Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 323 The Defense of Tokyo 11
"Xiao Chong, you are good at archery! No wonder Mr. Jiang is admiring you." Zhang Zhong, who is tall and tall and has a beard on his face, shouted excitedly.

You are a bug, and your whole family is a bug!Cheng Jiao rolled his eyes, didn't look at Zhang Zhong, his eyes were fixed on the front, he didn't know how many times he complained about this complaint, but he couldn't beat Zhang Zhong, so he could only refute in his stomach.

While speaking, he shot an arrow with a strong bow full of two stones, but saw a golden cavalryman in heavy armor shot through the face sixty steps away, and immediately fell down with his face up, and his body was still hanging on the ground. immediately.

"Not bad, not bad, the kung fu of piercing Yang with a hundred steps is well practiced, it depends on me." Zhang Zhong laughed loudly, spotted a cavalryman, and shot an arrow at it.

Nocking the arrow, drawing the bow, setting the position, and releasing the arrows all in one go, the meteor-like arrow pierced through the gunpowder smoke above the battlefield, and in the midst of the intertwined arrows of fighting locusts, it accurately hit the cavalryman, and the arrow pierced the brain through the left eye. But, not even a chance to snort.

"You are also very good." Cheng Jiao curled his lips and said, with an expression of dissatisfaction.

Some cavalry of the Golden Army simply dismounted and drove some Ali Xi to fight.Alixi, who accompanied the army, was in charge of logistical support, and the main soldiers died in battle to temporarily step up. Driven by the main soldiers, they did not have any right to choose. Their lives did not belong to them, so they had to bite the bullet and go into battle.Of course, not everyone can drive them, each Mengan and even Moke are different, only their Bojin can order them.

When the dismounted soldiers came up, the truly tragic hand-to-hand combat kicked off, with screams, stumps, broken arms, blood, and human heads. Shocking and disgusting scenes filled the dividing line between the two wings of the entire battlefield.

The positions where Cheng Jiao and Zhang Zhong were located were also in the midst of wind and rain. They were not afraid of heavy cavalry, but just worried about Bubazi.There were not many Alixi in the Jin army, and there were not many cavalry who dismounted to fight, but it was enough to prevent the officials of the Song army from firing arrows.

Hundreds of Ali Xi harassed the entire east wing's security line. Many spearmen and sword soldiers were caught in a bitter fight, and crossbowmen had to fight with their knives.

The archers and crossbowmen of the Song Army are not professional in themselves. They are all equipped with protective curved knives and wear light iron armor or leather armor weighing more than ten kilograms. It is sure, but it is too difficult to face the cavalry in close combat.

Coincidentally and unluckily, what Cheng Jiao and Zhang Zhong met was the dismounted combat cavalry and Alixi who followed the army, it really killed people!They had to draw their swords and fight.Fortunately, both of them are tall, especially Zhang Zhong is more powerful, and the cooperation between the two of them is not considered weak.

"Xiao Chong, protect me from behind." Zhang Zhong held a curved knife and glared at the two Arixi who rushed up. He directly handed his back to Pao Ze.

But he shouted loudly, raised the knife in his hand, and forcibly chopped down two Alixi who were wearing leather armor. Just when the homicide was on the rise, a cavalry boy wearing a heavy armor and an iron pocket with horns on his head , Swinging a mace and rushing towards him.

The battle is still going on, and the key to victory or defeat is not the army, but Wang Xiu's troops. His troops are not as effective as the Jin army, but their tenacious spirit has long been cultivated. They gritted their teeth and resisted the onslaught of the Jin army. Just for the northern wing cavalry to complete the outflank.

It was not an easy task for Wang Xiu to kill a Jin army Mo Kebojin with a horse spear. He was already exhausted and his endurance was at its limit.There is very little distinction between superiority and inferiority on the battlefield, especially in melee, where even the guards can hardly protect the coach, and everything can only be fought by oneself to fight for a chance of survival.

A general of the golden army in black armor came galloping, and he came straight for him, because he was at the position where the command flag was. The general of the golden army who had experienced hundreds of battles naturally understood the principle of capturing the king first.

He is not a coward either, everyone is coming to him, and he can only weaken his momentum if he refuses to fight, which will discourage the officials around him. The consequences of frustration are unbearable.

Gao Sheng's face was stern, and the tip of the spear was pointing forward. The general of the Song army who was coming towards him was already a man who must be killed in his eyes.

The two horses staggered, Wang Xiu brandished the horse lance and slashed down directly, Gao Sheng used a big gun to pick up the horse lance, and wanted to push the horse lance away for the assassination. But the heart hit like a heavy hammer.

Why is the enemy in front of him so kind-hearted!A figure appeared in each other's hearts.

The heavy cavalry dismounted, as long as they kept their whole body in balance, their fighting power was quite powerful. Their whole bodies were covered in iron armor like an iron man, and it was difficult for ordinary swords to penetrate the iron armor.

The simple self-defense equipment used by the crossbowmen of the Song Army had almost no possibility of winning. They either ran away quickly or died tragically under the mace.

But seeing that mace smashed down with strong wind, Zhang Zhong raised his knife to meet it, but when he heard the sound of "bump", his tiger's mouth became numb from the shock, and he retreated three steps in a row, and Cheng Jiao who hit him followed suit. After taking three or four steps back, he saw that the blade of the fine steel curved knife in his hand had been cut with a gap, and he couldn't help shouting: "What a lot of strength."

This sentence is pure nonsense. If it weren't for his incomparable strength and burly body, he wouldn't be wearing an iron armor weighing more than fifty kilograms and holding a heavy mace.

There are not many Jurchens, and it can even be said that the population is sparse. The Jurchen warriors in their entire army are only about [-] people. From the sea of ​​blood, whether it is strength or fighting, it is quite outstanding.

Otherwise, why would they use the weak to defeat the strong? They often used thousands to fight tens of thousands, and tens of thousands to fight hundreds of thousands, forcibly annihilating the Khitan with an army of one million.It is thought that Zhong Shidao and Yao Gu's 2 troops rescued Taiyuan, but Lou Shi only had [-] people; the second rescue of Taiyuan, Li Gang controlled more than [-] people, and the Jin army only had [-].The victory of the war produces an excellent commander, and high-quality soldiers are also the key to victory.

However, the Jurchen cavalry laughed grinningly, swung their maces and smashed towards them again, and behind them were two Alixi who took advantage of the fire and forced them forward, one left and one right.

Zhang Zhong was not a coward either, he was aroused with pride in his chest, he roared and swung his knife to fight.

Cheng Jiao saw that Zhang Zhong was fighting with the three of them alone, and he would be cut down to the ground in a few blows. He could not retreat anymore, so he also roared and charged forward with his knife.

The five fought in a melee, Cheng Jiao and Zhang Zhong tried their best to avoid confrontation with the Jurchen cavalry, but the cavalry armor was heavy and they could not move flexibly, and they were wearing light archer armor, which made them easy to dodge.

In just a few rounds, Cheng Jiao knocked down the two Alixis. There was no way, these Alixis were usually in charge of logistics, so they were no match for Zhengbing.

When the two Alixis were killed, the Jurchen cavalry appeared to be alone and alone. The other Alixis and the cavalry each had their own busy work, and they all fell into a melee. They had no time to care about the lives of others.

"Xiao Chong, shoot him to death with a bow and arrow." Zhang Zhong roared angrily, almost supporting himself alone.They fought against a cavalry, it should be said that they had all the advantages, but his weapons were heavy and his armor was excellent, and he couldn't cut through the opponent's armor with a few knives, so he decided to resist the mace alone.

Cheng Jiao had long thought of shooting with a bow and arrow. Now that Zhang Zhong said he would not hesitate, he immediately took three steps back, took down the black lacquer bow at a very fast speed, quickly pulled out the arrow, and stretched the bow. Arrowing, jumping forward, aiming at the face of the Jurchen cavalry is an arrow, the whole movement is done in one go, like flowing clouds and flowing water.

Zhang Zhong gritted his teeth and fought to the death, the knife in his hand was already broken, seeing the opponent swinging the heavy mace again, all thoughts were lost.Damn bad luck!He even went head-to-head with the dismounted heavy cavalry. It would be good if he had an iron ax in his hand, or at least a horse-cutting knife to win, and he would never be an archer in his next life!
When he was almost desperate, his eyes flashed, and the Jurchen cavalry fell to the ground like an iron tower.

"Little worm is good at archery!"

The arrow was unbiased, and it just pierced through the opponent's right eye. With such a short distance, and the furious shot of the two strong bows, the arrow had already reached the back of the skull, and there was no chance for a human to snort. .

"Brother, let's go, let's meet up with everyone." Cheng Jiao shot and killed the Jurchen cavalry, seeing a few Alixis coming over, he didn't want to fight alone, that's not heroism, but a fool.Of course, he couldn't care less about greeting Zhang Zhong's family.

As the entire military formation continued to change, the Jin army continued to exert pressure, and the external security forces also began to retreat, and they joined the circular formation to protect themselves.In close combat, the archers are at a disadvantage. They cannot hold the enemy. Temporary retreat does not mean failure. A circular formation is the nightmare of the Golden Army. Archers can exert their maximum combat effectiveness only under the protection of big cards and long spears.

After Cheng Jiao was in charge, he kept shooting Alixi who was approaching with his bow and arrows. He was so skilled in archery that he didn't even need to aim. He killed one person with one arrow, at least five or six people.

Arixi, who followed, was very afraid of his shooting skills, and he didn't dare to approach him too much. He just used side cards to protect himself and followed up leisurely.

The security forces withdrew into each circle respectively, and the number of their deaths was not many. After all, everyone had bows and crossbows, and those Alixi were not fools. The crossbow stared at it, and it must be dead.

But he said that Wang Xiu was passing by on the wrong horse, and a name flashed in his mind: Brother Gao Wu.He turned the horse's head, rode the horse and charged and slashed again, the strength in his hands was not weak at all, he was still aiming for a one-hit kill, but he shouted: "But Brother Gao Wu?"

Gao Sheng's eyes lit up, maybe his eyes flickered, but like Wang Xiu, he didn't give in at all, he stabbed Wang Xiu's lower abdomen with a gun, and also shouted: "Wang Dalang?"

While talking, the two swords met, and they both knew that the other party didn't hold back anything, because this was not a restaurant, but a battlefield where life and death were fought. When passing by, the two looked deeply at each other.
