The wheel on one side of the grain truck was removed and it was lying on its side outside.
The grain truck was filled with grain bags, which were now soaked in blood.
The Bian soldiers traveled south and north, and fought in the east and west. Their fighting will is beyond doubt.
At least, before they are afraid of you, they will not collapse so easily. It is not possible to destroy the psychological advantage that has been established for a long time overnight.
Li Lin was wearing heavy armor, and the long sword in his hand had already stabbed to death several Bian soldiers who tried to rush over.
There were piles of corpses outside the grain truck, and the following Bian soldiers could even step on the corpses and rush upward.
Dealing with infantry and dealing with cavalry seem to be two different things.
The Bian army launched a fierce offensive. More than ten soldiers rushed to the grain truck risking their lives, and rushed in against the long branches of the forest.
They brandished maces, hammers and other blunt weapons, causing screams wherever they passed.
Especially those Chinese soldiers, whose positions were a little loose and kept retreating.
"Those who take one step back will die!" Li Lin roared angrily, stepped forward, and stabbed the long sword into the abdomen of a Bian soldier. He couldn't pull it back for a while, so he simply didn't want it anymore and directly pulled out the Chashan Sword given to him by the General Office when he graduated.
He let go of the oncoming hammer, stepped forward, and thrust his sword straight into the enemy's throat.
"This thief is easy to break." He laughed.
After saying that, he met another person and stabbed him with his dagger before kicking out the corpse of the enemy soldier.
Seeing how brave he was, everyone's morale was greatly boosted and they stabilized their position. Even the trembling Chinese soldiers felt more reassured.
"I just killed three thieves, which is not enough. Who is willing to follow me?" After saying that, without waiting for anyone else to respond, he picked up an iron mace left on the grain cart and rushed out.
Dozens of Tianxiong soldiers around him were infected and rushed out. There was a counterattack.
They were like a huge boulder crashing into the sea of Bian soldiers.
Enemies are everywhere around them, and there are weapons calling for them everywhere. The Bian soldiers are not the kind of rabble that disperses as soon as they charge. They dare to fight and fight for a while. Their counterattack warriors are like warriors under the sun.
Ice and snow generally melt slowly.
The dagger had been curled, and Li Lin thrust it into the body of a Bian soldier.
The man was so mad with pain that he hugged Li Lin from the waist, and both of them rolled to the ground.
Inserting eyes, biting with teeth, and beating with fists, both sides fought to the death with all their strength.
Dai Siyuan watched from afar.
After the grain truck was surrounded, the area was actually not too big, and it was covered with grain bags, making it not that convenient to attack.
The most critical thing is that the Bian army was unable to take advantage of its numerical advantage and put more people into the front line to fight.
The Xia thieves should also be divided into two groups, with different colors of military uniforms.
Those in brown military uniforms were serious Xia soldiers, who were relatively brave. One military academy officer in particular actually led a counterattack and rushed forward for more than ten steps. He was truly a warrior.
But he was probably dead. Surrounded by so many people and greeted by so many weapons, there was no way he could survive.
"It's not that troublesome to fight Xuzhou soldiers." Dai Siyuan punched the saddle beside him bitterly and said angrily.
The ground suddenly shook, and faint shouts could be heard.
Dai Siyuan was startled, got on his horse and looked back.
There is the majestic city wall of Mianchi County. Outside the city wall, there is smoke and dust raised by a large group of cavalry.
The smoke was getting closer and closer, and it was obvious that the cavalry was rushing towards this place at high speed.
My heart went cold subconsciously!
He has been fighting for many years. Isn’t it clear what the situation is?
There are Xia cavalry hiding in Mianchi County, and they will rush out to take advantage.
Damn it! I was chasing too fast. Everything I passed along the way, such as Xiashi Fort, was empty. I completely forgot to send someone to Mianchi County to check if there was any ambush.
The cavalry rushed closer and closer, and the noise became louder and louder. Except for those who were risking their lives and fighting on the front line and were highly nervous, everyone else noticed.
It looked like there were thousands riding on it!
They rushed down the post road, crossed the field, and came from both sides.
The fifty men who stayed behind to guard the mules were immediately dispersed.
Dai Siyuan made a prompt decision and ordered the people in the back row to quickly move over and form a formation, trying to block the cavalry with their spears.
But it's too late!
It was only a few miles away. Thousands of horsemen came at high speed and immediately scattered all those who stood in their way.
"General, hurry up!" A soldier shouted anxiously as he hitched the spare horse to the saddle of Dai Siyuan's war horse.
At this point, Dai Siyuan did not show any pretense. He jumped on his horse and drove away with some of the cavalry, abandoning the infantry who were still fighting on the ground.
The war horses neighed and the horses were swept.
Three thousand infantrymen of the Bian army were attacked from both sides and were in chaos on the spot.
Some people call for friends, form formations to stop the enemy, and try to fight against the trapped beasts.
Some people were so bold that they stabbed out with a spear and even dared to kill the cavalry with their feet.
Some people looked crazy, bent their bows and fired continuously, shouting to kill someone who was behind them.
But more people collapsed immediately.
Thousands of cavalrymen used the autumn wind to sweep away the fallen leaves, driving the Bian army's infantry to pieces.
The Xia army's infantrymen, who were struggling to resist in the grain cart formation, were greatly boosted in morale. They opened the cart barriers one after another and fought their way out.
Li Lin was pulled up. Gu
His head and face were covered with blood, and his whole body was exhausted.
The index finger of his left hand was bitten off, and the fist of his right hand was clenched tightly. The flesh and blood were blurred, and the bones were almost visible.
Xu Hao rode by and glanced at it casually, but quickly stopped.
"From the Tianxiong Army?" he asked.
Li Lin no longer had the energy to speak, so she just nodded slightly.
"Can we still fight?" Xu Hao asked.
"Yes!" Li Lin pushed away the man who was supporting him, staggered a few steps, and stood there firmly.
"How magnificent!" Xu Hao laughed and said, "Follow me to kill the enemy!"
Li Lin bent down to find his sword, and You Paoze helped him pull it out and handed it over.
Everyone hugged him and walked together, the golden sunshine was shining down, but there were only about ten people, but there was an unstoppable momentum, as if a god descended from the earth.
First use the bow and arrow to kill the thief, then use the sword and sword again, and then use the sword to beat the enemy with fists. With this fighting will, who can stop him?
The battle ended quickly.
Of the three thousand Bian troops, nearly two thousand were captured. Also "captured" were more than two thousand horses and mules.
In fact, many of them have dispersed, and now the cavalry is dispatching manpower to collect them.
Xu Hao quickly returned and failed to catch the thief. He was very sorry.
He must be quite famous among the Bian army now. He broke through two formations in a row. The first formation was even more devastating, cutting off the generals and returning. This is the most recognized by the warriors, even more so than this ambush.
Even more convincing.
However, if anyone thinks that he is the kind of brainless and hot-blooded warrior, they are wrong. In fact, he still has a lot of ideas in fighting.
When Zhang Yanshou was killed in formation, he first had his men move around on the flanks to disrupt the formation, then charged forward with fifty cavalry, taking advantage of the thief's general state of mind to succeed in one fell swoop.
If Zhang Yanshou is given another chance and both sides fight hard, it's hard to say what the outcome will be.
But if the head falls off, it will not grow back, and Zhang Yanshou will not have the chance to do it again. This is the cruelty of the battlefield.
"After destroying this group of pursuers, will the Bian thieves dare to come again?" Xu Hao looked at the prisoners all over the ground, and he was a little eager to try. After resting his horse, he simply went to the Bian army camp to see if there was any chance.
Mix it some more.
However, Li Tangbin, the envoy to the queen's palace, is a serious person. He will not give people any ambiguity when giving orders and gives them room to express themselves freely. Without permission, Xu Hao does not want to offend this person, just for his own pleasure.
After cleaning the battlefield, the sergeants were divided into several groups. Some guarded the prisoners, some took care of the wounded, and some packed the cars.
The cavalry men watched from a distance, showing no intention of helping.
But this is what it should be.
This battle is over, but who knows when the next battle will come?
Thousands of cavalrymen have not yet dared to take off their armor, just to prevent any more Bian soldiers from suddenly coming over and being caught off guard.
Facing the sunset on the horizon, thousands of horsemen marched on the captives, taking grain carts, mules, and captives with them, and embarked on the return journey.
Li Lin was lying on a grain truck, feeling a little groggy.
Xu Hao galloped over and said, "Don't die."
Li Lin: "..."
Xu Hao added: "If you survive, I will give you this mount."
Li Lin's face became livelier and she glanced at the war horse under Xu Hao's crotch. It was indeed quite impressive.
"I have given away a horse once in my life, and this is the second time."
"Who was it the first time?" Li Lin didn't have the strength to speak, but couldn't help it, so she asked softly.
"That man's name is Wang Jiao. He's better than you. You need to practice more." After saying that, Xu Hao laughed and urged his horse away.
Li Lin grinned.w
After killing the enemy's pursuing troops, this war is probably coming to an end, right?
All the main forces have been withdrawn, and the troops stationed in Shaanxi and Guo are unprecedentedly strong. Will the Bian army still dare to come?
…
The Bian army was indeed "reluctant" to come, not because they were afraid of death, but because they were too weak to fight.
The Xuanwu Army, which always likes to ambush others, was ambushed by the Xia Army again and again, except for Ge Congzhou's success once, causing more than 10,000 casualties.
On December 15th of the second year of Dashun, Zhang Quanyi, the envoy of the Youguo Army, Henan Yin, formally wrote to Zhu Quanzhong: The Zhou Dynasty is located on three rivers, and the four dangers are solid. Luoyang is adjacent to Mang Mountain in the north, bounded by large rivers outside, and Yi in the south.
Que, Songshan Mountain. From the west to the east, it spans several counties. The Jindu of the Beihe River and the Xingkou of the Nanshan Mountain are important defensive areas for entry and exit. Therefore, please build these passes and garrison elite troops.
In short, it is to use the mountainous terrain of Henan Prefecture to reorganize the pass system and restrict the Xia army's eastward exit.
The western half of Henan Prefecture has basically been abandoned. It is not about giving up the land, but giving up the cultivation there. Anyway, there are only more than 100,000 people left in Henan Prefecture now.
From now on, that area will be an important military area. Taking advantage of the dangerous terrain, we will set up passes and garrison elite soldiers and generals to prevent Xia thieves from going eastward.
Or even if the east is out, they can close the door and beat the dog.
Quan Zhong pondered undecided.
This is a difficult choice and means a change in strategic focus.
Tens of thousands of troops have been stationed in Henan Prefecture all year round. It seems to be okay for now and will not affect his attack on Erzhu and Shipu. But in the future, if there are changes in other directions, will mobile troops still be available?
The four prefectures of Xuanwu were wealthy. During the Yuanhe period, they could easily raise an army of 100,000 people, and they could also pay the two towns of Heyang and Zhaoyi. Henan as a whole had an army of 380,000 people at that time, and there was still room for supply to the court in large quantities.
Wealth.
But the problem is, it won’t be the same as it was back then!
