Volume 3 Mending the Crack in the Sky Chapter 132 (22)
Hundreds of giant axes marched like a wall, and with the voice of the tall commander's command, one step was raised, and the next step was fiercely chopped!
The Song Army's standard long axe weighs fifteen or sixteen catties. The axe handles are made of thick hardwood. With each wave, hundreds of mighty lightning bolts tore through the gloomy rain curtain!
But anyone who can rush to the front row of the array with a giant axe is a carefully selected man with long arms and strong strength, and most of them are northerners. Or Lao Qin, or Youyan Huben, or Hebei Xiong Zhen, or Hedong Caishi! Dressed in the heaviest infantry armor of the Song Army, he is hideous with an iron face under his belt, as if he is a golden armor warrior who has always guarded this land since the Qin and Han dynasties!
This kind of bear and tiger who can hold a giant axe and Mo knife and wear dozens of catties of heavy armor, slash in two steps, and advance into battle step by step. No matter which dynasty it is, the number of people is limited, and it is also the top storage of the Han infantry soldiers. These sergeants are selected, their muscles and bones are forged, their courage is cultivated, and they are equipped with heavy armor, and even if they are paid by a soldier in peacetime, they are comparable to the small envoys in the army. It costs more than the Iron Armor Heavy Rider. And this is just for the sake of trapping the zΓ i infantry sergeant, and it is more difficult to select it than to select the elite cavalry. And because of its slow movement, it is extremely limited to use, and it is a very cost-effective class. Even in such a huge field group as the Western Army before the Great Song Dynasty, such a pure giant axe and sabber trap heavy armor soldier almost no longer exists. Even if you want to use infantry to pull away the array, it is most likely just to use an ordinary military horse to put on a layer of armor.
And Xiao Yan has built a new army of his own family in the past few years, with such a wide range of soldiers, and with the huge financial resources that he has always mastered. With several years of bloody battles, the courage of the soldiers and horses under his command has been honed. In the entire upper four armies. This is a heavy armor soldier. It's just over a thousand people. The main force is still concentrated in Hedong, and there are only more than 200 in the Tianwu army.
During these days of siege and bloody battles, these more than 100 heavy armored soldiers did not hold any miscellaneous duties, did not participate in daily duties, and never participated in continuous and nerve-torturing peripheral offensive and defensive battles. Even the food supply in the city has begun to be restricted, even if Yang Zaixing is such a fine horse. Every day is just a multigrain grain rice with vinegar bean sauce and the like, which is rare to have a bit of dead horse meat. These elites still have one meat a day, enough polished rice, and it is easy to get a little wild vegetables and other fresh food, and they are also boiled into soup with horse meat, which is only for them. Some people in the army say sour words, horses eat well because the cavalry fights, even if Ma Qiang has one more or even a few lives, these guys are idle in the city every day to boil their muscles and bones, lift stones and wear heavy armor to run and consume energy, and when the time comes, they will let go of their belly and chew a lot, and one person eats the weight of several people. I only hate that my father and mother didn't give my family a grown man, otherwise I would be such a soldier. It's a blessing from the previous life!
These birds are extremely expensive to raise, but there are various restrictions on going into battle and fighting, not large-scale arrays, and there are enough archers and light cavalry to cover, and it is rare to exert their power. King Yan I was wise, and he established such a army in the army, which was a bit of a mistake!
For such ridicule in the army, they are always met with strange eyes and whispers that are deliberately heard behind them. How can these more than 100 heavily armored soldiers not be depressed in their hearts, and they have asked Liu Baozhong to fight several times. However, it is not easy for these soldiers to be selected and refined, and they are also members of the Tianwu Army. Liu Baozhong used it very heavily, but he was not allowed to fight at all.
To this day, the Tianwu Army itself has come to the aid of the floating river. The defenders of Yixian County went out of the city on a large scale for the first time to respond. Liu Baozhong released more than 100 heavily armored soldiers! And before, the archers of the brigade, because the heavy armor trapped soldiers advanced slowly and the formation was disjointed, in order to cover their advance along the lì, they also stood on the basis of resisting the Jurchen heavy armored infantry army, and paid heavy casualties!
Once the battle is engaged, these big men who are so suffocated that their eyes are red like blood can't wait to smash all the qi qi in front of them!
Today's battlefield situation was special, which limited the performance of the Jurchen's most powerful cavalry, and the rest of the troops fought desperately to give them the opportunity to unfold along the way. When they finally bumped into the Jurchen heavily armored infantry army, the elite of the Song army, which was often ridiculed, finally exerted all their power freely!
The Jurchen heavily armored infantry army, in such a non-stop swinging axe light, the Liao scale armor on his body was like paper paste, and there were only bursts of metal tearing and breaking sounds under the axe light! Every sound of metal tearing and shattering came, representing the body of a Jurchen heavily armored infantry soldier being split, and dirty blood splattered out like a spring!
It turned out to be a dense and heavy Jurchen iron armor array, but now I saw pieces of blood light splashing with the swing of the giant axe, and I don't know how many of the blades stretched out by the girl's true tartars hit these Song army heavy armor trap soldiers. Even if the spear of the steel barely broke through the heavy infantry armor, it lost its strength, and under the infantry armor of these heavy armor of the formation soldiers, there was also a layer of chain mail formed by iron rings, and after the chain armor, there was another layer of leather armor used to cushion the damage of blunt weapons! Even if you break the step armor, you can't tear the two layers of armor inside. Not to mention how many spears sparkled on the armor of the introducers, and the shaft of the spear broke. It is almost impossible to do damage to these giant spirit-like Song Army!
There were also many blunt instruments like hammers and hammers that struck these giant spirits wildly, causing sparks to splash everywhere in the rain. But these giant spirit gods are wearing mud shoes, and the iron yard is tightly gripping the ground, and the lower plate is extremely stable. Under the three layers of heavy armor, such a blunt weapon strike made their bodies not shake, no matter how fierce and tenacious the Jurchen armor warriors were, no matter how many means they tried to stop these heavy armored giant spirit gods. These more than 100 warriors who are like iron towers still raise their axes in a steady step, and then take a steady step to fall down the axe, and the next scene is that the iron armor is broken, the body of the iron armor is cut open, and the dirty blood is splashed up half a day high!
And the commander of the nicknamed Walker, who had stopped shouting orders, stepped out of his long legs, and rushed to the array seven or eight paces away. Deeply caught in the Jurchen brigade, in the crowd of short Jurchen armor soldiers, his height of nearly two meters was particularly eye-catching, and the weight in his hand was added, and the axe surface was like a giant axe with half a wheel like a lamp grass just circling and flying in his hand, and the axe light waved, and the blood rain seemed to be sprinkled in the direction of the sky from the bottom up! In a short period of time, he was almost dyed blood from head to toe!
In the midst of the cavalry fighting over there, Yang Zaixing had no intention of looking sideways. That's what I saw. For Yang Zaixing. Any sergeant who cannot fight on horseback. It's all like the mud on the soles of the old man's feet, and he doesn't look at it with his nostrils, and he can't wait to express his contempt and disdain for it with his own Adam's apple. The only foot warrior who made him approve a little was that stupid big Yang De.
There was a heavily armored army in the city, and Yang Zaixing naturally knew it. However, with Yang Yibang's temperament, these military horses who even have to cooperate with other military horses to cover and contain them when they go into battle are simply waste. Where can I compare to my Yang as soon as he hits the battle, and he can fight. Can you win the battle? is so edible as a straight thief, if he is the master of Liu, he will not let such a group of wastes into the city.
Now seeing the giant man's appearance, Yang Zaixing couldn't help but widen his eyes a little.
This bird man, compared with Yang De's ramming, I don't know which one is stronger! He has time in the future, but he wants to find this bird man to compete in martial arts!
However, before leaving from Hedong, I heard that Yang De's ramming goods were also selected into the heavily armored trap soldiers in the Dragon Guard Army. originally thought that this guy would be abolished, and from then on, he would not be able to go into battle except for eating food and salary for nothing, and Grandpa Yang would not be able to afford to compete with him after that. Now it seems. When I returned to Hedong, I had to continue to look for this rammed goods. As soon as I Yang collided, I was going to beat the invincible opponents of the four armies under the command of King Yan!
In the midst of a fierce battle. No one thought that Yang Zaixing could still turn such a boring mind. The Jurchen heavy armored infantry army, which was such a strong enemy, was even more slashed to the sky, and the military horses in front saw the bloody corpses left behind by the giant axe, and finally shouted and began to retreat. But the Jurchen rear was still surging forward with the sound of the trumpet. The Jurchen armor queue is even more chaotic!
The Jurchen armor soldiers who advanced from the north flank had more than 1,000 people, and all of them were engaged in the melee at this moment. Such a powerful step-down assault force is now hedgehogs gathered together, and they are no longer in an array, pushing each other and pushing each other, and all kinds of shouts are chaotic. And the Song army armor soldiers are still advancing step by step, rolling layers of blood light to destroy the Jurchen Tartars, more than 1,000 people!
The Jurchen armor warriors who advanced from the southern flank also discovered the changes in the central battle situation. The leader of the team was dumbfounded. The infantry battle failed, and now the heavily armored infantry war horses have also been cut back step by step, disturbing each other and becoming chaotic! Even the Mouke banner in the army has one or two sides lodging down, which means that one or two Mouke will be destroyed in the collision of heavy armor in an instant!
Several Jurchen Mouke shouted orders, and no longer bothered to clean up the remnants of the Song army's archers, but turned to the north, trying to attack from the side, saying that they would stop this Song army's heavily armored infantry army!
At such a point, the Jurchen generals who were in the middle of the battle no longer wanted to annihilate all the southerners' military horses, and even went straight to grab the military village and attack the water pass. I just want to use all my strength to stop such a terrifying offensive of the Nanren armor!
And the Song army armor soldiers, who had been advancing behind the heavy armor trapping soldiers, also discovered the movement of the Jurchen heavy armor infantry army on the southern flank, and as the commander recognized the flag and waved, these Song army armor soldiers also extended the array, and turned slightly, ready to meet the upcoming collision and fight!
And the chaotic scene of the Jurchen heavy armored infantry array suffering such a blow was also under the eyes of the pull-out speed. Since the war began, his calm complexion has finally become irritable and tyrannical. Suddenly shouted to a guard beside him: "Go and sue SΓΉ Zongbi, I have gone up." Let Zong Bi lead the army to make up for the rear formation, today either the southerners will die here, or I will be crushed here! β
The guards took the order and left, pulling out the speed and shouting, several guards removed his recognition flag from the car and leaned forward. The four Mouk Jurchen heavy armored infantry soldiers in front of him let out a loud roar, and also stepped forward, joining the battlefield where corpses were piled up like mountains and bloody atmosphere! Except for one of the Priyan who was left behind to escort this infantry army, the rest of the nearly 200 horsemen, following the banner that followed him, spread the horse's hooves, and roared angrily towards the place where the cavalry was fighting.
Defeat the Nanren cavalry first, and then flank the Nanren infantry array! I admit that you Birdans can fight, but our Jurchens started from the white mountains and black waters, and they all relied on their fighting skills to conquer the territory of thousands of miles, how can we lose to you Birdans............ No matter how heavy the casualties are, we will win this battle!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And the higher-level commanders of both sides have keenly discovered this land war at this time, and it has reached the most critical time. They also started to move.
The guards who didn't wait for the quick help arrived. Zong Bi has already turned over and got on his horse. Surrounded by guards, he held a light recognition flag. Relax down the mound. As Zong Bi's banner swayed, the six Jurchen veterans who had conquered the horses shouted and rode their horses to follow, converging into a torrent and galloping towards the battlefield at the fastest speed they could!
These six Mouke are all elites, and there are many Jurchen veterans who have been fighting since they pressed the tiger water to the present! Even if the Southern Army is ten times stronger, it will be ten times larger. These Jurchen veterans will only go up with their blades with indifferent faces, and fight with these southern armies to the point of never stopping!
And on the other end. Liu Baozhong was already wearing a Qingtang armor, holding an iron shovel, and led two cavalry commanders to come out of the fence of Shuiguan Sandwich Road. The sound of swans representing the cavalry was loud, and rows of spears and horses were laid down.
These cavalry soldiers are also all veterans of the Dragon Guard. The Dragon Guard Army was also separated from Xiao Yan's old foundation Shenwu Changsheng Army. The two cavalry commanders, and the backbone also has many veterans who have followed Xiao Yan to the death since the beginning of Yandi! For them, it is also ordinary, even if the Tartar army is ten times stronger and ten times stronger, it is also just a sword with an indifferent face. Fight with the Tartars to the death!
Liu Baozhong made a move on the top of his head, and then pointed forward. More than 500 horsemen suddenly had a little stirrup. The war horse started slowly, and began to move forward in a narrow array of sharp arrows.
Defeat the Tartar cavalry first, flank the Tartar infantry until you win the battle!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The sound of shouting and killing was already like thunder in this small land battlefield! Such a shout seemed to shake the layers of dark clouds piled up overhead, making the rain even stronger for a while!
The heavy rain fell loudly, and in the rain and muddy, the surging water and white waves rolled over. Whether it is on water or land, thousands of military horses on both sides are fighting to the death!
The heavy-armored infantry fighters invested by both sides were finally all twisted together. Swinging their blades at the nearest distance, shouts and curses mingled in one place, everyone fighting frantically. Metallic sparks flashed in the rain, and the elites of both sides fell to the ground, and then were trampled by countless pairs of feet, stepping deep into the mud that had turned red.
The rain washed the blood and flowed into the easy water, and this section of the river turned a faint red!
At this time, there was no longer any command and dispatch, it was just that the two armies were entangled in one place, exchanging lives with each other. In this battle array, life has become the most worthless thing. How many warriors have carefully honed their fighting skills have become waste in such a tragic killing field, and both sides are just gritting their teeth and desperately stabbing out the blades in their hands. When his family will fall and become a cold corpse in the mud, no one knows, and no one cares.
The pace of the Song army's heavily armored soldiers finally slowed down. In the mud, the whole body carried sixty or seventy pounds of weight, and he had to do slashing and fighting. Even though they are all carefully selected giants, they have the strength to fight beyond the reach of ordinary people. How long can such a fierce fight last?
Finally, the heavily armored soldiers of the Song army also fell one after another in the melee, once they were knocked down. A red-eyed Jurchen sergeant pounced, pulled out his short blade, and looked for the gap in his armor to pierce in. Some of the heavily armored traps were torn off their pockets, and then several blades were smashed down.
But the most eye-catching commander was still moving forward step by step, and beside him, there were dozens of heavily armored soldiers who were barely maintaining the array!
The axe light is still tenaciously spreading. Cutting down the Jurchen armor soldiers who had become numb in front of them layer by layer, this group of people and horses moved forward with difficulty under the leadership of this tall commander. The outermost layer of the infantry armor on the commander's body had been torn open in many places, and blood was already oozing out in some places, but as soon as the rain washed away, it disappeared.
The conductor actually felt that his original seemingly endless strength was rapidly declining, and for the first time in his life, he began to breathe heavily, and his steps began to become heavy. But in the gaze he projected from behind the visor, he only saw the chaotic and dense array of Jurchens in front of him.
How many layers have been killed. At this time, it is long time clear. Can you completely kill these Jurchen Tartars? The commander didn't think about it. Anyway, as long as there is a breath there. Keep moving forward and cut down all the living creatures in front of you!
Suddenly, the commander saw that the array in front of him was finally loosening and thinning. And you can also see that some of the Jurchen armor soldiers in front of them are frustrated and throw away their blades, take off their pockets, turn around and flee, and the ugly money rat tails are soaked in the rain and stick to the back of their heads.
Is it finally through the array? Then turn to the wings and turn back to fight again!
It was here that the commander raised the great axe. When you are ready to give a loud command to your subordinates. In the rain curtain in front of him, a large group of Jurchen armor soldiers suddenly stood out, and rows of spears stood out, nailing the defeated soldiers who turned and fled to the ground mercilessly. These Jurchen armor warriors crossed the mud and did not divide the queue, and they let out a beastly cry to meet them, joining the already bloody melee!
These are the last four Jurchen Mouke pressed up by the pull-out speed!
The voice of the commanding envoy was choked in his throat, and it turned into an earth-shattering roar.
"Killer dog Tartar! Just come up! β
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On the northern flank, the cavalry melee in the mud also reached its most tragic time.
Such weather. In such a muddy battlefield, the mobility impact of the cavalry has become a joke. The two sides scuffled together like an infantry army, exchanging lives with each other!
The cavalry of the two sides continued to join the battle group. Even if the array was opened before, once it was involved in this battle group, it would be the most clumsy stabbing and slashing each other to exchange lives.
pulled out the quick leader of his own personal guard Mou Ke came first, and for a while Yang Zaixing's department was pressed to the point of collapse, even if Yang Zaixing and Thirteen and other characters were already covered in blood and mud, and they only had the ability to parry. And the Jurchen cavalry, which had an absolute advantage, was even ready to divide up and immediately flank the Song army that was falling into a melee!
However, the two cavalry armies led by Liu Baozhong came again, turning the cavalry melee into a scale of more than 2,000 cavalry battles. Fill this small battlefield to the brim. Under the heavy rain, the two sides have no room for maneuver, and the people and horses can't stop turning into the mud, at this time, it depends on who can't bear such a naked consumption of human life!
But both sides are elites, and they are both brave and brave warriors who have experienced a hundred battles. No one will admit defeat, and no one will retreat. All firmly believe that it can only be the opponent's military horses that will fall!
The big gun in Yang Zaixing's hand was already stained with blood, even if it rained, it would not be washed away. His big gun was still trying to swing his way out of as big a circle as possible. It's just to rush towards the recognition flag of the Jurchen general!
He had already struck forward twice, and he was forced to retreat. Angry, his eyes seemed to be spitting out coals, and he was now retreating to the side with a large number of cavalry to catch his breath.
The so-called side with more cavalry is not a safe place. There are also scuffles going on everywhere, but you can always find a place or two to take a break under the cover of the robes.
Yang Zaixing inhaled heavily, only to feel that his lungs were hot. Before he could catch his breath, he heard an angry roar: "The surname Yang, who only likes to look at people with his nostrils on weekdays, and praises his own bravery, is it not now?" β
Yang Zaixing turned his head suddenly, and saw that Liu Baozhong was not far from his side, smashing over a Jurchen Tartar with a blow, and shouting at himself with disgust!
Yang Zaixing only felt that in the cold rain, his own dough was about to burn! He didn't say much, gritted his teeth and urged the horse to step forward again, still pointing to the Jurchen general moving around to recognize the flag!
The big gun was a little left and right, and the two Jurchen Tartars were stabbed off their horses. A long-handled hammer swept in the oblique thorn, Yang Zaixing raised his breath and hung his crotch to let it pass, but he felt that he could barely lift it in one breath, and his body was slightly slower, and he was slightly brushed by the hammer on his waist, and his mouth was suddenly full of blood, and a mouthful of blood almost spurted out. Yang Zaixing suppressed the blood, swept with a gun in one arm, and the big gun was heavily pumped on the Jurchen Tartar who rushed at the sting, and there was a bang, and the Jurchen Tartar's body was immediately bent into a strange angle, and he didn't snort and fell from the horse!
And Yang Zaixing continued to ride forward, his left hand had already pulled out his saber and swept, and the head of another Jurchen Tartar flew up, and when the blood from his neck gushed out a few feet high, Yang Zaixing's mouth of blood also spurted out!
In ordinary cavalry battles, such as Yang Zaixing, a fierce cavalry general like a killing god, should be avoided as much as possible in the battle, there are so many opponents to choose from, why choose such a hard hand to fight? Killing Yang Zaixing is only one person, and killing other cavalry soldiers is also one person. The wings are cut clean, no matter how powerful Yang Zaixing is, is he still the opponent of the cavalry?
But today's fight can't take care of this, Yang Zaixing stepped forward bravely, and the Jurchen Tartars rushed towards him instead! Say anything, you will drown this fierce southerner cavalry general and break him into thousands of pieces!
At this time, the Jurchen knights couldn't care that this rider was the guy who killed several little masters in the rumors, and many people still knew him. If he can be captured alive, Zongwang will sacrifice the little master alive. can be pulled out at once, and since then, there are two or three hundred warriors under his command who can go into battle, hundreds of households, and more people of all ethnic groups.
They just want to chop Yang Zaixing into pieces in this blood-colored mud!
Yang Zaixing returned the sword into the sheath, raised the spear to meet it, and when he urged the mount, the healthy horse under the crotch was weak in front legs and fell to his knees. Fighting so far, this healthy horse is also scarred, and it can't hold on anymore.
Seeing Yang Zaixing fall with his horse, the Jurchen armored cavalry roared like thunder, and he was about to approach and slash!
A thin figure bounced up from the ground, stabbed a Jurchen armored rider with a broken spear in his hand, and then turned over his horse, threw out a short spear, and shot over a Jurchen Tartar. Scooped up the reins of the empty horse with one hand, rushed back a few steps, and shouted at Yang Zaixing: "Get on the horse!" β
This sudden thin figure is naturally thirteen, and he also fell off the horse in the chaotic battle, but he has persevered until now, and at the critical time, he has killed and taken the horse, and he has saved Yang Zaixing!
Yang Zaixing's big gun was propped up on the ground, and his figure flew up and landed on the empty horse. Turning around was a shot out, and it was a steady and accurate return pistol stance, and a Jurchen Tartar who was chasing after him was stabbed in front of the door and knocked straight off the horse. The big gun circled again, stabbing down the Jurchen Tartar armor rider who was chasing after Thirteen.
Thirteen also drew out a long knife and slashed indiscriminately, coupled with Yang Zaixing's big gun flying, and finally barely swept out of a circle. Yang Zaixing turned his horse's head, looked at the pull-out speed recognition flag not far away, and yelled at the Thirteen Greats: "Do you dare to rush with me to kill the past?" β
Thirteen didn't say anything, just clenched the long knife in his hand. Yang Zaixing grinned: "I recognize you as a brother!" β
Just as he was about to fight the horses and continue to attack, on the other side of the rain curtain, more than two hundred Jurchen Tartar armor horsemen rushed out, hundreds of spears were flat, and a huge shout suddenly broke out, about to join the cavalry melee battle group!
The horses led by Zong Bi have already arrived, and because of the battlefield restrictions, only one cavalry can be invested to reinforce for a while. But when the two sides have fought to the last of their strength, this reinforcement may be able to decide the outcome of the battle!
Yang Zaixing looked at the Jurchen armor rider who was about to join the battle group again, and suddenly roared.
"Dog Tartar who can't stop killing, just come up!" (To be continued......)
