Chapter 150: Wings Can't Escape
The Western Xia siege army, which was called the division of the Shang Tired Army, formed a cavalry army that was compressed and encircled on all sides. Looking at these at this time, without reducing their savage and ferocious wildness, every cavalry officer and soldier knew that such an enemy could not be left behind.
Listening to these Western Xia cavalry in such a surrounded situation, they were still ashamed to look down on them. Gao Mingjun and others, who are thousands of cavalry generals, can imagine the anger in their hearts.
It's just that in the midst of this anger, several thousand cavalry generals know it. It seems that their strength in front of them is less than twice as large as that of the other party. But in this kind of field warfare, the other party really has no intention of fighting and wants to escape, and it is also a very difficult thing to pursue.
Fortunately, Gao Mingjun had previously arranged the soldiers of the Wind Cavalry Battalion to encircle and suppress the remnants of the enemy after the encirclement. In any case, the remnants of the defeated Western Xia cavalry in front of them must be slaughtered under Qingyuan City.
Raising the iron spear in his hand, Gao Mingjun suddenly shouted: "The cavalry is attacking, I am invincible!" ”
This is the self-confident and iron-blooded spirit that Zhao Xiaoxi instilled in every cavalry after forming the cavalry battalion. Every time these slogans were shouted, the officers and men of the cavalry would feel their blood boiling, and their bodies would be filled with infinite strength.
Boosting morale can sometimes be done in a single sentence. Looking at these murderous Western Xia cavalry, Gao Mingjun shouted this slogan at the right time. And with his roar, the entire cavalry soldiers in the encirclement echoed.
The roar like a wave made several Western Xia thousand cavalry generals finally realize that the cavalry surrounding them in front of them was in front of them. I'm afraid that it is not the border cavalry that I dealt with before, and it is very likely that it is an elite cavalry unit secretly formed by the Song Dynasty.
If this is the case, it will be very unfortunate news for the nomads who now have to rely on cavalry to win. During the Han and Tang dynasties, it was able to intimidate the Quartet, wasn't it precisely the strong cavalry of these two dynasties?
If the Song Dynasty also formed an invincible cavalry division, would there still be a way for their nomadic cavalry to survive in the future?
With that in mind. The three thousand cavalry generals of Western Xia, who had the heart of death, quickly said to Amuli, who was not ready to flee back to Western Xia alone: "Brother, wait a minute, don't turn back, run all the way home."
Be sure to pass the news on to the general. It's not difficult, our army is really dangerous. We will never have peace in Western Xia! ”
Seeing the three comrades' instructions so cautiously, Amuli finally said with tears in his eyes: "Don't worry, I will definitely send this news back to the camp and let the general avenge us and others." ”
Just as the four thousand horsemen were making an explanation before parting with life and death, Gao Mingjun nodded to the guard beside him, and this guard immediately tightened the bowstring in his hand. After a tense sound, the ticking arrow on the string immediately flew into the sky at high speed and made a piercing sound.
The sound is the order, and Yang Jinbao, who has been waiting for a long time, took the lead and said: "Brothers." Kill the dog! ”
The four battalions of cavalry, which were originally slowly approaching, immediately accelerated to charge towards the Western Xia cavalry in the encirclement with this sound. Seeing this situation, the three thousand cavalry generals who had already reported their mortal intentions immediately launched a counter-charge towards the Huozi battalion that was attacking from the Western Xia.
Gather all the warriors who can fight, and they will also send Amuli out. If you don't send today's news back to the camp, such a powerful Great Song cavalry. Enough to pose a threat to their army.
Looking at these Western Xia cavalry, they rushed in their own direction. Yang Jinbao was not worried, but said excitedly: "Brothers, let these dogs see the strength of our Fire Word Battalion." The cavalry attacked, I am invincible, kill! ”
Seeing these Western Xia cavalry break through in the direction of the Huozi Battalion, Gao Mingjun, who was directly opposite, immediately commanded the cavalry to speed up and cover the past. If you let these Western Xia cavalry break out. Then they really have no shame to face Zhao Xiaoxi's trust.
The horses of the two armies were getting closer and closer, and the bows and arrows of some of the mounted archers were already raised. As the respective commanders gave the order to 'shoot', waves of arrows rained down on the opposing team's running horses.
Compared with the Huozi battalion, which alone withstood the arrow attacks of these Western Xia cavalry, many cavalry who were hit by arrows fell off their horses, and the cavalry of the Western Xia broke through in the array. It was attacked by the bows and arrows of the cavalry on all sides. There are countless people who have been killed on the ground.
In the process of running this kind of war horse, falling off the horse means certain death. It's just that among the Western Xia cavalry, several thousand cavalry generals. Looking at their cavalry of nearly 2,000 people, they shot a wave of arrows and rained down only a few cavalry on the other side.
Many of the rest of the cavalry, even if they were hit by an arrow, did not fall as they expected. This somewhat surprised them, could it be that this cavalry of the Song Dynasty was invulnerable?
In fact, this is not the case, compared to the Western Xia cavalry, they wore more leather armor, and the cavalry wore close-fitting chain mail. Put on a layer of cotton armor on the outside, as long as the strength is not too strong after the arrow, there is almost no fear of life.
This kind of disparity in equipment naturally leads to the result that both sides hit the same arrow, and one can live and the other will die. Moreover, these Western Xia cavalry would never have imagined that the Song Dynasty would pay such a large price to equip each cavalry with chain mail for self-defense.
After the arrows lost their effect on long-range attacks, the cavalry of Western Xia drew their scimitars on horseback. But the cavalry directly took out the hand crossbow with the arrow, and the action of raising the crossbow made the Western Xia cavalry completely lose their voice.
A wave of crossbow arrows at close range attacked, and the number of Western Xia cavalry in the encirclement suddenly decreased a lot. This kind of near-killing weapon can not be prevented by anyone. But a crossbow in each hand is indeed too extravagant!
The more they fought, the more frightened the Western Xia cavalry finally understood that in terms of equipment allocation, this cavalry of the Song Dynasty was something they had never seen before. This also confirmed their previous suspicion that this cavalry must be an elite cavalry unit secretly formed by the Song Dynasty.
As the two sides finally began to fight in close combat, this kind of hand-to-hand cavalry killing was even more bloody. You slash me, I'll shoot you. From time to time, people screamed, and from time to time, people fell to the ground and died.
In this kind of horse slashing and slashing back and forth, the cavalry of Western Xia finally found that this cavalry of the Song Dynasty. Even if you cut the cotton armor outside, the feeling of not being able to cut the flesh is enough to prove that these Song Dynasty cavalry soldiers also wore a layer of iron armor inside.
Everyone knows that the Song Dynasty is rich, but to such an extent, the Western Xia cavalry has never thought of it. Compared with the maturity of smelting technology in the Song Dynasty, there are few blacksmiths among the nomads.
In their cavalry ranks, most of the cavalrymen who can wear iron armor are cavalry of the rank of officer. As for the ordinary cavalry, most of them were the leather armor that their nomads produced the most.
Looking at the cavalry team that had been crowded into a group and was constantly fighting, there were only two thousand cavalry generals left in the Western Xia cavalry, and they were constantly breaking through to the cavalry of the Song Dynasty.
In the process of this kind of breakthrough, there were constantly Western Xia cavalry who sacrificed their lives to block the attack, and they would protect the cavalry in the middle. Break through the encirclement in front of you and send the hope of revenge for them back to Western Xia.
When there were less than 100 cavalry left, they finally rushed out of the layers of interception, and the thousand cavalry generals who had already been stabbed twice and began to bleed in their stomachs. yelled: "Amuli, go quickly! I'll stay with my brethren and buy time for you! ”
The rest of the Western Xia cavalry also shouted: "General, go quickly!" Don't let your brothers die in vain! ”
Amuli, the only one who is still complete, also knows that he will not hesitate at this time, and said with tears in his eyes: "Brothers, take care! ”
But just as he was about to turn the horse's head, a wave of horses' hooves sounded behind him again. Hearing the sound of so many horses' hooves, the Western Xia cavalry who originally planned to intercept those pursuing were also shocked.
Just as they were expecting this to be their reinforcement, the voice of the knight who rushed to the front made their hearts sink completely. What the other party said was the most authentic Song Dynasty official language, which meant that there were no more than 4,000 cavalry surrounding them.
In the face of this wave of encirclement formed by at least a thousand cavalry, a team of less than a hundred people, how could they rush through. There are blocking soldiers in front, and there are chasing soldiers like tigers and wolves in the back, and it has become a fantasy to send Amuli out.
Knowing that there was no chance to rush out tonight, Amuli looked at the surviving cavalry with a depressed face, but showed a smile and said, "Brothers, I am very happy to be able to fight side by side with you. We can't let these Song dogs underestimate us, even if we die, we will fall on the way to the charge. ”
This scene of laughing at life and death made these already scarred cavalrymen finally under the leadership of two thousand cavalry generals. Rushing towards the Fengzi battalion, which had been waiting for them for a long time, only to wait until the two armies faced each other.
The only one left alive was Amuli, and the rest of the cavalry had already died in the rain of arrows and crossbow arrows just now, even Amuli at the moment. He was also hit by an iron arrow, but the two crossbow arrows were not dead.
Looking at the cavalry of the Song Dynasty surrounded by regiments, Amuli seemed to show a calm expression and said: "I am Amuli, the thousand cavalry general of Western Xia, can I meet your general?" ”
Hearing this Western Xia general, who seemed to be short to live, the cavalry cavalry surrounding him quickly made way and put Wang Zishu, a thousand cavalry generals, into the encirclement.
Seeing that the general of this cavalry team was so young, Amuli looked very surprised and said: "I'm Amuli, do you want to ask the general's name?" At least know at whose hands I died before I die. ”
Facing this Western Xia cavalry general who could speak official language, Wang Zishu said very calmly: "The Great Song Dynasty Cavalry Fengzi Battalion, the generation of thousands of cavalry generals Wang Zishu!" ”
Although the two armies are enemies of life and death, at such a time, Wang Zishu will not bring this kind of national hatred and family hatred. A soldier is a profession of heroes and heroes.
Facing Amuli, the only surviving Amuli, Wang Zishu, who was born in the family of Wuxun, also gave him enough respect. This can also be regarded as admiring this, and Amuli who can live to the end is a little expressed.
What's more, even if these things were told to him, would he still be alive to send the message back in this situation? Respect him when he is alive, and cut off his head as a military merit when he dies! (To be continued......)
