Chapter 177: Brothers Gather

, under the Shenwei Mountain, the kings of the Zhao and Song dynasties slept together! Before, the two armies of Song and Jin were compared with each other

Xu Yuan showed his talents to the fullest, and discharged an extremely rigorous formation, he commanded in the center, and Xu Sheng led the front army to fight to the death with the Jurchens. Li Hui, the signing minister, abandoned the city and fled. There was no commander in the army for a while, and all the generals had the intention of fleeing. The brothers of the Xu family knew that one was righteous, and the other was to sacrifice military law, so that the rebellious army could be suppressed. But even so. In the face of Sticky Han's army of a hundred battles, Chang Jie's army still fought extremely hard, not to mention that the Jin army was twice as large as himself.

Since the northern captives entered the territory of Gongxian County, the Song and Jin armies fought bloody battles day by day, fighting until they existed, and only less than 20,000 of the more than 30,000 Changjie remained. Attrition is very heavy. Xu Yuan knew in his heart that if he continued to consume like this, within today, the Song army would be defeated. But there is no way, not to mention that behind it is the imperial capital of Tokyo, it is on the side, the first emperors of all dynasties are buried here, if the imperial tomb is excavated and destroyed by the Jin army, this crime, as a military minister, he absolutely can't afford it.

"Report! All over! The Jin army is attacking fiercely, and our army will run out of arrows! The former sergeant Pegasus came to report, but Xu Yuan did not react. He had already seen that the Jurchens had torn apart the guns in front of the Song army, and the two armies fell into a melee. Judging from his experience in fighting with the Jin army, if the bow and crossbow failed to cause heavy losses to the other party before the hand-to-hand engagement, once the right one was caught and killed, the Song army would collapse sooner or later.

Just thinking about countermeasures, he suddenly heard the sound of hooves, and the soldiers of the main formation were in a commotion, and they all looked to the west. Thousands of Jurchen light horses galloped in! The Song army lacked cavalry, mainly infantry bows and crossbows, and formation was inevitable. But no matter what kind of formation it is, it is a passive defensive nature, and you can only wait for the opponent to fight. So. The most feared thing is that when the war is stalemate, it will be attacked on the flank. Once the formation of the infantry is chaotic, it is impossible to block the charge of the cavalry!

Fortunately, he and Jin Jun fought several times in Li Gudu and the pay battle, and gradually figured out the other party's routine. Before the formation, this hand was already guarded, and thousands of pikemen were placed on each wing, hundreds of warriors with swords and shields and heavy armor, and then leaned against Shenwei Mountain behind them, which could be regarded as seamless.

But what he didn't expect was that the golden cavalry that came from the flank was led by the young general of the golden camp, and the Jurchen iron cavalry was extremely brave. And. It's not that we haven't seen the cavalry of the Jin Army, and it's not uncommon for people to wear armor, but this cavalry even has iron armor on its horses, turning a blind eye to the tip of the spear like a forest, and rushing straight over! Chang Jiejun was personally formed by Tong Guan back then, known as the first in the two rivers, can it be regarded as elite, right? But as soon as he saw it, he was scattered by the golden horses of the human harness. The sword and shield pounced on it heavily, but to no avail, watching the other party break straight into the Chinese army. The formation was in chaos for a while, and the army's heart was immediately shaken! The generals around him all persuaded Xu Yuan to escape!

"I can't stand it! All over! Withdraw, if you delay for a while, your life will not be saved! ”

Xu Yuan turned a deaf ear. Suddenly, I caught a glimpse of a general in the chaotic army, went to Doujian, revealed his true face, and fought hard with a moon-covering knife, where the knife fell, flesh and blood flew sideways! Who is not the fourth brother Xu Sheng? He deliberately let the soldiers see him to boost morale! The second uncle gave birth to two sons!

As a mistake, as the commander, he tore off the battle robe he was wearing, brushed the long beard on his chest, looked around at the generals and said: "The mausoleum is here, if there is a mistake, there will be no atonement for his sins!" Today's things are only death! ”

"They are all the main generals in the army, and there is no room for mistakes! In case of accidents, the country will lose a pillar! "The general grabbed him and persuaded him! As he spoke, the right flank was completely smashed by the Jin army, and the main position of the Chinese army was also in danger!

Ants are still stealing life. How much more about people? But Xu Yuan knew it very well in his heart. Li Hui abandoned the city and fled without permission, after going back. At most, he was demoted and exiled, because he was a civil servant. But if you lose the county, you lose the mausoleum. It is highly likely that he and Xu Sheng will be punished by military law because he is a military minister!

"I've made up my mind. You don't need to say anything more! If there are those who are persuaded to quit, they will be killed immediately! Today is the place where I died in battle, but I have my brother Xu Wei, and I will avenge my brother! Xu Yuan said that, and ordered his own soldiers to fetch the phoenix beak utensils. His subordinates were encouraged by him and expressed their willingness to follow the battle to the death. At this moment, the iron cavalry of the Jin Army, which broke into the Chinese army, saw the handsome banner, and the feather arrows kept shooting!

Pity this Chang Jie army, known as the first in the two rivers, can still resist the tens of thousands of golden soldiers in front of it, but it was disrupted by the cavalry attacking from the flank, and for a while, the men and horses trampled on each other, wailing everywhere. Xu Yuan's face suddenly changed greatly, because he saw that in the front army formation, the fourth brother Xu Sheng dismounted!

"Kill!" The concubine shouted loudly, and the surrounding soldiers roared in response.

"Woe to you! There is an enemy cavalry attacking on the left flank! This exclamation made the hearts of all the generals tremble! Xu Yuan looked at it urgently. Sure enough, there were more than 1,000 horsemen galloping on the left flank! The soldiers who had finally mustered up the courage to follow the Lord and fight to the death were terrified at this time, and they had the heart to escape!

Xu Yuan closed his eyes in pain, and as soon as Gongxian was lost, the Jin army could drive straight into Zhengzhou, and then enter Tokyo. Huazhou must not be broken, by that time, the previous efforts were abandoned, the Great Song Dynasty, just that, he was ordered to lead the army to come. Do not take a step back, but what is the sin of the soldiers? Now that it is a certain situation, it is better to let them escape.

"All of them! Look! Just as Xu Yuan was desperate, he roared with joy, and when he suddenly opened his eyes, Xu Yuan was shocked! But instead of impacting, the cavalry that attacked from the left flank bypassed the Song army's large array and rushed behind the Jin army's infantry that was advancing step by step, and launched a fierce attack!

There is one who rushes to the front, and his stature is extremely large. Riding a jujube red horse and using an iron spear, once it breaks into the formation, it is like a tiger entering a flock, and it can even provoke the Jin soldiers to a foot high! It's so fierce! The cavalry of the department are also brave! Now. The frontal Jin infantry and the Song army had just engaged in battle, and had not yet started to mix.

was killed by more than 1,000 horsemen, and the offensive was immediately blocked!

"That's not right! Dutong, this is my Changjie Ma Army! Aribu General yelled.

What the? Chang Jie Ma Army? After Chang Jie's army returned to the north of the Emperor Taishang, it was dispersed and disposed of, and it was divided into generals. Now he leads: more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, that is, Changjie elite transferred from Huazhou, who else holds Changjie's strong team?

"The general of the long spear is called Yang Zaixing! This is Yao Pingzhong's reinforcements! Chang Jie shouted loudly. Yao Pingzhong? Isn't he under the tent of Zheyan in Huazhou? How did you come to Gong County? Could it be that the imperial court was afraid that I would lose and sent troops to reinforce me?

Whenever the war is stalemate, or when the war is unfavorable, the side that receives reinforcements, no matter how many, can often restore morale. At present, Xu Yuan's army saw that there was a horse army to rescue him, and all the soldiers who had the intention of fleeing turned around and fought again. The frontal troops of the Jin Army, instead of pushing further, retreated step by step!

The ironclad iron soldiers who could break through from the right flank were too strong, and their men and horses were heavily armoured, and they could not penetrate with swords and guns. Rushing into the formation, the Divine Arm Bow is useless. rushed from right to left, all the way to the bamboo, and I hated Xu Yuan's teeth so much!

"The frontal enemy has retreated!"

Attacked by reinforcements, and desperately counterattacked by Chang Jie's foot soldiers, the frontal Jin infantry was finally defeated and began to retreat. The ministry general suggested chasing and killing, Xu Yuan stopped in a hurry! Ordered the iron cavalry of the Najin army to be surrounded. Stuck in the middle of the battle! But after the more than 1,000 heavy horsemen rushed out from the left flank. He didn't turn back, turned his horse's head and went to the Jin army's formation. It seems that they are also afraid of being surrounded and losing their mobility.

"Quick! Reorganize the formation! "The Songhui will be fleeting, if you don't take this opportunity to form a strict formation again, the Jin army will attack again later!" The name is still justified, but now it is past noon, and the soldiers who have experienced the bloody battle are hungry and very tired. But Xu Yuan gave an order, and the soldiers moved when they heard the sound. Clean up the corpses of your comrades and quickly reorganize the formation. Looking a thousand steps away, Jin Jun was doing the same thing. Gather the cavalry, rectify the footmen, look at this appearance, and vow not to give up if you don't take Gongxian today.

Xu Sheng's face was covered with blood, his left side was swollen and half of the arrow shaft was inserted, he hit the horse to the main formation of the Chinese army, and said loudly: "Xu Dutong, the front army is finished!" ”

Xu Yuan saw that his younger brother was wounded by an arrow, and although he was concerned in his heart, he was a brother at home and a subordinate on the expedition. I can't ask for any selfishness, so I said: "Qin Chen is hard! ”

Xu Sheng clenched his fists, didn't say much, pulled the reins and left, suddenly stopped, pointed to the left wing and said, "Who is under the command of that horse army?" If it weren't for their help, we would be in danger today! ”

Xu Yuan also felt strange that after the more than 1,000 horse troops killed the Jin army, they gathered on the left flank of the large array to protect it. I also don't come to report the military status. immediately replied: "It is said to be Chang Jie's horse army, and the general who leads the army is called Yang Zaixing, and it is said to be Yao Pingzhong's subordinate." ”

Xu Sheng frowned when he heard this, Yao Xiyan? It can't be, right? Others don't know, but they know that Yao Pingzhong has always looked down on my ninth brother and is often dissatisfied. Will he come to our brother's aid? If this is true. That Yao Pingzhong can be described as a clear distinction between right and wrong. Public and private are clear, worthy of the word "heroic".

"Look! Reinforcements are coming again! The sergeants shouted one after another, and it was difficult to hide the excitement in their tones! Everyone looked to the south, and sure enough, they saw a tide of soldiers coming, and the generals on horseback shouted from time to time for command. Therefore, although there are many people, they are not scattered. The spearmen carrying their long spears ran ahead, and the sonorous sound of heavy armor was shocking. Then, archers with bows and pots on their backs rushed in. I can't see the end at a glance!

After that, the soldiers of Xu Yuan's army were overjoyed. Heavy infantry lined up in neat formations, shields in one hand. With a sword and axe in one hand and a neat slogan, he pushed forward like a wall. The sound was like thunder. Its momentum is like a galloping horse, it is really indestructible, and it is impregnable!

"Big brother, then, isn't that Yang Yan?" Xu Sheng saw that next to the heavy team, there was a general wearing armor. The helmet is sprinkled with red tassels, and the big gun with a curved blade is majestic!

"Which Yang Yan?" Xu Yuan asked.

"It's Yang Yan from Xujiazhuang, the ninth brother's playmate!" Xu Sheng shouted.

Who? Ninth brother? Xu Wei? No need for Xu Sheng to answer. Because the answer is already out. Immediately after the heavy infantry, a group of men and horses followed up without hurry, and a large banner was waved in the wind, on which were clearly written. "Loyal and brave Xu Wei"!
