Chapter 285: First Encounter
The Jurchen knights have already rushed away, and the row of horses in front of them has already crossed the trench that is not wide, and rushed straight to the bottom of the fence.
The Jurchen knight's level of horse control was revealed at this time, and the knight who rushed in front, such a tall horse, also controlled the mount to make a hard turn under the fence, ran a few steps along the fence, and then turned around.
Two or three knights pulled a row of fences together, these fence wood, not very grown, not deep into the ground, just like that, has fallen a piece, the fence has not yet landed, another row of Jurchen armor has crossed the robe that pulled down the fence, and rushed into the Yangling camp first!
This row of Jurchen knights, all wearing leather armor, their hands are full of long blades, coming very fast, the armor on both sides, simply using heavy long-handled maces, swept sideways, hurriedly rushed to the edge of the fence of the Shence army foot soldiers, and immediately fell down.
These Jurchen armor warrior mounts, almost four hooves flew through the ground fence, heavy fall in the camp, the momentum has not decreased, the Jurchen armor warrior's war horse compared to the war horse used by the Liao, is more tall and majestic, huge momentum, suddenly let the front block, not into an array at all, the armor of the Shence army foot soldiers to hit away far away, falling on the ground are broken and fractured!
At this time, a shout suddenly erupted from the wall of the fortress not far away, and more torches were lit on the wall, opening to the gate of the fortress of the Song military camp. The drawbridge was lowered, and a team of foot soldiers rushed out first, desperately dragging away the deer that was blocking the road, and a tall figure rode out, carrying something that looked like a human head in his hand.
Who else could this person be besides Pharmacist Guo? He returned to the fortress and planned to send the fort to attack and respond to the Jurchen attack. The commander of Li Jiazhai muttered two reluctant words, and Guo Yaoshi, who had always been silent and tolerant in front of him, actually turned his face immediately and cut off his head!
In front of such a pharmacist Guo, no one dared to say a word more, what did he say. Everyone is under orders, in a short period of time, Guo Yaoshi also gathered hundreds of strong, although these foot soldiers are really not worth mentioning in his opinion, but waving the flag and shouting, with a strong momentum, it is enough, especially when the Jurchens stepped through the Yangling camp, the foot soldiers of the Shence Army in the camp were shocked. Before you can react!
Guo Yaoshi took the lead, contemptuously threw the head in his hand from the trench, raised a spear in his hand, and made a move backwards: "The Nanren camp has been captured, and the Jurchen Shangguo has not taken anything, it is all divided by us!" The Jurchen kingdom is more rewarded! It's a man, follow me to kill the southerners, and the main generals of the Shence Army will smash their banners in front of them. Chop it down, capture it alive or behead the general. Level up 4 in a row! ”
The fortress suddenly killed the reinforcements of the Jurchen armor, and the Shence army in the camp was even more shaken, the Liao State was not as good as the Song State, and the infantry army in the Great Song Dynasty has always been the main force to rely on, as long as the infantry army in the field can be pulled out, such as the Western Army. They are all quite tenacious, as long as the leading generals themselves do not panic, the morale of the army is enough, and under the impact of a large number of cavalry, they can resist for a long enough time.
But in the northern land of Liao. Because cavalry is easy to obtain, it has always been the cavalry as the main force in the army, and even if there are many infantry troops, few generals will spend their minds on infantry troops.
The infantry army has been accustomed to serving as an auxiliary soldier for the cavalry, serving as a garrison, or cheering for the number of tasks, even Guo Yaoshi's victorious army that day is no exception, compared with the Song army's infantry army fighting in formation, perseverance and endurance are really a lot worse.
Not to mention that although the Yang Ling cavalry is said to be the elite of the Great Song Dynasty, the infantry troops are all recruited from Hebei, and some of them are from Liaodi, and now these infantry troops cannot form a formation at all!
Many of the Jurchen soldiers rushed to the foot of the Shence army on the road, lost their blades and fled, and the envoys in the army were all first-class petty officers, shouting loudly, and the soldiers gathered around them were also very few, and they unconsciously retreated.
The Jurchen armor warriors have completely entered the camp, and under the impact of the war horses, they are invincible. Some of the soldiers who dismounted and fought on foot had already climbed to the top of the fence, and shot arrows into the camp, creating even greater confusion for the defenders. ”
When the Jurchen armor warriors began to attack, Tang Huai didn't care how Yang Ling gave the order, a few people set him up and retreated, and even the guards went over to lead everyone's mounts over.
Tang Huai shouted loudly in Yang Ling's ear: "General Xiao Yang, I am here, command the infantry to drag the Tartars, and you are under the personal guard." Move closer to Han Shizhong's army! ”
Shouting and screaming outside, groups of infantry retreated, scattered not far from Yang Ling's side, and the blades were thrown to the ground, Yang Ling saw all this in the crowd, and his teeth were clenched.
Yang Ling didn't know where the strength came from, so he pushed Tang Huai away, broke free, and roared back in a voice louder than Tang Huai: "Escape? Flee to Han Shizhong? The Tartars must have cavalry troops arranged outside, monitoring the people who escaped from the camp at any time, as long as Lao Tzu runs, I don't know how many Tartars will let go of here, and the tail will chase over! Galloping horses at night, can Lao Tzu outrun these Tartars who grew up on horseback? As soon as Lao Tzu runs, this place will collapse faster! My Yang Ling's reputation has never been obtained by escaping, I am a humble person, I rely on being always among the soldiers, and I will never turn my back on them, to survive in this troubled world, I can't lose this only thing I can rely on! I, Yang Ling, as long as I win, I won't run away! ”
He raised his arms violently and shouted to the guards who were leading the horses at gallop: "Let the horses go!" ”
The guards around him stood there fixedly, at a loss, Yang Ling strode past them, drew the sword at his waist, recognized the horse's buttocks of his mount, and stabbed it down with a sword, the mount was in pain, hissed, and ran away.
Yang Ling threw away his sword, and felt a spear thrown by a rout on the ground, and just a few rout soldiers passed by him, Yang Ling beat them fiercely with the shaft of the spear: "Lao Tzu Yang Ling is here, what are you running?" Now surround Lao Tzu and line up to block the Tartars! Lao Tzu has 10,000 soldiers and horses, coming in a flash, what are these Tartars? If you want to have a peaceful birthday in the future, follow Lao Tzu now! ”
Tang Huai also picked up a spear on the ground, strode to Yang Ling's side, and shouted loudly: "Xiao Yang is here!" Those who dare to retreat from Xiao Yang's side will not be forgiven! Xiang Xiao Yang gathered the lord, everyone leaned on their shoulders, changed their long blades, and blocked the tartars! (To be continued......)
