Chapter 903 You can't hide from the disaster, so you can do it!
On the ancient mountain road on the border between Song and Xia, a snake-like procession meanders forward. There are wheelbarrows, peace wagons, mule carts and other types of vehicles in the procession. Those vehicles may have loaded goods on their backs.
Food, or riding on some old and weak women and children, and more people walking on foot, including ragged refugees, well-dressed wealthy families, or Xiangjunxiangyong in simple armor, all kinds of people
The people all crowded together and marched slowly. Hua Rong and his generals shouted loudly and ordered groups of light cavalry to rush back and forth to protect the people. From time to time, people in the crowd looked towards the north in fear, for fear of those wolf-like people from Xia Kingdom.
Tiger's soldiers came again and massacred the Song people like them.
Hua Rong led his army to force back the Xia army soldiers who were about to massacre the village. When these Song people realized that they had finally saved a life, those people who had just lost their relatives and close friends began to cry loudly, and some people even screamed hoarse in the fleeing team.
He was calling out, trying to find his separated family members. There were also many people who were seriously injured when the Xia army burned, killed and looted the city. They fell on the peace carts and groaned in pain. Looking from a distance, they saw this
The whole team was in mourning.
The Song Army cavalry led by Hua Rong rode horses to guard the front and rear of the team. Some of them had roughly bandaged their wounds, but they still looked around vigilantly with their tired bodies. They did not know that the Xia Army Brigade
When will the troops come? The enemy's strength will be several times greater than our own. At this time, a large group of fleeing Song people will hinder their progress. I am afraid that the Xia army will not easily catch up with this group, so
The expressions on the faces of these soldiers were also very solemn, and most of them were escorting these people to escape the Xia army's pursuit with a death wish.
"General Hua! There is movement ahead!" Suddenly a member of the cavalry and light cavalry galloped over to warn him. Hua Rong immediately turned his head and looked around. He saw a black dot appearing on the northwest horizon. The black dot quickly grew in size.
It also allows people to see clearly that another line of vehicles is coming this way.
There was another commotion among the people who were fleeing. Some people panicked and frightened. Many women and children hugged their crying children tightly. The carriages and horses soon became a mess. But the people holding the iron-tired bows tightly
Hua Rong probably glanced at the flags of the team and the armor of the strong soldiers in the team, but he took a long breath and said loudly: "Teach the people not to panic! It is the two generals Zhai Xing and Zhai Jin who are coming to pick them up.
Attract soldiers and horses from other military camps!"
In an instant, two brothers, Zhai Xing and Zhai Jin, galloped in front of Hua Rong. They raised their hands on the horse and said, "General Hua, how many people were rescued from Wayao Village?"
Hua Rong returned the gift to the Zhai brothers and said: "The Xia thieves came with great ferocity, and I led the army to rescue them too late. More than 2,000 officers, soldiers and civilians in Jidian Village were killed, and even more injured.
They were countless, but at least they saved more than 3,000 people and did not teach the Xia thieves to massacre all the people in the village."
Hearing this, Zhai Xing replied: "Including the soldiers and civilians from the two villages that Commander Li brought in yesterday, more than 20,000 people have been rescued and moved inward, but... the people escorted by our group of people
, there are countless people carrying backpacks, and we have traveled more than twenty miles today. I am afraid that the Xia bandit army will be chasing them soon. With just our own hands... I am afraid that we will not be able to withstand the enemy."
Hua Rong hesitated for a moment, and then said loudly: "Now I can't care much. Since we are the people of the Song Dynasty, and other military commanders have not moved, we can't ignore it! My brother is thinking about the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians on the border. Now we are here
A few people just want to be able to escort the people to the walled city as soon as possible. Saving tens of thousands of lives is better than making Luotian Dajiao."
Zhai Jin also nodded immediately after hearing the words and said: "What General Hua said is true, but if the Xia thieves really catch up, the people will not be able to move quickly. If they run away blindly, if the enemy rides and attacks the people from the flank, I am afraid that the whole people will be killed."
The team will be scattered by the Xia thieves, and we will have no choice but to be slaughtered by them. Commander Xiao Jie ordered us to act expeditiously. If the Xia army comes in a hurry and catches up with the people who have moved in, they will intercept and kill them along the way, which will involve the safety of the people.
, if it is not possible to go south, then go east, lead the people to move to the walled city where Xiao Jieshuai is stationed, and place them there...
However, there is still more than thirty miles to go to the east. If the Xia thieves arrive at this time, we will not be able to get rid of the pursuers unless we leave these people behind. By then, even if the enemy's army is heavy, we will only be able to score points.
It's time to send out a group of soldiers and fight to the death."
Hua Rong also knew that when the enemy was outnumbered, he had to dedicate some light cavalry to resist the enemy's thousands of troops. This was tantamount to seeking death. However, in order for these helpless people to escape smoothly, the army
The hot-blooded men should risk their lives to stop the enemy's pursuit. But if the Xia army really catches up with these two groups of fleeing people, knowing that they will escape death, now Hua Rong, Zhai Xing, and Zhai Jin will be
Who is going to carry out such a dangerous mission?
Hua Rong and the Zhai brothers rode forward while discussing how to stay on guard before sending these people safely to the east walled city. However, at this moment, Hua Rong and others heard a Qingqi shouting a warning,
Hua Rong immediately looked to the north, and saw a black line slowly crawling across the horizon in the vast wilderness, and there were faint sounds like thunder, and the black line on the horizon also
It became denser, a long and loud horn sound suddenly sounded, and the black line rushed forward faster and faster.
Hua Rong, Zhai Xing, and Zhai Jin, along with the Song army under their command, listened to the faint roar. Many of their horses began to kick uneasily, and the ground beneath their feet began to tremble slightly.
Hua Rong's face suddenly changed. Zhai Xing and Zhai Jin couldn't help but cursed at the same time. The Song army officers and soldiers behind them looked horrified because they could already take a look at the huge cavalry force of the Xia army. At this time, they finally
Caught up with their team!
"Kill!!!" the cavalry general in the vanguard of the Xia Army roared, and slashed down the sword in his hand. He then waved his horse's head and rode straight to the flank of the cavalry formation.
"Kill!!!" Thousands of Xixia troops responded with a roar, and immediately drove their fierce horses to gallop. Thousands of iron hooves stirred up dust in the sky. The cavalry in the first few rows tightened their spears and raised their sabers, and more
The knights of the Xia army raised their horned bows and drew arrows, preparing to use their usual nomadic hunting skills to chase down the unarmed Song people in front of them as if they were prey!
A large group of cavalry chased and killed the people walking on foot. This was no different than a group of hungry wolves rushing into a group of sheep to feast. What's more, the pursuers this time were different from Zhuo La and the garrison troops under the Nanjun Division. Most of them were also
The elite of the Xia army's cavalry are skilled knights who can be called tiger and wolf soldiers. This area belongs to the position where the forces of Song and Xia are intertwined. When Cha Ge led his army to the nearby area, he heard that Song troops were rescuing the surrounding area.
When there were soldiers and civilians in the military villages and counties and towns under the rule of the Song Dynasty, he made a prompt decision and ordered the vanguard cavalry to go ahead and hunt down the migrating troops and civilians of the Song Dynasty.
General Xia, who commanded these cavalry units, was originally a ruthless and fierce man. He also knew very well and pursued and killed these vulnerable refugees. Fighting with the weak Song army was undoubtedly a bad job. He wanted to kill them all.
However, some of the young men of the Song Dynasty and their women could be left as slaves. Therefore, when the Xia army discovered that there were two teams escorting nearly 10,000 Song refugees, the Xia army general who led the team immediately showed ecstasy.
Colorful, he couldn't wait to order his men to charge, not only to kill all the Song troops who were at an absolute disadvantage in numbers, but not to let a single Song citizen escape!
When the Song people and civilians saw that the Xia people were coming, they all hurriedly headed east like crazy, inevitably fleeing. Many peace wagons used to carry food and clothing were abandoned aside, among the commotion of the crowd.
The sound of crying and howling was endless. Due to the overcrowding, some old and weak people and children were knocked to the ground and separated from their children and parents. They howled heart-piercingly and called for their relatives. Many Song Army cavalrymen rushed to the ground.
The horses galloped around, shouting at the top of their lungs to order the frightened people not to panic, but for a while they could not control the crowd's chaotic momentum.
Seeing the dust rising all over the sky, and the massive enemy troops approaching immediately, Zhai Jin grinned, waved his knife, and said to Hua Rong and Zhai Xing on the side: "Zhi Niang, what are you really afraid of?"
What's going on! But since you can't escape, just sacrifice your life to accompany me, and teach me how to kill happily! General Hua, brother, I will leave these nearly ten thousand soldiers and civilians to you!"
