Chapter 974 Procrastination
How could Situ En and Wei Xun not know how tragic the situation was? If they could choose, they would show their cavalry advantages. However, the conditions really did not allow them to retreat. They must ensure the safety of the fishing city.
The fishing city is still very lively during the day, and Zheng Rongde came to wait for Li De to get up very early.
"Husband, Zheng Derong has been waiting for a long time."
"Is there anything he has to do?"
Zheng Derong, a businessman, has been waiting for so long but doesn't say anything good, it seems that he has to go over and take a look at it himself.
"Yeah, I'll go and have a look."
"Grandmaster, now the fishing city has to face the attack of the Xixia soldiers. Although we can't help much, the people in the fishing village want to do their part. The industrial projects of the Youzhou forces can be arranged for the fishing village people to take care of them. I wonder if the Grandmaster can agree."
Zheng Derong had a great influence in the fishing village, how could he not know about the King of Xixia? Moreover, the battle has begun, which is well-known.
Zheng Derong's idea is very practical. It is not necessary to use vanguard troops to protect the industry. As long as there are many people, they can be protected. In order to further strengthen the relationship, the Zheng family must come forward.
Li De thought about it and made some sense, but the remaining 50,000 people were really inappropriate and there was no guarantee if there were any local people to snatch him.
You should know that the small matter of garrison has never been stopped since He Bida started. It is not surprising that some people take risks in order to gain more benefits. He hesitated because the people were able to defend the bandits who wanted to plunder in Xijiang.
"It's OK, just mobilize the young and strong people in the fishing city."
Li De still agreed. Although fields, rubber plantations and other industries require people, they are the biggest threat now compared to these Xixia soldiers. He wants to solve this problem earlier and it is too late to wait for the second batch of low-bone soldiers to arrive.
Li De immediately asked Pei Qingxuan and Zhang Chuchen to handle this matter.
The vanguard soldiers who guarded the industry were not all drawn out, but they just transferred 30,000 people again. This time, Li De and Pei Qingxuan personally led their troops to support.
The troops led by Situ En and Wei Xun were fighting, and the situation began to improve when Yang Yuer brought her support.
When the Xixia soldiers saw that they came to support again, they put a lot of pressure on them. What surprised them was the female general who led the vanguard soldiers.
The woman led the troops to simply subvert their impression. The Pioneer Soldiers had this news before, and the shock they saw with their own eyes was even greater.
"Your Majesty, their support is also available, and it is difficult to win by consuming their physical strength."
"Continue to fight and take a turn for rest."
At this time, Han Meng had to bite the bullet and continue, and the battle had already begun and there was no reason to stop the action at this time.
He is thinking about the vanguard soldiers' armor and horses.
After Yang Yuer brought the support troops, he immediately joined the battle. With support, Situ En and others also got rest. However, the support troops had advantages and was not obvious, and the number of troops did not allow the King of Xixia to change the offensive intention.
At night, the 30,000 vanguard soldiers led by Li De arrived. It was already dusk and the day's battle stopped in time when they arrived.
"With the support of the Grand Commander's troops, tomorrow there will be those who can compete with the Western Xia soldiers."
Situ En was still very cautious. The number of soldiers was large and good, although they were cavalrymen, the advantage they gained in such a battle would be very small.
The biggest killing is the charge of horses when both sides start war, but at the same time, they will fall into a trap.
Today, Yang Yu'er arrived in time to resolve the crisis. In the evening, Li De came to resolve the siege again. I don't know what the next battle situation will be.
Li De was not worried that, except for the 15,000 people taken away by Luo Song, there were already 110,000 soldiers here.
With excellent soldiers and armor, you can have the power to fight.
The method Li De used was not a direct decisive battle. The reason why Situ En and Wei Xun chose to fight to the death was that they did not want the Xixia army to go further.
Now most of the troops have been pulled out and they can just drag them first. Don’t forget that there is Luo Song’s mission.
Li De joined the battle the next day before he started fighting the vanguard, he took the lead in adopting a defensive posture. More than 100,000 cavalry gathered together and wanted to take the initiative to attack.
Han Meng thought that the vanguard soldiers were ready to retreat at any time, and he also knew that the cavalry charge caused the most damage, and he did not rush to fight when he saw this situation.
They were given such time to make good use of it, so Han Meng asked someone to start making horse-rejecting stakes.
This is the simplest and most effective prop to deal with cavalry and can be made with some wood. Then, under the gaze of the vanguard, he watched the other party make it without any intention of stopping it.
Han Meng was a little weak when he saw the vanguard soldier in his heart, because the atmosphere and the style of the vanguard soldier were too different, which was really weird.
Li De wanted to make the enemy suspicious. Anyway, the purpose was to delay time and not start a war for the time being, which achieved their goal.
The first day of Li De's support passed like this. Although Han Meng didn't know what the vanguard was going to do, he felt a little confident with a lot of horse-rejecting stakes.
Han Meng's confidence was these things, and the soldiers' ideas also changed from thinking about offense to defense.
The next day, the vanguard soldier still did not look like fighting. Han Meng was still wondering whether it was the vanguard soldier who wanted to take the opportunity to start a decisive battle. He felt that the horse-rejecting stake was not enough and kept making it.
On the third day, Han Meng couldn't wait, so he sent someone to take the initiative. Li Defang, Situ En and others fought, did not invest too much troops, and the vanguard troops still gained the advantage.
Han Meng did not invest more troops, and when he did not understand what the vanguard soldiers had, he really didn't want to invest more troops.
After several days of battle, the number of Xixia soldiers suffered a great loss, not to mention that many sick soldiers were cruelly giving up in order to prevent more people from being involved.
On the fourth day, Han Meng really couldn't wait anymore. At this time, it was obvious that the vanguard was deliberately delaying time.
No matter how many vanguards there are, they will not have any defense.
"Order the entire Xixia army to attack."
Han Meng couldn't wait any longer, but when the charge horn was sounded, the vanguard retreated and should have pursued the victory, but it was impossible to let the infantry chase the cavalry.
What if the enemy deliberately lures the enemy?
After Han Meng sent people to tentatively pursue the pursuit, the vanguard soldiers decisively turned around and counterattacked, and the Xixia soldiers immediately retreated quickly as instructed.
Just when Han Meng was puzzled, Xixia City also ushered in its enemy.
Luo Song commanded his troops very steadily. He knew that there were no Xixia soldiers in Xixia City, but out of caution, he asked people to convey the purpose of this war before the war started.
The destructive affairs of the King of Xixia have long been no secret. There is no way for people to give up attacking Xixia City in such a way as pursuing the Great Governor of Youzhou.
