One, report! Great marshal, the Jin army avoids Song Gong and comes back! Xu Cheng sent a loud report.

Xu Wei, who was commanding the formation of various units, was not surprised, and ordered: "Okay, let Xu Cheng withdraw to Song Gongyuan, the main purpose is to delay the Jin army's advance, and now that the other party is advancing in a roundabout way, this purpose has been achieved." By the time they reach the battlefield, I'll be in battle.

Behind the Purple Golden Tiger, spears were like a forest, and the spearmen wearing dozens of pounds of heavy armor were neatly arranged, lined up in a phalanx more than 100 steps long and more than 10 columns. Unlike the previous "stacked formations", it was not the archers who followed the guns, but the robe formation. All flexible and light single-tip robes, each robe car is equipped with "earth-shaking thunder." Three. This is after repeated calculations by the craftsmen of the capital institute, and the single-tip robe hits a few pounds of "earth-shaking thunder." "The maximum range is about one hundred and fifty paces, and three shots are already the limit at this distance.

There is another reason for placing the robe group behind the spearmen, that is, once the battle is unfavorable and the enemy cavalry breaks into our camp, this robe group can form an obstacle to a certain extent. Protect the tens of thousands of crossbow camps behind.

Ma Tai and Wu Xian led the cavalry of the two armies of Shaanxi, Huajing and Yuan, sheltered on both flanks of the large array, and waited for the formation of the horse army to retreat. If the battle doesn't go well. then save it. If the enemy is defeated, chase him. Heavy infantry armed with broadswords and heavy axes and long shields were still lined up on the left and right, encasing the crossbowmen. However, the elite infantry under the first command of Yang Yan was all reequipped with the long and narrow long knives of Jingzhaoxia and used them as the second echelon assault force in addition to the cavalry.

Xu Yuan's Jingyuan Army was also the same as the Shaanxi Chinese Army. Lined up to wait for Beiyi. At this time, the formation had been laid out, and the hearts of the generals were finally relaxed. The net wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, but the sound of the horn came out of nowhere and startled them to look around!

Xu Weixun looked for prestige, and in the northeast, behind the small hill, he turned a group of cavalry. It was fast, and in the blink of an eye, it was hundreds of paces away. This horse army had about hundreds of horsemen, and they came straight to the Song army's main array, but they did not rush directly. Rather, it is a peep around the formation. Xu Wei ignored it, and kept his eyes on the corner of the hill.

Finally, a large banner was slowly revealed, with the cavalry in front and the infantry behind, winding from behind the mountain like a big snake. The number of people moving is innumerable, and the Jin army has come a lot.

"Boss, left." Wu Xue said loudly.

Xu Wei turned to the left, on the wide ground over there. The crowd of black crushing people is converging on them. Xu Wei watched the film, and suddenly secretly screamed that it was not good, Xu Cheng had not withdrawn yet! If he has three strengths and two weaknesses, how can I explain to my eldest brother? When I'm in a hurry. He saw a dark shadow approaching on the straight road a few miles away.

Almost at the same time, the outpost cavalry of the Jin army also appeared that the western army troops stationed in Song Gongyuan were retreating, and the horn sounded in vain, and the hundreds of horsemen turned their horses. went straight to Xu Cheng. Xu Wei was shocked! Before he wanted to order Mattei to immediately lead the cavalry to meet him, he called out one from his mouth. "Horses. words, but I heard the sound of hooves in the Jingyuan army formation not far away, and when I looked around, I saw a small general leading a hundred and ten horsemen to leave the main formation, and rushed straight to the north, who is not Yang Rong? The eldest brother is in a hurry. sent out his own escort horse army, in the end, father and son.

Two cavalry armies, sprinting towards the same spot from different directions, attracted everyone's attention. I saw that Yang Rong took away the spear, took the iron bow from the saddle and shot an arrow, and at a distance of one hundred and sixty or seventy paces, the enemy cavalry actually arrived. However, in the blink of an eye, the young general of the Yang family had already shot two arrows, none of which were missing.

Strange to say, this golden horse seems to have been ordered. As soon as he saw the Song cavalry responding, it was estimated that they were going to collide together, so they turned around, avoided Yang Rong's department, and moved closer to the main force.

"It is worthy of being a descendant of the Yang family in Linzhou, amazing." Wu Jie praised.

As he spoke, Xu Cheng was getting closer and closer. Yang Rong led his troops to catch it, let the infantry army go first, and led the horse army behind, while he himself stayed at the very end. Spear guard.

The sentry cavalry of the Jin army was about to move, Yang Rong always fell behind, and it was not until Xu Cheng returned to the battle safely that he lifted the reins, and the war horse under his crotch neighed, and the person stood up! Then he spread his hooves and ran back like lightning!

"People are like crowns of jade, horses are like dragons! Good! It was rare for Xu Wei to praise anyone so unabashedly. Yang Rong should feel honored.

There are more and more Jin troops, and they are moving opposite each other left and right. Stop at the straight. The military flag stood in the middle. I don't understand what is written on it, but one thing is certain. The people under his banner are by no means ordinary. You see, there were more than a dozen horsemen under the banner, all of them in battle armor and straddling horses. In the Jin army, no matter the infantry and cavalry, there were only a few equipped with armor, even the Song army. Even the elite Western army could not be a heavy armor for everyone. If that is the case, no matter how strong the financial resources of the Great Song Dynasty are, they will have to be in vain. Therefore, under the banner of the army, he must be the commander of the Jin Army.

It's just that Xu Wei didn't know that the Jurchens still gave him some thin noodles, and Sticky Han came in person.

"Where is the Tiger Army?" Sticky Han looked at the well-organized army on the opposite side, but turned a blind eye, only looking for Hu Jie and Xu Wei.

Yelu Ma looked at it for a moment, pointed to the banner of "Loyal and Brave Xu Wei" and said: "Prime Minister, that place is the Tiger Army!" ”

"Take a look." Before Sticky Han's words fell, he had already instigated the war horse to go into battle. Go straight to the other side. Panicked living girl, silver ear, Xi Bu few Jin Jun brave generals followed closely, for fear that he would make a mistake.

Running out of the land of about two arrows, and then it is estimated that it will enter the range of the Divine Arm Bow, and the sticky Han Fang just strangled the continent above board, and looked at the large formation of the Shaanxi and Chinese Army, "This is the formation used by the Hu'er Army for a long time?" Muhan asked sideways to Jerumawu. It's just that Ma Wu can't answer this question, because he has seen the "stacking array" and the complete face is already hanging. When Ma Wuhe, Weisu and others besieged Pingyang, Xu Wei relied on the city to fight back.

"Yes, the spear is in the front, and the bow and crossbow are in the back. The Ma army is protected on both wings, this is the formation that the Purple Gold Tiger is accustomed to, but the Yanyin technique can suffer Xu Wei's loss outside Pingyang City, and he is quite familiar with this formation. Several main features have been caught. But that's all that has been said. But he was puzzled, "The eyes are not in this array, but there are more full cars." I don't know why. ”

Mu Han observed carefully, nodded and said: "It is indeed strict, this kind of formation, if you directly send the horse army to attack from the front, it is a self-defeating way, and the Iron Floating Slaughter may not be able to rush." Why did you fail miserably in the Battle of Dingrong? ”

Dingrong is a lingering shadow in the heart of Zuo, a cadre of the Jinxi Route Army, so he asked this. Everyone was silent, each holding the reins in both hands, straightening their waists, looking straight ahead, and not daring to wipe their faces with sweat. Miserable, indeed miserable, the 100,000 army was broken in half, and the number of people who were squeezed into Weishui and drowned is uncountable, it is really an unprecedented fiasco since the founding of Dajin!

"Concubine Su is also a famous general in a hundred battles, and she actually made such a mistake! The Western Army is known as the elite of the Southern Dynasties, and has been entangled with the party for more than 100 years. Tell me, how to break this array in front of you? Sticky Han asked, looking ahead.

"First block it with the infantry army, and wait for the two armies to entangle. Then the horse army attacked its flank. "Wanyan Yinshu can suggest.

Sticky Han said with a sullen voice, "Hmph: In the battle of the Xiaoxi Army, Wanyan Tuhe fought like this, several times that of the Purple Gold Tiger, and he didn't know the winner until it was dark. ”

At this time, the young general Wanyan Huonu, the son of the commission, said: "The horse army is attacking and harassing. ”

Although his words were brief, he received a approving look from Sticky Han, no wonder Emperor Taizu said, "This son will be a famous general one day." "It's really good. Holding the pergola and looking at the sun, it was estimated that there would be another hour as noon, so he turned the horse's head and said, "The southerners think that my Jurchen likes the cold. Unable to tolerate the scorching heat, today our army will fight a battle under the scorching sun for the Purple Gold Tiger.

Besides, on the side of the Song army, I had already seen more than a dozen horsemen leave the formation, and they grabbed out to peep at our army. is still pointing at his hands and feet there, as if he is judging his feet, making people look like a bird, but there is no order from above, and no one dares to act rashly. The 40,000 horse infantry army maintained a strict formation and let the poisonous sun bake, and I stood still. Time wore on, and the Jin army did not seem to be in a hurry to attack, and when all their troops arrived, they were loosely arrayed. Because the Jin army knew that the Song army had no cavalry advantage, he was not afraid that you would suddenly rush over.

Xu Wei took off his helmet and held it in his hand, beads of sweat on his face panting and his cheeks flowing. Let's be honest. This time, Jin Jun's various abnormal behaviors made him feel vaguely uneasy in his heart, he had never directly fought with Sticky Han, and when he was in Gong County, he was only harassing each other with his two elder brothers. Therefore, there is no way to understand the characteristics of Sticky Han's command, it is said that this person is violent, but he can be the minister of a country and hold the power of a country, I am afraid it is not "violent." It can be summed up in two words.

Suddenly, he appeared in front of the Jin army on the opposite side, and the cavalry was gathering, neatly putting on their helmets, ready to meet the enemy. As soon as Wu Jie saw it, he knew that the other party wanted to use cavalry to assault head-on, and secretly said in his heart, why did he not learn after suffering several losses? Rush it, you can't kill it! These hundreds of single-sided robes are waiting!

The loud horn suddenly sounded, followed by the earth-shattering roar of the Jin Army! The so-called "preemptive" battle did not start, and he shouted a few voices to kill the opponent's sharpness!

The corners of Xu Wei's mouth twitched, and he raised his right hand with a sneer. Yang Yan held a curved blade gun in his hand, patting his breastplate, his eyes were cold, and a low roar came out of his throat.

"Tiger, tiger, tiger" is not only the Shaanxi Chinese army, including Jingyuan comrades, the soldiers are slapping their weapons and armor. A wave of roars better than a wave resounded through the four wilds!

The two armies of Song and Jin provoked each other and demonstrated, and no one was to be outdone!

Sticky Han in front of the Jin army nodded, not too disappointed, the Hu'er army at least had a decent momentum. However, he was not uncommon to Song Jun's fancy shelf, so he didn't care much about it, raised his hand and waved forward, and the kidnappers and horses on the left and right wings broke away from the main formation like arrows from the string and rushed to the opposite side!

When Xu Yuan saw it a few hundred steps away, he pulled out his saber, raised it high, and shouted: "Bow and crossbow, prepare."

After the command officers at all levels convey the order. More than 10,000 archers drew an arrow from the ground. Hitch on the string with the arrow pointing down and wait for the next command. Xu Yuan stared at each other intently. The raised sword did not move. It's almost within range of the Divine Arm Bow,,

But at this time, a surprising scene appeared. In the past, when fighting with the Jin army, the opponent often used the left and right wings of the crutch horses to attack, which is not unusual. But now, after the two crutches left the main formation, they galloped forward for a distance, but they did not move and attack in one place as before. It's pulling more and more open!

Xu Wei took the horsewhip and put the helmet on it, and looked forward, no, he didn't want to hit me in the front!

"Order, let the horse armies on both sides prepare to counterattack, and be on guard!" After getting Xu Wei's permission. Wu Jiebu gave the order, and he judged that the cavalry of the Jin army wanted to break into the formation from both sides.

But this time, even those who are good at fighting like Wu Jinqing guessed wrong, and the Jin army had no intention of approaching the Song army's big array at all! When all the cavalry of Lifang took out their bows and arrows, Xu Wei remembered the scene of the movie he had watched before, and the soldiers circled around the infantry formation

The sound of breaking the sky sounded in vain, and the sharp arrows flew towards the Song army camp with a roar!

"Archers on both sides counterattack!" Xu Wei's face was expressionless, and he shouted loudly. As soon as the military order was given, the heavy infantry guarding the flanks immediately knelt half-up, and the archers behind them were tearing open the bowstrings, looking for their targets. In the past, when fighting battles, enemy cavalry came at you, and even with your eyes closed, you could be shot. But not this time, the target is moving fast, and the formation is not dense. This is not only a test of the archer's skills, but also a matter of luck.

The Jurchen horse army's ability to ride and shoot is really good. In addition, the Song army could not move in order to maintain the formation. Every time a rain of arrows comes, soldiers fall to the ground with arrows, and the effect of the counterattack is greatly reduced compared to before!

"Whoosh" arrows kept flying towards the formation. At the very beginning. The soldiers still maintained excellent military literacy and stood still, but later, they watched their comrades hit arrows one after another. The formation began to stir,

"Marshal, the golden thief uses the horse army to attack and harass, this reserve continues, and the army is bound to be disheartened, do you send the cavalry out to intercept and kill?" Wu Jie asked worriedly.

Xu Wei was speechless for a while, the cavalry has good mobility, and now the Jin Army's style of play is called to promote strengths and avoid weaknesses. His incessant assault. Even if it can't cause serious casualties, it can be described as a heavy blow to morale! It is true that the horse army should be sent out to intercept and kill, the natural enemy of cavalry, before the appearance of hot weapons, can only be cavalry!

But those who are good at fighting do not worry about victory, but first think about defeat. If I send out the Ma army now, I will ask myself whether the cavalry of the two armies of Shaanxi, Huajing and Yuan can compare to the Jurchen cavalry? From this point of view, except for the cavalry of the Zizhejia army, which can compete with the Jurchens, I have never seen the cavalry of the Song army that can compete with the Jin army.

In case of episodes, this point of cavalry is consumed by the other side. What will I use as an assault force after that? If the battle is lost, what will be used to cover the retreat? Since the start of the Song and Jin wars, the Song army suffered the greatest loss. It didn't appear when the two armies were facing each other, but after the rout, the opponent waved his army to chase and kill!

"Marshal, make a decision!" Wu Jie shouted loudly.

"Up!" Xu Wei gritted his teeth and pouted the word. Because he saw that under the counterattack of the Song army's bow and arrow. The cavalry of the Jin Army stretched the distance further, and when shooting arrows, they did not shoot directly, but raised the angle to hang and shoot, anyway, you tens of thousands of people are stuck here and can't move. In just half an hour, the morale of our army will inevitably fall to the bottom!

Mattei began with the rush of the Jin cavalry. I was so anxious that I couldn't do anything, especially after seeing the golden cavalry constantly releasing arrows to harass the army, my eyes were even more red. Helplessly, there was no order from above, so he could only suppress his subordinates! The breath in my heart stirred up the internal organs and seemed to explode!

"The handsome man has an order! Ma Jun stepped forward to intercept and kill! ”

Finally waited for the order! Ma Tai lifted the big axe and howled at Wu Phosphorus: "You are left, I am right!" "After speaking, take the lead and rush out of the battle! Behind him, the angry cavalry followed closely and broke away from the main formation. Rush at the enemy cavalry like lightning!

In the distance, he saw the cavalry of the Song army dispatching. couldn't help but laugh and said Yelu Ma Wudao: "The cavalry of the Southern Army can only be used as a guard of honor and compete for power?" Ha ha! Look at how my Jurchen Xiao rode to break him! Eat the cavalry of the Purple Golden Tiger, in today's battle, I will play him ambush for thirty miles! ”

Under the attention of tens of thousands of brothers, Mattei took the lead and galloped ahead! That fat body didn't stop running in the slightest! The army only saw a divine horse carrying a hill, and he galloped wildly!

In front of them, it was the cavalry of the Jin Army that had just come back! Behind him, there are roaring comrades! In my ears, I am full of the sound of hunting!

Ma Er picked up the long axe, and on that face without a trace of folds and like a slow head, the killing intent was strong! War horses are fighting, and the enemy is close at hand! The subordinates behind him chased after him and went hand in hand with him! The reaction of the cavalry of the Jin army was also extremely fast, once the cavalry of the Song army attacked, they immediately lined up on both wings, put up an attack formation, collected bows and arrows, and held spears and scimitars. Rushing head-on!

Two galloping cavalry collided with a thousand pounds!

Mattei's big axe in his hand is suddenly swung! It's hard to imagine. Such a fat person can make such a heavy weapon so fast! Shi Fang's spear hadn't touched his body yet, and it had already been slashed out by the big axe with great power!

The screams filled the ears, and soon the two armies were separated, and the ground was littered with corpses and wounded soldiers! But after running a certain distance, the knights of the two armies immediately turned back to their horses' heads, formed a formation again, and once again moved to attack!

Cavalry battles are completely different from infantry entanglements, between two knights, one face to face will divide the victory! Either you die or I die! Simply and neatly, without any mud and water!

Mattei's left shoulder was bleeding, and in the heat of the battle, the cover arm may have bounced up, failing to protect his side. Let people slash it. At this time, this fat man who was in charge of the Tiger Horse Army and the official worshiped the capital eunuch had a hideous face. Looking left and right, I saw that the attack formation was already in place. With a wild howl, he carried the big axe again, and was the first to rush over!

It is often said that "round" is what is a round? In cavalry or chariot warfare, two armies hedge against each other, and when the short arms meet, it is called "together" after passing through the formation. Turn the horse's head and rush again, which is called "back" round from this. In addition to shouting that "Manwan cannot fight", the Jurchens also said that they "can't fight for a hundred rounds." What is the beggar army" to show off their combat endurance.
