Wu Songhan continued: "At the same time, we need to ask General Li to send the navy to the waters near Longweizhou to prevent accidents. The defense in the north of Yingzhou is still in charge of the third compartment, and the Dongcheng area needs to ask General Zhang. The Royal Forest Army is responsible for taking over the defense, and General Li's navy is guarding the west gate. Two generals, do you think it is feasible?"
Li Zengbo and Zhang Shijie said: "Of course, we can retreat immediately after one attack. There is not much risk to our army. There are no Mongolian troops around Yingzhou City, so it will be fine."
Wang Anjie smiled and said: "Okay, Wang will immediately report the action plan to the Military Council. General Wu, you summon the commanders of the 17th and 19th armies, Zhao Wenyi and Fan Xing, and the commanders of each battalion to arrange a specific action plan."
"Yes, General, I will take my leave first,"
"Well," Wang An said after seeing Wu Songhan off, "General Li, General Zhang, it's lunch time now. Wang prepared a small banquet. The three of us were destined to gather in Yingzhou, but we never met. Haosheng said, since I have this opportunity today, Wang will do his best to treat you two as a landlord, and treat you two to a simple meal."
"General Wang invited me, but Li dared not to obey," Li Zengbo said with a smile.
Zhang Shijie also said: "It is better to obey orders than to be respectful."
Although Wang Anjie was only the deputy envoy of the Lin'an Military Region, and his official rank was still under Li Zengbo, Li Zengbo and Zhang Shijie both respected their father, General Wang Jian, so they had to give him the honor of having a simple meal.
In the evening of that day, Wu Songhan, commander of the third wing of the Lin'an Military Region, personally led five thousand cavalry from Dongda Camp outside Yingzhou City. Taking advantage of the darkness, he went straight north. In the early morning of the next day, he arrived ten miles away from Longweizhou. In this place, Wu Songhan ordered all the soldiers to dismount and rest, and sent several scouts to Longweizhou to inquire about the news.
Not long after, these scouts all came back and said that the Mongols seemed to be gathering in their camp. The scouts did not dare to get too close. They did not know whether the Mongolian soldiers were preparing to break camp and return or go to other places.
Zhao Wenyi, commander of the 17th Army, said: "General, give the order,"
"Okay, according to the original plan, General Zhao, your 17th Army will take the lead in attacking, General Fan, and the 19th Army will outflank you. You two, remember, if there are changes, don't be reluctant to fight."
"Yes, General, I will understand,"
Wu Songhan mounted his horse and whispered: "Let's go."
Under the command of Wu Songhan, the five thousand Song cavalry troops mounted their horses and galloped towards Longweizhou. Although there were only a thousand Mongolian soldiers in the enemy camp, for this Song Dynasty cavalry, It was the first time for most people to fight the Mongols in the wild. They were excited and nervous, but more importantly, they were eager to win.
Although most of the soldiers in Lin'an Military Region are from the original Forbidden Army, their combat effectiveness is completely different. It can be seen from the faces of the soldiers that they are not afraid of fighting with the Mongolian cavalry in the field.
In the Mongolian tent in Longweizhou, Deputy General Hu Zhe said: "General, why did General Han order us to retreat last night?"
The chief of thousands of households said: "The Imperial Forest Army of the Southern Dynasty is stationed in Yingzhou City, and there is a troop of troops from the Lin'an Military Region of the Southern Dynasty stationed outside the city. The thousand cavalry troops like us cannot get close to the gate of Yingzhou City, so we can't try. What are the weapons of the Royal Forest Army, Hu Zhe, the soldiers are all ready,"
"Return to the general, the assembly has been completed,"
"Okay, give the order and return to Lumen Mountain Base Camp,"
In Suodu, Hu Zhe had just left his tent when he heard a messenger coming to report: "General Suodu, a large number of Southern Dynasty cavalry have appeared three miles south."
"How many,"
"About two or three thousand,"
"Really, the Southern Dynasty cavalry is really brave. With only two to three thousand people, they dare to fight with our army in the field," Suo Du smiled and ordered, "General Hu Zhe, order all the soldiers to turn their horses and prepare to meet the enemy. I didn’t expect that we would be able to accomplish something when we left,”
A thousand Mongolian cavalry lined up neatly in front of their temporary camp. Suo in the front immediately raised their guns and said to Wu Songhan who stopped thirty meters away: "Come on, general name, your grandpa Suo will be shot." Don’t kill unknown people,”
Wu Songhan stepped forward single-handedly and sneered: "I'm a kid, listen up. Your grandfather is the commander of the third wing of the Lin'an Military Region of the Song Dynasty. Wu Songhan is the commander of the third wing of the Lin'an Military Region of the Song Dynasty. You are going to invade our country. This is Longweizhou." This is your burial place,"
Suo Du laughed loudly: "General Wu, I see that you are also a good man. How can you be so ignorant of current affairs? If you hide within the city wall, our army will still have to work hard to attack the city. How can you be in this open place?" The enemy of my cavalry,"
"Ignorant boy," Wu Songhan said as he took out his bow and arrow, "Soudu, aren't your Mongolian cavalry known as cavalry archers? Do you dare to compete with your Lord Wu?"
"Arrow comparison,"
"Exactly, why don't you dare,"
Suodu turned around and said: "Hu Zhe, did you hear that these Nanbarbarians are talking about an arrow competition? You go and learn General Wu's archery skills."
"Get the order,"
Hu Zhe was proficient in archery, and was one of the best in Arakhan's vanguard camp, and even among the top ten in the entire middle army. Hu Zhe immediately stepped forward and said: "Nanman, how do you want to compare?"
Wu Songhan said: "You and I each shoot three arrows. Hu Zhe, your Lord Wu asked you to shoot first."
"How can I, a Mongolian man, take advantage of you? We will decide the outcome with three arrows, but there is no need to decide who comes first and who comes last."
"Okay, Hu Zhe, what I said to you is worthy of my action, come on,"
Hu Zhe held the horn bow tightly in his left hand, took out an arrow from the quiver with his right hand, put it on the bow string, and easily pulled the bow string to the full moon. In the eyes of others, Hu Zhe's movements were very simple and ordinary, but to Wu Song From the perspective of an expert like Han, at this moment, Hu Zhe, including his men and horses, had vaguely displayed an aura as stable as Mount Tai. Wu Songhan secretly praised, "Well, you can see from this posture that Hu Zhe is here." He is very accomplished in archery,"
Wu Songhan did not dare to neglect. He held the Cloud-Piercing Bow straight in his hand, put an arrow on the string with his right hand, and looked at the opponent with a cold look.
In front of the formation of the two armies, both of them were very calm, as if all the soldiers around them did not exist, and the soldiers on both sides remained silent and only focused their gazes on the scene.
"Hu Zhe, catch my arrow first," Wu Songhan shouted.
Hu Zhe, who was in front of the Mongolian formation, did not answer. He released his right hand and shot out a feather arrow at a very fast speed. Wu Songhan's arrow was also very fast. In an instant, the two feather arrows collided in the air, and then both fell. On the ground.
"Okay," the Song and Meng soldiers who were watching the battle couldn't help but shout together, cheering for their own archers.
"General Wu, you are good at archery," Hu Zhe said, not looking down upon him. "It's disrespectful to come back and not go back. Look at my arrows."
Hu Zhe slightly shifted his horse's body and shot the second arrow.
Wu Songhan sat firmly on the horse and did not shoot his second arrow, but watched the opponent's arrow fly towards him.
The officers and soldiers of the Song Army who were watching the battle all knew that Wu Songhan was known as the God of Arrows. Someone with good intentions changed the widely circulated saying among the Song Army: "Gun Zhao Dao Lu" to "Gun Zhao Dao Lu Arrow Wu". Of course, this statement was only limited to Lin'an. In the third compartment of the military area, at this moment, although Hu Zhe's feather arrows were seen, there was no panic. On the contrary, many Mongolian soldiers screamed. Mongolians admire warriors and are good at riding and shooting. Seeing Wu After Songhan's first arrow, he was also impressed. At this moment, seeing that Hu Zhe's arrow was about to hit the opponent, he also became worried for Wu Songhan.
Just when Hu Zhe's arrow was only two palms away from Wu Songhan's throat, Wu Songhan moved. He turned his right hand and caught the opponent's feather arrow in his hand. At the same time, this The opponent's feather arrow was caught on the string of the Cloud-Piercing Bow in an instant. This continuous movement did not pause at all, and was shot in the opposite direction towards Hu Zhe.
Compared with Hu Zhe, Wu Songhan's archery skills were already superior. At this time, he deliberately showed off in front of the formation, so he caught Hu Zhe's arrow with his hand and shot it back. You must know that Hu Zhe's arrow is extremely powerful. It's so big that ordinary people wouldn't dare to grab it with their hands, but Wu Songhan has another advantage, that is, he possesses martial arts. The martial arts of the Wu family, one of the three major martial arts families, is extraordinary and far beyond the comparison of ordinary soldiers.
This action seemed simple, but it surprised the Mongolian horse archers. They knew that the power of the horn bow in Hu Zhe's hand was enough to shoot through two layers of ordinary armor. This shows how powerful the arrows he shot were, and the opponent's A Han general was able to capture it with just one hand.
Hu Zhe was also shocked. When he saw Wu Songhan reacting like this, he knew that his abilities were slightly lacking, but he couldn't lose face in front of the battle. He had to worry about it and reached out to grab the feather arrow. When Hu Zhe grabbed it with his right hand, he was shocked. When Wu Songhan shot back the feathered arrow, it can be imagined that it immediately shocked Huzhe so much that the blood in his body boiled, and even the mount under his crotch had to take two steps back.
"Okay," Hu Zhe, although his face was pale, was extremely strong. He gritted his teeth and laughed loudly. "There is one last arrow." After that, he placed the second feather arrow he shot on the horn of the bull again. On the string of the bow, although Huzhe's words were still firm, he knew that he was no longer able to pull the horn string in his hand into a full moon.
Wu Songhan took out his second feathered arrow from the quiver: "General Hu Zhe, you are an opponent worthy of Wu's respect. If it is not a dispute between the two countries, maybe we can compare and discuss often,"
"Gossip Xiu said, come on,"
Wu Songhan sighed, relaxed his right hand, and flew an arrow as fast as lightning towards Hu Zhe. In just a blink of an eye, Hu Zhe on the opposite side had already been hit by the arrow and fell off his horse. At the same time, Zhao Wenyi led the 17th The soldiers of the army had already rushed out. When Wu Songhan shot the feather arrow, he ordered: "Charge,"
Suo Du's heart trembled, but he said without hesitation: "All soldiers, charge forward, kill all the Nanman, and avenge Hu Zhe."
"Go ahead,"
"Kill,"
Qianhu Suo all took the lead and were the first to rush into the formation of the 17th Army of the Lin'an Military Region. However, seeing the long spears in his hands stabbing and sweeping, the soldiers of the Song Dynasty who were approaching had no enemy and fell off their horses one after another.
When the military commander Zhao Wenyi saw this, he was immediately furious. He stepped forward on his horse and blocked Suodu with a long stick in his palm.
