    Chapter 310 Sanchuan Village [Part 1] "But even so, the damage will be considerable!" Zhao Juan grasped the key point very keenly.  Upon hearing this, the Lord of Kaiping Castle smiled dryly and said helplessly: "There is nothing we can do about it. It is estimated that out of the eight thousand soldiers and horses, more than a thousand were killed in the battle, and more than two thousand were captured.  In addition, many soldiers were unwilling to fight and fled back to their hometowns as scattered soldiers. In the end, only about 2,000 soldiers were gathered, and they only dared to communicate with Sanchuan Village across the river. " Zhao Yan was furious when he heard this.  He smiled and said: "Echoing each other? If you want to respond to each other across a river, are you really treating me as a civil servant who has never fought in a war? Just crossing the river will take at least half an hour, so  Long enough for the Xixia army to retreat calmly? And do these defeated troops still dare to cross the river? The most they can do is contain the Xixia thieves' two or three hundred cavalry!  He smiled and said angrily: "Well the document that was sent said this, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please don't be too obsessed with this small issue!" Zhao Juan also knew the thoughts of these defeated troops.  It¡¯s not just about taking some credit before being held accountable afterwards.  Regardless of whether the punishment can be turned into merit, you have to make up for the merit anyway. When you are punished by the court in the future, your life will be easier!  Shaking his head, Zhao Yan sighed, feeling less sorry for his misfortune and less angry at him.  Is it possible that such a Song army can defeat the Xixia army?  "What happened next?" Zhao Yan asked feebly.  "It is reported that the Xixia thieves have begun to retreat!" The Lord of Kaiping Fort said this with great satisfaction.  Zhao Yan couldn¡¯t help but be startled, what happened to Li Yuanhao?  You actually retreated after winning the battle?  Could it be that during the battle with Yang Baoji, who was patrolling the West Road of the Zhenrong Army, a lot of soldiers and horses were lost?  Zhao Juan did not have much confidence in this possibility.  Seeing the doubtful look on Zhao Jian's face, the Lord of Kaiping Fort said triumphantly: "It's Liu Dujian and the others who have arrived. They have led their troops to pursue them in four directions! In addition to Jingyuan Road Dujian, Sheng  General Wang Gui, the commander of the Czech army, has also arrived with his 3,000 troops. It is estimated that they will arrive at Kaiping Fort tomorrow!" Zhao Juan didn't pay much attention to the words behind the leader of Kaiping Fort, but immediately grasped the key.  "You just said that Liu Jizong came with his troops and divided his troops into four directions to chase Li Yuanhao?" The Lord of Kaiping Fort nodded proudly and said: "Yes! The troops divided into four directions and covered them like a dragnet. This  I'm sure the Xixia thief leader Li Yuanhao knows how powerful I am. Maybe he can catch the Xixia thief leader Li Yuanhao. Haha! That would be the best thing!" Zhao Juan ignored it.  He immediately asked with a nervous look on his face: "How to divide the troops into four groups?" The Lord of Kaiping Fort blinked and said: "I don't know much about this general, but I know that Liu Jizong's capital prison headquarters set out from Chenjiamo. Let's go.  On the front line of Shihe Fort, there is also Wang Bingdu Superintendent, who takes the section from Pengbao to Xiaogou." On the way here, Zhao Juan had already checked the Zhenrong Army's map repeatedly, no less than a hundred times.  .  After hearing what Kaiping Fort Master said, there was no need to take out the map. He made a mental calculation and his expression suddenly changed.  There is a small river called Xiaogou between Chenjiamo and Xiaogou. Even though it is a small river, it is already winter.  The weather is cold.  If a soldier wades across a river.  I can't hold the weapon even if my whole body feels cold.  This was the situation after crossing the river. Due to the cold on the way across the river, the soldiers' feet were frozen, and they probably wouldn't get there soon.  And the distance between the two places is not that close, a full twenty-seven miles away.  That's it for cavalry. If it's infantry, it will take an hour to arrive even if it's a quick march.  And the Xixia Army is best at fighting quick battles. Whether it was the battle that captured Jinming Village and opened the gate to Yanzhou, or the Battle of Haoshuichuan that cost the Northern Song Dynasty tens of thousands of elite border troops, it didn't last long!  Jinmingzhai fell in one day, and the Song army was defeated on the first day of the Battle of Haoshuichuan, and retreated to a nearby hill to defend it.  The next day, the Xixia army changed its tactics of attacking in the east and attacking in the west. They attacked the Song army from behind with strong troops.  Even the Battle of Sanchuan Village that broke out not long ago did not last long. This was a war involving nearly 20,000 people.  The Zhenrong Army, which led about 8,000 Song soldiers, inspected Yang Baoji on the West Road for one day, but was defeated by the Xixia Army, and he himself died in the battle.  Although this hour's journey is compact, with the Xixia Army's ability to fight quickly, who dares to say that when the Xixia Army concentrates its forces to attack all the way, it is impossible to defeat the Song Army within an hour?  After dealing with the Song army, although the Xixia army was tired, the Tibetan people had stronger endurance than the Song people, and the Song army's hands and feet were numb from the cold after wading across the river.  In this case?The strength is not necessarily better than that of the exhausted Xixia army. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Now that the two groups are left, do we still need to be afraid?  As soon as he thought of this, Zhao Yan knew something was wrong!  There is no time to explain the powerful relationship to the Lord of Kaiping Fort. Time is now like a lit match, and the other end of the match is a pile of gunpowder barrels.  Even one second could change this tragedy.  "Your Majesty!" The Lord of Kaiping Fort looked at Zhao Jian who turned around and left without saying a word, his face full of astonishment.  Fearing that he had done something wrong somewhere, the patron of Kaiping Fort lost his sense of etiquette and wanted to reach out and pull Zhao Juan's sleeve.  What he pulled was a ball of air, and Zhao Juan rushed out of the hall like a gust of wind.  Zhao Yingwu had already gone to bed, and now the only ones left beside Zhao Xun were Zhao Xun, who was trying to stay asleep, and two soldiers from the Wei Army.  "Prince? What's wrong?" Zhao Xun didn't pay attention to the conversation in the living room. He sat on a stone bench in the yard outside the living room, while two soldiers from the Wei Army stood aside.  "Something big has happened! Blow the horn immediately!" Zhao Juan said almost roaring.  Although Zhao Xun was extremely curious about what happened, he knew that what he needed most now was to blow the horn immediately instead of asking the questions in his heart.  Zhao Xun pulled out the horn from his waist without saying a word.  "Toot! Toot! Toot!" The loud brass horn sounded in the sky above Kaiping Fort, and soon the sound of metal horns also sounded in several other places.  This was what the sentry on guard heard and blew accordingly to ensure that all the soldiers could hear the trumpet sound.  "Gather! Gather! You bastards, get up!" "Get up! Get up! It takes a cup of tea to gather together, and one pass can't get you twenty whips! Two passes can't get you twenty military sticks! Three passes can't kill you!"  The shouts came one after another, and Kaiping Fort was like a pot of boiling hot oil with a ladle of cold water poured on it. With a "bah" sound, it suddenly started to boil fiercely.  "Your Majesty! What's going on? But the General's reception is not good?" At this moment, the Lord of Kaiping Castle had also chased him out of the living room, looking at Zhao Yan nervously, fearing that he might hear something from Zhao Yan's mouth  A word of dissatisfaction.  Zhao Juan showed a slightly apologetic smile to the Lord of Kaiping Castle and said: "Master, you're welcome, it's me who discovered the problem and needs to rush to the battlefield!" The Lord of Kaiping Castle was not an idiot, so he asked: "Your Majesty, this is the Sanchuan Village.  Where?" Zhao Juan thought for a while, without hiding anything, and nodded: "Yes! I feel that the Xixia Army's retreat this time is definitely not because of fear of Liu Jizong's 10,000-strong army, but because Liu Jizong actually retreated!  Dividing the troops into four groups, isn't this equivalent to fighting with your opponent with your five fingers exposed? "Do you think you can win this way?" The Lord of Kaiping Castle was dubious and persuaded: "My lord, this may be your guess."  Is that wrong? And if everything goes well with Liu Dujian if you go there in such a hurry, you may make Liu Dujian think that the prince despises him! " Although the words of Lord Kaiping were very negative, they were all for Zhao Juan's good!  of.  The implication is that if you go, you may be resented by others, but if you don't go, nothing will happen, and no one will blame Zhao Juan for this.  At this time, Zhao Xun couldn't help but interjected: "Your Majesty, what big thing happened? Your Majesty, will you order the summoning horn to be blown?" Generally, the summoning horn is blown when the rest time has come, but the rest time has not yet come and the horn is blown.  That must mean something big happened to make Zhao Juan issue this order!  "Go and bring my king's Queyue Wuzui horse over!" Zhao Xun answered Zhao Xun's question after assigning a soldier from the Wei army to do the work.  "It's Sanchuan Village! Yang Baoji, who was patrolling the west route of the Zhenrong Army, was defeated in Sanchuan Village, and he was captured by the Xixia Army. Liu Jizong arrived with an army of 10,000, but Li Yuanhao did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, but led his men to retreat."  "Isn't this good?" Zhao Xun asked puzzledly.  Zhao Juan looked furious and said angrily: "Very good? Do you think that with Li Yuanhao's ambition, he would be willing to retreat like this? There must be a trick in this! What's even more infuriating is that the idiot Liu Jizong actually  For some unknown reason, the troops were divided into four groups to pursue Li Yuanhao. Does this idiot really think that Li Yuanhao can be dealt with even if the whole army is gathered together, let alone the troops are divided into four groups? " Zhao Xun heard this.  His face froze, a little sad.  He had introduced Liu Jizong to Zhao Zhou before, but he didn't expect that he would leave such an impression in Zhao Zhou's heart at this moment.  Noting Zhao Xun¡¯s expression at this moment, Zhao Xun was also a little apologetic. He didn¡¯t seem to care about Zhao Xun¡¯s mood.  Deliberately changed the topic and said:"Okay, don't talk about this. Dalang, you should go and get ready for battle immediately! I'm going to see how the soldiers are gathering!" After that, Zhao Juan walked out.  The Lord of Kaiping Fort sighed helplessly, looked up at the sky that had turned gloomy at some point, and murmured: "Is the Song Army going to be defeated again?"
