Destroy Jin and conquer Song, and carry the Northern Expedition through to the end

Chapter 197: Risking Your Life for Victory

"clang!!!"

Liu Huai waved his spear, trying to push away Tu Danzhang's spear.

Tu Danzhang also made the same move.

The 10-foot-long gun tip and the spear head collided with each other, emitting brilliant sparks and a loud noise that made one's teeth ache.

However, the loud noise was soon dissipated by the deafening shouts and the sound of horse hooves.

Liu Huai only felt a huge force coming from his hand, and the tip of the spear tilted and stabbed past the helmet of the opposing general.

Tu Danzhang was in an even worse condition. His strength had worn out due to age, and he was not as strong as Liu Huai. Not only did the spear fall out of his hand, but his body also tilted to the right.

Liu Huai naturally did not expect to knock down the enemy general with just one spear. When the two horses staggered, his right hand still maintained the posture of stabbing with the spear, while his left hand took off the melon hammer hanging beside the horse's neck and swung it towards Tu Danzhang's forehead.

Tu Danzhang was already shocked and angry because his weapon was knocked down as soon as they met. Now he saw a yellow hammer head rapidly enlarging in his field of vision, which made him even more terrified.

Fortunately, Tu Danzhang's body was originally tilted to the right, so he simply took advantage of the situation and dodged the fatal blow by tilting sideways.

The yellow hammer head brushed past the red tassel on the gourd helmet and swung over, knocking Tu Danzhang's helmet directly away.

Without time to think, Tu Danzhang's many years of experience in battle made him instinctively counterattack. He also took off the leaf hammer hanging on the side of the horse's neck and threw it at Liu Huai's back.

However, the aim was extremely off, and it flew out, brushing against Liu Huai's shoulder.

The two men looked back fiercely at the same time, and then rushed forward at the same time.

Speed is the lifeblood of cavalry. The purpose of the two is to open a path for the subsequent cavalry to charge. It is basically a one-round battle. No matter whether life or death is decided, they will not waste time on each other.

What do you mean by three hundred rounds of fighting? Wait until I've broken through your army, then I'll come back and deal with you!
When the time comes, I will find three hundred burly men for you, and each of them will fight with you for three hundred rounds. I guarantee you will have a great time!

Liu Huai's mind was full of random thoughts, but after missing his attack, he could no longer care about Tu Danzhang behind him and had to focus on what was ahead.

He first threw out the melon hammer to knock down an oncoming Jin cavalryman, then bent down and held the spear in both hands, using the horse's power to directly pierce the iron spike spear into the heavy breastplate of the Jin army, and then directly picked it up on the spear head, and with a "hey" sound, he threw him and the spear together, smashing several oncoming Jin cavalrymen into rolling gourds.

"Kill!"

"Follow the Commander!"

"Trample them to death!"

"what!!!!"

Seeing their general so brave, the guards following Liu Huai shouted at the same time.

The armored cavalry of both sides collided, and nearly a hundred casualties were suffered in an instant, but neither side had any intention of retreating, but continued to fight hard against hard.

After a while, the armored cavalry slowed down and the loyal army gained an absolute upper hand.

But the strange thing is that neither the Zhongyi Army nor the Wuxing Army could completely break through the other side.

The reason is self-explanatory.

Both sides are elite, their morale is very high, and both sides feel that victory will be in their pockets.

What followed was brutal close combat.

Both enemy and ally were heavily armored, rendering swords and other sharp blades almost useless. Long-range weapons like bows and crossbows were also rendered powerless, and long weapons like spears were completely useless. Heavy weapons like melon hammers, leaf hammers, iron maces, and iron whips quickly dominated the battlefield.

In the melee between armored cavalry and knights, after suffering several heavy blows, the armor would often not be damaged, but the internal organs and bones would turn into meat paste. Under the tightly covered helmets, there were dead bodies with blood gushing from all seven orifices.

The knights of the Loyal Army would often have just knocked an enemy off their horses when a sharp pain shot through their backs, and before they could even cry out, they were struck by a steel whip. The Jin soldiers who had attacked by surprise had no time to rejoice, as they were hammered to death by several Loyal Army knights, who would then be besieged by more cavalry.

Liu Huai had already opened a gap, drew out his long sword, and moved diagonally to the front of the Meng'an flag.

"go away!"

As the long sword swung, the blade of the golden cavalryman who tried to protect the flag was knocked away. Before he could react, the second one who swung in had already chopped off the flag bearer's arm.

"Give it to me!" Liu Huai held a long knife in his right hand and pulled the Meng'an flag with his left hand.

The flag bearer was tough. Although his weapon and arm fell to the ground, he still held the flag tightly amidst the spurting blood.

The Jin army had already seen this scene and wanted to go forward to rescue, but was stopped by the knights of the Loyal Army. The two sides once again engaged in an extremely brutal melee.

Liu Huai was about to finish off the flag bearer in front of him when he heard a furious roar from behind him: "Eat you!"

Liu Huai swung his sword and knocked the Jin army flag bearer off his horse. He didn't have time to chop off the Meng'an flag that was still raised after he fell to the ground. Looking back, he saw Tu Shanzhang with his hair loose, holding a big axe like a mad tiger, and driving his horse to charge towards him.

Liu Huai laughed out loud: "What a thief! Come on! Round two!"

The guards of both sides fought each other, while the two main generals swung their heavy weapons and fought with their lives on the line.

"No more traffic! Follow me! Follow me!"

Ding Daxing stood on the Ruyi chariot, waving the flag and shouting, "Follow me and charge out."

A captain leaned on his axe, panting and said loudly: "Captain Ding, we are too tired. Let the boys rest for a while, just a little while!"

The first to defend against the enemy today was their team of 200 people. While encountering surprise attacks and harassment from the Jin army, they also had to assemble carts, combine shields, and fight back against the Jin army. At this time, more than 40 people had been killed or injured, and the remaining 150 or so were also exhausted.

Ding Daxing pointed at the Flying Tiger flag that was barely visible in the dust raised by the armored cavalry. "The commander is in there! The commander is fighting for his life! Think about who gave you the land! Think about whether your family members won't have to starve. If we lose, you will die, and the Jin bandits will take away all the land and food. What will happen to your family members?"

The more than one hundred people who gathered together raised their heads, trying hard to suppress their fatigue. Although they said nothing, their eyes were as if they were about to spit fire.

Ding Daxing threw the big flag to a villager, asked him to hold the flag and follow behind him, and jumped off the Ruyi chariot.

"There's still a bunch of them in my crotch, take your short weapons and follow me!" Ding Daxing raised his sword and shield: "Good man! Kill the Jin thieves!"

"Kill the gold thief..."

"Kill the gold thief!"

“Kill the gold thief!!!”

At first, the chants were weak and uneven. By the second time, they were much more coherent. By the third time, over a hundred people were roaring with all their might, as if their throats were being torn apart.

Afterwards, led by Ding Daxing, more than a hundred people joined the melee.

　I have beaten the scholar in white.

　　Celebrate together, and update at noon.
