Chapter 172: The Remnant Sun Reflects Blood
What Zong Han didn't know was that the most trusted Han cook around him was the meticulous work of the Song people. His breakthrough agreement with Zong Bi had already been sent to the desk of Fei Lun, the head of the pedestrian division, and was known to the generals of the Song army. The day before yesterday, Zong Bi saw the drumming and rushing killing, but it was just an illusion that the commander of the Song army, Qu Duan, was planning to lure the other party into charging the battle.
After calculating the direction and method of the enemy's impact, Quduan naturally arranged the strongest generals and troops of the Western Army in the place where the enemy was most likely to attack.
The person guarding this area is the famous general Wu Jue in later generations. He is now just an ordinary general of the Western Army, in fact, his talent Zhao Huan has long known, and he is very much appreciated.
In the history books of later generations, after the Fuping War, the Song army was defeated, the officials in Guanxi ran or surrendered, and the entire army was scattered and had no combat power. After Yan Zongbi led an army of 100,000 to rush to kill, he wanted to withstand the pressure at the critical moment of winning Guanshan and retaking Sichuan, and finally relied on the powerful crossbowmen of the Western Army to kill from a distance, relying on the original favorable terrain of the monks, arrows were like rain, and the golden soldiers who shot could not get close, and finally joined forces with Wu Luan to rush and chase, and the 100,000 gold soldiers killed were defeated and fled. The allusion of the Three Kingdoms written by the Ming people, Cao Cao's cutting his beard and changing his robe, is actually based on the record of this person's exquisite command.
In front of the two brothers and the elite of the Western Army, coupled with the cover of distance and obstacles, with nearly 20,000 crossbowmen, a large number of enemies were shot, and when the sudden speed rushed to the front of the formation, the sharpness had been completely lost. There's really no ability to break the formation.
It's just that the golden soldiers are strong and brave, even if the strongest kidnapping horse and Tiefutu no longer exist, and the rest are also frightened birds, at this moment, the whole army knows that this is the only last chance, and the blood and courage of the Jurchen knights are fully revealed, although there are not many remnant troops, but they are like a sharp blade. Directly inserted into the sword players and spearmen of Wu Jue's department, with the help of the natural advantage of cavalry over infantry, the other party did not have a steel monster like heavy infantry to contend with.
Wu Jue's face was calm, but he was extremely nervous in his heart, he gave orders again and again, and the generals of the guards around him were sent to the front to fight with the enemy, and even saw the enemy so fierce. He also sent out the Chinese army under his command. But because this group of golden soldiers has the will to die, the main general's sudden speed is even more ferocious, as the general of the sect. An arrow in the body, but it is brave, the long knife in the hand is wielded, every knife down, is a human life, even if the Western army is elite, but the infantry against the cavalry is a great loss, plus the other party and other soldiers, if they die, they don't care about their lives at all, they are completely trying to make money by fighting one to save their capital and fight two. Although the Song army was elite, with more than 10,000 foot soldiers, it was almost unable to withstand the impact of more than 3,000 Jurchen cavalry.
And not far away, you can faintly see 30,000 Jurchen knights, black armor like clouds, trotting towards this battlefield, and after a while, they will rush over.
Wu Jue's face was pale, and he was about to rush to kill himself. But when he saw the banner not far away, and the banner of the word "song" was clearly visible, he was taken aback, and said in his heart: "Even if this is a little difficult, all the hundreds of thousands of troops will come over in a while, where do you need the commander to go into battle in person?" ”
Although he was puzzled in his heart, he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly stepped forward, and when the flag was a little closer, he saw clearly, it turned out to be the general of the Chinese army at Quduan, leading the commander of the thousands of elite soldiers of the Chinese army, including nearly a thousand cavalry, in a hurry.
He stepped forward and said to Chongji: "General Chong, you are not the commander of the Chinese army, how dare you come here without authorization." ”
The sound of killing on the battlefield shook the sky, and Wu Jue was about to go into battle in person, and when he saw this young imperial officer here, he naturally wouldn't have any good temper to greet him.
Besides, the other party is a child of a kind family, and the Wu family is also a friend in the army, and the two families are constantly in contact, and Wu Jue is trained to plant a few words, and it doesn't matter much.
Chongji originally followed Zhao Huan when he was in the Five Kingdoms, and traveled all the way back to Chang'an, Fei Lun and Zhi Yanshi and others were each reused, and Xue Qiang was also because of his smart mind, in fact, he became the commander of the Eastern Forbidden Army, with a high position.
And because of his simple nature, he is not good at scheming, and his martial arts are not too proud, so he was sent to the Western Army as a deputy general as a royal belt, and Zhao Huan originally meant that he would make more military exploits and reuse them after tempering. There have been no major battles in the Western Army in recent years, and the extreme talent is not very outstanding, and there is no particularly dazzling performance. After a few years, he was only reluctantly promoted to deputy commander, and after Qu Duan became the commander, he was appointed as the commander of the Chinese army, which is actually a few points inferior to the general of the commanding level.
His face was full of excitement at this time, and he didn't care about the rudeness in Wu Jue's words, he only hugged his fist to the other party, and hurriedly said: "The marshal said that the first battle is important, and the morale and momentum of the Jin soldiers must be beaten, and the rest of the generals' foot soldiers and troops need time, and the Chinese army is carefully selected elite, and there are cavalry, so he ordered the last general to come to help in the battle." ”
"Oh."
Wu Jue nodded slightly, knowing that Qu Duan was worthy of being a veteran for many years, and his judgment was clear and accurate, which was admirable. It's just that he looked at Chongji, only to feel that the other party was too young, and he was afraid that he was inexperienced and could not fully exert the effectiveness of this new team.
He had the intention of sending his henchman general to command, and he knew that the battle could be even worse, so he had to nod his head and respond: "The general is right, he needs the help of the Chinese army at this time." ”
Chongji was already very excited, he and the Jin country are not only national hatred, but also family hatred, many of his father and grandfather died in the early days of the Jin invasion, which made the young man at that time hate it to the bone. And at this moment, with elite soldiers in hand, he wants to fight with the enemy, which makes the blood boiling in the heart of this bloody man, and it is difficult to suppress.
At that moment, he waved his hand and shouted: "Kill with me." ”
did not wait for his subordinates to follow the order, he waved the big sword in his hand, took the lead, and rushed forward.
In the past few years, he has been practicing hard every day because of his self-hatred that martial arts are not better than others, and at this time he is already a martial arts courage and a little more than ordinary people, and he rushed to the end, and when he got to the place where the two armies fought, he got a golden soldier alone, and the other party was already split in two by him.
Behind him, thousands of elites of the Chinese army also rushed to the battlefield and fought with the crazy Jurchen cavalry.
The other party originally rushed to kill Wu Jue's foot formation was hard enough, and there were archers with excellent archery skills behind the formation to shoot arrows to help the battle, and the cavalry who were hit by the arrows either fell off their horses, or their combat power was weakened, and they were stabbed off their horses with spears by the foot soldiers.
Tuhesu knew that the situation was not good, he was about to exhaust all his strength, the arrow wound on his thigh was still bleeding, and he was faintly painful, and he insisted until now, and he was about to get the results, and Zong Bi behind him had already rushed over with his subordinates, and he knew in his heart whether he was expected to rush through the enemy formation, and the opportunity was only in front of him.
At that moment, he roared, took his own soldiers and hundreds of cavalry, and killed Chongji and the others head-on. Seeing that there was an enemy general rushing over, although he was unknown, he must also be a high-ranking officer of the enemy, and his spirit was greatly lifted at the moment, and with a swing of the long knife in his hand, he first cut off an enemy soldier who was struggling hard, and then killed him himself.
When his own soldiers saw that the Lord would be like this, they did not dare to slack off at the moment, and they also followed.
In this way, a small group of cavalry of more than a hundred horsemen immediately gathered around Tane Ji, and the small group of cavalry of the sudden rate leader immediately collided together.
The two cavalry, red and black, fought silently on this chaotic battlefield.
At the beginning, the Jin soldiers still had a slight upper hand with their superior martial arts and experience, but after a few rounds, the Song army relied on their morale and abundant physical strength to defeat the Jin soldiers, who were already at the end of the crossbow, without the strength to fight back. Soon, the black cavalry fought less and less, and became less and less of an opponent. Although Tuhesu cut down a few Song troops, his eyes were already black, and he was powerless to fight again. The personal soldiers around him were also tired and out of strength, so they could only protect the main general and slowly retreat.
The seed pole saw it clearly, swung the knife straight up, cut over the pro-soldiers around the sudden speed, slashed straight over, and the sudden speed waved the knife to block, but was hit by the seed pole with a knife, after a spark, the long knife of the sudden speed was out of his hand, and the knife was unabated, and a knife was slashed in the chest of the sudden speed, and the opponent was cut off the horse.
The main general was killed, and the remnants of the knights in the Sudden Speed Department were immediately in chaos, if it weren't for the sound of horses' hooves behind them, Zong Bi would have led the army to arrive, but he was afraid that they would turn their horses' heads and run away immediately.
When Zong Bi led the whole army to arrive, all the units of the Song army also arrived, and the formation was completed.
As usual, the Song army gathered more and more, and the more brave the battle, nearly 200,000 troops surrounded the cavalry in the formation, and slowly surrounded on all sides, so that the enemy did not break out of the encirclement.
At the beginning, Zong Bi still had hope in his heart, waiting to rush left and right, although the other party's front was unstable several times, but like a rock, he always held the impact of the Jin soldiers, and when the battle reached noon, he knew in his heart that it was already a situation where the whole army was annihilated. If the order to retreat is ordered at this time, although the Song army is encircled, the main force is in the north, if it breaks through from the south, there can still be thousands of remnants of the army to escape, but when he thought that after escaping, he would be driven around by the Song army like a dog, Zong Bi made up his mind that he would rather die than escape.
