Chapter 101: Head-to-head combat

"General, I want to see the general." Gao Shide was leading the army forward, and suddenly there was a warning order from the front, but he heard an extremely familiar voice crying to see him.

"Who's making a fuss?" Gao Shide pressed the sword with his left hand and hung the horse with his right hand, looking majestic and a bit of the demeanor of a coach.

"General, it's me Song Jiang!" It turned out that he was on the march and encountered Fang Baihua's army head-on. As the saying goes, when the narrow road meets, the brave wins, and the number of the army led by Fang Baihua is several times that of Song Jiang's side. In addition, Song Jiang's side are all newly recruited recruits and the original captives before, so the rabble faces an enemy several times their own, where can they still think about fighting. Before this could be handed over, someone turned around and ran.

If there is one, there are two, and if there are two, there are three. The army was defeated like a mountain, and Song Jiang saw that the general trend had gone, and under the protection of many henchmen, he fought his way out of the encirclement.

But in this way, it was to compensate many heroes on Liangshan.

Even the dog-headed military master Wu Yong did not escape his fate, and now Song Jiang is not as tough as he used to be. After all, now I don't have any soldiers on hand, and I have no confidence indirectly.

If it had been before, it would have been a big deal that their brothers would have gone out as officers and soldiers, and would have gone back to Liangshan to continue to be their king of the mountain. But now the situation is not good, the general of the defeated army, if he is not directly clicked by Gao Shide on a charge, then there is nothing to say.

"Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and Song Xianfeng does not need to be sad. Birth, old age, sickness and death, that is also human nature. But if someone kills our brothers, this revenge must be avenged. At this time, I will transfer Lu Junyi and the 5,000 men and horses he led to you. This is Liangshan's last old foundation, all of it will be handed over to you, don't let me down! This remark flattered Song Jiang, you must know that in the Song Dynasty, especially in the Northern Song Dynasty. After the generals came back from defeat, there was absolutely no good end. Now Gao Shide has not held Song Jiang accountable at all, but has once again asked him to give him a heavy responsibility. This favor made Song Jiang grateful to Dade.

In fact, this is not to say that Gao Shide is very good, but that there is no one in Gao Shide's hands now. Lu Junyi, a typical stupid big man, originally wanted to train him to be a general who could stand alone. It's a pity that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, this old boy is not even good at training soldiers in addition to practicing martial arts on weekdays. What is the use of keeping such people? It's better to throw it back to Song Jiang and sell him one, not begging him to die, but at least it can be called a scene.

Comparing yourself is also playing the effect of surprise, which can barely be regarded as self-preservation. But when it comes to hard work, you definitely have to rely on these people to fight hard. It is important for him to protect himself, but Gao Shide has his own plans.

This is unfavorable, but Gao Shide does not dare to move forward rashly. After all, Song Jiang came back and reported that the enemy army on the other side was no less than 50,000 horses, but with the combat effectiveness of Song Jiang's side, they could be defeated so completely, and it was estimated that there were still 30,000 or 40,000 enemies. So Gao Shide ordered to camp on the spot, he wanted to see who could clean up Song Jiang's group of bandits.

Fang Baihua learned that Commander Gao Shide was here, and he also gave an order to stay put. It seems that they are preparing for a halfway ambush, and the two sides are less than ten miles away from each other. But it was a very tacit understanding to rest in place, and no one took the initiative to attack first.

Such a strange scene is strange, and at the same time, both sides send a large number of scouts to spy on each other's reality. It turned out that the forces of the two sides were evenly matched, which made the two sides more cautious in their operations.

And Pang Wanchun received the news that Fang Baihua and Gao Shide were fighting, and immediately ordered 20,000 horses to set off.

It's no wonder that Pang Wanchun is so excited, who is Fang Baihua, Pang Wanchun's intended person. But now it's because of love and hate, but no matter what, my heart is still worried.

As for Gao Shide, Pang Wanchun hated him to the core. Thinking of the battle of Pingjiang City in the past, it was Pang Wanchun's most aggrieved time. You must know that Pang Wanchun has been invincible all these years, and he has the title of the little god of war in Fang La's army. However, because of that battle, Fang La's side was forced to change its form, from taking the initiative to attacking to being forced to defend, which can be said to be a complete strategic mistake.

Now is the right time to take this opportunity to take revenge on Xue Shi, Pang Wanchun doesn't want to let it go so easily.

Gao Shide is still Song Jiang as the pioneer this time, Lu Junyi is on the side to assist, and there is a group of strong fighters like Yan Qingchai Jin. The people who came in were all veterans who had experienced a hundred battles, but this time Gao Shide was ready to win this battle with blood.

There were more than 30,000 people in the army, and 10,000 of them were archers, carrying shoelaces to fight knives. 10,000 pikemen, 5,000 swordsmen and shields. The rest are Gao Shide's henchmen and guards.

Overall, it was a group of infantry, but fortunately, the situation on the other side was not much better than that of Gao Shide's side. They are also infantry armed with all kinds of blades, so compared to the deployment of troops, it is Gao Shide's side that has a better chance of winning.

However, the other party has reinforcements, but Gao Shide's side does not. It is also sad to say that the huge Northern Song Dynasty actually had no reinforcements. In the absence of military orders, the local commanders never sent troops on their own. That is, guarding the one-third of an acre of land in his own area, which also led to being broken by Fang La's side.

"Kill." With a shout, the momentum of the soldiers on Gao Shide's side came up in an instant.

The two armies were less than 500 meters apart, and Gao Shide ordered to lay out a quadrangle to lure the other side to attack with a defensive posture.

Seeing this, Fang Baihua ordered the soldiers to gather and form an arrow array to rush directly towards Gao Shide's side.

These four phalanxes are the specialty of the one-eyed dragon. On the outermost are sword and shield soldiers, behind are pikemen ready to attack, and at the bottom are archers with bows and arrows.

Stand by on all sides, no matter what direction the other party is coming from, you can deal with it. It is said to be simplified from the gossip array of Zhuge Wuhou.

And Fang Baihua is from an intelligence background, and his style has always been a killer, and he pays attention to killing with one hit. No matter what the formation is, I will concentrate my forces, kill from one point, break the face with a point, and go straight to the handsome flag.

This is a simple and effective method, although the losses can sometimes be large, but it is not unstoppable.

"Shoot the arrows." The one-eyed dragon gave an order, and Gao Shide's war drums beat. The archers who were originally prepared were divided into three groups and shot a three-stage rain of arrows.

The men and horses on Fang Baihua's side went head-on, and because the speed of the charge was very fast, the people and horses who rushed out in front were not hit by the rain of arrows, but the middle part suffered. As the so-called sword has no eyes, there are countless casualties. This is the brutality of war.
