1112.Chapter 1112: Xia Yan's Abandonment
Gan Daochong deserves to be the minister of state. Immediately understood what he was going to do, and couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Yes, the Jurchens are afraid of the army of the Southern Dynasty, and they will definitely not fight to the death with me." If I want to attack the location of the Southern Dynasty, the Jurchens will inevitably watch from the wall, and even if we rush out, we will have to cross the Jurchens entrenched in the defense line, and we will definitely not be able to escape. ”
"What the minister said is that when the Southern Dynasty attacked the Jurchens, they would inevitably take advantage of the fire to rob and want a stone...... Oh, swallowed us in one bite. "I want to kill two birds with one stone, but the words stopped at the edge of my mouth, and I can't describe Li Renxiao as a bird! That's too much, isn't it.
"It's okay, as long as you can rush out, you can pay whatever the price." Li Renxiao blinked his bloodshot eyes, and said: "Order all departments to prepare, I will personally lead the team to attack, and I can only succeed and not fail." ”
"Your Majesty, choose to attack with elite cavalry, and you still need to leave suspicious soldiers." It is the best policy to hesitate and hesitate, go to the army to fight, and set up more suspicious soldiers.
"You come and see." Li Renxiao finally had a hard heart, from not being able to bear to abandon and follow, to even abandoning the guards and horses, it was indeed a successful transformation.
If it were a year or even half a year in the morning, maybe the situation would be different! I was full of emotion, and I didn't know what to say.
The moon receded, and the earth fell into the darkest hour before dawn, as if to indicate that something was about to happen.
The men who were on guard in the southern part of the hill took turns to rest, and they were all tired, and a young officer, stretching his waist, complained: "I have been fighting all day, and I have not rested for a moment, and even the stone man is tired and lies down." ”
The other person also had an ugly face and cried bitterly: "Aren't the Jurchens and the Nanren mortal enemies? They should have fought first. ”
"If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense, it's almost dawn, this time it should be fine, let's rest, I don't know what to do when the sky is dawn?"
"Don't talk to each other, hurry up if you want to rest." One of the prisoners scolded in a deep voice, saying: "Everyone should take turns to rest, before dawn is the most likely to be sleepy, they are very likely to touch it, don't lose your life for snooze." Oh, it's better to put up a shield when you sleep, but don't forget the strong crossbows of the Southern Dynasty. ”
The officials around couldn't help but shiver, thinking back to yesterday's battle, with fear on their faces.
The Jin army attacked in turn with the horse army, covering the foot soldiers to reach the bottom of the hill, and the Xia army was easy to deal with, after all, the horse army could only fight under the hill, and it was impossible to form a devastating blow to the Xia army, and those foot soldiers could block it with big guns and crossbows.
The Song army was different, they pulled up the chariot, and the overwhelming crossbow arrows covered it like a torrential rain, but the Xia army's partial crossbows could not reach the range, because of the need to march, the heavy crossbows were not carried, and they fell into a passive state of being beaten every time, and many people were killed by crossbow arrows.
They also tried to break through and counterattack, but who knew that as soon as they went out to fight, the Song army's chariots immediately retreated, and the horse army also spread out its wings, never engaging them head-on. Instead, he kept a distance of more than 100 paces, and used the advantages of the crossbow and the divine arm bow to attack them fiercely.
The poor Xia army officials, although most of the regular soldiers were horse troops, were restricted by the horse army on both wings of the Song army, and could not really deploy, so they could only forcibly counterattack head-on, and really committed the taboo of the soldiers, and suffered heavy losses under the crossbow arrows, and had to be defeated quickly.
When they retreated, the real nightmare had just begun, and the Song army's horse army and chariot soldiers on both flanks instantly interspersed ferociously from the battle avoidance position, contrary to the principle that the horse army tried not to engage in close quarters as much as possible, and cut off the retreat of the Xia army again and again.
The chariot was in a group of three carts, and it was also constantly breaking into the strangulation, like peeling fruit, intercepting and killing the Xia army's horse team layer by layer, and even the burden soldiers who came out to meet were also killed by the chariot in a burst, killing all of them, which was a painful memory.
Throughout the afternoon, the Xia army was in a state of panic, and the Song army continued to send chariots, and from time to time there were a burst of attacks, which made the Xia army officials miserable, and no one dared to fight again.
"My lord, can we rush out?"
"Okay, as long as the good students stick to it, His Majesty and the Prime Minister will always find a way." The prisoner was inspiring, but he had no confidence in his heart.
"What a taste, oh, is a meal......
The star-studded bonfire goes out just as dawn approaches, and the smell of food wafts into it, from rice porridge to pancakes and pickles.
Although the smell of barbecue wafted from last night, Xia Jun was nervous at that time, and he could be regarded as having eaten a few mouthfuls of dry food, which was not too envious.
I was hungry all night, and the high-intensity combat had just relaxed, and my stomach was already screaming like a drum, and I couldn't bury the pot to cook, and when I smelled the tempting aroma of rice, it was devouring saliva, and my stomach was bulging violently, which was almost deadly.
"It smells so good! They were eating. "A soldier touched the bag of dry food, it was already empty, they could only carry three days of dry food, and then the official of the Du branch distributed the army's dry food, they had already eaten cleanly, and in the fierce battle, it was lucky to be able to run here.
More than 100,000 people have long been dispersed, the baggage troops have also been wiped out, and the baggage grain and grass have long been captured by the Song army.
????“ It seems to have the taste of stewed broth. ”
The Xia soldiers at the front line, all with green eyes glowing, as if they saw the appearance of the Song army eating in a big bowl, they couldn't help but salivate!
"It's been a day and a night, and I haven't even eaten at all." Someone muttered in his mouth and touched his shriveled belly.
"The Jurchens and the Southern Dynasty are mortal enemies, they will definitely have infighting, that is our chance, as long as we rush to eat." The prisoner's face changed, and he shouted loudly to cheer him up.
"If it was a big enemy, they should have fought a long time ago, why would they have pestered us."
"You, damn ......"
The superintendent's anger suddenly came up, and before he could speak, he heard a killing sound from the north, which seemed to be fighting, and he couldn't help but look up the hill, but saw that the yellow flag was still fluttering, and he breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
"What's the matter, is it possible that His Majesty is breaking through to the north?"
"Then we should be transferred over."
Before they could come to their senses, when the last rays of darkness before dawn had passed, the eastern sky was swept with a touch of brilliance, and the sky was about to dawn.
Accompanied by the unique sound of war drums of the Song army, those Xia army officials reflexively became alert, and they all cheered up and returned to their posts.
The front was already bright, accompanied by the sound of drums, but I saw several military formations in front of me crushing over in black, and everyone's faces changed greatly, it was a military formation.
Could it be that overnight, the Song army infantry arrived? The experienced General Xia Jun couldn't believe it, and he was deeply afraid, this was not a joke.
Although the day's battle seems to be tense, it is a surprise attack of the horse army and the chariot army, and it is impossible to last for a long time, and it is impossible to occupy the position for a long time, and the infantry army is different!
