Chapter 237: Injuries

The cavalry of the left and right Xiaowu army were shocked and angry, all of them stepped forward, while dancing their blades to block the arrows and feathers that came one after another, while helping Lin Zhong from the already stiff horses, a cavalryman gave his mount to him, Lin Zhongqiang endured the pain, held the tail feathers of the arrow through the armor with one hand, pulled out the waist knife with the other hand, gritted his teeth and waved the knife, with a click, all the arrows inserted into the body were cut off, and cold sweat the size of a soybean also flowed down the cheeks of the forest. He stretched out his hand to push away the cavalry gathered next to him, revealing his figure, took off the big gun hanging from the saddle, and raised it high in the direction of Wu Yingying's camp.

Seeing that the forest was so brave, after a short silence in the Song army's array, a huge cheer broke out, not only better than the previous one, but also one after another, endlessly. Cai Keyuan, whose face was ugly, also had to say to Dong Zun: "The Great Song Dynasty has such a brave general, it should be easy to defeat Wu Yingying, why worry about Yanyun not returning?" Dong Zunzhi twisted his beard and smiled proudly: "There are many eagle dog minions in our army, such as Captain Lin," he paused, looked at the forest that was returning to the main formation surrounded by the cavalry of the Xiaowu Army, and turned his head to the flag official," Wu Yingying was frightened, and it is estimated that he will not dare to go out of the station today, although Captain Lin killed the majesty of the enemy, but did not complete the military order, and the merits and demerits are offset, so he will not be rewarded or punished. ”

Wu Yingying watched the Song cavalry march away in silence, and Zheng Bing, the captain of the Condor Battalion who was in charge of the archers, knelt down and said: "The subordinates are incompetent and failed to shoot the enemy, please surrender to the lord." Guo Nianzheng, the new captain of the Ya military camp, commanded the sergeants to hurriedly re-erect the flag. Wu Yingying looked around at the faces of the generals and sergeants on the left and right, all of them were angry and humiliated, and he said in a deep voice: "Go out of the camp and line up, since the enemy wants to fight so much, we will give him a fight! The shame of the military flag will be returned tenfold!"

"Battle, battle, battle!" Surrounded by Wu Yingying's side, the army commander who was greatly stimulated by General Song's fierce performance, the lieutenant and centurion immediately drew their horizontal swords and shouted loudly, "Ten times the return! Ten times the return!" According to the rules of the Lanzhou Army, if the military flag is captured for the enemy, the number of this battalion and the first army will be cancelled from now on, so the military flag has a very respected status in the Lanzhou army. The enemy destroyed Wu Yingying's own banner and retreated, just like using a red cloth to tease a bull in heat.

With such a sense of honor, Dong Zunzhi must not have imagined it. Wu Yingying looked at the surging soldiers with satisfaction, and when he went to battle by himself, he must have thought that he would send troops out of anger and let down his guard. This is more conducive to creating opportunities for the two armies of Chi Hunt and White Feather to attack. Thinking of this, Wu Yingying raised his knife and pointed at the back of the Song general who folded the flag, and said in a deep voice: "Defeat the enemy, this life will see people, and death will see corpses!" This sentence completely inspired the generals who were suffocated by the humiliation of the flag.

Wu Yingying's headquarters was originally going to fight as a team, and the general ordered six bow and crossbow battalions to form a long snake formation under the cover of the hussars to cover the heavy infantry out of the camp. The so-called layman looks at the liveliness, the insider looks at the doorway, as soon as Wu Yingying's department goes out of the city and ranks up, the generals and colonels of the forbidden army who are accustomed to fighting are a little frowned, only to see the camp door opened, the crossbowmen came out, under the leadership of the captains, almost in a moment, the three thousand crossbowmen have formed a strict formation, standing quietly in the direction of the forbidden army with bows, there is no noise, no noise, not even the soldiers who look left and right, only the short and clear orders of the captain and the centurion come with the wind. Those middle-level forbidden army officers who had been dealing with soldiers for many years knew how difficult it was to do this lightly, and before they knew it, the blood that had boiled over some people because of the heroic behavior in the forest just now had cooled down, and a heavy cloud began to rise in some people's hearts.

Lin Zhong had already been wounded by the military doctor, Dong Zunzhi would not let him avoid the battle, and he reluctantly rode back to the front. Seeing that the enemy army was lined up in an instant, the forest couldn't help but secretly cheer, and said in his heart, worthy of being the elite soldiers of the mighty Hexi, he died at the hands of such a warrior, but he was not wronged. When he looked at it again, under the cover of the crossbowmen who had already lined up, the situation of the other enemy battalions in formation could no longer be seen clearly, and he only felt that a murderous aura in the air was getting heavier and heavier, he looked back at the flying general flag of his hunting, sighed, and subconsciously put his hand on the big gun in front of the saddle.

Under the cover of the crossbowmen, the spear battalion formed a phalanx of five fronts and four rows at the back, the Wu Yingyingya military camp, two Mo Dao battalions and three sword and shield battalions lined up in the rectangular area between the two rows of spear phalanxes, and the two Mo Dao battalions protected the left and right flanks of the pikemen's main formation respectively. Thousands of cavalry of the hussars assembled in front of the right side of the infantry formation, thinking that they should respond.

Dong Zunzhi patiently waited for Wu Yingying's army to line up, not that he had the grace, he didn't want to scare Wu Yingying's troops back into the camp because of the premature attack, the cavalry of the domain was not good at attacking fortifications, if Wu Yingying made up his mind to defend the camp, the forbidden army would suffer greater casualties, and the two border towns and domains around him were also two hungry wolves that needed to be guarded against. Since this is the case, he simply let Wu Yingying calmly set up the formation, and then defeated it in one fell swoop.

However, the short time for Wu Yingying's army to set up the formation was still much beyond his expectations, seeing that the enemy's Chinese army had erected the flag, it was obvious that the formation had been completed, but it stood quietly on the ground, and there was no intention of attacking, Dong Zunzhi felt a slight sigh in his heart: "Take advantage of the anger to send troops, now the formation has been completed, but he is cowardly, God knows how this person can accomplish things? Is it really luck?" He commanded the army for a long time, commanding and commanding, only made a slight gesture, and the flag officer was busy passing down the general's order. Without waiting for the cavalry to test the enemy's reality, the forbidden army slowly advanced towards the opponent. As soon as the formation moved, the captains of the battalions, all of them turned their heads, and they all shouted at the non-commissioned officer to keep the queue, which was completely different from the strict atmosphere just now. The two cavalry of the party and the Tubo on both sides were even more unbearable, not only the formation was not in order, and they walked fast and sometimes slowly, but the Tubo soldiers also slightly exceeded the forbidden army's large array by about 50 steps, but the party cavalry was 50 steps behind.

But these are all normal phenomena, and they are not staged in the school parade field, and they are crooked and slanted, so what does it matter, the heaviest bow and crossbow of the Great Song Dynasty Forbidden Army, as long as they move forward to the range of the bow and crossbow, ten thousand arrows are fired together, and they want to make that Wu hero look good. Dong Zunzhi was scheming in his heart, looking at the Wu Heroic Army formation that was still standing still in the distance, a relaxed smile appeared on his face, for decades, the imperial court had forbidden the army, and it was invincible.
