The Henan army on the shore was already in formation. After all, it was a strong army in a hundred battles, and although the sudden appearance of Fang Mihan and the others caused them to panic for a while, after calming down, they advanced and retreated in a well-founded and orderly manner.

The Henan army that came to aid Jining Road this time was led by Li Jingchang, the chief general who guarded Bianliang, and he brought the main force to the city of Juye, under the personal command of Wang Baobao. This part of the Henan military horses along the Sanyang Lake and Jeju lines was divided into two parts, and the main general was named Chahan Buhua, who was Li Jingchang's deputy general.

Chahan Buhua is now in the camp on the west bank of the lake, and he should be dealing with Hu Zhong's feint.

The commander who was released and was in charge of shore defense at this time was a member of Chahan Buhua's command, named Feng Tuoyin, seven feet tall, brave and strong, good at using two-sided blades, more than a foot long, known as "Mo Knife", weighing nearly 20 catties. When he waved it, it was really a tiger, and the blocker was killed immediately.

"Mo knife" is a weapon in the Tang Dynasty, since the Tang Dynasty, from the Song to the Yuan, it has been rarely used. There are two reasons why it gradually disappears, one is that Modao has high requirements for users, not low, strong and strong, and strong enough; One is that weapons such as axes and axes are used in large quantities. Axes and the like can achieve an effect similar to that of a sword, but the method of making such weapons is relatively simple. It's like the contrast between a horse lance and a gun. It takes a long time to make a lance, but it is much simpler to make a gun, and of course the gun is the mainstream. So Mo knives are becoming more and more rare.

Feng Tuoyin is because of a family heirloom. His ancestors were Mo knife hands in the Tang Dynasty, and there are family skills that have been passed down to future generations. Therefore, he chose to use the Mo knife. Most of the "generals", that is, the sons of the generals, have ancestral battlefield killing techniques, defend the country in peacetime, fight for wealth with knives and guns, and often become more famous than ordinary people in the event of war. This Feng Tuoyin is a typical example of "Jiang Species".

A nickname was given to him in the Chahan army, calling him the "Twin Blade General". Because in addition to the Mo knife, every time he goes out in battle, he always wears a ring knife. Use the Mo Knife for long-range attacks and the Ring Knife for close combat. The long and short match, invincible.

Fang Mihan and Yang Si are all clear about these situations. Yang grabbed the beach with four guns, and Feng Tuoyin held a knife to set up the formation. Brave generals against brave generals, strong army against strong army. A bloody battle has broken out on the west bank of the lake.

In fact, there are not too many troops placed on the shore by the Henan army, and the archers, firecrackers, pikemen, sword and axe hands, etc., are only seven or eight hundred people, a scale of thousands of households.

There are more than 400 people in the Yidu army this time, and the ratio of troops is one to two, and the Yidu army is all veterans on the battlefield and elite who are good at fighting. But it can't stop the Henan army from having a geographical advantage. Shooting arrows and firing guns near the lake, the Yidu army had already suffered twenty or thirty casualties before they could go ashore.

Beach rush operations have always been the attacking side's heavy casualties.

Often, 100 people rush to the beach, and by the end of the war, the casualties will be at least about three or four percent, or even more. This is still in the situation of not necessarily meeting the elite of the other party.

It can be seen how much pressure Fang Mihan and Yang Si are facing. Otherwise, Yang Wanhu would not have ordered the fishing boat to return it after sending them to shore. At this time, in order to win, we must not encourage the soldiers with hope, but with fear. This is similar to the method adopted by Zhao Guo, Liu Saburo and others, who went deep into the enemy's hinterland, to motivate the soldiers.

Yang Si held a shield on his left and a gun on his right, blocking the arrows like rain, like a dragon going against the water, rushing out of the water and landing on the shore first.

The pikemen of the Henan Army, who had been waiting for a long time, turned out from behind the archers and lined up to meet them. Behind them are the axemen who are ready to strike. The archers and musketeers reposition themselves and retreat behind the axemen.

Feng Tuoyin has a characteristic in the battle, that is, he must be the leader of the team in every battle. He saw Yang Si from a distance, shouted, raised his long knife, and rushed forward, wanting to fight with him. But at this time, many of the Yidu troops had already rushed ashore from the lake one after another, blocking his way.

The usage of Mo knife is the first "chopping and chopping". What I want is the kind of fierce momentum that is indomitable, kills gods when encountering gods, and kills Buddhas when encountering Buddhas. Feng Tuoyin raised the Mo knife high, his feet did not stop, and suddenly shouted: "Drink!" With his sword in hand, he slashed down one of the Yidu soldiers who rushed in front of him.

The blade was extremely sharp, cutting straight through the soldier's left shoulder, and slicing out from the right waist, cutting the whole man in half, including the armor. The internal organs were scattered all over the ground, and blood spurted out, splashing Feng Tuyin's face all over his face. He was indeed fierce, and he didn't wipe the blood on his face, and he shouted again: "Drink!" The long knife rolled sideways, cutting the second Yidu soldier who pounced on him in half like that. It's just that the two halves were cut off from the waist. Although two Yidu soldiers had died tragically, their successors still fought to the death. "One after the other." In just a few moments, three or four soldiers died under the Mo knife.

Feng Tuoyin "killed one person in one step", his whole body was soaked with blood, his courage was strong, and he was able to kill, so he simply pulled off the hood with his backhand, spread his hair, and laughed cruelly. Under the moonlight, by the lake, the two armies fought chaotically, and he rampaged, and there was no one under him, like a demon coming out of hell.

By this time of the battle, most of the Yidu soldiers had already come out of the water. Fang Mihan and Chen Xipu also landed ashore.

They noticed Feng Tuoyin's bravery, although the two squads of soldiers who had landed on the shore in advance had surrounded him one after another, but Zhang Yu Chang's Mo knife was swung away, and no one could get close to him, and he was about to be unable to support it. If he was broken out by Feng Tuoyin, it was very likely that he would bring great damage to the Yidu soldiers alone.

Fang Mihan said in a deep voice: "'Capture the thief first capture the king, shoot the man first and the horse.'" 'The thief will be so brave that he must be slain first.' Chen Xipu, take a few people and kill him. ”

In terms of bravery, Chen Xipu is not as good as Yang Si, but Yang Si has the responsibility of "attacking the fortifications first", if Yang Si is transferred to fight Feng Tuyin, no matter whether he wins or loses, it is not in the interest of the army to quickly occupy the shore.

Therefore, Fang Mihan decided to use the "middle horse" of the headquarters to meet the enemy's "upper horse", and use the "upper horse" of the headquarters to meet the enemy's "middle horse". He understood Yang Si's temperament, and in order to prevent him from taking the initiative to fight Feng Tuoyin, he ordered his own soldiers to rush to the order immediately, telling Yang Si to rush to the enemy's strong formation, and it was strictly forbidden to turn to invite Feng Tuoyin.

After dealing with this matter, Fang Mihan took a few steps back slightly under the cover of the shield, half-squatted, raised his head, and watched the battlefield. The Yidu soldiers had already engaged in battle with the pikemen of the Henan army, and because the enemy and our armies were relatively concentrated, the battle line was not very long, only one hundred and ten steps. Shout to kill the heavens.

Friend and foe are stalemate. The archers and musketeers of the Henan army were afraid of injuring their own people and could not radiate nearby, so they had to aim at the junction of the water and the shore, and continuously cast arrows and bullets.

There were still a small number of soldiers of the Yidu Army who failed to get out of the water, and some people were hit by arrows one after another. However, as long as they were not injured, every soldier was not afraid of death and still marched forward bravely.

Landing on the shore, he didn't care about resting, and then he went to the battlefield. There is still some distance from the shore to the place of battle, and it is still within the range of arrows and bullets. Many people were hit by arrows again and again on the way to run, but in the blink of an eye, Fang Mihan saw four or five people falling to the ground. Some of them are created in the face, and some are hit by arrows in their legs and feet. Those who can hold it gritted their teeth and remained silent in order not to affect their morale. But like the wound in the face, the pain was unbearable, unbearable, and he let out a miserable moan.

The night sky is blue, and the moon is bent.

The moonlight poured down, giving the lake and the trees on the shore a dreamlike coat. "The moon stars are rare". In the night sky, except for the bright moon, only a few stars hang in the sky. Blinking his eyes in a flash, as if he was curiously watching this human fight. The heights are unbearable, and after tens of millions of years of vicissitudes, they seem to be indifferent, purely cold.

Moonlight, starlight. Lakes and forests.

Yang turned sideways to avoid a spear stabbed from the right side, flicked his left shield, and slammed it into the gunman's face. There was only a crisp sound, but it smashed the gunman's nose. The soldier was in pain, subconsciously threw away the spear, covered his face, and cried out in pain. Yang Si laughed loudly, stepped forward, held the body of the gun with his right hand, the head of the gun was down, the handle of the gun was facing up, and stabbed into his shoulder blade.

Killed one person cleanly. He didn't look back, just shouted, "Take someone's head!" ”

Behind him, there were two pro-soldiers. These two people have two duties, one is to cover Yang Si's back and flanks, and the other is to be responsible for taking the head of the person killed by Yang Si.

A person came out in response, ran over, leaned down, stepped on the chest of the dead Henan soldier, grabbed his hair bun with one hand, lifted the dead head slightly, and the long knife was shallowly inserted into the ground, pushing the blade through. As blood gushed out, a man's head was easily cut off.

Then, the soldier tied it to his waist and continued to follow Yang Si forward to kill.

Someone behind rushed forward and shouted, "General's order: Order Yang Si to move forward and kill the enemy." Without a military order, it is strictly forbidden to take a step back, and it is even more strictly forbidden to fight with the enemy's brave generals. ”

Yang Si turned his head and glanced in the direction of Feng Tuoyin, and happened to see Feng Tuoyin go down with a knife and kill two Yidu soldiers in a row. He spat viciously and said, "Let him be proud." Turning back, he raised his shield to block the axe that had been cut by one of the people opposite, and stabbed the spear out and deep into his abdomen.

But instead of drawing his spear, he stirred the tip of the spear in the man's abdomen, and as he drew it, a piece of intestines was brought out. The enemy saw that he was disemboweled, frightened, horrified, and in great pain, and screamed, so that he wanted to shake the earth, hugged his stomach, and fell to his knees.

"Take the head!"

Yang Si left his own soldiers, and then ran over again, doing the same, not waiting for this enemy pawn to die, and not bothering to make up for him, so he cut off this person's head alive. If you cut off your head a lot, you will be very skillful in your movements, and you will not drag the mud and water at all, and it will be like flowing water.

The battle was not half an hour, and the two pro-soldiers already had two or three heads on their waists. A person's waist circumference is so big, what if you kill too many people and can't tie your head? It doesn't matter, Yang Si also has a way. At that time, there will be no heads, only noses.

Yang Si's side is unstoppable, and it seems that he has the upper hand. But as far as the overall front is concerned, the Yidu soldiers do not occupy much of the position. Even on the contrary, it is still the Henan military horse that really controls the rhythm of the battlefield

The formation of the Henan army was orderly before and after.

Yang Si broke in very quickly, and had already rushed through the spear formation and came into contact with the sword and axe formation. But it was he who rushed quickly, and the troops that followed him did not quickly follow. Why? The Yidu army landed from the water and fought on the beach, and after going ashore, the formation was not neat. However, the Henan army had already lined up its position in an orderly manner. With "Qi" and "chaos", it is clear at a glance whose side the advantage is.

Fang Mihan has been observing the battle situation, and of course he has also discovered this problem. He urged the heralds one after another, and sent orders around the battlefield, trying to reunite the troops who were gradually scattered because of the repeated blows of the Henan army's arrows, spears, etc. It was then that he heard a loud bang.

Turning his head sharply, he saw that it was coming from Feng Tuoyin.

Chen Xipu led a dozen people to fight Feng Tuoyin. Chen Xipu came out of the Pyongyang Military Academy, and when he was in the military academy, he was best at formation. Because he saw Feng Tuoyin's bravery, he knew that he was afraid that he would not be able to defeat him, so he commanded his soldiers to form a small formation.

It is a triadic formation that is more common on the battlefield.

The shield hand is in front to fend off Feng Tuoyin's Mo knife; The spearman was in the middle, taking advantage of the gap to assassinate Feng Tuyin; The axe hand was behind, and when the shield hand and the spearman worked together to hurt Feng Tuoyin or remove his Mo knife, he would roll up and attack him. Chen Xipu used his own bow and arrows to shoot arrows on the periphery.

The so-called "formation" is to maximize the combat effectiveness of the soldiers through appropriate arrangement. It stands to reason that Chen Xipu's formation is not bad, with more than a dozen people fighting one person in formation. The odds are high. But Feng Tuoyin is not the only one, he is the main general of the West Bank, and as soon as he enters the battle, there are many personal soldiers and Henan soldiers to save him.

Although the sword and axe hands on the outside of the three-fold array tried their best to block it, they were outnumbered and finally killed by Feng Tuoyin's own soldiers. Feng Tuoyin took this opportunity to rise up with all his strength, his tongue bloomed with spring thunder, he shouted, and raised his knife to cut the two shield players on the opposite side into two pieces.

The Mo knife is killed by weight, if it is deployed by a strong enough person, even against the cavalry is not afraid, a knife down, "men and horses are broken". How much more is it a shield bearer?

With the response of the headquarters, Feng Tuoyin was like a tiger, and he killed Chen Xipu's three-fold array in three or two clicks. The Mo knife was stained with blood, and when it was raised, it dripped down the knife shaft; When slashing, the reflection of the moonlight is like water.

Chen Xipu abandoned his bow and drew his knife, hurriedly met it, and hit it vigorously, only to feel that his arm was numb, and the knife was knocked away. Feng Tuoyin was slashing back, and there were two Yidu soldiers who fought hard to block Chen Xipu. Both died in battle. Seeing that the situation was not good, Chen Xipu retreated and fled. The loud sound that Fang Mihan heard just now was the sound of Feng Tuoyin slashing two shield players to death.

"General! The thief will be too brave, and it will be difficult for our department to stop him. Chen Xipu hurriedly rushed to Fang Mihan and said urgently. Raising his eyes and seeing Fang Mihan's expression, he was very serious, he was slightly stunned, and when he turned his eyes, he saw that on the entire battlefield, most of the Yidu soldiers were in defeat.

"Lao Chen, where do you look?"

Chen Xipu followed Fang Mihan's line of sight and saw that behind the Henan army formation, at some point, he was put up with a lot of rejection horses. The horse is composed of sharp spears and wood wrapped in iron spikes, pointing diagonally at the night sky. In the moonlight, the spearhead of the spear and the iron spikes on top of the wood glowed coldly.

"The rejection of the horse was just placed. The Tartars used the people, and they continued to swing. If they wait for them to join the horses in formation, then the whole army retreats behind them. Our department will first take the shore of the lake, and I am afraid that it will be even more difficult. ”

"In that case, what should I do?"

Fang Mihan turned around, looked at the rippling lake, and said, "There is no way back. Tonight there is only one way to die, and one life to take. Otherwise, our army will be destroyed. "It's time for the Lord to kiss him. He slowly inspected the armor and the whole bundle of weapons, and said, "Feng Tuoyin is the enemy's courage, and if you kill it, the enemy will lose your courage." Lao Chen, you just failed to win the battle. Ben will be in the battle himself. ”

Chen Xipu was shocked, he had just comprehended Feng Tuoyin's fierceness, and hurriedly admonished: "General! Feng Tuoyin is certainly an enemy, but you are the chief general of my headquarters, how can you easily get into danger? ”

"It's urgent, I have to go into battle."

"Why don't you transfer Yang Si to go?"

"Yang Si has rarely broken into the Tartar Sword and Axe Formation, and it is one of the few positions that our department has benefited. How can it be lightly adjusted? ”

"Feng Tuoyin is brave, and the general is probably not his opponent. Think again, general! ”

Fang Mihan was furious, "After fighting hard so far, our department is gradually losing. If you lose, you will be ashamed of the lord, and you will be ashamed of Yang Dashuai. People may not be noble, but they must not be lowly. When it comes to bravery, I may not be as good as others, but I am also a general. I will do my job well and be loyal and responsible. ”

He lifted the placket of his shirt and showed the scars to Chen Xipu: "Since the army came, there have been dozens of battles and more than a dozen wounds. Almost every battle is wounded once, but all the scars are only on the chest. ”

Chen Xipu still wants to say more.

Fang Mihan stopped him and said categorically: "Where the duty lies, death is death." I've already decided. Lao Chen, you don't have to say more. After Ben himself goes into battle, you will stay in the rear and take over the overall dispatch. The most important thing is to pay attention to Yang Si, who needs to be sent in time. If Ben is going to die in battle, you will succeed him! ”
