    Han Shizhong's sharp eyes were as sharp as a falcon's and looked at two battlefields at the same time.  High above their heads is the sharp whistle of Niu Gao and the others.  On the road in the valley below, the cavalry formed a formation, preparing to meet the incoming large group of Hu cavalry.  Everyone is waiting for Han Shizhong's order. The two commanders should go up to assist Niu Gao and his companions in their retreat, or go into the river valley to fight the incoming Hu Qi.  Although the roads in the Lanshui River Valley are not as large as the Fenhe River Valley, there is a large plain that can accommodate the villages and towns of Xiazhou Junchengchi.  But it is enough to spread an army.  At this moment, under the loud orders of Xiaohan Wudu Ruhu, hundreds of cavalry troops, half of them dismounted, formed an arrow formation and faced the west.  The remaining half, riding their horses, retreated slightly, leaving someone to keep an eye on their vacant mounts, ready for a counterattack at any time.  Smoke and dust rose in the west, and the sound of horse hooves roared like thunder. Countless horsemen were speeding up their horses and rushing towards this place with all their strength.  Han Shizhong glanced at the top of his head for the last time, then turned around and squinted at the swirling smoke, and gave a decisive order: "Get closer to Du Ruhu! Shoot Hu Qi from both sides! Another order was given to Niu Gao, telling him to stand firm and not to raise his head.  Press down on these Tatars!" Although Honggu Village had fallen, Han Shizhong was still unwilling to accept it.  In military affairs, the most important thing for a general is to take the initiative.  Unable to seize the key pass of Honggu Village, the Shenwu Ever-Victorious Army was in danger with the Jurchen army and horses, and had no choice but to retreat to the Fenhe River Valley.  If we can capture Honggu Village, we might be able to cover the follow-up army and horses as they move out towards Feiyuan Castle, blocking the way for the Jurchen Tatars to continue their southward journey!  Although Han Shizhong only led more than a thousand light cavalry, the equipment was insufficient and the baggage could not keep up.  But suddenly the Tatars charged and killed.  One glance at Han Shizhong will tell you their fighting power.  Array failed.  It's a mess.  What's the use of being fierce and brutal?  With the more than a thousand elites he currently leads, it may not be impossible to defeat them and take back Honggu Village in one fell swoop!  These Tatars, I don¡¯t know where the Jurchens found tribal vassal troops, not to mention that most of them are not yet stable at the moment. Even if they are stable, they probably don¡¯t know how to defend the stronghold!  If the Tatars who rode in lightly and captured Honggu Village were of this caliber, then it might be possible to take them back.  I just hate those Hedong troops in Zhejia.  He didn't even put up any resistance to such a bastard Tatar and let them in easily!  Han Shizhong made a decision in an instant. The Tatars pouring down from the mountain were scary.  But foot combat in the mountains is not their strength.  As for the Qingqi rushing in the valley, they were probably the main force of these miscellaneous Tatars. They defeated them, and these miscellaneous Tatars were naturally frightened.  As long as Niugao and the others can hold on for a while.  First, clear out the main force of the Hu Tatars in the valley road, and then turn to attack the stronghold.  Fight to get Honggu Village back!  Following Han Shizhong¡¯s order, the flags of the personal guards in charge of flags flying around him flew.  The general's decision was conveyed to the two military horses above and below.  Then the two commanding soldiers, who were dismounting to fight on foot, immediately turned around.  Amidst the sound of armor clashing, they turned down the mountain and moved closer to Du Ruhu.  And on the mountain, Dutou, who was left to command by Niu Gao, watched the Tatars rushing down closer and closer, and could not help but look back nervously, paying attention to the flag where Han Shizhong was.  When he saw the order, he roared angrily: "All the traitors, stand still! Let the general defeat the Tatars at the foot of the mountain first!" All the soldiers in the capital also shouted: "Stand still!" ~~~  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  The miscellaneous bearded Tartars rolled and danced like a mountain torrent and poured down. Although the arrow rain continued to splash out rhythmically from the small array composed of only a few dozen Southern Dynasty soldiers, each round of arrow rain,  They all shot down more than ten miscellaneous Tatars.  But their momentum still didn't stop, and they finally crossed the death zone blocked by arrows, and ran into the array of Song Army soldiers standing like a mountain.  The sound of weapons and armor clashing was loud. The soldier who stood in front to protect his archer put his front feet on the ground and his back feet, lowered his center of gravity, and held his shield in front of him.  Immediately, I felt how many heavy bodies hit the shield in their hands!  The horses led by Han Shizhong were all cavalry.  Even if you dismount and fight on foot, you won't lose, but after all, there is no formation fighting like the side cards that the infantry holds that are large, thick, and have sharp lower ends that can be smashed into the soil.  If these bastards bump into such side cards, their heads will be smashed and they may not be able to move much.  Now these warriors of the Shenwu Ever-Victorious Army only rely on the small shields in their hands and their own bodies!  The huge collision caused the formation of soldiers to collapse immediately, and the Tatar who was the first to be knocked down also fell to the ground dizzily.  Neither side carried long weapons and could not form an array to stab each other before the collision.  The prairie bastards simply don't have the fighting style of heavily armored infantry warriors to line up and stab each other with long swords in the hope of life.  The idea of ??these bastard Tatars was to risk their lives to break through the array, and then the people behind would rush in and chop and kill indiscriminately.    Seeing that the originally weak formation of the Southern Dynasty soldiers was knocked loose, the front row of both sides were all turned upside down.  The miscellaneous people in the back row were pushing each other to rush in, but another row of Southern Dynasty soldiers rolled up in front of them.  But it was the sergeants who had just retreated after shooting the last round of arrows. They quickly threw away their bows, raised their shields and raised their swords, and more than ten people lined up.  It is still a standard sword-and-shield infantry warrior's action to engage the enemy.  Lower your center of gravity, lift the shield of your left hand upward to lift the enemy's weapon, step forward, and stab out with the long knife!  With the sword flashing, more than a dozen soldiers from the Shenwu Ever Victorious Army had already taken three steps forward and thrust out three swords!  The array remains neat.  Three thrusts and three stabs, all in uniform order, like more than a dozen killing machines.  More than ten bloody paths suddenly opened in front of him!  The long screams of the Zahu Tatars resounded throughout the mountains.  The huge momentum was blocked by life and death, and he was killed without being able to fight back!  The commander in charge of this small phalanx stood there with a wooden whistle in his mouth and his long sword unsheathed, with a slight smile on his face.  Staring at the killing in front of him, he suddenly blew the wooden whistle in his mouth.  The soldiers of the Shenwu Ever Victorious Army who had taken three steps forward immediately retreated in unison.  Then more than ten soldiers came up from behind, still using the same set of actions, lifting their shields and raising their swords!  Blood splatters.  Screaming again and again.  It's just a change of columns.  Hundreds of miscellaneous Tatars who poured down from the mountain were killed so much that they lost the courage to fight hand to hand.  Stop behind.  The ones in front are trying their best to push back.  In front of Shenwu's ever-victorious army, the hedgehog gathered into a big lump, shouting and cursing in various nonsense languages, and was killed like melons and vegetables!  Under Han Shizhong¡¯s command, Xiao Yan¡¯s Shenwu Changsheng Army had the most experience.  They are either the elites of Kansai who have been fighting for many years with the Western Army and the Party members, or the men of Youyan and Hebei who have experienced more wars and wars in Yan.  Under Xiao Yan's leadership, there has never been a shortage of soldiers, pay and military resources - it can even be said to be abundant.  There were also people like Yue Fei who were naturally good at running the army, presiding over the drills.  Even when the Kansai elite only exercise once every five days and once every ten days at most, the Shenwu Ever Victorious Army has been insisting on one exercise every two days.  This military horse, which can be called a strange one in the Song Dynasty, knows that it is the biggest reliance for its survival in the Song Dynasty.  That¡¯s outstanding combat power!  And Han Shizhong¡¯s Chinese Army Headquarters is the most elite among these elites!  You can do horse fighting on horseback, whether it's a long-distance attack or a sharp whistle.  Or dress up as a heavy cavalry and enter the battle.  All available.  After getting off the horse, you can set up a strict arrow formation with a bow and crossbow, and shoot alternately.  When it comes to hand-to-hand combat, no matter whether it is advancing step by step with a long sword, forcing the opponent to trade lives.  Or a dangerous fight with swords and shields, these most elite members of the ever-victorious Shenwu Army are not afraid of anyone!  When Zhao Kuangyin founded the country, he had the most precious combat power of 100,000 forbidden troops.  That's all.  These are the grassland bastards who have not yet formed a basic military organization, and are just relying on their instincts to become good light cavalry.  How could he be an opponent?  Not to mention the huge difference in equipment between the two sides!  In the blink of an eye, the Zahu brigade rushing down from above were killed and flowed back.  The miscellaneous beasts that surged up from both sides were so frightened that they stopped at a distance, hesitantly opened their horned bows, and threw out their arrows.  And those soldiers of the Shenwu Ever-Victorious Army, who had been covered in blood, just casually covered their vital points when they saw the arrows coming.  Let those feather arrows hit his heavy armor and create sparks.  Amidst the rain of arrows, all the soldiers, even somewhat leisurely, reorganized into a phalanx facing the enemy on three sides.  Then some soldiers opened their bows again and fired out row after row of arrows, driving the Tatars further away on the mountain road.  In front of them, the mountain road was filled with corpses, and the injured were struggling and moaning.  For these Tatars, the soldiers of the Shenwu Ever Victorious Army didn't even have much interest in making up for it.  Suddenly, all the soldiers in the capital let out a huge cheer.  Niu Gao and Qu Gai, covered in blood, were seen escorting several scarred sentinels back to the phalanx. However, the Tatars who were chasing after them did not dare to come near, and even kept looking back, as if they wanted to retreat to them.  He was hiding in the ruins of the abandoned village just now.  Niu Gao entered the phalanx and slapped the head and shoulders of Du who had been standing still to command: "Young man, good fight, stand firm! Don't let me down, I've always been optimistic about you!" Na Dutou  He curled his lips again. Anyway, no one has ever counted on you, General. Who wants you to take good care of them "General, these Tatar thieves really don't stand a chance of fighting. Why don't you counterattack and just attack them?"  "Capture this bird village?" Niu Gao looked a little excited after the fight, and almost agreed as soon as his mind became hot.  If he dared to nod, Qu Gai, who was following behind him and looked unhappy, would dare to rush forward first.  But Niu Gao still had some sense at least: "Wait for General Han's order!" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ On the wall of Honggu Village, silver skills can always be  Watching the battle progress, his brows were furrowed.  As expected, it is still the powerful army of the Southern Dynasties!  Sure enough, we are still a powerful enemy of the Jurchen army!  The fighting on the mountain road subsided slightly, but the roar of horse hooves in the river valley became louder. Seeing that the large group of miscellaneous men were about to turn around the mountain bend, they would face the Southern Dynasty army horses that were already arrayed on guard.  Standing next to Yin Shuke was a Jurchen Muke Ahan, who could not help but shake his head.  There are many miscellaneous tribes in these grasslands and the population is quite prosperous.  But this combat power is really overwhelming.  No wonder they have been suppressed by the Khitans for more than a hundred years and cannot resist at all.  The soldiers and horses of the Southern Dynasty were also killed like melons and vegetables.  "Yin Shuke, if you don't send an order to let those people at the foot of the mountain retreat, how many lives will it cost to get in?" Yin Shuke replied coldly: "How do you know if you don't give it a try? These living mouths, how many lives will be lost if they die?  ?¡± He turned to look at Ahan again: ¡°Even with thousands of people coming from afar, these Nanbarbarians can¡¯t take back Honggu Village with just our Jurchen men! Even if we kill just one Nanbarbarian with these people!  One. Once this powerful Southern Dynasty army is destroyed, the entire Southern Dynasty will be opened up in front of our Jurchen sons!"
