Chapter 37: The Shocking Change (II)

The mountains and rivers in the darkness trembled to the sound of horses' hooves, as if the omnipotent, all-devouring god of darkness trembled, and retreated in the sea of torches that burned half of the sky. The bright moon and the starry sky have all disappeared, and some are just horses galloping like dark clouds in the wilderness.

If it was a row of monstrous waves, the Anji army between the two mountains was a reef at the top, either the roaring waves were beaten into splashes, or the reef was crushed in the continuous impact.

"Shoot the arrows!" At the head of the slightly thin camp wall in the huge waves, angry shouts came and went. The dense arrows were like locusts that came from all over the world, harvesting cheap life in the darkness ahead. And the darkness also echoed with different pronunciations, and although there were not many, but very tricky arrows also shot out from the dark night that symbolized the unknown and symbolized death, and accurately hit the soldiers on the wall.

"Bang!" This is the sound of the assault rifle, an early firearm that was far from reaching the range of later generations, but fortunately its great lethality was enough to make up for its lack of distance. In the faint light of the fire, every light rider that leaned out of the sky would be swallowed up by tongues of fire, or fall off their horses with screams, or whine for their lives, and turn into meat under the hooves of the robe and horses that followed.

Su Liuyi was silent, watching a famous commander, a famous capital head, and a famous ten generals methodically directing the soldiers to attack the enemy who was getting closer and closer. The Southern Song army was known for its good defense, and those tall and strong walls and camps were almost a nightmare for the Mongol cavalry.

"General Qiyu, the Tartar's trebuchet is up!" A deputy commander hurriedly jumped down from the watchtower, took three steps and made two steps to rush in front of Su Liuyi.

At this time, the trebuchet was still a continuation of the small trebuchet that was easy to carry and could follow the horse team in the era of Genghis Khan's Western Expedition.

Of course, now the Anji army is holding on to a camp that is far inferior to the city, but it is also a waste of effort to knock down this thin wall.

"Bang!" There was another loud bang, but it was not the sound of a rifle firing, but the sound of a stone bullet fired by a trebuchet smashing against the wall. The entire wall only trembled slightly, and there was no damage other than for one soldier to fall.

"Bang bang bang!" A series of loud noises continued to be heard, and as the trebuchets were in place one after another, the wall could not help but tremble violently in the attack of such intensity.

And on the mountains on both sides of the left and right fronts, the sound of fighting has become louder and louder, and the two camps have been rising raging fires, I don't know if the defenders did it intentionally, or the attacking army shot fire arrows into it, in short, in the firelight that dyed the red sky, even Su Liuyi, a veteran who had been fighting for many years, had a somewhat unsightly face.

Even if it is already very underestimated, Su Liuyi still did not accurately grasp the combat effectiveness of the local Xiang army, seeing the fire rising into the sky, he can basically conclude that a stick of incense will not be able to do it, the camps on the hills on both sides will be lost, and then all the Mongolian cavalry will gather together and launch a far more fierce attack than now.

"Hold on!" Su Liuyi shouted coldly, pulled out his saber, wisps of chill seeped out from the flashing knife, and several personal soldiers who had not experienced the battle formation on Su Liuyi's side subconsciously shivered.

Su Liuyi casually threw the saber into the hands of the deputy commander, and in his calm and almost cold voice, he revealed an irresistible domineering: "I want to see who dares to retreat." Once there is such a thing, you know what to do?! ”

The deputy commander didn't even hesitate, and immediately bowed his hand: "The last general understands!" ”

Seeing that the deputy commander returned to the watchtower, Su Liuyi bowed slightly, snatched a divine arm crossbow from his own soldiers, and walked straight to a bed crossbow that was shooting desperately. Several stone bullets may have missed their heads, and they smashed over the wall and smashed into front and behind Su Liuyi, as if they were a provocation to this brave general.

"Anji Army, kill the enemy!" Su Liu Yi raised his arms and shouted, taking advantage of the kung fu of the bed crossbow to pull the trigger of the divine arm crossbow fiercely. After a sharp thud, the arrow popped out quickly, through the hole, and into the darkness.

Although I don't know if I was shot, everyone believed that one of the enemies who kept falling off the horse's back was shot by Su Liuyi.

"Anji Army, kill the enemy!" Countless soldiers shouted under the blazing torches, countless arrows tilted wildly in the piercing sound, and the whole darkness seemed to have been ignited by this sound and this scene!

Feeling the murderous aura rushing to the face, the Mongolian army in the distance was also the sound of horns, a group of light horsemen rushed like a desperate rush, perhaps only a small half of them could rush through the arrow block, or maybe only five or six of the small half of the people could shoot arrows and return calmly, but they did not flinch because of this, the steppe people also have their innate murderous spirit and courage to fight more and more bravely.

"Bang!" Another stone bullet smashed into the wall, and the whole wall trembled.

But the Anji sergeant, who was already red-eyed, did not let go in the slightest because of this, but just pulled the trigger almost mechanically and frantically, pouring all the arrows in the quiver down. At this moment, the strong army trained by Huaishang's blood and fire showed its absolute strength.

The official road leading to the front is guarded by such a small camp, and the original road to heaven has become a trench that is difficult to cross, and it takes countless blood and corpses to fill it if you want to take a step forward, but a team of light horsemen is so fearlessly rushing forward, and one trebuchet throws the stone bullets into the distance aimlessly but without hesitation.

The big war is in full swing, the big war is in full swing!

On the hills on both sides, the fire was fierce, but the sound of killing had subsided, and the figures of people staggering and running showed that the Mongolian light cavalry had broken through the camp and were chasing the fleeing Southern Song Dynasty army in all directions. And in front of the camp in the center of the official road, countless corpses were almost piled up in the trenches and fields, and the Anji army was like a never-ending grinding plate, grinding all the flesh and blood!

Su Liuyi, who kept pulling the trigger, subconsciously looked farther into the darkness, where the sky was lit up by continuous torches, Su Liuyi knew that no matter how crazy the Mongolian army charged, there would be a limit, once the casualties exceeded Ashu's capacity, even if there was no need for reinforcements, the Mongolian army would naturally leave, Ashu has always been a calm and difficult opponent, and he would not sit back and watch his elite be exhausted early.

Maybe the current Ah Shu is even more anxious than himself.

Thinking of this, Su Liuyi couldn't help but smile coldly.

One of the ten generals had already been wounded, and the arrow in his arm must have just been pulled out, and now he had to hold it with his other hand. The ten generals strode to Su Liuyi's side, and his tone was a little hurried, not at all like an iron man who had just experienced life and death:

"General Qiyu, there are not enough arrows in the army・・・・・・"

Su Liuyi was stunned, and the roar in the darkness still shook the heavens and the earth, and he had no intention of stopping the charge. The entire wall was also swinging wildly in the dense stone bullets, and the soldiers even had difficulty climbing the ladder up the wall.

"How many rounds are enough?" Su Liuyi took a breath of the night breeze full of the smell of blood and forced himself to calm down. Obviously, he had underestimated Ashu's determination, but if he wanted to step over from here, he would have to leave another piece of meat.

The ten generals just wanted to speak, just when a few stone bullets smashed impartially on the watchtower behind Su Liuyi, the war drum was hit by the stone bullets, and with a crisp "click", it was already out of place, smashed through the railing, and smashed straight into the commander of the Anji Army standing below!

"General!" On the watchtower, on the side of the bed crossbow, countless soldiers turned their eyes over, and subconsciously let out a shout.

This is followed by "Bang! With a bang, the ten generals had already slammed into Su Liuyi, and he was hit head-on by the war drums that fell from the sky, and a mouthful of blood spurted out with a "wow", even if he didn't die, he would fall into the root of the disease.

Su Liuyi staggered a few steps and fell into the dust, a few arrows crossed the wall and nailed to the ground on his side, and the arrows sank deep into the ground. However, Su Liuyi didn't care at all about this other disaster that fell from the sky, this middle-aged man who had been fighting bravely on the front line of Huaishang for many years, his eyes were already red, and the rolling killing intent seemed to be the cold wind in the harsh winter, completely bursting out!

Looking at the commander of the First Army who strode over and held his bloody right hand tightly, the ten generals smiled, and while holding back the blood not to spray blood on the general's armor, he muttered: "General ・・・・・・, there are still ・・・・・・ and ・・・・・・"

It's a pity that he didn't complete his mission after all, and closed his eyes under the gaze of countless soldiers. The blood-stained hand also silently broke away from Su Liuyi's hand and fell into the dust, blood gushing out, staining the land red. It was also a red war drum, like a silent monument.

Several shield-wielding soldiers hurried over to cover the Quartet for Su Liuyi. The few arrows that fell from the sky just now almost sent Su Liuyi, who had just escaped, into a situation of no return, so everyone had to be careful.

"Boom!" The assault musket roared again, presumably the corpses of the Tartar light riders had filled the trench that was not very deep, and the cavalry finally assaulted the bottom of the camp, forcing the Anji soldiers to fire the assault rifles at close range.

Through the thin wall, everyone could hear the shouts close at hand.

"Rejection of the saber cart!!" Su Liuyi's heart suddenly tightened, and he shouted hoarsely.

The bed crossbow chariot quickly retreated, and the dozens of horse-repellent chariots filled with sharp blades similar to the Saimen knife carts slowly pushed forward, forming a crescent-shaped phalanx, protecting the camp tent behind them. The 3,000 soldiers in the camp were already draped all over their bodies, and a huge shield and a bed crossbow filled the gap between the sabre carts, and behind this semicircular array, there was a dense array of spears.

"Boom!" The wall collapsed with a bang, and by the light of the fire, the soldiers could already see the hideous faces of the Mongolian light horsemen and the bright sabers raised high outside the wall.

With the collapse of the wall, the watchtowers on both sides also collapsed after all, and the soldiers standing on the upper floors did not take a step back from beginning to end, but just shot the last arrows in their hands at the close enemy as cold as a machine.

"Kill!" It was too late to retreat, Su Liu Yi simply gritted his teeth fiercely, and pulled out the Pu knife brought by the ten generals who had just died because of saving him, his body was like electricity, and the blade was sharp, and he went straight to a cavalryman who crossed the wall first.

The cavalry was also a centurion level, seeing the courage of the comer, the bloody nature of the prairie boy was also stimulated, and the saber skillfully slashed on the oncoming Pu knife, who knew that Su Liuyi was just a false knife, and he actually walked with the knife, and the moment the two knives struck each other, the fierce general with the tiger's back and the bear's waist slammed into the horse.

The centurion screamed and fell off his horse, leaving only the glare of the knife in his eyes. After a while, Su Liuyi, who was covered in blood, did not look back, and went straight to the two cavalrymen behind. Behind Su Liuyi, a thousand soldiers of the Anji Army didn't have time to retreat, they shouted and threw away the divine arm crossbow, drew their sabers and greeted them.

There are more than 100 pikemen following closely behind, densely flashing with cold guns and white tassels flying in the wind in the firelight, silently symbolizing a strong force, even in front of an enemy several times their size, they do not hesitate to jump forward with iron bones!

Anjijun has its own pride!

"Kill!" Su Liuyi had already slashed four or five cavalrymen in a row, and although the Pu knife in his hand was a little curled, it danced without leaking. Perhaps because they were accustomed to the general's fearless and fearless first-in-command, the veterans who controlled the bed crossbow did not rush, but skillfully wound and shoot with extraordinary calmness.

Thick crossbow arrows several zhang long often whistled past Su Liuyi's armor, setting off gusts of wind and waves, piercing through those cavalry who wanted to sneak attack from the side and rear.

It's a pity that these more than 1,000 Anji troops are a minority after all, and they finally began to be cut, surrounded, and eliminated in the hands of the cavalry who rushed up under the black pressure. Everyone is fighting to the death, and the direction in which everyone falls points to the unknown distance without exception!

Anjijun has its own pride!

The rolling tide pressed Su Liu Yi and more than 100 long-fought elites in front of the big array. During this period, there were many reckless cavalrymen who rushed into the array, but unfortunately all of them died tragically under the bright blade of the rejecting saber cart. Immediately, all the Mongol cavalry turned their horses around and began to encircle and suppress the last hundred or so remnants of the soldiers who were still desperately resisting.

"Anji Army, fight!" Su Liu Yi shouted loudly, this bloodied general stood at the forefront of the entire array, arrogant, ruthless, and tenacious! It's not so much that he's hoarse, it's hysterical. This is a noble warrior fearless madness!

The infinite morning light and infinite light poured on his body, and the sun had risen in the east, but it was a pity that the armor that was already full of blood could not reflect the dazzling light of the sun. However, all this can't change the scene of this general standing proudly like a bloody god.

"Anji Army, fight!" The remaining 4,000 or so soldiers shouted at the same time, most of them were recruits, but the bloody scenes that were taking place in front of them had quietly concealed their fear of war, and were replaced by the blood gushing from their chests. Anji Army, war, war, war!

Anjijun has its own pride!

More than 100 veterans of a hundred battles relied on each other and formed a circle in front of the crescent-shaped knife formation, and Su Liuyi was in the middle of it. At this moment, there are no generals, no soldiers, no distinction between high and low, all of them are noble warriors, and they did not hesitate to hand over their backs to the robes, and to the fronts to the blood-stained swords in their hands!

They are like the most abrupt and hard reef on the beach, and all the black waves that crash on them will eventually be shattered, shattered into droplets, and disappear into the rising golden crow.

Through the collapsed wall, it can be clearly seen that the distance is no longer a barren grass, after countless cavalry trampled on it, those weeds have dissipated, leaving only a few lonely trees, standing between heaven and earth, casting silhouettes as the sun rises.

The unknown darkness in the distance was finally torn apart by the sun.

A burst of horns sounded outside the layers of cavalry, and although they were a little reluctant, the Mongol cavalry, which had been charging upwards like a ferocious spirit just now, still had to retreat slowly.

The soldiers of the Anji army, large and small, also seemed to have collapsed, gasping for breath, but they no longer had the strength to chase and kill. As far as the eye can see, the corpses of the two armies are piled up in front and behind the once empty wall, and the blood flowing freely has filled every small rut and hoof print.

The anti-horse saber array slowly opened, and the Anji soldiers swarmed up, one team of people methodically cleaned up the corpses and alerted the retreating Mongolian cavalry, while the other team of people rushed up to support more than 100 warriors who fell to the ground.

The identity is second only to Su Liuyi, and he is also in charge of commanding the deployment of troops just now, and the deputy commander of the Anji Army and the Horse Infantry Army, who was in charge of commanding the deployment of troops just now, helped Chi Chongshan to help Su Liuyi in the crowd, but he didn't say anything, watching the Mongolian cavalry retreat, everyone escaped from death, and Chi Chongshan also seemed to have been drained of the last trace of his soul. He himself knew that if Su Liuyi was killed in battle just now, then it would definitely be difficult for him to command the Anji army, and this strong army on the vertical and horizontal Huai could only collapse after all.

Su Liuyi patted Chi Chongshan's shoulder in turn, Chi Chongshan's body trembled, and subconsciously asked, "General, do you say that this tartar has really retreated?" ”

Looking back at the dense military formation in the distance, Su Liuyi shook his head and walked into the large array of rejecting horses: "It may just be a temporary retreat to rest and recuperate, or it may want to surrender." Ah Shu must have come in person this time, and he wouldn't just return in vain after losing his troops like this. You must know that the people in the north who add oil and vinegar to the court and fall into the well are no less than on our side. ”

Chi Chongshan's brows that had just stretched furrowed once again furrowed: "Then let's?" ”

Su Liuyi looked up at the higher and higher sun, and said with a smile: "Nail here." Someone will come to our rescue. ”

But after saying this, even Su Liuyi himself didn't believe that there would be no one to come to reinforce, and he and the entire Anji army could only do this, and then it would just be the annihilation of the whole army, as early as when the Huaishang bloody battle was fought back then, he should have died, and now he is still alive, which is really a great luck, not a loss!
