The defenders of Xiaoliushan spied on the astonishing news that a small mile away from their farm, a golden army was crossing the river. According to the scouts, it was full of soldiers and horses, and it was impossible to count. In charge of commanding here is a commander of the Huanqing Army under Yao Pingzhong, that is, a commander (battalion) level officer. As soon as he heard that the Jin army was powerful, he ordered to abandon the camp and retreat immediately. The morale of the soldiers of the Huanqing Army fell to the bottom since they were captured and Murong Xiao defected. We've all become babies without fathers and mothers, and we still fight a bird's war? Danzhou loves to lose it, it's my business!

In this way, 800 officers and soldiers gave up the danger. All of them were evacuated to Danzhou. It is also in line with this command that he was unlucky, and he was walking in the middle of the road and bumped into Yang Zaixing, who came to patrol. After hearing this, without saying a word, a shot stabbed him through the cold. Drink ordered the soldiers to turn around, hold the danger of the two mountains of python head and phoenix wings, and report to Yao Pingzhong in Danzhou City.

After Yang Zaixing arrived at the Python Mountain camp. Scouts were sent to reconnoiter again, but the cash army only had dozens of small boats, and the crossing of the river was extremely slow, and there was even an accident in which the northerners were unfamiliar with the water and capsized. Upon learning of this situation, he ordered the 800 soldiers stationed at Python Mountain to immediately set up obstacles. On the high ground between it and Fengyin Mountain, erect antlers to block horses and block the passage. He also sent a hundred archers to the left and right sides of the hill to set up an ambush, ready to meet the invading enemy.

That night, when he found that even half of the Jin army had not been able to cross, this fierce general personally took dozens of people, all of whom put on armor, smeared their faces, and took advantage of the night to cross the Python Mountain and sneak attack the Jin army that had not yet gained a firm foothold. When they arrived, they were really shocked by the Jurchens, caught them off guard, and immediately retreated after killing and wounding more than 100 people. Han Chang didn't know the reality of the other party, and he wasn't familiar with the terrain, so he didn't dare to chase after him. He was ordered to camp on the spot and hold on, and wait for the dawn to make a plan. At this time. The Jin army has revealed its whereabouts. Han Chang didn't dare to be careless, and ordered his subordinates on the other side to cross the river overnight.

It's hard during the day, let alone at night? After the whole army crossed the Yellow River in Tianming. More than two people capsized in the river and drowned.

On the morning of the next day, Han Chang sent people to inspect the terrain and learned that the Song army had set up defenses between the two mountains about forty miles away. And the pass that the other party is stuck at is a slightly easier way to go to Danzhou. In other places, you can only drill in the mountains and ravines.

The sun is three poles, and it is another good day with clear skies. Surrounded by green mountains, more than 800 soldiers of the Western Army were waiting for them. The preliminary armament had been completed, and the soldiers in armor and swords stood behind a line of antlers to resist horses, and on the hills on either side, four hundred archers had been laid down, using trees and rocks as barriers. Vigilantly looking at the passage between the two mountains.

Yang Zaixing glanced up at the sky. See that there is not a single cloud. Pulling his neckline, wiping his sweat profusely, he thought to himself why didn't the gold thief come?

A man in his twenties beside him suddenly pointed his head and shouted.

Yang Zaixing looked in the direction of his finger, and saw that about two or three hundred steps away, at the corner of the passage between the two mountains, the figure of Jin Jun appeared. He took the helmet from the hands of the soldier beside him and put it on the top, and said loudly: "Yao Fengzhi will arrive at noon at the latest." We must fight to the death, and those who dare to retreat will die." Although the soldiers of Huanqing did not know his prestige. But when he saw that he had stabbed the commander to death as soon as he saw him, he was frightened, and he gathered up his spirits and prepared to meet the enemy.

On the other hand, the Jin army gathered more and more, and they all looked around to check the terrain. Han Chang walked over, and after squeezing out the crowd, he looked left and right. The brows are about to twist into a ball. This kind of terrain is the most headache, and it is just that the Ma army can't charge, how can the position of the Song army still be condescending? Such a vain slope, if you bury your head and rush up. The Song army's bow and crossbow were not vegetarian. Seeing that the other party has already pulled up an obstacle at the commanding height, there is nothing cheap to pick up in this battle. And the mountains on both sides are also an excellent place to set up ambushes, in other words, I will also set up archers on both sides, damn, there is no other way than to rush hard.

"You, lead a thousand troops in your headquarters and concentrate the shields of the whole army. Rush up! and the Song army to wrench together". Han Chang pointed to an officer beside him and shouted.

"Yes". The commander answered, then turned around, snatched a shield from the soldier's hand, drew the steel knife at his waist, and called out to his men. The establishment of this golden army is usually based on the phrase "Meng'an Mouke." To score, Meng'an is a team of 1,000 people, and Moke is a team of 100 people. But they were usually not satisfied, and seven or eight hundred people were killed in one fierce an.

Han Changjun ordered, and a thousand-man squad gathered at the front of the whole army, after the commander of the thousand troops had finished mobilizing. The horn sounded. Seven or eight hundred Liaodong Han troops roared and rushed towards the Song army. They followed Muhan to the south this time, and they did not experience the battle of Dingrong some time ago, and the ignorant were fearless. didn't take Song Jun in his eyes at all. The commander even thought that only a few hundred soldiers under his command would be enough to break through the Song army's defensive line.

Hundreds of golden soldiers the guys, followed the commander of the thousand and marched forward bravely, all of them scrambling, running straight to the ears full of whirring wind! "Archer!" Yang Zaixing's expression was grim and he raised his right hand. Behind him, more than a hundred archers crossed the spearmen, lined up in a horizontal line, and wound their arrows. They rounded their bow arms and searched for their targets.

The enemy swarmed and rushed up the slope. You can even see each other's faces clearly! Yang Zaixing was unmoved. waited until the opponent was only 100 steps away from the defense line before he yelled "Release the arrow!" "The arrows burst through the air and roared at the enemy! The archers did not hesitate in the slightest, and immediately after the first arrow was released, they mounted the second one, repeating the previous action again!

The commander of the Jin army who rushed to the forefront. was shot in the left arm by an arrow, and he didn't stop. Break the shaft of the arrow. Hold the shield and keep rushing! At this moment, the archers of the Song army who were ambushed in the mountains and forests on both sides began to might! Arrows continue to shoot into the crowd, and there are many people who fall in response!

Thirty steps! Yang Zaixing changed the iron gun in his hand to the side. Hold on to your hands!

Twenty steps! The archers are making their last shots! Spearmen and swordsmen are ready to move forward!

Ten steps! The archer immediately retreated after releasing the arrow, and Yang Zaixing shouted: "Up! The words did not fall. He raised his iron spear, and after he reached a rejecting horse, he stretched out the iron spear. The infantrymen, who were close to 400 men, lined up in close formation, and stretched their weapons out of the gap between the antlers and the horses. Form a forest of sharp steel!

Almost at the same time as they finished the action. The Jin army crashed into it like a wall! When you charge, you can't stop, and you don't dare to stop. Even if you see rows of knives and guns in front of you, you have to hit them up! Those who have shields are better, but the most bitter are those soldiers who use their flesh and blood to fight knives and guns. Obviously saw a gap, who knew that Fang February's companion was crowded, and directly hit the tip of the gun, stabbing his chest and back! The commander of the Jin army saw the fighter plane and shouted loudly: "Push! ”

Hundreds of people worked at the same time, squeezing the corpses of their companions in front of them and pushing forward desperately! Between the soldiers of the two armies. Just less than three feet away, the breath of the other party can be felt on your face! A rejection horse was overturned, and the Jin soldiers pushed people forward, causing the line of defense to suddenly go backwards.

"Hold on!" Someone was screaming in a hurry. The retreating archers did not stop shooting, and because of the high position, they were still able to fire their arrows at great distance. But at this time, the defense line was loosened. Then some of the archers took away their bows and arrows, rushed up in a swarm, put their shoulders against the backs of their comrades in front of them, and pushed forward with all their strength! Several soldiers of the Song and Jin armies were squeezed by their respective companions and were so close to the enemy's face that they couldn't move! That Song Bing was ruthless, opened his mouth suddenly, and bit the other party's nose!

"You! Get down! Top me up! The soldier who said this was a slender man with a knife in his hand. shouted to the fat comrade beside him. The other party was stunned, then didn't say a word, lay on the ground, and the slender soldier stood up, condescending. Raise your knife and sweep past.

A terrible scream sounded, and I saw blood splashing! If this knife goes down, at least three people will be abolished! The slender soldier was addicted to slashing, the knife in his hand flew up and down, and his mouth was still howling: "Let you rush!" His method was quickly promoted, and many soldiers stepped on the backs of their companions to occupy high places, and all the guys in their hands beckoned to the golden soldiers who were blocked together.

There was a soldier estimated to be only thirteen or fourteen years old, and he was put on the shoulder by a man with a full beard, and he grabbed the pole and spear and stabbed him desperately, one by one! It's time to kill. I don't know where a spear stabbed out from below, pierced him in the abdomen, and was picked up again, and his thin body flew straight out and fell into the crowd of Jin Jun......

The shouts of killing resounded through the mountains and forests, and this original barren cannon became the key point of desperate competition between Song and Jin!

Han Chang stared at the battlefield not far away, seeing that his troops were being attacked on three sides, and knew that this wave of attacks would be difficult to take. But he did not give the order to retreat, but summoned the officers to counsel.

"You see, the Song army set up obstacles on the front, and there were archers in the mountains and forests on both sides. Rely on the superiority to block our army. To take this place, you must first defeat the archers on the opponent's mountain. Send two people to search for you on the mountain, and you, ready to attack. "Han Chang looks five big and three thick, looking like a butcher who kills pigs and sells meat, but he didn't expect that he is a veteran of war.

Although he saw that the thousand-man team that attacked in the first wave could not attack, if he did not retreat. Only to be consumed. But he didn't blink his eyes, just let it be consumed, I will never give Song Jun a chance to regroup!

The two mountains are not high, and they belong to the small hills that are common in hilly areas. The soldiers of the two Moukes, led by the officer, quickly climbed up the mountain. There are very few people in this place, and at most the hunters occasionally go up to the mountains to hunt wild boars and tigers. Therefore, there is no road, so I can only pull the trees and grass to climb up.

This made the Jin army, who was accustomed to charging on the plains, very unaccustomed to it, and on the one hand, they had to climb the mountain hard, and on the other hand, they had to turn their eyes everywhere to search for traces of the archers of the Song army. Suddenly, a soldier shouted, "That! When they looked out, they saw a group of archers sitting on the ground, suspiciously leaning against the trunk of a tree, or riding on the ground with their legs outstretched. I'm riveting my arrows into the valley below! The centurion turned around and made a gesture to signal everyone to be silent, shrunk back, took a knife in one hand and grasped a tree in the other, and quietly touched it. Hundreds of people didn't dare to gasp, and the cat bent on their waists. Try to keep yourself from making any noise, and keep your eyes fixed on the archers not far away. Like a ghost deceiving himself.

The Huanqing archers may have never killed so happily, and there are piles of live targets waiting for them to shoot below, how can they think of looking to the side?

It also happened that an archer may have been so excited that he tore a black lacquer bow in two. The comrades around me saw it. Then he said, "Give me the arrow!" As he said, he took off the quiver from his body. Turn around and pass it over.

The moment he turned his head. Suddenly, the whole person was stunned. Just a few dozen paces away, a group of golden soldiers were bowed and carrying knives! Interestingly. Hundreds of Jin soldiers were stared at by him, and they all stopped! There may be some people who subconsciously think, it's broken, it's been shown by you!

But only between the lightning and the flint, the archer shouted: "The golden dog touches the mountain!" At the same time as he shouted, hundreds of golden soldiers suddenly strengthened, straightened up and rushed over.

The unprepared archers were stunned. The quick reaction, charged the bow and arrows, pulled out the knife from his waist and prepared to do it! The one who reacted slower actually turned the arrow and shot it over. I don't want to think about it, this is a mountain, how many trees there are?

"Brothers, the guys, come on!" An officer approached him with a knife. The subordinates who woke up like a dream hurriedly put down their bows and arrows and drew their short soldiers to meet the battle. They are all local children of Shaanxi, growing up between mountains and rivers, running on the mountains when they are young, walking on this slope as if walking on flat ground.

The officer rushed forward with a knife and met him. At least three golden soldiers were coming at him. During the encounter, he leaned over and slammed the blade in his hand upward, but the blow fell short, and when he straightened up, there was no one in front of him! The three pinches of birds, one with one, all rolled down the mountain!

But as soon as their arrows stopped, the bottom was bad. The Jin army already had an advantage in strength and could not push through. It is because there are people in the mountains and forests on both sides from time to time who release cold arrows. Now that Jin Bing is not moving on the mountain, he is pushing forward with all his might! Although the Song army has advantages in being condescending, it also has obvious disadvantages. So much so that the Jin soldiers, who were blocking behind him, simply took the gun in his hand and threw it!

One after another, the antlers were overturned. The soldiers of the two armies are really called "hand-to-hand combat"! Because the distance is too close, the long weapon can't be used, so he smashes it with his fist, smashes it in the face, and slaps it in the face!

"Up!" Han Chang waved his hand, and another fierce soldier howled and charged forward.

Yang Zaixing's face was covered in blood. Except for the two eye sockets, I can't see my true colors. Seeing that the Jin army had increased its troops again, and the archers who were lying on the mountains on both sides had no movement, they knew that they were going to suffer, so they were so anxious that they roared angrily: "Archers! Shoot enemy reinforcements! Fast! ”

But how can these 100 or so archers inflict great damage on enemies who are several times their size? They fought for their lives, but they couldn't stop the other side's reinforcements from rushing up.

An archer, estimated to be in his thirties, saw that the enemy was outnumbered, and his side gradually became unable to support it. Suddenly put the bow on your back and turn around and run! As soon as he walked on his front foot, his companion, who had been standing beside him, looked back

The consequences of this kind of fleeing from the battlefield are extremely serious. In battle, the soldiers had a "herd mentality." "Whatever others do, he does too. At that time, dozens of people who fled in an uproar threw themselves into the mountains and forests, in order not to let the Jin army chase and kill.

A hole in the line of defense was finally torn open. And this gap was instantly enlarged several times! The golden soldiers who rushed up with all their might were red-eyed. Fight for it! Morale tilted one-sidedly towards the Jin army. Yang Zaixing was so angry that he scolded his mother, stabbed the iron gun into the stomach of a golden soldier, and slashed him in the back with a cold knife! The force of this blow hit him to a stumbling block! Before he could pull out his gun, the three weapons of Zhiyan beckoned to him!

Leaned back, filled the iron tools, pulled out the two steel knives at his waist with both hands in reverse, and screamed strangely in his mouth. Kill!

"Yang Commander, withdraw!" A soldier shouted.

"Win or die!" Yang Zaixing opened his mouth and shouted, because he used too much force, even the corners of his mouth were bleeding! These four words were heard by him in many battles side by side with the Hujie Township Army, which was too temperamental to him. Put on armor, carry swords and guns, and there must be "death if you don't win." The heroism!

There were fewer and fewer soldiers around him, and there were more and more enemies. Yang Zaixing was not afraid, and the two "hand knives" of the Song Army system in his hands were like sickles, harvesting human heads. Although the Jin soldiers surrounded him. But almost no one could get close to him!

"Yikes!!" A golden soldier was fierce, spotted a gap, and bent down to sweep his legs.

Caught off guard, Yang Zaixing was swept to the ground, and almost at the same time, five or six guns stabbed at the place where he fell! The warrior of the Western Army rolled on the spot and got up! Immediately, with a continuous action, he smashed his body as a stone to the Jin Bing who was in hot pursuit!

The Jin army gradually took control of the situation. The few remaining Huanqing soldiers who did not flee are still making the last resistance. Han Chang saw this situation in a few hundred steps, turned back to his subordinates and said, "Prepare to enter Danzhou." ”

After saying that, he turned his head, and when he looked at the battlefield again, a touch of Jiang color flashed on his face. Why are your subordinates retreating?

"Yao Feng is here! Yao Feng came to govern it". An excited shout rang out in the scuffle.

Yang Zaixing's double swords forced away the enemy of Silence. Take a few steps back and look back, overjoyed! Yao Zhizhou led his troops to come!

It can be seen that Yao Pingzhong's hand is clearly among the seed teachers who have learned. The heavy infantry, wrapped in thick armor, more than a dozen people in a small formation, and a hundred people in a large formation, rolled over. As soon as Huanqing soldiers saw this posture, they all took the opportunity to break away from the battle and make room for the heavy infantry. The Jin soldiers, who suddenly had no opponent, saw such a group of soldiers and horses, but they did not have the slightest cowardice, and pounced frantically.

But soon they appeared, this is to die, and the moving formation of the Song army is obviously practiced. All long soldiers, or blunt weapons, attack and defend in an orderly manner, only advance and not retreat! You cut it with a knife, you are unlucky, you will be the result before you cut someone, and if you are lucky, you can't destroy the opponent's heavy armor! Although there are not many troops in this formation, it has forced our army to retreat!

It would be nice if there was a horse army, and a wave of charges past, so that these armored men could not be defeated. It can be in such a bird place. When the horse army came, it was a wooden stake, standing and letting people fight. The heavy infantry was still advancing, gradually driving the attacking Jin army down the valley. Yao Pingzhong ran to the high ground, jumped off his war horse, and asked loudly, "Where is Yang Zaixing?" ”

The Huanqing soldiers all said that they didn't know, and one of them suddenly shouted: "In that place!" ”

Looking in the direction of his finger, Yao Pingzhong saw Yang Zaixing, who had already killed a bloody man, with a single double sword, following the heavy infantry formation, chasing and killing the retreating enemy.

The sun crossed the sky and turned westward. The Jin army has withdrawn. In the valley leading to the Song army's defensive line. There were many corpses lying in a mess, and I am afraid there were thousands. But the vast majority of them were left behind by the Jin soldiers, and this attack. Han Chang paid the price of more than 600 casualties, but still failed to take the passage.

Yang Zaixing had already taken off his armor, and the soldiers had brought water from a mountain stream a few miles away, and he was holding water to wash away the blood from his face.

"The injury doesn't matter, does it?" Yao Pingzhong walked over and asked loudly.

"It doesn't matter! It's just a flesh injury, but fortunately, Feng Zhi came in time, otherwise, the consequences would be worrying Yang Zaixing wiped a handful of waterways.

Yao Pingzhong looked down the valley and said with deep sympathy: "Yes, if you lose it here, the Jin people can go straight to Danzhou." The city of Danzhou was heavily damaged and difficult to defend. ”

Picked up his clothes and wiped his breath indiscriminately. It happened that the leader of the gang brought food, so he sat with Yao Pingzhong. Ate it.

"Feng Zhi, the humble Guan Jin army is powerful, and it will never give up, with the strength of our army, I am afraid it will be difficult to ensure that nothing goes wrong here." Yang Zaixing reminded. Yao Pingzhong was stationed in Danzhou. Qu Duan gave Huan Qingbing 6,000. Now it's mostly here. But there is always a part of the army left to defend the city. And since the Jin army chose to cross the river in Danzhou, the strength of the army can be imagined.

Yao Pingzhong took a bite of the bun, chewed it a few times, and when he heard this, he nodded and said: "I have asked Langzhou Qudutong for help, as long as I hold on for more than three days, things will be easy." After a pause, he added, "It seems that Xu Jiu is right, the Jin army really landed from Danzhou." Eye-down. is still only the vanguard, and the army of the Jin Kingdom is bound to be behind. If Quduan reinforces in time and pins down the Jin army in Danzhou, with the terrain here, even if the Jurchens cannot be defeated, they can inflict heavy losses on the enemy."

When Yang Zaixing heard this, he raised his eyebrows: "In the first battle of Dingrong, the vitality of the golden dog was greatly damaged, and it actually broke in after a month." This time, the two Xu Dashuai already controlled Huangguan and the pontoon bridge, and the Jin army had no way to retreat. As long as the troops are concentrated and a big fight is fought, even if the Jin army is slightly weakened, its military morale will be greatly damaged! ”

Yao Pingzhong seemed to be encouraged, so he simply put the food in his hand back into the basket and said excitedly: "I hope so!" You have made a meritorious contribution to resisting the enemy today, and in the future, this official will definitely invite rewards to Qudu Tong and the two directors for you! If you can defeat the Jin people, it is more than enough for you to be a soldier and a horse! "There is a reason why he is excited, he has already caught half of the first skill of the second anti-gold in his hands, and finally did not let Xu Jiu take the lead. If the situation continues to develop in a good direction and the Jin army is repulsed, then Huanqing Jingluo will take the post of appeasement envoy, and it is estimated that he will sit firmly. Since his father, Yao Gu, was deposed. He was also implicated, if he could sit in the position of being handsome all the way, then the Yao family would be in the west again (to be continued)
