Chapter 1,288 Arrival

Amid the thunderous roar of the army, Liu Changzuo jumped out of the carriage, came to the front of the formation, took two large shields and blocked them in front of him.

Yao Lin took off a pair of sledgehammers from the drum stand and said to Li Xiang, the Supervisor who was riding in the same car: "Supervisor, from all the troops in Jingyuan, I would like to thank the Supervisor for not saying a word."

Li Xiang placed the Xingzhou treasure bow in his hand on the wall of the carriage at an angle, supported it with his knees, bent the bow with all his strength, then hung up the string, and said without raising his head: "Three generals

We are brave and strong, but our family is not a coward. We have prepared three hundred arrows today, and we must make a profit."

"Hit your drum, His Majesty values ​​military merit. As internal officials, don't we have to serve him wholeheartedly?"

Yao Lin laughed, took the drumstick, and beat the huge war drum under the spiritual flag on the car.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The rhythm is slow and steady. Under the guidance of the drums, the Song Army's shield soldiers are in front, followed by spearmen, longbowmen, crane-shank crossbows, and cavalry. The military law team presses the formation, forming a neat formation, slowly

They pressed forward towards the Xiaren Pass two miles away.

The thundering drums and roars frightened the Xia people guarding Qinggang Gorge.

Liang Yongneng sent Liang Yimi and Liang Gewei to the back village last night. Seeing the Song people's morale getting higher and higher with the war drums and pace, he said in a deep voice: "It will be difficult to fight if this continues. Who dares to fight?

To destroy their morale?"

Mu Yi, who was guarding the Qinggang Village, tightened his armor and said, "Go ahead, general. It is the responsibility of the general to guard the stronghold."

Liang Yongneng nodded: "Disrupt their formation and come back. Be careful that the Song people are very powerful with their crossbows and firearms."

Qifu Muyi drew out his long sword and said, "The general will understand!"

Soon, five thousand people rushed out of the Xia people's stronghold, led by Qifu Muyi, and rushed towards the front army of the Song formation.

Two hundred steps closer, behind the Song army's spears and shields, the archers on both sides of the Chinese army began to fire arrows.

"Boom -" Countless feather arrows flew into the air, and then fell towards the Xia people's charging route.

"Kill -" Seeing Bai Yu flying up behind the Song formation, Qifu Muyi held a small buckler in one hand and a long knife in the other and began to charge towards the Song army.

"Bang!" Liu Changzuo slammed the two heavy shields on the ground, squatted down, and held them with his shoulders.

The shield soldiers on both sides also operated in the same way, but they all used one hand to pull out the long sword from their waists.

The gunman stepped forward and placed his spear in the depression above the shield.

The sight of the crane-shin crossbowman in the center of the Chinese army was no longer blocked, "Cring - press the arrow - release!"

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh -" Countless crossbow arrows that were almost straight shot flew out from Song's formation and penetrated into Qifu Muyi's front arrow formation.

"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" Qifu Muyi ignored the crossbow arrows flying in front and above, and ignored the wounded Paoze who fell to the ground with a scream from an arrow. He stared at the Song Army's shield formation and ran desperately.

The crossbows of the Song people were powerful, and if the Xia people wanted to gain an advantage, sacrifice within a hundred steps was inevitable.

However, as soon as they engage the enemy, the Xia people's bravery will burst out. Soldiers who cannot fight for sixty rounds will be laughed at in the army.

I heard from the envoys of the Liao Kingdom that the female straight barbarians on the East China Sea are more powerful, and their standard for warriors is one hundred rounds.

Approaching the enemy at a hundred steps, with only three arrows and five arrows, thousands of Xia people were killed and only a few were injured. The two armies collided with each other.

General Qifu Muyi tightened his left arm holding the round shield, put his fist on his left shoulder, and put his left arm close to his side. He rushed closer and closer. Then he flew up with a wild cry and slammed into the two large shields in the middle of the Song army's formation.

.

Qifu Muyi is one of the most powerful generals in Xixia. He once fought alone with Ren Duo for dozens of rounds without losing. Now he is running into the opponent's shield array with his speed. He is confident that he can use this method to open a gap in the Song army's shield array.

"Bang——" The battle lines of the Song and Xia armies collided, and countless spears were thrust out from the shields, giving the fierce Xia people a fierce thrust!

The sound of collision still echoed in the valley, followed by the sound of fighting and shouting.

The first battle between the Song and Xia armies at Qinggang Gorge began.

Qifu Muyi's fierce impact did not achieve the effect he wanted. The opponent's giant shield did not waver at all!

There was no spear in front of him, but as one giant shield fell, a huge figure stood up from behind the other giant shield and struck hard at Qifu Muyi with the weapon in his left hand!

Saber!

The saber of the Song Dynasty was different from that of the Han and Tang dynasties. “In the fifth year of Xining, the workshop made the saber of the saber, which was more than three feet long, and the head was more than a chi.

It is also a sharp weapon. In the Gengchen period of the fifth month, I ordered you to create tens of thousands of people and distribute them to the border ministers."

This is actually a new type of heavy-duty two-handed saber derived from the Erlin Changdao. The back of the sword is as thick as one finger diameter, as wide as three fingers, and weighs nine kilograms. It cannot be used by non-brave warriors in the army.

But Liu Changzuo still thought it was too light, so the current sword was based on the horse-cutting sword, with the handle shortened, the blade extended, and a brass tiger head added to the end of the handle as a counterweight.

The two-handed knife turned into a one-handed knife, weighing a full fifteen kilograms!

The heavy sword struck down, and Qifu Muyi, who had not yet adjusted his body, had to raise his shield to block. The round shield covered with iron nails and cowhide was immediately split into pieces.

Liu Changzuo's long sword is not sharp, but because of its weight, its lethality is even more amazing than ordinary swords.

Although Qifu Muyi saved his left arm, half of his body was numb from the blow. He couldn't help but be shocked - there were such powerful people in the Song Dynasty!

There were many brave men in the Song Dynasty. For example, Guo Zun, who died heroically in the Battle of Sanchuankou, had more than ninety kilograms of iron whips and iron spears in his hands.

The Xia people once tried to stop him with iron ropes, but he broke all the iron ropes. In the end, they shot his mount first and then swarmed in to kill him.

For example, Wang Guangzu's father, Wang Gui, who died in the Battle of Haoshuichuan, "reentered the battle and killed hundreds of people in order to rescue Ren Fu. The iron whip was bent and the palms of his hands were cracked, but he fought with ease. The arrow in the horse,

In every three battles, Yuchi killed dozens of people. He was hit in the eye, but he returned, and he was killed in the night."

There are also two such fierce generals in the Western Army today: Fan Longshan, Liu Changzuo, and Yao Si and Yao Lin.

Such fierce generals were Su You's favorite, and Fan Longshan loved to show off. He often carried a leaf hammer and a tomahawk to show off his power, which made several of his fellow fierce generals jealous.

After Su You found out, he specially customized heavy weapons for the other three. Liu Changzuo got the current saber, Yao Si got a hand halberd, and Yao Lin got a concave four-edged steel mace.

Qifu Muyi knew that if he let the opponent attack, he would be unlucky today. He pounced again, and the blade went straight to Liu Changzuo's fragile neck.

However, Liu Changzuo flipped his hand, and with the flexibility that it should never have, the sword suddenly swept across, and with one stroke, it struck right on the center of the blade of Qifu Muyi's sword.

"Dang!" The difference between light and heavy weapons was fully demonstrated at this moment. The more than three kilograms of Qingfeng Dao faced the fifteen kilograms of Zhanma Dao. The sharp blade was immediately broken into a huge gap. The huge kinetic energy carried by Zhanma Dao

, and smashed Qifu Muyi's long knife toward the outer circle.

Qifu Muyi's tiger's mouth cracked, the door opened wide, and Liu Changzuo's broadsword struck again!

"Poof!" The heavy sword slashed from Qifu Muyi's left shoulder to his chest, slashing this one of the most powerful Xixia generals until he knelt down in the dust.

"Kill——" Liu Changzuo roared angrily, kicked his strong opponent over, and took a big step forward: "Jingyuan Army, approaching——"

"Kill!" Countless spears thrust out from behind the cover of the Sword and Shield Man, taking away a wave of Xia people's lives.

"Card - press the arrow - release!"

Amidst the rumbling drums, the steady and sharp voice of Su Chihuo, the commander of the Crane-shin Crossbow, rang out, "Boom--" This time the crossbow arrow's killing effect was maximized. The Xia people who were so brave just now were instantly killed by the fierce

The three-pointed crossbow arrows shot down countless people.

Liu Changzuo held a shield in one hand and a sword in the other. He still kept his pace in time with the drum beat and moved forward resolutely. When encountering resistance in front, he slashed through with his saber.

Along the way, everyone's armor was torn apart, and there was no enemy left.

Although Qifu Muyi's 5,000-man team tried their best to resist, they were eventually crushed by the high-spirited and well-equipped Song army and rushed back towards the Qinggang Xiazhai Fort.

The Song army was victorious and their momentum was like a rainbow. In an instant, they were forced to reach the village wall a hundred steps away.

Liang Yongneng's face was livid, he pressed his hand, "Bang bang bang -" Countless fist-sized stones were shot out from the wall and roared towards the Song army's camp.

Tornado Cannon!

From a high position, most of the Song army had entered the attack range of the Xia people, and countless arrows began to be fired.

During the Song Dynasty, the rhythm of the drums suddenly became faster, and a carriage pulled by four-horse horses rushed towards Guancheng.

"Shoot! Shoot those horses!" Liang Yongneng grabbed the crossbow of the soldier beside him, adjusted the wind direction, and shot towards the carriage.

Several cyclone cannons also adjusted their directions and attacked the carriage frantically.
