Chapter 1304: The Scarlet Sun's Slasher

Recommended Reading: "Let the Divine Guard come to reinforce them, don't give me a nest in the camp, give me a flag quickly, the officials below must resist, and they can't retreat even if they die."

Feng Yuan saw that the Jin army was swarming up, and knew that it would not work hard if he didn't work hard, the heavy village could not be moved, and the chariot army formation also had to resist the pressure of the Jin army, so he could only hope for the reinforcements of Zhongzhai and the reinforcements of Longwei Shenwei, but to relieve the pressure.

Sure enough, more than 700 officials and soldiers quickly dispatched from the garrison village between Zhongzhai and Xizhai, they formed a small phalanx, shouted in unison, and launched an attack on the flank of the Jin army with the command of drums and flags.

This is the remnants of the retreating Shenwei and Dragon Guards, who were rescued by Feng Yuan's light soldiers in desperate circumstances, naturally not to let them sit and wait for the end of the war, but to increase their defensive strength. Since the Jin army took the risk of assaulting the inner defense of the Song army, these soldiers had to fight, which was their value.

Although some people were frightened, they still moved forward, and many more people breathed a sigh of shame, and it was a shame to kill a few more captives, and it was an absolute shame to be captured.

Li Cheng immediately sent his own personal soldiers, plus hundreds of cavalry to counterattack, to contain the impact of the Song army and protect the safety of the flanks of the attacking troops.

Under the threat of the swords and axes of the generals of various departments, the infantry of the Jin army advanced tremblingly, but they were hit by the first round of medicine arrows of the Song army.

The lethal effect of the medicine arrow is considerable, this is also Feng Yuan's order to take the reserve medicine arrow, since it is the Jin Army's desperate bet, he will not be stingy with the medicine arrow, save a bird, you have been taken down by others, the saved medicine arrow will also become a trophy, become a sharp weapon to fight your own people, only by persevering, can you get more reinforcements from the inner line soldiers.

The crossbowmen barely had time to pause, and they repeated the mechanical movements without stopping, firing deadly arrows at the crowd on a different scale than in the morning, and the foot soldiers were all in fear, for fear that they would reach blood mold.

It's a pity that fate can't be decided by them, and the Song army is almost inexhaustible crossbow arrows, making it difficult for them to move forward, and they have to pay a lot of price for moving forward.

Crossbow arrows are very expensive, big arrows are also very expensive, and medicine arrows are even more expensive.

Just look at the quiver around those crossbowmen, each of them has two soft quivers, equipped with a hundred arrows, although the medicine arrows are only a part, it also makes people feel cold.

Li Qiong is receiving the teaching, Li Cheng is also understanding, he watched the spectacular defense scene of the Song army, and sincerely sighed from the bottom of his heart that the Great Song Dynasty is not what it used to be, when he was a general in the Southern Dynasty, where was there such a joy at all, the medicine arrows were used like splashing water, and it seemed that they would never be used up, at that time, only the most elite troops in each department could also be partially equipped with medicine arrows and iron shells.

Gao Ping's defeat was really accidental, if it was carried with perfect war defense equipment, the Song army's military formation was a meat grinder, the two wings of the chariots were spread, the light baggage carts were outside, the crossbowmen were included, and those stone-throwing machines prepared with iron cannonballs, knife and axe hands and sought-after hands were ready to rush and kill at any time, where would the Jin army easily break through.

However, relying on the lives of the foot soldiers, they still broke through the first line of defense and began to climb up the mound. The knife and axe hands behind are extremely ferocious, as long as they dare to stop, they will kill people immediately without saying a word, and their eyes are red when they kill.

Even if the Song army had the advantage of strong crossbows and the reinforcements that were coming, Feng Yuan also felt extremely pressured, and he constantly encouraged the officials to take turns shooting, so that the officials who did not have bows and crossbows could be smashed with stones, not to consider the battle damage, let alone save arrows, and use up all resources, which would definitely cause serious damage to the Jin army.

On the slopes, under the dense number of arrows, those foot soldiers had almost no chance of survival, and the corpses gradually overlapped and piled up, and they were still attacking frantically, this was their humble fate, not even the ants on the ground.

Song Jun is not like this, in the frenzy of crazy fighting between the two sides, the power of individuals is so small, life and death are not controlled by themselves at all, and even the bodies of the dead have no time to be cleaned up.

The Jin army, once again approaching the second wooden fence, the crisis is getting more and more serious.

The wooden fence of the second line of defense has become the dividing line between the two sides, and fierce hand-to-hand combat is launched, the battlefield space is limited, and the troops invested by both sides in the first line cannot be too much, and they are almost evenly matched.

It's just that the Jin army has an advantage in strength, the first row was killed, and then the second row came up, Feng Yuan was prepared, but there were not so many troops to adjust, only the reserve battalion was the main force, uniting more than 500 Longwei Shenwei, plus 700 archers from Chenzhou and Gyeonggi Township, that is, more than 1,000 troops.

What's more, the Dragon Guard Divine Guard troops are still under the mound, and they are being counterattacked by the Jin Army Horse Team, and the strong momentum has stalled.

"Don't mess around, everyone resist me, reinforcements are coming." Feng Yuan was calm and composed, and constantly dispatched officials to intercept the offensive of the Jin army.

A general rushed to him, also covered in blood and dust, and said hurriedly: "Taiwei, if you can't stand it, you should kill it and go to Xizhai." ”

Feng Yuan looked at General Shi coldly, he still didn't know the current situation, all sides were fighting fiercely, and only Zhongzhai had the ability to send troops.

However, the Jin army broke into nearly 10,000 people, which has threatened the safety of the village, and Zhongzhai wants to protect the safety of the village, but it can't divide too many troops, not to mention that the front village of Dongzhai is lost, and Zhongzhai is also under a lot of pressure, and it is impossible to have strong reinforcements in a short time, he can understand Cheng Jiao's hesitation.

In all fairness, General Shi's suggestion was not a big mistake, the battle had progressed to such an extent that it should gradually converge with the reinforcements of the Divine Guard Dragon Guard and withdraw to a safe area.

"Captain, you can't hesitate any longer." Shi Jiang saw that Feng Yuan's face was cloudy, thinking that he was hesitant to calculate the gains and losses.

"Nonsense, let me go down and resist, and then dare to say retreat, military law will do it." Feng Yuan suddenly saw that the officials on the side looked panicked, and immediately realized that the army's heart was shaken, and if he continued to talk about it, he was afraid that it would cause panic, so he immediately scolded him.

Shi Jiang misunderstood, thinking that Feng Yuan was in the way of face, and it was not easy to break through lightly, so he needed to persuade a few more words, and immediately said: "Taiwei is involved in the life and death of the whole army, and he must not be in danger. ”

"Lies confuse the public." Feng Yuan was immediately furious, without saying a word, he drew his knife and immediately slashed, not even superfluous nonsense, let the general with a look of disbelief, his eyes widened and slowly fell into a pool of blood, he raised the bloody straight knife, and shouted loudly: "There is only death, those who dare to retreat, kill."

The officials on the left and right all changed color, but the fear of Fang Cai had long since turned into a cloud of smoke, and was replaced by Xiao Se's determination.
