Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

Rely on more than 1000 cavalry?

The striker of Lingbu Zhongshan fought several times, but was repelled, and it was still during the day, let alone at night.

Although there was a faint light in the snowy night, it could not support the cavalry to attack the heavily armed barracks.

Chapter 1091 Strategies to Disturb the Enemy (Second Change)

Zhang Jun said: "Order the sentry post, take strict precautions!"

"Yes!"

After speaking, Zhang Jun didn't go to sleep immediately, but wrote a letter to Zhao Guan's family.

More than 1000 enemy troops, in terms of numbers alone, are really not worth mentioning.

But Zhang Jun felt that this incident was unusual. The discovery of more than 1000 enemy troops did not mean that there were only more than 1000 enemy troops.

The Xixia people started to act.

Even though Da Song had taken the upper hand in the current situation, Zhang Jun still did not dare to neglect.

Next, Zhang Jun read in the tent.

But in fact he was waiting for news.

The snow outside was falling more and more, and the tent was very quiet, except for the occasional snoring of soldiers.

At the third quarter of Yin's time, only six miles away from the main camp of the Song Army, a Xixia cavalry suddenly appeared due north.

These cavalry quickly advanced forward with the help of the faint snow light.

But their whereabouts were quickly discovered by the Song Army's sentry post, and the Song Army's patrol team immediately dispatched troops after learning about their whereabouts.

In this way, the two sides confronted each other in the snowy night.

The Xixia people moved very fast. There were more than 100 cavalry running wildly in the snowy night. They held weapons. When they saw the black silhouette in front of them, they rushed up and began to fight.

The rest of the soldiers and horses quickly approached the camp.

At this time, it is impossible for the patrol team of the Song Army to completely intercept the Xixia cavalry.

However, according to common sense, there is no need to completely block it.

If you want to stop them completely, you must deploy a large number of cavalry in the patrol team. This configuration mode is almost impossible on a snowy night.

Whoever does this is stupid.

The expensive unit of cavalry is not used in this way.

So let the Xixia cavalry rush to the tent like this?

It is entirely possible to allow them to assault the past.

Fighting is not just about interception. The Xixia cavalry charged past, facing a solid camp defense, and the road behind may also be blocked.

So, when Zhang Jun saw the information before, he couldn't understand why more than 1000 Xixia cavalry came to attack the camp?

The current situation shows that more than 1000 cavalry from the Xixia people really dare to attack the camp.

"Master Zhang, the Western Bandit Cavalry is here!" Liu Ziyu hurried to Zhang Jun's tent.

"How many soldiers and horses?"

"So far, only about a thousand people have been investigated, and they came to the main entrance of our army's northern tent!"

"Increase scouts, report to me at any time!"

"Yes!"

Liu Ziyu hesitated for a moment, then asked: "Mr. Zhang, the western thief is abnormal."

"The enemy is in the dark and we are in the light. You must stop calmly, calm down first, and see what the thief wants to do!"

"Order!"

After the defense of the conflict patrol team, the thousand cavalry arrived in front of the camp in the north of the city.

At this time, the Song army in the camp had woken up from a deep sleep, and the soldiers quickly put on their clothes, and some began to put on their armor.

The Xixia cavalry took out arrows when they were only 30 meters away from the camp.

The head of the arrow is oiled and can be ignited.

In this way, the Xixia people began to launch rockets into the camp.

Hundreds of rockets appeared in the air and fell towards the Song Army barracks.

Some fell on the snow, but it was not immediately extinguished.

Some were attached to stakes and burned.

Others landed on nearby tents and quickly caught fire.

Fortunately, a considerable part of the Song army had already dressed and came out, and the engineer battalion behind, under the arrangement of the officer, quickly picked up the engineer shovel.

Let's shovel snow together and pour it on the fire.

After the Xixia people fired several waves of rockets, before the Song Army cavalry came out, they suddenly turned around and ran away.

They come fast and run faster.

When I protruded, I met a patrol team, but I didn't get entangled with the patrol team. I separated several teams and ran separately.

On such a snowy night, it was very easy for the cavalry to escape.

The fire in the Song Army camp was quickly extinguished.

But here comes the question, are the Xixia cavalry really gone?

No one is sure if the Xixia cavalry is really gone.

At this time, the generals in the Song Army's barracks were worried that there would be other Xixia cavalry, and they ordered everyone to stand ready.

Until dawn, the Xixia people never showed up again.

This incident reached Zhao Ning's ears at dawn.

After Zhao Ning heard this, he couldn't help frowning, and he said, "Brother Li Cha has earned his reputation!"

Sun Fu immediately jumped out and said: "Your Majesty, the western thief is just a clown, naive and stupid, trying to defeat my army of tens of thousands with just a few cavalry, it's a dream!"

Zhao Ning didn't speak. Regarding Sun Fu's comments on the military, he was really powerless to complain.

Chen Gui said: "The western thieves are not trying to raid our barracks, but are harassing them. They chose to attack on a snowy night. We have no way of knowing how many cavalry the western thieves dispatched, because the heavy snow covered all traces of their march."

Zhao Ning said, "Call Li Yu over here."

Li Yu was still sleeping soundly in his tent. He had a dream that Zhao Guan's family was stabbed to death by him. Then he took the head of Zhao Guan's family and returned to Xingqing Mansion. He became the number one hero of Baigao Daxia Kingdom.

As I dreamed and dreamed, I laughed out loud.

Several soldiers who came to call him, saw that he couldn't wake up, so they slapped him.

Li Yu trembled before waking up: "What happened!"

"Your Majesty wants to see you!"

"His Majesty?"

Only then did Li Yu realize that it was all a dream.

After packing up, he went to Zhao Guan's tent.

"I see you, Your Majesty!"

Zhao Ning said: "I ask you, how long will it snow?"

"It's already late October, and I'm afraid it will last for more than ten days and half a month, with different sizes."

"Are you sure?"

"Based on past experience, there can be no mistakes."

Li Yu was not considered an idiot. The generals who fought in ancient times had more or less dabbled in astronomy, geography and other knowledge.

Needless to say, Brother Li Cha is a famous Xixia general.

Fan Zhixu stood up and said, "Your Majesty, Brother Li Cha is trying to make us tired in this way."

Sun Fu immediately reacted, and said: "The Western Thief's trick is so shameless, we should immediately break out and go to Xingqing Mansion, directly attack the city, there is no need to wait like this!"

"Don't worry." Zhao Ning said.

Sun Fu said: "Could it be that we have been stationed here all the time? If the western thieves send these cavalry to harass us tonight or tomorrow night, our army will be exhausted as time goes by."

Zhao Ning asked Li Yu again: "How many rockets does the Xixia Army have?"

Li Yu was stunned for a moment, and said, "Rockets? Not many."

"Not much is how much?"

Li Yu said: "If it is to be equipped, it will not exceed [-]. The oil used on the battlefield is very expensive, and it is naturally incomparable with the amount of fierce fire oil in the Song Dynasty."

"You go down."

"Your Majesty resigns." Li Yu was so happy that he didn't have to face the tyrant anymore, so he went down.

"The Xixia people have a limited number of rockets, what else can they do after they are used up?" Zhao Ning asked seriously.

Chapter 1092 Brother Richard's Purpose (Part [-])

Sun Fu said: "Your Majesty, I think it's very simple to deal with the cavalry. It's too simple. You only need to dig some trenches outside the camp and place horse-repelling posts, and that's enough!"

"Sun Qing, go get me some mutton soup."

"His Majesty……"

"Go."

"Isn't this still being discussed..."

"It's okay, we'll wait for you, go get me some mutton soup first."

"Yes, Your Majesty must wait for the minister to come back. The minister has a good plan to defeat Brother Richard's cavalry."

Sun Fu went out happily.

Zhao Ning continued: "Brother Li Cha wanted to harass us at night, put pressure on us, and interfere with our judgment. We don't know exactly how many cavalry Brother Li Cha sent. There could be many."

Immediately, he changed the subject and asked again: "But Li Yu said that the Xixia people don't have many rockets. Once there are no rockets, this kind of attack on the camp will become painless. Could it be that Brother Li Cha is just scaring people?" Just to scare us?"

"Brother Li Cha may have someone behind him." Yang Yizhong said.

"What backhand?" Zhao Ning looked at Yang Yizhong and asked seriously.

It fell into silence again, and the fire in the tent was burning brightly.

Yang Yizhong said: "The scouts report that brother Li Cha is gathering an army in Jingzhou, he will definitely use harassment to exhaust us, and then the army will press in and attack us."

Zhao Ning nodded, what Yang Yizhong said also made sense.

Make the enemy tired, and then attack while the enemy is tired.

Using cavalry like Brother Li Cha to play at night like this really makes it impossible to determine his specific troop strength.

The most important thing is that as long as the Xixia cavalry comes a few more times at night, everyone in the Song army camp will know.

Once everyone knows about it, they will think about it at night and disturb people's sleep.

And one day after getting familiar with the route, it is not impossible for the Xixia infantry to come with the cavalry and throw thunder into the camp.

With an army of [-], it is indeed not easy to achieve airtight defense.

It is not a good idea to temporarily build another layer of fences around the perimeter.

When a new fence is built, people must be sent to defend it, otherwise the Xixia people will destroy the fence again.

To defend airtightly, it is necessary to send more troops to the fence that can surround tens of thousands of people.

Chen Gui said: "I also think this is the reason. Brother Li Cha now wants to concentrate his forces to fight us, but he will not bite the bullet and fight, but use his own advantages."

"What is Li Cha's advantage?"

"He is very familiar with the winter and terrain of Lingzhou, which is his greatest advantage."

In the era of cold weapons, familiarity with the terrain can indeed occupy a great advantage.

In the era when there was no navigation, no cars or trains, everything depended on the feet. If you bend a little farther, it will consume a lot of physical strength of the soldiers.
