Chapter 415: Plotting to fight again
In this battle, Feng Yi led 150,000 wolf cavalry, accounting for almost half of the wolf cavalry in Suiyang City.
At this time, the night attack plan achieved a preliminary victory, and he personally led the 100,000 wolf cavalry under his command, preparing to carry out the final blow to the retreating Song army, so as to resolve the threat of the Chen and Song coalition forces to Suiyang City.
However, the Song army in the southern and northern wars was not a native chicken, and before the battle, he was fully prepared to deal with the sudden attack of the Song army, and did not encounter much pressure.
On another battlefield, the wolf cavalry death squad led by Zhang Tiesheng successfully destroyed the machinery and equipment of the Song army, but when they retreated, they encountered difficulties.
Cao Kun was ordered to take tens of thousands of crossbow battalion soldiers to prepare to rescue the combat equipment burned by the wolf cavalry in the blazing fire, but he was attacked head-on by the wolf cavalry led by Zhang Tiesheng.
Before the war, the wolf cavalry army held a nameless flame in its belly, but at this moment, this nameless flame was all transferred to the Song army, and in the middle of the night, it attacked inexplicably, and brought great casualties to the Chen and Song coalition forces.
Therefore, without waiting for Zhang Tiesheng to lead the wolf cavalry to rush up, Cao Kun's eyes were bloodshot, and he quickly ordered the crossbow battalion brothers to block the wolf cavalry who were about to take advantage of the situation to evacuate.
Suddenly, even if they were attacked by the wolf cavalry army continuously, the combat quality of the Song army soldiers was very high, and the combat experience was no less than that of the Liang army.
The reason why this unit is called the Repeater Battalion, as the name suggests, is famous for its powerful crossbow soldiers. The Song State is located in the east, very few war horses, at the beginning, in order to deal with the cavalry from the north of the Jin State, so vigorously train crossbowmen, and later with the rise of the Song Army Mechanical Corps, even the crossbowmen in the hands of the crossbowmen have also changed their faces, a new look.
These well-trained, experienced blood and fire experience of the Song soldiers, the crossbows in their hands are similar to the crossbows held by the crossbowmen in the mechanical legion, they are all serial crossbows, which can be fired continuously, shooting faster and farther.
Specializing in dealing with cavalry, it is the natural nemesis of cavalry. Therefore, before the wolf cavalry rushed over, the soldiers of the crossbow battalion were already in full array, with three layers inside and three layers outside, forming an impenetrable combat formation and launching a fierce attack.
Suddenly, a dense rain of arrows poured out in the air, falling on the wolf cavalry, which was a big blood hole in the thumb, and sometimes, the shot hit the vital part, and the wolf cavalry died tragically on the spot.
The arrow feathers of the Song Kingdom are slightly different from the arrow feathers of the vassal states, the arrows are larger, but they are extremely slender, therefore, after touching the arrow, they will suddenly submerge into the body of the injured person, and they will often come into contact with the flesh and bones, move slightly, and be miserable, and the feeling of the arrow touching the bones seems to be more cruel than Ling Chi.
Looking at the wolf cavalry in front of him falling in the rain of arrows of the Song army, Zhang Tiesheng felt heartache and regret, although the 50,000 wolf cavalry under his command were all soldiers who dared to die, but the tragic death of the Song army in vain under the rain of arrows is really embarrassing.
What's more, the members of the death squad completed the attack on the Song Army's mechanized legion, and there was no need to continue to die.
It's a pity that the Song Army's crossbow battalion is really powerful, and when a rain of arrows hits, there is almost no trace of staying, he knows that the Song Army's crossbow is powerful, but it can be overwhelming, and the crushing arrow rain can't stand it at all.
From time to time, the wolf cavalry lost more than half of it, and even Zhang Tiesheng himself was shot by the arrow rain, and he was reluctantly avoided the arrow rain of the Liang army, and he was still panting.
At the same time, the Song army, which had lost its chariot, also took the opportunity to attack the legions under Zhang Tiesheng's command, attacking from both sides, which really made the situation of the wolf cavalry extremely bad.
Feng Yi, who was chasing the camp from afar, saw Zhang Tiesheng's situation, and did not help, on the contrary, he pursued Meng Kuo closely, in his opinion, in this battle, even if he lost Zhang Tiesheng's 50,000 wolf cavalry army, he captured Meng Kuo, and this war was still a complete victory for the Liang army.
Meng Kuo is the commander of the Song army, no matter how strong the Song army is, losing Meng Kuo is no different from losing the head wolf pack, resulting in a leaderless situation, and then cleaning up the Song army, things are much simpler.
Therefore, Zhang Tiesheng's current outfit can only be resigned to fate. Meng Kuo also noticed the situation here, on the contrary, he quickly moved in the direction of the crossbow camp to eliminate the wolf cavalry led by Zhang Tiesheng, so far, it is only a matter of time before there is no accident.
When he went to the side of the crossbow camp, if Feng Yi dared to continue the pursuit, it would be a good time for the Song army to counterattack.
Seeing this, Feng Yi saw the soldiers of the crossbow battalion who were waiting for the battle, and suddenly hesitated in his heart, and the speed of the pursuit slowed down slightly.
The power of the repeater is too great, not to mention, the crossbow battalion of the Song Kingdom has already achieved unexpected results tonight, if it continues to pursue and is shot by the repeater battalion, it will be too much to lose.
Looking at Zhang Tiesheng, Feng Yi was a little helpless, if he didn't continue to attack, and didn't rescue the death squad led by Zhang Tiesheng, it would definitely seriously affect the enthusiasm of the wolf cavalry army, Feng Yi shouted: "The whole army launched an attack to rescue General Zhang" After all, Zhang Tiesheng's troops are the dare to die in the wolf cavalry army, all of them are loyal and patriotic, and when they go to war, giving up on them will make the wolf cavalry feel cold, and at the same time, he will also be criticized by Emperor Liang.
Suddenly, Feng Yi personally pursued the soldiers of the trapped camp led by Meng Kuo, but he became cautious and directly interspersed from the left flank, hoping to reduce casualties, and at the same time quickly take away the wolf cavalry under Zhang Tiesheng, and then, the two armies of Song and Liang fell into an endless war.
At dawn, the Song army camp returned to calm, but it was a mess, the tattered tent was still burning with flames, the burned black chariot was still emitting light smoke, the whole camp was full of smoke, the corpses were all over, layer upon layer, there were left by the wolf cavalry when they retreated, and there were also those left by the Song army in the war, for a while, the Song army camp seemed to become a grave.
In the billowing smoke, many disabled soldiers of the Song army supported each other and went to a free place to recuperate. Those soldiers who were lucky enough to be unhindered were cleaning up the battlefield.
In this battle, from the fierce battle at night to midnight, it is difficult to determine how many casualties the Song army suffered at present, but there is no doubt that the Song army's grain and grass battalion and machinery and equipment were all burned by the wolf cavalry, and for a short time, they fell into a passive state.
Meng Kuo and Cao Kun stood in the center of the camp, looking at the camp where the fire had not yet been extinguished.
According to the plan, it is not surprising that at this moment, it should be he who led the Song army to attack Suiyang City, and now, after a night of fierce fighting, he can only appease the Song soldiers first and stick to the camp.
No one will understand the suffering, one night, just one night, the situation of the Song and Liang armies has undergone earth-shaking changes.
If nothing else is done, if food is not obtained quickly, the Song army will fall into a starvation crisis.
Moreover, there are many wounded who urgently need medical attention, otherwise they will be too seriously injured and will not die on the battlefield, but they will die of illness.
"General, what should we do next, we suffered heavy losses last night, and we must find ways to solve it quickly" Cao Kun stood on Meng Kuo's left side and said in an anxious tone.
Last night's losses cannot be blamed for the incompetence of the Song army generals, let alone the patrol soldiers for taking it lightly, it is really that the Liang army came too suddenly, too fast, and fully prepared, attacking it with fire, almost grasping all the weaknesses of the Song army.
The Liang army attacked, and the Song army was unprepared, so it fell into a passive situation everywhere. Cao Kun said this because he knew how much the Song army lost last night, except for the trapping camp and being strangled by the wolf cavalry army, the mechanical army and the crossbow battalion soldiers did not lose much, but the food and equipment of the mechanical army were all buried in the fire, and almost all the most elite troops of the Song army were lost.
When Meng Kuo heard this, he took a deep breath, and his heart was extremely melancholy, Feng Yi, it was all Feng Yi who broke all the plans in his heart.
At this moment, he had a nameless anger that wanted to burst out of his heart, but he couldn't vent it for no reason.
sighed and said: "Near Suiyang City, where is there a granary in Liang Country, or a big family" At this moment, a few traces of bandit energy emerged from Meng Kuo's body.
The Song army has lost a lot, to the mountain area for help, it takes at least ten days to go back and forth, the Song army can not hold on for ten days, at present, that is, the Liang army burned the Song army's grain and grass camp, he also wants the Liang army not to be peaceful.
Grabbing grain, snatching grain from the Liang army, may become the only way for the Song army to quickly obtain grain at present.
When Cao Kun heard this, he said in astonishment: "General, you are going to let your brothers grab food, will this violate the rules of the army" There is no rule strictly prohibiting robbery in the Song army, but there is no habit of robbery.
At this moment, when Meng Kuo mentioned the robbery, he couldn't help but be a little worried, for fear of being blamed or punished by the empress, after all, Meng Kuo's doing this might set off a precedent for the robbery of the Song army.
Meng Kuo smiled bitterly: "Outside, the king's order is not subject to it, not to mention, there is no grain in the Song army's camp, where do hundreds of thousands of Song soldiers get three meals a day, robbery, even if it violates the laws of the Song State, I must support it ruthlessly." Otherwise, there would be a famine among hundreds of thousands of Song troops, and the responsibility on my shoulders would be even greater. Cao Kun noticed that Meng Kuo had made up his mind, and sighed, no one wanted to violate the king's law and bury his military career, and said in a heavy tone: "General, if you want to grab food, you must go to Linyou County, although it is not a rich place, there are also many families, if you are lucky, you will definitely grab enough food." Meng Kuo nodded, and said earnestly: "Cao Kun, this matter is related to the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in the Song army, you do it yourself, I am more assured, and at the same time, the recent repair is a few days, ready to counterattack Suiyang City"
"General, without mechanical equipment, continue to attack the city, the Song army will definitely suffer great losses, and the Liang army has just won, the momentum is like a rainbow, and the storm on Suiyang City is afraid that it will be blocked by Feng Yi, and the last general will not dare to imagine the ending." Cao Kun was surprised by Meng Kuo's words again.
Now, the Song army has no food, and it is about to be hungry, and the soldiers of the three armies are panicking, at this moment, is it really appropriate to attack Suiyang City Cao Kun, as the deputy general of Meng Kuo, has never seen Meng Kuo so crazy.
