Chapter 272: Pig Burst 1
No Jurchen Bo Ji Lie would think that this battle could not be won.
But they were very worried that they would run out of rations before they won the war.
If that were the case, they would have had to withdraw their troops.
Bearing the cost of the depletion of the treasury, the whole division went out to fight, but failed to win the ......, and Dajin, which was originally violently pinched together with Wanyan as the core, is likely to fall apart because of this.
This is a loss that Daikin cannot afford.
Therefore, it is necessary to break through the defense line of the Qingzhou army as soon as possible, rush into the hinterland of Qi Province and plunder it, so that the nobles below will have more benefits.
Only in this way will Daikin be able to sustain itself.
Wanyan Zongbi was different from his murderous brothers, and his political acumen was more acute than his military command ability, so the fourth Jurchen prince very much agreed with Wanyan Xianye's decision.
It's time to make up your mind.
Even if more people die, they have to break through as soon as possible!
Five-day !!
……
Knock knock!
The Jurchen war drums sounded again behind the shield car formation.
They don't intend to, and can't continue to procrastinate.
Unlike the previous practice of putting cannon fodder in front, this time, the most combat-ready True Jurchen and Sheng-Jurchen were deployed at the forefront of the offensive midline, while the traitors and slaves with little combat power were deployed on the two wings.
Meng'an Mouke went to the front line to lead the team in person, each of them was extremely vigorous, and even Wan Yan Xian was also directly behind the shield car, and they were divided to command nearby.
Everything is just like the deployment of the Jin army under the command of Jin Taizu when the Jin army charged to the death in the battle of Hubu Dagang more than ten years ago.
The only difference is that in the Battle of Hubu Dagang, the Liao army was assaulted by the Jin army on the way to retreat due to civil strife, and the current enemy is far more resolute than the Liao army at that time.
In addition, this unfortunate terrain made it completely impossible to use cavalry to charge, and the Jin army could only use armored soldiers to assault on foot.
Fortunately, for more than ten years, the fact that the Han armed forces have won all battles has given the Jin army confidence that the whole army will win.
Generally speaking, troops with the belief that they will win will always be able to exert stronger combat effectiveness beyond the ordinary.
After the sound of the three drums, the roar of the waves suddenly broke out on the starting position of the Jin army, and tens of thousands of Jin soldiers raised their chins like wolves, shouting at the sky.
Xu Shiyang stood on a high place, looking ahead in surprise, and after a while, he realized what it meant that the Jin Army suddenly burst out with such momentum.
"Is this going to be all in?" Xu Shiyang muttered to himself.
"My lord, what do you mean?" Li Kui, who was guarding him, asked curiously.
"It's going to be a decisive battle."
Xu Shiyang is not in the mood to popularize English for people, and his ideal is that this plane will never have to popularize the language of outsiders in the future.
Besides, now is not the time to talk about such idle things.
"Inform the whole army and prepare for battle." Xu Shiyang ordered: "Defend according to the previous deployment, withstand this wave, and we will win!" ”
Ahead, after the sound of the three-way drum, the tide of Jurchen armored soldiers poured into the unfilled communication trenches, and spread forward along the spider-web-like passages that extended in all directions—through actual combat performance and interrogation of prisoners, the Tartars also realized that the best way to avoid the cannon was not to use shield carts to carry them to death, but to dig tunnels to advance.
Because the shells bounce on the ground, the probability of a direct hit on the pit is low.
Moreover, even if it hits, the narrow tunnel wall can absorb a lot of damage, and at most two or three people will be killed.
This is much better than fighting in a formation and being beaten out of a flesh alley by an iron ball.
If it were elsewhere, the Jurchens simply did not have the ability to dig a trench to send the troops safely to the opposite side.
But now, the trench originally existed between the two armies, and it would be good to use it directly.
"The trenches they dug out themselves to resist the pursuit of our Dajin soldiers have become a sharp weapon to counteract their greatest reliance."
Wanyan Zongbi sneered and said:
"I really want to know what Xu Shiyang's expression is when he knows this."
"Catch him and you'll know." Wanyan Zongbi said in an indifferent tone.
In fact, Wanyan Zongbi felt that he might not be able to catch Xu Shiyang, judging from the current situation, that guy would probably lead his pro-army to fight back desperately at the moment of defeat, or simply commit suicide, right?
The southerners are not without such hard bones.
……
The Ulu howled and followed behind his master, and rushed straight down the oppressive, narrow trench.
At the front of their line were a few armoured soldiers with large shields, which they could only replace without the cover of the shield cart.
Behind Fang Dun were elite veterans like Mok and Ulu, and novices were instead lined up at the back.
Ulu knew that this meant that the masters of Bo Jilie had made up their minds that this attack was a decisive battle, and it was impossible to collect troops without breaking through the position of the Qingzhou thieves.
That's why this kind of pig assault formation led by officers and veterans will be used.
It's really a pig, exactly the same as the wild boar in the mountains and forests of Liaodong's hometown - bow your head, show your fangs, no matter what is in front of you, just hit it headlong.
It's a pity that this time the enemy is too cunning.
The Mouk to which the Ulu belonged plunged into another trench along the communication trench, huddled together with another nearby Mouk.
The trench, which can only accommodate 2 or 3 people in parallel, poured in hundreds of people, and everyone was under military orders, and they didn't dare to stop, so they were congested together!
This is probably the first traffic jam in the world, or a pedestrian jam .......
If Ulu was also a traveler, he would probably be able to recall the scenes when he traveled to various scenic spots during the holidays.
Dressed in armor, the bloated armoured soldier was crowded from person to person, moving forward inch by inch, and Urus doubted that even if he lifted his feet, his companions in front and behind would be able to carry him forward.
Some people slashed the soldiers in front of them with scabbards, urging them to hurry up or make way out, but they couldn't wave their raised arms - not because they loved soldiers like children, but because there was no room for an arm between people.
The pig that was originally imposing suddenly became extremely embarrassed.
Some of them could not stand this scene and climbed out of the trench to assault from above, only to find that they could not go ten paces further before they were confronted with a trench in front of them.
Some of the trenches were crowded together as before, while others were empty......
The Qingzhou soldiers behind the breastwork line did not pay attention to the struggling enemy in the trenches, but concentrated their fire on these unobstructed Tartar armor soldiers.
Wooden cannons and muskets spewed out a large amount of lead, constantly harvesting the lives of these people, and the clusters of arrows fired by the combined bow also joined in the fun, and many people just showed their heads and fell back into the trench silently.
These scattered gold soldiers were completely unable to pose a threat to the breastwork.
