Chapter 025: Bloody and Fearless

When Nahetu led the remnants of a few hundred remnants and fled back to the gorge pass, he encountered a team of men and horses on the way

Under the torch that shines like daylight, more than 1,000 soldiers of the Song army lined up in a line.

In the center, a tall horseback sits a general, and his old face looms in the light of the fire.

Nahetu was blocked in a hurry, and then pointed at the veteran in front of him with a long knife, and asked in immature Chinese: "Song General ahead, report your name"

"Old man Li Xianzhong, I've been waiting for the general for a long time" The old man put on his helmet and armor with a calm demeanor, holding the Qinglong knife in his right hand and looking at Nahetu calmly.

"Li Qianjin, it turned out to be you"

When Nahetu heard Li Xianzhong's three words, he was immediately shocked. Then he took a look at it by the light of the fire, and sure enough, it was Li Xianzhong, the Song general who had been giving him a headache

Li Xianzhong said coldly: "The general still remembers the old man, it's really rare."

"Do you know that General Ben is going to secretly cross the gorge pass tonight?"

"Does it matter?"

"You ......"

"General, the old man advises you to dismount and surrender, otherwise you will ......"

"Shut up"

Nahetu was speechless, and then urged his already injured war horse, and after taking a few steps forward, he reined in the war horse, and said awe-inspiring with a long knife: "Then it depends on whether you have this ability."

"Stubborn, this gorge pass is where you are buried"

Li Xianzhong saw that Nahetu was determined to fight to the death, so he didn't bother to fight with Nahetu, and immediately ordered the archers to shoot and kill the Jin soldiers.

In many novels, most of them are for the generals to fight hard for a few rounds, and then the two armies will fight, which is obviously an extremely nonsense and speechless battle.

In order to highlight the skills of the fierce general, and ignore the rapidly changing situation of the battlefield.

Soldiers, treacherous ways

If it is because the two generals are fighting alone, and they can solve a battle, then what else does the imperial court have to do with the army, and directly select a group of invincible martial arts masters to sweep the world.

Therefore, in the face of this kind of war situation, the veteran Li Xianzhong is obviously a serious and experienced person, and naturally he will not be so stupid that he will not be able to ignore the battle situation, and go to fight alone with Nahetu

Nahetu led 700 Jin soldiers under his command to break through the defense line, but two rounds of arrows rained down again and again killed and wounded.

At this time, the Jin soldiers had already rushed to the front, and Li Xianzhong immediately asked the archers to retreat one after another, and the eight hundred infantry Song soldiers in the rear rushed up.

"Kill me"

The green dragon knife in Li Xianzhong's palm shook impressively, and the cold light of the forest was revealed by the flickering firelight, and then he rushed into the golden soldiers in front of him.

Nahetu saw that Li Xianzhong had already urged the horse to kill him, so he also raised his knife and urged the horse to meet him.

Judging from Nahetu's visual inspection, Li Xianzhong's infantry was only more than 1,000 people, and the disparity between their forces was not large. So for Nahetu, it is not difficult to break through this line of defense.

But the most terrible thing is that the commander of this Song army is Li Xianzhong.

Li Xianzhong, nicknamed Li Qianjin, has the courage of ten thousand people, which is also a well-known thing in Jinguo. Therefore, he Nahetu fought against Li Xianzhong today, and he was very unconfident in his heart.

The gorge pass, a place where the mountains and rivers are not famous, has had two outstanding allusions before.

In ancient times, there was an allusion to the opening of the waterway here by Dayu to control the water, and then it was one of the battlefields of the battle of the water, and became the place where the soldiers of later generations must fight for the name of the annals of history.

Now in this small gorge pass, the two camps of Song and Jin are fighting here.

Although 300 Song crossbowmen who came from Kip Stone Mountain later joined the battle, the scale of this battle was no more than 2,000 people.

Li Xianzhong and Nahetu are both generals who can lead tens of thousands of troops, but now they have fought a battle of no more than 2,000 people in this narrow gorge pass. This extremely irrational and real war left an extremely dramatic scene in the annals of history that followed.

The war was brutal, the soldiers on both sides of the Song and Jin sides were killed and wounded, and in the end, the Song army exterminated all the 700 panicked Jin soldiers at the cost of sacrificing 600 people.

And Li Xianzhong also fought with Nahetu several times, and cut Nahetu under the horse

Although he is old, he is still brave and invincible

The sky gradually brightened, and Li Xianzhong looked at the hundreds of dead Song army soldiers, but he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

Among them, there is the memory of the dead soldiers, and more importantly, the strength of the Jin soldiers and the weakness of the Song army, this stark contrast makes him, a veteran, very uncomfortable.

In fact, during the entire battle, the army led by Li Xianzhong was nothing more than 1,500 personal guards of his Li family.

And on Kip Stone Mountain, the grand situation of the army seen by Nahetu is just an illusion made by Li Xianzhong. All the torches were tied to the small branches, and thousands of torches kept swaying with the wind blowing through the valley, as if countless Song soldiers were holding torches high.

In fact, there were only more than 300 archers of the Song army on the two sides of the mountain, and at the same time, according to Li Xianzhong's orders, they shouted loudly to confuse the public, and deliberately made a huge momentum, causing Nahetu and other Jin soldiers to flee in a hurry.

The sudden appearance of the Song army itself had already made Nahetu feel unexpected, and coupled with such a loud shout, it was bound to make the Jin general lose his bearings.

In fact, this is just Li Xianzhong's adoption and imitation of ancient tactics, and it is not something created alone.

At that time, Fu Jian led an army of 800,000 to lead the troops to attack Jin, claiming that his army could throw whips and cut off the stream, but in the case of rumors and soldiers, the battle of Weishui made him completely defeated.

80,000 troops retreated from 800,000, which is a famous example on the Chinese battlefield

Li Xianzhong originally thought that he would lead more than 1,000 soldiers to intercept Nahetu, and he could exterminate this group of remnants without much effort.

Because Li Xianzhong, who has been fighting with the Jin State for many years, knows in his heart that the combat power of the Jin State army is so strong because of the mobility of the cavalry.

And this time, in order to quickly cross the gorge pass, Nahetu did not have a large number of extradition of horses at all, which made the advantage of the Jin cavalry a disadvantage.

However, under the condition that the Jin soldiers were at a disadvantage, the joint encirclement and suppression of more than 1,000 people still caused great losses on their own side, which made Li Xianzhong somewhat unacceptable

What does this mean?

It shows that the Song people often took the Hu people's ability to cavalry as an innate advantage to find a reasonable reason for their own defeat, which shows that these are just a kind of excuses for their inability to fight

Now it shows that the infantry combat power of the Jin soldiers is also superior to that of the Song soldiers

At this moment, for some reason, Li Xianzhong suddenly thought of a person, that is, Ye Yu and Ye Chengtian, who are now enjoying themselves in the capital.

Since the rebellion of King Gong and Zhao Han, Li Xianzhong and Ye Yu have been together for a while, and he has discussed with Ye Yu about the combat power of Song and Jin.

At that time, Ye Yu said a word, but Li Xianzhong suddenly felt a few people at this moment

"Bloody and incombustible, after all, it is a humanoid puppet; Fear does not disappear, after all, it is a cartilaginous dwarf"

At that time, he listened to it extremely harshly, but now Li Xianzhong smiled and said to himself: "Old man is really an old man, it seems that what Ye Xiaozi said is right......

After letting out a sigh, he put away the Qinglong Knife, leaving a team of people to clean up the battlefield and bury the dead soldiers on both sides.

And he led the army to Haozhou, because at this moment, the Huai River north of Haozhou has become the main battlefield of the Song and Jin duels

Due to the continuous start of the battle, in order to better command the Huaihe Campaign, the command office was directly moved from Luzhou to the forward position.

In Haozhou City, Yu Yunwen was anxiously waiting for news, and in the face of many attacks by Jin soldiers before, he Yu Yunwen was calm and did not have the slightest worry.

But today he became a little hesitant, as if something was hanging in the balance.

"Report to the marshal, General Li is back"

"Oh? Hurry up and please."

Just when Yu Yunwen was anxious, the news of Li Xianzhong's return to the city made him happy

A short time later, Li Xianzhong walked in with a head wrapped in coarse cloth. Yu Yunwen took a few steps to greet him and asked eagerly, "Is it true?" ”

"True"

"That"

When Yu Yunwen heard the word true, his tense expression suddenly eased a lot. Then he lowered his eyes and looked at the bloody cloth bag in Li Xianzhong's hand.

Li Xianzhong put the bloody cloth bag in front of the defense table, and then bowed down and said: "Yu Shuai, this is the level of the vanguard general of the Jin Kingdom, please take a look at it."

Hearing this, Yu Yunwen said with a smile on his face: "It seems that he didn't lie to the old man"

Li Xianzhong saw Yu Yunwen talking to himself, so he wondered: "Yu Shuai, there will be something unclear in the end......

"The general wants to ask, where did Yu's news come from?" Yu Yunwen waved his hand, already guessing what Li Xianzhong asked.

"Could it be that Yu Shuai planted his eyes and ears in the golden **?"

This is what Li Xianzhong is most puzzled about, because just yesterday afternoon, Yu Yunwen summoned him to the barracks, saying that there would be Jin soldiers secretly crossing the Huai River from the gorge pass at night.

At that time, he had a lot of doubts, because everyone knew that the gorge pass was turbulent and not suitable for large-scale crossing, let alone a quiet crossing.

But listening to what Yu Yunwen said didn't seem to be a lie, and the commander of the three armies couldn't joke lightly, besides, Yu Yunwen even knew when the enemy was secretly crossing and how many people there were, so Li Xianzhong felt that Yu Yunwen must have gotten some news.

But this was only a speculation, and in order to prevent it from happening, he personally led 700 soldiers to the lower mountain pass to set up an ambush.

This was due to the current lack of troops, so only 700 men were brought with them. At the same time, Li Xianzhong's move is also a conceit of his own strength.

And the root cause of Yu Yunwen's constant worry, in addition to his worries about Li Xianzhong, is also worried about the authenticity of this news.

Now that Li Xianzhong has returned triumphantly and has won the rank of the enemy's vanguard commander, Yu Yunwen also felt that there was nothing to hide, so he simply informed Li Xianzhong of the source of the news.

Because there is a more important news, he needs to carefully consult with Li Xianzhong.
