Chapter 62 Li Kui, Liu Tang, and Xie Zhen
…
The people of the Song Jiang Righteous Army really didn't expect that this group of Song Army, who only had a few hundred people, would dare to go out of the village to fight back!
Therefore, the people of the Song Jiang Righteous Army were caught off guard by Cai Hui and them, and many people of the Song Jiang Righteous Army, who had already climbed half along the pedal arrow, fell from it one after another.
But—
The black man and the short-legged man are really tough!
When they saw this, they were stunned, and then they jumped off the wall, and then killed Cai and them, as if they wanted to kill directly from the walled mountain.
When you meet on a narrow road, the brave wins!
Cai still did not hesitate to lead the soldiers of the Jinwu Army to meet him!
Although the overlord gun in Cai Ying's hand looked quite heavy, Cai Ying's figure was there, and the black and strong man didn't believe that Cai Ying, who was two circles smaller than him, would have more strength than him.
Therefore, at the moment of hand-to-hand contact, seeing Cai Ying's overlord gun sweeping over, the black strong man just casually used the plate axe in his hand to smash it, and then he was ready to bully and use another plate axe to split Cai Ying in half.
However, soon the black and strong man sensed that something was wrong, "Breaking the air!" Broken ......"
This was the last thought of the black strong man before his death, and the next moment he was swept away by Cai Ying's shot, and then hit a big pine tree on the side, and bled to death!
The short-legged man who followed the black strong man was instantly frightened, "How is this possible, Tie Bull ...... him"
"Flutter!"
Cai Ying, who has rich combat experience, how could he give the enemy who slipped a chance? At the moment of smashing the black and strong man, Cai still twisted his waist without even hesitating, and then solved the short-legged man with one shot.
After throwing the short-legged man out, Cai still rushed into the Song Jiang righteous army like a vicious tiger pounced!
Cai still solved the two leaders of the other party in one face, which greatly boosted the morale of the soldiers of the Jinwu army, and they did not hesitate to follow Cai still into the Song Jiang rebel army!
The overlord gun in Cai Ying's hand, he died if he held some of it, and he died if he knocked some of it, and he was beaten by the skin, rubbed his tendons, which of the people of the Song Jiang Righteous Army could resist, after he entered the Song Jiang Righteous Army, he was slaughtered like a vicious tiger entering a flock of sheep, and the people of the Song Jiang Righteous Army were so frightened that they all tried their best to escape from him, the killing god!
And the soldiers of the Jinwu Army, the fighting never pays attention to one-on-one single fighting, but team assassination, two or three or three or five soldiers automatically form a small team, even in the face of an enemy who exceeds them can be defeated - Cai still has always emphasized team fighting, at this time to exert its power, even if the people of the Song Jiang Righteous Army want to kill a team composed of two Jinwu Army soldiers, they have to pay the price of four or five people, against a small team of three or five people, even if ten or eight people are killed or wounded, they may not be able to destroy this small team.
The more the people of the Song Jiang Righteous Army fought hard, the more frightened they became.
The soldiers of the Jinwu Army are just the opposite, the more they fight, the more brave they are.
Soon, a situation was formed on the battlefield in which forty or fifty people pressed four or five hundred people to fight.
The leader of a Song Jiang rebel army was furious when he saw this, and he personally led his own army up to break up the two small groups of the Jinwu army.
But the leader of the Song Jiang Righteous Army was immediately targeted by Yuezheng.
Yue Zheng did not hesitate to meet the leader of the Song Jiang Righteous Army.
The two sides exchanged guns and fought for nearly ten rounds.
Yu Zheng stabbed the leader of the Song Jiang rebel army to death with one shot.
Yu Zheng did not hesitate, and then killed the pro-army brought by the leader of the Song Jiang Righteous Army, and shot one by one, and he stabbed three people to death in a row.
Soon, a small team was formed with Yuzheng as the center and continued to fight with the people of Song Jiang's righteous army.
One bet from Cai Yi below, all of them were extremely brave, and the people who killed the Song Jiang Righteous Army were terrified.
The people of the Song Jiang Righteous Army finally couldn't hold it anymore, and slowly turned from retreating to fleeing, the brave leaders were all killed, and the unbrave leaders ran in front of the minions.
Cai still took the remaining more than 30 Jinwu soldiers to chase after him and cover up the killing, until the response of the Song Jiang Righteous Army arrived, Cai still and they did not stop.
At this time, Cai was still soaked in blood, and he was alive like a demon, he stood with a gun, and the more than 1,000 people of the Song Jiang righteous army opposite did not dare to step forward!
After a long time, the people of the Song Jiang Righteous Army on the opposite side reacted, and Cai still and the more than 30 people behind Cai still added together, but there were only more than 30 people, and each of them could drown these more than 30 people with a mouthful of spit.
The people of the Song Jiang Righteous Army began to move forward tentatively.
But at this moment, the gate of the Keishan Cottage opened, and more than 300 war horses rushed out of the gate with a roar!
Seeing this, the people of Song Jiang's righteous army immediately took back the footsteps they had just taken!
Soon, Wang De led Ma Du to Cai Yi and the others.
The two sides began to confront each other, and it seemed that a big war was coming.
At this moment, more than 200 soldiers of the township army came out of the gate of the village and began to clean up the battlefield.
This battle, whether it is for the Jinwu army or for the Song Jiang army, the supplement is a big problem - the Jinwu army gave up the baggage and light equipment and marched to the Kei cottage, and the arrows it brought were actually barely enough to fight one or two small-scale battles, to be honest, if it weren't for the fact that there were still some arrows in the Kei cottage, and Suo Chao sent a batch to the Jinwu army before, maybe now the Jinwu army has no arrows. And the situation of the Songjiang Righteous Army, to be precise, is the vanguard of the Songjiang Righteous Army, in fact, it is not much better than the Jinwu Army, in order to seize time, they must also leave their baggage in the rear, so there will not be too many arrows.
Therefore, whoever cleans the battlefield may have the balance of victory in favor of whom.
Cai Yan and the others had already discussed this truth, so Zhang Xian and the others would send the township army out to clean up the battlefield, and the Song Jiang Yi army actually knew about it.
But the leaders of the Song Jiang Righteous Army knew this truth and knew this truth, but they really didn't have the courage to fight with the Jinwu Army, which had fully demonstrated their combat power, in order to seize the power to clean up the battlefield.
In the end, the people of the Song Jiang Righteous Army could only watch the more than 200 township troops clean up the battlefield, and then Cai still led the Jinwu army to retreat to Jishanzhai.
……
This battle frustrated the momentum of the Song Jiang Righteous Army, and the Song Jiang Righteous Army did not attack again in the next hour.
And the Jin Wu army took advantage of this precious time to quickly strengthen the fortifications and seize the time to eat.
The battle just now made Cai still more prestigious in the Jinwu army - before that, everyone had heard that Cai was still strong in martial arts and infinitely powerful, but there were many people who had heard of it, and few people had seen it, and today they finally saw Cai Zhen's power, and finally no longer doubted that Cai Zhen's power was boasted by their commanders.
Seeing that Song Jiang's rebels had not attacked for a long time, Cai still asked Zhang Yu to interrogate the prisoners.
Through interrogation, Cai still learned:
The vanguard of the Song Jiang Righteous Army was led by the Iron Whip Hu Yanxuan and the Blue-faced Beast Yang Zhi and others, totaling more than 3,000 people—now that they are gone, they have lost three or four hundred people, and only two thousand five or six hundred people remain.
Before attacking Jishanzhai, Hu Yanqiu and Yang Zhi had a disagreement - Hu Yanxuan advocated an immediate attack on Jishanzhai, while Yang Zhi advocated waiting until after dark to capture Jishanzhai in one fell swoop under the cover of night, and finally, because Hu Yanqiu's status in the Song Jiang Righteous Army was higher than Yang Zhi's, and because Song Jiang had a clear instruction to take the Jishan Cottage as soon as possible to open up the road to the east, Hu Yanxuan had the upper hand, and the Song Jiang Righteous Army launched an attack on the Jishan Cottage not long after they arrived in Jishan.
And the large army of Song Jiang's righteous army led by Song Jiang and others may have to take two to three days to reach Jishanzhai.
In addition, in the battle just now, the Jin Wu Army killed the three leaders of the Song Jiang Righteous Army, they were the black whirlwind Li Kui, the shakuhachi-legged Liu Tang, and the two-headed snake Xie Zhen - the black and strong man who was killed by Cai Yi was Li Kui, the short-legged man was Liu Tang, and the one who was provoked by Yue Zheng was Xie Zhen.
Knowing that Li Kui, Liu Tang, and Xie Zhen were also killed by himself and his own people, Cai still couldn't get tired of it, because of this battle, his Jinwu army also lost more than 20 people - although the ratio of losses in this battle was as high as 1 to 10, Cai was still not happy at all, on the contrary, Cai was still very worried!
Many people have a misconception about siege warfare in ancient times, believing that the best time to siege a city is during the day.
This is actually a mistake.
The best time to siege a city is actually at night.
Although the ability to attack and defend is weakened at night, relatively speaking, it is weakened more on the defending side.
At this time, many people have night blindness and limited visibility, so darkness can greatly reduce the pressure of long-range attacks on the defending side.
The night can also hide whether the attacker is feintifying or actually attacking, it can also hide the attacker's movements, and it can also hide the number of attackers.
In addition, a night siege can cause stress and fear on the defenders, especially for less experienced defenders.
Therefore, the best time to siege a city is dark night, and the best time to defend a city is a clear day.
Therefore, the battle during the day is not the most difficult to fight, but the most difficult to fight is actually the battle that is coming at night.
Cai still passed down the order, let the first, second, third, and fourth take turns to rest and prepare for the night battle, and Ma Du and the township army temporarily assisted the infantry army that did not rest to defend.
……
Jin Wuxi fell to the east and the rabbit rose to the east.
The biggest test of the Jinwu army is coming.
The black-pressed Song Jiang rebels gathered in the distance like ants, not knowing their number or which direction they would attack from.
The soldiers of the Jinwu army took up their weapons and climbed the wall.
Niu Gao found an opportunity to whisper to Cai Ying: "General, once we can't hold it, I will cut off the queen for you, and you will take Ma Du out of the back door to move the rescuers." ”
Cai still looked at Niu Gao's simple face, smiled slightly, and said: "I understand your kindness, if I am the one who is reluctant to make a living, why should I be a good civil official and take you to form the Jinwu Army?" ”
Niu Gao didn't dare to say, "If you die, the Jinwu army will be gone", but said euphemistically: "But if the Jinwu army is all wiped out here today, won't the general's hard work be in vain?" The general took the horses away, and with the general's skills and family background, he could completely rebuild another Jinwu army. ”
Cai still shook his head, then looked at the soldiers of the Jinwu Army who were preparing to fight to the death, and said, "Boyuan, you are wrong, do you know what is the most important thing in an army?" ”
Niu Gao asked, "What is it?" ”
Cai still said leisurely: "The most important thing for an army is not how accurately the soldiers shoot arrows and how powerful they fight, but that this army must have a strong iron military soul, do you know how the iron military soul is born?" It is tenacious, it is brave, it is resolute to carry out orders, it is the desire for victory, it is the pursuit of honor, it is forged with blood and will, the Jinwu Army is a new army, strictly speaking this is our first battle, if we retreat in this battle, then the Jinwu Army will never give birth to a steely military soul, if this is the case, then the Jinwu Army will not have any value of reconstruction. ”
