Chapter 153 Yongle Breakthrough
The drums and horns outside Yongle City were contending, and Ye Weima commanded the Western Xia army to rush to Yongle City one after another.
The battle flag on Yongle City is high, Yu Xi and Luda command the Great Song army is fighting desperately, gritting their teeth to support, this is already the twenty-fourth battle on the eighth day, the generals in the city have been killed and wounded more than half, the grain and grass have been exhausted, and the rescuers are still nowhere to be seen.
As it got dark, one of the Western Xia army's offensive was temporarily over, and they were accumulating strength, and tomorrow there would be a more fierce attack and battle.
Ruda led a hundred tiger warriors to patrol the city wall, and when he saw the tired soldiers on the city wall, he felt a kind of helplessness and sadness in his heart, watching the fresh lives disappear in front of his eyes, and watching his strong bodies fall in front of him, this is a shame as a general......
Just as Ruda was standing on the city wall and looking into the distance, he heard a burst of screams and shouts coming from the east direction, Ruda followed the sound, and saw a man alone through the enemy formation, and was killing in the direction of the city gate. ”
Ruda hurried to the city gate, mounted his horse, and shouted to the warriors of the Tiger Clan, "Brothers, follow me out of the city and bring Xuanzan in." ”
As he spoke, he opened the city gate, brandished his broadsword, and rushed out with lightning speed.
At this time, Xuanzan was already in the back of three sharp arrows, a shot in the abdomen, was fighting desperately, Luda hit the horse like flying over, the big knife waved, "click" to kill a Western Xia commander who raised a gun to stab Xuanzan, and then the big knife swept, cut off the heads of the three centurions, and the others were frightened and scattered.
Xuanzan raised his eyes and saw that the person who answered had arrived, and he was planted on the back of a horse and fainted. Ruda took Xuanzan from the back of the lightning horse and took him into his arms and said, "Brothers, go back to the city. ”
After some rescue, Xuanzan slowly opened his eyes. He pointed to his arms and said, "Holy Decree, Holy Decree." He tilted his head and fainted.
Luda hurriedly took out the holy decree from Xuanzan's arms and handed it to Yu Xi. Yu Xi opened the holy decree and looked at it quickly, sat on the chair sadly, and sighed there without saying a word.
Luda grabbed the holy decree and looked at it, and said angrily: "What, let's break through, can this still be highlighted." ”
At this time, Xuanzan woke up after being poured a few mouthfuls of water, and intermittently said that he had returned to Beijing to ask for help: "Fortunately, there is this lightning horse of General Qiu Xiang, otherwise I would not have been able to rush in." The two generals should think of a way! ”
Yu Xi slapped the table and said: "Method, method, what is the way now, prepare to break through." It's all my fault, it's all my fault, it's all my fault, it's all about hurting everyone. ”
Ruda patted him on the shoulder and comforted: "Marshal, don't say that, everyone won't blame you." ”
Yu Xi looked up at Luda, and said with tears in his eyes: "General Lu, what do you say?" ”
Luda said: "If we want to break through, then we will break through immediately tonight." Otherwise, as soon as the morning dawns, the Western Xia army will come to attack the city again. ”
Yu Xi said: "General Lu, I'm in chaos now, or you should arrange the breakout." ”
Ruda did not shirk, because he knew that he had to take on this responsibility at this time. He nodded and said, "Okay!" ”
Luda gathered all the generals together and said, "Brothers, there are no rescuers to send in the court, and we have nothing to rely on, and we have to rely on them at present. We can only rely on ourselves, fight out of the city, and highlight the encirclement is the way to survive. Otherwise, it would be a dead end, so I discussed with Marshal Yu that instead of sitting and waiting to die, it would be better to survive and break through immediately. Do you have any comments? ”
All the generals said in unison: "For the time being, I will live and die with the Lu army." ”
Luda said: "Okay, now I will arrange the tasks of the generals. General Xu Ning leads your pikemen to be the pioneer, with General Watson assisting. Marshal Yu Xi and General Gao Yong led the Chinese army, and I led 2,000 men and horses. ”
Everyone knows that in this breakthrough, the queen of the palace is very important, one is to hold on to the end, and the other is to block the pursuit of the enemy, which is the most dangerous.
Yu Xi stood up and said, "General Lu, it's better for you to lead the team to fight the vanguard, with General Xu Ning's ability, I'm afraid you won't be able to open the passage." I'm coming to the back of the temple. ”
Ruda thought about it and said, "Okay then." ”
Xuanzan struggled to stand up and said, "General Lu, leave me behind with the marshal." ”
Luda shook his head resolutely and said, "No, you are already seriously injured, so you don't want to fight." ”
Xuan praised: "The reason why I asked to stay is because I was seriously injured and didn't want to drag everyone to break through." ”
Luda said: "Xuanzan can risk death again, it's already very remarkable, as a general of the unified army, how can I leave you alone." You'd better follow me to break through. ”
Xuan praised the embarrassment and said: "But I'm afraid I can't even ride a war horse now, how can I break through?" ”
Luda said: "I have my own arrangements for this. ”
At this time, the sky was already overcast, and Ruda looked up at Dakong Dao: "The heavy rain is coming soon, and we just take the opportunity to break through." ”
The group came to the east gate of Yongle City, and everyone rode quietly on their horses, holding weapons and waiting for the last moment.
Luda stepped on his snow lion, he asked Xuanzan to lie on his back, and then tied the two together with ropes, and after doing all this, Luda came to Yu Xi and said, "Marshal, take care." ”
Then he shouted, "Open the door." As soon as the shouts fell into the sky, a few thunderbolts were heard, and then heavy rain poured down.
The city gate slammed open, Luda was in front, Xu Ning and Xiong Dacheng were one on the left and the other on the right. Behind them were three hundred warriors of the Tigers holding high the battle flag.
Ruda shouted: "Brothers, the time has come to fight hard, kill!" ”
More than 50,000 soldiers shouted in unison: "Kill! The tide poured out of the city gate and rushed out of the camp tent of the Western Xia army.
The sound of shouts and thunderstorms mingled into a wave of anger that shook the earth.
Western Xia Marshal Ye Weima never dreamed that the Great Song Army would break through during the thunderstorm, so he hurriedly led the troops to surround him, and the two sides fought together.
Ruda brandished a big knife and shouted as he slashed and slashed: "Brothers, don't fall in love with the battle, hurry up and break through. ”
Cutting melons and vegetables, he led the tiger team to rush to the big tent of the Chinese army in Western Xia, where the Western Xia army blocked Luda, who was like a tiger descending from the mountain.
Luda Pegasus swept past the obstruction of dozens of Western Xia generals, brandished the big knife and went straight to Ye Bima who was standing under the banner of the Chinese army commander, Ye Bima raised the big gun in his hand and stabbed at Luda, Luda waved the big knife, "snapped" a knife and slashed at Ye Bima's neck, Ye Bima threw the big gun in fright, and pounced on the horse, Luda's big knife flashed against the back of Ye Bima's head, and the blade was sweeping on the buttocks of the war horse ridden by Ye Bima, and the horse screamed violently with a "Xi Yoyo" in pain, and ran away without a trace with Ye Bima with four hooves.
Ruda pounced on the flag of the Chinese army and cut down the handsome flag with a big red lantern hanging on it with a "click".
When the Xixia people saw that the handsome flag had fallen, they suddenly became a mess.
Ruda shouted, "Brothers, rush with me. He led the men and horses to tear open a hole and rushed across the other side of the Yuma River, breaking away from the encirclement.
After careful counting, there were only more than 20,000 people left. In the crowd, Marshal Yu Xi was nowhere to be seen.
Luda asked General Gao Yong, who was with Yu Xi, "General Gao, why didn't Marshal Yu rush out." ”
Gao Yong lowered his head sadly and said, "The marshal committed suicide with the sword he carried with him in order not to drag us down. ”
Luda looked at Yongle City in the dark and said, "Marshal Yu, rest in peace, I, Luda, will definitely get this blood debt back for you." ”
Ruda untied the rope and carried Xuanzan to the horse of the lightning horse, and then shouted in the direction of Yongle City, "Rank up and salute the brothers who died in Yongle City!" ”
The soldiers saluted solemnly. At this time, everyone silently shed tears, and some people knelt on the ground and cried bitterly, and it took a long time for everyone to slowly turn around, dragging heavy steps, and walking towards Mizhi City step by step, walking step by step and turning back, taking a step first-class tears. Don't! I have been tragically ravaged by the Western Xia; Say goodbye to my enslaved brothers and sisters, one step at a time, one step at a time, one step at a time. Why are these steps so heavy, and why are there so many tears in these eyes. Comrades-in-arms! Believe it, believe it! One day, we will return to this blood-soaked land with a prancing horse and a sword......
Luda led more than 20,000 soldiers who had retreated from Yongle City, and rested in the retreating Mizhi City.
The marshal of Western Xia, Ye Weima, led the troops to chase to the foot of Mizhi City, but the continuous rainy days made the Western Xia army miserable, and the grain and grass were unsustainable, so he had to lead the troops back to Western Xia.
The area of rice fat has calmed down for the time being.
Ruda led the team to rest in Mizhi City for fifteen days, training soldiers and horses while waiting for orders from the court.
On this day, just after breakfast, I heard a loud cry outside the tent: "The decree has arrived." Ruda hurriedly got up and went out. I saw a messenger on horseback sitting on a horse and shouting, "Ruda has taken the order." ”
When Ruda heard this, the messenger didn't even call the general, and thought that he was going to be unlucky. Then he knelt down on the ground and said, "Ruda takes the order." ”
The holy decree opened on the back of the messenger's horse read: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor Zhao said, today there is a Huwei general Luda, the command error, and the battle cowering, resulting in Yongle City falling into the hands of the Western Xia people, the commander Yu Xi died in the front enemy. Therefore, Ruda should be severely investigated. Lonely thinking of his Genyue ring to defeat the strength of the Liao State, save the national prestige of the Song Dynasty, coupled with this long journey, gallop to the aid of labor, to be lenient, cut the name of the Tiger General, degraded to Weizhou as a soldier and horse, and immediately set off to Weizhou to take office. Chin this. (To be continued.) )
