Chapter 139: Victory and Parting
As the leader of this cavalry army and the Western Xia cavalry, there was Zhao Xiaoxi, who had the first head-to-head confrontation. He was very pleased to see that these cavalry officers and men could give full play to what they usually trained.
It is clear that these Western Xia cavalry are very fierce, and they don't want to have too many casualties when they have too many casualties. Looking at the Western Xia Qianqi general who was about to turn his horse's head and escape, Zhao Xiaoxi sneered: "Don't leave if you come!" Suffer death! ”
directly slapped a horse's back, and Zhao Xiaoxi, who rose from the horse, was like a killing god who appeared in the air. Suddenly, the silver spear in his hand turned into a gorgeous spear flower, and the guards around the thousands of horsemen.
Those who barely resisted were picked off the horse. Even a thousand horsemen, when they saw the tip of the spear approaching. used the scimitar to block it, but found that a huge force came from the gun, and the whole person couldn't stand it, and immediately vomited blood and fell under the horse.
Just when the thousand cavalry generals felt that this young man's martial arts were too high, he just fell to the ground and saw his fallen body. As for his head, it seems to be separated from his body at the moment.
With this strange thought, the head of the thousand horsemen who fell into the darkness was already in the room where he landed. was cut off by Zhao Xiaoxi with the blade of a gun and picked on the tip of the gun.
Holding this head that was still dripping blood, Zhao Xiaoxi roared: "The enemy general is dead, why don't you put down your weapons and surrender?" ”
Looking at the kung fu in a blink of an eye, this thousand-horse general, who could not be said to be much in Western Xia, has become a human head and has been picked on the head of a spear. Coupled with Zhao Xiaoxi's murderous roar, many Western Xia cavalry felt it. Could it be a nightmare!
Why did they come with the dream of beheading the enemy, plundering a fortune and slaves, only to suddenly find out? The people of the Song Dynasty who used to be their fish and flesh turned into demons at this moment, and cut down their brothers who usually talked and laughed one by one.
It seems to be at this moment. They can only think of those weak Song people. Looking at the general's head raised by Zhao Xiaoxi, the Western Xia cavalry, who didn't want to die, immediately threw away the weapons in their hands and turned over and dismounted.
As for the Western Xia cavalry who were still stubbornly resisting to the end, they were also killed by groups of border troops, you and I were killed with one shot. After Zhao Xiaoxi killed the enemy general, the war finally ended completely.
Reacted from the previous bloody fight. saw that in addition to the captured Western Xia cavalry at the scene, the people who were also sitting on the war horses were their own brothers. Many of the surviving cavalry officers and soldiers who participated in the battle for the first time immediately could not suppress the ecstasy in their hearts.
He raised the weapon in his hand and said, "We have won the Xixia people, we have won!" Cavalry wins! The general is mighty! ”
This kind of excited roar one after another made the regimental training soldiers who were also staying on the wall feel it. When did the cavalry of Western Xia become incompetent to such a point, not to mention that so many people could not capture their fortress, not to mention that even these border cavalry could not do it?
But no matter what, I heard the cavalry wearing the uniforms of the Song army, shouting the voice of victory. The regimental training army and the people who stayed on the wall. I also rejoiced from my heart.
Although this is only a thousand-person team of Western Xia, how many thousand-person teams of Western Xia have been completely annihilated by the Great Song Dynasty in recent years. How many can be killed so cleanly?
They can all imagine that when this battle reaches Qin Fenglu and the imperial court, they are afraid that they will also celebrate it in a big way. You must know that for these Fanbang cavalry who entered the country to burn and loot as soon as the river was closed in winter, no one in the Song Dynasty soldiers and civilians on the border did not hate their cruelty.
Now suddenly there is an army. can completely annihilate such a thousand-man cavalry team, which was helpless in the eyes of the border army before. Naturally, they were very excited. Naturally, I will feel it. This feng shui takes turns, and this year it may be the turn of the Tangut people to be unlucky!
After the excitement of these soldiers under his command passed, Zhao Xiaoxi shook his hand and put the human head on the gun. It shook into Zhao Da's hand, and at the same time ordered: "Okay, this is just a pre-war appetizer." There's no need to be so excited.
When, when you kill each other's ten thousand horsemen, it's not too late to be so excited. Now start cleaning up the battlefield and send a small team of men to take these cavalry into the stone tile village.
Brothers who killed us in battle. The corpse was gathered and taken away. When they arrived in Lanzhou City, Ben would personally see them off and let the other cavalry brothers know. What is called battlefield ruthlessness! ”
Looking at the border cavalry that was different from the military uniforms of the Western Xia cavalry who died in battle, Zhao Xiaoxi took a cursory look. Not to mention the wounded cavalry officers and soldiers, the number of dead in the battle was close to fifty or sixty.
Although it was a big victory, for Cho Hyo-seok, the price of such a victory was also very large. After all, in today's situation, if these people were mature cavalrymen, he believed that the number of people killed in battle would be greatly reduced.
Calculated or not, plus they are well-equipped and in a good position. In addition, there is also him, a martial arts master, accompanied by master veterans like Zhao Da, it is not unusual to win this battle.
Hearing Zhao Xiaoxi's order to clean up the battlefield, these cavalry soldiers looked at the brothers who had been riding horses with them before. At this moment, it has become a bloody corpse, piled up in the corpses of those Western Xia cavalry.
When they saw this kind of scene, they finally understood that when they set out on the expedition. Why did Cho Hyo-seok say that having the opportunity to go on the expedition was not such a beautiful thing as they imagined.
Only by seeing the corpses of their comrades will they understand the cruelty of war. The joy of the previous victory, as they saw the corpses of these comrades, the cavalry soldiers gradually calmed down.
According to the orders of several cavalry generals, the surviving officers and soldiers of the battle began to be beheaded one after another. The heads of these Western Xia cavalrymen were cut off, and they were planned to be brought back to Lanzhou City tomorrow for the people in the city to see.
This way of beheading people is considered a military merit, although it is a little cruel. But Zhao Xiaoxi just hoped to tell the soldiers and civilians of Lanzhou City in this shocking way that not only the cavalry of Western Xia knew how to behead people.
Compared with the so-called so-called many civil officials in the imperial court, it is different to value harmony and pay attention to benevolence and righteousness. Zhao Xiaoxi followed the iron-blooded rule, that is, the Western Xia people regarded the people of the Song Dynasty as inappropriate. From now on, the people of the Song Dynasty will not treat them as human beings.
Use this way of blood for blood and violence to tell the Tangut people. The next time they dare to attack the Song Dynasty at will, these cavalry who have been cut off are their best example and fate.
When the cavalry entered the stone tile village one after another, this already brightly lit village was also as lively as the usual festival. And in order to let these subordinates who had experienced bloody battles relax, Zhao Xiaoxi also asked his cavalry soldiers to accompany these people to train with the regiment, and have a good time.
It wasn't until after having dinner with the soldiers and civilians in the village that Zhao Xiaoxi interrogated several Western Xia cavalrymen who had surrendered. In the face of the cavalry who had surrendered and refused to explain the situation, he didn't say a word at all, and directly asked Zhao Da to behead him.
In this cold and direct killing, Zhao Xiaoxi also learned about the Western Xia cavalry camp on the other side of the Yellow River through these surrendered Western Xia cavalry. It seems to be in a very empty state!
When he learned that they originally planned to capture Shiwa Village tonight, have a carnival inside, and rush back to the military camp in the Yellow River in the early hours of tomorrow morning. Zhao Xiaoxi suddenly felt that this night's time might be put to good use.
In any case, compared to his secret mobilization of supplies to the front line, Western Xia invaded the Song Dynasty for the sake of a large army this time. Also in the camp on the other side of the Yellow River, a lot of strategic materials were stored.
If you can put this front camp to the end before the war, I believe it will be known to the Western Xia people. In fact, they are not the only ones who know that cross-border warfare, burning, killing and looting.
Interrogated about this situation, Zhao Xiaoxi immediately called up the cavalry officers and soldiers who were originally going to rest. It was decided to set off overnight to the Yellow River to see if he could use the night attack to sneak attack the enemy camp that was not too far away.
Considering that the number of people who crossed the border in the middle of the night was not too large, Cho Hyo-seok finally decided. Leave two teams of 100 people and garrison Shiwa Village just in case. And as soon as it dawns tomorrow morning, they immediately got up and escorted the captives back to Lanzhou City.
Among these captives, naturally there is also Tuoba Yu, who has become depressed and no longer speaks at this moment. There are also the Western Xia cavalry that survived today, and they will also become the first batch of Fanbang cavalry to be captured since the formation of the cavalry.
The rest of the cavalry stationed in Shiwa Village immediately set off for the Yellow River. It was still Zhao Xiaoxi who personally went out and led his cavalry to step on the enemy camp at night, so that the Xixia people could also taste the taste of being chased and killed at night.
Regarding the temporary battle plan made by Zhao Xiaoxi, Zhao Da and others also felt. If the confessions of these captives are true, then tonight should be the emptiest moment of the cavalry camp.
As long as they are cautious, there is still a great hope for them to get rid of this large cavalry battalion built on the other side of the Yellow River. What's more, they also have a Zhao Xiaoxi, who is good at odd combat, which adds a few more chances of success.
The cavalry soldiers who had a full meal in Shiwa Village, except for the two centurians who stayed behind. Tomorrow, we will escort the captives and the captured materials and horses, and cooperate with other cavalry teams that have gone out to search, and send them back to Lanzhou City smoothly. The others packed up their equipment overnight and prepared to leave.
Before leaving, Zhao Xiaoxi specially found Quartz, the commander of the regimental training army, and told him the results of the Shiwazhai regiment training this time. They asked the imperial court and Qin Fenglu officials for merit, and if he wanted to, he could be promoted to the box military camp.
Regarding Zhao Xiaoxi's good deeds of pie in the sky, Quartz unexpectedly refused. As for him, although he really wanted to live in the big city, it would naturally be safer. But what about the villagers and elders in these villages?
In fact, with Zhao Xiaoxi's extra kindness this time, he was already very satisfied with the same equipment as the Xiang Army. He only hoped that the imperial court would be able to train the regiment in the future, and the material treatment that could be obtained would be reissued.
As the commander of the regimental training army, he is already very grateful to the imperial court. will also lead the young people in these villages to do their part to defend the border and these hometown fathers.
As for not being a van army, he didn't really care too much about the officers and soldiers who were training the regiment. If Fanbang doesn't come to invade in the future, this is a homeland that they are familiar with and really depend on for survival! (To be continued......)
