Chapter 316: The Battle of Juyanhai

Heihe, called weak water on the "Water Injection Sutra", called Heluo River in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and called Heihe River after the Western Xia occupied Hexi.

The Heihe River originates at the northern foot of the Qilian Mountains, with a total length of nearly 2,000 li, and is the largest river in the middle of the Hexi Corridor.

At this time, the east and west lived in Yanhai, with a total water area of 5,000 square kilometers, exceeding the area of Qinghai Lake. The Ejina Green Prefecture on the shore of the Juyan Sea is boundless, the water and grass are fertile, the horses are galloping, the cattle and sheep are everywhere, and the Yanjun Division of Heishui Town in Xixia is located here.

The Hanhuo horses once fought here and won thousands of miles.

Li Ling led 5,000 infantry to attack the Xiongnu in the north of Yanhai, and the lone army went deep into the enemy territory for thousands of miles, and the 5,000 infantry defeated 30,000 Xiongnu iron cavalry, annihilated thousands of enemies, and smashed the Xiongnu's lair; The Xiongnu besieged Li Ling with the strength of the country, Li Ling's army ran out of arrows, fought and retreated, retreated to Juyanhai for dozens of miles, and the Xiongnu pursued all the way and suffered heavy losses, and wanted to give up; A sergeant under Li Ling surrendered to the Xiongnu and informed Li Ling that the army was in distress, so the Xiongnu besieged again.

Thousands of miles through the desert.

For the king, the Huns will be taken away.

The road is desperate and the blade is broken.

The people are gone.

In this way, Li Ling was on the shore of Juyan Sea, leaving behind a singing and crying past that was debated endlessly in later generations.

The great poet Wang Wei once stood on the shore of the Juyan Sea and wrote "Plug on the Works":

Juyan outside the city hunting the sky, the white grass even the sky fire.

Drive horses when the clouds are empty in the twilight, and the autumn plain is good for shooting eagles.

Today, the Han Iron Cavalry once again fought in Juyanhai, under the red Songzi flag, Miao Zhu licked his chapped lips, and whipped the war horse from time to time; Although there were only 7,000 soldiers behind him, because they were all one person and two horses, the military array was very large, and the whirlwind swept across the desert like waves!

The strength of the Xiangli Qiguang army in Heishui Town reached about 15,000, but Miao Zhu and every soldier behind him firmly believed that he could win; Because, they are the world-leading Xihe Army, what they are best at is to run thousands of miles, winning more with less!

There are still more than 100 miles away from Juyanhai, a low mountain lies in front of you, surrounded by patches of poplar forests, which are full of green under the spring breeze.

The scouts in front galloped over and reported loudly: "General Miao, the five thousand enemy troops in front are coming towards our army." ”

Miao Zhu looked up to the sky and laughed wildly: "Okay, good!" After running thousands of miles, I finally met someone who came to deliver food, brother, we can finally open the meat, rush me, kill it first! ”

"Kill, kill, kill!"

The 7,000 people behind Miao Shu suddenly danced with knives and guns, screaming non-stop, it felt like a group of hungry wolves holding knives and forks, preparing to share a table of delicious food, not only did not have the slightest fear of battle, but were excited.

Miao Zhi pointed at the long knife, rushed out first, and thousands of horses galloped behind him, like a sandstorm blown by a hurricane, sweeping away overwhelmingly, and the heavy sound of horses' hooves shook the nearby poplar trees dancing wildly.

rushed for a few miles, and sure enough, I saw thousands of cavalry on the opposite side, all bald heads shining in the sun, that's right, so eye-catching, who do you cut if you don't cut it?

Miao Zhi did not stop, led the army to rush over, the two armies approached quickly, like two rushing torrents, and finally crashed together, and for a while the yellow dust was rolled, and the blood and rain were flying.

Miao Zhu held the big knife in his hand, and every time he slashed out, he roared wildly, and the Xia soldiers he met were often cut open by him with a single sword, and watched his big knife cut through the body.

Soon, Miao Zhu, a ruthless man, was covered in blood, and the Xia army on the opposite side was surging, and when he encountered him, a bloody man, he was a little timid first, and he couldn't help but avoid; The Xihe soldiers behind Miao Zhu were also screaming, and when they were killed, they forgot about life and death.

As soon as they saw each other, the Xia army broke and retreated, how could Miao Zhu let them go, chasing and killing all the way, the Xia army fled to the side of a low mountain and avoided a canyon; Miao Zhu saw that the canyon between the two mountains was two miles wide, and the slope was very gentle, even if there was an ambush, there was room for maneuver.

Miao Zhi laughed again: "Sons, kill me in, hahaha!" Xiang Li Qiguang probably wants to ambush us inside, let's let him see, what is indestructible! Kill! ”

"Kill, kill, kill, kill ......"

This is the Xihe Army led by the ruthless man, knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, and preferring to go to the tiger mountains; One by one, they brandished knives and guns and screamed, and went into the valley with Miao Zhu.

Sure enough, after entering the valley, a series of horns sounded on the mountains on both sides, and then Xiang Li Qiguang led tens of thousands of Xia troops to kill them quickly from the mountains on both sides.

When the general army encounters such an ambush, the morale of the army is usually in turmoil, but the Xihe army is the enemy who is here to deliver food, and the two-mile-wide canyon, the Xia army quickly rushes closer.

Sergeant Xia was surprised while rushing, why is the Song army still not chaotic? Isn't this our ambush? It should be messed up, right? Why isn't it messy?

Messy birds!

Miao Zhu had a good time to divide the 7,000 men and horses into two, and let the deputy general Zhao Weide lead 3,000 people, and each rushed towards the Xia army on the side; The two armies were finally strangled together, and the entire canyon reverberated with a thunderous shouting of killing, the sword light and blood shadows were intertwined like a curtain, and the galloping horses' hooves raised bursts of yellow dust, filling the entire canyon and soaring into the sky.

Miao Zhi led the army to the right, Zhao Weide led the army to the left, and the two armies did not attack the mountain from the back, but rushed into the enemy formation and rushed inward in parallel.

Zhao Weide took the lead, and the long horse lance ploughed open a puff of blood rain, and one by one Xia Jun was knocked off the horse, becoming a pile of meat under the horse's hooves.

Xia Jun seemed to be inexhaustible, Zhao Weide was stabbed twice, his skin was turned over, and his blood flowed like an infusion, but he didn't look at it much, and still jumped on his horse and raised his gun to rush to kill; The soldiers behind him are also more and more courageous, like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, slashing with a knife, shouting one after another, a puff of blood, a war horse that fell to the ground, blood through the clothes, yellow sand flying.

Finally, the Xia army in front of him became fewer and fewer, and Zhao Weide finally chiseled through the enemy formation and rushed out, but before he could turn his horse's head, he suddenly fell with the war horse, and the soldiers who followed him were the same as him, just like a rushing river suddenly met a cliff, forming a waterfall that fell down.

It turned out that in front of them was a cliff, only more than two zhang deep, because the battlefield was full of yellow sand, it was not clear from a distance, the Song soldiers rushed to kill, and fell down in batches, they did not die under the enemy's sword, but died under this cliff, and died very tragically; At least thousands of Song troops, like a cut down wheat wave, fell down the cliff, almost filling the entire cliff, Miao Zhu, who rushed over on the right, saw this tragic scene, his eyes were blood-red, and his blood was full of blood; He brazenly lifted the iron helmet on his head, draped his long hair, and roared like a mad lion: "Brother, kill me back!" Kill back! Avenge the brothers who died, kill him without leaving a piece of armor, kill and kill! ”

"Kill......"

Thousands of Song troops converged in one place, all of them were stunned, and they fought back desperately, no matter what formation, no matter what life or death, they cut people when they saw them, where there were more people rushing in, you cut me once, I cut you twice, see who fell first!

This kind of lifeless fighting style scared Xia Jun to the point that they were scattered, and they felt that they were not facing a group of people, but a group of devils who devoured people and ate people.

The frightened Xia army then avoided one after another, and when there were many people who avoided, the sense of fear spread like a plague, and the war was fought on morale, and when morale was lost, the Xia army finally evolved into a major rout.

And Miao Zhi had long forgotten Yang Yi's order to kill as little as possible and take prisoners as much as possible, and chased and slashed fiercely one by one, chasing them out of the valley, and killing them all the way to Juyanhai.

On the boundless Ejina grassland, the Xia army scattered and fled, and the Song army would never let go, unless the war horse was tired and fell to the ground, it would never stop killing! Some Song soldiers dared to chase hundreds of Xia soldiers and slash wildly, and no one dared to turn back and resist the frightened Xia army; This is the scene of a living tiger catching a sheep, no matter how many sheep there are, it is useless, and they are also chased by a fierce tiger and run all over the mountains; This pursuit lasted for a whole day, and more than 10,000 people of the Xia army were killed, more than 5,000 were killed, and the rest were all dispersed and disappeared.

At dusk, Miao Zhi began to gather the army, and at a glance, there were less than 5,000 people left, and more than 2,000 people were lost, which can be said to be the greatest loss suffered by the Song army since the beginning of the Battle of Hexi.

Miao Zhu was so ruthless that he immediately rushed into Juyan City and slaughtered the city!

Everyone was very tired, so tired that they couldn't move, but Miao Zhu knew that the iron should be struck while it was hot, so he let the soldiers eat some dry food, and after resting for an hour, he immediately ordered the siege of the city overnight.

Juyan City is only more than one zhang high, located on the side of the Black River, dozens of miles away from the East Juyan Sea; Miao Zhu, a ruthless man, asked the soldiers to drag the corpse of the Xia army with horses, and directly filled it into the moat, filling in a siege passage in an instant, which frightened the Western Xia soldiers and civilians in the city crazy.

Fleeing back to the city, Xiangli Qiguang finally organized more than a thousand old and weak to defend the city, as soon as they saw this scene, the remnants of the Xia army in the city couldn't help but tremble their legs, Miao Zhi did not persuade him to surrender, an order, hundreds of grenades were thrown on the city, the huge explosion continued, the fire soared into the sky, the smoke choked people, and the Juyan City was trembling!

Xiang Li Qiguang knew that he couldn't hold it, so he quietly took his family and Baishi's loyal subordinates, opened the city gate from the other side, and fled into the vast night, and Juyan City was trampled under the feet of Miao Zhu.

It was the night when the Song army entered the city, searched to Liqiguang, all night, more than 20,000 party members in the city cried and shook the sky, this time Miao gave no too many restraints on the soldiers, and when it was dawn, the cry of Juyancheng still came and went.

Yang Yi received the news from the spy staff of the Staff Pavilion and learned about the situation in Juyan City, and couldn't help frowning secretly.

Miao Zhu was angry because of the loss of soldiers, and plundered and slaughtered in Juyan City, and more than half of the people were killed. Yang Yi also didn't want to see this kind of situation, an army, no one can guarantee whether it loses or wins, and it is normal for the soldiers to be angry if they suffer heavy losses; But as a general, Miao Zhu should not lose his mind, this kind of senseless looting and killing of civilians is not enough.

Yang Yi, as the head of the marching army, has an unshirkable responsibility, so he has to ask himself for his guilt, no matter what, let's bail Miao down first!

Miao Zhu fought bravely and made many achievements, but he has not been reused, probably because of his character.
