Chapter 28: Clear

Wu Yingying stood on a high platform made of wood, ordered Chase to take his horse, pulled out a dagger and stabbed the horse's heart, the horse neighed in pain, and died after a few convulsions. This time, he studied with Xin Gu for a long time before he learned.

All the soldiers looked at their commander in surprise, not knowing what Wu Yingying meant?

Wu Yingying looked at the army that was surprised but still lined up and waiting for the lecture, and said: "Sergeants, in the battle two days ago, you killed many enemies, because the enemy is outnumbered, and now we need to break through. No one can be left behind, and those who fall behind and leave without permission are bound to be killed by vengeful enemies. However, as your commander, I will definitely be with you, and I will never escape alone. I want you to remember that the Jinfan Army is a unit, and all the officers will not abandon you to escape alone, and together we will break through the enemy camp, just as the Tooth Camp did a few days ago. To move forward is to live, and to go back is to die. Now, all battalions and teams, make final preparations, listen to my orders, and advance without retreat!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xin Gu, Xiao Jiu and the captains also took their horses, killed them with daggers mercilessly, put their bags on their backs, and silently walked into the phalanx of the soldiers.

Volume 2: The sunset at the mouth of Wuyi Alley, chapter 24, the siege

As soon as he finished speaking, Xin Gu, Xiao Jiu and the captains also took their horses, killed them with daggers mercilessly, put their bags on their backs, and silently walked into the phalanx of the soldiers.

Seeing that the guards at the head of the city leaned out to look, Wu Yingying made a gesture with him to open the door, with a squeaky and hoarse sound, the iron rope slowly opened the city gate, and the Song army that was besieging the city did not have it, and all rushed towards the city gate, but were shot to the ground by a dense burst of crossbow arrows, and then the Jinfan army pounced out like a caged beast.

The Song army, which was in a siege posture, had almost no resistance, and scattered in all directions, giving up even the opportunity to storm the city gate. After the Jinfan army came out, the city gate slowly closed behind him.

Xin Gu held a shield in his right hand and a spear in his left, and led the Ya military camp to rush to the front of the whole army, and the Song army that blocked the road almost had no generals, so he rushed to the front of the southern camp of the Song army in one breath, and entered it according to a weak point observed during the day.

Pan Mei was originally outside the north gate of Shaankou Zhai commanded the elite to attack the city overnight, just heard that the army in the city from the south gate to kill, at first only thought that the defenders rushed out to destroy the siege equipment, a moment later, the deputy in charge of the south gate siege of the deputy reported that the Tang army had broken through the camp, Pan Mei was in a hurry to take a thousand iron cavalry to intercept, this iron cavalry is the elite of his northern Xinjiang transfer, these days in the cabin in the impatient, the cavalry immediately turned on the horse, with a whip scabbard to stop in front of the chaotic foot soldiers to drive away, urge the horse to run.

The Song army was caught off guard by the Jinfan army, but the Song army at this time was not as easy to bombard the camp as in later generations, although the camp was broken in a moment, but the soldiers who were originally resting in the camp were attacking the enemy army who came in with all their might, which put the Jinfan army that broke through under great pressure.

Xin Gu, who rushed to the front, was splashed with blood all over his face and didn't know if it was his own or someone else's blood, and there were several arrows on his shoulders and chest, the rear army led by Xiao Jiu was responsible for breaking off, and several times he was almost cut off by the Song army who rushed over in the middle, and the former military camp captain Bai Sheng was almost shot into a hedgehog by a Song army when he reflexively responded to the rear army, and then disappeared, even Wu Yingying also held a Mo knife in his hand, once he was entangled and killed by the Song army soldiers, he led a team of elite teeth army to kill the enemy in the past. The only ones who did not participate in the battle were the children of the Shaankou Army who were tightly protected by the front army, although these young children under the age of fourteen were born in troubled times and grew up in the army, but they had never seen such a tragic breakthrough and fighting, and knew that one bad was the end of all martyrdom, so they all turned pale, and they all leaned close together, following the footsteps of the surrounding soldiers and moving forward with difficulty. Although the Song army gathered around has never been killed and scattered, the Jinfan army that broke through the siege still rushed towards the south little by little.

Suddenly, Xingu noticed that the enemy forces desperately blocking their way began to become sparse. was about to rush out of the Song army camp, Xin Gu's heart welled up with a burst of ecstasy, and he shouted loudly: "Ya military camp, there is no advance or retreat!" Several captains of the Ya military camp who followed closely around him also discovered this, and shouted in unison: "There is no advance and no retreat!" The already tired body seemed to instantly regain its energy and quickened its pace. And the Song army also seemed to have lost the confidence to stop them, and after a few weak resistances, they all got out of the way.

Xin Gu, who finally rushed out of the Song army camp, did not have time to be happy, the cavalry of the brigade had already lined up in front, and the spears were all pointed at the Jinfan army that had just broken out of the encirclement, and the commander of the enemy army issued an order at the same time that Xin Gu was stunned, and a thousand iron horsemen began to run and accelerate in an orderly manner, until the sound of horses running echoed all over the sky.

"Spot the enemy cavalry, form a hollow phalanx! Xin Gu shouted hoarsely, while reaching out and pulling over a few captains who had almost lost their fighting spirit, and asked them to hold their spears and stand beside them, the usual and strict training worked, and under extreme fatigue and frustration, the Ya military camp still quickly formed two hollow phalanxes, and the former military camp soldiers who rushed out one after another either entered these phalanxes, or formed a small three formations of crossbowmen leaning around the spearmen phalanx, and the rear military camp was under the command of Xiao Jiu, relying on the fence south of the Song army camp, barely establishing a weak defense line to resist the surprise attack of the Song army on their backs from the large camp。

Just when the formation of the Southern Tang Army was not stable, more than 1,000 cavalry had rushed to the front, the first three rows of cavalry lifted the reins, and the war horses weighing hundreds of catties carried the cavalry into the air, and then fell heavily on the bodies of the spearmen in the first three rows, almost in an instant, the phalanx of the Southern Tang Army collapsed into countless gaps.

Before the second wave of Song cavalry arrived, Wu Yingying and Xin Gu, who were sitting in the two army formations, immediately led the tooth army to block the gaps that were rushed out by the Song cavalry who were not afraid of death. The crossbowmen in the formation also began to recover and shoot arrows non-stop. The subsequent Song cavalry suffered a much denser rain of arrows than the first row of cavalry before they rushed closer, and when they found that the decisive charge of the first three rows of cavalry did not seem to cause the enemy's formation to collapse, the cavalry commander who cherished the war horse ordered his men to start circling the phalanx of the Jinfan Army from a distance, while constantly shooting arrows into the phalanx. At this time, there were more and more Song infantry troops coming from all over the periphery of Shaankou Village, and due to the hasty adjustment of defense, they did not have a strict formation, and each commander was sorting out his troops while looking for the banner of the base camp. Cavalry is a precious type of troops, and now that the task of intercepting the enemy has been completed, Pan Mei intends to rely on the infantry army to complete the final attack.

"Brother Jin, what should I do?" The helmet of the former army centurion Jin Ji had fallen off nowhere, his scattered hair was draped on his face, and blood and sweat condensed together, but it did not affect his status in the hearts of his brothers in the slightest. In his early twenties, he was already a famous water thief in the Lianghuai area, and a few years ago in the massacre of Chuzhou, the people in the Lianghuai area were displaced, and even the mountain thieves couldn't do it, so they simply accepted the recruitment. With his martial arts, it was not difficult to win the lieutenant in a competition, but he was content to be a centurion, and most of the brothers who were recruited together were under his command.

"Resist first," Seeing that the few people beside him were all old brothers who had been following him for a long time, Jin Ji was still very cautious to look left and right before whispering: "If the Song army breaks the formation later, they will definitely go to grab the head of the commander, and at that time, there will definitely be a gap in the encirclement of the Song army, and we will have the opportunity to stand out if we are close together." Looking at the dense Song army outside, Jin Ji sighed and said, "If you really don't have a chance to escape, you just wait to surrender on your knees." ”

"What about you, big brother?" asked a brother who was nicknamed a fat and bold man.

Jin Ji squinted his eyes and looked at Wu Yingying, who was commanding his own soldiers in the distance, and smiled: "Since a certain family killed officials and rebelled at the age of seventeen, they have never thought of kneeling down and begging for mercy again. He sighed softly and tightened his grip on the hilt.

Wu Yingying didn't know how many of his subordinates had the idea of smearing oil on the soles of their feet, or using his head to ask for merit and reward, he only felt that the time was not good, and it was very bad. The Song army had a very strong cavalry, that is, on flat ground, they could not escape anyway, and they either surrendered or fought until they died. He was willing to surrender, but others did not necessarily give him a chance to negotiate terms.

The matter has come to this point, why bother mother-in-law and mother-in-law, looking forward and backward, since you have come to the five generations of the melee, dying in battle is probably the most probable way for a man to die. Wu Yingying smiled, bit a lock of loose hair in his mouth, forcefully pushed away the two pro-soldiers who were blocking in front of him, and slashed towards a Song Army rattan player, and the heavy Mo knife split the opponent's rattan card in half, and the Song Army's kung fu was cut off by the blade raised from the bottom to the top, and the blood sprayed all over the surrounding people, and several Song Jun next to him were also photographed by this might, dodging a few steps.

"Drink!" Wu Yingying roared without letting people scream, and hurriedly walked forward, sweeping with both hands and knives, and the Song army was either killed or wounded, seeing that the commander was so brave, the morale of the soldiers around him was greatly boosted, and they gathered around him and fought hard, and actually killed the Song army and retreated again and again, but there were more and more Song troops outside.

"Xin is crisscrossing the grassland, and sending his life here today can be regarded as repaying Lord Wei's life-saving grace, Wu Dalang, what are you going to do?" Xin Gu led ten of his own soldiers to rush over and join Wu Yingying, the five hundred elites of the Ya military camp are now only more than a hundred people around the two of them, and there are some soldiers from the front and rear armies in the distance who are still resisting to the death under the leadership of the captain and centurion, but they are obviously unable to break through.

Wu Yingying looked at the Khitan man whose face was splashed with blood dissatisfied, and shouted: "What are the plans now, kill one more and earn one, kill so many Song soldiers in the past few days, will they still give us a pension and send us to the end?"
