Chapter 216: Battle 3
Chapter 216 Battle 3
"There is a herd of horses ahead, okay, hurry up and grab the horses, and cover with both wings of bows and arrows." Even if it was a crooked fight, the war horse of the Liangshan army was placed on the west side of the main camp, Wang Xiu was very happy, and his eyes were green. This can make a fortune, why can't the Great Song Dynasty help the Khitan, isn't it just a lack of horses Jingdong's four generals are sharp, but there are less than a thousand war horses, and the horse army is quite embarrassing, they are all the war horses of Heshuo's stupid people, and the scarce war horse resources were seized by a group of bandits.
The great benefits are in front of you, if you don't see it, you will be too sorry for yourself, and you will be thundered by the sky. Since ancient times, wealth and wealth have been sought in danger, and there is no risk where the sweetness comes from, and he will never give up any opportunity, any opportunity to expand his troops, even if he pays a heavy price, he will not hesitate to do so.
These Song cavalry immediately formed a two-wing defense line and used dense arrows to intercept the pursuit of the Liangshan army. The striking power of the strong bow and crossbow is terrifying on a moonlit night, you can't see the arrows at all, and there is no way to talk about defense.
I have to say that Wang Xiu is lucky, many people didn't have time to pick up horses, they are all in captivity in the camp, although there are only more than 200 war horses seized, but they are also horses Ah couldn't help laughing and said: "Make a fortune, give me all the snatches, be fast." â
Now that you have what you want to get, why are you still stupid, can't you wait for someone to come up and beat you?
Feng Yuan looked at Wang Xiu with a smug face, and couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, Mr. is too snobbish, he treats fighting as a business to do business, isn't it more than 200 war horses, not to mention, the war horses of the Heshuo army are not excellent horse breeds, and they are several levels worse than Liangzhou horses.
Perhaps, today is Wang Xiu's real luck, Lei Heng is the chief general who commands this army, and his accidental death makes it difficult for this army to organize a strong counterattack in a short time, let alone organize a horse team.
The Liangshan army is constantly engaged in the battle with a small force, and they can't help it, if you don't move forward tenaciously in the melee in the dark night, it will be a dead end, who knows if the other party will kill back and forth, and there will be no way for you to live.
In order to survive, they had to launch hysterical attacks, small strands after small strands, like moths throwing fire, and it was precisely this hysterical madness that put the Song army under great pressure and could only desperately fire arrows.
However, the number of arrows carried by Wang Xiu's department is limited after all, less than half a pillar of incense, there are few arrows left, and they gradually can't hold on, and some people have to instigate the war horses to swim away, so as not to be surrounded by small troops, and the cavalry is surrounded alone, which is definitely a dead end, and there is no second possibility.
"Okay, the whole army retreats, pay attention to cover each other." Seeing that it was almost over, Wang Xiu immediately ordered the teams to cover the retreat, and he also prepared another big meal for the Liangshan army, which was nothing more than an appetizer tonight, so that he could get a small windfall.
"Sir, there are a few people surrounded." Feng Yuan's eyes were sharp, and he saw that several cavalry behind the palace were surrounded and were insisting on a hard fight, and the bandits of the Liangshan Army were trying to divide several cavalry and strangle them one by one.
"Hurry to the rescue."
Wang Xiu glanced at Qiu Yun, looked at the Liang Shanjun who were swarming up, and said resolutely: "Come with me, and never abandon any robe." After that, he rode his horse and rushed forward with a knife, but there was no way, he lost his horse lance, and he could only use the straight knife in his hand.
"Never abandon." Feng Yuan's eyes lit up, and he glared at Jing Bo and said sharply: "Fifth brother, go and control the retreat of the soldiers and horses, and I and the ninth brother will go to protect Mr., quickly." â
"Can't do without me." Qiu Yun laughed loudly and rode his horse to chase Wang Xiu first.
"I was preempted by Lao Jiu again." Jing Bo spat unwillingly, but he couldn't help but listen to Feng Yuan's words, so he had to ride his horse away.
Qiu Fu's pure teachings He still remembered that the task on the battlefield was clear, and he must not be brave, since Feng Yuan and Qiu Yun had passed, the horse team needed to be controlled, he had to stay behind to supervise the evacuation of each team, and the brave general was not a reckless man, and he also needed to have brains.
The sudden counterattack of Wang Xiu and the three of them caught the group of Liangshan troops unexpectedly, and they were beaten into chaos for a while, and a few people who didn't know what to do died before they retreated.
Feng Yuan and Qiu Yunru are two killing gods, a big gun and a long knife, as long as they dare to fight, they will be killed in less than a round, and no one dares to approach. Well, those who didn't have long eyes to approach turned into corpses.
When the three of them rushed up and dispersed the crowd, they did not make much effort to join the besieged cavalry. Fortunately, no one was killed in the besieged native soldiers, and only one was slightly injured.
It's okay this time, no one who doesn't open their eyes dares to come forward to intercept, and the Shunshun lĂŹ who broke through is just like the usual outing.
In the eyes of that group of Liang Shanjun, everyone is out of their own doors, and interception can only make others work harder, and it is really worth the loss to throw away their own lives, no one will be stupid at the end of the battle to touch the bad luck, I didn't see the wolf-like posture of the three people.
Coming and going like the wind, a robbery ended like this, leaving behind a shocking wreckage.
A man with five big and three rough men got on the horse in a daze, watched the Song army go away, and said angrily: "Quick, give me all the horses, rectify the soldiers and horses for me to chase, Lao Tzu is going to slaughter Li Guojian." â
If Wang Xiu fought with this person, he would definitely be surprised if he reported his name again, it turned out to be Shi Jin, known as the Nine Pattern Dragon, a coquettish guy.
In the early morning, Wang Xiu led the army back to the hidden place, sent out the patrol again, and the soldiers participating in the battle rested on the spot, replenished arrows one after another, and replaced the damaged equipment. After they counted the number of people, they killed nine people, seriously wounded two, and slightly wounded thirty-two.
Wang Xiu was very satisfied, it was impossible to live without death, and the local soldiers of the Xiang army of Li Guojian only killed nine people in the first battle, far beyond his expectations. However, every soldier killed made him worry.
With more than 100 excellent war horses and mule horses, Wang Xiu's joy was incomparable, he really never thought that a single attack would have such a reward.
Qiu Fu was overjoyed, and said with a smile: "The harvest is good, what we lack the most is a war horse." â
Wang Xiu nodded, and said with a straight face: "Take a break, and let the officials who have not yet fought attract the Liangshan army, and let's fight a beautiful war of annihilation." â
Qiu Fu touched his beard and said with a smile: "Yes, this battle must hit these Liangshan troops hard and make them completely dead." â
Wang Xiu smacked his lips and turned his head to look in the northeast direction, with a very stern expression.
But said that Shi Jin sent a fire, and the rectification of the troops and horses went south, and he still had three or four hundred cavalry, more than 1,000 foot soldiers, and he was also strong in terms of strength, but it was a pity that his horse team lost more than half, and if he was smarter, he would quickly withdraw from Xuzhou. But he was so angry that he had no choice but to give Wang Xiu color and avenge Lei Heng with his own hands, and he couldn't even listen to Suo Chao's words, just desperately urging the troops to advance.
"Leader, I found the Zhao family in front of you."
Suo Chao's face was cautious, and he said in a deep voice: "We can't go any further, the other party is fully prepared, we should withdraw from Xuzhou, and it is the best policy to return to my brother." â
Shi Jin's eyes were red, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Wang Xiu killed my brother, I will definitely cut him with a thousand knives in order to eliminate the hatred in my heart." â
Suo Chao was very dissatisfied with Shi Jin's tyranny, but he and Lei Heng, who died tragically, were not the main generals, and their orders and prohibitions had to be arranged by Shi Jin, and they could not lead the army forward.
Maybe it was Shi Jin's arrogance, or maybe it was his own force, Ma Bujun divided into two steps and swung two ways and came in a long snake formation.
The Song soldiers, who had long been hidden in the low-lying area of the ditch, quietly waited for the prey to take the bait, and Qiu Fu saw a long snake formation, and his eyes were as hot as wolves. Obviously, the Liangshan army was defenseless, and if the sneak attack was successful, it would cause great damage.
"Order, each team prepares, look at my order." Qiu Fu's cheeks trembled excitedly, and he couldn't wait to pounce on it and bite it hard.
Wang Xiu was very calm, still closed his eyes and recuperated, and his demeanor was as calm as water.
More than 100 cavalry passed through the ambush site and went in the direction of Liguo, and then the Liangshan army was very arrogant, and more than 300 horsemen roared, but the foot was left far behind, forming a long snake formation in the front and back, which made people very entangled.
"Teach the head, fight their horse army, not a single one will be left." Wang Xiu said it lightly, and there was no emotion in his tone.
When the Liangshan army horse team entered the range of the Song army's infantry bow and arrow, the infantry who occupied their respective positions got up one after another, and they shot with bows and crossbows in a fan as a team, and several teams shot in different directions, without dead ends at all, so that the cavalry of the Liangshan army who entered the encirclement fell into a desperate situation.
Listening to the earth-shattering shouts and seeing the dense sound of arrows breaking through the air, he was suddenly excited, and couldn't help but look at Wang Xiu.
The battle reports kept coming, but his expression was still calm, and he didn't convey the military order for a long time, which made Feng Yuan, who was hiding and waiting in the distance, anxious, but they didn't dare to ask.
Qiu Fu attaches great importance to bow and arrow archery, especially the tactical cooperation between the squads, which is a lesson summed up with blood in the war, the Song army's foot soldiers took advantage of the terrain, a burst of bow and arrow shooting, sure enough, all of them were good, more than 100 people were shot off their horses. The rest of the crowd was thrown into disarray under the pressure of bows and arrows, and more and more people were shot down.
From the moment the arrow was released to the moment the enemy reacted, only three rounds of shooting were fired, and half of Shi Jin's more than 300 horsemen were lost, Suo Chao was shocked and angry: "Steady, steady, rush forward with me." Shi Jin was dumbfounded, he never expected the Song army to set up an encirclement, let alone that he would crash in, from Liangshanbo to dozens of counties, he was not so aggrieved, he couldn't help but be ferocious, and the guy yelled: "Give them all and kill them all." More than a thousand steps rushed forward with a roar, speeding up from four hundred steps away, once they joined the battlefield, the outcome was not unpredictable, Wang Xiu's face was cautious
