Chapter 713: Using Your Body as Bait

Meng Shanming's wheelchair was carried up the mountain together with his people, and he went to the forefront of the encirclement of the army to inspect it. He observed for himself the formation of the besieged Chen Shaotong's troops, but he still couldn't see anything strange.

There was one thing that made him nod slightly in approval, "The arrangement of troops is quite well organized, and the son-in-law who can be picked out by Zi Pingxiu from the Song army is indeed not a mediocre man."

Comrade Su Qi said: "There are rumors that Chen Shaotong's success was Zipingxiu, and his defeat was also Zipingxiu. It is said that Chen Shaotong's ability was not weaker than Luo Zhao's back then, but he was not as lucky as Luo Zhao. It is said that because of some incidents Suffering humiliation, suffering from the loss of no background, depressed, so he agreed to be Zi Pingxiu's son-in-law. There is also a saying that Zi Pingxiu fell in love with him, but he refused, and the humiliation he suffered later was actually Zi Pingxiu's secret tricks forced Chen Shaotong to surrender to reality."

"It is rumored that there is an inside story. It is said that after Chen Shaotong refused at first, Zi Pingxiu also listened to the advice of the counselors around him and gave up. But Zi Pingxiu's daughter heard that the person she married refused to marry her, and she was very angry. , then secretly ran to find trouble for him, and fell in love with Chen Shaotong at first sight, and fell in love with Chen Shaotong's heroic prowess, so the eldest lady made a fuss and insisted on marrying Chen Shaotong, and finally forced Zi Pingxiu to die. , had no choice but to use tricks to force Chen Shaotong to submit."

Zhang Hu on the side said in surprise: "I said, Lao Su, you still pay attention to this kind of bullshit?"

Su Qitong said with a chuckle: "I heard that this leader should not be blind after going out for an expedition, so I was asked to inquire about it, and I heard it by the way. In short, no matter whether the rumors are true or not, Chen Shaotong climbed the big tree of Zipingxiu. The pros and cons They are all here, and their ranks have risen, but it is said that they are quite excluded in the army. Emperor Song does not want to let Zi Pingxiu's hands penetrate too deeply into the army. He has almost been holding idle positions in the army for these years, and he has nowhere to go I heard that if we hadn't attacked this time, it wouldn't have been Chen Shaotong's turn to show up."

Zhang Hu looked over and said: "The formation of troops seems to be a little tricky, but the spirit of the personnel is not comparable to that of Jiang Fang's troops. It seems that they are not on the same level."

Su Qitong cupped his hands to Meng Shanming and said: "Commander, the last general's subordinates are ready and ready to attack at any time, how about trying his depth now?"

Meng Shanming hesitated a little, but finally nodded, "Be careful."

There is no way, after all, I still have to give it a try, and it is impossible to be frightened by other people's mystification. After all, I still have to find a way to get rid of this stumbling block.

"Don't worry, Commander, it's just a test. If I really find out that it's a trick, I'll take advantage of the situation and kill him!" Su Qitong immediately turned his head and said to the lieutenant in a deep voice: "Send the order and launch the attack according to the plan!"

"Yes!" The lieutenant led the order and left.

Soon, a group of people came from the forest.

Song Jun was not blind either, and immediately noticed the abnormality, and the horn sounded.

Song Jun in Bulao Mountain became agitated when he heard the alarm, and quickly made defensive preparations according to the prior arrangement.

Chen Shaotong who was in the tent also rushed out after hearing the alarm, and a general outside the tent rushed to report, "General, the Yan army has launched an attack."

Chen Shaotong looked in the direction of his finger and saw a group of people rushing out.

Finding that Song Jun had found it, Su Qitong waved his hand, "Boom, boom, boom..." There was a thunderous drum in the forest here.

"Kill!" A team of 50,000 horses shouted loudly and rushed out.

In front is the shield formation, a group of people behind hold simple wooden rafts, and tens of thousands of horses hold a large number of wooden rafts to attack behind the shield formation.

The front of the Song army has dug trenches filled with sharpened wooden thorns, and behind them are blocking horses. A group of Song army archers appeared, and with the command of the commander to "shoot arrows", the arrows shot instantly. The rain was falling, and the air seemed to be shaking.

Densely packed arrows fell from the sky, the tinkling sound of the shields that were resisting was suddenly piercing, and there was a sudden "dodling" sound on the lifting wooden raft, and it instantly became like a hedgehog. A man flashed out from under the raft, also an archer.

Fighting back while attacking, the shields, wooden rafts, and archers are skillful in cooperating, whether it is elite troops or not is reflected at this moment.

Although many people who emerged from the gaps in the wooden rafts were knocked to the ground by the arrows shot by the enemy, it did not affect the attack speed of the Yan army.

Seeing that the casualties of his men and horses had begun to appear, Su Qitong, who was looking far away, tensed his cheeks.

Standing on the top of the mountain, Chen Shaotong was wearing battle armor, his five fingers on the hilt of his sword were clenched tightly, and his cheeks were also tense, staring at the battlefield of attack and defense.

He could see that the combat quality of the defensive troops under his command was very different from that of the enemy army. The enemy army charged and faced the offensive, and the attack formation was not chaotic at all, but on his own side, as the defender, the enemy army's arrows rushed towards his own side. After the damage was done, the defensive lineup visibly panicked.

The law enforcement overseers holding the formation killed some people on the spot to stabilize their position.

As soon as the Yan army rushed across the plain between the two mountains and arrived at the ditch, the shield bearer quickly shortened his stature and made way out of the way. The soldiers holding the raft at the back immediately threw the raft out together and put it directly on the ditch. .

Some rafts have been thrown over the head, but it doesn’t matter, this mistake has long been expected. There is a rattan rope tied behind the raft. . The shield bearer, who was in front of the impact before and then short beside him, immediately rushed up the wooden bridge with his shield up, and rushed towards the opposite bank.

"It's not easy, it should be the elite troops of the Yan army!" Chen Shaotong, who witnessed the situation from a distance, said through his teeth.

How could the monks of the Song army standing at the front to help the enemy succeed? They slashed out sword qi, either smashing the rushing people into the ditch, or directly cutting off the simple wooden bridge, and groups of Yan soldiers fell into it. The trench was pierced by wooden thorns, and there was a scream.

The monks of the Yan army did not show any weakness, and rushed out, or smashed the soil to fill the trenches, or flew out to fight with the monks of the opposing camp, clearing the way for the army behind.

The elite levels of the two sides were not comparable, and the Song army's defense line was quickly disrupted, and a large group of Yan troops invaded the Song army's defensive area.

Chen Shaotong's eyes were tearing apart, his knuckles turned white, he was guarding the pre-built fortifications, and the number of troops was far greater than the opponent's. Cursed loudly, "A bunch of trash!"

The lieutenant-general at the side said urgently: "General, give the order!"

Chen Shaotong glanced at the direction of the general's flag erected in the mountain in front of him, and said angrily: "What's the hurry, wait a minute, can hundreds of thousands of people stop tens of thousands?"

The lieutenant said in pain: "General, our troops here are all mobs. If we fight hard, we will only suffer a large number of casualties, or we can pretend to be defeated!"

Chen Shaotong scolded angrily: "You bastard, shut up! The enemy army has already surrounded us with heavy troops, and they can attack us in one fell swoop. Why do they only send tens of thousands of people to attack? Probe, this is a probing attack, understand? Stare here to check for clues, fake defeat? In this case, if you pretend to be a fool, can't you see the enemy commander? Do your best to fight back, and you have to show the real defeat to others, otherwise you will give them away if you make a move. Scared away!"

He pointed at the lieutenant general's nose, "I use my body as bait, and I don't want tens of thousands of enemy troops here! Let this group of trash stand up, let them all see blood first, let them kill red eyes first, and then kill them!" Have the courage to chase and kill, otherwise you will be soft-legged shrimp! Pass the order down, resist with all your strength, and those who disobey the order will be beheaded!"

"Yes!" The lieutenant bit the bullet and accepted the order, turned around and gave this cruel order.

The 100,000 civilians on the mountain trembled with fear when they saw this situation. There were not enough troops here, so they recruited 100,000 civilians to accompany the army to serve as logistics, to help transport food and the like.

Witnessing a large number of troops rushing out of the mountain and besieging the Yan army that broke through the line of defense, Chen Shaotong stared at the command center of the Yan army again, and then turned around and asked, "Are you sure you won't hurt our troops?"

Next to him was a general wearing battle armor who changed his face, and he said slowly: "General, don't worry, the medicine has been secretly mixed into the diet of the army these days, and the medicine has penetrated into the body of the horses and men. , there is a special smell emanating from the body, those things will not attack the people under the general's command! The general has tested it himself, why don't you feel relieved?"

Chen Shaotong nodded slightly, and took a deep breath. It wasn't that he was worried, but that he wanted to confirm repeatedly that this was a battle on the battlefield, and he couldn't afford to make mistakes!

He had been silent for many years, and finally got this opportunity, and he didn't want to make any mistakes, otherwise he would not be able to explain to his father-in-law or himself!

After estimating for a while, Zhang Hu, who was watching the battle, stared at the battlefield and said: "The 400,000 people, I'm afraid half of them have already concentrated to resist our army's tentative attack. It doesn't seem like a fraud. It seems that Chen Shaotong is really playing tricks!"

Su Qitong also immediately clapped his hands at Meng Shanming and said: "Commander, you can't hide your deceit anymore. Now that a large number of enemy troops are concentrated here to defend, the defensive strength of the surrounding defense lines is no longer enough, and the combat power of this group of mobs is nothing more than that." , can launch a full-scale attack and encircle and annihilate these 400,000 enemy troops in one fell swoop!"

He is also a little anxious, tens of thousands of horses are facing the siege of an enemy army several times larger than himself, if they don't add more troops to supplement the attack force, even if they win, the casualties of those tens of thousands of horses will be very heavy. You can't retreat now. The depth of the enemy army has already been tested. If you retreat now, all previous efforts will be wasted. The brothers who died in the previous test will be sacrificed for nothing.

Meng Shanming frowned.

Gong Lince next to him didn't make a sound to disturb anything, but turned his head to stare at Meng Shanming, realizing that Meng Shanming had a rare hesitation.

"Commander, it's time to launch an all-out attack!" Zhang Hu also chimed in.

Meng Shanming finally nodded and let go, "Let's attack!"

Although he had doubts, but after probing to this point, he really didn't see any deceit from the enemy.

Su Qitong showed joy, and immediately turned his head and ordered: "Order our troops to launch a full-scale attack immediately!"

"Yes!" The deputy general took the order and rushed to convey it.

Soon, the Haozhou troops, who were preset to be on standby at the rear, cooperated with the imperial court's troops, a total of about 500,000 people, rushed into this mountain forest from all sides.

The sound of rumbling war drums resounded around Mount Blessed, and a large group of people rushed out from the mountains and forests in all directions, rushed across the field, and rushed to besiege Mount Blessed, the sound of killing was loud!

"General, the Yan army has launched an all-out attack." The deputy general ran to report again.

"I'm not blind, I see it!" Chen Shaotong glanced left and right, a hint of ferocity appeared on his face, and at any cost, he finally got the large-scale Yan army hooked immediately, turned his head to look at the easy-going general beside him, and said sharply: "Let's start!" !"
