013 The Foreign Monks Guarding the City
The battlefield situation was ever-changing. From the time Yang Jian roared out to the defeat of the Xixia cavalry, it took only a short time for the Xia Linqiang infantry to rush to the front of the battle.
The Xixia cavalry was defeated by Wu Song, the horses were in chaos, and their performance was abnormal, but the Linqiang infantry was not restricted. Linqiang soldiers are the best warriors of the Dangxiang tribe. They are brave and good at fighting. They are spearmen in front and swordsmen and axemen in the back. They are wearing golden vine armor and cannot be killed with one or two swords. If you are surrounded by a dozen Linqiang soldiers, armed with swords and spears, no matter how good your martial arts skills are, they will not be able to withstand you.
The Third Army on the right wing of the Tiger Wing encountered the Linqiang soldiers. The two forces collided together like a flood. The sound of killing suddenly began, and even the sound of the war drums on the battlefield was muffled.
As soon as Wu Song and the others rushed into the enemy formation, they were stopped in their tracks. Looking around, they saw enemies in all directions, with countless swords and guns poking at them. The infantry of the Third Army also followed the big flag and came to fight. The two sides were stalemate near the big flag. The sound of killing was loud. In just a moment, the ground was covered with a layer of corpses. Blood seeped into the ground. If you step on it, it would be half a foot thick. of mud.
The battlefield, which was two to three miles wide and three hundred meters wide, was like a giant meat grinder, throwing soldiers from both countries into it and stirring it up vigorously.
Even if Wu Song and others wanted to take a step forward, they would still have to work hard. Yang Jian had no choice but to stick the flag in the pool of blood, draw out his swords and fight again. Ruda danced the crescent shovel like a windmill and smashed it here and there. At this time, the power of the heavy weapon was revealed. Others could not be killed with a single slash, but Tihath lost half of his head when the shovel went down.
Relying on his strength, Wu Song hacked to death more than a dozen Linqiang soldiers, but the blade rolled over and could no longer be used, so he had to throw away the plain knife and pull out the Liuli Master Sword. Swords are not suitable for use on the battlefield. Swords are mainly used for piercing and are light and agile. Once the sword is stabbed, the enemy may not die immediately. It is not as refreshing as a steel sword. Wu Song does not like swordsmanship very much, so he regards this sword as a sword. Chop left and right.
The sword of Lord Liuli was extremely sharp. Cutting the vine armor of the Lin Qiang soldiers was like cutting tofu. With a little more strength, he cut the people into two pieces.
However, the sword was too heavy. After Wu Song killed for a while, he felt his right arm was sore and weak. The enemies around him seemed endless and he could not kill them all. As soon as he handed the sword to his left hand, he was shot in the thigh.
There were too many Linqiang soldiers and their fighting power was too strong. There were fewer and fewer Song soldiers around them, and the pressure faced by Wu and Song was getting heavier and heavier. But at this moment, they could neither advance nor retreat. Yang Jian cursed: "That turtle Zhang Kai Son, if you don’t send troops, our family will sacrifice the bone flags!”
Under the banner of the Central Army of the Song Army, Zhang Kai and other top generals had their eyes flashing, watching the battlefield closely. The third army on the right was originally an abandoned pawn, but they did not expect it to play such a big role. This made them unexpected. The impressions of the three people were greatly improved. Guo Cheng even praised: "These three people are really the best generals in the world, which is admirable!"
When the Xixia cavalry was in chaos, Zhe Keshi asked the cavalry to go out to fight, but was stopped by Zhang Kai, who was waiting for the best time to attack. When the infantry on both sides encountered each other, Guo Cheng couldn't hold it anymore and asked the cavalry to fight again. Zhang Kai was also quite moved. He glanced at Zhong Shidao and said, "What do you think, Shidao?"
In his opinion, the Linqiang soldiers were briefly blocked by the Third Army. At this time, the Song Army's cavalry entered the battlefield and cut through the Xia Army in one fell swoop, splitting it into several battlefields and charging back and forth. It was a rare good opportunity!
Zhong Shidao's eyes were not on the battlefield, but on the mountains on both sides, he shook his head and said, "Wait a little longer."
Zhe Keshi shouted: "How long do we have to wait? Commander Zhang, you have the final say here, give the order!" Guo Cheng also urged Zhang Kai to order the attack. Zhang Kai hesitated and said, "What are you waiting for, Shi Dao?"
Zhong Shidao pointed to the hills on both sides of Wuyan Gorge and said, "Wait until the Xia Kingdom guards above rush down."
Zhang Kai and others immediately calmed down. On the hills on both sides of Wuyan Gorge, there were still thousands of Xixia cavalry ready to move. If those soldiers and horses entered the battlefield when the Song cavalry charged, the outcome would be really unpredictable.
"Dangxiang's horses are the best war horses. If they swoop down from the mountain, they will be unstoppable, and the advantage we created before will no longer exist." Master Zhongdao frowned and said, "We must let them rush down. Only the cavalry can attack!"
Zhang Kai also frowned and said, "I'm afraid Supervisor Yang, Commander Wu and others won't be able to support them."
Zhong Shidao resolutely said: "Then send another five thousand infantry into the battlefield. This bait is enough to make the defenders on the mountain want to swallow it!"
Zhang Kai and others were silent. Investing five thousand troops to fight the Linqiang soldiers at this time was tantamount to letting these soldiers die, but the current situation could only be like this.
Zhe Keshi said: "I'll go!" Without waiting for orders from Zhang Kai and others, he ordered five thousand infantrymen and rushed into the battlefield to support Yang Jian's third army on the right side.
Zhe Keshi's five thousand troops greatly alleviated the pressure on Wu Song and others. However, the battle had been going on for a long time and many of the soldiers were disabled. All those with fighting ability surrounded the banner and fought to the death. Only six commanders were left. Between Lu Da and Wu Song, Yang Jian was trapped in the middle, so he was the safest.
The Xixia defenders on the hills on both sides of Wuyan Gorge finally couldn't hold it any longer and rushed down from the mountains with their horses, aiming directly at Zhe Keshi's five thousand infantry!
Zhang Kai and Zhong Shidao met, and his spirits were lifted. Guo Cheng did not wait for Zhang Kai's order, so he sent out the cavalry, one on the left and one on the right, with five thousand troops each, and rumbled straight towards the Xixia cavalry, while Zhang Kai You Zhongshi Daoze drives the remaining infantry and assaults the battlefield head-on!
When the cavalry of the two countries were about to meet, Guo Cheng divided the cavalry into two units to intercept the Xixia defenders respectively, not to kill the enemy, but to stop them for a while. The remaining two cavalry were like two sharp knives, fiercely stabbing into the abdomen of the Linqiang soldiers, just like two giant dragons, tearing the battlefield apart alive!
The two teams of cavalry cut back and forth, splitting the entire battlefield into several small pieces. The infantry led by Zong Shidao immediately filled these gaps. The entire battlefield was no longer a surprise war, but a siege, and the Xixia soldiers completely lost their advantages!
In such a large battlefield, personal force is extremely neglected. Only the commander who takes charge of the overall situation is the soul center of the entire battlefield. With famous generals like Zong Shidao and Zhang Yu in the Song State, how could Xixia not be defeated?
The Xixia military supervisor Mei Le Du Bu saw that the situation was over, and was surrounded by hundreds of tiger cavalry and fled to the city. Once the main general fled, the remaining soldiers had no intention of fighting, and ran away after him. Guo Cheng saw an opportunity and led a thousand cavalrymen to chase after him and kill him, trying to expand the results of the battle.
Guo Cheng just saw the back of Mai Le Du Bu and was overjoyed: "Catching him is better than killing a hundred generals!" Just as he was about to spur his horse to chase him, the horse under his crotch suddenly fell to the ground and threw Guo Cheng out. At the same time, it was not only Guo Cheng who fell off the horse, but also the hundreds of cavalrymen who were accompanying him.
Guo Cheng got up dazed and saw three big men running past him, Yang Jian in front, Lu Da in the back, and Wu Song in the middle. The target was also Mai Le Du Bu!
The three men ran at full speed, three times faster than the horses. Lu Da shouted in a loud voice: "The one under the central army must be the main general. Killing him will be a great achievement!"
The three men, like three wild bulls, rushed straight to the gate of Meiyanxia!
Guo Cheng was shocked: "What a three-man army! Comparing people is infuriating. The physical strength of these three bastards is too amazing!" Many of his cavalrymen were killed in the fall, and many of their horses broke their legs and could not be ridden. Guo Cheng had to wait for a while for other cavalrymen to catch up, and then he reorganized the team a little, galloped, and rushed straight to Meiyan Gorge, taking advantage of this opportunity to seize the natural moat leading to Xianbokou in one fell swoop!
Yang Jian ran the fastest, but just as he caught up with Mai Le Du Bu's horse, he was forced back by a flash of sword. Wu Song's speed was slightly slower than his, and he laughed loudly, ran past him, and the sword in his hand suddenly flashed, cutting off more than a dozen heavy weapons.
Yang Jian said angrily: "Don't be so proud, if I had offered the white bone banner, I would have succeeded long ago!"
"If you have the guts, then offer it!"
"Damn it, if I had the guts, would I still be a eunuch in the palace?"
Mailedubu was frightened to death by the two men. Relying on his fast horse, he rushed into the city first and shouted: "Raise the suspension bridge! Raise the suspension bridge!"
Wu Song killed two generals in a row and rushed to the suspension bridge. After hearing this, he immediately swung his sword to cut the iron chain of the suspension bridge. Yang Jian and Lu Da took the opportunity to rush to the bridge. The three of them fought back the soldiers who rushed up. Wu Song suddenly ran towards the city like a big insect. Yang Jian's body movements were even more bizarre. He dodged several times and rushed to the horse of Mai Le Du Bu. He pulled him off the horse and laughed shrilly: "The credit belongs to me!"
Almost at the same time, Wu Song's sword was also placed on Mai Le Du Bu's neck: "Nonsense, I caught him alive first!"
Yang Jian was furious: "Nonsense, it was obviously me who pulled him off the horse first!"
"But my sword is more threatening!"
The two were competing for the great achievement of capturing the enemy commander alive, but a crescent shovel suddenly flew over and shoveled Mai Le Du Bu's head off, scaring the Xixia soldiers who were about to rescue the commander away!
Lu Da quickly tied the head of Mai Le Du Bu to his belt and laughed, "Go ahead and grab it. The credit belongs to me!"
Wu Song and Yang Jian were so angry that they vomited blood: "How could you kill him? Capturing him alive is a credit. Taking him to Beijing to see the emperor is such a great honor! You have ruined the future of the three of us!"
Luda scratched his head and said hesitantly, "It was easy to grab him, so I forgot about it. I have to capture Wei Ming Amai alive next time. You have to remind me, so that I won't be grabbed again... …”
The two were about to open their mouths and curse, when suddenly a black fog enveloped the entire city gate, and then a powerful voice said: "Don't be alarmed, soldiers, go up to the city wall, and let me deal with these three people. After they are eliminated, I will do something to drive away the Song soldiers!"
"Holy monk!" When the Xixia soldiers heard this voice, they calmed down in the blink of an eye, shouted loudly, and didn't care about the death of their commander at all. They rushed to the city wall and started the defense work in an orderly manner.
