Chapter 289: Swallowing Thousands of Miles Like a Tiger
"Marshal, look!" In the midst of the chaos, Lou Su had just gotten up from the ground when he heard the generals beside him shouting. Looking up, I saw that the cavalry of the Song army, which had just come out of the formation, did not stop at all, and went around in a circle and came back! Although the horse army led by Zhe Yanye is not many, it is flexible and flexible, especially in the general lack of cavalry advantage of the Song army, the cavalry of the Zhejia army can be regarded as an outlier. The training is not inferior to that of the Jurchens, which is incomparable to the Hujie Ma Army. Therefore, when the young general of the Ori family led his troops to skillfully detour, many of the 1,000 horsemen led by Ma Tai were left behind.
"Form again! Formation again! Lou Su yelled hysterically. The soldiers in the chaos around hurriedly approached, some kneeling with spears and kneeling like the Western army, and some with arrows wound up to try to capture the target. However, the position of the Jin army gave the Zhe horse army enough room for detours, and there were only more than 2,000 cavalry to assault, and the Jin army did not have time to reorganize the formation, and the other party galloped again!
A string sounds! The Jurchens, who were accustomed to longbow scimitars, launched a counterattack, and in the blink of an eye, Song Qi fell in response! Ma Tai don't look fat, his riding skills can be described as exquisite, and he once again rushed to the front of the team! I don't know if it's because of anger, or because he's too fat, the flesh on his face is trembling under the lightning-fast gallop! Lean forward, and the big axe in your hand rises again! Suddenly! His huge body shook, and a white feather hit the armor on his chest! He didn't seem to feel any pain, and broke the shaft of the arrow casually, and his speed was not slowed down. Seeing that the enemy was close at hand, a horse suddenly caught up, gradually passed him, and was the first to crash into the enemy! It's the young player!
The hastily formed formation was once again rushed to pieces, and the soldiers of the Jin Army were knocked out by the forces that were shaking the mountains, and they screamed wildly! Mattei's axe once again showed its power, sweeping through the iron armor with a sweep of the axe, and the flesh and blood flew everywhere!
"Formation again!" Lou Su repeated the same words, and his soldiers repeated the same actions! After the cavalry of the Song army came out through the formation, no matter how far they were rushed, these fierce Beiyi would gather in the same direction again! Lou Su knew very well that if the Song army rushed like this, no matter how brave and tenacious the Jin army was, it would not take him five rounds, and the remaining strength of his troops would be rushed to the point that he could no longer be combined. But he is not afraid, even if you wipe out all my soldiers, what can you do? Your main force is about to retreat, and you have no power to return to the sky!
In a hurry, he unintentionally glanced south. At this glance, the commander of the Jin Army was shocked! The Song army, which was about to flee just now, formed a formation at this time and was advancing towards the center of the battlefield! Lou Su soon realized what this Song Jun wanted to do! At this time, almost all the cavalry units of the Jin army were repeatedly attacking the division, Xu Sheng's two armies. Most of the infantry was also entangled with the heavy infantry of the Western Army in the middle of the battlefield. The purpose of this Song army advancing to the center was to divide the battlefield into two and compress the room for maneuver of the Jin army's cavalry! But the problem is that as soon as you swing to the middle, you first limit yourself, and then you also divide the Song army into two sections. This kind of practice can be said to be harmful to others and not good for oneself, Song will be beaten crazy?
Time did not allow Wanyan Lousu to think too much, because the Song cavalry that came by surprise launched a third impact! Marshal Jin couldn't help but turn from shock to anger! You Xu Ma Jun, I want to see how long I can rush! Shoot the arrows! Shoot the arrows!
The remnant sun gradually sinks in the west, reflecting the sky in a blood-red color! This unprecedented Armageddon continues! The ground was covered with the corpses of the Song and Jin armies, with blood stains, some of which had already shown a dark red color. But the soldiers of the two countries trampled on the bodies of their comrades, still fighting to the death!
At this time, I am afraid that no one, including the commanders of the two sides, thinks about the good or bad situation of the war, let alone the significance of this battle for the two countries. All of them are just instinctively attacking, defending, fighting, and fighting. Preserve yourself by all means and destroy the enemy...... The edge of the knife had been rolled, the barrel of the gun had been broken, and the soldiers of both armies were tired from the morning to the present. Even the Jurchen Iron Cavalry, which is known as "can't fight a hundred rounds, how can it be called a horse army", its offensive is far less fierce than before. Yelu Ma 5 commanded the cavalry and repeatedly attacked Qin Fengbing and the Shaanxi Chinese army. But he found that since the support of the Song army arrived, the enemy who should have been scattered began to resist stubbornly! Every time he attacked, it became more and more difficult, and the rush just now was not only suppressed by the bow and crossbow, but even almost wrapped in the enemy formation!
The horses of countless knights were covered with blood, and even the pure white horse that Ma Wu himself rode had turned into a red horse. Licking his dry lips and swallowing a mouthful of saliva, he raised his iron spear again, stared at the regrouping enemy and shouted, "Charge! There was no earth-shattering cry, only the sound of the trumpet sounding powerlessly. The tired Jurchen knight urged the war horse, gritted his teeth and ran again.
Compared with the Jin army, the Western Army seems to be more miserable. Subjected to several successive attacks by enemy cavalry, the formation was broken up again and again, and then formed again and again. I don't know how many of my comrades have been struck by the enemy's horses, and how many brothers have been killed by the enemy's scimitars and spears. The soldiers' endurance has reached the limit!
The guns were the shields of the entire army, and every time the enemy cavalry attacked, they bore the brunt of it. At this time, the spearmen clutched their weapons and once again crouched in front of the incomplete array. When the cavalry of the Jin Army rushed again, I am afraid that more than one person thought that they really couldn't hold on...... And the crossbowmen are not necessarily much better, the rapid breathing, the overdrawn physical strength, make these long-range killers who should be as calm as ice cubes impetuous. Even the hand on the bowstring is shaking! There is no one to capture the target anymore, and where there are many people, they will shoot arrows...... At this moment, the trumpets suddenly sounded in the charging cavalry group of the Jin Army! I don't know if it's a psychological effect, but the officers and men of the Western Army felt that after the horn sounded, the speed of the enemy's cavalry charge was obviously faster!
Some archers couldn't wait for the enemy to enter the best range and let go of their hands, and a rain of arrows shot out, and many enemy horses fell, but the rest still crashed violently! It wasn't the most ferocious attack, but it was the most effective! Because of this time, the formation of the Western Army collapsed faster than any time! Ma Wu smelled the breath of victory, and he knew that the complete collapse of the Western Army was almost there!
But when he didn't remember the first few times he had revealed the Song army's array, he suddenly found that just three hundred steps away, the Song army that had wanted to escape just now hastily formed a formation and blocked his U-turn! Don't think about it, this Khitan general doesn't dare to stop, because once he stops, or if the speed slows down, he may be blocked at both ends!
"Rush! When you meet on a narrow road, the brave will win! "Yelu Ma Wu seems to have been knocked out, whether it is the Jurchens, Bohai people, or Xi people, they can't understand Chinese. A rain of arrows is coming! The Golden Rider, who has been hit hard, has once again experienced a major attrition! Ma Wu's heart was like fire, he almost crushed his teeth, and he held the iron spear to attack with all his might!
Suddenly, his grown body shook violently! An iron arrow pierced his left arm! He almost fell off his horse! Before he came back to his senses, the war horse had already slammed into the enemy formation with him!
The sky was blood-red, and the sun had witnessed a day of slaughter, and it seemed that it couldn't bear to look at it anymore. More than 100,000 people are fighting in such a big place! In the most primitive aggressiveness, one side wanted to take the strategic point of the Southern Dynasty and defeat this army known as the "Western Army". One side has the idea of defending the land and defending the country and fighting against Di Yi, and wants to block this fierce and fierce iron army. No one has a reason to retreat!
"Look! The Song army retreated! I don't know who howled in the chaos.
Immediately afterwards, countless voices shouted in various languages: "Song Jun has fled!" Escaped! ”
As soon as he rushed out, Yelu Mawu, who still had an arrow stick in his arm, hurriedly looked back! Sure enough, the Song army was defeated! And it's not small! They all panicked and rushed south with their heads in their hands! Good! That's great! And what about the Western Army? In the end, I still can't bear it! Our army has won! Finally won! This is the best time to wave your troops to cover up and expand the results!
At this time, on the other side of the battlefield, Lou Su was simply rushed by the cavalry of the Song Army! You only rode two or three thousand, and repeatedly rushed at me four times! You don't want to die? Do you really think that the Song army will make a hard bow? Don't you know that we Jurchens started in the mountains and forests, and hunted fierce beasts with bows and arrows before they were ten years old? I'll let you rush!
When the righteousness was extreme, he heard the shouts from the south like thunder, and turned his head to look, but it was the Song army that was defeated! His heart fell to the ground like a big stone, and since he had the chance to win, he no longer worried about anything, and ordered angrily: "Crucilate this horse army to death for me!" ”
Ma Tai was sweating profusely, soaking through his clothes, and gasped and said to Orihiko beside him: "I can't rush it!" There are only so many thousand horses left, and then they are all folded in it! ”
The young general of the Zhe family carried two arrow shafts on his body, and a pair of tiger eyes were full of bloodshots, gritting his teeth and saying: "Rush him again!" I made a military order in front of the prime minister, if the division is defeated, it will be the prestige of my family for hundreds of years! ”
Ma Tai glanced at him, I have been messing with Brother Jiu since I was a child, is it not as good as this broken boy! Rush and rush! Even if you die here, you should also be divided!
Just as he was attacking again, he suddenly heard a soldier shouting from behind: "Reinforcements! Reinforcements are here again! ”
Mattei turned his barely visible neck to look back, and suddenly laughed presumptuously, "Haha! Yang Liudao is here! ”
"Yang Liudao? Who? Orihiko asked.
"Two arms and four elephants are powerless, and a body is unstoppable! The army said that he was Shi Wansui, and Han Baohu and other famous generals of the previous generation were reborn, and I am afraid that he would not be able to fight him! Matthew was overjoyed, and his face trembled with a wry smile.
Hearing this, Zhi Yanye snorted coldly and stopped answering. After a while, I saw Yang Zaixing rushing over on a single horse! Seeing Ma Tai, he asked loudly: "Ma Commander!" What is the state of the war? ”
Ma Tai didn't answer, he pointed the axe to the battlefield, Yang Zaixing looked at it for a moment, and a cruel smile flashed on his face: "You guys rest, watch me kill him and turn on his back!" When he had finished speaking, he raised the iron spear in his hand, which had made the enemy fearful, pull the reins, and turn back to his horse.
In front of me, about 2,000 light horsemen galloped in! When the soldiers first saw the fierceness of the battle, the scale of the battle, and the tragic battle, many people were frightened and unabashedly showed their faces. But I heard Yang Zaixing shouting loudly: "The net of the Emperor and the Folding of the Scriptures has been laid down, and the Jurchen will be defeated!" You wait with me to kill the general and capture Lou Su! Promoted to the third level of official, the reward is 100,000 yuan! ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the young general of the folded family raised his gun and shouted: "You are driving all the way, you are tired, and rest, watch me rush him again!" You lead the army to sweep the tail! ”
Yang Zaixing was furious when he heard it! The gun pointed directly at him and scolded: "Huangkou Xiaoer! Ann dare to look down on me! ”
Ma Tai's military rank was the highest, and when he saw that the two of them were fighting among themselves, he hurriedly shouted: "The enemy is now, what are you two doing!" Aren't you afraid of military sanctions! ”
The two warriors glanced at each other, sneered disdainfully, and stared straight at the battlefield ahead. Mattei didn't think about it, and said directly: "I'll tie the two parts together and break it!" ”
"Good!" Yang Zaixing's word came out, and the war horse under his crotch struck out like lightning! When the horse army behind him saw it, they urged the war horses and shouted forward! How can Orihiko no show weakness? Regardless of the arrow wound on his body, he took the lead and ran out!
When Lou Su saw that the Song army came to help again, he already had an ominous premonition in his heart. But as soon as he thought that the three western armies had begun to show signs of rout, he cheered up and prepared to meet the enemy. Thinking about it, as long as I block or contain the Song army that came to help, Ma Wu will definitely be able to completely defeat the Seed Master and the Xu family brothers!
But he seemed to be wrong, the tenacious counterattack of the Western Army and the successive reinforcements were a heavy blow to the psychology and morale of the soldiers of the Jin Army! The most important thing is that the two armies have been exhausted and at the end of their crossbows. If there are no reinforcements, whoever persists until the end will be the winner! But the Song army received reinforcements twice in succession, so that the situation that had been dumped towards the Jin army was gradually turned back!
The most intuitive manifestation is that when Ma Tai, Yang Zaixing, and Zhe Yanye concentrated their forces to launch a fierce attack, the Jin army no longer desperately wanted to reorganize the formation as before. Lou Su was knocked off his horse by the rebel army, and if it weren't for the generals who protected him, he would have been trampled into pulp!
"Marshal! Withdraw! The Song army came from the north, thinking that it had cut off our army's retreat! If it is ......" Before a Jurchen general finished speaking, Lou Su roared wildly, and the scimitar in his hand was killed and killed!
"Retire! Die! "Holding a bloody knife, the Marshal of the Jin Army has a hideous face!" The battle has reached this point, and whoever grits his teeth and holds on will win! The Song army is showing signs of defeat! The warriors of my Dajin Kingdom, covering Liao and attacking Song, no one can stop them! Don't you be afraid of the Western Army! You don't have to form a formation, block it, and twist it up! ”
The sun had set nearly halfway, and under the afterglow, the noisy battlefield was no longer as good as before. The officers and men of the two armies, who were already physically and mentally exhausted, fought together in this small area with their last breath! It is already difficult to distinguish from the formation which is the Song army and which is the Jin army. Corpses are almost all over the battlefield, and it is not an exaggeration to say that there is a river of blood!
Xu Wei rode alone, standing on a slightly higher ground on the north side of the battlefield, his fierce gaze scanning the chaotic battlefield. This young man, who was called the "Purple Golden Tiger" by the Jurchens and was promoted as the "Little Cardinal Minister" by the heroes of the two rivers, actually had a fierce look like a wolf and a tiger on his face! Behind him, a battle flag of "Loyal and Brave Xu Wei" is particularly eye-catching!
After looking at it for a while, he turned his head to the west, and there, the front army was gathered to control Yang Yan's heavy steps. The soldiers were out of breath, and as soon as they landed on the shore, they ran along the Wei River as if they were dead, and they had to carry this equipment and equipment, how could they have arrived if it were not for the desire for victory?
Wu Jie galloped over, staring at the battlefield, and could not hide his excitement in his heavy tone: "Zhe Jingluo led the army to cross to the north bank, Yao Pingzhong occupied the pontoon bridge, and Lou Su had no way to retreat!" ”
After finishing speaking, seeing Xu Wei smiling and silent, he suggested: "Recruit the prime minister, kill it!" ”
"Yang Yan!" Xu Wei shouted loudly.
"In!" Yang Da had already abandoned his war horse at this time, carrying his curved blade spear, holding his helmet, so anxious that he almost scratched his ears and cheeks like a monkey.
"Carry my military flag and surprise Marshal Lou Su." Xu Wei gave an order, Yang Yan rushed over and grabbed the battle flag and returned to the front of the formation, shouting: "Xu Cheng! ”
"In!" Xu Wei, the nephew, came out of the formation, his eyes were blazing, and he had the style of his father.
"You make me a flag bearer!" Yang Yan handed over the battle flag to Xu Cheng, put on his helmet anxiously, faced his subordinates, and said impassionedly, "Brothers! The Golden Dog is almost finished! Let's just go up and beat the water dogs! Capture Lou Su alive! ”
"Capture Lou Su alive! Capture Lou Su alive! Capture Lou Su alive! "Thousands of iron armor, raise their arms and shout! I have long forgotten the hard work of the march, and the morale is like a macro!
After Yang Yan finished inspiring, like an ordinary soldier, he stepped into the array, and there was only one eye left, and the fierce light was revealed! Gritting his teeth, he said sharply: "Unfold!" ”
The attack formation unfolded in an instant, and Hujie's first-class main infantry troops were armed with swords, shields, and axes, ready to attack! All of them look like tigers with claws on their feet!
"Drums! Help! General Wu Jie waved his hand, and under the slightly higher terrain, the soldiers who had just raised the war drums waved their drum sticks and played a majestic momentum!
"Attack!" After Yang Yan howled out this sentence with almost all his strength, the Great Wall of Steel began to advance! The pace of rectification, the high fighting spirit, and thousands of ironclad elites faced the stubborn enemy and launched a fatal blow! The "Loyal and Brave" battle flag was located in the big array, and under the sound of war drums, it immediately attracted countless eyes!
Xu Yuan can be regarded as having fought for decades, but at this time, when he saw his cousin's military flag appear, this Jingyuan marshal almost had the urge to cry! Lao Jiu, Lao Jiu, you are here! If you delay for a while, my brother will probably have to sacrifice his life for the country!
In the chaos, the bloodstained face, the seed master who had suffered several wounds was shocked to hear the news with the support of the soldiers, and almost fainted! The Purple Tiger is here, it's not in vain for me to grit my teeth and hold on!
And the happiest is none other than Xu Sheng, and there is no one more than the Shaanxi Chinese Army under his command. When the familiar military flag came into view, even the most tired soldiers were suddenly courageous! Fight back!
On the vast battlefield, the sound of shouting and killing suddenly burst out! It was even more fierce than at the beginning of the war!
