Since ancient times, the physical strength and quality of human beings have not been much different from each other. What distinguishes the difference between people, one is the spirit, and the other... is the ethnic group.
The sky is bright, the fields are boundless, and the horses are galloping.
The so-called ethnic group, with rules as the link, unites the strength of millions of people into one. This is the real power that the human race can reproduce and survive. The power of an individual is indescribable, and only the power of the ethnic group and the country can distinguish the power difference between oneself and others. The powerful group of millions of people shows that they adapt to the rules of the world and nature, they are excellent people, and the group of millions of people is weak, it shows that these millions of people are inferior people and must be will be eliminated by the world and nature.
On the 30th of June in the second year of Jingping, this afternoon on Dong Zhiyuan, Chen Dongye was running on a war horse and remembered what Ning Yi said in the Xiaocang River.
The greatest part of human strength is not in us.
The heavy armor bound the body like a fortress, and the horse's running was slower than usual because of its heavy weight. In front of the field of vision, was the continuous battle formation of the Xixia army. The horse was pushed out, and the arrows flew into the sky. In front of the iron cavalry, only more than 300 swordsmen and shields were holding their shields, and they had already charged towards the arrow rain, and they wanted to push away to refuse the horse. The 1,500 heavy cavalry scattered and launched a charge against the Xixia army.
For Chen Dongye and others, it is only at this moment that they realize the meaning of these words more and more: the power of man does not lie in us.
He came here many years ago, served as a soldier for food, and lived in the army of the Wu Dynasty in a hurry, and went to several places. The world is huge, but the world is very small. Everyone lives like this. Everyone is not necessarily without ambition. In the army, force is the most respected, and there are also many high-level martial arts, high-spirited, and dare to challenge anyone when they meet. They disagreed, drew their swords, and the officers in the army looked at the soldiers' fiery temperament. Encourage these battles, believing that this will result in a strong team.
Everyone gets free pay, from top to bottom, everyone benefits. The officials hand out a lot of salary to everyone every month, and the brotherhood is beyond words. There is nothing wrong with these things, at this time, everywhere. It's all like this, but everyone is like this, no one is so many times more powerful than anyone else.
Then the Jurchen came. Hundreds of thousands of people were driven away by tens of thousands of people, blood flowed into rivers under the butcher's knife, and even the most powerful people in the army were useless here. Then came to Xia Village, and finally rebelled. Many people have always wondered where the difference is. Chen Dongye is a member of the Huayan Association, and occasionally listens to Ning Yi chatting in the Xiaocang River. For many things, just keep in mind, may not be able to have too deep feelings.
Until this time, he inexplicably shot down Yanzhou, and then engulfed the Iron Harrier in the first battle, until this moment. At the moment when the army of thousands of people really launched an attack on the army of 100,000 people, he rode on the horse and finally felt very clearly in his heart: There is a huge difference between people.
The difference in strength is not double or double. gap between people. In fact, it can be changed tenfold or a hundredfold.
The battle ahead had already begun, the blood was flying, and more than a thousand heavy cavalry, in groups of ten, launched a charge on the front line that was several hundred meters long. among.
When the iron cavalry slammed into the recalcitrant army formation, the sound it made was dull and terrifying. The high-speed charging warhorse lost its balance under the impact. Chen Dongye slammed forward under the huge shock. Rulin's spear array stabbed on the iron armor. He gritted his teeth and opened his eyes, and stabbed the Xixia people in front of him. The spear pierced through the soft armor, clothes, pierced into the flesh, then stabbed out, pushed forward, and pulled apart the bones and body, and blood flew. At this moment, the world became chaotic, countless impacts and scarlet filled the field of vision, and his body also rumbled down in the impact.
The cavalry slaughtered by his side, and after a while, the man in steel armor got up from the flesh and blood corpse and drew out a long knife. Elsewhere in the battlefield, the iron cavalry still fell like raindrops.
At the second quarter of Shen Shi, in the south of the Dongzhiyuan battlefield, Qin Shaoqian led more than 3,000 people and launched an attack on the 12,000-strong army led by the Western Xia general Wu Zang Jiqing. As a battle-hardened veteran of Xixia, in the moment of contact, the army led by Mozang Yiqing made a stubborn resistance.
At the same time, another black flag team that jumped up to Dong Zhiyuan from the north was going southwest along Guyuan, and it seemed to draw a large arc to join the cavalry in the south. At this moment, the entire battlefield has moved on a large scale.
****************
The fireworks of the warning sounded more and more frequently, and the scout who summoned the message vigorously beat the warhorse under him and ran across the field. In the late summer and early autumn, with the breeze blowing, the sky was clear, and the time was still beyond the "afternoon" category, Dong Zhiyuan was already enveloped by a tense and chilling atmosphere.
The 25,000 troops that were the main formation of Li Ganshun, the king of Western Xia, had stopped on the original ground, and the battle reports that followed were washing the minds of Li Ganshun, Asha, and even Sanguan.
Starting from Shen Shi, the offensive actions of the Black Flag Army meant the complete outbreak of the battle. Prior to this, the advance of the 100,000-strong army had always had two possible speculations for the enemy on the edge of Dong Zhiyuan, the upper level of Xixia: one, this army would escape; the other, the real battle of this army The power is not ridiculously high.
And as the battle reports continue to come, such psychological expectations are being quickly washed away and peeled off!
With the battle and defeat of the Huangshi Po and the sparsely-named mountains in the north, the black flag troops, mainly infantry, that jumped onto the plain are still advancing obliquely. Du Luowei led the 5,000-foot-poster to follow them, trying to kill their back road, and more than 10,000 people from Ye Lifeng's tribe had already begun to push westward.
At this time, there were a total of six troops surrounding the 25,000 Xixia main formation. They were the five infantry troops led by Ye Lifeng, Wuzang Jiqing, Guaibubu, Li Liangfu, and Weiming Rongke, and the 4,000 light cavalry led by Yu Zangma. These 60,000-strong troops guarded Li Ganshun like a barrier. Around Shen Shi, the large force led by Wu Zang Yiqing and the light cavalry troops wandering the South Road had already discovered the approaching of more than 3,000 black flag cavalry. When the 4,000 light cavalry troops decided to detour and harass, the opponent responded with the explosive firearms. At the same time, the 3,000-odd troops launched an attack on the tens of thousands of people who had not been hiding.
Heavy riding to tear the wilderness!
During You Shi, on the battlefield in the southwest of the Western Xia main formation. Thousands of people fled. The heavy cavalry and infantry of the Black Flag Army ripped apart this 10,000-strong army, and General Wu Zang Yiqing led his own troops to resist and was cut down by the Black Flag saber. The 4,000 light cavalry under Yu Zangma's command avoided the opponent's iron barrel soldiers, covering the brigade's disintegration, and fighting and retreating.
This was not a victory of art of war and intrigue, for nearly two years. After the defeat of Bianliang, the opening of Xia Village, the warming of Xiaocanghe, and the tempering and polishing of this dispatch, the Black Flag Army that emerged from Xiaocanghe is no longer dominated by blood and wildness. Only under the pressure can an army of amazing strength burst out. The real blade has been held by this army, and at this moment, it turned into a fierce rush on the battlefield.
"They chose to attack at this time. They were afraid of our army's camp!" Facing the real defeat of the two troops, Asha in the formation had already reacted, "More than seven thousand people, divided into two teams to attack, Even if they were protected by the gods, they had to fight several times in a row. Heavy cavalry rushed into the formation, only once or twice a day, and many of them used horses that were not Iron Harriers. No matter how they fought, they are now surrounded by us. In the middle. A long battle will be exhausting. But in order to be safe, I think our side should build defenses immediately, put away horses, dig tunnels, make splashes and strong crossbows ready, and wait for work!"
At this time, the sun was gradually sloping westward, and Li Ganshun had a dark face. Nodding to Asha's suggestion, deep in his heart, he had to admit that the frontal defeat of more than 10,000 people scared him, but he still said: "A long battle will be exhausted. Seven thousand people, I Let's see if they can come to me!"
On the battlefield to the southwest of Xixia's main formation, a fierce battle has ended. The head of the general of Xixia, which was not hidden, was stuck on the flagpole, and the corpses were scattered all over the field. In the distance, the figures of Xixia soldiers fleeing can still be seen, and there are still traces of thousands of light cavalry running. Zang Jiqing was suddenly beheaded, and after the army collapsed, they tried to shoot around, but they were caught by cannons and unscrupulous cannons and shot a few times. He was frightened, and when the black flag army rushed over with light cavalry, they forced the opponent back and ran away.
"We don't have much time, don't let it get entangled with it, and immediately form a team!" Looking up at the sky, Qin Shaoqian, who was on a heavy ride, gave orders to the people around him. The corpses and blood moved closer to the black flag, and some people waved their knives and guns. After a fierce battle, they could actually feel tired, but no one showed it.
A little further south, six horses were dragging a hot air balloon forward. Chen Xing of "Mohui" stood in the basket of the hot air balloon and looked into the distance with a telescope. Open the rope that binds the hot air balloon, increase the flame, and let the hot air balloon rise.
He turned back and waved to the people behind him.
The hot air balloon can't choose the direction, and the time it can stay in the air may not last until the end of the whole battle. Previously, the launch and landing of the hot air balloon required a team of cavalry to chase down. At this time, it was more than ten miles around. The army of the Xixia people, his lift-off and landing, may have to be resigned to fate.
At You Shi, the first hot air balloon took off, and the second one floated slowly to the south.
To the north, the Buba team led by Du Luowei and Ye Lifeng's team had merged in the middle, and soon after, they were joined with Li Liangfu's team who had been walking in the west. The army of nearly 30,000 people was divided into three groups. , forming a huge barrier on the ground. At a distance of two or three miles from them, the main force of the second and third regiments of the Black Flag Army led by Pang Luan and Li Yi were running parallel to the Jurchen army, staggering to the southwest, and they had already seen each other.
"They have three units connected!"
A small number of scout cavalry ran nearby to report the development of the situation at any time. Luo Ye led his company to run in front of the team, grinding his teeth: "Alright, I will overwhelm them in one go!" He pointed to the front and gestured with his hand. , said to his companions in the back, "Do you see the flag in the middle? Face it! Even if there are tens of thousands of them, how many can fight against us at the same time!? This flag, how many people are useless!"
"Unfortunately, I don't know where Li Ganshun's main formation is..." The scout cavalry running beside him knew him well and said something. Then, in the sky in the distance, a black smoke was drawn out from there, far away. , which is a hot air balloon rising alone into the sky.
After the black smoke, another colorful plume of smoke flew out in different directions. On the field, many people raised their heads and saw such lines. In the military formation here, Pang Luan pointed in that direction, Luo Ye raised his hand, moved towards that direction, and cut twice slowly.
Over there, an army of 30,000 people has already rushed here.
To the south, the war horse dragged the hot air balloon and ran at a slow speed in a certain direction delineated by the line in the sky. The horse team escorted it around. Soon after, the second hot air balloon rose into the sky, and the clouds on the horizon turned into a fire-like color. At that time, a third one flew up...
Above the earth, the surging blood fire has also rushed and whistled, burning almost frantically.
The terrifying hedging tore apart this land (.)
