It was late, just as the officers at all levels of the Jin Army were directing the soldiers to change the formation, they had already seen a horse army rushing from the oblique spur! Changing the formation in a hurry, the soldiers were at a loss, and suddenly saw the enemy cavalry attacking, and immediately panicked! They looked nervously at their companions and superiors, hoping for a hint or something, but almost all of them were the same, dazed and at a loss......

The horror on Wan Yanliang's face could not be concealed, and at this time he had no idea, and asked quickly: "What can I do?" The face of the servant was loyal and righteous, and he did not say a word. Now that the infantry has withdrawn, they have not had time to re-array, how can this mess withstand the impact of the enemy cavalry? Looking at the field again, the Ma army was also entangled by the cavalry of the Western Army and could not get out! Seeing this, he shouted loudly: "Release the arrow!" Shoot the arrows! ”

As soon as he shouted, the Hedong generals beside him either gave orders in unison, or rushed to the front of the battle, hoping to block the blow of the enemy cavalry and win that moment of precious time! The crossbowmen, who were completely stunned, woke up like a dream at this time, and hurriedly opened the strings and arrows, luànshè in a rage! However, this could only be in vain, and the Turfire Rider inevitably rushed over!

Li Chengwei led 2,000 assault cavalry to go all the way to the back of the main formation of the Jin army to launch a surprise attack, but he found that the infantry of the Jin army was retreating quickly, and at this time he actually wanted to rearrange the formation, so he seized the fighter plane and launched an attack directly from the side!

Two thousand horsemen are galloping, and their formation is only two rows, which is very obvious, just like mowing grass, destroying the enemy's large array! The assault rifles in their hands have ignited the medicine line, and the jumping sparks go straight to the medicine room! With the roar of hooves, the assault rifle was in full swing!

After a burst of gunshots, the crowded Jin soldiers fell to the ground one after another. The power of the assault rifle is not enough to kill if it does not hit the most critical parts. But it doesn't matter, it relies on the dense firepower of one fire and three rounds, even if it is not fatal, but the power of hundreds of assault guns firing at the same time is definitely not to be underestimated!

The Jin army has long known that the firearms of the Western Army are powerful, "but most of the people who have seen the assault muskets are the cavalry of the Jin Army."

In previous battles, Li Chengwei always led the assault rifle to fight the enemy horse army, and this time, it was the first time to attack the infantry! Seeing their companions fall in pieces, the infantry of the Jin Army were completely dispossessed and instinctively squeezed backwards!

But how could they run faster than a war horse? The two dry fire riders collided with a thunderous momentum! The wind sweeps away the leaves! I'm afraid this is the only one that can describe the scene at this moment! Without a long lance like a forest, without a dense formation, even the light cavalry of the Assault Cavalry would be enough to crush it!

The Jin sergeant was knocked off by the war horse, and the people who had narrowly avoided it immediately ushered in blunt blame! As soon as the guns were released, the Assault Riders took up their weapons as bone warriors! Of course, this is not as sharp as the broadsword and spear, but on the back of the charging horse, the head and shoulders are rounded, and I am afraid that I will not die or be disabled!

Two thousand Assault Riders are completely in the array! Broke through the defense line of the outer infantry army! Between the Jin army's infantry and the crossbowmen, there was originally a circle of rejection horses, but because the top hurriedly ordered the rejection of the horses to be withdrawn to the periphery, the rejection horses were also carried to pieces at this time, and they could not stop the advance of the assault cavalry at all!

As soon as they saw the enemy pressing on the front, the crossbowmen fled one after another, how could they care about the equipment? Under the trampling of the iron hooves of the fire riders, the Jin army formed a large array! The soldiers were terrified, the officers were at a loss, and they only remembered one thing: "Run for your life!" A few miles away, Xu Wei saw this situation, pointed forward with the horsewhip in his hand, and roared: "The whole army is assaulted!" ”

The military order is like a mountain! The commander gave an order, and all the troops that had not yet participated, "whether they were infantry troops, horse troops, or archers and crossbowmen, all cào got up and let out a roar that broke the mountains and rivers" and rushed to the opposite side like a flood! The soldiers were afraid of being left behind, so they used all their strength to eat nǎi! Soon, they swept across the battlefield like a monstrous làng!

The golden cavalry, who was fighting with Yang Zaixing's troops, saw the enemy coming from all over the world, how could he still have the heart to fight? The cavalry turned their horses and headed north!

"Straight sissy thief!" Yang Zaixing scolded angrily, but he didn't chase after him, but with a move of the spear in his hand, he led the troops to rush towards the main formation of the Jin army, which was formed into a pot of porridge!

Wan Yanliang looked around" his face was full of fear, and he was surrounded by dozens of horsemen brought from Yanjing" Seeing that the general trend had gone, he persuaded one after another: "Lang Jun" The matter has come to this! Hurry up! Hearing this, he didn't think much about it at all, and shook the horse's head, and the whip in his hand slammed into the mount. The war horse was in pain, and galloped wildly. Dozens of horsemen escorted him, rushed out of the Luàn army, and went straight to the north! This time, he came to Taiyuan to sit in the town, and the Golden Emperor gave him a beaded robe and a gold belt and various sè tools. In order to show his identity and encourage morale, he went into battle today, wearing brilliant clothes and armor, and wearing a dazzling gold belt around his waist, how obvious is his goal? Therefore, as soon as he fled, the Jin soldiers all shouted: "Pacify the north!" Run, brethren! Servant San Zhongyi is desperately commanding the soldiers to stabilize, and he can't help but be shocked when he hears this call! What did I say? Hold on to Taiyuan, don't immediately compete with the Western Army! But you don't listen! Insist on unifying the army to Yuci to stop it! Now you're running first!

The three armies must not be without a commander, and the consequences of running away will be disastrous. When the soldiers heard that even the commander was on the verge of escape, how could they still have the heart to fight? Throw away your weapons and run away! The Western Army is waiting for, this is exactly this!

Yang Zaixing and Li Chengwei's two cavalry frantically rushed back and forth in the formation! And the infantry army cluster that caught up in time, the Bīdejin army could only flee in one direction! And this is the beginning of their nightmare......

Li Chengwei, whose horse body and body were splashed with blood, took a few breaths desperately, and ordered the troops to form an offensive formation again. He was busy marrying and stealing, turning his head to look at the other end. I saw that Yang Zaixing's department had launched a pursuit again!

"Kill!" The voice of this party general was already hoarse, and under a roar, thousands of troops responded! Two groups of cavalry, like arrows from the string, pressed down on the fleeing enemy again!

Hearing the thunderous sound of hooves behind them, the soldiers of the Jin Army who were fleeing in a hurry couldn't help but despair! After all, someone couldn't help but look behind him while running, and the scene he saw was enough to make him tremble!

The fire riders basically stopped moving, and only drove the war horses to trample and impact! Sweeping away the enemy group like destroying the withering and pulling the cleverness!

And the cavalry under Yang Zaixing has already pulled out his saber to harvest people's heads! In the past, most of Xu Wei's cavalry were equipped with spears, which were suitable for assault and charge, but when chasing and killing the remnants of the enemy, you had to draw back with a shot, which was very inconvenient. Xu Wei then ordered the cavalry generals and the Duzuoyuan to jointly study and cast a new type of sword, which is now the kind of saber used by Yang Zaixing's department.

It turned out that the Song army also had a standard short knife, called "hand knife" similar to "ring head knife". The newly equipped saber is longer than the hand sword, and the hand knife is straight, but this saber has a certain arc, which is more suitable for slashing the enemy under the horse when the cavalry charges. At this time, "Yang Zaixing's Xuan Feng Ma Jun was using this kind of saber to slaughter the crowd unscrupulously. One knife down, there is no resistance, very cool!

Xu Wei looked at the car for a while, suddenly patted the railing, nodded and said, "Come on, it's over." "How did the gold thief get to this point? Hey, fighting them a few years ago was quite tough. Today this is simply ......" Yang Yan was puzzled.

Xu Wei walked past him and patted him on the shoulder: "Let's go, enter Yuci City, open a drinking ban tonight, and celebrate the soldiers!" ”

"That's good! That's good! When Yang Yan heard this, he was overjoyed.

The Jin army was defeated like a mountain, and was frantically pursued and killed by the Song army! Heavy infantry such as Hujie Panshi only chased out of the three dishes and gave up, "because their equipment was too heavy and their mobility was too poor, and they couldn't catch up at all." The light infantry and crossbowmen and the like were full of strength to pursue, but halfway through the Jin cavalry, they turned around and broke off, "so they could only stop unsatisfied."

And the two cavalry of Yang Nuoxing and Li Chengwei never stopped, all the way behind the crazy chase, and chased until the southern suburbs of Taiyuan before they were able to stop the troops. killed the Jin army for fifty miles, "If it weren't for the cavalry to cover it, I'm afraid it would be difficult to escape the annihilation of the whole army!"

As soon as the battlefield was cleaned, the results of the statistics were discovered. In this battle, more than 17,000 people were killed by the Jin army, most of which were obtained on the way to chase and kill, of which there were six thousand-commanders, and the centurions were uncountable, "It's a pity that there are not a million households." This also proves that the Jin army in this battle is not good, and in the previous battles between the Western Army and the Jin army, "there are often officers at the level of 10,000 households killed." This was of course a big gain for the Song army, but it also showed that the Jin army fought tenaciously, "even such a high-level officer was hanging." This time, there are no 10,000 households, which means that the senior generals of the Jin Army fled the fastest.

On the other hand, the losses of the Western Army were not even a fraction of the Jin Army, and the casualties were less than 3,000! It's a big win!

Xu Wei entered Yuci City on the same day, and was welcomed by the people, and some people even surrounded the soldiers, crying bitterly: "I don't want to see the officers and soldiers again in my lifetime!" The officers and soldiers of the West were also sad and angry when they saw the bald fathers and elders. In addition to his kind words and comfort, he said even more arrogantly that this time King Xu Jun led us to cross the Yellow River eastward, just to recover Hedong and save my father! Take Taiyuan City in a few days and recover the entire territory of Hedong! A shame for decades!

When the people heard this, they thundered with joy......

That night, Xu Wei held a banquet in Yuci County to celebrate the generals. said on the spot that this victory, Qin Fengjun won the most, contributed the most, and Shuzhang Xianjun was the first! The generals are very excited, since the crossing of the Yellow River, successive battles and victories, the momentum is like a bamboo, and the recovery of the east of the river is just around the corner! I can't say, after recovering Hedong, we will go directly to Yanyun!

In stark contrast to the elation of the Western Army, there was the mournful cry in the city of Taiyuan. Wan Yan Liang led dozens of horsemen, and was the first to flee back to Taiyuan, but he was still in shock, and ordered the city gate to be closed and the defense to be strengthened. Not long after, the defeated soldiers fled back one after another, and when they heard that the cavalry of the Western Army chased them outside the city of Taiyuan, they were as bright as a frightened bird, and almost had the idea of rushing out of the city and going straight to Yanyun.

When the Western Army and the Horse Army retreated, the rout that returned to Taiyuan City was only 6,000 people. Defeated! Fiasco! Wan Yanliang only knew at this time that Xu Wei, the tiger, was not easy to fight!

In the fierce battle, he fell from his horse by a stray arrow, and the tribe desperately snatched him back, and after arriving in Taiyuan, he urgently summoned a doctor to treat him. After hearing the news, Yan Liang thought about it and decided to visit it in person. But the servants were loyal and resentful, and they directly refused to see it. Touching such a nail, Wan Yanliang knew that the whole army was probably dissatisfied with him at this time.

But he didn't have time to think about this, because at the latest the day after tomorrow, the western army would be under the city of Taiyuan. If you resist the enemy, this is the weight of abundance! If Taiyuan is lost again, he can't explain to Emperor Jin, and the entire Hedong is probably over.

In view of this, he urgently summoned the generals to discuss countermeasures. A great defeat made the generals depressed, and they were even more dissatisfied with his blind staff command, and all the old tunes mentioned were such as strengthening the city defense, and there were no constructive suggestions at all. Seeing this, Wan Yanliang knew that he still had to ask the servant to come out and preside over the overall situation.

So he put down the shelf, went to the house of the servant and the righteous again, and asked him to come out and preside over the situation. Perhaps because he was afraid of his identity as a member of the clan, he was loyal and angry, and he was angry, and he was resentful, and after all, he still brought his injuries out to preside over the military. He believed that after this defeat, the army's morale was weakened, and there was no second way to go except to hold on to Taiyuan City.

Moreover, the Song and Liao jointly sent troops to attack Jin, and the elite of the Jin army followed the Wushu of King Liang to deal with the Khitans, and Yan Yun had no troops to adjust, so don't expect reinforcements to come.

Now there are more than 10,000 soldiers in the city, and the supplies are sufficient, so there is no problem in holding on. But we must make it clear to the soldiers that Taiyuan is the bottom line, and the Jin Army has no way to retreat! And vacate the treasury and promise a heavy reward, so as to inspire the morale of the soldiers!

Wanyan Liang was in a hurry, "all followed." Servants and Zhongyi came forward and organized manpower to strengthen the city defense overnight. Han Chang used to be in Taiyuan City and had built a comprehensive city defense system. A large robe has been placed in the city wall, "robes made of robes", and the original war tents on the enemy platform facing each horse have all been demolished and a low wall has been rebuilt. All the enemy towers on the four sides of the city were also demolished, because they were simply a target. The servant scattered and Zhongyi even ordered the city gate to be sealed, "putting on a posture of co-existence and death of the city!"

Sure enough, as expected, just the next day, Xu Wei led a large army to Taiyuan City! When I arrived here, the soldiers of the Western Army had a special taste in their hearts! Taiyuan is the symbol of Hedong! "Soldiers are coming to Taiyuan" means that Hedong is about to be recovered! took Taiyuan City, and the military, state, and county behind it were just a matter of course.

But after Xu Wei and the generals peeked into the city defense, "I realized that it may not be easy to take Taiyuan." Han Chang gave a detailed account of how he built the city defense system, to put it simply, he learned from the Western Army, and to put it simply, he learned from Wang Yu.

robes made of robes" This is impossible. The robes used by the Jin army are still old-fashioned multi-pronged robes" belong to the "human robes": while the Weiyuan robes of the Song army have been made in recent years, they belong to the "counterweight robes", which completely overwhelm the Jin army in any aspect, whether it is shè Cheng or load. In other words, I can beat you, but you can't beat me, how can I make it? At most, it is a threat to the troops who are attacking the city in the near future.

As for the grass new in other directions of city defense, the Western Army is not afraid. They have high morale, excellent equipment, and a lot of experience. There is only one problem, the lack of troops.

30,000 people want to attack a fortified city like Taiyuan? Even if you don't attack in an all-out way, you can't just focus on breaking through. Xu Wei then issued an order, sent people to gather the rebels who recovered other cities, and hurried to Taiyuan, and sent people to Pegasus to order Liangxing to pacify Wang Yan, if there was no emergency in the south, he would quickly move north and prepare to fight Taiyuan.

At the same time, it is foreseeable that the siege of Taiyuan will be a tough battle, and the western army will need more supplies. Xu Wei ordered the Sichuan-Shaanxi Xuanfu Disposal Division to raise grain, grass, ordnance, etc., and send them to the front line urgently.

The western army is under the city, and the hearts of the people in Taiyuan City are floating. The people of Taiyuan, who received the news, all looked forward to the official army breaking through the city and ending the nightmare of more than ten years. People talked about it in private, and there were myths about the Western Army and Xu Wei circulating in the streets and alleys. And the soldiers of the Jin army were in panic all day long, not knowing what the outcome would be. However, the servant scattered Zhongyi ordered the door to be opened, and the soldiers of the Jin army were calm, anyway, don't want to go out of the city now, either hold the city, or die without fighting, or die in a trap.

At the end of May, Taiyuan.

The camp of the Western Army was set up outside the city of Taiyuan, and two days passed, and the Western Army did not begin to attack the city. But the Jin army in the city did not dare to be careless at all, because since this morning, they have found that troops are constantly driving under the city of Taiyuan, which is obviously the tiger marshal is recruiting troops and preparing to attack.

Xu Wei raised the pen in the tooth tent, and when the battle reached this point, he was taking the time to give the court a notebook. Of course, this is not a transcript, just a military report to the Privy Council, but now the Privy Council is almost finished. Why, you ask? Do you know who the current Chief Privy Council is? It's here that I bite the pen. Xu Wei has the title of "knowing the affairs of the Privy Council", others are under the city of Taiyuan, what do you say the Privy Council is not a decoration? Therefore, Xu Wei can almost be regarded as writing a report for himself.

"Report!" A voice rang out outside the tent.

"Come in." , Xu Wei didn't raise his head.

A patrol commander stepped into the tent, clenched his fists and said, "King, there are righteous troops coming to defect!" Xu Wei still didn't look up, and said in a deep voice: "Didn't I say it?" The affairs of the righteous army are all under the care of Yang Jing, go ahead. ”

"Your Majesty, this rebel army is extraordinary. They came from Taihang Mountain. "That Ruler.

Taihang Mountain? Hearing these three words, Xu Wei put down his pen.

He knew the situation of the Hedong Righteous Army very well, and there were two large ones. One is the Red Turban Army that has defected to his command, and the other is the Taihang Mountain Righteous Army, which is dominated by the old department of the Shao family brothers in the past. It is said that the two brothers Shao Xing and Shao Yi were killed in battle, and in terms of speaking, these two can be regarded as his subordinates when he was the head of the righteous army.

"How many people came? Who is in the lead? Xu Wei asked after thinking for a moment.

"Thousands of people came, and the leader called himself the old department of the Great King, surnamed Shao Mingbi." The Commander replied.

Xu Wei frowned, is this a ghost or something? Isn't Shao Yi dead? As soon as he thought of this, he hurriedly said: "Call the leader of the righteous army to come to me, and his subordinates will let Yang Jing settle down a little better." In the defense of Pingyang that year, the leader of the rebel army, Bu Xing, sent his younger brother Shao Yi to lead the rebel army to help in the battle, responsible for defending the sheep and horse wall, and his style was quite tenacious, Xu Wei still had some impressions. I heard that his two brothers died in battle, and I regretted it for a while, but today I am back to life?!!
