A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 278: The Mangshan Army... Possessed the Army!

The scouts have been sent out, and all we can do now is wait.

The news started coming back one after another in the afternoon.

No trace of enemy troops was found in the direction of Linzhou.

A team of scouts who suffered heavy losses returned, bringing news from the direction of Fengzhou.

"Qian is under the jurisdiction of Zhizhou. I went out more than ten miles in the direction of Fengzhou and was surrounded by enemy cavalry..."

There was a look of fear in the scout's eyes, "Those enemy riders are like mad dogs, attacking from three sides. Their archery skills are superb. If it weren't for one of us and two horses, we would definitely not be able to come back."

Zhe Jizu stood up suddenly and said to Shen An, "An Bei, you guessed it right."

Shen An remembered the map he looked at earlier and murmured: "Is it Baisheng Village or Xi'an Fort?"

Zhe Jizu closed his eyes and said, "Xi'an Fort is sixty miles away from here. It is impossible for the enemy to place their most elite rangers more than ten miles away from Fuzhou..."

Shen An nodded and said: "Baisheng Village is forty miles away from here, just right..."

"Attack!"

"Rescue!"

When Chen Ang saw that Shen An and Zhe Jizu had made a decision without him, he said angrily: "No!"

"Seven thousand soldiers in Fuzhou City are going to attack? If we are surrounded, where will we go? Where will we go?"

He excitedly pointed to the outside of the city and said: "What if Zang Pang hadn't attacked with all his strength? Seven thousand people were vulnerable in the wild. Then he took the empty Fuzhou City and took advantage of the opportunity to cross the river. Hedong Road would be shaken Got it!"

Shen An frowned and said: "It's reasonable not to raise your voice, your voice is too loud. Also, if you don't hide your lies, you are a worthless thing. He doesn't dare to attack with all his strength..."

"Why?"

Chen Ang felt that Shen An was just telling a joke.

Shen An held the handle of the knife, his clothes were stained red with blood, and he looked like a demon.

He said calmly: "Because he is afraid that if he goes out with his front foot, someone will pick up his nest."

Chen Ang said in confusion: "He can take Li Liangzuo on the expedition."

Shen An smiled and said: "That is the battle of overthrowing the country. The Liao people on the side will laugh to death."

"Liao people?"

"Yes, the Liao people will sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight. If they don't hide their lies, they will have no eggs, but they are not stupid."

The Liao people would be very happy to see the Song Dynasty and Xixia people fighting hard, and it would be best if both sides suffered losses, and then Yelu Hongji would happily lead people to clean up the mess.

"Assemble!"

Zhejizu was ready to attack vigorously.

Chen Ang shook his head: "No, I don't allow it!"

He felt it was dangerous.

"Fuzhou will fall!"

Zhe Jizu said firmly: "Qian Ju, if we don't rescue, the Xixia people will clean up the surrounding forts one by one. By then, Linzhou's food road will be cut off..."

The supplies on Linfu Road were first sent to Fuzhou, and then passed through the forts along the way, all the way to Linzhou.

Once the fortress is cut off, transporting grain and grass will become a never-ending errand, which will make the Song Dynasty despair.

"Attack!"

Zhe Jizu gave the order, and he disobeyed the order and decided to attack.

"A certain person went out with 5,000 men, but 2,000 men were left here."

Chen Ang said blankly: "This is wrong! Zhe Jizu, Shen An, you are taking risks! Someone wants to impeach you! Let you..."

No one paid attention to him. Chen Ang stamped his feet and really went back to write a document, which was quickly sent across the river.

"Have Hedong Road help us quickly! Hurry!"

He roared like a trapped animal: "How can two thousand people defend Fuzhou City? How can they defend it?"

…

More than five thousand people came out of Fuzhou City with great momentum.

Traveling quickly all the way, at nightfall, we followed our ancestors' orders and camped.

"The Xixia people dare not attack at night."

Zhe Jizu said: "They dare not come unless they have an advantage."

He was looking at the dark night in the distance with sharp eyes.

Shen An said: "We are the bait. If the enemy's army is strong..."

Zhe Jizu turned around and asked, "Are you scared?"

Shen An smiled and said: "I hope to see the cruelest side of the battle. Night attacks are the best. But at night the Xixia people are almost blind. If they dare to come, we only need to use crossbows to shoot them. ."

One night passed, and apart from a few small-scale attacks, the Xixia people made no major moves.

In the early morning, when the fog was still lingering in the camp, a warning appeared in the distance.

"Enemy Cavalry!"

Shen An was nibbling dry biscuits. He looked up and saw more than a hundred riders rushing out of the mist.

"Brother Chun!"

He screamed with all his strength, his eyes turned green, like a wolf that had found its prey.

"Mr. Lang!"

Huang Chun ran over with a piece of dry biscuit in his mouth.

Zhe Jizu turned around and saw Shen An's face turning red, so he nodded slightly.

This is permission.

Shen An only felt his heartbeat speeding up, and he shouted: "Mangshan Army... assemble!"

Huang Chun was happy when he heard this and shouted: "Brothers, it's time to thresh the grass!"

The people around were confused, thinking, are these people crazy?

Shen An kicked Huang Chun down and cursed: "These are Xixia people, gather together, let's attack!"

Beat your sister Cao Gu, we are a regular army now, not horse bandits!

As Shen An spoke, he pulled his horse, and Zhe Kexing said, "Brother An Bei, you can't go."

"Why?"

Shen An asked, he got on his horse and waved behind him.

More than ten cavalry followed, and the rest of Mangshan's army were all infantry.

Shen An smiled at Zhe Kexing and said, "I said I would be a real man, but a real man can't shrink my eggs, so I definitely have to go!"

He glanced at the running infantry and drew his long knife.

"After all, the Mangshan Army is a horse bandit. It's a good thing to have experienced this kind of frontal fighting."

The Mangshan Army was really born as a horse bandit, and Lian Huang Chun, that idiot, blurted out that he was from Da Cao Valley.

Experience regular battle formations early, and then their strength will be amplified, and they will become a strong army in Shen's heart.

Shen An slowly rode his horse forward. The opponent's cavalry originally wanted to evacuate here, but when he saw more than ten cavalrymen of the Song Army coming out with dozens of infantry to challenge, he laughed and then formed an array.

Zhe Jizu glanced at Shen An, and seeing his calm expression, he nodded slightly and said, "What a good man!"

Shen An kicked the horse's belly slightly, and the horse slowly accelerated.

More than ten cavalry and dozens of infantry, this strange combination set off.

The enemy troops began to attack.

More than a hundred enemy cavalry began to accelerate.

The two sides are getting closer...

Shen An is slowing down.

"Baoyu!"

Yan Baoyu rode out with five horses.

They were all carrying a bag.

When they rushed to a distance of more than 200 steps from the enemy's cavalry, Yan Baoyu began to turn his horse around, seemingly panicked and embarrassed.

He slowly loosened his hand, and from the leaking hole, the iron caltrops fell down without leaving a trace.

When Zhe Kexing saw this scene, he couldn't help but said in surprise: "Brother Anbei, you spent money on Hedong Road just to build this?"

Shen An said with a cruel smile: "How can I fight an uncertain battle when I go into battle! Today is the day when our Mangshan Army will become famous, brothers!"

"Husband!" Everyone agreed in unison, like a party scene in a cottage. After Shen An, the big boss, came out, everyone shouted in unison.

"Prepare……"

The enemy army had already rushed to the caltrop area. A war horse suddenly stumbled, and the cavalry on the horse flew out.

If you hit the ground head first, you are basically certain to die, and the sound of a broken neck bone is heart-numbing.

The horses that followed kept stepping on the thorns, and for a while, the men were turned upside down.

Zhe Jizu from behind said blankly: "He actually made up his mind a long time ago?"

Caltrops is not a special skill, but Shen An actually prepared this thing before coming to Fuzhou, which shows that he really came to kill the enemy.

The enemy cavalry could not stop because the Mangshan army had already raised their crossbows.

They had to rush through the range of the crossbows and then defeat the Song army at close range.

"Crossbow... let go!"

The crossbow arrows flew over, and after passing through this section, screams came from the remaining dozens of enemy cavalry.

After two rounds of crossbows, there were less than sixty enemy cavalry left.

But they have already approached the Mangshan Army!

Shen An raised his knife on horseback and shouted: "Molotov cocktail!"

More than ten rural soldiers with the strongest arms lit the Molotov cocktails and threw them out with all their strength.

Boom!

boom!

The Molotov cocktail burst into flames, the horses screamed, and then the third round of crossbows struck.

They were hit by three different weapons before they even made contact, and these enemy troops were completely discouraged.

Shen An stood up on the horse and felt a rush of blood in his chest.

"Mangshan Army... Po Army!"

He raised the long knife and screamed with all his strength.

Breaking the military!

This is an honor only for forwards!

This is an honor coveted by rural soldiers.

Huang Chun's eyebrows stood up and he shouted: "Mangshan Army... Po Army!"

Yan Baoyu was shouting: "Mangshan Army... Po Army!"

Zhe Kexing's body was trembling, and he pulled out his long sword: "Mangshan Army... break the army!"

More than ten riders rushed out suddenly.

This series of battles was very short. From the enemy's advantage to Shen An leading his army to attack, it only took a moment.

Zhe Jizu was shaking his head: "Anbei has a strategy in his mind. From now on..."

A general asked: "Zhizhou, is he not worse than Han Qi?"

This is something only confidants dare to ask.

Zhe Jizu said disdainfully: "Han Qi is nothing! An Bei will definitely be able to become a general and prime minister in the future, but Han Qi... will never lose a damn battle!"

"Good man!"

At this time, after witnessing Shen An leading his army to launch an attack, the Fuzhou army couldn't help but cheer.

Just like when he knocked down the Liao envoy's falcon with a slingshot and ran wildly with his sister in his arms on the imperial street...

Countless people are cheering for him!

"Good man!"

The remaining enemy troops were in panic, and Shen An was the first to rush in.

A long knife swung towards him, and Shen An's mind was filled with blood at the moment. He slashed with the knife without hesitation.

This is a life-for-life trick!

The enemy is scared!

He was dodging, and then his knife deviated from the target, but it was still aimed at Shen An's waist.

clang!

Yan Baoyu blocked the knife, otherwise Shen An's life would be in danger.

This is Huang Chun's explanation.

Baoyu, Langjun is still young and has never killed many people, so be optimistic about him!

Taking advantage of the momentum of the war horse, Shen An cut off the opponent's arm with one knife. At the same time, an arrow flew over and shot down the enemy in front of him.

Zhe Kexing put away his bow and arrows and chased after him with a knife.

Shen An didn't know how he managed to escape. When he turned back on his horse, none of the enemy riders behind him were spared.

Yan Baoyu had more respect in his eyes and said, "Lang Jun, you killed two people!"

Shen An forgot about it and only recalled it now.

The first man's arm was chopped off by him, and the second man was chopped over by him from behind while escaping, and then was trampled to death by a war horse.

Zhe Kexing rode up and said, "Brother Anbei, you went into battle for the first time and killed two enemies! I admire you!"

Shen An shook his head and said, "Thanks to you and Baoyu for protecting me."

Only now did he feel the danger from before.

But a man should take risks. When the blood rushes into his eyes, when his sight is red, he can throw away everything, including danger.

He rode back.

Zhe Jizu came to greet him personally, which was a big deal.

"Anbei, a good man!"

He shook his head slightly, and the admiration in his eyes could no longer be concealed.

He turned around and shouted: "Who is the good man?"

This is a way to show off in the military, UU Reading www.uukｎshu.net Shen An doesn't understand.

But when more than five thousand people were staring at him, he still felt a little nervous, even at a loss.

"Shen waits for an edict!"
