Chapter 283: The main force is at odds

A brown war horse climbed the small hill, the scout turned over and dismounted, and knelt down after galloping to Yan Zonghan's horse: "Report to Your Highness, there is a hard battle ahead!" The 20,000 iron cavalry, 5,000 cavalry archers and 30,000 cavalry of General Wanyan Lou have converged, and the strength of the enemy and us is equal, and the 25,000 cavalry of General Wanyan Yinshuke have rushed to help, but the enemy's infantry of 40,000 has been pressed by the whole army and is fighting to the death with our army! Its array is strong and unshakable! The Chinese army has also all gone into battle! Our army has suffered heavy casualties, with nearly 40,000 dead and wounded! ”

Wanyan Zonghan nodded slightly: "How is the movement of the Song army's reinforcements?" ”

"The Song army reinforcements have not yet been detected, and now the main force of the Song army has all entered the battlefield, with a total of 10,000 cavalry and 40,000 infantry, and the leader of this army is Zhang Shuye, the Xuanfu envoy of Hebei and Hedong, and our scouts have seen his banner."

"Getuken, you are the most capable person in my personal guard, 55,000 people with heavy casualties, plus 25,000 cavalry of Wanyan Yinshuke, against 50,000 Song army cavalry, what are the odds of victory?" Wanyan Zonghan turned his head to look at a guard named Getuken and asked.

"There is no chance of victory, and the remaining cavalry must be urged to fight at once." Getuken replied, "If anyone wants to preserve their strength when the catastrophe in Taiyuan City is imminent, His Highness should cut off their heads!" ”

"At the beginning of the founding of Emperor Taizu, in the face of the 270,000 army of the Liao State, the major families left with their populations and warriors, and Taizu had no way to force them, so he could only rely on 10,000 people to fight to the death with the Liao army. What Taizu couldn't do back then, I can't do it now. Wanyan Zonghan said lightly, "But there are some things that I can still do." ”

"What's the matter?" Getulken was stunned.

Wanyan Zonghan slowly drew his sword from the saddle: "Your Majesty handed over his elite cavalry to me, now I will take them to rush down this hillside, and soon we will enter the battlefield and face the main force of the Song army." You go and tell Zongwang, go and tell the generals, tell them that I have broken through! If they don't want to be accused of 'treason', follow me!" ”

"Master!" Getuken didn't care about etiquette, stepped forward on his horse, and spread his arms in front of Wanyan Zonghan's horse, "Master, don't be impulsive!" ”

Wanyan Zonghan looked straight into Getuken's eyes, his eyes calm and determined. Suddenly, he raised his hand and struck it loudly and forcefully in Getulken's face.

Getuken was stunned, Lerma took a few steps back, covered his hot cheeks, and looked at Wanyan Zonghan in a daze.

Wanyan Zonghan's eyes were still calm: "Getuken, in your eyes, is your master so cowardly?" Take this mark on your face and show it to every general, and tell them, don't stand in the way of my horse's head! ”

"Master......" Getuken looked at Yan Zonghan blankly, "That demon...... The demon hasn't appeared yet! ”

Wanyan Zonghan waved his long knife fiercely, looked down at the earth against the long wind, and tightened the reins of the war horse: "Getuken, I said in the Golden Horde that this time I would let the Song people bury their bones under the walls of Taiyuan City." Do you think my determination is just talking? I've been looking forward to the day when the entire Wanyan Department will see my determination to destroy the enemy! ”

He looked up at the sky and whispered, "Uncle, I have to prove to you that you chose me in the end, and you were not wrong!" ”

He shook the reins of the war horse and whipped it on the horse's neck, the northland horse neighed and stood up, Wanyan Zonghan straightened his body and raised his knife to the air. Behind him, a samurai shook off the banner.

"Master, don't try hard!" Getuken's voice was terrified.

Wanyan Zonghan showed his banner, which was equivalent to telling the 50,000 Song people who wanted to kill him that the commander of the Jin army was on this battlefield.

"The Song people who want to kill me...... Just let them come! Wanyan Zonghan casually snatched the banner from the samurai behind him.

The horse's two front hooves fell, and its hind legs staggered forward and leaped out of the hillside, followed by the samurai who guarded him with his sword. Getulken watched in amazement as the cavalry unit rushed down in smoke and dust, and the banner fluttered.

At this moment, both warring sides have put their main forces into the battle, but on the east side of the battlefield, there are still 28,000 Iron Harrier cavalry of the Jin Army still ready to go. The second prince, Wanyan Zongwang, stood under the banner and looked at the west calmly, and a personal entourage sent by Wanyan Zonghan was immediately beside him, and his face was flushed with anxiety. He thought that Wanyan Zongwang was the first person to rescue the eldest prince, but he didn't expect that after all the cavalry was dispatched, Wanyan Zongwang still ordered to stand by.

The news of Wanyan Zonghan rushing into the battle formation did not shock Wanyan Zongwang, and when he heard it, he smiled faintly.

"Getuken, don't worry, that's my brother, but also my coach, how can I be indifferent when he is in danger." Wanyan Zongwang put his hands behind his back and paced slowly in the strong wind, "But you know a leading general, his judgment of the battlefield is beyond doubt. It seems to me that the time is not yet ripe for our army to go to war, so even if His Majesty orders it, my iron cavalry will not move even a single warhorse. ”

"That'...... What kind of timing does His Second Highness need? ”

"Do you know what the nature of the bow and arrow is?" Wanyan Zongwang smiled slightly and looked at Getuken.

Getulken was stunned.

"The temperament of the bow and arrow is to kill the enemy with one shot! Every time I led a soldier in my life, when I appeared on the battlefield myself, it was the end of this battle! Wanyan Zongwang patted Getuken's war horse vigorously, "So, when I order my iron cavalry to go into battle, their swords will cleanse the entire battlefield, these 50,000 Song men will die, and the last military accumulation of the Song Kingdom will be erased in an instant." ”

He waved his hand to the west: "My blow will end this war once and for all!" ”

"And at that moment," he said word for word, "it was coming!" ”

The shield array of the infantry of the Song army made the charge of the cavalry of the Jin army lose at least half of its power, and the speed of the war horse gallop was not enough, and once the two sides engaged, they could not be separated, so they could only take the horse to swing the knife and slash face to face. Tens of thousands of people mingled on the smoke-filled battlefield, the uniforms of the two armies were not easy to separate, the battle flags could no longer play the role of command, and every samurai was slashing with all his might to survive. The battlefield was filled with the smell of blood, and the corpses of men and horses were everywhere.

The general of the Song army was undoubtedly a calm and fierce man, and in the melee he still organized several heavy cavalry assaults, cutting off the tens of thousands of cavalry of the Jin army, and each piece of thousands of cavalry fought on its own, and Yan Zonghan's orders could no longer be delivered to them.

Wanyan Yinshu's heart was full of uneasiness and anger. Since the rush into the battlefield, his cavalry has been wearing out, and several other generals have also led their troops to join the battle, but Wanyan Zongwang has not moved.
