Chapter 713 The rise of famous generals
The next morning.
""Don't dare to continue to attack the Liujia divine weapon, do you think someone here is easy to bully?"
Yao Youzhong sneered.
The Jin army's breakthrough started before dawn. It was probably because they wanted to break through Zong Ze's defense line in one fell swoop when the people were most trapped. The latter's troops were all reorganized and were stuck on the road to the Jin army heading east to Baixing Road. Jin Wushu, who had already lined up to warn him, was ready for attack before dawn. With the three thousand cavalrymen in his troops as the core, nearly 10,000 cavalry raided Qinghua when the dawn first appeared.
He succeeded.
He successfully broke out of Zong Ze's formation.
However……
Zong Ze had an army of 50,000, and Yang Feng only drew a small town as a defense zone for him. His front line could accommodate at most 10,000 infantry formations, so Zong Ze's other 40,000 men formed four lines of defense behind the defense line. During the previous day when the two sides confronted each other, he buried countless horse-resisting horses.
Jin Wushu, who broke through the front line, immediately collided with the second line of defense.
Jin Wushu's cavalry was indeed very powerful.
They rushed to Zoze's second line of defense again, and then there was a third one in front of them.
In order to avoid the breakthrough of the defense line here, Guo Yong also wanted to avoid the Jin army entering various parts of Hebei, causing greater damage, as Yang Feng said, his supervisory team, that is, Yang Feng's Liujia magic weapon, was immediately transferred up.
The Song army, mainly locals in Hebei, fought to the death. The Liujia divine weapons and rifles were fired behind them. Jin Wushu's cavalry, or his Tiefutu, did not break through Zong Ze's third line of defense in the end. With panic about the Liujia divine weapons, the Jin army with more than 3,000 corpses had to give up the attack and retreat to Wanshan to repair it, and Zong Ze did not attack either.
Then the Jin army, who gave up hope for him, began to attack Yao Youzhong.
"Then let them see!"
Yao Youzhong sneered.
The attacker was Yang Feng's old acquaintance. Yue Yun used a huge axe to chop him with a thousand kilograms, or a big swab that could be said to be smashed.
This guy with a funny name is a genuine Jin army general, and his position was even slightly higher than that of Jin Wushu at this time.
Because there were also densely packed horse-resisting horses buried in the front of Yao Youzhong's troops, Dalang's vanguard replaced it with heavy armored infantry.
The Jin army infantry, with heavy shields all over her body, was rushing forward under the cover of the archers who were dismounting from the horse, but kept falling down in the shooting of the divine arm bow. In order to open the breakthrough, the Jin army that did not fall continued to run forward, and the shooting with the divine arm bow rushed into the wooden stake forest that was obliquely inserted into the ground like the French heavy infantry in the Battle of Ajinkur. Then they ran into the dense spears in the Song army's hands. Like last time in Bianliang City, countless infantrymen holding short-handed axes came forward in the spear forest, then the divine arm archer who put down the divine arm bow and picked up the axe gun from behind, and then the archers who held a bow and aimed at the Jin army's face behind the front line.
The battles of infantry in the Cold Weapon Age will not be the same as in the movie.
Both infantry, all heavily armored, used their spears to protect the stabs fiercely within a distance of one meter. The swordsman and axemen in the middle of the spears were crowded forward for no more than one meter, and smashed each other with the axe hammers and even maces in their hands.
This is a real bloody battle.
The axe can splatter blood all over the body and cut off the opponent's head. The hammer, which is slightly larger than the fist, can snatch the opponent's neck in his hand and smash his limbs. The minced meat brought by the mace will be thrown on his face.
Knife is the least common in such battles.
That's just a spare.
Unless it is at the level of oar knife.
The bloody battles are constantly piled up on the front line. In such a battle, the soldiers' martial arts are not important. What is important is will and the courage to fight to the death. Especially when the archers on both sides are shooting at close range. After all, not everyone can tolerate the distance that spits and can barely hit, someone is aiming at their faces and even their eyes with a bow and arrow, and faith...
Even the Song army soldiers who believe in the charlatan are not inferior to the fierce Jin army in any way.
The two sides fought wildly.
At the same time, some heavy infantry of the Jin army were still removing the horses.
This is the real goal of their offense.
While relying on the bloody battle of heavy infantry to entangle the Song army, an attack passage that was not too wide was cleared out. Then the remaining heavy infantry of the Jin army retreated in a hurry, and the Song soldiers who were pursuing did not care about the rapid reorganization of the formation. The next moment, the Jin army's equipped cavalry rushed in. But at the same time, the Song army's three-eyed guns extended out, and the moment when the equipped cavalry vanguard hit the spear formation, dense flames appeared with loud noises, and the frightened war horses neighed.
Chaos, although most of the cavalry equipped with armor were only slightly injured because of heavy armor, the blockage of charge had fatal consequences. Because then, axes and guns were slashed down on the head, and the swords and card players rely on the jungle of spears to block the cavalry, without hesitation, crowded forward, and used the sharp battle axe in their hands to chop the cavalry's legs. The horses roared and fell down the horse's back and struggled without waiting, and the same battle axe chopped on their heads.
But the Jin army did not retreat.
They had no room for retreat. At this time, the news that the county gate was blocked had spread throughout the army. If they could not open up a road of life, they would be trapped here.
There are not only Jurchens among the Jin army.
In fact, the number of Jurchen soldiers in the 120,000 army was less than half, and the rest were all Han army and Khitan, which were their enemies. However, these Khitan soldiers also hated the Song army. To be honest, the Northern Song Dynasty played a traitor in the matter of the Song and Jin joint destruction of Liao. The Song and Liao Dynasty had been peaceful for a long time, and there was an alliance. The conflict between Song and Liao was nothing more than Youyun, but the Liao Kingdom did not obtain the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun from the Song Dynasty.
That was given to them by Shi Jingtang.
Instead of what they got with force.
After that, despite the decades of war between the Song and Liao dynasties, the Liao Kingdom did not take any of the land in the Song Dynasty. The border of the Song and Liao dynasties was still maintained at the boundary line of the Chai Rong's northern expedition, and then maintained a peaceful life of more than 100 years according to the Tan Yuan Alliance.
It was the Song Dynasty who stabbed the Liao Kingdom in the back.
Therefore, when the Khitans were unable to fight against the Jurchens, they were willing to follow them and use attacks on the Song Dynasty to vent their hatred of the country. However, if the Jin army faced failure, they would never be loyal. They would not hesitate to use the Jurchen blood to vent their hatred. Therefore, at this moment, Nianhan must open a breakthrough to give his subordinates hope to maintain internal unity.
Just as Da Yan attacked Yao Youzhong, not far from this battlefield, the Jin army led by Wanyan Huowo was also launching a fierce attack on the Song army.
His opponent is Han Shizhong.
But Han Shizhong did not fully defend.
His tactics are different from Yao Youzhong. The latter was trained by the Imperial Camp Department. Most of them were old imperial guards in the Bianliang area. The soldiers' individual soldiers were not of high quality, but they were disciplined. They were slapped by the national teacher and were strong in their will. After more than a month of high-intensity training, the tactics were good. However, Han Shizhong's subordinates were all elites who followed him to fight against Hebei. The soldiers themselves were of high quality, but the discipline and will were very different from Yao Youzhong's troops. The army with faith and without faith immediately distinguished from this point.
So his defense is centered on offense.
Just as his infantry blocked the Jin army tightly, a cavalry of about a thousand people suddenly emerged from his formation and rushed straight to Wanyan Huo Nu.
The latter was leading the cavalry to line up at this time, waiting for the infantry in front to clear the horses. This is actually a sharp wooden stick to penetrate the soil. It has a great restrictive effect on the cavalry. The cavalry cannot enter the battle before the infantry clears enough width.
After seeing the Song cavalry coming out, the Jin generals who defeated the Zong Shi led the cavalry to hit him head-on without hesitation.
The vanguard of the Song cavalry was three generals in their thirties and forties. The three cavalry were almost in parallel. Three flat spears pierced straight into the formation of the Jin cavalry. The three spears penetrated the bodies of the three Jin soldiers at the same time. Then the three of them abandoned the spears at the same time, and then replaced the most suitable weapon for melee between the two on the left and right. One on the left and the other on the left was whipped and the other mace. In fact, this is the most popular weapon used by the Song cavalry. The sword is rarely used, and those who have enough strength use whip and mace hammers. Of course, the hammer at this time is also called Guduo, and the one who has not enough strength is a cone gun, because only these can effectively break the armor, but the youngest general in the middle is a very unique hand...
What he has in his hand is a flail.
Or also called a mace.
The three of them waved their weapons like three beasts and fiercely knocked down Jin cavalry one by one. Even the same brave and famous Jurchen generals could not stop these three people. If they could not stop them, they could not stop the surging cavalry behind them. The ferocity of Wanyan Huo girl pushed away the personal soldiers who stopped him, picked up a mace and urged them to move forward.
"Report a name!"
He said with a grim smile.
"Wang Sheng!"
The general on the left waved his mace.
Wanyan Huo's girl turned her head and barely avoided it.
At the same time, the man's hand flails roared and fell on Wanyan Huo's mace. Even Wanyan Huo's bravery was shaken. Then Wang Sheng's iron mace fell down. Wanyan Huo was forced to retreat. A Jin army general next to him hurriedly swung the hammer forward, and the flail fell down again. The chain of the mace was rolled on the hammer handle. In fact, a small-volume mace was hardwood wrapped in iron inlaid with three-edged mace, which was chiseled into the forehead of the Jin army general.
"Cheng Min!"
The Song general threw a sudden move, pulling the dead body off the horse and saying with a grin.
Wanyan Huo's woman roared angrily, and the mace in her hand fell into the air. Wang Sheng's iron mace immediately blocked it, and then Cheng Min's flail fell down, tearing open the iron armor on Wanyan Huo's woman's shoulders and tearing a bloody hole.
Wanyan Huo girl screamed and retreated.
Two personal soldiers hurried forward to block Wang Sheng and Cheng Min regardless of the cone guns of the Song cavalry opposite. Wanyan Huo turned his horse's head and wanted to leave. Suddenly, he looked up subconsciously. A cold thing suddenly pierced into his right eye and then into his brain. The last picture of his left eye was the general who had suddenly disappeared from the middle of the Song cavalry five feet away...
"Xieyuan."
The latter said with a bow holding up his bow and smiling.
