Zhang Qi held the spear in his hand. After a long time, he breathed out gently. He said in a deep voice: "Kill the Jinlu who rushes into the formation, I will hold this place!"
The soldiers promised. Everyone urged their horses to go back.
Han Chang gently urged the horse to come up slowly. More than two hundred steps away from Zhang Qi, drums suddenly sounded. With the sound of drums, the Jin army shouted to kill Zhentian, and followed Han Chang behind, rushing towards the Song army.
The Song army was suddenly surrounded, their formations were not deployed, and their bows and crossbows were completely useless. Being rushed by the Jin army, they immediately became chaotic.
Han Chang held a spear in his hand and attacked Zhang Qi directly. The huge army was like a dark cloud, pressing towards the Song army.
Zhang Qi looked at the charging Jin Jun with a serious expression. When he got close, he shouted loudly and rushed towards Han Chang. You come and go, and within a few breaths, Zhang Qi and Han Chang are fighting each other. The surrounding soldiers couldn't get close enough to fight each other, and they also fought together.
In less than an hour, most of the Song army was wiped out. Only two to three hundred people were left, tightly surrounding Zhang Qi and confronting the Jin army.
Han Chang slowly withdrew from the enemy group, looked at the Song army in front, and said in a deep voice: "Prepare arrows! These soldiers have no bows and crossbows to help them, so they are just there to act as targets! Shoot them in confusion, and then take their lives! One You are not allowed to let go!"
The Jin troops next to him eagerly agreed and each took out their bows and arrows. The cavalry rushed forward, fired arrows when they were ten or twenty steps away from the Song army, and then easily slipped through the Song formation and retreated to the side. The Jin army behind them caught up, one wave after another.
Zhang Qi led his troops to block from the left and right, but there were too many golden soldiers, so people kept falling under the rain of arrows.
I don't know how long it took, but there were only less than a hundred people left in the Song army. Han Chang waved his hand and ordered the archers to retreat. Holding the steel gun tightly in his hand, he looked at Zhang Qi in front of him, his eyes like copper bells.
Zhang Qi has been killing for a long time, his arms are sore and numb, and he can't feel the pain anymore. Blood oozed from the corners of his eyes, and his vision began to become blurry. There are many arrows stuck in the body, like a hedgehog, the arrow feathers tremble slightly. He was stabbed in several places by spears, and blood seeped out of the armor, drawing strange shapes on the armor. There were only six or seven soldiers left around him, who gathered together with Zhang Qi.
Han Chang narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at Zhang Qi in front of him. As soon as he reveals a flaw, attack immediately. If we have the upper hand today, we must kill Zhang Qi among the rebels.
At this moment, a loud horn suddenly sounded from behind. As the horn sounded, the sound of horns continued to sound.
Zhang Qi turned around to look. There was only a blur of blood in his eyes and he couldn't see anything. But he knew that Dong came first.
Han Chang shouted loudly, raised his spear, and charged towards Zhang Qi.
Zhang Qi gritted his teeth, raised his spear, and fought with Han Chang. He knew in his heart that he was exhausted. It won't be long before Dong Xian can't make it, so today's fate will be decided here.
Suddenly, the shouts of killing were like a roaring mountain and a tsunami. A fast horse galloped in front, like a god descending to earth. Anyone who was blocked by golden soldiers would be knocked to the ground instantly. One person and one horse, blazing a trail in the Jin Army.
Han Chang looked back and saw that he was also shocked. He hurriedly raised his spear and greeted the incoming people. When I got there, I heard a loud shout in front of me, like a thunderclap, which made my ears hurt. When the two spears met, Han Chang felt like a mountain was hitting his spear.
Taking a breath, Han Chang retreated quickly. In front of him was a young general, only in his early twenties, with a slight mustache. Wearing a suit of iron armor, he is extremely tall. Holding an iron gun in his hand, he turned to look at Zhang Qi.
"Mr. Dong?" Han Chang raised his spear and asked tentatively.
Dong Xian turned his head, looked at Han Chang in front of him, and nodded slightly. After a while, he said: "I was careless and fell into your ambush. Now that the army has arrived, if we kill them, you won't get the slightest advantage. Let's forget about today's battle."
After Han Chang looked at Dong Xian, the Song army had arrived, and his men began to retreat slowly. Look at the sun in the sky, it has already set in the west, and it will be dark soon. He lowered his head and thought for a while, then said: "Observe and speak, then forget it."
Dong Xian looked at Han Chang and said in a deep voice: "Zhang Qi is a rare and fierce general who has never met an opponent in his life. I suffered a loss today at your hands. The general is also an extraordinary person. If we are destined in the future, Dong Xian will fight with the general!"
Han Chang said coldly: "Okay! I didn't expect that the Song Army still has a fierce general like you. Wouldn't it be a pity if we don't fight to the death?"
After saying that, he ordered his generals to gather the troops and retreat slowly. Han Chang held a long spear in his hand and looked at Dong Xian in front of him, his eyes like torches. It didn't take long for the Jin army to gather up and head east. Han Chang took a deep look at Dong Xian and Zhang Qi in front, sneered, put away his spear and followed his army. Although Zhang Qi was not killed today, he destroyed a thousand of his pursuers, which was still a great victory.
Watching the Jin army leave, Zhang Qi said on the horse: "Since the observation team has brought troops, why not keep this Jin army?"
Dong Xian shook his head and said: "I'm worried that you won't be able to hold it anymore. Besides, the Jin army has more than 3,000 people, and I can't keep them. The two armies fought hard and wiped out all the troops. How can I gain a foothold in this area? That's all. We missed a move and were ambushed by the Jin army. What can we say? Your eyes are dull and your body is swaying. It seems that you are seriously injured. Dismount, there is a chariot behind you, let's go back to the city and talk about it."
Zhang Qi nodded. He gently raised his legs and wanted to dismount, but where could he lift his legs? The whole body felt like it was filled with lead, and there was no strength at all. After moving his arm slightly, he felt severe pain and frowned.
Dong Xian hurriedly ordered his soldiers to carefully help Zhang Qi down.
After getting off the horse, the soldier let go of his hand. Zhang Qi wanted to take a step forward, but he raised his legs and sat down on the ground.
The soldiers hurriedly stepped forward and helped Zhang Qi up, not daring to let go.
Looking at Dong Xian, Zhang Qi sighed: "Today we really had a walk through the Gate of Hell! The person who ambushed us was General Han Chang of the Jin Army. When the Jin Army first came, I led my troops into the battle and shot him blind in one eye. . We met today. It’s really because of God’s mercy that the observation was so urgent that I was spared my life. If there is a chance in the future, I will fight Han Chang to the death!”
Dong Xian said: "On the battlefield, there are many life-and-death battles, so you don't have to worry about it. We will go back to the city, and you will take good care of yourself. This year's war is probably over here. Wu Shu is gone, and Luoyang is alone. Meng Bangxiong, what’s the use?”
After saying that, he ordered his soldiers to help Zhang Qi into the car and return to Shou'an City.
The sun had just set when Han Chang led his troops to the Jin army camp and hurried to see Wu Shu. Talking about today's battle, Han Chang said: "Zhang Qi of the Song Army was not only extremely brave, but also extremely endurance. I saw that he was about to lose his strength at the end, and he actually waited until Dong came to save him first. This is an extraordinary person. It will definitely be a problem in the future."
Wu Shu said: "We destroyed thousands of Song troops and frightened Dong Xian's courage! I think that after he returns, he will not dare to peek at Luoyang again! Tomorrow we will lead the army on a rapid march, not entering Luoyang, and going straight to Xin'an. Scouting ahead, The Song army has occupied Mianchi, no delay!"
Han Chang promised. He said: "Li Yanxian has reoccupied Shaanzhou. There are no more soldiers and horses than before, and there is no food and grass. He may not be able to hold it for a long time."
Wu Shu nodded and said: "Not only that, except Wang Xiaolie, he also has no other reinforcements. Dengzhou and Shaanzhou are more than 800 miles apart, and there are mountain roads in between. How many troops can Wang Xiaolie send and how many supports can be given?" Food and grass? Don’t worry, as long as you surround Shaanzhou, you can break the city in half a month at most. Attacking Guozhou at that time will be like searching for something!"
Han Chang hurriedly said yes. No matter how you look at it, the Song Army's occupation of Shaanzhou is not a big threat to the Jin Army. After several battles and the relocation of the people by Wang Xiaolie, Shaanzhou City had few houses around and had lost the ability to support the defenders.
Han Chang said again: "Meng Bangxiong has over ten thousand troops, do you want to go west with us? After today's battle, Mr. Dong must not dare to come to Luoyang for the time being. Zhai Xing in the south heard that there was a shortage of food and grass in winter, so the army went out to get food. .”
Wu Shu shook his head: "You have seen Meng Bangxiong's subordinates these days, how can they win the war? Letting them go west may hinder our march. Let him stay in Luoyang and prepare food and grass for us!"
The elite soldiers of the Jin Army are particularly able to endure hardships. In extreme cases, if there is no food, eating grass roots and bark can still survive for a few days. Of course, when they arrived in the Song Dynasty, as long as they could plunder food, they would never treat themselves badly. Luoyang is dilapidated and there are still some common people around. As long as Meng Bangxiong is ruthless, he can always plunder the food and grass that supplies Wushu. Of course, Wu Shu doesn't care how much money the people will have left next year.
At this moment, a soldier came in. Report to the Wushu Shou: "Your Majesty, something bad is happening!"
After saying that, he presented the information in his hand to Wu Shu.
Wu Shu unfolded it, and his face suddenly became very ugly. After a while, he said to Han Chang: "After breaking Guozhou, Li Yanxian sent troops to reoccupy Shaanxi Province, while Wang Xiaolie sent troops to Guanzhong. I just got the news that Wang Xiaolie's army has broken through Tongguan!"
Han Chang was startled. Said: "After defeating Tongguan, there are no more dangers in the pass. If Wang Xiaolie advances westward, wouldn't Jingzhao Mansion be in danger! Moreover, our food and grass are in Huazhou. If Wang Xiaolie's army gets there, it will be troublesome. !”
Wu Shu nodded with a sullen face. Said: "Wang Xiaolie came from Dengzhou. The road is far away and food and grass are inconvenient. In a month or two, he must withdraw from Guozhou. If he gets the food and grass from Huazhou, it will be difficult to say."
After saying that, Wu Shu slammed the table: "This Wang Xiaolie is really difficult to deal with! Before entering Guanzhong, I attacked Ruzhou and fought with him. He actually had a large number of cavalry in his army, which surprised me. , he won a battle. Now he saves Guozhou, it is really abominable!"
Han Chang said: "No matter how powerful Wang Xiaolie is, he only has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in several states. If the king and the second prince join forces and a hundred thousand troops march to Dengzhou, how can Wang Xiaolie resist it?"
Wu Shu shook his head: "The intention of the court is to take Guanzhong and then go south to take Sichuan and Shu. Both the east and west roads of Jingdong will be handed over to Liu Yu. Let's wait two years and see what happens to Liu Yu. If he If he can run the business well, let him defeat Dengzhou! Wang Xiaolie broke through Tongguan and approached Jingzhao Mansion. This matter cannot be taken lightly. The second prince and Wanyan Huonu's army went forward, and Jingzhao Mansion was their way out. Safety must be ensured!”
After saying that, Wu Shu walked back and forth in the tent several times. He said decisively: "Tomorrow the whole army will rush to Xin'an! Break Mianchi as quickly as possible and reoccupy Shaanzhou! If Wang Xiaolie dares to attack Jingzhao Mansion, he will block his army in the pass and don't go back to Dengzhou. !”
