Chapter 527: Western Xia Defeated!
The autumn wind of the Helan Mountain grassland war drums, the sound of horns intertwined, so that the whole battlefield of the Xiao killing atmosphere more and more intense, the Liao and the Xixia people of the war finally officially kicked off, both sides are cavalry as the main combat force, fast and fast gallop in the field.
As the emperor of the two countries, although the emperor drove the expedition but will not put himself in danger, the real battlefield is still some distance from the imperial tents of both sides, the significance of this battle is very important to the Liao Dynasty and Western Xia, this is a contest between the two sides to test each other's virtual reality and combat strength, and there is no weakness at all.
Although Xiao Hui, who has experienced a hundred battles, is old, he is still a treasure sword, Hua Fa has a beard, and led the elite Liao Dynasty iron cavalry to rush to the enemy formation, and he did not hide Pang Pang knew that he did not have any cowardice at all, at this time, he thought that he had to send an arrow on the string, and in the face of the tiger and wolf division of the Liao people, he accumulated all his strength and shouted: "Kill!" The Western Xia army rushed up like a tide.
The tide of troops on both sides collided violently like a huge wave, and instantly submerged the original distinction.
The battlefield has become a huge flesh millstone, constantly devouring one fresh life after another, this is purely a contest of strength and perseverance, whichever side can't withstand it first will be defeated.
The long knife slashed and took away the enemy's life, and the knight on the horse didn't have time to be complacent, and the next second his body was pierced by a spear, and the convulsive fell off the war horse and was crushed into pulp.
The Western Xia cavalry fought against the Western Regions all the year round, and they were all elites trained in blood and fire, but the Liao people in front of them were completely different from the stragglers in the Western Regions, they had quite exquisite cooperation, and the kung fu was even more outstanding.
The first time the Tangut people encountered the Liao people, who were on a par with them, this sense of superiority gained from the people of the Western Regions was instantly shattered, and the pressure rose sharply. The Western Xia cavalry gradually found that fighting with the Liao people was completely different from fighting with the people of the Western Regions, the people of the Western Regions did not know how to cooperate with each other, and only knew how to use brute force, and the Liao people were good at the way of joint attack, and each Xixia people would almost encounter two or more Liao attacks, and the tactics were not as good as the Liao people, they could only fight hard, and they would be picked off their horses if they were not careful, and falling off the horse on the battlefield of the cavalry melee basically meant death.
Xiao Hui knew the importance of this battle to the Liao Dynasty, and sent two thousand heavy armored cavalry as the vanguard, these were the most elite palace guard cavalry Huluduo, they were obtained by Xiao Hui from Yelu Zongzhen, he knew that these Huluduo were best at breaking the enemy's charge rather than protecting the emperor's chauffeur.
Sure enough, these two thousand heavily armored Huluduo smashed into the enemy formation of the Tangut people like a wolf into a flock of sheep, as long as the Xixia people's swords did not hit the vital point, they could not hurt them at all, and the sharp long knife in Huluduo's hand could easily harvest the lives of the Xixia cavalry.
Two thousand heavy armored cavalry almost tore apart the ranks of the Tanguts, and with the slashing of the lightly armed cavalry, the Tangut army was quickly divided, and the head and tail could not take care of each other, and the front and back could not echo, which was a fatal wound on the battlefield!
At this time, he had fallen into madness, he didn't expect the cavalry of the Liao Dynasty to be so sharp, and he divided his cavalry into encirclement and suppression in just a few breaths, and at this time he could only fight hard and wait for His Majesty's assistance!
The war between the two sides has officially begun, there is no possibility of stopping, which side can not withstand the first reinforcements, the other side will also invest troops in this flesh and blood mill to maintain the original advantage, in the final analysis, whose army is more powerful, more reinforcements will be able to gain a firm foothold, easier and easier to fight, and the other side will slowly run out, collapse and retreat in despair, and the next is the harvest of the victor......
But just when he was waiting for Li Yuanhao's reinforcements, the entire Western Xia army heard the horn of retreat, and he yelled in despair, retreating at this time means losing more cavalry, and how many party men can go back alive after the cavalry of the Liao people is covered?
Do you want to expose your juniors to the enemy? How could there be such a stupid thing in the world!
But he didn't hide that Pang was a decisive person, he knew that if he didn't retreat at this time, it would be even more difficult to retreat, since Li Yuanhao had chosen to sacrifice these people, what was the point of persisting hard? It's better to take the opportunity to lead your own soldiers to fight a bloody way!
Since it is an army abandoned by the emperor, what is the fighting spirit at all? When the Tangut cavalry heard the horn, the momentum of the entire army was discharged, how could the Liao people not know that this was the Tangut people's plan to retreat?
Xiao Hui, who was proficient in cavalry combat, let out a hearty laugh and shouted: "Wuzang Xiao'er, your emperor has abandoned you, and he has also abandoned these party warriors, run for your life!" Sons, follow the old man and kill all these cowards! ”
The more the enemy fled, the more he had to pursue, and it was the eternal truth of this era to destroy the enemy's living force as much as possible, and every soldier represented a man, and the fewer the males, the greater the damage to the Western Xia.
Seeing that Xiao Hui had the advantage, Yelu Zong really waved his fist excitedly, and Zhang Jian even persuaded on the side: "Your Majesty is losing the strength of the Western Xia people at this time, why not press in with an army, if you can capture Li Yuanhao alive, then everything will be decided!" ”
Zhang Jian's excited appearance made Yelu Zongzheng shake his head slightly: "At this time, the Western Xia is defeated, Li Yuanhao will inevitably retreat, and I will occupy the Western Xia thousands of miles of grassland and build a walled city, wouldn't it be better to slowly figure it out, although I will not stop like the Great Song Emperor, but I must also be cautious." ”
I didn't expect Yelu Zong, who had always been in there, to say such a thing, Zhang Jian felt unclear for a while, what a good opportunity this is! How can you not move forward? If Li Yuanhao's troops can be defeated and the elite of the Western Xia people can be wiped out in one fell swoop, it will be a matter of success once and for all.
"Your Majesty, have you forgotten that Li Yuanhao is ungrateful and betrays the alliance, and today the son is here in person and the army is combined, if you don't conquer the Western Xia in one fell swoop, you will regret it in the future!"
This is not what Zhang Jian said, but a group of important ministers of the Liao Dynasty were repeating Xiao Hui's original words, Yelu Zongzhen was young after all, and he was soon unable to hold his own position under the advice of a group of old ministers and nobles, and was persuaded......
When everyone said that the attack was good, even the steady Yelu Zongzhen would hesitate and doubt, most people's opinions were right or wrong at this time, and he still had a trace of doubt in his heart, whether he did this like the Great Song Emperor?
He kept saying that he wanted to surpass the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, how could he be complacent and stop moving forward when he got the same benefits? !
Yelu Zongzhen slapped the case violently and shouted loudly: "Pass the order, the army will follow the Han King Xiao Hui's department to advance to the hinterland of Western Xia, be sure to kill Yuan Hao, and reward those who are captured alive with a big tent, be named the leader of the clan tent, and unify the four hundred miles of grassland in Western Xia!" The killer will be rewarded with a thousand taels of gold! ”
For a while, the entire Liao Dynasty army was boiling, like a huge and hideous war beast rushing towards the hinterland of Western Xia, and they knew very well that their target was Li Yuanhao and not the heavily guarded Xingqing Mansion......
