Chapter 713: Purgatory (Part II)

Di Qing pulled Su Jin to jump off the roof of the carriage, and said hurriedly: "Master Su dodge, remember to hide behind the rocks, this time the western thieves are coming to the real thing, you see that they all have bows and arrows in their hands, and when they enter the range, they must be a rain of arrows, but don't hurt you." ”

Su Jin laughed dumbly, Di Qing regarded himself as a powerless scholar, but he didn't know that he had seen several battles in the big battle, and he had ten lives on hand.

At this time, it is not appropriate to talk nonsense, Su Jin only said: "Commander Di will command himself, don't worry about me." ”

Di Qing turned his face, straightened the bronze mask, and shouted loudly with a dantian breath: "Brothers, this official is Di Qing of Yanzhou, everyone listen to my orders, the thief is fierce, avoid its edge first, the thief wants to shoot with a bow and arrow, everyone first hide behind the fortification, and after I give the order, we will counterattack, and do not make unnecessary casualties." ”

The soldiers were not very familiar with the accompanying officer who had appeared in recent days, and only some people secretly talked about his identity as Di Qing, the commander of the Yanzhou Zhangwu Army, but it was not confirmed. The most brave general in the ranks, even if he is a pawn, also hopes to be under the hands of the fierce general, because with these people, the battle is happy, there is no grievance, and there is a little benefit that the chance of following the brave general to make meritorious contributions and be rewarded has increased exponentially.

The Zhangwu Army in Yanzhou has recently won successive battles, and the morale of the soldiers of the entire Zhangwu Army is stronger than that of the soldiers in other places. At this moment, when everyone heard that it was Di Qing, a legendary figure in the army, who came to command, their morale suddenly rose, Di Qing was here, how could the western thieves be rampant.

Su Jin secretly envied himself, although he was also a number one, but in the minds of these soldiers, the name Su Jin was far less confident than Di Qing, but it didn't matter if he was not here, the most important thing was that the morale of the soldiers should be sufficient, and they would fight hard; In the situation where the enemy is outnumbered, no matter how little courage is lacking, there is only the life of being slaughtered.

The distance of two hundred steps is simply not called a distance under the hooves of the cavalry, and the bow and arrow can shoot people a hundred steps away, but Li Ningming endured nearly eighty steps before loudly ordering the arrows to be released, and for a time the arrows were like flying locusts 'Woo Woo' across the air and fell into the Song army array, and the carriage used as a fortification suddenly 'Tuk Tuk' burst beans, and dozens of carts instantly turned into monsters covered with spikes.

Some arrows fell directly into the Song army formation behind the fortifications, because the fortification side was selected at the slightly narrow east exit, the original intention was to narrow the enemy surface so that the enemy's formation could not be expanded, and it was used as a one-man pass, but in this way, there could only be two or three hundred people hiding under the fortifications, and the remaining more than 1,000 Song soldiers could only line up in the back; Although precautions were taken, the rain of arrows still injured many Song troops, the front was unscathed, and the rear was wounded, which shows that under the blow of long-range weapons, there is no talk of front and rear.

Eighty yards is only enough to shoot three rounds of arrows, but in fact after two rounds it is impossible to shoot any more arrows, because after two rounds they are within thirty or forty yards.

After two rounds of arrow rain, the bow and arrow were abandoned to the ground, and the Xixia soldiers re-drew the scimitar behind their backs in their hands, and with a knife in their hands, their self-confidence suddenly increased, and the distance of dozens of steps could be described as coming in the blink of an eye, and the Xia soldiers could even see the nostrils of the Song army on the opposite side of the river because of terror.

"Shoot the arrows!" Di Qing roared, first came up, shot out the arrows with the hard bow in his hand, others shot an arrow, Di Qing shot three arrows, his bow and arrow was a special multi-shot hard bow, three arrows were like meteors catching the moon, directly hitting three people, one was an arrow in the eyebrow, one was an arrow in the chin, and one was an arrow in the forehead; Di Qing aimed at the center of the eyebrows, and the one in the middle was naturally an arrow straight through the center of the eyebrows, and the two people around him were slightly different in height due to their height, so they each had a chin and forehead; However, they are all fatal, and the result is naturally to see Hades at the same time, and there is not much difference.

At the same time, the only 500 bows and arrows of the Song army poured towards the oncoming Xia soldiers, and the first to bear the brunt was the dozens of oncoming horses, and even the men and horses became hedgehogs, and they suddenly rolled and wailed.

Because the distance is too close, can only shoot in a straight line, if it is a little farther, it can be divided into direct shooting and projectile, so that it can hit both the front and the back, if the distance is too close, the projectile distance is long and time-consuming, and when the arrows fall, the enemy is afraid that they will rush to the front, so Di Qing still chooses to call the Song soldiers to shoot head-on.

The distance was so close that after the enemy rolled and fell to the ground, more than a dozen horses rolled directly in front of the fortifications with men and horses due to too much inertia, almost knocking the fortifications out of a big gap.

Di Qing shouted: "The archers retreated and raised their big guns. ”

As soon as the words fell, more than 100 extra-long 'big guns' were erected in the cracks of the big cart fortifications, saying that it was a big gun, which was really difficult, but in fact, it was just a spruce trunk with a thick arm of more than two feet, and the head was just sharpened, and even the branches and spruce needles on the trunk did not have time to remove it.

Three or four soldiers held on to a 'big gun' and pointed upward, their tails against the dug pits, and brushed at the Xia cavalry who came on horseback.

There was no room for maneuver, the sound of puff puff entered the ears, and the splattered blood was like flowers blooming all over the sky, instantly dyeing the place where the two armies met into a blood-colored earth, and some cavalry were alert, stretching out their scimitars to cut off the spruce trunks, but unfortunately these spruce trunks were too tough, and they were the powerless places for manpower to lift up the staggering, so the scimitar was only swept open a few inches, and the cut of the trunk was only half a minute, and it was not cut at all; The next moment, he could only watch as the tip of the trunk passed through his chest or the neck of a horse.

Under the force of the impact, the 'big gun' poked the enemy and then jumped upwards in an arc, and some people and horses bounced it into the air, and then fell with a bang, hitting the follow-up enemy soldiers who followed closely.

More than 100 'spears', the poles do not fall short, more than 100 horses roll off their horses, spears are to deal with the enemy's war horses, because only the war horses will cause devastating damage to the fortifications, and the cavalry on the horse either falls with the war horse, is trampled into meat by the companions behind them, or is thrown high and falls into the Song army formation behind the fortifications, and the end is naturally a chaotic knife and a corpse.

Of course, the truth is far from being as perfect as imagined, at least more than ten Western Xia cavalry due to the deviation of the position of the spear poke, resulting in them not going straight up and down, but even people and horses swept over on the ground, crushing the Song soldiers not to mention, but also destroyed seven or eight carts to form a fortified defense line.

As soon as the defense line was opened, the summer soldiers rushed up again, trying to block it but couldn't block it; The scimitar flashed, and a large number of Xia cavalry fell into a rolling gourd on the fortifications and destroyed the fortifications one after another.

The Song army relied on the geographical advantage, and the Xia army relied on the impact force, in this case, it is impossible to say who has a greater advantage, but the agile hand plays a decisive role in it, as soon as the defense line is broken, Di Qing took out a long knife, this knife is curved like a crescent moon and thin like cicada wings, there is a wind name called Shenji Wansheng Water Dragon Knife, and shouted: "Di Qing is here, and the West Thief is the head." ”

Before he could finish speaking, he jumped up, and was met with a knife, which turned the rushing enemy soldiers into two pieces of flesh and blood.

Following his footsteps is naturally the four generals of the Su family, the dynasty Mahan Zhang Long and Zhao Hu have already been uncomfortable in the back, and as soon as the defense line is broken, it is the time for them to show their skills, and dozens of good players of the Su family who came with Su Jin, plus more than 100 strong soldiers rushed up bravely to resist the Xia army and fight.

The cavalry was originally in the middle of the charge, wielding a knife to cut people like chopping melons and vegetables, but unfortunately the terrain was unfavorable, and the messy corpses plus the horizontal and vertical carts and various things had already made all the cavalry who dared to continue to charge into rolling gourds; The cramped terrain also forced their charge to end here, but fortunately, standing on the horse and condescending, the power of the scimitar still beat the Song soldiers who ran around on the ground on two legs, and under one face, the Song army fell more than ten people, and the Xia army also fell more than ten people, and the two sides fought equally.

Su Jin shouted in the back: "Shoot people first and shoot horses." ”

Di Qing suddenly woke up and shouted: "Chop the horseshoe." ”

The Song soldiers understood, and then did not jump down and fight with the soldiers on the horse, but slashed at the horse's legs, the horse did not know how to avoid, a cut accurately, and suddenly the war horses all over the ground screamed, fell dozens of horses, and fell to the horse's hooves.

Of course, focusing on dealing with the horse's legs, he naturally sold the vest to the Xia soldiers, and more than ten people cut off the horse's legs, but the back was split by the scimitar, but the return was also huge.

The battle situation changed from a stalemate to a more favorable favor for the Song army, and the cavalry behind could not come up, and the front became a live target, and more than 200 people were annihilated one after another; At the same time, Li Ningming, who found that the situation was not good, ordered the attack to be suspended, and he could see that he had lost the power of the cavalry charge, and the hand-to-hand combat at the narrow intersection was his own short attack on the enemy's strength, and he had to rearrange the charge to succeed.

Di Qing stopped the soldiers who wanted to pursue, and led the people to retreat, and the entrance to the east end of the eagle's beak cliff, which was still bloody just now, was suddenly empty again, and there were mountains of corpses piled up everywhere, and the monks were spinning around the broken leg war horses that were screaming in place, and the scene was terrible.
