Chapter Thirty-Four
.
The spear broke the flag, which shocked the tens of thousands of troops confronted each other. Even the officers of the Lanzhou Army forgot to issue orders to shoot. After a few breaths, tens of thousands of soldiers were in an uproar, like a balloon blew up, and the Song army was filled with shocking cheers. Lingzhou inspector Dong Zunhui also showed a glorious face. He looked left and right at the governor of Yinzhou Li Keyuan and the governor of the Hexi Army. The meaning was obvious. These were the warriors of the Song Dynasty. The warriors forged by the century-old bans in the Central Plains are not something you can imagine if you wait for the border vassals. He forgot that he was originally going to send this forest to die.
In Chen De's army, from the commander-in-chief, to the soldiers, all shouted and scolded, showing anger. Chen De's prestige in the army was full of storms and converged all the way, and he had a foundation. At this time, Chen De was the life of the soldiers, and was relied on wealth and wealth. He was actually broken by people in front of the two armies, which was equivalent to slapping the 30,000 new army in broad daylight. After seeing the Song cavalry general meeting with his subordinates, he did not retreat, but stood outside the land of an arrow. It seemed that there was something to say, and both left and right looked at Chen De.
Chen De's face was also quite unkind. Looking at the face of the vicissitudes of Song General, he said in a deep voice: "Dare to destroy our military flag, who will shoot me?" In front of the two armies, it is not a place to cherish talent. This Song general is so brave that he fought in front of the formation and would take away the lives of many warriors under his command. In this way, the plot of Cao Mengde Changbanpo in the storytelling book, the plot of Cao Mengde's order to capture Zhao Zilong alive was like a child's play. The cherishment of the enemy is the cruelty of his comrades.
The generals waited for this sentence. Although the forest was quite cleverly stopped a little far away, there were strong bows and crossbows in the army. After Chen De's order, archers Mi Di, Ma Jing, Zhongtong and others who were proficient in long-range shooting took the bow and arrow, carried their powers and turned their heads to watch Chen De's order.
The forest walked in front of the life and death pass in a flash, secretly calling for luck. If no archers in Chen De's army had fired arrows without permission, and the officers below Chen De were shocked and angry for a moment, they had not issued orders. No matter how powerful his martial arts were, they would have been dead at this moment. He strongly calmed down his violently beating heart, took a deep breath, looked at the group of generals on the opposite camp, and shouted loudly: "I am the lieutenant of the Great Song Dynasty's Xiaowu Army, and came to invite the battle in the name of General Dong of my family."
Finally figured out the meaning of Song's future. Before he finished speaking, Chen De shouted in a deep voice: "Show the arrow!" The soldiers are the tricks. The two armies are not a place to sit in front of the formation. The captain dared to break his general's flag, so he had to be prepared to sacrifice his life. With a sound of a string, dozens of archers released their thumbs and index fingers at the same time, and the arrows flew towards the Song general like meteors rushing to the moon.
Seeing that the horse was about to be shot to death in the forest, tens of thousands of soldiers watching the battle on both sides seemed to exclaim at the same time. Dong Zunhui, the inspector of Lingzhou, also shouted angrily: "Despicable!"
The forest had already expected that Chen De would not give up, but he did not expect that there were so many archers in the enemy army at this distance. He had not regretted it, and subconsciously picked up a big gun handed over by his subordinates, danced the gun flowers, protected the man above and protected the horse below, and shot several eagle-feathered arrows flying from the door and the throat, but could not be completely covered. Dozens of arrows were still shot on the chest, shoulders, and horses. Although the good armor of the Imperial Army Captain made most of the arrows unable to penetrate, several arrows still penetrated through the gaps of the armor and penetrated deeply into the muscles. The horse was even more pitiful. Three arrows were shot on the horse's head, and more than thirty arrows were shot on the chest and thighs. He almost fell to the ground without even having time to whine. He almost fell from the horse in the forest.
The cavalry of the left and right Wushu Army were frightened and angry, and all rushed forward. While dancing weapons to block the coming arrow feathers, they helped the forest up from the dead horse. A cavalry gave him his mount. The forest endured the pain, held the arrow tail feathers that penetrated the armor with one hand, pulled out the waist knife with the other hand, gritted their teeth and waved the knife, and cut off the arrows inserted into their body with a click. The cold sweat of soybeans flowed down the cheeks in the forest. He reached out and pushed away the cavalry surrounding him, revealing his figure, took off the large gun hanging horizontally on the saddle, and held it high in the direction of Chen Deyingxiang.
Seeing that the Song army formation was so brave, after a brief silence, huge cheers erupted. Not only was the sound even better than last time, but it also came one after another and continued for a long time. Li Keyuan, with a ugly face, had to say to Dong Zunhui: "There is such a brave general in the Song Dynasty. It is easy to defeat Chen De, so why worry about Yanyun no longer returning?" Dong Zunhui twisted his beard and smiled proudly: "There are many such generals like the lieutenant Lin in our army, and there are many hawks and dogs," he paused, looking at the forest that returned to the formation under the crowd of cavalry of the Wangwu Army, and turned to the flag official again, "I was scared by this, and I guess I would not dare to leave the station again today. Although Lin Zunhui killed the enemy's majesty, he did not complete the military order. If he had done his merits and demerits, he would not be rewarded or punished."
Chen De watched the Song army cavalry leaving in silence. Zheng Bing, the captain of the Crown Eagle Camp who was in charge of the archers, knelt down and said, "The subordinates are incompetent and have failed to shoot the enemy. Please punish the lord." Guo Nian, the new captain of the Ya military camp, was commanding the soldiers to raise the flag again in a hurry. Chen De looked around the faces of the generals and soldiers, all of which were angry and humiliating. He said in a deep voice: "Get out of the camp and line up. Since the enemy wants to fight so much, we will fight him! The shame of adding to the military flag is returned ten times!"
"Fight! Fight! Fight!" The commander of the army, who surrounded Chen De and was very excited by the fierce performance of Song Generals, immediately drew out the sword and shouted loudly, "Ten times the reward! Ten times the reward!" According to the rules of the Lanzhou Army, if the enemy is seized, the number of the battalion will be cancelled from then on, so the military flag in the Lanzhou Army is extremely respected. The enemy destroyed Chen De's own flag and retreated unstoppable, just like using red cloth to tease a bull in heat.
Dong Zunhui, who was so proud of such an army, could not imagine. Chen De looked at the surging army with satisfaction. When he went to fight, he would definitely think that he would let go of his guard because of his anger. This would be more conducive to creating opportunities for hunting and Baiyu's army to attack. Thinking of this, Chen De raised his sword and pointed at the back of the Song General of the Broken Banner, and said in a deep voice: "Defeat the enemy, you will see people in this life, and die in a corpse!" This sentence will completely arouse the generals who were frustrated because of the humiliation of the flag.
Chen De's troops were originally going to fight in a whole team, so he ordered the six crossbow battalions, under the cover of the cavalry, formed a long snake formation with a character, covering heavy infantry out of the camp. The so-called laymen watching the excitement and experts watching the way. As soon as Chen De's troops left the city to form a formation, the generals and schoolmen of the imperial guards who were used to fighting frowned a little. When the camp gate opened, the crossbowmen came out one after another. Under the leadership of the school lieutenant, three thousand crossbowmen had formed a strict formation, quietly.
Standing with a bow facing the direction of the imperial guards, there was no noise, no noise, and there were not even soldiers looking around. Only the commanders and centuries long and clear commands came with the wind. Only the middle-level imperial guards who had been dealing with military soldiers for many years knew how difficult it was to do this with ease. Before they knew it, some people's blood boiling because of their heroic behavior just now had cooled down, and some people's hearts began to rise.
The forest was covered with injuries by the military doctor, and Dong Zunhui would not allow him to avoid the battle. He tried to ride a horse back to the front. Looking at the enemy's formation in a flash, the forest couldn't help but shout in secret, thinking that he was worthy of being an elite soldier who was shocking Hexi, but it was not unfair to die under such a warrior. When looking again, under the obstruction of the crossbowmen who had already arranged the array, the situation of other enemy camps could no longer be seen clearly. He felt that a murderous aura in the air was getting heavier and heavier. He turned around and looked at the flying flag of the party, sighed, and subconsciously placed his hand on the big gun in front of the saddle.
Under the cover of the crossbowmen, the spear battalion formed a square formation of five in front, four behind, and four in front, Chen Deya's military camp, two Modao battalions and three sword shield battalions were arranged in a rectangular area among the two rows of spear phalanxes. The two Modao battalions protected the left and right wings of the spearman's formation. Thousands of cavalry of the cavalry gathered in the right front of the infantry formation to support them.
Dong Zunhui patiently waited for Chen De's army to form the formation. It was not because of his kindness. He did not want to scare Chen De's troops back to the camp to defend the enemy because of premature attacks. The cavalry of the vassals was not good at attacking. If Chen De made up his mind to defend the camp, the imperial guards would suffer greater casualties. The two border vassal divisions around him were also two hungry wolves that needed to be wary of. Since this was the case, he simply let Chen De set up the formation calmly and then defeated them in one fell swoop.
However, the short time for Chen De's army to set up the formation was still far beyond his expectations. Seeing that the enemy's central army flag was raised, it seemed that the formation had been completed, but he stood quietly on the ground and had no intention of attacking. Dong Zunhui smiled slightly in his heart: "Do you have a chance to send troops while they are angry. The formation has been completed, but they are timid. God knows how this person can accomplish this? Is it really a result of luck?" He commanded the army for a long time and was domineering, and only made a gesture. The flag plaque officials rushed to pass the general's orders. Without waiting for the cavalry to test the enemy's false reality.
The imperial guard formation slowly advanced towards the other side. As soon as the formation moved, the captains of each battalion and headed the heads, all loudly scolded the soldiers for maintaining a good formation, which was completely different from the strict atmosphere just now. The two Tubo cavalry on both sides were even more unbearable. Not only were they in a disorganized formation, they walked at times fast and sometimes slow, but the Tubo soldiers also slightly exceeded the imperial guard formation by about fifty steps. However, the Dangxiang cavalry was 50 steps behind. The original front lines on the east and west lines began to be slightly tilted before they even fought.
However, these are normal phenomena. It is not about playing martial arts in the school review field. What does it matter if you walk a little crookedly? The imperial guards of the Song Dynasty have the most important bows and crossbows. They just need to move forward to the range of the crossbow and shoot thousands of arrows at the same time, and Chen De's appearance is beautiful. Dong Zunhui is scheming in his heart. Looking at the Chen Dejun formation that is still standing still in the distance, a relaxed smile appeared on his face. For decades, the imperial guards of the court have been invincible.
