Changfeng Thousands of Miles End Han Song

Chapter 577 Can't walk away, can't win

The situation on the battlefield is as devastating as the autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves.

The Xixia cavalry, whose horses were pinned down by the black beans on the ground, was no longer a threat at all. Although they had tens of thousands of troops, they were unable to fight back against the five thousand pro-army cavalry who had been preparing for a long time.Besides, the fighting strength of the hussar and the valiant cavalry is not weak in the first place. Even if they set up a formation to counterattack, they may not weaken the party members.

Now he is taking the absolute initiative, and even taught them a lesson.

The army swept through them as if they were chopping melons and vegetables. After the war, the casualties were counted and the casualties of the pro-army cavalry were less than 3000.As for their opponents, tens of thousands of Xixia cavalry were killed, and more than [-] of them were killed. At most one-third of the remaining people ran away, and the rest all surrendered and were captured.

When they came, there were tens of thousands of cavalry, but when they went, only two thousand cavalry were left and fled in a hurry.

Lu Qian looked at the high morale after fighting for a while. The cavalrymen who were still fighting high did not say a word, but just waved their hands, and the black cloud-like cavalry group spread their horseshoes, followed the traces of the fleeing Xixia soldiers, and chased after them. past.

Then the troops in each military camp also organized their troops to attack, with the cavalry going first and the infantry arriving later.

Wei Ming Qu Huai fled in despair and galloped all the way back to the Xixia army stronghold. There were only a thousand cavalry left beside each other.All the rest were dragged on the road.

The speed of the war horse is very fast, but the endurance is also limited. Can An Neng go back and forth for sixty miles in a short period of time without eating or drinking?
Those who only cared about walking quickly during the escape without moving a pair of horses, after running a certain distance and running out of horsepower, wouldn't they be left behind?

There was no fighting in front of Yongle City, not even Xixia soldiers. Lu Junyi saw a group of embarrassed Xixia cavalry rushing toward his camp. He called for the city gate to be opened, so he led his troops to fight against them.

If so, after a collision, Wei Ming Qu Huai's troops lost another two or three hundred riders.

By the time the Liangshan Army cavalry arrived, Li Heda's face was already dark and shiny.He had never seen such a damaging move, nor had he seen such a miserable defeat.Tens of thousands of cavalrymen were cut down by [-]% in less than half an hour.Twenty percent escaped, and the rest were all taken prisoner.

Then half of the [-]% who ran out were lost on the road, and as the remaining half approached the camp, another [-]% was cut off in the blink of an eye...

This is simply a nightmare that never wakes up. When you think you are going to wake up, you will find that you are still in the nightmare; when you think you are awake again, you will find that you are still in the nightmare.That's an endless loop...

Have a look.

Li Heda saw that the situation was not good, and just as he was about to lead his troops away, the Liangshan Army's horse army had already arrived.They lost nearly ten thousand cavalry, and their strength has been greatly reduced. Before, they could still suppress the Liangshan Army - the cavalry was rich in capital, but now it can only be said to be half a pound.This is still only on the surface, not on the inside.

Without these tens of thousands of cavalry troops, their strength has tended to be at a disadvantage.But with more than 5000 cavalry and the defenders in Yongle City staring at him, he really didn't dare to act rashly.But he also knew that at most tomorrow, the main force of the Liangshan Army's infantry would arrive, and what awaited him then would be an ultimate nightmare!

Therefore, the fate of the Xixia Army is constantly spinning in layers of nightmares.

At dawn the next day, at the beginning of the hour, it was already bright.On the horizon, a large army surged out, first a thin line, and in an instant it became a sea of ​​fire.

The sound of war drums came from far to near, one sound after another, one after another, and it rang directly into people's hearts.

There were ten drum carts in Lu Qian's infantry. The strong, bare-chested men held up drumsticks as thick as duck eggs, and they all exerted their strength.

Twenty thousand infantry troops marched to the beat of drums, their crimson shirts forming a sea of ​​red, as if they were an endless sea of ​​fire, from far to near.An overwhelming momentum emerged spontaneously.

On the top of the wall, Orihiko looked at the army arriving from the south, his eyes sparkled with endless excitement.This battle is really going to be safe.

"Open the city gate!" shouted the order. According to the news sent by Lu Qian last night, the soldiers and horses in Yongle City must also organize their troops to fight.

Two thousand five hundred infantrymen filed out and formed the simplest square formation, arrayed on the side of the cavalry.

Li Heda's face was as cold as a Helan mountain stone in the cold winter.This kind of situation where you can't walk, can't get away, fight, can't fight, really makes him angry.He had already sent someone to ask Brother Richard for help, but the high and low hills cut off the communication between the two armies. No matter how timely Brother Richard sent troops, reinforcements would not arrive overnight.

All he can do now is to hold on to the stronghold and hold on until King Jin's reinforcements arrive.

"kill……"

The fighting on the battlefield became intense from the very beginning. The morale of the Liangshan Army was high. Facing the rain of arrows from the Xixia soldiers, the heavily armored knives and axes stepped straight into the Xia army's camp by stepping on the filled trenches.Outside the simple camp, there were only some Juma antlers piled up, most of which were made overnight by the Xixia Army yesterday.How can we stop their progress?
No matter whether they were pulled down with ropes or cut down one by one with an ax and a machete, the remaining thin layer of fence couldn't stop their footsteps.Then the Xixia army rushed over.

The armor of the Xixia people is still quite famous, because their forging skills are cold forging that were eliminated many years ago in the Central Plains.

In later generations, there are still some brain-dead people who admire the cold forging of Xixia, and they are so arrogant, but in essence, cold forging means forging without heating, which is more beneficial to the improvement of material strength, and also saves heating, avoiding the heat loss during the heating process. Oxidation and burning.Seems like a lot of benefits, doesn't it?It's a pity that there is one thing, the material must be first-class.

Regarding the quality of the iron ore in the Han region, after refining the iron nugget, would you try it?That's impossible.

In this way, some people say that the quality of iron ore in China will be known to future generations, and the whole country is garbage.Why can Xixia be cold forged?Isn't that in China?So, people still have high skills and strong technology.

But the fact is that in later generations, there was no iron ore in the Hengshan Mountains. However, in the current season, it is rich in salt and iron, and the Xia people make a living by holding on to it.The iron artifacts unearthed from the Qingtang and Qiang regions in later generations also prove that the steel raw materials there are more corrosion-resistant.

But in any case, the Xixia people's warts and Xia people's sword are still quite powerful.

These people also knew that if they couldn't defend the camp and withstand the impact of the Liangshan Army, they would die.Compared with Hengshan, which stretches for thousands of miles, the mountain road in Hengshan is naturally as thin as a capillary-like trail, but it is also 200 meters wide.It can be crossed by cavalry, the only defect is the rugged mountain road.

How can they escape?
The Liangshan Army is different from the Song Army in that it has abundant cavalry capital.Once defeated, even if they fled into the mountain road, they would not be able to escape the pursuit of the Liangshan Army.

Therefore, they have no choice but to fight hard to survive.In this way, the two sides immediately entered a fierce battle.
