Chapter 41 Life and death have always been a big problem
Laiyuan Village and Dingyuan Village are the two arms extending out from the main village of Qinwangchuan, while Xiaoluomen Village behind Qinwangchuan is the logistics camp that supplies the three fortresses in front.
The terrain of Qinwangchuan is peculiar. After entering the boundary of Qinzhou, the vast Qinwangchuan will be shrunk into a trumpet by the majestic mountains on both sides. Qinwangchuan Village happens to be at the top of the trumpet. Fu Bi spent a long time and spent a lot of time on it.
After a lot of effort, two military strongholds, Laiyuan and Dingyuan, were built on the gentle slopes on both sides to protect the left and right wings of the main Qinwangchuan stronghold and to prevent the Xixia people from breaking through the Qinwangchuan defense line from the cliffs on both sides.
Such a military stronghold created by Fu Bi can naturally defend against the Qingtang people's attack. It is a pity that his enemies now have become the Xixia people. In comparison, the Xixia people are better at siege warfare and can defeat Dong Fei.
The returning military stronghold may not necessarily be an opponent with a larger military strength and more experience, but there is no other, just because the Xixia army is filled with a large number of Han generals, whether it is Zhang Zhi, Zhang Jiang, or Zhang Wenxian
They can all be regarded as temporary candidates for siege operations.
Wu Zangying Pang glanced at Dingyuan Village where the black smoke gradually dissipated, patted the armrest of the chair and said to Zhang Zhi: "The resistance of the Song Army is resolute, and the guard is not a coward. It seems that Fu Bi really intends to
Died in battle at Qin Wangchuan.
The generals who want to live are not scary, but the generals who don't want to live are scary. If Fu Bi doesn't even want his own life, we will suffer a lot if we want to break through Qin Wangchuan. No wonder Yunzheng will station troops in Chencang and not move. It seems
He also planned to die in Chencang. With these two people as examples, it will be very difficult for us to break through Fengxiang Mansion. This battle may not be worth the gain. But as things have become, we have no choice, so we ordered Zhang Jiang to continue the attack.
!”
Zhang Zhi turned around and conveyed the military order to the army commander, and then said to Wu Zang and Pang: "Fu Bi is an important minister of the Song Dynasty and has a reputation of benevolence and filial piety. If you say that he will fight to the death, the general will naturally have no objection. But what do you say?
Zheng Yijie, a naughty kid, is also determined to die in battle, is it..."
Jing Xun followed: "Yun Zheng is just a clown. He took the scientific examination at the same time as his humble position. The most ridiculous thing is that he completed the competition at home. How can this be convincing? General Zhang is right.
, this villain who is greedy for sex and loves wealth will definitely not have the courage to fight to the death. I am afraid that he will lose his shit as soon as the army arrives."
Wu Zangyu Pang looked at Zhang Jiangjun and started to move forward slowly, sat down and said with a smile: "Jing Xun, if it can be exchanged, I would rather exchange a hundred or a thousand people like you for the one you are talking about."
Slippery kid.
Zhang Zhi, it is understandable that you have never met Yun Zheng and have not suffered from his abuse. Do you know that the reason why our country of Great Xia has fallen to this point is thanks to Yun Zheng. Haha, it is said that in the summer, the thin mountains gradually become visible.
The decline was due to the evil consequences caused by Yunzheng's riot in Xixia six years ago. The former emperor's generation of heroes were manipulated by this man, and then the tragedy of the Prince's Mansion happened. The truth was almost killed under his calculations, and the Maitreya Cult
The Buddhist disciple Gao Tansheng, a great figure of his generation, was also killed by him. Can you imagine that he had done so many evil things, yet he was respectfully sent back to the Song Dynasty by Yehuo Hengchuan and gave him three thousand good horses as a gift?
Jing Xun, you are now only a fifth-rank official in our Daxia, but Yun Zheng's official position was higher than yours at the beginning! Haha, let's not talk about this anymore, Zhang Zhi, remember to fight Yun Zheng, you'd better grow one more
Mind’s eye.”
Zhang Zhi looked at Jingxun with all his thoughts in mind, then closed his mouth and stared at the battlefield with all his concentration. Jingxun's face turned red, but he did not dare to show any dissatisfaction.
Generally speaking, today is a tentative attack. The ill-tempered soldiers need to vent their anger. After the baptism of death, these people can become quieter. They all know that their families are starving, and no one is not anxious.
The war entered a fever pitch from the very beginning. The Xixia people kept hitting Dingyuan Village like a huge hammer. Jia Kui's dark face was covered with soot, and marks were washed away by sweat. His voice was already a little hoarse.
, the long knife inserted into the cracks in the wood also had many chippings. If this continues, this big knife will turn into a saw.
Seeing countless kerosene bombs being thrown out, his heart was bleeding. This was only the first day, and 30% of the kerosene bombs were consumed. But if this thing is not used, the tide of Xixia people will be fierce.
Jump forward.
Fighting from morning to night, both the Song army and Zhang Jiang's army were very tired, but the Xixia people's attack did not stop. They had changed their tactics. The cavalry carried the infantry from a distance and threw them
On the ruins of the battlefield, these infantrymen would spontaneously form a charge formation and hit the city wall like huge waves, and then be completely wiped out by the Song army.
Looking at the scorching sun through the black smoke on the battlefield, the day was mercilessly baking the earth. The bodies of the Xixia people who died under the city began to stink in a short period of time, so Dingyuan Village was filled with a smell of
The strong smell of death.
"General, we can't go on like this. Our brothers are extremely tired. I just took a closer look and found that the Xixia people have changed their generals. The one who attacked us just now is no longer Zuo Lingjun's banner, and the general's banner is not Zhang Jiang's.
Yes, it was replaced by Wei Ming Shoucheng. They have many people and can replace them. We have few people and we have no time to replace them. If this continues, we will be exhausted. How about letting the last general lead the cavalry out of the stronghold gate and launch a counterattack?
"
Jia Kui hit his general Wang Shao on the shoulder and said: "No, our cavalry is just a showman and is not a match for the Xixia people. Now, the Xixia people avoid the more dangerous terrain and come to Yuanzhai just to get rid of us.
Break through here. I know you want to back up the fortified city and use cavalry to massacre the infantry. Don’t forget that they also have divine arm crossbows. Although the eight-niu crossbow has a long range, it cannot completely stop the Xixia people’s backup. This pair
The cavalry is too dangerous and should not be used lightly until the last moment.
Order the brothers to allocate 30% of each team to have some food and rest, and everyone will take turns. I don’t believe it. With so many casualties among the Xixia people, they can still attack endlessly? "
After receiving the order, Wang Shao went to the back village and led his men to place the houses needed to defend the city in the archery tower. Then he took the people who were taken out to hide behind the city wall to rest, although there were always arrows shooting from the sky.
Fallen, fell outside the shed, these extremely tired soldiers were sleeping soundly.
After the sun all set, the Xixia Army's troop retreat horn finally sounded. Wu Zangxuan Pang opened his closed eyes and looked at Dingyuan Village in the dusk and sighed: "The Song Army five years ago was not so tenacious.
It seems that the battle in the south has given these people a lot of strength and strength. From tonight onwards, we will pile up soil to build mountains and advance towards Dingyuan Village!"
Jia Kui sat slumped on the ground, feeling as if his chest was on fire. Just as he was about to ask the soldiers for a drink of water, a wine flask made of white copper was handed over. Jia Kui looked up and saw Fu Bi standing beside him with a smile.
around.
When he wanted to speak, Fu Bi put the jug into his hand and said, "Moisten your throat first. This is fine grape wine. Yun Zheng's soldiers sent it to me. I drank it and it tastes good."
Jia Kui was not polite and drank the grape wine in one gulp. The sour wine juice filled his stomach and lifted his spirits. He hurriedly asked: "Master Fu, could it be said that Marquis Yun's army has arrived?"
Fu Bi shook his head and said: "The enemy is not tired yet, so he refuses to come."
The glimmer of hope that Jia Kui had just raised was extinguished in his eyes again, and he smiled bitterly: "He wants to take advantage of it!"
Fu Bi found a bloodless place and sat down and said to Jia Kui: "There is no bargain in this battle, but his arrival has relieved our pressure. Even if we are defeated, he is still behind us, and I feel a lot in my heart."
Some comfort."
Jia Kui sighed: "The general would rather he send some military supplies than wine."
Fu Bi smiled and said, "Of course he sent military supplies, and he also sent hundreds of instructors to teach everyone how to use new weapons." As Fu Bi spoke, he picked a cantaloupe from the iron ring of the armor.
He handed the large and small gunpowder bombs to Jia Kui and said: "This is the equipment of the Youth Army. Yun Zheng's five years of hard work have been concentrated in the Youth Army. This kind of gunpowder bombs is very different from the gunpowder bombs we used in the past. I heard it is very powerful."
In the past, gunpowder bombs relied on the air waves after the explosion to hurt people. These gunpowder bombs rely on the broken iron pieces produced after the explosion to hurt people. Look at the outside of this gunpowder bomb. It is full of pig iron. Once it explodes, the broken iron pieces will hurt people.
It will splash and it is said that it can erode a radius of three feet."
The gunpowder projectile in Jia Kuitian's hand said: "No matter what the effect is, we will see the result tomorrow, but in this case Qin Wangchuan cannot be defended. The terrain of Dingyuan Village is not very good, and there is always a way to break it."
Fu Bi said: "We are just doing our best and obeying fate. Yun Zheng has evacuated all the people in Qinzhou to Fengxiang Mansion, and is also preparing to treat the entire Qinzhou as a huge battlefield and fight against the unhidden evil forces. What we do is to try our best.
The longer we hold on to create the time needed for him, the shortage of military rations that are not hidden will be greater, and the greater Yunzheng's hope of defeating him. This battle is of far-reaching significance. If we win, Xixia will be completely destroyed from now on.
If the decline of the Song Dynasty continues, the Song Dynasty will still have a legitimate excuse to regain Hehuang. Even Qingtang may be able to make a plan. If the Longyou Jiedu Mansion in the Tang Dynasty can be reproduced, the demise of Xixia will be a matter of time.
"
"Are we still going to counterattack?" Jia Kui asked Fu Bi blankly.
"Yes, Yun Zheng told me his plan. He also said that if his army came to Qin Wangchuan, there would be no problem in defending it. If Pang Jiu couldn't attack it, he would have to turn back and retreat, but both sides would lose.
It will definitely appear, and he will not have the strength to deal with another hungry wolf. We have only defended Qinzhou. When the time comes, Qingtang Dongxiang will take advantage of the situation and rise and become the second Xixia Kingdom.
In his letter, he asked me to weigh in. If we need him to lead troops to guard Qin Wangchuan, he will come over and give up his future plans. If we don't need him to come over, he will introduce Wu Zangyu Pang into Qinzhou at the appropriate time.
Relying on the complex terrain of Qinzhou, we will slowly bring down Wu Zangpang, and finally defeat him completely, making it impossible for him to come back. Tell me, how do we choose?"
Jia Kui looked at Fu Bi Feng Jiyunqing's face and smiled and said: "The Lord of the Palace has already made a plan, why bother to ask me, this old man, what you say I will do, if Yun Zheng cannot achieve his goal after we die in the battle
, he will not let him go until he is a ghost." (To be continued)
