Tan Wei pulled Hai Dongqing's head and found that the Hai Dongqing had died due to a broken neck. He couldn't figure out whether it was because he was too strong or whether it was dead before it fell. In short, this is
The first sea turtle to die for the country.
His own seagull, which had lost a lot of hair, was screaming sadly on the side. Tan Wei was worried that this one would die too, so he quickly had it sent to his mansion, where the seagull would get
Best care from falconers.
Triton has a high status in the military, and what Tan Wei is worried about now is whether he will be punished for the death of this Triton.
As for the military report tied to Hai Dongqing's leg, it is not new at all. A fool can guess what it says. It is nothing more than that a large army has approached Hequ City.
Opening the military report inside, it was true that Liang Ji and more than 10,000 people were stationed in Xiongyong Village, less than 30 miles away from Hequ City, waiting for an opportunity to sneak attack on the Khitans.
Tan Wei slapped his forehead in annoyance. Hai Dongqing had already come over. Even the blind man saw Hai Dongqing fighting in the sky just now. Who would have thought that the reinforcements from Hequ City had already arrived?
Liang Ji was famous among the Western Beijing Army for not being able to fight without his commander. His city gate was now besieged by the Xixia and Liao people. After the two armies were combined, they only had more than 10,000 men. How could he defend the city without losing anything?
It's already pretty good, but where can you find the strength to fight in the field with the more than 300,000-strong army of Xiao Dahu, the King of Beiyuan?
Tan Wei now only hopes that Liang Ji will not get crazy and sneak attack Xiao Dahu at night. In the past few years, he and Ge Tianfang have used countless sneak attacks on Xiao Dahu. His army is growing, and at the same time, the Liao people
Also growing.
Hai Dongqing is a living example. In the past, I relied on Hai Dongqing's investigative methods to trick and flee countless Khitan people.
The Khitan people were not fools. They quickly discovered the true use of Haidongqing. The Haidongqing collected from all over the country soon appeared in the sky above Xijing. Although those Haidongqing could not do anything like the Great Song Dynasty Haidongqing
They can replace the scouts, but their destructive methods are still very amazing. After suffering losses, as long as the Khitan people see the shadow of Haidongqing in the sky, their Haidongqing will fly into the sky for no other reason.
I just hope that my own Hai Dongqing can kill the Song people’s scout Hai Dongqing and give them a clean sky.
The Khitan people's horns sounded outside the city. Tan Wei carefully poked his head out of the city wall. Two soldiers immediately raised their oars and shields to protect his body tightly. Tan Wei wanted to see outside, but he could only look through
The gap above the oar shield.
As expected, two crossbow arrows were shot up from the bottom of the city. They were nailed to the oar shield and shook slightly before falling off. The soldiers expressionlessly lit the two gunpowder shells and threw them down the city wall without even looking at them. There was a loud bang.
After two sounds, seven or eight corpse-like people suddenly jumped up among the corpses on the ground, running backwards desperately. These were all dead soldiers who had secretly ambushed the field while they were fighting.
Ba Niu Crossbow easily left four people behind, and the remaining few people jumped up and down on the wasteland and disappeared in the distance.
Dead soldiers should not be scared away by gunpowder bombs so easily. These Khitan people are already very familiar with the power of gunpowder bombs. As long as they lie on the ground and do not let the gunpowder bombs explode directly on their bodies, those gunpowder bombs will not pose a threat to themselves.
How old, after experiencing several brutal wars, the Khitan people gradually adapted to the application of gunpowder bullets on the battlefield.
The horn sounded again, and this time Tan Wei heard it clearly. It was the Khitan's retreat horn. It seemed that Xiao Dahu also knew that the Song army's reinforcements had arrived, and saw that the plan to attack the city had been completed.
If nothing happened, he simply withdrew his troops. If they were to get entangled with Yunzheng's army in this area, the geographical location would be too bad for the Khitans.
The unobstructed plain was originally the Khitan people's favorite battlefield. Once the cavalry started charging in this flat area, they would be invincible.
Unfortunately, since the emergence of gunpowder bombs, their explosive power and huge sound effects have had a great impact on war horses. Once thousands of gunpowder bombs explode on the path of a cavalry charge, even the most powerful
The docile war horse will also scream wildly and lead the knight on it to a place without flames and loud noises, and that place will often be ambushed with a large number of Song infantry wearing heavy armor...
This is how the cavalry went from being invincible to being miserable.
The Song army at the top of the city kept pouring the newly melted ice water under the city. The Fire Dragon Team also sprayed the ice water evenly four to five feet away from the city. In this way, the corpses under the city would be covered with a thin layer of ice.
The covering will not slowly thaw until the beginning of the next spring. Now, these miserable corpses are still needed to show the power of the Song Army.
The scouts finally had a chance to return to the city. They carefully returned to the city from a distance in twos and threes. Everyone stayed far away from the corpses. Three days ago, the scouts were curious to see the Khitans who died on the wasteland.
He was a human being, but he was brutally killed by the Khitan people disguised as corpses.
"Where did Liang Ji go? Why isn't he in Xiongyong Village?" When Tan Wei heard that Liang Ji was no longer in Xiongyong Village, his brain ached for a while. Xiao Dahu was not a fuel-efficient lamp.
It is impossible to retreat without leaving behind a broken army.
Seeing the general's ugly expression, the scout quickly said: "General Liang said that the commander-in-chief gave him an order to retrieve Wei Ge Ningling's head, so this goal must be achieved, so he went to find Wei Ge Ningling."
Tan Wei asked again: "Where is Wei Ge Ning Ling now?"
The scout pointed to the east of Hequ City and said: "They have crossed the Yellow River on the ice. They have not left, but are stationed in the warmer Nanshan Mountain."
Faced with the fierce attacks of the Khitan people in recent days, Tan Wei had almost forgotten that the army could only be used as dead soldiers. Now that he heard that the group of people still did not leave after suffering heavy losses, he was very worried about this.
It was a trap set by Xiao Dahu.
Wei Ge would rather order Guo En to be killed, which is untenable in theory. Even if it is to kill, there is no need to use the torture of dismembering the body with five horses. In the end, Guo En's body was hung at the gate of the camp to attract hatred.
Ge Ningling knew that his men were at their weakest, and recuperation was the most important thing. Provoking the enemy for no reason was not what a wise man would do.
What's more, Wei Gening's subordinates were short of food and clothing, especially cotton-padded clothes for the winter. Since Guo En had already provided them with food, grass and weapons, there was no reason not to equip them with cotton-padded clothes.
There are a lot of cotton-padded clothes in Hequ City, and there are at least more than 100,000 sets prepared in the tunnels. These are military supplies purchased through the Sichuan Chamber of Commerce. In order to be able to successfully march into the Liao Kingdom, Yun Shuai prepared an extremely rich supply of various materials.
The weapons and grain that Guo En transferred to Wei Ge Ning Ling were those he ordered Lang Tan to deliver with the army token in hand.
Now that we have entered the cold winter, we cannot rely on our strong bodies to withstand the cold wind in the wilderness. No matter how fierce the soldier is, living in the wilderness wearing single clothes, he will be frozen to death after one night. The scary thing here is not the severe cold, but the severe cold.
Cold wind.
Tan Wei really didn't understand why the commander sent a wooden guy like Liang Ji here. Whether it was Jiang Zhe or Wu Jie, they should be the best leaders. Why did he just send Liang Ji here? It was such an obvious trap.
Everyone has to dive in head first.
There are only 6,000 Jingxi troops in Hequ City, guarding the food and military supplies here. When Lang Tan left Hequ City, he had already issued an order that the defenders in the city were not allowed to leave the area three miles away from Hequ City. Otherwise, those who went out for any reason would flee.
Not subject to severe punishment under military law.
Wei Ge Ning Ling stood in the cold wind and looked at Xiao Dahu's envoy coldly and said: "Give me a cotton coat or leather coat, and I will stay here honestly as a bait."
The messenger was a middle-aged scribe, dressed purely as a Song Dynasty man. Although he was wearing a cotton robe, he was still shivering in the cold wind.
After listening to Wei Ge Ning Ling's words, he laughed, rubbed his hands and said: "Without the winter cotton-padded clothes, you will stay in this leeward place honestly. With the cotton-padded jackets, God knows where you will go.
, since your country’s prime minister doesn’t care about your life or death, why should we think too much about it?”
"In the past, Guo En prepared to give us cotton-padded clothes..."
The messenger laughed and said: "Didn't you kill it already? It was still divided into five pieces!"
Wei Ge Ningling said expressionlessly: "I don't want to do this!"
"You have already done this, so you have no choice now. If you can let Song Jun fall into this trap, maybe my king will give you some clothes to keep out the cold." The messenger looked at Wei Ge Ning Ling playfully,
It's like looking at a dead person.
Wei Ge Ningling's clothes were very thin, his waist was still very straight, and he said with a strange smile: "Now it means that I have to stay here to act as a bait no matter what? No matter what the reason, we can't let it go
Has his destiny changed?"
The messenger smiled and said: "I don't see any power that can allow you to escape."
Wei Ge Ningling suddenly reached out his hand, strangled the messenger's neck tightly, and lifted his thin body up with one hand, while his other hand began to peel off the cotton-padded clothes on the messenger's body. At the same time, Shou Shou
Zhang He, who was nearby, also led a group of Xixia people wearing various protective clothing to protect themselves from the cold, and surrounded them with hundreds of people brought by the envoy.
They did not kill the Khitan people, but just took off all the clothes on their bodies. Wei Ge Ning ordered to take off his clothes from the envoy and threw them to a subordinate covered with hay. Looking down at them, he was so frightened that he almost fainted.
The messenger said: "Since we are all going to die, it is better to let a hundred or ten people survive first."
In a short period of time, the envoy was shivering with cold, and he managed to say: "The king will not let you go."
Wei Ge Ningling took out the flask and took a sip of strong wine and said: "I am a hero as fierce as a tiger, why should I survive by looking at his face like Xiao Dahu!" (To be continued)
