Chapter 81 Liang Shankou IV
Murong Saburo and Ma Shiyi Lang are both Youyan Han'er, although the Liao State has paid more and more attention to cultural governance since the Xingzong Dynasty, and has greatly promoted Buddhism, and also engaged in imperial examinations, but the martial style is still much stronger than that of the Great Song Dynasty.
Even the Han people in China and the children of the Bohai clan are all Yunwen and Yunwu, if they can only die studying, they will be Jinshi, and there is no good future at all.
Besides, the military system of the Liao State is also different from that of the Great Song Dynasty, relying not on professional mercenaries, but on the law of the integration of soldiers and people, and all people between the ages of 15 and 50 must be subordinate to the military register. It is the people of the Yanyun Han people, and they are no exception, they are all farmers and soldiers, serving in turns, and they also have to prepare some of their own armor, grain and grass, which are similar to the government soldiers of the Sui, Tang and Northern Zhou dynasties.
Although this kind of military service system increased the burden on the people and was not very beneficial to production, it also strengthened the people's military force and martial spirit, and at the same time, the Han people in the Yanyun area had to base themselves on force.
After all, the 1.2 million Jingzhou soldiers can provide more general positions than those taken in the imperial examination of the Liao State, and it is much easier to get the status of a military attache of the Liao State than to be admitted to the Jin Shi of the Liao State.
Moreover, the Liao side has always been heavy on military force and light on literature! There is no rule that civil officials and military officials are the only one......
Because of the above reasons, most of the children of the Yanyun clan are proficient in martial arts, and most of them are proficient in kung fu on horseback.
Murong Saburo and Ma Shiyi Lang were obviously the best among them, so they saw them come out of the herd of horses with their mounts, quickly put on their saddles, and took their horse bows, feather arrows, sacks, and a straight knife, and then turned over and got on their horses, and rushed out of a newly opened mouth in the chariot formation.
At this time, the heroes of Liangshan had just taken out the dry food and wine, and had only eaten two bites, when they heard the sentry brother shouting: "The wind is tight!" The wind is tight......"
Chao Gai, Wu Yong, and a leader named Li Jinyi were still sitting on horseback, chewing the cooking cakes that had already been cooled, while watching the "Zhangjia Car Formation", and they were all shocked to see the two horses rushing out of the car formation.
Wu Yong furrowed his eyebrows, "The big boss, they are two horsemen, and their riding skills are quite handsome, I don't want the Zhang family in Yucheng to have such heroes......"
Chao Gai didn't dare to slack off, and ordered repeatedly: "Quick, quickly form a formation, the archers are in front, and the spears are in the back!" ”
Although there are more than 100 foot soldiers under his command, because they are doing crimes in other places this time, they ran from Liangshan to Daze Township in Pei County, and there are many checkpoints to pass on the way, so naturally they can't be fully armed. Therefore, among the more than 100 people, there were less than 20 people wearing paper armor, carrying only thirteen or fourteen shields, and few long-handled blades. Most of them only have a single sword, and at most one is a step bow of seven or eight buckets.
It was very difficult for such light infantry to resist the cavalry general's charge...... Even if the other party only has two horses, and it is not a heavy ride with "A Riding Equipment", you must deal with it carefully.
Under the shouts of Chao Gai and Li Jinyi, another leader of Liangshan, the Liangshan infantry couldn't eat breakfast, and they all raised their blades and shields to form a sparse phalanx.
At the moment when the heroes formed a formation, Murong Saburo and Ma Shiyi Lang had already controlled the war horses, and rushed to the left front and right front of the Liangshan phalanx thirty or forty steps away respectively, and almost at the same time turned the horse's head sideways, crossed in front of the Liangshan heroes array, and opened their bows and arrows, and threw out four or five feather arrows.
The feather arrow drew a perfect arc in the air, and then with the sound of the wind breaking through the air, it pounced on the formation of Liangshan's footmen, and immediately shot down the two heroes. One of them was shot through the neck with a sharp arrow, and before he could scream, he fell to the ground with a pop. Another person was hit by an arrow in the shoulder, and the crying father and mother screamed.
Zhang ...... Shoot! ”
There were also archers on Liangshan's side, who were actually quite methodical, with two rows in front of the infantry formation, and a small leader commanding the salvo.
Twenty or thirty feather arrows were fired out in an instant, but they were useless against small targets moving at high speed, and the bows and arrows all fell behind the buttocks of Murong Saburo and Ma Shiyilang.
After rushing in front of the Liangshan infantry formation, Murong Saburo and Ma Shiyi Lang began to outflank the two wings. There were few archers in Liangshan, and they were all concentrated in front of the formation, and there were no on the flanks and flanks. Therefore, Murong Saburo and Ma Shiyi Lang slowed down their horses and shortened the distance to facilitate archery.
In the blink of an eye, the two of them each shot seven or eight arrows, and three more people fell in the Liangshan array, but they didn't lose their lives for the time being, and they screamed miserably.
"Big boss, a certain family is going to meet that straight thief!"
Seeing the casualties of his subordinates, Li Jinyi, the four leaders of Liangshan, was immediately annoyed, pulled out a straight knife, and shouted loudly to fight.
Chao Gai was also a little angry, and after a while, six Liangshan heroes lay down, and the other party was not even injured at all.
If he wants to fight like this, the more than 100 Liangshan heroes he brought will be dispersed in a short time!
Thinking of this, Chao Gai himself pulled out the straight knife, and he was about to fight with Li Jinyi. But Wu Yong on the side shouted: "Brother, slow down!" ”
Chao Gai glanced at Wu Yong, and Wu Yong said: "There are only two cavalry generals today, the big leader and the fourth leader, if there is a mistake, what morale do the brothers have?"
It's better to take advantage of the morale of the brothers now, rush to the past, and take down the car formation in one fell swoop with the strength of the crowd! ”
Wu Yong, the military advisor, is really somewhat useful, and the proposed plan is the most reasonable. Now the advantage of Liangshan's side is that there are many people, and if you want to fight the cavalry, only Chao Gai and Li Jinyi can fight. However, their martial arts are not the opponents of Lin Chong, Lu Qian, and Wu Song, and they are about to rush out to ride and fight, and they will definitely give their lives.
If the big boss dies, what morale does the remaining Liangshan minions have? We're going to have to break up right away!
Chao Gai was not a person who did not listen to persuasion, so he immediately pointed his straight knife forward and said loudly: "Sons, there are 100,000 treasures in the chariot array in front of you, and you can drink wine in a big bowl and eat meat in large pieces, and divide gold and silver in a big way,...... Rush me!
Straight lady thief, who dares not to move forward, will eat me first! ”
"Rush!"
"Kill!"
As soon as they heard that there was wine, meat, gold and silver, the minions of Liangshan suddenly came to their strength, and regardless of Murong Saburo and Ma Shiyi Lang fighting beside them, they began to charge towards the car formation with a roar, but as soon as they charged, the formation immediately dispersed.
Chao Gai, Li Jinyi, Wu Yong and Zhao Tieniu all put on paper armor and rode horses to follow the formation.
In the eyes of Lin Wancheng, Lin Chong, and Lu Qian, this kind of rushing up is tantamount to child's play. However, Wu Haogu, who had no military experience, was scared enough, and his whole body was trembling. If it weren't for the fact that he didn't know how to ride a horse, he might have to take the horse with Pan Qiaolian and leave at this time.
Pan Qiaolian was not much stronger than him, her face was pale and she was so nervous that she couldn't speak. As for her maidess, the little bottle sat on the ground and sobbed secretly, and her little face was already covered with tears.
"Da Lang, Pan Xiaolang, don't panic." Ximen Qing was light and light, not afraid at all, and comforted Wu Haogu and Pan Qiaolian with a smile, "In laymanship, it is common to fight and kill, the first time you are afraid, it is good to get used to it later." ”
What the?
It's all like this, or is it a common thing?
And get used to it......
Wu Haogu was cool, and said in his heart: What kind of business do you Ximen family do? Drugstores or armed drug traffickers?
"Outside of Simon, can you shoot arrows?" Lin Wancheng suddenly ordered Ximen Qing's general at this time.
"Yes!" Ximen Qing replied.
"Then let's shoot the first battle with Lin Chong, Lu Qian, and the old man!"
Archery is not only about skill, but also about strength. The average archer is almost exhausted after shooting twenty arrows (finger bows) in one burst, and his arms are sore, and he can't pull the bow. Young generals like Lin Chong, Lu Qian, and Wu Song are naturally more powerful, and they can shoot the bow more than 30 times.
Therefore, Lin Wancheng must make reasonable use of the few "archers" at hand, and he can't send them all out, if he exhausts all his strength, he won't be able to fight a protracted war...... If Liang Shankou can last.
In addition, Lin Wancheng also had to arrange for a counterattack, and he also needed good hands to take the lead, so what the old man used to deal with the first wave of attacks in Liangshan was himself, Lin Chong, Lu Qian, and Ximen Qing's four step bows, plus the two horse bows of Murong Saburo and Ma Shiyi Lang, who were guerrilla outside.
"Order!"
Ximen Qing answered, then took out his horn bow, walked two steps, and got into a big cart. Then he took out a feathered arrow and lightly rested it on the bowstring. A series of actions showed a smooth flow, and it seemed that it was really not the first time he had fought and killed people.
