Chapter 172: The Battle by the Yellow River
The Jin army crossed the river quickly, and the speed was very fast, and in just one night, nearly 5,000 cavalry crossed the river. The 5,000 cavalry were all one-man and two-horseed, very fast, and extremely powerful in maneuvering.
When the Song army along the coast found out, it was too late, and the Song army had gone to intercept it, but the result was a great defeat, with more than 3,000 dead and wounded.
Then, the Jin army's iron cavalry swept in quickly, killing the people who were harvesting the crops along the way, or setting fire to the crops in the fields, or attacking some of the Song troops who were alone. At this moment, the cavalry showed a strong destructive power, and the Song army, which was less than 10,000 in the field battle, encountered the iron cavalry of the Jin army, almost tortured and killed.
The iron cavalry of the Jin Army was mainly based on destruction, constantly burning and looting, constantly burning farmland, and a large number of unharvested grains, which were finally burned. Some small towns, improperly prepared, were rushed into by the Jin army's iron cavalry, and immediately fireworks broke out, women's cries, men's resistance, and chickens and dogs scurrying around, like hell on earth.
Seeing the attack of a large number of Jin troops, many cities hurriedly closed the city gates, watching the people outside the city being slaughtered and women being raped, but they were helpless.
Suddenly, the entire Henan Beacon Fire continued and suffered heavy losses.
When Zhao Pu got the whole news, he immediately threw the quilt on the ground angrily, his face was blue, "Damn, this is bullying me Da Song no one." Isn't it just five thousand iron horses? It's Superman, even Batman, Spider-Man, Iron Man, Lao Tzu has to tear you apart several times! ”
At this time, the rumbling war drums sounded, and Bianliang, as well as the surrounding prefectures and counties, immediately entered a state of alert, and many people who harvested crops could only go back. The city was full of panicked voices, as if the end of the world was coming, and the ferocity of the Jin army was already deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
"Your Majesty, go quickly! The Golden Army is coming! At this time, Zhang Suo said with a somewhat nervous expression.
Zhao Pu said coldly: "General Zhang, are you afraid?" “
"I'm scared!" Zhang Suo said, "There can be no Zhang Suo in the world, but there can be no His Majesty." Now that the five thousand iron horsemen of the Jin army are heading south, it seems that no one is in a land, and His Majesty still leaves quickly, so as not to be injured by the sword! ”
Zhao Pu took a deep breath, forced his heart to calm down, and said calmly: "General Zhang, you have a way to break the enemy!" ”
Zhang said: "Now that the Jin army is going south, it is impossible to harvest wheat. Now, on the one hand, quickly order all the cities, close the city gates, and beware of the attack of the Jin army; On the other hand, send soldiers and horses to encircle and suppress the Jin army! “
"Then I don't know how many soldiers and horses to send?"
"At least thirty thousand!" Zhang said with difficulty.
The cavalry of the Jin army who crossed the river this time belonged to the strong soldiers under Zong Han, and the Song army of less than 10,000 encountered this iron cavalry of the Jin army, and it was certain that they would die, and at least 20,000 infantry must be dispatched to have the strength to fight with the iron cavalry of the Jin army, if the number is too small, it will only be eaten by the Jin army. However, the transfer of 30,000 troops will inevitably affect the overall deployment of military forces.
Zhao Pu looked at Zhang Suo and was a little disappointed in his heart. Zhang Suo is only a good general, and there is still a long way to go from a famous general.
"If the Jin army can attack us, why can't we attack the Jin army?" Zhao Pu smiled, "Hedong, Hebei, and Youyun are all the directions of our attack!" ”
"Your Majesty is planning?" Zhang has all kinds of bad feelings.
"It's time to do it!" Zhao Pudao.
………………
At the same moment, a meeting was also being held within the Bazi Army at this time.
"The first section of the Jin army has crossed the Yellow River, there are many people who are defeated, there are many people who avoid the enemy and do not fight, and there are too few people who dare to fight!" Wang Yan looked at his generals and said, "Your Majesty said, we are the Eight-Character Army, and the slogan of the Eight-Character Army is to drive out the Tartars and restore China." You can't just talk about it and don't act on it. Your Majesty ordered us to cross the Yellow River and attack the rear of the Jin army! ”
"The battle was so dangerous that I might die, and so would many of my brothers. I am not reluctant to fight this battle, and if I don't want to fight, I am not reluctant! But if you go to Hedong and fear the enemy, don't blame Lao Tzu for being polite! ”
The generals said loudly: "I am willing to die for the general!" ”
"No, not for me, but for Your Majesty!" Zhang said.
Soon after, a force of 5,000 people left the base camp and advanced towards the Yellow River. Their task was to cross the Yellow River, attack the Jin army in Hedong and other places, and be responsible for liaising and leading the rebel armies from all walks of life, forming a whole, working together to resist the Jin army, disrupting the rear of the Jin army, and facilitating the front line against the Jin army.
It was another dark night, and the pontoon bridge was quickly built, and a group of Song troops crossed the Yellow River and rushed to the east of the river. It has to be said that the Jin army was too careless, or they did not expect that the Song army would cross the river and attack quickly.
At the moment of dawn, the sky was just dawning, and at this time, a Jin army camp flashed, and a Jin army soldier was playing and looking a little tired.
At that moment, an arrow came and pierced his neck, bleeding from his neck and falling to the ground.
At the same time, the guards at the watchtower, the doorway, and the soldiers who were in charge of patrols everywhere were attacked. They never dreamed that there would be an enemy attack, and in the confusion, they went to death, and life was extremely cheap at this moment. It's just that while dealing with a sentry, there was an accident, and instead of being attacked and dying, the horn was blown
"Woo!"
The siren of the horn resounded in the camp, and the sleeping soldiers of the Jin Army woke up.
"Not good, there is an enemy sneak attack!"
"Damn, are those rebels again!"
At this time, the eight-character army came, like a flood of invasion, the infantry was responsible for clearing all kinds of roadblocks, and the cavalry was responsible for charging and killing. Suddenly, the shouts of killing continued, and the fierce fighting began.
Dawn is the beginning of a day, the beginning of hope, and this moment is also the beginning of killing.
Taking advantage of the Jin Army's defenselessness, in the wanton killing of the officers and soldiers of the Bazi Army, many Jin soldiers lost their lives in a daze. And some soldiers woke up, but before they had time to put on their armor, they were attacked, and they could only fight bare-chested.
didn't have time to organize the formation, and was strangled by the joint force of the Mandarin Duck Array; As soon as some of the Jin troops formed their formations, they were attacked by cavalry, and the formations were scattered again.
Wang Yan's eyes flashed with madness, and he rushed forward quickly with a big knife in his hand, his hand fell with a knife, and his head fell to the ground. At this time, a spear stabbed him, Wang Yan's body was deflected, his body dodged, and then the blade slashed, the barrel of the gun was broken in half, and then another knife slashed, and blood spurted out.
Rows of arrows were fired in volleys, short spears were thrown out, torches were thrown into the tents one by one, and the mandarin duck array was strangled, and the soldiers of the 5,000-character army were like a huge killing machine, constantly harvesting life, a large number of Jin soldiers fell, there were fewer and fewer rebels, more and more corpses on the ground, and blood flowed on the ground, like a poignant red flower.
It's an unequal battle, one side is prepared, the other side is completely unprepared.
In the melee, the Jin army lost the sharpness of its war horses and its combat effectiveness was greatly reduced; Most of them did not put on their armor, and their combat effectiveness was weakened again; And then, he wanted to rely on his personal courage to kill out, but he was ruthlessly sniped by the mandarin duck array. Little by little, the advantages of the Jin army are erased, and all that remains is endless disadvantages.
And the Bazi Army, after long-term training and strict military discipline, has long been a strong army, but it lacks actual combat. At the beginning of the fierce battle, there are still loopholes in each other's cooperation, and there are still many deficiencies in killing skills, but as the battle progresses, it becomes more and more ruthless and skilled.
An hour later, Wang Yan's army won a great victory and annihilated the 3,000 gold army.
It's not a small victory.
"Come on, cut off all your heads and make a Jingguan!" Wang Yan shouted. Killing is important, and punishing the heart is even more important.
A hill several meters high appeared.
And near the hill, there is a sign that reads: Blood debt and blood repayment.
……………
When reinforcements from the Jin army arrived, Wang Yanjun had already withdrawn.
"Damn!" Looking at the hill in front of him, a trace of fear flashed in the eyes of the generals of the Jin Army. In his eyes, the Song people were cowardly like a flock of sheep that could be slaughtered at will. And at this moment, the Song people showed them a hideous side, even if it was a sheep, it was a sheep with horns! If you are in a hurry, you will also use your horns to push out two big holes.
Finally, the body is buried and withdrawn.
It's just that on the way back, they were ambushed again.
When passing through a mountain range, the soldiers of the Bazi Army who were lying in ambush on the side, stretched their bows and arrows, and seventeen arrows were fired, and with a few pops, five arrows missed, six arrows were wounded, and six arrows killed the enemy. Then as soon as he turned his head, he rode his horse and ran. Angry, the generals of the Jin army were furious, and immediately sent a hundred cavalry to chase and kill.
As a result, they were ambushed on the way, and more than a dozen people died, and the soldiers of the Bazi Army who were ambushed left in a dashing manner.
Watching the sniper soldier withdraw, Wang Yan nodded with satisfaction.
The emperor said that don't be picky in war, no matter how small the mosquito is, it is also meat. Set small victories into big victories, and small victories have been fought a lot, and they have also done great damage to the Jin Army.
