Shao Song - Vol 2.3 Chapter 11
Chapter 411 River
Wang De’s vanguard stepped into the battle and urged the morale of the headquarters. Although the Ali Division, who was the first to bear the brunt, was caught off guard and was shaken for a while, it relied on Ali’s own prestige and battlefield experience, as well as the tactical quality of its core forces, and immediately reorganized the army. The two sides immediately fell into a hand-to-hand fight on the small **** in front of the stone bridge in the drizzle.
From this perspective, the assault by Wang De and his son did not seem to be successful.
But in fact, from a larger level, the charge of Wang De and his sons is very significant.
First of all, it greatly boosted the overall morale… Needless to say, since ancient times, the first ascending soldiers and the soldiers in the battle have been the most important of the whole army. Wang De used Jidu to honor them, and the father and son charged forward. There is no need to say anything about the shock to the enemy and the encouragement to our own army.
Moreover, as the war began, the sun rose eastward, and the drizzle of cow hair had a limited effect on the sun behind the clouds. Under the brighter vision, the small **** in front of the stone bridge was originally the most eye-catching place of the two armies, and it was the first to fight. The place naturally attracted the most attention on the battlefield, and all the ministries that couldn’t see it also sent scouts to constantly search for news of the battle.
Turning back to the front, Xiaopo fell into a bitter battle, and the front was ups and downs, while Wang De and his two sons relied on their bravery and full body armor, leading dozens of riders on the front to charge back and forth, and left to rescue. Trapped subordinates rushed to the right to disperse the gold army counterattack offensive. The father and son led the three elite guards. They were like blades and unshakable. Although the cavalry behind them continued to lose their casualties, they continued to cross the river. The increase in the number of central pools, as if there is some root system connected to the Taiping River, making it endless.
On the other side, Ali personally supervised the battle and commanded properly. He kept dispatching troops to exert pressure on the front line, which even made Wang De and his sons exhausted and difficult to deploy.
And the details of these tragic battles, given the size of the battlefield, of course, it is impossible to be known to the observers of the two armies, but they can still see Wang De’s banner moving from side to side, and see the ups and downs of the battle lines on both sides. Ali’s general banner was only two or three hundred steps away from Wang De’s banner, but it was always difficult to get closer to each other.
Then, relying on his own experience to judge the intensity of the war.
And this leads to the second major role of Wang De’s vanguard.
“Li Jiedu, Wu has a military order. Please take this opportunity to erect a pontoon bridge.” A rattle rider galloped up and went straight to Li Yanxian’s Daxian after the commands from the various layers along the way, but it was just a simple word. .
Li Yanxian thought about it for a moment, then realized on the spot, and then immediately conveyed the general order to the headquarters: “Send orders to all ministries to approach the river and erect pontoon bridges, but do not cross the river without authorization.”
The various units of the former army did not dare to neglect and acted immediately, but the second general Dong Xian Niugao, who had rushed to the riverside, was just preparing to build a bridge after hearing the news. The prepared rafts were not towed out yet, and they immediately received new ones. The special military order said that Li Yanxian allowed the Second Ministry to issue small groups of elites to cross the river to share the pressure for Wang Dewang.
Moreover, the Taiping River is really only a small river. The surge after the rain in the past few days cannot conceal the narrowness of the serious river. In particular, the two military scouts have already figured out the river conditions within a few days, knowing where there are shallows in the river, and where The river is narrow, where the flow is slow.
Therefore, just as Wu Jie promised before, and just as Wang Debu just practiced, the erection of the pontoon bridge was quick and simple. Soon more than ten simple and practical pontoon bridges were erected along the river, and Song Junxiao The elites crossed the river and tried to gather at the stone bridge, which in turn triggered a chain reaction of the Golden Army along the front line of the river… The Golden Army brigade stationed on the high ground was nothing but the Golden Army on both sides of the high ground by the river as a face-to-face force, but instinctively did it. In response, some cavalry and infantry took the initiative to fight, trying to prevent the Song army from’crossing the river in a big way.’
“Go and tell Wanyan Benjian, Song Jun is deliberately bluffing and wanting Pusan Beilu, who is leaning on the river, to be stuck. In fact, it is impossible for Song Jun to venture across the river in person at this time. It is Wang Dezhe. In this first raid, it was intended to cover Han Shizhong, so that he must not make a misjudgment, because of a small mistake! Only let Pu San Beilu follow the original plan and quickly upstream to stop Han Shizhong. …In short, the four 10,000 households in the west must advance and retreat together to ensure the stability of the front.”
On the west side of the highland, which is south of the west side, the Wanhu subordinate to the Suhe Suo has already received a military order. At this time, they are marching to the upper reaches of the west in order to suppress the imperial camp Zuojun crossing the river. However, on the side of the marching queue, Zhuma was observing the situation suddenly. After noticing the movement of the river, he immediately sensed Song Jun’s intentions and turned his head to convey to his personal guards.
After hearing the words, the guards roughly repeated them, and then hurried away.
But just as the guard left, Suhesu still felt uneasy, and turned to the other guard again: “Transfer the words just now to Marshal Palisu…In case of hesitation, let him directly order to interfere.”
Another guard hurried away.
Suddenly joined the speed and then continued to urge the horses, and continued to follow the large group to the west.
“Ten thousand households.” A Han army next to Meng’an couldn’t help but accompany his horse, and asked for a while. “Han Shizhong’s imperial left army has a total of 40,000 people, and 10,000 people cannot reach the battlefield after Wang Sheng. The fighting has been constant in the past few months, and there must be more losses. At this time, there are only two to three thousand people. Is it so important for the upstream? , Need four ten thousand households to stop together? On the contrary, it is the Li Yanxian and Wu Jie tribes in front of Shiqiao, who have distinct flags and strong soldiers and horses. You can see at a glance…I’m afraid this is the real main battlefield, right?”
“Where is this kind of warfare? It is the main battlefield!”
Of course, Su Hesu knew that this Han general who had only become a Meng’an in the Daming Mansion was essentially with a certain sense of insecurity before he kept spinning around him, but now, he has the responsibility to win over and appease these people, so He didn’t exclude taking advantage of the advancement to make an explanation, even a little louder. “The key is the order in which the war starts…”
“Ten thousand households, please advise.” Han’er interrupted without losing the opportunity.
“What can I advise?” Su Hesu sighed as he walked forward. “Our army plus 130,000 to 440,000 newly arrived reinforcements, and the Song army plus 178,000 newly arrived reinforcements. There are too many troops, and no one can properly command them, let alone swarm them. That is a self-destructive system. To find a dead end, you have to pay attention to the division of the battlefield, and the wave and order of the march… Although the Han Shizhong Department has only two to three thousand people, all of them are elite troops that have not defeated the battle and are well-established. Han Shizhong I am even more of a famous player in the world, and it is suitable to set foot in the first place…”
“And once they cross the river, those Khitans, Dangxiang people, and Mongolians, with a total of 40,000 Qingqi, can easily come over under the cover of Han Shizhong…”
“And once the 40,000 Qingqi surges in, it is actually not enough to kill, but it is enough to harass and deter and divide the battlefield across the board. At that time, we will not be able to stop the main force of Li Yanxian’s army from crossing the river to fight for the high ground with us. .”
“And if Han Shizhong and those Qingqis can’t succeed, although Li Yanxian still has to lead the main force to cross the river before noon, he will inevitably be pushed down from the high ground by the main force of our army when crossing the river, causing heavy casualties… this is the chance of victory… and these Things are layered on top of each other.”
The Han army immediately nodded slightly, but he was obviously still a little confused. He obviously wanted to ask something, but he didn’t dare to ask after all. And soon, he didn’t need to ask anymore, because while he was on the left side of Suhesu, while maintaining a humble posture, he suddenly noticed the movement of the opposite river and slightly raised his hand to signal.
Suddenly he turned his head back in surprise, his face changed immediately… It turned out that the thing he worried most still appeared.
I don’t know whether it was unable to withstand the pressure of the dense army of Song Army on the other side of the river standing on the river, or that Wanyan Benjian on the high ground directly made a misjudgment and passed a military order. In short, the East Route Army on the west side of the highland, facing the river, did not leave the enemy in front of them as originally planned. Instead, they swiftly joined them to the west. Instead, they sent a large number of troops to press against the river.
In this case, even if this tens of thousands of households received support or military orders, they quickly turned and marched westward, but the front on their own side would inevitably be affected…especially his headquarters, the flanks would be exposed.
The only thing is done, and even though the leader of the ten thousand households, Bu San Bei Lu, is a recognized trash, he is also the brother-in-law of Taizu A Gu Da, and the Pu San Bu itself is the majority of Jurchen, and he can’t interfere at all, so Su He Su After watching for a while, he still turned his head and headed west with the main unit.
However, the matter was not over yet, it was only two or three miles away. The so-called moment of effort, in the drizzle, had just lost the vision around the high ground behind, and suddenly there was a call to kill from the front.
Suddenly and the accompanying officer hurriedly boarded a slightly protruding field ridge, only to take a look, and then half astonished, half astonished.
It turned out that they were directly in front of them with a familiar banner and a familiar army, and they came to face each other and directly launched an attack on the Jin Army, but it was the commander of the Imperial Left Army, Hu Yantong.
Obviously, after the Huyantong Department crossed the river, it did not build a line of defense to gain a foothold as the Jin Jun imagined, and then cover the brigade to cross the river, and then the left army of the brigade imperial battalion stood up and continued to cover Qingqi crossing the river… Huyantong The fact that the ministry can appear here to fight at this time can only explain one thing, that is, Hu Yantong must have taken the lead in crossing the river as a pioneer of Han Shizhong’s ministry, and he directly crossed the river from a dangerous position very downstream from the main battlefield, and he has just just crossed the river. As soon as he crossed the river, he would not stop for a while, attacking directly in the direction of the so-called main battlefield.
This kind of desire to attack is staggering, and from the screen effect, this kind of offensive defense does not seem to be worse than a stable formation.
The originally planned riverside suppression battle quickly turned into a face-to-face encounter. Suddenly and furiously, he reported the military situation to the other two 10,000 households and asked them to prepare to respond to the enemy. On the other hand, he immediately ordered the whole army to be deployed on the spot, with the infantry in the center and the cavalry on both sides, in a standard and simple manner. The Array of Crane Wings confronted and advanced.
This simple and unsophisticated formation is nothing but the famous kidnapper.
That’s right, the kidnapper horse is the same tactical name as Wu Yon’s garrison arrow, not a description of the type of unit…Tiefutu is the term used to describe the heavy cavalry.
As for the so-called kidnapper horse, specifically, it is the two-winged iron cavalry that shields the middle infantry, cooperates with the infantry, and advances step by step, launching short-range assaults or short-range outflank tactics, which is a typical wave-like riding and step-coordination tactics.
This kind of tactics, to be honest, is not as magical as imagined. The magic is always human resilience and courage. These things, coupled with strict military discipline, excellent armor and weapons, adequate supplies, and fair rewards and punishments, are enough to make anyone Tactics have become magical.
In the early days of Jurchen’s founding, there was no shortage of those good qualities, so no matter how mediocre tactics, no matter how common administrative and military systems are, they will all be myths.
“Although Wang Wei was angry, he didn’t mean to kill you. Obviously he recognized the words of Qualcomm and I, and prepared to let you go back if necessary, and use you to… When fighting together upstream, the Jinjun Dazhai was leaning toward the Hutuo River camp, but it seemed noisy and calm. In one of these camps, Hong Ya was sincerely communicating with Yu Yunwen.
“In other words, the so-called King Wei and the Fourth Prince, the commander of the first army, have no confidence in this battle?” Yu Yunwen asked with red eyes, almost smiling on the couch.
“Who has the confidence?” Hong Ya was not angry at all, but stood there with his sleeves caged for a moment. “Who has the confidence of the Song Army? It is good for the Song Army to have superior strength, but the Jin Army is defending across the river, and has the advantage of the flat cavalry brigade, a kidnapping horse, and more than a hundred rounds without breaking. Is it fake? At this time, no one has the confidence, and the officials on the other side are afraid they are not.”
The two sides fell silent immediately.
But soon, Yu Yunwen asked calmly: “How many soldiers does the Jin Army have? Everyone says that the Jin Army has 13 to 45 million, but is it 130,000 or 140,000, or 150,000? ”
Hong Ya shook his head and smiled bitterly: “Isn’t it too late to ask about this? There’s a tumult outside. I just asked myself, Wang De Wang Yasha Pioneer crossed the bridge, and the war has officially started at this time.”
“Since the war has already started, it’s okay to say it?” Yu Yunwen stared at the opponent, unable to question.
“It’s not that I can’t tell, but I really don’t know.” Hong Ya shook his head and smiled bitterly. . “Yu Tanhua, to tell you the truth, you may not know how many soldiers the Golden Army has in the end. The battle was too hasty, there was no supplement, no reorganization, and all the ministries were depleted. There were several battles in the famous mansion. There was also a large-scale cavalry battle in Lund House…”
Yu Yunwen didn’t say a word, just staring at the opponent.
“If you ask how many ten thousand households there are? Anyone can tell you that there are sixteen ten thousand households.” Hong Ya was stared helplessly and could only continue to be honest. “But there are hundreds of thousands of cavalry families who came here as reinforcements, and there are also 10,000 families who have been maimed like Yelvmawu, and there are also 10,000 families from the Bohai native Pu Suyue who are simply That’s enough. At this time, when you are connecting on the Hutuo River, you can’t even go on the battlefield! The combat power is also very different, like the whole cavalry, half of them are Yanyun Han people, half of them are outside the Great Wall, and they are all unsuccessful. The new army who has passed the battlefield, do you think it is good or not good? But the four He Zha Mengan from Yanyun, the commander-in-chief of Uncle Wanyan, who is the vice-general of Wanyan Loushi, who used to stay in Wanyan in Datong There are only four Meng’an sons of Xi’s mother. Who can despise it? Even if you don’t talk about these, just talk about the tens of thousands of families who have worked with thousands of soldiers. What about it? Isn’t it a huge difference? The two tens of thousands of households in Palisu and Bensi are the same thing as the two tens of thousands of households in Datong? It will be clear on the battlefield.”
Yunwen finally sneered: “So, the fighting strength of the Golden Army is uneven. One hundred sixty thousand households are actually 13 or four thousand households?”
“Probably it is about 130,000 to 40 thousand soldiers.” After sighing, Hong Ya suddenly asked. “It’s said that official Zhao’s family has seventeen, eighty-nine thousand soldiers this time, so dare you to ask Yu Tanhua, is the imperial battalion 170,000 or 180,000, or 190,000 soldiers?”
“There are two hundred thousand!” Yu Yunwen calmly answered. “Qu Dutong brought more than 20,000 yuan.”
Hong Ya shook his head repeatedly, too lazy to argue.
The two fell silent again in the tent.
But soon, Yu Yunwen suddenly asked: “How many new Yanjing troops are there, and the front is so urgent? Why don’t they come together? Is it too late?”
Hong Ya squinted his eyes, and just about to speak, suddenly, he went out of the account.
The Privy Council of Jin Guo was shocked by the decree, and quickly dropped Yu Yunwen and went out to investigate, but he heard the news that “King Han crossed the river from the upper reaches, attacking in a big way.”
The king of Han is of course not Wu Yeon, but Han Shizhong, and only Han Shizhong, who can cause this level of sensation on the remaining auxiliary soldiers and signing of the Jin Army.
Obviously, after the battle between Huyantong and Palisu, the remaining parts of the Imperial Left Army did not hesitate after crossing the river and chose to advance directly. By this time, full-line engagement with the left-wing heavy forces group of the Jin Army must have erupted. At least Han Shizhong’s own big 纛 has appeared on the front, otherwise this level of shock will never be triggered.
“Is that sudden speed?”
Above the plains full of green saplings, and under the unparalleled big buns in the world, the tall Han Shizhong did not wear a visor, and directly stationed in the drizzle of the rain, and then stretched out the man with leather gloves. One hand, pointing to the face-to-face Jin Jun.
“Yes.”
Wang Shixiong, as a pro-school, naturally responds.
“No wonder Huyan Nagu directly smashed it up.” Han Shizhong snorted. “But I heard people say that although the speed of the sudden rush is lame, it is also a lot safer… How to set up a kidnapper, but want to pull the headquarters like this? Seven or eight thousand people spread four miles?”
Wang Shixiong was silent immediately.
“It should be that the rear troops have not arrived, it must be the case.” Xie Yuan, who turned around more than once, suddenly appeared not far away. “Shaoqi said, the two ten thousand households in the south side, plus one together, can only spread four or five miles.”
“This is the fighter.” Han Shizhong laughed again. “I already said that Wang Yacha is a good guy. This must be his assault on the stone bridge and additionally grabbed a million households who were going to go here…this is a fighter!”
At the end of the speech, the smile has turned into a sneer. As soon as the conversation stopped, the King Qin directly put on the bronze visor.
Below the solution element, everyone puts on the top armor together, and then everyone is silent, waiting for the military order.
“Nothing to say!” Han Shizhong pointed. “The Beiwei Army came with me, riding on the horse, rushing forward and ruining his corner of the kidnapper. The rest of the army was handed over to Xie Yuan, but there was only one special request, that is, to send troops to withstand this side. The broken wings prevent him from stretching out!”
“Here.” Jie Yuan answered calmly behind the copper face.
“That’s right.” Just after Han Shizhong reined his horse to start two steps, he suddenly turned around and urged. “The Mongolian Qingqi will cross, but I can’t believe them… Let them go to the far south and let Li Shifu’s party Qingqi support me!”
“Five brothers don’t worry.” Xie Yuan is still calm.
A moment later, just after crossing the river, the imperial left army Beiwei army, which had not yet assembled fully, launched a surprise attack along the river. The target was the right-wing kidnapper horse that Su Hesu extended too much in order to control the front.
As the saying goes, the people on the bridge looked at the scenery, but they didn’t know that they were other people’s scenery. Just as Han Shizhong was staring at Su He Su’s formation and quickly established his tactics, Su He Su naturally also noticed that side.
Moreover, from the first moment, he was a little panicked.
No one, superstition, or record, no one can ignore the’unparalleled in the world’ side, and no one can ignore Han Shizhong’s imperial Zuo army and his back army… After the defeat of Qiaoshan, suddenly he reunite. I don’t think he is stronger than anyone else… but the question is, what else can he do?
It’s raining, his flanks open, and he faces a Huyantong whose strength is far less than his own. What reason does he not spread out the formation just in case?
But, Han Shizhong came so fast and acted so decisively, what can he do? Isn’t it time to close the flanks again? Expose the space and let Han Shizhong pass directly?
In the final analysis, it was only after a sudden rush to realize that from Wang De to Hu Yantong, and then to Han Shizhong…this battle, the Song army was aggressive, and its momentum seemed to be won!
“Ten thousand households.” Just when Han Shizhong’s Dazhen began to speed up slowly, the Han army leaned in panting heavily. “How to do?”
“Song Jun crossed the river too fast, and now it’s impossible to count on pushing forward. I will go to the riding-step junction on the right, and you go to the riding-step junction on the left.” Suddenly returned to his senses, trying to calm down. “Each one’s own duties, keep the position first…”
“Can this stop King Han from breaking through our right-wing kidnappers?” The Han army was still completely uneasy.
“The right wing originally wiped Pusanbei Lu Nasi’s ass…” Su Hesu only felt that his feet were itchy. “Since he stopped Han Shizhong from behind, let’s hold our position and not retreat, so we are worthy of everyone!”
The Han army Meng’an was speechless, and just hurried to the left wing where he rode and stepped.
After a while, Su He speed had just arrived at the right-wing riding and step junction, and he saw that Dazhen led thousands of bronze-faced iron knights from the far right of him, almost directly facing the river, charging directly.
Compared to the corner of the kidnappers on the flank, this iron cavalry is obviously more in number, more armored, more morale, and more powerful.
The two armies intersected, and the speed of the sudden combination almost forced oneself to look at the battle area in Linhe.
But there is no suspense. The big sword on that side is like a sharp knife as always, tearing through the people in front of you, and directly breaking through the past… You can only say that as an enemy, you should never doubt Han Shizhong.
Of course, this kind of emotion that was almost evasive disappeared immediately, because another imperial left army’s subordinate troops immediately rushed in, almost following the Beiwei army to his right wing, and Hu Yantong was like a ghost. The scattered things are normal, directly following his flag deflection and turning here.
This made Tu He quickly realized that it was time for the so-called each to perform their duties.
However, let’s not mention for the time being that Han Shizhong succeeded in crossing the river in large numbers because of Wang De’s cover from the air, and launched a full-line attack. Only at the stone bridge, Wang De has fallen into a thorough battle.
This is no way. Wang De only led four thousand lone troops to cross the river. Although he was the first to win, once he crossed the river and lost support, he naturally became weak. At the same time, the face-to-face Jin army can get a steady stream of support.
Even without those support, the Ali Division itself has more than 8,000 infantry soldiers, twice that of Wang De’s.
Looking from a distance through the slightly denser drizzle, Wang De’s banners are still moving, but they are obviously slower and slower. The indomitable momentum at the beginning is also due to the suppression of troops. It’s getting harder to show.
“Wang Zihua (word of Wang De), national general, must not be taken lightly.” On the side of Dazhai in Huolu City, beside the dragon, on a man-made’lookout’ hurriedly piled up with debris, wood and soil, it was supported by someone. Lu Yihao turned his head and said to the official Zhao’s family sitting behind him, ignoring that it was him who had severely declared in the military meeting that no one should expect reinforcements, any army could be wiped out. “If possible, officials should try their best to save them.”
On the narrow and messy man-made observation deck, there are a few solitary cases. On the case are the pot Lanqiao Fengyue and the lonely cup. There is half a cup left, but I don’t know whether it is rain or wine. It has been replaced with armor. Zhao Jiu was sitting cross-legged after a few cases, frowning at this moment.
Of course he also wanted to save Wang De to prevent morale damage, but the question is, what to save?
It is impossible to send troops in advance before the 60,000 units upstream and launch an attack. This will directly disrupt the advance plan of the main force in person, and the strict requirements of the previous military discussions will also become a joke.
But if the war is allowed to go on like this, perhaps Wang Debu’s subordinates can wait until the scheduled march according to the original plan… After all, on this heavily armored battlefield, as long as it does not fall into collapse and chaos, it will be difficult to mass layoffs… And it is enough to rely on the initial advancement in exchange for a loss of enemy troops. But in this way, the three of Wang De and his son are very dangerous, because it is obvious from the movement of the flag that the three of them have been rushing back and forth on the front line.
In this case, once they get tired and careless, they will kill themselves and become benevolence when they are regarded as the primary target of the Jin army.
And this is also the fundamental reason why the first ascendants and the trapped soldiers have been respected in the army since ancient times-the bravery of the first ascendants is indeed proud, but behind it is the **** huge risk of death.
In the midst of difficulties, Zhao Jiu could only turn to Liu Yan, who was standing beside him, and asked for a moment: “Ping Fu, can Li Yanxian gather some crossbowmen to suppress it across the river and draw a safe zone?”
The latter hesitated, and shook his head: “So that the officials will know that rain is getting denser and denser, and the biggest impact of rain on crossbows is to make the bowstrings softened by moisture. Once the bowstrings become soft, the range will be greatly reduced. , Throwing the crossbow across the river like this will expose the crossbow machine, and I am afraid that the three arrows will get wet. It will not be enough to cover our army by then. On the contrary, it will be easy to accidentally be injured because the range is shortened and the accuracy is no longer.”
“Send some elites to support from Stone Bridge?” Fan Zongyin, the chief bachelor on the side, suddenly interrupted.
“Too little is not enough to suppress the Golden Army, and it doesn’t make much sense; too many words are likely to attract the main force of the Golden Army on the high ground, self-defeating.” Liu Yan calmly answered.
Zhao Jiu was finally silent, and Lu Yihao also said nothing.
“Officials…” At this moment, Mei Li who stood by the side suddenly spoke. “Can you use the Poxi Army to try? The small ballista used by the Poxi Army can be operated under the tarpaulin wooden frame. It has a longer range than a crossbow, and the stone of the fist is large enough to damage heavy armor and suppress the golden army.”
Zhao Jiu immediately stared at Liu Yan again.
Liu Yan thought for a moment, and immediately nodded: “You can give it a try, and the camels of the Poxi Army have a high level. There is no need to suppress them across the river. You can cross the river from the stone bridge to the opposing army to provide support!”
Zhao Jiu did not hesitate, and quickly nodded: “Let Wei Mingyun play!”
In other words, Wei Ming Yun has been following Yujia since the beginning of the Northern Expedition, and made some contributions during the attack on Queshugu, but its special structure, that is, the design of a camel and a small torsion crossbow, is difficult to get through. Quick replenishment, so although the troops did not suffer defeat, they also fell from 500 horses/person at the time of departure to less than 300 horses/person. At this time, they were ordered to cross the river to fight, which was also a moment of suspicion.
But after the military order was issued, there was no room for thinking, and the man immediately led more than two hundred camel torsion crossbows to the stone bridge. At the same time, more than a hundred mules, horses and livestock were driven by the party’s auxiliary soldiers, carrying fists and big stones that were polished and used as ammunition.
About two quarters later, the Poxi Army, who was invented to deal with the heavy armored pawns of the Song Army, crossed the river with the powerful mobility of camels, and immediately had a miraculous effect.
Fisting stones are like rain, and the densely arranged Golden Army armor can not lift their heads regardless of their steps.
The pressure on Wang De’s department was greatly reduced in an instant, and Wang De and his son at the front seemed to be able to take a breather.
Such a miraculous effect, that Brother Wei Mingyun did not expect. You must know that this kind of partial and difficult-to-replenish unit has long been repelled, if it were not because he wrote last year that the Poxi Army can fire gunpowder bags. , Has long been disbanded.
Wang De panted for a while, the Ali team was frustrated for a while, and the Xiaopo battlefield in front of the stone bridge had a tendency to reverse for a while.
But on the high ground, Wanyan, who was holding four million households in his hand, ran without saying a word, and didn’t even look at the battlefield right in front of the high ground. At the same time, in the camp behind the high ground, his whole body was wet but just looking at it. Of course, there was no response from the five-color holding the Japanese flag on the top of his head.
Pulling away from the side of Sushou, there is a wooden observation deck. Regardless of his identity, Wei Wangwu is currently climbing the observation deck to observe the situation, but he is not looking at the front of the highland, but toward the west of the highland, the so-called upper reaches of the Taiping River. The boundary of the earth struggled to look out… I didn’t even care about anything in the rain.
The reason for this is very simple. The front guards reported one after another. First, Han Shizhong’s Beiwei Army broke through the corner of the kidnappers in Linhe, and officially fought with the Wanhu of Busanbeilu, and then an astonishing number of Qingqis crossed the river and rushed up. .
At this time, the upper reaches of the Taiping River on the west side of the highland is the real battlefield. The fighting forces on the two sides have probably reached seven or eight, and the scale of the battle is still approaching unlimitedly… In this case, Who cares about the frontal Xiaopo battlefield, especially at this time, it seems that Wang Debu’s raid is more like a cover for Han Shizhong.
Turning to the upper reaches, on the battlefield that has already been fighting across the board, Huer Zahusihan with the golden crown led some of the West Mongolian tribes to cross the river first. He wanted to march directly along the river and followed Han Shizhong’s tribe to march, but he got the command of the Qin king who understood the Yuan Dynasty. , Asked them to go around behind the Song Army, prepare to attack from the rear of the high ground, try to insert the gap between the southernmost end of the Golden Army front and the camp, and then complete the encirclement of the high ground from the depression behind the high ground.
Of course, what to encircle is to look at the more than 10,000 Mongolian Qingqis, and in essence they still want them to play a deterrent and harassment role.
In fact, after bypassing the Song army, Zahusi suddenly discovered that there was already a golden army cavalry set up here, still in the middle of the infantry, and the typical tactics of’carnage horse’ with two wings. The trench outside the camp in the south has been successfully connected, and the road has been blocked.
Seeing this situation, I knew that the powerful Huer Zahusi took a deep breath, but thinking of the promise of the Zhao Song official’s trophy this morning, he still gritted his teeth and turned around and shouted in prairie language to encourage:
“My answers! My eagle-dog warriors! The promise of the Chinese emperor has been stated very clearly! This is a fair reward! Now it is time for us to exchange our courage for our promise!”
“Don’t be afraid of the enemy, and don’t be afraid of this rain. I know that the rain will soon soften our bowstrings and wet our arrow feathers! But as long as you listen to my Huer Zahusi’s command, where do I point? , Shoot the arrow wherever it goes, and stop for a moment. Before the arrow feathers are wet, before the bowstring is softened, shoot all the two barrels of arrows out, and the Jurchen will run away like a rabbit. The victory is ours!”
“Now, take all the bows in your hands, put the arrows on the bows, and follow me!”
After saying that, Huer Zahusi, who was wearing heavy armor and a golden crown, turned his horse’s head and took the lead. He bent his bow and struck an arrow towards the position of the Golden Army. Dozens of Kleed nobles with heavy armor and full Han standard followed closely. After that, they caught up with their bows and fired bows and arrows at the Jurchen Army Formation.
Seeing King Khan taking the lead, the morale of the West Mongol army was greatly boosted. They immediately followed the order and followed suit. They deployed their formation with typical light cavalry tactics, and then attempted to harass the golden army with bows and arrows on the vast ground… For a while, this The arrow of the Western Mongol king was like rain, and the rain continued to fall.
However, he shot two arrows personally. He just swung the big bow in front of the battle. The morale-boosting Huer Zahu Si Khan fell silent and fell straight from the horse, and could not get up again.
The masses of the West Mongolian tribe were unclear for a while, so they were in chaos, and the morale that had just been boosted even fell into the valley.
Just seven or eight steps away from behind his father, Tuoli was also dumbfounded. To tell the truth, he was ready to hand over his father to the official Zhao family after the war, but this time it was really not him.
In fact, in full view, it is impossible for him.
Several Anda of Huerzhahusihan and several heads of small tribes in West Mongolia got off their horses together, and hugged Huerzhahusihan, who had lost his breath, from the ground. At this time, Tuoli hurriedly dismounted to take a look. Wearing the mask and realizing what happened…it was not a conspiracy, it was not a conspiracy, it was an accident. A traditional Mongolian feather arrow hit the neck of King Khan who was wearing a crown and not wearing a helmet.
The side of the arrow has been wet by rain and the feathers are scattered. In this case, no one can control the arrow’s direction.
This is a common accidental injury on the battlefield, but this time it was the dignified King of West Mongol Khan who was accidentally injured and died, and he died suddenly when the battle was about to become more intense and comprehensive.
Standing behind his own father in a Zhajia suit, he was stunned, panicked to the extreme for a while, and the troops behind him were scattered for a while… You know, the West Mongolian army has just started the battle, and even the troops behind him have not been assembled properly. The Jin Army, who had been nervous because of the arrival of a large number of Mongolian cavalry troops, seemed to have realized what had happened, and a small number of cavalry began to come out more and more to try to investigate.
At this critical juncture, the ghosts and gods were so bad that Tuoli, who was being watched by the surrounding Kled nobles, actually focused his eyes on the crown on his father’s head… That little thing just killed a Khan King, but There seems to be something magical…Tori almost immediately wanted to take off his helmet and put on this thing.
However, as the rain seeped into the face from the pocket, after seeing Zhao Guan’s side a lot of freedom, he quickly recovered, and then realized in a trance that at this place and under this situation, the crown did not It doesn’t count if you wear it yourself—it counts only when Zhao Guanjia, the core noble warriors of the Klein tribe beside him, and the people behind him all agree to count.
He had to do something to prove to the official who was manipulating the universe on the other side of the river, to the nobles and tribes of the Klein tribe in front and behind him, and to the scattered tribes of West Mongolia that had not yet gathered on the battlefield. Put on this crown.
This is an unprecedented danger, but it is also an opportunity.
The next moment, under the attention of the key figures in the surrounding Keleb, the eldest son of Kuer Zahusi suddenly moved forward, and then regardless, he took the crown from his father, but turned on his horse again and cut it off with a dagger. He cut his bowstring and tied his father’s crown to his spear with the bowstring.
A slightly younger Kled nobleman realized something and quickly broke the arrow on Huerzahusi’s neck. Then the rest of the nobles also reacted and immediately carried the body of Huerzahusi Khan on a war horse. , And then just drove the horse back to the rear of the army for a while, and then turned back to himself.
“Jurchen killed my father!”
Tuoli took the lead, holding his spear and galloping back towards the obviously shaken West Mongolian army, shouting vigorously. Behind him was the war horse carrying his father’s corpse and dozens of Kleed nobles, and the eye-catching crown was there. In the drizzle, it swayed so much that it struck the spears. The sound seemed to be no different from the bells under the horse’s neck when he was riding red-heartedly.
“Jurchen killed my father, your King of Khan!”
Surrounded by dozens of Kreed nobles, Zhajia Tuli held a spear in front of the West Mongol army and kept coming and going with his father’s corpse, roaring in the ancient language on the Mongolian plateau. “Do you remember my father’s favor? Do you remember the oath to my father? Do you remember the military order my father just issued?”
“Now, I still want to think that I am a Mongolian, and come with me! I still promise you what my father promised, but you will fight for me and my father Khan, and for me and mine. Revenge of Father Khan! To fulfill the military order just now, to pour your arrows clean on Jurchen’s head, and to prove our glory for me and my father Khan in front of Emperor Song Dynasty! Otherwise, Changshengtian is not I will forgive you!”
After saying this, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com turned the horse’s head again, then raised the spear high, shook the crown, and pointed at the golden army.
The surrounding tribes, starting from the nobles of the Kleb tribe, suddenly burst, and then the whole army formation, as before, threw arrows at the golden army! And it’s faster and more intense than before.
There are even many armored nobles directly trying to lead the crowd into the battle.
Notice that rain, snow, frost, fog, springs, streams, and ditches are all different, but once they converge in a river and then rush, it is no longer possible to distinguish the source of each drop of water.
