Tens of thousands of righteous troops were divided into two groups, rushing towards the forbidden army of the imperial court from the northeast and northwest directions of Xiuzhou City, wearing messy armor, waving troops with equally messy weapons, shouting and shouting to raise two clouds of dust that rushed to the sky, like two turbid waves of the Qiantang River rushing towards the Song army.

Taking advantage of the enemy's unstable foothold, launch a head-on attack on the enemy.

Although I haven't read about any soldiers, Fang Qifo's method of using soldiers is still correct.

But Fang Qifo underestimated Song Jun and overestimated himself.

Fang Qifo underestimated the Song army in front of him, which was the most elite army of the Biandu Forbidden Army. Since the Son of Heaven ascended the throne in this dynasty, the ministers have become greedy for ink, and the officials worship the captain Gao Yu is also following the tide, you can enslave the soldiers to do private work for yourself, you can invade the barracks to build private houses, but the Son of Heaven has to review the army every year, in order to please the Son of Heaven, these hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops still have some elites, otherwise how can there be well-trained soldiers.

Although the historical Gao Yu is unbearable, the rebellion of Tong Guan, Yang Jian, Liang Shicheng, and Cai Jing still has some moral limits, but they have been pitted by the words and words, and it seems that the bad reputation of the six thieves is even greater.

"Array!" Seeing the rebels rushing towards him, Lotte ordered.

After receiving Lotte's order, I saw the handsome flag of the military camp raised, and the hula swayed, obviously playing the flag to welcome the enemy.

When the generals of the four armies saw the banner waving in front of the army, they immediately shouted and shouted to their troops to meet the invading enemy.

The rebel soldiers rushed towards the Song army in two groups, and the sound of rushing and killing was fierce, and the momentum could be described as earth-shattering.

300 zhang, 200 zhang......

The distance is getting closer and closer, Fang Qifo feels more and more incredible, the previous Song army saw the impact of such a posture under his command, and he had already lost his armor in fright, and the Song army in front of him was obviously different from the Song army that fought in the past, seeing that he had tens of thousands of horses charging, without the slightest fear, and the formation was not panicked at all.

At this moment, Fang Qifo saw that the Song army in front of him moved quickly, changing the marching formation into a dense formation, and even into a human wall.

Seeing such a scene in front of him, Fang Qifo, who was riding on a horse and charging at the Song army, wondered: "Why didn't the Song army take the initiative to attack, did they have to sit back and wait to die?" ”

Today's Xiuzhou city is blue sky and white clouds, and the air is also very dry, which is a rare good weather in the south of the Yangtze River, but the killing intent has spread between the two armies, and the breath of death is full of harvesting life.

Swish......

When Fang Qifo was puzzled, he saw a movement of the Song army in line, stretched out the spear in his hand, and the Song army in the front row was on one leg, and the gun touched the head of the gun and lifted it to half a person's height, and the Song army in the back did the same, raising the head of the gun to the height of one person's chest......

Soon a rejecting array of guns was formed.

These Song troops have not seen blood after a battle, and when they see these rushing rebels, their hearts are also tense to death, and they even have a feeling of weakness in their legs and stomachs.

It is precisely because of these feelings of superiority that these officers and soldiers did not retreat, but set up a frame according to the previous training exercises.

The rejection of the horse gun formation was originally used to deal with the cavalry of the Liao State, and the Great Song Dynasty lacked horses, which was also a helpless move of the Great Song Dynasty, but as long as the soldiers of the horse rejection array had heavy armor, it could not only fight against the cavalry, but also more than enough against the infantry, especially the army like the Righteous Army, which almost did not even have a few pairs of ordinary armor.

I had never seen such an army, Fang Qifo was stunned, if it wasn't for the timely reins and the war horse under his crotch rushing over, he was afraid that he would be pierced into a sieve.

The subordinates who followed followed, how could Fang Qifo show his timidity, waved his long sword, and commanded his subordinates to charge the Song army.

Fang Qifo believed in the past experience, as long as there was a charge, the Song army would be defeated, and he believed that the Song army in front of him would not be afraid of death like the previous Song army. In addition, Fang Qifo is also greedy, the equipment of this Song army is too good, the Song army in the past is good, with such equipment, it is just around the corner to cut the south of the Yangtze River and sweep the Great Song Dynasty, and even in the future, it will not be a problem to drive the Great Liao and Western Xia to the north.

The rebel army, which had not suffered defeat, did not pay attention to the posture of the Song army at all, and still charged with its previous experience.

"Shoot the ......"

Seeing that the chaotic army rushing like a wave was only a few dozen steps away from his own army, the general who led the army waved his hand and ordered.

Sou......

When the general's voice fell, with the vibration of the bowstring and the sound of breaking the air, countless arrows rushed into the sky behind the repelling horse and gun formation, and then drew an arc after being thrown in the air, falling like a torrential rain on the righteous army rushing towards the Song army......

Screaming, in the rebels one after another, countless soldiers fell with arrows, and the blood immediately stained the ground under their feet.

However, this is only the beginning, in the rain of arrows rushing to the sky, there are still many righteous soldiers rushing to the front of the Song army, but what awaits them is the continuous stabbing of spears, one shot and two eyes, and even one shot and two lives, reaping the lives of the righteous soldiers.

Arrows rained down from the sky, and guns stabbed out in front, killing and wounding countless people......

This Song army that had just appeared brought deep fear and shock to the attacking rebels, they did not expect that there were such powerful soldiers and horses in the imperial court, the rain of arrows and spears became their nightmare, and the morale of the rebels plummeted.

The Song army's arrow rain fell unexpectedly, but fortunately, the guards who were not afraid of death protected him and blocked the falling arrows for him, but his guards were also pierced into hedgehogs and died on the spot.

Fang Qifo, who was lucky enough to escape with a life, was shocked at the moment, and he didn't dare to have any underestimation of the imperial army, this Le Hou Ye was really extraordinary, no wonder he was able to lead the troops to destroy Xixia.

The lion fought the rabbit with all his strength, and the other party was just a small defense, causing such a big casualty to himself, this was a fact that Fang Qifo couldn't believe but had to face. The confrontation between the two armies is not only the wisdom of the generals of both sides, but also the patience of the generals and soldiers of both sides, and the superiority of equipment also occupies a large component.

When the Song army had the most archers, it even accounted for half of the cases, which was naturally due to a group of peasant troops who had just entered the hoe and devoted themselves to the cause of rebellion and revolution, and the peasant army not only had no training level, but also could not even meet the minimum requirements of a minimum weapon per manpower, not to mention any unified military uniforms and armor.

At this moment, the morale of the rebel army was crushed by the Song army, and the arrogance and arrogance of the commander Fang Qifo's heart were also struck by Lotte.

Unwillingly, Fang Qifo, who retreated, commanded his subordinates to attack the Song army again.

Under the order of Fang Qifo, the soldiers under his command charged several times in a row, and before they could rush to the front of the Song army's gun array, they were brutalized by the arrows released by the Song army, and they left countless corpses behind.

Seeing that the casualties of his subordinates were too heavy, a general of the righteous army came to Fang Qifo and persuaded him: "Fang Shuai, and retreat first, the equipment of the Song army is not what our army can do, it is better to retreat and find a way!" ”

Another general of the righteous army came to Fang Qifo, and continued to persuade with a worried face: "Fang Shuai, we lack bows and arrows in our hands, if we continue to fight like this, the brothers will suffer too many casualties, so it is better to withdraw and don't do anything else." ”

Since the dispatch of the army, when has there been such a defeat, Fang Qifo is unwilling, but he can't watch his brothers die in vain, and finally gritted his teeth and said helplessly: "Retreat!" ”

After receiving the order, the righteous soldiers who suffered many casualties hurriedly retreated, and the formation had already been disorganized, and the army could not be formed.

Seeing the retreat of the rebel army, Lotte's eyes showed a hint of joy, and at this time, he naturally wanted to take advantage of the victory to pursue, and then ordered to go down.

As soon as the battle flag of the army waved, another flag was played, and then the neighing of war horses sounded, and I saw two cavalry of the Song army rushing out and rushing in the direction of the retreat of the righteous army.

……

The invincible rebel army in Liangzhejiang not only tasted defeat for the first time, but also heard the rumbling of horses' hooves in the rear in the process of retreating.

Most of them were people who had joined the rebels because they hated the oppression of the imperial court, and the rest were not Manichaeans or robbers of the green forest, these people had no training, no weapons to fit together, and no good quality, and they lost their courage in the initial defeat, and now the court sent cavalry to chase and kill, which made them even more fearful.

Two legs could not outrun four legs in any case, and the Song cavalry brandished their horse lances, spears, and broadswords to slash at the rebels.

The Great Song Dynasty lacked horses, often three or four cavalry to have a horse, said that the cavalry and infantry are no different, but this situation improved with the opening of the Xihe River in the Zhezong Dynasty, the previous year Lotte destroyed the Western Xia, and seized one of the four major horse breeding places of the Hexi Corridor and the Lingxia Land, the situation of the Great Song Dynasty lack of horses has been fully changed.

In addition to the Western Army, the Biandu Forbidden Army naturally has to enrich the horses, otherwise how to restrain the border armies, as for the Hebei Forbidden Army, there is no such treatment for the time being.

The screams were endless, and the red blood flowers flashed with the cold light, blooming bright flowers, under the light of the sixteenth day of the first month of the third year of Xuanhe, they were very poignant......

At this moment, the righteous who have lost their fighting spirit and courage and are powerless to resist are a group of lambs to the slaughter for these cavalrymen, and they are also a pile of war exploits.

From afar, watching the rebels who ran for their lives were cut down and slaughtered by the cavalry, the guilt in Lotte's heart gradually rose, these rebels were just peasants in the countryside who originally kept their duties and worked hard with their faces to the loess and their backs to the sky, only because they couldn't stand the oppression of the government and were forced to pick up a hoe and follow Fang La to rebel, if the imperial court did not have the "Huashi Gang" and Zhu Mian's harshness, how could these people take the road of rebellion?

After his death, who will support his family, whether they starve to death or live on the streets and rely on begging, and even freeze to death on the streets because they can't get food in this chaotic winter.

Becoming more and more afraid to think about it, and even more unbearable to see the people being slaughtered, Lotte categorically ordered: "Mingjin retreats!" ”

"Master Hou, to annihilate the enemy's living force...... "Seeing that the corporal is killing happily, this time he will be promoted to become rich, listening to Lotte suddenly said that he wanted to withdraw his troops, and the generals of the forbidden army around him were not only puzzled but also unwilling, and were busy making excuses to persuade him.

Glancing sideways at the general, Lotte snorted coldly: "This time to quell the chaos, am I the boss or are you the boss!" ”

"Master Hou forgives your sins!" The general hurriedly saluted, bowed his head and said, "Yes, the last general will pass on this order." ”
