Chapter 437: Zhang Xian Appears
In the east, after a few years of lying on the back and trying their courage, the combat strength of the Western Xia cavalry was even greater than before.
Although Zhang Xin boosted morale, and the 20,000 Zhang family troops desperately moved forward, they still had a huge gap with the Western Xia cavalry.
Zhang Xin himself had fallen in a pool of blood, his left arm had been cut off, and a war horse had run over him, and he knew that he was going to die.
But at such a moment, he had a relieved smile on his face.
He didn't know if he could win this battle, but he knew that he had given everything and that he had no regrets for his life.
"Our Zhang Jiajun only leaves defeat for future generations! Hey, the possibility of losing this battle is also very high! The people of Western Xia are so strong, I really don't know how His Majesty Xuanwu destroyed Western Xia in the first place! Big brother is embarrassed, although I died here in battle, I don't know, but it's enough! It is enough to be worthy of your conscience! Zhang Xin said secretly.
Another horse stepped on him, and the pain came, and he knew that his ribs were broken, and he gradually lost his breath.
Countless people in the personal soldiers beside Zhang Xin also fell in pools of blood.
As for the rest of the soldiers of the Zhang Family, tens of thousands of people have died in battle at this moment, and there are not many left! The rest of the people again showed timid expressions, and some wanted to retreat.
But at this time, the Western Xia army suddenly began to move towards the north!
For the rest of their lives after the catastrophe, the soldiers of the Zhang family army were unbelievable!
"What happened?"
"Why did the Tanguts retreat?"
"What about General Zhang? Where is he? ”
It didn't take long for them to find Zhang Xin's body, some were crying, some had respectful expressions on their faces, but more people were still worried and terrified, they were afraid that the enemy army would come again.
After a while, Li Shou came to them with a group of young people, and they began to follow Li Shou in the direction of Tucheng.
They never imagined that they would be co-opted by a group of "militias"! It's just that at this moment, the dragons have no leader, and they can only listen to Li Shou. Following behind these youths, they felt a little safe.
******
Yue Yun was still closely following behind the Golden Vulture, he was a few tens of meters away from the Golden Vulture, but he had never been able to catch up.
Yue Yun felt that his mind was a little dizzy, he had just been stabbed in the shoulder and had lost too much blood.
At that moment, Yue Yun ripped off a piece of his clothes and covered the wound, but he was still dizzy.
He almost fell off his horse, but he still held his breath and pressed forward.
The wind and snow blew, often blocking his eyes, and he struggled to wipe the snowflakes from his face and continued to grit his teeth and move forward.
The same goes for the Golden Vultures!
Jin Wushu could hear the constant sound of horses' hooves coming from behind, and he knew that the Jurchen army was heading towards here.
"I stop, as long as I can block the generals of the Song army behind me, and our army arrives, I will be able to win!" Jin Wushu said secretly.
However, he soon felt that this was not the right idea.
Yue Yun was not the only one behind, but hundreds of Song Jun were also behind.
If he stopped and fell into the siege of the Song army, there was only one way to die.
So he could only grit his teeth and move on.
Another half an hour had passed, and Jin Wushu was still on the run, and Yue Yun was still pursuing.
The road ahead was rough, and sometimes the snow was so thick that it could almost cover the horse's legs! In later modern times, snow disasters often occurred in the northwest, not to mention this era, the snow in the north was much heavier than in later generations.
Suddenly, the Golden Vulture let out an exclamation, only to see his body fall down violently!
It turned out that there was a deep ditch ahead!
This deep ravine is buried in snow, and it is impossible to see it at all on weekdays, and it is even more difficult to see it at night.
Yue Yun followed behind the Golden Vulture, he was getting closer and closer to the Golden Vulture, when the Golden Vulture suddenly disappeared, Yue Yun was stunned, he hadn't figured out what was going on, and the whole person had fallen into a deep ditch.
If ordinary people fall into such a deep ditch, there is only one way to die, but the Golden Vulture and Yue Yun's martial arts are not trivial.
Both of them were covered in snow, but they were still moving forward in the snow.
After the cavalry of the Song army came here, some people fell into it, and the rest of them were in a hurry, and there were tens of thousands of golden soldiers chasing after them, and they didn't dare to stay here, so they went to both sides at the moment.
The Golden Vulture finally crawled out of the deep ditch, and he gasped for breath.
At this moment, he felt much safer, but after only a moment, there was a noise behind him, and Yue Yun also crawled out of it.
"Damn it!" Jin Wushu cursed again, and he could only continue to run, while Yue Yun still pursued behind.
After a quarter of an hour, a dense forest appeared in front of him, and the Golden Vulture rushed in, and not long after, Yue Yun also rushed in.
It was even darker, and the Golden Vulture was finally able to catch a breath.
"Our army is coming, and after I capture this Song army general, I must kill him alive! I've never been in such a mess in my life! Jin Wushu said secretly.
However, at this moment, he suddenly heard the sound of bows and arrows coming from the east!
"What happened?" The Golden Vulture was stunned for a moment!
He felt something bad in his heart!
******
More than ten miles away in the east, a cavalry of the Song army of 20,000 men had appeared.
The 20,000 men were divided into seven or eight parts, and they attacked to the west.
There was the sound of bowstrings vibrating everywhere, and the Jurchens and Tanguts kept falling!
The Jurchen and Western Xia armies also immediately launched a counteroffensive at this moment.
I saw a Jurchen team of 10,000 people rushing towards a Song army team in the east, but they had just arrived, and this Song army team had already retreated!
The rest of the Song army teams on both wings came towards here, and finally the three Song army teams surrounded this one Jurchen 10,000 people!
They still used their bows and arrows to cover their shots, and when the Jurchen 10,000 people tried to rush in front of them, they would retreat, and then more Song troops would come from other directions.
The Song army is only 20,000 people, but it feels like it is everywhere in all directions!
The 20,000 men of the Song army actually surrounded the Jurchens and Tanguts who rushed forward in all directions.
This is the tactic of the Mongols in history, who took the cavalry of light cavalry to the extreme! At this moment, the Song army is such a tactic!
Wanyan was in the midst of the Jurchen army, and suddenly encountered a large-scale attack by the Song army, and he was also extremely cautious in his heart.
He judged that the number of Song troops was not as large as the number of Jurchen and Western Xia cavalry, but as soon as the war began, he realized that something was wrong.
He felt as if the Jurchen and Western Xia cavalry had rushed into a big mouth, and their ranks were constantly being devoured.
The ranks of the Song army are constantly adjusting and changing, and their cavalry ranks do not seem to have any formation, which is completely different from the phalanx of infantry! However, after each tweak, the form of attack and defense will change! At a certain point, the Song army was retreating, however, more Song troops around were faintly encircled.
Li Qianshun led the cavalry to charge forward!
The Western Xia cavalry had the determination to fight to the death!
But Li Qianshun really can't be regarded as an excellent general, and the more the Western Xia cavalry advances, the greater the resistance, as if they are stuck in a quagmire! The Song army was all light cavalry, just riding and shooting, and they died!
"It's only been a few years, and Song Jun has become so strong! The same cavalry, we are so much worse than them? Li Qianshun was frustrated.
In fact, it is not that the Western Xia cavalry is too different from the Song army, but that the general Li Qianshun is too different from the Song army!
This time it was Yue Fei's brother Zhang Xian, one of the most important generals of the Yue family army in history, who led 20,000 cavalry! The reason why the Yue family army was able to become the strongest army in the Southern Song Dynasty was not only due to Yue Fei alone, but also to Zhang Xian and countless other generals of the Yue family army!
Moreover, the tactics of the Western Xia army and the tactics of the Song army were too different! Mongolian cavalry archery is almost the pinnacle tactics of cavalry in the Cold Weapon Era, far superior to the tactics of Western Xia cavalry! The Western Xia cavalry fought just a swarm, just a frontal charge! The number of bows and arrows in the Western Xia cavalry was also limited, while the cavalry of the Song army all carried bows and arrows, and at the moment they used pure cavalry archery.
"Withdraw! Song Jun had already noticed it! It's 20,000 now, and there may be more to come! It seems that it will be difficult to get revenge this time! Let's immediately return to the north of the Gobi, and then leave this land completely and go farther away! Our party members can't stay in this land anymore! Li Qianshun thought for a moment and gave an order suddenly! He came to the Central Plains to take revenge, but now after this attack, he was disheartened, and he just wanted to leave this land from now on, like the former Huns, and go to the endless west.
The Western Xia army abruptly withdrew from the battle and headed north.
The Jurchens were originally under the command of the Golden Vultures, but the Golden Vulture fled, and after that, they were unwilling to rescue the Golden Vulture immediately, so the rest of the commanders and commanders no longer obeyed his orders.
There are quite a few Jurchen troops, but the command system is almost paralyzed, and they are all fighting alone with each commander and a thousand commanders! Some still want to look for the Golden Vulture Technique, some have already rushed up, and some are still hesitating!
Not long after, the tens of thousands of Jurchen troops were finally unable to resist and headed towards the north.
"It's snowy! It seems that I came in time, and I didn't let the Jurchens and Tanguts conquer Xiazhou! Brothers, let's get from the Central Plains here, and finally there is another big war! General Yue wanted to completely eliminate the hidden dangers of Western Xia, and ordered me and Dong Xian to lead 20,000 cavalry each to block this enemy army and enter the north of the Gobi! Let's go, chase the enemy army! Zhang Xian laughed.
The Song soldiers beside him all smiled excitedly.
They only had 20,000 men, but they pursued the Jurchen and Western Xia armies, which were far outnumbered by them, like wolves chasing their prey. They all know that the current situation is actually dangerous, the number of Jurchens is still extremely large, if they stop and reorganize the army, they still have the strength to fight! However, they also have a back-up plan!
