Chapter 149: Scout Merit

In the army, each archer is equipped with a nine-bucket hard bow, and in order to ensure that the bow arm will not be soft when used, so the bow will not be hung when marching, so that the bow arm can rest, until the time will be hung on the bowstring, and these bows are made by the ordnance superintendent of the best bow, so each archer will look at his bow as an eyeball, very cherished.

Jiang Hai stood on the far left side of his group, the fingers of his right hand subconsciously flicked a few times, looked to the right, and checked the bows of each of his men and the arrows in front of them with his eyes.

"Relax! Don't be nervous! It's just a group of routs, what are you afraid of them doing? Look at your bears, stand up straight! Although Jiang Hai is not very old, he scolds people a bit old-fashioned.

At this time, Zhao Futang inspected the preparations of all the camps, heard Jiang Hai's words, smiled, patted him on the shoulder and laughed loudly: "Jiang Yong's courage is commendable, although the words are rough, but it is also the truth, they are just a group of routs who have been killed by the tall people, and they are already a rabble, what are you afraid of him doing?" The big guy straightened up! Hold it down, strive for one arrow at a time, and turn back to the official to personally ask for credit for you! ”

With the shouts of the officers of Zhao Futang and the Broken Battalion, the atmosphere in the camp became a little more relaxed, and everyone felt less nervous!

As the sound of people shouting and neighing from the mountain road became louder and louder, Jiang Hai spat and foamed on the ground, stretched out his hand and picked up a carved arrow with two fingers in the forest-like arrow in front of him, put it on the bowstring and shouted: "Prepare for the arrow!" ”

Liu Bao held the rear formation, fought and retreated in the mountain road, this battle was really depressed, I wanted to come out this time to establish a meritorious service, and this time it can be said that there is a good opportunity, as long as he can help King Ji seize the country, then he is basically a person who has made meritorious contributions to the founding of the country.

But they didn't think that the southern army, which they had always looked down on, seemed to be taking aphrodisiacs today, and they were so brave and good at fighting and cunning, and the first battle of Yamaguchi didn't even let them support them for half a day, so they broke through the defense line he had carefully laid out in one fell swoop, so that they fled into the mountain road in embarrassment, and these Song troops changed their previous style, and they actually chased after them without stopping, like maggots on tarsal bones, and they couldn't get rid of them no matter what.

After Liu Bao led the army to retreat into the mountain road, he personally returned to the palace, hoping that the defeat would not be too miserable, but more than 1,000 soldiers and horses following his palace were defeated twice in a row under the pursuit of the Song army, which made this retreat completely evolve into a rout.

The entire mountain trail was crowded with panicked soldiers, all of whom were so frightened by the defeat that they scrambled to escape from the cramped valley as quickly as possible, adding to the already chaotic situation.

In order to speed up their escape, they had to give up the baggage of the army, and the military tents and food were thrown everywhere, making the already narrow mountain road even narrower.

Liu Baoqi's head was beating with green tendons, I don't know which damn one, he actually abandoned the vehicle in a mountain pass, so that after he led the rear army here, he couldn't pass smoothly, so that they had to clear these discarded baggage in the pass before they could pass through the pass, looking at the chaotic situation around him, Liu Bao raised the horsewhip in his hand, and beat the soldiers who tried to overtake him through the mountain road, and loudly scolded them not to panic.

But his behavior did not alleviate the current chaos at all, it sounds good, don't panic! But there was a Song army tightly biting behind their buttocks, and they were slashed down by the Song army on the road if they ran a little slower, who could not panic?

At this time, the rebels have already run away and can't find the generals, they can't find the soldiers, they are crowded together, the leaders shout loudly and curse the surrounding soldiers, and the soldiers silently bow their heads and squeeze forward, ignoring the scolding of the leaders, at this time they are already panicked, and they just want to flee back to Huzhou quickly to have a sense of security.

Liu Bao straddled his horse, looked at the terrain of this pass, and felt that this was a good place to block the attack, as long as a small number of people could sacrifice their lives to stop the pursuers here, then it would be enough to stop the pursuers here, so that his main force would withdraw from Hongjie Mountain.

Thinking of this, Liu Bao casually pointed to a leader not far from him and shouted: "You! Give me 200 men, fortify this pass, give me an hour to resist the pursuers, and when I go back, I will reward you heavily! ”

The leader was stunned for a moment, looked around, and didn't find that Liu Bao was referring to someone else, turned his head for a while and looked at Liu Bao and pointed his finger at his nose, meaning that your name is me?

Liu Bao is so angry! scolded: "Fool, it's you, you can hear me clearly now, order two hundred people, block the pursuers here for an hour, and there will be a lot of rewards after you go back!" ”

Only then did the leader determine that Liu Bao was telling him, hesitated for a moment, and although he was dissatisfied, he still hurriedly took the order: "The small one is ordered!" ”

After saying that, he began to shout and stop some soldiers, and pulled aside to prepare to block the Song army's pursuers, and Liu Bao slowly crossed this pass in the midst of the rout.

And this leader and some unlucky soldiers stood at the pass and watched the army leave, one by one angry to death, why did the heart let me wait here to stop the pursuers? Your life is life, isn't Lao Tzu's life life? Lao Tzu came here to make a fortune, and he didn't come here to die, why!

After seeing the army bypass the mountain and disappear on the mountain road, the leader who was pointed raised his foot and kicked the ass of a stunned soldier and scolded: "What do you see? Don't prepare it for Lao Tzu yet! Waiting for you to die? ”

So these routs began to look for things, trying to block the pass, to make preparations for resistance, but the pursuit of the Holy Protector Army was too fast, they had not yet gotten a few carts to the pass stubble dead pass, a team of light horses galloped over, the Song army on the horse bypassed the mountain pass and saw these routs at the pass, roared with a spear and killed the past, the defeated soldiers in the pass were panicking at this time, I didn't expect the Song army to come so quickly, and they were even more panicked for a while.

Maybe it's the instinct to survive, a few soldiers didn't even think about it, lost the guy in their hands and turned around and ran, and the leader was a little tougher, and immediately shouted and beckoned his subordinates to put arrows to block these cavalry, so some brave guys picked up the bow and arrow, and hurriedly shot at the oncoming Song cavalry, most of the arrows lost their heads in the panic, so they only shot over the first few Song soldiers, and the cavalry that followed closely behind still maintained an accelerated state, and led the horse to jump over the robe that fell to the ground in front, With his spear whistling, he continued to rush towards the pass without slowing down.

One of the officers at the head had a carved arrow stuck in his chest armor, but as if he didn't know, he waved the saber in his hand, and rushed into the pass like lightning, and the head of a man flew into the air with blood spraying from the knife in his hand.

The rest of the cavalry followed closely behind, waving their sabers, and when they had killed the rebels who were blocking the way at the pass, they had no intention of stopping the rest of the rebels, and they turned around and fled.

And the little leader who was ordered to block saw that the Song cavalry was coming too fast, and broke through their defense line with a face, knowing that it was over, he wanted to turn around and run, but the Song cavalry was faster than him, and the Song soldiers in front of him had already rushed through the pass and ran to the front of him, this guy saw that it was over, and now he had nowhere to escape, so he turned his heart sideways, simply threw the knife in his hand to the ground, knelt on the ground with a plop, raised his hands above his head to indicate surrender, and a Song army had already rushed towards him with a horse, Seeing that this guy had lost his weapon and raised his hand to surrender, he grabbed the reins of his horse and pointed the tip of his gun at the rest of the rebels who had not yet had time to flee and shouted: "The general has an order, but those who surrender will not be killed!" ”

The remaining men, who had not yet fled, heard that the surrenderers would not be killed, and that their leaders had abandoned their weapons and surrendered, so they did not hesitate any longer, and threw down their weapons one after another, and fell to their knees with a hula.

"Stand back immediately, lean against the rocks, don't obstruct the road, retreat!" The Song soldiers on the horse continued to point their spears at these soldiers, and drove them to the side of the road like ducks, so that they could stay away from the weapons thrown on the ground, and make way for the pass.

At this time, another Song army officer arrived on horseback, looked at the situation of the pass, and said that if the rebels blocked the pass, even if the other side did not have many troops, they wanted to break through here, and it would probably take a considerable amount of Zhou Zhang to continue to pursue the enemy army, and the army behind was afraid that it would be blocked in the valley.

It turned out that this cavalry was not the main force of the Song army, but just a scout squad of the Guardian Army stepping on the white camp, at best they were only twenty people, originally they were ordered to go out for the army to check the movement of the rout in front, who knew that now the rout army has been frightened after two consecutive failed to block, and no one is on the road to stop them, so the escort officer of this scout team simply led his more than 20 people to chase and kill, and many rebels have been killed and captured along the way. If they hesitate a little, the nearly 200 enemy troops will be able to block the pass in a while, and when the time comes, it will be difficult to break through here without paying a great price.

After seeing the situation here, the scout's escort immediately ordered his men to surround and threaten the rebels who had just surrendered, driving them to immediately clear the vehicles and debris blocking the pass and clear the way for the main force in the rear.

After a while, there was rumbling footsteps and the sound of rustling from the armor in the col, and a Song army ran forward and came to the pass.

(Bad luck!) In the past two days, the network cable has been broken, and I have been forced to upload it in the Internet café, which is really depressing and stupid! )
