Shen Tang, Liu Xiangling, the iron-blooded traitor in the Southern Song Dynasty Chapter 657: The commander's anger, twenty thousand soldiers and horses
Chapter 657: The commander's anger, twenty thousand soldiers and horses
Chapter 657: The commander is angry, 20,000 soldiers and horses
When the guards broke in, Bian Xi asked anxiously, "What is that boy Du Jie doing?
Didn’t you tell him that defense is the priority for the time being and not to engage in battle with the enemy easily?"
"General, it is not General Du who is leading the troops to fight the enemy!"
"Who is that?"
Bian Xi asked in astonishment, Du Jie was obviously stationed at this time!
However, the guard said, "General Du Jie just came to report that there were sounds of fighting from the direction of the enemy's military camp, but he didn't know which group of soldiers and horses it was from.
General Du has sent detective horses to investigate, and it is expected that further news will come later."
As soon as these words came out, Bian Xi and Ji Rong were stunned at first, and then they were overjoyed!
No matter what, it is a good thing that someone comes to fight the enemy! Maybe the reinforcements from the Song Dynasty have really arrived?
"Let's go and see..."
Bian Xi and Ji Rong walked out of the camp excitedly. Sure enough, the crazy attack that had lasted for more than ten days suddenly stopped at this moment.
There was no trace of the enemy in front of the mountain col where he and others were.
The two stood on the high ground and looked towards the direction of the Tubo military camp. Sure enough, the sky was full of dust and there were constant shouts of killing!
"Okay, okay, okay..." Bian Xi clapped his hands and laughed, and the depression of the past ten days was completely gone! No matter which troops came, they undoubtedly brought hope to them.
If they could avoid death, who would be willing to bury their bones in the wilderness?
What's more, if reinforcements really arrive, these men under his command will be saved.
"Observe the movements of the enemy's camp at all times, Ji Rong, keep an eye on it personally and send more scouting horses to see which group of people is coming."
Bian Xi shouted loudly.
Ji Rong also nodded excitedly!
Compared to the excitement of Bian Xi and Ji Rong, the Tubo military camp five miles away was filled with anger at this moment!
The Tibetan commander guarding here is none other than Ramduqi, one of the four commanders under the command of the great commander Dawa Tata! As one of the four commanders, Ramduqi's biggest characteristic is that he does not care about life and death once a war begins.
No matter the cost! Therefore, the tens of thousands of tribesmen under his command suffered heavy casualties during this period! If it were not for the Tibetan army as the governor, I am afraid that these tribesmen would have been defeated long ago!
"Where did these men and horses come from, and they dared to raid our camp!"
Ramduzi shouted angrily at the surrounding generals.
It’s no wonder that he was angry. This army of soldiers and horses suddenly appeared. They were attacked without any preparation! Moreover, there were 20,000 soldiers and horses! If it was only 20,000 soldiers and horses, Ramduqi would not care at all.
Fear, with 10,000 elite troops in his headquarters, he is confident enough to withstand an enemy that is twice his own size.
However, all of the 20,000 soldiers and horses were cavalry, and their riding skills were as good as those of the most elite cavalry in Tibet!
The soldiers and horses attacked and killed each other, and arrows rained down from the sky. The soldiers guarding the camp gate were killed and wounded more than a thousand! Moreover, these soldiers and horses were not eager to fight. After charging, they did not fight with them at all, but just turned their horses away!
In half a day, these soldiers and horses raided their military camp three times.
Even though he had ordered strict precautions, the number of casualties still reached two thousand, and not to mention the other party's injuries, they didn't even know where the other party came from until now.
"Commander, could he be an elite member of the Jin Kingdom?
Weren't there tens of thousands of golden soldiers and cavalry helping the Song Dynasty before?"
A general said.
"I can't tell. I was at the camp gate just now and saw the faces of those people from a distance. They were people from the Song Dynasty.
It’s just that the Song people probably don’t have such powerful cavalry!”
Some people also spoke out in rebuttal.
You must know that three raids in half a day not only place extremely high demands on horses, but also place higher demands on soldiers.
Under the command of the great commander Dawa Tata, there was also a cavalry numbering eight thousand, and these soldiers and horses were the elite of Tibet.
However, Ramduzi knew very well that the cavalry under the commander would be exhausted even if they made two consecutive raids!
"Have the horses been set up yet?"
Ignoring the garbled words of the generals, Ramduzi asked coldly.
Before that, they were the attacking side, and Bian Xi and others had no chance to counterattack.
Therefore, they naturally didn't bother to build any defense for their camp!
"Commander, the preparations for resisting horses and trenches in the direction of Beiyuan Gate have been completed! However, those cavalry raided again just now, and some of the soldiers who set up to resist horses were injured again by hundreds of people! In addition, the east and west directions of the two gates are also being laid out. It is estimated that,
Everything can be ready before sunset!”
Trenching and blocking horses are the most effective means to deal with cavalry, and they have no technical content at all! Therefore, it only took them half a day to surround the main attack direction of the 20,000 cavalry.
Ramduzi nodded, but the look on his face still didn't ease much!
Setting up horse barriers and trenches could only alleviate the enemy's attack, but they still couldn't do it if they wanted to counterattack the enemy.
In addition, how could he be safe with such an unknown enemy force, Chen Bing, peeking outside his camp at any time?
"Send out all the archers and shield soldiers to defend on all sides.
Build up the fortifications as quickly as possible! Then, increase our strength to attack the surrounded Song army! After taking them down, we can position our troops in the mountain col, and take advantage of the mountain col terrain to fight with the cavalry.
Field! No matter how strong they are, they only have 20,000 troops and horses, and we still have nearly 50,000 people. Even if they are exhausted, they are no match for us!"
Ramduzi said in a solemn voice.
"As you command!"
All the generals drank in unison!
This sudden arrival of troops was, of course, the army led by Teng Wu and Cheng Yuhu!
At this moment, they were stationed less than ten miles away from the Tibetan military camp for repairs.
Although they were repairing, the entire 20,000-strong army was silent! Most of them were still lined up neatly, and a few people were quietly replenishing the missing arrows...
Although the number of the troops under Teng and Wu is the same as before, with no additional soldiers, but in terms of combat effectiveness, the current army is no longer comparable to the original 20,000 soldiers and horses.
This army is like raising poison, the weak will be replaced at any time, so everyone who remains is the best among the best.
If compared with the Beiwei Army, it is naturally still much inferior.
However, if compared with other soldiers, it is a world of difference! Even the most elite legion in the Song Dynasty, with the same number, is by no means a match for this army!
