Chapter 253: A desperate fight to open the formation

"Zhizhou, there are too many enemy cavalry to break through!"

"Zhizhou, you can't get close to Baisheng Village!"

“……”

A squad of scouts returned, more than half as many.

These are the most elite cavalrymen in the army, but now they are just going to die for a piece of news.

The cavalry of the Song army was already precious, and Ji Min couldn't help but feel like a knife.

The scouts returned one after another, but the Northern Expeditionary Army was nowhere to be found.

"Who saw the Northern Expeditionary Army?"

Zhe Jizu asked.

The scouts shook their heads one after another: "Zhizhou, I started to see it, and then they disappeared." ”

The Northern Expeditionary Army disappeared? Could it be that they are lost?

Thinking of this, Zhi Jimin suddenly regretted agreeing to the Northern Expeditionary Army to go out.

This army is still a new army after all, and they are not familiar with the terrain of the northwest at all, and once they get lost, then their life and death can only be controlled by God.

"What about Qin Wei? Who saw Qin Wei? ”

The crowd shook their heads.

It's good to be able to take care of yourself on the battlefield, who would be distracted to take care of others, once you meet the enemy, it is life and death.

Ji Min's heart fell to the bottom all of a sudden.

The whole army was watching him.

Where do we go from here?

It's okay if it's all cavalry, it comes and goes like the wind.

But the foot soldiers here account for most of them, and once they are really attacked by the enemy's cavalry, the cavalry can run away, and the foot soldiers will have to be slaughtered.

Someone said: "Zhizhou, the enemy situation is unpredictable...... Our army ......"

Let's retreat!

Once the superior enemy army is encountered in the field, the Fuzhou army is really finished, not to mention that Baisheng Village cannot be saved, and even the border city of the Great Song Dynasty may be burned.

All of a sudden, all sorts of voices came.

Zhi Jimin gritted his teeth and gritted loudly, he was now worried about the safety of Qin Wei and Zhi Jizu, but what to do with the Fuzhou army, this question made him even more painful and entangled.

Abandon?

Once you give up, Yum Zhai is doomed.

The Tangut people would calmly sweep the forts on the outskirts of Fuzhou, and then cut off the grain routes of Linzhou, so as to gain the initiative.

Isn't this exactly what Li Yuanhao wants?

And judging from Qin Wei's analysis, once Western Xia gains the initiative on the border, it means that Li Yuanhao's position as the crown prince is stable.

The ripple effects will follow.

If the crown prince of Western Xia is stable, the domestic forces will naturally stabilize as well...... And after that? What will happen to the stabilized Western Xia, especially since they also took Baimu Village and cut off the grain supply of the Song army.

If it is really as Qin Wei thought, then the Hedong Road in the future will not be up to the Da Song family.

Don't give up, once you rush in, the Fuzhou army is in danger of being wiped out, and the result will be the same, or even worse.

This is where the importance of scouts comes in.

A good scout can make the difference between winning and losing a big fight.

But today, the aura of victory is obviously not on the side of the Song army.

They don't even know the number of people on the Western Xia side now, maybe Baimu Village has been defeated by the Western Xia army at this time.

"Zhizhou, if Fuzhou is lost, Linzhou can't be saved!"

Fuzhou and Linzhou are isolated outside the Yellow River, far away from the Great Song Dynasty, once lost, the Hedong Road will face the enemy's edge, and the Great Song Dynasty will be shaken.

Stay in the green mountains, don't worry about no firewood.

Just when the heavens and humans were fighting in Zhijimin's heart, someone exclaimed: "Someone is coming!" ”

Everyone was shocked and drove forward.

A group of cavalry greeted them, turned around halfway, and shouted, "It's the Northern Expedition!" ”

Zhi Jimin's heart was relieved and made a decision.

"Back to Fuzhou!"

The decision to rescue Baisheng Village was made on the basis that the scouts could find out the enemy's situation, but the scouts lost the battle...... Fortunately, however, the Northern Expeditionary Army returned.

This is also a blessing in many misfortunes.

As long as Qin Wei is still alive, there is still room for exhibitions in the affairs of Baimu Village, after all, the Northern Expeditionary Army also participated in this battle, no matter how Qin Wei cleared up the relationship, he couldn't avoid the consequences.

Zhi Jimin closed his eyes in pain, raised his head and shouted: "Go back to the teacher!" ”

It's a torturous decision, one that will even be liquidated afterwards.

But he can't risk the Fuzhou Army.

The army began to give orders, and the baggage behind them set off immediately, their speed was too slow, and they had to race against time. Otherwise, if one more delay is made, Fuzhou City will be more dangerous.

Qin Wei and Zhe Jizu approached, and Zhe Jimin said with relief: "It's good that Lord Qin is back, let's go, let's go back." ”

Qin Wei's dusty face showed doubt: "Why do you want to go back?" ”

"If we can't find out the enemy's situation, we can only retreat! If you rush forward, you will only plunge Fuzhou City into a dangerous place of ignorance! ”

Zhi Jimin explained helplessly.

Qin Wei said with a smile: "The ...... has been identified."

Uh-huh?!

The autumn wind swept over everyone's heads, and everyone stopped.

The baggage team stopped driving the ox cart and turned.

The foot soldiers stopped regrouping.

The cavalry stopped coming out of the post......

The entire Fuzhou army stopped.

Everyone looked at the Northern Expeditionary Army in disbelief.

Zhi Jimin's eyelids trembled and asked, "What did you just say?" ”

He wanted to pluck out his ears, but he didn't want to miss Qin Wei's words.

"The enemy situation has been identified."

Qin Wei is still exploring the tactics of cold weapons, but he knows the importance of morale to an army.

So he raised his voice and said, "Baisheng Village is still fighting, and the enemy army is besieging with six to seven thousand horsemen. Among them, there are more than three commanding generals, which shows that Western Xia has indeed made a big move this time, and their new crown prince Li Yuanhao is likely to be there. ”

Zhi Ji Min was stunned for a long time, gasped, and asked, "How did you find out?" ”

As soon as the words came out, he felt bored, and after seeing the confirmation of Zhe Jizu's eyes, he laughed out loud.

He laughed and kept patting Qin Wei on the shoulder.

"Good! Heroes out of teenagers! Hahahaha! ”

The entire Fuzhou army was in a state of excitement.

Hope is back! There were 6 to 7,000 enemy troops in Western Xia, but there were more than 3,000 people here in the Fuzhou army, and there were more than 1,000 people in Baishengzhai who could contain the enemy army.

The most important thing is that the Northern Expeditionary Army still has the barrel that will explode, and the bottle that will burn...... That's a big killer!

The border soldiers who have seen the power of gunpowder before, everyone is full of confidence at the moment, as long as they find out the number of opponents, plus these weapons that are almost cheating, Baisheng Village has a good chance to defend!

Otherwise, Zhi Jimin can now give the order to withdraw from the army.

If it's not a sure win, it's a close battle!

The only thing that the Great Song lacked was cavalry.

If it is really better than fighting alone, the Great Song Dynasty is not inferior to any country!

"Attack! All the army is attacking! ”

The whole army picked up speed, and when those cavalry rushed past Qin Wei's side, they couldn't help but look at him curiously, wanting to see how this young man had completed this impossible task.

Qin Wei immediately hung a cloth bag under his crotch, which was the so-called 'Molotov cocktail', and he followed closely with the Northern Expeditionary Army.

The team continued to advance, and was already met with enemy scouts ahead.

"The Fuzhou army is assaulting!"

The panicked scouts brought this bad news that frustrated the Tanguts.

The assault represents the will of the Fuzhou army.

They are desperate to rescue Baisheng Village.

The Western Xia general said angrily: "How dare he break Jimin? How dare he? ”

The crown prince Li Yuanhao said angrily: "This must be the scouts of the Song army who discovered us!" ”

"Zhi Jimin is cautious, he must not dare to take risks, yes, this must be their scouts who have discovered our numbers."

The Western Xia general sneered: "Who said that the enemy scouts couldn't see us? Kill! ”

There was a plea for mercy, and several scouts fell to the ground.

Li Yuanhao glanced at Baisheng Village regretfully, and said painfully: "Withdraw, let's go to meet Zhe Jimin!" ”

It's a failure!

What he hated most now was his previous pride.

If he had been more cautious at that time and had led people to besiege and kill the cunning Song army scouts, Zhi Jimin would never have dared to come.

"That team of Song Army scouts is very cunning and has avoided our pursuit several times, but they really couldn't see our side before, so they ...... How did they break into this side again, we didn't even find out! ”

Very dazed.

Everyone was at a loss, not knowing how the Song Army scouts had done it.

If Li Yuanhao knew that Qin Wei relied on Daniel Zhang's unique sixth sense, and the new troops of the Northern Expedition who had trained to evade camouflage, he would rather destroy the whole army than slaughter Daniel Zhang, and capture a few Northern Expedition troops by the way, so that they could explain the training method.

"Attack! Let's go and defeat the Fuzhou Army! ”

Li Yuanhao's order was given, and the enemy cavalry began to retreat, and then the whole team was formed.

He took one last look at Baisheng Village, which had survived the catastrophe, held back the depression of vomiting blood, and shouted: "Attack!" ”

He wants to undo his decision-making mistake by defeating Ji Min...... Otherwise, he will not only face the infamy of defeat, but also the obstruction and counterattack of all forces in Western Xia.

This crown prince can't sit steadily!

The sound of horses' hooves gradually faded away, and the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty in Baisheng Village were cheering.

"Reinforcements are coming!"

"We are saved!"

The Tangut would never have imagined that there would be an army in this world that would train soldiers in camouflage skills, and they would even apply a special potion on their bodies, so that even the hounds could not detect them.

Qin Wei's training method has made a meritorious service.

But what they don't know is that there are still people in this world who can use their sixth sense to perceive direction and danger.

Zhe Jimin and Qin Wei stood together, and everyone knew that it was time to go shopping.

It's a matter of success or failure!

"The enemy is coming!"

The scout Fei also galloped forward, and shouted closely: "Zhizhou, the enemy army is coming, and the number is five or six thousand." ”

Regardless of the class, it is definitely cavalry.

There is no shortage of war horses in Western Xia, and there is no shortage of soldiers who can ride horses, the tribes in these barbaric areas, they can ride horses and hunt at a very young age, and in the event of a war, even women, children, old and young can go to the battlefield to kill the enemy!

"Array! Array! ”

The Fuzhou army began to line up, and the sergeants took the opportunity to take out their water bladders and drink water.

"It's cold!"

The water in the water bladder was cold and biting, Qin Wei took a sip, feeling that it was cold from his mouth to his stomach, but he was also lifted by the cold spirit.

At this moment, he misses the tofu brain of the 'Qin Ji' restaurant very much, even if it is sweet, it is extremely delicious.

A group of black dots had already appeared in the distance, and tremors were felt on the ground.

"Enemy ......"

The last group of scouts returned, and they went around from the side.

"Array ......"

The pikemen began to line up, and behind them were sergeants armed with large axes, which was the last line of defense for the Great Song against the enemy cavalry.

Once the spear array is dispersed, then these sword and axe hands will not retreat!

The Tang Dynasty had a Mo knife, and the Great Song Dynasty had an axe.

These cold weapon era is known as the existence of killing machines, although there is no high-end technology, but they have a bravery that no army can match!

As the flag was unfurled, the enemy began to slow down.

"This is to let the war horse rest, and by the way, observe the loopholes of our army."

Zhi Jizu explained the movements of the enemy army to Ding Qin on the battlefield, and at the same time protected his safety to the greatest extent.

This is the death task assigned to him by his brother Zhe Jimin, and he almost didn't say anything like 'he can't die if you die'.

"Our army is 4,000, and the enemy army is almost in the early 5,000s, and it is still cavalry, and the enemy army is large."

This is the judgment of the ancestors.

"Crossbow!"

The crossbowmen in the back began to prepare.

The war horse was gasping, and the heavens and the earth gradually quieted down.

The autumn wind blew a piece of hay falling from Li Yuanhao's eyes, and a contest between life and death was quietly taking place.

"Zhe Jimin wants to use foot soldiers to block our army, so let them see the majesty of my Western Xia iron cavalry and give orders...... Sortie! ”

There is no strategy, both sides have set up their positions, and they can only fill with human lives.

"Heh......"

A Tangut man stood up on horseback, shaking the long knife in his hand and shouting.

It was their pre-war grandeur and a way to motivate their soldiers.

"Yo ......"

Five thousand cavalry bee chrysalis are dispatched, a real war machine, where no grass grows!

There is no end to it, so there is no need to worry about being ambushed.

There is no need to leave any reserves, and they can fight directly.

The war horse was galloping, and the cold wind was blowing on his face, but he felt that a stream of blood was rushing.

"Crossbow...... Put! ”

The sound of countless crossbow machines being pulled sounded, and a black cloud of crossbow arrows pounced over.

This is the confidence of Zhe Jimin to dare to go out of the city to rescue Baisheng Village - the new bow and crossbow brought by Qin Wei!

It's not much, but it's enough to dominate in a small war.

There was a neighing in the middle of the galloping enemy horsemen, and then the man flipped on his back.

But the vacancy that appeared was quickly filled by the back, and the cavalry array was still densely packed.

"Crossbow...... Put! ”

The camp of five hundred crossbowmen was ready to go, and the bolts were fired again.

The enemy cavalry is getting closer and closer.

Qin Wei was on the side of Zhi Jimin, watching the pikemen in front of him put the tail of the spear on the ground, leaning back slightly, and then opening his mouth......

"Archer!"

A volley of arrows flew out, and the enemy slammed into the array of spears.

With the help of the enemy's momentum, the spear easily pierced through the horses and cavalry, and then was bent by the huge inertia......

Syllable!

The sound of countless spears breaking, and almost all the pikemen in the first row were spared, and they were all knocked out by their horses.

The pikemen in the second row did not move, still being knocked into the air.

"Spear back off!"

The pikemen succeeded in slowing down the onslaught of the enemy horsemen, and as long as the speed slowed down, all that remained was a fight, and the armored soldiers fought with sharp axes!

The knife and axe chop, like chopping wood, split the head of the war horse.

The war horse jumped wildly, throwing the Xixia people on their backs, countless sharp axes were swung, and the first line was suddenly full of the neighing of war horses.

However, the strength of the human body was not enough to support the impact of the war horse, and many axe hands were knocked out. Then the sword and axe hand who swept the formation filled the position and waved the axe indifferently.

The two sides are in a stalemate, constantly using human lives to fill the void.

"The resilience of the Fuzhou army is very strong!"

The Fuzhou army had not taken the initiative to attack for a long time, and the Western Xia people had forgotten the army that had made them fearful.

Li Yuanhao looked at the stalemate in front of him, and muttered: "Zhe Jizu Min is ruthless enough, and he is not afraid of defeating his subordinates, will this Fuzhou still be the Fuzhou of the Zhe family?" ”
