Fenghou

Chapter 696 Snow Strike
The central part of the shape of the Yellow River is the Henan area of ​​Xixia, where there are large deserts and Gobi, but between the two large deserts, there is a long and narrow grassland oasis, tens of miles wide from north to south, and about [-] miles long , here is the Hangjin Banner of later generations.

There are more than a dozen nomadic tribes of Xixia living in this grassland, but basically all the young and strong men have joined the army, and only the old and weak women and children are left in these tribes.

This morning, a Jurchen cavalry of ten thousand people escorted thousands of camels slowly on the endless grassland. Found the grass.

Of course, one million taels of silver is only sixty-two thousand catties, and two hundred camels are enough to carry it, but thousands of camels carry not only silver, but also sheepskins, animal skins, medicinal materials, bronze utensils, and thirty Thousands of copper coins.

These silver materials are basically [-]% of Xixia's official inventory wealth. In order to keep Xixia alive, Xixia almost dedicated all of its inventory to the Kingdom of Jin.
Uyan Puluhun led [-] cavalry to personally guard the wealth. Although Li Kan repeatedly assured him that the Song army would never cross the vast desert to intercept the middle line, Uyan Puluhun was still very cautious. It is declared that there is no travel plan before the spring of next year.

As for the real departure time and route are very top secret, even leaving Xingqing Mansion in the middle of the night, Uyan Puluhun is about to become a frightened bird, the Song Army's powerful infantry formation is in less than two hours. , almost wiped out his entire army, he was really a little scared.

"Captain Wan, will we come back again when we go east this time?" Wanyan Chamu asked.

Wuyan Puluhun sighed softly, "I don't know either, let's see how the court arranges it! To be honest, I don't really want to come back."

Another commander said: "There are rumors that after we leave, civil war will break out in Xixia. It's really worrying!"

Wuyan Pulu said coldly: "At this time, there is still internal strife, and the gods will not be able to save them."

He immediately ordered: "Speed ​​up!"

The long line picks up speed and heads east
Two days later, the team arrived at the Xixia border, and a mountain range appeared faintly in the distance. Passing through that mountain range is Hedong. When they came, they walked through Xiakou Village, and they walked back through this mountain village as well.

Both sides are still covered with white snow, the snow here is a bit bigger, the snow is half a foot thick, the south is a very low grassy hill, only a few feet high, and the north is still a large grassland, covered with white snow.

The journey was safe and sound, and Jin Bing gradually relaxed his vigilance, and no longer sent spies to inquire ahead. At this time, the team stretched for more than ten miles, but the main reason was that the camel team was relatively long, while the Jin Bing team was relatively neat and dense.

Uyan Puluhun suddenly felt something, he looked at the white snow in the north, he seemed to see the snow moving, he suspected that his eyes were dazzled.

At this moment, more than a thousand soldiers suddenly appeared in the snow outside the white cloth, and they all raised their crossbows and shot at the golden soldiers.

"not good!"

Uyanhun Puluhun reacted very quickly, turned sideways, and hid on the other side of the horse. His horse hissed and fell to the ground, pressing Wuyanhun Puluhun under him. Most of them are arrows from war horses.

The soldiers rescued Uyan Puluhun. He saw that the horse was hit by an arrow in the head, and he fell to the ground and convulsed.

An unprecedented anger exploded in his heart, he raised his head suddenly, and saw more than a thousand soldiers of the Song Army still shooting arrows a hundred paces away, he shouted: "Rush up, and kill them all!" !"

"Woo————" the horn sounded, and four thousand Jurchen cavalry rushed towards more than a thousand crossbowmen a hundred steps away.

More than a thousand crossbowmen turned around and ran wildly. Four thousand cavalrymen were chasing after them. People turned on their backs, dense poisonous nails flew in all directions, screams one after another, and then a fire ignited under their feet, and the fire in the field engulfed four thousand cavalry in an instant.

But this was not enough, suddenly a dense crowd of Song troops appeared fifty steps ahead, there were [-] people, who seemed to emerge from the ground, each of them was wearing a white cloak behind him, holding a crossbow in his hand, and together they charged at the cavalry. When the arrows were released, more than a thousand crossbowmen were just bait, and they all lay on the ground.

Thousands of arrows from the Song army fired at the thousands of Jurchen cavalry like a storm. Thousands of Jurchen cavalry screamed and fell to the snow in large numbers.

Explosions, fire and strong crossbows all appeared in just ten seconds, and dealt a fatal blow to this cavalry. They were struggling in hell. The horse fell to the ground and was engulfed in flames.

Uyan Puluhun was stunned. At this moment, a low-pitched horn sounded from behind him. When Wuyan Puluhun turned his head, he was frightened out of his wits. On the grassy hill to the south, there appeared overwhelming cavalry. The halberd painted in the sky seems to be Chen Qing.

The commander pointed at Fang Tian's halberd, and like a mountain torrent, thirty thousand elite cavalry rushed down from the grassy hill and entered the Jurchen cavalry ranks.
This was a battle without any suspense. The Song army's [-] cavalry and [-] infantry surrounded and suppressed [-] Jurchen cavalry. The key point was that the Jurchen cavalry was ambushed from the very beginning, and the [-] cavalry was almost wiped out.

How could the remaining [-] cavalry be able to withstand the combined killing of [-] cavalry and [-] infantry? After less than half an hour of fierce fighting, the [-] cavalry suffered more than half of their casualties, and were gradually cut into seven or eight by the Song cavalry and infantry. Block, lost the power of group combat.

Wu Yanhun Pulu's knowledge was not good, and he didn't care about rescuing other companions. He led hundreds of cavalry to break out of the siege, and ran eastward for his life, followed by [-] Song cavalry.

Not long after, hundreds of cavalry rushed to Xiakou Village. Xiakou Village is a canyon more than [-] miles long. The Xixia Army and the Song Army have been facing each other for nearly a hundred years.

The Song Army’s side had been abandoned long ago, and the Xiakou Village on the Xixia side had been guarded for nearly ten years. Xiao Heda also gave up after the rebellion. The canyon entered the river east controlled by Jin Bing.

Wuyanhun Pulu led [-] cavalrymen and rushed through Xiakouzhai Pass City like a gust of wind, and entered the canyon, but after running for less than two miles, there was a sound of clappers in front of him, and random arrows were fired from the front and from both sides. The Jurchen cavalry were caught off guard, and more than two hundred people were shot and killed immediately, and the rest of the soldiers retreated in shock.

Wuyanhun Pulu's heart sank into the abyss, and they were blocked in the canyon. Seeing that there were fewer and fewer soldiers under him, he gritted his teeth and shouted: "Life and death are the battle here, if you want to survive, just rush over with me. "

The soldiers shouted wildly, and the commander followed them and ran forward to break through, but it was useless. They were surrounded and attacked on three sides, and before they got close, they were shot by dense arrows. Most of them were shot by arrows. He died tragically on the spot.

Song Jun shot two more rounds of bows and arrows, and there were no more standing people and horses.

At the same time, the battle on the snowy field also ended. Two thousand outer scouts killed dozens of Jurchen cavalry who slipped through the net, and the entire army of [-] Jurchen cavalry was wiped out, all of them were killed, and no one survived.

The [-] camels were controlled by the Song army from the very beginning, and they stood quietly aside until the end of the battle.

Three hours later, [-] Song soldiers left quietly, and the snow field returned to silence. There were no corpses to be seen, only patches of bright red blood, showing that a war had broken out here.

At night, the sky began to snow again, and there was a vast expanse of white snow between the sky and the earth, and all traces were covered by heavy snow.
