The collision between infantry and cavalry has always been difficult. The cavalry can use the high maneuverability of the war horse to release powerful inertia on the sword edge in a short period of time.
The best defense for infantry is a powerful military formation. The army of the Song Dynasty was equipped with a large number of spears to deal with the powerful cavalry. At this time, the Song Army's military formation was like a "shield" to resist the tide of cavalry. The spearmen had no choice but to even attack the cavalry.
The handle of the gun was dug into the ground for support.
The war horse neighed, the spear pierced the horse's neck, the sword slashed through the armor, and blood burst out. In this short moment, the battlefield turned into a millstone of flesh and blood. The fight between the two sides was completely supported by courage.
The Song Army's military formation began to waver. This was an inevitable situation. The Dangxiang people's cavalry had always been fierce. They were not afraid of life and death. In order to break through the Song Army's military formation, they attacked wave after wave. Even if their horses died, the Dangxiang people would start from there.
They rolled off their horses and continued to slash and kill with long knives, until the Song Army's spears pierced their bodies. Everyone was fighting hard. At this time, there was no way out, and the cowardly end was a humiliating death.
The Zhenxi Army has been guarding the border for many years, and it can be said that they are not incompetent. Even the ferocious soldiers of Dangxiang cannot make them timid.
Li Yuanhao looked at the Shura field on the battlefield and was extremely calm. He seemed to be a born commander. He did not waver at all when the party's cavalry was briefly frustrated, and calmly ordered the follow-up cavalry to make up for it.
The cavalry was like a tide, constantly beating the solid Song army formation, tearing open gaps and pouring into it. The balance of the battlefield soon changed and tilted towards Dangxiang.
The Song army's formation had been torn open several gaps, but Li Yuanhao finally exerted his strength at this time, put down his helmet and personally led the army to charge. When Dang Xiang's army saw this, they shouted one after another, and guarded them as if they were beaten to death.
Then a sharp sword appeared on the Fuzhou plain, shattering the "shield" of the Song army's formation like a torrent of steel.
When the military formation was completely cut off, the outcome of this war was determined. The infantry of the Zhenxi Army were desperate, but they still fought desperately. The veterans all knew that their legs could not outrun the horses. At this time, they could only flee in a hurry.
Fall prey to party cavalry.
Fighting in despair to achieve the last pride and persistence. Human beings are emotional animals. Even when they are about to die, they will burst out with their final fighting strength. The spear pierced the knight on the horse, and his own head was lifted by the sword.
rise……
His head rolled on the ground like a rubber ball, and was then trampled to pieces by the war horse. The horse's hooves slid forward in a pool of blood, and the whimpering horn sounded the death knell of the Song army.
This thousand-man vanguard was quickly engulfed by the tide of party cavalry, without causing even a splash, but it made Li Yuanhao frown slightly.
Zhang Yuan and Hu Hao on the side could no longer see, and were vomiting on horseback. However, Li Yuanhao still led them to patrol the battlefield. Whenever they found alive Song soldiers, the Dangxiang cavalry would use their spears to quickly understand them.
life.
This is not cruelty, but the last respect for the opponent. Instead of letting them struggle in pain on the ground, it is better to give them a good time.
"These are just two forward commanders of the Zhenxi Army. They can reach Xuanwei Village as quickly as possible, but they have given so many obstacles to the army. It is not easy. This shows that Zhe Wei Zhong manages the army well."
"The army of the Song Dynasty has always been like this. If there are police at the border camp, two infantrymen under command will advance to suppress the formation. Zhe Wei Zhong's main army will arrive soon, otherwise the imperial court will not be able to justify it."
Although Zhang Yuan's face was still pale, he expressed his inference at this time, and Hu Hao also followed: "Yes, the Zhe family has guarded the prefecture for generations, and it would be a crime to lose the border stronghold... The Lord was deceived to reorganize the army.
Waiting for strong enemies!"
Li Yuanhao smiled, but then shook his head: "After taking Xuanwei Village, you can follow me in retreat. My goal is not Fuzhou! It has never been!"
Zhang Yuan and Hu Hao were extremely surprised. Now that there were tens of thousands of Dangxiang troops, Li Yuanhao actually said that the target was not Fuzhou, so where else could it be? Could it be nearby Linzhou or Fengzhou in the north?
Seeing their doubts, Li Yuanhao smiled and did not answer. He just patted his horse and walked into the blood of the corpse mountain. After dismounting, he personally took off the waist badge from the corpse of the Song army commander. After looking at it carefully, he said to the party soldiers: "Put the Song soldiers' armor and weapons on."
Take them all away, hand over all written orders and letters, and divide everything else among you!"
"Long live!"
The Dangxiang cavalry cheered. In the eyes of Zhang Yuan and Hu Hao, these Dangxiang people instantly turned into shabby people fleeing the famine. They almost wiped away anything useful from the corpses of the Song soldiers, even the inner belt.
There was no way, Dangxiang was too poor and lacked material capital. They were also restricted by the Song Dynasty. Any capture on the battlefield was something they could not give up.
As the forward of the supporting Zhenxi Army was wiped out, the resistance of Xuanwei Village became meaningless, and it was unable to hold on for long under the pressure of tens of thousands of troops.
Zhang Yuan felt that Li Yuanhao should be more merciful, and boldly suggested: "My lord, there is no need to order people to massacre the forts. Let the old, young, women and children go. They are just the people of the border states of the Song Dynasty."
Li Yuanhao smiled coldly: "Mercy? People? Do you know that their fathers, sons, brothers, and husbands just died in the hands of our party's warriors? Even if we let them go, will they feel my kindness? They will only retain their anger.
In my heart, I will take revenge one day! Even if I can't do it myself, I will let my son, younger brother, and elder brother come to take revenge. Do you know how many Song troops are in this fort? How many strong men will join to defend the fort? Regardless of whether it's up or down the prefecture.
The soldiers and civilians hate our party so much that there is no possibility of turning back. In this case, why should I let them go? Are we going to leave trouble in the future? That is what fools do!"
Zhang Yuan and Hu Hao were stunned. They found that the common sense of the Han family and the ethics and benevolence in books were completely useless here. The naked reality told them that survival was the most important thing for the Dangxiang people.
Li Yuanhao looked at them, with a warm smile on his face and said: "Do you know why I want to bring you with me? It is to let you see clearly how our party members have gained a foothold in the northwest. What I need is not just a fight on the battlefield.
Killing, we need you even more to do things that the party members of the Han family cannot learn!"
Zhang Yuan and Hu Hao looked at each other, they understood what Li Yuanhao was talking about, and they knew where their strengths lay from the beginning.
The resistance in Xuanwei Village was over, but the city wall was still there, but it turned into a hell on earth. All those who resisted were killed, and even those who did not resist or were unable to resist were all taken away.
Women and children are all valuable in the eyes of the party members. Living men can be used as slaves. As for the old, weak, sick and disabled, the long knife will solve their pain!
After Xuanwei Village was plundered, Li Yuanhao led his army to retreat decisively. They defeated the two commanders of the Zhenxi Army, leaving thousands of people behind in Xuanwei Village. The remaining army disappeared at the border of Fuzhou.
The 1,000 people left behind will put great pressure on Fuzhou. The Dangxiang people had built many forts outside Fuzhou before, but they were too simple compared to Xuanwei Village. Now they occupy Xuanwei Village, and they
Wei Zhong must still feel like a stuck in his throat, and he is always worried about another invasion by the party.
But he didn't know that Li Yuanhao had already led his army to the west at this time. The Dangxiang army that had just obtained the spoils was in high spirits. Their target was not Fuzhou on Hedong Road, but Huizhou on Yongxing Military Road...
