Chapter 398: One Night The East Wind Blows Fishy
As the queen of the palace, Yin Keshu didn't plan to go back alive this time, and of course he couldn't leave.
The weapon in the hand of this tartar was a pair of hammers, and under the swing of the left and right, the Song army's shield sawdust flew wildly.
As a brave general under Zong Han, Yin Keshu knew that it was Lou Room who was behind the palace last time, and if he avoided every time, he would become the laughing stock of the Jurchen and be spurned.
After the start of the Battle of Liao, he was often compared with Lou Mur, who was also fighting for the upper position, and Lou Mur pressed him everywhere.
No matter why the Jurchens withdrew their troops, Yao Pingzhong would definitely not let them go, the Song army beat the war drums, the horn sounded desolate and majestic, in Zhuolu Mountain under the night, the place where the soldier master Chi You broke his halberd, chased and killed the Jurchen soldiers and horses with the strongest force in the world.
Yin Keshu watched a Song soldier rush towards him with a knife, and smashed his face door with just one blow, the thorns on the hammer were deeply embedded in the skull, and there was another Song Jun in this gap, slashing him in the leg.
Yin Keshu screamed, and the arm that lifted the hammer was slightly delayed, and in this short moment, there were many wounds on his body, and a spear pierced his lower abdomen, and Yin Keshu felt that his intestines were flowing out of the armor.
Two fists are hard to beat with four hands, Rao is Yin Keshu is brave and abnormal, and he can't stop the seemingly endless Song army on the mountain. The soldiers and horses under his command are almost completely explained here.
At this moment, the Jurchens, a man who can fight military horses, more than 200 people, less than 100 people. Yin Keshu's subordinates, but more than a dozen Mok, are all accumulated by the first-order combat exploits of Yin Keshu.
If there are no other changes, more than ten years later, this guy will also be the main force of the Jurchen Zonghan faction, entrenched in Shanxi and Shaanxi for many years, and his power is monstrous.
But now, everything is a dream bubble, I don't know which Song general, shouted "kill him", the spears of the two small soldiers pierced his ribs along the gap in the breastplate, and a bloodstained long knife cut off the head.
In the distance, more than 300 Jurchen archers were shooting arrows with bows and arrows in hidden places in the mountains. By the light of the fire, almost every Song soldier he saw could shoot and kill.
Yin Keshu died, but his men had enough time to stop him, and Zong Han escaped from the valley with Wu Qimai's body.
After walking a few steps, there was a quiet mountain village, Zong Han pointed to the distance and said, "Go to this village, find some food and water to drink." Arrange the position, no matter who ambushes us, I want to fight him when I get out of the valley. ”
What he said was to find, for this small village, it was a blood mold.
Behind him, dozens of Jurchen cavalrymen, carrying the reins, came out and rushed towards the village.
Halfway through, a rain of arrows, in the dark night, harvested the lives of this group of Tartars, and only a few escaped back to their base with thick leather armor.
Wanyan Lou Room shouted: "It's not good, Zong Han, there is also an ambush here!" ”
In the dark, I don't know how many people are shooting arrows in the village. Relying on the force and direction of the shot, the Jurchens roughly judged where the enemy was, so they hid behind the shield and shot back.
Under the cover of night, the strings sounded. The soldiers and horses on Yang Lin's side are not veterans, but recruits recruited in the past three years.
Their bow skills are rarely skilled, but fortunately, the Great Song Dynasty has crossbow arrows, and crossbows don't require much strength to shoot strong arrows.
Archers and crossbowmen shoot against each other, and it's hard to say which side has a definite advantage.
In terms of strength, it is natural that the crossbow is strong and the bow is weak. However, in terms of the rate of fire, the bow and arrow are more than ten times faster, and in a battle, it is rare to use the bow and crossbow alone to determine the winner and loser.
In tonight's battle, not only in terms of the number of archers, the Jurchens far surpassed, and there were more than 100 archers in a few Mouke. Coupled with the advantage of the rate of fire of the bow and arrow, the Song army's small soldiers fired a crossbow, and the Jurchen army's horses could send ten arrows. And around the Jurchen archers, there are side cards and shields to cover. Even if the crossbow is strong, it is not stable enough to kill and injure the opponent.
However, the advantage of the Song army was that they hid in the shadows, relying on the big rocks and trees around the entrance of the village, covering their bodies and shooting indiscriminately.
Zong Han had a gloomy face and said, "The time that Yin Keshu gave us in exchange for his life can't be wasted in this place, and the enemy army behind him will chase after him if he doesn't leave." ”
Lou Mu nodded, turned back to the rear army, and after a while, there was a sudden shouting and shouting on the battlefield. In the Jurchen army array, a team of infantry armor soldiers was organized, and at this time, they were crossing the archer array and approaching the ancient road of the mountain village with a wooden shield.
Han Shizhong, who has always regarded himself very highly and is suspicious of the Jurchens' bravery, can't help but be speechless. From dusk to the present, and then escaped for so long, he can still charge. Even if these people change species and become an animal now, it is more than enough.
On the Song army's side, they were just chasing after on the road, but they had not experienced the battle in the valley, and Han Shizhong gathered men and horses to strictly defend it.
Most of the Jurchen infantry soldiers in this heavy formation were Liao soldiers who surrendered near Shangjing Mansion, and the reason why they were so livestock was because there were Jurchen knives behind them, and now these servant troops were almost exhausted. Zong Han's eyes narrowed, holding Wu Qimai's body, and shouted: "Array, rush over." ”
The Jurchen elite rode and protected all the nobles in the middle, braved the rain of arrows and no longer fought back, and rushed directly into battle. Until now, they don't know what kind of enemy army it is, and their fear often comes from the unknown.
The biggest defeat encountered after sending troops has made the once invincible Jurchens feel a little loose. They originally had two chances tonight, one was when they were in the valley, they really rushed to the hillside, and the main force of the army fought with Yao Pingzhong in the same place, and they may not have no chance.
It's a pity that at that time, Wu Qimai, who was cheated by one hand, was full of qi and blood, accelerated the operation of toxins, and finally died violently.
The second is that Yinkeshu bought them time, Zong Han at this time, if he set up a good position and lit torches to fight with the Song army on the ancient road, these hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses may not be able to stop the Jurchens. After all, these Song army's battle formation experience and fighting experience are not as far away as the Jurchens.
However, knowing nothing about the enemy made Zong Han lose the courage to concentrate on command, and chose to break through and flee instead.
Soon, the two armies fought each other and became a pursuit battle, Zong Han took a few fierce generals, holding Wu Qimai's body under the cover of his own soldiers, and fled through the vast night, leaving the army behind.
The consequences for the Jurchen soldiers were catastrophic, and there was no way to stop effective resistance, but they fought on their own. The so-called rabble is the current situation.
Exhausted from the fight between the two sides overnight, the sun slowly rose and shone on the land after the chaotic battle.
The misty morning mist wet his eyebrows, and the cold on the iron armor was very thick. Scanning the past, there were corpses everywhere.
Overnight, the Jurchen army of the southern expedition plus the servant army, a total of more than 100,000 people, were almost completely annihilated, and only less than 1,000 elite cavalry escaped. The Jurchens paid a terrible price for their greed and arrogance, and also succeeded in turning their number one enemy from the Khitan into the Great Song Dynasty.
Zong Ze also successfully defeated the small Jurchen troops who escorted the equipment, and completely annihilated this Jurchen army of soldiers and horses, and less than 12/12 of the equipment was transported back. On the entire road of Xijing Road, corpses are strewn all over the field, and blood is flowing everywhere.
Yang Lin and Yao Pingzhong met together, waiting for a new war to come, a battle that they provoked.
