Chapter 40: Protect My Robe and Return to My Hometown
Li Fengwu was woken up while he was still asleep.
Someone from Xiangyang Mansion.
Li Fengwu was taken aback, what was the situation, the Xiangyang Mansion in the early morning suddenly sent someone to invite him over...... Could it be that the battle between Wujiaji and Guyi Town has come to an end?
After grooming under Zhu Zhao'er's service, he didn't care about eating, and went out to board a sedan chair to go to Fuzhi.
Not surprisingly, all the officials of Xiangyang Mansion were present.
Wei Shusheng is also there.
And Lu Zhen, as his personal soldier, also followed aside.
Li Fengwu chuckled in his heart, the atmosphere was very dull, it seemed that nothing was good.
Everyone arrived, and Di Shao said in a jerky voice: "I just got the news that came back, and the Wu family was defeated. ”
Li Fengwu was stunned.
Defeated......
Lu Zhen's crow's mouth was really hit by him.
All the officials in the government were suddenly in mourning, panicked, and didn't know what to do next.
The only ones who can keep calm are Li Fengwu and Guo Jing, as well as Wei Shusheng and Lu Zhen.
Even the tone of Di Shaosheng's words was full of trepidation.
After receiving the secret report from Di Shaosheng's hand, Li Fengwu read it carefully, and sighed, Great Song Weak Master...... The difference in strength seems to be, and the result is a complete defeat!
Wu Jiaji was defeated.
The beginning of the defeat originated from the Iron Floating Massacre.
The three thousand foot soldiers formed a horse rejection array, the power is huge, the two soldiers hold the giant shield as a screen, and then the soldiers set up the triple spear as a barrier, and finally supplemented by five hundred crossbowmen, the first step to shoot down with a rain of arrows.
Although the Jin cavalry finally succeeded in breaking the rejection array, they also left nearly 1,000 corpses in the array.
As the rejection array was broken, the three thousand soldiers were also scattered.
After losing nearly seventy percent of the soldiers, less than 1,000 of them retreated and continued to form formations.
Battle losses of two thousand against one thousand five!
If it is placed in ordinary battles, the battle damage of 1,05 cavalry against 2,000 foot soldiers can be said to be a miracle, but this time on the battlefield of Wu Jiaji, it is not worth showing off.
After all, the battlefield of Wu Jiaji is not an empty territory, and it is not suitable for cavalry to sprint.
It is because of the geographical advantage that the horse rejection array exerts such great power.
Know that the rain of arrows of the five hundred crossbowmen left six or seven hundred corpses in front of the battle: the terrain is small, and the power of the rain of arrows becomes more and more apparent.
At the same time as the Golden Man cavalry collided with the formation.
Under the leadership of Zhang Chao, the two thousand light horsemen first started slowly, then the iron hooves were like thunder, and finally turned into a rolling torrent, and when the horse rejection formation was broken, it reached the peak speed of the collision formation.
The two thousand cavalry were like a sharp arrow, inserting into the center of the Golden Cavalry.
The Great Song Dynasty has a weak cavalry scale, and the national cavalry is only in the early 20,000s, but the Great Song Dynasty has the most sophisticated cavalry: it can be said that the Great Song Dynasty cavalry is only about combat strength, and if it is a cavalry battle with a comparable number of people, it is still above the Jin cavalry.
After 2,000 cavalry rushed in, the infantry of both sides was thrown into battle.
On the earth, there is no blood everywhere.
People keep falling.
There are also people who keep cutting off the enemy's heads, this battle seems to be comparable, there is no one-sided situation, even Zhang Chao in the fight feels inexplicable, and faintly sees the hope of victory.
And then at this time, the last trump card of the golden man appeared.
A thousand heavy horses slowly appeared in front of the eyes of the Great Song soldiers, the armor was bright, and even the war horses were covered in armor.
A desperate heaviness pressed over like a white cloud.
Seeing the white swaying armor, seeing the war horse covered in armor and only showing its eyes, and seeing the golden cavalry wrapped like zongzi, Zhang Chao was desperate...... This is the Golden King Heavy Cavalry.
Iron Float.
3,000 iron floating slaughter, can break the Great Song Dynasty 30,000 armor.
Not a kidnapping horse!
"Abduction horse" is the Song people's name for the main force of the Jin army's two-wing cavalry, belonging to a light or medium cavalry, generally arranged on both wings, can make full use of its high mobility and the huge impact generated by the group charge, used to outflank the enemy and then assault, "abduction horse" is the Song people's name for the female Allah cavalry.
If it is a kidnapping horse, it still has the strength to fight, but a thousand iron floating slaughter on the battlefield at this moment is simply a nightmare!
The remaining light cavalry of their own side could not be stopped, and all the foot soldiers had been thrown into the battlefield, and they could not form a rejection formation.
And so the rout!
Defeated!
In the end, Zhang Chao made a quick decision and ordered the cavalry to retreat behind the palace.
This is an extremely cruel military order.
The rear of the cavalry palace means that you have to buy time for the infantry to retreat with your life.
And the retreating infantry army also had to pay a painful price to break free from the entanglement of the Jin infantry army.
Everyone knows that withdrawing troops from the battlefield is a big taboo.
The biggest consequence is that it leads to the total annihilation of the army.
But there is no way to do it, if you let a thousand iron floating slaughter join the battle, not to mention two thousand light horsemen, even about 20,000 foot soldiers, they will all be slaughtered.
Retreat, there is also a chance to save part of the infantry forces and return to Xiangyang to defend to the death.
The price is that most of the foot soldiers will die under the pursuit of the Jin.
And also......
Two thousand light horsemen may never be able to look back at Xiangyang again.
As the infantry retreated, Zhang Chao led two thousand light cavalry to rampage on the battlefield, and soon broke a pivot belt, behind him were the foot soldiers who had withdrawn in a hurry, and in front of him were the Jin people who began to re-array.
and a huge gap.
Behind the gap, you can see the dust rolled up by a thousand iron floating slaughterhouses.
On either side of the notch, there are regrouped golden light horses.
Zhang Chao glanced back and smacked his lips.
After the remaining light cavalry of less than 1,005 was lined up, Zhang Chao's war horse galloped in front of the formation and roared: "Who is the son of a golden thief?" ”
"My Iron Rider!"
The sound is like a torrent, straight to the sky.
Zhang Chao galloped to the middle road, facing the Jin Ren Tie Futu, and laughed loudly, "Sons, after my generation is Guyi Town, and after Guyi Town is Xiangyang, where there are many relatives of Erlang, a certain person who does not want his relatives to suffer, is willing to die but a gold thief!" ”
A dead but a thief!
No one is silent, the cavalry on the southwest road of Beijing, most of them are from this road, if Xiangyang is lost, whose relatives will not be trampled by the iron cavalry of the Jin people?
In this way, Xiangyang must be defended.
If you want to take Xiangyang, then the retreating infantry is crucial.
Zhang Chao laughed loudly, "Two years ago, a certain son and son defeated the gold thief, and deserved Xin Qingji's sentence 'Eight hundred miles under the command', what a pleasure, today's battle, sons, and with a certain one, protect my robe and return to my hometown!" ”
It's a simple mobilization.
But after these simple words, more than 1,000 Great Song Dynasty light horsemen roared in unison: "Protect my robe and return to my hometown!" ”
The Great Song Dynasty was weak, but the cavalry was the backbone of the Great Song Dynasty.
I'm going to die.
Retreating robes, please hold Xiangyang!
Glaring at the surging Tiefutu, Zhang Chao shouted angrily, "Kill!" ”
Take the lead!
More than 1,000 iron horsemen, facing a thousand iron floating slaughter, must resist it to the death.
Just when the Jin people thought that the cavalry was going to die after the Song people were broken, Zhang Chao led the cavalry to turn obliquely, gave up colliding with the heavy cavalry Tiefutu, and bravely pounced on the two wings.
Don't hit heavy riders, hit light riders.
In this way, the light cavalry of the Jin people can be involved, and more time can be bought for the retreating Great Song infantry.
The price is 2,000 light horsemen, all dead!
Protect my robe Ze to return to his hometown, how many sons fell off the war horse, before being pierced through the chest by the Jin spearmen, looking back at Xiangyang, there is no Xiangyang city over there, only the figure of the robe Ze can be seen......
Protect my robe and return to my hometown, and I hope you will wait to defend Xiangyang. (To be continued.) )
