Yan Yun's army quickly approached the city wall, and immediately saw a series of ladders erected on the top of the wall. The Xixia people desperately threw rolling stones, wood, and arrows at the city wall. However, the continuous counterattacks of Yan Yun's strong crossbows under the city wall continued to kill the Xixia people on the wall. They saw the powerful arrows fired by the strong crossbows from below the city flying up to the top of the city. The Xixia people who climbed up were hit by arrows one after another and fell down one by one. At the same time, the assault troops under cover bravely climbed to the city with their swords in their mouths. The Yanyun Army's attack tactics were sharp and skillful. The Xixia people felt the heavy pressure. Wei Mingjian and others kept shouting at the top of their lungs to cheer up their soldiers. The injured and dead were constantly carried off, and new soldiers were constantly added.
In just a moment, Yan Yun's army rushed to the top of the city in several places. The two sides fell into extremely bloody hand-to-hand combat. Spears pierced the body, swords cut off heads, swords flashed, axes and axes were hooked. Both sides fought desperately, and blood flew all over the sky. The Xixia people barely withstood Yanyun Tiger and Wolf's charge with several times or even ten times their troops! The entire city was like a huge meat grinder. Soldiers from both sides kept pouring into it, turning into blood and corpses flying everywhere!
Wei Mingjian saw that the situation on the city was critical, and originally did not plan to use the reserve team so soon, but at this time, he could no longer care about it, so he quickly led the only reserve team into the bloody battlefield to counterattack Yan Yun's army. The battle on the top of the city became even more fierce. The Xixia people who had already risked their lives did not hesitate to die with Yanyun's army, and they all looked crazy. Unfortunately, they encountered the Yan Yun Army. Their crazy counterattack could only barely withstand the Yan Yun Army's offensive, and they were unable to recapture the city.
The fierce battle continued, and there were mountains of corpses and blood flowing into channels on the city wall.
At this moment, shouts and screams suddenly came from the direction of the west city gate. Wei Mingjian, who was fighting fiercely with Yan Yun's army, was startled. He quickly turned his head and looked towards the west gate. He couldn't see clearly in the dark night. He could only see the light of torches on the city top, reflecting countless shadowy figures.
Wei Mingjian was distracted and didn't pay attention to a horizontal knife slashing diagonally from one side. With a click, Wei Mingjian's left arm flew away. Wei Mingjian was suddenly struck by severe pain, and she couldn't help but screamed and turned around. Seeing an officer from Yanyun in front of him slashed at him with his sword again, at the critical moment, he rolled on the spot without thinking about it and managed to avoid this fatal sword. Seeing that the governor was in danger, the surrounding Xixia soldiers were anxious and rushed to the rescue. Several of them caught the Yanyun officer and fought with him, while several others helped Wei Mingjian and hurriedly retreated to the back.
Wei Mingjian was shaking with pain and her face was pale. She grabbed a general beside her with her right hand and shouted: "Take someone to the west gate quickly! Go quickly!" As she said that, she pushed hard. The general fell to the ground, responded, and quickly got up and took the people away.
Wei Mingjian looked at the battle situation on the city wall and saw that several gaps were constantly widening. His own soldiers had already tried their best, but Yan Yun's army was too fierce and continued to kill his own soldiers to widen the gap. what to do? what to do? Wei Mingjian didn't know what to do. Then his eyes narrowed and he said resolutely: "Now that things have come to a point, the only way to repay your kindness is to die!" After saying this, he became calm. He glanced at his side and saw that someone had left a scimitar behind. He grabbed it and regardless of the injury to his broken arm, he shouted and rushed into the battle group again, fighting with Yan Yunhulang. …
I don't know how much time passed, but the general sent by Wei Mingjian stumbled back and said breathlessly: "Captain, no, it's not good! The enemy, the enemy broke through the west city gate. Our army couldn't resist it and was defeated like a mountain. !" Wei Mingjian frowned and shouted angrily: "I've been fooled, I've been fooled!" At this time, he finally understood Yang Yanzhao's strategy. Yang Yanzhao used the main force to attack the south, but at the same time, he used an army to focus on his own side. When they were on the south side, they raided the west gate. The west side was caught off guard and they broke through the city in one fell swoop!
"Commander, withdraw!" the general said.
Wei Mingjian turned to look at the retreating army, and murmured in confusion: "Withdraw? Where else can we retreat? Xingqing Mansion has been occupied by the enemy, where can we retreat!"
At this time, Yanyun's soldiers kept rushing up the city wall, and the Xixia army was killed and retreated continuously, feeling full of fear. More and more Yanyun troops rushed up to the city wall. After a while, they formed a strength advantage over the Xixia army on the city wall and began to encircle and suppress the Xixia army. Amid the screams, the Xixia people fell into a pool of blood one after another. A group of Xixia soldiers protected Wei Mingjian and retreated to the city gate tower.
The Yanyun army surrounded the city gate tower and temporarily stopped the attack. A Yanyun general rushed to Weiming Jian who was being supported by his subordinates and shouted: "General, you can't do your best anymore. Don't make any more unnecessary sacrifices. Surrender!" "His tone was very sincere, and it was obvious that he had great respect for the Xixia general in front of him who had been resisting his own side and fighting endlessly.
Wei Mingjian looked around and saw that his own soldiers were defeated like a mountain, and Yan Yun's army was rushing in. There was no suspense in this battle, everything was over. Wei Mingjian looked at the scarred soldiers around her, and couldn't help feeling sad. She murmured: "You should live, you should live!" She picked up the scimitar in her hand, glared with her eyes, and roared angrily. : "In Daxia, there are generals who would rather die than surrender!" Then with a slash of his sword, the soldiers around him realized in surprise that it was already too late to rescue him. Seeing the governor still standing there with wide eyes, the soldiers were filled with grief and anger. They knelt down one after another and called out to their commander.
Yan Yun's soldiers admired this warrior who would rather die than surrender, and they all saluted him involuntarily. …
Yang Yanzhao led the Chinese army into Jingzhou. At this time, the battle was over. Jingzhou, which had experienced several days of fierce fighting, was devastated.
Suddenly the sound of horse hoofbeats was heard. Yang Yanzhao raised his head and saw Yang Gui and others coming towards him. He couldn't help but rein in the horse. Yang Gui and others rushed to Yang Yanzhao and reined in their horses. Yang Gui clasped his fists and said, "Father, Weiming Jian, the governor of Jingzhou, would rather die than surrender and committed suicide!" Yang Yanzhao nodded, "He is an admirable warrior. He must live a good life." Collect his body and give him a grand burial after I ask King Yan for instructions!" "Yes!" Then he rode to his father's side and rode side by side with him. Yang Yanzhao thought: "Li Cunxiao will soon learn about the fall of Jingzhou. With the fall of Jingzhou, Tiemenguan will become an isolated city. Li Cunxiao has no choice but to run away!" Then he gave Yang Gui some instructions. , Yang Gui excitedly agreed and ran away with several of his soldiers.
Yang Qi smiled and said to Yang Yanzhao: "This time the Xixia was destroyed, the general has done the most great work. King Yan will definitely reward you greatly!"
Yang Yanzhao shook his head and said: "I don't have any merit! In fact, I don't value any merit at all. My wish in this life is to destroy Hu. As long as I can assist King Yan in quelling the four directions and unifying the world in my lifetime, my wish is enough. , I can rest in peace even after I die!" Yang Qi nodded.
Yang Yanzhao ordered: "Eight Sister, go and appease the people here personally. Since this place has been conquered, the people here are our Yanyun people. It is our responsibility to appease them!" Yang Qi clenched his fists and agreed, leading his soldiers. Went down.
…
That morning, Li Cunxiao, who was guarding Tiemen Pass, suddenly received a report from the defeated soldiers, saying that Jingzhou had fallen and Wei Mingjian had died for his country! Li Cunxiao felt as if a thunderbolt had fallen from the blue, and then he felt sad. He sighed and murmured: "I'm the only one left, I'm the only one left!"
The fierce general Li Chongshan said impulsively: "Let's rush out and fight the Yanyun people. Kill them until they are covered in blood and flesh!"
Li Cunxiao frowned and shook his head slowly, saying: "No, we can't just give up on ourselves! Daxia has not died yet, Xiliang Mansion and Xuanhua Mansion must still be in our hands. We must retreat to Xiliang Mansion and make a comeback. , avenge this bloody sea of blood!" Li Chongshan nodded seriously and said: "I listen to the general!"
Li Cunren said: "If we want to break out of the encirclement, we must hurry up, otherwise once Yang Yanzhao's troops are surrounded, we will have no way to go to the sky or the earth!" Li Cunxiao nodded, and immediately turned to the two most dependent generals. The order was given: "All troops retreat slowly in batches, and the Yanyun army outside the pass must not be aware of it!" The two men agreed and ran down.
…
Gao Hu and Xiao Duoli gathered their troops to attack Tiemenguan again, but unexpectedly did not encounter any resistance. The army successfully entered Tiemenguan. Only then did Gao Hu and others realize that Li Cunxiao and his 20,000 to 30,000 troops had retreated at some point. Han Shizhong immediately sent out scouts to track Li Cunxiao's whereabouts, and at the same time sent fast horse messengers to send messages to Yang Yanzhao and Yang Peng respectively.
On the other side, Li Cunxiao led nearly 30,000 soldiers and horses under his command and had already left Tiemenguan for dozens of miles. Li Cunxiao planned to go south from the hilly area in front, avoiding the direction of Jingzhou and Xiping Prefecture, break out of the encirclement near Weizhou, and then go west Pass through Shaniuling, pass through Xishou Baotai Military Division, Zhuoluo and Nanjun Division, and enter Xiliang Prefecture.
Soon after, the army entered the hilly area. kill……! Suddenly, there was a sudden sound of killing from all sides. The Xixia soldiers were shocked. They quickly stopped and looked around. They saw that Yan Yun's army seemed to have suddenly emerged from the ground and had already surrounded them heavily! The Yanyun troops on the surrounding highlands fired arrows together, and arrows rained down for a while. The unprotected Xixia soldiers fell down one after another, and screams were heard! In the desperate situation, the Xixia soldiers became desperate. Under the leadership of Li Cunxiao and others, they rushed towards the nearest hillside like crazy!
The Yan Yun army immediately dispersed to both sides. The ground shook and an angry tide surged. Thousands of Yan Yun warriors rushed over the top of the slope and rushed down thousands of miles. The Xixia soldiers changed their colors in horror. Before they could react, they felt a huge wave crashing in. In an instant, they were knocked off their horses. The Xixia soldiers were cut off from their horses by the flying sword light, and were knocked away by the galloping horses. In the blink of an eye, The Xixia army was rushed to pieces by Yan Yun's torrent of war cavalry!
Yan Yun's cavalry swept past with great force, and ran straight to the hillside in the distance before slowly stopping, turning their horses' heads, and re-arranged their formation.
The Xixia army was smashed to pieces by Yan Yun's fierce charge, and corpses were scattered all over the field. Most of the Xixia Army officers and soldiers who were still alive gathered towards the place where the generals' flags were at the foot of the hillside, while the fierce general Li Chongshan led more than a thousand soldiers under his command and rushed towards the Yanyun Army on the hillside again. Li Cunxiao was shocked when he saw this scene. He wanted to support him, but he did not dare to act rashly because the terrifying Yanyun War Cavalry was poised on another hillside, ready to attack.
Li Chongshan led a thousand soldiers to rush to the mountainside, and a large number of arrows flew towards them from the hillside, like a swarm of locusts! The Xixia soldiers who reacted quickly immediately raised their shields, and arrows flew into the Xixia army. There was a loud crackling sound mixed with heart-rending screams. They saw many arrows slamming into their shields. At the same time, there were many Xixia soldiers. He was knocked to the ground by a powerful arrow. The Xixia soldiers howled wildly and continued to rush towards the top of the hillside. Arrows rained down continuously. The Xixia soldiers fell forward and backward, causing heavy casualties.
Finally, the remaining hundreds of Xixia soldiers rushed to the top of the slope, crashed into the middle of Yanyun's army, roared and howled and attacked frantically. The Yanyun army quickly surrounded them, and with swords and guns, the brave Xixia soldiers fell into a pool of blood one by one, fighting hopelessly in a desperate situation! In the blink of an eye, only Li Chongshan was left. He was attacking like a crazy beast, and several Sergeants Yan Yun were knocked to the ground by his mace. He grabbed the body of Yan Yunjun who was knocked to the ground, yelled and threw the body towards Yan Yunjun in front of him. The body smashed into the middle of Yan Yunjun. Yan Yunjun couldn't help but shake. A gap immediately appeared in the encirclement. Li Chongshan took the opportunity to wave his mace and break through the encirclement in one fell swoop!
At this moment, a Yanyun warrior stood in front of him. Li Chongshan, who had gone completely crazy, didn't care who was standing in front of him, brandished his mace and charged forward with a howl. He rushed in front of Yan Yun's horse, jumped up, roared wildly, and held the mace in his hand. The stick was smashed from top to bottom towards the chest of Yanyun Warrior. The mace was like a tiger, and it was extremely powerful!
Yan Yunhan raised his left hand, and the copper hammer in his hand met the mace. In the blink of an eye, the hammers and sticks met with a loud clang. Li Chongshan felt as if his club had hit the rocky mountain, and he was shocked. My arms are numb! Before his body hit the ground in mid-air, he heard the roar of strong wind in his ears, and he saw his opponent's copper hammer in his right hand sweeping towards him! Li Chongshan was in mid-air, unable to dodge at all. He saw the copper hammer hit his body heavily with a muffled bang! Li Chongshan felt as if his whole body had disintegrated in an instant. He spurted out a mouthful of blood with a loud sound. At the same time, his huge body involuntarily flew out in the direction of the huge force. He fell to the ground far away and struggled for a while. Then there was no movement.
The fierce general Yan Yun killed Li Chongshan in one fell swoop. He rode his horse slowly to the front of the military formation and looked at the enemy troops down the mountain with admiration in his eyes. Li Cunxiao and others at the foot of the mountain saw him and couldn't help but frowned. Li Cunren said: "It's the warrior Yang Gui!!" Li Cunxiao nodded and said solemnly: "Our actions are all planned by Yang Yanzhao!" Then he let out a long sigh and said, "I lost!"
Li Cunren said: "General, for the present plan, we can only fight our way to the south to break out!" He glanced at the Yanyun war cavalry on the hillside on the left who was preparing to go, and said: "General, I will lead my troops to stop the enemy's battle. Riding, the general will lead the other soldiers to just attack southward!" Li Cunxiao frowned slightly, he knew that Li Cunren would be in trouble if he stayed to block the enemy's cavalry. If he stayed, he was determined to sacrifice himself! But in the current situation, is there any other way? Li Cunxiao was not a mother-in-law person. After feeling that this was the only way to do it, he nodded slowly and said, "That's it!" He glanced at Li Cunren and said in a serious tone: "Take care!" Li Cunren nodded, pulled the reins of the horse, and He turned his horse's head and shouted to his thousands of horsemen: "Brothers, let's fight with the Yanyun people so that our brothers can survive!" The blood of the thousands of horsemen was boiling, and they shouted in unison: "Fight! Fight!" !”
Li Cunren turned to look at Li Cunxiao, turned his head resolutely, and led thousands of soldiers under his command to rush towards the Yanyun War Cavalry not far away. Everyone roared loudly, regardless of life and death.
Li Cunxiao stared for a moment, suddenly turned his horse's head, and shouted: "Everyone, follow me!" Then he led more than 10,000 soldiers to rush south. At this time, he only had one thought, that is, he must break through the encirclement. The sacrifices of Li Cunren and other soldiers must not be allowed to be in vain.
Li Cunren led the cavalry to charge towards the Yanyun War Cavalry. He saw the Yanyun War Cavalry on the hillside activated, and then a huge wave rushed in. The frantic Xixia Army soldiers were not afraid and roared to meet them. In the blink of an eye, the torrent of cavalry crashed into the middle of the Xixia army. Immediately, the Xixia soldiers fell like seedlings in the torrent, with almost no room for resistance. The Xixia people were brave, but the Yanyun army was too strong. Human bravery is evaporated instantly like water droplets under the scorching sun.
Li Cunxiao led the brigade to break out of the encirclement to the south. Arrows rained down from the surrounding hillsides. Xixia army officers and soldiers were shot to the ground one after another, leaving countless corpses along the way. Suddenly, there was a thunderous noise behind him, and the ground trembled. Li Cunxiao and others were startled. They quickly turned around and saw Yan Yun War Cavalry catching up! At this moment, Li Cunxiao and others knew that Li Cunren and the others must have been completely wiped out! An indescribable sadness and anger surged into my heart! Li Cunxiao looked at the surging Yanyun war cavalry, turned his horse's head suddenly, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Fight!!" Nearly a thousand war cavalry roared and rushed forward, while the infantry turned around and lined up on the spot, swords drawn. The shield bearer is in front and the crossbowman is behind.
Nearly a thousand Xixia war cavalry met the Yanyun war cavalry, and in the blink of an eye they were submerged in the rolling torrent of the Yanyun war cavalry. Swords and guns were flying, people were flipping over, and in the blink of an eye, the entire Xixia war cavalry army was annihilated! The Yanyun war cavalry wiped out all the Xixia war cavalry, and they pressed towards the Xixia army formation with fierce momentum. The earth was trembling, the sky was roaring, people were like tigers, horses were like dragons, and their murderous intent was soaring into the sky!
Yan Yun's cavalry collided fiercely with the Xixia army's formation. The powerful and ruthless charge was like a stormy sea crashing on the shore. The Xixia people's hastily organized defensive line collapsed in an instant! Yanyun's war cavalry rushed in, killing the Xixia soldiers with blood and flesh everywhere! The soldiers of the Xixia Army, led by Li Cunxiao, tried their best to resist, but how could they resist! At the same time, Yanyun infantry troops from all sides came up with shouts and siege, and the mountains and fields were full of Yanyun tigers and wolves!
…
Corpses littered the fields, and the wasteland was filled with blood. All the Xixia soldiers were wiped out, leaving only Li Cunxiao alone, surrounded by the Yanyun Legion.
Li Cunxiao looked at the miserable scenes around him and couldn't help but feel sad and angry. He picked up the machete in his hand and wanted to take his own life. At this moment, he saw Yang Gui standing among the soldiers not far away. His grief and anger instantly turned into raging anger, and he shouted sternly: "Yang Gui, I will fight with you!!" Then he hit the horse. He rushed towards Yang Gui like a wounded and frantic beast.
The soldiers were about to attack. Yang Gui raised the bronze hammer in his right hand and shouted: "Get out of the way!" The soldiers immediately dispersed to both sides. Li Cunxiao was able to rush towards Yang Guizhi unimpeded. Yang Gui squeezed the horse's belly with his legs, and the horse, which had already connected with him, immediately ran out and rushed towards Li Cunxiao.
Li Cunxiao raised his machete and roared. In the blink of an eye, the two sides met, Li Cunxiao shouted, and slashed Yang Gui's head with the scimitar in his hand from top to bottom! Yang Gui waved his right hand, and the copper hammer flew from one side and hit the scimitar blade. The scimitar and the arm holding it were suddenly swung aside!
The two horses passed by each other, and then Li Cunxiao turned his horse's head and charged towards Yang Gui again. Yang Gui also turned his horse's head to greet him. The two sides were still about a horse's length apart when Yang Gui suddenly raised his right hand, and the copper hammer flew out of his hand with a roar. Li Cunxiao didn't expect this move. When he saw the copper hammer whizzing towards him, he couldn't help but turn pale with fright. He didn't have time to dodge, so he quickly raised his scimitar to block it! At the critical moment, the copper hammer slammed on his scimitar. With a click, the scimitar broke, and the hammer hit Li Cunxiao hard on the chest without losing force! Li Cunxiao heard the terrible sound of his sternum breaking and couldn't help but spit out a large mouthful of blood!
At this moment, the two horses crossed each other, and Yang Gui swept over with the bronze hammer in his left hand. At this time, Li Cunxiao was already stunned by the hammer just now. Where could he dodge, he saw the copper hammer slamming into Li Cunxiao's chest. Li Cunxiao screamed, rolled backwards and fell off his horse. He was lying on the ground, blood spurting from his mouth, and there was unspeakable pain in his chest, and he couldn't move a finger. Looking at the blue sky, Li Cunxiao suddenly showed a smile on his face and murmured: "Finally, I didn't embarrass you!"
Yang Gui reined in his horse, dismounted, and walked to Li Cunxiao's side. Li Cunxiao glanced at him, spit out a mouthful of blood, and said intermittently: "You, you, died in your hands, I, I am not unjust!" Then there was no sound, and he died.
Yang Gui showed admiration in his eyes, nodded to him and saluted, and then ordered an officer who ran up to him: "It's good to collect his body!" The officer clasped his fists in agreement.
Yang Gui wiped out Li Cunxiao's troops and left the infantry to clean the battlefield. He himself led the cavalry back to Jingzhou to resume his duties. On the way, he received a military order from King Yan from his father, asking him to immediately lead his cavalry to the southwest and join the two generals Zhan Jin and Shi Ping to attack the Xishou Baotai Military Division. The day after Yang Peng entered Xingqing Mansion, he ordered Zhan Jinguo and Shi Ping to lead 2,000 Xuanjia troops and 20,000 war cavalry to attack the Xishou Baotai Army in the southwest. Now that Yan Yun's army was limited by food and grass, Only a limited number of war cavalry could be sent to raid the Xishou Baotai Military Division to continue to expand the results.
As soon as Yang Gui received the order, he immediately led his five thousand war cavalry to turn to the southwest. Yang Peng stood on the city wall of Xingqing Mansion, looking at the thousands of miles of mountains and rivers outside the city with his hands behind his back, holding in his hand the battle report just sent by Yue Fei. Standing on the city wall of Xingqing Mansion, looking at the thousands of miles of mountains and rivers outside the city with his hands behind his back, he held the battle report just sent by Yang Yanzhao in his hand.
What happened after all, let’s see what happens next.
