182, three hundred (down)
While the Western Xia people were chasing the Dahua team non-stop, Wu Zheng, the supreme commander of the team, also issued an order to march quickly, but the huge number of refugees could not be banned like soldiers, they dragged their families and mouths, wrapped in large bags and small bags, and marched very slowly, and sometimes the team had to stop and let those old, weak, sick and disabled rest, otherwise these people would not be able to keep up with the pace of the advance of the large army. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
A group of young men and women shuttled among the refugees, cheering up the tired refugees, helping them carry things, taking care of the old and the young, hoping to rely on their own ability to help these people at the same time, they could slightly increase the speed of the team, after all, time was really too tight.
These young men were all nominally disciples of Wu Zheng. On the way west, Wu Zheng opened a lecture hall similar to imparting knowledge in the Supreme Gang, and when the news spread, only one person came to participate at first, and slowly more and more people came to learn, not because they were studious, but because they heard that the food served here was better than outside.
Although there are not too many restrictions on gender, age, and origin, not everyone can come in here, only those who meet Wu Zheng's conditions can enter the lecture hall to study, and they are also responsible for passing on what is said here to the outside and to everyone around them.
The content of the lecture hall was not much, Wu Zheng did not teach too many things such as Gewu and arithmetic, he focused on the course of enlightening people's minds, telling them what is the nation and what is the great righteousness. Tell them why they are suffering so much, where the roots are, and where the way out is. Let them think for themselves and experience for themselves.
The students engaged in a fierce debate about what Wu Zheng said, some thought that what he said was a great rebellion, some thought that what he said hit the nail on the head, and the two sides did not give in to each other, while the initiator sat on the side and watched indifferently. In the end, everyone put all the contradictions and questions in front of Wu Zheng and asked him to give a reasonable explanation.
"Your question boils down to one thing: what kind of existence should man be in this heaven and earth?" Wu Zheng stood up and walked in front of everyone, "Here, people are divided into three, six, nine and other classes, there are high-ranking emperors, and there are lowly beggars, their identities are very different, so is the essence of their own human beings also very different?" ”
His eyes swept over everyone, and Wu Zheng continued: "There is no difference between people, people are equal!" There was a buzz from the crowd, "The emperor is a man, and so are the beggars." The Great Chinese are people, the Jin people are also people, and the Tangut people are also people...... All are the same! ”
Wu Zheng waved his hand and refused a person's question, he said: "Maybe what I am saying now seems very rebellious to you, if it was in peacetime, maybe I would have been captured and beheaded by the official army." But I'm here to remind you...... Now is the time when the country is about to be destroyed, now is the time when we are hunted down and killed by the Tangut people behind us, and now is not the time to discuss whether what I say is evil! ”
"When your relatives were killed by the enemy, your king didn't care at all, and he was busy negotiating with the Jin soldiers to keep his throne, is such a king worthy of your support?" There was silence under the podium, and all eyes were on Wu Zheng.
"The king of Dahua cannot represent this country, let alone this nation, he can only represent himself. Are you willing to die for such a person? To sacrifice? Anyway, I don't want to! ”
"Our nation is not an incompetent, cowardly, lowly people! We have an advanced and developed civilization, we have a glorious history, we have a rich and beautiful land, and our nation cannot and will not be destroyed by those foreign barbarian fellows. It is not terrible to destroy the country, but it is the real sorrow to be exterminated by others! I will not allow such a nation with thousands of years of brilliant civilization to be annihilated in the long river of history, and I am sure that you will not either. ”
"There must be a lot of people here who don't understand what I'm saying, and that's okay, as long as you think that decades, centuries, or even thousands of years from now, our descendants will see this difficult part of our history, and see that we are proud and proud of what we have done for the nation."
"My fate, your fate, the fate of all people here are in your own hands. Don't abandon, don't give up, believe in yourself, believe in the people around you, we will be able to get through! ”
Silently reciting Wu Zheng's words in his heart, Li Derong picked up an old man on his back and strode after the team in front of him. He and a dozen like-minded partners were Wu Zheng's most loyal supporters, and they secretly formed a small club, hoping to carry forward Wu Zheng's theories and thoughts.
Under their call, some enthusiastic young people joined their team to help others, these people have basically listened to Wu Zheng's lectures, in their minds, Wu Zheng is already similar to the role of a thought teacher, Wu Zheng's words and deeds have influenced them, Wu Zheng's beautiful new world is also deeply imprinted in their respective minds, becoming their most beautiful dream every night.
Despite everyone's best efforts to move forward, various measures were implemented, but the results were not satisfactory. The latest battle report brought back by the scouts showed that the Tanguts were less than a day's way from the team, and the Tibetan army tower ahead was still two days away.
……
Although the Western Xia general A Luoyue issued an order not to rest and the whole army marched, there were limits to people and horses, and the state was not good, and the combat effectiveness was naturally not high, and he had led the troops for many years, of course he understood this truth. So when the scout reported to him that the Dahua team was very close, he decisively gave the order to rest, recuperating and preparing to take down the Dahua team in one fell swoop tomorrow.
But on this night, the unexpected happened.
During a nap, Luo Yue was awakened by the shouting and killing outside the tent, he jumped up and grabbed his saber and rushed out of the tent. Enemy attack! ”
Shocked, Luo Yue saw that not far away there were seven or eight soldiers besieging a black-clothed and masked man, who was holding a long sword and moving left and right in the encirclement, and the blade of the sword flashed and there were bound to be casualties. A Luo Yue had heard that Dahua had a person who was good at swords, fists and feet, and he must have been the person in front of him.
"Shoot him! Shoot him! Luo Yue shouted loudly, and soon a soldier with a crossbow rushed over, and the man also knew that the crossbow was powerful, and he was eager to get out and leave, but the soldiers around him couldn't leave, brush, brush, brush! Several bolts flew out, piercing him to death.
Seeing that there was still chaos around him, Luo Yue knew that this was not the only one who was attacking, and he loudly ordered his soldiers to surround these sneak attackers and never let one go.
Suddenly, a soldier next to him fell to the ground with a muffled sound, and A Luoyue was shocked, and instinctively rolled on the spot, and the bun on the top of his head was cut off by a flashing blade! He looked behind him in horror to see a man standing in the flickering firelight, her eyes and the dagger in her hand glittering with the same cold light.
Luo Yue, who was dismantled in a cloak, roared and swung his knife at the man, the other party easily dodged, she went around behind A Luo Yue, the dagger in her right hand stabbed at the back of his heart, A Luo Yue is also a battle-hardened person, he clenched the handle of the knife with both hands and turned sharply, a long saber with the light of the knife and the strong wind from the lower right to the enemy behind him, that fierce force can completely split her in half!
The black figure rolled backwards in evasion, the blade almost touching the tip of her nose. After landing, she half-squatted on the ground, snorted coldly in her nose, and then jumped into the air, and several ups and downs disappeared.
Luo Yue frowned as the mysterious man disappeared into the darkness, he knew that the other party chose to flee because he was afraid of the large number of crossbowmen surging behind him, and if he continued to fight her alone, he was afraid that he would die under her dagger in the next round.
Suddenly feeling a hot sensation coming from his back, Aro knew that the man's dagger just now still cut his flesh. After a while, a shrill whistle was heard in the air, and several black shadows in the camp fled quickly, leaving the soldiers who were chasing them far behind.
The pain in his back gradually became numb, and Luo Yue's face changed slightly, and he urgently recruited a military doctor to see that the wound on his back had become black. Sure enough, the dagger was fed with poison, and after cutting the flesh and bleeding, although most of the poison was gone, Luo Yue still fainted.
"It doesn't matter if you don't kill the enemy general, you've done a good job, wife!" Wu Zheng hugged Ding Yueming, who was dressed in black in front of him, and comforted.
"I almost killed him!" Ding Yueming sighed lightly, "This time, we have killed a lot of people...... Wu Zheng looked at the clothes on her chest that were cut by the knife and shook her head, and said: "You have done a good job, those people will not die in vain, you have successfully delayed their progress, you have bought us precious time, you are all heroes!" ”
Moving his gaze to the map, Wu Zheng said in a deep voice: "Next, it's up to us!" ”
……
The drums of war were beating, the sound of killing shook the sky, and the tide of soldiers representing the two countries under the city of Qinzhou violently collided together, and blood surged and life disappeared.
The Northwest Army, which returned to the northwest garrison from Beijing, under the command of General Chonglao, began a campaign to regain the lost territory, and the first thing to bear the brunt of was to relieve the siege of Qinzhou City, which was not very difficult for the Northwest Army of nearly 200,000 to deal with the 50,000 Western Xia troops besieging the city.
Unexpectedly, the Western Xia Army did not choose to escape in the face of the Northwest Army, which was several times its size, as before, but put on a posture of a frontal decisive battle, which made the old general feel a little puzzled.
In the information sent back by hundreds of scouts, the old general did not see any clues of the Tangut people trying to surround the point and send reinforcements, and it was obvious that there were only these 50,000 enemy troops here. So, early the next morning, the order to attack was conveyed.
The battle did not last long, the Western Xia army and the Dahua army fought for about a stick of incense before there were signs of rout, the old general naturally did not want to miss the excellent opportunity to eat this elite of the enemy army, if this team can be eaten smoothly, the Western Xia people will definitely be a lot of peace, and the northwest will also be peaceful for several years.
However, in the process of pursuit, Dahua's cavalry was heavily shelled by the Western Xia "Poxi" army, and this miniature catapult called "Whirlwind Cannon" tied to camels caused a large number of casualties to Dahua's cavalry. The Northwest Army has not found an effective way to deal with this, so that once it encounters the Poxi Army, it can only flee in the wilderness.
Faced with this situation, the old general decisively ordered the pursuit to be stopped, and the whole army went into the city to rest.
The city gate opened, and it was not the familiar old city guard Feng Dunian who came out to greet him, but a lieutenant general named Jia Luo. After inquiring, he learned that the old city guard was sick and was lying at home, and the old general knew that Feng Du was old and frail, so he didn't go to investigate.
The long procession marched towards the city one after another, and halfway through the procession, the empty streets and the slightly unnatural look of the guards made the old general suspicious, and he wanted to call the lieutenant named Jialuo to come and ask questions, but found that this person had disappeared.
Not good! Hit the trick!
The old general, who was about to give the order to stop the advance, suddenly found that a large number of Western Xia ambush soldiers appeared on street corners, rooftops, and city towers, and rockets, crossbows, and whirlwind cannons fell on the Dahua soldiers like a torrential rain! Panic, fear, and confusion spread through the ranks, and the frightened front army frantically retreated and collided with the rear army that did not know why they continued to advance, causing uncontrollable chaos.
Under the rain of enemy arrows and trampling on each other, the Dahua army suffered heavy casualties, and the old general withdrew from Qinzhou City with great effort under the escort of soldiers, and outside the city, the 50,000 Western Xia troops who had just retreated had already completed the formation, and the horn of the charge sounded in the air......
……
The dry branches crackled in the raging flames, and Wu Zheng stood in front of a team of more than 300 people and briefly introduced the current situation.
"The extremely narrow canyon ahead, known by the locals as 'no light', is the only road leading to the Tibetan military tower, and the cliffs on both sides are hundreds of feet high and extremely steep and difficult to climb. Therefore, tomorrow we will meet the 2,000 Western Xia pursuers there, and I will fight side by side with you, living and dying together! Pointing to the towering canyon lurking in the darkness behind him, Wu Zheng said.
In front of the fire, more than 300 people stood upright, all of them looked at the young leader in front of them, and the nearly a month of getting along made them clearly know that this young man named Wu Zheng was a person who valued love and righteousness and kept his promises, and no one doubted his words of fighting side by side, living and dying together.
Wu Zheng continued: "Some of you may be thinking, how can we defeat the other party's two thousand with only 300 people? If we face the enemy head-on, we naturally have no chance of winning, but if we rely on this natural risk, I think there is no problem at all! However, there are no absolutes in everything, and in tomorrow's battle, the greatest test for us will not come from the enemy, but from ourselves! ”
"Each of us must have the belief in victory, the desire for victory, and the absolute trust in our companions is our magic weapon to win, without these, even with this natural danger we cannot win! Because tomorrow all of us will be twisted into a rope and become an inseparable whole, an indestructible copper wall! No one is allowed to hold everyone back, including myself! As long as everyone does this, the enemy will fall under our shields and swords! ”
"If there are still people who are lucky in tomorrow's battle and think that they can take advantage of the chaos to escape, I can tell you now not to have such illusions, because the Tibetan military tower behind us is a dead place with no way out! If this battle is lost, all that awaits us is death, a painful death after being humiliated and tortured by the enemy! Wu Zheng pointed to the camp where the refugees lived not far away, "Not only us, but these refugees who have followed us all the way and regarded us as their last hope will also be killed by the enemy, can you bear to see this scene?" ”
"I don't want to!" Neat shouts rang out in the crowd.
Wu Zheng shouted loudly: "Okay! Tomorrow, we will make the enemy regret coming here, and tomorrow, we will bury them all here! Not a single one to stay! ”
"Kill!" The earth-shattering roar echoed in the night sky.
……
The Western Xia general A Luo Yue, who was wrapped in a thick bandage on his chest, rode on his horse, and there was a slight feeling of dizziness on his head, two days ago, the sneak attack of the Dahua made him unconscious for a whole day and a night, which seriously affected the speed of the team's progress, but fortunately, the other party did not escape too far, and this **** finally led the team to see the Dahua deserter team.
In the middle of the two towering and steep canyons, a sheep intestine trail extended into the canyon, and on this path where only more than 100 people could stand side by side, the Dahua deserters of more than 300 people stood in a trapezoidal shape, and more than 100 huge shields stood in front of them, and in the gap between the shields, countless sharp spears rushed straight ahead.
The wind blew in front of this team wrapped in yellow sand, and everyone did not move, and the entire array was like a solidified piece of iron blocking the path of the Western Xia army's advance.
Ah Luo tilted his head and looked at the Dahua army formation opposite, and a disdainful snort came from his nose: "Do they think that by choking this traffic artery, they can resist our attack?" It's ridiculous! Liu Shuo on the side said: "But general, the terrain here is too narrow, our cavalry can't be used, and the superiority in strength can't be reflected at all...... Otherwise, the subordinates will go to meet that Cao He first, and if we can persuade him to surrender, we can save a lot of effort. ”
A Luo Yue waved his hand: "His crime of sneaking up on our military camp and robbing our grain and grass is unforgivable, even if he wants to surrender, I will not allow it!" And I speculate that they are no more than a few hundred at most, so there is no cause for concern. Although the terrain here is a little unfavorable for our cavalry, I don't think there is any need for cavalry at all, and a few rounds of crossbow arrows will be enough for them, and when the time comes, the infantry will definitely be defeated if they press on it! Liu Shuo smiled and flattered: "The general is wise!" ”
Wu Zheng, who was standing in the center of the array, had been paying close attention to the enemy situation on the opposite side, and when he found that the enemy's cavalry and infantry were retreating, he keenly felt that the other party seemed to be preparing to use a bow and crossbow against him, so he immediately ordered in a loud voice: "Form a tortoiseshell formation!" ”
When the rain of arrows fell from the black pressure, Dahua's team had already curled up together, and nearly three hundred shields of different sizes were densely combined, as if a sturdy turtle shell was blocking countless sharp arrows from the outside.
The Western Xia army shot three rounds of arrow rain, but the damage to the Dahua army was extremely limited, when A Luo Yue's face turned from disdain to annoyance, he seemed to hear the laughter of the Dahua people faintly coming from the opposite side, they were actually laughing at themselves! These damned, damned Chinese people!
"Liu Shuo!"
Hearing A Luo Yue calling his name, Liu Shuo's body trembled slightly, and he probably thought of A Luo Yue's intentions.
"You, rush over with your men and kill them all!" A Luo Yue's order did not carry the slightest emotion, and he would not feel any distress about these Dahua's surrendered troops, even if they were all dead.
It is not uncommon to let the surrendered troops take the lead in the charge, and it is a very common tactic in warfare, on the one hand, it can test whether the surrendered troops are sincere and at the same time destroy the morale of the enemy, and on the other hand, it can save their own strength, which is a way to kill two birds with one stone.
Liu Shuo had already been mentally prepared for this, he knew that he would not be able to escape this time no matter what, behind him was the cold gaze of the Western Xia soldiers, once they found that someone dared to retreat or escape, the steel knife in their hands would not hesitate to slash at the other party!
Although he was unwilling to fight with his compatriots, Liu Shuo had no choice at this time, and from the moment he surrendered to Western Xia, he knew that he would one day fight with his compatriots, and now in order to survive, he decided to send these three hundred compatriots on the road.
"Listen to orders! Infantry charge! Liu Shuo waved his sword, and the soldiers around him poured into this narrow and abnormal passage like a tide, and the most crowded place didn't even have room to turn around.
When the array was rearranged, Wu Zheng squeezed to the front row, and he clenched the long-standing muzzle in his hand and shouted: "All steady!" Don't move! At the same moment, the sound of chaotic footsteps and shouts of slaughter echoed back and forth over the walls of the canyon, a deafening sound as an oppressive tidal wave.
"Rush forward! They only had three hundred! Knock them all into the air! Liu Shuo drove the team in front of him with red eyes, and behind him was the Western Xia military superintendent team that was slowly moving forward and marching step by step.
The rumbling footsteps were amplified several times under the effect of the echo, and the charge of more than 2,000 people in front of him seemed to be as earth-shattering as tens of thousands, and Wu Zheng, who was standing in the crowd, still calmly shouted: "Steady!" ”
Although there was some nervousness, no one panicked, and no one was afraid to retreat, everyone knew that they had become an integral part of the whole, and if they escaped, the enemy would break through the entire defense line from their position, they would kill everyone, and they would become the one who would never be forgiven.
It's close, it's close!
Faces with similar characteristics on the opposite side, enemies who were once compatriots or even comrades-in-arms had rushed in front of them, and everyone held their breath and waited for Wu Zheng's next command, they were ready for battle.
"Steady!"
As soon as this order was given, the rapidly charging enemy army had already slammed into the team's shield, and with a bang, everyone's bodies leaned backwards violently under the action of the opponent's huge impact, and this force was like a huge crashing wood smashing their bodies, which was a huge force that made people feel desperate!
"Steady! Steady! Steady! ”
Wu Zheng and the soldiers around him shared the shield on their shoulders, and on the other side of the shield were the Dahua soldiers with teeth and claws, if it weren't for the huge shield, their swords could directly cross the shield and cut Wu Zheng's head.
Under the thrust of the opponent's 2,000 people, the entire array began to slowly retreat backwards, this was not Wu Zheng and they were retreating, but being pushed backwards by the enemy, they stood firmly with their feet on the ground and cut the sand, and the bodies of some soldiers almost formed a 45-degree angle with the ground!
It's time! Feeling that the opponent's strength began to weaken gradually, Wu Zheng knew that the enemy's "one drum" had come to an end, so it was time for us to start acting with "waiting for work"!
"All of them! Push! ”
"Push!"
Three hundred people chanted this word in unison, their movements were equally neat and powerful, and every step was accompanied by a powerful slogan, and they forcefully pushed the black and crushed enemy in front of them backwards by five or six paces! Subsequently, they heard the long-awaited instructions.
"Shock! Kill! ”
The two commands are issued at the same time, which is actually a coherent action. The people standing in the front row holding the shields were carefully selected and strong soldiers, and they shook the shields violently with all their strength, and when the enemy was shaken two or three paces away, the gun-wielding soldiers standing in the second row had already stabbed the spears in their hands violently, and at this time they didn't care whether they would stab the enemy, because the enemies on the opposite side were almost huddled together and there was no room to dodge.
Screams and blood erupted in an instant, and when the blood-stained spears were withdrawn, the enemies who had stepped over the corpses charged at them again, but what awaited them was a sturdy shield array that had been rearranged and orderly. Subsequently, in Wu Zheng's "Shock! Kill! In the middle of this, the scene that made the enemy frightened just now was staged again!
Seeing that his soldiers were actually blocked by hundreds of people, Liu Shuo was a little incredulous, and when the screams of his soldiers reached his ears, he realized that his more than 2,000 people were actually repelled by these hundreds of people!
The frightened soldiers who were killed had collapsed like a tide, and the Dahua soldiers who were originally stuck behind the shield came out of the battle, chasing and killing, many people killed and even laughed wildly, this was the first time they experienced the thrill of winning more with less, they found their dignity and glory as warriors, and they even felt that they were invincible at this moment!
Wu Zheng still kept a cool enough head during the charge, he looked up to the top of the canyon on the right, where he arranged a signal soldier holding a small flag, this agile signal soldier will use the hand flag that Wu Zheng taught him to use the hand flag for the modern army to convey the signal of the enemy's movements, after all, if you grasp the dynamics of the enemy army, you will master the method of victory!
Seeing the herald waving the small flag quickly, Wu Zheng narrowed his eyes, and then ordered loudly: "All return to their positions, the enemy is coming!" The military order was like a mountain, everyone gave up and continued to pursue the enemy, and quickly returned to their original positions, and the neat formation once again appeared in front of the enemy.
However, this time it was not Liu Shuo's surrender army that rushed up, but the cavalry with billowing dust!
Before half a pillar of incense, seeing that two thousand people were repelled by hundreds of people, Ah Luo Yue angrily ordered his subordinates to kill more than a hundred deserters in a company, and he angrily reprimanded Liu Shuo, who was pale beside him: "A bunch of waste! After that, he decided to personally lead the cavalry to break through the defense line of these hundreds of people, he did not believe that these infantry could withstand the onslaught of the cavalry!
"When my cavalry breaks through the opponent's formation, you will lead your men to completely wipe them out, and more than 500 soldiers under my command will also help you! Remember, this is your last chance, and if anyone dares to escape, I'm the only one to ask! Before Ah Luoyue charged, he threw the ugly words in front of Liu Shuo, even if such an incompetent team was taken in, it would be a group of rice bucket waste who only knew how to eat, what was the use of keeping it?
Liu Shuo nodded again and again, how could he not know the meaning of A Luo Yue's words, those five hundred Xixia Bu Bazi were simply used to supervise themselves, once they had any trouble, these Bu Bazi would get rid of themselves in the first time!
Liu Shuo's cavalry is only more than 300 people, and in terms of combat ability and individual soldier quality, it naturally cannot be compared with the elite iron harriers of Western Xia, but now they can only make do with it first. With this in mind, A Luo Yue commanded this cavalry of more than 300 people to launch a fierce charge against the Dahua army on the opposite side.
It's finally here!
When A Luoyue's cavalry was still dozens of feet away from the team, Wu Zheng in the crowd suddenly shouted: "All of them!" Listen to me! Scatter! As soon as the words fell, everyone acted quickly, and the formation that had been gathered together suddenly separated from the middle, forming two independent parts, and the people of these two parts were all close to the cliff behind them, and at the same time half-crouched down to block their bodies with shields. In this way, the road leading to the Tibetan military tower was given up by them.
Riding on horseback and waving a knife to charge, Luo Yue suddenly found that his eyes suddenly opened up, and a road appeared in front of him, and those Dahua soldiers who had originally stuck to the road actually cowered on both sides, what was going on? Didn't they want to stop us from moving forward? Why did you suddenly get out of the way?
Wrong!
A Luo Yue had an extremely ominous feeling in his heart, and he yelled: "Stop, stop all!" "But it was too late.
The horses that were already in a state of rapid running could not stop in time, and the inertia of rushing forward still carried the cavalry of Luo Yue to rush over, they passed through Wu Zheng's team from the middle of the road, and the next moment as many as dozens of tripwires in front of them lifted them off their horses, and when these cavalrymen who were smashed to pieces got up from the ground with a disgraced face, the soldiers of Dahua were waving their knives and slashing at them!
Ah Luo Yue picked up his saber and rushed into the crowd, he wanted to vent his anger on these damn Chinese people, but strangely no one wanted to fight against him, and many people immediately turned away when they saw him, and rushed to the next target. He wandered through the chaotic crowd without encountering a single opponent, until a young man in light armor stood in front of him.
"Who are you? Cao He? A Luo Yue glared and shouted, but then remembered that Liu Shuo told him that Cao He was a man in his forties, and the young man in front of him was only seventeen or eighteen years old, so it could never be Cao He, could it be that the deputy general Gao Sheng?
The young man didn't say a word, he looked at A Luo Yue with cold eyes and asked, "You are the leader of these people?" A Luo Yue said proudly: "I am A Luo Yue, the deputy general of the Western Road Expeditionary Army, and you hundreds of people still don't surrender quickly?" Before his words fell, the young man on the opposite side suddenly moved, his incomparably fast speed shocked Luo Yue, A Luo Yue only felt that his eyes were a flower, and the next moment, he saw his feet!
Wu Zheng shook off the blood on his long sword, and the Western Xia general named A Luo Yue behind him slowly collapsed, and the red stream that erupted from his neck stained the ground under his feet.
Seeing the signal soldier waving a small flag on the cliff again, Wu Zheng knew that the final charge of the Xixia people had arrived, but fortunately, the enemy's cavalry had almost been killed at this moment, and no one showed mercy to these surrendered Chinese, even if the other party had knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, he was still resolutely executed.
Liu Shuo took the remaining more than 1,000 people and the 500 Western Xia Buzi who "assisted" him behind him and launched a final charge forward. Just now he saw from a distance that Luo Yue led the cavalry to rush through the opponent's defense line, although he didn't understand why the other party would take the initiative to give way, but he didn't dare to disobey Luo Yue's order, and now it was time for him to play again.
"What's that? Is it a horse? As he marched, someone shouted. Liu Shuo rode on horseback and saw it more clearly, in the distance, hundreds of horses with their tails on fire and smoke rushed towards this side frantically, these frightened, unrestrained horses didn't care what was in front of them, and the burning pain from their tails made them completely fall into madness!
The soldiers who were charging quickly were stunned by the scene in front of them, and they didn't know who shouted: "Run, the horse is frightened!" The crowd immediately turned around and fled, Liu Shuo was knocked off his horse by the panicked retreating crowd, and the angry scolding of the Xixia people behind him came, and some of the killed people let out the last screams.
It's messed up, it's all messed up!
Liu Shuo got up, in front of him was a large number of soldiers who were rammed and trampled by horses, and there was a brief tinnitus in his ears, he looked to the other side, and the desperate Dahua soldiers were already red-eyed, and they fought with the Xixia Governor team,
Finding his saber, Liu Shuo picked it up and held it in his hand, surrounded by an extremely chaotic scene, galloping horses, panicked subordinates, and angry scolding the Western Xia soldiers wielding knives...... And beyond these is the approaching Dahua "deserters".
Now, this team can no longer be called a "deserter", Liu Shuo, who has been in the army all the year round, fully believes that this team can definitely be called "elite", and the leader who commands this team can be called a "peerless general"!
Cao He...... Or Gao Sheng, they are so powerful, why didn't they find out in the first place?
He tried to stand up, but found that his legs had been broken, he crawled for a distance, there were dead bodies everywhere, and finally he stopped on the side of the road and shouted the names of Cao He and Gao Sheng hoarsely, and it didn't take long for him to be surrounded by Dahua's soldiers, of course, not his men, but Wu Zheng's.
"I'm Liu Shuo, ask your General Cao to come and see me!" Liu Shuo gasped, but the people around him were indifferent, they all looked at him with cold eyes, as if they were looking at a stray dog that was about to die.
"Cao He is dead, and General Gao has also died heroically, oh, I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Wu Zheng, and I am currently the leader of this team. Liu Shuo, is there anything else you want to say before you die? ”
The crowd automatically parted, and a young man covered in blood walked in, and he stood in front of Liu Shuo, the long sword in his hand was covered with blood.
Liu Shuo's eyes widened, and then he laughed, and said while laughing: "Sure enough, it's not Cao He, how can that guy be so powerful!" Hehehe, hahaha! ”
In this battle, the Western Xia pursuers were almost completely annihilated, the enemy generals A Luoyue and Liu Shuo were beheaded, 1,677 people were killed, 848 people surrendered and captured, and only a few escaped, and these people told everyone they met about the battle.
As a result, the team stationed in the Tibetan military building, which was once a Dahua deserter, has become a legend in the world, and in this era of stormy meetings, such a force with strong combat effectiveness has immediately become the target of all forces...... Exterminate!
But no matter what kind of opponent this team will face, one thing is certain, they will not let the other side take advantage of anything, this is a wolf who will tear a piece of meat from the enemy even if he dies, a fierce wolf who does not admit defeat!
……
At sunset, the group rode their horses to the front of this canyon called "No Light", which is the only passage leading to the Tibetan military tower. Outside the canyon there were seven or eight temples built with human heads, and after three months, these heads had dried up and withered, but people could still seem to hear the terrible screams coming from the open mouths of these heads.
Under the leadership of the guide, Yan Chong arrived here day and night, he came this time on the order of his father to visit the leader here, I heard that this person's surname is Wu, a strong man in his thirties. Three months ago, this person led a mere hundred people to defeat the tens of thousands of Western Xia pursuers who came to chase and kill them, and he was really a hero in the world!
With curiosity and reverence, Yan Chong handed the post of coming to visit the guards guarding the entrance of the canyon, he believed that the other party would not refuse him casually, after all, everyone is a big Chinese, and he is from the famous Zhong family in the northwest, the other party will not give face, and the Tangut people are also everyone's common enemy, they have no reason to refuse themselves. In addition, he also brought a piece of news: in order to unite the Western Xia against Dajin, the Emperor of the Great Liao will escort Princess Ping'an, who is going to marry the Western Xia King Li Qianshun, to Xingqing Mansion, the capital of the Western Xia, in the next few days.
This is great news, if this Liaoxia marriage can be destroyed, the two sides will definitely turn against each other to attack each other, so as to achieve the goal of containing the Western Xia people, and give the Northwest Army, which suffered heavy losses a few months ago, time to recuperate. And the purpose of his trip is to unite this team that calls itself the "Supreme Army" and rob the princess of Liao together.
Anxiously waiting for a cup of tea, the other party's reply was transmitted back from the Tibetan military building: No!
