Chapter 161: The Great War, the Nightmare Strikes
Of course, the opportunity to establish immortality is left to the first beauty in the northwest, the moon fairy, these five thousand cavalry is her dowry, if there is no such merit, then how can she win the marriage of the official family in the future, and how can she be a flat wife? Of course, in this battle, Liu Ruyan will also participate in the battle, this big beauty has to fight for her fate, although Liu Zhenglong has repeatedly obstructed her from going on the expedition before, but she still has to create opportunities. Clearly, this is the right opportunity.
At this moment, the forbidden army on the battlefield has been fighting bloodily for more than two hours, and more than half of the 50,000 forbidden troops have been killed and wounded, although Xiao Li Guanghuarong led 10,000 forbidden troops to replenish it, but it is only to stabilize the situation, and it is unrealistic to think about the total annihilation of the Western Xia cavalry on the opposite side, at this time the casualties on both sides are very large, and they are fighting to see who can withstand this most difficult time period, after all, at this time, it is already a lack of people and horses, whether it is the Western Xia cavalry or the Great Song Dynasty Forbidden Army, it is already the end of the crossbow, and it may collapse at any time, It depends on when the last straw that overwhelms the elephant appears.
Dressed in a fiery red robe, Liu Ruyan had a red horse under his crotch, and a three-pointed and two-edged knife in his hand, looking heroic and sassy, like a cloud of fire thrown into the battlefield. Followed by the white robe, the white dragon horse under the crotch, the Folding Moon Fairy with a bright silver spear in his hand, these two beauties are graceful and luxurious, a charming red rose, a delicate white rose, a white rose with ten thousand styles, their appearance is really the most beautiful scenery on the battlefield, but unfortunately for the Western Xia cavalry, especially for the Jin King Richard, it is definitely a nightmare.
At this time, no matter how slow the reaction was, Richard knew that he had fallen for the enemy's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, but it was useless to say anything now, he only had a thousand cavalry in his hands, and there was obviously no chance of winning against the opponent's five thousand cavalry.
Now on the battlefield, the cavalry and infantry have been mixed together, the killing is inextricable, the formation is completely disrupted, and it has reached the point where you have me, I have you. It is not easy to forcibly separate them, and this kind of scuffle often ends with the collapse of one side and the victory of the other.
The Western Xia cavalry in the bloody battle encountered the most difficult battle, and the mobility of the cavalry could not be used at all, and they could only fall into a torturous positional battle. For the Great Song Forbidden Army, which had been in the battle array for a long time, this kind of battlefield was simply tormented in the Abi Prison. It's just that when there is no way to retreat, either die in battle or fight to the death, driven by the generals, the soldiers of the forbidden army chose to fight to the death in order to survive.
In front of him, five thousand cavalry rushed over, and there were only two ways in front of Richard Ge, either to summon the cavalry in the fierce battle back to relieve the siege, or to choose a strategic retreat, after all, the result of a thousand against five thousand was the annihilation of the whole army.
In the end, the Jin king Li Chage did not have the courage to let the cavalry plan in the fierce battle come back, he chose to lead a thousand cavalry to retreat strategically, retreating in the direction of the Golden Wolf Military City, and hurriedly sent someone to inform the 10,000 cavalry to come back.
Liu Zhenglong saw Brother Richard's retreat through the clairglass, in fact, he sent Zhiyue Immortal and Liu Ruyan to lead 5,000 cavalry to fight with the purpose of forcing Brother Richard to retreat. As long as this guy retreats and the dragons are leaderless, then this Western Xia cavalry will soon collapse under heavy pressure.
Zheyue Immortal may not be able to defeat the powerful Liu Ruyan in a single battle, but if she leads the cavalry to fight, this big beauty thinks that she is no worse than her two elder brothers.
Before the expedition, Liu Zhenglong explained his strategic intentions to Zheyue Xian, although the two have not yet finished their marriage, but it is a foregone conclusion that they will become husband and wife, and they will not hide anything.
Despite the pain of last night's slight trauma, the Orizuki Immortal, who led the troops to fight, still showed the super strength of the woman who did not let the eyebrows be shaved, and she asked the five thousand cavalry to enlarge the area as much as possible, so that she could block the situation of the Western Xia cavalry looking at Brother Richard.
When he saw that the Great Song cavalry completely blocked his vision, the witty Richard brother immediately understood what was going on, it was bad, once he failed, he couldn't see his own existence, thinking that he was surrounded and suppressed by the Great Song cavalry, and in this case he would come to the rescue 100%, as long as he was withdrawn from the battlefield, even if it was only a small part of it, it would cause a large area of chaos, and it would be impossible to completely annihilate the Song army today.
Sure enough, what Brother Richard was worried about still happened, when he first found out that the Great Song cavalry had attacked Brother Richard, the king of Jin, Weiming Weihai didn't care very much, but when he saw that the number of Great Song cavalry was at least more than 5,000, enough to cover the sky and the sun, this guy knew that trouble was coming.
For Weihai, once Richard is captured or killed, then he is finished, and even if he wins, there is no point in this battle. Keeping Brother Richard is to keep himself, at this time, Weiming Weihai can't take care of it so much, this guy took the lead in the county order to retreat.
On the battlefield, once you retreat, you will encounter the arrival of a great rout when you encounter water, and the defeat will be like a mountain, and it will be difficult to recover the decline again. Weiming Weihai is at most a fierce general, but he is definitely not a good general, this guy is very good at studying military books and war strategies, and he likes to study the problem of inheritance with beautiful women.
Wei Ming Weihai did not discuss with Li Liangfu, so he ordered the army to withdraw from the position without authorization and rushed directly to Brother Richard's side.
Seeing that Wei Ming Weihai led the army to withdraw from the position, Li Liangfu was furious, and this guy said angrily, "Idiot, this time I killed Lao Tzu." ”
Now Li Liangfu is in a dilemma, if he attacks, the troops are insufficient, and he is doomed to suffer losses if he fights, even if he wins, he will suffer heavy casualties, and if he retreats, he has not yet received the order to retreat, and once he retreats, he will be chased and killed by the Song army.
Brother Richard's vision was blocked, and he didn't know that Weihai came to rescue him, at this time, he just ran desperately in the direction of the Golden Wolf Military City with the cavalry, and was closely pursued by the Great Song cavalry along the way.
At this moment, the siege of the Golden Wolf Military City has entered a white heat, at the beginning of the attack was only launched with trebuchets, but after an hour, the naval army began to disembark and land, becoming the siege infantry, as soon as it came up, it started a fierce battle with the Western Xia army of the Golden Wolf Military City.
Although Fei Ting's black tiger is addicted to alcohol, it doesn't mean that this guy doesn't understand military affairs, on the contrary, he is still very strategic, this guy knows that he can't stop the attack of the 30,000 Song army at all, so he didn't put the center of gravity of defense on the city, on the contrary, he is still waiting for a certain node on the Song army to conquer the city gate and successfully kill in.
As long as the Song army enters the city, then it will turn into street fighting, for Fei Ting's Black Tiger, if you fight street battles, you have the right time and place on your side, and you can use the terrain to get familiar with the street battles, trap the 30,000 Song troops to the death, and finally turn the tide of the war.
Fei Ting, who crackled the small abacus, quietly withdrew half of the defensive forces, which was to let the Song army conquer the city gate and fight street battles. But this guy ignores the fact that the difference in strength between the two sides is too great, even if it is a street battle, what is the chance of winning just to calm the terrain?
Ruan Thi Sanxiong, who was in charge of the main attack, knew that he could not enter the city until the signal came from the old general Liang Lie, so when the city was attacked, it was thunder and rain, and there was no sign of breaking the city at all, but the interception was still very strict to ensure that the news of the Golden Wolf Military City was not leaked outward.
The Golden Wolf Military City is a lonely city at this moment, completely isolated from the outside world, even carrier pigeons can't fly out, Fei Ting's black tiger's abacus didn't start, but he also knows that this city can't be defended, and it's only a matter of time before it is conquered.
Yes, it was only a matter of time before the Golden Wolf Military City was conquered, at least Xue Yong and the others in the city were also thinking like this, this group of beggar disciples had already been ambushed in a critical position, just waiting for the final fatal blow.
At this time, Fei Ting's Black Tiger could only pray for reinforcements to arrive early to help him defend the Golden Wolf Military City, but unfortunately, the 10,000 cavalry could not come, because what was waiting for them in front was a nightmare.
The 30,000 elite soldiers led by Liu Faqin were waiting for the arrival of the Western Xia cavalry early, and their task was very simple, that is, to expel the Western Xia cavalry to Laolongkou. Among the 30,000 elite soldiers, 20,000 were crossbow soldiers, who used bows and crossbows as ambushes to suppress the Western Xia cavalry.
Sure enough, the Western Xia cavalry did not choose to charge, but chose to take a detour, and their task was to rescue the Golden Wolf Military City, not to fight an encounter with the other party. Moreover, in the face of the 30,000 Song army that had been ambushed for a long time, it was not easy to defeat it.
I didn't know that he was a dead brain, and he didn't turn around, since the order given by King Richard of Jin was to rescue the Golden Wolf Military City, then he should kill it in the fastest time, instead of wasting time on the road.
10,000 cavalry slowly came to Laolongkou, at this time the old general Liang Lie had already prepared, but this time he handed over the command to his son Liang Hong, hoping that his son could make meritorious contributions and command the battle at this historic moment that determined the victory of the battle.
Liang Hong saw 10,000 cavalry slowly coming to Lao Longkou through the clairglass eyepiece, and he couldn't help but secretly admire it in his heart, Liu Zhenglong seemed to have known that this scene would happen, and there was no error at this node.
"Prepare for battle."
With Liang Lie's order, the artillery on the thirty warships was ready, and each warship had thirty cannons on both sides, and fifteen cannons on each side, that is, four hundred and fifty cannons were put into battle for one round of attack, and four hundred and fifty stone cannonballs smashed into the cavalry camp, which was definitely a spectacular scene.
When the 10,000 cavalry came to the mouth of the old dragon, before they could react, the artillery began to exert its might. The deafening explosion frightened the war horse, and the horse that was hit by the bomb suddenly blurred the flesh and blood of the wine glass. The biggest casualties were the cavalry who were bumped and fell down because of the frightened horses, and this group of guys reported to the underworld in a daze.
The earth is shaking, many soldiers are shocked eardrums broken, blood flows out, this battle is destined to be the nightmare of the Western Xia cavalry, under the attack of hot weapons, the king cavalry of the cold weapon era is destined to be cannon fodder.
Seeing the artillery so powerful for the first time, Liang Hong was stunned, so much so that it took a long time to react and order a second round of attacks.
Liu Fa in the distance was dumbfounded, he didn't expect the war to be so big, and finally understood why Lord Liu was so confident that he wanted to destroy Brother Richard and destroy Western Xia, it turned out that he relied on secret weapons.
The soldiers on the warship had already blocked their ears, so that they did not hurt their ears when they exploded, and Liu Jiajun, who was five miles away, felt the buzzing of their ears and felt that the earth was trembling, which showed how powerful the explosion was, and what was even more terrible was what kind of nightmare the Western Xia cavalry would be at the core of the explosion.
I didn't know that this guy was knocked off the horse on the spot, although he was not trampled to death by the horse, but his eardrum was shattered, he couldn't hear anything, how could he command the battle?
The sound of artillery continued, and under the cover of large-density artillery fire, at least the general Western Xia cavalry was killed, and the rest were also in chaos, that is, at this time, the sound of artillery stopped, and Liu Fa knew that it was time for him to appear, so he ordered 30,000 Liu Jiajun to attack.
At this moment, the Western Xia cavalry can no longer be called cavalry, the war horses were frightened and fled in all directions, the cavalry was dumbfounded, was blinded, and it was difficult to recover combat effectiveness for a while, in this case ushered in 30,000 strong enemies, which was destined to be a bloody battle, and it was a bloody battle that was almost completely annihilated.
Liu Fa knew that it would be difficult to annihilate the enemy, after all, the infantry could not catch up with the cavalry, so he just blocked one end and drove the Western Xia cavalry to the side of the Golden Wolf Military City.
According to the original agreement, as long as the defeated cavalry fled to the Golden Wolf Military City, then the naval army began to carry out siege warfare, and Liu Fa's army covered from behind and annihilated these Western Xia cavalry in the Golden Wolf Military City.
Liang Hong said to Liang Hong, "I didn't expect the artillery to be so powerful, I finally understand why Lord Liu is willing to spend a lot of money, it seems that this thing will determine the direction of the war in the future, let's go, let's participate in the battle of the Golden Wolf Military City, that place is destined to be the tomb of Brother Richard, the king of Jin." ”
"Father, isn't it true that we have already completed the blockade at Laolongkou, why do we still have to go to the Golden Wolf Military City?"
"If we blast down the walls, we will reduce the losses of the soldiers."
After all, Liang Lie is scheming, considering the problem is obviously different from his son's perspective, he knows that the advantage of the Western Xia cavalry is very great, if you want to break through, it will be quite troublesome, in the face of the cavalry attacking from all sides, if you want to rely on the infantry to complete the total annihilation, it is undoubtedly a fool's dream, but once the cavalry is trapped in one place, the nature is different.
Liang Hong thought for a while and said, "Father, is it possible that Brother Richard will not go to the Golden Wolf Military City and return directly to the Jingzhai Military Division?" ”
"Yes, there is a great possibility, in that case, the military merits will not belong to us, anyway, we can't let Richard Ge break through with cavalry, the Jingzhai Military Division is too far away from the river, our artillery can't play a role, the only thing we can do is to go to the Golden Wolf Military City, after all, it is the closest place for Richard to return. Li Jun's command will lead 30,000 sailors to block the river, so it has nothing to do with us. ”
Liang Lie insisted on withdrawing his troops and going to the Golden Wolf Military City, but Liang Hong didn't think so, he pondered for a long time and said, "Once the Golden Wolf Military City is conquered, it will be in ruins, how can Brother Richard enter the city?" It's better to wait for Brother Richard to arrive in Laolongkou, even if he leads the army to break through from here, there will be huge casualties, then he can't enter the Golden Wolf Army City, and he is doomed to be annihilated. As for him going to the Jingzhai Military Division, it is destined to have nothing to do with us, and it is not something we should consider. ”
The father and son argued for a while, and finally Liang Lie took a step back, and he ordered to clean up the battlefield quickly.
At this time, the war in the Golden Wolf Military City had entered a white heat, and Liu Fa's 30,000 elite soldiers finally blocked the defeated Western Xia cavalry outside the city, and the two sides tore apart outside the city.
Fei Ting's black tiger obviously saw the cavalry who came to the rescue, but he couldn't open the city gate, he could only watch these cavalry being slaughtered, at this time, he also knew that there would be no more reinforcements, if the Song army was allowed to enter the city to start a street battle, then he would definitely die.
Fei Ting, who was unwilling to die for his country, finally chose to break through, and this guy took a thousand soldiers to kill him from the water gate, and ran all the way north to the big river.
The Golden Wolf Army City has no city lord, the dragons have no leader, and the city is broken in the middle of the city for half an hour, and the strong men in the city are all executed, at this time, Xue Yongcai came to meet Liu Fa who led the army into the city, and the navy returned to the river to block the river and prevent the Western Xia soldiers from breaking through.
Liu Fa thought that the Golden Wolf Military City had been broken and there was no danger to defend, and finally left Xue Yong to defend the city, and left a thousand elite soldiers, and the rest of the army gathered towards Lao Longkou, this guy's idea was the same as Liang Hong, that is, Lao Longkou was the final decisive battle.
When the battle situation was first formulated, Liu Zhenglong did not determine where the decisive battle was placed, after all, the battlefield was changing rapidly, and it was impossible to cover everything, and the Western Xia was a cavalry, if Richard had a temporary change, he could not be led by the Western Xia cavalry.
In the end, Liu Zhenglong chose the safest method, that is, the naval army blocked the river, and the cavalry of the Zhejia army, with the assistance of the cavalry of the Milli tribe, carried out an all-round blockade to completely block the road to Richard's return. The five tigers of the Pan family blocked four passages to complete the final killing of Brother Richard.
Liu Fa came to Laolongkou and saw that the navy was cleaning the battlefield, so he asked his soldiers to help, so that the whole progress was much better.
Liu Fa said to Liang Lie, "Old general, it seems that the heroes have the same opinion, and we have the same opinion, that is, this is Brother Richard's grave, but this time we have a long heart and block our ears in advance, otherwise it will be too uncomfortable." ”
"Liu Jingluo, do you know, the sound of the cannon is ten thousand taels of gold, this is not said in passing, thirty warships, one round of artillery is four hundred and fifty cannons, the consumption of 10,000 taels of gold is a bit exaggerated, but the consumption of 10,000 taels of silver is far from enough. Shelling, that's piled up with money. But this time, my idea is to fight a decisive battle in the Golden Wolf Military City, and it is my son Liang Hong who insists on being here. ”
My dear, 10,000 taels of silver is not enough, how much money will be consumed in this whole war? Liu Fa didn't dare to calculate, but he knew that the money was a drop in the bucket for Lord Liu.
