Chapter 408: Approaching the edge of the trench
Under the city where the army arrived, the suspension bridge of Xingqingfu had been raised.
The Western Xia soldiers and horses in the city were like facing a great enemy, and many stone-throwing carts were placed on the city wall. Although the range of the catapult is generally not far, it can increase the range by a lot if it is condescending.
Chao Yong took a few people to the nearest place to see the reality of Xingqing Mansion.
Sun Li looked at the moat under the city, shook his head and said: "It seems that the moat is more than ten zhang wide, but I didn't expect the Xixia people to build it so steeply." ”
Liu Qi said: "If you want to fill the moat, I'm afraid it will take a day." ”
Chao Yong smiled: "I have already asked about the situation of Xingqing Mansion, this matter is easy, find a small boat close to the city wall to blow up the city wall, and then use the big boat across the moat as a pontoon bridge." ”
When everyone heard this, their eyes couldn't help but light up.
Han Shizhong doubted: "Can the big ship enter the moat?" ”
Chao Yong nodded and said, "Just open the flood gate between the Tanglai Canal and the moat." ”
While everyone was checking where the city was bombed from, there was a sudden dust in the east, and some dull voices came.
Liu Qi said: "There are cavalry attacking. ”
"Back to the battle, this defender of the city is not stupid."
Chao Yong turned his horse and walked back.
If the Xixia people dare to open the south gate, Chao Yong will not hesitate to lead the troops to raid the south gate and storm it.
With the strong penetrating force of the god's arm crossbow, as long as the city gate is opened, no matter how many people are blocked inside, it is a god blocking and killing the god, and the Buddha blocking and killing the Buddha.
It's a pity that the Western Xia people came from the east and didn't give Da Liang a chance to grab the door at all.
As soon as Chao Yong and the others returned to the front of the formation, the Western Xia cavalry roared over.
Xiao Heda took the lead, and seeing that the formation of the big beam was not very tight, he immediately shouted to the deputy general on the side: "You take five hundred cavalry to attack the flank of the enemy's formation, the interval is larger, be careful of firearms." ”
"Yes"
The adjutant general was not afraid. He immediately led his cavalry to charge towards the Great Liang Army formation.
Chao Yong looked at the sparse Western Xia cavalry and said with a smile: "It seems that they are preventing us from using fire and thunder, so let's let them see the Divine Arm Crossbow." Turn right all over. ”
At the sound of the order, all the soldiers turned to the right in order to face the oncoming cavalry.
Chao Yong also beat his horse and walked to the front of the formation.
Although the cavalry charged, there was a bit of a tendency to shake the mountain, but when the Liang soldiers saw the prince who was not moving like a mountain in front of the battle, they were immediately full of confidence and did not have a trace of panic.
Chao Yong was staring closely at the enemy general who was the first to charge. Three hundred steps, two hundred steps, one hundred steps.
"Shoot"
A black light flashed, and the enemy general's iron armor was pierced, and there was a bloody hole in his chest.
"Ahh
The soldiers in the back saw an iron arrow shot out of the back of their general, leaving a bloody hole, and were about to dodge. The iron arrow had already arrived, and although it consumed a lot of kinetic energy to shoot through the iron armor, the huge impact still knocked the cavalry behind off their horses.
At the same time, the divine arm crossbows in the hands of the first row of soldiers also came out of the strings, and the sharp arrows instantly became life-killing artifacts.
One by one, the knights were shot off their horses, and at a distance of a hundred paces, the divine arm crossbow was enough to penetrate the iron armor. Leaving a bloody hole.
When the horse is shot, a bloody hole will immediately appear, and it will fall to the ground screaming. During the gallop, the horse fell, and most of the knights on the horse were thrown out, breaking bones and tendons. There are not a few who break their necks.
A few who fell down with the war horse were crushed under the horse, and before they could struggle away, they were trampled by the war horse behind them and died.
A distance of 100 paces becomes a moat. No creature can enter a hundred paces in front of the Great Beam Terracotta.
The Liang soldiers fired in rows, knocking all the creatures that rushed to the front of the formation to the ground.
Just for a moment. Five hundred horsemen fell in a pool of blood.
Xiao Heda had also come to the nearest place with the army, and he couldn't help but be shocked when he saw that the soldiers and horses of the Great Liang were all equipped with divine arm crossbows.
The Divine Arm Crossbow with a range of more than 300 steps has always been the nemesis of Western Xia, and the last thing that either the Iron Harrier or the Bubazi want to face is the Divine Arm Crossbow. Once they touched the Divine Arm Crossbow, the Western Xia soldiers and horses could only fill it with human lives. Fortunately, there have not been many divine arm crossbows in the Western Army, and Xiao Heda did not expect that these 5,000 soldiers and horses were equipped with so many god arm crossbows.
From afar, it looks like everyone has a god arm crossbow.
With such a lineup, once the formation is set up and the cavalry shoots in turns, the cavalry will not be able to rush over at all.
Xiao Heda also knew that it was laborious to wind the Divine Arm Crossbow, and ordinary soldiers estimated that they would not be able to pull the Divine Arm Crossbow a few times, but he only took 5,000 soldiers and horses out of the city, and even if the 5,000 soldiers and horses were consumed, they could not exhaust the strength of the Liang soldiers.
If he is given 50,000 soldiers and horses, he will definitely charge regardless of casualties, as long as the strength of the Liang soldiers is exhausted, so that they can't pull the crossbow, then the Liang soldiers will become lambs to be slaughtered. But there were only more than 10,000 soldiers and horses left in the city, and he couldn't use this strategy.
Xiao Heda stopped the charge of the army, set up a position, and shouted: "Who dares to fight? ”
A general next to him ignored Xiao Heda, beat his horse out of battle, and shouted: "But there is a man who dares to come and send him to death?" ”
Sun Li, Zhang Qing, Han Shizhong, and Liu Qi, four people with war horses, shouted almost at the same time: "The last general is invited to fight." ”
Chao Yong looked at the four of them and said with a smile: "The four of you take turns to fight, General Sun is the first, Zhang Qing is the second, Han Shizhong is the third, and Liu Qi is the fourth." Regardless of victory or defeat, after a while, you will be replaced. ”
"Order"
Sun Li jumped out of the battle and fought with the generals.
However, after more than a dozen times, Sun Li shouted, and then jumped off the horse with one shot, grabbed the war horse, and turned the horse back to the battle.
Zhang Qing saw Sun Li returning to the battle, so he also hit his horse and shouted: "Zhang Qing is here, who will die?" ”
As soon as the words fell, a general was already shouting to beat the horse to get Zhang Qing.
"Watch the fight"
The two horses were still a few feet apart, Zhang Qing raised his right hand, and a flying stone came out of his hand, and his nose was concave in the middle.
Fan Jiang couldn't bear the pain, turned over and fell off the horse.
Zhang Qing rushed forward, stabbed him in the neck, grabbed the war horse and went back to the battle.
Xiao Heda is proud of the party's martial arts, and Liang Guolai's soldiers and horses are only thousands, so I don't believe how many generals there can be. Seeing that he had folded two generals in a row, but Da Liang was changing generals and replacing them with another person, he couldn't help but say angrily: "Who is going to kill Han'er?" ”
The party generals were also angry, and Li Qianshun and the Chage army were defeated, so to speak, under firearms. If the Wuyong people think that they are much stronger than the Han people, otherwise the Western Xia would not be able to build a country, let alone plunder the Song Dynasty for a long time. Now it is a shame to be driven straight into the capital by the soldiers and horses of the Liang State. But they can't accept another defeat.
The two generals rushed out almost at the same time.
Han Shizhong didn't panic when he saw it, he hit the horse and greeted him, and said with a smile: "It's a good time." ”
The two generals didn't want to be embarrassed in front of their own capital, so they screamed twice, and one of the generals restrained the horse.
Han Shizhong originally wanted to behead two levels, but when he saw that only one person came up, he couldn't help but be angry, and the tiger head gun in his hand was even more ruthless, but Wuhe. Then he picked the general off the horse. It's a pity to look at the general not far away, and grab the horse back to the battle.
The general, who was lucky enough to live for a while, saw Han Shizhong shaking his head regretfully, and couldn't help but be furious, and came to chase Han Shizhong with a horse.
Han Shizhong heard that the generals were chasing after him, and he couldn't help but think about whether to come back to the carbine.
Liu Qi has already fought out of the battle. The bow opened the full moon and shouted, "Look at the arrows." ”
As soon as the words fell, a sharp arrow came out of the string, right in the throat.
Yao Pingzhong had already ridden the war horse that Sun Li had snatched back, and when he saw that Liu Qi had also made meritorious contributions, he hit his horse and shouted, "Yao Pingzhong is here." Who will die. ”
There was no need for Xiao Heda to speak, and there were party generals rushing out of the battle.
After more than a dozen battles, Yao Pingzhong sold a flaw and dodged the general's steel gun. With a single sword, he cut off the head of Fansho.
Li Kui saw Yao Pingzhong's achievements, and he didn't care about it, and ran out of the battle with his feet out.
It was too late for Chao Yong to stop him, so he had to watch Li Kui go into battle.
Xiao Heda looked at Li Kuisheng's ugliness. couldn't help shouting: "Han'er deceived people too much, and the stupid man in the village also came out to fight." No one cares about deceiving me, Western Xia. ”
Behind him, the Western Xia generals were also angry and shouted, and many generals looked at each other, and they didn't want to fight Li Kui on foot.
Xiao Heda had no choice but to point to a personal soldier to fight.
"I'm angry."
Li Kui is not stupid, the generals who just went to battle were all generals in iron armor, but when it was his turn, a person in leather armor came out, obviously a soldier.
Chao Yong and the others couldn't help laughing when they saw it in front of the battle.
Xiao Heda's own soldiers didn't take Li Kui seriously, and the horse crashed into Li Kui.
With the speed of the war horse, once it hits the ground, it can take Li Kui's life, so why shoot.
Seeing that the war horse was about to crash into Li Kui, Li Kui suddenly took a step sideways and flashed to the side.
The immediate soldiers saw Li Kui dodge, and the steel knife in his hand immediately slashed at Li Kui, who had an unstable foothold.
"Bell"
"Die"
Li Kui roared violently, slashed the steel knife with one axe, and swung the other axe towards the horse's belly.
"Ahh
"Plop"
The horse's belly was immediately opened, and one of the horsemen's legs was also cut off, and under the severe pain, he could no longer control his balance and fell off his horse.
The horse was still running forward, but the internal organs kept spilling out of the mouth of the horse's belly, and after not running a few steps, it also neighed and fell to the ground.
"Underestimate grandpa, and let you underestimate grandpa."
Li Kui turned around and walked up to the knight who had fallen off his horse, and the axes moved up and down, and in the blink of an eye, a living person was cut into several pieces.
When the Xixia people saw Li Kui's murderous appearance, they were also taken aback, and for a while, no one came out of the battle.
Li Kui was cutting well, and he heard the sound of horses' hooves coming from his own battle, and when he looked up to see that it was Ou Peng out of the battle, he couldn't help shouting: "You go back first, the one I killed is not a general." ”
Moyun Golden-winged Ou Peng said with a smile: "The prince said that everyone will fight for a while, but this time it is my turn, everyone is still waiting behind." ”
When Li Kui heard this, he slashed two axes with hatred, and said, "It's really unlucky, so I'll kill a small soldier." ”
Everyone in Western Xia was relieved when they saw Li Kui returning to the battle, not to mention how martial arts were, but this ferocity was terrifying.
Ou Peng saw that no one came out of the battle, so he had to shout: "Ou Peng is here, who will die?" ”
The people of Western Xia have only heard of the names of the generals of the Western Army, but the names of the people in Liangshan have not heard of them, and they are naturally fearless.
Ou Peng's infantry used a big hob, and immediately made it also an iron gun.
If you can't fight Wuhe, you will pick the general off the horse with one shot.
