At this time, Ma Jiadu went to the ferry and stayed behind in the camp of the Central Army and Chen Quen. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The Chinese army where Si Xingyuan was left behind, the soldiers of the Sizhou battalion and the Liao people at the Shangdu port were slaughtered with blood, but the battle arrays over there were covered by the hustle and bustle of the sky, so naturally no one would know about it.

The former army bombed the camp, and when they heard the noise over there, more than 10,000 Chinese troops inevitably followed the camp.

After all, the two camps are not far apart, so they will naturally be affected.

In the chaos, the soldiers who were sleeping in the tent immediately rushed out naked with their weapons and slashed and killed each other.

In the blink of an eye, the camp was full of screams, and fires broke out in the sky.

No matter how the officers maintained, it was useless, and the middle and junior officers who rushed out to restrain the troops never returned, and the devil knows whether they were killed by the rebels or threatened by the crowd.

Standing on the lookout platform at the gate, Chen Qu, the imperial envoy of the Chinese army, the commander of the six armies, and the Huainan envoy, had a sweet throat, and spit out a mouthful of hot blood with a "wow".

It's over, the Chinese army is finished.

After spitting out this mouthful of blood, Chen Quan suddenly had a face like gold paper, and his body was biased, and he was about to fall to the ground.

Next to him, several generals of the Chinese army shouted at the same time, and stretched out their hands to support him: "Commander." ”

"Military envoy."

"Father."

Shouting everything.

His son Chen Zhongmin hugged his father and cried: "Daddy, it's not the first time that the army has encountered it, why do you have to do this?" ”

Yes, my father was a veteran of the Western Army and used to serve in the Yan Army. After Jing Kangnian entered the defense of Gyeonggi, he fought for thousands of miles, and the elite of the Western Army in the army also lost their sharpness in this defeat after defeat, and the number of personnel was greatly reduced. After fleeing from Kaifeng to Jiankang, the morale of the troops has been exhausted, and there will be two battalions like this from time to time.

However, when a large army is stationed, it cannot all be gathered together, and it needs to be dispersed into several parts of thousands of people. This has the advantage of being convenient to replenish supplies on the spot, and can also prevent the plague in the army when there are too many people.

Only in wartime, the great armies are assembled in one place.

If a large force bombs the camp, it doesn't matter if the camp is bombed.

"Father, don't be sad, when the morning dawns and the soldiers are quiet, order will naturally be restored."

"Yes, yes, the major general is right." The generals spoke out of comfort.

Chen Qu's eyes were full of tears, he pointed to the camp that was burned by the fire, and muttered: "It's over, it's over, the baggage weapons and grain have been burned out, even if all the routs are collected tomorrow, what can we do?" If the Jurchens cross the river to attack, what will we rely on to resist? ”

When they heard this, their hearts were gloomy.

The backbone of the army left behind is the Western Army, which uses the establishment of the Western Army of the Great Song Dynasty and uses the same tactics.

When the Great Song Dynasty was founded, because the horse farms in the sixteen states of Yanyun were occupied by the Khitans, there was a shortage of horses in the army. When Tong Guanfa sent the country's available troops to the Northern Expedition to Youyan, the light cavalry of the Shengjie Army and the heavy armored cavalry of the Baiqi Army in Wang Yu's hands did not exceed 10,000 people.

Since the formation of the army, the Western Army has fought viciously with the party members in Hengshan for a hundred years, and has suffered enough of the loss of no horses, and has also performed a set of tactics of breaking horses on foot. In wartime, they used their bows and archers to shoot at their feet, and they marched slowly with infantry in foot armor.

Relying on this means, the Western Army also achieved many victories on the battlefield. It's just that the enemy can ride a horse and retreat calmly after being defeated by the infantry, but the Song army has no way to pursue and is unable to expand the results.

It is precisely because the Song army fought from battle to battle, relying on advanced weapons and equipment, and the consumption of materials was also huge. Take the Northern Expedition as an example, hundreds of thousands of troops and people traveled in a beautiful way, people ate horses and chewed horses, every day was an astronomical amount, and the logistics and transportation lines were pulled from Yanjing City to the Yellow River.

In wartime, 100,000 sets of armor, hundreds of millions of arrows, soldiers' clothes and quilts, monthly military salaries, money for promotion, rewards used to boost morale during wartime, pensions for soldiers killed after the war, and resettlement of wounded soldiers.

Front-line combat warriors in the army often laugh at themselves as "penniless men on the battlefield", which means that their lives are only worth a penny. In fact, the Great Song Dynasty rewarded soldiers when they sent them to fight. The more tragic the war, the more so.

The soldiers went into battle with their heads in their hands, and that was to see the real silver. Without money, there is no way to move at all.

In this way, during the Northern Expedition, the country exhausted the accumulation of the last twenty years, and even the old money that had rotted and condensed into a piece of money in the inventory of the Divine Sect was found, and the treasury was so empty that it could run horses.

King Kang succeeded to the throne, and the reason why the official family was defeated again and again and transferred directly to Jiangnan was not only because the Jurchen was too fierce, but also had a lot to do with the fact that the country was too poor.

At the beginning, when Zong Zezong Rulin was in Kaifeng, his main job was to find money.

This time, the left-behind division withdrew to Jiankang, and because the troops were too poor along the way, most of the troops were scattered.

After crossing the river, relying on the wealth of several provinces in the south of the Yangtze River and Jiangning, the army was replenished and its morale was restored.

But in today's chaos, there was a fire in the camp, and I don't know how many supplies were burned.

Even if the soldiers who have quieted down are gathered tomorrow morning, what can they do?

Tens of thousands of troops are stationed together, and they are simply a monster that eats money, and the money spent every day is like flowing water. Confronting the Jurchens across the river, I don't know how long this battle will last, and Jiankang Mansion can't afford it.

Everyone is a veteran soldier, how can they not understand this truth.

For a moment, the entire lookout fell silent.

After a long time, Chen Zhongmin wiped his eyes: "Daddy, the situation is out of control, I can only wait for the soldiers to slowly return to quiet." Don't worry too much about your old man, most of my people are from Bianliang, and there is nowhere to go after crossing the river, so I will naturally come back at dawn. As for the lost materials, let Du Xiang think of a way to see if he can squeeze out a little more from the ground. ”

"Yes, yes, everything has Du Xiang, he will think about it." Everyone comforted Chen Quan with all their mouths.

Du Chong is brutal and incompetent, and when the battle is like this, everyone is resentful in their hearts. However, this person has an advantage, that is, he is arrogant, especially after becoming the right minister, in order to enrich the military resources, he is also knocking on the marrow of the locality, and he is able to do everything possible to extort and extort violently.

With him and the rich Jiangnan area, everyone is not hungry.

Hearing this, Chen Quan smiled bitterly: "I am a member of the old Yan Army, and the last time Du Xiang beheaded General Ma Gao, I made him dissatisfied because of my words and pleading. In the past month, everyone knows how the left-behind division has treated us. Let's say it's the Chinese army, but Du Xiang has always set up his line at Qi Fang and never came to us. ”

"I'm not sad because of the barracks, and I don't care about the loss of supplies. The old man is just sad, how did my Western Army become like it is now? Speaking of this, Chen Kui's eyes flashed with tears: "In the past, when the old and small races were together, it was not that the army did not bomb the battalion. Let's take Liu Yanqing and Wang Yu as examples, once the battalion is bombed in the army, it only needs to send people to suppress it, and it will not take a moment to suppress it. But now it's the middle of the night, and the troops still can't be restrained. How did my Great Song Western Army become like this, is it one defeat after another that makes everyone disheartened? In this way, what should I do in the future? ”

And they all bowed their heads.

Chen Zhongmin has served in the army with his father since he was a child, and now looking back, how mighty and majestic the Western Army was at that time, and now, where did those hot-blooded men go?

Yingxiao is out of control, and everyone is helpless. A breath of depression was held in his chest, as if it was about to explode.

A puff of smoke hit, and a violent cough sounded from the lookout. Chen Zhongmin couldn't hold back any longer, and hurriedly poked his head to the north, wanting to suck in a cold river breeze.

Previously, he led his men to run in the camp for half a day to maintain military discipline, and he was already tired and weak, and his physical strength was on the verge of overdraft.

In the distance, the river water is reflected red by the firelight, slightly undulating, like a vermilion. The snow is still falling, and in half an hour, the sky will be hazy and bright. The sky in the southeast is not like Shaanxi, it is lit early, and I hope that the chaotic soldiers will be able to calm down at that time.

Suddenly, Chen Zhongmin saw a little black slowly moving in the red waves.

At first, Chen Zhongmin thought it was a hallucination caused by being too tired. Subconsciously rubbed his eyes, and when he looked at it again, he saw that the entire view had been occupied by the warship.

"It's ......"

He clung to the railing of the beldebut and stretched out his body as hard as he could.

There were almost twenty large ships, and in the light of the fire, the warships were crowded with black figures, and a large number of war horses were mixed with them. The people on the ship were all wearing armor, and the weapons in their hands almost lit up the sky.

Cavalry, a lot of cavalry crossed the river.

Jurchen, it is the elite cavalry of Jurchen!

Not only him, but everyone on the lookout found the enemy, and in an instant, everyone's faces were like ashes. Not to mention that the troops are now completely disorganized, and there is no way to organize effective resistance. Even in peacetime, when the troops are fighting in formation, how can the low morale and loose military discipline of the Chinese army withstand the impact of the Jin cavalry?

Lost, lost completely. Today, not only is the army left behind in the division finished, but I am afraid that Jiankang will not be able to hold it.

No one spoke, seemingly stunned by the sudden scene.

Closer, closer, the big ship of the Jin army saw the burning camp, and there was no need to hide, and at the same time let out a shout and rowed the oars quickly.

Majiadu has been useless for a long time, and the sediment at the ferry has accumulated for many years, forming a large shoal.

"Boom" sounded in a row, and the ships ran aground one after another. Under the use of great inertia, the Jurchens standing on the bow of the boat fell into the water one after another, standing waist-deep in the water and screaming.

On board was loud and unbridled laughter.

Then, with a few sounds, the springboard was directly put into the water, and in the long neighing, the Jurchens turned over their horses and rushed into the water, wielding heavy weapons such as flails, sticks, axes, and hammers, as if slapping the shore and rushing towards the Chinese army camp.

It was impossible to count how many of them there were, and the black pressure pressed on one by one, blocking the fire projected onto the river.

The surroundings suddenly went dark.

At the beginning, the Jurchens did not have any formation, and they began to form a formation as they ran, and gradually formed a four-column parallel formation, moving like a wall.

The river was tumbling and tumbling.

The sound of horses' hooves sounded, and the whole ground was shaken slightly, and the watchtower couldn't stop shaking, and it was already unstable.

Finally, someone screamed bitterly: "Enemy attack, enemy attack!" ”

"Jurchen Tartar!"

The gongs and drums shook the sky, and a sparse number of arrows poured over and fell into the ranks of the Jurchen cavalry.

A cavalry landed on the ground, trampled by the angry hooves of the horses with a crisp cracking sound. It is strange to say that the cavalry who was hit by the arrow refused to snort until death, and the ferocity of the Jurchens can be seen.
