Chapter 437 The tempering of war

Huaide Army on Qinfeng Road, near Pingxia City.

This military town was located at the frontier fortress between the Song and Xia countries, at the mouth of the Shimen Gorge (today's Xumi Mountain Gorge) and near the Haoshui River (today's Chenjiagou River). It was first built in the fourth year of Emperor Zhezong's Shaosheng reign, and was built in Huizong's Grand View.

In the second year, the city site was expanded and the Huaide Army Road was upgraded. However, Pingxia City has undulating hills, crisscrossing ravines, crisscrossing beams and plateaus, many mountains and few rivers, and the terrain is extremely dangerous. It was not only a bridgehead when the Song Dynasty sent troops to conquer Xixia, but also a defense against the surrounding areas.

The Dangxiang, Tubo and other tribes sometimes entered the frontier positions of the Song Dynasty to plunder.

Suddenly, another large cloud of smoke and dust was seen rising in the valley on the west side of Pingxia City. In the billowing smoke, there were less than two hundred riders galloping on horseback. Their faces were covered with blood, and each of them was in a state of embarrassment with incomplete armor.

There were shouts of killing all around again, and it seemed that a large number of people were chasing them.

These people are all Tibetan people wearing Qiang robes. Due to the white disasters and black disasters in recent years, their lives have become increasingly difficult. Some tribesmen are not willing to be like other tribes in Tubo and only rely on tea horses in Qinfeng Road, Neiqin, Tao, and Hezhou in the Song Dynasty.

They traded with each other in the market set up by the company in exchange for daily necessities. They intended to sneak into the territory of the Song Dynasty quietly, plunder grain, grass and property in the countryside and make a fortune.

However, before this group of Tubo people could enter the Han villages and towns, they were bumped into by the soldiers of the Western Army of the Song Dynasty who were looking for the border. After a fight, the Tubo people left more than two hundred corpses and had no choice but to flee to the north in embarrassment.

, escaped from the encirclement and interception of the Western Army of the Song Dynasty.

"Quickly retreat! As long as we can escape, we must avenge this! I don't believe that the Song army can always guard it tightly. Next time a general comes over, none of the Han people who discipline the village will survive!"

A Tibetan man gritted his teeth and said, he drove faster and had just turned a bare mountain col. Suddenly, he heard several screams of "swish, swish, swish", and he suddenly felt a pain in his chest and his breath was suffocated.

The Tubo man looked down and saw that a sharp arrow had penetrated his leather armor and driven into his chest.

The Tubo leader raised his head in shock and saw more than 300 Song soldiers lying on the road in front of him. Suddenly he heard the sound of bowstrings, and another fluffy arrow struck. There were forty or fifty who had just turned their horses around the mountain col.

All the Tubo people were instantly killed in this round of arrow attacks.

"Damn it! There are people buried here too!" The eyes of those Tubo people who thought they had escaped by chance had anger and fear in their eyes. Another Tubo leader pulled out his sword and roared: "Charge over, this is

The Song soldiers are all infantry, so it is not difficult to kill them!"

Now this group of Tubo tribesmen can only fight against the trapped beasts. Now, they are surrounded by ravines and chasms, and there are a large number of Song soldiers and horse troops pursuing them. They have nowhere to escape. They can only charge with their horses to fight a bloody road!

"Kill!" The desperate group of Tubo tribesmen, led by that man, roared like a group of bloodthirsty wild wolves, whipping their horses with whips and sprinting towards the Song army blocking the road. They were far away from the group.

The infantry of the Song army were not far away, and the archers on the opposite side only had time to shoot two more arrows at most. Now was the time to risk their lives, it was better than letting these fierce and fighting Tubo herdsmen sit idle and wait for death!

Arrows came again like locusts, and the ears of the Tubo people were filled with the whistling sound of arrows piercing the air. From time to time, someone was hit by an arrow and fell off his horse, but no companion would dismount to help, and no one would even look back at them.

The remaining riders only see a group of Song troops blocking their way. Only by rushing them can they find a way out!

When the Tibetan riders were only about 20 steps away from the Song army, some were already howling and clenching their scimitars and firmly stepping on the stirrups with both feet. They all made a slashing posture. As long as they could get closer, they would

Getting closer, there are now more than a hundred horses left. With the impact of the horses, this group of Tubo people believe that the Song army infantry in front of them are just a group of lambs to be slaughtered, and they can carve a bloody path if they are left alone.

.

Among the infantrymen of the Song army, the sword and shield bearers and spearmen had already rushed to the front, setting up their spears and shields, preparing to resist the impact of the Tibetan riders. When a big Tibetan man bore the brunt of the attack, he rode his horse and rushed to the front of the Song army's formation, hissing.

When the monster screamed and was about to slash with his sword, suddenly a figure suddenly rushed out from among the Song saber shield bearers and spearmen, and rushed straight towards the Tubo rider!

The big man was dressed as an infantryman of the Song Dynasty. He wore a gold seal on his face, had tiger eyes and thick eyebrows, and was majestic. But he saw two cold gleams suddenly appeared on the big man's waist, and two snow-ice iron swords were unsheathed.

The officer jumped up high into the sky and chopped the big Tibetan man off his horse with just one blow of his sword!

This majestic and majestic officer is, of course, Wu Songwu Erlang, who has been separated from his sworn brother Xiao Tang for a long time and is now serving as the infantry commander in the Western Army!

Ever since Wu Song had small-scale conflicts with surrounding Dangxiang, Tubo and other tribes in the Western Army, he had never been as afraid of swords as a new recruit. On the contrary, the more fierce the battle and the fiercer the enemy, the more excited Wu Song became and started fighting.

The more brave he becomes, just as Wu Song said back then: With this pair of fists, I can only hit the heroes in the world. Now when he draws out his two swords, the more fierce the enemy is, the harder he kills!

Although since the last war between Song and Xia, the Xixia Kingdom has ceased its activities and does not dare to launch a large-scale war against the Song Kingdom. However, in the western border areas of the Song Dynasty, various ethnic groups were mixed, and from time to time, nomadic tribes bandits would rob Song Village.

Zhen. Wu Song also honed his martial arts skills in the flames of war several times in such an environment, making his swordsmanship, fists and kicks even more fierce and capable despite his already outstanding skills!

The long neigh of the war horse was heard again, and then the Tubo rider who was about to attack waved his saber and slashed straight at Wu Song. Wu Song instead stepped towards the galloping horse and ran wildly. He put his two sabers together and held them with one hand.

He grabbed the knife-wielding wrist of the Tibetan man and pulled him off the horse. Wu Song then stepped on the saddle of the ownerless war horse and flew into the air. He kicked the Tibetan rider off the horse with a flying kick, and then he borrowed another

With the force of falling, he slashed out with his sword, and in less than a blink of an eye, he knocked three big men off their horses!

The shrill sword light caused a bloody storm. At this moment, Wu Song was like swimming upstream in a torrent of powerful Tubo cavalry. He even killed five or six more people in a row on foot while fighting on foot, forcing the Tubo people to retreat.

The rider's fierce momentum stalled!

The riders behind them rushed forward on horseback. They knew that in order to break out of the encirclement, they must immediately kill the tiger-like Song army in front of them! These Tubo people raised their swords and spears at the same time, surrounding Wu Song and slashing and stabbing Wu Song.

Ji Ji twisted his body and took advantage of a spear that had just brushed against his body, and suddenly he started to move around among the riders.

In the midst of lightning and flint, Wu Song turned sideways and casually knocked a knight off his horse. He either blocked or dodged, and rushed in front of the leader of the group of Tubo tribesmen. The Tubo leader saw this fierce and unmatched man,

The very annoying Song Army general came to the front. He roared violently and stabbed Wu Song's heart with the horse spear in his hand. The spear was driven by the momentum of the horse, fast and fast, and it was extremely fierce!

Wu Song, who had excellent reflexes, was well prepared. He sided with his body and dodged the horse spear. Then he turned his right hand to the sword, grabbed the man's spear pole and yanked hard, taking off both his body and his weapons. Get off the horse! Without waiting for the Tibetan people around to come to help, Wu Song immediately raised the sword with his left hand and dropped the sword. With a hiccup, he chopped off the big head of the Tibetan man!

Seeing Wu Song's extraordinary power, the three hundred Song army infantry also raised their swords and spears, and killed the remaining Tibetan horsemen. At this time, they heard the thunderous sound of horse hooves, and hundreds of Song Dynasty Western Army cavalry had come from the mountain col. Chase around the corner.

There was a cavalry general in the group of horsemen who saw clearly what was going on. He immediately burst into laughter and smiled at the two or three generals who were watching: "We won! Hahaha! The Sa family won! Zhiniang thief, you guys These few newly transferred soldiers to Pingxia City also said that with only 300 infantry, they would not be able to stop this group of Tibetans! What am I talking about? With Brother Wu here, they will definitely be able to stop them! After the fight, the Sa family will ask you for a reward, and since you guys have lost, you can't refuse!"

When Wu Song heard this, he wiped the blood on his face and shouted loudly: "Po Han Wu! You are using my grandfather's bets to make money again! How much money did you win? You must count me in!"
