Chapter 224: Panlong Valley (2)

When most of the Jin soldiers in the west of Panlong Valley retreated safely, the Jin army in the east was chased by the enemy and suffered heavy casualties.

It turned out that although Song Jiang treated his subordinates well and had a good reputation for timely rain, in essence, he was a bit hypocritical and took his reputation too seriously. He is also bent on pursuing utilitarianism, always thinking of inflicting heavy losses on the Jin and Liao people, so as to make great contributions and go to the imperial court to seal the official and receive rewards.

In addition, Song Gongming knows strategy and has handsome talents, but he has no generals, and he doesn't know how to lead troops specifically. In a word, he is good at controlling the generals and planning the overall situation, and he is not good at leading troops to plan the local situation. In a specific battle, the situation has changed, and it is necessary to make a decision on the spot, which is the business of the front-line generals, and the commander-in-chief cannot interfere too much.

When the arrows rang out and the ambush soldiers on the hillsides on both sides fired at the enemy cavalry, due to the appearance of the Iron Float and the shield soldiers, the Jin army's bows and arrows were limited in their blows to the enemy. On the contrary, the mortality rate on their side is getting higher and higher. At this time, Song Jiang should order everyone to retreat in an orderly manner, reduce casualties, and preserve the vital forces.

However, Song Jiang could not recognize the situation clearly, insisted on letting the soldiers shoot at the enemy, and tried to break the enemy's cavalry with spears.

But all the nomads on horseback, their specialty is to bow their horses, that is, to ride and shoot. In the Great Song Dynasty, the Central Plains farming people were good at defending the city. With the shortness of the already and the length of the enemy, it is only a matter of time before Song Jiang is doomed to a fiasco.

When Sun An was about to dig a trap on the western slope and arrange a stone and wood formation in the middle section, he sent someone to inform Song Jiang and asked if the eastern slope could also be arranged in this way?

Song Jiang said: "No need, there are still 20,000 cavalry behind me, digging traps and arranging stone formations, which is not conducive to cavalry charge." Moreover, I have prepared a phalanx of spears and broken the enemy's cavalry. In this way, Song Jiang put more than 100,000 soldiers to death.

Since Song Jiang had prepared a phalanx of spears, he was very confident.

When the enemy cavalry rushed up the hill, the pikemen, under the command of the general, lined up in a phalanx of 1,000 men next to each other. The archers continued to suppress the enemy cavalry with their bows and arrows between the two phalanxes.

The spear formation broke the soldiers, and at that time it was a two-defeated and wounded play. And the defensive position should not be too wide, and there should be more than three phalanxes to start the horse in depth. Moreover, the guards were the infantry on the plain who tried to break through the encirclement, and at this time the enemy cavalry was fast, and they could only collide with the guns when they saw the gun. Generally, the first phalanx is easy to break through. But when breaking through the first phalanx, the dead and wounded enemy cavalry blocked the advance of the cavalry behind, and the cavalry behind got into a melee with the pikemen.

And Song Jiang's spear array only has one layer, and there is an invulnerable iron floating map in front of the cavalry. Tiefutu rushed into the forest of guns for a while, the spear array was quickly broken through, a large number of enemy cavalry rushed up, breaking into the phalanx from the gap, like chopping melons and vegetables, and the heads of the Jin soldiers were smashed open by countless wolf teeth......

Song Jiang took 500 personal soldiers and watched the battle a hundred steps away behind a phalanx, with Lei Heng on the left and Hua Rong on the right.

Song Jiang saw that more than a dozen horsemen rushed into the phalanx, rushed left and right, and soon broke through the phalanx, and a large number of enemy cavalry took the opportunity to attack the phalanx, and the lives of the frightened half-dead Jin soldiers continued to reap.

Yelu Hengshan, a young general of the Liao army, although he is only eighteen years old, has good martial arts, and always charges in front of the battle, and is now a thousand households of the Liao soldiers. When he broke into the phalanx with a thousand cavalry, he saw that there were hundreds of people not far in front of him who were guarding a man who was pointing fingers there, and knew that that person must be a big man in the enemy army, so he shouted: "Come two hundred horsemen, rush up with me and catch that man." ”

He took the lead and rushed forward. When there were two hundred households around him, each with his men, he had already rushed out thirty steps away.

It turned out that Song Jiang was on the hillside a hundred steps away, and he saw that the spear array could not stop the Liao soldiers at all. Shout and shout there that they must resist. Hua Rong and Lei Hengheng persuaded him to hurry up the mountain, it was too dangerous here, and he didn't pay attention to it at all.

Hua Rong saw that the young general of the Liao army had caught up, and a large number of cavalry had also discovered him, and they were all surrounding here. Knowing the danger, he gestured to Lei Heng, and the two of them fled to the mountain with Song Jiang on the left and right, and the five hundred soldiers also followed closely behind to block arrows for them.

But the two-legged man, where can he outrun the four-legged horse, and soon Yelu Hengshan will catch up with them.

The commander of the pro-military camp was Song Jiang's henchman Bantam Tiger Wang Ying, who saw the Liao army junior general chasing after him. Let Hua Rong and Lei Heng flee with Song Jiang first, and he took five hundred personal soldiers to stay behind to block the enemy.

Although Wang Ying is not afraid of death, his martial arts are mediocre. He saw that Yelu Hengshan had chased after him with a single gun, and the nearest Liao cavalry to this person was thirty paces away. So he decided to fight with this Liao general.

Wang Ying is very short in stature and is good at lying on sticks. In order to paralyze his opponent, he deliberately climbed up a high earth chop first, and when he saw Yelu coming, he deliberately held a cooked copper stick and jumped down from a soil chop.

Yelu Hengshan thought that he was going to use the force of downward pressure to split off his head with a stick, and hurriedly pulled the mace from the bottom to the top to block the stick. Unbeknownst to him, his stick drew an arc to the right, and the moment he landed on the ground, it was a stick that shone on the enemy's horse's leg. The horse had been in battle for a long time, jumped sideways, and let go of Wang Ying's sneak attack.

And Yelu Hengshan, who was on the horse, saw him cheating, and a mace slashed at him, Wang Ying hurriedly raised his stick to parry, and was beaten by Yelu Hengshan and his brain was shattered. When the five hundred soldiers saw that the Lord was about to die, they shouted and dispersed.

Yelu Hengshan was not interested in those small soldiers, so he chased after the three of them.

Lei Heng saw that Yelu Hengshan was getting closer and closer, and hurriedly shouted: "Brother Huaxian, release the arrow, I will run with my eldest brother." ”

Hua Rong took off his bow and arrows, and fired two arrows in a row, both of which were knocked away by Yelu Hengshan with a fierce mace.

It was too late for Hua Rongfa to send the third arrow, and Lei Heng said: "It's urgent, the virtuous brother must protect his brother and rush out." "As soon as he jumped up, he threw himself towards Yelu Hengshan, who was riding on horseback three zhang away.

Lei Heng is known as the winged tiger, and no one can match his vertical jumping skills. Yelu Hengshan didn't expect Lei Heng to jump high and far, and he couldn't dodge, and was thrown off his horse by Lei Heng. The two of them rolled down the slope with their arms in their arms. The follow-up cavalry caught up, killed Lei Heng with a random stick, and rescued Yelu Hengshan.

Countless enemy cavalry knew from the mouths of the captives that it was Song Jiang, the leader of the Jin army, who fled to the mountain. They rushed from afar to capture him alive. There were enemy horsemen in all directions shouting: "Capture Song Jiang alive!" Song Jiang was so frightened that his soul flew away......

After all, what is the fate of Song Jiang, and listen to the details below.
