Chapter 447 Battle of the Ancient Waves
Thousands of Xixia army were squeezed into a small place, with the fierce Kaiping army on both sides, as well as the already opened crossbows, and the thunder that was about to be ignited.
"Put down your weapons and those who surrender will avoid death!" Han Shizhong urged his horse out and shouted at the surrounded Xixia army.
"Don't listen to these nonsense about Song people. They just lie to us to put down their weapons and will kill us in the end. Everyone will fight with them!"
A Xixia officer had just shouted, and a sharp arrow flew out, penetrated through his mouth, and came out of the back of his head. The dead body fell to the ground with a plop.
"Boom boom boom boom!" The sky-booming thunder also exploded among the enemy. The Xixia people who were about to resist were killed in one go. Those who still wanted to resist were all stopped and did not dare to step beyond the line.
"You all have to think about it. Life is yours, and there is only one thing. Don't mislead yourself!" Han Shizhong's words were full of temptation. These people saw that no one took the lead in resisting, and then looked at the tragic situation of the death of everyone, and finally believed his words.
After all, life is yourself, and there is really only one thing. Who would cherish it if you don’t cherish it?
When Han Shizhong saw that they had put down their weapons, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and asked someone to tie them up.
Han Shizhong laughed at him and ordered people to imprison them all. He turned around and said to Fan Cheng: "Fan Cheng, I will leave this to you. Keep him for me. No Xixia people are allowed to pass here."
"Sir, don't worry, I'm in the city, and I will never let a Xixia person pass by."
Han Shizhong looked at him viciously and said, "I don't want you to be in the city. Remember that even if you are not in the city, you must be in the city!"
"Yes!" Fan Cheng shouted loudly: "Have you heard it? The commander-in-chief ordered me to guard Herong City even if the people are gone! What do we say?"
"Please rest assured, the 8,000 soldiers of the Second Division swore that he would never lose his troops!" A huge voice trembled with Rongcheng.
Han Shizhong nodded, he patted Fan Cheng on the shoulder, and then said to Xiao Nanfeng: "General Xiao, the next step depends on you, let's set off!"
"Okay! Let's go!" Xiao Nanfeng agreed, and he urged the war horse to rush out first. Han Shizhong and others rushed to the war horse behind and followed him out of Herong City.
Xiao Nanfeng ran to Xiliang City in blood. When he got there, he no longer insisted on not protecting him. He fell to the ground with a thud, and then shouted loudly to the city: "Hurry! Go and report to the deputy commander, and report to Rongcheng urgently!"
When the people in the city heard that it was a messenger from Rongcheng, they did not dare to delay and ran inside to report.
Tuoba Siqian in the city has been restless these days and feels that something big is about to happen. When he heard someone's report that he had a messenger coming with Rongcheng, he was so scared that he shuddered.
"Come out with me!" Tuobo Siqian exclaimed and led the army to the city tower.
There was only one person outside, and this was definitely not the enemy's plan. Tuoba Siqian quickly ordered people to open the city and let him in.
"Who are you? What happened to Rongcheng?" Tuoba Siqian asked loudly when he met.
"Master Tuoba, you don't know me anymore? I am Xiao Nanfeng, Xiao Nanfeng, the subordinate of Mr. Zhang Jiu!"
"Ah! It's you? Not bad, I remember you, but why did you run here? What happened to Rongcheng again?" Tuoba Siqian suddenly woke up and shouted.
"Personal Army, yesterday the Song army suddenly besieged Herong City. They used magic magic. A large area of smoke enveloped Herong City. Thunder rumbling inside and sparkling fires, we couldn't resist it at all. The soldiers under our army were killed and injured. Thanks to Lord Li's desperate campaign, the men were also desperate to save the city.
However, our army suffered heavy casualties and the reign of Rongcheng was in danger. I was just about to go to the west to do a deal, but I caught up with this incident. When Li Jun Envoy saw the danger of the city, he asked me to come back to report the news. Please send the reinforcements quickly, otherwise the reign of Rongcheng would be unprotected."
"Hiss--" Tuoba Siqian took a breath. No wonder he was always upset. It turned out that the problem was here.
"Demonic magic, demonic magic, and demonic magic!" Tuoba Si cursed in a humble manner, but there was no way, but this was something he could not crack. He cursed in a hurry, but he was still hesitating whether to save He Rongcheng.
"The deputy commander-in-chief must send reinforcements. The terrain of Herong City is dangerous. We may be able to block the magic of the Song people. If they really break through the mouth of Lelang Gorge, the army will drive straight into it and reach the city of Xiliang, it will be too late to regret it!"
Tuoba Siqian suddenly woke up, and he slapped his head and said, "Not bad! Not bad! Thanks to Nanfeng's reminder, otherwise he would have almost missed the big thing! People come, hurry up and order the troops and we will go to save Herongcheng."
Tuobo Siqian shouted, and then asked his personal soldiers to go and click the entire city. His subordinates had 10,000 troops later. If they wanted to save Herong City, there would definitely be no one if there were fewer people, so Tuoba Siqian took away 8,000 people at once, leaving only 2,000 people stationed in the city.
They left the city and didn't bother to send scouts to explore the road ahead. They rode horses and ran to Lelang along the way.
It was more than a hundred miles from Xiliang to Lelang. It took them a long time to reach Lelang Canyon.
The Lelang Canyon was also very quiet, which made Tuoba Siqian feel a little relieved.
"Sir, the rescue is like putting out a fire. Let's go quickly!" Xiao Nanfeng kept urging.
Tuoba Siqian shook his head and said, "We have run all the way, and we are trapped and exhausted. If we are rushing forward, we will lose the strength even if we enter Herong City. Everyone has it, get off the horse and rest for an hour, replenish food, and then leave!"
The army agreed, and they jumped down from the horse and started eating food. Xiao Nanfeng sighed slightly, then found an excuse and moved out quietly.
Soon an hour passed, and Tuoba Siqian ordered the army to turn on the horse again. He looked at what was missing around him, but did he remember it for a moment.
"Bang!" Tuoba Siqian shook his head, then suddenly whipped the war horse and shouted loudly: "Go! Go and Rongcheng!" After that, he rushed over with a rumbling army.
Soon they entered Lelang Canyon, which was already very narrow, and the team of war horses became longer and longer, like a winding snake.
"They are here, attack!" Han Shizhong led the army to ambush on both sides. Seeing the enemy entering the canyon, with an order, the archer next to him began to shoot arrows.
Han Shizhong has tens of thousands of troops under his command, several times more than the enemy. Not to mention a sudden sneak attack, he can easily defeat the opponent even in a head-on confrontation.
The arrow was like rain, and a large area of Xixia people below were shot down. Tuoba Siqian realized that he had been fooled at this time, and He Rongcheng must have been lost. Without He Rongcheng, if there was another problem with his army, Xiliang would become the fat meat in the mouth of the enemy.
"Retreat! Retreat! Follow me to kill back!" Tuobosi was so humble that he almost vomited blood. With his order, the army turned his head and began to rush out.
However, in this place, it is very difficult to even move forward, let alone turn. The most powerful part of the cavalry lies in its speed. When it really charges, even the bow and arrow cannot hit effectively.
Therefore, in the past, they used to turn around and would never slow down their speed. This in-situ steering is a taboo.
The target of the war horse was already big, and it suddenly stopped and turned to the spot, becoming a living target for the enemy. For the Kaiping Army, which attaches the most importance to bow and arrow training, this was undoubtedly a fatal mistake.
When the soldiers of the Kaiping Army saw that the enemy had made such a major mistake, they would not be polite. They bent their bows and arrows one by one and shot them down.
The war horses below screamed and screamed repeatedly, and soon after, a large area fell down. Tuoba Siqian also realized that it was his own mistake, but now he didn't care much about it. Under the protection of the Iron Harrier heavy cavalry, he rushed back all the way.
The Iron Harrier Cavalry had good resistance to bows and arrows. Although there were many casualties along the way, they eventually took Tuoba Siqian to kill him.
"Where is Xiao Nanfeng?" Tuoba Siqian suddenly remembered what was missing? The Xiao Nanfeng who had been following him was gone.
"Master Tongjun, Xiao Nanfeng disappeared when he entered the canyon. We don't know where he went?"
Tuoba Siqian slapped his head suddenly and said, "Oh! We're fooled by him! This Xiao Nanfeng is simply a spy. After I go back, I must submit a copy and completely take down their chamber of commerce! Let's go!"
Tuoba Siqian gritted his teeth and left the canyon, but as soon as he came out, someone on the opposite side laughed and said, "Sir, are you looking for me?"
Tuoba Siqian looked up and saw an army lined up opposite him. The leader was General Han Shizhong, but Xiao Nanfeng standing next to him.
Xiao Nanfeng was the intelligence leader of the Kaiping Army in Xixia. The escort leader of the chamber of commerce was just a cover for his identity. This person's real position had reached the level of a lieutenant general, and he was also very high in the army.
Tuoba Si almost vomited blood in a humble manner. He pointed at Xiao Nanfeng with his hand and shouted loudly: "A common man! You are a person who forgot your ancestors, you are so harmful to my tall Xia Kingdom. How can you meet your ancestors after you die?"
Xiao Nanfeng sneered: "Tuoba Siqian, I think you are stupid! I was originally a Han Chinese, what's wrong with helping the Han Chinese? Even if you Xixia was also a subordinate of our Song Dynasty at the beginning, you betray your master, so you should consider how to meet your ancestors!"
Han Shizhong snorted coldly and said, "Xiliang, it has been our territory since the Han and Tang dynasties. Today, we finally welcome him home. All the generals listened! Kill the enemy for me!"
