The idea is to sneak into the enemy's house, take advantage of him to sleep, cover his head and beat him. Unexpectedly, he carefully pries open the door, only to find that the enemy's house is full of strong men, full of food, carrying kitchen knives, and is about to start killing people. ——
This is probably the mood of everyone in Fang Qifu at the moment.
When the other party is over-prepared, it brings out one's own shortcomings.
Fang Qifu knew that his own troops were not as good as the opponent's elite. Since the sneak attack failed, the battle also lost its meaning, so he made a decisive decision and shouted:
"Wan Chun, you lead the main force to retreat first. Zhang Jian, Yuan Xing, and Wen Kerang each lead their own troops and follow me at the rear! Mao Di, Cui Yu, and Lian Ming retreated a mile away to form an array. Xu Bai, Zhang Daoyuan, Mi Quan, the three of you retreat and form a formation two miles away, while Wanchun and Bei Yingkui form a formation a mile further away. Blocking the enemy in this way will first weaken his energy before making any calculations."
Everyone was panic-stricken and helpless, but when they heard the commander's sonorous and decisive words, they were all overjoyed. Without thinking about it carefully, they all said in unison: "I respectfully respect the command of General Zuo!"
The troops under Fang La's command can be roughly divided into two parts: one part is the recruited soldiers, and the other part is the general's own soldiers.
After all, most of the people under his command are heroes from all over the world. They gather from all directions, and they all have their own strength in their hands——
For example, Zhang Jian, the "passing mountain wind", originally built a stronghold in Jiuhua Mountain, made a living by robbing and plundering houses, and had more than 600 minions at his disposal. When he joined the Ming Cult, these minions naturally followed him, and they were considered his personal soldiers. , can also be understood as a private army. He is responsible for food, clothing, housing and transportation.
When everyone started to take action and captured the city, they initially relied on the strength of each general and his subordinates. However, as the momentum grew, either the officers and soldiers surrendered or the hungry people got involved, countless more troops were naturally added, forming battalions of soldiers. These soldiers were all Return to Fangla to support him. If he goes to war, he will be handed over to General Zhang or General Li, depending on the situation. After the war, the seal will be returned.
Everyone has selfish motives. Since Fang La's uprising, he has killed countless officials, businessmen and landowners, as well as the enemies of the rivers and lakes who were eradicated by him. The gold, silver and grain obtained by these generals will naturally be used to provide for their own families and horses.
If a general dies in battle, and among his own soldiers there are no strong men who can stand up sticks, they will have no choice but to become soldiers or be swallowed up by another general.
But even if they become other soldiers, they are always latecomers and will inevitably be suppressed by the original soldiers. Therefore, these soldiers are willing to fight to the death for the general, and their combat effectiveness is naturally superior to that of ordinary soldiers.
What Fang Qifu said, "Each one leads his own troops" refers to these personal soldiers.
There are three generals: "Guoshanfeng" Zhang Jian, "Soul Soul Sword" Yuan Xing, and "Ghost Monk" Wen Kerang, with more than 4,000 soldiers under their command - there were not so many originally, and they also annexed the generals who died in the battle in the process. The remaining troops formed a formation, and Pang Wanchun led the remaining troops to retreat.
Tong Guan's army rushed out of the camp and saw that the Confederate troops were retreating one after another, leaving their troops behind to form a formation. He couldn't help but said angrily: "How dare you fight in the field with elite soldiers like me when you are a rebel? Wang, please let me break his formation." "
Wang Zhen received the order loudly and led thousands of people to fight out first. Zhang Jian and the other three shouted loudly for a fierce battle and led the army to strangle him together.
Wang Zhen went into battle this time armed with a big sword and dozens of capable cavalry. They clashed vertically and horizontally and fought with swords. During the fight, he bumped into "Ghost Monk" Wen Kerang. He recognized him as a famous general among thieves and was overjoyed. He said: "Where are you going? Leave your bald head behind so that I can repay your merits."
In normal times, Wen Kerang might have fought with him, but before that, he followed Shi Bao in the battle at Linping Mountain and was hit by an arrow in his left arm. He had no use for long weapons. He just carried a four-foot-long iron bone flower with one hand to bully the soldiers. What? Dare to stand up to a mighty general?
Without saying a word, he turned around and jumped up. Wang Zhen smashed his horse and chased him closely. When Wen Kerang was running away, he saw Yuan Xing fighting and quickly asked for help: "Brother Yuan, General Song is chasing closely." , help me quickly."
Yuan Xing turned around to meet Wang Zhen, swung his sword, and blocked Wang Zhen. The two of them danced their swords and jingled for more than ten times. The cavalry around Wang Zhen took advantage of the situation to rush and kill him.
These cavalry are all elites who have been fighting for a long time. If they were placed in the arena, they would be no match for the more superficial village masters. They rushed together like a basin of boiling water poured on a snowman, and easily defeated Yuan Xing. The soldiers were all killed and dispersed, and weapons were thrown at Yuanxing in a chaotic manner.
Yuan Xing had already used his best martial arts skills to deal with Wang Chu. Now there were swords and guns coming from all directions. How could he stop him with a single blow of his sword? Suddenly he was in a panic and exclaimed: "What a 'ghost monk', you have hooked up a murderer, and you can run away quickly!"
Seeing that Yuan Xing was about to die here, suddenly a five-flowered horse galloped over. Immediately sitting upright was a general, wearing a red flame robe and golden armor, holding a green dragon halberd two feet tall. He shouted: "Don't worry about Yuan Xing, I'm here to help." you!"
When Yuan Xing saw it, he almost cried with joy: "Ah, Seven Buddhas!"
The person who came was none other than the top master of the Ming Cult, Guangming Zuo Shi Fang Qi Buddha!
Fang Qifu didn't look as kind as usual at this moment. His eyes were wide open and his beard was spread out. Where he raised his hand, the green dragon halberd made a strange roar.
You must know that the halberd technique he learned has an extraordinary origin. It was inherited from Guo Ziyi, a famous general of the Tang Dynasty. It is famously called the "Thirteen Halberds of Qinglong to Fight Chaos". Although it only has thirteen moves, it is extremely powerful and infinitely varied.
It's just that this halberd, in the name of "fighting rebellion", fell into the hands of Fang Qifu, but it became the capital of the rebellion. Guo Ziyi knew it, so he had no choice but to remain silent.
Knowing that he was the leader among the thieves, Wang Chen became even more joyful and shouted: "If we all work together to kill this thief, Commander Tong will certainly not hesitate to reward him!"
The cavalrymen surrounded and attacked one after another. Fang Qifu showed no fear at all. He raised a move "Dragon Out of the Sea and the Universe Returns to Righteousness". The halberd roared out and stabbed a cavalryman backwards from his horse. Look at the strength. Like being stabbed? It was as if a chariot had collided head-on.
With such momentum, who wouldn’t be surprised?
However, Fang Qifu was unyielding when he gained the upper hand. "The dragon is riding on the waves, the sun and the moon are rising." He held the tail of his halberd with one hand and swept across with all his strength. In the dark night, it was like a bright moon rising, and the heads of three or four cavalrymen suddenly flew away. out.
Several cavalrymen took the opportunity to come from behind and were about to throw out their weapons, but Fang Qifu seemed to have eyes behind his back. He suddenly made a move, "The dragon looks back, don't ask about right and wrong." He turned around and swung his halberd, sweeping left and right. Several people turned around at the same time. Fall off the horse...
Wang Zhen was surprised to see him, knowing that he was killing like this and would lose his morale within a few moves. He stepped forward on his horse and struck him head-on with his sword. Several other cavalrymen also took the opportunity to rush forward and stabbed fiercely. Take out the spear.
Fang Qifu did not dare to underestimate him, so he used a move like "A dragon coils around its body and it is difficult for thousands of horses to conquer it". The halberd flew around him like a living dragon, knocking all the spears and knives away, and then followed up with a move like " "The dragon must fight for every inch of land when it flies back." It suddenly turned from defense to attack, stabbing, slashing, splitting, peeling, cutting, wiping, hooking... Showing all the lethality of the Qinglong Crescent Halberd, Wang Zhen danced the knife wildly, and finally took it. , but the other soldiers were all fatally wounded, screaming and falling from their horses.
Yuan Xing saw it and his eyes almost slipped out——
When Fang Qifu usually goes into battle, he is just like a former fighter who stabbed Hong Xian to death with one move. He always wins easily with three moves and two moves. He looks like a gentle breeze. Therefore, even the heroes of Mingjiao have not seen him. Fang Qifu was in a ferocious state with full firepower.
"What are you so stupid about? Let's stand shoulder to shoulder and kill this king!"
A loud roar brought Yuan Xing back to his senses. He turned around and saw that it was Wen Kerang who had chased Wang Zhen to the sky and into the earth before. How could he still have the fear on his face now? His face was full of excitement as if he wanted to bite someone, and he waved his iron bone flower and knocked a cavalryman off his horse.
Yuan Xing screamed strangely and swung his sword, killing two cavalrymen.
Fang Qifu was even more powerful. His halberd was tumbling vertically and horizontally, never leaving the king's vital points, occasionally sweeping it with a swing, killing no one who dared to come within three feet of him.
Wang Zhen fought hard for more than ten rounds, and all the cavalry around him were withered away. The infantry was blocked by Zhang Jian and his men. The more he fought, the more frightened he became. He waved his sword and was defeated.
When the soldiers of the Song Dynasty saw Wang Xun's defeat, they were all shocked. Fang Qifu turned around to fight, and they were so frightened that they retreated. Fang Qifu did not want to fight, and shouted loudly: "The elite of the Western Army is nothing more than this!" With a wave of his hand, he led the troops. With three generals in hand, he led his troops to retreat quickly.
When Tong Guan saw Wang Zhen return to the formation in despair, he frowned and shouted: "The traitor soldiers are already scared, how can they defeat him and kill him? Who dares to lead the troops to pursue him again?"
Liu Yanqing said: "Commander, Fang Qifu is so brave that no one person can defeat him. If we fight against Fang Qifu, the rest of the thieves will be insignificant! We can order Wang Yuan, Wang De, and Wang Zhen, father and son of the same rank, to go into battle." "
Tong Guan nodded in agreement, but Liu Guangshi's eyes widened and he thought to himself that my biological father is cheating on his son! The thieves are desperate and desperate, so just let the generals fight. How can you drag me into battle?
Momentarily helpless and dejected, he followed his father and ordered ten thousand elite soldiers to pursue him.
Tong Guan looked at the backs of Liu Yanqing and others, with a fierce light in his eyes, and suddenly said: "Shunchen, you should also go together and find an opportunity to shoot Fang Qifu! When the class teacher returns to the court, I will guarantee that your official position will be restored." "
After saying that, he waved his hand and slowly pressed forward with the army.
Fang Qifu led his troops to retreat. A mile away, three generals, "Little God Lord" Mao Di, "Cruel Hearted Jackal" Cui Yu, and "Black-hearted Bear" Lian Ming, had already lined up their 3,000 men to wait. Fang Qifu gave way. Zhang Jian and his three men led their subordinates to retreat first, while he stayed here and led Mao Di and his three men to face the enemy.
Not a moment later, Liu Yanqing sent his troops to kill him. When he reached the front of the formation, he suddenly stopped. Three or four thousand crossbowmen rushed out of the formation and fired a volley. The Confederate army was suddenly in chaos.
It was late at night. Although both armies were lighting many torches, how could they see the arrows clearly?
But when there was a loud rustling sound in the air, those Confederate troops fell over in rows. Who among the rest was not frightened? They couldn't help but retreat, Fang Qifu sighed sadly, and said helplessly: "You lead the troops and retreat first, let Xu Bai and others prepare to guard against arrows, I will kill him here for a while, and wait for you to retreat."
After saying that, the prancing horse waved his halberd and faced the rain of arrows to kill him.
Mao Di and the other three were stunned for a moment, and then they all shouted: "Is there any reason to let the coach decide to fight alone? When we are facing the enemy, we should live and die together!"
They each led their tribes and followed Fang Qifu to kill the generals. For a while, the southern army wailed again and again, and the casualties increased rapidly.
Fang Qifu did not expect that these soldiers and horses would dare to risk their lives and charge. He was moved and secretly sighed: With such loyal and brave men, why worry about the failure of the great cause of the Holy Duke?
Then the fighting spirit became stronger and he shouted loudly: "Fang Qifu is here, who dares to fight with me!"
This is called "fighting by name." Liu Guangshi was taken aback and shouted: "Ah! Fang Qifu is coming, shoot him quickly!"
Those archers shot at Fang Qifu one after another, and the southern army behind them also took a breather. Fang Qifu was overjoyed, and a halberd danced like a wind and rain. The place where the arrow was shot arrived in an instant. A horse crashed into the formation, and the halberd waved. came out and killed the crossbowmen, causing them to scream in agony.
Wang De shouted: "Leave me waiting here, how can you teach him to be cruel?" He swung his ax to kill, but Fang Qifu blocked it with his halberd. After several rounds of fighting, Wang Yuan stepped forward to help with his sword, but Fang Qifu showed no fear at all. , blocked with one shot.
Wang Zhen saw his three generals fighting for more than ten rounds. Fang Qifu showed no signs of spirit and sighed: "What a brave general! It's a pity that he is a traitor and refuses to contribute to the country." He waved his sword and went forward to kill him.
Wang Yuan's ability is already extraordinary, Wang's martial arts skills are slightly better than Wang De's, and Wang De's ax skills are even more brilliant. These three are rare fierce generals in the Song army. Fang Qifu can fight one against three. He is an astonishing artist. All we can do is block and parry.
At this time, Mao Di's three flying generals led the crowd to kill him. Their eyes were about to split, and they all shouted: "Damn General Song, are you deceiving me that there is no one in the Mingjiao?" They wanted to kill to help the battle.
When Liu Yanqing saw it, he shouted: "Guangshi, you and I, father and son, stop these three thieves and generals and don't let them save Fang Qifu."
He originally wanted to draw his bow and shoot, but he was afraid that he would become friends with his own generals. He gritted his teeth, raised his spear and went out, blocking the three flying generals.
Liu Guangshi watched the old man take action and hesitated for a moment. Liu Yanqing was already in danger. He couldn't help but feel sad and angry, and shouted: "How can there be a father who cheats his son like you in the world! I shouldn't have come with you just now, and now If you eat a thief and I will be killed, won’t you let the world drown me in spitting foam? Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!”
Amidst the shouts, this guy joined the battle group by clapping his horse and dancing with his gun.
Although he really lacked courage, after all, the son of a general had been practicing martial arts for more than twenty years since he was a child. At this moment, he was really desperate and fighting for his life. The spear was circling back and forth, which was a bit extraordinary.
His Liu family's ancestral marksmanship is not weaker than that of other generals, but Liu Yanqing is in his sixties, and his muscles and bones are gradually declining. Although Liu Guangshi is in his prime, he has never experienced a hard battle. After all, it is difficult to be a three-flying general like a wolf and a tiger.
After fighting for five or six times, the honest one-legged bronze man of "Black Hearted Bear" suddenly swept across. Liu Guangshi saw the fierceness of the attack and did not dare to parry. He shrank his head, but he was swept away by him. His sweaty hair fell down, and the night wind blew away. Blowing, I suddenly trembled, and the courage I finally mustered up disappeared like a tide, and I screamed: "Wang De! Come and save me, let the two of them deal with Fang Qifu..."
Liu Yanqing fired a few shots and blocked several attacks for his son. He felt sad in his heart: He had worked hard to train him for many years, but couldn't he become a general after all? With such courage, if he is no longer around in the future, how will he gain a foothold in the military?
Wang De heard the general's call, and although he was unwilling, he had no choice but to save his life. However, just as he was about to evacuate, Fang Qifu's halberd technique suddenly accelerated, and the green dragon halberd flashed like lightning, tightly entangled the three of them.
Wang De was startled and looked around, only to see Fang Qifu's face gradually turning red. It was obvious that he had used some technique to unleash his potential.
Naturally, this kind of skill cannot last long, and even harming the body afterwards is normal - people here are well-informed, so this section is not difficult to imagine.
However, everyone also understood what Fang Qifu meant. Liu Yanqing was the deputy commander of the Southern Expeditionary Army. If the three flying generals could take the opportunity to kill this person, Fang La's side would naturally gain momentum.
The reverse is also true. If Liu Yanqing supports Fang Qi Buddha until he is exhausted, the three generals can easily kill him. If Fang Qi Buddha dies, Mingjiao will immediately see a great decline.
The relationship is exactly a situation of one ebb and flow and the other ebb and flow.
Of the nine generals who fought in the field, eight of them saw the truth behind it. Even the Southern soldiers, who had suffered more than half of their casualties, gritted their teeth and blocked the surrounding Song troops from covering up the attack. Only Liu Guangshi screamed and cursed Wang De for losing him. The grace of knowing someone.
At this moment, Wang Shunchen, the "flower between the eyebrows", rushed over. Seeing that Liu Yanqing was in danger, he shot three arrows without thinking. Mao Di, the "little god", had flowers between his eyebrows. Xiong Lianming was shot through the throat, and the three dancing weapons suddenly stopped. Then his body trembled, he turned over and fell off his horse and died.
Liu Guangshi was overjoyed. When he turned around and saw Wang Shunchen, he praised happily: "The old general is worthy of the archery god of the Western Army. He has shot and killed Fang Qifu. This is a great success!"
When Wang Shunchen heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly. He looked down at his trembling fingers, and there was a trace of helplessness and sadness of an aging hero in his brows.
Fang Qifu didn't know that Wang Shunchen's fingers were broken and his muscles were broken in the battle that made him famous, and the muscles in both arms were severely damaged. He couldn't hold up chopsticks for a few years. Otherwise, why did he change his job as a civil servant?
Even though he had been raised for many years and treated by many famous doctors, he could only fire three bows in a row, and then he had to rest for a long time. If he were to forcefully shoot again on the spot, he would probably be worse than an ordinary archer.
Therefore, without saying a word, Fang Qifu took advantage of the power of Qiang Yun to still circulate, danced the green dragon halberd wildly, knocked out of the battle group, and looked south, fearing that if he escaped a little slower, there would be an extra long arrow at the vital point. .
As the saying goes: Qinglong tests his magic skills to fight chaos, and his flying generals become loyal to ghost heroes. Who knows that the great archer back then is now alone and lamenting his decline.
