~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The smoke of gunpowder has not cleared, and the sound of killing is still blazing. Ye Lirong, who was hunting under the big banner, cast one last glance in the direction of Pojunzhai, raised his arm and made a stroke forward: "Let's go."
The horns whine, the flags move, thousands of horses raise their hooves, and dust and smoke billow.
The exhausted 15,000 infantry troops, plus the carriages and horse baggage, were lined up in a twisted, long snake shape that could not be seen at a glance. Regardless of whether they have participated in the war before, all Xia soldiers have only one word to describe them - tired! Either physically or mentally. This battle was really frightening and frustrating.
The shadow of the sun was setting in the west, and the cold light shone on this decadent army, giving people a feeling of the setting sun and the end of the world. Tens of thousands of Xia soldiers dragged their heavy steps and moved forward numbly. Looking back frequently, the tragic scene of smoke and corpses on the long slopes of the mountains was like the snow on the top of Helan Mountain, which was rubbed into the throat and chilled. To the bone
When all Xia Bing thought everything was over, little did they know that this was just the beginning
First, a Xia soldier suddenly stopped marching. He ignored the smoke that choked his throat. He opened his mouth and pointed in the direction of Pojunzhai. He was speechless. Afterwards, more and more Xia soldiers stopped and formed a crowd. They all looked in the same direction with the same expression - their eyes were bulging, their mouths were wide open, and they made a sound, as if they had swallowed a big duck egg and been choked. .
The commotion in the army quickly aroused Ye Lirong's alertness. When his eyes were cast in the same direction as the soldiers, the expression of the commander-in-chief was the same as that of thousands of ordinary soldiers under his command.
The outer wall of Pojunzhai is in ruins. At the same moment, it collapsed like an earthquake. Crushed into dust. The next moment, countless armored knights and sturdy war horses emerged from the fog, jumped over the ditch, and poured down the hillside.
The iron current is rolling, as fast as the wind, the ground is shaking and the mountains are shaking, and the sound is terrifying.
Lead the way. The black horse rider who charged forward was none other than Yue Yun, holding his iron cone spear high, eyes blazing with anger and murderous intent.
The cavalry commander who was half a horse behind Yue Yun was wearing a black lacquered mountain armor with an iron mace hanging from his waist and holding a Daning pen gun. Under the brim of the shiny black iron helmet, his eyes were as cold as ice, and his evil spirit was revealed - it was none other than the commander-in-chief of the Western Expedition, Yue Fei.
? Almost in no particular order with the two tiger generals, father and son, they are keeping pace with each other, a general wearing vermilion lacquer armor. It was Xu Qing.
The three generals of the world, one in front and two behind, are like an extremely sharp arrow, moving forward with lightning speed. After this iron triangle that is enough to penetrate the golden cave iron. It was a huge and astonishing cavalry wedge formation, with a condescending and violent momentum that spread thousands of miles. It is enough to tear any army to pieces.
Ye Lirong's mouth finally closed, but he almost bit his tongue - at this moment, the Xia army general really wanted to cut off his tongue. Thousands of cavalry were ambushed in this small military stronghold. Where did these men and horses come from? Falling from the sky or emerging from the ground - no good! I'm afraid it really came out of the ground!
Ye Lirong finally woke up, but it was too late.
That¡¯s right, this cavalry army, which assembled three brigades and totaled 2,500 troops, emerged from the ground.
Before Cha Ge assembled his army and prepared to attack Dingzhou, Yue Fei led his army to this small village first. The whole army started working together, and in just half a day, they dug out basements of various sizes in various abandoned huts. Afterwards, the entire army, including men and horses, hid underground. The people were silent, the horses were holding their heads, quietly waiting for that earth-shattering moment.
Due to the rush of time, it was impossible to achieve perfect concealment. Not to mention anything else, the excavated soil was piled up in the house and there was no time to transport it out. Xia Jun's sentinels who were clearing the way ahead were not blind and would definitely enter the village to inspect. If the whole army just stays underground like an ostrich, the result can be imagined that it will be easy to catch a turtle in an urn.
The only way is to send a ground force to defend the village. This ground force cannot be large in number - in fact, in this small village, if the troops are deployed, they cannot accommodate many people.
The ground troops are light and the underground troops are dark. The purpose of the troops on the surface was to make the commander of the Xia Army relax his guard, so that he could be caught off guard. Imagine that an enemy army is leisurely passing by the stronghold. Suddenly a large army emerges from the mountainside. Thousands of horses roll up the hillside, swords and guns reflect the cold sun. Even an army of 100,000 people will collapse.
Yue Fei¡¯s original intention was to raid Cha Ge¡¯s army, but Cha Ge did not want to fight with them at all. He only used a partial force to guard the Zhai Zhai. The army quickly broke away, and throughout the march, he remained vigilant against the Chinese army in the Zhai Zhai. Under such circumstances, a forced assault would not be effective, and might even trap thousands of horses. Therefore, Yue Fei finally let Brother Cha go and set his sights on the next general who would lead the Xia Army reinforcements.
Ye Lirong came, and as Yue Fei expected, launched an attack on PojunzhaiRound after round of crazy attacks. When the war was at its worst, even Xu Qing, a tough-minded man, couldn't stand it anymore. He cried and begged to withdraw the ground troops as soon as possible: "Fifth brother! It's just to lure the enemy. Just pretend to be defeated and retreat. Why should the soldiers do this?" Fight to the death and shed blood in vain?¡±
Yue Fei was expressionless and unmoved. He only asked Xu Qing coldly: "For a veteran like Ye Lirong, will he not be able to tell whether you are really defeated or feigned defeat?"
Xu Qing gritted his teeth, silently clenched his fist, and punched the mud wall hard to create a punch hole.
"Either you are undefeated, or you must be defeated!" Yue Fei's knuckles holding the iron gun gradually turned white, and his words were as cold as ice, "The blood of the soldiers of my Twelfth Division will never be shed in vain!"
After painful suffering, a long wait, and finally the moment to break out of the cocoon and shine the sword.
A hundred steps ahead, there are tens of thousands of Xia troops who are terrified and in chaos; three hundred steps away, under the banner of the Chinese army, is Ye Lirong, whose face is ashen.
Yue Fei raised one hand high and pierced the sky with his Daning pen spear: "The blood of the soldiers of my twelfth division will never be shed in vain!"
"The blood of the soldiers of our Twelfth Division will never be shed in vain!" Two thousand five hundred cavalrymen charged at the bullfight, their voices stopped, and more than two thousand cavalry spears were raised in unison, like a steel jungle.
"First kill Ye Lirong, then capture Brother Cha!" Yue Fei held the iron spear horizontally, holding it flat, with the handle under his ribs, and knocked the horse's belly with both feet. Accelerate sprint.
"First kill Ye Lirong, then capture Brother Cha!" Thousands of voices echoed in unison. Thousands of horses raised dust, thousands of spears stabbed, and thousands of armies were swept away.
The setting sun is like blood, the red clouds are in the sky, and the mountains, rivers and earth seem to be covered with a layer of blood. The revengeful army pouring down from the high slope was like a giant bloody blade, ruthlessly cutting into the Xia army's chaotic formation, which was already in a state of collapse.
It's like cutting through waves. Like cutting through silk with a sharp knife, Xia Jun, who had no formation and lost his soul, collapsed at the first touch. He was still a human one moment when he was running slowly, and turned into mud the next moment. No soldier in his right mind dared to block this torrent of iron cavalry. There is no solid formation, no tough nerve, any army. Underneath the torrent of iron hoofs is all scum.
"Using mental arithmetic but not preparedness, using elite troops to cripple the division, using anger to destroy the enemy's courage, and using a cluster of spears to break the enemy's front, this is the result.
Yue Fei¡¯s goal is very clear - Ye Lirong!
Kill or capture Ye Lirong alive. It will be the key to winning this battle quickly.
Wherever the wedge-shaped cavalry formation passed, there was almost no need to use spears. The earth-shattering aura alone made countless Xia soldiers run away with their heads in their hands. Some Xia army cavalry tried to intercept, but no matter how hard they urged the horses. It was difficult for them to get close, they were shaken and staggered. I couldn't hold the weapon in my hand and it fell all over the floor.
The sharpest iron triangle in the cavalry formation, Yue Fei, Yue Yun, and Xu Qing, charged all the way, almost without losing a single blow, and penetrated 200 steps deep into the enemy formation without encountering any decent obstruction. It wasn't until fifty steps away from Xia's army that more than a hundred guards rushed to fight.
These more than a hundred guards are all elite iron kites of the Xia army, but they cannot be called iron kites at this moment. The reason is very simple. They are not heavily armored and their horses are not equipped with equipment. Can a cavalry without heavy armor still be called an iron kite?
The iron kite's heavy armor weighs more than fifty kilograms. It is impossible to carry heavy armor all day long when marching outside of war. They are usually placed under the care of specially equipped support soldiers to prepare war horses for transportation. In the case of a sudden attack, there was no time to go into battle, let alone form a battle formation. This is the reason why people are most afraid of ambushes in ancient wars - the opponent is wearing armor and fighting hard, and he is fighting almost naked (only wearing inner armor, it is no different from being shirtless on the battlefield), so he will lose half the battle without fighting.
The racing horse was wrapped in a whirlwind and crashed into the Xia army's cavalry escort. An iron-cone spear with a length of two feet, stretched and retracted, strung together three bloody men, and threw it in the air, spraying blood rain all over the sky - ¡ªQianqi is at the front, the triangle is the sharpest, Yue Yun!
The Xia Army guards tried their best to intercept, but Yue Yun's charge was too fierce and too fast. When many Xia soldiers had just raised their weapons, Yue Yun was still in front of them. By the time they slashed down, Yue Yun's riding shadow had already rushed ten steps away. outside.
There are still thirty steps away from the Chinese army's banner.
Yue Yun's iron cone spear shook and sent three spears flying. The barrel of the spear swept across and knocked away two Xia soldiers. There was another rider, who seemed to be a general. The moment his gun was shot down, he quickly drew his sword and slashed at the back of Yue Yun who was rushing past him. At this time, Yue Yun was dealing with a new batch of opponents in front and had no time to take care of the rear.
The long sword was still one foot away from the back, and a Daning pen gun came like lightning, piercing the heart with a shot, freezing the sword of that general Xia forever.
With the iron triangle and wedge formation, each cavalry only needs to focus on dealing with the enemies in front of them. The enemies on the left and right will be dealt with by their comrades on both sides. Thousands of lances were fired, and in the blink of an eye, the Xia army's cavalry were flying in all directions like fallen leaves in the strong wind, falling layer by layer in the blood mist in the sky.
??Twenty steps Yue Yun breathed out fishy breath, his face was covered with blood, and his Dangqing armor given by the emperor himself was already covered with marks from swords, spears and axes. The war horses sprinted here, and with the layers of resistance, their momentum was exhausted. At this time, the Xia army's large army began to move.
Ye Lirong is about to run away.
Yue Yun's eyes widened in anger, he hung the iron cone gun on the victory hook, pulled a long, spindle-shaped leather bag from behind the saddle with his backhand, and shook it open violently. It turned out to be a bag full of heavy javelins.
Yue Yun moved the fusiform leather bag in front of the saddle, quickly drew the spear with both hands, and threw it in turn. The javelin was as fast as lightning, and the spears and spears followed each other in an endless stream. The Xia Army cavalry blocking the front fell like dominoes, until Ye Lirong's figure was exposed. At this time, Yue Yun's javelin happened to be exhausted
Ye Lirong was about to ride away when he suddenly heard a thunderous roar and looked back in shock - an iron cone gun stained red with blood, flashing a coquettish red light under the setting sun, with the faint sound of wind and thunder, With the power to penetrate all obstacles, it breaks through the air and arrives.
Ye Lirong's personal bodyguard, the Xia Army soldier holding a large banner in his hand, was also extraordinary. At the last moment, he galloped on his horse and blocked the general in front of him with a flagpole as thick as a bowl.
Poof! Wood chips were flying, and the sharp tip of the iron cone gun was as wide as a palm. Embedded in the flagpole, the flagpole is teetering on the edge of breaking. Ye Lirong escaped.
Ye Lirong had just calmed down from the shock. Before he could take a breath, his vision suddenly dimmed, and disaster fell from the sky - the broken flagpole fell straight down, knocking Ye Lirong to the ground along with his horse and man.
Ye Lirong fell down and could not get up again, and the army was in chaos. Countless horse hooves trampled over him
On May 18th, at the end of the Shen Dynasty, the reinforcements of the Xia army were all killed in the chaos of the army. Fifteen thousand Xia troops collapsed.
¡¡
At the end of the Youshi hour, the sky was dark, and we were at the foot of Dingzhou City. The sound of killing gradually subsided.
The Xia army attacked and killed for a whole day. They attacked the city several times and were repulsed by the defenders several times. Above and below the city, there were corpses of Chinese soldiers lying on their pillows. There were more Xia Jun, piled up to a height of five feet.
As a veteran general, Brother Cha has a fairly clear understanding of the situation between the enemy and ourselves, and he does not expect to defeat Dingzhou in one battle. There is still more than half of the January period. take it easy.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Suddenly there was a commotion in the rear camp, and then even the rear army was in commotion. Brother Cha was furious and was about to order the guards to go and see what was going on. He saw a commander who was left behind at the camp with a gray face, rolling and crawling towards him, and fell in front of his horse.
"Marshal Du! Something bad has happenedthe troops led by General Yeli were ambushed and defeated by the Chinese army. Nowit's"
Brother Cha was shocked and angry, and whipped his head: "What are you talking about? Say it quickly!"
The commander let the blood trickle down his face and said sadly: "The nearly 10,000 remaining soldiers of our army are being driven by the Chinese army into the stronghold"
Brother Cha¡¯s strong body swayed and he almost fell off his horse. He looked up to the sky and lamented: "Heaven will destroy the Great Xia!"
At the same time, in Dingzhou City, Wang Gui, half-dressed with dye, opened his mouth full of red teeth, pointed his halberd at the chaotic enemy camp, and laughed loudly: "God bless the great China!"
The starry sky in Helan Mountain is deep and high. Although there is no bright moon, there are many stars like chess pieces, and the visibility is still clear.
At the foot of Helan Mountain, there are dots of firelight, as dense as stars. In the sky and on the ground, fire and starlight complement each other, illuminatingblood and death.
An army that had been fighting for a whole day, exhausted and paralyzed as mud, just waiting to return to camp to rest and recuperate, was attacked from the side by an army driven by swords and guns and running desperately. The consequences can be imagined.
The two armies collided heavily, each fighting for survival and killing each other involuntarily. Until the end, I couldn't stop even if I wanted to. In the darkness, all those swaying around are "enemies". In order to survive, you can only strike first. The fewer people around you, the safer you will be until you are killed by enemies or colleagues who have the same idea
The Dingzhou defenders opened the door to counterattack from north to south; more than 2,000 cavalry of the Twelfth Division spread out in a net from south to north, cutting off the entire battlefield's southward retreat. The Xia army was defeated and had only three choices: stay where you are and kill each other, and you will survive if you are lucky; go west, escape into the vast Helan Mountains, and narrowly escape death; go east, jump into the Yellow River, and if you are lucky, you can save your life. No matter which choice is made, it is enough to eliminate more than 90% of Xia Jun's soldiers. Xia Jun is finished!
Chage, the marshal of the Xia army, originally had a chance to escape, but he refused to protect his escape and stood still under the banner, as if waiting for something. Brother Cha is not stupid, nor is he impatient, but he understands in his heart that after such a disastrous defeat, the entire country's military strength has been wiped out, and the country is in danger. For such a serious crime, even if he returns to Xingqing Mansion, he will not be able to escape death. In this case, why not die happily on the battlefield and let the Chinese army see that there are men in the Party.
Killing in the darkIn the middle of the night, a group of cavalry holding torches galloped from the south and appeared in front of Cha Ge and a group of Xia army guards.
The two sides were fifty steps apart, and they were facing each other from a distance.
A general rode out and said loudly: "A certain person is the commander-in-chief of China's Western Expedition Army, and so is Yue Fei! Is he the King of Jin in front of you?"
Brother Cha pushed aside the guards and rode out, and responded with a loud voice: "It's Brother Cha! Yue Fei, winner or loser, I have nothing to say. Since you and I are destined to meet each other, let's have a king versus king battle. How about a fight to the death? How about not telling Brother Cha to look down on the Chinese?"
Yue Fei burst out laughing: "Since the King of Jin has such an elegant attitude, how dare Fei disobey him?"
Brother Cha has made up his mind to die. Before he dies, he still has a chance to win over the enemy commander, so he is really happy. He stretched out his hand to take the big ax presented by the guard, and laughed loudly: "There is no general with five swords under my axe. Let's see how many swords General Yue can hold." He knocked the horse's belly violently, and the divine horse under his crotch was already in Qinghai. Cong, sensing his master's fierce fighting spirit, Hui Yuyu let out a long hiss and rushed out like an arrow.
Yue Feian sat on his horse and took some time to rest. He took off the Daning pen gun from the winning hook and stuck it heavily on the ground. He took off the big bow with his backhand, quickly took the arrow in his hand, stretched the bow and nocked the arrow, and drew the string to shoot quickly.
Whoosh¡ª¡ª
The wolf-fang arrow travels between the starlight and the firelight, as if chasing the passing light.
Brother Cha saw Yue Fei picking up his bow and shooting arrows. He also thought of reining in his horse to dodge or block with an axe. But what he never expected was that the arrows came so fast and penetrated so powerfully that he had no time to dodge, let alone block.
"History of the Song Dynasty" records that Yue Fei could draw a bow of 300 kilograms, which was the highest record in the Song Dynasty. Han Shizhong, Li Cheng, Han Chang and others can also only draw this bow power, no matter how high it is, there is no record. Although there is no record that Yue Fei is a marksman, if his target is - in the darkness, the arrow is like a meteor, and the force is like lightning, hitting Cha Ge's Qinghai Cong right in the middle.
The horse¡¯s head was bleeding, Brother Cha threw his ax and fell, unable to get up for a long time.
Shoot the man first, shoot the horse!
Brother Cha finally got up and was about to reach out to draw the knife, but the sharp tip of the gun was already pressed against his throat.
Yue Fei looked calm, as if he was just practicing at the shooting range, and said calmly: "How is it?"
"You win." Brother Cha let go of the handle of the knife, quickly stretched out his hands, gripped the barrel of the gun tightly, and opened his mouth full of blood to smile miserably, "I don't even bother to escape, so how can I be captured by you?"
His arms were stretched, his strong body suddenly moved forward, the tip of the gun broke his throat, and blood splashed
The death of King Chage of Jin and the defeat of the 50,000 Xia army not only caused the collapse of the Xia Kingdom's great pillars and the destruction of the last mobile force, but also made it clear that the century-old Xia Kingdom was coming to an end. - Didn't finish reading?
