Chapter 673: Chen Qiao's first battle against Zhao Song's army

The sun was shining this morning, and there was some fog in the early September morning, so it felt very cool.

As time passed, the fog began to dissipate, and the sun had a scorching temperature, and the Flying Eagle team in front also sent back the news that the young marshal was here.

Yesterday at noon, they left Bianliang City and all the evacuees left the city at 3 p.m. Sushi is protected as a broken one.

Knowing that the Song army would never let themselves leave easily, the retreating personnel did not stop leaving even in the dark, and drove the road all night with the flashlight they had already taken out, and finally let them walk dozens of miles and came to the Chenqiao territory.

The two sides were about to converge, and behind them, the first pursuing army of the Song Dynasty followed.

In front of Chenqiao Town, Su Shi, who was riding a white horse, came to Ji Zhu and the others. "How's it going, how was your rest last night?"

"Young marshal, we are all well rested." Ji Zhu and the others replied excitedly.

"Okay, it's time to take a break, I'm afraid it's hard to have a stop from now until the destination." Su Shi also smiled, especially when his eyes swept over everyone, his mind was activated, and he was even more satisfied when he saw that everyone was a bright red color on the top of their heads.

Knowing that everyone was really following him, Su Shi was more confident that he would leave Song Realm safely this time.

After greeting Ji Zhu and the others, Su Shi asked everyone to take out food and began to quickly replenish the nutrients in the body. Chen Qiao here will be the place where he will fight the first battle with the Song army, although he does not want to hurt the Song army composed of Han people, but in order to protect himself, sometimes he has no choice but to do it.

Ye Lengchan wants to stay, according to her, she is a peerless strength, and staying is also a big help. But everything left quickly because of Su Shi's words. "My parents are right in front, and Lu Siqiao should be meeting them. Oh yes, and the eldest princess of the Great Song Dynasty, who has always been by my parents' side. ”

"Take care and take your leave."

Ye Lengchan heard that her future in-laws were in front, and her competitors were not one or two who had already taken the lead, where did they dare to wait more, so she turned around and left.

"Huh." Watching Ye Lengchan ride away, Su Shi laughed out loud.

At this moment, Su Shi felt that the air was filled with a sense of freedom, and at this moment he felt more relaxed and comfortable than he had ever felt before.

In front of Chenqiao Town, after Su Shi and the others had breakfast, they lined up and waited. They were not disappointed, and in less than half an hour, a pursuing party of nearly 8,000 men followed from behind.

The commander of the Praetorian Guard, commanding the envoy Xue Sheng, with five battalions of his subordinates with a total of 2,500 forbidden troops, plus 5,000 Song soldiers guarding the outer city, soon came out of Chenqiao Town and stopped two miles away from the Su family's army.

The Great Song Forbidden Army is known as the most elite army, not only because they are all tall and look mighty. What's more, all of them have armor on them.

Although as an ordinary forbidden army, it is impossible to wear gold armor like the forbidden army guarding the palace, but the pitch-black armor on the whole body still makes the other Song soldiers envious.

Under the underdeveloped technology, an extra layer of armor is equivalent to a great chance to save your life.

For example, if you are also shot by an arrow, the result is different between those with armor and those without armor.

Unarmored soldiers are either killed or injured once they are hit by an arrow.

Armored soldiers generally do not die unless they shoot in a critical position. Even more often, the arrows can't even penetrate the armor, so they can only be stuck in it, and more often they fall directly to the ground.

Of course, this is just an ordinary bow and arrow, like the bow and arrow used by the Su family, the specifications are all the same horizontal, and the material is also abnormally sharp.

In the former northern battlefield, the alien race suffered a lot from heavy arrows.

It's just that the Song army is facing this kind of arrow for the first time. The former friendly army has now become an opponent, and it can be expected that the Song army will soon feel the power of the Su family's arrows like the alien race.

Before Xue Sheng came to Chenqiao Town with 7,500 soldiers, after seeing that the black-clothed Su family army on the opposite side had already set up a formation, he also hurriedly shouted at his soldiers to start the formation.

Su Shi on the opposite side only had more than 2,000 soldiers around him, and he was three times the strength of the other party, which made him faintly excited in his heart.

This is a great achievement in counterinsurgency, once Su Shi can be captured alive, Xue Sheng can at least be promoted to another level, which can be described as a great temptation for him.

"Charge in ten breaths." Su Shi, who was riding on a white horse, looked at the Song army who was about to unfold, and gave orders to Ji Zhu and the others beside him.

Su Shi did not comfort the other party.

It's to know that it's useless to say anything now.

The best way is to hurt the other person and let them know how good they are, which will be more useful than a thousand or ten thousand words of persuasion.

As for killing and injuring the Song army because of this, Su Shi couldn't care so much. In the end, the lives of others are not as important as their own brothers.

Besides, if you want to overthrow an old dynasty and establish a new order, how can it be possible for the undead. 33

Ten breaths of time came in a flash.

The army of Xue Sheng on the opposite side was still unfolding, and more than 2,000 black horsemen led by Ji Zhu on this side had already rushed forward and launched a charge.

"Shoot the arrows, release the arrows, and stop the other party from approaching."

"Others, be ready to fight back at any time."

Seeing that the black rider was rushing towards him so quickly, Xue Sheng's heart was tight. While scolding Su Shi for not speaking of martial virtues, he ordered the archers to release arrows.

The Praetorian Guards were good at mounted archery, at least so they thought so.

In the usual three-day training, there is an hour to train bows and arrows, which also makes them extremely confident.

Five battalions, 2,500 forbidden troops, and two battalions of forbidden troops took out bows and arrows and were ready to counterattack at any time.

From this point of view, the forbidden army can indeed be called elite. Its reaction speed is also fast enough, or it can also be said that the current Song Dynasty still has some heritage, the founding of the country has only been a hundred years, and the army has not rotted to the bones.

Compared with the forbidden army, which can react quickly, the bravery of the 5,000 soldiers defending the city is very unqualified.

These are soldiers who have only recently been called up into the army. In addition to their youth, they are incommensurable in other aspects.

They have the strength to deal with the mountain bandits in the face of seven days, but if they want to face the world's elite and strong black horses, it is too far behind.

The black horse charged, and the distance of two miles was under the rapid rush of the war horse, which could be said to be instantaneous. And just as they had reached about two hundred paces, the bows and arrows of two battalions of a thousand forbidden troops were shot out by them.

Thousands of arrows were fired at once, and there was still quite a bit of formation, and a piece of black pressure fell from the sky, forming an arrow net, as if trying to isolate the distance between the two sides.

Faced with thousands of arrows, the normal reaction of the cavalry is to dodge to the left and right, that is, the so-called avoiding their edge.

Once the Black Rider has done so, the next attack can only be from the left and right. Those two directions are where the five thousand ordinary soldiers are located, and in the middle of the time, Xue Sheng can borrow ordinary soldiers to resist the black cavalry's soldiers, and then he can take the two thousand five hundred forbidden troops of the Chinese army to support the left and right at any time.

At that time, the initiative is in his hands.

At that time, Xue Sheng could play wherever he wanted. With the advantage of numbers, it is enough to put a lot of pressure on the black horse.

The arrow was released, and Xue Sheng smiled on his face, waiting for the scene to happen. But soon his eyes widened, his mouth wide open, and he looked incredulous.

The black rider didn't dodge the arrows falling from the sky, but just lay down on the horse's back to prevent the arrows from falling on the head. Then the speed did not decrease, and just like that, he rushed into the arrow array.

The stab-proof suit is naturally more than enough to defend against ordinary arrows. And because the material is lighter, they can have a strong defense, but their bodies are still flexible. As far as war horses are concerned, they can reduce the gravity of their armor by more than a dozen or even dozens of catties, and they can also be made faster.

Xue Sheng was only a general of the forbidden army, and he had never dealt with the black cavalry before, so he didn't know the power of the stabbing suit.

It was just a stab-proof suit that was black in color, but as thin as ordinary clothing, and he really didn't look at it.

The aging of his thinking made him only recognize armor, but not stab-proof clothing.

This is inevitably incomprehensible when you see the black knight rushing straight towards the land of arrows. It was only what happened next that he finally understood why these black knights dared to ignore the threat of arrows, because he had already seen some of the arrows fall on the black knights, but they only pierced on them, causing no harm.

"What armor this is, so thin, and so powerful for defense."

This scene subverted Xue Sheng's three views, and he couldn't help but exclaim, and then...

And then there was no then.

The black rider didn't stop, and without changing direction, he rushed in front of Xue Sheng.

Ji Zhu on the horse held the overlord spear in his hand and stabbed forward towards Xue Sheng's chest.

In the face of this blow, Xue Sheng had no intention of blocking it, but instead held the long knife in his hand and slashed towards Ji Zhu's body.

Xue Sheng was confident in the armor on his body, believing that it was impossible for the other party to penetrate the armor and pierce his body with a single shot. As long as the opponent misses a blow, it is the time for his own long knife to win the merit.

Wearing the general's heavy armor, Xue Sheng raised his sword to slash, but because of the hindrance of the heavy armor, the speed could not be as fast as Ji Zhu, so that the result was that as soon as his long knife was raised, the overlord spear had already come to him, and then pierced through the armor without resistance to his chest.

The head of the Overlord gun is high-carbon steel, and its sharp edge is often used as a drill.

The long knife was just raised, and then he felt a pain in his chest, followed by a black in front of him, and Xue Sheng, who lost consciousness, pounced and fell towards the horse.

Some people died, but not completely......
