Chapter 20 Two guns are like dragons and cold enemies
In fact, Zhang used Li Cheng to misunderstand General Chen Qu. Standing on the mound, Chen Quan didn't do nothing. While watching the battle situation condescendingly, he sent his own soldiers back to the Chinese army to deliver a letter to the commander who was rushing here.
"Report to Zong Shuai, our army has collided with the Jurchen army, and the two sides are facing off at this time."
"Report to Zong Shuai, General Yang Zaixing challenged the Jin Army on a single horse, and picked four generals with guns."
"Report to Zong Shuai, our army and the Jurchen army have begun to fight head-on. At this time, the battle was deadlocked, and the victory or defeat was not scored. General Ma Bao was killed in battle. General Yao Zheng was seriously wounded. ”
"Report to Zong Shuai, General Yue Fei has led the Beiwei army to the battlefield. Now our army has regained its position. ”
"Report to Zong Shuai, now the Beiwei army is fighting a head-on battle with the Shagu Iron Guard, and the Beiwei army has the upper hand at present. Shi, the deputy commander of the Beiwei Army, was seriously wounded. ”
At this time, Zong Ze was only five miles away from the battlefield. Zhao Shixing, who was driving the carriage, was worried about Zong Ze's safety and didn't want to go any further. Zong Ze said sharply, "Shixing, keep moving forward." The old man is going to the battlefield today to cheer for the soldiers. ”
Zhao Shixing glanced at the surrounding sergeants, and said with a little embarrassment, "Zong Shuai, now that the victory or defeat is not divided, we only have these three thousand ironclad troops, and General Cao Cheng's military horses have now diverged to Zhuludu." In case anything bad happens to the former army, Zong Shuai, let's stop here. ”
Although Zhao Shixing is a general of the People's Army, he still has some experience in fighting. He saw that although the sergeant who came to report the news tried his best to speak as well, as long as he thought about it carefully, he understood that the army at the front did not have the upper hand.
Otherwise, Ma Bao would not have died in battle, and Yao Zheng would not have been seriously injured. What's more, even the most elite deputy commander of the Beiwei Army was seriously wounded, and you can imagine the intensity of the battle.
Zong Ze roared angrily, "Zhao Shixing, listen to my order and hurry to the front line." Although the 3,000 ironclad army is infantry, it is also a powerful combat force. Now the chance of victory or defeat may lie in our 3,000 ironclad army. Zhao Shixing, the safety of the old man is not as good as the safety of the first army. Our elite troops are at the front. If they lose, Luoyang and Bianliang don't have to defend it. ”
As soon as he said this, another cavalry from the front line came running quickly. When he came to Zong Shuai's car, he turned over and fell off the horse, and just shouted "Report to Zong Shuai," he was interrupted impatiently by Zong Shuai.
"No more reporting. I'll see for myself how the battle goes. You go back and tell Chen Quan that the old man asked him to command the army and let him charge into battle. It's not for him to be responsible for reporting the battle to the old man. ”
The cavalry who came to report the news was one of Chen Qu's cronies. Seeing Zong Ze say this at this time, this cronie's face turned red, and he said a little embarrassedly, "Report to Zong Shuai, General Chen Qu has already gone into battle." He specially ordered a small one to report to Zong Shuai, the battle situation on the front line is unpredictable, and he hopes that Zong Shuai will not move forward. ”
Zong Shuai laughed, "The old man's life is also his life. The lives of front-line soldiers are also fate. How could the old man retreat for the sake of his safety. You go back and tell Yue Fei Chen Quan that when the old man arrives at the front line, he will personally beat the drums and cheer for the soldiers. ”
The cavalry who reported the news glanced at Zong Ze with admiration, quickly turned on his horse, and ran to the battlefield.
At this time, the battlefield has become a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. The two sides have been strangled for more than an hour, and the casualties of the Jin soldiers have exceeded 2,000. The casualties of the Song army exceeded 4,000.
The Song army suffered almost twice as many casualties as the Jin soldiers. However, the cavalry of the Protector Army suffered no more than 800 casualties at this time. More casualties came from the weak right flank. As the resistance of the Song army on the right flank became weaker and weaker, more Jin soldiers pressed to the right flank, ready to crush the Song army on the right flank in one fell swoop.
And the 800 Beiwei army faced the Jurchen Iron Guard, which was almost half more numerous, although it had the upper hand, but for a while, it could not kill the Jurchen Iron Guard. It was precisely because Shi Quan was too impatient that he single-handedly stabbed Sha Guzhi, and was shot in the forehead by Sha Guzhi's personal general.
If it hadn't been for Shi Quan taking his gun and pulling it out in time, I'm afraid he would have been killed.
Sha Guzhi was also ruthless at this time, he hissed and shouted, ordering all the iron guards to stop the Beiwei army, and at the same time let the Qianhu Yang Wanjun step up the attack on Zhang Yong Li Cheng. Sha Guzhi suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart, and he always felt that today's battle might end in defeat.
Although the Jin soldiers had gained the upper hand on the battlefield at this time, if the iron guards could not trap the Beiwei army, the tide of the battle could be reversed at any time.
Sha Guzhi covered the muzzle of the gun on his waist with his hand, and his bloody eyes were firmly fixed on Yue Fei who was a few feet away, eager to swallow Yue Fei in one bite. It's a pity that he can only be ruthless, but he doesn't dare to step forward to face Yue Fei in person.
Just now, he joined dozens of guards to face Yue Fei, but in just a quarter of an hour, all the guards turned into dead people. Even his own ribs were poked by Yue Fei, almost piercing his stomach.
But Yue Fei is not an iron man, he will also be tired. Not being able to kill Sha Gu in one fell swoop made Yue Fei feel a lot of regret in his heart. At this time, Yue Fei was already a little out of strength, and he could only take a breath and fight again.
Yue Fei breathed slowly while looking at the entire battlefield. The cavalry on the left flank, under the leadership of Zhao Hong and Dong Xian, was pressing the Jin soldiers. But the cavalry on the right flank was being pressed and beaten by the golden soldiers.
Chen Qu, who had been sitting firmly in Diaoyutai, finally led the three hundred pro-army to the battlefield at this time. The three hundred pro-army with full physical strength did cause a little damage to the Jin army, but they were soon forced into Zhang Yong Li Cheng's army by more Jin troops, and there was no place for them to be used.
At this time, the sun in the sky had turned west, and the armies of the two sides had been fighting for nearly two and a half hours. But Jin Bing did not retreat in the slightest.
But this golden army must be defeated today.
The reason why the Jin army is so tenacious is precisely because "the Jurchens are not satisfied with 10,000 people, and they are invincible." This proverb. Today, the Jurchen army has reached 10,000, and many Jurchen soldiers subconsciously believe that the Jin army will definitely win. So no matter how fierce they are, these golden soldiers are still fighting hard.
This is the psychological advantage of the Jurchen army.
If they can defeat tens of thousands of Jurchen cavalry in one fell swoop today, then the Jurchens will no longer have a slight advantage in the face of the Protector Army in the future. In that case, the battle will be much easier.
Thinking of this, Yue Fei took a deep breath and shouted loudly, "Yang Zaixing." ”
Yang Zaixing was already covered in blood at this time, and the bearskin robe on his body had already been soaked with blood. But Yang Zaixing's eyes were still full of excitement. Today's battle made Yang Zaixing feel unprecedentedly happy.
So after hearing Yue Fei's call, Yang Zaixing immediately slapped his horse and killed him, and asked in a loud voice, "General Yue, the last general is here." ”
Yue Fei's big gun was a hundred paces away from the sand Gu that was protected by the Jurchen Iron Guards, "Let's go kill the Sand Gu Quality." ”
Yang Zaixing let out a long laugh, "The last general has this intention." When I saw General Yue's big gun just now, I was itching again, and I wanted to try it with General Yue. Let's see which of the two of us rushes to the Sand Gu Banner first. Does General Yue dare to compete? ”
Yue Fei laughed, "I was about to learn the Yang family's broken spear." ”
The two of them urged their horses, and each led dozens of the most elite backslaught troops, and went straight to the sand and ancient quality under the handsome banner.
Sha Guzhi sneered, "This trick again?" Sons, shoot them to death. Cast them to death for me. ”
Hundreds of strong bows were drawn together, aiming at Yue Fei Yang Zaixing, who was about to rush into the range.
But how could the archers in the Beiwei army make the Jin soldiers specialize in the front, and they also pulled up their strong bows and shot indiscriminately in the direction of the sand and ancient qualities. The Jurchen Iron Guard can no longer accumulate strength. You can only draw the bow and shoot at the back of the army in the same way.
In the midst of the rain of arrows, there was the Song generation, and the two sharpest guns finally began to wield. Yue Fei and Yang Zaixing were almost neck and neck, and in the blink of an eye, they were killed in front of the Jurchen Iron Guard.
Behind their horses, the Jurchen guard, clutching his throat, fell to the ground.
Sha Guzhi roared loudly, "Stop Yue Fei, stop Yang Zaixing." A bunch of rubbish! Stop them for me, and we'll be victorious. Hold on any longer, and the Song army will collapse. ”
The Jurchen Iron Guard has always been above the top, when has he ever been scolded for being a waste! Under the insults of Sha Guzhi, the Jurchen Iron Guards guarding Sha Gu were all red-eyed. Almost desperately, he rushed towards Yue Fei and Yang Zaixing. When some were poked in the vital point, they desperately grabbed the big guns with both hands, ready to create a chance for victory for the other guards.
But Yue Fei and Yang Zaixing are also people, they are rare spear masters in the history of thousands of years. In the face of the Jin soldiers who were in a hurry to fight hard, the marksmanship of the two suddenly changed again, from opening and closing to extremely flexible, and the gun was touched and left by the throat of the Jurchen iron guards, not giving these iron guards a chance to grab the gun at all.
As the rest of the Beiwei army also attacked this side, the guards of Shagu finally began to be unable to support it. Finally, one of the guards said to Shaguzhi, "General, we must retreat. If you don't retreat, the general's life will be in danger. ”
Sha Guzhi drew his waist knife, cut down the iron guard with one sword, stepped on it with one foot, and roared angrily, "Today's battle is won and undefeated. Those who dare to retreat are dead. ”
Seeing that Sha Guzhi had no intention of retreating, the Jurchen Iron Guard could only grit his teeth and continue to intercept these two elusive big guns.
At this time, the right flank of the Song army was finally about to collapse. Some soldiers had already dropped their weapons and began to flee on horseback. At the last moment, a huge flag was suddenly erected above the mound, and a large character was written on it. "Zong".
An old man with a thin description appeared on the mound, and it was the old handsome Zong Ze who arrived. Dozens of shirtless men beat the war drums together, and the drums sounded like thunder, igniting the last fighting spirit of the Song army.
All the soldiers were shouting, "Zong Shuai is here." Zong Shuai is here. ”
With the appearance of three thousand ironclad troops in bright armor on the mound, the morale of the Song army suddenly soared to the highest peak. Even Zhang Yong and Li Cheng's men, who were about to collapse, were like taking aphrodisiacs, and they pressed Jin Bing to fight again.
Yue Fei and Yang Zaixing had already killed in front of Sha Gu Zhen at this time, and Sha Gu's personal guards were filling up one by one. One by one, familiar faces fell in front of Sha Gu's eyes. When Sha Guzhi was poked in the arm by Yue Fei again, Sha Guzhi finally knew that he couldn't do anything. If you don't retreat, you'll die here. Once he dies here, tens of thousands of golden soldiers may be wiped out.
I can only return. Sha Gu Zhen glanced at Zong Ze on the mound with hatred, and finally gritted his teeth and gave an order. "Mingjin withdrew his troops, and the whole army withdrew to Zhuludu. Fight again in the coming days. ”
Jin Jun, who was feeling the pressure, heard the sound of the golden drum, and immediately hugged the ancient sand, and broke away from contact with the Song army like a low tide. The Song army was exhausted at this time, except for the cavalry of the Protector Army, which chased them for several miles, the other Song troops immediately collapsed to the ground or collapsed on their horses like dead dogs.
