Chapter 269: The Siege
Knowing that Ling Lingqi was a native of the Great Song Dynasty, these generals of the Jin Kingdom were also quite impressed, and the Mongols did not attack for the time being, and everyone drank again, and Ling Lingqi stayed in the city that night. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The next morning, Ling Lingqi followed Situ Wen to the city, the Mongolian army will definitely attack today, Ling Lingqi also wants to see how the Jin army fought the Mongolian cavalry.
The two were chatting, and at this moment, they suddenly heard the rumbling drums in the Mongolian camp, which was really deafening. Situ Wen was around him, and his face changed color.
Ling Lingqi said, "The enemy has begun to attack. Situ Wen felt that the situation was serious, and hurriedly said: "Send the order to go down and prepare for battle." ”
Knowing that the situation was critical, his generals did not refuse, and immediately gave orders to go, and assigned all armies to line up in formation and resist danger. It is not allowed to fight for no reason, and it is not allowed to take a step back at will, and those who violate the order will be beheaded. After a fierce battle, the reinforcements suffered heavy casualties. 80,000 infantry, but more than 60,000 soldiers; Even the 20,000 elite horsemen led by Situ Wen personally suffered almost half of the casualties. Fortunately, the defenders who came out of the city did not suffer much loss. Several groups of people joined forces, and there were still 100,000 people. At the moment, it was spread under the city, like a long snake, confronting the Mongol army.
Situ Wen has fought more than 100 times with the Mongols, and he knows the Mongols' methods of using troops. It was known that once the two armies were set out on the plain, the Mongols would definitely charge the battle with iron cavalry. Once the formation is broken, the infantry will cover up.
But he set up his sword hand in front of the battle to block the arrows. Later, the spear and spear were used as the second column, but the third column was a strong bow and a crossbow. It also made people set up more thistles and horses in front of the battle as obstacles to slow down the attack speed of the enemy's cavalry.
It's just that time is in a hurry, and as soon as the formation is lined up, I see the horn blowing in the enemy's formation, the flag waving, and the first wave of attacks begins. Mongolia finally encountered the opportunity to fight a decisive battle with the main force of the Jin State in the plains, and they went all out to annihilate it in one battle. Therefore, in the first round of impact, at least 20,000 iron horsemen attacked.
The little prince of the Jin Kingdom also came, and saw from a distance that the enemy's guns and halberds were like a forest, and the iron horses were like stormy waves, sweeping away, and the sound of horses' hooves shook the earth, and everyone's hearts were pounding with it. He couldn't help but look like earth, and said in his heart: "I knew that Mongolia was so at stake, so I wouldn't have fought with my father for the position of commander." Heaven is pitiful, the Buddha blesses, if this king survives this catastrophe, he will definitely build a hundred floating pagodas and cultivate an immeasurable golden body!"
The enemy cavalry was still half a mile away, when suddenly a raindrop of arrows appeared in the air. The sword hand of the front deck held up his shield to block some of the arrows. But in the rear formation, one after another soldiers fell with arrows. The King of Jin was guarded by guards in front of him, and someone had already raised a large shield to block the arrows.
As soon as the rain of arrows stopped, the Mongolian iron cavalry was already approaching. Although a few iron horsemen stepped on roadblocks such as thistles and horses, and fell and were injured, they did not thwart the attack in the slightest. The Iron Rider was like a huge dark cloud, still surging up.
Situ Wen ordered the arrows to be released. The first row of shooters used hard crossbows, which had an extremely long range, and thousands of crossbow arrows shot into the sky at the same time, and then fell in an arc again. The Mongolian cavalry had already entered the firing range, and suddenly a rain of arrows fell, and hundreds of cavalry were immediately shot down. But the enemy cavalry turned a blind eye and still fought bravely.
Situ Wen ordered the second row of archers to release their arrows. This time the enemy cavalry was much closer, so it was a flat shot. The four or five hundred Mongolian iron horsemen who bore the brunt immediately fell in a rain of arrows. But more of the iron horsemen were still like a black whirlwind, and they burst into front of the formation in an instant.
In front of the formation, five hundred swordsmen had already been laid down, rolling on the ground, and cutting off horses' feet. All of a sudden, people shouted and neighed, and hundreds of iron horsemen became ghosts under the sword. However, there were many Mongolian iron cavalry, and the 500 brand sword men were like a drop in the ocean among the tens of thousands of iron cavalry, and they could only hold back the enemy for a moment, and then a large number of iron cavalry had broken through the defense line and came to the spear array.
Although there were hundreds of casualties, the spear array could not withstand for long. Situ Wen was not in a hurry, and gave another order, and more than 10,000 elite horsemen suddenly poured out from both wings, and attacked the Mongolian iron cavalry in two ways. Although there were 20,000 Mongolian iron cavalry, they suffered heavy casualties along the way, and their morale was inevitably a little low. was killed in a chaotic formation, and gradually retreated backwards.
Situ Wen was overjoyed, ordered the drum to be beaten, and attacked from the middle with more than 5,000 horsemen, and threw all the cavalry into the battlefield. Sure enough, under the rush, the Mongolian iron cavalry formation was in chaos and began to retreat. Situ Wen knew that the opportunity could not be lost, so he immediately mounted his horse and waved his sword and shouted: "Life and death, fight here! The whole army will attack!" 100,000 people responded in unison, which was really earth-shattering, and rushed towards the Mongolian camp.
Ling Lingqi also jumped on his horse and swung his sword, rushing forward to kill.
100,000 people attacked together, and the Mongols were disrupted at that time. However, the Mongol soldiers were many generals, and there were still more than 20,000 iron cavalry Chen soldiers behind the formation. Seeing that the situation was not good at this time, he also sent the remaining 20,000 iron horsemen, and then attacked at the same time with more than 100,000 people, and the offensive of the Jin army was immediately blocked. Even with the courage of Ling Ling Qi and the swordsmanship of hundreds of disciples of the Situ family, on the battlefield of hundreds of thousands of people, it could not change the situation of the battle in the slightest.
At this time, the two armies were already in a decisive battle, and they were all advancing without retreating, and they were fighting until the sun and moon were dull, and the sky was dark. Gradually, the momentum of the Jin army had declined, and the formation began to shake, and it was forced to retreat step by step by the Mongol army. The two wings were losing more and more, so they had to move closer to the middle. When Situ Wen saw this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and said in his heart: "Could it be that I will be defeated today after a hard battle?
The Mongol army gradually gained the upper hand, forming a huge fan with more than 100,000 people, surrounding the Jin army, which was less than 100,000 in the middle. Moreover, the encirclement is getting narrower and narrower, and although the soldiers of the Jin State are fighting to the death, they are outnumbered, their strength has been exhausted, and their defeat has been revealed.
But in front of the Mongolian Chinese army, a horseman appeared, wearing golden armor and holding a scimitar, but it was the Mongolian prince Timur, prancing on his horse and shouting to supervise the battle.
Ling Lingqi saw it from a distance and said angrily: "I'll rush to take his head." ”
Seeing this, Situ Wen hurriedly said: "No, the enemy army is well defended in front of the formation, and it is too dangerous for you to step forward alone." ”
Ling Lingqi said: "Life and death are fighting here, and I can't take care of much. The horse rushed forward.
The Mongol Chinese army suddenly saw a horse galloping forward, no one noticed it at first, but then found that the knight was holding a long knife, and where it passed, the Mongolian iron cavalry fell off their horses one after another, and no one was invincible, so they were shocked. Hurriedly said: "Release the arrows, release the arrows!" Dozens of people took bows in their hands and fired a volley at Ling Lingqi.
Ling Lingqi swung his knife and pulled out arrows, although arrows hit him in the chest and abdomen from time to time, first, he was a master of strength, and he was not afraid of ordinary arrows, even heavy arrows could not penetrate his silkworm armor. The Mongol army was even more surprised, and a dozen sharpshooters fired arrows at him at the same time. Suddenly, the horse roared, but it was struck by several arrows. Then there were more than a dozen arrows shot into the body of the horse, it turned out that Mongolia also knew the truth that the shooter shoots the horse first, in the rain of arrows, although Ling Lingqi has treasure armor, he can only protect himself, but the mount can not take care of it.
