Wu Zhi and others waited quietly in Wuyan Gorge for two days. Everyone was bored. Suddenly, a fast horse galloped from the south direction of Wuyan Gorge. The cavalryman also held a red flag in his hand and walked through the gorge.
After that, he quickly arrived in front of Wu Zhi. This was one of the scouts sent earlier, specifically to gather information around Wuyan Gorge.
As soon as the horse stopped, the cavalryman quickly jumped off the horse, ran to Wu Zhi, and reported quickly: "Report! The enemy is coming!" He was panting and covered with sweat.
"Can you see how many people there are?" Wu Zhi asked quickly.
"Commander Wu, there are many enemy troops. They are countless. It is estimated that there are more than 100,000 people! We dare not get too close!" the scout responded quickly.
"Get ready to fight!" Wu Zhi was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately issued an order to prepare for battle. He also told the soldiers of the Red Guard camp to obey the attack instructions later, not to act without permission, not to launch an attack in advance, and to try their best to attack those with bright armor.
When the mounted officers and the chariots of the central army throw grenades, they must capture the thief first.
Without taking a cup of tea, Wu Zhi and others discovered from a distance that the dust was flying in the south of Wuyan Gorge, blocking the sky and the sun. The retreating army of 180,000 party members was coming north dejectedly, either on horseback or on foot, dressed in rags.
The flags were in ruins, and it was the army led by Empress Dowager Xiao Liang and Li Qianshun that had completely lost their energy and spirit at this time. Seeing the arrival of Dang Xiang's army, all the soldiers in the northwest couldn't help but be extremely energetic when they admired Wu Zhi's clever calculation and hid themselves well.
, entering a state of war.
Watching Dangxiang's retreating army slowly walk into Wuyan Gorge, and after stepping into the ambush circle, Wu Zhi quietly took out a bamboo grenade from his body, holding a fire fold in his right hand, and was ready to attack.
The long retreating army of Dangxiang slowly passed through the Wuyan Gorge and formed a long winding queue in the gorge. When a fleet of carriages came into view, Wu Zhi knew that the big fish had taken the bait and hurriedly lit it.
The bamboo grenade in his hand was thrown down the mountain with all his strength. There was a loud explosion, which meant that the order to attack was given to the soldiers of the Red Guard camp.
The Red Guard Battalion was originally lurking on the hillsides on both sides of the Wuyan Gorge Road, occupying a commanding position and occupying an advantageous position. More than a thousand officers and soldiers of the Red Guard Battalion had combat experience in the Battle of Tiandu Mountain. After hearing the loud noise signaling the start of the attack, they
All the officers and soldiers took action at the same time, pulled out the grenades on their bodies, lit them on fire, and threw them out with all their strength. Soon enough, more than a thousand bamboo grenades were filled with sparks, whizzing and smashing into the party items from top to bottom.
In the ranks of the army, the sound of explosions was as loud as thunder. Suddenly, people in the gorge were overturned, vehicles were destroyed, and people were killed. Smoke rose everywhere and filled the entire valley and gorge.
The retreating Dangxiang army never expected that they would encounter such a brutal ambush in their own country. They were completely unprepared and panicked like a frightened bird. They began to scream and wail as they pushed forward or retreated.
The entire marching team was crowded into chaos.
Then the second round of shocking explosions exploded in the crowd, and another wave of people flipped over, cars crashed and people died. When the party members heard the loud noise again, they felt as if they were punished by divine thunder, their livers and gallbladders were split, and they went even crazier.
Like a tide, they ran forward or collapsed backwards, running for their lives. The generals instantly lost the restraint and control of the soldiers. At this time, Liu Zhongwu, Zhong Pu and Wang Shunchen, who were guarding the north and south sides of Wuyan Gorge, saw each other.
Zhuang hurriedly launched an attack, and the cavalry rushed into the battlefield like magic soldiers descending from the sky. The Dangxiang people were even worse off. The soldiers only focused on running for their lives and completely lost their ability to resist. The Dangxiang cavalry wanted to charge to resist, but they were scattered by their own people.
If it is blocked, it will have no effect at all, and we can only run away.
As the third round of shocking explosions sounded, the party members in the valley became a mess and collapsed like headless flies. All the chariots and chariots had been blown up and down, and no one could escape from the Wuyan Gorge.
Wu Zhi saw that the Xixia army was already running to both sides, and quickly ordered the officers and soldiers of the Red Guard Battalion to move quickly to both sides, and dropped a fourth round of grenades. The grenades fell like flowers from the goddess, and earth-shattering explosions followed in Xixia again.
There were explosions in the rout, and flesh and blood flew. The Xixia people howled again, discarded their helmets and armor, and ran like wolves. They were in panic all day long, just running forward or retreating backwards. They were in a mess and completely lost.
Reason and direction are defeated.
Wu Zhi saw that the Red Guard Battalion had completed its attack mission, so in addition to instructing the soldiers who still had grenades to throw grenades into the canyon from time to time as a deterrent, he led the rest of the Red Guard Battalion to stand on the ridge and watch the show.
, watching the northwest cavalry of the Great Song Dynasty complete the final fatal blow!
One side was like a wolf like a tiger, and the other side was just running away without fighting spirit. The entire battlefield fell into a one-sided massacre. The party members completely lost the ability to resist. The Song Dynasty cavalry continued to harvest the heads of the party members. In half a day,
The party members who entered the valley of Wuyan Gorge were almost completely wiped out, with numerous casualties, and almost all the survivors became prisoners. Some of the party members who did not enter the valley in the south of Wuyan Gorge scattered to the east and west after a slight resistance, and suddenly
They ran away without a trace. Some party soldiers tried to climb up the mountain, but they were hacked to death one by one by the officers and soldiers of the Red Guard Battalion who were guarding the mountain. No one was spared.
After the smoke dissipated, and when the fighting subsided and there were no more entanglements or fights in the whole Wuyan Gorge, Wu Zhi led the soldiers of the Red Guard Battalion to rush down the mountain ridge, and cooperated with the cavalry to start cleaning the battlefield, killing those who were seriously injured, and then cut off the heads of the enemy soldiers.
In Two Ears, the captured party members, captured war horses, cattle and sheep were put under centralized care.
Wu Zhi deliberately walked to the area where the chariots were concentrated, and saw that all the chariots had been blown up. The people in the chariots were dead and injured, and some of them became prisoners. Almost all of these people were the royal family of Xixia.
Members and princes and ministers are now being taken over by Wu Zhi! After confirmation, the two people Wu Zhi cares about the most have finally been found: Empress Dowager Xiaoliang was killed on the spot, and Li Qianshun was injured and became a prisoner of the Red Guard Camp!
When Wu Zhi saw Li Qianshun, he saw a boy about fourteen years old sitting dejectedly among the captives, covered in blood and mud, stroking his left foot in pain, with a gloomy and pale face, three meters away.
Surrounded by a group of captured party nobles and generals in bright armor. Seeing Wu Zhi coming, Li Qianshun was expressionless and trembling. The leader of the Xixia Kingdom, who was about fourteen years old, was just a young man who had not grown up.
He completely lost his usual dignity as a human king.
Wu Zhi quickly ordered Lin Chong to find the military doctor accompanying Li Qianshun to treat Li Qianshun's injuries. He could not watch Li Qianshun die from his injuries. When the military doctor reported back that Li Qianshun was only injured in the flesh and sprained his feet, Wu Zhi felt relieved.
After the battlefield was cleaned and the results were tallied, everyone was shocked again: countless enemies were injured and more than 80,000 enemies were killed. Among them, nearly 30,000 were killed on the spot by the Red Guard battalion. They died of their injuries or were injured.
No less than 20,000 people were killed with swords and guns, and no less than 10,000 party members died due to panic and trampled on each other. Only more than 20,000 people were actually killed by the cavalry in the attack, more than 5,000 people were captured, and 20,000 war horses were seized.
He had more than one horse, countless cattle and sheep; and what was even more astonishing was that he actually killed the Queen Mother Xiaoliang of Xixia and captured Li Qianshun, the leader of the Xixia Kingdom!
The Song Dynasty cavalry also suffered casualties. Due to the chaos at the time, some command failures occurred and casualties were caused in the melee. In this battle, the Song Dynasty cavalry killed more than 500 people, injured more than 1,000 others, and lost more than 300 horses. There were no casualties in the guard camp during the battle. However, when rushing down the mountain ridge to clean the battlefield, several soldiers accidentally fell and scratched themselves due to excessive excitement, causing minor scratches. They were considered honorably wounded.
The soldiers of the Red Guard Battalion once again achieved great success in this battle of Wuyan Gorge!
Looking at the battle report in their hands, Wu Zhi and the generals were overjoyed. This was another great victory, and the results were even more brilliant and astonishing! Especially when they saw the body of Empress Dowager Xiaoliang and the captured Xixia who was about fourteen years old. When the leader of the country Li Qianshun came, everyone suddenly had the illusion of ecstasy. This Xixia country was equivalent to being destroyed!
But Wu Zhi is very calm. He does not think that Xixia has been destroyed. The Jin King of Xixia, Richard Brother, is Li Qianshun's younger brother. He is also a man of great talent and strategy. Xixia also has the royal family Renduo Baozhong and the royal minister Weiming Awu. , Wei Baomo, Jie Nianyu and others are also capable talents. With the death of Queen Mother Xiaoliang, the Liang family has come to an end in Xixia, but the Weiming family will definitely support Brother Richard as the leader of the country. Xixia has not yet was driven to the point of destroying the country.
But Wu Zhi knew that he had changed the history of Xixia, and for the first time, Xixia's development trajectory deviated.
Wu Zhi's only regret now is that the Red Guard Battalion no longer has enough bamboo grenades. Without this surprising weapon, the Red Guard Battalion will not be able to exert its surprise force effect!
If the Red Guard camp still has enough grenades, he will lead the army to attack Xingqing Mansion and capture or kill Brother Richard, Ren Duo Baozhong, Weiming Awu and others. At that time, Xixia will be truly destroyed. . Therefore, Wu Zhi inevitably had some regrets and disappointments in his heart, but in the future, Xixia was no longer in trouble. The main force of Xixia's army suffered heavy losses in these battles, almost half of which was lost, and it had lost its strength to fight against the Song Dynasty.
He finally helped the Song Dynasty basically solve the hidden dangers of Xixia.
Judging from the two battles, Wu Zhi also discovered that the explosive effect of bamboo grenades is amazing, the destructive power is also amazing, and it can shock people's hearts, but it also has a shortcoming, that is, it can only play a killing role in crowded places. If used in sparse places or farther away or in close combat, it will not have such a great enemy-defeating effect. And it can only be used on sunny days. If it encounters rain or snow, the grenade fuse will not light at all when it gets wet, and the explosive power will be lost. , turned into a pile of waste. Wu Zhi and the Red Guard Battalion were very lucky. Both battles were fought on sunny days, and the bamboo grenades exerted great power. It seems that he still has to improve the bamboo grenades and find some Other new weapons, such as guns, rockets and other long-range strike and individual combat weapons, can defeat the enemy faster and better.
Wu Zhi wrote two copies of the good news, one was delivered to Wang En for reading, and the other was sent to Weizhou to Zhang Kai. After the good news from Wuyanxia was sent out urgently, Wu Zhi ordered people to collect the body of Empress Dowager Xiaoliang and bury it in the After entering the Yanxia Gorge, he ordered everyone to gather the dead bodies and burn them to ashes. Then he quickly ordered the troops to pack up the loot, escorted more than 5,000 prisoners, and drove more than 20,000 prisoners with the ears of party members. War horses, countless cattle and sheep quickly evacuated from Moyan Gorge, towards Pingxia City, and returned to the territory of the Song Dynasty.
