The Song Dynasty has been deliberate for 16 years, only to know that it is the Water Margin

Chapter 503 Fighting in the formation
The morning light is shining, the breeze is gentle, it is a sunny day.

But where the camp was, there was a faint mist rising, hazy and mysterious.

It's obviously summer and it's obviously cloudless, so where does the fog come from?

He Lian Hu Bao and his men looked towards the opposite camp with squinted eyes.

There were two generals beside him, one wearing gold armor and the other wearing iron armor. They were both tall and burly. They looked like they were good at fighting.

These two people are the leaders of the reinforcements. One is named Liu Tong and the other is named Hubalu. They are both generals of the central army.

"Where did the fog come from?" He Lian Hubao asked in confusion.

The fog now not only diffused in the camp in front, but had even spread out a lot, covering the trenches and other places outside the camp.

"I think it's the Song Army who is playing tricks. Don't take it to heart, He Liantong's army. It was a shame that they didn't break through the enemy camp yesterday. Today they will march on the Song Army's stronghold to avenge their previous shame!" Liu Tong said.

When mentioning yesterday, He Lian Hubao's face became a little confused. More than 4 people rushed to the camp, but they did not reach the enemy's camp gate for most of the day. Although there were not many casualties, only one or two thousand, it was really embarrassing. .

"Could it be that the Song army saw something bad going on and created a fog and retreated long ago?" Hubalu said naively.

"So you created the mist...and escaped?" Helian Hubao frowned upon hearing this.

It is actually not difficult to create fog. Although it is summer, it is cold in the morning and evening in the Hexi Shanyuan area. All you need to do is set up more stoves and large pots and boil water. Over time, fog will naturally form. The more pots you burn, the more fog will form. The bigger.

But did the Song army really use this to escape from Huizhou?Helian Hubao touched his beard and felt that it was not impossible!

Although the Song army defended yesterday, they must have suffered losses. They only had 5 people in total, but they dispatched nearly [-] troops on their own side. How could they really resist?
It is possible that they were forced to defend yesterday and the discussion at night was not good, so they retreated this morning. Afraid of being chased by them, they left some stove pots and smoke rising, so they set up a confusing formation and fled.

In this case……

He Lian Hubao raised his thick eyebrows and said: "Generals Liu and Hu, you each lead men and horses to attack the Song army's camp from the left and right wings. You will go from the front. If the Song army had escaped long ago, you would be in time to catch up. If not, If you run away, we will definitely wipe out their entire army today!"

Liu Tong and Hubalu applauded when they heard this. The two of them had long been impatient. No matter how powerful the Song army was and how strict the defense was, this was not a city after all, and the number of people was so different that it was almost five to one. This There is nothing to hesitate about!
The three men immediately divided their forces and began to attack the Song army camp from the front and both sides.

When they arrived in front of the first ditch, the fog had not yet dispersed. Seeing that there was no movement at the camp in the distance, Helian Hubao immediately ordered wooden planks and stakes to be built across the ditch.

After the first trench, there was a second one. The long and dense trenches gave Helian Hubao a headache. Why did the Song Army dig such fortifications?They are simply crazy. They don't look like they are here to attack Huizhou City. They clearly want to build a fortress and plan to confront Huizhou!

Fortunately, the Song army withdrew. Otherwise, although it would not pose any threat to Huizhou, it would still be very difficult. With so many fortifications, even if they could be cleared one by one, it would still take a lot of effort!
He Lian Hu Bao cursed in his heart. While urging his soldiers to clear out the fortifications more quickly, he looked at the other two armies from his horse.

Although Liu Tong and Hubalu walked on both sides, they were blocked by the trenches and were moving forward slowly.

It took more than half an hour for He Lian Hubao to lead his team closer to the camp. At this time, the fog still existed. Although it was not as dense as before, it did not dissipate.

Helian Hubao was wondering, could it be that the other party had not completely retreated?Otherwise, after such a long time, even if the water is boiled in the stove, it would have dried up, right?
He ordered people to go forward to investigate. A group of soldiers, armed with long guns, groped their way into the fog. They came back half a day later and reported: "Your Majesty, Deputy Commander-in-Chief, the camp gate is not far away, but it is closed and locked. There is no Signs of the Song Army!"

Helian Hubao pondered slightly, and after a moment he issued an order: "Break down the gate, smash the camp fence, go in and have a look!"

With the victory below, the large group of men and horses immediately started to move forward, rushing forward like wolves and jackals. In just a moment, they overturned all the wooden fences outside the camp, smashed the camp door, and then entered...

But within a quarter of an hour or so, the camp suddenly felt like a mountain was falling apart and the earth was cracking. There were sounds of killing and shouting, and the fog suddenly became bigger.

This camp is very wide, and ten thousand people can already set up a company camp, but the land within the camp can accommodate more than ten thousand people, even fifty or sixty thousand is more than enough.

Liu Tong also led his troops into the camp. He was a little anxious. The Song army's camp was unable to be attacked yesterday, which gave him some thoughts about Mi Qinzan Dao.

He and Hubalu were both members of the Xiangqing Army of the Central Army. To put it bluntly, they were subordinates of King Jin. The 5 people supported were not actually given to the Xishou Baotai Army, but still belonged to the Central Army.

When Mi Qinzandao heard about it, he immediately became unhappy. Even yesterday, when they went to battle, none of the veterans in the city were sent, but all the new troops were supported by these new troops.

According to Liu Tong's calculation, if some new soldiers were left to defend the city and all the veterans were sent out, they wouldn't have been able to fight for most of the day yesterday and they wouldn't have come down to the Song Army camp. This Mi Qinzan Dao was too selfish and they were here to support them. , actually let them all fight.

It was the same today. There were no old soldiers in the city, and they were all new troops. Liu Tong was annoyed, but due to the power of the other party, after all, the Supervisory Army Commander, the Commander-in-Chief, was a local prince. He did not dare to say anything, but he hoped in his heart. Finish the fight as soon as possible, and then leave with these troops, so as not to suffer this bad behavior here in Huizhou.

At this time, Liu Tong rushed into the Song army's camp. He saw empty tents scattered, stove pots scattered, and white steam steaming. He couldn't help but become irritated and ordered: "Speed ​​up, break through the camp, and chase the Song army!"

He now brought about ten thousand soldiers and horses, and the soldiers below immediately ran towards the front after receiving the military order.

But just a few dozen breaths later, I don't know which section of the camp I ran to, when suddenly many Song soldiers rushed out from both sides, all holding spears. They struck randomly when they came up, then turned around and ran away, disappearing without knowing it. where.

Liu Tong was suddenly confused. Didn't the Song army evacuate?
No, could it be the person who left the cover?But there were only [-] Song troops in total, so how many of them could leave cover?
Liu Tong couldn't help but became furious when he thought of this. He actually dared to twist his tiger beard and immediately ordered his soldiers to chase him.

There was heavy fog there, and we could only see the Song troops crossing in from time to time, but we couldn't catch the specific team at all.

Sometimes a group of hundreds of people came out, wielding shields and swords, and they were fierce and fierce. Sometimes a group of hundreds of spearmen came out. Sometimes a group came out with bows and arrows, shooting at random and running away.

These people shouted, fought in and out, and appeared and disappeared. The shouts, the neighing of war horses, the clanging of swords, and the sound of war drums were earth-shattering.

Liu Tong couldn't help being surprised and couldn't figure out what was going on. However, relying on the large number of people, he personally led the army to charge forward.

For a time, dust flew up in the white mist, submerging the billowing banners. Where the spears were raised, the generals fell off their horses, the swords were chopped down, flesh and blood flew everywhere, and they suddenly formed a ditch.

But those who died were almost all Xixia soldiers. These Xixia soldiers were originally new troops, and now they were like headless flies, running around and sometimes even dying without knowing how.At this moment, the Song army was like a pack of rabid dogs and ferocious beasts, biting and barking, and the Xixia army had long been in chaos.

Liu Tong couldn't help but panic when he saw this. He felt that something was wrong. There were fewer and fewer soldiers under his command. Some died in the battle, while others disappeared while walking. He didn't know whether they fell behind the team or were lost in the white mist. among.

At this moment, a small team was seen coming out of Hengqi, led by a Song general, wearing a bright red brocade war robe and a red copper chain mail armor, riding a horse that looked like charcoal, and dancing with his hands. With a sharp green dragon sword, he led the Song army on a rampage.

When Liu Tong heard the soldiers behind him screaming in pain, he ran away in all directions. When he looked back, he saw that no one of the Song generals dared to challenge him. He couldn't help but be so angry that his teeth itched, and he immediately urged his horse to fight with a yue.

He was dressed in golden armor and riding a yellow horse. When he got close, a big ax struck down, and he saw the Song general raising his sword to greet him. There was a loud noise and sparks flying around.

Liu Tong felt his arms were numb and his mouth was about to burst. Knowing this man's supernatural power, he used all his skills. This Song general also had powerful moves.

The two of them were fighting lively, and the soldiers below were also fighting together, but it was not as back-and-forth as the two of them.

The Xixia New Army is no match for the Song Army at all. The Song Army is familiar with the terrain. Not to mention drilling in and out, its combat power is several times stronger. Although there are fewer people, each group of seven can kill more than a dozen if they cooperate well. 20 people.

Liu Tong was fighting in full swing when he suddenly realized something was wrong. When he looked to the left and right, he turned his back on his horse. Seeing the number of soldiers reduced, he couldn't help but shout: "The traitor is here to die!"

When General Song saw him getting angry from embarrassment, he just smiled, showed his weakness, turned his horse and left.

Liu Tong was so angry that he gritted his teeth and hurriedly hit the horse to catch up. However, before he could run a few steps, he suddenly jumped forward. The horse screamed "suck, slip, slip" and fell directly to the ground, causing the grass and soil to splash. It turned out to be I tripped over the tripping rope.

Liu Tong fell hard from his horse. He was wearing heavy armor and was caught off guard. This time, he felt like two of his bones were broken.

Just ahead, General Song turned his horse and came back. He smiled softly and cut down with precision with the knife in his hand. Liu Tong's head was cut off...

At this moment, in another part of the camp, the same situation was happening.

Hubalu also led 1 people to charge in from the other wing, but he also encountered a sneak attack from the Song army. These Song troops also ran away after two hits. They could not catch up and were surrounded by the opponent. Go, but the number of soldiers under his command is getting smaller and smaller.

Hubalu saw that something was wrong, and hurriedly reined in the horse and turned around to count. He was shocked to find that only five or six thousand of the 1 people he had brought were left. He thought that there were not so many casualties, and the missing ones were actually all He disappeared within this camp.

Scratching his forehead, he hurriedly ordered not to move forward quickly and walked slowly outside the camp.

But the slower they walked, the more intense the harassment from the Song army became. It didn't take long before their men were in chaos. After all, they were all new troops. They could charge and kill one at a time. This kind of pulling and pulling could not stabilize the formation at all.

Hubalu hurriedly ordered the army to surround them and use bows and crossbows to block the formation. There were swords and guns and trumpets flying in the air, so that the Song army did not dare to make a sneak attack easily.

But just staying there was not an option. After a while, there were loud killing sounds in the entire camp. Hubalu listened to the sound, and one of the party members shouted the loudest, so he couldn't help but say: "Go over there!"

After he gave the order, he naturally took the lead and left. The soldiers in the rear followed him and did not run many steps before the Song army came again. However, he could not care about anything else at the moment and could only rush forward. However, when he arrived at the place, he did not see a large number of Xia troops at all, and he did not know. Where did the sound come from just now?

Hubalu was filled with surprise and uncertainty. He looked back and saw that the number of troops behind him was decreasing again. He couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat and began to think about retreating.

But at this moment, there was a sudden sound of a bang, and a whistle of men and horses came out of the white mist.

The first general wears a three-pronged silver helmet, a willow-leaf silver mail, and a plain robe. He sits on a white dragon horse. He has a mole on his white face. He is tall and tall, with three strands of beard floating on his chest. He holds an eight-foot-long steel in his hand. The spear is very powerful.

Hubalu wore black oil and iron armor, his face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he held a pair of short halberds in both hands. Seeing that the other party was angry, he shouted with his beard raised upside down: "Who is the Song dog? Dare to keep attacking your home in the camp." grandfather!"

But he said that the person on the opposite side was not Yang Zhi. He was following Zhang Xian's formation and was killing on this side. Seeing that the Xixia army wanted to retreat, he showed himself.

He sat on the horse and looked at Hubalu, and saw that this man was eight feet tall, with thick eyebrows and evil eyes, a nose as thick as a gallbladder, and a greasy black face, like a fiery King Kong or a smoky Tai Sui. He held two wheels in both hands. A large iron halberd is placed across the chest.

Yang Zhi sneered: "Where did the nigger come from and dare to ask your grandfather's name? Let's see if he has a gun in his hand. If you want to ask the name, you have to pass it first. If you die from it, then ask Yama The king is well!"

This Hubalu is a Tatar with a rough temper. Although he had just thought about retreating, when he heard such arrogant words, his eyes suddenly became scarlet, like an angry lion. He immediately rode forward and waved his halberds. , shouted: "Song Gou, come here with your life!" As he said that, the two halberds shot out at the same time, heading straight for Yang Zhi's temples.

Seeing his bravery, Yang Zhi did not dare to neglect him. He turned his horse to dodge, then turned over and stabbed him diagonally from behind.

Hubalu held his arms round and raised his two halberds to meet him. There was a clanging sound and the two horses were in stirrups. Yang Zhi shouted: "Gah, how powerful!" He turned his horse and ran away.

Where can Hubalu be willing to give up?He galloped in pursuit, brandished his two halberds, and rushed down with a roar. He circled twice in front of the formation, rode the horse's head and tail, picked up the iron halberd with both hands, and with all his strength, went straight to Yang Zhi's door and smashed it. I wish I could kill him with a halberd.

Yang Zhi flicked the steel spear, and the two weapons collided again. There was a "clang", lightning and thunder, and sparks flying. The two war horses were shaken by this and took several steps back before stopping.

Hubalu rode forward again. Yang Zhi did not pretend to retreat this time. Instead, he raised his spear and slashed the dragon with one waist. Hubalu hung his two halberds sideways, and another burst of sparks flew up, with a deafening sound.

The two men fought fiercely for more than ten rounds, and the soldiers on both sides were stunned: could these two people be Zhao Yun and Dian Wei reborn?How can he be so heroic!
However, although this Hubalu was extremely powerful, it was a pity that his martial arts skills were slightly inferior, and his halberd skills gradually became a little messy.

Yang Zhi had already seen through his flaw. When he slowed down his attack and opened an opportunity, a black bear turned over and stabbed him with a steel spear diagonally. Unfortunately, Hubalu couldn't dodge well, and shot directly from Gu Xin. The gap next to the treasure mirror penetrated, and it penetrated the heart. He didn't even make a sound, and even the man and the horse fell to the ground.

"Gah!" The Xixia Army was trembling with shock when they saw this.

Over there, Yang Zhi laughed loudly: "You guys, kill these summer dogs for me!"

He had few men, but the general on the opposite side was dead, and the new army was already unable to fight. When he saw this, he turned around and ran away, but was chased by the Song army, which was far less numerous than his own. He cried for his father and mother, wailing endlessly.
