Across the Water Margin: Officials of Ximen

These Khitan troops may still have a strong body, but they have been conquered by the Jurchens in their souls after repeated defeats, and have lost the courage to fight against the Jurchens.

Xiao Yixue led the team to kill some fleeing Khitan troops, but still could not control the morale of the troops, more and more Khitan troops threw down their weapons and fled to the camp in the north of the city.

Although there was also a Liao army camp in the west of the city, no Liao army retreated there.After seeing the menacing Ximen Qing army, these Liao troops thought it would be better to leave the battlefield as far away as possible.

Seeing that Xiao Yixue could not rely on the assembled army of defeated soldiers, he had no choice but to take the tribal cavalry from the Shiwei and Zub tribes who had not yet been dispersed by the rebels to meet the enemy.

Lu Yanlun was also good at using soldiers. Seeing that Ximen Qing's army had killed Xiao Yi and Xue's army into chaos, he immediately commanded the Han army under his command to bite Xiao Yi and Xue's army tightly, and let Xiao Yi and Xue's army suffer from the enemy.

In addition, except for the archers guarding the city wall, Lu Yanlun transferred all the [-] reserve troops out of the city and threw them into a decisive battle with Xiao Yixue's army.

Outside the west gate of Linhuangfu City, the sound of killing was loud, Ximen Qing's army, Xiao Yi's Xue army and Lu Yanlun's army fought together.

Xiao Yixue was attacked by the enemy, and had to divide his troops to fight.He let the Wei Department of the black chariot fight with Lu Yanlun's army, and let the cavalry of the Zoubu Department launch a countercharge against Ximen Qing's army.

The Zubu tribe is a nomadic tribe in the steppe and desert known as the Tatars in later generations, and now belongs to the recruiting department of the Northwest Road of Shangjing Road in the Liao Kingdom.

Because they are far away from Liaodong, these cavalrymen of the Zoubu tribe have never fought against the Jurchen before, and they have no fear of the Jin army yet.

Therefore, when Xiao Yixue ordered them to fight the Jin army, these warriors on the prairie brandished their swords and rushed forward bravely.

A bloody fight began.

Facts have proved that the Jubu cavalry wearing leather robes, bone arrows and crude weapons cannot resist the Jurchen elite cavalry wearing heavy armor and holding sophisticated weapons.

As soon as the two armies clashed, the cavalrymen of the Zoubu Department who rushed to the forefront were cut off their horses one by one.

Ximenqing's thousand cavalry were the elite divisions of Wanyan's Southern Expedition and Northern War. They were not only brave, but also fully armed, wearing heavy armor, holding spears or sharp swords. One counts as ten.

The Jubu cavalrymen couldn't cut through the Jurchen cavalry's armor with a single blow, but the Jurchen cavalry could easily pierce the Jubu cavalry's body with a single shot.

Mao Zilian's [-] cavalry were also armored and well-trained warriors, and they also had the upper hand against the tribal cavalry.

There was a gap in combat effectiveness between the two sides. Although there were more cavalry in the Zoubu Department, they suffered a big loss as soon as they fought.

Capture the thief first, capture the king, Xiao Yixue sees that the battle is not going well, so he sets his target on Ximen Qing.

At this time, Ximen Qing had only two hundred guards around him, but his bearskin battle flag was erected behind him, making him unobtrusive on the battlefield.

Xiao Yixue ordered a warrior from the Divination Department to lead troops to assault Ximen Qing, the leader of the Jin Army, in order to turn the tide of the battle.

The warriors of the Zoubu Department got the general order, led dozens of men to turn left and right, avoiding the fighting soldiers of the two armies, and killed Ximenqing's central army.

Ximen Qing had been paying attention to the battle situation ahead, and suddenly found dozens of Liao cavalry cavalrymen rushing out of the battle group with their superb riding skills, and came to kill their own central army.

The leading Liao general was tall and strong, holding an iron bone flower, killed several Jin soldiers along the way, and rushed to the front.

"Hehe~ The Liao army also knows the art of war to capture thieves and capture kings!"

Ximen Qing didn't panic, took out the "Piercing Willow Bow" with his left hand, and drew out five spiked arrows with his right hand, bent the bow and mounted the arrows, aiming at the fierce general of the Liao army.

"Swish, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!" Ximen Qing shot five consecutive arrows in one breath.

The warriors from the Obfuscation Department were also very skilled. Seeing Ximen Qing's arrows coming, he swung his iron bone and knocked out two spike arrows, and managed to pass another arrow.

It's a pity that Ximen Qing shot five arrows in a row, and there were two arrows that could not be avoided. One arrow hit the chest of the warrior from the Divination Department, and the other arrow hit his face.

The strong man fell off his horse, seeing that he was dying.

Seeing the warriors of the tribe fell off their horses, the remaining dozens of cavalry from the Zoubu tribe suddenly lost the courage to attack Ximen Qing's army.

At this moment, Ximen Qing's Lianzhu arrows shot again, killing several cavalrymen who charged the nearest.

Seeing that there was no hope of winning, the remaining dozens of cavalry from the Zoubu Department turned their horses and fled north.

Xiao Yixue was so angry that his attempt to attack Ximen Qing, the leader of the Jin army, failed.

At this moment, two generals suddenly came out from the rebellious army, and charged towards Xiao Yixue with their spears and knives swung.

These two will be Yue Fei and Shi Jin.When Xiao Yixue wanted to capture and kill Ximen Qing and quickly end the battle, Ximen Qing also issued a military order to the two of them to kill the general and capture the flag.

Seeing the ferocity of the second general, the guards around Xiao Yixue immediately stepped forward to fight.

Shi Jin brandished a three-pointed and two-edged knife, knocked down four or five Liao army guards in one go, and shouted like a thunderbolt, "Liao dog! Take your life!"

Yue Fei's spear was like a dragon, and he also overturned the Liao army blocking the way in front of him, and killed Xiao Yixue in front of him.

Chapter 7

When Ximen Qing attacked Xiao Yixue's army, he saw the weakness of this army. Obviously, it was a makeshift army with internal divisions and no subordinates.

When Ximen Qing's army came down from the hill, a large number of Khitan soldiers fled.

Even if they stayed in place to resist, their command was chaotic.

How can such an army be invincible when it meets Ximen Qing's well-trained army with high morale?

However, the chaotic Liao army still had 3 to [-] pigs, and they couldn't kill them all in a short while.

In order to establish the victory as soon as possible, Ximenqing ordered Shi Jin and Yue Fei, two fierce generals, to behead the leader of the Liao army, Xiao Yixue.

"Jiuwenlong" Shi Jin has the courage of all men, he has killed more than ten Liao generals in the rebellious army, and the younger Yue Fei is not much inferior to him.

After the two received their orders, they led a group of elite soldiers to rush out of the battle group, and rushed to Xiao Yixue's body.

Xiao Yixue was surrounded and protected by more than 300 relatives. When Shi Jin and Yue Fei came to kill them, these relatives all stepped forward to stop them.

Shi Jin waved the three-pointed, two-edged knife like a windmill, and if it touched it, he would die, and if he touched it, he would be injured.Xiao Yixue's relatives did not have a single general in front of him.

On the other side, the big gun in Yue Fei's hand flew up and down, killing more than a dozen people in a short time.

"General, those are two demons, retreat quickly! If you don't leave, it will be too late!"

A lieutenant beside Xiao Yixue saw that the pro-army who rushed up was killed by Shi Jin and Yue Fei, and saw that the two brave enemies, who were like gods and ghosts, were about to break out, so he hurriedly urged Xiao Yixue .

As Xiao Yixue's pro-army commander, the chief general Xiao Yixue will not retreat, and he dare not escape alone, otherwise he will not be able to escape the military law.

"God! Where are my great Khitan warriors?"

Xiao Yixue cried out in pain unwillingly, hit his horse and fled to the north of the city.

"Retreat, retreat, return to the northern camp of the city and stick to it!"

Xiao Yixue shouted to the generals around him, asking them to lead the troops back and regroup.

Xiao Yixue walked fast, but the soldiers behind him carrying the handsome flag were a few steps slower.

Shi Jin killed all the Liao troops blocking his way, but failed to capture Xiao Yixue.He urged his horse to catch up from behind, shouted loudly, cut off Xiao Yixue's commander-in-chief flag, and then beheaded the Liao army's flag bearer holding half of the flagpole in front of the horse.
