Chapter 1057 [Entering the Formation]

Zong Bi's Tiefutu troops, in fact, are still an experimental force at the moment, not only the total number of people has not yet reached the scale of 10,000, but even the heavy armor of the whole army has not been able to complete the standard uniform, and many soldiers simply put the captured enemy armor on their bodies.

Of course, the problem of equipment standardization is also a major problem that plagues the Jin army today, although Wu Qimai took over the baton of Aguda with his own strength to overthrow the once awesome Khitan Liao State, inheriting a huge territory, population and historical relations, but it has not been able to inherit the industrial and agricultural technology and production capacity of the Liao State, although this has a lot to do with the fact that the Jin State likes to slaughter cities and exterminate the tribe at every turn, it is difficult to say that this has a lot to do with the fact that the Jurchens do not value the artisan industry at all.

Anyway, at this time, to get back to business, Guo Yaoshi proposed to break this "perverted version" of the Song army's "Pingrong Wanquan Array", and it was impossible to use the Han army under his command as cannon fodder to send him to death, at least he had to use the Iron Floating Tu to accompany him, and Zong Wang naturally heard it.

But even if he hears it, Zong Wang can't say that Guo Yaoshi's requirements are unreasonable or the intention is very excessive, after all, what is the situation of the new annexed army under his command Zong Wang also knows, because in the past six months, Zong Wang personally ordered Guo Yaoshi to stuff people into his hands, and stuffed him from a thin monkey to a big fat man, and now you really can't unreasonably order a group of foot soldiers to break into the cavalry formation to kill the enemy, right?

It's just that the strategy proposed by Pharmacist Guo is really a bit embarrassing, and after thinking about it for a while, Zong Wang had to ask Zong Bi cheekily: "Wuzhu, how many more people do you have in the Iron Floating Slaughter?" ”

Zong Bi frowned when he heard this, of course he also heard the meaning of Guo Yaoshi's words, but he still replied truthfully: "Now there are less than three thousand people!" ”

Zong Wang calculated, the cavalry in the hands of Guo Yaoshi was less than 10,000 people, plus Zong Bi's 3,000, a total of only 13,000, according to the battle rules invited by the two armies, now the Song army is 15,000 people, then the Jin army can also fight 15,000, and they can't suffer this loss, so they looked left and right and also found a person on their backs, so they also ordered: "Guo Meng'an, this commander ordered you to lead 9,000 men and horses from the headquarters, and Wuzhu and Tiele each led 3,000 iron horsemen to cover your wings, how about it?" ”

Hearing that Zong Wang gave such an order, Guo Yaoshi also understood that this matter could not be avoided, so he could only hold his fists and give an order, and then he also slapped his horse and returned to the main formation to proofread the people. As for Zong Bi and Tie Ledu, they also reluctantly took over these generals and went to their respective formations to send troops.

Zong Bi's Tiefu Tu is easy to say, yesterday with the Song army thousands of hard against thousand, although hundreds of people were lost, but in the total scale of the muscles and bones, now still has at least more than ninety percent of the combat power, the number of personnel is stable more than four thousand.

As for the 3,000 men and horses in Tieledu, they are not ordinary people randomly assigned by Zongwang, but elite Jurchens from the Tieli Department. And Tie Ledu is not a small fish or shrimp, he is now the patriarch of the Tieli tribe, the eldest son of the Jin country's national theory Ban Lai Bo Jilie Ugo, and this face is not small.

It was also said that after the three of them received the order, they each looked the same, and it only took more than a moment to gather their own men and horses, and slowly went out of the army formation to the center of the battlefield.

But seeing the three teams, with Guo Yaoshi's 9,000 light cavalry as the main force of the Chinese army, and Zong Bi and Tiele each with 3,000 heavy iron cavalry as the two wings, after leaving the army formation, they also turned into three colorful torrents and approached the Song army's battle formation.

Let's talk about Guo Yaoshi's Chinese army light cavalry, at this time, Guo Yaoshi naturally can neither hide nor fake, of course, he has his own hard-headed cavalry to drive out of his subordinates, but Guo Yaoshi's cavalry, as the annex army of the Jin State, can not be better than the elite generals and guards like Tiefutu in terms of equipment, so the vast majority of the armor worn by these 9,000 people now is all kinds of leather armor, and the back of the war horse is not laid with vest at all, and the weapons held by each person are also varied, including all kinds of sticks, sledgehammers, spears, and bones. There are also common swords, axes, and whips, and so on.

As for Zong Bi's Tiefutu and Tie Ledu's Tieli elite, the equipment is naturally much more elite, and the Tiefutu people mostly wear two layers of armor, the outer layer is either a heavy armor decorated with armor, or a Liao's standard chain mail or plate armor, and a layer of leather armor or soft iron armor is also set inside, and a few people's war horses are also equipped with horse armor, as for the elites of the Tieli Department, most of them are naturally the same, the only difference is that only thirty percent of the people in the Tiefu Tu carry bows and arrows, and the elites of the Tieli Department all carry bows.

It is also said that after a total of 15,000 people from the nine, two, and three came out of the battle formation, they turned into three arrow-like formations, and slowly marched towards the center of the battlefield, and when they were led to a distance of less than 300 paces between the two armies, Guo Yaoshi took the initiative to stop, and ordered someone to wave the recognition flag, and summoned the generals of the Tiefutu and the elite leaders of Tieli on both wings to discuss before the battle.

It's good that this Tiefutu is from Zong Bi's hand, but now Zong Bi, who is the deputy marshal, is obviously impossible to personally lead the army to fight, so the person assigned is the personal captain next to him, named Pucha Achi, who will lead the army in place of Zong Bi.

After seeing the two teams of leaders, Guo Yaoshi also pointed to the large array of the Song army and said: "This array is the Pingrong Wanquan array of the Song people, although there are changes, but it is also difficult to escape the essence of the eight formations, so there must be life, injury, rest, Du, Jing, death, shock, open eight doors in this array, I want to break its formation now, blindly attack the empty and make no achievements, it is to Guo Mou personally lead 3,000 men and horses into the battle to test, if Guo Mou finds the position of the formation and releases a signal, you two can find life, rest, surprise, open four doors into the battle and join me, Together, we broke this formation! ”

Immediately, Pharmacist Guo discussed with the two of them the signal and how to find out the Karakuri where the four gates were, and he also personally appointed Zhen Wuchen and Liu Shunren as the left and right deputy generals, and led 3,000 men and horses to divide into three groups and rush straight to the Song army's battle formation.

At this time, in the battle formation of the Song army, more than 8,000 cavalry on the left and right flanks formed a defensive circular formation and waited for orders, while the 6,000 men and horses of the front, middle and rear armies in the middle set up a rectangular battle formation with a length of more than 1,000 steps from east to west and more than 800 steps from north to south on the battlefield.

Seeing that Pharmacist Guo led people to charge into the formation, he could see that Yang Keshi, who was on the command vehicle in the array, waved the order flag in his hand, and the shield wall at the forefront quickly cracked three gaps, putting Pharmacist Guo and them into the formation.

As Guo Yaoshi led three thousand men and horses into the formation, he could also hear the sound of fighting all day long in the formation, at this time the two armies were mixed and others might not be able to see clearly, but Huang Jie and others could see it really from the building car, and they could see that Guo Yaoshi and others led the light cavalry to shuttle back and forth in the shield array composed of thousands of shield players, looking for the weak point of the battle formation in order to break through.

It's just that the battle situation doesn't seem to be as good as Guo Yaoshi's intentions, and the three dragon-like teams that entered the battle have lost a lot of weight with just a cup of tea. 10
