Lin'an Never Night

Chapter 801 Reversal (for the Bubble Blowing Tiger SL Leader)

Yang Yuan's crazy army rushed forward bravely, just trying to break the formation.

The so-called breaking the enemy's formation means relying on their powerful personal force and combat style to quickly contact the enemy at all costs and at all costs, break into the enemy's camp, destroy the enemy's offensive and defensive formations, and cause chaos in the enemy.

And they never stop, just keep killing forward.

The infantrymen following behind mostly wore swords on their ribs and held spears in their hands.

This was provided to the soldiers when they crossed the mountain.

On the one hand, they took into consideration the fact that the troops were all infantrymen and were entering the Western Xia battlefield which was mostly composed of cavalrymen.

On the other hand, a spear can also be used as a climbing tool when crossing mountains.

The archers were protected in the middle by the spearmen, constantly drawing their bows and shooting continuously, attacking the center and rear of the Western Xia army.

The front army of the Western Xia soldiers engaged in hand-to-hand combat, while the middle and rear armies were unable to move forward and were instead attacked by many arrows.

But the Song army could act with impunity. They were unsure of the current situation of the enemy and themselves in front of them, and they could not retaliate with the same means.

If you don't grasp the distance well, the bullet will end up shooting at the back of your comrade in front of you.

Yang Shou was holding two sledgehammers, and his personal soldiers, seeing their commander risking his life, chased after him relentlessly.

For a moment, this arrow-shaped impact formation rushed forward like a surging wave.

The Western Xia army, having lost its mobility, was slaughtered in large numbers.

On the other side, Liu Qi was also surprised and delighted when he learned that reinforcements were arriving.

The old general was hit by an arrow in his right arm. He wanted to kill as many people as possible and fight to the death.

When he suddenly learned that reinforcements had arrived, he refused to die.

The old general rode back, and his personal soldiers protected him closely.

When he jumped off his horse, he didn't even have time to pull out the arrow from his shoulder, and he hurriedly ran up to the arrow tower.

After seeing the location, distance and direction of the reinforcements, Liu Qi immediately issued a series of orders.

Each of the five-colored flags has a command message, and the command flags are raised from time to time, issuing combat orders to the entire army.

The Song army, which had already prepared for death, immediately gathered nearby, re-formed their battle formation, and then, following Liu Qi's orders, charged toward Yang Yuan's central army.

"Flags with the character Yang, flags with the character Guo, flags with the character Shi..."

The personal soldiers with good eyesight, with their hands on their parasols and squinting their eyes, recognized the three flags of the Song army that were wedged into the Western Xia army.

Liu Qi gasped.

Next to him, the military doctor had just pulled out the arrow from Liu Qi's arm. Hearing Liu Qi gasp, he hurriedly said, "Please bear with it, old general. It will be fine soon. It will be fine soon."

After saying that, he grabbed the medicine gourd and applied the golden wound medicine on it as if it were free.

Liu Qi looked ahead and was shocked.

How could they be Yang Yuan’s men? How could it be possible!

Is it true?
Could it be that all his soldiers have wings?

hiss……

Liu Qi seemed to understand something suddenly, and he looked up abruptly at the shadowy shadows of mountains in the distance.

This series of mountains has steep cliffs on the west side and gentler slopes on the east side, so it is indeed possible to climb over them.

However, throughout history, it is probably unprecedented to cross these mountains in winter!
He could actually do it!
He actually did it!
Babahou also climbed up the arrow tower and looked into the distance.

He already knew where this sudden Song army came from.

He was secretly surprised that he had managed to climb over so many mountains.

But don't panic, we can just eat up Yang Yuan's troops as well.

In this way, it would not be a matter of frustrating the strategic intention of the Song State.

As long as the two main forces of Liu Qi and Yang Yuan were eliminated and the Sichuan Gorge was empty, Western Xia might be able to expand its territory and occupy the entire Sichuan province.

"Pass the order, the Iron Harriers are in the front, the Poxi soldiers are in the middle, and the Infantry are in the back, and rush forward quickly!"

"Order Zhuo Luo and the Southern Army Division, Xishou Baotai Army Division, move closer to our Central Army from the right."

"Send an order, Baima Qiangzhen Army Commander, Jingsai Army Commander, move closer to our central army from the left."

"Pass the order, the Jingsai Army Commander and the Xuanhua Gansu Army Commander will follow my Central Army!"

Tuoba Hou grinned grimly.

He would use the three trump cards of the Iron Harriers, the Infantry and the Poxi Army, and when Liu Qi's army and Yang Yuan's army joined together, he would tear them apart like a red-hot knife cutting into butter.

The army rushed in with the breakthrough of the rift created by the powerful combat capability of the three ace armies.

All the assembled cavalry would be like a flood that breaks through the dam, sweeping away and destroying everything.

What difference did it make if the two major armies of the Song State merged? It only extended their lives for half a day longer.

When the two armies of the Song State joined together, that was an army of 100,000!

How long has it been since there was a glorious battle in which a 100,000-strong army of the Song State was completely annihilated?
Remember last time... or last time.

Tuoba Hou's eyes were bloodthirsty, the central army's command flags changed, and he began to dispatch various major military commanders.

Yang Yuan and Liu Qi reunited.

"Yang Fushuai!"

Liu Qi burst into tears and fell heavily to his knees on the snow with a thump.

He was not kneeling for himself, but for his soldiers.

If Yang Yuan had not come today, tens of thousands of soldiers under his command would all have become foreign ghosts.

Countless broken families will be created in his hands.

However, he knew even more how great a risk Yang Yuan took in crossing the Great Snow Mountain.

If the snow between the mountains is already very thick, if a blizzard suddenly occurs when crossing the mountains, if the thick snow causes an avalanche due to the noise made by the large group of people marching...

If there was any accident, Yang Yuan's army might be buried in the mountains. Yang Yuan took the Long Road to Lanzhou, and then went to Huizhou via Lanzhou...

Perhaps by the time he arrived there, Liu Qi's army of tens of thousands would have been wiped out.

However, no one could question Yang Yuan's marching route.

In fact, because of his timely reinforcement, he defended the Lanzhou defense line and the gateway for Western Xia to advance eastward. He will also be credited with turning the tide, adding another highlight to his already brilliant resume.

Yang Yuan abandoned the most stable strategy, abandoned the military achievements that were within his grasp, and chose an extremely dangerous path that would lead to eternal damnation if he was not careful.

How could he not worship?

"General, why do you have to do this? We are comrades-in-arms, and this is only natural. With the Xixia army at our doorstep, please join me in resisting the enemy."

Yang Yuan hurried forward to help Liu Qi up.

The old general had made countless achievements in his life and was already very old. Yang Yuan truly admired him.

He dared not and could not afford to accept such a generous gift.

Fearing that Liu Qi would express his gratitude, Yang Yuan hurriedly helped him up and changed the topic to the Western Xia soldiers.

After the two armies joined forces, their momentum and morale were greatly boosted, and their combat power doubled. It was time to seize the opportunity to expand the results of the battle.

Liu Qi also knew that there was no time to talk at this time, so he quickly agreed.

The two generals climbed up the arrow tower together, looked out from a high place, and observed the battlefield.

Yang Yuan handed over the command to Liu Qi, who was not called the Protector General of Longyou for nothing.

Yang Yuan dared to take the risk of crossing the snow-capped mountains, which ordinary people could not do, because he believed that as long as sufficient preparations were made, a large number of accidents could be avoided.

And he now has a group of "strange people" around him.

If Duozi, Yanran and Yuye formed the Neijishi, then these people who did not have clear official positions could be called the "Waijishi".

They were all extraordinary people with special skills who came from all over the place after the establishment of the five major academies in central Sichuan.

Among them were those who were expert in geography, geology, and astronomy. Yang Yuan accepted all of them with generous conditions and granted them the position of professor.

For this expedition, those who had skills that could be used in combat were selected by Yang Yuan to be by his side.

Yang Yuan had some knowledge of the general geographical and geological conditions of the Liupan Mountain and other mountain ranges, as well as the approximate weather in recent days.

Otherwise, he would not dare to take such a risk.

Now that the two armies have joined together and are about to respond to the battle, let alone his hasty attempt to cram for help, the knowledge of military books he has learned from studying and seeking advice in the past few years cannot compare to Liu Qi's, and his experience in battle is far inferior, so naturally the more capable he is, the more work he should do.

Liu Qi had no idea what Yang Yuan was thinking. No matter what, he was defeated.

Now that Yang Yuan has handed over the power of command to him, it is obvious that he wants him to atone for his sins by performing meritorious deeds. When the court holds him accountable in the future, he will have an achievement to offset his sins.

Liu Qi's gratitude to Yang Yuan was beyond words.

"The military commanders on the left and right wings of the Western Xia Army are moving closer to the enemy's center..."

The Western Xia army gradually left the battlefield. The fighting in the front was still extremely fierce, but Liu Qi, standing on the arrow tower, could clearly see the changes in the rear.

"not good!"

Liu Qi was suddenly startled and suddenly guessed Tuoba Hou's tactical intention.

"Tuoba Hou intends to tear our army apart with his iron harriers and infantrymen, break through, and then charge with a large group of cavalrymen to split our army in two and destroy them separately."

Liu Qi said in a deep voice: "Our army should immediately use the captured cavalry to block the enemy, and while the enemy is retreating, set up obstacles along the way and retreat alternately..."

In the face of overwhelming strength, all means are vulnerable.

Liu Qi can now only think about how to preserve the army as much as possible.

After all, Yang Yuan's support army had no heavy cavalry or light cavalry, lacked heavy weapons, and had no means to resist the Xixia trump card.

However, although Yang Yuan gave him the command, he would not act on his own. Whenever there was a decision, he would speak it out immediately. Only after getting Yang Yuan's approval would he raise the flag and order the three armies.

"Is Commander Liu worried about the three most elite teams of Xixia? They don't have many people..."

Liu Qi's face was solemn: "We don't need a lot, they just need to break the formation.

Our army lacks the soldiers and weapons to compete with them. Once they break through the formation and charge in, the Western Xia cavalry will be able to fully exert its power.

By then, it will be useless to have morale alone."

Yang Yuan pondered and said, "General Liu, if... we can resist the attacks of the Iron Harriers and the Poxi soldiers, and turn the Xixia infantry into an iron box that can't move, thus blocking the Xixia cavalry's charge, then... what should we do after they embed themselves in our infantry's heavy encirclement?"

Liu Qi did not give him a prediction based on this, but stared at Yang Yuan and asked: "How can we defeat the three invincible arms of the Xixia Army now?"

Yang Yuan looked into the distance and saw the Ganquan army waving a flag with the word "crane" on it towards him.

This means that the firearms battalion has already laid the mines.

As the infantry expanded the battlefield to both wings, the artillery stationed on both wings also took position.

"Can I handle it? I should be able to handle it!"

Yang Yuan licked his lips, thinking about the results of the repeated simulation exercises of Emmanuelle Belle and Ugulu Yingge using the firearms battalion to counter the Xixia cavalry tactics, and finally made up his mind.

Damn it, I can rub lightning with my hands, why should I be afraid of him!

Thinking of this, Yang Yuan suddenly became greedy.

If we miss today, the next battle with Western Xia will be another stalemate.

At the moment, the Xixia people firmly believed that they had the advantage and dared to charge with their entire cavalry army.

Only by letting them in and then "tying up" their horses' legs can a great defeat be turned into a great victory.

Thinking of this, Yang Yuan said in a deep voice: "General Liu, please give the order for the infantry to continue to expand to both wings."

"What are you..."

"Yes, the place is narrow and the horse can't run away."

Yang Yuan said in a deep voice: "I want the Xixia cavalry to sneak into our pockets. The more they sneak in, the better!"
