Chapter 378: Capture the Flag and Reverse the Situation!
As soon as the howl and chaos in the west came out of the sound of fighting in the sky, a cavalry rushed towards the position of the Chinese army like sharp arrows.
Behind them, followed by a large group of routed soldiers, like sheep that had been dismantled, driven by the "shepherds", they jumped in a panic and rushed directly towards the military formation.
In the direction pointed by the cavalry soldiers, Dongfang Ping, who was sitting on the middle platform to supervise the battle, instantly condensed, not afraid of rejecting joy.
The other party finally couldn't help but kill it!
As long as you come out of the turtle shell, you can't help it!
He immediately ordered in a deep voice, "Whole the army!" Meet the enemy! ”
The cavalry charging at high speed came in an instant, and in front of the Chinese army, the siege soldiers who had just been rotated had not had time to rest, and were suddenly hit by the cavalry, almost rushing away.
Then Xia Yunfei led the team, and he didn't stop at all, the gun came out like a dragon, and Chen Fugui and the others beside him instantly tore a road.
The cavalry behind them was directly on the horse, with the inertia of the horse rushing forward with all its strength on the blade, stained with immortality and wounded, and rushed straight towards the Chinese army in the midst of flesh and blood flying and howling.
The rebels' military formation, with the Swift Army, that is, the local garrison of Swift Prefecture in front, and they were also the main force of this siege with the infantry army as the main force.
After them, there were the elite cavalry of the Eastern Road Border Army, and these were also Dongfang Ping's descendants.
At this moment, seeing that Xia Yunfei led the team and crushed the infantry formation guarding the front, the Swift Prefecture cavalry, which was urgently assembled, rushed but also resolutely met it.
A Swift Army general looked at Xia Yunfei, sneered, waved the big knife in his hand, and swung it down.
This is his best move, and he doesn't know how many opponents he has killed here, but he is willing to have one more today.
The knife took advantage of the momentum, carrying its own good weight, and fell heavily, making people feel a kind of despair that could not be resisted, but a hand stretched out suddenly, and just held it, holding it firmly.
Xia Yunfei's expression was grim, and he looked at the terrified cavalry general on the east side of the road, and pulled it violently.
The man only felt a huge force attacking, the long knife was out of his hand in an instant, Xia Yunfei grabbed the long knife, and in the gallop, he cut off the neck of the cavalry general.
The man clutched his neck and fell off the horse in disbelief, but Xia Yunfei didn't have any emotional fluctuations, holding the long knife and throwing it forward, and the big knife that shot out like a sharp arrow directly pierced the body of a Swift State cavalry.
Then he stabbed his spear in his hand, and with the help of his horse, he directly knocked down several swift cavalry.
In an instant, there were already several dead souls, and they were simply fierce.
But this rush made Xia Yunfei's figure excessively exposed to the enemy, and among the equally battle-hardened cavalry on the opposite side, countless people immediately surrounded him from the front and back, left and right, vowing to catch this big fish.
Fortunately, there are also Chen Fugui and Lu Yi.
The two good players in the rivers and lakes, after coming into contact with the battle formation fighting skills of the Wudang Army in the past few days, are also growing rapidly.
The spear in his hand no longer danced with bells and whistles, only the basic movements of stabbing, picking, collapsing, and sweeping remained, but such movements were used by men with high martial arts like them, and they were much more ruthless than ordinary sergeants.
The spear borrowed the momentum of the horse, like two swimming dragons, and instantly opened a road, leading everyone to follow Xia Yunfei's steps.
The elite cavalry behind them, although they did not have such amazing martial arts and kung fu, but the practical combat skills and skillful cooperation they had practiced under the long-term battle formation charge were not bad at all.
What's more, although the blades in their hands and the armor on their bodies look no different from the past, the effect of using them is very amazing.
Occasionally, they were the ones who won the battle, and sometimes they were able to cut off the enemy's sword.
And other people's swords finally broke through the obstacles, and when they slashed at them, the attacks that would have left injuries no matter how could have been basically blocked by the armor.
The opponent lost his life in the confusion, and his own side was demoralized, and under the strength of the other, the team rushed forward more and more, approaching more and more towards Dongfang Ping's location.
However, although the Swift Army is vulnerable, the elite of the East Road Border Army led by Dongfang Ping is still very capable of fighting.
If there is no army in the team, most of them can be suppressed, but now there are many sergeants from the two armies of Yulin and Huben, both in terms of skill and cooperation, and the combat power is still inevitably much less.
Even with Xia Yunfei's courageous charge, and more than 100 elites of the Wudang Army opened the way, under the entanglement of the cavalry of the East Road Border Army that kept coming up, the speed of the team slowed down after all.
Charging with fewer cavalry is fatal if it is slow.
Xia Yunfei's spear broke away from an enemy, turned his head to look behind him, and then glanced at Dongfang Pinghe, who was guarded by layers of sergeants, and constantly gathered cavalry, pulled the horse's head, and decisively broke through horizontally to the west.
thought that Xia Yunfei would move forward with an indomitable flank cavalry group, but he was suddenly stabbed in the waist and in the eye, and was scattered when he landed, Xia Yunfei's pressure dropped sharply, and he rushed out with the team first.
Dongfang Ping calmly looked at the cavalry team and said in a deep voice: "Leave them!" ”
The orders were handed down layer by layer, and the cavalry swarmed upward, chasing the two thousand troops.
On the other side, the Swift Army's infantry formation, which had been scattered by Xia Yunfei's troops, had just been reintegrated, and the defeated soldiers in the west were driven over by the remaining cavalry, and once again dispersed the Swift Army's infantry formation, which had only been trampled and ravaged again.
Quietly, the north gate of Changshan County opened, and a group of well-fed, well-recharged, and well-recharged infantry troops rushed out quickly in a neat line, cooperating with the cavalry, steadily harvesting the heads of the defeated soldiers of the Swift Army.
Dongfang Ping naturally noticed this, but he was unmoved at all.
As long as Xia Yunfei's cavalry is taken, these infantry are just lambs to be slaughtered.
What's more, the dead were all the Swift Army, not his descendants of the border army, who originally planned to be cannon fodder.
At this moment, the harder the infantry who thought they were in power, the farther away from the city, the tighter the death rope around their necks.
His eyes were always firmly fixed on Xia Yunfei, who was fleeing westward, and if he was taken, the Wolf Tooth Prefecture would be decided!
At that time, he will be able to have the foundation of a great cause across the two states of Wolf Tooth and Swift!
He looked at the sky, and his eyes flashed past his mother's bleak and lonely years, and the first half of his own cautious life, and the flame of revenge burned fiercely in his heart.
Xia Yunfei didn't know those thoughts in Dongfang Ping's heart at the moment, he just calmly and skillfully controlled the horse, led the team to quietly cross a semicircle, and then unconsciously adjusted the direction, and slammed into a team of pursuing cavalry.
easily fought through the past, jumped out of the encirclement that the other party was about to form, and walked away.
Seeing this scene from afar, the corners of Dongfang Ping's mouth quietly evoked a dangerous smile.
On the city wall, there was a big battle, and everyone who had suffered heavy losses also tried their best to support the city wall and get up, nervously paying attention to the battle situation off the field.
Looking from the high city wall, I saw that Xia Yunfei, who had just jumped out of the encirclement, and the people behind him had actually fallen into a larger encirclement.
The one who formed this encirclement was the 10,000 Beiliang Iron Cavalry!
Murong Hu sat on horseback and pointed at the young general who was like a mad tiger not far away with his horsewhip, "Is this person Jiang Yuhu's new favorite general?" ”
The guards on the side immediately nodded, "Yes, Jiang Yuhu attaches great importance to him, in just one year, he has already been a lieutenant colonel in the Wudang Army, and later entered Beijing after making great contributions." Moreover, this person is also the righteous brother of the Empress Dowager of the Southern Dynasty and the cousin of the hot Jianning Marquis of the Southern Dynasty. ”
Murong Hu smiled proudly when he heard this, "The big fish sent to the door, how can you be worthy of yourself if you don't eat it!" ”
He raised his arms and shouted, "Sons, it's time to eat!" ”
The sergeant behind him hurriedly waved the order flag in his hand, and when the surrounding Beiliang cavalry saw this, they roared and surrounded the cavalry led by Xia Yunfei.
Murong Hu smiled and looked at Xia Yunfei, who was leading the troops and running wildly, as if he had seen the grassland, the people, the beauties and treasures that His Majesty had rewarded him.
But just as his heart was filled with those beautiful fantasies, Xia Yunfei's shadow in his eyes became bigger and bigger.
The smile on the corner of his mouth slowly froze, he looked at Xia Yunfei, who was speeding up suddenly, and a thought came to his mind that he felt bold: This kid didn't come for me in the first place, right?
The Northern Liang cavalry thought that this would be a cat-and-mouse slaughter like in the past, but who expected that this mouse not only did not panic and scurry around, but rushed towards them.
A small cavalry general of the Northern Liang who faced Xia Yunfei was not afraid, with the usual contempt for the soldiers of the Southern Dynasties, he quickly took out the bow and arrow, and with the speed of the hand he had practiced since childhood, he took the arrow, but in his pupils, a sharp arrow had already broken through the wind, like a lightning bolt hitting his eyebrows.
The other party, much faster and faster than him!
Behind that sharp arrow, there was a rain of arrows falling from the sky, which fell on the body of the Northern Liang cavalry.
Except for the more than 100 absolute elites in front, the arrows of the people in the rear were almost inaccurate.
But an arrow is an arrow after all, and no one will watch it fall from the sky without subconsciously dodging, but it is this dodge that makes the other party deceive and enter a big section.
At this time, the Northern Liang cavalry who reacted used the cavalry they were good at.
The feather arrows roared, and with the blessing of skillful riding and archery skills, the arrows of the Great Xia cavalry who were constantly rushing forward even directly hit the vital point and fell off the horse, but Xia Yunfei's charge did not delay for half a minute.
He lay on his horse's back, raised a small shield in his left hand to protect the vital point, and stared at Murong Hu, who was already not far from him.
Whether it's his constant movement or the feint attack in front, it's all for the man in front of him!
Kill him, and the Northern Liang army collapsed.
As soon as the Northern Liang Army fell, the Eastern Front Frontier Army and the Swift Army lost their hearts, and this battle could really achieve the effect of deterring the enemy and buying time for their own side as Erlang said.
The most important thing is that Dongfang Ping and Murong Hu are two, and only Murong Hu will lead the troops to battle.
Dongfang Ping couldn't kill it at all.
Xia Yunfei's target at the beginning was him, the general of the Northern Liang Harrier Eagle Cavalry, an important member of the Murong family, one of the seven surnames of the Northern Liang, and the specific executor of the strategy of going south to the Northern Liang this time, Murong Hu!
Breaking through the encirclement of the Northern Liang Army, Chen Fugui and Lu Yi almost rounded the spears in their hands and swept out to both sides, instantly emptying a way out in the middle.
Xia Yunfei urged the horses wildly, and his speed skyrocketed again, and the whole person was almost standing on the horse's back on the stirrup, and the spear in his hand was stabbed straight forward.
The spear pierced through the three people one after another under the strong inertia, and Xia Yunfei, who was castrating, grabbed a spear casually and pierced the throat of a Northern Liang cavalryman again.
It seemed like a long time, but it was almost a few breaths away.
At this moment, he is only more than ten steps away from Murong Hu!
Murong Hu's expression changed suddenly, he saw the devouring spirit of the fierce tiger on the battlefield from Xia Yunfei's body, and from Xia Yunfei's expression, he saw the determination and madness of today's killing.
He coaxed.
I have such a huge advantage, I have a bad brain to fight with you to the death.
As for the glory of the Northern Liang warriors, it is all to fool the big soldiers below, I have this status, as for it?
He had a plan in mind, and was about to turn around and run away, when a loud shout rang in his ears.
"Jiang Yuhu is here, don't be caught yet!"
Jiang Yuhu!
These three words were like a heavy hammer, knocking his brain into a daze!
No, how could Jiang Yuhu be here!
He quickly reacted, but it was too late.
At that moment of being stunned, Xia Yunfei flew out directly from the horse's back, pulled out a knife from behind his waist, and swung it down violently with the sound of the wind.
The snow and cold light reflected in Murong Hu's eyes, and the last scene he saw in his life was Xia Yunfei's figure in the sky.
Yunfei, Yunfei, can you really fly?
A head flew up, and the headless body fell silently to the ground.
Xia Yunfei took advantage of the situation to snatch Murong Hu's horse and held his head high, "Murong Hu is dead!" ”
Chen Fugui and Lu Yi rushed to the horse.
After receiving Xia Jingyun's personal order, Chen Fugui, who must protect Xia Yunfei's thoughtfulness, saw Xia Yunfei flying out, and was so anxious that he was like a mad tiger, and directly abandoned the spear and held a hundred steel knives.
Lu Yi, who was slightly inferior in martial arts, shot like a spirit snake spitting out a letter, accurately and cold-bloodedly hitting the throat of the rebels.
Seeing that Xia Yunfei had succeeded, Chen Fuize immediately stepped forward and slashed the stupid Northern Liang Palm Standard-bearer, cutting off the wolf head of the Northern Liang Army, and shouting, "Murong Hu is dead!" ”
The cavalry team behind the three of them was also rushing forward, and the Northern Liang troops around them were surrounded more and more, and these Northern Liang people, who were not low in individual combat ability, made their team suffer huge losses immediately.
If it weren't for the presence or absence of sergeants in the army, trying their best to restrain the formation, I am afraid that this newly formed team would face the fate of being slaughtered one by one after collapsing.
Just when they were on the verge of collapse, and when the string was about to break, there was a roar like a fairy sound in their ears.
So, they all shouted in unison, "Murong Hu is dead!" The North Liang has been defeated! ”
On the city wall, Xiao Fengshan and Zhang Hutou couldn't help but beat the wall with joy, and then immediately ordered everyone to shout.
"Murong Hu is dead! The North Liang has been defeated! ”
The soldiers and civilians on the walls shouted, the five thousand foot soldiers who were pushing back the rebel positions shouted, and the thousand cavalry who drove the defeated troops to reap the heads shouted.
On the battlefield, it was full of news of Murong Hu's death and the defeat of Beiliang.
Regardless of whether it was true or not, the generals and soldiers still made their own choices the moment they heard the news.
Those who turned around and fled, those who ran towards Changshan County to surrender, those who held their positions and continued to fight, the originally neat rebel army formation instantly made a pot of porridge.
And the Northern Liang Iron Cavalry, who was still showing off his might before, turned his head to see the wolf's head falling, and saw Murong Hu's head being carried in the hands of the Southern Dynasty general, and fled silently.
Dongfang Ping listened to the shouts on the battlefield in astonishment, watching the movements of the Northern Liang Army, unable to believe what was happening in front of him.
However, the situation is already forcing him to make a choice immediately.
"Your Highness! Withdraw your troops! ”
"Your Highness, Ma Zijin has already led people to the imperial court, we can't delay it any longer!"
Dongfang Ping took a deep look at this Changshan county town that was blocking his great cause, and he knew that if he retreated, he would never have such a good opportunity to move forward again.
This retreat may be the beginning of his failure in life.
At this time, he couldn't help but start to doubt his decision, if he had bypassed Changshan County in the first place, would there have been better results?
"Nope! There are still 10,000 elite cavalry under Lone's men, and it is not a problem to clean up these 3,000 cavalry! The advantage is still there! ”
"Your Highness, take a look."
Dongfang Ping turned his head and looked around, and the faces of the soldiers had lost the slightest sense of war.
The dignified general of the Northern Liang cavalry was beheaded like this, and the Northern Liang cavalry has fled, as the general who leads the troops all the year round, Dongfang Ping knows that the military heart has been lost, and he can't force it to come.
"Your Highness?!"
In the urging of his henchmen, Dongfang Ping's eyes as he looked at Changshan County were full of reluctance and regret.
"Withdraw."
——
On the same day, in the morning of Zhongjing City, the Great Xia Dynasty Meeting was held as scheduled.
The Northern Liang mission, under the leadership of Honglu Siqing, slowly walked into the palace.
Xue Wenlu strotted high, full of confidence. (End of chapter)
