Qiming 1158

Chapter 797 Die with me!
After Chen Qian led his troops northward to attack, Su Haisheng rectified the infantry in the rear.

He formed an infantry formation, and the remaining [-] cavalry moved on the flanks of the large infantry formation, and then released the cavalry to seek the enemy, advancing cautiously, not daring to be negligent.

Facts have proved that Chen Qian is not a tragic figure who sets up a flag casually, he won.

After half a day, in the early morning of the next day, Chen Qian's commander came to report the news.

Not only did he win the Iron Harrier, but he also defeated the remaining 1 Western Xia troops who followed the Iron Harrier, captured more than 1 people, and seized a large amount of military supplies. He even took all the equipment with the Iron Harrier. seized.

Xixia gathered the strength of the whole country and used cold forging technology to create [-] pairs of iron armor for people and iron armor for horses, which were captured by him and became the most precious capture in this battle.

Su Haisheng was overjoyed when he heard the news, and immediately led a small number of cavalry to the battlefield to find Chen Qian.

When he arrived at the battlefield, Chen Qian was commanding the army to clean the battlefield and take care of the prisoners. When he saw Su Haisheng coming, he took off his helmet and greeted him with a smile.

"Commander-in-chief, the last will live up to his mission!"

"Good boy, well done! Take me to see those iron armors."

Before it was too late, Su Haisheng went to see the iron armor passed down from generation to generation by the Iron Harrier soldier family.

Chen Qian took him to watch the captured iron armor. After seeing the iron armor, Su Haisheng squatted down and kept stroking, tsk tsk amazed.

"Good boy, tell me well, how did you fight this battle?"

"Haha, it's actually not difficult, just take the initiative to attack before the other party attacks. Anyway, we have iron horseshoes and run fast. Before he can attack me, I will take the initiative to attack him first."

Chen Qian didn't hide his secrets, and told Su Haisheng how he would deal with this Xixia army.

After he led his troops northward, he ran at high speed and took the lead in charging, separating the Xixia infantry from the cavalry.

The Xixia infantry was successfully divided by the Ming cavalry and forced to form a defensive formation.

The light cavalry followed the Ming army cavalry around, fighting against each other with bows and crossbows.

With the help of their followers, the Iron Harriers hurriedly mounted their horses in iron armor and chained them to prepare for battle.

When Iron Harrier was ready to launch a sprint, the Ming army moved their horses and did not confront them head-on. The Ming army cavalry moved quickly, and Iron Harrier couldn't catch up.

As soon as the Xixia Qingqi got on, the Ming army immediately launched an attack, waving a steel knife and killing it, killing it together with the Xixia Qingqi, making Tie Haozi stare blankly.

When fighting, the iron kite is divided into ten teams, each team has 300 people, arranged in a certain position with each other, and connected with each other with iron locks, and the distance is always the same when charging.

In this way, the points are formed into a surface, which becomes a fish-scale array with a large strike coverage, which is a great threat to the infantry.

But for the flexible Ming cavalry, this set does not work.

The cavalry of the Ming army only wanted to fight with the Xixia light cavalry, and they had the advantage, but the iron eagle couldn't kill his own people together, he couldn't rush up, and there was nothing he could do.

After the battle, the Xixia infantry was delayed by the Ming cavalry, and the light cavalry was about to be killed by the Ming cavalry.

Iron Harrier had no choice but to bite the bullet and launch a group charge, trying to capture the Ming cavalry, surround and annihilate them.

But Chen Qian was not a fool. He was also a part of that bloody battle, and he had seen with his own eyes how many casualties the Shengjie Army had paid to stop the heavy cavalry's charge.

In the face of the sprint of heavy cavalry, especially this iron monster covered in iron, it is a word, run.

The Ming army kept going in circles on the battlefield, trying to keep the distance, so that the iron Harrier had no chance to sprint again and again, exhausting the physical strength of the men and horses.

In the end, Iron Harrier was obviously weak, and Chen Qian seized this opportunity and led the Ming army cavalry to charge.

They gave up the hand crossbow, took out the standard hand axe from the weapon bag, and started throwing and hitting the heavy armor on the Harrier with the hand axe, focusing on the head.

My dear, there was a tinkling sound on the battlefield, and many Iron Harriers heavy-armored cavalry were seriously injured because they were hit in the head by the hand axe, and there were not a few people who died on the spot.

The Iron Harrier went to their end in this way.

In this battle, the Ming army suffered little losses, with more than 500 people killed and more than 800 people slightly or seriously injured.

The 2 Xixia army was annihilated. About 2000 people were killed by the Ming army, and about 5000 people were captured. The number of people who escaped was limited and not many.

However, compared with the more than 2000 people who escaped, the iron kite that was wiped out by the entire army was the biggest victory of the Ming army.

Not only the full set of equipment was captured by the Ming army, but many Xixia heavy cavalry who were captured because their combat horsepower was unable to move also became a very important victory for the Ming army.

Su Haisheng didn't expect Chen Qian to be so capable. He could wipe out this Xixia army in one battle, and also wiped out the ace heavy cavalry Iron Harrier. He originally thought that a tie would be enough. .

When he was first promoted, he was just a young boy. He was born in a farm family in Shandong, and he was nothing special except for always giggling.

Grow up!

Su Haisheng watched with satisfaction as these young officers from poor backgrounds grew up one by one amid the flames of war.

At noon on the eleventh day of the first lunar month in the third year of Hongwu, the Ming army arrived at the capital of Xixia.

The Ming army carried out an afternoon military raid outside the city, fixed all the temporarily established military facilities and traps outside the city, etc., and then set up the launchers of Thor cannons and boulders.

The preparations for attacking the Xingqing Mansion were ready, but the reason why they did not strike was because Su Haisheng tried to persuade Ren Dejing to surrender, so that he could surrender and sacrifice the Xingqing Mansion, which might save him from war.

At this moment, Ren Dejing, who learned that the Iron Harrier was completely annihilated, had a blank mind, and was paralyzed on his seat, unable to even stand up.

Right now, the entire capital is also in chaos. The speed of the Ming army's attack is too fast. The news of the annihilation of the Iron Harrier and the news of the Ming army's arrival at the city are sent one after the other, so that many people who want to escape have not escaped. The city was besieged by the Ming army on all sides.

Therefore, in the entire capital, no matter whether it was the people who were allowed to respect one party, or those who were not allowed to respect the one party, they did not run away. After the capital was surrounded by the Ming army, a sense of desolation of the end of the day swept the entire capital.

Many people came to see Ren Dejing, hoping to get instructions from him, asking him what to do, whether to insist on fighting and waiting for reinforcements, or surrender.

Ren Dejing didn't say anything, first beat Ren Chunxiao violently and killed him.

Then he sent someone to find Xue Zhengshao, and was going to ask him for a strategy, but he was not found, and the whole person disappeared in the imperial city as if the world had evaporated.

Ren Dejing realized something, and smiled bitterly, lying on the table with his hands on his head, except for a bitter smile.

A wry smile for himself, and a wry smile for the entire Xixia.

Not to mention his own destiny, this time, he also bound Xixia's destiny.

He thought that Ming Guo would at least be able to throw the mouse and avoid weapons, but he didn't expect that Ming Guo didn't care at all. He didn't talk about martial arts at all.

Of course, the hasty preparations couldn't change anything, so he suffered a crushing defeat, and within 20 days of resistance, the war was almost over.

After this war, can the Xia Kingdom still exist?
Will Su Yonglin allow the little emperor of Xia to continue to serve as emperor and to lead Xixia?

How will he arrange to be beaten by him to the Xixia Kingdom, which has no temper at all?

Or will he directly recover the land lost by the Han regime for hundreds of years?

Ren Dejing didn't know anything and couldn't guarantee anything, but at this point, Ren Dejing still didn't plan to surrender.

He is a cold-blooded political creature, and as a cold-blooded political creature, the last thing he can do is sacrifice.

In his dictionary, there is no word for sacrifice, he will not sacrifice, and it is absolutely impossible to sacrifice, only others sacrifice for him, without him sacrifice for others.

It is pure wishful thinking to expect him to surrender for the sake of the integrity of the entire imperial city and to save lives.

What is the need for Xixia, who is not in power?
No matter how powerful, harmonious, and peaceful Xixia is, if he is not in power, if he is not the ruler, what is the point?
If the Ming Kingdom wants me to die, then let everyone in the entire imperial city die with me.
