Chapter Five Hundred and Twenty-Five The Means of Weiming Clan
Outside Xingping City and in front of Liujing Fort, the soldiers of the Zhenrong Army formed a powerful defensive formation, with spears like a forest and huge shields like a wall, slowly advancing amidst the sound of high-pitched war drums.
A team of more than 10,000 people spread out here and occupied most of the land, but opposite them were sparse party cavalry.
Ten thousand people versus five thousand people. Although he had a numerical advantage, Cao Yi did not dare to advance. Five thousand party members and cavalry were a force that should not be underestimated, and could cover almost half of the northwest.
Even if they can withstand their attack, it is impossible for the Song army to annihilate them.
This was not an ambush, but an encounter. Cao Yi was certain that these party members came well prepared and came to delay him from the beginning.
The five thousand Dangxiang cavalry came and went like the wind, forcing them to form formations and advance slowly. Being able to march five miles a day was considered good. As long as the army was faster and the army's formation was slack, it would definitely be attacked by Dangxiang.
A human attack is like a hungry wolf that suddenly bursts out to bite a giant beast.
Although the tens of thousands of Zhenrong troops were very powerful, they were only so powerful to withstand the active charge of the Dangxiang people. Cao Yi did not even dare to let the cavalry in the army stay too far away from the army, for fear that they would be eaten by the Dangxiang people.
After seeing those Dangxiang cavalry who came and went like the wind and were skilled with bows and horses, Cao Yi completely lost the courage to use cavalry against cavalry. Compared with the Dangxiang cavalry, the cavalry of the Song Dynasty were simply a group of infantry.
No wonder Cao used this dignified privy envoy to say, "Although the cavalry of the state and dynasty have horses, they are all the same as the soldiers. They cannot rotate when going in and out. The bows and horses are not as good as those of the barbarians, so they cannot be used to break attacks!"
He also received the news of the siege of Qingping Pass, but Cao Yi felt that with Zhou Wenzhi's thousands of Dingbian troops on the side, the siege of Qingping Pass could be solved. All he had to do was to avoid being overrun by these five thousand party members.
The array will be good.
The strength of the Dangxiang people lies in their ability to charge into formations. Not only are they superb in riding skills, but they also have the courage to risk their lives. Once they charge into a formation, their seemingly scattered formations can become the sharpest knives. As long as you are not careful, you will be
It will be "disemboweled" at lightning speed.
As long as one attack is successful, the party members will continue to attack, killing the Chinese army and causing trouble in the entire army until the enemy army is defeated, and then the most ruthless harvest will follow.
On the contrary, as long as the military formation is not broken, Cao Yi has the confidence to defend the army. Although the Suppressing Rong Army is not as good as the Anhua Army trained by Ye An, at least he can execute orders and prohibitions under his own training. This is already the best method in running the army.
One of them.
Like a bird returning to the forest, the party's cavalry kept lingering around the Zhenrong army. There were many tentative attacks, but they were all resolved by the tight military formation.
"Weiming Boshan said that he has tried his best. Can the king forgive his sin?"
Wei Mingshan, who was dressed in a ge robe, looked at the silent Li Deming in fear. He didn't know the fate of his brother, but he knew that the man in front of him could decide his life and death.
"Guilty? How could he be guilty?! My brother, get up from the ground quickly. I never think that a person who can provoke the Xiqiang people and the Song people to such an extent is a mediocre person, let alone that he is guilty!"
After listening to Li Deming's words, Wei Mingshan Yu just let out a breath, but was held back by his next words.
Li Deming looked at Wei Mingshan Yu seriously, smiled and said: "I am just curious, is that young prince of the Song Dynasty really as powerful as he said? What he said sounds like fantasy, and it is quite interesting.
Shirking the responsibility!"
Hearing that it was about Ye An, Wei Mingshan Yu was relieved and said to Li Deming quite solemnly: "Your Majesty, please don't underestimate this boy. Although he is not as good as Wen Guan, his depth of mind is staggering.
I have lured the enemy several times and defrauded them from Pingyuan Village. They have many tricks and strategies, and their unique vision is such that even people like Boshan are afraid of them. There are also many strange things to help, which are hard to guard against!"
Li Deming knew about Wei Mingshan Yu, looked at his serious look and frowned: "Xiqiang people often hear that he is the demon general of Asura and the broken army of Song Dynasty. I wonder if this is the case?"
Wei Mingshanyu nodded slightly and said: "Boshan's attendants came over and brought his message early. He said that although the young marquis was a civil servant, he could lead troops to charge and get into battle, and he was quite capable of a hundred battles.
Momentum, knowing that Baima Xuri is the young master of the Baima tribe, he raised his sword and beheaded him without any hesitation. Bo Shan said that if this son reaches the age of 30 and if he visits the northwest again, he will definitely be the leader of our party.
This disaster must be eliminated!"
Li Deming nodded slightly. Not only Wei Mingjia's people knew about this news, but he also knew it. But it was because he knew the news that he doubted its authenticity. After all, how could a teenage boy have such abilities not make people wonder, and even frighten him?
?
Li Deming raised his head and glanced at the military formation, frowning slightly: "Gu Lepou's harassment method is becoming more and more unfamiliar. Now is a good time to get down to business! Blow the trumpet and raid the northeast corner of the Song Army. This is the most loose place of the military formation and the distance is extremely small.
It's so big that once the attack is broken, the entire army will be in turmoil!"
"Obey the king's order!"
The cavalrymen beside Li Deming immediately got on their horses, shouted Li Deming's instructions, and at the same time asked several cavalrymen with horns on their waists to blow the horns vigorously.
Following the sound of the horn and the order from the soldiers, the elite cavalry led by Gu Lepou instantly changed their formation, from a wedge shape to an extremely sharp cone shape, and plunged straight into the northeast corner of the Song Army's formation. Sure enough, the Song Army's formation was shaking rapidly.
, although it was only a small attack, the whole army was unstable.
But fortunately, Cao Yi commanded well, and his soldiers quickly conveyed orders. The army adjusted their queues in time and closed up the military formation. So the originally loose ground immediately began to tighten, and the cooperation between the infantry became tighter, making it impossible for the party members to attack easily.
Pass through the military formation.
"My lord, would you like to send all the remaining people? A few such charges can defeat the Song army..."
Before Wei Mingshan Yu could finish speaking, Li Deming shook his hand and said: "Withdraw the troops! This Cao Yi has a few brushes. Being able to defend the army like this is quite a supply. I don't have the ability to command the entire army like him."
The ability to wave a finger like an arm is not superb, but it will not make any mistakes again. The order is sent back to the camp with a pouted head! Now that the Xiqiang people are finished, there is no need for us to be a stumbling block here anymore."
Of course Wei Mingshan Yu understood what Li Deming meant. He sent an order to the rangers in the army, and the party's cavalry quickly rallied amidst the sound of gold. Only Gu Le was angry and resentful. In his opinion, he was about to kill the Chinese army.
went.
Weina Zhihai looked at his brother and said urgently: "Brother, is the king willing to forgive Boshan's sins?"
A miserable smile appeared on Wei Mingshan Yu's lips: "I'm afraid Bo Shan is in trouble. The king said it's not his fault, but he doesn't believe that there are young people like Ye An in the world. But fortunately, there is circumstantial evidence, but...
…The king praised Boshan for being a great talent in driving a wedge between the Song people and the Xiqiang people…”
"Ah! Are you trying to make Boshan take the blame?!"
Wei Ming Zhihai was so smart that he understood his brother's meaning in an instant. He was shocked and angry for a while, but Wei Ming Shanyu helplessly shook his head and said: "If Wei Ming Boshan is captured, then he can only bear the blame.
If not..."
"Even if you escape, you will die!"
Wei Mingshan said coldly: "Then don't let him escape! I heard that the Song Dynasty people are willing to accept surrendered prisoners and even get land..."
Wei Ming Zhihai looked at his familiar yet unfamiliar brother in horror. He didn't know why Wei Ming Shan Yu would say such a thing. Didn't this make Wei Ming Bo Shan defect to the Song Dynasty?!
