Chapter 31: The Great Duel (8)

Mr. King's formation when he charged was like this. Thousands of Maitreya infantry troops took Xia Gui as the front, lined up in a tight formation, and attacked the less than 1,000-strong people's protector army. Under the command of Mr. Jin, hundreds of Maitreya cavalry opened their wings on both sides of the infantry army, ready to resist the cavalry of the Protector Army at any time.

Mr. Jin knew that the Maitreya cavalry was not as elite as Yue Fei's cavalry, but under the leadership of the dozens of Jurchen elite soldiers he brought, it would not be a problem to resist for a while. As long as Xia Gui can annihilate the infantry army of the Protector Army on the opposite side with thousands of infantry troops, Yue Fei will have to withdraw if he does not retreat. In the final analysis, Mr. Jin put the hope of victory on the thousands of Maitreya infantry this time.

The formation on the side of the Protector Army was exactly the same as Mr. Jin's formation when it was not launched, with the infantry in the center and the cavalry on both wings. But when attacking, the Protector infantry shrank back, turning the hollow circle into a solid formation. When hundreds of cavalry of the Protector Army rushed forward from the two wings, they quickly closed to the middle, and soon merged into one, with Yue Fei as the sharp arrow, and directly pierced into the heart of the Maitreya infantry army.

As soon as Mr. Jin saw this situation, he knew that Yue Fei was betting with him, betting on whether the Maitreya cavalry would defeat the Protector Infantry first, or the Protector Cavalry would defeat the Maitreya Infantry first. Mr. Jin was ruthless in his heart, okay, I will destroy the thousand new troops you brought, and the intelligence shows that these new troops are all good sons of your recruits from heaven. As long as you destroy them, you will not want to gain a foothold in Yingtianfu.

Just when Mr. Jin's cavalry approached the Protector Army formation from both flanks, Yue Fei had already taken the lead and entered the depths of Maitreya's infantry army. There is no one under the iron gun.

Yue Fei was followed by the Meng family and his son.

Once old Meng An went to the battlefield, he didn't look like an old man in his sixties at all, the nine-ring machete became a weapon for harvesting life in his hands, and every time he went down, there was a Maitreya disciple's head on the ground.

Unlike his father, Lao Meng An only beheaded when he kills. Meng Lin's murder was a big knife slashing diagonally, cutting the person into two pieces with the shoulder strap and back. The father and son killed people so tragically that the Maitreya disciples dodged in both directions, and they didn't dare to stop the two of them.

The Meng father and son were followed by four fast horses, and the people on the horses were all Xiangzhou veterans who had followed Yue Fei for more than two years. They were not good at martial arts, but they were extremely experienced in battle formations, and they just poked the four spears desperately to both sides, making the opening of the Maitreya sect wider.

The four fast horses were followed by sixteen war horses. Forty or fifty horses poured in. When the formation of the Maitreya cultists was torn open, a large opening that could accommodate the influx of forty or fifty war horses, the defeat of the Maitreya cultists was assured. Even if Sun Wu is underground, it will be irretrievable.

Four or five hundred cavalry troops, under the personal leadership of Yue Fei, cut through the dense formation of the Maitreya sect with lightning speed. Immediately afterwards, Yue Fei looked back and rushed back again. At this time, the Protector cavalry was also divided into two teams. The first team still uses Yue Fei as the arrow, and the other team uses the Meng father and son as the arrow.

When Yue Fei rushed into battle just now, he was also paying attention to the movement behind him. Seeing that Meng An was no less brave than Huang Zhong, Yue Fei couldn't help but secretly admire. He didn't know if he would be as powerful as Meng An when he reached Meng An's age.

Yue Fei hugged his fist at Meng An and said loudly, "Old hero Meng, let's rush again." ”

Meng An said dryly, "The old man will try to compete with Yue Tuan's training envoys, this time to see who will kill these bandits first?" ”

Yue Fei was also aroused by Meng An's arrogance, and said loudly, "Okay! Yue Mou is compared with the old hero. The old hero remembers one thing, kill those golden-bodied Arhats first. Yue Fei and Meng An each led the cavalry to cut through the Maitreya sect again, and this time the two of them aimed their weapons at those guys who were covered in flashes and slashed. Yue Fei knew that although these golden-bodied Arhats were vulnerable under his own guns, they played a role in stabilizing the morale of the Maitreya disciples. They must be killed before these cultists can be dispersed.

Sure enough, when the three hundred golden-bodied Arhats who relied on stabilizing the hearts of the Maitreya disciples were slaughtered, thousands of Maitreya disciples finally ceased to be fanatical, and they completely collapsed.

Thousands of people ran in all directions on the plains like a flock of crazy sheep.

Yue Fei did not chase these sect members, his cavalry mainly pursued and killed the hundreds of cavalry who fled with Mr. Jin.

It turned out that Mr. Kim's hundreds of cavalry had never broken through to the Protector infantry formation. The reason is simple, when the Protectors shrank into a mass, the land in front of them, which was a few feet wide, was lined with dense earth pits. Each pit is half a foot deep and half a foot square.

When Mr. Kim saw the holes, he knew he was wrong. Yue Fei wasn't betting with him. This is a sub-plan that Zhihun gave Yue Fei.

Zhihun said that the soil in the eastern Henan Plain is loose and it is very easy to dig pits. There is no need to be too complicated at all, and there is no need to hide it, just dig a hole half a foot deep. In the process of running, as long as the horse stepped into the dirt pit, the leg was immediately broken.

Mr. Jin looked at the hundreds of holes in front of him with burning eyes, and then looked at the dozen or so Jurchen guards who rushed to the front had already broken tendons and broken legs, and the war horses with broken legs kept screaming, Mr. Jin had to admit that he had lost the battle today.

Even if he gathered nearly a hundred Jurchen elites in Ying Tianfu, even if there were tens of thousands of Maitreya disciples for his own use, he was still completely defeated.

Mr. Jin originally wanted to make a little more effort and lead hundreds of cavalry to fight back against Yue Fei's cavalry. At this moment, he saw Chen Gutong, who was wearing a golden robe, being captured out of the camp by Zhou Yi and Zhihun respectively. So Mr. Kim decisively ordered a retreat.

Although Chen Gutong pretended to be a ghost, he was worthy of being a rebel, and he knew that the two armies were facing each other, and the military spirit was the best. So when the two armies went to war, he and a dozen of his cronies stood at the front of the ranks.

When Yue Fei rushed into battle, Chen Gutong thought that Yue Fei would find him. But Yue Fei led the troops around from a few feet away from Chen Gubron. This made Chen Gutong a little complacent, knowing that Yue Fei did not take his own grasp in a short period of time, so he avoided himself.

Before Chen Gutong finished being proud, Zhou Yizhihun led more than a dozen heroes from the rivers and lakes to rush towards Chen Gutong.

These heroes quickly formed a circle array, surrounding Chen Gutong and Zhou Yizhi in the middle. More than a dozen heroes resisted the siege of Chen Gutong's cronies and other Maitreya followers. Zhou Yizhihun attacked Chen Bronze together, preparing to take Chen Bronze in the shortest possible time.

If he fights alone, Zhou Yi should be slightly better than Chen Bronze, and Zhihun is slightly inferior to Chen Bronze. But if the two of them hit together, Chen Gutong would soon be unable to resist it.

Chen Gutong resisted hard while shouting for reinforcements, and by the way, he also laughed at the two for not speaking of righteousness. "Zhou Yi, the old man is no longer your uncle, you are also your uncle, you are called the following offense today. Xia Gui, you kid is stupid, come and help me. Ouch! Zhou Yizhihu, both of you are famous knights on the rivers and lakes, how can you bully more and less, aren't you afraid of the ridicule of the people on the rivers and lakes? Ouch! ”

Zhou Yizhihun heard Chen Gubronze's words as if he hadn't heard them. Neither of them is a fledgling young man, how can they be stirred by Chen Gutong's words. Taking advantage of Chen Gutong's distraction, the two attacked more tightly. Chen Gutong was hit again and again.

Of course, if it weren't for Chen Gutong when he saw that his closest disciple Xia Gui not only stopped besieging the heroes of the rivers and lakes, but also led more than 100 disciples to flee in the wilderness, it is estimated that he could still resist the two for a while.

It was precisely because he saw his most trusted disciple Xia Gui leading people to escape, Chen Gubrson's heart was cold, and the movements in his hands were a little slow, Zhou Yi's iron fist broke through the block, and punched Chen Gutong in the stomach. Chen Gutong bent down in pain, and before he could straighten up, Zhihun slapped his palms on his neck, and Chen Gutong suddenly fainted to the ground.

Chen Bronze was caught. Some of the Maitreya followers surrendered, and some dispersed. Although Mr. Jin saw the opportunity early, he led the remaining guards to flee. In order to escape faster, he took off all the armor on his body and changed from a heavy horse to a light horse. But in the end, Mr. Jin was the only one who escaped.

Because Yue Fei deeply hated Mr. Jin for killing and wounding more than 100 new people in the first charge, he had to capture and kill this person, and he had been leading dozens of elite horsemen to chase after him. In order to cover Mr. Jin's escape, dozens of Mr. Jin's guards all sacrificed their lives to resist Yue Fei's attack. When Yue Fei killed all these guards, Mr. Jin had already run away.

After killing this Maitreya army, Yue Fei's face did not relax at all. He is also concerned about the fire in Mulan Village. While ordering the Protector Infantry Army to clean up the battlefield, Yue Fei personally led hundreds of cavalry troops, and Zhou Yi and others escorted the captured Chen Gutong to Mulan Village.

When we arrived at Mulan Village, Mulan Village was already in ruins. Yue Fei personally went to the village to inspect it, and found that there were not many corpses, so he knew that Xu Qing led the people to escape. Hurriedly followed the chaotic footprints of Xu Qing and the others when they retreated, and chased them out for several miles, only to find that Xu Qing was also cleaning the battlefield. The thousands of Maitreya cultists who pursued Xu Qing were also routed by Xu Qing.

Yue Fei swept the battlefield with his eyes, and found that there were almost no people guards cleaning the battlefield, all of them were ordinary people wearing cloth clothes. Every common man was elated, and when they saw knives, guns, weapons, or gold, silver, jewelry, and the like that had fallen on the ground, they would rush up and pick them up, and some were even more violent, and even the clothes of the deceased would be stripped off.

Yue Fei looked at the scene so chaotic, and asked a little unpleasantly, "Xu Qingyue, what's going on?" How do you let the villagers of Mulan Village clean up the battlefield, you are watching from the side? Do you think you're a high-flying old soldier? ”

Xu Qing hurriedly arched over and said, "Brother Yue doesn't know. The villagers are from several nearby villages. Without them, I would not have been able to defeat the Maitreya army. ”

It turned out that when Xu Qing and the pursuing Maitreya army were in a stalemate on the plain, more than 10,000 people suddenly poured in from all directions, all of them were holding rudimentary wooden sticks, and they were fearless to besiege the Maitreya army. Xu Qing took advantage of the situation to counterattack and finally crushed thousands of Maitreya troops. After that, more than a dozen people's leaders approached Xu Qing and said that they were villagers from nearby villages, and since they had helped the Protectors win the battle, they asked the Protectors to give them the task of cleaning up the battlefield, and they were willing to share the spoils of war with the Protectors.

In the end, Yue Fan also grinned and added, "Big brother, you don't know, if you don't let them pack up the loot, they won't do it!" ”

Yue Fei glared at Yue and rolled his eyes, and Yue Fei immediately closed his mouth. Yue Fei thought for a moment, and immediately understood the purpose of these villagers. The countryside in eastern Henan is dense, and there is a village almost a few miles away. In the past two days, Mulan Village has been attacked, and naturally other villages have also seen it. Because the Maitreya cult is too loud, of course, these small villages do not dare to attack it directly. However, they must have sent quite a few agile villagers to peek around Mulan Village.

It wasn't until this morning that Mulan Village was captured and the flames raged into the sky, and the people of these small villages had to unite and prepare to resist the next attack of the Maitreya Sect. When they saw that the Protector Army and the Maitreya Sect were in a stalemate, they felt that there was a bargain to be picked up, and they immediately rushed up.

Yue Fei figured out these things, and immediately understood why these villagers didn't even let go of the clothes on the deceased. In the past few months, King Kang has ascended the throne as the emperor here, recruited troops and horses, and almost looted the wealth of the people of Yingtianfu. These villagers are now destitute people, and naturally they will not let go of anything of value.

But when the spoils of war reach these villagers, will they really give half of them to the Protectors?
