Chapter 333: Return to the Horse Gun

For example, there is an accident within the Jin Army, "What is going on in the country of Daimaru Jin, but these are just speculations, and you can't rush forward behind closed doors in the war, you must know yourself and your opponent." After discussing with Wu Jie for a while, he decided to send Tanma to advance again to see how the situation in Langzhou City was. Return to the camp and give orders to keep the troops on standby for the time being. The current situation is unclear, so I don't rush forward. After Xu Wei made the arrangement, he immediately went to Xu Yuan's place, and the latter also felt that this matter was unbelievable and too strange, and agreed with Xu Wei's idea of standing still for the time being, and everything would be discussed after the situation in Duzhou was investigated.

The sun rose in the east, and the morning glow reflected the eastern sky red, Xu Yuan stood at the mouth of the big tent and looked at the sky, and couldn't help but say: "Sticky Han's move is really unpredictable. If things are not urgent, we can still deal with everything,"

Xu Wei also frowned, the Jin army was good at field warfare, especially in the plains, with the advantage of cavalry, it was often able to win more with less. Although the terrain in this area is mountainous and hilly, and it is understandable that the Jurchens are on the defensive, there is really no reason to retreat into the city, right? Relying on the city to fight a defensive war, although it is possible to use a small number of troops to fight against several times or even more than ten times the enemy, but the disadvantage is also obvious, that is, passivity, the Jin army has always controlled the initiative in the war.

"Report!" As the two brothers were silent, a prolonged cry was heard. And the person who surprised the two of them, this call actually came from the mouth of Wu Jie.

Wu Jinqing, who was dressed in military uniform, almost rushed all the way, the armor on his body was sonorous, and a gust of wind blew in front of the two handsome guards, and he didn't even care about the number of courtesies, pointed to the north, and said directly: "The Jin army is attacking from Qingzhou!" Its forward is less than twenty miles away! ”

"How many troops?" Xu Yuan blurted out a question.

"The return of the probe horse only says that it is overwhelming, and it seems to be pouring out!" Wu Jie replied in a deep voice.

The two Xu glanced at each other and were shocked! What is this called? The two big camps taught overnight, and they made a comeback early this morning? Isn't this a redundant move to take off your pants and fart? Why is he sticky? Xu Yuan had been in the array for a long time, and after thinking about it for a while, he speculated that Mu Han might have decided to face the enemy head-on with our army, so he withdrew the troops of the two large battalions and assembled in Qingzhou. We were divided into two places with Quduan, and he simply concentrated his forces and dealt with our brothers first.

While there is some truth to this speculation, it does not explain why the "hasty retreat" is not an ad hoc decision. This is also unlikely, military affairs are not children's family wine, every step must be carefully considered, weigh the gains and losses, otherwise it is not a joke to lose a mistake. Also, Quduan is only more than 30 miles away from us, and he arrived after half a day, so he didn't want to guard against it? Dare to come out to deal with Xu Jiajun?

The most puzzling thing is that the terrain here is complicated, why does Mu Han have the confidence to guarantee that he can defeat the Xu family's army? If there is no guarantee of victory, before taking Yan'an, a decisive battle with the Western Army, in case of defeat, will not be a failure?

Xu Wei ran to the map, pressed his hand on it and carefully examined it, the camp of the Xu family army was set up in an open area near the river, and if he fought with the Jin army here, it would not be conducive to exploiting his strengths and avoiding his weaknesses. Moreover, the Qin Straight Road passed through the territory of Duzhou, and the Xu Family Army Barracks was next to the Straight Road. More than 1,000 years ago, Qin Shi Huang built this military passage, its significance is no less than the Great Wall, but the actual military significance. It can even be said to be bigger than the Great Wall.

Why? This road is not a sheep's intestine path, but a smooth road for the army to pass. The widest part of the road surface is more than ten zhang, and there are generally about six or seven clips. Therefore, the advance of the Jin army will be very fast. Its forward is twenty miles away. A meal will take you to arrive! And right now, most of the Xu family's army is still in the camp!

"Big brother, it's too late for anything, go out of the camp immediately!" Xu Wei said loudly. Jin Jun went and came back, and this trick of "returning the horse gun" made Xu Jiajun a little surprised.

How could Xu Yuan not know this truth, but he wondered: "Twenty miles away, the vanguard cavalry of the Jin army will arrive in the blink of an eye. I'm afraid that the battle has not been completed, and the enemy has arrived. ”

Wu Jie knew the surrounding terrain well, and immediately suggested: "From here to the north of three miles, there is a Song Gongyuan, the straight road through this is the bottom of the pot in all directions, you can send a brave general, lead a thousand people to the plain, suspend the advance of the gold thief, and shelter the army in front!" ”

Song Gongyuan and Xu both knew, but that place could only be held for a while, if the Jin army was detouring on both sides, although it would take some trouble, it would not take an hour to get around. The situation is urgent, even if it is blocked for half an hour! Xu Wei took the initiative to ask, and Xu Yuan nodded in agreement.

"Order Xu Cheng to lead a thousand steps to Song Gongyuan to defend it, and go immediately!" Xu Wei's voice was like thunder. Although it was a dispute over burning his eyebrows, Zijin Hu still had considerations, and the reason why he sent Xu Cheng was to let him behave well in front of his father.

Xu Yuan stared at the map for a moment, and then ordered: "Send someone to order Qu Duan to come to help in the battle, and the soldiers of the whole army will immediately go out of the camp and line up!" The listed formations are based on "stacked formations, prevail!" ”

The order was carried out quickly, and more than 40,000 horse infantry troops suddenly heard that the enemy was coming, and both officers and soldiers were surprised. Hurriedly rushed out of the battalion, under the command of officers at all levels, set up a formation.

And many people have seen that a group of men and horses rushed out of the Shaanxi and Chinese military camps, about hundreds to thousands of scale, all carrying antlers and other obstacles, galloping north.

Under the reflection of the morning sun, Xu Cheng rode a white horse, neatly draped, grabbed a knife in his hand, and scolded at the top of his throat: "Didn't you eat? Run! Run for me! The first to arrive at Harajo... Day twist than... The experience of making a book!

A thousand infantrymen galloped like dogs. An armored weapon is heavy enough, not to mention carrying other weapons? But the soldiers didn't dare to complain, gritted their teeth, and stepped on the ground fire that had not yet dried! Xu Cheng looked back, and saw that the camp was like a flood, countless people rushed out of the camp, and the officers were cavalry, brandishing weapons and horse whips, shouting loudly. He took a spit, slapped the knife on the horse's leg, and galloped north.

Song Gongyuan, the origin of its name is no longer available, it is estimated that there was once a celebrity surnamed Song in this vicinity, less than four miles north of the Xu family military camp. The terrain here is very strange, it can be described as "a few ups and downs", and the "Qin Straight Road" is between these ups and downs, extending in the 2 ridges.

In front of Song Gongyuan, the soldiers looked up, and even the battle-hardened veteran Youzi couldn't help but gasp. This terrain is too dangerous, if the Jin army arrives first and uses cavalry to dive down from the plain, the dense formation will have to be dispersed for you. At that moment, the soldiers roared in unison, carrying their instruments and climbing up. It had rained heavily a few days ago, and the ground had not dried out, and it was a little slippery, so that some soldiers had to move forward with guns and swords.

Xu Cheng was so anxious that he seemed to have heard the sound of hooves in his ears, at this time, it is useless for you to be an official, it is better to practice it. Therefore he abandoned his horse, and showed his sword in the hands of his own soldiers, and rushed forward, and lifted the corner of a horse that had rejected it. Climb up to the plain with the soldiers.

When I went to Song Gongyuan, the surrounding scenery was in full view, but Xu Cheng looked at it, and his heart was half cold.

How to defend this place? In front of him, Qin Zhidao was completely concave, about five or six hundred steps forward, and suddenly lifted it up, just like a pot. From the bottom to Song Gongyuan, it is estimated that there must be a hundred ping-pong high. The problem lies on both sides, it is said that if it is a dangerous pass, the two sides are either deep ditches, or big rivers, or at least steep mountains.

On the east and west sides of Song Gongyuan, there are small hills like tombs, and there are no trees, and they are full of rocks. Looking far away, farther away, it is actually flat ground! If the Jin army can't attack it for a while. People must have made a detour! Then it's going to go around the back of my ass!

After another spit, Xu Cheng turned his heart across and ordered the soldiers to quickly erect obstacles on the straight. The surrounding rocks gave him an idea, and he sent hundreds of troops to collect the boulders that were good for rolling. A thousand people were busy on that plain, the sun was already a little powerful, almost all the soldiers were sweating profusely, and today it would be a clear sky again, and there would be no clouds.

Antlers are sharpened logs and tied side by side, while horses are tied cross-tied together and fixed to the ground to prevent the impact of enemy cavalry. When camping, or besieging a city, the antlers even had to nail the bell lock to prevent the enemy from moving the equipment when they were in camp.

Of course, Xu Cheng's department didn't need to do this, just set up a part of the straight road leading to Song Gongyuan, and then set up a line of defense side by side on the plain. In order to make use of the rolling stones, Xu Cheng ordered to leave a few movable rejection horses for provenance, and the rest were all nailed.

"It's coming!"

The defensive line had not yet been fully arranged, and there were already soldiers shouting. Everyone raised their heads almost at the same time, and looked north, only to see that five or six hundred paces away, a black belt appeared on the head of the place. Only people with excellent eyesight can vaguely see that it is the Jurchen cavalry.

The opponent moved extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, the black belt turned into a swarming army of horses. The straight road here is not wide, about six zhang, but there are five or six riders marching side by side, and the front and back stretches for a long time. The Hujie soldiers knew in their hearts that this was the reconnaissance of the former army for the follow-up troops.

The clear sound of hooves came into his ears, Xu Cheng clenched the handle of the knife, and shouted: "Prepare for battle!" As soon as the military order was given, the soldiers shouted loudly, summoning the brothers who were still carrying the rolling stones to fire back to defense!

The other party had no intention of stopping, and had already swooped down in an instant! Seeing it, he came to Song Gongyuan!

There are dozens of rolling stones in the plain, it is not that the soldiers are lazy, but the slope here is not very steep, and the ordinary stones cannot be rolled, not to mention the round, at least it has to be square, and the long flat ones are not in the middle. Xu Cheng saw that the enemy horse was menacing, and under the sun, *** brandished a scimitar, and rushed up with a howl in his mouth, and immediately stepped forward to hold a thigh-high stone, and shouted: "Come on!" ”

The soldiers at the front responded in groups, each against the rolling stone, and the horn sounded, and at the same time! The rolling stones of different shapes left the mountain, and at first rolled down unhurriedly, and in a short time, the degree became faster and faster! A few pieces actually jumped and pressed down! Hundreds of pounds of stones, bouncing and pressing down on you, what kind of scene is that?

It is said that the cavalry of the Jin Army can not only gallop on the plains, but also practice tactical actions such as rushing steep slopes in peacetime. Today, the Hujie soldiers have opened their eyes, and the Jin Army is really heading forward! But when a row of rolling stones pressed towards them inconsistently, this group of *** also panicked. Before the stone arrived, someone had already pulled the reins and avoided the mountain forest next to the straight road. Fearlessly, they continue to rush upward!

Suddenly! Spider Gang, anti-twist than 8 to four bubble book Zhao Zhao Shan experience!

It should also be that the cavalry of the Jin Army who rushed to the front was unlucky, and a boulder bounced up to a person's height when it rolled five or six paces in front of him! It's smashing on the horse! The horse was crushed to death, and the man was knocked away! The rolling stones that came one after another marched happily in the cavalry group, and almost all those who did not avoid it were swept away, and the formation was suddenly torn apart! Screaming "One, one, one,

When he saw this, he quickly pulled the reins, turned the horse's head and ran back! On Song Gongyuan, there was a cheer, and someone waved his weapon at the Jin army as if provocatively, cursing loudly!

At first, they saw that the Song army was setting up obstacles, and they thought that they could take advantage of the opportunity to catch them off guard, so they would continue to move forward without stopping. Now as soon as they saw this formation, as outposts, they returned to the high ground and peeked into the Song army's defense. The place where they are located is slightly higher than that of Song Gongyuan, so they condescendingly have a full view of the original Song army.

When there were not many defenders, the leading Jin general breathed a sigh of relief, and said something, and then several horses left the team and ran north. Xu Cheng looked at the opposite side from afar, and when he saw that the golden cavalry did not move forward or retreat, he no longer dared to send troops out to collect stones, so he ordered to be vigilant. Don't blink an eye. Spider cannon yang ratio... A different experience for making a book!

The two armies confronted each other for a while, and the sun gradually rose higher, and the sun became hotter, so that a burning smell came out of people's scalps. This was a bitter pain for the armored Hujie soldiers, but when they thought that those Jurchen birds on the opposite side of the plain were living in the cold north, their hearts were calm.

"Brothers, Song Gongyuan must be defended, the lower plain is a wide land, and we, a thousand people, are buying time for the army. As long as we don't move, the golden dog won't be able to pass! If you are handsome, after the war, those who defend the Song Dynasty will be rewarded! Xu Cheng seized the time to encourage the soldiers, because he knew that the outposts had arrived, and the main force of the Jin army was probably not far away.

Hearing that there is a heavy reward, the soldiers are more and more energetic, this defending the land and protecting the territory is the duty of our generation, and now Xu Tong is the son of the Xianggong, and the nephew of the Xianggong is fighting side by side with us, not to mention, there is also a reward on the top, how can we not be effective?

"Command, Banner!" A soldier pointed to the north and shouted.

Xu Cheng looked back, and saw a military flag appear on the opposite side, and he also saw what was written on the flag, so it showed a little anyway. Just now, the hundreds of cavalry of the Golden Army were spread out on the plain, and the formation was not terrifying. But right now, with the original straight road as the center, it spreads left and right, and the eyes are full of dense figures! Although he was five or six hundred steps away, he could still feel the momentum of Mount Tai!

The main force of the Jin Army has arrived!

Xu Cheng plunged the long knife into the soil, took the bow from his back, and tore the bowstring first. The yellow birch bow in his hand has more than 200 stone bow strength, which makes him round and round, and when he lets go, the bowstring sounds like a thunderbolt! The soldiers couldn't help but shout hello! So it's good to be a soldier in Hujie! His uncle was a privy envoy and a very popular minister; His father was a deputy envoy and held military power; His uncle is a marshal of Shaanxi, and his name is Zhenhe Shaanxi. But so what? We still have to stand here and fight like our group of people who were born in dung farming! This is what the marshal often repeatedly emphasized, officers and soldiers are one!

Hundreds of steps away, under the military flag, the number one person in power in the Dajin Kingdom, Sticky Han, was building a pergola and looking at Song Gongyuan opposite.

In fact, this time, the civil and military of all ethnic groups persuaded him not to come in person, anyway, the overall situation has been decided, and the status of the prime minister is noble, so he really shouldn't take risks. But Sticky Han insisted on coming, not for anything else, he wanted to see with his own eyes what the Purple Gold Tiger was like. Even if you can't see the Purple Gold Tiger, you can see the Tiger Army. Lao Tzu wants to see what kind of generals, what kind of army, can make my Jurchen elite even suffer defeat, and can make Wan Yan still linger on the verge of death. Xu Wei, it's best not to disappoint me.

Yelu Ma Wu immediately sat on the right side of Sticky Han, and this detail is not difficult to see the change in his status, because on the left side stood Wanyan Weisu. Seeing that the Song army on the opposite side was fortified at risk, although there were not many troops, they blocked the way, and said casually: "This seems to be the style of the Western Army." ”

Everyone laughs, what is the Western Army style? It's defensive, a lack of offensive awareness. It is said that the place where the overlook is extended is the place where the Western Army is mighty, but it has dragged on until now."

"Prime Minister! I'll lead my troops to take the opposite hill! "The one who said this was Han Chang, the brave general of the Jin Army, who was originally a Liaodong Han'er, and now he is a capable general under the command of Mu Han, and his Liaodong 10,000 people team is quite powerful.

Sticky Han didn't respond to him for a while, but looked at Song Gongyuan's sides. The Song army is based here, and I am afraid it is also a temporary emergency. Just because this place is not a necessary place, I can go in a detour from both sides, but it will take a little trouble.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Yelu Ma Wu smiled and said to Han Chang: "It's not necessary, before noon, the Song army on the opposite side will naturally withdraw." ”

Han Chang's black face twisted into a ball: "Why is this?" ”

Before he could answer, he heard Muhan say, "Go around this place and advance in a roundabout way from both sides, and you don't have to deal with the enemy on the opposite side." "When the Jin army occupied Qingzhou. Especially after setting up the Marshal's Mansion in Duzhou, he had already surveyed the terrain near and far. I know that there is a place for Song Gongyuan here, and I also know that although there is no big road like Qin Zhidao on both sides of Song Gongyuan, it can also be passed. The Song army set up a defensive line here, just to buy time. Rather than exhaust the army here and exchange the large casualties for a shortcut, it is better to take a detour.

The reason is very simple, although there are only a few hundred on the opposite side, and a thousand Song troops have been killed, but they are condescending, and obstacles have been set up, and rolling stones have been prepared, if I attack strongly, even if I hit it, I will only destroy him by a thousand people, but the Jin army may pay several times the price. And even if it is defeated, the other party's purpose of delaying time has been achieved, in the words of the southerners, this is called harming others and not benefiting themselves. , If you want to know what will happen next, please log in to Shantun Shanfan chapter for more, support the author, support genuine reading!
