Chapter 215: Wind and Snow Miscellaneous Tiger Head Mountain (Middle)

The wind and snow are getting smaller and smaller, and the sky and the earth are white.

However, the soldiers of the Tianwu Army have walked in the wind and snow for so long, and their bodies have fallen with a thin layer of snow, and they have actually merged with the wilderness.

Hutou Mountain is not far away, although the mountain is not high, but there are mountains that rise up in the wind and snow, stretching into the distance, and it is particularly dazzling under the gray sky. And several large and small camps on Hutou Mountain can also be faintly seen.

(Author's note: Contemptible people have never been to Xiangyang Hutou Mountain, for the terrain there is not very well understood, but from Du Niang searched for Hutou Mountain is tall and can overlook the current Xiangyang City, the content written is all based on imagination, if there are Xiangyang book friends can give news in the book review area, it would be great.) )

It's just that how many soldiers are guarding it is not something that the Song army's sentry cavalry can detect. However, since you can't see the situation on the mountain clearly, it is estimated that it is not easy to see the Tianwu Army on the mountain.

What's more, the sparks in the camp on the mountain are very sparse, and they can't illuminate the gradually deep sky at all.

The sky is like ink, and the wind and snow are fluttering.

Yang Bao took a light breath and rode his horse forward slowly. Wang Jin whispered from behind him: "Now that we have arrived at the foot of Hutou Mountain, what should we do." ”

"Fight, fight quickly." Yang Bao made up his mind, "Taking advantage of the Mongolian Tatars being dragged by Lu Wenhuan over there, we must grasp this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity." In this way, Brother Wang, you take the left carriage to attack the mountain from the east mountain road, and a certain Chinese army to attack the mountain from the southeast mountain road. The Mongol Tartars' defenses to the east and south didn't seem very tough, after all, they wouldn't have expected us to attack from behind. ”

Wang Jin nodded, just as a sentry came over quickly, but the strange thing was that this sentry did not return from the foot of Hutou Mountain, but arrived from the way of the Tianwu Army in the south. Horses' hooves whipped up the snow and set off a shower of snow powder.

The sentry came quickly, panting and rushing to Wang Jin and Yang Bao, and said breathlessly: "Qiqi two generals, Ah Shu ・・・・・・ Ah Shu ・・・・・・"

"What's wrong with Ashu?!" Wang Jin asked in surprise. Speaking of Ashu at this time, could it be that Lu Wenhuan didn't hold back Ashu in the end on the west side of Hutou Mountain, and the whole army was still wiped out? But that's okay, after all, as long as Ah Shu doesn't notice it. will stay to clean up the battlefield, but I don't know if Wu Chucai and others can break out of the encirclement, this is also a fierce general, if it is lost, it will be a pity, and it is not easy to explain to the envoy.

"Don't panic. Take your time. Yang Bao barely squeezed out a smile, obviously his heart was also constantly beating.

The sentry soothed his mentality, and then said: "Ah Shu has already withdrawn his troops, although I don't know why, but Wu Dutong thinks that it is very likely that the matter of wanting to attack Hutou Mountain has been detected, so Ah Shu has to collect his troops when he is about to annihilate Lu Wenhuan, leaving only more than 10,000 cavalry to monitor the periphery, and the other armies have returned north one after another." ”

"Not good." Yang Bao and Wang Jin both saw each other's surprise, and at the same time couldn't help but exclaim.

And Tang Zhen hurriedly asked, "When did this happen?" ”

"It's been about half an hour, and my subordinates rushed over desperately. Not too much time should have been wasted. However, the sky was dark, and the subordinates were not very clear, but when the subordinates walked from the west side of the mountain, the wind and snow were not so small. The sentry said hesitantly.

Wang Jin nodded: "Half an hour, Ah Shu should not have reached Hutou Mountain yet." ”

"We only have two moments at most." Yang Bao said softly, "Without further ado, the crossbowmen suppress, rush!" ”

Wang Jin nodded: "Old Tang, General Yang, you are pressing the formation behind." A certain personally led people up, and the first impact must take down all parts of Hutou Mountain. ”

Yang Bao smiled: "That's not right, they are all commanders, why do you have to give your kid a formation." said that I am southeast, you are east, and no one is allowed to rob anyone. ”

Before the words fell, Yang Bao had already taken the lead in turning over and dismounting, and pulled out his saber: "Sons, success or failure is here." The Chinese army of Tianwu Army, with a certain rush! ”

Suddenly, red flags unfurled from the white snow, dancing in the wind, and the Song soldiers of the brigade began to move, while the crossbowmen who rushed to the front had a grim face, and their fingers were already lightly pressed on the trigger.

"Brothers in the left chamber, we are not bad breeds, let them see how powerful the left chamber is. The left wing of the Tianwu Army, fight bravely to kill the enemy! Wang Jin didn't care about Tang Zhen, who was smiling bitterly behind him, raised his arms and shouted, the soldiers on the left side of the Tianwu Army naturally didn't want to watch the Chinese army in front of him, and quickly followed their commanders and rushed forward.

With the appearance of eye-catching red flags in the wind and snow, accompanied by the shouts in the sky, the Mongolian left-behind soldiers on the Hutou Mountain camp also found that something was wrong, but it was too late, and the soldiers who had just rushed to the wall were quickly shot down by the roaring crossbow arrows.

This time, because the Tianwu army had no way to retreat, it had to take the cottage in the first impact, so it was completely different from the normal attack method, and the crossbowmen who should have been strictly protected and left behind rushed to the front uncharacteristically this time, and only in this way could they try to suppress those Mongolian soldiers who poked their heads out in the first place.

However, fortunately, most of the Mongolian soldiers who stayed in the cottage were Han foot soldiers, and most of them were weak, old and weak, so they were suddenly shot indiscriminately by the Song army's dense arrows, which was enough to make them tremble behind the walled wall for a long time.

There are five large and small camps along Hutou Mountain, but three of them are on the mountainside facing Xiangyang, and there is a large village of the Chinese army located on the top of the mountain, and there is only one small village in the southeast direction of the mountain to guard the mountain road in the south and southeast, and it is used as a place to store grain and armament in the rear.

The troops stationed in Shanbei are also the majority, and this small village in Shannan is almost all some baggage soldiers who do not have much combat power. This is also why Ah Shu was in a hurry to withdraw his troops when he noticed that the Tianwu Army was likely to attack on the south of the mountain.

"Stop these damn Southern Barbarians!" A Mongolian centurion urged angrily, but he was frightened by the fierce rain of arrows just now, and no soldier had the courage to probe for a while.

Wang Jin had already run to a distance less than a hundred zhang away from the camp with hundreds of soldiers, although he didn't know why the Mongol Tatars didn't even have a decent counterattack, but Wang Jin couldn't care about it so much, and his hands went down everything fiercely.

More than a dozen crossbowmen squatted on the spot, and the divine arm crossbow in their hands roared out at the same time, grazing the wall of the village and submerging into the camp. Immediately after that, more lightly armored soldiers rushed forward, and their companions behind them were responsible for lighting the thistle terrestris, and then shoved it into the hands of those in front. The soldiers who rushed in front quickly threw the thistle over the wall!

"Boom, boom!" The explosions continued one after another, accompanied by the screams of the Mongolian Han soldiers.

"Run, the Southern Barbarian is really powerful!" I don't know who shouted first, and the soldiers who were already frightened by the fire and explosion suddenly dispersed. Most of these soldiers were newly issued. I didn't even have to experience basic training, let alone face the bows and firearms that the Song army was alone in the world at this time.

It's okay for them to guard the camp and fish and flesh the people, but if they are allowed to face the elite of the Song army, the Tianwu Army, it will be difficult for some strongmen.

Hearing the screams and shouts of the Inner Mongolian soldiers in the camp, a sneer flashed across the corner of Wang Jin's mouth: "Thunder shook the sky." Blow up the gate! ”

The crossbowmen were still desperately trying to release arrows to cover, and there were not many earth-shaking thunders brought by the left compartment, and one was less than one, so it was necessary to suppress the walled wall in case a Mongolian crossbowman suddenly fired, resulting in the death and injury of the soldiers holding the earth-shaking thunder.

The recruits did not have the courage to blow up such a dangerous thing as the gate of the village, and several veterans specially selected by Wang Jin copied the earth-shaking thunder, although the snow did not reach the ankles, but their pace still maintained the lightness of this level, and the recruits who were a little surprised behind believed it. Even if there are arrows, it is not easy to shoot these goblin pawns.

The old soldiers skillfully put the earth-shaking thunder towards the gate of the village, and then ran back quickly.

"Boom!" With a loud bang, the gate that looked very solid was suddenly blown open, and sawdust flew everywhere.

Through the fluttering snow powder, you can faintly see the panicked Mongolian soldiers in the camp. It's just that now the soldiers of the Tianwu Army didn't have time to laugh at the timid enemy, and as the gate of the village exploded, the Song soldiers rushed in like a tide with shouts.

And Wang Jin breathed a sigh of relief, so that when Jun asked the various departments to practice using the earth-shaking thunder to blow up the wall, everyone was still a little resistant. It was thought that this fresh method of warfare was not suitable for the defense-oriented Song army, and it was a little dangerous to let the soldiers embrace the earth-shaking thunder, but now seeing such an obvious effect, Wang Jin also had to sigh at the foresight of the envoy.

People can become deputy envoys of the system along the river and commanders of the four compartments of the Tianwu Army. It's not just talking, this real talent is unmatched in the Tianwu Army.

At this time, a series of explosions were also heard in the southeast direction of the camp, followed by a wave of red flags, and it was obvious that the Chinese army of the Tianwu Army also rushed into the camp. After all, they blew up the wall, which is much stronger than the walled gate. Naturally, the energy expended is also great.

"Congratulations." There was a teasing voice behind him, but it was Tang Zhen who had already rushed over with thousands of soldiers after the break, "I really let you pick up a bargain." ”

Wang Jin smiled a little proudly, and before he could speak, the sound of killing rose from the ground in the camp, and several soldiers hurriedly ran back to report: "General Qiyu, many people rushed down from the Tartar village to support, and suppressed it condescendingly with bows and crossbows, and it was difficult for the brothers to advance for a while. ”

Wang Jin shook his head suddenly, he was too proud, and he clenched his saber at the moment: "Rush in with a certain person, I want to see who has such great ability to block the Tianwu Army!" ”

The soldiers who went up the mountain later were worried that there was no enemy to kill, and at this time they were all happily following Wang Jin's figure, leaving Tang Zhen behind. Tang Zhen couldn't help but smile bitterly, who made himself a civilian official, he should command the people to count the seizures in the back, and leave these things to Wang Jin and Yang Bao to kill the enemy.

The Mongolian army of 150,000 crossed the Han River, of which 100,000 went south, and 50,000 were left behind in various camps, of which the Hutou Mountain camp was the largest and most important, so there were 20,000 people stationed, although there were five or six thousand recruits with little experience, but the others were all surrendered troops of the Shandong Li Lan rebellion, which was considered to have experienced the test of war, and there was still some distance from the southern camp to the mountain top village, so it was not unusual for the Mongolian soldiers to react.

Rows of crossbowmen rushed down the mountainside road, constantly pulling the bowstring or trigger. And the Song army's crossbowmen did not show weakness, although the opponent was condescending, but how could the arrogant Divine Arm Crossbow give in to such an opponent?

Arrows whizzed in the wind and snow, and the foot soldiers of both brigades also roared and slammed into each other.

Yang Bao led thousands of middle soldiers and soldiers to desperately crisscross among the thousands of foot soldiers who came to support the Mongols, while the rest of the Chinese army and the left side of the army were already indistinguishable from each other, killing the enemy side by side. As long as this group of Mongolian foot soldiers who came to support can be eliminated, it will definitely be a big shock to the Tartars on the top of the mountain.

"Tianwu Army, kill!" Wang Jin blocked the spear that stabbed him with a knife, and kicked over the young and immature Mongolian Han soldiers in front of him. He didn't know if the other party was bigger than him, but he knew that in the next moment, with a flexible turn of the saber, he could cut off the opponent's head.

On the battlefield, regardless of age, as long as you can kill the enemy. They are all real warriors.

Wang Jin's personal guards followed him closely, and more soldiers of the left wing of the Tianwu Army were wrapped in the outside, and these thousands of people were like a sharp sword, and soon separated the formation in front of them, and red flags fluttered one after another. Proudly facing the wind and snow.

Soon, Wang Jin and Yang Bao, the two leading commanders, met under the heavy siege of the Mongolian foot soldiers, both sides were covered in blood, coupled with the constantly falling snowflakes, which seemed a bit nondescript. Now that it was too late to say hello, Yang Bao nodded at Wang Jin and continued to slash forward. And more Song soldiers shouted and attacked desperately from all directions.

I don't know if I feel that the Song soldiers have already surrounded the Mongolian soldiers who came down the mountain to rescue them. And Wang Jin and Yang Bao led the team to rush and kill in the middle of the Mongolian formation, stirring up the chaos of the Mongolian infantry formation.

"Don't fall in love with the war, kill it!" Yang Bao wiped the blood from his face, carried the knife and continued forward. Several shield-bearers rushed over to fend off the arrows for him.

On the top of the mountain, the trebuchets and crossbows of the Mongolian Dazhai also began to shoot, although the Mongolian bed crossbows were far inferior to the Song army. But it is condescending, and it still has a strong deterrent effect. And in order to make up for the lack of bows and firearms, the Mongol trebuchets even outperformed the Song army.

"Assault muskets, sweep the road ahead, divine arm crossbows, suppress!" Wang Jin had already rushed out and shouted loudly.

In the dull sound of the assault guns, rows of Mongolian soldiers who were caught off guard fell, but the crossbowmen of the Song army were restrained by the Mongolian soldiers after all, and they wanted to suppress the Mongolian camp on the mountain for a while. It's a bit overwhelming.

"I can't care about it so much, I can't be pressed and beaten all the time." Yang Bao looked at Wang Jin anxiously, "But how many casualties, we all have to rush forward." The hilltop village overlooks the surroundings. If you can't attack for a long time and wait for Ah Shu to come to help, it will really be a failure. ”

Wang Jin nodded, there was no time to speak, the Song soldiers who rushed forward just now were killed and wounded, and the Mongols' counterattack could not be said to be fierce, and the slopes from the small village in the south to the big village on the top of the mountain were densely packed with the corpses of soldiers on both sides.

As long as you are a commander-in-chief, you understand. If it can't rush up again, it will be the heaviest blow to the morale of the Tianwu Army. And, more importantly, there is a high risk that the last chance to defeat your opponent will be lost.

They have a limited amount of time!

"Flag!" Wang Jin gritted his teeth and roared, he couldn't care about it so much now. Although it is easy to be hit by Mongolian crossbowmen if the flag is not supported, 20,000 soldiers are likely to be buried in Hutou Mountain.

At this time, as the commander of the left wing of the Tianwu Army, Wang Jin did not spare his life!

The Tianwu Army has no commanders who are afraid of death, and there are no commanders who are afraid of death!

The guards behind him hesitated for a moment, but finally held up Wang Jin's general flag, and as if tacitly, Yang Bao on the other side also held up the general flag at the same time. The two flags that symbolize the command of the Chinese army of the Tianwu Army and the command of the left chamber are fluttering in the wind.

"The success or failure of this battle, in one fell swoop, brothers, rush!" Wang Jin took the lead and pushed away the shield hand in front of him.

The soldiers behind seemed to be burning in the cold wind and snow with blood all over their bodies, and looking at the general and red flags facing the wind, everyone's eyes were red.

"Kill!" The cry from the bottom of my heart rushed to my mouth and turned into one word.

Cutting ice and snow is sonorous and powerful.

The Mongolian soldiers, who were originally relieved by the tentative onslaught of the Song army just now, were shocked to find that these Song soldiers rushed up again as if they were not dying, and even stepped on the fallen corpses of their own robes and charged forward. The snow on the soles of their boots was no longer discerning, but there seemed to be fire dancing in their eyes.

Flags are in the wind, like a sea of red blood.

"The wolf smoke rises, the rivers and mountains look north,

The dragon rolls, the horse neighses, and the sword aura is like frost!

The heart is like the water of the Yellow River, who can resist in 20 years! ”

Tang Zhen, who had always thought that his task was just to clean up the battlefield, held a rarely used sword at this time, stood at the foot of the hillside and sang the military song of the Tianwu Army. At this time, he no longer felt that he was a powerless scholar, he only knew how to sing this majestic song indulgently, and only knew how to follow the red banner forward!

Countless soldiers of the Tianwu Army followed closely.

A thick arrow may be able to plow a flesh path through a dense crowd, but the people around him barely shake their eyebrows; Perhaps the stubborn Mongol soldiers were able to barely resist the footsteps of a few Song troops, but the mighty tide soon overcame them, like an easy crushing of a fragile reef.

The vast singing and the flags seemed to be able to drown the heavens and the earth.

The soldiers of the Tianwu Army, from Wang Jin and Yang Bao to every soldier who charged, did not know why they had a burning fighting spirit, but each of them knew very well that rushing forward now was victory, and following that banner was not a bad seed!

The Tianwu Army is up and down, there is no bad seed! (To be continued.) )
