Chapter 775 The natural god, the commander of the reinforcements
The majestic and resonant military song seemed to be sung by tens of thousands of warriors in unison, and it seemed to shake the Huyan Mountain to tremble slightly. The singing also seemed to have magic power, and most of the Xia herdsmen's faces changed immediately after hearing it.
, panic was spreading among them, and at this moment, the loud singing from the south suddenly sounded, echoing with the singing of soldiers and horses from the east side of Huyan Mountain: "The horse-tailed huqin follows the Han chariot, and the music sounds like a self-pity Shanyu
.Bend your bow and don’t shoot at the geese in the clouds. The returning geese now don’t remember the book..."
In the formation of Xiaotang's three armies, Yao Pingzhong and the remaining 1,600-odd soldiers under his command actually shouted loudly, and the singing echoed with the soldiers and horses on the east and south sides, and became louder and louder: "The flag team is like a pile of brocades,
Silver-clad back-wei fights **. First teach Jing to sweep Anxi Road, wait for the horses to drink from the source of the river, Lingwu Xiliang does not need to be surrounded, the Tibetan family always waits for the king's master. Half of the city is Kansai, and there are still Gachi'er at that time
..."
Lu Zhishen can also sing this military song, and Han Shizhong can also sing it. It is precisely because of the triumphal song composed by Shen Kuo, the author of Mengxi Bitan, that it was widely sung by the soldiers of the Western Army in the side court. The majestic military song here has been heard by tens of thousands of people.
Singing in unison, it means that a large number of Western troops are marching to Taiyuan Mansion on Hedong Road, and they have set up an ambush here to annihilate all the Xia tribes!
If Tian Hu, Wang Qing in the original novel, Zhang Di, and Wang Ze in the official history rebelled and caused chaos, most of the state military commanders were only greedy for power and wealth, deliberately depriving the army of food, killing good people and taking credit for their merits, and instead committed plunder.
They harassed the local area and forced many innocent people to join the thieves. As a result, the thieves became more and more powerful, and the country was afraid of crime, so they had to deceive the superiors and conceal the culpability. As a result, Tian Hu and other green forest lords separatist parties, and only when the climate was established did the court know about the chaos of the rebellion.
The thieves have long since cut off the territory and become independent.
But what is the concept of tens of thousands of Xia Kingdom's bows and horses riding on the incoming invaders, burning and killing them? If such an important matter is not held accountable, the local army chief and prefecture officials should report it to the court as soon as possible, and dispatch a large army to suppress it.
Their official positions and lives were guaranteed. Therefore, the imperial court immediately knew that Xia thieves had entered the country. The nature of the war changed from a rebellion by local bandits to an invasion by foreign enemy chiefs. Therefore, Yu Bianting's duty was to defend against the Xia Kingdom.
A large number of soldiers and horses of the Western Army were also ordered by the Privy Council to rush to Taiyuan Prefecture to assist Xiao Tang in the battle.
The letter Xiao Tang received on that day stated that the Western Army was not far from Huyan Mountain. In the letter, the commander-in-chief of the unified army also mentioned the Xixia nomadic fighting style and gave advice on how to defeat these invading and plundering troops step by step.
The Xia thieves forced their way into the encirclement network set up by the Song army. The formation was now complete. To the north were the steep cliffs of Huyan Mountain, to the east and south were well-prepared Western troops and horses, and to the west were the officials commanded by Xiao Tang.
The army, even though the Xia people are relying on their tribes and herdsmen with superb riding skills, now they want to easily get rid of the army and break through the encirclement, I am afraid they can only drive the horses to grow a pair of wings!
The plan to encircle the Xia tribes this time was not thought up by Xiao Tang, Xiao Jiasui and others. They are now following the advice of the commander who led the Western Army to come to the starry night for reinforcements and led their troops to cooperate with the Western Army's encirclement.
tactics. In the letter, it was only stated that 60,000 people came to aid the Western Army, and explained to Xiao Tang the specific location of the encirclement plan. It also did not mention which veteran general in the Western Army would serve as the commander. So.
The arrangements for encircling and ambushing the Xia people's light cavalry were also very well done. Xiao Tang couldn't help but wonder, was the commander of the reinforcements the famous general who shone brightly in official history?
At this time, the Xia tribes had also discovered that the Song army, which was approaching from the east and south, turned out to be the Western Army of the Song Dynasty, which had repeatedly defeated the elite troops of the Xia Kingdom. There was an immediate commotion among the panicked cavalry.
Ye Luankui rode his horse around and cursed angrily in the formation: "Don't panic! Even though the Song army was powerful, it might not be possible to rush out! They were forced by the enemy's force before they started fighting. Is it possible that you guys are still there?"
Are you really planning to lead yourself to death!?"
Just as Ye Luangkui was trying to appease the tribesmen of the Dangxiang tribes, a leader suddenly galloped up to him on horseback. The leader looked frightened and panicked, and pointed at the Song Army flag erected to the south.
He panicked and said to Yeluan Kui: "Yeluan Kuai, look!"
The angry Yelunkui looked towards the general, and when he looked at the name on the clear flag, his expression changed drastically, and he almost fell off his horse. He exclaimed: "A natural-born divine general! It's him who's coming!"
"
On the west side of the Song Army under Xiao Tang's command, a group of Western Army officers had already urged their horses to gallop forward to join Xiao Tang. The leading general urged their horses to run to the center formation. After seeing Xiao Tang, he immediately
He turned over and dismounted, raised his hands to Xiao Tang and said, "Xiao Renxia, I haven't seen you for a long time, but I didn't expect to see you again here!"
It turned out that the general of the Western Army was the soldier and horse supervisor of Tong'an Village on Jingyuan Road at that time. He had followed Xiaozhong's manager Lue Xianggong to the capital on official business a few years ago, and he and Yang Zhi were not acquainted with each other. Xiao Duan.
Tang Ye returned the salute with his hand and said with a smile: "Qu is a prisoner. I have a chance to fight side by side with you this time. Is Mr. Xiaozhong still well?"
Hearing Xiao Tang talk about Zhong Shi, Yao Pingzhong could not help but curl up his lips, while Qu Duan smiled and said: "Old Xiao Zhong, the Prime Minister, ordered his troops to line up in several forts in Hengshan. Although everything is complicated,
Naturally, the body is fine. Brothers Zhe Yanye and Zhe Yanzhi also commanded their troops and horses on the south side. After the three armies encircle and attack and wipe out all the Ganxia dogs, the Zhe brothers will come to talk to Xiao Renxia about the past."
I have to say that Qu Duan's temperament is somewhat similar to that of Yao Pingzhong, but he is even more jealous of people he doesn't want to see. Qu Duan, who is prone to offending villains, will not give them any good face. However, although he was almost the same in the previous episode
When they started fighting with Guan Sheng, Hua Rong and others, they did not pay much attention to Xiao Tang, who was favored by the Meng family and had just come to power. However, when the two sides competed at the Bianjing Forbidden Army Academy, the headstrong and fierce Qu Duan was again
He looked down upon others, but he was indeed impressed by Xiao Tang's extraordinary martial arts.
Nowadays, Xiao Tang's official titles have increased even more. He has become a military governor and an important minister in the Privy Council, the highest military institution in the Song Dynasty. This time, he is also the commander-in-chief of the Song army that suppresses Fuhe East Road. Although Qu Duan has an unruly temperament, but at this time
Don't wait for Xiao Tang to be even remotely rude.
At this time, I heard Qu Duan sneer and say: "That group of Xia thieves are fighting together. I have heard that there are tribesmen in Yinzhou Qiaobian Village. Zhiniang thieves, that tribe is quite famous, and they often win the Xia Army."
Si Zhengzheng, fought a bloody battle with our Western Army sons in Hengshan. I originally thought that the Song Dynasty was about to dispatch troops and horses to fight against the Xia Kingdom again, but I didn’t expect to run into this group of pickles again on Hedong Road! This unfortunate person can be here.
We completely wiped out that group of men and women, but those guys invaded our Song Dynasty to seek death!"
"Among the tribes of the Xia people who were burned and killed by the incoming bandits, the one who committed the most serious crimes by taking advantage of the enemy's stronghold was the most serious. Naturally, this group of enemy chiefs must be eliminated."
Xiao Tang pondered and then asked Qu Duan: "Qu Duan, which general in the Western Army is leading the Western Army to rush to Hedong Road this time?"
After listening to Xiao Tang's question, Qu Duan, who was originally unconvinced, showed a look of admiration on his face. He said to Xiao Tang: "The man who led several troops to the east of Hedong was also the one who became famous in our Western Army in times of crisis.
He is a veteran general, and he is deeply respected by the old and souchong managers. He has gone through hundreds of battles and killed the Xia people to death. He has always been a hero in the army that no general is willing to imitate. He is respected by all the officers and soldiers in the Western Army.
The prestige is not inferior to Xiao Renxia Xin’s reputation in the world..."
Qu Duan immediately told Xiao Tang the name of the commander-in-chief of the Western Army who came to aid. Xiao Tang was suddenly stunned when he heard this, and secretly said in his heart: It is him who came. The Western Army has many generals from generation to generation, and many generals and talents have emerged from generation to generation.
, and now it seems that Qu Duan, Wu Jie, the Zhe brothers and others are all low-level generals, Liu Qi, Yao Pingzhong and others are still young, and this famous general's reputation even surpasses that of Yao Gu at this time.
, Yao Xiong, Yang Keshi and other veteran generals are indeed pillars of the Western Army.
