Chapter 400 Xirong Seven Kingdoms and Three Kingdoms Retreat

Before leaving Huaizhou, Chen Mo temporarily handed over all the work at hand to Geng Songfu.

After lunch, he took Chu Juan, Xiao Yunxi, and the trophies captured in Huaizhou with him at the barracks, boarded the Yu Scale Guard's warship, and returned to Linzhou.

Longyou.

Smoke and dust billowed in the wilderness, and swords and guns were intertwined.

"Woo" a loud and long horn sounded, followed by bursts of drums.

"Array."

The soldiers and horses of the Yuezhi, wearing light gray armor, and King Chong assisted Longyou's Chong army, who was wearing black armor. Hearing the sound of the horn, they lined up the battle formation in an orderly manner.

The general stood on the command platform in the middle of the formation, with flags flying around him from time to time, and Chongjun sentries with feathers on their backs shuttled through the aisles of the formation.

Soon, a formation like a tortoise shell was laid out.

Watching the opponent set up a battle formation, the armies of the seven nations fighting against him charged forward as before.

In the blink of an eye, two torrents of people collided together, and the armies of the Seven Kingdoms of Xirong evolved from a straight line during the charge into a curve.

Amidst the shouts of killing, the two armies met in close combat. The soldiers on both sides screamed shrilly one after another. Blood burst out in bursts. The sharp blades harvested human lives as cheap as ants on the battlefield.

However, the battle formation formed by the Chong Army and the Yuezhi Army made it impossible for the charging soldiers of the Seven Kingdoms to find a single flaw.

The battle formation formed stood like a boulder in the rushing river under the waves of offensives from the seven nations' armies, standing still.

As time went by, lives were harvested one by one, and the army of the Seven Kingdoms showed exhaustion and cowardice after being unable to attack for a long time.

At this moment, a desolate drum sound suddenly sounded from the "Song Army" formation, and extremely heavy footsteps came from the formation, just like horse hooves stepping on the earth. The "Song Army Battle Formation" that had been unable to be conquered for a long time suddenly opened .

The soldiers of the Seven Kingdoms of Xirong in front felt that their eyes suddenly opened up, and then a large number of heavy infantry with almost no gaps suddenly emerged from the "Song Army" formation.

Before they could react, the heavily armed infantry was like a tiger descending from the mountain, tearing apart the soldiers of the Seven Kingdoms at the front.

The soldiers of the Seven Kingdoms were panicked for a moment. A general raised his sword and raised a flag and shouted, trying to stabilize his morale. However, only the troops of his own country obeyed the order, while the troops of the other six countries fled in panic.

Then this "Going Down the Mountain Tiger", like a sharp arrow, shot into the army of the Seven Kingdoms, and the wide-open "Song Army" military formation at the rear also immediately changed its formation, following the "Going Down the Mountain" in front. "Tiger", they rushed into the army of the Seven Kingdoms together.

Suddenly, the soldiers of the "Song Army" were invincible, and the armies of the seven countries in front of them fell like wheat.

This battle was quite grand and ended very quickly.

The "Song Army" composed of Chongjun and Yuezhi troops once again defeated the troops of the Seven Kingdoms with a smaller number and a larger number.

But this battle was initiated by the "Song Army".

The victory of this war also allowed Longyou to regain the five cities that had been occupied by the armies of the Seven Kingdoms.

At present, the armies of the Seven Kingdoms have been driven to the edge of Longyou by the "Song Army". Only a few counties in the edge are left to recapture all the territory occupied by the Seven Kingdoms.

The generals of the "Song Army" were discussing whether they should pursue the victory.

The generals sent by the seven countries were now arguing in the military tent.

The first to attack Longyou was the Bulu Kingdom among the seven kingdoms of Xirong. They not only captured five cities in Longyou, but also captured 300,000 people and animals.

Now that the Buru Kingdom has taken such a big advantage, the other six countries in Xirong have just come to an end.

In other words, the seven kingdoms of Xirong, including the Bulu Kingdom, had no intention of really defeating Longyou. They simply wanted to enter the Song Dynasty to loot and take advantage of it.

Except for the Bulu Kingdom, which initially dispatched elites, the troops sent to Longyou by the other six countries were not considered elites. If the people above have this idea, the people below will naturally not risk their lives to fight the "Song Army".

In this case, once the armies of the seven countries encountered resistance from the "Song Army", they all ended in defeat.

Since King Chong sent troops to assist Longyou, the armies of the seven countries have lost more and won less, and they have lost all critical battles.

After several wars, the Seven Kingdoms suffered heavy casualties, so naturally they had no intention of fighting anymore.

Bruguo was the first to clamor to go home.

Anyway, it has already taken advantage. It originally wanted to take more, but now it sees that the "Song Army" is not easy to mess with, so it plans to stop in time.

In addition, there are two countries that have suffered less losses and plan to withdraw their troops together with the Bru Kingdom.

But the remaining four countries insisted on fighting again.

Because since they invaded Longyou, they have not taken advantage. After several defeats, their side has suffered the most casualties. How can they be willing to take so many people in without taking advantage.

They clamored to send the most elite troops from home to fight again.

……

The northernmost part of the Song Dynasty.

Jin Xia.

A grand military parade was being held on a school field at the foot of a mountain outside the imperial city.

In this military parade, a total of 100,000 troops were gathered, and the flags stretched for more than 30 miles.

Jinxia is a kingdom composed of more than a dozen tribes in the grassland, so the men here are very wilderness.

The grassland lacked iron ore, and the craftsmanship was not as good as that of the Song Dynasty. As a result, except for the most elite troops, few soldiers in Jinxia wore armor.

Although the Song Dynasty looked down upon this place, which they called the "Northern Wasteland and Barbarian Country", it was not unprepared, so it strictly prohibited mineral resources such as iron ore from being transported to Jinxia.

Because they were not wearing armor and it was a hot day, the soldiers stood together with their breasts exposed, which made everyone look very strong, giving people a great sense of oppression.

On the temporary terrace in front of the school grounds, all civil and military officials gathered like this.

Jin Xia learned everything from the Song Dynasty. The court structure and official system were basically copied from the Song Dynasty court, but they still called the emperor Khan.

"Great Khan, please come here and play the emperor's rites and music."

I saw an eunuch shouting loudly, and soon, high-pitched and noble ceremonial music sounded around the school grounds.

Luan Jia was seen parked outside the school grounds under the protection of the Royal Forest Army.

With the support of the maid, the Khan and Ke Dun stepped down from the carriage one by one.

The moment Ke Dun came down, he immediately attracted the attention of everyone.

Although Jin Xia learned from the Song Dynasty, he still retained some customs and habits.

For example, women from Jinxia, ​​ranging from princes and nobles to common people, dress more boldly.

In the Song Dynasty, only women from brothels would wear dresses that exposed their forearms, navels, and calves in front of everyone. If anyone dared to walk on the street wearing such clothes, they would definitely be pointed out. Yes, it's offensive.

But it's completely different in Jinxia. Almost all women who love beauty wear it this way.
