Chapter 302

"Are you afraid?" Behind Han Shizhong, Zhuo Ao's voice suddenly sounded, and he saw Zhuo Ao walking over accompanied by Huo Lao and Ao Wutian, looking at the dark army in the distance, he said calmly.

"My lord, the last general is not afraid." Han Shizhong blushed a little.

"It's normal to be afraid. After all, this is the first time you've faced so many troops." Zhuo Ao looked around. The number alone had already increased the pressure on the soldiers defending the city. He looked at Han Shizhong and said: "However, if you want to surpass Wanyan Aguda, you must not be afraid. Think about it, Wanyan Aguda is facing 70 Liao troops, ten times stronger than the Song army!"

"Yes, the general will remember." Han Shizhong roared loudly.

Zhuo Ao looked at the Song army formation, and suddenly smiled: "It seems that I still think highly of Zhao Ji, Shizhong, I will give you five hundred cavalry, do you have the guts to charge into the formation and give the emperor a disgrace? "

"Why don't you dare!" Han Shizhong said proudly.

Five hundred cavalry may not sound like much, but the Song Dynasty had few horses and strategic materials, which were rare among the people. These five hundred war horses were also secretly sent by Wansan Trading Company in foreign countries over the years. Five hundred cavalry, it can be said It is Zhuo Ao's current possessions.

"Okay, listen to my strategy, don't be blind." Zhuo Ao called Han Shizhong over and gave instructions for a while, and Han Shizhong took the order and left.

Ao Wutian suddenly said at this time: "There are only 20 mortals in the area, why bother, as long as you open your mouth, you can be destroyed with a snap of your fingers."

"Do you think I can't defeat them with [-] soldiers?" Zhuo Ao didn't answer, but asked rhetorically.

"20 versus [-], the difference between the soldiers of both sides is not too big, if you and I still have this old man who doesn't fight, I don't think you have any chance of winning!" Ao Wutian said coldly.

"Do you dare to bet with me?" Zhuo Ao smiled.

"What are you betting on?" Ao Wutian looked at Zhuo Ao.

"I am fighting against 20 Song troops with [-] soldiers. I don't need any external force. If I win, you will have another chance to fight for me. If I lose, you only need to fight for me once. How about that?" ?” Zhuo Ao laughed.

"The difference between the two sides is huge, do you really want to bet with me?" Ao Wutian looked at Song Jun and said coldly.

"You are not joking." Zhuo Ao smiled lightly.

"Okay, I agree, let me see how you can defeat an army of 20 with [-]!" Ao Wutian nodded.

Outside the city of Hangzhou, Zhao Ji spread out his army. Looking at the overwhelming army that could not be seen at a glance, a surge of pride suddenly rose in his heart. The city of Hangzhou in front of the 20 troops in front of him was like a storm. Ye Bianzhou, Zhao Ji had a sneer on his lips. According to intelligence, there are only 8000 people in the city of Hangzhou at the moment. How dare this small number of people dare to fight against the imperial army?

"Preach my will, the three armies set up camp, rest overnight, attack the city tomorrow, and before the sun goes down tomorrow, I will reward the three armies in the city of Hangzhou!" Zhao Ji said to the three armies in high spirits.

"Your Majesty Tianwei!" A group of generals immediately praised.

This is also an important reason why Zhuo Ao looks down on Zhao Ji. Soldiers, the most important weapon of the country, the way of life and death, the most taboo is layman commanding randomly, but Zhao Ji is the emperor again. The bloody generals did not dare to object, but wanted to sing praises instead. No matter how many people there are in such an army, it is useless.

Just like now, the 20 troops are just three miles away, and they have begun to set up camp in a grand manner. Obviously, these Song troops use themselves to save others, and they don't think that Hangzhou city dares to send troops.

The sky was getting dark, and as night fell, the gate of Hangzhou City suddenly opened. Han Shizhong led [-] cavalrymen to rush out like a gust of wind, and rushed towards the camp that had not yet been built. Behind, another general led [-] steps The pawns followed closely behind, approaching the opposing camp.

Three miles away, the cavalry charged, but a moment passed, and it was only at this time that Song Jun realized that something was wrong, but Han Shizhong had already led [-] cavalry through the gate that had just been erected and had not yet closed in the future. The people chopped down, and in a short while, they had already broken through the defense line of the Song army, which had no time to react, and went straight to Zhao Ji's army.

Zhao Ji obviously didn't expect that there would be a cavalry system in a small city of Hangzhou, and he didn't expect that the opponent, with only 8000 people, would have the courage to go out of the city to fight. Seeing Han Shizhong rushing towards the Chinese army, his face was pale with fright, and his liver and gallbladder were torn apart. , the light was dim at this time, and it was not clear how many people the other party had. Although he knew that the other party could not have too many people, but at this time, he was just entering the battle, so he couldn't care less about thinking so much. In a panic, he just kept shouting With the help of the three armed forces.

Originally, although the Song army was caught off guard, the formation spread out. Even if Han Shizhong's cavalry broke in and was caught off guard, he only needed to stabilize his position and encircle both sides. If Han Shizhong didn't evacuate, he would be dumped. Who knew Zhao Ji Being overwhelmed by Han Shizhong's aura, he became dizzy and asked to be rescued. Many troops around heard the news, and the formation that was originally set up was suddenly disrupted by his own people.

Zhao Ji's side was already guarded by the forbidden army. Han Shizhong only had [-] cavalry, so it was impossible for him to rush in. Seeing the opponent's close, he immediately retreated, and left as soon as he touched it, without dragging his feet. Leading by a general, they rushed there, and they were not polite when they saw the situation. Two thousand soldiers took out their crossbow arrows and shot them in the direction of the Chinese army. Entering the dense crowd, he shot down a large area at once, and the Song army quickly dispersed. At this time, Han Shizhong led the cavalry to fight back from another direction, and there was another burst of hearty slashing. Abandoning the armor, waiting for the Song army to gather again, and retreating again.

Before Zhao Ji could breathe a sigh of relief, the [-] soldiers in the rear had reloaded the crossbow arrows, and a round of crossbow arrows was fired, causing the Song army to drop hundreds of corpses.

It was only at this moment that someone from the Song army came to their senses, and hurriedly asked Zhao Ji to send a team to kill the pawns who were shooting arrows to the rear. If the opponent continued to kill like this, no amount of people would be enough to kill them.

Zhao Ji didn't hesitate this time, and nodded in agreement, but Han Shizhong had already cooperated with the pawns to charge the Song army in another round at the time of pleading for orders.

Seeing that the Song Army sent troops to push the infantry to the rear, Han Shizhong ordered the infantry to retreat, and at the same time led people to kill them from the rear, and killed the soldiers and horses. Without a chance, they covered the infantry and withdrew back to the city. At this time, night had fallen. Song Jun saw Han Shizhong leading the army slowly retreating into the city, but he did not dare to send troops to chase him down. He watched the gate of Hangzhou being closed. I breathed a sigh of relief.

Counting the losses after the war, only in this round of fierce battles, the Song army suffered over ten thousand casualties, most of them were trampled to death under Zhao Ji's panic command. On the other hand, Han Shizhong, except for the eight cavalry who were not good at riding in the melee, Falling off the horse, almost no casualties, can be said to be a big victory.

"My lord, it's a good luck not to disgrace your life!" Han Shizhong returned to the tower excitedly, and saluted Zhuo Ao excitedly.

"Well done." Zhuo Ao looked at the opposite camp, and said to the surrounding soldiers: "Did you see that? Although they are numerous, they are vulnerable to a single blow. General Han just killed them in one round. No matter how many such enemies there are, are they worth our fear?"

"It's not worth it!" The defenders of the city tower shouted in unison, and the sound shook the sky. Not only was the dark barracks on the opposite side not scary at this time, but even a group of soldiers were gearing up, looking forward to the arrival of tomorrow.

Han Shizhong not only successfully disarmed the Song army, but also successfully raised the morale of these new recruits, and took the opportunity to eliminate the fear caused by the difference in numbers. What a 20 army looks good That's all, they're all paper tigers.

Zhuo Ao asked the generals at all levels to arrange night patrols. Although the Song army was defeated, it is unlikely to attack at night, but war is not a child's play, and there is no room for carelessness.

"How?" After arranging the patrol, Zhuo Ao brought Huo Lao and Ao Wutian back to the Zhuo Mansion, and looked at Ao Wutian with a smile.

"I didn't expect the emperor of the Song Dynasty to be so unbearable." Ao Wutian was also very displeased with Zhao Ji's performance. The majestic emperor, with 20 soldiers in hand, was frightened by [-] cavalry. It's really shameful, but he didn't Ken easily concedes defeat: "It's just a small victory, and it's still unknown who will win in the end!"

Having said that, the original idea of ​​victory in his heart became blurred at this time. According to Song Jun's performance, he really might not be able to win.

"My lord, the night patrol has been arranged, are you looking for me?" Han Shizhong walked in from the outside and bowed to Zhuo Ao.

"It's a big victory today, you played well, how do you feel?" Zhuo Ao patted Han Shizhong's shoulder and said.

"Cool!" Han Shizhong said with a simple and honest smile.

"Do you want to have fun again?" Zhuo Ao looked at Han Shizhong and said.

"Uh, charge again?" Han Shizhong looked at Zhuo Ao suspiciously.

"No, let's do something special." Zhuo Ao looked at Han Shizhong and said with a smile: "You arrange a few teams, with gongs and drums, to go outside the Song Army's camp, and beat every hour or two. Come after them, and return immediately."

"Then what if they don't chase?" Han Shizhong asked.

"A few times before, regardless of whether the opponent was chasing or not, he would immediately return to the city after beating for a while. Take your time and take the cavalry to recharge your batteries. When dawn comes, it will be the most sleepy time of the day. When you arrive Take the cavalry with you, and the horses have their feet bound, and go to attack the camp, and you will succeed!" Zhuo Ao said.

"Yes! My lord is brilliant!" Han Shizhong's eyes lit up, he nodded excitedly and took his orders, then he left quickly and went to prepare.

Looking at the back of Han Shizhong leaving with excitement, for some reason, Ao Wutian suddenly felt a deep sense of sympathy for the group of Song soldiers outside the city.
