Volume 3 Mending the Cracks in the Sky Chapter 94 Blocking the Storm (24)
Today's battle under Lou Fu City is already a considerable scale, starting from early in the morning and has been fought until the afternoon. One side drove the people to fill the city, the other side rode through the formation, and reinforcements from both sides also arrived one after another, joining the battlefield one by one. The entanglement and scuffle have reached the point where it is becoming more and more intense.
The main force of Zahu, which has always been the vanguard of the south, has collapsed. But those who are still fighting to the death on the battlefield are the elite forces of this era. Even though they are all rushing to attack, even if they are all adding fuel to the battlefield, even if they are already quite tired, and there are heavy casualties, both sides are still shouting for a fierce battle, and there is no intention of quitting the battle group!
As a silver master, he has lost the opportunity to overcome the trouble of the building while on the move. But reinforcements must also be expelled from the battlefield. Forced the city to go down to the wall, and firmly grasped such a starting point for the attack on Taiyuan Mansion. As long as Zonghan's army arrives in a steady stream, it can launch an assault on the heart of Taiyuan at any time. That would have a chance to destroy the Shenwu Ever-Victorious Army in one fell swoop.
And if these Song reinforcements can't be defeated and driven back, 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 front line of Lou Fu and block this passage to death. Even if the Jurchen follow-up army arrives, they will figure out the way to attack the fortified fortification and then break through the Lou Fu defense line. That's not ten days and half a month's work. At that time, the Shenwu Victorious Army, which was in 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!
Silversmith can now occupy an advantage. It is to have the upper hand in terms of troops. There is no need to mention the miscellaneous light ride. It has been declared a collapse, and even if there are nearly half of the military horses left to survive, it can no longer survive as an army. However, the Lou Chamber's subordinate who followed him south also rushed to the vanguard of the Pucha Wulie subordinate department, and there were seven Mouke, even if they were all dissatisfied, and the Jurchen iron cavalry numbered 1,3400. There are also seven or eight hundred auxiliary troops such as Cangtou bullet press. At this time, he can also mobilize troops and horses, and on the one hand, he can isolate the connection between the Song reinforcements and the city with the Pucha Wulie Department and the auxiliary army, and on the other hand, he can also lead hundreds of elite cavalry of the Lou Chamber. As a mobile force, he bit the Song people's military horses and fought. Moreover, the Jurchen Mouke of the Pucha Wulie Department who came later is still coming one after another!
This is where the confidence of silversmithing lies in the end.
And the cavalry that the Song army went out of the city to raid at that time was a commander, and the cavalry who came to help was also a commander. Du Ruhu's command was not satisfied, but Li Yizhong's command was overstaffed. The total of 600 cavalry was slightly insufficient, although the combat strength was strong, not only brought heavy casualties to the Jurchen military horses, but also destroyed the Zahu military horses. But the Duru Tiger Department has almost been wiped out, and only Li Yizhong's department is still rushing left and right on the battle formation.
But for the Shenwu Ever-Victorious Army, their advantage is that as long as they get in touch with Loufu City, they can do a field battle situation according to the city. Then there is nothing to fear. And for the top and bottom of the Shenwu Victorious Army, they also firmly believe in it. King Yan, who is personally sitting in Taiyuan, will also send them reinforcements in an endless stream, not to mention, the cavalry army led by Li Zhong is on the way to come!
Both sides have the same intention to defeat each other and expel them from the battlefield before the other side's reinforcements arrive one after another. Both sides gritted their teeth and prepared to fight to the end. So this war is still developing towards a climax!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hundreds of horsemen under Li Zhong's department, after slightly retreating the Jurchen military horses on the eastern flank, from the commander to the head of the capital to the head of the team, were desperately shouting and reorganizing the formation. The armor soldiers, who had been reduced to less than three hundred horsemen, rotated ninety degrees, formed a formation with a narrow front and long depth, and before the cavalry army that could be desperately rushing from the west arrived, it began to accelerate again, rushing towards the direction of Loufu City!
Every armorer was covered in blood and sweat, the mane of the war horse was wet with sweat, and his chest and abdomen rose and fell violently. But the formation conversion was still completed quickly. Ignoring the retreating Jurchen knights, they immediately opened their bows 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 Loufu City, the Jurchen horsemen who were mixed with the brigade were also desperately rushing to arrive. With a Jurchen command, the cangtou bullets gasped violently and lined up in position. Hundreds of Jurchen infantry troops, you squeeze me and collide, and take out the strength to put out a wide frontal array, blocking between the reinforcements of the Southern Dynasty and the city of Loufu. And after these cangtou bullets overwhelmed the infantry army, the cavalry troops of the four Pucha Wulie Divisions who were seeking to overcome were also panting, and set up an array facing Lou Fu to prevent the defenders in Lou Fu City from suddenly opening the door and clashing.
If this array is broken by the Song army, needless to say, another elite cavalry will be added to the city, depending on the city's field situation. With the continuous arrival of reinforcements, the Jurchen army under Loufu City had no more to fight, and had to retreat eastward. Let the Song army control the battlefield, and then with the unique ability of the Han people to defend the palace, set up a continuous military village, dig trenches, build various defense facilities, and turn the first line of Loufu 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 caught and beaten by the Jurchen army, and it will be wiped out under the city. And when it was dark and could not fight again, Pucha Wulie's department was still coming. There are enough troops to force the city to be subordinated. While continuing to attack Lou to the death, he refused to reinforce Taiyuan in the east. After conquering Lou Fu, there is a stable starting position in the west of Taiyuan Mansion. You can continue to attack Taiyuan Mansion immediately! 、
The sound of hooves came to the ground, and these nervous and tired pale heads couldn't care about how their arrays were twisted and uneven. Panting and nervously, he drew out all kinds of step bows, and he didn't even have time to insert the feather arrows in rows on the ground for easy access. While watching the Song Army's iron cavalry getting closer and closer in front of him, he quickly opened his bow and arrows!
The sound of hooves came to the ground, and in the eyes of these pale bullets, those fiery red jumping helmets seemed to have filled all sight. They have been attached to the Jurchens since they were converted. has always watched the Jurchen iron horses ravage each other. How could I have thought of it. Stepping into this Southern Dynasty, which is said to be known for its weakness, you actually have to face such an iron cavalry formation!
In the angry shouts of the Jurchen generals, hundreds of bows finally opened into a full moon, and the Song army armor in front of them had already rushed to a distance of thirty or forty paces. In one breath, you can crash into the formation. Even the Jurchen knights of the Pucha Wulie tribe who were arrayed facing the city turned around in a panic. Finally, I heard the sound of strings, and hundreds of arrows with sharp and slender armor-piercing cones had already shot out!
At this distance, there is no need to eject. These hundreds of feathered arrows were all fired horizontally. These cangtou bullets are the main force of the Jurchen army's bow and crossbow output, and these auxiliary armies can survive under the cruel rule and ruthless labor of the Jurchens, and even in the lower ones such as the grassland and the Han of the Liao State. All of them are good shooters of all the tribes in the Northland. The foot bow used was powerful, and hundreds of feathered arrows were fired in a volley. There was a sharp whistling sound in the air!
At such a close distance, all strong bows are used. Even if you're wearing a layer of heavy armor, you can be shot through!
The bullet pressure in the front line can even be clearly seen that the iron face of the Song army armor soldier who rushed to the front has fallen, revealing a simple and loyal face. In the face of the feather arrows shooting out, the Song army armor soldier didn't even raise his eyebrows. In an instant, his mount and his body were splattered with blood, and more than a dozen feather arrows shot through the chest and face of his mount. And he was also hit by four or five arrows, and he was deeply immersed in his body. There was even an arrow that pierced him in the cheek!
But this armor soldier still stepped the spurs into the belly of the beloved horse. The battered war horse, with a long neigh, still exerted its last strength, and rushed forward more than ten steps before falling to the ground. And the armor soldier was just in front of the war horse, stepped on the stirrup with a long sound, roared angrily and threw the spear in his hand, the spear shot at the lightning, nailing the two Jurchen infantry soldiers in front and behind in one place, and the Song army armor soldier fell down with the mount!
From the head of Lou Fu City, Li Zhong's impact can be seen clearly. Countless arrows flew from the Jurchen infantry array. And the iron flow of the Shenwu Ever-Victorious Army suddenly splashed with pieces of blood. There are no knights who fall from their horses, and there are not many horses that fall to the ground. The first few rows of Song army armor soldiers were almost swept away by this dense rain of arrows. But this iron cavalry still didn't make a sound, as if it could never be stopped, and then it crashed into the Jurchen infantry array again!
Under such an indomitable impact, the Jurchen infantry army array composed of these cangtou bullets is no better than the Zahu infantry army. The same long scream, the same stabbed blade rolled up in the sky full of blood, the same was hit and fled, and the same was trampled into the mud and dust by the war horse!
The infantry array composed of seven or eight hundred people suddenly collapsed, and in an instant, the Song army armor had already entered the depth, and at this point when they were hit by the iron horse, the chaos spread rapidly. The bullets that were lucky enough to survive under the horse's hooves were bumping everywhere, just wanting to avoid the ravages of the iron cavalry of this strong army of the Southern Dynasties. The screams and wails of all kinds of languages rang out in unison, and the chaos was about to grow bigger and bigger, until the entire array collapsed!
And at this time, those Jurchen armor horsemen of the Pucha Wulie tribe who were lined up in the rear finally reacted. Several Mouke shouted loudly, and these hundreds of Jurchen iron horsemen didn't care if there would be military horses out of the city to attack. Turning around, he urged his mount to step into the infantry array formed by those pale bullets from behind!
For those who stood in the way, the Jurchen armor rode the same merciless longitudinal horses and slashed with knives. Under the attack from both ends, the seven or eight hundred auxiliary troops who worked for the Jurchens cried and wailed ten times louder, and in an instant, they were all killed, and from front to back, they completely collapsed at once!
The two sides have collided again today. And then it's a merciless slashing of each other. Both sides are extremely tired, and both sides are fighting for the last bloody bravery. I don't know how many knights stabbed each other in the chest when they fought, and then fell off their horses together. Falling off the vest and riding, but there is a breath there, and it is still entangled and scuffled until it is trampled by the chaotic horse.
Li Zhong's subordinates, after destroying the Zahu light cavalry, drove back the Jurchen cavalry on the eastern flank, and launched an attack on the city of Loufu, after destroying the infantry array composed of the Jurchen auxiliary army. was finally stopped, and stopped moving forward from Taiyuan Mansion to here!
Above the city, Li Yizhong's eyes widened, and together with all the soldiers and soldiers, he watched the desperate bloody battle of these reinforcements in front of him with their last breath. Watch them kill through the enemy formation all the way, all the way to a stone's throw away from Loufu City. Seeing that the Jurchens had exhausted their means, they finally stopped the last step of their rush to the death.
The smoke and dust were rolling behind, and the hundreds of Jurchen armor horses led by Yinshu could finally arrive at this time. Whether it is Du Ruhu or Li Zhong's department, today's war has reached the level of the highest peak of the cavalry army in this era. But the Jurchen cavalry they faced was also the pinnacle of force in this era, and they were also running all the way south, and they were also exhausted, but the Jurchen cavalry was also fighting from beginning to end, looking for the elite collision of the Shenwu Victorious Army again and again, and there was no intention of retreating. It seems that no matter how many life-for-life battles the southerners have to fight with heavy casualties, they will accompany these Jurchen military horses to the end!
The tragic scene of the cavalry melee on the battlefield was finally joined by the Yinshu Ke Division. Finally let the Jurchens gain the upper hand. The speed of the horses on both sides has completely decreased, and they are fighting in a narrow range, and their lives are being consumed rapidly.
Li Yizhong watched as a Song army soldier who looked like a general was so tired that he could not wield his long blade, so he could only draw his sword, rush left and right, and slash desperately. The knights who guarded him kept falling off their horses and being scattered, and when they arrived, there were only two or three lonely horsemen around him. And the Jurchens also seemed to find out that this was a general in the Song army, and more armored cavalry surrounded and killed.
The Song army will use their last strength to shout and fight, the sword is knocked away, and all the guards around him are killed. He still grabbed the spear that came from the stabbing and fought hard! Then several more spears stabbed him hard. The Song army general was shocked and froze on the horse, and the Jurchen armor cavalry wanted to snatch back the spear that he had captured, but it was like this spear was inserted into the mountain, and he could not snatch it back!
Li Yizhong didn't know that this general, who fought to the end and had 29 wounds on his body, did not shed much blood when he died. It's the name that bears a bit like him. Shenwu Changsheng Army's left wing, deputy capital Yu Marquis envoy Li Zhong!
Li Yizhong's eyes were blood-red, he only hated why he was not a member of the army who was a god and a martial artist, he only hated why there were no more people in the city who could go out of the city to fight, and he only hated the officials and soldiers along the way, why they all fled!
The sound of swans sounded in the sky again, and Li Zhong's gaze slowly turned over. At the eastern skyline, under the reflection of the sun, another row of cavalry opened the array, and the red triangular flame tooth banner hunted and danced in front of the formation. Then when the first general, he also silently flattened the horse lance in his hand, and hundreds of snow-bright blades hung down at the same time, pointing at the enemy!
And reinforcements are coming! There are also those who dare to fight! It's still a victorious army! How fortunate is the Great Song Dynasty, he has to meet King Yan, and there must be such a martial army!
The Jurchen horses were still fighting hard under the city, and they also heard the sound of swans in the western sky.
At this time, even the most brave Jurchen armor warriors were a little cold and depressed.
How could this strong army of southerners be so tenacious? One is gone, and the other comes, as if it were endless, as if it could never be killed! But with this strong army of the southerners, how can we Jurchens destroy this southern dynasty?
At the same time, the horns of the Jurchen army also sounded in the west, and at the eastern skyline, a Jurchen cavalry army also opened the array. Under the black banner, these Jurchen military horses also lowered their blades one after another.
Another Jurchen Mouke from Pucha Wulie's department also joined the battlefield, and both sides were doing their best to put their troops into the battlefield of Loufu on this day!
Yinshu Ke has also gone into battle in person, covered in blood. When the southerners reappeared, he might be the only one, still hard-hearted. At this time, he just shouted: "The southerners want to fight!" We're here to fight them to the end! Look who is standing here last! (To be continued......)
