Chapter Seventy-Six: The Death Battle

Xu Wei clutched the Mo knife enshrined in the inner court, and his heart was difficult to calm down. It is still uncertain whether the fourth brother will live or die, and it is impossible to know whether the Jingsui camp can fight, and whether the strategy he formulated by relying on the advantage of predicting history can save the life of this country that has been weak for a hundred years, and too many uncertain factors linger in his heart and linger. It is true that the traveler knows more than others, but the more they know, the better it is, the better it is. Everyone is drunk and I wake up alone, this loneliness, this helplessness, who can understand it? Suddenly laughed secretly, why should I think so much about the big war is coming? It is taboo to suffer from gains and losses, and you just need to do your best to do it.

"Here we are." Zhang Qing saw the dust rising in front of him from afar, and reminded in a low voice.

Xu Wei looked into the distance, his expression was calm, come on, what kind of grassland iron horse you are, the Jurchen elite, Lao Tzu will fight you to the end!

"Zhang Qing, take a hundred people to supervise the formation! Those who dare to take a step back, regardless of officers and non-commissioned officers, will be killed! Xu Wei ordered in a deep voice, and Zhang Qing immediately led a hundred archers to stand behind the formation, eyeing the tiger. The soldiers of the whole battalion were in their hearts and looked ahead. I saw a military horse galloping towards him, judging from the color of the uniform and equipment, there was no doubt that it should be an official army.

"Brethren, the brave on the narrow road wins! I, Xu Wei, dare not guarantee that I will fight side by side with you and will never take a step back. If I abandon my brother and run away, Zhang Qing! Xu Weisheng spread in all directions.

"In!"

"Let all your archers call me!" As soon as Xu Wei's words came out, there were thousands of people in Jingsui Camp, who would dare to have two hearts. Holding our breath, just waiting for the Jurchens to come, we have to take a good look at whether these barbarians from the north are three-headed and six-armed!

Here it comes! At a distance of about two hundred paces from the Biao official army, a large number of strangely dressed cavalry were in hot pursuit. The dust is loud, the sound of hooves is shocking, and the momentum is quite terrifying! Iron hooves trampled the earth, and it seemed that even here could feel the vibration. It was like a strong vibration, like an invisible pressure, which oppressed more than 3,000 soldiers and soldiers. Many people's chests rose and fell, and they exhaled vigorously.

When the officers and soldiers saw that the Jingsui camp was here, the excitement of the rest of their lives after the catastrophe turned into cheers! The front knight turned his horse's head and went straight to the Jingsui camp. Before one of them could get closer, he shouted, "Which army is the brother?" ”

Xu Wei didn't answer, waved his hand and shouted, "You guys go!" Here I am! ”

The group of officers and soldiers rushed to the side of the Jingsui camp and stopped, and when they turned back, they saw that the enemy army was not far away, and time was pressing. Without saying much, the leading officer ordered loudly: "Wounded brother, escort the lord to go first!" For the rest, enter the battle! As soon as the words fell, dozens of horsemen left the group and ran south. The remaining hundreds of people moved very quickly, and the pikemen immediately lined up side by side with the Jingsui battalion, and the archers dismounted and stood behind the spearmen. At a glance, you can see that you are well-trained, and you don't know whose subordinates it is?

"My lord! This group of pursuers has at least 1,000 horsemen, and they are extremely brave! The officer ran to Xu Wei's side, stared ahead and said.

Xu Wei didn't respond, because he had already seen the Jurchen cavalry chasing after him stop. With the fierceness of the Jurchens, they would never take these two or three thousand men and horses in their eyes, so the temporary stagnation was by no means for the purpose of retreating. In front of the cavalry formation, several Jurchens gathered together and argued fiercely about something, and a moment later, one of them raised his scimitar, and a loud horn sounded! More than 1,000 cavalry immediately began to set up formation, and it seemed that they were ready to attack. Xu Wei's expression was calm, motionless, waiting for the enemy to come.

Suddenly! The generals of the Jin army swirled their scimitars and galloped back and forth in front of the battle, and all the Jurchen knights shouted loudly, and the sound entered the sky. This is a move to boost morale and deter the enemy before the start of the war, and it is intended to take the lead in the first place!

Xu Wei noticed that a few soldiers in the formation were trembling, and it was obvious that the enemy's hand had worked. Don't let the other side take the lead!

"Where is Brother Jingsuiying?" As soon as the reins were lifted, the war horse man stood up, Xu Wei raised his Mo knife and shouted!

"In!" The vast majority of the soldiers responded in unison.

"The battle is won! If you retreat, you will die! I, Xu Wei, advance and retreat with my brothers! Kill! Kill! Kill! Xu Wei's shout clearly reached the ears of every soldier!

"Kill! Kill! Kill! "A loud roar resounded across the earth! The soldiers tried their best, almost frantically venting the fear in their hearts! When the officer heard Xu Wei's shout, he suddenly turned his head sideways, Xu Wei! Is he Xu Wei? With a happy face, he gritted his teeth, his eyes became sharp, and a face that was originally full of tiredness and loneliness also showed a resolute look!

The earth-shattering sound of horses' hooves sounded again, and the Jurchens attacked! More than 1,000 iron riders came with the smoke and dust raised by the trampling, overwhelming!

"Archer prepare!" Xu Wei kept his eyes on it and calmly gave the order.

Nearly a thousand archers drew a feathered arrow from the quiver, stuck it in the ground, took one, and wound it. The left hand of someone holding the bow trembled, and the right hand could not even catch the arrow on the string. Seeing this, the comrade next to him whispered: "Don't panic, if you shoot an arrow, the brothers in front of you will be less dangerous." Nodding vigorously and taking a hard breath, the archer gritted his teeth and placed the arrow on the string.

One hundred steps! This should have been the distance at which the archers could shoot, but the bows equipped by the Jingsui battalion were too inferior, and it was difficult to cause effective damage to the enemy at this distance.

Eighty steps!

"Open the bow!" As he gave the order, behind the formation, the bowstring tightened its bow arm and creaked.

Seventy steps! Murderous intent appeared in Xu Wei's eyes! Shoot the arrows! The strings sounded, and the sharp arrows brought up the strong wind and whistled out! The first column of archers finished shooting, and immediately fell to their knees, and the second column of sharp arrows flew over their heads!

The Jurchen cavalry that attacked with the momentum of earth-shattering did not pay any attention to the thousands of Song troops in front of them. But when the arrows came, they were still flesh and blood, and the cavalrymen in the front row, who were howling like beasts at first, were shot and fell off their horses! But the others were still not afraid, seeing the Song army formation getting closer and closer!

The rain of arrows has not stopped! The soldiers of the Jingsui Battalion, who were originally frightened by the fear of being devoured, saw the Jurchens fall one by one, and finally proved that the Jurchens were also human!

Sou! The sound of breaking the sky came, and Xu Wei only felt a chill on his face! A sharp arrow flew past his face and hit a soldier behind him! The Jurchen archers began to fight back! The whistling arrows were a great test for the infantry standing still. There are constantly soldiers who fall to the ground with arrows, and the morale of the army is shaken! But seeing that the commander was motionless, the soldiers' confidence increased sharply, and they gritted their teeth and held on!

"Stop! Gunners prepare! Xu Wei's expression was grim, and his eyes were like torches. The gunmen in the front row held the iron guns, which were more than a foot long, and held the barrels of the guns to the ground. They were the hardest in the entire unit. To resist the terrifying impact of the iron knight with flesh and blood, even if he is wearing heavy armor, the pressure on his heart can be imagined.

"I don't want to die, I don't want to die, I don't want to die......" A spearman burst into tears when he saw the charging Jurchen cavalry approaching, and kept muttering. Suddenly, he jumped up from the ground! At the same moment, an arrow entered the back of his neck and pierced his throat! The soldier's mouth was wide open, but he couldn't make a sound, and he looked at the arrow that ran through his throat and saw his own blood flowing, and finally regretted it too late.

Before he could breathe, one of his comrades rushed up and kicked him away, picked up his spear and sat on the ground! Looking at the enemy, who had already rushed to the front of the rejection, he clenched his weapon and closed his eyes.

The terrifying impact of the iron cavalry, Xu Wei finally saw it. The wooden gun array arranged in front of the infantry could not withstand the huge impact of the Jurchen cavalry. One of the cavalrymen even jumped over the horse, and the spear in his hand was thrown like lightning and pierced into the chest of a soldier of the Jingsui battalion!

The loud sound shook everyone's heart! Two armies meet! The swift cavalry is crashing into the tip of the spear! But the unparalleled impact with inertia is still amazing! The spearman sitting on the ground was almost shocked to death by the force of the impact! If it weren't for the protection of the heavy armor on the body, this momentum alone would be enough to kill someone!

The first column is gone! The second column is destroyed! The third column is destroyed! That damn momentum was tearing at the Jingsui Battalion's defenses like a devastating one!

Xu Wei immediately stood by the formation, very calm, and saw that the fourth column of guns was also disrupted, but he was still silent. Rush back, and the archer camp will never be able to resist! Once the formation is completely disorganized, the infantry can only be chased and slaughtered by the cavalry!

Fifth column! Good! No matter how great the power is, there will still be a time when the crossbow will end! Although the five columns of guns were impacted, the soldiers did not rout, and the iron spears of more than one foot pierced the horse's body, delaying the attack behind! Now is the time!

"Sword and shield hand! Above! Xu Wei yelled hysterically! The thousands of sword and shield hands on both wings moved when they heard the wind, like an iron tong, outflanked on both sides, and quickly closed! Don't think that the cavalry that has lost its impact and mobility will be tied up, the fierce steppe wolf is absolutely not willing to be defeated!

When the sword and shield hands on both wings of the Jingsui battalion struck up, what was waiting for them was a spear scimitar! Every Jurchen soldier was crawling out of the sea of corpses and blood. Since the southern expedition, they have been like a bamboo, and they will never take any Song army in their eyes!

The sword and shield hand who waited for work at ease couldn't even defeat this golden army at the end of the crossbow! Xu Wei was shocked, and his heart was on fire! Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of the Jin cavalry behind him showing signs of retreating, raised his sword, and roared: "Archer, get on!" ”

At this time, of course, the archers will not shoot arrows. At the time of training, Xu Wei, at the suggestion of his father, equipped each archer with a hand knife. If the battle goes well, the archers will naturally not join the battle, but once the stalemate is deadlocked, the archers will also have to do it!

Under the command of the envoy, nearly 1,000 archers carried bows on their backs, took off the hanging hand knives from their waists, and detoured on both wings under the leadership of the capital to cut off the retreat of the Jin army. The victory was still unclear, although the sword and shield men used heavy shields as cover, desperately chopped the horse's legs, and when they fell, they slashed at the chest of the cavalry! But the Jurchens are still resisting, and there is no chaos at all!

Xu Wei took a sip, his eyes were blood-red! Hiss roared, "******! Yang Yan! If you don't die, if you don't die, you will go up! ”

Yang Yan's infantry, after the reorganization, was all equipped with heavy armor and thick swords and giant axes, and heard Xu Wei's order. Take the lead, join the formation with a curved blade gun, and give the order to move forward!
