Marquis Yu, who had combat experience in the Song Army, kept running on the battlefield, holding his sword and rushing from the front to the end of the team. He made sure that all his men were there and found no deserters who could be hacked to death. He shouted at the top of his lungs:
"Hold your position. The Xixia barbarians have entered a trap. They are about to die. We are about to win. Promotion and wealth are now available. Brothers, hold on!"
Yun Zheng also got off the tallest sidecar and climbed onto the big green horse. The monkey helped to tie the sword to his commander's hand with a silk scarf. Even so, he was very worried about the commander's sword.
Will be smashed away by the flail of Xixia barbarian.
It is impossible to command the army at this time. When the two armies are strangled together, any command is useless. The chess pieces that should be played have already been played. This is the time to see the winning hand. At this time
Yun Zheng hated the Song Dynasty's backward command system. As the commander-in-chief, he led his men into battle. It was the general's duty to improve the courage of his own soldiers.
Standing behind and commanding at this time will only be looked down upon by his subordinates. Whether it is Di Qing, Wu Zangpang, or Li Yuanhao, they will personally go into battle at the last moment and lead their own guards to strangle on the front line. How can Yun Zheng do this?
Exception? What Song Dynasty lacks most is a coach who dares to lead the charge.
Li Chang almost fell down on the side car, holding on to the railing tightly to prevent himself from falling. At this time, he felt that the heavy armor he was wearing was pressing on his body like a mountain. Not only was he unable to breathe,
Even my heartbeat was suppressed.
Yun Zheng took off his cloak, looked back at Li Chang and said with a smile: "If I die in battle, remember to take my body back. I don't want to be eaten as food by the Xixia people."
Li Chang tried his best and said: "You can't die, and I can't live if you die."
Yun Zheng smiled and said: "How can they all die? I am a general, and you are a civil servant. You have to help me take care of these brothers who are fighting for life and death. Brother Li, Yun Zheng beat you in Tokyo. If I can come back alive,
, please fight back. If you die in the battle, everything will be over. Don’t hold grudges. Yun Zheng really can’t say an apology in his life!"
After speaking, Li Chang did not look at the tears that were pouring down his face. He galloped towards the young soldiers who were already prepared. He held his sword upright in front of his eyes and closed his eyes, quietly waiting for the opportunity to attack.
Two naked-chested strong men beat huge war drums desperately, and the sound of the war drums suddenly resounded throughout the world. The pikemen pointed their spears, and the swordsmen and shieldsmen knocked their shields with their sabers and roared together: "Fight!
Fight! Fight to the death!”
Yun Zheng took a long breath, as if he wanted to inhale all the fierceness of the Song Dynasty into his chest. He looked coldly at the woods on the left and right sides, and couldn't help tightening the sword in his hand, just in case the war elephant was against the Xixia people.
It doesn't work much, so I have to rely on the sword in my hand to seek justice for the people of the Song Dynasty who were eaten.
Zhang Zhi never forgot that there were ambushes in the woods on both sides, so he suppressed his horse speed to prevent himself from being in a situation where he could not come back once he left. However, he saw a scene that would never appear in his dreams...
The woods seemed to boil with the sound of war drums, and trees as thick as a bowl fell to the ground one after another. Even with thousands of horses galloping, he could feel a different tremor. A terrifying monster rushed out of the forest on the left.
When it came out, its body was so huge and its appearance was so ferocious. Its black and blue skin was covered with all kinds of terrifying patterns. Two long knives came out of the monster's mouth, spinning in the air in an extremely ferocious manner.
In an instant, all the terrifying monsters emerged from the woods, waving their long noses, panting heavily, and running out of the woods with red eyes, without any hesitation.
What's even more terrifying is that these monsters seem to be going crazy, spitting from their mouths, and rushing out of the nearby woods with diagonal stabs. The rangers monitoring the woods screamed wildly, turned their horses' heads, and fled in all directions. If what appeared was
The Song Army should have charged at this time, but they were facing a monster, and all the courage they had accumulated evaporated.
The eagle shooters in the army accurately shot arrows at the monster, but it failed to cause any delay or damage. The long arrow nailed into the monster's skin, but made the monster go crazy even more, rumbling towards Zheng Zheng.
The charging cavalry team intercepted them.
Zhang Zhi roared wildly: "War elephant! This is not a monster, it is a war elephant!"
After saying that, he rode towards the war elephant. He knew the shortcomings of the war elephant. He was born in a family of officials. In his early years, he was even lucky enough to see the white elephant participating in the sacrifice in Tokyo. He heard that it was a tribute from the Lion Kingdom.
national treasure.
War elephants are frightened by the screams of the smallest pigs. It is said that during a successful rescue of the city of Megara, the Megarians poured boiling oil on a group of pigs, causing them to catch fire, and drove them towards the enemy.
War Elephant Team. Facing the screaming pigs with flames on their bodies, the war elephants fled in fear.
Such records are not uncommon in the records of cannibalism in the Western Regions. Zhang Zhi, as a member of an aristocratic family, is no stranger to these. This is not the only way to defeat war elephants. Cutting off the legs of war elephants with a tomahawk is also another way.
If Zhang Zhi could be given a little more time, he would even carry firewood on his horse and light it on fire to drive away these behemoths who are docile and naturally timid.
Seeing the Xixia soldiers shooting arrows at the war elephants crazily, Zhang Zhi understood that this was the most useless method. Now that he had no fire pigs or battle axes, he could only rely on the long swords and horses in his hands to drive away these giant beasts.
.
Zhang Zhi bravely charged towards the elephant, and his soldiers gritted their teeth and followed the commander, hoping to use their own lives to stop these monsters and give the main attacking heavy cavalry a little more time.
The war elephants seemed to be going crazy, and they only knew how to charge wildly. Zhang Zhi flexibly controlled the reins of the war horses, and the sweaty horses galloped among the war elephants like a bolt of lightning. The long knife in his hand could only hit the big
The elephant's skin was as thick as a palm, leaving a series of twisting gashes, but it could not deliver a fatal blow to the elephant.
Zhang Zhi pulled out the war spear from behind, waved it twice in his hand, and accurately threw the steel war spear under the elephant's ear. The heavy steel war spear penetrated into the elephant's head, and a war elephant whined as if
It fell to the ground like a mountain.
Zhang Zhi really wanted to see the war elephants become panicked because of the death of their companions, but these elephants ignored their dead companions and angrily ran past the corpses of their companions and rushed into Zhang Zhi's group of guards.
Waves of blood were set off there, and wherever the elephant went, flesh and blood flew everywhere. The neighing of the war horses and the screams of the knights before they died were unbearable to hear.
"Spread out, spread out, use the war spear to kill the war elephant from behind its ears. This thing is not as scary as you think!" Zhang Zhi roared, but his voice was covered by the anxious roar of the elephant.
.
He could only pull out a war spear again and stab it into the ear of another war elephant. Seeing that the general killed another war elephant again, Li Qing also imitated Zhang Zhi and desperately thrust a war spear into it.
He threw it into the head of a war elephant that was not running fast. When he saw the war elephant fell to the ground, he took a deep breath and wiped the sweat that had flowed into his eyes.
Zhang Zhi watched sadly as the standing elephants infiltrated his cavalry team. No matter whether it was heavy cavalry or light cavalry, there was only one fate when they encountered war elephants, and that was to fall off their horses and be trampled to pieces by the war elephants.
He and Li Qing killed three war elephants, but the price paid was so high that Zhang Zhi almost wanted to scream. In the blink of an eye, only less than a hundred of the five hundred soldiers were left, and the task of stopping the war elephants was not completed.
not done……
In order to facilitate the attack on Yunzheng's ring fortifications, and to guard against the dense rain of arrows from the Song army, he deliberately arranged the attack formation very loosely, and now all these elephants were advantaged. It was only then that he discovered that the enemy who was launching the attack on the other side
They are also terrifying war elephants. There are all toothless female elephants over there, and these female elephants have long iron chains tied around their necks. The long iron chains are like a chain to the high-speed advancing war horses.
The king of hell who urges death.
Zhang Zhi now only hopes that Moruha, who has rushed through the attack of the war elephant, can live up to expectations and break through the strange car city.
Yun Zheng put down his visor and stuffed two large balls of cotton into the big green horse's ears. The other knights were doing the same thing, and then they covered their ears and opened their mouths. He could see clearly where he stood.
Lang Tan, who was at the front of the chariot city, lit a thick gunpowder stick with a torch. The more than 5,000 kilograms of gunpowder buried in the ground should now be showing its power.
The Baniu Crossbow spit out its crossbow spears unhurriedly. The armor of the Xixia heavy cavalry was like paper in front of the Baniu Crossbow. The sharp blades penetrated into their bodies and then came out from behind the bodies.
, until the kinetic energy is exhausted.
The soil on the ground began to roll after a dull sound, and dark red flames shot straight into the sky. Those Xixia soldiers who were lucky enough to escape the war elephants were thrown into the air like toys by the terrifying air waves, and there were even a few war elephants.
It was also sent into the air, and then was torn apart by air waves in mid-air, and then fell heavily to the ground. At this time, it was impossible to tell what the mass of flesh and blood was.
Suddenly there was a rain of blood in the clear sky. Mud and rocks mixed with flesh and blood fell from the sky. The strong smell of blood made the veterans who had been on the battlefield for a long time retching. This was a disaster.
Moruha looked back blankly at the hellish scene behind him. The armor on his upper body had disappeared, and his bare chest seemed to have had a layer of skin peeled off, revealing red muscles.
He didn't have time to think about it, or even feel the pain. A thick crossbow gun blasted a big bright hole in his chest. He fell down from the back of the horse that had fallen to the ground, and his head was stuck on the gravel.
On the ground, not a word was uttered.
The sidecar formation began to split in the middle, and groups of Song troops rushed out of the city. At this time, they were very courageous.
Yun Zheng galloped past the infantry on horseback. The big green horse jumped over a bush with great strength, and with his master hiding behind the guards of the brigade, he rushed towards the battlefield. (To be continued)
