Chapter 1053 [Array]
At this moment, that is, less than ten miles north of Liaoyang City, on the side of the official road to the north, I saw dozens of long queues mixed with people and vehicles walking northward in an orderly manner.
And before the car dragon and the human dragon, hundreds of horsemen and horses gathered on the left side of the road to confront each other, but they also saw that Guo Anguo, who was wearing red armor and black armor, sat on the ground dejectedly, looking up at Yue Fei who was holding a pole and eight horse lances, and it happened that at this time, a round of red sun just jumped up from the horizon, scattering ten thousand golden lights all over the world, and it was reflected on Yue Fei's rotten silver armor, as if he was coated with a layer of real gold.
It's just weird, everything happened too suddenly, and Guo Anguo was too careless, he shouldn't have chased Yue Fei, who deliberately pretended to be invincible, so he ate a serious return pistol and ended up now.
Because he was in pursuit, he had already run out of the range of his own soldiers, so after falling off the horse, he couldn't save it, so he saw that the Song army quickly came with two horses, quickly pounced and tied him, and then pressed to the back of the formation.
As soon as they saw that the lord was about to be captured, the Guo family's pro-army who were originally scattered on both sides of the official road to watch the battle were also panicked, and after a burst of noise, the pro-soldier general Zuo, who was also in charge, quickly sent someone back to report the news, and then ordered the whole team to retreat slowly, and all took out the cavalry bows to prevent the Song army from rushing into pursuit.
However, Yue Fei was not interested in throwing these small soldiers around, so he also took a good time to slowly move forward with the front line, until he came to a position about two thousand steps away from the Jin army camp, that is, four miles to four and a half miles, and then ordered to stop.
As Yue Fei and more than 100 other forward cavalry drove the way to a stop, they also watched more than a dozen human dragons and chariot dragons traveling along the thoroughfare road quickly stop and began to move sideways and splic, and they were about 2,500 steps away from the Jin military camp (that is, five miles), and the chariot formation was set up.
It was only a cup of tea when the Song army stopped and began to set up the formation, and it was also called to see the Jin army's northern camp all the gates open, and the Jin army quickly swarmed out.
I don't know if Zong Wang is a person who abides by the rules of engagement, or if he already feels that it is not decent to carry out a surprise attack at this time, the Jin army that came out of the camp did not attack the Song army that was building a car formation, but quickly set up a whole formation in front of Jinzhai.
After another moment, but seeing that the Jin army's Xizhai was also open, and the Xizhai Jin army led by Zong Bi was also decent, he also slowly walked around the formation, and came to Beizhai to merge with Zongwang's army.
In this way, the two armies of Jin and Song were also like an agreement, each of them arranged the whole team in an orderly manner, and it took more than an hour before and after, and when the sun was on the third stroke, the drum beat of the preparation was stopped.
It can also be seen that the countless chariots of the Song army have built a square car formation about 1,000 steps long from east to west, and 5 or 600 steps deep from north to south at the place of 2,500 steps in front of Jinzhai.
On the Jin army's side, in an area of about 1,800 to 2,500 steps from north to south and almost 3,000 steps from east to west, the Jin army also formed almost 30 phalanxes of 1,000 people, of which 18 1,000-man squares were cavalry troops, which were arranged at both ends, and the 12 infantry squares in the middle were sparsely lined up in the formation, guarding the main general of the Chinese army with the Daxu battle flag.
"Wuzhu, can you see how many people Song Jun has come this time?" In the Jin army's array, Zong Wanggao sat on his horse and looked at the Song army's chariot base, asking Zong Bi on the one hand, but looking at the layout of his own battle array.
Zong Bi heard the question, but he also took a good look at the pergola, but just shook his head and said: "It's just that I can count at least three hundred chariots, and I don't know how many soldiers and horses there are." Since Huang Jie said that he brought 30,000 people to fight, I am afraid that he will not cheat. ”
Zong Wang smiled when he heard this, and he didn't argue with this, if he wanted to talk about Huang Jie's character, he wouldn't have any bad words, but Huang Jie said that he would bring 30,000 people to fight, but how could these 300 chariots be counted?
Although it is said that this cavalry should be matched with horses, and the charioteers are not bad with chariots, Zong Wang felt that if the two sides were only counted as heads, the Jin army would still suffer a little loss if it was about 30,000 people. However, when I thought about the chariot of the Song army, it was somewhat useful to sit in place, and I couldn't pursue it or run away, so I was relieved.
Moreover, the Song army relied on the advantage of chariot combat, and everyone also knew it, could it be that such a national war still pays attention to fairness?
At the same time, while the Jin army was still studying such trivial issues, in the Song army's car array, a building car also slowly rose under the joint force of more than 100 wrestlers, and saw that the bracket was rising like a bamboo shoot, and finally raised a tower with a height of about ten steps to a height of eight zhang, and then slowly stopped. Later, I saw that the wrestlers quickly built a scaffolding around the building car with thigh-thick wooden pillar parts, and finally stabilized the foundation of the building car, only to see Huang Jie lead Yang Keshi, Zhao Shuo, Zhe Keshi, Zhe Yuemei, Chong Xuan and other more than ten people to the building car, into a small two-step square box attached to the edge of the tower, and slowly rose up to the tower under the effect of the wrestlers using manpower to move the mechanism.
One zhang of the Song system, that is, 3.168 meters in later generations, and the height of the eight-zhang high building car, naturally reached a terrifying 25 meters (equivalent to the height of a ten-story building in later generations), looking around from this height, although the field of vision can not expand much, but the battlefield situation within two or three thousand steps is still in full view.
After getting into the upstairs car, Huang Jie also sat down on the handsome chair placed in the center of the upstairs car, took the telescope on the tea table next to the chair and swept it in front of the Jin army, and then smiled and said: "Hanlu is also a believer, and he really only sent 30,000 people to fight." ”
Although the other generals also arranged seats and wooden chairs, no one sat down at this time, and they all took binoculars to take a look, which itself has an excellent view at a height of twenty-five meters, plus Huang Jie's telescope blesses eyesight, so now I can see all kinds of slenderness in the Jin army array.
But seeing Zhao Shuo first, he said: "When the Jin army goes to war, it is still dominated by cavalry!" ”
And after looking at it, Zhi Keshi also said: "The light cavalry is less than thirty percent, and the number of iron cavalry with heavy armor is obviously too much, I am afraid that the Jin army still wants to find the scene in the cavalry formation." ”
Hearing Zhi Keshi speak like this, everyone laughed in unison, but Zhi Yuemei put down her binoculars and pointed in the direction of Jin Junshuaiqi: "Don't underestimate the foot soldiers of the Gongwei Chinese army now, they are all Jurchen faces, but I'm afraid they are all dismounted cavalry!" ”
Hearing Zhi Yuemei say this, everyone was curious, and they were busy using binoculars to take a closer look, but they really found that those Jin Army foot soldiers wearing armor really looked like Jurchens, obviously they were not at ease with the Han army or the infantry troops composed of the attached army and the signing army, so they simply used the Jurchens.
Of course, although the Jurchens were born with cavalry skills, they were not weak when they dismounted and fought on foot, otherwise the Liao State would not have been attacked and plundered by the Jin State so quickly and perished.
At this moment, he heard the sound of the manpower elevator in the tower, and he also saw Yue Fei entering the tower with a black-armored golden general who was tied up with five flowers, and brought him to Huang Jie and said: "Return to the marshal, the last general has just captured the vanguard of the Jin Army in front of the battle, and this person is Guo Anguo, the son of Guo Yaoshi." ”
