Chapter 286: After the Praying Mantis Catches the Cicada and the Yellow Sparrow
Zhao Yongji's eyes were red, he brandished the long knife that had been stained red with blood, and shouted hoarsely, where the horse's hooves trampled, the wild grass was crushed into powder, and the earth seemed to tremble.
In the formation of the Great Song Army, Wu Jie's expression was solemn, and the order flag in his hand waved more rapidly.
In the wilderness, the two armies have been inseparable.
Although the Tibetan cavalry was brave, every time they broke through, they had to pay a heavy price.
The soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty were also red-eyed, they shouted, brandished their weapons, and fought to the death with the enemy. With each fight, someone fell, but the remaining soldiers did not flinch, but pounced on the enemy even more frantically.
On the battlefield, there were severed limbs and stumps everywhere, and rivers of blood flowed. The neighing of horses, the shouts of soldiers, the clashing of weapons, and the groans of dying are intertwined to form a tragic picture of war.
Zhao Yongji may never have imagined that the army of the Great Song Dynasty would be able to display such a strong combat effectiveness.
The situation in front of him was like a hammer to him, smashing hard into his heart.
His side suffered heavy losses, and the morale of his soldiers gradually declined, and he knew that if he continued like this, the defeat was already assured.
However, at this critical moment, there was a sudden commotion in the rear of the Great Song army.
Zhao Yongji looked from afar, only to see countless flags of the Great Jin Kingdom fluttering in the wind, and the Jin Army was like a raging flood, rushing straight to the rear of the Great Song Army.
"Haha!" A hint of ecstasy flashed in Zhao Yongji's eyes, "God help me!" The army of the Dajin Kingdom came at the right time! ”
He immediately brandished his long knife and shouted, "Soldiers, do you see it? The army of the Dajin Kingdom has come to our aid! This is our perfect opportunity to turn defeat into victory! Kill me back and flank the Great Song army with the army of the Dajin Kingdom! ”
When the Tubo cavalry heard this, their morale was immediately boosted, and they followed closely behind Zhao Yongji and swooped towards the rear of the Great Song army.
At the same time, Wu Jie, the coach of the Great Song Dynasty, also discovered the abnormal movement in the rear.
His brow furrowed, and a hint of solemnity flashed in his eyes. However, the battle-hardened veteran wasn't deterred. He quickly waved the order flag and commanded the Great Song army to change formation again.
"Artillery team, turn the muzzle! Aim at the Jin Army! Wu Jie's voice was firm and powerful, and it spread throughout the battlefield.
The artillery team in the center of the artillery team moved at the order, and they skillfully adjusted the angle of the muzzle, preparing to fire deadly shells at the Jin army.
However, the Jin army was not unprepared, and their artillery team reacted quickly.
The commander of the Jin army was riding on a black war horse, and he looked at the Great Song army in front of him with a cruel smile. Under his command, the artillery of the Jin army began to roar, and the shells rained down on the rear of the Great Song army.
"Haha! Old man Wu Jie, do you think you can stop the iron hooves of our Dajin Kingdom? Today, I will let you see the power of our Jin artillery! Wan Yan laughed arrogantly.
Wu Jie's face was calm, and he was not angered by the arrogance of the complete face. On the contrary, he commanded the Great Song army more calmly to deal with the immediate crisis.
But after all, after half a day of bloody battles, the Great Song army was already exhausted, and the arrival of the Jin army was caught off guard, like a tiger descending from the mountain, directly attacking the weakness of the Great Song Dynasty. What made the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty even more frightened was that the army of the Jin Kingdom was also equipped with artillery, and in the roar, the shells fell like raindrops, blowing up the Great Song army.
"Quick! Plug the gap! Wu Jie shouted hoarsely, but the situation was already a little out of control, and the Great Song army could not take care of each other, and began to show a tendency to collapse.
Seeing this, a hideous smile appeared on his face: "Haha! The Great Song army is nothing more than that! Pass my orders, the whole army storms, and take them in one fell swoop! ”
As if hearing the horn of hunting, the army of the Jin Kingdom rushed to the Great Song army even more frantically. At this moment, there was a sudden rush of horses' hooves and shouts from the rear of Wanyan's folding. He looked back suddenly, and saw an elite cavalry team galloping towards them, their banners embroidered with the word "Song" in large letters.
"It's ...... Reinforcements from the Great Song Dynasty? Wanyan's folded face instantly became difficult to look at.
It was the Great Song reinforcements led by Wang Zaixing who came. They were like timely rain, killing the battlefield at the most critical moment. Wang Zaixing took the lead, the spear in his hand was like a silver dragon, shining dazzlingly in the sun.
"Soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty! Hold on! We're here to support you! Wang Zaixing shouted loudly and led the reinforcements into the formation of the Jin army.
At this moment, the situation on the battlefield was reversed again. The already desperate mood of the Great Song soldiers was instantly ignited, and they cheered up one after another and fought side by side with Wang Zaixing's reinforcements.
Wan Yan folded and saw that his rear was attacked, and he couldn't help but feel a little flustered in his heart. He hurriedly waved the order flag in his hand, trying to command the Jin army to stabilize its position. However, the reinforcements led by Wang Zaixing were too rapid, and their arrival completely disrupted the offensive rhythm of the Jin army.
"Damn! Where did these Song troops come from? Wan Yan roared angrily, a trace of horror flashing in his eyes. He never imagined that there would be such a dramatic turn in a battle that seemed to be won.
"Boss! What are we going to do? A Jin army general asked anxiously.
"What else can I do? Resist me! In any case, we can't let these Song troops break through our defenses! Wan Yan said through gritted teeth. He knew very well that if Wang Zaixing's reinforcements were allowed to join the Great Song army at this moment, then what awaited them would be a complete defeat.
However, the situation has developed beyond his control. Under the leadership of Wang Zaixing, the Great Song reinforcements were like a sharp knife, piercing the weakness of the Jin army.
Their arrival not only won a respite for the Great Song army, but also put the Jin army in an unprecedented predicament.
The reinforcements led by Wang Zaixing were like tigers descending from the mountain, rushing straight to the rear of the Jin army.
Their cavalry team galloped like the wind on the battlefield, and the weapons in their hands were waved impenetrably, taking the Jin army by surprise.
Some of the Jin soldiers dropped their weapons in panic and turned to flee, but were caught up by the cavalry of the reinforcements and slashed under their horses.
The army of the Jin Kingdom was defeated and retreated under Wang Zaixing's onslaught, and his face became more and more ugly.
He understood that victory in this battle was getting farther and farther away from them.
At this moment, Wang Zaixing, like the god of war, was invincible on the battlefield, which made the Jin army frightened.
As the reinforcements led by Wang Zaixing continued to penetrate into the ranks of the Jin army, the situation on the battlefield became clearer and clearer. The morale of the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty was high, and they fought bravely to kill the enemy, forcing the Jin army to retreat step by step.
