Song Dynasty

Chapter 229 The Red Flag Sweeps the West Wind ([-])

The banner behind him has been torn to pieces by the flying arrows.

Li Hong's mouth was dry, and every time he swallowed his saliva, he could taste the bitter smell of blood, and his eyes were full of red and black.

The black ones are the intertwined figures of the two sides in the fierce battle. The soldiers of the right school and the raiding troops of this Sizhou army have been completely mixed together, and they can no longer be distinguished from each other.They all shouted loudly, and smashed the weapons in their hands at the enemy fiercely. When the weapons broke, they took off their helmets and beat down desperately.They even simply used their fists and teeth to hug each other and roll down the hillside.

The red one is hot human blood.A lot of blood just flowed down.The loose ground has been completely drenched with blood, and when a person steps on it, there is a clacking sound, which is ankle deep.In a short while, the hillside was trampled into a rotten vegetable field, slipping three times in one step.

Yes, the enemy's forces are at a disadvantage, but they carry a ruthless spirit.It's like a coil of spring, which is easily compressed by force.However, as long as you take a breath of relief, they will rebound instantly and bite you hard.

In a trance, Li Hong recalled the situation when he was fighting the Jurchens in the left behind division in Tokyo.Once, he commanded 2000 troops to surround about 200 Tartars in a village and beat them for a day, but they couldn't survive.When it was dark, the Jurchen rushed out in one breath.In that battle, I paid the price of more than [-] lives, and the morale of the troops almost collapsed.At the end of the fight, no matter how I ordered, my subordinates refused to charge again.

The current situation is so similar to that time, although the strength of his own troops is several times that of this Sizhou army, and he occupies a favorable location.However, the enemies still came endlessly without fear of their lives.

They held up their shields and held high the red flag and rushed forward regardless of their lives. It was simply desperate.

There are people everywhere, and the entire hillside has been covered by human bodies, and they are squirming slightly, as if they have come to life.

The soldiers under him were already frightened, and their footsteps began to hesitate, and some even turned their heads to look for escape routes.

There are less than [-] golden people, and they are invincible.

The Sizhou army is also less than [-] people, and they are inferior in size and strength compared to the Jurchens.But the spirit of not fearing death and the murderous aura are not much inferior.

Perhaps, in a few more years, there will be no army in this world that can confront Wang Daosi head-on.

In an instant, Li Hong had the idea of ​​withdrawing the troops to catch his breath.

Anyway, brother Zhang Yong has a lot of soldiers, the right school has no strength to charge cavalry, and the enemy below is not much better.If another fresh force comes up, they may be able to fight them back.

However, immediately, Li Hong felt that his idea was so ridiculous.

On the other side of the main battlefield, the main infantry of the Sizhou Army has broken through several formations, and is about to crush Zhang Yong's Changhong formation.If it weren't for the large number of people, Changhong Formation would have been completely destroyed by others.

Now, both sides are in a stalemate, it depends on who can persist.Persevere, and you will be able to win a hearty victory.

The most terrible thing is that Wang Daosi's cavalry has not yet dispatched.They are probably waiting for my right school to collapse, to be kicked out of a channel and then detoured to Zhang Yong's Chinese army!
If I retreat, the cunning Wang Shen will never let go of this opportunity at the moment of transition from offense to defense.As long as his cavalry charge up, who can resist?

Besides, Zhang Yong truly trusted me, Li Hong.

After I lost all my troops, Brother Zhang not only didn't make trouble, but instead entrusted me with a heavy responsibility.First let me lead the former army to resist the frontal attack of the Sizhou army at the top of the formation.Seeing that the right school was in danger, he asked me to come over to maintain it.

He really treats me like a brother!

The so-called, a scholar dies for his confidant.Well, today I will use this life to repay his kindness!

"Counterattack, everyone is involved in the counterattack, and drive the Sizhou people out!"

He was about to order the supervising team to kill a few more people to stand up.

Suddenly, there was a shout in front, and all the soldiers desperately dropped their weapons and fled back.

There are too many people, it is really a defeat like a mountain.Not only could the supervising team fail to restrain them, but they were thrown back and forth by the rout.

"What's going on..." Li Hong looked intently, but saw a red flag raised high.Under the red flag, a senior officer of the Sizhou Army is taking the lead, leading all his subordinates to fight upwards desperately.

The mace in his hand didn't have any tricks, so he just picked it up and smashed it forward.Every time it falls, it brings up a cloud of blood mist.

It's him.

It was the enemy general who he hadn't shot dead with an arrow earlier.

Li Hong drew out his bow with a shout, rounded it, and shot another arrow.

However, a figure rushed forward, blocked the enemy general, and then fell down softly.

Then there was another arrow, and then another guard took the shot for the enemy general.

The third arrow is still the same.

"Kill the thieves, kill the thieves!" Seeing that the three guards died so horribly, the soldiers of the Sizhou Army shouted in grief and indignation at the same time, and the loud shouts echoed in the field.

Li Hong's hands trembled, and at the moment when the three arrows were shot, the enemy general's feet had already reached the highest point of the hillside.

With a sweep of the mace, one of Zhang Yongjun's soldiers was beaten to the ground.

But at the same time, he was also stabbed twice in the waist, and blood was scattered everywhere with his steps.

But he still waved his heavy weapon vigorously, and continued to shout: "Sizhou Army, Sizhou Army—"

"No. [-] in the world!"

……

When have I seen such a life-and-death enemy.

A cold current rose from the bottom of his heart, making Li Hong's body full of goosebumps.

"What a warrior, I'm going to lose!"

"However, even if you want to lose, you can't retreat. Otherwise, what face do I, Li Hong, have to meet the boss?"

"Come on, let me give you a treat. Or, you give me a treat!"

Immediately, Li Hong gathered more than 100 daredevils who supervised the battle team, formed a square formation, and headed towards Wu Constitution.

……

Yellow birch bows, long-tip bows, short-tip bows, and god-arm bows, the humming of bowstrings is all around my ears.

Arrows rain down, regardless of enemy or friend.

The soldiers in the front row on both sides fell to the ground in an instant, before they even had time to groan.No one looked at them that much, and they all stepped forward on the bodies of their companions.

After the divine arm crossbow shooter fired, he threw the crossbow at the same time and drew his knife forward.The archer was still shooting the arrows in the bag forward with his fastest speed.

The distance between the two sides is no more than twenty or thirty steps, and some places are still mixed with each other and can't be distinguished clearly.However, at this time, the shooters on both sides didn't bother to score.Everyone is wearing armor of various colors. These armors are the standard equipment of the Song Dynasty army before Jingkang. After so many years of bloody battles, it has been repaired countless times.However, it is still thick and solid.

In a long-range attack, the rain of arrows will not cause much damage.However, just because it was too close, once hit by an arrow, he still lost his strength instantly.

The soldiers in the front row on both sides fell like a lightning strike, one piece, and then another piece.

In this way, the soldiers on both sides gritted their teeth and endured, slowly approaching.

"Boom!" The last strength of the two armies finally collided, and the spears and sticks fell at the same time.

Li Hong roared, and the flail hit an enemy's face, and there was a crisp sound, which was the sound of the enemy's skull breaking.He didn't know how many notes he had drawn out, and his callused palms were burning and painful.There may have been a blister, but who cares now?
Suddenly, an enemy stretched out his hand, grabbed the flail, rolled on the spot, and snatched the weapon from his hand.Of course, in such an extremely chaotic battlefield, once one falls to the ground, there is no chance to stand up again.

Cruel, this is no longer human!

Li Hong was furious, grabbed a long-handled big knife, and chopped it down with all his strength.He cut a Sizhou army soldier who was rushing up obliquely in two with his men and shoulders.Hot blood rushed up into the sky like a spring, drenching the iron armor of the people below with red blood beads rolling.Another soldier of the Sizhou Army shot out, but behind Li Hong, a daredevil threw the chain hammer over with a cry and hit him in the face.

The Sizhou army commander and shooter fainted immediately.

Li Hong's face was covered with the enemy's blood, some had dried into black spots, and some were still dripping down, drawing red lines on his face.This made him look particularly ferocious: "I am Li Hong, the commander of the Tokyo Remaining Division, Li Hong, a hero trained by Grandpa Zong. As long as Li is alive, no one can break into my army. Unless, Stepping on Grandpa's corpse."

Although they are already rogues, even though the opposite is the officers and soldiers of the Song Dynasty.Li Hong is still proud of being a warrior under the command of Zong Ze and Lord Ru Lin.

That was the happiest time of my life.

After saying this, he spit out a mouthful of bloody saliva, and shouted with all his strength: "Who is the general leading the army on the opposite side, dare to fight me face to face?"

Over there, Wu Xianxian also yelled, and bumped the guards protecting him aside with his shoulder: "Get out of the way, get out of the way, Li Hong belongs to grandpa, no one is allowed to snatch it! Zhiniang thief, see my Sizhou army as useless!" People! Li Hong, Sizhou Shengjie Army Commander Wu Constitution will fight with you. Today, you and I will not die!"

……

In the back, under the banner of the Sizhou Army Zhongjun, everyone raised their heads and looked into the distance.

The entire battlefield is full of people, and blood is rushing everywhere.

The magnificence of the cold war and the men's high-spirited blood are overwhelming and overwhelming, making people unable to breathe.

Li Heng's face was still pale. Although he had experience in leading troops, he had never seen such a battle before.

Such a battlefield is already on the scale of a national war.The two armies of the enemy and us in front of us, one is the elite of the former Tokyo left-behind division, and the other is the Sizhou army, which has been the bravest and most combative in the past year.After all, they are all or were the main force of our Great Song Dynasty.

My Great Song army can still fight, but... since Xuanhe, why have they lost so badly in all previous foreign wars?
What is the problem?
