Chapter 229: The Red Flag Sweeps the West Wind (1)
The banner behind him has been torn to shreds by the flying arrows. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Li Hong's mouth was dry, and every time he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, he could taste the bitter smell of blood, and his eyes were all red and black.
What is black is the intertwined figures of the two sides of the fierce battle, and the soldiers of the right colonel charging and the raiding force of this Sizhou army have been completely mixed together, and they can no longer distinguish each other. They all shouted loudly, and threw their weapons at the enemy, and when the weapons broke, they took off their helmets and fought them for their lives. Even with fists and teeth, everyone hugged each other and rolled down the hillside.
Red is hot human blood. A lot of blood flowed downward. The loose ground has been completely soaked with blood, and when a person's foot steps on it, it clicks, and it is ankle-deep. In a few moments, the hillside was trampled into a rotten vegetable patch, slippery three times in one step.
Yes, the enemy's forces are at a disadvantage, but they have a ruthless spirit. It's like a coil of spring, which is easily compressed with a single force. However, as soon as you breathe a sigh of relief, they will bounce back in an instant and bite you hard.
In a trance, Li Hong remembered the situation when he fought against the Jurchens in the Tokyo Left-behind Division. On one occasion he commanded 2,000 men and horses to surround about 100 Tartars in a village, and fought for a day, but they could not be eaten alive. When it was dark, he was suddenly rushed out by the Jurchens. In that battle, he paid the price of more than 200 lives, and the morale of the troops almost collapsed. In the end, no matter how he ordered, his subordinates refused to rush again.
The situation now is so similar to that time, although the strength of his troops is several times that of this Sizhou army, and he has a geographical advantage. Still, the enemy was not afraid of his life and was pouring in endlessly.
They held their shields high and held high the red flag, and they rushed at the scene without regard for their lives, which was simply desperate.
There were people everywhere, and the entire hillside was covered with human bodies, and it was squirming slightly, as if it had come to life.
His soldiers were already frightened, and their steps began to hesitate, and some of them even turned their heads to find a way to escape.
The golden people are less than 10,000, and the 10,000 people are invincible.
The Sizhou army was less than 10,000 people, and they were inferior to the Jurchens in size and strength. But the spirit of not fearing death and the murderous spirit are not much inferior.
Perhaps, in a few years, there will be no army in this world that can force the frontal impact of Wang Daosi.
In an instant, Li Hong actually had the idea of withdrawing the troops to take a breath.
Anyway, Zhang Yong's eldest brother has a lot of soldiers, and the right colonel has no strength to charge the cavalry, and the enemy below is not much better. If you bring another new force up, you might be able to beat them back.
However, in an instant, Li Hong felt that his idea was so ridiculous.
On the main battlefield on the other side, the main infantry of the Sizhou Army had broken several formations in a row, and it was about to squash Zhang Yong's Changhong array. If it weren't for the large number of people, the Changhong Array would have been completely destroyed by others.
Now, both sides are in a stalemate, and it's up to them to see who can hold out. If you hold on, you can get a hearty victory.
The most terrible thing is that Wang Daosi's cavalry has not yet been dispatched. They are probably waiting for my right colonel here to collapse, be beaten out of a passage, and then detour back to Zhang's Chinese army!
If I retreat, at this juncture of the transition between offense and defense, the cunning Wang Shen will definitely not let go of this opportunity. As long as his cavalry rushes up, who can resist it?
Besides, Zhang Yong really trusts me Li Hong.
After I lost all my troops, Brother Zhang not only did not fall into the ground, but entrusted me with a heavy responsibility. First of all, let me lead the front army at the top of the large array to resist the frontal attack of the Sizhou army. Seeing that the right colonel was in danger, he asked me to come over to maintain it.
He really treats me as a brother!
The so-called, the one who is a confidant dies. Let's use this life to repay his kindness today!
"Fight back, everyone throws in the fight back and drives the Sizhou people down!"
He was about to order the overseer to kill a few more people.
Suddenly, I saw a shout in front of me, and all the soldiers threw away their weapons and fled back without their lives.
There are so many people that they are really defeated. Not only could the overseers not be restrained, but they were staggered by the rout.
"What's going on......" Li Hong looked fixedly, but saw a red flag rising high. Under the red flag, a high-ranking officer of the Sizhou army was taking the lead, leading all his subordinates to kill upwards without their lives.
The mace in his hand didn't have any rules, so he lifted it up and smashed it forward. Every time it fell, it brought up a cloud of blood mist.
It's him.
It was the enemy general who had not been killed by an arrow before.
Li Hong shouted and drew his bow, drew a circle, and shot another arrow.
However, a figure pounced in front of the enemy general, and then fell limply.
Then another arrow, and then another guard for the enemy general.
The third arrow, still so.
"Kill the thief, kill the thief!" Seeing that the three guards died so miserably, the soldiers of the Sizhou Army shouted angrily at the same time, and the loud shouts echoed in the field.
Li Hong's hands trembled, and at the moment when he shot the three arrows, the enemy general's feet had already stepped on the highest part of the hillside.
With a sweep of the mace, a soldier of Zhang Yongjun was flattened with armor.
But at the same time, he was also stabbed twice in the waist, and blood was scattered everywhere with his steps.
But he still waved his heavy weapon vigorously, and continued to shout: "Sizhou Army, Sizhou Army-"
"No. 1 in the world!"
……
When have you ever seen such an enemy who does not care about life and death.
A cold snap arose from the bottom of his heart, causing goosebumps to break out all over Li Hong's body.
"What a warrior, I'm going to lose!"
"However, even if you want to lose, you can't retreat. Otherwise, what face do I, Li Hong, have to meet the alliance leader's eldest brother? ”
"Come on, I'll give you a good time. Or, you give Lao Tzu a good time! ”
Immediately, Li Hong gathered more than 100 daredevils from the battle team, probably formed a phalanx, and headed towards Wu Xianxian.
……
Yellow birch bows, long-tip bows, short-tip bows, and divine arm bows, all ears are full of the hum of bowstrings.
Arrows rain down, and there is no distinction between friend and foe.
The soldiers in the front row on both sides fell to the ground in an instant, and they didn't even have time to let out a muffled snort. No one gave them that much of a look, and they all rushed forward with their companions' bodies.
The Divine Arm Crossbow Archer throws the crossbow at the same time, drawing its sword forward. The archers were still shooting the arrows in the sack as fast as they could.
The distance between the two sides is only twenty or thirty paces, and in some places they are still mixed with each other and it is not clear to distinguish them. However, at this time, the shooters on both sides did not bother to score. Everyone is wearing all kinds of armor, these armors are the standard equipment of the Great Song Dynasty official army before Jingkang, after so many years of bloody battles, I don't know how many times it has been repaired. However, it is still thick and sturdy.
In ranged attacks, the rain of arrows will not do much damage. However, because it was too close, once the arrow was hit, it still lost its strength in an instant.
The soldiers in the front rows on both sides fell like lightning strikes, one and then another.
In this way, the soldiers on both sides gritted their teeth and endured, slowly approaching.
"Boom!" The last of the two armies finally collided, and spears and sticks fell at the same time.
Li Hong roared, and the flail was whipped into the face of an enemy, and there was a crisp sound, which was the sound of the enemy's skull shattering. He didn't know how many times he had pulled it out, and his calloused palms were grinding hotly and painfully. Maybe it's already a bubble, but who cares about it now?
Suddenly, an enemy stretched out his hand, grabbed the flail, rolled on the spot, and snatched the weapon from his hand. Of course, in this kind of chaotic battlefield, once you fall to the ground, you have no chance to stand up.
Murderous, this is no longer human!
Li Hong was furious, snatched a long-handled broadsword, and used all his strength to slash down. The company slashed a rushing Sizhou soldier diagonally in two. The blood was like a spring, rising to the sky, drenching the iron armor of the people below with red blood beads rolling. Another Sizhou soldier stabbed out with a shot, but behind Li Hong, a daredevil's scream threw the chain hammer over and hit him in the face.
The spearman of the Sizhou army fainted suddenly.
Li Hong's face was full of enemy blood, some of which had dried into black spots, and some of which were still dripping, drawing red lines on his face. This made him look extremely hideous: "I am Li Hong, Li Hong, the commander of the Tokyo Left-behind Division, and a good man trained by Grandpa Zong." As long as Li has a breath of air, no one will be able to enter my military formation. Unless, stepping on Grandpa's corpse. ”
Although he is already a rogue, although the officers and soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty are on the other side. Li Hong is still proud of himself for being a warrior under the command of Zong Ze and Duke Ru Lin.
That was the coolest time of my life.
After saying this, he spit out a mouthful of bloody saliva, and shouted with all his strength: "Who is the general with the army on the other side, and can you dare to fight me face to face?" ”
Over there, Wu Xianxian also yelled, and knocked the guards protecting him to the side with his shoulder: "Get out of the way, get out of the way, Li Hong is grandpa's, no one is allowed to rob it!" Straight lady thief, regard my Sizhou army as no one! Li Hong, Sizhou Shengjie Army commanded Wu Xianxian to fight with you. Today, you and I will never die! ”
……
In the back, under the banner of the Sizhou Army, everyone raised their heads and looked into the distance.
The whole battlefield was full of people, and everywhere was rushing blood.
The grandeur of the cold weapon war, the high-spirited blood of men is overwhelming, forcing people to breathe.
Li Heng's face was still pale, although he had experience in leading troops, when had he ever seen such a battle.
Such a battlefield is already on the scale of a national war. The two armies in front of us, on the one hand, are the elite of the former Tokyo Left-behind Division, and on the other hand, the Sizhou Army, which has been the most brave and good at fighting in the past year. In the final analysis, they are or have been the main force of my Great Song Dynasty.
My Great Song army can still fight, but ...... Since the declaration of peace, in all foreign wars, why did they lose so badly?
What went wrong?
