Chapter 819 Xixia famous general, surprise attack tactics
Arrows whistled and killing sounds spread everywhere. A shower of arrows was fired with a shrill whistle. Some of the Song soldiers who fled back to Linxia City were hit by arrows and fell to the ground. They were fetching water and wood outside the city, but they were suddenly attacked.
There were about eight or nine hundred Song soldiers left in the surprise attack by the Xia army. At this time, most of them were in incomplete clothes and lacked weapons such as swords, guns, shields and oars. They could only fight with the swarming enemy troops with all their strength.
Fate ran towards the city.
After all, Linxia City can be regarded as a walled city belonging to the rear of the Song Army. Even if the Xia Army may not hesitate to launch surprise attacks in the steep Hengshan Mountains, the military and health in the city must eat, sleep, rest and work.
They maintain a tense state of alert at all times throughout the twelve hours of the day. Therefore, under a sudden attack, they can only escape to the city as quickly as possible, otherwise they will have to wait until the suspension bridge is raised and the city gate is closed.
From that moment on, these Song soldiers could only let themselves be slaughtered by the Xia warriors chasing behind them!
Although most of the Xia soldiers who were fighting across the mountains and plains were infantry, they were now like crazy beasts. It seemed that any target they caught up would be mercilessly trampled to pulp and chopped into pieces. However,
Seeing flags fluttering, countless Qiang soil and dust billowing from across the mountains, the rain of arrows is as dense as locusts, the sharp steel knife reveals the biting cold, and the crazy shouts of killing are deafening. On the top of the city, Pei Zhong's face changed.
He was livid, and there were veins popping out on his forehead, but he saw the running Xia army picking up their bows and arrows from time to time, but Pei Zhong still did not allow the crossbowmen on the city to attack the enemy troops who could even enter the shooting range of the powerful crossbows.
Fire up the crossbow.
Although the long-range weapons such as the divine arm bows equipped by the Song army are extremely lethal, they are inconvenient to shoot at the enemy. If they shoot directly at the city wall... there are hundreds of Paoze's colleagues in front of the rushing Xia army.
.
The gate on the west side of Linxia City suddenly made a creaking sound. Many of the soldiers of the Song Army who were fleeing into the city suddenly had a desperate thought. The supervisor sent by the imperial court was a man of ten thousand gold.
The food and baggage must not be lost... Under this situation, since the Xia army cannot be allowed to rush into the city, then these soldiers who have no time to rush to the city can also be killed on the battlefield.
Abandoned chess piece.
However, the half-open city gate did not gradually close, but was slowly opened.
Only a moment later, a tiger general was seen wearing strong armor, holding a large chisel-gold spear in his hand, and under his crotch, the fiery red horse neighing like a ball of flames rushed out of the city gate like a ball of rushing flames!
Behind him, there was a handsome general with an elegant face, wearing a riding bow, with a bright silver spear hanging on the saddle, and riding a divine white horse under his crotch. He also led more than ten cavalrymen to file away, while following the tiger general in front of him in the opposite direction.
The Xia army rushed over! After more than ten strong cavalry rushed out of the city gate, two more battalions of Song army soldiers rushed out. They quickly formed a formation and hid their bodies behind a giant shield as high as one person.
Naturally, it was Xiao Tang who rushed out of Linxia City to meet the Song army outside the city. Hua Rong and his subordinate Yanyun Cavalry Archery were very good at running on horseback. Those athletes shot seven or eight arrows in succession with the time of Xiao Li Guang's half cup of tea.
The execution is fast and accurate, and extremely ruthless!
More than thirty or forty Xia warriors were hit by arrows and fell to the ground. Nearly half of the Song army soldiers outside the city also ran past Xiao Tang, getting closer and closer to the Linxia city gate. However, Xiao Tang was still leading the way.
As soon as he saw it, he was about to rush into the Xia army's front formation!
The cold light of rows of weapons came from in front of him, and countless arrows had already been nocked. Seeing that if Xiao Tang was a little delayed, let alone blocking the enemy, the overwhelming rain of arrows would soon be fired at him.
Teach him to avoid it!
It was too late, but it was too soon. Xiao Tang seemed to have a telepathic connection with the flaming red horse under its crotch. It hissed and then suddenly jumped up again. The moment it crashed into the Xia army's formation, the gold-chiseled horse in Xiao Tang's hand
The big gun had already turned into a dazzling round of light! Amidst the roar of spring thunder, Xiao Tang just swung his head and covered his face with wild slashes. There was no need to pay too much attention to the rules of the moves in his hands, because there were enemies in front, behind, left and right. Xiao Tang
With every shot, three or four enemies would be chopped off and sent flying!
While Xiao Tang struggled to kill the Xia Army soldiers around him, he parried the long knives and sharp blades that were constantly coming from all directions. The horse under his crotch was spinning around in the narrow space, and his hooves as big as a bowl were constantly digging and kicking.
A lot of Xia Army infantry were turned over. After a while, Xiao Tang's body was covered with blood, and the enemy's blood spattered on his body, while the Xia Army infantry rushing toward him became more and more numerous.
The more. From the moment he rushed into the enemy's formation to now, Xiao Tang has lost count of how many enemy soldiers he has knocked down and killed!
"Whoosh!" A sharp arrow struck, piercing the throat of a Xiaguo officer. As soon as bright red blood shot out, Hua Rong had already rushed to Xiao Tang's side with his gun drawn.
After turning over four or five enemy troops, Hua Rong hurriedly shouted to Xiao Tang: "Brother, almost all the soldiers outside the city have rushed back to the city, we should retreat quickly as well!"
"Go! Go quickly!"
Xiao Tang swung the big gun in his hand and forced back the Xia infantry who were coming from all sides for a moment. Taking advantage of the moment, he and Hua Rong immediately turned their horses and ran towards Linxia City. With him and Hua Rong
Naturally, more than ten cavalry archers could not fight to the death with thousands of enemy troops. Xiao Tang first blocked the enemy troops for a moment with his unstoppable martial arts skills, and now he could only use the speed of his horses to rush into the city.
Go inside.
However, Xiao Tang and Hua Rong threw away the Xia infantry and rode in a circle with Yan Yun's dozen or so cavalrymen. Before they could get far, countless archers from the Xia army leaned out, pulled out their bowstrings, and immediately charged towards them.
Xiao Tang and others came over like a rain of locust arrows!
Before they could take off the light shield made of rattan from the saddle, five or six Yanyun cavalrymen had already fallen straight from the saddle, and crashed into the ground with a loud bang along with the galloping war horses under their crotches.
The ground slid far away again! Together with the athletes who were killed in the expedition against Hedong Tianhu, there were now only ten people left in Yanyun's Eighteen Cavalry Shooters. Xiao Tang gritted his teeth when he saw it, but he could only keep swinging his gun.
The cluster of arrows fired after falling down covered the rest of the army and quickly retreated into the city!
At this time, all the Song soldiers who survived outside the city had also withdrawn into the city. Xiao Tang and Hua Rong, who were waiting for the break, also rode their horses across the trench outside the city gate. When they were about to rush out of the city, they saw a mass behind them.
The densely packed wolf-fang arrows of locusts flew over with a shrill roar. The Song army armed with shields and oars at the city gate hurriedly formed a formation to block, and there was another series of urgent loud noises of "tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk".
The face was instantly covered with a layer of arrows!
"Fuck you! Do it! What a superb shooting skill, you're so fucking talented!"
Pei Zhong on the city's head mountain saw that Xiao Tang and his cavalry had all retreated to the city while the Song troops covering the outside of the city had retreated into the city. He slapped the top of the city wall fiercely, praised him, and roared hysterically: "Fire the crossbows."
!”
The infantry of the Xia army, who were about to take advantage of the situation and rush into the city, suddenly heard a shrill sound of breaking wind, and thousands of sharp arrows and crossbow arrows were fired at their faces! In an instant, the soldiers were on their backs, and the wooden shields in their hands were shot through.
Dead, countless flesh and blood bodies were also shot into sieves. Nearly five or six hundred Xia army infantrymen, most of whom only wore leather robes and leather armor, were shot to death in an instant under the intensive fire from the divine arm bow! In the original situation,
At the same time that the unstoppable Xia army's charge was halted, the gates of Linxia City were also tightly closed.
At the foot of Hengshan Mountain, a Xia general stared coldly at the fierce fighting in Linxia City. He said coldly: "I didn't expect that among the Song troops guarding Linxia City, there were such brave warriors... But I didn't notice.
Ge Ningling (Ningling, the name of the Western Xia nobility, meaning the king) was right. Although a surprise attack on Linxia City would involve great dangers, the Song army's offensive was so urgent now that he did not expect that our army would cross the Hengshan Mountains to make a surprise attack.
Plan. No matter the baggage, food and grass in the city, or the important ministers of the Song Dynasty here... they must also fall into the hands of our army!"
