Chapter 102 Yang Jiajiang

On the official road, there is a post in sixty miles. The post station, on Quang Nam West Road, is called a shop.

Quy Nhon Pu is the second post station located between Kunlun Pass and Yongzhou City.

Di Qing worked hard before, just to fight here. The Song army, which is now in full swing, has its back against Kunlun Pass, and the terrain is higher the further back, which is conducive to defense; Facing Yongzhou City, the further forward you go, the lower the terrain becomes, which is conducive to attacking.

On the other side, the Nong army needs to attack from the back when it advances, and it will fall thousands of miles if it retreats.

It's really the best place to fight.

Chen Ke was beside Di Qing, and they stood on the high slope behind the formation, overlooking the two opposing armies. I saw that in front of me was the Great Song Western Army wearing soap-colored military uniforms, and the whole army was in an arc-shaped configuration, shaped like a crescent moon, waiting for the battle.

Less than two miles away, the Nong army was lined up, dressed in crimson jackets, with large shields in one hand and javelins in the other. From afar, it looks like the mountains and fields are all in flames. And when they raised their javelins, they turned into a black jungle.

Looking at the 80,000 people in front of him, who were red and black, and listened to the roar of the mountains and tsunamis. Chen Ke felt the blood surging all over his body, his scalp exploded for a while, and his breathing became heavy.

Song Duanping is exactly the same as him, and Gorou is even more exaggerated, his hands are clenched tightly into fists, his eyes are round, and his mouth makes an unconscious 'cheering ......', and he wants to jump down and fight.

Only the Xuanyu monk sat cross-legged on the side, the rosary in his hand slid rapidly, and his lips moved rapidly, but when you got closer, you couldn't hear what he was chanting at all.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After the Nong army was reorganized, it was divided into three battle formations and took the initiative to attack the officers and troops amid the sound of horns full of whining mountains. In addition to their scarlet jackets, they were covered with leather armor or half-iron armor, and even some of the people who looked like leaders wore expensive Mingguang armor.

They struck their shields with javelins, making a deafening and thunderous thumping sound that was as dense as hail and thunder.

Although it is ridiculous in other ways, victory is the best stimulant, and there is no need to mobilize at all. In the era of cold weapons, this momentum alone is enough to be called a strong army.

When the two armies were within 200 paces of each other, the Song army's bows and crossbows arrived as scheduled, and the arrows that were pressed by the darkness were thrown out. But Nong Jun had long been familiar with Song Jun's routines and knew that this was the only threat.

The shield in the hands of the Nong army was prepared for this purpose, and it was also a subject that they had to practice every day. With the sound of a trumpet turning to a hurry, they raised their shields alof, connected like clumps of tiles, and protected themselves underneath. The sharp arrows slammed into it, but it couldn't penetrate the well-made shields of the Song Dynasty...... It's just that at this moment, it has become the enemy's most reliable refuge.

But who can blame it?

Many clusters of arrows pierced through the gaps in the shields, piercing the cowhide armor on the Nong's body, and the one who was hit by the arrow fell to the ground. But it could not waver in the slightest, the pace of the advance of this army of flames,

Under the rain of arrows, the Nong army continued to advance, and more than a dozen arrows had been inserted into many shields, and there were more and more casualties, but the distance was getting closer and closer. One hundred and fifty steps, one hundred steps, eighty steps......

The crossbow bolts are fired horizontally, and now they have the strength to pierce through one-sided shields.

But the Nong army in the front row is strong, wearing double layers of iron armor and double shields on his shoulders! The fierce crossbow arrows shot up, but they could only make them stumble, and they were pushed forward by their companions behind them. Close, close, close!

This is the true face of Nong Zhigao. Although Guangyuan Prefecture was poor, in his father's generation, gold mines were discovered, which freed the Nong people from labor. However, the existence of the Cochin people makes it impossible for them to enjoy their wealth in peace. With the help of two traitor military divisions, Nong Zhigao learned the art of foot combat in the Song army, and trained his clansmen day and night.

Without such a powerful enemy army, the Song armies of all walks of life would not be able to become tofu scum.

Finally, the red and black fronts were staggered, and the two armies began to engage in close combat.

The battle became extremely brutal in an instant, and with every spear pierced, an intact body was pierced, and blood spurted out with every slash. At this moment, human life is like a mustard, and death comes in batches.

Chen Ke and the others stood on a high place, and they clearly saw that almost in the blink of an eye, the Song army immediately couldn't support it! The two wings were still fine, and there was a solid formation to hold on, so they would not waver for a while, but this crescent formation, the Chinese army was the weak point, but it was facing the impact of the most powerful native soldiers of the Nong army - the Chinese army began to diverge, some of them resisted stubbornly on the open ground of Quy Nhon Pu, and some of them retreated to the high slopes on both sides, which was equivalent to withdrawing from the position.

A soldier quickly reported the battle situation to Di Qing: "The striker will kill Sun Jie!" The former army is shaken! ”

Chen Ke's expression changed greatly, why couldn't they stand it as soon as they came up? Even Chen Xiliang began to despair, although the Song Dynasty still had an army, but the Western Army was already the most elite, not to mention that it was Di Qing who commanded the troops! If this is not defeated, I am afraid that not only Lingnan, but even the entire south of the Yangtze River, will not be protected, right?

But on Di Qing's handsome face, there was only indifference at the corners of his mouth, as if the battle situation in front of him was on the verge of collapse and had nothing to do with him.

"Marshal......" Chen Ke and they were all about to burst out, and finally couldn't help but shout: "Hurry up and make a move!" "If there's a trick.

"Not then." Di Qing continued to indifferently watch the battle situation in front of him.

As he spoke, the Chinese soldiers who insisted on resisting were drowned in the red stream. With the sound of gongs resounding through the battlefield, the rest of the Chinese army began to fight and retreat in great strides...... The terrain predominates them to do so.

Urged by the sound of a hurried horn, Nong's army clung to Song Jun and did not give them a chance to shoot again. All the officers and men of the Nong Army understand a truth - the Song Army is a crossbow team, except for shooting, they don't even practice swords and guns on weekdays.

In this way, the Chinese army retreated for nearly two miles, and the two wings were still fighting with the Nong army in front, which was a taboo for soldiers!

Seeing the red, he was about to rush to his feet, Di Qing said to the flag officer: "It's almost." ”

The flag bearer held up a striking red flag and waved it back vigorously.

In the rear army, Yang Wenguang, who was wearing armor all over his body, had been waiting impatiently for a long time, and when he saw the red flag being raised, he threw away the branch in his hand, and with the help of two auxiliary soldiers, he rode on a war horse with armor. Behind him, there were eight hundred ironclad cavalrymen, doing the same thing.

The war horse under their crotch is not the southwest pony of the Nong army who is good at walking mountain roads, but the grassland horse on the northwest frontier, fighting with the iron harrier of the party. There was no place to raise horses in the Great Song Dynasty, and every horse had to pay a high price, so it was natural for knights to be strictly selected, strictly trained, and equipped with the finest armor and weapons.

Before sending troops, Zeng Gongliang, who was on the order to compile the "General Essentials of the Martial Classics", once asked Di Qing: 'The characteristics of Nong Zhigao's army are that the javelin and shield complement each other, and they are unstoppable in battle, what can you do to break it?' Di Qing replied: 'It's not a difficult thing.' Javelins and shields were infantry, and they could not withstand the onslaught of cavalry. ’

This is also the ultimate reason why he chose Quy Nhon Pu for the decisive battle, that is, the terrain here is flat and open, which is conducive to the play of such a trump card!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Boys!" A flag embroidered with the word 'Yang' was raised, Yang Wenguang took a deep look at the flag, and laughed loudly: "It's time for the protagonist to appear!" ”

The cavalry began to stir their horses at a slow trot, and then began to charge. Because it was a downhill road, it was going to come faster than usual. Although it is less than a thousand horses, it has an earth-shattering momentum.

They swooped down from the rear, ignoring the rebel ranks entangled with the Chinese army, but split into two teams and plunged straight into Nong Zhigao's rear.

The speed of the wind, the rapid and unparalleled impact, any mantis arm as a car, mercilessly crushed into powder, and in the blink of an eye, it broke into the rear of the Nong army, the left army to the right, the right army to the left, in the entire battle array to exchange positions, as if entering a no-man's land.

In the rear formation, Nong Zhigao, who was wearing a dragon robe, stared wide-eyed, looking at his proud contradictory array in disbelief, and under the impact of the Song army's cavalry, it turned into a tofu scum made of paper paste and clay. This must be a dream......

Not only him, but all the Nong troops, including his traitor army division, were frightened by the ironclad cavalry like heavenly soldiers. For the first time, they knew that there was such a terrifying class of troops.

It is no wonder that these barbarians who grew up in the southwest have never been to the north in their lives, let alone seen the true face of the king of war, the cavalry!

I won't wait for them to slow down. The heavy cavalry led by Yang Wenguang had already begun to attack for the second time, and they interspersed back and forth, killing repeatedly, suppressing the momentum of the Nong army to the extreme, and the formation was also chaotic.

The infantry of the Song army, on the other hand, seemed to have been inspired, and suddenly took on a new look, and its combat effectiveness was sharply strengthened.

The most elite Northwest Army of the Great Song Dynasty, how could it be that it was about to collapse? In terms of toughness, they are the northern Shaanxi Han who cannot live to be thirty years old; In terms of bravery, they fought fiercely with the most ferocious enemies of the Great Song Dynasty all day long; In terms of morale, they are holding back their strength to give Marshal Di and a long face to the warriors!

What is not better than you?

As the flag bearer keeps changing the flag. The Song armies on both flanks began to close towards the Chinese army. The Crane Wing Array turned into a pocket array. The previous defeat was just to lure the enemy deep and tie up his pockets.

Di Qing looked at Chen Ke, who had finally relaxed, and said with a smile: "San Lang, are you willing to chase me to the north!" ”

"I don't dare to ask for it!" Chen Ke was overjoyed and said-

Partition -

I can write another chapter, but don't wait, I'll see it tomorrow morning...... (To be continued)
