Chapter 1406 Am I being punished by heaven?
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
Wanyan Zonghan shouted for the soldiers to be careful, but it was too late. After all, the ones lying in ambush here were the elite of the Dayi infantry!
"cut!"
Wu Song brandished his twin swords, and as an infantryman, he had his own methods for fighting cavalry.
With his height and strength, when he wields his twin swords, the Golden Cavalry's warhorse will be in big trouble!
Because Wu Song specialized in cutting off the legs of warhorses, his single strike would cripple the horse!
Lu Zhishen was the same; he wielded his 92-pound demon-subduing staff with incredible speed, directly withstanding the charging warhorse without changing his expression!
With the two of them leading the way, the others naturally wouldn't hold back either. Deng Yuanjue's staff and Lu Zhishen's echoed each other. Although the Dayi side was composed of infantry, the Jin cavalry had no advantage at this time!
"How could this happen? Am I being punished by heaven?"
Wanyan Zonghan was shocked. How many people had Yi Kingdom sent to ambush him? It felt like there were people all around!
"General, you must break through! Get back to the camp!"
The guards around Wanyan Zonghan moved closer to him. They no longer cared about the possibility of a night raid; it was clear that they had been ambushed tonight!
Moreover, it seems there's a problem at the main camp now. Those Yi people also used night raids, and they were even faster than our own!
"Damn it, those damned Yi people, let's charge back!"
Seeing the current situation, Wanyan Zonghan decisively chose to retreat, as he did not want to be surrounded by so many people.
At this time, the Dayi infantry was pressing the Jin cavalry. The surprise attack under the cover of night caught the Jin cavalry off guard at first. When the Jin cavalry reacted and prepared to speed up and crush the infantry, the Dayi infantry, with their united formation, withstood the first wave of Jin cavalry attacks.
This lack of high-end combat power is fatal.
"Release it again!"
The infantry crossbowmen continued to fire arrows at the Jin cavalry. Aiming was difficult in the dark, but the Dayi infantry crossbowmen didn't need to aim too carefully tonight; just getting the general position right was enough.
"Go! Go!"
Wanyan Zonghan's broadsword flashed up and down. As one of the generals of the Wanyan family, he was the bravest among the Wanyan family's generation and had been the leader of the Jin Dynasty's right wing army for the past three years.
Of course, compared to Wanyan Zongwang, Wanyan Zonghan was a bit older, already forty-one years old this year. He had always taken care of the young Jin generals of his generation like an elder.
Even Jin Wuzhu, who has risen to prominence in recent years, had received a lot of care from Wanyan Zonghan before. When the two met, Jin Wuzhu had to obediently call him "elder brother".
"Which way?"
Yuan Lang, wielding two maces, blocked Wanyan Zonghan's path in the darkness of the night!
"Get out of my way!"
Wanyan Zonghan slashed at Yuan Lang with his sword. The energy that erupted at the moment of life and death made Yuan Lang feel the danger!
"Clang!"
Yuan Lang did not take the blow head-on. Instead, he used the steel mace in his hand to strike from the side, deflecting the force of the blow!
After dissipating some of the force, Yuan Lang tried to get close to Wanyan Zonghan's body and use the advantage of short weapons to engage in close combat.
Wanyan Zonghan remained calm. Facing Yuan Lang's approach, he moved his sword-wielding hand closer to the hilt, forcibly using the broadsword as a short sword to prevent Yuan Lang from taking advantage of the situation.
In the instant the two horses passed each other, Wanyan Zonghan even seized the opportunity to kick out while half-leaping in the air!
"Oh!"
Of course, this kick wasn't very powerful. Yuan Lang raised one arm to block it, and then swung his steel mace with the other hand towards Wanyan Zonghan's head! If it had landed properly, it could have blown his skull off!
Wanyan Zonghan wasn't stupid either. He lowered his head, twirled his hands behind his back, and slashed his broadsword straight at Yuan Lang's face!
This is a mutually destructive tactic. If Yuan Lang doesn't dodge, although he might have blown Wanyan Zonghan's skull off one second, he would lose his own head the next. Wanyan Zonghan is betting that the Yiguo people are not so ruthless and won't easily give up their lives!
As it turned out, his gamble paid off. Faced with this suicidal attack, Yuan Lang frowned, slightly retracted his steel mace, parried Wanyan Zonghan's broadsword, and changed its direction!
"drive!"
Wanyan Zonghan knew that the man in front of him who used double hooks was not easy to deal with, so he seized the opportunity, spurred his horse, and quickly widened the distance between himself and Yuan Lang!
"They run pretty fast."
Yuan Lang did not choose to pursue. This Jin general was quite skilled in martial arts, only slightly inferior to Yuan Lang. In addition, the courage he displayed in the face of death made it difficult for Yuan Lang to capture him alive.
However... it won't be that easy for him to run away!
"Ring ring..."
While Wanyan Zonghan was on the run, he suddenly heard the sound of iron rings. He turned his head and saw a nine-ringed monk's staff striking him from the side, aiming for his ribs! If it landed squarely, it would surely break several of his ribs!
"clang!!"
Wanyan Zonghan could only raise his sword to block the attack, while simultaneously pulling his warhorse to turn sideways to mitigate the impact.
"A monk?!"
"Kid! Don't go! Fight this Buddha for a hundred rounds first!"
While speaking to Wanyan Zonghan with great arrogance, Deng Yuanjue swung his monk's staff at Wanyan Zonghan again.
"Clang! Clang!..."
Wanyan Zonghan hurriedly exchanged a few blows with Deng Yuanjue, then his heart sank.
This is incredible! This big monk who appeared out of nowhere is just as skilled in martial arts as the one who used double hooks before!
"drive!"
He dared not delay any longer. After forcefully shoving aside the monk's staff, he turned around and made a move to escape. Deng Yuanjue spurred his horse to give chase, but Wanyan Zonghan suddenly reined in his horse and turned around. The horse's front hooves were raised high, and he used the momentum of the horse to flip over and slash down with his sword!
"A counterattack? Interesting!"
Deng Yuanjue was on high alert while pursuing Wanyan Zonghan, so he was prepared the moment Wanyan Zonghan reined in his horse. He did not expect Wanyan Zonghan to use a move similar to Guan Sheng's "dragging sword technique".
But he remained calm and shouted loudly. He raised his staff with both hands and unleashed a "fire-burning-the-sky" attack, forcefully pushing against the attack!
"clang!!!"
The impact was even stronger this time, and the scattered sparks were particularly dazzling in the night. Both men and horses on both sides were forced back several steps.
"drive!!"
Wanyan Zonghan tried his best to suppress the surging blood and qi in his body. Although the last move was a draw, the monk was very strong, and Wanyan Zonghan actually suffered a small loss. He could not linger in the fight and had to leave as soon as possible!
"Good heavens, no wonder he was able to escape from Brother Yuan Lang's place."
Deng Yuanjue had to take a few deep breaths. Wanyan Zonghan's attack, which used the momentum of the horse, was indeed effective. If it had been one of his brothers who was not strong enough, they would have suffered more or less, and it would have been normal for them to be injured.
However, he had no intention of pursuing them, because he knew that there were still unavoidable enemies on Wanyan Zonghan's way back.
"Erlang! Stop him!"
