Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 1106 Xia Shang's Escape
With the support of the horse army, the infantry can fight at close range, constantly eating away at the position, and strangling the remaining troops of the Xia army.

Seeing the opponent's army formation, only the troops at the southern end, there are two to three thousand people, in the hazy morning light, like a crimson wave sweeping in.

"It's over, it's really over." Seeing the continuous retreat of the outpost, General Xia Jun couldn't help feeling extremely depressed.

The army formation is constantly rolling over. This is by no means a defensive formation such as stacked formation, but a Yuli formation of the Song Army that specializes in offense. , the two wings are chariots and horse troops.

They are like a huge torrent, and they quickly dispersed the Xia Army's security forces. When a wave hit, a layer of Xia Army's defenders disappeared in smoke. Anyone who dared to resist was undoubtedly swept into the formation and strangled in an organized manner. .

Seeing the Song army tearing up and swallowing the blockers, the officials of the Xia army fell into despair. Many people cried and wailed in horror, and pushed back one after another, hoping to avoid the ruthless killing of the Song army.

On the south side of the hill, the Xia army was defeated. Several leading generals were all pale. The Tianwu army really lived up to its reputation. The infantry attacked long and sharply. There are soldiers running for their lives in a hurry, and there is an endless stream of crying and crying, which is really a hell on earth.

Similarly, in the direction of the east and west to the south, the Song army also achieved considerable results, but it was weaker than the main attacking south. It seemed that they were some auxiliary offensive troops. The purpose was to contain part of the Xia army and let the main attacking army make progress.

Even if the offensive strength is not strong, it is still the soldiers and horses of the Tianwu Army. The two infantry brigades and towns all went into battle. They broke up the Xia army's defense in a row and turned to battalion-based raids.The swords and arrows of each battalion were in front, and the crossbows and arrows pressed the formation, constantly sweeping the Xia army on the battlefield, and started killing wantonly.

No one wanted to die if they could survive. The Xia army on the south side of the hill was defeated by a blow. Facing the murderous and steadily advancing Song army, their faces were terrified like a blank sheet of paper, and they could only retreat to the hill.

In the middle of the hill, there is also a strong army stationed, consisting of more than a hundred people in each direction, and they are all composed of people from the Sixth Squadron of the Imperial Palace. Directly hack and kill those who are still fleeing, even if they die, they will die below.

The various units of the Song Army did not pay any attention, all of them had firm faces, fierce eyes, and advanced murderously. The vanguard of several battalions arrived at the foot of the hill.

???? However, some officers and soldiers of the Xia army who were lucky enough to break through the interception were horrified to find that the imperial flag was on the top of the hill, fluttering against the strong wind, but there was no sign of Qing Tianzi, and even the sixth class of guards were mostly missing , which is confusing.

"What's going on, why is Your Majesty missing?"

"Could it be that His Majesty left first, we were abandoned."

"What to do, what should we do."

"If you turn around and fight with the southerners, it will be your life!"

"It's better to surrender, I don't want to die."

Don't say that Xia Jun was in chaos, even Feng Yuan looked very solemn. He summoned Jing Bo and Qiu Yun, and said seriously: "I called you here because of Wei Mingren and Xiao to break through to the north. Do you have the determination?"

Qiu Yun's eyes flickered, his whole body was full of fighting spirit, and his intentions were self-evident.

Jing Bo looked directly at Feng Yuan, and asked in a deep voice: "Fourth brother, is it really decided? We have to face tens of thousands of captives and horse troops."

"Fight, why not fight, since the rabbit has jumped into the pack of wolves, then let's drive the wolves and beat the rabbit." Feng Yuan replied very resolutely.

Fighting with troops of the Jin Army's Temu level is still in the sensitive Henan area. There are great risks in itself. If you can't control the battle situation well, it may affect the entire situation, gradually involving the main forces from the north and the south, and destroying Wang Xiuyin's plan national policy.

However, he was determined to go to war and had great confidence because Li Renxiao fell into the hands of the Jurchens, which would definitely compromise the Northwest strategy of the Song Dynasty, and fell into the embarrassing situation of successive years of war. Not to mention gaining the benefits of the war, he just wanted to maintain the stability , The stability of Hexi is also a dream, and a lot of wealth has to be invested.

Sensing Feng Yuan's heroic aura, Jing Bo collected himself and said in a deep voice, "Since it's a decision, let's make it quick."

"Okay, old nine, I still have to wrong you. The subordinate will be the sharp blade. When the fifth attracts the attention of the captives, you can quickly insert it. Whether to beheaded or captured alive depends on the situation. The two chief patriarchs, Wei Li and Xi Yu It will restrain the captives, and I will solve it as soon as possible, and come to meet you."

Feng Yuan's strategy is very simple, the Tianwu army is the reserve force, the new attached army is the containment force, Jing Bo leads the main brigade to attack, everything is to cover Qiu Yun, the real main force is not a large force, but a few hundred horse troops.

As for Xia Jun who stayed on the outskirts of the hill, in his eyes, he was just a cloud, an ant that could be wiped out, and he didn't pay attention at all.

Li Renxiao abandoned his subordinates again, and under the protection of Qiandao Chong and Yi Yu, he used the counterattack as an excuse to mobilize [-] cavalry to break through to the north.

This time, he didn't hesitate at all. The bloody battlefield made him timid. He trampled on his vow not to abandon his followers. Three thousand riders were no more and no less, at least he could survive.

???It is a pity that he met Feng Yuan, Zhang Qiyuan, Gao Sheng and other heroes. Feng Yuan and Zhang Qiyuan expected his escape to the west, so they had no choice but to break out. Yes, that's not in vain.

Gao Sheng seemed to have been prepared for a long time. When the Xia army rushed forward, the Jin army retreated in the middle, surrounded by two wings, and the horse army held bows and shot.

Huh, huh, huh, thousands of arrows whizzed up and fell into the crowd of the Xia army cavalry.Xia Jun was desperately trying to break through, and his own strength was not much, so he needed to concentrate his forces to carry out an assault and kill them in the shortest possible time. Too many cavalry troops crowded in a limited space, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a huge archery target.

Seeing waves of arrows flying towards them, they were still shooting from both sides. Those horse troops charging at high speed had nowhere to escape. They could only rush forward desperately, hoping that they would not be hit by the arrows.

It's a pity that the cavalry of the Jin army is too close. The Jurchen soldiers themselves are elites in all battles, and their archery skills are extremely superb. Almost all arrows are fired, galloping in the Xia army's horse army, splashing coquettish blood flowers.

The breakout battle eventually became an escape, chaos replaced rigor, and they were completely passive and beaten, and no one would not collapse.

Li Renxiao can't do anything about it. At this time, there is no restraint among the ministries. Everyone is fighting on their own. Everyone is fighting for their own survival. Whether the individual's martial arts is strong or not is not important to whether he survives. The important thing is not to be shot by arrows. Hit, or the horse don't get shot down.
