Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 1300
"Let the guards come to reinforce me, don't hide in the camp for me, give me a flag, the officials below must stand up, and they can't retreat even if they die."

Seeing the Jin army swarming up, Feng Yuan knew that it would be impossible if he didn't try his best. The heavy stockade could not be moved, and the chariot army had to resist the pressure of the Jin army. He could only hope for reinforcements from Zhongzhai, Longwei Shenwei, It's just a stress reliever.

Sure enough, more than [-] officials and soldiers rushed out to the soldiers' village between Zhongzhai and Xizhai. They formed a small square formation and shouted three times in unison. Attack.

These are the remnants of the God Guards and Dragon Guards who retreated. They were rescued by Feng Yuan's light soldiers in a desperate situation. Naturally, they were not allowed to wait for the end of the war, but to increase their defensive strength.Since the Jin army took the risk of assaulting the Song army's inner defenses, these soldiers must fight, which is their value.

Although some people were terrified, they still moved forward bravely. More people breathed a sigh of relief, and wanted to kill a few more prisoners to avenge their shame. It was an absolute shame to be captured once.

Li Cheng immediately dispatched his own soldiers, plus hundreds of cavalry to fight back, to curb the attack of the Song army and protect the flanks of the attacking troops. .

Under the threat of knives and axes from the generals and schools of various ministries, the infantry of the Jin Army advanced tremblingly, but they were hit by the Song Army's medicine arrows for the first time.

The killing effect of the medicine arrow is quite impressive. This is also Feng Yuan's order to use the reserve medicine arrow. Since Jin Jun is desperate, he will not begrudge the medicine arrow. If there is a bird to save, you will be taken down by others. The saved arrows will also become trophies and sharp weapons against one's own people. Only by persisting can we get more reinforcements from the inside troops.

The crossbowmen had almost no time to rest. They repeated mechanical movements without stopping, and fired deadly arrows at the crowd. The scale was different from that in the morning. Those pawns were all in fear, for fear that they would be hit by blood mold. .

It's a pity that their fate cannot be decided by them. The Song Army has almost inexhaustible crossbow arrows, making them difficult and paying a high price for every step forward.

Crossbow arrows are very expensive, big arrows are also very expensive, and medicine arrows are even more expensive. Where is the Song army fighting? It is simply throwing money and throwing money at people!
Just look at the quiver beside those crossbowmen, each of them has two soft quiver, equipped with a hundred arrows, although the medicine arrow is only a part, it also makes people feel cold.

Li Qiong is learning the lesson, and Li Cheng has also learned it. He watched the magnificent defensive scene of the Song army, and sincerely lamented from the bottom of his heart that the Song dynasty is not what it used to be. When he was a general in the Southern Dynasty, how could he be so happy? The use of arrows is like splashing water, and it seems that they can never be used up. At that time, only the most elite troops of each department could be equipped with medicine arrows and iron shells.

Gaoping's defeat was really accidental. If they carried perfect war defense equipment, the Song Army's army formation would be a meat grinder. The stone machine, the axeman and the hot hand are ready to charge at any time, and they will be easily broken by the golden army.

However, relying on the lives of the pawns, they still broke through the first line of defense and began to climb up the mound.The knives and axemen behind were extremely ferocious, as long as they dared to stop, they would kill without saying a word, their eyes would turn red.

Even if the Song army had the advantage of a strong crossbow and reinforcements were coming, Feng Yuan also felt under great pressure. He kept motivating the officials to take turns to shoot, so that the officials who did not have bows and crossbows should use stones instead of thinking about armored battles. Don't even try to save arrows, exhaust all resources, and definitely cause serious damage to the Jin army.

On the sloping ground, under the dense arrows, those pawns had almost no chance of surviving. The corpses gradually piled up, and they were still attacking crazily. This was their humble fate, even worse than the ants on the ground.

Isn't this the case with the Song army? In the frenzied tide of fighting between the two sides, the power of the individual is so small, life and death are not under his control at all, and there is no time to clean up the remains of the dead.

The Jin army approached the second wooden fence again, and the crisis became more and more serious.

The wooden fence of the second line of defense became the dividing line for the two sides to engage in fierce hand-to-hand combat. The battlefield space was limited, and the two sides could not invest too many troops in the front line, and they were almost evenly matched.

However, the Jin army has an advantage in strength. The first row died in battle, and then came up to the second row. It is true that Feng Yuan was prepared, but he didn't have so many troops to adjust. There are more than [-] guards, plus [-] archers from Chenzhou and Jingji Township Army, that is, more than [-] troops.

What's more, the Longwei Shenwei troops are still under the mound, and they are being counterattacked by the Golden Army cavalry, and their strong momentum has stagnated.

"Don't mess up, everyone stand up for me, the reinforcements are coming." Feng Yuan calmly dispatched officials and soldiers to intercept the Jin army's offensive.

A general ran up to him, covered in blood and dust, and hurriedly said: "Taiwei, if you can't stand it anymore, you'd better go down and enter the West Village."

Feng Yuan looked at Shi Jiang coldly, he still couldn't understand the current situation, all sides were fighting fiercely, only Zhongzhai had the ability to send troops.

However, the Jin army's invasion of nearly ten thousand people has already threatened the safety of the supply village. Zhongzhai has to protect the security of the supply village, but it can't allocate too many troops. With great pressure, it is impossible to have strong reinforcements in a short time. He can understand Cheng Jiao's hesitation.

In all fairness, General Shi's suggestion is not wrong. The battle has progressed to such an extent that they should gradually join the reinforcements of the Divine Guard and Dragon Guard and retreat to a safe area.

"Taiwei, you can't hesitate anymore." Shi Jiang saw Feng Yuan's face was cloudy and uncertain, and thought that he was hesitating and calculating gains and losses.

"Nonsense, let me go down and resist, if you dare to say retreat, the military will do it." Feng Yuan suddenly saw that the officers on the side showed panic, and immediately realized that the army's heart was shaken, and if he continued to speak, it might cause panic, so he immediately sternly reprimanded.

General Shi misunderstood, thinking that Feng Yuan was not good at breaking out of the siege because of his face, and needed a few words of persuasion, and immediately said: "The Taiwei is responsible for the life and death of the entire army, and we must not be in danger. I also ask the Taiwei to break through, our brothers After the break."

"Demonic words confuse the crowd." Feng Yuan was furious immediately, he drew his sword and slashed without saying a word, not even extra nonsense, let the general with an unbelievable face, wide-eyed and slowly fell into a pool of blood, he raised his head Raising the bloody straight knife, he shouted loudly: "There is only death, and those who dare to retreat, kill."

The faces of the officials on the left and right changed, but the fear just now turned into a cloud of smoke, replaced by a bleak determination.
