Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 219 Battle 5
The cavalry of the Song army who came rushing was Feng Yuan and the others. Because the cavalry had too big a target, they assembled and stood by four or five miles away. Once the battle started, they immediately deployed reinforcements and dealt a fatal blow to this group of Liangshan troops.

The cavalry is led by Qiu Fu himself. Feng Yuan also has prestige in the army. He served as the Zhiqi at a young age. He suggested that the cavalry be divided into two teams to support around the battlefield. .Coupled with the relationship with Wang Xiu, several team generals also attach great importance to his opinions.

Under his leadership, more than a hundred riders carried out a detour mission, and the rest, together with Jing Bo and Qiu Yun, entered the battlefield directly.

Suo Chao is not a fool, he immediately judged Wang Xiu's position when he returned to the battlefield, followed by five or six cavalry, on the south flank of Bubazi. Xiu, the others launched an attack on Bubazi, and they should cooperate with each other to defeat Bubazi of the Song Army.

How could Wang Xiu let him get what he wanted? He and the cavalry next to him immediately mobilized their horses, drew their bows and set arrows to deal with the enemy.

As the cavalry of the Liangshan Army attacked from behind, the archers on the two wings of the Song Army immediately changed formations to block them, but they mainly fought against the infantry, and it was extremely difficult to change formations.

Due to the attack launched by the remnant of Suo Chao, the Song Army's bow and arrow attack was weakened, which relieved Shi Jin's pressure.Those Bubazi were pleasantly surprised to find that apart from the sporadic shooting of the bows and arrows on the two wings, the deadly arrows on the front were gone. How could such a great opportunity be wasted.

They rushed forward screaming, fifty steps, twenty steps, ten steps, and there was a row of shocking heavy infantry in front of them. Just as they were about to launch the final charge, they didn't want the Song army to suddenly explode at a sky-high price. Roaring: "Kill."

When the Liangshan Army Bubazi rushing forward stopped in fear of the roar, the Song Army's heavy infantry in heavy armor rushed forward like Mount Tai, almost suffocating.

The Bubazi in front was slaughtered before he could react. The attack power of the heavy infantry is quite astonishing, especially in a small area, it is even more unstoppable. Let alone hacking, the strong impact alone can To crush people to death.Dozens of Bubazi didn't even have a chance to fight back. During the Song army's counterattack, they were driven to slaughter like ants.

Well, it doesn't make much sense to fight back. The sharp blades in their hands are more than enough to deal with leather armor, but the heavy armor of heavy infantry is not as good.

However, heavy infantry also has a great disadvantage on the plains. They cannot do large maneuvers and can only advance step by step to fight.

Shi Jin was not a fool, he immediately issued an order not to fight to the death with the heavy infantry. With this military order, those infantry were relieved, and immediately formed a loose formation to fight, which greatly reduced the loss.

Wang Xiu didn't fight against Suo Chao at all. It's a joke. There are no rules on the battlefield. Everything is based on the principle of benefit. If a few people play against more than a dozen people, they are either a once-in-a-thousand-year warrior or a fool.He retreated while fighting, directly entered the protective circle of the frontal rear team, and immediately shouted loudly: "Coach, immediately turn into a circular formation."

Under Qiu Fu's military order, the first team and the third team on the two wings quickly approached, and the rear team in the front gave up their bows and arrows and picked up equipment. Thanks to the intensity of the usual training, no matter how much people complained, they were grateful to Qiu Fu at this time. I am afraid that it is difficult to form a team quickly, so I can only let others scatter and slash.

Dozens of breaths, composed of a simple circular defense line, with gun cards outside and bows and arrows inside, Suo Chao's cavalry also rushed forward.

The moment when the heavy cavalry and the spearman clashed was a wonderful, tragic, and even a bit tragic scene.

The first wave of battles can only be said to be a tie. Suo Chao led the cavalry to contact the Song Army's circular formation, and then immediately left the battle and returned to help, forming a sparse formation on the north wing of Bubazi.

The hundreds of people Shi Jin invested were also beaten to pieces, but he still had the main force of thousands of people.The Song army's arrow formations on both wings moved closer together to form a circular formation, which actually became a defensive formation, and the initiative was still in his hands.

The cavalry of the Song army formed a guard on the east wing of the circle to monitor the opponent's cavalry, which was also regarded as a short rest. After all, they were fully armored and marched several miles into battle.Just now they rushed forward into the crowd of bandits Bubazi, slashing wantonly, Jing Bo and Qiu Yun were like two fierce tigers, one knife would kill one of them, like killing a god, the Bubazi who killed them turned their backs on their backs.

This battle, whether it is a man or a horse, bears a lot of burdens, and it is absolutely impossible not to retreat and rest.

The Song army took advantage of the opportunity to rest and reorganize. Shi Jin was not the same. He ordered the various ministries to adjust.

"We have suffered too much. I'm afraid it will be difficult to achieve the goals of each order." Suo Chao came on horseback, with the intention of retreating.

Shi Jin was expressionless, and he had calmed down, so he didn't understand the reason. Hundreds of cavalry were exhausted in two battles, and there were still less than a hundred of them. The more than [-] people who started the incident from Liang Shanbo, and the others were mobs collected from various states and counties, and they were at the level of cannon fodder.

The other party has hundreds of heavy cavalry with full armor and hundreds of heavy infantry with excellent armor. Yesterday, he saw that it was definitely a piece of fat that he was greedy for. Annihilating this army will arm hundreds of elites and make them The combat effectiveness of the Songjiang Department has been greatly improved.It's a pity that his heart was a little chilled. The opponent not only has excellent parents, but also the Hebei army whose combat effectiveness is not easy to collapse. This battle is really hanging.

However, letting him withdraw from Xuzhou disheartened is really hard to get rid of.

Wang Xiu looked at the forward who was still in the small-scale bow and arrow battle, he let out a long breath, and said, "Ma, no!"

Jing Bo and Qiu Yun stood by Wang Xiu's side, vaguely understanding the meaning of the gentleman, their faces were serious, and they nodded slowly.

The lack of horses in the Song court is an indisputable fact, especially the self-reliance of the party and the fall of the Liangzhou area, which dried up the source of fine-bred army horses in the Song court. The only horse farm in Shaanxi is not enough for consumption. The horse farms in Hebei are not large. In addition to the strong cavalry of the Western Army in the Imperial Army of the Great Song Dynasty, no matter whether it is the Dianqian Division or the Hebei Army, there is not one horse army in ten, and the situation is quite embarrassing.

The 15 Northern Expeditionary Army that Lian Tongguan is organizing is troublesome. The Bubazi from Hebei, Hedong, Jingdong, and Jingxi have relaxed their suppression of the party items and mobilized some Western Army cavalry to move eastward, so that the horse army can barely raise enough. The rest are horse cavalry.

Jingdong's Ground Forces are almost out of war horses, not to mention the township army!If it weren't for Wang Xiu's insistence on setting up a cavalry patrol, and Li Guojian's wealth, how could there be a scale of three hundred cavalry, and even the Imperial Army would be jealous.

"If you can give me [-] armored horses, you will be able to rule the world." Before Jing Bo and Qiu Yun were excited, Wang Xiu sighed and said in a deep voice: "The enemy is outnumbered, and the brave wins when we meet on a narrow road. Kill all the thieves."

"The whole army advances." Qiu Fu was experienced, and when he saw that Bubazi's attack power had declined, he immediately organized a counterattack.Meeting on a narrow road, the brave wins, that's right, his heart is surging, and it arouses great pride.

Wang Xiu fulfilled his promise of "follow me". He was dressed in black lacquered armor with mountain patterns, an iron pocket with phoenix wings and cloud patterns on his head, and a blue sweater ribbon around his neck. With nearly two hundred riders following behind, they killed like a whirlwind.

There were not many Bubazi who were fighting fiercely in front of them, and they were suddenly rushed up by the horse team. They would be fools if they didn't run, and they scattered for their lives.

Suo Chao was furious, and immediately led a cavalry team of less than a hundred people to rush forward, trying to buy time for Bu Bazi.

The cavalry of the two sides collided with each other, and the number of cavalry in Suo Chao's department was too small, and the armor battle could not be compared with that of Li Guojian's patrol, so it suffered a big loss from the beginning.The cavalry led by Xiusuo were all dressed in fine iron armor, almost invulnerable to swords and guns, unless they were smashed down with iron axes and iron rods in close combat, they could cause harm to people, and swords and guns were basically ineffective.

With few people and weak armor, in an unequal battle, the cavalry of Suochao had to engage in a desperate hand-to-hand combat.

Qiu Fu led the Bubazi to rush forward, and they covered each other as a pair, with swords and guns in front of the bow and arrows, and kept approaching the bandit Bubazi. Although they were also shot by bows and arrows, they had almost negligible casualties due to their excellent armor.

There are more than 100 well-equipped cavalry, and there is almost no suspense in the battle against nearly a hundred remaining cavalry.In a short period of time, Suo Chao's cavalry were eliminated one by one, with almost no power to fight back, but he was considered to have completed his mission. At least more than a thousand of Shi Jin's men had the power to fight back, and it was difficult to be defeated head-on.

The remaining ten or so riders were completely terrified by the Song army, and no longer dared to make any resistance. After escaping from Shengtian, they immediately rode their horses and galloped, never daring to stay again.

Surprised and angry, Suo Chao immediately rushed towards Wang Xiu brandishing a mace.

It's just in time, Wang Xiu can't ask for super head-to-head, mace can be fun?That thing is a killer weapon on the battlefield, no matter how good the iron armor is, it can't withstand a thunderbolt, and it will inevitably vomit blood and die within five years.Without any hesitation, he stretched his bow and pointed the arrow straight at Suo Chao, and shot it with a 'swish'.

Suo Chao was not an idiot either, seeing the Featherless Arrow coming, he shouted "Good job." He swung his mace and knocked down the Featherless Arrow.

Wang Xiu was not surprised, let alone flustered, and calmly shot out featherless arrows, all of which were shot down by Suo Chao without exception. Wang Xiu took ten steps, and even Qiu Yun changed color suddenly.

"Good time." Wang Xiu tapped lightly, and once again drew the bow and nocked the arrow, and the featherless arrow shot out like lightning. This was the last shot, and there was no more chance to draw the bow and nock the arrow again.

"Be careful sir, I'll fight..." Qiu Yun rode his horse angrily, but the distance of more than ten steps was too far, and it was only one blow to fight against life and death.

After a burst of shooting, the two Bubazi entered into a contact battle, and strange blood appeared on the battlefield again.
