Song Dynasty Iron Armored Army

Chapter 462
Just as he was about to enter the city, he suddenly saw an army of 500 female cavalrymen coming out from the side, especially the female general at the head. The armor was all specially made, which showed his figure very well.

In the wild land of Xixia, where have I seen such beauties, one by one involuntarily rushed over.

Suddenly there was a bang, and five hundred crossbow arrows flew over like locusts.

Although the little arrow is not big, its penetrating power is very strong, poof.

Hundreds of cavalrymen fell to their deaths.

The general who led the support team was pierced through the neck by an arrow from Pang Qiuxia, and fell off his horse staring at the dead fish.

The remnant soldiers retreated into Huayin City and joined forces with General Zhang Chong to defend together.

At the east gate of Huayin City, Chai Lin gathered [-] soldiers to form an array.

At first, there were fifty bed crossbows, and double bow crossbows with winches were needed.

The big arrow was a short spear with an oilcloth wrapped around its tip, and it kept falling from the sky with raging fire, igniting the wooden shields on the city wall, and igniting the civilian houses, barracks, etc. inside the city wall.

Although the damage is small, it has a great impact on the morale of the army, and the opponent has a lot of troops.

"Ask for help, ask for help immediately." Zhang Chong immediately sent someone to ask for help from the main forces of Xixia near Weizhou Mansion.

Xixia Marshal Ye Liboduo is a member of the Xixia royal family. At the age of 35, he is in the prime of life.

"What the hell is Zhang Chong doing? He just sent [-] cavalry and needs reinforcements. Is Tong Guan so easy to deal with?" Ye Libo was a little angry.

However, Zhang Chong is a veteran general on the battlefield. Since he wants to support him, there must be a situation.Immediately, another thousand-man infantry was dispatched, and the commander of the thousand, Mo Tu, was a Turkic man with a ferocious nature and was best at attacking and defending cities.

Mo Tu's personality was rather anxious, the distance between the two armies was about 120 li, and normally it would take two days for the infantry to march.

Mo Tu didn't want to set up camp at night, and marched all the way in a hurry, except for meals and occasional rests, he kept walking.

He led 1000 elite Xixia soldiers with strong combat effectiveness. They set off before dawn in the morning and arrived in Huayin County in the evening when the sun was setting. The journey was safe and there was not even a shadow of a ghost.

Ye Libodo also arranged for him to be careful of ambushes, which seemed redundant.

Mo Tu pointed to the Huayin County town a few miles away and said, "Wolf cubs, did you see that the county town is ahead. Rest here and eat some dried meat. Let's have another good meal when we enter the city."

Although he is an elite soldier of Xixia, he is a body of flesh and blood after all. After walking 120 miles a day, his leg is as sore as if he was pricked by a needle.

Everyone dared not sit down, but stood up and ate jerky and drank kumiss.

Suddenly, I felt that the ground was shaking slightly, couldn't it be an earthquake?

Mo Tu raised his head and looked towards the east, only to see the black armored cavalry stretching as far as the eye can see. Many people couldn't see clearly, but there were a lot of them.

The team was led by none other than Lin Chong, Qin Ming and their lieutenants.

"Enemy attack, line up."

Everyone hurried to pick up shields and machetes and bows and arrows.

But before he had time to stand firm, the heavy armored cavalry roared like the wind.

The feather arrow landed on the cavalry and was easily bounced off.

Mo Tu urged the black horse under his crotch, waved the big knife in his hand, and wanted to fight.

But what greeted him was a mace with a head the size of a watermelon.

For a long time, in Mo Tu's impression, Song people were as weak as sheep, ready to be slaughtered.

But he was wrong, horribly wrong.

With just one move, the big knife in his hand was blown away by the mace, and even his right arm was severely hammered by the mace.

Immediately afterwards, a sharp short spear stabbed him in the chest with a puff. The cavalryman was also a bachelor, and he didn't want the short spear. He changed his weapon and continued to charge.

These Xixia soldiers are usually used to robbing at the border, and they always like to watch the despair of innocent villagers before they die.

Today, retribution came.

Three thousand heavy-armored cavalrymen crushed them with absolute strength. After a charge, no one in the thousand-man Xixia soldiers could stand still.

Waiting for work with leisure, three thousand heavy armored cavalry fighting a thousand tired soldiers, this is not called a war, it is just a charge, the cavalry behind has not been caught yet, and the battle ahead is over.

Qin Ming clicked his mouth and said, "This has just begun, but it's already over. It's too soon. It's not fun, it's not fun."

Lin Chong said with a smile: "The battle has just begun. This is just a drill arranged by my brother for us to practice our skills. If the prediction is correct, what we are going to deal with is the most elite iron kite cavalry in Xixia."

Qin Ming shook his mace and laughed loudly: "It doesn't matter whether he has an iron waist or a copper waist, they will beat them all."

Counting the casualties, the results are very gratifying. 1000 Xixia infantry were wiped out, and only more than [-] people were injured on their own side, and no one was killed.

This battle damage ratio is still very impressive, but Lin Chong is distressed.

"Three thousand heavy-armored soldiers fought against one thousand weak soldiers, and 20 people were injured. We still have to practice. We are too weak." Lin Chong said bitterly.

At this time, Zhang Chong, who was on Huayincheng's head, threw his helmet on the ground angrily.

"Hey, hit a hammer. This is a heavy cavalry, how can you hit it?"

"General, call for help. They actually have thousands of heavily armored cavalry. We can't get out of the city anymore." The lieutenant general said.

Zhang Chong scolded: "I'm begging for an egg, this is a strategy to surround the spot and fight for help. The four gates are closed, and it is strictly forbidden to go out of the city to ask for help."

Chai Lin led the army to set up camp ten miles away from the city. The mighty force, less than [-] people, looked very large because of the large number of horses.

In the evening, the generals discussed affairs in the Chinese army.

Qin Ming patted his thigh and said: "It's fun, it's fun, it's really fun. One charge wiped out a thousand-man team in Xixia."

Lu Da said: "Back then, the Sa family didn't have heavy armored cavalry, even if they had horses, they could punish the Xixia people severely. At that time, the court was really poor, and the soldiers didn't even have leather armor. Go to the battlefield with a knife and fight the Xixia people."

Wu Yong said: "Three small victories, the morale has improved, but the Xixia soldiers have only suffered a superficial injury. The Xixia army will not come over in the short term. We will continue westward tomorrow, preparing to leave the customs and enter Xixia."

Shan Shiqi was taken aback, and said: "Didn't the book of war say that unconquered cities cannot be left on the way of attack?"

Chai Lin explained: "Our goal this time is not to capture many cities, but to destroy the enemy's vital strength. One move will move the whole body. As long as we break into the territory of Xixia, the army of Yeli Boduo will follow behind us." Finally, we must use flexible tactics to drag down and annihilate the enemy during the movement. Another point, we are not leaving tomorrow morning, but at midnight tonight. Both heavy cavalry and light cavalry will leave, and I will lead the The rear of the barracks."

"Yes."

All the generals promised to retreat.
