The Rise of the Song People of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 848
The confrontation between the iron kite and the sharp gold cavalry is the first appearance of the armored heavy cavalry of the Song Dynasty.

In the duel of iron armor on the battlefield, the torrent of steel on both sides collided and turned their backs instantly, and the Song side had a standard mace.

The iron kite weapons of the Xixia people are various and varied, such as bone sticks, axes, and maces, but one thing is heavy weapons.

If it’s just a duel between heavy cavalry and heavy cavalry, the most important thing is that the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road. However, as mentioned above, the single function of heavy cavalry is the role of a bulldozer, and it needs the cooperation of other arms to exert its greatest power.

But now that the ace's iron kite is matched by Da Song's Rui Jinqi, there are other factors left to look at this battle.

Both the left and right wings of the Xixia army were disabled, especially the right wing was almost wiped out, and the Chinese army was also at a disadvantage in the chaotic battle.

"The whole army charge! Outflank and surround them on both wings!" Just as the torrent of steel was facing the army, the left and right wings had absolutely gained the upper hand. Zhuge Liang ordered the whole army to charge and completely win the battle with superior strength.

I saw Yue Sheng, Yun Tianbiao, Shan Shiqi, Yang Qin, Chen Liqing, and Chen Xizhen, all the generals in the army, who were already hungry and thirsty, led their troops to attack the chaotic war, causing further oppression. The legion is responsible for outflanking and encircling the Xixia army as two wings.

Zhuge Liang keenly grasped the fighting opportunity. At this time, although the Xixia army still had the strength to fight, it had already revealed its defeat!

If Zi Yachai, Zan Tianwang and others insist on not retreating, they will only be wiped out after being surrounded by the infantry of the Song Dynasty, and if the morale suffocated by the order to retreat is completely discouraged, a big defeat will inevitably affect the morale in the city. Fatal blow.

Some people wonder, then this war must be won?

Of course, it is not that experienced ordinary generals have countermeasures. For example, the probability of the defending army going out of the city with reinforcements to support the defeat is not very high, but it is relatively safe to retreat into the city slowly to reduce losses and control morale.

If a famous general is commanding outside the city, in such a battle situation, the army outside the city will choose to break through the encirclement to seek opportunities for a surprise attack outside, or go to Fuping to break through the encirclement. Breaking out of the siege and attacking outside the city is still very sure.

However, the marshal of the Xixia army outside the city is Zan Tianwang. Although this person is a contender for the number one master of Xixia with high martial arts skills, he is only in the middle for the army. Instead, they will choose to fight to the death.

This was fully reflected in the fact that he was entangled tightly by Lu Wenlong as the marshal at the beginning of the war!

That's right, the commander-in-chief of Xixia and the strongest martial artist, and also Xixia's big killer, a sharp blade was tightly controlled by Lu Wenlong, which was also the key to this battle!

It can be said that the three strongest arrows of Zan Tianwang, Xingxing Luohai, and Wugesong Xixia, one was entangled by Lu Wenlong, the other was smashed by Cao Kerang, and the last one was directly beheaded by Gao Chong is the key to this victory. .

"Kill!" The gate of Lian County opened wide, and the Xi Xia elite infantry Bu Bazi, led by Ye Li Yuqi, rushed out, apparently to meet the defeated army.

Yeli Yuqi deserves to be one of the most famous generals in Xixia, known as Yeluxiu brother of Xixia. When Zhuge Liang ordered the whole army to charge, he judged that the battle had been defeated. Instead, he was thinking about how to retain his combat power, and left behind his younger brother Yeli Wangrong Garrison the city to prevent the Song army from attacking and stealing the city.

Because Zhuge Liang's many cavalry could not rush out to gain an advantage, the rest was passive defense. It can be said that the northern line has fallen into an absolutely unfavorable situation. Yeli Yuqi can already predict that Fuping will be an isolated city once it breaks Lian County.

No matter what, Yeli Yuqi has made the most correct choice, how much can be withdrawn by maintaining the strength of the cavalry, after the existence of the cavalry, you can break through, otherwise you will be trapped in the city in the later stage, but Da Song has cavalry, two legs It is an eternal truth that you can never run on four legs.

"Kill!" Ken quickly walked Bazi and the elite of Song Dynasty to fight together. Yeli Wangrong found Ziyachairang who was in command, found King Zantian, and personally began to command the army to retreat slowly.

As the opponent, Zhuge Liang looked at the enemy general with admiration. This level of reflection and correct response made Zhuge Liang look at it. The opponent is not easy. It seems that some means are needed to win Lian County.

With the new force of wild profit and beggars, the defeat of the Xixia army gradually stabilized. After Yizan Tianwang, Xingxing Luohai and the iron kite were broken, the Xixia army retreated to Lian County. The crossbowmen and crossbowmen continued to shoot and kill from a long distance, while the infantry regiment followed closely behind.

Soon Yeli Yuqi pushed him under the attack range of the city, and Yeli Wangrong ordered the archers on the city wall to shoot arrows to help the queen. At this time, 'Dang!when!when! 'The sound of the golden gong came and Zhuge Liang ordered Ming Jin to withdraw his troops.

After the battle of Yeli Yuqi, the statistics show that Xixia lost more than 6000 light cavalry in a big battle, half of the iron kite was damaged in the battle, Wugesong, Da Mengyang, Xiao Mengyang and other giants died in battle, but the most important thing is to let the Song army Surround the city first and no longer in your own hands.

After Zhuge Liang won the victory, he surrounded Lian County with three points, three gaps and one death. Yang Yanping, Yang Yansi, Qubei, Wu Li and other cavalry were ambushed in the gap at the south gate, which had no effect on the siege cavalry. However, if Yeli encounters beggars to break through, he will face a fatal blow.

After Zhuge Liang led the army to encircle Lian County, he began to have people assemble siege equipment such as stone catapults, punching carts, and Lugong vehicles. Shi Ji, judging by the means of today's enemy generals, although Ye Liyuqi was forced into his pocket, it seems that there is still a lot of work to be done to completely take it down.

The Battle of Lian County means that the Song Army has officially broken through the northern line of defense!
Zhuge Liang set up the siege equipment in Lian County, let alone the siege equipment, and turned his attention to Lao Niu's army marching southward. Niu Gao commanded three legions, including Tianzi Zhongjun, Shi Bao, Murong Yanzhao, and Li Jilong, with a total of more than 8 troops. The people are equal to the troops of Zhuge Liang's army.

When Lao Niu led his troops to set off, Zhuge Liang's army was fighting with the Xixia people. Shi Bao also asked: "Commander, do you want to fight back and help Marshal Zhuge?"

The old cow said carelessly: "No need! That kid is smart! Those Xixia people are no match for that kid!"

Lao Niu had a posture of pretending to be X and not turning back. It took eight days to arrive in Fuping and began to besiege the city.

The two brothers Yeli Yuqi and Yeli Wangrong pushed the line of defense to Lian County. Fuping was like a beautiful woman without the slightest defense. Fuping City was broken by Lao Niu with just one bucket. It only lasted for two days. As Li Yuqi expected, the northern line of the Xixia people completely fell into Lian County and became an isolated city!
