Chapter 72 Confrontation
First update!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
With the wind blowing in his ears, Aji, with the joy of surviving a disaster, sat in front, holding the horse's mane tightly with both hands. Suddenly he remembered something, turned around and asked loudly: "Why are you riding behind us?
went?".
He Yuanqing rolled his eyes: "You think we are willing! Look back at those ants-like fleeing people. They are all running away. Only Ah Xing and I are riding horses. How conspicuous is this target? See the one in front of you
Isn’t there a high slope? That’s where Jin Gou’s Chinese army’s main camp is. It’s heavily guarded, but it happens to be stuck at the entrance to the mountain. If we want to enter the mountain, we have to go around that high slope. Do you think Jin Gou will turn a blind eye?
Are you looking at our two conspicuous riders slipping past their noses?"
In fact, He Yuanqing and Ah Xing had just tried to rush over, but were shot back by a burst of arrows from seven or eight Jin soldiers who suddenly rushed down the slope. As a last resort, they had to turn around and kill the enemy again.
Horses. In this way, one person and one horse have a greater chance of rushing over. But I didn't expect that there were one more horse and two more people.
Just when Ah Xing and He Yuanqing were thinking about getting another horse, the eight Jin soldiers who had previously driven them back with random arrows saw that the two men actually killed a Jurchen Jin in front of them.
Bing suddenly became angry.
These eight Jin soldiers all belong to the thousand elite cavalry of the Chinese army. It can be said that they are the personal guards of Zong Wang, the coach of the Jindong Route Army. These people are all selected from the entire army. They are skilled in combat skills and have rich combat experience.
Old soldiers, tough soldiers. If any ordinary soldier is placed in another army, he will be a corps commander or ten-man commander. Since their duty is to absolutely ensure the safety of the Chinese army, they do not participate in counter-violence operations. But this
It doesn't mean that they will allow prisoners to escape from under their noses.
The previous attempts of Ah Xing and He Yuanqing were stopped by the eight Jin soldiers who were ordered to attack. Since they were not ordered to pursue them, these Jin soldiers did nothing more than drive them back and let the friendly forces surround and kill them.
But things were different now. These two ignorant Southern barbarians actually killed their own tribesmen and plundered horses within their sight. This was a humiliation and provocation from the Dajin warriors, and they could not be let go under any circumstances.
After receiving the order to attack, the eight cavalry who were originally lined up in a line suddenly reined in their horses and raised their hooves, marking forward. The four cavalry in the middle took the center line, and the four on both sides took the outer line, radiating out in a fan shape, forming a faint fan.
A semi-encirclement situation.
Ah Xing glanced at He Yuanqing: "I'll take care of the four on the right, and the four on the left are yours. Be careful, don't let the golden dog hurt that boy."
He Yuanqing glanced at Liu Da behind Ah Xing, and smiled: "Don't talk about me, you have to be careful yourself. Hey, I say to the brother behind you, you'd better bandage the wound, don't wait until someone rescues him, the blood
But it drained away.”
Liu Da grinned, his lips were chapped and a little white: "It doesn't matter, you can't die from the flesh wound. I just want to kill the enemy, don't worry about me."
The two men whipped the horse's buttocks hard, and the strong horse let out a long, rhyming neigh, and accelerated forward.
The war horse captured by Ah Xing was relatively well equipped, including a riding bow, two bags of arrows, a spare one-handed axe, and a cavalry arm shield. Originally there was also a scimitar and a crow's spear, but after knocking down the golden soldier just now,
It fell and flew away.
Ah Xing bit the scimitar in his mouth, put on the arm shield, and then picked up the bow and took out the arrow. Phew! An arrow was shot, and a golden soldier rushing in front reacted very quickly. He twisted his body and was hit by an arrow in his shoulder. His body was shaken.
, he didn’t fall off his horse.
At this time, the golden soldiers on both sides raised their bows at the same time and shot two arrows one after another.
Ah Xing quickly deflected an arrow with his riding bow, and blocked another arrow with his arm shield. Then he took out the arrow again and shot it. This time, his target was the enemy's horse.
An arrow hit the horse's head, and the horse fell to the ground with a cry. The golden soldier who was hit by the arrow in the shoulder was caught off guard and flew out of the horse's head. It was his bad luck. He happened to land on his shoulder when he landed, and it turned out that it was just an arrow stuck in his shoulder.
The arrow penetrated his ribs, penetrated the heart of his lungs, and died immediately.
The three golden soldiers who were encircling and fighting were all frightened and angry. They raised their bows and fired, their screams piercing the air, and three arrows crossed.
Ah Xing put down his bow and arrow, pressed the horse's head with one hand, and Liu Da with the other, and at the same time lowered his body very low. Three sharp arrows flew past his back at the same time, and one of the arrowheads scratched his brown clothes.
, it’s really dangerous and dangerous.
Ah Xing knew in his heart that although his mounted archery was good, it was not his strong point, and he could not compare with these nomadic warriors who regarded mounted archery as food. If he had to fight against three, he really didn't know how he would die.
.The only way is to get closer and fight at close quarters, making the enemy's bows and arrows useless.
Thinking of this, Ah Xing decisively turned his horse's head to the right, took off the scimitar in his mouth, and rushed towards the golden soldier closest to him and the outermost. The two sides rushed towards each other, and they were about to collide in the blink of an eye.
Together. Because the enemy and we were too close, the other two golden soldiers at the side and rear had to put down their bows and arrows, take out their swords, and rush away in pursuit.
Ah Xing held the sword, and Jin Bing used the short axe. The two cavalry approached quickly, and the swords and axes struck fiercely. There was no expected sound of gold and iron, only a crisp click. The short ax in Jin Bing's hand had an egg-thick hardwood ax handle.
It was broken by one blow, and his neck was also broken at the same time.
Ah Xing tightened the reins hard, and the horse rushed forward for more than ten steps before turning back. Behind him, two golden soldiers were chasing after him, each wielding a mace and a mace.
Ah Xing raised the scimitar in his hand to his eyes and cut off an ax handle and a head. The scimitar also cracked a gap the size of a finger. Although it was still usable, the two golden soldiers who were killed now were holding
They are all heavy weapons. If you hit them hard for a few times, the knife will probably break. Ah Xing took a deep breath, drove his mount, and charged towards the enemy fearlessly.
The moment the three horses passed each other, the two golden soldiers on the left and right used their strong horsepower to rush and smashed the heavy weapons in their hands towards Ah Xing.
Ah Xing pressed his lips tightly, his eyes were as bright as fire. The moment he came into contact with the enemy, his hands suddenly spread out. The arm shield on his left forearm accurately blocked the bombardment of the mace, and the heavy blow also broke the arm shield into pieces.
At the same time, Ah Xing's machete in his right hand collided heavily with the mace that was coming towards him. In the heart-wrenching sound of metal clashing, seven of the iron teeth of the mace were cut off by the blade.
Eight, similarly, the machete was broken in the center from the original gap under the huge force of the mace.
Ah Xing changed his moves very quickly, as if he had expected the scimitar to break. But he saw his body leaning to the right as hard as he could, and with his right arm extended, he swung the broken blade backwards, smashing the golden mace that had just crossed it.
The soldier's helmet and neck guard were broken, and at the same time, the aorta on the side of the neck was broken. The golden soldier threw away the mace, covered his neck, and staggered off his horse.
In two rounds, two golden soldiers were killed, and one golden soldier remained.
Ah Xing did not intend to fight with him again. He just quickly threw down the broken blade, took off the one-handed hatchet beside the saddle, turned around and yelled at Liu: "Lower your head quickly!"
Liu Da fell down in fear, and Ah Xing twisted around and threw the axe. The short ax whirled like the wind, and struck hard into the wrong horse. Then he rushed out of the back of the golden soldier who was wielding a mace twenty steps away, and chopped him off his horse.
Down.
Ah Xing, who had killed four golden soldiers in a row, was slightly panting, and there were beads of sweat on his forehead. He moved his left arm a little, and it was okay. Although it was a little numb and sore, and maybe swollen, it did not affect the next step.
battle.
With Ah Xing's combat power, he would not have been able to kill four corps commanders. The physical strength of the ten-captain-level Jin soldiers dropped to this point. This is due to the food the Jin army rationed to the prisoners, which was basically mixed with black beans.
A small amount of finely chopped corn is no more than one grain a day (about three or four taels). This kind of food is the best concentrated feed for horses, but if people eat this... well, they won't starve to death, but don't expect to feel energetic.
.
Beside the saddle of the war horse that Ah Xing captured, there was a dry food bag containing dried meat and hard buns, as well as a water bag, which showed that the golden soldiers were fully equipped. Ah Xing wanted to replenish his physical strength, but there was no
It's time - He Yuanqing on the other side is being surrounded by three golden soldiers.
When Ah Xing single-handedly picked off four golden soldiers, He Yuanqing also faced off against four other golden soldiers.
If these four golden soldiers fired arrows at He Yuanqing from a distance, it would probably be enough for this kid to drink a pot. Those few golden soldiers had planned to do it, but at this time He Yuanqing made a special move: he raised his chin high
, his arms were stretched out wide, and a short ax kept spinning in his left palm, his silent contempt and provocation clearly revealed.
The four Jin soldiers were obviously angered. In terms of martial arts, the Jin soldiers really couldn't beat the Song people. Especially these few Jin soldiers, who were the best among the best, boasting that they could defeat a hundred Song soldiers with one person.
Just like the psychological advantages that Japanese soldiers had against Chinese soldiers in later generations, how could they be afraid of such a face-to-face challenge?
Seeing the four golden soldiers put down their bows and arrows, three of them stood still on their horses, and only one of them, who also wielded a short ax, stepped forward to challenge him. He Yuanqing secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He was worse than Ah Xing in riding and shooting.
How dare you play this game with Jin Bing? A duel with bravery is what he likes the best, and it's better to win one by one. It's really the best.
He Yuanqing laughed loudly and said to Aji in his arms: "See clearly, that horse will be your ride later."
The two sides approached quickly, each holding out the short ax in their hands at an angle, closer, closer... Aji's eyes widened, his whole body stiffened, and he watched the ax blade shining with a faint green light, in his pupils.
getting bigger and bigger...
At the moment when the two horses crossed each other, He Yuanqing pressed Aji's thin body hard. The two short axes collided hard. Sparks were flying, He Yuanqing shook his hands and twisted, and the two short axes flew into the sky at the same time. He Yuanqing stretched out one hand,
He grabbed Jin Bing's arm that he couldn't retract in time, and forcefully pulled him off the horse. At the same time, He Yuanqing threw Aji's thin body into the air, and it just landed on the back of the unmanned horse. If Aji hadn't hugged the horse's neck in time, he might have
Don't fall down.
He Yuanqing laughed heartily and said to Aji, who was running away gradually: "Boy, if you can turn around, that horse will be yours."
Aji shouted while trying to sit firmly on the bumpy horse, "No problem, just take a look."
He Yuanqing, who had captured his opponent in one round, then made another move that made Jin Bing crazy: he raised the captured Jin Bing's strong body high and smashed it to the ground like a stone. There was a bang.
There was a roar and dust flew up. The golden soldier howled miserably and vomited blood. He was probably not far away from death.
The eyes of the remaining three golden soldiers were red. At that moment, the situation happened too fast. By the time they reacted, it was too late to save him. Enraged, they drove their horses forward in unison and greeted He Yuanqing with their long weapons and short blades.
And what weapon did He Yuanqing have to resist at this time? It was pitiful that he only had an arm shield.
The original owner of the horse that He Yuanqing snatched was an Ali Xi servant soldier. He also knew that he could not have any complete equipment. A short ax and an arm shield were pretty good. There was also a pair of bows and arrows.
But Zhang Li picked it up.
He Yuanqing is currently relying on this arm shield that is no bigger than his face, clumsily resisting the pursuit of three golden soldiers. Fortunately, there is no guy here who can use heavy weapons like maces, otherwise he would have to play
It's all done with nothing - but it's hard to say whether he has Yu Chigong's level.
He Yuanqing was very fierce, but he was not strong enough to deal with three ten-captain-level warriors with bare hands. Horse fighting is not as good as infantry fighting. The most important thing is weapons, especially long weapons, which are very advantageous for both sides.
In a fight, life and death can often be determined by one face-to-face encounter. The competition is about experience, courage, eyesight, accuracy, arm strength and other real things. It is not about fighting or fighting, it is just a single blow, no tricks or false moves.
The scene where two horses are intertwined, spinning around, and generals on horseback catching and killing each other for dozens of rounds only appears in costume dramas and novels. Actual combat is completely different.
So He Yuanqing was running around, keeping distance, and occasionally using his arm shield to block the close attacks of the golden soldiers, but he was unarmed and unable to fight back.
Just then, Ah Xing arrived.
