Chapter 310 Sanchuan Village [Part 2] Although the Xixia Army is divided into two parts, even if the Xixia Army of nearly ten thousand people is divided into two parts, one of them will be larger than the Song Army. What's more, Wang Bing gave up sticking to Xiaogou Village and instead thought about finding opportunities to cross Xiaogou. Li Yuanhao saw Wang Bing's intention at a glance. Li Yuanhao was very smart and did not choose to fight head-on. Instead, he ordered the Xixia army to be divided into two groups and constantly harassed the Song army with bows and arrows. Although the Song Army's crossbows were powerful, the Xixia Army was riding on horseback, galloping like the wind. Nine times out of ten, the Song Army's crossbows would miss, even if they hit. But there is an embarrassing thing. The armor of the Xixia army is actually harder than the armor of the Song army. The arrows can only hurt but not kill. Moreover, the soldiers of the Song Army below did not do what Wang Bing commanded, they did what they did. Who can accept being beaten without being able to fight back? Therefore, during the Xixia Army's cavalry and shooting, the Song Army's formation gradually became scattered. Many soldiers were attracted by the Xixia Army and rushed out of a certain distance, trying to shorten the distance to greater damage to the Xixia Army. Seeing that the time was almost up, Li Yuanhao waved his hand with a sneer on his lips. The Xixia army's infantry attacked, everyone wearing heavy armor, while the cavalry attacked on the other side. It's like a man holding a shield in one hand and a sharp spear in the other. The Song army did not last long and was defeated by the Xixia army. Fortunately, Liu Jizong also arrived at this time. Liu Jizong had three thousand men and horses under his command. It was just a small ditch, but at this moment, Song Jun felt as if he was so far away. Without Xiao Gou, they could have completely defeated the Xixia Army if they charged from behind. Seeing Liu Jizong's arrival, Li Yuanhao's eyes flashed with amusement, and he winked at the flag commander beside him. The Xixia Army's offensive immediately slowed down. And at the same time. Because he saw Liu Jizong coming. The soldiers of the Song Army who were in a state of collapse also cheered up and immediately reorganized their formation. In a strange atmosphere, the Xixia army was beaten by the Song army and slowly retreated. Liu Jizong was immediately overjoyed! Xiao Gou had no choice before, but now as long as Wang Bing's Song army involves Li Yuanhao, he can fight out from behind. Isn¡¯t this a great achievement? I can¡¯t expect to be granted the title of marquis or prime minister, but I can¡¯t help but be a military commander along the way! The more Liu Jizong thought about it, the more excited he became, and he immediately ordered: "Wade across the river with all your strength!" The deputy general said: "Du Jian. Although it is autumn now, it is already late autumn. The river water is ice cold. After the soldiers crossed the river, they were afraid of being too cold. It's better to have people cut down trees and build a pontoon nearby! This ditch is so big, it won't take long!" Liu Jizong said with a cold look, "Isn't that right? , but if you have read the book of war, you must know that soldiers are very fast! How many soldiers have been defeated in blood-stained battlefields throughout the ages? Isn't it because they failed to seize the opportunity quickly? If it weren't for Yuan Shaoqian's fear. The wolf queen is afraid of the tiger, so how can Cao Cao have a chance to defeat the strong? Today is a good time to defeat Xixia! I am afraid that the Xixia thieves have already prepared it! He said, go down immediately and urge the soldiers to cross Xiaogou quickly!" Seeing that Liu Jizong did not listen to his words, the deputy general had no choice but to nod in agreement. At this time, the Song army was very noisy, and many soldiers were unwilling to wade across the river like this. People who have never been in the water in late autumn have no idea how cold the water is at this time. It can be said that after people go down, their nails will turn purple when they come up. In order to seize the time, Liu Jizong also ordered his tooth soldiers, that is, personal soldiers to drive them away with sticks. Once a procrastinating soldier appeared, he would immediately add sticks to them. The soldier he beat fell to the ground and could only scream and roll. Under high pressure, the soldiers of the Song Army had to wade across the river even though they were dissatisfied in every way. When all the soldiers of the Song Army were almost crossing the river, the beard on Li Yuanhao's face stretched out. "Attack!" was ordered. It had not been long since they had just crossed the river, and before the formation had been organized, many soldiers were so cold that their spears were shaking. A thousand Xixia Army cavalry were like sharp swords shot out, piercing directly into Liu Jizong's troops of the Song Army. Liu Jizong didn't expect the Xixia Army to react so quickly. Wasn't it the case that Wang Bing's troops were able to regain the disadvantage before? But he couldn't help but think too much, the Xixia army was already rushing towards them. Although the Xixia Army is small in number, the combat effectiveness of the cavalry is several levels higher than that of the infantry. If infantry has to deal with cavalry, there are only two things it can rely on, terrain or formation. There is no need to think about the former. The area around Xiaogou is a plain area, flat and without mountains. In another formation, the soldiers had just waded through Xiaogou. Everyone was so cold that their teeth were chattering, and the formation was slow and slow. Although Liu Jizong saw it in his eyes, he could only be anxious in his heart. Liu Jizong can be the governor, even if it is useless, he will not really be like Zhao Kuo, who can only talk on paper. There is nothing wrong with using strict military laws, but it also depends on the situation. Liu Jizong had just made the soldiers wade across Xiaogou under high pressure. Now if he uses military law to force the soldiers again, they might mutiny. This is also a system created by the Song Dynasty. The generals do not know the soldiers, and the soldiers do not know the generals. Although Liu Jizong is the governor of the capital, he is not in charge of the training of soldiers in peacetime. He can only come into contact with most of the soldiers during battles and dispatching troops. Under the attack of the Xixia cavalry, Liu Jizong's tribe had quickly? was cut into several large pieces, and the following Xixia troops immediately swarmed in. Liu Jizong had no choice but to cut off the tail of the gecko and ordered some soldiers to be abandoned. The other soldiers retreated across Xiaogou again. Wang Bing was not stupid. Liu Jizong ordered the retreat, and he had already led his troops to retreat through the water. How could Li Yuanhao be willing to let the fat in front of him just go away? "Chase!" Li Yuanhao ordered decisively, pointing the whip, and thousands of troops followed. The soldiers of the Xixia Army yelled excitedly and roared out language full of barbarism. The cavalry took the lead in entering the water, trampling the blood-stained Xiaogou into a muddy river. But today God seems to think that Liu Jizong and Wang Bing are too unlucky, and needs to add something about these two guys. When Li Yuanhao was crossing the river, one hoof of his war horse got stuck in the mud. His body was unbalanced and he neighed and fell onto his side into the river. How could Li Yuanhao think that extreme joy can lead to sorrow? All his thoughts were focused on how to pursue the Song army and plot against the enemy. Although Li Yuanhao's riding and martial arts skills were also good, how could he react when he was caught off guard? Immediately, he followed the war horse into the cold ditch and took a few sips of the turbid river water. The nearby Xixia Tieyao soldiers were shocked and quickly dismounted from their horses to rescue Li Yuanhao. Cold river water. Plus I choked on a few mouthfuls of murky river water. Li Yuanhao fell into a semi-conscious state. The soldiers called a few times, but they just muttered a few vague words. When the generals who came nearby saw this situation, they were shocked. How could they still have the intention to pursue the Song army? Immediately, he ordered the troops to retreat. Not long after Ming Jin retreated his troops, Li Yuanhao spit out a few mouthfuls of river water and he woke up. Xixia fierce general Ye Li Wangrong interrupted at this time: "Your Majesty, do you want to order the pursuit of the Song army again? It's still too late to pursue them now!" Although Li Yuanhao had just woken up. But San Yanwu already knew what happened during his brief coma. After thinking about it, a look of helplessness appeared on his pale face, and he said: "This is probably God's will. There is no need to pursue it anymore! As a general, the most taboo thing is to change the order at dawn and at night. We just ordered the troops to retreat, and if we let the soldiers go to fight now, it will be chaos." Military spirit! And those Song dogs are already dead dogs, so there is nothing to fear!" "Okay!" Yeli Wangrong said with regret. "No need to be sorry! Aren't there still two groups of Song troops?" Li Yuanhao's pale face showed a ruthless look. Ye Li Wangrong was in high spirits when he came on board. That¡¯s right! The Song army was divided into four groups! At that time, Li Wangrong took the lead in asking for a fight. "Your Majesty, please let the general send troops!" Li Yuanhao thought for a while. He nodded and said: "If you lead our troops, I will give you another two thousand troops, and you will go and deal with Li Wei's troops!" After a pause, Li Yuanhao shouted in a weak voice: "Lang Yu! Where is my brother Lang Yu? "General Lang Yu just led his troops to pursue him. He hasn't come back yet. I'll send someone to inform him!" Li Yuanhao's confidants reported in a low voice. "Call him immediately!" Li Yuanhao said. Yeli Wangrong glanced at the departing appreciator and said, "Your Majesty, if nothing happens, I will lead the troops to fight those Song dogs!" "Well, go ahead! Although the Song dogs are weak, they are A rabbit can bite off a piece of meat from the most ferocious wolf if it is provoked!" Li Yuanhao said weakly, squinting his eyes and pulling the felt wrapped around him. "Your Majesty, you can rest assured!" Yeli Wangrong promised, then turned around and left. After Ye Li Wangrong left, Zhang Yuan patted the dust on Li Yuanhao's felt and lowered his voice and said: "Your Majesty, if you want to make Daxia stronger, you must pay more attention to etiquette! Once the Duke of Zhou established Zhou Li in the Western Zhou Dynasty, the world returned to its heart! Li is the gift of ceremony. A model for a country, but King Yeli Wangrong is too casual. How can you establish your lofty status?" Li Yuanhao waved his hands and said disapprovingly: "It's just a small detail. I remember that your husband said that it can become a big thing? He doesn't stick to trivial matters." Zhang Yuan did not refute, but nodded calmly. Although he had just followed Li Yuanhao, Zhang Yuan knew some of Li Yuanhao's little moves. Despite the disapproving look on Li Yuanhao's face just now, in fact, when Li Yuanhao listened to Zhang Yuan's words, he opened his breathing mouth slightly and pressed it tightly, and the nearby muscles tightened. Although this movement soon disappeared, and the mouth opened slightly again. Maybe Li Yuanhao didn't feel it, but Zhang Yuan knew that this was one of the characteristics of Li Yuanhao's inner annoyance. There is no doubt that Li Yuanhao is not as magnanimous towards Ye Li Wangrong as he said. Not long after, Li Yuanhao's younger brother, Wei Minglangyu, arrived. "Brother! Are you okay?" Wei Minglangyu came over nervously, with sweat on his face. "Don't worry, it's just a small problem! You bring your troops now, and I will give you another two thousand troops. You go and deal with the Song dogs led by Han Tiemu!" Li Yuanhao saw Wei Minglangyu, I couldn't help but feel warm in my heart, but the business was important, and it was an order as soon as I opened my mouth. Wei Minglangyu immediately raised his fists and saluted, and said proudly: "Yes! Brother, I will kill this Song dog right now!" Zhang Yuan nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Your Majesty's move is a great benefit to the country!" Li Yuanhao listened. , showed a meaningful smile, and said nothing. If we look at the most capable generals in Xixia at present, they are none other than Yeli Wangrong and Yeli Yuqi. From their names, it can be seen that the two of them are most likely related to each other.They are not only relatives, but also brothers. He is the brother of Li Yuanhao's first wife, Yeli. Moreover, the status of the two men was very high. Xixia was divided into three parts, namely Su Weijun and left and right compartments. Originally, the left and right compartments were controlled by Li Yuanhao's uncles Shan Yu Weiliang and Shan Yu Weiyong respectively. However, in the year when Li Yuanhao proclaimed himself emperor, Shan Yuweiliang believed that Xixia was just a tiny place, and that if he proclaimed himself emperor and rebelled against the Song Dynasty, it would be self-destruction. So he took his family and confidants and fled to Yanzhou in the Song Dynasty. Unfortunately, Guo Quan, the magistrate of Yanzhou at the time, was afraid of Li Yuanhao's revenge. In addition, he thought that Shan Yu Weiliang might be a trickster, so he gave Shan Yu Weiliang to the man who led the troops to pursue him. Li Yuanhao. This also caused the Song Dynasty to lose a general who had great prestige in Xixia and was familiar with the situation. It also made Xixia's nobles and ministers who were central to the Song Dynasty afraid to join the Song Dynasty. Although Li Yuanhao turned danger into good fortune in this matter, he no longer trusted Shan Yu Weiliang's younger brother, Shan Yu Weiyong. Instead, he appointed his brothers-in-law, Yeli Wangrong and Yeli Yuqi, to serve as the commanders of the left and right wing respectively. Now the power of the Yeli family in Xixia can be said to be overwhelming. Logically speaking, it would be most appropriate to separate two partial divisions and let the two brothers Yeli Wangrong and Yeli Yuqi lead them. However, Li Yuanhao did not do this. Instead, he used his younger brother Wei Minglangyu as the commander-in-chief, in order to help Weiming Langyu establish a kinship. More importantly, the Song army that Wei Minglang encountered was composed of Tibetan soldiers. It did not have high recognition of the Song Dynasty and was the easiest to deal with. These Tibetan soldiers can fight with the wind, but they can't fight against the wind. Zhang Yuan walked out of the tent and stretched outside. The voice of Wu Hao, a friend who also came to join Li Yuanhao, sounded nearby. "Zi Shi, I suddenly feel that Xixia is impossible!" Zhang Yuan glanced sideways at Wu Hao who was standing behind him. When he saw Wu Hao's thin cheeks and gloomy eyes, Zhang Yuan felt a little complicated in his heart. Feelings. Since entering Xixia, Wu Hao has gradually become depressed from being complacent, even though he is as close to Li Yuanhao as Zhang Yuan. It's just that Wu Hao didn't know whether he was hiding his talents intentionally or because he was exhausted. He offered less and less suggestions to Li Yuanhao, and many of them became useless. Although Li Yuanhao didn't say anything on the surface, his trust in Wu Hao was also decreasing day by day. "Is it because of Ye Li Wangrong?" Zhang Yuan turned around, looked at his friend, and said slowly. (To be continued)
