The death of Scarface Zhou Yong was a signal, and Chao Chong shouted: "Do it!" ”

The ship kept an eye on Chao Chong's thunder and immediately began to move against the forbidden army on the ship. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The shipowner, Chao Wei, had been alerted by the thunderbolts, and when he saw Chao Chong start to move, he shouted to the sailors and armed bankers who were carrying the goods to let them return.

Those sailors and armed bankers followed Chao Wei for many years, passed through many dangerous situations, heard Chao Wei's warning, and did not ask the reason, threw down the box, scattered their legs and ran to the plank road.

Some of the sailors and armed villagers who were still in the fishing village did not have time to withdraw, and were cut down to the ground by a squad of cavalry swarming from the village.

Shi Qian jumped over on the roof and shouted, "Brother Chao, there are a lot of barbarian cavalry. ”

Chao Chong, Li Kui, Ruan Xiaoer, and Ruan Xiaoqi also drew their weapons and waited for battle. I saw a group of cavalry rushing out of the fishing village, these cavalrymen were wearing heavy armor, fox tail hats, a large bow, seven or eight quivers, and scimitars at their waists. They slashed and slashed arrows, and killed more than a dozen people in a moment when they rushed out of the village, and Chao Chong also twitched at the corner of his eye. If the expectation is good, this should be the most powerful cavalry today, the Jurchen Jing Cavalry.

The Jin people have four specialties, "cavalry, perseverance, heavy armor, and bows". However, these "four chiefs" are not separate individuals, but a fused whole, and the center is the "cavalry". In other words, the Jurchen cavalry was accustomed to wearing heavy armor, making good use of bows and arrows, and had a strong sense of perseverance.

The Jurchens were born between the white mountains and black waters, and the harsh living environment cultivated the perseverance of this people.

The heavy armor worn by the Jurchen cavalry was not the iron heavy armor of the Great Song Dynasty, but was made up of multiple layers of leather armor. The Jurchens lack iron, and even lack the skill of iron smelting, it is impossible to waste so much iron to make armor, and even the arrows are mostly bone, which shows that the iron deficiency is serious. But the Jurchens never lacked leather goods, especially the wild boar skins that were tanned and superimposed on five layers of armor, and the strong bow was difficult to penetrate within fifty steps.

There are few Jurchens, so special attention is paid to protection, plus the weather is cold, and the heavy clothes are relatively warm.

Jurchen bows and arrows, the bow is generally a seven-bucket bow, Xie Cheng is only about seventy steps, and it belongs to the category of soft bows. The arrows are thick bone arrows, and the generals use iron arrows.

The Jurchen cavalry rode Xie under the condition of wearing heavy armor, and it was precisely because of the restrictions of heavy armor that the Jurchen cavalry "did not take fifty steps, and the bow strength was no more than seven buckets", Xie Cheng was probably several times shorter than Xie Cheng of the later Mongolian light cavalry. Therefore, the Jurchen cavalry did not have the same high mobility as the Mongol light cavalry, and could retreat while thanking and harassing them. Therefore, most of their tactics are to trap and ride in battle.

The Jurchen Jing rode like a bulldozer, the speed was not fast, but the arrows rained down, and those who could not escape were killed on the spot.

Shi Qian ran behind Chao Chong and the others in embarrassment, relying on his own flexible dodge, so he was not thanked, his kung fu is really not good at this kind of flat field battle. Chao Chong asked Shi Qian to escort Uncle Quan back to the ship. And he led Li Kui, Ruan Xiaoer, and Ruan Xiaoqi to stop these Jurchen Jing horses and buy time for the others to retreat.

Seeing the strength of these Jurchen cavalry Xie Shu, Chao Chong did not dare to rush up with the three of them as targets, he and Ruan Xiaoer in a group, Li Kui and Ruan Xiaoqi in a group, rushed into the fishing village, used the house to cover the approaching cavalry, and killed them in close quarters.

There was chaos on the docks of the fishing villages, and merchant ships were also fighting in the heat. From the calm handling of goods to the desperate struggle, this sudden change has caused many people to die on the spot before they can react.

Fortunately, Chao Chong found the clue and made preparations, so that it was not completely suppressed. If Scarface Zhou Yong had delayed the time and succeeded at that time, the Chao family's caravan would have been completely annihilated. This is the rivers and lakes, you never know which will come first, tomorrow or danger.

Kuru was a centurion of the Jurchen Wanyan tribe, a nobleman of Mok, with three hundred and twenty households. This time, he took a hundred cavalry in the territory to follow the commander Wan Yan Xiyin to pick up the goods.

Now the lord of the country is preparing for war with the Liao State, but he can only follow the commander here to fight, there is no war exploits and prisoners, without the booty and prisoners, his own Mouke can not be expanded, Mouke can not be expanded, and more soldiers cannot be recruited. When everyone is expanding themselves, they are unlucky to transport some bullshit goods, and they are angry when they think about it.

Changshengtian may have heard his complaints, so he gave him benefits, and he received the goods calmly, but there was an accident, and when he heard that the goods were iron weapons, his whole eyes were red.

The Jurchen iron-smelting technology is too poor, and there has always been a shortage of iron. The main way for the Jurchen cavalry to fight was to rush into the enemy formation and kill the enemy with arrows, rather than slashing with swords, because there were too few knives, and it was difficult to equip ordinary cavalry. The Jurchen soldiers all brought their own horses and weapons, and many poor cavalrymen, in addition to bows and arrows, used a wooden stick, tied with stones, made into a mace, and used as a heavy weapon.

Last year, under the leadership of the lord of the country, there were three battles with the Liao State, three battles and three victories, and the cavalry captured some booty, so that the iron weapons in the army gradually increased.

However, weapons will always wear out and be damaged, and the quality of iron products in Liao is average.

If you have weapons, you can organize soldiers. Jurchen men from fifteen to sixty years old were warriors as long as they took up their weapons.

Kuru was ordered by the commander of a thousand to assist the shippers of the Great Song Dynasty in killing the Song people on the merchant ships, which was his favorite. The three hundred-man team brought by the commander this time, Kuru felt that he could fight for this job, and he felt very face-saving.

Kuru led the hundred-man team out of the fishing village, and saw that the scene was chaotic, and those Song people were fleeing to the boat after leaving their goods, Kuru sneered and shouted, just like a usual hunt, and drove his horse forward.

In order to show his bravery, Kuru always runs in front of his subordinates, and his subordinates also know his personality, and no one dares to steal the limelight from him.

As his horses galloped forward, Kuru drew his bow and arrows, and with one arrow, he killed one of the sailors, and his cavalry applauded behind. When the horse gallops, the arrow Xie Xie is not only far away, the speed is fast, and the arc of Xie Xie is small, and the trajectory of the feather arrow flight is very straight, so the accuracy is relatively high, which is called Fei Xie!

Flying Xie is the way to deal with the enemy in front of you.

Kuru's horse galloped into the crowd of fleeing sailors, and at the moment of galloping, Kuru killed one of the sailors on the left side of his body with another arrow. This is called Ben Xie.

Ben Shee is the way to deal with enemies on the left. Attacking the enemy in a galloping is very important to have the amount of advance and the timing of the attack, even the old hunters sometimes miss, but Kuru is clearly not among them.

Two arrows killed two people in a row, Kuru was triumphant, in his opinion, these Song people who were running in a panic were no different from the prey being chased.

At this moment, a man suddenly rushed out of the dilapidated houses of the fishing village, holding a seven-foot long knife in both hands, and slashed at his horse's leg with a short body.

Kuru is also a battle-hardened battle, and he pulls the reins violently, and the war horse has its own spirituality, and its hind legs are forced, and it jumps into the air, and after jumping over the person who cut off the horse's legs, the horse's angry hind legs fly up, and the horse's hooves kick at the man.

The man who cut off the horse's leg saw that the blow was missed, and hurriedly rolled over, avoiding the horse's hooves.

Enraged, Kuru leaned back and snapped an arrow. This kind of looking back arrow is often a trick of Jing Zhan riders, and it is unexpected!

It was Chao Chong who failed to cut the horse's legs, he just dodged the horse's hooves, his body was not stable, and he saw an arrow coming, fast and accurate, Chao Chong couldn't dodge, and was in the middle of the Hun mouth.

Fortunately, this is Chao Chong, with a golden finger, as long as he is not killed by a single blow, he will not die easily, and the recovery speed of a little bit per second, even if he is seriously injured and dies frequently, he can heal in five minutes.

Kuru was rejoicing in his arrow, when he heard a thunderous roar in his ears, and he and his horse were like being hit by a boulder, and fell to the ground with a bang.

The angry Li Kui rushed out like a bison and knocked down the careless Kuru, and before he could stand up, he slashed over with an axe, and Kuru hurriedly dodged, but the fallen war horse couldn't dodge, and was slashed in the neck by an axe, and the moss rushed out. Li Kui's other axe came out of his hand and slashed at Kuru's back. Kuru's heavy armor made of five layers of wild boar skin saved his life, but he was also smashed into a mossy dish, and he fell to the ground after running a few steps.

Li Kui was about to step forward and kill Kulu, and those cavalrymen who were a few steps behind Kulu saw that a hundred people were seriously injured, how dare they slack off, and the arrows thanked Li Kui's vital point. forced Li Kui to use the big axe face as a shield to cover his figure, and he was hit in the shoulder by Xie in this way.

Ruan Xiaoer and Ruan Xiaoqi saw that Chao Chong was hit by an arrow in his mouth and Li Kui was hit by an arrow in his shoulder, so they didn't care about sneaking up on the flank as planned, so they rushed out with a door panel and saved Li Kui and Chao Chong first.

The cavalry who were anxious to come to Kuru's aid hurrah ran over, and nearly a hundred war horses rushed away, surging like a wall, and if a few of them were hit head-on, it would be more than lucky.

Chao Chong saw that the situation was not good, and he had to buy time for Li Kui and them, pulled out his Hun arrow, and threw it at the incoming cavalry with a few taels of minced meat, and one of them was facing the door.

Chao Chong faced the cavalry head-on, waving his long knives in both hands like a whirlwind, and shouted: "Long Tao! One, two, three...... Seven chops, eight chops, nine chops, nine chops! ”

A whirlwind passed, and Chao Chong's frontal cavalry was like a large hole dug in the wall with a three-zhang square circle, and a piece of human and horse meat was vacated.

Although Chao Chong was encircled by the cavalry, the speed of the cavalry also slowed down, buying time for Li Kui, Ruan Xiaoer, and Ruan Xiaoqi.

Ruan Xiaoer covered Li Kui with the door panel and pulled out the arrow on his shoulder for him.

Ruan Xiaoqi made a flexible swoop, rushed to Kuru's side, and pierced the head of Kuru who fell to the ground with a stab of the dragon king in his hand.

Ruan Xiaoqi picked up the big axe that smashed on Kulu's back and threw it to Li Kui, saying, "Hand-to-hand combat, grandfathers are not afraid of them!" ”

Li Kui, who had thick skin and thick flesh, got a double axe, and he didn't care about the arrow wound on his shoulder, he roared like thunder, rushed to the horses, cut off the horse's legs with a short body, and split his head with a long body, and became more and more brave the more he fought.

Ruan Xiaoer has great strength, holding the door panel in one hand and a long knife in the other, the door panel blocks the cavalry's knife slashing and arrows, and the long knife pulls the cold and pulls the person off the horse.

Ruan Xiaoqi entered the jungle like a wild monkey, scurrying under the belly of a horse, and the short dragon king thorn was extremely flexible in the crowded chaos.

According to the Jurchen law, if the Lord is about to die in battle, the cronies need to bear the sin of poor protection and be buried with death. When those cavalrymen saw Kuru being pierced through the head, they all burst into anger, and nearly a hundred people surrounded Chao Chong and the four of them, vowing to trample them into flesh.

Chao Chong's four people blocked it, and those sailors and armed bankers won life. Without the deadly rain of arrows from behind, more than 50 people managed to escape back to the merchant ship.

There were originally masters such as Thunder, Dongfang Xiao, Wu Song, Shen Tu Lie, Chao Yang, and Ruan Xiaowu on the merchant ship, and the more than 20 forbidden troops who returned to the ship in advance and wanted to seize the ship could not turn over their tricks at all, and as the more than 50 sailors and armed Zhuang Ke fled back, the forbidden army who planned to seize the ship was all killed.

Shi Qian also escorted Uncle Quan back to the ship.

With the manpower, the ship's owner, Chao Wei, immediately put the sailors into position, pulled up the iron anchor, raised the sails, and was about to leave the port.

Thunder rushed over, grabbed Chao Weihun by the placket of his coat, knocked him to the ground, and scolded: "Bastard thing! My eldest brother hasn't gotten on the boat yet, so I see which of you dares to escape!" ”

Dongfang Xiao, Wu Song, Shen Tulie, Chao Yang, Chao Sheng, and Ruan Xiaowu all aimed their weapons at the sailors who wanted to open the ship.

Chao Wei said in a deep voice: "The big ship is too close to the shore, and the other party has a large number of people, once they are allowed to board the boat from the plank road of the dock, none of us can go!" Don't forget, the young master is also my master! He is buying time for everyone with his life, even if the boat is a stone's throw away from the shore, these barbarians will no longer be able to help us! Time is pressing, and if you delay one point, you will let the young master leave one more point! Don't you understand? ”

Thunder was stunned when asked, the truth seemed to be this truth, but he couldn't accept it.

Uncle Quan also hurriedly came over and persuaded: "Chao Wei is the owner of the ship for many years, and he is a person that the Chao family can definitely trust. Thunder, trust his judgment! ”

What to do? Should you risk being boarded by the enemy and let the boat stay on the shore and wait for the big brother to return, or should you leave the boat for a certain distance like a betrayal?

Now that Chao Chong is not here, he is the person with the most say in Chao Chong's guards, Dongfang Xiao, Wu Song, Shen Tulie, Chao Yang, Chao Sheng, Ruan Xiaowu, Shi Qian and others are all looking at him and letting him decide.

Thunder was in crisis, thinking of what his eldest brother said at the time, "I am your big tree, as long as I am in one day, I can shelter you from the wind and rain." But look at this vast world! One day, we will gallop in this vast world! One day, you will leave my shelter and be on your own! I don't think you lost your life because of your own carelessness and anger! In this world, we want to break together, and we want to enjoy this blessing together! ”

For the first time, Thunder felt that when he left the protection of his eldest brother and needed to take charge of himself, it was difficult to choose those decisions that were related to everyone's life and death!

But the thunder has no time to delay, the big brother is blocking the enemy, to decide, you must be fast! Thunder glanced at everyone, gritted his teeth and said, "The boat is gone, but I'll stay!" If you want to come with me, get off the boat! ”

After speaking, Lei Ting took his weapon and jumped off the merchant ship, and then Chao Sheng, Dongfang Xiao, Wu Song, Shen Tulie, Ruan Xiaowu, and Shi Qian also jumped down without hesitation. Thunder was happy in his heart, and this sense of trust in life and death was really good.

Suddenly, he looked up and saw Chao Yang, who was still on the boat, and said in surprise: "Chao Yang, what are you doing here?" ”

Chao Yang shook his spear and said, "If I stay, the ship won't shoot a stone!" ”

Chao Wei looked at Chao Yang with some surprise, and Chao Yang also looked at him mercilessly and said: "I don't trust you, if the ship shoots an arrow away, you will die!" ”

Chao Yang had other words that he hadn't said, and he didn't believe in anyone other than Thunder and Chao Sheng, so when Thunder and Chao Sheng went to fight, he had to stay and defend the retreat for Chao Chong and Thunder.

Thunder laughed and said, "Okay, it's better for the third child to be thoughtful." After speaking, he took Dongfang Xiao and them to support Chao Chong.

Wanyan Xiyin, the commander of the thousand commanders, is in a terrible mood now, he is a descendant of the Wanyan department, and this time he was sent to trade ordnance with the people of the Great Song Dynasty, with three thousand steel knives, two thousand spears, and one hundred sets of iron armor. If this deal can be successful, it can equip another 5,000 soldiers.

You must know that although Daikin was founded today, due to the limitations of weapons and equipment, there are only more than 9,000 standing soldiers.

It is rumored in Liao that the Jurchens are less than 10,000 and invincible.

In addition to showing that the Jurchen cavalry is unparalleled, it also shows that the Jurchen cavalry is really not enough.

The lord of the country takes this deal very seriously, because it is a breakthrough to break the current predicament of Daikin. If the transaction can be carried out for a long time, it will definitely contribute to the growth of Daikin's strength. Presiding over this transaction by himself, the credit will naturally not be less.

But who told themselves how the situation had gotten the way it was?

The Song people caused infighting themselves, and asking the Jurchen cavalry to help kill those crew members should have been a very easy task, but Kuru, a fool, lost his life because of the light enemy, and the hundred-man team under his command stupidly only cared about besieging the four people, but ignored the merchant ships.

What's even more infuriating is that after besieging those four people for so long, they haven't been killed. And the merchant ship was obviously going to hoist its sails and sail away. There were still half of the weapons on the ship, how could they be allowed to go away so easily?

Wanyan Xiyin came this time with three hundred-man teams, the hundred-man leaders were Kulu, Ximugai, and Hachi, these three hundred-man teams have been fighting three battles a year ago, and their combat power is strong, even if they encounter thousands of Liao soldiers, they can win the battle.

Kuru is dead, and his chiefs are too busy to avenge him.

Wanyan Xiyin sent Ximu to lead a team of 100 people to rush straight to the merchant ship to prevent the Song people from leaving.

Nishiki Gai is a thin, middle-aged man with long hands and a knack for using a hard bow. He's not as aggressive as Kuru, and he's ahead of everything. This is also the reason why Wanyan Xiyin sent Ximu to fight.

Kuru's mistake was enough to make once, and he didn't want to lose another hundred-man leader.

Before they could get out of the plank road, they encountered Ximugai's hundred-man team. The hundred-man team began to greet arrows fifty paces away, and after three successive waves, when they came closer, they dismounted one after another and began to fight on foot, with the obvious intention of boarding the merchant ship.

Thunder: They were slightly injured under the rain of arrows from the Jurchen cavalry, and almost everyone was hit by an arrow. But these Jurchens dismount and fight, they are not afraid of thunder, the plank road stretches into the sea for more than 30 meters, as long as the plank road is guarded, they can block the enemy from boarding the ship, although the thunder they want to meet Chao Chong as soon as possible, but in the face of the new Jurchen hundreds, they can only choose to defend and fight.

The thunder was brave and fierce, and the long knife swept like the snow in the early morning, and when he found that the enemy's leather armor was too thick to cut through, he used a neck trowel knife to greet them by the neck.

The Dongfang Howling Force is infinite, and a tiger-tailed iron square beam is extremely heavy, and it will die if it touches it, and it will be injured next to it.

Ruan Xiaowu's iron oars are also heavy weapons, and those heavy armors can't stop them at all, and they are slapped one by one.

Wu Song and Shen Tulie are both double swords, dexterously flying, and the heads of the golden people are constantly being cut off.

Shi Qian did not rush to the front, but hid behind a few people, and the flying knife in his hand was thrown out from time to time, hitting his throat.

Chao Sheng also hid behind, bowed quickly, and kept pointing at Xie Jinbing.

Stopped by the thunderbolts, the merchant ship finally pulled up its anchor, hoisted its sails, and began to slowly sail away from the harbor.
