Chapter 739 Cangzhou Iron Horse(1/2)

The sky was gloomy, and the ground in front was unevenly distributed with patches of gray, which looked like sores on the earth.

Those are wheat stalks burned by farmers.

Between the desolate fields, groups of people were walking forward.

Each one of them has unkempt hair, sallow complexion and thin skin, and they only have a family to support.

From time to time, he would complain: "We are going to fight again. When will it end?"

"Let's go quickly, the golden man will come if you don't!"

"Mom, wait for me."

"..."

Crowds of people trudged along the trail.

"Manager Zhang, the people in this area are migrating."

Zhang Suo frowned and said, "It's still too slow. Let them move faster and move them all to Cangzhou City and nearby fortresses. There is news from Hejian Mansion that the main Jin army has moved south."

"We have deployed defenses at the crossing of the Yellow River. It will not be easy for the Jin people to cross the Yellow River."

"Can you guard all places?" Zhang Suo glanced at Liu Chang.

"But the Jin people are attacking Hejian Mansion and will not come to Cangzhou for a while."

"Don't take it lightly." Zhang Suo said seriously, "Let everyone speed up the pace. This is a time of life and death."

While they were talking, several cavalry scouts came quickly from the front: "Report! Manager Zhang, a large number of Jin troops have been found thirty miles northeast, and they are coming this way!"

"What!" Zhang Suo was shocked, "How many people are here?"

"At least thousands of cavalry!"

"Not good!" Zhang Suo's heart trembled, "Quickly gather all the people and form an array!"

In the vast open fields, the horns of the Song army gathered sounded.

When the people who were taking care of their families heard the sound of the trumpet, their attention was attracted.

"Mom, what happened?" a child asked.

"I don't know either."

"..."

They saw groups of soldiers beginning to gather quickly towards a location.

A cavalryman rushed over quickly and shouted: "The Jin Army is coming, everyone hurry up!"

When the people heard this, they immediately panicked and no one complained anymore.

"Run! The golden thief is coming!"

"Wait for me, I don't want those things anymore, run away first!"

"Mom, wait for me!"

"..."

Panic began to spread around.

Zhang Suo saw this and couldn't care less. He just let these people run away as much as they could.

"Chang Liu, send people to intensively investigate the Jin army's intelligence!" Zhang Suo said, "Report to me at any time!"

"yes!"

The latest news is that the main force of the Jin Army has arrived in Hejian Mansion, which actually caused a lot of discussion in Cangzhou.

Hejian City is only 150 miles away from Cangzhou, so it is not impossible for the Jin army to attack Cangzhou.

Cangzhou's military strength is not as large as that of Hejian Prefecture.

Zhang Suo sighed and said, "I hope it's not the main force of the gold thieves who come!"

He rode his horse and walked forward.

The soldiers began to gather quickly, and the scouts in front of them were running on the ground.

"Report! The Jin army is only ten miles away from us."

"Report! The Jin army is less than ten miles away from us."

"Report! The Jin army is coming to kill us!"

Zhang Suo could vaguely see the outline of the Jin Army cavalry in front of him.

Not long after, the sound of rumbling iron hooves was heard.

The stratus clouds in the sky were very low and very dull.

The infantry formations of the Song Army lined up silently in the open space. There were ten square formations in total, each with about 200 people, forming a solid defense line on the open plain.

Without wind, the military flag cannot be unfurled.

"It's a kidnapping horse!" Liu Chang said with a heavy expression.

And there seemed to be thousands of cavalry.

"The person who came here is evil!" Zhang Suo's heart sank.

There were thousands of cavalry alone. How many main infantry came?

Could it be that another main force of the Golden Army has arrived?

The group of kidnappers and horses were getting closer and closer, and the soldiers of the Song Army showed a look of fear.

The pressure of the torrent of cavalry charging was like a mountain torrent and a tsunami, which made people's hearts sink.

In particular, the ground beneath my feet began to tremble vaguely, giving people the feeling of a mountain falling apart and the ground cracking.

Li Gang still has a good way of training soldiers. Although his personality is a bit old-fashioned, he takes things seriously enough, and it should be said that he is sincere enough.

Although not as solid as Yue Fei's troops, the Song army's military formations along this route were neat and tight.

The kidnappers and horses swarmed in, followed by a rain of arrows from the Jin army.

The dense rain of arrows rushed towards the Song Army's military formation, impacting on the Song Army's shields and armor, making a "dong dong dong" sound.

The atmosphere suddenly became extremely tense.

After the first wave of firing by the Jin Army was completed, the crossbowmen in the Song Army's formation also began to fire back.

Both sides launched arrow attacks at close range.

The purpose of the Jin Army's cavalry and shooting was to put pressure on the Song Army's military formation and consume the Song Army. The Song Army naturally wanted to push back.

After two waves of crossbow arrows were fired, the Song army also stopped firing.

The pressure from the front of Guaizima did not shake the Song army, and they began to attack from both sides separately.

They used bows and arrows, and sent people to rush up and beat them at close range with maces.

The roars of soldiers from both sides could be heard indirectly in the fields.

Several kidnapper horses were shot down by crossbow arrows, but this did not affect the morale of the Jin army.

They quickly rushed back and forth around the Song Army's formation. Although they could not break the formation immediately, they also put a lot of pressure on the Song Army.

Both parties entered the patience stage.

Zhang Suo looked behind him, and it seemed that he could no longer see any people.

Only then did he feel relieved.

Looking around again, he knew that the golden man was preparing to consume it.

The Jin army was indeed attacking in turns. Some cavalrymen rushed up and were intercepted by the Song army. Some horses were even pierced in the belly. The horses fell to the ground whiningly. The cavalry above fell and were immediately hit by the Song army's axes.

Broken helmet.

On the vast land, the corpses of the Song Army and the Jin Army were lying in random directions.

As time passes, the cavalry consumes far less physical energy than the infantry.

Just as the two sides were confronting each other, the messenger sent by Zhang returned to Cangzhou, and the messenger rushed madly to the General Production Department.

"Report! Mr. Li, the Jin Army cavalry is here, just twenty miles away! Nearly three thousand cavalry are here!"

Li Gang was slightly startled and looked heavy.

Three thousand riders?

This is at least the cavalry configuration of an army of 30,000 people!

Could it be that the main force of the Jin army is coming to Cangzhou?

"Li Xianggong, General Manager Zhang asked you not to go to support, maybe the Jin army has already crossed the Yellow River!"

Li Gang took a deep breath and called: "Fu Liang!"

"The end is here!"
To be continued...
