Chapter 62: Iron Armor Shura
Yun Yifan looked at the besieged Bai Qiuyang, frowned slightly, and said coldly: "Ning Xue'er, you take two thousand cavalry to pick him up, don't fight!"
"Yes!" When she turned around, the strand of red hair on Ning Xue'er's forehead rose slightly, showing a different style.
Unlike Bai Qiuyang, the cavalry led by Ning Xue'er was full of women, wearing blood-red battle armor, and even the banner in her hand was a blood-red Vermilion Bird. The two thousand iron horsemen rushed towards the Great Xia soldiers like a blood-colored torrent, although they were still a few miles away, but the murderous aura that was pressing the soul seemed to rush to the front of them.
For some reason, as soon as the Chinese army ordered the flag waved, the Great Xia soldiers spread out to both sides, but Bai Qiuyang, who had already been surrounded, was released, Bai Qiuyang was vigilant in his heart, but he couldn't take care of it much, and rushed out with the remaining cavalry of less than two thousand to meet Ning Xue'er.
Ning Xue'er looked at the cavalry behind Bai Qiuyang who had lost their armor and were disheveled, she couldn't help frowning, glanced at Bai Qiuyang with some contempt, didn't speak, and ran back towards Heyang City.
As soon as Bai Qiuyang returned to the city, he couldn't wait to rush up to the city tower, and without waiting for Yun Yifan to ask, he opened his mouth first and shouted: "General, the big thing is not good, the person who leads the army is not Xia Xuehan at all!"
"What!" Yun Yifan suddenly turned his head, two incredible looks shot out of his eyes, and he secretly miscalculated in his heart.
"Oops, Nan'an is in danger!" Yun Yifan was stunned, he actually miscalculated, he just sent a general to Heyang to attack the city, he didn't plan to take Heyang City at all, but to buy time for him to capture Nan'an, although Ren Tianxing, who was guarding the first-line gorge, was a famous general, but how could he be Xia Xuehan's opponent, as long as he crossed the first-line gorge, then Nan'an would be unimpeded, and it would be easy to capture the city.
"Hmph, what if he captures Nan'an, I want to annihilate the 20,000 troops here!" Yun Yifan sneered, looked back and said, "Ning Xue'er, you first lead 10,000 iron-armored Shura to attack forward, and fight closely, so that his bow and crossbow can't work; Bai Qiuyang, you lead 10,000 light horsemen, guarding on all sides with iron thistles, don't let go of one!"
"Yes!"
After a while, I saw dozens of chariots rushed out of Heyang City by horse-pulled, the chariot was two zhang square, and it could accommodate about a dozen people, and the chariot was covered with iron armor except for a few air holes, and it was densely embedded with sharp iron thorns that were two feet long, and there were barbs on the iron thorns. The cart was drawn by four horses, all of which were covered with iron except for their eyes, and they were invulnerable to swords and guns.
Dozens of ironclad Shura rushed towards the soldiers of the Xia Kingdom, looking at the momentum of the mountains and seas, even the soldiers who were brave and loyal and fearless of death couldn't help but take a few steps back and swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
Standing in front of the team was Qi Henghai, who was dressed in silver-gray battle armor, he raised his lance horizontally, looking at the rushing chariot, the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching, and the words Xia Xuehan said before leaving sounded in his ears.
"Yun Yifan expected that I would attack Heyang, so he would personally defend in Heyang, but I just attacked Nan'an, this Yun Yifan is not an ordinary person, you must not approach the city, just block the way he must go out of the city!"
"The battlefield is changing rapidly, and it's useless for me to tell you too much, just improvise. But only be careful of his iron armor Shura, that thing is indestructible, although I have a way to restrain it, but I don't have time to prepare in a hurry, you have more tripping horses, hook and sickles, as long as he makes his iron horse fall to the ground, half the work will be done!"
When Qi Henghai was thinking about it, Ning Xue'er had already led dozens of ironclad chariots to rush dozens of feet in front of him, Qi Henghai raised his arms and shouted: "Don't mess up, all the soldiers, divide 3,000 volts on both sides of the road, trip the war horse with a tripping horse, and then divide 3,000 to scratch the horse's legs with a hook and sickle!" These 30,000 troops are also well-trained, and they are ready with just one order.
"Boom!"
There was a loud bang like thunder piercing the sky, and one of the chariots in front of him was tripped along with the horse, because it was so violent, that it flipped in the air for several weeks before it landed, and after a loud bang, the snow was pouring down, and a large hole was smashed into the ground, and the horse struggled desperately in the snow, and was helplessly pulled by the reins, and could not get up.
On the other side, there were also a few chariots that were tripped, but the Liao army was menacing, and this tripping rope was pulled by people, so it was impossible to cover everything, and after all, five or six chariots were missed. I saw that where the chariot rushed over, the soldiers of the Xia Kingdom avoided it, and were cut through the belly by the sharp iron thorns, pulling out the intestines, and the horse was castrated, dragging the man to gallop in the snow.
The war horse was wrapped in iron sheets, slashing and stabbing guns were ineffective, and a bold Xia soldier rushed to the front of the war horse, wanting to blind the eyes of the war horse, not wanting the war horse to come too fast, and before he could stand firm, four horses rushed over with the momentum of thunder.
"Bang!"
With a loud bang, the soldier was knocked two or three feet away, blood gushing out of his body as if he had burst an embankment, and even his bones and internal organs were shattered, and he could hardly find an inch of intact place on his body.
The iron horse and iron chariot were really like Shura, no one could take care of it, and everywhere it passed, flesh and blood flew everywhere, and in an instant, a hundred and ten soldiers died tragically. Dozens of people were also carried by the iron spikes on the chariot, and they struggled on the speeding chariot, and the red blood flowed down the chariot like a stream, and the chariot drove by, leaving two red rut marks behind it.
"Yun Yifan is in Heyang City, you must be unhappy, but you must hold on for two hours after you arrive in Heyang City. I only need three hours to capture Nan'an City, and another hour to rush from Nan'an to the rescue. You must stop Yun Yifan at any cost, and you can't let him reinforce Nan'an, otherwise you will fall short, and both ends will be wiped out!"
"Whether you can win this battle or not depends on your side, I know the price you pay is too great, but if there is another way, I will definitely not do it......"
"General, I know all this, you can rest assured to go, even if I fight for this life, I will be caught by you, that Yun Yifan wants to go over, hum, unless you step on my corpse!"
Xia Xuehan's words were still lingering in his ears, Qi Henghai looked up at the sky, don't say two hours, from the time he rushed to the present, so many people have died, and even half an hour has passed.
Qi Henghai's silver-gray lance was raised, and he rushed forward with a loud roar, his hair dancing without wind, only to see his hands open to the size of a fan, and grabbed the reins of the war horse in front of a chariot that drove by.
"Whoa......
The four war horses were menacing, dragging Qi Henghai for two or three zhang away, and there were two deep marks on the ground, Qi Henghai shouted, his feet seemed to have roots, and he grabbed the reins. ......The four horses were in pain, lifted their front hooves together, and neighed towards the sky, and the chariot behind was too strong to stop immediately, only to hear a "boom" and hit the war horse in front.
Qi Henghai jumped away in one step, only to see the chariot slammed into the warhorse, and a wail came, and the iron thorns on the chariot had pierced the iron sheet on the warhorse, and the horses lost their vitality after a convulsion. And the people in the chariot were also upside down, and they were hit in the chariot and their noses were bruised and their faces were swollen, and they couldn't join the battlefield for a while.
The soldiers of the Xia Kingdom saw that Qi Henghai overturned a chariot with his own strength, and their morale was greatly shaken, and they stumbled and scythes went into battle together. A hook sickle shot out, impartially hooking the front feet of a war horse, although the horse's feet were also covered with iron armor, but after the hook and sickle, he couldn't help but slow down a few steps, and the pace of other war horses became very different.
In a few moments, he was dragged forward by the other three horses, and he had not gone far, when the slow horse lost its front hooves and fell down with a bang, but it was too fast, and was tied by the reins, and the fallen horse was pulled to the feet of the three galloping horses. With a loud bang, the other three horses also tripped and were thrown to the ground along with the chariot.
But such things are in the minority, and the soldiers must take great risks, because if the time to release the hook and sickle is not right, they will inevitably die with the chariot.
In a short time, the soldiers of Daxia and Daliao had already fallen into a melee, although the chariot was unstoppable, but it was too bulky, and the soldiers of the Xia Kingdom relied on their agility to fight with it.
***
The first line of the gorge has long been covered with snow and ice, and only a deep ravine can be seen in the distance, and some gray-brown rocks can occasionally be seen in places where snow and ice are scarce.
At the end of the day, there was the sound of "rumbling" horses' hooves, and I saw the heavy snow on the ground rising a few feet high, and an army of more than 10,000 people rushed towards this side. Led by a young general in white armor and silver robes, his handsome face is a woman who is ashamed to see it, his eyebrows are a little cold, and he is holding a Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand, cutting through the west wind, dignified and powerful.
square, compare also, painting, beautiful also. Fang Tian's painting halberd, that is, the halberd comparable to the sky, as its name suggests, exquisite, atmospheric, unparalleled in the world, the white tassels sway left and right in the wind, like the noble phoenix feathers, the blade trained by the blue sea platinum blooms with snow-white light, and the single ear is full of cold. The snow-white halberd, the snow-white tassels, and the white-clothed boy holding the halberd are undoubtedly the perfect match in this snow.
The tassel on the weapon is also called the blood block, which is used to decorate the weapon by practicing martial arts for the purpose of strengthening the body, and is used to confuse the enemy's eyes or entangle the opponent's weapon in actual combat, and its role cannot be ignored.
Because the halberd is too fancy and exquisite, it is often used in the ceremonial guard, and there are very few people who can make the halberd, and there are only a handful of people who can use the halberd on the battlefield. Generally, the person who uses Fang Tian's halberd must be strong, and the halberd method is exquisite, in order to give full play to the advantages of the weapon, after being proficient, it can be confronted with heavy weapons, such as competing with bones, hammers, boring, etc., holding the halberd in hand, although thousands of troops and horses dare not get close.
Although the 10,000 troops behind Xia Xuehan were all on horses, each of them was covered with a coat, the snow had stopped, and there was no tendency to fall again, except for Xia Xuehan, no one knew why they did this.
Xia Xuehan held Fang Tian's halberd obliquely, rushing over like a thunderbolt, the first line of the gorge was in front of him, but he had no intention of crossing the first line of the gorge. As soon as the reins were lifted, the snow-white horse under his crotch spread his hooves and was about to go around the back of the canyon.
I don't want the horse to run just ten zhang away, and a large group of Liao soldiers turned out on both sides of the canyon, estimated to be as many as twenty or thirty thousand, and they saw that Xia Xuehan was going to go around the back of the canyon, where was they willing to agree, and rushed over like a black torrent.
"Cheng Da, Luo Feng, Xu Yi, act according to the plan!" Xia Xue didn't look back, just rushed forward to kill, and yelled at the three generals beside him.
As soon as the words fell, a Liao general straddled a horse, danced with a golden steel knife, and roared towards Xia Xuehan, the Khitan people were much stronger than the Han people, and this Liao general was even taller and bigger, and a steel knife danced vigorously. Xia Xuehan didn't even give him a straight eye, the white tassel of Fang Tian's halberd was like the tail wing of a phoenix, slowly slashing through the air, and it was dazzling, swinging the steel knife and slashing it randomly, but before it touched Xia Xuehan's body, the sharp halberd blade had already reached his neck.
The general's face turned pale, and just as he wanted to say something, Xia Xuehan rode forward, taking advantage of the situation, the halberd blade slashed through his neck, and blood sprayed out like water arrows, but what he wanted to say was not said after all.
killed a general with just one move, and both the Liao soldiers and the Xia soldiers were stunned for a long time.
