Chapter 527: The Soul of the Iron Blooded Army
Li Chengwei and Du Feihu did not dare to relax at all, the two of them held Qin Fengshuai's cavalry in their hands, and the main infantry army of 4,500 cavalry had already met them, so they had to always be on guard against the enemy's right-hand men and horses to outflank and intercept them. Niu Wen ~ Net [--] Free Text Update! But the most pressure is none other than Yang Yan
This battle was different from any battle fought by the Tiger Army before. In the past, the Hu'er army fought with the enemy in the field, and in the absence of cavalry superiority, most of them relied on dense formations to fight defensive counterattacks. And this time, he chose to take the initiative to attack, and as soon as he saw it, he pushed the main force up, whether it was life or death, victory or defeat, and it would soon be clear
Straddled on horseback, Yang Da stared at the battlefield with a pair of eagle eyes, not letting go of any changes. On the left flank, Erxu's troops have been wrenched together with the infantry of the Jin army, and the right flank, Hujie and Panshi, as well as the Xihe infantry are also in contact with the enemy's short soldiers, and the crossbowmen of the two armies are hiding behind the arrows and flying feathers, and the entire battlefield is boiling, and the sound of killing resounding throughout the four fields
Similarly, the chief general of the Jin army, Chi Zhanhui, was also paying close attention to the development of the battle situation, he was no longer calm and calm before, and for the first time he fought with the Hu'er army, he finally realized that the Western Army was indeed the elite division of the Song army
The time gradually moved to the afternoon, and the Song and Jin armies were still fighting bloody battles on the battlefield of dozens of miles in Qishan Zhiyang. The battle has reached a stalemate. The left and right flanks were strangled together, and the cavalry was ready to move. But this time, the Jin army had to take care of the huge cavalry corps of the Song army, and did not dare to make rash moves.
There was another battlefield that almost everyone overlooked, that is, the eastern plateau of Qishan, which was mainly defended by the volunteers, had fallen, and thousands of volunteers had died in battle and fled. But in the eastern plateau, after the Jin army withdrew, Yang Congyi seized the opportunity and commanded the troops to make urgent arrangements. When the Korean army rushed up, they thought they were cleaning up the mess and cleaning up the battlefield, but they fell into a fierce battle
Most of Yang Congyi's subordinates are Qin Fengshuai's regular army, and their combat effectiveness is extremely strong. In the face of the Jin army's repeated frenzied onslaught, they ran out of firearms and arrows, and were on the verge of collapse for a while. But in the face of the puppet army, encouraged by the arrival of the main force, Yang Congyi gradually took control of the situation
The thin blood dispelled the bitter cold, and the roar of the soldiers shattered the thousand-year-old silence of Qishan
The stalemate of the battle finally appeared on the right flank, and the two heavy infantry relied on sophisticated equipment, tenacious combat power, and steadily pushed in the battle between steel and iron, and the Jin army infantry who tried their best to resist used all their strength, and could not penetrate the opponent's strong formation of broadswords, heavy axes, and bones
What is particularly eye-catching is that the offensive formation of the Xihe Qiang soldiers is completely different from the regimental flower formation of the Hu'er Army, and they pay attention to a high degree of coordination and coordination. Almost all of them are sword players in front, pikemen in the back, lined up in the simplest ranks, alternately covering and killing, their superb combat skills are not inferior to the Tiger Army, and even the breakthrough of the battle situation starts from them first
In addition, the crossbowmen of the two armies of Blade and Arrow Flying Feather hid behind and shot non-stop, causing great pressure and panic to the Jin army
"It's not good that the right wing is retreating" The living girl saw that the situation was not right in the formation, but at this time, Chi Zhanhui still did not order the right crutch horse to attack. The right flank is where the main force of the Jin army is, and once it retreats, the entire battle situation will collapse.
"Right turn horse, attack" The hysterical roar of the living woman shook the golden array
The knights of the Jin Army, who had long been unable to hold back, finally waited for the opportunity to give the military order, and the leading general hit the war horse on the hip of the war horse, and the war horse was in pain, and the long fight sounded, and then the lightning shot out, and then, the seven thousand horse army issued an angry cry and followed the general, so the trick was repeated, and the soldiers came out in two ways, they tried to bypass the Song army, Hujie Panshi and Xihe Infantry in a roundabout way, to attack the crossbowmen hiding under the cover of heavy infantry
The crossbowmen of the Song army did not have the protection of heavy armor, nor the sharpness of long weapons, except for the bows and crossbows in their hands, what they used to defend themselves was that once the short-handled axes hung on the waist were hit by enemy horses, it was difficult to form an effective defense
"Select the front horse army to attack," Yang Yan shouted through gritted teeth.
After the silver horn urged people to forge ahead Li Chengwei and Du Feihu heard the order, Dang Xiang Xiao said loudly: "Brothers, rush" After finishing speaking, he held high the three-eyed musket and urged the war horse
Du Feihu couldn't see any expression on his face, and he raised his big knife and hit the horse out of battle. Behind him, 2,500 horsemen followed suit
The cavalry of the Jin army moved quickly, and soon after leaving the large array, they raised their full speed, like two long snakes, winding and circling around the Song army, staring at the crossbowmen of the two armies, and launched a thunderous blow
Because the Song army continued to repel the right flank of the Jin army, the battlefield moved forward, so that the Jin army's right button horse had previously selected the front horse army to arrive at the impact position, and saw a sea of enemy cavalry suddenly appeared in front of them
But at such a close distance, no matter how dense the attack was, it was difficult to resist the impact of the elite horse army, and the two cavalry of the Jin army inevitably collided with the bow and crossbow camp
There was no heavy armor, no long soldiers, and the two right-handed horses almost simultaneously succeeded in their hands, like two giant hammers, smashing through the large array of arrows and flying feathers
The swiftly rushing enemy cavalry burst into the formation with a great momentum, and the galloping horses with huge weights kept crashing into the enemy cavalry in front of them, and the spears and scimitars flew up and down, invincible, and although the crossbowmen of the Tiger Army still held the formation with the tenacity forged by long-term and strict training, but soon, the two right-handed horses successfully divided them
Han Chang, who is a "good" person in the Chinese army, can't help but applaud the living girl for making a quick decision
Chi Zhanhui was also excited by the success of the left kidnapping horse to divide the enemy army, and the battle situation finally took a turn for the better, as long as he waited and waited until any of the left and right flanks launched a counterattack, he could urge the main formation of the Chinese army to win this battle
The situation on the right is still deteriorating. The kidnapping horse continued to strangle the crossbowmen in a slaughtering manner, and the two heavy soldiers of Hujie Rock also lost the support of the bow and crossbow, and more importantly, they were worried about revealing flaws in their backs. Halted by the offensive for a while, the Jin Army's infantry corps took this opportunity to quickly stabilize the battle line, and its leading generals even tried to launch a counterattack
"Hurry up, hurry up" Yang Yan clenched his hands and read silently in his heart. His breathing almost stopped, and a pair of eyes were fixed on the two attacking Ma Jun
Zhang Xian couldn't help it, he exhaled desperately, gritted his teeth and shouted: "Ma Jun is fighting for breath."
Li Chengwei's assault cavalry arrived at the battlefield first, and at this time, the abducted horses that divided and surrounded the Feiyu Army penetrated the phalanx again through continuous roundabout impacts. Li Chengwei had no choice but to command the troops to carry out a mobile encirclement, and when he had almost turned around most of the time, the abducted horse finally came out again
"Kill" with an angry scream, the party commander ignited the medicine line, and a cloud of gunpowder smoke was released from his attack array, and two thousand assault muskets were ready to fire
The kidnapping horse, which had just burst out of the formation, raised its head to catch up with the Assault Rider, and they barely had to react, and without the slightest sign of stopping, they rushed straight towards each other
Ten thousand hooves trampled the earth, splashed pieces of dust The pride of the Song and Jin armies, the terrifying strike force on the battlefield, the cavalry all crashed into the piercing howls of the opposing knights with the courage to the death, and the impact of the war horses shaking the mountains converged into a torrent, almost shaking the mountains
A dense burst of gunfire sounded the projectiles hidden in the tubes, shot out by the thrust of the gunpowder explosion, and the muzzles fell like horses, but before the breezers had time to rejoice for a moment, the two armies had already collided
Spears pierced, blunt weapons swung steel torrents collided violently, blood flowers bloomed, screams and shouts of killing were intertwined, almost maddening
Almost at the same time, Du Feihu's first division also engaged the enemy. This fierce general in the Hu'er army, who is second only to Yang Zaixing, made the fierce knife given by the marshal, burst into the enemy formation, and cut down the four people one after another, He let out a hearty roar, leading the troops out of the formation, where they passed, the corpses that fell to death, and the war horses that screamed sadly, were in sight
Due to the engagement of the Song cavalry, the abducted horses had to give up the division of the bow and crossbow army. After the merger, the two kidnappers gathered their troops in one place, ready to fight head-on with the selected horse army
Li Chengwei and Du Feihu also joined forces, with Du in front and Li in the back, reforming the offensive formation. The firefighters were loading their ammunition with their hands and feet, and before they could finish it, Du Feihu had already launched another assault
The cavalry of the two armies actually showed a high degree of tacit understanding, seeing that the cavalry of the Song army was divided into two formations, and the kidnappers and horses were also separated, when the first part and Du Feihu hedged over, the second part quickly caught up with Du Feihu's department and suffered two impacts, and the casualties were not small. Seeing this, Li Chengwei clamped his legs and led the fire rider to charge again
The reinforcements of the cavalry gave the two armies a chance to breathe, they quickly reorganized their formation, but at this time, their arrows had been fired, the soldiers collected their bows and crossbows, took up their short axes, bypassed the heavy infantry in front, and pincer the two sides of the Jin infantry formed a three-sided encirclement of the Jin infantry
Seeing that the situation was urgent, Chi Zhanhui hurriedly ordered
Two hours passed, the fierceness of the battle became more and more cruel, the two armies of the equal force struggled to support, fought to the death at the foot of Qishan, the Song army failed to defeat the enemy on the left and right flanks, and the Jin army also had to continue to increase troops under the fierce offensive of the Song army.
In the south of Qishan, blood flowed like a river, and corpses were everywhere
The fiercest battle took place between the cavalry of the two armies, they had fought bloodily for more than 20 rounds, the knights of the two armies were dyed in blood, and the horse army had been reduced by nearly thirty percent, Du Feihu and Li Chengwei After each impact, looking back, the brothers behind them were decreasing. The Jin army was not having a good time, they had encountered a strong opponent since the beginning of the war, 7,000 horsemen, and now they had lost more than 3,000
Frankly speaking, this cavalry duel at the peak was unfair to the Jin army. Because they had been used by infantry for more than an hour before the great battle began. At this time, the Jurchen knights were exhausted, and almost every one of them was panting heavily. In this case, the arrogance of "can't fight a hundred rounds, how can it be called a horse army" of Jin Qi, I'm afraid it will have to be a big discount
Du Feihu's body was wounded in seven places, and his war horse had been shot to death, so he had to change horses to fight again. Li Chengwei was shot in the left side of the face by a stray arrow, and after he pulled out the arrow, he grabbed a handful of dirt to block the blood hole, but still had no heart to retreat
Once again, the cavalry of the two armies gathered together, ready to launch a new round. The will of the soldiers is brutally tested, and whoever slacks off may mean defeat......
Yang Yan's palms were full of sweat, dry and wet, wet and dry......
In the past, as a fierce general who charged into battle, he could ignore the success or failure of the battle situation and only care about killing happily, but this time, he was the supreme commander in front of the enemy, and the Purple Golden Tiger pinned his incomparable trust and great expectations on him, and this invisible pressure almost overwhelmed him
Chi Zhanhui was frenzied, and several times he wanted to make a desperate bet and press all his forces up. He is known for his bravery, but he doesn't dare to do so, because he knows that once he makes a mistake, everything will be over
Just as he was anxious about the stalemate of the battle, a strange noise from behind him made him look back in horror, and the scene in front of him made his eyes almost burst out of his sockets
In the distance, on the eastern plateau of Qishan, the Han army was defeated like a mountain, and the Han army, which had superior forces, was driven down by the remnants of the Song army who were holding the east plateau, and was rushing towards his main formation like a low tide, and the soldiers of the Jin army behind the main formation had already felt the danger and exclaimed
Frightened, uneasy, panicked, and even desperate, all kinds of expressions appeared on the faces of the senior generals of the Jin Army, and once the rout crashed into the back of the main formation, it was bound to cause turmoil in the whole army
"Resist it, resist it, give it to Lao Tzu to resist," Chi Zhanhui jumped like thunder on horseback, and he even did not hesitate to leave the command position of the Chinese army, beat the horse and galloped backwards
Zhang Xian was keenly aware of this unusual sign, he was a little suffocated with excitement, and after finally calming his mind, he quickly said to Yang Yan: "The opportunity to unify the capital is here, you can see the back of the main formation of the Jin Army."
Yang Yan looked fixedly, and saw that the rear end of the main formation of the Jin army was shaking, and after a closer look, he actually saw the cavalry, yes, the cavalry, and the cavalry of the Song army
"Yang Zaixing, Yang Liudao, haha," Yang Yan laughed wildly
In the valley between the east and west plateaus of Qishan, a fierce cavalry galloped out and drove the scattered Korean army, crashing towards the main formation of the Jin army like a monstrous giant*
Yang Da smelled the smell of victory, he took the curved bladed spear that had not been used for a long time from the hands of his own soldiers, and shouted a roar that was enough to shake away Qishan: "The whole army is assaulting"
Hundreds of silver horns sounded in unison, thundering war drums, rapid and loud, earth-shattering attack signals, for a while covered all the sounds on the battlefield, all the Song army officers and soldiers were inspired by this, mustered up their blood, and launched a powerful attack on the Jin army
The defeated Korean army finally collided with the main formation of the Jin army, and the anxious Chi Zhanhui did not stop the disaster, and the defeated Korean soldiers suddenly rushed into the Jin army's position, and the soldiers who were in a hurry and did not know how to refuse were wrapped in ribs and ran aimlessly
The rout of the main formation directly affected the morale of the left and right wings
The first to appear loose right wing, under the Song Army's Tiger Jie, Panshi, Feiyu, Fengya, and Xihe Qiang Han warriors, the Jin Right Wing Corps was originally struggling to support, and the danger continued. At this time, the army's heart was shaken, and the soldiers had no intention of fighting, but the Song army had high morale, and they rushed forward and gritted their teeth to support it for several hours, and the right-wing corps that paid the heavy price of casualties could no longer support it and fled one after another
They collapsed backwards and ran into the poor main formation again, which was enough to make all the generals of the Jin Army despair
Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, without any rules, wrapped up in a ball and suffering from the strangulation of the Song army, Chizhan Hui was in the chaos of the army, seeing countless soldiers at a loss, scattered and fleeing, no matter how he drank, it was to no avail. This Jurchen general, in a hurry, actually cried loudly......
But at this time, it was too late to cry. When the last spiritual pillar of the Jin army collapsed, tens of thousands of fierce troops became ownerless lonely souls, the left and right flanks were fiercely attacked by the Song army, and the impact of the shameless Korean army was behind, and the Jin army was defeated on all fronts
The infantry and cavalry were mixed together, and they fled south one after another, and their last bit of courage was also consumed, and at this moment, they were no longer brave warriors, but mortals who fled for their lives......
The two Song armies made the final harvest, and were blocked at the foot of Qishan, and the Jin-Han coalition army, which could not escape, instinctively resisted powerlessly. But in front of the imposing Song army, this resistance seemed so weak. The heavy infantry marched like a wall, swords and axes cutting through armor and severing heads. The crossbowmen shot the remnants of the enemy with impunity, destroying the hope of escape......
Yang Zaixing, Du Feihu, Li Chengwei, and the three generals each led the horse army and launched a ruthless pursuit of the fleeing enemy
The battlefield gradually calmed down, and the Kim and Korean coalition forces, which had no hope of escaping, either died or surrendered, and all of them were disarmed and unarmed. This army, which was invincible not long ago, collapsed and disappeared under the attack of the two Song armies
Yang Yan, who was sweating profusely and spraying white mist from his mouth, threw the curved blade gun to the soldier and looked around. At his feet, there was frozen blood and piled up corpses, and as far as the eye could see, on the battlefield within a radius of more than ten miles, the soldiers of the Song Army who were infested in the middle were collecting their weapons and cleaning up the battlefield.
The cheers first sounded from the troops at the foot of Qishan, and after several hours of bloody battles, the Song army finally got this hard-won victory, and the soldiers had enough reason to enjoy the victory
Subsequently, the cheers surged, the soldiers shouted recklessly, waved their weapons violently, vented their sorrows, danced with joy in this battle, the Song army defeated the main force of the Jin-Han coalition army in one fell swoop, and achieved the first great victory since the defeat of Juzhou, its impact is still unknown, but one thing is certain, this battle, washed away the shame of the Western Army, the most elite army of the Great Song Dynasty, with iron and blood to prove that they are a hundred battles like iron and steel
Yang Yan's ears were filled with the crazy cheers of the soldiers, but he didn't shout, he didn't laugh, and he didn't know what was stuffed in his chest, so that he couldn't breathe
In the end, that nameless impulse turned into tears, and the iron-clad man couldn't help but burst into tears from his cheeks
