The blade slid across the ice and snow, and there was a vast expanse of color in the field of vision. ￠￡The sky just lit up, and the wind and snow in front of me were stirring and swirling.
With a thud, mixed with the countless noises around, the bloody and viscous breath rushed towards the face, someone beside him stabbed with a spear, the arrows of the companions behind shot out, and the bowstring rang. Mao Yishan's eyes widened, looking at the appearance of the tall northeastern man in front of him with blood spurting out, from his ribs to his chest, the thick blood spurted out from there just now, splashing his face, some even It rushed into his mouth, hot.
summer village.
It has been half an hour since the battle began, and a soldier named Mao Yishan killed the enemy for the first time in his life.
He joined the army a few years ago. Joining the army, getting a salary, flattering Shangguan, and occasionally training In the middle of the night, when blood and fire burned along with killing and fleeing, he also saw the scene of his companions being chopped to the ground and blood flowing into rivers, but he never killed anyone.
That's okay, he's just a pay man. Above the battle formation, there are huge crowds. Outside the battle formation, there are crowds of people. No one pays attention to him. No one has expectations for him. worry about him.
Until he came to this Xia Village, for some unknown reason, everyone was defeated, gathered together, and held a group to keep warm. He heard them tell stories like this, about those very powerful people, generals, heroes, and so on. He followed the food, followed the training, and he didn't expect too much in his heart, but he felt vaguely. After training for so long, it would be great if I could kill two people.
Originally, he also thought about leaving here, this village is too remote, and they actually wanted to have a hard fight with Jurchen. But in the end, I stayed, mainly because there was something to do every day. After eating, I went to training, and after training, I went to shovel snow. At night, everyone would gather around and talk, sometimes laughing, sometimes making people want to cry, and gradually I got to know a few people around. If it were in other places, after such a defeat, he could only find a Shangguan he did not know, and a few fellow villagers who spoke with a similar accent, and swarmed him when he was leading the military. When there is nothing, everyone can only hide in the tent to keep warm. No one in the army will really pay attention to him. After such a big defeat, there will be no training.
Relatively speaking, he prefers the atmosphere of Xia Village, at least he knows what he is going to do next, even because he is very hard at shoveling snow. Several high-ranking Shangguan also mentioned him one day: "This guy is willing to do things and has the strength." His Shangguan said this. Then several other higher-ranking officers nodded, and one of the younger officers patted him on the shoulder: "Don't be exhausted, brother."
How can I be so tired...
Then he heard that the powerful people went out to fight the Jurchens, and then came the news that they even won. When these people came back, the most powerful scholar in the entire Xia Village took the stage to speak. He felt that he didn't understand much, but it was time to kill. His hands trembled for half the night, and he was looking forward to it, but he didn't know if he could kill one or two enemies - it would be nice if he didn't get hurt. Arrived the next morning. The grudges attacked. He was in the middle of the front row and had been waiting behind the wooden house, and the archer was still a little further behind.
The resentful army rushed up, and in front of it was the wooden outer wall on the east side of Xia Village, which was more than 100 meters long. I don't know when, the sky lighted up, and his commander held a knife and said, "Let's go!" He took the knife and turned out of the wooden house, and the wind and snow separated in front of him.
He and the soldiers around him rushed to the wooden wall in front of him at the fastest speed. The bloody smell became stronger and stronger. The figures on the wooden wall flickered. Just as he was about to rush up, the soldier in front who was fighting on the camp wall suddenly fell down, but was hit by an arrow. Mao Yishan held him up and let him down, and the people around him rushed up.
When the man leaned out to kill an arrow in the shoulder, Mao Yishan was a little confused, but he immediately picked him up and ran back. When he rushed back and ran up the wall, he just cut it off He came up with a hook, but he hadn't encountered the enemy for a long time. When he was a little discouraged, someone suddenly jumped over the wall and killed him. Mao Yishan was still hiding behind the camp wall. Killed himself.
In fact, he was already familiar with the bloody aura, but the fact that he personally killed the enemy made him slightly stunned. But the next moment, his body still rushed forward, and he slashed out again, but this slash was in the air, and two spears stabbed out, one pierced the man's neck, and the other pierced into the man's neck. The man's chest stabbed the man in mid-air and pushed it out.
The snow mist swirled in the nose, and people around the field of vision were intertwined. Where someone jumped in just now, a simple ladder was standing outside, and a man from Liaodong rushed in. Mao Yishan only felt that the whole world was alive, and his mind was full of the scene of the fiasco that day. A companion in the barracks with him was killed on the ground. The ground was covered in blood. The flow came out, and there were even those who didn't die. The man in his 30s and 40s cried out, "Help, forgive me..." He didn't dare to stop, he could only run as fast as he could, urinating in his crotch...
He rushed up and slashed from the upper left to the lower right in front of the Liaodong Junhan's head. With a bang, the opponent swung the sword to block it. Mao Yishan was still shouting "Ah-", and the second knife came from the upper right. He slashed and slammed again. He felt that the tiger's mouth was numb, and the opponent fell without a word. Mao Yishan shrank behind the camp wall, knowing that the knife had split the opponent's head.
"Hahaha...hahaha..." He squatted there, making a low whistle, then grabbed a hard rock with sharp edges and corners behind the parapet, turned around and waved it out, the soldier who ran up the ladder bowed. Then he ducked, and the stone hit the thigh of a runner on the snow behind him. The man jolted, took up a bow and arrow and shot it here. Mao Yishan hurriedly retreated, and the arrow flew through the sky. He was horrified. He grabbed a stone and was about to throw it again. The soldier on the stairs had already run up a few steps and was about to charge when an arrow was hit in the neck.
The archer ran past Mao Yishan: "Good job!"
Mao Yishan replied loudly: "Kill, kill well!"
Someone on the battlefield agrees: "Leave them all here—"
A few feet away from the wooden wall, a tragic battle was going on, and several resentful army forwards had already rushed in. But then the soldiers of the Wu Dynasty who rushed up cut off the connection with the rear. Several people shouted and fought frantically. One person's hand was cut off and blood was scattered. The man who was besieged and killed on his side was equally crazy, covered in blood, and he was killed with the grudge men who wanted to kill back and tear apart the defensive line, shouting: "If you come, don't even think about going back! Your father hurts. you-"
Outside the wooden wall, the soldiers of the resentful army rushed in.
No matter what kind of siege. As long as there is no room for tricks, the general strategy is to break the opponent's defense limit with a strong attack. The fighting consciousness and will of the resentful soldiers are not weak. At this point in the battle, the sky is full, and Zhang Linghui and Liu Shunren have also I basically saw the strengths and weaknesses of this camp wall, and started a real storm. The camp wall is not too high, so it is not uncommon for the soldiers of the other side to sacrifice their lives to climb up and rush in. However, the Xia Village side did not fully rely on this one-story-high camp wall, behind the camp wall. The defense line at the moment is surprisingly thick. There are several teams with high combat power. In order to kill people, they will deliberately let go of their defenses.
Mao Yishan hid behind the camp wall, and when he was waiting for a man against the army to rush up, he stood up and slashed the opponent's thigh with a knife. The man's body had already started to fall into the wooden wall, and the wave of his hand was also a knife. Mao Yishan shrank his head, and then hummed, the knife light passed over his head. The image of the enemy whose head was chopped off flashed in his mind, and he thought that he was also beheaded. Two-thirds of the two legs of the man against the army had been chopped off, and he was screaming and slashing at the camp wall while rolling.
Mao Yishan only felt that there was blood all over his head. He wanted to rush over, but the desperate slashing of the steel knife of the resentful soldier made him retreat again. Then he grabbed a wooden stick and slammed it on the man's head and body. After hitting the opponent several times, the opponent stopped moving, and there was blood all around. A companion rushed over and fought with a grieving soldier behind him, then fell to his feet, his chest was blood red, Mao Yishan turned around, and fought with the grieving soldier again. In one shot, his wooden stick gained the upper hand and embedded the opponent's steel knife, but the burly man who resented the army, kicked Mao Yishan's heart with a violent kick, and kicked him out. He couldn't get up in one breath, and his hands were desperately grabbing at the side, but the soldier of the resentful army was already rushing with a knife.
Inside the camp wall, someone rushed at high speed, kicked on the inner wall, jumped high, and the figure slashed at the waist of the resentful army man, Mao Yishan saw blood and internal organs rushing.
The man who rescued him climbed to the platform inside the camp wall and fought with the members of the resentful army who rushed in one after another. At this time, Mao Yishan felt blood on his hands and body, and he grabbed the knife on the ground - it was the He chopped off his legs and beat him to death—the enemy of the enemy—getting up and about to speak, the companion who stopped Jurchen from coming up was also shot with an arrow in the shoulder, and then another arrow, and Mao Yishan yelled at him. , taking his place.
At this moment, he only felt that this was the first time in his life that he had touched the battlefield, the first time he wanted to win so much and wanted to kill the enemy.
From the front, the soldiers of the resentful army swarmed, and from the rear, there were also generals who noticed this weak point and led the soldiers. He felt the companions rushing next to him, felt the fiercely killed enemy in front, and suddenly avoided an arrow. The movement of dodging was almost subconscious, but he actually avoided the direction of the arrow. And while evading, he did not completely retract into the parapet, but kept an eye on the movement ahead.
It doesn't matter if you die, I'll pull you all down...
At this time, Mao Yishan felt the air move.
Two feet away from his side, inside a camp wall higher than this side, firelight and air waves suddenly spewed out, the camp wall shook, Mao Yishan even saw the snowflakes scattered and solidified in the air. The shape of the moment, in this snowstorm, there are clear traces swept into the distance. After that, a roaring explosion sounded continuously on the snow in the distance. There is a dense place where the resentful army is charging. At this moment, dozens of traces are formed in the snowflakes. They are almost connected, and the raging explosion drowns the crowd.
Boom boom boom boom boom-
Snowflakes, air waves, shields, human bodies, black smoke, white vapor, red blood plasma, at this moment. All rose up in the barrier set off by the explosion, and everyone on the battlefield was stunned for a moment.
Then, Canggu's loud horn sounded.
The side door of the camp opened just like that.
A heavy cavalry in black armor and a cape appeared in the sight of the resentful army. Behind Mao Yishan and the others, shield guards and archers swarmed over.
The fight only stopped for a moment. Then continue.
Not long after, the second round of explosions sounded.
The roar and heat of the Elm Cannon scorched the entire battlefield back and forth...
****************
When the explosion sounded abruptly, Zhang Linghui and Liu Shunren felt a little stunned.
From the time they decided to storm the camp, they had already prepared for a tough battle. The other party used more than 4,000 elite soldiers as the skeleton to support a camp of 20,000 people. However, as long as these 15,600 weak soldiers can't support the wall, once the dead increase, they will turn around and affect the morale of the more than 4,000 elite soldiers.
It is not impossible to break through, but there is a price to pay.
This is nothing, even if they played a not very glorious role in the battle of Chaobai River, after all, they worked hard among the starving people of Liaodong. Not wanting to fight recklessly with the Jurchens does not mean that they are just like officials of the Wu Dynasty. Thinking that you don't have to pay for anything you do. Really desperate, such awareness and strength. They all have.
Chang Shengjun has already betrayed twice, and there is no possibility of betrayal for the third time. In such a situation, using the strength at hand to get credit in front of Zongwang and get a place in the future Jurchen court is the only way out. Figured this out. There is nothing left to say.
They attacked in the most orthodox way.
This initial attack is usually used to test the opponent's quality, first do a feint, and then crowd it up, for a wise general. It will soon be possible to test how strong the opponent's toughness is. Therefore, for the first half an hour, they were still somewhat restrained, and then they started a targeted high-intensity attack.
The outer wall of the entire Xia Village valley is surrounded from the banks of the Yellow River. Although it took two months to build the outer wall, it is not easy to build a defense with a height of more than 100 meters. High and low, most places have wooden thorns extending outwards, blocking the attack of outsiders, but naturally, there are strong and weak, some places are easy to hit, and some places are not easy to hit.
An hour after the attack started, Zhang Linghui and Liu Shunren had a general grasp of the defensive situation. They launched a fierce attack against a section of the wooden wall to the east. At this time, more than 800 people had gathered under the city wall, and there were forwards. Warriors, mixed with archers who suppress soldiers on wooden walls. At the rear, there are also the Chargers who are constantly coming forward with their shields on.
If there are no variables, Zhang and Liu will directly attack here for a day, and simply break through this section of the city defense. Based on their knowledge of the military of the Wu Dynasty, this is not an excessive idea. On the other hand, the defense of the other party is also firm, which is different from the life-for-life or tragic and tragic situations in other city defenses in the Wu Dynasty that were broken. Battle of the army.
Zhang Linghui and Liu Shunren knew that the other party had put their elites into the battle, and they only hoped that they could quickly push the other party to the limit after testing the bottom line of the other party's strength. And when the battle happened to this level, Liu Shunren was also considering launching a large-scale charge against another section of the battalion defense, and then something unexpected happened.
"Firearms..."
"Wu Dynasty firearms?"
Moments after realizing the concept, before they could have more doubts, they heard the sound of the horn coming from the wind and snow, the air was shaking, the ominous meaning was being pushed up, accumulated since the beginning of the war, as if they were not The feeling of fighting against the people of the Wu Dynasty is becoming clear and strong.
"Call the cavalry to respond—"
"No! Go back! Go back—"
The moment they saw the black armored cavalry, the two generals issued different orders at almost the same time—
********************
Since the Jurchen went south, it has become the norm for the army of the Wu Dynasty to be defeated and flee in front of the Jurchen army. There are almost no exceptions in the countless battles that have followed. Even in the face of the Changsheng Army, there are very few who can deal with and resist. in such an atmosphere. An hour after the battle in Xia Village finally broke out, the elm cannon began to strike hard as a line, and then, following the advice of a young general named Yue Pengju, the heavy cavalry attacked.
Woodland beyond the outer wall during the defense of Summer Village. A piece of land has been leveled. Basically, the land of one arrow has been emptied, and among them, half of the land is left with wooden stakes, and the other half is not spacious, which is really suitable for the running of war horses.
The elm cannons blasted from different directions moved towards the direction of the resentful army, and marked an impact point about ten feet wide and more than ten feet long. Due to the limited power of artillery shells. Of course, not all of them died. In fact, if they added up, they would not reach fifty or sixty people. However, when the sound of the cannons stopped, blood, flesh, black ash, and white steam were mixed together. Injured soldiers with broken limbs, bloody bodies, crazy screams... When these things come into everyone's eyes. This place, the Charger. Almost involuntarily stopped.
On the side, more than a hundred heavy cavalry rushed down, and in that slightly low-lying place, the wooden wall facing the elites of the nearly eight hundred grudge army, Ru Lin's shield was rising.
Some middle-level generals of the resentful army began to let people charge to block the heavy cavalry. However, the explosion sounded again on the route of their charge. When the order to retreat from the camp came, everything was a little late, and the heavy cavalry was blocking their way.
Some of the people at the end were still trying to flee back - a few escaped - but then the heavy cavalry had blocked the way like a barrier, and they were lined up in two rows. Swinging the knife, he began to push toward the camp wall like a meat grinder.
The slaughter began.
The cavalry of the resentful army did not dare to come. In such an explosion, a few horses approached and were shocked. Long-distance bows and arrows were meaningless to the heavy cavalry, but they would shoot their own people.
At this moment, in the face of the sudden surprise attack from Xia Village, the nearly 800 soldiers of the grudge army outside the camp wall to the east seemed to be surrounded by an urn city. There are many soldiers and generals of the middle and lower ranks among them who are good at fighting. When the heavy cavalry came over, these people tried to form a gun formation to resist, but it was meaningless. On the rear camp wall, the archers were condescending, shooting arrows wantonly to kill the people below. crowd.
Some people are still trying to attack above, but in the reinforced defense above, it is still a dream to break through the shield wall and the spears and guns behind in a short time.
The crowd trying to flee to both sides was shot by more archers, and some of the grudge soldiers tried to surrender, and they were then run over by heavy cavalry.
This sudden scene shocked everyone, and the resentful soldiers in other directions ran away after receiving the order to retreat - in fact, even in a high-intensity battle, in such a charge, soldiers shot by bows and arrows, It’s still not a lot. Most people rushed under the wooden wall. If they didn’t rush into the wall to meet people, they would still survive in large numbers—but during this time, the surrounding has become quiet, only There was this depression, and the boiling lasted for a while.
The grudge soldiers were slaughtered.
From a distance, Zhang Linghui and Liu Shunren watched all this—they could only watch, even if they invested 10,000 people, they wouldn't even be able to keep this heavy cavalry. Many people—the entire Changsheng Army troops, were watching all this. When the last scream disappeared in the wind and snow, the corpses stretched across the depression and snow slopes, and blood flowed into rivers. Then the heavy cavalry dismounted, the shields on the camp wall were put down, and the long row of archers was still aiming at the corpses below to prevent anyone from pretending to be dead.
"Damn, I fuck his ancestors!" Zhang Linghui clenched his fists, his blue veins burst out, watching all this, his fists trembled, "Who is this..."
Before that, they had dealt with the Wu Dynasty many times. Those officials were ugly and the army was rotten. They all knew about it. That's why they gave up the Wu Dynasty and surrendered to the Jurchen. Have you ever seen a person who can do this kind of thing in the Wu Dynasty...
"Cut off their heads and throw them back!" On the wooden wall, Yue Fei, who was in charge of this attack, gave the order, full of murderous intent, "Next, let them step on the heads and attack!"
He never showed mercy to his enemies.
The heavy cavalry cut off the heads, and then threw them out in the direction of the resentful army. One by one, the heads crossed the air and landed on the snow.
On the foothills farther away, there were people watching all this, watching the members of the resentful army being slaughtered like pigs and dogs, watching the heads of those people being thrown out one by one, trembling all over.
… so simple.
"Eat!" Ning Yi clapped his hands on an observation deck in the valley and said so.
This is the beginning of the Battle of Summer Village.
It wasn't long before the entire valley was boiling over for this first victory...
Zhang and Liu temporarily withdrew their troops and made simple siege equipment that could be used to attack the camp at the fastest speed. On the other hand, a scout was crossing the snowy field and informed Guo Yaoshi of the result of the battle...
… and Wanyan Zongwang. (Please search for floating astronomy, better and faster!
