Chapter 469: Stubborn Resistance
Seeing the troops entering the lion's mouth, Xu Wei still didn't dare to be careless, he walked behind the tail end, only when he successfully passed this dangerous place, can he really rest assured.
The night is like an endless black curtain, which is an excellent cover for the Hu'er army, but if the Jin army sets up an ambush here, then the night will be a nightmare for him! The dragon's head and neck had already sunk into the mouth, and the Purple Gold Tiger suddenly felt breathless, he still felt that something was wrong. Or maybe it's because of his previous profession that he habitually doubts everything and keeps a high level of vigilance at all times.
He suddenly pulled his horse out of the ranks, whipped it, and galloped forward into the wind. When his own soldiers saw it, they followed even a few horsemen. The soldiers did not know that it was the commander who galloped past them, and they still held their breath and walked quickly.
At the entrance of the lion's mouth, Xu Weile stopped the reins and looked out. Although his eyesight is very good, he really can't see anything unusual in this dark night.
"Ma Wu, I don't believe you only have this ability, you must be calculating my ......" Xu Wei said secretly in his heart.
Xu Wei stared at the rolling hills next to the lion's mouth, and suddenly asked his own soldiers, "Do you know how to blow the horn of the Jin army's attack?" ”
"Yes." Someone replied. Just kidding, we have been fighting with the Jurchens for so many years, and we have fought against them more than a dozen times, and we have heard too many horns from the other side, how can we not remember them?
Xu Wei snorted, and went to give orders to a soldier first, so that the troops could be vigilant, especially after hearing the sound of the horn. In the event of an attack, the troops that had already entered the mouth rushed forward desperately, and those who had not yet entered stopped.
Nearly 20,000 troops, although it is said that although it is a one-sentence order, it still takes a certain amount of time to spread throughout the whole army. By the time all the orders had been delivered, the troops had already entered the opening two or three out of ten.
"Blow!" Xu Wei said categorically.
The pro-soldiers are confused, why are we blowing the horn of the Jin Army's attack here? But those who are soldiers only carry out military orders, and cannot ask why. As a result, several knights guarding Xu Wei took the silver horn from their waists.
The high-pitched and loud horn sounded suddenly! In the dark, it sounds so harsh and abrupt!
As soon as the horn sounded, the lion's mouth suddenly burst into the sound of killing! There was a commotion in the front troops! The sound of breaking the sky was endless, and the soldiers' cries of pain and exclamations rang out!
"There are ambushes! Fast! Rush forward! The officers shouted in desperation.
Although the soldiers were panicked for a while, fortunately, they had already received the warning signal beforehand, and at this time, there were officers commanding, so they ran forward with all their might! Since there is indeed an ambush here, then there is no need to care about what is hidden or not.
On the hill, the Jin army rained down arrows, and the follow-up troops, except for the Rock Army, which was a well-protected heavy infantry, were all archers wearing light armor and some logistics troops. Bows and arrows are still quite threatening to them. Especially since the terrain here is narrow, there is almost no place to dodge, and coupled with the dense crowd, there are countless people who have been hit by arrows!
The soldiers ran desperately forward with the support of their wounded comrades, and the troops who had not yet entered the mouth immediately stopped and prepared for battle!
At this moment, the hill suddenly lit up with sparkling lights, and in the blink of an eye, it gathered into a fire dragon! Under the light of the fire, countless golden soldiers roared and killed from the mountain!
"Sure enough, there is a fraud!" Xu Wei cut his teeth.
As soon as the words fell, there was a sound of killing behind me! Looking back, the Jin army with torches in the wild hands killed from behind again! This place, with hills on the right and the Luo River on the left, is blocked before and after, and there is no way out!
Countless eyes shot at Xu Wei, waiting for his order.
"Li Chengwei!" Xu Wei yelled.
"In!" This party leader will come on horseback!
"You personally lead the fire rider and block the pursuers behind me!" Xu Wei ordered.
"Order!" Li Chengwei howled, raised the assault rifle in his hand, and shouted hysterically: "Assault Rider, follow me!" ”
"Yes!" The cavalry replied loudly. After that, they turned their horses' heads one after another, followed Li Chengwei's steps, and launched an attack on the attacking Jin army.
"Zhang Xian! You go to the front and command! The ambush has already rushed down, there is no heavy infantry, you bring the archers to block it for me, and get tangled with the enemy! Under the shock, Xu Wei didn't have time to think about it. Zhang Xian received the order, whipped the war horse fiercely, and rushed forward like an arrow!
At this end, Li Chengwei led more than 100 fire riders to attack the Jin army from behind at a gallop! The cold wind shouted, mixed with the shouting and killing of the Jin army, surging like a wave, and I don't know how many soldiers and horses came! But Li Chengwei and other knights didn't have time to think about this, although they only had more than a hundred horsemen, if they didn't contain the enemy army behind, then most of them would be attacked by the enemy, and there would be no way to advance or retreat, and the rest of the result would be to be squeezed into the river!
It's close! The golden army that is surging like a tide is already close at hand!
"Phew!" The flame of the assault rifle was ignited! Li Chengwei clamped the barrel of his gun and aimed at the swarming enemies! Due to the terrain here, even if there are only more than 100 horsemen, they can't all be deployed, and the score is divided into two columns. Therefore, while the cavalrymen in the front platoon lit the thread medicine, the companions behind could only wait for them to finish.
Fifty steps! There was a crackling explosion! The assault gun fired! The Jin infantry who rushed up fearlessly suddenly fell to the ground, they didn't even understand what was going on, they only felt that something was overwhelming, and there was severe pain everywhere on their faces and bodies!
After the first row, he immediately fell on the horse's back, clutched the assault rifle in his hand, and waited to be used as a mallet! The fire rider in the back row couldn't wait for a moment, and immediately ignited the medicine line and aimed at the enemy group!
Twenty steps!
The archers of the Jin Army, who saw the attack of the cavalry, began to release arrows! After knocking down the enemy in pieces, all the cavalry grabbed the assault rifles and crashed into them with an indomitable momentum!
The landslide and the ground crack suddenly appeared! The galloping war horses broke through to the Jin Army's infantry group with great strength! The assault rifles in the hands of the knights have become blunt weapons at this time, and with every stick, you can see the brains bursting!
The sudden fire cavalry was fierce, and it had the power of firearms, and for a time it actually rushed the Jin army's pursuers to pieces, and many people were actually squeezed into Luoshui!
Li Chengwei is fierce! The assault rifle in his hand, which had already shot out projectiles, flew up and down, and blood splattered everywhere! His subordinates followed closely and struck straight forward in the Jin army!
The cavalry attacked at night, and I am afraid that I would not be able to find a few precedents through the classics and history books. Fortunately, the Jin army with torches illuminated the direction of the attack for the Assault Riders, so that they would not rush into the river blindly.
And at the forefront of the troops, before Zhang Xian took the lead in the soldiers, he gave up his iron spear, handled the short-handled axe equipped by the archers, carried an iron round shield, and led the soldiers to meet the Jin army!
And on the other side of him, like a wall of enemies, hundreds? Although he was wearing armor, this famous general of the Tiger Army was running like flying! In the face of a long spear like a forest, he had no fear! When the two are only three or four paces apart, he stands out for his amazing move! Sideways shield, kick sharply, fly up and smash at the enemy!
At least three or more Jin soldiers were knocked backwards by him, and the people next to him were trying to shoot him! Unexpectedly, the soldiers of the Song Army who followed violently collided! The two armies were huddled together, with mountains on the right and rivers on the left, and there was no way to talk about any formation. The spears at the forefront of the Jin army were originally going to use the guns to drive the Song army into the river, but who knew that the Song army would react so quickly? Under the congestion of the two armies, the big guns of more than one foot could not be waved at all. On the contrary, it was the short axes that the archers of the Song army carried with them came in handy.
Where the two armies meet, the soldiers of the enemy and our armies are almost face to face huddled together! Jin Bing was so hard that the spear was made, and he couldn't draw it back for a while! And the soldiers of the Song Army, who were eager to survive, picked up a short-handled axe and slashed it over! For a while, brains, minced meat, blood, sprayed all over the face!
Zhang Xian took the shield and resisted the enemy soldiers who were nose to nose, and the short axe in his hand instantly cut out three axes! Chop a head into a stump alive!
This is, the tiger army is in a fierce battle at the beginning and end! Thanks to the impact of the Sudden Fire Ride, Xu Wei won precious time! He anxiously arranged the archers to prepare to meet the enemy in the back, but before he could finish arranging, the Jin army was chasing and had already rushed over. Li Chengwei's cavalry had already rushed out of the crowd of the Jin army, and was turning their horses' heads, preparing to complete a round.
"Shoot the arrows!" Xu Wei hurriedly ordered.
At the same time, the yellow birch bow, the black lacquer bow, and the stepping crossbow were fired at the same time! The sound of strings is endless. And such large instruments as the Divine Arm Bow and the Bed Crossbow have not had time to be prepared!
The Jin army came to attack with a sense of victory, fearless of the flying locusts that rained down on the Song army. After their companions were shot down, they stepped on the corpses and continued to attack!
Even the most well-trained army could not help but panic in such a sudden encounter with the enemy. Even the most experienced veteran in the Hu'er Army, the hand that pulls the arrow at this time can't help but tremble a little!
The Jin army fell in piles, but it still couldn't stop the momentum of their attack! It seems that the other party is determined to win!
Xu Wei snatched a big knife from the hand of the soldier next to him, swung it forward and shouted, "Go! The archers put away their bows, raised their axes, and shouted to meet them!
The earth-shattering shouts of killing echoed for a long time beside this Luoshui, straight into the sky! One side is for great success, and the other side is for survival, and they are doing their best! Jin Jun was obviously prepared, and he caught Song Jun off guard at the beginning. But after all, the Hu'er Army has been in battle for a long time, and after a short period of panic, it quickly adapted. Both ends of the front and back launched a stubborn block! Because they are the Tiger Army, they are the elite of a hundred battles! Even though the situation was not in my favor, they fought back with their fierce instincts!
