Looking at the old man with his head cut off on the ground, Ximen Qing shook his head and said, "I promised Lin Chong that I would take this old man back for revenge. But you are quick and kill him directly!"
Wu Song chuckled, then took off his shirt, then wrapped the old man's head, shook it towards Ximen Qing, and said with a smile: "Just take this head back. I helped Old Lin kill this person, and Old Lin has to thank me." As for me, if you don¡¯t invite me to drink, I don¡¯t want to!¡±
Ximen Qing rolled his eyes at Wu Song, and then said: "Let's go back to camp!"
Wu Song nodded, and he and Ximen Qing casually rode back to the military camp on their fast horses.
Back to the military camp, Ximen Qing asked Wu Song to send the head to Lin Chong, while he returned to the Chinese military camp and recruited Xu Ning, Zhang Qing, and Li Kui.
Seeing that Ximen Qing had returned safely, Xu Ning and the other three were relieved and asked about what happened. Ximen Qing said briefly, but the process made the three of them fearful. Among them, Li Kui greatly regretted not following him.
Xu Ning asked: "Commander, you said that Su Yuanjing will fight us face to face. No matter we win or lose, we will withdraw. Is this credible? Su Yuanjing is a cunning person. I heard about this person when I was in Tokyo. Zhimo, we have to be careful and not be careless!"
Zhang Qing also said: "I also think that Su Yuanjing is playing tricks on us again. As a prince in front of the palace, how can he retreat? If he retreats, Zhao Yunluo will not punish him for his serious dereliction of duty, and he will inevitably be imprisoned by then. Therefore, Su Yuanjing cannot withdraw his troops easily. There must be some conspiracy!"
Li Kui shouted: "Damn it, old man, grandpa go kill him now!"
Ximen Qing waved his hand and said with a smile: "Tieniu, don't get excited, sit down." After saying that, Ximen Qing looked at Xu Ning and Zhang Qing, and said: "Although I don't have much communication with Su Yuanjing, We still have a pretty good idea of ??his character. He can stand alone as an upright official in a chaotic court, and there is no need to doubt his integrity. Of course, even if he has a conspiracy, if we act cautiously, are we still afraid of him? He might as well withdraw his troops. , it doesn¡¯t matter if we don¡¯t retreat, we will do our best to wipe out the Song army in the battle tomorrow. After defeating the Song army, Su Yuanjing has to withdraw his troops back to the city even if he doesn¡¯t want to withdraw, right?"
Xu Ning nodded and said: "That's right. It's just that I'm afraid that Su Yuanjing has some conspiracy, just waiting for us to fall into the trap! Look at the Lin Chong brothers, they were tricked by Su Yuanjing."
Zhang Qing also said: "That's right, we have to be careful!"
Ximen Qing smiled and said: "I took a good look at the terrain before coming here. The road we took to reach the enemy camp is a flat official road, surrounded by plains. It is not easy for Su Yuanjing to ambush, so he can only face it head-on. Confrontation. Similarly, if we want to use tricks, it will be difficult!"
Xu Ning said: "Then can we build a plank road to cross Chencang secretly? I will lead a team of people to go around behind the enemy and draw fuel from the bottom of the cauldron?"
Ximen Qing shook his head and said: "Impossible! There are plains all around, and the target is easy to be discovered. Moreover, if you want to go around to the enemy's rear, the distance is too long. If you are discovered, you will be isolated, and even more so. The danger. Therefore, this risky plan must not work."
"That's right" Xu Ning nodded.
Zhang Qingdao: "Can we lure the snake out of its hole? I will send troops first to lure the enemy to pursue them. Are you waiting for the opportunity to send troops?"
Ximen Qing said: "This won't work either. Su Yuanjing is so smart, how could he not see this plan?"
Zhang Qing scratched his head and said: "It seems that we can only send troops directly."
Ximen Qing smiled and said: "That's right, face to face battle, real fighting, no plots, no conspiracy. This is the time to test the soldiers' combat effectiveness!"
Li Kui laughed, rolled his arms, and said with a smile: "That would be so refreshing. It looks like how Xiongying killed the enemy and fled! Hum!"
Ximen Qing was stunned for a moment, then laughed.
The next morning, Ximen Qing ordered all the soldiers to cook. After eating, Ximen Qing left 10,000 Leopard Battalion soldiers to guard the military camp and protect the injured Lin Chong. Then he led other Leopard Battalion disciples, as well as Xu Ning, Zhang Qing, Wu Song, Li Kui and other battalion soldiers to move towards the enemy in a mighty manner. Go ahead.
At the same time, Su Yuanjing also commanded a hundred thousand troops to fight.
Soon, the two armies met.
I saw that the Song army's camp was extremely orderly, with both sides forming a formation, using strong bows and crossbows to shoot at their feet. In the two formations, colorful tunes and drums were beating, and colorful embroidered flags were waving. Su Yuanjing was dressed in military uniform, but saw:
Wear the phoenix-winged helmet firmly, and wear the fish-scale armor heavily. The brocade red robe is woven with flower branches, and the lion man and Qiong Yao are closely weaved. The pure steel gun is stiff and the horse with green mane neighs frequently. Although he is an old man, he is still quite powerful in his military uniform.
And beside him, there were four or five people standing.The generals all wore armor and carried mighty weapons. They were all arrogant and domineering. You could tell at a glance that they were masters of the Forbidden Army. But it is a pity that these Forbidden Army generals are all arrogant and only know how to practice martial arts every day. They have not experienced the baptism of iron-blooded wars like Zhang Qing, Xu Ning, and Wu Song, so they lack an iron-blooded spirit.
As soon as the two armies stopped, a tall man with beards beside Su Yuanjing rode out. This man was Wang Shizhen, the captain of the Forbidden Army. He was highly skilled in martial arts and had a fiery personality.
He rode his horse out and pointed at the iron rod, but Ximen Qing yelled at him: "Ximen, my son, you didn't go to the border to conquer the Liao Dynasty, but you come here to rebel. It's really treasonous. Just because the court trusts you! Why don't you kneel down and kowtow to beg for mercy? Otherwise, , I will chop up your army to show you how powerful I am!"
Ximen Qing frowned and was about to speak. Li Kui could no longer hold himself back and cursed:
"You are a helper of abuse. You dare to scold my commander. You really don't know whether to live or die. Your grandpa will spare you today! Take my axe!"
After saying that, he raised his ax and mounted his horse to grab Wang Shizhen. The two generals rushed to the center, the two armies shouted, the two cavalry crossed each other, four arms were criss-crossed, eight horses' hooves stirred up chaos, the fight lasted for more than fifty years, and there was no winner or loser. Ximen Qing secretly cheered.
Seeing that Wang Shizhen could not win, Sun Zhujing, who was beside Su Yuanjing, clap his horse and fly his sword to help in the battle, intending to help Wang Shizhen deal with Li Kui. Seeing Sun Zhujing's actions, Zhang Qing snorted coldly and then rode up to catch him.
At one time, four pairs of horses were fighting in front of the formation.
Zhang Qing and Sun Zhujing fought for more than twenty years. Zhang Qing pretended to be weak, patted his horse and left. Sun Zhujing rushed over on horseback. Zhang Qing took the flower gun and took a stone from the brocade bag. He suddenly twisted his body, looked at Sun Zhujing's face, and knocked the stone away with one click, shouting: "Here! "
With a whooshing sound, the stone hit Sun Zhujing in the hollow of the nose in the light of the calcium carbide fire. He turned over and fell from his horse, blood spurting out.
Seeing Sun Zhujing fall from his horse, Wang Shizhen was shocked. He immediately held out an iron rod and planned to greet Sun Zhujing. But he was careless and gave Li Kui a chance. Li Kui laughed, and then the ax rose and fell, just heading towards Wang Shizhen's head.
Wang Shizhen was shocked and quickly leaned back to dodge.
Li Kui¡¯s giant ax fell and directly chopped off the head of Wang Shizhen¡¯s horse. Wang Shizhen was so frightened that he fell to the ground.
Wang Shizhen was so frightened that he didn't dare to think too much and hurriedly returned to Su Yuanjing. Sun Zhujing, who was on the side, was rescued by another general and escaped back to the camp.
Li Kui laughed loudly, brandished his giant axe, and shouted: "Damn you, what a bullshit general, you can't even catch Grandpa's axe, so you can only run away!"
With that said, Li Kui pointed at Su Yuanjing and shouted: "That Su Yuanjing, I heard that you are the commander, come and practice with me!"
Su Yuanjing smiled and said nothing, just stroking his beard.
Ximen Qing rolled his eyes, then glared at Li Kui and shouted: "Tieniu, get back!"
Li Kui scratched his head and then retreated to the camp unwillingly.
Ximen Qingce immediately stepped forward, cupped his hands towards Su Yuanjing, and said with a smile: "Su Taiwei, although your soldiers are all elites of the Forbidden Army, they are still no match for our Liangshan army. I still advise you to go back to Tokyo early." !¡±
Su Yuanjing smiled and said, "Really? Then let me see it!"
Immediately, Su Yuanjing nodded to the guard beside him, and saw the guard waving the colorful flag, and then the army let out a roar, and then the two wings moved out, like a roc spreading its wings, and began to attack the Liangshan army.
Ximen Qing laughed, and then asked Xu Ning to give the order for the army to attack.
The two armies rushed towards each other like crazy bison, boom, boom, boom, the ground seemed to be shaking.
When the two armies approached, the soldiers in the front battalion collided directly. Suddenly, the two armies fell into a fight.
For a time, the entire land was filled with shouts and crowds of people fighting. There was blood all over the ground, with broken limbs and arms, and it was extremely scary.
Ximen Qing was on horseback, and he killed four or five Song troops with a single blow of his halberd, leaving the Song troops with no room for resistance. They were all too afraid to fight Ximen Qing. As a result, there was a blank space three meters away from Ximen Qing. .
Looking at the others, Li Kui went to Wang Shizhen, and Xu Ning, Zhang Qing, and Wu Song went to the other generals. They were all full of fighting spirit and beat those generals back steadily, and they would soon be defeated.
As the fighting progressed, Liangshan's army became more and more fierce and brave. They were like blood-drinking beasts, becoming more and more crazy, warlike and bloodthirsty. On the other hand, the Song army is in a situation of retreat. It is estimated that if they fight for a while, they will have to flee.
Su Yuanjing stood on a high slope, looking at the battlefield, stroking his beard, and sighed: "Liangshan army,He is really brave and unparalleled in the Song Dynasty! No wonder the Liao army was unable to resist! It is a blessing for our Song Dynasty to have such an army! "
The guard beside him frowned and said in confusion: "Sir, although the Liangshan army is ferocious, it is still a bandit army. From the looks of it, it should not surrender to the imperial court and can only be destroyed!"
Su Yuanjing chuckled, and then said: "Ming Jin, please withdraw your troops. We are not opponents. If we continue to fight, our defeat will only become more miserable."
The guard nodded and then rode down.
After a while, Song Jun¡¯s rear recalled the sound of Ming Jin.
Hearing the sound of Ming Jin withdrawing his troops, the Song troops were overjoyed and immediately retreated and fled. The Liangshan army continued to bite, chasing and killing. In this way, after chasing for more than ten miles and killing thousands of Song soldiers, Ximen Qing stopped the pursuit. Immediately ordered the battlefield to be cleaned, the wounded to be treated, and the prisoners to be imprisoned.
Half an hour later, Ximen Qing led the army back to the military camp.
