Fu Song

Chapter 400 Combat
Pushing aside the dense bushes and leaves in front of him, Wang Zhu poked out his eyes to look at the busy army below the hillside.

It was an army of more than ten thousand people from the Luo family's ghost kingdom, led by Jihuo, the son of the lord Pugui himself.At this moment, what appeared in front of Wang Zhu was nothing but their forward, probably two or three thousand people.

They are busy burying pots to make food, probably wanting to have a bowl of hot rice to eat immediately after the main force arrives. Dozens of large pots are lined up in several rows, and the green smoke is curling up, probably tens of miles away. The scene here can also be clearly seen from outside.

There is a large flat land at the foot of the mountain, and there is a stream that can provide water, and the terrain around here is also relatively flat. The small hills are mainly covered with bushes, and even large forests are hard to find.

From a military standpoint, it's a great place to be.

It is also a very difficult place for the enemy to ambush.

But Wang Zhu was born in ambush in this place.

There are not many people, only fifty riders.

Luo Gang did not agree with Wang Zhu's bold plan.

In fact, he is not a timid person, but he thinks that using fifty riders to attack an enemy vanguard team of two to three thousand people is purely hitting a stone with a pebble, and each person can drown you with a spit.

But Wang Zhu didn't think so. When he was in Hebei, he saw many such scenes where small groups of troops raided most of the enemy's army and then walked away.

As for life and death, in fact, on the battlefield, how can life and death be decided by oneself?
Even if you are walking on a mountain road, maybe a rock will fall and kill you for no reason?
You never know, accident or tomorrow, which one will visit you first!
Wang Zhu is a typical offensive general.

Even though the task he received now was to defend, what he was thinking about was still how to destroy the enemy more during the defense.

So a series of strategies came out during the debate between Wang Zhu and Luo Gang.

The current attack is just the first step in a series of traps.

Now in the area from Guanling to Puding, there are about [-] troops under Wang Zhu's command, of which [-] are from his own troops, and the other [-] are from Han Kai's Xiang army. Handed it over to Luo Gang.And now, it is basically handed over to Wang Zhu to command.

The other [-] people under Han Kai's command are still stationed in the Bangzhou Guard Base Camp.

The enemies under the mountain are not useless.

At least they still left about a hundred cavalry patrolling for four weeks.

Dozens of soldiers came towards Wang Zhu's hiding place with axes, saws, knives, ropes and other things.

They cut down almost all the burnable things around them, and now they are looking at the dense bushes on the hillside of Wangzhu.

Wang Zhu grinned, showing his white teeth.

He stretched out his hand to touch his war horse, which was also lying on the ground. A small wooden stick was strangled across the horse's mouth. At the moment it was imitated by Wang Zhu, it also bared its teeth. It seemed very humane. laugh.

He glanced at his horse and looked behind him and to both sides. Fifty soldiers and fifty horses all looked murderous.

Wang Zhu drew his knife.

The other hand patted the horse lightly.

At the same time that the war horse stood up abruptly, Wang Zhu was already on his horse.

Holding the guy, talking and laughing, and setting off towards the bushes, the soldiers of Luo's ghost country suddenly saw dozens of guys in full armor riding tall horses.

At that moment, these dozens of guys were stunned.

Their subconscious reaction was to rub their eyes collectively.

It wasn't until they heard the shouts from above and the sound of horseshoes that they finally realized that this was not an illusion, it was a fact.

The enemy is right in front of their eyes, right above their heads.

Someone screamed and turned and ran.

Some people's eyes are staring, and they want to run, but they can't move their legs.

There was even someone whose legs went limp, and sat down on the ground with a bang.

In fact, above this distance, running or not running makes no difference.

Whether you die or not, actually depends on whether you are on the line of these cavalry charges.

In other words, the life and death of these dozens of soldiers at this time is entirely based on luck.

The horse is like a dragon, and the sword is like a rainbow.

Wang Zhu took the lead, but held the handle of the knife tightly, leaned over the horse's back, and let the horse gallop down.

The enemies in front who were too late to dodge were knocked into the air like straw puppets, while the enemies who touched the blades ended up worse, with blood splattering and screams lingering incessantly.

The enemies gathered in one place below were obviously panicked, and the officers were yelling loudly, but the soldiers who had marched for a long time had just relaxed, and there was a group here, a group there, or late water, Or rest, suddenly attacked, eager to gather together, it is not easy at all.

Whenever you are very eager to do something, but fail to do it, this is generally the reason.

The hundred or so cavalry that You Ge was at the side became the life-saving straw for these soldiers of the Luo family ghost kingdom.

And these cavalry also rode their horses to meet them without hesitation.

There are not many enemies. At this moment, they can see clearly that even if it is just a cavalry battle, it is two to one.

But Wang Zhu obviously didn't see it that way.

In his eyes, these cavalrymen on the opposite side are like wooden sculptures and clay sculptures on horseback.

The northern cavalry has always looked down on the southern cavalry.

Especially for a leader of northern cavalry like Wang Zhu, his horizons are even higher.

Although the opponent had twice as many people as him, in his eyes, they were nothing more than a hundred wooden stakes waiting to be chopped.

The fifty cavalrymen behind him were chosen by him and after undergoing rigorous training.But in Wang Zhu's view, he was just taller than a dwarf.

When it comes to riding skills, the southerners are still unable to compare with the guys in the north who grew up on horseback.

With his left hand, he took the divine arm bow that had been strung long ago. Wang Zhu raised his hand and hooked the bow. target.

Seeing the enemy who was dozens of paces overturned and fell under the horse, Wang Zhu inserted his bow into the bow bag beside the saddle with satisfaction.

The sound of Linlin's divine arm bow firing came from beside him.

It's just that his subordinates don't have the ability to shoot with a god-armed bow like him. They all hold the bow with both hands and then put the bow in the hair bag, and then draw the knife.

This method of combat originated from Xiao Ding.

Originally, for a person like Wang Zhu, it was extremely reluctant to use the divine arm bow like this.Drawing the bow for a long time without firing it will cause great damage to the divine arm bow. If a divine arm bow can be shot a hundred times, then it is not bad if it can be shot fifty times without breaking.

It was someone like Xiao Ding who was not worried about not being able to get the God Arm Bow, so he used it regardless of wear and tear, but this kind of usage allowed his soldiers to have a higher survival rate in the war.

But this is only for Xiao Ding.

For other troops, human life is actually not worth much. If one person dies in battle, it is worth ten or twenty pennies.

It was only when Wang Zhu came under Xiao Cheng's subordinates that he realized what it means to buy one's life with money.

In Xiao Cheng's view, this kind of wear and tear is simply a normal thing. What Xiao Cheng told him was that a qualified soldier is worth much more than these equipments, so the soldiers are equipped with the best armor. , the best bow, the sharpest weapon.

Xiao Cheng even told him that when there is no need to go all out, saving the lives of the soldiers is the most important thing.

Many of Xiao Cheng's words about leading soldiers are the opposite of what Wang Zhu had come into contact with before.

But Wang Zhu found that in this way, the loyalty, combat effectiveness, and morale of the soldiers were even higher.

The soldiers of Luo Shi Ghost Country were dumbfounded.

Because they found that as soon as the cavalry of the two sides confronted each other, their comrades in arms were shot down like dumplings.The two sides rushed through the blocking of their own cavalry, and then rushed towards the infantry like a group of ants in a hot pot.

The pawns scattered with a bang.

The enemy galloped past without any scruples. Under the cold light, he stepped on a bloody path among the pawns. When the vanguard generals of the Luo family's ghost country finally gathered more than a thousand soldiers, they formed an army formation. At that time, the enemy had already left.

When Ji Huo arrived, he saw corpses all over the place, fragments of eyes, and soldiers who were somewhat absent-minded.

He was furious, if the generals did not stop him, he would have chopped down the vanguard general.

But Wang Zhu's harassment teased Ji Huo's nerves all the time.

A mere fifty riders is like a mosquito in the dark night. When you look for him with wide eyes, you can't find his trace, but when you close your eyes or turn off the light, the buzzing sound will let you Couldn't sleep at all.

After connecting for two days, Ji Huo finally couldn't bear it anymore, he organized all the queens in the army to encircle and suppress this annoying mosquito.

Although Ji Huo led an army of more than ten thousand men, there were not many cavalry under his command.

In fact, under the terrain of Qianxinan, large-scale cavalry is useless at all.

A five-hundred-man cavalry is the entirety of this ten-thousand-man army.

A day later, the cavalry finally followed Wang Zhu's whereabouts.

They chased after the team excitedly, but they didn't know that they were falling into each other's trap step by step.

On the third day, when it was only tens of miles away from Puding, this cavalry fell into a deadly situation and was wrapped in dumplings by Wang Zhusi.

The arrows were like locusts, and the stones were like rain. This cavalry only lasted for an hour before they were all beheaded by Wang Zhu.

In the evening, Ji Huo led the main force to arrive, and only saw the corpses of his subordinates neatly piled up on the roadside.

Five hundred people were blocked by the enemy like a city wall. If you want to pass, you have to remove these corpses first.

Such a situation is self-evident to the blow to morale.

Before confronting the enemy, Ji Huo had already killed nearly a thousand people.

Moreover, Ji Huo had never encountered such a fighting style before.

The enemy is as cunning as a fox and as ferocious as a hungry wolf.

Ji Huo had learned his lesson, and just led his team forward step by step, ignoring the provocations of the opponent's cavalry.

Anyway, you dozens of cavalry, do you really dare to attack my camp?
Under such thinking, Ji Huo also ignored the deceiving formations made by these cavalry at night.

Then, he started again.

This time, there were not dozens of cavalry.

Wang Zhu led thousands of subordinates and launched a full-scale attack at night.

When the cavalry broke through their camp as the vanguard, they hadn't recalled it until the main force under Wang Zhu's command swarmed in, and they realized that this time was a real large-scale attack.

Here comes the wolf!
Here comes the wolf!
Cry wolf every day.

But when the wolf really came, everyone's nerves relaxed.

Fighting overnight, Jihuo's camp turned into a blazing torch in the night.

The number of enemies was only one-third of theirs, but the result of this battle ended in Jihuo's defeat.

Ji Huo fled in embarrassment under the protection of the guards, and ran for dozens of miles in one breath before he stabilized his position.

The sky was bright, and the remnant soldiers and defeated generals were gathered together. There were more than ten thousand troops, but one third had disappeared, one third had lost their helmets and armor, and they couldn't even find their weapons.At this moment, let alone go forward to fight the enemy, they are already thankful that the enemy does not chase after them.

Wang Zhu did not chase after him.

After hacking and killing for a while, they swaggered all the way back to Puding, where the master craftsmen were leading countless migrant workers to build their camp.

The next step is to take a break and wait for that unlucky Ji Huo to come back and attack their camp. At that time, he can have a look at his own defense skills.

At this point, Luo Gang admired Wang Zhu's ability to use troops to the extreme, and no longer interfered with Wang Zhu's use of troops, and returned directly to Guanling with more than a thousand troops.

Ji Huo with a broken leg is no longer enough, he Luo Gang can't waste his good time with this lame guy.There are too many things waiting to be done by yourself!
Different from the ups and downs in Guanling, in Juzhou, the coalition forces of Tianwu Army and Tiannan Army commanded by Yang Wanfu resisted the nearly [-] troops led by Tang Nu, but they fought in a satisfactory manner. waves.

Whether it's Yang Wanfu or Tang Nu, they are all major students trained by the Song army. One of the two sides has a military advantage, and the other has a geographical advantage. If you dare to use it, it will be easy for the enemy to catch the loophole, and that dangerous move will become a defeated move.

Therefore, playing steadily is the best choice.

Even if there is a problem with this style of play, there is a chance to make up for it by dispatching troops to the future.

Yang Wanfu was naturally not in a hurry, because he knew that the longer the stalemate lasted, the easier it would be for huge changes on the battlefield.

Right now, there is a powerful army going all the way through the mountains and forests!
