The bow and arrow used by the Jin army have a bow power of only seven buckets, the shaft of the arrow is extremely long, and the cluster of arrows is also up to six or seven inches, the shape is like a chisel, and it cannot be entered or exited. The Jin army was armed with such bows and arrows apparently to accommodate the mobility of the cavalry, since it was much more difficult to shoot a bow on a horse than on flat ground. However, at that time, bows and arrows with a bow power of seven buckets and a range of about fifty paces were obviously not considered advanced weapons.

The Song army ordinary class can open a strong bow with one stone and five buckets, and a fierce general like Yue Fei can "hold the bow three hundred catties", and the bow and arrow of seven buckets is the lowest configuration in the Song army, and strong bows of more than one stone abound, in addition to a large number of crossbow arrows, the strongest crossbow has a range of up to 1,000 steps, even the range of the divine arm bow equipped in the Song army at that time can reach 240 steps, and its lethality is far stronger than the bow and arrow of the Jin army.

However, this not advanced weapon made a great contribution to the Jin army's conquest, and successively defeated the Khitan and Song people, in fact, this is still related to the Jin army's cavalry advantage. Because the cavalry moved quickly, in terms of the range of the Song army's divine arm bow, the Jin army ran a distance of 240 paces in the field, and it only took about 20 seconds, and the Jin army could release an arrow within 50 steps from the Song army, and then rush into the Song army's position for white-knuckle combat.

The Song army's divine arm bow is a kind of stepping crossbow, although the range is long, but the rate of fire is very low, and only one arrow can be released in twenty seconds, that is to say, the two sides only have one chance to shoot each other in a charge, so that although the Song army's bow is strong, it can not take advantage, but will be in a disadvantageous state after the two armies are in close contact, due to the inconvenience of the bow and arrow to operate.

The wolf generals who accompanied Zhao Ta to Zhongshan had a total of five brigades in addition to the second desert brigade, and he assisted the Zhongshan army in defending the city with one brigade. Three brigades plus artillery brigades went out of the city to line up, and a total of 10,000 troops were dispatched. With the 3rd Brigade and the Artillery Brigade as the central army. The 4th and 5th Brigades are the two wings. The two flanks leaned forward, like the moon formations of the cavalry. If the enemy rushed into the central position, not only would they be in the air, but they would also be flanked on both sides, exposing themselves to the fire of both flanks of the Xijing army.

Because it was arranged according to the city, there was no need to worry about being attacked by the enemy on the back, but in order to protect the two wings and prevent the 'kidnapping horses' that the Jin army was accustomed to, Zhao Ta each arranged a machine gun team and built fortifications with sandbags. Bunkers were arranged, and the 1st Guards Brigade was hidden within the city gates as a force for assault and pursuit. The infantry in the array used several columns of concentrated fire to increase their firepower, and their repeater guns could fire five rounds in a row after the enemy entered the firing range.

Now Zhao Ta has the advantage of tactical defense, he only defends and does not attack, and gives the initiative of the offensive to the Jin army. In order to consume the vitality of the enemy's army, and then buy time for Zhao Lian, who is really determined to attack by surprise, then it is necessary to wait for the opponent to attack. And Orbu and Shulie were taken aback by the fierce firepower, and they also wanted to wait for the Song army to take the initiative to attack first. Because it is difficult to guarantee the formation of the infantry army when it is in motion, then they can take advantage of the advantage of the cavalry to take advantage of the opportunity to break the formation.

After noon, Orbu saw that the Song army still had no intention of taking the initiative to attack, so he ordered a meal. And he himself took off his armor and put on the clothes of an ordinary soldier and scattered among the army. His purpose in doing this was to lure the enemy into disbanding the meal as well. And they can take the opportunity to launch a surprise attack on them.

However, the performance of the Song army disappointed Orbu, because of the strict military discipline and harsh training of the Zhongxing army. No one is allowed to leave the position, sit or lie down or eat without an order. However, it was not that they were not allowed to eat anything, but everyone could only stand still and eat, eat some dry food that they had brought with them, and they were not allowed to lay down their weapons, but they were ready to fight.

Seeing that the Song army was not fooled and could not make a living, he ordered Yixiao to put on the captured Song army armor and show off his might in front of the battle, so as to provoke the Song army, but he was not stupid, and he had been riding a horse a hundred paces away in a circle.

A hundred steps is a safe distance for them, but for the Lianzhu gun is within the effective range, the sergeants of the Zhongxing Army know that this is a very valuable target, once he is shot, at least 100 yuan of money is in hand, but without the general's order, several marksmen can only secretly aim their guns at the enemy general.

'Toot toot...' two short trumpets suddenly sounded, which was the signal for free fire, and the guns rang out one after another, and several guns were fired almost simultaneously from different angles, and the happy fellow, who was playing with the cheers of his companions, immediately fell from his horse, and Orbu immediately ordered the men to come forward and hold the running war horses, but the man was bleeding everywhere and was not saved.

Stealing chickens and rice, he wanted to anger the Song army, but now he angered Orbu himself, he began to attack with his whole army, and the battle officially began!

The Jin army did not notice the hidden killing opportunities on the two wings of the Song army, they directly attacked the central phalanx, as a result, the cavalry in the center was blocked by the fierce artillery fire, and the cavalry on both sides was shot over by the continuous guns of concentrated fire, it was really like a flying locust, the cannon was like a thunderbolt, and immediately hundreds of Jin soldiers fell off their horses, these horses were disturbed by the sound of guns, and ran around without control, causing even greater chaos in the ranks of the Jin army's charge...

The battle continued until nightfall, and only the first charge seemed organized, and then the forces were assembled sporadically and fought separately. It was almost dusk when the Song army began to attack, and at this time the Jin army had no strength to resist, and immediately retreated, wanting to retreat behind the infantry to take a breather and fight again.

At this time, the disadvantages of the temporary formation of the team appeared again, the infantry would be mistaken, but thought that the cavalry wanted to leave them and escape, so they did not widen their interval to allow the cavalry to pass through and contain them, nor did they stand firm to block the Song army from assisting the cavalry, but ran ahead of the cavalry.

The weakness of the infantry was evident, they could not outrun on four legs, and the Guards Brigade then came out of the city, and then covered up, which caused even more confusion. It was already dark, and the Jin army fled the way they came, trying to return to Zhending, but when they came to the ferry where there was no one in the time and space, there were already people waiting there, and they were greeted by the continuous sound of firearms.

In the chaos, the Jin army began to kill each other, which is a common thing in night battles, the soldiers who were desperate jumped into the river, but the nomads living in the interior were really not flattering, and they drank a belly round one by one before they floated up from the bottom of the river and floated away.

When the time arrived, the large-scale fighting stopped, but the battle was not over, and the Jurchens who fled at night did not have a good end, and the people of the Song Dynasty, who had been bullied, spontaneously organized themselves to intercept and chase the Jin army that fled to their own territory, and the corpses of the Jin army were full from the city to the bank of the Shahe River.

At the end of the battle, after the war, more than 10,000 Jin soldiers were killed, and almost no prisoners were taken, even after a few days, there were still people carrying the heads of Jin soldiers to the mansion to ask for merit, which shows that the people of Hebei were deeply poisoned by the Jin people, and the soldiers and civilians hated them to the core. Wounded by a stray bullet during the retreat, Orbu was taken prisoner to the city, where he spent the last part of his life.

Shulie escaped by luck, crossed the Sand River to collect the remnants of the army only four or five thousand, he did not dare to stay for a long time, after dawn to Zhending retreat, but halfway to meet the sergeant who escaped from Zhending, reported that Zhending had been opened by a group of unknown righteous brave last night, lost Zhending City, the city guards will be killed, and the baggage will fall into the hands of the enemy. Shulie had no choice but to lead the remnants of the army to bypass Zhending and retreat south!

The first battle of Zhongshan, annihilating tens of thousands of enemies, recovering the town of Zhending, this is the biggest victory achieved in the Lianghe region since the invasion of the Jin army.

Since the day of the Jin invasion, the resistance struggle of the Han army and people has not stopped for a moment. Although the country has died, but in the north and south of the river, inside and outside the capital, there are still Zongze's marshal army, the resistance and struggle of the people in the Lianghe area will be surging, large and small rebel army ranks are like cattle hair, the total scale is incalculable, they are not willing to be enslaved by the Jin people, and they do not lack the courage to fight with the Jin people to the end!

The Central Plains is swinging, the sea is boiling, it is the time for heroes to spread their wings, but the highest level of society was suddenly lifted off, for a while the dragons have no leader, the resistance can not be integrated, even if there are capable ministers and fierce generals, there is no place for them, the two rivers are all fighting for themselves, lack of unified deployment, not only can not achieve the ideal effect of resisting gold, sometimes even play a reverse role. The only thing missing now is a banner that can bring them together.

After hearing the victory of Zhongshan, the deputy marshal of the Generalissimo's Mansion, Zong Ze, was shocked, and he was extremely depressed these days. When he saw the generalissimo Zhao Gou in the daimyo that day, he immediately said loudly with an angry expression: "The capital has been under siege for a long time, and the reinforcements cannot be slowed down. ”

Zhao Gou was greatly admired after hearing this, and at that time he gave Zong Ze 10,000 horses, and ordered him to enter the king of Beijing Qin, Zong Ze happily led the troops back to Henan to recruit troops and buy horses, ready to aid Bianjing, but he didn't know that on the night he left, Zhao Gou opened the north gate of Xiangzhou and fled to the Daimyo's Mansion, and later fled all the way to Jeju, letting him go back just to escape under his cover, and the other purpose was to get rid of him by the hand of the Jin army.

At this time, the situation in Tokyo was very severe, Zong Ze was heartbroken, but not discouraged, he led the army many times to win more with less, which dealt a heavy blow to the Jin army, and in just a few months, this veteran has shocked the north and the south, and has become a banner on the main battlefield of anti-Jin.

Hearing that the "Great Chu" was established, the two emperors went north, and couldn't help crying, Zong Ze immediately led troops from Shanzhou to Huazhou after hearing the news, preparing to cross the river to intercept and rob the two emperors. At the same time, he asked Zhao Gou to lead his troops to support, and his move frightened the retreating Jin army at night and did not even dare to make fire. But the Qinwang troops that Zong Ze hoped for did not even appear in a shadow... (To be continued......)
