Chapter 819 The Famous General of Western Xia, Surprise Attack Tactics
The arrows roared, the sound of killing was everywhere, and a rain of arrows was wrapped in a terrible roar, and the soldiers of the Song army who fled back to Linxia City were constantly hit by arrows and fell to the ground. There are about eight or nine hundred of these Song soldiers who were fetching water and cutting wood outside the city, but they were suddenly attacked by the Xia army, and most of them were not neatly dressed at this time, and they had no swords, guns, shields, oars and other ordnance to fight with the enemy troops who were swarming in, and they could only use all their strength to rush in the direction of the city.
After all, Linxia City is also a walled city in the rear of the Song army, even if the Xia army may not hesitate to launch surprise attack tactics in the steep Hengshan Mountains, but the soldiers in the city always have to eat, sleep, rest and work, and it is impossible to maintain a tense state of alertness at every moment of the twelve hours throughout the day, so under the sudden attack, they can only flee to the city as soon as possible, otherwise it will start at the moment when the drawbridge is pulled up and the city gate is closed. These soldiers of the Song army could only let those Xia soldiers who were chased from behind be slaughtered!
Although most of the Xia soldiers who were killed all over the mountains were foot soldiers, they were all crazy beasts at this time, and it seemed that any target that was caught up would be mercilessly trampled into meat paste and cut into meat sauce, but seeing the banner flying, countless Hengshan Qiang trampling soil and dust rolling in, the fierce arrow rain was as dense as locusts, the snowy steel knife was piercing with a piercing cold, and the crazy shouting and killing sound was also deafening. At the head of the city, Pei Zhong's face was pale, and there were also green tendons bursting up on his forehead, but he saw that the Xia army in the frenzy took off his bow and arrows from time to time, but Pei Zhong still did not allow the crossbowmen on the head of the city to release their crossbows at the enemy troops who could enter the shooting range of the strong crossbow.
Because although the long-range sharp weapons such as the divine arm bow equipped by the Song army are extremely lethal, it is inconvenient to shoot and kill the enemy, if they shoot directly under the city wall...... In front of the rushing Xia State army, there were hundreds of comrades in Paoze.
The city gate on the west side of Linxia City suddenly made a squeaky sound, and many of the soldiers of the Song army who were fleeing into the city suddenly had a desperate thought...... In this case, since the Xia army could not be allowed to rush into the city, then these soldiers, who did not have time to rush to the city, were also pawns that could be abandoned on the battlefield.
However, the half-open gates did not gradually close, but were slowly opened.
After only a moment, I saw a tiger general wearing strong armor, with a big gun in his hand, and the fiery red horse under his crotch also rushed out of the city gate like a galloping flame! Behind him, there was a young general with a jade face riding a bow, a bright silver spear hanging on the saddle, and a white horse riding a divine horse under his crotch also led more than ten horsemen to shoot fish, and at the same time rushed in the direction of the Xia army with the tiger general in front of him! After more than ten strong horsemen rushed out of the city gate, two more battalions of Song soldiers rushed out, and they quickly lined up in formation, hiding their bodies behind a giant shield that was one person high.
Rushing out of Linxia City to meet the Song army outside the city was naturally Xiao Tang, Hua Rong and their subordinates who were very good at running immediately Yan Yun, and those athletes shot seven or eight arrows in a row with Xiao Li Guang's kung fu of half a cup of tea, and they were fast, accurate, and ruthless!
More than thirty or forty Xia soldiers fell to the ground with arrows, and nearly half of the Song soldiers outside the city also staggered past Xiao Tang, getting closer and closer to the Linxia City Gate. But Xiao Tang was still in the lead, and he was about to rush into the formation of the Xia army's front formation!
Rows of blades of cold light poured in from in front of him, and countless arrows had already been wound, seeing that if Xiao Tang was a little late, Hugh said to block the enemy army, and the overwhelming rain of arrows would soon shoot over, teaching him to avoid it!
It was too late, it was too fast, and the fire red horse under the crotch and Xiao Tang were like a spirit in their hearts, and after a long neigh, it suddenly struck again. At the moment when he crashed into the Xia Army's formation, the chiseled gold spear in Xiao Tang's hand had already turned into a dazzling light wheel! In the roar of spring thunder, Xiao Tang only cared about slashing his head and covering his face, and he didn't have to pay attention to the rules and regulations with the moves in his hands, because there were enemy troops in front and back, left and right, and three or four enemies were slashed and swept away with every shot Xiao Tang!
Xiao Tang struggled to kill the surrounding Xia army soldiers, and on the other hand, parried the long knives and sharp blades that were constantly slashing from all sides, and the horses under his crotch were spinning in circles in the narrow space, and the bowl-sized hooves were constantly slashing and teasing, kicking and flying over many Xia army foot soldiers. After a while, Xiao Tang's body was already covered with bloodstains, and the blood of the enemy splashed on his body, and there were more and more Xia Army foot soldiers rushing towards him around him. From the moment he rushed into the enemy formation to now, he couldn't count how many enemy soldiers Xiao Tang had fallen to the ground and killed!
"Whoosh!" A sharp arrow struck, piercing the throat of a Xia State officer, bright red blood just shot out, Hua Rong had already rushed to Xiao Tang's left near with a gun, after overthrowing four or five enemy troops, Hua Rong hurriedly shouted to Xiao Tang: "Brother, almost all the soldiers outside the city have rushed back to the city, let's retreat quickly!" ”
"Let's go! Come on! ”
With a slash of the big gun in Xiao Tang's hand, he forced the Xia Guobu soldiers who were rushing over from all sides to retreat for a moment, and in a moment's effort, he and Hua Rong immediately turned their horses' heads and ran in the direction of Linxia City. With him, Hua Rong and more than ten cavalry archers, he naturally couldn't fight to the death with thousands of enemy troops, Xiao Tang first intercepted the enemy army for a moment with his brave and unstoppable martial arts, and now he could only rush into the city with the help of horse speed.
And Xiao Tang and Hua Rong threw off the Xia Guo's foot soldiers, and Yan Yun rode the horse in a circle with more than ten horsemen, and before they ran far, countless archers in the Xia army leaned out, pulled away the bowstring, and immediately shot at Xiao Tang and the others like a rain of arrows!
Before he could take off the light shield made of rattan on the saddle, five or six Yan Yun cavalry shots had already fallen straight from the saddle, and together with the war horses running high and fast under their crotch, they slammed into the ground with a bang, and slid out a long way! Together with the athletes who were lost in the crusade against Hedong Tianhu, now there are only ten people left in Yanyun's eighteen cavalry, Xiao Tang gritted his teeth when he saw it, but he could only keep swinging his gun to knock down the clusters of arrows that came from behind him, while covering the rest of the army to quickly retreat to the city!
At this time, all the surviving Song soldiers outside the city have also withdrawn into the city, and Xiao Tang and Hua Rong after the break have also crossed the trench outside the city gate, and when they saw that they were about to rush out of the city, the wolf tooth arrows behind them were like a dense group of locusts mixed with a terrible whistling and pounced, and the Song army with a shield at the city gate hurriedly lined up to block, and it was a series of tight loud noises of "tuk tuk", and the shield was covered with a layer of arrows in an instant!
"Fuck it! Dry! Good one-handed extravagant marksmanship, really fucking with seeds! ”
Seeing that Xiao Tang led his cavalry to cover the Song army outside the city had all withdrawn to the city, Pei Zhong of Chengtou Mountain slapped the head of the city wall fiercely, praised it, and roared hysterically: "Let go of the crossbow!" ”
The infantry of the Xia army, who was about to take advantage of the situation to kill and enter the city, suddenly heard a terrible sound of breaking the wind, and thousands of sharp arrows and crossbow arrows shot down fiercely! In an instant, the people turned over on their backs, the wooden shield in their hands was shot through and smashed, and countless flesh and blood bodies were also shot into a sieve, and most of the Xia army foot soldiers wearing only leather robes and leather armor were shot through and killed in an instant under the intensive shooting of the divine arm bow! At the same time that the originally unstoppable Xia army was in full swing, the gate of Linxia City had also been tightly closed.
And at the foot of Hengshan Mountain, there was a Xia general staring at the fierce battle in Linxia City with cold eyes, and he said coldly: "I didn't expect that among the Song army guarding this Linxia City, there were such brave warriors... However, Cha Ge Ning Ling (Ning Ling, the name of the Western Xia Jue, meaning the king) was not bad, although the surprise attack on Linxia City would be very dangerous, but now the Song army is in a hurry, and it did not anticipate the plan of our army to cross the Hengshan Raid. Whether it is the heavy grain and grass in the city, or the important ministers of the Song court here...... It must also fall into the hands of our army! ”
