Chapter 51 Lighting the Sky Lantern 5

readx; The concussion caused by the explosion of a large amount of gunpowder made these Xixia people who were within half a mile of the explosion point but did not have the slightest preparation to suffer enough, some people have been torn apart by gunpowder, some people have been shocked to death, and some people have lost part of their bodies, and the remaining people have also been temporarily damaged by the terrifying shock wave The brainstem nerves have been temporarily damaged, and the consequence is that the whole person is as unstable as a drunk, and the war horse falls to the ground and pulls his head in pain. This sensitive and beautiful creature is even more resistant to the sound waves generated by the explosion. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The young army rushed into this group of swaying Xixia crowd like a wind, and the racing war horse trampled on the Xixia people brutally, the long knife did not need to be chopped, only the ring hook on the handle was hung on the leather waist guard, and the blade of the knife handle was outward, relying on the speed of the war horse, and the heads could be easily cut off. So everywhere these people go, it's a bloody storm.

The Xixia people who staggered around the pit like a wandering spirit could not see that these people were once the famous ironclad army, and the young men of the youth army shouted loudly like harvesting crops to harvest these cavalry that had lost their combat power, turning a cruel battlefield into their competitive playing field, changing tricks to do all kinds of difficult killing tricks, but whenever there were people who could resist, the teenagers were not reckless, but in groups to eliminate all those weak resistance, and the education they received since childhood made them understandThe wolf has always been a pack creature, and the lone wolf may be dangerous, but there is no wolf pack to come|.. terrible.

Yun Zheng's long knife also saw blood, but his armor was covered with blood. He is not very good at killing, the knife is not well controlled, killing others and killing his own blood, from then on, the bull and the monkey will never allow him to come forward to kill the enemy again.

As soon as the explosion was over, Zhang Zhi dodged the entanglement of the war elephant like a mad and shouted to his subordinates, and barely gathered a team of men and horses to come at full speed to meet Moruha, who had already joined the Song army.

Before he ran to the explosion point, he saw that the cavalry of the Song army was wantonly slashing and killing those Western Xia soldiers who had no war horses and no weapons, and the tragic situation in front of him made Zhang Zhi's eyes split.

The infantry of the Song army had already rushed out of Checheng and were marching towards the battlefield, and their battle formation was still intact. But every time he took a step forward, Zhang Zhi felt a little more pressure. These Song troops must not be allowed to participate in the herd of war elephants, in the chaotic field, the cavalry will not be able to run and will be tortured and killed alive by the infantry, he never thought that Yun Zheng's subordinates would have any mercy and mercy for the Western Xia people.

I saw the Tangut people coming. Liang Ji and Peng Jiu cautiously brought the young army to the other side of the big pit. These children are his own children and nephews. Liang Ji and Peng Jiu would not take their safety lightly no matter what, not to mention that the marshal was in the cavalry ranks.

"Yun Zheng!" Zhang Zhi saw Yun Zheng's handsome banner, and shouted at the Song army through the big pit with a radius of ten zhang.

"Zhang Zhi!" Yun Zheng didn't mind delaying a little at this time. As long as the infantry is killed in the herd of war elephants, the battle will be settled. "Zhang Zhi, you killed my Song people and ate my Song people, did you ever think that you still have today?"

Zhang Zhi stared at Yun Zheng with blood-red eyes and said angrily: "Isn't it a natural thing for wolves to eat sheep? Besides, the old man is not a Song person, what about cannibalism, and there are still fewer cannibals in the annals of history? ”

Yun Zheng nodded and said: "It makes sense, I didn't treat you as a Song person, don't complain when I catch you and bring all of your Zhang clan to light the sky lantern." ”

"It's just a small trick of carving insects, you think you've won now?"

"Sixty percent of the wins, the remaining four achievements will rely on our own swords to speak!" After Yun Zheng finished speaking, he lit a gunpowder bomb hanging from his chest with the velvet cotton on the saddle and threw it vigorously.

Yun Zheng's arm strength was not enough, and he had nowhere to borrow strength on the back of a war horse, and the gunpowder bullet just flew to the edge of the pit and exploded there, but it didn't matter, the young soldiers had already prepared the crossbow arrows when Yun Zheng and Zhang Zhi were talking, and seeing that their own marshal had already begun to attack, they were naturally not polite, and immediately activated the mechanism of the crossbow arrows, and the locust-like crossbow arrows flew towards the opposite side.

Zhang Zhi is naturally not a good stubble, and the condor archer, who had been prepared for a long time, used the three thick long arrows with the body of his companion as a cover, drilled out from under his companion's ribs, and went straight to Yun Zheng's chest and face.

Two huge tower shields appeared in front of Yun Zheng, three crossbow arrows nailed to them, the tail feathers were still trembling slightly, Yun Zheng was satisfied to see countless gunpowder bullets flying over his head, so he was satisfied to let Han Niu take away the giant shield, and he took a closer look to see if Zhang Zhi had a small ballista thrown out of the gunpowder shells to death, but he didn't expect Han Niu to disagree, and the monkey pulled the big green horse and walked back slowly.

The black smoke from the explosion completely shrouded the cavalry that Zhang Zhi had finally gathered, and when the smoke and dust were blown away by the wind, Yun Zheng found that Zhang Zhi had already run away, and as for the corpse that naturally fell to the ground.

The young army could no longer hold back the war spirit in their hearts, and the war horses of the tiger and the leopard even crossed Liang Ji and Peng Jiu, staring at Zhang Zhi stubbornly, one wanted Zhang Zhi's sweaty horse, and the other was more interested in Zhang Zhi himself.

The attack of the war elephant has come to an end, because the male elephant and the female elephant converged, the male elephant diligently sniffed the wet butt of the female elephant, at this moment, a ball of fire rose from under the tail of each elephant without warning, this kind of pain made the elephant who was about to go crazy by the mating ** torture completely berserk, if the war elephant was just relying on instinct to fight, and now, those war elephants have gone completely crazy, a war elephant screamed, He actually used his nose to roll up a Western Xia cavalry who wanted to pass by, and threw him into the air, and when his body fell, a thick leg had already stepped heavily on his chest and abdomen.

The war elephants began to take the initiative to hurt people, so the battlefield became a mess, and the Song army came out of the woods at this time, and stood on the periphery, constantly hitting the enemy with crossbow arrows, eight-ox crossbows or gunpowder shells.

The terrain here is very suitable for this mode of warfare, the Tangut people are now at the bottom of a small basin, and the complete military formation is torn apart by the war elephants, if there is no war elephant to restrain them, such a gentle hillside is not much of a threat to the cavalry, but now, they want to rush up the small hillside, it has become wishful thinking.

Some Western Xia generals discovered the immediate crisis, and reluctantly gathered some of their subordinates to rush up the hillside to open an escape route for the army, but helplessly, whenever they gathered a small number of soldiers on the periphery of the basin, dense gunpowder shells or arrow rain would fall, they were not heavy cavalry who could rely on battle armor to protect themselves from threats, only a light cavalry with thin leather armor could not stop the fragments produced by the explosion of gunpowder shells or sharp three-edged armor cones.

The desperation continued to spread among the Western Xia army, the mad war elephants were still raging in the crowd with red eyes even though their bodies were covered with blood, and the Song army was slowly surrounding from three sides, and some of the smarter generals and their subordinates wanted to break through to the back, and when they arrived in the Hanwang Valley, they found that there were also Song troops here, and they placed crossbow arrays and ballistas on the high points of this hilly land, and there were not many people at each high point, only a hundred or ten, but these sparse and sparse high points just happened to be able to seal all the way out.

A very strange form was formed on the battlefield, the Song army was all in the high places of the hills, and the Western Xia people were all in the low places without exception, Zhang Zhi, who had just escaped back, sighed when he looked at the battlefield, and had to admit that the Song army had at least eighty percent hope of victory at this moment.

Fierce battles raged on every land, the brave Tanguts rushed left and right on the battlefield, they fought hard against the mad elephants, fought hard against the cavalry of the Young Army, tried to dodge the ubiquitous cold arrows and gunpowder bullets, and even had to face the spears stabbed by the Song army's foot soldiers.

The number of war elephants on the battlefield is getting smaller and smaller, many elephants have fallen to the ground because of exhaustion, and more than an hour of vigorous exercise has drained their physical strength, and they themselves are a kind of graceful creatures that walk slowly, running wildly, furious for an hour, and then no longer have the heart to think about their own mating, they can only lie on the ground and wail helplessly.

Zhang Zhi looked at the corpses everywhere and wanted to cry without tears, and almost all of the 5,000 subordinates who were barely gathered were injured, and at least more than 1,000 people lost their war horses.

"General, please allow the last general to take these brothers who have lost their horses to kill a bloody way for the general, and he does not seek glory and wealth, but only asks the general to take care of the family of the last general for the sake of the last general's death."

Li Qing, who was disheveled, walked to Zhang Zhi with one leg and knelt down on one knee.

Zhang Zhi muttered as if he had lost his soul: "There is no chance, Yun Zheng didn't plan to let us leave here alive, all this is my fault for being greedy for merit, knowing that Yun Zheng is a despicable villain, I still fell for him." ”

Li Qing looked up at Zhang Zhi and said: "General, as a soldier, you should survive in the land of death, how can you give up a glimmer of life, Yun Zheng's methods are beyond the expectations of all of us, we can see war elephants in the north, and we will not lose unjustly."

General, only if you go back alive, the families of the brothers can have something to eat, otherwise they will not have a way to live in this year of great famine, general, the last general will go to charge, please get on the horse, the brothers will dig a way to escape for you even if you dig the ground with your hands, general, please live well for the brothers. ”

Zhang Zhi's tears flowed down his gray beard, untied the water bladder from the war horse, first gave the war horse some water, and then drank some himself, filled his mouth with some fried rice, made up his short spear and feather arrows, and prepared to break through.

Li Qing's side gathered countless remnants, the most seriously injured and barely able to walk the Tangut people stood at the front with shields, they had no weapons, and there was no need to take weapons, they were the group of people who feinted, they were sent to death......
