Chapter 460 Head to head who is heroic

The Xiangqing army of the Western Xia, formerly known as the Lingzhou soldiers who followed Li Jiqian, this army was dominated by cavalry at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and after Li Jiqian occupied Yinzhou and other places, he fought with the Uighurs several times, occupied the entire Hetao corridor, and after having a horse-producing land, the entire Xiangqing army turned into a cavalry. The cavalry of the Xiangqing army and the Xijing cavalry of Yelu Dashi are still very different, the Liao cavalry is a combination of light and heavy, focusing on charging into battle and large-scale engagement, while the cavalry of the Xiangqing army has been mainly light cavalry, focusing on roundabout attacks and disturbances. In the vicinity of Shilijing, Fei Yu used all the cavalry to attack the infantry formation under the division and Zhao Yougong, and in a way, he had given up the advantage of the Xiangqing army. But it's no wonder Fei Yu, there are only more than 20,000 Han infantry in Shilijing, does he still have to attack and disturb him? Tens of thousands of cavalry, frightened by more than 20,000 infantry, dare not fight head-on, this is not a big joke?

Fei Yu wants to storm Shilijing, although there is some meaning of attacking others' strengths with his own shortcomings, but Zhao Yougong can't stand it much, more than 20,000 people, he can only rely on his own more than 3,000 descendants of the Dingguo Army, Ye Jingtang's security army and the people and horses in the breeder, the variables are too great. Once the Western Xia cavalry broke through the outer defense line and the army formation was in chaos, the security army, which was not a single heart, would definitely be uncontrolled, and once the more than 6,000 security troops were in chaos, even if there were men and horses in the division, it would not work. So just in case, the best way is to stabilize everyone, at this time, Zhao Yougong stood on a high place and looked at the menacing Xiangqing army, while the seed master stood aside with a dignified look on his face.

"Your Highness, the Tangut people used all the cavalry, it seems that their hearts are not small. Although there are ten miles of wells to rely on. But you have to defeat this army. Easier said than done. Therefore, I hope that His Royal Highness will make a decision as soon as possible, and don't give many lives. ”

The tone of the seed master was sincere, and it was not as cold as before, and after a night of contact, the seed master found that His Royal Highness King Qin was not as gentlemanly as the legend said, he was calm and resolute, but like a rare wise man. But why did such a person make an arson and go deep into Western Xia. What about putting the army in danger?

Zhao Yougong naturally understood the meaning of the planter, which was a euphemism to say that he Zhao was stubborn and inconsiderate of the soldiers' lives. Defeat tens of thousands of Tangut people, in the absence of cavalry to help, and the other party has a large number of cavalry, unless you are a fool, you will think that you can defeat the Tanguts. Zhao Yougong is not a fool, he is a smart man, his right hand is slightly raised, feeling the wind at the end of August, the wind does not stop. Autumn is not far away.

"General, when did this king say that he was going to defeat the Tanguts? Hehe. Without the benefit of cavalry, it is wishful thinking to defeat more than 30,000 Western Xia infantry cavalry coalition troops! As soon as Zhao Yougong said this, the seed master frowned inexplicably, and before the seed master could speak, Zhao Yougong had already turned around and pointed to the south of Shili Well, and said with a slight smile, "I also hope that the general will send people to the Tumen Valley, whether the king and these 20,000 lives can survive depends on whether the general can occupy the Tumen Valley." ”

The face of the seed master was surprised, and at this time, a monstrous wave turned in his heart, because he had already heard something from Zhao Yougong's words, this His Royal Highness the King of Qin didn't seem to have thought of fighting a decisive battle with the Xixia people from the beginning. Maybe His Royal Highness King Qin has other arrangements, but the seed master center is angry, he doesn't want to be led by the nose in a daze, and he can't be a coolie for others in a vague way, "Your Highness, can you tell me why you want to come to Longzhou, what is the reason why it is worth His Highness to gamble with the lives of tens of thousands of Song Erlang?" ”

The seed master wants to kill people, and the one who wants to kill is His Royal Highness the King of Qin, who is rich and handsome. If he didn't follow Zhao Yougong's orders, and no other reinforcements arrived at Shilijing, what would be the result? That is, thousands of security troops and Dingguo troops were surrounded by the Xixia people, and on the plain of more than 20 miles from Shilijing to Longzhou, the cavalry of the Xiangqing army could be slashed and killed to their heart's content, madman, Zhao Yougong, this bastard is completely gambling, he is gambling with the life of Song Erlang tonight. No matter what the reason, Zhao Yougong's behavior is unforgivable, he has led the soldiers for decades, and he has never thought about gambling with the soldier's life.

Zhao Yougong would not blame the seed master, because there was a reason for anger in the seed master, he turned his face, his expression condensed, and he glanced at the seed master lightly, "General Seed, this king is not afraid to sue you, this king has not regretted it, even if the sons of the department are killed and injured!" ”

"Why?"

"Because of their deaths, can my Great Song recapture Yinzhou City? I'm not afraid to sue you, this king has already thought about fighting Yinzhou before he came, and coming to Longzhou is to slow down the speed of Li Bingzuo's eastward advance, as long as Li Bingzuo can delay the march for half a day, everyone will die here, and this king will not hesitate! There was a kind of rigidity in Zhao Yougong's tone, he clenched his fists, his eyes were deep, he had always been so firm, as long as he held something, he would go forward. Is it easy to fold? Maybe it's right, but Zhao Yougong thinks that you are broken, that's because you are not rigid enough, just as a diamond, what can hinder it?

In Zhao Yougong, there was a bloody nature of death and no life in the seed master, and in the face of Zhao Yougong's unswerving gaze, there was no retreat among the seed masters. At this moment, there was a desire to see through Zhao Yougong, what was the force that supported this young man to sit down for such an earth-shattering thing?

Laying down Yinzhou City, once how many people's dreams, from Emperor Taizu to the first emperor Zhezong, millions of Song Erlang ran into a wall under Yinzhou City, and now, this twenty-year-old young man is not afraid to say the bold words of retaking Yinzhou, can he succeed? Maybe not, but there is one point, Zhao Yougong is recognized by the seed master, if he can take Yinzhou City, it is worth it that 20,000 Song Erlang will be buried here.

In the northwest land, whoever can occupy Wuzhou can control the Great Wall and guard the westward artery of Yunzhou Mansion. And if anyone occupies Yinzhou City, then they can put half of Western Xia under the horse's hooves according to the geographical advantage. Yinzhou, the strategic position is too important, if there is Yinzhou, the Great Song Dynasty can be transformed into a party with geographical advantages. But if Yinzhou can't be defeated, Zhao Yougong will be a sinner, not only those who attacked Yinzhou City will die, but Da Song Erlang near Longzhou will also die in vain.

"His Royal Highness's ambition will be admired by the general, but in case it is impossible to obtain Yinzhou. Therefore, I hope that His Highness will make a decision as soon as possible. Don't delay."

Zhao Yougong recognized the thing. Is it so easy to change? He looked at the seedmaster, snorted coldly, and said with a firm face, "Among the seeders, this king is ordering you, not discussing. What you have to do now is to give this king the gate of the territory and leave a way for the army to retreat. Retreat early? No way. This king firmly believes that he can take down Yinzhou City, so everyone must give this king a long time to be firmly nailed to Shilijing, who dares to retreat, don't blame this king for being black-hearted. ”

Turning around and staring at the generals, he pulled out the Qin King Sword, the dark blade shining in the sun, "Yang Zhi, from now on." This king's personal soldiers are led by you, and show this king the southern intersection of Shilijing. Whoever dares to withdraw will be killed. ”

"Whoa!"

"Lin Chong, you lead all the soldiers of the Dingguo Army to set up a formation in front, no matter how much you pay, give this king a hard knock on the leg of the Western Xia people, but there is a Western Xia cavalry who ran to Shilijing and raised his head to see him!"

"Whoa!"

After some orders, even the seed division was a little moved, until now, Zhao Yougong commanded his own descendant Dingguo Army, as for the security army and Weizhou soldiers and horses, they did not mention. No one is a fool, everyone has understood what Zhao Yougong meant, that is, no matter what other people's attitudes are, Zhao Yougong and his Dingguo army will definitely be nailed to the death in Shilijing, even if the whole army is annihilated, even if it is in the face of cavalry several times larger than themselves. Zhao Yougong ignored Ye Jingtang and others in the seed division, he was the first soldier in this battle, living and dying with the Dingguo army, as for the seed division, he either led the troops to the top, or waited and watched.

Colorful clouds fluttering, the fighting spirit is surging, the rumbling drum sounded in the west of Shilijing, and three thousand soldiers of the Dingguo Army under the leadership of Lin Chong and Zhao Yougong marched out of Shilijing, and lined up outside the town to meet the Xiangqing army that followed. Three thousand foot soldiers in the face of nearly 10,000 iron cavalry, how to see how it was done by a stupid man, but the soldiers of the Dingguo Army did not hesitate at all, they knew that this time was extremely dangerous, but they still stepped forward, the footsteps were firm and calm, the neat array, the roar that shook the sky, the majestic river, who could stop the sharpness of the Dingguo army?

This is a group of brave men who go to death, this is a group of warriors who take military orders as their lives, under heavy pressure, there is no panic, this is the famous Dingguo Army, they prohibit it, like a command.

The shield soldiers were in front, one row, two rows, three rows, Zhao Yougong concentrated all the shield soldiers in front, and there was no swordsman and gunner behind him. Who said that the infantry could not stop the cavalry charge, let everyone see the bravery of the national army today.

"Shield-bearer forward, crouch in front, raise in rear, pikeman, discard the gun, resist the shield!" Zhao Yougong stood in the center of the big array, and the ink-colored Qin King Sword was raised high, and he roared angrily, piercing the sky.

The corners of Fei Yu's mouth were slightly upturned, and his nose kept humming, this group of hateful Han people, it was not good to rely on the Shilijing Valley to set up defenses, but they ran out of the town to line up, did they think that the swords of the Western Xia warriors were not good?

A group of black cavalry, like an inky cloud, they swarmed in, the horse's hooves seemed to trample the earth, Fei Yu's spear pointed obliquely ahead, and a sturdy tall horse neighed loudly, "Look at the left and right wings, slaughter this group of Han dogs." ”

Boom, the rumbling sound of horses' hooves is near, like a group of steel torrents crashing into the Dingguo Army's large array, the impact of the war horse is not comparable to manpower, take down the war horse and hit the shield of Zhangyu, many Dingguo Army soldiers were knocked to the ground, the heavy shield pressed on the body, the horse's hooves stepped on, and the body became a pile of meat puree. Blood seeped into the yellow earth, the howls were loud and unheard, the soldiers of the Dingguo Army did not have time to grieve, many shield bearers in the front row fell, and the rear swarmed up, and the gap that had just been knocked open was quickly blocked. But the Xixia cavalry kept rushing over, and the shield hand was crumbling when he was hit, seeing this situation, many soldiers of the Dingguo Army had red eyes, lost the steel knife in their hands, and turned themselves into an ordinary shield hand. Finally, in front of the life-infused iron shield of the Dingguo army, the speed of the Western Xia cavalry slowed down, and the entire charging formation was also a little scattered. Some Western Xia soldiers were a little hairy by these Han shield bearers, and swung their knives to cut them, but those shield bearers squatted and hid under the shields, and they couldn't hurt at all.

In times of crisis, there are always warriors coming, the Dingguo army is not afraid of death, and the Western Xia cavalry is not short of brave people, some people hold their sabers tightly, jump directly from the horse, they jump into the crowd of shield bearers, swing the knife and slash, at this time there is no pikeman and knife hand behind the shield soldier to protect, and there are instant casualties. Seeing that this crazy method worked, many Western Xia cavalry did the same, and they rushed to the shield array and jumped into the shield hand one by one. The steel knife was waved, the blood was dripping, and the wails were endless, and the shield defense line established by the Dingguo army with their lives was finally loosened again.

In the face of the crazy Western Xia people, the soldiers of the Dingguo Army suffered heavy casualties, but Zhao Yougong's face was still cold, as steady as Mount Tai, and suddenly, a loud shout, "The shield hand got up"

At the sound of an order, more than a dozen of the shield bearers who were originally squatting carried a shield and stood up suddenly, and the heavy shield of more than a foot slammed into the war horses of the Western Xia people, and the crazy Dingguo army actually knocked over those fierce war horses. No one could have imagined that the soldiers of the Dingguo Army, who were passively beaten, would make such a crazy move, carrying a shield and hitting a war horse, this is not a madman, but a madman among madmen. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lin Chong led the people to rush up and slaughter the Western Xia cavalry mixed in the hands of the shield. (To be continued......)
