Chapter 331: Take Ganzhou

Pang Wanchun's light cavalry is famous for riding and shooting. The cavalry is one man and two horses, and they are all low grassland horses.

There are also two thousand cavalrymen, and heavy cavalrymen are also one person and two horses. A grassland horse is usually used to ride and carry things. A tall horse is used to charge during combat.

The armor was made of the Iron Buddha Tu of the Great Jin Kingdom. At that time, the main force of the heavy cavalry of the Great Jin Kingdom was annihilated in a battle and a large amount of armor was seized. At the same time, many elite cavalry of the original Liao Kingdom and Jin Kingdom were adapted.

Originally, Pang Wanchun still opposed it at that time, thinking that this was too risky. If these people had ulterior motives, wouldn’t it be troublesome?

But Wu Yong insisted on using it, but he did not expect that these cavalrymen would be quite obedient and endure hardships after they arrived.

The truth is positive, the soldier doesn’t care who is the general. He can give money and eat enough to fight for whom. Who is not the one who is willing to work hard for?

After detailed understanding, it turns out that there is no military pay in their army, so the rewards are all snatched by themselves, and they will be hungry and full.

Under the city of Ganzhou, Deputy General Tang Bin led 3,000 light cavalry to arrive first.

What caught my eye was a low city, with the rammed earth walls that were only two meters high, and the walls of wealthy families in the Central Plains were higher than this.

Woo, woo, the low horn sounded.

"Reported that the enemy soldiers in the city rushed out of the east gate, and there were about three thousand people."

According to information, the total force of Ganzhou Prefecture is no more than 6,000. This is the remnant force of Xixia and the final struggle. Taking Ganzhou will be completed.

The forward whistle came over to report to Tang Bin.

Tang Bin used his hand to watch the cavalry and saw the chasing weapons rushing out of Ganzhou City and there were no armor. This was a temporary team formed by herders. Don’t underestimate the herders. They are superb riding skills and have strong combat power.

"Tele to retreat."

The whimpering horn sounded, and the three thousand cavalry slowly turned around and ran eastward.

The Xixia cavalry in Ganzhou Prefecture were a little confused: "Song Gou is weak and can't let them run away, so chase him."

One runs in front and the other chases in back.

Tang Bin was very happy to see the enemy being deceived, and a fierce archery battle began.

The light cavalry used a composite horned archer wolf-tooth arrow to shoot behind the high bridge saddle.

The Jin soldiers in Ganzhou Prefecture were stunned. The bows and arrows of the cavalry in front were more powerful than their bows and arrows and had a longer range.

Moreover, these cavalry use nothing more than padded saddles, which are light and flexible, and are very suitable for these herdsmen who grazed all year round to ride.

But their bows were too weak and soft, with an effective range of only fifty or sixty meters.

After chasing for only two miles, five or six hundred people were caught.

The Western Xia soldiers also became angry and became fierce. They screamed without firing arrows, but they lay on the horse's back and charged forward.

Tang Bin smiled slightly: "Give them some little melons."

The cavalry behind hung bows and arrows, took out the small melon with black iron shells, pulled the ring apart, and threw it backwards.

Not many were lost, about four or five hundred. When the Western Xia cavalry rushed up, they could not feel something was wrong, but it was too late to turn around immediately.

Boom boom boom boom, thick smoke rose everywhere, flying shrapnel hitting the soft horse's belly.

Thousands of cavalrymen were wailing on their horses and wailing everywhere.

These cavalrymen in Ganzhou Prefecture lived for most of their lives. The first time they saw this kind of thing, out of fear of strange things, turned around and ran away.

Tang Bin laughed: "Hahaha, a group of soft-legged shrimps, I thought it was so powerful."

"Brothers, bite it and seize something."

The light cavalry rushed up roaring, but this time they chased hard, making it more convenient to shoot arrows in front, and the feathered arrows flew around.

The Xixia cavalry fell off the horse and was like dumplings chasing the Xixia cavalry to Ganzhou City before he stopped.

Tang Bin ordered the soldiers to collect the spoils, pick up all the good ones, decent weapons, intact armor, and excellent war horses.

When Tang Bin led his troops back, the team behind him made all the jealous. He led five or six hundred excellent war horses.

You should know that Xixia horses are very expensive in the Central Plains. You can’t buy a horse without forty or fifty cents.

The reward for this battle is enough for ordinary soldiers to buy a house in the countryside to live a peaceful life.

Of course, more than a hundred soldiers were killed and slept in the desolate desert of Ganzhou Prefecture forever.

Tang Bin came over to report: "General Pang, the city walls of Ganzhou City are low and have few troops, but there are quite a lot of racquets outside the city, and there are at least dozens of them."

Pang Wanchun nodded: "It's not difficult to see this situation in Ganzhou, but it's easy to attack the city, but it's difficult to attack the heart. Set up camp and attack the city tomorrow."

"yes."

An army of nearly 20,000 people set up camp and stationed down a place more than ten miles away from Ganzhou City.

After sleeping until midnight, several important generals including Tang Bin, Zhong Ying and others were awakened.

Pang Wanchun shook the spear in his hand: "Tang Bin, guard the camp and strictly prevent the enemy from attacking. I will lead the main force to rob the city."

Zhong Ying was also confused: "Didn't it meant that the city was siege?"

"The headquarter sent an insider to the city. The search for Xixia soldiers in the city is too crazy. The insider decided to open the city gate tonight. He must act overnight and fight down to reduce casualties."

"yes."

The military orders were as high as a mountain, and Tang Bin immediately took over the defense of the military camp.

Pang Wanchun and Zhong Ying led two thousand heavy cavalry and eight thousand light cavalry marched outside the south gate of Ganzhou Prefecture in darkness.

The wild wolves in the Gobi Desert howled from afar. They like to join in the fun. Humans fight each other, and the one who is cheaper is the wild wolves.

A few miles away, the army was quietly hiding in the night, and suddenly the torches on the city gate shook a few times.

Pang Wanchun's unusual news, although he knew that the city was sending the most elite intelligence department and led by Shi Qian himself, he was always right to be careful.

A team of thousands of people went up first and rushed directly into the city gate.

"Kill." A fierce battle sounded from the city gate, and the cavalry had already controlled the city gate.

Behind Pang Wanchun, Zhong Ying led the army into the city.

The battle in the city was extremely fierce, and the Xixia soldiers were still resisting tenaciously.

But their situation was hopeless, and the sporadic battles were soon destroyed by Pang Wanchun's army.

The sky in the east was white, and red clouds appeared faintly.

Shi Qian's thin figure appeared in front of Pang Wanchun, and Pang Wanchun turned over and dismounted and gave a deep gift.

"Brother Shi Qian, thank you for your help."

Shi Qian waved his hand: "It is appropriate for a family to not speak two families. We also want to set out in the northwest, and hope that General Pang will send a cavalry to escort it."

"Don't worry, I'll make arrangements now."

Pang Wanchun immediately arranged a team of thousands of people to escort dozens of people.

Shi Qian was not popular in Chao Gai's army, and many generals looked down on these special operations, but Shi Qian was really capable. After several battles, they used surprise troops and made extraordinary achievements, reducing huge casualties.
