Chapter 677: The thunder and thunder rumble, the mighty wind rises (3)

In June of the second year of Jingping, Wu Dynasty, the situation in the world was temporarily stable and resumption.

After the Jurchens captured Bianliang and plundered a large number of slaves and resources, they were digesting and summarizing these resources. Zhang Bangchang, the emperor of the "Great Chu" who was forced to take office by the Jurchens, did not dare to covet the position of emperor. After the Jurchens left, they abandoned Bianliang and went south with a large number of court officials, and wanted to choose the remaining royal family of the Wu Dynasty as the new emperor.

The departure of the Jurchens did not calm down the situation in the north, and the north of the Yellow River was already in turmoil at this time. Many Wu Dynasty people, who noticed that the situation was wrong, began to migrate south with their families, slightly slowing down the ripe wheat.

As for the many large households north of the Yellow River, those who can walk and those who cannot walk begin to plan and plan for the future. Some of them collude with the surrounding army, while others begin to support force and build private troops to save the nation. Among them, those who are promising private ownership and public are mostly out of helplessness. A stream of local forces of this kind will gradually take shape on the northern land when the court turns a blind eye.

Anyone can see that since the Jurchens went south twice and even captured Bianliang, the Wu Dynasty no longer had substantial control in this area south of Yanmen Pass and north of the Yellow River. They may be able to control the words for a while, but when the Jurchens came, the courage and hearts of this area were broken, and there was no possibility of persistence.

The wheat is about to be harvested, and the rice is almost over. The emperor who is about to come to power has become the new expectation of the people. After the Wu Dynasty experienced such great shame, I hope that he could select talents and appoint talents, work hard to govern, and revitalize the national system. After Cai Jing and Tong Guan and other forces who had been entrenched in the court for many years, the remaining Wu Dynasty did have the possibility and space for revitalization. A large number of scholars and folk warriors began to work again, hoping to make contributions from the dragon and show their ambitions. Many people who were originally living in seclusion had even come out to the mountains, hoping to offer suggestions to revitalize the Wu Dynasty.

During this period, there were about two directions that people chose. One was Yingtian Prefecture east of Bianliang, and the other was Jiangning on the south bank of the Yangtze River.

At this time, after the rampage of the Jurchens, the original Wu Dynasty capital Bianliang was already in a mess. The city walls were destroyed and a large number of fortifications were destroyed. In fact, the Jurchens left in April because there were too many dead people in Bianliang and the epidemic had begun to appear. This ancient city is no longer suitable for capital. Some officials in the north wanted to rebuild the court as the capital of the Wu Dynasty. On the other hand, King Kang Zhou Yong, who was about to ascend the throne to the emperor, originally lived in Jiangning Mansion, and where the core of the new dynasty would be placed, now everyone is watching.

This vast world. The Wu Dynasty and the Jin Kingdom are two sides in the center of today. Ambitious and powerful people are rushing to the next change in the situation, watching the re-game between the two major powers, and the people are looking forward to a longer peace in this slightly peaceful crack. On the edge of not being paid attention to by the mainstream, a battle is underway.

Northwest, Qingzhou, Dongzhiyuan. The oldest source of Chinese agricultural civilization is endless. I have to fly like thunder when reading books.

On a cloudy day, the iron-armored cavalry charged forward like a huge wall!

Pingshan Iron Harrier.

One of the most terrifying heavy cavalry in history. The foundation of the establishment of the Western Xia Dynasty. The heavy cavalry with a total of about 3,000 people and horses were all wearing iron armor. Since the founding of this heavy cavalry by Li Yuanhao, King of Western Xia, it symbolizes not only the strongest force in Western Xia, but also the nobles and traditional symbols of the Dangxiang clan. Three thousand iron armors are passed down by fathers and sons and grandchildren. They have been passed down from generation to generation, and they are nobles, officers, and the foundation of the country.

For the big leader Mei Le, who commanded Tie Harrier, the battle in front of him was not the most difficult formation that Tie Harrier encountered. It was just an ordinary confrontation. The bandit army that came out of the mountains angered Li Ganshun. More than 70,000 people in the Xixia camp had already begun to advance eastward, but they did not come for this army. After the loss of Yanzhou, the senior management of Xixia had to give up the plan to advance west immediately. At the important moment of wheat harvesting, they stabilized the results of their stomachs in the rear and avoided being picked by the Zhe family army who were hiding beside them.

Before this, Xixia had been suppressed by the Zong family for twenty years. Li Ganshun was able to expand the situation in the northwest in one battle, and Xixia had a faint momentum of revival. However, the momentum was only halfway through, and someone stabbed such a knife from the rear. The anger in Li Ganshun's heart was imagined.

Over the years, due to the combat power of Iron Harrier, the cavalry of Xixia has been more than 3,000, but the real elites are still the aristocratic team as the core of Iron Harrier. Li Ganshun sent Meile out to set the chaos in the rear in a battle, which made many young people afraid to cause trouble. Since leaving the Xixia camp, Meile led the cavalry under her command without any delay and rushed to Yanzhou.

On the morning of June 23, the two armies met on the edge of Dong Zhiyuan.

Whether it was the cavalry or the oncoming black flag army, they did not diminish. At the end of the field of view, the two armies could see the other side extending like a black line. The sky was gloomy and the flags were flying. The scouts Qingqi released had already experienced several battles before they saw the opponent's main force. After the defeat in Yanzhou, Tie Yaozi traveled eastward and encountered all the defeated soldiers from the east. They also knew that the army of ten thousand people coming out of the mountains was an absolute enemy of bandits.

This perception did not have much impact on the generals of Iron Harrier. I realized that the other party was bravely coming to this side. Apart from saying boldly, it could only be said that this army was confused by the successive victory. In order to avoid the other party tampering with each other, the sister ordered the whole army to go around for five miles, turn one direction, and then cushion the other party.

I saw that the black flag army was in a tight array, with long spears in front of them standing in front, and a row of soldiers in front held the giant blade of the horse and walked towards the iron kite step by step, with neat steps as if stepping on a person's heartbeat.

When the two armies face off like this, apart from charging, as generals, there are not many choices at the very least. Iron Harrier especially has no choice.

Many things are decided, and often don’t give people too much time. Everything in the past few days is fast-paced. The black flag army is in an extremely fast pace, and the fighting is in an extremely fast pace, and the Meile’s attack is in an extremely fast pace. The encounter between the two sides is also falling into this rhythm. The other party set off the attacking formation without hesitation, and his morale is high. Iron Harrier, as a heavy cavalry, faces an array of mainly infantry on the terrain of Dongzhiyuan. If they choose to hesitate, they will not have to fight in the future.

What's more, the Western Xia Iron Harrier's tactics have never been very particular. Once they encounter an enemy, they gather together and charge towards the opponent's formation. Without the terrain being harsh, no army can block the crushing of this heavy cavalry head-on.

The trumpets blown in the opponent's formation ignited the fuse first. Meile's eyes sternly and waved his hand to order. Then, the trumpets of charge sounded from the Western Xia army. Then the iron hooves ran, getting faster and faster, like a huge wall, and thousands of iron cavalry rolled up dust on the ground, and the sound of hooves roared, coming from the sea.

The front was about to step into an arrow. Meile vaguely saw the army on the other side running back in the back. He felt something was wrong. But at such a distance, if there was really a trap ahead, the iron kite did not have the ability to change the formation or directly rush over. But the other party turned around and his spirit was lost. As long as the distance passed, the other party would have to go through the past massacre. He was so whimsical that the army turned around and pushed the enemy out of the horse. He had seen it before, and often just died faster.

Something flew up in the sky and then fell down

Half an hour ago, the Black Flag Army.

Gao Lei walked forward while rubbing the tip of the spear with the stone in his hand. At this time, the spear was so sharp that it could reflect light.

Front, back, left and right, all of them were running companions. He handed the stone slabs in his hand to the fellow travelers next to him, and also removed the gun tip for convenience and waved it to polish it.

They all knew that in the near future, they would face the iron kite of Xixia.

"I'm in Yanzhou, killing three people." The sharpened bluestone intersected with the tip of the spear. There was a clear sound. The fellow traveler next to him rubbed the stone a few times, handed the stone to the person on the other side, and spoke to Gao Lei, "Do you think you can kill an Iron Harrier this time?"

"After Xia Village, have we been afraid of anyone?" Gao Lei lowered his head and said, his voice dull. At this time, his blood was moving all over his body, and he felt the sound of his mind and his vision tremble slightly. Running is purely instinct, and everyone in front, back, left and right is almost like this. It is impossible not to run.

Since they broke through Yanzhou once, what they had to face next was not a miscellaneous soldier, but this famous heavy cavalry. Everyone was nervous, but there was a sense of pride in their hearts: we might be able to really push this heavy cavalry over.

The feeling of facing the Jurchens outside Bianliang City was already indifferent. Moreover, there were people around them who were running away at that time. Even when facing the strongest army in the world, there was no idea how strong they were. After Xia Village, everyone probably felt a little proud in their hearts. When they broke Yanzhou this time, everyone was a little surprised. They could not have thought that they had reached this point of strength.

This kind of strong self-confidence was not blindly obtained by the bravery of the single, but because they all understood in Xiao Canghe's simple teaching that the strength of an army comes from the strength of everyone's joint efforts and the trust of each other in each other, so they are powerful. Now, when the results of Yanzhou are in front of them, they have begun to fantasize about how powerful the group they are in is.

Therefore, even if the next thing we have to face is the Iron Harrier, everyone was slightly nervous, but they rushed over with more enthusiasm and caution.

Look around, everyone is there!

Regarding the tactics, everyone has been repeatedly pondering under the leadership of the officers since three days ago. The cooperation on the battlefield has been basically done in Xiao Canghe's training. During the two or three days of marching, even the soldiers at the bottom of the Black Flag Army have chewed in their hearts dozens of possible situations.

When the army arrived, Gao Lei rushed forward as planned, and his position was on a row behind the sabre. Behind, the horses were winding, and the soldiers of the special forces regiment quickly got off the horse, opened the box, and began to arrange it. More people from behind rushed up and began to shrink the entire line.

Iron Harrier changed the direction of the attack, and Gao Lei and everyone ran and changed direction. Even with the deduction of changing formations, Gao Lei still held the spear in his hand tightly and made an impeccable posture facing the war horse.

"The situation on the battlefield is ever-changing. If there is a problem in the rear and the formation cannot be changed, can you, as the front line, still retreat? If the support provided by your companions behind you cannot defeat Iron Harrier, do you still have the confidence to face them? Are you relying on your companions or yourself!?"

This is something that the people above emphasized repeatedly during the deductions over the past few days. Everyone was mentally prepared and at the same time they were confident that there was no coward in this military formation. Even if the formation did not change, they were confident that they would pick the iron kite, because only by picking them was the only way out!

Standing in the second row, the huge military formation has taken shape, and the individual's existence is insignificant in the field of vision. In front of them, the iron cavalry flew over. The formations of thousands of iron cavalry stretched out to a hundred feet long, constantly accelerating, like a huge wall, shaking the field. The iron cavalry of the Western Xia is not a chain of horses, and they do not connect with each other with queries. However, on each iron cavalry, the war horses and the iron armor of the knights are stalked together. Under such a rush, even if the knight on the horse's back is dead, the war horses under their crotch will still carry bodies and follow the brigade to charge. This kind of rush is still so that it is difficult for the world to have troops to compete head-on.

Blood surging in his body as if burning, and the order to retreat came. He grabbed the spear, turned around and ran out with the queue, and something flew high above their heads.

The thing fell forward. Before the horses rushed over, the huge explosion flames rose up. When the cavalry rushed over, the flames had not been completely closed. An iron kite rushed through the explosion flames without any damage. Thousands of cavalry behind were shocked and several packages were still flying out of the sky. Gao Lei stood up again. When he turned around, the positions around him were already filled with long things. Among them, there were several round iron buckets, which were shot out at the sky at an elevation angle. The packages in the bucket were first shot out.

The second package fell into the horse team, followed by the third and fourth, and the huge air waves were striking. At that moment, the space seemed to be deforming. Gao Lei stood there with a spear in his hand and looked forward. He could not see anything, but someone behind him was shouting: "Go away! Go away! Go away." Gao Lei turned his head and then felt a loud noise coming. His head was stunned, his vision shaking, and he buzzed. When he looked forward again, his ears could no longer hear the sound.

More than one hundred elm cannons fired almost at the same time!

Opposite, when the first package fell and exploded, the sister in the military formation suddenly let go of her heart. Iron Harriers were not afraid of the firearms of Wu Chao, the iron armor on their bodies was not afraid of the explosion waves, and the horses that had been through the battle formation were not afraid of the sudden explosion. However, the next moment, a terrible thing happened.

Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom

Countless explosions sounded almost at the same moment, and came. On the huge wall that was hundreds of feet long, countless flowers bloomed, and the explosion of air waves, black smoke, storm of debris, mixed flesh and iron armor, in an instant, it expanded, rose, rose, and surged into a huge momentum, swallowing the entire front of the iron kite.

The first and second columns have been swallowed up, the third, fourth and fifth columns are still speeding in, and in a blink of an eye, they pounced on the huge wall. According to past experience, it is just a barrier of smoke and dust.

The ancient captain of the Iron Harrier rushed into the dim area. When his vision tightened, something hit his head. With a bang, he knocked away high and flew back. However, in a glance, it seemed like a broken hand with iron armor. Before he could react, something exploded behind him and the sound was swallowed by the air waves. He felt that the war horse under his crotch flew slightly up. This was something that shouldn't have happened.
