Chapter 1,296 Tragedy

Ye Chanma knew that he could not stay here, so he rushed forward with his troops, not hoping to outrun the fire leader, but only hoping to outrun the growing number of robes gathering behind him.

"Crack——" The most frightening thing happened for Ye Canma. The ice surface of the river finally fell apart because it could not bear too much Xia Jun!

Countless Xia troops fell into the water, and the cold river water poured into their robes filled with reed flowers and withered grass, suddenly becoming extremely cumbersome and making their struggle in vain.

The ice on the river surface broke apart in two directions along the river from where the Xia people gathered, and the river water found an outlet and spurted out from the cracks in the ice.

Ye Canma and his troops were about to run to the safety of the ice, when suddenly several crazy horses with fire rushed over from the shore and ran in front of them!

"Crack, click, click -" The ice surface was shattered by the iron hooves of the fierce horse in a blink of an eye. The war horse and Ye Canma screamed pitifully and fell into the icy water.

The Jialu River, which is more than ten miles away, is surrounded by roaring fires with swirling flames and shadows on both sides. In the middle is the biting ice and river water. Tens of thousands of Xia people suffered and struggled in this hell of ice and fire, and finally died in pain.

die.

In the early morning, Wang Zhongzheng rode his horse and came to Siguidu, surrounded by the people around him.

A firebreak has already been opened here, sandbags have been piled on the ice, and a barbed wire fence has been pulled up in front. Thousands of Song troops armed with crane-shank crossbows guard the only gap.

The galloping horses and bulls last night have been gathered up by the Tibetan people in the rear. Grandma Wang has made a big profit. The specific figures have not been reported yet, but the number is no less than 50,000 horses and 70,000 cattle and sheep!

Mist and soot drifted from the river, like black snowflakes, falling on the shoulders of the group.

Behind the barbed wire in front, countless dead people and dead horses with crossbow arrows piled up at the exit were already stiff.

"Is it over?" Wang Zhongzheng looked hesitantly at the fog-shrouded valley in front of him: "The fire is burning very fast, isn't it?"

Zhe Keda, who commanded the Song army to fire crossbows all night long, paid a military salute to Wang Zhongzheng: "To tell you, Captain, after Mao hour, no Xia people will rush into the formation."

Wang Zhongzheng looked at the piled corpses in front of him: "Well done, there are thousands of heads here."

With a wave of his hand wearing a thick sheepskin glove, the fan cavalry behind him rushed out and swept along the two banks where the ashes of Mars were still scattered, cleaning up the battlefield.

After thousands of cavalry entered the river, Wang Zhongzheng led the Tibetan generals and rode forward at a leisurely pace.

Both sides of the riverbank were scorched black, the dense twigs were gone, and thick smoke was still rising in many places.

The air was filled with a strange smell, the smell of meat, but it was an unpleasant, depressing smell of meat.

The horse's hoof stepped on something in the ashes and jumped away nimbly, causing Wang Zhongzheng to stumble.

Wang Zhongzheng lowered his head and saw that there was a half-burnt corpse in the ashes, with a terrifying mouth open and stiff hands stretched out, like an evil ghost in hell.

"I... I'm a straight bitch..." Wang Zhongzheng suddenly felt his stomach churning: "I'm planting five pits! This fire is too big for my mother!"

For this ambush, Zhonge carefully designed an arson route for Wang Zhongzheng, and also assigned him thirty carriages pulling heavy-fire oil tanks. He set it off overnight, and the effect completely exceeded Wang Zhongzheng's greatest expectations.

At this time, the thick fog finally dispersed, and the leader of the Xinjiang Fan people accompanying Wang Zhongzheng pointed forward: "Captain, look!"

"I..." Wang Zhongzheng only glanced at it, and could no longer suppress the churning in his stomach: "Ugh——"

The tragedy is unbearable to watch.

Heading south from Siguidu, wherever you look, there are charred dead people and horses on both sides of the river, but the even more terrifying situation is in the middle of the river!

Countless soldiers, war horses, herds of cattle, and sheep were scattered along the river at high and low places. They were frozen by the severe cold and turned into ice sculptures. One by one, they still maintained the posture of struggling in pain when they were dying!

Wang Zhongzheng rolled off his horse and hugged a dead willow tree by the river. He vomited and shouted: "You bitch! Look at the evil you have done!"

"Ugh - if I are held accountable by Your Majesty, I won't let you go even if I'm a ghost! What kind of straight mother-in-law's Siguidu is this! This is obviously a dead ghost crossing... Ugh -"

…

"Ah sneeze!" Zhong E did not respond to Wang Zhongzheng at all along the Mingtang River on the west bank. As early as last night, when Grandma Wang was still setting fire to Jialu River, he had already led his army to attack Youzhou in the wind and snow.

While Grandma Wang was holding an old willow tree by the Jialu River and vomiting wildly, the army on the east route had already passed through Xiazhou, and even Jing Siyi and Shen Kuo who were guarding the city didn't know it.

Zhong E didn't want to waste the absolute force of the He Controlling Army in the hands of Grandma Wang, so he simply took Tong Guan and Sun Neng and fled in advance!

"A hundred years old!" Tong Guan was controlling the horse galloping beside Zhong E. When he heard Zhong E sneezing, he immediately responded.

"What's weird about this, Supervisor?"

Tong Guan chuckled and said: "In the third year of Jiayou's reign, Wang Yi sent to Liao Dynasty. The Queen Mother of Rong Lord sneezed, and all the ministers shouted "Zhi Duoli"."

"Translated, it means 'Long Live'. Somehow, this custom spread to Bianjing City."

Although the leather jacket was thick, Zhonger still felt cold, so he stuffed the towel around his neck tighter and pulled up a piece to cover his mouth and nose, so that the air sucked into his nasal cavity would be warmer and moister: "Nonsense!"

Tong Guan also followed the same example and laughed loudly: "Maybe it's Wang Dujian who is talking about you. It's hard to tell."

Zhong E smiled evilly and said: "Don't he complain all the time that he is doing the work of Juzicang nursing home and not getting much money? I gave him 50,000 heads. With such great achievements, he should stop making trouble this time, right?"

"

Sun Neng said on the other side: "I'm afraid that Taiwei Wang won't be able to smell barbecue for another three months..."

The army, with one man and three cavalry, galloped for three hundred miles. At dusk the next day, they had already reached the gates of Youzhou City.

The defenders of Youzhou had no idea that Zhong'e would descend like a divine soldier from the sky. They didn't even have time to close the city gate before being captured by Zhong'e.

The city was extremely empty, with only Qian Xia's army, which was quickly disarmed by Sun Neng's crane-controlling army.

Zhong E captured the leader and interrogated him, only to find out that Liang Yongneng and the Weiming Army had already set off to ambush Liu Changzuo.

Youzhou City is also one of the key cellars of Xixia. Zhonge asked the prisoners to lead the way, and soon found the granary at Naiwangjing and Zuo Cunze in the northwest of Youzhou.

There were also a thousand cavalry troops stationed here, and they were easily captured by Zhonge.

The cavalry leader's status was much higher than that of the city guard. Under interrogation, Zhonge learned more detailed information.

Liang Yongneng has led an army of 40,000 people and has been marching westward for three days!

Opening the military map, he looked at the 200-mile road from Youzhou to Pule City: "You underestimate the enemy too much. Liang Yongneng is definitely not alone. Maybe Liu Datou has already been made a dumpling by now!"

Tong Guan said: "Lieutenant, the army has been attacking for two days and one night. How about we let the men rest for one night? We will rescue them tomorrow?"

Zhong E shook his head and slapped the side of his leather boots with his horsewhip: "Soldiers are very fast. If we attack now, we can catch Liang Yongneng off guard. By the time we send troops tomorrow, I'm afraid he will have already heard the news and is fully prepared."

"Sun Neng!"

"exist!"

"Can the Crane Control Army still attack?"

Sun Neng stood at attention and said: "Change the horses! No food, only bullets and muskets, no problem! You can also take advantage of our army's night fighting!"

"Okay!" Zhong'e looked at him: "Those who can still run, as well as the Xia people's cavalry here, are all for you! Except for the thunder cannon that can't be pulled, take the rest with you."

"There is no need to save money. After this battle, our front line has advanced to the plains. It will no longer be difficult to transport the baggage from Weizhou! I will definitely lead the army to meet you at noon tomorrow!"

He reached out and patted Sun Neng on the shoulder: "The Western Army is of the same spirit. Back then, your father, Liu Datou's father, and Yao Laoer's father were all uncle Qiu Ba who stirred the horse in a big pot."

"I originally said that after the reunion, we would all have a drink and have fun together and introduce the brothers to you, but I didn't expect that you would meet in advance like this."

"Qianchen, please rescue them. I don't want them to go to the Martyrs' Shrine so early and cry to their father that I didn't take good care of them. Do you understand?"

Sun Neng hit his chest with his right fist and solemnly promised: "Don't worry, Lieutenant Commander, even if you want to go, I will follow you and keep an eye on them because they dare not sue the Lieutenant!"

"You donkey!" Zhong'e rarely showed his emotions for a moment. In a blink of an eye, his flesh was completely destroyed by the hob. He raised his leg and kicked Sun Neng staggering: "There must be no taboos for those who study science and engineering? Hurry up and sort it out.
