However, at the barrage city three miles away, the sound of fighting and shouting came from the earth-shattering sound, but no one was distracted from the land battlefield here.

For the Song army, the battle between the land and the Jurchen army horses was ten times more dangerous than the water battle. At this time, it is still not enough to concentrate on it, where can you still be distracted from the water war?

Compared with the barrage and water war, the Jurchen military horses were poorly arranged, the scheduling was improper, and the clumsiness and cowardice of the fight. At present, the Jurchen infantry army waiting in layers of formations is known at a glance that it is a strong army.

Due to the lack of resources, the Western Route Army led by Zong Han did not spend much energy on the training of auxiliary armies such as Cangtou bullet press. When fighting, it is basically used as a simple archer.

As for the Eastern Route Army Group, the Liao people's anointed land is under control as soon as possible, and the population under its rule is also larger. After the collapse of the Liao, there were hundreds of thousands of troops and horses of all colors who surrendered, and the infantry troops selected from them were much better than Zong Han's subordinates from any point of view.

Zong Han led the Western Route Army to fight for a longer time, and even went as far as the desert, sweeping and subduing the grassland tribes. Before Xi was warm, he instigated a move to the south to attack the Song Dynasty. Although because of the continuous war, the command level of the generals is higher, and the real female and real iron cavalry still has the simple and brave spirit when the army first started. Under the same number, the combat effectiveness of the True Jurchen Division was actually superior to that of the Eastern Route Army.

However, when it comes to family background, the Western Route Army is far worse than the Eastern Route Army. And the Eastern Route Army has a longer cultivation and training time, in addition to the real Jurchen Iron Cavalry, which is originally the backbone, there is more time to polish these Jurchen infantry troops who are mainly based on cangtou bullet pressure.

The battlefield here is not huge. The defense system of the Song army's military fortress, which was still held in the northwest of Yi County, split the Jurchen army in the east and west into two parts. The number of military horses that can enter the battlefield along the river and set them up is already full of five or six thousand. Even if you have to mobilize reinforcements. It can also only be joined from the rear. Extremely troublesome and inconvenient. And the Jurchen army generals who are in command of this aspect are ready to be transferred to their command with the current level. The military horses that spread along the river fought to the end with the Song people.

On this small battlefield, from the bank of the river to the northwest of the Song army, outside the range of the military fortress, there were about 4,000 Jurchen infantry troops, and there were more than ten columns on top of each other. In the array, dozens of Jurchen Mouke flags fluttered. These military horses are really Jurchen Mouke, whether it is the head of the brand or Pu Liyan, most of these backbones are mature Jurchens, all of them are newly built by the Eastern Route Army in the past two years, and they all have the land of Benmouke in Liaodong. Although it is far from the status of the old Mouke of the Jurchens, it is by no means cannon fodder.

These more than 4,000 infantry troops were all archers in front, and there were ten Mouke who were close to 2,000. Each of them wore a sleeveless cuirass, an iron scarf, and no battle skirt. Each of them carried a horned bow, a short sword at his waist, and four fine feathered arrows in a sack.

And after the archers in the front row, there are foot fighters in heavy armor. Under the cover of the archers in the front row, the formation of these infantry fighters was obviously heavy on the wings and light on the middle. Each sergeant was a full suit of iron-scaled armor, braving the chill in the rain. All they hold are long blades. This is the main force preparing for the array fight.

The one with the wings open is the old female real iron horse, and there are as many as four Mouke. As with the Song army, it was arranged less on one wing of Yishui and much more on the other. Needless to say, the equipment of these old female real iron riders is like a tin can, and on the side of the saddle, the maids are forked with all kinds of blades. In general, with the Song army, it also played a role in stabilizing the position.

Under the banner of pulling out the speed behind the battle, there was also his direct guard Mouke, guarding several wheeled chariots. And the pull out speed was on top of one of the chariots, and the guò flag and drum horn mobilized and commanded the whole army.

Such an array composed mainly of infantry troops, the formation is neat, the banners are clear, the iron armor is clear, and the blades are sharp. A team of thousands of people, not the slightest noise and disturbance. Most people in the world think that Hu Lu just relied on riding and shooting to kill. But the Eastern Route Army pulled out such an infantry army, which was no worse than the elite infantry in the Song Army!

Standing on top of the Xi chariot, he glanced at the magnificent military appearance under his command, full of confidence.

Fortunately, Zong Bi did not choose me to command the battle of the Shiniao barrage, and sent me here to isolate Yi County and the southerners to reinforce the army. As long as you are on land, right away or on foot. How the southerners want to fight, I will accompany them to fight to the end! As long as the southerners dare to come out, maybe they can defeat the elite people they selected and transferred with one blow, and they will kill Yi County!

While waiting in the formation here, the pullaway thought that the southerners would not have the courage to come out and challenge such an array.

And in the end, the southerners still came out!

In the drizzle, I saw that the southerners also opened their arrays, the flags were flying, and the drums and trumpets were sounding. The ironclad men of the brigade walked forward slowly. This scene of slaughter shows that the southerners in the city are also an elite army!

Such an opponent has a taste for fighting!

The only thing that worried him a little was that in this rainy weather, the infantry army under the command of the infantry army who used the horn bow on the counter would suffer a little. However, even if they suffered some losses in the shooting and suffered slightly heavy casualties, they firmly believed that they would not be shot down!

However, the plan to pull out the speed is to use these new Moks to firmly nail the Song army array. Then under the cover of the cavalry, those old Jurchen Mouke who stepped into the battle came out from both wings, first crushed the flanks of the Song army, and drove the entire array of the Song army to collapse.

When the losses are so heavy, how long can this damn Yi county hold out?

In front of him, the array of the Song army was getting closer and closer, and it was already a hundred steps away. On top of the Xi car, the outfits of these Song soldiers could already be clearly seen at the speed of pulling out.

Compared with the Nuzhen Erlang, these Song soldiers are taller and bigger, and the sleeveless iron scale armor on their bodies is dazzling in the rain, and each Song army wears a hood and wears a Fan Yang hat, which is to use Fan Yang Li's wide brim to shield from the rain. On the top of the hood, the red tassel sucked enough water and hung down, dazzling red.

The Song army's open archery array was about a thousand people. Divide into three columns. You can see the Song army in the front column holding the crossbow machine obliquely. With the dull beat of drums. Steady dìng stride forward. There was no pause, no flinching.

And the thick Jurchen archery array in front of the pullaway speed finally started to move. Thousands of horned bows suddenly opened like a full moon with the sound of long or short commands from military generals. The front row is full of armor-piercing light arrows, and the rear row is full of heavy arrows for projectiles. Thousands of cold arrows were clustered, densely facing the Song army brigade that was still slowly approaching!

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

Yang Zaixing and Thirteen were both in the cavalry array on the flanks, and the entire cavalry under command was also lined up in a slightly loose array. Slowly move forward at the speed of the infantry.

In the rain and mud, the horses under their crotches seemed to have more difficulty than usual when they marched. Coupled with days of bloody battles, rushing back and forth. Although people are hungry and have to feed their mounts, these horses still lose a lot of fat, and they are not very excited now, obviously not in the best condition.

Seeing that he was escorting the infantry on the flank to a distance of more than 100 steps away from the Jurchen Great Array, Yang Zaixing raised the big gun in his hand and swung it left and right. The entire cavalry command stopped. On the opposite side, the Jurchen Iron Cavalry, who had been watching the movements of the Song cavalry, never moved. did not take advantage of Yang Zaixing, they stopped to attack.

But if the Jurchen Tartars in front of him dare to rush over. Yang Zaixing is also not afraid. These days led the cavalry to fight, although Yang Zaixing still did a mess in the management of various affairs in the army. But on the command. It's also growing up rapidly. The vision scheduling is not comparable to the previous Yang Yibu, who was just thinking about rushing into the formation.

On such a muddy road, the Jurchen Iron Cavalry, which was more than a hundred paces away, wanted to rush over, but it couldn't raise its speed. A burst of indiscriminate fire from the infantry crossbow machine is enough to shoot these Jurchen Tartars into dogs.

The opposite lineup was more than twice the size of Yang Zaixing's Jurchen Tartar iron cavalry, and sure enough, they just watched the movements of the Song army's cavalry coldly, and they didn't have the slightest intention of rushing forward.

Whether it was fighting with the Jurchen Western Route Army or the Eastern Route Army, Xiao Yan's strong cavalry and Jurchen iron cavalry, which can be called the first in the Great Song Dynasty, have always been fighting in various battles. Today, the cavalry on both sides are very restrained, not to mention the cavalry battle hedge, that is, they did not do anything to harass and open the cavalry guard, but just suppressed the position. In today's battle, both sides are united in one mind, ready to use the infantry army to collide fiercely and divide a winner or loser!

Yang Zaixing stood at the front, turned his head and watched the infantry soldiers cross the cavalry without pause and stepped forward, with sonorous iron armor and steady steps. An infantry commander even grinned at Yang Zaixing, which could be regarded as a greeting.

And after the three columns of archers, it is the foot warriors who come out of the sandwich road of the Shuiguan Zhaizhai Gate!

This infantry warrior has the scale of a thousand men and two commanders, but at this moment they are only wearing scarves and no armor, and they are followed by the auxiliary army of the brigade, carrying their iron armor on their backs. The two commanding infantry sergeants marched much faster than the armored archers, and each of them had long blades in their hands, and looking at their ranks, it was obvious that they were concentrated in the center of the array.

At this time, the heavy generals of both sides standing on the high place had already seen the shape of the battlefield. Both sides started the game with foot shots, and then entered the hand-to-hand combat with ironclad infantry fighters. However, the Jurchens focused on the two wings, with the idea of annihilating as many Song soldiers as possible. And the Song army focused on the center, with the idea of penetrating the Jurchen Tartar array as much as possible and rushing to the reinforcements along the river!

The two sides arranged their own arrangements, in fact, no one is more clever. In the end, the winner is decided only to see who is braver and who is more tenacious on both sides!

On the battlefield, as the infantry arrays of the two sides got closer and closer, it became even more slaughtering, and even the rain seemed to carry a trace of ominous blood. The sound of shouting and fighting on the river in the distance was heard, which further predicted how tragic the upcoming collision on the battlefield would be under the cold rain!

Yang Zaixing retracted his gaze on the infantry army, in the next battle, these brothers who slowly but firmly entered the battlefield will have tragic casualties, and I don't know how many people can return to Yixian City to talk and laugh. However, as a sergeant, it is expected to fight with Hulu, and the male husband does not have to be sentimental with his mother-in-law.

Yang Zaixing's gaze only fell on the direction of the Jurchen general who was in command behind the Jurchen array, and after a dead glance, he suddenly turned to the thirteenth beside him: "Can you find the flaws in the Jurchen Tartar?" Give us a chance to rush in? Stab this Tartar Bird General. It's not in vain! ”

Thirteen followed Yang Zaixing's side. Compared to the ape arm, the bee waist is extremely strong, and in the later life, he can be in the magazine to sell the abs and the mermaid line. He was thin and inconspicuous on the horse. This time he went to Yandi with Liu Baozhong, and Liu Baozhong originally put him by his side to protect his safety, but later found out that this kid couldn't die anywhere, so he simply followed him.

Yang Zaixing and Thirteen are also a little friendly, and Yang Zaixing is a little convinced of Thirteen's ability. This skinny guy is born with a keen sense of smell in the fight! But whenever he is in battle, Yang Zaixing is always willing to pull him. Although Thirteen is not a person in the command system like him, he is every time he goes into battle. Thirteen always put on his clothes quietly and stepped forward to fight the most dangerous and tragic battle with Yang Zaixing.

Hearing Yang Zaixing's question, the thirteen stubby eyebrows moved, and his small eyes glanced at the opposite side of the detachment flag, but he just shook his head: "Not now." ”

Yang Zaixing also knew that it was hopeless, now that the Jurchen infantry army was lined up, and the cavalry army was even more tiger on the flank, he knew that no matter how high he thought of himself, he knew that he couldn't rush through. In the end, I could only snort fiercely: "Straight lady thief, I don't believe that I can't wait for the time!" ”

In the cold rain, the Song army array finally approached the red feather arrow with its tail feathers inserted in the ground. But they still haven't stopped, and they continue to move forward!

Generals on both sides watching the battle. No matter where you are, no matter how far the barrage battle has been going on, and how fierce the fight is, you should focus on it at this time. Everyone unconsciously clenched their fists, just waiting for the fight to break out! The collision of the infantry arrays of the two sides without any fancy is always the most tragic and critical place on the battlefield!

Standing on top of the car, he suddenly slashed his palm. The guards around him suddenly blew more than ten horns, which was just a monotonous long tone. A deep whining sound in the rain.

The sound of the horn had just sounded, and the sound of a bowstring vibrating was densely sounded!

Countless pairs of hands holding the bowstring suddenly let go, and naturally let go, the bowstring trembled, bringing up a splash of water, and at this moment, in the Jurchen army array, a white mist rose!

Thousands of arrows roared up, rushing towards the array where the Song army was still moving forward, and the battlefield was obscured by this dense rain of arrows for a while!

Countless feathered arrows fell, rushing into the Song army's array like flying locusts, or hitting the iron armor with a metallic collision sound, or a muffled sound of tearing flesh and blood, and in an instant, a piece of the Song army's array fell!

At this moment, the Song army was about seventy steps away from the Jurchen array. Under normal weather, at such a distance, the armor-piercing light arrows fired by the Jurchens were already quite powerful, and for these Song Army archers who were only wearing a layer of seven or eight pounds of sleeveless scale armor, they could already cause effective damage.

However, in today's battle, the weather was humid and rainy, and the bow power of the Jurchen arrow array was attenuated by at least thirty percent. However, if the feather arrow falls on the scarf or the armor, whether it is a flat or heavy arrow, it will not break the armor. However, the Song army archers shot for the convenience of holding crossbows, and the cover was not complete after all. Under such a dense rain of arrows, there were still as many as forty or fifty people who fell from the arrows on their arms and legs!

The commander of the battle was not aware of the effect of wet weather on the strength of the bow, but still began to shoot at a distance of seventy paces. The Jurchen archers used bows, and the Song army used crossbows. The Jurchens naturally took advantage of the rate of fire, and the Song army seemed to want to ensure that the absolute power gave the Jurchens a chance first, and it was not polite to pull out the speed, so they simply started early, shot a few more rounds, and saw how long these southerners could last!

The Song army was still moving forward silently, according to the arrangements made in advance, and there was no one to even rescue the wounded who fell to the ground. These soldiers and soldiers, with indifferent faces, continued to move forward slowly.

In later generations, it was said that in modern nation-states, there were only infantry armies forming arrays and enduring huge casualties and shooting at each other without collapsing, which is actually wrong. The man of the Han family, since the pre-Qin period, has been good at forming an array to ride on foot, enduring the back and forth of Hu cavalry and throwing arrow rain, bearing constant casualties, and still shooting the bow and crossbow in his hand firmly and steadily. Until the Tartars themselves collapse!

There was the Song generation, because it had lost a stable and qualified horse source for a long time, and it was not possible to form a large-scale cavalry army. It took a lot of effort to build on the infantry array. With hundreds of thousands of Liao people with iron cavalry, they can barely maintain the strategic balance of power, and the war against Western Xia is basically pushed over by relying on the stubborn battle of the infantry army step by step.

Gyeonggi, Hebei, Jiangnan and other places, the Song Dynasty army Ma Chengping has been rotten for decades, and it can be ignored. But the Western Army, which invested huge resources to maintain and keep fighting. At least the infantry army is on top of the battle. It is still at a high level. Not to mention Xiao Yan's new division that has gathered elites from all walks of life and has been fighting fiercely since the formation of the army!

What is the rain of arrows?

(To say a few more words, in fact, the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty was not without a chance militarily.) At that time, the Song Dynasty was at least able to mobilize and organize an army of 200,000 capable of fighting. The reason for the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty was more because of the various tricks of the ruling center. The rise of Mongolia was a real military far overwhelming the Southern Song Dynasty. The siege of Xiangyang even concentrated half of the world's servant armies gathered from all over the Rus' in Central Asia and the Near East, and set up countless Huihui artillery that surpassed the Song Dynasty in terms of technology, and bombarded it day and night. As for the end of the Ming Dynasty, the inheritance of the classical military system of the Han family was given up cleanly, and such a strange system appeared in the regular army. And the military system of the new era has not yet been established. It can be said that the end of the era can be regarded as the period when the Han family's military force was at its lowest - Oscar press)

In the Jurchen army array, another round of arrow rain rose, and this round of launches, although not as neat as the first time, was in the Song army's formation. Thirty or forty more fell.

The pace of the Song army still did not pause for a moment. In the end, the sergeants gritted their teeth and lay in the mud, trying their best not to make a miserable noise. The vacated positions they vacated, and the archers in the back row made up for them a few steps before they were silent.

Then came the third round. At this time, the Song army had already forced a distance of sixty paces, and the feather arrow with red tail feathers had long been submerged in the Song army's array. At this distance, another round of feather arrows came down, and they were finally able to break the armor, and there were as many as fifty or sixty soldiers of the Song army who fell for a while, and in the Song army array, there was finally a scream!

Pulling away quickly watched this iron man wave slowly approaching, countless feather arrows rose and fell, but this human wave always pushed forward steadily. There are no southerners who have fallen, but there has never been a gap in the human waves. I didn't even hear the slightest scream of pain. If it weren't for the fact that he really saw the Nanren sergeant fall to the ground with an arrow, he would have wondered for a while that the arrow array he had laid out was useless!

When he finally heard the screams of the Song army, he suddenly realized that his fist was almost clenched out of the water, and at this time he finally let go a little.

But at this time, the Song Army array finally stopped! A wave of iron and steel, still stable without the slightest gap. With the accent of the step drum, countless crossbow machines were suddenly put up, and the cold arrows of the forest were shining brightly, exuding endless cold air in the continuous rain curtain!

Sixty paces away, both sides can already be seen. The Jurchen infantry array suddenly became in a commotion. You can see a Jurchen sergeant's eyes widen and his face distorted, but as the Jurchen army that is still at the peak of its strength at this moment, it still stands still, and countless horned bows are still pulling the bow and winding it, ready to continue to throw a dense rain of arrows!

The step drum is accented again.

The sound of the tooth hair pulling was loud, and the sound of the crossbow strings vibrating violently was ten times more powerful than the Jurchen arrow array!

The power of the crossbow machine was fully revealed in such a close range of almost close level fire, hundreds of crossbow arrows roared into the dense array of the Jurchen infantry army, blood splashed, and the screams immediately rang out to the ground!

After the first round of shooting, the crossbowmen in the back did not step forward, but just handed over the crossbow machine and took over the empty shot from the front formation. Then there was another round of intensive shooting, and finally a third round. Until nearly a thousand pre-twisted crossbow machines were launched in just a few breaths!

The Jurchens' dense and complete infantry array, after the three rounds of arrows swept through, the front rows were almost swept away, the corpses were layered on top of each other, and the blood gushed out like a stream, dyeing the land on their bodies into a bright red muddy color! The screams resounded even more through the battlefield, and many girls and real wounded people just rolled and struggled in the bloody mud. It turned out that the ten Jurchen Mouke flags that were raised high had already fallen down on three sides, including the Jurchen Mouke who was standing in the queue and commanding, all of them were swept by this arrow, and they were shot like hedgehogs!

It's just that this sudden blow is approaching, and the damage suffered by Song Jun just now has been returned several times!

The Jurchen infantry array finally inevitably became chaotic. But at this time, it can be seen that the Jurchen military horse, after all, is a strong army in this era. Many girls are really low-level and middle-level backbones, and at this time, they are all trying their best to shout, restraining the military horses under their command, letting them stand still, fill the gap in the array in front, continue to shoot with their bows, and exchange lives with these southerners!

The bowstring fluttered after a brief pause, then rattled again. There were also the hoarse screams of the wounded. It turned out that the strict Jurchen infantry array had been gnawed like a dog, and there were gaps of all sizes. But every Jurchen sergeant is still firing arrows!

In the rain of arrows, people in the Song army's array also continued to fall. However, these Song army archers were still unmoved, bowing their heads and stepping on the crossbow to wind up, including the commander, everyone's attention was focused on the crossbow machine in their hands, and the brothers around them fell down, and they never looked aside!

The feather arrows roared, and large and small gaps were also opened in the Song army's formation, at this time, it was just a simple change of life. It's up to anyone who can hold on.

On the high mound behind, Zong Bi, who had already turned all his attention to the people here, had already stood up.

As a general, how could he not realize that the approaching blow of the Song army had completely disrupted the original shooting rhythm of the Jurchen infantry army. Seeing the situation of this shooting, I am afraid that I will suffer. Maybe these ten Mouke's archer arrays will be swept through by the Song Army's archers!

Zong Bi couldn't help but grit his teeth and shouted: "Pull out the speed, what are you waiting for, the heavily armored man stepped forward!" ”

At the other end, Liu Baozhong, who was above the watchtower, also knocked on the railing: "Good shot!" One more round, defeat these dog tartars! Let our armor prepare, and after this round, go up and cut his mother! ”

Liu Baozhong's flag to command the army was waved, dragging behind the archer array in front, and the hedgehogs gathered in the center of the battle line had already finished wearing armor at this time, lined up into a small width, deep but deep array, hundreds of giant axes in front, the cold light was shining, just waiting for another round of arrows to shoot, then change the formation and launch an attack!

After several rounds of arrows, the crossbow machine was finally finished. A Song army commander raised his head, and looked around, in the Song army's array, the corpses were also layered, and the wounded were also struggling in the blood-colored mud. This is not a good time to be sad, and such a sight can only provoke greater anger!

Hundreds of crossbows rose up one after another, and the commander shouted hoarsely: "Wait for my order!" ”

In the battle array, he could only hear the shouts of one person, and the other commander who was standing side by side with him had already fallen in a pool of blood at this time.

The conductor gritted his teeth and waited for all the crossbow machines to be flat. And the Jurchen army array on the opposite side also saw this terrifying scene, I don't know how many girls really tartar burst out with a desperate and fearful roar, as much as possible to speed up the firing speed of the horn bow in their hands, and even many people pulled the bowstring, under the whipping of the broken string, the blood on the face and hands surged!

When the last crossbow machine also rose flat, the commander made the guards around him hold the drum and drumstick, and finally waited for the commander to wave his hand down.

An accent sounded again, and then countless arrows swept the Jurchen Tartar array again!

With the sound of drums at the same time, there was the sound of the rapid horn in the Jurchen army array, and the Jurchen ironclad infantry soldiers of the brigade began to move, and the speed of the shooting game was ready to admit defeat, and the following was the fierce collision between the ironclad soldiers of the two sides! (To be continued......)
