The severe pain made Yang Wu sober up, he jumped up, and didn't care about the arrow that pierced his cheek, so he threw himself at Lin Liang, Lin Liang saw that the other party's face was full of blood, the arrow pierced his cheeks, and he looked fierce, and he had already lost three points in his heart, and swept a knife, wanting to force the other party away, and wait until other companions came up to besiege. But he didn't want Yang Wu to avoid it, he rushed forward, and he had already entered the inner circle of the opponent, and what slashed Yang Wu was not a blade but a swallow close to the gauntlet. Lin Liang was frightened, he was about to flee when he lost the knife, his right arm had already been grabbed by Yang Wu, and he lifted Lin Liang's body of more than 100 catties with a shoulder blade, and spun two circles to the ground, only to see Lin Liang's head under and his feet on top, and he hit the ground backwards, immediately dripping with blood, his hands and feet twitched twice, and he didn't move.

At this time, more than a dozen Manichaeans had already rushed over to help Lin Liang, and it could be seen that Lin Liang was lying on the ground like a broken jar, red and white flowing out, and his hands and feet were already weak with fright. Seeing this, Lin Liang stretched out his foot and picked up the single knife on the ground, and sneered: "Since you came, why don't you come forward to fight with the master?" ”

One of the leaders was strong and courageous, and he swung his knife and pounced, Yang Wu turned to the side, avoiding the other party's slashing, and slashed his neck with a knife in his hand, and immediately fell to the ground. Where did the rest of the people see such a scene, let out a shout and fled in all directions, Yang Wu jumped on the war horse, drove the horse to chase it, slashed and stabbed the spear, and killed several people in a blink of an eye, he killed the rise, broke the arrow on the gills casually, pulled it out, tore a piece of clothing and wrapped it, and slammed the spear straight towards the highest banner in the enemy's formation.

"Shoot the arrows, release the arrows! Shoot that guy to death! Under the flag, Chen Antian suddenly panicked, he never expected that the Song army who had just been shot by a crossbow arrow would be so strong, not only killed Lin Liang and a few subordinates who stepped forward to cut off their heads, but also rushed towards him alone. As the main general of the striker, he should have been in the formation, but in order to see clearly, he actually ran to the front, and he was inconvenient to move on the public opinion, so it was too late to dodge.

"Shoot the arrows!"

Under the command of the team leader, the archers hurriedly bent their bows and shot at Yang Wu, at this time they saw the true nature of the peasant army's rabble, and in a panic, more than half of them did not even pull the bow and loosened the string, most of them used the soft bow of four buckets and five buckets, which was the best but six or seven buckets, and it was not full, how to shoot through Yang Wuyi's iron armor, Yang Wuyi buried his head, and he was hit by three or four arrows on his body, but even the skin was not scratched a little.

"Fools, you don't know how to shoot horses if you have armor on your body!" Seeing this, the leader of the team scolded, but as the saying goes, there are only two shots in battle, and this is also talking about long-trained shooters, not to mention this kind of peasant army that has only been in the army for a month, seeing that Yang Wulian rushed over with his horses, dozens of archers threw their bows and scattered, exposing Chen Antian and Daqi.

"These bastards!" Chen Antian was already stunned with anger at this time, he was still full of ambition, and was ready to take Xiuzhou City alone and fight to Jingkou to isolate the Yangtze River. But I didn't expect to end up like this in a blink of an eye. Seeing this, a pro-soldier next to him hurriedly threw Chen Antian down from Chengyu, fell with a blue nose and swollen face, and before Chen Antian could recall what was going on, he heard a miserable scream, and when he looked up, the banner with the word "Chen" had fallen, and his ears were full of "Defeated, defeated!" Shouts.

"Quick, quickly order the whole army to go out of the village and pursue the thief army!" Zhou Ping at the head of the city was already stunned by the situation in front of him, he never expected that Yang Wu would rush into the enemy formation like this just now and take down the banner. In the period of ancient warfare, the whole army relied on the command of the main general, and if the banner was captured, even if the army was still there, it would lose its unified command for a considerable period of time, and even if the blow to morale was not considered, it would be difficult to recover the defeat. Not to mention the new army like Fang Lajun, it is very likely that the whole army will be defeated like this.

"Whoa!" Several generals responded, and couldn't wait to rush down the city tower, and Chang Zongtian on the side reminded in a low voice: "Can you send a signal and let Li and Kong attack from behind!" ”

"Yes, yes, send a signal!" Only then did Zhou Ping react, and he was busy and responded.

With the rumbling of drums, the gate outside the south gate was pushed open, and the first to rush out were dozens of cavalrymen, who formed a horizontal formation as soon as they left the city gate, and marched slowly forward, followed by crossbowmen, and at the end were infantry teams armed with spears. Under the cover of the cavalry, the crossbowmen advanced to a distance of about a hundred paces from the peasant army, and began to fire arrows, which fell on the bodies of the unarmored soldiers, splashing clouds of blood, and the formation of the peasant army began to disorganize......

Xue Liangyu looked back at the head of the city, where the banner was, and saw that there was no signal to attack, he turned his head impatiently, at this time Yang Wu had already rushed out of the formation of the peasant army, and in his hand was the banner that was taken from the peasant army, he waved the big flag a few times and threw it on the ground, driving the war horse to trample on the banner. Xue Liangyu looked at this scene jealously, and said in a low voice: "Why not me?" If only I had been! ”

With the help of two subordinates, Chen Antian struggled to get up from the ground. Thanks to the peasant army's grass creation, as the main general of the forward, he had no other sign except for a yellow turban, and was pushed down by his subordinates, and Yang Wu did not find this enemy general in the chaos. When Yang Wu came out of the battle, he was unharmed except for a few abrasions all over his body.

"Quickly set up a banner and tell the whole army that the main general is fine!" Chen Antian shouted loudly, he had commanded several group fights in the countryside for water sources and mountain fields, understood the importance of this banner, and knew that the most important thing now was to restore control over the whole army, as long as he could control these 10,000 people, until the brigade led by Fang Qifo came, he would be guilty of eating a leather whip at most. If the whole army collapses, even if he is not trampled to death by the rout, he will be cut off by Fang Qifo's head.

"Master, the enemy army is out of the village, and they are still shooting arrows at us!"

"Just shoot back, the bow and arrow in your hand are decorations!"

"Master General, it's too far, our bow is soft, we can't shoot at all!"

"Then go up and shoot back where you can reach it!" Chen Antian roared angrily, and at this time he realized how far he was from a qualified general.

"Xue Tou, the thief's archers have stepped forward, and it looks like they are going to get close to us and release their arrows!" A cavalryman pointed to an enemy archer who was coming out of formation. Xue Liangyu nodded, he looked back at the city, the big flag still didn't move, he thought for a while and said, "Let's drive those dog things back!" ”

"But Xue Tou, the banner hasn't moved!"

"Let's just drive those archers back!" Xue Liangyu said nonchalantly, he lifted the reins of the horse and shouted loudly to his subordinates: "You all follow me, let's go around in a circle and rush over from the side and catch those thieves!" ”

"Whoa!"

More than two hundred archers of the peasant army marched forward quickly, and the officer crossbowmen opposite them had spotted them and fired two rows of arrows at them. The first martial arts of a soldier in the Song Dynasty is to test the school This soldier can use multiple bows, and these crossbowmen of the Western Army are the essence of it, almost everyone can use a strong bow with more than one stone and two buckets, Zhou Ping's reward is enough, and the strength used is full of three more than usual. In just a few breaths, more than 30 people on the peasant army's side fell from arrows, and there was only one reason for them to endure and hold on: that is, to get close to those damned officers and soldiers and shoot back with their own bows.

"Cavalry!" Suddenly, there was a scream, and almost at the same time, a feathered arrow pierced the throat of the unfortunate discoverer, thrusting his voice back into his trachea. Xue Liangyu did not use a spear, but hung the spear on a hook in the saddle, but picked up the horn bow and shot left and right. With the sound of his bowstring, there were constantly enemies screaming and falling, because the enemy was generally not armored, and the distance was only thirty or forty paces at most, Xue Liangyu didn't even need to pull his horned bow to the fullest, the power of the arrow was enough to penetrate the enemy's body. Behind him, the other cavalry spontaneously flapped their wings and swept towards the archers of the peasant army.

Under the flank attack of the official cavalry, the archers of the peasant army collapsed almost instantly, except for a very few of the bravest people, the vast majority of them dropped their weapons and turned to flee in a safe direction - that is, the direction of their own army formation, but this made them a live target for the official cavalry, Xue Liangyu did not let his subordinates completely cut off the direction of the enemy's escape, on the contrary, he deliberately left a big hole, and then led his cavalry to follow the side and rear unhurriedly, and shot arrows.

"Liangyu is still a quick surname!" Chenglou Zhou Ping said with a smile, it was not difficult to hear the doting of an elder brother to his younger brother in his tone.

"Can't say that!" Chang Zongtian on the side replied: "It's not wrong for him to do this, the fighter is very well chosen, and there are times on the battlefield when the generals can't wait for the commander to give an order for everything, otherwise the fighter will be delayed!" ”

Zhou Ping was stunned and asked, "Then if everyone is like this, how will the lord command?" ”

"It's easy to say that if you win, you will naturally obey military law if you lose!" Chang Zongtian had a natural expression on his face: "You can't win the battle and come back and lose your head, right?" That's a stupid thing that a big turban can do, and the generals below are not stupid, and he doesn't dare to gamble with his surname if he is not sure! ”

"The victor should not be blamed, there is still a Stalin of the Song Dynasty here!" Zhou Ping couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this. At this time, a pillar of smoke rose on the other side of the river, which was a signal agreed with Li Cheng and Kong Yanzhou in advance - this meant that they had detoured back to the enemy's flank and were ready to attack.
