Chapter 353: A Face

To be fair, Han Chang's doubts about the cavalry corps in front of him were justified.

The former Great Liao, Western Xia and other foreign tribes imposed sanctions on the horse trade of the Song Dynasty were quite effective. As a result, the cavalry units of the Song army became fewer and fewer, and almost disappeared.

It's just that no one could have expected that the Yue family army would be able to raise the war with war, and stubbornly snatch the horses from the hands of Daqi and Jin Bing, and set up a powerful cavalry corps.

"There is no food, no clothing, and the enemy is sent forward; There are no guns, no cannons, the enemy has made us..."

Unexpectedly, hundreds of years later, the tactics used by the Eighth Route Army in "Song of the Guerrillas" actually appeared on the Yuejia Army of the Southern Song Dynasty in advance, which makes people can't help but be amazed

Zhang Xian ignored Han Chang's shouting in front of the battle, rode his horse and jumped a few steps, turned around and shouted to Yue Jiajun's brothers: "The gang of dog thieves in front actually doesn't smell of garlic, and they are not Jurchens at all. ”

Although Zhang Xian is handsome, he is the same as Niu Gao, he has a loud voice, and he secretly used the kung fu of the lion's roar in Buddhism, and the sound is rolling, and it clearly reaches the ears of more than 10,000 cavalrymen of the Yue family.

"The Jurchens dare to look down on our Yue family army, they didn't come themselves, they actually sent Liu Yu's remnants over, you say that you are angry or not!"

This sentence immediately raised the morale of the Yue family's army.

"Infuriating!" The knights replied loudly.

"Those traitors in front of them, instead of killing the golden dog, instead aimed their big knives at their compatriots, should they be killed!"

Zhang Xian's words aroused the anger of the soldiers of the Yue family army even more.

In a sense. The people of the Southern Song Dynasty. It also includes all the officers and soldiers of the Yuejia Army. The hatred of those traitors who served the Jin State was even greater than that of the Jurchens.

"Kill, kill, kill!"

These three sentences of "should be killed" are the answers of the cavalry of the Yue family army to Zhang Xian's question.

"Very good! In that case, everyone obeyed my orders, rushed forward together, and killed them without leaving a piece of armor behind. After Zhang Xian finished speaking, Mu Ran turned around, raised the big gun with one hand, and stabbed the sky.

Song Dynasty standard marksmanship: "Raise fire to burn the sky"

A few simple words. aroused the long-standing anger of the soldiers of the Yue family's army.

The entire 10,000-strong cavalry regiment was suddenly silent, and every soldier was gathering strength and stretching his muscles; Crackling and scattering, it was like there were countless cauldrons of fried beans together.

A large cloud drifted silently, gently blocking the sun in mid-air, lest the bloody picture that was about to appear stain the sun's bright smile.

Yue Jiajun's various performances fell into Han Chang's eyes without omission.

If these movements of stretching tendons and pulling bones and storing strength appeared on the body of a certain general, Han Chang would definitely not feel any surprise. Which military general doesn't know how to carry qi and blood?

But the problem now is that everyone in the Yue family army in front of them seems to have such ability, could it be that each of them can reach the level of a general?

Come to think of it. The third person in the Kim military suddenly shuddered.

Goosebumps are all coming out.

"Knock knock knock..."The first drum sounded from the Song army on the opposite side.

"Phew, as soon as you come up, you play with the cold. There's no technical content, it's really barbaric. ”

Han Chang secretly cursed, but only raised the Xuanhua axe in his hand. In the blink of an eye, the traditional Jurchen horn sounded whining.

The gripping sound of drums and trumpets mingled as both sides began preparations for the charge

Since the start of the war between Jin and Song, the first cavalry battle between the two sides is about to begin.

This battle set many new records.

Record 1: This is the first fair battle between the two sides on the plains, not the usual battle of merit and defense in the past.

Record 2: For the first time, the two sides were equal in numbers, instead of the previous Song army relying on more people and the Jin army relying on mobility.

Record 3: For the first time, the two sides were similar in terms of troops, and everyone was a cavalry duel, instead of the previous Jin State using cavalry to bully the infantry of the Song Dynasty

And so on and so forth.

Normally, an arrow is about one hundred and thirty paces or so; However, the strong bow of the Yue family army was extraordinary, and when the confrontation was positioned just now, an arrow shot more than 300 steps, so that the two armies had plenty of space to hedge.

After the three-way war drums, Song and Jin launched the first round of attacks against each other together.

Hearing the hurried call of the cavalry, tens of thousands of war horses fought together and rushed forward; The horseshoe slammed into the ground, and the dust rolled up, forming two huge earth dragons.

In the blink of an eye, the distance between the two armies was less than a hundred paces.

Zhang Xian's eight-point steel spear appeared in mid-air again, drawing a large circle with the tip of the gun.

Immediately after, the soldier who was in the first row with Zhang Xian suddenly put his left index finger into his mouth, and a long and poignant whistle suddenly appeared.

With two clicks, the cavalry of the Yue family army raised their left hands at the same time, pointing diagonally into the air at a forty-five-degree angle, and a pair of crossbows were mounted on their arms.

"Shoot the arrows!"

With Zhang Xian's shout, a large rain of arrows suddenly appeared in the air and landed in the cavalry phalanx of the Jin soldiers without mistake.

Both sides were moving at high speeds, and these accelerations were attached to the bolts, making them far more powerful than they would be when firing from a standstill. ,

As a result, bursts of screams followed, and the Jin Bing's charging formation loosened somewhat.

As the leader of the Jin soldiers, Han Chang was simply mad by this behavior of the Yue family.

Is there any mistake, didn't you say that you can charge separately with your ability, and what kind of cold arrows are you put in, even if you win, what's the matter?

At this moment when Han Chang was muttering to himself, the distance between the two armies of Jin and Song was less than ten steps.

Han Changwei screamed, and the golden soldiers in the front row each raised their axes and maces, exerted all their strength, and smashed them on the head towards the oncoming Song army general.

This move is the favorite move of the golden soldiers: "Tarzan Pressing the Top"

According to the record of "Jin History", Han Changjing rode and shot and could hold a three-stone hard bow. Shoot into the iron. He is the only general among the Jin soldiers who can compare his strength with Yue Fei and Yue Yun's father and son.

This one smash. In addition to its own strength, there is also the power carried by the war horse when it sprints, which is by no means something that ordinary people can resist.

The two armies were about to make contact, and before Han Chang's Xuanhua big axe could fall, countless silver rays of light suddenly shot out from the Yue family's army, and five of them flew straight towards Han Chang's head and neck.

Flying knife, this is a willow leaf flying knife specially prepared by Yue Fei for his cavalry.

The hand crossbow plus the throwing knife is a necessary program for the daily training of the Yue family army. It has become a standing means of attack for the cavalry of the Yue family's army, or it can be said that it is part of their conditioned reflex.

The short distance, coupled with the lack of preparation, is not an easy thing to dodge.

Han Chang suddenly felt creepy, his cold hair stood on end, and his heart almost jumped to his throat.

It is worthy of being battle-hardened for a long time, Han Chang was in a hurry, and suddenly came to a "kick to hide", fell his whole body on the left side of the saddle, and turned the horse's head to the left.

It is said that it is good to charge in the game. Why a cold arrow suddenly. Suddenly, there is another flying knife, how can people play with you? You are so treacherous. I'm not playing, okay?

The above psychological activities are purely personal speculation, but it is a fact that Han Chang fled without a fight.

One face, just one face, the commander of the Jin soldiers actually fled without a fight

As the third person of Jin Bing, Han Chang's mount is of course a good horse that is selected by thousands of people, and the divine horse is incomparable; Moreover, Han Chang charged at the forefront, and there happened to be a small space for him to move and dodge, but even so, Han Chang still had many scars on his body.

In any case, Han Chang managed to escape from the battlefield and fled in the direction of Yingchang Mansion in Xuzhou. It's just that the rest of the Jin soldiers are miserable.

"A snake can't do without a head"

The commander fled from the battle, the Jin soldiers suddenly lost their backbone, and the soldiers of the Yue family army came with hatred, it was originally an equal number of people and a battle of equal strength, but in the blink of an eye, it became a massacre.

On the dark yellow earth, more and more stumps and severed arms, even heads, as well as various human bodies and war horse organs appeared; Streams of blood flowed on the ground, staining the color of the ground and emitting a choking smell.

Heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are used as dogs.

There were more and more dark clouds in the sky, and the sun was tightly covered. The scene was so bloody that even God didn't want to witness it

In this encounter, the front army of the Yuejia Army led by Zhang Xian did not consume too much energy, and it was barely a daily training exercise, because the Jin soldiers were a little unbelievably weak.

Next, what the Yue family army has to do is to chase after the tail, capture Han Chang, and conquer Yingchang City.

Han Chang returned to Yingchang City with his remnants of the defeated generals, and before he could rest enough, he didn't even have time to arrange the city defense system, and Zhang Xian had already led people to attack the city.

Obviously, this was another mistake by Han Chang, who had completely miscalculated the speed of the Yue family's army.

Generally speaking, after a victory, it is natural to let the soldiers rest for a while, clean up the battlefield by the way, and loot their belongings, which is the right way.

I didn't expect that the Yue family army would be desperate and catch up like this. Whether they rested or stopped to eat on the way is nothing recorded in history.

At this time, it was already late at night

On the battlefield, the most difficult thing to control is the morale of the troops, when the morale still exists, no matter how difficult the conditions are, they can still be supported; And once morale is lost, no matter how good the conditions are, it will never stop the coming of defeat.

Ying Chang City's defense once again proves this statement.

Judging from factors such as the height of the city wall, the depth of the city, and the number of equipment defending the city, this Yingchang City must be a military fortress that is easy to defend and difficult to attack; If compared to Shunchang City, which ended the battle not long ago, Yingchang City is not much stronger.

The conditions are so good, but Han Chang just can't hold it.

In one hour, in just one hour, the warriors of the Yue family army had already attacked this important town of Yingchang...... (To be continued......)
