Chapter 648: A Little Try
Qin Ming led a team of men and horses to gallop all the way to this side pretending to follow the horseshoe prints, seeing that it was less than a kilometer away from the mound, he suddenly waved his hand, and the galloping team immediately stopped, showing excellent discipline and training level.
They didn't know what these 'deer' were thinking, they saw that they were about to fall into a trap but stopped, what were they grinding and chirping there, why don't they hurry up and die!
They were angry and anxious, but they also knew that going out at this time would be a failure, so they had to be patient while cursing Qin Ming and their ancestors while continuing to wait.
At this time, suddenly there was a tsunami-like roar around them, and the brothers were startled, and hurriedly looked around, and suddenly found that they didn't know when two cavalry suddenly appeared behind them, and they were already less than a kilometer away from them.
And at this time, Qin Ming's cavalry also moved, and the three-way soldiers and horses besieged them in a "D" shape, and the "breakaway" brothers suddenly realized that they had been tricked, it turned out that they were not hunters, but prey.
The change of roles made them very painful, and they couldn't adapt to it for a while, but in just a few breaths, Xu Ning and Shi Jin's cavalry had already galloped in front of them, and then a few rounds of salvos made them fall three or four hundred people.
The "breakaway" brothers just woke up from a dream, and hurriedly ordered their subordinates to start counterattacking, but it was already too late, their previous formation was facing away from Shi Jin and Xu Ning's men and horses, even if they had outstanding equestrian skills, it was extremely difficult to change the formation in such a short period of time, and when they were finally easy to convert, Qin Ming's team arrived again, and they were attacked again.
A bad premonition was born from the bottom of his heart, and the ferocity of "separating" his brother broke out at the critical moment, roaring and advancing without retreating, each holding a weapon and rushing towards Xu Ning and Shi Jin, wanting to rely on their own force to kill a bloody way.
It's just that they chose the wrong opponent, Shi Jin and Xu Ning are both angry now, and they all shouted hello when they saw them coming to die, and then the four of them caught and fought together.
Although these two people are brave, they are just the commanders under the command of Chamur, and Shi Jin and Xu Ning are both the temperance envoys of the Tang Kingdom, the real generals, and the two of them are angry Shi Jin and Xu Ning are even more angry, and in less than ten rounds, I saw Shi Jin shouting loudly and cutting off the horse with a knife in his hand, and almost at the same time, he was stabbed and hooked by Xu Ning's golden spear, and his left arm was broken in response, and the person also fell.
Seeing that the main general was killed, the soldiers under their command were suddenly in chaos, and the team that just wanted to escape Qin Ming was also killed, Thunderbolt Fire was calm with a big black face and was not angry, seeing that the two Western Xia thieves were defeated and didn't catch half of their own half of it, they were even more angry, and the mace in his hand was thrown away and vented to the rest of the people, his Thunderbolt Fire skill was originally suitable for group battles, and now it was like a tiger entering a wolf pack, and he was swept down twenty or thirty in the blink of an eye, and the soldiers of Western Xia were even more shocked, and they rode their horses to bypass this murderous star.
At this time, there was no suspense in the battle, the rotation of the Tang State was three thousand to one thousand, the two sides of the generals were three to zero, and the formation was surrounded and suppressed on three sides.
It's just that the ferocity of this group of people can also be seen at this time, even so, none of them are willing to surrender, even if they are injured, they are all fierce resistance, Qin Ming and the three of them are all angry at this time, they don't have the slightest sympathy for these executioners, whoever dares to resist will be killed directly with a knife, and they don't ask at all, anyway, Du Jia just wants some living people to pay tribute to it Now it must be enough, and I don't care if there are a few more or less, see this group' The southerners' murderous spirit was completely different from what they had seen before, and some of the Western Xia soldiers began to panic, and some began to kneel down and beg for mercy.
Qin Ming and the three of them ordered that the living ones be tied up, and then the dead ones were dragged by horses, as for the two "detachments", Shi Jin's knife was a little heavier, the elder brother broke away from the flower and was cut off by a knife, and the younger brother was lucky enough to break off and was captured alive after breaking an arm, but he immediately found out that the bad luck was actually himself.
When Qin Ming and his three people brought back the group of people from the Western Xia Kingdom, even the dead and alive, and the rest of them were very excited, especially Zong Ze, their faces showed an unbelievable look, he had fought for most of his life, and he had no less battles with the Western Xia Kingdom, basically they lost more and won less, and even those victories were all narrow victories, so that they completely annihilated a thousand-person team, and their own side seemed to have lost less than 200 people, this is simply too beautiful, and it is definitely a great achievement in the Song Dynasty.
It's just that he didn't know that Du Jia and the others were not satisfied with this battle loss ratio, they were almost all victorious before, and the loss was less than one-tenth of the opponent's at most, but this time it was as high as two percent - although two-thirds were wounded, but it had already made Du Jia very unhappy, his subordinates were all elite, and dozens of dead and wounded made him heartbroken, and two hundred people were already a great loss.
He pulled Qin Ming and the other three to inquire carefully, and did not let go of the details of the opponent's tactics, weapons, training level, morale, etc., and after understanding him, he knew that he still underestimated the opponent.
These Western Xia soldiers were different from the Song Dynasty troops, and they had three significant characteristics: first, the scimitars in their hands were very sharp, and their moves were not similar to those of Middle Earth, which was very weird; Second, their horsemanship was outstanding, and almost all of them had the level of elite cavalry here; Third, their personalities are extremely strong, and if they were replaced by Song soldiers, they would basically lose their fighting spirit when they saw the general die in battle, but they fought almost all the way to the end.
So this led to a mistake in the judgment of Qin Ming, Shi Jin and Xu Ning, for example, after the successful surprise attack on both sides of Shi Jin and Xu Ning at the beginning, according to the previous experience of fighting against the Song soldiers, they could shoot at least three rounds of arrows first and then melee combat, but after two rounds this time, the Western Xia soldiers reacted and counterattacked, resulting in some casualties among the Tang soldiers; Then there was the unfamiliarity with their swordsmanship and scimitar in close combat, and the lack of preparation for a brazen counterattack after the final defeat, which also increased a lot of casualties.
After listening to the report of the three generals, Du Jia also nodded and asked the entourage next to him to record carefully, and then let the rest of the civil and military officials talk about their views together, Zong Ze couldn't help but sigh when he saw this scene: "Tang State is worthy of being Tang State, after such a big victory, there is no pride and complacency, not to mention, and is still actively summing up experience, if our court can also do this, how can we be bullied by the Western Xia State for so many years?" ”
