492. At the beginning of the night battle
When night came, Ah Guta and Yue Fei both knew about each other's existence through the scout's reconnaissance. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
It's just that Ah Gu Da didn't know that it was not Zhou Quan himself who came, and Yue Fei didn't expect that it would be the Emperor of the Jin State who would lead the army to meet him.
Neither side had any intention of camping for the night, because the nutrition could keep up, and there were almost no night blindness patients in either army, and the night battle was not a disadvantage for them.
But when the two forces were ten miles apart, the two sides finally changed.
"The Han army has not established a village, and it wants to fight with us and others in the field?"
The news that came made Hulu feel inappropriate, and he wanted to persuade Ah Guta, but at this moment, Ah Guta couldn't listen to any opinions.
"If they want to fight, then give them war, are we still afraid of them, what are we afraid of?"
Ah Gudi ordered the division of troops, and he personally led Tiefutu to slow down and prepare to meet the frontal attack, and ordered his eldest son Wanyan Shenguo to lead the cavalry to make a detour and outflank the rear of the Han army.
"The soldiers are hungry and thirsty, so let's rest for a while before fighting?" He persuaded again.
"We didn't eat, but the Han people ate? Hulu, do you remember what I said, we can defeat the Khitans, we can defeat the Han people, because we can endure hardships more than them! Ah Gu glanced at him.
But he didn't know that compared to enduring hardship, the Han people would not be inferior to any ethnic group in this world!
And the army led by Yue Fei is the most able to endure hardships and be the most tenacious.
Unlike the Jin people, who had never eaten and fought, this army, carrying fried noodles and clean water, ate while marching while advancing, although they only ate dry food without much taste and warm water with their body temperature, but compared to the Jin people, they were full after all.
The two armies were three miles apart, and they all slowed down their formations.
The night was deep, and there was silence all around, except for the torches on both sides, like starlight, dotting the darkness.
The big war is on the verge of breaking out!
Yue Fei pursed his lips, he knew that he would decide the direction of this battle as soon as he gave the order, which made him a little nervous, but more importantly, it was the excitement when a natural famous general came to the battlefield.
"Night Fight!" He raised his spear at his horse.
"Night Fight! Night Fight! Night Fight! The surrounding armies cheered in unison, and then took the initiative to march towards the camp of the Jin army.
It was the first time that Aguta had seen the Han people who took the initiative to meet his troops.
The Han people in the Liao army before, or the so-called elite of the Song State, were almost not worth mentioning in his eyes.
But this force, their high fighting spirit, even in the dark, is like a flame, shining brightly!
Ah Guda couldn't see any of the Han people's faces, but he seemed to see the faces of every Han people.
That kind of vigor was not found in his dying and decrepit body, not even in his rude and savage sons and nephews. This makes Ah Guda jealous in his heart, and he wants to destroy this vibrant army, and destroy the Han people who have given birth to new vitality in the ancient country!
"Hugh is going to lose to the Han people, as long as we defeat them, the entire Han land will be our slaves!" He raised his voice and shouted, and the whip was pointed at the other party.
Then he heard the sound of cannonballs.
At this time, the two sides were three miles apart, and the heavy artillery of the Jin people could not shoot at this distance.
However, the Han army was different, even if it was a light cannon used in field warfare, after improving the gunpowder formula and advanced casting materials, its firing range could reach three miles or even four miles.
But Aguta didn't care about it at all.
The Han people could only rely on the advantage of weapons to fight, but the Jin soldiers were already familiar with artillery, and all the Jin soldiers were trained accordingly, so they would no longer be confused by this terrible sound.
Aguta believes that as long as the Jin army does not mess up, then the decisive victory is still hand-to-hand, and the Jin people are brave and will never lose to anyone on this issue.
"Drink a little, you lead the headquarters to the battle!" A bone hit the next one and ordered.
There are 4,000 people in the headquarters of a little drink, and they were originally the guards of Ah Guta's younger brother Wu Du Bu, but I am young and arrogant, and I was cut down by Ah Gu Da to protect them, and I transferred a little drink to my side. He heard Ah Guta's order, knew that this was an opportunity to make meritorious service for himself, screamed, and then rode away.
A moment later, the Jin people he led began to march towards the Han army on the opposite side.
Because it was a night battle, Ah Gu didn't really look at it, but he found that the enemy on the opposite side seemed to have a section of only about 2,000, and he pushed forward, and it turned out to be a little-for-tat.
Ah Guda frowned: These Han people are really arrogant!
"Father, the battlefield is flat, why don't we all press on it?" Someone suggested behind him.
But it was his ninth son, Arubu, who was still lacking in military strategy because he was young, which raised such a question.
At this time, it is dark, if it really starts to fight, there are many Jin soldiers, and it will inevitably be more chaotic, but I am afraid that there will be many acts of killing each other, but it will give the Han people an opportunity. Therefore, Aguta would rather add more troops a little bit than engage in a completely chaotic battle.
Although he was arrogant, he was actually very cautious when fighting, and he had only one purpose, to drag out the war until dawn. After dawn, the cavalry led by Shenguo will appear in the rear of the Han people, and then the whole army will press on it, and the battle will be won!
It's just that he still underestimated the combat effectiveness of the Song army.
The lightly drunk troops came out of the crowd, and the torches they lit became targets, causing them to be bombarded intensively by the Han artillery.
With the establishment of the Han army, there must be six light field guns and 120 artillery for every 1,000 people, and Yue Fei's department has a total of 10,000 people, and 60 field guns are fired in a concentrated manner. Until the two sides took on the formation, they could not form a dense charging formation.
The Jin people also had cannons, but not only were they small in number, they were also bulky and unbearable, and their range was also short, so they had almost no impact on the Han army.
After the two sides approached to 100 paces, in order to prevent accidental injury, the Han artillery fire began to extend backwards. When he reached sixty paces, he thought he could catch his breath after a little drink, and the loss of his forces was not too great, and he was still far superior to the other party. But before he could catch his breath, he heard a terrible humming sound in the opposite camp.
That's a crossbow!
Originally, the Great Song Dynasty was known for its crossbows, and all kinds of machine crossbows made the Liao people frightened. Up to now, the standard crossbows industrially produced by Zhou Quan's subordinates have not only increased in power, but also increased in number, and almost all soldiers have one hand. Moreover, the range of this crossbow, although it cannot be compared with a strong person like Yue Fei who can shoot a three-stone bow, is also farther than an ordinary one-stone bow.
At least sixty paces away, most of the Jin people's bows and arrows can only barely reach it, while the Song people's standard crossbows are lethal!
After a moment's drinking, I saw that my team was like a bite of bread, and a gap appeared in the middle of it. The further he farteted, the bigger the gap became, and when he rushed in front of him, he was horrified to find that his number was almost the same as that of the other party.
It's not that so many people were shot, but the torches were extinguished and the crowd was chaotic, so that Xiao Yu made a miscalculation.
This is the disadvantage of night battles, the side that can maintain the formation has an absolute advantage over the side that cannot maintain the formation.
"Edge!" After a little drinking, I heard the Han people on the other side drinking.
"Edge!" All the Han people drank, and then they put down their crossbows, raised their spears, and moved forward like mountains and forests.
Boom, although silent, but in the heart of a little drink there was a loud noise, and his remnants of the troops were shattered in a round of impact from the other party.
He himself was lost and depressed, and he didn't know how to get out of such a situation, and it was only after his consciousness was restored that he realized that he had knelt in front of Akuta's horse.
Ah Gu waved his hand, and immediately someone cut off the head that had drunk a little.
"Rubbish!" Ah Gu snorted coldly, he raised his eyebrows and looked at the opponent's array, the torches over there had not decreased, and it seemed that his charge had not caused any damage to the other party at all.
"What a piece of rubbish!" He spoke again, and then ordered: "Ready, let them attack!" ”
Since taking the initiative to attack can't shake the opponent's camp, wait for the opponent to attack, look for a flaw in the opponent's attack, and then kill with one blow!
Anyway, it doesn't matter if you delay the time, the longer the time drags on, the better it will be for the Jin Army!
Although he thought so, he also knew in his heart that the opponent was a well-trained and extremely tenacious army, and even if he really had the upper hand, he might not be able to defeat them in a short time.
According to the news brought by the scouts, there were nearly 20,000 such troops...... Zhou Quan has not rested all these years.
Ah Guda has lowered his expectations for this battle in his heart, and what he wants is no longer to destroy the other party with his own strength, but to entangle the other party so that it cannot advance or retreat.
Perhaps only by waiting for Wu to buy it, meeting several armies, and using more than ten times the strength, can this army be truly defeated.
At this time, the separation should not have been heard...... He is on the side of Yingtianfu in the Great Song Dynasty, can he withdraw in time?
For Wu Begging, Ah Guda is very relieved, his younger brother is cunning and wise, like a fox. But he was a little worried about whether to part.
In front of Ying Tianfu, he didn't grasp the seal in his hand and trembled slightly.
The Jurchen script had just been created, so Ah Guda gave him an order, relying on oral statement, and what proved the authenticity of the oral statement was the seal brought by the messenger.
Still fooled!
Zhou Quan's main force did not go to Japan at all, but waited for an opportunity.
What made him even more angry was that Zhou Quan's main force did not come here to fight him, but landed in Wuqing and went directly to fight him, which was clearly looking down on him!
But he had to admit in his heart that even if it was like this, he ...... I can't help Zhou Quan.
He only brought 3,000 people into the city, and with the help of the soldiers and civilians in the city, he besieged more than 100,000 people but did not take advantage of the slightest advantage, but the grain road was repeatedly disturbed, and the whole army was tired and had no will to fight.
At this time, he was faced with a choice, it was impossible for him not to return to the army to rescue his father, otherwise his father would really have some accidents, and he would not be able to hold it here.
But go back...... Will Zhou Quan let him get out easily? (To be continued.) )
