Chapter 769 Rough
After Li Xia divided the Mongolian army, he originally wanted to work with Li Zengbo to wipe out half of them, and then wipe out the other half.

But since Ah Shu had already broken through the line of defense, he had to lead his army to pursue him immediately.

Therefore, Li Zengbo had to be responsible for independently annihilating the Mongolian army that was divided to the west.

At this time, these Mongolian cavalry were fleeing south.

They probably wanted to use riding skills to detour through the loess plateaus, thinking that they could get rid of the encirclement of the Song army.

But when Li Zengbo arranged the siege, he actually reserved the valley to the south on purpose to allow the Mongolian army to escape.

This is not a new tactic. In order to reduce the enemy's will to resist, the Mongolian cavalry will intimately make a gap in the encirclement circle every time they surround the enemy to let the enemy escape.

Li Zengbo is similar, but there is one difference - what he gives is a dead end.

Therefore, the south side of Gaoqi City seems to be wide, but Ashu never thought of breaking out from here.

Groups of Mongolian riders who were divided went around a plateau called "Luojianyuan". They thought they had escaped, but they heard the sound of water.

Not far to the south, a river appeared in front of us.

The name of the river is "Heihe" and it is a tributary of the Jinghe River.

On the other side of the river, a Song army was there, adjusting the direction of the bed crossbow.

The fleeing Mongolian cavalry reined in one after another.

That's too late.

"Whoosh!"

The huge crossbow arrows shot by the bed crossbow have penetrated into their bodies...

At the same time, the sound of the horn also sounded on the north side of the Heihe River.

Following Li Zengbo's order, the Song army all rushed forward.

At this moment, many Mongolian soldiers were no longer vicious, but looked panicked and pitiful.

People know how to beg when facing death.

But the generals of the Song Army, especially Lu Xiaoyou, who had just guarded the Gongchang Mansion not long ago, became even more furious when they saw this pleading look in their eyes.

What came to his mind was the corpses roasted into oil in clay pots he saw when he was guarding Gongchang City... The anger that had been suppressed for two months was finally released.

"Kill the prisoner!"

The Song army roared in unison and rushed towards the Mongolian army.

……

Fighting in shallow water plateau, one result is often similar to the past, as recorded in the old Tang books——

"Those who fall into the valley and die are invincible."

~~
Compared with the leaderless Mongolian army by the Heishui River, the Mongolian army by the Jing River has Ashu as its coach, and the situation is much better.

Ashu ordered the cavalry to dismount and fight on foot, and arranged a defensive formation in a short period of time.

The Mongolian army rarely fights on foot, but it will do so when encountering a strong enemy.

For example, Mu Huali had two foot battles, and they were still in the main battle.

The first time was the battle of Shenshui County. He ordered half of his troops to dismount and shoot arrows, and cooperated with the cavalry to behead more than [-] ranks of Jinzhou warlords;
The second time was the battle of Huanglinggang. At that time, [-] Jin troops lined up on the river bank to show a deadly battle. Muhua Liling dismounted from his horse and fired all arrows. The Jin army was defeated and many people drowned.

The opponent A Shu met today was stronger than the Jin army in the last years of the Jin Kingdom, much stronger.

When this idea came to him, he suddenly realized a problem... The Great Mongol Kingdom always seemed to be facing weak countries, and it seemed that it rarely encountered any prosperous ones.

Shaking his head, Ah Shu drove this damn thought out of his mind.

In short, he had to fight Li Xia on foot.

This kind of terrain has no room to maneuver, and foot combat is more advantageous.

The Mongolian soldiers killed the wounded horses and piled them up in front of the battle.

The soldiers stood behind the horse corpse, with their bows and arrows drawn.

The distance between the two sides gradually approached... Finally, the arrows shot out in volley, which was more powerful and had a longer range than when shooting from horseback.

"Whoosh whoosh..."

"Dong dong dong dong..."

As the rain of arrows fell, the soldiers of the Song army raised their shields to block them, and slowly advanced, while also firing back with arrows and thunderbolt cannons.

……

On a loess plateau behind the Song army, Li Xia was watching the battle and commanding.

It wasn't because he was tired that he didn't charge, but after Ashu broke through, the battle situation changed and he had to readjust.

First, Liu Jinsuo and Yang Ben were ordered to attack the front of Ashu, and they also dismounted and fought on foot.

On Li Xia's side, there were less than [-] cavalry left, divided into two teams.

He first ordered Li Zeyi to go around to the left wing and wait for the horn.

The generals each received orders and began to advance.

Li Xia picked up the binocular and looked towards the upper reaches of the Jing River.

After a long time, he didn't give the order to blow the horn until he saw several small boats sailing from the opposite bank with flags waving.

"Woooooooo..."

With the sound of the horn, Li Zeyi attacked the left flank of the Mongolian army.

And the boat on the Jinghe River has rushed down.Rush towards the flying fish that the Mongolian army finally pulled on the river.

The soldiers of the Song army stood at the bow of the ship, slashed down with their knives mercilessly, and easily cut off the flying silk.

The Mongolian army wailed.

Their way of escape was cut off like this... I thought there was no ambush on the other side of the river, but the ambush was upstream.

Not all battles lined up by the river are called last stand.

For example, in the battle of Huanglinggang, the Jin soldiers lined up on the river bank to show a deadly battle, but they were defeated by Mu Huali and drowned countless times.

Putting it to death requires a very strong will to "put it to death and then live", otherwise it is death...

It's time to test the will of the Mongolian army.

……

Li Xia kicked the horse's belly, drove the horse down the loess plateau, and galloped to another team of cavalry.

This team of cavalry was led by Hu Legen, who had tacitly followed Li Xia when he saw him approaching.

"Follow King Jun to kill the enemy!"

"Those who violate the will of Changshengtian are not worthy of being grassland people..."

Hu Legen kept shouting while running.

The horse trotted, gradually accelerated, and rushed to the right flank of the Mongolian army...

Li Xia leaned slightly to protect the front door, and let the arrows fall on the armor.

He suddenly remembered that the last time he fought with Ashu, after he killed Wu Liang Hetai, Ashu led his troops to chase after him.

That time, the Qing Fu Army killed many people.

Many people died today. Back then, it was only a few hundred people fighting, but now it is tens of thousands, and even more people died.

Back then, Li Xia was chased by Ashu and swam across the Changning River to survive.

Today, he didn't intend to let Ashu swim across the Jing River, lest there be another fight and more people would die, even more innocent people...

Thinking of this, Li Xia rushed to the right wing of the Mongolian army.

He began to rush forward without distraction.

In order to achieve faster victory with fewer casualties.

~~
The sunset is like blood.

This is Li Xia's second charge today.

After defeating the Mongolian army for the first time, Ashu fled in panic.But this time, Ah Shu had no way out.

As far as the Mongolian army is concerned, when the enemy's commander repeatedly falls into battle, only Ashu can personally fight to boost morale, otherwise the Mongolian army will be defeated in a short time.

No, the defeat of the Mongolian army seems to have become a fact.

Ah Shu no longer thinks about these things, and puts aside all life and death,

In short, if you kill Li Xia, everything will be fine. If you can't kill him, you will die. It's not a big deal.

Moreover, there is the blessing of longevity.

"Step aside!"

"Get out of the way! Go around!"

Ashu roared and rushed towards Li Xia's banner.

He wanted to personally step forward to give support to the warriors on the grassland.

Only when the commander is brave, can the soldiers be brave.

He is the grandson of Subotai, the grandson of Subotai, one of Genghis Khan's "Four Mastiffs", and he inherited the ferocity of a mastiff dog...

As the distance got closer, Ah Shu could already see that Li Xia was massacring Mongolian soldiers wantonly.

Ashu held the long spear tightly, raised it up, charged up all his strength... and threw it forward violently.

"Kill!"

The long riding spear flew out and threw it at Li Xia's war horse.

Li Xia had noticed that Ashu's banner was coming, and when he heard the wind, he pulled the rein and hid.

The spear hit Hullegan's horse.

With a neigh of the horse, Hu Legen fell off the horse and hurriedly commanded the soldiers to step forward to protect Li Xia.

Ashu was even faster, and rolled on the spot, rolled to Li Xia's horse, pulled out the scimitar, and chopped off the horse's legs.

Li Xia reined in the reins again, let the horse raise its front hooves, and at the same time stabbed the horse's spear in A Shu.

"puff."

As fast as a shooting star, Ma Leng pierced through A Shu's thigh. Li Xia pushed hard, and Ma Leng pierced deeper, nailing A Shu to the ground.

"what!"

A Shuzhong roared, turned over, dodged Hu Legen's knife, and split Hu Legen with his backhand.

And the flesh on his leg was torn from the horse by him abruptly.

The blood column flew up from the bottom to the top.

"puff!"

"Bah..."

A column of blood spurted out from the horse's belly, splashing A Shu all over.

Li Xia stepped off the horse and screamed, raised his front hooves, and fell to the ground.

The horse was still nailed to the ground, Li Xia quickly let go and jumped off the horse.

A blood-red figure rushed forward.

With a flash of cold light, Ashu raised his scimitar and cut it down with all his strength.

Li Xia just landed, and quickly turned sideways, the scimitar had been cut into the gap in his armor, and blood burst out.

At the same time, he had drawn his sword, slashed straight at Ashu's hand.

Ashu's four fingers were chopped off and fell to the ground one after another.

With a sound of "clang", the machete also fell to the ground and touched the stone. .

The surrounding Meng soldiers and Song soldiers came to their senses and rushed forward one after another.

Ashu was in severe pain, and he had already made a pounce, throwing Li Xia into the Mongolian army formation.

"kill him!"

"Kill him! Die! Die!"

Amid the shouts in Mongolian, Ashu desperately used his bloody hand to hold Li Xia down for the Mongolian soldiers to kill.

With great strength, Li Xia slashed wildly with the sword in one hand, and pushed A Shu away with the other.

A Shu was also extremely strong, but his face was flushed red.

"Huh...huh..."

Both were panting heavily, like two beasts.

The difference is that one is resolute and the other is crazy.

In the end, Ah Shu still couldn't hold Li Xia down, and was hit by Li Xia's helmet again, causing her nose to bleed profusely
Li Xia rolled on the spot, dodging a long spear.

A Shu didn't let him go, and rushed forward again. He picked up an arrow with his left hand and stuck it on Li Xia's back. The arrow got stuck in the armor.

Li Xia felt the pain and struck back with a sword.

Because both sides are well-armored, each of his swords is aimed at such an unarmored place.

This sword is vicious, and it is piercing Ashu's eyes.

"puff……"

This pain was so painful that Ashu screamed like a ghost, and even waved the arrow in his hand desperately, intending to stab Li Xia to death.

Li Xia had already retreated, his footsteps were flowing like clouds and flowing water, and he retreated into the Song army's formation in two steps.

Ah Shu has gone crazy, no matter what, he will come over regardless.

Li Xia stabbed out with another sword, stabbing Ashu's left hand holding the arrow.

Several Song soldiers stepped forward and hacked Ashu one after another.

Ashu was seriously injured one after another, screaming incessantly, his face was covered in blood, he looked like a ghost.

The Mongolian soldiers were terrified, rushed up to kill the Song soldiers, grabbed Ashu and fled.

When they turned around, Li Xia caught up and pierced Ashu's knee with a sword.

When Ashu fell, he was able to twist his legs, and with all his strength, he knocked down the sword in Li Xia's hand.

The more he was injured, the more vicious he became. Immediately, he picked up a scimitar with his pierced left hand, and wanted to kill Li Xia.

Li Xia had already snatched up, grabbed Ashu's hand, twisted it, grabbed the scimitar, and chopped it off...

From Ashu rushing to Li Xia, to this time, only a few breaths passed, and the soldiers of the Song Army and Mongolian Army around them also took a few steps back and forth.

And with this slash, the battle that lasted for a whole day finally came to an end.

Simple and brutal.

Simple and rude, just like A Shu himself.

Until his death, Ah Shu thought that Changshengtian would bless him, just like every time in the past.

However, the battlefield is cruel...

The cruel thing is that for tens of thousands of people, tens of millions of innocent souls, the murderer has only one life to pay for.

Can't afford it.

Only to end it and put a new order.

Li Xia couldn't tell what kind of mood he felt when he was cut off with the knife.

He is determined and always looking forward.

But definitely with anger.

"puff!"

Blood spurted from the neck.

"Puff puff……"

There was blood splattered everywhere, and the stench was terrible.

A rebellious head was lifted up...
