Chapter 195 **(1)
Wang Ji stepped forward and said, "Thank you all for your help."
The people who came to Jier Village and Yequ Village were the people who frightened Yewu Shexing to escape.
Yewu Shexing thought there were many reinforcements, but where were there? Dang Liyuan Fort and Pingrong Town were not defending, so they transferred their troops together?
In fact, all the troops that can be drawn out in Huachi County are on both sides of Dongjian River. There are also troops, that is, strong men and strong horses, but where can I get time to gather? Moreover, most of their villages are threatening how to gather.
So this leads to another story.
But before yesterday, the king of kings slightly changed the combat plan he had formulated. The people of the two villages were saved and were very enthusiastic. The main battlefield was not too far from here, so Wang Ju quietly sent people to make many flags.
When the two armies were in a stalemate, the people of the two villages came from a distance holding flags and whispering trumpets. They could not take it seriously, and then they would be exposed. Sure enough, this trick was used.
Wang Ju picked out some weapons from the spoils and threw some dead horses, allowing these people to carry them back as a reward.
Yao Yi came over. Now that Xixia is defeated, he no longer needs to inspire morale. There are countless scouts outside who are monitoring the movements of Xinjiang Basin Fort and Rouyuan Village, so the commanders of each battalion led their troops to chase and kill them.
"This battle came in time. After this bloody battle, the soldiers' entire appearance changed."
"That's right, so why do battalions attach importance to veterans who have experienced many battles? This is the real bloody battle, rather than going to the mountains to suppress bandits."
"Minister Wang..."
"Zi'an, this magistrate doesn't sound very comfortable."
"Then I will dare to call you Zi'an."
To be called a character but not an official also represents a kind of close relationship.
"Zi'an, this battle also received a large number of war horses. Did you draw out three hundred war horses?" Yao Yi said implicitly, which was related to a question of pensions and rewards.
The two battles were won brilliantly, but many soldiers were sacrificed. Especially in this battle, the minor injuries were not counted. More than 100 soldiers were seriously injured, and nearly 200 soldiers died heroically. After the two battles, a whole battalion of troops was killed.
The court will have pensions, but this pension is not much. Maybe like Wang Ju's father, he will meet a bad general and eat nothing left.
Of course, this battle also gained a lot.
It has nothing to do with materials, and you can also expect that the Xixia army can have many materials. Even if there are, they are still from the local people. Wang Ju's official position is not a military general. But a civil servant, a local magistrate, and governing the people is his main responsibility. These materials must be returned to the people.
In addition, weapons and armor are the spoils. Those that can be used are left behind, and those that cannot be used can be returned. There is also a courtyard in Qingzhou, and the workshop on the Huachi River will start construction soon. This can save some military expenses for the court and save Wang Ju a lot of money. But this direct benefit cannot be spread to the officers and soldiers, or the court will indirectly receive some rewards. But God knows how many rewards will be given?
Besides, it's horse.
Wang Ju played some touching balls and pulled away some injured horses and the elderly, weak and disabled horses, and asked Zhu Qing to deal with them. However, these horses were not worth much. The more ten stakes were ten stakes, and the less were only a few stakes. After staking them out, the money was not much.
Therefore, Yao Yi had the idea of getting a good horse.
If you give three hundred good horses to the court, you can get nine thousand stagnant coins. With those remaining horses, you will also have pensions and rewards, and your morale will be stronger.
Wang Ju thought for a while and said, "No, we can keep these horses, and we can expand the cavalry, but we can't deal with them with crooked doors and slants. In this battle, the entire Huanqing officers and soldiers did not do anything, and we were the only one who stood out to leave this great talk. At that time, we will not be a meritorious, but a guilty one. But there is a chance."
Speaking of this, he shouted to Li Sangou in the distance: "Uncle Sangou, come here."
Li Sangou came over and Wang Ju said, "I have a plan in my mind. Do you think it's okay?"
The three of them started discussing again.
It took a long time for the three of them to stand up. These two battles were to fight against invasion, and the following battle would be to fight for wealth.
The three of them stood up, the battle in Dongjian Valley stopped, the battlefield was still cruel, and dead bodies were everywhere. In the sky, vultures smelled blood and kept hovering, but they were afraid of the humans moving below and did not fly down.
Many infantrymen were cleaning the battlefield or leading seized horses.
Wang Ju and the other two looked at the horses happily.
Field cavalry is still the king of the world. If it weren't for the two battalions of cavalry, they might not have been able to win so gloriously, or even win.
Wang Ju suddenly thought of the Yue family army decades later.
The Yue family army is invincible, but everyone also ignores one thing, that is, the cavalry.
The Song army had no war horses, but what were the Jin people? They had no guns or cannons, and the enemy built them for us. Yue Fei got a large number of war horses from the Jin people, and then formed a powerful cavalry to finally jump into the Central Plains.
Therefore, Wang Ju planned to reorganize this battalion of Poche Army into cavalry. Compared with the foreigners, their advantages were slightly worse. One was the Han people and the other was the French people. They grew up on the border and were both semi-cultivated and semi-herd. However, the foreigners were mainly herds and had been accustomed to riding various livestock since childhood. So after practicing, they would be a powerful cavalry. In this regard, the Poche Army was at a disadvantage. But I believe that the foundation was better than the Yue family army. Moreover, what they were dealing with was not the Yuan Meng Iron Cavalry, but the half-calm jealous Xixia people.
In fact, looking back, the most powerful cavalry may not be the Jin people, but the Yuanmeng. Looking forward, it was not the Turks, but the Huns. It seemed that there had not been any horse-dressing at that time, which weakened the combat effectiveness of the Huns.
Those people are truly born on horseback and raised on horseback, and their riding skills are extremely excellent. But they have nothing to do with the current Ugu enemy. One is that there are few people, and the other is that the parts are scattered and cannot be mixed. Once a talented and stubborn person combines the various divisions on the northern prairie, like Genghis Khan, it will be a nightmare for everyone in the age of cold weapons.
However, from the perspective of survival, nomadic peoples cannot last long. Although the farming people have weak combat effectiveness, because of the farming civilization, as long as they are peaceful, the population can reproduce rapidly.
"Does the Han people really be rabbits?"
But this problem is too headache. It is even more headache than the so-called ethnic issue. Wang Ju thought about it, automatically ignored it, and said, "Uncle Sangou, you should take a battalion of cavalry to Rouyuan Village."
There are hundreds of Xixia people over there.
Because it was the territory of Rouyuan Village, Wang Ju had no intention of taking action. But for the following plan, these hundreds of people were also eliminated.
Li Sangou roared away with several battalions of cavalry.
The news also reached Gyeongju.
Sun Mian was shocked. More than 2,000 elite troops of Xixia, and more than half of them were real cavalry, were killed again? Who is the Xixia native? Why does it seem to be reversed?
After a while, I asked: "Is there any movement in the Xinjiang Ball Fort?"
Zhang Qi finally couldn't help it. He said: "There are not many permanent troops in Xixia, and he has sent so many troops to plunder, so where can there be any troops available."
This is what I said because I can't stand it.
He did not expect Sun Mian to take the opportunity to take down the Xinjiang Ball Fort.
This fortress is very important, no less than the Tumen lost in Yanzhou and the Xijun City on the other side of Qinfeng Road. Once you get it, you will be two gate gods that will protect Qingzhou. But for the people of Xixia, it is the Double Ghost Slap Gate, and Baibao City is facing the attack of the Song Dynasty at any time.
However, Sun Mian did it, and Zhang Ju and Wang Ju may not agree. After getting rid of Li Liangzuo's thousands of troops, Li Liangzuo may not care. At most, it hurts and annoys. Once the Xinjiang Ball Fort is officially taken down, Li Liangzuo will definitely send heavy troops to launch a crazy attack. This is not afraid. Sun Mian is in charge. Can he win the battle?
So the clever approach, since the enemy has been wiped out, the remaining military camps will attack together, and call out Wang Ju and Yao Yi. Sweep the other plundering troops, and at least defeat the plundering troops in Huai'an Town again.
The three plundering troops were wiped out. Li Liangzuo was so distressed that he did not dare to plunder Qingyuan Road again in the future.
But Zhang Feng didn't have much hope. Sure enough, Sun Mian only said: "Talk again and report again."
Grandma's, it's not as good as Sun Changqing. Although Sun Changqing is weak-hearted, if everyone persuades you, you may be able to take advantage of this great opportunity.
Zhang Feng was so angry that he almost threw away his sleeves.
However, he remembered Wang Ju's advice, brother, don't underestimate Mr. Sun, he was highly recommended by Mr. Ouyang.
What about Ouyang Xiu? He thought of the rumors in the capital he heard, and cursed in his heart that he was a group of hypocrites who harmed the country and the people!
The next day the battle broke out again.
Li Sangou led hundreds of cavalry to find the hundreds of Xixia infantry who were retreating. The group of infantry mainly hit the emperor. When he heard that the battle ahead was defeated, he would dare to stay there and escort the people who had collected the materials and fled to the Xinjiang Basin Fort, just halfway through Li Sangou.
Hundreds of cavalry charged forward, and the group of men began to flee. Li Sangou sent some people to chase and kill them, and asked the people to go home. Since the officers and soldiers of Rouyuan Village were ineffective, he had to take the responsibility of the officials of Rouyuan Village and return the materials and livestock plundered by the Xixia people to each village one by one.
Then he carried the prisoners of war back to Huachi Town.
After several battles, more than a thousand prisoners of war were obtained and they used them to build roads with bandits. Wang Juzheng was worried about the manpower of building roads. He did not ask them to build the road from Huachi to Yanzhou, but to build the road from Fengchuan to Fuzhou. This place is far from the border of Xixia, and he can't escape even if he wants to.
Wang Ju left behind hundreds of horses and began to form a cavalry battalion of the Poche Army. All the remaining horses were taken by the officers and soldiers, taken to Qingzhou and handed over to Sun Mian to deal with.
Just when everyone thought he was going to stop, the third battle started again...
The target was that Zalizhai between Xinjiang Basin Fort and Dashun City was once a large tribe in Qingzhou. He defected to Xixia. After Xixia was placed in peace, he made profits through private business. When he was familiar with the terrain of Qingzhou, he sent a large number of children to the plundering army. Including these two times, dozens of Ding Zhuang from Zalizhai were among them.
Therefore, this village is very big and wealthy.
Why they defected to Xixia is another heavy topic.
Compared with the people of Xixia, the foreigners in the Song Dynasty paid almost no taxes and were only responsible for military service. However, because of the soft policies of the Song Dynasty, they were often plundered by the people of Xixia, and lived in humiliation and could not be effectively protected by the court.
Compared with the foreigners in the Song Dynasty, the Xixia side was poorer. Not only did they have heavy military service, but they also had strong military service and taxation. However, they lived with dignity and could also come to the Song Dynasty from time to time to fight the autumn wind.
Everyone has similar attraction, and they have a slightly advantage over the Song Dynasty. Therefore, there are often rebels and surrenders on the borders of the two countries. The foreign tribes who defected to the Song Dynasty are a little more than those who defected to the Xixia, but the Western Xia can plunder.
Therefore, if some foreign tribes are unsatisfied, they will also take the initiative to flee to the Xixia side.
Therefore, Fan Zhongyan wanted to launch a shallow attack tactic, not only strategic considerations, but also a consideration for the mutual defection of the French tribes. As long as the shallow attack tactics are launched, the Western Xia people on the border will lose their sense of security, and then no dignity or security will be gone. Everyone will be on an equal footing, and the ethnic policy of the Song Dynasty will give full play to its advantages.
Fan Zhongyan's shallow attack was immature, and the two countries then had no soil for peace talks. In history, until Zhang Yu, the effect was very significant. In fact, with Wei Mingshan's defection, the Song Dynasty began to try to take the initiative to attack. Although Luowucheng was defeated, more tribes came to join the Song Dynasty. Until Zhang Yu, it began to reach its peak.
But most scholars and officials may not care about the latter article, which led to the conflict between Wang Shao and Wang Anshi.
