In the face of the attack of the Xia army's heavy siege equipment, the Song army suffered heavy losses for a while, but Wang Kai still insisted, because only by holding on until dark, the Song army had the hope of evacuating, for how to evacuate from the front line, Wang Kai had already planned for this, as long as it could hold out until dark, Wang Kai was sure to withdraw part of the army, but only part but not all.
Under the heavy attack of the Xia army, the Song army still held on despite heavy losses, the sky was gradually dark, during this time, the Xia army never used other means of attack except for long-range attacks, although Li Wu also wanted to launch a fierce attack on the Song army, but Li Wu also did not want his troops to suffer too much damage.
"Lord Wang, according to your order, the three thousand death cavalry army has been assembled."
Qin Hu said to Li Wu.
Li Wu looked at the direction of the Song army's large array and said, "Order the army to stand by and be ready to attack at any time. ” "Yes, Lord Wang" Qin Hu said; "Lord Wang, the last general thinks that this late-night attack is not good for our army, and the Song army is probably prepared for this."
"Of course, the Song army will be prepared, and they are also preparing how to escape back to the inner countryside."
Li Wu sneered.
"What the prince means is that Song Jun is going to flee tonight," Qin Hu asked puzzled.
"Of course, this is Wang Kai's last chance, if the Song army doesn't retreat tonight, then there will be no chance in the future."
As Li Wu said, tonight is the last opportunity for the Song army to retreat eastward, once it loses that Wang Kai's subordinates, I am afraid that it will be difficult to escape, if the Song army does not choose to retreat, tomorrow morning the Xia army will definitely launch a full-scale attack, and the Song army will really have no power to parry.
Time passed little by little, the three thousand dead soldiers of the Xia army were ready to attack, these three thousand dead soldiers were led by Qin Hu himself, just when the Xia army was about to attack, the front of the Song army's large array suddenly could not burn a raging fire, and the Xia army was forced to stop preparing for the attack.
"Lord Wang, look," Qin Hu walked up to Li Wu and said.
"I see it."
Li Wu said; "Wang Kai's move is really ruthless, use fire to block the attack of our army, look at this fire, he burned all the vehicles and large bows and crossbows."
"Lord Wang, what should we do now," Qin Hu asked.
Li Wu decisively ordered: "Order all departments to rest and recuperate, and pursue the Song army tomorrow." ” On the other side, after the fire rose, Wang Kai personally led the last group of Song troops to leave the front line, as Li Wu said, Wang Kai burned everything that could not be taken away, forming a wall of fire to block the attack of the Xia army, of course, this is not the end, because the fire will always be extinguished, in order to prevent the Xia army from pursuing late at night, Wang Kai personally led a large army behind the palace, and laid an ambush Once the Xia army dares to attack rashly, it is bound to be attacked by the Song army's fierce counterattack.
The night passed quickly, and the sky was not yet completely bright, and in the ambush circle of the Song army, the adjutant general said to Wang Kai: "General, the sky is almost dawn." ” "Order all the departments to discard all their baggage and evacuate to the inner countryside as quickly as possible."
Wang Kai decisively issued a military order.
The Song army that followed Wang Kai to ambush down was only 10,000 people, after Wang Kai issued a military order, the 10,000 Song soldiers discarded all the armor, grain and grass and only each person withdrew to the east with a war knife, the purpose of Wang Kai's evacuation was the inner township, the inner countryside is located in the east of Zhejiang Water has belonged to the realm of Dengzhou, here is the second line of defense of the western defense line of the Song army, and the inner countryside is an important stronghold on this defense line.
Of course, Li Wu refused to let go of such an opportunity to eliminate Wang Kai, so when the day was just dawning, Li Wu led the iron cavalry to set off to pursue the Song army, and soon Li Wu led the army to kill the original defense line of the Song army, at this time the fire had been extinguished, leaving a line of ashes on the defense line of several miles, when the Xia cavalry crossed this ash outside, many Xia army knights fell off their horses.
It turned out that the Song army dug a large number of traps before evacuating, Wang Kai had already guessed that Li Wu would lead the army to pursue, this is a small gift for Li Wu, after the loss of dozens of cavalry, Li Wu did not dare to pursue rashly, can only wait for the follow-up infantry reinforcements, tens of thousands of infantry lined up in a line little by little groping forward, it took about an hour to find out all the traps, after crossing the trap formation, Li Wu continued to lead the Xia cavalry to pursue.
The 40,000 Xia army iron cavalry was like a steel torrent all the way to the east, after chasing out more than ten miles, the Xia army iron cavalry suddenly stopped its pace, and on the avenue ahead, a Song sergeant was sitting on the ground and was drinking wine and eating meat; Li Wu had been staring at him, and due to the loss of the horse trap in front of him, Li Wu had become very cautious at this time.
"Lord Wang, do you want to go over," Qin Hu said in a gesture of wiping his neck.
"Send a few cavalrymen up and kill him."
After careful consideration, Li Wu ordered.
After Li Wu issued the military order, several Xia army knights immediately rode out, when the Xia army cavalry was about to approach the Song soldiers, the Song soldiers suddenly lit a medicine twist, and then there was a loud "boom" Several cavalry of the Xia army and the Song soldiers who took orders turned into a cloud of blood mist, and all disappeared; Seeing all this, Li Wu's face was about to drip with anger.
Li Wu ordered angrily: "Continue the pursuit" At this time, Li Wu was completely angry, the Xia army iron cavalry continued to pursue, when he was about to catch up with the Song army, the same scene appeared again, Li Wu had obtained information before, the Song army carried a large number of earth-shaking thunder, but how many Li Wu did not know, so Li Wu saw a Song soldier alone to meet himself, Li Wu was blocked again, although Li Wu still wanted to send someone to test it, but there were no soldiers willing to take risks, these soldiers are not afraid of death, But they were afraid that they would die without a whole corpse, not to mention that such a scene had already happened just now.
After Li Wu and the 40,000 Xia army iron cavalry were blocked for half an hour, Li Wu Lishuo rode his horse and rushed towards the Song soldiers alone, Li Wu's performance made Qin Hu jump, and Qin Hu immediately ordered: "Quick, protect the prince" The Song sergeant saw the Xia army rushing towards him, turned his head and ran; Li Wu realized that he had been fooled, Li Wu rushed to the direction of Zheshui and killed him, at this time most of the soldiers who retreated from the Song army had crossed Zheshui, and when Li Wu killed the riverbank, he could just see Wang Kai leading the last group of Song soldiers to board the boat away from the riverbank, and behind Li Wu, 40,000 Xia army iron cavalry followed.
Li Wu stuck his horse lance on the ground and turned over, came to the river, washed his face, stood up, looked at the Song military ship that was far away, and said: "Hate, hate, the boiled duck flew away." ” "Lord Wang, Wang Kai is not easy to deal with."
Qin Hu walked to Li Wu's side and said.
"With this person guarding the defense line of Zheshui, I am afraid it will be difficult for my Xia army to break through," Li Wu said angrily; "I regret not killing him in Shangnan City."
"Lord Wang, what should we do next?"
Qin Hu asked.
"The herald ordered the army to camp on the spot and rest on the spot, waiting for follow-up reinforcements, this king has already transferred troops from Tongguan, and after the follow-up soldiers and horses arrive, they will attack again."
"Yes, Lord Wang" The second is more presented, continue to ask for support, ask for recommendations:
