Yang Keshi took the lead and rushed over. More than a hundred cavalry roared and shouted, raised their swords and guns, followed behind, and rushed straight towards the Xia army while roaring.
I saw Yang Keshi waving his iron mace, hitting left and right. The Xia army cavalry in front were blown to pieces like leaves.
As the fight resumed, Yang Keshi struck a Xia army cavalry horse on the neck with an iron mace.
I saw that the war horse, with its thick neck bent at a strange angle, actually carried its owner, lifted its hooves off the ground, and flew several feet away.
After a while, Yang Keshi's body was stained red with blood, which was as eye-catching as the flying red flag behind him.
With him taking the lead, the Chi Qi Yi behind them all moved forward bravely, slashing with spears and knives, stabbing with spears and hammering, like a flood sweeping everything.
Wang Shunchen felt that his whole body was almost burned dry by the raging fire, and the excitement and excitement gathered in his chest were breaking through his skin and armor.
He roared and was about to rush forward with more than a dozen soldiers when he was held back by Zhao Si.
"General Shunchen, don't be reckless. They have all been trained and taught. They know their respective mission objectives and rules, and they also know how to cooperate with each other. If you don't understand these, rushing forward will not only not be able to help, but will also cause chaos."
Wang Shunchen pulled the reins, but he was unwilling to do so.
"Your Majesty, what should we do? We can't just watch this."
"You definitely can't just watch. Follow me. We'll shoot from behind to cover Keshi and them."
"As you command!"
Yang Keshi led a hundred cavalry and completely broke up the Xia army's formation with one charge. Wang Zhen and Gao Shixuan, who had gone around in a circle and came back, immediately launched an assault on the scattered Xia army.
The Xia army was unwilling to give up and fought back vigorously. They were still fierce and life-threatening, and their fighting power was not inferior to that of the past. However, they encountered the Red Cavalry Yi Cong.
These people were originally selected elites from tens of thousands of familiar Tibetan cavalry, and their fierce combat effectiveness was not inferior to that of the Xia army.
They were transferred to Kaifeng, where they received reorganization and training. In three months, in addition to improving their own riding and shooting skills, their tactical coordination improved by leaps and bounds.
Three people in one group, attack-cover-support. Three small groups and one small team, cooperate with each other. In addition, sign language, whistles and other communication and coordination means that outsiders do not understand but everyone understands, once they fight, it is like mercury pouring down the ground, advancing layer by layer, and everything is done in one go.
.
Combining combat power with tactics, and organized formations to break up scattered formations, Xia Jun suffered a huge loss in just one confrontation. The next step was for the Yi Cong troops to suppress Xia Jun.
Wang Shunchen, who was shooting arrows to cover the outside, felt relaxed and happy.
These cavalrymen who were personally trained by His Royal Highness King Jian showed a completely different spirit and combat effectiveness, almost as if they had been reborn.
What would happen if the Western Army could be taught by the King and the whole army would be completely transformed?
Thinking of this, Wang Shunchen trembled with excitement.
The battle was fierce and bloody, but the situation was clearly visible to the naked eye.
After a fierce battle, the Xia army left behind nearly two hundred corpses and wounded, with less than fifty riders remaining, who fled in panic.
"Your Majesty, this guy is the leader of the Xia army."
Yang Keshi pointed at a Xia Jun who was tied tightly but struggling desperately.
"What is he shouting about?" Zhao Si asked a Red Flag Yi Cong beside him. He was a Dangxiang member.
"Your Majesty, this man said that if the Empress Dowager Liang was still here, his colleagues in Dabao Village would have rushed out and killed us. He also said that if the new ruler of the country who was sitting in the Dragon Court had not issued a strict order, no one would
If you are going to attack arbitrarily and start a war without authorization, you will not bring out only this few people."
After Zhao Si heard this, his eyes were bright and clear.
"Clean the battlefield and evacuate as soon as possible!" He waved his hand.
Treating the wounded, gathering the horses, cutting off the heads, and tying up the prisoners, the process was neat and the movements were skillful, leaving Wang Shunchen stunned.
In less than a quarter of an hour, Zhao Si and his party left corpses all over the ground, as well as broken armor and weapons that were not uncommon, and left like a whirlwind, disappearing into the moonlight of the night.
The strong smell of blood scared away the nearby hares and voles, but attracted wild wolves, jackals and foxes. The cries of a few crows kicked off a bloody feast.
When they returned to Xiaoguan Walled City, their bodies were covered with blood and scars, but their faces were filled with triumph, Yang Keshi and others made the defenders look at them with a variety of emotions.
There are also nearly two hundred heads. The border troops who have been guarding the border villages for a long time can be seen at a glance. They are all fresh troops of the Xia Army, elite regular troops under the supervision of the Army Department. They are not stationed in the rear, farming and grazing at the same time.
Ordinary soldiers who are ready to fight at any time can compare.
There are more than twenty of them, and they look like the "Bubazi" composed of Xiang Qiang from the Hengshan Party. These elites can walk and ride, go up and down hillsides, enter and exit streams, are best able to reach high and far distances, and are good at walking with light feet.
They may not be as famous as the Iron Kites and the Qisheng Army, but they are extremely powerful when fighting in the mountains.
I heard from the Red Cavalry followers that they suddenly encountered these Xia troops on the way, and then made a prompt decision and adopted a series of tactics such as escaping to lure the enemy, turning back and firing quickly, outflanking on both wings, and breaking through the center to defeat them in one fell swoop.
However, due to the dark night and unfamiliar terrain, the Xia army was not completely wiped out.
Brag! The defenders of Xiaoguan Walled City almost blurted out. Are you kidding us?
Escape and lure the enemy? The tradition of our Song Army is to let go completely as soon as they run. The soldiers cannot see the generals, and the generals cannot find the soldiers. Even the gods descending from the earth cannot stop their determination to run to the end!
You actually dare to use your escape to lure the enemy deep into the enemy's territory, encircle and annihilate them? It's unbelievable!
No wonder the Xia army foolishly followed up and suffered a big loss. Not to mention that they didn't believe it, even we ourselves didn't believe that any Song army could use such "defying" tactics.
However, those dark heads showed that what the Red Flag followers said was not lies.
Behind Chiqi Yicong, Zhao Si walked over slowly.
He was wearing light armor, and the blood stains on it had turned black. It was also on his face, and the fingerprints of his smeared hands could still be clearly seen.
The defenders opened their mouths slightly and widened their eyes in disbelief.
Liu Fa, Zhong Jianzhong and others rushed to greet him and asked anxiously: "Your Majesty, are you not injured?"
"I got a bite on my arm, but it's not a big deal. I just scratched a little bit of skin. I've asked the medical officer to disinfect and bandage it." Zhao said nonchalantly.
"But I made a profit this time. I shot four people and three horses. Wang Shunchen!"
"The end is here!"
Wang Shunchen, who was behind Zhao Si, responded with a complicated expression and some nervousness.
"I won't team up with you next time. Your archery skills are far superior to mine, and you will kill me every time. No, if I team up with you, I can only follow behind and eat ashes!"
After saying that, Zhao Si laughed.
The hearty smile made Wang Shunchen, Liu Fa, Zhong Jianzhong and others also smile, and their expressions were extremely cheerful.
The officers and soldiers watching around felt a strange and special emotion in their hearts. His Royal Highness King Jian, the distinguished prince of the clan and a brother of the official family, was indeed unique.
It would be great if he was our coach.
"All heads will be handed over from Xiaoguan Walled City." Zhao Si waved his hand generously.
His announcement made thousands of Xiaoguan Walled City defenders cheer. The nearly two hundred heads were a considerable military achievement.
The guards and followers smiled faintly beside them. They have their own system of rewarding according to merit, without delay.
The defenders of Xiaoguan looked at the excitement of the crowd and accepted the admiration and gratitude they projected towards them.
In fact, their requirements are not high. A little respect, care and trust are enough to make them throw their lives and blood.
Be fair and just, with clear rewards and punishments.
This is the image Zhao Si strives to show to the Western officers and soldiers, and it will be deeply ingrained in their hearts. This is how prestige and power are accumulated bit by bit.
One day, these bits and pieces will gather into a vast ocean. This chapter has been completed!
