Chapter 1465 There is no way to avoid it

The soldiers of the Falling Goose Army want to truly mature, but they have to go through the baptism of blood and fire on the battlefield. They can only become warriors if they have experienced real battles. There is nothing that can make them mature faster than on the battlefield. So, that's the paradox. On the one hand, they have to go through this battle, and on the other hand, they can collapse on the battlefield. Although I have repeatedly emphasized psychological construction on weekdays, asking veterans to tell more about their experiences on the battlefield to give them psychological vaccinations, I have never seen the impact of what I have personally witnessed, and I am not sure whether this kind of psychological construction will work or not. Lin Jue continued to sigh softly.

Bai Bing felt the worry in Lin Jue's heart, and hurriedly shook Lin Jue's palm with his hand to show comfort and encouragement. She understood Lin Jue's worries, all the burdens were on his man's body, and he had many worries in his heart but couldn't say it, it must be a very painful thing.

Lin Jue was unconscious, and said to himself: "In addition to these, there is another big thing I am worried about now. Since the Jurchens dared to let go of their hands and feet to fight a decisive battle with my Luoyan army, it further confirmed that Lu Zhongtian had completely betrayed the Great Zhou. Otherwise, at this time, the nearly 200,000 soldiers and horses he had at hand were still there, how could the Jurchens dare to fight a decisive battle with us with their backs against Bianliang. I was even worried that Lu Zhongtian would send soldiers and horses to assist the Jurchens in the battle. In that case, we will be dealing with more than 300,000 Jurchens. Maybe 350,000, maybe 400,000 enemy troops. And what I'm most worried about is not that Lu Zhongtian sent troops and horses to attack us with the Jurchens, but that Lu Zhongtian would secretly send troops to attack Niu Mountain. Go raid our nest. This old thief is insidious and cunning, and he may not be willing to participate in the frontal battle, but if he does such a sinister thing behind his back, it will really make us uncomfortable. I'm worried. ”

Bai Bing gasped, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead. Lin Jue didn't say it, she couldn't imagine that there was a big threat of Lu Zhongtian outside the battlefield. Thinking of the situation if Lu Zhongtian led his army to attack Funiu Mountain while the army was entangled by the Jurchens, Bai Bing didn't dare to imagine what kind of scene it would be.

"Husband......" Bai Bing's voice began to tremble: "What if...... What if they really went to attack Funiu Mountain? Although there are more than 30,000 soldiers and horses left behind in Luoyan Valley, they ...... That's not an opponent. How good is that? Husband has to find a way. ”

"I'm not trying to figure it out. There are 30,000 soldiers and horses left behind in the cottage, plus reserves and regimental training, but it is also possible to gather 50,000 or 60,000 people. But the combat effectiveness is not strong. If Lu Zhongtian attacked with all his might, he would definitely not be able to defend it. Hundreds of thousands of people in the mountains, as well as our relatives, are there, how can I not worry? That's what worries me. Fortunately, so far, we have received information that Lu Zhongtian has indeed sent tens of thousands of soldiers and horses along the south bank of the Bianhe River to the south of us. This shows that they have no plan to attack Funiu Mountain, but just want to help the Jurchens fight us head-on, and can only say that they don't have to worry about the safety of Funiu Mountain for the time being. But sooner or later they will think of it. Oh, that's hard. Lin Jue sighed.

Bai Bing's heart was heavy, and he was uncomfortable. She finally realized that her husband had so many things to think about every day. From an outsider's point of view, Lin Jue is always a calm and breezy appearance, always resourceful, calm, and confident. Seeing his attitude, everyone has confidence in their hearts, and they won't feel it

to panic. He can make everyone feel at ease, but in fact, he has too much in his heart, and he just doesn't want everyone to panic. Come to think of it, the husband is actually quite pitiful, he has endured so much, but not many people know. Even the people close to him may not know how many things he carries, but sometimes they have a little temper with him. For example, I sometimes often play petty with him and add trouble to him, how undeserved it is.

"That's it, let's not talk about that. It is useless to complain, there is only one way to face difficulties, and that is to face them and win. Complaining is the easiest thing to do, but it doesn't help. My Luoyan Army is not useless, we have things that others don't have. I also believe that we will not disappoint the Wild Goose Army, which we have carefully selected and trained for several years. It's a mule or a horse, and you have to pull it out and slip away. Don't worry, I won't let the Jurchens get their hands on it, and they don't want to get any benefits from my Luoyan army. Lin Jue reached out and hugged Bai Bing's slender and soft waist and said with a smile.

Bai Bing nodded lightly, leaned his head on Lin Jue's arm, and snuggled Lin Jue tightly. The husband and wife stood in each other's arms, looking at the dark earth under the tower, watching the bonfire lights in the camp, and the soldiers and horses coming and going in an orderly manner, standing quietly for a long time.

……

The spring sun casts golden rays on the earth. On the wilderness on both sides of Qingshui Creek, black soil, yellow dead grass, and faint new green form a carpet-like picture. Bathed in the spring sun, everything is plated with warm tones, making the earth come alive. Get up.

Amid the thunderous sound of horses' hooves and the long sound of horns, two huge armies of soldiers and horses in the east and west directions of the wilderness on both sides of Qingshui Creek quickly enveloped the earth like dark clouds, making the originally warm and vibrant land become desolate and slaughtered.

The flag is like a cloud, and the sword and gun are like a forest. The drums of war are pounding, and the trumpets are sounding. Horses' hooves are noisy, and people are shouting. Everything changed in an instant. The Jurchen army and the Luoyan army approached the battlefield on both sides of the Qingshui River, and a great battle was about to begin.

The Jurchens dispatched all 150,000 cavalry, including 40,000 Liao cavalry. After the defeat of several tribal chieftains, Taiyuan had to join the Jurchen army, and at this moment became a cavalry soldier on the flank of the Jurchen army. The rest are the main forces of the Jurchen cavalry. In addition, 100,000 Jurchen infantry lined up, and they were the auxiliary force in this battle. In Wanyan Aguda's idea, field warfare is naturally the world of cavalry, and infantry can only be reduced to a foil. He wanted to crush the storm of 150,000 cavalry and trample the opponent to dust.

The Luoyan army also arrived at the place on the east bank of Qingshui Creek. However, the scale of the number of people was much shabby compared to the Jurchen cavalry on the opposite side, which occupied a large area within a radius of five or six miles. The Luoyan army did not all sorts out, they only sent 50,000 cavalry and less than 20,000 infantry. A total of 70,000 soldiers and horses were arranged in a constricted column. This is a typical defensive formation with fewer soldiers than the opponent. Shrink your troops and horses into a smaller area and concentrate your forces to avoid distracting your strength because the formation is too scattered.

The 50,000 cavalry of the Luoyan Army was divided into 40,000 troops, and the 20,000 infantry teams in the middle formed a 'weapon' zigzag formation. This is also because the number of soldiers and horses is not large, resulting in the formation being contracted, and the opponent will outflank and attack from both sides. The advantage of this formation is that it is resistant in all directions, and the infantry formation does not lag behind or protrude out and be attacked by the opposing flank

Defeated. Protected infantry can attack opposing cavalry rushing into formation with bows and arrows and other long-range weapons from an area position in the middle of the four cavalry. And it can support broken formations in any direction at any time.

In short, this 'instrument' formation is one of the new formations of the Luoyan Army's exercise. It is specifically aimed at the opposing team's strong charging formation, which echoes and supports each other in order to cooperate with each other.

But for the Jurchens, when they saw the opponent's soldiers and horses shrinking in an area less than four miles in a radius of less than four miles, putting on such a strange shrinking formation, they knew that the other party would never dare to attack. They want to deal with this big battle on the defensive.

Wanyan Agu laughed loudly, and the other party's move was right in the middle. If the other side gives up the frontal resistance and allows their cavalry to rush in front of them to surround them, then they are killing themselves. Once the opponent's soldiers and horses are all besieged in it, it is a one-sided slaughter of the opponent.

"Lin Jue, Lin Jue, my good brother-in-law, you are nothing more than that, I still have some skills when you are you, your formation is timid. It's a pity, today my sister is afraid that she will become a widow, and my little nephew will also have no father. But there is no way, who told him that he does not know how to lift up, and has to be my enemy? Wanyan Aguda said with regret, and then, without hesitation, he gave the order to attack.

The Jurchen infantry drove 5,000 Great Zhou people, carrying wooden planks and logs, to Qingshui Creek and began to build bridges. There was originally a covered bridge over Qingshui Creek, but so many cavalry charged together, and naturally needed more bridges. Fortunately, Qingshui Creek is only two feet wide and less than a few feet deep, although it is not just a small stream as its name suggests, but it is just an ordinary small river. Even a war horse can jump over it in a narrow place.

Originally, in order to prevent the other party from obstructing the action of building a bridge, Wanyan Aguda also formulated several sets of plans. However, the Luoyan army had been waiting outside the Lixu from beginning to end, and had no intention of coming forward at all, so tens of thousands of archers also became idle on the west side of the riverbank.

The men went down into the waist-cold stream to lay logs as stakes, fixed the frames on the logs, and laid them with planks to nail them. In less than half an hour, hundreds of simple wooden plank bridges were built.

After all this was done, the battle finally began. With Wanyan Aguda's order, the Jurchen cavalry raised their swords, let out the sound of a mountain and a tsunami, and launched a charge towards the east. The frontal charge was dominated by 50,000 cavalry led by the cavalry vanguard general Zarhan. The 50,000 cavalry straddled an area of four or five miles and rushed straight to the front of the opponent's formation. At the same time, on the flanks and two flanks, the Liao army's 40,000 Liao cavalry was in the south, and the 40,000 cavalry of Yalu Buhua was in the north. The purpose of the entire battle formation is obvious, that is, to surround the opponent's soldiers and horses, first break up the formation, and then encircle and annihilate them, leaving no one behind.

The power of the charge of hundreds of thousands of cavalry on the land is difficult to describe in words, and you know its swift and deterrent power if you are on the spot. The whole earth trembled, and the cavalry swept in like a black tsunami slowly enlarged in their eyes, and the dense and boundless filled all the vision. The sparkle of armor and blades was enough to turn the sky above them into a white aura. The reflected light shines in the human eye, enough to make people blind, temporarily blind, and only full of golden light flashes. In this case, the psychological and visual impact is enough to suffocate.
