Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 233
If the possible heavy rain may lead to the failure of the operation, then this strong wind is definitely God's help for his success.

The four cavalry came downwind, sharp as lightning, and they burned as much as they could to finish the battle before the possible heavy rain.

The strong wind continued to ravage the ground, and the hard sand and stones that were raised hit the faces of the cavalry officers and soldiers. They felt pain during the high-speed charge, and even the fine armor made intermittent clanging and powerful sounds in the wind and sand.

The wind and sand all over the sky were so ferocious, but the resolute faces of these solitary cavalrymen did not show the slightest pain. Those steel-like resolute eyes revealed a cold murderous intent, and their tense faces showed a strong fierceness. gas.

If Pan Mei, Cao Bin, Li Jilong and other famous generals were there back then, they would be very proud. This is the demeanor of the founding power of the Song Dynasty. The vastness of no less than thousands of riders is really breathtaking.

Liangshan soldiers and horses guarding the heavy camp, how did they know that bad luck was coming, they all cursed the ghost weather, is there such a joke?It was still cloudy just now, and suddenly the wind turned violent, and half of the sky in the northwest was dark. Many people got into tents to avoid the strong wind.

Chai Jin stayed behind to dispatch food and grass equipment. He did not approve of Song Jiang's attack on Li Guojian, thinking that they would be good for avoiding the Song army's defense, trying to defeat the pursuers during the movement, and then gaining the attention of the court. .It's a pity that the entire army of Shi Jin was wiped out, which made Song Jiang lose his composure, gave up his good at mobile warfare, and assembled a large army to attack the strong stronghold.

It really made him regretful that when he learned about the Bozhou incident Hou Mengzhao gave them peace, he even prepared to write a book, but it was a pity that Mr. Hou didn't complete his mission, so he died.

When the strong wind blew up, he felt very depressed, took Fan Yangli and put on a cloak and went out of the tent, ordering all the ministries not to leave their posts without authorization, but he himself had to patrol the various villages.

Just as he arrived at the gate of the northern village, he heard a startled voice: "Look, there are several teams of cavalry coming from the north."

I wanted to look far away but was squinted by the wind, tears flowed for a while, and the rumbling thunder that came with the wind was deafening.Thunder, it doesn't look like it!When he rubbed his eyes and tried his best to look, his face turned pale with shock, and his eyeballs were wide open.

Accompanied by the billowing smoke and dust, two teams of cavalry galloped in line, with the wind carrying a huge momentum of violence like a torrent, sending out unstoppable murderous aura, standard iron armor, red pennant flag, black armor and red robe, this is the horse army of the Song Dynasty standard equipment.

"Hurry up, the enemy is coming, the enemy is coming, prepare for battle, prepare for battle." Chai Rong's face was ashen, and he no longer cared about the wind and sand that filled the sky. He turned and ran with the wind, urging the guards to come out and fight.

In the strong wind and flying sand, the gray sky and the cavalry wearing black lacquered mountain armor seemed to blend into one. Facing these fiery and murderous nine-day fierce monsters, the timid people couldn't help shivering.

The soldiers who stayed behind with heavy supplies, had never seen such a formation before, most of them were civilians recruited from Qingzhou and Yizhou, and many of them were bandits who defected, some of them were fierce, but after all, they were not as good as the original soldiers and horses who ran rampant in Heshuo. The battle was blown by the strong wind so much that he couldn't open his eyes. Seeing the opponent's momentum was like a tiger, his heart was already tearing up, and he ran around to avoid the sharp edge.

Feng Yuan and Qiu Yun's two horse teams rushed into the supply village, but they did not chase and kill the Liangshan soldiers who were fleeing in all directions.Killing the defenseless rout everywhere is not something that real soldiers are proud of, let alone what smart soldiers should do. When they see the grain stacks full of camps, they seem to see fat prey and set fire to them one after another. Tinder, took out the leather bag containing the oil, pulled up the strong bow and mounted the rocket, and rushed towards it like a pack of greedy wolves.

The grass and trees are flammable, especially when they are poured with oil by the opponent. Taking advantage of the strong wind, rockets are shot one after another, and torches are thrown one by one.

The Liangshan soldiers were dispersed, and they no longer had the will to fight when the fire started. Yingfeng couldn't open his eyes, and Shunfeng could only leave his back to the opponent. The raging flames ignited everywhere, even the strongest soldiers collapsed!

The cavalry of the Song Army followed the trend and encountered almost no resistance. They shot and killed Liangshan soldiers who dared to turn around and fight, just like hunting.

Looking at the flames in the sky, Chai Rong almost despaired, as if he saw the end of the sworn brothers. He never thought that the Song army would come to rob the village. The Song army has been beaten all the time. Now, if you dare to tease the tiger's beard, the timing, location, and people are so precise, isn't it?
Not allowing him to think too much, a general of the Song Army wearing a phoenix-winged helmet rushed forward, and the gleaming Ma Qian slashed at him with a strong murderous aura.

Wang Xiu did not take the initiative to attack, but put Baiqi on the north side of the west gate of Cheng County, and waited quietly with a silk scarf covering his face.Let him be ravaged by strong winds, and the hundred riders will stand still, like a hundred steel sculptures, standing in the dark sky, with an aura that can withstand thousands of troops.

The fire soaring into the sky aroused the idea of ​​Liangshan defenders in Chengxian County. Any fool would know that they were attacked by the enemy.

The one who stayed in the city was Jie Bao. He and Chai Jin shared the responsibility of guarding the rear. It doesn't mean that he can't fight. On the contrary, he was born as a hunter and has good martial arts.Food and grass are the life and death of the entire army, especially when the battle is going on, once the food and grass are cut off, the consequences can be imagined, and he can't tolerate any mistakes.

Today, he and Chai Jin were on guard duty. He had just entered the county town to enjoy the gentleness of the young lady, but he was interrupted when he was panting for breath. He was so angry that he almost killed the little soldier.When he put on his robe angrily and broke through the door, the strong cold wind poured into the warm pavilion, but he saw the faint flames shooting up to the sky from the west, he couldn't help being shocked, and immediately organized the defenders to support.

There are more than 500 people stationed in Chengxian County. As the support of the food and grass Dazhai, he can't take care of many people. He immediately summoned [-] people to fight, including [-] soldiers from Liangshanbo. The murderous aura that came out was stronger than the troops led by Shi Jin and Suo Chao. It was clearly a battle-tested Tiger Ben, so Song Jiang was relieved to attack Li Guojian with the main force.

Elite soldiers are elite soldiers, they were assembled quickly, and when the city gate was opened, Xie Bao led dozens of cavalry to rush out first, followed by Bu Bazi with Fan Yangli.

"It's finally here!" Wang Xiu squinted her eyes, and the corners of her mouth under the silk scarf were slightly raised, like a tiger and wolf who found its prey.

The eyes of all the soldiers of the Hundred Knights flickered. If you untie the silk scarves, you will be able to see faces as cold as steel, with a sinister smile on the corners of their mouths, and pairs of fierce eyes that are full of bloodthirsty eyes. Murderous spirit.

The grayness and strong wind gave them the best concealment, maybe it was covered by the rolling hills, and Jie Bao, who was so anxious, didn't pay attention to the abnormality in the north.

"Get ready!" Wang Xiu didn't shout loudly. As a veteran who had seen blood, the cavalry formed by these patrols knew what they should do.

"Crackling." Where the bowstring collapsed, featherless arrows landed on them. The cold arrowheads reflected the light of death, aiming obliquely at the void. They were ready to attack, but the enemy could only enter the range and go downwind. emission.

When Xie Bao entered the 150-step range of the bow and arrow, he didn't notice the extremely dangerous atmosphere in the air, and the strong wind blew sideways so they didn't want to look at it.

Bu Bazi, who was following behind, even wrapped his head in cloth brocade, swearing and trying his best to go on his way, but he still had the mind to face the wind and look north, and some of them were just the flames soaring to the sky in front of him, and he didn't notice it at all. In the wind and sand, that little bit of cold light that seemed to emerge from hell would kill them.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh."

When Xie Bao was alert, there was a roar of flying arrows in the dark midair, and more than a dozen cavalrymen screamed and fell off their horses. He immediately shouted: "No, there is an ambush."

Taking arrows, nocking arrows, stretching strings, launching, and running in succession are as smooth as flowing clouds and flowing water. Baiqi has shown superb archery skills, especially under static shooting, with the help of strong winds, not only the accuracy is improved, The range of damage was farther-reaching, and even Bu Bazi was accurately shot down by the flying arrows.

There were flying arrows everywhere, hissing and screaming endlessly, in just a hundred breaths, he didn't even touch the enemy's hair, Jie Bao had already lost half of his cavalry and three-tier infantry, he was so angry Shouting loudly, I never thought that there would be such a fierce and elite soldier in the Song Army, I was too arrogant.

"Rush forward and kill me fiercely." Wang Xiu collected all the black lacquer bows, raised the horse and let the horse charge to kill.

"Zheng, zheng, zheng." The last round of hundreds of arrows flew out of the string, pounced on the chaotic crowd of infantrymen, and the cavalrymen who picked up heavy equipment made the screeching sound of armored leaves. , Hundreds of cavalry charged almost at the same time, and rushed towards the soldiers of Liangshan with a strong wind, and their soldiers were by no means under the pressure of Qianqi.

Amidst the muffled sound of sharp arrows piercing armor, countless blood sprayed out, and dozens of people died tragically under the arrows.Bubazi's crude and fragile leather armor could not withstand the violent baptism of the dense arrow rain, they could no longer raise their morale, and the rest was hysterical panic. How could they survive?
It finally stopped, there was no disturbing sound of arrows piercing through the body, but what followed was an even more chilling scene, one by one subway people rushed in front of them like menacing gods and gods, and the people who were hit There was no time for people to scream, just like a flying kite, it flew backwards and landed heavily, horse spears, long knives, axes and hammers flashed past, leaving only the rain of blood flying, with intermittent grief and anger Screaming, more people's heads were smashed, and even shouting is an extravagant wish.

Xie Bao, who has experienced many battles, is terrified. He has fought in Liangshanbo for the rest of his life. He has never had the fear and despair of today. If he is given another chance, he will never rush into the army. It is too late to say anything now!
