Volume 1 Painting the Corner, Heaven and Earth Cracking 55 Borrowing the Knife (3)
Qin Maoqi led the army suddenly, and really caught Zhao Dangshi off guard.
This Shizhou army is only two hundred, but the end is extremely fierce, Hou Dagui and Bai Jiaolong with the front and left divisions are hundreds of steps away, the nearest right division, Ma Jun Division Wu Mingfeng, Yang Chengfu has just reacted, and the rear division guarding the formation has been rushed open a big gap.
Among the two hundred, Qin Maoqi has forgotten about life and death. The left and right relatives begged him to be in the back position several times, but he refused, and with a willow leaf gun in his hand, he fought in front of him. His way of fighting by leading the way is extremely rare in the army, because if the commander has an accident, his own command system will immediately become disordered and the army will collapse. But he knew that with only these two hundred people, it was impossible to delay Zhao Ying for a long time, and with the will to die, he thought that instead of hiding behind and waiting for death, it was better to fight to the death while the edge was still there.
The two hundred Shi Nan soldiers under him are also warriors who have served the Shi Nan Qin clan for generations. They were different from the ordinary recruited soldiers, who regarded Qin Maoqi as their master and worked extra hard to sell their lives. Seeing Qin Maoqi rushing in front with his own eyes, he was greatly inspired, and all of them were red-eyed, roaring angrily like bloodthirsty beasts.
Zhao Dangshi claimed to be a person who had seen the world, but the state of the Shi Nan soldiers in front of him still shocked him. I saw that most of these Shi Nan soldiers were only wearing light armor, and they seemed to be wielding the blades in their hands when they were crazy. The arm was injured, and he changed hands to continue fighting; His legs and feet were chopped, and he rolled down with the nearest soldier of Zhao Battalion in front of him. Or reach out to pick the eyeballs, or bite the neck with the lower mouth, it is difficult to describe the usual struggle. Wang Laixing originally pressed the soldiers in the front to stabilize the front, but soon he couldn't support it, and the formation was chaotic, and he was in a scuffle with Shi Nanbing.
The rear boss was in chaos, and Qin Maoqi suddenly felt that he had a chance. When the two armies are fighting, the comparison is the degree of organization and morale. The degree of composition comes from the usual training and the bullet pressure of the officers, which is especially important for the infantry, which side disperses first, the other side has a chance to win. He attacked the rear division of Zhao Ying, and the formation of the soldiers was chaotic between the sprinting, which was at a disadvantage, but who expected that the situation was now in chaos, and the people of Zhao Ying were also chaotic. Caught in the melee of personal martial arts, Shi Nanbing took advantage of it, and his morale was high, and he had completely suppressed the rear division of Zhao Yingzhong, which was twice as large as his own.
Zhou Wenhe and the other twenty people were not guarding the left and right at night, Zhao Dangshi was safe for the time being, he was engrossed in Qin Maoqi, but he heard the sound of fighting over there, and he screamed that it was not good. When I raised my eyes and turned my eyes, I saw that Shi Zhou's soldiers were constantly rushing down on the avenue.
Hou Dagui and Bai Jiaolong saw that Zhao Dangshi's main formation was attacked, and they were a little shaken, and the Shizhou soldiers on the mountain suddenly descended rapidly, like a torrent, rushing to the forefront, all of them were famous and brave people in Shizhou Wei, Hou Dagui and Bai Jiaolong's armor were fine, but they still couldn't block the full force of the other party's head, and the formation was immediately chaotic.
Both ends were attacked, and only Wu Mingfeng and Yang Chengfu were safe.
Yang Chengfu was timid, and he was at a loss in a panic, but Wu Mingfeng was more calm, and said to him: "You go to support the formation, I will go to the foot of the mountain!" In a hurry, Wu Mingfeng was also flustered, but he had some insight, and a short sentence was also considered. He and Yang Chengfu were far away from Zhao Dangshi and close to the foot of the mountain, and the enemy at the foot of the mountain was numerous and the enemy was outnumbered, Yang Chengfu led 200 horse troops to quickly support the formation, and he took 500 foot soldiers to support the foot of the mountain nearby, so the arrangement was foolproof.
He has been rushing ahead, and he has been hit with several knives and guns on his body, but he has only had some slight flesh wounds, and from time to time he shoots feather arrows that snipe him, and he can't hurt him at all. The battle was in full swing, and suddenly there was a shout of killing behind him, he was stunned, and instantly felt that there was something in front of him, and subconsciously lowered his head, and the two armor-piercing arrows alternated back and forth, and swept along the scalp, taking away a few strands of hair.
Yang Cheng's Ministry arrived in time.
He took the soldiers of his headquarters and waited in the forest not far away to observe the situation, and when he saw that the battle was stalemate, he immediately made a decision and ordered Yang Zhaofeng and others to attack. However, his blow was divided into two blows. The first wave, about a dozen people, was a veteran of the cavalry in the division, and some of them had scout experience before. These people are relatively proficient in the control of horses, so Yang Zhaofeng led them and took the lead out of the forest, attacking behind Shi Nan's soldiers with lightning speed. The second wave was followed by the remaining horse troops who dismounted and fought on foot. Although these men were recruited into the Horse Army Division because of their riding experience, their training was short and their skills were not yet proficient. What's more, at this time, most of the military horses they rode were inferior, and they did not have full body armor, and the equipment was only equipped with a curtain or a chest, to be precise, they could only be regarded as light cavalry, and could not be used as heavy cavalry to attack the enemy. Yang Zhaofeng's veteran on the horse is good to say, after a while, he can still rely on his horse skills to turn the horse's head and intersperse it, so as not to fall into the encirclement and be unable to move, these novices are not easy to say. You must know that these 200 or so military horses are all the belongings of Zhao Ying's horse army, and they are not easy to come by. Yang Chengfu knew that Zhao Dangshi valued and cherished horses, so he would never dare to gamble with these horses and go into battle until he had complete confidence in his men.
Rao is like this, and Shi Nanbing can't support it. Yang Zhaofeng waited for more than ten horsemen to arrive first, and with the speed of the horse, he immediately tore a big hole in Shi Nanbing's back, Shi Nanbing panicked and scattered, and there were bold sights that Yang Zhaofeng and others were only a dozen horses, and then scattered and reunited, to surround the horse army. Yang Zhaofeng's defense was this hand, and with a few whistles, more than a dozen horse soldiers seemed to be led by a rope, drilled out of the oblique and jumped out of the chaos. Yang Zhaofeng gave another order, and the horse army circled clockwise around the line, and after a while, it turned from one end to the other, and Shi Nanbing, who was struggling to catch up behind him, was in vain, panting and eating a lot of sand.
Although Yang Zhaofeng had a small number of horse troops, he shuttled back and forth behind Shi Nanbing and on the side like a ghost, which made all Shi Nanbing panic and always felt that there was a big threat behind him. I have worries, and I don't have as many scruples as before. Wang Laixing took his personal guards to press the formation in front of the formation, obviously feeling that the pressure was light, and roared: "Breaking the enemy is at this time, and all the seeds are given to Lao Tzu!" With a sword on his waist, dozens of brave soldiers beside him turned over and slaughtered into Shi Nan's array.
Qin Maoqi's subordinate Shi Nan's troops have been fighting so far, and they can only move forward with one breath, but now they are under the enemy's back, and with scruples, they are not as fearless as before. Zhao Dangshi took the opportunity and said to Zhou Wenhe: "Take the bow!" β
Zhou Wenhe secretly shot two arrows at Qin Maoqi before, but he didn't hit, handed the bow in his hand, and Zhao Dangshi pulled the string, which was about a two-stone bow. The two stones of the Ming Dynasty are roughly two hundred and twenty catties. Zhao Dangshi stood on the ground, put on an armor-piercing arrow, slowly pulled the bowstring, and aimed at Qin Maoqi, who was fighting by himself. In the chaotic bush, the figures are chaotic, and it is easy to shoot others if you don't aim accurately. Zhao Dangshi held his breath, looked at the opportunity, let go of his two fingers with a "boom", and the arrow shot out like a meteor catching up with the moon.
Armor-piercing arrows cannot pierce armor, but because the arrows are small and easy to penetrate through the gaps in the armor. Zhao Dangshi has the strength but is not good at shooting, and it is just a temporary itch to shoot in person. Speaking of the evil sect, this arrow is impartial, and it goes straight through the gap in the mantle of the mountain armor worn by Qin Maoqi, and it penetrates into the flesh and bones.
Qin Maoqi was fighting angrily, and suddenly felt that his left shoulder blade sank, and the whole person was carried back by the momentum brought by the armor-piercing arrow. He hurriedly thrust the lancet into the ground, and he could not hold it downβin the midst of such a chaotic crowd, once he fell, he would never want to get up again.
As soon as he was hit, Zhou Wenhe raised his eyebrows and shouted without a mouth: "All command an arrow, the enemy chief has been shot to death!" β
When Wang Laixing heard about it, he also shouted and cheered, boosting morale. They have followed Zhao Dangshi for a long time, and they are familiar with the ability to pull the banner of tiger skin.
Zhao Dangshi sighed and returned the bow to Zhou Wenhe. This arrow was originally aimed at Qin Maoqi's unprotected head, and he didn't want to deviate so much, but fortunately, he traumatized Qin Maoqi, so as not to lose his morale. However, although Qin Maoqi is not dead, his people have shown decline, there is Wang Laixing's stubborn resistance in the front, and Yang Chengfu's infantry is pressing, Shi Nanbing is restless, and Qin Maoqi is injured, and the morale is even more depressed.
At the foot of the mountain, the Shizhou soldiers who broke through were driven by a strong desire to survive, constantly shaking the defensive circle composed of Hou Dagui, Bai Jiaolong and Wu Mingfeng, who came up with support.
Hou Dagui turned his head to avoid a flying hammer, spat and scolded: "Thief barbarian, it's amazing!" He was at ease behind the battle, he was worry-free, but there were really some strong men in the Shizhou soldiers, and he was stunned to be able to throw more than ten catties of flying hammers and axes for dozens of meters, if it weren't for the protection of some long players left and right, Hou Dagui was afraid that it would be difficult to escape.
This road is known as the main road in the east, but after all, it is a mountain road, there are 1,500 people in the three divisions of Zhao Ying on this side, and nearly 5,000 Shizhou soldiers on that side of the mountain. In particular, the Shizhou soldiers, one or two thousand people in the front were still in order because they were fighting with the enemy, and the two or three thousand people in the rear did not know the future situation, and only thought about fleeing for their lives. Fortunately, the Shizhou soldiers in the front were really brave, and they barely stabilized the whole army.
Hou Dagui and Bai Jiaolong fought fiercely for a long time, and his soldiers were tired, casualties gradually increased, and the front continued to move back. Seeing that something was wrong with the situation, they contacted each other privately, believing that it was not appropriate to continue the struggle. Just as he wanted to unite with Wu Mingfeng, the three of them asked Zhao Dangshi to retreat together, and Zhao Dangshi first sent troops to give an order: "Let go of the small mouth, go to the enemy, and attack later!" β
Hou Dagui was overjoyed and informed Bai Jiaolong, and the two joined Wu Mingfeng's department and moved slightly to the rear.
It turned out that Zhao Dangshi looked at the situation of the two roads, and saw that the battle situation at the foot of the mountain was anxious, and it was difficult to win quickly. Qin Maoqi wanted to control the casualties, and Zhao Ying was even more so, especially in this Tusi territory, where it was difficult to replenish the soldiers. At present, although Hou Dagui and others can compete with the Shi Zhou soldiers, as long as they have a little vision, they can see that Zhao Ying is gradually powerless when facing the Shi Zhou soldiers who are superior in numbers, fierce like tigers, and fighting against the water.
The combat strength of Shi Zhoubing exceeded Zhao Dangshi's expectations, so he took measures according to the time and resorted to this "want to capture and indulge". Let Hou Dagui and the others let out their mouths, in order to divert Shi Zhoubing's attention. The survival of the Shizhou soldiers is important, there is a way to live, since they no longer fight to the death, and then slightly control to control the flow of their escape, which is similar to the traditional siege technique of "besieging three queyi".
Sure enough, the Shizhou soldiers in the bitter struggle saw that the soldiers and horses of the Zhao battalion were retreating, and there was a road to pass, so they didn't have time to think about it, so they took the road and left. At this time, the disadvantages of the huge number of sources are reflected. The local soldiers only care about their own families and flee for their lives, regardless of the life and death of other families, and they can be twisted into a rope when they are trapped.
After going down the mountain road, Hou, Bai, and Wu respectively unfolded their formations, flanking the Shizhou soldiers from time to time, and the Shizhou soldiers who were still fighting not long ago only wanted to retreat, but they didn't fight back.
Shi Zhoubing quickly walked halfway, Hou Dagui seized the opportunity to cut off one of them, and Bai Jiaolong and Wu Mingfeng outflanked them from the left and right wings. It doesn't matter if they escape, the two thousand or so Shizhou soldiers left behind have to be eaten no matter what.
The retreat was cut off again, and the Shizhou soldiers had to resist again. But at this time and that time, the mountain road was narrow before, the battle surface was not wide, and it was difficult for the two sides to fight in the mountains, so the Shizhou soldiers with outstanding martial arts had the upper hand. The terrain was a little slower, Hou Dagui and others re-arrayed, surrounded on three sides, and the Shizhou soldiers, who were in chaos and had no formation at all, could not get any more bargains, and many of their commanders had already fled, and the rest of the troops did not know who to listen to, and they were mixed in the formation, rushing indiscriminately.
With a suona sound, the soldiers of the Zhao battalion rubbed shoulders one after another, like an iron wall, and slowly pasted towards the Shizhou soldiers. No matter how great Shi Zhoubing's single ability is, at this time he is also poor in donkey skills, only to see the white blade like frost, the sword light is scattered, even if the Shi Zhou soldiers who have no military sequence forget to die, gritting their teeth to resist, but they are like mantis arms as a car, insignificant. Not long after, Xu Hui brought in reinforcements from behind the mountain, and attacked from all sides, and there was no possibility of Shizhou soldiers repeatingly.
The noise gradually subsided.
Because of Zhao Dangshi's instructions, Hou Dagui and others did not leave prisoners, and two thousand Shizhou soldiers were killed all over the siege, none of them lived, and the corpses at the foot of Qiyao Shandong Mountain were all over the field, and the blood was turned into a stream.
After Hou Dagui waited for success, he returned to Zhao Dangshi, but was shocked to see that the sneak attack of the Shi Nan soldiers had not died so far, and they were still resisting stubbornly, but seeing that the remaining dozen Shi Nan soldiers gathered for a week, one of the young generals was like a blood bath, and his body was covered with blood, and he couldn't stop shouting.
Zhao Dangshi admired it in his heart, and ordered the fight to be stopped, and Wang Laixing's soldiers besieged Shi Nan's soldiers layer by layer, waiting for Zhao Dangshi to come forward to ask.
Zhao Dangshi was surrounded by his own soldiers and asked, "Who is Your Excellency, please see your name." β
The young general was obviously very tired, first pointed at the ground with the tip of his spear, took a few breaths, and then said in a trembling voice: "Thief, ask, ask your grandfather's name, you, you are still unworthy!" After he finished speaking, he tried his best to hold his head high and held on a few times, but he still couldn't help but stiffen up.
Zhao Dangshi's face was Hongyi, without half a bit of ridicule, Hou Dagui and others were born in a fight, even if the other party was an enemy, but for this kind of tough guy, he couldn't help but admire it. At this time, a person approached Zhao Dangshi and said: "This person is the son of Qin Fu, and this time he sent troops to the Seven Medicine Mountains to control all the roads, Qin Maoqi." β
"Huh?" The second monk of Zhao Dangshi was puzzled, since he was in command of an army, how could he fall to the point of leading the people who dared to die in battle?
Without waiting for him to ask, Qin Maoqi shouted first: "Qin Jinxiao, you, how can you ......" The person who spoke to Zhao Dangshi he recognized, who was not Qin Jinxiao, the consolation envoy of Zhonglu? The next moment, he figured out the reason for his failure, and his dirty face twisted into a ball, not knowing whether to cry or laugh.
