Chen Qing rushed into the enemy group, as if entering an uninhabited area, stabbing forward and backward, slashing to the left and right. Thirty elite soldiers followed him, killing the enemy soldiers until they were pissed and crying.
Wherever he passed, corpses piled up, stumps and broken arms were thrown all the way, and blood pooled into a stream. The soldiers who had finally gathered together were killed by him in pieces.
Chen Qing's men were also extremely brave. Although Yang Zaixing did not kill as brutally as Chen Qing, the number of enemy soldiers he killed was no less than that of Chen Qing. He had a white horse and a silver spear, and his marksmanship was like a flying pear blossom. It looked pleasing to the eye, but the tip of the spear hit the target.
, extremely fast and ruthless, killing all enemy troops with one shot.
General Niu Gao was just the opposite. He was like a black giant spirit god, and his two maces weighing thirty kilograms each flew up and down. Wherever they passed, they broke the enemy's bones, tendons, and brains.
Niu Gao was known as the strongest man in the Qinzhou army. He could carry a load of five hundred kilograms up and down mountains, and could walk for dozens of miles effortlessly. Even Chen Qing was ashamed of himself. He originally used double whips, but under Chen Qing's suggestion
Changed to two maces.
In addition to fierce generals like Yang Zaixing and Niu Gao, Chen Qing also has a pair of black and white brothers, Liu Cui and Liu Qiong, one with fair skin and the other with dark skin. They are known as life-threatening and impermanent. They also use tiger-headed golden spears and have similar moves.
They are all brave generals who have won all three armies.
Four fierce generals, led by the demon Chen Qing, wreaked havoc in the Xixia army.
Although the Xixia Army is famous for its tenacity in combat and does not give up easily, the Baochuan Army garrison in particular is an elite force. It jointly attacked the Liao Dynasty with the Jin Army a few years ago and never failed in more than ten battles.
But today they stumbled into a big fight. In front of the Song army, which had an obvious advantage, they suffered extremely heavy casualties, with over 60% casualties.
At this time, twilight falls, and in the half-light and half-darkness, one can still distinguish between ourselves and the enemy.
Seeing that the defeat of his army was certain, Li Muyuan, the commander-in-chief of the Xixia Army, was really unwilling to give in. He wanted to find the commander-in-chief of the Song Army in an attempt to kill the commander-in-chief of the Song Army and make a comeback.
His eyes finally fell on Chen Qing, the most ruthless murderer. He killed no less than three hundred Xixia soldiers, and they all died horribly. This man was simply a demon on earth. He saw Chen Qing followed by thirty fierce soldiers.
One of the cavalrymen also held a big flag with the word "Chen" written on it. This was probably their general.
Li Muyuan drew an arrow, raised his bow, aimed at the side of Chen Qing's neck, and shot an arrow. The arrow hit the side silently, and a soldier shouted, "General, watch your back!"
Chen Qing also felt something piercing the air behind him. He turned his head suddenly, and the arrow grazed his neck, missing his life by just a hair.
When Li Muyuan saw that the opponent actually dodged the arrow, he turned his horse and ran away.
Chen Qing was furious. He turned around and stared at the enemy general. He placed Fang Tian's painted halberd across the saddle, took off his Dingyuan bow, galloped on his horse, drew an arrow from behind, opened his bow and shot an arrow at the enemy's neck.
, the speed of this arrow was much faster than that of the opponent, but Chen Qing judged that the enemy general would have to hide, so the direction was slightly to the right.
When Li Muyuan heard the sound of wind behind his head, he instinctively dodged to the right, 'Pfft!' The arrow hit the back of his neck, and the tip of the arrow shot out from his throat. Li Muyuan's body swayed, and he fell off his horse.
Chen Qing's soldiers had already rushed up and beheaded the enemy general with one blow. Then he saw the gold medal on the enemy general's waist. The soldiers casually tore it off and said, "General, this is the enemy general!"
Chen Qing nodded, "Use someone else's head to show off!"
Several soldiers used their spears to pick up Li Muyuan's head and ran away shouting: "The enemy general is dead! The enemy general is dead!"
The morale of the Song army was greatly boosted, and the offensive became more and more sharp. The Xixia army could no longer support it and suddenly collapsed. They abandoned their helmets and armor and fled towards the county seat desperately.
Chen Qing issued a kill order, and the Song army chased after him. The more than a thousand Xixia Army soldiers who fled became less and less, and they ran less than ten miles. The last Xixia Army centurion was shot by Yang Zaixing and fell off his horse.
The Xixia army was completely destroyed.
The war was over. All 3,000 Xixia soldiers died in the battle, and no one survived. However, the Song soldiers also paid the price of more than 800 casualties, with more than 500 killed in battle alone.
The miles-long battlefield was littered with dead bodies and rivers of blood. The soldiers lined up the corpses of the fallen Song soldiers and registered their names, while the injured soldiers were being bandaged and treated. There were also soldiers cleaning the battlefield and peeling off enemy soldiers.
After putting on armor, the bodies were piled up and burned.
At this time, Niu Gao brought more than a thousand Han slaves up, and the ropes they were tied to were cut. They witnessed this bloody battle from a distance. Many people were so excited that they wanted to go into battle in person, but another
On the other hand, they were rescued by the Song Army and pulled back from the road of death.
The leader was a strong man about thirty years old. He was brought to Chen Qing and knelt down on one knee and burst into tears.
Chen Qing comforted him with a few words, and the strong man wiped away his tears and said: "The humble position is called Cheng Ju. He is the commander of the Jingyuan Army. Liu Qi's subordinates control Li Yanqi's generals. After the Battle of Fuping, the Xixia Army attacked Huanzhou, and Li Yanqi left the army behind.
After fleeing to Weizhou, more than 3,000 of us became prisoners of war of the Xixia Army and were escorted here to mine salt."
Cheng Ju choked up and couldn't speak. Chen Qing gave the soldier some color, and the soldier gave him a water hyacinth. Cheng Ju drank a few sips of water to stabilize his mood, and continued: "In just over a year,
Two thousand brothers were tortured to death. The remaining more than a thousand of us could not bear the torture, so we decided to riot and flee tonight. Unfortunately, the news leaked, and the supervisor notified the Xixia Army. We were all arrested, taken back to the city, and beheaded.
, if the general hadn’t arrived, none of us would have survived.”
Chen Qing nodded, "I was originally a subordinate of Wang Yan of the Eight-Character Army, but now I am the Qinzhou Zhizhi Envoy. The Song Army you see is the Qinzhou Army. Go and tell your brothers that your suffering is over and you can go home."
Cheng Ju saluted and ran back to tell the other slaves of the Song army. Everyone cheered.
Niu Gao said to Chen Qing: "Zhizong, if they go back like this, they will definitely be caught by the puppet Qi army. Why don't you come with me and let them go home after the war has calmed down."
Chen Qing nodded, "Go and tell them and comfort them."
Seeing that the battlefield was almost cleared, Chen Qing ordered the entire army to assemble and head to Baochuan County.
Zheng Ping has taken control of the entire city. Although the main enemy forces rushed to Yanze, a small number of Xixia troops, about 200 people, were still left in the city, mainly responsible for guarding the warehouses.
There were also more than a dozen soldiers guarding the city gate. The soldiers guarding the city gate were killed by Hu Yanlei's men, but Zheng Ping led his troops to fight for nearly half an hour to rob the warehouse before killing all the defenders.
Although Zheng Ping's men also suffered dozens of casualties, more than a dozen warehouses were saved, and none of them caught fire. The main reason was that the Xixia soldiers guarding the warehouses were not allowed to carry fire, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.
"Control, the harvest this time is so rich!"
As soon as he saw Chen Qing, Zheng Ping couldn't help but smile and said: "Control, what a great harvest!"
Chen Qing raised his eyebrows, "Do you have any kerosene and gunpowder?"
"Everything is there!"
"How much food is there?"
"There are at least 60,000 shi of food, more than 200,000 dans of fodder, a large amount of copper coins and silver, which should be the salary of the Xixia army, as well as armor, weapons, medicinal materials, and a large trebuchet. I even captured a trebuchet.
There are about a thousand camels in the camel team, and they are preparing to carry five thousand shi of grain to Deshun Prefecture."
"Go and have a look!"
At a time when there is a severe shortage of food supplies, Baochuan County's harvest was a bit beyond Chen Qing's expectations.
Chen Qing followed Zheng Ping to the warehouse group. The warehouse group was actually located outside the city, but a high fence was built around it. It could be seen that the warehouse group was newly built and could not be more than two years old.
From the construction of the warehouse group, Chen Qing realized the Xixia court's view of the current situation. The Xixia court no longer considered the Song army a threat, so they dared to build the warehouse group outside the city. They believed that the Song army would never appear.
In Xinhuizhou.
Moreover, dozens of warehouses were actually built, which shows the ambition of the Xixia people. They probably wanted to use Baochuan County as a logistics center and cannibalize the entire Xihe Road and Qinfeng Road.
As for the number of troops in Baochuan County, which is only 3,000, it shows that the warehouse construction is far from being in place. Now there is only a small amount of food supplies. The 3,000 soldiers in the city are only responsible for guarding the salt marsh.
Speaking of Yanze, Chen Qing suddenly thought that Yang Zaixing led 500 soldiers to Yanze. There was no news at all, so there wouldn't be any accidents!
"Wang Hao!"
"The general is here!" Wang Hao, Zheng Ping's deputy commander, stepped out in one step.
Chen Qing said to him: "You lead five hundred cavalry to Yanze to meet General Yang. Go now!"
"I humbly obey orders!"
Wang Hao turned around and led the troops, and then Chen Qing walked into the first granary.
