Chapter 469: Battle of Shuozhou (7)
At this time, not to mention the miscellaneous Hu who comprehended the most combat power of the Jinyang Army, it was the elites of the Yinkeshu Department who were completely convinced by this elite of the Southern Dynasty.
In today's bloody battle, Yin Keshu's department and Pucha Wulie's department have been greatly injured, and the Zahu military horses as wings have also collapsed, and the crazy arrogance that has gone all the way south has been defeated, Yin Keshu no longer expects to be able to take Shuozhou City quickly, and he still gritted his teeth and insisted, how to destroy all the Southern Dynasty military horses that were put into the battlefield today!
He also wants to defeat the arrogance and ferocity of this Southern Dynasty military horse! Seeing that the cavalry wargroup was completely killed, Yin Keshu couldn't care about the array anymore, and immediately ordered loudly: "Release the arrow!" ”
These cangtou bullets, only the front line is in place, only seventy or eighty step bows are opened, and then a rain of arrows splashes in, after a bloody battle to break through, the Song army armor soldiers who have almost no horse speed are in this row of arrow rain, one after another.
Guo Sheng's lance danced, desperately fighting, still hit an arrow in the right chest, immediately Guo Sheng's body didn't shake, one hand slapped, the feather arrow shaft inserted in the right chest was broken, the roar was like thunder, and he was about to pounce forward again!
It can stop this row of arrows. The Jurchen armored cavalry once again surrounded and brought Guo Sheng and them into a bloody cavalry battle again! Yin Keshu's twisted and hideous face had not yet relaxed, but he heard the sound of drums behind him, and he suddenly looked back, and saw that the city was already full of countless Nanren people.
Several big drums are placed at the head of the city, several people, are beating out the sound of majestic drums, the south gate of Shuozhou, open again today, a team of people and horses poured out, a tall and thin general walked in front, he did not even wear heavy armor. It's just a piece of leather armor that is not very well made.
In this way, even the arrows fired by riding a bow about fifty paces may not be able to cover it, but this tall, thin and haggard general, holding a crossbow machine, strode in front and behind the team. As soon as they left the city gate, they spread out to both sides, pulled away the array, and also moved forward firmly.
There were no long or short blades in their hands, only bows and crossbows, and the arrays they pulled apart were crooked, or too far apart, or crowded together. But this kind of amateur to the extreme array is still heading towards the place where the silver can be art. In the direction of the Jurchen Iron Horse, steadily advancing!
Yin Keshu's eyes widened. Even these vulnerable southerners and horses dare to go out of the city to fight?
The one who went out of the city to fight was naturally Yu Hualong.
In the bloody battle outside the city, countless soldiers and civilians in the city bowed to him and asked him to fight, watching one after another Jinyang army enter the battlefield, could it be that they watched them one by one for the soldiers and civilians in Shuozhou City, exhausting their flesh and blood.
Yu Hualong finally made a decision. Even if you want to die, you will die with these good men! At least with their lives. Let these good boys have a few more chances to fight their way out of the encirclement!
He immediately sent people to move away the earth and stones at the south gate, and there were five or six hundred soldiers in the city who had been skilled in the use of bows and crossbows for at least the past few days, so they simply went out of the city and marched into formation, without any blades, and purely with bows and crossbows, and approached these tartars. Shoot these Tartars!
And the garrison in the city, which originally worried Yu Hualong, was also solved in a blink of an eye, after learning that Yu Hualong was going to lead his men out of the city to fight and kill the Tartars, those people in the city who were rescued by Yang Zhi. All poured into the city! Those who had a bow and crossbow were used, but when the bow and crossbow were insufficient, they carried stones to the city. The daughter's house is boiling hot and boiling oil, and there are people who cut wood for soldiers, guarding the city, as long as the Jurchen Tartars dare to go to the city, they will grit their teeth and stab them together!
Behind the south gate, the people demolished the houses and desperately piled up a barricade with a breastwork, and behind the barricade, they were also full of people, grabbing kitchen knives, whistles, sticks, sticks, stones, and even prepared firewood, grass and vegetable oil, even if they burned into a volcano, and did not let the Jurchen Tartars enter the city gate, nor let them break through the barricade!
People's hearts are like this, Yu Hualong angrily led these miscellaneous subordinates out, when there is an army that must be saved, there is a city that must be defended inside! As long as the Great Song Dynasty does not give up Shuozhou, how can the soldiers and civilians in Shuozhou not fight to the death for the Great Song Dynasty?
But now it seems that the only one who does not give up the military and civilians in Hedong is the Jinyang Military Department!
The fighting outside the city was still fierce, and Yu Hualong came out steadily.
The formation of the Tartar infantry army is 200 steps away, and the small city of Shuozhou, in front of the east of the river, has no bed crossbows, and the distance of 200 or so steps is not within the range of the city.
Yu Hualong saw a Jurchen general shouting loudly, and those pale heads turned around in a hurry, and they all opened their bows and arrows.
Yu Hualong was still moving forward steadily, and the distance between the two sides was from 200 steps to 150 steps, and from 150 steps to 100 steps.
The footsteps behind him have been closely following, even though they are scattered, but no one stops!
Don't wait for Yu Hualong's order. After all, the men and horses behind him, who had no experience in fighting in arrays, raised their crossbows one after another, pulled their teeth and shot. Mu Yu short arrows flew away, but the distance was far away, and the accuracy was not good, and only a few Jurchen Tartars with bows and arrows fell in front of them. Seeing that Yu Hualong and the others who went out of the city to fight were so clumsy, those Tartar infantry troops who were originally a little flustered stabilized, and more foot bows opened like a full moon, just waiting for the general to give the order to launch.
Yu Hualong did not launch the crossbow machine in his hand, nor did he scold those sons behind him. Just ordered loudly: "Load! ”
And on the other side, Yin Keshu also ordered loudly: "Fat!" ”
The sound of the bowstring trembling violently sounded, although the step bow was known as the power of a hundred steps. But for the armor-clad man at a distance of 100 steps, the lethality is not very great, but under the command of Yu Hualong, how many armor-clad people are there?
The arrows came like flying locusts, and the Yuhua Dragon Division, who was out of the city to fight, suddenly screamed and fell a large piece, so casualties, so that some soldiers and civilians were suddenly a little frightened, and they wanted to retreat when they dropped the crossbow machine that had not been loaded in their hands.
In the rain of arrows, Yu Hualong looked back and glared at his subordinates, and just said: "There is death!" ”
Before the words fell, Yu Hualong had already strode forward, holding the crossbow machine in his hand that had not yet been launched, and continued to rush towards the Jurchen Tartar infantry array that was constantly firing his bow and arrows!
In the gaze of countless eyes, before ten steps, Yu Hualong had already been hit by an arrow, he staggered and sped up, and after ten more steps, he was hit by two more arrows on his body, and the arrows protruded from behind him, and Yu Hualong still stood firmly. Raise the crossbow, wrench the teeth, and shoot a shot!
After this arrow was issued, Yu Hualong's tall and thin body finally shook and fell to the ground.
Above and below the city, all the soldiers and civilians watched Yu Hualong's fallen figure. It was this military general, when the Jurchen turmoil swept in and the officials fled all the way to Lanzhou, he did his duty, stayed alone in Shuozhou, ran around and patrolled, inspected and prepared equipment to defend the city, collected grain and grass, and pacified the army and civilians. Every time he saw his staggering figure patrolling the city, every soldier and civilian in the lonely city seemed to feel that this small city could still be defended.
But now, Yu Hualong died in battle, and the drums at the head of the city are still ringing.
Those Shuozhou soldiers and civilians who retreated in the rain of Tartar arrows were red-eyed, picked up the lost crossbow machine again, and gritted their teeth in the rain of arrows. No matter how many people around him fell, they shouted and continued to advance towards the Tartar infantry array!
Yin Keshu stared at everything that was happening in front of him. Suddenly shouted at the guards around him: "Go draw a cavalry army out and kill them all!" ”
If every city is like this, what else can the Jurchens talk about breaking the Southern Dynasty? I don't know if I'll be able to return to the Northland alive! Only by destroying every Southern Korean army that dares to resist will we be able to slaughter every city that dares to resist. These southerners will lose their courage, and they will crawl before the Jurchen Iron Horse!
The war has reached this point, and the horses he led are mixed with Hu. Zong Han gave his personal guards to Moke, and Pucha Wulie's department also joined the battlefield at least nearly half, but the miscellaneous Hu was destroyed, and the real Jurchen suffered heavy casualties, and he faced this strong army of the Southern Dynasty every time. have lost a large number of Jurchen children. Even if he had the merit of opening the defense line of the Southern Dynasties and penetrating into a short distance from Taiyuan, which Jurchen Mouke was willing to serve under him?
Unless he conquers Shuozhou and slaughters a city, he can restore the morale of these Jurchen sons and daughters who followed him south. Only with such merits can he continue to consolidate his original position under the account of Zong Han!
All the men in the city who are capable of fighting have come out, and if they are slaughtered under the city. The people in the city should also lose their hearts. The reinforcements are gone, the defenders are gone, what ability do they have to continue to hold on?
The guards quickly gave the order, and suddenly in the battle array, the two Jurchen Mouke were dispatched out at the order, and they were mobilized in the fierce battle, and the two Jurchen Mouke were only concentrated with less than 200 people, and the rest were either lost in the formation, or they couldn't command for a while, or the less than 200 people were also exhausted, everyone was covered in blood and scars, and nearly half of them broke their mounts. These mounts were either wounded or were.
But the war has been fought so far, and the Jurchens have also killed red eyes, and they rushed towards Shuozhou City with heavy steps.
At this moment, the soldiers and civilians who went out of the city to fight in Shuozhou had approached a distance of sixty or seventy paces, and launched a confrontation with the Tartar infantry army! In the formations of both sides, there were blood splashes, and people kept falling, but the mixed forces of people and horses in Shuozhou City never retreated, nailed there, and kept winding and starting the arrow!
These more than 200 Jurchen armor soldiers, who were all on the move, marched from the side at a speed that was slower than before, and rushed straight to those soldiers and civilians who went out of Shuozhou to fight out of the city, and these soldiers and civilians were still standing dead until the Jurchen cavalry pounced into their formation!
Yin Keshu stared at the battle on the battlefield, and he was just screaming wildly in his heart.
That's it, right? That's it, right? In this war, no matter how tenacious the southerners are, they will always be crushed by our Jurchen iron cavalry!
Niu Gao's subordinates were still surrounded by war groups, and the number of people was getting smaller and smaller, even if they were grinding with the lives of the Jurchens, they were also polished. And the Jurchen armor over there immediately stepped down and crashed into the Shuozhou military and civilian formation, even if the Jurchen armor had already fought to the end of the crossbow, facing these soldiers and civilians who had little experience in battle formations and were not fully equipped, they were still killing machines, wielding long knives and big swords, and cutting these Shuozhou soldiers and civilians who went out of the city to fight to the death row by row.
That's it!
The sound of the swan sounded again at this time. It's still as sad and lofty as before.
On the battlefield, the remnant sun was already like blood, and in the eastern sky, facing the setting sun, row after row of blood-red helmets dancing in the wind appeared in the sight of Yin Keshu!
From early morning to noon, Yin Keshu joined the vanguard reinforcements of Pucha Wulie's department, together with Zahu, to drive the people to fill the trenches and attack the city, and the arrogance was unstoppable.
And from noon to now, Yang Zhi went out of the city to assault! Wang Gui came to the aid of the assault! Niu Gao came to help the assault! Yu Hualong continues to go out of the city to assault!
A group of Han military horses filled in, and a Han family army and horses spilled blood on the battlefield, defeating Zahu, breaking down the Jurchen infantry army, and beating the arrogant, fierce and war-resistant Jurchen military horses to heavy casualties.
At this moment, the first time to join the battlefield, a total of eight real female real iron horsemen, a total of eight Mouke, the damage is very serious, the formation is chaotic, the loss of horses is a lot, and the hedgehogs who are in chaos are gathering on the battlefield to fight with the last bit of strength, and what supports them to fight hard until now is nothing more than victory in sight. Seeing that the southerners came to reinforce the horses and the horses attacking in the city, all the troops were destroyed. And it was dark for most of the hour. When the time comes, you can slowly collect the troops and lick their wounds, and wait for the follow-up Pucha Wulie reinforcements to arrive, and they will still be nailed here in Shuozhou.
But the Song army has another support army in the eastern sky!
Rao is fierce and tenacious like a Jurchen, and at this time, the army can't help but be in turmoil, still in the melee, how many people's eyes are turned to Yin Keshu, just waiting for him to clean up the situation.
At this time, the Niu Gao Division, which was caught in the final battle to the death, and the Yuhua Dragon Division, which was out of Shuozhou City. But it was a morale boost, Niu Gao ignored the number of wounds on his body, half of the feather arrow was still inserted in the left chest, the horse lance flew over, the roar was like thunder, the remaining guards guarded him tightly, rushing left and right in the war group, the Jurchen armor riders who were originally surrounding them fell off their horses one after another, and they couldn't surround them for a while.
And those Shuozhou soldiers who went out of the city to fight were strong. Regardless of the Jurchen armor still ravaging in their array, the bow and crossbow in his hand could not help but wind up and pull the teeth. Even if it is death, you have to shoot down a Jurchen armor and fall off the horse! Above the city, the drums shook the sky, and thousands of people tore their throats in unison and shouted frantically, shaking the north of the water, and the mountains and rivers echoed in all directions!
Yin Keshu stared blankly at everything in front of him, and lost the ability to react for a while.
What should I do? But what should I do?
As a famous general in the Jurchen Western Route Army, Yin Keshu has always been calm and realistic, and in the battle array, he is decisive and clear, without dragging his feet, but now, he has lost this calmness.
At this moment. The most important thing to do is to turn around and leave the battlefield. But now these Jurchen sons, whether they are the Lou Chambers or the Pucha Wulie Forces, have all reached the end of the crossbow, and they are all exhausted from both men and horses. Retreating at this time, where can you still walk in formation and cover each other? Not to mention the remnants of the southerners, who are still pestering them to the death!
At this time, a call to retreat is most likely to collapse. In the sky that is about to darken, in the land of the Southern Dynasties, these red-eyed strong troops of the Southern Dynasties were bitten and pursued, and they could turn back to the place where they could be picked up by Pucha Wulie, and I don't know how many percent of these eight Moks can be left!
In the first battle, it was ruined such as Xu Jurchen Erlang, plus an entire Monan Zahu coalition army. Even if Zong Han saw his exploits in opening the defense line of the Southern Dynasty and left a life, it would be impossible for him to return to his original status as a heavy general.
In the eyes of countless Jurchen sons and daughters, Yin Keshu still stopped in a daze at this critical juncture. The guards just shouted right next to him.
"Yinkeshu, what should I do?!"
Yin Keshu suddenly let out a loud shout, and had already ridden his horse and rushed towards the cavalry melee battle group, waving the long horse sword in his hand, and roaring like a beast howling: "Kill these southern troops first, and then turn to battle!" ”
Several guards saw that Yin Keshu moved, and they also subconsciously followed closely, and when they heard Yin Keshu frantically giving such an order, one of the guards suddenly shouted: "Yin Keshu, are you crazy?" ”
In a flash of sword light, Yin Keshu had already cut down the guard who was guarding his own family!
"If someone is defeated here, after you go back, Zong Han won't be able to spare you! The only way to survive is to kill all these southern troops! (To be continued.) )
