Chapter 153: The Second Army of Fire and Water
Yang Zhi wanted to show his martial bravery, and chased after him again, only to see the things in the hands of the soldiers and horses in front of Shan Tinggui's formation, and hurriedly turned the horse to return.
The corporal under Shan Tinggui saw that Yang Zhi was about to escape, but they all took a few steps forward and threw the hook in their hands.
Yang Zhi tried his best to dial, but he was still hooked by a hook, dragged off the horse, and then everyone rushed up and tied back to the battle.
Wei Dingguo saw that Shan Tinggui had already made meritorious contributions, and he was not willing to be lonely, with a wave of his hand, the soldiers and horses behind him flashed out a few roads, and the firefighters pushed the car out after the battle.
Only then did Chao Yong see that the car was loaded with reeds and other fire-causing objects.
When the train was pushed to the front, the firefighters set the train on fire, and the firefighters behind also untied the iron gourd on their backs and lit it, and the iron gourd suddenly spewed out a few feet of flames.
As soon as Wei Dingguo gave the order, the firefighters rushed over with the train, and the firefighters with iron gourds were also in the interval between the trains.
Chao Yong saw it and hurriedly shouted: "Their firepower can't last, the whole army will maintain the position and retreat, and wait until the fire is burned out, and then turn around and kill the enemy." Those who dare to disrupt the formation will be killed. ”
The soldiers and horses of Liangshan had already been frightened by Wei Dingguo's firefighters, and when they heard Chao Yong's order to retreat, they immediately turned around and fled. However, the strict military regulations of Liangshan still allowed them to maintain their position and retreat.
Chao Yong and several other leaders did not rush out of the formation and fled first, but followed the last retreat.
Wei Dingguo couldn't help but be stunned when he saw the neat retreat of Liangshan's soldiers and horses. The greatest effect of his firearms is to disperse the opponent's position, killing and wounding the enemy when the opponent panics.
The two armies were separated by a mile, and as soon as Wei Dingguo's feet moved, Chao Yong decisively ordered the withdrawal of troops.
Therefore, the soldiers and horses of Lingzhou couldn't catch up with the soldiers and horses of Liangshan for a while, and chased after a while, Wei Dingguo saw that the reeds on the train were about to burn out, but the formation of the soldiers and horses of Liangshan was only slightly chaotic, and he didn't dare to chase anymore, so he hurriedly ordered the firefighters to pile up the train and retreat.
Chao Yong saw Lingzhou's soldiers and horses retreating, so he also ordered the whole army to stop retreating and prepare to counterattack.
However, when Wei Dingguo retreated, he piled up the trains in a row, and the trains had not all been extinguished at this time, if he bypassed the train pursuit, the formation would inevitably be disrupted, so Chao Yong could only wait for the train to go out.
Although the reeds burned quickly, by the time the train was extinguished, the soldiers and horses of Lingzhou had already formed a formation again, but Wei Dingguo's firefighters had become ordinary infantry.
"Brother Yong, there are soldiers and horses coming from the west."
Chao Yong turned his head to look, only to see that the dust was rising again in the west, and hurriedly ordered: "The whole army charges, and when the officers and soldiers of the Daimyo Mansion arrive, we must defeat the soldiers and horses of Lingzhou and rescue Yang Zhi." ”
"Kill"
General Chao Yong gave the order, and the soldiers and horses of Liangshan pounced on the soldiers and horses of Lingzhou like tigers descending the mountain.
Shan Tinggui and Wei Dingguo's soldiers and horses are both special troops, proficient in water and fire, and their training is also concentrated on water and fire, and they are slightly inferior in land combat.
It's just that the momentum of the Liangshan soldiers and horses charging makes the Lingzhou soldiers and horses daunting.
Seven or eight out of ten of the Song Dynasty troops were archers, but Shan Tinggui's soldiers and horses won by water, except for the waist knife, which was a hook, which could not only ambush people, but also hook some ships on the water and grab them to fight. And Wei Dingguo's soldiers and horses burned the formation with fire, and the soldiers and horses also used waist knives.
The soldiers and horses were not equipped with bows and arrows, and there was no point in defending in place.
The two saw that the soldiers and horses of Liangshan were roaring, and their momentum was getting stronger and stronger, and they glanced at each other, and then they also led the troops to charge.
In a matter of moments, the two armies collided.
A face-to-face, strong and weak judgment, the strictly selected Liangshan Zhengjun faced the water and fire soldiers who had been pulled out of their minions, and almost destroyed and killed into the Lingzhou soldiers and horses.
Chao Yong stared at the few soldiers holding Yang Zhi behind the formation, and rushed into the Lingzhou soldiers and horses first.
Several black-clad and black-armored sergeants saw Chao Yong break into the formation and knock several of his comrades into the air, so they threw out their hooks together, ready to drag Chao Yong off his horse.
Chao Yong saw a few hooks coming out of the air, but he didn't dial them, but grabbed them with his arms, and grabbed the ropes behind a few hooks in his hand.
Several sailors saw Chao Yong grasp the hook, and hurriedly tried to tear Chao Yong off the horse.
"Up"
Chao Yong screamed, grabbed the rope and threw it hard.
"Ahh
"Ahh
A few sailors felt a strong force from scratching the hook rope, and their bodies rose from the ground, and flew more than a foot in the air before they smashed down.
The soldiers and horses next to him were suddenly smashed and fell, and the soldiers and horses under Shan Tinggui saw that Chao Yong had such courage, and they immediately didn't dare to use the hook again.
used the waist knife but before he rushed to the front, he was swept away by the iron rod in Chao Yong's hand.
For a while, where Chao Yong's horse passed, the soldiers and horses under Shan Tinggui retreated to both sides like a tide, allowing Chao Yong to break out of the formation more quickly.
Several sergeants who were escorting Yang Zhi behind the battle saw Chao Yong's unstoppable rush, and they also knew that Yang Zhi was a hot potato, so they left Yang Zhi and fled.
Chao Yong hit the horse in front of him, pulled out his sword, and broke the rope on Yang Zhi's body.
"Thank you Brother Yong for saving me"
Yang Zhilao's face flushed and thanked him, and he snatched the weapon and rushed towards the Lingzhou soldiers and horses.
The soldiers and horses of Liangshan were twice as large as the soldiers and horses of Lingzhou, and the gap in combat effectiveness was also very large, except for the few people who ran away at the beginning of the battle, most of them had been divided into several pieces and slashed at this time.
Shan Tinggui and Wei Dingguo were greeted by Lu Zhishen and Yang Zhi respectively.
Shan Tinggui's martial arts are not as good as Lu Zhishen, and he was even more distressed when he saw that the holy sailors who had worked so hard to be slaughtered by cutting melons and vegetables, and this distraction was even more unbearable.
After barely fighting for more than a dozen times, he was swept off the horse by Lu Zhishen with a Zen staff and was captured by Liangshan soldiers and horses.
Lu Zhishen saw that Hua Rong couldn't take Wei Dingguo for a while, and the sound of horses' hooves in the west was already loud, and he didn't care about the rules of the rivers and lakes, so he went up with a Zen stick.
Wei Dingguo and Hua Rong were fighting in the middle of the battle, so Lu Zhishen suddenly came up with a Zen staff, and hurriedly danced a steel knife to block it, how could he resist Lu Zhishen's divine power, and he was immediately swept off the horse.
When Chao Yong saw that he had captured Shan Tinggui and Wei Dingguo, he shouted: "Drive the Lingzhou soldiers and horses to the west." ”
Everyone understood, so they let go of the gap in the west, and only killed on the other three sides.
The soldiers and horses of Lingzhou had already been killed, and when they saw that there was a gap coming out, they fled to the west without hesitation.
Heavenly King Li Cheng originally led the army all the way to the north, preparing to rescue Gaotang Prefecture. But after getting Suo Chao's report, he led the army to kill directly to the east, preparing to intercept the Liangshan bandits.
But what he didn't expect was that not only did the Liangshan bandits march faster than him, but the eager pioneer Suo Chao rushed to the front of him, and he was actually defeated by the Liangshan bandits.
Li Cheng gathered some Suo Chao rout troops along the way, and chased after him non-stop.
In order not to throw the infantry behind him too far, Li Chengma didn't dare to go too fast.
Li Cheng originally thought that he would have to chase a few more miles to catch up with the Liangshan bandits, but he didn't expect to come to the horse to report that the soldiers and horses of Lingzhou had dragged the Liangshan bandits.
Li Cheng immediately ordered the whole army to march quickly, preparing to encircle and annihilate this Liangshan bandit with Lingzhou soldiers and horses.
