196. Fiasco
For Chong Hao, after the Western Xia army attacked the Tibetan army and fought with the black-clothed army and lost both, his Northwest Army would wipe them all out is the most ideal result. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć Although the situation in front of him is not the same as he expected before, he thinks that it will not have a big impact on the entire battle situation, and the elimination of this Western Xia army is his main goal, and the black-clothed army can be cleaned up slowly.
The ranks of 50,000 men were lined up in formations of three, four, and three, and the first three phalanxes consisted of shield soldiers, pikemen, and crossbowmen. The four phalanxes in the middle are the command center of the entire legion, and they are also where Chonghao and Chongxi are located. These four phalanxes have a wide range of arms, light cavalry, heavy cavalry, sword and axe hands, military aircraft battalions, etc., among which the pro-guard army around Chong Hao is the most powerful in combat effectiveness, and it is the elite of the army of the species. The last three phalanxes were dominated by cavalry and infantry.
When the order to attack was given, the first three phalanxes began to press on the opposite side of the Western Xia army holding behind the fortifications, and the other side did not seem to come out to meet the enemy head-on, and the "whirlwind cannons" and archers erected on the fortress launched fierce fire on the enemy troops who were pouring up like the sea.
The commander of the Western Xia army, Ye Liduluo, stood on the top of the fortress and calmly commanded the battle, and before setting out on the expedition, he had promised his Emperor His Majesty that he would definitely hold out until the last moment!
"Brush! Brush! ā
After each rain of arrows, the charging Northwest Army fell to the ground in patches like wheat blown down by the cold wind, and the soldiers behind would step over the corpses under their feet and continue to charge forward. Amid the rumbling drums from the rear, the morale-boosting Northwest Army rushed to the defensive positions of the Western Xia Army, and the two sides then engaged in a white-knuckle battle.
At this time, the combat ability of the soldiers of the two armies was immediately superior, and the Northwest Army was known as the most capable army in Dahua, but after encountering the Western Xia Army, it was only to the extent that it would not be defeated immediately, and this was still in the case of high morale. On the other hand, the Western Xia army, their fighting spirit is very high, although the number of enemies in front of them is huge, but the combat effectiveness is pitifully weak, if it were not for the rear commander did not give the order to go out to meet the enemy, they would have fought back long ago.
Therefore, when the fortress was surrounded by the Northwest Army Corps and thousands of people frantically attacked the fortress of the Western Xia Army, the interior of the Western Xia Army was not affected in any way, and various strategic movements and deployments could still be carried out in an orderly manner.
Ren Jingde did not stand in the barrier with Ye Liduluo to supervise the battle, for him it was not his job to command the battle, and it was his mission to capture Wu Zheng and rescue the princess. As for the earth-shattering shouts outside the camp, he did not feel panic or fear at all, because he was very confident in the strength of Ye Liduluo and the Western Xia army.
Poured a cup of tea for Yelu Bishu, who was like a frightened bird next to him, Ren Jingde smiled and said: "Yelu envoy don't need to panic, our Western Xia army under the command of General Ye Liduluo can completely resist the attack of the Northwest Army, come, please taste it, this is the famous tea dragon and phoenix tea from Dahua, and it is also a tribute to the emperor to drink!" What I have here is, drink as much as you want, hahaha. ā
A stiff smile erupted on Yelubishu's pale face, and he picked up the teacup and was just about to enter it, when with a "brush", a stray arrow shot into the tent, hitting the table in front of him, causing him to scream, throw away the teacup and hide behind the chair.
Ren Jingde looked at the scene just now, and his heart was full of contempt for this coward, no wonder the Liao State was beaten to the ground by the Jin State recently, and the current Liao people have been cowardly to this point? Thinking that the iron cavalry of the Liao Kingdom back then was like a world-sweeping existence, alas, it is really different from what it used to be......
As time passed, the Northwest Army outside the fortress was still unable to break through the strong defenses of the Western Xia Army under the onslaught, while the casualties were getting bigger and bigger, fatigue and disappointment began to appear in every soldier of the Northwest Army, and the morale gradually withered. At this time, the Western Xia army, which had been sticking behind the fortifications, heard their long-awaited clarion call, and their commander Yeliduro gave the order to counterattack on all fronts!
As a result, the Chonghao brothers, who were still in high spirits just now, witnessed a good show of a Jedi counterattack, but the protagonists were the Western Xia Army instead of them.
"Bastard! Why did they lose when there were more people than them! These bastards, deserters! Supervise the war, stop these deserters, and kill them all for me without sparing any of them! Chong Hao shouted angrily, and Chong Xi hurriedly stopped his brother and said, "Big brother, if you don't win a battle, you start killing your own people, which will have a greater impact on morale!" Chong Hao waved his hand breathlessly, and after a while, said, "Light cavalry! Send out all the light cavalry! Suppress them with bows and arrows, and the infantry continue to give it to me! I don't believe I can't take 10,000 people! ā
The sound of bull horns suddenly sounded in the camp of the Northwest Army, and then more than 5,000 light cavalry soldiers surrounded the barrier of the Western Xia Army in two ways, followed by more than 10,000 infantry mainly shield armor soldiers.
Ye Liduro sneered, he could see that the other party's commander was a little out of breath, he waved the order flag in his hand, and the heavy cavalry iron harriers of Western Xia surged away from the open gate, they waved the sharp scimitars in their hands, and with a beast-like cry in their mouths, they fiercely faced the cavalry of the Northwest Army and killed it!
Although the number of this cavalry was only more than 2,000 people, it was more than enough to pack up the light cavalry of the Northwest Army. The hard armor makes it impossible for arrows to penetrate easily, but the extremely sharp scimitar can easily tear through the opponent's leather armor, and the innate and innate arms collide together, and the result is hardly the slightest suspense.
More than 5,000 light cavalry suffered heavy casualties under the impact of the Western Xia Iron Harrier, leaving nearly 1,000 corpses behind them and fleeing in a hurry, leaving the unprotected infantry behind them under the iron harrier's fangs. When it came to the fat in his mouth, there was no reason not to eat it, and the general who led the Iron Harrier did not wait for the order of the commander Ye Liduro, and rushed straight forward with people, and it was another one-sided bloody massacre.
Seeing his soldiers return home with another fiasco, he trembled with great anger, and the original pride and ambition had disappeared, replaced by the frustration and irrational anger brought by defeat. He roared angrily that he would personally lead his troops to rush forward and fight the enemy to the death! Chongxi persuaded each other hard, but at the critical moment, he, who was a younger brother, was much more rational than his brother.
"More than half of the casualties, I ...... I'll go back and explain to my father! Don't stop me! If I don't win today, I will be dealt with by my father when I go back, and I won't be allowed to fight hard here! Chong Hao pushed his younger brother away, while Chong Xi hugged his waist and shouted, "Big brother, don't be impulsive!" We still have a chance now, if you, the commander, die on the battlefield, our army will definitely be defeated without a leader! ā
"Let me go!" Chong Hao struggled and shouted.
Just as the two of them were twisting together, a general ran over in a panic, with a bloody letter in his hand. The brothers stopped, and their eyes were fixed on the letter at the same time.
A thick dark cloud from the west gradually covered the head of the Northwest Army, and the sky was about to change......
