"Let's fight!"

The night is dark and the wind is high, and the night is cold and long. On the Tong Mountain in Liyang, Ji County, Gao Yaxian, the general of Hejian, who had been following Dou Jiande since Hejian, slammed his fist on the rough wooden table, and in the uproar, several wine bowls on the table fell to the ground and fell to pieces.

"Yes, just fight the Hebei Army will not really fight with us." Cao Fubao, another general in the river, also had a red face and red ears, and shouted with a big mouthful of wine in his mouth.

The mountains and rivers are exhausted, and the arrows are exhausted.

It's been seven days since I was trapped on Tongshan Mountain, and those seven days were like hell. There is not a day without fighting, not a moment without fighting. Tongshan has already been besieged in all directions, and nearly 200,000 Hebei troops have gathered here, and it is simply an unprecedented thing for so many Hebei troops to gather. As soon as 200,000 Hebei elite soldiers and horses were dispatched, Dou Jiande felt that he was in a good position.

Li Benlei, Yu Qinming, Luo Zhong, Luo Yi, Xue Dingguo besieged the soldiers and horses on the five routes, any commander of the road was a veteran marshal in the Hebei army, in order to deal with them, Chen Pojun mobilized five marshals at once, and 200,000 Hebei elites besieged him.

Xue Wanshu, Xue Wanshu, Xue Wanjun, Xue Wanche, Luo Cheng, Luo Lin, Luo Chun, Luo Song, Li Chengyi, Li Chengli, Li Chengzhi, Zhang Meng, Daniel Zhang, Zhang Wei, Chen Feng, Chen Lin, Chen Huo, Chen Shan. Under the banner of one general, nearly half of the elite generals of the young and strong faction in the Hebei Army have basically gathered.

The five generalissimos, twenty generals, and 200,000 elite Hebei troops besieged Tongshan, and in just seven days, Dou Jiande's Xia army, which originally had 250,000 horses, had only 150,000 left in the blink of an eye. In addition to the countless deaths in the Hebei Army's wheel war-like rotational attack. There were also a large number of Xia troops who surrendered every time the Hebei army attacked. Some of them just took advantage of the darkness to escape.

Dou Jiande knew very well that if it weren't for the fact that the Hebei Army was not worried that they would be killed, they would not be willing to bear too many casualties. This small Tongshan cottage has long been breached.

The generals of the Xia army also knew it, but everyone was still expecting a glimmer of expectation, looking forward to the red line going to Henan to bring back reinforcements. If you don't reach the Yellow River, you won't die. Not at the last moment, none of these Hebei heroes who have been crisscrossing Hebei for many years, and now they have established their own Great Xia Kingdom, are willing to give up.

It's just that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, before dark they had already received a report from the scouts who desperately sneaked into the mountain, Wang Xuanying and Li Mi were defeated, and they were defeated.

Dou Jiande sat there as steady as a rock, unmoving as a pine. But at this time, Dou Jiande had long lost the confidence he had when he was in charge of everything in Yecheng a month ago. The continuous defeats for more than a month have made Dou Jiande's face gray, and the beard under his chin is also a little messy and uncared for. I have been thinking hard for days. He didn't even sleep soundly. Two deep bags under the eyes hung on the face, and the circles under the eyes were dark. His eyes were bloodshot red. The whole person has lost a lot of weight, the two cheekbones are high, and the cheeks on both sides are deeply sunken. In the past, he was defeated repeatedly, defeated again and again, and under Chen Pojun's nose, he struggled to create a career, and even finally created a dynasty of Hebei Xiaoxiong, at this time, he couldn't help but feel a little heroic.

"Fight!"

After a long time, Dou Jiande spit out two words with difficulty in his mouth, and his blinking eyes also showed a sense of determination.

In the middle of the night, the lightly trimmed soldiers were ready for battle!

The cavalrymen saddled their horses tightly, polished their spears well, removed the bags tied to their horses, and then gently patted their beloved horses and turned over and mounted.

In the darkness of the night, the cavalry lined up in formation, and under the majestic urging of the officers, who lowered their voices, held their heads high, and slowly marched in order to line up the ranks.

The wedge-shaped charging array has been formed on the hillside, and in front of it are the three thousand armored cavalry led by the two iron brothers of Dou Jiande, Gao Yaxian and Dong Kangmai, who are the generals of Hejian, and their task is to break through the army of the Hebei general Luo Yi from the front, and they must be completely "chiseled through"! and led the army to break through to the south. And immediately behind them were the infantry of Wang Wan and Kong Shaode, two Hejian brothers. As many as 80,000 infantry lost most of their equipment, only the people around the queue held weapons and wore armor and carried shields, and the people in the middle were left with only a horizontal knife, they didn't need to fight, the only thing to do was one thing, rush! Push forward! After the cavalry and infantry in front broke through the ranks of the Hebei army, they had to risk their lives and quickly rush through the entire battle line. …,

Dou Jiande did not follow them to break through the siege, if they want to break through the encirclement, it is difficult to break through with their soldiers and horses alone. And if the sound is from the east to the west, someone leads a group of soldiers and horses to break through the siege first, attracting the attention of the Hebei army, and the remaining small troops can break through the encirclement.

Gao Yaxian, Dong Kangmai, Wang Wan, and Kong Shaode were the first generals to follow Dou Jiande to get into trouble. Faced with this mortal task, the four of them did not hesitate at all and offered to serve as the generals of this cannon fodder unit.

Gao Yaxian and others are all Hebei Han men who are nearly fifty years old, and after many years of battlefield tearing and killing, the war years have left a deep mark on their faces. The burly body full of scars is still burning with the bloody oath made when they started together.

This mission was basically death-defying, although in order to attract the attention of the Hebei army, they brought with them more than 80,000 people. But in addition to the 3,000 cavalry in the front, the 80,000 infantry in the rear were basically the weakest part of the 150,000 (the fastest update) people on the mountain at this time. Even most of them were not soldiers at all, and many of them were young and strong people who were taken captive all the way when they went south from Yecheng. So many people followed the procession, and many did not even have a sword. At the foot of the mountain, there are all Hebei elites, and there is not even a reserve army such as the township army and civilian regiment.

Dou Jiande carried a wine jar and poured a bowl of wine for each of the four brothers. Then he poured himself a bowl, drank it all in one gulp, and said to the four people with red eyes: "You may die." ”

Hearing this, Gao Yaxian, who was already in his early fifties, laughed a few times heroically, and the resolute lines on his face were still so resolute, without the slightest fear. He lifted the bowl and tilted his neck, drank all the wine in the bowl, and smashed the bowl with one hand.

"Brother, when we couldn't survive and rebelled, I never thought that I would be able to live to this day. Brother, it's been seven years, and these seven years are an extra gift from God. Even if you die today, there's nothing to be afraid of. The man's husband has a big scar on his head, and we are a good man again eighteen years later. Brother, my family and relatives are all gone, and there is nothing to worry about. The only thing I can't put down is the fixed square, I was very optimistic about this kid and the red line to make a pair. Unexpectedly, he went to Beiping to deliver a letter, but he was detained and never returned. Brother has no other wishes, if Brother can make a comeback one day, I hope to bring Dingfang back. ”

After a pause, Gao Yaxian said again: "Brother, the informant is a good child, she has suffered all these years." In the future, don't embarrass this child anymore, let her live with peace of mind. Fight for the world, fight the country, this is a man's business, a woman should not carry these things. Brother, I'm going. ”

Standing upright, Gao Yaxian clenched his fist and hammered him his chest a few times, and then turned around and got on the horse without looking back.

The assault starts before dawn, which is usually the time of the day when people are most tired and less vigilant.

The fourth general Gao Yaxian led the assault troops along the hillside and slowly headed towards their target, the Luo Yi camp in the south.

When the three thousand elite cavalry forwards were only about less than two miles away from Luo Yi's southern camp, the loud horn of the charge finally sounded.

The whining trumpet tears through the silence of the night! In the midst of the passionate trumpet, the three thousand elite river cavalry roared hard, kicked the horse's belly fiercely, urged the war horse, and galloped forward frantically! Taking advantage of the topography of the hillside, the cavalry swooped down from the bottom of the hill and went forward.

Dawn is the darkest moment before dawn, as if the heavens are mourning for this impending tear-up, the sky is covered with dark clouds, and there is no starlight!

In the midst of the horn, the black-pressed horse team galloped up in the wilderness, like a glacier thawing and a dam bursting! …,

Luo Yi's southern army blocked the south of Tongshan with a half-moon-like array, and the breakthrough of the assault cavalry was chosen in the middle!

As soon as the loud trumpet of the death squad-like Hejian Breakout Army sounded, there was an immediate commotion in Luo Yi's camp, people shouted and horses neighed, and torches were scattered in many places.

Gao Yaxian, Dong Kangmai, Wang Wan, and Kong Shaode didn't seem to see the strict camp on the opposite side at all, but just stared at the big camp, and charged forward with the belly of the horse, and three thousand cavalry rushed at the front, the horse was hung with horse armor, and the people were wearing armor, and this cavalry was forcibly armed into an ironclad cavalry. The cavalry with spears swept wildly over the wilderness, and in the dark night, a large dark cloud could also be seen, and the forward rushed to Luo Yi's camp very openly, forcibly breaking through the middle!

The southern camp originally did not have too many defensive fortifications, the simple camp wall was frantically broken by the heavy cavalry, and the heavy cavalry broke into Luo Yi's camp, only to see a chaos all around, the horse's hooves galloped down, and the scattered resistance could not effectively form a block, and the small resistance was instantly shattered under the trampling of the iron hooves! The horses' hooves trampled through the tents one by one, and the discarded torches lit up clusters of flames, and the cries of killing and the horses' hooves shook the sky, as if the whole earth were trembling in the night!

The heavy armored cavalry of the fourth general Gao Yaxian almost did not encounter decent resistance, and directly rushed into the depths of the inner belly of the large camp south of Luo Yi. Under the leadership of 3,000 heavy cavalry, 80,000 infantry poured into the southern camp like a tide.

Everything was so smooth, so smooth that the four generals of Hejian, who had experienced a hundred battles, all looked solemn and uneasy. The avalanche-like roaring army did not give them a chance to contemplate, and the three thousand armored cavalry they led were like waves washed up on the side of the tide, they rushed to the front, led the tide, but could not stop the tide any longer.
