Chapter 248: Private Army
The general of the Jin Kingdom suddenly found that on the left flank of the Song army, the Song army was all copper hammer soldiers, and the copper hammer the size of the golden melon smashed on the horse's head from the side, which immediately made the Jin cavalry turn over on their backs, and one of the burly men, the golden hammer in his hand was even more huge, and a horse was knocked down with a slight knock!
The burly man Bi met again with great bravery, a pair of drums and urns in the palm of the golden hammer are as light as straw, and heavy as Mount Tai, where he rushed to him the iron cavalry of the Jin country, under the golden hammer, all the brains burst, people turn over on their backs.
The bronze hammer soldiers behind him saw that the burly man was so powerful, and he couldn't help but be high-spirited, shouting and killing shook the heavens and the earth, and the copper hammer in his hand was raised high, and he slammed it down against the cavalry who rushed in front of him. Although it did not have the majesty of a burly man, the gathering of thousands of bronze hammer soldiers was like a surging torrent, drowning the charging iron cavalry in an instant.
On the right flank, the situation of the Iron Cavalry was not much better, and with the cooperation of a group of hook and sickle men and a team of captains of spearmen, the leg of the Iron Cavalry had just been cut off, and one of the pikemen pierced the chest of the horseman.
Qu San is particularly ruthless, although he does not have the courage of Bi Zaiyu, but an iron sword in his hand is like a poisonous snake spitting letters, a stab is collected, every stab, is accurately stabbed on the throat of the iron cavalry, looking at although there is no ferocity again, but the number of enemy soldiers killed and wounded, will not be much less than Bi Zaiyu.
Even Feng Mofeng, who had inconvenient legs, rushed to the forefront of the battle line, with a pair of steel crutches under his ribs, and every time he clicked, he could accurately point on the temples of an iron cavalryman, so that he could kill with one blow.
Yue Wudi is in the Chinese army, there is a yellow-maned horse under his crotch, looking at the heroic fight on the front line, his heart is surging for a while, but he is holding back his own **. He knew that even if he didn't have to take action himself, the two thousand iron cavalry on both flanks would not be much of a threat to the Northern Expeditionary Army.
Bi Zaiyu's bravery, Qu San and Feng Mofeng's ruthlessness, all of which very well expelled the fear of these Northern Expeditionary troops going to the battlefield for the first time. More than six years of hard training day and night were not in vain. Even though he was just a sheep six years ago, he has now transformed into a wolf.
Killing people like hemp and treating death as home, is the best interpretation of these Northern Expeditionary troops who went to the battlefield for the first time. Infantry against cavalry, in the face of the opponent's strong impact, there is a natural disadvantage. But the daily training of the Hammermen and Hook and Sickle was precisely for the cavalry, so they faced a thousand cavalry charges. There may be trembling, excitement, nervousness, but there will never be fear.
The comrades in the front row fell, and the soldiers in the back row were like avengers, smashing the enemy on the opposite side with a copper hammer and stabbing them to death with spears.
In just over a quarter of an hour, the iron cavalry on both wings fell into the encirclement of the Song army. The space for charging is constantly being compressed, and the superiority of the cavalry is constantly being weakened. In the face of the Song army, which was several times larger, the iron cavalry had no strength to resist.
Seeing that the iron cavalry on both wings was submerged by the Song army, and seeing that the whole army was about to be annihilated, the main general of the Jin soldiers roared in pain, and had no choice but to stop the frontal charge, and at this time there were still two hundred steps away from the Song army. The other party's bed crossbow was still shot at him as if he didn't want money.
The chief general of the golden soldier no longer knows how to do it, and he also understands that if he continues to charge now, he will only be sent to death in vain. The 10,000 iron cavalry is now less than 5,000 left, and the only wish of the golden soldier general is now. It was to bring these 5,000 iron cavalry back to the city, relying on the strong city to resist the defense, and there were still 20,000 infantry in the city, holding the city, he felt that there was still hope.
"Retreat! Retreat!" the golden commander roared, and turned his horse's head, and was the first to rush into the city.
The defeat was like a mountain, seeing the defeat and flight of the main general, where did the iron cavalry of the Jin State still have the heart to rush forward, and they rushed to flee for a while, the front army was trampled by the rear army, and the army was in chaos.
"Shoot the arrow!" Meng Zongzheng gave an order, and the bed crossbowmen on the front line immediately smashed down the machine bracket again, and the bed crossbow fired!
The fleeing Jin Guo's iron cavalry was in dense formation, and under the fierce fire of the bed crossbow, the casualties were even heavier, and in a short distance of three hundred steps, two or three thousand corpses were left behind, and they successfully escaped to the city gate!
"Siege!" Without waiting for Jin Bing to calm down and arrange the city defense, under Yue Wudi's instructions, Han Yanxuan issued a military order loudly.
It was still Meng Zongzheng's Fifth Army that took the lead in attacking the city. In the rush on the city wall, only the archers released arrows to suppress them, and there were no rolling stones and trees.
Meng Zongzheng gave an order, and the wooden cart roared forward under the impetus of dozens of Song troops, and the two wings and the front row were guarded by large shield soldiers, and the feather arrows on the city wall were not very dense, and they could not break through the defense of the big shield at all.
The Song army of the brigade swarmed under the city wall, and the people in front were killed by random arrows, and the Song army behind did not have the slightest fear, and only cared about erecting the ladder to the city wall.
The ladder was pushed by the Jin soldiers, and the Song army, who was making up for it later, immediately erected the ladder again. Song troops constantly climbed the ladder, one person slashed three or five gold soldiers on the city wall, and after one or two people were killed, they were pushed to the ladder and fell down.
Qu San climbed the city tower from the ladder from the ladder, and an iron sword counted the points, and killed the three or five golden soldiers on the battlements, and the golden soldiers behind had just made up, and the mace had not yet been smashed, and the throat had been pierced by Qu San.
In an instant, from this ladder, Song Jun continued to climb up, and the first one was Bi Zaiyu, who shouted loudly to Qu San: "Good boy, dare to rob Lao Tzu of the first place, after killing all the golden people, Lao Tzu wants to compare with you!"
Qu San didn't hear it, the long sword in his hand didn't stop at all, the long sword was on the battlefield, it was not a sharp weapon, but in Qu San's hands, it became a murderous weapon, the Luoying Divine Sword with complicated moves on Peach Blossom Island was abandoned by him, and he only used the internal force of his life to urge the long sword, quickly stabbed out, took back, and took away the lives of one by one golden soldiers.
Bi Zai saw Qu San kill fiercely, he couldn't help screaming, a pair of drum urns and golden hammers in his hands swept around, and smashed the heads of several golden soldiers, when it came to killing the enemy, he didn't think he would be worse than that guy.
The Jin soldiers on the city wall gathered their manpower, wanting to kill Qu San and Bi Zaiyu's group of Song troops and fill this gap, while desperately firing arrows to suppress the Song army who wanted to continue to climb the city under the city tower.
Among the Song army, a hundred steps away from the city wall, there were also more than 1,000 archers who were shooting at the city wall on their backs, suppressing the rain of arrows on the city wall.
There is also a tall troop transport tower was assembled, and under the impetus of more than 100 soldiers, slowly approached the city tower, and the soldiers above, within fifty steps, pressed the crossbow in their hands and shot at the golden soldiers on the city wall.
When the troop transport tower approached the city wall, the Song army who was alive on it immediately jumped onto the city wall, slashing frantically with a sword in his hand, trying to open a gap in the city wall again.
Downstairs for the troop transporters, there were also Song troops who climbed up the ladder and climbed onto the troop transport tower, thus jumping onto the city wall.
"Boom", under the continuous impact of the wooden car, the city gate was finally broken, the cheers and shouts of the Song army suddenly shook the sky, and the Song army rushed into the city gate, climbed the city tower, and fought to the death with the Jin soldiers.
The Jin soldiers, who had not been trained for a long time, had a huge gap with the Song army in terms of both numbers and the quality of their soldiers, and they were killed by the Song army under the disparity in strength.
"I didn't expect that the old man would be able to see the Great Song army with such majesty in his lifetime, and he was really dumbfounded!" Xin Qiji looked at the one-sided slaughter on the city tower, and said with emotion.
"Our years of deployment and training of the army have not been in vain. This Northern Expeditionary Army, after this battle, has let the world know that this is a real elite army!" Han Yanxuan also smiled with satisfaction.
Yue Wudi said lightly: "It's still far away, we haven't experienced a hundred battles, what kind of elite division are we talking about? We have an army of 100,000, if we can't even capture a small city that 20,000 people refuse to defend, then it will be a real shame." ”
As he spoke, Yue Wudi's eyes stared at the battlefield motionlessly, watching the situation everywhere, trying to see if there was anything that needed to be improved. The structure and classes of this army, as well as the training plan, were drawn up by him himself, and were designed to deal with cavalry with cold weapons, field warfare on the plains, and siege and defense of cities.
In this battle now, in this battle of the Song army, the Song army has an absolute advantage, and it can't see anything. As for the Jin soldiers who didn't hold out for half an hour before they were breached by breaking through, it can only be said that the Jin soldiers have been sparse for a long time, and it cannot be said that the Song army is too strong.
Not to mention anything else, in terms of the quality of individual soldiers, this army is far from reaching Yue Wudi's expected goal, and the elite of the Five Elements Banner of the Ming Sect is far superior to this army.
Of course, the disciples of the Ming Sect are all martial arts warriors, and this is something that this army cannot compare with no matter what.
However, with such an effect, Yue Wudi also felt good, according to the current situation, this 100,000 army was enough to subdue the declining Jin Kingdom!
The battle on the city tower has ended, and the main general of the Jin soldiers, Wan Yan Hongxuan, has surrendered without dignity. Xin Qiji, who was very angry with the Jin people, wanted not to keep the prisoners, but after Yue Wudi said softly, "The prisoners can be exchanged for money", he stopped talking.
This Wanyan Hongxi is still a disciple of the clan, and he is also a descendant of Wanyan Aguta, and his status in the Jin Kingdom is not low, so he should be able to exchange it for a good price.
Of course, this money will definitely not be given to the Great Song Dynasty, but will become the military expense of this army, in the face of such a strong Northern Expeditionary Army, I am afraid that the Zhao Guanjia will know, and they will not dare to say a word "no".
After all, when the army is outside the borders, the king's orders are no longer so effective. Now the actual control of this army is Yue Wudi and Han Yanxuan, not the Zhao Guanjia.
After the victory of the Northern Expedition is over, no matter where this army goes, it will only be Yue Wudi's private army, because at that time, generals at all levels in the army will become Yue Wudi's subordinates. (To be continued......)
