It is true that you can see far when you stand high, but unfortunately the world becomes smaller when you stand high. I once had a dream about the Great Sophora Kingdom, and the situation in front of me is very similar to the time when the Great Sophora Kingdom opened its territory.
Men the size of ants were fighting to the death on the plains. You couldn't see the actual battle, you could only see the changes in formations. Qingyi Jieguizhang was a commander under the left wing general. That guy who loved fighting must be at the forefront of the battle.
Yun Zheng took off the jade pendant from his belt and held it in his hand. The delicate nephrite was not warm. On the contrary, it was cold to the bones. Neither Jiao Si Luo nor Wu Zang Pang's formation moved. Instead, it was as if they had made an appointment.
As they retreated, it seemed that they were conducting limited operations.
A dark cloud suddenly rose up in the rear formation of the Xixia people, and Sun Qizhi sighed softly: "This is the Xixia divine arm crossbow! It's just that it's expensive to build, and it's rarely equipped in the army. I didn't expect that the Heishan military commander who didn't have a hidden weapon would actually
There are so many.”
(Brothers, please do not think that the divine arm crossbow was an invention of the Song Dynasty. In fact, it was presented by Li Hong from Xixia)
Yun Zheng watched the dark clouds sinking into the Qingtang people's military formation. Suddenly, the people there turned on their backs and became a mess. However, the Qingtang people seemed to be on guard. They held their leather shields high and continued to attack the Xixia people bravely. It was the Qingtang people who fought hand-to-hand.
Strengths.
The soldiers in front were fighting, but the follow-up troops were cut off by the divine arm crossbows. Even if there was a small amount left, they could not provide perfect support. The leading troops were gradually decreasing. According to Yun Zheng, the collapse was not too far away.
"The Qingtang people are about to lose. The left-wing attack cannot be effective and cannot pose a threat to their right wing. Therefore, defeat is only a matter of time." Yun Zheng looked at it for a long time and couldn't think of any other way for the Qingtang people to come back.
.
But the Qingtang people on the battlefield slapped Yun Zheng hard with practical actions. As the number of people decreased, those Qingtang people seemed to have stabilized their position. Yun Zheng couldn't understand the current situation and turned to Langli.
Ge and Sun Qi hoped that they could give themselves a reasonable explanation. Hanlin had not fought a large-scale war and would not understand. As for Peng Jiu and Liang Jiyunzheng, they were even less hopeful.
Lang Lige didn't change his expression, still looking at the battle situation in front of him like an iceberg. His current state may be the state before he went into battle.
"The first ones to die are all new recruits. The background of Jiao Si Luo is not as deep as that of the Xixia people. Those new recruits may be able to fight with the wind, but once they encounter a harsh war, they often cannot become a fighting force, but will become a burden to the other veterans.
By this time in the battle, most of the new recruits were dead, and the combat power of the veterans gradually emerged. Their cooperation, attack and killing skills were extremely skilled, and they could effectively fill the vacancies left by the new recruits, so this situation would occur instead.
However, there is no way to maintain this situation for a long time. After all, a person's physical strength is limited. It has been half an hour since the beginning of the battle. If they take another stick of incense, their physical strength will be exhausted.
At that time, it will be the turn of the Xixia people to start the massacre. Once they reach that point, even the gods will not be able to save them."
Yun Zheng nodded while listening. Peng Jiu and Liang Ji also stared at the people fighting in the distance. Although they couldn't see the movements of those people clearly, they could imagine the brutality of the battlefield. Following Yun Zheng and the others, they felt that such a scene made them uncomfortable.
He will definitely encounter it in his lifetime, without even thinking about it. Peng Jiu cannot imagine that less than a year ago, he was just a useless officer in a useless army, and now he has been fighting countless gangsters and robbers.
Today, we have come to a place where the Song Dynasty army has never set foot, and we have to take a walk around Li Yuanhao's magic cave. According to the general, we are going to see if there is any advantage to be gained...
Thinking that the only one who could take advantage of the Xixia people was his young general.
The Xixia people's central army sounded the drums. The slowly retreating central army stopped retreating and instead moved forward slowly. Yun Zheng could see clearly that it looked like the Xixia people were about to launch a large-scale attack.
Suddenly, Yun Zheng discovered that several black spots appeared on the white salt-alkali land, and then these black spots turned into a thick black line. When the dark cloud formed by the arrows covered the phalanx of the divine arm crossbows,
Only then did Yun Zheng realize that he was really a newcomer on the battlefield. The people of Qingtang had long known about the existence of the divine arm crossbow. In order to make up for the lack of range of bows and arrows, they dug a long tunnel for the archers to hide in.
Inside, and then covered with white saline soil, the infantry deliberately avoided this place during the battle, and the cavalry remained motionless during the decisive battle. Even when the cavalry retreated, they remained silent until the moment came to decide the victory or defeat.
, then suddenly attacked. After three arrows in a row enveloped the divine arm crossbow phalanx, there was dead silence. After all, the divine arm crossbowman had no shield to cover, and he was standing behind the cavalry. In order to block the reinforcements from the Qingtang people,
Cut off in the distance, they're too far forward.
These archers were obviously masters. After taking out the divine arm crossbowmen, their arrows were flying around the battlefield like locusts. It didn't take long for Yun Zheng to discover that Xixia had the advantage in numbers.
People, their advantage is no longer so obvious at this time, and at this time, reinforcements from the Qingtang people have arrived...
Yun Zheng put his hands to his mouth and breathed hot air into it. What he saw just now was so shocking that he forgot about the cold. He grabbed his hands on the bluestone and was so cold that he lost consciousness.
The harsh gongs and drums sounded, and the Xixia people's brigade slowly moved forward, constantly spitting out arrows, and their own troops slowly retreated. The Qingtang people's cavalry kept spinning outside the range of the arrows.
They wanted to find a breakthrough, but the Xixia people did not give the Qingtang people such a chance. They left the dead people and horses on the ground and slowly retreated towards the camp on the horizon.
Countless Qingtang people cheered and howled on the battlefield on horseback. The horses' necks were covered with Xixia heads. The rougher ones even held the heads in their hands and galloped around the battlefield. This was a celebration ceremony for the victors.
.
"The Western Xia people's divine arm crossbow is very good. It is very powerful when shooting from a long distance. Our combat power is low. This thing can effectively strengthen our combat power. I heard that there are also some in Bianliang City in Tokyo, but there are not many.
Han Lin, can you get a divine arm crossbow? As long as there is one intact divine arm crossbow, I can restore a hundred of them, or even more. If I modify it, I believe that this thing will become
A cavalryman’s nightmare.”
Langrig shook his head and said: "There is a principle in the use of the divine arm crossbow, that is, it cannot fall into the hands of the enemy. When the crossbowman knows that there is no hope of breaking through, the first thing to do is to completely destroy the divine arm.
Crossbows, do not let the enemy succeed. The Divine Arm Camp suffered heavy losses just now. It was too late to take away the lost Divine Arm Crossbows. The retreating cavalry will definitely take away those Divine Arm Crossbows, and those that cannot be taken away will be completely destroyed. Let
Qingtang people cannot use it.”
Yun Zheng smiled and said: "I don't need a perfect one, I only need a damaged one to restore it. Even if one or two mechanisms are missing, I will restore it."
Han Lin smiled and said: "In that case, I will go to the battlefield and see if I can bring you some rags."
Sun Qizhi shook his head and said: "There is no need. The Kalo River is the only way for us to enter Xixia. As long as we wait until the two armies leave, we can pick up the rags. At this time, the battlefield will be disturbed, and even the position of a corpse will be revealed.
If you are wrong, you will be discovered by the scouts. Don’t doubt it, Langrig has this ability.”
Liang Ji, who was looking at the battlefield blankly, suddenly said: "Don't they collect the corpses?"
Sun Qizhi sighed and said: "The eagle's beak and the wolf's belly are their coffins."
The war that had been prepared for three months actually lasted only one morning. At dusk, thick smoke rose from the horizon, and the majestic stockade was burning fiercely. The flames turned the slightly darkened sky red, and there was no hiding.
Nupang Pang abandoned his camp and left Kalochuan. Sun Qizhi and Lang Lige pointed angrily at Wu Zang Nipang Pang in the distance and shouted, the war was not over yet, and there was no winner or loser. That little loss was very important to the Xixia Five.
Wan Dajun is nothing, so why would he consider himself a failure?
Yun Zheng knew the secret, but he didn't intend to explain to Lang Lige and Sun Qizhi that Wu Zang had come to Kalochuan just to defeat the war. Even if he could win, he would defeat it on purpose.
He didn't have a good impression of Jiao Siluo and deliberately let him go. The reason was very simple. Li Yuanhao lost to Jiao Siluo. If Zang Pang hadn't won the battle, his situation would have been even worse after he returned. So this battle was a
It was a war fought for political purposes rather than military purposes. There was a huge difference between the two.
There was no good show to watch. Both Jiao Si Luo and Wu Zang Tiao Pang had achieved their goals and were retiring their troops back to camp happily. The unobstructed Kalo River was not a good place to station troops.
Yun Zheng spent another night at the checkpoint in Heishan. When he woke up, he found that Lang Lige was arranging six corpses, all of which were Qingtang cavalry. Lang Lige's expression was serious, as if he was carving, and he was not stopping.
Spray a little water on a certain part of the corpse, or grab a handful of the corpse with his hand with an iron hook. The most terrifying thing is that he will use the iron hook to gouge out the eyes of the frozen and hard corpse, but he is at his mercy.
Afterwards, those corpses looked more like they had been abused by wild beasts.
Sun Qizhi carefully moved the ashes from last night out of the fire pit with a cloth bag, and poured the ashes from the day before yesterday into the fire pit. He shook the cloth bag in his hand vigorously, and the entire checkpoint became gray.
"We can't make people think that we have been here. This level of disguise should be enough." Sun Qizhi waved to Yun Zheng, and the six people went down the mountain one after another. When leading the horses, Yun Zheng discovered that the original six horses
There were many wounds on my body, but I didn’t find any wounds when I went up the mountain.
"These people accidentally extinguished the fire pit and froze to death without the fire. One of them ran down and drank a lot of horse blood. Because he didn't dare to leave his post without permission, he ran up to the checkpoint again, and he also froze to death.
…”
"Will someone die without fire? As far as I know, you can make fire by drilling wood..."
"That's what you think! This is what we did before!" Lang Lige interrupted Yun Zheng's questioning arrogantly. (To be continued)
