On the other side of the tent, seeing how restless Wu Zangguyin was, General Ren Degao, who was sitting here, stood up. "General, there is no need to be angry. They are nearly a hundred thousand Mongolian riders, so they will not suffer any loss."
Yes, the good news must be coming back soon."
Ren Degao was the general of Xixia's 70,000 reinforcements. His mission this time was to severely damage the Song Dynasty's Western Army who was aiding the North. Of course, it would be best if they could all be wiped out.
I thought that since they had the upper hand and had the advantage in military strength, they would be able to defeat Di Qing's 100,000-strong army this time and reduce the military pressure faced by Xixia. However, unexpectedly, accidents occurred frequently, and now even the commander-in-chief of the army was unable to do so.
It was too late to hide the old news, so he stood up and reminded me.
"What do you know? Zhebu and Xiao Xiaoyou have said before that this Su Shi is extremely difficult to deal with. Not long ago, I sent an army of 20,000 to sneak attack Su Shi. Not only did I not achieve any results, but I still lost troops and generals. Such an opponent,
It is very necessary to be cautious.”
He was in a bad mood and did not hide the old news, which did not make Ren Degao look good.
Speaking of which, the Wu Zang clan has considerable influence in Xixia. It is the mother clan of Liang Wang Ning Lingge and belongs to the top dignitaries of Xixia.
In comparison, Ren Degao was nothing more than a general with some military ability, and the two identities could not be compared at all.
Ren Degao's face turned red after being scolded, he looked at Wu Zangguyin, and said the word "you" with annoyance on his face.
He didn't say the next words, because he probably knew that the identities of the two were very different, and he couldn't threaten the other. On the contrary, it was very likely that the other would deal with him in anger.
"Okay, General Ren, go back and have a good rest. I'm afraid there will be another fierce battle tomorrow." He didn't look at Ren Degao at all, or in other words, he didn't pay attention to him at all. He didn't hide his old news and just waved
He waved his hand, as if asking him to leave the tent.
Ren Degao left with a dissatisfied look on his face, but there was nothing he could do. He didn't hide the old news behind him, and the tent was still a little restless.
He murmured to himself from time to time, "It shouldn't be. One day has passed, no matter what the outcome of the battle is, there is no reason that our scouts don't even have a chance to enter the battlefield."
It’s not that I can’t figure it out, I just have a vague intuition that things don’t seem to be good.
But even if they killed him, they wouldn't have thought that in one day, 90,000 Mongolian cavalry were severely damaged by Su Shi by burning the mountains and forests, and they had already retreated to the northern Mongolian land.
This is the time difference Su Shi needs.
When a new day was about to begin and the sky was already dark, the Su family's army had already had breakfast. A famous soldier mounted a war horse and was fully prepared for a battle at any time.
With the takeout system, there are so many different aspects of food in the system.
The most awesome thing is that you can order many portions at once. You only need to enter a number with your mind after the food you need. As long as you have enough faith points, the food can be prepared instantly and appear anywhere within 20 kilometers around Su Shi.
place.
How powerful is an army that does not need to worry about logistics at all. Even a modern army has adopted a fully automated method in logistics and transportation, but it still requires time and ingredients to cook. With Su Shi's system capabilities
compared to, worse
It's not even half a star.
In the morning, the soldiers ate soy milk, tofu curd, fresh milk, rice porridge, fried dough sticks, steamed buns, meatloaf, eggs and various pickles.
If the tube is enough, the tube is full, and it will still be steaming hot when it appears.
For today's Song soldiers, it is not an exaggeration to say that this kind of food is a delicacy.
It's just a breakfast.
Normally these people would just gnaw on rice balls and get away with it. Now that they can have such a rich breakfast, every soldier's face is full of happiness and satisfaction.
After eating and resting, each one gained strength and got on the horse in high spirits. They polished the weapons in their hands and headed straight towards Xincheng, one after another.
As soon as the fog cleared in the early morning, Wang Deyong also climbed onto the tower.
As the night passed, he was eager to know how the battle was going outside. This not only related to the victory of the northern battle, but also related to his own wealth and life.
Not long after we climbed up to the tower, we saw a large number of cavalry coming from the northwest direction of Chenghou Mountain. Their numbers were numerous and numerous.
"What is that? Is it Meng Qi?"
As soon as he saw the cavalry coming from a distance, Wang De's eyes froze. Because of his nervousness, even his breathing became weaker at this moment.
He was worried that those who came were really Mongolian cavalry, he was worried that these cavalry would attack the city, and he was worried that his life would be in danger.
He had seen a large number of Mongolian cavalry heading north from the Xincheng side, but because the city had been closed for many days, he knew nothing about what was going on outside, so he did not know about Su Shi's coming to help.
Now seeing a large number of cavalry coming from far away and heading south, what he was thinking about was that Meng Qi had returned and would they pass by the city?
By the way, how about attacking oneself with the Liao army?
Fortunately, those cavalrymen had no intention of approaching the city and were just passing by from a distance. And because the distance was too far, it was impossible to see clearly their military uniforms, armor, and what flags they were flying.
If Wang Deyong once knew that the troops coming were not Mengqi but the reinforcements of the Song Dynasty led by Su Shi, and saw that the enemy was passing by the city but did not enter, he might have to scold Su Shi at least a few words.
Of course, Su Shi would definitely not care.
Wang Deyong didn't know the details of the cavalry in the distance, but the Liao soldiers knew it.
As soon as it was bright and Su Shi's army appeared from the north, the news could no longer be concealed. The Liao soldiers dispatched sent the news back to Xiao Xiaoyou's ears in the city with panic on their faces.
When he learned that Meng Qi had disappeared and that Su Shi's army was coming from the north, Xiao Xiaoyou immediately ordered the entire army to be on alert. Even at this moment, he was prepared to abandon the military operation to besiege Xincheng if it was no longer possible.
Although Xiao Xiaoyou didn't know what happened at the foot of Chenghou Mountain, 90,000 Mongolian cavalry disappeared in just one day. With this fighting power, he could not overestimate how much he valued Su Shi.
The whole army was on alert, ready to retreat and join forces with the Xixia army at any time. The Su army continued southward under their noses, feeling as though they were nothing.
"General, the Su family's army has gone south and has no intention of fighting with us." Li Dechang, the general of the Liao army, came to Xiao Xiaoyou and said with a lingering fear.
"Okay, okay." Xiao Xiaoyou finally relaxed and let out a breath.
"General, it seems that the target of the Su family army is Xixia, then do you want me to
They sent people to follow them, looking for an opportunity to attack from both sides, so..."
Li Dechang wanted to say something more, but Xiao Xiaoyou didn't wait for him to finish, and shook his head directly and said: "No. Now we don't know whether the ninety thousand Mongolian knights are alive or dead. Before we understand the whole story, we will continue to surround Xincheng.
good."
Why continue to surround Xincheng? This is just an excuse.
The most direct thought in Xiao Xiaoyou's heart was that he did not want to be an enemy of Su Shi.
As for Su Shi now looking for trouble with the Xixia Army?
Just go.
As long as they don't cause trouble for their Liao army, it will be fine. Originally, their so-called alliance with Xixia was just a temporary measure. Even if there was a chance to weaken the Xixia army, this was something Xiao Xiaoyou was eager to do.
It is said that the Liao soldiers did not stop them, and the Su army was able to move south smoothly, heading straight towards the Xixia army that surrounded 90,000 Western troops. When the Xixia scout learned the news and reported it to Wu Zangguyin, the Xixia general said:
Swearing loudly.
"What does Meng Qi do for food?"
"What are the Liao troops doing again?"
"We haven't won yet, so are you thinking about weakening our Xixia army?"
"These short-sighted guys are too short-sighted to make plans."
After cursing for a while and getting a little angry, he had no choice but to send troops to intercept the appearance of the Su family's army.
"General Ren De, please immediately lead troops to intercept the Su family's army and prevent them from approaching us. General Liang De, I will give you three days. Within three days, you must severely damage the besieged Western Army of the Song Dynasty. If this is not possible, you can consider letting go."
Open an opening to let them leave. But remember, you must make sure to hit them hard before letting them go.
If we leave, we must not let them still have the strength to fight, otherwise the Western Army will merge with the Su Army and we will be in danger."
After making successive arrangements, Wu Zangguyin sent people to the foot of Xincheng to urge Xiao Xiaoyou to send troops.
At the same time, there were countless scouts going to the foot of Chenghou Mountain. He was very curious and needed to know where the 90,000 Mengqi had gone. How could they disappear after one day? This was too strange.
After Ren De reported the military order, he led his 70,000 Xixia cavalry to the outskirts, and soon fought with the Su family's army who charged here. The two sides fought fiercely thirty miles west of Xincheng.
After Liang De received the military order, he intensified his efforts to besiege the 90,000 Song Dynasty Western Army. He originally charged once every two hours to once every half an hour.
This turned the battlefield into a meat grinder. The two sides fought frequently in a space that was not very wide, resulting in heavy casualties.
To be precise, the Western Army no longer has 90,000 men.
After dozens of defensive battles, Di Qing only had about 70,000 men left, and many of them were injured.
And these are not the most important things. The most important thing is that Di Qing has no food in his hands. Since this morning, they have eaten all the remaining food on their bodies, and now they can only rely on drinking water to satisfy their hunger.
If people don't have enough to eat, they won't have strength, and it will be difficult for them to show their original strength when fighting. Otherwise, Liang De's troops will not be able to trap them at all.
Di Qing faced great difficulties, so Liang De did not.
Originally, there were more than 200,000 troops surrounding Di Qing's troops. It can be said that the troops and horses were strong and their morale was high.
However, as the Mengqi, Liao troops, Ren Degao and others left one after another, there were only about 70,000 soldiers and horses available to Liang De at his disposal.
