Chapter 858 Peng Yuan Ranger, Gan Long Li Xiaozhong
Bearing the brunt of the attack, the man who led the hundreds of cavalry that rushed out of the wall of the dock galloped forward. The iron spear in his hand was also spitting out thrusts as fast as lightning. Every time he thrust a spear, one of the Xia Army knights would be shot and fell from his horse.
, horses neighed, people howled, and blood spattered. Although this group of light cavalry was small in number, it caused Xia army's rear formation to collapse again.
The archers above the dock wall were also shooting and supporting. Yao Pingzhong, Niu Gao and the man who led more than a hundred powerful cavalry rushed into the formation and fought hard. Then they ordered their men to drive the cavalry in a roundabout way, and they must not fall into the enemy's layers of interception.
Among them. With their troops at a disadvantage, Yao Pingzhong and others can only lead their light cavalry and fly like flying, trying to buy time until the army can quickly come to their aid after the attack is reported.
Finally, in the Xia army's formation, a sharp-eyed officer suddenly shouted a warning. The Xia army and horses, which were rushing out from all directions toward Yao Pingzhong, Niu Gao, and the cavalry led by the man from the dock wall, suddenly saw the gloomy sky.
Below, a red military flag suddenly raised from the other side of the horizon. Under the flag, a large black mass of heavily armored cavalry was charging over the mountains and plains. Horse hooves were flying, mud and grass were flying, and murderous intent seemed to fill the sky and the earth in an instant.
The sharp spears and shiny steel knives were raised high, flashing a heart-stopping cold light.
At the back of the Song Army's cavalry formation, the red tassels sprinkled on Fan Yang's felts seemed to have gathered into a sea of fire. A large number of soldiers marched forward in uniform steps, holding flags and drums, horns blaring, and crossbows in the formation.
The armor on the hands, spearmen, and sword and shield hands also clanked, but seeing such a scene of the mobilization of the army, it can't help but scare people!
In front of the infantry formation of the Song Army that suddenly emerged, Xiao Tang galloped out on horseback. He stared at the Xia Army troops around the dock wall in front for a moment, then pointed the gold-plated spear in his hand forward fiercely, but he heard the sound of the bowstring.
, the machine fired continuously, and a bunch of sharp crossbow arrows whizzed out from behind him, mixed with the sound of screaming, and rushed towards the enemy army. The arrows rained one after another, and hundreds of Xia troops, horse and infantry were shot and turned upside down.
Seeing that the enemy troops were approaching with a murderous whirlwind in the sky, the soldiers in the Xia Army's formation began to retreat one after another. Originally, after breaking through Xiao Pass, these troops only came to rob the villages and towns under the rule of the Zhenrong Army.
, now that a large number of Song troops have arrived and have taken the lead, the generals of the Xia army also made a decisive decision and immediately ordered their troops to retreat, intending to conserve their strength and wait to join other troops before fighting against this group of Song troops.
.
Xiao Tang quickly discovered the intentions of Xia's soldiers and horses. He immediately issued an order, ordering the heavy and light cavalry troops in the front line to quickly shrink their formation and form a wedge-shaped impact formation to pursue the enemy. However, the Xia army fought and fought.
After retreating, many infantry and square formations immediately gathered together and slowly began to retreat to the north. The charging cavalry formation of the Song Army swept past the Xia Army's square formation and flew past the two wings, detouring around the flanks, galloping and shooting, but
The Xia Army's formation, which had stabilized its formation, suddenly shot out a shower of arrows. From time to time, people on both sides were hit by arrows and fell to the ground. Until a group of cavalry passed by the Xia Army's formation from the side and began to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the enemy infantry arrayed on the edge.
.
The Qinglong Yanyue Sword in Guan Sheng's hand slashed left and right, causing blood to splash out. Dozens of soldiers in the corner of the enemy's formation were immediately chopped apart by him, and their flesh and blood flew everywhere. He relied on his superb sword skills to raise a flurry of flying weapons non-stop.
There was a rain of blood, and then the tiger roared, and he swung his sword to smash away the spear thrust by the famous Xia army cavalry general, and swept it with the momentum. After a head suddenly flew up, a cavity of blood spurted high into the sky! Guan Sheng
The rotating sword splattered with blood, and the enemies at close range were chopped up and killed one after another as if they were mowing grass.
However, with Guan Sheng's bravery, his cavalry raiding formation was unstoppable, but while the cavalry formation was attacking the Xia army's flanks in a roundabout way, there were also many light cavalry soldiers who could not withstand the spears and swords coming from all directions, and more than a hundred people immediately
Even the men and horses fell to the ground and were submerged in the dense formation of the Xia army. Although Xiao Tang and his troops suddenly rushed out and forced the Xia army to retreat, the wall of the dock here under the rule of the Zhenrong army was only
It was an encounter rather than a well-prepared annihilation battle. It was just a few groups of cavalry and light cavalry chasing and plundering the formation, and then attacking with bows, arrows and crossbows, which only caused the enemy to lay down another thousand corpses. However,
Most of the troops retreated in time. When Xiao Tang led the battalions of infantry to arrive not far from the dock wall, the Xia army had already retreated to a distance of two or three miles.
Xiao Tang also thought that the enemy's strength was unknown, and if he pursued fiercely, he might fall into an ambush by the enemy, so he ordered the cavalry led by Guan Sheng and other generals to return home. At this time, Niu Gao also galloped on his horse.
When he arrived in front of Xiao Tang, although the feather arrow stuck in his shoulder kept trembling with the jolting of the horse, Niu Gao didn't notice it and said to Xiao Tang: "Fortunately, brother arrived in time and didn't scream at all."
This place was broken by Xia thieves!"
Xiao Tang saw the blood flowing from the wound of the arrow stuck in Niu Gao's shoulder, and quickly ordered the doctor who had been summoned to accompany the army to treat Niu Gao's arrow sore. He also said: "You Niu Gao, although you are brave in battle, you are also
Be more cautious."
The military doctor arrived just in time. Niu Gao immediately jumped off his horse, took off his armor and tore open his robe, revealing half of his dark muscles. His body was already dripping with sweat and blood. Before the doctor could say anything, Niu Gao was already there.
He sat cross-legged on the ground, straightened his bloody arms at his shoulders, and asked the doctor to remove the arrowhead for him, bandage the wound, and said with a grin: "It's just a small injury, how serious is it? Brother, come here."
It’s quick, but if it’s a little later, I can still kill more summer thieves for fun!”
At this time, Yao Pingzhong and the man who led the army to guard the wall of Jianrong also rode horses and rushed in front of Xiao Tang. Niu Gao saw the man and praised him again: "You are also a leader, even a hundred cavalry dare to take the lead."
He seems to be a good man when he rushes out to fight alongside us!"
Xiao Tang and the confidant generals present saw that the man had a round head and a thick back, and his brows were full of vitality and vitality. His head was wrapped in a green gauze scarf, and his majestic body of more than eight feet was covered with a silk robe and a half-length silk robe.
The iron armor was covered with blood, and when the man saw Niu Gao sitting on the ground, shirtless, exposing half of his dark muscles, pulling out arrows and bandaging his face, his face did not change, he couldn't help but secretly praise him. Then the man saw that Xiao Tang seemed to be this Song army.
The commander, he immediately rolled off his saddle and dismounted, and Nabai said, "If all the gentlemen had not come to rescue me, the villain and the brothers in the wall would have been in bad luck. Po Tian was also a great helper, and the villain was deeply moved.
!”
But Xiao Tang saw that this man did not seem to be a forbidden officer general, and heard Niu Gaozan say that he only led a hundred cavalry and dared to rush into the formation to support him. Regardless of his martial arts and courage, he was indeed a hero, and he felt a friendship in his heart.
In his heart, he asked: "Look at this strong man, he doesn't seem to be a general on the march. I don't know what to call him?"
The man immediately paid homage again: "I dare not trouble this gentleman to ask questions. I am a native of Pengyuan, Ningzhou, and later moved to Gongzhou. My surname is Li and my given name is Xiaozhong. Because my family has little money, I like to make friends with Guanxi."
A hero, he was praised by his righteous friends, but he asked the villain to be a knight-errant Li Xiaozhong. Because the Xia thieves invaded the border, the villain was also born in Baoyi Village, so he led more than 2,000 people from the village under the rule of Qin Fenglu to bravely help the army to resist the enemy. He did not want the Xia thieves to
We are powerful, but we are trapped here. Fortunately, the generals rushed to help in time, but we dare not ask this general his name?"
--------------------------
Li Yanxian, also known as Shaoyan, whose real name was Li Xiaozhong. A famous general in the early Southern Song Dynasty, he was born in Pengyuan, Ningzhou (Ningxian County, Gansu Province), and later moved to Gongzhou (now Longxi, Gansu Province). He had a strategy, good adaptability, and integrity. In the first year of Jingkang, the Jin soldiers invaded Bian.
In Beijing, Li Yanxian spent all his wealth, recruited soldiers and horses from King Qin, and was awarded the title of Chengjie Lang. He led three thousand warriors to reinforce Bianjing. Later, he offended Qin Hui and was hunted down, so he had to change his name and escape. After the Jin soldiers occupied Hedong, Li Yanxian joined the army again. Guandong fell.
Because Li Yanxian desperately resisted the enemy, only Shaanzhou remained alone for two years, making it impossible for the Jin soldiers to advance straight in. During this period, Li Yanxian led the army and civilians of Shaanzhou City in more than two hundred battles, annihilating countless enemies, and finally fell because of the lack of food and reinforcements.
After his death, he was posthumously made the governor of Zhangwu and built a temple in Shangzhou, named Zhonglie.
