Chapter 25 Lost in the first battle 3

The barbarians made a lot of deployments in order to win this battle. Although they had the victory of breaking the barbarian castle and killing 2,000 reinforcements, they also knew very well that the real battle began now. Therefore, this first battle is extremely critical. If it can be fought well, it can not only boost the morale of its own soldiers, but also deter the Song army. For this reason, they set a returnless plan for the Pioneer Xizhou Army based on the terrain in the southwest and the arrogant attitude of the Song army.

Shortly after the Xizhou army left Dingxi City, the barbarians had heard the news. They immediately laid all kinds of traces on the road ahead of the Xizhou army, thus tempting the Song army to pursue and causing them to deviate from the official road and enter the mountains and forests where the barbarians could play their best.

Then, the barbarians sent hundreds of people who were the most flexible and good at running in the mountains and forests but not easily detected, so that they hid on the road that led the Song people. But the role of these people is not to attack the Song army, but to follow the Song army and grasp the position of the Song army. At the same time, these people also have the task of blocking the Song army and completely cutting off contact between this vanguard team and the large army.

These hundreds of barbarian soldiers in the mountains and forests are guarding on the road. Even if the Song army sends the same number of soldiers and horses to contact the people behind them, I'm afraid it's difficult to get rid of. Therefore, his own soldiers sent by Ruan Yong were intercepted by these barbarians soon after leaving the army, and none of them escaped. In this way, the Xizhou Army, which has deviated from the road, has actually become a lonely army, and there are more barbarians around them.

After dark and the Song army stationed, the more important use of these barbarians showed. On the one hand, they sent people to the garrison of their brigade to attract people, while others took advantage of the night to attack the Song army camp. Attacking the heart of the Song army with fire, coupled with long-range cold arrows, made the Song army scared, and it would be easier to deal with when their own army arrived.

Together with the firelight, it was easier for the barbarians to find the Song army, so this side killed the barbarians who attacked at night, and their army was killed in time. In this way, the Xizhou Army has completely fallen into a desperate situation. Whether it is their own situation or the connection with the Chinese army, it is no longer possible for them to turn defeat into victory.

For good, the Song army itself did not know that it had fallen into a complete desperate situation, and it was impossible for reinforcements to come, so it could resist desperately in the face of repeated attacks from the enemy. Coupled with the sharpness of the armor, Song Jun is still above the other side. Even if he has fallen into such a situation, he can still repel the attacks of the barbarians several times.

But as the sky became clear and there were few arrows left, Song Jun's confidence began to waver. After a night of fighting, more than 5,000 people have fallen into the attack of the barbarians, surrounded by the bodies of the fallen enemies and us. This sensory stimulation is even more exciting at dawn. After all, the current Northwest Army can't compare with 20 years ago. After seeing such a scene, many soldiers began to beat drums in their hearts. If they hadn't been surrounded now, I'm afraid everyone would have scattered and fled.

Looking at the bodies of the dead soldiers and the brothers with injuries and blood stains around, Xiang Cang's heart was dripping blood. This is his loyal subordinate, but the guardian of the border of the Song Dynasty, but now 5,000 people have been killed because of his moment of carelessness. How can he explain this to the court? The regret in his heart made it difficult for Xiang Cang to stay in the command of the Central Army. After handing over the power of command to Ruan Yong, he rushed to the front of the Song army with a spear.

At this time, another round of attacks by the barbarians came up, and the first few of them were extremely brave people among the barbarians. As soon as the two sides met the war, many Song soldiers were cut by them, and Xiang Cang immediately greeted them.

Seeing this bright and heavy armored Song army general killing on his side, those barbarian leaders suddenly cheered up. Although they did not know the identity of the other party, they could guess that it was definitely not ordinary people who could wear such heavy armor. Immediately, two barbarians rushed to Xiang Cang.

Xiang Cang, who had already held his breath, also shouted loudly, and then the spear in his hand stabbed out like a strange python. Before the two barbarians rushed to him, they had been assassinated to the ground. With the intention to kill, Xiang Cang no longer ignored his identity and strode forward, turning the spear in his hand into a little black light, killing the barbarians in front of him one by one. For a while, he only relied on Xiang Cang to kill the enemy and retreat again.

In the barbarians, Mu Jerry's eyes also lit up when he saw this scene: "What a fierce general, he can kill our warriors with the power of one person. Who is he?"

"This man should be Xiang Cang, the governor of the Xizhou Army..." Looking at his armor and more than 50 catties of weapons, which are longer than ordinary spears, the barbarian who knew the situation of the Song army said, "He is indeed a fierce general. I heard that he has killed a group of people under his command alone."

"Ha ha, the king doesn't have to worry too much. Even if he is brave, he is only one person. Can he really resist the siege of our army?" A scholar dressed man said contemptuously.

"Well said! But it's not good to kill such a fierce general like this. I want to live!" After thinking about it, Mu Jerry said, "Long Lingjieci, Qianli Dubu, He Chijun, you three killed him for me and took him down!" The three he ordered were all brave and powerful among the barbarians. They were the guards next to Mu Jerry.

The three of them have already been moved because they have seen Xiang Cang's bravery, and they also want to fight with him, but they didn't ask for war because of their identity. Now that I heard the order of the clan king, there would naturally be no delay. After shouting, they rushed up separately.

At this time, those barbarians had been stabbed to death by Xiang Cang. He also felt a little short after a round of killing, so he put his spear and stood still and rested. Feared by his amazing murderous spirit, although he took the spear at this time, the barbarian soldiers did not dare to rush up.

As soon as he took a few breaths and recovered himself, Xiang Cang saw three barbarian men shouting and killing him. Seeing that they were coming very well, he must be a good hand. He didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly clenched his spear with both hands and put on a posture of attack. In a blink of an eye, three people killed him at the same time, and three weapons - machete, hammer and axe - greeted him at the same time.

What a Xiang Cang, there was no panic even when he encountered such a siege. After shouting, the spear in his hand raised high and faced the heavy weapon. After a few loud noises, his body was beaten back several steps by three people, and the three people were also shocked by this move and their arms were numb. Then after another roar, the two sides collided again, and the four weapons collided with each other, which was very lively.

Xiang Cang fought with three barbarian generals with one enemy, which cheered the Song army's military heart again. The barbarians were a little restless because of their momentum. Many people just stared at Xiang Cang, who was one against three, to see how long he could last. As long as he is defeated, the barbarians will take advantage of the situation to kill and completely defeat the Song army.

But this time it was obviously to disappoint the barbarians. In the face of the full attack of the three barbarians, Xiang Cang not only fell behind, but also became more and more brave in the Vietnam War. Under his full strength, the spear in his hand could hardly see its original face and became a dark shadow, roaring in the air. He kept fighting back against the three strong enemies.

After you killed more than 30 years, Xiang Cang finally found a flaw in Qianli's unique part. He shouted, and the spear in his hand was stabbed out of lightning, and he was stabbed straight in from his chest and out of his back. Qianli alone howled, but was killed on the spot. After his death, the psychological pressure on the remaining two people was great. They couldn't help avoiding the side, and their hands slowed down.

However, Xiang Cang did not hesitate. After shouting, the spear in his hand suddenly raised and smashed the body of Qianli alone into the He Chi army. He Chijun hurriedly retreated and finally avoided this move, but he had already sweated coldly. He was not embarrassed.

Long Lingjie over there saw the other party so much, and he felt fear for no reason. After his companion retreated, he stopped attacking and retreated immediately. When the barbarian soldiers saw such a scene, they did not have the confidence to attack again. They retreated like a tide again, waiting for the next attack.

In a blink of an eye, a new round of barbarian offensive was once again repelled by Xiang Cang, but there was no joy on his face. Because he could see that the soldiers under his command were almost unable to support it. Even if he was brave, he was afraid that he could not stand it under the endless attacks of the enemy.

After retreating back to the Chinese army, Xiang Cang looked at Ruan Yong: "How many brothers do we have to fight?"

"More than 7,000 people have been killed and injured, and only half of them still have combat ability." Ruan Yong's face was heavy.

"What time is it now? Why haven't you seen the general's people coming to rescue him?

"Captain, I'm afraid I was wrong yesterday, and no one will come to save us! We fell into the trap of the barbarians. How could they let our people go out and contact the generals? I'm afraid that the people I sent have been sent early in the morning... Otherwise, the general's people should have come..." Ruan Yong still told the truth after hesitating.

In fact, Xiang Cang had already thought of this layer, but he was unwilling to admit it. Now he has been pointed out, and his face is also miserable: "It's my fault! The general had already warned me not to be greedy, but now I have harmed my brothers!"

"Captain, in fact, we still have a glimmer of vitality..." After watching the barbarians about to form another offensive, Ruan Yong said, "You will lead the elite out and lead the army to save them, and the last general will continue to defend!"
