At this moment of fighting, sparks were sparked.

What is this small injury, Wanyan withdrew without a trace of hesitation, seeing that the cavalry of the Song army was difficult to defeat for a while, he commanded the cavalry to attack the infantry of the Song army and defeated the infantry of the Song army, can the cavalry last?

The war horses galloped rapidly, charging towards the Song army's infantry, like a torrent.

"Change formation!"

At this time, a small mandarin duck array, rapid change into a large mandarin duck array, one by one shields set up on the ground, forming a barricade, under the shield hidden short knife hands, and behind are spearmen, and then behind are Song soldiers holding wolf swords, in the back are boring handles, Mo knives and other weapons, and finally there are crossbowmen, on both sides there are small mandarin duck array guards.

This method of arranging the formation, focusing on sorties, attacking first, using the barricades formed by the shield to reduce the horsepower; Then he stabbed the horse with a pikeman, reducing the horsepower again; When encountering the wolf hand, the horsepower of the war horse is greatly reduced, at this time the wolf hand has to do is to sweep the cavalry, knock the cavalry off the horse, and the boring handle behind him, the Mo knife hand will rush up.

At this time, the archers fired a follow-up attack, relying on dense bows and arrows, shooting the cavalry that came to the rescue, sniping the rescued soldiers, and reducing the pressure on the battlers in front.

If the battle is won, the small mandarin duck formations on both sides will attack, encircle from both wings, and completely annihilate the enemy army.

This is an offensive-based infantry formation, mainly for attacking, contrary to the traditional formation, with the archers in the front and the archers in the rear. This reduces the firepower of ranged attacks, but it also maximizes the essence of attack.

Once the Jin cavalry was about to run away, the infantry could quickly go after the enemy.

Theoretically, a two-legged one can't run a four-legged one. However, under the containment of the cavalry of the Song army, the cavalry of the Jin army was not much faster, as long as the tactics were correct and the battle was not calculated, there was still a chance of victory.

"Kill!" The Jin army rushed in.

"Defend the family and the country!" The eight-character army roared, and the two sides collided together.

The fight continues, one shield after another, one by one the pikemen are knocked down, the impact of the Jin Army's war horse is really not blown, plus the armor on the war horse, as long as it does not stab the vital point, it is really difficult to die. However, in any case, the barricades formed by the shields and the pikemen finally slowed down the advance of the Jin cavalry.

Under the impact of full speed, the cavalry of the Jin army was almost invincible, but after the speed slowed down, the threat of the cavalry of the Jin army also slowed down, at this time the wolf of the eight-character army attacked, and the huge wolf horse was drawn to the knight on the horse, some were pulled off the war horse, and some cut off the wolf fire, but soon the wolf fire that was cut off turned into a spear to assassinate.

The assassination of the wolf's huge force often knocked the Jin cavalry who rushed forward off their horses.

The battle was raging, and the fierce battle was raging.

Wherever the cavalry of the Jin Army went, they relied on the war horses to step violently, and the condescending attacks often brought huge casualties to the soldiers of the Bazi Army, and the soldiers of the Bazi Army relied on their flesh and blood to fight and kill the cavalry of the Jin Army. The short knife hand behind the shield cut the horse's leg near and pierced the horse's belly, and the spearman aimed at the Jin cavalry was assassination, and the wolf hand kept whipping the cavalry.

In the fierce battle, the Jin cavalry found that they underestimated the enemy, and these Song cavalry were not weak; And the soldiers of the Bazi Army also felt that they looked down on the Jin Army, and the Jin Army was not invincible.

The cavalry of the Jin Army rushed back and forth, in a group of three horses, like a steamroller, constantly rolling and pressing, trying to crush the will to fight of the Bazi Army, so as to completely annihilate it; The eight-character army is to constantly divide and surround and eat the cavalry of the Jin army one by one. The cavalry of the Jin army wanted a quick victory, but it turned into a war of attrition.

At this time, the cavalry of the Song army in the distance killed the rear of the cavalry of the Jin army.

The Jin army had no choice but to divide into two groups, one to eliminate the cavalry of the Bazi Army and the other to eliminate the infantry of the Bazi Army.

At this time, the night gradually darkened, Zhao Pu looked at the night, his eyes flashed with excitement, "The night is finally dark, the time for battle has come!" After two years of military training, from Hedong to Hebei and Henan, and now to the Huaihe River, continuous military training, it is finally time to harvest! ”

…………

The fierce battle continued, and the Bazi Army suffered heavy losses, as did the cavalry of the Jin Army.

At this moment, the sun has set, and at this moment, it can only recede, and the night is not conducive to cavalry combat. The horn sounded, and the whining continued, and the Jin cavalry began to break away from the battle formation and retreat quickly. At this time, the infantry of the Bazi Army slowly gathered their formations and checked the casualties.

Soon the sky was completely dark, and it was pitch black and there were no fingers to be seen.

After a day of fierce fighting, both sides began to rest, the dead were dead, and those who were alive still had to continue to live.

After the battle, the cavalry of the Jin army began to rest after eating and feeding the horses. Only Wanyan evacuated and couldn't sleep, and after the battle, the casualties were counted, and the Jin army that participated in the battle had 6,000 cavalry, and 1,000 cavalry were responsible for guarding the camp. He was also surprised by the strength of the Song army's combat effectiveness, with more than 2,500 killed, 500 seriously wounded, and 400 lightly wounded.

After a fierce battle on this day, the number of Jin army casualties reached as many as 3,000, and nearly half of the army lost its combat effectiveness.

There was still a feeling of disbelief after the evacuation and the constant recollection of the day's battle.

This Song army actually made him suffer such a big loss!?

Sun Tzu said in the Art of War: "Ten will surround it, five will attack it, and if it is doubled, it will be divided, and the enemy will be able to fight, and if it is few, it can be escaped, and if it is not, it can be avoided." Therefore, the small enemy is strong, and the big enemy is also captured. This means that if you have ten times as many troops, you will encircle the enemy, if you have five times as many troops, if you have twice as many troops, you will divide and destroy the enemy, if you have equal forces, you will have to resist them, if you have less than the enemy, you should avoid direct contact with them, and if you have fewer troops, you must retreat far away. Therefore, if a weak army is stubborn and stubborn, it will become a prisoner of a strong enemy army.

But this statement does not match, the battle of Song Jin.

During the first battle of Song and Jin, Wanyan Zongwang led an army of 80,000 soldiers to Bianliang and besieged Bianliang, while the defenders of Bianliang were 300,000, and the number of defenders was more than four times that of the attacking side, and Bianliang was almost broken; The second time the Jin army of the two roads was encircled, there were only fifteen people, and the Bianliang defenders also had 200,000 people, more than the Jin army, and in the end the Song Dynasty still lost.

The Jin army has always been short of troops, whether it is a siege or a field battle, in many cases, it is to attack more with less.

In the years of conquest, Wanyan evacuated and defeated the Song army camp of 10,000 with 1,000 cavalry; once led a 5,000-gold army to attack a large city in Henan, and the soldiers in the city were defeated without a fight; There was also a strong attack on a city in Shandong, with only 5,000 gold soldiers, but after only half an hour, the Song army was defeated.

Fighting in the Song realm, when attacking the city, as long as it hits the city wall, the Song army will be defeated; When attacking the camp, as long as one camp was breached, the Song army was defeated.

As for taking the initiative, Song Jun has never had the courage to do so.

In this battle, the Jin army was 6,000 people, and the Song army was 15,000 people, and the ratio of troops was just one to two, and the previous battles of one to three, one to four, and one to five were also fought, and finally they were victorious. Only this time, it turned out to be a failure.

"The army that went south was only 150,000, and in the Song realm, there were 400,000 forbidden troops, 200,000 western troops, and 400,000 box troops, known as millions of people, but they were defeated by our army one after another. Everywhere our army went, everything was broken and everything was overcome, but this time in Yangzhou, it suffered such a setback! "This Song army's combat effectiveness is not simple!" Wanyan evacuated and his mood was a little dull, "If all the Song troops are so strong, will my Jurchen army still have a way to live?" ”

Su Yi said: "Impossible. The Song army is already rotten to the roots, otherwise how can our dynasty win again and again, there is only this one left in the strong army, as long as the eight-character army perishes, there will be no more fighting army in the Song realm! ”
