Chapter 260: The Complete Victory of the Bloody War
The balance of victory is always tilted in favor of the brave, which is what the world often says: the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road.
Bazak is not obvious in the Jin army on weekdays, but it doesn't mean that he is incapable, this guy was originally just a slave of Wanyan Zongqi, his status is very low, and it is difficult to get ahead. It was only after Yan Zongqi's army was defeated in Yin Mountain that he had the opportunity to show his talents, and then he climbed up step by step.
In the country of Jin, the commander has nothing to be proud of, it is nothing, but it took less than a year to climb from hard work to the commander, which can be said to be a miracle among miracles. For Bazak, the last step to reach the pinnacle of life is missing, because as long as he becomes a captain, he can break away from his master and become a real nobleman.
This battle was a fateful battle for Bazak, and under the heavy reward, this seriously underestimated warrior was finally born.
A sheep with a group of lions, then the lion will also become a sheep, this is the manifestation of leadership incompetence, the Song army is a typical representative, although the Song army is weak, but not to run away from the wind, the reason why it is a thousand miles away, mainly because the generals are incompetent, is the tragedy of the Great Song Dynasty to unify the military with literature, this pit was dug down by Song Taizu, and the later emperor has been unable to fill in until the destruction of the country.
A lion with a flock of sheep, then the sheep will also become a lion, this is where the charm of leadership lies, represented by Liu Zhenglong, led the weak Song army still defeated the Western Xia god of war Li Chage, and still captured the Western Xia Emperor Li Qianshun. Today's Bazak is a male lion leading a group of lions, very ferocious and very strong to tear apart the Han army's array. With the onslaught of the Jin cavalry, the Han army could no longer resist it, the mouth was gradually increasing, and the casualties were increasing, and the scene was really miserable.
The Jin cavalry, who was deeply encouraged, rushed into the Han army's large array like crazy, although the Han army had an iron will, but the cavalry's crushing of the infantry was a gap in strength, a fatal crush, not a will that could be changed.
As the openings widened, the Han army slowly dispersed to both sides, and the troops behind continued to retreat and retreat, and the situation was precarious. If there is no new force to join, the collapse of the army is imminent.
The dawn of victory appeared, Wanyan Zonggu, who led tens of thousands of troops for the first time, looked very excited, this guy ordered a full-front assault, he must kill the bloody road, break the Song army's large array, and must be in front of Wanyan Zongqi.
The Jin army became more and more courageous, the Han army was defeated and retreated, and the battle situation continued to deteriorate. But at this time, an inconspicuous change appeared, that is, the 50,000 marches were completely entangled with the Han army, and it was very difficult to peel them off, but Wanyan Zonggu, who was carried away by the victory, could not see it. As for Wanyan Zongqi saw it, he didn't take it seriously, he always firmly believed that in the face of absolute strength, no amount of conspiracy and trickery would have any effect.
After holding out for half an hour, the Han army could not hold on at all, and rushed to both sides like a tide, but the Jin army did not chase after it and tear it up, but continued to rush forward.
Mr. Jin Jian's rear army of Li Zhu finally caught up with the Jin State cavalry, and the steel array was ready to meet the high-spirited and energetic Jin State cavalry.
The infantry met the cavalry in the charge, which was destined to be a brutal defensive battle, and the casualties would be large.
Just when Bazak led the cavalry of the Jin State to take the lead in the advance of the charge, a sad thing happened, countless traps appeared in front, countless war horses fell into the horse pit, and countless cavalry were assassinated by the Han army after falling from their horses.
The speed of the Jin country's cavalry charge has been curbed to the maximum, and the good luck of Bazak, the invincible Jin country warrior, has also come to an end, and Yang Zaixing, one of the overlord spears of the empire's double walls, has been waiting for a long time, and he envies the high pet war against the first warrior of the Jin country, Wan Yan Qige, and also wants to have such a tear to prove himself. There is no doubt that the unusually strong-looking Bazak in front of him is very suitable.
Seeing that the bear-like huge Bazak was like a flock of tigers and sheep attacking the Han army's array, Yang Zaixing couldn't bear it anymore, and this guy waved the overlord gun and covered it up.
The overlord gun is full of domineering when it is wielded. As soon as Yang Zaixing came up, he used a move to suppress Mount Tai, and the overlord gun in his hand smashed into Bazak's head like an iron rod.
When he saw a spear smashed against his head, Bazak did not dare to be careless, and he met it with the golden-topped doll lance in his hand, and the two weapons collided with each other.
The sound of heavy impact was deafening, and this time it showed that the strength of the two men was almost the same. Yang Zaixing felt his arms tingle, and understood that the strength of the Jin country on the other side was infinite, and he was incapable of being an enemy. And Bazak, whose tiger's mouth was shattered, also understood that the generals in the Song army were not all bad breeds, and there were still warriors in them.
Heroes cherish heroes, and heroes know heroes.
At this moment, Bazak had respect for this Song general in his heart, and as a soldier, his respect for his opponent was to go all out to kill him. Bazak concentrated on the battle, and no longer had time to lead the Jin army to sprint ahead, at this time the speed of the Jin army's sprint slowed down a lot, the previous advantage was no longer obvious, and it was eaten away by the Han army little by little.
Although the Jin army rushed away from the front army of the Han army and the Chinese army with a thunderous momentum, but when encountering the rear army, it encountered unprecedented resistance, and the Han army formed the Great Wall of steel with flesh and blood, although the casualties were heavy, but the Han army no longer retreated a step, not only that, but the Han army that was forced to retreat to both sides was killed from both sides as if it was a chicken blood. On the left is the golden spear general Xu Ning to attack the Jin army with a devastating force, these spearmen are in front, rushing forward bravely, and behind are the angry shots of the crossbowmen, suppressing the Jin army to the death, so that it can not go to the full sprint. Lu Junyi on the right, this jade unicorn was finally killed, and he led the army not to sprint, but to advance slowly, constantly compressing the space for the Jin army's activities.
Bazak soon realized that he had been fooled, the Jin army had no impact speed, and the Han army fell into a brutal positional battle, this kind of stalemate battle, the cavalry lost its former edge, became an infantry on horseback, and was constantly shot by the Han army.
The Han army was obviously trained in a targeted manner, and the spearmen were always backed by crossbowmen, and the spears fought bloody battles with the cavalry in front, delaying the Jin army's sprint, and the crossbowmen constantly shot the Jin army.
The bloody battle lasted for nearly two hours, and the Han army's large array became stronger and stronger, and there was no sign of being crushed at all. At this time, Wanyan Zonggu was a little anxious, he knew that once he fell into the stalemate of this positional battle, then the cavalry would lose speed and mobility, and in the face of the tough resistance of the 90,000 Han army, it would be difficult for the 50,000 cavalry to break through the enemy's large formation. If you can't break through the enemy's big array, then the war will lose its meaning if it continues, and you can only continue to increase casualties, this battle is doomed to be lost, and it is impossible to rush into Qingluanchuan at all, and you can't rescue Brother Yan Qi.
Wanyan Zonggu is a ruthless character, seeing that he can't break through the Han army's array, he even directly ordered the withdrawal of the army regardless of Wanyan Zongqi's life or death.
The vassal army retreated like a tide, and at this time, Wanyan Zonggu's heart was a dead friend and an immortal poor man, this guy forgot that Wanyan Zongqi was his brother, and he was the eldest son of Wanyan Wu Qimai, the emperor of the Jin Kingdom. Forget that Wanyan Zongqi led the Jurchen warriors. You must know that the entire Jin Kingdom plus the Jurchen warriors is less than 300,000, once it is annihilated this time, then it is equivalent to one-fifteenth, which is very terrifying. You must know that during the entire war of aggression against the Song Dynasty, the death of Jurchen warriors did not exceed 5,000, and the consequences of being completely annihilated in this battle were serious, but unfortunately he did not expect it.
A terrible and strange thing happened, the vassal army retreated, and the Han army no longer held its ground, no longer resisted to the death, but slowly dispersed on both sides, making way for the Jin army.
Wanyan Zongqi knew that Wanyan Zonggu had withdrawn, and he also knew that there was a trap laid by the Han army in front of him, but he still rushed in without hesitation. Wanyan Zonggu didn't know about the Great Song cavalry, but after Wanyan Zongqi experienced the Battle of Yinshan, he knew that the Great Song cavalry was powerful. I knew more that if I retreated, I would encounter the Great Song cavalry, not to break through, but to encounter a more brutal bloody battle.
Compared with the cavalry of the Great Song Dynasty, Wanyan Zongqi, who had the psychological shadow of defeat, was more willing to encounter the Great Song infantry, and was not afraid of any matter how many men and horses the other party had. Moreover, in Wanyan Zongqi's opinion, as long as he can lead the army to rush into Qingluan Town and finish the matter with Brother Wanyan Qi, and then kill the horse pistol, no matter how many infantry the Song army has, it will not be able to stop the Jin State Iron Cavalry.
Rationality is plump, reality is skinny. From the moment Yan Zongqi led more than 10,000 Jurchen warriors to rush into Qingluan Town, the door to victory was completely closed.
Qingluan Town is a place of death, the grave of the Jin army, how can the Han army be allowed to enter and exit freely? After more than 10,000 Jurchen warriors broke into Qingluan Town, the lore game officially began, the horn of death sounded, and countless igniting arrows were shot at Qingluan Town, and the sulfur, saltpeter, fire oil, and gunpowder that were originally buried in the town were ignited. The entire town of Qingluan was full of explosions, and there was a sea of fire everywhere.
Although the victory and Wanyan Qige round, the two teams together exceeded 16,000 people, but Wanyan Zongqi, who was trapped in the sea of fire, still felt the pressure and broke through, wanting not to be completely annihilated, and there was only one way left to break through.
The Han army had already laid a dead formation, how could it allow the Jin cavalry to break through? Every time the Jin army hits, in exchange for an overwhelming number of flying arrows, every breakthrough will bring huge casualties, the key is that there are one after another trenches outside the town, as if the distance has been calculated, the width of each trench is just the width that the war horse can not cross, no matter how crazy the Jin army breaks through, it can only be exchanged for greater casualties. After more than a dozen breakthroughs, the cavalry of the Jin Kingdom was sharply reduced to 10,000, and Wanyan Zongqi secretly complained in his heart, he knew that if there was no cavalry assistance, then this would be a place of death, and it would be 100% impossible to break through.
Wanyan Zongqi hoped that Wanyan Zonggu would come back and rescue him, but he knew that this was just a hope, and if Wanyan Zonggu could come to rescue him, he would not withdraw alone. If the rescue can be successful, Liu Zhenglong will not be the god of war of the Great Song Dynasty, how can the carefully laid death situation give the enemy a chance to crack it?
At this moment, Wanyan Zongqi understood that Liu Zhenglong's military talent far surpassed Wanyan Zongwang, and perhaps only Marshal Wanyan Xian could also fight with it. But far water can't quench the thirst of the near, Marshal Wan Yan Xian is also fighting with the Western Liao cavalry in Yunzhou, and he has no time to look east, so it can be said that the whip is beyond the reach of the whip.
Wanyan Zongqi knew that Wanyan Zonggu would not rescue him, but he did not despair, because the 30,000 Jurchen warriors of the fourth prince Wanyan Wushu were responsible for the rescue, as long as the 30,000 Jurchen warriors came over, they would definitely be able to break the enemy's large array and finally rescue themselves.
The 30,000 Jurchen warriors who completed the Yan Wushu plus the 10,000 under his command, these 40,000 invincible Jurchen warriors are all in one place, no matter how many Song troops there are, they can fight with one of them. This is Wanyan Zongqi's last hope, that is, he believes that Wanyan Wushu will come to the rescue, he is full of confidence and does not collapse.
It's a pity that Wanyan Zongqi thought too well, this guy's last hope was choked, and he had no chance at all, because the 30,000 Jurchen warriors who finished Yan Wushu encountered the most tenacious resistance.
The Han King Cavalry, the 10,000 Han King Cavalry under the leadership of Pan Yue fought to the death to block the Yan Wushu, the predecessor of the 10,000 Han King Cavalry was the Benlei Army, but this time it was replaced with a more advanced, lighter and thinner armor. In this way, the Han Dynasty cavalry has the super combat effectiveness of the heavy armored cavalry, and the mobility, flexibility, and staying power of the light armored cavalry. You must know that this Han cavalry is not at a disadvantage even if it is a hundred years after encountering the Mongolian cavalry, and when it encounters the later Guanning Iron Cavalry and the Eight Banners Cavalry of the Qing Dynasty, it is still not inferior.
The task of the Han King Cavalry is very simple, not to kill the enemy, nor to charge into battle, but to form a steel city wall to block the Yan Wushu to rescue Yan Zongqi, this task is not too difficult for the Han King Cavalry.
As long as the Han Wang cavalry, who is armed to the teeth, does not take the initiative to attack, does not advance, and defends with all his might, not to mention that the Jin cavalry is 30,000 against 10,000, even in the face of 50,000 or even 100,000 enemies, the Han Wang cavalry can also be immovable, and will never let the other party pass.
Wanyan Wushu led the Jurchen cavalry to sprint more than a dozen times, in exchange for heavy casualties, but the Han Dynasty cavalry still guarded the position like a great wall of steel, trying not to lose the position.
The current Wanyan Wushu is a dilemma, advance, it is impossible to kill, facing this cavalry armed to the teeth, which makes him feel powerless. At this time, Wanyan Wushu thought of Tiefutu, if Tiefutu participated in this battle, he would definitely be able to break through the enemy's interception, but it was useless to say anything now.
Advance, you can't advance, you can't retreat. You must know that once you choose to retreat, it will indicate that the 50,000 troops led by the two brothers Wanyan Zonggu and Wanyan Zonggu in front of you will be completely annihilated. You must know that since the Jin army rebelled against the Liao State, it has experienced nearly 100 wars, large and small, but it has never been so defeated. Wanyan Wushu is really in a dilemma, his task is to meet the front army, but the front army is about to be annihilated, how can he withdraw?
Wanyan Wushu was only blocked, and there was no danger of annihilation, but the withdrawal was a little embarrassing, and it was not easy to go back. However, Wanyan Zonggu was completely facing the catastrophe of annihilation, and the 20,000 vassal troops he led were strangled by 80,000 cavalry, which was a nightmare battle, and it was impossible to break through, and it was impossible to retreat, after all, there were tens of thousands of infantry intercepting behind.
At this time, Wanyan Zonggu found a very bad thing, that is, the number of the Song army was wrong, how could they fight more and more, where did they come from so many cavalry, and why did the total strength far exceed 170,000, or even more than 200,000.
The answer was finally revealed, the leopard head Lin Chong took the lead in rushing over, this guy was Mu Chun on the left, and Mu Hong led the army to kill on the right. It turned out that they arrived with new soldiers, which is why Liu Zhenglong was not afraid that the whole army would be pressed by Wanyan Zongwang when he was arranging.
Recruits are the back-up, but at the end of the war, it's time for recruits to go into battle to kill the enemy and exercise. The leopard head Lin Chong said to Mu Chun and the two brothers Mu Hong: "You two cover me and let me go and arrest the Jin army general." ”
In this way, Lin Chong, under the cover of the two brothers Mu Chun and Mu Hong, went straight to Wanyan Zonggu.
Wanyan Zonggu may be a little lacking in military command and has no overall view, but his individual combat ability is still very strong, and he saw the generals of the Song army rushing towards him, so he waved the golden-backed machete in his hand to meet him.
Wanyan Zonggu's individual combat ability is indeed very strong, the key is who to compare with, in front of the leopard head Lin Chong, the gap is a little too great.
In less than ten rounds, Wanyan Zonggu was captured alive by Lin Chong. The lord was captured, and the leaderless vassal army looked even more disorganized, and the whole army collapsed under the slaughter of enemies several times its size.
If the whole army collapses under the strangulation of the enemy, then a brutal killing will be ushered in.
The slaughter lasted nearly an hour, and all but a few of the 30,000 vassals were captured. The same tragic situation is Wanyan Zongqi and Wanyan Qige. The two Jin nobles were eventually captured and annihilated.
The fierce battle, which lasted for more than three hours, finally ended with the loss of 30,000 Han troops and the 54,000 annihilation of the Jin army.
When the voice on the battlefield weakened, he knew that the strangulation battle was over, even if he rushed over, it would be useless, the battle was over, and he rescued a fart, who else should he answer. What's even worse is that the Song army has ended the battle, and if the whole army counterattacks, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Wanyan Wushu took the lead in choosing to withdraw the army, but the Han Wangqi did not catch up, for them this battle is over, as for the war with Wanyan Wushu has just begun, I just don't know when it will start.
In the whole campaign, the Jin State lost a total of 90,000 troops, including 30,000 Jurchen warriors, 30,000 vassal troops, and 30,000 signing troops. Captured Wan Yan Qi Ge, Wan Yan Zongqi, Wan Yan Zonggu and other ten Jin nobles. The total casualties of the Han army in this battle exceeded 40,000, but 30,000 surrendered troops were collected, plus 50,000 recruits sent by Lin Chong, the total strength exceeded 200,000, and the conditions for a decisive battle with the Jin army were ripe.
