Chapter 67: Han Shunfu
At this time, the sky will be dark, and the twilight will be like smoke, shrouding the positions of the two armies, like the souls of the dead soldiers, still guarding this land.
Zong Bi talked eloquently. "Monk Zhihun , General Meng, and the general who made the big sword, the three of you are all warriors, and they are rare warriors in your Song Kingdom. I, Yan Zongbi, have always admired warriors the most. The court of the Song Kingdom was heavy on literature and light on military force, corrupt and incompetent, so why did you work hard for the court? Of course, I also understand that you are working for Yue Fei now. But Yue Fei is just a mud leg from Xiangzhou, and he has no destiny to set the world at all. Now that the battle situation is obvious, if you continue to resist, there is only one way to die. Why don't you abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and return to my Dajin court. I promise to let you enjoy the glory and wealth. Not only you, but also your family. I wonder what you think? ”
Master Zhihun and Meng An glanced at each other, and both of them were extremely surprised. They didn't expect Zong Bi to reach this point, and they even wanted to persuade them to surrender. Meng An laughed, but unfortunately his voice was hoarse and he couldn't laugh at all.
Zhihun broke one of his left hands, and although it was bandaged with a cloth, he lost too much blood, which still made Zhihun face pale. Zhihun took a breath and shouted, "Zongbi, Hugh has to talk nonsense again." Although he is a monk, he has never believed that he can become a Buddha by putting down the butcher knife. A murderous beast like you, don't say that it will surrender to you, that is, if you are under the sun with you, the old monk will feel ashamed. If you want to fight, we will continue to fight. There were only the Protectors who died in battle, and there were no Protectors who surrendered. ”
"There are only the Protectors who died in battle, and there are no Protectors who surrendered!"
More than 10,000 people were shouting in unison, and the sound was heard for nine days, and it was directly suppressed by Xingyun.
Zong Bi's face changed, and he sneered, "Since you don't know what to do, Lao Tzu will fulfill you." Don't think that when it gets dark, you can escape back to Caozhou. Boys, light the torches! Hallyu, I'll give you 20,000 Han'er troops and kill all these Song pigs! ”
Hallyu is Han Chang's cousin and the position of the Han Er Army. What he admires most in his life is his cousin Han Chang, but now his cousin is lying in the camp to recuperate from his injuries, so Hallyu is determined to kill all the more than 10,000 protectors in front of him to compensate for his cousin Han Chang's eye.
is different from the Han'er Army of the Middle Route Army and the Western Route Army, the two route military horses just treat the Han'er Army as cannon fodder and servants. However, the Han'er Army on the East Road, because of the leadership of Han Chang, did not fall behind in combat compared with the ordinary Jin soldiers.
Hallyu looked at the Protectors by the bright light of the fire, and was about to attack. A fierce trumpet suddenly sounded in the northern part of Caozhou, and at the same time, bright fires lit up the night sky. Zong Bi frowned, "Hulihe, you take a thousand light horsemen and go to the north of the city to have a look!" ”
A thousand households led a thousand light horsemen, holding torches, and galloped straight to the north of the city. It took only half an hour for the three hundred light horsemen to run back at a gallop, even faster than when they went, and even lost all their torches. Because behind their buttocks, they were followed by more than a thousand cavalry guards.
These people's cavalry were obviously much more elite than the cavalry of Meng An and Zhihun , with distinctive armor and bright sabers. They chased until they were only a few hundred meters away from the Jin Bing Brigade before they reined in their horses.
The leading rider carried the hideous head of the sudden lihe and shouted, "The head of the golden dog Qianhu is here, which one dares to come and retrieve it?" ”
At this time, a light horse had already fled to Zong Bi's horse, and said carefully, "Deputy Marshal, the Wang Guibu of the Protector Army has arrived in the north of the city, and it is only five miles away from here. ”
"How many soldiers are there?" Zong Bi's brows furrowed, and he asked in a cold voice.
"About 20,000 men, 5,000 cavalry."
"Five thousand cavalry can defeat more than a thousand of my scouts in a moment?" Zong Bi's voice became colder. "When did my Golden Warrior become so unbearable?"
The light cavalry heard the murderous intent in Zong Bi's mouth, and immediately knelt on the ground, and said extremely carefully, "Fourth prince, Wang Guibu's cavalry is extremely strong, and suddenly he was killed by a thousand households. ”
Zong Bi no longer paid attention to this light horse. While ordering the Korean Wave to suspend the attack, he led hundreds of guards to the outside of the formation, and asked the cavalry general who killed Kulihe, "Are you Wang Gui?" ”
The rider threw Hu Lihe's head to the ground, glanced at Zong Bi with his eyes, and laughed, "If it were my big brother Wang Gui, none of your more than a thousand scouts would be able to escape." I am the commander of the cavalry under Commander Wang Gui, and Han Shunfu is also. Who are you? ”
Zong Bi glanced Han Shunfu up and down a few times, and said secretly, "It seems that this person's martial arts are not very high, but he is extremely arrogant. The proud will be greedy for merit. Why don't I kill him if I plan to frustrate Wang Gui's spirit. ”
Thinking of this, Zong Bi immediately shouted, "A little head of the regiment dares to be arrogant in front of me." I am the fourth prince of the Dajin Kingdom, Wanyan Zongbi. Do you dare to fight me? ”
When Han Shunfu heard that the Jin general in front of him turned out to be the fourth prince of the Jin Kingdom, his eyes immediately rolled. Han Shunfu said secretly, if I can kill the fourth prince of the Jin Kingdom, maybe I can also get a division commander to do it.
Han Shunfu was a brave and unscrupulous person, and when he returned to Caozhou, he took the initiative to ask Wang Gui to fight, asking to be a pioneer. Wang Gui felt that Han Shunfu was also a strong general, so he sent Han Shunfu a thousand light horsemen. In the battle with Kulihe just now, Han Shunfu slashed Kulihe, and his confidence suddenly soared. He thought that the generals in the Jin soldiers were all from the likes of Kulihe, so he actually agreed to Zong Bi's challenge.
Li Ying, the deputy commander of the cavalry who followed Han Shunfu, glanced at Zong Bi's mountain opening axe, and said with a little worry, "General Han, don't be careless!" This golden dog looks extremely fierce. ”
Han Shunfu glanced at Li Ying and said very unhappily, "Li Xiucai, you always think highly of the golden soldiers, but in fact, these golden soldiers are all paper tigers. Sit down here, and see that I have taken the bald head of this golden general. ”
Li Yingben was a scholar in the army, and he practiced swordsmanship for more than half a year, and his martial arts are still far from those of generals like Han Shunfu, who have been practicing martial arts since childhood. Li Ying also knew that Han Shunfu had always been arrogant, and he no longer persuaded him at the moment.
Han Shunfu shouted, urged his crotch to get off the war horse, and pounced on Zong Bi with a long knife. Zong Bi only slowly walked his war horse three feet away from the front of the battle, and then stopped moving. He held the mountain opening axe in his hand and quietly waited for Han Shunfu to kill.
said that it was too late, and then it was too fast, Han Shunfu rushed to Zong Bi's horse in a blink of an eye, and slashed down with a long knife in his hand on his head and face. At the same time, he exhaled and said, "Die for Lao Tzu!" ”
Zong Bi's eyes flashed, and the mountain axe flipped upward, stopping Han Shunfu's imposing sword. The mountain axe turned around the hilt, and the blade of the snowy axe had already slashed in front of Han Shunfu.
Han Shunfu only had time to scream miserably, and was cut in half by Zong Bi with an axe.
Li Ying also shouted in surprise, he didn't expect that Han Shunfu, who had always flaunted his might in the second division, was not Zong Bi's enemy. However, his mind turned extremely fast, and he immediately shouted, "Brothers, retreat, and inform Master Wang that the golden dog is too strong. ”
"The vanguard of the Protector Army is nothing more than that!" Looking at the retreating Protector Army, Zong Bi sneered, shook off the blood on the axe, pointed at Li Ying opposite, and shouted, "Sons, come with me, kill Wang Guijun, and avenge Kulihe." ”
When Han Shunfu was about to fight Zong Bi alone, Zhihun Meng An knew that it was not good, but there was nothing he could do. It's not just Zhihun and the others who are besieged by the Jin Corps, it's mainly that they know Han Shunfu too well. Extremely arrogant, with no one in sight. In his eyes, except for Yue Fei and Wang Gui, no one was taken into his eyes.
When Han Shunfu was killed by Zong Bi with an axe, the morale of the Jin army soared, and Zong Bi led Charal and Meng Lie to meet Wang Gui. Han Wave led 20,000 Han cavalry and began to besiege Zhihun Meng'an.
Although Zong Bi's cavalry was fast, Wang Gui's reaction was faster. Wang Gui was already the best at commanding infantry. Seeing that the sky was full of dust and snow behind a cadre of cavalry, Wang Gui immediately ordered the infantry to stop marching, and arranged three rejection horses with great speed, as well as an iron thistle several zhang wide.
Seeing such a formation, Li Ying immediately led the cavalry to the left and right and bypassed the two wings of the infantry. And as they bypassed, the formation of the infantry immediately expanded to both sides, and quickly opened up a formation a mile wide.
Tribulus terrestris, horse rejection, crossbowmen, spearmen, pikemen, and swordsmen, each in its place, in an orderly manner. Seeing such a formation, those who are as arrogant as Zongbi can only secretly praise a good word.
Zong Bi had never seen infantry so quickly deployed. He originally wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to chase Li Ying to break into Wang Gui's infantry formation. But Wang Gui didn't give him a chance.
After setting up the formation, Wang Guifang carried a long knife, rode to the front of the formation, and asked in a loud voice, "Is it Wanyan Zongbi?" ”
Zong Bi also responded in a loud voice, "Senior Commander Wang is imposing, and he really deserves to be a major general of the Protector Army. But General Wang, do you think that with these 20,000 infantry, you can stop my 20,000 iron cavalry? ”
Wang Gui suddenly looked up to the sky and smiled. After laughing for a while, Fang Cai said word by word, "Zong Bi, you just let the horse come." ”
Zong Bi carefully looked at the infantry formation, and surprisingly did not attack. He had to admit that Wang Gui's infantry formation was close to perfection. In the face of such a well-trained infantry, such a large formation, there is no other way than to fill it with human lives. Don't say that you can break through such a big array, even if you want to rush to the front of the big array, don't even think about it.
Zong Bi smiled, "I think all the troops of your Protector Army have arrived in Caozhou." In that case, why should I wait? Wang Gui, I can't break through your formation, but in front of my 20,000 cavalry, do you dare to take a step forward? ”
No matter how tightly organized the infantry formation is, once it moves, it will reveal a fatal gap. So Wang Gui also said frankly, "Don't dare." ”
"In that case," Zong Bi exclaimed proudly, "I still have 30,000 Jin army iron cavalry and 50,000 Han army in the east of the city, and they are besieging and killing the remnants of Zhihun and Meng An. Maybe before it gets dark, we'll be able to wipe out the Protectors there. Wait until tomorrow and I will storm your infantry with an army of 100,000 men. In this battle, I will not only kill Zhihun Meng'an, but also kill you Wang Gui, I will wipe out the military force of Ying Tianfu first, and then attack Ying Tianfu, and never seal the sword. Hahaha, Wang Gui, what if you cross the river to help? You can only watch as Zhihun and Meng An perish, miles away. ”
