Chapter 362: Take Zhao Gou directly!
It was the cavalry of the Jin army that retreated, leaving a small thousand corpses in front of the Song army!
Wanyan Huonu decisively ordered the withdrawal of the army, but the front of the troops was blocked, and if she didn't retreat, it would be too bad.
And they are cavalry troops, they don't need to do any more rectification, the front army retreats, and the rear army comes forward, then a second attack can be launched immediately.
Orihiko was bleeding in his heart. The Song army was not without cavalry at all.
After converging with the 3,000 horse army brought by Zhao Gou, the Ying Tian Song army had at least 5,000 horse troops. But the 5,000 horse army was held in the palm of Zhao Gou's hand, and he was not given a single soldier at all.
And if he can have 500 cavalry in his hands now, take the opportunity to scatter it, and see if the golden thief can retreat so easily?
Putting away the unwillingness in his heart, Zhi Yanzhi knew very well the nature of the former army he led, which was itself a meat shield.
So he is not qualified to complain about anything, and quickly reorganizing the remnants and reorganizing the defense line is the first thing.
Whether it is the era of cold weapons or the age of hot weapons, the army has a casualty tolerance rate.
Once the line is crossed, the consequences are very serious.
Therefore, when the commander commands the battle, he must not consume the troops under his command to the death, otherwise, the soldiers will collapse on the battlefield, but the army will be defeated.
Especially Song Jun. Whether it was against the Liao army, or against the party, or against the Jin soldiers, the casualties and blows of the front-line army immediately exceeded the red cordon, which made the front-line soldiers and horses completely lose their fighting spirit and collapse, and the defeated soldiers scattered and disrupted the follow-up new forces, so that there were many examples of the entire war being defeated.
Therefore, on top of the battle formation, the commander must grasp the rhythm of advance and retreat, withdraw the troops with heavy losses in a timely manner, and replace them with a new force with combat effectiveness, which is very important. But covering the retreat of the infantry or covering the defeated soldiers of the opponent is precisely the most suitable job for the cavalry, and the Song army has irreparable shortcomings in this regard!
Because the Song army had no cavalry available, the retreat of the Jin cavalry was quite easy, and the Song army's armor soldiers just chased for a dozen steps, and then sent someone to cut off the heads of the corpses of the Jin soldiers left on the battlefield, while re-recruiting the troops in the cheers.
It's not that they don't want to chase, but the cavalry deployed on both flanks of the Jin army is already ready to move! If the Song army can't recover the array in time, they can break through the Song army's army formation without the protection of spears and shields with just one charge!
The infantry armor of the Song army scattered on the battlefield could not resist the rush of the horse army.
This is the lesson they have learned from many failures and lives in more than 100 years.
With the withdrawal of the cavalry of the former army, the infantry armor of the Song army has also been completed, but compared with the previous three columns of shield walls, the current Song army has only a small column. Wanyan Huonu sneered and made a move, and personally led the rear cavalry to launch a new round of charge.
Zhao Gou shook his head slightly, if there was no earth-shattering thunder, this ......, now he was afraid that he would frown fiercely.
At present, this battle seems to be won by the Song army, but in fact, the Jin army has the advantage!
The Song army was in formation, and with the advantage of bows and crossbows, they concentrated a large group of infantry armor to repel the first attack of the Jin cavalry.
Arrays do not fight, this is also the experience of the Khitan people after paying a lot of tuition.
Wanyan Lou Room did not first harass the Song army with the Xiren cavalry in the palm of his hand, and then put into the infantry army in his hand, and finally used the cavalry to make the final decision, which can only be said that the Jurchens really despised the Song army too much.
Of course, it could also be that he was in a hurry to defeat Zhao Gou, because the Song army fighting against them was only a part. The Zong Ze army outside the city and the Song army on the west bank of the river will not be indifferent to the attack of the Song army in Hedong in vain.
Therefore, the war was just the beginning, and he used real kung fu.
He didn't want to see the Song army on the west bank of the river cross the river in large numbers to reinforce him, he needed to defeat Zhao Gou before a large number of Song troops on the west bank of the river arrived. But he can also tolerate one or two failures of Wanyan Huonu.
After all, there are so many people in the Song army in Hedong. No matter how powerful the attacker is, it is rare for the attacker to break through the opponent's defense with a single attack, and it often has to fight many times over and over again, slowly exhausting the defender's strength before taking the position.
The same is true of the fight between Song and Jin.
It's just that he needs to cut some time short.
Wanyan Huonu's second attack came quickly, and Wanyan Lou Room in the back of the formation ordered Wanyan Saili and Da Tart Buye to lead a large number of infantry armor to come forward afterwards.
A heaviness flashed across Orihiko's face.
He fought with the Jin soldiers many times, and fought several times, and the Jin army was a routine, first fighting with the infantry army, one after another, and at the same time harassing the Song army's array with cavalry, which naturally consumed more of the Song army's energy. If the Song army does not have many troops, their energy will naturally become unbearable after being greatly consumed, and the horse army that is 'resting' behind the Jin army will kill with a fatal blow.
I've never seen anyone who uses cavalry to scare as soon as he strikes. And now not only the cavalry continues to fight hard, but even the infantry armor is overwhelmingly killed......
Of course, Orihiko knew why.
The Jin people just wanted to defeat the Song army east of the river before a large number of soldiers and horses on the west bank of the river arrived.
In this way, they will win this battle.
Even if a large number of Song troops on the west bank of the river all fled into Chenliucheng, so what?
The problem of food and firewood alone was enough to make it impossible for the Song army to stick to Chenliu for a long time.
By the time the Song army was broken and killed from Chen Liucheng, the morale of the army would not be the same as today.
Even, as an army that is kneaded together by multiple soldiers, as long as the Jin people let go of a 'way to live', the Song army itself can be defeated.
"Kill—"
Orihiko raised his bow and arrow, "Stretch!" With a slight sound of the bowstring, the feather arrow struck the door of a burly golden soldier as if it had eyes, and the man screamed and fell to the ground!
In the face of the strong offensive of the Jin people, Zhi Yanzhi shrunk the front army into a ball, like a huge ant ball, although it was washed away layer after layer in the torrent that the Jin people could not resist, but he did not move, and he stood in front of Zhao Gou.
"Lou Mu Sumire, why don't I lead the troops to take Zhao Gou directly!" Bo Lu Huo shouted towards Wan Yan Lou Room.
Oriyan tightly shrunk the front army into a ball, and the distance between it and the Chinese army was even greater. Bo Luhuo felt that it was not impossible to bypass the front army and directly kill the Chinese army. As long as Wanyan Huonu, Wanyan Saili and Da Tart Buye can watch the front army of the Song Army.
"There are only a few people in the former army of the Southern Barbarians, and they can be watched by the living girl. I'll send Seri Langjun and Big Tart Buye to your disposal. must kill Zhao Jiu'er with Kan. Wan Yan Lou spoke.
The former army of Zheyan is only 10,000 people, and there is no need to waste too many troops.
A smile immediately appeared on Boluhuo's face. A large number of Jin troops were mobilized.
And the sound of the horn on the Jin army's array, Zhao Gou looked at the changing array of the Jin army, looked at the large number of Jin soldiers pressing towards the Chinese army, and his face also showed a sincere smile.
"Tell Zhao not to try, prepare to fight."
The faces of everyone around Zhao Gou showed a moment of solemnity, and everyone knew that the decisive battle had begun. Don't look at this battle, it has only started for a short time, but the Shenji Battalion is Zhao Gou's biggest reliance in this battle, how many times has he told the people around him that with the law given by the ancestors, it is easy to break the gold thief.
Now is the time to validate all of this.
