The struggle of the reborn prince

Chapter 170 VII Difficult Journey

"My lord went to the battlefield and personally led people to stop Chage's army. If you can't destroy this Xia army according to the order, I will chop off your heads one by one!" Jian Xi came to Xinqin with the lord's sword At that time, they found that their battle was still not lukewarm, and the 3 people could not eat Xia Jun's 1 people, so they were not angry, and they drew their knives and pointed at the crowd and shouted at the top of their voices.

"Master Xi, did the prince really go to the front in person?" Linzhou prefect asked.

"That's right, the lord can hold off 1000 people from Brother Cha with 5 people, but 3 of you can't take down [-] soldiers from the Xia army. You can figure it out. This sword was bestowed by the lord before the lord left Beijing. I haven't seen blood yet, so I don't know whose blood will be used to sacrifice the knife!" Jian Xi sneered and weighed the knife in his hand, but his eyes swept over everyone's necks, as if he was picking a target.

"Don't worry, Mr. Xi, I will definitely supervise the battle with all my strength, annihilate Xia's army, and reach Liangu on time!" The prefect of Linzhou felt the cool wind blowing in the back of his head, so he dared not agree.

"Prefect Han, you are fine, I will let the prince know!" Jian Xi said with a smile on his face, "Come on, let's go to the front and see who doesn't have eyes!" Xi held the knife in one hand and pulled the prefect out of the camp with the other, and went to the front of the battle to supervise the battle. . .

The 1 people of the Jianing Army Division were originally tourists, but now they are blocked under the Xinqin City and caught in a heavy siege. In terms of numbers, the cavalry can't take advantage. Their charges were shot back by the rain of arrows, and countless warriors fell under the spears of the Song Army's infantry.

The large formation of the Song army began to move slowly amidst the sound of drums. The thunderous roar of the soldiers was heart-pounding. The Song army, which was advancing at every step, could only keep retreating. The mobility of the cavalry was suppressed, and the defense depth was squeezed a little bit, making it difficult to move like sardines packed in a can.

'Hoo hoo. . . The infantry phalanx of the Song Army suddenly stopped advancing, and quickly moved closer to the two wings. Several cavalry troops galloped out from the gap, and the Hezhou cavalry army was dispatched. A horse took the lead and rushed into the oncoming Xia army, the sword swept across, blood spattered, no one was his single enemy, he tore a gap in the enemy's formation, and the cavalry behind him immediately wedged in, killing Xia's army. Divided into two parts, when they came out through the formation, regrouped, and turned around to enter again, Xia Jun's flag had already crashed down. . .

The Xia army in Liangu City was not many, only more than 2000 people. It seemed a bit unbelievable to deploy such a small number of troops in such an important place, but there was nothing wrong with the situation at that time.There are [-] troops staying behind in the camp in the north, [-] friendly troops attacking Xinqin in the south, and [-] troops covering the left wing. Once there is Jing here, nearby friendly troops can quickly support them, and Brother Cha judges that the main force of the Song army, the Zhongyong Army, is besieging In Fengzhou, the surrounding Song soldiers were scared away by his prestige, and they dared not recapture Liangu, but he did not expect that his optimism and subjective judgment mistakes had already laid the groundwork for Liangu's return and loss. .

After Zhao Lian's troops wiped out the Xia army who stayed in the camp yesterday, they immediately sent troops to camp in Liangu overnight, preparing to seize the city the next day.At this time, the defenders of Liangu have become frightened birds. After the Baotai army staying in the camp was defeated, small groups of fish that slipped through the net continued to escape into the city, making them feel that the disaster was about to fall on them, so they reported to the new Qin asked for help, and the news brought back by the messenger sent to Xin Qin for help was even more frustrating. They were already surrounded and unable to protect themselves, and there was no way to support them.

As soon as the sun rose, the Song army fell into chaos, and the army went out to surround Liangu. Zhao Lian knew that things had changed after receiving the prince's death order and knowing that the prince personally led the guards to intercept Chage's army. , the situation is critical, without saying a word, the whole army immediately attacked the city.

The power and effect of the artillery in the capture of Fengzhou and the annihilation of the Baotai army is obvious to all. In order to quickly take down the city, the artillery became the first choice weapon. The door opened by itself, and the Liangu defenders surrendered!

In addition to saddlery and armed riders, cavalry horses also carry spare clothing, camping equipment and horse feeding equipment, as well as grain and fodder during wartime.In various military units and various types of cavalry, the total load of horses during the march is between three hundred and four hundred catties, which is much greater than that of civilian horses.This excessive load on the horse is the greatest weakness of all cavalry, so when judging the combat effectiveness and endurance of cavalry, one must always pay attention to the weight of the horse.

The three thousand Xia soldiers were ordered to go back to the defense, and they trekked all night in the dark. It can be said that people were tired and horses were exhausted. Although people could take a nap on the horse's back, the horse could not rest.Now the car needs to be refueled and maintained for a certain distance, not to mention the bloody horses. In the past two days, they feinted to attack Xinqin, detoured through Liangu, and marched into Zhuolunchuan, but they were about to reach their destination. Turning around, it can be said to be running non-stop. Although the horses are still running hard under the driving of the soldiers, some horses still can't stand it anymore, and they fall down and can't stand up anymore. The rest time is getting longer and longer.

"Bao Duya, the bridge ahead has collapsed, and the current is so fast that you can't swim across!" Chuankou was about to be reached for more than a dozen miles, and Duya, the leader, thought that he might encounter the Song army ahead. After finishing repairs, I received a report from the scouts who explored the path.

"Hurry up and order people to cut down the trees and rebuild the bridge!" Du Ya ordered the soldiers in charge to get off their horses and build the bridge immediately, and the advancing team had to stop.

How can there be so many big trees suitable for bridge building in this canyon, and there are no tools such as axes and saws at hand, but this can't stop the impatient Xia Jun. The logs for the bridge were dragged to the river by horses. Fortunately, the bridge deck was gone, but the piers were still there. After more than 20 people were washed away by the river, they finally paved the bridge deck, which could barely accommodate four riders. In parallel, it can be regarded as rush repair.But everyone looked at the temporary bridge paved with "big" trees with thick arms. Horseshoes could leak through the gaps on it. No one dared to cross the bridge on horseback. They all moved over carefully with their horses. 3000 people moved It took half an hour to cross the river, but it seemed that the matter was not over yet.

'Boom' Suddenly there was a sound on the flat road, and everyone felt their eyes light up. The brothers walking in front had disappeared, and there was only a big hole left on the ground. It took a long time to recover and start on the road again. The scene happened again, and everyone was scared. After asking for instructions, the line was changed to "don't go on the big road, take the small road", and the horizontal team was changed to a column. The team of people has the momentum of tens of thousands.

Everyone was careful enough, they almost let the war horse walk on tiptoe, but walking and walking 'papa. . . After a few noises, someone fell off the horse, with blood oozing from either the head or the chest. After a few times, everyone hid in the crowd, and no one was willing to be the vanguard. It turned out that it was done by the people hiding in the bushes two hundred paces away, and they hurriedly sent people to chase them.After asking for instructions again, two additional teams were sent to search along the border. After finding out the situation, the army was following up.

Just like that, accidents continued. Maybe at some point, a big rock would roll down from the canyon, and it didn't follow the traffic rules, didn't walk across the pedestrian crossing, and skipped across the queue, leaving a few bloody bodies behind. A corpse with a blurry flesh, no need to ask for instructions, everyone knows how to do it, while marching, looking up to both sides. . . .

There is Feihu Gorge in front, and Duya breathed a sigh of relief. There are straight cliffs on both sides, and monkeys can't climb them. Moreover, the road is narrow here, and both sides are within the range of bows and arrows. It's a dead end, it would be polite not to turn him into a hedgehog.

"Du Ya, Song Jun was found ahead, blocking our way!" The scout came to report again.

"How many people are there?" Du Ya looked at the scout in front of him and wished he could chop him up with a knife, these mourners must be in trouble when they come.

"Baoduya, there are about 200 people!" Seeing the leader's unkind expression, the scout hurriedly lowered his head to report.

"Haha, 200 people want to block our 3000 people, they are crazy!" Du Yale, 200 people are not enough for them to charge, and they can be trampled to death by horseshoes without pulling out knives.

Du Ya went to the front and watched carefully, and saw that the main road was blocked by people. Those people had built a masonry wall with sandbags, and everyone was hiding behind the mast. The tall trees act as a corner to stop the horse, just like a child's play house.

"Come on, chop all these people up!" Du Ya waved his hand, and a group of cavalry rushed out immediately, roaring and killing the generals, vowing to kill these Song soldiers under their horses.

"Ready to fire!" Lin Shuo raised his hand, staring at the Xia army cavalry who was approaching quickly and shouted, these people don't take themselves seriously, we are the prince's guards, just send these two people, I just want to break through my defense line, but my machine gun has twelve tings on my side, and the firepower density exceeds the configuration of a battalion of other troops.

The ignorant are fearless. These Xia soldiers have fought against the real loyal and brave soldiers. They are only famous for their firearms but have never met them. Duya was dumbfounded, this journey of his was really exciting!
