This is a picture of iron and blood, this is a symphony of courage and death. Xixia Tieyao is worthy of being the pillar of Xixia's country. He faces death without fear, and he continues to move forward indomitably. The sharpness of his troops is simply unstoppable; however, Yan Yun Mo Dao
However, the army blocked this seemingly unstoppable torrent of steel. Everyone was shattered by the sword. The cold blade and the cold eyes made people feel that they were more powerful warriors than the iron kites. The balance of war was gradually moving towards
The Yanyun Army tilted. Steel was colliding, and blood was flying. Mo Dao Army marched forward firmly on the enemy's corpse and the dripping blood!
Xixia Generalissimo Li Zongdao led the main force of the infantry to rush halfway. Seeing that Tie Yaozi failed to defeat the enemy's formation as expected, but the situation was unfavorable, he was shocked and quickly ordered the army to stop attacking. You may be surprised that Tie Yaozi
The situation was dire, why didn't Li Zongdao lead his army to rush forward to help, but stopped instead? In fact, the reason is very simple. If the iron kites can destroy Yanyun's army array, then the infantry brigade can wipe out the remaining enemies with the force of autumn wind.
; On the contrary, just like the current situation, although the Iron Harrier Army broke through Yanyun's defensive front, it formed a stalemate with the enemy on the periphery and the situation was somewhat unfavorable. In this case, if the Xixia army rushed forward, not only would they not be able to increase their strength much
, because the iron kite blocked the charge path, but they would crowd together with the iron kite, disrupting his own position, which would be even more disadvantageous. Therefore, when Li Zongdao saw the iron kite forming a stalemate with the enemy, he ordered the infantry to stop charging.
General Li Yuantong, who led the 200,000 people's army to make a roundabout flank, arrived at the attack position. He saw that the Yanyun Army's battle formation was still intact without any sign of chaos. He felt that there was no opportunity to take advantage of it, so he did not order the people's army to attack the enemy's formation. He understood very well.
The combat effectiveness of these civilian armies, if the enemy's army is in chaos and these civilian armies rush forward in a swarm, can certainly achieve a devastating effect. However, if the opponent is not in chaos, these civilian armies are poorly equipped and lack training. If only a courageous civilian army rushes forward,
It's like hitting an egg against a rock. If you can't break the opponent's defense, it's fine. But if the opponent takes the opportunity to counterattack and disrupts it, it will be very bad.
Li Qingxia saw that her 10,000 Iron Kites were actually being killed by the opponent's 5,000 Mo Dao army and kept retreating. She couldn't help but feel shocked and frowned. She could see that her Iron Kites had tried their best. They attacked desperately and faced casualties.
They were not afraid of the tragic situation, and fought one after another. Their performance was worthy of the title of the Pillars of Xixia. However, their opponents were too strong, beyond imagination. Whether it was their physique, equipment, or fighting spirit, they were obviously stronger than iron.
The kites are better, and the Modao Army itself is a branch that can restrain the cavalry. Therefore, ten thousand brave iron kites cannot defeat the five thousand Yanyun Modao Army.
Li Qingxia felt that fighting like this would be useless besides wasting precious iron kites, so she immediately ordered the herald to order the iron kites and light cavalry to retreat.
The horn sound representing the retreat echoed over the battlefield. Tie Yaozi, who was fighting fiercely with Mo Dao Army and was already red-eyed, slowly broke away from Yan Yun Army amidst the general's shouts, retreated, and fought with Yan Yun Army.
At the same time, the light cavalry restrained on both wings also retreated. The noisy battlefield suddenly became quiet. I saw mountains of corpses in front of the Yanyun Army's formation. The soldiers who were not dead were still squirming in the pile of corpses. The horses had lost their owners.
Still nostalgic for the owner's body. A gust of wind blew, and the thick smell of blood made people unable to breathe.
Li Dingkun, the iron kite general, galloped up to Li Qingxia, reined in his horse, and bowed with shame on his face: "Your Majesty, this general is incompetent and failed to break the enemy's formation!" Li Qingxia saw the most famous man in the Great Xia Kingdom.
One of the brave generals was covered in blood and scarred. Knowing that he had tried his best, he comforted: "General, there is no need to blame yourself. I have seen it with my own eyes. You have done a good job! You are worthy of being the pillar of my country in Daxia!"
"Li Qingxia comforted him in this way, but it made him even more ashamed, and said excitedly: "Your Majesty, please give us another chance! Even if the general dies on the battlefield, he will overwhelm Yanyun's army!"
Li Qingxia nodded, "I believe that the general can definitely do it! But I don't want the precious iron kite to suffer too many casualties! There will be countless battles in the future and I will rely on you!" Li Dingkun agreed. Li Qingxia asked
: "What are the casualties of the Iron Kites Army?"
Li Dingkun said: "There were over two thousand casualties, with very few injuries. Almost all of them were killed in action."
Li Qingxia couldn't help but feel heartache. The casualties of two thousand didn't seem to be very big, but compared to the scale of Tie Yaozi, which was only fifteen thousand, it was definitely a heavy loss.
Dong Dong Dong... Yan Yun's war drums suddenly sounded loudly, as if a giant stepped forward. Li Qingxia was startled and quickly looked into the distance, only to see Yan Yun's military formation open, five hundred
A knight in heavy armor appeared in front of the military formation. The general leading the army was Yang Gui, who killed six of his own generals yesterday. Li Qingxia frowned and quickly said to the herald: "The Yanyun Army is about to counterattack.
, tell the generalissimo to deal with it carefully!" The herald promised and ran towards the military formation in front. Just now, Li Zongdao led one hundred thousand main infantry to cooperate with Tie Yaozi to attack Yanyun's army formation in one go. However, because Tie Yaozi failed to do so, this time
One hundred thousand infantry troops stopped between the two sides and formed a military formation on the spot, preparing to wait for Li Qingxia's order before attacking again. However, they did not expect that Yan Yun's army was about to launch a counterattack.
Yang Gui and other five hundred cavalry lined up in front of the military formation, staring at the Xixia people in the distance with bloodthirsty eyes. They only waited for Yang Yanzhao's order to charge. These five hundred cavalry were all wearing heavy armor and looked similar to
There is almost no difference between the King of Yan's cavalry, but these cavalry are not the King of Yan's cavalry. Their predecessors were the Yang Family Army's Volcano Army, and are now known as the Volcano Polu Army. Under Yang Peng's instruction, they obtained the same equipment as the King of Yan's cavalry.
.This army is not large in number, but it is definitely the best among the best. When the Yang Jiajun was still the Song Army, the Yang Jiajun defeated the Khitan Army in Goryeo. This elite army definitely contributed a lot. In every battle, Yang Gui would lead this elite army into battle first.
Crush the enemy's formation, and then the Yang family's army will sweep over and destroy the enemy with the force of the autumn wind sweeping away the fallen leaves! The Yang family's army can be victorious in every battle, and this volcanic army accounts for at least half of the credit!
Yang Yanzhao stared at the enemy formation, raised his right hand, and the war drums sounded loudly and urgently. An impulse immediately surged in the hearts of Yang Gui, the five hundred warriors, and they couldn't help shouting in unison, like a tiger roaring, shocking the heart. He roared three times in succession.
, the momentum of the five hundred warriors rose to its peak, while the Xixia army couldn't help but feel as if there was some invisible pressure on their hearts, and they couldn't breathe.
The sound of the war drums became louder and more urgent! The five hundred warriors roared angrily, their hooves burst out, and they rushed towards the enemy's battle formation like tigers out of their boxes, with iron hooves rolling, smoke and dust flying, flags hunting, and iron armor clanking!
Li Zongdao shouted anxiously: "Get ready to fight!" The Xixia army's shield bearers and long gunners lined up in a tight defense line, and the crossbowmen were ready to go. Everyone pursed their lips and stared at the enemy's cavalry, which was fiercely killing them.
The earth trembled under the iron hooves, and there was a thunderous roar in my ears, which made my eardrums numb and my heart trembled!
In the tense atmosphere, the five hundred Talu troops entered the range of the Xixia crossbows. The Xixia bows and crossbows fired arrows together, with a loud roar, and arrows as dense as locusts flew into the sky, and the sky suddenly darkened.
Immediately, a rain of arrows fell into the Talu army, and there was a crackling sound, like rain hitting banana leaves. The arrows hit the thick iron armor and were bounced off, which was completely useless! The soldiers of the Xixia army
Seeing this scene, they were shocked. Under Li Zongdao's order, they continued to fire arrows. The dense rain of arrows did make people breathless, but it was still useless! Seeing that the crossbows were useless, the Xixia army couldn't help but
There is a feeling of being overwhelmed.
In the blink of an eye, the five hundred Talu troops rushed in front of them. The Xixia shield-bearers and spearmen could not help but stand close together, tensing their muscles and nerves to prepare for the fierce impact of their opponents! Boom, boom, boom..., the five hundred Talu troops were fierce.
The ground hit the Xixia army's defense line, and the shields and soldiers' bodies flew up. The spears were unable to penetrate the thick armor, but were broken by the huge force. The five hundred Tao soldiers rushed away from the Xixia army in one go.
The defense line broke into the Xixia army!
The iron hoofs crashed into the crowd, sending the enemy troops staggering here and there. The hammer in Yang Gui's hand flew up and down, smashing the enemy soldiers' flesh and blood everywhere. The long knives and axes in the hands of the Taoist army continued to harvest the lives of the enemy, just like a tiger invading.
Sheep! There was flying blood and screams everywhere. The soldiers of the Xixia Army were frightened and retreated continuously. The formation of a hundred thousand troops was actually moved by five hundred cavalry!
At this moment, General Fan Long led 10,000 infantry troops to rush up, join the battle group, and attack the Xixia Army. The Xixia Army felt greater pressure, became more frightened, and the situation was precarious.
At the critical moment, the Xixia Iron Kites appeared on the flank of the Yanyun Army, preparing to attack the rear of the Yanyun Army. Yang Gui had long been on guard against this move. Before the opponent's Iron Kites moved, Mo Dao led by Yang Qi
The army had already moved. Tie Yaozi failed to attack Yue Yun's flank and rear, but collided with Mo Dao's army. Like a pair of enemies, they started fighting again on the battlefield.
Li Qingxia immediately sent a group of cavalry to pretend to attack Yang Yanzhao's Chinese army formation, and then ordered the main light cavalry to attack the back of Modao's army. However, her move was also seen through by Yang Yanzhao, and the main light cavalry had just circled around Modao.
Behind the army, they were blocked by 30,000 Yanyun infantry troops. The two sides suddenly met and a melee broke out immediately.
Yang Gui led an army of 500 soldiers to charge forward bravely, killing men and horses with blood and leaving corpses everywhere. The soldiers of the Xixia army were frightened and kept retreating. Seeing that the situation was critical, Li Zongdao personally commanded all the heavy armored infantry to meet him.
When the Xixia soldiers saw the Generalissimo personally going to the killing ground, their morale was boosted, and they launched counterattacks under the supervision and leadership of the generals.
The Xixia army gradually stabilized the situation, and the armies of both sides fought bloody and fierce battles. The battlefield was like a huge millstone, grinding the soldiers of both sides into powder! There were shouts and screams, and the sound of the collision of swords and armor, the corpses
As the blood accumulated, both armies became red-eyed and tried their best to kill their opponents, just like two groups of crazy beasts fighting for their lives!
Suddenly, rumbling footsteps were heard from the rear of the Yanyun Central Army's formation, but it turned out that Li Yuantong led an army of 200,000 people to launch an attack. Yang Yanzhao was waiting for them, and immediately ordered Wang Gui to lead an army of 30,000 infantry to attack.
Countercharge. The Xixia People's Army charged forward very excitedly. Suddenly they saw a Yanyun Army rushing towards them, and they couldn't help but panic. In the blink of an eye, the two 'torrents' collided violently. The Xixia People's Army had a large number of people.
, immediately wrapped up the Yan Yun Army, as if an extremely huge mouth swallowed up the Yan Yun Army at once. However, the Yan Yun Army was not afraid, and all of them moved forward bravely, charging to death with spears.
Penetrating the enemy troops and cutting them down with long swords, the Xixia civilian army was like seedlings being harvested by a sickle! After fighting for a while, the Xixia civilian army saw the Yan Yun army being extremely ferocious, and they couldn't help but feel panic in their hearts.
The 200,000 civilian troops actually wavered and began to retreat inevitably.
Seeing this scene, Li Yuantong was very nervous. He quickly gained wisdom and ordered his soldiers to kill those militiamen who dared to escape. At the same time, he ordered his soldiers to shout loudly: "Those who advance will be promoted to high positions, and those who retreat will have their entire families seated together!" The militiamen had already been defeated by Yan.
The Yun army was frightened and retreated. However, being forced by Li Yuantong, the fierce nature in the hearts of the people in the northwest was aroused, and they became desperate and began to fight back. The situation on the scene changed instantly, and those who originally retreated
The 200,000-strong army turned forward, surrounded the 20,000 Yanyun Army, and kept charging and killing them. The Yanyun Army was naturally fearless and kept counterattacking the enemy.
Light! There are simply too many Xixia troops. No matter how hard they charge, the Yanyun army cannot defeat the enemy. However, the Yanyun army is worthy of being the best soldier in the world. Although the Xixia civilian army is seven times larger than them, it cannot crush them!
At this time, almost all the combat forces of both sides were engaged in the battle. Looking down from the sky, the entire land seemed to have turned into a bloody battlefield. The armies of both sides gathered in several battlefields to fight fiercely. The dust was scattered and the cold light gradually
, the sound of killings was like a tide, and the rain of blood was flying! The armies of both sides fought fiercely, and countless people fell in a pool of blood at every moment. Suddenly the Xixia army launched a charge, and suddenly the Yanyun army swept past. The armies of both sides fluctuated and then fought, killing
The sky and the earth changed color, and the grass and trees were filled with sadness. The generals all took the lead in charging into the battle, and the soldiers all marched forward bravely. No one was afraid, and no one was timid. The red-eyed soldiers on both sides had only one thought, which was to kill the enemy, kill the enemy!!
At this moment, a sudden strong wind swept the sky full of sand and dust from the west. In the blink of an eye, the battlefield was dim. It was clearly daytime, but it was darker than night. The armies on both sides felt uneasy and couldn't help but break away.
After making contact, they retreated slowly. A large-scale fierce battle came to an abrupt end because of such a strong wind and sand. The Xixia Army withdrew its troops and returned to the city, while the Yanyun Army withdrew its troops to the camp.
Li Qingxia and others came out of the hazy wind and sand and walked into the hall. The guards in the hall quickly closed the door, and the whistling and flying wind and sand were immediately isolated from the door. Everyone inside the door only heard strange roars outside, as if there was something coming.
Countless monsters were roaring and shouting. Everyone couldn't help but laugh when they saw that everyone else looked disgraced.
Li Qingxia shook off the sand and soil on her body, walked to the top and sat down, with several generals standing below. A female guard brought tea and stepped aside. Li Qingxia picked up the tea bowl, took a sip of tea, put down the tea bowl, and looked at her face.
There was a thoughtful look on his face.
The door suddenly opened, and a large cloud of wind and sand rushed in, blowing everyone's hair and captivating everyone's eyes. In the haze, only one person could be seen walking in quickly, and then the door was closed by the guards. The wind and sand disappeared, and everyone opened their doors.
With his eyes closed, it was only then that he saw clearly that it was Generalissimo Li Zongdao who came in. Several generals saluted Li Zongdao: "Generalissimo!" Li Zongdao nodded, and then saluted Li Qingxia who was sitting at the top and said: "Your Majesty.
!”
Li Qingxia asked: "How is the situation?" "All armies have returned to the city, and the defense forces at various city gates and walls have been increased in accordance with His Majesty's instructions."
Li Qingxia nodded and asked: "What are the casualties of our army?" Li Zongdao said: "The specific statistics have not yet been calculated, but it is estimated that the casualties are around 40,000!" Li Qingxia's heart skipped a beat, "So many?
"Li Zongdao nodded, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, the casualties of Yanyun Army are not few!"
Li Qingxia lowered her head and was silent for a moment, then raised her head and glanced at Li Zongdao, "Generalissimo, I wonder if you noticed something happened today?" Li Zongdao asked: "Your Majesty said that Yanyun's cavalry never showed up.
?”
Li Qingxia stood up, walked down the hall, looked at the door, and frowned: "Yesterday, Yan Yun's 20,000 warriors were clearly there, but today during the battle, they were missing! Where did they go?
Where?" Turning to look at Li Zongdao, "I originally thought that Yang Yanzhao used the 20,000 warriors as his trump card and would appear at the most critical moment. However, the 20,000 warriors did not appear from the beginning to the end of the war. They seemed to disappear out of thin air.
generally!"
Li Zongdao said: "Your Majesty, maybe Yang Yanzhao planned to use it, but the sudden strong wind and sand disrupted his plan!" Li Qingxia nodded and said: "This is possible! But there is also another possibility!"
Li Zongdao was stunned and frowned: "Your Majesty, what you mean is that those 20,000 warriors have already left and are no longer here?" Li Qingxia walked to the map, looked at it, frowned and said: "What if the 20,000 warriors had already left?"
You have left, where will you go?" Li Zongdao walked forward, and after hearing Li Qingxia's words, his face showed a look of thoughtfulness. Li Qingxia suddenly changed his expression, and said worriedly: "Will the 20,000 warriors rush towards me?
Our Snow Mountain Army has gone?" Li Zongdao was startled and blurted out: "It's possible! It's very possible! Yang Yanzhao used his troops cunningly. Maybe he would really use infantry to contain our army here, but he made the two
Wan Zhanqi rides a long distance to attack the Snow Mountain Army!" When the other generals heard this, they couldn't help but break out in cold sweat. General Li Dingkun, the iron kite general, said anxiously: "In this case, we must quickly divide our troops for reinforcements!"
Li Qingxia frowned and said: "If our guess is correct, the 20,000 war cavalry should have left last night. Even if the cavalry rushed to reinforce, it was already too late! The biggest problem at present is not that Li Cunxiao and the others do not have enough troops, but that
They are defenseless!" Then he said to the guard captain Gao Feng: "Immediately send a horse to summon Li Cunxiao, asking him to be more vigilant and be careful to guard against enemy raids!" Gao Feng responded, ran down, opened the door, and the wind and sand poured in.
He stepped out and closed the door immediately.
Li Qingxia thought for a moment and said to Li Zongdao: "We must detach an army to reinforce Tiemenguan, just in case." Li Zongdao thought and nodded, bowed and said: "Your Majesty is wise. Just in this way, I
The Xixia army will not be able to fight with the Yanyun army in the field!" Compared with Yanyun's 80,000 army, the Xixia army of 400,000 is indeed outnumbered. However, according to the situation of today's battle, although the Xixia army is five times larger than the Yanyun army,
However, they can't take advantage at all. If an army is sent to reinforce Tiemenguan, it will be difficult to compete with Yanyun's army in a field battle.
Li Qingxia frowned and said: "The reason why our army went to war was to contain the Yanyun Army and prevent them from returning to aid Youzhou. Now that the Yanyun Army has taken action, there is no need to go to war!..." She still had half of it.
He didn't say anything, for fear of affecting morale and shaking the morale of the army, he originally wanted to say: If someone is not careful and the Yanyun army seizes the opportunity while out of the city, the consequences will be disastrous.
After a pause, he thought: "Perhaps we should change our strategy, leaving one force to defend Xiping Mansion, and transfer the main force to the direction of Youzhou?" Li Zongdao said with some worry: "I'm just afraid that something will happen to Yang Yanzhao here.
That would be troublesome!"
Li Qingxia felt that what Li Zongdao said made sense and nodded. She felt that the situation at hand was still beneficial to her side. As long as Li Cunxiao captured Youzhou in time and was not attacked by the opponent's cavalry, there was still a great hope of victory in this battle.
.Li Cunxiao, as the leading general among the younger generation, should not be attacked by Yan Yun's army, right?
Although Li Qingxia was thinking this way, she was not sure at all. Logically speaking, with Li Cunxiao's ability, he should not be attacked by Yan Yun's army, but the battlefield is ever-changing, and many things are difficult to predict! Three-point ability,
Seven points of luck, Li Qingxia only hopes that God is still on their side in Daxia.
Yang Yanzhao was sitting in the big tent. The curtains had been lowered and locked. The strong wind was blowing the yellow sand flying all over the sky outside, making a monster-like howling sound. The clear sky had long since disappeared without a trace. The sky and the earth were vast and groggy.
It was like a chaotic and unopened world; the entire tent was firmly fixed on the ground on all sides, but the wind still penetrated through the gaps, causing the flames of the oil lamps to dance and sway wildly, causing the lights and darkness inside the tent to flicker.
Yang Yanzhao stood in front of the map, his eyes fell on Youzhou, his brows furrowed tightly.
The curtain was suddenly opened, and a large cloud of wind and sand rushed in, blowing out the flame of the oil lamp. Yang Yanzhao looked towards the door and saw a figure quickly coming in. Then the curtain was locked, and the people crowded in the big tent were
The suffocating wind and sand disappeared immediately. The soldiers lit the oil lamps, and Yang Qi's face appeared in front of Yang Yanzhao. Yang Qi cupped his fists and said: "Brother Six, the casualty figures have been calculated. Our army has suffered nearly 8,000 casualties."
people, including more than 6,000 killed!"
Yang Yanzhao hummed, without moving his expression. He turned to face the map and asked, "Do you think you are still in our hands in Youzhou?"
What happened after all? Let’s look at the breakdown next time.
