Chapter 0550 - The Key to Determining the Outcome of the Battlefield
For those who have never been on the battlefield, it is difficult to imagine the cruelty of the battlefield.
Flesh and blood flying.
The fragility of human life seems to be blown away by a gust of wind.
All kinds of appalling ways to die can be seen on the battlefield.
Some were smashed into flesh by huge fireballs, and some were shot into hedgehogs by arrows.
The knife opens the abdomen, and the intestines flow together.
Kou Ji's brows furrowed, and he looked at a group of Zhu Neng, who were staring coldly at the battlefield with a grim face.
"You were in the big tent of the Chinese army just now, and you were worried that the battlefield was too tragic?"
Zhu Neng glanced at Kou Ji, furrowed his eyebrows, and shook his head, "No...... I can't see many battlefields that are more brutal than this......"
"I've seen someone bite to death by our soldiers, and there is not a whole piece of flesh on that body. There are also people who bite the necks of their enemies and gulp blood. That's the real horror.
If he is not feeling well, he can return to the barracks. β
The commander of the Xingguo Army beside Zhu Neng whispered.
Kou Ji raised his eyebrows and glanced at him, "Am I the kind of person who is timid and scared?" β
The commander of the Xingguo Army smiled and said in a low voice: "It's a humble......
He said kind words on his lips, and the disdain on his face was well concealed, but the scorn in his eyes was difficult to hide.
Wuchen and Wenchen are inherently hostile.
Coupled with the national policy of the Great Song Dynasty, the military ministers had even less favorable feelings towards the Wenchen.
The commander of the Xingguo Army despised Kou Ji, probably because of this.
Kou Ji didn't bother to bother with him, and said to Zhu Neng: "If you can leave the artillery, you won't have to fight so hard." Although the city gate of Yumen Pass is heavy, it cannot withstand the bombardment of artillery. β
For the artillery he made, Koji has absolute confidence.
Zhu Neng said in a deep voice: "The artillery is placed in Yangguan, and Yangguan is safer." β
Kou Ji groaned: "I think you are trying to hit the iron harrier who went to Yangguan hard. β
Zhu Neng didn't deny it, but nodded and said, "That's good...... The dog's day relied on the sharpness of the iron harrier and kept slaughtering the soldiers of my Great Song Dynasty, so naturally I had to teach them a lesson, so that they knew what it meant to pay for blood debts. β
Kou Ji said unexpectedly: "It's the first time I've found out that you value the lives of your soldiers so much. β
Zhu Neng was silent for a while when he heard this, and said faintly: "I really didn't care much about it before. Ever since I saw the soldiers starving to death in front of me one by one in Shazhou City, my heart has become soft. β
Kou Ji was stunned for a moment and smiled bitterly.
Zhu Neng's mentality, he is not easy to evaluate right and wrong.
As far as a general is concerned, his mentality is not suitable for commanding troops.
But as a Song person, his mentality is not wrong at all.
"I hope you won't be affected by this and become soft-hearted......"
Zhu Neng shook his head indifferently, "No, ......"
Just when Zhu Neng was talking to Kou Ji.
The Western Xia cavalry had already broken through two shield formations and killed nearly a thousand Song soldiers and horses.
The Western Xia cavalry also suffered nearly 1,000 casualties as a result.
In front of the rope bridge, corpses were strewn all over the place.
Bright red blood infected the front of the rope bridge.
The offensive of the Western Xia cavalry was much restricted.
Without the help of the cavalry, it is difficult to tear apart the shield array.
"Attack!"
Zhu Neng calmly ordered.
The army pressed on again.
The Western Xia cavalry did not charge to help, and could only be forced back to the rope bridge by the shield soldiers.
Seeing this, Li Yuanhao at the head of the city coldly ordered: "Let the iron harrier attack!" Tell Linu to kill as many as you can! β
Rinu is the captain of the Iron Harrier Team 4.
He is the captain of the Iron Harrier Ten Team, except for Meile, the most talented person in command.
After my sister strangled herself outside the city of Shazhou.
Rinu succeeded Meile and became the commander of the Iron Harrier.
With Li Yuanhao's order.
The 1,800 iron harriers that had already been prepared in the Yumen Pass, under the leadership of Linu, rushed out of the Yumen Pass.
The figure of the Iron Harrier appeared outside the Jade Gate Pass.
Zhu Neng's brows twisted into a ball, "Sure enough, there was a ......"
Kou Ji raised his eyebrows, "Are you waiting for them?" β
"Not bad......"
Without waiting for Kou Ji to ask again, Zhu Neng had already begun to issue a series of combat orders.
"Command the whole army, fight to the death and never retreat!"
"Command the Iron Cavalry of the Yuanshan Division, prepare to attack!"
ββ¦β¦β
As Zhu Neng's order reached the whole army.
More than 40,000 soldiers in the whole army, facing the iron harrier, stubbornly rose up.
"Bang!"
The charge of the Iron Harrier was far faster and stronger than that of other cavalry in Western Xia.
Just one stroke.
The two shield arrays arranged by the shield soldiers of the Song army were pierced like papier-mΓ’chΓ©.
They rushed into the shield array.
Slash and slash.
It was like a wolf entering a flock of sheep, killing the soldiers of the Song army.
Shieldmen, spearmen, it is difficult to resist the charge of the Iron Harrier.
The lives of the soldiers of the Song army were being harvested by the iron harrier one by one.
The speed of death and injury far exceeded that of several times just now.
Kou Ji looked at it and frowned.
In his opinion, the Iron Harrier rushed into the military formation, which was a one-sided slaughter.
At the very least, it is difficult to resist the shield soldiers and spearmen at the front, and it is difficult to pose a threat to the Iron Harrier.
The Iron Harrier rushed around in the shield and spearman formation, as if entering a no-man's land.
Kou Ji had the heart to open his mouth to remind Zhu Neng to dispatch patrol horse guards.
But after thinking about it again, I still didn't speak.
Since Zhu Neng sent a large army to press on him when the Iron Harrier appeared, it means that Zhu Neng has his own ideas.
Before seeing today's military array, Kou Ji was still a little confident in his military talents.
But after seeing today's military formation, he is not so confident in his military talent.
He was the one who hated the prison system the most.
Naturally, I don't want to be a nasty overseer.
"Puff puff ......"
The scimitar of the Iron Harrier kept slashing through the military formation, and the stumps and broken arms flew sideways, and blood flowed everywhere.
It's like they're trying to keep a carnival feast of killing, killing happily in the military formation.
The moment Zhu Neng appeared, he stared at the iron harrier tightly, and his eyes became colder and colder.
After the appearance of the Iron Harrier, the mentality he showed did not match the mentality he showed in the Chinese army tent at all.
In the big tent of the Chinese army, he had a compassionate look on his face, and he pitied the lives of the soldiers very much.
But at this moment, he was as cold as a stone man.
Seeing where the Iron Harrier was massacring the soldiers of the Song army, he was indifferent.
"Puff ......"
When the Iron Harrier penetrates the formation of the shield soldiers and appears in the formation of the spearmen.
Zhu Neng, who had been silent, finally spoke.
He roared loudly: "Pass the order, let all the soldiers, at all costs, stop the iron harrier, bite the iron harrier, and order the iron cavalry of the Yuanshan Department to attack quickly." β
Zhu Neng roared loudly.
The heralds have done away with their mouths to convey orders in favor of letter flags.
The letter flag waved.
Zhu Neng's order quickly reached the army.
Ahead.
The defeated shield soldiers quickly organized a shield array, and the shields joined in pairs to form a wavy shield array in front of the rope bridge.
The spearmen held the spears in their hands and propped them on the ground, using the power of the earth to stabilize the gun formation and resist the iron harrier's charge.
The Iron Harrier was in front of them, frantically reaping the lives of their comrades, and they did not move.
"Song Bing wants to seal our retreat!"
"Wishful thinking!"
"Song Bing's position as the commander is not heavily guarded, kill it! Killed the commander of Song Bing! β
ββ¦β¦β
Rinu commanded the Iron Harrier to fight while observing the situation on the battlefield.
When he found out that the Song soldiers had blocked their retreat at the cost of life and death, he sensed Zhu Neng's intention to keep them.
After looking around the battlefield and finding that Zhu Neng's banner was not heavily guarded, he decisively locked Zhu Neng.
What if you can stay and wait?
Kill you, your Song army's army will be self-defeating!
"Kill!"
Linu led the iron harrier and rushed to kill in the direction of Zhu Neng.
Kou Ji watched Linu rush in his direction, raised his eyebrows, and asked Zhu Neng in a deep voice, "You will do whatever it takes, just to leave the iron harrier?" β
Zhu Neng didn't deny it, nodded and said, "Not bad!" β
Kou Ji frowned and said, "But he came to our side." We weren't heavily guarded. β
Zhu Neng looked at Kou Ji and smiled, "Aren't there still two hundred iron horsemen by your side?" β
Kou Ji was stunned for a moment, stared at Zhu Neng and questioned: "You have already counted the two hundred iron horsemen around me in your plan?" β
"Not bad......"
"But even if I have two hundred iron horsemen by my side, it is difficult to resist more than a thousand iron harriers."
"Resist for as long as you can."
Kou Ji's brows furrowed, and he muttered, "You not only plotted against the iron knights around me, but also plotted against us?" You're trying to use us as bait to attract the Iron Harriers.
And then gather them together and annihilate them? β
At this point, Zhu Neng's plan is already very clear.
From the very beginning, Zhu Neng had his eyes on the Iron Harrier, and planned to give the Iron Harrier a painful blow.
With Kou Ji's identity, Zhu Neng will never let him fall into danger.
Once Zhu Neng puts him in danger, it means that Zhu Neng wants to secondment his identity or strength.
Fishing for an iron harrier does not necessarily have to be out of the game.
Zhu Neng's own identity is enough to lure the iron harrier to the bait.
The reason why Zhu Neng took him into danger was to use the two hundred iron horses in his hand.
Because of the two hundred iron horsemen in his hand, only he can mobilize.
Zhu Neng heard Kou Ji's words, nodded slowly, he stared at the iron harrier who was slowly rushing over, and said with a hideous face: "From the time we entered the Western Regions to the present, there have been more than 10,000 soldiers who have died in their hands.
I've fought for so many years, and I've never suffered such a big battle loss.
Their threat on the battlefield is simply too great.
So I had to find a way to kill them. β
"Even if it's for yourself and me?"
Kou Ji asked in a deep voice.
Zhu Neng said firmly: "I can die, but you won't die." β
Kou Ji was stunned and smiled bitterly.
Zhu Neng's words, he can understand.
In such a chaotic battle, his life is really in danger.
The Patrol Guards will surely abandon everything, gather in front of him, and protect him.
Others don't know the identity of the patrol guard, but Zhu Neng knows.
The Horse Guards are Koji's most loyal personal subordinates, and they will sacrifice their lives to protect Koji.
"The cost is too big...... Reckless and speechless......"
Kou Ji pursed his lips and muttered.
"You guys go and interrupt their charge, you don't have to fight with them......"
Koji turned back and ordered the leader of the patrol guards behind him.
The leader of the patrol guard hesitated, glared at Zhu Neng viciously, and led two hundred patrol guard men to rush out.
If it weren't for the fact that Koji was in danger right now, they would need to go out and kill.
They will definitely rush up, take down Zhu Neng first, hang him and beat him severely.
"Boom ......"
The man who patrols the horse and guards urged the war horse under his crotch and rushed out.
In the face of an enemy who was several times as strong as them, they did not have the slightest fear.
"Draw your gun!"
In the process of charging, the two hundred patrol horse guards pulled out the gun on their waists and shot at the oncoming iron harriers.
Not to be outdone, the Iron Harrier bent his bow and arrows and fired back.
Both sides fired fiercely.
How many people charged on horseback, or how many.
The arrows of the Iron Harrier landed on the guards and clanged.
Even if it is a rare strong arrow shot by a marksman, it is difficult to kill the patrol guards in one blow.
After passing through the chain mail worn by the Horse Guards, the arrows will be firmly stuck, and the tip of the arrow will pierce the skin of the Horse Guards at most.
There were still injuries, but no one died.
The iron bullets fired by the guards are also difficult to kill the Iron Harrier with one hit.
A volley was fired, killing only one person.
One of the shots was fired by Chen Datou after aiming for a long time.
A shot in the eye.
The iron bullet struck the opponent's head, and a burst of blood appeared.
"Kill!"
After a smack.
The two sides collided together.
Iron rider to iron rider, heavy armor to heavy armor.
Like a hammer confrontation, the dull sound of collision was everywhere, and the force was very strong.
The iron harrier slashed at the patrol horse guard.
The men of the patrol horse guard did not like to fight, and while holding the big sword in their hands, they quickly rushed towards the back of the Iron Harrier's team.
Just when the two sides are in a mess.
The heavier sound of horses' hooves sounded behind the formation.
More than 2,000 soldiers patrolling the horses and guards, carrying smoke and dust all the way, entered the battle.
On the top of the city.
When Li Yuanhao saw more than 2,000 patrol horse guards appear, his silver teeth rattled.
He thought that he had sent five thousand cavalry to rush out of Yumen Pass and rush to Yangguan.
will lead the iron cavalry in the hands of the Song army to Yangguan.
Unexpectedly, the other party did not get on the set.
"Damn...... This one, I lost for a while...... But without heavy armor to protect Yangguan, can those shrimp soldiers and crab generals in Yangguan be able to hold it? β
"Take Yangguan, cut off Li Zhaoliang's back road, cut off Li Zhaoliang's baggage supplies, Li Zhaoliang is the turtle in the urn!"
"As long as Li Zhaoliang is destroyed, you will be defeated!"
ββ¦β¦β
Li Yuanhao knows very well that the war has never been decided by the two armies by showing their carriages and horses and fighting a game.
In many cases, a head-to-head confrontation cannot determine the victory or defeat on the battlefield.
Surprise attacks are often the key to victory.
Among the Song army, what he feared the most was the endless firearms in Kou Ji's hands, as well as the heavy armored cavalry whose strength was only better than that of the Iron Harrier.
Previously, in the battle of Shazhou City, he sent people to attack Shazhou City, but he did not see the endless firearms in Kou Ji's hands.
That means that the firearms that Kou Ji brought from the Great Song Dynasty have already consumed seventy-seven, eighty-eight.
He didn't need to be afraid anymore.
He only needs to target the heavily armored riders.
Zhu Neng is calculating the iron harrier, and he is not calculating the patrol horse guard.
