Chapter 386: Reversal of the Situation

At the moment when the cavalry rushed to kill, the Song infantry destroyed gunpowder weapons.

Bronze cannons, firecrackers, etc., because the Song army has always been strictly controlled, and a small amount of equipment in the army, the number of appearances is less than five times, so the Jin army knows very little. It's just that the Song army has some powerful firearms, which are very powerful, but as for the specific data, they don't know the road at all, and they have never seized the real thing.

This makes it difficult for Jin Jun to imitate, and the delay in leaking and being imitated is a huge technical advantage.

At this moment, the battle was defeated, and he decisively tied explosives to the gun carriage, or threw the fire gun on the ground and broke it to pieces.

"Boom!"

The cavalry of the Jin army and the cavalry of the Song army collided again, but this time the addition of the new force caused the Jin army to occupy the absolute upper hand, and constantly strangled the cavalry of the Song army. The cavalry of the Song army became less and less fought, and the situation became more and more unfavorable.

Han Shizhong suffered many wounds on his body, but he still slashed desperately, which can be regarded as loyal to the Great Song Dynasty!

"Whoosh!"

A dark arrow shot in the distance, and with a wave of the war knife in Han Shizhong's hand, the arrow was knocked down.

At this time, three spears came together to assassinate him.

Han Shizhong leaned and avoided a gun, the spear in his right hand fired a stabbing shot, but the spear behind the most Lu did not avoid it, a slash on his waist, and immediately made a loud noise, the good armor saved Han Shizhong's life, it was originally a certain death, but his body shook and rubbed blood marks on his waist.

Under the violent shock, Han Shizhong almost fell off his horse.

At this moment, an arrow was shot at the warhorse, and the warhorse neighed. Dropped Han Shizhong off the war horse.

"I'm going to die!"

Han Shizhong thought unwillingly, but no matter how unwilling he was, he was helpless.

On the battlefield. If you lose your horse, you're not far from death!

"Kill!"

Han Shizhong threw out the war knife with all his might, and the war knife flew out, drawing a streamer of light, hitting a Jin army cavalryman. The cavalry of the Jin Army, his body shook, and he fell off his horse.

The spear in his hand provoked. Han Shizhong struck hard, and a Jin army cavalry was picked off his horse.

"Brush!"

A cold light flashed and slashed towards Han Shizhong's head.

Between life and death. Han Shizhong fell backwards, avoiding the fatal knife, but the armor on his head was cut off in large pieces.

"General, get on your horse!"

Then. The soldiers on all sides came to escort them. Blocking the besieging Jin cavalry, Han Shizhong was temporarily out of danger.

It is only temporary, and it will not be long before danger will come again, and life will wither again.

Re-mounted the war horse and looked around, Han Shizhong felt sad in his heart, at this moment, the remnants of the Song army cavalry were less than 2,000 people. Probably in half an hour, the whole army will be annihilated. And his head will also be cut off by the Jin army and become a trophy.

Han Shizhong felt sorry in his heart, and was about to lead the team to rush to kill again, when he suddenly heard the sound of horns in the distance, as well as the sound of war horses galloping, the sound was very messy, coming from the west, staring carefully, only to see a huge Songzi flag appear in the air.

"Reinforcements are finally here!"

Han Shizhong burst into tears, and his heart was a little abrupt.

The reinforcements of the Song army also came, only more than 2,000 people, a small number, but where hope and victory lie.

Reinforcements came, and everything was fine.

This reinforcement, when they had reached 200 paces, stopped, dismounted, took out their spears, bows and arrows, shields, or rakes, etc., formed an infantry formation, and rushed to kill.

This reinforcement is essentially an infantry cavalry.

Either you have a horse or a cavalry, you need to train for enough time and fight for a long time before you can become a qualified cavalryman.

And this reinforcement of the Song army is essentially an unqualified cavalry, an infantry cavalry, which uses war horses to drive the way, and when it arrives on the battlefield, it dismounts and acts as infantry to fight.

The terrain is limited, the time is limited, there is no time, calmly arrange the infantry formation. Often, a dozen soldiers formed a small infantry formation and rushed to kill. At this time, the cavalry of the Song army was in the midst of annihilation, and was at an absolute disadvantage, and it was necessary to reinforce quickly, and the speed was above all else.

Kill!

The formation has been messed up, like a pot of porridge mixed together.

There are no strategies and tactics, all of them are gone, some are just fighting, slashing, rushing, killing, killing and killing all over the ground, killing the sky and the sky dark.

The Jin army reinforcements arrived one after another, and the Song army's infantry cavalry also arrived one after another.

Gradually, it changed from a refueling tactic to a big melee.

Tens of thousands of people scuffled together, and when they saw that the armor was different, they hugged their heads and slashed, and their bows and arrows were shot.

Gradually, the Jin army fell into a disadvantage.

It's not that the cavalry of the Jin Army is not elite, it's just that the number of the Jin Army is too small, and the two Jin armies together are only more than 20,000 people; The combined two armies of the Song army numbered more than 40,000, which was numerically superior.

In peacetime, it would not be a problem for 20,000 Jin troops to beat 40,000 Song troops, 50,000 Song troops, or even 100,000 Song troops.

More than 100,000 troops fought and came into contact with each other, and only a few thousand people fought fiercely, and the remaining troops were more used as substitutes, or even as soy sauce. The victory or defeat of these thousands of people determines the victory of the overall battle situation.

But with this kind of refueling tactics and the continuation of this kind of big melee, the Song and Jin sides are all mixed together, fighting everywhere, fighting everywhere, no soy sauce, and no substitutes, some just rush to kill, hack the enemy to death, or be hacked to death by the enemy.

If you want to escape, you will only die faster; If you want to hesitate, you will only die faster.

In such a big scuffle, the side with the largest number of people has the advantage.

At this moment, the advantages of the combined operation of the Song army's infantry and cavalry were once again brought into play, the cavalry of the Song army pinned down the cavalry of the Jin army, and the infantry was a group of several people, slashing the legs of the horses, or strangling the cavalry of the Jin army after falling off the horse, or slashing the cavalry.

After losing their speed, the cavalry of the Jin Army no longer had an advantage to speak of, and they were gradually consumed, killing less and less, and killing more and more disadvantaged.

Little by little, the elite is consumed by mediocrity.

"Withdraw!"

At the sound of an order, the cavalry of the Jin army began to withdraw.

It was just an evacuation in a fierce battle, which soon evolved into a rout, and the Jin army was defeated.

Of the 20,000 gold troops who participated in the battle, less than 5,000 fled.

The Song army only chased and killed for about ten miles, and then stopped, mainly because the Song cavalry suffered heavy losses, and it was impossible to pursue and expand the results of the battle.

The Song army won this battle, and it was a miserable victory.

Among the Song troops who participated in the war, there were more than 30,000 infantry and 8,000 cavalry, which was almost the largest strength of the navy. After this battle, the 8,000 cavalry was less than 2,000, and they were wounded and bone-wrenched, and they no longer had the strength to fight; The infantry suffered more than 10,000 casualties, and a large number of firearms were lost.

The battle losses of the Song army were much higher than those of the Jin army, with 1,000 enemies and 1,200 self-losses.

Tactically, the Song army lost because the casualty figure outnumbered the Jin army.

But from a strategic point of view, the Song army was victorious.

Ordinary soldiers don't know mathematics, they don't know statistics, and they don't know how many people the Song army died, but after the battle of the Song army was the worst, the Song army chased the Jin army to fight, the Jin army fled for their lives, and the Song army was victorious.

In the soldiers' concept of victory and defeat, there are not too many fancy, and there are fewer things to consider, but they know that one side runs away if they lose and wins the pursuit of one side.

From this point of view, the Song army was victorious, even a great victory.

And from the point of view of the Jin army, the Song army was also victorious.

The entire Northeast is sparsely populated, with a total population of only 2 million, and the Jurchen family is only 500,000. Since the main force moved south, the entire northeast has been empty, and the number of troops mobilized is less than 100,000. Among these 100,000, there are only less than 30,000 Jurchen soldiers, and the rest are mostly affiliated troops such as the Khitan army, the Xiren army, and the Han army.

After this battle, the Jurchen army suffered heavy losses, and its mobile forces were exhausted, so they could only stick to some major cities, and they had to make every effort to suppress some foreign armies that were ready to move, and they were no longer able to take the initiative to encircle and suppress the Song army that landed on the ground.

Before the main force of the Jin army on the front line did not return to the rescue, the Song army gained the strategic initiative and could "fight the grass valley" in the northeast at will.

From this point of view, the Song army was victorious.

And this victory made Goryeo, who was originally wavering, make a choice.

And the price of this victory is also heavy. The cavalry of the Song army that landed was exhausted and could no longer fight the grass valley. And without the cover of cavalry, on the vast plains, the infantry was in extremely unfavorable conditions. The insufficient supply of grain and grass has also become the biggest obstacle for the Jin army to expand its achievements and attack in depth.

Han Shizhong wanted many times that raising troops would be under the city of Ning, showing off his might and power, even if he couldn't break through the capital of the Jin army, he could scare people, but after thinking about it, forget it!

After the most retreat, the whole army retreated to the ship and left Liaodong again.

The entire Liaodong Grass Valley operation came to an end. (To be continued......)
