Song Dynasty

Chapter 126 Tiger One

After several consecutive days of great sun, the water in the Ba River receded.It is strange to say that the wet weather in the past has suddenly become dry. It only takes half an hour to stand on the field, and the lips will be dry enough to form a shell.And the swarthy field in the past has also turned yellow today.

When the wind blows, dust is raised high.

"It's really open!" Sitting on the horse, with the flying military flag behind him, Kong Yanzhou squinted his eyes and looked westward.In a trance, it seems that I have returned to the Central Plains of Lianghe, and returned to the high and wide Northland that day.

This feeling made him very comfortable, and it was a good time for a decisive battle with the Sizhou Army.

At this moment, the morning sun was rising, and the commander of this 3-horse army was covered in iron armor, holding a big gun tightly in his hand, which made his body look extremely tall and mighty.

However, as long as it is not against the light, you can still see a trace of fatigue in his triangular eyes, with a strong luster flickering inside, making him look extremely ferocious and vicious.

In the past few days, we have rectified our troops and horses to prepare for war, and the military affairs are really busy.Whenever he was exhausted, he needed to use sex to calm himself down as soon as possible.Just last night, he was actually the fourth daughter of Ye Yu.Before the army set off, he even went to the room of his beloved concubine.It's strange to say, but now his heart is restless.

Wang Shen's thief, it's really abominable, he even blocked Kong's way to Ezhou from the west, and let me take the place of half a month in this poor mountain and bad water, and now he is provocative and wants to marry Lao Tzu's daughter, which is tolerable, but unbearable.

Yes, there are too many troops, and Qizhou is too small and too poor to support so many troops.

Since Huaixi retreated here, in this period of time, all the food that should be robbed has been robbed, and all the strong men that should be pulled have been plundered. The food and fodder in the barracks is only enough for [-] days. If I can't take down Wang Shen, I, Kong Yanzhou, really have nowhere to go.

Fortunately, the rain finally stopped, the water receded, and troops could finally be dispatched.

The man surnamed Wang probably also knew that there was no danger to defend, so he finally took the initiative to attack.That's good, but it will save me from making a trip in person.

Must win, must win.

In the midst of being disturbed, a general beside him carefully asked: "Master, the last general has something to ask."

It was Liu Fu, the number one general under Kong Yanzhou who spoke, and he had a look of worry at the moment.

Kong Yanzhou sternly reprimanded: "Ask, ask me, what time is it now, I have something to say after this battle is over."

"Yes, Master..." Liu Fu replied, "But..."

"But what, so wordy?" Kong Yanzhou was annoyed, and stared at him fiercely.

Liu Fu murmured: "Master, according to the rules of our army, we have to offer rewards before every battle. How can we motivate the morale and make the whole army use their lives? It has been like this for so many years, why didn't the commander say anything today. Next The soldiers are all asking, your old man should give me a word anyway!" Seeing Kong Yanzhou's eyes became more and more fierce, but he was timid and couldn't help shrinking his neck.

With a sound of "pa", Kong Yanzhou's whip hit his face, and the blood immediately smeared down.

Kong Yanzhou scolded sharply: "What a fool, what do you want to do? How many people are Wang Shencai, five thousand. How many are we? Thirty thousand. Thirty thousand against five thousand, what kind of battle is it? One stick of incense will kill him It was solved. Still thinking about asking for money, straight to your mother, if you don’t have money, you won’t fight?”

"No... no... army... ah!"

Kong Yanzhou whipped him again, and now Liu Fu was prepared, he subconsciously raised his hand, and the back of his right hand was numb in an instant.

Kong Yanzhou sneered loudly: "I want money, I want money, I only know that I want money. Even if you want to give rewards, it's not your turn to speak. Liu, you stand up for the soldiers today, what exactly do you want to do, buy people's hearts? what!"

As he said that, he ignored Liu Fu, who looked depressed and terrified, and said loudly: "If you want a reward, that's fine. When you win the battle with Wang, you can get it yourself. I don't have any money. I really think that's the one with the surname." Who is the king, hehe, I came to Qizhou, and took over the land of the next state. If it weren’t for the flood in the Ba River, I would have wrung off Wang Shen’s dog’s head. The surname Wang is already a frightened bird. He brought troops here today in a desperate struggle, and he was easily wiped out, so why do you want money?"

"Yes yes yes, the last general is dull, and the last general is as timid as a mouse." Liu Fu put his hands on the wound on his face and tried hard to bear it.

Kong Xian: "Father, let the enemy be lenient. My son heard that Wang Daosi had beaten Khitan and Jurchen, and he beheaded Ba Lisu in the chaos. Bring twenty cavalrymen to Qichun alone, and shoot and kill six soldiers of our army in one go, it is really powerful, it is better to be careful. Otherwise, father, you can give the soldiers some promises first, so as to boost their morale."

As he spoke, he looked up and looked around.

I saw that 3 horses formed three large square formations in the front, middle and rear in the wilderness in front.In the middle is the battle line, which is the main force of the troops.Finally, there is the back line, the general reserve team of the Kong family army.Like the forward line, both the central and rear armies have archers in front, swordsmen and spearmen in the back, which can be regarded as a standard western army formation.

And he is located on a small high ground in the center of the Central Army Gai.

The regularization of the Kong Yanzhou army was after he joined the Tokyo Left Behind Division. The Song Army paid attention to fighting after the formation, and had a stubborn superstition about the formation.

It has to be said that the 3 people lined up neatly, and when it was a large area of ​​darkness, it looked extremely strict.

However, the morale of the troops does not seem to be very good.

Under the blue sky, the battle robes and armor on their bodies are very eye-catching.Seen from behind, the soldiers were all yellow and thin, their bodies were dirty and smelly, and they didn't even take care of the stubble on their shaved scalps.

In fact, there is no other way. The Jin people entered the Jianghuai River in two ways, and the Kong family army fled southward in the starry night. It can be said that they lost all their belongings.He burned less all the way, and barely survived by robbery.Although Qizhou is large, it is all mountainous and extremely poor.It is not bad for the troops to have two meals a day, not to mention nutrition.

If this goes on like this, if Wang Shen cannot be taken down, everyone will starve after a while.

Seeing Kong Xian's words, the soldiers around the banner of the Chinese Army became agitated and murmured in a low voice: "Yes, the military leader will also say, give some, everyone is suffering."

"There is no reward for this, I'm afraid the battle is not easy to fight."

"Wang Daosi is too powerful. Although he has few horses, this battle may not be so easy."

"Yes, yes, there should be a fierce battle. If you don't give enough rewards, the general will be afraid that the soldiers will not be able to withstand it."

"The Major General is right!"

Thinking of Wang Shen's past achievements, and the ability he displayed when he came to show off his force with twenty riders, everyone was a little flustered.

……

"Little bastard, whether your surname is Kong or Wang, it's this time, and you're still here to disturb our army!" Kong Yanzhou was furious, and he raised his big gun and was about to draw it down.

At this moment, two scouts galloped over: "My lord, the Sizhou army has already crossed the Ba River and is rushing towards our army. The distance is ten miles."

Kong Yanzhou didn't care about beating his son: "Continue to investigate, the generals of each army, go down and control the troops immediately."

"Yes!" All the officers under Shuai's banner rode back to the formation.

……

"My lord, the Sizhou army is six miles away from me."

……

"The enemy is four miles away from me."

Already, a large cloud of smoke and dust could be seen, followed by rushing and orderly footsteps.

Kong Yanzhou wondered: "Didn't you say that the men surnamed Wang only have 5000 men? Why are they so loud? Give me an order to put the soldiers in armor."

"Yes!"

"Put on armor, put on armor!" The shouts of the officers echoed in the field.

Amidst the rumbling, 3 horses stood up at the same time, helping each other put on their armor.The armor of the Song army is heavy, and it is impossible to wear it all the time, otherwise this malnourished army will definitely die from exhaustion.During the march, all armors had to be taken off and put in armor buns to be carried on the body or on the vehicle, and today is no exception.

For a while, the Kong family army was densely packed, and they spread out on the plain for a radius of two miles, densely packed like busy ants.

It has to be said that Kong Yanzhou's troops were Zong Ze's direct descendants after all, and they were still very capable of fighting.In a short while, the rectification was completed, and the silence was restored.

"The enemy is two miles away from me!"

The smoke and dust were even bigger, the ground was shaking slightly, and there were bangs that seemed to hit people's hearts one after another.

"Cavalry!" In an instant, this idea came to everyone's mind: "Yes, only cavalry can have such power...Damn it, Wang Shen has cavalry!"

After the national humiliation of Jingkang, the Jurchens crossed the Yellow River and attacked Henan once again. Fortunately, under the command of Zongze, they successfully drove the Jin army across the Yellow River.However, everyone has seen the power of the cavalry in that battle.

Hearing the movement in the distance at this moment, Wang Shen must have a lot of cavalry.

Thinking of the cavalry group's charge, everyone's scalp tingles.

"Zhiniang thief, Wang has cavalry, at least thousands of cavalry." Kong Yanzhou cursed, realizing the seriousness of the problem, this battle may be really difficult to fight.He tightened his grip on the big gun, and was hesitating whether to offer a reward and distribute some of the money in the treasury to everyone.

At this moment, Kong Xian beside him suddenly shouted hoarsely: "Wang Shen, the evil tiger Wang Shen is here!"

This shrill cry not only caused commotion among the soldiers under the banner of the Chinese Army, but even Kong Yanzhou was startled by him.

Standing on the small high ground and looking around, the Sizhou Army still did not appear.

Only two people and two riders came running alone, as if they suddenly jumped out from the horizon.

I saw that at the front was a tall knight with a slender sword in his hand, a big bow on his back, and a knight wrapped in armor all over his body, calmly moving forward.

Behind him is a guard holding a red flag. In the strong wind, the red flag is fluttering, and a black tiger is flying around in circles with its teeth bared.

A ferocious air rushed towards the face, as if for a while, it was like seeing an angry beast that had just woken up.
