Chapter 470 Pull a whole body

Commanding night battles is probably the most headache for generals in all dynasties, especially in ancient times. Limited by science and technology, communication basically relies on roaring, so Xu Wei hurriedly arranged a counterattack, and he could only be the troops in front to block the front, and the troops in the rear to block the back, and the troops in the middle were useless for a while, so they could only listen and be anxious

Fortunately, the Jin army came with torches, otherwise they would really make a fuss between the enemy and me, and at this time, something happened that Xu Wei did not expect. The crossbowmen in the middle of the block, seeing that they were attacked from the beginning to the end, and they could not help, in a hurry, found that the Jin army was rushing, and its distance should be enough if it was to be shot by the bed crossbow.

The crossbowmen, who were already ready, waited for the torches to light up, and immediately twisted the bowstrings and put an alien arrow into the arrow slot. The reason why it is called alien is because this kind of arrow has no arrows at all. At the front of the four-foot arrow shaft were iron bumps slightly smaller than fists

They didn't wait for the officer's order, and there weren't so many critical moments. The crossbowmen fired the crossbow machine, and the big arrow roared into the air, because the center of gravity of this arrow was all in the front, so once it was in the air, after exhaustion, it fell quickly at a vertical angle

What it feels like to fall a piece of iron weighing a few pounds from mid-air and smash it on your body, the soldiers of the Jin Army will tell you. No, they don't have a chance to speak, and whoever is hit by this alien arrow will never have a chance to speak again

The Jin infantry was rushing towards the rear of the Hu'er army in a frenzy, and almost every one of the large arrows that suddenly fell from mid-air took a human life

When the archers saw this, some of them also raised their bows and shot their arrows into the air. But you use a bow, and the range is comparable to that of a crossbow? Even if the archers close to the Jin Army can shoot at the enemy, the brothers in the future, if you go out with this arrow, you will directly hit the Purple Gold Tiger

"Straight lady thief, who told you to let go of the arrows, stop, all the fucking stop," the Chinese military commander found the danger and howled hoarsely.

On the edge of Luoshui, the firelight reflected the sky red. The two armies of Song and Jin fought fiercely at night, which had never happened since the Song and Jin wars, except for touching the camp. The Jin army originally thought that if it was properly arranged and had an advantage, it would be able to defeat the Hu'er army in one fell swoop. Unexpectedly, he suffered a stubborn counterattack, and the battle situation was frozen for a while. Especially when the torches were lit in the Tiger Army, they found that the opponent's troops were more than they thought

A few miles away, Yang Yan, who had already passed through the lion's mouth, knew about the disaster as soon as the battle broke out. The Jin army really set up an ambush here to allow me to pass through, but it was just a long line to catch big fish, and even the loose scene in the Jin army's camp was deliberately used to show our army, that is, to make us not suspicious, and still have luck in our hearts, and come to this lion's mouth

Now, a conundrum lay ahead of him. Can't look back? A few miles away, he could only hear the sound of killing, and he didn't know what it was like to see the flames rushing into the sky. But in Yang Yan's opinion, this problem is not a problem, even if he will put himself into it when he turns back, he will not hesitate at all, because it is impossible for him to ignore Xu Jiu.

But Yang Yan forgot one thing, when he came over, Xu Wei had an order first. After letting his troops pass, don't advance any further, stay and wait for the rear army, but it didn't let him turn back, if he went back now, not only would it not help, but it would block the exit of the army's escape

Buckled up his pocket, he clenched the curved blade gun in his hand, and shouted: "Brothers, turn back with me and protect the handsome."

As an elite division that continues the "Tiger Victory", the soldiers have incomparable loyalty to the coach. All of them roared, and the soldiers responded in droves

Subsequently, the backbone of the Tiger Army, known as an indestructible and unbreakable heavy step, once again stepped on a step that made the earth tremble

At this critical moment, a figure quickly pounced out, blocking in front of Yang Yan, and said quickly: "Yang Dutong can't go, brothers can't go."

Yang Yan's way was blocked, and a nameless industry fire soared above his head, and he scolded: "It's difficult to get out of the handsome, how can we sit idly by"

"If we don't go, the commander may still come to us and block the exit, how do you call the commander to get out of danger" That person is the commander of the right army.

Yang Yan was only worried about Xu Wei's safety, and he lost his sense of proportion for a while, and it was not unreasonable to listen to what the commander of the right army said at this time. It's just that this thing has made us here indifferent to the danger of the brothers? If the big handsome has a mistake, then how can he get it?

The battle continued, and it became more intense, and the Jin army mustered all its strength, and it was imperative to annihilate the Hu'er army here

On the hill of the lion's mouth, a shadow stood in the night. He straddled his horse and rode alone on the mountain, like a lone wolf, watching its prey.

The light of the fire had dimmed a little, but it was still not difficult to see that this person's eyes were flashing, and he was paying close attention to the situation on the battlefield. This time, he fought directly with Xu Hu'er, and he fought at the right time and place, but he also knew in his heart that Zijin Tiger was indeed a good general. His troops were well trained, and if they were replaced by someone else, in such a dangerous situation, they would be suddenly attacked, but I was afraid that they would have been defeated long ago.

But until now, the Tiger Army is still resisting stubbornly. The Jin army at both ends of the head and tail couldn't even advance a single step.

"I underestimated Xu Hu'er, if I continue to fight like this, I won't be able to tell the winner until dawn." This is the voice of Jermanu

"Indeed, the Hu'er Army is worthy of its name, a tenacious division, and an elite in a hundred battles." Riding up the mountain, he echoed the voice. I am afraid that only at this time will the generals of the Jin Army really praise their opponents, because they know that they have already won the battle.

Ma Wu thought for a moment and made an astonishing decision: "Go, transfer all the infantry archers in the camp, leave five thousand people, and solve this situation as soon as possible." ”

"This is all unified, what if the Western Army in the mountains takes advantage of the situation to break through?" The general asked.

Ma Wu waved his hand: "Yao Pingzhong and Zhang Jun, if they haven't been starved to death at this time, I'm afraid they won't even have the strength to walk." Still want to break through? At this moment, I am afraid that they don't even have the best to survive, but they are just waiting for death. ”

The subordinates took the order and left, Ma Wu looked at it for a while, and sighed in his heart, Xu Wei, Xu Wei, you are still planted in my hands after all. This lion's mouth is your burial place. Don't worry, in order to show respect for you, a famous general of the Southern Dynasty, I will definitely bury you. I know that even if you don't die in battle, you will never surrender to the Jurchens.

In order to ambush Xu Wei, Ma Wu made careful arrangements. In fact, as soon as the Hu'er Army entered the boundary of Dunzhou, the defenders of Dunzhou City had already noticed it, and they reported to Ma Wu at that time.

When he learned that it was indeed Xu Wei who went south, Ma Wu was really shocked. He was stationed at the northern foot of Shima Mountain, and he bore the brunt of the attack, so he immediately ordered the whole army to be on alert, and the Hu'er army could attack at any time

But today, the Hu'er army has entered the range of Shima Mountain, but there is no sign of coming to attack the northern camp of the Jin army. Instead, continue south along Luoshui. Ma Wu had a keen insight that Xu Wei was looking for a good way back for himself. He must have wanted to enter the Fangzhou border and try to rescue him again

Therefore, he immediately ordered the Jin army stationed in the southeast direction of Shimashan to ambush at the lion's mouth. At the same time, the elite of the North Battalion rushed to help in the war. Sure enough, at this lion's mouth, the two armies of Song and Jin collided

does not say that the two armies fought bloodily in the mouth of the lion, but it is said that in the Stone Horse Mountain, the patience of the two western armies has reached the limit. The wounded and sick died from hunger and cold, and seven or eight out of ten died. Even the able-bodied soldiers were dying of hunger. In the past two days, they did not give up their survival, and Yao Pingzhong organized many breakthroughs, but they all ended in failure. As a last resort, he arranged for the civil servants in the army, who were the only sons in the family and had never married under the age of 16, to take the mountain trail to venture out of the siege. Making this move means that he knows very well in his heart that there is only a dead end waiting for their fate. But even in this case, he did not think of surrendering, and his subordinates also followed him unswervingly and preferred to die rather than give in. Although the little captain is "ambitious, brave and unscrupulous", he is also an iron-clad man.

Several rows of marching cauldrons were erected on top of the raging fire, and in the cauldrons, boiling water was gushing and steaming out. The Xihe soldiers have been able to hold out until now, thanks to finding a water source in the mountains yesterday, otherwise, they would have collapsed long ago. It's just a pot of clear water, and there is nothing in it, do they expect to drink some boiled water to satisfy their hunger?

Countless soldiers crowded the valley, and they all stared intently at the flames. At this time, even if you look at the fire, you can feel the warmth and feel that you are still a living person......

Dozens of soldiers carried piles of things to the pot, and then threw them into the pot. Leather armor, leather helmets, leather belts, cowhide boots, horseskins with fur, and even leather with bows and arms were collected.

After the leather was put into the pot, the soldier poured a basket of wild vegetables into it. You know, it takes a long time for leather to be boiled until it can be eaten, and lettuce must be boiled into a paste at this time. But that's exactly what they want. The firelight illuminated countless pairs of greedy eyes, and if they weren't soldiers, I'm afraid they would have swarmed up long ago.

Yao Pingzhong sat down with his back against the rock, and the leather belt of the beast head on his waist was also handed over. Yesterday, when he was hungry, he could still tighten his belt from time to time, and now he ......

There is no way, it can be delayed for a while, and today's meal, if it is distributed to every soldier's mouth, I am afraid that it will taste it. But a bite or two of food can make a person live one more day, and as long as one is alive, there is more or less hope, although the situation now seems so hopeless

"Look at the fire," a voice rang out in the valley.

The little lieutenant jumped up and subconsciously asked, "Where is the fire?" Where did the fire go? ”

There was a commotion among the soldiers, for they did not know where the sound was coming from. After a while, a weak voice replied, "On the mountain, Wangzi." ”

In order to break through the siege and keep abreast of the movements of the Jin army, the Xihe soldiers set up a watchtower on the top of the mountain. Yao Pingzhong didn't know where he got the strength, so he carried a phoenix mouth knife, lit a torch, and strode towards the mountain. When several generals saw it, they followed

On the Shima Mountain, the wild path opened up by the original firewood collectors was narrow and steep, and it was very difficult to walk. Yao Xiyan couldn't care about the hunger in his stomach, he climbed up desperately like crazy, and he didn't know how many times he fell down along the way, and when he reached the top of the mountain, his eyes were black, and he almost fainted to survive in the past.

"Recruit the prime minister, on the edge of the Luo River," Wangzi yelled at him excitedly.

Yao Pingzhong climbed upstairs, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and looked around. More than ten miles away, there is really a firelight at such a distance, can have this kind of brightness, I don't know what happened at the scene?

Several generals climbed up panting like cattle and looked towards the shore of Luoshui. Someone said tentatively: "That's right, it's the Luohe River, why is there a fire on the bank of the Luoshui River in the middle of the night?" ”

"Combat must be combat" Under the cry of the cold wind, these people were shivering from the cold, but the excitement on their faces could not be concealed.

"No matter which friendly army it is, fighting in the territory of Dunzhou, they must be coming at us, they are here to save our army" Yao Pingzhong's tone was a little out of shape with excitement.

The generals were also very excited and shook each other's hands as a sign of encouragement. There is no endless road, I didn't expect that in such a desperate situation, there would be someone to save it

Yao Pingzhong didn't have time to think about who was so righteous that Bo Yuntian came to the rescue, he had to make arrangements immediately, seize this opportunity, and break through in one fell swoop

When he was thinking about it, he heard the general shout: "Xianggong sees that the Jin battalion is deploying troops."

Yao Pingzhong fixed his eyes and saw that not far away, in the camp of the Jin army, the dense troops were all driving outward. Obviously, the fighting on the side of the Luo River was tight, so the Jurchens reinforced again. God help me as soon as the golden soldiers under the mountain leave, the defense must be empty, if you don't leave at this time, when will you wait?

At that moment, without hesitation, he and several generals quickly went down the mountain to convene the middle and senior military leaders to discuss breaking through. As soon as the news broke, the officers were excited. But right away, the problem arises. Now the officers and men of the whole army are so hungry that their eyes are full of gold stars, and they are struggling to walk, how can they fight? The Jin army will transfer troops to participate in the war, and will also leave enough troops to defend the mouth of the valley, how can a group of hungry soldiers who are not even able to hold their weapons very steadily?

Moreover, in this Stone Horse Mountain, there are two Western armies in their early 30,000s, and they are distributed everywhere, and they need to be concentrated, which is time-consuming and laborious, how to coordinate? The Xihe soldiers were stationed at the southern foothills, and Zhang Jun was stationed at the north road, waiting for the troops to be assembled, but I was afraid that the sky would be dawn

Yao Pingzhong's gaze fell on the rows of marching cauldrons, in which the wild vegetables had already been boiled into a paste, and only the leather was still tumbling......
