Chapter Thirty-Eight: Fighting to the Death
The weather has not been very good in the past few days, the wind is howling in winter, and the soldiers of the Zhenjiang Army are all from the south, and it is difficult for them to adapt to this cold weather for a while.
His hands were red from the cold, and even then, he had to clench his weapon and slash at the enemy in front of him.
After Tang Ning woke up yesterday, the first order he issued was to fight to the death and not retreat. Besides, in a place like Xiaoguan, if you want to retreat, where can you retreat?
In front of him was the invading army of Western Xia, and behind it was Weizhou of Western Xia. The dilemma, that's it.
The battle situation has developed to such an extent, and I have to say that Tang Ning really miscalculated when choosing the location. Because Tang Ning thought at that time, even if the Xia army came to attack Xiao Pass, he would not gather a large number of troops as a family. As long as the local population is 20,000, or even less than 30,000, the Zhenjiang army can cope with it.
Unexpectedly, the other party gathered 50,000 people to attack Xiao Pass at once, and the primary goal of cutting off the supply route was achieved, but next, he might also annihilate the entire Zhenjiang army for this matter.
Regret it? Regret is certain, but regret can't hurt half a hair of the Tangut people, let alone let the Tangut people be merciful and let themselves go.
Therefore, there is only one road in front of the Zhenjiang army, and that is to fight to the death without retreating.
"If the soldiers can't resist, you can go by yourself." Looking at Pei Xiantong, Tang Ning said.
"Why? I'm here to protect you. If the situation changes, I will definitely escort you out. ”
"You are protecting me, where can we go? This place is full of Xia troops, and their scouts are numerous. A few days ago, the person who came to call for the battle said that the wind and grass within a radius of 50 miles could not escape the eyes and ears of their unified army, but this was not just talking.
You rode away on your own fast horse, and with your skills, there was still a possibility of escaping. If you take me with you, you won't be able to run far and you'll be caught.
So as soon as the situation changes, you can ride away by yourself and leave me alone. Tang Ning replied with a wry smile.
Pei Xiantong narrowed his eyes and looked at Tang Ning carefully. After a while, he said, "Dog officer, I won't abandon you." I'm here to protect you.
If I leave you here and I run away, no one will know about it, but it will be remembered in my heart for the rest of my life.
The rest of my life will be troubled by this, and my Dao heart will be affected by it.
If you don't try it, how do you know if it's going to be like you say? What's more, whether Xiao Guan can be thrown away or not is two words, I am full of expectations for you! ”
"That's really thankful, but ......" Tang Ning touched his nose and tried to persuade him, but there was another gong and drum outside in unison. The Tangut people roared in unison, and the movement shook the heavens and the earth.
A new round of attacks is about to begin, Downing
Zi stood up, limped open the door and walked out.
The soldiers of the Song Army outside the gate are on guard, and now part of the entire Xiaoguan has been abandoned, and only the four areas of the second, third, fourth, and fifth cannot be abandoned.
Area 2 is less engaged and is responsible for storing supplies and housing wounded soldiers.
The four and fifth areas are the left and right flanks of the third area, and there is no room for error. Moreover, the terrain in areas 4 and 5 is the most complicated, and the Song army can also rely on the terrain to inflict huge casualties on the Tanguts.
The Song army had plenty of crossbow arrows, thanks to the broken city walls, and there were many stone bullets as throwables for the tiger squat cannon.
Six eight-bull crossbows and twenty tiger squat cannons were fired in unison, and the Xia army who was strung into a sugar gourd, and the Xia army who was smashed to the point of losing their heads abounded.
However, this was limited to the initial engagement, and once the infantry on both sides began to engage in hand-to-hand combat, the role of the Tiger Squat Cannon and the Eight Ox Crossbow would be greatly reduced.
However, the crossbowmen in the Zhenjiang army never stopped for a moment, and the hands with bows were already drenched in blood, and then they had to start using strong crossbows.
These people also used bows and crossbows to inflict damage on the Tanguts as much as possible at night, and the effect could not be said to be bad, but it could not be said to be good.
Wei Muduli was very depressed, he fought against that hairy boy yesterday and suffered a lot. I have never met an opponent who can compete with me in strength, and when I do, I am invincible.
And the hairy boy's physical strength is too abundant, and when he is out of breath, his breathing is still very steady.
Later, after withdrawing from Xiao Guan at night, Wei Muduli thought about it carefully, and felt that he must have put too much effort into the two guys before.
So as soon as he entered the city today, he began to look for the little bastard from yesterday.
"Come out! That bastard yesterday! Wei Muduli hammered his chest like a gorilla and yelled, "Come out and face me!" ”
Wei Mu Duli is tall, and among the general 1.71.8 meters tall among the Western Xia soldiers, his height of two meters is very eye-catching. Xiaoshi saw him at a glance, and his heart was happy at the moment.
The heart said that this human sandbag is here again, and that's great. I almost defeated this guy yesterday, but the Xia army began to retreat. I must catch your sandbag today and practice boxing every day in the future.
Thinking of this, Xiao Shi shouted: "Grandpa is here!" With that, he rushed over with a scream.
As the saying goes, enemies are very red when they meet, and as soon as Wei Muduli saw the small stone rushing over, he rushed up with a snort.
The two powerful guys collided passionately, and the people around them even felt that the ground under their feet was shaking.
"You said yesterday that Xiao Shi is inseparable from a No. 1 warrior, right?" Tang Ning asked Fang Yong, who was on crutches beside him.
Fang Yong yesterday
Tian was hammered by Wei Muduli with an old fist in the back, and he, who was wearing a step armor, was also directly vomited blood by this fist.
After the battle, he felt that his old waist was wasted, and he probably couldn't straighten up for a few days. So he went to Downing's temporary command post and was responsible for the dispatch of soldiers on the battlefield.
Hearing Tang Ning's inquiry, Fang Yong nodded and said, "That's right." That Wei Mudu was so powerful that he beat me like this with one punch, and then threw Yang Yingzheng aside in two strokes.
If Niu Shishi hadn't come out to fight him, I'm afraid Yang Yingzheng and I would have been beaten to death by this person. ”
"Hiss......" Tang Ning took a cool breath, Yang Yingzheng's level was also one of the best in the Zhenjiang Army. Now the number one master in the Zhenjiang army is undoubtedly Gao Shu, and the next few are Lin Wei, Cheng Yang, Yang Yingzheng, Qi Fu and Fang Yong.
These people are all foundational, and those who have no foundation are like gods, Zhu Mian, these two people are completely relying on a ruthless word.
"That being the case, if Wei Muduli dies, it will definitely affect the morale of the enemy. Quickly send someone to support Little Stone, and be sure to kill Wei Muduli! ”
Fang Yong smiled and said, "Don't worry, general, my subordinates have already made arrangements......
After slamming into each other, Wei Muduli and Xiao Shi did not stop. Xiaoshi raised his leg and kicked it over, but was parted by Wei Muduli's thigh and fell short.
And Wei Mu Duli punched over, and was caught under the creaking nest by a small stone, and then punched Wei Mu Du Li in the face.
Wei Mudu grabbed the fist that Xiao Shi was holding with his hand, clenched it desperately, and then roared: "It's now!" ”
Although Xiao Shi couldn't understand what he was shouting, the Xixia people who were watching the excitement on the side just now suddenly took out their knives and rushed up, and the fool knew that this was Wei Mu Duli's strategy.
Xiaoshi tried his best to break free, but was grabbed by Wei Mudu.
Wei Mu Duli looked at Xiao Shi with a hideous face and said, "Little cub, you are still too young. This is a war, not a game. Fighting a war requires victory by all means! ”
"You're a shitty kid! You shameless! You shit! ”
"Hehe, what do you have to say to Lord Yama......" Just as the Xixia people were about to add knives to the small stone, suddenly several Zhenjiang soldiers rushed out and stabbed their long knives in their backs.
Wei Muduli was furious when he saw this: "You fucking play yin too!" Are you embarrassed to say me? ”
"Fuck you! I didn't arrange these people! ”
"You! Damn...... "This time, Wei Mudu tried his best to break free, but he was caught by the small stone.
Kang Zhi took a step forward, and without the slightest hesitation, the Moon Covering Knife directly cut off Wei Mu Duli's dead head. Then he raised it high on the tip of the knife and roared angrily: "The enemy will give the head!" ”
