Chapter 331: Taiyuan Counterattack

"Pass my general order, even if there is a cliff in front of you, you must continue to charge, and those who violate the order will be engaged in military law!"

Jiagu gritted his teeth and issued an order not to die.

It's not that Jiagu keeps alive and doesn't care about the life and death of the soldiers, now it can only be like this, if you are afraid of stepping on the thunder and running back, and then encounter a rain of arrows and stones, it is estimated that there are fewer people left than rushing through the minefield.

The Jin people's military law was strict, and the battlefield disobeyed the order to kill on the spot, and the Jin soldiers could only charge hard, and finally waded through the minefield after a large number of casualties, turned a corner and galloped forward.

Jiagu was stupid, and saw that there were many stones blocked on the road in front of him, a person tall, more than 20 steps away, these cunning Song troops! Seeing that there were no ambushes here, Jiagu Baoalive ordered the cavalry to dismount and move stones.

The stones exhausted the golden soldiers, and they were about to clear the road, when suddenly a rain of arrows fell on the slopes on both sides of the road, followed by shouts of killing. The Jin soldiers were scrambling to find weapons and horses, and some of the Jin soldiers were cut to the ground by the Taihang Mountain soldiers who rushed down with their bare hands.

Jiagu Baoalive rode on his horse and kept shouting: "Don't mess around! Take up arms and resist! ”

Yelu Xiaoshi, who was commanding the war halfway up the hill, saw it, picked up a bowl of mouth-sized stones beside him and threw it down in the air and said, "Let you be noisy!" ”

The stone fell impartially on Jiagu's head, and he fell off his horse and fainted with a scream.

Not surprisingly, this group of golden soldiers was completely annihilated, this is Yelu Xiaoshi's consistent style, as long as the golden soldiers do not leave a living mouth. Now the strong captives are fragrant and sweet, and they are all tied up and sent to Taiwan, and other teams take the prisoners and ask for credit, but he doesn't want this credit. In his eyes, letting these animals live is simply an insult to human beings, and they are all killed.

The soldiers were cleaning up the battlefield when suddenly someone shouted: "Here's a living golden soldier!" ”

Immediately they went up and bound the man with their hands and feet, and brought him to Jerod Rock. This person is Jiagu to keep alive, he woke up in a daze, opened his mouth and scolded, and was dizzy by Yelu Xiaoshi's successive mouths, and he didn't dare to squeak anymore. Yelu Xiaoshi instructed a soldier who knew the truth to torture and kill him.

Wanyan Zonghan didn't dare to move forward, he knew that there were many obstacles ahead for him to overcome, but he didn't want to put all the cavalry in. Where the second prince is now, he doesn't know, and it's not wise to rush rashly. After talking about Yan Zongwang's opinion is different from his, he died just because he was in charge alone, and he did his best anyway, so he didn't need to die for him. Wanyan Zonghan ordered the troops to retreat back to Taiyuan, thinking that if it didn't work, he would withdraw to the country, and he couldn't let the two armies be planted in the Song realm.

The Song people at the north gate want to fill in the trenches.

After hearing the news, Yan Yinshu could immediately rush to the north gate, and sure enough, many Song people filled the trenches under the cover of the divine arm bow. Yinshu can order the archers of the golden soldiers to return fire, and specialize in shooting the Song people who fill the trenches. This strategy really worked, the arrows rained, and the Song people retreated. However, the Song people did not seem to be reconciled, and many people came out of the city gate and tried to fill the trench in another place. Several of them were pushing a cart with a thick wooden plank in front of it to avoid arrows. The silver technique can be seen to command the projectile, and in an instant, the arrows are dense and fall from the sky, and the Song people see this and pull the cart back.

Yinshu can be secretly happy, this method of locking Taiyuan City is quite effective, as long as the trench is strictly guarded, the Song people in Taiyuan City will not be able to rush out, starve them to death. Yinshu was too early to rejoice, and at this time, there was movement at the north gate, and more than a thousand teams went out of the city to set up crossbow beds and divine arm bows outside the range of the golden soldiers' bows and arrows. Yinshu can see that this posture orders the soldiers to retreat, these weapons of the Song Dynasty are the nightmare of the golden soldiers, he does not dare to let the flesh and blood block the powerful arrows.

At this time, hundreds of cars went out of the city, and in addition to blocking arrows with wooden planks like last time, many scarecrows were tied to the cars, especially the top of the cart people was protected with dense scarecrows to prevent the golden soldiers from throwing arrows. 90 look

Yinshu Ke's heart tightened: "Use the scarecrow to prevent arrows, use the scarecrow to fill the trench, the Song people are really cunning." But he had seen the strength of the Divine Arm Bow, and he quickly ordered all the archers and shieldmen of the East and West Gates to support the North Gate.

The golden soldiers were densely placed in front of the north gate for several rows of protection, and the shield soldiers tied three or four shields together for protection. The archers in the back were on standby, ready to burn the straw cart with rockets. There is no way to stop the filling of the trench, if you want to stop the filling of the trench, you have to enter the range of the Divine Arm Bow, and only the soldiers risk their lives to effectively stop the Song people from filling the trench, otherwise the straw on hundreds of vehicles can completely fill a section of the trench.

The Song people were not in a hurry to let the car move forward, but just shot a round with the Divine Arm Bow, and when they saw that the effect was not too good, they stopped firing, and the two sides confronted each other quietly. At this time, dozens of more people came out of the north gate, they were the artillery of the autonomous region, and they set up the light artillery within the expected range. These cannons were not used in the previous period of the siege of the city, not to mention the Jin soldiers, even the Song army did not know how powerful it was.

At the sound of an order, more than a dozen shells fell in the group of golden archers, and the explosion caused a riot.

Shoot far, and the target is the shield soldier.

The artillery adjusted the angle and fired again, this time half of the shells fell in the shield soldiers, and the flesh and blood around the explosion were flying, and someone immediately stepped forward to pick up the shield and make up for it. The other guns quickly adjusted their angles, and then a dozen guns fired several rounds in a row, and stopped firing when they saw that the barrels were hot.

The dense gold soldiers increased the power of the cannonballs, and the shield soldiers exploded into a pot of porridge, but they did not dare to flee due to the military order. They looked at the dead bodies and the wounded and howling soldiers around them, and they were terrified, and prayed in fear that they would not be next.

The artillery fire stopped, the Divine Arm Bow began to fire, and the golden soldiers, who had no shield protection, were enveloped by arrows again. They hurriedly picked up the shield protection, and after a while, the golden soldiers formed several protective shields, which were obviously sparser than just now.

At this time, the straw carts were moving slowly, and Yinshu Ke wanted to retreat, but now he couldn't do it, so he had to burn these straw carts. He ordered the East and West Gates to redeploy troops to defend the North Gate with all their might.

The Jin soldiers were divided into troops, and there were heavy troops at the four gates of Taiyuan City, but the shield soldiers and archers of the east and west gates were transferred, and later part of the team was transferred, and now the soldiers here are almost the wounded soldiers and the old and weak soldiers, and the defense is the weakest.

Two armies of 2,000 cavalry came out of the east and west gates, and went to the trench to shoot arrows, and the golden soldiers, who had no shields and archers, could only dodge from a distance. Behind the cavalry were the people carrying long, thick planks, which they took the opportunity to erect on both sides of the trench, and in a moment temporary wooden bridges were erected, and the cavalry passed along the bridge.

The old, weak, sick and disabled who stayed behind were the opponents of the cavalry, and they all took the road and fled, and the cavalry pursued and killed, and drove some of the golden soldiers who ran up to the south gate. The goal of the cavalry coming out of the east and west gates was to flank the defenders of the south gate in front and rear, break them up, and then enter the city through the south gate.

The Jin soldiers at the south gate were arrayed at the edge of the trench, staring at the Song army in the same array with wide eyes, the two sides were tense and confrontational, no one dared to move forward again, and if they advanced again, they would enter the range of bows and arrows. Behind the Song army were many people carrying wooden planks, and it was obvious that when the Song army charged, the people looked for planes to erect wooden bridges.

Suddenly, dust was flying on both sides, and Ye Buli, the guard of the south gate, received information that a large number of Song cavalry attacked from both sides. Where did the Song cavalry come from? The east and west gates were lost, or did the Song army reinforcements arrive? Jebu calmed himself down and ordered his infantry to quickly change formation to meet the enemy.

The Jin soldiers were originally lined up in several long lines to prevent the Song army from rushing through the trenches, but now that there are cavalry on both sides, they must change their formations in time, otherwise the long line is suitable for cavalry charges. Seeing that the cavalry was approaching, the Song army lined up outside the south gate began to charge, they ran forward and shot arrows, and some of the Jin soldiers had to shoot at the Song army in front of the trench.

The Jin people have been using cavalry to attack the infantry of the Song army, so they feel that the Song army is vulnerable, and today the position is reversed, and they feel that the infantry of the Song army is much stronger than the infantry of the Jin people.

Indeed, the infantry phalanx and circular formation of the Song Dynasty paid attention to the cooperation of various arms, including heavy armor soldiers, pikemen, sword and shield soldiers, and archers to defend and attack together, and the Song army had long-term training, and the infantry formation was very complete. As long as the army is firm, it can completely fight against the Jurchen cavalry, but now most of the generals in the army have fled, who is willing to use their lives, so there are more defeats and fewer victories. In addition, the military law of the Song army was not strict, and the generals who escaped were only demoted, so they also developed the theory that some generals first ran away desperately, and then ran desperately for officials, and had silver to be promoted. Like in the battle of Song Liao Yanyun, Tong Guan fled to the ground, not to mention the other generals under him.
