0261, the first battle formation
Everything that is at the moment is changing in an instant.
At the critical juncture, Xiong Chu was imprisoned for six days.
At other times, six days is not worth mentioning, but not now.
There was a shout of killing from the west of the city, and the bear prince didn't know what was going on.
But no matter what it is, his intuition tells him that today's matter must not be small.
Mandeli has already said a lot of inside information, what is the bed-sitting living Buddha, Dharma King and so on, it is not a fuel-efficient lamp.
Xiong Chu didn't know the situation, but he suddenly appeared at the door of the Rejuvenation Pavilion, and the most excited was the shopkeeper.
"Thank goodness you're finally back, Childe!"
Xiong Chu is in a hurry now, and he is not in the mood to talk about anything else: "The shopkeeper, don't talk about the rest." I'm going to take your entire second floor down now, and then settle these girls. I mean two things when I say settle down: first, prepare the meal immediately, and second, prepare fragrant soup for them to bathe and change their clothes immediately. ”
The shopkeeper had already come out and nodded: "You don't need to be instructed by the son, because the entire second floor has already been packed, and it is said that it is your wife." ”
Speaking of this, the shopkeeper turned around: "What are you all doing in a daze, why don't you hurry up and invite these distinguished guests in and settle down!"
Madame?
That means that there is more than one person here, Yan Erniang and Lan'er have all come?
Xiong Chu didn't know the essentials, and he didn't have time to think about it.
Taking off the Longquan Sword from his belt and handing it to Mandaili, Xiong Chu said hurriedly: "Mandeli, these girls will stay here for the time being to rest, and you will be responsible for taking care of it." I'm going out now to see what's going on outside the city. ”
At this moment, the seventeen people in the rivers and lakes who had been rescued by Prince Xiong rushed over and shouted: "Hero, we have received the news, it seems that the Tartar soldiers are storming the west gate of the city, and I heard that the large army of the Tartar soldiers has rushed into the mouth of the Killing Hu and is besieging Youyu City. ”
"Now the east gate and the south gate are full of refugees, and the entire Shuozhou City has been completely chaotic. If the city is broken and everyone is dead, what do you think we should do next?"
It wasn't until this time that Prince Xiong didn't know what was going on in the west of Shuozhou City, and he was stunned at that time.
Killing, killing one after another, Xiong Chu thought he could do it.
But the military discipline battle array, the siege of the city, that is not the same thing at all.
The war has been heard of by Prince Xiong, but he has never seen it, let alone experienced it personally.
Seeing that the person talking to him was a red-faced man in his early thirties, who seemed to be the leader of this group of people, Prince Xiong asked, "Brother, may I ask your name?"
The red-faced man hugged his fists: "In Qiao Ruoshan, Tiantai Mountain, friends in the rivers and lakes sent a nickname Shadowless Whip." ”
Nodding, Xiong Chu stretched out his hand and pointed at the other sixteen people: "Are these friends all our heroes in Shanxi?"
Qiao Ruoshan hesitated slightly: "Actually, we are all people from Tiantai Mountain in Dai County, let's be honest, we are from Qiaojiazhai in Tiantai Mountain, and I am the owner of the big village that occupies the mountain." ”
"Because those lamas wanted to occupy the Zhao Gao [gǎo] view, of course we didn't agree. But they couldn't win against them, and as a result, Qiao's village was breached, hundreds of brothers were scattered, and we were also captured. ”
Xiong Chu nodded: "It turned out that it was the master of Qiao Zhai in person, and he was disrespectful and disrespectful." I don't know what the outcome of this battle will be, but a lot of people will surely die. If the master of Qiao Zhai is really not afraid of death, this matter still has to be discussed. ”
Qiao Ruoshan waved his hand: "Hero, please give orders as you like, our lives are all saved by you, and they belong to you." We can fight as much as you want, the key is to get out of this. ”
"Sure enough, it's a big husband!" Xiong Chu is not hypocritical: "Fighting is not a single fight on the rivers and lakes, naturally the more people, the better." What I mean is to let the two brothers go out of the city immediately, gather the original scattered cottage brothers as much as possible, and go all out to reinforce Shuozhou City. The other brothers are going to take a look out of the city with me now and then make a decision. ”
It's not that Xiong Chu is not hypocritical, but he is so anxious now.
The shopkeeper said that his "ladies" had come, but now no one saw them.
What kind of character those tigresses are, Xiong Chu knows very well in his heart. If it doesn't work well, they may be outside the West Gate now.
Now there is no time to talk nonsense, even if Qiao Ruoshan and they don't go, Xiong Chu will have to kill and take a look, because emergency reinforcements are the first place.
In other words, Xiong Chu has no bigger plans in his heart so far, let alone any greater ambitions, the only thing he thinks is that as long as the people around him are okay.
However, things often turn out unexpectedly.
Because the development of things has its own inherent laws, and it is not possible to do what you want.
On some occasions, once you are there, it is up to you what will happen next.
The so-called times create heroes, which is what we are talking about at this time.
Qiao Ruoshan really said what he said, and soon sent two people out to find his lost brothers.
At this time, the shopkeeper had already taken out the horses stored here according to Xiong Chu's instructions.
The flame lion has already saddled his horse, and on the saddle bridge hangs Xiong Chu's eighty-one pound gold-dipped furnace gun.
If you want to talk about this gun, it was blackmailed by Prince Xiong from Zhu Changxun, the Fuwang of Luoyang, and it has not played a role until now.
Prince Xiong specified that he wanted this spear at that time, but he heard very early on that in the hands of the prince surnamed Zhu, there was a treasure gun given by Zhu Yuanzhang of the Taizu royal family, which was also their heirloom.
Emperor Taizu is the founder of the world immediately, as for the wise and martial arts, let's not talk about it for the time being. The weapons he gave were all divine weapons that could cross the battlefield.
Emperor Taizu's meaning is very clear, that is, he wants his descendants to suppress the Quartet instead of the imperial court, which is definitely not an ordinary ornament.
The gold-dipped furnace gun in the hands of Zhu Changxun, the Fu King of Luoyang, is a spear specially customized by Emperor Taizu to commemorate the exploits of the general Chang Yuchun, and was given to the king of Luoyang, the gateway to the Central Plains.
In line with the principle of not wanting nothing in vain, Xiong Chu didn't care how distressed Zhu Changxun was, and finally forcibly took him away.
Because at that time, he considered that he was going to enter the barracks to assassinate Yang Zhenwei, and Xiong Chu was worried that he would alarm the soldiers in the barracks and cause a big battle, so he brought out his spear, but he didn't use it later.
Now that the Tartar soldiers have called, Prince Xiong thinks that today is a good day to break the fast, so he is anxious and has an inexplicable excitement at the same time.
Stepping on the flame lion and taking off the gold-dipped furnace gun, Prince Xiong shouted: "Master Qiaozhai, you lead the brothers to follow, I'll go over to see the situation first." Drive-"
The speed of the Flame Lion was faster than that of the Hulei Leopard, and this time it sprinted with all its strength, like a line of fire shooting straight at Ximen.
Qiao Ruoshan was right, Xiong Chu came all the way at a gallop, and the people on the street were indeed panicked, and the flow of people obviously flowed in the direction of the east gate and the south gate.
"Could it be that the common people here have no confidence in the officers and soldiers at all, and when they hear that the Tartar soldiers are coming, the first thing they think of is to flee for their lives?"
Xiong Chu looked at the panicked scene in front of him, and couldn't tell what it was like.
As the saying goes: a thousand days at home are good, but it is difficult to go out for a while.
I haven't heard of the battle outside yet, but the people inside the city are scattered.
What made Xiong Chu puzzled was where the parents of Shuozhou City went, and why didn't they come out to appease the people?
What can these little people do if they flee the city with their families and mouths?
Xiong Chu's heart was tumbling with all kinds of thoughts, but he didn't expect that the Flame Lion had already rushed down the street to the vicinity of the city gate cave, but suddenly a loud shout startled him.
"Who is storming the city gates? Stop!"
Xiong Chu looked up and saw that the city gate was not closed, but there were more than a dozen soldiers on both sides.
"Ladies and gentlemen, you have worked hard!" Xiong Chu said, holding his gun, "My family is fighting the Tartars outside, so I'm going out to have a look." ”
The leader was probably a ten-captain who came over with an ash pole and a red tasseled spear in his hand, probably wanting to step forward and continue the questioning.
Where did the bear prince have time to rub here, and took advantage of the ten-captain to get out of the way of the middle of the road, and knocked his heels on the horse's belly.
The difference between BMW and ordinary war horses is finally shown at this moment.
The Flame Lion suddenly exerted its strength and jumped out directly from its static state, as if a hurricane swept out of the city gate hole.
Rushing out for more than five miles in one go, Xiong Chu finally saw the battlefield.
In fact, it can't really be said to be a big battlefield, because the two sides together have less than a thousand people.
The bear prince restrained the flame lion and looked at it, and the formation of the two sides was clear at a glance.
Near his side was a phalanx of five hundred infantry. The outermost part was a half-man-high shield, with the spear sticking out from the back, and the archer hid behind the shield and held out his bow and arrow. This was a formation to prevent the enemy's cavalry from charging.
There were five war horses in front of the phalanx, and the five men on horseback were all carrying waist swords, and there were spears on the saddle bridge, which seemed to be the commander of the army.
On the opposite side was a small phalanx of about 300 men, but all of them were Tartar cavalry, and they could be seen clearly from the hats on their heads. The row of more than a dozen people in front was all maces, and the large troops behind were full moon scimitars.
What made Xiong Chu wonder was that neither the enemy nor the enemy had raised flags, nor did they sound in unison, and there was no sound at all, not like the storyteller in the restaurant said.
On the north side of the official road, closer to the Ming official army more than a hundred steps, there was also a group of people. They all had horses, but instead of riding on horseback, they stood to the left of the horse's head with the reins.
Xiong Chu has already seen clearly, these people are the people he is worried about, Lan'er and Yan Erniang.
The two camps were about three hundred paces apart, and there were two war horses circling back and forth in the middle, and two people on horseback were stirring in one place.
In fact, as soon as Xiong Chu rushed through the city gate cave, he had already seen that among the two people who were competing on the middle field, one of them was his son Xiong Kaishan.
The reason why Xiong Chu was not in a hurry was because a three-strand flame fork in Xiong Kaishan's hand flew up and down, and although his opponent's mace was powerful, it was obvious that he only had the ability to parry.
For Xiong Kaishan's three-strand flame fork, Xiong Chu knows the roots.
After opening the blade on both sides, it is actually a trident, so the moves against the enemy become very complicated. Whether it is sweeping, slashing, stabbing, hooking, or shoveling, it is enough to cut the enemy in two.
Xiong Chu calmly observed the shape of the enemy and me in the back, and Qiao Rushan had already rushed behind him with fourteen brothers: "Hero, how is the situation?"
"It's hard to talk too much in the city, but now it's fine. Xiong Chu stretched out his hand and pointed at Lan'er's direction: "Don't call me a hero, I'm Bishan Hachiro." My men are over there, and now I'm going to go over and join them. ”
Qiao Rushan snorted: "It turns out that you are the master of the sword-throated sword and eight langs, it is really like thunder! The sword slashes the flower thief and the moon is shadowless, and the horse single-handedly kills the prison of Jinyiwei to save the confidante and go away, forcing the master of the Shaolin Temple Discipline Academy to sit on the spot, these earth-shattering achievements, our Jinzhong martial arts have long been spread!"
Hearing this kind of deformed record, Prince Xiong really couldn't cry or laugh, and hurriedly waved his hand: "Okay, okay, don't believe the rumors in the rivers and lakes, many things are not what you heard." ”
In the blink of an eye, there was a sudden roar from Xiong Kaishan, followed by a burst of scolding.
Xiong Chu looked at it and knew that the situation on the battlefield had changed dramatically. I734
