Chapter 326 Jiang Yan: Your Concubines Are Very Moist

…

On this day, all the armies of the Yuan Dynasty issued military orders: prepare food at three o'clock, organize the army at four o'clock, and attack at five o'clock.

All the soldiers followed the order, wearing armor and saddled horses, and more than 100,000 troops were ready for a decisive battle.

The coalition forces on the other side of the river were also ready for a decisive battle.

At dawn, Jiang Hongfei led the army to the plains and wilderness, and ordered the generals and horses to spread out, shoot the fallen feet with strong bows and crossbows, beat the colorful drums, and wave the colorful embroidered flags.

Not long after, a large group of troops came out from the other side of the Qingshui River. There were two rows of generals in front, and a tall and burly man in the middle, wearing a golden crown with gold characters, a white silk robe, a red belt, a hanging fish, three mountains of red pendants, a rhinoceros jade knife, and sewn black boots. He was the emperor of the Liao Empire, Yelu Yanxi.

According to the plan made in advance by Jiang Hongfei and his ministers, Ruan Xiaoqi brought the Qigong practitioners of the Khitan, Mongolian, and Dangxiang tribes who knew the secret art of sound transmission to the front of the battle.

Then, Ruan Xiaoqi used the secret art of voice transmission to say loudly:

"Tianzuo, listen, an open man should not do shady things. I have slept with your queen, your first concubine, and your six daughters, concubines, daughters-in-law, and clan women. I have slept with most of them.

Now Yanyunping is in my hands. The imperial seal of your Liao Kingdom and the treasures accumulated by your Liao Kingdom for more than 200 years are all in my hands.

The hatred between you and me is as deep as the sea.

Don't say that I won't give you a chance to avenge your hatred and wipe out your previous shame.

I heard that you have been practicing since you were young, ignoring the government for many years, and have been improving your own strength.

I think this is a joke that makes people laugh. If you are really such a hero, how could you be chased from north to south by the Jurchens, and from east to west by the Jurchens, and the Jurchens also dug up your Khitan ancestral tombs?

Tianzuo, if you were still a man, you would still If you want to seek revenge for the seizure of your wife and daughter, and the public humiliation, come to the front alone, and I will fight you one-on-one.

I swear to heaven, if you win, my Yuan Dynasty will immediately withdraw from Yanyunping, and return your concubines, daughters, imperial seals, and the royal and clan members of your Liao Kingdom to you, so that you can fight the Jurchens again. If I die in your hands, I will give you my life.

Do you dare to come out and fight? ! ! ! "

After Ruan Xiaoqi shouted, those Qigong masters of the Khitan, Mongolian, and Xixia ethnic groups who knew the secret art of sound transmission began to shout one by one in Khitan, Mongolian, and Dangxiang: "Tianzuo, listen..."

The few people that Ruan Xiaoqi found were all proficient in the secret art of sound transmission, and they were eloquent. In this open and unobstructed place, every word of their words could be clearly transmitted to the ears of all the coalition soldiers.

Yelü Yanxi could naturally hear Jiang Hongfei's provocation.

Don't hit someone in the face, don't expose someone's shortcomings when you scold him.

Yelu Yanxi's experiences can't be said to be too embarrassing, but there is nothing more embarrassing than this. If it were another emperor with a bit of dignity, he would have ended his life long ago if he had ended up like Yelu Yanxi.

The key is that Jiang Hongfei's people said it in public.

It can be said that this is a slap in the face of Yelu Yanxi.

Yelu Yanxi was ashamed and angry!

Not only Yelu Yanxi was ashamed and angry, but Jiang Hongfei's words actually involved the Khitans and even all the Liao people, so most of the coalition soldiers were also ashamed and angry!

The Khitans, no, not just the Khitans, it should be said that all the coalition soldiers hoped that Yelu Yanxi would be a man for once, go out to fight Jiang Hongfei to avenge the victory and the defeat, and avenge the previous shame! ! !

But how could Yelu Yanxi have the courage to do so?

Yelu Yanxi, who had specially sent people to investigate Jiang Hongfei, knew that Jiang Hongfei was both civil and military, and was once known as "the first Qigong master of the Song Dynasty" and "the Qigong master with divine roots".

Yelu Yanxi thought: "A gentleman should not stand under a dangerous wall, and how can a gem be burned with a bad stone? I am the orthodox emperor of the Liao Dynasty, how can I fight a life and death with a reckless man?"

Thinking of this, Yelu Yanxi gritted his teeth and said to Li Liangfu: "Defeat the Han thieves and capture Jiang Yan, and I will give Xijing to you Xia Kingdom!" Then he loudly offered a reward: "Whoever can capture Jiang Yan, I will reward 100,000 cattle, horses and sheep, and make him a marquis of ten thousand households!"

Yelu Yanxi did not dare to fight Jiang Hongfei himself, but only dared to let these soldiers fight for their lives, which undoubtedly broke the morale of the coalition soldiers.

This is actually one of the reasons why Jiang Hongfei mocked Yelu Yanxi.

Li Liangfu was the most outstanding general of Xixia, and he had rich experience in battle. When he saw that Yelu Yanxi did not dare to fight, he knew that something bad was going to happen.

Seeing the resentment, frustration, contempt, and disappointment on the faces of the allied soldiers, Li Liangfu was more certain of his feelings.

In order to prevent these emotions from spreading, Li Liangfu made a prompt decision: "Capture Jiang Yan alive, reward him with 100,000 cattle, horses, and sheep, and make him a marquis of 10,000 households! Charge!"

After saying this, Li Liangfu winked at Li Qianrui, the commander-in-chief of the Xixia Iron Harriers.

Iron Harriers, also known as the Iron Harrier Army. Cavalry of the Dangxiang Pingxia tribe of Xixia. A total of 3,000 people, divided into ten teams, all composed of the sons and confidants of the Dangxiang Qiang nobles and chieftains, riding the best spiritual horses, wearing the world's first spiritual armor, the wart armor, which could not be penetrated by stabbing and chopping. Their soldiers were tied to the horses with hooks and ropes, and they would not fall to the ground even if they died. They could gallop on the plains and wilderness. In battle, they were often used for charging and attacking.

The Iron Harriers were undoubtedly the strongest army of the time and played an important role in the history of Western Xia. They were the trump card army of Western Xia and also the famous army of Western Xia. They participated in many wars between Western Xia and Song, Liao, Jin, Mongolia and other countries, achieved brilliant results and left a deep impression on the enemy.

The most famous one was the Battle of Haoshuichuan ninety years ago.

This battle was fought by the Zhao Song Dynasty in order to quell Li Yuanhao's rebellion. The army of 100,000 was led by famous generals such as Fan Zhongyan and Han Qi to confront Li Yuanhao's 20,000 cavalry.

The Song army thought that they would win with more soldiers and generals, so they camped by the Haoshui River.

Li Yuanhao took advantage of the night to launch a surprise attack, using the Iron Harriers as the vanguard, broke through the Song army's position, killed the Song army's commander Yang Ye, captured the Song army's deputy commander Zhang Fangping, and defeated the Song army.

The Iron Harriers became famous all over the world!

Li Qianrui saw Li Liangfu winking at him, and he took the lead to rush out with his horse under his crotch.

Three thousand well-trained Iron Harriers followed Li Qianrui and rushed out.

Afterwards, under the command of Yelu Yanxi, Li Liangfu and others, the coalition forces rushed across the Qingshui River in sections according to the previously formulated attack formation, and then launched an attack on the Yuan army!

The goal of the coalition forces was very consistent, which was the imperial carriage just below the yellow joke banner with "Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty" written on it.

These four characters were so tempting that it seemed to say to everyone: "Come and kill me, chop off my head, and you will have everything you want!"

From a tactical point of view, as long as the coalition's cone formation could pierce the center of the Yuan army, it could divide the Yuan army, which was mainly composed of infantry, and win the decisive battle.

If that were the case, Xixia would be able to obtain the land of Baguan, plus the land of Yun, and get rid of the embarrassing situation of being trapped in a corner of the northwest.

It can be said that this was also a battle for Xixia's national destiny.

So the Xixia people worked very hard.

Following Li Liangfu's order, the 70,000-80,000-strong coalition army, led by the 3,000 Xixia Iron Harriers, wedged straight into the center of the Yuan army like a steel spike that covered the sky and the sun...

In response, Liu Huiniang calmly issued an order, ordering Chen Ke and Chen Xizhen to command the Yuan cavalry to attack the two wings of the coalition army.

After seeing Liu Huiniang's flag, Chen Ke ordered Yue Fei to join Du Fu's Beiwei Army and attack the right wing of the coalition army with Ma Yi, Ma Si, and Ma Shisan.

After seeing Liu Huiniang's flag, Chen Xizhen ordered Liu Qi to join Lu Junyi's Tabai Army and attack the left wing of the coalition army with Ma Shi, Ma Eleven, and Ma Twelve.

After seeing the response of the Yuan army, Li Liangfu said to Yelu Yanxi: "Your Majesty, please ask the Qiyan and Kelei tribes on both wings to defend our wings and see how our Great Xia army can break their central army!"

Before the war, Li Liangfu and others had analyzed that the Yuan army's idea was mostly to "blunt its edge and break its wings", that is, the idea of ​​defending the central army and attacking the two wings.

You must know that the defense lines on the two wings of the cone formation extend thirty or forty miles to the southeast and southwest. The coalition troops can communicate between the two wing lines of "∧", which can focus on attack or defense, which is very powerful.

And if the Yuan army wants to attack the cone formation, there are only two ways-either to attack from the top of the cone formation, that is, to defeat the Iron Harriers, and then kill in; or to break through from the two wing lines and then kill in.

Now it seems that the Yuan army has obviously chosen the latter, at least it seems so at present.

The Qiyan tribe and the Kerey tribe are both ancient tribes on the grassland. They are the predecessors of the Mongols in history. They have a deep foundation and are born good at fighting. The reason why they chose to help Yelu Yanxi was not only because Yelu Yanxi promised them huge benefits, but also because they saw Jiang Hongfei's ambition and wanted to defeat Jiang Hongfei, so as to prevent Jiang Hongfei from becoming their enemy.

The leader of the Qiyan tribe was named Borjigin Hebule. He personally led the warriors of the Qiyan tribe to meet the Yuan Dynasty's left army.

At the same time, the left wing of the coalition also engaged in battle.

Both sides first shot at each other for a while, and hundreds of people fell off their horses, and then they were strangled together.

Soon, the left and right sides of the coalition formed a battle group...

In the middle, Zhu Wu and others were facing a great enemy, because this was the key to the victory or defeat of this battle, so they were fully alert and prepared to take on the upcoming fierce battle.

"Closer!"

"Closer!"

"..."

Zhu Wu and others forced themselves to calm down so that they could judge the distance between the enemy and us, and at the same time be prepared to use bed crossbows to meet the attack.

The effective range of the crossbow is 800 to 1,000 steps, and some excellent crossbows can even reach more than 1,200 steps.

When the enemy and us were only about 700 steps apart, Zhu Wu wanted to order the shooting.

But the bold and careful Han Shizhong said to Zhu Wu: "Wait a little longer, this is the Xixia Iron Harrier, the best defense in the world, wait until 300 steps before shooting, otherwise, even the crossbow will still be difficult to achieve complete success."

Zhu Wu knew that Han Shizhong came from the Western Army and had rich experience in fighting the Xia Army, so he suppressed the urge to shoot immediately.

When the Iron Harrier rushed to only 300 steps away from the front army, Han Shizhong reminded Zhu Wu: "Now!"

Zhu Wu heard this and waved his hand fiercely!

Seeing this, Liu Guang and Jie Yuan, who were in charge of the crossbows, immediately ordered: "Shoot in sections!"

"Swish, swish, swish, swish..."

"Swish, swish, swish, swish..."

"Swish, swish, swish, swish..."

Five hundred crossbows fired in batches, and arrows like iron spears were shot out like an overwhelming force!

Li Qianrui is worthy of being the first Qi Refiner of Xixia, the commander-in-chief of the Iron Harriers, and the first person to lead the Iron Harriers to charge at this time.

Facing the attack of the Yuan army's crossbows, he danced the Overlord Spear, which was as thick as a bowl, tightly, and all the powerful crossbow arrows shot at him were blocked by him!

Seeing this scene, Sun An, Shi Wengong, Wang Jin and other generals around Jiang Hongfei all showed solemn expressions!

However, the bed crossbow is the bed crossbow, the "nuclear weapon" of this era!

Although the Haozijia is the most defensive spirit armor in the world, it still cannot defend against the attack of the bed crossbow, and some bed crossbows can even shoot through the iron kite and attack the iron kite behind it!

Therefore, with just this wave of firing from the bed crossbow, the Yuan army destroyed three to four hundred iron kites!

Li Liangfu felt very distressed about this: "I wonder when I, Daxia, will be able to possess an invincible weapon like the bed crossbow?!"

Li Liangfu was heartbroken, while Zhu Wu was disappointed. He didn't expect that the iron kite really lived up to its reputation, and it took five hundred crossbows to cause it this little damage.

As for the God's Arm Bow, which had always been invincible in the past, it was completely unable to hurt Iron Kite.

Zhu Wu couldn't help but say: "This iron kite is so powerful!"

Han Shizhong quickly reminded Zhu Wu: "Xuanxiang, now is not the time to sigh, we are about to fight."

After Zhu Wu heard this, he calmed down and ordered: "Get ready for battle!"

Upon seeing Zhu Wu's order, Wang Zhen, Zhao Li, Yan Xiaoguang, Yu Cheng, Liu Guang and other generals began to make arrangements one after another:

"Put the crossbow across the bed to act as a horse-repelling stake. Quick!"

"Antlers come forward, hurry, hurry, hurry!"

"Shieldman, check the shield wall again!"

"Gook-scythe gunners, you must remember to use eight steps and four moves to swing open the door, and then use the hook hoof to pull the legs to use the three secret methods below!"

"Lancers! Remember the essentials. The spears are on the ground. Don't let them go even if you die. We can't let them break through our gun forest!"

"Brother Li Kui, the outcome of this battle depends on you!"

Li Kui said to Yan Xiaoguang: "Don't worry, head of the country. Since the emperor's brother has entrusted me with this important task, I, together with Bao Xu, Xiang Chong, and Li Gun, will at least capture the leader and make him leaderless!" "

Yan Xiaoguang said: "That person can command the Xixia Iron Kites. He must be a hero. I am afraid his strength is not inferior to General Du and General Lu. How can you get close to him?"

Li Kui said: "I don't believe it. If I can't catch him, I won't see the emperor's brother!"

Yan Xiaoguang could only say: "You must not be reckless. As long as you knock off the iron kite, you will have done a great job. Don't take it easy."

Seeing that Yan Xiaoguang didn't believe him, Li Kui said, "Bring us wine and meat."

As soon as Li Kui finished speaking, Ziyou Primary School brought dozens of barrels of wine and meat.

Li Kui said to his soldiers: "Brothers, if you have enough to eat and drink, even if you die, we will also die of hunger!"

Then, while eating meat and drinking wine, Li Kui said to Bao Xu, Xiang Chong, and Li Gun: "The four of us have always been engaged in killing together. Today I chopped off the big mouth in front of Zhang Guozhang, and I will capture the iron kite commander later." , you three, don’t be lazy and give me a helping hand.”

Bao Xu said: "Your Majesty also taught the cavalry army to move forward today, and will also teach the cavalry army to move forward tomorrow. He has underestimated our infantry. We have agreed that we will move forward together in a while, capture the general, and fight for our infantry." tone!"

Xiang Chong and Li Gun said: "It's just what I want!"

The equipment of Li Kui's infantry is very simple. Each of them only has one or two hammers or heavy axes. This is their only offensive weapon. Their task is also very simple, which is to wait for other infantry to overturn the iron kites and go up to destroy them. Iron kite.

After gulping down some wine and meat, Li Kui took off all his clothes and was completely naked.

This is the north in mid-October. There is no shelter everywhere and the cold wind is biting. Others would feel cold even wearing cotton-padded clothes, but Li Kui went into battle like this.

Yan Xiaoguang saw that Li Kui and the other four were about to go into battle, but they were all half drunk, so he advised them: "You four brothers, don't risk your lives!"

Li Kui was holding his two axes in confusion, watching the charge of the iron kite, and did not answer Yan Xiaoguang; Bao Xu held up his sword and opened his strange eyes, just waiting to fight; Xiang Chong and Li Gun each held a dough sign with a throwing knife stuck in it. Twenty-four, iron guns lay on both sides.

Not long after, Wang Gui, Wang Sheng, Cheng Min and other generals led the heavy armored infantry and put up large shields to defend.

As soon as Wang Gui and other generals prepared their defense, tens of thousands of feather arrows fell from the sky.

In fact, the accuracy of this kind of indiscriminate attack is very low. If it can be effectively protected, its lethality is very limited, especially when the defense is heavy armored infantry.

A wave!

Two waves!

Three waves!

…

Before the battle, the heavily armored shield bearer was hit by countless arrows.

Fortunately, because of the good shield and armor protection, the heavy armored shield bearer only suffered one or two hundred casualties.

After the iron kite's arrow attack was finished, the two sides were about to engage in battle. Li Kui grinned: "Brothers, get on your positions, it will be our turn soon..."

…
