Chapter 066: Warrior
The light of dawn lifted the light veil of night, and everything in the sky and earth slowly became clear and clear, and rivers, mountains, and trees were imprinted in the eyes one by one.
The army traveled, the front army went first, and countless spies had already rushed out. The scouts investigated all the way, and soon passed Qingyuan, less than a hundred miles away from Taiyuan. Along the way, there are golden rangers everywhere, and they will encounter them from time to time and experience some encounters.
The Jin people are skilled in bows and horses, and the scouts of the loyal and righteous army are all heroic warriors with high martial arts, and the two sides have fought bloody battles one after another, each with casualties and countless casualties, which also shows that the combat power of the Jin scouts should not be underestimated.
In a col in front of the mountain, Shao Xing and others hit horses and entered, and everyone looked north, a horse and a flat river, topography, rivers and ravines, villages and towns, at a glance.
The morning sun is rising, the birds are singing crisply among the trees, breathing in the fresh air, and everyone can't help but feel refreshed.
Everyone was moving forward, and Du Fang, who was in the lead, was full of panic, waving and shouting while beating his horse and galloping.
"Hurry up, the Jurchen cavalry has arrived!"
Everyone was taken aback, Shao Xing looked into the distance, a thunderous sound came, and then he saw smoke and dust billowing in front of him, and the iron horses of countless golden people were vaguely visible, coming from the dragon from south to north.
The Jurchen cavalry had apparently spotted the Song scouts in front, and they scattered in all directions, with iron hooves and smoke billowing out, and surrounded them by horses from several directions.
Everyone was taken aback, and turned their horses' heads one after another, Shao Ping's face was ugly, and he shouted loudly: "Big brother, there are at least two or three thousand Jurchen cavalry, from north to south, it should be going to Pantuo!"
Shao Xing looked at the low mountain in the distance, and made a decision in an instant, he shouted loudly: "Erlang, hurry back and report the news, I will take the brothers up the mountain and lead the fans over!"
Before Shao Ping could speak, Shao Xing said angrily: "The military situation is like fire, do you want to disobey the military order!"
Shao Ping beat his horse and galloped away, Shao Xing whipped his mount a few times, and said loudly: "Go up the mountain!"
Most of the Jurchen rangers are one person with two horses, or even one person with three horses, and Shao Xing is a single horseman.
On the wilderness, the smoke and dust were billowing, the horses' hooves were flying, Shao Xing and others were in front, and the Jurchen rangers were riding behind, and they rushed towards the mountain in front of the temple together.
"Shao Dutou, what do you say, you can't let the Jurchens pass through the mountain in front of the temple happily!"
The swarthy and thin He Zhongwang shouted loudly while beating his horse and galloping.
His whole family died at the hands of the Jin people, and he dreamed of playing with the Jin people, and today he finally had a chance, so he naturally refused to admit it.
"Shao Dutou, let's climb the mountain from the east and block these fans for a while, so that Shao Ping has a chance to escape!"
Xu San's face was flushed, and his eyes were hideous.
The Jurchens have always been cruel and ferocious, inferior to beasts, and his parents, including half of the villagers, died at the hands of the Jurchens, so naturally they would not let go of their opponents easily.
Everyone beat their horses and galloped wildly, and when they reached the east foot of the mountain in front of the temple, seeing that the horses were useless, everyone abandoned their horses one after another and quickly climbed to the mountain.
"Where are Xu Feng, Li Dahai, and Bao Enshan? Why didn't you keep up?"
Shao Xing, who climbed halfway up the mountain, casually glanced left and right, and found that there were more than a dozen fewer scouts, and he couldn't help but feel anxious. The scouts of the former army are all the best of the best, and he can't afford to waste anything.
Before Shao Xing's words fell, an explosion suddenly sounded at the bottom of the mountain, and the Jurchen cavalrymen who came from the dust turned on their backs and fell down.
"Fanzi chased too fast, Xu Feng was worried that we would be caught up, so he stayed!"
Shao Xing's eyes couldn't help but be hot, and he almost burst into tears.
Xu San's face was painful, and he choked up: "Good brother!"
"Hurry up and find a good place and prepare for a bloody battle with Fanzi!"
Shao Xing controlled his emotions, hid behind a mountain, felt out the earth-shattering thunder and other objects on his waist, put them on the ground in front of him, and then took out his big bow and wound the arrow.
Xu Feng, Li Dahai and others all have a common enmity with the Jurchens, but unfortunately these heroes who have survived the catastrophe are afraid that they will be confessed here today.
The explosion of the earth-shattering thunder became weaker and weaker, followed by the whistling of feather arrows, and then a brutal hand-to-hand combat began, and soon, calm returned to the bottom of the mountain.
The scouts of the Loyal and Righteous Army on the hillside all had tears in their eyes. The dozen or so brothers who died bought them time, and they were able to climb and stealth so that they would not be surrounded by the Jurchen cavalry at the foot of the mountain and annihilated in one fell swoop.
With a loud bang, the Jin soldiers were blown over, and then Xu Feng jumped out of a hidden place and slashed the Jurchen knight in front of him to the ground.
Several riding spears pierced, Xu Feng was stabbed to the ground, and his body was also picked up and thrown on the ground on the side, splashing dust on the ground.
"Drive!"
Several war horses galloped up and stepped on Xu Feng's corpse a few times, and the corpse soon became unrecognizable and became a pile of meat paste.
"Dog's thief!"
Shao Xing couldn't hold back any longer, lowered his head, and two lines of tears burst out of his eyes.
When they arrived at the mountain, the golden soldiers dismounted one after another and began to climb up the mountain.
"Brothers, hold on!"
The climbing Jin soldiers are getting closer and closer, and the cavalry formation of the Jin soldiers has also reached the foot of the mountain, and it seems that they are about to continue to go south along the foot of the east mountain.
Shao Xing tightened the bowstring, and with a "whoosh", a feather arrow shot out, but it was shot at the Jurchen cavalry on the mountain road.
In the front row of the cavalry array, an armored golden soldier was hit by an arrow in the throat, fell from his horse, and fell heavily to the ground, stirring up a puff of dust.
There was a commotion in the cavalry array, and the Jurchen cavalry reined in their horses, and before they could react, dozens of feathered arrows came whistling, and more than a dozen Jurchen knights fell under their horses.
"Shield!"
The Jurchen generals shouted, and the knights on the horses raised their round shields one after another to protect their heads.
The chief general of the Jin Soldiers was also born in the army, and he had been fighting for many years, and he instantly judged the number of people who attacked him. As soon as he gave the order, hundreds of knights dismounted, swords in hand, and climbed up the mountain.
The Jurchen cavalry formation continued to move forward along the mountain road.
"Move bigger!"
Seeing that the situation was critical, Shao Xing gave an order, and the earth-shaking thunder in everyone's hands was thrown towards the hillside and the mountain road together.
The explosions came and went, and the golden soldiers who were climbing and the knights on the horses suffered heavy casualties, and the cavalry array suddenly became chaotic.
Shao Xing led the scouts, taking advantage of the terrain, the earth-shaking thunder and the bow and crossbow were used to attack the mountain, and the golden feather arrows galloped and continued to shoot upward. Arrows flew on the hillside, smoke billowed everywhere, and people kept screaming and falling.
"Destroy these Song dogs!"
Seeing the loss of the lives of dozens of Jurchen warriors, the Jin lord was furious, ordered the Jin soldiers to evacuate, dismounted one after another, and attacked the mountain.
Smoke and dust billowed on the hillside, and the explosion of earth-shattering thunder and the sound of feather arrows breaking through the air came and went. As the sound of explosions became more and more rare, countless Jin soldiers slowly climbed up the hillside and fought hand-to-hand with Shao Xing and others.
There were only 50 scouts around Shao Xing, and under the attack of Jin Renyu's arrows just now, more than ten people had been killed and wounded.
A large number of golden people poured up the hillside, and the two sides began to fight hand-to-hand.
The Jin lord Sha Guzhi shouted at the bottom of the hillside, not knowing what he was talking about, but judging from the anger on his face, it was obvious that he ordered his subordinates to annihilate all the Song troops on the hillside.
It was also impossible to see that Sha Gu was not angry, and from a rough look, his subordinates also suffered as many as 100 casualties. These are the best warriors in the Dajin Kingdom, but they didn't expect to die in the hands of dozens of Song troops on this hillside.
Seeing the tragic situation of more than a dozen wounded soldiers with blurred flesh and blood, ghosts and wolves howling, Sha Gu was furious, he punched and kicked, and loudly urged his warriors to attack quickly and deal with these Song people as soon as possible.
Although the Jurchen cavalry was timid in close-quarters white-knuckle combat, their character was extremely stoic. The sounds of fighting and shouting on the hillside came and went, and Song soldiers and Jin soldiers continued to fall screaming, and Shao Xing's team quickly decreased.
Shao Xing was scarred, and he and several of his highly skilled subordinates pressed their backs tightly together, helping each other and fighting with the surrounding Jin people.
Several of them were covered in blood and exhausted. Shao Xing flipped the Jurchen warrior in front of him, and his arm was so weak that he couldn't lift it. A golden soldier came up and smashed it down, the knife in Shao Xing's hand flew out, and the person also fell heavily to the ground.
Jin Ren smashed down with a stick, wanting to end Shao Xing's life, He Zhongwang flew over from the side and knocked over Jin Ren. The two of them sat on the ground, He Zhongwang hugged Jin Ren tightly, rolled straight down the hillside, and fell into the bottom of the ditch twenty or thirty meters deep.
"Straight mothers and thieves, come up, Lao Tzu has already killed enough!"
Xu San was furious, and with a backhand knife, a huge golden man's head flew up, blood sprinkled on the hillside, stained the grass red, and his head rolled down the slope "gurgling", I don't know where it fell.
Sha Guzhi looked at the bloody battle on the hillside and was dumbfounded. The Song soldiers were highly skilled and well-trained, and they fought with their warriors, but they did not fall behind at all.
A Song soldier forced two Jin soldiers with a spear, and another Jin soldier took the opportunity to slash him in the back from behind. Song Bing screamed, turned around, and the spear directly stabbed the golden soldier's throat. The two Jin soldiers behind stabbed out their spears and stabbed into the back of the Song soldiers, and as soon as the two spears were picked, the Song soldiers were thrown down the hillside, and the screams followed.
A golden soldier wielded a giant axe and slashed at the head of an exhausted Song soldier, but the Song soldier did not dodge, and stabbed his spear sharply with all his strength. Song Bing's spear pierced Jin Bing's throat, and he was also hit on the shoulder, the sound of bones shattering came, Song Bing's half arm was cut off, and several Jin soldiers came up and stabbed down with spears in their hands.
A Song soldier who was hit by an arrow was dying, struggling to ignite the earth-shattering thunder, and the two golden soldiers who rushed up couldn't dodge it and were blown away. Song Bing's chest was blurred with flesh and blood, and his internal organs were all flowing out.
The Jin people are numerous and have the upper hand. The Song soldiers had a tenacious fighting spirit and strong combat power, and they were warriors that the Jurchen army had never encountered since they had gone south.
Sha Guzhi's back was cold, if the Song army was such a warrior, how could the Jurchen army take advantage of it when it went south?
As the Song soldiers on the hillside fell one by one, there were very few Song soldiers left. The two wounded Song soldiers were back to back, surrounded by a group of golden soldiers. These two Song soldiers are quite strong, their martial arts are strong, and their long knives are very strong, and it is difficult for the Jin soldiers to attack them.
Shao Xing stood up and let out a long breath.
After making such a big commotion and fighting for so long, Shao Ping should have escaped.
