However, Yang Zhi wanted to show his bravery and chased for a while before he saw something in the hands of Shan Tinggui's soldiers and horses in front of the formation, and hurriedly turned his horse to take it back.
When the soldiers under Shan Tinggui saw that Yang Zhi was about to run away, they all took a few steps forward and threw out their hooks.
Yang Zhi tried his best to call, but was still caught by a scratching hook and dragged off the horse. Then everyone swarmed up and tied him back to the formation.
Seeing that Shan Tinggui had made great achievements, Wei Dingguo was unwilling to be left alone. With a wave of his hand, the soldiers and horses behind him made several paths, and the fire soldiers behind the formation pushed out the carts.
It was only then that Chao Yong saw clearly that the car was loaded with reeds and other fire starters.
The train was pushed to the front of the formation, and the fire soldiers lit the train on fire. The fire soldiers behind them also took off the iron gourds on their backs and lit them. The iron gourds suddenly spurted out several feet of flames.
Wei Dingguo gave an order, and the fire soldiers rushed over pushing the train. There were also fire soldiers holding iron gourds in the gaps between the trains.
Chao Yong looked at it and hurriedly shouted: "Their firepower cannot last long. The whole army should maintain their position and retreat. Wait until the fire is gone, then turn around and kill the enemy. Anyone who dares to disrupt the formation will be killed without mercy."
The Liangshan soldiers and horses had already been frightened by Wei Dingguo's fire soldiers. When they heard Chao Yong's order to retreat, they immediately turned around and fled back. However, the strict Liangshan military regulations still allowed them to maintain their position and retreat.
Chao Yong and other leaders did not break away from the formation and flee first, but retreated at the end.
Wei Dingguo couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Liangshan's soldiers and horses retreating in order. The biggest role of his fire soldiers is to break up the opponent's formation and kill the enemy when they are panicked.
The two armies were originally separated by Liyu, but as soon as Wei Dingguo moved his troops, Chao Yong decisively ordered the withdrawal.
Therefore, the Lingzhou soldiers and horses were unable to catch up with the Liangshan soldiers and horses for a while. Wei Dingguo saw that the reeds on the train were almost burned out, but the formation of the Liangshan soldiers and horses was only slightly chaotic, so he did not dare to chase anymore and hurriedly Order the firemen to pile up the train, and the troops and horses to retreat.
When Chao Yong saw Lingzhou's troops retreating, he ordered the entire army to stop retreating and prepare for a counterattack.
However, when Wei Dingguo retreated, he piled the trains in a row. At this time, the trains were not all extinguished. If he pursued them around the trains, the formation would inevitably be disrupted, so Chao Yong could only wait for the trains to extinguish.
Although the reeds burned quickly, by the time the train was extinguished, Lingzhou's soldiers and horses had already formed their formation again, but Wei Dingguo's fire soldiers had become ordinary infantry.
"Brother Yong, there are soldiers and horses coming from the west."
Chao Yong turned around and saw dust rising again in the west. He quickly ordered: "The whole army charges. We must defeat the Lingzhou soldiers and horses when the Daming Mansion officers and soldiers arrive and rescue Yang Zhi."
"Kill"
General Chao Yong gave the order, and the Liangshan soldiers and horses pounced on the Lingzhou soldiers and horses like tigers coming down the mountain.
Shan Tinggui and Wei Dingguo's soldiers and horses are both considered special units. They are proficient in water and fire. Their daily training is also focused on water and fire, and land operations are slightly inferior.
The charging momentum of Liangshan soldiers and horses made Lingzhou soldiers and horses intimidated.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out of Shan Tinggui's troops and horses use water to win. In addition to waist knives, they also have hooks. They can either ambush people or hook some ships on the water and grab them to fight. Wei Dingguo's soldiers and horses even used fire to break the formation, and the soldiers and horses also used waist knives.
The soldiers and horses are not equipped with bows and arrows, so there is no point in defending in place.
The two of them saw Liangshan soldiers and horses roaring towards them, their momentum getting stronger and stronger. They looked at each other and then led the charge.
Within a moment, the two armies collided.
In a face-to-face meeting, the strong and weak were judged. The strictly selected Liangshan army faced the water and fire soldiers who had their claws pulled out. They rushed into the Lingzhou army and horse formation with almost overwhelming force.
Chao Yong, however, stared at the few soldiers behind the formation who were escorting Yang Zhi, and rushed into the Lingzhou army formation at the head of the group.
Several sergeants in black clothes and armor saw Chao Yong rushing into the formation and knocking several of his comrades away, so they threw their hooks together and prepared to drag Chao Yong off his horse.
Chao Yong saw several scratching hooks coming through the air, but instead of dialing them, he grabbed his arms and grabbed the ropes behind the several scratching hooks.
Several sailors saw Chao Yong grabbing the scratching hook, and they hurriedly tried to pull Chao Yong off his horse.
"rise"
Chao Yong shouted loudly, grabbed the rope and swung it hard.
"ah"
"ah"
Several sailors felt a strong force coming from the hook rope, and their bodies rose from the ground and flew more than ten feet in the air before they crashed down.
The soldiers and horses nearby were smashed and fell down. Seeing Chao Yong's courage, Shan Tinggui's soldiers and horses immediately did not dare to use the scratching hook anymore.
He used his waist knife, but before he could rush forward, he was swept away by the iron rod in Chao Yong's hand.
For a moment, wherever Chao Yong¡¯s horse passed by,Instead, the soldiers and horses under Tinggui retreated to both sides like a tide, allowing Chao Yong to break out of the formation faster.
Seeing Chao Yong's unstoppable charge, the few sergeants escorting Yang Zhi behind the formation also knew that Yang Zhi was a hot potato, so they fled away without Yang Zhi.
Chao Yong came to the horse, drew his sword, and cut off the rope on Yang Zhi.
"Thank you, Brother Yong, for saving me."
Yang Zhi said his thanks with a red face, then grabbed a weapon and rushed towards Lingzhou soldiers and horses.
Liangshan¡¯s troops and horses were twice those of Lingzhou¡¯s, and the gap in combat effectiveness was also huge. Except for a few who ran away when the war started, most of them had been cut into pieces and killed.
Shan Tinggui and Wei Dingguo were greeted by Lu Zhishen and Yang Zhi respectively.
Shan Tinggui¡¯s martial arts skills were not as good as Lu Zhishen¡¯s, and he was even more distressed when he saw the saint sailors he had trained so hard being slaughtered by chopping melons and vegetables. This distraction was even more unbearable.
After barely fighting for more than ten rounds, Lu Zhishen was swept off his horse with a Zen stick and was captured by Liangshan soldiers and horses.
Lu Zhishen saw that Hua Rong could not defeat Wei Dingguo for a while. The sound of horse hooves in the west was already loud, and he did not care about the rules of the world, so he went up with a Zen staff.
Wei Dingguo and Hua Rong were fighting fiercely when Lu Zhishen suddenly came up with a Zen staff and hurriedly waved his steel knife to block it. How could he resist Lu Zhishen's divine power and he was immediately swept off his horse.
When Chao Yong saw that Shan Tinggui and Wei Dingguo had been captured, he shouted: "Drive Lingzhou soldiers and horses to the west."
Everyone understood, so they let go of the gap on the west side, and only killed fiercely on the other three sides.
Lingzhou soldiers and horses had been killed and were frightened. When they saw a gap coming out, they fled to the west without hesitation.
The king of heaven, Li Chengyuan, led his army all the way north, preparing to rescue Gaotang Prefecture. However, after receiving Suo Chao's notification, he led his army directly to the east, preparing to intercept the Liangshan bandits. At that time, Suo Chao, who was chasing after him, attacked from both sides and defeated the Liangshan bandits.
But what he didn¡¯t expect was that not only did the Liangshan bandits march faster than him, but Suo Chao, the vanguard, rushed in front of him and was actually defeated by the Liangshan bandits.
Li Cheng gathered some of Suo Chao's defeated troops along the way and pursued them non-stop.
In order not to throw the infantry behind too far, Li Cheng did not dare to move too fast.
Li Cheng originally thought that he would have to chase the Liangshan bandits for a few more miles, but he didn't expect that Tan Ma came to report that the Lingzhou soldiers and horses had already held back the Liangshan bandits.
Li Chengdang immediately ordered the entire army to march urgently, preparing to surround and annihilate the Liangshan bandits with Lingzhou soldiers and horses. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
