Chapter 24 The decisive battle in Fengzhou (8)

After receiving the order, Zhang Jianxiong, the platoon commander of the Shu army, took three thousand men to fight against Li Jin, the Flying Dragon General of the Shu army. Zhang Jianxiong was strong and had a beard. Like Li Jin, the Flying Dragon General of the Shu army, he was also good at using guns and was a famous master of gun use among the Guards. Li Jin defeated Zhao Wu and captured Hu Li during the last time when he fought against the Guards. Zhang Jianxiong did not get a chance to fight at that time and was not convinced by Li Jin. This time he led his troops out of the camp and saw that the Shu army was the Flying Dragon General Li Jin, he was immediately excited and stared at Li Jin with his eyes.

The Shu army had already formed a formation and was ready for the battle. Seeing that the Shu army was not large, Zhang Jianxiong relied on the advantage of large numbers and issued an attack order. Zhang Jianxiong led a thousand people to attack head-on, and one thousand on the left and right wings attacked the flanks of the Shu army. After the Zhou army entered the archery route, the two hundred crossbowmen began to shoot. The Zhou army guards officers held a round shield in one hand and a knife in the other. When the crossbow arrows were shot, they raised the round shield to protect the vital parts of their bodies. They soon rushed to the front of the Shu army formation. The two armies were entangled and began a cruel hand-to-hand combat.

There are few fierce hand-to-hand combat in modern warfare, and the advantages and disadvantages of long-range weapons can often determine the outcome of the war. As a modern soldier, Hou Dayong was deeply influenced by modern combat methods. Therefore, after ancient times, he paid great attention to the long-range attack role of crossbows and arrows and bows. He tried to avoid it if he could not fight in close combat. After all, in hand-to-hand combat, he killed 3,000 people and suffered 800 damages. After the operation in Cangzhou and Zhengzhou, the equipment of the Black Diao Army has been continuously improved, and now it has basically reached the level of equiping each person with a crossbow and a bow. In tactics, he is skilled in concentrated use of crossbows and bows and uses crossbows in movements. His daily training is very targeted. After dozens of battles from Cangzhou to Qinzhou, the Black Diao Army has experienced the wonderfulness of using crossbows and bows countless times, from officers to sergeants. Before each war comes, checking crossbows and bows has become the most important preparation for the Black Diao Army.

At that time, ordinary troops had not yet reached the strategic level of understanding of long-range weapon crossbows and bows, and decided the outcome mainly by relying on close combat. Although the Shu army's Feilong Army was a team that could conquer and fight, due to the limitations of the conditions, the use of crossbow arrows was far from reaching the level of the Black Eagle Army, so their 200 crossbowmen did not cause too much trouble to the guards and imperial guards.

Zhang Jianxiong rushed into the Shu team with a pear blossom gun. The pear blossom gun was like a poisonous snake, quickly piercing the bodies of several Shu soldiers. Seeing that Zhou generals were approaching, Li Jin assassinated two close-up Zhou soldiers and rushed to Zhang Jianxiong.

As the two cavalry intersected, Li Jin's gun was like lightning, without any fancy moves, and stabbed Zhang Jianxiong at the throat. Zhang Jianxiong stared at the tip of the oncoming gun. When the tip of the gun was about to get close, Li Hua Gun lifted the spear and stabbed Li Jin straight with the momentum. Li Jin's gun was fast, Zhang Jian had great force, and the two of them fought for more than ten moves, but they did not decide the outcome.

Seeing that Zhou's army had the advantage, Li Tinggui gradually gained the upper hand. He did not want to fight for a long time, he ordered to withdraw the troops. After hearing the order to withdraw the troops, Li Jin used a "phoenix nod". The tip of the flying dragon spear trembled and stabbed Zhang Jianxiong in the face. This move seemed fierce, but it was actually a false move. If the opponent's latitude, the tip of the spear changed its move in the middle and stabbed it straight into the chest and abdomen. Li Jin used this move to assassinate many enemy generals. Zhang Jianxiong's spear move was very simple. When Li Jin's flying dragon spear came, he did not defend at all. The pear blossom spear was aimed directly at Li Jin's face.

Both generals had no grid, and the tips of the two guns were about to stab the opponent's door. Li Jin had already felt the strong wind brought by the tip of the gun. Zhang Jianxiong's way of playing, so his move could not be used. Li Jin returned to the gun and picked up the pear blossom gun, lifted the horse and jumped out of the battle circle.

Wang Jing, the chief general of the Zhou army, saw that although the Shu army retreated, the formation was not chaotic. Several rows of crossbowmen were ready to shoot in front of the Shu army camp. They could not get any advantage after chasing them, so he ordered the troops to withdraw and return to the camp.

Wang Jing returned to the camp with a sad face, but Xiang Xun looked excited and walked around in front of the camp. Seeing Wang Jing coming back, he said, "Journey General, I'll treat you to a drink at noon today."

Wang Jing said: "Now, even if the three treasures of sea are placed in front of me, I can't eat them."

Xiang Xun smiled and said, "How is the war today?"

Wang Jing said: "Zhang Jianxiong and Li Jin are playing against each other, and there is no difference in winning or losing."

Xiang Xun said: "No matter what, the Jiedushi must have an appetite at noon today."

Wang Jing's eyes lit up when he heard this and said, "Is there any news in Qinzhou?"

Xiang Xun said: "The sergeant sent by the defense envoy just arrived. Last night, the defense envoy broke through Qinzhou City and wiped out the Shu army defending the city. The Xiongwu Jiedu governor Han Jixun committed suicide, and the observer Zhao Ji was captured."

Wang Jing was stunned for a while and said, "No wonder the Shu army came to challenge today. They must have known that Qinzhou City was broken. During this period, I have been worried about food and have never been comfortable. The Southern Court envoy is rare to be so happy. We both have a good meal at noon."

Xiang Xun said, "I have asked someone to prepare drinks." He said, "After conquering Qinzhou, our army can breathe a little slow down, but the main force of the Shu army has not been damaged, and there are still many tough battles to fight."

Wang Jing said: "In May, we sent troops to Dasanguan. After more than fifty days, we captured Huangniu Bazhai and Qinzhou City. The battle record was quite good, and we finally fulfilled our grace. We can take a temporary rest and replenish our military rations. The one who is anxious now should be the Shu army, who lost Huangniu Bazhai, and the Shu Lord killed Zhao Jili and Qinzhou City. Who should we use to attack?"

He slapped the junior and said, "Jingdushi Gaoming, I understand what you mean."

Wang Jing said: "We immediately sent people to Chengdu to spread the news that the Shu general Li Tinggui refused to rescue Qinzhou because of fear of war, which led to the fall of Qinzhou, disrupted the Shu court, and added pressure to Li Tinggui, forcing him to take the initiative to fight our army."

Xiang Xun said: "You can add two thousand Fengxiang troops to defend Qinzhou and transfer the Black Eagle troops to Fengzhou."

Wang Jing said: "The Black Eagle Army has achieved great results and has not let down His Majesty's kindness."

After the Qinzhou War, Hou Dayong placed the Daying in the original Nandaying of the Shu army. In the Qinzhou War, the Black Diao Army and the Shu army engaged in street fighting. The Black Diao Army's advantage of long-range attack was not fully utilized. Although it finally wiped out the Shu army, it also suffered many casualties.

After Hou Dayong and Shi Hu patrol each battalion, they came to the residence of medical officer Han Qi. Since the Dasan Pass sent troops, the Hei Diao Army had injured two lieutenants, seriously injured He Wulang when attacking Huangniu Bazhai, and Chen Renyi when attacking Qinzhou.

Hou Dayong and Shi Hu just entered Han Qi's tent when they heard Chen Renyi shouting: "What's this little injury? I used to have a big hole in my chest and put some herbs on it. It's not that nothing happened, I'd better go back to the camp to live here, and I'm so bored."

Han Qi said: "Is your injury serious? Two of the five gunshot wounds have seen bones. Good things are not busy. Stay here for two more days and change the medicine at any time to heal quickly. If the wound ulcerates, the minor injury will turn into a serious injury."

Chen Renyi said: "I don't care, I'm going back."

Hou Dayong smiled and said, "Person Chen, what's the point of staying for two days? If you feel upset, you can walk around nearby. If you don't have any complete treatment, you will not be allowed to return to the camp. This is an order."

When Chen Renyi saw the defensive envoy say this, there was no way, and said, "If you live here, you will get sick even if you are not sick." He also said, "These Shu soldiers have suffered more than the Shu army in Huangniu Bazhai, and there are many casualties when attacking the city walls." Chen Renyi looked a little sad when he thought of the casualties.

Hou Dayong asked Han Qi: "How is the injury of the Captain He?"

Han Qi said: "It's nothing serious, but I have to wait three or four months to go to the battlefield."

Hou Dayong said: "This war is frequent, and it is still not enough for doctors to be used in the army. How have your disciples learned?"

After Han Qi came to the Black Eagle Army, Hou Dayong transferred more than 40 clever soldiers to Han Qi as assistants. Han Qi said: "These disciples can already cure some minor injuries, but if the injuries are serious, there is no way. After all, the water freezing is not a day long. If you want to take the lead alone, it will take some time to sharpen it."

Hou Dayong said: "If you want to be here, the soldiers have no worries and are much more courageous in charge. You should urge them to study hard. If you don't join the army in the future, you will have a skill."

After leaving Han Qi's camp, Hou Dayong asked, "Zhao Rui or not speak?"

Shi Hu said: "This man is very strong and the surrendered soldiers of the Shu army respect him very much."

Hou Dayong said: "Zhao Ji wants to learn from Xu Shu, so he will not say anything when he enters Cao's camp. Let's go and meet him."
