Chapter 275: Riding on foot
In the midst of the Jin Army's cavalry formation, a Ming Di flew into the sky, emitting a piercing scream.
At the same time that the Jin army's cavalry archers shot the first arrow, the Song army's divine arm bow was launched.
The strings of tens of thousands of crossbows converged into one, terrifying, and along with the sound of this string, there was a rain of arrows in the sky.
The Jin army that rushed to the front instantly overturned on their backs and fell down, but the cavalry behind jumped over the dead corpse and continued to rush forward.
Although the Jin army suffered heavy casualties in this round of arrow rain of the Song army, with his experience, as long as he can withstand the Song people's arrow rain to approach and crush the front army battle formation of the Song army's infantry, so that the Chinese army battle array is exposed to the Jin army's iron cavalry, the Song army will inevitably collapse quickly.
This is what he did the last time Wanyan Huonu defeated the seed master, and the famous general of the Song State was wiped out in this battle, and he himself died under the Jin saber.
The Jin army continued to frantically attack, the cavalry archers continued to shoot sharp arrows at the Song army, at this time the Song army infantry had already erected a strong shield, the Jin army's arrow rain was mostly blocked by the size of the Song army's shields, but there were still a lot of arrows from the gap in the shield array, many Song army infantry arrows, screaming and falling, but every time a person fell, someone rushed up to fill the gap.
Seeing that Song Jun's performance this time was completely different from before, there was a faint feeling of bad feeling in the heart of the beautiful girl.
The Song army's divine arm bow shot out of the arrow rain again, and the Jin army fell down like mowing grass, but the Jin army cavalry still kept letting go, some cavalry archers kept shooting arrows at the Song army, and some people crouched on horseback against the arrow rain and shot at the Song army.
As the distance approached, the Wanyan Living Girl who was caught in the middle of the troops and charged forward could even see the faces of many Song Army infantry showing fear, and couldn't help but sneer.
But at this moment, accompanied by the shouts of the generals of the Song army, the infantry of the Song army raised their long knives and roared loudly, which shook the sky for a while.
At this moment, if you look directly above, thousands of long knives stand upright, like a shining steel thorn.
As the cavalry of the Jin Army approached, Di Feng could feel the vibration coming from the ground, which quickly increased hundreds of thousands of times, as if it were an earthquake, and as if there was a giant beast in the ground arching the ground with its back to break through the ground. Wen Changtao is right, it was the cavalry of the brigade that shook the ground when they galloped, and only by going to the battlefield could you experience such a feeling.
Each of the Song soldiers in front of the line stretched their spears out of the shield array as they had been trained, while the foot soldiers in and behind the formation held their long knives high, and Di Feng did the same. As one of the foot guards, he held his hammer aloft, and a breeze flowed through his face from the bronze mask, calming him down, and his breathing became less rapid. Di Feng tried to move his fingers, but his knuckles made a small sound, which was soon drowned out by the sound of thousands of horses galloping. His gaze turned to the long knives held high by the Song army's foot soldiers, those knives were vibrating slightly, shaking extremely quickly, but the beeping sound was completely swallowed up by the sound of the approaching horses.
Di Feng understood the feelings of those foot soldiers who faced such a battle for the first time, and in the face of the impact of tens of thousands of Jin Army cavalry, they did not collapse immediately, which was already quite good.
What kind of performance will they perform in the next battle?
Di Feng didn't have time to think about it, a huge wind swept overhead, and the wind carried the fishy smell of a horse, which was so thick that it made people sick to their stomachs. How many horses are that? Thousands of horses? Tens of thousands? Di Feng could no longer judge that the number of the Jin Army's forward cavalry exceeded his imagination, and the Jurchen warriors did not seem to consider keeping their hands behind at all, but pressed the whole army. And can the 10,000 people in front of the Song army's infantry withstand it?
Di Feng inhaled deeply and stopped exhaling. He still held his shovels aloft, and the sound of iron hooves seemed to be overhead, and the next moment the horses' hooves might smash their heads, but no one gave the order to attack.
Di Feng suddenly felt a huge black shadow pressed down! He looked up and looked at a war horse, a war horse produced in the northern Liaodi, which was flying over his head with four hooves! At this moment, a samurai of the Western Army who had drunk with him across from him suddenly bounced, and when his curled body unfolded, it was like a piece of curved steel, and the long knife flashed in the air and sank into the belly of the war horse. The war horse was carried forward by his own momentum, the warrior of the Western Army held the knife with both hands and did not move, the horse's blood rained on Di Feng's head, the horse cut a huge wound one foot deep and four feet long from the abdomen to between the legs, the horse rolled and fell to the ground, and a large pile of internal organs rolled out of the wound. Another Western warrior stood up and stabbed the throat of the fallen Jin cavalryman.
With this first blow, the entire Iron Thorn was launched. A large group of Jurchen cavalry arrived at the same time, thousands of horses galloping, steel swords shining. And the samurai of the Western Army hidden behind the shield flicked up in turns, and the sword light flashed in the air. The Jurchen warriors had already fallen off their horses before they had time to draw their swords, and the people who followed closely behind couldn't even see what was happening in front of them, they only felt that there was a flash of light, and then the Jurchen warriors in front fell in large numbers.
Led by the warriors of the Western Army, the Song soldiers quickly dodged the horses behind them, and if they were trampled by these horses, anyone would break their bones. After letting go of a group of Jurchen warriors, they got up again and swung their long knives into the air, and hundreds of war horses were disemboweled. At this time, looking down from above, the steel thorns were neatly ejected from the shield array, with a low "click" sound, so dense that there was no place for the horses to land.
Di Feng had never seen such a neat and effective attack, and the elite Jurchen cavalry was slaughtered in pieces under this tactic. The dripping blood soon stained a narrow patch of red on the ground.
In addition to the long knife, the spears of the Song army infantry are also equally effective, most of the Jin cavalry who failed to jump in front of the shield array are stabbed down by the spears, and occasionally some Jin cavalry crashes into the gap in the shield array, and they will stab the Song army infantry who rush up with spears, only a few brave Jin cavalry can stand up after the war horse falls, but they only wield a knife and kill one or two people, and they will stab down the gathered knives and guns.
Although Di Feng made a double mace of the smashing weapon, but the head of the double mace is a sharp four-edged iron cone, which can assassinate the enemy like a spear in such a battle, and when a Jin cavalry jumped over the shield array and fell in front of him to continue to charge, he directly hit the double gong in Di Feng's hand, and even the man and horse fell to the ground, Di Feng stepped forward and hit his head, the iron helmet of the Jurchen warrior immediately deflated, looking at the other party's brain blood splashing appearance, Di Feng felt drenched with joy, and the murderous intent rose.
