Chapter 134: Wang Tong's First Battle
In the past, I watched the battle of thousands of people in film and television dramas, but it was not as real as the small battle I saw today, Wang Tong was on the horse, the palm holding the reins was full of sweat, his ears were also a little buzzing, and his eyes were staring at the door of the temple where the battle was about to take place without blinking.
From that sharp voice began to agitate, there were howls and shouts one after another in the Mixed Yuan Temple, and words such as 'great calamity in this life, bliss in the next life'.
The door that had just been closed from the inside was now also "Bang Bang", and it was the people inside who were latching the door, preparing to come out to fight, Wang Tong wiped off the sweat from his pants with his hands, and was about to draw out the long knife hanging on the edge of the saddle, but he didn't know if he was nervous or what, and he didn't catch the handle of the knife after grabbing it several times.
The action was too stiff, Wang Tong lowered his head to draw the knife with shortness of breath, but was patted on the shoulder, the whole person trembled violently, and turned around suddenly, but saw Li Wenyuan with a smile, Tan Jiang on the other side also had a gentle face, Li Wenyuan opened his mouth and said:
"Don't worry too much, adults really want to fight, we will almost have to be in the fourth wave to rush up, just watch calmly."
Wang Tong blushed a little, he was so mature and steady in his performance, but he was so cramped on this battlefield, as if he had guessed what he was thinking, Tan Jiang said gently:
"My lord, this is the first time to go to the battlefield, dozens of our brothers were not as good as adults back then, and I remember that someone fell off their horses when the thief shouted for the first time."
After speaking, he glanced at Li Wenyuan and laughed softly, this kind of laughter is completely the laughter of the elders reasoning with the juniors, Wang Tong also relaxed a lot, took a few deep breaths, calmed down, and asked:
"Is it going to be fought next, these evil destroyers have been washed their heads, shouting that they will fight hard, and there will definitely be a hard battle later."
Li Wenyuan shook his head with a smile and said:
"If these people don't make a sound, close the door and don't come out, then there will be a hard fight, so open the door and rush out, or fight with the elite of the four battalions, isn't that just death?"
The people in the middle of the soldiers of Long Xiang's left guard, who had just leveled the line, took a few steps back and set up a concave line, and the soldiers with large shields formed a row in front, looking as if they were standing there with a wooden wall out of thin air.
The temple door was opened, and the monks with long and short blades rushed out, led by several people with completely distorted faces and large swords or axes in their hands.
These people were wearing short monk's robes, holding their weapons high, and there was nothing to cover their chests, and the dozen or so generals of Long Xiang's left guard naturally saw this gap, and they all stretched their bows and arrows on their horses, and shot directly at them.
There is no suspense, every time the bowstring sounds, there is a monk screaming and falling, but there are more and more monks rushing out of the temple, more than a dozen strong bows can not stop their footsteps, and soon rushed to the shield array, the shield is mostly half a person high, the soldiers holding the shield of the left guard of Long Xiang are shrunk behind the shield, let the other party rush over, the monks are short knives or axes in their hands, there are also spears and forks, chaotic rush over, many people directly hit the shield, Trying to climb over the shield to attack the soldier who raises the shield.
The sound of "bang bang" sounded one after another, this was the sound of ** colliding with the shield, and the already concave front was concave a little back, as if absorbing the impact of these monks.
The second-row soldiers behind the shield stabbed their spears neatly at the moment when the enemy crashed into the shield, barely missing, and then retracted and stabbed again.
The screams had filled the open space in front of the Mixed Yuan Temple, although the officers and soldiers were constantly retreating from the concave line, but the screams were always heard on the side of the monks, and occasionally a few brave ones were shot to death by those strong bows.
Wang Tong swallowed, pulled out the knife and said:
"Are we going to prepare, we have to go up if we break through the formation."
Li Wenyuan shook his head, pointed to the person at the temple gate and said:
"I can't break through, now it's all up to people to keep rushing, the temple is not small, how many people may be, and the people behind don't dare to follow it."
Wang Tong looked over, and sure enough, the monks who followed behind looked left and right in panic, wanting to run out of the gap in the formation on both sides, the spears continued to assassinate, and the shield line began to move forward slowly, gradually straightening. The madness of the monks quickly dissipated under the killing, and the officers and soldiers began to fight back.
"Those people who did the crash immediately went to the back door of the Mixed Yuan Temple, Lao Xue, you took your people to cruise around the temple, I'm afraid that someone will run through the back door!"
When Wang Tong and the others were carefully watching the battle situation, Deng Pu, the battalion officer of Longxiang Zuowei, gave a loud order on the horse, and Xue Zhanye, who was sentenced to 100 households in Dongchang, shouted and led the people to the back.
"If you rush so hard in front, you must be leaving the people who can really fight behind, waiting for the opportunity to rush out from behind!"
Li Wenyuan explained carefully there, and as soon as the words fell, an officer of the team came running on horseback, approached the horse, and said excitedly and loudly:
"These thieves have prepared two hundred numbers in the back, and suddenly opened the door and rushed, and also fucking listed the formation, a few brothers were directly rushed down and stepped on, if it weren't for the thirty bows in our back door, they shot three rounds and knocked down these people, and ran back, I'm really afraid..."
If he said this, the front and back were already blocked, and Wang Tong was also relieved, and at this time, Tan Jiang next to him leaned over and whispered:
"Master, the little one doesn't know much about this matter, do you want to find out to the end?"
Wang Tong looked at him in surprise and said:
"Naturally, this matter has to be investigated, and if you don't catch the culprit, you won't be able to sleep well."
"Then now ask Officer Deng Yingguan to go to the back door, and talk to the master halfway!"
As soon as Wang Tong groaned, he opened his mouth and shouted loudly to Temple:
"General Deng, if you want to lead someone to the back door to assist, please allow the general!!"
The battle situation in front of the Mixed Yuan Temple has been reversed, and the monks who were doused with blood and the fire of madness ran back in panic, but this time the soldiers of Long Xiang's left guard will not let go, and the officers and soldiers with knives and axes followed behind, and it was still a one-sided killing, which was controlled here, and Deng Pu's request to Wang Tong was just that children like to have a good time, and when they saw that there was no fight here, they wanted to go to the back door to get a credit.
"Lord Wang, please go, but be careful!"
Deng Pu waved his hand senselessly, Wang Tong's thirty horses began to run in the direction where Xue Zhanye left, and before leaving the team, Tan Jiang slowed down his horse speed and said to Wang Tong:
"Master, no matter north and south, the Zhuangzi and the mansion of the big family have a preparation for the unexpected, in case the family is overturned, there is always a bone and blood vein, I look at the layout of the Mixed Yuan Temple is similar, there must be a secret passage to the vicinity, the front door and the back door are so crazy to rush, the culprit will run along the dark road."
On the battlefield, it is just a small battlefield, besieging such a small Zhuangzi, but there are so many elaborate explanations, and I need to judge too many possibilities.
Wang Tong took a few breaths slowly, there were too many things to learn, don't be complacent, and then asked Tan Jiang beside him:
"Brother Tan, where do you see this secret passage?"
"The city of Huangcun County is surrounded by farmland, and there are four or five families over there in addition to this Mixed Yuan Temple.
Tan Jiang pointed in one direction, Wang Tong stepped on the stirrup, straightened up on the horse and looked over, surrounded by either low bushes, or large flat fields, and there were villages in the distance, but these four or five houses looked very strange.
The shouting and killing sound from Cong Chaoyuan Temple gradually weakened, Wang Tong couldn't help but be a little anxious, and said in a loud voice:
"Then let's not go quickly, maybe someone has already run away."
Li Wenyuan also looked back and forth, and said with some uncertainty:
"If you run at this time, I'm afraid these thieves shouldn't resist, but there are still shouts of killing at this time......"
When he was saying this, there was a terrible shout from the temple, and everyone who slowed down the speed of the horse turned their heads to look at it, and the tall Buddha hall was set on fire, and the smoke rose to the sky, and the shouting and killing sound in the temple was suddenly much more intense.
"The Buddha went to the West Heaven first, everyone gave up this surname and went with the Buddha!!"
There were sharp voices screaming in the temple again, as if the frightened monks who had been killed were encouraged by this and began to frenzy again, and the fighting was fierce again.
"Master, this group of thieves took advantage of everyone to think that they set fire to [***], and now they must be in the tunnel, let's slowly lean over and wait for the rabbit!!"
Thirty horsemen urged the horses in unison and slowly ran over, some of the generals of the Tan family took out their bows and arrows, and some opened their crossbows on their horses, while Li Wenyuan shouted loudly at those young people, took out their weapons and waited to follow him and listen carefully to the command.
Wang Tong copied the long knife in his hand, and General Tan said in a low voice:
"This sword and axe horse battle is also used to cut and kill the infantry, the master will change to a short spear in the future, that one is better to use, and if someone comes out, the small ones will shoot a few rounds first, and then shout to force them to surrender."
The late Tan Lun, the secretary of the military department, handed over these people to him, and it seems that his expectations for himself are really high, and after a few more battles and oral teachings, he will definitely grow up slowly.
"Someone over there is coming out!"
Someone behind Wang Tong shouted in a low voice, and everyone hurriedly looked over, more than a dozen people dressed as ordinary people carried burdens, and hurriedly walked out, looking at their dress, they were the most ordinary people, after all, they still guessed at the beginning, if it was really a common people, wouldn't it be empty.
Wang Tong reacted quickly this time, and ordered with a wave of his hand:
"Chase over and shout stop, if it's not a thief, it won't run, if it's a thief, then it must be panic!!"
As soon as everyone urged the horses, the dozen or so people suddenly galloped wildly.......
