Great Song Pirate

Chapter 660 Wanyan Chang's Luck
Xu Yi didn't stay in Fuzhou City. He wanted to go to the front. Even if he couldn't go to Liaoyang Mansion, he would at least go to Gaizhou City. He really wanted to know what the legendary Bodhisattva Prince Wanyan Zongwang of the Great Jin Kingdom was capable of. Let's see if he can reverse Jin Guo's decline after he comes this time!On this point, Xu Yi really has a combative temperament!

It was only when he got there that he felt really relieved. Originally, Wang Feng wanted to persuade him to stay in Fuzhou, but no matter how much he tried, he couldn't persuade Xu Yi, so he had no choice but to send five of the most elite in the city. A hundred elite soldiers sent Xu Yi out of Fuzhou City.

Fortunately, the heavy snow has stopped in the first few days, and the roads leading to Fuzhou and Gaizhou City have been trafficked all the time, so the snow on the roads has basically been trampled down, and walking is not so strenuous, but it is a bit slippery, but In Fuzhou City, these people have learned another trick, tying the hemp rope to their feet, which can effectively prevent slipping, and they will not fall easily when walking.

Fuzhou City is not far away from Gaizhou City, and the journey along the way is no longer as hard as before, and the speed has also increased a lot, but this is already close to the front line, and everyone is starting to be careful.

At the suggestion of Li Bin and Yu Wei, Xu Yi sent multiple scouting teams to explore the road, and urged them to speed up their march. Therefore, since more than 5000 of them left Fuzhou City, they did not delay any longer. The people and horses ran forward vigorously, so that everyone didn't feel cold anymore.

Wan Yanchang led his [-] cavalry, and after saying goodbye to Zongwang, they immediately headed towards Fuzhou City. In order to speed up, each of them had two horses, and they took turns to let the horses rest from time to time. The horses were covered with quilts to protect them from the frost, so even if there was snow on the road, it did not affect them too much.

"It's more comfortable to walk like this. I'm holding my breath with the army. I'm going to get bored after walking such a small distance in a day!" Wan Yanchang said to the lieutenant beside him, waving his horsewhip.

"Yes, General, after coming out this time, the Marshal was a little too careful. We beat them all over the place with so many troops in the Song Dynasty. Could it be that such a small number of thieves from the Fubo Army are incompetent?" ?” The deputy general said to Wan Yanchang with a smile on his face.

"Don't underestimate these thieves. After all, they have defeated our army of the Kingdom of Jin many times, and they just took down the entire Liaodong. Defeating them shows that these thieves are indeed superior, and we must guard against them!" Although Wan Yanchang is brave, he is not an idiot, but he is superior in leading troops to fight. It can be said that he is bold and careful. Otherwise, he would not have come up with this plan to surprise Fuzhou.

"Yes! I heard that these thieves have some very clean weapons. When they fire, they sound like thunder. No human or animal will be spared. Moreover, they can also command a tall and ferocious monster. The battlefield is almost unimpeded. , Invulnerable to swords and guns, it was said that Marshal Oben was defeated by them using this kind of monster in one fell swoop!" A lieutenant general said with some anxiety.

Wan Yanchang frowned and said, "Nonsense! It's true that they have firing cannons, and it's far more than that. I've heard of all of this. As for the invulnerable monsters you mentioned, It is nonsense at all, I have already inquired about it from the marshal, it is not a monster at all, but something called a war elephant, but you don't have to worry now, the spy has sent back the news, saying that the thief After the war with Wuben, the army has already transported all these war elephants out of Liaodong, and they have disappeared! So don't worry that we will encounter that kind of thing this time! Now I hope we can know God Arrive at Fuzhou City without knowing it, give them a slap in the face, and extinguish their arrogance! Pass the order and speed up!"

So the two thousand elite soldiers sped up again and rushed towards Fuzhou.

This may also be an arrangement of fate. The two soldiers and horses finally met unexpectedly on the road. The scouts of both sides found each other almost at the same time. The difference in the quality of the soldiers of the two sides immediately appeared. The scout team sent by the Fubo Army had about 20 people, while the Jinren's scouts had only ten people. , and the rest were killed by the Jinren scouts, but the Jinbing only paid the price of three people.

As a result, Jin Bing's morale was immediately boosted. After Wan Yanchang got the news, he immediately speeded up, led his soldiers and horses, and rushed towards Xu Yi's position aggressively. This time, the old boy Wanyan Changle, originally he was worried that Fuzhou City would be prepared, but now it seems that his worry is unnecessary, otherwise, the opponent would not have sent the baggage team out of the city to transport it to Gaizhou so ostentatiously.

"Jurchens! We caught fat sheep today! Speed ​​up! Kill them and you will get rich!" Wan Yanchang immediately yelled loudly.

This group of elite soldiers immediately seemed to be in heat, wailed strangely and put on a war horse, and then immediately started galloping on the horse, but Wan Yanchang only made a mistake, this time they encountered terrible It's not a supply team, but the soul leader of the Fubo Army. If he knew, he would probably be crazy about Noh!
The reason why Wan Yanchang was misunderstood is not to blame his scouts for being blind, but Xu Yi did bring a batch of supplies when he left Fuzhou City this time, as well as a batch of artillery accompanying him this time. There were a lot of vehicles in the team , stretching for several miles, giving people an illusion, as if his soldiers and horses were a team for transporting food, fodder and luggage.

When Wan Yanchang got the news, Xu Yi and the others also got the news, and the generals immediately became nervous after hearing about it.

There is still some distance from Gaizhou City, so why did an elite cavalry of the Golden Army suddenly appear?Could it be that the news of Xu Yi's visit to Gaizhou this time was leaked to the Jinren, and the Jinren specially sent a surprise soldier to rob and kill Xu Yi.

No one can figure this out, but they know that things are a bit troublesome. Although they have more troops than the Jin army, most of them are infantry, and the combat experience is not very rich. There are only a few hundred people in the team The surrounding terrain is also relatively open, which is very conducive to the attack of the golden cavalry. Once they face the golden cavalry here, they will suffer a lot!
After Xu Yi heard the news, he was also a little stunned, but after all, he had experienced more storms than ordinary people. After a little nervousness, he immediately calmed down. No matter how this golden soldier appeared here, consider This matter is meaningless now. What he has to face now is the attack of the Jin army that will arrive soon. Now his team is still on the way, and now there are not many elite soldiers under him. Regardless of the large number, he does not have enough With confidence, he can defeat the Jin Army in one fell swoop.

It's too late to set up the formation now, it will take a while just to prepare the artillery formation, not to mention there are so many vehicles and materials that need to be collected?

The situation was obviously very bad for Xu Yi, and the sudden change made him a little dizzy, but after looking around for a while, he immediately had another idea, so he waved his horsewhip and pointed to the roadside not too far away. A piece of woods in the middle of the road ordered the generals: "Don't panic, immediately order everyone to enter the woods, pull the vehicles outside the woods, line up in a horizontal line, and move faster!"

After receiving this order from Xu Yi, more than 5000 soldiers and horses immediately left the road, dragging the carts and artillery carts full of luggage and rushed towards the woods.

Xu Yi ran back and forth with Hou Chengce's horse, dispatching these soldiers and horses to hide in the woods. Right now, he can only use this small forest as a defensive position, and the opponents are all cavalry, so it is impossible to rush into the woods to attack them , as long as they occupy this forest, they will be invincible!

While they were still busy retreating towards the grove, a black shadow appeared on the horizon, and the sound of rumbling horseshoes had begun to reach the ears of the soldiers of the Fubo Army, but at this time there were still many vehicles stuck in the In the snow on the side of the road, they have not yet reached the edge of the woods, let alone lined up to defend against the enemy.

Everyone's face changed slightly, only Xu Yi himself still looked calm, but he was also a little anxious in his heart. If this golden army breaks into their team before they have organized their formation, what will be the consequences? Well, he knows better than anyone else that the Jin people are not paper tigers, and their cavalry is currently the most elite army in the world, so things will be hard to say!

"Li Bin! Take your cavalry and line up to stop the enemy immediately. Just give the army some time to deploy, and withdraw immediately when you hear Mingjin! Don't fight with them!" Xu Yi had no choice but to let Li Bin led the cavalry to take the risk of blocking the golden soldiers for a while. Although he knew that Li Bin's cavalry was definitely not the opponent of the golden army when they went out this time, and the whole army might be wiped out, but under the overall situation, he could only do so chosen.

Of course Li Bin is also aware of the consequences, but this is the only way right now, so he immediately clasped his fists and said: "I obey!"

After receiving the order, Li Bin got on his horse immediately and shouted to his subordinates: "Everyone in the cavalry battalion get on my horse! Hold up your guns! Let's meet these golden soldiers first!"

Hundreds of cavalry gathered immediately, and all the soldiers immediately got on their horses and formed a square formation. Although they were a little nervous, since they joined the army, the instructors have always instilled in them that as soldiers, they should be ready to die at any time Prepare, the more timid you are, the faster you will die. What the Fubo army despises most is the cowards who run away. If they are going to face the battle, they have to have such an awareness when they are soldiers anyway, and they can't let them make choices.

When Li Bin saw that his cavalry battalion was lined up, he immediately kicked his feet and shouted: "Follow me!"

The cavalry battalion immediately started to follow him, and greeted the oncoming Jin army. Everyone lowered their bodies, trying to keep in harmony with the movements of the horses, and a snow fog rose behind them.

Wan Yanchang looked at the cavalry of the Fubo Army, and couldn't help admiring their courage. They were at an absolute disadvantage in numbers, but they still dared to stop him. At least in terms of courage, the Fubo Army Well done!

"Since they are willing to come to die, let them! Kill me!" Wan Yanchang sneered and roared.

Immediately, his golden army roared at the same time, rode their horses and continued to accelerate, charging towards Li Bin's cavalry battalion.

"Javelin ready!" Looking at the approaching Jin army, Li Bin calmed down instead, so he ordered loudly, and handed his iron spear to his left hand, pulled out a javelin from his back, and held it in his right hand .

All the officers and soldiers of the cavalry battalion handed over their weapons to their left hands according to the order, and they all drew a javelin from their backpacks on their backs, and got ready.

"Follow me, go around in front of them, don't force your way in! Get ready!" Li Bin ordered again, the cavalry of the Fubo army can't catch up with the elite cavalry of the Jin army, but for such a cold weather, the javelin is a good choice , although he wants to lead his troops to fight the Jinren, he doesn't have to die. His mission is to delay the enemy troops, create trouble for them, and buy time for the lord to set up the formation. As long as he completes this mission, he will not die or die good!

The Jin army also picked up their bows and arrows one after another, and got ready to launch. The damn weather was too cold, which made them feel pain like cutting their fingers on the bowstring, and the bowstring was also a bit hard Lost tension, had to get a little closer to launch.

The two sides gave the order to launch almost at the same time. The Fubo Army cavalry immediately stood up. With the help of horsepower and waist legs, they swung their right arms vigorously and threw the javelins in their hands almost simultaneously. He let go of the bowstring in his hand, and a rain of arrows also swayed towards the Fubo Army cavalry.

Whether it was arrows or javelins, they all rushed towards their targets with a grin of death. The number of arrows in the Jin Army seemed to be more, but when they each found their targets, they showed their power difference.

Although the quality of the Fubo army's cavalry is not as good as that of the golden soldiers, the defensive ability of the steel cloth bag armor on their bodies is far superior to that of the leather armor worn by the golden soldiers. Strictly speaking, unless it is some unimportant parts, or the defense ability of the gap just under the ribs is weaker, it is a bit difficult for ordinary arrows to penetrate the bag armor on their bodies and cause serious damage to them, unless What's unlucky is that an arrow happens to be shot from the seam of the nail at an angle, so there is really no way!

In the first round of confrontation between the two sides, both sides threw themselves into the snow, splashing a lot of blood, but in comparison, the casualties of the Fubo Army were much smaller than that of the Jinbing Army.

Many Jin soldiers, no matter they are men or horses, as long as they stick to the javelin, they will never be spared. The huge inertia of the javelin endowed them with full lethality, causing the Jin army to suffer a lot of casualties at once, while the Fubo army However, after a rain of arrows, the number of lightly injured far exceeded the number of seriously injured and fallen. Even if some horses were hit by one arrow and two arrows, they could not make them lie down immediately. The ferocity of the horse.

Regarding the opponent's use of the javelin, it made the Jin army a little depressed. They disdain to use this thing, but today they just watched the hedging and suffered a dull loss, which made the formation of the Jin army attack a little messy.

Li Bin also seized a fleeting opportunity, and immediately led his cavalry battalion to draw a gorgeous arc in front of the Jin army, and actually led his team to avoid the heavy collision of the Jin army's forward On their weakest outside, a local advantage has been formed.

At the moment when the two sides intersected, everyone tried their best to greet the opponent's body with the weapons in their hands. There was no trick in this confrontation. After the screams, the soldiers and horses of both sides fell down On top of the snow, blood flowers bloomed.

After the contact, Li Bin's cavalry battalion tore through the flanks of Wan Yanchang's formation. Unexpectedly, most of the soldiers rushed out with him and were not eaten by Wan Yanchang.

Wan Yanchang couldn't accept such a result. He obviously saw that the opponent's riding skills were not as good as his own soldiers and horses, and he couldn't compare with himself in terms of numbers. But this time, he couldn't eat the opponent completely. , This made him feel a little embarrassed!
"Turn around! Get rid of them!" Wan Yanchang roared, and immediately commanded the troops to turn around and chase after Li Bin's cavalry battalion.

It's no wonder that Wan Yanchang would use this stupid move, because there is nothing wrong with his strategy. In their golden man's tactics, once they only need to eat the opponent's cavalry, no matter how strong the remaining infantry is, the final result will be to kill them. Being tortured to death by them, the first thing he thought of was to completely deal with the cavalry of the Fubo Army before talking about the rest. Tactically, even if he was in a rage, it was not a mistake.

After Li Bin rushed out of the Golden Army formation with the rest of his men, he turned his head and looked, feeling a little sad psychologically. Among the hundreds of cavalrymen he brought, less than half of them did not follow. The result is predictable, but even so, things are much better than he had expected, at least he still has the ability to fight.

And when he looked at the Golden Army again, he became a little happy again. Anyway, he finally achieved his goal, and in the one blow just now, they killed more with less, and unexpectedly killed a lot of Golden Soldiers, at least There is also a one-to-one exchange rate, which is enough to make him proud!
So he roared immediately, took the rest of the cavalry, ran wildly on the open ground, dragged Wan Yanchang's soldiers and horses and began to walk around outside, Wan Yanchang was so angry that he screamed, this damn Fubo army, It was too cunning, after doing it for a while, he never contacted them again, and ran with all his might.

"Separate! Let me separate and outflank them. I will peel their skin!" Wan Yanchang led his army to chase, and at the same time ordered his men to pursue separately. At this moment, he was determined to give this cunning Fubo army cavalry to him. Kill them all to relieve your anger.

But when the two golden armies blocked Li Bin's cavalry, there was a sound of gold ringing in the direction of the grove.

Li Bin was overjoyed, and immediately turned his horse's head, leading the remaining cavalry, and ran towards the small forest.

"Damn it! You've been fooled! Chase me!" Wan Yanchang finally understood that he had been fooled by the cunning Fubo army, and it seemed that it was temporarily impossible to eat all the opponent's cavalry. , I am afraid that the next battle will not be easy to fight.

But he didn't give up on chasing Li Bin's cavalry, he waved his army and charged towards the grove. He kept shooting arrows behind Li Bin's cavalry battalion, and hunted and killed some Fubo cavalry .

When Li Bin led his team back to the grove, the formation had already been completed. Carts were lined up outside the grove. The crossbowmen climbed onto the carts and waited for them. Moreover, every other section of the carts, they would A gap was left, and a black hole was exposed in the gap.

And the cart on the far left opened a wide opening, and there was an open space inside. With the waving of the command flag, Li Bin knew that this was the gap left for them to return to the team, so he led his troops and rushed in.

As Li Bin led his troops back to the main formation, this gap was immediately blocked by a few improvised refusal horses pulled by the Fubo soldiers who were waiting in the formation.

A team of spearmen immediately stood behind the rejecting horse, stretched out their spears forward, forming a forest of spears, and then the archers stood beside the spearmen, raising their bows and crossbows.

Wan Yanchang immediately pulled back the horse, gathered the soldiers and horses under his command, and continued to rush over now, which was tantamount to courting death. He had to admire the reaction speed of the Fubo Army, who would think of relying on the small army in such a short time. Woods to defend against the attack of his soldiers and horses.

Looking at the situation in front of him, Wan Yanchang felt a little headache, this time things will be difficult to handle!

"General, let's deal with them with cavalry and archery! We can only trap them here now! We have lost our best chance!" A lieutenant said to Wan Yanchang, looking at the formation of chariots by the edge of the grove.

"I didn't expect that the Fubo Army really lived up to their reputation. Their cavalry is so powerful that they dragged us for so long! Let their supply team have a chance to defend against the enemy! Damn it! We still underestimated them a bit! "Wan Yanchang nodded and said.

"My lord general, I think that this troop doesn't look like a convoy, because they seem to have too many escorts! Also, it's strange that their vehicles form an array. Between every two vehicles What is that thing on display?" A lieutenant general finally put forward his opinion.

"Oh?..." Wan Yanchang began to carefully observe the somewhat strange baggage train in front of him.
