Chapter 838 The two armies join forces, this is our coach
Hujia and trumpet sounds continued one after another, rang out from the Xia army. The Song army guarding the wall of the border village could also clearly see the attack coming from several miles away, flying into the Xia army formation with various flags. Gradually approaching our own city wall.
Hundreds more patrolling light cavalry rushed out from the Xia army's formation. They galloped and formed a sparse cavalry formation. However, seeing the cavalry whistle coming and going, they were able to ride to the edge of the Song army's crossbow range. .
There was a loud sound of gongs and drums on the connected Zhenbian Walled City Wall, and the Jingnan Army and the Song Army of the Fifth Battalion commanded by Liu Zhongwu also hurriedly passed military orders. Many military soldiers were led by officers wearing helmets and armor and quickly left the camp. Jumping out, they quickly climbed up the village wall. A large group of handymen from the camp also came out and reinforced and thickened the Luzhai inside the village wall at the entrance of the village.
In the city wall, from the top of the city wall to the open space in front of the city gate, there are also groups of Song sergeants standing in formation, holding cold spears and knives, as well as layers of crossbowmen. Each one has gold in a big pot. The juice and oil were boiling, the arrows and crossbows were ready, and the rolling logs and stones were carried up behind the wall by the civilians.
At this time, Liu Zhongwu and the generals of the Jingnan Army also came to the city wall. They saw that the flag officers of Qu were frequently giving orders under the command of Wang Jin. Although the Xia army came suddenly, the preparations for Qu's battle inside the city were in order, and there was no trace of anything. Flustered, Liu Zhongwu looked at Wang Jin with more approval.
Sure enough, he is worthy of being a warrior who was born as a former instructor of the 800,000 Imperial Army. Almost all the lieutenants of the Jingnan Army were refugees recruited during the banditry in Hedong. However, under the guidance of instructor Wang, everyone knows that military orders are like a mountain, and they are forbidden. The army was formed not long ago, but now its appearance is far superior to that of the ordinary Forbidden Army under the jurisdiction of the Military Department.
It's just that this Wang Jin entered the royal capital for team training, but he was also the person named by Captain Gao to get rid of him...
Just as Liu Zhongwu was concentrating on his thoughts, the Xia army's formation began to move again. Whistles sounded from the Xia army's rangers, and rows of heavily armored infantry emerged from the formation, with long spears in their hands. They formed a steel forest and slowly surged towards the Zhenbian Village. Behind them were crossbowmen armed with long bows and arrows and hard crossbows. There was a huge crowd of people. At a rough glance, there were nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses, and countless troops. They immediately gathered into a large formation and advanced forward. Seeing the waves of people rolling, the soldiers of the Song Army who were guarding the city suddenly felt a chilling air coming towards their faces!
As Wang Jin issued another military order, quivers filled with crossbows and arrows were piled on the walls of the wall, soldiers and civilians piled earth and stones, and the smoke rising from the boiling water and oil filled the air. The red tassels on the Fanyang hats worn by the imperial soldiers of the Song Dynasty on the wall also merged into a sea of fire. The sunlight reflected the rows of weapons and shone with cold light. The majestic atmosphere in the walled city could not help but make people feel suffocated!
Liu Qi watched the Xia army's movements, frowned, and said: "It doesn't look like the Xia army is going to attack the city. Although there are a large number of archers and crossbowmen coming, there are no siege equipment. How can the enemy attack?" What’s the idea?”
Liu Zhongwu frowned and said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid the Xia thieves are still attacking the city in vain and disturbing the city in reality. Before they are completely sure of conquering Zhenbian Village, they are also testing the movements of our troops in Suidezhou. What if? In this way, our army is on strict alert and must not be provoked by the enemy and try to get his way."
After hearing this, Niu Gao said secretly: The enemy army is right in front of him. What can he do if he takes the initiative to attack? He watches the group of soldiers and horses running around the surrounding areas all day long, but only defends the walled city. This is still a killing.
battle!?
On the city wall, Li Yongqi was also paying attention to the Xia Army's movements. When he looked toward the enemy's rear formation, his eyes suddenly condensed and he immediately said: "Huh? There seems to be something strange in the Xia Army's rear array."
Liu Zhongwu, Liu Qi and other generals also hurriedly looked towards the rear of Xia's army. Suddenly they saw what seemed like hundreds of powerful cavalry suddenly crashing out of the mountain col in the distance. Their heads were swaying and their iron hooves were galloping. They were charging toward the rear of Xia's army.
go!
At this time, the Xia army's attention was entirely focused on the Song army stationed in the frontier village of Zhenbian. A large number of poorly armored archers and crossbowmen were in the rear. When they heard faint sounds coming from behind, they finally realized that an enemy army was suddenly approaching.
, and when they launched an assault on them, the sound of horse hooves was already thundering in their ears. A military flag embroidered with the word "Song" was rolling and flying in the hunting wind. Hundreds of Song army's powerful cavalry had already gathered into an incomparable force.
The turbulent and violent current that had been blocked had already rushed in front of them!
The icy murderous intention suddenly swept over. When the Xia Army's crossbowmen raised their long bows in panic, Yiqi Rufei had already rushed over, and suddenly there was another roar like a wolf's howl.
When the sound rang out, the fierce general who rushed into the Xia Army's rear formation swept forward with a thunderous force. There was another muffled sound of "Bang!" before a Xia Army general who was supervising the rear formation had time to draw it out.
The scimitar at his waist was knocked out of the saddle by this powerful and heavy blow! In mid-air, the general opened his mouth and spurted out a large stream of blood. His sternum and internal organs were almost completely shattered, and
Killed on the spot!
The fierce general who used the gold-chiselled spear was naturally Xiao Tang, who rushed to the left of Zhenbian Village with Guan Sheng's troops. He found that a large number of Xia troops were approaching the city, and the enemy's rear was mostly composed of crossbowmen with poor armor.
At this time, the formations of Xia's soldiers and horses were all facing the Song Army's stronghold in front of them. So Xiao Tang made an immediate decision, and with Hua Rong, Guan Sheng and other subordinates, they suddenly launched a surprise attack on the Xia Army's rear formation. At this time, he saw the silhouette of a big gun in his hand.
The bodies of more than a dozen Xia Army crossbowmen bloomed with bloody flowers in an instant, and their crotches were red with fire. The wind-neighing horses galloped for thousands of miles, and in an instant, seven or eight Xia Army infantrymen were hit with broken muscles and bones.
!
In the midst of a wave of people turning on their backs, dozens of Xia soldiers rushed towards Xiao Tang, who was not afraid of death. Sharp weapons slashed at him from all directions. Xiao Tang looked up to the sky and howled, and the big gun in his hand swept across all directions. A series of fierce collisions suddenly started.
Immediately, many Xia troops were swept away by Xiao Tang's big guns and flew upside down! The powerful cavalry of the Song army behind them immediately came and killed them, like hundreds of evil wolves rushing into the Xia army's rear formation. Their sabers and lances flew up and down.
Immediately there was another wave of blood in the sky, and flesh and blood were seen flying together with the severed limbs, and miserable screams suddenly resounded!
Not far away, a Xia general was about to give orders to the swordsmen and shieldmen in the front line. When the light cavalry returned to defend against the Song army that was suddenly coming from the rear, a red-faced and long-bearded cavalryman drove a fiery red war horse violently.
Rushing in front of him, the slightly closed phoenix eyes of the Song Army cavalry general suddenly opened, and the Qinglong Yanyue Sword in his hand had turned into a green rainbow in an instant, passing over the Xia Army general's neck, "Poof!"
With a muffled sound, Nuo Da's skull rolled down to the ground, and a stream of blood spurted from the neck of the headless corpse, spraying blood mist all over the city!
And in the cavalry formation, there was another jade-faced cavalry general who was eyeing the target. He let go of his right hand, and the iron bow that was held as full as the full moon made a muffled sound. A wolf-tooth arrow as thick as a thumb shot out from the string.
, a Xia Army general who was nearly a hundred steps away suddenly felt a cold light coming like lightning, and the long arrow shot from the air pierced his throat immediately!
On the wall of the Zhenbian Walled City, Liu Zhongwu, Liu Qi and the generals of the Jingnan Army saw that friendly troops suddenly came out and killed all the Xia Army's rear array, which also caused the Xia Army's front array to collapse. They all also
Surprised and delighted, Niu Gao stretched his neck and looked as hard as he could. When he finally saw that the person leading the powerful cavalry into the Xia army's rear formation was a man holding a chiseled gold spear and riding a horse as red as charcoal.
After the tiger general, his face immediately showed joy, and he shouted loudly: "It's brother Xiao Tang! There are also brothers Hua Rong and Guan Dujian!"
Niu Gao immediately picked up his mace and galloped down from the city wall with long strides. At this time, he shouted: "My sons, prepare your horses quickly and go out of the city to kill the thieves! Lead us to Jingnan."
The commander-in-chief of the army has entered the camp!"
