Chapter 1,320 Accident

Zhong E thought for a while and couldn't help but sigh: "Maybe... you just lack someone who can and is willing to reach out... to pull you out of the quagmire."

"In fact, there is no need..." Liang Yongneng said with a smile: "Your ability to judge the battlefield situation is far better than others. From the moment you entered Naliping and forced me to show up for the decisive battle, you already won.

"

Zhong E shook his head: "After all, it is due to the disparity in equipment. It is not my fault, so I dare not take advantage of it."

Liang Yongneng breathed hard, as if he had heard some big joke: "Then in the eighty years of Great Xia, using war cavalry to attack cities and seize territory, wasn't it also an injustice to the Song Dynasty?"

Zhong E was stunned for a moment, and finally took off his helmet and handed it to Cao Nan beside him. He cupped his fists and saluted Liang Yongneng: "Thank you sir, I will go out and kill my inner demons today."

Liang Yongneng said: "You will eventually become an invincible commander... I want to ask you for something."

"Speaking."

"Kill me with your sharp firearms. I want to die like a real warrior on the battlefield, under the enemy's weapons."

"I beg you...give me some final dignity. Also, take good care of my snow shadow."

After a long time, a crisp sound of gunshots was heard in the small courtyard. Zhonge walked out of the small courtyard carrying the revolving gun, while Cao Nan followed behind him, leading Liang Yongneng's white horse.

Stopping and inserting the wheel gun back into its bag, Zhong E looked back at the small courtyard: "Tell me, who is the hero, the Duke of Guo or him?"

Cao Nan thought for a while: "Liang Yongneng may be regarded as a hero among the Xia people, the Duke... I can't really call him a hero, but he is a person who can cultivate heroes."

Zhong E pondered for a moment, stretched out his gray wool military uniform, took his helmet and put it on again: "Hurry up and march forward to encircle us."

…

Lingzhou, Gurdui, and Renduo looked at the sky alone, nocked their bows and arrows, and then released the bowstrings.

Xingzhou's treasured bow was extremely powerful, and its eagle-feathered arrows flew into the air. A huge raptor was pierced through the chest and armpits, whining and spinning before falling to the ground.

The guard ran over and picked it up: "The handsome shooter!"

Ren Duo looked at the raptor's bare head and neck alone and sighed: "Order the troops to kill the horses! Let's have a good meal today and a decisive battle tomorrow!"

120,000 people attacked continuously for five days and nights. The Xia people left tens of thousands of corpses in several dry rivers. However, even though they could see the Lingzhou City Wall on the horizon, it still seemed out of reach.

Food has not been exhausted until today, because the death of the cannon fodder servants has greatly eased the shortage of military supplies.

Of the 70,000 servants, 40,000 were wiped out by the Song people, and 30,000 were wiped out by the troops under their supervision.

The military law of the Xia Kingdom is so cruel, which is why the Xia Kingdom can continue to grow and develop despite being in a place of four wars.

The military way.

The Song people on the opposite side became obviously embarrassed, and their sharp guns and weapons became sparse.

They also made huge mistakes in their judgment. They did not expect that there would be an army that was reduced by more than half without collapsing.

In fact, in Ren Duoling's eyes, the tribes in the sandbank are just bandits.

When the Song people were not here, they were just bandits who robbed the Xia army's supplies. When the Song people came, they wanted to unite and join the Xia people.

Is it that easy? It’s just right to send the gunpowder that consumes the people of Song Dynasty.

The vultures are flying to the southeast, indicating that the Governor is dead.

The defender of Lingzhou City is Liang Lingtong, the queen's brother, and it is absolutely impossible for him to surrender.

And the five killing gods are right behind him.

Therefore, tomorrow will be the final decisive battle. Only by defeating Gao Zunyu, capturing Su You, and finally rushing into Lingzhou, there is still a chance of victory.

Seeing that the soldiers around him were still hesitating, Ren Duo raised his giant ax alone and chopped off the head of his horse Guazhou Chi with one blow. Blood sprayed all over him and he shouted sternly: "Victory or defeat will only be decided in tomorrow's bloody battle. If you are defeated, you will die."

The Great White Kingdom has ceased to exist, so why should we be stingy with one horse?"

…

So beside Qin Canal, Su You and Gao Zunyu were also looking at the sky.

Those flying south at this time are definitely not wild geese.

"Cao Nan!"

Cao Nan raised the magical blunderbuss and took aim slightly, and the "bang" was the blunderbuss.

A big bird fell from a high altitude. Su You looked at the raptor that the soldiers had brought and said, "This is a vulture, also called a dog-headed eagle. It likes fresh corpses best."

Gao Zunyu nodded: "The seeds are coming."

Ren Duoling Ding believed that the Song Army had misjudged the situation, and Su You also believed that Ren Duo Ling Ding had misjudged the situation.

Because the supplies for the army in the middle were not cut off.

With cowhide Hunduo, military supplies could be transported from Weizhou to Lanzhou and then lowered from the Yellow River.

The benefits of water transportation are huge. From Lanzhou to Xiakou, it takes only two days to reach the four hundred miles, and then it takes only one day to transport it from the Guqin Main Canal to the Xiazhou front line.

Lanzhou already belonged to the rear, so Li Xian sent all the spare ammunition of the New Army on the West Route to the front.

Song Jun is just creating an illusion.

Su You said: "In fact, as long as we capture Lingzhou, Renduo Lingding will be completely demoralized."

Cao Nan said: "Otherwise, we can let the upper reaches break the water, or we can use canals to separate them."

Su You's eyes flickered: "We have killed and wounded nearly 40,000 Xia troops these days, right?"

Cao Nan nodded: "The Xia people are really tenacious in fighting spirit. They are still capable of fighting at this level."

Gao Zunyu shook his head: "These are just servants. The real elite soldiers are still behind. Seeing that there is not enough food, Ren Duo drove these people to die and dissipated our ammunition."

Su You said: "Zenzheng, Liu Changzuo's 100,000-strong army, and Su Lie's western route, the battle has basically been fought so far."

"Then prepare to break the embankment. When the enemy takes action, release water to separate the enemy. Then we will concentrate our firepower to protect a few bridges. The rest will be left to Zi Zheng."

After speaking, he handed over to Gao Zunyu: "Lingzhou City will be recovered by Uncle Guo."

Gao Zunyu said with a smile: "Don't worry, Lingzhou City is easily accessible anyway. Let's resist for a while tomorrow and attract Ren Duo's small army to gather together, so that we can have more time to arrange the seeds over there."

Both sides actually knew in their hearts that the moment of decisive battle had arrived.

Early the next morning, the Song army lined up their carriages beside a dry river and lined up to wait for the enemy.

This is also the experience gained after several days of fierce fighting. If you lie down on the side of the river to snipe, you can make use of the natural trenches. However, once the enemy attacks in a dense formation, if there is no artillery cover, because there is no good location in front of the formation, the defenders will also be defeated.

passive.

In addition to consuming precious artillery shells, it was also easy for the Xia army to break into the position, causing casualties to the defending soldiers.

Over the past few days, the New Army also lost nearly 500 people. Fortunately, most of them were wounded and were being treated in field hospitals behind the formation.

Finally, Cao Nan suggested using vans to form a line on this side of the canal, turning the canal into a trench in front of the position. In this way, when the Xia people came over, the new army could get a better shooting range, forming a commanding shooting that shook the sky.

Thunder in river channels can also cause greater damage.

Such a change immediately put the Xia people into a dilemma. The intensive charge tactics turned into hole-filling tactics. The Song army could shoot calmly, causing heavy casualties to the Xia army.

This is how the experience of war is gradually gained through bloodshed time after time.

The funniest thing is that Liang Lingtong also sent troops out of the city to prepare for internal and external cooperation, but Liu Shiheng bluntly and rudely attacked them through the Guqin Canal. The Xia people had no water crossing equipment at all, so they sent a wave of people away and continued to return to the city.

Already.

But today, Ren Duo's lone army arrived, and the morale of this Xia army was obviously very different from the cannon fodder troops of the previous few days.

They are all infantry.

In order to counter the Song army's firearms, many large carts were pushed in front of the team, and straw bags were piled on the carts filled with soil.

The battle was extremely fierce from the beginning.

There is a protruding part of the river channel. The Xia people quickly explored the Song army's defensive weakness here. Braving the Song people's fire, they kept pushing carts into the river channel from three sides, trying to fill a passage with corpses and carts.

.

Xizao Bay soon became a bloody killing ground.

In half a day, the Xia people left thousands of corpses here, and finally retreated in disgrace.

The Song people finally breathed a sigh of relief, opened their vehicle array, and began to clear the battlefield.

At this moment, a Xia man covered in blood suddenly stood up from the pile of corpses, slashing hard at the New Army soldiers with a long knife in his hand!

At the same time, countless Xia people also emerged from the pile of corpses, slashing at the suddenly helpless soldiers with their weapons.

The sergeant guarding the formation was shocked and wanted to close the car formation, but it was too late.

Countless well-aimed arrows flew out from the jujube forest opposite, and the sergeants outside the vehicle formation fell to the ground one after another.

The company commander was so angry that he suddenly ignited the fuzes of several thunderbolts on his weapon, rolled out of the van, and rushed towards the Xia people who were rushing towards the gap in the vehicle formation on the slope: "Xia dogs! I'll fuck you.

Grandma!"

"Boom -" The violent explosion blocked the Xia people's plans for a moment. A dozen of the most courageous Xia people selected as vanguards were killed on the spot.
Chapter completed!
