Chapter 182: Advancing and Retreating Ninefold, Who Is the Enemy?

PS: I received the first monthly pass in my life today (according to the words of the gods, I don't have to run naked this month), I am so moved, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the vegetables in the vegetable garden and the support of many book friends, your encouragement and criticism are the driving force for my update

The Mongolian commander Huaidu rode his horse slowly.

Qizhou City was right in front of him, and the open door seemed to welcome him. After careful investigation by two groups of sentinel cavalry, Huaidu had reason to believe that the timid southern barbarians had completely abandoned the city. Except for the Tianwu Army, the rest of the Southern Barbarians are just paper-paste, and it is already very good if they don't run away from the wind.

Huaidu raised his horsewhip, and the horse neighed, and rushed into the city first. He is a favorite general under Ah Shu, don't look at it as just a thousand commanders, but he was born as the captain of Ah Shu's personal guard, and the entire Southern Expeditionary Army of 150,000 people who don't know that let Huai Du go to the position of this thousand commanders, it is just for gilding, and sooner or later he will be entrusted with a heavy task by Ah Shu.

This time to the south, Ashusi sent Huaidu after thinking about it, although Huaidu is not good at big strategy, but he is cautious and meticulous, and he is not ambiguous in the battle, and he has the ability to come to test Ye Yingwu's choice, Huaidu is a good choice. Although it was only a thousand commanders, Huaidu actually controlled the other two thousand men and horses in his company, and unlike another group of men and horses who went south through Huangzhou, that Mongolian infantry was actually a few thousand commanders discussing countermeasures.

And these 3,000 people are obeying Huaidu's orders.

Huaidu's caution can be seen from his various explorations of Qizhou City, but now that Qizhou is an empty city, Huaidu doesn't mind galloping on his horse to satisfy his ** who occupies a piece of land. What's more, it's cold winter after all, and if you can spend the night in the city, it's naturally better than sleeping outside.

The streets were empty and silent, but these were nothing, and what really infuriated people was when these hateful southern barbarians were retreating. There wasn't even a single door panel left, let alone any firewood and other heating things. Empty city, this time it's really empty.

Of course, this is also not to blame the Tianwu Army, after all, the entire Tianjia Town is forty miles of mountains and rivers. Most of the camps needed timber, and instead of going to the mountains to cut down trees, it was better to send someone to bring these abandoned door panels.

The consequence of not having a door panel is that you will stand in the middle of an empty house, and the wind will be cold in the hall. It's no different from sleeping outside the city. No wonder Huaidu stood in front of the yamen of Qizhou Mansion, his face was already gloomy and he could wring out water.

However, this is not without benefits, at least this means that the entire Qizhou City was really abandoned by the Song army, and there is no need to worry about when the Song army will come out to attack the city again. Although Huaidu knew that the Song army was good at defending the city, and the ability to attack the city was really not worth mentioning, he ?????? It seems that the sons under his command will not defend the city, a group of cavalry on the grassland, where do they know how to handle the city??????

Huaidu helplessly paced in the lobby where the wind was howling, and the sentinels scattered in all directions, Tandu had come back one after another. There was not a single person within a radius of at least twenty miles. Even the backmost sentry had already reached the forty miles of mountains and rivers in Tianjia Town, before they were forced back by a wandering Song army sentry spies.

"Where is the Tianwu army that went north in the middle of the night?" Huai Du couldn't help frowning, the morning light was faint, the sky was still dark, and the Song army had a lot of sentinels, so the Mongolian sentry cavalry didn't see the number of the other party at all, but it was certain that the flag was fluttering, and he was afraid of no less than 10,000 people.

If it is an ordinary Song army, what about 10,000 people. With 2,000 cavalry, Huaidu was sure to kill them to the point of abandoning their armor. But these tens of thousands of people are not ordinary Southern Song Dynasty township soldiers and box troops, let alone those soldiers stationed in various places who have long been rotten, but the Tianwu Army, a strong force that suddenly rose on the south bank of the Great River. It is also one of the few Song Jun who has made Ah Shu suffer.

Huaidu asked himself that he was not as good as his own commander Ashu, so he didn't dare to take the Tianwu Army lightly. This is also why he is doubly cautious to send double or even triple sentry spies, just to be able to find the clues of this Heavenly Martial Army.

However, the facts show that everything is in vain, and the more than 10,000 people of the Song army seem to have disappeared out of thin air. Come to think of it. Huaidu couldn't help but shiver, what he was most afraid of on the battlefield was that the enemy was dark and I was clear, which was inevitable for every commander. Originally, the tactics of sneak attacks and wolves were the best used by the Mongolian cavalry, but now it seems that the Song army has treated them in their own way, not only Huaidu, but also several other commanders are also uneasy in their hearts.

It's hard to describe!

――――――――――――――――――

The Mongolian cavalry came overwhelmingly, in fact, the Song army infantry soldiers who participated in the actual battle for the first time, it is impossible to say that they are not afraid in their hearts, but Yin Yu did not give them time to be afraid and timid, and the word "Yin" in the front waved the flag back violently, seeing such a formation, the Song army light armor foot soldiers who had trained almost subconsciously ran in the direction where they came!

These guys didn't have so much strength when they rushed up just now, but now they seem to be like divine help, one is running faster than the other, and the originally strict formation has dissipated cleanly, and it is impossible to see that these are the soldiers in the front of the dignified Tianwu Army.

Tianwu Jun's face seemed to have been lost by them.

Yin Yu was also not slow, but he was still left behind, but a smile appeared on his face, when he was training this gang of guys, he still made Jun have a lot of crooked ideas, and directly asked Jiang Hao to let the dog behind his back. More than a dozen vicious dogs like wolves and tigers pounced on them, and the Song soldiers naturally ran fast. Now the Mongol cavalry is behind them, and the formation is similar to that of a dog.

It seemed that he had long expected that the lightly armored soldiers who rushed out would run back again after a while, and the big shields at the front of the Song army's formation were neatly separated to both sides, flashing a passage, and the Song soldiers were in an orderly manner, and they calmly retreated to the position where they had just rushed out in the road between the shields.

It seemed to be frightened by the performance of the Song army, and the Mongol cavalry that swept quickly grabbed the reins of their horses, but they immediately reacted that this was just a group of vulnerable cowards, and they laughed and galloped again.

It was as if as long as he rushed over, those shields were like papier-mΓ’chΓ©.

The Mongolian commander had some doubts in his heart, but the matter had come to this point, and there was no room for hesitation, no matter whether these southern barbarians wanted to lure the enemy deep or were really vulnerable, the brothers rushed directly to the ground desperately. If you break through a hundred ingenuity, it will be the same useful at any time!

"Put!" The front chamber of the army, who was in charge of the command of the formation, had already resolutely given the order to release the arrows before the last few soldiers entered the shield array. Dense arrows roared over the heads of Yin Yu and the others who came from behind, and swept through the Mongolian cavalry.

The Mongol cavalry was not stupid, and the Song army's bows and crossbows were strong. This is what his "predecessors" - Jin Jun has already admitted, so the best way is to give full play to the advantage of the cavalry's fast impact speed. Nearly 1,000 Mongolian cavalry were like wind and thunder, and they had already rushed to the front of the Song army in an instant. Although the Song army's bows and crossbows were shot very quickly, and there were already two rounds of effort in a moment, this only made more than 100 cavalrymen fall off their horses. With the remaining 900 men, it was more than enough to break through such a large array of foot soldiers in the eyes of the Mongol cavalry.

A sinister smile appeared at the corner of Yin Yu's mouth: "Kill!" ”

The shield array was separated, and a hundred heavy armored soldiers with giant axes took the lead, and the Song soldiers behind were holding assault rifles on their shields!

"Boom!" The assault guns were fired in a uniform manner.

A hundred assault muskets are enough to pull out a barrage of souls. The dense rain of bullets suddenly overwhelmed the Mongol cavalry that rushed in front of them. If each arrow can only knock one cavalryman, then this rainstorm of tiny iron bullets is overwhelming, and a few shots from each person are enough to lose consciousness, and the larger horses are undoubtedly far more injured than the cavalry.

Without waiting for the Mongol cavalry to come to their senses at the thunderous explosion of muskets. The heavily armored soldiers of the Song army had already begun to take steps, drawing a brilliant arc with a giant axe, and the Mongolian cavalry in the front, who had long been unconscious under the blows of iron bullets and lead bullets, was easily cut down.

However, the 100 heavily armored soldiers were still a little shorter, and soon the Mongol cavalry divided and surrounded them, pierced through this thin defensive line, and rushed straight to the shield.

The horses neighed, the men stood up, the horses crossed over the shields under the skillful control of the cavalry, and of course, some of the less skilled horsemen grasped the reins and let the horses kick on the shields.

After all, there were only a few Song sergeants behind the shield. It still can't be stopped under the kicking of the war horse. However, the Tianwu army did not only have these few tricks, the assault rifle went straight down, and the originally hidden anti-horse rifles pointed diagonally into the sky, this kind of spear or spear could directly stab the cavalry behind the shield.

And what's even more brutal. The Mongolian cavalry who crossed the shield on their horses was shocked to find that just behind the shield, in addition to a group of Song sergeants holding horse rejection guns, there was also a flashing Saimen knife cart, the tip of which pointed directly at the weak belly of the horse.

The men and horses fell together on the Saimen knife cart, and the flesh and blood flowed.

"Block!" Yin Yu's face was as pale as iron. The broadsword in his hand cut off the head of a Mongolian cavalryman, and the blood in his neck splashed on his face, which added a bit of murderous aura to this front compartment that usually showed stability. More Song soldiers also knew that the rejection of the horse pistol and the Saimen knife cart alone would not be able to stop these red-eyed Mongolian cavalry who didn't care about anything, so they drew their blades and pounced. Mongolian cavalry, you are so good on the horse, and now that you have fallen, the master has to teach you to be a man again!

Just when Yin Yu stopped the Mongolian cavalry with 5,000 foot soldiers, Ye Yingwu only had 50 cavalry around him, but he still rushed left and right among the Mongolian foot soldiers. Most of these Mongol foot soldiers were strong men who were pulled directly from the north, or captured after quelling the rebellion of Li Lan in Shandong, and their combat power may be three points stronger than those garrisons stationed in various places that have long been decayed, but compared with the hundred battles, they are not at the same level at all.

The fifty hundred battle capitals plus Ye Yingwu's personal guards were like warships breaking the waves, plowing a flesh and blood path in the crowd. Ye Yingwu rushed to the front, his clothes and armor were already full of blood, but he knew very well in his heart that there were not many people he had killed with his own hands, and the guards around him protected him to death.

Suddenly, a figure rolled down from the hillside on one side, but it was a Mongolian foot soldier, Ye Yingwu sneered and stepped forward, and the sword in his hand crossed an arc, lightly cutting off the head of the Mongolian foot soldier who was coughing in the smoke and dust. For this kind of enemy who has almost no defense, the surrounding guards don't care too much, and even keep it for the envoy, after all, the envoy has been killed. Covered in blood, but no one was cut in the end, once he got angry, he couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't be affected by the pond fish.

"You guy, how did you rob someone's head?!" A hoarse shout came from the hillside. Ye Yingwu looked at it in some surprise, but it was a thin figure, carrying a bladed knife, struggling to block the slashing of the Mongolian foot soldiers in front of him, and at the same time not forgetting to turn around and shout.

Ye Yingwu was suddenly a little speechless. This kid is already precarious, and he is still thinking about this head. However, at this moment when he was stunned, the thin Song soldier had been forced to stumble by the Mongolian soldier on the opposite side, and he didn't know where he got the courage, so he suddenly threw the knife in his hand, laughed and hit the soldier's waist.

The two of them just hugged and rolled down the hill until Ye Yingwu came under the horse's hooves.

"Protector!" The guards on one side shouted urgently, and the hundreds of battles on the periphery roared almost simultaneously to force back the Mongol foot soldiers who came up from all sides, while the people on the inner side picked up the crossbows on horseback, and the accurate and terrifying point shots made the Mongolian foot soldiers on the hillside who wanted to pounce on them only go down the mountain with screams and rolls.

"You kid. It's quite heroic to kill. Ye Yingwu smiled slightly and looked at the thin figure that struggled to get up from the corpse of the Mongolian soldier, the Mongolian soldier who was caught off guard and knocked down the hill had already been killed by the guards who rushed up.

Fresh hot blood stained the thin soldier's body, but he didn't seem to care anymore, even the eyes that looked at Ye Yingwu were red: "You get out of the way, I want to kill someone!" Avenge the Ten Generals and kill these dog Tartars! ”

A personal guard just wanted to scold, but was retreated by Ye Yingwu, and he had already vaguely guessed what was going on, Ye Yingwu's heart was also a little heavy, and the smile on his face dissipated. said solemnly: "Yes, he is a good boy of the Tianwu Army!" Are you interested in being someone's personal guard? ”

"Your guard? What kind of goods are you, don't get in the way, those Tartars haven't killed enough! "The thin soldier covered in blood is the little Yangzi who pushed the bloody battle of the entire northern slope to the **. It's just that he is almost losing his mind now, and as he speaks, his hands have begun to tremble and grope for the blade from the ground.

Apparently the blood had scabbed over in front of his eyes, and he couldn't see friend or foe and the blade clearly.

Ye Yingwu sighed softly, this kid is not very old, but he is also fighting in front of him like this. It stands to reason that it does not meet the recruitment standards of the Tianwu Army, I don't know who secretly released the water or this guy ran by himself, now is not the time to think about this, it is impossible for him to stay here all the time, once the cavalry loses speed, it will be surrounded by the infantry on the periphery and eaten alive.

"What kind of goods is so-and-so?" Ye Yingwu didn't laugh angrily, and hit Xiao Yangzi with his sword, "Look at this flag above a certain head, you will know who it is." This confrontation is also the time to end, if you have a big fortune, you will go directly to the Chinese army's big tent after the war to find so. ”

Before the words fell, Ye Yingwu let out a long roar: "Hundred battles, go back with a certain kill!" ”

The leaf character waved the flag in the wind, and the red flag like blood hunted and danced. More than fifty cavalrymen urged their horses, like a sharp sword, to make a way through the dense crowd of Mongol foot soldiers. On the other side, Jiang Tie also brought fifty cavalry to join Ye Yingwu, and Ye Yingwu was only a few wounded, and there were more Mongolian foot soldiers attacking the southern cottage, and Jiang Tie still lost a few men after all.

But these are not a big deal, Ye Yingwu sneered and reined in his subordinates, and several fireworks signals rose from the formation!

Almost at the same time, the war drums sounded in several Song military camps in the north and south, and the foot soldiers of the brigade rushed up the hill and then rushed down from the mountain!

Under the red flag, the rolling tide is like a flat ground. The Mongolian foot soldiers who were about to rush into the north and south cottages were pushed straight down the hillside by the Song army, and more Song army foot soldiers were like endless rivers, lakes and seas, pouring down from the hillside.

In the distance, the red flag danced, and two or three thousand Song Army infantry brigades appeared in the north and south, and they faintly formed a posture of encirclement.

The Mongolian infantry cavalry, who had already been beaten, realized that the Song army had been on the defensive before, just to delay time for their infantry brigade to detour from other passes. As long as the Mongol cavalry is blocked in the valley, and then with these foot soldiers, it is enough for the Mongolian foot soldiers to be surrounded here!

"Don't let any of them go, kill!" Yin Yu, who had been pressed and beaten by the Mongolian cavalry, also roared and rushed forward. The lightly armored infantry who had just run back and forth followed closely behind, and all the shields slowly separated, but just as the Mongolian cavalry was about to rush in, a wave of Song soldiers had already gushed out.

"Put!" On the cliffs on both sides, the long-lying crossbowmen stood up at the same time and pulled the trigger. As long as they are still standing on the cliff and have unconsciously penetrated the Mongolian cavalry, don't think that they will be able to escape!

Of course, the bow and crossbow were secondary, and the rolling boulder fell straight from the cliff, and the more than 100 Mongolian cavalry on the back road originally found that something was wrong, and wanted to turn their horses' heads and rush out in the rain of arrows, but they were smashed by the falling rock.

"Since you're here, you still want to go back?" Looking at the Mongolian cavalry that had been killed and retreated step by step, and had lost its speed advantage, Yin Yu sneered.

Behind the wall, the bed crossbow that has been waiting for a long time will never be silent again!

I don't know when, in the already chaotic formation of the Mongolian foot soldiers, a black flag quietly fell in the wind. (To be continued.) )
