"Sergeant, there seems to be something wrong with Ozawa Woodland."
"The people of Xue are in a hurry. There are no birds and no worries."
The views of the Shangqiu "Hu Ben" officers who supported Xue State were not incorrect. Furthermore, since the Fu people dared to attack Xue State, they obviously also dared to lay an ambush.
It's just that the Xue people passed through first, so there is no problem. If there is an ambush, there is no reason not to eat the Xue State troops first. In the opinion of the sergeant of "Hu Ben" in Shangqiu, if the Fu people really captured the capital of the Xue State, the defense
This is Fu Ren's specialty.
They don't have many troops, but they can fight better in defensive battles. Even if they have quite good field combat capabilities, as long as they fight in the field, they will inevitably lose casualties. There is no reason to do such a thankless thing.
What's more, there are scattered swamps nearby, and although the woods are not dense, we can roughly estimate how many soldiers and horses we need to hide.
"Report! Sergeant! Xuecheng was captured by the Fu people. Now, Jiangyinzi's "Yidan Camp" is stationed on the city."
"'Yidanying'? Hahahaha, God help me!"
Originally, I wanted to send a few knights to search the forest area. The soldiers on horseback looked around for a while and saw no men and horses hiding, so I decided to end the matter hastily.
Now it is reported that the people stationed above Xuecheng are actually just some kind of "Yi Dan Camp". How can we not make Shangqiu's "Hu Ben" overjoyed?
This time the Song Allied Forces fought against Biyang again, but it can be said that they gained nothing at all. As the army retreated, all the strongholds east of Surabaya were controlled by the Biyang Allied Forces.
The princes of various countries who participated in the "aid to Fu to fight the Song Dynasty" have already received the first wave of dividends, and the distribution of the spoils alone is quite impressive.
Because Jiang Yinzi, the fierce man of Wu State, was not interested in the equipment of Song State, in addition to normal distribution, he also sold it to many princes of various countries at a discount.
For many small countries in the Yangtze River and Huaihe River, the first round is about making money. You must know that most of the soldiers of small countries are not even qualified to be selected into the crossbow formation. Their main task is to dig ditches and pile up soil.
On the entire "Second Ring Road" construction site of Biyang Kingdom, if you want to gain military exploits, you can only kill the "dog agents".
Although all countries do not understand what "dog agent" means, this does not prevent them from remembering this strange term.
"Shou Li, it seems that the Song people want to speed up their march?"
"It should be the previous cavalry who passed the news back. Who is occupying Xuecheng now? This Song army should know."
"Do you need to prepare?"
"Let the trumpeter be on standby! Wait for the Song people to pass by and intercept them!"
In the low bushes, there are twigs and cattails everywhere, but these twigs and cattails occasionally move. Only when you get closer and take a closer look, you will find that they are all people prostrate on the ground.
Taking out his telescope and looking at it, Li Jie added: "There are a lot of Song chariots. Send an order to Sha Hen to prepare. After launching the assault, he will attack the chariots!"
"yes!"
If Shaha were here, Li Jie would be more calm. Although the "two generals Hengha" are both fierce, their characteristics are very obvious. Shaha is better at close combat, while Shaha has stronger impact.
The officers of the Song Army began to urge the troops to speed up the march. The Shangqiu "Hu Ben" originally wanted to take a break to eat something, but at this time the queue naturally became chaotic.
There is no doubt that the "Shangqiu" Tiger Ben was completely unprepared for the Ozawa Woodland that was right in front of him.
To the east of Surabaya and to the north of Weishan, there are scattered small swamps and many ponds, and natural depressions abound south of Weishan. This is quite good and high-quality farmland, but due to the years of war,
There are not many years when turmoil is truly exploited.
Because of Wei Zi's experience, the people of the Song Dynasty adopted a free-range policy towards Weishan. When Song and Lu were at odds with each other, Weishan would usually be plundered twice. Once by the Lu people, and once by the Song people themselves.
Over time, there were many savages escaping from reality around Weishan. Different from "Shaye", the savages here were much higher-end. They might even have scriptures hidden in their homes, and they were the kind who could be born and become famous at any time.
The consequence of extensive management is naturally a general understanding of the topography, down to the distribution of ditches, streams, mounds, and swamps. Unless they are top elites, under normal circumstances, no official will specifically understand it.
At this moment, if the sergeant of the Song Army had only been a little more serious, and the mounted scouts had been a little further forward, and a little more careful, they might have discovered the crocodile man, the brave man, hiding here, crawling on the ground.
Once these enemy troops wearing willow branches and carrying thatch on their backs are discovered, it will be difficult to launch a surprise attack. After disappearing suddenly, even if the ambush is successful, it will be greatly reduced.
"call……"
Li Jie let out a breath, not because he was nervous, but because he was calculating the distance.
Normally speaking, for crossbowmen and other elites from various countries, the distance that the infantry can maintain their physical strength after launching a charge is about seventy steps.
If you take advantage of the terrain, such as being on a high ground, such as rugged woodland, then depending on their respective characteristics, it may be around a hundred paces.
The crocodile man's charge range is very long, the light armor can launch a charge at a hundred paces, and the formation is quite strict. The enemy troops of average quality cannot form a team in such a short time, so panic is normal.
In today's army, no one can tell the difference between right and left.
Li Jie was waiting for the Song chariot to pass a little further, which gave the chariot no time to turn around.
"Shou Li, the short spear is ready."
"Where's the shield bearer?"
"Wait for your fate."
"Um."
Li Jie nodded. The Song Army's team was very long. After all, it was impossible to march in formation during the march. It was more like a "long snake formation"... In short, it was very long.
The longer the team, the more time it takes to complete the team formation.
The real threat to Li Jie was the dozens of tanks.
"Is the mission of each team clear?"
"yes!"
"Brumpeter, get ready!"
"yes!"
The Song army's team was very long, and the crocodiles and brave men were not in a group, but were scattered in different bushes and reeds. There were not many means of communication, and most of them were gestures.
There are many gesture combination commands, but there are very few crocodiles who can remember them all. Therefore, those who have mastered the gesture commands are scattered in various brigades. In addition to combat missions, they also have to serve as communication soldiers in special times.
In fact, when Li Jie was the foreman, he would do this without a walkie-talkie. With a few gestures in the air, the two foremen completed the communication.
After all, Crocodile Man and Yongfu have only one professional skill, and their main business is murder and arson, so the information they need to use is actually very refined.
As the Song army's chariots accelerated forward, the Shangqiu "Hu Ben" team stretched longer, and the front and rear were sparse and not connected to each other. Li Jie estimated that the length of the entire team was more than two kilometers.
It's just that the line of sight is limited after all, so visual inspection is a bit inaccurate, and the actual length may be longer. But this is a better situation for Li Jie.
The longer the line, the slower the assembly.
"about there."
Putting away the telescope, he originally thought that the chariot could just go a little further, but he never expected that the Song State's chariot ran all the way, broke away from the large army, and went directly to Xuecheng.
"Blow the trumpet!"
As soon as the order was given, the left and right sides immediately started to clear up the situation. The first bugler stood up suddenly, took a breath, and blew the charge horn directly.
When the first trumpet sounded, several bushes and reeds also sounded the trumpet sound at the same time.
The rapid and harsh sound of the trumpet spread very far. This kind of sound was quite unfamiliar to the people of Song Dynasty, and they had never heard it before.
Shangqiu "Hu Ben" just looked around for the sound, and suddenly hundreds of people stood up in the grass a few hundred steps away.
"Savage?"
“The barbarians of Xue State, are you celebrating the ‘Hu Ben’ of Shangqiu?”
The sergeant in the Song Army looked from a distance. At this moment, he was standing on a chariot and could clearly see a large number of "fancy-dressed" savages emerging from the reeds in the grove.
A little surprised, but not scared yet, but when the savage suddenly burst out with an astonishing roar, the Song Army sergeant's eyes widened: "Jiangyin Crocodile Man——"
What shocked the sergeant of the Song Army even more was that these crocodiles launched a charge a hundred steps away, and the formation was not loose. It was obvious that officers from various departments were leading the charge, and strange accents could be heard from time to time.
It sounded like the officer was reminding some of his soldiers to pay attention.
"kill--"
The terrain here is slightly sloping because of the mountains. From the Song Army's point of view, the Crocodiles live on high ground. Although there is no high ground, there is a slight gentle slope, which is of great help to the charge.
"Big Wu Macho Man is here——"
With a roar like thunder, the Song Army sergeant trembled and almost fell off the carriage. After quickly grabbing the armrest, he shouted loudly: "Formation! Formation! Formation -"
However, the Shangqiu "Tiger Ben" was still distracted before, and the entire army was not connected with each other. How could it be possible to assemble quickly with such a long team?
Only the personal guards of the Song Army sergeant quickly formed several queues around the chariot.
But in a hurry, his concentration was obviously not enough. In the rush, several groups of crocodile men had already rushed thirty steps away!
Leather armor lined with iron sheets, this is the armor used to launch raids on the crocodile people. If the Song army were heavy infantry, they might also have trouble, but Li Jie had already asked people to conduct continuous reconnaissance. This escort of Xue Guo's troops
The Shangqiu "Tiger Ben" is also lightly armored or even without armor.
There is no doubt that the requirements for the escort troops are not high, and it is impossible for them to attack the fortress.
Zi Lufei suffered a big loss in the attack. He didn't understand his own affairs, so how could he risk his life for his younger brother?
"Spearman——"
"Get ready to throw—"
"The trumpeter blows the trumpet——"
Sha Hen has separated from Li Jie, and the entire infantry line has become a fan, but this fan is in reverse.
Beep beep beep beep——
The rapid sound of the trumpet sounded again, not to mention on the battlefield, but even as far away as Xuecheng, the sound of the trumpet could be heard here.
The cry of killing ensued, and the temporary array organized by the Song Army sergeant obviously did not have such a great deterrent effect.
"Throwing spear——"
The captains of each team led the way, throwing short spears at fifty steps, thirty steps, and twenty steps. This short spear was originally a fishing tool, and was occasionally used by "Baisha" savages to hunt deer, sheep, and pigs.
, Jiao's equipment. It can be said that any adult man born in "Baisha" must master some skills.
The only difference is the accuracy.
After Li Jie opened a military factory in Jiangyin City, the short spears were constantly improved, but they were only used for a limited time. They were not used in the last Biyang War, because in winter, they were basically useless against soldiers wearing clothes.
Effective unless it directly hits the head and neck area.
But things are completely different now. To deal with the lightly armored and unarmored Song Army, and with such a scattered team, is purely a unique hunting experience.
However, the Crocodile Man used to hunt crocodiles, but now he hunts living humans.
"shoot--"
Huh! Huh! Huh!
The rapid sound of breaking through the air, and the unarmored damage of the short spear is extremely high. Even a wild boar with rough skin and thick flesh will slow down its movements due to muscle damage after being hit two or three times, and will not be able to explode at all.
The defensive power of light armored infantry is completely incomparable to that of wild boars, not to mention the explosive power during survival, which is also not on the same level.
"Shieldhand——"
The Song army also had archers, but because the formation was scattered, the archers had no time to react. It was difficult to hit a moving target, not to mention that the crocodile men moved extremely quickly, and they charged with murderous intent.
Holding a shield in one hand and a sword in the other, Li Jie took the lead. Although he was breathing heavily, his powerful explosive power, coupled with the Song army's scattered formation due to fear, made him more powerful.
This is the normal confidence of the strong in the weak!
"Who dares to fight to the death with me——"
After the last wave of short spears was thrown, Li Jie charged into the formation with his shield. If the spearmen of the Song army completed the formation, he would be seeking death. However, the formation of the Song army was sparse. When they lined up hastily, the soldiers organized by the officers were not their own.
Subordinates.
They all stood together in confusion, and their orders were completely inaccurate.
If a square formation is formed, it doesn't matter if it's a little messy. The spears are like a forest, coming and going like a forest. The densely packed spears can always stab ten or twenty Li Jie to death.
Unfortunately, there were only three sparse horizontal lines in front of Li Jie.
Bang——
The characteristics of the crocodile shield hand have always been clear, strong and muscular, and extremely explosive!
It may be a bit inferior when it comes to endurance, but amazing bursts are used at this time.
"kill--"
laugh!
The sword, a specialty of Jiangyin City, originally had little use. In most cases, long spears and short guns were the best weapons and equipment.
It's just that now is a special time and a special battlefield.
In scattered small-scale battles, the flexibility of the sword was immediately brought into play.
What's more, an ambush is a surprise. After shocking the enemy, as soon as the momentum increases, the bonuses of weapons and equipment will be reduced to the lowest level.
Cut it out with one knife, and take him away with the spear!
Tsk! Tsk! Tsk——
With the crisp and sharp sound of slashing and stabbing, any Shangqiu "Hu Ben" knew clearly what kind of arrogant magic weapon these crocodile men were holding in their hands!
"Guarding the Central Army——"
The Song Army sergeant frantically summoned the surrounding troops, but looking left and right, he saw that the troops were actually divided.
From the front, the extremely tall Wu hunk Jiang Yinzi Li Jie with an extremely ferocious expression is right in front of him!
"Archer——"
The archers accompanying the Song Army sergeant on the carriage were naturally the top archers in the Song Kingdom.
However, one arrow shot out and killed a Song Army "Hu Ben".
How difficult it is to hit a target in a place where canine teeth are intertwined and chaotic!
Bang!
The entire battlefield fell silent. The huge collision was actually caused by the crocodile-man shieldmen lining up in a row and launching a fierce attack.
There seemed to be dead silence for half a second, but as soon as the time was up, the crocodile spearman who had followed immediately thrust out the spear in his hand.
laugh!
Compared to the Song Army, the Crocodile Spearmen were obviously more professional.
Before the Shangqiu "Tiger Ben" could scream in agony after his eyeball was pierced, another wave of spear stabbed him, and a bloody hole instantly appeared on his neck.
In an instant, half of the Song army on the three horizontal lines fell.
This horrific killing made the sergeant of the Song Army turn pale. He knew that he had encountered a strong field force, but he did not know that it was so strong.
The gap is huge, worlds apart.
"If you are willing to surrender, I will spare your life!"
The bloody sword was still dripping flesh and blood, and Li Jie's sinister smile made the Song Army sergeant tremble even more.
"Yu, Yushou! Withdraw..."
He glanced out of the corner of his eye, then turned back sharply, only to find that the driver had already run away.
In such a chaotic scene, it seems that it is easy to ride a horse and run away, but the eyes of the horses are not covered, and even if the driver urges the horses, they cannot charge. The Song army is surrounded by chaotic troops.
The experienced driver saw that the situation was not good and ran away. Whether there was any weight on him, he ran very fast and reached a distance in a short time.
The sergeant of the Song Army gritted his teeth, picked up a hard bow, and fired an arrow, but unfortunately he missed the target.
"If you don't want to surrender, then you will die!"
Li Jie shouted loudly and killed the nearest Shangqiu "Hu Ben" with a single blow. The crocodile men on the left and right followed him. The enemy was only from the front or behind.
Naturally, there were no enemies in the rear. Li Jie's eyes were firm and he stared at the Song Army sergeant on the carriage.
The top commander of this Song army should be this guy.
The old rule is, to capture the thief first capture the king.
"kill--"
The shouts of killing shocked the entire audience. The Shangqiu "Tiger Ben" in front and on the left and right were all extremely frightened. It was as if they were frightened away by the terrifying roar. Fear spread immediately like an infectious disease.
A large army of several thousand people stretched for three or four miles, but fear was like an electric current in a wire. There was no need to inform at all and the response was instantaneous.
"Wish to surrender——"
With a loud roar, the sergeant of the Song Army on the carriage suddenly shouted, and then suddenly knelt down on the carriage, "Sergeant Song Ji of the Song Dynasty, I would like to surrender the mighty man of Wu——"
As soon as these words came out, the Shangqiu "Tiger Ben" on the left and right knelt down directly, and the killing continued for a while. However, the Crocodile Man was quite professional. The two closest team captains jumped up and directly captured the Song Army Sergeant Song Ji.
Then a man swung his sword and cut off the flagpole of the Shangqiu "Hu Ben" military flag.
The big banner fell down, which was obviously a situation in the Chinese army. For a moment, Song Ji, who was kneeling on the carriage with his helmet taken off and disheveled hair, let Li Jie urge the carriage to parade in great dejection.
A few miles can be said to be long or short, and wherever the carriage passes by, the people of Song Dynasty will all kneel down.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
County Magistrate Li laughed wildly, "Brothers! The Song army has been destroyed. In front is Xuecheng, and below the city is Xuehou! Whoever captures Xuehou first will be heavily rewarded——"
