In accordance with the rules on the battlefield, Weiming Shanyu sent someone to Hulukou carrying the sheep bone flag representing the party. He also had a selfish intention and quietly ordered his cronies to serve as envoys and asked him to ask Ye An to take a look at the captured Weiming.
Boshan.
But I never thought that I would not wait for the news of the Song army's compromise, but the envoy's huge head and a letter.
A trusted servant angrily expressed the attitude of the Song army: "The Song people reprimanded our Dangxiang envoy, saying that he was originally a vassal of the Song Dynasty, but he got involved in the Song Dynasty. Now he wants to attack the Western Qiang. Even if the Western Qiang has done something wrong, he should be the Song Dynasty."
The court punishes his crimes, and we cannot go beyond the king's laws!"
Wei Mingshan Yu's face was ashen, but he still suppressed his anger and asked: "Is Wei Ming Bo Shan still okay?"
"Anhao, the Song Dynasty people did not do anything to him. I also saw Weiming Boshan, but he is still a prisoner. This is the handwriting of Yunzhong Junhou."
Wei Mingshanyu glanced at the letter and did not dare to take it. He did not expect that Ye An would actually write to him. If there were words in it to sow discord, he would not be able to face Li Deming.
In fact, the beheaded messenger was already Ye An's answer. Weiming Shanyu knew that he had to accept this letter, and the words in it must be related to his plan.
In just an instant, Wei Mingshan Yu made a decision and took the letter without leaving any trace. The servant was smart enough that standing opposite Wei Ming Shan Yu, others could not see the folded letter at all.
Ye An's attitude made it clear that the Song Dynasty would never give up on the Xiqiang, and certainly would not give the party members a chance to sow discord between the Song Dynasty and the Xiqiang.
When Wei Mingshan Yu conveyed Ye An's attitude to Li Deming, Li Deming was not surprised. He just said lightly: "Then attack! We will do it in the name of helping the Song Dynasty quell the Xiqiang rebellion.
As for the casualties of these Song troops... I blame them for attacking our party and they suffered backlash! It is not my wish!"
Li Deming had successfully framed this matter, and this rhetoric was very suitable. After all, he had already sent an envoy to negotiate with Ye An, which meant that he was not willing to fight the Song army.
When night fell, Dangxiang's army launched an attack. Bubazi, wearing rattan armor and holding rattan plates, quickly advanced on the mountain road of Hulukou, but soon numerous horse traps and iron caltrops slowed them down.
The Song army on the city wall finally discovered their presence. The only things that could be heard in the dark night were the whistling of arrows and the arc of rockets sliding through the air.
There were not many rockets, but they were enough to ignite the hay on the ground and light up most of the battlefield. The Song people's crossbows had always been powerful, but the rain of arrows did not stop Bubazi's steps. They held their shields high and continued to move forward, cleaning the ground.
Caltrops and caltrops fill the horse's pit at the same time.
Brave and unafraid of death is enough to describe their fighting power. Even the Song troops on the city wall couldn't help but sigh at their bravery.
Bubazi mostly came from the Hengshan tribe and lived dependent on Dangxiang people. They almost obeyed Dangxiang's orders. They couldn't help it because Dangxiang was too powerful and monopolized all their daily needs.
Unlike the Xiqiang people, who could rely on the Song Dynasty to acquire land for farming or make a living by grazing on the plains, they could only live on the mercy of the Dangxiang people in the Hengshan Mountains where the jungle was strong.
Although their status is not high, Li Deming will give them very generous rewards for their heroic performance on the battlefield. Over time, this habit has become a ridiculous system, and the young men of the Hengshan tribe will consciously go to Dangxiang to become Buba
son, supporting his family with his military exploits...
Two thousand Bubazi, fearless of death, finally rushed to the city wall. The Song army resisted tenaciously. All kinds of defensive equipment were thrown down as if they were free of charge, but the most numerous ones were rolling stones and wood.
Qinggang Gorge lacks everything except stones and wood. The thick wood is shaking in the air and falling down. Being hit from such a high distance will basically result in vomiting blood.
The biggest disadvantage of attacking at night is the poor visibility. The archers in the group cannot take advantage of them. There is no light on the city. Only at the moment when the rocket is launched can the densely packed figures on the wall be vaguely seen.
But Bubazi was in the open, and the Song army's rockets ignited the battlefield, leaving them with nowhere to escape.
At this time, Dangxiang's cavalry were also coming to kill them. Their speed was very fast, and the obstacles on the ground were almost cleared by Bubazi. They only needed to be prepared for the Song army's arrows.
The war horse was covered with thick rattan armor, while the party members riding on the horse wore thick leather armor, and had iron breastplates sewn at key locations.
For the Dangxiang people, cavalry is not just cavalry. They can also be used as infantry when attacking a city. When Bubazi has set up the ladder and rushes to the city wall first, the Dangxiang cavalry will follow closely behind.
boarded this temporary city wall.
The cast-iron flail in Gu Lapout's hand was swung, and all the Song troops who were approaching were easily repelled by him. With his amazing arm strength, he swung the flail like a glaring King Kong, and shouted the party dialect in his mouth, with an astonishing momentum.
So much so that when An Huajun's sword and shield wielder tried to get closer, he was knocked away and fell to the ground. The iron-covered wooden shield had deformed, and the wood inside had been exposed.
With such a fierce general in charge, the Dangxiang people quickly captured the city wall, but the Song army retreated into the Qinggang Gorge.
Gu Lepou, who was about to chase and kill, was stopped by his own soldiers: "General, Your Majesty ordered us to seize Hulukou and not to pursue the Song army to prevent fraud!"
"This group of Song people are vulnerable. I don't know how the Xiqiang people, who have always been famous for their bravery, were defeated in their hands. As for the Yunzhong princes, they are just Huangkou children! How can they use troops?!"
Although he said so, he still did not lead the army to pursue him. Li Deming was strict in governing the army. Failure to obey military orders would result in death regardless of status. Gu Lepou saw with his own eyes one of Li Deming's favorite soldiers.
Because he had only a short time to retreat from the battlefield, he was killed by Li Deming without hesitation.
Hulukou has been occupied, but Li Deming's Chinese army did not enter it. Instead, they set up camp outside Hulukou and only sent Bubazi and the former army to garrison Hulukou.
Although he said he didn't care about Ye An, a child with a yellow mouth, Li Deming was very cautious in actual use of troops, especially after hearing Weina Zhihai's evaluation of Ye An on the battlefield, he became even more cautious.
After collecting information about Ye An's several battles, Li Deming discovered that this son was different from other generals of the Song Army. He was the best at using strange weapons and his methods were as clever as an antelope hanging its horns.
When attacking Qinggang Gorge, which is like a mountain village, the most taboo thing is to have the army march straight in to avoid being cut off by the enemy or being ambushed here.
"Now the Song army and Ye An are in the same trap. The Qinggang Gorge is a dangerous place. I block his way out and see how he escapes! Zhihai, please return to Qintuokou and mobilize the army to wait. If Ye An leads
Once the army flees Xiamo Village, I, the king, can take the opportunity to capture Xiamo Village!"
The Weiming Mountain Encounter on the edge was suddenly startled. Only then did he understand Li Deming's true intention. The Qinggang Gorge was now blocked. If the Song people withdrew their army, they could follow them and drive the Song army to flee north. In this way, he would
An Bi will go to Xiamo Village!
"The King is impressed by Zhishan! This way we can take the opportunity to capture Xiamo Village, and our party can drive a wedge into Huanzhou!"
Li Deming smiled slightly, waved his riding whip and said: "The most important thing for instigating the Western Qiang people to rebel this time is to capture Xiamozhai, so that our party can disturb the Song people here and even confuse them, making them unable to care about Ganliang."
