The sound of horses' hooves shattered and the trumpets sounded. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The sound of rumbling footsteps was deafening, and the earth rose and fell slightly like a breeze on the water surface in the footsteps of thousands of people.

It was noon, and Liu Guangshi's Huaixi Army finally arrived.

On the watchtower, Wang Shen clung to the railing tightly with his hands, and tried his best to poke his head out to look at the situation in the distance.

Since that rainstorm fell, the weather has been getting cooler every day. Even though the sun was shining on the body and the wind was blowing, it blew through the whole body, and it was very cold.

In the first three miles, the red flag flew in the air like a flame, making Liu Guangshi's army seem to be bathed in a sea of fire.

At the forefront, there were groups of cavalry shuttling back and forth, these were the sentry agents of the Song army, they were sparsely formed, constantly passing in front of the ramparts of the plain town, and then running away with a roar, showing off their strength and detecting news, and the speed was amazing.

Behind the scout cavalry were infantry phalanxes that were slowly advancing forward. Swords and guns are like a forest, and the flags are constantly waving and conveying information.

They were all dressed in armor of varying lightness, but all of them were painted black, which made the Huaixi army look like a flood after the levee burst.

In addition to the infantry, there were also a large number of siege equipment, and catapults, rushing carts, and goose carts were moving staggeringly like cattle.

Even if he didn't know anything about the Cold Weapon War, Wang Shen could calculate that the Huaixi Army had launched many more soldiers and horses today than Li Yuqian's army that attacked Pingyuan Town a few days ago. I saw that in an instant, the entire eye was filled with infantry. There were spears on all sides, and they were all sergeants advancing in this direction, and the ranks seemed to be endless.

Previously, after carrying the 10,000 Jinan army with two hundred divine arm bowmen and crossbow soldiers, Wang Shen had the illusion that what he had experienced was nothing more than a well-made and realistic game, and no matter how many enemies there were, they were just monsters who came to send equipment and experience. All you have to do is keep fighting until you kill them all.

But now when I see the Huaixi Army, a voice sounded in my heart: I will die, I will definitely die.

Yes, this is the real army, the real battlefield. Compared with the well-equipped and well-trained regular troops of this era, Li Yujun was a group of homeless people called Huazi.

In this kind of highly professional battlefield where tens of thousands of people work together and perform their own duties, the power of individuals seems to be so small.

Even if you are asked to be the commander of the first army, let alone command the battle, you can't understand the situation of the entire battlefield.

The book is shallow, and the war scenes on TV are all deceitful. If you really fall into such a scene, what else can you do but be shocked and lose your breath?

In the past, Wang Shen felt that fighting was actually like that, but now that he thinks about it, he really underestimated the ancients. If one of these two armies is directly handed over to his current self, let alone commanding the battle, what to do next is a blind eye.

Originally, Wang Shen had no other thoughts after crossing over to this troubled world, only thinking about how to get out of here, and then flee to the south to spend this life safely. At this moment, seeing the grand scene of the cold weapon war, I couldn't help but be fascinated, and a pride surged in my chest: This is the real army, the real war! The commander of an army, the order goes down, tens of millions of people fight to the death, the husband should be like this!

If I really want to engage in the profession of marching, there is still a long way to go, and there is still a lot of knowledge to learn.

The Huaixi Army was at the bottom of the army of the four generals of Zhongxing in the Southern Song Dynasty, and Liu Guangshi was also a famous long-legged general, and he already had such a might. I don't know what the Yue family army and the Jurchen iron cavalry look like.

"At least 20,000 people, and at least 5,000 main soldiers. Hmph, Liu Guangshi sent his main force to attack, this Liu Taiwei is really anxious. Next to him, Li Cheng smiled faintly: "Uncle Liu Ping and I are old rivals, and we have fought more than a dozen games one after another, winning and losing." However, it really seems that he is always the one who suffers, right? Come and don't be rude, let's also prepare, don't let people take someone lightly. ”

His laughter was full of pride, and indeed, in the past few years, Li Chengcheng has been Liu Guangshi's nightmare, and he has played extremely smoothly in every fight. If it weren't for the fierce general Wang De desperately rescued him, Taiwei Liu would have been a prisoner of Li Cheng two years earlier.

For Liu Guangshi, Li Cheng has a strong psychological advantage, including his subordinates.

Hearing this laughter, Wang Shen came to his senses, turned his head to look, and was shocked and admired.

Since the occupation of Pingyuan Town, in just three days, Li Chengjun has built strong fortifications. A wall rises from the ground, and there are long exhibitions and arrow towers and lookouts in front of them. A simple trench was dug at the front, and a deer and a horse were erected, which shows the execution and combat effectiveness of Li Cheng's military horses.

In Li Chengjun's army, gongs and drums sounded, flags flew, and one order after another was passed through the crowd. Similarly, Li Chengjun also set up a catapult. The catapults had already been packed in boxes, and the soldiers were now erecting them behind the fence.

Groups of Li Chengjun poured out of the tent and gathered behind the fence, helping each other to put on armor amid the sound of the officers' orders. At the front were pikemen, their spears resting against the fence like swollen hedgehogs. Behind the pikemen were layers of archers, all armed with foot bows and white feathered arrows on their backs.

Like the Huaixi Army, Li Cheng's army also absorbed a large number of soldiers from the Western Army, and it can be said that the old foundations of the two armies are all Sanqin warriors, and they also use the same method of fighting from Fan Zhongyan Fan Da Laozi to the old and small races.

In the past, the western army lacked horses, and if it wanted to resist the attack of the northern steppe nomads, it had to rely on bows and arrows. Therefore, the crossbowmen in the army accounted for six or seven percent.

However, crossbowmen have strict requirements for the physical fitness of their soldiers, and training is not easy, and they need to be well-equipped. After Jingkang, the Western Army was completely annihilated, and it was no longer possible to form such a large bow and crossbow army. Therefore, the archers of the two armies in front of them have been reduced to only two or three percent, and more are light infantry.

The luxurious infantry group before Jingkang has also completely disappeared in the long river of history.

For a time, the attacker came like a raging wave, and the defender was as solid as a rock, and the spirit of slaughter was full of wilderness.

Unlike Wang Shen, who had a shocked face, Lu Can, who was standing beside him, was full of excitement, and his lips trembled slightly: "I'm a big Song...... This is the army of my Great Song Dynasty. ”

Yes, the Huaixi Army was originally the strongest army in Jianghuai, and now Li Chengjun, who is half a point stronger in combat effectiveness, has been recruited, even if the Jurchens invade the south after the autumn, it is not a problem to hold Jianghuai. Since Jingkang, the imperial court has been defeated repeatedly, and now it has finally pulled up a strong army, and there is a faint atmosphere of Zhongxing.

Suddenly, there was a general Li Chengjun under the watchtower who was dressed all over his body and shouted: "Crossbowman, open the bow and set up the arrow, raise two fingers, and prepare to shoot!" ”

More than a thousand archers shot arrows out of their hands.

With a "thunderclap", the entire sky instantly turned black, and the ears were full of sharp "booms".

Then, the sky lit up again. A thousand arrows fell to the ground and stuck in the open space between the two armies, densely packed like a field of wheat.

The Huaixi army on the opposite side saw the archers firing a volley here, and the whole large array paused, and then moved forward with a "bang" in the urging of the drums.

Lu Can was shocked: "Stop shooting, stop shooting, General Li, you have already been recruited, and you are already an official of our Great Song Dynasty, how can your own people beat your own people?" ”

Before the words fell, the officer below shouted again: "Second arrow, raise three fingers, prepare - shoot!" ”

A strong wind suddenly blew overhead, and the sound of "Xiuxiu" was still in my ears.

A thousand arrows glided in graceful arcs across the sky, falling farther away, nailed to the clearing.

The officer was tall and carried a short axe on his back, and the pestle was as straight as an iron tower. This person was introduced by Li Cheng, and it was Ma Jin, the first fierce general in the army.

Ma Jin is the ruler of Li Cheng's former army, the chief general of the crossbowman, and the strongest martial artist in the army. It was also his life that he suffered and met the strongest military god of this era, in fact, among his contemporaries, there were really few people who could be stronger than him.

Lu Can still kept shouting: "General Li Cheng, you can't fight, you can't fight." ”

Wang Shen smiled, grabbed him, and said, "Ziyu, General Ma Jin is demarcating the standard injection boundary, don't worry, you can't fight." ”

Li Cheng turned his head and glanced at Wang Shen and nodded: "Exactly." ”

The so-called demarcation of the demarcation of the demarcation boundary means that in front of the station, the long-range projection weapon must first be tested for two rounds to measure the firing range and landing point of the weapon. In this way, once the battle starts, the target can be accurately set. There are no accurate measuring tools in cold weapon warfare, and if you change to modern warfare, such as heavy machine guns, burst weapons, you will be able to adjust the angle.

As he was talking, he saw Li Chengjun's arrows raining down, and the Huaixi army stopped, stopping beyond the range of bows and arrows.

The red flag on the opposite side was still rolling and flying in the wind, and dust filled the sky.

Suddenly, the large array parted on both sides, and a group of cavalry rushed out. The leader is a middle-aged man in a Confucian robe, and behind him there is a knight holding a cyan canopy, which is quite calm and chic.

After the scribe broke out of the formation, he did not charge forward, but turned his horse's head and swept in front of the Huaixi army. Keep pointing the whip in his hand towards the big array beside him.

Every time the whip fell, where it was pointed, all the Song soldiers raised their weapons and shouted loudly: "Tai Lieutenant, Tai Lieutenant!" ”

A clump of bushes, one after another, shaped like waves.

This person is naturally the commander of the Huaixi Army, Jiangdong Xuanfu envoy Liu Guangshi.

In an instant, the momentum of the Huaixi Army was like a rainbow, and Liu Guangshi's might could be seen. If those who do not know him see the situation before them, they will be angry.

However, as his old opponent, Li Cheng disdainfully "snorted" and said to Wang Shen and Lu Can: "This Uncle Liu Ping likes to come to this kind of hypocrisy." made such a big battle, and I was not afraid that I would take away the banner of his Chinese army with light horses. Okay, now that so-and-so has been recruited, let's go and meet with this titular official. ”

After that, he went down the watchtower with Wang Shen and Lu Can, rode on a war horse, and walked out of the gate with two guards with his bare hands, rolled up the rolling yellow dust and ran forward, shouting with all his strength as he ran: "It's Uncle Liu Ping who came, and a certain is Li Cheng, can you come to meet before the battle?" ”

As soon as he shouted, thousands of soldiers in the camp behind him also repeated his words loudly, and the sound came forward with the flashes of arrows and weapons.

Seeing Li Cheng rushing towards with light horses, the Huaixi army on the opposite side was slightly commotion, and when he saw Liu Guangshi on the horse, he hurriedly ran back to the formation, and the canopy that hit him was also crooked.

Wang Shen used to play in the Jockey Club for a while, and equestrianism is the standard for so-called successful people, and his skills are quite passable. However, there has been a time when I have not ridden a horse in the world, and this time I am in the saddle, and I am still a little worried in my heart, for fear of making a fool of myself. But he didn't want to, Li Chengjun's war horses were even better trained than the racing horses of later generations, riding on them, his body rose and fell, but it was like taking root. This is not surprising, unlike horse racing, cavalry on the battlefield is only a dead word, and the training of war horses in peacetime is more severe than in later generations.

After all, he has suffered many big losses at the hands of Li Cheng, and Liu Guangshi is also a little stunned when he thinks about it, no matter how Li Cheng screams, he refuses to come out.

After a while, a team of archers came out of the Huaixi army, lined up in front of the formation, and rounded their bows and fingers.

Li Cheng smiled again, stopped his horse outside the firing range, and continued to shout: "Uncle Liu Ping, I have received the holy decree of the official family and received Zhao'an, and I am now also an official of the Great Song Dynasty, I haven't seen you for a while, and I miss it very much in my heart." Why don't you take two people to talk about it in front of the battle? ”

After shouting for a long time, the opposite side suddenly moved again, and tens of thousands of soldiers slowly moved forward.

Li Cheng frowned: "It seems that Liu Guangshi refuses to meet with a certain person, so let's go back first, and I have to fight a battle left and right first, and I can only speak after beating him up." ”

Seeing that he was about to turn the horse's head back, and seeing that there was an unprecedented bloody battle right away, Lu Can suddenly rushed out with a "driving".

One of the guards beside Li Cheng set up a bow and arrow.

Li Chengyi grabbed his hand: "No." ”

Seeing Lu Can rushing out, Wang Shen was shocked: Lu Can has fled, am I also fleeing, as long as I flee to the Huaixi Army, won't I be free...... No, no, Anniang, they are still in Li Cheng's hands. If I leave, they won't survive, how can a husband do such a thing?

Lu Can rode a horse and galloped, waving his hands and shouting with all his strength: "Don't shoot arrows, don't shoot arrows, your own people, your own people, Uncle Ping, Uncle Ping, it's me, it's me, I'm Lu Can, I'm Lu Can......"

The archers at the front saw him rushing and were about to defend themselves against the arrows, when there was a sound of gongs behind him, followed by several more flags.

The Huaixi Army archers put down their bows and divided a passage.

Lu Can rushed in along this passage and disappeared into the vast sea of people in an instant.

The Huaixi army was closer, closer, and there seemed to be a moving city wall in front of him, and Wang Shenhan's hair stood up.

Li Cheng had already turned the horse's head, smiling rather than smiling: "Ambassador Wang, why don't you leave?" ”

Wang Shen smiled bitterly in his heart: I want to leave, but you have to let An Niang and Yue Yun go first.

"I can't go because of my duty."

Li Cheng nodded: "It's okay." Lu Can, a mustard-like character, is dead or alive, but he doesn't care about it. If it were you, a certain person would not hesitate to shoot with an arrow. ”

With that, he suddenly drew the big bow on his back, took an arrow, and shot forward at a forty-five-degree angle.
