Under the night sky, the battlefield is like a huge wheel. ≧
Horses' hooves galloped, circling on the chaotic and vast battlefield, and the horses one after another was like a torrent of intertwining, dividing the original dense formation of the Wu Dynasty army. In the light of the fire, blood and corpses spread out, and the field was full of rout soldiers, and there were also formed teams of various scales who were fighting themselves. , in front of the eyes, is almost a large-scale slaughter.
The Wu Sheng Army, who originally guarded the Daming Mansion, was torn into two halves by the first charge of the Jurchen cavalry. The cavalry attacked from all directions, crushing the resistance of this army of up to 60,000 people at an astonishing speed.
For the soldiers of the Wu Dynasty, everything in front of them could only be called tragic. On the huge battlefield where tens of thousands of people gathered, there were people everywhere, and the Jurchen attack was forced in. No matter who it is, after encountering this scene, first of all, they feel unbelievable, and then there is the huge fear that is difficult to control, the shaken military heart, the great panic, the panic and hysterical screams and screams around, and the Jurchen cavalry charged over, The people around avoided and crowded each other, and then the warhorse rushed to the front smashed the bones and chopped the body. On this battlefield where there are people everywhere, no matter where these cavalry go, there are shocking waves of blood on the mountain of corpses.
The commander of Wu Shengjun, Chen Yanshu, was fleeing desperately. Just now, Jurchen's cavalry team broke through the guards of his personal soldiers, almost handed the blade to his eyes, and two arrows still shot at him. On the armor - this Jurchen team was targeted and killed, and what they wanted to take was the head of the leader of his army.
When the Jurchen cavalry appeared in front of the great army. Chen Yanshu was still thinking of using the crowd to give it a shot. When the serial horses with several or dozens of cavalry rushed into the front line frantically, he didn't even think about retreating. But everything is really too fast.
To fight against cavalry with infantry, if you want to fight a tough battle, you have to rely on an airtight and crowded formation, when thousands of them are crowded into a large block. The front line could not run away, while the back line marched forward, forming a huge human wall that the horse team could not break through. However, the argument is one thing. When the threat of death appears, the front of the queue will also subconsciously want to avoid and retreat. If the entire army is regarded as a whole, how much bravery outweighs cowardice determines whether the formation is strong or not.
The Jurchen charge team quickly shattered this sea of people. The flying flesh and blood will be shocking to even the battle-hardened generals. One of the 2,000-strong cavalry ripped through the sea of people and rushed to the banner of the Wusheng Army. Chen Yanshu tried to block this "strike of the sword" with the elite of the army. "The cavalry, but the sea of blood that had been raised earlier seemed to have only inspired the fierce blood of the Jurchens. They resisted attacks from all directions, and at the same time, they madly slashed in towards Chen Yanshu's personal soldiers.
In other words, they slashed everything they could reach in all directions, and at the same time, they were still advancing rapidly.
Chen Yanshu's personal soldiers resisted for a moment. The enormous pressure caused them to suffer heavy casualties, and Chen Yanshu felt a chill in his heart. When someone fired arrows at him in the chaos, he began to retreat quickly, and at the same time mobilized other troops in the army to come here to block the attack for him.
After such a mobilization, the entire army has already begun to be in chaos. Jurchen's killing smashed everything under the night sky, and the control of the entire Wu Shengjun had failed. Gradually fighting for each other, and the teams on the fringe have begun to flee frantically. The soldiers in the battle are either fighting fiercely or turning in under the leadership of middle-level officers, but the slaughter has become the main theme of the entire battlefield. With so many people, it is too convenient to slaughter.
More than ten miles away from here. The Wuwei army has also been scattered and crushed, and the nearby battlefield is Jin Guo's general Saila. A team of Jurchen cavalry rushed to kill each and every soldier of the Wu Dynasty with a distinctive mark.
On the hills, the large troop that couldn't run was chased by a cavalry of about a thousand people and slaughtered. Large tracts of defeated soldiers rushed into the nearby woods, but the Jurchen cavalry circled around the edge of the woods, and then started to set fire in all directions. It was already late autumn and early winter, and the weather was dry. Not long after, a large number of open flames began to burn. , light up the whole forest. Near a river valley, nearly 3,000 soldiers of the Wu Dynasty were slaughtered and forced into the river. Soon Jurchen started shooting arrows into the river, and the whole river surface was stained with blood.
More than ten miles south of this place, the battlefield of Wu Rui Camp was equally tragic and unspeakable. Its collapse speed is slower than that of Wusheng and Wuwei armies, but the serial horse also smashed the resistance of the infantry team, and has already cut the entire battlefield into several large pieces. Inside and outside the battlefield, the morale of the army is also collapsing, and the small half of the troops have already begun to disintegrate and flee.
A Jurchen cavalry team of about 1,000 people swept around the scattered crowd on the edge of the battlefield.
On this huge battlefield, Ning Yi could no longer find Qin Shaoqian's position. Shortly after the battle, he took the most precious two thousand cavalry from Wu Rui Camp and rushed towards Jurchen. How precious, first of all, the horses of the Wu Dynasty were not as good as those of the Jurchens, and secondly, the quality of the cavalry of the Wu Dynasty was much worse than that of the Jurchen cavalry in front of them.
Seeing the collapse of the battle ahead, several Jurchen cavalrymen rushed here from different directions. Frankly speaking, Ning Yi really wanted to leave. The position where he was at this time was surrounded by fields, and he couldn't find a high place to occupy, and there were all kinds of troops around. If his convoy wanted to make a big move, everyone would start bombing the camp and fleeing.
During the time in Qi County, Ning Yi had communicated with Qin Shaoqian about the use of the elm cannon. If there is a large army to support, choose a narrow strip to meet the enemy head-on, and it should have a good kill for the Jurchen horse team. Even if the terrain is not formed, if there is a large army to assist, the artillery array can be placed in the forefront and higher, and it can play a lot of roles, but the cooperation of the army is indispensable. And right now, even if the artillery array is placed on the flat ground, he doesn't know which side to face.
When they passed by this time, their original plan was to fight against the Jurchen near Moutuogang—either Yao Pingzhong succeeded in robbing the camp, and the army of more than 100,000 just outflanked the Jurchen army, and the bottom was settled in one fell swoop; or Yao Pingzhong failed and the army of more than 100,000 was defeated in one fell swoop. Concentrate. Set up a battle to fight with the Jurchen in an upright manner, however, before they arrived, the Jurchen came over, and even the scouts didn't have much information in advance.
Qin Shaoqian realized this, and also realized that Ning Yi's elm cannon might not work. Only then did he let him figure it out on his own, and if it couldn't be done, run away as soon as possible. However, Ning Yi didn't want to be the one who collapsed first.
More than 300 people under Yue Fei have assembled. Under the training of this young general, the formation of more than 300 people has been well trained, but they are still nervous and uneasy, and all the soldiers have some fear on their faces. On Ning Yi's side, there was also a lineup of more than 300 people, all of whom were Zhuji's elite. Those who followed Ning Yi to Luliang Mountain were all here. Although they were not in a dense formation of a large number of infantry facing cavalry, the eyes of most people did not mean fear.
Of course, some technicians are still afraid.
Standing on the top of the carriage, watching the massacre's front line gradually spread to this side, Ning Yi was actually afraid. Jurchen serial horses, and even later heavy cavalry Tiefutu. In later legends, Yue Fei dealt with them by cutting the legs of horses. However, during this period of time, after Ning Yi got to know him a little bit, he knew that the focus was not on slashing the horse's legs at all.
When the war horse rushes over and chops off the horse's legs, it is common knowledge for all those who have experienced the battle formation. Only in legends, it will become "cheats". Because the focus is not on such a simple matter at all, the focus is on how to make the soldiers in the front row calmly, efficiently and accurately hand guns to the horses' legs when more than ten war horses swept in like the tanks of later generations.
Even if you get hit. There is a 90% chance that these soldiers will also be killed.
It may take countless, simple and boring trainings, highly strict disciplines, and the tempering of wars to train such soldiers. After they have them, what they need to do is to exchange their lives with the horses, so that the infantry can really have the power to fight against the cavalry. At the moment, the more than 300 people trained by the young general not far away are far from such qualities. As militia-like armed forces, they just did not collapse and escape.
When the talented Jurchen started to charge, Ning Yi stood on the top of the car and watched. Thousands of Jurchen cavalry rushed into the formation, and the momentum was amazing. The front row of Wu Rui Camp also acted as a tenacious resistance. However, the thousands of cavalry were really damaged. Yes, I'm afraid it's just over a hundred or two hundred riders. The three shouts arranged by Qin Shaoqian boosted morale. However, at the front of the team, only morale could make people swing their swords frantically, and even they themselves didn't know what they had cut. When Jurchen's charge broke through the array for the first time , their casualties plummeted.
The shouting and killing of the war spread, and the wave of Jurchen killings spread everywhere in the field of vision, and orders for nearby troops to advance were also issued quickly—these people near Ning Yi were mostly scattered soldiers and volunteers who came from all directions. , Some of them still have bloody bravery, and they started to kill towards the front under the leadership of the generals around them. Some people started to run away. The Jurchen cavalry has been killed here. The number seems to be hundreds or thousands. The riots became more apparent around them. Then, more rout soldiers spread around like a tide, and many people began to flee.
In front, Yue Fei was holding a steel gun, watching all this indifferently.
Zhu Biao, who had already returned, came to the back of the carriage and looked around: "Should we help enforce the military law?"
Among the guards of Zhuji, there are also many people who are looking at all this. Many people who practice martial arts have blood and courage. When they see such a big battle, they will not be stingy to go forward and work hard, and they are also unaccustomed to these people who flee without a fight. However, Ning Yi still shook his head: "We have to leave later. We lose too quickly. There are hundreds of us, and it's pointless to stop them."
Zhu Biao was silent for a moment: "Our artillery formation can't be opened."
In such a crowded and chaotic place, even if it is really opened, a salvo will only kill one's own people.
The night sky was noisy, the flames spread little by little, the cavalry swept across the battlefield, setting off a wave of blood, and the scenes of death and serious injuries appeared in front of them. It was an indescribable scene. Ning Yi stood on the carriage and clenched his hands. This was the first time he had experienced such a huge war since he came to the Wu Dynasty, and it was also such a huge defeat. He has experienced many things in his life, but experiencing such a scene in person is another matter. At this moment, he really wants to lead people to rush up, and he also wants to set aside the elm cannon array and give Jurchen a head-on blow, but Even if you mobilize all your brain power to calculate, it is meaningless. In the front, Qin Shaoqian and the others are still fighting because they have to fight. If they don't fight at this time, they will lose even the last chance to escape.
Another cavalry team of about a thousand people circled from the side and came to the vicinity of the battlefield.
The Jurchen general who led the cavalry was named Sukhna. While the cavalry team slowed down a little, he was also observing the situation on the battlefield.
"It's time to go." Ning Yi said, and then raised his hand towards the nearby Zhuji people, "I know you all want to rush up, but while there is still a chance, we have to... escape back to Qixian County. Go to the side first. , don't be too fast..."
Even if the carriage moved slowly, it caused a crowd. Fortunately, Ning Yi did not choose an escape route at this time, and it did not cause everyone to swarm and collapse. Not far away, the Jurchen general Sukna stretched out his finger: "There, there must be all kinds of luggage in the convoy of the Wu Dynasty people. Come with me! It's ours!"
"Wow—" There was a frenzy of shouting in the Jurchen cavalry team, and then the cavalry rushed forward and plunged straight into the panic-stricken crowd.
The cavalry entered the battle formation, setting off a wave of blood, followed by another burst of defeat and escape. At a distance of more than 200 meters, Ning Yi looked over there through the thick crowd.
"It's coming towards us." Zhu Biao turned his horse's head and gestured around.
"Trouble..." Ning Yi frowned and whispered, "Continue to transfer, prepare for war."
Not far away, Yue Fei, who also noticed the situation, began to move the team. Here, the team was still moving to the side, and all the players who were good at fighting in Zhuji had already gathered. The battlefield in the distance was fierce and fierce, and the Jurchen cavalry team rushed like a torrent. Not long after the entire field fell into the Shura field, Ning Yi and others fell into this vast battle and became part of it.
In the capital, a chilling and strange atmosphere is fermenting. The news of Yao Jiajun's fiasco has already been passed on first... (Please search Piao Astronomy, better and faster!
