No one wants their good marriage to be ruined, but there is really no other way. The Jin soldiers will arrive soon. Shi Quan greets his family to pack valuable things, and changes into his usual clothes. He found a small cart to push Taigong Shi, and Fang Jinshi and the others helped together and packed as many valuable things as possible.
When Shi Quan turned around, he saw that Feng Wan was still wearing the bright red clothes, and even the things in his hands were wrapped in a bright red hijab. Shi Quan said impatiently: "Why don't you go change clothes? Come on, go on. , will leave immediately."
Feng Wan said stubbornly: "I am getting married today. Even if the sky falls, I will still get married and will not change."
Shi Quan said: "Okay, okay, we'll hold a banquet again when we get to Bianliang City. You won't be afraid of people laughing along the way."
Feng Wan refused to listen to him and got on a donkey cart next to her, saying, "Let others laugh. If we hold a banquet ten times, it won't be the same as today."
Although Shi Quan had different ideas from hers, he had no choice but to let her go. People like Shi Quan's family would naturally not run away to the mountains like ordinary poor people. They hurriedly drove their carriages and horses to Xing. Coming from Qingguan, there were many people fleeing along the way. When they saw Feng Wan wearing a wedding dress, some people couldn't help but point fingers, but she didn't feel dissatisfied.
There was a long queue in front of Xingqing Pass waiting to enter. Feng Bao asked anxiously: "Why can't we enter Xingqing Pass?"
This Xingqing Pass is located on the main road, with a wide gate. It has never been crowded. Today, when I was running for my life, I couldn't move a few steps for a long time. When I stepped forward and asked, it turned out that the Jin soldiers were invading the pass. To prevent the Jin soldiers, they carried weapons and pretended to be common people entering the pass , and began to search luggage and vehicles one by one, which was naturally much slower.
They could only wait slowly and step by step towards the city gate. After waiting for a long time, Huang Jinmian, who was in the best health, became a little uncomfortable. Fang Jinshi could only find some water for her. There was nothing he could do in a hurry, and finally slowly walked towards In front, there were only twenty or thirty steps away from the city gate.
Suddenly someone started making noises from behind. Fang Jinshi turned around and saw that the people who had been lining up to enter the city were in chaos. Someone shouted: "The golden dog is coming, the golden dog is coming."
The chaotic sound of horse hooves could be heard in the distance, and countless golden soldiers' flags seemed to emerge from the ground. The people were panicked and rushed to the gate like a tide. Someone shouted after closing the gate: "The army is leaving the city, get out of the way." "A large number of Song troops ran out of the city and lined up. These troops were brightly dressed and formed a square formation when they left the city gate. They looked like wolves and tigers, and they were majestic. There was a big flag in the middle with "Yao" written on it. Character.
A commoner next to Fang Jinshi said: "General Yao is sending troops. Now, do you think Golden Dog is still arrogant?"
Fang Jinshi asked hurriedly: "Who is this General Yao?"
This person said: "You don't even know General Yao. If you watch General Yao kill the golden dog, you will know the general's reputation."
Fang Jinshi and the others followed the people into the city and ran to the gate to watch the two armies fighting.
The Jin soldiers defeated the alliance and attacked the Song Dynasty. They had a smooth journey along the way. As time went by, the cavalry became emboldened in vain. The people who came to attack Xingqing Pass this time were all cavalry. These cavalry caught up with the common people and chopped them down, but they failed. The soldiers in the formation just lowered their heads and charged forward. General Yao's flag was unfurled, and the Song soldiers formed a formation. In front of the formation, the horses and forks were spread out, and the spears were arrayed. The formation squares behind them were filled with single-bow archers with horns, front and back. There were more than two hundred rows of Song soldiers at the back, spread out in a fan shape in front of the city. Ox-horn bows are complicated to make and require high craftsmanship, but the front row of these Song soldiers were all horn bows. It was really heroic. These two hundred rows of Song soldiers were Behind, there are more than a dozen rows of crossbowmen. These crossbows are larger than ordinary crossbows, and the bow strings are thicker. You need to use your feet to pull the bow strings apart. This is the divine arm bow that the Song Army is proud of. It even has There is a slightly exaggerated name called Shenju Bedzi Liancheng Nu.
Of course, this is not a bed crossbow. It is far from the small bed crossbow made by Song Qian himself. After all, it is still an individual crossbow, but this crossbow is powerful and can shoot three hundred steps.
The Jin soldiers shouted, straddling their horses, waving their long knives and axes, and rushed forward. General Yao ordered the flag to be raised, and the flag soldiers in the Song army's formation shouted: "Fire arrows." The arrows were like raindrops in the strong wind. Generally, it was sprinkled on the charging Jin soldiers and cavalry. Most of these cavalry were lightly armored and did not even have shields. In the rain of arrows, all the men and horses in front were shot into hedgehogs. For a moment, the horses screamed. The screams of the Jin soldiers came one after another. The Jin soldiers were brave and rushed forward for several waves. The front row of the Song army fired horn arrows once, followed by the divine arm bows and fired again. Wave after wave, compact and orderly in the middle. At first glance, Their well-trained training is incomparable to the undisciplined Forbidden Army in Bianliang City.
After several charges, the Jin soldiers were finally able to break through the Song soldiers' arrow array, but a large number of dead horses and people fell in front of the array. These Jin soldiers were too careless and charged randomly for a while. They suffered heavy losses and immediately stopped charging. , toTo retreat, General Yao waved his flag, and a general led his troops to rush out from the left wing of the arrow formation and pounced bravely on the retreating Jin soldiers. This man was holding a heavy mace and had a red beard. It looks very mighty.
Fang Jinshi saw it from a distance and couldn't help but admired: "This man is so brave, he must be a barbarian."
A person next to him picked up what he said: "He is not a barbarian, his name is Zhe Kecun."
Fang Jinshi looked up and saw that the person speaking was actually Gao Chong. He didn't know when he squeezed over and stood beside him. Fang Jinshi looked at his answer and asked, "Do you know him?"
Gao Chong said: "He visited Prince Xu's Mansion a few days ago, and I competed with him in strength."
Fang Jinshi naturally wanted to ask: "Who won and who lost?"
Gao Chong said: "I didn't lose to him." His character would not say that he had won, but he said that he had not lost. Gao Chong was afraid that Fang Jinshi would ask again, so he added: "The Zhe family has guarded the border for the imperial court for a long time. Yes, a weapon used by foreign countries like a mace can be easily folded and stored."
Fang Jinshi looked at the front of the formation again and said, "Who is that General Yao?"
Gao Chong said: "It should be Yao Pingzhong, the general of the Western Frontier. I'm not too sure." Fang Jinshi rarely listened to so many words from him, but Gao Chong usually liked Cuju and fighting. .
Fang Jinshi praised him and said, "You have met many famous people while staying in Prince Xu's Mansion."
Gao Chong smiled sheepishly, and Fang Jinshi asked again: "Tell me, why does General Yao arrange the crossbows in the back and the bows in the front?"
Gao Chong said: "The formation of the arrow array has always been arranged like this. Is there anything wrong?"
Fang Jinshi said: "There is nothing wrong. Please tell me the reason behind this."
Gao Chong said: "The divine arm crossbow can shoot far, is powerful, and can penetrate thin armor, but the winding speed is a bit slow. If placed in the back row, it can be mixed with the horn bow and arrow to form an arrow formation, which will make the front row team rush." If it¡¯s a mess, you can still shoot for a while in the back row.¡±
Fang Jinshi said: "If you are in the back row, then its shooting distance will be offset a lot by its strong force." He looked down and said to Gao Chong: "If the arrow array is changed over, the divine arm bow and arrow will be released What would it be like to be in the front row?¡±
Gao Chong said: "The divine arm crossbow needs to be pedaled to be cocked. If the enemy soldiers attack and they all happen to lower their heads while they are being cocked, the formation will immediately become chaotic."
Fang Jinshi smiled and said, "How can it be such a coincidence?"
Gao Chong said solemnly: "It is really such a coincidence, and there are quite a few. The year before last in the Xixia campaign, the northwest general Li Ran changed the order. The result was a huge defeat. The court blamed it. General Li Ran almost lost his life. The whole army announced that, It has become a laughing stock.¡±
Fang Jinshi lowered his head and thought for a moment, and remained silent for a while. At this moment, the Song soldiers had won a moderate victory in front of Xingqing Pass. The people of the Song Dynasty were all smiling. Since Fang Jinshi was not a general, Without thinking any more, Xiaoxiao and Gao Chong came down from the top of the city and headed towards Bianliang together.
