Chapter 223: How Fearful of Fighting in the Sky (I)

PS: There is a kind of confusion called the deposit manuscript is empty and the double change, and there is also a kind of confusion and calmness called the more people take the exam, the more waves

"Mongolian Tartars, it's a sentry horse!" Jiang Tie took a breath of cool air gently.

Ahead is Hutou Mountain, and up and down Hutou Mountain, you can almost clearly see the foot knights who are struggling to move upwards, and the black pressure is like locusts. It was at this critical moment that a Mongolian sentry appeared impartially in front of the Song cavalry.

After Jiang Tie's shout, they could clearly hear the voice of some surprise from the Mongolian sentry sent by the wind, obviously they did not expect to meet a cavalry of the Song army that seemed to be small in number but full of energy in this place at this time.

"Kill!" Since it has been exposed, there is nothing to hide, anyway, the rear wing of the Tianwu Army is not far from here, and sooner or later it will be discovered.

Sometimes it may be a blink of an eye that can change everything, but at least not now.

Hundreds of cavalry in a hundred battles increased their speed at the same time, and the crossbow in their hands was raised silently. The Mongolian sentry cavalry was very shocked by the appearance of this Song cavalry, and naturally they did not expect that the Song cavalry, which had always encountered the desertion, would have the courage to take the lead in attacking.

But surprise is surprise, at this critical juncture, no one can admit it, let alone the descendants of the sons and golden eagles on the grassland.

The horses' hooves shook the snow, and unlike the hundred cavalry who scattered and rushed up in a hundred battles, the Mongol cavalry quickly divided into two teams and drew their bows and crossbows, and all the movements were fluid, as if these people were born to do it.

"These tartars are not simple." Jiang Tie also expected that it was not a good thing to be able to come out to serve as a sentry cavalry of the army, and such a posture of the Mongolian cavalry proved this. However, the Tianwu Army has not yet reached the point of being timid because of its hundred battles.

As several ten generals raised their hands at the same time, the crossbows in the hands of the cavalry of the Hundred Battles burst out arrows at the same time, and after firing, they hung on the saddle casually, and then drew their sabers and quickly spread out to the sides. Originally, the hundred cavalry of the Hundred Battles were distributed in a scattered line, so the speed of dodging to both sides was also very fast. In the next moment, the arrows of the Mongolian cavalry had already whistled past the position where the cavalry of the Hundred Battles had been before, but few people were hit.

The Mongolian sentinels, who were also not good at stubble, naturally gathered in the middle and calmly dodged the arrows that swept from both sides. However, this also meant that their situation was somewhat unfavorable, which was equivalent to completely exposing their flanks to the sabber-armed cavalry.

"Withdraw!" The centurion of the Mongol cavalry jerked his horse unexpectedly, and the horse neighed and rushed straight ahead. The Mongol sentinels followed their centurion closely, and before they could recover from a hundred battles, they had easily run far away.

Jiang Tie immediately understood that this Mongolian cavalry did not mean to entangle with him at all, after all, they detected that there were Song cavalry around, and the best choice was to hurry back and report it, after all, according to the practice of the Song army. Where there is cavalry, there must be a large group of foot soldiers following.

These Mongol sentry cavalry did not come to destroy the cavalry of the Tianwu Army, but existed as sentinels, and now that they have discovered something, they naturally have to fulfill their responsibilities, even if they escape from the battlefield, it is understandable, even necessary, and has nothing to do with the courage of the Mongol warriors.

This shows that the centurion of this Mongolian sentinel is very calm and knows what to expect, which makes Jiang Tie can't help but secretly admire, but having said that, he can't let them just run back and report it so simply. Without Jiang Tie's orders, several ten generals had already led the team to catch up from both sides, and the crossbows kept whistling and shooting.

However, the horsepower of the two sides was about the same, and the sudden retreat of the Mongolian cavalry made it impossible for a hundred battles to react for a while, so they only killed a few backward Mongolian cavalry in twos and threes, and the sentry cavalry of the brigade soon disappeared without a trace.

"They've run away, and it's going to be a good show." Jiang Tie couldn't help but muttered in frustration, if the envoy knew about it, he might not know how to clean him up, "Quickly send someone to inform the envoy." The whereabouts of the army may have been revealed, so please make a decision quickly. ”

――――――――――――――-

Wang Jin leaned against the wall, and the knife in his hand was already curled.

I don't know how many times this is the attack, the Mongol Tatars are really crazy every time. There were even a few trebuchets brought in from the south side of the mountain. For the big village on the top of the mountain, maybe a few trebuchets don't threaten anything, but for the small village in the south that is already small and the wall is weak, it means a catastrophe.

The trebuchet continued to bombard along the gaps in the previous wall, resulting in the entire section of the wall being scarred, with five or six large and small gaps. Some may not be enough for people to enter, but at least it makes it impossible for the Song army to climb the wall near there to shoot arrows, which is enough.

There are more and more gaps, and the Mongolian infantry sees the hope of victory, and the impact is getting faster and faster, so that every time the soldiers of the Tianwu Army need to do their best and fight bloodily to be able to drive them down, but fortunately, because there are more carts transporting grain and grass in the small village in the south, once there is a gap, it can be quickly blocked, so after all, there is no Mongolian infantry to put in.

Tang Zhen staggered along the wall, and when he saw Wang Jin gasping for breath, he was a little surprised at first, and then said with a smile: "You are really blessed with a great life, and you are still alive and well, you really see the hell!" ”

"If so-and-so die, you're the hell." Wang Jin snorted coldly, "Not only is I alive and well, but I don't have any big scars on my body." After all, all of So's personal guards have fallen here, just to be able to protect So-and-so. ”

Wang Jin's voice was cold and low, and Tang Zhen couldn't help but shudder in his heart when he heard the bloody and tragic blood symbolized behind these words. Wang Jin's personal guards are all elite veterans of the left wing of the Tianwu Army, and they all died here, what can it mean?

Unable to make jokes anymore, Tang Zhen handed the clay pot in his hand to Wang Jin: "Come, drink some." ”

"What's that?" Wang Jin took it with some surprise, "Could it be that there is still wine?" ”

"You're thinking too much." Tang Zhen laughed and laughed, "This is a camp for storing grain, not a camp for storing wine, but just water in the camp." It's better than grabbing a handful of snow and eating it, isn't it? The two attacks of the Tartars were so ferocious that our people barely breathed, let alone drink water, so don't argue with someone who is not thirsty. ”

Wang Jin did not hesitate at all, picked it up and drank it in a big gulp. The surrounding snow was trampled back and forth by footprints, and it was no longer as white as new. It's quite agreeable to call it "mud", how dare you grab it as water.

"Where's the food?" After drinking the water, Wang Jin blinked.

Tang Zhen sneered: "No, go find it yourself, anyway, such a large camp is full of grain and grass for the army." No matter what, I can't starve you to death. ”

Wang Jin looked at him with some surprise, and said with a smile: "Old Tang, old Tang, you are really getting thicker and thicker-skinned, I didn't expect this scholar to lie without blushing." What is it in your hand behind your back, do you think you can't see it? Such a big round dry cake. ”

Tang Zhen threw the dry cake to him in a bit of anger, and then he took an open mouth and gnawed on it without an image, and said inarticulately: "What are you going to do next, or are you going to continue to stay here?" ”

Wang Jin was silent for a moment and then said, "How many of us still have us?" ”

Looking up, along the wall, there were either corpses or soldiers who were tired and difficult to stand up, and the soldiers behind were anxiously delivering water and dry food here, and the air was filled with a thick smell of blood, if it weren't for the cold weather, you could even smell the stench of corpses.

Taking a bite of the dry cake, Tang Zhen leaned against the wall where the blood had not dried. said with a wry smile: "There are fifteen thousand people who came out, and now it is estimated that there are still ** thousand, and basically all the people are here, whether they are panting or not panting." But it's okay, after all, there are fewer people from the Mongolian Tartars in this small village in the south, and our grain, grass and arrows are enough, so we can definitely still hold it. ”

Wang Jin frowned and said: "Firearms are no longer enough, it is estimated that we will survive the next time, and the next time we will really have to rely on flesh and blood to fight the Mongolian Tartars, but we still have a few strong ones?" ”

Barely poking his head out of the gap in front of him. Tang Zhen finally said helplessly: "The Mongolian Tatars are numerous, they have thirty or forty thousand people at the foot of the mountain, and they are divided into two groups to attack in turn, but our manpower is too small. It is impossible to separate, so the Mongolian Tatars can recuperate, but we have to keep in front of us, and we will naturally be exhausted in the long run. ”

"The main village is still fighting fiercely." Wang Jin said softly, "Listen, trebuchets and the sound of killing have never been cut off. Before, we were only here to rush and kill. I didn't care, but now I can hear it clearly when I take a breath. ”

Tang Zhen nodded: "Although the walls of the main village are thicker, and the number of catapult crossbows is also more, but after all, the main force of the Mongolian Tatar infantry is there, and I am afraid that the attack will be much more crazy than these in front of us." ”

Wang Jin slowly stood up and patted Tang Zhen on the shoulder: "Now don't say that our Tianwu Army and the Mongolian Tartars are wrestling, in fact, a certain and Yang Bao are also wrestling." These two camps must be held to the death, and whoever can't hold it first will be better than whom. We can't afford to lose this person in the left wing of the Tianwu Army, so we have to fight no matter what. ”

"I don't know where the back of the envoy is, and Xiangyang has already made it clear that he is sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, so we can only put all the people on Hutou Mountain." Tang Zhen said with a wry smile, "Hutou Mountain has now become a lonely mountain. ”

Wang Jin sighed softly, then turned around, pointed to the top of the mountain and said, "Lonely Mountain?" Look, our flag is still flying there, and the Tianwu Army will never be a lone army that no one wants. It's not just Ah Shu and 100,000 Mongolian Tartars who are watching, it's not just Xiangyang who is watching, in fact, the envoy is also looking at us, in fact, everyone in the world is looking at us. ”

Tang Zhen was stunned, just silently chewing the dry cake.

Reaching out and grabbing the clay pot and taking another sip, Wang Jin said lightly: "An army that wants to save face will not win, but an army that does not want to face will not win." The reason why X and Yang Bao are desperately staying here with so many brothers is to tell the whole world that this Xiangyang, this Hanshui, and the Tianwu Army have done their best and worked hard! As long as there is one of us standing here, Ah Shu will not want to set foot on the top of the mountain. ”

After being silent for a moment, Wang Jin then looked at Tang Zhen: "The glory of the Tianwu Army needs everyone to defend it. Since this Hutou Mountain is already ours, it will always be ours. inch by inch, the Great Song Dynasty has retreated again and again, and the Tianwu Army has no reason to continue to retreat. What's more, this Tianwu army, it stands to reason that the whole army should have been wiped out during the first bloody battle in Macheng, and the thousands of remnants at that time finally came to this day step by step, not only because God blessed them in the dark, but also because of the hearts of the soldiers and everyone. There is a belief that we will win. ”

Tang Zhen Huo Ran straightened up, although Wang Jin said it in a very small voice because he was tired, but every word that came out. Tang Zhen felt the sonorous force. This is a veteran who has participated in the bloody battles of the Tianwu Army, telling him about the glory and pride of the Tianwu Army.

We are the Tianwu Army, and from the moment of the bloody battle in Macheng, the Tianwu Army has never been conquered!

"Fight again?" Tang Zhen looked at Wang Jin with blazing eyes.

"Why don't you fight it?" Wang Jin said lightly, looking at the red flag fluttering behind him. "We are the Tianwu Army, the robes of the Tianwu Army, are we still afraid of a ghost Tartar. And don't you believe that the envoy will come to save us after all? ”

Tang Zhen nodded: "I believe it, and I believe it, because he is Ye Yuanjun." ”

Reaching out and patting Tang Zhen's shoulder, Wang Jin threw away his saber with a curled blade, and then picked up a knife casually, waved it twice at will, and nodded with satisfaction. While patrolling along the wall. Although none of the guards around him had died on the battlefield, when Wang Jin's lonely figure walked under the wall, one by one the soldiers still subconsciously straightened their backs as much as possible, looking at the commander who led them and the commander who led them.

Because we are the Tianwu Army!

"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 fight against each other in 20 years・・・・・・"

I don't know who sang first, and soon the military song of the Tianwu Army echoed inside and outside the entire camp. These soldiers, who were still exhausted just now, didn't know where to get the motivation at this time, and sang the song of running away at the top of their voices, and everyone's eyes flashed. I don't know if it's high morale or crystal tears.

The bloody battle of the eldest husband and horse was able to put the Mongolian Tatars in a dilemma at the last moment, and let the red flag flutter on the top of Hutou Mountain, which was enough to comfort this life.

The singing of Shannan Yingzhai is also clear to hear from the mountain top village.

Stretching out his hand and patting the trebuchet, Yang Bao subconsciously looked south in some surprise. Immediately smiled slightly: "Wang Jin is going to fight to the death." ”

"Commander, what about us?" A capital head hurriedly asked, with a puzzled look on his face, "Two big holes have been smashed into the wall, if it weren't for the commander to lead people to the top in time just now, and let the Mongolian Tartar cavalry rush in, everything would be over." ”

"Keep put, quick!" Yang Bao shouted at the soldiers who controlled the trebuchet, and after a long time, he turned back to look at the head of the capital, and replied lightly, "The left wing of the Tianwu Army is already desperate, is the Chinese army going to look at it with all its pockets, they are all Tianwu Army, and they don't want to have such a big gap." This mountaintop village must be defended to the death, and it will be guarded like a rock! ”

The stones brought by the Mongolian trebuchet from the bottom of the mountain flew past Yang Bao's shoulder, and smashed right on the body of one of the soldiers behind him. Yang Bao frowned slightly, walked quickly to the wall, and let the stone bullets of the trebuchet whizz above his head.

Several heads hurriedly greeted them, and before they could salute, Yang Bao waved his hand and immediately asked, "Is there any sign that the Mongol Tartars want to continue the attack?" ”

These people who were guarding the gap all looked at each other and shook their heads: "The Mongolian Tatars have just retreated, and I am afraid they will not come up for a while." ”

"No one can let up." Yang Bao nodded, his voice was cold, with irresistible strength, and said slowly, "This Hutou Mountain is not only guarded for a certain person, nor is it guarded for the envoy, it is guarded for half of the mountains and rivers. If Hutou Mountain is conquered by the Mongol Tatars, Xiangyang will be surrounded on all sides again, and then the Great Song Dynasty will no longer be able to stop the Mongol Tatars. ”

Several of them looked at Yang Bao in surprise, they rarely saw their own commanders so cold and serious, and nodded at the same time. Behind him, the soldiers had already opened their mouths to sing the military song of the Tianwu Army, and among the arrows and stone bullets like locusts, the figures were busy back and forth.

Looking up at the sky, Yang Bao clenched his fists.

No matter how big the casualties are, Hutou Mountain must be defended!

This is not only a promise to the envoy, but also a promise to himself, as long as the Tianwu Army still has a soldier, the Mongolian Tartars don't want to cross the thunder pool by half a step. (To be continued.) )
