Chapter 57: Tactics

Soon, the charge ended, and both sides lost their natural speed and turned into close-quarters hand-to-hand combat.

Without the speed of the cavalry, such a way of fighting seems very ridiculous, but at this time on the battlefield, no one can laugh.

Fan Zhuoyuan is still at the forefront, at this time it is almost equivalent to a chaotic battle, and command is meaningless, and he can only rely on the usual training and courage of the soldiers.

As the main general, he relied on his martial arts to perform the Ten Bloody Battles on his horse, and when he saw the place where the Jin army was assembled, he stepped forward to kill them, forcing them to fight the Xiaojie army in a relatively loose formation.

Jin Bing and Xiao Jie Jun threw away the useless spears in their hands at the same time, and each drew his short weapon.

The soldiers are armed with iron bones and maces, and the golden soldiers also have maces.

Both sides are armor-piercing weapons, and no one can carry them if they are smashed on the head.

But the Xiaojie army is shoulder to shoulder, people are next to each other, and when they swing the hammer, they are smashed vertically from top to bottom at the same time.

The loose formation of the golden soldiers is conducive to the play of personal martial arts, but no matter how strong the personal martial arts are, at the same time, in the face of four or five hammers, they can't resist it.

A bearded golden soldier shouted loudly, and his companion who was still on his horse had died in the hedge, and he also pierced one of his opponents with his spear.

Immediately afterwards, he wanted to turn the horse's head and leave, but soon the Song cavalry pressed up, and the kung fu of turning the horse's head must not be as fast as the opponent's frontal pursuit.

So he simply turned back to fight, intending to kill two people and scare his opponent back, and then distance himself to the rear and prepare to charge.

As a result, he didn't expect his mace to smash at one person, but two of them blocked it with iron bones.

Then the four hammers slammed into his face, and he raised his mace to block two, but hit the other two, one in the arm holding the mace, and the other in the chest.

Because he was wearing two layers of heavy armor and lined with protection, he only felt a tightness in his chest at that moment, and it was no big deal.

But after a blow on the arm, I immediately felt pain in my bone marrow, and my bones seemed to have been smashed.

In the past, on the battlefield, he had scared off several Liao soldiers with his roar, as long as these Song soldiers were as timid as the Liao, then he could still pull out the short axe on his waist and continue to fight.

However, the Song army in front of him, from the ghost armor, all he saw were scarlet eyes full of hatred.

The other party is not even afraid of others, how can he be afraid of roaring.

The four hammers struck again, and before the Jurchen warrior could even take out the short axe at his waist, he received two heavy blows on the head, smashing his skull through the helmet, and the other two hammers directly knocked him off his horse.

This kind of thing happened on every front line of the confrontation, and the Song army, which had the advantage of formation and numbers, almost crushed the opponent with a devastating momentum after a short stalemate.

Seeing this, the personnel in the rear of Jin Junfeng's loss hurriedly turned their horses' heads and went back.

At this time, the Jin soldiers who swam ashore in the rear saw this, and their jaws dropped in shock, and the Jin cavalry, which had always been invincible, was directly defeated in the face of the first wave of charges, and they fought more and less!

Moreover, the main general died in battle, and the command was automatically transferred to the deputy general who commanded the crossing, and after he saw this, he immediately waved the flag and launched the flag to reorganize the remaining army.

At this time, the second and third rows of the cavalry of the Xiaojie Army had also jogged to keep up, but there was a slight detour, which went around the two wings of the first row of cavalry respectively, and attacked the Jin cavalry that leaked out of the two wings of the first row of cavalry.

The morale of the Jin cavalry leaking out of these two wings has dropped greatly, and there is no impact speed, facing the second and third rows of Xiaojie cavalry, almost desperate and waiting for death, watching the left and right five hundred spears pierce into the formation, bursting out of a burst of blood, everyone and horses are falling, and immediately the frightened rear team becomes the front team, and retreats frantically backwards.

The commander of the fourth, fifth, and sixth platoons of cavalry was He Lubu, who saw that the first formation of 4,000 cavalry of the Jin army was defeated by the first three rows of 1,500 cavalry of his own side, and his morale was also greatly boosted, but he did not continue to attack with the first three rows of cavalry.

Because they no longer had any room to engage the enemy, He Lubu flexibly detoured back to a small slope on the flank, and once again lined up in a tight cavalry wall array, guarding the flanks of the first three rows of cavalry.

Sure enough, in order to save the situation, the deputy general of the Jin Army reorganized the cavalry of the 3,000 Jin Army, leaving only the 3,000 Jin Army, which had just come ashore at the end, as a reserve in the rear.

Then he led the reorganized 3,000 gold army to reluctantly kill the flank of the first three rows of cavalry commanded by Fan Zhuoyuan, intending to annihilate them all.

He Lubu immediately cracked his spear in front of him, and his own soldiers blew the horn three times in a row, and then led three platoons of 1,500 cavalry to intercept it!

At this time, there were seven, eight, nine, and ten cavalry in the rear of the Xiaojie army, a total of two thousand cavalry in four rows, and they were used as reserves, under the command of another partial general, Gu Huaizhen, to respond to the front battlefield at any time, monitor the reserves of the Jin army, and once the reserves of the Jin army were put into the battlefield, they would immediately intercept them.

At this time, the situation faced by the Jin army was very bad, because they were fighting with their backs, and the rear did not leave them enough space to open up the distance for a counterattack after the rout.

Either they can crush the Song army in the next wave of frontal charges, or they can only gather into a group of hand-to-hand combat on horses, or they can only be driven by the Song army all the way into the water.

Although the water is not deep, if chaos falls into it, the Jin army wearing armor will not have horses to float in the water, and can only be drowned alive or killed by the Song army.

The 3,000 cavalry organized by the deputy general of Jin Bing reluctantly rushed to the first three rows of troops where Fan Zhuoyuan was, and saw that Fan Zhuoyuan was about to suffer a loss.

At this time, three rows of dense cavalry led by He Lubu intercepted from the flank, and the adjutant general of the Jin army saw that the flank was being attacked by the enemy, and originally wanted to order one of the men and horses to disperse and intercept.

However, for the troops that had already launched the charge, it was obvious that such an order could not be effectively communicated, and they could only be forced to turn around, hoping to defeat Helubu's troops with their own numerical superiority.

With a large number, but loose and messy cavalry formation, the Jin army quickly crashed into He Lubu's dense cavalry formation of 1,500 in three columns.

He Lubu's headquarters are like clenched fists, and the Jin army is like a big net.

As soon as the two sides took over, He Lubu's troops rushed into it unreasonably with terrifying potential energy, and the Jin army was instinctively scattered due to the wide distance between the single horsemen, just like when the Jin army attacked the Liao cavalry!

was brutally chiseled by He Lubu!

The Jin army immediately fell into the chaos of dividing the left and right, and the orders of the adjutant general could not be conveyed everywhere for a while, and it was difficult for the army to reorganize in a short time.

At this time, Fan Zhuoyuan had driven most of the thousands of gold soldiers who were the first to take over the battle down the Lushui River, and many fled in panic along the banks of the Lushui River.

At this time, Fan Zhuoyuan saw the chaotic situation in the headquarters of the deputy general of the Jin Army, and immediately took out the horn and blew it in a soothing rhythm, and his subordinates held the flag and rolled the banner, and the three rows of 15,000 elite cavalry of the headquarters immediately began to reorganize the queue, aiming at the thousands of Jin Army cavalry formations that had just been torn apart by He Lubu's department and launched a charge!
