Jingkang Chapter A Lonely City and Ten Thousand Mountains Section 61 Autumn Evil
The next day, the Jin soldiers of the brigade assembled on the easternmost bank of the Cai River. The Cai River has two eastern banks
The Cai River flows in the south of Bianliang in a "several", first from the south to the north, from the Guangli Water Gate into the Bianliang City, in front of the Imperial City to the east, parallel to the Imperial City Wall, and then turn to the south, from the Puji Water Gate flow. Therefore, the day before yesterday, when Gu Zhen crossed the Cai River, he arrived at the east bank of the "inside" of the Cai River, that is, the inside of the "several" shape. Today, the Meng'an Tri under the command of Hu Li Bu is assembled at the southeast corner of Bianliang, the outermost east side of the Cai River.
Hu Yangeng, Wu Ge and others saw Jin Bing's actions on the watchtower, and Wu Ge asked, "What is this Tartar chief going to do?" ”
"Are you going to attack from the southeast corner?" Hu Yangeng also felt strange that if the Jin soldiers attacked the east, they could attack from the camp, but the Jin soldiers did not have a camp in the south, and there was no cover when they assembled, so up to now, Wang Yu's Shenwu Southern Army had not encountered a frontal attack by the Jin soldiers on the whole, except for the salient on the west bank of the Cai River.
Hu Yan Geng and Wu Ge rode to the southeast corner of the city wall, looked into the distance, and found that three or four miles away from the city, there was a large group of people gathered, these people seemed to be carrying some equipment, but they were not like the goose carts and cave carts used for siege of the city. After a while, Hu Yangeng shouted in surprise: "They are camping." ”
Hu Yangeng really didn't expect that the Jin soldiers would actually camp in front of the two armies. "They're finally trying to block the south."
Wu Ge smiled: "Let's look at Wang Jieshuai's methods." ”
Sure enough, a commander rushed out of the trench of the Shenwu Southern Army and marched towards the group of people, and dared to open the camped people. But the commander was about to approach the group of men when he was overtaken by Tripu's light horse. This command had to form a formation on the spot to fend off the attack of the enemy's cavalry.
"Sure enough, it's a Khitan cavalry." Hu Yangeng and Wu Ge both saw it, and it was the Khitan people's practice to surround the infantry formation with light cavalry and harass them, looking for flaws, unlike the desperate rush of the Jurchen cavalry.
Wu Ge watched for a while, "The formation of the Shenwu Southern Army is really tight, this Khitan people have been around the formation for so long, and they still haven't found a flaw, but several of them have been shot off their horses." It's just that 500 people were besieged by a Meng'an, and after a long time, I was afraid that I couldn't hold on. ”
Hu Yangeng said: "Don't worry, let's look at Zhonglian's means." ”
Sure enough, the Song army rushed out of the formation of 500 cavalry, and went straight to the Khitan light cavalry, looking at the banner, the commander was Yang Kefa. At this time, out of nowhere, a team of cavalry was killed and fought with Yang Kefa's troops.
Hu Yangeng looked in the direction where the cavalry came from, and found that behind a mound, the armor of the golden soldiers was still faintly visible.
"The gold thief still has his hands left?"
Just thinking about it, five commanders of the Shenwu Southern Army suddenly came out, the middle one commanded the banner Lu Zhishen, and the other four commanders had no impression of Hu Yangeng, who should not have led it directly before.
These five infantry commanders still had to rescue the Song soldiers at the beginning, and at this time, a team of Jin soldiers came to fight with these five commanders.
Hu Yangeng was strange in his heart, the two sides seemed to be playing chess, they didn't go all out, but one by one, it is said that the Song soldiers are the defensive side, so it's okay to do this, the Jin soldiers are the attacking side, and they don't concentrate their forces to focus on breaking through, but slowly add oil to the battlefield south of Bianliang City, which is a bit unreasonable......
Wu Ge suddenly shouted: "General, the golden thief wants to lure the main force of our army out of the trench and fight a decisive battle with our army." ”
There was only this possibility, and Jin Bing hid the main force at first, for fear of scaring Song Bing back.
Wu Ge anxiously urged: "General, should you report to Wang Shuai?" It is said that the southern city defense is the jurisdiction of Wang Yu, and Huyangeng's grade is higher than Wu Ge, but Wu Ge did not shy away from it, so he suggested to Huyangeng.
Hu Yangeng said: "Wang Shuai is old in the military, and Zhong Lian has always been cautious and not bad. ”
As soon as the two of them talked like this, the Song army invested ten commanders on the southern battlefield, and the Jin soldiers also had six Meng'an enter the battlefield, and more than 10,000 people on both sides were entangled like bamboos between plum blossoms.
The foundation of the Shenwu Southern Army, Hu Yangeng knows, a total of 40,000 people, but 20,000 people have not been in battle, can only hide in the trench and release arrows, and now ten commanders are fighting in the trenches, accounting for a quarter of the army with combat power.
Hu Yangeng suddenly realized that he had taken one step less. The four walls of the Song army were guarded, and the four people were in charge of one side, and now the south of the city and the Shenwu Southern Army were fighting, and it was the East Route Army of Hulibu. If he hadn't initiated it, he could have invested more than 100,000 people of the Eastern Route Army in the south of the city, but it was impossible for Wang Yu to send the Song army from the east, north, and west to support him, even if Zhang Shuye couldn't move it.
To make matters worse, Muhan's Western Route Army was still attacking the salient on the west bank of the Cai River, which pinned down at least a quarter of the Shenwu Southern Army.
At this time, the situation on the battlefield has changed again, and the Jin soldiers who have been put into the battlefield already have the banner of Meng'an, but they are all less than 1,000 people under Meng'an, and there are also more than 10,000 people. And the concentration of the Song army in Bianliang City is difficult, and the strength between the "several" characters of Cai He is not far behind.
Huyan Geng looked to the west, and the bone division of the Sticky Han army also seemed to have crossed the Cai River and entered due south of Bianliang.
The two armies of Song and Jin were mixed together, and neither could easily escape, and whoever retreated first would be covered up and killed by the other party. The 20,000 men on the battlefield were like weights to be put on the table, either winning big or losing.
On the tower of the Nanxun Gate in the south, Qiu Muling Zhonglian has been commanding with a banner, and Puliu Ru Bosheng has already raised the banner, and when he arrived in the center of the battlefield, the Song army on the battlefield fought and walked, and approached around Puliu Ru Bosheng.
Now a rough circle has been formed around Puliuru Bosheng, and 10,000 Song troops are besieged by roughly the same number of Jin soldiers. Because of the formation of the battle, the losses of the Song army were even smaller.
At this time, the hour has passed. After throwing two more Meng'an into the battlefield, Jin Bing found that the Song army did not continue to refuel. At this time, farther south, a brigade of Jurchen cavalry emerged. The cavalry were grouped far away, and the trebuchets in the city would certainly not be able to beat them.
"The Tartar chieftain is about to release the winner." Hu Yangeng said to Wu Ge. He knew that there were about 10,000 people under Wang Yu's command who could be added to the battlefield, and then he would fill in the 20,000 rabble, and then ...... Without. The Song army was inferior in numbers compared to the Jin soldiers, and it was hoped that it would be made up for by the entrenchment, but today it seems to be ineffective.
At this time, the golden soldiers in the distance began to gallop slowly towards the battlefield. The trebuchets of the Song army also began to fire mud bombs, but the mud bombs could only be estimated to hit the path that the Jin soldiers had to pass. However, Jin Bing used methods such as sudden acceleration and deceleration, thinning the formation, etc., to easily dodge the blocking blow of the trebuchet. The first array of golden soldiers began to accelerate their charge, and the golden soldiers who had been attacking around the south of the circle slid towards the sides like flowing water.
The first heavy iron cavalry of the Jin soldiers was about to crash into the south of the Song soldiers' round formation, but who knew that the two commanders in front of the Song soldiers also withdrew with the Jin soldiers to both sides, and the round formation was like opening a door.
Jin Bing's iron cavalry has arrived in front of the formation, the speed has already increased, it is too late to turn or slow down, and in the formation of the Song army, a row of box cars has been pushed over, which looks like it is just a car formation, so Tiefutu will crash into it from here.
So the tail end of the three-talent array gradually retracted, and the iron cavalry entered through the gap, heading straight for the box cart in front, so strange, there was no spear above the cart array...... There was a flash of fire in front of him, a roar of cannons, and smoke.
"Fireworks?" Wu Ge, who was watching the battle in the southeast corner, asked, "The fireworks of the Lu Bo team." ”
"Yes, it is the fireworks commander of the Lubo team who leads the team, Wei Dingguo, who is known as the Shenhuo General." Hu Yangeng explained, "Each of these box cars is connected in parallel with forty large two-kickers, which is called Kaqiusha. ”
Twelve box cars, nearly 500 two kicks, have been released, the first formation of more than 600 cavalry has been completely chaotic, the front team collided with the rear team, half of the cavalry was knocked to the ground, trampled to death by the chaotic hooves, and half of them were blown up and dizzy, and were being attacked and killed by the Song soldiers in the inner formation, it seems that it will not be long before they will be killed.
The rear formation followed the brigade of Jin soldiers and cavalry, headed by Chi Zhanhui, he responded to the situation, although he saw that the first formation was thrown into chaos by fireworks and was about to be destroyed, but the Song army's circle array was missing a mouth It is also true, he immediately commanded the cavalry, continued to rush close to the gap of the Song army's round array, and then spread out to the two wings, which is equivalent to sticking to the inside of the Song army's round array.
Qiu Muling Zhonglian, who was commanding at the head of the city, couldn't help but be stunned, Jin Bing was frightened by the sudden fireworks, but he didn't collapse, he hurriedly turned sideways and reported to Wang Yu, who was sitting on the side: "Please allow the last general to let Leping charge into battle." "There are five hundred iron horsemen under the command of Lulu Guleping.
On the tower of the southeast city, Hu Yan Geng was explaining to Wu Ge: "This fireworks are still too weak, and the gunpowder still needs to be improved.
"Then why add a 'card' in front of it?"
Hu Yangeng was speechless for a while, and thought: "Wu Ge, you are listed in the "History of the Song Dynasty." The characters of "The Legend of Loyalty" actually chewed the words, so much nonsense, what does the card have to do with you? In a hurry, he said: "The card is the checkpoint, and a husband should be a pass." ”
"Ka Qiusha, it's really a good name." Wu Ge exclaimed, "As long as it is improved over time, it will be a militaristic weapon." ”
As he was talking, he saw a commanding iron horse rushing out of the Yujin Garden camp, Wu Ge said: "This is the chain of horses handed down by the master's family?" ”
"My uncle commented that the fire had not yet arrived."
When the iron cavalry of Lulu Gu Leping rushed into the battlefield, he broke up one of the Jin soldiers, and they ran rampant on the battlefield, and the Jin soldiers had to dispatch three Meng'an cavalry to chase him. For a time, Lulu Guleping stirred up the periphery of the Jin soldiers.
The banner at the head of the city swayed, and the commander of the flag holder had been replaced by Wang Yu.
