Chapter XVII
In the face of the strong attack of the Song army, Sha Guzhi decisively adopted the tactic of-for-tat. The long knife in his hand slashed downward, and hundreds of horns sounded at the same time, and the eight thousand Jurchen iron horsemen heard the familiar sound of the horn, and immediately howled and rushed forward. Only fifteen hundred Jurchen Iron Guards remained, standing motionless behind him.
In the face of the huge offensive of thousands of cavalry, even if Yang Zaixing was the reincarnation of the gods, he could not break through to Sha Guzhi. Of course, Yang Zaixing also understood this, so his horse slowed down a lot. When the first Jurchen cavalry ran into him, the Protector cavalry had already killed him.
The shouts of tens of thousands of cavalry completely suppressed the water of the Yellow River. The galloping of tens of thousands of war horses shook the solid Yellow River beach. As soon as the vanguard of both sides collided, hundreds of soldiers fell off their horses.
But none of the others backed down. In the gallop of the cavalry of the brigade, the cavalry, as the vanguard, either died or killed the enemy. Anyway, his war horse will never stop. Once you stop, you will be trampled and trampled into meat by the war horse behind you.
Therefore, whether it was the Song army or the Jin soldiers, they all roared angrily, brandished the weapons in their hands, and slashed at the enemy on the opposite side as much as possible.
"Kill!"
A young Protector cavalryman had just used his saber to cut down a mace-wielding golden soldier, and before he could draw his saber back, he was also stabbed by another golden soldier with a scar on his face. And Scarface also didn't have time to draw his iron spear, and was slashed on the ribs by a red-eyed Protector cavalryman. The sharp steel knife cut through his three layers of leather armor and also cut through Jin Jun's fragile skin. All the bright internal organs leaked out.
Scarface hurriedly threw away the short gun in his hand and stretched out his hands to cover the wound on his waist. Another Protector rushed forward, slashing a frightened head into the air with a flick of his saber.
"Kill all the golden dogs!"
Ji Qian let out an earth-shattering roar, and the two four-lined iron shovels in her hands flew up and down, smashing down seven golden soldiers in a blink of an eye, but the eighth golden soldier with a long knife rushed up and stabbed Ji Qian's left arm.
If Ji Qian wasn't wearing a special gold silk soft armor made by Xu Qing, it is estimated that this knife would have removed Ji Qian's left arm.
The successful Jin Bing just showed a smile on his face, thinking that he had killed a fierce general of the Song Army this time, and he didn't want a thick iron shovel to follow and smash it on Jin Bing's face.
"Give you Ji Ye to die."
The injured Ji Qian is even crazier than before she was injured. crashed into the Jin Bing Brigade first, and the guards behind him were afraid that Ji Qian would be left alone, so they had to desperately keep up. These pro-guards were all Yue Fei's pro-guards, and there were only three hundred people in total. This charge, all let Ji Qian bring it over.
The combat power of these pro-guard troops is comparable to that of the back army. Ji Qian killed so frantically, these guards were still only one head behind Ji Qian. And after the three hundred guards, it was a battalion of cavalry led by Hua Ruyu to protect the people.
At this time, Hua Ruyu couldn't tell that it was a woman at all, she was wearing a black and heavy armor, and a large ash pole gun with a length of two feet in her hand, flying up and down, and there was no one to match. Guarding Hua Ruyu were ten female soldiers from Mulan Village.
These female soldiers are nominally Hua Ruyu's subordinates, but in the past, they were all called sisters. In front of these former sisters, Hua Ruyu never regarded herself as a deputy division commander. Because of this, when the female soldier was cut off the horse by a golden centurion, Hua Ruyu almost died of heartache.
"Tricks!"
Hua Ruyu roared in pain, and the big gun in her hand stabbed into Jin Bing's throat with a thud, and pulled sideways to the side, cutting off half of Jin Bing's head.
The charging Jin soldiers saw that Hua Ruyu's side was full of female generals, and suddenly more than a dozen Jin soldiers rushed up with a cruel smile. But the women of Mulan Village quickly let these Jin soldiers know how powerful. The sabers in the hands of the nine female soldiers were specially made by Xu Qing, and they were all made of refined steel, although they were light in weight and as light as a horsewhip when wielded, they were extremely sharp. Regardless of whether the Jin soldiers who rushed up were wearing leather armor or iron armor, they could almost get three points into the flesh with a single sword.
Only a hundred steps away from Hua Ruyu is the general Dong Xian. Dong Xian also led a team of 1,000 people and fiercely chiseled into the depths of the golden soldiers. Dong Xian's long knife slashed people the hardest, and almost every time the knife went down, a golden soldier was cut in two. Dong Xian's eyes were full of red blood, but his heart was crying out to his father's undead.
Dad, open your eyes and take a look, your son Dong Xian didn't embarrass you. Back then, you killed Liao dogs. Today I killed a golden dog that is more ferocious than the Liao dog. Daddy, you lost the battle back then, but your son will definitely win the battle today. I hope that my father is in the spirit of heaven and bless my son to kill more golden dogs.
Dong Xian thought that today's battle was won because he thought that the other cavalry were as sharp as himself. But the situation on the battlefield as a whole is not optimistic. The 8,000 Protector cavalry was divided into eight battalions. Hua Ruyu's battalion opened the way because of Ji Qian's three hundred personal guards, and its combat power was much stronger than that of the Jin soldiers, and now it has been chiseled into the Jin army hundreds of steps.
Dong Xian's battalion relied on Dong Xian's fierce sword, and it also killed the Jin army on the opposite side a little messy.
Zhao Hong, the commander of the Protector Army, also led a thousand cavalry, relying on his magic arrows, before he came into contact with the Jin soldiers, he shot twenty-three arrows in one breath, killing nineteen Jin soldiers and warriors, and the Jin soldiers who were not afraid of death did not dare to shoot him directly.
But except for these three battalions that had the upper hand, the other five battalions were fighting desperately with the Jin soldiers under the leadership of the five battalion commanders. Because they lacked sharp knives to break the enemy, they not only did not cut through the enemy's attack, but were chiseled into it by the fierce golden soldiers.
You must know that the Jin soldiers who followed Sha Guzhi were all Jurchen elites, and Yang Zaixing's selection of four generals was more to improve the morale of the Song army, but in fact, it did not have much impact on these Jurchen elite soldiers. Under the leadership of thousands of household chiefs and hundreds of household chiefs, tens of thousands of Jurchen cavalry who had been in battle for a long time had automatically divided into dozens of units in the process of charging.
The leaders are all Jin soldiers and warriors, maybe these warriors can't catch Yang Zaixing's shot, but when facing other Song troops, their combat power can be brought into full play. The long weapon in his hand faced the saber of the Song army, and obviously had the upper hand.
A scream.
Wang Sanhu, the battalion commander of the Protector Army, finally broke the saber in his hand under the continuous blows of the Jurchen Qianhu on the opposite side. The Jurchen Qianhu chief laughed cruelly, and the mace in his hand fluttered and smashed on Wang Sanhu's head.
But this Jin soldier Qianhu chief didn't expect that he killed Wang Sanhu, not only did not make the cavalry of this battalion disheartened, but killed more ferociously. Wang Sanhu is a yellow man in Xiangzhou, who was originally the leader of Ji Qian's village, although his martial arts are not very high, but he likes to move forward bravely in battle. Since becoming the commander of the cavalry battalion of the People's Protector Army, Wang Sanhu has been even more conscientious, but he is afraid that the cavalry he has trained is not as good as others. Therefore, he is also quite loved by his subordinates in the cavalry division of the Protector Army.
Now seeing that the battalion commander was beaten to death by this golden soldier thousand household commanders, Wang Sanhu's subordinates suddenly turned red. In particular, the five pro-soldiers of Wang Sanhu desperately killed the head of the thousand households of the Jin soldiers.
Of course, the head of the thousand households also had his own personal soldiers, and he immediately urged him to step forward and stopped Wang Sanhu's personal soldiers.
But what all the Jin soldiers didn't expect was that Wang Sanhu's five personal soldiers didn't care about the weapons that cut at him, and the five weapons cut down at the head of the Jin Soldiers' Thousand Households together.
The commander of the golden soldier is just a reckless man with a lot of strength, where can he stop such a group fight. He blocked one knife and one shot with the mace in his hand, but the other three sabers all slashed at him. A saber slashed at the arm of the head of the thousand households, cutting off one of the arms. Another saber was slashed at the left rib of the thousand households. Just as the Chief of the Thousand Households was about to let out a scream, a third saber slashed right at his throat, suppressing his screams.
When the head of the thousand households of the golden soldiers stared and died, the five personal soldiers of Wang Sanhu were also hacked to death by the other golden soldiers.
Unlike other Song armies, the military system of the Protector Army is extremely simple, and the battalion commander is dead, and he is all on top of his head. The heads are dead, and the squad leader is on top. The golden drum does not sound, and those who retreat without permission are all killed. So as soon as Wang Sanhu died, soon a person named Liu Suifeng came up on his head.
Liu Suifeng is a native of Yingtianfu, and before joining the People's Protector Army, he was a lifter. Joined the Protector Army, and soon became the company commander of the Protector Army's cavalry. This person's martial arts are not even comparable to Wang Sanhu, but he is better than Wang Sanhu to command.
Taking over Wang Sanhu's position, Liu Suifeng quickly stabilized the battle line of this battalion, although he could not chisel through the Jin army, but at least he was stalemate with the Jin soldiers.
The same was true of the other 4,000 cavalry of the Protector Army, although they did not have the upper hand, but under the ferocious attack of the Jin soldiers, they did not fall behind.
This time, neither Yue Fei nor Chen Qu came up. The two of them stood on a mound several feet high, condescendingly observing the battle situation in front of them. At this moment, the eyebrows of both of them were wrinkled.
Because on the entire battlefield, the Jin soldiers clearly had the upper hand. The cavalry of the Protector Army on the left flank now has a slight upper hand, Ji Qian's banner, Hua Ruyu's banner, and Dong Xian's banner are now only a few hundred steps away from Sha Gu, and it seems that the minds of the three people have reached one place, that is, to kill Sha Gu, so that the golden soldiers are leaderless.
But the sand and ancient Shuai Qi seemed to have taken root, and in the face of the three fierce Protector Army, the Shuai Qi was floating steadily in the air, and there was no intention of retreating at all.
Chen Qu scolded, "The golden dog is really tenacious!" ”
Yue Fei didn't speak. Because he doesn't think this is the time to speak. Chen Qu magnified the hope of victory on the left wing of the Protectors, but the right wing he was in charge of was already about to collapse. The cavalry on the right flank was commanded by Li Chengzhang and Zhang Yongyi, Yao Zheng, and Ma Bao. But the moment he collided with Jin Bing, Ma Bao's banner had already fallen down and was never erected again. Li Cheng's banner first chiseled into the Jin army a few zhang, but at this time it was also retreating step by step. As for Zhang Yongyi's young couple, their banner is now retreating step by step. But what is more dangerous is Yue Fei's uncle Yao Zheng. The Yaozi banner is now deeply surrounded by the Jin army, and the banner is shaking around, falling down several times, and being stubbornly erected several times.
Whenever he saw the Yao character banner falling, Yue Fei's heart would be tightened. His uncle is not a million enemies, and if the sergeant is consumed, there will definitely be a situation of death and no life.
