Chapter 294: Who's Afraid of Whom?

If Wanyan Wushu can travel to the modern era and carry the products of modern industry, such as bulldozers or tanks, back to the Song Dynasty more than 900 years ago, it will be easy to solve this large area of obstacles in front of him.

It's a pity that Wanyan Wushu doesn't have the ability to travers.

In desperation, Wanyan Wushu had no choice but to order the cavalry of the Jin Kingdom to dismount, walk step by step in front of those horse rejecting pistols and antlers, and slowly remove these obstacles.

These obstacles are so heavy that they cannot be easily moved by one or two people, and it takes several people to work together to carry them away.

Although this process is simple, there is one thing, Song Jun will not let Jin Bing destroy the fruits of his labor in vain, and will definitely try his best to fight back.

The Song army's means of counterattack were simple - wait with bows and arrows.

As a result, the knights of the Jin Kingdom, who were carrying heavy objects in front, became slow-moving targets, allowing the archers of the Song army to shoot.

That feeling was so refreshing, those archers of the Song army kept bending their bows and shooting arrows at the Jin soldiers, until their hands were numb, and then they gave up their position to their companions.

There are already countless how many Jin soldiers fell under the bows and arrows of the Song army, and when the Jin soldiers worked hard to remove the obstacles on the passageway, the color of the passage ground has changed from the original yellow to crimson, which is soaked by the blood of the Jin soldiers

After a huge cost, those hateful obstacles were finally removed.

However, in the face of the large-scale fortifications built by the Song army on the loess, Wanyan Wushu did not want to let the cavalry break through alone, so he made a big move. From the rear of the position. Dozens of huge catapults were towed.

These catapults are bulky. The destructive power is strong, and it was specially brought by the Wanyan Wushu to attack the Immortal Pass, and now it has to be used in advance.

If the Jin soldiers were allowed to tow these catapults to the launch position, and let those huge stones fall on the fortifications of the Song army, the situation of the Song army would be unimaginable.

Wu Lan is now standing on the top of the temporary fortifications, and every move of Wanyan Wushu falls in his eyes; When Jin Bing pushed the large catapult out of the position, Wu Lan smiled.

If you compare your strength with the golden soldiers. Song Bing may not be able to do so; If he competes with Jin Bing in horsemanship, Song Bing may also lose to his opponent; However, the project of the competition is a trebuchet, and the winner must be Song Jun.

You must know that such things as large catapults were originally invented by the people of the Song Dynasty. The reason why Jin Bing has these things is that they were made by Han craftsmen for them.

However, in the Song Dynasty, the craftsmen of the highest level were enshrined in the forging bureau of the imperial court, and how could the works of the craftsmen of the Minjin be compared with the products of the official family.

Since Wu Jue had made up his mind to defend the Immortal Pass, how could such a large device not be prepared?

As a result, Jin Bing's catapult has not yet begun to fire. From the fortifications of the Song army, bursts of stone rain had flown out, sprinkling on the positions of the Jin soldiers.

No matter in terms of number, range, intensity, etc. The Jin soldiers' catapults were not as good as the Song army, and the Jin soldiers' attacks in this round had long been doomed to failure.

I don't know how long it took, but the rain of stones flying out of the Song military fortifications finally stopped.

After finishing the face and vultures, he wanted to cry without tears, and the blood ran through the pupils.

It was so miserable that not only were the dozens of trebuchets smashed to pieces and unusable, but also the thousands of gold soldiers on the official road were not survived

It seems that opportunism is no longer going to work.

Wanyan Wushu gritted his teeth and let the Jin soldiers rearrange themselves into an array of cavalry and launch a strong attack on the fortifications of the Song army, which is what the Jin soldiers are good at.

At this time, it was already dusk, and the remnant sun was like blood, staining most of the sky red.

Tens of thousands of golden soldiers shouted loudly to cheer themselves on, while desperately charging forward.

After surviving several rounds of arrow rain from the Song army, the cavalry of the Jin State was less than a hundred paces away from the Song army's fortifications. Suddenly, an astonishing scene appeared: in the fortifications of the Song army, a large group of infantry rushed out and rushed in the direction of the Jin soldiers.

Isn't it, Wu Lan actually used infantry to hedge against the Jurchen cavalry, what is the difference between this and sending him to death?

Just when Yan Wushu was puzzled, an even more astonishing scene appeared: the infantry of the Song army not only resisted the cavalry of the Jin State, but also cut the Jin soldiers into bloody flesh and blood, and finally had to flee in embarrassment.

What's going on, in the case of numerical superiority, the cavalry is actually inferior to the infantry?

Wanyan Wushu almost blinded his eyes before confirming this fact.

How could the world-class Jin cavalry be defeated at the hands of the weak Song infantry? Regarding this issue, Jin Guo held a number of seminars afterwards and finally found out the truth of the matter.

First, the roads were full of stones of all shapes, sizes, and uneven, and the cavalry advanced very slowly, not even as fast as the infantry. Without speed, you naturally lose your advantage.

Second, the weapons used by the Song army this time were very peculiar and posed a huge threat to the Jin soldiers. This kind of weapon was called the horse sword before the Tang Dynasty, and it was called the Mo knife after the Tang Dynasty.

For the Mo knife, there is such a record in the "Tang Liudian" that there are four systems of knives. One is called the instrument knife, the second is the barrier knife, the third is the horizontal knife, and the fourth is the Mo knife.

The Mo knife is one zhang long, two blades, one knife down, and everyone is broken!

In fact, there is another reason why Jin Guo has not found out, or is unwilling to find out.

The reason for this is that the Northwest Army's individual combat capability is not weaker than that of the Jurchens at all, and even has a slight advantage.

What is the Northwest?

This land in the northwest of the Song Dynasty had another name during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period - Qin State.

The reason why the Qin State was able to destroy the Six Kingdoms was of course due to many reasons, such as the changes of Shang Ying, and so on; However, the strong soldiers of the Qin State were certainly a factor in this

It was dark, and Wanyan Wushu's heart was also cold, so he had to order the troops to be collected and returned to the camp.

The day's offensive ended in a crushing defeat for the Kim army

If you can't make a plan, you will have another plan.

In response to the failure on the first day, Wanyan Wushu used another trick on the second day: this time the Jin soldiers stopped riding. switch to infantry; And. In order to defend against the Song army's divine arm bow and arrow. Wanyan Wushu also deliberately asked the golden soldiers to wear two layers of heavy armor to ensure safety.

What is the concept of two layers of heavy armor?

According to the Song Dynasty's "General Essentials of the Wujing", the weight of the full set of armor of the Song Dynasty pikemen was set at thirty-two to thirty-five kilograms, while the armor of the Jin State was heavier than that of the Song Dynasty, so the weight of the two sets of armor of the Jin soldiers would be more than seventy kilograms; Combined with the long and short weapons, etc., the weight of each golden soldier is more than 80 kilograms.

This is a complete face vulture, ruthless enough!!

Therefore, although the golden soldiers walked very slowly. The formation of the teams was also very neat. However, when the rain of arrows of the Song army fell on the Jin soldiers, it had little effect.

Even the Divine Arm Bow has failed!

As a result, the Jin soldiers slowly approached the fortifications of the Song army, with firm steps and high spirits.

At this time, Wan Yan Sali, who had been stationed in the command center for a long time, turned around and returned to the camp, and reported to Wan Yan Wushu very happily: "I have it!" ”

It can only be said that the winning declaration was made too early. The Jin soldiers launched numerous attacks on the Song army's fortifications, throwing down a large number of corpses in front of the fortifications. Still no gains.

This was the fairest battle since the war between the Jin and Song dynasties, and the soldiers of both sides were all standing on the ground. You stab me, I'll slash you, each with its own skills.

This battle was extremely important to both the Jin and Song dynasties, and there was no room for failure. Therefore, the battle lasted for three full days, and there was no truce.

Both sides are already red-eyed. The drums of the Song army, the horns of the golden soldiers, the clashing of swords and guns, the shouts and screams of the soldiers, and so on, all play together into a large-scale symphony of fate.

I suddenly remembered a song from WEN Ge

The east wind blows, the drums of war beat,

Who is afraid of whom in the world now?

It is not that the people are afraid of US imperialism, but that US imperialism is afraid of the people.

There is much help for the righteous and little help for the unjust, and the laws of history are irresistible! Irresistible!

For three whole days, 100,000 Jin soldiers were actually blocked by the Song soldiers in front of the fortifications, and they were not allowed to advance an inch.

One of the reasons was that after the fact, Wanyan Wushu explained to the gold lord Wu Qimai: The burden of the Jin soldiers was too large, and in the midst of the stalemate, it was the Song army with a small number that took advantage.

In fact, Wanyan Wushu didn't know that the Song army at this time had also reached their limit.

In the face of the frenzied attack of the Jin army day and night, some of Wu Luan's subordinates wavered, and they suggested retreating.

The reason is that, after all, this is a temporary fortification, and it is not as strong and dangerous as Xianren Pass; Fighting here, the mortality rate of personnel is too high, too high to accept.

It has to be said that the reasons put forward by these subordinates for retreating are quite sufficient.

In response to these reasonable demands, Wu Lan's reply was very decisive.

He first drew his knife, then drew a line on the ground, and said, "Death is death, and whoever crosses this line will be killed!" ”

For his subordinates, Wu Lan did not blindly suppress; The most excellent commander, Wu Lan certainly knows the truth of a big stick in one hand and a radish in the other.

Now that the stick has been used, the carrot will naturally be taken out as well.

Therefore, Wu Luan's subordinates said that the Jin soldiers were the attacking side, and the weight on the Jin soldiers was obviously much heavier than ours, so as long as they held out for another day, the Jin army would definitely retreat.

A subordinate immediately asked, what if he held out for another day and the golden soldiers did not retreat?

Wu Xuan pointed to the sky and replied very seriously: "I swear!" ”

Although Wu Lan only said three words, although Wu Lan did not elaborate on what he swore to do, his subordinates believed it, turned around and went out, and continued to fight

On the fifth day of the battle of Xianren Pass, as Wu Xuan predicted to his subordinates. On this day, the ferocity of the Jin army's offensive was unprecedented, and Wan Yan Sali came to the battlefield in person and designated a breakthrough.

After finishing Yan Wushu, I learned afterwards that the Song army called this temporary fortification the second pass of the Xianren Pass, and the breakthrough designated by Sa Liyu was a corner tower in the northwest corner of the second pass.

This time, Jin Bing was ruthless and used all the strength to eat.

The result of the ruthlessness was that in less than a stick of incense, they actually knocked this corner tower crooked.

Wow, I've finally opened a gap in this big hedgehog. Oops, it's not easy.

Just when Jin Bing was in tears and cheering, a strange scene appeared: a long rope made of cloth was thrown out and straightened the building.

Isn't it, that's fine? (To be continued......)
