Chapter 709 Strong Army Vs Strong Army!
In fact, rainy days also cause great damage to the Baniu Crossbow.
But since it is a head-to-head duel, who would worry about this?
You can’t say that you’re afraid of damaging your armor in battle, so you don’t wear armor in battle, right?
When the arrows of the Eight Ox Crossbow appeared, the rain curtain was cut in an instant, making a dense crisp sound, countless pieces of rain bloomed around, and there was even a vague cloud of water mist.
From a distance, it looks like a water dragon rising from the ground, which is spectacular.
Although the power of the arrow has been reduced a lot, it still has a range of several hundred meters, which is farther than a normal bow and arrow.
The arrows rushed into the Jin's cavalry group and hit the Jin's armor, making a sound of metal collision.
Although they were protected by armor, some cavalry were still affected. Five cavalry fell off their horses one after another. Some were killed on the spot and others were seriously injured.
In that part that was covered, the cavalry's impact rhythm was also obviously affected.
The cavalry behind them quickly walked around and continued to run forward.
The second wave of arrows rose from the ground again and struck the Jin Army's cavalry group.
It is difficult to use arrows to deal with kidnapping horses, otherwise the Song army would not have been beaten so badly in the first year of Jingkang.
Arrows are usually used to suppress the formation. In addition to limited killing of enemies, the most important thing is to cause psychological pressure on the enemy, disrupt the enemy's charge, and weaken the overall impact of the enemy.
Under the impact of the two waves of arrows, the overall attack rhythm of the Jin Army was obviously a little messed up.
The one at the front quickly closed the distance.
Mud water splashed under the horses' hooves, and the rain hit the golden man's armor and scattered countless water droplets.
At this time, the group of war horses was really roaring like a torrent of steel, and the sense of oppression was suffocating.
However, the Song army still stood calmly, no one moved.
The Song army could not use crossbows, so the Jin men could not close the distance and then mount and shoot.
In this regard, the two sides are evenly matched.
After rushing in, the long spears of the Jin Army cavalry pierced through intensively.
For a while, the sound of weapons clashing could be heard endlessly.
Some extremely powerful cavalrymen even waved their maces, knocking away the protruding spears of the Song army, and took the opportunity to rush to the shields.
The huge impact directly crushed the shield, and the hand behind the shield was broken in response.
The comrades in the back immediately helped to push it up skillfully, while the comrades next to him drew their swords and slashed the horse's legs.
The war horse whined and fell to the ground. When it fell to the ground, it still had forward impact.
More than a thousand kilograms of war horses and men fell over and impacted, overturning several Song soldiers, and even fell on the Song soldier whose arm had been broken just now, sliding on the ground for more than two meters.
Shouts of pain rang out.
The Jin Army soldier also had a hard time. After he fell off his horse, he fell into the crowd. One of his legs was crushed by the fallen horse, and his whole body was dragged for more than one meter.
The surrounding Song soldiers had quick hands and eyes. They picked up the iron bone flower and smashed it down, directly hitting the helmet.
With a bang, rainwater splashed everywhere, and the iron bones cracked the helmet, and sticky brain matter spewed out.
All this happened in less than ten seconds.
People around him had no time to worry about the wounded and dead. The officer quickly shouted: "Hurry up and make it up!"
The soldiers behind immediately rushed to the front, and as soon as they took up their positions, the Jin army's subsequent attacks were already coming one after another.
Once again, the same method was used to attack and collapse the Song army that had just been replaced and was not ready.
This time the officer did not shout, and the surrounding Song troops quickly came up to fill in the front line that their comrades had sacrificed their lives to carry.
When the Jin army behind saw this, they immediately turned their horses and changed their direction.
The scariest thing about kidnappers is that they can change direction flexibly and efficiently in a limited space.
This is a tactic that has been used in countless actual battles and requires very high mobility of the army.
In the hands of a famous general like Wanyan Yinshuke, this tactic was almost fully utilized.
After the attempted attack failed,
The kidnapping horse quickly and methodically adjusted its direction, leaving enough room for those coming from behind to turn around.
The Jin Army's cavalry roared and seemed to be still demonstrating against the Song Army in front of them.
Not long after, the kidnappers and horses all turned around in front of the Song army's formation.
After withstanding the first round of tentative attacks by the Jin Army, the pressure on the Song Army's military formation dropped sharply.
At this time, the Song army was unable to deal with the dead and wounded, so the messengers could only report the news to Wang Gui, who ordered the logistics troops to come and deal with it.
"Report, the Jin army failed to attack the rear of our right wing and has turned back. Three people were killed and five were injured."
"Notify the Logistics and Medical Department to handle it."
"yes!"
Under normal circumstances, if Guaizima launches a second attack in a short period of time, logistics and medical treatment will be suspended.
Wang Gui looked at the opposite side with cold eyes.
Not only did he receive intelligence from the rear of the right wing, but the left wing was also attacked by the Jin Army's Guaizima from different directions.
This is just the beginning, the Jin Army is using this method to torture the enemy.
The Song army stood silently and solemnly in the rain, like an indestructible iron plate.
Later, when many academics talked about the Battle of Qizhou in the Fifth Song-Jin War, they pointed fingers at Wang Gui, blaming him for not understanding military affairs and insisting on going out to the military camp to fight the Jin people head-on.
Isn’t it nice to be in the military camp?
If they set up horse stakes and dig horse pits, the Jin army will not be able to get through soon?
They were all filled with righteous indignation and even believed that the deaths of the Song army were caused by Wang Gui's stupidity.
Later, even Yu Yunwen couldn't stand listening anymore. He said this: It can only be said that these academics really lack basic common sense.
Wang Gui's mission in the Fifth Song-Jin War was to hold off Wanyan Yinshuke, not to protect himself.
If you want to protect yourself, it is certainly feasible to stay in the camp every day.
But if he stayed in the camp every day, Wanyan Yinshu would definitely give up on him and turn around to reinforce Hejian Mansion.
Once Wanyan Yinshu reaches Hejian Mansion, Zhang Xian's troops will simply not be able to hold him back.
Everything in the world is not subject to personal will, just like some people don't want to do it, but they have to do it.
Just like Wang Gui also believed that there would be no casualties in his military camp, but he had to go out to fight.
Utopian theorists tend to think that things are simple because they only think about themselves and have no ability to objectively analyze the overall situation. Their thinking is too simple, and there are many constraints in reality.
Yin Shu was not discouraged at this time, he was experienced in many battles.
However, the tenacity of this Song army was indeed beyond his expectation.
It stands to reason that after having been facing off for an hour in the rain, the feeble-minded Song Army should have relaxed in terms of willpower, and the defensive power of the military formation should have been greatly weakened.
However, in the first tentative attack, the Song Army's performance was not the same.
The Jin army began to regroup in an orderly manner.
