――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
The ideal is very plump, but the reality is very cruel, this strong man is really right, the soldiers of the Song Army can't shoot arrows now, don't look at the crossbow shooting is very powerful, but it takes a few minutes to load an arrow, and a few minutes on the battlefield are very important. But this does not mean that they will be caught, the horse thieves have lost the advantage of charging, and there is only the advantage of condescending, at the moment they only hate themselves for being too careless, and did not bring all their bows and arrows, and now they are taking other people's iron buckets like dogs biting hedgehogs - there is no way to eat.
People just hide inside, bump and can't open, cut and can't rot, and from time to time they have to be shot down by others. The horse thief is not stupid, and it is not a matter to see that it goes on like this, looking at those Song people who are squatting on the ground and constantly tinkering, they know with their butts that they will definitely have to eat arrow rain when they get it right. After weighing it again, he shouted unwillingly, and the remaining twenty or so horse thieves ran back with him at a rapid pace.
The horse thief is so good, he can come when he wants, he can leave if he wants, Song Jun really only has to watch, except for the two squad leaders who use the divine arm crossbow to knock down two slow runners, there is nothing they can do about others, they can only be described by an idiom, that is, they are out of reach.
"Run...... Ran? Just run? "It's the first time these forbidden troops have fought with the Liao, and seeing them run away, many of them haven't come back for a while.
"Hey! It's a pity that I didn't leave them all behind, and I killed them well, so why did I run away? One of the squad leaders looked at the fleeing horse thief and said unwillingly.
"Come on, you, when we weren't bullied by other cavalry before, you also entrusted the blessing of the saint. Let's take a closer look to see if any of the brothers are injured, hurry up and clean up the battlefield, take back all the crossbow arrows, and don't leave the dozens of horses that are not dead. "After all, Shen Zhongyuan is a person who has participated in the general battle, but he is much calmer than these people, if he didn't know the power of the repeater, he wouldn't have fought to the death with others!
"Oops! I was stabbed in the hand, Nima, I didn't even notice it just now, oh my god! A soldier suddenly came to his senses and shouted in an exaggerated voice.
"Okay, the fart is a big wound, just apply some medicine yourself, don't pretend to be weird there!" The squad leader glanced at the scratch on the soldier's arm and kicked him in the ass in anger.
After a while, the soldiers finished cleaning the battlefield and came back to report to Shen Zhongyuan: "Report to your lordship, we killed seventy-three enemies this time, captured thirty horses, and the others were too seriously injured. ”
"It's not good to stay here for a long time, presumably that mountain is the lair of horse thieves, and we will definitely not give up after being beaten so badly this time. Next time people are prepared, it's so easy for us, let's move quickly, and strive to join up with Yelu Suha and them as soon as possible! Shen Zhongyuan looked at the direction in which the horse thief disappeared and calmly analyzed.
"Understood, my lord, the small ones will be arranged, the captured horses are almost enough, let's also retreat on horseback, I just don't know if those adults can ride horses, they are all riding in cars all the way, and I haven't seen them ride."
"Special times, special treatment, you have to ride if you don't know how to ride, if you can't do it, let the soldiers take it, in short, hurry up and transfer."
"Yes, sir!"
Seeing that the danger was lifted, those civil officials were ready to put up a shelf again, but fortunately, Sun Furen was young and it was easy to communicate with Shen Zhongyuan, so he saved him a lot of trouble. As for the problem of horseback riding, it was not difficult for the civil officials of the Song Dynasty, after all, there was a royal in the "six arts" of Confucianism, and one of the meanings of this imperial was to ride a horse and drive, so most of them still knew how to ride a horse.
Everyone packed up, mounted the captured war horses, and walked crookedly in the direction of Konoha Mountain. Yelu Suha and the others, who were worshipping in Konoha Mountain, also found the smoke rising from the north, and when they saw that it was the location where the Song Dynasty mission was stationed, he was so shocked that he was out of his body, and hurried back with his men, praying that nothing would happen to him while running, otherwise his people would be in trouble.
If at other times, the Song people don't care about life or death, maybe they will be happier when they die. But this time he is the God of Wealth, if something goes wrong, who will give Liao money? Emperor Liao can't get the money, and he doesn't have to think about the fate of his people. Yelu Suha only thought about it a little, and he sweated profusely in the middle of winter.
At the same time, the horse thief cottage in Ma Mengshan also made a fuss, once upon a time, the eagle village that dominated the party suffered this kind of loss? More than 100 brothers jumped out alive, only more than 20 ran back in embarrassment, and the black-hearted eagle did not come out angry, and the strong man with the beard was punched and kicked, and only when he was angry did he ask him for the reason. When he heard that there were weapons of mass destruction in the Song Dynasty mission, as well as ultra-long-range bows and crossbows, he not only frowned.
This group of Song Dynasty missions must have a great background, it is definitely not as simple as those guys who hide their heads and tails say, I said how they are willing to spend so much money to deal with a few Song people, it turns out that there is a lot of article here. Hmph, you dare to dig a pit for me, and when you get the money, you will send them to see Hades together. Thinking about it, things still have to be done, and in the line of doing green forests, you can recognize anything, but you can't admit it. This time, he no longer underestimated his opponents, and decided to go out in person, ordered more than 300 brothers, and took out the treasured strategic weapon, the bow and crossbow, and each of them had a pair.
Sun Fu and the others are not riders after all, they just know how to ride, so their speed is not fast. However, when the Black-Hearted Eagle began to pursue, they also ran out twenty miles, and their position was between Jerusuha and the Black-Hearted Eagle, and now it was up to them to see who arrived first.
"My lord, someone is chasing after you again, and there are more people than last time!" A brocade-clothed guard in charge of guarding the rear team hurriedly ran to report to Shen Zhongyuan.
"Lord Shen, are we going to run or fight?" Sun Fu, who was advancing in parallel with Shen Zhongyuan, also heard the content of the report, so he turned to Shen Zhongyuan and asked, he was just a civilian official, and he was not good at marching and fighting.
Shen Zhongyuan still reined in his horse, took out his clairvoyance and examined it carefully, before replying: "Lord Sun, the situation this time is not as optimistic as last time, not only are they more than twice as many people this time, but they also brought bows and arrows. And now there is no place to hide you and your lords around here, for the sake of today, as long as you speed up, you can run as far as you can, I hope that Yelu Suha and the others can come back in time! ”
"So serious? Well, if you are an expert in war, I will listen to you, and this official will let everyone speed up. ”
After some commotion, the speed of the Song Dynasty mission finally increased symbolically, but it still couldn't compare with the guys who ate on horseback, and the distance between the two was still rapidly narrowing.
"My lord, the enemy has gathered less than five miles, and at the current speed, they will soon catch up with us!" Jin Yiwei, who had been in charge of observation, once again issued a warning to Shen Zhongyuan.
"Stop" Shen Zhongyuan raised his arm and yelled: "It seems that you can't run away from others, so you have to fight to the death here!" ”
"Lord Shen, you and the brothers of Jinyiwei will withdraw first with all the adults, our brothers will bring people to fight with them, if you go back safely, take care of our family more, we are grateful! Also, remember to tell the saint that the former division of our temple did not embarrass the Great Song Dynasty, nor did he embarrass the saint! Brothers, rush with me! "The people who can be selected to carry out the escort mission are not stupid, one of the squad leaders saw the situation in front of him and had to make this choice, for them to dare to come to the army must have this awareness.
"Stop! The official didn't speak, what do you want to do! I, Shen Zhongyuan, have never been a person who is afraid of death, let alone a coward who left his comrades and fled for his life. How long do you think you can stop people if you go, and then we can run away? In vain, the saint trained you vigorously, and you don't have long brains, you are infantry, not cavalry, give up your strengths, why do you learn to charge? Shen Zhongyuan stopped the forbidden army who was about to rush back, and he scolded angrily, as a martial artist, he couldn't remember when he had last shed tears, tears were a shame for a martial artist, but at this moment he felt his blood boiling.
Seeing that everyone was staring at him in front of him, Shen Zhongyuan swore in his heart that he must take them home, he looked around, there was indeed no terrain to use, and only this kind of emergency moment could reflect the importance of talents: "All dismount!" They all killed the horses, piled them up in a circle, and wronged a few adults to hide inside! The two of you teams work together to form a circle and surround the adults! Since God has given us such an arrangement, then let's cherish it, strive to kill a few more, kill enough, I, Shen Zhongyuan, have the honor to fight side by side with you here, I feel very honored! Then let's fight together to kill the enemy and live and die together! ”
"Fight the enemy! Live and die together! ”
"Fight the enemy! Live and die together! ”
……
The surging atmosphere not only aroused the fighting spirit of the soldiers, but also the civilian officials were deeply affected, at least at this moment, they forgot their identities as scholars and doctors, and blended in with these Qiu Ba, who usually did not look at them.
One of the points that cannot be ignored in fighting a war in the era of cold weapons is morale, which is an invisible factor that has a huge impact. Don't think about putting aside the morale factor in all the examples of winning more with less, Zhang Fei of the Three Kingdoms can roar back the enemy army with a loud voice, what does it depend on, that is, morale. The morale of the general troops is gone, and the elite ones can reach two or three percent, and only those troops that inspire the will to die are the most dangerous, and of course the combat effectiveness is also terrifying.
And at this moment, Shen Zhongyuan and the others entered this state, not because they had any lofty beliefs, they were completely forced, but no matter what happened, at least at this moment they forgot to die, and when they saw the galloping horse thief, their eyes were full of anger and fighting spirit.
The battle also started three hundred meters away, and the first to attack was still the two squad leaders' crossbows. The fall of the two bandits seemed to blow the horn of battle, and the command ability of the black-hearted eagle was obviously not comparable to that of the strong man who only knew how to do things blindly, and he only shot two arrows from the other side, and judged the approximate attack distance of the weapons of mass destruction on the opposite side. In order to avoid a devastating blow, he immediately commanded the horse team to divide into two teams, two of which were scattered, and the assault was dispersed.
This order is undoubtedly the most correct when confronting the repeater, although the improved repeater is slightly farther away from the Liao bow and arrow in terms of firing distance, but the gap is not obvious. In addition, there are only four repeater crossbows at this time, but they have to be defended in four directions, and they cannot achieve the tactical goal of saturation attack at all.
Shen Zhongyuan and they are also facing another serious problem at this moment, that is, the forbidden army as the front division of the palace does not have a spear to resist the enemy, and cannot effectively prevent the horse thief from approaching, once the enemy approaches, it can condescendingly kill the people in the defense circle, which is fatal to the Song army, which has a very small number of people.
The black-hearted eagle's eyes were vicious, and it was precisely this that he took a fancy to, and he believed that as long as his subordinates gave full play to their guerrilla cavalry shooting skills, the opponent's iron bucket formation would not last long. If you can grab the other party's legendary weapon of mass destruction, this transaction is not a loss, and it is really a great achievement to dedicate it to your master. When he reaches his position, he doesn't need to charge by himself at all, as long as he says a word, the people below will run to sell their lives.
Looking at the rapidly approaching horse thief, Shen Zhongyuan unconsciously tightened his hand gripping the knife, he hadn't felt this kind of nervousness for a long time since he joined the army, could it be that he had become timid? Not only did he shake his head, but he quickly pulled out his beloved fine iron treasure knife and roared loudly: "The crossbows are divided into four directions, each attacking freely, and the shield soldiers pay attention to defense, concentrate on chopping the horse's legs and killing ......."
"Kill, kill, kill......" The soldiers' high-pitched roars broke the oppressive atmosphere in front of them.
