Chapter 27: The Great Duel (4)
Mr. Kim was depressed. Although his heavy cavalry broke through the circle, it was not able to cut through the circle of the Protectors. Instead, he got into a bitter struggle with the Protectors.
This is something that Mr. Kim never expected. He thought that this thousand protectors had just been training for a few days, and looking at the gun array, it was actually vulnerable. As long as his heavy cavalry kills with thunder, it will definitely make these recruits who have never seen blood turn around and run away.
But Mr. Jin forgot one of the most important things, whether an army can fight or not, mainly depends on the main general. If the Lord will dare to fight, the army will dare to fight, and if the Lord will be cowardly, the army will be weak.
Although Yue Fei and Wang Gui were entangled by the Maitreya cavalry, there was also a capital leader, Zhao Wan, who commanded the Protector Army.
Zhao Wan can be said to have a common enmity with the Jurchens, he was originally from the Daimyo Mansion. The whole family died at the hands of the Jurchens. He was the only one who fled to the Central Plains. On the day Yue Fei seized the army, Zhao Wan took refuge with Yue Fei.
After seven or eight days of getting along, Zhao Wan felt that with Yue Fei's coolness in training, strict military discipline, and brave generals, as long as the Protector Army had enough manpower, Yue Fei would definitely be able to take him back to the Daimyo's Mansion and drive the Jurchens stationed in the Daimyo's Mansion back to the deep mountains and old forests of Changbai Mountain. Let him avenge the destruction of his family.
In the face of Mr. Jin's 100-heavy cavalry, Zhao Wan not only did not have a little fear, but also a little excited. He saw that Mr. Jin was a Jurchen, and secretly said in his heart, "Lao Tzu used to run away when he saw you golden dogs, and it was because his accomplices didn't give up." This time, I'll let you see what I, Zhao Wan, is capable of. ”
Seeing the hundred heavy horses getting closer and closer, Zhao Wan raised his arms and shouted, "Brothers, fight with these golden dogs." They have a lot of cavalry. We cannot be defeated, and defeat is death. All follow Lao Tzu. Take a step back and slash! ”
In the face of the gun array of the Protectors slanted on the ground, Mr. Jin's solution was very simple, that is, to let a few heavy horsemen directly collide with people and horses.
At the same time that the heavy cavalry was stabbed into a hedgehog, this section of the Protector Army's gun array was also broken or split, and it lost its ability to block the heavy cavalry. The Protector's gun array was too thin, only three columns, and after sacrificing more than a dozen heavy horsemen, Mr. Jin led more than 80 horsemen and horses into the Protector Army's formation.
Mr. Kim was greeted not by the collapse of the Protectors, but by a hundred hoplites armed with axes and foot armor. This is a strong man selected by Yue Fei from the veteran who has followed him for two years, and it can be said that he is the courage of this thousand new troops.
These hoplites stood directly in front of the heavy cavalry, almost fighting for their lives to block the heavy cavalry's charge.
There was a muffled thud, and a hoplite was knocked out by a warhorse. But as he vomited blood and flew out, he threw his great axe and cut off the front legs of the warhorse.
Ah, a painful roar, the last sound of a hoplite being trampled on the ground by a warhorse. The long axe in his hand didn't have time to cut out.
Directly facing the Jurchen heavy cavalry that rushed up, more than a dozen foot armor were either killed or injured almost instantly. After all, once these heavy horses in armor rushed up, they were almost moving iron floating slaughterhouses.
It's not at all that a dozen foot armor can stop.
But in the world, there are always exceptions. Zhao Wan, who was wearing a foot armor, successfully blocked the charge of the Jurchen heavy cavalry. When Zhao Wan was still a foot away from him on the Jurchen heavy horse, he threw out the heavy axe in his hand and cut down the war horse that was rushing towards him. Then he took another heavy axe from his own soldier, threw it again, and cut down another warhorse.
This is Zhao Wan's unique skill, throwing a flying axe. When he was still a famous hunter outside the Daimyo's mansion, he successfully hacked two big insects to death with this hand.
If Zhao Wan blocked the heavy cavalry with a flying axe, then Guo Jin, the big horse, and Li Heng, the fierce man, blocked the charge of more than a dozen heavy horses with their natural divine power.
These two guys who had just recovered from their injuries did not forget to wear seventy pounds of foot armor during the long march to show their divine powers. It made the hoplites who put their armor on horseback blush.
Seeing Mr. Jin's 100 heavy horsemen suddenly coming, Guo Jin immediately jumped up with a cooked copper stick in his hand, and said to Li Heng next to him with a grin, "Let's compete with each other to see who can kill the most horses." ”
Li Heng rolled his eyes, "The competition is the competition." I'm afraid you won't make it! ”
The two guys carried the golden cooked copper rods and ran directly to the heavy horses. But what made Li Heng depressed again was that his luck was still not as good as Guo Jin. Seeing that Guo Jin had already smashed over five war horses and successfully blocked the momentum of the heavy horse, he hadn't even solved the war horse in front of him.
Because Li Heng stopped Mr. Jin's war horse. The long knife in Mr. Jin's hand danced, repeatedly blocking the cooked copper rod that Li Heng knocked on his horse's leg.
Li Heng couldn't help but be confused, and he yelled at Mr. Jin, "I don't believe in smashing your horse's legs." The cooked brass stick in his hand danced in the wind, and slammed into Mr. Kim's long knife one after another.
Compared with Li Heng's more and more courageous battles, Mr. Jin secretly complained. As soon as Guo Jin and Li Heng appeared, they were recognized by Mr. Jin. For no other reason, the cooked copper rods in their hands were too windy, and they were sunny, like pure gold.
When attacking Li Bashao, Mr. Jin once said with disdain that Guo Jin and Li Heng were just reckless men. But when he really faced the reckless man, Mr. Jin suddenly found that he couldn't even deal with a reckless man.
Mr. Kim's palms were hot for a while, and he felt his tiger's mouth cracked. I almost couldn't hold the long knife in my hand. I couldn't help but shout depressed and angry, "A bunch of fools, you haven't come up to help me." ”
The two heavy cavalry bypassed Mr. Jin and finally blocked Li Heng's offensive. But only two of them looked at each other, and the two heavy horsemen fell to the ground together with their own horses.
Li Heng shouted, "Finally knocked down two." Hey, that guy, don't run, eat me with a stick. ”
It turned out that after Mr. Jin avoided Li Heng's attack, he looked around and immediately knew that something was wrong. Immediately gave a whistle and led the rest of the heavy cavalry out.
He first looked at the Maitreya cavalry on both wings, but saw that the three hundred people who rushed towards Yue Fei were killed by Yue Fei because of their faces, Liu Jinhu was killed, and the dragons were leaderless, and they had been killed by Yue Fei's more than 20 horsemen and horses at this moment. Although the 200 people who rushed towards Wang Gui had the advantage, Xia Gui could never take Wang Gui, and the advantage could not be transformed into victory. On his side, under the blocking of these two rammed goods holding cooked copper sticks, there are now less than seventy of his hundreds of heavy riders. What's more, the seventy horsemen had lost their speed and were about to be surrounded by the Protectors on both flanks.
Hearing Li Heng babbling behind him, Mr. Jin couldn't help but regret even more, he shouldn't have let those two fools divide his troops. If the six hundred cavalry had been combined into one place, breaking the formation with heavy cavalry and advancing with light cavalry, the thousand protector troops would have been killed long ago. How could it be possible to let just two rammers block the attack.
As the heavy cavalry withdrew, the Protectors cheered. Under the command of Zhao Wan, it was rearranged into a circular formation. It's not that Zhao Wan is too careful, after all, there are still hundreds of cavalry troops on both wings, once the infantry is out of array, even if only half of the cavalry breaks in, it is estimated that these infantry troops will suffer heavy losses. Mr. Kim's assault has caused more than 100 casualties among the Protectors. The hoplites alone suffered more than 30 casualties.
Mr. Kim's retreat was not to escape, but to withdraw from the circle, join forces with the Maitreya cavalry on both sides, and then relaunch the offensive. But Mr. Jin forgot that it was not the Jurchen Iron Cavalry who cooperated with him on both sides, but the Maitreya Cavalry who did not know what war discipline was.
As soon as his heavy cavalry retreated, the three hundred Maitreya cavalry that fought with Yue Fei immediately collapsed. The three hundred cavalry army was already killed by Yue Fei, and the reason why they were struggling to support it was to let Mr. Jin and Xia Gui solve the men and horses here, and then attack Yue Fei together.
While they were wrestling with Yue Fei, they were staring at the battle situation on this side with their eyes. As soon as Mr. Jin's men and horses retreated, these Maitreya troops suddenly had no more fighting spirit, and they ran away with a hula.
Xia Gui saw that both sides had run away, what kind of strength did he still have. Anyway, he and this guy named Wang Gui are at most between each other, and they can't take his life for a moment. Let's just withdraw too.
The battle lasted less than half an hour, and the imposing 600 cavalry was routed by a 1,000 Protector Army. It's just that today's luck seems to be on Mr. Jin's side, just when Yue Fei led dozens of cavalry to pursue them, Chen Shenxian arrived with three hundred golden-bodied Arhats.
As soon as these three hundred golden-bodied Arhats appeared, they also surprised the people on Yue Fei's side. I thought it was the gods who had descended to earth.
When Xu Qing led the people to withdraw from Mulan Village, Chen Shenxian led three hundred golden-bodied Arhats and thousands of Maitreya disciples to rush here. Chen Shenxian thinks that Mulan Village is over. Those Protector Army and Mulan Zhai people can't run far before they will completely collapse, just like the tens of thousands of troops in the Song General Guo's division a few years ago.
It's just that Chen Shenxian always has a trace of uneasiness in his heart. He guessed that something might have gone wrong on Mr. Kim's side. Sure enough, when he led the three hundred golden-bodied Arhats to rush over first, what he saw was the collapsed Maitreya cavalry, and Mr. Jin who fled in the wilderness.
Chen Shenxian stroked his long beard with his hand, stared at Yue Fei's figure getting closer and closer, and asked Mr. Jin, "This is Yue Fei?" ”
Mr. Kim didn't speak, just nodded.
Chen Shenxian exclaimed, "It's really extraordinary! When he saw my three hundred golden-bodied Arhats, not only did he not fall off his horse and run away, but he also dared to ride alone. The old man wants to learn this person's skills. ”
As soon as Mr. Jin heard that Chen Shenxian's words meant to be alone with Yue Fei, he hurriedly reminded, "Old immortals, don't despise Yue Fei. This person is not only good at kung fu immediately, but also first-class in foot combat. Your apprentice Liu Jinhu was killed by him. ”
Mr. Jin frowned and asked Xia Gui, who came to his side, "The Golden Tiger is deep in the technique of attacking, can't even withstand this Yue Fei?" ”
Xia Gui said with a bitter face, "Don't dare to hide it from Master, my senior brother only took one punch from this Yue Fei, and then died." ”
"What?" Mr. Jin couldn't believe Xia Gui's words. However, he knew that this apprentice would definitely not lie to him. Chen Shenxian suddenly burst out laughing, his eyes staring at Yue Fei tightly, "Since Chen Mou came out, he has dominated the world and has only been defeated once. Now, I would like to weigh this Yue Fei's catties. ”
