The fifty-eighth chapter, the general hunts and rides across the river and returns 4
He allowed the feather arrows shot by the enemy to fly by. At this time, the Mongolian archers behind were blocked by their companions in front of him and could not send arrows to support him at close range. In the chaos, these Mongolian knights who rushed to charge had gradually begun to retreat. Once the flags in front seemed to advance and retreat, the morale of the two armies was even more disparate.
The speed of the Mongolians' response was not the first time that Zheng Yunming was surprised. But this time their reaction still made Zheng Yunming amazed. Although the vanguard's poor impact did not affect the subsequent combat deployment of the Mongolian army. Even though the cavalry had only a small maneuvering space, they still tried hard to spread their wings and fire arrows towards the army from both sides, in an attempt to defeat the formation of the army. If the army was not trained by Wang Deng with steel-like discipline, the fierce rain of arrows alone would be enough to make the entire army collapse and reverse the situation. The Mongolian army behind no longer rode horses, but gathered on the outside of the camp, firing arrows while walking forward, preparing to defeat the sudden appearance of the Song army's surprise attack troops with the attitude of infantry against infantry.
"Don't stop! Continue to charge! The enemy's backs, this is a place of death!" Zheng Yunming stood behind, waved the sword in his hand and shouted loudly: "Send a signal and let the troops from Yingzhou come out and attack!"
The accompanying Beiwei soldiers pulled out a fireworks tube from their waists, lit it with a small torch and raised it high. A ball of fire rose into the sky, and a thunder sounded in the air.
The Mongolian cavalry retreated in chaos and trampling on each other had retreated into the camp one after another. The Mongolian infantry attacking forward broke the silence and began to roar loudly, slapped the shield with a scimitar, making a harsh collision. Yeli, who was walking in the first row, held the iron bones in his hand, waved it on his head, and shouted and cursed: "Turn all Sinansi's guys back to the cave!"
The army of the trapped formation gathered together and began to yell and curse, clasped its weapons tightly, and advanced towards the enemy.
Zheng Yunming was anxious. Although the first step of the surprise attack was successful, the number of troops in the army was too small. As an unexpected attack force, the number of people could not be too large. Similar to the imperial court attacking the Jin camp at night with an army of 400,000 under the city of Bianliang, it became a laughing stock and there was no place to learn from. In his mind, one thousand people were the appropriate number of people for a large-scale surprise attack, which was based on the low combat effectiveness of the Song army. The Mongols on the opposite side often formed suicide squads with dozens of generals and confidants to form suicide squads, highlighting the surprise troops, and successfully fighting. Since the war started, the Song army has suffered many such losses.
But all this is based on the fact that the enemy was shocked by surprise and was chaotic and disorderly and unable to resist. Although the first wave of the enemy's cavalry counterattacks have been repelled, the Mongolian army besieging Yingzhou did not show any signs of chaos, but instead launched the second wave of counterattacks with infantry as the main force in an orderly manner. If the war falls into consumption, then for Zheng Yunming, who is one of the disadvantaged people, he will go deep into the tiger's den and be entangled by the tiger.
Zheng Yunming had already expected this step, and he put his bet on the friendly troops in Yingzhou City. After all, there were 20,000 Song troops in Yingzhou City, known as the main force, and they were all brave and capable Northern Army soldiers who were once the backbone of Jinghu. When they saw friendly troops coming to support, there was no reason not to open the door and attack inside and outside.
But as the two armies were about to start contact, Zheng Yunming looked towards Yingzhou frequently, and there was no movement in the direction of the city. It was obvious that Li Boyuan suffered a loss in his first attack and was taught a lesson by the General Manager of Huguang. This time he also learned from the Southern generals to play the trick of being a mature and persistent trick.
What is it hard to learn these bad things? Zheng Yunming whispered a swear word, and raised his tone and shouted: "Ren Xiongwei! Take my banner! Tell the soldiers and horses in Yingzhou that if they don't leave at this time, the city will be difficult to protect!"
Ren Xiongwei agreed, took Zheng Yunming's banner from the head of the flag, protected by three or five Beiwei soldiers, and ran towards Yingzhou City. He was a famous scythe in the army, and he could no longer see the figure clearly after a while.
The Song and Mongolian armies were only thirty steps apart. The Mongolian army in the front row raised their bows and shot a row of feather arrows. Although the front row of the army was fully armored, many soldiers were still shot by the archers at a distance of thirty steps. However, the attacks of the Mongolian army were even heavier. The musketeers behind the spearmen on the front line suddenly rushed out, and fifty musketeers lit the iron musketeers in their hands. After the harsh gunshots and choking smoke, the Mongolian soldiers also fell down sporadically.
Yeli suddenly scolded: "The rabbit-like Sinan Si people will only sneak out of the hole in the ground to attack! I caught them all, cut them into small pieces and roast them for food!"
Zheng Yunming was angry and shouted: "The one who called us a rabbit just now, captured it alive for me! Feed him three meals a day to see who is a rabbit!"
Although scolding is funny, hand-to-hand combat is a bloody actual battle. The two soldiers collided with each other, and they fought naked and started a melee.
Not long after the battle began, Zheng Yunming had time to summon the rear team to step forward to reinforce, the situation of the battle had already undergone changes that were beneficial to the Song army.
Among the soldiers watching the city of Yingzhou, some people had great eyesight. From a distance, they saw the flags that were coming towards the city quickly, which were written on the famous name of Zheng Yunming, deputy governor of Jing and E.
Zheng Yunming was a famous general who suppressed tens of thousands of riots in Xiangyang with his own strength during the Xiangyang chaos. Li Boyuan's subordinates respected him like a god, and Li Boyuan and his family's lives were protected by the struggle of Zheng Yunming's subordinates. No matter from any angle, they could not abandon Zheng Yunming and fight alone outside the city. Yao Zhiyuan, the general general of Jinghu, also worked under Zheng Qingzhi, and it was impossible for him to stand by and watch in friendship.
The drums sounded like thunder in the city of Yingzhou. Li Boyuan personally led thousands of infantry to open the northern gate of Yingzhou, stormed the battle flag and rushed out, and rushed towards the Mongolian military camp.
Almost at the same time, countless red flags were raised in the woods behind the army, and smoke and dust were flying, and life was booming. Thousands of Song soldiers rushed out of the woods and sprinted towards the battlefield with all their might.
Zheng Yunming was surprised. In order to avoid the chaos of the army, he and Meng Gong went ashore at two different locations respectively. His army had a small number of people and was able to understand that it was understandable. The original plan was to use his army as the vanguard to raid for a first time. If the enemy could not be disturbed, the enemy's physical strength could be temporarily consumed. Then Meng Gong led the army to attack later and could achieve full results. Unexpectedly, Meng Gong's army was also disciplined and well-trained, and he had arrived before the vanguard's battle was decided.
The officer who rushed to the front of Meng Gong's army was particularly eye-catching. He was wearing a red military uniform, a vermilion helmet, and a vermilion armor. The red flag raised by the flag behind him seemed to be a little cinnabar in front of the white torrent. The warrior in red military uniform was not just special armor. He rushed to the front of the team, holding a large bow and constantly shooting arrows. His archery skills were so proficient that he could only be described as a hit. He rushed forward all the way.
Dozens of Mongolian soldiers were already injured by his magical arrows. When they were about to rush to the flank of the Mongolian army, he threw the horn bow to his companion behind him, pulled out the double swords on his back, rushed to a heavily armored Mongolian warrior several times, dodged the scimitar that the warrior slashed over, and stabbed into the warrior's unprepared armpit with one sword. He danced his double swords, and he was like a born calf in the battle formation of the Mongolian army, stirring bravely.
A general who uses double swords or double hammers on the battlefield is a very rare exception. It requires high confidence in his martial arts. Generally speaking, the weapons held by both hands are heavy and powerful, with extremely strong lethality, such as heavy axes, broken blades or iron spears. They are powerful and powerful when swung. The weapons held by one hand are light and flexible, and can be freely exerted. Two-hand weapons mostly use the power of attack to cover the weakness of defense. Attack with all strength makes the opponent unable to parry and can't fight back. If a one-handed weapon is used for defense, it is inevitable that you will feel that it is insufficient, so one-handed weapon is usually equipped with a shield on the other hand for specializing in defense, which is a sword or card weapon or
The source of sword and shield soldiers. Whether in the East or the West, two-handed weapons and sword cards are equipped with a large number of troops. Only offensive weapons used at the same time are rarely seen on the battlefield. The attacks of two-handed weapons cooperate with each other, and it can be said that the power of the offensive has doubled. However, when the door opening is opened, it is difficult to be fully prepared. The movements of one-handed attack and the other-handed defense in the Jianghu are mostly just casually saying that the martial arts required must be very high. It must be able to use one-handed weapon to resist the enemy's full-strength attack, and the other weapon must be able to break the enemy's defense. Such generals are rare in the army of the Song Dynasty.
In fact, there was no need for this young general in red to fight for his courage. The roars on three sides had already predicted the overall disadvantage of the Mongolians. The Mongolian soldiers who realized that they had fallen into the trap of the Song people were still decisive and immediately abandoned their companions who were fighting with the army of the army and rode their war horses toward the north. Although the ambushed soldiers arranged by Mongolia killed many retreating enemy cavalry, they could not stop the high-speed escape brigade. However, the Mongolian soldiers who had not had time to get on the horses behind the temple, the war horses that had not had time to withdraw, the camps full of tents, the two or three hundred fishing boats anchored in the Han River, and three grand water-draft fortresses could not be taken away. They were soon submerged in the white crowd of the Song army.
