Fu Song

Chapter 708 Jokes
The trap is actually very rough, but the other party's bet is that you know you have fallen into the trap, and you have to come.

Zhou Shuguang didn't dream that thousands of Song troops stationed in Yongqiu would come out in full force. If it really happened, he still felt that he couldn't eat it at all.The combat effectiveness of the Song army has grown rapidly in recent years for all to see.

However, it is impossible for the generals of the Song army to abandon Yongqiu and dispatch all of them.

Zhang Ren should only lead a highly mobile cavalry to do this. The Yongqiu Song Army has two battalions of cavalry with a total of [-] cavalry, plus some scouts from various ministries.

What Zhou Shuguang wanted to eat was Zhang Ren's power.

Compared with the number of ten to one, Zhou Shuguang felt that as long as Zhang Ren came, he would definitely be able to keep them.

Winning this battle will not only lay a good foundation for the subsequent battle of Yongqiu, but also a battle of self-defense, allowing him to command these stragglers more effectively.

Prestige is accumulated on the basis of victories one after another.

No one will respect you as a general who has always lost battles.

In this world of great contention in the future, only those who have military power in their hands will have a place.

If the Liao people really won the war, they would be able to live more comfortably under their hands if they had military power in their hands.

The Liao people are still a world where the strong respect the weak and the strong prey on the strong.

Even if their Empress Dowager Chengtian is working hard to make some changes, the spiritual core of this country will never be shaken in a short period of time.

The defense of the criminal prison camp was loose and broken. When they saw the cavalry of the Song Army rushing over in the distance, they immediately jumped on horses or mules and other livestock that could allow them to run faster, and ran in all directions. run away.

There is no desire to fight at all.

Those criminals who were locked up here squatted numbly in the pens, watching the guards fleeing away, but they didn't have any intention of running away. They squatted there blankly, watching the Song army occupy the place. .

"Neighbors, we are the army under the command of the Son of Song, and we are here to rescue you." Standing in the crowd, Wu Zheng yelled loudly.

The crowd suddenly became commotion.

Chen Liu was close to Yongqiu, and Chen Liu's people had heard a little about Yongqiu's affairs.

Many of them wanted to go to Yongqiu and were caught, but some of them were robbed of everything by Zhao Jun, and then they were arrested and locked up here as fugitives. When they heard about the rescue, they felt excited stand up.

"Quiet!" Wu Zheng pulled out his knife and waved it in the air a few times.

A bright knife is of course more convincing than a roar, and the crowd immediately fell silent.

"Next, we will divide you into teams of 50 people, and each team has a captain!" Wu Zheng said sharply: "The enemy is nearby, maybe there is an enemy hidden among you, and then you want to survive, You must obey the captain's arrangement, but if you violate it, kill! If you make noise during the retreat, kill! If you leave the team, kill!..."

A series of killing words made the prisoners tremble with fear.

The soldiers began to organize the prisoners to line up in groups of 50, with one soldier in each group as the captain.

The organizational efficiency of the Song army was quite high. It took only a quarter of an hour to occupy the criminal prison camp, and the first group of criminal prisoners had already begun to retreat towards Yongqiu under the leadership of the soldiers.

They were walking at a trot.

People's desire for life can always give people more powerful and unexpected power.

Zhang Ren and his cavalry were sitting cross-legged on the ground one by one after feeding the horses with some food and water, slowly gnawing on the dried meat.

The scouts were returning to the team one by one, and enemy soldiers and horses appeared in all directions. With the cavalry as the forerunner, they surrounded them from all sides.

"The enemy is coming out in full force, but they really think highly of us!" Zhang Ren said with a smile.

"He bet that we can't come out in full force." Wu Zheng said.

"Of course we can't come out with all our strength!" Zhang Ren shook his head and said, "Whether the enemy will have another army in ambush outside Yongqiu, we are not sure. We are not afraid of ten thousand, just in case. However, they are still small Look at the strength of our White Feather Army."

"As long as Ren Zhong arrives in time, we can defeat our opponent!" Wu Zheng laughed.

"Have a good rest! We won't attack until the enemies gather together!" Zhang Ren stuffed the last bit of minced meat into his mouth, clapped his hands, and brought the knife across his lap.

The enemy is massing, but the coordination is terrible.There are obvious gaps in all directions, and when an attack is launched at this time, it is easy to defeat the enemy in a certain direction.

If this was a simple battle, Zhang Ren would have done it long ago.

But today, there are still thousands of people who need his rescue, so this kind of style of play is inappropriate.

He was as motionless as a mountain.

He waited for the enemy to come and surround him.

In this way, the enemy will not care about the people who are fleeing for their lives.

And in his battle today, the denser the enemy is, the more combat power he can display.

On a mountain ridge in the distance, Zhou Shuguang stared at the calm cavalry in the distance, the corners of his eyes danced involuntarily, and a very bad feeling made him feel a little depressed.

There are indeed only a thousand opponents,
Everything is proceeding according to his ideas.

But the indifferent attitude of the enemy made him feel that something was wrong.

However, there are generally only two situations for people with this attitude.

One is that the winner is in the palm of his hand, and he doesn't look down on the opponent at all, and everything is under control.

One is that you have the will to die, you are not even afraid of death, and you are afraid of your plots and tricks, what is so great is that you have given this life away.

Who is Song Jun on the opposite side?
"It's really courting death!" Zhou Shu forced himself up to the mountain ridge, and said to Zhou Shuguang: "Brother, the cavalry has completed the siege, do you want to launch an attack?"

"Wait until the encirclement of the infantry is closer!"

"We have three thousand cavalry!" Zhou Shu said loudly.

Zhou Shuguang glanced at him, and Zhou Shuqiang immediately lowered his head.

Another quarter of an hour passed.

As Zhang Ren expected, the enemy didn't care about the fleeing prisoners at all. As bait, they had completed their mission well.

escape?
Where can I escape?

escaped today,

What about tomorrow?
When the sound of intensive war drums sounded from the opposite side, Zhang Yiren jumped up and got on his horse.

A thousand cavalrymen of the Song Army also mounted their horses at the same time.

Holding a four-eyed gun in hand, a horizontal knife on his back, and a thick belt buckled around his waist, each of them has three hand cannons.

"Attack!" Zhang Ren pointed forward with his sword, aiming at the location of the general flag on the opposite side.

Accompanied by the sound of the visor being pulled down, this thousand-man cavalry, led by Zhang Ren, formed a conical offensive lineup and went straight to the front.

On the opposite side, three thousand cavalry roared from all directions.

Early this morning, Hu Fei's right eye kept twitching wildly, even at this time, it still kept twitching.

The left eye jumped for money, and the right eye jumped for disaster. Looking at the Song Army cavalry who rushed up without hesitation, Hu Fei was suddenly frightened.

He winked, and Fang Yuanxin by his side slowed down knowingly.

Seeing them shouting loudly and waving their whips diligently, the speed of the horses under their crotches slowed down significantly, which made the cavalry around them who had already picked up speed overtake them one after another.

The fiery red cloak of Song Jun on the opposite side seemed to be burning under the sunlight.

Then, Hu Fei and Fang Yuan heard a loud noise and rising smoke.

Thousands of cavalry lit the four-eyed guns in their hands one by one.

Within a distance of dozens of steps, the four-eyed blunderbuss exerted tremendous power, and the roar of the explosion accompanied the opponent's knocked off the horse like being cut wheat.

After four consecutive rings, the four-eyed guns weighing more than ten catties in the hands of the cavalrymen of the Song Army turned into hammers they waved again.

The two sides were just a hedge, and the Zhao Jun cavalry directly opposite the Song Army was already defeated.

Hu Fei and Fang Yuan, who were lagging behind, were frightened, and they both led their horses and galloped to the two sides at the same time. Their previous premonition saved their lives.

If they were the ones standing in front of those Song soldiers at this time, they would probably have reported to Lord Yan Wang by now.

The living Zhao army cavalry had the same mentality as Hu Fei and Fang Yuan, and they basically rode their horses as much as possible to bypass the ferocious Song army cavalry.

Because behind them, there are still thick pawns!

It would be the most refreshing thing for the cavalry of the Song Army to be entangled by the infantry, and then they would come from behind.

Zhang Yi cut off an enemy cavalry in front of him who couldn't dodge with his sword, and his eyes were empty.

Then he raised his eyes and looked forward, a forest of long spears was more than a hundred paces away.

And with the sound of the golden drum, countless arrows immediately covered the sky and fell towards them.

All the weapons in their hands were shaking desperately in the air. Some of the falling arrows were shot down, and some fell on the fluttering cloak and their strength was greatly reduced. Basically, they did not cause any damage. The arrow hit a vital point and knocked him off his horse.

There were several arrows inlaid on Zhang Ren's body, but they barely penetrated the armor and did not cause too much damage.

Looking at the bright gun forest in front of him, he pulled out the hand cannon and fire tube from his waist.

With a flick of the thumb, the cap of the fire tube flew away, and when the wind blew, the flames flashed out immediately, igniting the fuse of the hand cannon, Zhang Ren yelled, and raised his arm and threw the hand cannon towards the gun Forest.

His war horse drew a beautiful arc along the distance of ten steps in front of the gun forest.

His timing was extremely clever, the hand cannon exploded in the air, which greatly expanded the lethality of the hand cannon.

The explosion of hundreds of hand cannons destroyed a tight infantry phalanx in an instant.

Dead to die, wounded to wounded,
The sound of screams went straight to Jiuxiao.

Zhang Ren, who had destroyed the infantry phalanx, did not continue to move forward. After turning around in an arc, the Song Army used him as the charging arrow again, and rushed towards Zhao Jun's cavalry.

Zhao Jun's cavalry had just turned around at this moment and witnessed how Song Jun easily destroyed the infantry phalanx that they thought was as hard as a rock.

This is a heavy infantry phalanx that even the cavalry of the Liao army can contend with, but under the attack of the Song army, it didn't even last a breath.

In an instant, the heart of fear appeared.

Seeing the second wave of attack by the Song army, the cavalry once again rode their horses to avoid a head-on collision with the enemy. They got out of the way because there was another infantry behind them. Phalanx too!

Zhang Ren rushed up to meet the infantry phalanx.

Then, in his vision, the originally tight infantry phalanx suddenly collapsed.

The soldiers of the Zhao army who made up this phalanx, after witnessing the destruction of the opposite phalanx, did not have the courage to stand in front of the Song army again.

Zhang Ren laughed and picked up his horse and rushed past.

The encirclement circle of ten to one deployed by Zhou Shuguang was broken by Zhang Ren's light poke.

Zhou Shuguang, with a livid face, beheaded the battalion general of the infantry phalanx that had collapsed without a fight, and all the officers above the line were beheaded, and when the bloody heads were hung on the flagpole, these were not bloodshed not long ago. Only then did the bandits, horse bandits, and powerful private soldiers realize what an army is.

One step forward is likely to be death.

But retreating without a fight is definitely death.

Zhou Shuguang alone did not scare them.

But Yelu Chengcai, a Liao native standing behind Zhou Shuguang, is a real king of Hades.

The regrouped army set off in pursuit.

At this time, the role of infantry is no longer significant, and cavalry has become the main force in pursuit.

In the previous battle, hundreds of cavalry were killed by Zhang Ren in one breath. Now, because of the addition of Zhou Shuguang's troops, the number has not decreased but has increased.

Zhou Shuqiang personally led the team to chase down.

They were sure that Zhang Ren could not escape.

Because Zhang Ren still has to protect those criminals who escaped with two hips!

If these criminals are left alone, what is the significance of their attack this time?

Don't look at Zhang Ren who just killed the Quartet and defeated Zhou Shuguang's hundreds of cavalry and thousands of infantry in one breath, but he himself left more than 100 cavalry on the battlefield.

A battle loss of ten to one sounds appalling.

But now Zhou Shuguang still has more than 900 people, while Zhang Ren has less than [-] people.

As long as Zhang Ren wants to cover the escape of those criminals, he will definitely be caught in the net.

It's just that Zhang Ren didn't think so.

Because he is not only more than [-] people now.

Ren Zhong is here.

When Zhou Shuguang estimated Zhang Ren's troops, he made a mistake.

That is, he thought that Zhang Ren only had two battalions of cavalry, so the ones who could attack this time were more than a thousand cavalry from these two battalions.

But in fact, Zhang Ren has tens of thousands of large livestock such as mules and horses, and all the infantry can easily move around. Although those people cannot fight on horseback, they can still travel on horseback.

It doesn't matter whether it is a horse or a mule, as long as they can carry the soldiers and run fast.

So when Zhou Shuqiang took his 500 cavalry to chase desperately, when the sun was about to set on the top of the mountain, he overtook not only Zhang Ren's [-] remnant soldiers, but also the entire three battalions led by Ren Zhong with [-] soldiers. Human infantry.

The most terrible thing is that these infantry have arrived here in advance and set up a shooting position.

When the oak wood cannon roared,
When the god-armed bow covers the sky and the sun and shoots down,
When he wanted to escape, but was blocked by the cavalry led by Zhang Ren,
No matter how hard Zhou Shuqiang tried to squeeze everyone into a ball to fight the enemy to the death, those horse thieves still ran away immediately.

As long as one person slips away, more people will inevitably follow suit.

This turned a trap that Zhou Shuguang had worked so hard to set up for a long time into a complete joke.
