Changfeng Thousands of Miles End Han Song

Chapter 550

The drums of the soldiers gathering in Anzhou City sounded, and the soldiers moved upon hearing the sound. They stood with long cards in front of the army, and a group of soldiers in armor and holding spears lined up behind them. If possible, Niu Gao would even ask people to carry them Horse out.

This object is placed on both sides of the front to prevent the enemy from turning around.

The swords and armor are as bright as a mirror, and the spears are as dense as a forest, and each spear is pointed straight ahead.The archers holding bows are divided into three rows, standing behind the shield wall of the gun forest, while the crossbowmen holding the bows and crossbows of the gods are in the front.Swords, shields and knives protected the two wings, and a small number of cavalry assembled to respond to the situation.

Niu Gao was quite satisfied to see that the whole army was in good order.The results of such long-term training and experience are remarkable.

However, although this battle has formed, it is only a superficial effort, whether it is a mule or a horse, we have to wait until the fight starts to see the difference.

Although on the battlefield of Jinghu, this kind of formation has passed the test of Wang Qing and Zhong Xiangjun, but the latter and Liangshan Army cannot be regarded as one.The gap between the two is probably even bigger than the gap between the Manichaeism and the Western Army.

Ever since Niu Gao started in the army, he either fought against Wang Qing's army, or fought deadly battles with thieves and bandits.When both of them were rookies, relying on their good martial arts, they repeatedly charged into the battle, beheaded generals and captured the flag, so they could naturally build up fatigue.

But the Liangshan Army has always been known by its name but does not know the real existence.He can only often compare the Western Army to it.The Western Army that Niu Gao had seen before fought in formation, and tens of thousands of bandits fled with their heads in their arms, but the formation of the Western Army was powerful, but the speed after formation was slow, and it was time for the pursuit Let go of the array, and often miss the best time.

From that time on, Niu Gao desperately hoped to have a cavalry at his disposal.

Right now it was time to formally compete with the Liangshan army, and it was even hoped that they could kill a small army of them by fighting more.Although this would not be a big deal in terms of the battle situation, it was just an insignificant matter, but Niu Gao was still excited.Holding the four-lens iron mace tightly in his hand, he sat on the horse's back and looked straight ahead.

The integrated array of more than [-] Song troops is also the largest one, which is much more than the two groups of people chasing and fleeing ahead.

Niu Gao showed a bit of ferocity on his face, but he rarely stood in front of the formation.Although the flag has already been set on the front army, the front army and the front of the formation are two different things.

"Here we come." The commander of the pro-army—still no name—saw the dust rising in front of him from a distance, and reminded him in a low voice.

Niu Gao gazed into the distance with a calm expression, and raised his hand to stop the whole army.Come on, no matter how elite you are, I will beat you to the end!He has more than 4000 people, how can he be better than hundreds of Liangshan troops? They all carry a head on one shoulder, who can be better than whom?
"Pro-army—still no name—commander, you lead 100 people to supervise the formation! Anyone who dares to retreat without authorization, regardless of officers and soldiers, will be killed on the spot!" Niu Gao ordered in a deep voice.His combat experience is still very rich, thinking of the mob he encountered in the past, if he can ride a horse and kill the enemy general, the swarm must collapse, no matter how many people there are.Or it may be that the army is brave and diligent, and the bandits who fight are defeated and retreated one after another, unable to stand on their feet.Those cowards didn't care how many soldiers there were, just fled backwards, but caused the army, which was far superior in number, to be defeated.

When Niu Gao was just starting out, he led hundreds of villager warriors, each holding a strong bow, and he was able to shoot thousands of rioters and grassroots bandits, and he was defeated incessantly.

The pro-army - still without a name - the commander immediately led a hundred swordsmen to stand behind the formation, watching.The hearts of everyone in the army were shocked.At this moment, I saw a group of men and horses galloping towards them. They had no banners, but judging from their obedience, they were undoubtedly officers and soldiers.

"Call people to go and shout, tell them to retreat to the side of the formation, and don't rush into the formation." Niu Gao's eyes were no longer on the former, but more on the hundreds of Liangshan troops chasing after the latter.

"Tell the brothers, we are many, the enemy is few! Take this great opportunity to defeat the Liang bandits in front of you, dampen the enthusiasm of the Liang bandits, and raise the reputation of my imperial camp. This is the first victory of the official army in recent days. I, Niu Gao, don't dare to say anything else, I only want to reward money for my merits, and the brothers will definitely be indispensable at that time.

The world is full of thieves, the country is in turmoil, and when the imperial court is employing people, it will never treat meritorious soldiers badly. "

These words were proclaimed by the soldiers in unison, and thousands of sergeants behind them could all understand, and a ball of enthusiasm suddenly arose in their hearts.

Yes, what Niu Tongzhi said was right. If he won this battle, it would be the only victory in recent times. How could the court not reward him heavily?
"You all know what I am, Niu Gao. Today, I set up a flag in the front army. Even if I die, I will never take a step back. If you don't keep your word, you want to abandon your brothers and run away. Brothers just greet me, Niu Gao, with knives and guns." !" Niu Gao's shout spread everywhere.

Under these remarks, there are more than [-] people in the entire army, who would dare to have two hearts.Everyone was in high spirits, and held their breath, just waiting for Liang Shanjun to come over, so as to please them!
Then I saw the group of defeated soldiers in front of them, crying and cheering as if seeing their parents, running to the side of the army array, very close to the cavalry array.

However, the bandit soldiers of the Liangshan Army later on had a combination of infantry and cavalry, but there were fewer cavalry, probably less than a hundred cavalry.He didn't make any effort to chase, but hung behind the infantry in front.There was a lot of dust, but the explorers hadn't noticed it earlier.The sound of horse hooves at this moment cannot be concealed.

Niu Gao suddenly felt something wrong in his heart.Since the thieves had such a group of cavalry, why didn't they try their best to stop Fang Peng's remnants?
But Liang Shanjun had already given him more time to think about it.

Three hundred soldiers of the Liangshan Army were like a sledgehammer, smashing hard on the shield, wall and gun forest of the Song Army.

The sky was full of arrows, but none of them seemed to have a fatal effect.

Because, on this side, there are few people, and on the other hand, the bow is soft and the arrow is light.

"Tiger, tiger, tiger—" The neat and clear roar resounded through the ground, suppressing Song Jun's shouts for killing in an instant.

The hundreds of cavalry on the opposite side had already prepared their horses and horses, causing the cavalry of Niu Gao's troops, who were also behind the formation, to concentrate on the cavalry on the opposite side.Naturally, the defeated soldiers in Suizhou were ignored.

And then, and then they were all finished.

When they saw dozens of frenzied war horses being driven and led straight to the rear of Niugao's army, the soldiers there had no choice but to yell almost crazily to vent their fear!
What did they see?
Seeing the group of defeated soldiers from Suizhou, under the leadership of that disheveled and embarrassed general, he killed all his cavalry neatly.Then a few people jumped on the horse's back and whistled, and others poked the horse's buttocks with knives and guns, and then dozens of war horses rushed straight towards the rear like crazy.

The officer here was at a loss. Facing this sudden attack, he was powerless to resist.Sitting and watching dozens of crazy war horses, like a torrent, rushed the entire rear army to pieces, and even affected the middle army.

Zhou Chunlai breathed a sigh of relief, and a heartfelt sense of joy suddenly rose in his heart.

Ever since he lost face in the first battle in Yingzhou, he has been thinking about getting back his place all the time.It was also fortunate that Zhao An, the deputy envoy of soldiers and horses, was an old subordinate he had single-handedly pulled out, so he didn't take the opportunity to make trouble, but when the army gathered in Fangcheng, the mocking and sneering eyes made Zhou Chunlai feel ashamed.Even the righteous brother Zhou Daming..., although he didn't say much, he was quite angry with him!

Now he conquered Zaoyang, Tangcheng, and took Suizhou, but he didn't see his true skills.Only now, this time, he has succeeded, which is a good way.

This is his battle of shame.

Niu Gao was also confused!

Turning his head sharply, he saw the chaos in the rear, and even the central army was in chaos.Niu Gao knew that he had been tricked.Especially in the dust in front of him, and seeing an army of thousands of people rushing towards the battlefield, Niu Gao knew that the defeat of this battle was settled!

What can he do now?
If it was a shameless person, he would definitely run away after flattering him.But Niu Gao was different, as soon as he gritted his teeth, his gaze became sharp, his face as black as pot ashes was full of determination and fearlessness!

"Kill, kill. Today, I, Niu Gao, will live and die with all the soldiers..." Clapping the horse and dancing with two maces, Niu Gao rushed straight to the front line.

Kill it!
Apart from this method, Niu Gao couldn't think of a second method.As for death, he is not afraid!
The sound of killing, screaming, clashing of weapons, and neighing of war horses were intertwined, which was deafening.

The soldiers on both sides fought fiercely, and corpses fell one after another on the ground.

The Liangshan army with high morale crushed the Song army and beat them up!

This is not a close contest.If so, then the fight on the battlefield should be ten times more intense than now.Soldiers from both sides will step on the corpses of their enemies or companions, no matter how many people die in front.Whoever can persist to the end will be the winner!
Not now.

In the chaotic formation, seeing the soldiers around him fall down one by one, while the Liangshan army kept advancing, gradually squeezing the rest of his army together and making it difficult to deploy, Niu Gao had no intention of shouting.

This battle was decided as early as when he unpreparedly let the "Suizhou defeated soldiers" retreat to the back of the formation.

At the same time, a large number of Liangshan troops also marched from Fancheng to Lumen Mountain along the Han River.

Lu Qian had already arrived at the front of the army, and he didn't care much about Fancheng.It doesn't matter whether it has inner and outer walls, whether it has Yanchi City, etc., Lu Qian doesn't care about it.

Because the city of Fancheng is not only too ridiculous.

The ruins of the ancient city of Xiangyang can be clearly seen on the Baidu maps of later generations. It is a square almost square, and several moats are very straight.

But what about Fancheng?This is a rectangular city, and its urban layout is set along the Han River.East and west are long and north and south are short!

Lu Qian felt that if the Liangshan cannon was placed outside the city, would it be able to hit the cannon stone to the south city with one shot?

Therefore, Fancheng is not the point.

Compared with Lumen Mountain, this place is not worth mentioning.

Xu Ning once sent Lei Heng to lead troops to attack the Song army's camp in Lumen Mountain, but the Xiangyang Song army on the opposite bank sent reinforcements by boat, and Lei Heng returned without success.This time, Lu Qian sent Qin Mingdu over.

Lumen Temple, an ancient temple for thousands of years, has become a military camp of the Song Army. Lumen Temple, located on the mountainside, not only has excellent geographical advantages, but also has no shortage of water sources and houses.

Today is the most prosperous time of Lumen Temple. There are more than 560 Buddhist halls, monk's dormitories, Zhaitang, and abbot's rooms.

The guard of the Song Army is Zhang Qiong!
