Chapter 461: Flying Locusts Like Rain
"Renjie, why are you pressing him?"
Gao Yu saw that Hu Yanzhuo was gone, so he asked Li Kui in a low voice, in the face of his good brother, Gao Yu has always known that Li Kui is not a little stronger than him, if he really encounters something that he can't grasp, just ask Li Kui.
"Cheng Zhijie has no plans to live in the northwest for a long time, he is here to find military merits, not to work hard for military functions. Therefore, once the military merits are enough, he will find a way to leave the Yanyan Road, or even the northwest. ”
According to the selection of the commander-in-chief of the Great Song army, an army of several thousand people will not be under the care of the Privy Council.
Once Cheng Zhijie leaves, then the person who will take over Cheng Zhijie's position as the main general is likely to be found among his subordinates. If Cheng Zhijie didn't get enough military merits, he naturally didn't have to worry. Because his subordinates also have no military merits, they can't be promoted. But in case he got enough military merit, and left the northwest, the Tiger battalion that left.
Then Li Yun and Hu Yanzhuo have become opponents in the competition for the main general.
Although Li Yun is a martial champion, his time in the army is too short. Compared with Hu Yanzhuo, his chances of competing for the main general in the army are still not as good as Hu Yanzhuo. After the famous general, in the Great Song Dynasty, there are many benefits. First of all, after the hero is a big advantage; Secondly, for the ministers of the court, it is also a great advantage for the generals to understand the rules.
In contrast, Li Yun really has no advantage at all compared with Hu Yanzhuo.
Although military merit has a lot to do with it, it does not mean that after this battle, Hu Yanzhuo will not get any military merit.
Since Li Yun couldn't compete with Hu Yanzhuo, he simply let Gao Yu fight.
Gao Yu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he also felt a rare opportunity, if he really sat in the position of the main general, as long as he didn't make a big mistake and didn't lose his life on the battlefield, in the next few years, it would become the best opportunity for him to jump up. However, at the moment, Gao Yu's biggest problem is not that he doesn't know how to judge the situation, but that he is confident, as soon as he put on a fierce posture, he immediately became confused, looked at Li Kui nervously and asked: "Renjie, can I really succeed?" ”
Li Kui is so angry!
Li Yun can't help him, Gao Yu has the relationship with the emperor, he is a close minister of the Son of Heaven, and the benefits of being close to the water and the platform, he can't do without it. What's more, compared with Gao Yu and Li Yun, they are no different, they are both their own brothers. And Gao Yu's character, not to mention political enemies, when the means are not very bright, but to friends, it is the kind that really digs out his heart and lungs.
"If it weren't for Hu Yanzhuo's untrustworthiness, do you think I would have gone to such great lengths to help you?" Li Kui was also out of line, and in a blink of an eye, he thought of a humane: "If you really think it can't be done, forget it, I'll go to Zhang Chuan after this battle, his father will definitely be interested." ”
"Don't, Renjie, I was wrong, I was really wrong."
Gao Yu twisted and suddenly realized that he was on the battlefield, and then he realized it and said: "Renjie, don't worry, I just risked my life and didn't let others go." ”
After speaking, he walked towards the left flank, and while walking in the formation, he shouted: "Cheer me up, kill a party member and go back to lead the army, so that you can have a good New Year!" ”
Whether Gao Yu deliberately said this in a relaxed tone, or was really moved by Li Kui's words in his heart, this product finally gave people a different feeling.
The party army is several times larger than the Song army, and it will definitely not be willing to let the Song army gain a firm foothold under their noses, and the attack just now is just a test of the cavalry.
For the party army, the next battle is the real battle.
As far as Li Kui's battle is concerned, Liang Yishu didn't see any danger anyway, but the big cars that stopped in front of the formation were really an eyesore, but no matter how eye-catching, they couldn't stop the iron hooves of his tens of thousands of troops.
"False Qiman, you take a certain team of 10,000 people to supervise the battle, and you must take the Song army before noon."
"Honorable Order!"
Seeing this scene, Yeli Mengdo tightened the reins in his hand, and Liang Yishu used Yeli's soldiers and horses to test the Song army, but used his own subordinates to command the fiercest attack on the Song army. This is clearly shameless. Ye Limondo even hoped in his heart that the Song army would be able to deal a big blow to him, and even let him lose his troops and lose his generals, so that he could be comfortable.
"The armies listened to the order, with 3,000 people as the offensive echelon, took turns to fight, and broke through the Song army's vehicle formation before noon to destroy the Song army!"
"The general, please give the order!"
"Argan, you take the lead in attacking with deployment!"
The moment the flag fell, the Western Xia army truly showed the fierceness of the grassland army. Even before the battle, the soldiers discarded anything that prevented them from killing, water bladders, empty quivers, etc., all in order to facilitate their killing. In contrast, the reaction of the Song army was much simpler, but on the surface, the Song army seemed to show signs of shrinking its wings.
This did not attract the attention of the party members.
Rush!
Rumble!
The neat war horse sprinted, like an avalanche, and the momentum hit the highest point in an extreme time. Yan Qiman also knew that continuing to shoot with archery might have an effect, and for a long time, such as two days, or even a little longer, the casualties of the Song army would reach the zero threshold, and the Song army could be taken without cavalry rushing.
But firstly, it will take time, and secondly, they simply don't have enough bows and arrows.
Even the Iron Harrier doesn't have enough arrows, let alone cavalry tactics?
The Western Xia are not Song people, the Song people have money, and the northwest has let the Western Xia rob it for fifty years, and every time they enter the city of the Song people, they can make the party soldiers have the illusion of coming to heaven.
Iron hooves galloped, at first it was just a line, and slowly turned into a hideous face, Hu Yanzhuo stood at the front of the defense line, this is a place that is easy to hang up by accident.
But he didn't have much resentment, at least at the moment when the party cavalry charged, all the resentment disappeared. He even secretly wanted to compete with Li Kui, Li Kui could do it, and he could do it. Although Hu Yanzhuo has not really experienced the tragedy of the battle in the river valley, he has heard a lot. Li Kui angrily slashed the war horse in front of the formation, blocking the gap like a god descending from the earth.
Hu Yanzhuo did not doubt these. There are only 1,000 infantry, but they have to face 3,000 cavalry, a huge disadvantage in terms of troops, and a crushing force in terms of troops.
Li Kui can do it, Hu Yanzhuo asked himself that he is no worse than Li Kui, he can also do it.
"Raise your shield!"
Less than a hundred paces, Hu Yanzhuo immediately ordered the soldiers to raise their shields to guard against the cavalry of the party members.
But after the party members rushed to fifty steps, he felt puzzled.
Wait any longer, the faces of the party members will be pasted, hulala, and the crossbowmen will press forward under Li Kui's order. Seeing this, Hu Yanzhuo blushed slightly, and scolded in his heart: "It's careless." ”
"Raise your gun."
If he had been a little slower, Hu Yanzhuo would have made a big mistake, but fortunately, he finally reacted. It's just that Li Kui has already sent Ruan Xiaoer to rush to his side, and roared angrily in Li Kui's tone: "My lord asked you, why are you stunned on the battlefield!" ”
As Ruan Xiaoer spoke, he held a strong bow in the army, which seemed to be a heavy bow of one stone, and said a few words, shooting an arrow as if nothing was happening, and every time an unlucky egg was shot by Ruan Xiaoer, this kid had a lot of fun.
The corners of Hu Yanzhuo's mouth twitched, what an unbeaten boy, if he met him in the alleys of the capital, he would have to beat him out of breath.
But on the battlefield, Hu Yanzhuo didn't dare to get distracted at all, and shouted at Ruan Xiaoer with his big iron gun: "I am in front of the battle, if the party members step through the defense line, the first person to die is Taiyuan Hu Yanzhuo." ”
As he spoke, he sprang out, jumped into the cart, and with a thrust stabbed the party cavalry approaching the cart from his horse.
Seeing this, Ruan Xiaoer became a little suspicious, pondering: "This thing seems to be going to beat someone." ”
After the two armies came into contact, the first thing Hu Yanzhuo was wary of was that the iron claws of the party cavalry hooked the carriage and pulled it with the strength of the war horse. The cart crossed the cavalry's sprinting path, and the only way to do it was to pull the cart away. There is no need to pull the cart, as long as the planks on the carriage of the cart are broken, and after the height is lowered, the war horse can rush onto the cart with speed and physical strength.
After the first tiger claw was thrown on the carriage with a lasso, Hu Yanzhuo became nervous, cut the rope of the iron claw, and ordered the crossbowmen to take care of the cavalry with the lasso.
"Crossbowmen ascend, archers shoot!"
The sound of buzzing bowstrings, like summer bugs, always inadvertently reminds people of their presence. The party cavalry was blocked two feet away from the defensive line, and the scimitars in their hands could not cut the Song army, but they were shot down by crossbowmen from their horses like dumplings in the water.
Seeing that the battle entered a stalemate, the advantage of the war horse was completely lost.
General Dang Xiang looked at the fewer and fewer soldiers, his heart was full of grief, and he roared angrily: "Retreat! ”
Back and forth, there were more than 1,000 casualties. This made Argan's heart almost bleed, and he was more angry, and the anger of wanting to kill all the Song army spread in his heart.
A second wave of cavalry quickly plugged the gap.
The onslaught was launched, and the battle was as similar as ever, but it was still impossible to overcome the Song army's defensive line. What made the party members even more desperate was that the Song army seemed to be becoming more and more skilled in the battle, and there were fewer and fewer mistakes in cooperation, as if they were one.
Even a bow and crossbow commander like Nian Xi smiled and said to Li Kui: "My lord, it's too enjoyable, we have four more bow and crossbow commanders, and when the battlefield is shot, as long as the bowstring sounds, the party members will fall like snowflakes." As long as it continues a few times, the boss of this party is afraid that he will cry out in distress. ”
The war went smoothly, and the Song army was naturally relaxed.
The party members charged twice, but a layer of corpses had fallen in front of the battle, and countless casualties were inflicted. If it continues, the casualties of the party members will reach an unbearable level. Compared to the attack, even the siege cannot be done.
Seeing that victory seemed to beckon, the generals were in a relaxed mood.
But Li Kui didn't see it that way, he stared at another wave of party cavalry roaring in, and threw a sentence to everyone: "Let the soldiers maintain their physical strength, and be prepared to fight hard for a day." ”
"My lord, no!"
Nian Xi was stunned: "After a hard day's fighting, what physical strength does a soldier have?" ”
However, we can't retreat, and if we retreat, the party members will definitely cover up.
