The attack came very suddenly, and Tuoba Qingshou's reaction was quite quick. After all, he was born on the battlefield. What kind of danger has he not seen? The experience of escaping from death several times allowed Tuoba Qingshou to practice his skills.
With unwavering courage, the initial panic lasted less than a breath, and the next moment Tuoba Qingshou made the most correct reaction.
It was too late to draw out his sword to block, and the sword light came to his eyes in an instant. Tuoba Qingshou fell sideways. The soldiers around him thought that the general had been stabbed by the sword and fell to the ground. Amidst the exclamations, a burst of dust flew all over the sky.
, but when Tuoba Qingshou fell to the ground, he quickly grabbed a handful of sand and threw it towards the assassin's face.
The man thrust his sword into the air, and there was a cloud of dust in front of him. He quickly waved his sleeves to cover his eyes, but the sword in his hand did not stop at all. Although he could not see the opponent's position, the direction of the thrust was very correct. It was Tuoba Qingshou.
Back position.
Tuoba Qingshou dodged the first sword, but became much more calm with the second sword. He rolled several times on the spot, and the tip of the sword repeatedly penetrated the sandy ground he rolled over, making a piercing sound.
A scream was suddenly heard. A Xia Army soldier was hit by a sword in his body. His armor-clad chest was pierced in several places. Blood spurted out. Then the lifeless body suddenly flew up and rushed towards the assassin's face.
, the assassin flew up and kicked the body several feet away, before it rolled and landed on the ground.
At the same time, Tuoba Qingshou had drawn out the scimitar from his waist and held it in front of him. He had just pulled a soldier to block several swords. Now he finally had a moment to draw the sword in his hand. The crisis was finally over.
The dust dispersed, and the burly assassin stood with his sword in hand. He also knew that he had missed the chance to kill Tuoba Qingshou with one strike, and there was no chance of killing Tuoba Qingshou again. The Xia Army soldiers who had reacted on the left and right shouted and surrounded him.
, surrounded him.
Tuoba Qingshou shouted: "Who are you?"
The assassin chuckled and said: "You are lucky, Xixia dog, to be able to avoid being killed by me. Whether I change my name or not, I am the one who deployed the commander Ge Huaimin in Weizhou during the Song Dynasty."
Tuoba Qingshou was overjoyed. This man turned out to be a senior officer of the Song Army, but he assassinated him here alone for some unknown reason. However, there was no need to think so much. It was a credit to escape the Song Army and capture their leader.
Better than getting nothing.
"It turns out to be General Ge. The confrontation between the two armies was an open and honest fight. What kind of skill is it for you to hide on the roof and assassinate? How come none of your men are missing? Did they run away without you?"
"I don't have time to talk nonsense with you. If you have the ability to fight with me alone, I would like to see how capable the Xixia dog is."
Tuoba Qingshou said with a gloomy face: "It's ridiculous. Whoever fights with you here alone? You are the defeated general. It is only right to surrender quickly. If you can tell the situation of Weizhou's defense, you may be able to save your life."
, otherwise you won’t be able to survive a cup of tea.”
Ge Huaimin looked up to the sky and laughed, glared and cursed: "It's your mother's spring and autumn dream." As soon as he finished speaking, he jumped up in the air, held up the huge sword flower in his hand and stabbed Tuoba Qingshou.
Tuoba Qingshou shouted: "We've got it."
Immediately, several Xia soldiers rushed forward and blocked Ge Huaimin's way. Ge Huaimin slashed and stabbed with his sword, injuring two people in the blink of an eye. Tuoba Qingshou quickly retreated, waving his arms and shouting: "Take it, take it."
, life or death."
More Xia soldiers swarmed up and entangled Ge Huaimin in the middle. Ge Huaimin was not weak in martial arts. He pointed his long sword east and west to chop and stab. After a while, he hacked to death and injured more than ten people; but every time he killed
What one person got in exchange was a wound on his body. Although it was not fatal, blood was already flowing from several wounds all over his body, making him an out-and-out bloody man.
After several more fights, Ge Huaimin was shot and stabbed in the body. The gunshot wound was several inches deep under his ribs. The stab wound was deep enough to see the bone in his left arm. They were both serious injuries. After suffering this serious injury, his body gradually became inoperable and his steps became sluggish.
He got up, and then he was slashed in several places with random knives, and he was no longer able to fight anymore.
Ge Huaimin knew that his time had come. He suddenly roared and swung his sword to cut open the throat of a Xia soldier. But at the same time, his heart froze, followed by an unspeakable sting that seemed to penetrate deep into his soul. When he looked down,
But he saw the tip of a knife protruding from his chest, dripping with blood.
"Your Majesty... Is your minister Ge Huaimin serving the country with loyalty today? Commander Han... can you forgive me for your humble position?" Ge Huaimin shouted to the sky, with blood dripping all over his body like a ghost.
"Kill, kill him quickly." Tuoba Qing ordered loudly while standing outside the crowd.
When Ge Huaimin heard Tuoba Qingshou's voice, his eyes suddenly widened. He used up his last strength to throw out the long sword in his hand. The long sword broke through the air and went straight to the door in front of Tuoba Qingshou. Tuoba Qingshou did not dare.
He slowly swung his sword and knocked the long sword several feet away; at the same time, dozens of swords and spears pierced Ge Huaimin's body at the same time. Ge Huaimin let out a long cry, with a gloomy look in his eyes, and stood there with his head hanging down.
Some Xia soldiers were afraid that Ge Huaimin was still alive, so they stepped forward and chopped up Ge Huaimin's body with a knife. Tuoba Qingshou was even louder. He quickly stepped forward and slapped the soldiers who were chopping him up and cursed: "The man is already dead, so destroy him."
What does the body do? This man is brave and fearless and deserves respect. If it weren't for the different statuses of the enemy and us, I would really like to make friends with him, so I can sort him out and take him to King Yeli to inform him."
…
A small Dingchuan village was expected to be flattened by the Xixia cavalry in a matter of seconds, but it blocked the Xixia army for nearly three hours. At dawn, the left army's Yeli Wangrong troops arrived at the mountain pass. It was already
At the end of the war, it was only when the opponent took the initiative to abandon the stronghold and leave. The Song army relied on the weak stronghold wall and the low hillside to kill more than 2,000 Xia soldiers at the cost of hundreds of people.
This is simply a great shame.
Yeli Wangrong gritted his teeth and stared at the upright corpse in front of him, but he knew that he could not blame others. No matter how brave the Song army was, it was just a Song army and not a beast. The fundamental reason for the setback in this battle was that he underestimated the enemy.
Not only himself, but also the entire Daxia Army had a common thought of underestimating the enemy. Otherwise, why couldn't the four thousand cavalry in Yuande take the city, but instead killed and injured many soldiers? In the final analysis, it is because, in Yuande,
In the hearts of many Daxia soldiers, the Song Army was not worth mentioning at all, so after the Song Army suddenly used various tricks, they were unable to deal with it and could only be beaten.
After nearly three hours of delay, the 40,000 cavalrymen on the right led by Yeli Yuqi were also blocked for a long time. Fortunately, his own brother led the troops and secretly sent someone to inform him of the situation, but he would not come either.
He laughed at himself for being stupid. If Li Yuanhao found out, he would probably regard this matter as his own shame from now on.
Tuoba Qingshou sent two thousand cavalry to chase down the fleeing Song army in Dingchuan Village. Although more than 300 Song soldiers were killed along the way, most of the Song army chose the ravines and thorny roads, and the horses
Unable to enter, we can only look forward and sigh; more than a dozen Xia soldiers rode on these difficult paths with great deeds to achieve great achievements, but they were killed by the Song army.
These are not big things. What makes Yeli Wangrong extremely depressed is that the soldiers returning from the pursuit brought him a headache. There was actually another walled city more than ten miles ahead. Some people said that there was originally a walled city there.
It was called Liuyun Fort. The army had conquered and burned it several months ago, but I don’t know when the Song people rebuilt it.
The terrain of Liugenbao is not dangerous. After passing Dingchuan Village, there is no dangerous terrain. The reason why we chose to set up the village here is because a river runs across it, which is the gathering of melted snow water from the northern foot of Longshan Mountain.
It forms a not wide river, flowing into the Jingshui River from west to east.
Liu Feng Fort was built on the south bank of a river beach with the gentlest water flow. The Daxia cavalry going south to Weizhou had to cross this river, either by building a bridge, ferrying, or riding horses directly across the river; building a bridge and ferry
It is natural not to consider it unless it is absolutely necessary. That is because, although it is not difficult, if hundreds of thousands of troops cross the river to build a bridge to the south, it will take at least a hundred boats.
A year and a half.
Generally speaking, it is the simplest and easiest way to choose a river with gentle water and not deep water and ride across it on horseback. However, the location of Liu Feng Fort is the best place to cross the river.
Obviously this is another nail.
When Ye Liwangrong's left army arrived at the shore to the north of Fort Liu, the Song army on the wall of Fort Liu was already in a tight formation. Not only that, but there were also vague silhouettes of Song army archers behind the slope of the opposite bank;
Obviously, the Song army was well prepared. Once the Xia army began to wade across the river, they would be greeted by a rain of locusts.
