She Song

Chapter 253
Under the indiscriminate bombardment by the Song army, the morale of the Dangxiang army in Yan'an City dropped significantly. Li Qianshun was heartbroken and realized that the Huben army was very different from the previous Song army.

"Brother Cha, I'm afraid Yan'an City will be lost..."

As a general of the Dangxiang Army, Brother Cha knew that if the army was disorganized, they would only be eaten by the Song Army if they were trapped in the city. Others did not matter, but Li Qianshun was the leader of the Xixia Kingdom and could not make any mistakes.

"Your Majesty, leave the city immediately to join the brigade. I will try my best to delay the Song army in the city!"

"No!" Li Ganshun immediately ordered: "Everyone leave, Yan'an City is gone, as long as you save your life, call back next time!"

At this time, the Tiger Army in the south of the city had begun beating drums to attack the city, and the drum beats seemed to urge them to death.

Brother Cha stopped insisting and blew the retreat horn, and more than [-] party cavalry escorted Li Ganshun to evacuate from the north gate.

Up to this time, the generals of the Western Army had not yet fought against the cavalry on the opposite side, but the Huben Army had actually defeated Yan'an City!
Yao Pingzhong immediately said to Yao Gu: "Uncle, the Western thief has no fighting spirit, take the opportunity to take a bite!"

Yao Gu knew that his nephew was eager to perform meritorious service, so he said: "The cavalry can be given to you, but you must not rush into it greedily for merit, otherwise the military law and family rules will not let you be spared!"

Yao Pingzhong was overjoyed. He had two thousand cavalry in his headquarters, and they were good at riding and shooting. There would be no problem at all in fighting with the wind.

Two thousand Yao's troops immediately galloped towards the north gate of Yan'an in full swing.

The breeder didn't expect that Li Qianshun could only hold on for an hour. This was a good opportunity to beat up the lost dog. He even saw the Yao family joining the battlefield, so he suggested a pursuit.

Zhong Shidao smiled and said: "The children of the Yao family have short eyelids, so the Zhong family just needs to defend their formation."

The grower pinched his nose and said nothing.

Just when Yao Pingzhong was about to rush to Dangxiang's rear army, he planned to bite the opponent's rear army of 2000 or [-] people, but he saw a large number of cavalry in red shirts suddenly appeared from hiding and dug into the center of Dangxiang's people from the right. military.

Amidst Dang Xiangjun's exclamations, the long queue was immediately split into two.

The sudden attack made Li Qianshun and Brother Cha frightened. Where did this Song army come from?
Soon, Brother Cha had judged that the opponent had four to five thousand cavalry, and was equipped with repeated crossbows. Fortunately, he and Li Qianshun were in the front half. Looking at Yao Jiajun's two thousand cavalry approaching quickly, there was no chance to rescue the second half. subordinates.

So he was cruel and escorted Li Qianshun to escape as quickly as possible.

This cavalry did not pursue Li Ganshun either, but methodically used Liannu to kill the Dangxiang cavalry who tried to resist and escape.

Yao Pingzhong sent out two thousand cavalry. Naturally, he would not just watch, but would join the encirclement and suppression queue.

Dangxiang was surrounded by cavalry and had no hope of breaking through, and was abandoned by Li Qianshun. He suffered heavy casualties under the joint siege of the two Song armies and was forced to surrender.

Seeing more than 2000 party cavalrymen dismounting and surrendering obediently, Yao Pingzhong breathed a sigh of relief. He could finally share the victory. He lifted his mask and greeted the red-cloaked leader.

"My lord, Yao Pingzhong, my brother just now fired all his arrows, what a great skill! Can you get [-] points in this battle?"

The general opposite smiled and raised his hand to lift his helmet. His long hair spread out, and it turned out to be Qi Ziyan.

"The cavalry of the Huben Army is in charge of Qi Ziyan, and the battle achievements will be done as General Yao said!"

woman? !
Yao Pingzhong was surprised and couldn't help but look at the other cavalrymen. He was relieved to find that they were all men. Suddenly, he felt that competing with a woman seemed a bit unworthy.

"Forget it, it's all yours!" Yao Pingzhong was about to leave after finishing speaking.

Qi Ziyan smiled and said: "It turns out that the Xijun are all small-minded people..."

After all, Yao Pingzhong is young and has always been highly respected. He was suddenly ridiculed by a woman, and he couldn't save face at the moment.

"Qi Tongzhi, I mean well, it's boring for you to talk like this!"

Qi Ziyan laughed, and said: "You will not be rewarded for no merit, General Yao's kindness, Qi is ashamed of receiving it, and the results of the battle will be divided according to what I said before!"

After saying that, he turned his horse's head and led his men into Yan'an City from the north gate to eliminate the remaining party soldiers.In the evening, Li Qianshun and Cha Ge fled to the junction of the Suide Army and the Jinning Army. Fortunately, the left and right wings brought food and grass, otherwise the two brothers would have been hungry.

After a long time, 1 people were compensated, and he was also the most elite warrior in the party. The more Li Qianshun thought about it, the more distressed he became.

Brother Cha looked at the leaders of the various tribes and took the initiative to take the responsibility on himself.

"Your Majesty, it was Brother Cha's carelessness that caused this defeat! Please punish me severely!"

Li Qianshun waved his hand and said in a hoarse voice: "What matters now? Should we go back to Xingqing Mansion or unite with the Jin Army to defeat the Song Army?"

At this time, the tribal leaders had learned the details of the loss of Yan'an. Faced with the powerful attack power of the Huben army, which was as powerful as chopping melons and vegetables, they could easily think of the example of Yanjing's cannons and crossbows, which easily annihilated 1 people in Zongwang. .

The Tiger and Ben army's fighting style is exactly the same. Even the Jurchen army cannot defeat them, and they are no match for them.

Therefore, half of them advocated returning to Xingqing Mansion, and the other half advocated letting the Jin army attack mainly. They should cooperate and assist, as long as they can find some advantages.

In the end, Brother Cha said: "This matter must be reported to the Lou family in advance, and we will decide based on the situation."

That night, the messenger rushed towards Taiyuan Prefecture, carrying the letter stamped by Li Qianshun with a grimace on his back.

Seeing the letter from the Xixia King, Lou Shi's eyes became sharp.

I originally thought that a Yan Di Zhenguo army would be troublesome enough, but Song Ting actually raised an army of tigers and soldiers!

Such an army must not be allowed to grow, otherwise once the artillery and ballistae are put into battle, the Jurchen cavalry will become a living target!

He wanted to wash away the shame of the destruction of the Yin Shu Ke Corps, and the Huben Army was the best test stone. After he defeated the Song Army, he would go to Yandi to meet the mysterious King of Zhenbei.

Therefore, on the next day, Lou Shi led [-] Jurchen cavalry and [-] subordinate troops to capture Cizhou in only three days, and formed a north-south outflanking situation with Li Qianshun against the Song army.

Lou Shi led [-] troops south to outflank Zhao Kai, and Zhao Kai's military council suddenly became gloomy.

Judging from the number of people, the Song army has a total of [-], and the Jin-Xia coalition army has [-]. Judging from the Jurchens' combat power, this battle will be lost [-]% of the time.

This was also what Zhong Shidao said before attacking Yan'an. The Jurchens would definitely assist Dangxiang. This was indeed the case now. Moreover, Cizhou was located in the southeast of Yan'an, which had the vague intention of cutting off the Song army's retreat.

"Your Highness, the only chance to regain Taiyuan is a decisive battle with the Jurchens. In my opinion, concentrate the superior forces to besiege Lou Shi and strive to annihilate or defeat the opponent!"

Zhong Fu put forward his own opinions.

Zhong Shidao frowned and asked: "Chief of Staff Zhong, do you want to abandon Yan'an and send the entire army south to fight the Jurchens?"

"Exactly!"

"What if we lose?" Master Zhong asked.

Zhong Fu smiled and said: "If you lose, go back and prepare for war until you win!"

Yao Gu chuckled and said with deep meaning: "Chief of Staff Zhong's opinion is very novel, but if our entire army is destroyed in this battle, not only will Taiyuan not be recaptured, but even Yan'an Prefecture will be lost. It is better to wait for reinforcements!

Neither the Jurchens nor the Dangxiang soldiers have the ability to make large catapults or explosive packets. Our army can just use its strengths in defending the city. As long as we persist until reinforcements arrive, the Jin soldiers and Dangxiang soldiers will be defeated without attacking! "

Zhong Fu frowned and couldn't help but said: "What about the people who are under the ravages of the Jurchens?"

No one answered the generals of the Western Army. In this case, the suffering of the people was obvious.

As the old saying goes: In a war, no one will die?
