There was no answer from the soldiers, and none of the soldiers gave an answer to the order of the kind. However, watching the heavy armored infantry soldiers follow the unspoken order, this silent way makes Xie Xiaogui feel relieved inexplicably while observing. I saw that the five thousand heavy armored infantry soldiers immediately divided into three torrents, and the three steel torrents slew towards the center of the battlefield from three directions. Although there are much fewer soldiers and horses on the left and right sides, they have formed a formation without the slightest confusion and shortage, and they are advancing in a small square formation.

The sudden appearance of the enemy surprised Zhang Sailiang. Although he had never participated in the first public security battle and had not seen the power of heavy armored infantry, he knew that the heavy armored infantry was a slightly strong soldier in the Song army. The Xia family's army can't even compare to the average Song army, let alone such a powerful Song army elite. Moreover, in front of these five thousand heavy armored infantry, the number advantage that the Xia family army had previously relied on had disappeared. If they were surrounded by the enemy, there would only be a dead end. Immediately Zhang Sailiang shouted loudly: "Back! Don't love war! Offenders cut!"

Hearing Zhang Sailiang's order, those Xia family army soldiers who stopped to fight were all stunned. Of course, when they saw the heavy-armored infantry approaching, they immediately understood the purpose of Zhang Sailiang's order, and they turned their heads and fled back. And Zhang Sailiang didn't dare to delay. Finally, he glanced at Song Jun, who killed nearly 5,000 people. Zhang Sailiang's face was full of unwillingness, and he didn't expect to fail in the end.

Zhang Sailiang was ordered to come here this time to annihilate the Song army who dared to attack Shangrao this time. Zhang Sailiang, who had always been cautious, had naturally found out the main goal of this time in advance, and it was precisely to give these Song army generals a heavy blow to annihilate this attacking enemy. But at the moment, although many soldiers of the Song Army were killed, none of the main targets were killed. Instead, a lot of people were lost. Helpless, but Zhang Sailiang knows very well that if he continues to miss the battlefield, he is afraid that he will be defeated. He can only order the withdrawal of troops.

However, these tens of thousands of soldiers and horses do not mean that they can be quickly withdrawn. When the heavy armored infantry is killed, nearly a thousand Xia's soldiers will die under the sword of the heavy armored infantry. The remaining Xia Jiajun army rushed away under the leadership of Zhang Sailiang.

After repelling the Xia family army, the heavy armored infantry did not pursue the victory, but regrouped under the leadership of Zhong Qian and others. Five thousand heavily armored infantry soldiers, almost without damage to one soldier and one soldier, neatly lined up a square formation, not even a single person panting. The murderous air emanating from the soldiers, even Jiang Shanli and the others couldn't help taking a breath.

Xie Xiaogui came to the front of the generals and glanced at the generals, only to find that the number of generals was a little wrong, frowned, and asked in a deep voice, "Where is Shao Yun? Isn't he..."

When Xie Xiaogui asked, everyone immediately knew what Xie Xiaogui meant. Even if Shao Longdang explained: "Report to the general, he is okay, but because of injuries and too much physical loss in combat, he is resting in the army at this moment."

Xie Xiaogui was also a veteran of the Song Army, and he naturally knew the sequelae of Hu Tianqing's special exercises, so he was relieved. Although the Song Army led by Jiang Shanli and others suffered heavy losses, and there were only a few thousand in front of more than 10,000 people, but at least none of Jiang Shanli and other warriors had an accident.

It is easy to find a general in a thousand army, and it is difficult to find a general. These generals are the treasures of the Song Army. Even if one is killed in battle, it will be a great loss. Xie Xiaogui’s expression has also eased a lot, and he nodded and said, "I already know the cause and effect of your defeat this time. Don’t be too concerned about it. This defeat can also make you realize your shortcomings and treat you. It is also good."

The main target of Xie Xiaogui's remarks was of course Jiang Shanli, and Jiang Shanli was ashamed and ashamed to hear Xie Xiaogui's words. Jiang Shanli secretly made up his mind to never make this mistake again in the future.

Glancing at Jiang Shanli’s expression, Xiaogui Xie also nodded in satisfaction, and said with a smile: "In fact, this time I came with heavy armored infantry led by General Zhong Qian, not entirely for you. It just happened to ran into you on the road. The messenger you sent came to help. Speaking of which, the luck of your bastards is really good."

"Huh?" Hearing Xie Xiaogui's vulgar smile and scolding, Jiang Shanli and others all showed embarrassment on their faces, but at the same time they also raised questions in their hearts. What's the matter? You want to work, Xie Xiaogui, to go out in person, and let Jing Qian lead all the heavy armored infantry out? You know, this heavy-armored infantry has consumed a lot of financial resources and manpower of the Song army. The financial resources consumed by these five thousand heavy-armored infantry alone is enough to build a brand-new heavy cavalry army. Although the heavy armored infantry has been in the public security for the past few years, in the hearts of the Song army, the heavy armored infantry has always been regarded as the ace army of the Southern Army of the Song army.

Fortunately, Xiaogui Xie didn't have the habit of selling Guanzi. He just paused for a while, and his face became gloomy. He said in a deep voice, "According to the information from Flying Butterfly of the Disc Department, Gao An has sent troops.

Although the generals already knew that Xia Cheng was likely to form an alliance with Gao'an and resist the Song Army together, it was precisely because of this that the Song Army's strategy changed from a three-sided feint to a formal attack. But they never expected that Gao An would dispatch troops so soon. Suddenly, Liu Wenyuan's mind flashed, and his face was full of puzzled questions: "If Gao'an sends troops, it should be attacking the defense zone stationed by General Di Hu and General Wang Zongshi! Why did the general come here?"

Xie Xiaogui's face was still gloomy, and he shook his head slightly and said, "No, Gao An did not attack our troops stationed in the southwest of Fujian Road. Instead, he sent 100,000 troops directly, led by General Wang Xiong, from the north of Fujian Road. Set off and march into Xinzhou. Now we are almost arriving in Shangrao."

"What?" Now Jiang Shanli and the others almost jumped from their horses. Jiang Shanli immediately shouted: "This is impossible. How could Gao'an's soldiers and horses appear in Xinzhou? Didn't Xia Cheng react at all? Not to mention a hundred thousand army. God! With the current situation of Xia's army, this A hundred thousand army is enough to kill him. Isn't Xia Cheng not worried at all?"

"Worried?" Xiaogui Xie sneered, and said: "With the current situation of Xia Cheng, the last base area is in jeopardy. If he refuses Gao An's assistance, how long can he survive? Xia Cheng will definitely be guarded against Gao An in his heart. , But to do so now, it can also be said that we are forced to do nothing."

What Xie Xiaogui said made Jiang Shanli and the others all laugh bitterly one after another. Xie Xiaogui was right, and now Xia Cheng really feels desperate. Now that the general situation is over, Xia Cheng can't bear the pressure from various places, not to mention that large troops will soon follow up. Without Gao'an's assistance, Xia Cheng would have no way to withstand the Song army's offensive. Xia Cheng would have no choice but to do so.

At this time, the three of Zhen Qian had also arranged their soldiers and horses and rushed towards Xie Xiaogui. Seeing Jing Qian, Jiang Shanli and others also hurriedly saluted. After some greetings, Zhong Qian turned his head and said to Xiaogui Xie: "General Xie. The battlefield has been cleaned up, and more than a thousand people have been wiped out, and some weapons and armors have been seized. What other instructions does the general have?" Xiaogui Xie Nodded, and said: "General Zhongzheng has worked hard, let the soldiers rest on the spot, let's return to the barracks." After Xie Xiaogui said, Zhongzheng gave a fist to Xie Xiaogui and took the two lieutenants with him. Step down and execute the order together.

After resting for nearly half an hour, he raised his head to look at the sky, Xie Xiaogui turned his head and made a gesture to Zhong Qian, who also nodded, Dang Yi shouted in a deep voice: "Heavy armored infantry, lined up."

The submerged voice is not loud, but it is full of breath, not at all like the sound of a person in his fifties. Following the order of the kind of Qian, the heavy armored infantry soldiers who had been sitting on the ground all stood up.

Thousands of people showed no signs of disorder, and they were still arranged in a square array. All the soldiers raised their heads and chests straight, with a pair of eyes looking directly at the species in front of them. In the hearts of the soldiers of the heavy armored infantry, although the loyalty is to the Song army, the commander will always only have potential. And because of this, even though Xie Xiaogui is the commander of the army, he still has to use the seeding potential to issue orders to the heavy armored infantry.

"Heavy-armored infantry, marching in a queue, go forward!" Zhong Qian didn't have any expressions at all. Looking at the heavy-armored infantry in front of him seemed to take it for granted, Shen Sheng issued the first order. After hearing the order, all the soldiers of the heavy armored infantry turned around at the same time, facing the west, and under the leadership of Le Yi and Huang De, they moved quickly toward the west. And Zhong Qian paid a salute to Xie Xiaogui, and then drove his horse to follow the heavy armored infantry.

Seeing the heavy-armored infantry who were gradually moving away, the generals were silent. Xie Xiaogui couldn't help but admire: "This heavy-armored infantry of General Kinqian is indeed amazing. The three northern legions, the Imperial Guards, and Zhao Yun's Qingqi Although the heavy cavalry army is powerful, they are all cavalry. If the infantry is the strongest in the Song army, it is the heavy armored infantry. With the heavy armored infantry in hand, why be afraid of the Gaoan army? Go! Let's keep up."
