Chapter 203: Rising to the Front

"Capture Zhao Er alive, seal 10,000 households, reward 1,000 taels, and get a reward of 10 taels of silver for the first level!" The successive defeats made the Jin army demoralized, and in order to improve morale, Wushu offered a reward. At the same time as the reward order was issued, there was also the 'same order': "Each team shall have fifteen members, one of whom shall be the head of the banner, two of whom shall be the horn, three of whom shall be subordinates, four of whom shall be deputies, and five shall be of payment." The flag head dies, never survives, and the one who returns is killed, and the victory is rewarded, so it is called the same team! This is a method of continuous sitting formulated in the early days when Ah Gu fought the world, in order to motivate the soldiers to move forward bravely and not be afraid of life and death.

Wushu knew very well that this battle was not only a matter of whether he could gain a foothold in the Central Plains, but a matter of life and death, so he was also desperate and determined to fight to the death. Under the double stimulation of bounty and death, the soldiers of the Jin Army also burst out with amazing combat effectiveness, and bravely rushed forward to kill without fear of death. The Song army's guards were also gradually defeated and retreated in the direction of the city.

The Jin army chased after them all the way, when they saw Yanjing City from a distance, but the camp of the Song army stretched for more than ten miles in front of them, seeing the arrival of the Jin army, the soldiers of the Song army hurriedly fled into the camp and closed the gate, sounded the alarm, and the camp was in chaos for a while.

"Blow the horn and get ready to rush the village!" Seeing that the banners in the Song camp were scattered and the camp was thin, he obviously didn't expect the Jin army to kill from behind, so he didn't fortify it at all. But the Wushu was still a little vague, and the Song army attacked Juyong Pass immediately after passing through the south entrance, obviously with the meaning of 'catching turtles in the urn', and the unprepared scene in front of him made him unbelievable. The only explanation is that the Song army failed to capture Yanjing City before he returned to help, but now he has no time to think about it, because there is no way to retreat. Whether it's a plan or not, you can only go one way to the dark.

Hundreds of trumpets sounded at the same time, stirring and undulating in the vast wilderness. The majestic and tragic sound of the horn came far away, which was both a signal to attack. It is also to inform the defenders of the city that reinforcements have arrived, so that they can prepare for the inside and outside.

"Ho-ho-ho..."The knights of the golden army shouted loudly, and lifted their horses quickly, and for a time smoke and dust covered the clouds, and the sound of hooves was like thunder.

"Kill, kill...", under the guidance of the iron totem that was enough to destroy the withering and decaying, the Jin army launched an overwhelming attack on the western camp of the Song army, trying to level the camp of the Song army in one fell swoop.

The tactics of the Wushu were a complete success, and tens of thousands of troops smashed a gap several miles wide in the wide Song army company camp. When they rushed out of the camp and rushed to the city without hindrance, they gasped at the sight of the situation. The towering towers crouched on the walls emitting light smoke, the solid and heavy walls were covered with craters, and the collapsed corners were like a huge wound on the body.

What made Wushu even more frightened was that a large army in front of the city had been lined up, and on the high flying general flag was the dragon head that had made Wushu have nightmares so far, and the surrounding gun flags were like the colorful glow of the evening, it was this army that chased itself from Luoyang all the way across the boundary river, and the Tiefutu that he was proud of was invincible in front of them. They are now walking in order. Slowly pressed towards them with a long riding spear!

"Rush up and fight into the city!" Wushu was well aware of the situation in Yanjing City, and he chose to attack from the west not only because they came from the west, but also because he knew that Zicheng was located in the northwest of the city. It shares a west gate with the outer city - the West Gate. The palace city is the core of the entire Yanjing City, and the most heavily defended is there, even if the outer city is breached, there is still the imperial city in the city. There were many warehouses built there, which stored a large amount of goods and grain. Enough to hold out for a while...

At this time, the weather is freezing and the river is dry and freezing. There was only a plain left outside the city, which was suitable for large-scale cavalry battles. Zhao Yong discharged the traditional glaive formation according to the city, and he used the dragon general hussars, who had been recuperating, as the middle army, and the left and right flanks were the leopard generals and the dragoons of the tiger wing army. Facing the Jin army that had just broken out, he immediately ordered the hussars to form a formation and slowly move forward to meet the battle.

The dragon will six brigades of hussars more than 20,000 people, in turn, and the command as a unit to form an impact formation, an impact surface has 2,000 horses, layer upon layer is divided into eight shock waves, the whole phalanx is as wide as five miles, nearly two miles deep, the high riding spears are as dense as a forest, the fluttering gun flags cover the sky and the sun, tens of thousands of war horses step on a beat with the rhythm of the war drums, this spectacular scene is enough to make people feel terrified!

"Great Song is mighty!"

"The emperor is mighty, long live, long live, long live!"

"Victory..."

"Capture the vultures, smash the yellow dragon!"

"Destroy the Jurchen, shame on the Snow Country!"

The two-winged dragoons moved in unison, the war knives were shining, hundreds of war drums were beating, the military trumpets were terrible, and the apricot yellow umbrella cover appeared on the city, and the emperor came to watch the battle. The morale of the Song army was greatly boosted, cheering in unison, and the roar above and below the city resounded throughout the battlefield like rolling spring thunder, echoing over Yanjing City for a long time...

The art of war: one is vigorous, two is declining, and three are exhausted. Zhao Yong showed weakness to the enemy, through repeated harassment and small troops to block the tired Jin army, in order to weaken its sharpness, when they mustered up the courage to prepare for a bloody battle, but easily broke through the Song army camp, the spirit could not help but relax, and suddenly appeared in front of the Song army ready to attack and made them panic, an empty camp has consumed most of the horsepower of the Jin army, in the face of the Song army that came from the formation, they had to fight again, but at this time the sharp spirit was lost, and the rest was just a last resort.

Although the momentum of the Jin army Tiefutu rushing in front has slowed down, it is not possible to stop or turn back for a while, and it will be a catastrophe if there is no impact or exposing his side back to the Song army's cavalry guns. Therefore, only by continuing to move forward can it be possible to penetrate the enemy formation and survive, so even if the knights know that the war horse is tired, they can only continue to urge the horse to speed up, and some people pull out a short knife and do not hesitate to hurt the war horse to stimulate the war horse to continue to maintain speed...

"Target, Jin Army cavalry, four hundred steps ahead, flowering bullets, shooting!"

"Three hundred steps ahead, shoot!"

"Two hundred steps ahead, shoot!"

"Stop shooting, withdraw the artillery!" With the hoarse command of the artillery commanders, the three artillery battalions of the artillery brigade opened fire one after another, although the soldiers who operated the artillery had played far beyond the usual level, but they only had time to fire three rounds of shells and hurriedly evacuated the firing position, one was that their task had been completed, for fear of accidentally injuring their own cavalry; The second is to make way for the cavalry to charge and make way for the local province.

Although the three rounds of artillery fire gave the charging Jin army greater casualties, it was still insufficient compared to the wide frontal battlefield, and the casualties of thousands and hundreds of people could not affect the entire battle situation, but the violent explosion disrupted the Jin army's charging formation, so that their charging momentum slowed down. But it was the slowness of this short breath, the long cavalry of the Song army hussars had been handed to the eyes, and many people did not have time to shoot an arrow, and the two armies collided together, which was a collision between flesh and blood, and those who were shot turned over and fell off their horses, and those who were not dead found the gap and drilled through, and stood up to fight again.

One, two, three... The cavalry charge is indomitable, and the dense formation makes it impossible to turn back, so you can only keep rushing and killing until you break through the opponent's large formation. Under the continuous collision of the Song army's attacks, countless Jin soldiers were stabbed off their horses, and soon trampled into powder by the horses' hooves, leaving only a touch of bright red in the field, but they were immediately covered with smoke and dust, silently blending into the earth, and no one could find his trace.

The fifth wave of the Song army was killed again, and the Jin army was no longer able to resist, and the momentum of the offensive was completely defeated, and it withdrew to the two flanks, exposing the Chinese army to the frontal attack of the Song army. "Shoot the arrows, release the arrows!" Wushu cut off two generals who fled to the Chinese army, shouted loudly, and hurriedly transferred the archers forward to block the Song army's troops. But the momentum of the Song army did not decrease at all, and it instantly ran over the sparse defense line arranged by the archers...

"Zhuangzai, Zhuangzai..."Zong Ze, who watched the battle at the head of the city, clapped his hands excitedly and shouted, in the past, the Song army could only defend the city in the face of the iron cavalry of the Jin army, even if it was to resist in array, it was often necessary to pay countless lives to hold the position, more often than not, it was to flee from the wind, and did not dare to wipe its troops to confront it head-on, today the Song army not only has a strong cavalry, but also more powerful, in the hard collision of its Tiefutu to the point of no resistance, a burst of defeat of its front army, forced in front of the Chinese army.

"Master Zong, do you also want to fight hard and fight hard!" Zhao Ta looked at the excited Zong Ze and couldn't help but laugh, and joked to him.

"Your Majesty's Shenwu, my Great Song Dynasty can have such a military power thanks to His Majesty's merits, the old minister is really enthusiastic when he looks at it, and he really wants to fight with the soldiers!" Zong Ze stroked his gray beard and smiled.

"Alas, I sometimes think about it, how many times have I returned to the years when I was charging on the bloody battlefield with the soldiers in my dreams, and now I am afraid that I will never be able to fight again!" Zhao Ta sighed and looked left and right and said leisurely, when the emperor went out, he hugged him before and after, and if he wanted to go into battle in person, there was no door, but it was not as happy as the battlefield back then.

"Your Majesty came to the city in person, and the morale of the army was already greatly boosted, if you came to Fengya in person, wouldn't the Jin army collapse without fighting!" Zhao Zhong, who was accompanying him, immediately realized that the emperor had an itchy hand, if he didn't stop it quickly, I was afraid that no one would be able to stop him from going crazy, and it was he who suffered if something went wrong, so he hurriedly said with a smile.

"Shit! I see that your bones are weak, and the guards under your command have also become old soldiers, and when I see that there is no Wanyan Zongfu in the imperial city, he is also ready to move when he hears that there is a strong fight outside, if you can't clean him up before dark, just let me go to the army as a soldier, and I will personally capture him! Zhao Zhong's thoughts Zhao Ta saw through it at a glance, turned around and pointed to the imperial city and said. (To be continued......)
