Jingkang Chapter A Lonely City and Ten Thousand Mountains Section 32 Collision Formation
The golden soldier array on the opposite side was also moving forward with the order of the main general. The two armies were getting closer and closer, and the enemy and our soldiers in the front row could gradually see each other's appearances, and they only felt that the enemy of the other side looked hideous, but they did not realize that they themselves were also this hideous appearance. They stared at each other. At first, they still had the time to pay attention to the enemy on the left and right, but slowly, as the distance approached, all they could see was the appearance of the enemy they were facing and the weapons in their hands.
The first to approach the Song army was the cavalry of the Jin soldiers, Hao Siwen calculated the distance of the enemy army from the main formation, and silently recited in his heart: "Two hundred steps,......, one hundred and fifty steps,......, one hundred and thirty steps." He ordered: "Bow and crossbow!" "The Song army has the heaviest bow and crossbow, and nine far and one near in an army, that is, ninety percent of the Song army has its own bow or crossbow arrows, and for a time each commander fired ten thousand arrows at the same time. The rain of arrows fell, and the Jin soldiers who were charging towards the Song army's main formation were shot down. The Jin Soldier cavalry was divided into two columns and went around the back, revealing the main formation of the Jin soldiers behind them.
The second round of arrows of the Song army arrived, and some small gaps appeared in the Jin soldiers' infantry formation, but as the infantry array advanced, these gaps were immediately filled. The first small phalanx of the Song army also began to charge forward, and the second column followed closely. The phalanx of the Jin soldiers on the opposite side also rushed towards the Song soldiers one after another. Tens of thousands of people ran and trampled, leaving the battlefield dusty, and the wind and dust raised by the cavalry in the northern battle gathered together and obscured the sky. The earth shook, the enemy and I shouted, and the two soldiers who charged forward collided in one place, and the fight rose.
The enemy and our armies collided. The soldiers in the first few columns of the Song army and the Jin soldiers were already in a fight, and the soldiers behind were still rushing forward. Puliuru Bosheng controlled the speed of his horse and kept an eye on the battle situation ahead. At this time, the battle with the enemy has just begun, and the formation cannot be scattered, once scattered, it will be divided and surrounded by the enemy, and once it is divided and surrounded by the enemy, no matter how brave the individual is, he will definitely fall into death, and he will not be able to return to the sky. He knew very well that although his subordinates were numerous, they were just a rabble, and they could only rely on the formation to maintain it, and hold on to the golden soldiers to wait for the opportunity to win.
The battle between the two armies does not turn into a melee all at once, and this requires a process. For example, now, the Song army only has a thousand people in the small phalanx of the first column, and after these thousands of people meet the enemy, they fight each other, and it is impossible to break into the enemy's formation quickly, so after receiving the enemy, the soldiers behind need to slow down appropriately, so as not to knock down the soldiers in front of their own army. Pu Liuru Bosheng breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the commanding officers were in order.
He looked to the left and right, because he had just made contact with the enemy, and the friendly forces of the various units were progressing to a similar degree, and they were advancing in unison, and he had not yet distinguished who would come first and who would follow. However, Puliu Ru Bosheng knew that after waiting a little longer, when the battle situation was at a fever pitch, it was time to show who had the most elite troops, and the elite troops would advance much and break through the enemy's formation, while the less elite troops would be pulled behind.
Puliu Ru Bosheng rushed forward with the large team to kill, and looked forward again, only to see Lu Zhishen as a pioneer soldier, rushing to the front of the phalanx of the headquarters, holding a water grinding Zen staff, slashing left and right, brave, in the blink of an eye, he had knocked down five or six enemies, and took the lead in breaking into the enemy formation with the soldiers of the headquarters. A small enemy leader came with a dozen men to block the attack.
This little leader was wearing armor and using spears, and the dozen or so people he brought were probably the elite of the golden soldiers, and they were all dressed in armor, each holding a spear, and the armor and weapons were complete. These dozen or so people formed an arc-shaped semi-encirclement, trying to surround Lu Zhishen.
Lu Zhishen didn't wait for the soldiers behind him to follow, he rushed forward, rushed forward, more than ten spears stabbed out, Lu Zhishen swung left and right, and beat these dozen spears until they were out of his hands. Then he strides forward, left and right to kill. He was very powerful, and under the blow of the water mill Zen staff, with the weight of the Zen staff, he could also knock the enemy into the chest and vomit blood, and in the blink of an eye, half of the more than ten people were knocked down by him, including the little leader. The little leader was flung by him with his Zen staff, staggered back seven or eight steps, the armor on his chest shattered, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
The two soldiers behind Lu Zhishen looked at the cheap, rushed up, and a spear stabbed him in the arm, by the force of this impact, this little leader was already unstable, and suddenly fell to the ground, and the other soldier jumped on his body, drew a knife, cut his throat sharply, and shouted at Lu Zhishen: "Master, do you want a head?" "On the battlefield, the enemy and the enemy are fighting, it is impossible to take the head of every enemy killed, if it is an ordinary golden soldier, just cut off his left ear, after all, this is a small leader, looking at his armor and weapons, and should be a warrior in the golden soldier, so this soldier has this question.
Lu Zhishen was disdainful and shouted: "The master is very busy, it is not worth taking his head!" "Killed the remaining few golden soldiers, and strode forward with a long water mill Zen staff, fighting hard with the enemies who came up like a tide.
With the assistance of the archers commanded by Hao Siwen behind him, Lu Zhishen was fierce, attacking and killing the enemy, and moving forward bravely, and the phalanx he led gradually crossed the phalanx of the remaining parts and slowly penetrated into the formation of the Jin soldiers. Pu Liuru Bosheng counted the time, and after a while, he ordered: "Ling Lu Zhishen stepped back, Hao Siwen stepped forward!" ”
A long and fierce battle can be physically exhausting, and you can't just use one commander in front of you when you charge the battle, especially when facing a brave enemy like Jin Bing, you need to take turns to charge the battle. Puliu Ru Bosheng's military order was handed down, and Lu Zhishen led his troops to retreat and replaced Hao Siwen into battle. Although Hao Siwen is condescended to a patrol inspection, he is not as brave as Lu Zhishen, but he is also skilled in martial arts and is very important to the soldiers. His soldiers are all composed of defeated soldiers in the previous battles to rescue Taiyuan, and most of the veterans are oily, which can be regarded as battle-hardened. These veterans are good at escaping if they face a vicious battle or an unfavorable situation, but if the two sides are of similar strength, they can be supported by a single board and a glance.
In the battle of Qinshui River, although most of them were defeated by the Jin soldiers' cavalry, they finally killed one of the Jin soldiers, which made these veterans feel that the Jin soldiers were not so terrible.
Blood splattered everywhere in the array, and severed limbs flew sideways. Hao Siwen and Lu Zhishen fought bravely, took over the killing of the enemy, and led their troops deeper and deeper into the enemy formation. Following in their footsteps, one commander after another entered the golden soldier formation and began an all-out fierce battle with the enemy.
At this time, the most leisurely is Puliu Ru Bosheng, who is already brave and outstanding, and under the firm protection of the guards of Yidu, although there are Jin soldiers who are not afraid of death rushing up, but they can't reach him at all.
Pu Liuru Bosheng looked back, and saw that the Song army array lined up behind his men and horses also followed and followed them into the formation, while the friendly troops on the left and right were now a little far away from him, one was left behind, and the other was inserted by some Jin soldiers from the middle, separating them from each other. These are common things in warfare. From the point of view of Puliu Ru Bosheng, it was separated from the close contact with friendly forces by the Jin soldiers, and from the perspective of the Jin soldiers, why was it not cut off from the various departments of the Song soldiers? So don't worry too much, as long as the distance between you and your allies is not too far, you don't have to worry about falling into a siege.
As time passed, the two armies went deep into each other's formations, and the two sides formed a staggered situation in which you have me and I have you. The war drums in the Song army were endless, and the war drums in the Jin soldiers on the opposite side were also ringing non-stop. The drums of war are like thunder, shouting to kill the ears and curb the clouds, the enemy and the enemy are fighting, the spears and halberds intersect, and the dust covers the sky. The fighting has come to a fever pitch.
There are constantly enemy soldiers falling to the ground, and there are constantly enemy and our soldiers filling their positions, and they are constantly fighting. The soldiers of the Jin soldiers hugged the soldiers of the Song army and rolled on the ground. The soldiers of the Song army raised their spears and stabbed them into the chest and abdomen of the Jin soldiers. The comrades-in-arms who fought side by side could not care about anyone, and if they were distracted, they would be killed by the enemy, and they only had their opponents in their eyes, and they fought each other. Puliu Ru Bosheng stood up from his horse, wanting to see the whole picture of the battlefield. In fact, up to now, if he sat on a horse, he couldn't see the Song army in the distance at all, and there were people in all directions. And as a forward manager, you have to look at the big picture.
Hao Siwen rushed forward and killed twenty steps, because he had rushed into the enemy's formation, the pressure increased greatly, and there were casualties among the soldiers one after another. Puliu Ru Bosheng ordered in time: "Change Lu Zhishen!" ”
Lu Zhishen followed Hao Siwenqu and ate dust for a long time, he couldn't bear it for a long time, he couldn't wait, he heard Pu Liuru Bo's grand order, he looked at the cane with disgust, and immediately took the lead, crossed Hao Siwen with his headquarters, waved the long water mill Zen staff, stabbed the golden soldiers on the opposite side to death, knocked them down, and shouted at the seemingly endless golden soldiers in front of him: "The master is very busy, as long as he is extremely strong and violent." No one else is my enemy! ”
Even the endless golden soldiers on the opposite side couldn't stop him, killing all the way, leaving blood all over the ground and the corpses of enemies. With all his might, he took fifty steps forward. Pu Liuru Bosheng made Hao Siwen on it. In this way, Lu Zhishen and Hao Siwen took turns to rush into battle. Lu Zhishen rushed to the enemy five times, and he was invincible.
It's just that among the ten thousand armies, he couldn't find the location of the opponent's main general, and he killed many small leaders of the Jin soldiers, but he never managed to fight against the Jin general. His water mill Zen staff was full of bloodstains, the Zen staff was almost dyed red, blood slipped on his hands, he tore off the placket of the iron armor, wrapped it in his hands, fought bravely, shouted constantly, and kept clashing with the enemy formation, like a sharp sword, and all his golden soldiers were shattered. As he was rushing to kill, he noticed that the Jin soldiers on his right had dodged one after another, and dozens of horsemen rushed from here.
His mission was to rush forward, and this enemy was rushing from the right flank, and it was not under his control, but he had others to deal with. Without hesitation, he did not see the cavalry that had come from the flank, and continued to assault forward, and before he could take four or five steps forward, he suddenly heard hundreds of people in the rear shouting in unison: "Puliuru kills the Tartar chief with one shot." ”
Lu Zhishen was shocked, stopped slightly, looked back, and saw that a head had been picked up by Pu Liuru Bosheng on the Fang Tian painting halberd and held high. The cavalry that had been killed on the flanks had been dispersed. It turned out that Pu Liuru Bosheng saw the opponent's cavalry killing, and on a whim, he played his trick of running alone, and raised Fang Tian's halberd to directly take the enemy general. General Jin also did not expect that the Song army lord would ride out alone, defenseless, and was picked off the horse by Puliu Ru Bosheng in only one round.
