It has been half a day since Sun Tu confirmed on the high slope that the Song army attacking Hangzhou was defeated by the rebels. Such a long time was naturally enough for the Shandong Army to make a series of response arrangements.
At that time, Qian led his scouts to move forward to find out the specific situation of the troops on both sides, and after he found out the basic marching route and sent it back, Sun Tu made a decisive and bold decision to ambush his army in Lizuo. Lin'an City is still more than ten miles away in this mountain forest.
Although the mountains and forests here are not enough to cover the whereabouts of more than 20,000 people, when the enemy focuses all their attention on the defeated army who are fleeing for their lives, they still ignore the danger here and give the Shandong Army an opportunity to take advantage of it. . And the only question is just one - how to ensure that the chasing parties will rush through Lin'an and come to this dangerous mountainous area? After all, for the defeated army, escaping into the city is the best option.
In this regard, Sun Tu's answer was very straightforward: "As long as the general can maintain a little calmness, he will not choose to enter the city rashly, because escaping into the city when being chased by the enemy is the only way to endanger yourself. If this is the case, They are not worth our efforts to save! If they want to survive, this is the only way for them to survive!"
In the end, Xu Shen did not disappoint Sun Tu. Even in such a dangerous situation, he still maintained a certain degree of calmness and could not cross the city. He continued to flee north and came to the mountain forest where Sun Tu led his army to ambush. However, he was overtaken by the rebels before he could enter the forest. With only one step left, he had to make a last-ditch fight with the enemy.
When Sun Tu saw this situation in the forest, he knew that he could not wait any longer and immediately ordered an attack!
The Shandong Army, which had long been ready to attack, immediately surged out, catching both the enemy and ours by surprise, and attacked the Wu Army in front who was already looking frightened. The two sides were still more than a hundred steps apart. The running soldiers had already taken out their bows and arrows, and fired them upwards. The arrows passed through high arcs, passing the Song Army soldiers in front, and then fell behind. Wu Jun's head. As soon as the time came, screams and screams could be heard endlessly. Most of the strong momentum just dissipated in an instant, and many Wu troops retreated instinctively.
In this way, the fighting spirit and confidence of the Shandong Army were further stimulated. With the shouts, they rushed forward faster. At the same time, unlike the previous Song Army that was in chaos after a battle, this well-trained However, the Shandong Army, which had experienced various life-and-death battles, could still maintain the strong cohesion of the battle formation despite the full-speed attack. The front arrow formation, which was most conducive to attacking and killing the enemy, penetrated the defeated Song Dynasty army that had hurriedly avoided it, and They collided head-on with the Wu army led by Fang Shifo.
In just one encounter, Wu Jun, who had previously shown off his might and was extremely ferocious, had already revealed his true form. They were no match for the elite Shandong Army at all. When they were knocked off their feet, the already scattered formation instantly shattered and fled in all directions like a plate of loose sand, without the slightest ability to parry.
At this moment of confrontation, the status of the Song and Wu armies had been reversed. After seeing Paoze in front of them being easily dispersed and killed by the Song army, the remaining people were gripped by fear and suddenly turned around and ran away with screams. No one dared to fight the enemy head-on. courage.
In fact, the reason for such a sudden change from heaven to earth was that in addition to the Shandong Army's sudden attack and catching the Wu Army by surprise and the fact that they were indeed more powerful, the more important reason was that the Wu Army was actually a tired army that was at the end of its battle.
You know, they started yesterday
In the afternoon, they were engaged in the battle with the Song army, and they fought for a full day and night. Even the ambush soldiers who joined the battle group later had to chase and fight for a whole night and a half. Especially during this period of time, they ran from Hangzhou to Lin'an County in one go. Their physical fitness had already reached the limit.
It was only the belief that they would win that supported them before, and the Song Army's performance was even worse, that made the Wu Army still strong. But when they encountered such a new force with similar strength but more fierce force, their morale was immediately exhausted, and they no longer had the heart to hold on.
The sudden collapse of his men's soldiers and horses made Fang Shifo extremely upset. His eyes were red, staring at the familiar military flags in front of him, and he roared like a roar: "Sun Tu... it's you again!"
Sun Tu and the Shandong Army under his command have become a nightmare in Fang Shifo's heart. From Danyang to Sanyuanling, it seems that every confrontation between him and Sun Tu ends in a disastrous defeat. His heart is filled with resentment that cannot be vented. They all want to kill this guy to wash away the shame. It was with such determination that Fang Shifo was so crazy in this battle. He led his troops to chase for dozens of miles and still refused to let go of the retreating Song army.
But now, seeing that a big victory is within reach, this nemesis of his has appeared again! This made him unable to bear it anymore. He had nothing else in his eyes and only wanted to kill Sun Tu to avenge his past. Roaring in his mouth, completely ignoring the few soldiers left to follow him, he resolutely urged his horse forward again, swinging his hammers, and rushed straight towards the Song army's brigade.
Originally, the defeated army of the Song Dynasty regained their fighting spirit after seeing such a surprising turn of events, and shouted and wanted to follow him to fight back. However, after seeing Fang Shifo charging towards him again with a ferocious face, everyone remembered that he had almost killed him before. Seeing the scene of defeating his own offensive with one person's strength, he suddenly felt panicked and stopped. Those Shandong soldiers, on the other hand, showed no fear at all. They still arranged themselves in neat formations and rushed forward without hesitation. They immediately started a head-on duel with Fang Shifo and the thousands of people behind him.
These Wu troops who bravely followed their generals forward were naturally no match for the Shandong Army. Once they clashed, they would be killed so hard that it was difficult to protect themselves. But when faced with the completely crazy Fang Shifo, they were powerless. With his two hammers swinging like crazy and with all his strength, there was almost no enemy in front of him, but he once again cut a bloody path and advanced on the Chinese army.
When the old events reappeared and they saw this scene, Zhang Gun and other soldiers' faces became even more pale. They couldn't help but murmured: "How is this possible... Is he still human?" The fear in their hearts made them ignore it. At this time, our own army actually had the absolute advantage, and they even thought about turning around and escaping again. There was no way, this fiasco was a huge blow to them, especially Fang Shifo, which left an indelible and terrifying impression in their hearts.
Seeing Fang Shifo as if he had entered an uninhabited land, going back and forth, killing dozens of soldiers, and seeing that he was still coming towards the Chinese army, Sun Tu's face turned livid, and he immediately shouted: "Our army is Don’t you have the courage to kill this beast?”
"I'll do it!" With several consecutive angry shouts, several generals rushed out one after another. It was Lin Chong, Dong Ping and Hua Rong. The first two were the ones with the highest martial arts skills in the army - except for Sun Tu. His two senior brothers, Shi Wengong and Lu Junyi, are not here.
These three generals were also completely angered by Fang Shifo's ferocity. At this time, they were in front of the two armies, and there were no rules.
It can be said that after killing the opponent, one spear and three spears were directed towards him like four dragons of different lengths.
Fang Shifo was just about to kill. Even if he saw three generals from the opponent coming together, one of whom had fought against him before and injured himself, he was not afraid. He roared again and again, and danced with his hammers in such a way that the wind and rain could not pass through him. It was a head-to-head confrontation with these four weapons, and he actually didn't lose.
At this time, the three people with extremely rich combat experience had all changed their minds at the same time. Fang Shifo's natural power was most suitable for such a frontal attack, so such a fierce attack would naturally play into his heart. Hua Rong was the first to make a change. He no longer rushed to kill, but moved his horse to the side. At the same time, he had already drawn the bow in his hand. He stabbed the overcoming enemy with his spear and held an arrow in his hand. Be ready to shoot him off guard at any moment.
Lin Chong then rode his horse to the side, but he hesitated with the spear in his hand, aiming at Fang Shifo's vital points, forcing him to no longer be able to kill ordinary soldiers as unscrupulously as before. Dong Ping, on the other hand, had his eyes wide open, and his two short spears were tumbling like dragons. He did not fight head-on with his hammers, but instead looked for openings, forcing him to constantly change his moves, so as to avoid the real and hit the weak, and use long to attack the weak.
As a result, Fang Shifo, who was so majestic just now and was killing everyone in all directions, was in an extremely dangerous situation. He had to beware of Lin Chong's cold spear from the side, and he also had to fight with Dong Ping's two spears. Still unable to charge forward and take advantage of his strength, his aura suddenly became chaotic and his moves became slower.
After more than a dozen moves, Dong Ping saw its weakness. In terms of the exquisiteness of the moves, the opponent was not at the same level as him. Therefore, the short spear in his hand was even more varied. He used the "Tou Zi Jue" and "Zi Zi Jue" in an endless stream. Just to prevent Fang Shifo from completely stretching his posture, most of his power would be completely blocked.
Just as he was getting more and more upset as he fought, and was unable to do anything even though he roared repeatedly, something even more terrifying happened. Following the sound of a string, an arrow from the side came like lightning, heading straight for the flaw under his newly exposed armpit. It was Hua Rong who took action.
Hua Rong, who has been skimming the formation all the time, is best at finding the target's weaknesses and delivering a fatal blow. The opportunity he seized was just right at this time. It was when Fang Shifo swung his left hammer to block the gun, but exposed the weakness under his armpit. The sharp arrow came with a whistling sound, without giving him a chance to make amends. With a pop, it sank within a few inches.
This made Fang Shifo let out a miserable groan and pause in his movements. Lin Chong immediately seized on this flaw, thrust out the spear with a bang, and after bypassing the opponent's right hammer that was swinging desperately, it pierced Fang Shifo's chest diagonally, and passed out of his back with a pop. This spear was filled with 70% to 80% of Lin Chong's strength.
Before he could scream again, Dong Ping's left pistol had been swung out diagonally. The moment the opponent's right hand hammer couldn't be retracted, the short spear had passed through Fang Shifo's throat!
A hoarse sound, unwilling, angry, confused... a scream mixed with various complex emotions spurted out from Fang Shifo's mouth along with blood. At this time, Lin Chong used his strength to challenge again, and actually lifted Fang Shifo straight up from his horse, slamming him to the ground, causing blood to fly...
At the moment this scene happened, Wu Jun, who was still making the final resistance, was stunned, then screamed, lost any fighting spirit, turned around and fled in all directions.
The general is the soul of the soldier. When Fang Shifo, who was like the God of War and had no intention of retreating, was killed by the Song army, all the Wu army officers and soldiers collapsed in an instant, with no fighting spirit at all...
