Beacon quenching beauty

Xinyang, named Yang in ancient times, is located in the south of Hubei and the north of Anhui. It is the thoroughfare of the three provinces, and the Huai River runs through it.To the south of the Huai River, the paddy fields are full of fields, and the rice is fragrant and the fish are leaping; to the north of the Huai River, the plain is boundless, rich in wheat and miscellaneous grains.As long as this place is occupied, there will be abundant sources of soldiers and food, so it is a battleground between the Jianghuai River and the Han Dynasty.

The imperial court sent General Tuyin and [-] elite soldiers to garrison it. Over the years, it has been rock-solid, and there have been repeated rebels who wanted to take it down. However, because of the strong garrison here, no one has captured it yet.

……

"Brother, Qi Tianbao's vanguard can't stand it anymore!"

Song Qing was surrounded by a group of personal soldiers and stood on a low hill. In front of him was a battlefield, with swords, lights and swords flying in the dust, shouting to kill and shaking the sky.

Song Wuyi was in a panic, and rushed over from the front of the formation on horseback, and said loudly, "Brother, I really can't stand it anymore, let our left and right troops go up to support!"

In this expedition, Qi Tianbao commanded 1 elite soldiers as vanguards; Song Wuyi led 2000 people and 2000 people on the left; The team is in the charge of the most affectionate Song Gaishi.There are hundreds of people left to escort grain and grass, take charge of horses and burners, barely enough for 4 horses.

Among them, Qi Tianbao's men were smaller than the left and right armies, but all of them were carefully selected and strong, and they were unparalleled in the vanguard.Although Song Qing's central army has fewer troops, only four thousand-man squadrons, there are two thousand-man cavalry squadrons, led by the chief general, who can send support to whichever side is in need. The flexibility should not be underestimated.

Song Qing looked down from a distance. The number of soldiers on his own side was obviously smaller than that of the Yuan army, and he was forced to move back slowly, because this attack was ordered to die, and he was only allowed to advance and not to retreat. cut!So from the vanguard official Qi Tianbao down, everyone gritted their teeth and desperately refused to take a step back. They fought extremely fiercely.

Waved his hand and said to Song Wuyi, "No rush, you go back first and wait for my order."

The drums of the Yuan army were accompanied by the sound of horns, and a team of thousands of people each held a long shield behind them and covered them. The shields were extremely strong and the size was several times larger than ordinary shields, almost four feet long. high.

The formation of the Yuan army was neat, and the long shields were erected in front of them row by row. Immediately, it became a large iron-clad phalanx, advancing slowly. Pushing backwards, those behind were still desperately pushing forward, trampling and hurting countless people.

Song Gaishi shouted anxiously, "Brother, hurry up and order reinforcements!"

Song Qing shook his head, "Wait a little longer."

After a while, the Yuan army dispatched four thousand-man cavalry units to rush up from the left and right flanks. Song Qing then sent an order, "Order the left and right armies to outflank and assist Qi Tianbao!"

The herald sent the order on a flying horse, and the formation of the left and right armies changed. Looking from a high place, the two groups of troops moved towards the middle like two dragons grabbing pearls. Want to stop the left and right of the rebels.

Song Gaishi said, "Brother, Qi Tianbao can't last long like this, why don't they withdraw, otherwise they will suffer heavy losses!"

Song Qing said, "Don't be afraid, he can lure out a team of thousands of iron shields and half of the armored cavalry from the Yuan army. Even if he is done, as long as he lasts for a while, this battle will be won! Take it easy and wait. Maybe I will send you to lead someone into battle."

Song Gaishi's eyes lit up. He was very convinced of Song Qing, the elder brother. Song Qing said that if he could win, he would definitely win. Although he didn't understand what it meant to be quiet and don't be impatient, he must have told him to talk less and not make noise, so Don't ask any more questions, just wait for a while. When the time comes, the eldest brother gives an order, and he will go into battle to kill the enemy.

Song Qing issued another order, "Order the front teams of the left and right armies to retreat, not to retreat the same way, but to insert into the Yuan army and rush back from the Yuan army formation!"

Song Wuyi, the commander of the left army, and Wang Daquan, the commander of the right army, had received Song Qing's instructions long before the battle. After receiving the order, they immediately understood that the flags were changed, and the individual soldiers in the front team also took off the shields they had been carrying from their backs. Dozens of people lined up in several rows to form a square formation, inserted into the Liyuan army formation at the right position, and began to rush back.

The shields of the rebel army are not the same as those of the opponents. Most of them are made of old vines. Although the utensils are different, they are equally useful. The Yuan army has many iron shield teams, but the advantage is that they are light and the team moves fast.

When the leading troops of the left and right armies retreated almost halfway, the general of the Yuan army realized that something was wrong. A brigade of the Yuan army slowly pressed up, and it seemed that the Yuan army who guarded Xinyang came out in full force.

Outside the city of Xinyang, there was a screaming and killing sound that shook the ground, blood and flesh were flying everywhere, and the tragedy was unprecedented.

The ranks of the rebels changed again, and they were divided into teams by themselves. Each team had as many as a thousand people and as few as a few hundred people.

The so-called painting of the land is to go out of the gate of heaven, enter the house of the earth, close the golden gate, and ride on the Yuyuan.This was originally a Taoist method of exorcising evil spirits and inviting immortals, and dotting the eyes to calm the nerves. It was incorporated into the martial arts footwork by the capable people of the younger generations, and the transformation of fighting against the enemy.

Zhang Sanfeng, the founder of the Wudang School, was a devout Taoist, and Song Qing, as a third-generation disciple of Wudang, learned these things since he was a child.In fact, not only Wudang, but all the major sects in the Central Plains have the inheritance of turning Qimen Dunjia, Liangyi and Bagua into martial arts.

Back then Zhang Wuji suffered the disadvantage of not knowing this way on the top of Guangming. He clearly surpassed his opponents in martial arts, but he was almost defeated by the positive and negative swordsmanship of Huashan Erlao and Kunlun He Taichong couple.

Song Qing's family has a long history. Although what he learned is all about the changing footwork of martial arts, he also knows that different routes lead to the same goal. The formation is dead, and people are alive. The front and back sword formations are four people fighting against the enemy, so he uses them when fighting. Four thousand-man teams responded to the enemy.

The Liuding Liujia formation at this time is also based on this principle, but it is more complicated. The teams of the rebels in the Yuan army have already formed a vague circle, arranged according to the gossip formation, and when they are combined, they will attack fiercely. The Yuan army was dazzled by the groups of rebels running around in front of them, and they were dizzy.

Before Song Qing started the battle, he had no way to explain to a few generals who had no foundation what Qiandui, Lizhen, Xunkan, Taiyin, and Guimei were transferred to Xun, and how Zhen's position became irresistible.Therefore, it can only be drawn in the direction of southeast, northwest, and where to go first, and then where to go, explain it step by step and let them remember it.

It was effective when used in front of the battle. Seeing that the rebel army had changed from a disadvantage at the beginning to an advantage, the Yuan army was scattered and could not take care of each other. After a long time, the army's morale would become weak, and the rebel army could defeat them separately.

While watching, he suddenly heard Song Gaish yelling, "Brother, Qi Tianbao's side can't do it anymore."

Looking up, Qi Tianbao's vanguard flag was slowly falling down, his heart tightened, knowing that the vanguard team was exhausted and exhausted, it was the end of their strength.

"Gai Shi, I will lead our two thousand cavalry to the middle to rescue Qi Tianbao. You lead the remaining two thousand-man troops to the rear! See which side is in urgent need and send a thousand-man team there to rescue. Remember, you must stay behind Here, the handsome flag must not be moved." Song Qing is also ready to do it with all his strength.

Song Gaishi was in a hurry and refused to agree, "Brother! You are the commander, let me lead the cavalry to the middle! You lead the people in the back to support."

"You can't, I'll go!"

Song Gaishi was still waiting to say more, but Song Qing had already yelled the order, and rushed out with the rein in hand.

Song Gaishi watched helplessly as he drove away with his men, and was so anxious that he was entrusted with the important task of guarding Shuai Qi, so he didn't dare to chase after him.His eyes were fixed on the cyan figure without armor until he rushed into the chaotic army and was out of sight.

I don't know how long he waited. According to the soldiers beside him, it was less than half an hour. Song Gaishi waited so desperately that his eyes were about to pop out. Finally, he saw a group of cavalry rushing back covering one person.

He rushed to meet him, and saw that the person was Qi Tianbao, he was very happy, "Okay, fifth, you can be regarded as being rescued by the elder brother, you are not missing any arms or legs, right?"

Qi Tianbao's face was covered in blood, and even his beard was covered with bright red meat residue. He looked very ferocious, and said hoarsely, "Bah, I am so powerful, who can make me lack arms and legs! I killed him !"

Song Gaishi said in his heart that you have become such a dead dog and still dare to brag, thinking that it was because of him that the charge was hard, so he didn't say much, "Where's the big brother?"

Qi Tianbao pointed back, "Behind...huh? Where's the big brother!?"

……

Song Qing and Zhang Wuji were leaning side by side in a deep ditch, panting hard, and the sound of fighting on the distant battlefield could be heard in the distance.

After panting for a while, they looked at each other again, and found that everyone's face was covered with dust and grass clippings, their clothes were so rolled that they couldn't see the eyes, and there were spots of blood on them, and only the whites of the eyes and teeth were still white on both faces. .

It's true that I haven't seen the other party in such a mess since we met, and I couldn't help laughing at each other after watching for a while.

Zhang Wuji smiled, and immediately closed the corners of his mouth, and stared at him, "Still laughing! I almost died. If I come one step later, you will..." I have lingering fears. If he comes one step later, Song Qing is afraid that he will die in chaos In the army.

For the rest of Song Qing's life after the catastrophe, although he was already dirty like a mud monkey, his legs were so sore that he was about to cramp, and his arms didn't look like his own anymore, so he could only lie half-lying and half-recumbent in this ditch, but he felt extremely relaxed. Looking at Zhang Wuji's smoky face, he wanted to laugh for no reason.

I just went around the gate of hell, and the original embarrassment has become a trivial matter, no longer important, and I am very happy to have someone who misses me like this and is willing to save me at a critical moment.

Smiling, "It's because I almost died, but in the end I was able to save my life, so I laughed. Shouldn't you laugh instead of crying when you encounter such an extremely lucky thing?"

Song Qing just rushed into the depths of the enemy army with two thousand cavalry to rescue Qi Tianbao, and when Qi Tianbao blocked from left to right and encouraged him to support him no longer, he finally rushed to him.

Just in time to see Qi Tianbao turning over and bumping off his horse, Song Qing took the lead and rode forward, chopped down several Yuan soldiers around him, and then picked up Qi Tianbao from the ground.

Taking a closer look, he immediately felt relieved, Qi Tianbao didn't suffer any serious injuries, but he was too tired, and after the horse was chopped, he went crazy, and he couldn't sit still and fell off.

Giving up his horse to Qi Tianbao, ordering his own soldiers to protect him and retreat quickly, Song Qing himself planned to grab another horse from the Yuan army.

With such a delay, he and his own cavalry were dispersed by the Yuan army. The Yuan army probably heard that the man who went into battle without armor must be the leader of the rebel army, so they aimed at him, and the soldiers surrounded him like a tide. That posture was determined, and he would be trampled into minced meat even if he stomped on it.

Song Qing was outnumbered, his fists were hard to beat with four hands, what's more, there were so many people, with more than a few hundred hands, struggling to grab a horse to break through, but he snatched two horses in a row, and it was he who just sat on it The horse's feet were chopped off by the Yuan army in front of him, and when he jumped off the ground, all kinds of weapons, spears and big knives greeted him in all directions, as dense as a net, and there was nowhere to hide.

In a critical situation, someone suddenly flew past the Yuan army's head, his movement was extremely fast, faster than riding a horse, and he came close in a blink of an eye, pulled Song Qing up and left, Song Qing felt a pang in his heart when he saw the face of the coming person. Kuan, "Master Zhang." There is no need to lose your life on the battlefield.

Relying on his excellent martial arts and strong inner strength, Zhang Wuji led Song Qing to break through many sieges.However, he was also made of flesh and blood, so it was not easy to lead a person out of the chaotic army. He ran out in a random direction for a few miles, and after making sure that there were no pursuers behind him, he sat together in this small ditch.

Zhang Wuji was really angry, but he couldn't lose his temper when facing Song Qing's handsome smiling face covered in ashes. of!"

"Didn't I go to save people? There are only a few usable talents under my command, all of whom came from Wuniuling. I'm like my brother. I can't bear to lose him here."

"Then you have to do what you can!!"

The author has something to say: Iron shield soldiers came from Jin Daxia’s Yuanli. I don’t know if Mongolian soldiers really have a record of using this type of arms; rattan shields are said to have originated in southern Xinjiang and were not introduced to the Central Plains until the middle of Ming Dynasty.However, from the Shang and Zhou dynasties, until the Han and Tang Dynasties, there are records about rattan shields. It should not be particularly abrupt to use them here, mainly because the soldiers of Song beauties are relatively poor, so they can only use rattan shields more.
