end song

Chapter 655
Li Xia's wild goose formation is not without gaps.

The line was stretched horizontally for more than three miles, and only four rows of soldiers could stand at each step. Shieldmen or heavy armored soldiers were in front, and spearmen were paired with crossbowmen or grenadiers. It looked very thin.

Moreover, there was still a distance of more than [-] steps between the Weishui River and the Qinling Mountains for the enemy to ride over.

But Liu Heima did not dare to order the charge immediately.

His subordinates are not heavy cavalry, but light cavalry.

And after the division of troops, his main cavalry only had more than [-] people left.

Once charging, the distance is widened, and only a few hundred people can rush to the front first.

A hundred paces away, you have to face arrows, thirty paces is the Thunderbolt Cannon, and within ten paces, the Song army has gathered, and what a cavalryman has to face are seven or eight spears.

Not to mention the refusal of horses, gun carts, and trapped horse ropes all over the ground.

Even if he could break through the Song army's line, he would have to pay a terrible price.

So what if we get to the west?

The terrain in the west is narrower, and the Song army will encircle them, and the front line will only become thicker and thicker.

To the west, it is equivalent to abandoning the pontoon bridge on the Jiangshui River, and even losing the way of retreat.

Therefore, Liu Heima could only respond with a chariot formation, and the cavalry ran in circles around the coach to maintain the advantage in speed.

But the advantage of speed did not last long.

Song Jun pushed the horse and pressed forward step by step, and the cavalry shrank inward subconsciously.

The circle that can run is getting smaller and smaller, and the speed of the horse is getting slower and slower.

Uncontrollably, the car suspension formation shrank and became a circular formation.

Slowly, the cavalry could no longer run, and finally the horses crowded together.

……

As the range of cavalry running narrowed, the Song army gradually did not need to control the entire plain, and the front lines became denser and denser.

Finally, the wild goose formation surrounded the cavalry like pincers.

The encirclement that Song Jun wanted to form had only three sides.

They didn't care about Jiangshui to the east and the pontoon bridge on Jiangshui, leaving a little retreat for the enemy cavalry.

"Go! Go!"

"Huh...huh...huh..."

The soldiers in infantry armor kept panting, exhausted to the limit.

It was mid-July, at noon, the blazing sun was like fire, and the iron armor was like a steamer, trying to steam their flesh.

The sweat continued to flow, and the person was almost dehydrated.

Fortunately, the comrades are still shouting and encouraging each other.

"Surrounded and captured!"

"It's about to win!"

"Recover Guanzhong..."

Each of the heavy armored soldiers held their spears, moved their steps, and collided with other heavy armored soldiers with a ding, forming a wall of copper and iron.

Finally, more than [-] Song troops surrounded more than [-] cavalry.

"Wan Sheng!"

The soldiers of the Song army were very excited, as if they had already won.

Therefore, the tired heavy armored soldiers had no other thoughts and were pushed forward by their comrades.

The enemy cavalry's knives clanged on their helmets, but they were too tired to feel the danger, only knowing that one more push would be the end, their victory.

Behind them, the spearmen began to kill the enemy under their protection, and did not forget to continue to motivate them.

"Hold on! I'm about to win..."

The spears are like a forest, stabbing out.

The thunderbolt cannon was thrown into the cavalry line, the iron pieces were splashed, and the people turned on their backs...

~~
Liu Heima's more than [-] horses were surrounded by Jiangshui. If they couldn't break through, they would be defeated.

But he didn't panic.

The wild goose formation spread out horizontally, with its two wings forward, like the arms of an ape stretching forward, the function is to restrain the detour of Qingqi, so it can form an encirclement.

Its weak point is on the back.

Before the battle, Liu Heima had sent two thousand riders to the back of the Song army.

As long as the Song army can be defeated from the back, this battle can be won.

His strategy is to use the main force to attract the Song army and create opportunities for Liu Yuanzhen to defeat the enemy.

No matter how Liu Heima feels about the eldest son, he deeply understands that the eldest son should take care of the family business in the end.

He was willing to be the bait to let the eldest son defeat Li Xia and regain his strength.

~~
Liu Yuanzhen has indeed been depressed recently.

He was not like this in the past, he was born in a family, both civil and military, and he was always full of ambition.

Since the age of 20, he has been alone in the Mansion of Wanhu. His orders are strict, rewards and punishments are not indiscriminate, and he is respected by veterans. During the war in Central Shu, he entered the camp alone to surrender to Liu Zheng.

It's just that in recent years, I have lost to Li Xia too many times.

Chengdu was defeated and the whole army was captured, but he was not spared.Fortunately, when Li Xia let him return it, he could still find an excuse, thinking that the Jinlianchuan shogunate was secretly cooperating with Li Xia;

In the defeat of Hanzhong, the [-] troops retreated hastily, but it was reluctantly said that it was to fight for Khan's position;

Once the Long Yuan was defeated, the troops were lost and the generals were lost;

Finally, at the battle of Qishan Road, Liu Yuanzhen's confidence was completely broken by Li Xia...

In today's decisive battle, he always had the thought of "I can't win Li Xia".

Detour the enemy's rear, widen the distance, reorganize the formation, and defeat the baggage... When Liu Yuanzhen hoped to use harassment to establish a cavalry advantage a little bit, Li Xia had resolutely led the army to kill Liu Heima.

Seeing this scene, Liu Yuanzhen hesitated for a moment, but failed to decisively order to attack the enemy's rear.

Shock?
There are still too many shields, heavy armor, and spears in the Song army's formation. It is still too dangerous for cavalry to rush past before the front line is not too loose.

"You know how to fight battles." Liu Heima's words surfaced again, causing Liu Yuanzhen to fall into self-doubt.

Not resolute enough, he has lost his original demeanor...

After hesitating for a while, Liu Yuanzhen made a decision.

7000 people surrounded [-] cavalry, even if the front line was shrunk, it still seemed very weak.What's more, the Song army is attacking with all its strength, and the defense behind it is very lax.

Maybe it can directly encircle Li Xia's Chinese army.

"Kill them!"

The horses began to canter.

The cavalry plus armor and weapons also weigh close to two hundred catties, and they can only charge with all their strength when they are about fifty steps away from the Song Army's line.

The hooves of the horses planed the ground, kicking up dust behind them.

Soon, the front was already the camp where the Song army was stationed last night, and it was almost empty at this time, because the Song army had already advanced to the east.

"Go around!"

The knights pulled the reins one after another and turned around.

To the south of the camp, the ground is full of rejected horses.

A soldier jumped on his horse...

"Bah!"

The horse neighed, and the ground collapsed suddenly.

The screams didn't stop.

"Stuck in a ditch!"

A horse trap suddenly blocked the cavalry's charge.

It's not deep.

But this shows that Li Xia is prepared.

It is expected that there will be cavalry around since last night.

after that,

With a sound of "boom", the fire came from the Song camp, and it rose up along the sinking ditch like a long snake.

"Ah! Ah!"

There are endless screams...

"Is there any asphalt?!"

The luggage brought by the Song army was not grain and grass, but stone fat.

Because of this victory, Dasanguan can transport grain.

Li Xia has confidence and determination.

Thinking of this, Liu Yuanzhen suddenly became deeply worried and lost his confidence in winning.

He slowed down his horse, looked up, and found that he had bypassed the Song army's camp, and if he had to go around to both sides, he would just go back the way he came, and it would not be effective in hitting the Song army's back.

……

The next moment, the horn sounded again.

Just to the south of Liu Heima's main force, a Song army of more than a thousand soldiers has already come out of the Chencangdao Canyon.

This is the reinforcement of the Great Sanguan Pass.

It is not difficult to guess that Li Xia will mobilize the troops of Dasan Pass.

The problem lies in this timing... Liu Heima has been surrounded, and he can no longer send troops to intercept it.

Liu Yuanzhen suddenly discovered that Li Xia's wild goose formation did not leave a weakness behind it.

Those who refused horses, trapped horses, and fired, were to prevent his cavalry from advancing.

When he rushed up again, he happened to meet Song Jun from Dasan Pass.

"Damn."

With no choice left, Liu Yuanzhen could only charge towards the mouth of the Chencang Road Gorge.

Otherwise, once the reinforcements from the Song army rush to the main force again, there will be no chance of even being defeated...

He already knew the outcome of this battle.

What they want now is to be able to withdraw from the battlefield.

~~
Moving westward day by day, the two sides have been fighting for nearly a whole day.

Liu Heima, who was surrounded by siege, stared forward.

He was about to lose, but not yet.

Not without the opportunity to turn defeat into victory.

This was the case in the battle of Sanfeng Mountain. He followed Tuo Lei with more than 15 soldiers and horses to face the main force of [-] Jin soldiers. He lost first...and then won.

Thinking of Sanfeng Mountain, Liu Heima couldn't let go of his pride.

He whispered something in his heart softly.

"Western Regions intends to kill King Li, and the thunderbolts break the pillars to startle Guanzhong..."

This is Hao Jing's poem, which is about the Battle of Sanfeng Mountain that year, and also Liu Heima's superstition about "the Mongolian army is invincible" over the years.

"Short-handed soldiers fight for hundreds of miles, and the lonely and poor turn to fight to the death..."

As if still wanting to regain the bravery and heroism of the past, Liu Heima clenched his long knife and chopped down a soldier who was about to retreat.

He steered his horse forward.

At this point in the battle, you can still win with bravery.

"The black wind blows the sand and the river is exhausted, and the heaven and earth are covered with snow..."

It is summer now, without the heavy snow that year.

Not as lucky as it was back then.

However, Song Jun is not as strong as Jin Jun.

The shame of Jingkang is the proof!
"A man fights against the wind, and the ice is full of knives and spears are broken..."

With this in mind, Liu Heima has already personally greeted the Song army's line, and directly killed Li Xia's big banner.

"Boys, follow me to defeat the enemy!"

~~
Li Xia was right in front of the formation.

He watched Liu Heima's banner coming towards him, and he also saw the morale of the enemy soldiers boosted.

The main general goes into battle, which can naturally boost morale.

So, Li Xia put away his sword and took a long lance from his own soldiers.

Now he has realized that the sword is really not easy to use in battle, especially in horse battles, the sword is not heavy enough and not long enough.

So he chose the long lance, which is most like a sword.

This long spear weighed more than ten catties, Li Xia held it with one hand, and drove the horse towards Liu Heima's banner.

He didn't say anything, and the big banner behind him naturally followed him.

Is it necessary?
Li Xia wants to subdue Liu Heima, comparing strategy, military strength, and will... Even if it is force, as long as Liu Heima still wants to struggle, Li Xia is willing to accompany him to the end.

He wants to completely crush Liu Heima's pride won by fighting with the Mongolian army.

……

The horses pushed past the soldiers.

In front, a soldier of Liu Heima was holding up a sledgehammer and killing all directions, boosting the morale of the cavalry.

"when!"

There was a loud bang, and sparks flew everywhere.

The sledgehammer intersected with the long lance, and the long lance went straight into the cavalry's throat like a dragon snake.

"puff!"

"Liu Heima! Do you still fight trapped beasts?!"

Liu Heima, who was still surrounded by his own soldiers, suddenly looked up, and saw a big flag with the word "Li" more than ten steps away.

"The handsome is mighty! The mighty!"

Song Jun's momentum is moving...

~~
Blood splashed in front of his eyes.

Lu Xiaoyou was so carried away by the killing that he didn't even notice that the armor on his body was torn apart, and there were several wounds on his body.

He doesn't know what's good about Guanzhong, but he just wants to regain it.

If he fails to win this battle, he will feel sorry for all his comrades, first of all, those who died in the battle, and the comrades who have tried their best and are exhausted but are still holding on.

To win!To win!
This is the belief that Lu Xiaoyou has built up from battles and victories since he followed Li Xia.

Since you have never been defeated once, you can never lose!
The spear in his hand pierced into an enemy's body, and he couldn't pull it out for a while. Lu Xiaoyou roared, abandoned the spear, and quickly picked up a machete on the ground.

Cut off the horse's legs.

"!"

The blood of the war horse spurted wildly, and Lu Xiaoyou's eyes turned red.

"Oh!"

Another cavalryman wanted to rush out of the encirclement, and the horseshoe kicked Lu Xiaoyou hard in the heart.

He fell to the ground, his mouth was salty, blood gushed out, but he got up again in an instant.

"Surround them!"

"Admiral!"

In the confusion, Li Zeyi hugged Lu Xiaoyou and reminded: "Listen...the sound of horseshoes, the sound of horseshoes, the enemy soldiers have reinforcements coming from the north of the Weihe River..."

"Kill the prisoner! Kill the prisoner!" Lu Xiaoyou ignored Li Zeyi and continued to charge forward.

"The enemy has reinforcements." Li Zeyi pulled back Lu Xiaoyou, and reminded again: "We are organizing troops..."

"Snapped!"

Lu Xiaoyou was so red-eyed that he couldn't hear anything at all, so he immediately slapped Li Zeyi and shouted: "Kill it! As long as you are brave, you will win!"

Li Zeyi was taken aback for a moment, but was stunned by the beating.

suddenly,

"The handsome is mighty! The mighty!"

There was a loud cry in the distance.

Li Zeyi glanced back, and saw that her banner and the enemy's banner had been joined together...

"Mighty! Mighty!"

The morale of the Song army was greatly boosted.

There were not many people who could hear the sound of horseshoes like Li Zeyi. The soldiers of the Song Army rushed up like crazy, pushing Li Zeyi staggering.

Lu Xiaoyou even broke free, screaming and rushing forward, chopping wildly with his knife.

"To win! To win!"

"To win..."

The sound vibrates all over the world.

Li Zeyi shouted "enemy reinforcements" alone, but no one heard them at all, and the morale of the Song army was hard to be shaken.

He was surrounded by his comrades, merged into the torrent, and slammed into the enemy in front like a huge wave.

"Kill the enemy!"

Slash with a knife.

Then Li Zeyi remembered that the pontoon bridges on the Weishui River were blown up by the Song army, so what's the use of the enemy's reinforcements?
Gradually, the sound of horseshoes in his mind disappeared, leaving only one thought——

"Victory is just around the corner!"

In the end, I became so red-eyed that I forgot everything...

~~
North of the Wei River.

Wang Zhichen has led more than a thousand troops to the riverside.

At that time, he withdrew from Qinzhou, retreated to Fengxiang, and was stationed on Longshan Road under the order of Lian Xixian.

Today I got the military order, so I came here on a flying horse.

When the soldiers arrived at the battlefield, they first sent sentry cavalry up the hill, watched the battle situation on the other side, and reported the battle situation.

"Report! You can see that the big flags are all in front of the formation, and the two main generals are fighting..."

Wang Zhichen was a little surprised, why didn't Liu Heima send reinforcements from Fengxiang Mansion?

But he didn't care about this much for a while. At this time, the fierce battle on the battlefield was in full swing, so he quickly ordered the construction of a pontoon bridge to cross the river.

Naturally, crossing the river will not be fast. Fortunately, Liu Heima saw the reinforcements. If he can keep his morale from falling, he will be invincible until the night.

"The chance of victory is still there, the chance of victory is still there..."

Wang Zhichen made arrangements for crossing the river and climbed the hill himself.

The wind blew the killing cries to the cliff.

Song Jun's killing sound shook the sky, as if he hadn't seen his support army, he was still attacking Liu Heima's main force with all his strength.

Wang Zhichen gradually realized that if he could charge against Li Xia's back line at this time, he would win a big victory.

suddenly.

Far away, cavalry came rushing to the east.

……

"Deputy Marshal Wang! Mr. Lian ordered you to return to Fangjingzhao Mansion immediately!"

"Why?!"

Wang Zhichen pointed to the opposite bank and shouted: "Just wait for me to cross the river, and the Song army can be defeated..."

Before the words were finished, Liu Heima's tall banner on the other side of the river had already fallen down.

Even across the Wei River, he could already hear the cheers of Song Jun.

"Wan Sheng!"

"Wan Sheng..."

Wang Zhichen froze there.

In the ear, the messenger stepped forward and said: "Go quickly, Mr. Lian has already seen that Liu Heima is not determined to fight..."

~~
"puff!"

The long lance in Li Xia's hand stabbed a cavalryman again.

In the fog of blood, Liu Heima held a sword in one hand and the rein in the other, looking at the unstoppable Li Xia, and wanted to raise the sword, but suddenly realized that he was really old.

28 years, luck reincarnation.

In fact, up to this point in the First World War, Liu Heima already knew that he had been defeated in terms of military strength.

But I still want to win with bravery like in the early years.

This is the last bit of pride.

But in the face of such Li Xia, it is impossible to reproduce the miracle of bravely defeating the enemy back then.

There is no need to go up against it...

"Liu Heima!"

There was a loud shout, Liu Heima heard it, but he didn't go forward to fight, but turned his horse's head and left.

"Kill!"

The morale of the Song army became stronger, and they went up to hide and kill.

The horseshoe headed east in a hurry.

A big banner slowly fell...
