After sending Sima Zhenzhi away, Yang Anxuan worked non-stop to prepare for the war against Xia. In fact, since receiving the urgent report from Meng Longfu, Yang Anxuan's main focus has been on this matter.
Wang Zhene has already rushed to Chang'an with some of his staff. Yang Anxuan believed Wang Zhene's strategy very much and asked him to lead the staff to make suggestions for Meng Longfu to ensure that Northern Yongzhou would not suffer any major losses. Shen Qingzhi accompanied him with five people Thousands of soldiers and horses.
At the same time, Yang Anxuan traveled to Wenliang, Si, Yan and other places to recruit troops to Xiangyang for training, preparing to recruit another 30,000 troops to completely destroy the Xia Kingdom.
As the controller of the eight states (Yong, Beiyong, Liang, Beiyi, Qin, Si, Yan, Beiqing and actually controlled Beiji), Yang Anxuan cannot just leave as he did before. There are a lot of things waiting for him. He is decisive.
Fu Hongzhi led eight thousand reinforcements to Qixian County (now Binxian County, Shaanxi Province), the seat of Xinping County, and stood on the city wall to watch the enemy. Looking at the Xia army rushing to recruit outside the city, Zhao Fangji, the prefect of Xinping County beside him (who was one of the Eight Commanders of Zhuoshui with Yang Anxuan at that time) sighed with lingering fear: "Thanks to Fu Sima for the timely rescue, otherwise the reinforcements would not have arrived after the heavy snow closed the road. The city is difficult to defend."
The Xia cavalry seemed to be divided into dozens of groups in a disorderly manner, raising clouds of smoke and dust outside Qixian City. Fu Hongzhi was good at riding and shooting. If you look closely, the Xia army seemed to be scattered, but they responded to each other. If you look at the smoke and dust that condenses but does not disperse, you will know that the city is under attack. The Xia army is elite. There are about 2,000 people under the city. According to Zhao Taishou's description, there are at least 10,000 Xia troops six miles away.
It was getting close to noon. Fu Hongzhi looked at it for a long time and felt that there was an opportunity to take advantage of it. He said: "I will lead the men to charge for a while. Let's see how strong the Xia army is."
Eight thousand reinforcements were divided equally between infantry and cavalry. Fu Hongzhi led three thousand light cavalry, opened the west gate and rushed out. When the Xia army outside the city saw Yong's army coming out, they immediately retreated. The horns sounded continuously, dust started flying in the distance, and a large number of Xia troops rushed towards it.
The iron hooves stepped on the west wind, raising billowing smoke and dust. Zhao Fangji stood at the top of the city and looked at the flying sand rising in the sky. He asked the guard Pang Binzhi with a pale face, "Hu Qi is strong, Fu Sima's move is a bit reckless."
Pang Binzhi had great confidence in Fu Hongzhi and said, "Prefect Zhao, don't worry, let's wait and see for a while."
Fu Hongzhi, wearing iron armor and holding a steel knife, looked at the smoke and dust in the distance and listened to the sound of rolling hooves, and rushed southwest at the lead. Hundreds of Xia cavalry in the southwest heard the sound of the horn and rushed to the northeast. They collided with Yong's army and fought head-on with their steel knives raised. In an instant, Fu Hongzhi led his men and left more than a hundred Xia troops on the loess. .
Looking at Xia Qi who was galloping away to the north, Fu Hongzhi shook the blood from his steel knife, turned his horse in a circle and chased after the Xia army just now. Yong Qi constantly adjusted his direction, sometimes raking diagonally, sometimes retreating, sometimes rushing past two groups of Xia troops, as dexterously as a fish swimming in the water. Wherever he passed, Xia Qi always fell in a pool of blood.
More than three thousand cavalry came from the north. The young general at the head was wearing a bearskin hat and fox fur. He had a handsome face and his piercing eyes were paying attention to the Yong army who was raiding several miles away. He ordered in a deep voice: "Wang Mai De, you lead 1,500 cavalry to quietly circle to the south of Yong Qi, block their retreat, and be sure to annihilate these Yong troops."
Wang Maide originally joined the army in the north of Yao Qin's town. When the Yong army destroyed Yao Qin, he defected to the Xia Kingdom and was appointed by Helian Bobo as the military advisor Zhonglang General. Because Wang Maide was very resourceful, he won Helianbobo's trust and became an important adviser to the Xia Kingdom. This time Helian Bobo led a large army to attack Anding, and ordered Wang Maide to assist the crown prince and his eldest son Helian Guang in attacking Xinping County and blocking reinforcements from the Yong army.
The low sound of horns conveyed military orders, and the surrounding Xia cavalry surrounded Yong's army like hungry wolves. Fu Hongzhi heard the intensive sound of horns and knew that Xia's army was dispatching troops. He no longer hesitated and led his Qing cavalry towards the west. Rush away.
Xia Qi was a little confused. He knew that Qicheng was in the south, so how could this group of Yong soldiers go west? Seeing that the encirclement he had arranged was empty, Helian rushed to pursue his horses.
The billowing smoke dragon headed west, Zhao Fangji paused and said, "Why did Fu Sima get dizzy and go west? What should we do?"
Pang Binzhi smiled and said, "General Fu transferred the Xia army away, and Yu happened to lead his army to attack the camp." Pang Binzhi was General Ningyuan, and when Fu Hongzhi left him, he became the highest-ranking general leading the army. With one order, two thousand infantry, Two thousand Qingqi rushed out from the north gate and headed towards the Xia army camp several miles away.
When the Xia camp garrison saw Yong's army approaching, they quickly blew their horns and thousands of riders came out of the camp to fight. Pang Binzhi rushed towards Xia Qi with a spear. Xia Qi shouted and held a bow in his hand.
The arrows roared sharply and rushed toward Yong Jun while shooting. The light cavalry of the Yong army were all wearing armor, and cold arrows flew past. From time to time, some people grunted, and the horses stood up neighing after being hit by arrows.
Pang Binzhi licked his lips, which were cracked by the wind and smelled of blood. Looking at Xia Qi who was gradually approaching, Pang Binzhi tightened his grip on the iron spear in his hand. The handshake area of the spear body was wrapped with a brown rope. The grip was extremely stable and it would not slip even if blood soaked it.
The spear was thrown towards Xia Qi, who was directly in front. The opponent knocked the spear outward with his knife. With a "dang" sound, the two weapons swung apart. Pang Binzhi held a spear in one hand and swept towards Xia Qi who was passing by. Xia Qi didn't pay attention and was scratched by the tip of the spear from his waist and ribs, causing a streak of blood. Xia Qi screamed and clutched his ribs, but was knocked off his horse by Yong Qi who followed him. Countless horse hooves galloped past him. .
Xia's cavalry and Yong's cavalry passed by each other and met the infantry of Yong's army formed in a square formation. The shield wall, the forest of spears, and the infantry were just pigs and sheep waiting to be slaughtered in Xia Qi's eyes. Xia Qi smiled ferociously and waved his sword as he continued to charge toward the Yong Army formation more than fifty steps away.
Yong Jun fired a shower of arrows, and only a handful of Xia Qi were hit by the arrows and fell from their horses. Seeing that they were only about thirty steps away, the sharp whistle of the sharp scimitar against the cold wind could be heard by Yong Jun. But Yong Jun still stood still, as calm as a mountain.
With the sound of a gong, the shield turned sideways toward the center, revealing twenty-five rocket cars hidden behind it. Sparks erupted from the lead and rushed forward quickly. Xia Qi didn't know what Yong Jun's box-shaped thing was. It was probably similar to a crossbow arrow, so he involuntarily slowed down his horse's hooves to deal with it carefully.
A scream sounded, and arrows with fire tails rushed out of the "honeycomb" and shot towards Xia Qi, who was more than twenty steps away. Those arrows driven by gunpowder did not go in a straight line, and were twisted and twisted at all. The war horses were frightened by the screams and ran around, and the sharp arrows unceremoniously pierced the human body and the horse's body.
The Xia cavalrymen reared up and neighed, charging wildly. Some frightened horses rushed towards Yong's army. Yong's army formed a team of three to five, and some people used long hook spears to cut off the horses' hooves. The horses neighed and fell to the ground. Xia Qi, who was on horseback, did not wait to get up, but a knife and gun hit his body and died on the spot.
Before Xia Qi could react from the panic, Pang Binzhi led Qingqi to fight back. Xia Qi was in a mess, running for their lives in all directions, and was completely defeated. The horn sounded in the summer camp, warning Helian Guang in the distance.
Helianhuang heard the horn sound and learned that the garrison was under attack and called the police, so he had to give up the pursuit and return to the garrison to aid. When he hurried to the garrison, Pang Binzhi organized his army and returned to the city. A quarter of an hour later, Fu Hongzhi also entered the city from the west gate with his Qingqi.
This charge killed nearly a thousand Xia Qi men and severely dealt a blow to Xia Jun's arrogance.
On the second day, He Lianhuan showed off his power outside Qicheng with more than 12,000 horses. Fu Hongzhi showed no sign of weakness and ordered Pang Binzhi to lead 3,000 infantry out of the city from the north gate to form an array to attract the Xia army's attention.
He Lianhuang listened to the defeated soldiers yesterday and said that the Yong army had a sharp arrow that could spit fire, smoke, and roar. It was very difficult to prevent. He looked at the Yong army with their chariots in an arc formation outside the city, and felt a little hesitant in his heart. , ordered two thousand light cavalry to cruise a hundred steps away looking for fighters.
Fu Hongzhi opened the south gate, walked around for several miles, and suddenly appeared on Xia Qi's right side to launch a surprise attack. Xia Qi was defeated in a hurry. Pang Bin sounded the trumpet and led his infantry to pursue him. Only a thousand people were left in the city defenders, while the rest of the troops rushed out and captured the Xia army's camp in one go. He Lianhuang was defeated for thirty miles and lost all his supplies and supplies.
In this battle, the Xia army lost more than 3,000 soldiers and horses, and a third of the 15,000 Xia cavalry were lost.
He Lianhuan led his army to the northwest, captured Quaigu City, and plundered the property. Fu Hongzhi led his light cavalry in pursuit and defeated the Xia army again outside Quaigu City. He killed more than 2,000 people and captured more than 800 people. He recaptured Quaigu City. He Lianhuang led his army and fled towards Anqing City.
During this expedition to Anding City, there were 36,000 soldiers and horses besieging Anding City. In addition, He Lianhuang's attack on Xinping County's 18,000 horsemen totaled 54,000 people, accounting for one-third of Xia's military strength. About two. Helian was determined to seize Anding County, unite with the (Western) Qin Dynasty, and work together to resist the Yong army.
After hearing the news of He Lian Huang's defeat, He Lian Bobo cursed angrily: "A useless fool, even though he is outnumbered and outnumbered, he is still defeated. How could I give birth to such a useless thing?"
Helianbobo had many descendants. In addition to Helianjuan, there were also Yangping Gonghelianyan, Taiyuan Gonghelianchang, Jiuquan Gonghelianlun, Pingyuan Gonghelianding, Henan Gonghelianman, and Zhongshan Gonghe.
Lian An et al. Helianbobo was cruel by nature and once told his disciples that only the most ferocious wolf on the grassland would become the wolf king. Therefore, although He Lianhuan was established as the prince, many of his younger brothers were eyeing the throne.
Among the princes, He Lianlun, the Duke of Jiuquan, was the most favored and had coveted the position of prince for a long time. Hearing Helianbo's anger, Helianlun stroked his chest and bowed, saying, "Father, I would like to lead five thousand troops to kill Fu Hongzhi." head."
Not to be outdone, Helianyan and others stepped forward to ask for a fight. Helian Bobo stroked his beard with satisfaction and laughed and said: "Okay, I will give each of you six 3,000 troops. Whoever can defeat Yong's army and kill Fu Hongzhi will be the first to win."
After Fu Hongzhi captured Quaigu City, Hu Qi quickly came to provoke him. Fu Hongzhi was not afraid to lead his army into battle, and defeated Helianyan, Helianchang, Helianman, Helianan and others. The battle was fierce from Chenshi to Shenshi. The men and horses were exhausted, but they were surrounded by Xia Qi, who charged left and right. Difficult to escape.
Fu Hongzhi took the lead and charged into the battle, shouting hoarsely. When he was exhausted, He Lianlun and Helian Ding led a new force to kill. Fu Hongzhi was restrained by a horse rope and pulled off his horse, and was captured by the Xia army. Quaigu City was captured, and most of the 8,000 reinforcements led by Fu Hongzhi died in the battle, leaving only more than 2,000 people who fled back to Qicheng.
He Lianlun proudly escorted Fu Hongzhi to Helian Bobo to ask for credit. Helian Bobo looked at Fu Hongzhi coldly and said: "Send down and avoid death, otherwise I will cut you into pieces."
Fu Hongzhi laughed heartily and said without changing his face: "If a man dies, he will die. How can he surrender to Suotoulu?" Suo means hair braid. The Huns braided their hair, so the Southern Dynasties despised him as Suotoulu.
Helian Bobo's eyes flashed fiercely and he shouted: "Pull this Nanman to the gates of Anding City and kill him with random swords."
Fu Hongzhi cursed, and Helianlun said: "Father, why don't you strip this Nanman naked and tie him under the Anding City, and let the men shoot him to death with random arrows, which can also damage the morale of the city."
Helianbobo nodded in agreement, and Helianlun ordered a binding pillar to be erected outside the east gate of Anding City, tied Fu Hongzhi naked to the pillar, and ordered people to shout to the city that the reinforcements of the Yong Army had been annihilated, and the general Fu Hongzhi was captured. Now shoot him to death with random arrows.
At the top of the city, Guo Gong, the prefect of Anding, looked at Fu Hongzhi who was tied naked to a pillar, his legs trembling. Hu Qi was seen galloping past twenty paces away, bending his bow and shooting arrows at Fu Hongzhi who was tied to the pillar. Fu Hongzhi kept cursing, and after a dozen arrows there was no sound.
The blood was frozen brown by the cold wind. Fu Hongzhi's body was covered with arrows, and the arrow feathers swayed in the wind, like wings flying.
