Chapter 8 Resisting the Enemy

"We lost six archers dead and ......nine wounded," shouted Zhang Qing first from the east, his side suffering the greatest casualties because he was the first to engage the enemy.

"Three of us died and ......five were injured," Gu Lao Er from the north also shouted.

"We didn't die, we only hurt two!" Guo Liang from the south also shouted.

"We have three coachmen dead! Hurt two ......," shouted the coachmen who were surrounded in the middle.

"Young master, there are no dead people in Zhuangzi here on our side, four of them were injured, all of them were slightly injured, and Gaojiazhuang killed four archers and injured six!" Zhou Hao also quickly counted the situation on the south side, and then reported to Gao Huaiyuan.

Gao Huaiyuan listened to a Mars, just a face, his side lost dozens of people, if they come a few more times, then they will still be finished, fortunately their own people have armor and bodyguards, and they did not die a few, otherwise Gao Huaiyuan would really be distressed to death.

"The sword and shield hand got on the horse, and shielded the archers with shields, and now they have all listened to me, and no one is allowed to release arrows without my orders! Don't be afraid, their Jin soldiers are also people, didn't they shoot down a few of them by us? This is just a face, and everyone is doing well! Hold on to me, there's nothing to be afraid of! Gao Huaiyuan shouted to the frightened villagers, but he didn't scold everyone anymore, but praised them and continued to cheer them up.

Although this one face, the Jin army took some advantage, but they were also a little depressed, they didn't expect a charge, actually did not immediately defeat the opponent, but also let them counterattack, lost a few cavalry, in the eyes of their main general, their own subordinates are a hundred times more expensive than the enemy's life essence, such an exchange ratio, he felt that he suffered a loss, so he suddenly became angry.

But he found that he really had no good way to deal with this rabble for a while, so he raised his bow and said: "Surround them, run up and keep firing arrows, I don't believe that I can't defeat them, as long as they escape, they will all become ducks!" Whatever you want! ”

So the group of golden soldiers attacked the chariot formation again, forming a circle to surround the entire convoy, and while running, they all aimed at the villagers in the convoy.

After the first experience, coupled with Gao Huaiyuan's encouragement, although the villagers were still a little afraid, but they also recovered from the initial panic, plus the archers on the car climbed up next to a shield-holding sword and shield hand, covering their bodies, adding a layer of security protection, and reassuring them, when they saw the golden soldiers surrounding them, the horses gradually approached the car formation, so the archers in the car formation took a deep breath, put the bow flat again, mounted the arrows, and aimed at the approaching Jin soldiers.

This time, the situation has improved a little, no one panicked and fired arrows by mistake, and they all stared at the Jin soldiers who were gradually approaching, waiting for Gao Huaiyuan's orders.

Gao Huaiyuan also raised his big bow, locked his eyes on a ten-division commander in the Jin army, adjusted his breathing, and aimed at him steadily, while Huang Yan, Zhou Hao and others also aimed at a Jin soldier and began to aim carefully.

When he saw that the Jin soldiers were already close to their effective range, Gao Huaiyuan shouted in a deep voice: "Shoot!" Then he immediately let go and shot the arrow, and the archers who were approaching him shouted loudly as they let go of their arrows.

At this time, the Jin soldiers also aimed at the archers in the convoy and fired their arrows, and the arrows of both sides staggered through the air and fell into the opponent's formation.

The sword and shield bearers immediately raised their shields, covering the archers and their own bodies, only to hear the sound of an arrow nailed to the shield in the chariot array, and the pop of the arrow falling on the cloth, and occasionally someone let out a few screams, but compared to the first one, the effect seemed to be much better this time, and the casualties were suddenly reduced a lot, even if they were hit by arrows, most of them were minor injuries.

And this time, because the township soldiers were prepared to shoot, and at the same time released the arrows, the density and accuracy of the arrows were also stronger, Jin Bing was unlucky, and he was shot over seven or eight people at once, and fell off the war horse, most of which were won by Gao Huaiyuan, after all, his junior team had to practice archery every day, and the quasi-head was naturally not comparable to the ordinary township warrior archers, and what made them even happier was that a martial arts captain in the Jin army array was shot in the throat by an arrow in this round of confrontation, and even a scream was not issued, he planted the war horse, and after rolling a few times, he hung up on the spot, attracting a cheer from everyone.

And this time the Jin soldiers were also ruthless, did not retreat immediately, but formed a circle, and constantly began to shoot at the villagers in the car formation, they were on horses, and each armor, the target in the maneuver was not easy to shoot, but the same villagers had shields and vehicle cover here, and it was not easy to hurt them, after the two sides went back and forth for a while, Gao Huaiyuan was too addicted to shooting, and killed four enemy soldiers in one go, even Huang Yan, a guy who was not very skilled in archery, shot over two enemy troops, The archers basically had their own gains, and no one missed, inflicting losses on the Jin army of more than a dozen people, and wounding one or twenty.

The main general of the Jin army saw that it was not a way to fight like this, so he roared and led the team to circle the horse out of the car formation, which made him dizzy, originally he thought that he would deal with a group of township soldiers who could only be regarded as a rabble, it was a matter of hand to capture, and it was not the same as usual, a charge scattered them, and then chased them with tails, and pulled them down, but he didn't expect to encounter a difficult bone today, not only did he not break up this group of villagers, but they took a lot of cheap, So he didn't dare to continue to fight with Gao Huaiyuan's gang using such a tactic.

When watching the Jin army retreat, the villagers in the car formation suddenly sounded a cheer, people are such a thing, everything has a process of adaptation, the soldiers are bearish, they have Gao Huaiyuan, who is not afraid of death, led the team, after two faces, they were not killed by the Jin army, and they repelled their two attacks, and suddenly most of them became bolder, and at this moment began to feel that the war was just like this, it was not a big deal!

Once they stabilized their spirits, the morale of these villagers suddenly rose, and they all stood up and shouted at Jin Jun, and their faces were happy.

When he saw Jin Bing retreating again, Gao Huaiyuan shouted again: "Brothers have done a good job, everyone has also seen it, Jin Bing is just like this, there is nothing to be afraid of!" Well, those who don't join the team should hurry up and treat the injured, find a place to cover themselves, and protect the injured! ”

So the coachmen and men who were hiding in the middle of the convoy hurriedly dragged the wounded together, found some safe places to bandage them with arrows, and the screams of the wounded immediately diluted their festive atmosphere just now, and everyone once again turned their attention to the cavalry of the Jin Army who had regrouped in the distance.

"Damn! These guys are a lot tougher than we thought today! Let the uncle rush in for a while, and he will definitely slaughter these bastards! The golden general reached out and pulled out an arrow stuck in the armor on his shoulder, and inserted it into the quiver with his hand, and moved his shoulder, because of the obstruction of the armor, the arrow did not hurt him, but it also startled him, to see if he was not injured, and then he scolded.

"Yes! These people use the car formation to deal with us, and it's not a way to fight like this! I think it's better to let the little one rush in with people, and after the little one hacks a few of them to death, it's hard for them not to mess up! A ten-captain who had followed him suggested.

This Jin general looked at the gap on the south side of the car formation, frowned, and felt a little risky after thinking about it for a while, but now there was no good way, so he nodded and agreed, and ordered: "It's okay!" Take your men and rush in and stir them up, and I'll cover you from both sides! Break them up, and today you take the first credit! ”

So the commander of the Ten immediately summoned his men with his horse, and said to them: "Listen to me, rush in with me, drive the rabbits out of the nest, and remember our first merit in today's battle!" ”

In the end, it is the elite of the Jin army, most of these people are Jurchens, and they are the more fierce people in the army, after listening to his words, these subordinates immediately agreed in unison, inserted the bow into the bow sleeve, and took off their respective weapons from the horseback, some people use long spears, most of them use short weapons, those with knives, and some use heavy weapons such as maces, but everyone holds a round shield with a diameter of about two feet in their left hand, protecting most of their bodies, and the elite cavalry of the Jin Army can choose the guy they have in their handsThis is also a major feature of their tradition!

The ten-captain took the lead, holding a shield in his left hand and a long sword in his right hand, and after a shout, he led his men and urged their horses to rush towards the gap in the middle of the convoy.

At the same time, the Jin general also mobilized the remaining cavalry, and followed them to charge towards the chariot formation again, and each of them held a horned bow to cover the charge of these people.

Gao Huaiyuan was staring at the movements of the Jin army at all times, and when he saw them act again, he immediately analyzed their thoughts, so he immediately beckoned and shouted: "The sword and shield hand spearman stepped forward, seal the gap for me!" ”

"Young master, slow down! Don't get in their way, get out of the way, let them in! At this time, Jia Qi, who had not moved, suddenly opened his mouth and whispered to Gao Huaiyuan.

"Huh? ......" Gao Huaiyuan paused for a moment, turned his head to look at the car formation, and immediately understood what he meant, and immediately changed his words: "Don't block the gap, line up on both sides, put these golden soldiers in front of you and then plug the gap, everyone else has it, the spear is inward, the archer doesn't care about the golden soldiers outside, turn around and wait for the golden soldiers to come in, shoot them!" ”

Everyone also understood what Gao Huaiyuan was going to do, and immediately responded in unison, the pikemen turned around at the seam of the two carts, and aimed their spears at the open space in the car formation, while the archers turned around and let the sword and shield men protect their backs, and the bows and arrows were aimed at the open space in the middle of the car array.

They're going to catch turtles in an urn! After the car formation was surrounded, there was not much place in the middle, and at this time, the people in the car formation were all leaning on the side of the vehicle, and even those coachmen and men also gathered on the side of the car to find cover, vacating a small place in the center, just enough to let the gold soldiers come in and kill these gold soldiers.

After Gao Huaiyuan saw that the car formation was ready, he suddenly shouted: "Remember not to hurt their war horses, this thing is very valuable!" ”

Everyone suddenly fell to the ground, and said in their hearts that their high-ranking team was still thinking about the war horses of the Jin Army at this time! What a money junkie!

As they had just set up, the ten-captain of the Jin Army led a group of shouting subordinates, and rushed towards the gap, and saw that there was no one blocking them at the gap, so he was overjoyed in his heart, and said that if they put a few pikemen in the gap, it would not be easy for them to rush in! This was a good time, saving a lot of trouble, so he shouted loudly, and under the cover of the arrows of the friendly troops behind him, he led his men to roar into the chariot formation.

Seeing that this ten-division commander under his command led people into the car formation without much effort, Jin Jiang sneered in his heart, and said in his heart, the township soldiers are village soldiers, speaking of the world or a group of rabble, the car formation actually left an opening to escape, and he didn't even know the defense, it seemed that this battle was about to end, and he even imagined in his mind the scene of wantonly chasing and killing these Song people, and a burst of happiness rose in his heart, and after sending another arrow, he reached out and inserted the bow into the bow sleeve, intending to pull out the waist knife, Waiting to slaughter the Song people who escaped from the car formation.

"General! Something is wrong! The other party didn't shoot back at us this time! A soldier beside him suddenly reminded him.

This Jin General's heart jumped suddenly, and he immediately thought that he rushed over this time and was not counterattacked by the Song people in the car formation, and then looked at the gap in the car formation, but saw that there was no one in the gap just now, and suddenly a group of sword and shield men and spearmen poured out, and quickly blocked the gap, and his heart was not good, and he was fooled!

At this time, the ten-captain happened to lead his troops into the car formation, grabbed the reins of the horse, and was about to raise the guy to slash and kill happily, but after looking around, the ten people were frightened crazy on the spot.

More than a hundred spears were erected around them, and the tips of the spears flashed with cold light, all of which were aimed at the ten of them, and the archers squatting on the car were also under the cover of the sword and shield hands at this time, turning their bodies into the car formation, pointing their bows and arrows at them, and the ten captains immediately understood that the secret path was broken! I was fooled, and I was given dumplings this time!

With Gao Huaiyuan's order, the sound of a bowstring immediately sounded in the car array, and one hundred and ten arrows suddenly shrouded the ten golden soldiers like flying locusts, and those golden soldiers suddenly let out a wail, and they fell off their horses, and their bodies were full of arrows, even if they were wearing armor, at such a close distance, they were still shot like hedgehogs, only the ten captains of the Jin army headed by him were fierce, although he was hit by several arrows, but still did not fall off his horse, but let out a wild roar, Turning back towards the gap, he rushed over, brandished the mace in his hand, and flew several spears that stabbed at him one after another, and burst the brains of a villager on the spot, and he could not die anymore.

Such a murderer immediately surprised the villagers, and did not dare to come forward to besiege him, and Gao Huaiyuan also roared, jumped up, only to see a flash of cold light in his hand, swept in front of this fang, and then looked at this guy, the action paused, the upper body immediately fell off the horse, and was split into two pieces by Gao Huaiyuan even with armor, the upper body fell off the horse and the lower body still sat on the horse's back, the intestines and internal organs at the two broken cavities flowed to the ground, and the upper body fell to the ground, and the upper body was not breathless, and the Wuzi rolled and struggled on the ground, and its condition was unbearable.

Listening to the screams coming from the car formation, the main general of the Jin army almost went crazy on the spot, so he roared sharply, and led the troops to continue to impact the gap, but then he was blocked by a rain of arrows shot in the face, and was shot over a few people, at this time he saw that several bloody human heads were suddenly thrown out of the car array, rolling in front of the car array.

So this Jin general had to circle his horse again and lead his troops out of the car formation, ran out of the range of the archers and gathered again, this time the morale of them was not small, much to their surprise, Jin Jiang shouted angrily, but saw that this car formation like an iron bucket was helpless.

Although they encircled the baggage team of the Song people, they saw it like a dog biting a hedgehog, and they had no way to say it, and for a while, they really had no way to take Gao Huaiyuan.

"General! These Song people are really damned, it's not a way to fight like this, let's use rockets! A golden soldier shouted to the golden general.

A sentence immediately reminded this golden general, and he immediately beckoned a team of subordinates and said: "You dismount me and light a fire, use rockets to ignite the opponent's car formation, and force them out for me, or burn them alive inside!" ”

So a group of golden soldiers immediately dismounted, lit a few torches, took out an arrow from the quiver, tied a strip of cloth, and got some ignition oil on it, and then lit it, aimed at the car formation far away, and released arrows one after another, shooting these ignited rockets at Gao Huaiyuan's car formation.

After Gao Huaiyuan dealt with the Jin soldiers who were charging into the formation, he turned his attention to the Jin army again, and as soon as he saw them dismount and start a fire, he secretly screamed that it was not good, and shouted loudly: "Prepare the water bladder, the enemy is going to attack us!" ”

Immediately awoke from the ecstasy of a small victory, he quickly removed the water bladder from the car or on his body, and threw it to the sword, shield and archers on the car.

As the rockets fell, many places on the rainproof tarpaulin of the car were immediately ignited by the rockets......
