Chapter 430 The Battle in the Snow
The sound of horns sounded from all directions, and more than a dozen battalions of the Xia army were attacked by the cavalry and soldiers of the Fan army at the same time.

Among them, Yinghe Fu and Yan Yelie led the army to attack the main camp of the Xia army's rear army, of course.They didn't know that the general in the rear of the Xia army was Liu Heita, but from the layers of antlers repelling the carbine, it could be seen that the enemy general was heavily guarded.

The location of the camp built by the army camp behind Xia Jundian is also very ingenious. It is sandwiched between two hillsides, which not only happens to block the way of Yi County, but also depends on the condescending situation. , Reeds are overgrown, which is not conducive to the passage of infantry and cavalry, so it is easy to defend and difficult to attack.The most important thing is that its camp is firmly anchored, guarding the main road leading to the south and east of Dou Jiande's Chinese army.

Before the war, Yinghefu and Yan Yelie were ordered by Xu Shiji to set this battalion as the main target for night attack.The two of them led [-] prairie horsemen to attack this camp. Once they captured the Xia Army's rear camp, they would win the battle nine out of ten times, and this battle established the victory.

Unlike the other battalions, which went smoothly all the way, the battalion that attacked the Xia army's rear army fell into a hard fight from the very beginning.

Yinghefu saw that Yan Yelie's front army finally broke through the first fence of the enemy's army after a hard fight. When he broke into the camp and killed the second fence, there was a sudden crash of collapse.The screams of a large number of soldiers, and in the snow.

Yinghefu's face darkened, but when he saw Yan Yelie galloped out in embarrassment, the soldiers behind him also threw away their helmets and armor.Yinghe Fuce immediately grabbed Yan Yelie's horse's head and shouted, "What's going on?"

Yan Yelie's face was covered with snow and blood, and he dropped one of the two knives in his hand, and said in a panic: "The enemy is in ambush, the thief is too cunning like a wolf, Jing dug a big hole in the army, use The sheepskin covered it, so it couldn't be seen, and the hundreds of brothers who broke into the camp all went to see Changshengtian."

Seeing that the Fanjun soldiers who had entered the camp were driven out by the Xia army with their weapons backwards, Yinghefu said angrily, "The Han man surnamed Xu led all the troops to fight smoothly. The army has been gnawed on a hard bone, and if the news spreads, it will make the Han people look down on us."

Yan Yelie shook his head and said: "Brother, it's not that our brothers don't work hard, it's just that the guards of this battalion must be the elite warriors of the Xia Army. God damn it, I have fought for more than 20 years, and I have never fought such a difficult battle. If we continue to fight, I am afraid that we will all be wiped out, and we will not be able to fight."

Seeing Yan Yelie say so, Yinghefu rolled his eyes, and shouted: "Yan Yelie, you have lost the face of us grassland people. I don't believe it."

Hearing this, Yan Yelie took off his hat, exposed his bald head and said, "Brother, I'm not afraid of death. I won't come to see you alive if I don't capture this camp today, but Dou Jiande's head is what Khan wants." Big brother, leave it to me, and you go and attack Dou Jiande's Chinese army with that surnamed Xu."

Hearing this, Yinghe Fu said in a deep voice: "What brother said is true, I will leave this place to you."

After finishing speaking, Yinghe Fu waved his long knife and said to the soldiers behind him, "Follow me."

Afterwards, with a wave of his arms, Yinghefu followed him to leave with the cavalry of the [-] troops who besieged Liu Heita's camp.

Seeing Yinghe Fu leaving, Yan Yelie shouted with a ferocious expression, "Follow me if you are not afraid of death."

Yan Yelie's desperate attitude shocked all the Fanjun soldiers nearby, and all the Fanjun cavalry outside the camp followed him to attack Liu Heita's camp for the second time.

But at this moment, around Dou Jiande's Chinese army camp, there is a lot of panic.

Under Xu Shiji and Sun Erniang's onslaught, the six camps defending Dou Jiande's central camp were breached, and five were breached.Of the six camps, only the camp of Xia Jun's general Cheng Mingzhen repelled several attacks by the Youzhou Army and remained intact.

And the three camps of Dou Jiande's wife and brother on the left wing of the Xia army, and Cao Dan in Daxingtai, were all breached.The soldiers of the Xia Army were driven out of the camp by the Fanjun cavalry like ducks being crushed, and they were chased and killed by cavalry who were less than one-tenth of them in the snow all over the mountains and plains.

The heavy snow fell, covering Dou Jiande's armor with a layer of hoarfrost, but seeing Dou Jiande standing in the middle army with his sword, although it was covered by the wind and snow, he could not see far away, but he heard the screams from all sides, and he could guess that Xia Jun Now it is a tragic situation of defeat like a mountain.

"Your Majesty." Zhang Xuansu, Song Zhengben, Ling Jing and other officials came to Dou Jiande together.

I saw Ling Jing stepped forward and knelt down, kowtowed in the snow and said: "Your Majesty, Li Chongjiu's plan has been decided by me, and I implore Your Majesty to grant him death."

Dou Jiande helped Ling Jing up, and said loudly: "How can Ling Qing be blamed for this matter, now is not the time to pursue it, what do you think?"

Song Zhengben was at a loss, and said: "At present, the surrounding area is in turmoil, and it seems that the entire army has been wiped out. I implore Your Majesty to lead the light cavalry to break through immediately, and don't worry about us."

"It's nonsense." Zhang Xuansu scolded.

"You," Song Zhengben saw Zhang Xuansu say so, he couldn't help but said angrily, "Didn't you claim to have no plans, why didn't you count what happened tonight, Your Majesty begs Zhang Xuansu to be punished first."

"Stop arguing about this, Zhang Qing, tell me, the surrounding area is in turmoil right now, and there is no news from any battalion, should I sit on guard or break out of the siege."

Zhang Xuansu said seriously: "Your Majesty, listen, although the outer periphery is in turmoil, the roads to the south and east are relatively calm. This road is where Liu Heita's rear army is stationed. Your Majesty, generals, you can't believe it." , but General Liu is your sworn brother, can't you still believe it?"

Dou Jiande nodded when he heard the words, and said: "You're right, brother Hei Kai, you will definitely be the way out for me."

Ling Jing immediately asked: "According to Zhang Huangmen, is it to stick to the camp?"

Zhang Xuansu said: "In the midst of chaos, rushing to the camp is definitely more dangerous than defending the camp. Our Xia army has a hundred thousand troops. Once the day breaks, we can hold our ground. Your Majesty must not leave lightly."

While speaking, there was only a bang.

There was a commotion coming from the gate of Xia Junzhong, and Dou Jiande shouted, "What's going on?"

The soldiers rushed over in a hurry, and said with a bloodless face: "Your Majesty, the enemy suddenly drove thousands of cattle, horses and animals straight into the gate of our army, and broke the gate fence! The enemy cavalry has followed. Enter the camp of the Chinese army."

"Fire Bull Formation?" Song Zhengben said palely.

"What kind of fire ox formation? The left battalion of our army is full of animal feet for transportation. After the current fall, it will be driven by the Youzhou army to trap the formation," Zhang Xuansu said, beating his chest and patting his feet. At that time, he actually came up with this poisonous plan."

Zhang Xuansu said to Dou Jiande: "Your Majesty, the general situation is over. Right now, the camp of the Chinese army is no longer defendable. I can't do anything. Your Majesty will decide everything."

While speaking, the enemy cavalry, holding torches, rushed into the camp of Dou Jiande's Chinese army, chopping down the soldiers of Xia army like melons and vegetables.

Immediately there was another burst of arrows flying horizontally, and Xia Jun's soldiers fell under the arrows.

Don't kill me, Xia Jun wailed and ran wildly. In the camp, soldiers abandoned their positions and ran around like headless chickens. Several generals of the Xia Army who were in charge of the war were killed until their knives were cut off, but they still couldn't stop. The escape of the soldiers.

"Capture Dou Jiande alive and make him Marquis of Ten Thousand Households!"

"Capture Dou Jiande alive and make him Marquis of Ten Thousand Households!"

The sound of hooves getting closer and closer was mixed with the sound of shouting.

When Dou Jiande heard this, he laughed and said: "I never thought that my head, Dou Jiande, is worth a lot. This is the end of the matter. If any of you are willing to tie me up and exchange Li Chongjiu for a fortune, I, Dou Jiande, will never blame him."

All the generals said at the same time: "Your Majesty has treated us with such kindness as a mountain, and he will repay it with death."

Dou Jiande pressed his sword and said with a big laugh: "I didn't see the wrong person, the dead bird is in the sky, what are you afraid of! Fight!"

At present, Dou Jiande, all the ministers, and the Qianxia Army's relatives mounted their horses together.

Dou Jiande drew his sword and shouted: "Everyone, follow me to break out of the encirclement."

Xia Jun shouted together and followed Dou Jiande to the left and right.

As soon as Dou Jiande came out of the gate of the Central Army, someone called out that the man was Dou Jiande, and then a large number of Youzhou army cavalry came from all directions.

Horseshoes staggered, and everyone drew their swords to fight on the dirt road between the camps.

Dou Jiande's relatives fought to the death and resisted the Youzhou Army's Fanqi from the front. Dou Jiande, Zhang Xuansu and others took the opportunity to ride hundreds of horses, protruding from the gate.

Only then did he break out of the gate, the wind and snow fell rapidly, and his vision was limited, so he couldn't take ten steps.

Dou Jiande could only lead his army around the camp and walk towards the place where there was fire, when all of a sudden, hooks and ropes were everywhere, and dozens of Xia army cavalry who rushed forward were all tripped by the horse ropes.

Countless soldiers with spears came from all around, and a general wearing a white cloak, among thousands of troops, said loudly: "King Xia, I, Xu Shiji, have been waiting for you for a long time. "

When General Xia Jun heard Xu Shiji's name, everyone's expression changed immediately.

Dou Jiande drew his sword and said: "Follow me to kill!"

Zhang Xuansu stepped forward to hold Dou Jiande's horse, and said: "Your Majesty, Xu Shiji is a famous general of the Youzhou Army, and he is invincible from the front. It is better to retreat."

While talking, at this time, suddenly the Youzhou army entered the southeast corner of the battle with troops and horses.

A silver-robed general waved his Zhangba horse lance, covering the left and the right, and killed the Youzhou army like a tidal wave.

While fighting, this person said loudly: "King Xia, go quickly, some generation you resist for a while!"

Dou Jiande saw that it was General Cheng Mingzhen, who had been defending the camp for Dou Jiande, repelling the Youzhou army's attack several times, and seeing the camp of the Chinese army was breached, Cheng Mingzhen led hundreds of men to rush out to rescue Dou Jiande.

When Dou Jiande saw Cheng Mingzhen came to rescue him, he was overjoyed and said, "What are you talking about, if you don't leave, brother, I won't leave either. If there are eggs in the crotch, I will kill you!"

Seeing reinforcements coming, Xia Jun's morale was immediately boosted, and Dou Jiande even led the army to charge.The two armies cooperated in one place and fought hard, but they managed to break out of Xu Shiji's encirclement.

When breaking out of the siege, Dou Jiande, Cheng Mingzhen and others had only less than a hundred horsemen behind them, and many generals of the Xia army were not in the formation.

Seeing this, Xia Jun's generals couldn't help thinking, and cried for a while.
