Chapter 720 Compensation

The sound of the horn became more and more urgent, which meant that the enemy's distance was approaching from ten miles to five miles.

The Jin army went south this time, focusing on plundering supplies, so they did not attack fortified cities or fight tough battles. All the ministries moved along the main roads, and from time to time sent out small groups of troops to sweep through various warehouses and small villages where the Song people transferred supplies, money and food.Even so, the Song army stationed in Shouchun, Luzhou and other places did not dare to go out to stop them.

Monk Wanyan Chen reckoned that those who dared to act so quickly in front of the enemy must be the elite.

I heard before that because of the political turmoil in the Southern Dynasties, Xu Jun, the commander of the capital of Jiankang, recently led troops to Wuwei Army.The Imperial Army stationed in the Jiankang Mansion was the main force of the Imperial Army in the Southern Dynasty, and Xu Jun was a famous Southern Dynasty warrior who was also well-known in the North.During the reign of Taihe, the Nine Routes of the Guo Dynasty attacked the Song Dynasty, and He Shilie Hu Shahu of the East Road besieged Chuzhou with an army of [-]. It was Xu Jun who led the elite troops to attack Huaiyin at night, burned the army's food and grass, and forced the soldiers and horses of this route to retreat.

Maybe it's Xu Jun's troops who came here this time... Just to try the quality of the elite soldiers of the Southern Dynasty!

With the sound of the horn, the cavalry began to put felt robes on their bodies.Monk Wanyan Chen was eager to try, but the military order issued was still calm:

"The front team mounts their horses and forms two wings, and the middle and rear teams lead horses to cover the luggage, and go straight into the central army's formation. If the Song people attack, the cavalry on the two wings will be driven away, the middle and rear teams must not stop, and the captive team will be cut off if they act rashly."

The front team of cavalry immediately got on their horses according to the order, shouted and scattered to both sides.

The purpose of the action of these hundreds of riders was mainly to guard against the ambush of the Song people in the Shuize Mountains. If the Song Dynasty's army really invaded, it would not be able to resist for a long time.Monk Wanyan Chen threw all the bags and parcels on his back to Alixi, walked quickly, and began to prepare for the battle.

He has a good horse with strong muscles and bones that can gallop under heavy loads, which was bestowed by the emperor.At this moment, he kept two bags of arrows, two bows, a round shield and a short spear on his horse. In addition, he carried short knives on the left and right sides of his waist, and he carried a long spear in his hand.

He didn't wear the curtain hat that the Jurchens used to, but a shabby fanyang hat, together with his heart armor and gray-black round-neck robe, he didn't look like a high-ranking Jurchen official at all, just like a Han Son.

When he was preparing for battle, a long line of Song captives was passing by.Because the knight in charge of the appendix urged sharply, the captives quickened their pace one after another.Someone staggered and fell while walking, but the other people who were tied to the same rope did not dare to stop, and forcefully used their necks to lift the fallen person up.

At this time, a group of Song people came to Monk Wanyan Chen's side, but they also stopped so abruptly.

Monk Wanyan Chen just thought someone fell down again, ignored him, and suddenly heard the scolding of the knight knight, turned his head and found that it was a tall young man, his eyes seemed to be breathing fire, staring fiercely. Own.

The young man had a tattoo of a flag pattern on his face, and he was very strong. After standing firmly on his heels, he was like an iron stake being driven to the ground, and a dozen captives couldn't move him.

Monk Wanyan Chen raised his spear in the air and swirled it around, then got on his horse.In the past few days, he has done a lot of things to attack villages and slaughter villages, he just felt bored, and when he thought of meeting the elite soldiers of the Southern Dynasty, he suddenly felt happy.So seeing the young man's fierce face, he was not annoyed.

He stopped a Qiang man who was about to swing his whip with his spear, and asked casually, "Boy, what do you think of me?"

"You wait for the northerners, who were originally citizens of the Song Dynasty, why did you come to fight the Song Dynasty?" the young man asked.

Monk Wanyan Chen laughed: "I am a Jurchen, not a Northerner, and I have never been a citizen of the Song Kingdom."

The young man said angrily, "I've seen you studying and practicing calligraphy in the army these days! The Jurchens are all savages who drink blood, if they weren't the people of the Song Dynasty, how could they be like this? You have read so many books, don't you know the truth of being a human being?" !"

Monk Wanyan Chen has a young and violent side, but he is really not a reckless man.He is talented, elegant and good at literature and history. When he was serving as a guard in Central Capital, he had the title of scholar.These days his elder brother Wanyan Xilie is holding an important position, he is quite good at respecting corporals and citing talents.Monk Wanyan Chen also studied Confucian classics and history with a Confucian scholar, so he had a little understanding of its meaning.Even when I was marching, I didn't forget to practice calligraphy.

But he never thought that when this young man from Song Dynasty saw him, he would start thinking wildly.

Monk Wanyan Chen shook his head: "The Jurchens are not savages, and your country of Song is the barbarian. As for the principles of being a human being, the first rule is to be loyal to the emperor and serve the country."

At this time, the horn sounded again from the direction of the Chinese army, Monk Wanyan Chen didn't bother to talk much, he swung his wrist forcefully, and the spear hit the young man's face horizontally.

The heavy spear drew blood on the young man's face, and he was beaten half a circle.The boy fell to the ground, opened his mouth and spit out a tooth, still looking up and glaring.

Monk Wanyan Chen had already rode his horse far away.

The Song army who challenged ahead was so bold, it really was a cover, when Wanyan Xielie's troops lined up to meet the enemy in the south, there was a sudden roar of killing behind a pond in the east.

Soldiers of the Song Army in red uniforms jumped up from the large woodland behind Pitang and rushed towards the Jin people.At the same time, a large number of crossbowmen stood further away, shooting fiercely at the Jin army with strong bows and crossbows.The cavalry of the Ji army who were marching and investigating on the top of the pond suddenly suffered a lot of casualties, and blood flowed along the slope of the pond like a waterfall.

It took a lot of energy for the Jin army to attack the cottage in the morning, and there were too many newly captured militiamen and prisoners in the queue.Encountering the enemy suddenly, the formation of the Chinese army was a little chaotic.

But Wanyan Xilie under Shuai's flag was not panicked, he just waved to Monk Wanyan Chen, pointing to the direction where the Song army was attacking.

As soon as he raised his hand, Monk Wanyan Chen rushed over with the cavalry.

The black cavalry and the red infantry were like two waves colliding.

The cavalry marched like a hurricane. Their spears stabbed sharply and their long knives slashed left and right, disrupting the Song army in front of them almost instantly.The Song army could only use squads as units, or retreat, or use shields to block the impact of the Jin army cavalry.A well-trained team used long spears and knives to kill several Golden Army knights in succession on the way to retreat to the back of Pitang.

At this time, the Song people began to blow the trumpets and gongs, gave up the idea of ​​rushing, and intended to form a confrontation, but the generals of the Song army obviously lacked experience in fierce battles, and they were not ignorant of the danger of temporarily changing formations on the battlefield.

The order intended to stabilize the position, on the contrary, prevented the soldiers of the Song army in the front from receiving support, and they collapsed in an instant.A few soldiers who fought bravely were thrown away under the siege of the Golden Army cavalry, and were killed in a blink of an eye.

Seeing this situation, the soldiers who followed up the formation were all terrified, and immediately began to retreat, avoid, and run away.The cavalry of the Jin army chased after them rapidly, and the two sides were twisted together, and the arrows of the Song people were much sparser in an instant.

A general of the Song Army repeatedly shouted to command, but the guards were assassinated one after another.Monk Wanyan Chen's deputy, the Naiman who had lost his tongue, rushed forward and pierced his ribs with a gun, blood gushed out, and the Song soldiers beside him uttered terrifying yells.

The general of the Song Army desperately grabbed the Naiman's spear, trying to create an opportunity for his companions to kill the enemy.However, the companions around were all panicked, and no one reacted to take advantage of this opportunity.Then the Naiman let go of his spear and chopped off his head with a waist knife.

The waist knife slashed through the pocket and embedded in the forehead bone of the Song man.The man from Song roared twice, trying to pull out the long spear between his waist and ribs, but with a little force, blood gushed out from the side of the gun barrel, he sighed, and fell to the ground dead.
