Section 30 Qinshui

Only then did Hu Yangeng gain the power to command the whole army. As soon as he was in power, he gave the order to carry it out, and the 15,000 people of Xuanzan and Shi Xingfang were merged first, and the New Year's coins escorted by Xuanzan were also accepted. All the soldiers and horses were reorganized, and 20,000 relatively brave ones were selected to go to Lund. promoted Hao Siwen to the jurisdiction of the soldiers and horses to open the way for the forwards.

Hao Siwen led the 4,000 headquarters all the way to the west bank of Qinshui in two days, and a pro-soldier said to Hao Siwen: "It is early winter, Qinshui is dry and shallow, and it is not difficult to cross the river." I'm afraid that the gold thieves have set up an ambush on the other side. It is better to wait for the arrival of the army, and then make a calculation. ”

Hao Siwen said: "When the army arrives, we have to do something forward." With that, he ordered the whole army to cross the river.

Hao Siwen's 4,000 people did not encounter any obstacles when crossing the river. When most of the soldiers had crossed the river and the vehicles were crossing the river, they suddenly heard people shouting and neighing, and a group of golden soldiers came out.

Hao Siwen shouted: "As expected, the Jin soldiers really had an ambush, and the whole army lined up with their backs to Qinshui, and they were all under the jurisdiction of the army, and they would arrive in two hours." ”

Hao Siwen's department of 4,000 people lined up in a small circle formation with the command as a unit, and nine small circles formed a large square formation with three horizontal rows and three columns longitudinally.

It turned out that Wanyan Yinshu also expected that there would be rescuers coming, so he sent scattered horsemen to scout in the west. The one Hao Siwen met was a trick of Jin Bing.

This group stood guard by the river, and when they saw Hao Siwen's department beginning to cross the river, they sent someone to inform Meng'an's Maojin (the Jurchen prince, that is, Baylor in later Manchu) to finish his journey. After all Hao Siwen's troops crossed the river and formed a formation, the entire Meng'an of the Jin soldiers also arrived.

Wanyan Tushe, who commanded Meng'an, was an external branch of the Wanyan family, and he had always despised the Song army. Although he learned that there were nearly 10,000 Song troops crossing the river, and his own Meng'an was only more than 2,000 people, he still confidently launched an attack on Hao Siwen.

Hao Siwen saw the enemy rushing over, and the smoke and dust were rising, and he couldn't help but snort: "Native goods, I don't even know that the columns are not fighting." ”

The nine commanders all stood in an interval between the sword, shield and pikemen, in the outer circle, and the crossbowmen in the inner circle, and when they saw the enemy approaching, the crossbowmen in the first row began to fire their arrows. Unexpectedly, the enemy army went back again.

Wan Yan laughed in vain: "If you still release arrows three hundred steps away, are they all grass chickens who have never been in battle?" He sent light cavalry and began to circle around the large array of the Song army, inducing the Song army to release arrows.

Hao Siwen was in a hurry, he sent heralds to each circle to give orders, "Listen to the sound of the bang in the central main array, if the bang does not sound, you must not release arrows." Violators will be beheaded. ”

After several rounds of testing between the two sides, Wanyan waved the command flag, and the three of them rushed straight to Hao Siwen's big array.

Hao Siwen waited quietly, and when the Jin soldiers rushed to within two hundred paces, several archers in the circle on the right side of the first row couldn't hold on, and swished out a few arrows, all of which missed.

Hao Siwen frowned, and was about to have a seizure, when Jin Bing was already a hundred steps away. Hao Siwen spit out the words stiffly: "Knock on the bang and release the arrow." ”

The sound of bangzi in the Song army's array was loud, and the sound of bowstrings sounded like a swarm of bees.

The Jin soldiers who rushed to the front were all shot off their horses, but the Jin soldiers did not stop, and more than 600 horsemen rushed to the Song army's large array in a daze, except for the more than 100 horsemen who were shot down, the others rushed to the periphery of the Song army's large array.

The drums beat loudly in each circle, and the pikemen flattened the two spears one after another, and the nine circles were like hedgehogs with spikes spreading.

When Yang Kefa arrived on the west bank of the Qinshui River, six of the nine circles under Hao Siwen's command had collapsed, and the remaining four circles had already been crowded together. The Jin soldiers surrounded Hao Siwen and attacked in a big array.

Most of the scattered Song soldiers had already fled across the river. Yang Kefa inquired about the Song soldiers who escaped across the river, and only then did he understand the reason

It turned out that the Jin soldiers circled around Hao Siwen's large array and released arrows into the array, and the crossbowmen in Hao Siwen's array also responded with bows and arrows. The Jin soldiers rode on horseback, while the Song army stood still in formation, obviously suffering more in the counter-shooting. And Hao Siwen's department was also improvised pieced together, and was attacked by the Jin soldiers with random arrows first, and then impacted with the Iron Floating Massacre, so the six circular formations collapsed one after another. Fortunately, Hao Siwen gathered the remaining four circle formations together and supported them with all his might, and the Jin soldiers had no time to chase and kill the defeated soldiers, and these defeated soldiers were able to cross the river.

The third person to arrive at Qinshui was Lu Zhishen's department, he saw the battle situation on the east bank of Qinshui, and was furious: "Four thousand people were defeated by two thousand, and the Buddha was really ashamed to death." He immediately ordered his headquarters to cross the river and fight a decisive battle with the Jin soldiers.

Up to now, Hao Siwen's strength is still superior to Wanyan's disciples, so Lu Zhishen did not lead the whole team to cross the river, but pulled out the monk soldiers brought by Wutai Mountain alone, fifty sword and shield monks in front, holding shields, fifty bow and crossbow monks followed, and then there were fifty spear monks and fifty long axe soldiers led by Lu Zhishen himself, and these fifty long axe soldiers were also selected by Lu Zhishen after serving as the commander of the soldiers and horses. The teams went down from the shore into the river, and the water was knee-high, and the bottom of the river was muddy, and it was difficult to lift one's feet in one step. The water is not wide, only a few zhang, but in this short few zhang of muddy waterway, there have been casualties of one or two hundred soldiers, and the river is red, all of them are routs trying to escape the river.

After going down into the water, the sword and shield monk held the shield in both hands, raised the shield high, half-squatted and dripping forward, walked not two steps, "bang bang" muffled non-stop, the bow and crossbow were shot on the other side, several arrows pierced the shield in succession, the two spear monks in the front position, one hand was nailed to the shield, blood flowed down the wrist, one was pierced by the crossbow arrow through the shield, shot on the shoulder, although wearing leather armor, useless, the whole person was led backwards by the crossbow arrow, sat down in the water, and cried out in pain. The sword and shield monk behind stepped forward, replaced the two men, and continued to move forward with arrows.

Fifty crossbowmen fired back, fired two rounds in succession, and then rushed forward.

Although the river was cold, the Jin soldiers on the opposite bank shot arrows into the river, but there was the resistance of the shield monk and the counterattack of the bow and crossbow monk, and the Jin soldiers were mainly besieging Hao Siwen's large array, and Lu Zhishen's monk team finally crossed the Qinshui.

In these few zhang roads, more than ten sword and shield monks were injured here, and more than 30 people on the other side were shot.

Approaching the shore, the crossbow monk retreated, Lu Zhishen shouted, staggered with the spear monk and the bow and crossbow monk, and went up. The remaining spear monks straightened up and raised their shields above their heads to fend off enemy arrows.

Lu Zhishen led the spear monk and the long axe soldier to rush directly towards the Jin soldiers, and the spearmen quickly formed two loose horizontal formations, and the sword and shield hands were mixed in.

Seeing that he was approaching the golden soldiers, Luda waved the water mill Zen staff, and fifty long axe soldiers rushed up, burst to the front of the formation, and rushed forward in half a step to kill. Lu Zhishen rushed to the front, and the whole person jumped over the shield of the spear monk, and met the four or five cavalry who rushed head-on.

Four or five cavalrymen stabbed their spears at Lu Zhishen, three from the left and right sides, and two from the head.

Lu Zhishen didn't pay attention to the three spears stabbed from the side, he was wearing half of the armor, and he stabbed three times, almost at the same time as the stab, he turned his face up, staring at the two spearmen who were just above his head, the water mill Zen staff swept, first slapped the left person off the horse, and then to the right, the spear of the golden soldier on the right was dialed to the sky, Lu Zhishen used the crescent shovel at the end of the Zen staff to overturn the right man and horse. Then Lu Zhishen waved his staff with his backhand, and pulled off the horse of a cavalryman on the side, shouted angrily, and shouted: "Hit! This sound was like thunder, one of the golden soldiers on the side lost his spear, the other was dumbfounded, Lu Zhishen took a cane, and solved the five cavalry in this way.

Fifty long axe soldiers followed Lu Zhishen, seized this gap, and also rushed towards the golden cavalry one after another.

Lu Zhishen rushed into the formation, like a tiger into a flock of sheep, and the fifty long axe soldiers he brought may not be the strongest if they are brave, but they are all selected dead soldiers, who dare to kill and fight. Wanyan was besieging Hao Siwen's big array with all his might, and he didn't care much about Lu Zhishen, who crossed the river, and only sent more than 100 Bohai people and troops to intercept it, but he didn't expect to be killed by Lu Zhishen at once.

The bow and crossbow monks, the spear monks, and the sword and shield monks all followed, forming a large team with Lu Zhishen and the long axe soldiers. The Bohai soldiers on both sides braved the rain of arrows and rushed desperately, and the Song army's crossbow arrows continued, and the arrows were as rapid as rain, and in a blink of an eye, they shot down more than 20 Jin soldiers who tried to rush in. The two hundred people led by Lu Zhishen will be in one place, and in this local battlefield, their forces will have the upper hand. With Lu Zhishen's password, everyone divided the order before and after, forming an impact formation. The sword and shield monk at the front, the spear monk second, the bow and crossbow monk again, and the long axe warriors were scattered around the team.

The sword and shield monk advanced with his shield, the spear monk stabbed with his halberd behind the shield, the bow and crossbow monk shot arrows from the sky, and the long axe man slashed at the approaching enemy. The group moved forward like this, like an iron hedgehog. The soldiers of the Jin army came up one after another, either on their flanks or in front of them, and attacked and intercepted.

Wanyan discovered Lu Zhishen's bravery and mobilized a large team of men to besiege Lu Zhishen.

The enemies came one after another, and Lu Zhishen's more than 100 people were huddled together, although they kept cutting down the enemy, they couldn't advance even half a step.

Lu Zhishen rushed like this, and Wanyan completely gave up the advantage of cavalry and fought close to the Song army.

Hao Siwen's pressure was also relaxed, and he began to counterattack Yan in vain. He had a lot of troops, but he was completely suppressed by the Jin soldiers, and now that the pressure is gone, Hao Siwen unfolded the formation, fighting steadily, not seeking merit, but seeking no fault.

During this period of time, Yang Kefa also crossed the river with his headquarters.

Wanyan trekked and saw a fat monk rampaging in the formation, holding himself brave, holding a mace high and rushing over on horseback.

Lu Zhishen was not in a hurry, first solved a golden soldier in front of him, and saw that the war horse rushed to the front of him, and the wind was loud in his ears. He turned sideways, dodged the mace and the war horse, and the Zen staff swept away, breaking the horse's legs, and Wanyan stepped back to plant the horse, Lu Zhishen made up for it, ending his life.
