Chapter 162 Breakthrough
"Big...bang...bang...bang...bang...bang..."
In the first year of Xuanhe in the Song Dynasty and the fifth year of Yongning in Xia, the war drums that were shaking in the Liu Fa army camp outside the outskirts of Tong'an City had already been beaten. The sound of war drums seemed to be hitting the hearts of every Song army soldier, echoing on the battlefield where the entire Song and Xia battles were fought.
The commander of the Song army, Liu Fa, a famous general in the northwest, was covered in clothes and riding a magical war horse. He slowly walked among the soldiers gathered around Liu Fa.
The March breeze blew slightly the white hair and beards on Liu Fa's face, and the purple cloak behind him also floated in the breeze.
The breeze was gentle, and it also blew on the battlefield outside the Song army camp, and on the soldiers of Song and Xia who were sacrificing their lives on the battlefield. The summer breeze was extremely cool, but at this moment it became extremely bloody and turned into a bloody storm.
The commander of the Xia army, King Li Chage of Jin, sent out a surprise troops. Xia's fierce general Xiao Heda led thousands of elite cavalry and came down from Qianniu Mountain and defeated the Song army Jiao Anjie's troops like a bamboo shoot. Liu Fa's army also opened up in the back road and was attacked by Richard from both sides. The Song army was defeated and defeated only in a short while.
Brother Richard came out in full swing and attacked the Song army desperately. At this time, he had defeated the Song army, the left army, and the right army, and rushed towards Liu Fa's army. If Brother Richard defeated Liu Fa's army again, and even captured or killed Liu Fa, then Brother Richard would have a great victory. Judging from the current situation, this possibility is already very large, and it can even be said to be a foregone conclusion.
The so-called defeat was like a mountain of fall. At this time, the Song army, especially the rural soldiers in Liu Fa's army, had already been dispersed by the Xia army's cavalry, and they cried loudly and ran all over the mountains and fields, and had already dispersed the main force of the Song army. The main army of the Song army wanted to organize a counterattack, but the team that had finally gathered was dispersed by these people, and many Song army were fleeing in scattered by these rural soldiers and civilians.
The commander of the Xia army, Li Cha, was a very good soldier. He divided the elite cavalry into several teams, like sharp knives, inserted into the Song army, chasing the Song army and killing the soldiers of the Song army. This made the Song army even more frightened and panicked, and the consequences of a fearful and panicked army can be imagined.
The Song army trampled on each other, fearing that they could not escape, and even killed each other because of their escape.
However, the Song Xihe Army was a army of hundreds of battles, and was an elite army of the Song Dynasty, especially the 500 personal soldiers who fought with Liu Fa all year round. Therefore, more than 2,000 soldiers in the Xihe Army did not flee in all directions, but gathered in Liu Fa's central army camp.
At this time, there were only more than 2,000 people gathered around Liu Fa, including Liu Fa's 500 personal soldiers, and almost all of them were injured.
More than two thousand Song troops were silently wrapped in wounds, holding various weapons stained with blood. Those who were seriously injured supported each other, staring at Liu Fa, the commander of the Song army's Xihe army and the famous general in the northwest of the Song Dynasty.
"Soldiers! My good men of the Song Dynasty, my brave soldiers of Xihe Army!" Liu Fa raised his right hand and strangled the reins of the horse with his left hand. Under the gaze of more than two thousand Song soldiers, he shouted: "At this point, Liu can only say that all this is my fault! You have fought hard for many days and have been loyal to the Song Dynasty, the court, and the Majesty. You have a clear conscience! Therefore, I promise you to go by yourself, not to be a fleeing army, nor to punish the military law. You should leave now, retreat to Xiaoguan, and not look back. But I have a plea to help me, that is, I can punish me.
Take the remains of soldiers who died in battle and take them home. Don’t let them stay in a foreign country and become lonely ghosts. Those who cannot be brought back.
.
.
Can't take it back.
.
.
He sent a ban on their family and said that I was ashamed of them."
At the end of Liu Fa's voice was already extremely choked. So many heroes and good men followed him out of seclusion, but now there are so many people who cannot return to their hometown and are about to bury their bones in a foreign land.
"Old General Liu." A Song general choked and asked, "Where are you going?"
"Me?" Liu Fa looked at the gray sky on the battlefield and said slowly: "I have been fighting on the battlefield at the age of seventeen. I have been fighting on the battlefield for decades. I have defeated countless thieves and killed countless people. It is enough. This life is enough! I am old, but I have experienced this defeat and have no face to go back. Today I will donate my remaining body to the battlefield to repay the country and thank the holy grace."
"Elder General Liu won't leave, and I won't leave!"
"That's right, where will the old general go, we are willing to follow!"
"We are willing to die with the old general!"
When everyone heard this, they spoke one after another.
"Nonsense!" Liu Fa was so angry that his white beards floated. He rode on the horse and said with anger, "I am old, and I am not willing to die. I am still young and I still need to continue fighting for the country in the future. How can I follow me to the underworld? Let's go back now. This is my order and must not be violated."
"Elder General!" Huo Chengwu, the commander of Liu Fa's personal soldiers, slowly pulled out his waist and said, "The old general shows his ambitions for his death and serves his loyalty. We are willing to go to the Huangquan with the old general. If the old general forces him, Huo will die in front of the old general."
"Canglang!" The sound of the weapon being unsheathed was heard. Liu Fa's five million personal soldiers drew out the weapon one after another, and looked at Liu Fa and Huo Chengwu with great firm eyes.
"We are willing to go to the underworld with the old general!" The soldiers of the Song army also raised their weapons and shouted loudly.
"Since that's the case, let's follow me to break out of the siege." Liu Fa said after seeing this for a while.
Liu Fa had the will to die. After fighting them, he either died at the enemy or committed suicide. But at this time, more than 2,000 soldiers of the Song army were willing to follow him, so Liu Fa gave up the idea of serving the country with death, and at least he had to lead them to break through the siege before talking.
"Elder General, where is the direction to break through?" Huo Chengwu asked anxiously.
At this time, the central army shouted and fought, and the sound of fighting was getting louder and louder. The Xixia army was getting closer and closer. Everyone had even heard the proud laughter of the Xixia warriors. Therefore, to break through, you must find the right direction as soon as possible.
"Break through the north!" Liu Fa glared at Huo Chengwu and whispered: "Jing Lue, after breaking through the siege, you can take them to find Li Sanjian and Li Jingluo. You can follow him in the future. In the future, you need to obey him, as if you obey me."
Li Sanjian? What kind of thing is he? Why did we follow him? Huo Chengwu said in surprise when he heard this.

"Bang...bang...bang...bang..."
"Woo...woo...woo...woo..."
As the Xia army approached Liu Fa's central tent, a drum whistle suddenly came from Liu Fa's central tent. Amid the shocking drum whistle, a group of people suddenly rushed out of Liu Fa's central tent, and the leader was a white-haired veteran.
The white-haired veteran jumped over the horse with a sword and rushed to the front.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
"Go around and don't let them run away!"
The Xia army generals did not have many troops, so they shouted and surrounded them.
At this time, the Xia army had approached the Song Zhongjun tent, so everyone who came out of the Central Army tent was extremely important. The white-haired veteran general in charge of this name might be Liu Fa, the commander of the Song army.
A Xia general was about to make his first contribution and urged his horse to meet Liu Fa. When he arrived in front of Liu Fa, he shouted loudly, and stabbed him with a gun.
Liu Fa sideways and avoids the opponent's stab, and the tip of the spear penetrates from his left rib. Liu Fa clamps the spear with his left arm. Xia Jiang was shocked to see this and snatches it hard, but for a moment, he cannot regain the spear.
Liu Fa shouted loudly, swung his right arm and slashed on Xia Jiang's left shoulder. Xia Jiang had a thick layer of shoulder armor in the left shoulder. Although Liu Fa was old, he was extremely powerful. With one slash, he split the shoulder armor and cut off the name Xia Jiang, his head and shoulder with one slash.
Xia slowly fell off the headless corpse, blood splattered everywhere, splashing Liu Fa's face and dyed Liu Fa's white hair and beard red.
"Fight to the death!" Liu Fa raised his sword and shouted loudly.
The general of the ape arm is not old yet, and his aura is swallowing up hundreds of thousands of feather forests! Although Liu Fa is old, his courage is not inferior to that of the past. At this moment, the blood dyes the white hair and beards red, but it looks even more majestic and majestic, making people dare not look directly at him.
"Fight to death! Fight to death! Fight to death!" Liu Fa's personal army commander Huo Chengwu held a long-handled golden gourd hammer, leading five hundred cavalry, and followed Liu Fa towards the Xia army.
"Fight to death! Fight to death! Fight to death!" Countless Song army soldiers swarmed out from Liu Fa's central army, and the cavalry with horses and walking without horses followed Liu Fa, Huo Chengwu and others to fight towards the Xia army.
"Kill!" The people around Liu Fa were constantly shot down, but Liu Fa still raised his sword and led thousands of Song troops to launch a decisive counterattack against the Xia army.
The Xia army was caught off guard and was killed by Liu Fa's army. They ran away with their heads and avoided Liu Fa and others.
After paying a heavy price, Liu Fa and others finally broke out into a bloody road and ran towards Shuofang City.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
"Escaped to the northeast?" After the commander of the Xia army, King Li Chage of Jin, Liu Faye led his troops to break through the two lines of defense of the Xia army and rushed towards Shuofang City. After staying for a while, he couldn't help but murmur: "In the time, Fa is headed by Fa. Liu Fa is indeed famous. He actually went against the rules and fled to my hinterland?"
After the Song army was defeated by the Xia army, the defeated troops fled south or west, but Liu Fa actually led the army north, broke through the encirclement, and fled to the hinterland of Xia.
This is also one of the reasons why Liu Fa was able to break through the siege.
"I am instructing all prefectures and passes to the gates and passes. I will not let anyone pass. I will ask Xiao Heda's troops to put down everything they have and go north to chase Liu Fa. Whether they are alive or dead, I will definitely have a heavy reward." Brother Richard then ordered.
Compared with Liu Fa, the other Song generals and Song soldiers are not worth mentioning in the eyes of Richard. If they can capture or kill Liu Fa, they will surely shock the world, and the Xia army will also have great momentum.
