The significance of grain and grass for combat is clear to every soldier, and it can even be extended to ordinary people...all know the great significance of grain and grass.
According to the agreement, the west post of Duting was a battlefield for three days, and anyone who left the post would be judged dead.
Xixia favors martial arts, and warriors have the pride of being warriors. Faced with dying in battle or living in an ignoble way, Xixia warriors will more often choose to die in battle.
It has to be said that at this point, the imperial army of the country is far inferior...because the soldiers have no sense of honor.
In addition to the new troops trained by the escort battalion.
The East Palace Guard Camp knows many ways to protect honor.
For example, now, organizing fifty soldiers to rush in from the main gate is indeed very bloody. However, without exposing the gunpowder bombs, such bloodiness will only increase unnecessary sacrifices.
Therefore, the escort battalion was not prepared to rush in from the beginning.
It should be said that in the early morning of yesterday, the escort battalion had already sneaked into the post house. If there was a real war, the Xixia warriors would have been dealt with by this time. Only because it was a duel, they had to wait until the agreed time to launch.
This move first made all the Xixia warriors confused... After three days of starvation, who would still have the strength to fight on the last day?
So as soon as they saw the food being burned, all the Xixia warriors screamed and rushed to the northwest...
"This is……?"
Not long after the Xixia warriors left the gate of the post house, perhaps before the Xixia warriors reached the food storage area, the soldiers from the guard camp appeared at the gate of the post house and waved to the outside...
Suddenly, the entire crowd of people watching began to cheer, and the cheers could really be described as thunderous.
In the first level of this opening, the soldiers of the Imperial Dynasty have won, at least in terms of momentum.
Wu Zong's chirping shout was calling the Xixia warriors who had left to come back. As for whether the soldiers who were anxious to eat could hear it, it was uncertain.
The soldiers of the guard camp didn't play too much. They grinned a few times and left quickly. It seemed that they didn't take this fight seriously, as if they were just having fun.
But just after the soldiers of the guard camp left, the Xixia warriors came back...
"Hahaha……"
At this time, not only the people watching laughed loudly, but also the husbands and wives sitting in the restaurant smiled... Is this playing hide and seek?
"Guerrilla tactics, this is the guerrilla tactic that His Royal Highness the Prince once mentioned. In someone's opinion, it can even be extended to a strategy."
"I still remember the sixteen words that His Highness the Crown Prince mentioned when Bi was chatting with the Crown Prince: when the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy is stationed, we disturb; when the enemy is tired, we attack; when the enemy retreats, we pursue. The soldiers in the guard camp also deeply understood the essence of this."
It is estimated that Zhao Xi was here at this time and could not remember that he had ever mentioned this to Fu Bi.
Anyway, as the saying goes, Zhao Xi sometimes gets a little carried away when chatting with Fu Bi. This is also due to his trust in Fu Bi's character.
"The prince is martial?"
Yes! As soon as Fu Bi finished speaking, Ouyang Xiu asked like this.
"Uncle Yong, the teachings given to His Highness the Crown Prince have broken away from the pure teaching mode. I have been teaching in the correct format over the years."
"During this period, many affairs of the country will be involved, from people's livelihood to government affairs, from education to armament, all aspects of policy and issues will be completed in various memorials."
"The combination of civil and military affairs, relaxation and righteousness, is the quality of an eternal emperor who revitalized the Song Dynasty. From the performance of His Highness the Crown Prince, he does not obviously favor martial arts, nor does he absolutely worship literature. Instead, he is a combination of both, which makes us happy."
Fu Bi also felt that he had made a mistake and told his husband the content of the conversation that should have been discussed.
But I have to admit that some of His Highness the Crown Prince's ideas have taken root in my mind after so many chats.
For example, his seemingly smooth statement was almost purely the theory of His Highness the Crown Prince.
Perhaps, this kind of scene is what Zhao Xi hopes for most.
"What does this Western Xia warrior mean?"
Thinking about Fu Bi's words, his eyes never left the door of the post house.
"I don't understand, it seems like they are calling their envoy."
"Send someone over to ask..."
What else could be done? The Western Xia warrior stood at the gate at this time and called Wu Zong over to ask if all the Song soldiers had run away...
Fifty Xixia warriors walked around the post house, but in the end not a single Song soldier was seen.
I have seen too many stories of Song soldiers escaping, so I thought that all the Song soldiers who fought with them also escaped.
Obviously not. The entire wall of the post house was guarded by the envoys and soldiers of Xixia and the officials of the post house from the Song Dynasty. They were almost two steps away. Not to mention a person, there was just a mouse that ran out.
, will also be caught.
After cursing cowards and cowards for a while, they had to turn around and go back to search.
When formulating strategies, both parties will try their best to avoid placing orders. Each party wants to form a small-scale formation to fight with more and less.
It is a pity that Duting Xiyi is not a courtyard for each household. In terms of scale, it is a large post house that can accommodate three to five hundred people from the Xixia delegation.
Like the Western Xia warriors, if there are fifty people gathered together, even if they search every house, they won't be able to find them.
Who are the people in the escort battalion? What kind of training have they received? What's more, under the leadership of His Royal Highness, he has used this tactic of stunning the enemy several times.
You search the east wing, we hide in the west wing, you search the backyard, and we hide in the south wing. It’s just the first day anyway, so we’re just running around.
It's not that Cao Lin and the others don't dare to fight the Xixia warriors head-on, it's that they can't.
In terms of personal skills and tactics, the escort battalion is not afraid of Xixia warriors, even the iron kites of Xixia. Without war horses, the escort battalion has a chance of winning.
However, the guard camp had never suffered any casualties in several battles, and Cao Lin did not want to suffer casualties in a duel.
I came prepared and brought enough compressed biscuits, but the Xixia warriors ran out of food on the first day...
On the first day, I started walking around and playing with my legs...
"Back to the Prime Minister, the Western Bandits did not find any soldiers from the guard camp in the post house, so they thought that the soldiers from the guard camp had left..."
The waiters in the restaurant also seemed to despise the Xixia people!
Who are the people in the escort camp? They are the prince's personal troops, how could they escape!
Over the years, the reputation of the guard camp has been quite solid.
"The old tricks are repeated..."
It was so similar that this feeling immediately reminded Fu Bi of the Wanyinshan exercise.
"Why did the rich prime minister say this?"
"Everyone, do you remember the Wanyinshan exercise? At that time, Bi returned to the court to take office, met Xingyang on the road, and was fortunate enough to witness the entire exercise process..."
Listening to Fu Bi's talk about the Wanyinshan exercise, and comparing it with the current post house... there are indeed some similarities, at least fundamentally.
So tonight, the soldiers of the guard camp will attack and kill the Xixia warriors.
That was Wan Yinshan's drill, but now it's a life-or-death fight...
