Fenghou

However, the morale of the Song army's scouts was greatly boosted. The more they fought, the more courageous they became, and they cooperated tacitly, often forming a situation of three battles and one. In just a moment, several Jurchen cavalrymen were stabbed and fell off their horses.

"retreat!"

A Jurchen priest shouted, and everyone turned their horses and fled.

Chen Qing had been staring at him a long time ago, raised his crossbow to aim at the opponent's horse, and shot an arrow, which hit the horse's hind leg, and the horse fell to the ground fatigued, throwing Jurchen Shichang a foot away.

The remaining eight Jurchen cavalry had fled far away, and Chen Qing did not give orders to pursue them. They captured three prisoners of war, enough to understand the enemy's situation.

"Take them down and interrogate them separately!"

Corps leader Zheng Ping led a few of his men to grab their hair and drag the three of them down.

Chen Qing sat on a boulder with some exhaustion, killed three thousand enemies, and lost two thousand himself. In this battle, they killed nine Jurchen cavalrymen and captured three alive, but they also lost six brothers themselves, which can only be considered miserable. Victory!

If they hadn't killed the opposing centurion themselves, or if the Jurchen cavalry hadn't underestimated the enemy and didn't wear armor, they would definitely be the ones who lost today.

Realizing the strength of the Jurchen cavalry, if the Bazi army meets the main force of the enemy cavalry, the entire army will definitely be wiped out, Chen Qing became anxious.

……

The result of the interrogation surprised Chen Qing. The main force of Wanyan Zongbi's [-] cavalry was thirty miles to the east. They did find the trail of the Eight Character Army yesterday, and they were waiting for the Eight Character Army to appear.

Time was extremely short, Chen Qing hastily buried the bodies of his comrades-in-arms, killed three prisoners of war, and immediately led his men to rush north.

A quarter of an hour later, Chen Qing greeted the main force of the Eight Character Army who was marching southwest.

After hearing Chen Qing's report, Li Jiang was also taken aback, and immediately led him to Wang Yan.

"Report to Commander-in-Chief, Chen Dutou has received information that Wanyan Zongbi led ten thousand cavalry is thirty miles to the east."

Wang Yan looked solemn. This information was very timely and the situation was serious. Once the enemy cavalry came, they would be wiped out.

He had already realized that they might not be able to escape this calamity.

Chen Qing thought of a countermeasure on the way. He clasped his fists and said, "Qizhi is only [-] miles away from the Weishui River, and there happens to be a pontoon bridge over there. If we divide an army to block the enemy, we can buy time for the main force." Retreat, maybe there is still a chance!"

Lieutenant General Fu Xuan's eyes lit up, and he quickly whispered: "Commander, this is indeed a good idea!"

Wang Yan sighed in his heart, this is to let a small number of brothers die in exchange for the majority of soldiers to live!

Although Wang Yan couldn't bear it in his heart, he still accepted the only feasible solution.

"Bring the life and death sign!"

Chapter 6 The Dead

Fu Xuan came to Chen Qing's side and said with a sneer, "You never imagined that you would be trapped in a cocoon, right?"

Chen Qing took out the lottery he had drawn, and it turned out to be a birth lottery. Fu Xuan was stunned, "Then why did you stay?"

Chen Qing broke the stick, looked at Fu Xuan calmly, and said, "At the critical moment of life and death, not everyone will seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. It is the scout's duty to cover the retreat of the main force. If unfortunately, it is my honor to die for the country, Chen Qing !"

After finishing speaking, Chen Qing stopped looking at Fu Xuan, turned around and urged the horse to leave.

Fu Xuan stared blankly at the broken birth lottery on the ground. After a long time, he let out a long sigh and urged his horse to run south.

……

The soldiers drew lots while running, and those who got the dead lot stayed.

There is no farewell, no encouragement, and life and death are decided at the moment of drawing lots.

Five thousand of the main force ran away, leaving one thousand soldiers alone in the wilderness.

Chen Qing suddenly found out that Li Jiang had also stayed, "Commander, why did you stay?"

Li Jiang smiled faintly, "I have drawn a death lottery, so of course I have to keep it. Besides, there must be a commander to lead the thousand brothers!"

"Fucking Fu Moshan, he obviously got the death lottery, but he refuses to keep it!"

It was Liu Wu who spoke, and Zhao Xiaoyi had drawn a death lottery, but he chose to stay without drawing a lottery. They had crawled out of the dead, and they were already pessimistic about life and death.

Li Jiang shook her head, "At the moment of life and death, everyone will make their own choices, we just need to be worthy of our own conscience, Chen Dutou, let the brothers gather!"

……

A thousand soldiers quickly assembled.

"We all know what the next fate will be. Death is not terrible. When the national disaster is imminent, everyone will die, but there is a difference in death. Is it trampled to death like an ant, or die like a man?"

Li Jiang's voice became louder and louder, "We are all soldiers, how lucky the soldiers are to die on the battlefield, brothers, future generations will remember us, today, let the Jurchen Tartars taste our power!"

Li Jiang raised his spear and shouted, "Kill the Jurchen Tartars!"

A thousand soldiers raised their spears and shouted, "Kill the Jurchen Tartars!!"

At this moment, Chen Qing's blood was boiling with enthusiasm, and he wished he could join the battlefield immediately and fight to the death with the enemy!

Li Jiang raised Chen Qing's hand high and shouted: "Brothers, this is Chen Dutou. From now on, he is my deputy general. If I die in battle, he will be the main general. Let the army go!"

Li Jiang and Chen Qing led the army and rushed eastward. Less than ten miles away, the ground began to tremble, and a black line appeared several miles away, and above the black line was a piece of red and yellow mud.

The [-] cavalry led by Wanyan Zongbi finally arrived.

"Array of spears!"

A thousand Song troops quickly formed a thirty by thirty spear phalanx. This is the best tactic for infantry against cavalry, using collective strength to fight against enemy cavalry.

Li Jiang and Chen Qing immediately stood in the middle of the army formation, looking at the approaching Jurchen cavalry, their murderous aura filled the world.

Li Jiang smiled lightly, "Chen Dutou, you got a birth lottery, right?"

Chen Qing nodded, and said calmly: "This is my strategy, of course I want to stay!"

Li Jiang took out his lottery, which was also a birth lottery.

Chen Qing was taken aback, "Why, General?"

"You are my subordinate, if you stay, how can I run alone?"

The two looked at each other and laughed.

Chen Qing suddenly felt something, and when he turned around, not only Liu Wu and Zhao Xiaoyi were there, but none of his dozen or so scouts left, they all followed behind him silently.

Chen Qing's nasal cavity choked suddenly, and tears welled up uncontrollably.

……

[-] cavalry came rushing forward. They spotted the Song army on the opposite side, slowed down quickly, and finally stopped a mile away. The Jurchen cavalry were all wearing leather caps and iron armor, holding bows and spears, like a wall. The impenetrable black wall, with banners unfurling, is murderous.

With a thousand Song soldiers in front of them, it was like an ant facing a giant beetle.

Coach Wanyan Zongbi sneered, Mantis also wanted to block the car?

"Commander, these Song soldiers must have been sent by Wang Yan to delay time."

"Of course I know this little trick, but how long do they think they can delay?"

Wanyan Zongbi raised his saber and shouted sharply: "Attack! Run down these ants to death."

The [-] Jurchen cavalry launched again, like an unstoppable black tide, sweeping towards the [-] Song Army infantry.

The first thing that came was the overwhelming arrows, shooting at them in black.

The moment of life and death finally came, Li Jiang raised his spear and shouted, "Brothers, fight for the country, die without regret!"

"Fight for the country, die without regret!"

Thousands of Song soldiers shouted in unison, and they raised their shields to resist the dense arrows like locusts. The spears quickly formed an army formation, pointing at a 45-degree angle in the air, half squatting, and resisting the cavalry with their sharp spear points. Powerful impact.

The war horses swept in like a gust of wind, crashing into the spear array of the soldiers of the Song Army like a storm...

"Ah!" Dozens of soldiers of the Song army two rows in front screamed and were knocked into the air, their bodies were torn apart in the air, filled with blood mist, but horses were also stabbed by spears, and the golden soldiers on horseback screamed When he landed, he was trampled into mud by the horses behind him.

Soldiers of the Song Army were continuously knocked into the air by the rushing horses, but more and more corpses were piled up in front of the battle. After nearly 200 soldiers of the Song Army were killed in battle, the powerful shock wave of the Jurchen cavalry finally stopped.

Li Jiang shouted, "Attack to Shuai Qi!"

Eight hundred Song sergeants got up one after another, stepped on the corpses all over the ground, and killed the enemy commander's banner directly in front.

"No!"

Chen Qing shouted: "Attack to the northeast!"

Li Jiang was stunned, and Chen Qing observed carefully. He found that there were at least [-] armored cavalry around Shuaiqi, and they were going to die in the past.

On the contrary, the enemy cavalry in the northeast are all leather armor, and should not be Jurchen cavalry.

"There are no Jurchen cavalry in the northeast, there is hope of breaking through!"

Li Jiang smiled bitterly in her heart, do they still have hope of living?

But he changed his order, "Attack to the northeast!"

Eight hundred soldiers of the Song Army changed direction and followed the general to kill in the northeast direction. Wanyan Zongbi ordered coldly: "Surround them and kill them!"

"Ugh-"

The low sound of antlers resounded through the earth, and layers of cavalry surrounded them.

In a moment, [-] Song soldiers were completely swallowed up by [-] cavalry.

……

The soldiers of the Song Army were surrounded and killed by [-] cavalry, and the number was getting smaller and smaller. They fought desperately, no one was afraid, and no one retreated. They were extremely brave. Many soldiers died with each other. few.

Wanyan Zongbi sighed slightly in his heart, "If the Song army were so brave and fearless of death, how could the Song Dynasty be destroyed?" '

Sighing again, Wanyan Zongbi still took off his strong bow, put on a spiked arrow, and aimed at the general of the Song army.

' Whoosh! 'A cold arrow shot away.

Li Jiang, who was fighting fiercely with dozens of enemy troops, was unable to dodge, and was shot in the forehead by Wanyan Zongbi's arrow. With a scream, he fell off his horse and was instantly pierced by dozens of spears.

"General—"

Chen Qing hissed loudly, and he watched the enemy army chop off Li Jiang's head with an axe. At this moment, Chen Qing's eyes were bloodshot.

When he turned around, there were only two hundred people left under his command.

"Flee with me!"

Chen Qing endured his grief, roared, killed several people in a row, opened a bloody path, and led the soldiers of the Song Army to break through to the northeast.

To the northeast is indeed not the Jurchen cavalry, but the Khitan cavalry who surrendered, about 2000 people, led by the commander-in-chief Wanyanpo Luhuo.

Chen Qing led his army into the Khitan army and immediately felt less pressure.

This is a very subtle feeling. Although the Khitans are as powerful as the Jurchen cavalry, they are not willing to sacrifice their lives.

Facing the soldiers of the Song Army who were all burned, they retreated immediately after a battle, and more often shot arrows at the soldiers of the Song Army from a distance.

After killing the enemy general, Wanyan Zongbi no longer cared about the remaining [-] remnants of the Song army, and entrusted the Khitan Department with the task of completely annihilating the remnants of the Song army.

But Wanyan Zongbi could see clearly from a distance, the attitude of the Khitan soldiers who refused to give their lives made him furious.

"Go and tell Po Luhuo that if the Song army breaks through, he will come to see you!"

Wanyan Poluhuo was terrified and led hundreds of cavalry to kill him. He swung the copper hammer and took the lead. When he met Chen Qing head-on, Wanyan Poluhuo roared and smashed his hammers down.

Chen Qing had already put his life and death on the line, he didn't dodge at all, he stabbed the opponent's chest fiercely, and died together with the opponent.

Wanyan Po Luhuo sensed the other party's determination, he hesitated for a moment, should he avoid the other party's desperate efforts?

In a thought, the double hammers paused in the air, but Chen Qing's iron spear pierced into his chest without hesitation.

'puff! ’ The tip of the spear pierced through the heart, Wanyan Poluhuo yelled and died immediately.

"The commander is dead!"

The Khitan cavalry was in chaos, and Chen Qing saw the last chance.

He roared and killed more than a dozen people in a row. The morale of the soldiers of the Song Army was high, and they followed Chen Qing to open a bloody road. Chen Qing led more than 100 men to rush out of the enemy's encirclement and ran to the north.

At this moment, Wanyan Zongbi didn't want to procrastinate any longer, Wang Yan might really escape if he procrastinated any longer.

"Assemble the whole army and chase down the main force of the enemy army towards Weishui River!"

"Woo—" the horn blew.

The Jurchen cavalry regrouped one after another.

But this does not mean that Wanyan Zongbi let go of the remnants of the breakout army, especially the enemy general who killed Wanyan Po Luhuo, he would even tear his body into pieces.

"Where is Wanyan Alu?"
