Chapter 32 is just to kill a cushion back, and Huangquan Road is not lonely
The Song Dynasty had a large population, a large number of taxes, and a wide range of soldiers, so it could organize many types of troops, such as the chariot army, the infantry army, the horse army, and the navy army, with a high degree of specialization, and they were all professional soldiers.
And there are few Jurchens, which also dooms the Jurchens to almost all soldiers, and the troops are also very single, there is only one type of troops, that is, cavalry. A typical trick is eaten all over the world, Jurchen soldiers are usually ordinary people, warriors in big battles, cavalry when riding horses, engineers when attacking cities, water is water army, and horses are heavy infantry when they die in battle.
Now some Jurchen soldiers saw that the war horses were tired and could not hold on, so they simply dismounted and took on the role of heavy infantry, and were responsible for sweeping the tail behind some cavalry.
"What a pity! I have few soldiers, and my horses are tired, and if I have another 5,000 cavalry, I will definitely cut off the head of the breeder! Heli looked at the defeated Song army, and a trace of loss flashed in his eyes, in the Song army, there were too few generals who dared to rush and kill like Seed Master Dao.
……
A thousand miles of embankment, destroyed in an anthill. The rout of the army may have been the beginning of the escape of just a small soldier. It may be that one of the minions fled, and then one after another, and finally formed a tide of rout, which could not be stopped, until finally it was completely defeated, or even died.
At the gate of the camp in the east, the seed master Dao led the soldiers to rush and kill, blocking the attack of the Jurchen iron cavalry with flesh and blood.
Victory lies in persistence, and persistence is victory.
The Jurchen Iron Knights are indeed strong, but the number is too small, under the long-term battle, the physical loss will inevitably be huge, and the morale will inevitably decline.
It's just that the Seed Master Dao did not wait for the moment of victory, but there was the sound of the west of the camp rushing, as well as the sky-high fire, and the Jurchen iron cavalry fighting vertically and horizontally, as if slaughtering cattle and sheep, slaughtering the soldiers of the Song army.
"Defeated, we lost!"
"There are too many iron horsemen of the Jin Army, like sea water, and you can't see the end!"
"The Jin Army is terrifying!"
With the collapse of the camp in the west, it quickly spread to the entire camp like a plague, and the soldiers who were originally fighting sharply looked at the camp that was rushing to the west, as well as the fire that rushed to the sky, and their morale suddenly fell to the extreme, defeated, defeated.
"Run for your life!"
The entire battalion was defeated, and the fear of the Song army, which had lost its morale, was permeated in their hearts, and they fled quickly, fearing that they would be chased and killed by the Jurchen iron cavalry behind, and they were constantly trampled.
The Seed Master shouted loudly, and the sword in his hand slashed and killed three fleeing soldiers in a row, but the rout continued.
The defeat was like a mountain.
A mountain that is about to fall, no one can stop it, even if Sun Wu is reborn, Bai Qi will not be able to reincarnate, and it is a seed master who is far inferior in the ability to lead the army.
Defeated, defeated!
"No!" Seed Master Dao's eyes were blood-red, and his voice was a little hoarse. The Breeder Army is defeated! The Northwest Army was defeated again!
This is not the first time it has been defeated, and it is not the last.
The famous Tong Guan was defeated back then, and now he has lost again.
Looking at the scattered soldiers, the cultivator Dao was suddenly disheartened, lost his soul, and was defeated. The weakened Great Song Dynasty could not withstand the defeat, and after the defeat, the emperor would sign an alliance under the city, and the coercion of the Heavenly Empire would no longer exist, and some would just be a fat pig to be slaughtered.
"Losing power and humiliating the country, how to live, it's better to die!"
The planter thought sadly.
Defeat is defeat, no one will sympathize with the loser, and no one will excuse him, they will only fall into the well and stomp on him a few times. Thinking of the hateful faces of those sword and pen officials, the seed master suddenly thought of Li Guang, Li Guang was unwilling to accept the insult of the sword and pen officials, and committed suicide.
"If I die, I die, and if I die in battle, I may receive the name of loyalty; If I live, I will be notorious, and I will be beheaded in the end! Seed Master Dao thought disheartenedly. The Northern Song Dynasty has always treated scholars and doctors, and even has the ancestral training of not killing scholars and doctors, but there is no habit of giving preferential treatment to martial artists. Since Taizu, the life of a martial artist is like a mustard, and there is no need for a reason to kill a martial artist, and he can kill if he wants to.
At this time, a spear stabbed him, and the cultivator did not dodge, avoiding his eyes, and quietly waiting for death to come.
Dead, it's all over!
There is no trouble, no pain, and no need to see the hateful face of the sword and pen.
At this time, instead of coming out of the stiffness of the gun entering the body, a pro-soldier voice came, "General, run!" ”
The seed master opened his eyes and saw a small soldier blocking in front of him, he didn't even know his name, but at this moment, he was sticking to his duty as a personal soldier, blocking in front of him, and blocking the death shot with his body.
"General, run!" The soldier shouted again, blood already flowing from the corners of his mouth.
"No ......"
A pro-soldier made a move, punched the head of the planter, and immediately the planter fainted, and then picked up the planter and left.
The master wanted to be a martyr, but his own soldiers did not agree, one blocked the attacking spear for him, and the other stunned him and left immediately.
…………
In a drowsy state, when the seed master woke up again, it was already dawn, and under the sun's rays, his eyes were a little dizzy, "When is this?" ”
"General, it's the second day, and we're camping again."
Standing up tremblingly, looking around, there were wounded soldiers everywhere, or soldiers who had lost their armor, and the camp was dead at the foot of the mountain. After two major battles in a row, especially the big defeat of the general one, morale has fallen to the extreme.
"How much, how much more, how much is lost?"
"Half of the soldiers were separated, and at this time only more than 12,000 people were collected, and most of them were wounded, of which more than 3,000 were seriously injured!" The adjutant next to him said sadly. This battle was extremely tragic. The whole army was hung up, there were no injuries on his body, and he was embarrassed to see people. And last night the camp was washed down, most of them have been dispersed, if it were not for the fatigue of the horses of the Jin army, unable to pursue and kill, the losses would have been even more heavy.
When the seed master heard this, he was dizzy for a moment, and he felt a sense of despair and death.
More than 30,000 elites came to the rescue, but now more than 10,000 people have survived, and they are defeated!
At this moment, the morale is low, and this soldier is not enough for the Jin army to stuff his teeth.
Looking at the soldiers around him, the cultivator felt that he should say something, and shouted, "Now we are alone. Want to run away, dream? I didn't see those who ran away die first; If you want to wait for reinforcements, dream, after a fierce battle for a day and a night, I didn't see a reinforcement from Bianliang, surrender, the Jin army is a Hulu, a beast, and after surrendering, it is also the result of being killed. ”
"Running away doesn't work; Waiting for reinforcements, there is no hope; Surrender and die. No one is not afraid of death, there is only one way back, and no one wants to fight to the death. But there is no way to retreat, running away, waiting for reinforcements, surrendering, it is not possible, only a battle to the death. ”
"All the soldiers of the army, killing one is enough, killing two earns one. Anyone can die today, and Ben will also die, but whoever wants to be valuable, at least pull a cushion before he dies, and Huangquan Road is not too lonely! The seed master shouted: "Loyal to the monarch to serve the country, swear to kill Hulu!" ”
"Loyal to the monarch to serve the country, swear to kill Hu Lu!"
"Loyal to the monarch to serve the country, swear to kill Hu Lu!"
"Loyal to the monarch to serve the country, swear to kill Hu Lu!"
The soldiers of the whole army shouted in unison, their eyes flashed with the courage to die, at this moment, at the most dangerous moment of the Great Song Dynasty, except for killing oneself, everything is nothing, everything is insignificant.
War brings death, but also weeds out weak soldiers, and only strong soldiers can live.
The Plantation Army fought two battles in succession and suffered heavy casualties, but it also honed its will to recognize and cultivate excellent soldiers with cruel laws. After two battles, those weak soldiers, timid soldiers, and soldiers with low physical strength died mercilessly on the battlefield, and those who survived were firm in mind and strong in combat.
There is no other way out, except for a battle against the water, except for the trapped beast fighting, there is no second way to go.
The whole army is waiting quietly at the moment, the last blow of life, not for victory, not for reward, just to kill a cushion, and not lonely on the Huangquan Road.
…………
At this moment, more than a dozen miles away, the river is waiting for reinforcements.
Heli was an excellent general among the Jurchens, bold and even crazy in his use of troops. Yesterday, with 5,000 Jurchen iron cavalry, the 30,000 infantry camp of the Seed Army was shaken; At night, it was a night attack, and the Jurchen iron cavalry in his early 3,000s shook the barracks of the breeders, and it was even more victorious.
However, victory comes at a price, there were 3,000 Jurchen iron horsemen at the time of the attack, and now more than 1,500 are killed, more than 700 are lightly and seriously wounded, and only less than 800 have combat strength. And among the 800 cavalry with combat strength, 300 must be divided to collect the corpses and take care of the wounded.
Chase after victory, everyone knows this common sense.
But the casualties were too great, and there were only 500 combatable cavalry. If the five hundred cavalry is against other Song troops, even if it is 30,000 or even 40,000, it is not enough to be afraid, and the victory is still mine, but the battle against 10,000 kinds of family troops is very hanging, and it is likely to be eaten in one bite.
Heli was crazy, but he was also the most sensible, watching the Plantation Army converge on the old army and gather the army, but gave up this opportunity.
Years of hunting have taught him that the trapped wolf is the most dangerous in the moment of desperation.
After this battle, his descendants and relatives were almost wiped out, and looking at the cold corpses on the ground, Heli felt a chill in his heart, "Master Dao, I remember you." You are the Song general I have ever seen, if all the Song generals kill enemies like you. How can my Jurchen drink the Yellow River and coerce Bianliang! ”
After this battle, the 3,000 Jurchen cavalry defeated the 20,000 army of the seed family, which was a great victory and an unprecedented victory in the eyes of the world.
However, in the river, this is not the case.
This time, the Jin army that threatened Bianliang was only 80,000, including the Jurchen army, the Han army, the Khitan army, the Xiren army, and the Bohai navy. The Jurchen army was the main force and a war soldier, while the Han army and the Khitan army were auxiliary troops. Of the 80,000 Jin troops, there were less than 40,000 Jurchen troops.
This time, he went south, passed Hebei, crossed the Yellow River, threatened Bianliang, and even besieged the city for many days. Since the conquest, most of the city defenses have been empty, and most of them have either run away from the county order, or they have run away from the prefecture, or they have been defeated with one blow, and the casualties are not too large.
There are many cities that fall from the wind and break down with zero casualties.
In the six months since the campaign, there have been less than 10,000 casualties, of which less than 5,000 have been suffered by the Jurchen army.
But in this battle, the 5,000 Jurchen Iron Cavalry suffered heavy losses and were almost disabled. The losses in this battle were almost equal to the total number of casualties of the Jurchen army since the southward campaign.
Such a victory, the Jurchens can't afford to fight!
Heli took a deep breath, if the Song people were as fierce as the Zhujia army, and fought more than a dozen such battles in a row, the number of Jurchen men would be sharply reduced, and then the Jurchen army would be out of balance with the Han army and the Bohai navy, so that the alien race would inevitably take the opportunity to cause chaos.
