Winter nights are long. △
When dusk fell, the sunlight on the horizon had quickly faded its color. Among the snowstorms, only the western sky was left a little white, and the boundless snow reflected a bleak silver-gray in the shimmering light. The infantry was retreating, and then the sound of iron hooves came surging.
Suddenly, the flying snow set off a huge wall, the iron armored cavalry rushing straight into the crowd, and the waving of the knife wall caused a black wave of blood. The soldiers in the front row tried to stabilize their positions, but they shot out and hit the steel armor.
Fighting on the battlefield, sometimes, is like playing chess offense and defense, everyone has a chance to shoot.
The advancing cavalry was like an upturned iron plow, slashing and slashing in the crowd, the light cavalry followed closely, and the infantry in the phalanx were behind. On the side of the advancing array, more than a thousand Jurchen cavalrymen who were running and widening the distance watched here and did not dare to advance. They ran into the range of the bow and arrow, and shot arrows at this side, and this side also Fighting back with arrows, neither side had the upper hand.
Qin Shaoqian turned his head to look at the distance of the Jurchen cavalry, then waved the steel knife: "Kill! Don't change formations! Kill them all—"
On the other side of the Mutuogang camp, Shu Lieu, who received the news, was stunned for a moment: "What? Iron armor and heavy cavalry?"
In the mouth of the courier, the Jurchen army who had attacked brazenly encountered a hard idea in a hurry.
When the warring two sides rushed up, Hu Zongxiu, the leader of the cavalry, was in the first row of the queue, which should not have appeared. However, Hu Zongxiu was originally a fierce general with extraordinary courage. Secondly, the long-term victories made it almost a habit for the Jurchen to cut melons and vegetables for the Wu Dynasty army. This time Zongwang attacked the city, Hu Zongxiu was not brought. This made him very embarrassed - although he was left here, it was indeed because the cavalry he led was strong in combat, but in addition to the cavalry, the infantry who stayed in the camp at this time were mostly at the bottom of the Jurchen army. The inferior soldiers, guarding the camp with these people. He was really overwhelmed.
You must know that in the Jurchen army, the heaviest cavalry and infantry are also established, but most of them are either used to clean the battlefield and take some credit, or they are simply used as coolies and stay in the camp at this time. There are more than 6,000 infantrymen, and they also help craftsmen on weekdays. Even carrying goods and the like—rao is the case, their combat power is still much stronger than the soldiers of the Wu Dynasty under the same number.
In a word, Hu Zongxiu was very depressed. He led the cavalry and took the brunt of the opponent's formation. When he discovered that the opponent's cloak was covered in iron armor. It was too late to respond, and a large number of cavalry charged. The first round made the Jurchen troops pay a heavy price that is unimaginable on weekdays. Hu Zongxiu himself was slashed from the shoulder to the chest by a knife. He was burly and powerful, and he shouted: "There is a deceit, withdraw—" After that, there was no breath.
In such a charge, even if the front row heard the cry, they wanted to change formations. It has also been extremely difficult. The Jurchen cavalry's fighting spirit is very strong. Since there is no way to retreat, they can break the opponent with the strongest force. However, in this fight that lasted for dozens of breaths, the Jurchen soldiers. He was attacked with the same strength as his own. Needless to say, the heavy cavalry, in close quarters, could hardly cause damage to the opponent in a hurry. Even if a few heavy cavalry of the opponent were hit in the snow by the huge impact force, the damage caused by the opponent to the opponent was several times. as much.
If that were the case, the Jurchen cavalry would still be able to surround and kill a few heavy cavalry with the combat power and willpower of a large number of cavalry, but when the light cavalry fought in the intensive battle for a moment, all the Jurchen elites had already realized that something was wrong. The Wu Dynasty army in front of me, even if it is the same light cavalry, almost maintains the same fighting will as its own. Although the personal combat strength is still lacking in one way or another, the opponent's sword swing and dash forward are extremely firm. Becoming the first characteristic of an elite army - with the will, they tend not to flee despite heavy casualties.
Jurchen has experienced a lot of battles in the past few months, and the reason for winning is this: 10,000 cavalry against tens of thousands of infantry, the impact of the first round, the casualties on both sides, the gap is not big, the cavalry casualties are one or two hundred , Infantry casualties three or four hundred. However, as long as the first round is over, the casualties of the Jurchen cavalry will plummet, and the infantry who are broken by the frontal assault to break the first round of defense will encounter massacres.
And even when the cavalry fought, it was often the case. The Wu Dynasty had cavalry. Because the cavalry was not easy to set up, they often experienced a lot of training. However, when the psychological defense was broken in the first round of charge, these Wu Dynasty cavalry would also become the target of being chased and hunted. In the large-scale military operations in the cold weapon era, the real top priority is willpower. If this is not equal, other factors basically do not need to be considered.
In the Battle of Dagang, if the 20,000 Jurchen soldiers encountered not 800,000 Liao troops, but 800,000 local dogs, the Jurchen side would be defeated. When the military's morale collapses on the battlefield and an avalanche effect is formed, people are not even as good as dogs.
At this time, the Jurchen soldiers in the battle formation may not be able to clearly say this, but after experiencing the successive killing formations, their sensitivity to the battle is still extremely high. Hu Zongxiu's death caused them a little hesitation, but the lieutenant who was under Hu Zongxiu immediately issued an order to retreat after realizing that something was wrong. At this time, many junior officers in the Jurchen cavalry had begun to lead the team to retreat.
More than 500 Jurchen soldiers were beheaded in blood after encountering this army of the Wu Dynasty.
The 1,500 people who retreated still maintained their will to fight. Under the leadership of Hu Zongxiu's deputy Talai, the Jurchen cavalry began to shift to the side, trying to attract the attention of the opponent, and also dispatched reporters to inform The infantry retreated and informed the camp to be alert, but they later found that the Wu Dynasty army did not change course to pursue, they went straight to the Moutuogang camp, and the two thousand people led by the infantry general Pulu happened to be there. In the middle of this road.
The sky was dark, and when the heavy cavalry came in front with the wind and snow, the soldiers under Pulu had no time to withdraw into the camp. Even though Pulu was still chewing on it just a moment ago, what was the quality of the so-called "Wu Dynasty Elite Cavalry" from Talai and others, and formed a defensive array, but then he understood this point.
The speed of the heavy cavalry may not be as fast as the light cavalry, but when they push forward firmly, they are on the road. The corpses of the infantry are like a blood blanket spread out, with broken limbs, minced meat, slurries, dragged out internal organs, and the human body crushed by the horse's hooves, which stretches in shockingly in a blink of an eye. It used to be that the infantrymen of the Wu Dynasty were killed by the Jurchen cavalry. The tragic scene that happened was reproduced here on a small scale.
The camp gate of the Moutuogang camp was not far behind, and Pulu organized a resistance. He was still trying to evacuate his subordinates into the camp, but the order of Shu Lisu arrived shortly after.
Stop outside the camp gate, stick to the ground, and do not enter the camp!
In the distance, Shu Lie walked to the gate of the camp quickly, and then he had seen through the other party's intention, and he immediately ordered the camp gate to be tightly closed. In the distance, as many as 2,000 soldiers had given up their formation and began to turn around and flee. The cavalry of the Wu Dynasty chased and killed all the way in the rear. In the hoof and snow, these Jurchen soldiers seemed to be chased by the raging tide, and some people were involved in it from time to time. In the dim sky on the side, the Jurchen cavalry team was quickly detouring, trying to go to occupy the upper wind, and then attack the Wu Dynasty army.
"After Hu Zongxiu's death, was Talai who took over?" Shuxue asked at the top of the camp gate.
"Yes."
"Okay." Shu Liesu nodded. "Call to draw the bow, the farthest distance ahead... prepare... shoot—"
city wall. The arrow flew into the sky, and after it fell, part of the bow and arrow shot into the cavalry formation, and at the same time, some of the Jurchen soldiers running at the back fell down.
There seems to be an invisible line between the routed soldiers and the heavy cavalry, looking at the camp gate here from afar. The cavalry stopped, and the army of the Wu Dynasty was waiting for the infantry to follow closely.
It wasn't long after the two sides played against each other, and it had been a long time since Shu Lai had such a feeling. Just like what Zongwang did when he was preparing to attack the people of the Wu Dynasty, in one night, tens of thousands of troops defeated the more than 200,000 troops of the Wu Dynasty on the field outside Bianliang City with a thunderous force, and then saw that the enemy was defeated. Almost directly defeated the fighting spirit of all Wu Dynasty troops. The unknown Wu Dynasty troops in front of them seemed to have the same idea. Before Shuxue closed the camp gate, they wanted to take the opportunity of the Jurchen infantry to enter the camp, and they used heavy cavalry to clear the way and rushed in. .
Many times, simple tactics are the strongest tactics. Jurchens are used to winning on this land. If the speed of the art is a little bigger, hesitant, and unwilling to give up the friendly army under the record of constant victories , at this time he will open the door to fight.
Right now, the cavalry had stopped outside the range of the bow and arrow.
On the snow, Qin Shaoqian looked at the camp that was lit by fire from a distance. He turned to look at Han Jing, who was also frowning.
"General Han, the enemy's stay-behind technique is speeding up. He is indeed a famous general in a hundred battles. We must make a decision quickly."
In this battle, although the cavalry was under his command, Qin Shaoqian understood that Han Jing, who came down from Mount Luliang, was the one who really led the team. Lu Liang's bandits have always been fierce. Although Ning Yi convinced the leader, Miss Lu, it was hard to say how to get along with these generals, and Qin Shaoqian was not willing to oppress them as generals. The most important thing is that this battle was started by cavalry, and the fierce fighting just now took the Jurchen by surprise, leaving thousands of lives along the way, but the real casualties were also this one that came down from Mount Luliang. Fine riding. At this time, among the heavy riders who were advancing all the way, many people were also taking the opportunity to rest their breaths.
In normal times, you can already get the achievements boasted by the Golden Throne Hall, but at the moment, you can't relax.
Han Jing cupped his hands: "Since I've come here this time, I've already put life and death aside. General Qin doesn't need to care, the order is."
At the city gate of the Mutuogang camp, Shu Liesu took a breath and spit it out again. At this time, the entire Jurchen camp had already moved, and a large number of soldiers were flocking to the wall: "Send the order, notify Talai with the sound of the trumpet, the wild fox tactics, attack the Wu Dynasty infantry and heavy cavalry, and lead the other side. The cavalry will attack and consume the stamina of the heavy cavalry!"
This order has not been issued yet. In front of the camp, the light cavalry force of more than 2,000 people has begun to run wildly in disguise. The direction is the more than 1,000 cavalry led by Talai, while the infantry and heavy cavalry have begun to merge, and the formation has not moved. . Immediately, the Jurchen cavalry also began to run. If it was just a light cavalry hedging, 1500 against 2000, Talai might have dared, but considering that the opponent's heavy cavalry was still there, and the task of defending the large battalion was important, it wasn't that he had beaten this. It's good to fight, he doesn't intend to be entangled by the opponent's cavalry.
Wu Chao's light cavalry kept parallel to the outer wall of the camp, and ran straight to the east, surrounded by the Jurchen cavalry. From a distance, the snow dust splashed by the two teams is like a long dragon running. At the gate of the main camp, the Shulei Speed command issued a burst of orders, which made the soldiers in charge of the defense of the western wall to be more vigilant.
Cavalry is not suitable for attacking cities, but it is not impossible to attack. On the side of this military cavalry, Talai led 1,500 Jurchen knights. Always keep a distance of close to one arrow from the opponent. Once the opponent enters the shooting distance of the main camp, he will immediately shorten the distance with the opponent, and together with the main camp, he will fire this light cavalry in salvo.
At the same time, the Wu Dynasty infantry phalanx in front of the camp gate also began to move, pushing towards Talai's cavalry. Press into the angle between the ranges of both sides.
A long line like a giant dragon sprinted across the snowy field. Talai led the troops and turned in a circular arc. On one side, Wu Chao infantry was pushing forward, and at the rear, Wu Chao's light cavalry pressed over, both sides drew their bows, and then shot arrows together. Arrows flying into the sky are drawn in different directions, and then. There are only a few sparse ones that fall into each other's formation range.
Talai led the cavalry, and successfully inserted in the extreme distance between the two sides!
"Okay!" At the city gate, Shu Lei quickly waved his fist and shouted. That was brewed by the Jurchens in the battlefield killings. Almost artistic control!
After Talai interspersed, he pulled the distance from Wu Chao's light cavalry farther, centered on Wu Chao's infantry formation, and began to scatter wildly, trying to anger the heavy cavalry who were with the infantry. The infantry launched a counterattack at the same time. On the other side, after chasing the Jurchen cavalry, more than 2,000 light cavalry turned again. They aimed at the wall of the Moutuogang camp and began to shoot. On the wall, the soldiers erected their shields and returned arrows to color. However, the wind was coming from the north at this time, and the Moutuogang camp was at the downwind. For a while, the arrows shot on the shield, making a sound like hail.
Just like Jurchen's tactics outside Bianliang City, any part of the city wall needs to be guarded, and the high-speed rushing can quickly change positions. The idea of the people of the Wu Dynasty was obviously this. Once the weak point of the camp wall was found in such a rapid movement, 2,000 people would swarm towards this side. There is no doubt that once these 4,000 people broke the camp, all Of course, one's face should be lost.
The intensity of the battle has already begun to brew...
People of the Wu Dynasty, do they still have a team with such fighting spirit? Above the camp wall, Shu Lisu watched all this, thinking in his heart...
South of Moutuogang.
More than a hundred white figures quickly rushed into the surface of the ice lake, heading towards the brightly lit Jurchen camp opposite the lake, rushing silently...
At the same time, Bianliang.
Since the start of the war, the most brutal fighting inside and outside the city is going on.
****************
There was blood all around.
Violent and boiling shouts of killing came from all directions. In the chaos, teachers and teachers heard someone shouting: "City gate—" Then there were also the strange screams of Jurchen. A group of soldiers from the Wu Dynasty rushed over and joined the nearby Jurchen soldiers. killed together.
Shishi saw the corpse in the ground and stepped back. Then she resisted the urge to churn in her stomach, touched the wall, and rushed towards the nearby wounded barracks.
The fighting spread, and the divisions rushed to the large tents of the wounded barracks. Some Jurchen soldiers were fighting with the nearby soldiers of the camp. They overturned the bonfire and lit the tents. The surrounding snow, blood, and people's corpses were already mixed together. Those large camps were all people. Some rushed out from other doors, and some even ran out to try to fight, but in fact, most of the wounded barracks at this time were Severely injured, minor injuries are nothing more than wrapping up, so they cannot live in. Their injuries were so serious that it didn't make much sense to enter the battle circle, and they were chopped to the ground in a few strokes.
She hid in the shadows and glanced anxiously, then picked up a nearby bucket and tried to go around the other side of the tent, only halfway around, and abruptly confronted a Jurchen soldier with loose hair.
The opponent tilted his head and slashed with a sharp knife.
At that moment, the woman's mind was blank, but the next moment, the Jurchen soldier's arm was directly cut off by a knife light, and the figure rushing from the side kicked the Jurchen soldier away. The teacher was stunned. Next to him was a big man with a single knife. He was holding a steel knife. Bandage wrapped.
The big man who saved her turned around and said, "Hey, you..." as if he recognized her.
Afterwards, the blood splashed up, and the teacher felt hot on his face. The blade of a long knife stabbed directly from the big man's chest, and the man behind him slashed and chopped off the big man's head.
Just in front of the teacher, the burly figure, the head of the person disappeared. In the field of vision in front, several Jurchen soldiers had rushed over, but then, there were also soldiers of the Wu Dynasty killed next to them.
The swords struck each other, blood splashed, Shi Shi stood there in a daze, her body trembled, and there was only a slight cry of "ah, ah..." in her mouth. She looked at the headless body on the ground and didn't know. When, like more people came. Shishi leaned down and took the knife in the hand of the headless corpse, but after pulling it twice, it didn't come out. The corpse had lost its head, but she held the knife so tightly in her hand, but Shi Shi finally pulled the knife out. She held it in her hand and walked forward. Most of the Jurchen soldiers had been killed, and the last man had two spears stabbed into his stomach. The two soldiers of the Wu Dynasty tore at him and pushed the man, stabbing him to death on a nearby soil bag. When Shishi walked over, the Jurchen had died.
The soldier next to him looked at Shishi who was holding the knife and thought she was going to cut the corpse with the knife - they didn't care - but Shishi just cried and didn't cut it down. Several soldiers looked back at the big man, and someone said, "You man what?"
The teacher didn't answer, and there was a sound of shouting in the distance, and several people went there: "Come on, it's dangerous." One of them said before leaving.
Shishi slumped on the ground with a knife.
After a while, someone shouted, "Miss Shishi, girl Shishi." They came over here, but it was Xue Changgong's brother-in-law, Hou Jing, who led a group of soldiers over, and the shouts of killing from the top and bottom of the city, It seems to have become more intense. Seeing the state of the teacher, Hou Jing was extremely anxious, but the teacher gradually restrained his fear: "What's wrong? What's the matter now?"
"The Jurchen just broke the city wall, and we took it back. Some Jurchen rushed in and wanted to seize the city gate, and I was about to lead someone to support. Miss Shishi, are you alright, are you alright?"
"I'm fine." The teacher said, "Go quickly—"
"Then I'll go, you find a place to hide, hide!"
Hou Jing waved his hand anxiously, and then led someone to run over to the city gate.
Shishi wiped away her tears. She first supported the bunker with the dead person before standing up slowly. When her legs stopped shaking, she continued to charge towards the wounded barracks. Some people have put out the fire, many people are dead, some are more seriously injured, and while the teachers are running, they begin to help people deal with their injuries. At this time, most of the tent has been burned down, and the wind and snow leaked in. Teachers and teachers could see the city wall in the distance. At the top of the wall that was said to have been recaptured, the white-hot battle was still going on. Countless people rushed up like ants and shouted. The sound of killing was also buzzing over the city gate.
The light of the fire filled the air, the city was moving, and more people, led by soldiers and officials, were rushing towards this side.
The huge war vortex, this night, countless lives are filling up here...
Ten miles away, Mou Tuo Gang.
