Like Di Qing, Wang Xin didn't see Su Shi's reinforcements, but that's what he thought.
Only this statement can improve the morale of the army.
Only in this way can everyone exert greater combat power.
For a time, the surrounded Song army on the battlefield knew about the arrival of reinforcements. Facing the attacks of the Liao and Xixia armies, they tenaciously repelled them time and time again, with high morale.
I was so angry about this change that I didn't hide the old news.
Originally, they wanted to use the Liao and Mongolian people to severely damage the Western Army and prepare for Xixia's entry into the Song Dynasty.
But now, Su Shi suddenly appeared, disrupting this plan.
Now, Mengqi went to the north to deal with Su Shi.
The Liao soldiers came to Xincheng to deal with Wang Xin's troops.
In the end, you still have to deal with the Western Army on your own.
"I hope Zhebu will deal with Su Shi soon and come back to help me." He looked to the north and sighed without hiding his old voice.
But in fact, they don't even know how many soldiers and horses Su Shi has brought, so how can they solve it?
Xiao Xiaoyou had a rough guess as to the strength of the troops Su Shi brought.
He had received many urgent letters from China before, which introduced Su Shi's military strength in detail.
"I heard that there are more than 100,000 people, but I just don't know if they have all been brought this time. If they are all brought, then you have to be careful." With this in mind, Xiao Xiaoyou ordered someone to inform him.
When the generals under his command attack Wang Xin's troops, they don't need to be too fierce and focus on preserving their strength.
Unless it is certain that the Mongolian cavalry will win and Su Shi escapes, they must be ready to withdraw from the battlefield at any time.
This is the disadvantage of the three-community alliance. It can never
One heart.
When disaster strikes, they will just fly away.
As long as you grasp this handle and use it a little bit, it may not be impossible to inflict serious damage one by one.
At the foot of Chenghou Mountain.
Before dawn, Tonter arrived here first with five thousand Mongolian cavalry.
Looking up, you can see many figures standing on the mountainside a few meters away. One of them is sitting on a wheelchair, and the person holding a goose feather fan seems to be looming.
"Could that person be Su Shi?" The distance was too far and Tongtel couldn't see clearly.
Chenghou Mountain, with its north peak at an altitude of 1,279 meters, is the highest point.
The terrain of other places varies from high to low. Su Shi was located halfway up the mountain, about 400 meters from the ground. Because of the high position and the fog in the early morning, the view was not very clear.
"Master, swords and arrows have no eyes, otherwise you should retreat further." Lou Yang looked at Su Shi with concern and said with concern.
"It doesn't matter. At a height of 400 meters, it is not a straight line distance. Even if there is a sharp archer among the Mongolian cavalry, it is impossible to reach me. Besides, isn't Bai Xing here?" Su Shi smiled and waved his hand to refuse.
Su Shi is sitting here, not to observe the tactics, but to stimulate the Mongolian army at the foot of the mountain.
If the 110,000 horses in Su Shi's hands really faced off against the 90,000 Mongolian cavalry in an open area, he would most likely be defeated.
But on the contrary, if the Mengqi gave up their advantages of fast speed and good equestrian skills and instead attacked themselves halfway up the mountain, it would be equivalent to constraining themselves and it would be much easier to deal with them.
Su Shi sat where the people below could see him, in order to give him hope.
I'm right here, if I can, I'll kill you.
In this way, if there are self-proclaimed warriors among the Mongolian cavalry, they will not let go of such an opportunity. They will definitely rush towards the mountainside, trying to kill themselves and establish their merits.
In the final analysis, Su Shi appeared just to act as a human target and attract Meng Qi's attention.
"It doesn't matter, I'm here, no one can hurt the young master." Bai Xing also spoke, speaking very confidently.
After all, he is a peerless master, and the distance between us is so far. If a bow and arrow were to hit him, it would already have lost its power, and could be blocked with just one swing of the soft arrow.
"Okay." Lou Yang sighed, he knew that the young master had such a character.
Dare to take risks and have the courage to take risks.
It's better not to say that a rich man can't sit in the hall and a gentleman can't stand under a dangerous wall.
It's useless to say it.
At the foot of the mountain, Tontel could not see clearly, but this did not prevent him from immediately organizing his men to launch an attack.
He couldn't see clearly whether that person was really Su Shi, but what he could see was that halfway up the mountain, there were figures walking around, seeming to be preparing for something, or perhaps because of his sudden appearance, he hit them.
Caught off guard.
The so-called military is expensive and quick.
Tonter would never give the people on the mountain more time to prepare. With a decision in his mind, he ordered the first thousand-man team to leap onto the mountain.
At the foot of Chenghou Mountain, an official road leads to the top of the mountain.
Above the official road, the terrain is not turbulent at first, and there are no dangerous areas. Even a horse can run for more than a hundred meters. Then the terrain becomes vertical. At that time, it will be very laborious to ride on the mountain, and you need to dismount and lead.
The horse walks.
The cavalry was ordered to charge just to save more than 100 meters of foot power.
With an order, one thousand
Meng Qi then jumped on his horse and whipped his whip, heading straight for the mountainside. At the same time, Tontel ordered his scouts to search for other roads up the mountain.
Tontel was more thoughtful than the Xixia people. For example, the Xixia general Liang De was only focused on charging into the mountains and did not care about anything else. But even if he had some ideas, Su Shi had already expected all of this.
The only passable path on the mountain is also guarded by the army, which has long put an end to Meng Qi's desire to sneak up the mountain.
A thousand Mongolian cavalry came on horseback, and the distance of more than 100 meters was only a blink of an eye. Then the terrain did not allow it, and the Mongolian cavalry had to dismount their horses. At this time, the Su family troops who had been ambushing on both sides of the official road,
Then he started shooting arrows.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh...
Arrows suddenly appeared, and Meng Qi, who had just dismounted, was shot into disarray.
In the chaos, people shouted and horses neighed, and it was extremely chaotic. After throwing away more than two hundred corpses, a thousand Mongolian riders finally had to turn around and retreat.
"There are still archers in the forest, and Su Shi is well prepared. He ordered all the shields in the army to be taken out and equipped with them for the second batch of people charging up the mountain." Tongtel frowned and issued a new military order.
.
Less than eight hundred Mongolian cavalry had just retreated, followed by another thousand Mongolian cavalry with shields rushing up the official road.
Attacking without stopping, Tongte wanted to see if Chenghou Mountain was an iron wall and if it was really impossible to attack the mountain.
The cavalry with a thousand shields came up the mountain, but stopped at more than a hundred meters, and then bursts of arrows came, but they wore shields to protect themselves, so there was not much loss.
It wasn't until all the shields were filled with arrows that the sound of gold rang out, and there were still some
The nine hundred Mongolian knights quickly retreated.
"Continuing with the third wave, we want to see how many arrows in Su Shi's hand can be wasted."
When speaking these words, Tontel was full of confidence.
He didn't mean to lead the army halfway up the mountain, but if he could attract enough bows and arrows before the main army arrived, it would be considered a great achievement.
By then, the main force will launch a charge, and there will be much less resistance.
"Hey, I still have this hobby." Su Shi put down the telescope in his hand halfway up the mountain and laughed.
Do you like bows and arrows so much?
Well, the exchange is in the system, but it depends on who can't stand it first.
How did Tongtel know about Su Shi's change of attitude? At this time, he was still complacent about his strategic policy.
Unexpectedly, Su Shi only regarded him as a temporary custodian.
They are still dedicated to keeping arrows. As long as these people are defeated later, these arrows will still be kept and used by Su Shi again.
The third and fourth batch of Mongolian cavalry shield soldiers launched a charge.
Every time, it is considered as "returning with a full load".
But every time, dozens or nearly a hundred corpses of hooded people would be thrown away.
After charging four times in a row, not even a single Su family soldier was injured, and all they got was a lot of arrows.
As soon as the fifth charge was launched, Alatan arrived with thirty-five thousand Mongolian cavalry vanguard troops behind him. What he saw was a thousand-man Mongolian shield team. They were blocked from charging up the mountain and fell into the arrows.
scene.
"What's going on?" Alatan asked aloud, riding on his horse.
"General, the situation is like this..." After Tontel beeped for a while, Alatan knew what had happened.
Regarding Tontel's method, he gave a
Yang, but then said: "This is not enough. A thousand-man team charging can attract as many arrows as possible. The general will come with the main force right away. We must make some achievements before that. In this way, a thousand
Change the number of people to two thousand, let’s try it first.”
When Alatan arrived, the Mongolian cavalry attacking the mountain turned into two thousand shield cavalry at once.
But even so, countless arrows were still fired at them, preventing these Mongolian riders from moving forward.
Whenever any Mongolian knight wants to move forward and rush towards the mountainside, he will become the target of many archers.
After two consecutive attacks, although a lot of arrows were brought back, more than 300 riders were lost.
Looking at this moment, the total losses amounted to nearly a thousand, and Alatan looked unhappy. "Order some people to continue to attack halfway up the mountain, and then order people to enter the mountains and forests to find the Song archers and kill them."
.”
Alatan can't wait any longer. General Jebu will arrive soon. If he still behaves like this at that time, he is afraid that the other party will be dissatisfied.
"General, it's very dangerous to enter the mountain rashly," Tontel warned.
"It doesn't matter, send more people into the mountains. Time waits for us." Alatan didn't know that it would be more dangerous to go through the mountains and forests instead of taking the official road. But now he really can't delay here, otherwise, he will attract Zhebu
If the general is displeased, the vanguard general will probably fall into disgrace.
Alatan's attitude was firm. Tontel was just a 3,000-man captain, and he was a 3,000-man captain who had committed crimes and made meritorious service. What could he say? He had no choice but to agree, and then ordered Mengqi to abandon his horse and go into the forest.
, and slowly groped towards the mountainside.
"Hey, the troops have been divided. Haha, inform Hu Yunfeng's third brigade in the forest and tell them to put the prey in the circle and hunt it to their heart's content." Halfway up the mountain, the fog dissipated and the sun was high. Even without a telescope, you could see the people at the bottom of the mountain.
After taking a rough look at the situation, Su Shi chuckled.
