Chapter 463 Battle of Taiyuan

Wanyan Hujia saw that the Song army was no longer attacking the city, so he arrested people in the city and threw the unarmed people under the city.

Those people were thrown down in front of the Song army and fell to the ground to death.

Even women and children were not spared, which undoubtedly aroused the anger of the Song army.

But Wu Jie still did not take action. Countless people came to ask for a fight, but he blocked them all.

Wanyan Hujia saw that this move could not make the Song army fight, so he felt that there was no point in throwing more people down, so he had no choice but to give up.

In this way, the two sides spent time until November 28th.

Wanyan's mother's food supply was about to run out, so the Jin army in the city searched for food from civilians' homes.

A large number of scouts would report the Jin army's movements to Wu Jie every day.

Finally, on the first day of December, Wanyan's mother couldn't bear it any longer, and the soldiers' daily rations were reduced by half, which caused countless people to complain. If this continued, let alone fight, it would be a question of whether they could leave.

Wanyan's mother decided not to spend time with Wu Jie here. Some people advised her to go south to rob the Song people of food, but Yelujin thought this method was inappropriate.

A lonely army went deep into the Song Dynasty under the condition of food shortage. Isn't this seeking death?

No matter how stupid Wanyan's mother was, she would not be like this. He decided to abandon Taiyuan first, return to Zhending to replenish military supplies, gather more troops and horses, and then come back to recapture Taiyuan.

In the morning of this day, the Jin army planned to break camp and withdraw its troops.

This news reached Wu Jie's ears, and he stopped drinking. He immediately asked Guo Hao to summon a group of forwards, cross the trench, and assume a decisive battle stance.

At noon, Wanyan's mother, who was about to evacuate, heard that the Song army had come out. She was stunned for a moment and said, "Really?"

Yelujin quickly said: "Du Tong, this is a trick of the Song people!"

However, Wanyan's mother, who was unwilling to give up, could not listen to Yelujin's advice at this time. He immediately ordered: "The whole army must assemble!"

"Report! Wu Tongzhi, the Jin army has begun to gather in the direction of our army!"

"Okay! Pass the order and the Chinese army will set up their formation!"

"yes!"

The war drums of the Song Army sounded.

The Jin army at the top of the city looked over and saw the Song army gathering rapidly in the distance.

Flags fluttered in the air, and the soldiers put on their armor, followed the commander, and began to form formations in an orderly manner.

Wu Jie also put on armor and rode on a war horse.

At this time, Wu Jie seemed to be two completely different people from the past. Although he was calm and composed, he had an impressive temperament.

He summoned the generals of the army and said loudly: "The gold thieves are innocent and massacred my people. Everyone in the world is filled with grief and anger! We have been ordered to punish the thieves, and now we will fight here. We share the same hatred with you, and our bodies are wrapped in horse leather!"

All the generals shouted loudly: "Fight to the death!"

After saying this, all the generals went to their respective armies, and Wu Jie went to the high platform.

When he walked up to the high platform, most people could see him.

I saw him picking up the drumsticks of the war drum and starting to beat the drum.

When everyone saw this, they became excited.

"Long live the Song Dynasty!"

With a loud shout, the Song army formation also shouted: "Long live the Song Dynasty!"

The sound shook the sky, and the momentum was like a rainbow.

Wanyan's mother laughed and said, "The Song army is finally willing to fight decisively."

Yelujin said: "Du Tong, our army's morale is now damaged and it is not suitable for a decisive battle."

"Yelujin is disturbing the morale of our troops in front of the formation. Drag him down and chop him down."

Yelujin was shocked: "Du Tong! The general is speaking from the bottom of his heart!"

"Behead it!"

Not long after, Yelujin knelt there and cursed loudly: "Wanyan Cha's mother, too much has been lost because of you, and you will pay the price for it!"

With a click, Yelujin's head rolled to the ground, blood staining a piece of white snow, and then his head was brought to Wanyan's mother.

Wanyan's mother said: "Let the whole army know that this is the fate of those who disturb the morale of the army!"

"yes!"

The Jin Army's cavalry is also ready.

The Kaizi horse cavalry looked solemn and lined up in armor, each with three horses. The horses neighed and breathed out hot air, and their hooves were pacing in the snow.

The infantry phalanx in the middle of the Jin army was also quickly listed, with horizontal and vertical lines, as if drawn with a ruler.

Living in cold areas all year round and strict military laws made the Jin army very powerful in combat.

When he learned that the war was about to begin, Wanyan Hu Jia in the city immediately boarded the tower.

He said excitedly: "Song Gou is finally willing to go to war. Send the order and prepare a group of troops to leave the city at any time to attack the Song army together with the main force of our army!"

"yes!"

The flying eagle flew over the snow-capped Taiyue Mountain and screamed sharply in the sky.

The sound of the horn sounded in the vast snowfield, resounding in all directions.

The Jin army in the middle, wearing armor and holding shields, began to advance rhythmically.

The neat footsteps were surprisingly consistent, the ground thumped, and the white snow was shaken up, forming a vague "white mist".

Flags cover the sky, swords and spears are like forests, and armor is like the sea.

The kidnappers, horses and cavalry on both sides are also ready.

The Jin army came, and the Song army also came.

The Song army also had a square formation in the middle, but the formation on the two wings was very strange.

Every fifth row is a horizontal formation, each horizontal formation is a half arc, and the gap between each horizontal formation is fifteen meters.

There are ten such horizontal formations, forming a large force hundreds of meters deep.

This is a method developed by the Tokyo Military Academy for infantry to deal with cavalry.

When the cavalry attacks the infantry, they often defeat the infantry. The infantry square formation becomes chaotic and they trample on each other. The army collapses without a fight.

This deep formation mode can minimize the collapse of the entire army caused by the collapse of soldiers.

When the two sides got closer, the crossbowmen on both sides began to fire a dense rain of arrows.

There seemed to be a large black cloud in the sky.

The arrows hit the shield wildly.

At this time, the Guaizima on both wings of the Jin army also dispatched.

They were so powerful that their horses' hooves were like thunder, rolling up the white snow on the ground. From a distance, they looked like heavenly soldiers floating above the clouds.

The momentum is like the water of the Yellow River coming from the sky.

With overwhelming power, they rumbled over the left and right flanks of the Song army several miles away.

The Song Army's trebuchets began to operate. They made a dull sound, and the burning iron cannonballs were shot out, drawing bright arcs in the air and falling on the Jin Army's formation.

Each time one fell down, it shattered a piece and plowed a shocking bloodstain into it.

However, Guaizima's charge was not greatly affected.

They came overwhelmingly.

The Song Army at the front could already feel the ground trembling under their feet.

"Long live the Song Dynasty!" a commander shouted.

Several soldiers next to him also shouted loudly.

Immediately afterwards, everyone else began to shout: "Long live the Song Dynasty!"

The rows of armored infantry, as if they were made of steel, were laid out across the place, forming a solid line of defense.
