Chapter 777 The mountains are like the sea, the remnants of the sun are like blood, a generation of heroes, captured alive

At the front end of the battlefield, it was the vanguard led by Dou Jiande's adopted sons, and the thirteen Taibao led the forward cavalry to attack hard, but the fierce saturated covering attack in front of them seemed to never stop, they seemed to have fallen into a trap of fierce beasts, draining blood, shouting all their breath, and trying their best, but finally seemed to be stuck in a mud pond!

One by one, the cavalry fell from their horses, and the number of people in the queue became more and more thin, although the leading officer still shouted with all his might, and the spear in his hand swept with all his might, spraying blood out......

More and more Xia troops fell on the way to the charge, and the corpses even blocked the way forward, and the Hebei army seemed to intend to annihilate the Xia army with long-range firepower. The boulder crossbows that fell like a torrential rain formed an unbridgeable chasm, and even if the cavalry hit their heads and broke the blood, they could not break even a gap.

When the attack, which had lasted for more than half an hour, stopped, the 20,000 cavalry of the Xia army had basically lost thousands of horsemen. If it weren't for the timely arrival of the infantry behind and the erection of a huge shield wall in front of them with their shields, such losses would have only been greater.

Faced with such a situation, Dou Jiande also had to order the cavalry to stop continuing to charge, and instead mobilize the infantry to advance in formation. An attempt was made to use the shield array to send the infantry phalanx to the Hebei Army in order to destroy the countless crossbow beds and catapults and other long-range weapons of the Hebei Army.

One by one, the battalions lined up in a neat formation, braving iron crossbows, stone bullets and all kinds of firearms, holding shields and gritting their teeth.

In the formation of the Hebei Army, Li Benlei held a clairfront mirror in his hand, watching the Xia Army change formation, without the slightest emotion on his face, "At this point, Dou Jiande can still have so many soldiers and horses who support him, and this person is indeed a hero." It's a pity that the heart is too big. When he arrived, he could only end up in defeat and death. Command of the marshal. Shoot the willow archer battalion, the armor-piercing crossbowman battalion prepares, and a hundred steps collectively shoot on the back. As long as the Xia army does not surrender, do not stop. ”

The battalion of crossbowmen is in front, and the battalion of archers is in the rear. As many as 20,000 crossbowmen lined up in ten neat phalanxes, and when they heard the command, they quickly drew their bows and arrows and pointed their arrows forward.

The smoke of gunpowder has not yet dissipated, and in the smoke and dust of the dark night, Cao Bao, Cao Zhan, Fan Yuan, and Liu Bin also dismounted, holding a shield in one hand and a sword in the other. The sound of neat footsteps kept approaching, and the 50,000 Xia army infantry lined up in a huge wedge-shaped formation and leaned up.

"Hold your ground!" Cao Bao shouted loudly. The infantrymen wore armor and wielded blades. His stamina was limited, and he had to keep the infantry under pressure to get closer to him. Wait until the formation is closest to the enemy array before charging. Then the soldiers will have enough explosiveness and stamina.

The front of the bow and crossbow battalion of the Hebei Army. General Chen Qing looked at Xia Jun in the dark night, and there were black crows. I couldn't help shouting the order, "Crossbowmen prepare, a hundred steps to shoot freely, shoot!" ”

"Whew!"

At the sound of an order, arrows rained down, a full 10,000 longbows and 10,000 strong crossbows were fired at the same time, and countless long arrows shot up the dark starry sky, and then with a loud whistling sound, they went towards the countless Xia troops in the Xia army's infantry array. The dense arrows were like a huge dark cloud, covering the already bleak starlight more and more. Like countless raindrops, arrows rained down intensively. The Xia soldiers desperately raised the shields in their hands to cover themselves and their comrades, but with such a dense rain of arrows, the Xia soldiers who lacked shields were hit by arrows one after another, and some soldiers were even inserted with dozens of arrows in an instant, and the whole person was shot into a hedgehog.

Faced with such a situation, Dou Jiande's heart was dripping blood, but he could only grit his teeth and continue to swing his sword to mobilize battalion after battalion of brothers to rush forward. After paying a huge price and stepping on the corpses of countless brothers, the Xia army infantry finally rushed to the front of the Hebei army.

But before the soldiers of the Xia Army could breathe a sigh of relief, one after another huge shouts of killing sounded, and the Five Thousand Mo Sword Army, which had been waiting for a long time in front of the formation, was dispatched. These heavy infantrymen, who were covered in thick armor, raised the huge Mo knife in their hands, shouted a word of kill, took a step forward, and waved the knife. In the flickering firelight, countless white swaying blades were combined to form a brilliant wall of knives. …,

Mo knife soldiers, swinging knives like a wall to advance. The infantry of the Xia army, which had gone through a lot of hardships to rush to the front of the formation, had long since lost a complete formation, and in the face of such a fierce sword wall, one after another the Xia army was split in half and died tragically.

Dou Jiande and others led the cavalry to charge from both flanks, trying to cover the infantry from the flanks to break through the array of the Hebei army. But in front of the eight-foot-long Mo Dao, and the rows of Mo Dao soldiers like iron towers, they could only hit the reefs like waves, were ruthlessly smashed, and then scattered under the reefs.

After one of his subordinates fell off the horse, he was instantly cut into a pulp of meat by the countless Mo knives handed over from around! Dou Jiande had already dismounted, his war horse fell neighingly, one of his legs was pierced by a spear from nowhere, dragging a stump leg, this Hebei hero still looked indifferent!

He stood there with a long lance in one hand and a horizontal knife in the other, the armor on his body had left more than ten tears, and he couldn't see the original color of the armor with blood all over his body! It's just that he still hasn't fallen!

The lance swung out again, and even the heavily armored Mo sword soldiers were swept upside down, but the lance finally couldn't withstand the force anymore, bursting and shattering! The horizontal knife in his hand has already been curled, and the blade is covered with tiny notches!

Dou Jiande's whole body strength was condensed together, and after a dazzling sword light, it turned into a bolt of lightning, cutting a deep dent in the breastplate of a Mo sword soldier in front of him, directly shocking the Mo sword soldier to death! But then, a Mo knife soldier next to him slashed obliquely, unloading one of Dou Jiande's legs. Dou Jiande snorted, and the whole person stood unsteadily and fell to the ground.

Another strange knife was swung at him, Dou Jiande couldn't avoid it, and at this time, two bloodied Xia Army soldiers suddenly flashed out from the left and right, and met the sword light with their flesh and blood.

"Your Majesty, go!" The officer of the Xia Army only had time to say such a sentence, and the next moment his whole body was split into two pieces along his shoulder, and blood sprayed Dou Jiande's face. Several Hebei soldiers arrived in time, and together they set up Dou Jiande and retreated.

There was a sharp pain at the broken leg, Dou Jiande's face was mixed with sweat and blood, and he shouted with all his might: "Rush, rush forward"

Countless mutilated corpses fell to the ground, piling up a mountain of corpses. Dou Jiande looked around, but saw the tens of thousands of brothers who were still violently impacting the Hebei Army array before. At this point, the momentum is much quieter. There were corpses everywhere, and the footsteps of soldiers and horses were faintly heard in all directions around in the dark night, and several other soldiers and horses of the Hebei Army had copied over. And they have been killed and wounded innumerable. But even the first line of defense of the Hebei Army's Beida Battalion has not yet rushed through.

At this moment, there was a loud roar from the side, and a group of cavalry equipped by the Hebei Army wearing black cloak and armor suddenly killed from the west. Although these hundreds of cavalry wore the uniform of the Hebei army. But each of them had a white cloth tied to their arm, and they rushed left and right on the battlefield, passing through the cracks. Soon they had rushed to the front of Dou Jiande not far away, and dozens of Xia soldiers hurriedly stepped forward to meet them, but suddenly heard a familiar female voice: "It's me, I'm the red line, where is my father?" ”

Xia Jun looked carefully, only to find that the leader of the Hebei Army he killed was actually Dou Hongxian. At this time, she was completely in the outfit of a Hebei lieutenant officer, if it weren't for her voice. The brethren would not have discovered her identity at all.

Dou Jiande shouted and waved to his daughter, Dou Hongxian rushed forward and jumped off the horse. A few steps rushed in front of Dou Jiande. I was just about to hug my father. But I saw that my father was framed by two sergeants, but he didn't have one leg. The left leg was broken at the same time, and it was tightly tied by a cloth band.

"Dad, what's wrong with you?"

Dou Jiande's face was pale, he gritted his teeth and smiled: "Red line, why are you here?" Aren't you in Henan? ”…,

"My daughter is incompetent and can't get reinforcements." Dou Hongxian looked at his father's broken leg and felt heartache, "Wang Xuanying and Li Mi have been defeated, and they have both been captured by Chen Kefu. ”

"Then why did you still run back, in this case, you should go to Jiangnan or Guannei, in short, you can go anywhere, but you shouldn't go back to Hebei. Dad is dying, the brothers can't rush out today, you go quickly, I have sent your six-year-old brother to the Turkic steppe. At the foot of the mountain north of Yinshan Mountain is the small town of Moraine on the edge of the desert outside Dingxiang County. There are hundreds of old brothers whom I have arranged before, and they are there with the families of your brother and your other uncles. Go there, find them, and take care of them in the place of your father and your other uncles. When you get there, don't stay there any longer, and immediately lead them westward along Yin Mountain, all the way over the Jinshan Mountain Range. If you have the chance, you will eventually go all the way west to the Western Regions. Only by going to the Western Regions can you escape Chen Kefu's pursuit. Come on! ”

Dou Hongxian only knew at this time that his father and uncles had already made second-hand preparations, and in the troubled times, they rebelled, became the king and lost the king, and the family of the defeated person could also be protected. Although at this time, I was glad that there was still a group of people who had been arranged outside the Saiwai in advance, but how could Dou Hongxian be willing to leave like this at this time.

"Dad, I'm not leaving, I'm leaving, let's go together. Dad, the red line will take you together, let's go to Saiwai together, go to the Western Regions, but a place where we will never have contact with the Central Plains again. Dou Hongxian hugged his father and cried bitterly.

Dou Jiande shook his head and looked at the fire dragons coming from afar on all sides, as well as the Beida Camp that had been pitch black. Previously, the Hebei Army dispatched long-range equipment and firearms, and sent out archers and crossbowmen, and now it has dispatched this terrifying heavy sword soldier. But Dou Jiande understood that the strongest cavalry in the Hebei Army was still cavalry, and the cavalry of the Hebei Army had not been dispatched, but their 70,000 men had been completely chaotic.

Looking at the messy and scattered Xia army, Dou Jiande knew in his heart that the cavalry of the Hebei army was about to be dispatched. As soon as the Hebei cavalry came out, the battle of Tongshan would end, and his Xia Kingdom would completely cease to exist. The only way to escape is now.

"Line Niang, listen to me, my father broke a leg and couldn't ride a horse, how to break through. And even if my father could go, but my brothers were already here, how could I escape alone? A manly man, what is there to fear in life and death? Line mother, it was I who brought these brothers to this point, and now they are all gone before me one by one, and I have to follow them underground to be brothers again. Line girl, you don't need to say more, take advantage of the opportunity now, go quickly. It's my dad begging you, although my dad is defeated in this life, he is also vigorous, and he has no regrets. The only thing I can't let go of is your sister and brother, you promised me that you must break out and take care of my brother on my behalf, go quickly! ”

Dou Hongxian's tears kept dripping, and he was still reluctant.

"Let's go, let's go!" Dou Jiande roared with a stiff neck.

Dou Hongxian turned over and got on the horse, reluctantly looked back at Dou Jiande, remembered the task given to her by her father, gritted her teeth, and was ruthless, "Dad, take care!" With both legs kicking the horse's belly, he disappeared into the night with hundreds of subordinates wearing Hebei Army armor.

Hundreds of horsemen broke through the encirclement of the Hebei army in the night, and the four marshals Yu Qinming, Luo Zhong, Luo Yi, and Xue Dingguo had each led a road of soldiers and horses to surround the Xia army from all sides. It was only at this time that Li Benlei ordered the Broken Army Camp and the Greedy Wolf Battalion, which had been waiting, to put on armor and immediately armor, and the whole army attacked.

Tens of thousands of remnants were surrounded on all sides, and 10,000 cavalry entered the battlefield, rampage all the way, completely taking away the last chance for the Xia army to gather and resist. After several charges, the Xia army was completely dispersed, and then the Hebei army was surrounded on all sides, constantly dividing and encircling. …,

Dou Jiande and others also completely showed the ruthlessness of the Hebei people at this time, and would rather die than surrender. Although the Hebei army continued to surrender to Dou Jiande, Dou Jiande completely refused without even thinking about it. And the other soldiers of the Xia Army are also worthy of the title of the most elite old battalion of the Xia Army at this time, and they have completely achieved life and death with Dou Jiande, fought to the end, and swore not to retreat.

By the time the east finally showed a touch of whiteness, Luo Yi had already taken the lead in delivering good news, the 80,000 Xia troops surrounded by him on his side, except for the more than 5,000 soldiers and horses killed in the melee, the remaining more than 70,000 people had all abandoned their weapons and surrendered. The only 3,000 cavalry that refused to surrender, although they broke through the southern camp, were finally blocked by a Modao army and a light cavalry ambushed in the south. None of the 3,000 cavalry surrendered, and all of them fought to the end. In the end, less than 300 prisoners were captured, and all of them were seriously wounded. Gao Yaxian, Dong Kangmai, Wang Wan, and Kong Shaode, the four generals of Hejian, all fought until the last moment and were seriously wounded and captured.

The sun is in the middle of the sky, and the battle is until noon.

Li Benlei once again sent an envoy to Dou Jiande to convey the demands of the Hebei army, and all the Xia troops abandoned their weapons and surrendered on the spot. As soon as noon passed, it was either surrendered or killed. Facing the letter sent by the messenger, Dou Jiande half-lay on the corpse of a war horse, laughed and tore up the letter. "If you want Lao Tzu's life, you can come up and take it yourself, Lao Tzu has already killed enough, and now every more kill is earned."

The messenger brought back Dou Jiande's reply, and Li Benlei looked at the Xia army trapped in the encirclement at this time, and gave the order of encirclement and suppression without hesitation. Countless Hebei infantry held shields and slowly advanced with neat steps. The horizontal swords were shining, the spears were sharp, and all the Xia troops who refused to surrender in front of them were mercilessly killed or captured.

Before dusk and sunset, the Hebei army finally attacked the last small slope of the Xia army's resistance, Dou Jiande sat on the ground and raised a knife to kill three Hebei soldiers, and at the last moment wanted to raise a knife to commit suicide, but was shot down by the Hebei soldiers and captured alive.

The remnant sun is like blood, the Tongshan War is finally over, Hebei Xiaoxiong Dou Jiande was captured, and the last rebel army in Hebei has changed from Great Yan to Great Wei, and finally to Great Xia, but at this time, the kingdom established by the family and the people has finally been completely wiped out.

At dusk, the mountains are like the sea, and the remnant sun is like blood.
