Brother Wei Mingxiu and others came to the city gate trampling on the blood and corpses of the people. Weiming Huxiong shouted: "Open the city gate quickly! The general is here!" Upon seeing this, the city gate captain quickly saluted and then commanded the guarding sergeant to open the city gate. Brother Weimingxiu and others immediately ran out of the city gate.
The captain of the city gate saw the general running away and felt at a loss. A sergeant next to him asked the captain: "Sir, the generals have run away, what should we do?" The captain frowned and said, "The generals have run away, what are we left with?" Then he shouted to his subordinates: " Let’s all run for our own lives!” As soon as these words came out, the scene immediately exploded. Those who ran out of the city ran out of the city, and those who hid in the city hid in the city. In the blink of an eye, everyone ran away from the huge North City Gate. there is none left. After a while, people came here one after another. Seeing that the city gate was open and unattended, they fled happily.
Brother Wei Mingxiu and others escaped from the city gate. Hearing the sound of killing behind them, they couldn't help but look back. I saw that Yan Yun's army on the east and west sides had broken through the city gate and were rushing in. Everyone couldn't help but secretly rejoice.
The group of people did not dare to stop and ran straight towards the north. Weiming Shouzhong asked Brother Weimingxiu: "Brother, what should we do next? It is a grave sin for us to lose Wulahai City!"
Everyone couldn't help but feel worried. Li Qiyun said: "You can't blame us! If the reinforcements hadn't been negligent and slack and were completely wiped out by the Yanyun army, how could the situation have reached such a point!" Weiming Shouzhong said with some emotion: "Even if the reinforcements come, we probably won't be able to do it." We can't hold it!" Everyone couldn't help but think of the bloody battle just now. Those Yan Yun troops were really like tigers and wolves, all of them were extremely fierce and fearless of death. Thinking of this, they couldn't help but feel frightened.
Brother Wei Mingxiu said: "Wait until we get to Langshan Fortress before we make plans! Once His Majesty has solved the enemies in the south, he will definitely move north in a big way. We will counterattack at the same time and make up for the mistakes!" The generals nodded.
Brother Xiu of Weiming turned to Weiming Shouzhong and said: "Shouzhong, send someone to the south to deliver a message and tell them the news of the fall of Wulahai City, so that they will not be defenseless!" Weiming Shouzhong responded and turned to face the people next to him. An officer gave a few instructions loudly, and the latter agreed, immediately shouted to his subordinates, turned his horse and left the group to run towards the west. Several of his subordinates followed him.
Brother Weimingxiu and his party rushed to the bank of the Yellow River. This is the north stream after the upper end of the Yellow River is divided. It is also called the Ujia River. On the opposite side, there are towering mountains. From a distance, it looks like a prostrate horse between heaven and earth. The huge black wolf is Wolf Mountain. Under Lang Mountain, a huge military stronghold is faintly visible, which is the so-called Langshan Fortress.
Brother Wei Mingxiu looked around, frowned and said: "How can we cross the river without a boat? Find a boat quickly!" The generals agreed and ordered their subordinates one after another. At this moment, everyone faintly heard the sound of thunder coming from their ears. They couldn't help being stunned, and then they raised their hearts and quickly looked around. But no enemy was seen. Li Qiyun said: "There are no enemies. It must be thunder! Thunder is also very common in dry weather on the grassland!" Everyone thought he was right.
"What is that?" Someone suddenly shouted, pointing to a gentle grassy slope to the west. Everyone quickly looked in the direction of his finger and saw hundreds of cavalry appearing on the grassy slope. Judging from their attire, they were obviously Yanyun war cavalry. Everyone couldn't help but be surprised. "There's one over there too!" someone shouted, pointing to the grassy slope in the distance to the southeast. Everyone quickly looked in the direction of his finger, and sure enough they saw hundreds of Yanyun warriors appearing over there.
Brother Wei Mingxiu frowned and cursed: "What a cunning Yang Peng, he actually guessed that we would escape here!" In fact, it is not difficult to guess. Wulahai City was attacked from the east and west by Yan Yun's army, leaving only the north and south sides. Although it is possible to escape to the south, after crossing the south flow of the Yellow River, there is an endless desert. It is tantamount to suicide for the army to flee hastily into the vast desert. To the north, there is Langshan Fortress, and there are 10,000 elite soldiers guarding it. The reserves are sufficient, and you can retreat there before making plans. Therefore, after Brother Xiu and others abandoned Wulahai City, they could only escape to Langshan Fortress. Therefore, Chen Xiao and Yelu Tri were ready when they formulated the battle plan. As a result of Brother Weimingxiu's actions today, he had already ambushed five thousand war cavalry near the south bank of the Uga River.
After a while, the Xixia army saw more and more Yanyun war cavalry appearing in the field of vision. In the end, it was almost twice the number of its own troops. Many soldiers were frightened and at a loss.
Weiming Huxiong tightened the sword in his hand, turned to Brother Weimingxiu and said: "Brother, fight with them!" Brother Weimingxiu knew that the matter had come to this and he had no other choice, so he could only fight to the death. Still able to fight a bloody path, he focused his eyes, slowly pulled out the scimitar from his waist, raised it high, and shouted loudly: "Warriors of Xixia, if you want to survive, fight with them!" The Xixia soldiers were already Flustered, when they heard Brother Wei Mingxiu's cry, their fighting spirit rose in their hearts. They felt that they had to fight against Yan Yunjun if they wanted to escape with their lives, and they couldn't help but scream.
Seeing that the fighting spirit of the soldiers had been aroused, Brother Weiming Xiu breathed a sigh of relief. If everyone was still as desperate as before, this battle would not be possible. Brother Wei Mingxiu shouted, and he immediately rode towards the Yanyun War Cavalry on the grassy slope to the west. The nearly three thousand Xixia Army shouted and also launched a charge. The nearly three thousand people galloping on horseback were not weak at all. Everyone holds a belief and rushes out in one go to escape.
Yanyun War Cavalry faced the Xixia people's counterattack, but they did not charge head-on. The hundreds of cavalry in front spread out to both sides, revealing that the cavalry behind them were all tall and majestic cavalry of King Yan wrapped in iron armor!
Unexpectedly, the soldiers of the Xixia Army were all frightened. Some people hurriedly reined in their horses, and some were still rushing forward. The scene was chaotic, and the fighting will that had just been gathered fell apart before the battle started.
Woo...a long horn sounded from the grassy slope. I saw nearly two thousand King Yan's cavalry starting to activate. The ground was already shaking, and a huge thunder seemed to be brewing. Two thousand King Yan's cavalry were arranged in three horizontal rows, slowly accelerating. When they ran down the grassy slope, they were already in full charge. The torrent of iron armor rushed forward, like a mountain moving forward, unstoppable, and the earth trembled violently, also shaking Xixia. The soldiers' hearts were beating fast.
Someone exclaimed: "Run quickly, we are no match for them!" This further damaged the morale of the Xixia people. Many Xixia soldiers hurriedly turned their horses and ran eastward, while the rest stayed where they were and were at a loss.
In the blink of an eye, the armored cavalry crashed into the middle of the Xixia army. The brave Xixia soldiers fought back bravely, but it was like an egg hitting a stone. Their scimitars had no effect on the opponent's armor, while the Yanwang cavalry had no effect. The whistling and flying mace smashed their flesh and blood, and they were clearly invincible, like a hammer smashing a watermelon!
In the blink of an eye, the Xixia army was crushed to pieces! The remnant soldiers fled towards the east, but they encountered Yan Yun's cavalry from the southeast and intercepted them. The remnants fled in all directions. Yanyun's armor stood on the spot, while the light cavalry pursued them from all sides. A spectacular scene like herding sheep was staged on the prairie. …
In the evening, the sky darkened, and the earth became gloomy. Brother Wei Mingxiu and others finally got rid of Yan Yunjun's pursuit and fled into a small forest in the middle of the grassland. Everyone was stunned and panting. Brother Weimingxiu looked around and found that there were only about twenty people left, and they were all like frightened birds. Fortunately, Weiming Shouzhong, Weiming Huxiong, Li Qiyun, and Zongyuan were all there, and they were not there. Falling into the hands of Yan Yunjun.
Brother Wei Mingxiu suddenly felt sad and couldn't help crying: "I, Brother Wei Mingxiu, have been a hero for the first time. I didn't expect that I would be defeated so miserably today. I didn't even have a place to escape! I, I might as well die. Forget it!" After saying that, he pulled out his machete and cut his neck.
Everyone was shocked when they saw this, and rushed to rescue him. Weiming Huxiong moved as quickly as possible and hugged Brother Weimingxiu's knife-holding hands, shouting: "Brother, you can't think too hard! It's just a battle lost, what's the matter? What a big deal!" Wei Ming Shouzhong cried: "Brother, if you die, we can't survive!" Li Qiyun said: "We are defeated today, we can still take revenge on Yan Yun in the future, but if General, if you kill yourself, you will be a complete failure and you will never be able to get revenge!"
Brother Wei Mingxiu was originally a determined person. It was only when he was emotionally agitated that he committed suicide. Now after listening to everyone's words, he gave up the idea of committing suicide. He put the sword back into its sheath and glanced at everyone gratefully, "You are right, I have to live well and one day I will avenge this arrow!" Everyone couldn't help but see that Brother Wei Mingxiu had given up the idea of killing himself. He breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Qiyun said: "Maybe it won't be long before your Majesty has completely wiped out the enemy forces in the south and is leading the army to the north! We have to rush to Langshan Fortress and prepare for a counterattack!"
Brother Weimingxiu nodded, patted Li Qiyun on the shoulder, glanced at everyone, and said loudly: "Everyone has a short rest, and then find a way to cross the Wuga River and rush to Langshan Fortress." Everyone agreed in unison.
Brother Weimingxiu and Li Qiyuan walked to the side. Brother Weimingxiu said worriedly: "I'm very worried about Langshan Fortress. I wonder what's going on with Langshan Fortress now. Is it still in our hands?" Li Qiyun said: "Langshan Fortress The mountain fortress is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Even though Yan Yun's army is brave, they can't take it down in less than ten days and a half!" Brother Wei Mingxiu nodded. …
Weimingtai had been paying attention to the battle situation in Wulahai City in Langshan Fortress. When Wulahai City was in danger, he planned to lead his army to support it. However, Wulahai City fell too quickly. Weimingtai had just assembled his troops. , Wulahai City fell. Wei Mintai was shocked and ordered the soldiers of the fortress to guard the fortress strictly. No one was allowed to enter or leave the fortress without orders. At the same time, he sent scouts to inquire about the situation in the south.
After a night of hard work, from the next morning, defeated soldiers fled across the river one after another. Those who could swim, those who couldn't swim, carried a piece of wood and floated over. The lucky ones snatched it from nearby fishermen. A small wooden boat. It was as if dumplings were falling on the entire river, and it was very lively, but in the eyes of the Xixia army officers and soldiers at Langshan Fortress, it looked so miserable and miserable.
The defeated troops who crossed the river rushed into Langshan Fortress one after another, and a man who looked like an officer was brought to Wei Mingtai. The officer recognized Wei Mingtai. As soon as he saw Wei Mingtai, he knelt down and saluted: "I pay my respects to the general!"
Wei Mingtai frowned and asked: "Did Wulahai City really fall?" The officer said sadly: "It did fall! Everyone ran away desperately. The villain is lucky to have escaped!" Wei Mingtai asked anxiously: "Where are the general and the others? Have they escaped?"
The officer said: "I heard that he has escaped and broke out of the encirclement before us." When Wei Mingtai heard this, he couldn't help but let go of his heart, and then frowned and murmured: "Since he broke out of the encirclement long ago, We're out, but why haven't we arrived yet?" I couldn't help but recall the fighting scene on the other side of the Uga River during the day yesterday. Thousands of our own warriors were rushed to pieces and chopped down by the opponent, and my heart couldn't help but rise. Good feeling: 'Could it be that the generals were the ones who were surrounded and killed yesterday on the other side? 'I thought it was very possible, and I couldn't help but feel flustered. I just felt that if something happened to the general, I wouldn't know what to do.
At noon, more defeated soldiers arrived. Wei Mingtai made a rough calculation. So far, there were about four to five thousand defeated soldiers who had retreated into Langshan Fortress, and there were also many civilians among them, almost all of whom were party members. People, the Wulahai area was occupied by Yanyun's army, these party members were naturally frightened, and many of them followed the defeated troops across the Wuga River and fled to Langshan Fortress.
"General, look!" an officer suddenly exclaimed. Wei Mingtai looked in the direction of his finger, and suddenly saw the banners on the other side spread out like a wave of troops. Yan Yun's tens of thousands of troops appeared on the horizon and were heading towards the Ujia River. Wei Mingtai's heart was shaken, and he ordered hurriedly: "Send the order, close the gate and prepare to fight!" The officer quickly agreed and ran down. The shouts spread throughout the fortress from near to far, and he saw a commotion in the fortress. . The sergeants outside the gate rushed into the fortress, and then the gate of the fortress was closed. The people who had no time to escape into the fortress shouted loudly outside the gate and begged the people inside to open the door, but no one paid attention. They had no choice but to bypass the Langshan Fortress and head deep into Langshan Mountain. At the same time, soldiers from each team climbed onto the wall. Three-bow crossbows and catapults were pushed to the firing position. Kerosene, wood, and stones were continuously transported up the wall. The entire fortress A tense and busy scene.
About an hour later, Yanyun's army arrived at the south bank. Immediately, the soldiers of the Xixia Army on the fortress saw many huge rectangular and weird-shaped carriages being rolled out by Yanyun's army. Just when the soldiers of the Xixia Army were wondering, the soldiers of the Yanyun Army on the other side moved many things similar to bamboo rafts from the carriages. It turned out that the huge rectangular cube on the carriage was made of stacked bamboo rafts.
The officers and soldiers of the Xixia Army couldn't help but become nervous when they knew that the Yanyun Army was about to cross the river. Wei Mingtai ordered an officer beside him: "Gather all our two thousand war cavalry and prepare to attack!" The officer agreed and ran down. Immediately, the people in the fortress screamed, and a group of two thousand warriors quickly gathered near the gate of the village.
Yan Yunjun threw the bamboo and wooden rafts into the river, but instead of crossing the river on the raft, he quickly used ropes, spikes and other things to connect the bamboo and wooden rafts, continuously lengthening them, and extending towards the other side. The soldiers of the Xixia Army understood clearly that the Yanyun Army was building a pontoon bridge!
Wei Mingtai immediately ordered two thousand warriors to go out to the shore to stop the enemy with bows and arrows. The gate of the village opened, and two thousand Xixia warriors roared out of the fortress and rushed toward the shore. Rushing to the shore, they reined in their horses and fired arrows at Sergeant Yanyun who was building a pontoon bridge in the middle of the river. Several Sergeants Yanyun fell into the water, but other Sergeants Yanyun seemed unaware and just stepped up to build the pontoon bridge. At this time, from behind Several sergeants with shields came up and used their shields to protect the soldiers who were working.
The Xixia cavalry kept firing arrows. Most of the arrows were blocked by the shields, but occasionally arrows hit the Yanyun soldiers behind the shields. The other Yanyun soldiers immediately dragged the injured soldiers down, and at the same time, someone quickly supplemented the injured ones. location, the pace of building the pontoon has not slowed down one bit.
Seeing the pontoon bridge approaching the shore, the Xixia cavalry couldn't help but panic and fired arrows desperately, but the flying arrows could not hinder the progress of Yan Yun's army in building the pontoon bridge.
Seeing that the pontoon bridge was about to reach the shore, Yang Peng ordered: "Let Yang Jing lead the Modao army!" A hidden assassin immediately went down to deliver the order, and then he saw the ferocious black man leading hundreds of soldiers wearing heavy armor and holding Modao troops. The sturdy sergeant rushed out of the military formation, boarded the pontoon bridge, and rushed towards the other side.
When the pontoon bridge was approaching the shore, because the distance was already very close, the intensity of the arrow rain from the Xixia cavalry was obviously not comparable to before. Yanyun soldiers continued to suffer casualties, and the work came to a standstill. Although Sergeant Yanyun continued to fight regardless of casualties. They had to build a pontoon bridge, but the pontoon bridge could not extend one step further.
At this moment, the soldiers who were working only heard the rumble of footsteps behind them, and the entire pontoon was shaking. At the same time, an extremely ferocious voice shouted: "Get out of the way! Get out of the way!" All the soldiers were shocked. Lin, all dodged to both sides, and some accidentally fell into the water. They hurriedly put their hands on the edge of the pontoon to prevent themselves from being washed away. They turned their heads and looked behind, and saw the extremely ferocious General Yang Jing leading hundreds of people. The heavily armored warriors came running.
The Xixia cavalry on the shore were startled when they saw Yang Jing and the others charging fiercely, and quickly fired arrows at them. The arrows whizzed away and hit their heavy armor, making a loud clanking sound, but they could not hurt them. Every cent.
Yang Jing was the first to jump off the shoal by the river, followed closely by Mo Daojun, who also jumped in. There was a loud splash, and at the same time, water splashed up. The hundreds of tiger-like Yanyun soldiers parted the river and approached. The Xixia warriors who were close at hand rushed towards him. The leader of the Xixia army, the Captain of Ten Thousands, saw his opponent coming and without thinking, ordered his cavalry to put away their bows and arrows and charge to defeat the enemy. Two thousand Xixia warriors immediately put away their bows and arrows, drew out their scimitars, and charged with a shout. For a moment, an earthy yellow wave seemed to surge up on the shore, and the momentum was quite alarming.
However, Yang Jing and others were not only unafraid, but screamed excitedly, ran to meet them, and slammed into the torrent of cavalry in skirmish formation. In an instant, the Xixia war cavalrymen flipped on their backs, shouting and neighing. The Mo Dao soldiers who rushed into the middle of the cavalry waved their Mo Dao wildly. Their roars and Mo Dao's whistling sounds were still clear even in this noisy battlefield. It’s audible and touching! The Modao Army danced out a line of horses with flashes of cold light. The Xixia war cavalry was just light cavalry. How could they resist the Modao Army? Those who stood in their way would be invincible, and flesh and blood would fly everywhere! Yang Jing was even more of a great killer. He was howling strangely and looking very excited. A pair of axes were flying up and down in his hands, chopping people up and down horses. The stumps of men and horses were flying around in random directions. The enemy troops that bumped into him were knocked down. What a disaster!
The Xixia soldiers in the fortress were frightened and frightened. They all looked pale and couldn't help themselves. In less than a quarter of an hour, two thousand Xixia warriors were killed by the six hundred Mo Dao army led by Yang Jing. Their corpses were strewn across the field, and the riverbank was covered with blood. Half of the soldiers fell in a pool of blood. The fighting spirit of the remaining Xixia soldiers collapsed, and they turned around and fled towards the fortress, as panicked as a bereaved dog, and as anxious as a fish that slipped through the net. Yang Jing, who was excited to kill, actually wanted to pursue him. If the horn sound from the south bank hadn't stopped him, he would have rushed to the bottom of the fortress before stopping.
When Yang Jing heard the horn sound coming from the south bank, his bloodthirsty mood calmed down a little, and he stopped and led his 600 soldiers to form an array on the spot to prevent the opponent from making another surprise attack. At this time, the pontoon bridge had extended to the north bank. Then a dozen sergeants drove a dozen huge wooden piles to the shore to fix the pontoon bridge. Then the leading officer waved to the south bank. Upon seeing this, Yang Peng knew that the pontoon bridge had been built, so he personally led the Xuanjia Army and 5,000 Yanwang Iron Armor across the Ujia River, and other troops came over one after another.
The remaining Xixia war cavalry fled into the fortress and were stunned. The captain rushed to the city wall, knelt down with a plop in front of Wei Mingtai, and apologized with shame on his face: "General, I am incompetent and failed to prevent my opponent from crossing the river!"
General Wei Mingtai saw all the battles just now and knew that the defeat was not the fault of the captain. Yan Yunjun's engineering efficiency and methods were far beyond imagination, and those Mo Dao army were even more unstoppable monsters. , let alone the light cavalry, even the most elite Iron Kites heavy armored cavalry in Great Xia would not be able to gain favor against those Mo Dao troops. He turned to look at the Captain and saw that he was covered in blood, so he asked, "Are you injured?"
Captain Ten Thousands shook his head, "The general is only slightly injured, it doesn't matter!" Wei Mingtai said: "You go down to heal your wounds and rest first." Captain Ten Thousands responded and ran down. Wei Mingtai turned his head to look at the Wuga River, and saw Yanyun's large troops coming one after another. He felt worried, anxious, and at a loss. He felt like a kite with a broken string, and he had no idea what to do. good.
Yanyun's army crossed the Wuga River and immediately approached the Langshan Fortress to form a challenge without taking any rest. Wei Mingtai had known for a long time how powerful Yan Yun was, so he did not go out of the stronghold to challenge him. He closed the stronghold door tightly and pretended not to hear or see the insults and provocations of the other party. Yang Jing, who was challenging the two sides in front of the formation, scolded him hoarsely, and did not even scold the Xixia people. He was annoyed and bored, so he returned to the middle of the formation and said angrily to Yang Peng: "Brother, those guys are fooling me. If you are a coward, you just won’t come out, let’s attack by force!”
What happened after all, let’s see what happens next.
