Chapter Fifty-Eight: Vicious Fighting, Rocky Beach

Huslen led more than 200 people to abandon their horses on foot, and the Tartars surrounded a semicircle towards Song Nan and others in the middle of the barren rocky beach, while Batu commanded the rest of the hundreds of cavalry to rush north to the mountain road between the valleys.

Song Nan knew that the time for hand-to-hand combat was finally coming, and there was a cliff behind, although it was only two zhang high, but there was no way to climb up, so he pulled out the waist knife and beat it on the rock with the back of the knife, and said loudly: "Brothers, the time for meritorious service has come, our reinforcements are coming soon, don't be afraid, fight to the death with them." ”

The soldiers were beating drums in their hearts, but seeing that Song Nan was weak and amiable on weekdays, he was not afraid on the battlefield, and his morale was greatly encouraged; Li Daniu leaned into Song Nan's ear and said, "Brother Nan, you will quietly walk from behind in a while, and I will fight with everyone to block it for you." ”

Song Nan smiled: "Do you treat me as a turtle with a shrunken head?" Da Niu, today I will teach you to see Brother Nan'er's ability, don't be soft when you engage in battle, fighting with the Tartars is like fighting with wild dogs, the more fierce you are, the more afraid they are, and the more fierce you are, the more fierce they will be. ”

Li Daniu licked his lips and said, "I know the truth, it can be regarded as a real knife and a real gun." ”

Song Nan patted him on the shoulder, turned his head and shouted to the more than seventy brothers beside him: "Listen to me, we are infantry, Tartars are cavalry, we are not as good as them in kung fu on the horse, we are one of the top kung fu on the ground, don't be afraid, the brave of the two armies wins, as long as we hold on to a stick of incense, our reinforcements will arrive." ”

The soldiers said in unison, "Understood." ”

Song Nan held the steel knife tightly, stretched out his hand on the rock, jumped on the rock, waved the knife and pointed at the Tartar soldiers approaching the cat's waist, and shouted loudly: "Slaughter these bitches and avenge the people of Ulzhou." ”

All the soldiers jumped up one after another, followed Song Nan's shout and rushed forward, and soon met with the Tartar soldiers, and the two sides fought together with swords; The advantage of the Tartar soldiers is that they are numerous, more than 200 people are three times that of Song Nan's side, but the kung fu on the flat ground is indeed much worse than that of the Ming army, and the advantage of numbers cannot be exerted in this rocky wasteland, obviously able to go around the other party's back to besiege, but was blocked by a big stone, and when he climbed the stone to go around, he found that his brother had been cut down to the ground.

And after staying on horseback for a long time, the flexibility under his feet is far less agile than that of the Ming army, and he suffered a loss as soon as he got started, and was killed by this group of red-eyed Ming soldiers in a hurry, and was knocked down more than a dozen.

Huslen hurriedly shouted: "Circle and encircle, don't fucking go it alone." ”

The Tartar soldiers understood, closed the encirclement, and sent additional men to the west of the fierce fighting, which blocked the crazy onslaught of the Ming army and gradually forced the Ming army into a small encirclement.

Song Nan's role in learning kung fu from Ye Fanggu for so many days finally came to use at this moment, no one expected that Song Baihu, who had no power to restrain the chicken, was the most brave in the fight, with a long knife in his hand, which was tricky and ruthless, specializing in slashing and killing vital parts, this is also because Ye Fanggu is a woman, her strength is not as good as others, and she can only rely on ruthless moves to win in the process of learning martial arts. The four Tartar soldiers who died under his command were either stabbed in the hands and feet or stabbed in the face, all in places that the armor could not protect.

Song Nan was still a little timid in his heart before, and the more he fought, the stronger he became, and he thought that he was already a martial arts master, but he didn't know that the Tartar soldiers were first-class in riding and shooting, but his fist and foot kung fu were commonplace, and his three-legged cat kung fu could only deal with these reckless men who could only slash and stab.

The encirclement shrank smaller and smaller, and the remaining sixty or so soldiers had to be compressed back to back under a huge rock, and the Tartar soldiers had no way to attack for a while, and they were judged to be crooked by all kinds of strange stones under their feet, but let the Ming army steal the air and kill more than a dozen people; Hu Silen was furious, and pushed away the few Tartar soldiers in front of him who were holding knives and making random gestures, and rushed up with scimitars, aiming directly at Song Nan.

Hu Silen saw that Song Nan was the leader of these people, that is, he was the most tricky, and he was constantly cheering in his mouth, encouraging the Ming army around him to work hard, capture the thief and capture the king, and kill this kid first, and the Ming army will be completely finished.

Song Nan saw Hu Silen raising a knife towards him, stepped forward and waved the knife to greet him, and the two knives were handed over, when there was a sound, Song Nan felt that his hand was empty, and the long knife was shocked and flew into the air, and the tiger's mouth was numb, and he couldn't help but be stunned there.

Huslenha laughed, revealing the two big front teeth that were open, and scolded: "Boy, the three-legged cat's kung fu still dares to fight with Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu teaches you to be a man." ”

Song Nan took a sip, reached out and took another long knife in the hands of the soldiers on the side, and slashed it without saying a word according to Hu Silen's big fat face.

The surrounding Tartar soldiers all laughed wildly, and everyone stopped fighting in their hands, and watched the two fight, and a group fight turned into a heads-up situation.

Li Daniu roared angrily and was about to step forward, but Song Nan grabbed him and said, "Stand down." ”

Li Daniu said: "Brother Nan! ”

Song Nan's face was pale, he reached out and took another long knife, and slashed it under Hu Silen's ribs, Hu Silen's body trembled with laughter, and he waved the knife to block again, and Song Nan's hand was empty again; All the Tartar soldiers laughed wildly, and the Ming soldiers were all dumbfounded.

"Boy, let's go home and eat milk for a few years, hahaha, surrender, you are so thin and tender, Lao Tzu will not cut off your head, we Batu Qianhu like the handsome rabbit master, serve him well, maybe you can be an official." Husleng was extremely proud.

Song Nan scolded: "your grandma's thigh, look who is behind you?" ”

Hu Silen turned his head to look, Song Nan took the knife and quickly swung the knife and slashed, Hu Sleng twisted his body and flashed, the scimitar waved sharply, Song Nan retracted his hand to avoid being knocked away by the blade in his hand by this guy again, but the knife was also empty.

"Play this game with Lao Tzu, you Han people are all bad pus, Lao Tzu decided not to spare you, suffer death." Husleng said angrily.

Song Nan waited with the horizontal knife in his chest, and Hu Sileng had enough strength to raise the scimitar and slash at Song Nan, Song Nan shouted: "Look who is behind you." ”

Hu Silen scolded angrily: "Come back to this, fuck your mother." ”

Before he finished speaking, he heard the sound of people behind him turning on their horses, accompanied by the exclamations and screams of the Tartar soldiers; Husileng was stunned for a moment, unconsciously turned his head to look, and saw the Tartar cavalry galloping towards the mountain road sinking into the pit one by one like dumplings, smoke and dust everywhere, and the screams were endless; Hu Silen's heart was shocked, and suddenly he felt a cold throat, a stream of hot blood spurted out of his neck, and the last sentence he heard at the end of his life was: "This time your Nan Ye didn't lie to you." ”

Because the Ming army is approaching outside Lixu, and there are hundreds of cavalry of the Ming army has arrived on the bank of the Sancha River, Batu Zhilu said, that is the signal that the Ming army is about to arrive, only the Ming army's large army can gather these hundreds of cavalry, the Ming army must be because the infantry is too slow, so all the cavalry is concentrated to pursue, and the hundreds of infantry outside the Li Xu are in the west to get rid of that group.

Batu had no intention of fighting, and ordered the soldiers to rush quickly to the north of the mountain, and the Tartar cavalry galloped into the mountain road, and as soon as the speed got up, it became drastic and steep, and dozens of cavalry rumbled and suffered annihilation, and all fell into the trap, and were stabbed with blood by the sharp stakes in the trap.

Unexpectedly, there are traps on this road, Batu Wow roared, and he didn't care about the life or death of the soldiers who fell into the pit, since the trap had been stepped on, he stepped on the bodies of these people and rushed over, but he never expected that this road was simply a trap maze, the cavalry all the way down like dumplings, and there were thousands of traps on the mountain road in just a few miles. It's hard to move an inch.

When Batu understood that this road was a dead end, and ordered to withdraw to the east and break through along the river bank, the cavalry of the Ming army had chased to the bottom of the mountain, Batu had to give the order to meet the battle, and the two sides launched a fierce battle on the barren rocky beach on the bank of the river under the narrow hillside, with the addition of the infantry led by Ma Ming and the approach of the Eastern Hundreds, the defeat of the Tartar soldiers was achieved.

Batu knew that if he didn't escape, he would die here, so he led the remaining more than 300 cavalry to break through to the east, and the hundred-man team that came from the east desperately intercepted, but he couldn't stop the Tartar cavalry who wanted to escape, but he was cut and trampled to death forty or fifty people, and finally watched Batu lead people to the east.

Jiang Bin led people to chase for a while, but his foot strength was not as fast as the Tartar's horse, so he could only watch Batu escape; Jiang Bin had no choice but to bring people back, and Song Nan, Ma Ming and others had already begun to count and clean up the battlefield.

In this battle, more than 700 Tartars and more than 400 cavalry died, and the Ming army also suffered a lot of losses, with more than 200 soldiers killed and more than 30 civilians killed, but overall it was a big victory.

When Jiang Bin saw Song Nan covered in blood at a glance, he dismounted, hugged Song Nan's shoulders and sighed: "Brother Song, you saved my Jiang Bin's life again, what the hell will I give you to repay you." ”
