Chapter 1694 1370. Battle of Weizhou (Five)
"They want to attract the Jiuzhai defenders to come!"
Tu Boda exclaimed in surprise.
After saying this, even the generals next to him changed their expressions.
If the Jiuzhai Army came to help, but the Song army did not divide the troops to attack the city... Then...
Their total troops deployed in Jiuzhai were only more than 30,000. Faced with so many Song troops, they were just sending sheep into the tiger's mouth.
Tu Boda's eyes showed anxiety, "Hurry! Hurry! Hear the orders of the soldiers of Jiuzhai, do not come over to help..."
"slow!"
When the commander was about to run away, he suddenly thought of something and waved his hand suddenly. Then he pondered without saying a word.
If the soldiers of Jiuzhai were not allowed to come to provide assistance, the Song army took the opportunity to launch a general attack on Weizhou City, what should we do?
Military orders are like mountains, and they cannot be changed again and again.
The wolf smoke just rose and went out, so that they didn't have to come to help. Then suddenly the wolf smoke rose again. What would the soldiers of Jiuzhai think?
Tu Boda frowned deeply.
After a few minutes, he said in a deep voice: "I ordered the soldiers of Jiuzhai to not divide their troops to come and rush to help. Gather first and then come here!"
"yes!"
The messenger took the order and left.
Tu Boda looked out of the city again, his face serious, "Do you want to force us to fight to the decisive battle... Then let's fight, I'll see how your Song army plans to defeat my 60,000 soldiers."
The sun, which had just exposed a little light on the edge of the sky, is now fully exposed and is rising higher and higher.
Time passes by without any rush.
The imperial guards in Shu outside the city never made any movement.
With a creaking sound, the city gates on the east and west sides of Weizhou City were opened one after another. Dozens of scouts each left the city and headed out of the city.
Because the imperial guards in Shu only gathered outside the south city gate, the east and west city gates were empty.
Of course, this is also caused by the terrain.
There are mountains on both sides of Weizhou City, so it is difficult for the Song Dynasty imperial guards to cross the mountain and press the east and west sides. It is also unrealistic to attack the two city gates in the east and west.
After these scouts left the city, they were divided into several stocks. The scouts on the left side of Weizhou City were divided into two stocks at the fork at the end of the official road.
Although Li Xiushu's reforms in Xixia have been quite effective over the years, overall, Xixia is still poor and far from being as well-off as the Song Dynasty.
From Jiuzhai to Weizhou City, there are only two villages with official roads that lead directly to the city. The rest are just small roads.
Of course, it is not impossible to cross mountains and ridges, but probably no army will do that.
Climbing mountains and ridges means that soldiers will have to put in more energy and consume more food. No matter what, it is a thankless thing.
Although Daxia would pay for the food and grass of the Yuan army, Tu Boda, they were afraid that they had already developed a habit.
It is not a surprise attack, no one will choose to travel through mountains and rivers without walking.
As the sound of horse racing was playing, several Yuan army scouts were getting farther and farther away from Weizhou City.
They were all very fast, and because the general had strict orders, they asked them to pass this order to Jiuzhai as quickly as possible.
Tu Boda asked the Jiuzhai Yuan army to gather and come over again, which would inevitably take a lot of time in the middle. And during this period, the Song army may not be able to attack the city.
Furthermore, if the order is not conveyed in time, a certain village reinforcements will first arrive outside Weizhou City, and it will even send sheep into the tiger's mouth.
Next to the official road in the east of Weizhou City.
Yang Kanglong led four hundred special soldiers, and several other entourages hid not far from the official road.
Under the soil slope, a little dark muzzle was exposed.
"drive!"
"drive!"
There is a sound of slapping horses.
Yang Kanglong showed his head slightly from the ground of the earth slope, then suddenly retracted and whispered: "Be ready! They are here!"
There was an excitement on his face.
The Yuan army had just arrived in Weizhou and Jiuzhai, and it was impossible to communicate with the pigeons. As the deputy commander of Feng really asked these Yuan army to send soldiers out of the city.
Although Yang Kanglong dared not determine whether these scouts wanted to convey any orders when they left the city, no matter what, it would be to annihilate them.
The special soldiers under his command were all instantly excited and crawled under the earth slope, waiting for the Yuan army to continue approaching.
"beat!"
When the sound of horse hooves and slapping horses became clearer, Yang Kanglong finally emerged and shouted loudly.
The gunshot broke the tranquility of this official road in an instant.
In an instant, several Yuan army scouts were shot and fell off their horses.
This made them panic.
"enemy!"
"There are enemy troops!"
Then he hurriedly pulled the horse and quickly wanted to retreat.
But it is obviously too late.
Yang Kanglong led the special soldiers and rushed out directly from the ground slope.
With gunshots, Yuan army scouts fell to the ground one by one.
They are only dozens of people and cannot withstand the disposal of the special soldiers of the Frost Group. Those who can be selected into the special regiment are all sharpshooters, but no matter how bad the marksman is, they will not be much worse.
Not to mention, with the several worshippers who came from Yang Kanglong, they were already attacking from the side with weapons.
They did not rush to take action, but only prevented those in the Yuan army from escaping.
Amid the gunshots, in just a few minutes, the dozens of Yuan army scouts who left the east gate of Weizhou City were all dropped.
Some people were shot and died directly, while others were not hit by the key, but it was impossible to escape again.
Seeing the soldiers of the Frost Group approaching with the Dragon Guns, several Yuan army scouts who had not died by luck were also holding guns, but their expressions were extremely panicked.
Some people couldn't bear such mental pressure and suddenly burst into tears, as if they were crazy.
Yang Kanglong walked up to the front of his soldiers and said in a deep voice: "Our army abandoned its weapons and surrendered, our army treated the prisoners with preferential treatment!"
This was not a big deal. Several Yuan army scouts did not have the courage to fight to the death in such a desperate situation. Naturally, they also did not choose to commit suicide and sacrifice their country.
After the soldiers tied up these soldiers, Yang Kanglong ordered: "Cleaning the battlefield quickly!"
And on the two trails on the west side of Weizhou City, it is also similar to that here.
The Frost Group soldiers who were ambushing the road successfully intercepted the Yuan army scouts who had left the city to deliver messages.
Then, they each sent their soldiers back to the army to report, cleaned the battlefield and then lie down on the spot.
These skills are naturally nothing to special soldiers.
Special forces are not only good at shooting skills and can fight. What they are better at is to use the environment to complete various unexpected tasks.
About a while, the soldiers who came back to deliver the message came to Zhang Guangbao one after another.
After Zhang Guangbao learned that they stopped the scout, he couldn't help but smile.
Then he turned his head to look at Feng Hebi who was called by him and said, "Deputy Commander Feng, since the Yuan army scout has been stopped, then we..."
Feng Hebi nodded slightly.
Zhang Guangbao turned his head and said to the commander of the commander: "Chief Qiu of the commander of Tianqiao Army, ask him to lead his soldiers to retreat and go around ten miles east of Weizhou City! Ambush the Yuan army!"
Then he said to another messenger: "You sent the commander of the Tianchui Army, and asked him to retreat and walk around Qitoupo, six miles west of Weizhou City, and ambush down."
Two messengers left.
Zhang Guangbao looked at Feng Hebi again and said, "Can the two armies cry with Tian Qi? Can they stop those Yuan troops?"
Feng Hebi smiled and said, "Weizhou City is filled with smoke. According to the last general, the Yuan army in Jiuzhai will definitely not dare to be negligent and will come quickly to help Weizhou City. Jiuzhai, the five villages in the east of the city and the four villages in the west of the city are still more than ten miles away. They should arrive one by one. In this way, there is a coincidence and the two armies crying."
Zhang Guangbao laughed twice, "Although the Jiuzhai Yuan army must have 20,000 or 30,000, as long as it does not come in parallel, it will not pose any threat."
“That’s right.”
Feng Hebi nodded slightly again.
Then he said: "Just to be on the safe side, Marshal, you should let the Tianfan Army be prepared to rush to help at any time! The victory in a war is to predict the enemy's initiative, and the defeat is to God's will."
"good."
Zhang Guangbao just nodded and asked the messenger to send orders to the Tianfan Army.
Although according to normal inference, the Jiuzhai Yuan army would not be able to gather when Weizhou City was in danger, it is not 100% possible to determine it.
