Chapter 563: A Fatal Day
On the vast grassland, a huge camp appeared on it, Li Qianshun did not sleep, but looked into the distance, around him, the guards of the Royal Forest Army, Brother Wei Mingcha was also standing on the side with a tired face. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"One day, I'm afraid Li Jing won't give us a day." Li Qianshun's face was pale, he had already received the news that not only Li Jing's army was surrounded, but also in the front, there were also two armies, at least sixty or seventy thousand cavalry blocking his way, and his own reinforcements were at least one day away from him.
It is the time of this day that has become his most fatal flaw, not to mention the fatigue of the army, the grain and grass have been cut off, Li Qianshun finally decided to set up camp, after the army slept for a while, ate the last breakfast, and the rest was the decisive battle, whether he could win or not He did not know, but the defeat was certain, what he needed to do now was how to use the chaos on the battlefield to escape after the defeat of the army.
"The Imperial Forest Army has already made arrangements, and once there is an unfavorable situation on the battlefield, they will immediately escort the lord of the country away." Brother Wei Ming said bitterly. This is the hardest battle since the establishment of Western Xia, even he himself may not be able to see the sun tomorrow, but there is nothing Wei Ming Chage can do.
"Fight! Even if he dies in battle, he can't be insulted by Li Jing. Li Qianshun patted his brother on the shoulder and said, "If there is a chance, I will definitely raise an army to fight Li Jing, and I must destroy him." ”
"As long as we support it for a longer time, we may not be without opportunities." Wei Mingchage explained: "The army is attacking Li Jing, Li Jing is also a tired army, as long as we hold out for a longer time, even if we are defeated, it can also make Li Jing's vitality greatly damaged, and when the old general Renduo Baozhong leads the army to come, we will have the capital to negotiate." ”
"Rindo is loyal?" Li Qianshun's face changed after hearing this, and he finally glanced at Brother Wei Mingcha, sighed, and did not speak. Renduo Baozhong is also an old general of the Xia State, but he has always supported the Empress Dowager Liang of Western Xia before, Li Qianshun ascended the throne as the emperor with the help of the Liao State, and he came into contact with Renduo Baozhong's military power, but this time, it is probably the opinion of Brother Wei Mingcha to let Renduo Baozhong relead the army.
It's just that Li Qianshun knows that there are no powerful generals in the court, except for the Jin King Wei Mingchage, Renduo Baozhong has rich experience and brave combat, although he is a little older, but it is still very suitable to lead the army to rescue, which can be seen from his marching speed.
"Although the old general has made mistakes, he is still very loyal to the lord of the country, and with him coming to the rescue, as long as we can hold out for a longer time, we may not fail." Brother Wei Mingcha saw the hesitation and confusion in Li Qianshun's heart, and said in a loud voice.
"I hope so, but Li Jing's soldiers and horses are here." The corners of Li Qianshun's mouth suddenly showed a smile, he raised his whip and pointed into the distance, and saw countless soldiers and horses appearing in the distance, flags were flying, the sound of war drums sounded, and the silent grassland was suddenly full of killing opportunities, Li Jing couldn't wait, nearly 100,000 troops were ready to hunt Xia Emperor Li Qianshun, and after getting the Western Xia army led by Renduo Baozhong was still a day's journey away from him, Li Jing was ready to close the net, and this game of cat and mouse was about to end.
"Hmph, this time, let's see how Li Jing deals with our Iron Harrier." The fierce light flashed in Brother Wei's eyes, the last time the Iron Harrier did not establish any credit, the hateful Li Jing avoided the real attack, and let the Iron Harrier return in vain, this time, the two sides fought a decisive battle on the grassland, I believe that Li Jing will never dodge the attack of the Iron Harrier. Brother Wei Mingcha is ready to give Li Jing a good look.
"Rearmament for war." Li Qianshun was also infected by Brother Wei's emotions, and his pale face actually showed a hint of ruddy. A little anger in his heart gradually generated, and he immediately ordered someone to beat the war drums, and in an instant, the entire Xixia camp suddenly boiled, and although the Xixia warriors who had rested for a night had not reached their peak state, their fatigue had disappeared a lot.
"If nothing else, Li Qianshun is the first to come up is the Iron Harrier, and the more than 10,000 Iron Harriers around him are also an important weapon for him to try to change the current situation, he is ready to use these more than 10,000 Iron Harriers to attack our cavalry, and then use the cavalry in his hands to attack." Li Jing looked at the Western Xia army swarming out in the distance, and said to Li Qiao on the side.
"It's a pity that what he doesn't know is that the general has been prepared, no matter how powerful the iron harrier is, it is not enough to look at it in front of the general." Li Qiao sighed slightly. He glanced behind him, and saw that the rockets in the hands of those archers were ready, and as long as Li Jing gave an order, he would shoot the rockets in his hands at any time. He had a vague feeling that war might change a lot with the advent of these firearms.
"It's a pity." Li Jing also noticed Li Qiao's expression, and also sighed slightly, he was not from an engineering background, he couldn't make steel, and he couldn't study gunpowder. can only put forward some suggestions, slowly advancing the development of science, as for how far these technologies can develop in his lifetime, Li Jing himself does not know. However, he believes that the current technology is absolutely sufficient to deal with the current war situation.
At this time, the earth rumbled, countless cavalry charged, the horse's hooves trampled on the grassland, the green grassland was trampled to pieces in an instant, as Li Jing guessed, Li Qianshun really charged Li Jing with an iron harrier, not only the iron harrier, behind the iron harrier, there are countless light cavalry, infantry, etc., clearly swarming, but probably because of the long-term cooperation, it looks orderly.
"Archer, prepare. Position, put! Li Qiao had replaced Li Jing, holding the command flag in his hand, and with a roar, he heard a sharp roar, and countless bows and arrows fell on the grassland, but they did not hurt any enemy.
Tuoba Hill, who acted as the vanguard, let out bursts of laughter, his voice was very loud, and instantly infected the iron harriers around him, and they also let out a burst of wild laughter, and the morale of the Western Xia army was shocked.
"Rocketeers, take your place. Get ready. Li Qiao's face was expressionless, seeing that the iron harrier had entered the firing range, the corners of his mouth showed a trace of hideousness, and the command flag in his hand waved, and he saw a loud roar in the air, one by one rockets shot into the distance, this time falling into the enemy's army, but when he touched the heavy armor, there was a sound of gold and iron, but few people were shot off the horse.
However, before the Tangut people had time to rejoice, there were bursts of explosions in their ears, the explosions were very loud, and the horses sitting down also made bursts of neighing sounds.
"The rocket of the Song people." At this time, Tuoba Hill remembered that it was not only the Han Department on the other side, but also the army commanded by the Song people, and it was good at using firearms. It's just that the power of these firearms is far beyond the expectation of Tuoba Hill, when fighting with the Song people, the iron harrier has also seen the rockets of the Song people, but the rocket explosion of that kind of rocket is like a firecracker, the impact is not big, but the rocket explosion in front of him is a huge power, he can find that the blood on the legs of the war horses is flowing everywhere, and some of the war horses fall to the ground in an instant, and the iron harriers on it also follow closely behind, being pressed under the war horses, and then trampled into meat sauce by the cavalry behind.
For a time, the entire Iron Harrier team sent out a burst of frightened sounds, the power of the rocket improved by the Taiyuan Academy is naturally extraordinary, far above the Song Army rocket, the first time in the cavalry battle, it established meritorious service, and the previously indestructible Iron Harrier suffered instantly.
