Chapter 13: Capture the Thief and Capture the King

This round of firing killed more than a dozen Jin troops, and more than a dozen Jin soldiers were slightly injured, the Jin army was immediately startled, and the Jin troops in the front raised their shields one after another, trying to block the arrows.

And Gao Huaiyuan also ignored him, and immediately ordered the crossbow to be changed, and then fired, so the villagers who held the crossbow immediately handed over the crossbow in their hands to the brothers standing under the car behind them, and the people under the car immediately handed back a loaded crossbow to them, and shot at the Jin soldiers below again.

As a result, the golden soldiers immediately fell on the uphill road in their continuous launches, and some of them rolled down with a grunt.

Looking at the front army that was beaten head-on, Uburu's mouth couldn't help but open and he was stunned, he didn't care about these Song people who tried to block them at all, thinking that he only needed to charge casually to take this pass, but he didn't expect that the other party's resistance would be so fierce, his own people had not touched the edge of the pass, so they were shot by several rounds of crossbow arrows, and a person turned on his back and retreated, so he immediately ordered: "Organize an attack for me again, and kill all these damn Song people!" ”

So this time, the Jin general of the former army of the Jin army put away his contempt for Gao Huaiyuan and the Song people, and had to pay attention to it, so he immediately gathered the defeated and retreating soldiers, regrouped under the pass, counted the losses, and began to prepare for the second charge.

Under this count, the commander who led the troops was half angry, and in just one round of attack, he lost more than forty men, including a centurion and two centurions who led the team, and this time his face was a big loss.

"The second team is on me! Shields in front, block their arrows, and the archers suppress the opposing archers! This time he did not dare to be careless, and immediately rearranged the formation, put the archers beside the shieldmen, and once again sent a centurion to lead the team to attack.

In the first contact battle, Gao Huaiyuan's side relied on the advantages of terrain and weapons, and without losing a single person, he repelled the attack of the Jin army, which immediately boosted their morale, and everyone let out a burst of cheers, and their confidence in blocking the Jin army was also suddenly sufficient.

After seeing the Jin soldiers start to organize another charge, Gao Huaiyuan once again gathered his men and began to release arrows, this time the Jin soldiers accepted the first lesson, raised the shield, shrank his head to block his body, and braved the crossbow arrows shot from above step by step, protecting the archers around him and marching towards the pass.

In this way, the losses were reduced, and most of the arrows were nailed to the shields covered with cowhides in their hands, and only a few golden soldiers were unlucky, and were knocked to the ground by the arrows that had been shot through the gaps in the shields.

Gao Huaiyuan frowned, it was not a way to fight like this, so he immediately ordered the archers to raise their crossbow arms slightly, and by shooting from the back, the arrows passed the front Jin army shield and landed in the queue of archers and spearmen behind them, which immediately increased the losses of the Jin soldiers.

But under the supervision of the officer who led the team, regardless of the casualties, the Jin soldiers continued to rush towards the cart, seeing that the Jin soldiers were getting closer and closer to the car wall, Gao Huaiyuan immediately shouted to the two rows of archers standing under the car: "Listen to my orders, shoot on your back!" ”

These archers couldn't see the scene outside, so they could only follow Gao Huaiyuan's instructions, raise their left arms, pull out their bows and arrows at an angle of thirty to forty degrees, and point them to the sky, and then, under the command of Fan Dutou, let go of their hands together and shot the arrows out.

Suddenly behind the car wall, there was a whooshing sound, and then a cloud of arrows rose, falling in front of the car wall, although the Jin army came prepared this time, but they were only in the first row of shield hands, the flat shield can prevent the arrows from the front, but it can't prevent the arrows falling from the sky, when this rain of arrows fell, there was a scream immediately from the defenseless dense formation, these arrows with a sneering sound, swishing into their crowd, It was thrust heavily into their upper bodies.

Although the Jin soldiers have armor and body protection, but their equipment level is also very average, far less than Gao Huaiyuan The elite cavalry of the Jin Army that they met for the first time is so good, most of them are leather armor, although they also have a certain ability to fly against the arrows, but it does not guarantee that they will not be injured, so after this round of arrow rain fell, one of the Jin soldiers suddenly fell, although there were not many people killed on the spot, but there were many injured people.

In this way, they disrupted their formation again, and some of the Jin soldiers and archers saw that they had also entered their range, so they began to open their bows and release arrows to counterattack the Song army above, but most of the villagers on the car were lying on the car, and it was really not easy for ordinary people to shoot them, only a few people were shot in helmets under this round of counterattack by Jin Bing, and only two of them were unlucky, they were shot at the noodles, and one was killed and one was injured, which was regarded as the first injury to Gao Huaiyuan's men.

However, the exchange ratio between the two sides was bigger than death, and the Jin soldiers paid dozens of casualties at this time, and retreated in embarrassment, so a cheer sounded on the pass again.

They felt very happy to fight such a battle, only they repaired the gold soldiers, but there was no chance for the gold soldiers to fight back, and everyone began to despise the gold soldiers at this time, thinking that the gold soldiers were nothing more than that! What is there to be afraid of!

But Gao Huaiyuan was not happy, although he repelled the Jin soldiers twice, but in essence, he also saw the danger of the situation, after all, this pass is not a city wall, and the road leading to the pass below is not very steep, the attack of the Jin soldiers is still very easy, at least as long as they are determined enough to risk death and attack with a shield at any cost, they will soon be able to reach the front of the car wall, and then they will really start to engage in hand-to-hand combat.

Although he has the confidence to fight, but after all, this group of people under his command is still a village soldier, and it is okay to fight a smooth battle, once they are put into the flesh and blood hand-to-hand combat, the ghost knows if they will be so optimistic, and there is a possibility of collapse at any time, this time is actually a greater test for them, once the car wall is lost, then there is no need to think about the next thing, as a large number of golden soldiers cross the pass, the rest of the thing is a one-sided slaughter, Gao Huaiyuan is a little afraid to think down.

At this time, as the two attacks were repelled by this group of Song people's township army, the Jin army was immediately enraged, and Uburu rode to the front army, and said angrily to the commander of the front army: "Waste! You can't even take a group of Song people and townspeople, do you want this official to go into battle in person and take down this pass for you? ”

In this way, the commander who led the army was greatly humiliated, and the commander threw off his helmet and shouted to Ubru: "The general is angry, the last general will go up in person this time, I don't believe that I can't take this pass!" ”

This time, he simply gathered all the sword and shield soldiers in the front army, and made them form a dense formation, the shields and shields were connected, the first row formed a wall of shields, and the rest of the men raised their shields above their heads, and formed a shield roof above, and immediately put these golden soldiers under the protection of the shields, and finally arranged the pikemen as the attacking force after arriving at the chariot formation, and the archers followed behind, providing them with fire cover.

After this arrangement, the commander himself went into battle and commanded the formation, while Uburu personally sat in their rear to supervise the battle.

As the drums of war sounded, the assault team formed by the front army began to advance towards the pass with the beat of the drums.

Gao Huaiyuan stood on the car and looked down at the movements of the Jin army below, when he saw them put on this formation, he was a little worried, this time the shield array of the Jin army will cancel out the advantage of their bow and crossbow, in front of such a shield array, it is difficult for the bow and crossbow fired to stop the other party from advancing, and after this situation fell in the eyes of the villagers, they immediately stopped cheering, and once again raised their hearts, and the pass gradually became silent.

After Gao Huaiyuan's brain teaser a few times, he turned his head and shouted to Fan Dutou: "You listen to my command, I will let you release the arrows and you will release the arrows again, the people in the car listen, prepare the stones and rolling wood, and when they get close, they will release the rolling wood and smash those bastards to death!" Don't be afraid, they are all fleshy, and they will still break their tendons and fractures if they are hit by stones! Zhang Qing has the swords and spearmen ready to come up to support us at any time! Gu Lao Er brought people to transport stones to us at any time, Zhou Hao, Zhou Jun, and the two of you each brought ten people, sealed both sides, everyone prepare! ”

With Gao Huaiyuan's order, everyone began to act, and the people in the car put the rolling wood on the roof of the car, and placed a lot of watermelon-sized stones behind the rolling log, and then once again under the command of Gao Huaiyuan, picked up the crossbow arrow and fired it down.

The arrows nailed to the shield made a tuk sound, and a few arrows that slipped through the net immediately burrowed into the shield array, and a scream of a golden soldier was immediately heard from inside.

Gao Huaiyuan held the big bow, stood firmly on the car, unhurriedly and carefully aimed, shot arrow by arrow, his two-stone hard bow almost caught up with the range of the strong crossbow, and he didn't need to trouble winding, a row of arrows were inserted on the sack in front of him for him to use, with his archery skills, he didn't shoot any shield at all, but specifically picked the gap between the shields, and strived to shoot every arrow into the shield array, splashing dots of blood below.

Seeing Gao Huaiyuan's superb archery skills and calm appearance, these township soldiers calmed down again, and even the Song army archers under the car had to admire Gao Huaiyuan to death, that Fan Dutou stood under the car, with a look of shame, he himself admitted that he was a head of the regular army of the Song army, and he couldn't even do half of Gao Huaiyuan's half, and he had no idea of looking down on these villagers at this time, and turned to his subordinates and shouted: "Get ready, if the Jin army attacks the car wall, you remember, we are all regular troops, We can't lose the people of our regular army! Draw your sword together, follow me to the car and beat the Jin army back! ”

Although his words were still somewhat divided between village soldiers and regular soldiers, no one cared about his words at this time, and his subordinates responded with a bang, raising their bows high and attaching their arrows.

Although Gao Huaiyuan commanded the villagers on the car to fire several rounds of crossbow arrows in a row, but the effect was far less good than the previous two, the Jin army's shield array was still steadily advancing towards the car wall, from the gap in front of the shield array, began to reveal a row of spear tips, Jin Bing was ready to charge.

Gao Huaiyuan also began to get a little nervous, after all, he had never experienced such a battle formation, it was already good to be able to insist on not turning his calves, no matter what, he was still a young man, although his kung fu was better, but he was not a god, he would still be injured and die! In such a situation, it is already good to do this, he took a deep breath, suppressed the accelerated heartbeat, and continued to release arrows one by one, at this time he no longer shot the people behind the shield wall, but targeted the archers behind the shield array, while silently calculating the distance of the Jin army in his heart.

When he saw that Jin Bing was about to arrive in front of the car wall, he suddenly got up, kicked down a big log, and shouted: "Let go of the wood!" Stone-throwing! ”

As soon as his shout fell, these archers on the car dropped their crossbow arrows one after another, and pushed the rolling wood in front of them together, only to hear a rumbling sound, a piece of dust rose in front of the car array, and more than a dozen logs rumbled down the mountain road.

In this way, the shield array of the Jin army immediately lost its effect under the impact of these rolling logs, although the commander in the formation expected such a situation, and also shouted to order the front row of gold soldiers to squat, carrying the shield to resist, and although the gold soldiers in front of them exclaimed and immediately squatted down, the shield struggled to the ground, and carried the shield with his shoulder, but after all, the strength of people is still limited, and the weight of those logs is not too big, but when they roll down, with gravity and speed, it is not ordinarily light.

As the first log hit the shield wall, several of the first Jin soldiers were still knocked upside down on the spot and flew out, the shield was also broken on the spot, crushed under the log, the original neat shield array, suddenly began to be chaotic, and then the logs that came jumped one after another This crashed into the Jin Army shield array, and smashed the shield array composed of these golden sabers and shield hands in front of them, and could no longer play the role of resisting arrows, and many people who were directly hit by the logs were knocked out of blood on the spot, and flew upside down into their own crowd. They rolled to the ground with their own people, and the logs that followed crushed them underneath, and they saw that they were smashed, and they had more air out and less air in.

When he saw the chaos of the Jin Army's shield array, Gao Huaiyuan knew that the opportunity could not be missed, so he turned to Fan Dutou and shouted: "Shoot up!" Don't stop, keep cumming me! ”

The group of Song soldiers who had already prepared immediately opened their bows and arrows, and instantly spilled more than 100 arrows, and then under the command of Fan Dutou, these Song army archers opened their bows and arrows one after another for a moment, and the arrows were swung over the car wall to the top of the Jin army on the other side.

Such a dense launch once again caused a lot of casualties among the Jin army, only to hear a miserable howl immediately in front of the car wall, many Jin soldiers who were hit by arrows covered their wounds and fell to the ground, but there were also fierce Jin soldiers who braved the rolling wood and arrows, or under the leadership of the commander, waved their knives and rushed to the car wall.

"Kill them for me!" Gao Huaiyuan stretched out his hand and picked up a stone the size of a human head, and smashed it down like a persimmon, with his brute force, the stone flew straight out, and smashed his head on the head of a Jin soldier who rushed to the front, and burst the brains of this fight on the spot, and his body fell down, and then looked at his head, which had been smashed like a rotten persimmon, and the flesh and blood were blurred, red and white like a dyeing workshop.

The other villagers also lifted the stones at this time, they didn't have the divine power of Gao Huaiyuan, but they still did it when they threw down these stones, so for a while, the stones on the wall of the car smashed like rain on the golden soldiers who rushed up, and smashed these golden soldiers who rushed to the front Ghost cried wolf howl, and there was a miserable scream.

The archers in the rear team of the Jin Army also began to shoot at the car wall at this time, and the locust-like arrows immediately shot down a lot of the villagers who were standing on the car wall throwing stones, and the villagers who were hit by the arrows screamed and dropped the stones, covered their wounds and crashed down into the cart, and the blood was sprinkled into the air, splashing everywhere.

But at this time, Gao Huaiyuan couldn't take care of these anymore, he cheered up the rest of the villagers: "Don't stop, keep smashing me!" Stoning these turtle sons to death! Let them come up, everyone won't survive, don't be afraid, smash me! ”

So the rest of the villagers were also red-eyed at this time, and then continued to pick up the stone and smashed it down at the Jin soldiers below, breaking the tendons and breaking the tendons of the batch of Jin soldiers, and falling in front of the car wall.

And the commander of the Jin army was also mad at this time, holding a shield in his left hand and a knife in his right hand, constantly commanding the Jin soldiers around him to continue to advance, he was determined to conquer this pass in one fell swoop this time, today he really underestimated this group of Song people, I didn't expect hundreds of township soldiers to beat him so embarrassed, he vowed to kill the pass at this time, and slaughtered these damned Song people with his own hands.

But just as he was shouting to command the charge, Gao Huaiyuan finally stared at him, grabbed his strong bow from the car, quickly aimed at the golden soldier commander, squeaked and pulled the bowstring, and released an arrow at him, this arrow hung like a poisonous snake spitting out the wind, and rushed straight to the golden army commander, capture the thief and capture the king first, and beat this guy, the Jin army's attack naturally declared a failure!

At this time, the commander was only twenty steps away from him, and he was also a veteran of the Jin Army, and suddenly felt that the white light flashed, and he secretly screamed that it was not good, and quickly blocked the shield in front of him, but even so, he still felt that his arm was suddenly bursting, Gao Huaiyuan's arrow was stunned with huge force, and the skin wooden shield in his hand was shot through on the spot, and the arrow was still holding Yu Wei, which pierced his left arm fiercely, nailing the shield to his arm.
