Chapter 142: The Battle of Dahengshan (9)
After fleeing for more than 1,000 meters, the remaining remnants of the army happened to meet the main cavalry force under the command of Li Chengxun. After a member of the committee came forward to inquire about the situation, he made a report to Li Chengxun.
Li Chengxun heard the report of the partial general, "There are at least 30,000 Great Song Iron Cavalry blocking the way in front, and the combat strength of this group of cavalry is amazing, and even the warriors of the 500 Golden People are not their opponents." Their Western Xia cavalry fought with them, and they were even more powerless to fight back."
Li Chengxun said: "It seems that the young man surnamed Zhao has long prevented us from killing back the gun." When we move, people move, they are familiar with the terrain and can take shortcuts, but we still stupidly think that others don't know. Cease! Cease! Cease! We are blocked in this narrow valley, as long as there is a block on both sides, we have no way to go to the sky, no way to enter the ground, only a desperate battle, in the name of the whole British. ”
The general said: "It's better to let the last general guard here with five thousand cavalry, King Jin, you take the main force and kill back, their main force is in front, even if there are some cavalry behind, it won't be too much, right?" ”
"They waited until we got to this area, they didn't want to give us any chance to escape. The same heavy troops came from behind. Let's go, let's have a big battle between soldiers and generals, and the best place for generals is to die on the battlefield before they die. ”
So Li Chengxun asked the troops to stop, and with the help of two generals, he stood on horseback and said to more than 30,000 soldiers: "Brothers, we are now in a desperate situation, and we are heavily guarded by the Song Dynasty in front and behind. Only by fighting to the death and dying like a true hero can we be worthy of every brother who sacrificed his life to cover us. Now I commanded all of them to cheer up, drink enough water if they were thirsty, chew some raw food when they were hungry, feed their horses with excess grain and grass, and then throw away all the other things on their bodies, even if it was gold or silver, and we would not need it. In a word, keep your stamina, travel lightly, kill more enemies, and never die! ”
Li Chengxun's impassioned words aroused the fighting spirit of all the soldiers, and they rushed forward with murderous spirit......
A thousand meters behind them, Zhao Chongyang, Chong Shizhong, Fang Tianjie, Chong Mingshan, Chong Mingshui and others led 40,000 cavalry to follow without delay, of course, 20,000 were broadsword teams trained with the elite of the Chongjia army.
Let's say that Li Chengxun walked a short distance with more than 36,000 horses, and saw Shi Wengong and others waiting in front.
Seeing that the main master was finally here, Shi Wengong arched his arch and shouted loudly: "King Li Jin, I respect you as a good man, and give you a chance to fight a fair duel." One is the fighting general, you have a few generals, we also have a few generals, everyone fights fairly. The second is that you send thousands of soldiers, and I also send thousands of soldiers, and everyone fights one-on-one. If there is a scuffle, you will suffer even more if there are fewer of you, what do you think? ”
Li Chengxun ordered everyone to stop, thinking in his heart: "We will definitely suffer in the melee, and the people behind them will soon surround us, so we will suffer from the enemy on our backs." Since you're going to pretend to be a hero, I'll fulfill you. Thinking of this, I agreed to the other party's proposal. So both sides agreed to retreat 100 paces each, with the middle 500 paces as the battlefield for the two sides to fight.
The first game, the fighter. Li Chengxun sent four generals with high martial arts skills to the field. There is one person who makes an iron hammer, one person who makes a mountain axe, one person who makes a mace, and one person who makes a big knife, all of which are heavy weapons, which shows that the four of them are indeed strong and have strong combat power.
Here, Shi Wengong was about to arrange for four generals to go up to engage in the battle, and the Yao family army and the Zhe family each rushed out with two horses. Shi Wengong took a fixed look, and it was the two brothers Wu Jue and Wu Lan who rushed out of the Yao family's army, and the two brothers who rushed out of the Zhejia army were Zhe Ke and Zhe Da Niu. Wu Yu caught the one who made the mountain master, and Wu Lu caught the one who made the big knife. Folded big oxen catch the hammer, fold can catch the mace.
The Wu brothers used guns, and the head of the gun was given to the two by Zhao Chong himself. The two brothers are extraordinary, and their martial arts are on par with Zhao Chongyang's Shi Jin, Shi Xiu, and Sun Li. And Wu Jue is very smart and good at playing to his strengths. When the two of them rushed out, he said to his younger brother that the martial arts of those four people are on a par with ours, and if we want to win as soon as possible, we can deliberately show their flaws and let their weapons be examined on us, and it will not be a big problem for us to have steel armor to protect us. When the time comes, find the opportunity to strike a fatal blow, and it will definitely succeed. Wu Xuan said yes.
Wu Jue fought for seven or eight rounds with the enemy general who made the mountain axe, and sure enough, the two were evenly matched, and no one took advantage. So Wu Jue began to slow down, pretending to be weak, and blocked left and right a few times. The other party suddenly sped up the pace, and when Wu Jue's gun was not withdrawn in time, his legs were clamped, and the war horse did not retreat but advanced, and the axe drew an arc in front of the right, and quickly swept towards Wu Jue's chest.
Wu Jue hurriedly leaned back, and the mountain axe slashed across the steel armor on his chest, drawing a spark. "Ahh Wu Jue pretended to be seriously injured, let out a miserable scream, and fled back to the horse while lying on horseback. So that the enemy general who opened the mountain axe did not know what the plan was, and chased after the horse. Seeing that he was about to catch up, when he raised an axe to cut people, suddenly Wu Jue's body leaned back on the horse's back, his left hand pulled the reins of the horse, and the spear in his right hand was sent diagonally behind.
When Wu Jue pulled the reins in his left hand, his horse suddenly stopped, and the enemy general's horse was still rushing forward. When Wu Jue stabbed his spear at the enemy diagonally behind, he couldn't reach the enemy general. But Wu Jue had stopped moving, and the enemy general's body was still rushing forward under the drive of the horse, as if he was deliberately trying to see if someone else's spear was not sharp. Because the gun head sent by Zhao Chongyang was made of stainless steel, the armor on the enemy general's body was like a paper shell, and it was pierced by Wu Jue's gun on the spot.
Seeing that his brother had succeeded in deceiving, Wu Phosphorus immediately revealed a flaw and asked the enemy to cut off the knife on his head. He tilted his head slightly, and the knife slid down the edge of the steel helmet, and although his head shook a little, it was fine. When the enemy's broadsword struck him, thinking that he had succeeded and let his guard down, he shot the enemy general off his horse.
The Wu brothers performed one after another, arousing the fighting spirit of the two folds. What a smart person Zhi Ke is, knowing that the two of them won by fraud with the super protection of their armor. And the knife in his hand is a treasure sword, and the armor on his body is steel armor, wouldn't it be easier to win. At first, he was afraid that he would cut the knife short, and tried not to fight the enemy general, but now, he tried to see if the treasure knife in his hand could really cut gold and jade. So, swinging away the enemy general's mace, it was also that trick to split Huashan, and slashed at the enemy general's head with all his might! Of course, the enemy general Li Chengyong knew the power of this move, and with both hands, he raised the king and used the middle of the mace to pick up this move.
Boom! A crisp metal cracking sound rang out. With one move, the mace was cut off by a steel knife, and Li Chengyong's head was cut in half.
Among several people, on bravery, when the number of big bulls, his strength itself surpassed the opponent, seeing that the other three had won, he couldn't help but arouse his competitive spirit, a knife faster than the knife, and the enemy will be tired of coping. Seeing a flaw, he used the knife as a gun, stabbed through the gap between the enemy's two hammers, and the tip of the knife penetrated the opponent's armor, pierced the heart, and killed the Western Xia general on the spot.
For more than 20 minutes, none of the four generals of the Western Xia survived, and the Western Army of the Great Song Dynasty defeated the Western Xia 4-0.
Li Chengxun really felt very sad in his heart: "Once upon a time, my generals in Western Xia were so poor? ”
Next, Li Chengxun sent another 3,000 cavalry. Folding can and wanting to fold the family army, but was stopped by Shi Wengong. In the end, the broadsword team, the Zhejia army, and the Yao family army each sent 1,000 cavalry. When arraying, the broadsword team is in the front and rear, and the Yao family army and the Zhejia army are in the middle, so that the casualties of the Yao family army and the Zhejia army can be minimized.
A cavalry-versus-cavalry match has begun! The cavalry on both sides collided with each other, fighting to the death. The broadsword team again accounted for the sharpness of the steel knife and the tenacity of the armor, and did not need to defend and attacked with all their might. undertook most of the attack tasks, reducing the pressure on the Yao family army and the Zhi family.
You see, in the battle, the cavalry of the Yao family army was not the opponent of the Western Xia soldier, and he was about to be injured by the opponent's sword. Another broadsword soldier slashed his opponent with a single sword, and when he saw that the Yao family soldier next to him was about to be picked off his horse, he immediately slashed it with his own knife, cutting off the enemy sergeant's spear at once, and the Yao family soldier who had picked up a life took the opportunity to kill the enemy soldier.
This was an unfair confrontation match, more than forty minutes later, the battle was fast, the Western Xia army had been completely killed, and the Song army only sacrificed 310 people, with a nearly 10 to 1 victory rate.
can't just admit it, Li Chengxun carefully selected 3,000 strong people to come out again. Who knew that this time the loss was even worse, and the Song army only sacrificed 200 people.
Li Chengxun was completely speechless this time, the only remaining more than 30,000 horses in Western Xia lost two battles in a row, and only the last 30,000 horses remained, and they didn't even have a chance to fight hard. It's really a dilemma, I really want to die, but now I have the life and death of 30,000 soldiers on my shoulders, and I must make proper arrangements for their future, otherwise I will die without knowing it.
Just when Li Chengxun was at a loss, Zhou Tong and Zhao Chongyang's master and apprentice came to Shi Wengong's side. I only heard Zhao Chongyang say: "King Li Jin, let's give you and the soldiers another chance." I ordered the soldiers to dismount and accept the surrender, and I promised not to kill innocents indiscriminately, but only let them go and let me herd the horses or do other things, and have enough food and clothing during their work. After ten years, let them go home and reunite with their families. The two of us have a fair duel, you win, let you go. You lose, leave your life behind. ”
