Chapter 86 Mandarin Duck Array VS Jin Army Heavy Armored Infantry

In just three breaths, the two armies collided violently.

The Mandarin Duck Array, once shed a great reputation in history, the strength of lethality, the advantage of the weak to resist the strong, even in the era of the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression in later generations, can still see a trace of shadow. If it is said that when the first battle was in Yehuling, the mandarin duck array at that time was still a little immature, and the soldiers still lacked tacit understanding between battles, and they still lacked courage. But at this moment, there is an invincible murderous aura, and the Song soldiers who are in front of the impact are all firmly convinced that I am invincible, and I will win with me.

At this moment, the twelve-person Mandarin Duck Formation team, like countless darts, densely impacted the formation of the Jin Army.

Because the time was so short, it was difficult for even the generals of the Jin Army to effectively announce orders. In just three breaths, it is simply difficult to organize an effective formation. The soldiers on both sides fought together, you only have me, I have you, like a country in chaos.

By virtue of the surprise, the soldiers of the second battalion led by Wang Daniu realized the most advantageous formation of the Mandarin Duck Formation - melee and close combat.

In fact, in the long history of mankind, many formations have been born, and compared with those excellent formations, the Mandarin Duck Formation is not invincible. Only in some special circumstances and special terrain can the Mandarin Duck Array be invincible.

Once engaged in a battle on the plains, the Iron Cavalry can use its powerful explosive power, impact power, and long-range strikes with bows and arrows to deliver a devastating blow to the Mandarin Duck Array; Once the infantry is placed in an infantry formation, the pikemen, the battlefield, the long knife hands, the crossbowmen, etc. work closely together, and the mandarin duck formation can only hold on, unable to quickly destroy the enemy.

The mandarin duck formation is invincible, it is adapted to the mountains and hills, or the terrain is not open, where the cavalry is not able to impact back and forth and wander; The infantry could not set up a powerful formation, while the Mandarin Duck Formation calmly solved the enemy by relying on the tactics of gathering and scattering, attacking in small groups, and cooperating with large teams.

And the Mandarin Duck Formation, the best fighting occasion is hand-to-hand combat in close quarters. Once the distance is opened, the bow and arrow snipe, the spear blocks, and prevents the Mandarin Duck Formation from approaching, and once the Mandarin Duck Formation is separated by a certain distance, the power is greatly reduced.

At this moment, a group of mandarin duck soldiers formed Song soldiers, aiming at the Jin army, resisting with long weapons, assassinating, sweeping, and assaulting with short weapons. After losing more than a dozen people, the Jin soldiers quickly changed their formations, some in groups of three, some in groups of four, and some in groups of five, leaning back to back, wearing heavy armor, and waving the Mo knife in their hands.

The Mo Dao, a weapon that had disappeared in the Central Plains Dynasty, reappeared in the hands of the Jurchens and burst out with powerful combat power.

The Mo knife was a weapon of heavy infantry in the Tang Dynasty. The formation formed by the Modao team is the pinnacle of heavy infantry, and it is the most classic combat method of using heavy infantry to resist cavalry. It's just that after the Song Dynasty, the Mo knife team disappeared, and there were many reasons, the most important of which was that the Mo knife building process was too expensive and not cost-effective, so it was better to build a strong crossbow, spear, chariot, etc. to save money.

Spending the same money and building the same Modao team is better than spending money on other things, which is the idea of the Song Dynasty.

The Jurchen people are different, the Jurchen people do not have this weak Song Dynasty at all, but they are extremely yearning for and admiring the strong Tang Dynasty. When the Liao State was destroyed, the Jurchens also harvested a large number of craftsmen from the Liao State, who could spend a lot of money to create high-quality, lethal weapons.

The Wanyan Lou Room attaches great importance to the Mo Dao, and pays a lot of money to build the Mo Dao, imitating the Tang Dynasty system, forming the Mo Dao team, and making great achievements in some infantry battles.

The Jurchen warriors were wrapped in a group, in a group of three, or a group of five, like a humanoid steel giant beast constantly attacking left and right, under the protection of heavy armor, the Jurchen warriors did not need to block at all, the spear of the mandarin duck array was pierced on it, and it was immediately slid away, which was difficult to pierce at all, and the sword and the sword were pierced on it, and it was difficult to hurt the slightest.

And the Mo knife in the hands of the Jurchen warriors, clenched with both hands, waved it, and made a burst of tearing sounds, one layer of battle armor would definitely be cut apart, and two layers of battle armor could be prevented. However, even if it is prevented, the huge vibration force of the Mo knife is enough to make the soldiers of the Song Army bring great pain, and if they peel off their armor at this time, a huge bruise will occur on their body, or a huge blood mark.

What is even more difficult is that at this moment, the disadvantages of the Song army's weapons are revealed. You get what you pay for, Modao is expensive to build, and it burns too much, but the quality is also first-class. And the spears, spears, etc., of the Song army, the spear heads, the spear heads were made of iron, but the gun shafts were made of wood; Other swords, etc., are not as good as Mo knives in quality.

The spears of the Song army, spears, boring handles, wolf swords, shields, etc., were often cut in half or eliminated once they collided with the Jin army's Mo knife.

At this moment, the Modao team showed strong lethality, and even showed the side of restraining the mandarin duck array.

One by one, the mandarin duck array was broken, and one by one the soldiers of the Song Army were killed by Modao. The two sides, which were originally evenly matched, showed a trace of decline in the Song army. However, human nature is very wonderful, if it were in normal times, the Song army would have been defeated, but these days, Zhao Pu has been constantly brainwashing, constantly instilling the idea of expelling the Tartars and restoring China, and constantly instilling the idea of hating the Jin army, which has shown a trace of effect at this moment, and no one has taken the lead in escaping.

The soldiers of the Song Army, who killed the red-eyed soldiers, constantly changed their tactics, had no teacher, and everything was in accordance with the instinct of survival. Two teams of mandarin duck formations, or three teams of mandarin duck formations gathered together, the huge wolf swipe, as long as the Jin army soldiers were defeated, the heavy armor would make it extremely difficult for the Jurchen soldiers to stand up.

There are many Jurchen warriors, often falling down, unable to stand up again, either being hit in the face by a huge wolf, shattering the bridge of the nose, disfigured face, or stabbing with knives and guns, along the gaps in the nail leaf, constantly bypassing the nail leaf inside, and stabbing on the flesh.

And the shields of some Song soldiers, after the weapons were cut off, the first reaction was not to flee, but to still charge forward, and the broken weapons in their hands continued to stab forward, fighting for their lives.

And the biggest threat to the Jin Army's heavy infantry is still the wolf, an inch long, an inch of gun, as long as the enemy does not approach in the battle, the long weapon has a huge lethality. The Mo knife is very fast, and it is easy to cut off a part of the wolf, but after cutting it, the wolf is still very long, and the threat still exists.

The wolf is made of bamboo, and it can only be broken unless it is split in the middle. Generally, after being cut off by a Mo knife, the incision is still extremely sharp, and if you hit the throat, you will die, and if you hit other parts of the body, you may fall to the ground.

And at this moment, falling to the ground often represents death.

The advantage of the heavy infantry of the Jin Army is that the heavy armor is well protected, and the Mo knife is indestructible;

The advantage of the Song army's mandarin duck array is that the wolf is longer and there are more weapons.

And the shortcomings are also obvious, the heavy infantry of the Jin Army, the equipment on their bodies is too heavy, and it is too laborious to move, often standing still, or taking small steps forward to slash the enemy; If you don't fight for a long time, your strength will be easily exhausted, and when your strength is exhausted, it will be the time when the whole army will be annihilated.

The shortcomings of the Song Army's Mandarin Duck Formation are also obvious, the quality of the weapons is too poor, and it is not resistant to cutting; In addition, unless it is a vital point, it is difficult to injure the heavy infantry of the Jin Army with heavy armor.

The two armies clashed violently together, and there was life withering at every moment, this was a collision of blood and iron, the Song army had advantages and disadvantages, and the Jin army had advantages and disadvantages, and the mystery of victory lies in which side can infinitely expand the advantage and shrink the disadvantage.

At this moment of fighting, it is already red-eyed, and both sides are fighting to the death, this is not only a competition of tactics, physical strength, and endurance, but also a duel of fighting will.

…………

And at the moment when the elite soldiers of the two armies were fighting, a series of huge trees fell, and at the moment when the trees fell, three Jin soldiers were also stoned to death.

The trunks of three huge trees divide the Jin army into two, with the Jin heavy cavalry (or Jin heavy infantry) in the rear on one side; On one side is the shield hand of the Jin Army, the school knife hand. On one side is the elite of the Jin Army, and on the other side is the general troops of the Jin Army. and the elite of the 1,500 Song army went to annihilate the heavy armored troops of the Jin army; The 500 Song troops on one side were the school swordsmen and shield bearers who assisted in sniping the Jin army.

The Song army's mandarin duck array and the Jin army's heavy infantry were hand-to-hand combat, constantly fighting, and the collision of blood and iron, both sides suffered heavy losses.

However, at this time, the Song army won a lot of victories, and the Song army was distributed in the grass on both sides, and as the battle began, trebuchets were exposed in the grass, but the trebuchets at this moment did not throw stones, but bundles of burning wood. What is even more insidious is that the places where this part of the Jin army passes through are densely covered with dry wood and sulfur, and they are almost burned in case of fire.

As the dry wood was thrown out one by one, the flames burned violently, and a thousand shield holders and two thousand school knife hands suddenly fell into the sea of fire, like roast ducks being leaned on, and in a moment they became burning people. They tried to escape, but they were greeted with crossbow arrows and spears.

It's hardly a fight, it's more like a killing.

A thousand golden troops were burned to death in the sea of fire, their struggle, their resistance was so powerless.

And the huge flame illuminated the ancient mountains, and it was even more visible to the Wanyan Lou Room in the distance.

"Oh no!" Wan Yan Lou Room's eyes flashed with intense worry, but he was still tricked, and the fire seemed to be burning wrong.

However, at the moment, he didn't care about any of this. The burning flames had already shown that the four thousand gold troops sent out had clashed violently with the Song army. As long as his brigade presses up, he can easily destroy this enemy. In the face of absolute strength, all intrigues and tricks are useless.
