Chapter 19: Stalemate

"Great official, do we want to go up and help the loyal and righteous army?"

Chong Yan looked at his subordinates who were about to move, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

"When you see how happy people are killing, do you think you are invincible?"

He pointed to the battlefield in front of him and said in a deep voice: "The Loyal and Righteous Army has strict military discipline, soldiers die lightly, and they are also sharp in firearms, so they are invincible with their talents. You see that on this battlefield, the soldiers of the Loyal and Righteous Army also suffered heavy casualties, but no one flinched, which is scary. ”

Everyone looked at the battlefield, although the loyal army took the lead, but there were also soldiers who continued to fall, and the scene was very fierce.

"We, the rabble, don't have firearms in our hands, if we go up, whether we will help or help, and if we can't get it, we will have to come to the rescue when the time comes. It's better to watch the battle honestly and prevent thieves from sneaking up. ”

Everyone sighed, and then shook their heads, pointed, and commented on the distant battle.

He looked around for a moment, puzzled in his heart. After the fierce battle until now, he has not seen Wang Song's shadow.

Could it be that in such a big battle related to the fortunes of the country, Wang Song, the commander of the first army, would not come in person?

On the field, more than 100,000 people fought just to get rid of the other party's life and make the other party lose the ability to resist. One side in order to protect the homeland, resist aggression, and make civilization continue. On the other hand, they burned, killed, looted, and killed excessively, in order to satisfy their own selfish desires and those of their tribes.

The two sides fought to the death, sacrificing their lives, the daylight was bleak, and they quietly hid behind the clouds, as if they couldn't bear to look directly at this bloody scene in the world.

Heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are used as dogs.

The only thing that controls one's own destiny is the sword and gun in one's hand.

"30,000 people died in this battle!"

It wasn't until now that Yue Fei understood what Wang Song said. There has never been a principle of winning or losing in war, and winning or losing every step in a war is based on the desperate struggle of the soldiers.

Compared with the massacre of the Song soldiers by the Jin people in the morning, now the two armies are fighting on a par, the Jurchen soldiers are fierce, the loyal and righteous army is disciplined and well-trained, and both armies are elite divisions, and then they fell into a bitter battle.

Yue Fei wanted to go into battle and fight in person, but now that he was the commander of the first army, he naturally couldn't easily get into danger.

The bitter battle between the two armies made his brow furrow. Seeing one Song warrior after another fall in a pool of blood, his heart twitched and tingled again and again.

Those warriors who are brave and do not care about life and death, are they just for money, are they just for Wang Song, and just for the family after their death?

Under the rule of the Great Song Dynasty, how many brave soldiers were there who followed one after another?

At this time, he suddenly understood that the Great Song Dynasty, which he originally regarded as a guide, was not a fart in the hearts of these warriors.

The cavalry of the two sides had already rushed each other seven or eight times, the Song soldiers were in full swing, and the Jin soldiers were the cavalrymen who were outnumbered, stoic and long-lasting, and the two sides fought equally. More than two hours passed, and the loyal army lost five or six thousand cavalry, while the Jin people lost tens of thousands.

Together with the 2,000 heavily armored cavalry lost by the Jin, the loss of the Jurchen cavalry was already around 15,000 people. The loyal and righteous army rampaged from the east, and under the indiscriminate bombardment of artillery, the 10,000 iron cavalry stationed in the east of the Jurchen army suffered heavy casualties, and there was not much left.

As for the foot soldiers, the Jin people lost even more, far exceeding 20,000 people. If you add in the more than 10,000 people lost by the Song army in the past few days, the Jin infantry has already killed and injured more than 30,000 people.

When night falls, the torches rise, and the fire shines on the wilderness, and the heavens and the earth are like day.

Li Shifu and Liu Qi, as the commanders of the front army of the left and right wing armies, galloped across the ten thousand armies, and everywhere they went, the Jurchen warriors were stabbed off their horses one by one. Kill to the heart, two people knife

Splitting sticks and smashing them, covered in blood, is like killing a god.

The Jin soldiers retreated slightly, and the two looked around, only to see two Song generals, with their subordinate cavalry and Jurchen knights, chiseling hard in the galloping of ten thousand horses. The spears of the two Song generals flew and stabbed each other, and the Jurchen cavalry in front of them was almost invincible.

Both of them couldn't help but secretly praise, they couldn't imagine that there were so many heroes in this loyal army! These two people alone are already one in a thousand majestic people.

The troops of these two people were all heavily armored cavalry, and they went on a rampage, all by the huge impact of the heavy cavalry. Everywhere they went, the Jurchen cavalry was knocked off their horses one after another, and when they trampled on iron hooves, their muscles and bones were broken, and they were paralyzed into flesh.

Handan, Hebei, the land of iron smelting, the steel armor worn by the soldiers, compared with the "Iron Floating Tu" of the Jin people and the "Iron Harrier" of the Xia people, the armor is thinner, the toughness is higher, and it is more conducive to actual combat.

"It seems that Wang Song, a thief, has been prepared for a long time!"

Wanyan Zonghan's eyes showed a fierce light. The heavy armored cavalry of their own side had just been destroyed, and the heavy armored cavalry of the loyal and righteous army had only appeared one after another at this time, and under the impact, the Jurchen light armored knights landed one after another. Wang Song's move was clearly designed for the characteristics of the Jurchen cavalry.

"This thief has ill intentions, and it is really my daughter's true confidant!"

Wanyan Lou's face was also solemn, and the battle situation in front of him reminded him of the Battle of Fuzhou. The difference is that until now, he has not seen Wang Song.

Wanyan Lou Room couldn't help but look towards the quiet west, as if Wang Song was leading thousands of troops and horses, just in the dark night, eyeing and waiting for an opportunity to move.

A trace of ominous thought floated in Wanyan Lou's heart.

"Quickly send someone to the west to inspect and see if there is any movement of the loyal army!"

Wan Yan Lou's heart was anxious, and he loudly urged the pale-faced sergeants around him.

Yang Zaixing slashed and slashed, stabbed and smashed, killing all sides in the Jurchen knights' array, blood burst out everywhere he went, and the screams were endless, the Jurchen warriors were thrown off their horses one by one, and the rest hurriedly avoided it.

Dong Xian saw that Yang Zaixing was unstoppable, and he also aroused the heart of the competition. Since Bianliang City went north and was "dispatched" by Wang Song to the command of Yue Fei, the loyal and righteous army of Hebei, he can be said to have held his stomach. Now that the beast is out of the cage, it is natural to indulge in some emotion.

Especially the cavalry commander on the left flank is still a "hundred people beheaded" like Yang Zaixing, which makes his blood gushing as a cavalry general on the right flank.

In the loyal army, Wang Song's force, he himself said second, and no one dared to say first. Yue Fei is good at marksmanship and riding and archery, and Wang Song has his own strengths. In addition to these two people, Dong Xian thinks that he is himself. Who knew that in today's battle array, there was another fierce man like Yang Zaixing.

However, if he knew that Zhang Xian and Yang Zaixing were indistinguishable, I am afraid he would be surprised again.

Yang Zaixing smashed with an iron spear, even the Jurchen divine power couldn't withstand his fierce charge. Several times, he was out of the battle formation, but fortunately his subordinates were also a group of battlefield warriors, and they quickly picked him up. With these elite men rushing in front, the Jurchen cavalry array was divided into small pieces again and again and annihilated. It is precisely because of the rampage of these people that although the number of cavalry of the loyal army is small, it is evenly matched with the Jurchen knights.

Speaking of which, the excellent armor and protective gear of the cavalry of the Loyal Army contributed a lot, and under the collision, they effectively protected the soldiers.

The night was confused, and under the light of the fire, the two armies fought hard, and no one dared to withdraw. The loyal army has many foot soldiers, and if it retreats in a hurry and is pursued by the Jurchen cavalry, it will be defeated.

The Jin soldiers were worried that once they broke away from the battle formation, the opponent's artillery would cause a large-scale massacre to their own side.

Wanyan Zonghan stayed on a high slope, looked at it for a long time, frowned, and said to Wanyan Zongbi next to him: "Wushu, these Song dogs are very tenacious, I'm afraid they won't collapse soon!" The soldiers have not eaten for a day, and when the time comes, we should withdraw our troops. Today's

The casualties are too great!"

Wan Yan Sali's eyes were slightly red, his face was pale, he looked at the fierce battle in front of him, and then looked at the wounded in the open space, shook his head and said: "Our army has broken tens of thousands of Jurchen warriors, and more than 20,000 foot soldiers. Now that it is a tiger, it is better to see the opportunity and withdraw quickly! ”

"Song Dog has also suffered a lot of casualties!"

Wanyan Zongbi said categorically: "Although our army has not eaten, it is stoic. I don't believe how long Song Gou can last!"

"The Loyal and Righteous Army is strictly disciplined, I'm afraid it won't quit easily!"

Wan Yan Lou's face was uncertain, he looked at the vast night, and his heart was faintly uneasy.

"Wang Song's guy hasn't appeared yet. The son must leave the battlefield to avoid being tricked by this guy. ”

Wang Song didn't appear for a long time, and Yan Lou's heart went up and down. The Jurchen rangers scattered a hundred miles westward, but still did not see any trace of Wang Song.

He has a deep memory of the first battle in Fuzhou, and the scene of the loyal and righteous army preferring to die rather than surrender still makes him feel cold. If the Song people were so bloody, where would there be a place for the Jurchen people to make a living?

The confrontation between the infantry of the loyal army and the Jurchen cavalry in the east was cruel and bloodthirsty. Xu Qing and Wang Gui held back their strength and wanted to regain their military exploits. Liang Xing, Li Jin, and Zhao Yun are new stars who want to show themselves and prove themselves. Yue Fei, Zhang Xian, and Li Yanxian commanded in the center, which was inspiring, and the two sides fought one after another and fell into a bitter battle.

"Command, after every time the cavalry hedges, when the Jurchen cavalry assembles, they are all in the same place. You can let the gunner adjust the gun and take the opportunity to bombard. ”

Huang Zong is worthy of Yue Fei's "former Zhang Liang", and keenly discovered the fleeting fighters on the battlefield.

Sure enough, with the addition of artillery and the combination of infantry, cavalry, and artillery, the casualties of the Jin soldiers began to intensify, and the casualties increased rapidly.

As time passed, hour by hour, and at every moment someone died or was wounded, and the healthy continued to fight again.

"Marshal, you must get out of the battlefield."

The uneasiness in Wan Yan Lou's heart became stronger and stronger. With the sacrificial attack of the Loyal Army, the casualties of the Jin people rose sharply. This battle is already defeated and unwon.

Moreover, in the vast darkness, it seems that a fierce beast lurks, eyeing the tiger and ready to launch a fatal blow at any time.

It's past the time of the sub. After several hours of fighting, the loyal and righteous army was scarred, and the Jurchen army was also killed and wounded. It can be said that the Jin people have repeatedly gone south, and this time they suffered the most losses.

"Sticky Han, Song Gou can't hold it anymore, just rush a few more times!"

Wanyan Zongbi said loudly, rode out, led the Jurchen knights, and once again rushed into the battle group, wanting to make persistent efforts to break through the defense line of the Song army.

In the loyal army, the officers and men are exhausted, and if it were not for the bullet pressure of the junior officers in the army, I am afraid that the recruits in the team would collapse first.

As the battle deepened, in the face of the casualties of the comrades around him, watching the Jin people rush up like hungry wolves again and again, many soldiers, especially recruits, slowly lost their confidence, and with it came the fear of death.

"What are you afraid of, if you want to die, Lao Tzu will die in front!"

"Want to retreat? A hundred miles away is Hedong, where your parents, wives and children are all there, can you retreat there?"

"Hold on for a while, Fanzi can't hold on anymore!"

"Straight lady thief, if anyone dares to escape, Lao Tzu will let him taste the taste of moving his head!"

The low-ranking officers' persuasion, fierce intimidation, and anger were all kinds of morale-boosting methods that varied from person to person, and they were indeed the panacea on the battlefield. The soldiers' hearts were calm, and they all plucked up their courage and threw themselves into the next fight.

Yue Fei, Zhang Xian and others saw that the situation was anxious, and the soldiers suffered heavy casualties, so they couldn't bear it anymore, and led the pro-army beside them to join the battle group.
