Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant
Page 278
In official history, the Xixia iron kite was also defeated by Li Shifu.
His secret to defeating the iron kite is not to slap the horse's legs like some people shout.
Those who say that to deal with heavy cavalry and kidnapped horses, you only need to chop off the horse's legs, as if you are saying that to deal with machine guns, you only need to block the muzzle of the machine gun.
People will feel frightened when they see the mighty heavy cavalry rolling over.
Not to mention that the reaction speed of a war horse is faster than that of a human, so it may not be able to cut the horse's leg.
Even if the horse's leg was successfully chopped off, the person who chopped off the horse's leg would most likely be crushed by the fallen horse and killed on the spot.
This is the same as asking soldiers to block guns.
Throughout the ages, how many soldiers dared to block the muzzle?
Except for a small number of people who really see death as home, normal people would not do that.
Normal people will dodge bullets when they see them.
The same goes for heavy cavalry.
So to really defeat the heavy cavalry is by no means as simple as cutting off the horse's legs.
If it was that simple, the Mongolian iron cavalry that swept the world would still hit with a hammer.
Li Shifu has only one secret to defeat the iron kite: bravery!
There are often no shortcuts in life, especially in the face of cruel wars.
It will not give you any chance to rest, it will destroy you!
You can make big detours, or you can surprise.
But in the end, they all have to meet the enemy hand-to-hand.
If you don't fight it head-on, it will destroy everything about you.
In fact, no matter how much you pray, there will never be a Xixia man or a Jin man.
Those scenes of tearing up the enemy are just storytellers trying to cater to many vulnerable audiences.
After all, get the money in your pocket first.
But here comes the problem, which has caused many people to lose the minimum awe and bloodiness towards war.
Treat war as a twisted pleasure in the spiritual world.
They don't know that there are no shortcuts in war, and that war kills people. It is as strong as the Han and Tang Dynasties. While fighting all over the eastern world, countless people died in battle.
A group that has lost the awe of war is like the monarchs and ministers in the Song Huizong era, who easily launched wars and were hastily defeated.
It was when this awe of war was reawakened that the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty became more calm when making war decisions, and they paid more attention to the military's bravery in shaping the army.
And then reshape the military spirit.
A real man, afraid of death, but brave enough to face death on the battlefield!
This is the case with Li Shifu and his people at this time.
After fighting for more than an hour, everyone became weak.
But when the left and right wings of the Xixia cavalry began to charge wildly, and when the iron kite was crushed like a mountain moving sideways, they stubbornly carried it down again.
Countless iron guns began to stab at the iron kite frantically.
The iron and steel collided violently, making a clanging sound.
The screams of people mixed with the wailing of war horses. The iron armor was smashed by the axe, and the flesh and blood collapsed, squeezing together with the broken bones.
Blood splashed everywhere in the air, and the humid air was mixed with blood mist.
Someone held a long spear and poked the iron kite cavalry off the horse, while the other took a long axe and slashed over.
The people wrapped in iron armor and the horses wrapped in iron armor piled up disorderly to form a "hill" of steel and flesh.
"Little Hill" was struggling in pain. Those people and horses who were crushed below had only one extravagant wish at this moment, which was to die immediately!
I don't know how long it took, but the war finally eased down.
After the Xixia light cavalry experienced countless attacks, some were buried in this horrific battle, and some had already fled.
Fei Tingrongju's son, Fei Tingyuling, was hammered by the Song army into a puddle of meat wrapped in scrap iron during the impact, and even his war horse was deformed by the hammer.
Outside Mizhi Village, rivers of blood flowed and corpses piled up like mountains.
If he had to ask the historian to record this war, he might downplay it: In the summer of the fifth year of Jingkang, Mizhizhai, Shifu won the three armies bravely, hit it, and broke the iron kite.
As for the Xixia general Fei Tingrongju, he was already retreating.
He couldn't help crying out sadly: "The sky wants to kill me too!"
For Fei Tingrongju, interspersing behind the Song Army was a very good move.
Even though Song Jun predicted this move and defended accordingly, Fei Tingrongju still succeeded.
But after passing through, since the capture of Funing Village, Fei Tingrongju almost made mistakes every step of the way.
If he had attacked the other two low-difficulty fortresses first, the situation might have been very different.
Even if it is heavy rain, it is not suitable for siege, but it may not be impossible to take down the two low-difficulty fortresses.
In this way, there is absolutely no need to continuously invest in elites, or even be forced to invest in iron kites at critical moments, leading to a final disastrous escape.
This is the time to test the general. War is not something that you can prove that you are awesome.
The top leader must look at the overall situation and make reasonable arrangements based on the overall situation.
Fei Tingrongju paid the bill for his wrong judgment, but this responsibility was clearly not something he could afford.
The army from the right of the Western Xia army interspersed in and failed. Many people fled, but they could not escape back to the rear of the Western Xia army.
Next, they will face the siege of various Song armies.
In fact, there is a reason, if Huo Qubing went deep into Hexi, he would not be able to defeat the Xiongnu in the field battle, and he would be surrounded and killed by the Xiongnu in multiple ways.
It can be said that Mizhizhai was the key battle of the Sixth Song-Xia War.
On May [-]th, Li Qianshun, who received the letter from Zhao Guan's family, was very happy.
It can be seen from Zhao Guanjia's credential that Zhao Guanjia was also forced to use troops helplessly.
If this is the case, then the bargaining chips for the two countries to negotiate will become larger.
But Li Qianshun was only happy for less than a cup of tea.
"What! The army on the right made their own decisions and acted rashly!"
Li Qianshun was shocked when he heard this.
"Yes."
"When did this happen?"
"A few days ago."
"Why did you report it now!" Li Qianshun looked at the messenger angrily and asked.
"Your Majesty, forgive me, Fei Tingrongju's action was too sudden, and we just learned about it."
"Damn you all!"
"Your Majesty's forgiveness!"
Li Qianshun really wanted to scold: There are always people who want to harm me!
At this time, the prime minister named Anhui came out and said, "Your Majesty, the reason why General Fei Ting did this is probably because he wanted to surprise the Song army. If he can penetrate behind the Song army and attack the fortifications and grain transport teams behind the Song army , Yinzhou will become an isolated city.”
Li Qianshun said impatiently: "The Zhao family already intends to talk about peace."
Wei Ming Anhui said: "But if we can win Mizhi Village and surround Yinzhou, our peace talks with Song will be even more advantageous!"
Li Qianshun frowned and pondered: "I know what you mean. If you can beat the Song army hard and talk about peace again, you can naturally ask for a lot of money."
"Then what are you still worried about, Your Majesty?"
"I ask you, how sure is Fei Tingrongju of winning?"
"Nine percent!"
"really?"
"Really! Your Majesty, let's just wait for the good news. Once Fei Tingrongju cuts off the Song army's rear, our army will immediately press into Yinzhou, and the Song army will definitely be defeated!"
Chapter 394 Xixia Surrenders (Second Change)
In the next few days, the Song army launched a large-scale pursuit of the fleeing Xixia army.
The results of this battle of Mizhizhai were very rich: 3000 Xia soldiers were beheaded (most of them were pushed and trampled to death) and 3000 were captured.
There were still 4000 Xia troops who were scattered and fled.
A considerable number of people fled to the mountains.
Still others chose to surrender.
In the absence of normal supplies, the Xia army could not persist, and surrender was their only way out.
However, starting from May [-]th, the news released by Mizhizhai was also very rough and simple: reject the surrender of the Xixia people, shoot to kill!
Some people say that this is revenge for the massacre of the Xixia people in Funingzhai.
But Li Yongqi has another consideration.
In the past hundred years of war between Song and Xia, the Xixia people overdrawn their reputation.
They had repeatedly feigned surrender and mutiny, which exhausted the Song army and suffered heavy losses.
Any lie needs to pay the price, but the time has not come.
Now the Xixia people have paid the price for their proud cunning strategy.
On May 3000th, a Xia army of more than [-] people chose to surrender, but they were all killed by the Song army by the Wuding River.
On May [-]th, the chief general Fei Tingrong was captured between the mountain roads and was taken to Mizhi Village.
The buddy said in a condescending tone: "I am Fei Tingrongju, the leader of the Western Xia Right Route Army, and I want to be treated as a high-ranking prisoner of war."
The results of it?
After Li Yongqi learned the identity of this guy, he was dragged to the gate of the city immediately, and his head was beheaded.
Then he ordered someone to send his head to Yinzhou.
On May [-]th, Fei Tingrongju's head was placed on Liu Kai's table.
A copy of the latest battle report was also on his desk. After reading the battle report, Liu Kai touched his head, somewhat disbelieving that it was true.
Who?
Now it doesn't matter whether Wang Shu comes or not.
Liu Kai said suddenly: "Immediately send this head to Shizhou and hand it over to Lord Xia."
"Yes!"
On the evening of May [-]th, Wei Ming An Hui had just finished eating when Ren Dejing came to visit him.
"See Xiangguo."
"What are you looking for from me?"
"Xiangguo, Xiaguan has just received the news that King Jin has released the Song Dynasty envoy."
"Oh, who decided this?"
"Your Majesty doesn't know who it is, it may be His Majesty."
"Impossible. Now that the two armies are at war, it is impossible for His Majesty to release that Sun Fu at this time."
Ren Dejing said: "Your Majesty still wants to seek peace."
Wei Ming An Hui fell into deep thought.
Ren Dejing said: "Xiangguo, we must find a way to make His Majesty send troops firmly and fight the Song army to the death as soon as possible. If the time drags on, it will be at our disadvantage!"
Ren Dejing can't sleep every day now. After all, he betrayed Da Song. If Song Jun wins, he is worried that he will be liquidated.
Therefore, he hopes that Xixia can win more than the Xixia people.
