Chapter 208: Overturn

Crack! The not-sharp flexor blade easily untied the fragile skin and vertebrae under the rapid horse speed and skillful skills of the knife-maker, and cut off a head as messy as artemisia.

Usually, the heavier the sword and gun are, the less it will be cut or just half the blade. It will never feel as sharp as a meat-cutting knife when it feels like a sharp cutter. I think it is also known that if the blade is polished thinly, it will be sharp enough to withstand a few bumps? Just like the "Yingjisha" knife in later generations, the blade is not pierced at all, but when it is cut off an iron bar, it cuts a mark.

The nearly forty kilograms of crooked sword in Guan Sheng's hand was a big sword without a blade, but it did not affect his attacks and killing the thirteen enemy troops one after another. At present, Guan Sheng, from his helmet to iron armor, was dyed red, which was quite suitable for his Red Shadow War Horse. Even the blue brocade bag under the jaw was purple and black.

Most of the soldiers of nearly two thousand chasm fled, but there were still more than a hundred soldiers and a heavy cavalry team with only twenty cavalry left tightly surrounded their patriarch. It can be said that if this loyal last warrior had not followed the death to death and built a solid barrier for their patriarch, Guan Sheng alone would not have been able to compete with the three thousand enemies with just one sword, no matter how ten times his courage was, he would not have been able to compete with the three thousand enemies.

That's right, this time, the commander of the Jin army, Puchayubalu, paid a large sum of money and mobilized a thousand cavalry and two thousand infantrymen in one breath, totaling three thousand army. He was determined to annihilate the 2,000 elite troops of Guan Sheng in one fell swoop and occupy Jinan Prefecture.

Among the two thousand infantrymen, more than half were Hebei's signature army, and some were Yan Han army, Khitan, and Bohai tribes. Most of these soldiers were Alixi, and they had to rush forward when fighting. When there was no war, they were the attendants of the regular soldiers who served as servants, such as feeding horses and replacing horses, replacing horseshoes, maintaining saddles and bridles, wiping armor, etc., they had to do it.

Perhaps because he had been in the Jin camp for a long time, whenever he was war, facing the Song army who looked like earth and was trembling, these Ali Xi was particularly happy, and they were like wolves like tigers, like hungry wolves pounced on the women.

However, the Song army in front of me had dealt with when they first came to the city of Jinan, which was indeed a bit difficult to crack. With the same force, it would be a considerable price to eat it. Fortunately, this Song army is already a tired army, and most of them are disintegrating, fighting for two thousand and two hundred, which is really easy.

Pucha Yubalu thought so now. He didn't even use a thousand cavalry. He only surrounded Guan Sheng's last resistance force of less than two hundred men. Then he led the cavalry to the north gate of Jinan City, and he wanted to step into the Jinan Prefecture that blocked his five thousand army for half a month. Among the thousand cavalry, the one who rushed to the front was Liu Lin, who had pledged the Jin camp since last night...

Guan Sheng hit the side with his sword, smashed the seventeenth head with the back of the knife, and then slapped the blood stains on his face with a strong breath. During the fierce battle, the hook of the brocade bag fell off and fell off at some point. The beautiful beard under the chin, which was well maintained, was also stuck in strands of blood stains, which was too ugly and ugly. However, for a general who was about to die on the battlefield in an instant, this is no longer important...

Guan Sheng took the horse-pillar sword and looked around with sadness. The surroundings were filled with dense enemy troops, waving various deadly swords, guns, axes and rods. From time to time, one or two cold arrows were shot out, adding new scars to the armor. And his heavy cavalry team, the sharpest sharp knife, was already bald. The horsepower of the heavy cavalry had long been exhausted, let alone sprinting, it was difficult to run. Are cavalry without speed still cavalry?

Now the last twenty heavy cavalry even had to be covered by the gunpowder formation composed of only a few dozen remaining infantry infantry to barely support them from being overwhelmed by the tide of the enemy. However, looking at the dozens of infantry who were exhausted and desperate, but still struggling to support them, no one knew how long they could last. Maybe it was a stick of incense, maybe a cup of tea, maybe the next moment...

What a good soldier, what a loyal subordinate! Guan Sheng closed his eyes in pain. If he had not seen a Jin general who was sending commanders in his sight, Guan Sheng really wanted to give up resistance and then make the other party promise not to kill his subordinates, and he was willing to commit suicide. However, even if he wanted to save the lives of his soldiers with one's own death...

At this time, the twenty heavy cavalry looked at each other and nodded together, as if they had decided something. They took off their helmets in an orderly manner, revealing young and exhausted faces. They turned their horses together, faced Guan Sheng, and at the same time pulled out the knife beside the saddle... The sharp knife face reflected the afterglow of the setting sun in the spring, and hit Guan Sheng's face...

Guan Sheng narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at the scars and all under his command, which were covered with arrows, and remained silent. The strange scene in the encirclement also made the layers of Jin army infantry feel a trace of unusual atmosphere, as if something big would happen next, and he couldn't help but gradually slow down the offensive.

A heavy cavalry leader turned the heavy sword and rolled it across his neck, and said in a deep voice: "Master of the House, we are wearing heavy armor, and we are difficult to fight when the horse is exhausted. Once we are dismissed, we will be captured by the enemy. Master of the House fights to the death, how can we survive? Master of the House take care of us, we will take the lead."

"Tao Zheng, take care of the government, let's take the lead!"

Crane! Nineteen knives were neatly mounted on their necks, and twenty resolute faces were not at all attached or hesitant.

Guan Sheng's eyes flashed with pain, and then nodded happily: "Okay, I am worthy of being my Guan Sheng's soldier. You go first, and I will arrive later--I will cut off another twenty heads to earn a fortune for you."

"Thank you, the commander!" A hint of joy appeared on twenty faces, and then the knife was swung back. Then, just drag it one by one, and you will complete the feat of blood three feet long.

Bang bang bang! A sound that should not have been heard on the battlefield at all sounded like firecrackers during the Chinese New Year, but how could there be firecrackers on the battlefield?

At this moment, Guan Sheng, the twenty cavalry who were about to commit suicide, the remaining soldiers of the wings, including thousands of Jin infantry, were stunned. After that, everyone heard uninterrupted screams, and the screams came from the west...

Rebirth! This is the first feeling of Guan Sheng and his soldiers. But what kind of rebirth is there in the west? Could it be the wing army or the brave soldier in Jinan City? Guan Sheng does not think that those quail-like soldiers will have the courage to splash. It is even more impossible to compare with Guo Zhen's previous performance. For some reason, Guan Sheng couldn't remember the "imprisoner" that showed his evil spirit last night...

Enemy help! The Jin army soldiers surrounding Guan Sheng and other wings, this thought flashed through their minds. A loud shout of shocking prices sounded. There were countless sharp bamboo spears flying in the sky, crossing the sky, and with heavy drop force, they rushed into the Jin army's body. The screams suddenly sounded.

Although bamboo spears are sharp, their penetration is definitely not as good as iron spear javelins. If the Jin soldiers wear armor, their lethality is still limited. However, these Jin army infantry are either signing troops or Alixi. It would be good to have a thick jacket to wear, and they still count on armor? Even if a few soldiers have armor on their heads, they are mostly old and broken. In addition, they are crowded into a ball because of the formation of an encirclement. As a result, only a few hundred sharpened bamboo spears assassinated seventy or eighty lives.

The commanding general of the Jin army kept roaring on the periphery: "The enemy is just using bamboo spears. Don't panic! The inner circle is still scattered, and the outer circle is scattered up..." Before he finished speaking, two more bamboo spears were thrown. However, this time the Jin soldiers were prepared, and the formation was dispersed and the side cards blocked them. The two bamboo spears killed 30 or 40 people. After that, there was no more bamboo spears thrown. I don't know if they gave up when the effect was not good or if the enemy's bamboo spears were used up.

However, just as the Jin soldiers were glad that they had avoided the life-seeking bamboo spear and were about to surround and kill the enemy, the soul-catching explosion sounded again... This time it was even worse. The bamboo spear could see the throwing trajectory, and the clever one could still hide. It was really not possible. It was safe to hide under the side cards. But, my God! What exactly were the flames emitted from those iron tubes? Why couldn't even stop the side cards, and the infantry fell down one by one?

The gunshots stopped for a while, and the footsteps approached. The Jin soldiers who were captured were at a loss. When the commander general cursed, waved the flag, and sent swords and axes to shock them. After finally stabilizing their positions, the group of enemies who came out from somewhere suddenly separated from both sides, and a group of soldiers holding iron tubes appeared in the center, and then half-kneeled to aim at their own positions...

Bang bang bang bang!

The Jin soldiers fell down again. Those who were lucky enough to be shot were pale, their eyes were full of fear, their eyes were filled with terror, their eyes were pale, and they were extremely afraid.

"Ho! Hi! Boom!"

The soldiers on both sides wrapped the iron tube team again and continued to move forward in uniform steps.

These soldiers lined up in a square formation of about 500 people, each row of about 100 people, and the three rows of people in front were actually standard infantry armor. The first row of soldiers held a thick infantry side card with both hands, and the second and third rows held iron spears that were three feet long, and the spear head and spear cover of all iron was five feet long. In other words, the enemy's weapons could basically not cut the wooden handle behind the iron sleeve... The second row of iron spears was mounted on the shoulders of the first row of soldiers, and the third row of iron spears was mounted on the shoulders of the second row of spear soldiers... It was like a fusion of a turtle and a hedgehog, and was pressing towards the Jin soldiers who were shaking their morale step by step.

Guan Sheng, who was surrounded by the core, was stunned by the Red Shadow Horse: Such a well-trained army seemed to be a little stronger than the soldiers in the commander's mansion that he had been grinding for many years. I have never heard of such a strong soldier in the entire east and west Beijing roads! What's more important is that the equipment of this army, such exquisite armor and standard spear, could only appear in the imperial guards when the Song Dynasty was at its peak in the past. It is reported that in Yingtian Prefecture, even the emperor's imperial camp army cannot match such armor. So, where did this army come from?

"Ho! Hi! Boom!" This murderous army had approached fifty steps.

Fifty steps are the critical distance for infantry to fight. Under normal circumstances, when two gaze-like troops reach this distance, they should accelerate and attack the other side. But the current situation is that one side is approaching step by step, and the momentum continues to rise; the other side is constantly stirring, and their intentions are depressed. If this continues, once the fight starts, it will definitely die ugly.

Seeing that something was wrong, the generals of the Jin army sent out flag-holding commanders to beat drums and attack.

Just as the Jin soldiers were gritting their teeth and holding on to the weapon, just as they were about to attack, a whistle suddenly sounded behind the large array, and the first three rows of heavy armored soldiers dispersed like waves, and the army wearing strange hats and holding strange iron tubes appeared again...

With this close-range musket bombardment, the formation of the Jin army began to loosen, and the Jin soldiers on the periphery continued to squeeze back to the inner circle. At this time, the heavy armored gun and card army shouted in unison and accelerated. The heavy cards in the hands of the front row of the next card soldiers crashed into the panicked Jin army formation, squeezing the already loose Jin army formation into chaos. The spear soldiers in the second and third rows of spear soldiers continued to stab the spears from above the next card, retracted, and stabbed them out...

Every time the spear infantry phalanx took a step, dozens of Jin soldiers would fall down ahead. Under the city of Jinan, blood was filled with evil spirits.

The soldiers in the front row of the Jin army were squeezed by the side cards so that they could not free their hands to fight back. However, the soldiers behind were not long enough and could not reach them. Some of the Jin soldiers who used long swords and sticks slashed on the thickened side cards and the infantry armor, and had no reaction at all... In this situation, they could only be assassinated by people like targets but could hardly fight back, and the Jin army's front continued to shrink.

The Jin soldiers first took a small step back, and then their pace became faster and faster. Finally, the soldiers in front simply threw away their weapons and turned around and ran away. The soldiers in charge of the battle behind didn't even bother to raise their swords to kill their companions. They had to run away, and it would be a disaster if they were left behind!

Reinforcements descended from the sky, and the Jin army was in chaos. The remaining soldiers of Guansheng, who were surrounded in the center, suddenly had a great morale. They tried their best to rush westward. The spear formation also hedged towards the direction where the remaining soldiers of the Xiang army were trapped. The two forces combined were like two gears, one big and one small, and two gears rotated and advanced. When the two "gears" bite together, the obstacles that hindered their merging were all broken.

The two armies collided with each other while trampling on the bodies of Jin soldiers. It is no exaggeration to say that they were colliding. When they were like two armies digging tunnels and approaching each other, they almost couldn't hold back and collided with each other.

When the two sides, who were red-eyed, raised their swords and guns at the same time, the commanders of the two armies rushed to the front of the formation in time to stop them.

"Loyal and brave brother?!"

"Brother!"

The first sound was full of surprise and surprise, and the next sound was full of relief.

Guan Sheng's narrow eyes had never been so big, and he stared at the commander of the fierce army that broke out in front of him - it turned out to be his clan brother Guan Zhongyong!

"How are you here? These soldiers..."

"This is thanks to the order for the departure of the city that my brother forced to me last night, so I can successfully leave the city and draw reinforcements." Guan Zhongyong bowed to Guan Sheng, "It's fine if my brother has nothing to do, but please rest, and the remaining enemies will be handed over to me."

Seeing this clan brother calmly commanding this powerful armored soldiers formation, strangling the scattered Jin soldiers like a huge mill, Guan Sheng looked dazed. He never thought that one day, this clan brother who was taught to lead troops to fight by himself and whose military duties were far from him would lead a strong soldier beyond his imagination to save himself from desperate situations. Could it be that all this is the strength of the Tianshu City he mentioned?

Sharp firearms, powerful military troops, excellent equipment, and King Ji... How many unspoken powers do this Tianshu City hidden deep in Taihang have? Guan Sheng paid attention to the power to which his clan's brother belongs for the first time.

While Guan Sheng was thinking, he suddenly heard a panic-in shouting at the neighing of a horse. He looked closely and saw a huge change in the direction of the city gate. (To be continued.)
