Chapter 14: Three defeats
Although it is possible to ask for it, Yuan Yuan's second general is brave and cannot be committed, but Bixia is watching the battle from the back, how can he allow him to retreat from the battle? Therefore, the Western Xia army broke their pants and wrapped their legs, and rushed forward to fight to the death, and their tenacious will to fight is really awe-inspiring.
Ximen Qing looked at it, suddenly sighed lightly, and said to the generals around him: "How are the Xixia soldiers?" ”
Someone said: "It's really elite! Everyone nodded in unison with solemn faces. Although the position is hostile at the moment, the fighting spirit of the Western Xia soldiers has won the respect of these iron-blooded men.
Ximenqing nodded and said: "The reason why our army was able to easily pacify the Zhao and Song dynasties was because of the time of heaven - this court is too corrupt, and the people of the world are detached from morality and have long harbored two intentions, so we got up and pushed, and everyone threw their arms into it, and it fell like a clay-footed giant; Second, it is also our luck - corruption also buried the Zhao and Song army, although there are millions of people in this pile of behemoths, but there are no two who can fight, so after we raise the army, it is like destroying the withering and decaying, the Song army is invincible, either fleeing or surrendering, and the army is not dull - therefore, the fall of the corrupt Song Dynasty is inevitable, and without our Liangshan Mingjiao, there will also be other heroes to overthrow it; And our victory was accidental, and the kind of blind optimism that our army will be invincible in the world as soon as it comes out is better to forget about it -- think about it! If the Song Dynasty army was as brave as the Western Xia army, could our road to the destruction of the Song Dynasty be so easy? ”
The generals watched the fierce battle, listened to the admonition, and nodded silently. If the level of soldiers of the Western Xia soldiers is first-class, the combat effectiveness of the Song army is simply the ninth rate, and there is really nothing to be complacent about defeating such an opponent. If you were facing the Western Xia Army or the Western Army of the Song Dynasty -- Shaohuashan's ambush of the Western Army that time was not counted by relying on its geographical advantages -- judging from the heart, the victory or defeat was still between the two sides.
was beaten by Ximenqing, and everyone's hearts were heavy. Ximenqing was also afraid, he was afraid that everyone would continue to look at everything, and in the future, he would come out of the stinky chess of marching into the desert with plain tactics, so he would knock and knock them when he had the opportunity, and at the same time, he would also knock and knock himself.
The Western Xia army was really a respectable and formidable opponent. At this time, they were like crazy tigers, desperately biting Zhi Keqiu and Yuan Yuan, Wang Yin and Gao Yu had already led the Ruijin Banner disciples to return to their own formation, but Zhi Keqiu and Yuan Yuan couldn't retreat for a while, because behind them was the plain land between the two armies. Therefore, Yuan Yuan firmly held the mountain pass of Zuihou, and 200 subordinates were horizontal swords and shields, shooting arrows and throwing stones, and the Western Xia army could not hold each other.
Shi Jin was afraid that his junior brother would lose, so he asked Ximen Qing for an order: "When the junior general was in Shaohua Mountain, he was also accustomed to mountain roads, and he was willing to lead the people of the headquarters to come forward to pick up General Ying Zhi and General Yuan." ”
Ximenqing nodded and said, "Okay!" I sent the Ma army to the flanks to help. ”
Shi Jinsui and the deputy general Chen Da, the jumping tiger, and Yang Chun, the white flower snake, led the light troops straight up, shouting: "Fold, general, and retreat first!" ”
It's not polite to ask for it, the sword light is like practice, forcing away the enemy in front of him, retreating backwards, and at the same time laughing: "Let's look at Xian Kunzhong's methods!" ”
Fold can ask for retreat, and Yuan Yuan also retreats. As soon as the blockade of the mountain pass was opened, the Western Xia soldiers swarmed up like a floodgate opening - but after all, the flood peak could not pass the strong embankment.
Yuan Yuan abandoned the halberd, and Shi Jin worked side by side, the two simple knives opened and closed one after the other, one up and the other, overbearing, changeable, although the two brothers and sisters were only the first time to meet, but all the way to the master knife unfolding, the tricks are exquisite, and the tacit understanding is even more unique. Although the Western Xia soldiers were numerous, they were never able to grab the defense line built by the two of them.
Ximen Qing looked at it and sighed: "General Shi Jin and Yuan Yuaner are already so good at martial arts, what about their teacher Wang Jin?" It's a pity that the rotten Song has its material and doesn't use it, and the anti-persecution, the hero of the world, is so chilling! We can easily enter Tokyo, and it is really a gift of rotten Song! Luckily! Luckily! ”
Lu Zhishen heard this and shouted: "There is the head of the Wang sect in the front, and there is the head of the Lin sect in the back, all of them were lost in the hands of the second year of the high school, and the Zhao official family is really popular!" ”
Ximen Qingzheng said: "The corrupt Song Dynasty is self-inflicted, he can't live, the tears of his Zhao family are our lessons, such a mistake, how can my generation make it again?" Everyone bowed down and said, "Be taught!" ”
At this time, Shi Jin Yuan Yuan has also retreated safely, the Xixia soldiers were bound to be enthusiastic to stay, but the high platform Qianshun saw the clear score, the Ximen Qing cavalry lined up on the side of the mountain pass, if their own army dared to chase out, less would be useless, more cavalry horses, and the battle would inevitably be chaotic, at that time, the Ximen Qing army went up to cover, and the forward had to suffer a big loss - so Qianshun ordered Ming Jin, and the Xixia soldiers did not dare to chase forward, so they had to withdraw their troops.
Today's battle, first by Wang Yin made a big fuss, and there were the generals of the Fold family fighting in the back, the Western Xia lost the troops and the generals, and lost their spirit, Qianshun sighed: "It's hateful to teach Ximen Qing to occupy the mountain pass today, my army is confined to a narrow road, no conflict, no land, and only then did it fall to the bottom - but it is not a good person who does not need to die, and it is really a mistake that the widow does not know the geography!" ”
Hearing Qianshun say this, two generals rushed out and said: "Bixia is guilty of self-sin, what is the use of asking my generation to wear armor?" Willing to fight! Shame on the Snow Lord! ”
When Qianshun looked at it, it was the two leaders in the imperial archery camp, with visible shooting and invisible projection, and the archery was the best. Qianshun couldn't help but be happy in his heart, and secretly thought: "The Zhejia general is really famous, brave and invincible, although he can't stay in close combat, but if he tries the archery with it, I think those barbarians will not be able to defeat my party men!" ”
immediately ordered to pour three cups of imperial wine for each of the two sect heads, and behaved as a strong man. But the two sect leaders excused themselves and said, "How can the ministers be rewarded for their lack of merit? The wine is here, and after the young general's arrows in front of the formation crush the enemy's edge, come and get it again! ”
Qianshun was overjoyed and said: "Strong! So he saw the second general flying out of the field, rushed out of the formation, and loudly challenged the archery skills to Liangshan's side, but it was far away, and he couldn't see the details of the arrow clearly.
Suddenly heard the two armies in front of them, shouting and cheering loudly, like the tide of the angry sea. In a moment, the tide rises and falls, one disappears and the other grows, and this long and the other disappears, shaking the valley. After hearing an earth-shattering shout, all the armies were silent, and then the bell rang on the horse, and a horse came to the dust, and immediately the man turned over and rolled under the horse, shouting: "Long live my lord, the big thing is not good!" The two sect leaders came out to challenge each other, and the two who came out of the Liangshan Ming Sect called Xiao Li Guanghuarong and Xiao Yangyouji Pang Wanchun were all good skills - the two sect leaders were defeated and were martyred! ”
Qianshun shouted: "Kill me angrily!" Looking at the jade cup on the table next to him, the wine is still warm. Qian Shunxin said: "The fighting generals are invincible, the fighting soldiers are invincible, and the fighting arrows are invincible!" Under the three defeats, my morale in Daxia has declined! ”
Knowing that he couldn't please today, Qianshun gritted his teeth and endured his anger, and ordered the withdrawal of the team to return to the army.
After retreating for 20 miles, Qianshun set up camp. Who wants to be in the middle of the night, but heard the shouting outside the village to kill the sky, the three armies of the Western Xia army all rose, only said that Liangshan Ximenqing came to rob the camp, so the fire was like a star, just waiting to fight. Unexpectedly, although the gongs and drums shouted loudly in the dark, it was dry thunder and no rain, and there was no soldier or horse. After a long time of disturbance, the military voices were silent, and the Western Xia soldiers looked at each other, so they had to throw away their hands, turn their heads and go back to sleep.
Fang entered the haze, but did not guard against the outside of the village and beat gongs and drums, shouting to kill the sky, the Western Xia army rose up again, ready to give the enemy a head-on attack, only to find that they were still chasing after the wind and shadows.
Overnight, Ximenqing sent people to harass him six or seven times, and the Xixia army was frustrated and exhausted from the top to the small soldiers. Although Qianshun hated the root of his teeth, he was afraid that Ximen Qing would play the trick of nine falsehoods and one reality, and the morale of the Xixia army at this time was low and he might not be able to resist it, so as soon as the sky was bright, he hurriedly demolished and retreated for thirty miles.
Chong'an Golden Tent, Qianshun gathered the crowd, and saw that the ministers and others were all in high spirits, Qianshun said angrily: "Victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, why do you follow the woman's posture of crying and mourning?" Heaven helps the self-helpers, if they can't rise up from defeat and are discouraged, how can Bishamen bother to protect our army? ”
When the ministers of Western Xia heard this, their spirits perked up, but they heard a person outside the tent cheering: "Well said! Then a man entered with his head in and saluted Qianshun.
Qianshun was overjoyed: "It turned out that the royal sister had arrived!" ”
Qianshun's sister-in-law, the eldest princess Li Huamei, often went out with her grandmother Empress Dowager Liang since she was a child, and liked to wear red clothes when she was in battle, rode a party horse, and held a bow with her arms, so that the Xia people swords, vertically and horizontally plugged on, rarely met opponents, and people gave the nickname "Xiang Scarlet Tiger", which was the old enemy of the Fold family will Fold the family and Fold the Meifeng, Fold the Meiluan.
Li Huamei asked: "The little sister escorted the grain and grass to the party, and when she was about to come to hand over the order, she heard the imperial brother say that victory and defeat are common things in soldiers-isn't the former enemy unfavorable?" ”
Qianshun said: "Bishamen wanted to test the morale of the army, so the former enemy was defeated and broke his spirit. "Talking about the three defeats.
Li Huamei smiled when she heard this: "There is such a thing? Liang Shan and Mingjiao have such heroes, but I want to meet them for a while-just enough to settle old scores with those two girls of the Zhe family! ”
So at dawn on the second day, Li Huamei led her own team of Hu Cong, all of them were beautiful women with red makeup, and the thirteen flying horses went straight to the city of Fuzhou. Halfway to Jianning Fort, I saw that there were already soldiers and horses stationed here, but I couldn't get through.
Previously, Li Jingsi invaded on a large scale, and the generals of the Zhejia family were alone, so they could only concentrate their forces to defend Fuzhou, and had to abandon all the villages outside the city. Now Ximen Qing led the coalition army to come, full of wings, Ximen Qing then used a suspicious military strategy, harassed overnight, and the soldiers retreated fifty miles without blood, and the fortresses were re-garrisoned, and the Xixia reimagined that it was as free to crisscross the Linfu Road as before, but it was not so convenient.
Seeing that she couldn't go to Fuzhou, Li Huamei became angry, so she stepped forward and called out: "Song will listen, go out quickly, and fight with this princess!" "This is exactly what it is:
Yesterday Fang defeated the strong enemy, and now I see red makeup again. But I don't know what will happen next, and listen to the next breakdown.
