Chapter 603: Four Fierce Battles against Zhu Xianzhen

After Yan Chang's face was full of puzzlement and surprise, could this Song army team be crazy?

After several previous battles in the north, who doesn't know that the Jurchen warriors are fierce and invincible? Especially the cavalry, which is even more invincible, how dare they charge the Jurchen cavalry?

He immediately sneered, there are many people in the Song Kingdom, and there are many ghosts who don't know how to send them to death, since this is the case, then it will be a good thing for these people!

He is also full of cavalry here, so there is no such thing as lining up and repelling the enemy with bows and arrows, and both are on horseback, and arrows can be used, and if they are all used, they will only shoot indiscriminately.

But how can this show the courage of the Jurchen athletes? Isn't shooting arrows at each other taking advantage of each other? What's more, at this moment, the Song army is only a few thousand people, and one charge can completely destroy the other party!

Thinking of this, Yan Chang waved his hand forward on his horse: "The front army is out to destroy the enemy!" ”

There were 20,000 men on his side, 5,000 in the front, 10,000 in the middle, and 5,000 in the rear.

Sending 5,000 people to fight he felt that it was a knife to kill chickens, and one Jurchen warrior could fight ten Song troops, seeing that the Song army was only these soldiers and horses, sending almost the same to meet them, did he look down on them too much?

However, the lion fights the rabbit, and also uses all his strength, the second prince has never underestimated the enemy after Yan Zongwang, even if he knows that he is weak, how to knead it, but he still never gives the other party the slightest chance, and does not leave a little loophole.

Over there, Li Kui was wielding two plate axes, his eyes were red, and he didn't look at the number of people on the other side, but saw that all the Jurchen soldiers were Jurchen soldiers, so he shouted excitedly.

At first, this Jurchen soldier looked at the Song army in the distance as if he was looking at a joke, and all of them showed disdain, but when they got closer, they found that these Song soldiers not only did not stop, but accelerated to rush over, and the original contempt immediately turned into anger.

Song Guo's ants should be afraid of the Jurchen warriors, right, at this moment, they are not afraid to say anything, they actually want to collide? It's worth it!

After Yan Chang gave the order, the five thousand troops immediately greeted them, and they were all extremely angry, wanting to tear apart the pretentious ants in front of them.

It's so hateful to make such a gesture even though it's so vulnerable!

"Boom, boom", a dull but continuous collision sound came, and the two armies were instantly stunned.

The weapons of the Jurchen light cavalry were about the same as those of the Liao army in the Western Xia, scimitars or blunt weapons.

Light cavalry is rarely charged, but it is not impossible to charge, most of the light cavalry is mainly cruising and harvesting, but with the blessing of war horse inertia, and its own leather armor protection, it can also be charged and killed.

The two armies just collided in one place.

But what surprised Yan Chang was that the scene that he thought was directly crushed did not appear, but instead ...... Rare penetrated each other.

He slowly opened his mouth wide, looking at the people in front of him and shouting horses, he is here in the Chinese army, and he can only take a general look, not a subtle one.

Is that really Song Jun? Wan Yanchang suddenly had some doubts in his heart, how could the Song army resist the charge of the Jurchen warriors head-on? This is impossible, this is absolutely impossible!

In the successive battles in the north, he had long seen clearly the combat power of the Song army, even if the Western Army, which was known as the strongest, was not necessarily much stronger than the Khitan soldiers, and the Song army's tactics were chaotic, the coordination between the generals was too poor, and the cooperation was completely disordered, and it could not withstand the fierce Jurchen knights rushing to kill.

And the most important point is that the horses of the Song army are not good, the Song army is full of personnel, there are many generals, and the armor is actually enough to use, although compared with the Western Xia Jia, it seems to be inferior, but it is enough, only the war horse.

The war horses of the Song army were not only inferior to the Jurchens, but also inferior to the Liao State, but they were the worst among the surrounding countries.

Most of the war horses of the Great Song Dynasty were purchased in Western Xia, and a small part were purchased in Liao, and the domestic horse farms were almost deserted in the early years, whether they were Hehuang or Luzhou, and finally only a piece of Gyeonggi remained.

However, the horse farms in the suburbs of Gyeonggi are not for the army, but for the princes and lords to have fun.

Although the Western Army also raised some war horses, it was a pity that it was not large-scale, they were all small horse land, and the Western Xia and Liao sold not too good horses to the Great Song Dynasty, and after a few generations, they weakened themselves.

Therefore, no one is as good as the war horses of the Great Song Dynasty.

If the war horse is not good, it means that the cavalry is not good, and if the cavalry is not good, it means that it cannot dominate the plain area, and if it is extended, it will not work in the grassland, or even worse!

So in this Gyeonggi and Yudong, the Jurchen warriors should be rampant, why are they killing each other at this moment?

Wan Yanchang took a sharp breath, feeling that his brain was not enough, and this scene in front of him should definitely not appear!

At this moment, the commander who was watching the battle in front came back and reported: "Deputy marshal, the cavalry of the Song army on the opposite side is different from what I have seen before. ”

"Different? What's the difference? Wan Yanchang hurriedly asked.

"Deputy marshal, my subordinates watched the battle, and saw that these Song cavalry were not only tall and strong horses, not inferior to my Dajin, but also the leather armor they wore was wrapped in iron sheets, and there were iron spears in their weapons."

"Iron sheet in the vital part of the leather armor? Still with an iron spear? Wan Yanchang was stunned for a moment, the war horse didn't mention it for the time being, but what is such equipment? Is this still a light cavalry? The light cavalry is mainly used for parade and harvesting, although it is also equipped with blunt weapons, but it is rarely used, and it is probably necessary to pursue the wind and be flexible.

So what is this leather armor wrapped in iron sheet for? And the iron spear, doesn't it increase the weight of the man's horse? Will you slow down some speed? However, it can increase the inertia a bit...... Inertia? As soon as he thought of inertia, Yan Chang's eyes immediately widened.

The other party is from far to near, galloping non-stop, it is simply coming with full potential, a little more inertia, in the non-stop galloping, it will get bigger and bigger, and this shape of leather armor, as well as iron spear weapons......

Wan Yanchang's face immediately changed, the other party not only had a war horse that was not worse than his own, but also such a weapon, and he was not afraid of death, so he rushed straight over, wouldn't his own side have to suffer some losses?

Even if the Jurchens are less than 10,000 and invincible, but the tribe has few people, they don't want to lose a penny.

But at this moment, just look at the melee ahead, the invincible Jurchen sons are falling off the horses one by one, the leather armor can block some arrows with little force, but it is absolutely impossible to resist the horse's hooves trampling, after all, it is not iron armor and steel armor, just in the blink of an eye, many people have broken bones and tendons, and even been trampled into flesh.

"No!" After Yan Chang roared, it was difficult for him to accept the scene in front of him, since the confrontation with Liao, in the past ten years, the Jurchen athletes have fought in the south and the north, fighting in the east and killing in the west, how have they ever suffered a defeat? There has never been such a tragic situation.

The Song army actually had the upper hand!

Li Kui is so slippery at the moment, but now he is addicted, since many years ago in Hujiazhuang with Gu sister-in-law to kill people, I don't know why, Brother Gongming no longer gives him a chance, always take him with him, all the time out of a bird, the second king is really a good person.

His two axes flew up and down, next to death, touching death, although he himself was also injured, but he didn't care at all, but provoked ferocity, and became more and more brave the more he fought.

Wan Yanchang's face was so black that he seemed to be dripping ink at this time, and he shouted: "The whole army charges, the whole army charges, and these Song dogs are destroyed." ”

The remaining Jin soldiers were already impatient, and they were already stunned when they saw that the robe in front of them had suffered a big loss, and at this moment, they all waved their weapons and rushed forward.

The invincible 20,000 Jurchen light cavalry faced the Song army with only 5,000.

Wan Yanchang regretted this moment, if he had ordered all 20,000 people to come forward and outflank the siege just now, then he would definitely have reduced a lot of losses, maybe he would have already destroyed this strange Song army, and it would not be the current situation.

But now it's too late to say anything, and he secretly made up his mind in his heart that he must crush these Song soldiers and scatter them to ashes, leaving no one behind, and kill all of them to avenge the Jurchen sons who were killed and injured before.

Li Kui was killing well, and suddenly heard a sky-shattering shout from the opposite rear, and the golden soldiers who couldn't see the end of the black pressure piled up, he was stunned, not only was he not afraid, but his black face showed a happy look, licked the blood on his lips, and his expression became more and more ferocious.

At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves was also heard behind the people and horses on his side, the earth shook, the dust and smoke were billowing, and it was the three teams of Luda and Qin Mingsuo who chased after him.

Seeing this, Li Kui immediately said angrily: "The three birds regret it and want to compete with me." ”

He thrashed the horses so hard that he seemed to be afraid that someone else would kill one more golden soldier, and rushed over like crazy, and the two axes in his hands fluttered wildly.

The three of Luda didn't say much, and they had already seen the form in the field, the Jurchen cavalry was not more than them, and there were indeed no heavy horses, so they immediately divided into three roads.

Qin Ming was on the left flank, Suo Chao was on the right flank, and Lu Dazhi answered Li Kui from behind.

A bloody battle suddenly began.

The light cavalry rarely made such large-scale frontal charges, and the field immediately became chaotic.

The 40,000 cavalry came together in a melee, and you can imagine how fierce the battle was and how majestic the scene was.

This is no more than riding to step, or step to step, there is a buffer room for advance and retreat.

Once the cavalry penetrates each other and strangles the cavalry, it is simply a dilemma, if you don't die, you can't retreat, you have to kill the enemy in front of you.

With the death of the cavalry, some of the mounts died, lying on the ground, forming obstacles, tripping normal people and horses, and some of the mounts lost their owners and ran wildly, and they would be injured regardless of whether they were enemies or enemies.

Some of the horses were even startled, and directly lifted the soldiers above, and then kicked them indiscriminately.

War horses are actually very rare, otherwise how can they be called war horses, but at the moment this form of melee, even if it is a well-trained war horse, there is no shortage of frightened and confused, if there is no master, if there are soldiers above, it is simply a disaster, do not listen to the command at all, either be upside down, or hit indiscriminately, the master above is dead.

This battle lasted for more than half an hour before it became clear, and at this moment the battlefield was already like a Shura hell, with no end in sight, blood was like a spring stream, branching out into countless forks, bubbling and flowing, and the overwhelming smell of blood wafted in the air, making people feel sick to smell.

And the distinction is that the Jurchen soldiers were defeated and retreated, and they were originally twisted together by each other's cavalry, in a dilemma, but after more than half an hour of fighting, with the death of the soldiers, there were fewer and fewer people, and the battlefield became empty and spacious, and they were able to make some retreat and move.

Half of them were missing, and after a big battle of 40,000 cavalry, there were only more than 20,000 left, of which the remaining ones on Luda's side were twice as large as the Jurchens.

In other words, there are 14,000 or 5,000 left on Luda's side, while there are only more than 7,000 people on the Jurchen side.

Wan Yanchang's body trembled behind him, his eyes were as wide as copper bells, and his arms trembled slightly and pointed forward: "This ...... That's impossible! ”

The soldiers around him were also full of incredulity, but none of them spoke, because the remaining 7,000 or so cavalry were coming back from a rout.

The sound of horses' hooves sounded like a storm bell, and finally one of the soldiers couldn't help but say: "Deputy marshal, withdraw ......"

Wan Yanchang turned his face abruptly, stared at the pro-soldier viciously, and pulled out his waist knife with a "bang": "What did you say?" ”

The face of the pro-soldier was ugly, and he immediately closed his eyes and made a neck killing, the Jurchen did not say defeat, and those who dared to speak out and retreat died.

"Vice-marshal and slow!" Another soldier gritted his teeth and said, "The war cannot be violated......"

Wan Yanchang looked at these two pro-soldiers, they had followed him for five or six years, and they were not greedy for life and afraid of death, but at this moment, they ......

He turned his head to look at the battlefield, only to see that the defeated cavalry in front of him was getting closer and closer, and it was already an irreversible situation.

After a few glances with a pale face, Yan Chang used his wrist to return the waist knife to the sheath, and then was silent for a while, and said with difficulty: "Withdraw to Zhuxian Town!" ”

This is the maximum amount he can do, and he can't retreat directly in the direction of Tokyo, so it is better to die here.

The flag soldiers next to him immediately played the flag, and Wan Yanchang turned the horse's head with difficulty and walked towards Zhuxian Town.

Juxian Town is a very large town, one of the best towns in the entire Gyeonggi Road, and the area is directly compared to the smallest county seat.

However, Zhuxian Town has no city wall, it is completely open to the outside world, there is no one in the town at the moment, when the Jin army crossed the Yellow River, Kaifeng Mansion sent an alarm everywhere, and the people in the town ran to the near county, but unfortunately, all the county towns finally fell.

The Jurchen defeated army entered the town directly, and there were five streets in this town, all of which were main streets, not narrow alleys, and all of them could run horses.

Wan Yanchang ordered: "Find a place to hide, bow and arrow......"

Before the words of the bow and arrow to resist the enemy were fully spoken, there was a "boom" on the other side, and Li Kui took the brunt of the killing of people.

Originally, it was a tail-of-homus pursuit, not far away, where could the Jurchen army find a place to cover and then use bows and crossbows to ambush?

What's more, the Jurchen soldiers at this moment are all in a trance, and they are not even as good as the Song army every time they are defeated, where is there any reaction and go directly to the cover.

The Song army has won and lost with the Western Xia over the years, and has failed with the Jurchens repeatedly.

And how have the Jurchens tasted defeat over the years? It is a Yum Lion, the sudden defeat is too big a gap in his heart, it is difficult to bear for a while, and he has never retreated even on the battlefield, and he is in a trance at this moment, and he will not be defeated even if he loses.

The invincible confidence has been broken, the spirit has plummeted, and there is no time to find anything to cover the sneak attack at this moment.

As more and more cavalry came in from behind, the second round of fighting started in Zhuxian Town, and this battle was longer than before.

Because although Zhuxian Town is open and spacious, it is a place to live after all, and there are many obstacles in the house, so it is even more difficult to fight.

It wasn't until more than an hour later that the entire town was almost filled with corpses, and only a few dozen people were left in the Jin army, wrapped around Yan Chang, and fled straight to the north......
