Chapter 40: Ambush on All Sides
Zhang Jun saw the Xixia army rushing out of the gate violently, and immediately stood in front of the team with his horizontal gun, and when the other party arrived at a distance of four hundred meters, suddenly a lion roared like a thunderstorm: "Ah! The young general on the other side, I heard that you eat a lot of mutton liver, and your eyesight is good at night, so you dare to fight with me! ”
Come and rely on yourself to work hard immediately, who will be afraid of Zhang Jun going head-on. He stopped the pace of the team and rode his horse over: "Why don't you dare, I can teach you to taste grandpa's mace!" ”
The teams on both sides each held torches, and only the general human figure could be seen.
Zhang Jun slapped his horse forward, and the two sides hedged over at a distance of more than 300 meters, and he arrived as he spoke. There was still a distance of ten meters, Zhang Jun quietly held an iron bead in his hand, and with a flick of his fingers, the iron bead went straight to the man's face. The man's face ached, and with an "ahh Between the lightning and flint, the two horses were already close at hand, and the opportunity could not be lost and not come again, Zhang Jun had pierced the man's chest with a shot, and the belt flew off the horse.
"The enemy will be dead, kill!" With a wave of Zhang Jun's hand, 20,000 soldiers and horses slaughtered the enemy.
The main general was dead, and the deputy general hurriedly took over the command, beckoning the team to fight and retreat. In the Western Xia military camp, Li Changyou heard the news that the vanguard had been picked off the horse, and the Song army attacked strongly. Li Changyou didn't know why he lost a general shortly after leaving the camp, but fortunately, the troops were only two miles away from the camp, so he hurriedly sent 50,000 troops to the rescue.
Seeing the reinforcements of the Western Xia army, Zhang Jun commanded the army and horses not to fall in love with battle, threw down some rotten armor and rusty knives, and pretended to be defeated and retreated, but he always maintained a distance of three or five hundred meters, fighting or retreating.
The Western Xia army didn't know what to do, thinking that the 80,000 army had eaten the opponent's 20,000 horses, and before they knew it, they had chased it out for more than ten miles. The 80,000 horses in the rear of the Song army were already in battle.
However, he said that Jin Wushu had already decided to go to Yue Fei's department to attack the camp tonight, and waved 100,000 troops out of Qimen Town, pointing directly at Yue Fei's department. In order to prevent the Song army from setting up an ambush, Jin Wushu first sent 5,000 soldiers and horses as the forward troops, and led a large army to fall in the rear to attack depending on the situation. Five thousand forward troops entered the Song camp, most of them fell into the trap pit, Jin Wushu observed the forward troops entering the Song camp from behind, heard a burst of screams, thought that it was the cry of the Song army attacked, and hurriedly urged the large army to kill the Song army. Jin Wushu waved his army into the Song camp, and the men and horses fell into the horse pit everywhere, but he didn't see the Song army come out, so he knew the plan and hurriedly reined in the horse and ordered the retreat.
The Song army in ambush on both sides shouted and killed, not knowing the crowd. The Song army fed a few rounds of arrow rain from afar, and in the distance, four catapults threw two hundred catties of boulders and smashed into the Jin army's ranks, and the Jin army was panicked and lost its formation. The Song army took advantage of the chaos to enter the Jin army and killed people on their backs. The Jin army did not know how many Song troops came, so they hurriedly gathered their troops and broke through to the original road.
Yue Fei led 7,000 cavalry to rush into the enemy formation and shouted: "Jin Wushu, my emperor personally led an army of 200,000 to kill, and he will not be killed!" ”
Qu Ping had been waiting for a long time not far from the river bank, and the spies with good water quality had already touched the shore and found out that the large army of the Western Xia Army had been killed, Qu Ping had been waiting for nearly half an hour, and it was expected that most of them would not be able to return for a while and a half, and commanded 15,000 men and horses to land one after another.
The crossbowmen went ashore first to defend themselves, and the soldiers behind took the horses off the boat, and the mighty boats returned to continue to pick up the troops behind to cross the river.
Zhao Li and Zong Ze will lead the second and third groups of soldiers to cross the river.
A squad of the Western Xia army heard the movement and came to investigate, and the crossbowmen unceremoniously harvested them.
Qu Ping said to Jiang Boyan: "Lao Jiang, if this battle is won, it is possible to be crowned a king and a marquis, provided that you want to save your life." ”
Jiang Boyan touched the blade of the big knife with his thumb, confirmed its sharpness, and said, "Marshal, you are the marquis, my old Jiang can be a general." ”
"Isn't that the general now?"
"Now you sealed it, but the court didn't seal it. Cailian girls have been named a flying tiger general! ”
Qu Ping smiled and said, "Yo, jealous? Then work hard, and call the emperor to seal a ...... Is it good to seal a earth-shaking general? ”
"Then Wang Zhiquan didn't become a smiling general, haha." Jiang Boyan said with a smile.
A conversation calmed everyone's nervous mood.
After the team was assembled, Qu Ping said: "Brothers, the time has come to raise the prestige of our country, everyone cheer up. Come on! "Five thousand crossbow cavalry and ten thousand infantry resolutely slaughtered the Western Xia military camp. The sound of horses' hooves shook half of the wine in Li Changyou's wine glass in the camp.
Li Changyou said that something was wrong, so he hurriedly ran out of the camp tent to watch, only to see that the south of the barracks shook the sky, the earth shook the mountains, and the bright torches lit up the southern sky, as if suddenly the shrimp and crabs in the Yellow River had changed into generals, and it was like a divine soldier descending from the sky. Li Changyou secretly scolded the soldiers on the riverside for being so useless.
One of the generals led the horse over and said, "Marshal, get on the horse quickly." The vast Song army has been killed from the river, and there are only 20,000 soldiers in the battalion, which are not opponents at all, so quickly decide whether to go west to find a large army, or go east to join the Golden Vultures! ”
Li Changyou got on the horse, gritted his teeth and said, "How do you know if you can't beat if you don't fight!" Inform the whole army and line up to meet the enemy! In addition, send fast horses to call back our large army, and inform Jin Wushu that our military camp has been attacked, and ask him to send rescuers! ”
The ministry will do as it is commanded.
In the face of Qu Ping's sudden attack, how could the Western Xia army have plenty of time to integrate the troops, the south gate of the military camp faced the Yellow River, and there was no fence for horses, and Qu Ping's cavalry quickly rushed into the enemy camp. The Western Xia soldiers stretched out their bows and arrows, and shot when they raised their hands, but no matter how fast they were as fast as Qu Pingjun's crossbows, they couldn't shoot that far. Shooting at each other, it must be the Song army that has the advantage. The Western Xia soldiers had only shot more than a dozen Song cavalry, and the cavalry of the Song army had already slapped their horses and killed them, and coldly stabbed their blades into their bodies.
The Western Xia army was originally powerful with the horse army, but it had already been sent out to hunt down Zhang Jun, and there were only a few thousand horse troops left in the camp. Qu Ping led his troops to rush and kill in a circle, and the Western Xia army finally figured out the approximate number of enemy troops, Li Changyou calmed down and personally led the cavalry to follow Qu Ping's army behind the horse. At this time, the infantry of the Song army was killed again, and the Western Xia army had already been scattered by the cavalry, how could it have the ability to fight with the infantry of the Song army again, and under the chaotic melee, it was already a broken army. Qu Ping's infantry army's "Ten Complete Formations" played a huge advantageous role in the melee.
Li Changyou was so angry that his eyes were on fire, and he bit Qu Ping tightly. Qu Ping ordered the troops to reload the crossbow arrows, turn the horse army, and shoot angrily at Li Changyou's horse army.
Li Changyou was quite alert, and he hid on the other side of the horse's belly and escaped a catastrophe. However, the others who rushed ahead were not necessarily lucky, and those who were hit by the arrow were either on their backs or overturned. The wounded horses ran around, and the horses behind them collided with each other and there was a burst of people turning on their backs.
Qu Ping saw that Li Changyou was dressed differently, and thought that he should be the boss, so he shook his spear and went towards Li Changyou.
Li Changyou turned over and got on his horse again, and saw a general with a white horse and bright silver armor rushing from the opposite side, and said in his heart that this showy white horse general was the main general of the enemy army, capturing the thief and the king, and rushed towards Qu Ping with the same purpose.
The two sides will face off against the generals, and the soldiers against the soldiers, each showing their might.
Li Changyou was holding a big knife, like Guan Yunchang. The spears of both sides touched each other's broadswords and parted, testing each other's strength. Qu Ping said: "In the Imperial Camp of the Lower Song Dynasty, the military festival envoy Qu Ping, who is Your Excellency?" ”
"I am Marshal Li Changyou, the younger brother of the Great Xia Emperor! Ben Shuai doesn't kill the nameless, just take your sacrificial knife today! "Lee Chang-woo slashed with a knife.
Qu Ping opened his big knife, his wrist flicked, and the tip of the spear went straight to Li Changyou's heart, Qu Ping replied: "Then it depends on whether you Guan Yunchang is powerful, or I Zhao Zilong is powerful!" ”
Qu Ping has been in the Song Dynasty for less than a year, and although he has practiced diligently day and night, kung fu is not something that can be practiced overnight. If he reached the ground, Qu Ping would not be able to catch him. The two sides have been back and forth for more than a dozen rounds, and there is a stalemate.
Qu Ping suddenly thought, didn't the master teach himself the method of internal strength, why not try it at a critical moment. Qu Ping kicked his feet on the stirrups, rose into the air, rolled sideways in the air for 720 degrees, the spear turned into a thorn, and the spear poured into a spear, smashing heavily on the top of Li Changyou's head.
Li Changyou has never seen this kind of move, and when he saw Mount Tai pressing on the top, it seemed that the air was about to freeze. Li Changyou raised his knife and slashed through the spear, and Li Changyou's knife handle was immediately split in two, and the broadsword that had followed him for more than ten years died honorably. The tip of Qu Ping's spear swept across Li Changyou's eyebrows, leaving a bloody mark.
Li Changyou looked at the big knife broken in two in his hand in a daze, his expression fell abnormally, a drop of blood on his eyebrows slid down the bridge of his nose to his mouth, and the armor on his body also fell to the ground with a bang at this time.
Li Changyou looked down at the tip of the bright spear against his neck, and muttered: "You can actually cut the handle of my knife made of iron sandalwood!" ”
Qu Ping said disapprerovingly: "What's so great about iron sandalwood, I am a golden sandalwood." ”
Li Changyou sneered, how can there be any golden sandalwood in the world. If you lose, you are careless, you shouldn't risk your life, if there is a next time, the gentleman should set up a tent and strategize.
Qu Ping said: "You have been captured, hurry up and ask your subordinates to surrender, so as not to kill more people!" ”
Li Changyou threw away the remnants of the soldiers in his hand and said: "If you become a king and lose a king, you will kill me." ”
"The Song army treats prisoners of war preferentially, what are you doing to kill you." Qu Ping was angry and shouted, "Li Changyou has surrendered, you should surrender quickly, otherwise your life will be in danger!" ”
Lee Chang-woo said to himself: "I am defeated, not surrendered. ”
The Western Xia army has long been miserable, and the capture of the commander at this time is equivalent to the last straw that crushes the camel. The soldiers, led by the generals, abandoned their weapons and surrendered.
Qu Ping dragged Li Changyou off his horse, and the Western Xia general begged: "Please treat my marshal well!" Otherwise, I'll fight to the death! ”
Qu Ping patted the dust on Li Changyou's shoulder and said, "Don't worry, Song Jun is a teacher of benevolence and righteousness, and he will treat you preferentially." Qu Ping said to Li Changyou again: "Brother Changyou, please order all your troops who have left the camp to surrender!" ”
