Chapter 181: All Annihilated
Sleepless night!
Zhao Pu couldn't sleep. The battle was considered a victory, 5,000 Jin cavalry attacked, more than 3,000 were destroyed, and the remaining 2,000 fled in panic. Either way, it's a big win.
However, the full stop was not consummated, and the cavalry battalion went to pursue the remnants of the Jin army, and has not yet returned, but scattered news shows that there were several fierce battles, and both sides had losses, and the cavalry battalion had a slight upper hand.
The cavalry battalion continued to pursue, non-stop, while the Jin army ran and fought fiercely.
The battle continued, and both sides did not stop, one to escape for their lives, and the other to annihilate everything.
The battle continued, and Zhao Pu could sleep well.
At this moment, how much Zhao Pu wanted to turn into a hulk and go to fight, but it was a pity that he had no power to restrain the chicken, he could ride a horse, and he commanded the cavalry to fight, which was completely blind; Riding a horse to rush forward to kill, it is even more cannon fodder, so I can only wait anxiously.
"Yue'er, don't let anything happen to you!" Zhao Pu said secretly in his heart and prayed silently. He already regarded Wang Wuyue as his wife in his heart, and now his wife led the army to the expedition and never returned, he was anxious, uneasy, and a little panicked, afraid of an accident. But he didn't regret it, and he didn't regret sending Wang Wuyue on the expedition.
Because there is no choice in everything, and no one but her is up to the task.
This night, the guards outside the tent, watching His Majesty walk back and forth, waited restlessly. It wasn't until the second half of the night that I lay on the soft couch and closed my eyes briefly.
………………
The moonlight is exceptionally bright tonight.
In the moonlight, after finishing Yan Ye's panicked runaway, only the Jin army with less than 100 horsemen was left around him. This was the most embarrassing battle of his life, and if the previous defeat can be attributed to the cunning of the Song army, which plunged him into a conspiracy. Now, when encountering the cavalry battalion of the Song army, they are panicking.
Although he was defeated, there were still 2,000 elite horsemen left, and if he wanted to leave, no one would be able to stop him.
But not long after he ran away, there was a rumbling sound of war horses behind him, and sharp arrows attacked like raindrops, and in an instant, more than a dozen Jurchen warriors fell off their horses. And in cavalry warfare, falling off a horse is also equivalent to death.
When he looked back, he saw four thousand cavalry in the shape of an awl and swooping out.
He was happy then!
The world knows that the Song army had no cavalry, only a horse army. The Ma army was just a group of local chickens and dogs, and in the battle, the cavalry of the Jin army completely defeated the horse army of the Song army. Don't look at the fact that there are only 4,000 people, but Wan Yanye doesn't care at all, turns the horse's head, and directs the remnants of the 2,000 elite cavalry to charge.
In that battle, the Jin army had 2,000 elite cavalry and 4,000 soldiers from the Song army's cavalry battalion.
The first is a round of archery, the Song soldiers shoot arrows, and the Jin army also shoots arrows, and the two sides shoot at each other. This was the first round of confrontation, the Song army was very poor in cavalry and archery, and the Jin army was very good in cavalry and shooting, and in the dense rain of arrows, the Song army suffered a big loss.
After a round of cavalry shooting, the cavalry of both sides charged each other, constantly attacking and slashing at the opponent.
The weapons of the Jin army are relatively mixed, some are holding maces, some are long knives, or heavy axes, or spears, etc., often what weapons are used easily, and there are all kinds of weapons. And the cavalry of the Song army are all unified sabers and spears.
In the mutual impact, the cavalry of the Song army, first holding the spear in his left hand, accompanied by the impact force of the horse, flattened the spear, and pointed directly at the chest of the Jin cavalry. Relying on the length of the spear, ahead of the enemy, attacking, relying on the inertia of the horse's impact, stabbing the enemy.
At the moment when the spear was pierced, the huge force of the shock, the spearhead covered by the cork, also fell off, the spearhead fell to the ground, and with the wooden pole thrown to the ground, and then the long knife was clenched with both hands and slashed down.
One spear and one knife are the two hands of the cavalry of the eight-character army against the cavalry.
And the weapons of the Jin army are not uniform, and at this moment it shows huge drawbacks. Those cavalry of the Jin Army with long weapons are still easy to say; And those who hold short heavy weapons, such as heavy axes, maces, etc., suffer from short weapons, and are pierced by spearheads, most of which are a blood hole, even if some wear chain mail and block the assassination of spearheads, they are also shaken by the huge impact force, shaking their chests and abdomen.
Then, there is a one-meter-five long knife, clenched with both hands, and continuous slashing, the armor cannot protect it at all, and it often shatters with a single stroke.
In this round of confrontation, the Song army had a slight upper hand.
Both sides turned their horses around and continued to charge until the last side could no longer hold on.
No one in the eight-character army retreated, as the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, Yulu is generous, and the weapons are also generous, but the military discipline is also the strictest, as long as there is one person fleeing for his life on the battlefield, the whole team will be killed; As long as one squad leader escapes for his life, the squadron leader is also beheaded. On the battlefield, there is no way back, only to rush forward and kill, or the enemy falls, or you fall, or you defeat the enemy, or you are killed by the enemy.
The military discipline of the Jin army is also extremely strict, and if you die on the battlefield, your family may be treated favorably; If you run for your life on the battlefield, your family will suffer.
Three or four times in a row, the Jin army was killed countless times, and the Song army suffered many casualties, and the battle had become a war of attrition at this moment, and it had become a collision of fighting wills.
………………
During the battle, Wan Yanye was terrified.
The Song army's combat method was to line up in a dense and neat linear array, like a moving mountain forest, to carry out a white-knuckle charge, after each line of columns to impact the enemy, not like the Jin cavalry, into a scattered individual melee, but forcibly against the enemy's shot or slash, quickly withdraw, re-formation, repeatedly lined up in a neat formation to charge.
This kind of collective impact method that always relies on uniform strength and close coordination has maximized the strength of the collective.
No matter how ever-changing you are, I am his Xu Rulin!
"Withdraw!" Wan Yan Ye could no longer suppress the fear in his heart and began to retreat. At this time, they had to retreat, and in the continuous rush and killing, the Jin army was only a little more than a thousand left, and the Song army still had more than 3,000.
The cavalry of the Jin army began to run away, while the cavalry of the Song army was chasing and killing in the back, chasing for a day and a night, not caring about tiredness, so that there was no place to rest, until finally scattered and fled, and now only a hundred horsemen were left around.
"What a powerful Song Jun!"
The battle brought down this part, Wan Yanye's heart was full of fear, what he was afraid of was not this defeat, what he was afraid of was not the lethality of gunpowder, but the will of the Song army to fight to the death.
"The population of the Song Kingdom is a hundred times that of my Jurchen, if everyone is so fierce, how can my Jurchen step on the Yellow River!"
"It's not good, general, Song Bing is here again!"
Wan Yanye was like a frightened bird, and he rode his horse again in a panic, and the soldiers around him also rode on their war horses, wanting to seize the road and escape.
It's just that at this moment, an arrow came, Wan Yanye hurriedly dodged away, and the arrow body passed by and shot at the Jin Army soldier on the side, and the soldier was immediately shot to death. Two more arrows followed, and with a single pick of the spear in his hand, he knocked down one arrow, and held one in his left hand. At the moment of holding the arrow, the huge impact force immediately made the arm numb, and immediately felt the horror of this arrow, this is a special armor-piercing arrow, the arrow is a triangular pyramid, and the arrow officer is made of fine iron, heavy and sharp.
"Threesomes, shoot me!" At this moment, a coquettish shout came, and a dense rain of arrows came.
The Song army's cavalry archery was too poor, and in order to improve the accuracy of shooting, only three people could aim at one golden soldier to shoot.
After a round of arrow rain, more than a dozen golden soldiers fell.
Wan Yan Ye was frightened, he didn't care about the other Jin soldiers, and ran on his horse, but he didn't run a few steps, and the war horse was weak, fell to the ground, and died.
Running continuously, without a trace of stopping, even the war horse couldn't stand it, and finally died of exhaustion, and this was the third tired war horse. At this time, if you want to exchange for a war horse, it is no longer possible to continue running.
The cavalry of the Song army came over, slashing and slashing, and the cavalry of the Jin army fought for a day in a row, and ran away for a day and a night.
In the huge battlefield, only Wan Yanye is left at this moment.
