Chapter 1,238 Victory

The sun rose from the east of the battlefield, and the morning glow reflected the sword light into a shining red.

The battlefield was in chaos. There was only one heavy horse, running wildly regardless of horse power, and madly approaching the command of the fleeing Chinese enemy general.

At the same time, a cavalry army also emerged from the side of the road. A young general suddenly rushed out of the team, waving his cavalry sword towards the Chinese enemy general.

Several Xia soldiers moved their horses to block the young general's way, but in the blink of an eye they were cut down one by one by the young general's superb sword skills.

There was no longer any obstacle in front of him, and the young general saw the look of fear in the enemy general's eyes, turned his horse's head to face him, and couldn't help but reveal a proud smile.

At this moment, I heard a loud shout from behind: "You evil thief, please accept your life!"

While running at high speed, the young general watched helplessly as a long arrow caught up with the enemy general's neck, and then suddenly emerged from the leather armor and copper-nailed collar connected to his helmet, an arrow shaft as long as his palm.

The head is a terrifying arrow that is two inches long!

Armor-breaking cone!

Damn it! The young general only had time to curse, flipped the sword over, and swiped the back of the sword across the neck of the enemy general who was still falling, and then passed him by with electricity.

If the enemy was shot dead by others, he would not bother to take his head again.

However, he was so angry that he turned his horse's head back. Regardless of the Xia Qi running around him, he raised his sword and pointed at the heavy cavalry who had just fired an arrow to kill the chieftain, and shouted angrily: "Who dares to take the credit from me?!

Show your face! Challenge me to a duel!"

The heavy rider put the precious Xingzhou bow in his hand into the bow pouch and took off his helmet: "I am a soldier of the Song Dynasty. I have the right to command the Huanzhou archers to fight against Wu Cunzhi. I dare not ask the young general for his surname."

Both men were great heroes in the eyes of their respective subordinates. When the surrounding village archers and Tibetan braves saw Wu Cunzhi being pointed at with a knife, they immediately clapped their horses and surrounded him.

In recent days, the young general's subordinates have all relied on him to deal with the Xia people safely and escape. They even made great achievements and atone for their sins. Now they are also riding over and forming a charging formation.

Just when the two sides were at war with each other, another group of heavy cavalry came over: "Jia Boyan! What are you going to do?! Put down the knife!"

The young general was none other than Jia Ji. When he saw the visitor wearing the same attire as Wu Cunzhi, he couldn't help but shout: "Who are you?! Do I need to give you face?"

The visitor let go of the leaf hammer in his hand and took off his helmet like Wu Cunzhi: "What's going on? Do you want to challenge me to a duel?"

Jia Wei was startled, and he prostrated himself: "Oh, brother, please calm down! You are wearing a tin can and making loud noises, you really didn't hear it..."

"Jia Boyan, I've told you a long time ago, if you can't deal with the profligate children in the capital, don't hang out in the army!"

"No matter how powerful your martial arts skills are, it is still a disaster. Maybe one day your head will be taken away by the military law team!" The person who came was none other than Di Yong, and he shouted with a livid face: "You don't go after Gong Mengyou, but you still dare to stop me.

The army marches for suppression?"

"Brother, please calm down first..." In front of Di Yong, Jia Wei didn't even dare to say: "Uh...brother said that this general is not a sinner?"

Di Yong was too lazy to pay attention to him and handed over to Wu Cunzhi: "Brother, this kid has always been arrogant. I apologize to you on his behalf."

Wu Cunzhi didn't care about this: "What? Isn't it an exaggeration?"

Di Yong said: "No, the prisoner told me that this is He Luolingzhi, the Prince Consort of the Western Xia Dynasty, the deputy general of the Xia army this time."

Wu Cunzhi said: "Then I will chase..."

Di Yong grabbed Wu Cunzhi's horse's head reins and said, "The horse power is no longer enough. Let Qingqi handle the pursuit. This battle in Huanzhou is all thanks to my brother and sister-in-law. Now that Huanzhou is safe, I don't dare to let my brother take risks anymore."

After speaking, he said seriously: "Don't forget, my sister-in-law is still waiting for you in Huanzhou. Now I have to command the battlefield in Huanzhou. I want to ask my brother to guard it for the time being."

Wu Cunzhi looked at the situation on the battlefield. The Song army and Fan cavalry were still chasing the divided Xia army everywhere. The victory was determined: "Then I will change horses and go back now."

Di Yong turned over and said, "Brother, I can only do this for three to five days."

Wu Cunzhi didn't show any pretense, he took his weapon, bow and arrow, hung it up, went to He Luolingzhi's neck to break the arrow shaft, put away the armor-piercing awl, and then got on Di Yong's horse: "Then I'll be in the ring.

Prefecture, wait for the news from the prefect."

After saying that, he took the reins and galloped towards Huanzhou.

Jia Ji then cautiously came over and said, "Brother, who... is this..."

Di Yong glanced sideways at Jia Mi: "After this battle, go and apologize to Brother Wu. Hahaha, he is an old subordinate of Mrs. Shu. In order to save Duke Fu, he lost a dog outside Dun'an Village.

Legs. You don’t even need to tell Madam about this matter. Even if Sun Qianchen hears it, he won’t be able to get around you!"

Jia Wei was immediately dumbfounded: "This...I don't know this either..."

Di Yong climbed onto a horse brought by his subordinates: "Why don't you follow me to chase the enemy? I'll also listen to how you survived behind enemy lines..."

…

Bianjing City.

Sun Gu took a memorial and strode to the side hall in a hurry, not like an old man.

"Good news!" Sun Gu greeted Zhao Xu first at the door of the side hall: "Your Majesty, good news from Huanzhou!"

"Oh?" Zhao Xu put down his pen and said, "Bring it to me! Where is Duke Fu?"

"The Duke of Fu is still sorting out Di Yong's previous memorials and... information. He said they would arrive soon."

In Di Yong's report, the Battle of Huanzhou was also very thrilling, with defeat first and then victory.

Hongde Village was broken, the guard was killed, and Jia Gai on the other side voluntarily abandoned Guang'en Village. This was definitely not allowed in the past Song Dynasty. Jia Gai was guilty of losing his land.

However, Su You was firmly opposed to judging the fault of frontline generals in this way, believing that in an evenly matched war, repeated battles for key frontline areas were a normal phenomenon.

Various signs indicate that Jia Ji's fighting spirit is very positive. He constantly harasses the Xia people, effectively blocks Meng Meng and wins precious time, allowing the Shubo and the archers in the field to retreat successfully, reducing Huanzhou's losses to

lowest.

Sun Gu was an old-school minister who had great distrust of generals and believed that Su You was covering up the defeat of the border army.

In fact, this is not the old man’s fault. Although the Song Dynasty expanded its territory in recent years, generally speaking, it did not fight any tough battles.

Su You tried to persuade Zuo, but the iron kite didn't even have time to wear it;

When Wang Shao attacked Hehuang, the people he bullied were the natives of Qingtang;

On the other side of the South China Sea, the territory has expanded thousands of miles, relying on another branch of the military - the Navy.

In other words, in the eyes of veterans like Sun Gu, the great victory of the Song Dynasty over the past ten years does not mean that the Song Dynasty's military power has reached an unparalleled level.

In fact, Su You also very much agreed with Sun Gu's view. If there were no new army, the old man's judgment would most likely be correct.

However, the New Army returned to the Soviet Union and the oil pipeline was still kept secret. The old man was not very clear about the power of the New Army.

In the minds of veterans who have personally experienced the great defeat that allowed the Xia people to establish their country during the Qingli period, and experienced the Zhenzong dynasty and the Liao people's iron horses marching thousands of miles straight to Chanyuan without any hindrance, the Song Dynasty has not yet faced off against the enemy's heavy cavalry.

If it has won a victory in the war, it does not mean that the Song Dynasty has the ability to destroy enemy countries with heavy cavalry.

The old man's judgment on this point was actually completely correct. When the Iron Pagoda of the Jin Kingdom came out in later generations, it almost destroyed all the surrounding countries.

After the tactics of combining light and heavy cavalry groups were integrated by the civilized locust Tatars, the power of the Mongolian cavalry finally reached the peak of the cold weapon era.

Therefore, the old man has been quite worried about the situation of the Huanzhou War, so it is no wonder that he is happy now.

Sun Gu took the report and explained the situation of the battle to Zhao Xu based on the map.

There are many legends in this battle.

Jia Gai and Di Yong used telescopes, solar reflections, and the language of lights in advance to discuss the strategy of coordinating the inside and the outside fifteen miles apart.

Li Xiniang, the bride of Wu Cunzhi, a volunteer soldier from Weizhou who had retired from the army, came up with a plan to scold the Xia people at the top of the city.

Shi Yong, the former chief executive of the Zhengzhou Bearing Factory who was demoted to Huanzhou, first invented the Yushu General Cannon, which played a key role in defending the already breached Huanzhou City.

After that, it took another day to make three hundred half-horse armors and heavy cavalry spears.

It was a mistake to withdraw the troops overnight and leave the Chinese army. The Xia people were just like the Song people who had their city gates blown open by explosives. It was completely unexpected that the Song people were able to dispatch heavy cavalry to charge into the formation in a night battle. Likewise,

I was completely stunned all of a sudden!
