Chapter 393: The Battle of Fuping (5) - Reinforcements are coming

After breaking through the first camp, the Song army temporarily halted the offensive and began to consolidate the front.

At this time, the Song army that broke through the first camp began to rest, and another Song army in the rear began to charge and attack the Jin army camp.

The battle was in full swing again, and it was another water-mill-like siege battle.

The second line of defense, much stronger than the first, finally broke through the second line of camp at night.

Two days later, the Song army broke through the third camp.

Three days later, the Song army again broke through the fourth camp;

Five days later, the Song army broke through the fifth camp.

Ten days later, eight camps had been breached.

And this kind of advancement has been very fast, far exceeding Zhang Jun's expectations.

At this time, the Song army had suffered more than 20,000 casualties, while the Jin army had lost only more than 8,000.

If this rate of advancement is followed, the entire Jin army camp may be captured in a month. This also once again shows the shortcomings of the Jin Army's insufficient defense, the Jin Army's iron cavalry is strong, but the defense is really not good.

It was only when the tenth camp was broken that the Jin army began to counterattack, and the cavalry was dispatched, sweeping like a flood.

Caught off guard, the attacking Song army was hit by the iron cavalry, and there was no need to swing a knife to slash and kill, just galloping on the horse, which was to trample countless times.

Immediately, the Song army collapsed!

Scattered and fled, the formation was chaotic, and was defeated by the Jin army.

It was also thanks to the desperate resistance of some generals who led their headquarters to resist desperately that the force of the impact was slowed down and the rout was slowed down, and the price was the captured ten camps. Lost again. was beaten back to its original form, and after half a month of bloody fighting, all the results were gone.

And learned. After the news, Zhang Jun slapped the table, furious, and his eyes were bloodshot.

He was about to gather a large army to attack the Jin army camp again, but when he inspected the camp, he found that his morale was not good. After a month of continuous offensives, the casualties reached more than 30,000 people. And in the end, there was a failure, which made the officers and men of the whole army depressed and demoralized.

The Northwest Army is very strong. When it is only strong, there is still a long way to go from a strong army.

In later generations, the People's Liberation Army and the Japanese army were able to achieve five or six layers of casualties, and even fierce battles until the entire army was annihilated. It was very common in the strong armies of later generations. But the Northwest Army at this moment. Rushing and killing is more by the courage of flesh and blood. Relying on material incentives, there is the power to fight, and if the casualties reach 30%, or even just two, it may collapse.

These days, in order to conquer the Jin army camp, the elite of the 200,000 Northwest Army took turns to fight, fighting bloody battles, all relying on drinking spirits to bring courage. It's finally getting closer and closer to victory. As long as the Jin army camp is broken, no matter how much sacrifice is worth it.

It's a pity. Everything was wiped out with the impact of the Jin cavalry.

And the Jin army once again showed a strong side, any trace of contempt, any trace of carelessness, will pay a heavy price.

At this time, morale is low, and if you want to attack, it is simply impossible!

Zhang Jun was a little lost, gritted his teeth, and could only endure it. The whole army can only take a temporary break to recuperate, cultivate morale, and recuperate.

This repair, another three days, the whole army, finally restored a trace of morale.

It's just too late to attack the Jin army camp again, and a bad news came, Wanyan Lou led 60,000 reinforcements to arrive, and finally set up camp in the north. The two Jin army camps, each other's horns, support each other, at this time to attack the Jin army village, there is no longer a chance of victory.

"Abominable ......"

Zhang Jun's mood collapsed to the extreme. With the arrival of Wanyan Lou's room, the chances of victory are getting slimmer and slimmer.

It's just that Zhang Jun's face is still calm and comfortable, and he said lightly: "Wanyan Lou is here, then let's decide the outcome of the battle!" ”

…………

Wanyan Lou's room came, and at this time, the two golden armies were close to 100,000.

Among them, the cavalry reached as many as 30,000, among which there were elite Tiefutu and kidnapping horses. Tiefutu is a heavy armored cavalry, with a huge impact, it is a tank in the era of cold weapons, and under strong pressure, it is enough to completely destroy any first-class cavalry; The kidnapping horse, on the other hand, is a light cavalry, extremely fast, with two horses per person, riding in turns, and can gallop for a long time and continue to chase and kill.

At this time, in terms of troop strength, the Song army was still the majority; It's just that in terms of the number of cavalry and the elite of the troops, the Jin army has the upper hand.

In this battle, the number of victories and defeats has become uncertain.

The Song army had as many as 200,000 troops, as well as a number of civilian men and auxiliary soldiers, and more than 100,000 auxiliary soldiers, with a total strength of 300,000, bringing together the elite troops of the ninth layer of the Northwest Army, and the offensive capability may be insufficient; But the defensive ability is very strong, and the Jin army wants to break the Song army in one fell swoop, it is difficult, it is very difficult!

The total strength of the Jin army was more than 100,000, including 50,000 Jurchen soldiers, 20,000 Liaodi Khitan army and Han army, and the overall combat effectiveness was strong, especially good at field warfare.

Both sides have their own advantages, but the disadvantages are also obvious.

Song Junsheng had a large number of people, but there were many factions, and each faction fought with each other, and they were not convinced by each other, fighting for themselves, and lacked cooperation; The disadvantage of the Jin Army is that after many years of fierce fighting, it has already lost its initial sharpness and is somewhat decayed.

In the camp of the Jin army, the two armies have converged.

The generals of the Jin Army are converging together to wash the dust for Wanyan Lou's room.

Drinking wine in a big bowl, eating meat in a big gulp, extremely arrogant, the atmosphere is extremely lively, and there are some military prostitutes to accompany them, and they are happy.

The only drawback is that the protagonist of the banquet is not there.

At this time, Wanyan Lou was sick.

Since the conquest of the northwest, Wanyan Lou has been unaccustomed to the soil and water, and has become ill. The condition is good for a while, bad for a while, and the generals have long been used to it.

At this moment, Wanyan Lou's room should be recuperating in the rear, but the military situation is like fire, and the battlefield is critical, so he has to go to the battlefield under the pretext of illness.

"Ahem!" Wanyan Lou Room coughed a few times and asked, "Your Highness, how is the battle situation?" ”

"In this battle, the odds are not good!"

Zong Bi sighed and said, roughly telling the battle experience of these days.

Wan Yan Lou coughed and listened carefully.

This battle is extremely dangerous!

Not long ago, Zhang Jun sent the whole army to attack, and the battle was extremely fierce, successively breaking through the ten camps of the Jin army, and the cavalry attacked at the rear, and finally saved the defeat. It seems that after the worst, the Jin army won. However, there were many casualties, especially the vassal army, which suffered heavy losses, and the people were panicked.

Morale has also fallen to the extreme.

Before the war, most of the generals of the Jin Army were eager to move forward and fight bravely to kill the enemy; It's just that after seeing the arrogance of the Song army, they talked about retreating.

This battle seems to be a victory, but this kind of victory, the Jin army can't afford it.

"Our army has become weaker, but the Song army has become stronger, and my Jurchen soldiers will never regain the courage of the past!" Seeming to be a little puzzled, as if he was extremely confused, Zong Bi said angrily: "Who are you who are still those people in the past, but my Jin Army is no longer that kind of bravery." For what? ”

"There is no eternal strong army in the world, many strong armies can only fight once, and they can't fight again!" Wan Yan Lou said with a wry smile, "The eagle can't be full, and if it's full, it's far away." Serving in the army and fighting is nothing more than being poor at home, and wanting to fight for wealth and wealth. If you die, you will be unlucky, but if you don't die, you will be happy. After experiencing the sacking of Bianliang and the sacking of Jiangnan, most of the soldiers had rich family assets and were only willing to go home to enjoy happiness, where would they be willing to fight! (To be continued......)
