Chapter 55: The Battle of Xunyang (I)
Wu Jinfan said: "Now that the arrow is ready to be fired, even if we lose more troops, we can't retreat!" ”
"But General, we've been killed and wounded a lot in the past few days!"
"I know, but now there is no other choice but to rush up, you go and prepare!"
Wu Jinfan said: "Don't worry, as long as I, Wu Jinfan, am here, Daxu will not perish!" ”
"General!! Our soldiers are getting fewer and fewer, but the enemy is getting stronger and stronger! ”
"So what?!" Wu Jinfan roared, his eyes were red, and he glared angrily.
Wu Jinfan's anger made the surrounding soldiers bow their heads in fright, and no one dared to speak.
"You all hear me clearly!"
Wu Jinfan roared: "My soldiers are never cowardly! You are all heroes of Daxu! “
"The more enemy troops, the happier I am, because these people will be a great achievement for everyone!"
"General! We heard you clearly! ”
Everyone shouted in unison, "We swear to follow the general!" ”
"Excellent! You can rest assured, as long as you can defend Xunyang and Jianzhou City, everyone's rewards will not be less! ”
"General Xie!" And they all bowed.
"That's it! Get up! You are all heroes, born and died for my Daxu, we are not ungrateful, as long as you can defend Xunyang and Jianzhou City, the people of Daxu will definitely not fail you! ”
"General Xie!" Everyone swiped their heads three times in unison.
Wu Jinfan said: "Okay! Everyone's gone! Back to the nutrients to recharge. ”
"No!"
Wu Jinfan turned around and left, leaving behind a noisy shout of killing!
........
Xunyang is not far away from Jianzhou City.
This city is a city in the south of Daxu, the most prosperous city in the south of Daxu, and it is also the closest place to Hongdu City.
On the city walls, rows of crossbowmen were ready to go.
And outside the Hongdu City, the two armies have already launched a fierce confrontation!
On one side was the elite army of Western Xia, who were outnumbered, well-equipped, and all of them were cavalry.
On the other side is Han Xiu's soldiers and horses, they are well-trained and advancedly equipped, each soldier's weapon is the sharpest short spear, in the name of the Qing monarch's side, all the way to the Hongdu City!
Under the city of Hongdu!
"Shoot the arrow!!"
"Shoot the arrows and kill the traitors!"
A thousand elite crossbowmen immediately unleash their arrows!
"Boom~!"
A huge rain of arrows has fallen!
The two sides launched a fierce offensive and defensive battle outside the city gate!
Above the city tower, Wu Jinfan was dressed in black armor and held a spear of eight snakes, staring at the two sides of the fierce battle below with a cold face, and next to him stood Zhu Wuhui and Zhang Chang.
Zhu Wuhui wore a battle robe, his posture was tall, and there was a faint smile on his face.
Zhang Chang took off his illustrious brocade clothes, and his face already showed the great change in his attitude towards Wu Jinfan brought by the war.
In these days, Zhang Chang wrote several letters to Emperor Zhang Shi.
One of the letters reads:
——————————————————
"Your Majesty, the war on the front line is becoming more and more difficult to resist, the traitors have colluded with the Western Xia, and they have already controlled the southern states, and they seem to want to take the opportunity to invade Xunyang and Jianzhou City, and they are so rampant that they want to lead the troops north to the side of the Qing monarch to maintain the peace of the dynasty."
——————————————————
After reading the letter, Zhang Shi frowned.
During this time, the rebels were raging in the Daxu Empire, which had already caused public outrage, but because of the rebellion, the people were displaced.
In the past few months, the Daxu Empire has suffered a great loss of troops, and they are all elites, all carefully selected warriors, and these people are all men who are loyal to the country.
The rebels are iron-hearted this time, and they also have the support of the lord of Western Xia.
So the war situation is extremely bad.
Wu Jinfan said in the letter that the strength of the rebels was stronger than before, which led to Daxu falling into a bitter battle.
What Wu Jinfan said, Zhang Shi might think about it, but his fifth brother also said the same?
Believe it or not is already obvious.
How exactly should we deal with the rebellion?
Zhang Shi was puzzled?
Since I ascended the throne, I have been conscientious, diligent in government, never greedy for beauty, and have been working hard to maintain the overall situation, and my new policy is also very good!
Why did it evolve this way?
But rebellion has repeatedly caused chaos, am I really too merciful?
No! I am an emperor, and it is my duty to defend this country!
These days, there has been a commotion in the court.
Zhang Shi's heart was full of questions.
No way!
I had to do something.
Zhang Shi's mind suddenly flashed such a thought,
The thought lingered in his mind for a long time.
In the end, Zhang Shi's eyes revealed a hint of perseverance.
"Spread the decree, order the general Wu Jinfan, be sure to guard Xunyang and guard Jianzhou!"
"Yes!" One of the guards agreed.
"Also, tell Wu Jinfan that I and the soldiers and people of Daxu are waiting for the news of your victory, if Aiqing can hold Jianzhou, I will definitely increase my official position and make you a king."
The guard replied again, "Yes." ”
.......
After listening to the guard's report, Wu Jinfan's eyes flashed with a hint of joy.
It's just that I didn't expect His Majesty to trust me so much!
It seems that I, Wu Jinfan, have not been messing with His Majesty for so many years in vain!
Thinking of this, Wu Jinfan shouted: "Send troops!" ”
Wu Jinfan waved his hand: "Kill!" ”
Suddenly, more than 20,000 Western Xia troops began to rush towards Xunyang!
.......
City gates.
"Da Da Da! Da-da-da-da! ”
"Poof!"
"Bang...... Bang! ”
"Bang....... Bang....... Bang! ”
On the battlefield, there was a sword and sword, and flesh and blood were flying.
Wu Jinfan took the lead, holding the Zhangba snake spear and rushing left and right, wearing heavy armor, majestic!
A soldier was knocked to the ground by him, and Wu Jinfan's eight snake spears swept violently, and the man was immediately swept to the ground!
"Ah~!"
Wu Jinfan pierced it through the chest with one shot, and his arm was forced, and he crushed it!
"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”
"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”
.......
All of a sudden, more than 20,000 Western Xia troops were like mad dogs, scurrying around outside the city.
Wu Jinfan took the lead, rushing left and right at the confrontation between the two armies, his body seemed to be a nimble viper, his body twisting in mid-air, constantly dodging enemy shots.
When an enemy attack from behind, he is like a snake, agile and swift, and stabs the man to death.
Everywhere he went, there was no enemy in the enemy, and blood splattered wherever the Zhangba snake spear in his hand pointed.
Race your way through the hordes of enemies!
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! ”
The rain of arrows around Wu Jinfan's body fell like a torrential rain.
"Whoosh~!"
"Plop! Poof! Poof! ”
Countless Western Xia soldiers were shot down in pools of blood! But they are still not afraid of death!
Zhu Wuhui and Zhang Chang at the head of the city looked at Wu Jinfan, who was killing red-eyed below, and their eyes flashed with brilliance.
"Good!" Zhang Chang couldn't help but applaud! The general is really a fierce general, and he is really brave and good at fighting!
Zhu Wuhui also nodded appreciatively.
The two glanced at each other tacitly, tacitly, this was the tacit understanding between the two of them.
"Boom!"
Another Western Xia soldier was impaled through the body by Wu Jinfan, he pulled out his spear, and streams of red blood sprayed on the ground, staining the city wall red, and the body of a Western Xia soldier rolled to the ground.
Wu Jinfan's martial arts, these veterans are obvious to all, but as long as he comes to the battle in person, he will definitely be able to win more with less and win a big victory.
And Wu Jinfan is the first fierce general of the Daxu Empire, and he is also his pride!
At this time.
"Whoosh!"
Three more arrows were shot!
Wu Jinfan was not in a hurry, jumped up, dodged the sharp arrow, and then flicked the spear, and with three sounds of "brush, brush", three feather arrows were thrown away.
"Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang! ”
Three sneak attackers were smashed and flew out.
Wu Jinfan sneered, "Hmph! The small skills of carving insects are not enough to worry about teeth. ”
"Whoosh!"
The spear flew out, taking a human head with it.
It was a one-sided massacre.
"Poof! Poof! Poof! Poof! ”
With a soft sound, a corpse lay down beside Wu Jinfan, blood dripping down his cheek.
Wu Jinfan wiped the blood from his face and continued to charge.
"Soldiers! Kill me! Kill! Kill! Wu Jinfan shouted.
"Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! ”
Roars came from the city walls.
Wu Jinfan rushed to the front, killing all the way, killing all the way!
......
Under the city of Xunyang, the bones are full of bones, and the blood is flowing like a river.
The generalissimo of Western Xia, just now, he was suppressed by Wu Jinfan's momentum.
No one has ever dared to challenge his majesty, not even His Majesty the Emperor of Daxu.
They will only bow down to themselves on their own walls, obey their own words, and never dare to disobey even the halfest.
Wu Jinfan is an exception.
Wu Jinfan is like a fierce beast, in front of him, everyone is a small ant!
His eyes were filled with bloodthirsty desire, like a wild beast, and it was intimidating.
His body was as tall as a pine, and his body exuded a smell of iron and blood.
Every step he took was stepping on the enemy's body, and the spear in his hand kept reaping the lives of his own soldiers.
"Pass the order to King Han and tell King Han to withdraw his troops first, and we will not make senseless sacrifices in Western Xia!" The generalissimo of Western Xia gritted his teeth and said.
"Yes, Marshal."
"Whoosh... Sou... Sou! Sou... Sou... Sou! ”
A few more sharp arrows flew in, but Wu Jinfan dodged in time and was not injured.
Wu Jinfan looked up and saw a thin man in black with a sinister face standing a few hundred meters away, it was the King of Han - Han Xiu!
Wu Jinfan looked at him, his eyes full of murderous intent.
This time he must kill him and not give him another chance to escape!
Seeing this, Han Xiu's face changed slightly.
Wu Jinfan's strength frightened him.
"Withdraw!" Han Xiu shouted.
Han Xiu took the lead and ran into the distance.
Wu Jinfan shook his head disdainfully.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! ”
Wu Jinfan danced the eight snake spears in his hand so tightly that the enemy troops in front of him were killed!
Seeing that the situation was not good, Han Xiu hurriedly sped up and ran into the distance.
.........
"Your army is marshal!"
Han Xiu escaped death from Wu Jinfan.
A trace of resentment rose in his heart.
He originally planned to take advantage of Wu Jinfan's siege of the city to lead the army to break through the city, seize the grain and grass, and then take advantage of the situation to kill back and regain what he deserved, but the commander of Western Xia refused to fight to the death at all!
Han Xiu's teeth itched!
The losses this time were too great, and more than 1,000 Western Xia elites and 5,000 rebels were buried under the green tiles of the city wall.
