Under Brother Weiming Xiu, there are the so-called One Bear, Two Tigers, and Three Wolves, which are actually the six most important generals under his command. The so-called One Bear is Weiming Tiger Bear, the number one general under Brother Weiming Xiu.
The so-called two tigers are Zhang Jiang and Wei Ming Shouzhong, and the three wolves are Wei Mingtai, Zhang Yuan and Li Qiyun. These three are also famous warriors in Xixia. Among them, Zhang Yuan is a Han and Wei Ming
Tai and Li Qiyun are both party members.
Brother Wei Mingxiu said to Zhang Jiang: "Zhang Jiang, go down immediately and gather all the people in our jurisdiction. The old and weak women will help transport grain, grass and various war equipment and supplies, and the young and strong men will help us fight.
!Now that we are faced with a formidable enemy, all the people of Daxia should share the same hatred and resist foreign humiliation!"
Zhang Jiang bowed and agreed, and then asked: "What if someone refuses to obey?" Brother Wei Mingxiu said coldly: "If you refuse to obey, it is betrayal and you will be killed without mercy!" Zhang Jiang responded and left quickly.
.
Brother Wei Mingxiu looked at a simple-looking general and said, "Wei Mingtai, rush to Langshan Fortress, defend carefully, and report the situation at any time!" It turns out that the honest-looking general is one of the three wolves under Brother Weimingxiu's command.
Wei Mingtai of Yi. Wei Mingtai bowed to accept the promise and left in a hurry.
The so-called Langshan Fortress is located at the eastern foot of Langshan Mountain on the north bank of the Yellow River's north flow. It is adjacent to Langshan Mountain to the north and the Yellow River to the south. It is the most important strategic fortress on the north side of the Yellow River.
Brother Wei Mingxiu's eyes moved to the two remaining generals. Needless to say, those two must be the two remaining generals among the three wolves, Zhang Yuan and Li Qiyun. Zhang Yuan was a short but very fierce man.
Li Qiyun is a man, and Li Qiyun is tall, fierce, and gives people a very impulsive feeling. Brother Weimingxiu said: "You go back to the military camp and urge the soldiers to be ready to go to war at any time!" The two generals clasped their fists in agreement and left quickly.
Already.
Brother Wei Mingxiu stood up, walked to the sheepskin map, looked at the map and began to think.
At this moment, a soldier led a veteran Imperial Guards officer and ran in. The soldier put his right hand on his chest and bowed in salute: "General, your Majesty has sent a messenger." He stepped aside.
Brother Wei Mingxiu turned around and saw the Forbidden Army officer coming forward, holding a letter in both hands, bowing and saying: "General, this is a letter written by His Majesty to you!" Brother Wei Mingxiu said to the soldiers.
With a look, the latter understood and immediately stepped forward to take the letter and forwarded it to Brother Weimingxiu. Brother Weimingxiu picked up the letter and saw seven beautiful and dignified characters written on the envelope: "Brother Xiu personally writes this."
, Brother Weimingxiu knew without looking at the letter inside that it must be an autographed letter from His Majesty. He opened the envelope, took out the letter paper, unfolded it and read it, with a look of great joy on his face, and laughed loudly: "Okay.
Okay, great! I was still worried at first, but I didn’t expect the good news to come out so soon!”
He looked at the Forbidden Army officer and asked: "Since the situation in the south is improving, does your Majesty plan to send reinforcements to me?" The officer bowed and said: "Your Majesty wants me to tell the general that 10,000 elites and 30,000 civilian troops are on the way.
On the way, the general must guard Wulahai City and not make any mistakes!"
Brother Wei Mingxiu said with a smile: "You go back and tell your majesty that I will guard Wulahai City and everything will be absolutely foolproof!" The officer bowed and agreed, and then said: "If the general has no other instructions, I will go back and resume my duties."
!" Brother Wei Mingxiu said, "Go ahead!" The officer bowed again and left quickly.
Brother Wei Mingxiu turned around, looked at the map, and thought in his mind: "I originally had 30,000 troops. If I add 10,000 elite soldiers and 30,000 militiamen, it will be 70,000 troops. Plus the local mobilized people,
We can bring out hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses. This place is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Even though Yan Yun has an army of more than 200,000, he can't even hope to succeed!" At this thought, he couldn't help but be filled with confidence.
Zhang Jiang sent his officers to various settlements around Wulahai City to gather the people. There were noisy scenes everywhere. Men, women, old people and children, whether willing or unwilling, were all gathering at Wulahai City. Some people looked very excited and eager to try.
However, more people looked sad, and some kept crying.
At the same time, Weiming Huxiong led his 5,000 elite troops to the east ferry, joined the 1,000 original defenders at the ferry, and prepared for the battle. The soldiers looked at the east of the river with excitement and fear.
, a young soldier looked at Hedong and couldn't help but said: "I always hear people say how powerful the Yanyun Army is. I really want to see if they are as powerful as the legend!" His tone and expression were full of challenge. Beside
An old soldier sighed, "It's better not to see him, that's not a good thing!" The young soldier looked at him with disdain and said angrily: "You are such a waste, you haven't even seen Yan Yunjun yet, but you are actually
I started to get scared! Huh, I’m not afraid of them. Aren’t they all raised by my parents? I don’t believe I can’t defeat them!”
The old soldier said angrily: "Young people don't know the heights of the world. If Yan Yun's army is so easy to deal with, our army will not be defeated one after another!" The young soldier said angrily: "That's their trick, not their real ability!"
The old soldier smiled bitterly and shook his head. The young soldier ignored him. In his opinion, there was no need to talk to him about that kind of coward and turned to talk to other soldiers.
At this moment, someone suddenly shouted: "The enemy is coming!" Everyone quickly looked towards the east of the river, and saw that under the scorching sun, the endless waves were slowly coming this way, with long smoke and dust, and flags.
The clouds surged, and the rumbling sound became louder and louder from far to near. Seeing the Yanyun Army's majestic appearance and rainbow-like momentum, the Xixia Army officers couldn't help showing a look of fear, and the young soldier who was talking nonsense couldn't help but feel in his heart.
He was so frightened that his face turned pale.
At this moment, someone pointed to the river and exclaimed: "There are them on the river too!" The soldiers looked towards the river again and saw countless large boats going upstream from the lower reaches and stopping before the intersection of the two rivers.
Before sunset, a joint camp stretching for more than ten miles was erected on the plain east of the river, and a huge water fortress was erected on the Yellow River next to it. The urgent news was passed to Wulahai City, and Weiming Xiu Ge, in view of the enemy's troops,
The situation was so great that Marshal Zhang sent five thousand cavalry to reinforce him. That night, another emergency report came, saying that Yan Yun's army had launched a fierce attack on the ferry. Although Brother Wei Mingxiu was full of confidence before, he couldn't help but feel worried at this moment.
At the same time, the fierce attack of the Yanyun Army continued. Thousands of the Yanyun Army crossed the river in large and small boats to attack fiercely. At this time, the bright moon was in the sky, illuminating the earth as if it were daytime. The Yellow River shone with fluorescent light and inserted into a huge river.
Jade Belt. The rockets launched by the armies of both sides flew across the Yellow River like fire rain. The scene was spectacular, with loud thumping noises, and water columns shot straight into the night sky. This was caused by the stones thrown by the Xixia army falling into the water.
There was a sudden movement, and suddenly there was a loud bang. It turned out to be a huge rock whizzing over and breaking the mast of a large ship. There were shouts on the shore, and the Xixia soldiers desperately fired arrows at the row of boats in the middle of the river.
Boom boom boom...! Amidst the huge roar, fire dragons suddenly danced wildly on the river. Before the Xixia army on the bank understood what was going on, they felt an extremely powerful storm sweeping over, and there was a deafening roar.
In the sound, dust flew up and flesh and blood flew everywhere! When the Xixia soldiers came to their senses, they were shocked to find that many of the Juma lying on the river bank in front of them had been destroyed, and many of their companions around them also died unexpectedly, with broken limbs and pieces scattered everywhere.
It was so tragic that everyone's heart could not help but tremble. The shore was extremely quiet for a while, and the shouts on the river seemed to be in another world.
Boom boom boom...! Another huge roar came from the river. The Xixia soldiers who had just experienced it were startled. Then the storm blew again. Amidst the shrill screams, many Xixia soldiers died unexpectedly.
The Xixia soldiers were frightened and retreated involuntarily.
Seeing this, Weiming Huxiong chopped down an officer who retreated with his sword, and shouted sternly: "Don't retreat! Don't retreat!" All the soldiers stepped forward with their swords drawn, and shouted: "Don't retreat! Don't retreat!"
While shouting, he slashed with his sword to kill those soldiers who still did not listen to the warning and retreated. The Xixia soldiers had no way to retreat, so they had no choice but to bite the bullet and shout, and continued to fight. They kept firing rockets and stones. The stones
If it hits a big ship, the damage to the big ship will be very considerable. However, the rockets were originally used by the Xixia army to burn down the enemy ships. However, when those rockets fell on the enemy ships, nothing happened as expected by the Xixia people.
The brilliance of most of the rockets only flickered a few times and then went out. They could not ignite the enemy ships at all, let alone the hulls of the enemy ships, and even the sails could not ignite. Seeing this situation, the Xixia people thought that Yan Yun's army had
What kind of magic is this? They are inevitably frightened, but without a better way, they can only keep launching rockets. In fact, the Xixia people don’t know that Yanyun’s big ships, both civilian and military ships, have been treated with fire protection, and the sails are all made of asbestos.
Made, it is impossible to ignite.
Yanyun's large ship stopped in the middle of the river and only bombarded the shore with artillery, while the speedboats and bamboo rafts passed through the gap between the big ships, surpassed the big ships and rushed towards the other bank in a swarm. The 'Fire Rain' was still there.
There were flying crisscrosses in the sky, artillery fire was still raging, stones were still falling into the water, causing splashes in the boss's body, and the Yanyun assault force was quickly approaching the other side.
Seeing this, Weiming Huxiong commanded his soldiers to change their targets and fire arrows at the rushing boats and rafts. Suddenly, the arrow rain turned and fell into the middle of the assault troops. He saw many Yanyun soldiers hit by arrows and fell into the river.
, however, the charging momentum of the assault troops did not weaken at all.
The soldiers of the Xixia Army resisted Yanyun's artillery fire and tried their best to block Yanyun's assault force. However, they saw that Yanyun's assault force continued to approach the river bank, while their own side suffered heavy casualties under the raging fire of the opponent's artillery.
Seeing that Yan Yun's army was about to land, Weiming Huxiong immediately ordered his soldiers to prepare for a counterattack. Yang Peng immediately stood on the river bank and looked at the fierce and magnificent battlefield ahead. Seeing that two thousand assault troops were about to land, he turned to ask around
Yang Jiumei: "Jiumei, which part of the assault force is it and who is the commander?" Yang Jiumei cupped her fists and said: "They are the sergeants of the first battalion under my little sister. The chief and deputy commanders are a pair of brothers. The elder brother is called Li Hu and the younger brother is called Li Bao.
." Yang Peng nodded and continued to watch the battle ahead.
I saw dozens or hundreds of wooden boats and bamboo rafts rushing into the shallow water on the shore. At this time, the artillery fire on the big ships had stopped bombarding. The accuracy of artillery shooting in this era was extremely poor. If the bombardment continued in this situation, it would be easy to cause accidental damage.
One of our own. A hail of arrows flew out from the opposite side, and many Yanyun soldiers who were rushing towards the shore fell down. Immediately, the shield bearer accelerated forward and formed a shield wall to advance forward. The other soldiers bent down and followed behind the shield bearer.
.
Another hail of arrows flew over and hit the shield with a crackling sound. Immediately, the shield bearers squatted down together, and Sergeant Yan Yun who was following behind raised the powerful crossbow that had been ready to fire. Only a loud roar was heard.
It seemed as if a strong wind had blown by, and all the soldiers of the Xixia Army on the opposite side fell down. The Xixia Army formation was in chaos. Two particularly strong generals swung their swords forward and shouted: "Charge!" Nearly two thousand soldiers fired fiercely.
With a shout, the Xixia army rushed towards the opposite side, like a flood breaking through a dike.
Seeing this, the Xixia army subconsciously shouted and rushed forward. In the blink of an eye, the troops from both sides collided violently, and then the sound of killing, shouting, and screams rang out, and a cold light shone like ripples of light.
Sparkling, reflecting the flying blood, soldiers on both sides continued to fall in a pool of blood. In just a moment, the fierce Yanyun army had the upper hand. After a fierce battle, the Xixia army was defeated and began to retreat.
At this moment, the sound of trumpets sounded loudly across the noisy battlefield. When the Xixia army heard the sound, they immediately dispersed to both sides, revealing an open space in front of them. General Yanyun suddenly saw that not far ahead,
Thousands of Xixia warriors were ready to charge. Li Hu was startled and immediately stopped and shouted at the top of his voice: "Stop the pursuit and form an array on the spot!" More than a thousand soldiers immediately gathered together, shield bearers
, the spearmen were outside, forming a hedgehog-like defensive front. The other sergeants were in the middle, putting down their swords and other weapons, taking off the crossbows on their backs, and quickly loading the arrows. Today's Yanyun Army and the armies of other countries
The equipment is completely different. It is not as detailed as the division of labor in the armies of other countries. Archers are archers and shield-bearers are shield-bearers. Every soldier in the Yanyun Army is equipped with long-range weapons such as bows and crossbows, as well as broadswords and spears.
With the melee weapons in it, everyone can attack from a distance or engage in close combat. From this point alone, the combat effectiveness of the Yanyun Army is stronger than that of the army of other countries.
Wuwuwu... With a burst of rapid horn sound, three thousand Xixia warriors shouted and charged. The ground trembled. Xixia warriors swept in like a sandstorm, with clanking iron hooves and murderous intent. The blood of every Xixia knight was thoroughly
It was boiling, and an impulse to flatten and crush the enemy lingered in the hearts of every soldier. This fierce fighting spirit was the foundation for Xixia to be founded and last for hundreds of years.
Swish, swish, swish..., the Xixia warriors fired arrows while flying, and the arrows fell into Yanyun's army. Many soldiers were hit by arrows and fell to the ground. Those who were seriously injured were dragged down by their comrades, while those who were not seriously injured had their arrows broken.
Zhan still stood where he was, staring coldly at the Xixia warriors who were approaching rapidly.
"Fire the arrow!" Li Hu roared at the top of his lungs. Following his roar, he heard a loud buzzing sound, and the rain of arrows set off a strong wind and roared away. He saw the rushing enemy cavalry flipping over on their backs, and their momentum was astonishing.
There was some confusion in the momentum of the attack. However, the Xixia War Cavalry did not flinch at all and continued to rush forward with crazy shouts.
"Get ready for battle!!" Li Hu roared. The shield hand took a bow position and held the shield with both hands. The spearman held the spear tightly. The tip of the spear was pointed at the wave of cavalry that was about to hit. The rumble of horse hooves and tearing.
The heartbreaking shouting has already made the eardrums numb.
In the blink of an eye, the 'wave' came, and there was only a violent crash. The wave of war cavalry violently hit Yanyun's defense line. The shield hand was knocked away by the huge force, and the long gun clicked suddenly.
It collapsed, and the Xixia warriors flipped on their backs. Many knights even flew off their horses and fell into the middle of Yanyun's army formation. Before they had time to get up, they were killed by countless falling swords and spears.
A gap was opened in the defense line, and Xixia war cavalry swarmed in through the gap.
Seeing that the defense line was breached, Li Hu shouted loudly: "Star scattering formation!!" The soldiers roared and ignored the formation. Everyone rushed to the middle of the enemy cavalry with swords and guns, slashing the horse's hooves with their long swords and poking the knights with their spears.
Seeing the Xixia cavalrymen flipping on their backs, the Xixia cavalrymen also went crazy, urging their horses to charge with all their strength, waving their scimitars desperately, and Yanyun warriors fell into a pool of blood one by one.
Weiming Huxiong was very frightened when he saw that his cavalry had broken through the enemy's battle formation but the enemy was still counterattacking wildly. He immediately ordered all the infantry to attack and be sure to annihilate Yan Yun's assault force.
The situation of more than a thousand Yanyun infantry facing three thousand Xixia war cavalry was already unfavorable. At this time, countless Xixia infantry attacked from all directions, and the situation immediately became precarious. Although the Yanyun soldiers were fighting desperately and even perishing with the enemy, they
Nothing can change the situation, there are too many enemies.
Weiming Huxiong looked at the battlefield with a ferocious smile on his face.
Boom, boom, boom... a thunderous noise suddenly came from the north. Weiming Huxiong was stunned, and hurriedly turned his head to look towards the north. Under the silver moonlight, he saw a black wave composed of countless fierce warriors rushing.
Coming. Weiming Huxiong was shocked and shouted in disbelief: "How, how is it possible?" He was too careless and paid attention to the ferry side. He did not expect that while Yan Yun's army was attacking in front of the ferry,
A force secretly built a pontoon bridge more than 70 miles upstream, and 10,000 warriors immediately crossed the Yellow River.
Weiming Huxiong immediately ordered the fighting cavalry to withdraw to stop the enemy. The remaining infantry continued to besiege Li Hu's Yanyun infantry unit. However, due to the sudden appearance of the Yanyun cavalry on the flank, the Xixia soldiers
The morale of the army was in turmoil, so they were not able to keep their composure. Facing nearly a thousand Yanyun infantry, the five or six thousand infantry troops not only failed to gain any advantage, but were defeated by the fierce counterattack of the Yanyun infantry.
On the other side, the Xixia war cavalry met the Yanyun war cavalry. The Yanyun war cavalry was as powerful as a rainbow and rushed forward. In an instant, the Xixia war cavalry was smashed into pieces and defeated. Seeing this scene, the Xixia infantry was greatly frightened.
They all turned around and fled, only to see the Xixia army running westward in the wilderness on the west bank of the Yellow River, and the Yanyun army chasing and killing them bravely. In such a situation, even if Sun Wu was resurrected and Bai Qi was born, I'm afraid there would be no way to save him!...
Brother Xiu, Weiming, was worried about the battle situation on the other side of the ferry. He personally led a thousand warriors to leave Wulahai City and rushed to the ferry. Unexpectedly, less than twenty miles away from Wulahai City, he heard the rumble of horse hoofs in front of him. Weiming
Brother Xiu and his party stopped. Brother Weiming, Brother Xiu, stood on his horse and looked into the distance. Then in the moonlight, he saw hundreds of horsemen rushing towards this direction. Then he saw that the wave was surging behind those hundreds of horsemen.
It was a torrent of thousands of cavalry.
Brother Wei Mingxiu's expression changed. He knew that his cavalry in the direction of the ferry only had 3,000 people. Such a large cavalry could never be his own war cavalry. He quickly turned to an officer beside him and ordered: "Go back to Wulahai City immediately.
, the four gates are ordered to be closed tightly. No one is allowed to open the city gate without my order!" The officer also felt the urgency of the situation. After hearing the order, he quickly agreed, turned his horse's head, and ran towards Wulahai City.
After a while, the hundreds of war cavalry rushed in front of them. At this time, Brother Weimingxiu saw clearly that they were his own cavalry. The two leading ones were Weiming Huxiong and Zhang Yuan. Everyone was panting and shocked.
They looked determined, and many of them were covered in blood and stab wounds. They had obviously just experienced a fierce battle. When Weiming Huxiong saw brother Weiming Xiu, he shouted urgently: "Brother, leave quickly, Yan Yunjun is chasing us!"
Brother Wei Mingxiu originally had thoughts of what might happen, but after hearing these words, all those thoughts disappeared. The two parties merged into one and ran towards Wulahai City, with thunder rumbling behind them.
In hot pursuit.
Brother Weimingxiu looked back and saw that Yanyun's cavalry was two to three hundred steps away, and felt a little relieved. He turned back and glanced at Weiming Huxiong, full of questions and wanting to get an explanation from him, but
At this time, it was not the time for the pursuers to talk, so they could only bury these questions in their hearts for the time being, planning to ask them more carefully after returning to Wulahai City.
The two sides chased and ran, and soon they arrived at the foot of Wulahai City.
General Li Qiyuan, who was standing on the city gate tower, saw Brother Wei Mingxiu and others running towards him from a distance, and hurriedly shouted to him: "It's the general, open the city gate quickly!"
When the city gate captain heard the order, he immediately ordered his soldiers to open the city gate. At this time, Wei Mingxiu and others happened to rush to the city gate. Seeing the city gate open, they immediately ran in without stopping. At the same time, Wei Mingxiu and others rushed in.
Brother Mingxiu shouted: "Close the city gate quickly!" The soldiers quickly closed the city gate and lowered the latch. The thunderous noise was blocked outside the door. Then the huge noise disappeared.
Brother Weimingxiu and others rushed up to the city wall and looked outside the city. They saw nearly ten thousand Yanyun warriors standing two hundred steps outside the city. Under the moonlight, it seemed to be endless, revealing a forest that made people's hearts beat faster.
Cold vibe.
Suddenly, the general in front of the military formation waved his horse forward, and heard a roar like a tiger roaring and a wolf howling suddenly from outside the city, and then saw the Yanyun war cavalry coming like a tide. The Xixia army had just attacked
After being defeated for a while, the sudden arrival of Yan Yun's cavalry in large numbers also frightened and shaken the soldiers and civilians in the city. At this moment, when they suddenly saw Yan Yun's army attacking the city, they couldn't help but be frightened. Many people couldn't help but have the idea of escape.
What happened after all? Let’s look at the breakdown next time.
