Chapter 699: Combined Troops (9)

The reinforcements from the east have been met by Zahu, and there is still a considerable distance from Yifang City!

Even if it is an elite in the city, it is really not possible to fight, even when the original body is strong, it is only at the level of a middle-aged person, fortunately, Guan Sheng still has a little talent and vision in commanding military horses. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In an instant, Guan Sheng understood the intention of the Jurchen military horse transfer.

It is necessary to suppress these infantry auxiliary troops with cangtou bullets, and outside the range of Yifangcheng's bow and crossbow, a solid array is lined up to the south and east, and there is also a cavalry army to suppress the formation. In order to cut off the contact between the reinforcements and Yifang City, the reinforcements came from afar, and the quick battle was acceptable, and there was no combat power if it lasted for a long time.

If you can't take the field battle situation of the city, the Jurchen side still has the possibility of breaking the reinforcements and Yifang City!

This Jurchen army, in addition to its fierce combat power, is the leader of the generals, and it is also the choice of the moment. The decision is so fast in the fight, and the scheduling is so flexible!

The best way to deal with it is for the soldiers and horses in the city to attack and cooperate with the reinforcements, but the hundreds of soldiers gathered by Guan Sheng are more than 1,000 strong. Relying on the garrison of the city is barely used, once attacked, he has not practiced the method of formation warfare, nor has he qualified combat power, and there are not enough generals to suppress the commander. Even if there is a bloody bravery, under the ravages of the Jurchen Iron Horse, it is only sent to death. In that way, Yifang City will lose it faster!

Can't attack! The city gate has to be closed quickly, and now both sides are desperately investing their troops to fight under the city, just for this point. No matter what, we must do our best to protect the city, the creatures still in the city, and the overall situation of the war in Hedong!

The people were still struggling to pour into the city, and in the smoke and dust, a Jurchen iron cavalry rushing towards Yifang had begun to speed up, and the brigade of cangtou bullets also rushed with bows and knives.

The Jurchen army, basically it can be said that they are all cavalry troops, and the cangtou within each mouke constitutes the infantry part of the Jurchen army at this moment, which are all brave men of all ethnic groups in the north that the Jurchens have collected in the past few years of war, and they can open hard bows, and if there are cavalry troops to suppress the formation, they can also fight!

At this moment, the Jurchen Department concentrated under Yifang City, the Mouke lent by Wanyan Lou's room and the vanguard Mouke of the Pucha Wulie Department add up to seven. There are a hundred of these auxiliaries in each of them, and they have been grouped into one place to form a part of the infantry army. Even riding and walking, there are thousands of people who are rushing to the direction of Yifang at this moment.

Guan Sheng suddenly shouted: "Close the city gate!" ”

Inside and outside the city gate, there are more than 100 soldiers and soldiers are maintaining order, and they have set up an arrow array to protect them, and more than 200 people have been prepared in the city gate, ready to close the city gate at any time, and at the same time, a large number of earth and stones have been prepared.

Hearing Guan Sheng's order from the city, the soldiers and the people suddenly moved together to stop the people who came in, and the people who were left behind were all tired and tired, so they only felt lucky to escape a life.

These people, who survived the catastrophe, naturally did not dare to fight with the soldiers and men with bows and swords, but just cried loudly under the city.

"All of us have one life!"

The cry shook the sky, and Guan Sheng, who was in the city, turned pale, and pointed sharply at the smoke and dust rolling in the south: "The Jurchen Tartars have come to rob the city!" In order to save you, we soldiers have done our best! Now is the most critical moment in this war. The lower officials beg all the fathers and elders to let us close the city gates! ”

When the words fell, Guan Sheng had already taken off his hood, less than forty years old, already half a head of white hair, just on the city, bowing heavily to the ground!

When the people looked back, they saw that in the smoke and dust, the reinforcements were still fighting bloody battles in the distance to the east, and the battle group where the iron cavalry that came out of the city and swept past them was already silent, and there were not many armor soldiers in one place, and the Jurchen military horses that rushed from the west flank were getting closer and closer!

An old, but sturdy man stood up and shouted to the city: "Shut the door! ”

The sound of Ying Harmony finally sounded, and then it sounded under the city, and only two words couldn't stop ringing.

"Close the door!"

The older people touched the blades left behind by the siege under the city wall, and shouted at the people who were not allowed to enter the city.

"We are under the city, if the Tartars attack the city, fight to the death, don't lose those military masters who died for us!"

The ragged people were silent, picked up the broken blades, stones, and sticks under the city, and stood against the city walls, never looking at the city gates again.

The two city gates were closed heavily, and when they were not closed, there were still soldiers and civilians who stepped forward and stood with these people!

Yang Xiong stood up, looking at the Jurchen military horses that were getting closer and closer, watching the reinforcement iron cavalry step through the Zahu array, and watching the Jurchen armored cavalry on the west wing finally reorganize the queue a little and gallop towards the east wing.

So far, both sides have done their best, and both sides have suffered heavy casualties, and the outcome is still unknown.

But dogs, Tartars, you can't take Yifang City! Yang Xiong panted heavily, and the horse lance in his hand was already hanging down, and he couldn't lift it anymore.

And beside him, hundreds of armored cavalry still continued to move forward, and the Jurchen armored cavalry, who had gathered on the battlefield and had never arranged a queue, retreated step by step.

The previous attack of the military horses in the city, Yang Xiong didn't know why they made this choice, but such an attack, as well as the sacrifice of almost annihilating the entire army, won the opportunity to destroy the eastern flank of the Jurchens in one fell swoop for the arrival of the reinforcement vanguard led by him!

The smoke and dust rolled in the west, where the Jurchen military horses had been assembled and arranged, and without a moment's breath, they galloped eastward, and at this moment, the Jurchens were at the peak of their strength boasted of being able to fight back and forth in the battle for twenty rounds in heavy armor.

And the smoke and dust are also spreading in the direction of Yifang, the Jurchen divided a military horse and went straight to Yifang City, how could Yang Xiong not see that this is the arrangement of the Jurchen generals to cut off the connection between their own military horses and Yifang City?

At this time, it is necessary to turn to the direction of Yifang as soon as possible, and take advantage of the fact that the Jurchen infantry array over there is not finished. Break through the block, kill under the city of Yifang, rely on the defenders of the city, and then fight the Tartars to the end!

Suddenly, there was a huge cheer among their own military horses, and they saw that the Jurchen military horses, which were still struggling to resist the entanglement, had turned around and walked westward, and they really couldn't support it. Even if they are all the elites under the command of Wan Yan Lou's room, they all suffer heavy casualties in the first fight.

The Yinshu Ke Department has already rushed here, at this time, quickly disengage and let the Jurchen armor go on, take a little breath and tidy up, and then reflexively kill back!

The tide of Jurchen military horses generally retreated, but the smoke and dust in the west were getting closer and closer, and in the battlefield left behind, there were still one or two dozen bloodstained and scarred armor soldiers, with blood-red helmets on their heads, staring blankly at the reinforcements who rushed to the front.

A soldier with a still immature face turned stiffly to the west, looked at the smoke and dust, and shouted miserably: "General Zhou! ”

Yang Xiong's eyes were hot, but this was not the time to be emotional, he gritted his teeth and pointed obliquely in the direction of Yifang: "Rush to the city!" But there are obstacles, and they all step over! Relying on the city, let's go back and fight again! ”

Today, this is already a considerable scale of battle under Yifang City, starting from early in the morning, it has been fought to the afternoon, one side drives the people to fill the city, one side of the iron cavalry breaks through, and the reinforcements on both sides also arrive, one by one to join the battlefield, and the entanglement and scuffle have reached the point where it has become more and more intense.

The main force of Zahu, which has been acting as the vanguard of the south, has collapsed, but now those who are still fighting to the death on the battlefield are the elite forces of this era, even if they are all rushing to attack, even if they are all adding fuel to the battlefield, they are constantly joining the battlefield, even if they are quite tired, and there are more heavy casualties, but both sides are still shouting for a fierce battle, and there is no intention to quit the war group!

As a side of Yinshuke, he has lost the opportunity to conquer Yifang during the march, but he must also expel the reinforcements from the battlefield, force the city to go down, and firmly grasp such a starting point for the attack on Taiyuan Mansion.

And if these Song reinforcements can't be defeated and retreated, then the Song people rely on Taiyuan Mansion, which is only two hundred miles away, as long as there is a few days of buffer time, they can set up a military village on the Yifang line densely, and block this passage to death, even if the Jurchen follow-up army arrives and wants to break through the Yifang defense line by attacking the fortification, it will not be ten days and half a month's work. At that time, the Shence Army, which was on the top of the north, won the opportunity to adjust its strategic deployment to the south. At that time, this great opportunity to lay the foundation of the battle in Hedong in one fell swoop, which was easy to win, is gone forever!

At this time, both sides must be firmly nailed to this battlefield and defeat the other!

Yinshu can now occupy the advantage, that is, the upper hand in the troops, the Zahu light cavalry does not need to be mentioned, it has been declared collapsed, even if there are nearly half of the military horses lucky to survive, but it can no longer exist as an army, but with him to the south, the Lou Chambers Department still rushed to the vanguard of the Pucha Wulie Department, there are seven Moke, even if they are not satisfied, the Jurchen Iron Cavalry also has 1,3400 numbers.

There are also seven or eight hundred auxiliary troops such as Cangtou bullet pressure, and at this time, they can also mobilize soldiers and horses, while isolating the connection between the Song reinforcements and the city with the Pucha Wulie Department and the auxiliary army under the city, and on the other hand, they can also lead hundreds of elite horsemen of the Lou Chamber, as a mobile force to bite the Song people's military horses, and the follow-up came to finish Yan Zonghan's reinforcements Jurchen Mouke, and they are still coming one after another!

At that time, there will be more than 10,000 Jurchen armor soldiers, 30,000 or 40,000 Xi people, Khitans, Bohai athletes, not to mention the servant army, this is where the confidence of Yinshu can be fought to the end.

And the Song army was out of the city to raid the cavalry a command, the cavalry to help was also a commander, Zhou Tai's command was not satisfied, Yang Xiong's command was overnumbered, a total of 600 cavalry slightly insufficient, although the combat power was strong, not only brought heavy casualties to the Jurchen army horses, but also destroyed the Zahu army horses, but the Zhou Tai department has been almost wiped out, only Yang Xiong's department is still on the battle formation left and right.

But for the Shence army, their advantage is that as long as they get in touch with Yifang City and can do a field battle posture in Yicheng, they are not afraid of anything, and for the Shence army, they also firmly believe that the King of Jin, who is personally sitting in Taiyuan, will also send them reinforcements in an endless stream, not to mention, although Xue Yong is dead, but the elite led by his general Yang Zaixing is on the way!

Both sides have the same plan, to defeat the other party and expel them from the Yifang battlefield before the other party's reinforcements arrive one after another, and both sides grit their teeth and prepare to fight to the end, so this war is still developing towards a climax!

Hundreds of horsemen under Yang Xiong's department, after slightly driving back the Jurchen military horses on the eastern flank, from the commander to the head of the capital to the team, were desperately shouting and reorganizing the formation, and the armor soldiers who had been reduced to less than three hundred horsemen rotated ninety degrees, lined up in a formation with a narrow front and long depth, and before the cavalry that could be desperately rushed from the west did not arrive, they began to accelerate again, rushing towards the direction of Yifang City!

Every armor soldier was covered with blood and sweat, the mane of the war horse was wet with sweat, and the chest and abdomen rose and fell violently, but he still quickly completed the formation change, regardless of the retreating Jurchen knights, he immediately opened his bow and arrows to harass, and this iron stream began to surge again.

In this world, it's not just you Jurchen Tartars who can wear heavy armor, a battle, and repeatedly rush to kill twenty rounds!

And outside the range of the bow and crossbow in Yifang City, the mixed Jurchen cavalry of the brigade was also desperately rushing to arrive, with the Jurchen command, the cangtou bullets and pressures were violently panting and lined up in place, hundreds of Jurchen infantry troops squeezed me and collided, and took out the strength to put out a wide frontal array, blocking between the reinforcements of the Southern Dynasty and the city of Yifang.

And after these cangtou bullets overwhelmed the infantry army, the four cavalry troops of Pucha Wulie, who were also panting, set up an array facing Yifang, in case the defenders in Yifang City suddenly opened the door and clashed.

If this array is broken by the Song army, needless to say, add another elite cavalry to the city, take the field situation of the city, and cooperate with the continuous reinforcements, the Jurchen army under the city of Yifang will no longer have to fight, only retreat to the east, let the Song army control the battlefield, and then with the unique ability of the Han people to defend the army, set up a continuous military village, dig trenches, build various defense facilities, and turn the Yifang line into an impregnable Jintang city.

But if the Song army can't break through this array, it will be bitten by the iron cavalry led by Yinshuke, but it will be beaten by the Jurchen army, and it will be wiped out under the city, and it will be impossible to fight until dark. While continuing to attack Yifang to the death, while rejecting Taiyuan reinforcements in the east, after conquering Yifang, there is a stable starting position in the west of Taiyuan Mansion, and you can continue to attack Taiyuan Mansion immediately!

The sound of hooves came movingly, and these nervous and tired men didn't care about how their array was arranged, how uneven the thickness was, panting and nervously pulling out all kinds of step bows, and even inserting the feather arrows on the ground in rows for easy access, while watching the Song army's iron cavalry getting closer and closer in front of them, they quickly opened their bows and arrows!
