1419 Bloody Battle at Yingmen
On the real battlefield, in fact, there are very few so-called 100-man enemies or 1,000-man enemies, after all, war is never a one-person affair.
But there are no absolutes in everything, and some people seem to be born for war, such as Shi Min.
On the battlefield at this moment, because the general Su Hai fell off his horse, the Jin army took the opportunity to fight back, and the reinforcements of the Jin people arrived on the battlefield first, and the hundreds of troops on the field were completely powerless, so they could only let the Jin army divide and slaughter.
But as Shi Min rushed into the battlefield, the tide of battle was reversed in an instant. The spear in his hand flew out, and the absolute strength and speed made the Jin army's hard, even capable of breaking the armor of the Jin army's spear like paper paste, a Jin army knight did not have time to dodge the action, and was stabbed by this huge force, the armor on his body suddenly cracked, and his body was thrown up like debris, and smashed on the comrades and horses in the rear.
"Hebei has its own husband, how can the southern thief be insulted!"
At this moment, Shi Min, the man and the horse are one, like a tiger, with two blades or thorns or hooks, and his people are vertical and horizontal, and the Jin army rangers are unable to parry at all, and they are generally harvested one by one when they enter the weeds.
Seeing that the main general was so fierce and invincible, the soldiers of the Jin army were also excited, and they directly crashed into the cavalry formation of the Jin army along the bloody road of the general. The soldiers of the Jin army on the battlefield were still trying to maintain the formation, but it was only in vain under the fierce impact of the Jin army, especially where Shi Min went, there seemed to be a strong wind enveloping and pressing, and the people and horses could not stop it.
"Kill the Fallen Horse General first!"
Several Jin army rangers, ignoring the cavalry of the Jin army that swept in the rear, just stared at the general Su Hai, who was surrounded by several soldiers and wandered in the battle formation. The goal was determined, the killing intent was resolute, and several soldiers around Su Hai were soon harvested and ambushed by the Wangshi war knife, and one of the Wangshi soldiers jumped on his horse, roaring and swinging his knife to slash at Su Hai, who was already completely uncovered.
"General save me!"
Although the general Su Hai was also brave, when his life and death were in danger, his face was distorted in fright, and he closed his eyes and screamed. Seeing that the sword that was slashing straight down was about to reach his body, he paused suddenly, and a strong force collided behind him, and a bloody blade went straight out of the chest of the Jin cavalry!
"If so-and-so is here, who can harm my general!"
Shi Min laughed wildly, leaped on his horse, reached out and grabbed it, and the two-edged spear that had just broken through the Jin cavalry returned to his hand again.
At the same time, the knight of the Jin army was shot with bloody arrows on his chest and back, and he fell off his horse, but his eyes had not completely lost their brilliance, he fell to the ground on his back, his arm holding the knife trembled, but he quickly fell, blood gushed out of his throat, and he let out a hoarse roar: "Kill the thief, kill the ......"
This kind of pawn in front of the battle, Shi Min killed not one thousand but eight hundred, naturally he would not pay too much attention, and the halberd in his hand leaned out and pushed the mount of the dead Jin knight to the side of the general Su Hai, and said in a condensed voice: "Get on the horse, kill with me again!" ”
"The general is mighty!"
Su Hai was in a desperate situation, looking at Shi Min's eyes full of reverence, he picked up a Jin army sword lost on the battlefield and turned over on his horse, followed closely behind the general, holding the knife in both hands, and frantically slashed towards the Jin cavalry who had collapsed in formation, wanting to double the torture that was chased and almost killed before.
At this time, the battle situation on the battlefield had been completely reversed, the Jin army's cavalry formation had collapsed, and the soldiers had already been scattered everywhere under the impact of the Jin army, and it was difficult to gather. And with the brave rush of the main general, the soldiers of the Jin army were also greatly boosted at this time, and they followed behind the general and continued to harvest the lives of the soldiers of the Jin army.
was able to stand out among the heroes of the country and stand out, Shi Min did not rely on the relationship between the lord and the grandson.
Especially after Xiangguo formed his own troops and began to really lead an army to fight abroad, with his own bravery, he soon won the hearts of the people from top to bottom of the army, and it is precisely because of the leadership of such a strong general that these soldiers who have been in Xiangguo for only a year can grow up quickly and become the leading army of the country.
Shi Min was chasing and killing those Jin army rangers, and at the same time, he was also observing the killing performance of the soldiers under his command, and there was no lack of pride in his heart. This is an elite army that is truly in his own hands, created and polished by him, and it is also the biggest reliance for him to be famous in China and have a place in the future!
In the distance in the Jin army's camp, the sound of Mingjin retreating troops sounded, and at the same time, a large number of foot soldiers poured out of the front of the array camp to meet the cavalry that had fled and returned.
After achieving this victory, Shi Min originally planned to stop in moderation, regardless of the number of enemies killed in this battle for the time being, the many horses and equipment lost by the Jin army on the battlefield alone were a lot of gains.
But when he saw the guard of honor of the generals behind the Jin army on the opposite side, his mind suddenly changed. In the past few months, he has been active in the forefront of the battle with the Jin army, and he is naturally no stranger to the various specifications of the Jin army's generals' honor guards.
"Don't clean up the battlefield first, order the cavalry of the rear battalion to attack with the whole army, and follow me to capture and kill the enemy general!"
After thinking for a while, Shi Min gave the order directly, and at the same time, he rushed towards the enemy camp first.
Originally, according to Shi Min's assumption, he did not plan to have any decisive battle with the Jin army on the east road, so he used troops to the east, which was intended to attack Linqing, an important town in southern Hebei of the Jin army, and then the Jin army in the Bohai Sea returned to defense, so that his plan could not be realized, and he had to continue to increase troops to prevent the Jin army on the east road from approaching Guangzong, and at the same time buy time for the final withdrawal of the Guangping County layout.
The Jin army is naturally not an opponent that can be crushed at the touch of a button, although Shi Min himself is extremely brave, but he is not confident that he can win every battle and defeat thousands of Jin army in an endless stream, and he has no need for this.
At present, he lacks a prominent military exploit to withdraw to the country, and the sudden appearance of the Jin army on the opposite side made him see an opportunity.
If he can kill or capture the Jin general, it is definitely a great achievement, and if he can cause the collapse of the Jin army in this regard, it will be even better, he can just take advantage of the situation to sweep south of the Qing Dynasty, seize the large amount of assets stored there by the Jin army, in addition to great merit, his own strength can also be multiplied.
Even if he can't take advantage of the situation to capture Linqing, his great merit of capturing and killing the heavy generals of the Jin army is enough to show his merits to the country, and he can also ask to return to Xindu to rest and recuperate under the pretext of too much battle damage, avoiding the confrontation with the Jin army on the frontal battlefield to preserve his strength.
Of course, he didn't expect that such a high-ranking general suddenly appeared on the opposite side, and the strength of the Jin army must have increased. But now that the new victory is coming, the morale is strong, and there is no reason to hold back. Compared to the huge gains that follow the success, this risk is definitely worth the risk!
The Jin army on the opposite side has been laid out rapidly, and about 2,000 soldiers have been assembled into a formation, and the strength of the troops displayed at the moment has exceeded the understanding of the strength of the Jin army after many days of fighting, which shows that the Jin army has indeed increased its troops.
However, at the moment, Shi Min was strong, and he didn't care about it, so he came out first, and hundreds of elite riders under his command followed. However, they were still dozens of zhang away from the Jin army formation on the opposite side, and the Jin soldiers on the opposite side had already begun to shoot with their bows, and dense arrows rained down like dark clouds!
Rao is Shi Min is arrogant, and he does not dare to underestimate the power of the Jin army's arrow array, the Jin army is famous for its strong use in the world, and there is still the power of three arrows at such a distance, no matter how brave he is, after all, he is only flesh and blood, so he rushes forward, but he is afraid that he will be shot into a hedgehog before he reaches the halfway.
Because he hurriedly turned his horse to the side, he was able to avoid the frontal arrow formation of the Jin army, and continued to charge towards the gate of the Jin army camp from the left flank.
The battle formation of 2,000 foot soldiers was laid on the flat ground, so naturally it could not put on a grand and strong formation, and in fact, the battle formation of 2,000 people could only cover a few square feet in front of it. A thousand crossbowmen were in the center, and on each wing were five hundred sword and shield pawns.
There were only more than 2,000 cavalry here, and the rest of the cavalry troops were still stationed in Guangping to supervise the camps of the Jin army. There were about thousands of people attacking in the previous battle, and as Shi Min ordered the whole army to attack, more than 1,000 cavalry troops rushed out of the camp of the Jin army and rushed towards the camp of the Jin army.
The thousands of cavalry rushing from this frontal battle formation successfully attracted the frontal fire of the Jin army's bow and crossbow, and Shi Min, who swam to the left flank of the formation, also approached the Jin army's camp defense at this time. Although there were also Jin soldiers left behind in the barracks, the stray arrows fired were far less powerful than those on the frontal battlefield.
After avoiding the frontal shots, Shi Min led hundreds of rangers to make an arc on the battlefield, and then clinged to the defense line outside the Jin army's camp and rushed straight to the sword and shield battle array on the left flank of the Jin army.
The Jin army was not tightly formed, and the swords, shields, bayonets, rifles, armbands and crossbows and other equipment in the army were clearly layered, and the division of labor was orderly. When the cavalry of the Qiang army rushed over, they first shook the formation with the horse bow and arrows, but the effect was minimal, and even the nearly two stone strong bows and arrows used by Shi Min were only deep in the cowhide shield, although there were few feathers, but after all, there were no actual casualties.
The Jin army's bayonet spear was two feet long, almost a small horse-resisting stake, and the sharp edge of nearly three feet long was dull, but no one dared to doubt its sharpness.
A full hundred bayonet spears poked out of the front line, which also made the cavalry of the Qiang army have to adjust the direction of the charge when bullying the melee formation, which greatly reduced the speed of the charge. But if you don't dodge the sharp edge of the spear, there are many war horses that directly hit the sharp blade of the front of the spear, or the horse's neck is pierced, or the horse's abdomen is split, and the blood and internal organs are drenched and sprinkled!
Shi Min's divine power is unparalleled, brave and unmatched, he can still directly smash the Jin army's front bayonet spear with the hook halberd in his hand, but the soldiers behind him do not have this amazing bravery, the horse's head turned slightly, the speed has been reduced, and when he rushed forward, he met the Jin army's horse chopping knife, the blade that was half a zhang long and slashed down fiercely, no matter how long the people and horses were spared!
But even if it was a fluke that a pawn in front of him blocked this fierce knife, the lance poked out like a poisonous snake. Even if the soldier has the bonus of the momentum of the war horse, where can the simple spear in his hand compare to the tough spear, or if there is a personality to block and sideways to avoid this killing move, the sound of a rushing and killing roar will be heard in his ears!
The arm crossbow equipped in the Jin army sword and shield battle array is much smaller than that in the bow and crossbow array, the operation is flexible, three arrows are fired in a row, and the skilled soldiers can fire nine arrows in a row within ten breaths, in order to ensure this kind of dexterity, the arrows used are not more than a foot, almost a sharp iron core, once the distance is opened, no matter the accuracy or range can not be guaranteed, but in this close distance of hand-to-hand combat with each other, it is a sharp weapon that harvests human lives!
Shi Min smashed the bayonet spear with a hook halberd, depressed the sword, and smashed the hard-shelled shield at the same time, and even the big lance that was obliquely picked up to the ribs was separated by an elbow, and the flying spear pierced the crossbowman, and the small formation was broken between breaths, but his eyes glanced to the side, and his face changed suddenly, because in addition to him, the dozens of people who rushed to the forefront with him were almost all tortured and killed by this small formation of the Jin army!
"Damn it!"
Shi Min's face sank, leaned over and grabbed a Jin soldier lance, struggled to turn the horse's body, struck the lance horizontally, and smashed through two Jin army small formations one after another, so that the rear road soldiers followed him and squeezed into this military formation gap.
At this time, Shi Min was only a few feet away from the camp gate behind the Jin army's formation, and when he looked up, he could see a heavily armored general standing under the banner of the Jin army's rear formation.
The general's face was square, and there was no lack of arrogance in his expression, as if he noticed Shi Min's gaze, and his person raised his right arm, raised his thumb, and slowly made a throat-slitting motion around his neck.
Shi Min was slightly stunned at first when he saw this, and after a while, he was already furious, even if he didn't understand the meaning of this action, the undisguised contempt in the other party's eyes still made him feel ashamed.
"The thief will take his life!"
He roared, waved his arm and shook the big lance he snatched, and directly swept away the dozen or so Jin soldiers besieging him, and then waved his arms, opening and closing, to kill a bloody road, and kill the arrogant enemy general who did not know that his death was coming.
"The thief will be fierce, Shen Hou's daughter's body, please retreat for the time being......"
Standing under the banner is Shen Mu, the main general of the East Road King who has just returned to Dongwu City from the Bohai Sea, and several people are marked on his side, seeing that the enemy general is so fierce, he actually rode his horse directly to the place a few feet in front of the ceremonial car, his face changed greatly, and some people even stepped forward directly to pull Shen Mu.
Shen Mu was unaware of the tragic battle that happened a few feet in front of him, and the soldiers of the previous battle knew that the general was not far behind them, and in the face of the fierce enemy generals who were as fierce as killing gods and completely incapable of the enemy, they were still not afraid of death, and some soldiers even had to use their only little strength to hold on to the hooves of the enemy general's war horses.
"Although the thief is vicious, can he stop me from being a king? The prosthetic bones are marked, so why retreat in the slightest! ”
Shen Mu held the sword in his palm, and his eyes were locked on the brave and incomparable general Shi Min, and his gaze gradually overflowed with coldness.
Although Shi Min is still fighting, he already has a fear in his heart, he is also a fierce general, but he has little experience in such a killing array. Being able to make him, a heroic figure with a strong heart as iron, tremble, also shows how tenacious these Jin soldiers around him are, especially the main general of the enemy formation, who has been bullied by him to such a distance and still stands, but those eyes are so cold that he is like a man's back.
The war horse is tired and paralyzed, Shi Min is already dismounting and fighting, the distance between him and the enemy general has been narrowed to within three zhang, there are only a few heavy armor in front of him, and he can also see that the enemy will arch around the arch from no more than a hundred, and there are dozens of soldiers behind him who rushed into the battle formation, followed by thousands of horsemen on the frontal battlefield to disturb the enemy, even if the enemy army returns to help, he is also confident that he will fight and kill his people before the enemy general evacuates.
But the closer he became, the more frightened he became, and his instinct seemed to feel that there seemed to be a fierce beast lurking beside the enemy general, and when he got closer, he would devour his flesh and blood. This feeling became more and more obvious, so much so that it affected his killing movements. In the end, he still couldn't stand this torment, yelled at the other party, and then turned around and killed outside, no longer caring about the high-hanging fruit.
Seeing that the general was gradually moving away and did not enter the battle array, Shen Mu sneered: "Light and sharp, it is unbearable to fight!" ”
There was no shortage of representatives from various hometowns in Hebei who had followed them from Dongwu City to watch the battle, and when they heard Shen Mu's words, their feelings were extremely complicated. If it is said that the karma will not be able to fight, it is really a joke, its people rushed into the battle array, its brave and ferocious posture, everyone saw it, at this time in front of the corpse camp more than 200 people, of which nearly 100 died in the hands of the karma general. And come and go at will, and then kill with armor, calmly get on the horse and go, such a strong combat effectiveness, it is really amazing.
After saying this, but not hearing a response, Shen Mu turned his head to look left and right, and sneered: "You seem to have different opinions? ”
After everyone heard this, cold sweat was already pouring on their foreheads, and they waved their hands again and again to deny, that Shen Hou was terrifying, but this Shen Hou was not a ruthless person, the so-called son of a daughter could not sit down, watching the enemy general kill within a few zhang and still not move at all, they were already two wars, and the cold sweat had even soaked through their clothes.
"To say that he is a puppet is really to look down on him. In front of the battle, most of the kings and divisions were loyal to the dead, or they were invincible, but they had the courage to sacrifice their lives for the king's life. Like that general like a vicious, although the strength of the army, but do not know how to defend, do not know how to hold, know that I can be devoured, but do not dare to be brave and stubborn, know the danger and go, the mind is ruined, but the cunning jackal, once the power is stifled, will become a hasty lackey. ”
Shen Mu sighed a little tastelessly, raised his arm and waved, the curtain in the camp behind him was lowered, and the elite of five hundred heavy horsemen with horse armor stood silently behind.
The reason why he put up such a battle is mainly to deter the group of people in Tobu City who are still not very determined, of course, it is best to be able to directly kill the general here.
But Shen Mu attaches more importance to completely subduing the people of Dongwu City, and then whether he continues to attack the Bohai Sea, or joins forces with the Middle Route Army to attack Xindu directly, Dongwu City will be the most important rear base of the East Route Army, and there is no room for hidden dangers.
Tobu Castle is a famous town in Hebei, and the humanities are flourishing, and even the letter of the current state of Ka is still full of Tobu city and village scholars. At present, the two armies are in full swing, and it is impossible for Shen Mu to achieve the requirements of stabilizing people's hearts by wantonly liquidating and killing, especially after the army uses Dongwu City as its base camp, the service strength of various auxiliary troops also needs to be recruited nearby, and the requirements for local stability are higher.
Although he failed to snipe the general in front of him, seeing that the surrounding Dongwu Township soldiers had changed color, Shen Mu could be regarded as basically achieving his intention. As for that general Shi Min, to be honest, he really didn't take it too seriously, as he said just now, it is difficult to support big things, the fierceness is not extreme, and the cunning cannot be extreme, whether he can cut it down here is not a pity.
Five hundred heavy cavalry slowly left the camp, and at this time, Shi Min had just joined the cavalry under his command who had not yet broken through the frontal formation, seeing this scene, his forehead couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and secretly exclaimed luck.
