Chapter 253: Decisive Battle (1)
The iron cavalry charged, brave and unstoppable, accompanied by the rout of the Southern Wu army.
General Weiyuan, who left the boundary of Jinling, was like a flood bursting the embankment, leading the armies of the Northern Tang Dynasty to push sideways all the way, beating those soldiers and horses who had other thoughts, especially those who wanted to cooperate with Jin'an.
Facts have proved that when they arrived at this field, the state of Nanwu was much better, but the road ahead was still difficult, and General Weiyuan still had the power to destroy them.
Jinling was lost, and the Northern Tang army was almost crazy, and everywhere it passed, it was like the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, and many troops were wiped out by them.
Several cities changed hands again and returned to the hands of the Northern Tang people.
On the other hand, Jin An in Jinling City was unresponsive and silent, as was Wu Huang Ji Ruhai.
They were very calm.
As for General Weiyuan, although he was fierce, he wandered around Jinling intentionally or unintentionally.
The two sides don't know if it's out of a tacit understanding, or because they feel some danger to each other, and they are waiting for some follow-up.
In July, the news of the Northern Tang Yulin, Shenwu, Longwu, Left and Right Guards, and some capital cities forbidding reinforcements reached Jinling City.
General Weiyuan's soldiers and horses are fighting more and more, and he is deliberately gathering troops.
As long as the Southern Wu troops on the surface get close, they will usher in destruction, but the real power in the dark has also been assembled.
On the third day of the seventh month, General Weiyuan entered the Jinling realm again.
Jin'an and Guanlian Hall went out of Jinling City.
This also means that Jin An will no longer deliberately be a turtle with a shrunken head to avoid General Weiyuan, and in fact, there is not much food and grass in Jinling City.
General Weiyuan will no longer be entangled in whether to besiege the city or solve the troubles outside of Jin'an first.
The eyes of the people of the world have been cast on the Jinling realm, and a decisive battle is really about to break out.
Jin An couldn't afford to wait, he couldn't wait for the reinforcements from the Northern Tang Dynasty to arrive, and General Weiyuan also understood this.
The 50,000 troops assembled by the Northern Tang Dynasty led by General Changwu confronted the soldiers and horses of Jiang Tunshui, Zhu Weijiang, and Zhao Yanshuang.
Fighting all the way, these three young men not only became stronger and stronger, but also raised enough soldiers and horses, and some of the rebel armies of Southern Wu and the armies of various places also gathered under the influence of the Southern Wu Secret Mansion under their hands, so there were about 60,000 people.
And the more than 10,000 troops of Guan Liandian and Jin An were also facing General Weiyuan's 20,000 troops outside the city.
A total of about 150,000 troops from both sides gathered in Jinling, and it was a great change.
The news of the decisive battle spread all over the world at this moment.
……
……
Many people don't believe in miracles, but miracles do exist.
Three or four months ago, no one thought that Southern Wu would have the strength to fight against the Northern Tang, because even their royal division had collapsed, and Jinling had fallen into the hands of the enemy.
It was the darkest moment, so many people were numb - because the resistance would not succeed, there was no hope, it was just a vain death and injury, and perhaps it was the most comfortable choice to accept the rule of the Northern Tang Dynasty.
Time passed, wars raged everywhere, feng shui took turns, and Jinling returned to the hands of the Southern Wu people.
Southern Wu had the strength to fight with the Northern Tang Dynasty, and even the strength to fight a decisive battle.
Just today, led by some young people with faith in their hearts!
The deployment of the armies of both sides at this time was very distinctive.
The armies of Jin'an and Guan Lian Jeon turned their backs to the city, facing south.
General Weiyuan's army was facing Jinling City in the north, as well as Jin An and others.
The troops of Jiang Tunshui and others were in the southeast direction of Jinling City.
And General Changwu is like General Weiyuan, who is facing the river in the south to swallow them.
In the early morning, the morning light broke, and the two sides continued to face each other, and there was no movement.
Silence, death-like silence.
The clouds above the sky are rolling again, and the wind is so strong today.
The huge difference between heaven and earth has left a certain eerie atmosphere in this war.
In such a depression, Guan Kuo couldn't help but touch his hand to his waist, feeling that Qin Kill was still there, and he was a little relieved.
Their combined forces with Jiang Tunshui and others don't seem to be much different from the Northern Tang Dynasty, but in terms of combat effectiveness alone, in such a situation, they will be at an absolute disadvantage.
But they couldn't wait any longer.
There are many factors that contribute to the success of a battle, and if only in terms of combat effectiveness, then many battles do not need to be fought.
Jin An gave hope to the people of Southern Wu, and the recovery of Dawu was just around the corner, as long as this difficulty was passed, the front was flat.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
……
Two miles away, the sound of war drums sounded faintly.
Everyone knew that this was the signal for General Changwu to attack.
The people here can't see the scene there clearly, and no one will know what Jiang Tunshui will face, and whether they are sure to fight against General Changwu.
General Weiyuan still had no intention of attacking.
Under the handsome banner, his expression was grim.
He was a little excited about today's upcoming victory, but the grievances of so many days could not be eliminated in a short period of time.
Fortunately, it's all coming to an end.
He gave the order.
The drums of war sounded, and the army slowly pressed forward, marching with the wind, approaching the enemy.
Jin An understands that a big war is inevitable, and at the same time, he must win the opportunity to join forces with Jiang Tunshui, so that there is a possibility of defeating the other party. And it is clear that General Weiyuan will not give him this opportunity.
At the beginning of the battle, General Changwu's troops were divided to the south and west of Jiang Tunshui and others, blocking their route to Jin'an.
And General Weiyuan, with the signal of the drumming march, the first to make a move was the three thousand armored iron horsemen.
They detoured back to the east of Jin'an, and at the same time formed an iron wall and charged towards his line.
The iron cavalry is strong and difficult to resist, that is the cognition of almost everyone.
In the fight against the nomads, including the Tuurs, the cavalry was found to be as terrible as a flood of beasts, but the saddest thing was that in this day and age there were very few ways to fight it.
Different people have different methods, some put up a shield wall gun formation, and some people try to increase the power of long-range attacks, behind the infantry array.
But among them, there is one method that is the most effective, and the simplest and crude.
That is - cavalry to cavalry.
As a result, the Northern Tang Iron Cavalry came into being, and the cavalry units of the Iron Horse Army were also the best among the Iron Cavalry.
However, the Iron Horse Army has long since existed in name only.
Today's Jin An is facing a situation that is not much different from the above, and on the opposite side of them is the fierce and irresistible Northern Tang Iron Cavalry.
His response was as simple and brutal as it was - cavalry for cavalry.
