Inheriting the Song Dynasty

In 1127 AD, the Northern Song Dynasty fell. Immediately, the ninth imperial prince, Zhao Gou, ascended the throne in Shangqiu amidst widespread anticipation, inheriting the Song imperial line and r...

Chapter 69: Leaning on the River (Continued)

It can be imagined that as more and more armored sword and shield men attack, the offensive of the Zhuangling brothers will eventually collapse, and the marching speed of the Song army will quickly recover, but before that, the bloody massacre will not stop... In fact, even the Zhuangling brothers of the Dangxiang tribe themselves were so bloodthirsty that they lost their minds... During the attack of the sword and shield men, small groups of Dangxiang infantrymen everywhere seized the gaps in the formation, successfully crossed the defense line, and poured into the army formation, but they were greeted inside by dense Song army armored cavalry, foreign cavalry, as well as lances and bows.

If they rush in, their hope of survival will be almost zero, but they still rush in.

However, in the chaos of war, anything can happen, especially when the base number is large, miracles are bound to happen.

Perhaps because the armored cavalry had been ordered to stay in the formation for several days, they were inevitably a little excited at this time. Therefore, facing a surge of Dangxiang warriors, the armored cavalry actually allowed a short Dangxiang man wearing a felt hat to miraculously cross the defense line.

Half of this man's body was covered in someone's blood. He waved his spear continuously and rushed towards the moving four-character flag with all his might. He was baring his fangs and claws, shouting and screaming, like a madman.

However, considering the man's equipment and size, it was more comical than terrifying.

There was no need for Yue Fei to say anything, and he didn't even look at this man. There was no need for Qu Duan and Hu Hongxiu to say anything, as a prepared general led several riders to meet him, ready to kill him with one shot.

Then a miracle happened again. The highly skilled and battle-hardened cavalryman from the Imperial Camp was about to approach and stab the enemy with his spear, but his instinct froze. The short Tangut man escaped from his spear and continued to rush towards Yue Fei's flag with strange cries.

He was ready to come to his senses and catch up immediately, but Qu Duan was already furious. He actually took off his mask and rode the Iron Elephant over himself... It is said that the Iron Elephant is a famous cavalryman known throughout the country, and Qu Duan has been in the army for twenty years. Although he could not even beat Wu Jie, he was strong enough. So at this time, he was in a dominant position, wearing heavy armor and carrying a spear, with an iron face, looking very majestic. Facing the short Dangxiang boy in front of him, it was like a ghost facing an ant... In fact, the man was coming towards him and was completely panicked when he saw this, but he finally came to his senses, then turned around and fled in panic.

But how could there still be a chance?

He was ready to shoot the man in the face and kill him easily, then dismounted, took off his tattered felt hat, cut off his head, and bowed before Tiexiang to present it, claiming his guilt.

However, Qu Duan was stunned for a moment when he looked at the head, but he did not pursue the mistake of his subordinate at all. Instead, he turned his horse around without saying a word and returned to the central army flag which was still moving slowly.

"Why don't you enforce military discipline?"

Yue Fei frowned and spoke.

"There's nothing to say." Qu Duan took off his mask, looking casual. "It's a crazy Dangxiang woman, an old crazy woman, with all her hair turned white... Jiedu, the Xixia people are at the end of their rope!"

Yue Fei was finally stunned, then he reined in his horse and took a serious look at the white-haired head. At the same time, the big banner of loyalty to the country behind him finally stopped.

This was the first time that the Song army commander's banner had stopped since he saw the white-haired banner today.

However, it only paused for a moment, and after a while, the flag continued to move northward.

Not only that, as the Song army stabilized its formation and large numbers of infantry were deployed across the board, casualties continued to be inflicted everywhere. After leaving behind thousands of corpses, tens of thousands of Dangxiang warriors suddenly dispersed, just as all those who knew about military affairs had expected.

The Dangxiang cavalry on the periphery could barely contain half of the people in front of them, and the rest were too lazy to stop them.

Of course, the Song army, which strictly abided by military discipline, did not chase them out. Under the supervision of their respective marching commanders, they immediately adjusted their formation, restored their previous marching formation, and continued to march northward.

"Uncle." Seeing that the Song army not only did not chase them out, but continued to move forward, with scattered soldiers all over the mountains, Li Ganshun obviously lost his patience and changed his address on the spot. "Have you seen the flaws of the Song army? We must make them stop!"

"There is a place that I don't know if it can be considered a flaw, but it must be the weakest point of the Song army!" Weiming Anhui grabbed the reins and turned his head to face him sternly. "Put away your son, this time, go all out, I will personally lead the team to that place."

"I will lend the White Bull Banner to you, Master Shang!" Li Ganshun heard this without hesitation. "I'll leave today's matter to you, Master Shang!"

The white-haired Weiming Anhui nodded, and without saying a word he reined his horse forward. The armored cavalry officers and tribal leaders who could hear it clearly followed him, and dozens of golden-armored warriors also escorted the white ox banner and followed.

Looking at the King of Liang going away, Li Ganshun, who was standing on horseback in the green seedling field, gradually felt hot... At the same time, the Song army also noticed that the Western Xia army was reorganizing, but it was not surprising, because the Jinshi who followed the army yesterday conveyed the news to every soldier on behalf of the officers. Everyone knew that the Western Xia people would definitely try their best to stop them, and now, they just smashed out and hit your son.

Therefore, today's war, in a sense, has just begun.
