- Under the city where the army arrived, the Xingqing Mansion suspension bridge had been raised.
The Xixia soldiers and horses on the city were as if they were facing a powerful enemy, and there were many catapults placed on the city wall. Although the range of trebuchets is generally not far, the range can be increased a lot by being located high up.
Chao Yong led a few people to the nearby area to see what was going on in Xingqing Mansion.
Sun Li looked at the moat under the city, shook his head and said: "It seems that the moat is more than ten feet wide. I didn't expect the Xixia people to build it so steeply."
Liu Qi said: "I'm afraid it will take a day to fill in the moat."
Chao Yong smiled and said: "I have already asked about the situation in Xingqing Mansion. This is easy. Just find a small boat and get close to the city wall to blow open the city wall. Then use a big boat across the moat to act as a pontoon."
When everyone heard this, their eyes lit up.
Han Shizhong asked doubtfully: "Can a big ship enter the moat?"
Chao Yong nodded and said: "Just open the flood control gate between Tanglai Canal and the moat."
When everyone was checking where to bomb the city, dust suddenly rose in the east, and some dull sounds came from the east.
Liu Qi said: "There is a cavalry attack."
"Return to the formation, the people guarding the city are not stupid."
Chao Yong drove his horse back.
The soldiers and horses of Daliang were arrayed outside the south gate. If the Xixia people dared to open the south gate, Chao Yong would not hesitate to lead his troops to attack the south gate and storm in.
With the powerful penetrating power of the divine arm crossbow, as soon as the city gate is opened, no matter how many people are blocking it inside, it will kill the gods if the gods block it, and the Buddha if it blocks the Buddha.
"It's a pity that the Xixia people came from the east and didn't give Daliang a chance to grab the door.
Chao Yong and others had just returned to the formation when the Xixia cavalry came roaring towards them.
Xiao Heda took the lead. Seeing that the formation of the beam was not very tight, he immediately shouted to the deputy general: "You lead five hundred cavalry to attack the flank of the enemy's formation. Keep the distance wider and be careful with firearms."
"yes"
The deputy general is not afraid either. Immediately led the cavalry under his command to charge towards the Daliang military formation.
Chao Yong looked at the sparse Xixia cavalry and said with a smile: "It seems that they are preventing us from using fire thunder, so we will let them see the magic arm crossbow. Everyone turn to the right."
After giving the order, all the soldiers turned to the right neatly and faced the oncoming cavalry.
Chao Yong also rode up to the front of the formation.
Although the cavalry charged, the ground was shaking, but when the soldiers of Daliang saw the motionless prince in front of the formation, they immediately became more confident and did not panic at all.
Chao Yong, however, stared closely at the enemy general who was the first to charge. Three hundred steps, two hundred steps, one hundred steps.
"shoot"
A flash of black light flashed, and the enemy general's armor was penetrated, leaving a bloody hole in his chest.
"ah"
The soldiers behind saw an iron arrow shot from the back of their general, leaving a bloody hole, and were about to dodge. The iron arrow had already arrived. Although it consumed a lot of kinetic energy when it penetrated the iron armor, the huge impact still knocked the cavalry behind them off their horses.
At the same time, the divine arm crossbows in the hands of the first row of soldiers also came out of the string, and each sharp arrow instantly became a deadly artifact.
Knights were shot off their horses one by one. At a distance of a hundred steps, the divine arm crossbow was enough to penetrate the armor. Leaving bloody holes.
When a war horse is shot, a bloody hole will appear immediately, and it will scream and fall to the ground. When a horse falls down while galloping, most of the knights on the horse are thrown out, causing broken bones and tendons. There are also many who break their necks.
A few who fell with the horses were crushed under the horses. Before they could struggle away, they were trampled by the horses behind and died.
The distance of a hundred steps becomes a natural chasm. No creature can enter a hundred steps in front of the Daliang military formation.
The soldiers of Daliang fired in rows, knocking down all the creatures that rushed to the front of the formation.
But for a moment. Five hundred cavalrymen fell in a pool of blood.
Xiao Heda had also brought his army to the nearby area, and he couldn't help but be shocked when he saw that all the soldiers and horses in Daliang were equipped with divine arm crossbows.
The divine arm crossbow with a range of more than 300 steps has always been Xixia's nemesis. The last thing whether Tieyaozi or Bubazi wants to face is the divine arm crossbow. Once they encounter the divine arm crossbow, Xixia soldiers and horses can only use human lives to fill it. Fortunately, the Western Army never had many divine arm crossbows. Xiao Heda did not expect that these five thousand soldiers and horses would be equipped with so many divine arm crossbows.
From a distance, it seems that everyone has a divine arm crossbow.
With such a lineup, once they set up a formation and take turns shooting, the cavalry will simply not be able to rush past.
Xiao Heda also knew that it was difficult to string the divine arm crossbow. Ordinary soldiers might not be able to draw the divine arm crossbow several times. However, he only brought 5,000 troops out of the city. Even if he used up all 5,000 troops and horses, he would not be able to use up all the soldiers. strength.
If he was given 50,000 soldiers and horses, he would charge regardless of casualties. As long as the strength of the Daliang soldiers was exhausted and they were unable to draw the divine arm crossbow, then the Daliang soldiers would become lambs to be slaughtered. But there were only ten thousand soldiers and horses left in the city, so he could not use this strategy.
Xiao Heda stopped the charge of the army, set up his formation, and shouted: "Who dares to fight?"
A general next to him ignored Xiao Heda and rode out of the battle, shouting: "Is there any man who dares to come and die?"
Sun Li, Zhang Qing, Han Shizhong, and Liu Qi, four men with war horses, shouted almost at the same time: "The last general invites you to fight."
Chao Yong looked at the four of them and said with a smile: "The four of you take turns to fight. General Sun will be first, Zhang Qing will be second, Han Shizhong will be third, and Liu Qi will be fourth. Regardless of victory or defeat, change players after a while."
"Get the order"
Sun Li jumped on his horse and went into battle to fight with General Fan.
Within a dozen or so seconds, Sun Li shouted loudly, shot the general off his horse, snatched his horse, and drove his horse back to the formation.
When Zhang Qing saw Sun Li returning to the formation, he also rode out of the formation and shouted: "Zhang Qing is here, who will die?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a general was already shouting and riding to fetch Zhang Qing.
"Watch the fight"
The two horses were still several feet apart, so Zhang Qing raised his right hand, and a flying stone flew out of his hand, hitting the general's nose.
The general couldn't bear the pain, so he turned over and fell off his horse.
Zhang Qing rushed forward, stabbed Zaifan in the neck, grabbed the horse and returned to the formation.
Xiao Heda relied on the bravery of his party members, and Liang Guo's troops were only a few thousand, so he didn't believe there were many generals among them. Seeing that he had defeated two generals in a row, but Daliang changed his generals and replaced them with another general, he couldn't help but said angrily: "Who is going to kill Han'er?"
General Dangxiang was also angry. Li Qianshun and Chage's army were defeated. It can be said that they were defeated by firearms. If we say that the brave Dangxiang people think that they are much stronger than the Han people, otherwise Xixia would not be able to establish a country, let alone plunder the Song Dynasty for a long time. Now it is a shame to be driven straight into the capital by Liang's troops. But they cannot accept another defeat.
The two generals rushed out of the formation almost at the same time.
Han Shizhong didn't panic when he saw him. He rushed up to greet him and said with a smile: "Well done."
The two generals did not want to be embarrassed in front of their own capital, so they barked twice, and one of the generals reined in his horse.
Han Shizhong originally wanted to behead two levels, but when he saw that there was only one person coming up, he couldn't help but feel angry, and the tiger-headed gun in his hand was even more merciless, but it was no more than five. Then he took the general off his horse. Unfortunately, he glanced at the general not far away, grabbed his horse and returned to the formation.
Fan Jiang, who was lucky enough to live for a moment longer, saw Han Shizhong shaking his head in pity, and couldn't help being furious. He beat his horse and chased Han Shizhong.
When Han Shizhong heard that the generals were chasing after him, he couldn't help but consider whether to make a counterattack.
Liu Qi has already marched out of battle. The bow was drawn to the full moon and he shouted: "Look at the arrow."
As soon as he finished speaking, a sharp arrow came out of the string and hit the general's throat.
Yao Pingzhong had already ridden the war horse that Sun Li had snatched back. Seeing that Liu Qi had also made a contribution, he rode out of the battle and shouted: "Yao Pingzhong is here. Who will die?"
Without Xiao Heda having to say anything, there were party generals rushing to join the battle.
After fighting for more than ten rounds, Yao Pingzhong used a flaw to dodge the general's steel spear. With one blow, Banjiang's head was chopped off.
Li Kui looked at Yao Pingzhong's achievements, but he didn't care and ran out of the formation.
Chao Yong was too late to stop him, so he had to watch Li Kui go into battle.
Xiao Heda saw Li Kuisheng's ugliness. He couldn't help shouting: "Han'er bullied others too much, even the stupid men in the village came out to challenge me. There is no one in Xixia who bullies me."
The Xixia generals behind him were also yelling angrily. Many generals looked at each other, but they were unwilling to fight Li Kui who was on foot.
Xiao Heda had no choice but to point out a soldier to fight.
"I'm so angry."
Li Kui is not stupid. The generals who just went out to fight were all generals wearing iron armor, but when it was his turn, a man wearing leather armor came out, obviously a soldier.
Chao Yong and others couldn't help but laugh when they saw him in front of the formation.
Xiao Heda's soldiers didn't take Li Kui seriously, so they rode towards Li Kui.
With the speed of the war horses, once the collision is serious, Li Kui's life can be taken, so there is no need to take action.
He looked at the horse and was about to hit Li Kui, but Li Kui suddenly took a step to the side.
Seeing Li Kui get out of the way, the soldiers on the horse immediately slashed at Li Kui, who was not yet firmly on his feet, with the steel knife in his hand.
"Dang"
"Go to hell"
Li Kui roared violently, chopped off the steel knife with one ax, and swung the other ax towards the horse's belly.
"ah"
"Plop"
Horse?A gap was opened immediately, and one of the cavalry's legs was cut off. Under the severe pain, he could no longer control his balance and fell off the horse.
The war horse was still running forward, but its internal organs kept spilling out of the opening in the horse's belly. After running only a few steps, it hissed sadly and fell to the ground.
"You underestimate grandpa, and I will let you underestimate grandpa again."
Li Kui turned around and walked to the knight who fell off his horse. The two axes began to rotate up and down. In the blink of an eye, a living person was cut into several pieces.
When the Xixia people saw Li Kui's ferocious appearance, they were all frightened. For a while, no one came out of the battle.
Li Kui was chopping happily when he heard the sound of horse hooves coming from in front of his formation. He looked up and saw Ou Peng coming out of the formation, and couldn't help but shout: "Go back first, the person I killed is not a general."
Moyun Golden Wing Ou Peng said with a smile: "The prince said that everyone should fight for a while, but this time it is my turn, everyone is still waiting behind."
Hearing this, Li Kui struck the ax twice with hatred and said, "It's so damn unlucky for me to kill a soldier."
When everyone in Xixia saw Li Kui returning to the battle, they all breathed a sigh of relief. Regardless of his martial arts skills, his ferocity was frightening.
Seeing that no one came out, Ou Peng had to shout: "Ou Peng is here, who will die?"
The people in Xixia had only heard of the names of the generals of the Western Army, but not the names of the people in Liangshan. Naturally, they had no fear. Immediately, a general with a spear came out to fight.
Ou Peng used a large hob for infantry combat, which immediately became an iron spear.
He couldn't fight five rounds, so he dismounted the general with one shot. - Didn't finish reading? Add this book to your favoritesI'm a member and bookmarked this chapterCopy the address of this book and recommend it to your friends for pointsChapter error? Click here to report
