Chapter 333: South of Enzhou
"Fourth Prince Qiqi, the Han cavalry is gathering in a big way!" I saw that the dozen or so Jurchen soldiers ran to the city wall, and they knelt down one after another, and one of the Jurchen soldiers said.
"What? The cavalry of the Han people is massing in a big way? After hearing the news, Jin Wushu was overjoyed!
They are about to deal with the Han cavalry, but the grassland is vast, and the Han cavalry is distributed everywhere, and it is not easy for them to recruit the main force of the Han people! At this moment, how can you not be happy when you hear the news of the large-scale gathering of the Han cavalry?
"Let's talk about how many Han cavalry there are first!" Han Chang next to him calmed down and said.
"About thirty or forty thousand!" Jurchen soldiers said.
"Thirty or forty thousand cavalry? It seems that the main forces of the Han people have indeed gathered! Where are they now? How far is it from Eunju City? "Golden Vulture Dao.
"They gathered outside a dirt city in the south, about eighty miles away! We've been all the way back, and they seem to be heading north, and now it's not too far away! The Jurchen soldier said.
"Quick! Immediately order the army to assemble and go south! Completely wipe out the Han cavalry! Jin Wushu was overjoyed and gave the order immediately.
This Enzhou City is just a small city, and the city walls are only three or four meters high, which is not enough to resist the attack at all! Moreover, Jin Wushu did not intend to defend the city at all, he wanted to wipe out all the Han cavalry on the plain.
Now the 180,000 Jurchen army is in Enzhou City, and their grain and grass are all in Enzhou City.
Of the 180,000 troops under the command of Jin Wushu, 30,000 were composed of pure Jurchens, 50,000 were composed of the savage Jurchens they captured, and the remaining 100,000 were new vassals composed of Khitans.
At this moment, the golden vulture order was issued, and the 30,000 Jurchens were the first to get up, and they rode on their war horses and had already begun to assemble. The 50,000 savage Jurchens also began to gather, but the 100,000 Khitans were struggling.
Most of these Khitans were ordinary Khitan people before, they lived a miserable life, and their physical fitness was far inferior to those Jurchens and savage Jurchens. Moreover, as a conquered people, they now want to fight for the Jurchens, and they are also very resistant in their hearts. In addition, after they joined the new annex, there was little formal training. It was very difficult to get them together for a while.
Seeing that the Jurchens and savage Jurchens had gathered, and the new Khitan annexed army was still grinding, Jin Wushu was furious at the moment.
He led a thousand soldiers to rush into the city of Enzhou, and when he saw that there were Khitans left in the city, he immediately slashed forward! The soldiers around him shot at the Khitans in the city with bows and arrows, driving the Khitans out!
It took two hours, and it was almost noon, when the 180,000-strong army was assembled.
The discipline of the Jurchens is the strictest, although the discipline of the savage Jurchens is not as good as that of the pure Jurchens, but the body is strong, and the whole team has an indescribable wild atmosphere, as for the new annex army composed of those Khitans, they have almost no morale and little combat effectiveness.
"Tell those lowly Khitans that if this battle is won, I can add one meal to them every day! So that they can eat enough every day! Jin Wushu looked at those new Khitan annexes, thought about it, and spoke.
Now the new Khitan annex army can only eat one meal a day, and this meal is not full.
After a while, Jin Wushu's order reached the new Khitan annex army, and the 100,000 new Khitan annex troops cheered, and it seemed that their morale was much better than before.
"An army of 180,000 is invincible in the world, and it is really overkill to destroy only 30,000 or 40,000 Han people! Give the order to go down and go south at once! Jin Wushu laughed.
******
Whether it was the former Liao State or the current Jin State is a place to produce horses, in history, when Yan Liang went south to conquer the south, he even had 700,000 war horses, and the current Jin State was just established for more than ten years, but they inherited all the assets of the Liao people, and also owned hundreds of thousands of war horses. Now the 180,000 troops under Jin Wushu are all cavalry.
Jin Wushu personally led 30,000 Jurchens to rush to the front, Han Chang led 50,000 savage Jurchens as the left army, and Wuyan Puluhun, another general under Jin Wushu, led 100,000 new Khitan annexed troops as the right army.
The army marched forward, the grassland was open, and the golden vulture rushed to the front, and his heart was extremely excited.
"This time when I go south, I will definitely surpass Zong Han, Zong Wang and others and become the first person in my Jurchen! If I hadn't been delayed in Shangjing before, I would have led my troops south! Datong has long been taken back by me! ”
"Now I'll defeat these tens of thousands of Han cavalry first! The Han people have also changed a lot over the years, and they even have cavalry! But they're still too different from us! We Jurchens are the greatest race in heaven and on earth, and the Han people are not worth mentioning! ”
"After these cavalry are eliminated, I will recapture Datong, conquer Guanshan, seize Jiangnan, and dominate the world!"
The sun was fiery red, and Jin Wushu simply took off his clothes and galloped on his horse shirtless, with an excited smile on his face, laughing constantly!
"Sons, follow me and kill all the Han people!" The Golden Vulture laughed.
The Jurchen army behind laughed together.
The 180,000 army galloped forward, and the ranks slowly dispersed, and the front army of Jin Wushu was seven or eight miles away from the left and right armies of Han Chang, Wuyan Puluhun and others, but the distance of seven or eight miles was nothing for the cavalry.
It wasn't until the sun went down that they saw the main force of the Han people!
It's just that they see only 10,000 people, not 30,000 or 40,000!
Liu Qi was leading 10,000 cavalry on a high slope at the moment, and when he saw the Jurchen cavalry in the distance, Liu Qi's cavalry seemed to be frightened and immediately went into the distance.
The Jurchen cavalry was even more excited when they saw Liu Qi's army fleeing, and they headed towards Gaopo together, but when they came to half of Gaopo, Liu Qi's 10,000 cavalry returned again.
They rushed down the high slopes!
"There are only 10,000 Han Chinese! Although it occupies a favorable position, it is by no means our opponent! Destroy these 10,000 Han people! The Han Chinese, the weakest race in the world, are vulnerable! I was amazed that they dared to attack us! Haha, this is a slightly braver Han than other Han people! The Golden Vulture laughed.
Over the years, Guan Shaanxi has kept coming news of the Jurchen defeat, but Jin Wushu is not willing to believe these news at all! According to his judgment, there was only one reason why the Jurchens in Guanshan were defeated - the intrigues of the Han people! And there are only more than 10,000 Han people in front of him, according to their information, all the Han people within a thousand miles around will not add up to 40,000! The grassland is empty, and the intrigues of the Han people cannot be carried out at all, in this case, strength is the most important, they will definitely be able to defeat the Han people!
"Rush!" Jin Wushu rushed to the front, he had already seen the Han people in front of him, and he slashed forward with a knife.
In the flash of the sword, the Han man fell in a pool of blood.
It's just that the Han people rushed down from above and occupied a certain advantage, and not every Jurchen person was as martial as Jin Wushu!
Under the impact of these 10,000 Han people, the cavalry under Jin Wushu began to harass at all!
However, more cavalry swept over from both flanks!
"Humph! See what you do? Kill 10,000 of you first! The Golden Vulture laughed!
Seeing that it was about to fall into encirclement, but the 10,000 Han cavalry still had no one to retreat! They're still struggling to move forward!
The encirclement is getting smaller and smaller......
******
Zhang Zongyan is on the grassland ten miles away in the south at the moment, the afterglow of the setting sun is shining on him, and he is listening to the movement ten miles away!
"The Jurchen army is about to surround General Liu! Follow me, rush! ”
At this moment, the remaining 30,000 cavalry under Liu Qi are here.
Suddenly, the sound of galloping horses rang out!
30,000 cavalry, they divided into three roads, paved a long line, and headed towards the high slope in the north!
Soon, they came to the slope and rushed down it.
The earth-shattering shouts of killing rang out again, and the Jurchen army was in chaos.
The sky was getting dark, and the cavalry of the Huanqing Army and the Jurchen cavalry were fighting endlessly on the grassland!
Although at the beginning, the Huanqing army took advantage of a certain advantage by virtue of its geographical advantage and strategy, but after all, they only had 40,000 people, and the number of Jurchens reached 180,000.
Most of the Huanqing Army began to evacuate at this moment!
They headed southwest, occasionally stopping to fight the Jurchen army for a while, but each time the time for the battle was very limited, and soon they would head southwest again.
Most of them were light cavalry, so they were much faster than the Jurchen army! Often, they stopped at the front, and it took a while for the Jurchen army to catch up! At this time, they will use bows and arrows to cover their shots, and when the Jurchens rush in, they will continue to move forward! Sometimes, they even advanced with large armies, but small detachments of troops launched a surprise attack on the Jurchens on the flanks.
Such tactics are obviously superior to those of the Jurchens!
Since the Jurchens started their army, although they have also been mainly cavalry, they have all charged and killed head-on, and there are few such light cavalry harassment strategies!
However, the Jurchen army was too numerous, and although the Huanqing army dealt a certain blow to them, the blow was limited, and the power of Allah was still basically intact.
The Golden Vulture was furious to the extreme.
