Song Dynasty

Chapter 27
"We are the Western Army, number one in the world!" Standing on the pile of dead people, Gu Lie looked crazy and kept screaming.

Lu Can was still sobbing.

Wang Shen let out a long sigh of relief, and put the horizontal knife back into its sheath.Four days, four days, finally guarding the treasury of Pingyuan Town, his life and Anniang's sister and brother were finally saved.In this battle, it is worthwhile to know the cruelty of the ancient battlefield of cold weapons, know what a real war is, and see the power of the Song and Western Army.

By the way, the backbone of Liu Guangshi's Huaixi Army is actually the elite of the [-] Yanyan Army he brought over from Shaanxi, and the old soldiers are indeed old soldiers.It is worthy of being the warriors of the Three Qin Dynasty who fought hard against Dangxiang, Khitan, and Jurchen. Although they lost more and won less, they are still one of the strongest armies of this era.

No, where did the Huaixi Army get such strong cavalry.Even if there is, it cannot be a well-equipped heavy cavalry.Three thousand elites are precious seeds. How can they be used centrally if they are to be sent down to the army as officers?In the case of national financial bankruptcy, the current Song army has not yet reached this point of luxury.

Is it...

A kind of uneasiness arises from the heart.

Wang Shen yelled loudly, and kicked a soldier who was lying on the ground because of exhaustion: "Get up, set up the formation, and prepare to fight!"

"What's the matter?" Hearing Wang Shen's shout, Lu Can was puzzled.

"Set up the formation, damn it, it's not reinforcements here." Wang Shen's face was livid.

"What?" Lu Can exclaimed.

At this moment, Gu Lie from above suddenly yelled and pointed to the front: "Heaven, heaven!"

Follow his fingers to see the past, in the distance, that team of cavalry is still frantically beheading the scattered Jinan army.

But a team of about ten cavalry, led by a slender enemy general, rushed towards the treasury.

The long spears in their hands have been leveled, and they are suddenly in a fighting state.

The shiny spear tip dazzled everyone's eyes, and there was a big red flag flying unscrupulously in their ranks, with a huge goshawk embroidered on it.

"Li Cheng, it's Li Cheng!" The soldiers all screamed at the same time, with despair on their faces.

"Who is Li Cheng?" Wang Shen asked loudly.

Lu Can cried, "Li Cheng and Li Boyou, the former Huaibei's big move to catch the emissary. It's him, it's him... It's over, it's over!"

"Li Cheng, Li Boyou!" The name was like a cold current rising from Wang Shen's feet and rushing straight to his forehead.

Li Cheng is very unfamiliar to those who are not familiar with history, or who only understand the historical records of the Southern Song Dynasty from "Shuo Yue Romance".But in official history, Li Cheng's reputation is not weaker than Yue Fei's.

In the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty, heroes rose together, and peerless famous generals stepped onto the battlefield one by one.Among them, Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, and Li Chengcheng are the most dazzling three.

Like Yue Fei, Li Cheng can not only lead troops to rule the army, but also is brave.It is said that he, like Yue Fei, can open a three-stone strong bow, and is one of the few people with the strongest martial arts in the world.

Li Chenggen is a great man in the north. After Jingkang, like others, he gathered a crowd to revolt and led the army south to be recruited by the imperial court.However, this man was ambitious, surrendered and rebelled repeatedly, and finally voted for Liu Yu and Puppet Qi.When the Jurchen suffered heavy losses and the army's combat effectiveness fell sharply due to corruption, he became the most trustworthy general of the Jurchen and Puppet Qi.It can be said that in the early Southern Song Dynasty, the Henan war situation in the Kingdom of Jin was independently supported by this person.Because of this, Li Cheng became Yue Fei's biggest enemy in his life.

Also because this person is so powerful, the world calls him Li Tianwang.

In real history, not only did the Yue family army suffer a lot from Li Cheng, but even Liu Guangshi was beaten to shame by him.

In the first year of Jianyan, Liu Guangshi entered the mansion of Generalissimo King Kang, and Zhao Gou ascended the throne in Yingtian Mansion, Nanjing.Li Cheng occupied Chenzhou and directly threatened the capital of the small court of the Southern Song Dynasty.Zhao Gou ordered Liu Guangshi to lead the army to fight against the bandits, and went to Shangcai in Caizhou, where Li Cheng was the main force.When the two armies clashed, Liu Guangshi's army was defeated, if not for the Huaixi army's fierce general Wang De, Liu Guangshi might have become a prisoner of others.

Later in Huaibei, the two armies had another confrontation, and the Huaixi army was still defeated.

In fact, unlike Li Yu's rogue army, which consisted of hundreds of thousands of people, and the Huaixi army's leading troops, Li Cheng's army was only in the early ten thousand, and the main force was only three to five thousand.However, all the soldiers of Yanzhao are brave and well-equipped.

Especially after going south to absorb a large number of elite Western troops living in Henan and Huaibei, their combat effectiveness has become extremely strong.Otherwise, it would be impossible to compete evenly with the Yue family army in the future.

Even the god of war, Yue Fei, found it difficult to face Li CD, let alone the long-legged general Liu Guangshi.

In every battle, Liu Guangshi collapsed across the board, and he was defeated in bloody battles.Not only him, but the entire Huaixi Army was gutted by Li Cheng.

Fortunately, Li Cheng accepted the recruitment last year and became an officer of the Great Song Dynasty, which made the Huaixi Army heaved a sigh of relief after suffering so much.But in the first half of this year, it went the other way.

Li Cheng can open a three-stone strong bow, what kind of concept is this?
"But I can't even draw a 99-pound bow. Are Li Cheng and Yue Feiyue still human?"

"Li Cheng, it's Li Cheng!" Lu Can was still crying.This scholar with a firm personality who had already had the will to stick to the treasury of Pingyuan Township had completely collapsed at this moment, without the slightest thought of rebellion.

Li Cheng's power is so powerful.

"It's you, it's you two bastards who told us to guard the treasury, and said that reinforcements will arrive soon, and I was killed by you two thieves!" Wang Shen chopped off his head.

Yue Yun kicked him to the ground.

Wang Shen drew out the horizontal knife and shouted: "Set up the formation, set up the formation..."

He heard his own hoarse voice.

However, except for Yue Yun standing beside him with a spear, no one moved.

The enemy cavalry is getting closer, so close that you can see the numb faces of the cavalry.

"When." A knife fell to the ground.

"Dang." Another one.

"Dang Dang Dang Dang." All the soldiers in the supply battalion threw their weapons on the ground and gave up resistance.

"Is it really over, surrender, or war?" Wang Shen was at a loss as he held the handle of the knife tightly with both hands, and blood and rain were squeezed out of the linen-wrapped handle.

There was no need to choose anymore, the slender cavalry leader of the team of enemy cavalry suddenly shouted: "Kill them all!"

It turned out to be a woman, her voice was like metal plates rubbing against each other, piercing the eardrums.

"Shua!" Ten war horses passed by in front of the formation, with long spears and horizontal strokes.

The blood in front of his eyes shot up to the sky, and some people's heads, stumps and broken arms flew up.

The soldier whose arm had been severed fell to the ground, rolling violently and screaming.The man who lost his head was still standing there in a daze, and it took a while for him to weaken.

"Dang!" A long lance was slashed on the horizontal knife, Wang Shen only felt his internal organs churn, and took three steps back to stabilize his body.

Looking down, the tiger's mouth has been split open, and blood is oozing out from the severe pain.

After all, manpower cannot compete with horsepower.

Surprised, Wang Shen shouted, "Ying Xiang, how are you doing?"

"It's okay, I can't die!" The spear in Yue Yun's hand had already been cut off, his body was weak, his face was frighteningly white, he was shocked and retreated into the crowd after being stabbed by the enemy cavalry just now.

Looking around, the soldiers of the supply battalion had already fallen to the ground.The living people were still standing there dumbfounded, waiting to die.

"It's useless, don't you dare!" Yue Yun snorted coldly, glanced at the crowd, grabbed another spear, stepped forward, and stood side by side with Wang Shen.

After the ten heavy cavalry passed by the front of the formation, they made a circle in front of them in an instant and came back again.

This time they spread out suddenly, forming a fan, and rushing in from the center.Just now they had completely disrupted the formation of the soldiers in the supply battalion, so it was natural to make a frontal assault at this moment to resolve the battle in one fell swoop.

This circle and burst showed extremely superb riding skills, as straight as thunder and lightning.

Wang Shen's heart was beating wildly, he screamed inwardly, and was about to shout loudly to make the scattered soldiers retreat.

At this moment, Yue Yun roared, and instead of retreating, he advanced, holding his spear and facing the enemy female general in front of him, rushing forward.

When shooting a man, shoot a horse first, and when capturing a thief, first capture the king.He suffered a big loss just now, and Yue Yingxiang was already furious.

Seeing Yue Yun rushing, the female general suddenly raised her head and opened her mouth to smile.A vigorous face, white teeth, sarcastic eyes.

Wang Shen shouted: "Ying Xiang be careful!"

But it was too late.

Suddenly, a person came out from the diagonal stab.The enemy held a flail in his hand, swung it in a circle with a whimper, and then pulled it towards Yue Yun's vest.

Li Cheng's cavalry were all from the elite of the Western Army. They were tall and strong, and they were the elite of the Northern Song Dynasty's elite. With the speed of the horse's sprint, the power of this stroke was so great.

At this time, Yue Yun was only a half-grown child, his body hadn't grown up yet, and he wasn't the combat-experienced warrior later on, but he couldn't resist this blow.

There was only a muffled "boom", and it was visible to the naked eye that a piece of his vest was dented, and his whole body was brought down to the ground.

With this hammer, the cavalry quickly moved away, revealing the female general behind him.

The female Li Chengjun stabbed the spurs of her feet into the horse's belly fiercely, increased her horsepower to the maximum, bent her body and held a long spear, and rushed forward quickly.

"Ying Xiang!" Wang Shen yelled sadly, and strode forward.

At the same time, Lu Can and Gu Lie also rushed up.

Lu Can had already embraced the will to die for the country, and Gu Lie was an old soldier. At this moment, he was full of stamina, and he didn't bother to blame Wang Shen.Anyway, everyone is going to die today, so fight one by one.

The horse's iron hooves stepped on the stagnant water fiercely, and large red waves splashed.A pair of bright eyes full of sarcasm amidst the rumbling sound of thunder, if you fight a cavalry with a step, and a long spear with a short weapon, that is to hit a stone with an egg.

Wang Shen had no time to think about it, he stood still suddenly, stepped forward with his left foot, kicked his right foot on the ground, sank deeply into the mud, leaned forward slightly, stared at the approaching horse with piercing eyes, all the muscles in his body Tight as iron in an instant.

At this moment, he suddenly fell into a mysterious realm.Time stopped, everything was in slow motion like in a movie.The war horse slowly opened its mouth, and the white air from the mouth spewed out slowly, water droplets floated in the air, and the horse lance slowly moved forward.

"It's now!"

Wang Shen yelled violently, turned around, and swung the saber with the strength from his waist.

The black shadow was like an arrow, and Ma Qian brushed past his breastplate.Being able to explode a cluster of sparks in such humid air shows how powerful this gun is.

The light of the knife, the light of the knife like a crescent moon.

Cut into the horse's neck, cut off the cervical spine, and come out through the body.

The huge Hequ horse fell down suddenly, and rushed forward directly into the bloody mud.

A trace of panic flickered in the eyes of the female general on the horse, and then she was thrown off the saddle by the huge inertia, and fell headfirst to the ground.

At this time, the huge horse's head that was chopped off by Wang Shen bounced into the air, and the blood mist rushed to the sky, and everything around was shrouded in red.

"Kill!" Wang Shen, Lu Can, and Gu Lie seemed to have just been picked up from a river of blood, their eyes turned red, and they roared loudly. The three knives slashed at the fallen female general from different angles.

The female general rolled in the mud a few times, and the long spear in her hand had fallen off.Seeing the three attacking, the panic in the eyes disappeared instantly, replaced by an unyielding stubbornness.

With a clear whistle, she suddenly pulled out two knives, one long and one short, hanging from her waist, and she spun around like a spinning top.

"Dangdangdang!"

The three of Wang Shen only felt their bodies shake and they froze.

This woman is so strong.

"Huh!" Before the three of them could use the second move, the female general rolled on the spot, and then she jumped up after rolling out a foot away.He stomped non-stop for eight steps, with the short knife behind his back, and the long knife pointing forward, laughing angrily.

Her helmet had fallen off, her hair was hanging loose, and her delicate face was covered with mud and water.

Behind her, ten heavy cavalry rushed forward, and they were about to crash into the rebellious army of the supply camp.

Suddenly, a gong sounded.

"Woo!" Ten people stopped their horses at the same time, and turned their heads to look in surprise.

"Xuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..."

This is the sound of feathered arrows tearing through the air.

Wang Shen yelled badly and rolled on the spot.

Before he could yell out, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a black light hitting the chests of Lu Can and Gu Lie at the same time.

"It's over!" Wang Shen's heart sank, as a bow master, how could he not see that this was someone's sudden cold arrow.Moreover, the strength contained in the piercing sound was actually stronger than the God Arm Bow, at least two hundred pounds... no, it might be even bigger.

Even if the two of them were wearing armor, they would probably have a hole shot in their bodies.

With this kind of strength, who can use such a strong bow, who else is it but Li Cheng?

Li Cheng, Li Tianwang is here.

Before he could take a breath, another black light came straight towards his face.

So precise, so fast.

This continuous string of arrows is as straight as a machine gun. Compared with others, my own archery is only a three-year-old's.

Before he had time to think about it, Wang Shen subconsciously slapped the blade in front of his face.

"Dang!" It was like being hit by a sledgehammer, the horizontal knife was bent like a bow, and then bounced off hard.

Wang Shen's chest felt hot, he sat down on his buttocks, and slipped a meter away along the muddy ground.

At this time, he saw clearly that the arrows of the arrows shot were all round steel balls, yes, they were hammerhead arrows.

In the cold weapon war, the arrow in the hands of the archers is not a triangular sharp weapon as later generations imagined.

But according to different uses, there are various designs.There are three-edged armor-piercing cones designed to break through armor, there are arrows with whistles attached to the arrows for transmitting signals, there are shovel-headed arrows that inflict terrible wounds on the enemy, and there are hammer-headed arrows that make the enemy lose their mobility instantly... There are more than ten kinds of varieties.

Obviously, it was the hammerhead arrow that shot over just now.

In this way, Lu Can and Gu Lie can't die yet.

He looked out of the corner of his eye, and sure enough, both of their breastplates were deflated, and their bodies were so painful that they hunched over.

"Okay!" A loud voice came from afar.

Yiqi rushed out, like Dayue appeared in front of Wang Shen in an instant.
