Chapter 125: Breaking the Formation (Two Chapters in One)

It was only at this time that these red-eyed Jurchen knights of Zengtou City reacted at once, and hurriedly shouted and abandoned their bows and spears, and organized a battle.

Speaking of which, when pursuing this group of Liangshan cavalry, these Jurchen cavalry had already discovered that most of their opponents were novices in riding who had just learned to ride horses for less than half a year.

In their minds, this is simply the easiest battle, as long as their own side catches up with them and beats them all three, it is a one-sided slaughter!

But now the other party turned around and charged at him, although his side was in chaos for various reasons, the formation was chaotic, and the speed slowed down, and he suffered a big loss.

But now when the two armies were engaged head-on, they suddenly found that even if they didn't have the front, the dense array of this group of Liangshan bandits was almost unshakable on their side!

The opponent's formation was too close, almost knee to knee, but seeing that the spears were dense and dense, each knight on his side almost had to face three or four spears at the same time.

Even if he can successfully stab an opponent, but if he stabs another two or three spears, he will only be stabbed through, turn over and fall off the horse, and be trampled into flesh!

What made them even more desperate was that ordinary cavalry faced each other, even if they were not as good as their opponents right away, they still had enough space to dodge and maneuver.

But now facing the Liangshan novice cavalry coming from the opposite side like a wall, he has a superb equestrian skill, but he has no way to dodge it at all.

These Jurchen cavalry panicked immediately, they had never seen this kind of life-for-life fighting, let alone thinking of fighting so hard with the enemy.

Just when they couldn't react and didn't know how to respond, the spear Rulin on the opposite side had already collided with each other.

Hearing only the sound of metal colliding and bones shattering that made people's teeth sour and scalp numb, the walls of the Liangshan Army cavalry on all sides suddenly looked like four chisels, chiseling through one or two layers of loose Jurchen cavalry arrays at once.

These Liangshan army's spears tore through the armor of a famous Jurchen knight very easily, stabbed them in half, and planted their horses screaming.

The place where it passed was like hot soup melting snow, like a quick knife breaking through a bamboo, on the four impact fronts of the Liangshan army, all the Jurchen cavalry were swept away, and three big openings were made in the cavalry formation of Zengtou City at once.

In the next moment, these Liangshan cavalry let go one after another, abandoned the spears that had been broken by the violent impact or stabbed into the enemy's body too late to pull out, pulled out the broken sword they wore at their waists, and slashed and slashed with a roar.

According to countless drills in advance, the surviving cavalry of the Liangshan Army, who broke through the first and second layers of the Jurchen cavalry formation with spears and killed the third layer of the Jurchen cavalry array with their broken knives, did not continue to slash forward, but immediately turned their horses' heads and killed the wings, and the broken knives would cut down the messy Jurchen knights along the way one by one like cutting wheat.

At the same time, the cavalry of the two battalions of Zhang Qing's headquarters were all transported to the effective firing range, and a thousand cavalry bows continued to turn from the full moon into a semicircle, splashing out bursts of arrow rain.

The cavalry formation in the back row of the Jurchens became chaotic because they wanted to pursue Lin Chong, and many people were suddenly shot on their backs!

At this time, Shi Wengong, who was commanding the battle in the middle of the Jurchen cavalry formation, his eyes widened again, and he looked at all this in disbelief.

He couldn't believe that this cavalry team that he had carefully trained and built was actually defeated so neatly in the hard-fought cavalry charge against a group of recruits who had learned to ride horses for less than half a year, and their riding skills were not even comparable to those of ten-year-old children in Zengtou City?

Shi Wengong couldn't help but be anxious, and hurriedly exhaled; "Steady, steady! Gather in the middle! Fight with them! Shoot arrows on the wings of the back row, don't chase ......"

Before he finished speaking, the Liangshan military cavalry in the second row once again raised the speed to the highest speed and crashed into it like four walls.

On the four impact fronts of the Liangshan Army, two more layers of Jurchen knights were swept away in an instant.

Of course, no more than the first charge, all the Jurchen knights in the first two rows were almost stunned, but this time, almost half of the Jurchen knights learned the lesson of the last time and knew that they couldn't dodge.

These Jurchen knights also burst out with barbaric blood in the depths of their bones, since they can't hide, then they can exchange their lives for their lives!

Therefore, although the result of the battle was similar to the first charge, this time the four cavalry walls of the Liangshan Army inevitably suffered large casualties.

Immediately, there were almost 40 Liangshan cavalrymen, and while stabbing over the enemy cavalry on the opposite side, they were also stabbed by the opponent's unfatal spear, and turned over and fell off their horses.

But in general, it was still a loose array, and the Jurchen knights who fought alone fell much more.

Originally, the Liangshan army's intensive charging method swept away the cavalry of the three or four rows of Jurchen knights at once, plus those who were hacked to death by the broken knife later, only two charges, the casualties of the Jurchen cavalry in Zengtou City were four or five hundred, and the Liangshan army together suffered about 100 casualties.

Swap four to one, five to one!

It is said that the Jurchen cavalry in Zengtou City suffered such heavy casualties at once, and if the front row collided with the Liangshan cavalry, they were all swept away, and if they were replaced by an ordinary team, they would have collapsed long ago and fled in all directions desperately.

However, this group of Jurchen cavalry was murderous, and they all had red eyes, and after withstanding two rounds of fierce blows from the Liangshan army, they were still able to organize an effective counterattack.

Seeing the two wings of the Jurchen cavalry formation, the Jurchen knights who were originally going to bend their bows and arrows to shoot the Liangshan army from three directions abandoned their bows and replaced them with spears and sabers, and began to fight with the Liangshan cavalry who fought on both wings with their superb equestrian skills.

The cavalry in the back row of the Jurchen cavalry formation also withstood the rain of arrows from the Liangshan army and began to desperately splash the rain of arrows forward.

On the side of the Liangshan army, the armor of many knights and war horses was suddenly full of feathered arrows like hedgehogs, and many who were unlucky enough to be shot in the face immediately screamed and fell off their horses.

However, seeing that the veterans of Liangshan in the first four battalions fought so well, the recruits of the two battalions who had just surrendered to the Liangshan Army were also full of morale, but they gritted their teeth and kept bending their bows and arrows, shooting one feather arrow after another at the Jurchen cavalry array, exchanging lives for lives, and covering the rain of arrows with the rain of arrows.

And the Jurchen knights in the front rows of the Zengtou City Cavalry Formation were also desperate to gather Shi Wengong at this time;

At the same time, he tried his best to raise the speed of the horses that had been lowered by the previous chaos and collisions with each other, and held a spear and roared to meet the third impact of the Liangshan army.

Listening to the sound of metal colliding and bones shattering that made people's teeth sour and scalp numb, the third round of Liangshan Army's impact was once again like an unstoppable torrent, almost sweeping away the first two rows of knights in the Jurchen cavalry formation.

However, due to early preparations, more and more cavalry fell on the four walls of the Liangshan Army this time, and the casualties reached 20% at once.

Seeing that Shi Wengong's spear was like lightning, he poked three or four holes in the Liangshan cavalry formation at once, and saw that although his side suffered heavy losses, the momentum of the Liangshan army was greatly reduced.

And the Liangshan cavalry that had fought on both wings before was entangled by their own two wings, and they could not assemble again, and once again launched such a wall-like charge as before.

Shi Wengong was overjoyed, and he heard him roar like thunder: "Haha, Liangshan Army's three-plate axe, now it's up to us, everyone rush, give me a meal!" Our reinforcements are coming! ”

In Shi Wengong's mind, even though Liang Shanjun's dense wall-like charging style was very powerful, he was caught off guard by killing his side; Lin Leopard, the master of the Liangshan Army, is also brave in martial arts.

But in the end, it was the newly trained army, and the number of people was far less than its own side, even if it fought quite well, in the end it was still a failure, as long as the two sides were entangled, the Liangshan army had no advantage.

Not to mention, behind him, there was Zeng Rong with 2,000 foot soldiers who were speeding up, and when the time came, the more than 2,000 Liangshan cavalry troops would be wiped out.

Even though the Liangshan army lord "Lin Leopard" is extremely brave, even if there is almost no enemy in front of the horse except himself, he will only flee in embarrassment or fall into a heavy siege and die or be captured alive!

Thinking of this, Shi Wengong couldn't help but admire this Lin Leopard a little, in such a short period of time, he trained such an elite cavalry army, whose combat effectiveness was not inferior to that of the Jurchen cavalry of Zengtou City, and his martial arts were so strong, he was also a talent.

Rao is Shi Wengong has always been extremely tall, and his eyes are long and his head is up, and he has to admit at this time: This "forest leopard" is stronger than himself!

However, when I thought about it, among the 4,000 cavalry in Zengtou City, 500 cavalry were carefully trained with the most effort and effort, and it was unceremonious to say that they were the elite of the elite in Zengtou City!

Not only did the Jurchen cavalry have the riding skills and archery skills, but also the obedience and discipline of the Han people who were trained by themselves, and their ability to act far exceeded that of other ordinary Jurchen cavalry!

At the beginning, Zeng Lang promised himself that if the road to the government was cleared in the future, and he became an officer in the army, these 500 elite cavalry would follow him to the northwest (in order to resist the Western Xia, the Western Army later began to use a large number of Tibetan and Tibetan cavalry attached to the party Xiang Qiang as an army) to join the army!

As a result, in today's battle alone, these 500 elite cavalry were crippled by the two rounds of charge of the Liangshan cavalry, and now it is estimated that there are less than 200 left.

Shi Wengong's heart hurt as if he was ripping his flesh!

As soon as he thought of this, Shi Wengong couldn't wait to kill this gang of Liangshan thieves to dissipate his anger!

At this time, as soon as his words fell, when the morale of the remaining Jurchen cavalry was greatly boosted, and they roared and let out cheers, a loud and high swan sound suddenly came from the front.

Shi Wen Gong was frightened and startled, he raised his head suddenly, and saw the two battalions of Liangshan cavalry in front of him who were desperately bending their bows and arrows to shoot at the cavalry on their side in exchange for their lives, and at this time, they were split into two from the middle and accelerated towards the two wings.

In their unveiled vision, a cavalry wall of two cavalry reappeared, a bright red banner fluttering in the wind, and two rows of fiery red helmets leaping and flying above their heads.

Shi Wengong's gaze continued to go down, and he saw that these knights covered their faces one by one, and the armor on their whole bodies was exactly the same as that of the leopard-headed forest leopard, and even the war horses under their crotch were much taller than the war horses of the Liangshan Army before.

And these war horses are as luxurious as the three horses of Lin Leopard, and they are extremely luxurious and tightly protected by the Qingtang Monkey Armor.

Armored Ride! It turned out to be an armored horseman!

Shi Wengong only felt that his heart was hit heavily, and his mouth was wide open and he couldn't speak!

Straight sissy thief! This group of Liangshan cavalry even has two hundred armored cavalry! And they deliberately lured the enemy into battle before, not to win with light cavalry, but to lure us to the front, and then break the formation with heavy cavalry!

At this time, Lin Chong also took Shan Shiqi and Teng Ji to penetrate the entire military formation of the Zengtou City Army at once, and then immediately turned the horse's head, entered from the rear of the left flank of the Jurchen cavalry array, and killed the front of the Jurchen cavalry formation.

Seeing that they had been hit by this series of heavy blows, this group of Jurchen cavalry did not collapse, and they were still fighting with the cavalry of the Liangshan Army on both wings.

Although the weapons and equipment on his side were far superior to those of the Jurchen cavalry, the captive knife was light and dexterous, and extremely sharp, and from time to time the swords or spears of the Jurchen knights were cut in half by the captive sword.

But the riding skills of these Jurchen cavalry are also too good, as soon as they saw that their weapons were cut in two, they actually escaped the attack of the Liangshan cavalry with very light equestrian skills, and they were able to counterattack.

Human lives were almost consumed in a one-to-one manner, and from time to time a knight of the Liangshan Army screamed and was cut off his horse.

Lin Chong could see that his heart was also dripping blood, his eyes became redder and redder, and the eight snake spears in his palms flew up and down, circling and flying, stabbing one Jurchen knight after another off their horses.

But relying on Lin Chong's three people to fight hard, they couldn't kill these Jurchen cavalry in a short period of time, and at that moment, Lin Chong's heart was crossed, and he was ready to take Shan Shiqi and Teng Ji to charge Shi Wengong.

Got out, was seriously injured in a desperate fight, and used a trick full of pear blossoms in one face, and also stabbed this guy off the horse with a spear, and saw if this group of Jurchen Tartars collapsed.

At this time, the sound of a swan that meant charging at full speed sounded, and Lin Chong's eyes turned around, and he saw that in the southern wilderness, two rows of heavily armored horsemen were more than ten or twenty steps apart, raising their speed to the highest at once, and galloping like two steel city walls.

At that time, the sun had already set in the west, and the sun was reflected obliquely on their armor from behind, as if it was covered with a dazzling halo, and it looked like a god descended from the earth, unstoppable.

Lin Chong couldn't help but be overjoyed, and the Zhangba snake spear pointed at Shi Wengong's banner, and shouted at Shan Shiqi and Teng Ji: "Charge with me and capture Shi Wengong alive!" ”

In addition to Lin Chong and Shi Wengong, the Jurchen military horses and Liangshan cavalry who were fighting hard also heard the sound of the swan, and suddenly a cheer and roar like a tsunami broke out in the Liangshan army.

And those Jurchen cavalry couldn't help but be frightened, and at that moment they also looked at it like Shi Wengong, and saw two rows of heavily armored horsemen and horses, like a god descending to earth, crashing towards them at the fastest speed.

At this time, even the most brave Jurchen knights were in turmoil, frightened, and demoralized.

How many Jurchen knights suddenly turned their eyes to Shi Wengong's banner again, just waiting for him to give orders, whether to fight or retreat to get an idea.

But Shi Wengong stared blankly at everything in front of him, but lost the ability to react for a while.

This is an invincible armored horseman!

How can this be? How can this be?

At this moment, Lin Chong had already rushed towards Shi Wengong with Shan Shiqi and Teng Ji roaring.
