Five Dynasties River Mountains Fengyue

Chapter 11 "One Hundred"

When he first arrived in this world, Shi Congyun once thought whether he would have a golden finger, and then he would ride like a thousand, and he would be all-powerful and unstoppable.
Unfortunately not
The reality is cruel, especially after training with the lieutenant generals.

He found that not to mention his young age, even if Wang Zhong was a good player in the army, it would be very difficult to face two soldiers at the same time. If the opponent had three people, he could almost only run.

It's not like the various majestic tricks he thought, the more they will be, the more powerful they will be.

For this reason, he was also scolded by Shi Yanchao, saying that his mind was confused, and he only had a few fights on the battlefield.

Human beings are born with flaws. Their eyes can only look at about 120 degrees in front of them, and it is difficult to care about the back and sides.

And the other side of the knife-wielding hand is even weaker. Once it is one-to-many, it is almost a dead end.

The back of a person's head doesn't have long eyes, unless the opponent is very moral, and if they don't make a sneak attack, they will all line up to fight you one by one. Obviously, it is impossible on the battlefield.

The battlefield is to fight with more and less, and the fight is to hit the back.

Therefore, Shi Congyun's dream of being one hundred and one hundred was shattered, let alone being one hundred, he had absolutely no chance of winning when three or four.

The only thing you can rely on is courage.

Shao Ji told him that as long as you are cruel enough, others will be afraid.

At this time, at the narrow bridge head, the moment when the soldiers meet, the only truth is that the brave who meet in the narrow road wins.

Shi Congyun is not a hero, he is forced to be a hero
However, he also ignores the fact that most people in the world are not brave, he is not, let alone the Northern Han soldiers.

Although he was terrified, he was still wrapped up and rushed forward, and no one of the Northern Han soldiers was forced. The moment the horses rushed over the bridge, the front was not the Northern Han soldiers who were waiting in battle, nor the cold spear forest, but a group of frightened people everywhere. The fleeing soldiers.

The Northern Han soldiers at Qiaotou couldn't stand the pressure and fled in fear of the war.

Before he could react, Shi Congyun felt a shock from the spear in his hand, his body was pushed hard, and the long wooden pole over ten feet was easily broken. The flying flesh and blood instantly disappeared from his field of vision.

The chaotic and noisy voices in his ears immediately poured into his brain, the wind whistled, and the huge force almost pushed him off the horse's back. Shi Congyun quickly pulled the reins to stabilize his body.

The warhorse was still advancing. He hurriedly lost the pole in his hand and pulled out the horizontal knife. Before he had time to move, he heard a scream and the crisp sound of broken bones. Someone was trampled by his warhorse...

Wang Zhong and Shao Ji on the left and right roared and rushed to kill, and they had already surpassed him in an instant. Many cavalrymen passed by with a bloody wind pouring into his lungs, and then rushed towards the northern Han troops, and the bloody battle started at the entrance of the village.

Then most of the people in the rear took advantage of the situation to cross the river, Shi Congyun took off his visor, and his line of sight became clear.

It can be clearly seen that the soldiers and horses in the rear group rolled up the dust and rushed over the bridgehead. The northern Han soldiers at the bridgehead basically did not resist and were chased and killed.

The Zhou army attacked suddenly, and they were all cavalry, and the unprepared Northern Han soldiers at the bridge were caught by surprise.

The dozens of horsemen led by Shao Ji, Wang Zhong and others in the front had already killed their red eyes and rushed into the village directly chasing the Beihan soldiers, and soon no one could be seen.

After regaining consciousness, Shi Congyun hurriedly stopped his horse and asked the messengers to recall them. It was not clear how many enemies there were in the village.

The most important thing is to hold the bridge!

Then he stopped the light riders who were crossing the bridge behind and told them to stick to the head of the bridge and not pursue them.

After a while, Wang Zhong, Shao Ji and others returned after receiving the order. Many people's armors were dyed red, and their heads were still hanging on the horses.

Shi Congyun didn't feel good when he saw it, and also felt that this way of remembering merit was not good. Later, it was recorded that because the soldiers used the enemy's head to count merit, they ran off to cut off the enemy's head, which greatly affected the battle.And the head is heavy and inconvenient to carry, so troublesome.

Like the Mongolians who cut off their ears later, it is more convenient than their heads.

Shi Congyun immediately asked, "What's the situation in the village, how many enemy soldiers?"

Shao Ji replied briefly: "The thieves have already camped by the well in the middle of the village. There are more than [-] soldiers."

Shi Congyun thought about it for a while, he asked Wang Zhong to bring his light cavalry closer and keep an eye on the movements of the Northern Han people, but he was not allowed to fight, and if the situation was not right, he would retreat.

Send Shao Ji to lead 200 light and [-] heavy cavalry, a total of [-] people, from the woods in the south of the village to the north, roundabout to block the enemy's retreat.

As for the safest task Shi Congyun left to himself, that is to take the remaining people to hold the bridge and wait for the subsequent army to cross the river.

Because more than [-] forwards were all cavalry, the follow-up support was very fast. The reinforcements led by Xiang Xun had already followed up when they succeeded in capturing the bridge, and they quickly crossed the bridge.

Half an hour later, thousands of Zhou's troops had assembled on the river bank, and Shi Congyun ordered the formation to start a search and advance toward the center of the village.

This time, he learned to be smart, and no longer dared to rush, but obediently under the escort of several personal soldiers, and Xiang Xun in the middle army, commanding the front army to lead the attack.

After a while, there was a scream of killing from the front, but it lasted for a short time.

The scouts sent out also reported in succession. They only saw a small number of Northern Han troops. The enemy troops either hid, hid in civilian houses and set up ambush, or fled.

Shi Congyun looked at Xiang Xun. He had never had this kind of experience. How could he know how to judge on the spot? Of course, at such a time, he would have to ask someone, "Envoy Xiang, what's next?"

Xiang Xun was surprised, he probably didn't expect him to suddenly ask a question, so he said, "According to a certain opinion, the Northern Han soldiers should have escaped, and the whole army can be chased."

Shi Congyun nodded, and then ordered the entire army to attack and hunt down the Northern Han soldiers in the village.

Immediately, the sound of hooves and the neighing of war horses, the soldiers of the Zhou Army followed the village from south to north to pursue the soldiers of the Northern Han Dynasty.

Shi Congyun has been following behind most of them, not rashly advancing.

After an hour or so, the battle report from the front came back, and the Northern Han army was indeed fleeing northward. On the way, it was intercepted and killed by light and heavy cavalry led by Shao Ji from the side, and was overtaken by the chasing soldiers from behind. They were defeated on the official road northeast of Zezhou City. , beheaded more than 150 people, captured 270 people, and dozens of riders fled to the north.

So far, it can be completely inferred that the Northern Han soldiers are just forwards, about a battalion, and there is no follow-up.

Shi Congyun breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly rode his horse through the village's dilapidated thatched huts to the north, and finally caught up with most of them on the side of the avenue about a mile outside the main gate of Zezhou City.

The battlefield was still filled with the smell of blood, the sand and stones in the broad official road were dyed red, and the headless corpses were piled up on the side of the road into a hill.

On the other side of the road, many Northern Han soldiers disarmed and disarmed were squatting on the ground, surrounded and guarded by the Zhou Corps.

Seeing him coming, the soldiers gave way one after another. Shi Congyun first asked himself the casualties on his side. Wang Zhong told him that 47 people were injured and 17 died in battle.

"This time, the Northern Han soldiers are not armored elites, they are easy to fight." Shao Ji brought his horse over with a happy expression on his face. This was a small victory.

The soldiers looked happy, but the death of 17 people still pained Shi Congyun.

This was just a small and medium-sized encounter, and the situation was completely settled by dusk.

The sun had already set in the west, and it was only then that he realized that he had been playing for a day without realizing it.

Shi Congyun relaxed only to find that his whole body was still soaked wet, and his armor was heavy.

This first battle can be said to have come in a hurry, and it was very confusing.

The Northern Han soldiers were frightened by the numerous cavalry charges and fled and did not dare to defend the bridge. If this group of Northern Han soldiers were tough and dared to exchange with him, he might be honored at the bridge, and now he is afraid.

He must have killed the Beihan soldier who used his gun on his back. It was the first drop of blood.

After that, the speed of the horse was too fast, and the field of vision under the visor was too small, and he had no idea whether he had killed any more.

Wang Zhong patted his chest and assured that the owner of the cabin had killed at least a dozen.

Shao Ji said one and a half, one was stabbed to death by him, and one was trampled by his horse and couldn't move, and was compensated by the soldiers behind, so it was only half, but if it was full, it could be counted as two.

Shi Congyun knew that what Shao Ji said was more credible.

So when I met someone, I said that I killed 12 enemies in the first battle, which made the Northern Han army terrified. I don't believe that Wang Zhong can testify.

After the chaotic battle, he also had three arrows inserted in his body, all of which were in the chest and abdomen. They should have been shot by the Northern Han army when they rushed over the bridge, but they did not penetrate his several layers of armor.

At the time, I didn't feel it at all, but after I relaxed, I realized that it was okay.

At that time, Shi Congyun breathed a sigh of relief. If he was just an ordinary soldier and couldn't afford to wear such a good armor, he would have been hanging on the bridge long ago.

Following the victory outside the city, the governor of Zezhou sent someone out to verify their identities, knowing that they were the vanguards of the Zhou Dynasty and went out to meet them, but still did not dare to enlarge the army into the city, for fear that they would harm the people.

Later, Xiang Xun took over the prisoners of war, and Shi Congyun and his three hundred soldiers retreated to the city gate to rest.

Xiang Xun ordered the soldiers of the Zhou Army to drag out some well-dressed soldiers from the Northern Han prisoners of war, who appeared to be officers, and beheaded them on the spot on the side of the road.

Shi Congyun frowned, but did not stop it.

On the way to the north, he saw the burned houses outside the city, the corpses of people who died tragically, and the corpses of women who died naked. He also understood what these Northern Han soldiers did.

The Northern Han soldiers came too quickly and hastily. The governor of Zezhou did not know the truth and only dared to close the city to save his life.

Winning the first contact with the Han soldiers is worthy of congratulation, and it is also very inspiring.

That night, Shi Yanchao's army arrived at the Zezhou city and camped outside the city, but did not enter the city.

At night, surrounded the fire and ate the wine and meat sent by the governor, Shi Congyun took off his armor, took a bath in the muddy water outside Zezhou City, and blew with the soldiers. Today, he finally had something to talk about.

So on the second day, his legendary deeds were spread in the army. Shi Congyun took the lead and rushed across the bridge single-handedly, killing 12 generals and academies of the bridgehead defenders in the Northern Han Dynasty!
Then the Northern Han thieves dispersed in panic.It is said that he is worthy of Shi Yanchao's son, that is really a tiger father without a dog!

The key point is that many soldiers still believe it, Shi Congyun thought to himself, at this level, it is not impossible for him to realize his dream of becoming one hundred!Let's see if he blows.
