Chapter 987: The arrogant army will be defeated
The Beiwei Army is a strong army composed of Yue Fei's personal soldiers, and it can be said that it is the most elite army in the entire Southern Song Dynasty army, including 8,000 elite cavalry, as well as more than 10,000 infantry, these cavalry carry long and short knives, about ten short crossbows, twenty hard bows and arrows, equipped with helmets, iron blades and leather armor, this kind of equipment can only be possessed by the Beiwei army, and other armies cannot be equipped at all, even if it is Han Shizhong.
Yue Fei can let the Beiwei army attack, which can also show that he is full of confidence in the Beiwei army. For a long time, whenever the war reached the most critical moment, Yue Fei would order the Beiwei army to attack to change the situation of the war. The Beiwei Army has never disappointed Yue Fei, this time Xiao Heda led the army to attack the camp, and Yue Fei asked the Beiwei Army to teach Xiao Heda a lesson.
The big camp was opened, Wang Gui held a big knife in his hand, and led the army to rush out of the big camp, only to see him open his bow and arrows, and without waiting for Xiao Heda to react, thousands of sharp arrows broke through the air and shot towards Hu Cai.
Xiao Heda was showing off his might in front of the camp, where did he think that Wang Gui really dared to lead the army to attack, and at this time it was the time when the army rushed through the camp of the Yue family's army, and the rear army roared past, where did he think that Wang Gui saw countless bows and arrows as soon as he saw it, and instantly saw a lot of Hu cavalry falling to the ground, trampled to death by war horses, even if they were not trampled to death, they were chased and killed by Wang Gui behind.
"Damn." Xiao Heda saw it clearly, immediately turned the horse's head, tens of thousands of troops stood quietly on the battlefield, among the two armies, there were many corpses lying down, and there were some ownerless war horses, which were making a wail. Xiao Heda's face was hideous, this was an insult to him, although he did not dare to be presumptuous in the Tang Army, he looked down on the Han people, especially the Southern Song Dynasty, when Zhao Song was trembling in front of the Liao army, and now the Southern Song Dynasty inherited the Zhao Song Dynasty Temple.
It's just that he didn't expect that on the battlefield of Huai'an, he was repeatedly sniped by the Southern Song Dynasty army, and his troops were lost, thinking that at this time, Lin Chong was watching from the city wall, and Xiao Heda couldn't wait to rush up now and kill Wang Gui.
"Back, back, kill." Wang Gui raised the big knife in his hand, roared angrily, and killed Xiao Heda. The Beiwei army behind him followed, although the gap between thousands and 30,000 was too much, but in the eyes of this group of Beiwei army, there was no fear at all, and they still followed behind Wang Gui and launched a desperate charge.
"Teach these abominable southerners." Xiao Heda roared, and also waved the big knife in his hand to kill him.
"Crossbow bolts!" At this time, Wang Gui on the opposite side suddenly roared, and before Xiao Heda could react, he saw countless crossbow arrows roaring out from the opposite side, shooting straight towards his head.
"Damn." Xiao Heda and other Hu cavalry are good at bows and arrows, and they also carry bows and arrows, but this time the two sides charged head-on, and there was no chance to shoot arrows at all, he forgot that the Central Plains army had crossbows and arrows in addition to bows and arrows, and the Southern Song Dynasty army was equipped with this kind of thing, and in the face of countless crossbow arrows, he could only wave the big knife in his hand and block the crossbow arrows in front of him.
It's just that his martial arts are very strong, and the Hu cavalry around him is different, he was caught off guard by Wang Gui's crossbow arrows, and there were countless casualties in one look, and the front army disappeared a lot in an instant. Even some soldiers reined in their horses in a hurry to avoid the killing in front of them, but there were still countless war horses rushing up behind them, and for a while, the Tang army was in chaos.
"Kill!" Wang Gui's face was gloomy, and when he saw Xiao Heda in the army, he killed the big knife in his hand, and the army behind him also crashed into the chaotic army.
These Song troops cooperate in pairs, or cut the horse's leg with a big knife, or block the enemy's slashing, obviously this set of tactics is specially aimed at Hu Cai, although it is more dangerous, but always at the last moment, Hu Cai fell to the ground because of the injury of the war horse, and was unable to move, and was finally killed by the Song army.
Zhang Xian and Wang Gang, who were following closely behind Wang Gui, saw that Hu Cai had fallen into chaos, where would they let go of such a good opportunity, and led the cavalry around them to break into the chaos, and nearly 50,000 troops fought on the narrow battlefield.
On the city wall, Lin Chong looked clearly, his face was gloomy, and his eyebrows were furrowed. Hu Qi is brave and good at fighting, but Hu Qi is mostly unruly and unruly, looking down on the Han people in the Central Plains, if he didn't press it himself, he doesn't know how many mistakes he made, this time let Xiao Heda send troops, just to use the advantage of cavalry to achieve the purpose of harassing Yue Fei. Although there were many soldiers and horses in the Southern Song Dynasty, it was still difficult to deal with tens of thousands of cavalry.
What made Lin Chong angry was that Xiao Heda obviously did not act according to his orders, although it was a cavalry, but this kind of large-scale cavalry fight was undoubtedly not suitable now, and at this time Xiao Heda had already fallen behind, and the casualties had exceeded thousands, and it was not suitable for attacking.
"The mourning soldiers will win, and the proud soldiers will be defeated. Xiao Heda is too rampant, and this battle will undoubtedly be lost. One of the generals next to him had a gloomy face and whispered to the side. Xiao Heda led the cavalry to come to the aid, and everyone was originally very welcome, but this guy who was born in the Liao State and served in Western Xia surpassed the other party in martial arts except Lin Chong, and the rest of the people were simply taken into his eyes.
"Xiao Heda is dead and dead, but these 30,000 troops can't be lost, once lost, I'm afraid we won't be able to balance Yue Fei and let Yue Fei leave Huai'an." Lin Chong is not happy or sad, he is a cautious person himself, and now that he has been entrusted with a heavy task by Li Jing, he is more cautious, knowing that he must not fail.
"So what should we do now?" As soon as the adjutant general's voice fell, he suddenly pointed to the distance and said, "Marshal, Yue Fei has left the camp." ”
Lin Chong saw it clearly, only to see Yue Fei leading the army out slowly, and suddenly turned into a long sigh, and said: "Yue Fei is really powerful, once he finds that things are in his favor, he will immediately go out of the camp to support, if we go out of the city to help, I am afraid it will cause a big war between the two sides, he will defeat us desperately, and then seize the city, Mingjin!" Mingjin collects troops, as for how many soldiers and horses can be collected! Lin Chong immediately saw Yue Fei's thoughts, which made him even more afraid to go out of the city to help.
The generals nodded when they heard this, and hurriedly ordered Mingjin to collect the troops, and Lin Chong could only lead the army to open the city gate, ordered the archers to hold down the position, and Yue Fei and Yue Fei stood quietly under the city, while waiting for Xiao Heda to withdraw his troops back to the city.
Yue Fei looked at the middle-aged man under the city gate, his eyes flashed with coldness, even if he was a senior brother, Yue Fei was not satisfied with Lin Chong, during this time, he didn't even say hello, even if there was a greeting, it was a fight between generals, where is there any brotherhood at all.
