A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

The Dahu River in summer is a bit violent, the current is fast and the sound can be heard far away.

This river originates in Xixia and is one of the upper tributaries of the Yellow River.

There seems to be abundant water here, but the soil quality is not good and the vegetation is sparse.

This is the style of the northwest, and Shen An gradually becomes familiar with it.

He was waiting for Bao Zheng's decision.

Bao Zheng looked at him with a little worry in his eyes.

"Cavalry is precious, I can't give you too much..."

"Yes, I only need the Mangshan Army and five hundred cavalry."

Bao Zheng's lips moved, wanting to say it was too little, but in the end he nodded and whispered: "Be careful."

Shen An nodded, turned around and shouted: "With five hundred cavalry, who is willing to follow me to kill the enemy?"

"X! Waiting for the order, I am willing to go!"

"And so-and-so!"

After a period of confusion, Shen An set off with more than 600 cavalry.

"Aren't warriors afraid of death?"

A small official who followed from the capital asked with some confusion.

His companions didn’t understand either. “Going up at this time... Although a certain person doesn’t understand battle formations, they also know the danger ahead. They still rush to go. It’s really puzzling.”

In the past, they viewed warriors as vulgar and timid, but after arriving in the northwest, these inherent impressions were gradually shattered.

Shen An led the cavalry to charge all the way. Seeing that there were many of them, the intercepting enemy rangers avoided the middle and prepared to shoot the Song army with bows and arrows from both wings.

"Crossbow!"

As a result, before they could get within the range of the bow and arrow, they were hit by the divine crossbow.

In this dispatch, Shen An equipped the cavalry with a large number of divine crossbows to ensure that they would receive several waves of arrows before contacting the enemy.

Crossbow arrows flew everywhere, and enemy riders fell off their horses from time to time.

"volley!"

When the enemy approached, the scattered crossbow arrows immediately turned into a crossbow array, and their lethality suddenly increased.

Within the area covered by the crossbow arrows, few people were spared.

Shen An didn't pay attention to the flanks, he stared ahead.

As they galloped along, many of the enemy riders on both sides were killed by divine crossbows. The remaining ones did not dare to get closer, but only shouted threats from a distance.

When he saw the smoke in the distance, Shen An also saw the scouts who were trying to return and the Xixia Rangers who were chasing them.

There were about 700 enemy rangers, but only about 70 scouts were left. The huge gap made the Song army's scouts have no choice but to run away, leaving no room for counterattack.

Moreover, the scout's duty is to inquire about information and report back information, not to kill the enemy.

So they were still fighting left and right in the face of huge sacrifices, and they just wanted to go back and report the enemy's situation.

This is the battlefield!

"Lang Jun, they are attacking the small with more, it is shameless!"

Huang Chun's eyes turned red, and for the first time, he felt the kind of heartache he felt between Pao Ze.

"Mr. Lang!"

Everyone is looking at Shen An.

Shen An drew his sword and said, "Then let's bully them and attack!"

More than 600 cavalry went to bully the enemy's more than 700 cavalry. Shen An said it was natural. The cavalry behind him were a little nervous, but the Mangshan army was very calm.

Huang Chun pulled out his long sword and shouted the slogan that gradually became known to everyone: "Brothers, it's time to hit the grass and valley!"

"It's time to hit the grass valley!"

The Mangshan Army shouted wildly, followed closely behind Shen An, and left quickly.

In front, the Song army's scouts, Du Heli, were galloping on their horses.

He and his men risked their lives to find out the enemy's situation, but were hunted down all the way.

The enemy troops were surrounding them, but after just a few rounds, He Li's men suffered heavy casualties.

"Du Tou, reinforcements are coming!"

Just when He Li was anxious, someone saw the reinforcements coming quickly, and everyone immediately cheered.

"There are only five to six hundred people! What are these people going to do? It's not enough for the Xixia people to charge for a while."

The Song Dynasty had no advantage over cavalry, so if there were fewer people, it would naturally lead to defeat but no victory.

He Li shouted: "What a fool! Who led the army here? Hurry up and let them withdraw!"

This was not because of his high moral integrity, but because he was worried that after being entangled by the enemy, no one would have a chance to go back.

The rangers behind them refused to surround them, just to lure the Song army to come for reinforcements, and then finish off their opponents together.

The so-called encirclement and reinforcements have long been known to everyone, and human nature is the best strategist at this moment.

"Go back! Go back!"

The scouts were roaring anxiously, their faces turning red.

But the distance was too far, no matter how loud the roar was, it couldn't be heard, so the horn blew long and urgently.

But the reinforcements are coming faster and faster.

The Xixia pursuers were ecstatic and detoured from both sides to meet them, and even gave up on He Li and the others. It was obvious that their purpose was to annihilate the Song army's cavalry.

There were too few cavalry in the Song Dynasty, and a few died. When the cavalry was almost dead, the Xixia people could burn, kill and loot around unscrupulously, and even try to attack the city.

"They are crazy! What a fool! Who led the army? That lunatic, he is going to die!"

In He Li's eyes, the supporting troops were charging towards the enemy in a cheerful manner, as if they were having a carnival.

"They're crazy!"

He murmured and repeated his opinion again, and then gritted his teeth and said: "Go and report the news to some people, and the rest will follow you!"

He will not abandon the reinforcements and go back, that would make him feel shameful!

"Who is it?"

He felt that such a wild gesture was rare, no, he had never seen it before.

Who supports?

"Brothers...it's time to hit the grass valley!"

With this cry, the crossbow arrows became powerful.

The dense crossbow arrows caused huge damage to the rapidly charging enemy cavalry. The enemy cavalry were blinded. Before they could react, the Song army showered them with crossbow arrows again.

During the Qin and Han Dynasties, the most powerful weapon used by the Han people to deal with the aliens on the grasslands was the crossbow.

The cavalry of the aliens on the grassland are fierce, but we have crossbows and can shoot you from a long distance.

"It's waiting for an edict! It's the Mangshan Army!"

The scouts began to cheer. In their eyes, Shen An was one of the generals of the Song Dynasty. He led the army to help, and even if he couldn't win, he could still escape intact.

But they underestimated Shen An!

After several rounds of crossbows, the enemy cavalry who suffered heavy casualties finally recovered, but Shen An led the Mangshan Army and ran headlong into it.

Bang!

When the horses collided, the first wave of Mangshan troops were knocked away by five people, but the subsequent fight was a massacre.

Shen An felt that he was born for the battlefield. He didn't feel any lag in swinging the sword. When he felt a slight resistance in his hand, he only had to relax his wrist and wait for the speed to increase with the long sword.

Tsk tsk tsk!

When the enemy's blood spurted out from his chest, Shen An had already rushed to the next place!

"Peripheral crossbow arrows kill the following enemy troops!"

On his left was Huang Chun and on his right was Yan Baoyu. Under the protection of the two masters, Shen An even had time to observe the battlefield and command the battle.

The following two hundred Song troops immediately slowed down and then began to circle from both sides.

"volley!"

Crossbow arrows can only exert their greatest power when fired in volley.

The Mangshan army was fighting in the front, and the crossbow arrows cut off the enemy's following troops. This is the situation on the battlefield at this moment.

Fighting at short range, killing with crossbow arrows at long range...

What kind of trick is this?

He Li felt that the Song army killed too methodically and too calmly.

If it were anyone else, he would naturally be sarcastic, but it was Shen An.

He took his remaining subordinates to prepare for reinforcements, but was intercepted on the periphery.

"Wait until you go back!"

The country soldier who intercepted them said seriously: "Don't disturb our army from killing the enemy."

He Li wanted to argue, saying that his subordinates were very powerful, but after seeing the Mangshan Army's assault, he was speechless.

The personal force of those rural soldiers was extremely tyrannical. One-on-one, those Xixia people were no match for them.

The key is that the cooperation between them is also very tight. Two or three people can kill their opponents with ease as if they are on an outing.

This is the God of Killing!

The leader of the God of Death has now penetrated the enemy army and is looking back.

"Wan Sheng!"

There was a human head on the long black knife. Shen An slowly drove the horse forward with a relaxed look.

Is this a battlefield?

But why would I feel excited?

He turned around and looked at his subordinates, remembering the tragedy many years later, and he couldn't help but feel proud in his heart.

I'm here and this won't happen.

He raised his sword and shouted: "Wan Sheng!"

"Wan Sheng!"

Killing an enemy general is the greatest honor. At this moment, Shen An's sword was picking people's heads. The cavalry behind him swarmed in, and the cheers shook the land.

This is a man’s world!

The remaining enemy cavalry looked panicked. They mustered up their last courage and began to gather.

The cavalry can only be effective if they gather together. This is an unchanging creed at all times and in all countries.

But Shen An said contemptuously: "Sabi! Send them back to their hometown with crossbow arrows!"

The dense crossbow arrows washed away the thin enemy cavalry array, but the remaining people continued to attack tenaciously.

"Very brave Xixia people."

Shen An admired, but said without hesitation: "Kill them!"

The cavalry charged violently, and when they separated again, the remaining fifty or so enemy cavalry began to flee.

The smoke in the distance has turned into black spots, and countless cavalry are approaching. They discovered the fighting here, so they sent thousands of people to help.

Shen An shouted enthusiastically: "Get some heads and bring some heads back!"

Song Jun quickly dismounted and beheaded, and He Li had the opportunity to approach Shen An at this moment.

After witnessing this fight, he who had originally been skeptical about Shen An's title as a famous general was now in a state of admiration.

"Wait for the order, the enemy is coming."

The enemy cavalry was approaching, but the Song army continued to harvest heads and collect horses. In He Li's view, it was taking a risk.

Shen An was observing the enemy army. Hearing this, he turned to look at him and said, "You have worked hard to find out the information. Go back."

He Li felt that he had been slighted, so he said: "Waiting for the imperial edict, the enemy has more than 40,000 cavalry."

This is a scout's ability to estimate the number of enemy troops.

Shen An smiled and said: "Very good, UU Kanshu www.uukanshu.net You have made a great contribution."

There are more than 40,000 cavalry, which is quite a lot, but the Song Dynasty gathered almost 10,000 cavalry for this battle, plus 60,000 infantry, and Shen An was not weak at all.

"Retreat! Retreat!"

When the enemy discovered what the Song army was doing, they immediately became furious and began to speed up.

Shen An laughed and quickly evacuated the battlefield with his men.

A large group of cavalry rushed over. After discovering that all the comrades on the ground had lost their heads, the general was so angry that he trembled all over and shouted angrily: "Chase them! Chase them to the end of the world!"

But the horn blew, and a message came for them to wait.

Li Liangzuo was surrounded by people and came here. Looking at the headless corpses on the ground, anger appeared on his young and majestic face, "How did you lose? Tell me!"

The third update is here, good night!
