Chapter 450: Three Arrows to Determine the Winner
Wu Songhan continued: "At the same time, it is necessary to ask General Li to send a naval division to the waters near Longwei Continent in case of accidents. The defense of the north of Yingzhou was still in charge of the third chamber, and the Dongcheng area needed to ask General Zhang's Imperial Forest Army to take over the defense, and General Li's sailors guarded the west gate. Two generals, do you think it's feasible? ”
Li Zengbo and Zhang Shijie said: "Of course, under one blow, you will retreat, and there is not much risk to our army, and there is no Mongolian army around Yingzhou City, and there is no hindrance." ”
Wang Anjie said with a smile: "Okay, Wang immediately reported the action plan to the Military Affairs Yuan, General Wu, you call the commanders of the 17th and 19th armies, Zhao Wenyi, Fan Xing, and the commanders of each battalion, to arrange a specific action plan." ”
"Yes, General, the last general will take his leave."
"Yes." After Wang An sent Wu Songhan away, he said, "General Li, General Zhang, it's lunch now, Wang has prepared a thin banquet, and the three of us are destined to gather in Yingzhou, but we have never had a good life. ”
"General Wang invited, but Li dared to disobey." Li Zengbo said with a smile.
Zhang Shijie also said: "It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate." ”
Although Wang Anjie is only the deputy envoy of the Lin'an Military Region, and his official rank is still below Li Zengbo, Li Zengbo and Zhang Shijie both respect their father, General Wang Jian, very much, and they have to give face for a light meal.
In the evening of the same day, Wu Songhan, the commander of the third wing of the Lin'an Military Region, personally led 5,000 cavalry from the Dongda Camp outside Yingzhou City, and took advantage of the night to go straight north. In the early morning of the next day, ten miles away from Longweizhou, Wu Songhan ordered all the soldiers to dismount and rest, and sent several scouts to Longweizhou to inquire about the news.
It wasn't long before all the scouts returned, and the Mongols seemed to be assembling in their camp, and the scouts did not dare to get too close, not knowing whether the Mongols were preparing to return or to go elsewhere.
Zhao Wenyi, the commander of the 17th Army, said: "General, give the order." ”
"Okay, according to the original plan, General Zhao, your Seventeenth Army will take the lead in attacking, General Fan, the Nineteenth Army will outflank you, two, remember, if there is a change, don't fall in love with the war."
"Yes, General, the Admiral understands."
Wu Songhan stepped onto the war horse and whispered, "Let's go." ”
Under the command of Wu Songhan, the 5,000 Song cavalry troops mounted their horses and galloped towards Longweizhou. Although there were only 1,000 Mongol soldiers in the enemy camp, for this cavalry of the Song Dynasty, the vast majority of them fought with the Mongols in the field for the first time. Excitement, nervousness, but more of a desire, a desire to win.
Although most of the officers and men of the Lin'an Military Region came from the original forbidden army, their combat effectiveness was completely different. It can be seen from the faces of the soldiers that they are not afraid of a field battle with the Mongol iron cavalry.
In the Mongolian tent in Longwei Continent, the deputy general Hu Zhe said: "General, why did General Han order us to retreat last night?" ”
Thousands of households said in a wordy manner: "The Imperial Forest Army of the Southern Dynasty is stationed in Yingzhou City, and there is a box of troops from the Lin'an Military Region of the Southern Dynasty stationed outside the city. Kuzhe, are the soldiers ready? ”
"General Hui, the assembly has been completed."
"Okay, pass the order down and return to the base camp of Lumen Mountain."
As soon as Shudu and Kuzhe left the big tent, they heard the herald report from the herald: "General Shudu, a large number of cavalry troops of the Southern Dynasty have appeared three miles to the south. ”
"How much?"
"About two or three thousand."
"Really? The cavalry of the Southern Dynasties is really bold, with only two or three thousand people, they dare to fight with our army in the field? He smiled and ordered, "General Kuzhe, send an order to all the soldiers to turn their horses and prepare to meet the enemy, but I didn't expect that we would be able to make a contribution when we left." ”
A thousand Mongolian cavalry soldiers lined up neatly in front of their temporary camp, and the one at the front immediately shot horizontally, and said to Wu Songhan, who stopped thirty meters away: "Come and get a name, you will not kill the unknown people under your grandfather's gun." ”
Wu Songhan took a few steps forward single-handedly, and sneered: "Xiao'er, listen up, your grandfather is the third commander of the Lin'an Military Region of the Great Song Dynasty, Wu Songhan is also, and if you invade our dynasty, this Longwei Continent is your burial place." ”
He laughed: "General Wu, General Ben saw that you are also a good man, how can you be so ignorant of current affairs, if you hide in the city wall, our army still needs to attack the city, in this open place, how can you be my iron cavalry enemy?" ”
"Ignorant child." Wu Songhan took out his bow and arrow as he spoke, "Dudu, aren't you Mongolian cavalry known as cavalry archers?" Do you dare to try it with your Wu Ye? ”
"Than an arrow?"
"Exactly, why don't you dare?"
He turned around and said, "Hu Zhe, did you hear it, these southern barbarians still said that they want to compare arrows?" You go and learn General Wu's archery. ”
"Order."
Ku Zhe was proficient in archery, and was one of the best in the vanguard battalion of Azihan, even in the top ten in the entire middle route army. Hu Zhezong immediately stepped forward and said, "Nanban, how do you want to compare the law?" ”
Wu Songhan said: "You and I each shoot three arrows, Hu Zhe, your Wu Ye let you shoot first." ”
"How can my Mongolian boy take advantage of you, we will decide the winner with three arrows, but we don't have to divide who comes first and who comes last."
"Okay, Hu Zhe, this sentence to you is also worth taking action from General Ben, come on."
Holding the horn bow in his left hand, he took out a feathered arrow from the quiver with his right hand, placed it on the bowstring, and easily pulled the bowstring to the full moon. In the eyes of others, Hu Zhe's movements are extremely simple and ordinary, but in the eyes of experts such as Wu Songhan, at this moment, Hu Zhe and his men and horses have faintly shown a momentum as stable as Mount Tai. Wu Songhan secretly praised himself, "Okay, it can be seen from this posture that Hu Zhe's attainments in archery are very high. ”
Wu Songhan didn't dare to slack off, the cloud-piercing bow in his hand was raised, and his right hand also put a feather arrow on the string, looking at the other party coldly.
In front of the two armies, both of them were very calm, as if the surrounding soldiers did not exist, and the soldiers on both sides were silent, only focusing on the spot.
"Kuzhe, take my arrow first." Wu Song shouted.
Kuzhe in front of the Mongolian formation did not answer, his right hand was loosened, and a feathered arrow shot out at great speed. The speed of Wu Songhan's arrow was also very fast, and the two feather arrows collided in the air in an instant, and then they both fell to the ground.
"Okay." The Song and Mongolian soldiers who were watching the battle couldn't help but speak out together and cheer for their archers.
"General Wu, good archery." Hu Zhe also put away his contempt and said, "Come and don't be rude, look at my arrow." ”
Hu Zhe mistook his horse slightly and shot a second arrow.
Wu Songhan sat firmly on his horse, and did not shoot his second arrow, but watched the opponent's feather arrow fly towards him.
The soldiers of the Song army who watched the battle all knew that Wu Songhan was known as the god of arrows, and those who did good deeds changed the widely circulated saying of "Gun Zhao Dao Lu " in the Song army to "Gun Zhao Dao Lu Arrow Wu." Of course, this statement is limited to the third compartment of the Lin'an Military Region. At this moment, although he saw that Kuzhe's feather arrow had arrived, he did not panic, but many of the Mongolian soldiers exclaimed. The Mongols admired the warriors and were good at riding and archery, and after seeing Wu Songhan's first arrow, they also felt admired, but at this time, they saw that the arrow shot by Ku Zhe was about to hit the other party, and they were also worried about Wu Songhan.
Just when Hu Zhe's arrow was only two palms away from Wu Songhan's throat, Wu Songhan moved. I saw that his right hand flipped over, and he had grasped the opponent's feather arrow in his hand, and at the same time, the opponent's feather arrow was on the string of the cloud-piercing bow in an instant, and this continuous movement did not pause at all, and shot out towards Hu Zhe in the opposite direction.
Compared with Ku Zhe, Wu Songhan's archery skills are already superior, and at this time, he deliberately showed off in front of the battle, catching Ku Zhe's arrow with his hand and shooting it back. You must know that Hu Zhe's arrow is extremely powerful, and ordinary people dare not grasp it with their hands, but Wu Songhan also has an advantage, that is, he has martial arts, and the martial arts of the Wu family, the three major families of martial arts, are extraordinary, far from being comparable to ordinary soldiers.
This seemingly simple action surprised the Mongol cavalry archers, who knew that the power of the horn bow in Kuzhe's hand was enough to shoot through two layers of ordinary armor, which showed the power of the feathered arrow, and the Han Chinese general on the other side could catch it with only one hand.
Hu Zhe was also taken aback, seeing Wu Songhan deal with it like this, knowing that his ability was slightly insufficient, but he couldn't lose face in front of the battle, so he had to turn his heart sideways and reach out to grab the feather arrow. When Hu Zhe's right hand grabbed the feather arrow that Wu Songhan shot back, it was conceivable that it suddenly shook Hu Zhe so much that the qi and blood in his body rolled, and even the mount under his crotch had to take two steps back.
"Okay." Although Hu Zhe's face was pale, he was extremely strong, and he gritted his teeth and laughed loudly, "There is still one last arrow." With that, he put the second arrow he shot on the string of the horn bow again. Although Hu Zhe's words were still resolute, he knew that he was no longer able to pull the horn bowstring in his hand into a full moon.
Wu Songhan took out his second feather arrow from his quiver: "General Hu Zhe, you are an opponent worthy of Wu's respect, if it weren't for the dispute between the two countries, maybe we could often learn from each other." ”
"Gossip, come on."
Wu Songhan sighed, his right hand relaxed, and a feather arrow as fast as lightning flew towards Ku Zhe, in the blink of an eye, the opposite Ku Zhe had already fallen off his horse with an arrow, and at the same time, the soldiers of the Seventeenth Army led by Zhao Wenyi had already rushed out. At the same time as Wu Songhan shot this feather arrow, he ordered in his mouth: "Rush!" ”
Shu Du's heart trembled, but he did not hesitate to say: "All the soldiers, rush, kill all the Nanban, and avenge Hu Zhe." ”
"Rush!"
"Kill!"
Thousands of households took the lead, and they were the first to rush into the formation of the 17th Army of the Lin'an Military Region, but seeing that the spears in their hands were swept with stabs, the Song soldiers in front of them had no enemies, and they fell off their horses one after another.
Seeing this, Zhao Wenyi, the commander of the army, was immediately furious, and stepped forward on his horse, with a long stick in his hand, blocking the capital.
