Chapter 172, 175, 176, This battle will destroy the country, a thousand cavalry defeat fifty thousand!
Lishan, Huaqing Palace.
Ouyang Feng walked along a winding and deep stone path, through a forest of towering pines and ancient cypresses, and found a clearing in the forest. He threw out two golden pills, made hand seals, and shouted softly: "Hurry!"
Suddenly, a golden light flashed in the air, and two ten-foot-tall, strong and sturdy giants in golden armor appeared out of thin air.
It is the technique of "scattering beans to create soldiers".
Although the pills used were those refined by Luo Gongyuan and Bukong Sanzang, the original spiritual thoughts in the pills had been dispelled and replaced by Ouyang Feng's. Naturally, the appearance of the two golden-armored giants had changed significantly.
The armor has become Ming Guang armor, and it is more gorgeous and majestic than the real Ming Guang armor. For example, the shoulder armor has been changed to a tiger head shape. The skirt armor has been extended to the ankles. Anyway, the armor is just a decoration, and it will not affect the strength of the soldier's body or his movement.
On their faces, each of them wore a mask with green face and fangs, which looked ferocious and ferocious.
These adjustments to the appearance details have no impact on the basic attributes of the Golden Armor Giant.
The power, speed, and intensity are the same as the two strong men and heavenly soldiers who had fought with Yang Yuhuan.
However, because their most critical "central processing unit" is completely different, even if the basic values are the same, their strengths are very different.
Following Ouyang Feng's order, two golden-armored giants took a step forward at the same time. One used one palm to push forward and performed the "Kang Long You Hui" move, and the other used both palms to perform the "Tui Shan Palm" move. When the palms collided, there was a loud bang, and an air shock wave exploded, which made the surrounding pine and cypress branches shake wildly and the leaves fell like rain.
After a palm-to-palm exchange, the two giants simultaneously performed their footwork, moving quickly in the forest with steps that were not graceful and nimble but steady and agile, chasing each other, while fighting with their palms and feet.
This situation looks like two giants who are proficient in martial arts are fighting each other.
Their strength is quite amazing.
When they only knew pure realistic mundane fighting skills, the power of their fists and feet was no less than that of Flying Eagle Qu Ao. Now that they were displaying advanced martial arts and using all kinds of exquisite force-generating techniques, their respective strengths were brought into full play. The power of each move was comparable to a full-strength attack from Flying Eagle Qu Ao.
The power of such an attack is enough to injure the three great masters if it hits them - although with the golden-armored giant's martial arts, he definitely cannot hit the three great masters.
After testing the mobility and martial arts of the golden-armored giants when they were operating autonomously, Ouyang Feng gave another order to test their ability to withstand blows.
So the two golden-armored giants stood still and did not move. One of them hit the other one in the chest and abdomen with his "Kang Long You Hui" palm, and the other one hit him back with his "Tui Shan Palm".
After a fight, Ouyang Feng came to the conclusion that the golden-armored giant's ability to withstand blows was greater than his attack power.
At least the golden-armored giant's blow was powerful enough to injure the three great masters. Although it could create large cracks or blast holes in each other's bodies, they would be filled with the essence of heaven and earth in the blink of an eye.
Such damage is of no use to the golden-armored giant.
The only thing that can cause real damage is a heavy blow that hits the core center exactly.
However, this kind of physical damage cannot immediately weaken the golden armored giant's mobility, it will only slightly damage the central core.
Only when the damage accumulates to the point where the spiritual thought collapses, can the golden-armored giant be defeated.
Before this, the condition of the golden-armored giant would not be affected in any way. Even if his vital parts were hit repeatedly, he could still be full of energy and keep fighting.
Test for a while.
Ouyang Feng thought to himself:
"If the core is not attacked and damaged, the golden giant can continue to operate for two hours. After that, it must be recovered and nurtured. Otherwise, the spiritual thoughts in the pill will collapse on their own..."
The spiritual thoughts in the pill will also be consumed to a certain extent when driving the golden-armored giant to move and absorbing the essence of heaven and earth to heal his injuries.
If it continues to run for more than the time limit, it may collapse due to excessive consumption, just like a person who has exhausted himself and died of exhaustion.
Of course, this time limit is not absolute.
As his spiritual cultivation continues to improve, the condensed spiritual thoughts will become stronger and stronger, and the core center will be constantly replaced with more tenacious and powerful spiritual thoughts, and the golden armored giant can continue to operate longer.
"In general, they are good assistants at this stage... In the future, we can assign them to tasks that require cutting through mountains and building bridges. On the battlefield... at least they can be used as mobile catapults or even mobile artillery platforms."
His technique of turning beans into soldiers would never collapse on the spot just because of the impact of the military formation's energy.
However, in a battlefield filled with a strong bloody atmosphere, the speed at which the mental thoughts in the core center are consumed would probably be much faster, and it would not be able to last for too long.
But even if it can only exist for a moment, whether charging a battle line or attacking a city, it can cause great shock and intimidation to the enemy.
Especially when sieging a city.
Even though the wolf riders had trained hard for several years and were equipped with double heavy armor and were invincible in field battles, they might not be able to withstand a rolling stone falling from the top of the city wall when attacking a city. If they were unlucky, they might have their brains smashed to pieces on the spot.
But if they use the "golden-armored heavenly soldiers" summoned by throwing beans to attack the city, the enemy troops on the city wall will be defeated on the spot after a few flying stones are thrown.
Moreover, the golden-armored heavenly soldiers are ten feet tall, so there is no need for ladders to climb the city. They can just run over and leap onto the top of the city wall. Then they can fight for a while, clear a section of the city wall, and create a safe passage for subsequent troops to climb the city wall. That would almost complete the mission.
After pondering over the various uses of the "Throwing Beans to Create Soldiers" technique, Ouyang Feng raised his hand and the two golden-armored giants turned into the essence of heaven and earth and dissipated on the spot. The remaining two longan-sized, golden pills fell back into his palm.
"Since I already know the method of refining and have sufficient materials, I can refine some more golden pills myself. Sister Yuhuan's innate true energy will soon be formed. With sufficient spiritual cultivation, she can also practice the art of turning beans into soldiers and prepare one or two golden pills for self-defense..."
After returning to Huaqing Palace, when Yang Yuhuan completed a refining, Ouyang Feng told her about refining the golden pill. Yang Yuhuan immediately went to the warehouse and prepared the materials for him personally.
A few days ago, she received countless gifts, including all kinds of gold, silver, gems, and precious medicinal materials.
Even the alchemy furnace is a top-grade one given by Master Luo.
After preparing all the materials, Ouyang Feng began to prepare them. He ground the gold, silver and precious stones into fine powder according to the refining requirements, and also prepared various medicinal materials according to the same method.
After that, the elixir will be refined in the furnace.
The process of alchemy is not mysterious at all, and does not have any of the charm of cultivating immortals. It is just a matter of lighting charcoal in the fire chamber of the alchemy furnace, and when the temperature in the reaction chamber rises to a certain level, various materials are put in according to the prescribed order, quantity, and timing.
Only after all the materials have been put in place, some mysterious rituals will need to be performed.
That is, walk around the alchemy furnace with the steps of the Gangbu Dou technique, make seals with the hands, and recite mantras.
This step requires a certain level of spiritual cultivation.
Every step you take, every seal you make, and every mantra you chant will consume a certain amount of mental energy.
If one's spiritual cultivation is not strong enough, one will become exhausted halfway through the process and faint on the ground, and the entire batch of pills will be considered a failure.
With Ouyang Feng's spiritual cultivation, he would not fail at this step.
However, it was his first time to refine the elixir, and he didn't know whether it was because he didn't control the temperature well in the early stage, or he made a mistake in the timing of putting in the materials, but the first attempt at refining the elixir failed. When the furnace was opened, only some gold and silver fragments were left in the furnace, and there was not a single finished pill.
Ouyang Feng was not discouraged. He used the Tongtian Baojian to replay the previous alchemy steps from the beginning, carefully examined them, summed up the experience and lessons, took a rest, and tried again.
After a busy night, he finally succeeded in refining a golden pill.
In the following days, Ouyang Feng's alchemy skills gradually improved, and he soon refined ten golden pills.
However, these ten golden pills can only be regarded as "embryos". They will only be successful if talismans are engraved on the surface of the golden pills.
And carving characters is not an easy task.
Not only does one have to be proficient in micro-carving techniques, but every stroke of the pen will also consume a considerable amount of effort when carving the characters.
Fortunately, carving characters does not need to be done in one go, it can be done slowly in multiple steps. Whenever your energy is exhausted to a certain extent, you can stop and rest, meditate to restore your energy, and then continue carving.
Luo Gongyuan and Bukong Sanzang have to concentrate on their work for more than a month to carve each golden pill, which is a very patient and time-consuming process.
With Ouyang Feng's control over himself, micro-carving is not a problem for him. With a little practice, he can meet the requirements of engraving talismans.
Moreover, his mind is strong and he recovers quickly, so he doesn't need to engrave it slowly like Luo Gongyuan and the others.
With his ability, he could complete one in just half a month by carving it in his spare time without interrupting his daily practice.
However, this matter was not urgent, and he could leave it to Huang Yaoshi, who was fond of these miscellaneous arts, after returning to the main world. So Ouyang Feng was not anxious or impatient, and leisurely used his spare time to carve the first golden pill he had refined.
Just when the carving work of this gold pill was nearing completion.
Yang Yuhuan finally transformed all of her "Taizhen Tianfei Jue" true qi into innate true qi.
……
In the hot spring pool of Huaqing Palace.
Yang Yuhuan, who had just celebrated with Ouyang Feng, had a flushed face and slightly closed eyes. She lay lazily on him, her body so soft that it seemed as if she had no bones left.
Ouyang Feng gently stroked her smooth and tender skin, his palm lingered on her plump buttocks for a long time, and said slowly:
"If Sister Yuhuan has some free time, you can pick a few loyal and sensible female Taoist children who have no family background to teach them martial arts. If there are villains who are blind in the future, you don't have to personally deal with everything."
"Ah, can I teach disciples too?"
"Of course. Your martial arts skills are already considered a master's in some worlds."
Before she cultivated her innate true qi, Yang Yuhuan's martial arts skills were already as good as Lin Chaoying's when she first met Ouyang Feng.
At that time, Lin Chaoying's martial arts had already reached the level of one of the five unique martial arts masters.
Now Yang Yuhuan has cultivated the innate true qi, and her spiritual perception has evolved, which has increased her supernatural powers and her strength has reached a higher level. Not to mention in this world without extraordinary martial arts, even in the world of The Legend of the Condor Heroes, it would be no problem for her to occupy a famous mountain and establish a sect.
Even in the world of The Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty, one can gain a foothold by becoming a powerful person in a county and founding a sect that dominates the county.
"Since you allow me to teach you martial arts, I will teach a few disciples."
"In the future, when there are more and more descendants of my sister, and the martial arts are widely spread, people in later generations will trace the origins of martial arts, and my sister will be the ancestor of martial arts in this world."
"I don't deserve that. You taught me all my martial arts. You are the true ancestor of martial arts. If I can live to see the day when martial arts are widely spread in the world and people in later generations want to build a temple for the 'Martial Ancestor', I will definitely let them build your statue in the temple. As for me, I will be satisfied to be a companion to you!"
"Of course you will live to see that day..."
As they talked, Yang Yuhuan became unconsciously moved and began to kiss him passionately again.
a few days later.
Ouyang Feng completed the carving of the first golden pill and gave it to Yang Yuhuan. He asked her to condense her spiritual thoughts for the golden pill using the technique of "casting beans into soldiers". He then partied with her all night and returned to the main world the next morning.
After returning to the main world, he continued to make intensive preparations for the conquest of Western Xia.
After the autumn harvest, Ouyang Feng personally led a thousand wolf riders, each with three horses, and carried military rations with the help of the Nawu Talisman. They marched day and night to attack Shazhou, and conquered the almost defenseless Shazhou City in one battle. After that, they did not advance any further, but stationed in Shazhou City, waiting for the arrival of further troops.
Half a month later.
Ouyang Lie personally led 30,000 miscellaneous troops and marched to Shazhou.
At this time, Western Xia also received news of the invasion by Gaochang Kingdom, and the whole country was shocked.
When Li Renxiao, the ruler of Western Xia who is still alive today, first heard the news, he thought it was just a joke - it was unknown whether the small Gaochang could gather a population of 500,000 across the country, so how could they have the courage to actively attack our Great Xia Kingdom?
After confirming that the news was no joke and that Gaochang had indeed invaded Daxia and captured Shazhou, and had also confiscated the nobles' farms and pastures in Shazhou, freed slaves, and even divided the land, Li Renxiao fell into a long silence.
After the silence, there was extreme embarrassment and uncontrollable anger - it was okay that the Song and Jin kingdoms attacked me in the past, but how could you, a small Gaochang Kingdom affiliated with the Western Liao Dynasty, have the courage to take the initiative to attack my Great Xia?
In anger, Li Renxiao immediately issued an edict, ordering the clan general Weiming Linggong to lead an army of 50,000 to rush to the rescue of Shazhou, and ordered that this battle should not only drive the Gaochang army out of Shazhou, but also pursue the enemy to the north, counterattack Gaochang Kingdom and even capture Gaochang City, kill all Gaochang royal family members, and reduce all captured Gaochang people to slaves, so as to completely destroy Gaochang Kingdom.
In Li Renxiao's opinion, given Gaochang's pitiful national strength, a full-scale attack by 50,000 troops would be enough to destroy the country and exterminate the race.
The reason why Gaochang was not attacked in the past was simply because Gaochang had too little resources and was a vassal state of Western Liao. For the sake of Western Liao's face, people were too lazy to send troops to Gaochang.
But now that Gaochang dared to provoke Daxia, Daxia had a legitimate excuse to destroy this small country and take over its territory.
Although everyone in Western Xia was shocked by the news of Gaochang's proactive invasion, no one really took Gaochang seriously.
Weiming Linggong, a royal family general who was ordered to lead the army, could not help but laugh at the Gaochang generals for their ignorance of military affairs when he learned that the Gaochang army was still stationed in Shazhou, confiscating the nobles' fields and estates everywhere, freeing slaves, and even distributing the confiscated land to the poor and slaves.
"When a small country bullies a big country, it must act quickly and seize the opportunity before the big country gathers its troops to counterattack. It's ridiculous that Gaochang people actually want to take root in Shazhou and annex one state of our Great Xia country! They are just a bunch of fools who don't know their place!"
Duke Weiming was full of confidence, thinking that the feat of defeating the army and destroying the country was a sure thing.
However, they didn't know that Ouyang Feng stationed his troops in Shazhou to wait for the Western Xia army. He wanted to take advantage of the situation and then fight a decisive battle. With a grand battle formation, he could annihilate one of the main forces of the Western Xia and show his power.
……
Early winter.
Weiming Linggong finally arrived in Shazhou with an army of 50,000.
To be honest, in this day and age, there are not many generals who can lead an army of 50,000.
Because the monarchs of Song, Jin and Xia were all peace-loving and not fond of war, there had been no war between the three kingdoms for many years.
For example, Li Renxiao, the ruler of Western Xia, had been in power for more than fifty years.
During his reign, he vigorously promoted civil governance, established schools, and promoted the imperial examination system. Under his rule, Confucian education in Western Xia entered an era of unprecedented prosperity.
It also pledged loyalty to the Jin Dynasty, reconciled with the Song Dynasty, and traded with the Western Regions, the Jin Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty. Its economy became unprecedentedly prosperous, changing the image of Western Xia as a country with a strong military but a poor country, and becoming a prosperous country that was envied by all the states and tribes in the Western Regions.
But Western Xia was, after all, just a small country with a population of about two million and limited resources. If it vigorously developed culture and economy, it would inevitably neglect military preparations.
The fighting power of Xixia, once a regional hegemon, has declined sharply over the past few decades.
The situation of the Song and Jin countries was similar. Both countries had not fought for many years and their combat effectiveness had seriously declined.
For example, the State of Song.
In another world line, when the Song Dynasty launched the Kaixi Northern Expedition in the future, it could only find 617 strong men who could wear a full set of infantry armor among the imperial guards.
The situation in Xia and Jin was not much better than that in Song. When Duke Weiming was gathering his troops, Li Renxiao also held a military parade in Xingqing Prefecture to demonstrate his military strength and appease the people.
Unexpectedly, the once-famous Iron Harriers could no longer muster more than a thousand brave men who could wear a full set of "wart armor" and charge on horseback.
There were even quite a few Tangut noble sons who forged their armor, and the scales of their wart-like armor were actually painted wood chips.
At first, Li Renxiao thought that these noble children were unable to endure hardship and could not wear armor, but after careful inspection, he found that the wart armor that had been passed down from generation to generation in these noble children's families was actually missing.
When asked where their armor had gone, they all insisted that they had not been seen in war for decades and their armor was not properly maintained, so it had been completely decayed for many years.
Li Renxiao had no way to deal with this, and it was even difficult to investigate further - the soldiers of the Iron Harriers were all the sons of the Tangut nobles of the Pingxia tribe. And the Xixia royal family was from the Pingxia tribe. The Pingxia tribe was the base of the Xixia royal family, so how could Li Renxiao start a large-scale prison against his own foundation?
In the end, all they could do was to beat the noble sons whose armor was "rotten" with a stick and punish them by turning them into oxen, horses, and slaves.
If even the Iron Harriers were in such a rotten state, one could imagine the condition of the other armies.
The 50,000 troops brought by Weiming Linggong this time were almost all young men who had never experienced a major war.
Even Weiming Linggong himself had never led so many soldiers at one time.
His war experience was limited to minor skirmishes with grassland bandit tribes that raided the valleys on the northern border.
Thanks to the great military talent of Weiming Linggong, although there were constant troubles on the march, he still led the 50,000 troops to Shazhou relatively smoothly, and the casualties during the march were not too great.
Although the army's performance was not satisfactory, Weiming Linggong was still full of confidence.
The Daxia army is a little weak now, but at least it once had a strong military tradition, and the glory of its ancestors can still give the men the confidence to fight bravely.
What is Gaochang?
What on earth is Gaochang’s army?
In the eyes of Weiming Linggong, no matter how weak the army under his command was, a charge of 50,000 soldiers would be enough to completely defeat the Gaochang army.
What we need to worry about now is what to do if the Gaochang army hides in the city and refuses to come out, defending the city.
The Daxia army has not fought a siege battle for many years.
With the current composition of the Daxia army, there are few generals with experience in siege warfare.
If they attack the city, even if the Gaochang army is weak, it will inevitably cause heavy casualties to the Xia army.
Just as Weiming Linggong was sitting in the military tent, thinking about how to provoke the Gaochang army to fight in the field.
The messenger entered the tent and reported that the Gaochang army had sent someone to issue a declaration of war.
Weiming Linggong was overjoyed and summoned the messenger who had issued the declaration of war into his tent, but he turned out to be a captured Tangut noble from Shazhou.
As soon as he saw Weiming Linggong, he fell to the ground and burst into tears, wailing that the Gaochang army was simply a group of barbarians who had raided his house, released his slaves, divided up his property and land, and also divided up his concubines. After telling him about his family's miserable situation, he kowtowed and begged Weiming Linggong to take charge of the matter, charge into Shazhou City, and massacre all the Gaochang army.
Weiming Linggong listened patiently for a while, but when he saw that the man was just crying and wailing, he finally lost his patience and said:
"Where is the declaration of war from the Gaochang Army?"
The Tangut nobleman finally reacted and took out a scroll from his arms. His personal soldiers stepped forward to take the scroll and presented it to Weiming Linggong.
Duke Weiming took it and unfolded it. He saw that the declaration of war written on the silk was an appointment for a battle outside Shacheng Prefecture at noon tomorrow. The declaration of war not only had the signature of the King of Gaochang, but also the seal of the King of Gaochang. Duke Weiming was immediately overjoyed and laughed:
"I was still thinking about how to provoke the Gaochang army into a battle, but I didn't expect them to dare to challenge me! They are simply courting death! Pass on my military order, the army will slaughter cattle and sheep tonight, and make sure every soldier has enough to eat. Tomorrow we will cook at 5 ., and leave the camp at dawn to fight the Gaochang army!"
……
"Second brother, how should we fight tomorrow's battle?"
As the battle was approaching, Ouyang Lie was worried and asked Ouyang Feng for advice.
Although from the intelligence obtained by the secret spy camp, it seems that the Western Xia army is somewhat unworthy of its reputation, the quality of the soldiers is worrying, the military discipline is not strict, and it is not as powerful as the legend says, but the Western Xia is a big country after all. It has fought against the Song Dynasty, the Liao Dynasty, and the Jin Dynasty. It has stood firm to this day and is even becoming more prosperous.
Now that 50,000 Western Xia troops are coming, Ouyang Lie thinks that he should rely on the city defense to consume the morale and manpower of the Western Xia army, and wait until the Western Xia army's morale is crushed, the soldiers are tired, and the food and grass are exhausted, and then wait for an opportunity to counterattack.
Unexpectedly, Ouyang Feng actually sent a letter to challenge the Western Xia army to a battle in the wild.
No matter how weak the Western Xia army's combat effectiveness is today, it is still an army of 50,000 with a strong military tradition.
As for the Gaochang Army, apart from the Wolf Riders who were a strong force that had been trained hard for many years, the remaining 30,000 soldiers were either rescued pastoral slaves or miscellaneous soldiers recruited from Baituo Mountain, Gaochang City, and various tribes.
Although every soldier can ride a horse, shoot arrows, and wield a scimitar, and are basically equipped with leather armor or thick leather jackets and thick cotton-padded clothes, and there are also thousands of "elite" wearing heavy armor, this army can only fight a favorable battle, but they can forget about fighting a tough and difficult battle.
Perhaps if the Western Xia army only charged once, the 30,000-strong army would completely collapse and scatter.
"How do we fight? It's very simple. I have a thousand wolf riders. I have the advantage in this battle."
Seeing Ouyang Lie's nervous look, Ouyang Feng smiled slightly and patted his brother's shoulder:
"After the battle starts tomorrow, I will lead the wolf cavalry to charge and break through the formation, kill the general and seize the flag. Brother, you can lead 30,000 cavalry to expand the victory and chase the enemy north. We will try to wipe out the 50,000 Xixia troops tomorrow."
Listening to Ouyang Feng's nonchalant tone, looking at his confident smile, and thinking about the great power he had displayed since he was a child and the incredible miracles he had created time and time again, Ouyang Lie's nervousness suddenly disappeared.
My second brother is right. How difficult is it to fight a war?
The enemy has only 50,000 troops. We have my second brother and a thousand wolf riders, so of course the advantage is on my side!
Ouyang Lie then smiled confidently and punched his brother's shoulder:
"Then tomorrow, I will lead the troops and follow you to expand the victory!"
……
woo-
The desolate sound of the horn continued to ring across the vast wilderness.
The two armies marched towards the agreed battlefield. Looking down from the sky, they looked like two huge black tides flowing towards each other.
Although both armies slowed down their horses and marched in small steps, the sound of horses' hooves was still like rolling thunder, and the smoke and dust raised still covered the sky and the earth.
Three quarters of a hour.
The two armies could already look at each other from a distance.
In the Xia army.
A scout on horseback galloped up to Lord Weiming and reported to him one after another:
"General, there are no ambushes within 20 miles to the north!"
"General, there are no ambush troops in the 20 miles to the south!"
"General, the gates of Shazhou City are wide open. The enemy army seems to have come out in full force. The entire army is here!"
"General, the Gaochang army only has a few thousand elite soldiers wearing armor, and most of the rest are only wearing leather armor or even leather jackets. Their weapons are only miscellaneous brands of scimitars and bows and arrows. I also saw quite a few young boys and old men in the rear army..."
"General..."
After listening to the reports from the scouts, Weiming Linggong couldn't help but show a hint of surprise in his eyes.
He originally thought that the Gaochang army had some trick in challenging him to a battle, and that they had ambushed one or more troops in secret.
But he didn't expect that the Gaochang army would be so honest and would really come out in full force to fight him face to face.
"I've really lost my mind..."
Weiming Linggong said to himself, although the soldiers of my Great Xia army are a little weak, they are just young boys who have never experienced a big war, but at least they are young and strong, and their equipment is also excellent.
Your Gaochang army has even sent young boys and fifty-year-old men into battle, but there are only a few thousand armored soldiers, and the total force is about 10,000 or 20,000 less than mine. Why do you dare to fight me?
Are the ruler and generals of Gaochang all crazy?
"This is simply a merit that comes right to our doorstep! If we destroy this army, we can easily wipe out Gaochang!"
Just as Weiming Linggong was about to give the order to send out two light cavalry to harass the enemy's flanks and see if there was a chance to destroy the enemy's flank in one blow, a deafening horn suddenly sounded from the opposite enemy army.
Immediately, a group of armored cavalry slowly accelerated, broke away from the enemy force, and rushed straight towards the Western Xia army.
Seeing that the cavalry was only about a thousand, and the direction of their attack was the most powerful and elite central army, Weiming Linggong couldn't help but laugh:
"What kind of fighting style is this? Are you trying to imitate Guan Yu and kill a general in the midst of thousands of troops? Unfortunately, I am not Yan Liang!"
He gave an order, waved the flag, blew the horn, and immediately two light cavalry units came forward. They did not engage in direct confrontation with the cavalry unit, but simply passed by its flanks, harassing them with bows and arrows in an attempt to disrupt their formation.
But unexpectedly, when the two light cavalry passed by, after a round of arrow rain, no one in the enemy's formation fell off their horses. Instead, the powerful arrows flying from the enemy's formation shot down more than a hundred of their own light cavalry.
Seeing this, Weiming Linggong was slightly startled: "Armored cavalry?"
But how could the armored cavalry rush so fast?
Even though the Western Regions are rich in fine horses, and even if all of those more than a thousand cavalrymen were riding the famous Western horses, the charging speed of the armored cavalry should not be so fast, it's almost the same as that of light cavalry!
Just as he was wondering, the thunderous sound of hooves came, making the ground tremble slightly. The iron cavalry of more than a thousand men and horses, all wearing black armor, had already rushed to the front of the Xixia formation within an arrow's reach.
Weiming Linggong suppressed his doubts, waved his flag and gave orders, and suddenly thousands of arrows were fired from the Western Xia camp. The overwhelming powerful arrows covered the more than a thousand enemy cavalry like a swarm of locusts.
This time it finally worked. At least dozens of enemy horses were hit by arrows and fell down.
But what shocked Weiming Linggong was that when the horses fell, the cavalrymen actually jumped off the saddles, landed steadily on the ground, and then ran as fast as arrows with their weapons in hand!
Moreover, their running speed was not inferior to that of other cavalrymen at all, and they did not disrupt their own cavalry formation by walking!
"how is this possible?"
Wei Ming Ling Gong took a breath of cold air.
Wearing heavy armor, he can still run so fast, is he still a human being?
Before he could come to his senses, the more than a thousand cavalrymen had already collided head-on with a group of Xia cavalry who had taken the initiative to meet them.
Then, under the incredulous gaze of Wei Ming Ling Gong, the Xia cavalry was crushed into pieces like a hot knife cutting butter...
Ouyang Feng, wearing a black light armor and holding a Moon Wolf Spear, led the charge.
On the left and right sides were Wang Wu, who was also wearing heavy armor and holding a copper stick, and Ma Yue, who was holding a horse lance.
The enemy cavalry rushed towards him, and Ouyang Feng swung out the Moon Wolf Spear with one hand. After being repaired, the heavy steel spear, which weighed more than 108 kilograms, was swung in the air with a thunderous whistle. With just one strike, the enemy cavalry in front of him was knocked back along with their horses, and the two cavalrymen behind him were knocked down in succession.
When Ouyang Feng attacked, Ma Yue also thrust out with his spear, piercing the heart of an enemy rider. Then he lightly lifted the enemy rider and sent him flying, knocking the rider behind him off his horse.
Wang Wu swung up the copper stick and swept it with all his might, knocking down two enemy cavalrymen with one blow.
The three men who led the charge were invincible, and the wolf riders behind them were also brave, cutting down the enemy riders like cutting melons and vegetables, and the thousands of enemy riders who came to intercept them collapsed in the blink of an eye. Ouyang Feng rushed into the enemy's formation, and together with Wang Wu and Ma Yue, they upset the enemy's formation, tore open a gap, and rushed towards the Xixia central army and the main general's flag.
No one could stop the charge of Ouyang Feng, Wang Wu and Ma Yue.
No one could stop the thousand wolf riders for a moment.
Wherever this black cavalry passed, blood and flying body parts filled the air. It was like a demon dragon with black scales and bloody claws, tearing through all obstacles with overwhelming force and heading straight for the enemy commander.
Wei Ming Ling Gong guessed correctly.
Ouyang Feng was indeed imitating Guan Yu.
Although he, Wei Ming Ling Gong, is not Yan Liang, his fate is not much better than Yan Liang's.
Or even worse.
After Yan Liang was killed, only a small army was defeated. For Yuan Shao, who had a large number of soldiers and generals, this loss was not insignificant, but it was not a serious blow either.
However, the army led by Weiming Linggong was 50,000 elite troops of Western Xia.
In the entire Western Xia, there are only more than 100,000 main forces.
If we lose 50,000 troops in one battle, it will be a serious blow even for a powerful country like Western Xia!
Boom!
The horses' hooves are like thunder.
More than a thousand wolf riders were unstoppable. Led by Ouyang Feng, Wang Wu and Ma Yue, they penetrated the numerous defenses of the Western Xia army like tearing through pieces of thin paper and headed straight for the flag of General Weiming Linggong.
Weiming Linggong's personal troops went forward to meet the enemy bravely.
In an instant, it was crushed into pieces.
Wei Ming Ling Gong's hands and feet were cold, and he wanted to ride his horse to escape, but Ouyang Feng had already jumped up from the horse's back, flying ten feet across like a roc, stabbed Wei Ming Ling Gong's neck with a spear, and with a twist of his wrist, he knocked his head off.
Then he swept the spear horizontally, knocking down Weiming Linggong's flag, and then grabbed a spear from the air and lifted Weiming Linggong's head high.
The Western Xia central army, which had already been shaken by the wolf cavalry and was in chaos and had no idea how to advance or retreat, was instantly defeated.
The left and right wings were confused, but when they saw the center collapse, they couldn't help but collapse as well.
Just when the Xia army was about to be defeated, a loud trumpet sounded in the Gaochang army. The ragtag army, which could only fight with the wind, finally went out under the leadership of Ouyang Lie and began to beat the fallen dog.
Fighting is sometimes really easy.
