Fu Song

Chapter 618 Two Wars
Ren Zhongying, who had been waiting in full force for a long time, was immediately greeted by a rain of arrows.

A few hundred steps ahead of their formation, some small traps were also arranged.

It's extremely simple, just dig a lot of small pits on the ground, the pits are so shallow that they can barely fit a person's fist, but for a war horse galloping at high speed, these small pits are deadly.

When you step on it, there is basically a click, and the leg breaks.

After turning his back on his horse, Ren Zhong roared, raised his shield and raised his knife, and charged forward first.

None of the opponent's cavalry who rushed into the character-shaped encirclement survived. Ren Zhong chopped off the head of the last cavalryman who was still struggling on the ground. He raised his head and squinted at the front. A large number of enemy infantry followed the cavalry.At this moment, their arrow rain had already covered the two square formations in front, and the soldiers of the Song army were overturned to the ground row by row.

"Wind!"

"Go forward!"

Ren Zhong roared loudly.

On the top of the city, the projected feather arrows cover the sky and the sun, but most of the enemy's attacking infantry are equipped with various shields, and some even hold a wooden pot cover or something, but dealing with this kind of projectile feather arrows Arrows are enough.Their crossbowmen hid outside the range of the covered shooting on the city, and took advantage of the time when the Song army was dealing with the cavalry below the city, they covered up and attacked the Song army violently.

The army of Qi State was also the army of Song State.

As for the use of infantry, the outstanding generals of the Song Dynasty probably belonged to that kind of peak level.All kinds of flower work, skills, and gaps, they have already explored thoroughly.

With the sound of shouting, the pawns on both sides finally faced each other.

This is the most tragic fight.

Behind everyone, there are more soldiers pushing forward, and there is no way for you to retreat.

At this time, even if that person is afraid and wants to run, you can't.

Have you ever experienced the feeling of being squeezed by people with your feet dangling in the air while still moving forward on the bus?
This time is.

Everyone doesn't need to look with their eyes. The only thing they can do is to hold the spear in their hands and stab forward.

Then you will see the blood of the enemy opposite you rush out, and watch the terrified eyes of the other party lose their luster.

Or, after feeling a burst of pain, all the strength is lost from the body.

You will panic, you will be afraid, but it doesn't work.

Until the world turns black before your eyes.

And even if you die, you may not be able to fall to the ground. Sometimes, the dead people on both sides are still crowded together, receiving round after round of spears.

It finally landed on the ground, no longer being slaughtered, but countless pairs of big feet stepped up again.

Beyond recognition,

It was even trampled down to the point where only a piece of skin remained.

After the army passed, it was almost like this.

Being able to survive such a battle has nothing to do with courage, nothing to do with courage, but only luck.

Without strict discipline, the average soldier would easily collapse in the face of such a cruel fight. Let alone fighting the enemy, when the enemy is still some distance away from him, the timid soldier may escape.

And this will cause a chain reaction.

That's why Li Yan put Ren Zhong's battalion behind the Daopin glyph.

Even if each of the newly recruited battalions has experience as a soldier, and they all have a bitter hatred against the opponent, but after all, they have been defeated in the past and were completely defeated by their opponents. Naturally, they are not as strong as their own soldiers in terms of confidence. .

In the battle against the enemy, we have always paid attention to meeting on a narrow road and the brave wins.

Faith is the most important thing in it.

I am invincible,

The belief in victory will make soldiers more brave in battle.

"Let go!" Accompanied by Ren Zhong's roar, Ren Zhongying's few crossbow arrows suddenly shot out, overturning a group of the enemy's back row, causing a commotion among the opponents.

This is the benefit of fighting against the city.

The crossbowmen of your enemy, who have become an organization, dare not get too close to the city at this moment, because the crossbowmen lack effective protection. Once they enter the range of the archers on the city, the covering shooting can cause them destruction in an instant. blow.

The Xin Song army, trained under the strict new style of drills, slowly showed its advantages after fighting for a moment, and after the first few rows of soldiers on both sides fell down.

In the sound of the officers' orders, even though the soldiers felt the same fear in their hearts, their movements were not slow at all.

Swish, swipe, spears stabbed up row by row.

Take a step forward and stab a gun.

There was no shouting, the soldiers opened their eyes wide, tightly shut their mouths, mechanically followed the call, stepped forward, lunged, turned slightly, stabbed, took another step forward with their guns in their hands, and then retracted their guns.

Repeated mechanically again and again.

There are no other superfluous movements, the simplest movements that are directly engraved deep in the soul of every infantryman, even if his mind is empty and empty at this moment, he can still subconsciously move after hearing the order. Make this action.

The boring and tasteless training, at this moment, has become a manifestation of great power.

The two battalions of the Song army pushed the Qi army in front of them and began to retreat.

Don't underestimate this little advantage. If the Qi army can't turn around immediately, the next moment will be the beginning of their collapse.

The generals of the Qi army kept roaring, and some people even rushed to the front, trying hard to turn the situation around.

Ren Zhong has experienced many battles, and he can see the key points at a glance.

How could he allow Qi Jun to stabilize his position again?
No, you can't.

They must be made to take another step back. Once they step back, and then they step back, collapse will come.

"Kill!" He howled and charged forward with his knife in hand.

He was a little crazy, until now he was still bare-armed and without armor, his upper body was bloody, and he didn't know whether it was the enemy's blood or his own blood.

These five hundred people rushed out from the gap and rushed into the Qi army formation in front.

The soldiers of the Qi army, who were already a little bit unbearable, couldn't bear it any longer after this bastard fist, and turned around and started running behind with a crash.

If you don't run, you can't. If you don't run, those in front will retreat, and they will be involved.

As soon as the one in front noticed that the resistance behind him disappeared, he first started to step back, then turned around and ran away.

The two infantry battalions of the Xin and Song Dynasties did not follow the enemy's footsteps to catch up. Instead, after stabbing all the enemies that could be reached by the spear to death, they still followed the order one step forward, and then one step forward. At this time, there is no more order to turn around and stab.

Ren Zhong chased for dozens of steps, and he didn't wake up until a rain of arrows hit his head and overturned more than a dozen of his brothers. The sound of the golden gong on the tower also woke him up on the spot.

"Retreat!" Holding back a brother who had been hit by an arrow and fell to the ground, Ren Zhong held up his shield and began to retreat.

The two infantry battalions were waiting for Ren Zhong, and they didn't start to move until Ren Zhong's troops had all retreated into the gap between their two battalions.

The movement of the retreat is smooth and smooth, which is pleasing to the eye.

The four rows of infantry in front did not move, while the six rows behind turned around in unison, retreated twenty steps, stopped, turned around, and moved forward with their guns raised.At this time, the four rows in place turned around and turned backwards. The wonderful thing was that the six rows behind were moving, and a gap had been left for them, allowing them to easily slip through the gap.

After retreating forty steps, the four rows of soldiers stopped, turned around, raised their guns, and waited for the six rows ahead.

Like an ebbing tide, two battalions of thousands of soldiers retreated to the city one wave after another.

In the middle, Ren Zhong, who watched this scene, opened his mouth in shock.

The Hebei Frontier Army he was in before was the elite of the Song Army's elite, but it was not as powerful as this.

Looking back at the soldiers under his command, he couldn't help but feel a little ashamed. After returning to the city, he had to practice hard.

The exercise manual given to him by General Li Yan needs to be studied carefully, but there are many unfamiliar words in it, so he needs to find someone to guide him.

It's no wonder that he puts his own battle camp behind. Compared with others, he is indeed inferior.

Under the banner of the Qi Army's Central Army fluttering in the distance, General Chen Tiansong of the Qi Army frowned. This round of defeat was defeated, and it was nothing serious, but what the opponent's pawns showed was surprising. .

It is different from the pawns of the Song Dynasty that I am familiar with.

I had already anticipated that the first battle would inevitably suffer setbacks, and I also prepared a small surprise for the opponent in the back. If the opponent chased up more than a hundred steps, the other two troops ambushing on the two wings would be able to come over immediately. Not to mention eating all the opponents, it is always possible to bite off a tail.

But the opponent has no intention of pursuing at all.

This is different from the previous Song Army.

More importantly, Chen Tiansong's scalp tingled with the discipline displayed by his opponent when he retreated.

There is no gap to take advantage of.

He looked up at the city in the distance.

Some worry.

One leaf knows autumn.

This Li Yan didn't have a big reputation before, and he was said to be a barbarian from Yunnan, but now it seems that he must not be ignored!

On the top of the city, Li Yan stroked his beard and laughed.

And his laughter also infected everyone on the top of the city.

The first game was won cleanly.

In this battle, Li Yan is also telling everyone, not to mention relying on the city, let alone fighting outside the city, we are not afraid of our opponents at all.

Look, doesn't this just beat us to pieces?
That's how confidence is built.

Sometimes, some small tricks are not derogatory, but can play an extremely important positive role.

At this moment, above the top of the city, there is a relaxed atmosphere.

Don't look at the enemies all over the mountains and plains, the number of them is several times that of ours, but that's all!
Come one, do one, come two, beat a pair.

The victory drum sounded, and the city gate opened. First, Ren Zhong's troops slowly retreated into the city, and then the other two battalions retreated back to the city like flowing water.

Outside the city, the remains of Paoze who died in battle were also counted one by one by the young and strong who left the city, and then transported back to the city.

As for the corpses of the enemies under the city, if the opponent asks to be buried, the other side will not refuse to agree.If the other party ignores it, in this weather, there is no fear of any plague staying behind. If you want to stay there and let your soldiers look down, the city is also full of optimism.If the weather is hot, it will be a little troublesome. Usually, they are piled together and set on fire.

In Xiayicheng, the last army to withdraw was bitten by the enemy's cavalry. At this moment, it could only meet the enemy in a circular formation. Obviously, the army that was retreating all the way as a resistance was at this moment. Even bows and crossbows are insufficient.

"Kaicheng, I'll go out to meet them!" Wei Wu squinted his eyes for a while, then raised his longbow and saber.

"General, this is obviously a trap. They obviously have enough troops to take down this infantry in one fell swoop, but they only used a small half of their troops to besiege, and the rest are out. This is obviously to lure the city to rescue them. Expand the results!" Zhou Wu repeatedly shook his head.

Wei Wu laughed: "I don't know if this is a trap? But, the opponent underestimated me too much. This trap is not deep enough to trap a wolf or almost, but what if it is a tiger? This is going to be a cocoon!"

"General, there is no need to take this risk!"

"Let the soldiers in the city see us do nothing but watch our friendly troops being slowly killed outside the city. Do you think it will have a good impact on the war, or a bad impact?" Wei Wu said.

"Then general, I'll go, you can't take risks!" Zhou Guang said.

"Which one is more sure, you or me?" Wei Wu shook his head.

Zhou Guang was taken aback: "Of course it is you. If you are a tiger, I, I am a hungry wolf at most!"

"So outside, I can only go!" Wei Wu said with a smile: "Defend the city and be ready to respond."

"As ordered!"

Under the city, five hundred cavalry guards were already waiting at the city gate with their horses. Wei Wu looked at the quiver hanging on the horse, turned on his horse with a smile, and said, "Attack!"

When the city gate opened, Wei Wu took the lead and rushed out.

Outside the city, Zhao Jun's cavalry were overjoyed.

Chasing this Song Army infantry all the way to here, I could have easily bit it down, but seeing that Xiayi City is so close, if I can lure the city to send a soldier to rescue, then the rescuer can also be rescued. Swallowing it in one gulp can maximize the results of the battle, and at the same time, it can greatly damage the morale of the defenders in the city.

Originally, it was just hopeful, because anyone with a little bit of experience would be able to see that this was a trap, but he really didn't expect that the Song army in the city was actually a firecracker, and it would come at any point. up.

"Good guy!" He smirked and started his horse, saying, "Do them."

Thousands of cavalry came roaring.

Zhang Tie was actually desperate.

As a broken army, he has done his best. It is no small miracle that he can survive until now and see Xiayi City, but his luck ends here. When he was surrounded by Zhao Jun cavalry regiments , he knew that there was no more luck.

There were two thousand cavalrymen chasing up, and as far as he knew, all the cavalrymen in Xiayi City added up to less than one thousand cavalry.Moreover, Xiayi is about to face several times more enemy siege, and it is impossible to take risks to rescue his army, which only has a few hundred people left.

You can only fight until the last moment.

I hope my family will be treated well after my death.

Since joining the Song Army these days, he still has a clear understanding of many policies of the New Song Dynasty.

Desperate people can always burst out the last unexpected energy.

The enemy didn't try their best, they were still approaching Xiayi City with difficulty.

Until the gate of the city was wide open, a group of cavalry rushed out brazenly, seeing the flying flag, Zhang Zun's eyes were straightened.

It's Wei Wu.
