Chapter 380, the situation is very good

Under the command of Brother Hugh, there are the so-called one bear, two tigers, and three wolves, which are actually the six most important generals under his command. The so-called one bear is the famous tiger bear, the first fierce general under the command of the famous Hugh Ge, the so-called two tigers, is Zhang Jiang and Wei Ming Shouzhong, the three wolves are, Wei Mingtai, Zhang Yuan, Li Qiyun, these three people are also famous generals in Western Xia, among which Zhang Yuan is a Han Chinese, Wei Mingtai and Li Qiyun are party members.

Brother Hugh said to Zhang Jiang: "Zhang Jiang, you go down immediately and gather all the people in our jurisdiction for me, the old and weak women help transport grain, grass and various war equipment and materials, and the young and strong men help us fight!" Now that the great enemy is present, all the people of Daxia should fight against foreign humiliation with the same hatred! ”

Zhang Jiang bowed down and agreed, and then asked, "What if someone doesn't obey?" Brother Hugh said coldly: "If you refuse to serve, you will betray you, and you will not be forgiven!" Zhang Jiang responded and walked away.

Brother Wei Mingxiu looked at a simple-looking general and said, "Wei Mingtai, you rush to the Wolf Mountain Fortress, defend carefully, and report the situation at any time!" "It turns out that the honest general is Wei Mingtai, one of the three wolves under Brother Hugh. Wei Mingtai bowed down and left in a hurry.

The so-called Wolf Mountain Fortress is located at the eastern foot of the Wolf Mountain on the north bank of the Yellow River, with the Wolf Mountain in the north and the Yellow River in the south, and is the most important strategic point in the north of the Yellow River.

Brother Weiming's gaze moved to the remaining two generals, needless to say, those two must be the two remaining of the three wolves, Zhang Yuan and Li Qiyun. That Zhang Yuan is a short but very fierce man, while Li Qiyun is tall, fierce, and gives people a very impulsive feeling. Brother Wei Ming Xiu said: "You go back to the barracks and urge the soldiers to be ready to go to battle at any time!" The two generals clenched their fists and hurried away.

Hugh stood up, walked over to the map made of sheepskin, and looked at it in thought.

At this moment, a personal soldier led a dusty forbidden army officer rushed in. The soldier pressed his right hand to his chest and bowed and said, "General, Your Majesty has sent a messenger." He stepped aside.

Brother Wei Ming Hugh turned around, only to see the forbidden army officer come forward, hold up a letter with both hands, bow down and say, "General, Your Majesty's handwritten letter to you!" Brother Hugh glanced at his soldiers, and the latter understood, and immediately stepped forward to take the letter, and came over to forward it to Brother Hugh. Brother Hugh picked up the letter and saw that the envelope was written with seven beautiful and dignified characters, 'Brother Hugh personally opened', and he didn't need to look at the letter inside Brother Hugh also knew that this must be His Majesty's handwritten letter. I opened the envelope, took out the stationery, unfolded it and looked at it, with a look of great joy on my face, and laughed loudly: "Good, good, great!" I was still worried, but I didn't expect good news to come so soon! ”

He looked at the forbidden army officer and asked, "Since the situation in the south is good, does Your Majesty plan to send me reinforcements?" The officer bowed and said, "Your Majesty wants me to tell the general that 10,000 elites and 30,000 civilian troops are on the way to come, and the general must guard the city of Wulahai and not make any mistakes!" ”

Brother Wei Mingxiu smiled and said: "You go back and tell Your Majesty, just say that I am guarding Wulahai City, absolutely foolproof!" The officer bowed and agreed, and then said, "If the general has no other orders, I will go back and resume my life!" Brother Hugh said, "Go ahead!" The officer bowed again and hurried away.

Brother Huge turned around, looked at the map, and said in his heart: "I originally had 30,000 soldiers and horses, if I add 10,000 elite soldiers and 30,000 militiamen, it is 70,000 horses, plus the local mobilized people, I can take out more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, this place is easy to defend and difficult to attack, although Yanyun has more than 200,000 troops, it will not succeed!" As soon as I thought of this, my heart couldn't help but be filled with confidence.

Zhang Jiang sent his officers to various settlements around Wulahai City, gathering people, everywhere was a noisy and noisy scene, men, women, old people, children, whether they wanted to or unwillingly gathered in Wulahai City, some people looked very excited to try, but more people were crying with sad faces, and some people kept crying.

At the same time, the tiger bear led his 5,000 elite soldiers to the east of the ferry, joined the original 1,000 defenders of the ferry, and prepared for battle. The soldiers looked at Hedong with excitement and fear, and a young soldier looked at Hedong and couldn't help but say: "I always hear people say how powerful the Yanyun Army is, I really want to see if they are as powerful as the legend!" The tone and demeanor were full of challenge. An old soldier next to him sighed, "It's better not to see it, that's not a good thing!" The young soldier glanced at him with disdain, and said angrily: "You are such a waste, you haven't even seen Yan Yunjun, and you are actually scared!" Hmph, I'm not afraid of them, aren't they all raised by my parents, I don't believe I can't do them! ”

The old army said angrily: "Young people don't know the height of the sky, the Yan Yun army is really so easy to deal with, and our army will not be defeated one after another!" The young soldier said angrily: "That's their trick, not the real skill!" The old soldier smiled wryly and shook his head. The young soldier paid no attention to him, and it seemed to him that there was no need for the coward to ramble with him, and turned to talk to the other soldiers.

At this moment, someone suddenly shouted: "The enemy is coming!!" Everyone hurriedly looked towards the east of the river, only to see that under the reflection of the scorching sun, the boundless and endless waves were slowly surging towards this side, the smoke and dust were filled, the flags were surging, and the rumbling sound was getting louder and louder from far to near. The soldiers of the Western Xia Army couldn't help but show a look of fear when they saw that the Yanyun Army was huge and imposing, and the young soldier who had spoken big before couldn't help the fear in his heart, and his face turned pale.

At this moment, someone pointed to the river and exclaimed, "There are also on the river!" The soldiers looked up to the river again, and saw countless large boats coming up from the downstream and stopping before the confluence of the two rivers.

Before sunset, a joint venture stretching for more than ten miles was erected on the plain east of the river, and a huge water village was also erected on the Yellow River next to it. The urgent news reached Wulahai City, and in view of the huge strength of the enemy's army, Brother Wei ordered Marshal Zhang to ride 5,000 cavalry to reinforcements. That night, there was another urgent report, saying that Yan Yunjun had launched a fierce attack on the ferry. Although Brother Wei was full of confidence before, he couldn't help but worry at this moment.

At the same time, the onslaught of the Yan Yun army was still continuing, and thousands of Yan Yun troops crossed the river in large and small boats to storm the storm, at this time, the bright moon was in the sky, illuminating the earth as if it were day, and the Yellow River flickered and fluoresced into a huge jade belt. The rockets launched by the armies of the two sides flew like a rain of fire over the Yellow River, the scene was magnificent, mixed with a loud splash, a column of water went straight into the night sky, it was the movement caused by the stones thrown by the Western Xia army falling into the water, suddenly a loud sound came, it was a boulder whistling and flying, smashing the mast of a big ship. There was a lot of shouting and shouting on the shore, and the Western Xia soldiers desperately fired arrows at the boat formation in the middle of the river.

Boom, boom, boom......! With a loud roar, a fire dragon suddenly danced wildly on the surface of the river. Before the Western Xia army on the shore could understand what was going on, they felt an incomparably strong storm sweeping in, and in a crackling and deafening loud sound, dust flew and flesh and blood flew everywhere! When the Western Xia soldiers came back to their senses, they were shocked to find that many of the horses on the bank of the river in front of them had been destroyed, and many of their companions had also died, and the stumps were everywhere, and the scene was terrible, and everyone's hearts could not help but tremble, and the shore was extremely quiet for a while, and the shouts on the river seemed to be in another world.

Boom, boom, boom......! There was a huge roar on the river again, and the Western Xia soldiers with the experience just now were startled, and then the storm blew again, and in the terrible screams, many more Western Xia soldiers died. The Western Xia soldiers were frightened in their hearts and involuntarily retreated.

Seeing this scene, the famous tiger bear slashed over an officer who had retreated with a knife, and roared sharply: "Don't retreat!" Don't go back! All the soldiers stepped forward with their swords and shouted: "Don't retreat!" Don't go back! While shouting, he swung his sword and slashed the soldiers who still did not heed the warning and retreated. The Xixia soldiers had no way to retreat, so they had to shout and continue to fight, constantly sending rockets, and constantly firing stones, if the stones hit the big ship, the damage to the big ship is very considerable, but the rocket, which was originally used by the Western Xia army to burn the enemy ship, but those rockets fell on the enemy ship, but there was no situation expected by the Tangut people at all, and the brilliance of most of the rockets was extinguished after only a few flashes, and it could not ignite the enemy ship at all, not to mention the hull of the enemy ship, even the sails could not ignite. When the people of Western Xia saw this situation, they thought that Yan Yunjun had some demon method, and they were inevitably terrified, but there was no better way, and they could only keep launching rockets. In fact, the people of Western Xia didn't know that Yanyun's big ships, whether civilian or military, had been treated with fireproofing, and the sails were made of asbestos, so it was impossible to ignite them.

When the big boat of Yanyun reached the middle of the river, it stopped and bombarded the shore with artillery, while the clipper boat and the bamboo raft passed through the gap between the big boats, overtaking the big boats and rushing towards the opposite bank. The 'rain of fire' was still flying in the sky, the artillery fire was still raging, the stones were still falling into the water, causing the boss to splash, and the Yanyun assault force was quickly approaching the opposite bank.

Seeing this, the tiger and bear commanded the soldiers to change their targets and fire arrows at the rushing clippers and rafts. All of a sudden, the rain of arrows turned and fell into the middle of the assault troops, seeing many Yanyun soldiers planted arrows into the river, but the momentum of the assault troops' charge did not weaken in the slightest.

The officers and men of the Western Xia army desperately blocked the Yanyun assault force under Yanyun's artillery fire, but they saw that the Yanyun assault force was constantly approaching the riverbank, while their own side suffered heavy casualties under the enemy's artillery fire.

Seeing that Yan Yunjun's army was about to land, Wei Ming Tiger Bear immediately commanded his officers and men to prepare for a counter-charge. Yang Peng immediately looked at the fierce and magnificent battlefield in front of him on the bank of the river, and saw that the two thousand assault troops were about to land, so he turned his head and asked Yang Jiumei beside him: "Ninth sister, which part of the assault force is and who is the commander?" Yang Jiumei hugged her fists and said: "It is a battalion sergeant under the command of Xiaomei, and the principal and deputy commanders are a pair of brothers, the elder brother is called Li Hu, and the younger brother is called Li Bao." Yang Peng nodded and continued to watch the battle ahead.

I saw dozens or hundreds of wooden boats and bamboo rafts rushing into the shallow water area of the shore, and at this time the artillery fire on the big ships had stopped bombardment, and the accuracy of the artillery in this era was extremely poor, and if it was still bombarded in this situation, it was very easy to injure one's own people by mistake. A rain of arrows flew out from the opposite side, and the Yanyun soldiers who were rushing towards the shore fell a lot. The shield-bearer then sped forward and formed a shield wall to move forward, while the rest of the soldiers bent down and followed behind the shield-bearer.

Another rain of arrows flew, crackling and hitting the shield, and then the shield bearers squatted down together, followed by Sergeant Yan Yun raised the strong crossbow that had already been ready to shoot, only to hear a loud sound on the ground, as if a gust of wind was blowing, and the soldiers of the Western Xia Army on the opposite side fell down, and the Western Xia Army was in chaos. The two particularly strong generals waved their broadswords forward and shouted, "Charge! Nearly 2,000 soldiers shouted violently and rushed towards the Western Xia army on the opposite side, as if a flood had broken through the embankment.

Seeing this, the Xixia army subconsciously shouted to greet him. In the blink of an eye, I saw that the soldiers on both sides slammed together, and then the sound of slashing, shouting, and screaming rang out, and a cold light flickered, like a sparkling wave, reflecting the flying blood, and the soldiers on both sides continued to fall in a pool of blood. In just a moment, the fierce Yanyun army had already gained the upper hand, and after a round of fierce battles, the Western Xia army was defeated and began to retreat.

At this moment, the whining horn sounded loudly, cutting through the noisy and noisy battlefield. When the Xixia army heard this voice, they immediately spread out to both sides, revealing an open space for the boss in front of them. General Yan Yun suddenly saw that not far ahead, thousands of Western Xia warriors were ready to charge. Li Hu was startled, immediately stopped, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Stop the pursuit and line up on the spot!" More than 1,000 soldiers immediately gathered, shield bearers and pikemen outside, forming a hedgehog-like defensive line, and the other sergeants were in the center, putting down their long knives and other blades, taking off the strong crossbows on their backs, and quickly winding them up and loading them with arrows. Today's Yanyun Army is completely different from the military equipment of other countries, unlike the division of labor like the armies of other countries, the archer is the archer, the shield hand is the shield hand, every soldier of the Yanyun Army is equipped with long-range weapons such as bows and crossbows, and is also equipped with melee weapons within the broadsword and spear, everyone can attack from afar, but also in close combat, just in this regard, the combat effectiveness of the Yanyun Army is stronger than the army of ordinary countries.

Woowoo...... With a rapid sound of horns, three thousand Xixia warriors shouted and charged, the earth trembled, and the Xixia warriors swept like a sandstorm, with iron hooves and murderous spirits, the blood of every Xixia knight was completely boiling, and an impulse to crush the enemy lingered in the hearts of every soldier.

Whoosh ......, the Western Xia war cavalry fired arrows in the process of galloping, and the arrow rain fell into the Yanyun army, many soldiers fell to the ground with arrows, and the seriously injured were dragged down by their comrades, and the injuries were not serious, and the broken arrow shaft still stood in place, staring coldly at the Western Xia war cavalry that was rapidly coming.

"Shoot the arrows!" Li Hu shouted at the top of his voice. With his roar, he only heard a loud buzzing sound, and the rain of arrows set off a gust of wind and whistled away, and seeing the enemy horsemen rushing towards him turn on their backs, the momentum of the impact that was originally amazing appeared some confusion. However, the Western Xia War Cavalry did not flinch in any way, and still rushed towards it with a frenzied shout.

"Ready for battle!!" Li Hu roared. The shield-bearer drew his lunge and held his shield in both hands, and the pikeman clenched his spear, the head of the spear against the tide of cavalry that was about to collide, and the rumbling hooves of horses and heart-rending shouts were already tingling in the eardrums.

In the blink of an eye, the 'wave' surged in, only to hear a violent impact of the rumble, the wave of war horses fiercely crashed on the Yanyun defensive front, the shield hand was knocked out by the huge force, the spear suddenly collapsed, and the Western Xia war riders turned on their backs, and many knights even flew out of the horse and fell into the middle of the Yanyun army formation, and before they could get up, they were killed by the countless knives and guns that fell.

The line of defense was breached, and Western Xia warriors swarmed in through the gap.

Seeing that the defense line was broken, Li Hu shouted loudly: "Scatter the star array!" The soldiers roared, and they didn't care about the formation, everyone rushed to the middle of the enemy cavalry with swords and guns, cut the horse's hooves with long knives, poked the knights with spears, and saw the Western Xia cavalry turn over on their backs; The Western Xia cavalry was also already crazy, desperately urging the horse to charge, desperately wielding the scimitar, and one by one the Yanyun warriors fell in a pool of blood.

Seeing his cavalry breaking through the enemy's battle formation and the enemy still fighting back frantically, he couldn't help but be very frightened. Immediately ordered all the infantry troops to besiege it, and it was necessary to completely annihilate Yanyun's assault force.

More than 1,000 Yanyun infantry troops were already in an unfavorable situation in the face of 3,000 Western Xia cavalry, and at this time, countless Western Xia infantry troops besieged from all directions, and the situation immediately became precarious. Although Yan Yun's soldiers were fighting desperately, even at the expense of the enemy, they could not change the situation at all, there were too many enemies.

The famous tiger and bear looked at the battlefield with a sinister smile on his face.

Boom Boom Boom ...... A loud thunderous bang suddenly came from the north. Wei Ming Tiger Bear was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly turned his head to look north, only to see that under the silver-white moonlight, a black wave composed of countless fierce war horses was rushing. The famous tiger bear was shocked and exclaimed in disbelief: "How, how is it possible? He was too careless, paying attention to all the ferry, but he didn't expect that while Yan Yunjun was attacking the ferry, he secretly built a pontoon bridge more than 70 miles upstream with a force, and 10,000 cavalry immediately crossed the Yellow River.

Wei Ming Tiger Xiong immediately ordered the war cavalry that was fighting to withdraw to block the enemy, and the remaining infantry continued to besiege Li Hu's Yanyun infantry army, but because the Yanyun cavalry suddenly appeared on the flank, the Western Xia generals were in turmoil, so they were unable to give up, and the five or six thousand infantry troops faced nearly a thousand Yanyun infantry troops, not only failed to gain any advantage, but were killed by the fierce counterattack Yanyun infantry army and retreated.

On the other side, the Western Xia war cavalry and the Yanyun war cavalry met, and the Yanyun war cavalry was like a rainbow and moved forward, and in an instant, the Western Xia war cavalry was scattered and collapsed. Seeing this scene, the Western Xia infantry army was greatly frightened, and they turned around and fled, only to see that on the field on the west bank of the Yellow River, the Western Xia army rushed westward, and the Yanyun army pursued and killed bravely. ……

Brother Hugh was relieved of the battle situation at the ferry, and personally led a thousand horsemen to leave Wulahai City and rush to the ferry. I didn't think that less than twenty miles away from the city of Urahai, I heard the rumbling of horses' hooves in front of me. Brother Hugh and his party stopped, Brother Hugh stood on horseback and looked into the distance, and then the moonlight saw hundreds of horsemen rushing towards this side, and then saw that the tide of hundreds of horses was surging, and it turned out to be a torrent of thousands of cavalry.

Brother Hugh's face changed, he knew that his cavalry in the direction of the ferry was only about 3,000 people, and it was impossible for a cavalry of this size to be his own war horse. Quickly turned his head and ordered an officer beside him: "Go back to Wulahai City immediately, and order the four gates to be closed, and no one is allowed to open the city gate without my order!" The officer had already sensed the urgency of the situation, and when he heard the order, he hurriedly answered the promise, turned his horse's head, and ran towards the city of Ullah.

A moment later, the hundreds of war horses rushed to the front, and at this time, Brother Wei Ming Xiu saw clearly, it was his own cavalry that came, and the two leaders were Wei Ming Tiger Bear and Zhang Yuan, all of them were panting and frightened, many of them were covered with blood and knife wounds, obviously just experienced a vicious battle. When the famous tiger bear saw Brother Hugh, he shouted urgently: "Big brother, go quickly, Yan Yunjun is chasing after you!" ”

Brother Wei Mingxiu still had a thought in his heart, but when he heard this, that little thought was gone, and the two sides converged into one and rushed towards Ula Sea City, chasing after the rumbling thunder.

Brother Wei Ming Xiu glanced back, and saw that Yan Yun's battle horse was two or three hundred steps away, and his heart was a little relieved. He glanced back at the famous tiger bear, full of questions and wanted to get an explanation from him, but at this time, it was not the time for the pursuers to speak, so he could only bury these questions in his heart for the time being, and planned to ask carefully after returning to Wulahai City.

The two sides chased and ran, and soon, they came to the city of Wulahai.

Li Qiyuan, the general standing on the tower of the city gate, saw Brother Hugh and the others who were rushing from a distance, and hurriedly shouted to the side: "It's the general, open the city gate quickly!" ”

When the captain of the city gate heard the order, he immediately ordered his soldiers to open the city gate. At this time, the people of Brother Hugh rushed to the city gate, and when they saw the gate of the city open, they immediately did not stop, and went straight in, and at the same time Brother Hugh shouted: "Close the city gate quickly!" The sergeants quickly shut the gates and lowered the latches. A loud rumbling and thunderous sound was silenced from the door. Then the loud noise was gone.

Brother Xiu and the others rushed up to the city wall, looking outside the city, only to see nearly 10,000 Yanyun warriors stopping at two hundred steps outside the city, under the moonlight, it seemed to be boundless and endless, revealing a cold momentum that made people's hearts beat faster.

Suddenly, the general in front of the army waved the horse lance in his hand forward, only to hear a roar of a tiger and a wolf howling from outside the city, and then he saw Yanyun war horses surging like a tide. The Western Xia army had just been defeated for a while, and the sudden arrival of Yanyun's war cavalry also shocked the soldiers and civilians in the city, and they were very shaken, and at this moment, they suddenly saw that the Yanyun army was attacking the city, and they couldn't help but be startled, and many people couldn't help but have the idea of escaping.

After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
