Volume 3 Mending the Cracks in the Sky Chapter 89 Blocking the Storm (19)
An iron shovel was knocked down with a fierce wind, and the man holding the shovel was a young man with horizontal and vertical scars on his face, small eyes and hooked nose, and it was terrifying to look at.
This ugly young man was dressed in the armor and robe of the Shenwu Victorious Army, and the reins were firmly wrapped around his left arm to facilitate the use of strength when the horse was fighting, standing up with both feet in the stirrups, leaning forward, and smashing the wedge down, the crotch of the war horse was pressed to the waist, and the four hooves dug out the boss's dust, obviously this mace has used the strength of life!
The one who suffered from this was a Jurchen knight, who wore half armor without a helmet, and looked at the shape of the armor, which also looked like a piece of armor captured from the Song army. Compared with the Liao armor that the Jurchens were accustomed to using before, the armor used by the Song army immediately had less protection, but it was lighter. It was also the shape that was used in the Song army when there were not many good horses and could only reduce the weight of armor. However, for the Jurchen knights who have to undertake the task of being a remote sentinel hard detective, it is more popular. This kind of armor can be worn directly on the body to explore dozens of miles without removing the leg armor and iron boots, and it does not need to be packed in the armor bag. And it's a lot more flexible.
The Jurchen knight was already covered in blood, and he was so tired after the fight that he didn't even have time to raise the long knife in his hand. Thanks to the fact that he was only wearing half armor of the Song people, he was flexible in his movements. Picking off the left pedal and sliding down to the right, he actually let go of this hard split.
There was a muffled thud, then the bones breaking, and finally the long screams and neighing of the horses. This mace fell on the saddle, not only smashed the wooden saddle to pieces, sawdust flew everywhere, but a majestic Liaodong horse broke tendons and fractured, and fell to the ground with a long neigh!
The Jurchen armor soldier fell down with his mount, and the Song army armor soldier pulled out his saber and was about to pick up the stirrups and dismount to make up for it. But a horse rushed out next to him, and the lance of the horse poked out from a distance. As he swept past the Jurchen armor who was crushed to the ground by his war horse and struggled. The lance was at his throat. It's all blood springs that rise up with bubbles. The esophagus and trachea were cut off by this area, and the gods could not be saved.
Eyes moved away from the dead Jurchen armor soldier, within a radius of dozens of zhang, hundreds of horsemen rode horses and fought fiercely together, and from time to time someone fell. Among the more than 100 horsemen, the Jurchens wearing different types of armor and disorganized clothes were only twenty or thirty horsemen, and the Shenwu Changsheng army armor with red tassels and hunting and dancing occupied an absolute advantage. But in such a melee. The casualties on both sides were still close to one to one.
In addition to the more than 100 horsemen who fought hand-to-hand battles, there were more Song army knights who outflanked them from both wings, cutting off the retreat of these Jurchen knights. It's the idea of killing them all!
At this time, the battle is nearing its end. And it was Li Zhong who made up for the last shot. He is a man who has broken his muscles and bones, and the collision formation of hard bridges and hard horses is no longer complete, but looking for a gap in the air, a lance floats in, and still shows the ruthless ability of the old horseman.
The ugly-faced armorer saw that Li Zhong finally came to pick up the cheap. actually glared at Li Zhong fiercely, turned around and left with a curse in his mouth. Go and find another Jurchen Tartar to fight. Wolves have more meat and less meat, so you have to hold on!
After a short sprint, Li Zhong had already begun to gasp heavily, and at this time he tried his best to suppress his heavy breathing, and raised the lance high: "Take the live mouth!" ”
It was the ugly-faced armor soldier again, and he rode his horse to the side of a war group, and several Song army armor soldiers were fighting to the death around a Jurchen knight. The Jurchen knight seemed to be still a leading general, with a long knife in his right hand and a short spear in his left hand, and he controlled the mount to turn around with his legs, trying his best to sweep out a circle, and he was covered in blood and fought to the end.
Instead, the ugly-faced armorer put away all the iron shovels, and rode his horse into the battle group, and the Jurchen knight pulled his spear sideways, and he grabbed it. The two sides competed, and their strength was comparable, and no one was stronger than the other. Several Song soldiers next to him took advantage of the bargain and were about to surround and arrest people. The ugly-faced armor soldier roared angrily, picked up the stirrup waist and exerted his strength, and actually knocked down the Jurchen Tartar horse at once, and the two rolled into the dust when they were entangled and scuffled!
The fighting around is already at the end at this moment, and it is the last surviving Jurchen Tartar who was knocked down by the ugly-faced armor. When fighting, they do their best, and this is the last way to live. Several Song soldiers shouted together: "Stay alive, little Tartar, stay alive!" ”
The ugly-faced armor soldier strangled the Jurchen knight and landed heavily, and in the dust, it smashed into the face of the Jurchen knight who was still desperately struggling to resist!
With a muffled pop, the ugly-faced armorer wore iron gloves and smashed the Jurchen knight's nose into his face, and the blood splattered, and he couldn't live when he saw it.
Li Zhong rode his horse and rushed over, and when he saw this scene, he immediately scolded: "Little Tartar of the straight mother thief!" ”
The ugly-faced armor soldier slowly got up, rolled his eyes and looked at Li Zhong, and didn't say a word. Or a cavalry commander who had been following Li Zhong next to him explained: "I have also captured the living mouth in front, and it is not those words." Now that the building is troubled, the silver technique can be pressed before the building trouble desperately attacking the city. It seems that he has also used his strength to eat, and he doesn't dare to pounce on Taiyuan without going downstairs. This almost 200 miles rushed down, and the Jurchen Tartars who collided with the hard sentry were only these two teams. You don't have to ask to know that the building is troubled! ”
Li Zhong's face was covered with dust, and he glared at the ugly-faced armorer fiercely. Only then did he sigh: "The straight lady thief is going to fight a bad battle around Loufu City." Hurry up and tidy up the team, or we cavalry take the lead, continue to move forward, don't wait for the people and horses who are slowly coming behind! ”
The commander of the cavalry army was also covered in blood, and there were two heads hanging in front of the horse's neck, and he hesitated: "The sons are too tired, Yinshu has thousands of military horses as the vanguard, and follow-up reinforcements may also arrive." Are we waiting for the follow-up brigade to catch up, and then concentrate on the formation and the Tartars to fight again? ”
Li Zhong's eyes widened: "Where is this time?" Now Lou Fu is the eye of the storm, which side can invest a little more strength, which side has the hope of winning! And we can't lose, we lose the trouble of the building, what should we do in Taiyuan? What to do with Hedong? If we gather troops and march, it is enough strength, at that time, Xiao Han Wu was unfortunate, and the banner of the Jurchen Tartars was erected on the Loufu City, so we went together to accompany Wu Min's head to swing at the south gate of Taiyuan! ”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Xiao Yan came lightly and beheaded Wu Min to determine the hearts of the army and the people in Taiyuan. also immediately grasped the key point of the battle in front of him, that is, to block the opening of Lou Fu. Block the raging tide of the Jurchen Tartars outside the west gate of Taiyuan!
Xiao Yan was the first time. The military horses that can be collected inside and outside Taiyuan City and can be used for field battles are sent to the direction of Loufu. Even if it's to add fuel to the war, it's fine. Whatever you say, you have to hold this hole to the death. That's how you can buy time to adjust your strategic deployment!
The so-called strength that can fight in the field is nothing more than the command of the cavalry army in the rear camp of the Taiyuan Shenwu Changsheng Army, and the command of the four infantry armies. If there are reinforcements from the direction of Han Yue one after another, they will be piled up as many as they want.
Li Yizhong was the first commander of the reinforcements to be sent, and Xiao Yan replenished him with all the mules and horses that could be collected in Taiyuan City. The command of several infantry troops was changed to a horse marcher, and the movement was much faster. But he rushed to the front and opened the way while sentry. Or the only cavalry commander.
All the way to the west, in one day and one night, Li Yizhong led the command of this vanguard cavalry, and it had already run for 1780 miles. It's only twenty or thirty miles away. If it is on the Hebei Plain, you can already see the city at this moment. But located in the river valley, between the mountains and the building trouble, there is still a fog, no one knows if the building trouble is still in the hands of Du Ruhu at this moment!
Hearing Li Yizhong say the word Wu Min, the commander couldn't help but tremble.
If Xiao Yan used to be just a simple man, he had enough prestige in the Shenwu Victorious Army. But those generals from the Western Army said something strange in private. It's inevitable to think differently. But this beheading of Wu Min was the first time to kill a handsome minister since the founding of the country. Only then did the Shenwu Changsheng Army realize exactly what kind of status Xiao Yan has reached now!
And this war is so important to Xiao Yan!
As soon as Li Zhong said this, the commander had nothing to say. rode away, shouting to the weary sons under his command. Gather the Jurchen Tartar mounts that can still be used, and then continue on the road.
A commander of Erlang, nearly two hundred miles away, two small-scale but fierce battles. Exhaustion, you can imagine. But at this time, no one dared to be a little lazy, and when he was panting, he hurriedly poured some cold water and stuffed two mouthfuls of dry cakes into his mouth.
The brothers are fighting hard, and King Yan is behind them. If you don't squeeze out the last bit of strength at this time, when will you wait? And Shenwu often wins, and the army has a point of pride. No matter how bad the battle situation is, from Yandi to here, and finally come out to clean up the situation, it is still King Yan and us!
Li Zhong also pinched his waist and gasped heavily, looking at the ugly-faced armor soldier still standing there. Impatiently waved his hand: "Get on the horse!" There are more Jurchen Tartars ahead, if you are really so easy to kill, then you will be killed! ”
The ugly-faced armor soldier is one of the few former Changsheng soldiers in the Shenwu Changsheng Army, and his life is much more bitter than that of Yandi Hanmin. Although everyone called him Little Tartar, he was a real man. Slaves in those mature tribes in Liaodong. Wanyan gave birth to the Jurchen and fought with the Liao, and the Liaodong Mature Jurchen also made a rebellion in the back, and the Liao people mobilized various departments to kill, and the predecessor of the Changsheng Army also participated in the war. rescued him, and since then he has eaten this bowl of knife rice.
He spoke the Jurchen language, but the Chinese language was extremely influential, so he fell into this name, but no one knew his real name. Ugly in appearance and strange in temper, although he can fight, he can't catch up with the ability of Yang Zaixing like Thirteen Yang De, Yang Zaixing has a dog's temper, but if there is a war, he can be used. The little Tartar is not a genius like Yang Zaixing, so he will naturally be sent to the back camp if he has a bad temper.
However, this guy was humiliated and abused at the hands of the Jurchens, and after being rescued, if he fought with the Jurchen Tartars, he would never die!
is about to fight to the death with the Jurchen Tartars in Lou Fu, and when employing people, although he doesn't want to see this little Tartar, Li Zhong doesn't bother to worry about him.
The little tartar stood stubbornly in the bloodstain, saw Li Zhong waving his hand impatiently, and turned over on the horse without making a sound.
Suddenly, a Jurchen sentence came out of his mouth, and then he raised his hand and pointed forward, facing the west!
Li Zhong raised his head, and hundreds of tired Shenwu Changsheng soldiers also looked up.
In the direction where the west building is located, the smoke and dust rise into the sky, rolling extremely fiercely. And the faint cry of the mountains, all over the mountains, came here!
Lou Fu is still fighting!
It's all like a tiger still nailed there!
Li Zhong roared angrily: "What kind of birds do you eat?" Get on your horses, our brothers, and fight there! Waiting for us to help! (To be continued......)
