When the two armies are fighting, of course there will be a moment when the army presses forward. But in most cases, a small group of troops will be sent out first to attack the enemy. When the enemy's military formation is unstable due to being overrun by a small group of troops, if the larger army presses forward, they will win in most cases.
Facing the Jin Army, which is known for its protracted warfare, it is impossible to disrupt its formation in a single battle. Zhang Qi's main purpose in rushing into the formation was to see if there were any weaknesses in the Jin army's formation, and he did not want to establish victory in a single battle. I just didn't expect that there would be a fierce general like Han Chang in the Jin army, and he was dragged into the Jin army's formation for a while. Seeing the right wing of the Jin Army slowly closing up, I could not help but feel anxious that I might be surrounded by the Jin Army.
One shot blocked Han Chang's gun, and Zhang Qi roared and charged towards the Jin Army formation beside him.
Han Chang put away his gun and was about to chase Zhang Qi. Unexpectedly, Zhang Qi in front suddenly turned around, bent his bow and nocked an arrow, and shot an arrow towards Han Chang like a meteor.
Han Chang shouted loudly, his left hand like lightning. Just when the arrow hit his right eye, he grabbed the tail feather of the arrow. For a moment, Han Chang felt severe pain in his right eye and trembled all over.
Seeing this, Zhang Qi was overjoyed, raised his spear, and was about to charge towards Han Chang.
At this time, Han Chang's face was covered with blood, and he vaguely saw Zhang Qi coming from ahead. Suddenly he let out a roar and pulled out the arrow from his right eye with his left hand. There was a bloody eye on the arrow, which looked a little weird.
Suddenly throwing the arrow on the ground, Han Chang held a spear in his hand, pointed at Zhang Qi and shouted: "Come on, come on, fight for three hundred rounds!"
Han Chang's face was covered with blood and his hair was messy. He was there like a fierce god. Zhang Qi sighed slightly. This arrow did not kill Han Chang, and the Jin army's formation slowly closed again. I am afraid that today they will have nothing to do.
With a sharp shout, Zhang Qi stopped fighting Han Chang. He turned his horse's head, led his cavalry, and charged towards the Jin army's formation.
Han Chang only felt cold and hot, and his body couldn't help trembling while riding on the horse. Seeing Zhang Qi coming back to fight back, he took a breath and chased after him with his men. The Jin Army cavalry were frightened out of their wits by Han Chang's fierce appearance and followed closely.
Killing and rushing along the way, Zhang Qi fought his way out of the Jin army's formation, already covered in blood. Looking at the one hundred cavalry he led, only fifty or sixty were left at this time. Everyone was covered in blood and almost everyone was injured.
Dong Xian looked at Zhang Qi's appearance and knew that there was no chance of disrupting the enemy's formation. Order the army to issue a gold medal and let Zhang Qi come back.
Zhang Qi led his troops back to the formation. Not far away, arrows rained down from the sky. Fortunately, all the cavalry were wearing armor, and only seven fell on the road.
Returning to the formation, Zhang Qi crossed his arms to Dong Xian and said, "The general is incompetent and failed to disrupt the enemy's formation! Please observe the punishment!"
Dong Xian said: "The Jin army has always been a strong army, how can we imagine that one battle will disrupt its formation! You have worked hard, please rest aside."
Zhang Qi promised and moved his horse to one side to rest.
Dong Xian looked at the Jin army's formation, which slowly began to become stable again, with a heavy expression on his face. You can't rush into the Jin Army's formation, but if you turn around, the Jin Army might rush into your own formation. Unlike the Jin army, our own army will not scatter when faced with enemy attacks. If the Jin army had a fierce general like Zhang Qi, who almost broke through their own military formation, it would be hard to say whether they could hold it steady.
Seeing Zhang Qi leaving, Han Chang wiped the blood from his face, returned to the army, and made a promise to Wu Shu.
Looking at Han Chang's face covered with blood, his right eye was horrifyingly hollow. Wu Shu said: "How serious is the general's injury? How do you feel?"
Han Chang said: "I was shot in one eye by General Song who just rushed into the battle. It's really not a serious injury. Fortunately, I can hold on!"
Wu Shu saw Han Chang's body shaking and knew that he was seriously injured. He quickly ordered his soldiers to help Han Chang down to rest. There are doctors in the army and they are asked to treat Han Chang. I specifically ordered you to use the best medicine and do not neglect it.
On the top of the mountain, Tanisaburo, who was lying on the top of the mountain watching the fighting below, sighed. Said: "Look at how brave the Song general is. He charged into the Jin army's formation as if he was in a deserted place. It's a pity that the Jin army also has strong generals, but he actually blocked it."
Qi Qing said: "In my entire life, this is the first time I have seen two armies fighting. So that's it."
Rong Sanlang nodded. He lay down and watched for a while, then said: "Why did the two sides stop fighting after a while? How long will it take to stand there empty like this? The Jin army traveled hundreds of miles to come, and they must attack the city. .”
Qi Qing smiled and said: "Dong Jian's army came out of the city, and the Jin army couldn't do anything, so why attack the city!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly heard the sound of a bell. I saw the Song army's rear formation changing into the front formation and slowly retreating into the city.
Qi Qing was stunned. After a while, he said: "This, this, is the Song Army defeated?"
Rong Sanlang said: "Just a few dozen people came out to fight for a while, why did they lose? It is probably because they saw that the Jin army would not attack, so they were bored and went back to the city to eat. After standing outside the city for nearly two hours, I was so tired. "
Qi Qing shook his head, unsure of what was going on. He and Rong Sanlang returned to the mountain col and told others what they saw. Speaking of excitement, saliva flew everywhere, making the beating just now even more lively.
After talking for a long time and going over it several times, everyone was tired of hearing it, so Qi Qing and Rong Sanlang stopped talking.
After a moment of silence, Jifu asked: "Where will we go after we leave home? Look at this mountain, there is not even a piece of flat land, so we can't live here. In the past few days, the Jin Army has searched all the villages in the mountain. , I’m afraid it won’t work if we don’t leave in time.”
Qi Qing said: "Of course we can't stay here. I've thought about this, why not go to Kongxiang Temple in the north. It's a famous temple, and there should be food in the temple. And they have land, and we can rent their land for farming."
Someone said: "If the Jin soldiers attack Kongxiang Temple, where will we flee?"
Qi Qing said: "Jin Bing is also a human being. How dare he offend Buddha? Buddhism is a quiet place. I don't think they will mess around."
Most people shook their heads, obviously not believing Qi Qing's words. There are more than a dozen people there, and no result can be achieved through discussion.
Shouan County Government, Dong Xian listened carefully to Zhang Qi's talk about today's war. Hearing that Han Chang was blinded in one eye, he still dared to call for battle and sighed: "This is also a hero! The Jin army always wins. I guess there are many such fierce generals in the army."
Zhang Qi said: "I didn't rush into the Jin army's formation today and returned without success. What should I do next?"
Dong Xian said: "First guard the city and wait for the Jin army to attack. After seeing the current situation, we will decide what to do next."
Zhang Qi said: "What if the Jin army crosses Luoshui and goes west from the north bank?"
Dong Xian said: "I have already ordered people to guard the intersection. The Jin army can't get through for a while. Besides, Luoshui is not like the Yellow River. There are only a few days in a year when it can pass through the ice. Wherever it is, it will be encountered at this time. superior?"
Zhang Qi nodded. It seems that the only thing that can be done is to allow the Jin army to attack the city. Dong Xian had enough troops and sufficient food and fodder, so he was not afraid.
