"Click..." As the twenty-one Wu Jinshi quickly opened the safety of the fire gun pistol, they rode on their horses, quickly raised their hands and guns, and aimed at the enemies in their respective directions that they had assigned in advance.
.
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom……"
After Wu Jie, Wu Lin, Yang Zaixing and other twenty-one Wu Jinshi aimed at the enemy, they quickly pulled the trigger of the firegun pistol.
Sparks and black smoke erupted from the muzzle, and bullets flew out one after another. Twenty Xixia cavalrymen fell off their horses in response.
"ah!"
"ah!"
"ah……"
The twenty or so Xixia cavalrymen who were not hit by the gunshots but were bending their bows and setting up arrows were also frightened out of their wits by this sudden change. They fired their bows and arrows in a panic, and the hit rate of the arrows they shot was extremely low...
Even if three or five Wu Jinshi were hit by arrows, because they wore soft armor inside their robes, no fatal injuries were caused.
Xifeng Manniu was shot in the right leg. He was bleeding profusely, his face was pale, and he was in unbearable pain.
With his many years of combat experience, he could see that these twenty-one Song merchants were definitely not real Song merchants, but were pretended to be elite soldiers of the Song army.
What made Xifeng Manniu even more desperate was that the more than one hundred elite cavalry he led had already killed or wounded eighty of them in less than three rounds with this group of fake Song merchants!
What horrified Xi Feng Man Niu was that the explosive grenades thrown by this group of fake Song merchants brought huge damage to him and his soldiers. He originally wanted to apply the method he used to avoid the Song army's trebuchets on the battlefield.
Strategy, but this fake Song Shang actually came up with a strange guy who could breathe fire projectiles that he had never heard of or seen before.
Xifeng Manniu glanced at his twenty or so surviving cavalry followers, and immediately ordered in Party language:
"Retreat first! Blow the horn quickly and mobilize heavy troops!"
"As you command!"
The burly Xifeng Manniu lay down on the horse with his whole body to reduce the area of the back of the head and back. He stepped firmly in the stirrups with both feet, grabbed the reins with his left hand, and pressed hard with his right hand.
On the wound on the bleeding right leg to prevent himself from bleeding too much and fainting and falling off the horse.
"Drive!" Xifeng Manniu turned the horse's head and retreated first...
The remaining twenty or so Xixia cavalry were well-trained. They followed the general's orders and were responsible for covering the rear. They retreated slowly and used bows and arrows to block the counterattack of twenty-one Song merchants including Wu Jie.
Five of them took out their horns and blew the horns vigorously:
"woo woo woo woo!"
In the Xixia military camp, which was more than two miles away from here in Zhejianghui City, more than a thousand Xixia soldiers who had been transferred from defense were frightened when they heard the sound of three long and one short horns.
They shouted one after another: "Gather, gather..."
"There's a war..."
The Xixia soldiers guarding the four city gates of Zhejianghui immediately became nervous when they heard the horn blowing. They entered a state of combat readiness, closed the city gates, and stood ready...
At this time, on the streets of Zhejiang Huihe City, Wu Jie, Wu Lin, Yang Zaixing and other twenty-one martial arts scholars were pursuing them bravely. They put away their firecrackers and pistols, jumped on their horses, and chased Xifengman.
Niu and more than 20 of his remnants.
Wherever they passed, those Xixia soldiers who had been wounded and fell to the ground by grenades and firecrackers were being killed by them with their knives wantonly...
Soon, they caught up with the more than 20 Xixia cavalry who were behind the fine seals of the barbarian cattle. Wu Jie and others' Wu Jinshi's sword skills were very good, and they killed with great momentum. Those who were frightened by the power of the Song Dynasty's firearms
The morale of the courageous Xixia soldiers has declined, and they are no match for Wu Jie and other Wu Jinshi.
After a burst of fighting, fifteen or six more Xixia cavalry were killed by Wu Jie, Wu Lin, Yang Zaixing and other Wu Jinshi...
Xifeng Manniu, who was the first to retreat, took the lead and fled back. He turned his head and looked behind him seventy or eighty steps away. The cavalrymen who were behind him killed fifteen or six more people, leaving only Wuxin.
The five or six knights who dared to resist any longer followed his retreating direction, whipping their horses wildly, trying to escape from the clutches of those fake Song merchants...
Seeing that the situation was not good, Xifeng Manniu desperately urged his horses and fled towards the Xixia barracks in the city...
Wu Jie, Wu Jie, Yang Zaiju and other Wu Jinshi were chasing after them...
At this time, on the streets of Zhejianghuihe City, the Xixia Dangxiang businessmen who were watching the excitement were frightened by this sudden change and fled for their lives...
Because, at that moment, there were too many Xixia merchants running for their lives, party merchants who could not escape appeared in front of the horses of the fine sealing bulls.
The brutal Xifeng Barbarian Bull didn't care whether the people blocking his retreat were of the same race or not. He waved his scimitar and hacked to death any party merchants who appeared in front of or even on the side of his horse.
His cruel approach was true and he achieved his goal.
The party merchants and pedestrians who were running for their lives would rather trample on each other than dare to get in front of the thin-sealed bull riding a war horse and carrying a dripping scimitar.
The Xifeng Barbarians rode fast horses and were protected by the remaining four or five remaining soldiers. They fled to the streets more than a mile away from the military camp in the city, where they met reinforcements.
These reinforcements were the 700 to 800 fully armed Xixia soldiers who came out of the military camp after hearing the sound of the horn.
Xifeng Manniu immediately regained his confidence and roared:
"You follow my general and kill all those abominable fake Song Dynasty merchants!!"
"Follow orders..."
"Follow orders..."
Wu Jie and other twenty-one Wu Jinshi saw that Xifeng Manniu had summoned reinforcements who could not see the end of the team, and they no longer wanted to fight.
They must follow the established plan, fight to the east gate of Zhejianghui, and send an siege signal to the Song army ambushing outside the east city of Zhejianghui by throwing grenades to blow up the enemy.
Wu Jie turned the horse's head and shouted: "Follow me to retreat to the east gate and send an siege signal to General Guo!"
"It's an order~!"
"It's an order~!"
Wu Lin, Yang Zaixing and other twenty Wu Jinshi turned their horses and followed Wu Jie towards the east gate of Zhejianghui...
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Xifeng Manniu endured the pain after being shot in his right thigh and roared: "There is no way to run away! Shoot the arrow!"
"Whizzing……"
"Whizzing……"
The Xixia reinforcements bent their bows and set arrows, and hundreds of arrows were shot out...
However, when Wu Jie and other twenty-one Wu Jinshi were chasing the remnants of the Xifeng Manniu, they had opened a long distance away. But when they saw Xixia reinforcements coming, they decisively gave up the pursuit and chose to turn their horses.
, quickly evacuate the battlefield.
In addition, the street is not straight. Just when the Xixia reinforcements were firing arrows, Wu Jie and other twenty-one Wu Jinshi had already turned the corner of the street and disappeared in front of the Xixia reinforcements.
The wave of arrows like raindrops released by the Xixia reinforcements did not hit Wu Jie and other Wu Jinshi. Instead, many arrows hit the panicked party merchants and passers-by on the street...
"ah……"
"Ah, ah, ah..."
There were dozens of party merchants and people hit by arrows on the street, making heart-rending screams...
Xifeng Manniu, a villain who was even shot in the thigh and bleeding profusely, was so cruel to himself. In order to pursue this hateful group of fake Song merchants, he would not care about the life and death of his fellow merchants.
He shouted angrily: "The whole army is chasing those fake Song merchants and will kill them without mercy! If you kill each fake Song merchant, you will be rewarded fifty taels of silver!"
The Xixia reinforcements of seven to eight hundred people obeyed the general's orders and had a high reward. Their morale was greatly boosted and they shouted the party language:
"Chase!"
"Kill!"
…
Twenty-one people including Wu Jie were riding high-quality horses selected by General Guo Cheng in the army. In addition, they were smaller in number and more maneuverable. They were also competing with the Xixia reinforcements.
Choose to retreat actively when reaching a distance of eighty or ninety steps;
Therefore, at this time, they had already thrown away the Xixia pursuing troops at a distance of one hundred to twenty steps.
At this distance, it would be difficult for the Xixia cavalry to hit them with bows and arrows when both sides were fighting on the move.
What's more, when Wu Jie, Wu Lin, Yang Zaixing and other Wu Jinshis galloped towards the east gate, they would throw one or two grenades from time to time to delay the enemy's pursuit.
The reason why they didn't throw too much was because they had to wait until they reached the east gate to send a signal to the Song army outside the city.
"boom!"
"boom!"
Wu Jie and other Wu Jinshi would from time to time fire a musket or throw a grenade at the Xixia pursuers behind them. Although the damage caused to the Xixia pursuers of seven or eight hundred people was not too great, but
The psychological shadow on these lost tens of millions is huge.
The Xixia pursuers originally believed that their troops were thirty to forty times larger than this group of fake Song merchants, and in their Xixia Zhejianghui City, it would be as easy to deal with this group of fake Song merchants as catching a turtle in a urn.
However, during the escape, this group of fake Song merchants fired cold shots and threw grenades from time to time, causing the Xixia pursuers to continuously reduce their numbers. This made most of the Xixia pursuers who survived shouting to kill the fake Song merchants.
A comrade with a high bounty on his head was blown off his horse and killed. This caused great psychological trauma to Xixia who was still alive in pursuit.
Only then did they suddenly realize why General Xifeng Manniu, who once led them to fight against the Song army without any defeat, was now seriously injured by this group of fake Song merchants, and also lost 80 of his elite relatives.
With the cavalry!
The Xixia pursuers thought of this. None of them wanted to be killed by those small exploding iron mallets thrown by this group of fake Song merchants before they saw the bounty. Therefore, they did not let their war horses pursue the enemy with all their strength.
Xifeng Manniu, who was protected by the Xixia cavalry front team, also saw the concerns of his cavalry.
However, he, who has experienced hundreds of battles, did see the huge lethality of the small explosive iron clubs of this group of fake Song Dynasty merchants today. Therefore, he ordered and shouted:
"Our army will only chase after those fake Song merchants. When they reach any gate of our Zhejiang Hui, they will be rejected!
At that time, they will be the turtle in the urn!"
The Xixia cavalry shouted happily:
"Follow the order!"
"Follow the order!"
In fact, before that, Xifeng Manniu had already asked his subordinates to blow the horn of an emergency battle.
In order to prevent the guards at the city gates of Zhejianghui from hearing, he now led seven to eight hundred Xixia soldiers to chase down Wu Jie and other fake Song merchants. At the same time, he also ordered the cavalry guards beside him to ride on
On top of the war horses, the horn of emergency battle was sounded again...
The soldiers guarding the city gates of Zhejianghui had actually made preparations in accordance with the requirements of combat readiness when they heard the first horn call, and all the city gates of Zhejianghui were closed.
Now, the Xixia garrison at each city gate immediately became more nervous. They responded exactly as they did three years ago before the Song and Xia countries negotiated peace...
Two quarters of an hour later, Wu Jie, Wu Lin, Yang Zaixing and other twenty-one Wu Jinshis rode their horses to the east gate of Zhejianghui. They saw that the east gate that was originally open because of Heshi had now been closed.
Moreover, there are hundreds of Xixia city defenders armed with bows and arrows, waiting in full formation...
Because the Xixia soldiers guarding the city gate only heard the horns from the city to prepare for battle, but what they saw now were only more than 20 Song businessmen wearing Han robes, hurriedly riding their horses to them
garrisoned at the city gate.
This is also due to the information gap. These Xixia soldiers guarding the city gate have not yet received military orders from their superiors. Since the Song and Xia countries have been in the honeymoon period for almost three years, how dare they dare to attack the Song and Shang Dynasties?
Where's the arrow?!
Although, the Xixia soldiers who were guarding the city also saw this group of Song merchants who were riding fast horses and ran four or five steps in front of them. Each of them was holding a small little boy they had seen for the first time in their hands.
Iron Bang Chui, they also felt that something was wrong.
The Xixia general who headed them looked at the city gate and shouted in not very fluent Chinese: "I obey the bugle command and close the city gate. You and the Song merchants are not allowed to pass for the time being!"
"No...you are not allowed to move forward. If you disobey the order, you will be shot to death with random arrows!"
"Hey!" Wu Jie reined in his horse, looked behind him, and sealed off the large group of pursuers led by Man Nian. They were still waiting. He smiled and did not answer the Xixia primary school guard guarding the city gate at all. He shouted to his companions.
road:
"Throw a grenade and blow him to pieces!"
"Got the order!"
Twenty people, including Wu Lin, Yang Zaixing and others, held the prepared grenades in their right hands, quickly unscrewed the safety cover with their left hand, and then pulled the handle...
"Chichi..."
"Chichi..."
Smoking grenades were thrown into the pile of Xixia guards at the east gate of Zhejianghui...
"Huh?!" The Xixia soldiers at the east gate of Zhejianghui were very surprised and confused.
"boom!"
"boom!"
As the small, smoking iron mallets exploded in the eyes of the Xixia soldiers, their wide-open eyes of confusion could never be closed.
Many Xixia soldiers who were at the center of the grenade explosion did not understand until their death what the new weapon that killed them was called, and who invented this extremely lethal weapon?
They die with their eyes open...
…
At the same time, in the grass more than a mile away from Zhejiang Huidong City, Guo Chengqin, a veteran of the Western Army of the Song Dynasty, led 5,000 elite troops and had already ambushed there.
At this time, Guo Cheng heard the explosion of many grenades in Zhejiang Huidong City Gate, and knew that Wu Jie, Wu Lin, Yang Zaixing and others had succeeded.
Now, it's his turn to lead his army to attack Jianghui City head-on...
