Chapter 117: The Torch

At this time, seeing that there were fleeing bandit soldiers all over the field, Duan Shu often shouted: "The fourth squadron is pursuing, let those thieves take a good look, and the fate of the enemy of my Great Xia Nanyang soldiers, and the other squadrons will rest in place for an hour and a half." ”

The 4th Battalion, as an auxiliary soldier, with relatively little physical exertion, drove the enemy westward while there was still strength left, and they rushed out shouting from the line of defense that had been left out of the way by the 1st squadron, waving their waist knives, chasing after the retreating bandits, and driving them away from the main force that was charging away.

After several hours of high-intensity fighting, the other four battalions heard the order to rest, and their psychology relaxed, and they all fell down one after another as if they had lost their strength, never wanting to stand up again.

Seeing that the Great Xia soldiers were chasing, the thieves who fled west were panicked, and the thieves' foot soldiers had already evacuated half an hour ago, or they were rushed by the rout, and there was a danger of bombing the camp.

After nearly 20,000 breaks, the Tukou have collapsed. Under the drive and impact of the fourth squadron of the Great Xia Army, all the chieftains and officers began to flee in panic first, planning an ambush for many days, and ended in a great defeat.

*****************

In June of the first year of Xianheng in Great Xia, the situation in the Central Plains was in a period of temporary stability and recovery.

The wheat is about to be harvested, the rice is almost finished, and the emperor who is about to come to power has become a new expectation in the hearts of the people.

After the Great Xia Dynasty experienced such a great humiliation, I hope that he can select talents, make great efforts, and revitalize the national body, and after Chai Yurui, Zhao Chong, Zheng Ming, Fan Sui and other forces that have been entrenched in the court for many years, the remnants of the Wu Dynasty The court does have the possibility and space to cheer up, and a large number of scholars and folk warriors have begun to run and operate again, hoping to be able to work from the dragon and show their ambitions.

Even many people who were originally reclusive saw that the state was in danger. They have also gone out of the mountains one after another, wanting to contribute to the revitalization of the Wu Dynasty.

And during this time, people choose the direction. There are about three of them. One is Luoyang, which is located in the core of the Central Plains, the second is Jiankang, which is located on the south bank of the Yangtze River, and the third is Palembang, which is thousands of miles away from the Haijiang River.

At this time, after the ravages of the grassland people, Yanjing, the original capital of Great Xia, was already in shambles. The walls were destroyed. A large number of fortifications were destroyed, in fact, the army of Yan left fifteen years ago because there were too many dead people in Yanjing, and then the epidemic had already begun to appear.

This ancient city is desolate, the sixteen states of Yanyun are sparsely populated, and the once fertile land is rarely cultivated, but it has become a happy pasture for the small grassland tribes who can't squeeze into the Great Yan Dynasty.

It's a vast world. Great Xia and the Yan Empire are now the two central parties on the entire earth, careerists and real power are bustling around, waiting for the next change in the situation, waiting for the next change in the situation, waiting for the game between the two great powers again, and the people are looking forward to a longer peace in the gap between this little tranquility.

And on the margins of the unnoticed mainstream, a battle is going on.

In the South Seas, the northwest of Sumatra Island is a huge battlefield with a radius of more than 100,000 miles as far as the eye can see, and the shouts of more than 100,000 people on both sides are like thunder.

The rain came and went quickly, and on a cloudy day, the ironclad torrent of more than 10,000 people charged over like a huge wall!

The main force of the Great Xia Nanyang Army.

The most terrifying new type of infantry ever. The foundation of Nanyang immigration. Since Gan Tang established this army on the south bank of the Yangtze River eight years ago, most of the original 3,000 veterans, except for half of them, have become the low-level officers of this army and have become the soul of this army.

On the morning of June 23, the two armies met on the edge of the junction of Jambi and Sungai cities.

Neither the Keshali army nor the oncoming Nanyang army of Great Xia slowed down. At the end of the view, the two armies could see each other stretching out like black lines, the sky was overcast, and the flags were hunting.

The scouts who were released had already experienced several battles before they saw the main force of the opposing party, and after the defeat of the Jambi army, the Koshari army marched all the way west, and they encountered all the routs from the west, and they also knew that this army of 10,000 people coming from the southeast was an out-and-out formidable enemy.

This kind of perception did not have much influence on the lords and chiefs of Koshari.

Sensing that the other side was actually killing bravely in this direction, in addition to saying a bold word, it can only be said that this army was stunned by repeated victories - he was not without doubts in his heart, in order to avoid the other side from manipulating the terrain, Sharif ordered the whole army to make a detour of five miles, turned in one direction, and then charged slowly towards the other side.

On the other side of the field of vision, the troops of the Nanyang Army were in a strict formation, their front row was lined with spears, and the front row of soldiers held long-handled giant blades, walking towards the Keshali army step by step, and the steps were as neat as if stepping on a human heartbeat.

When the two armies face each other like this, in fact, as a general, there is not much choice - at the very least, when the rear road is cut off, there is no other choice.

There are many things that are decided, often without giving much time. Everything in the past few days is fast-paced, the Nanyang army went down to occupy the monument and stepped on Shuangxi, all the way to kill is an extremely fast rhythm, Sharif got the back road Sungai was attacked, there is no way to retreat, looking back at the blow is also an extremely fast rhythm.

The encounter between the two sides is also falling into this rhythm.

The other party did not hesitate to set up a front-facing formation, and his morale was high. The King's Guard, as the main force, faced a formation of mainly infantry on the terrain of Jambiwon, and if they chose to hesitate, they would not have to fight in the future.

What's more, for hundreds of years, as the overlord of the land of Nanyang, the tactics of the Kesari army have never been too particular, once they encounter the enemy, they will gather together with a large army. Charge towards the opponent's formation. In the case that the terrain is not too harsh, there is no army in the South Seas that can block the crushing of such a powerful army head-on.

The trumpet sounded in the opponent's formation first lit the fuse, and Sharif looked at it sharply and waved his hand to order. Then, the dull beating of the charging brass drums sounded in the Khashari army. Immediately, the tide surged forward, faster and faster, like a huge wall, tens of thousands of people rushed to roll up the dust on the ground, the earth roared, and the mountains and seas came.

The front was about to step into a stone's throw away, and Sharif faintly saw the opposing army rushing backwards in the rear, and he felt that something was wrong.

But at such a distance, if there is really a trap ahead. The army is not without the ability to change formations or directly charge the past.

And the other party turned around, the sharpness has been lost, as long as the distance passes, the other party will experience slaughter - in the past, such whimsical enemies who made the army turn around and then pushed the obstacles out to defend it, he did not have to see it, often just died faster.

Something flew up in the sky and then fell......
