Chapter 194: Fighting General
Zhu Hu has been a first-class master, and Suo Chao battle, the upper hand, fifty rounds, about to defeat Suo Chao, suddenly a cold arrow shot, right in the horse's neck.
The war horse screamed and fell to the ground, Zhu Hu was caught off guard, and also fell to the ground, one leg was pressed by the war horse, and he couldn't get up.
Suo Chao was stunned, stood in place and did not move, hesitating whether to take the opportunity to kill Zhu Hu, and struggled inwardly.
Li Cheng hurriedly ordered: "Come on, go and tie up Zhu Hu!" ”
A group of soldiers rushed out, rope in hand, and pounced on Zhu Hu.
Seeing that Zhu Hu was in distress, Zhu Long was shocked, and a person had already flown out, galloping and releasing arrows, and several soldiers who rushed to Zhu Hu fell to the ground one after another.
This person is none other than Hua Rong! The moment Zhu Hu's mount was hit by an arrow, he knew that something was wrong and immediately stepped forward to save people.
"This man is an archer!" Li Cheng was shocked.
Zhou Jin was unconvinced when he heard this, and immediately bent his bow and arrow, and shot an arrow at Hua Rong.
Hua Rong lowered his head to dodge, Zhou Jin wanted to shoot a second arrow, but suddenly his throat was torn like a huge pain, and then his eyes went black, and he fell to the ground with a thud.
"The light of the grain of rice shines too!" Hua Rong sneered and rushed to Zhu Hu's side.
Suo Chao waved the big axe and rushed over to stop it, Hua Rong collected his bow and took the gun, one slashed with the axe, the momentum sank, the other was fast and flexible, and the two fought inseparably!
Li Cheng wanted to capture Zhuhu alive, so he rode out with Wen Da and Zhang Qing.
But Shi Wengong, Lin Chong, Qin Ming, and Liu Tang have already been killed.
Zhang Qing took out a stone from the brocade bag, threw it at Qin Ming who rushed to the front, Qin Ming couldn't dodge, he was hit in the face, and the blood flowed, which aroused his anger, roared angrily, and continued to rush forward.
Zhang Qing saw that he was so fierce, so he threw out another stone, Qin Ming was prepared, and hurriedly lowered his head, but the stone was running towards the horse's head, the war horse was in pain, lost control, and the person stood up, carrying Qin Ming and turned his head and ran.
After Shi Wengong dodged Zhang Qing's stone, he killed in front of Zhang Qing, held up Fang Tian's halberd, and slashed down.
Zhang Qing raised his gun to greet him, only to feel a shock in his arm, and after two more rounds, he was horrified in his heart, feeling that he was not at the same level as the other party at all, and there was a sense of powerlessness in his heart.
Lin Chong and Li Cheng fought, both of them had a somewhat similar body and temperament, and when they fought each other, they were also chess opponents, and the two spears came and went, which was dazzling.
Liu Tang jumped off the horse, pushed away the dead horse, and rescued Zhu Hu.
Wenda stared at Zhu Hu and slapped the horse to kill.
"Borrow me the war horse!" Zhu Hu jumped on Liu Tang's horse and fought with Wenda.
Shi Wengong's side has the most disparity in strength, he appreciates Zhang Qing's stunt of hitting people with flying stones, and can't bear to kill him, so he entangled for a while, first attacking like a storm, making Zhang Qing's physical strength crazy and exhausted. Then he violently picked up Zhang Qing's spear, took advantage of the staggered opportunity of the two horses, lightly stretched the ape's arm, clamped Zhang Qing under his armpit, ran back to the main formation, and threw it in front of Zhu Long.
Zhu Long's personal guards were already very experienced, and hurriedly took the rope and stepped forward to tie Zhang Qing up.
Suddenly, a tall figure strode towards Zhang Qing, raised his fist and hit, "Straight lady thief, tell you to hurt people with a secret weapon!" Today, I will also let you eat the fists of the Sprinkle family, and see how your head compares to Zheng Tu! ”
He punched Zhang Qing far away.
Shi Wengong hurriedly jumped off the horse, grabbed Lu Zhishen, and persuaded: "Master, if you fight again, you will be killed!" Let the lord dispose of it! ”
Zhu Long walked in front of Lu Zhishen and persuaded him with good words: "Master, our Zhu family army is brothers from all over the world, everyone is not fighting and not knowing each other, if they all want to take revenge and sort out grievances, then the Zhu family army will be torn apart." Please be magnanimous and spare his life! ”
Seeing that Zhu Long said this, Lu Zhishen had no choice but to give up and retreated angrily.
Zhu Long looked at Zhang Qing, and felt a little helpless in his heart, when Qin Ming's "thunderbolt" came back, I am afraid that there would be another burst of chickens and dogs. They all complained that Zhang Qing's move of flying stones to beat people was too hateful, and the beaten people were not convinced, and they were on fire.
If you fight in a serious way, even if you lose and get hurt, you will generally be convinced and will not take drastic actions. For example, Shi Wengong injured Guan Sheng, Guan Sheng didn't take it to heart at all, but admired Shi Wengong. It is said that after he was injured, he still had some senses, and his knife skills went to the next level.
Zhu Long jumped off the horse, helped Zhang Qing up, and said: "General Zhang, I respect you for being a good man, why don't you surrender to my Zhu family army, and work together for the heavens, eliminate violence and peace!" ”
Zhang Qing snorted coldly, and his bruised face turned to the side.
"I don't know what to do, let the Sprinkle family beat him to death!" Lu Zhishen shouted again!
Zhu Long hurriedly instructed the guards: "Escort back to the camp, take care of it!" ”
The guards hurriedly tied up Zhang Qing and escorted him to the direction of the barracks.
Zhu Long looked at Shi Wengong and praised. "Teacher Shi is about to capture the generals, and Zhang Zhiyong is also about it!"
"The lord has a good reputation!" Rao is Shi Wengong, who has always been calm, heard Zhu Long's praise, and couldn't suppress the joy on his face, and in the congratulations of others, he happily returned to his original position.
Since the two Jin and Southern Dynasties until the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the highest affirmation of the personal martial arts of the generals is the four words "Guan, Zhang Zhiyong", like Zhang Xutuo, one of the four famous generals of the Sui Dynasty, Deng Qiang, the general of Fu Jian, Liu Yao at the end of the Western Jin Dynasty, Yang Dayan and Cui Yanbo of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Xue Tong and Gao Jinzhi of the Southern Song Dynasty, Xiao Maha of the Chen Dynasty, as well as Wang Fei, Liang Song, Zhao Chang, Li Zhen, etc., although some of them have a loud reputation, some are unknown, but at that time, they were all famous gods and generals who left their names in the official history.
These people are without exception, and the people of the time called them "Guan and Zhang Zhiyong", and such a reputation was recorded by the historians.
Therefore, it is not difficult to understand why Shi Wengong was so happy when he heard Zhu Long praise himself for having "Guan and Zhang Zhiyong".
"Look!" Bian Xiang pointed down and shouted.
Everyone looked over one after another, only to see that Hua Rong had defeated Suo Chao and fled back to the army with a big axe.
Hua Rong hung the spear on the hook of the saddle, took off the bow, drew the arrow, aimed at Suo Chao's back, and shot it with an arrow!
The long arrow hit Suo Chao's right shoulder, Suo Chao wore a double layer of thick armor, the arrow was not deep into the flesh, but his body shook, sat down firmly, continued to move forward, and returned to the main formation.
Zhu Long praised: "Hua Rong's archery skills are unparalleled, and his marksmanship is also first-class, and he is really a tiger general!" ”
After a while, he suddenly heard Lin Chong shouting and stabbed Li Cheng under the horse.
Li Cheng's eyes widened, he didn't understand, why Lin Chong suddenly burst out with such a powerful strength and speed, obviously he was on par, and he was an opponent in chess!
Shi Wengong saw it, his face changed, it seems that in the last battle, Lin Chong had not used a real trick.
Seeing that Zhang Qing was captured, Suo Chao was injured, and Li Cheng was killed, he had no fighting spirit, so he left Zhu Hu and ran back to the front of the battle, waved the banner and roared: "Attack!" ”
The fighting general is a double-edged sword, and if you win, you can improve morale; Lose, hit the fighting spirit.
At this time, the morale of the officers and soldiers was low.
The officers and men of Dongchang Mansion were even taken away, and under the leadership of the two deputy generals, "Huaxiang Tiger" Gong Wang and "Medium Arrow Tiger" Ding Desun, they shouted the slogan of rescuing the capital prisoner and charged up the hillside.
Li Cheng's death seriously hit the morale of the officers and soldiers of the Daimyo's Mansion, he was an old leader for many years, and his prestige was very high, and today he actually died in front of the battle!
Such a high official, such a strong martial arts, is even the same as ordinary people, saying that death is death! It will be the courage of the soldiers, and when the general is dead, the courage of the soldiers is gone.
Fortunately, they still have Wenda and Suo Chao!
Suo Chao lived up to the nickname of "Urgent Pioneer", although he had an arrow stuck in his back, he still fearlessly charged ahead, and the officers and soldiers followed behind, and his courage was greatly increased.
Zhu Hu, Lin Chong, Hua Rong, and Liu Tang had already returned to the back of the infantry formation, and Zhu Long stared at Zhu Hu's leg and asked, "How are you, your leg wasn't crushed, right?" ”
Zhu Hu patted his leg and said regretfully: "The leg is fine, it's a pity for my horse!" ”
He searched among the generals without success, and asked, "What about Lao Qin?" Why haven't you come back yet? ”
"Don't worry about Lao Qin, I'm probably going to the military division and General Guan!" Zhu Long was not worried about Qin Ming's safety.
"If he doesn't leave, who will lead the dragoons? Or I'll do it! ”
Zhu Long shook his head, looked at Shi Wengong, and said, "Teacher Shi, you and Brother Zeng Kui should go to the dragoon!" The dragoons will go to the battlefield later, so I will hand it over to you, Bian Xiang, and Zeng Kui! ”
"Yes!" Shi Wengong turned around and went, and not long after, he came back in a flying god soldier to listen to the instructions, but he didn't wear a mask.
Zeng Kui was overjoyed when he heard Zhu Long call his name, and he and his brother squeezed their eyebrows, and also went to the back to change the armor and horse armor of the dragoon.
After Zhu Long's observation during this time, among the Zeng brothers, the eldest Zeng Tu was calm and capable, the second was dense and wise, the third was alert and decisive, Zeng Kui was reckless and impatient, and the fifth was young and vigorous, and it was most suitable for Zeng Kui to do the work.
He turned his gaze to the three people who came back with Zhu Hu, and said, "Sect Chief Lin has made a great contribution by killing the enemy's main general!" Brother Hua and Brother Liu Tang saved Zhuhu, I also want to thank you! ”
Lin Chong and Hua Rong said a few words modestly, and hurriedly went to the cavalry camp of the Xuanwu Army on the left flank, Liu Tang puffed up his chest, glanced at Zhu Hu, and was triumphant.
Zhu Hu said angrily: "Come to the cavalry camp of the Guards, cover it by me, no one dares to bully you!" ”
Liu Tang sneered: "Hehe, I'm so big, no one has bullied me yet, I don't need a human cover!" But riding a horse and slashing people might be a bit of fun! ”
Liu Tang said a word to Chao Gai and followed Zhu Hu to the cavalry battalion of the Guards on the right flank.
A thousand officers and cavalry had already slaughtered in front of the infantry formation, and after the rain of arrows and javelins, they were faced with a forest of spears and bows and arrows a few paces away, and they were finally forced to retreat.
Zhu Long let the cavalry on both wings rush and kill for a while and then returned, and ordered people to lead the ownerless empty horses in front of the formation to the back.
Chao Gai and Chai Jin have been watching from the side, but the two are in different moods.
"I wish the officials such elite soldiers and many fierce generals to sweep the world, just around the corner!" Chai Jin was very happy to see that the Zhu family's army was strong, and felt that he had found a powerful force to rely on.
Chao Gai was in a complicated mood and remembered Liangshan back then. On Liangshan, although there are a lot of troops, there are no such elite soldiers, and he is not unjustly defeated!
Zhu Long looked back from time to time, and there were several heralds on the top of the mountain, holding flags and looking into the distance.
"Keep staring, can't get distracted!" Zhu Long sternly admonished the two guards beside him, and the two held their heads high, staring intently at their companions on the mountain, waiting for their flags.
"General, what now?" Suo Chao looked at Wenda.
Wenda said angrily: "What else can I do, continue to attack!" I don't believe that our 4,000 cavalry can't beat this hill! You're hurt, let someone else this time! ”
Wenda has a headache, usually Li Cheng comes up with the idea, he is only responsible for the implementation, and now he wants to take the idea, it's really difficult for him!
However, he is also experienced in battle formations, since it is not possible to attack the opponent's infantry phalanx like Suo Chao, then change the method, he ordered two commanders, each with a thousand cavalry, to attack the cavalry on the left and right flanks of the Zhujia army.
However, there were only 500 people on the two wings of the Zhujia army, and the officers and troops had a numerical advantage, which could completely offset the disadvantage caused by the upward attack. The only thing to worry about is that the opposing generals are brave, and the officers and officers of the army are not opponents at all in front of them, and if they are killed, it will be serious.
So he repeatedly told the two magistrates not to be brave, just command in the army!
In fact, he was too worried, and after seeing the fighting general just now, who in the official army would dare to fight with the military general of the Zhu family army now.
The two cavalry were like a pair of big pincers of lobsters, attacking the two wings of the Zhujia army, and under the command of Wenda, they chose a very tricky angle, not attacking head-on, but going around to the outside and attacking the cavalry on both wings from the flank. In this way, the cavalry of the Zhujia army could not get the bow and arrow support of the infantry, and they could not dodge, because as soon as they dodged, they showed the weak wings of the infantry in front of the official cavalry, so they could only fight hard.
"Kill!"
Lin Chong, Hua Rong, Zhu Hu, Lu Fang, and Liu Tang all took the initiative to face the battle, with fewer enemies and more enemies, but they were not afraid.
The armor of the cavalry of the Zhujia army was inferior to that of the real heavy cavalry at that time, but it was much stronger than the armor of the official army.
A thick cuirass and a hard helmet can block most damage.
The battle on the two wings was very fierce, and Zhu Long only had Shi Wengong, Su Ding, the four brothers of the Zeng family, Wei Dingguo and others and four hundred cavalrymen around him, most of whom were from Zengtou City, and the rest were in their respective posts.
"Lord, let's go to war!" Su Dinghe and Zeng Tu asked for war, and Wei Dingguo continued to ask for war to show his loyalty.
"Wait a little longer!" Zhu Long said calmly.
With shoulder armor, fierce generals, morale and well-trained soldiers, the Zhujia army withstood the attack of the cavalry of the official army and began to counterattack.
"Look, my lord, the flag is waving from above!" The guard next to him shouted.
Zhu Long hurriedly looked back, and sure enough, his subordinates on the top of the mountain were shaking a green flag, which meant that the people above had already seen the reinforcements of the Zhu family's army.
"Sect Leader Shi, you lead the dragoons to attack! After defeating the invading officers and soldiers on the right flank, continue to attack the cavalry phalanx below and cut it apart!
Teacher Su, Brother Zeng, you lead all the cavalry, attack the officers and soldiers on the right flank, and then continue the pursuit. ”
