Chapter 468: Battle of Shuozhou (6)
Since the Huanqing Army switched to the Jinyang Army, Guo Sheng, who knew that he was not Yang Ling's starting team, but was very ambitious, tried his best to fight for a higher position, for no other reason, compared to those forbidden armies with various names who have been in the army for a long time and have been entrenched in the generals, the Jinyang Army forces, which are almost self-made, provide them with an unprecedented opportunity to stand out from the young generals who are from a poor background and have nothing to worry about except for their abilities.
On weekdays, Guo Sheng maintains a simple-minded, happy young general, in fact, he is cautious and close to the favor of the direct leader, and at the same time do his own things to the best, in just one year, he climbed to the position of the commander, he never felt that relying on the cavalry to fight hard is what a qualified cavalry commander should do, as a cavalry, it is not easy to cultivate, if you have to take the lead in every battle, it is easy to suffer heavy casualties.
As an elite cavalry, the most important thing to do is to grasp the initiative on the battlefield with mobility, or sentinels, or run, or harass, or pursue, or cover the main force of the infantry army on the battlefield calmly, and at the same time improve the mobility of the infantry array with the strong covering ability of the cavalry, in other words, what really fights a tough battle with people should be what the infantry army does!
The cavalry army is to play the role of the main force of the concession army, which can have the opportunity to exert its full combat power! The Jinyang army accidentally formed the most powerful cavalry field group in the Great Song Dynasty, and the cavalry troops that could wear armor and had enough qualified war horses for mobile field battles added up to 278 commands.
The level of cavalry warfare is also second to none among the armies of the Great Song Dynasty, but the Jinyang Army's previous use of cavalry made Guo Sheng secretly a little disdainful, it was nothing more than hard fighting, if it wasn't for the fact that he received some of the Khitan belongings in Yandi, the white soldiers of the Western Army were also under his command for various reasons. Which army can withstand such attrition? These cavalry troops of the Jinyang Army, one of them is counted as one, and when it comes to the previous victories, they can't wait to turn their nostrils to the sky, ignoring how much they have paid in these victories.
Guo Sheng is also strange at times, so he takes the lead in the battle, and the casualties are very heavy every time. How can this army maintain such high morale? However, such thoughts have always been hidden deep in the heart of this young military general who has a lot of city government, and they have never been revealed.
Now the situation is dangerous, no matter what you know, for Guo Sheng, he feels that it is a good time to show his ability, the more critical the moment, the more a good time for a man to live up to his life's ambitions! Guo Sheng didn't expect that when the news of the Jurchen Tartars rushing to Shuozhou came, Xiao Yang would now personally sit in Taiyuan. Xiao Yang will be the main order, at this moment, if there is a force, he will use a force to throw it into the direction of Shuozhou, no matter what means are used, no matter how fierce the fight is, it will block the raging tide of the Jurchens in Shuozhou!
Guo Sheng took the order and left, so Xiao Yang will be the master. It was he who resolutely switched to the Jinyang Army without losing it, and he was worthy of being the target he recognized as to follow! Xiao Yang will be the master here. In front of Xiao Yang's general, isn't it even more hearty?
Guo Sheng led his sons and daughters to gallop over, and overtook a lot of horseback infantry troops on the way, according to Guo Sheng's original intention, even if he joined the battlefield, he also tried to give full play to the mobility of his own horses. Try to entangle the Jurchen army under Shuozhou City in a way of harassment, so that they are not as dead-eyed as those from the old Jinyang Army, thinking that there is only one way to fight hard in cavalry warfare.
When I went to the battlefield, I saw the miscellaneous horsemen scattered all over the mountains and fields, and saw the corpses piled up on the battlefield. Seeing the corpses of the people filling in the trenches, seeing the corpses of the armor soldiers entangled with the Jurchen iron cavalry in one place, piled up like a mountain, watching Niu Gao's subordinates crash into the Jurchen cavalry that was already lined up without hesitation, and then chased by the Jurchen knights in the rear.
It's just that this sweeping battlefield situation, and the traces of the war mainly composed of corpses of men and horses all over the battlefield, Guo Sheng has already plundered and knows how the war is going today, the Jurchens drove the people to fill the trenches, and at the same time the array spread out, luring Wang Gui in the city to attack, and Wang Gui attacked, and at the same time assaulted the two wings of the Jurchen military horses, saving the people of the Great Song Dynasty who did not know how many were about to die like ants.
And Yang Zhibu, who attacked, was almost wiped out!
Yang Zhi's record was not only dragging those Jurchen Tartars and Zahu who were martyred together, nor did he save the people, but also gave Niu Gao's department a chance when he was entangled with his life with his life, and Niu Gao also resolutely launched a surprise attack without hesitation, destroying the eastern flank array of the Jurchen Tartars in one fell swoop, and completely defeating the main force of Zahu. The Jurchens turned to Shuozhou to line up, and Niu Gao continued to assault and rushed towards Shuozhou!
At most, there are only 2,000 horsemen, and at least 4,000 Jurchen Zahu coalition troops fought to the death, launched surprise attacks again and again, killed and defeated most of the enemy army, and at this moment it was almost clean, still fighting to the end of the bloody battle, and the death did not spin around, this battle, even if Wang Gui and Niu Gao's troops were all wiped out, it also dealt a painful blow to the Jurchen Tartars who rolled south all the way, and there was no sharp spirit of crazy southward before.
And the banner of the Great Song Dynasty is still fluttering at the head of Shuozhou City, but looking at the Jurchen Tartars who have lost their spirits, it will take a few days to gnaw this Shuozhou City, not to mention the athletes who are going to die, I firmly believe that as long as Shuozhou is still around, there will be an endless stream of reinforcements from their own robes until the Jurchen Tartars are completely repulsed!
Seeing such a tragic and majestic battle, Guo Sheng suddenly understood why the Jinyang army, which had been fighting hard and suffered heavy casualties over the years, was still able to maintain high morale.
There is no other reason, from the very beginning, this army has its own soul under the leadership of General Xiao Yang, but when it is a Tartar, but when it meets an enemy, it is just a battle to the death, no matter what kind of hard and hard battle, only let us be the first, in this world, no matter how strong the enemy is, don't want to overpower us.
If you don't have this body understanding, you should get out of the Jinyang army as soon as possible to stop this raging, in addition to the deep ditch and high fortress strong defense line, there is also your own flesh and blood, use this sacrifice to tell the Jurchen Tartars who go south, want the Great Song Dynasty, and cross over from our corpses!
With such a battlefield and such a robe, what else can Guo Sheng say? Avenge the brethren and continue to storm the Tartars! A big battle that determines luck, in addition to the number of troops, in addition to the level of equipment. In addition to the tactical level, there is also a competition of will and determination between the two sides, and the momentum of both sides is high!
After the Jurchens broke through the border and entered the east of the river, they were invincible, and the raging tide rolled up by the Jurchens was the most ferocious time. And General Xiao Yang and the Jinyang Army will attack fiercely, not only to stop this raging tide, but also to completely defeat the arrogance of the Jurchen Tartars!
But for the old Jinyang army, even if they are alone in the city, they also choose the right time to take the initiative. Niu Gao rushed to the battlefield, even if Yang Zhi's department had been destroyed, he still continued to launch an assault, and Guo Sheng rushed to the battlefield again, and he understood all this at once, what else did he say? Continue to lead the department and break into the flesh mill under the city of Shuozhou!
Like thunder, the reinforcements of Guo Sheng's department and Pucha Wulie's department joined the battle group almost at the same time. Guo Sheng and Wang Gui Niu Gao are like each other, taking the lead and shouting for a fierce battle!
A strange horse lance, waving left and right, in terms of fighting, Guo Sheng is above Wang Gui, and he used to hide it slightly, but it is completely displayed at this moment. The enemy's blades stabbed and slashed, and the lance and crescent moon were taken away. Take advantage of the situation to stab the current enemy.
Guo Sheng personally took the arrow, rolled all the way to the blood, and fought all the way into the depths of the war group, all of them were invincible, and several self-confident and brave Pu Liyan stepped forward to challenge, and they were stabbed over in a blink of an eye. didn't even stop Guo Sheng for a moment! Even if Han Shizhong was watching from the sidelines, with his conceit that he couldn't wait to look at the temper of the people in the world with his nostrils, maybe he would have to nod his head slightly and admit that Guo Sheng had at least seven things to do.
……
No, at most sixty and a half! After fighting in the depths of the warband. I saw the figure of Wang Gui's remnants, dozens of armor soldiers or on horses, or under the step, forming a circle for the final bloody battle, inside and outside the circle, the corpses of people and horses were piled up half a person high, and the hooves of the war horses fell, and the splashes were all for.
These dozens of armor soldiers didn't care about life and death, desperately guarding something, and they were killed by these knights who were covered in blood and broken armor.
Guo Sheng stabbed over a Jurchen Tartar with a spear, and roared loudly: "Where is Wang Yuhou? Behind Guo Sheng, there were constantly Song army knights rushing in along the gap he had opened. For a time, it occupied the core of this war group, and the Jurchen army horses relied on the superiority of their troops, and roared again to surround them.
At the core of this battle group, where the corpses of people and horses were piled up into a hill, and the more fierce fighting broke out again, Guo Sheng didn't care about the fierce fighting around him, rode his horse and stepped forward, and shouted at those remnants: "Where is Wang Yuhou?" Dozens of armor soldiers who finally took a breath glanced at Guo Sheng silently, and suddenly roared again, killed outward, and joined the melee.
And Guo Sheng immediately saw the corpse pile, a Song army armor soldier holding Wang Gui's body, Wang Guiren and the horse were out of breath, and the corpse pile next to him was piled up, even the people and horses were standing, and above the armor, there were all large and small gaps, and the whole person almost turned red.
And the ugly-faced Song army soldier stood on top of the corpse pile, holding Wang Gui's body with one hand, holding a sword in the other, and glaring around with blood-red eyes, Wang Gui had already died in battle, but as a general, he was always preparing a horse leather shroud, a little sadness, in Guo Sheng's heart, fleeting.
And the Jurchen armor warriors in all directions are surging more and more, Guo Sheng is a little burst in, at this time, the Jurchen knights in all directions reacted and closed here!
Guo Sheng raised his lance and pointed at the armor soldier: "Let go of Wang Yuhou and kill with me!" The armor soldier was still motionless, just a low beast roar sound in his throat, Guo Sheng understood his thoughts, and didn't say anything more, and waved the long lance above his head: "Hit south!" ”
With an order, the surrounding sons and daughters immediately responded, and Guo Sheng was the striker again, crashing into the dense array of Jurchen Tartars in the first place, and rushed towards Shuozhou City! When they rushed into the battle group, Guo Sheng's department still had horse speed, and when they wanted to kill again, they had no speed, and the difficulty increased tenfold.
The Jurchen knights came up from all directions one after another, and every time they took a step forward, there were sons and daughters who fell from their horses, but Guo Sheng's long lance was still flying in this treacherous situation, and the law of his immediate fight was no more unpredictable than Yue Fei's practice of the Hebei big gun to the depths, it was the most rigorous and concise posture, and he took the lead and stabbed it with a lance.
When his own family fell behind, he used his halberd teeth to grab the opponent's blade first, and then stabbed it with a lance! The guards firmly protected Guo Sheng's left and right, and if one fell off the horse, he would make up for one, as long as his sons and daughters were not killed, Guo Sheng would not look at the Jurchen Tartars who were forced over by the wings, but just move forward indomitably!
Between the blood and rain, Guo Sheng no longer knew how many Jurchen knights he had stabbed, and when his arms were a little sore and numb with his perennial muscles, he finally saw nothing, and there were no Jurchen knights blocking the way! And what appeared in front of him was three or four hundred also bloodstained, embarrassed infantry formed an array, Rao is they were already a defeated army, but at this time they didn't know when they were gathered up, hastily lined up, at this time the array had not been completed, and more than a dozen Jurchen knights could be seen galloping behind the formation, killing these infantry troops who could not stand in place.
These dozen or so Jurchen knights were surrounded by a Jurchen Tartar who looked like a heavy general, a good Liao man iron armor, and a long scar on his face split the bridge of his nose into two, which was extremely hideous and terrifying. The Jurchen heavy general saw Guo Sheng's bloody encirclement at a glance, raised the long sword in his hand, and ordered loudly!
This Jurchen heavy general, naturally is Yin Keshu, when it comes to the ability to fight, Yin Keshu can naturally be called quite brave, but to his status as a heavy general, it is easy not to fight and win, even if he personally joined the cavalry melee battle group, Yin Keshu has always been in the rear under the protection of the personal guard, while paying attention to the battle in front of him, while grasping the battlefield trends, and making adjustments at any time.
The main forces of the cavalry on both sides have all been put into a pot of porridge, and the array originally arranged under the city of Shuozhou has also collapsed.
The situation here stabilized, Yin Keshu immediately got out of the array, ran around with the guards, and collected the scattered bullets, no more than the Zahu army and horses, once they collapsed, they didn't know what to do, these Jurchen auxiliary troops, even though the array was broken up and suffered heavy casualties, but they still didn't leave the battle group too far, and there were not many people who escaped, Yin Keshu led the guards to desperately drive them back to the battlefield and continue to line up in front of Shuozhou City.
This arrangement is still the original intention, to prevent any more military horses from coming out of the city to conflict, to prevent in case of being killed by the cavalry of the Southern Dynasties, at any time, but for qualified generals, we must leave a little backhand, even if it is these auxiliary armies, it must be used as a force for contingencies! It was easy to drive these already somewhat frightened bullets to turn back to the battlefield, and only after slashing and killing more than a dozen people with a knife did they re-complete most of the array, and at this time, the Southern Dynasty military horses actually really killed through the encirclement! (To be continued.) )
