Chapter 360: Encircling and suppressing Yan Zongqi

This expedition was the heaviest for Yue Fei, who had been educated to serve the country with loyalty since he was a child, but in the end he went in the opposite direction of the Song State. Now in order to rescue the Son of Heaven of the Song Kingdom, he said something rebellious at the military meeting, which is a heinous crime against the dragon scales and a heinous crime.

The emperor of the Han Dynasty didn't say anything, but the civil officials, once they returned to the imperial capital, the group of civil officials would definitely be impeached. Yue Fei knew that no matter how much he explained at this time, it was useless, and if he wanted to change all this, he could only rely on this battle to redeem it. In any case, it is necessary to ensure that the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty leaves safely, and Yan Zongqi must be hunted and killed.

This battle is different for everyone, becoming a king or defeating a villain, Yue Fei knows that this is his own redemption battle, of course, it can be regarded as the last time to the Great Song Dynasty to 'serve the country with loyalty', this time he can be regarded as holding back his strength.

Liangma River, this time, Yue Fei lined up the 50,000 infantry, this is the only way to complete Yan Zongqi, 30,000 cavalry has an advantage over 50,000 infantry, so the Jin army will definitely not bypass, but will meet it head-on.

The Liangma River is very long, but the only one that is really suitable for crossing the river is this Fenglingdu, and the terrain here is flat, for the cavalry, after the impact is up, it can easily crush the infantry. But there is a fatal flaw here, that is, the terrain is narrow, for the cavalry, if the frontal force attack, the depth is too long, if the infantry is strong-willed and chooses to carry hard, it is difficult for the cavalry to defeat it in a short time.

Yue Fei chose such a deep and long place to ambush, he divided the 50,000 infantry into three parts, the front army of 10,000, led by the capital Niu Gao, this 10,000 army will block the impact of the Jin State Iron Cavalry with flesh and blood, there is no doubt that the pressure is huge.

Seventeen trenches were dug between the front army and the middle army, each of which was about three or four feet wide and seven or eight feet deep, and the platform between the two ditches was about two feet wide. Beneath the trench were soldiers with spears, which of course were death squads, and when the horses leaped overhead, the spears would pierce the horses in the abdomen. This move seems to be very lethal, but the soldiers below have no way to hide, and they are destined to be hunted by the Jin army, which is why it is said to be a death squad.

The trench is not very fast, the cavalry can jump over, the infantry can also jump over, the biggest difference is that when the cavalry jumps over, the horse's belly is completely defenseless, and the soldier is quite simple to assassinate.

Behind the seventeen trenches is the main force of the real decisive battle, and when the cavalry of the Jin State arrives here, it has basically been revitalized and disrupted, and it is difficult to organize a large-scale forced impact, basically the cavalry fights alone, in this case, Yue Fei made a targeted deployment, unlike in the past, he put down the formation and waited for the cavalry to attack, this time the Chinese army of 20,000 people, 10,000 lined up to block the enemy, and 10,000 formed a group to fight alone.

Fighting alone in groups is very simple, each team is five soldiers, two spearmen, use spears to duel to block the cavalry's charge, two axemen as long as they attack from the bottom plate, use knives and axes to cut the legs of horses. The last soldier in the back used a short crossbow to shoot the Jin cavalry at a long distance.

This batch of short crossbows was just developed, and the first time they were thrown into the battlefield, they were only fifty paces, and if they wanted to shoot through the armor, they had to be within thirty paces, which looked very inapplicable. However, it was convenient and simple to load crossbow arrows, and soldiers could operate them with one hand, and it was precisely because of this advantage that they were thrown into the battlefield.

This time, the middle route army was led by Dong Xian, he took his two younger brothers Dong Ping, Dong Ba wanted to fight a beautiful battle, this time the three brothers can be said to be brothers in battle, holding back their strength to prove that the three brothers can survive in the Han army.

The rear army was personally commanded by Yue Fei, and he hoped that the rear army would end the battle without going to the battlefield, but in fact, no matter how the 30,000 infantry in front of them were arranged, they could not stop the 30,000 cavalry.

Hua Rong on the left wing led the Han King to ride in battle, he did not lead the team on weekdays, after all, the main responsibility of the Han King Cavalry is to protect His Majesty's safety, the reason for this arrangement, it means that His Majesty's battle is to take down Yan Zongqi's head, no matter how many Jin cavalry are hunted, as long as Yan Zongqi is let go, it is a failure. This kind of defeat was a great shame for the Han Wangcai, and they were ready to give the Jin cavalry a bloody lesson.

Pang Wanchun led 10,000 cavalry on the right flank, he was originally under Fang La, although he later defected to the Han army, but the label of the general has not been lost, he knows that if he wants to make a contribution in the Han Dynasty, it is not enough to rely on his sister Pang Qiuxia to enter the palace, but also need to prove himself on the battlefield, there is no doubt that this battle is the best opportunity to become famous in a war, of course, it can be regarded as a real merit to be able to hunt Yan Zongqi.

Wanyan Zongqi led 30,000 cavalry to cover all the way, and saw the overwhelming Han army from a distance, he knew that this was a tough battle, if he wanted to successfully cross the Liangma River, he had to kill the past, in order to be able to catch up with Emperor Zhao of the Song Dynasty, if you want to bypass, you have to walk an extra day, and who can guarantee that there is no Han army on the next road?

Since there is a battle between horizontal and vertical, Wanyan Zongqi decided to break through, anyway, it was to fight against the Han army, this time he waved the mace in his hand and shouted: "Ha Chihu, you lead three thousand soldiers and horses to kill and annihilate the enemy's front army." ”

In Wanyan Zongqi's opinion, the front army of the Han army was only 10,000, and this guy Ha Chihu led 3,000 cavalry to easily crush the Han army.

Ha Chihu, tall and big, looked like a big bear without hair, he waved the mountain axe and rushed over.

Seeing that the enemy was coming, a commander with a giant axe rushed forward first, Niu Gao swung an iron axe to meet him, and the two generals with axes collided together. And the Jin cavalry and the Han army also fought together.

The battlefield discipline of the Han army was ironclad, and the order was forbidden, and before the order to retreat was issued, even if there was only one person left, it would be a bloody battle to the end. Those who retreat without permission will fight, and their families will also be implicated. This is a world of difference from the fact that most of the Song army fled after encountering the Jin army.

Brainless, it's obvious that Ha Chihu is a brainless guy, as the main general of the attacking side, how can he fight one-on-one with the enemy general and fight unintelligently? On the other hand, Niu Gao is a big slippery head, the Han army has long arranged tactics, when arranging the formation, there is already a plan to deal with the cavalry, and there is also an order to retreat, now it only needs to meet the battle, almost no tactical adjustments, and there is no need for Niu Gao to command.

10,000 Han troops were entangled with the 3,000 Jin cavalry, at this time, Niu Gao and Ha Chihu were fighting fiercely, and the killing was inseparable, making the 3,000 cavalry belong to a state of disorderly fighting.

Wanyan Zongqi, who was in the back, saw that the attack of the cavalry in front was very chaotic, and he knew that something was wrong, so he ordered Yu Lihuo to lead five thousand cavalry to press up, which was already the maximum limit, after all, the terrain was narrow, and no matter how many troops could not be used.

Seeing that the enemy's 5,000 cavalry was coming, Yue Fei ordered the front army to withdraw.

Niu Gao is killing the rise, but now that he wants to withdraw his troops, he can only give up the duel with Ha Chihu.

Ha Chihu didn't think so much, seeing that the opponent was about to escape, this guy rushed forward without hesitation, and the cavalry behind also swarmed up.

The Han army had done drills in front of the trenches before, and when retreating, they were methodical and soon broke through the seventeen trenches, but these trenches became a nightmare for the Jin cavalry.

When the horse leaps over the trench, the spears and spears below pierce the horse's belly from the bottom up.

When the abdomen of the war horse was pierced, the war horse fell, and the Jin army fell into the trench from the war horse, and before he could react, the whole person was stabbed to death by the Han army.

Many Han soldiers were crushed to death by war horses, which can be said to be very heroic, but no matter how many casualties these Han troops were, they still insisted on fighting with the Jin army.

This bloody battle, the Han army was tragic, this kind of bloody battle was a serious test for the Han army, and it was a nightmare for the Jin army.

When the nightmare struck, the casualties of the Jin army gradually increased, and with thousands of casualties, the Jin army finally rushed through the trench and finally became entangled with the Han army in the middle.

Entanglement, this entanglement is a nightmare for the Jin army and the Han army, in a small space, more than 27,000 Han troops and about 7,000 Jin cavalry are entangled together. This melee is something that the Jin army has never encountered, and in this bloody battle, the Jin army was entangled by the Han army, and it was impossible to evacuate, so it could only be fought hard.

Once the cavalry was entangled by several times the infantry, it was difficult to give full play to the advantages of the cavalry, and it suddenly became infantry on horseback. There were still 20,000 rear troops behind, and in this case, the Han army fought to the end, fighting for every inch of land, entangled the Jin army to the death, and the two sides launched a cruel encounter.

The cavalry sprinted and did not move, and could only fight to the death in a small space, which brought huge pressure to Wanyan Zongqi, and it was unrealistic to withdraw the army now, either let these thousands of cavalry be annihilated, or the army would press on it and rush to kill it stiffly

Choice, this multiple-choice question is a bit difficult to do, Wanyan Zongqi finally did not have the courage to survive with a broken arm, he chose to press the army, hoping to crush the 50,000 Han army this time.

When Yan Zongqi hesitated and prepared to press the army, the 20,000 Han army completed the outflanking.

Hua Rong led 10,000 Han kings to rush over like a torrent of steel, Pang Wanchun led 10,000 cavalry to follow, and 20,000 cavalry completely blocked the road of Yan Zongqi's hind legs.

Seeing that Yan Zongqi led the army to press, Yue Fei's face showed a smile, he knew that the decisive battle had come, so he ordered the rear army to attack, this battle was a lore game, the task was to completely annihilate the 30,000 Jin cavalry, and finish Yan Zongqi.

For the Han army, Wanyan Zongqi had already been a prisoner of the Han army, and it didn't matter if he was captured or hunted this time, so Yue Fei issued the final order for a decisive battle.

When the Han army and the Jin army were mixed together, 10,000 Han kings rode over, and this heavily armored cavalry armed to the teeth was destined to be a nightmare for the Jin cavalry, and their existence was to hunt and kill the Jin cavalry.

Tiefutu was the nightmare of the Song army, and every time it appeared, it was crushed and killed, and the Song army fled. In turn, the Han king's cavalry was the nightmare of the Jin cavalry, and the Jin soldiers they would kill every time turned on their backs.

It's over, when he saw the king of Han riding behind him, Wanyan Zongqi knew that he was fooled, and under the shadow of being captured last time, he chose to escape, because if he was captured again this time, let alone having no chance with the crown prince in this life, he would even have to be a man with his tail between his legs for the rest of his life.

Although the king of Han rode bravely and skillfully, but still did not stop Yan Zongqi from escaping, Hua Rong did not want the king of Han to consume too much physical strength in the process of chasing, he chose to stay and kill the Jin army, but handed over the task of chasing to Pang Wanchun.

Escaping, it was not so easy, Wanyan Zongqi finally encountered the silver spear Gao Favor, this time the high pet made a meritorious contribution, he waved the silver gun in his hand, and finally completed the encirclement of more than 2,000 Jin cavalry.

In a state where he could not escape, Wanyan Zongqi chose to surrender and became a prisoner of the Han army for the second time.

The 30,000 cavalry was finally annihilated, Wanyan Zongqi was captured alive, and Yue Fei led the army to Bianliang City. And Pang Wanchun and Yang Zaixing each commanded 10,000 cavalry to pursue Yan Zongchang, and Gao Chong and Hua Rong each commanded their headquarters to pursue Yan Zongtai.

The 10,000 cavalry led by Xu Ning encountered Wanyan Zongchang, who led the 10,000 cavalry of the Jin Kingdom, while Lin Chong and Hu Yanzhuo encountered Wanyan Zongtai, who led the 20,000 cavalry of the Jin Kingdom.

There are strategies and tactics on the battlefield, but the encounter is more of a reflection of strength, especially the Han army, they suppressed the Jin army from the momentum, and they also knew that the reinforcements were not far away, in this case, they did not choose to fight with the Jin army, but just bit this Jin cavalry to delay time.

The myth of the Jin army's invincibility has long been broken by the Han army, when encountering the Han army, the Jin army did not have the slightest psychological advantage, when the other party did not take the initiative to attack, Wanyan Zongchang made the most stupid mistake, he actually chose to avoid, this is a dead end, since he chose, the door of death slowly opened.

Before and after, when Pang Wanchun and Yang Zaixing led 20,000 cavalry to press up, Xu Ning no longer delayed, he came down to attack, and the 10,000 Han iron cavalry pressed up like a flood beast.

When he saw the Han army pressing up, Wanyan Zongchang knew what was going on, but there was no regret medicine in the world, so he could only give the order to attack.

The two armies clash, the brave wins, this is the spirit of the bright sword on the battlefield.

Jin general Xu Ning is also a ruthless man, after the Han army and the Jin army fought together, he waved the golden gun to catch up with Wanyan Zongchang, this battle is to capture the main general of the Jin army as a prisoner.

Wanyan Zongchang is also a fierce general, but in the face of General Jin Xu Ning, one of the top ten fierce generals of the Han Dynasty, this guy is destined to be captured. When the dragons were leaderless and the Jin army had no main general, their morale was low and they began to scatter and flee, and it was at this time that Pang Wanchun and Yang Zaixing led the cavalry to kill them and hunted all the cavalry of the Jin Kingdom.
