Daliang did not close the city gate, but Xixia did not continue to attack, but slowly retreated.
Yao Pingzhong said in confusion: "Why did the Western Xia soldiers retreat?"
Han Shizhong said: "These soldiers must have received the news last night. Today, they came in a hurry. Without siege equipment, they could not attack the city. This time they should be here to show off their power. If we can't hold on, we will retreat. Unexpectedly,
But we went out of the city to fight, and then we gave us some military achievements. Now we should be camping and making siege equipment."
Liu Qi was eager to try and said: "Why don't we chase them for a while?"
When Yao Pingzhong heard this, he immediately agreed, "General Liu said, "We are like Li Yuanhao. When their heavy troops come, we will retreat. If they are not prepared, we will attack."
Chao Yong laughed and said, "The enemy advances and I retreat, the enemy stands and I disturb you, the enemy is tired, and I attack you, and the enemy retreats and I chase you."
This is the sixteen-character policy of guerrilla in later generations, and there are many different opinions as to whom sum it up.
After hearing this, Sun Li couldn't help but praise: "The prince's four sentences explain the harassment war thoroughly."
Liu Qi smiled and said, "We will follow the instructions of the prince, and we will definitely exhaust the harassement of the Western Xia soldiers."
Chao Yong smiled and said, "The soldiers and horses in the city should guard the city day and night, and it is not advisable to go out to fight again. If you want to fight, go together and have a look after it."
Sun Li shook his head and said, "I won't go."
Zhang Qing thought about it and shook his head, "I'm not good at bows and arrows, so I won't go."
However, Liu Qi looked at Han Shizhong and Yao Pingzhong.
Han Shizhong was also very good at riding and shooting. Although Yao Pingzhong was not known for his archery skills, he also used a hard bow.
The three of them were young and energetic and wanted to make contributions, so they bowed and said, "We are willing to leave the city."
Chao Yong smiled and said, "Okay, the original plan to spread the heads and the borders was cancelled. I will give you another chance to become famous. You can go hunting the Xixia people as much as possible. If you kill a hundred of them, you will be named as barons."
When Liu Qi heard this, he couldn't help but say excitedly: "How many are viscounts?"
He is good at shooting skills. As long as the Xixia people send patrol people out, he can hunt them. Unless the Xixia people are all huddled in the camp, of course that is impossible. Only by letting the patrol people out a few miles, when the enemy attacks the camp, will it be impossible.
Only then can there be enough time to gather troops. If you only guard the enemy in the camp, you will find that the enemy attacks the camp. It is too late to gather troops unless the entire army is on guard. Of course, this is impossible.
For those with great archery skills, it is indeed not difficult to shoot a hundred people. The difficult thing is that there is no such opportunity in normal times. Although the Western Xia and the Northern Song Dynasty were enemies in the past, they were also wartime and peacetime. It is undoubtedly a light attack on the border.
It is a serious crime. During the war, it is almost impossible to let them fight alone. Both sides almost fought with border fortresses around some steep terrain, and accidentally got ambushed.
However, Xingqing Prefecture is located in the Yinchuan Plain. It is flat outside the city. No matter how it encircles, there will be enough space for the three of them to escape.
There is no problem with safety, it is only a matter of time to hunt a hundred people.
"Of course, the viscount cannot be sealed easily."
When Liu Qi was a little disappointed, Chao Yong said again: "If you can hunt five hundred people, you can give you a viscount."
Although it is easy for military generals to hunt soldiers, they cannot draw unlimited bows, especially when they use strong bows. At most, they can draw bows more than 100 times a day.
However, Liu Qi and the other two were not without hope. The army of Zhong Shidao had just entered the Huaide army from the Zhenrong army and had not yet entered the territory of Xixia. It would take four or five days to reach Xingqing Prefecture. As long as the benevolent and li did not withdraw their troops, they would have hope.
Liu Qi and the other two decided for a while and went to prepare arrows and war horses.
Zhang Qing could win the title after hearing this. He was also a little moved and said, "I have arranged the city defense and go out of the city with them."
Chao Yong smiled and said, "You are at least a founding uncle now. It is useless to try to increase your title and hunt soldiers. Besides, you, a general, go out to chase the soldiers, and you are a little unemployed."
Zhang Qing smiled awkwardly and said, "What the prince said is, then forget it."
Chao Yong smiled and said, "This city gate is open for them to enter and exit. People in the city are bound to go out of the city to chop wood in the past few days. Some people are assigned to do these jobs so that the soldiers can recognize the people who have left the city so that the Xixia people will not get confused.
Come in with the spy.”
Zhang Qing nodded and said, "Don't worry, just find some Han people to do it, and they can take the opportunity to make a big profit."
Chao Yong smiled and said, "Don't let them raise prices, but it's okay to let them make some hard-earned money."
After chatting with Zhang Qing for a few words, Chao Yong took Sun Li to inspect the other three gates.
Soon, Han Shizhong and the other two left the city, each with three horses, each with a strong bow and three pots of arrows.
The Xixia thunder detective began to suffer. The Xixia soldiers and horses had already seen the martial arts of the three, but they had not yet seen the three shooting skills. Some spies who thought they were good at riding and shooting took the initiative to find the three, but they did not
People dared to find three people alone, but they struggled with dozens of people coming to siege and kill the three people.
Dozens of people surrounded and killed three people, but the three of them did not retreat. Yao Pingzhong liked to fight in close combat, while Han Shizhong shot from time to time, but Liu Qi rarely made people approach, and almost all shot the Xixia people with bows and arrows.
However, the Xixia army retreated ten miles away to camp and build siege equipment.
The three of them did not attack the army, but just shot and patrol around the camp.
When there were too many people, the three of them retreated. When there were too few people, the three of them approached the camp and shot. The patrol teams with dozens of people would be attacked by the three.
Renli heard that the three of them were hunting patrol soldiers and sent several sharpshooters to the camp to challenge the three, but they were also shot and killed by Liu Qi and Han Shizhong.
Renli could only grit his teeth and continue to send soldiers to patrol, but each team of patrol troops had 100 people.
Even so, the three of them continued to attack the patrol. The three of them rode good horses raised in the palace, coming and going like the wind, approaching and shooting a few people from time to time and leaving.
The patrol soldiers reacted and could only sigh if they wanted to pursue them.
I designed it several times, but I didn't surround the three of them.
In just half a day, the reputation of the harassing trio spread throughout the Xixia camp. The soldiers assigned to patrol would pray not to meet the three before leaving the camp.
It was not until night fell that the three of them rushed back.
However, Zhang Qing personally guarded the city gate. When he saw the three of them coming back, he ordered the suspension bridge to close the city gate to prevent the Xixia people from attacking at night.
Seeing that the bags that the three of them were hanging were bulging, Zhang Qing smiled and said, "It seems that the goods are receiving well."
Han Shizhong shook his head and said, "Many of the people who shot and killed were taken back by other Xixia people, so there was no time to get their waist cards."
Zhang Qing smiled and said, "How is it? Is it enough for the baron?"
Han Shizhong shrugged and said, "Yao Pingzhong and I should be able to get together tomorrow. Liu Qi shot more than 80 people today."
When the three of them left the city, it was almost noon, and they returned to the city several times to change horses to rest. Zhang Qing heard that Liu Qi had shot more than 80 people, and couldn't help but praise: "Liu Xiaoxiaowei's shooting skills can be comparable to General Li Guanghua.
.”
Liu Qi said modestly: "I have heard of General Hua's name and the light of fireflies, how dare I compete with Haoyue for the bright light."
Zhang Qing smiled and said, "You two are rare sharpshooters, and I'm afraid there are not many sharpshooters like you on the grassland."
Liu Qi smiled and said, "The general's featherless arrow is the best. We are willing to give up the disadvantage if we have feathered arrows."
"Haha, let's not praise each other. Let's go to the palace together. I heard that the dinner in the palace was extremely rich last night, so I also went to have a autumn wind."
Let’s talk about Renzhong’s 200,000 troops along the way. After Renzhong said that he surrendered to Xue Sichang, he led his troops across Hengshan. After entering Huanqing Road, he was also unobstructed. Therefore, he quickly entered Qingzhou and prepared to attack Yuanzhou on Jingyuan Road. Then encircle Weizhou.
However, when Renzhong was about to use troops in Yuanzhou, he heard Yipintang report that Chage's army was defeated and Chage was killed in the battlefield.
However, Cha Ge's status is much higher than Renzhong, and Cha Ge's military use is much higher than Renzhong. Cha Ge can be said to be the god of war in Xixia for nearly twenty years.
After hearing the news of Cha Ge's death, Renzhong had an army of 200,000, but he did not dare to use troops anymore. He could only ask Yipintang to ask Li Ganshun for instructions. However, a few days later, Yipintang again came from Yipintang that Li Ganshun was also killed in battle.
The king and the god of war were killed, and only one of the three armies remained. And when he heard that the firearms in Daliang were extremely powerful, Renzhong immediately decided to withdraw.
But when he returned the same route, he found that Xue Sichang, who had just surrendered, had actually rebelled, and the troops on Huanqing Road sniped them through the fortress along the way.
Renzhong would definitely fight back to Xixia if he wanted to retreat.
