Chapter 572: Victory

As the main force of the whole army, the elite of the elite, the generals of Qin Feng Shuaisi have made great efforts on it. In addition to selecting the best sources of troops, we have also given more thoughtful consideration to the treatment of officers and men, weapons and equipment, and daily training. For example, the charging tiger in front of him has changed a lot just from the appearance.

In the past, the heavy equipment of the various armies under Xu Wei was almost the same, a heavy armored iron helmet. Now, the three armies of Hujie, Panshi, and Breaking Formation have a clear division of functions, and Hujie, as an assault force, has abandoned the heavy and obstructive helmet and replaced it with a simple Fan Yang hat.

This is because in previous operations, the officers and men have summed up some experience. The defensibility of the iron helmet is actually relatively limited, like the two heavy steps of the breaking formation rock, because of its function, the iron helmet can be retained. Compared with the other two brother troops, the Hujie Army paid more attention to group tactics and relatively focused on individual soldiers. Therefore, its armor was reduced to thirty-six catties, and the hood was abandoned, which was much lighter than the armor of the Rock Army, which was often more than fifty catties.

Therefore, once the Tiger Jie army attacked in two directions, it would soon enter the range of the bow and crossbow at such a short distance as today

Han Chang's order was faithfully executed, and as soon as Hu Jie entered the range, the Jin army's various crossbow salvos and dense arrow rain formed an obstacle to hinder the impact of the heavy steps, the soldiers bent their heads and sprinted forward with all their might, and the comrades around them fell one after another, they did not stop, and they would not even look at it, like two iron hammers, smashing straight into the two wings of the Jin army

The sound of breaking the sky did not stop, and the bows and crossbows of the Jin army were doing their best to inflict maximum trauma on Hu Jie before the hand-to-hand engagement, but the distance between the two armies was so close today that the heavily equipped Hu Jie Chongbu could still maintain the fastest impact after entering the opponent's range

Han Chang was at the head of the city, watching Xu Hu'er's most elite soldiers inevitably crash into his flank broadswords, heavy axes, and bones, these cheap instruments naturally could not be compared with the Da Mo knives that had achieved the prestige of the Tang army, nor could they be "those who block the Mo swords, everyone will be broken", but they are practical and effective.

As soon as the hand-to-hand combat was encountered, the heavy weapons in the hands of the Hujie soldiers smashed down with their heads and brains, and the elite of the Western Army soon began to tear through the flank defense line of the Jin Army, desperately breaking in, trying to completely disrupt the formation of the Jin Army

"In this way, our army will be gnawed to the point that Xu Hu'er has no bones left," Zhang Shen shouted at the head of the city.

Han Chang didn't pay attention to it, because he was confident that with this little strength, Xu Hu'er couldn't tear apart my big array, didn't you see it, and the troops of his first wave of attack could no longer be pushed. On the contrary, after exhaustion, they were being pressed back by the Jin army

The sun was three poles, and the two armies fought bloody battles for a long time. Han Chang was not bad, the Western Army really failed to tear apart his big array. At this time, they had abandoned their spears and pulled out their sabers and axes to fight in a scattered formation, and although the offensive of the Tiger Army on both wings was fierce, it could not shake the camp of 50,000 people

Han Chang paid close attention to the battle situation and thought about counterattack tactics. His opponents are doing the same thing.

"See, I can't push it." On the building, Xu Wei said to the generals beside him.

Wu Jue saw it in his eyes, and at this time he felt a little underestimated at this time, so he said: "Yes, the number of troops is a little less." Do you want Xu Dutong or Yang Jingluo to be on it? ”

Xu Wei shook his head, this tactic of increasing troops one by one, although it is possible to win, is often costly. Han Chang laid out a dense formation and defended it. To defeat him, it is necessary to tear apart his secret array

Ma Kuo suddenly remembered a person, and said in a deep voice: "Xuanfu Xianggong, Li Shifu is newly returned, and he is eager to make meritorious contributions." I think the cavalry under his command is extremely brave, if he charges into battle? ”

Xu Wei's heart moved, and he immediately said: "Summoning Li Shifu to come"

The military order was handed down, and after a while, Li Shifu beat the horse to the army, looked up on the car and said: "Xuanfu Xianggong, humble duty and standby"

"Come up and speak," Wu Jue called.

Li Shifu jumped off the horse, rubbed straight upstairs to the car, Xu Wei grabbed him, pointed to the golden array and said: "Jun Xi, you see, our army's heavy steps are almost no longer able to push." To break the gold thief, you must tear through his array. This commander wants to send you to lead the elite cavalry of the headquarters to charge into battle, what do you think? ”

As Wu Jue said, Li Shifu is a newcomer and earnest, and as soon as he heard this, he immediately said: "I will never give up my humble post

Xu Wei praised a few words, knowing that he was also a general, so he asked: "Then in your opinion, what kind of breakthrough is it better?" ”

Li Shifu looked at the past, pointed to the right flank of the Jin army and said: "Xianggong, the formation of the right flank of the Jin army has been scattered by the infantry army, and this is a breakthrough, and I am confident that I can penetrate its formation."

"Good marshal will send Du Feihu to lead the army to cooperate," Xu Weidao.

"No need," Li Shifu flatly refused.

"Li is in charge, Hugh must underestimate the enemy." Ma Kuo reminded.

Li Shifu smiled, pointed his finger in front and said, "Everyone, please see, the main formations of the two armies are only six hundred steps apart today. With such a short distance, Ma Jun could only merge and could not return. Otherwise, when the hedge passes, it will already rush to the front of the opponent's formation, and if you form another formation, I am afraid that you will be killed by the bow and crossbow. The humble command led the horse army of the headquarters, and rushed it in one go."

Xu Wei, Wu Jue and others looked at each other, and no one dared to deny that Li Shifu's words were wrong. When he was surprised, he heard the other party say: "Xuanfu Xianggong, I humble my opinion, once our horse army penetrates the enemy formation, we must ask the friendly army to follow up, so that it does not have a chance to rearrange the formation.

"Okay" Xu Wei was overjoyed when he heard this, and it was indeed a real character, "You can rest assured that you will go, and the commander will send two xing troops to follow up"

Li Shifu took the order and left, Wu Jue looked at his vigorous figure and sighed: "Our Western Army has added another tiger general"

"It's a little early." After Xu Wei said this, he immediately ordered Xu Hong, the two xing armies, and once Li Shifu rushed into disarray of the enemy formation, Xu Hong led the army to break through

At the moment when Li Shifu was preparing, Han Changzheng thought of countermeasures and was about to convey them, when he hurriedly rushed to the city and reported loudly: "After a little justice, the big thing is not good, Zhang Dutong has collapsed and retreated."

This sentence made Han Chang and Zhang Shen's faces change drastically, how long has he been fighting for the first time? Zhang Jun retreated? He can take a batch of 30,000 Han troops, even 30,000 pigs, and he shouldn't be defeated so quickly

Han Chang was in turmoil, once Zhang Jun was defeated, he would inevitably retreat into the camp, and at this time, the Song army would follow up, and the camp would probably not guarantee his final result, I am afraid that he would retreat to the city to this point, he roared wildly: "Go and pass my order, once the Song army approaches, the city artillery will be released to me No matter what, to ensure the safety of the city"

As soon as the words fell, I heard Zhang Shen next to him exclaim: "Ma Jun"

When Han Chang turned around, he suddenly saw that a horse army had broken away from the Song army's large array and was rushing towards the right flank of the Jin army......

At noon, the sun was shining, but the sound of fighting on the battlefield had gradually stopped. In just half a day, the field troops of the Jin army in the east and west cities were repulsed.

In Xicheng, the soldiers of the enraged Jingyuan Army were unstoppable and firmly grasped the battle situation from the beginning of the war. Although Zhang Jun struggled to resist, the trump cards in his hands were all transferred to Dongcheng. Where are the remaining Han Er Army and Han Signing Army being the opponents of the Jingyuan Army, before half of the battle, his main formation has been torn to pieces, no matter how hard he tries to command and remedy, it will be useless. The Dongcheng Jin army was defeated and retreated under the onslaught of the Jingyuan army, and finally almost swarmed into the camp to trample on each other, and the casualties were not counted......

In Dongcheng, after Li Shifu led the party Xiang Iron Cavalry through the main formation of the Jin army, the Song army had already locked in the victory. Although Han Chang tried his best to struggle, Xu Wei did not give him any chance at all, and the whole army covering the Jin army in Dongcheng could only retreat to the camp like Xicheng.

Xu Hong, Yang Yan, Zhang Xian and others commanded the troops to chase and kill, and broke through the five Dazhai of the Jin Army in one go, advancing to a distance of less than 300 steps from the moat. If it weren't for Han Chang ordering the defenders of the city to fire a salvo of strong bows and crossbows to block the Song army back, I'm afraid this day would have been the beginning of the siege

After this battle, the Jin army lost all its spirit

Zhang Jun roughly estimated that more than 10,000 troops in Xicheng were killed and captured, and they no longer had the strength to fight against the Jingyuan army, so they could only retreat to the camp or enter the city to defend.

And Xicheng, where Han Chang was located, was not having a good time, with more than 8,000 killed and even more wounded. Yuan Qi was not yet wounded, but the camps outside the city had suffered heavy losses, and the remaining troops would not have enough hiding places if they did not enter the city. And he knew that Xu Wei was an expert in the camp, and he would take advantage of today's victory to sneak attack.

After thinking about it, Han Yuanji gritted his teeth, damn, if you don't fight, I don't believe that all the east and west cities will retreat into the city to defend, and the Yan'an city defense that I have worked hard to manage can't stop Xu Hu'er

On the side of the Song army, the victory greatly inspired the morale of the soldiers, and they were looking forward to fighting again tomorrow to completely defeat the Jin army

When the two armies faced each other during the day, Xu Wei kept not smiling and played deeply. But when the war was over, he rejoiced. Yes, yes, in today's battle, the two Western armies are pressing the Jin Army to fight, and they have won a lot of rewards, especially Li Shifu's party item horse army, which is really worthy of the reputation and has the prestige of the "Pingxia Iron Harrier", such an elite cavalry, except for the Jin army, has only been seen in the Zhejia

But that night, he received a report from Yao Pingzhong from the same state. Yan Jin army completed the assembly in Hefu, is on the other side of the Yellow River to gather boats, ready to force the crossing Moreover, he also received a letter of war from the commander of the Jin army, the other party claimed to have 100,000 armor, to seize Pujin Pass, to kill the Guan Plain signed, it was Yelu Ma Wu who defeated the Western army in Juzhou that year
