Chapter 228: It's so promising, but it hurts people with a secret arrow [Ask for subscription]
"Kill—" Lin Chong shouted with his spear, and the cavalry and horses behind him roared everyone, and their morale was like a dragon. Two of them were dressed in iron armor and charged at the front, and the rest were leather armor. It's not that there aren't enough iron armor in the Liangshan army, it's that there aren't enough horses in Liangshanbo.
For the horses of the first rank were reserved for use as armoured iron horses. There are quite a few of them, but they are not used by the Iron Cavalry. Compared with the armored iron cavalry, the ironclad cavalry is not only a war horse without a vest, but the horse armor is much lighter, and its importance is a step behind. Can only serve as the backbone of regular cavalry. In general horse armor, the iron armor is more than ten catties heavier than the leather armor. It is the weight of these dozen catties that makes the protection of the iron cavalry rise a lot, and it also makes their importance second only to that of the armored iron cavalry.
The second-class horses of Liangshanbo came to be the mounts of the iron cavalry, and their number was much smaller than that of the first-class horses. The 3,000 good horses that Gao Yu allocated to Hu Yanzhuo at the beginning were really the top war horses in the Central Plains. Now Liangshanbo has made this distinction again, and the proportion of horses suitable for riding war horses with armor and iron is still very large. Lu Qian was reluctant to use them to ride the iron cavalry, because the war horses suitable for the iron cavalry to ride were still obtained by Liang Shanbo through other channels. But if you want to get first-class horses in large quantities, it is not possible. And the lowest third-class war horse is the mount of the leather cavalry.
Lin Chong is now leading a thousand cavalry, and the timing of his attack is very appropriate, that is, the cavalry array in the middle of the attack is too long and thin.
Leopard Head is not a professional rider after all.
But he is now the most suitable person for this position in Liangshanbo. Cavalry, swift and efficient offense also match his personality very well. Seeing the opportunity is a fatal blow.
Now, Lin Chong saw an opportunity. Maybe that opportunity is just what he thinks is an opportunity, but isn't that what the generals are on the battlefield? Now the leopard head has only the only thing left in his mind to attack, attack, and attack again!
A series of victories boosted the morale of the Liangshan army, and Fang Jie's clean and neat victory in two battles made the soldiers even more high-spirited. And the Song army's poor performance on the battlefield has also made Liang Shanjun despise it very much. In this way, is there still a word of fear in their hearts?
The soldiers and horses of the two armies fought much differently today, both wings flew together, outflanking the opponent's Chinese army, and completely crushing their military formation with the reinforcement of the rear army. Therefore, the cavalry of both sides played an important role in this decision-making.
The cavalry is fast and has a great impact, just like a sharp knife, no matter what the final victory or defeat is, as long as this sharp knife is played well, it can leave a few blood holes in the opponent's body. Lu Qian was not prepared to think about this kind of consequence, so he asked Lin Chong to cut off the sharp knife in Song Jun's hand before the critical moment came.
Wang Shixuan looked at the Liangshan army, which was clearly visible a hundred steps away, these people were excellently equipped, and they were not inferior to the official army. But their numbers are too small. Even if their own horse army was divided in two, the cavalry remaining on the right flank would be nearly twice as large as the opponent. Yes, so many cavalry came again and split into two, and the current troops in his hands were not as many as the Liangshan army, but he had reinforcements behind him.
A simple, long-term tactic came to his mind.
The front army is against the enemy, and the rear army accumulates strength, and when the enemy cavalry is exhausted, the rear army follows up, and the enemy army can be easily defeated.
When he was competing with the Western Xia barbarians and the Hehuang Qiang people in the northwest, many of his own victories and defeats were reflected in this old method of warfare. Wang Shixuan is also a figure who came out of the Western Army, and he is a brave general in the bag of Tong Guan.
"Kill! Kill! Kill—"
With the call of Wang Shixuan, the deputy commander of the Gongsheng Army, the earth-shattering shouting immediately sounded from the official army.
Two streams of iron, one large and one small, collided together. In an instant, it was the intensity of Mars hitting the Earth.
"Kill—"
"Kill—"
The drums of war shook the sky, and the trumpets were excited.
The leopard took the lead, and instantly crashed into the Song cavalry, and fiercely waved the flag at the front of the whole army.
In the middle of the Song army, He Guan's body stiffened suddenly, his eyes were watching the cavalry on the right flank fighting, thinking that it should be the officers and soldiers who had the upper hand. Because the Liangshan cavalry is a newly formed team.
On the same day, Lu Qian brought the cavalry to greet him in Fan County, and the slap in the face was a slap in the face, but it also leaked the bottom. As long as it is a fight, there will be casualties, and Liang Shanjun is no exception. It's just that their losses are undoubtedly very small. The Song army, which was cleaning the battlefield, only picked up four wounded and fallen Liangshan soldiers from the pile of dead.
Some of them gritted their teeth and didn't say a word; There are also people who soften their bones at the moment of life and death, and say everything they know like pouring beans into a bamboo tube.
The cavalry of Liangshanbo came from a complex source, not only in small numbers, but also in insufficient training. Many of them were surrendered by the officers and soldiers. The first battalion of the horse army that went that night was the fist strength of the Liangshan Po horse team, and the second battalion of the horse army was far worse than the first battalion. After He Guan heard these words, his confidence was boosted a lot.
only turned around and slashed the two commanders of the Gong Saint Army. It is considered to be a model of a nest of bears. The other party is the leader of the thief chieftain himself.
But now, it seems that he has wronged those two commanders. Wang Shixuan was born in the Western Army, and he was a brave general who faced the Western Xia barbarians
The iron harriers are not afraid, how can they be afraid of a nest of grass thieves to ride? But the small thousand cavalry under his command was still defeated and retreated.
"Poof-" The sharp blade of the gun poked into the chest of a Song Army officer, and Lin Chong shook the corpse on the head of the gun as if he was swinging a straw, and smashed it at another Song rider who pounced.
It's a lot like bowling. Not only did he smash down the Song horse, but even his war horse was directly smashed to the ground.
With Lin Chong opening the way, how can the Song army and the horse army not be defeated and retreat? Especially after Wang Shixuan and Lin Chong fought for more than 20 times, they were stabbed in the shoulder socket by a leopard's head and almost fell off the horse. The decline of the Song Army's horse team is even more obvious.
He Guan's face was serious, was the officer, army, and horse team so vulnerable? It was angry and disbelievable. Lu Qian, who was watching the formation in the rear, had a smile on his face.
Although the overall quality of the cavalry of the Liangshan Army is still lacking, it depends on who it is compared with.
Compared with the golden soldiers and iron horses, it is naturally inferior; Compared with the Khitan and Western Xia cavalry, I'm afraid it's enough to choke. But the cavalry of the Song Army can be raised, and it is still a wave of old soldiers in Tokyo City, so there should be no pressure.
As the courage of an army, Lin Chong completed this time so vividly. He always charged at the forefront of the whole army, and along the way, he was like a whirling electric drill bit, tearing open gaps one by one in the blocking Song cavalry ranks.
No one can stop his offensive, not cavalry, not grass-roots officers, not middle-level officers, even Wang Shixuan himself. One by one, the brave men of the army who pounced on him were like moths thrown into the fire, or like meat buns thrown into the dog's mouth—there was no return.
"Report to the captain, General Wang asks for reinforcements."
Wang Shixuan had already asked the rear team of the right flank to rush forward to support, and he was still thinking about the horse team on the left flank of the Song army.
He Guan groaned for it. The left flank is not ridden by the Liangshan bandits, but isn't it precisely the case, so that it is better to give full play to the advantages of the horse army and disrupt the enemy army?
A veteran of the guards standing behind He Guan suddenly spoke: "Captain, don't care how powerful those grass thieves are, as long as they cut off their heads, they will naturally have no leaders, and there will be no climate." However, seeing that He Guan was unwilling to dispatch the cavalry on the left flank, he immediately opened his mouth to offer another solution.
The leopard head Lin Chong is very good, in the eyes of this person, the reason why the right-wing horse army that the Liangshan army can fight is defeated and retreated one after another, all because Lin Chong is strong in martial arts, and he has repeatedly charged into battle, and his sharpness is unstoppable. But if Lin Chong is eradicated, the Liangshan thief will be beaten back to its original shape.
This is an ordinary guard, and judging by what he is wearing, he is by no means a very remarkable officer.
Behind He Guan, there were many guards like veterans, who had been watching everything that was happening on the battle formation with an indifferent expression.
He Guan is an extremely smart person, and he knows the meaning of the strings and songs. Glancing back at the veterans, Banxiang frowned and said, "Stop, it's not that time." "These veterans are the soldiers who He Guan collected when he fought in the northwest before. In total, there are only 200 people younger. The one who has been with him for the longest time has been around for twenty years. Even if others are transferred to Tokyo City, there are a lot of such confidants who stay by their side and settle down well. This is the essence of his half-life career.
Nowadays, there are many imperial court captains, and there are very few people who fight like him. Others, such as Su Yuanjing, Gao Yu and others, can't get it if they want to. Of course, this point of death service in He Guan's hand is incomparable with the dare to die of the Western Army generals, such as the Chong family, the Yao family, the Liu family, and the Zhe family.
Easily, He Guan would not and could not bear to throw them out.
"Wang Shixuan has been hit hard, and the courage of the generals of the battalions of the Ma army is about to be frightened." The latter worries that if it is too late, it will be too late.
"Why do you need to make a move from Taiwei Lao's henchmen, the young general is willing to lead three or five good shooters to destroy him-" Behind He Guan, a general wearing iron armor and a dark robe turned around.
"Uncle Liu Ping......" He Guan frowned. The person in front of him was also born in a family of generals in the Western Army, and his father Liu Yanqing was a general in the Western Army. Liu's family is a general, Liu Yanqing is heroic and brave, several from the Western Expedition, made military achievements, accumulated officials to Xiangzhou Observation Envoy, Long Shenwei Commander Envoy, and Yan Yanlu Chief. Uncle Liu Ping is his third son, who served as the third class of officials in the shade, and was promoted to lead the defense envoy, and is now twenty and six.
According to reason, He Guan should look at Uncle Liu Ping differently, they are all from the Western Army, so it is important to estimate the love of incense, right? But in fact, He Guan did "look at Uncle Liu Ping differently", and he was very impatient with Uncle Liu Ping. Who let his father Liu Yanqing and Gao Yu wear a pair of pants?
Who is the reason why the high-ranking people stayed in Tokyo and led the Western Army from afar, and they were able to get credit again and again? That is Liu Yanqing.
After the high-ranking people made their careers, they can also be said to be grateful to Liu Yanqing and his son, and they took good care of them.
Uncle Liu Ping, he is also called Liu Guangshi, and Uncle Ping is his cousin. If it weren't for this battle to level Liangshan, the twenty-six-year-old Liu Guangshi would have been pushed by Gao Yu to the position of the commander of the soldiers and horses on Langyan Road, and returned to the northwest to accumulate credit under his father.
He Guandang even approved Liu Guangshi's invitation. Anyway, the gains and losses are not lost to him, and the third son of the Liu family brought more than a dozen Liu family veterans behind him, even if he can't do anything, he can protect him and come back alive. And Liu Guangshi himself is also quite brave.
After receiving He Guan's consent here, Liu Jiazaburo immediately let out a roar, and rushed out of the Chinese army array. Behind him, more than a dozen cavalry veterans caught up with him, and soon caught them in the center.
This small group of people is indeed quite better than the Tokyo horse army. In the chaotic army, it is better to take a leisurely stroll, you must know that now the rear cavalry of the right wing of the Song army has also poured in, and even Wang Shixuan asked someone to report to He Guan, asking him to transfer the horse army on the left wing back as support. And Wang Shixuan himself, who was seriously injured, still endured and did not retreat, commanding the horse army to fight, which can be said to be doing his best.
Many of the Song army horsemen were terrified, but this group of people was very calm.
And the riding skills are also particularly exquisite. Liu Guangshi did not rely on his identity to let the Song cavalry who was galloping on the horse to avoid it, but saw the stitches, and directly embedded it with more than a dozen horses, wandering in the gaps of the cavalry. But this hand, unless you are really proficient in equestrianism, you can't play it.
"When-" The tip of the spear hit a bone, and it was another Song cavalry warrior who came to die.
Wang Shixuan saw that his proposal was not approved by He Guan, and when he dealt with Lin Chong, he could only throw out a heavy reward, "Those who can stab Lin Chong under the horse will be promoted to the first rank, and the reward will be 100 yuan." "And under the heavy money, there are brave men.
The ancients said: Ten people are called Hao, 100 people are called Jie, 1,000 people are said to be Jun, and 10,000 people are said to be Ying. There are more than 1,000 Song cavalry under the direct command of Wang Shixuan, as long as they are willing to spend the capital, they will naturally give up their lives in exchange.
The tip of Lin Chong's spear retracted backwards along the force, and the strength was transmitted to Lin Chong's arm. But I saw him turn his right arm slightly, and then swing it, and the invisible arm muscles and muscles covered by the armor suddenly rose, and a strong force suddenly popped out.
"Bang!" Again, the spear stabbed at his opponent at a faster speed.
"Bell." There was a symphony of gold and iron, and the black iron bones were alive and well, and Lin Chong's shot was born.
But if he can block one, two, or three ......, can he still block the fourth and fifth shots?
As soon as the torrent is discharged, thousands of miles of oceans. The sheer force was completely beyond the limits of what this man could bear, and the Iron Bone Duo could no longer resist it. The spear slammed into the bones, slicing through the man's body in a ray of scorching light. The latter's eyes contained a great desire to survive, but it was of no use at all.
And that's exactly what happened. "Whoosh-" A thumb-thick carved arrow nailed to Lin Chong's breastplate with a whistle that broke through the air, smashing his chest. The arrows slammed into the armor and made a sharp "dang long" sound, and they were not bounced off, but did not enter a finger deep into the armor. The head of the leopard felt a tingling pain in his chest.
The timing of this arrow is really good, and when Lin Chong killed a person, he relaxed his vigilance in a good mood.
Lin Chong looked forward in the direction of the arrow, and saw that in the overlapping shadow of Song Qi, a young general in his twenties was holding a half-human-high bow, and another arrow had been mounted on the bowstring.
Liu Guangshi secretly scolded himself in his heart for being eager. After all, this is the head of a leopard, and he is the great enemy of Captain Gao, and if he kills this person, he will inevitably ask Captain Gao to accept a big favor from him.
The timing of the arrow was very good, but the figure was hidden, and the angle was not large. He should have waited for the right time. Because of a character like Lin Chong, the armor on his body is extraordinary, and it is difficult to hit him hard with an arrow on the breastplate. It's just that he was lucky, thinking that his bow was strong, and he thought that he could hit the leopard's head with one arrow, but he expected that the arrow he shot was hanging on Lin Chong's chest armor, but the leopard's head was not hurt at all, and he pulled the arrow off with his backhand, which was useless at all.
Liu Guangshi secretly regretted that he didn't die by fighting the snake, but made him vigilant. The best option now was to turn around and leave, because his figure had already been noticed by Lin Chong. But Liu Guangshi was unwilling, he pulled his bow and arrows again, this time he wanted to shoot Lin Chong's face.
"How daring. Unexpectedly, the arrow hurts people, you are so pickled and talented, you will die for me-" Lin Chong was furious. Spear your horse and go straight to him to kill the general.
