Chapter 141: The Scarlet Battlefield
First of all, there were more than 1,000 people under his command, and then all the soldiers of Shengjie and the Urging Front Army, who shouted together with Yang Zaixing's shout: "Kill, kill the thief!" ”
Iron waves-like foot army swept up, like an iron wave rolling, the first Mo knife hand obliquely raised the Mo knife, like a wall to advance, a meeting of the enemy, hundreds of thousands of people together to swing the knife, the broad and sharp blade immediately smashes the enemy, whether it is the opponent's armored soldiers, or not bound armor people, when all of them are smashed, no one is a united enemy.
More than 20,000 people put up a wide front, constantly advancing towards the enemy formation, like a strong wall, no one can stop its advance, let the enemy battle drum gong sound, the flag waved, one by one the new battalion soldiers took over, but there is still no way to block the advance of the infantry army, but for half an hour, the infantry army not only blocked the enemy's attack, but pushed the battle line back again and again, the enemy except for leaving a corpse, there is no way to think about it.
The situation was unfavorable, Li Cheng finally couldn't hold it back, in addition to sending the supervising team forward, desperately urging the soldiers under his command to resist, and sending all his own Chinese army battalion to the front, in addition, the cavalry under his command was also all dispatched, iron hooves on the ground, like thunder, swooping towards the front line.
Li Cheng's cavalry has been trained by the Jin soldiers, and the horses that step off the war horses are also first-class horses, and even the battle armor on his body is also a high-grade product created by pseudo-Qi as pants.
It's just that the good cavalry meets the bad general, the place where Li Cheng's cavalry is deployed, it is the most rugged place on this battlefield, the small-scale battle is acceptable, the large-scale cavalry of nearly 20,000 people rushed over, but it can't be used at all, the cavalry of the brigade is clustered together, and it is impossible to open the queue at all, and the fierce killing generals from the rear of the army formation are not long over, and before the Song army can stop it, because of the unfavorable terrain, he slowed down his horse pace. Slowly moving forward, waiting for the expected duel with the cavalry of the Song army.
Unexpectedly, when they rushed forward slightly, they collided head-on with the two armies of Yue Fei's front army and the Chinese army.
These two armies were not cavalry, there were few war horses, and their equipment was not as good as that of the infantry armies, and there were no new weapons such as chariot formations and Mo knives. But on the whole, whether it's the stomach. Martial arts, morale, weapons, organizational system, transfer orders, and formation drills are far stronger than all the armies under Li Cheng's command.
At this time, in front of the surging cavalry of the enemy, the infantry with the same number as the enemy was not panicked at all, and the commanders of the two armies, Meng Bangjie and Zhao Bingyuan, were also veteran generals who had experienced a hundred battles, and first escorted the cavalry. Repel small groups of wandering enemy forces. When the enemy cavalry rushed not far away, they waved red flags, beat drums and gongs. Arrange your subordinates in a formation against the enemy, and when the enemy cavalry is a little closer, a large number of crossbowmen in the rear immediately stepped forward to cover the shot, and the crackling sound of strong bows and arrows is endless, and the black and oppressive arrows cover the sky and keep shooting towards the center of the enemy cavalry.
The exclusive text version of this work was first published, and may not be reproduced without consent, excerpts, for more of the latest and fastest chapters, please visit: cn! The Song army is good at bows and arrows, and there is even an army in which the landlord war arms are all equipped with archers, and the history books record that Zongbi tried to seize Sichuan, and committed the monk Yuan, and the Song general Wu Jie's brothers led the dead soldiers to guard the pass. The strong shooting did not stop, and he did not fight with the enemy cavalry at all, but he kept shooting arrows by relying on the geographical advantage, and he actually suffered a crushing defeat in the future Jin soldiers, and even the main general Zong Bi was hit by two arrows, and he did not dare to attack Sichuan from then on.
Yue Fei's army originally had a large number of crossbowmen, but later the number of infantry troops was increased, and more cavalry were added, and only those with good archery power were selected among the original archers to remain. At this time, in the middle and first two armies, although there were not many archers, the arrows shot were accurate and steady, and for a time the opposite cavalry cried wolf howls, and the arrows fell off the horse, and were limited by the geographical advantage, so they had to have a dense conical formation to rush forward The war horses stepped into meat in the blink of an eye.
In front of the cavalry, there are a large number of spearmen and knife players, spearmen in front, knife players on the side, thousands of spears and spears are erected like a dense forest, the former are all instantly picked up, and the knife players are covering the archers at the same time, picking up the omissions, constantly slashing and axes, and cutting down the cavalry who expose their sides off their horses.
In this way, the infantry armies of the central battlefield advanced rapidly, and the middle and first two armies blocked the enemy's cavalry attack, and it was obvious that on the terrain where the cavalry was not conducive to galloping assault, the ground cavalry under Li Cheng not only could not continue to advance, but would even be defeated and flee.
On the battlefield within a radius of dozens of miles, I saw red and black soldiers hiding and killing in one place, the sound of killing shook the sky, blood sprayed on the ground, and slowly gathered into small streams, slowly flowing in the black and humid land of the Central Plains.
Li Cheng kept dispatching troops, from the ragtag strong men at the beginning, to the armored soldiers, and finally sent the treasure Chinese army at the bottom of his box to the front, the military camp was empty, and almost even the remaining troops in the conservative camp were also sent out, but he only saw the continuous rout, rout, and rout in front of him.
He saw the cavalry defeat, far away, as if he heard the screams of the cavalry soldiers in front of him after being stabbed into hedgehogs, the dull sound of landing and dull sounds, the crackling sound of broken ribs trampled by the horse's hooves was endless, bright red blood and white brains were flying in the air, and the army of 200,000 people, all of them were pushed forward, but it was like a storm crashing on the shore, although their side used all their strength, the black angry waves kept impacting the opponent's defense line, and the Song army soldiers of more than 60,000 people were silent rocks, and they easily defeated the attacks again and again. Repulsion, disintegration.
Li Cheng's forehead was sweating, and his eyes were full of despair and unwillingness.
People like him are born stupid and self-confident at the same time, although they have failed to Yue Fei again and again, they always think that they will be able to get it back next time. Who knows that the opponent still has a good hand and ends up losing his pants.
He has no soldiers to send, the iron-armored monster composed of steel armor and Mo knife, although it is not advancing quickly, it is invincible, his 200,000 army is like a huge piece of tofu, in front of the enemy's sharp blade, only the fate of being slaughtered.
Although he is stupid, but after all, he has been fighting horses for many years, and the war has been going on at this time, although he still maintains suppression of the Song army on the surface, Li Cheng understands in his heart that the opponent's cavalry has retreated and rested when the infantry armor army is out of battle, but a few cooperate with the infantry to protect the two wings of the infantry armor, the main force retreats to rest, recuperate, the other party only uses 40,000 people, has already withstood his own attack, and on the frontal battlefield, he is forced to send the Chinese army out, but the other party is careless, Still step by step forward press.
The pressure of Nuo Da made Li Cheng tremble, his generals were all sent out, only Zhao Yong, who had raised troops with him back then, had been following him, at this time the form on the battlefield was changing rapidly, on his and Li Cheng's side, just some middle and lower-level pro-army generals, these people were more than loyal, but their abilities were too far behind, he knew that the defeat was imminent, he turned his head to look at the sides around him, and secretly stepped forward and whispered to Li Cheng: "Dashuai, this place can't stand it, while there is no rout yet, the last general is here to command, How about the master leaving first with his own soldiers? ”
Li Cheng also knew that no matter how difficult it was to support, he had the heart to retreat a long time ago, but he was always unwilling. He also understands in his heart that he has committed a lot of evil, first a thief and a giant thief, burned and looted in the territory of the Song Dynasty, and then was driven and defeated, but he surrendered to the pseudo-Qi, in order to gain the favor of the Jurchens, he led troops to invade the border every year, although he was repeatedly defeated, but he also suffered a large number of people on the border, killed many civil officials and military generals, and the lives in his hands could not be counted. With the temperament of the current emperor Zhao Huan, even if he surrenders, it will be difficult for him to save his life.
I had to nod my head and agree right now, but I just thought of so many years of hard work, and I gave up in vain, and it was really difficult to make a decision in my heart.
Zhao Yong saw him hesitate, because he knew that his fame and wealth were in the hands of this person, he couldn't help but persuade bitterly: "Today's defeat, collect the remnants of the defeated generals, there are always a lot of people, let's retreat to Xijing, most of the people who can hold the city can do it, I think these iron army is slow, the armor is too heavy, it is impossible to attack the city, we just need to refuse to defend the city, and when the Jurchens come, there is still hope that Xu Tu will recover." ”
Li Cheng knew that the other party was just comforting himself and refusing to defend Xijing Luoyang, which is naturally good, at least he can atone for his sins, just look at today's momentum, how much the defeated army can escape back, and how many are henchmen, and whether it is sophisticated, there is no bottom in his heart, if after this defeat, he can't collect the defeated troops at all, the enemy takes advantage of the situation to sweep Xijing, capture Zhengzhou, return to Germany, and even go straight down to Kaifeng, then then the pseudo-Qi will no longer exist, and whether Allah is willing to support him again as a puppet, it is really not asked.
He hesitated, but Yue Fei didn't give him time to think about it. Seeing that the Debu army was overwhelmed, and the enemy also dispatched the Chinese army, and even Li Cheng's banner moved forward, it was obvious that he did his best. He knew that although the infantry army attacked sharply, because the armor was too heavy, and the weapon used was very powerful, even if the soldiers were carefully selected warriors, it would not be able to last. And at this moment, the enemy's sharp energy has been completely lost, and it is already the end of the strong crossbow, as long as they are given another heavy blow, the defeat will be irreversible.
Yue Fei looked around and saw that Gao Chong, Yue Yun, Xu Qing and others were by his side, these people had their own beloved sons, Xu Qing was the favorite general he liked the most, and Gao Zhong was a brave general, he was very happy in his heart, but he also had a small regret, but unfortunately in such a magnificent battle, the opponent on the opposite side was stupid and stupid, and he was not a Jurchen, so it was indeed a lot of fun.
He secretly hoped in his heart that in the near future, he would definitely give the Jurchens a heavy blow on the frontal battlefield, and defeat the Jurchen Iron Cavalry with a dignified and upright army.
Seeing that everyone was eager to try, Yue Fei knew that it was the right time to attack at this time, so he said categorically: "All the monarchs are loyal and righteous, and serve the monarch of the country, it is the right time, and you must fight to the death!" Back danger, step on white, travel the three armies, all attack, must succeed in a battle! ”
