Li Meng squinted his eyes for a long time, and suddenly smiled: "Father, can you believe that the child suddenly rushed over and captured that Xu Jiu alive?" ”

Knowing his son Mo Ruo's father, Li Zhi knew in his heart that this time his son was brave and fierce, and his lifelong ambition was to become a general. Unlike other generals, others regard sages such as Wei Huo and Li Jing as idols, but he once said, "As a general, you must be persistent, regardless of difficulties, and be the first soldier; The reward must be done, and the punishment must be believed. These words came from the mouth of Cao Zhang, the second son of Cao Cao of the Three Kingdoms, and even Li Meng's expression was called "Rencheng", which came from Cao Zhang's title "King Rencheng".

"My son is brave, but when he is in battle, he must not be reckless. You see, the rider of the yellow huss is always holding his bow and not moving. Li Zhi said, glanced at the military general who straddled the black horse two hundred steps away, turned the horse's head and ran back into the formation.

Xu Wei carefully observed and found that although there were a lot of cavalry in the Li Jin coalition army, it was obviously much inferior to the previous two southern invasions with thousands of horses galloping at every turn. He placed the formation at the foot of Xiaoxi Mountain, backed by Zezhou City, and bordered by the Danshui River on the right, which could somewhat limit the impact of the opposing horse army. But his own strength is only 12,000, and the other party is obviously several times that of Hujie, and before the war starts, he is ready to accept large casualties.

"Brother Jiu, it's weird, you see that all the enemy horses are behind the formation." Mattei pointed forward with the axe in his hand. Xu Yang and the others looked at the situation, and sure enough, they saw that the other party had placed all the cavalry on the left and right sides behind the big array. And in front of the formation, it was almost all full armor and holding the heavy steps of the long soldiers. Did the Jurchens abandon the cavalry assault tactics they had always used?

Yang Yan thought secretly, in the past, when fighting with the Jin army, the other party often wanted to use cavalry to disrupt the formation of our army first, and the foot soldiers then caught up. But in this way, the horse army, which had almost no protection, was completely exposed in front of our bows and crossbows. The Jurchens are cooperating with Li Reverse this time, so don't they let Li Jun take the lead first? As soon as he thought of this, he said to Xu Wei: "Brother Jiu, do you want to let my heavy step go first?" ”

Yang Yan's sword and shield were all guarding the wings on the left and right sides of the large array, sandwiching the crossbowmen in the middle, which could not be easily changed. Xu Jiu thought for a moment and shook his head. Li Zhi is a tricky guy, and I don't understand what he wants to do for the time being.

"Go back!" Xu Wei pulled the reins and ran back to the formation with the second general. Shi Hujie's "stacking array" has been completely completed, and Wu Jie's thinking in creating this formation is defense, that is, waiting for the other party to touch the nail. Now that the Jurchens put the cavalry behind, it is estimated that they will have to be flexible in the fight.

Before the three of them could run back, they suddenly heard the sound of war drums behind them! In the past two years, they have fought bloody battles with the Jin army, and they have become accustomed to hearing the sound of the Jurchens' horns first. With the roaring war drums, the soldiers of the Li army shouted in unison, although they knew that many of the other party were rabble, but the huge sound made by tens of thousands of people chanting in unison still surprised the soldiers of Hujie.

"Howl! Let's shout too! Yang Yan said loudly.

"Nope! Let them shout. Xu Wei glanced back at the north and sneered. After finishing speaking, he rushed back to the main formation of the Chinese army to sit in command. On the other side, the Li Jin coalition army shouted more and more happily, and the sound was like thunder, but Hujie's side was silent and quiet. More than 10,000 people remained in their positions unmoved, like clay sculptures.

In front of the drum car, the soldiers ran over and grabbed the reins and took the weapons. Boarding the drum cart, looking from a high distance, the enemy has no intention of attacking, but just blindly shouting the strength of the army. The sound rose higher and higher, and even the ground seemed to shake. Xu Wei didn't take another look, but looked around to observe his large array, checking if there were any omissions. After confirming that it was correct, he sat down, poured him a bowl of hot soup with his own soldiers, and as soon as he took a sip, the shouting on the other side stopped.

It's also weird to say, Hujie's side thought that the other party had howled enough and should attack, but the enemy still didn't move. The huge battlefield, tens of thousands of horses, suddenly there was no sound. Xu Wei frowned, play psychological warfare with me? This strange scene lasted for about a cup of tea, and the other party finally attacked.

The heavy infantry of the Li army, wearing the same armor and carrying the same shield as the Hujie army, broke away from the main formation and moved forward slowly. The Song army's infantry armor weighed dozens of pounds, and with shield weapons, it was very difficult for the soldiers to run. But the advantage is that the protection is extremely high, and thousands of people form a dense formation to advance, which is like a wall, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a human tank in the Song Dynasty. Li Jun strode in a neat pace, and the soldiers struck their shields with their weapons, making a loud collision sound. This voice was all too familiar to the Hujie soldiers, because it was also their usual tactic, marching in formation like a wall.

Xu Wei put down the soup bowl and got up to look at it, what do you mean? Come first with heavy infantry?

"Li Zhi went up first with infantry and fell into a hard piece. If our army charges with cavalry, the Jurchen horse army will also move. If you shoot with a crossbow, it is difficult to deal a lot of damage. If you let him come over for hand-to-hand combat, he will be twisted again, and it will be difficult to ......," beside the drum car, Wang Yan, the deputy commander of Hujie, stared at the front and said in a deep voice.

"Then according to the opinion of the son? What should I do? Xu Wei asked sideways.

Wang Yan looked at it for a while, and saw that the infantry of the Li army was still advancing steadily, and the sonorous sound of the weapon hitting the shield was getting closer and closer! Turning his head to look at Xu Wei, he only said four words: "Wait and see." ”

Yes, Li Zhi definitely didn't expect these thousands of heavy infantry to defeat the Hujie Township Army. But since he sent it out, it's definitely not to let his subordinates pose, what does he want to do? Put bait? What does he want to induce me to do? While he was thinking about it, Yang Yan rushed over from the front army, and before he reached the drum car, he shouted: "Brother Jiu, let me step on again!" ”

Xu Wei was silent for a while, and at this time, it was also a way to let the heavy infantry block it. asked Yu Wang Yan, but he couldn't figure it out, so he only said that everything was subject to the ruling. Xu Wei thought secretly, after all, he had not led the troops for a long time, and it was impossible for him to see the opportunity at a glance like a famous general. Since I'm not sure what tricks Li Zhi is playing now, and the "stacking array" is mainly used for defense, it's better not to move. As long as my formation is not scattered and chaotic, no matter how you fight, I have the power to parry and counterattack.

"Brother Jiu, it's almost time to enter the range of the bow and crossbow! The other party's infantry army is less said to have four thousand! Once you get to the front of the battle and fight with our army, the situation will definitely disperse! Yang Yan shouted anxiously.

"Go back! You are not allowed to come to the Chinese army without my orders! Xu Wei shouted! Yang Yan was stunned, hugged his fists on horseback, and then rushed back to the front army.

Xu Wei saw that the other party was getting closer and closer, and he could even see that their whole bodies were shrouded in armor, and even the hood on their heads was covered with a mask, revealing only two eye sockets, which was simply equipped with heavy infantry to the extreme.

"Herald! Within the enemy's firing range, the armies are not allowed to move! The divine arm fires first, the crossbow follows, and the other archers don't shoot arrows! As soon as Xu Wei gave the order, the herald immediately conveyed the order to the commanders of the various armies.

As soon as the order was received, the officer commanding the crossbowmen immediately waved his sword and shouted: "Open the bow!" ”

In a group of three, the two soldiers immediately twisted the wheel and put together the three giant bows fixed on the lathe, and the squeak resounded after the Tiger Victory array. As soon as the soldier in charge of firing the bowstring snapped the crossbow, he immediately put the arrow on, and then adjusted the direction slightly and began to look for the target.

Suddenly! The heavy infantry of the Li army seemed to know that it had entered the range of the Divine Arm Bow, and at first it was still advancing steadily, but at this time, it ran without warning, shouting and killing, and it was a big hit! And what awaits them is the sharp arrow lying quietly in the bow and arrow slot of the divine arm!

"Put!" The commander with an exaggerated expression unique to the battlefield roared a tiger!

Before his words fell, one hundred and ten divine arm bows were fired almost simultaneously! The bowstring was not loud, even a little muffled, but the great power was immediately apparent. Although he was wearing a step armor and a long shield in front of him, he still couldn't stop the divine arm bow that could "enter the elm with half an arrow".

The infantry of the Li Army, who was running in the front, did not fall backwards after being hit by an arrow, because the arrow was extremely penetrating. It shot through their shields first, then through their heavily armored bodies, and then embedded in the shield of an infantry member behind them. This is a heavy step, if you change to other poorly protected troops, the divine arm bow can shoot through two people with one arrow!

"Open the bow!" The enemy approached two hundred paces, and the officer commanding the crossbow shouted orders. Nearly 1,000 crossbowmen moved in unison, stepping on the rope to pull the bowstring, and after attaching the feather arrows, they flattened the crossbow, their heads slightly sideways, and squinted to aim.

Watching one enemy soldier after another fall to the ground, Xu Wei didn't dare to take it lightly. His gaze had been fixed on the large array of the Li Jin coalition army, catching every slight change.

The sound of killing was close to his ears, and Li Jun rushed to the front of the Tiger Jie formation with his strong protection. They were afraid of the sharp arrows, but they were not afraid of the tip of the spear, and after firing the guns with their shields, they immediately wrenched themselves with the Hujie spearmen and started a hard-to-face hand-to-hand combat. There were only 3,000 spearmen in front of the Tiger Jie Formation, and their mission was originally to resist the onslaught of the Jin cavalry, but now they were fighting bloody battles with heavy infantry who were also equipped with heavy armor and holding shields, and they obviously could not take advantage.

The originally neat phalanx had been deformed, and the archers behind watched the bloody battle of the spearmen brothers, and they just wanted to step forward to help, but they had no choice but to be escorted by Tiger Jie on both sides, and they couldn't get out of it at all!

"Pull Yang Yan's heavy steps up, the spearmen can't withstand it." Wang Yan looked at Xu Weidao. Probably he also guessed that Li Zhi must have a backhand, and added, "No matter what means the enemy uses, first annihilate the enemy in front of you." ”

Xu Wei gritted his teeth, his right hand tightly grasped the handle of the knife at his waist, and he still shook his head. This is the first time that the Hujie army has lined up alone and fought the enemy head-on, and must not be careless.

The bloody battle before the battle became more and more intense, and Li Zhi was obviously coming against the heavy infantry of the Song army, and his infantry was almost always equipped with blunt weapons. Such as axes, hammers, maces. Even if you are covered with iron armor, you can't cut through the knife or pierce the gun, but if someone takes a hammer on the head?

The shouts of killing, the screams, the wails, the horrific sight is enough to disturb the mind of a commander. If you add the strong demand of your subordinates, it will be even more disastrous. But Xu Wei didn't, although his subordinates asked several times to send heavy infantry to reinforce the spearmen.

Yang Yan came again, his armor was covered with blood, he ran to Xu Wei's car, knelt on the ground with a plop, and cried: "Commander! Xu Zhao! I beg you, let me step again! The gunmen were killed and wounded so badly! Dog's day is all blunt! I'll fuck it, Li Jun is prepared! This iron-clad man burst into tears.

Xu Wei didn't have long eyes, could he not see the heavy casualties of the gunmen? Facing Yang Yan, this brother-like subordinate, he still didn't say a word. It's not that he is cold-blooded and ruthless, he told himself from the first day he led the troops. As a general, he is different from everyone else, because he will lose an order, and the army will die! Hujie is the army he founded single-handedly, and every soldier is his brother Paoze, can he not feel distressed? But now, the Li Jin coalition army has only sent heavy infantry, and the large array of men and horses has not moved, and there must be fraud in this. If my 12,000 horse infantry army is completely affected by these thousands of heavy infantry, then today's battle will definitely be lost!

Li Jun's heavy steps were roughly the same as Hujie's spearmen, even if he fought until dark, he couldn't eat me. I'd like to see who can hold it, I don't believe you've been wasting it!

Yang Yan didn't react when he saw that Brother Jiu didn't have any reaction, he didn't even have the slightest expression on his face, his eyes were looking straight ahead, and he didn't look at him. I was so anxious that I was helpless, and suddenly gritted my teeth, got up, and said to Xu Wei: "If you die in battle today!" Please take care of the two elders on your behalf! ”

Half an hour passed, and the two sides did not move except for a fierce battle of several thousand people. Wang Yan asked Xu Wei to put the heavy infantry up several times, but he didn't nod, and finally Wang Yan himself joined the battle group with his own soldiers.

Thousands of steps away, Li Zhi saw this moment and sighed: "Ren Cheng, the Purple Gold Tiger is worthy of its name, and it is worthy of being a Jiangmen Tiger." ”

Li Meng also nodded, and said with a bit of admiration in his tone: "Fighting like this, his main formation is still not moving. If it were me, I was afraid that I would even rush up. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a Jin army cavalry running over and said in Chinese: "Hu'er is not fooled, the deputy marshal is ready to act, please ask the marshal to respond." ”

The tone of his speech was very stiff, Li Meng looked angry when he heard it, Li Zhi didn't seem to mind, and agreed: "Of course." ”

After Jin rode away, Li Zhi looked at the Song army camp and said: "Xu Jiu is indeed a tiger general, but unfortunately, he is called a Jurchen." The mantis arm blocks the car, how stupid. ”

Li Meng immediately took a sip: "The Jurchens are not good birds!" Panicked so much that Li Zhi shouted!

In the Tiger Jie formation, Xu Wei was already a little shaken, and at least twice wanted to give the order to let the heavy infantry go up. But whenever the words were about to come out, he said to himself, wait and wait, and the opponent must be waiting at this time. Wang Yan was injured and forcibly snatched out by his own soldiers, Xu Wei saw that he couldn't wait any longer, and shouted: "Pass my order, and the two sides will be hit with heavy steps!" ”

The heralds who were waiting next to him at any time immediately ran to both sides, and after giving the order, Xu Wei inadvertently looked up at the large array of Li Jin's coalition army. At this look, he shouted out almost reflexively: "Come back!" Cancel the order! ”

He saw that all the infantry in the front line of the enemy army had retreated to the sides and made way for a passage. A cavalry was slowly marching out of the formation. The distance was too far to see clearly, but Xu Wei felt that this cavalry was not the same, and the color was different. After they left the main formation, they did not rush forward to assault, but advanced to the side, and the speed was not fast, as if they were stepping on small steps. After all of them came out of the battle, Xu Wei found that there were not many troops and they had killed a thousand horsemen. What do they do to the side? Do you want to hit my wings in a roundabout way? On either side of me are heavy infantry, and there are six thousand seven crossbowmen waiting for you, and you can't ride a thousand to find death?

The strange cavalry still pushed to the side, and when it reached an oblique angle to the Tiger Jie array, it stopped and reorganized its formation, as if it was ready to attack? The more Xu Wei looked at it, the more he felt that something was wrong, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind, and his heart was cold, heavy cavalry! Iron Float!

At the thought of this thing, even though it was a cold day, Xu Wei was still shocked into a cold sweat! My dear mother! It's dangerous! Li Zhi sent heavy infantry to rush at me, originally wanting me to block the heavy infantry on both sides. Wait until the battle is deadlocked, and then let the Jurchen heavy cavalry come and attack my flank in a roundabout way. At that time, there were no spearmen to resist, the heavy infantry was pinned down and could not be withdrawn, my side was completely exposed, and only a few thousand crossbowmen were left to face the ancient tanks! What should it be like at that time?

Looking at Yue Fei's deeds in the past, I knew that he broke the kidnapping horse and Tiefutu. But the information says that the heavy cavalry of the Jin army connected several horses together, and the men and horses were all dressed in heavy armor to impact the formation of the Song army. But the last time in Gongxian County, when I galloped to help the eldest brother and the fourth brother, I had seen the heavy cavalry of the Jin army, and I didn't find that the other party was connecting several horses together. Today, these cavalry are also fighting alone, is it a historical misinformation? It seems that it is better to believe in a book than to have no book at all.

In today's battle, the key to victory or defeat is whether you can stop the Iron Floating Massacre!

Xu Wei was heartbroken, jumped off the drum cart neatly, and followed by his own soldiers, went straight to the right flank heavy infantry phalanx. Today, these heavy infantrymen, who are known as the main force of the Tiger Jie, are probably the most depressed, watching their comrades shed blood and die, but the higher authorities do not give them the order to enter the battle. Finally, I saw that the commander was rushing over, and both the officers and soldiers were staring at each other.

"Ziang! Ziang! Wang Yan ran wildly with an injury in the back, obviously, he also found out that something was wrong. After catching up with Xu Wei, he couldn't take his breath and said, "I didn't expect that the Li thief was so insidious, if our army blocked the heavy infantry, today it would be a division that would end up like a mountain!" ”

Xu Wei walked in a hurry, and said to him sideways: "Last time in Gongxian, hundreds of heavy cavalry rushed into chaos in the formation of Changjie's army, and my eldest brother told me afterwards that he was ready to kill at that time. I don't want the Jurchens to exalt me like this, so they use the heavy cavalry on me! Damn! ”

"When I was young, I entered the party twice with the small breed of Jingluogong, and the Xia army also had heavy cavalry, called 'Iron Harrier', which was very powerful! The rushing will shake the mountains, and the infantry army will definitely not be able to resist! Be sure to make it stop! Otherwise, you will definitely lose! Wang Yan seemed to have been hit by a blunt object on the shoulder, and he kept tilting his body when running.
