52. The two armies show their power in front of the battle
..
..
In the past, wars between the Song and Jin Dynasties often started with the generals of both sides fighting each other, winning or losing. In many cases, the outcome of the battle was determined. Ordinary soldiers did not bear much pressure. However, the death-defying battles in Mongolia were the most cruel, with a thousand soldiers
A naked killing of a thousand soldiers, with no prisoners or wounded. Even if they knelt down and begged, they had to kill all the enemies before it could end.
But the Song army had to send troops to fight. Even if all the soldiers and horses sent were killed, compared with the consequences of not daring to fight, they could still accept it. At least they would lose the battle but not the people. Otherwise, the blow to morale would be catastrophic.
.When two armies are fighting, the one who loses his courage first will be defeated!
Therefore, after seeing the city gate open from a distance and a group of red-tasseled soap-armored cavalry charging out, Liu Meng was still puzzled and thought to himself: Guo Jing is not a person who likes to win with force, so how did he fall for the enemy's provocation?
Seeing the sound of fighting in the battle formation, the dust and smoke billowing, and the situation there could no longer be seen clearly. Liu Meng's heart moved, but he found a way to enter Xiangyang City.
Turning around and sneaking down the hillside, the cat was hiding in the grass at human height. He waited until a small team passed by to detect the horses, and immediately rushed out. Liu Meng used all his strength, and shot the iron snake cone wildly in the air, killing the first two cavalry in an instant, and then turned.
He landed on the back of a horse and conveniently sealed the vital points of the man on the horse. Then he extended his sword and drove the horse forward, stabbing the remaining three riders under the horse in one glance.
Hiding behind the restrained Tan Ma, Liu Meng ignored the unmanned war horses running around, urged the horse's belly, and galloped straight towards the camp gate. Each team of Tan Ma was equipped with an emergency military intelligence sign. When Liu Meng was in Xiangyang City,
After hearing what Ding Qi said, Liu Meng immediately took out the red flag and held it in his hand. After Liu Meng galloped into the camp gate, no one came to stop him.
According to Mongolian military law, anyone who intercepts a horse in a hurry during war will be beheaded without justifiable reasons afterwards, regardless of official position.
As a result, the Mongolian army camp was tightly defended. A detective horse was galloping on the central horse road holding a red command flag, with a man in blue on his back, but he did not know that there was any important military information that needed to be reported immediately. The captain in charge of the guard also
He kindly sent two fast horses to help clear the way, so Liu Meng drove straight in without anyone daring to stop him.
On the battlefield in front of the city gate, two teams of cavalry were entangled and a fierce battle was going on.
The cavalry of the Xiangyang Song Army in this battle are the foundation of the Youyi Army left by Grandpa Yue Wu and Mu Yue. Although they are not as brave as they used to be, in today's Central Plains, they are also the strongest cavalry army. However, the country's weak army is weak.
, after years of fighting, the vitality was gradually depleted and could not be replenished at all. Coupled with the continuous fighting, the men and horses were exhausted, and they were gradually at a disadvantage.
Leading the troops to control Niu Fu, he roared like thunder, and his scarlet cloak was soaked with blood. He picked off several Mongolian ten-captains with a spear in his hand, and then gathered dozens of soldiers around him. Just when he was about to launch a desperate fight, he suddenly saw a formation of enemy troops.
There was a commotion. A cavalry galloped out from behind the formation, regardless of the shouts of the Mongolian troops behind them, and headed straight towards the battlefield where the fighting was taking place.
The light cavalry leather armor and the red command flag are the urgent reporting horses in the Mongolian army! Why did he come to the battlefield instead of reporting the enemy's situation to the commander of the Central Army? Did he actually get dizzy while running?
Niu Fu only hesitated for a moment before ordering his bodyguards to meet him immediately. While this scout was in the wrong place, he must not be allowed to escape with the information!
However, something surprising happened to both sides. In front of tens of thousands of armies on both sides, the cavalryman rushed to the battlefield, ignoring his colleagues' attempts to stop him. Suddenly, with a flash of sword light, he blocked the horse that wanted to stop it.
Two Mongolian cavalrymen were stabbed to death on the spot.
Everyone was in an uproar! The Song army watching the battle on top of the city, and the Mongolian army waiting in formation to attack, all exclaimed in unison.
Surrendering to the enemy on the battlefield? Before anyone could react, a blue-robed figure suddenly flashed out from behind the Tanma, leaped up like a big bird, and rushed straight into the group of cavalry. The sword light flashed continuously. Mongolia
The cavalrymen on one side fell off their horses one after another like dumplings.
He's from Song Dynasty!
The black-armored general of the Mongolian cavalry was stunned. How could his own Tanma lead the Song people into the battlefield? It seemed that his skill was clearly a first-class master in the world. Waiting for something bad to happen, he ordered his men to disperse the formation and use bows and arrows to attack.
When the enemy fired the interception, the blue-robed figure had already penetrated the perimeter, grabbed a horse and joined the Song army.
It's one of our own!
Niu Fu and others cheered loudly with joy, and their morale was boosted. Taking advantage of the enemy's panic, they successfully gathered another hundred soldiers. Niu Fu laughed and greeted the blue-robed master. He saw that the opponent's face was delicate and his eyes were like paint.
, vaguely looked familiar, and immediately shouted: "Niu Fu will never forget the kindness of the rescue. I also ask the hero to tell me his name, so that he can repay the commander and mark his benefactor."
The young man in blue robe grinned, his white teeth shining brightly, and said: "I'm Liu Meng, the coach of the Xiangyang regiment training envoy. We, as a family, don't need to talk to each other."
Seeing his comrades in crisis, a sudden change occurred, which suddenly turned the tide of the battle. The Song troops watching the battle on top of the city were all jubilant, and even the military drums were beating, shocking like thunder, arousing the hope of all the troops.
.
Only 20% of the Song army's thousand cavalry remained, and more than half of the Mongolian Tatars were lost. In addition, their morale was frustrated, so they gathered together and did not dare to take the initiative to charge. Niu Fu lifted his blood-red cloak and said with a grin: "Tatars
The momentum has been exhausted, we must move faster, the mother-in-law is still waiting for Lao Niu to come home for dinner!"
All the soldiers laughed loudly. General Niu was famous for being afraid of his wife in Xiangyang City. But when he said it now, he was so heroic that no one looked down upon him. Niu Fu hit the big gun with his hand and shouted
: "Brothers! You Yi Wudi! Kill!"
"You Yi Wudi! Kill! Kill!" The remaining two hundred cavalry roared together, their spears raised like a forest. Under the leadership of Commander Niu Fu, they crashed into the Mongolian cavalry like a blood-red storm. The sound of killing was like
Lei's momentum was like a rainbow. Liu Meng's blood was also stirred up. He felt that the sword in his hand was short and it was not enough to kill him on horseback. He immediately picked up a long spear and used his internal strength without caring about any moves. He would pick at the chest and smash at the head.
, killing three people in the blink of an eye.
The soldiers who could participate in the death-defying battle were all brave and brave. After the initial panic, the Mongolian cavalry immediately stabilized their position. The black-armored general also adjusted his strategy in time, taking advantage of the large number of people to forcibly cut the Song army's formation into two and divide it.
Surrounded, wanting to eat them one by one.
At this time, the cavalry of both sides were intertwined, and there was an enemy among us. It was difficult for the Mongolian army to use its best riding and shooting skills, but it gave Liu Meng an opportunity to show off his skills. He raised his spear and took a look at a hundred men wielding maces.
The captain-looking Tatar suddenly threw it out with 100% of his internal strength. The spear, with an afterimage behind it, made a whine and pierced through both the man and the horse.
Good idea! Liu Meng then picked up an iron spear from the ground, used his inner strength to throw it suddenly, and shot another centurion who was wielding a copper rod off his horse. Who can resist the power of the throw? There are smart people around him.
The cavalryman immediately handed over the spear in his hand. Liu Meng took it and threw it with all his strength. The Tatar on the other side fell to the ground.
Immediately, four or five cavalrymen swarmed forward and handed over their spears. When Liu Meng finished throwing them, he bent down and picked them up from the ground. Looking at his posture, he looked like a loader in later generations. And the particularly clever cavalryman even took the initiative to look for it.
The most dangerous enemy troops shouted to remind Liu Meng to kill this one first and then that one. Every time Liu Meng flew, the cavalry around him cheered. When more than ten people were shot to death, they were finally killed.
Discovered by the Tatar black-armored general.
Looking at the enemy charging at him wielding a long-handled ghost-headed sword, Liu Meng sneered and thought to himself: If you hide behind my men, I really can't do anything to you, but if you run out to die on your own, you can only blame yourself for your life.
Not good.
He weighed the spear in his hand, aimed at the decorated war horse ridden by the black-armored general, and threw it violently. "Shoot the man first, shoot the horse!" Liu Meng didn't understand this simple truth. When he heard the cheers of the cavalry around him, Liu Meng
Meng took another spear, this time aimed at the black figure rolling down in a panic, and threw it at the ground.
Bing Guo! Another hit! The spear that whizzed towards me pierced through the chest like a piece of tofu. The tip of the spear kept its momentum and plunged into the ground, pinning the black-armored general to the ground.
"Okay!" There was a roar, and the Song troops watching the battle on the top of the city cheered in unison. Taking advantage of the enemy's panic, Liu Meng rushed over with the cavalry around him, cut off the head of the black-armored general, and put it on the tip of his spear.
Lift it high to show the public.
Over there, Niu Fu was shouting and shouting, and with a big gun dancing tightly, he led the cavalry to stop the Tatars in turn, preventing them from supporting the rear team who were being tortured by Liu Meng. Soon, the situation began to reverse.
, the leading general and several centurions had all died tragically, and the remaining less than four hundred Tatar cavalry fell into fighting on their own. The people still alive on the Song army were all warriors who had fought a hundred battles, and they were controlling Niu Fu and Liu.
Under the leadership of Meng, they were like hammers, constantly grabbing and killing the Tatars.
One shot stabbed the last Tatar to death, and then he was thrown away from him. Niu Fu raised his big gun and roared loudly. Corpses were everywhere, blood flowed into rivers, and the remaining hundreds of Tatars were all injured. But! We won!
They all raised their weapons, and the Song soldiers who were still standing looked up to the sky and roared wildly, as if they were crazy. What's more, tears slipped quietly from their faces. From the moment they left the city gate and started the death-defying battle, everyone was ready to die together.
He made preparations, but he didn’t expect that the situation would suddenly change and he would still be able to survive until the end!
Opposite the city wall, the Tatar army of more than 20,000 people watched helplessly as many of the thousands of their own troops died. Many familiar soldiers burst into tears. For a moment, all the three armies were palpitating and their morale plummeted.
The city gate opened again, and a group of civilians rushed out.
The battlefield is always cleaned by the victors. They rescue their own wounded, replenish the wounds of the undead enemies, and collect bows, arrows, weapons, armor, and war horses. The people are very skilled in doing these things, and they can turn over the bloody battlefield in less than half a cup of tea.
After they were removed, a body with its clothes and armor stripped off was left alone.
-----------------------
He was covered in blood, and his brand-new brocade robe didn't look the least bit chic. As soon as Liu Meng entered the city gate with everyone, he heard an excited shout, "Xiao Liu!" Hearing the sound, he looked over and saw a familiar smiling face facing him.
, the clean eyes are full of concern and relaxation.
Ding Qi! Together they ran wolves at night in the grasslands of Mobei, evading the pursuit of Mongolian warriors for nearly two months; together they sneaked into the Mongolian camp and assassinated the first traitor Zhang Hongfan; even in times of crisis, regardless of the dangers, they never abandoned each other as brothers who depended on each other for life.
Ding Qi!
