Chapter 383, there is no way to escape

Brother Hugh and the others trampled on the blood and corpses of the common people and came to the city gate. The famous tiger bear shouted, "Open the city gates!" The Great General is here! Seeing this, the captain of the city gate hurriedly saluted, and then ordered the sergeant to open the city gate. Brother Hugh and the others immediately rushed out of the city gate.

The captain of the city gate saw that the general had run away, and he only felt overwhelmed. A sergeant next to him asked the captain, "My lord, the generals have all run away, what should we do?" The captain frowned and said, "The generals have all run away, what are we going to do left!" Then he shouted to his subordinates, "Let's run for our lives!" As soon as these words came out, the scene immediately exploded, those who ran out of the city ran out of the city, hid in the city and hid in the city, and in the blink of an eye, the huge north gate actually ran away without a person. After a while, people came running here one after another, and when they saw that the gates were wide open and unattended, they fled with joy.

Brother Wei Ming and the others escaped from the city gate, and when they heard the sound of killing behind them, they couldn't help but look back. I saw that the Yan Yun army on the east and west sides had broken through the city gate and was surging in. Everyone couldn't help but secretly rejoice.

The group did not dare to stop, and rushed straight to the north. Wei Ming Shouzhong asked Brother Wei Mingxiu: "Big brother, what should we do next?" It's a big sin for us to lose the city of Ullah! ”

Everyone couldn't help but be worried. Li Qiyun said: "You can't blame us for this!" If it weren't for the negligence and slackness of the reinforcements and the total annihilation of the Yan Yun army, how could the situation have come to such a point! Wei Ming Shouzhong said with some emotion: "Even if reinforcements come, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold it!" Everyone couldn't help but think of the bloody battle just now, those Yan Yunjun were really like tigers and wolves, all of them were fierce and unusually fierce and not afraid of death, thinking of this, they couldn't help but have palpitations.

Brother Hugh said: "Wait until you get to the Wolf Mountain Fortress and then make plans!" When Your Majesty has solved the enemy in the south, we will inevitably move north, and we will counterattack at the same time, and we will make a difference! The generals nodded.

Brother Hue turned his head and said to Mingshou Zhong: "Shou Zhong, send someone to the south to spread the news of the loss of Wulahai City, lest they be defenseless!" In response, he turned his head and shouted a few words to an officer beside him, who immediately shouted at his subordinates, then turned his horse's head and left the brigade and ran westward, and several of his subordinates followed him away.

Brother Hugh and his entourage rushed to the bank of the Yellow River, this is the north flow of the Yellow River after the upper end of the Yellow River, also called the Wujia River, the opposite layer of mountains and mountains are majestic, looking at it from afar, it is like a huge black wolf crawling between heaven and earth, that is the Wolf Mountain, a huge military village can be faintly seen under the Wolf Mountain, that is the so-called Wolf Mountain Fortress.

Brother Hugh looked around, frowned, and said, "How to cross the river without a boat, go find a boat!" The generals answered the promise and ordered their subordinates. At this moment, everyone faintly heard the sound of thunder in their ears, and they couldn't help but be stunned, and then they lifted their hearts and hurriedly looked around. But he didn't see the enemy, Li Qiyun said: "There is no enemy, it should be thunder!" Dry weather thunder is also very common on the grassland! The crowd thought he had a point.

"What's that?" Someone suddenly pointed to a gentle grassy slope to the west. Everyone hurriedly looked in the direction of his finger, only to see hundreds of cavalry appearing on the grassy slope, looking at the outfits, it was obviously Yanyun war horses. Everyone couldn't help but be surprised. "There's one over there, too!" Someone shouted pointing to the grassy slope on the far southeast side. Everyone hurriedly looked in the direction of his finger again, and sure enough, they saw hundreds of Yanyun war horses appearing over there.

Brother Wei Ming Xiu frowned and scolded: "Such a cunning Yang Peng, he actually guessed that we would escape here!" "In fact, it is not difficult to guess, Wulahai City was attacked by the Yanyun army from east to west, leaving only the north and south, although the south can also escape, but after crossing the Yellow River south, it is an endless desert, and the army is tantamount to suicide when it flees into the vast desert, and in the north, there is the Wolf Mountain Fortress, and there are 10,000 elite soldiers to garrison, of which the reserves are also sufficient, and it is completely possible to retreat there and then make plans, so Wei Ming Huge and others can only flee to the Wolf Mountain Fortress after abandoning the Ula Sea City, Therefore, when Chen Xiao and Yelutri made their battle plans, they had already ambushed 5,000 war horsemen near the south bank of the Wujia River.

A moment later, the Western Xia army saw more and more Yanyun war cavalry appearing in the field of vision, and in the end, it was almost twice as many troops as their own, and many soldiers were panicked and at a loss.

Wei Ming Tiger Xiong tightened the big knife in his hand, turned his head and said to Brother Wei Ming: "Big brother, fight with them!" Brother Wei Mingxiu knew that there was no other choice at this point, so he could only fight to the death, and maybe he could fight his way out, his eyes were fixed, he slowly pulled out the scimitar at his waist, raised it high, and shouted loudly: "The warriors of Western Xia, if you want to survive, you have to fight with them!" The Xixia soldiers were already flustered, but when they heard the shouts of Brother Hugh, they couldn't help but have a fighting spirit in their hearts, and they only felt that if they wanted to escape with their lives, they could only fight with Yan Yunjun, and they couldn't help but shout.

Seeing that the soldiers' fighting spirit was encouraged, Brother Wei was secretly relieved, if everyone still looked like they were going to die just now, this battle would not be able to be fought. Brother Wei Mingxiu shouted, and when he rode his horse to the Yanyun war horse on the grassy slope to the west, nearly 3,000 Xixia troops shouted, and also launched a charge, and nearly 3,000 people rode horses and galloped not weakly, everyone held a belief, rushed out in one go, and escaped.

Yanyun warhorses faced the counter-charge of the Western Xia people, but they did not charge against each other. The hundreds of horsemen in front spread out to both sides, revealing the cavalry behind them, all of them were tall and majestic Yanwang iron cavalry wrapped in iron armor!

The soldiers of the Western Xia army did not expect this to happen, they were all shocked, some people hurriedly reined in their horses, some people were still rushing forward, the scene was chaotic, and the will to fight that had just been condensed collapsed before the battle was engaged.

Woo...... A long horn sounded on the grassy slope. I saw that nearly two thousand Yan King Iron Cavalry began to start, and the earth was already trembling, and a huge thunder seemed to be brewing. The two thousand Yan King Iron Cavalry were arranged in three horizontal rows, slowly accelerating, and when they rushed down the grassy slope, they had completely rushed up, and the torrent of iron armor rushed in, like a mountain moving forward, unstoppable, and the earth trembled violently, and also shook the hearts of the Western Xia soldiers.

Someone exclaimed, "Run, we're no match for them!" These words further undermined the morale of the Tangut people, and many of the Tangut soldiers hurriedly turned their horses' heads and ran eastward, while the rest stayed where they were, not knowing what to do.

In the blink of an eye, the ironclad war cavalry crashed into the middle of the Western Xia army, and there were brave Western Xia soldiers who fought back, but it was like an egg hitting a stone, their scimitars slashed at the opponent's iron armor without any effect, and the whistling mace of the Yan Wang Iron Horse smashed their flesh and blood to the back of their horses, which was clearly invincible, as if it was an iron hammer smashing a watermelon!

In the blink of an eye, the Western Xia army was rushed to pieces! The remnants fled to the east, but they were intercepted by the Yanyun cavalry from the southeast, and the remnants fled in all directions. Yanyun iron armor stood in place, and the light cavalry pursued from all sides, and a spectacular scene like driving sheep was staged on the prairie. ……

In the evening, the sky darkened, and the earth was gloomy. Brother Hugh and the others finally got rid of Yan Yunjun's pursuit and fled into a small forest in the middle of the grassland. The crowd was stunned and panting. Brother Wei Ming Xiu looked around and found that there were only about 20 people left, all of them like frightened birds, but fortunately, Wei Ming Shouzhong, Wei Ming Tiger Bear, Li Qiyun, and Zong Yuan were all there, and they did not fall into the hands of Yan Yunjun.

Brother Hugh suddenly came to his heart, and couldn't help crying: "I, Brother Hugh, am a hero, but I didn't expect to be defeated so badly today, and I didn't even have a place to escape!" I, I might as well die! As he spoke, he drew his scimitar and slashed at his neck.

Everyone was shocked when they saw this, and hurriedly rushed up to the rescue, and the famous tiger bear moved the fastest to hug the hands of Brother Wei Mingxiu holding the knife, and shouted: "Big brother, you can't think about it!" It's just a lost battle, what's the big deal! Wei Ming Shouzhong cried: "Big brother, if you die, we won't be able to live!" Li Qiyun said: "If we are defeated today, we can still avenge this arrow to Yan Yun in the future, but if you kill yourself, general, then you will be a complete failure, and you will never be able to take revenge!" ”

Brother Hugh was originally a strong-willed person, but it was difficult for him to make a self-killing move under the emotional turmoil just now, but now after listening to everyone's words, he dispelled the idea of killing himself. Put the knife back into the sheath and look at everyone gratefully, "You are right, I have to live well, and one day I will avenge this arrow!" Everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw that Brother Hugh had dispelled the idea of killing himself.

Li Qiyun said: "Maybe it won't be long before Your Majesty has completely wiped out the enemy army in the south and is leading the army to the north!" We need to hurry to the Wolf Mountain Fortress and get ready for a counterattack! ”

Brother Wei Mingxiu nodded, patted Li Qiyun on the shoulder, glanced at everyone, and said loudly: "Everyone take a break, and then find a way to cross the Wujia River and rush to the Wolf Mountain Fortress." The crowd agreed in unison.

Brother Wei Xiu and Li Qiyuan walked aside, and Brother Wei Ming Xiu said worriedly: "I'm very worried about the Wolf Mountain Fortress, I don't know how the Wolf Mountain Fortress is now, is it still in our hands?" Li Qiyun said: "The Wolf Mountain Fortress is easy to defend and difficult to attack, although the Yanyun Army is brave, it is impossible to take it without ten days and a half months!" Brother Hugh nodded. ……

Wei Mingtai has been paying attention to the battle situation of Wulahai City in the Wolf Mountain Fortress, and when Wulahai City is in danger, he intends to lead the army to support, but Wulahai City fell too quickly, Wei Mingtai has just assembled the army, and Wulahai City is lost. Wei Mingtai was shocked, and ordered the soldiers of the fortress to be strictly guarded, and no one was allowed to enter or leave the fortress at will without an order, and at the same time sent scouts to investigate the situation in the south.

One night was hard to get through, and the next morning, there were a succession of defeated soldiers who crossed the river and fled, those who could swim in the water, who could not swim in the water, floated over with a piece of wood, and the lucky ones snatched small wooden boats from nearby fishermen. The whole river is like dumplings, very lively, but in the eyes of the soldiers of the Xixia Army in the Wolf Mountain Fortress, it is so miserable and sad.

The defeated troops who crossed the river rushed into the Wolf Mountain Fortress one after another, and a man who looked like an officer was brought to Wei Mingtai. The officer recognized Wei Mingtai, and when he saw Wei Mingtai, he knelt down and saluted: "The villain greets the general!" ”

Wei Mingtai frowned and asked, "Is Ula Sea City really lost?" The officer said sadly: "It is indeed lost!" Everyone died and fled, and the villain was lucky and escaped from life! Wei Mingtai asked urgently, "What about the generals?" Did they escape? ”

The officer said: "I heard that they have escaped, and they are one step ahead of us to break through the encirclement." When Wei Mingtai heard this, his heart that had been hanging couldn't help but let go of half of it, and then frowned and muttered: "Since you have already broken through, why haven't you come here yet!" "I can't help but recall the scene of the battle on the other side of the Wujia River yesterday during the day, when thousands of my own horsemen were rushed and slashed by the other side, and I couldn't help but feel bad in my heart: 'Could it be that the generals were the ones who fell into a heavy siege on the other side of the river yesterday and were killed in all directions?' I felt that it was very possible, and I couldn't help but panic, I just felt that if something happened to the general, I didn't know what to do.

At noon, there were more defeated soldiers who came, Wei Mingtai made a rough count, so far, there were about four or five thousand defeated soldiers who retreated into the Wolf Mountain Fortress, and there were many people mixed with them, almost all of them were party members, and the Wulahai area was occupied by the Yanyun army, and these party people were naturally frightened, and many people followed the defeated soldiers across the Wujia River and fled to the Wolf Mountain Fortress.

"Look, General!" An officer suddenly exclaimed. Wei Mingtai looked in the direction of his finger, and suddenly saw that the banner on the opposite bank was showing that the army was in full swing, and tens of thousands of Yanyun's troops appeared in the sky, heading towards the Wujia River. Wei Mingtai's heart was shocked, and he hurriedly ordered: "Pass the order, close the walled gate, and prepare for battle!" The officer hurriedly answered the promise and ran down, and the shouts spread throughout the fortress from near and far, and I saw a commotion in the fortress. The sergeants outside the gate rushed into the fortress, and then the gate was closed, and the people who had not had time to escape into the fortress shouted loudly outside the gate and begged the people inside to open the door, but no one paid attention, so they had no choice but to escape around the fortress of Wolf Mountain and flee to the depths of Wolf Mountain; At the same time, the soldiers of each team climbed the wall one after another, the three-bow bed crossbow and the catapult were pushed to the firing position, and the oil, wood, and stones were continuously transported to the wall, and the whole fortress was a tense and busy scene.

About an hour later, Yan Yun's army arrived on the south bank, and the soldiers of the Western Xia army on the fortress saw that Yan Yun's army had launched many huge rectangular carriages with strange shapes. Just when the soldiers of the Western Xia Army were strange, the soldiers of the Yanyun Army on the other side of the bank moved down many things similar to bamboo rafts from the carriages, and it turned out that the huge cuboid on the carriage was made of bamboo rafts.

The soldiers of the Western Xia Army couldn't help but get nervous when they knew that Yan Yunjun was going to cross the river. Wei Mingtai ordered one of the officers beside him: "Gather all our two thousand war cavalry and prepare to attack!" The officer answered and ran down. Immediately, the people in the fortress shouted and neighed, and a 2,000-strong cavalry quickly assembled near the gate of the village.

Yan Yunjun threw those bamboo rafts into the river, but instead of crossing the river on the raft, he used ropes, spikes and other things to connect the bamboo rafts with his hands and feet, which were constantly lengthened and extended towards the opposite bank. The officers and soldiers of the Western Xia Army understood that Yan Yunjun was building a pontoon bridge!

Wei Mingtai immediately ordered 2,000 horsemen to go out to the shore and block the enemy with bows and arrows. The gate of the fortress opened, and two thousand Western Xia warriors roared out of the fortress and rushed towards the shore. Ran to the shore, reined in their horses, and released arrows to the Yanyun sergeant who was building a pontoon bridge in the middle of the river, several Yanyun sergeants were planted in the water, but the other Yanyun sergeants didn't seem to be aware, so they just stepped up to build the pontoon bridge, and then a few sergeants with shields came up from behind, and protected the soldiers who were doing business with their shields.

The Western Xia cavalry kept firing arrows, most of the arrows were blocked by the shield, but occasionally the arrows hit the Yanyun soldiers behind the shields, and the other Yanyun soldiers dragged down the wounded soldiers, and at the same time, someone quickly replenished the position of the wounded, and the speed of building the pontoon bridge did not slow down a little.

Seeing that the pontoon bridge was constantly approaching the shore, the Western Xia cavalry couldn't help but panic and shoot arrows desperately, but the whizzing arrows could not hinder the progress of Yan Yunjun's construction of the pontoon bridge at all.

Yang Peng saw that the pontoon bridge was about to reach the shore, and ordered: "Let Yang Jing Shuai Mo Sword Army!" A hidden killer immediately went down to give the order, and then saw that fierce black man leading hundreds of fierce soldiers wearing heavy armor and holding Mo swords rushed out of the military formation, boarded the pontoon bridge, and rushed towards the opposite bank.

When the pontoon bridge was approaching the shore, because the distance was already very close, the intensity of the arrow rain of the Western Xia cavalry was obviously not comparable to before, and the Yanyun soldiers continued to suffer casualties, and their work came to a standstill.

At this moment, the soldiers who were working only heard rumbling footsteps behind them, and the entire pontoon bridge was shaking, while an extremely fierce voice shouted: "Get out of the way!" Get out of the way! All the sergeants were in a state of panic, and they dodged to both sides, some accidentally fell into the water, and hurriedly put their hands on the edge of the pontoon bridge to prevent themselves from being washed away, turned their heads to look behind, and saw the vicious and abnormal General Yang Jing leading hundreds of heavily armored warriors to rush.

The Western Xia cavalry on the shore were taken aback when they saw Yang Jing and their fierce rush, and hurriedly fired arrows at them, and the arrows flew away with a whistling sound, hitting their heavy armor, making a loud clanging sound, but they could not hurt them in the slightest.

Yang Jing jumped off the shallows by the river first, followed by the Modao Army, and the Mo Dao Army followed suit, with a loud noise, and at the same time, the water splashed, and the hundreds of fierce tiger-like Yanyun soldiers separated the river and rushed towards the Western Xia war cavalry that was already close at hand. The commander of the Western Xia, who led the army, saw the opponent rushing towards him, and without thinking, he ordered his cavalry to put away their bows and arrows and charge to break the enemy. The two thousand Xixia warriors immediately put away their bows and arrows, drew their scimitars, and launched a charge with a shout, and for a time there seemed to be an earthy yellow wave surging on the shore, and the momentum was quite amazing.

However, Yang Jing and the others were not only fearless, but shouted excitedly, rushed to meet them, and slammed into the cavalry torrent in a straggler formation. In an instant, the Western Xia war cavalry turned over on their backs, people shouted and neighed, and those Mo Dao soldiers who rushed into the middle of the cavalry waved Mo Dao frantically, their roar The whistling sound of Mo Dao was still clear and audible even in this noisy and noisy battlefield, and it was moving! The Mo Dao Army danced out of a series of cold light flashing horses, the Western Xia War Cavalry is just a light cavalry, where can it compete with the Mo Dao Army, the blockers are invincible, and the flesh and blood are flying! That Yang Jing is even more of a big killing god, I saw him screaming, very excited, a pair of plate axes in his hands flew up and down, slashing people and horses, the stumps of people and horses were flying wildly, and the enemy army that hit him was considered to be unlucky!

The Western Xia soldiers in the fortress were frightened, all of them were pale, and they couldn't help themselves. In less than a quarter of an hour, two thousand Western Xia warriors were slaughtered all over the field by the six hundred Mo sword army led by Yang Jing, and half of the soldiers fell in a pool of blood. The remaining Western Xia soldiers collapsed and turned around and fled towards the fortress, panicking like a lost dog and anxious like a fish that slipped through the net. Yang Jing, who was so killed, actually wanted to pursue, if it wasn't for the sound of the horn from the south bank to stop him, he was afraid that he would not stop until he rushed to the bottom of the fortress.

Yang Jing heard the sound of horns coming from the south bank, his bloodthirsty mood calmed down a little, stopped, and led his six hundred Mo sword troops to line up on the spot to prevent the opponent from raiding again. At this time, the pontoon bridge had been extended to the north bank, and then a dozen sergeants drove a dozen huge wooden stakes into the shore to fix the pontoon bridge, and then the officer in the lead waved to the south bank. Seeing this, Yang Peng knew that the pontoon bridge had been built, so he personally commanded the Xuanjia Army and the 5,000 Yanwang Tiejia to cross the Wujia River, and the other troops came one after another.

The remnants of the Western Xia cavalry fled into the fortress and were terrified. The captain ran to the city wall, knelt down with a plop on Wei Mingtai, and pleaded guilty with a face full of shame: "General, the last general is incompetent and failed to prevent the opponent from crossing the river!" ”

Wei Mingtai saw all the battle situation just now, knowing that the defeat was really not the fault of the commander of ten thousand people, the efficiency and means of the Yanyun army's engineering operations were far beyond imagination, and those Mo Dao Army were even more unstoppable monsters, not to mention the light cavalry, even if it was the most elite Iron Harrier heavy armored cavalry in the Great Xia Kingdom, it would be difficult to please those Mo Dao Army. Turning his head to look at Captain Wan, he saw that he was covered in blood, so he asked, "Are you hurt?" ”

Captain Wan shook his head, "The last general has only suffered a small injury, don't worry!" Wei Mingtai said: "You go down to heal and rest first." The captain answered and ran down. Wei Mingtai turned his head to look at the Wujia River, only to see that Yanyun's army was coming in a steady stream, he was worried and anxious, and he didn't know what to do, he felt like a kite with a broken string, and he didn't know what to do at all.

Yan Yunjun crossed the Wujia River, did not rest, and immediately approached the Wolf Mountain Fortress to challenge in formation. Wei Mingtai had long known the power of Yan Yun's fierce generals, and he did not go out of the village to fight, closed the door of the village, and only regarded the other party's insults and provocations as if he had not heard or seen them. Yang Jing, who challenged in front of the two sides, scolded hoarsely, and didn't scold the Xixia people, he was annoyed and bored, so he returned to the middle of the military formation, and said to Yang Peng angrily: "Big brother, those guys are shrunken turtles, they just don't come out, attack them!" ”

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