Chapter 30: Confrontation
Meng Hui turned his eyes to look at Gao Huaiyuan and said: "This guy is too arrogant, it's not a way to go on like this, if he wins for a while, our morale will be over, and the next battle will be difficult to fight, you still have injuries on your body, let me teach this guy a lesson!" ”
Gao Huaiyuan naturally wouldn't say that Meng Heng was not that guy's opponent, he didn't want to let a famous general's flower wither in this small Zaoyang County, so he smiled indifferently and said: "Brother Meng really thinks highly of that guy, but he is just a reckless man, why don't you end up with him?" Or my brother to go over! Huang Yan! ”
Huang Yan, who had long been eager to try, immediately shook the reins of his horse when he heard the sound, and promised, "What does the boss command?" ”
"You dismount and fight, this guy is very good at riding, you are not his opponent on the horse, let him see how powerful you are Huang Yan! Be careful! Only win, not lose! Gao Huaiyuan commanded.
The reason why Huang Yan was allowed to fight was because Gao Huaiyuan understood Huang Yan's hand, and he also saw from the previous two formations that the strength of this golden general, although the strength was fast, but the tricks were not delicate, he was a reckless man, and although Huang Yan looked like a hippie smile all day long, he had put a lot of effort into marksmanship in the past two years, and he was very fast in tossing and turning, and the double-hook gun in his hand made it as weird and tricky as a poisonous snake, and it was difficult for ordinary people to deal with him, and he should be able to restrain this golden general with his experience. Gao Huaiyuan had confidence in him, so he would let him fight, otherwise, he would not have taken this risk.
"Order! Rest assured, boss! Huang Yan was immediately overjoyed when he heard this, turned over and jumped off the horse, arched his hand to Meng Heng and said, "General Meng, the little one is gone!" ”
"Be careful!" Meng Heng nodded and agreed, but there was a worried look on his face, although he knew that Gao Huaiyuan's skills were far above him, but he didn't know much about Huang Yan's kung fu, this battle was very important, he was worried that Huang Yan had gone wrong, but he saw Gao Huaiyuan's confident appearance, and knew that this Huang Yan was a good brother who was very caring to Gao Huaiyuan, and it was estimated that with Gao Huaiyuan's temperament, he should not let his brother go to death, so he agreed.
"The little one gets the order!" After Huang Yan agreed, he shook the double-hook gun in his hand, and then ran towards the front of the two armies.
Meng Zongzheng was having a headache about this matter at this time, but he didn't expect that he had just led the army here, and he had two defeats in a row, and he had the intention to end this heads-up, and another defeat in the province would affect morale, but if he started a war like this, it was a little unfavorable to himself, and he also saw the thoughts of the Jin army, and was hesitating whether to send someone to fight, or when the whole army was on the way, he saw a young man rushing out of the left flank of the Chinese army, and rushed towards the Jin general.
"Who is this man? Why do you want to fight? Meng Zongzheng immediately became a little angry, it should be his order to send people to fight, and this young man obviously did not get his consent, so he said angrily.
At this time, Meng Heng came to him on a horse and reported to him: "Lord Xuan, this person's name is Huang Yan, he is a person under Commander Gao, and he wanted to fight in Xia, but Commander Gao let him go out instead of Xia!" This is what I agree to, please punish you! ”
Meng Hui never called Meng Zongzheng his father in front of everyone in the army, but called him an official position, which was done to avoid suspicion, and he also called himself a junior general to Meng Zongzheng and took over the matter.
Meng Zongzheng was a little displeased, and said in his heart that his son was still a little young, too impulsive, Gao Huaiyuan was really good, and his kung fu temperament was quite powerful, but how could he be up to such a big task with a young man under him?
So he reprimanded: "Nonsense, this is in front of the two armies, how can it be child's play?" If this son is defeated, don't you know the consequences? ”
Meng Heng didn't have a bottom in his heart, so he lowered his head and didn't dare to speak, and at this time, Huang Yan had already run quickly in front of the golden general, pointed at the golden general with the double-hook gun in his hand, and scolded: "Stupid big man, what are you yelling at?" I'm not in such a hurry if I want to die! I'm here to give you a ride! ”
The Jin general was showing off his might and continued to scold the war, asking the Song army to send someone out to fight, but he didn't expect that a child ran out of the Song army, jumped over and scolded himself, so he said angrily: "Who are you?" A little thing that has not dried up dares to come over and send it to death, is there really no one in the Southern Dynasty? ”
"Killing pigs with a cattle slaughtering knife, with your color, can you use it against you in the future? The master is enough, to tell you, the master is a small township in Daye County, and it is just right for you to clean up! Huang Yan shook his head and was angry with him.
This time it can make this Jin Jiang dizzy, and he shouted: "Since you are looking for death, don't blame the uncle!" Look at the ......"
Saying this, he slammed down on Huang Yan with a wolf's tooth stick, and the war horse also rushed forward, people borrowed the horse's momentum, and the horse helped others, as if Huang Yan was about to be crushed.
Song Jun gasped, they admired the courage of this young man, but no one was optimistic about his ending, such a young man, being beaten to death with a stick, it was really a pity, so some people closed their eyes and didn't want to look any further, they already thought that Huang Yan was finished.
But after Jin Jiang hit a stick, his eyes flickered, Huang Yan suddenly disappeared, and as a result, the stick he slammed out fell to the vacancy, almost did not flash his old waist, and even rushed over with people and horses, but at this time Huang Yan flashed behind him, shook the double hook gun, and stabbed at the Jin general without saying a word.
Jin Jiang was completely defenseless, he didn't even see where Huang Yan was, he was so stunned, he felt that something was wrong with the left rear, and he saw Huang Yan's figure in the corner of his eye, so he gasped in fright, but many things happened in an instant, he held a mace in his right hand, he was old with a trick just now, and the left side happened to be an empty door at this time, and Huang Yan just started from his left side, so that he didn't have time to parry, only heard a snort, this guy only had time to stumble on the horse, and avoided the ribs, But he didn't let go of his waist.
Huang Yan struck his waist with a single shot, and the sharp tip of the spear pierced into the gap in the side of the armor, and effortlessly pierced the tip of the spear into his body.
This Jin Jiang is considered unlucky, a careless was picked under the horse, the mace in his hand was also lost at this time, the pain made him roll on the ground, so that the ground was full of blood, Huang Yan was not a man's master, went up and stepped on his chest, this foot almost trampled his sternum, almost trampled on the Jin general, and then a gun handle smashed on this guy's brain, this guy snorted, and was knocked unconscious.
Huang Yan will also be funny, one hand grabbed this guy's foot and neck, and then dragged him to run, chased a few steps and caught up with the war horse of this guy, grabbed the reins, and said noisily: "This horse and his armor are considered master's!" Ha ha! After that, he turned over and got on the horse, just turned sideways, dragged one of the guy's legs on the ground, and ran back towards Gao Huaiyuan.
The people of the two armies were immediately dumbfounded, this situation greatly surprised them, they didn't expect that such a fierce general of the Jin Army would be killed by a Song Army's Xiangyong so easily, and even dragged back with men and horses, this matter is a bit too!
As a result, the two armies didn't react, just watched Huang Yan take the war horse, and then pulled the golden general and ran back, until he was about to run back to the township barracks, Zhou Hao and Zhou Jun ran out and took over the stunned golden general, Huang Yan laughed and ran back, Zhou Hao and Zhou Jun dragged the golden general into the formation like pigs.
Originally, if he was careful, Huang Yan wanted to clean him up, it was really not easy, but he didn't expect that Huang Yan would move so fast, and he would be so tricky, and he was dizzy by Huang Yan's anger, so he was angry, and he was careless, and suddenly fell into Huang Yan's way, and was stabbed by Huang Yan.
When both armies understood that the matter was over, Huang Yan effortlessly won this heads-up victory, and even the men and horses were captured, so the Jin army was a little confused, and the Song army immediately let out a cheer.
Meng Zongzheng was also stunned, and after reacting, he twisted his beard and smiled: "There are no weak soldiers under the strong general!" This son is amazing! Command the left and right armies to attack immediately! ”
A rapid drum beat sounded in the middle of the Chinese army's array, and the left and right wings of Hu Zaixing and Chen Xiang's troops immediately acted collectively, shouted in unison, and then took neat steps and pressed towards the Jin army, and the heads-up ended, it was time for the group fight!
The Jin army suffered a lot of blows, and the morale suddenly fell again, and the end of the face was not depressed, I wanted to hit the morale of the Song army again, but it turned out to be a success, and now the whole thing is to steal chickens and rice, seeing that the Song army has taken action and killed them, so he immediately ordered the cavalry on both wings to attack and disrupt the formation of the two wings of the Song army.
Gao Huaiyuan stood beside Meng Heng and silently watched the confrontation between the two armies, this was a rare learning opportunity, and he couldn't miss anything.
I saw Hu Zaixing and Chen Xiang's two armies, in the sound of war drums, marching vigorously, for the first row of pikemen erected a forest-like spear, followed by shield bearers, archers staggered forward in rows, each row is about a hundred people, open a very wide formation, all the heads are standing in the middle, command the soldiers under their command to advance, five are a battalion, two are crossbowmen, two are pikemen, among the spearmen is a shieldman, action, to the enemy to produce a huge pressure.
Gao Huaiyuan and the others watched with enthusiasm, this is the real field battle, and this kind of battle is more exciting than the offensive and defensive battles of the pass or the city.
Five hundred cavalry on each flank of the Jin army immediately rushed out of the formation and killed the two wings of the Song army, trying to stop the two wings of the Song army from squeezing their large array, these Jin troops still used the old method, first jogging, then slowly accelerating, when they were about to enter the field of an arrow, the speed of the horses was raised to the highest, and then each took off the bow and arrow, ready to ride and shoot.
As soon as the Song army saw the Jin cavalry approaching, the spearmen in the front row immediately squatted down, raised the spears forward at a thirty-degree angle, and the guns were pestled to the ground, forming a row of guns in front of the array, and then the shield hands stepped forward, covering their bodies with shields, forming a shield wall, and the crossbowmen in the hands of the crossbowmen stepped forward first, raised the crossbow in their hands, and with a shout from the capital, the crossbowmen fired at the same time, and immediately buzzed into the air from the rain of arrows, and fell towards the oncoming Jin soldiers and cavalry, and then these crossbowmen did not look at the effect of the launch, They immediately retreated, out of the way, and the archers immediately took their place, opening their bows and aiming, just as the Jin cavalry rushed into range of the archers.
After the first round of crossbow arrows fell, some of the Jin cavalry immediately fell from the arrows, and the formation began to be a little confused, but it had little impact on them, such a situation happened in every battle, the cavalry had already been mentally prepared, they pressed their bodies down, many people dodged the crossbow arrows that were shot, even if they were hit by the arrows, they also had armor on their bodies, which could have a certain resistance effect, so this round of blows was not serious for them, the Jin cavalry continued to accelerate, rushing towards the Song army, and the cavalry straightened up and began to draw their bows, ready to release the arrows.
The bow of the cavalry is relatively a little softer, and the strength is a little weaker, after all, it is inconvenient to use force on the horse, and they are not as elite as when the country was founded, so when they opened the bow, the archers of the Song army have already released their arrows one step ahead of them, and this time the arrows are more dense, so there is a group of golden soldiers who fell off their horses, and then they were trampled to death on the way forward by the war horses that rushed from behind.
And the Jin army also began to release arrows at this time, the arrows of both sides staggered in the air, the sound of swishing and the galloping sound of the war horse was mixed together, after the arrows fell, the Song army also immediately fell down with arrows, and let out a miserable scream......
And the archers of the Song army kept releasing arrows, from the initial upward shooting, with the distance of the opponent's cavalry closer, it became a direct shot, more and more golden soldiers were hit by arrows, and the war horses could not escape the catastrophe, after the arrows, the horses lost their front hooves, and the cavalry above fell out, and the people who landed on the ground did not expect to stand up again, and then the war horses immediately knocked them away, or trampled to death, and some people broke their necks on the spot, showing a strange posture, lying on the ground, and the blood immediately dyed the earth red.
Under the shouts of the capitalists, the pikemen firmly grasped the spears in their hands, and forcefully aimed the spears stably in the direction of the Jin cavalry, they didn't have to make any moves, at this time they could only wait quietly, waiting for the Jin soldiers to collide with themselves, with their own strength, crashed to death on the spears, once they stood up and held the spears to fight, even if they stabbed the Jin soldiers, they wanted Lima to be knocked out by the Jin cavalry, so this was their only choice.
At this time, the retreating crossbowmen had completed reloading, under the command of the officer, the archers gave way for them, so that they stood behind the shield soldiers, at this time the Jin cavalry was almost rushing in front of them, and even they could see the beards on the other side's faces, so the crossbowmen immediately aimed and fired, so close distance, the cavalry in the front row of the Jin army fell down again, starting from the crossbowman put the first arrow, a total of Song army only had time to put three rounds, and the Jin army arrived in front of him.
In front of the spears like a forest, the Jin army in the front row had no choice but to bump into it, and immediately the neighing of people and horses resounded through the sky, and many Jin soldiers were pierced by the spears with their horses, but they also opened the passage for the later Jin army at the cost of the people, although the Song army spearmen and shield bearers in the front row stabbed the Jin soldiers who rushed over, but their spears could not withstand such a huge force immediately, and they broke one after another, under the impact of the Jin army's war horses, many Song soldiers were immediately knocked upside down and flew out, By the time I landed, my sternum or skull had shattered, and I couldn't see it alive.
The originally tight front suddenly appeared a gap, and the follow-up Jin soldiers immediately rushed into the Song army's two wings from the gap, and these Jin cavalry who rushed into the Song army's army formation waved their swords or iron spears, maces, iron thistles and other weapons, and wantonly waved at any Song army that appeared around them, and suddenly set off a bloody storm.
"Plug them! Go up and block them! Don't let them turn around! Drag them to death! The experienced commanders immediately roared, mobilized their shield bearers to step forward, and blocked the passage of the Jin cavalry with manpower, and the two sides started a close battle.
The screams of the soldiers on both sides were mixed together, and the Song army was constantly hit by the Jin cavalry, fell into the crowd, and was quickly trampled underneath, the Jin cavalry relied on the impact of their horses, and the Song army formation on both wings was chaotic, and the weapons of the Jin soldiers on the war horse hit the Song army, constantly harvesting the life of the Song army, and after the formation was chaotic, the resistance of the Song army was very weak in front of the Jin army cavalry, and a large number of Song troops immediately fell in pieces, However, the cavalry of the Jin army was still charging forward in the array of the Song army.
Gao Huaiyuan looked at the cavalry of the Jin army, and secretly gasped, no wonder the ancient cavalry was valued by all countries, they did have proud capital, in front of the cavalry, the infantry seemed so weak, he began to worry about the Song army on both wings, if the Jin soldiers broke through their formation, then the Song army on both wings was likely to collapse, in that case, Meng Zongzheng's Chinese army would be affected by their rout, and the Song army would be in trouble.
Meng Heng looked at the battle situation on both wings expressionlessly, turned his head to look at Gao Huaiyuan's expression, and said with a slight smile: "Brother, don't worry, the cavalry of the Jin Army is not as powerful as you think, they are about to lose their impact, and the formations of General Hu and General Chen are not so easy to break through."
