Chapter 383: The time for the decisive battle has arrived
In the world, we can only share joys and sorrows, not wealth and prosperity.
In the early days of Daikin's business, when it was difficult to fight a hundred battles, Daikin worked together to fight the enemy, and won victory after victory.
However, since the defeat of the Liao State, especially after the death of Emperor Taizu, rifts have appeared, and it is no longer possible to help each other in the same boat, but to calculate with each other and bury each other.
Back then, when the Song Dynasty was attacked for the first time, if Zong Han and Zong Wang could abandon the factional struggle and join forces under the city of Bianliang, the Song Dynasty would have been destroyed long ago. It's a pity that Zong Han's temperament is a little narrow, and he doesn't want Zong Wang to take the lead, so he misses the opportunity in vain.
Later, in the war against the Song Dynasty, there were constant entanglements and contradictions between various factions, causing the Jin army to miss opportunities repeatedly.
And this time, the Song army landed in Liaodong and plundered, causing serious damage to the hinterland of the Jin army and putting the Jin country in an unprecedented state of crisis, but there was still continuous infighting.
This made Zong Chao resentful in his heart.
Under the persuasion of the mother-in-law, he finally dispelled Yan Yan's dissatisfaction.
It's just suppressed temporarily, and once something happens, it will break out again!
…………
Inspecting the camp, Han Shizhong was satisfied.
The most satisfying thing is the improvement of the Song army's cavalry and archery level.
In the two months of pursuit, the Zong Dynasty was improving, the level of camping was gradually improved, and the command of the army became more and more calm; And the Song army is also improving, the level of cavalry and archery is improving rapidly, and the combat power is still lower than the elite of the Jin army, but it can compete with the second- and third-rate cavalry of the Jin army.
At the time of cavalry training. It takes at least three years to train to become an army, such as horse selection, military training, horse archery, etc. in order to have the power to fight.
Of course, on the battlefield, whether you can win a big victory depends on God's blessing!
It's just that the Song Dynasty didn't have time to train the cavalry calmly, and it was unwilling to spend a lot of effort, but it let the cavalry be defeated repeatedly.
It's too inefficient and inefficient!
So, just after training a shelf, it was time for a fierce battle in Liaodong.
The battlefield is the best place to train. Only constant persecution, continuous creation of strong enemies, tempering between life and death. in order to grow rapidly.
Between life and death, there is great fear, and it also stimulates the most potential.
In this way, landed in Liaodong. The rookies began a fierce battle. began the grinding between life and death, we must progress, we must progress quickly, we must do better than Jin Jun, otherwise it will be death, and it will be a catastrophe.
The battlefield won't say anything, it won't find a reason!
If you lose, you lose; Lost. It's death.
landed in Liaodong, and the three-light policy began. The cavalry of the Song army began to fight in the grass valley and began to fight bloodily. They were very lucky, at the beginning they only encountered the old and weak soldiers of the Jin State, and their riding and archery ability was poor, far lower than that of the Jurchen elite.
These are all very good whetstones, so that these rookies have not broken their backs and have the opportunity to improve.
As a result, these are just showmanship, and the level of mounted archery has increased rapidly, and the speed of the increase is a little terrifying.
The time for the decisive battle has come, and there are seven chances to defeat this golden army and achieve the most decisive victory.
Han Shizhong is full of confidence.
In the big tent, open the letter, after reading the content of the letter, it was immediately burned, Han Shizhong walked in the tent, thinking back and forth, his eyes flashed with shrewdness, and he said leisurely: "The time for the decisive battle has come, let's decide the battle!" ”
The letter wrote that the navy, carrying about 30,000 infantry, had already gone up the Yalu River, and it would only take half a day to feel the decisive battle.
The time, the place, the people, the conditions have been met, the odds have been done, the momentum has reached the peak, the so-called prosperity and decline, at this moment in the non-decisive battle, morale decline, then it may really be over!
"Marshal, the Jin Army has shot a war letter!"
At this time, a personal soldier came up and delivered a war letter.
Han Shizhong opened the war book, only to see that it was written that the Song army was weak, timid, etc., insulting words, and asked for a battle at the end.
"If you want to fight, I will fight!"
Han Shizhong said, "Inform the soldiers, eat a full meal and fight tomorrow!" ”
With the order given, the whole battalion was notified of the time. The officers and men of the whole army were a little nervous and a little panicked, but they were all quickly preparing for a bloody battle tomorrow, whether they were dead or alive, it would be tomorrow.
At this moment, the Jin army camp was also boiling, the order of the bloody battle was conveyed, and the soldiers of the Jin army were nervously preparing for war.
When the difference in strength is large, this strategy and that calculation may be adopted, but when there is not much difference in the strength of each other, and when the generals on both sides are not much different, they can only adopt the most direct and simple tactics to fight to the death.
The next day, in a relatively open valley, the Song army was in a neat formation, about 8,000 men, lined up in the north; And the Jin army numbered as many as 7,000 people, lined up in the south.
Both sides were dominated by cavalry, supplemented by infantry.
In fact, in this era, there is no clear difference between infantry and cavalry, often on the war horse, that is, cavalry, and when you get off the war horse, you are infantry.
If you have a war horse, you are a cavalry; Without horses, they are infantry.
On the horse, it is cavalry, and as for the number of unskilled, it is all up to you!
Among the 8,000 Song troops, there were 2,000 infantry and more than 6,000 cavalry, mainly infantry and cavalry; The Jin army, on the other hand, had no infantry, but was all cavalry, and won purely by powerful cavalry. Neither side left soldiers and horses to guard the camp, nor did they leave a backhand, which makes no sense.
And in this battle, there was no pretending to lose, luring the enemy deeper, and taking the opportunity to annihilate.
Fighting a war is not a game, and there are not many tricks to fight a war. Once you play too many tricks, you will only be trapped and will never recover.
At this moment, it is more like two gangs of hooligans, who have agreed on the occasion and time, and gathered together to fight. It's just that there are few casualties in group fights, there are few fatalities, and the weapons used in brawls are also very simple; But war is different, there are many, many dead people, the credit is calculated by the head, the weapons are improved in every possible way, and there is a deep fear that there will not be enough dead people, and there will not be enough bloodshed.
"This Song army is so neat, more than 8,000 Song troops, much more than expected!" Zong Chao looked at the Song army camp and sighed again. At the beginning of the pursuit of this Song army, there were only more than 5,000 people, and the Song army suffered a lot of casualties along the way, but the overall number became more than 8,000 people, not decreasing but increasing, and obviously reinforcements joined.
And these cavalry of the Song army, standing neatly, immobile like a mountain, with an earth-shattering aura, are not characters to be messed with.
This battle is a bit tragic!
"It's just a group of rabble, it's a showcase, and it's useless!" Wan Yan said disdainfully, his tone was contemptuous, but his heart was extremely dignified.
This Song army is a hard bone, if you only rely on the Jin army under his department, it is extremely difficult to strangle this Song army, it seems that if you want to achieve the most victorious victory, you still need Zong Pan's help.
"Jurchen sons, the day of the bloody battle has come. It has always been my Jurchen who invaded other people's lands, enjoyed other people's wives and daughters, and plundered other people's property, but today, someone dares to violate the border of my Dajin and want to humiliate our people, all come with me, rush over with me, and let them know the power of the Jurchen warriors of the Dao Dao! ”
"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”
The Jurchen cavalry shouted in unison, their voices high and murderous.
On the other side, Han Shizhong was also making a military mobilization, shouting loudly: "Soldiers, Wei Qing and Huo Qubing cut down the Huns, Li Yaoshi cut down the Turks, and I will also cut down the Jurchens today." The day of sealing his wife and son has come, and the emperor has promised that as long as this is overcome; As long as the Song army on the opposite side is defeated, all officers will be promoted to three levels and given 20 acres of land; After dying on the battlefield, he was given forty acres of land. The emperor doesn't care about rewards, do we care about life and death? ”
"Kill, kill, kill!"
The soldiers of the Song army also shouted in unison, murderous and high-spirited.
The killing intent and battle intent of both sides are extremely strong.
Both sides are constantly accumulating momentum, and once the momentum is gathered to the extreme, they will fight fiercely.
Fight on the battlefield, momentum first.
"Arise, you who do not want to be slaves! Full of blood burning, desperate to the death! Destroy the Jurchen Hulu and restore my great Song Dynasty. Princes are not humble, and meritorious deeds are in this time. Use our flesh and blood to forge a new Great Wall, fight against the Jurchens, recover the clouds, and restore our Celestial Empire............"
In the sound of drums, the Song army sounded a passionate military song.
Between life and death, there is great fear and great bloody battle.
After this battle, only a few can survive, who is not afraid, even Han Shizhong feels a trace of fear.
If you want to suppress the fear and the fear of death, the only way to do so is to be encouraged by blood and forget about life and death.
In the passionate battle song, the soldiers forgot about death, and their momentum kept rising, and they overwhelmed the Jin army at the last time.
Zong Chao felt a little panicked.
Wan Yan listened to the singing, and only felt irritable.
And the soldiers of the Jin Army also felt depressed.
"Kill!"
Pulling out the war knife, Zong Chao broke off with a shout, and the Jin army's war horse rumbled and swept in.
The big war begins! (To be continued......)
