Chapter eighty-four first battle three
The severe pain made Yang Wu wake up. He jumped up and rushed towards Lin Liang without caring about the arrows that penetrated his cheeks. Lin Liang saw that the opponent's face was covered with blood, and the arrow penetrated his cheeks, looking fierce. He had already weakened three points in his heart. He swept a knife and wanted to force the opponent away, and waited for other companions to attack. However, Yang Wu did not avoid it and rushed forward. He had already entered the inner circle of the opponent. It was not the blade that hit Yang Wu's body, but the swallowing mouth that was close to the guard. Yang Wu was wearing iron armor, how could Wu Feng's swallowing mouth be cut open. Lin Liang was shocked and threw the knife and was about to escape. His right arm had been grabbed by Yang Wu. He lifted his shoulder blade and held up Lin Liang's body of more than 100 pounds. He swung two circles and slapped hard on the ground. He saw Lin Liang's head was lowered, his feet were on the top, and he bumped into the ground. He immediately dripped blood, and his hands and feet twitched twice, and he stopped moving.
At this time, more than a dozen Manichaeists had arrived to help Lin Liang. It was seen that Lin Liang was lying on the ground like a broken jar, red and white flowing out, and his hands and feet were already weak. Seeing this, Lin Liang stretched out his feet and raised the single knife on the ground and sneered: "Since you are here, why don't you come forward to fight with the master?"
A leader was brave enough to rush to sway. Yang Wu went to the side of his body to avoid the other party's slash, and slashed his ears and necks with one knife, and suddenly fell to the ground. None of the rest had ever seen such a scene. He shouted and ran away everywhere. Yang Wu jumped on the war horse, drove the horse and chased him, stabbed the gun, and killed several people in a blink of an eye. He was so angry that he broke the arrow on his cheek, pulled it out, and then tore up another piece of clothing, and rang straight into the highest flag in the enemy formation.
"Shoot the arrow, shoot the arrow quickly! Shoot that guy to death!" Chen Antian, under the banner, suddenly panicked. He never expected that the Song army, who had just been shot by a crossbow, was so fierce that he not only killed Lin Liang and several subordinates who stepped forward to cut their heads, but also rushed towards him alone. As the main vanguard, he was supposed to be in the formation, but in order to see clearly, he actually ran to the front. In addition, he was unable to move on the chariot, so even if he wanted to dodge it, it was too late.
"Shoot the arrow!"
Under the command of the team, the archers quickly bent their bows and shot at Yang Wu. At this time, they could see the true nature of the peasant army's mob. In a panic, most of them had not even pulled the bows and loose strings. Most of them used soft bows of four or five dou, and even the best one was six or seven dou. They did not pull them all. How could they shoot through Yang Wuyi's iron armor? Yang Wuyi buried his head, but he was hit by three or four arrows, but he didn't even scratch his skin.
"Idiot. People have armor on their bodies, so you won't shoot horses!" The team leader cursed when he saw this, but as the saying goes, only two shots in the battle, this is also a long-standing shooting master. Not to mention the peasant army that has only been a month old. Seeing Yang Wu and his horse rushing over, dozens of archers threw their bows and scattered them, exposing Chen Antian and the big flag.
"These bastards!" Chen Antian was already stunned at this time. He was still full of confidence and was ready to take down Xiuzhou City alone and fight to Jingkou to isolate the Yangtze River. However, he did not expect that in a blink of an eye, he ended up like this. Seeing this, a personal soldier next to him hurriedly pounced Chen Antian off Chengyu and fell to his nose and face. Before Chen Antian could recall what was going on, he heard a scream. When he looked up, the banner of "Chen" had fallen, and his ears were filled with shouts of "Defeated, defeated!"
"Hurry, please send the order for the entire army to leave the camp and pursue the bandit army!" Zhou Ping was stunned by the situation in front of the city last year. He never expected that Yang Wu would rush into the enemy formation just now and seize the banner. In ancient times, the entire army relied on the command of the main general's banner. If the banner was seized, even if the army was still there, it would lose unified command for a considerable period of time. Even if the morale strike was not considered, it would be difficult to recover the defeat. Not to mention that the new army like Fang La's army is likely to be defeated in this way.
"Here!" Several generals responded and couldn't wait to rush down the city tower. Chang Zongtian, who was beside him, whispered: "Can you send a signal to let Li and Kong attack from behind!"
"Yes, yes, send a signal!" Zhou Ping then reacted and responded in a hurry.
With the sound of rumbling drums, the village gate outside the south gate was pushed open. The first one was dozens of cavalry. As soon as they left the city gate, they expanded their formation and formed a row of horizontal lines to move forward slowly. Behind were crossbowmen, and at the end were crossbowmen. Under the cover of the cavalry, crossbowmen advanced about a hundred steps away from the peasant army and began to shoot arrows. The arrows fell on the bodies of soldiers without armor, splashing blood, and the formation of peasant army began to be in chaos.
Xue Liangyu looked back at the city. There was the place of the big flag. Seeing that there had not been a signal of impact, he turned his head impatiently. At this time, Yang Wu had already rushed out of the peasant army. In his hand was the big flag that had been taken from the peasant army. He waved the big flag a few times and threw it on the ground, driving the war horses to trample over the big flag. Xue Liangyu looked at the scene jealously and whispered: "Why isn't it me? How great would it be if I were!"
With the help of his two subordinates, Chen Antian climbed up from the ground with difficulty. Due to the ingenuity of the peasant army, as the vanguard, he had no other sign except a yellow turban, and was pushed down by his subordinates. In the chaos, Yang Wu did not find the enemy's chief general. When Yang Wu came out of the battle, he was safe and sound except for a few scratches on his body.
"Hurry up and tell the soldiers and generals of the army that are fine!" Chen Antian shouted loudly. He had commanded several times to compete for water sources in the countryside and fight in the mountains. He understood the importance of this banner and knew that the most important thing now was to restore control of the entire army. As long as he could control these ten thousand people and wait until the brigade led by Fang Qifo came, he would be the most guilty of eating a whip. If the entire army collapsed, even if he was not trampled to death by the defeated army, he would be chopped off his head by Fang Qifo.
"Master, the enemy has left the camp and shot arrows at us!"
"Just shoot it back, the bows and arrows in your hands are decorations!"
"Master, it's too far away. Our bow is soft and we can't shoot at all!"
"Then go forward and shoot back to a place that is accessible!" Chen Antian roared. Only then did he realize how far he was from a qualified general.
"Head Xue, the thief's archer has stepped forward. It seems that he is going to get close to us to shoot arrows!" A cavalry pointed at the enemy archer who was walking out of the formation. Xue Liangyu nodded. He turned around and looked at the top of the city. The flag was still not moving. He thought for a moment and said, "Let's drive those dogs back!"
"But Xuetou, the flag did not move!"
"We just drive those archers back!" Xue Liangyu said indifferently. He raised the horse rein and shouted loudly to his subordinates: "You all follow me, let's rush over from the side in a circle and cover all the thieves!"
"Here!"
More than 200 archers from the peasant army walked forward quickly. The archers of the government army opposite them had already discovered them and shot two rows of arrows at them. The first martial arts of a soldier in the Song Dynasty was that the soldiers could use multiple bows. These Western Army crossbowmen were the essence of it. Almost everyone could use strong bows of more than one stone and two dou of stone. Zhou Ping gave enough money and used three more strength than usual. With these few breathing skills, more than 30 people on the peasant army were caught in arrows and fell down. There was only one reason why they could endure it: that was to get close to those damn official troops and shoot them back with their own bows.
"Caughter!" Suddenly, a scream came from a sudden. Almost at the same time, a feather arrow shot through the throat of the unfortunate discoverer and stuffed his voice back into the airway. Xue Liangyu did not use the spear, but instead hung the spear on the saddle hook, but picked up the horn bow and shot left and right. With the sound of his bowstrings, the enemy kept crying and falling down. Since the enemy was generally not wearing armor, the distance was only thirty or forty steps at most. Xue Liangyu didn't even need to pull his horn bow over, and the power of the arrow was enough to penetrate the enemy's body. Behind him, other cavalry spontaneously slapped into a geese-wing shape and swept towards the archers of the peasant army.
Under the side attack of the official cavalry, the archers of the peasant army collapsed almost instantly. Except for the very few bravest people, most of them dropped their weapons and turned to flee in a safe direction - that is, the direction of their own military formations. However, this made them a living target for the official cavalry. Xue Liangyu did not let his subordinates completely cut off the direction of the enemy's escape. On the contrary, he deliberately left a big hole, and then followed the side and shot arrows.
"Liangyu is still impatient!" Zhou Ping smiled on the city tower. It was not difficult to hear the kind of spoiling an elder brother for his younger brother in his tone.
"You can't say that!" Chang Zongtian replied, "It's not a mistake for him to do this. He has chosen a good fighter jet. Sometimes on the battlefield, the generals cannot wait for the commander to give orders, otherwise they will miss the opportunity to fight!"
Zhou Ping asked in surprise: "If everyone is like this, how can the commander command?"
"It's easy to say if you win, but if you lose, you will naturally be willing to accept the military law!" Chang Zongtian's face looked as if he was taken for granted: "You can't win and get back and lose your head, right? That's a stupid thing that big headscarf does. The generals below are not fools, and he dare not take his life to bet on his life if he is not sure!"
"The winner should not be blamed. There is a Stalin of the Song Dynasty here!" Zhou Ping couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this. At this time, a smoke pillar rose on the other side of the river. This was a signal agreed with Li Cheng and Kong Yanzhou in advance - this means that they have detoured to the rear of the enemy and can launch an attack at any time.
