Chapter 971: Killing the enemy with a hot hand
At this moment, in the camp of the Jin army, in addition to the 4,000 light cavalry who stayed in the north to defend the direction of Yanjing, together with the 600 masters who were responsible for guarding the 100 female soldiers of the Liao State, that is, the 600 masters who had set up an ambush before, there were only 2,000 men and horses left. Six hundred masters remained in the Chinese army, and only 1,400 cavalry reserves were lined up to the south of the Golden Camp.
Leaving reserves as a mobile force to support possible local tightness on the battlefield was not the preserve of later modern commanders, and the ancients knew how to do so. Even if you make dumplings, you can't mix all the noodles into dough, you always have to leave some dry flour to make up for it, and Wanyan Zongxian certainly understands this truth.
Just like the Jurchens who were shot to death by the Liangshan soldiers on the way to charge, the Jin soldiers in the camp also did not know what surrender was, and when they heard Yan Zongxian's screams, they were ready to charge, and they launched a charge at the same time as Bai Sheng moved north.
The idea of the more than 1,000 Jin soldiers was that no matter whether those heavy cavalry were dead or alive, they had to kill the Song army general who was coming first.
In the minds of these Jin soldiers, there was no need for 1,400 horsemen to charge at the same time, the other party was just one person, so why was there such a stirring up of the army?
No matter how high his martial arts are, even if he can capture Yan Zongxian, he doesn't need 1,400 cavalry to rush up at the same time, as long as 100 cavalry is enough.
But as the saying goes, a soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier, and at this moment, who doesn't know that capturing and killing this general of the Song army is a great achievement? As long as you kill this person with your own hands or capture him alive and return to the camp, and then report it to the emperor, then the rewards of being promoted to the third level, gold and silver, and beautiful women must be there, and you can choose them at will in the Huanyi Courtyard.
How can such a great achievement allow others to get ahead of the curve?
So no one was willing to be left behind, and everyone rushed up. Stimulated by such a huge achievement, they even ignored the man and woman who were holding Wanyan Zongxian hostage not far away.
It may not be a credit for capturing and killing that woman—isn't that woman going to remarry Yan Zongxian? If you go up and kill her, maybe Yan Zongxian will avenge her and kill you. After saving Yan Zongxian? Don't you see that he doesn't even have his arms and legs? You saved him, and he will be overwhelmed by the heavy responsibilities in the future, what's the use of saving him?
Therefore, the target of every Jin soldier fell on Bai Sheng's body, and he shouted in Jurchen words while charging: Kill this general of the Song Kingdom!
It was impossible for 1,400 cavalrymen to rush towards one person at the same time, they could only form layers of encirclement around Bai Sheng, and the first to arrive and occupy the innermost circle had the opportunity to kill the Song generals and make meritorious contributions.
This time, Bai Sheng no longer used the world without dogs, quietly waiting for the formation of the encirclement, and then used the Star Divine Sword to kill as much as he wanted.
This time, he deliberately wanted to create panic among the Jin army, so as to deter the enemy's courage, and the invisible sword qi swept through the enemy's neck arteries and blood vessels, and at the same time as the head rolled off, the blood that looked black in the moonlight shot out and soared into the sky.
Before the Jin cavalry in the inner layer who had lost their heads realized that they were about to die, his people had already used Ling Bo to come to the second layer of encirclement, and continued to copy the killing method just now, and so on.
What kind of panic can such a killing method create?
It was only said that Xiao Long and his wife, who were standing outside the outermost encirclement of the cavalry not far away, what scene did they see? Because of the obstruction of the outer cavalry, they could not see the rolling of the heads inside, and at first they could only see that there were black liquids spraying into the sky in the center of the encirclement, like black fountains rising and falling one after another.
But then the north wind sent a strong bloody aura, and they realized that where was this black fountain, it must be blood, the blood of the golden soldiers!
Then both of them and their husbands were shocked by Bai Sheng's ruthlessness, although Bai Sheng killed the enemy and killed their mortal enemy, but this way of killing people was unseen and unheard of, and it was really terrifying.
It's so ruthless! Hundreds of black fountains gushed into the sky, which means that hundreds or thousands of golden soldiers died almost at the same time, how did he do this? Can he turn into dozens of people and appear in the encirclement of all layers at the same time?
"Ling Bo Weibu!" Yelu Taribi judged correctly, "My brother-in-law must know Ling Bo Weibu!"
Under the heavy siege of the cavalry of the Jin Kingdom, Yelu Tali did not see Bai Sheng's shadow, how could he guess Bai Sheng's footwork? The answer was Xiao Feng.
In the book "Selected Excerpts from Yu Yan" held by Xiao Feng, he focused on the magic of Ling Bo Weibu of the Xiaoyao School, but there was no detailed explanation of Ling Bo Weibu's footwork.
Many years ago, Wang Yuyan asked for a copy of Ling Bo Weibu from Duan Zhengyan's hand, and generously asked her in-law Zhuo Bufan to study it, but although Zhuo Bufan failed to practice Ling Bo Weibu, he reversed a set of Zhuo's eight swords according to Ling Bo Weibu's reasoning.
Later, Ding Chunqiu, the old monster of the stars, escaped from Shaolin Temple by luck, and on the way to escape, considering that there was no antidote to life and death talismans, he lost the Shenmu Wang Ding, so that he could not continue to practice the Dafa of Huagong to suppress the poisonous backlash in the body, and he would not live long after all.
When a person was about to die, he remembered his daughter Li Qingluo, who was born to Li Qiushui, and when he found Mantuo Villa outside Gusu City, he was told by Wang Yuyan that Li Qingluo was dead, Ding Chunqiu couldn't help but cry like a child.
Wang Yuyan therefore believed that Ding Chunqiu was indeed her grandfather, so she treated him properly, and Ding Chunqiu was worried that the Shaolin Temple and the masters of the righteous path of the rivers and lakes would come out to hunt him down, and did not dare to stay in Mantuo Villa for a long time.
Of course, Wang Yuyan would not write Ling Bo Weibu on "Selected Excerpts of Yu Yan", but emphasized the wonder of this footwork on it.
It is only said that after Ding Chunqiu left Mantuo Villa, he remembered that he had an old relationship with Ouyang Muye in the past, and considering that the martial arts people of the Great Song Dynasty did not dare to go to Liao to arrest people everywhere, he went to Ouyang Muye where he took political refuge.
Ouyang Muye's second disciple, Xiao Feng, who was a girl at the time, didn't know the life of Ding Laowei, and only treated him as a friend of the master.
Of course, Xiao Feng failed to learn Ling Bo Weibu in Yu Yanxuan, but she knew that there was such a set of magical footwork in the world, and she had also told Yelu Dali about it, so tonight Yelu Da Libi guessed it, but he didn't know that Xiao Feng would not be able to Ling Bo Weibu.
Just now, she once wondered if there was any ambiguity in Bai Sheng's words - after all, Bai Sheng did not explicitly say that he married Xiao Feng and Yelu Gu at the same time, and she and her husband did not dare to ask each other directly, for fear of asking some embarrassing answers that would upset the benefactor.
It's just that in her heart, she recognizes Bai Sheng's character, and she feels that with a talent like Bai Sheng, martial arts is indeed worthy of the two national flowers of the Khitan.
Now that she thinks of Ling Bo Weibu, it confirms her previous conjecture even more, it seems that Bai Sheng really married Xiao Feng together, otherwise how could Xiao Feng teach him martial arts like Ling Bo Weibu?
