Chapter 132: Murong Fu's Raid
Known as a mobile fortress, the hoplites were wrapped in thick armor. Even the mounts are heavily armoured, with only the horse's calves exposed, and when they appear on the battlefield, their deterrent power is self-evident.
The heavy cavalry formed by the Liao army in front of him even had an eyeshield to prevent bow and arrow design outside the horse's eye. You know, the money to equip a hoplite cavalry can fully equip a small squad of light infantry.
Such a heavy cavalry, Da Liao actually sent 5,000 people for this battle. In the eyes of many people, with this heavy cavalry to attack, the cavalry and infantry of the Song army are afraid that they will be unable to resist.
In the face of this kind of bows, arrows, swords, swords, and halberds, which seemed to have lost their effect, the officers and men of the two armies were undoubtedly a little afraid. But with the appearance of Zhao Xiaoxi's ghost cavalry, the statement that the heavy cavalry was invincible seemed to have been completely broken.
As a killer arm to break through the defense, the commanders of the Liao army did not expect that this ghost cavalry, which only has 1,000 people, would play with this heavy cavalry built with a lot of money like a joke. This was a surprise to everyone!
Zhao Xiaoxi, who led the troops to wander outside the heavy cavalry and created chaos, knew this kind of heavy cavalry very well. It was the European cavalry that really used it to the top. The current heavy cavalry of the Liao army can only be regarded as a semi-finished product.
Except that all of them were dressed in armor and wrapped in iron bumps, there was actually nothing to be desired. Charge with such heavy cavalry, but a good option. But the problem is that when you meet the rangers who are good at riding and shooting, they are live targets.
Compared with the hoplite cavalry of the Liao army, the weapon was relatively simple, with only one iron spear, which was also heavy and long. Zhao Xiaoxi's heavy cavalry to the Tuzi battalion was equipped with shields and bows in addition to riding spears.
At present, the formation of the heavy cavalry of the Liao army was disrupted, and it was inflicted heavy losses. Zhi Zhigang leads. For the first time, the heavy cavalry of the base camp rushed towards the heavy cavalry of the Liao army.
Unlike the heavy cavalry of the Liao army, in addition to holding a spear, Zhi Zhigang and the others also had a hard shield in front of them. In this way, even if the spears of the heavy cavalry of the Liao army were close to each other, it could ensure that they would not be killed by a single blow.
When the hoplites of both armies. After a hard hit. The cavalry that followed behind them took cover again. The ghost cavalry led by Zhao Xiaoxi began to attack the Liao cavalry, and the defense line that was finally cleaned up.
Looking at the Great Song Dynasty ghost cavalry as if they had entered a no-man's land, Yelu Liangcai also knew that they were afraid that they would lose this battle. Whether it was the ghost cavalry or this hoplite cavalry, they had not expected it in advance.
Just when everyone thought that the Song army would win this battle. Zhao Xu's Chinese army camp. But suddenly it became chaotic. The Jurchen cavalry, which had been used as a reserve guard, suddenly attacked.
Zhao Xiaoxi, who was commanding the cavalry on the battlefield, heard that the rear camp of the Song army was in turmoil, and immediately said: "Ghost cavalry, go back to the camp!" ”
A thunderous roar sounded, and the ghost cavalry, which was winning one after another, immediately turned around and rushed out of the Liao cavalry formation. And at this moment, Yelu Liangcai seems to realize that the opportunity is rare. Immediately said: "Entangle them, don't let them come back!" ”
One wants to leave. One didn't want to leave. The battle was once there, and it was entangled again. Tens of thousands of cavalry are mixed together, even if Zhao Xiaoxi's martial arts are strong, it is not a simple matter to break through the desperate resistance of the Liao army.
At this moment, the camp where the Song army was. From time to time, there were explosions, and intermittent musket fires. This situation made Zhao Xiaoxi immediately realize that the Song army was in trouble.
And this trouble should be directed at Zhao Xu, the emperor. If something happens to the emperor at this time. Then the previous victories of the Song army will be in vain. The emperor died in battle, and the consequences were very serious.
Zhao Xiaoxi, who was anxious, really turned into a demon from hell, and the silver spear in his hand was like a swimming dragon, killing all the people in front of him. But even so, it is still not easy to break through many obstacles
When the cavalry army that participated in the melee and the ghost cavalry army all rushed to respond. An angry roar once again shocked Zhao Xiaoxi's heart. This voice was too familiar to him, it was Qiao Feng's voice that he placed in the rear of the army and acted as a backup.
'Murong dog thief, hide your head and show your tail, what kind of hero are you!' ’
Murong Dog Thief, as soon as he heard Qiao Feng's name, Zhao Xiaoxi immediately understood. The place where he had always felt that the situation was wrong was there, it turned out to be the kind of 1,000 elite cavalry sent by the Jurchen tribe.
Out of prudence, he kept telling the cavalry generals to be more wary of them. Even the artillery corps and musket corps sent to support were restricted, and any Jurchen cavalry could watch closely.
Now that he suddenly heard this name, Zhao Xiaoxi finally knew that Murong Fu could not be found in Buyi Pavilion. hid in the Jurchen tribe, and lurked in the camp of the Song army, waiting to launch this fatal blow.
With Qiao Feng killed, Zhao Xiaoxi, who was covered in blood, immediately said: "The people of the Jurchen clan heard that this king is the king of Qiongzhou in the Great Song Dynasty. If you dare to rebel, this king swears that in his lifetime, he will slaughter your Jurchen tribe. ”
looked at Zhao Xiaoxi, who was riding on a bloody horse, and shouted such words. The cavalry of the Liao army, who were desperately blocking, looked a little stunned. And when they were stunned, Zhao Xiaoxi abandoned the war horse under his crotch and jumped up directly.
Stepping on the heads of these Liao cavalry who rushed to stop them, they kept shooting towards the Song army camp. In the face of Zhao Xiaoxi's abandonment of his horse and the use of light skills, these Liao cavalry felt that they did not know how to resist.
When Zhao Xiaoxi came to the edge of the war, he picked up a Liao cavalry with a shot, pulled up his horse, and killed the Song army camp. Before leaving, he said: "Zhao Da, you will temporarily take over the command of the commander and lead the ghost cavalry army into the Liao army camp." ”
Throwing down such an order, the ghost cavalry army that wanted to follow out immediately turned around and killed the Liao army that was blocking them. And at this time, they seemed to realize something, and the means were undoubtedly more ferocious.
went straight to Zhao Xiaoxi in the infantry camp, and looked at the Song army infantry who were a little hesitant and the camp was unstable. Immediately said: "I am Zhao Xiaoxi, the king of Qiongzhou, from now on, strictly guard the camp and kill the Liao army in front of me." There is this king watching from behind! ”
Zhao Xiaoxi, who said such a sentence, looked at the battle that was still going on in the camp of the Song army. Abandon the horses again, step on the shoulders of the Song soldiers, and keep shooting towards the depths of the camp.
Looking at the place where Zhao Xu was, there were already dead bodies everywhere. And Qiao Feng is pestering a middle-aged man for a big battle at the moment. As for the scene, there were still many Praetorian Guards, desperately trying to stop those equally ferocious Jurchen cavalry.
Zhao Xiaoxi, who arrived at the scene, rushed down and directly shot away the two Jurchen cavalrymen. yelled: "The emperor is there!" ”
Looking at Zhao Xiaoxi, who appeared on the battlefield, these guards around the emperor also felt that they had found a support and said: "Lord, the emperor is now guarded by General Zhao, but he has been slapped by the thief before, and his subordinates are incompetent and have failed to protect the emperor." ”
Hearing Zhao Xu's slap, Zhao Xiaoxi also felt that Zhao Xu's physical condition. received a slap from Murong Fu, but I am afraid that it will be more than lucky. And at this moment, he could also see that many young real cavalrymen were besieging the place where the artillery team gave the musket team was.
shouted directly: "I want to atone for my sins and kill all these Jurchens!" ”
Leaving such a sentence, Zhao Xiaoxi stepped forward quickly again and entered the Jurchen cavalry camp of those attacking artillery teams. As for Qiao Feng, Zhao Xiaoxi believes that with Qiao Feng's skills, he should not be afraid of Murong Fu.
Seeing Zhao Xiaoxi appear, these artillerymen who were born in Wuwei were also very excited and said: "The prince is here!" Kill! ”
The Jurchen cavalry, which was already in a bitter battle, faced the appearance of Zhao Xiaoxi, a top master, and the counterattack of these artillery guards. Immediately fell into a state of siege, and it didn't take long for this group of people to die cleanly.
Zhao Xiaoxi, who killed the last Jurchen cavalryman, already knew that this was not a Jurchen cavalry at all, but a group of iron-blooded dead soldiers. It seems that for today, Murong Fu has really been preparing for a long time.
He solved Murong Fu's dead soldier on Zhao Xiaoxi's side, but when he saw Zhao Eighteen who was dying, he hugged Zhao Xu, who also didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and said in a hoarse voice: "Lord, Eighteen has failed the trust of the prince and injured the emperor!" ”
Looking at Zhao Eighteen, who had several arrows and countless knife wounds in his body, Zhao Xiaoxi squatted down directly and said, "Eighteen, don't talk!" The prince knows that you have done your best. came, immediately called the medical officer to treat the emperor and General Zhao! ”
At the same time, the battle between Qiao Feng and Murong Fu was still ongoing. Murong Fu, who understood that Zhao Xiaoxi had arrived and the general trend had gone, fought to accept Qiao Feng's palm and said: "With a palm today, Murong will return it tenfold every day!" ”
Murong Fu, who quickly retreated, rushed directly into the cavalry battlefield that was still in the melee. By the time Qiao Feng led people to chase and kill, and defeated the Liao cavalry, Murong Fu's figure had already disappeared into the battlefield.
And at this moment, Zhao Xiaoxi, who was chasing and killing Murong Fu, could only watch. Zhao Shibai didn't wait for the medical officer to arrive, he swallowed his last breath and fell into his arms with a look of guilt.
At the same time, Zhao Xiaoxi, who knew some Huang Qi techniques, had already noticed that Zhao Xu's situation was very bad. The palm on his chest, although he was protected by armor, still hit Zhao Xu's internal organs hard.
Feeling Zhao Xu's pulse, it began to weaken continuously, and Zhao Xiaoxi directly slowly injected the internal force into Zhao Xu's body. At this time, Zhao Xu can't die no matter what!
When the medical officer arrived, he looked at Zhao Xiaoxi, who was infusing Zhao Xu with internal strength to continue his life. I also feel that the emperor's situation is only not good. But he didn't dare to disturb, Zhao Xiaoxi's rescue at this moment.
With Zhao Xiaoxi's internal force entering the body, Zhao Xu finally slowly opened his eyes. Looking at Song Jun standing in front of him, as well as the slightly hot hands on his back, he knew who the person behind him was.
As if aware of his situation, Zhao Xu didn't talk to Zhao Xiaoxi, but ordered the guards who knelt in front of him, Zhang Dian and Zhang Tingguang. and a few close ministers who accompanied him, all of them were called here to listen to the order! (To be continued......)
