Chapter 959 The Battle to Destroy the Nation (13)
The cavalry entered within 200 paces, which is the killing range of the firecracker, Li Yanqing ordered coldly: "Fireball fire!"
The commander standing on the leftmost side of the team waved down the command flag, and there was a scene of ‘Bang! boom! ’ sound, puffs of white smoke spewed out from the long barrel.
Two hundred steps away, a group of people turned their backs on their backs. Almost all of the first and second rows were shot down. They didn't even raise their shields, and they were shot and fell down without warning.
"Hex!"
Tuobawei yelled in shock, not only his eyes widened, but all the soldiers of the Xixia army also widened their eyes. They were in disbelief. They didn't see an arrow being fired, and their army fell four to five hundred people. .
This was completely beyond their comprehension. Not only Tuoba Wei thought it was black magic, but almost all the soldiers had the same idea.
Li Zhizong and several chiefs looked at each other, with a look of fear in their eyes. No wonder Brother Li Cha suffered a disastrous defeat.
Li Zhizong suddenly felt an indescribable remorse in his heart. He should not have agreed to Li Qianshun as the coach. He had a strong intuition in his heart that he was afraid that his army would not be the opponent of the Song army.
The firecracker army has been withdrawn, Li Yanqing is just an actual combat test today, not actually throwing them into the war.
At this time, the sound of dense clappers rang, and a thousand Song soldiers were divided into three rows, firing arrows in turn, and the overwhelming armor-piercing arrows roared away.
The cavalry of the Xixia army finally reacted. They held up their shields together, resisting the fast-moving arrows. The arrows were nailed to the shields, shaking the hands of the Xixia soldiers, but the Xixia army was too dense, and the arrows penetrated everywhere. , shot from the gap between the shields, shot on the legs, shot on the head, and the Xixia soldiers kept falling to the ground with arrows, but the giant shield blocked most of the arrows and did not cause much damage to the enemy. .
Three rounds of arrows were fired, and the cavalry of the Western Xia Army lost more than a thousand soldiers. At this time, the main force of the army was fifty steps away from the Song Army. Unfavorable, without hesitation, he gave a deep order, "Heavy armored infantry attack!"
Like the chant of a dragon, the three thousand heavy armored infantry roared and pressed down on the Xixia army like a mountain. Their huge heads were like lions, huge and terrifying, and the iron armor on their bodies weighed as much as a thousand catties, covering their whole bodies tightly. Yan Shishi, under the helmet, there is a pair of eyes shining with a terrible light.
A Xueliang Zhanmajian with a handle about ten feet long fluttered in their hands. The blades on both sides were extremely sharp. All of them were wearing heavy armor, with huge shields on their backs, brandishing Zhanma swords, and their cold eyes shot terrifying gazes.
Thirty steps. . . . . Twenty steps. . . . . ten steps. . . . . .
Just like two huge waves, the infantry and cavalry of the two armies collided with each other, stirring up a huge wave, which made the waves bloom and turned into a stormy sea. Slashing fiercely, the swords collided with each other, making the sound of clang and clang.
Song soldiers are all tall and have long arms. Special training has made them proficient in swordsmanship and mighty. They have gradually become the trump card of Jingzhao Army.
The sharp horse-chopping sword split the shield in half, and chopped it on the iron armor, or the head, or the arms. Immediately, the blood arrows shot up into the sky, and the howling and groaning suddenly rose. , the violent Song Army's three thousand battlefronts raced like a storm, trampling everything, overwhelming everything, and invincible everything.
Although they were at a disadvantage in the fight, the Xixia Army relied on several times the number of Song Army and resisted tenaciously. One row fell and the other row topped, maintaining the stability of the array, fighting fiercely with the Song Army.
In the middle of the camp, the two chiefs of a thousand soldiers from Xixia saw that Guan Sheng, the heavy-armored infantry leader of the Song Army, was extremely overbearing. He was like a fierce **** coming to the world. .
Guan Sheng caught a glimpse of these two people early, his eyes were dimly lit, he took a step back abruptly, gave way to the desperate sword, shouted loudly, and pierced the opponent's throat like lightning with the sharp thorn, and lifted the corpse up. Flipping to the ground, the sword of another thousand-man leader had already been cut. It was too late, but soon, he swung his backhand and slashed towards the opponent's sword. Thousands of people were split in half, and the Song army burst into cheers and morale soared.
At this time, Tuoba Wei, the general of the Western Xia Dynasty, was shocked to see that the heavy armored infantry of the Song Army was so strong that 3,000 soldiers were able to defeat his own nearly 9,000 cavalry, and he was shocked.
At this time, Tuobawen stepped forward and said anxiously: "Young Chief, you must either increase your troops or withdraw your troops. We cannot continue to fight, otherwise our entire army will be wiped out."
Tuoba Wei grinned ferociously, "Why would I admit defeat and withdraw the troops? I've been prepared for a long time."
He ordered sternly, "Blow the trumpet, and the whole army of Tuoba is dispatched!"
"Woo—"
Hundreds of horns sounded together, and the deep sound of the horn echoed across the earth.
The 40,000 Tuoba army arrayed in the distance suddenly mobilized, tens of thousands of horses galloped, overwhelming the Song army.
Li Zhizong's face changed drastically. He never expected that Tuobawei would kill the whole army. Didn't this completely disrupt his deployment?
He was not prepared for the whole army to fight at all, and Tuoba Liduo was also anxious, and rushed to Li Zhizong and shouted: "Commander, order them to withdraw immediately, they will be wiped out!"
Li Zhizong suddenly came to his senses and shouted: "Order to withdraw the troops!"
'when! when! when! ’ The bell for the withdrawal of troops rang urgently.
The Tuoba Wen of the former army also feels bad. If the Song Army increases its troops in a large scale, and the other party tribes refuse to increase their troops, their Tuoba tribe will be in danger.
"Little Chief, we must withdraw immediately!"
Tuobawei clenched his teeth, will he make Xifengbie laugh at himself?
He ignored Tuobawen's persuasion and urged his horse to run towards the army. Tuobawen hated and angry, so he had no choice but to follow behind the young chief.
Li Yanqing sneered in the distance. Of course, he couldn't just lead 10,000 people to fight. He did a lot more preparations than the other party.
He then ordered: "Blow the assembly horn!"
"Woo—" Song Jun's horn also sounded, and at the same time, several bursting arrows flew into the sky, exploding in succession in the sky.
The 80,000 Song troops ambushing in the distance came from the east and west at the same time. On one side was the Longxiang army led by Wang Gui, and on the other was the Huben army led by Liu Kai. In particular, Cao Meng led 20,000 cavalry to attack from the rear of the Tuoba army. , cut off their retreat.
Two great armies fought in the wilderness.
Tuoba Wen became more and more anxious. He carefully searched for the Song Army's loopholes. Suddenly, he found that the Song Army's 1,000 crossbow troops were behind the heavy armored infantry, and they kept shooting at Tuoba Army. There were no protective troops around.
Discovering this loophole, Tuobawen immediately informed Tuobawei, and Tuobawei immediately cheered up. He personally led 5,000 cavalry to gallop out, and rushed behind the heavy armored infantry of the Song Army, cutting off the gap between the crossbow army and the cavalry behind. Connection, which also cut off the connection between cavalry and heavy infantry.
At this time, Tuobawen deduced the location of Li Yanqing, and then personally led 2,000 cavalry to attack the Song Army banner from the side.
Here, Li Yanqing, the general of the Song Army, had seen the plot of the cavalry of the Xixia Army, trying to attack the heavy armored infantry from the side. He immediately ordered: "The Gao Chong Department supports the Crossbow Army!"
As soon as he gave an order, the 6,000 cavalry behind him were immediately divided into two columns. Under the leadership of General Gao Chong, they went to meet the Xixia cavalry. Clear, their respective formations are not chaotic.
Suddenly, a soldier shouted loudly, "All look over there!"
Li Yanqing heard the sound and looked, and saw a Xixia cavalry stealthily approaching him along the edge of the battlefield, but he didn't notice it because the speed was very slow.
Li Yanqing would not give the opponent any chance, he immediately led his army to retreat eastward quickly.
Tuobawen had already seen the chief general of the Song army wearing a golden helmet. He knew that it must be the chief general of the Song army at this time, most likely Li Yanqing.
At this moment, a crossbow army of more than 4,000 soldiers rushed out a hundred steps away from the opposite side, blocking their way. The 4,000 crossbow troops raised their crossbows together and aimed at Tuobawen and his 2,000 cavalry.
Zhang Wei, the commander of the Song Army, gave an order, and the powerful crossbow array was launched. Four thousand god-armed crossbows were fired at the same time, and a dense rain of arrows rose into the sky, forming a long black arrow cloud in the air, which instantly turned black. At one point, two thousand Xixia cavalry shot at the two thousand Xixia cavalry, and the Xixia cavalry raised their shields to meet them.
The **** arm crossbow is worthy of dominating the world. It not only has a long range, but also is powerful. Ordinary shields and leather armor can't resist it at all, especially when thrown from the air. When the arrow falls, it has its own gravity, making the wooden shield of Xixia cavalry It became a decoration.
The powerful and heavy armor-piercing crossbow arrows pierced through the shields of the cavalrymen and pierced the leather armor. Breathless, the long arrow chichi fell, piercing the shield, piercing the face and chest of the enemy,
Tuobawen couldn't retreat in time, and was hit by dozens of arrows in a row, and fell off the horse and died tragically on the spot.
