Chapter 653: Mountains and Rivers Change Color
In the city of Danzhou, Han Shizhong gave an order, the suspension bridge was lowered, and 80,000 elite horsemen were exhausted.
On the land of Youyan, the cavalry was ordered to scatter in all directions, and the beacon towers inside and outside the Great Wall were all lit.
The wolf smoke rushed straight into the sky, and all the soldiers looked up at the sky and unconsciously clenched the blades in their hands.
Yelu Dashi often talks about ten years of life and gathering, and ten years is enough to turn a teenager in a group into a strong warrior.
And the Great Song Dynasty does not need ten years, the huge national strength and population base, so that the Han dynasty in this magical land, only need the ruler to govern correctly for a few years, can turn into a terrible growth of national strength.
The Great Wall Corps, which has endured for a long time, has long been on the defensive, but for the sake of major strategic purposes, it has always been on the defensive.
The Jurchens would not understand what kind of progress their opponents had made in just three Youyan battles.
All troops and horses, fighting out of the city and fortress, strict military discipline is the biggest feature of today's Great Wall Corps. All the soldiers and horses strictly obeyed the general's orders, and began to march precisely according to the pre-assigned route.
This is the biggest improvement in the daytime drill and night classes, which has always been a mixed camp in the Song Dynasty, and the atmosphere has been reversed.
The Great Wall Corps is like an efficient machine, which was turned on by Han Shizhong and operated.
Wanyan Zonghan, who was slowly retreating, preparing to retreat to Jingzhou's solid defense line, looked at the pillars of smoke on the mountains in the distance, and the uneasiness in his heart became even stronger.
The Song people really retreated in a planned way, not like Da Liao, who couldn't stop the Jurchen's blade and fled.
The counterattack came so quickly, it exceeded his imagination, but fortunately, Longshan was still there, and it could be attacked and retreated, and it was expected that the Song army could not help himself.
As long as the emperor's army arrives, he will be able to kill the Song soldiers on their backs and step on the flowers and mountains in the south.
After Yan Zonghan gave the order, the rear army turned around and defended, and the front army accelerated its advance and retreated to Jingzhou before dark.
The Jurchen generals were all unimpressed, and they were eager to fight with the Song people immediately to verify the deep-rooted idea that the Nanren were weak and not Jurchen opponents.
However, Zong Han's prestige was too high, and these Tartar generals had to withdraw their troops according to the order.
Suddenly, a desolate horn sounded among the mountains, and the earth at the foot of Yan Mountain began to tremble.
Countless soldiers and horses suddenly appeared in front of them, and the red heads gathered into a sea of fire.
Han Shizhong stood on his horse, he didn't expect that the Jurchens would withdraw so decisively.
As soon as the two sides looked at each other, there was only a momentary pause, and soon there was a loud sound of drums and horns on both sides.
The officers and men of both sides have their own pride, and the military spirit is equal. Under the impact of soldiers and horses, it is a life-and-death struggle when encountered.
The power of Allah converges, like a rebellious ancient fierce beast, and with the tacit understanding of the Great Song Spirit Horse, it is like a precision war machine.
All arms cooperate tacitly, change skillfully, orders are prohibited, and advance and retreat are completely controlled by the commander.
The Great Song Dynasty light cavalry harassed the flanks and was invincible in the world's infantry policy, and under the improvement of Han Shizhong, it exerted a different combat power through the light cavalry.
The light cavalry of the Great Song Dynasty was the majority, using the flexibility of the cavalry to constantly run and change, looking for gaps and weaknesses in the Jurchens.
In the middle is the duel of heavy cavalry, the collision of flesh and blood, from the beginning like the collision of two mountains.
In the center of the battle array, the familiar sound of violent collision of men and horses sounded again. This is a terrible sound of people and horses colliding with each other and breaking flesh and bones, armor and horses on their bodies, the sound of metal colliding, and the sound of breaking armor and flesh.
Then there was the screaming of the armor soldiers, the neighing of the war horses, and the bloody breath that suddenly became thicker, making people feel sick.
The Great Song Heavy Cavalry charged over, relying on inertia, and knocked the Jurchen soldiers in the front row into a back.
The sound of blades piercing armor into flesh sounded one after another, and the first row of armor soldiers who rushed towards the Jurchen were almost swept away.
However, the combat power of the Jurchen cavalry was also fully manifested at this time, and with a little adjustment, a standard cavalry battle hedge formation with a wide front was arranged.
Such a brave opponent did not terrify the Jurchen Tartars, but aroused their ferocity.
For these heavily armored cavalry, the lethality of mounted shooting is negligible, and it is impossible to hurt them directly.
Without flesh and blood collision and slashing, the only way to distinguish the winner is to distinguish the winner, and the foot soldiers and light horsemen on both sides dare not approach at all.
After one move, both sides turned their horses' heads and charged again. The two opposing cavalry collided, making even more noise, and swirling with huge smoke and dust. In the yellow smoke, the sound of the collision between the two armies this time was more than ten times more tragic than before.
Han Shizhong's eyes were patrolling back and forth, his face was sinking like water, this battle had surpassed the knowledge of many generals, they never thought that in this field, the soldiers would exert such strength, and there were people who could match them.
The heavens and the earth are turbulent, the wind and clouds are changing, and Rao is used to seeing the bloody rain and bloody wind, and there should not have been a few such tragic battles.
The two sides fought from noon until it was dark, and the sound of horses' hooves rumbling in the distance sounded.
"Han Shuai, it's Jizhou reinforcements!"
"There are Pinglu soldiers and horses coming to support on the east side!"
The morale of the Song army was greatly boosted, especially the generals who plundered the formation, all of them were gearing up, ready to clean up this group of lonely Tartars who were deep in the army.
Zong Han in the distance couldn't hold back any longer and scolded: "Why haven't the reinforcements from Longshan arrived yet!" ”
How did he know that today's Longshan has long been a sea of fire.
Xie Yuan ordered to defend Hongjiazhai to the death, and soldiers and horses continued to support from the Great Wall.
The Jurchen follow-up troops in the north looked at the steep cliffs and could not move an inch.
And his favorite son, Shiyama, was eaten up by ants, leaving an empty braincase.
In all directions, Song soldiers continued to kill, Han Shizhong looked up to the sky and laughed, "The thieves and Tartars have committed three crimes, today is the time for liquidation, the left wing is outflanking, the right wing blocks the valley retreat, beats the war drums, and swears to kill Zong Han!" ”
"The Tang soldiers have arrived!"
"The brothers of Miyun are here to help!"
"That's the banner of Zunhua over there."
The golden drums are sounding in unison here, and the Jurchens are gradually losing their support, and after a day of fighting, it is already time to be exhausted, and the addition of the new force of the Great Song Dynasty has completely left the Jurchens behind.
Zong Han's eyes were torn, he looked to the east, made sure that no reinforcements had arrived, and gritted his teeth and said: "After Pucha Wulie stays behind, the army retreats to Longshan!" ”
As soon as this order was issued, the defeat of the battle was already announced, and several Jurchen generals howled and disagreed, "Zong Han, do you want to escape?" We Jurchens followed the emperor against Liao, never escaped, and couldn't start with me. ”
"Zong Han, you go and run for your life, I and Pucha Wulie stay."
Zong Han's face turned red, he didn't expect that there were seven or eight generals who were unwilling to withdraw their troops.
Their Moke is also the elite of the Jurchens, and Zong Han didn't want to waste time in a hurry, so he led his pro-army to abandon his baggage and flee east.
