Chapter 935 The Dragon Veins of the Kingdom of Jin
Yan Junzhongjun.
The three commanders Hua Rong, Suo Chao, and Guan Sheng stood on a temporary high platform and looked at the battle ahead.
The setting sun in the sky gradually lengthened their straight figures, and the cold wind blew out of the cold forests of Liaodong, bringing with it the smell of bloodshed and killing.
Spears come out, arrows rise, axes fall, and knives crack.
After Wanyan Yinshu broke through the death zone paved with flesh and blood, hand-to-hand combat finally resumed its role as the protagonist in the war.
Close combat is still the most inevitable way to compete for supremacy.
Naturally, casualties began to rise.
Both the Jin army and the Yan army died.
However, the defending side is destined to have an advantage over the attacking side. The Yan army's multi-level attack methods have caused the attacking enemies to fall one after another.
The blood mist that rose up seemed to obliterate the waves of miserable hissing sounds. One by one, the golden men fell from their horses. The horses without the driving force of their masters immediately fled, and those who were slower would be shot.
"Let me clear a path!"
Seeing that there were fewer and fewer soldiers around him, Wanyan Yinshu once again provoked a Yan army, but the tip of his spear was blocked by the armor's stomach. With a roar, he took a battle ax from the tribesman, dismounted and rushed out.
Under the Yan army's formation, the mobility of the horses could not be used, and instead they became a burden. Wanyan Yinshu could simply give up his retreat and, as the vanguard, fight with all his might and directly turn into infantry.
When the other Jin men saw this, they also gave up their horses, raised their shields to the left and right, and stood in front of them, using their bodies to cover Wanyan Yin's powerful thrust.
"Kill!
"
This Mou Ke strode forward and charged, waving his ax and swinging away the flying ax thrown at him. With his backhand, he made another crack and landed on the shield of the Yan army soldier. He rushed left and right, unstoppable, and gradually tore apart the defense line.
Make a gap.
"The golden thief must not be so presumptuous!"
But that was all, one of the generals jumped out, the spear in his hand raised an arc of light, and stabbed towards Wanyan Yinshuke's head.
Wanyan Yinshu raised his ax head and blocked the fatal blow in time, and a cloud of gold and iron flames exploded with a crisp chirping sound.
The faces of both sides changed slightly at the same time. Wanyan Yinshu felt his right arm was sore and numb. After just one blow, the opponent's strength made him despair, and he let out a crazy roar: "Come and take the name!"
A calm and cold look appeared on Yan Jiang's face, which satisfied the other party: "The one who killed you is Li Zhong!"
After a brief conversation, the two sides immediately fought together.
The battle between the two armies at the pinnacle of the world, with no fighting generals in front of them, is a reflection of comprehensive military strength. There is naturally no suspense in this battle.
Li Zhong's personal force may not be as good as Wanyan Yinshu, but whether it is the size of his personal guards or the coordination of the formation, there is no chance of his opponent surviving.
When Wanyan Yinshuke's plan to attack the Yan army's defense line through personal bravery failed, the Jin generals who voluntarily gave up their horses were doomed.
Even so, he still fought until the last moment. When all the Jin soldiers under his command were dead and wounded, with dozens of arrows in his body, and his body covered with blood, the Jurchen Mouke shouted in the end: "The Jin Kingdom is victorious!
"
The heavy corpse fell down with a bang, and the possible brilliance of the future simply disappeared with the wind.
Li Zhong, who was also struck by an ax and barely survived, could not help but look shocked, retreated, and began to receive treatment from military doctors.
The commander standing on the high platform of the Chinese army saw this scene clearly.
Guan Sheng was the first to speak, with an unprecedented solemnity in his voice: "The generals are brave and determined, and the soldiers are well-equipped and powerful. They are really great soldiers. If such a powerful army annexes the Liao Kingdom, it will definitely become a formidable enemy!"
Suo Chao said: "'If you advance and retreat repeatedly, endure for a long time, and you will die when you are cool, you can win.' Your Majesty said, in fact, if these people outside the wall want to rise, they must have ferocious fighting power. They
There is only one capital left, and that is ruthlessness! Be ruthless to your enemies, and be even ruthless to yourself!"
Hua Rong remained silent, looking sharply at the entanglement of the two wings, tapping his fingers lightly, as if he missed an arrow, and then turned to look at Wanyan Lou's room.
"Wanyan Talan! Attack the left wing and tear open the defense line!"
Wanyan Lou's office is issuing orders.
He could not see the death of Wanyan Yinshuke, but the fluctuations in the Yan army's battle formation were clear. The casualties of the vanguard cavalry were all exhausted, which did not move the Jurchen commander. His face was as hard as stone, and his eyes were
As cold as ice and snow.
The fighting on the battlefield seemed to have nothing to do with him. He was just a bystander, giving instructions casually to speed up the progress of the battle.
As a result, another plotter, Wanyan Talan, led the crowd and rushed out.
He stretched his bow and nocked an arrow, and the arrow was like a locust.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh——"
This one was different from Wanyan Yinshu. The Korean horn bow showed terrifying range and accuracy in his hands. With several arrows in succession, several crossbowmen were actually killed by him.
Those who followed Wanyan Talan were also people with superb archery skills, wandering outside the ultimate range of the divine arm bow, constantly testing and sniping.
In the hands of the extremely poor Jin people, you can't see that kind of cluster coverage shooting. They prefer sniper shooting. This habit has not changed since the invasion of the Central Plains in history.
Therefore, at this time, the tricky archery skills were brought into full play, and the arrows rained down like an endless stream. Like the slanting wind and heavy rain, sometimes they were dense and sometimes scattered.
Compared with Wanyan Yinshuke's charge just now, the disturbance in this scene was actually smaller, but Wanyan Loushi's eyes brightened and he became more determined: "Very good, even if two Meng'an are killed and injured, as long as Yan Yan is torn apart,
The military defense line is all worth it!"
Hua Rong's face darkened and he said, "We can't stay here for so long!"
In fact, the cavalry of the foreign barbarians rarely displays the ability to fight in groups. They rely more on the high mobility of the war horses, constantly suppressing them with arrows, and finally break up the enemy's formation. Once the army formation collapses, they can trample each other.
The defeated army suffered heavy casualties.
On the other hand, the Yan army pays attention to coordinated operations. Each unit performs its own duties, and the soldiers rely closely on each other. Each stabbing and killing has a fixed rhythm. Thousands of heavy infantry can form a long steel wall on the battlefield.
, no matter how many troops and horses there are, it will be difficult to shake it.
Therefore, Hua Rong was initially content and unafraid. The casualties of the defenders were much smaller. The number of Jurchens was still very small. Thirty thousand elites were the strength of the whole country. If the losses continued, the Yan army would gain. After the opponent suffered heavy casualties, they would realize the difficulty and retreat.
retreat.
But at this time, the Jurchens not only gave full play to their individual advantage, Wanyan Loushi showed determination to fight to the end, which even made him worried.
After all, the energetic Yan army who had rested in the Xi chariot only had less than 3,000 men. The remaining soldiers were inevitably tired under the rapid march and could not perform at their best.
At this moment, the casualties of the Yan army are also rising. When the exhausted Yan army has to take the lead, it is really hard to say whether the defense line will be completely torn apart by the Jin army.
"If you want to block the enemy at your door and kill them, you have to pay the price. This Jurchen is really lucky. She didn't come early or late, but she arrived at the same time as us..."
Just as Hua Rong sighed secretly, Guan Sheng asked for orders again: "Commander, I am willing to lead the troops out to meet the enemy!"
Hua Rong looked at him: "The Jin army is so powerful that I have never seen it in my life. It is the formidable enemy of our Yan country. There is no room for failure in this battle. Commander Guan, you should know what I am worried about."
"Among the ten army commanders, you are the only one who has not made any great achievements since Bianliang City. You are increasingly trying to prove yourself. Your two lieutenants, Wei Dingguo and Shan Tinggui, all have this mentality. This is human nature and cannot be ignored.
avoid……"
If he were a civil servant, he would definitely not speak so straightforwardly, but Hua Rong hated such vague and roundabout ways. The key was the next decision: "So if Commander Guan leads the cavalry to attack, can he withstand such a sudden attack?"
pressure to achieve this crucial victory for our army?"
Guan Sheng originally listened to the first half of the paragraph and pursed his lips, showing his disappointment that he could not hide. But when it came to the final twist and turn, he couldn't contain his excitement again. He clasped his fists and accepted the order: "We will definitely live up to the high expectations of the Commander-in-Chief. We will win."
Golden man!”
Seeing that Guan Sheng was defeated and Suo Chao failed to attack, he was not disappointed and cheered up: "Are we going to dispatch the heavy armored cavalry regiment? That name is quite strange and impressive..."
Hua Rong said: "That is the trump card prepared by your Majesty for the expedition. I have hidden it in my mother's beard. Use it immediately!"
The number of cavalry in the Song Dynasty was extremely pitiful. For such a large dynasty, the number was less than ten thousand, and most of them were Tibetan soldiers. This was related to the lack of horses in the Song Dynasty, not the complete lack of land to raise horses. There were quite a few interest disputes and a vicious cycle.
Yan Ting's army can be lean and simple, but it must have systematic cavalry. Taking advantage of the Liao Kingdom's tribute of war horses, the Yan army also trained a cavalry internally.
At this time, the flags were waving and the horns were blasting. The auxiliary soldiers from all directions saw it and ran back one after another to bring out the strong and stocky horses.
These war horses were also carefully selected, and some were even qualified to play behind the lions. From the baggage team, we took out armor, spears, shields, lassoes and divine arm bows, and armed them one by one.
The Yan army of 3,000 that had been recuperating before, 800 of them had been waiting. At this time, they all took their positions, led by Guan Sheng, Wei Dingguo and Shan Tinggui. Each of them was accompanied by three or four auxiliary soldiers, wearing armor and stomach.
, and then help him get on his horse.
"Is the Yan army really unable to hold back and want to fight back?"
When the Yan army began to change their formation, Wanyan Loushi noticed it immediately and looked overjoyed.
Although on the battlefield, as the commander-in-chief, his subordinates were just numbers, but his heart was bleeding and he did not want his people to die so tragically.
If the Yan army sends out cavalry, it would be a dream. With the same arms, the Jin army will teach the Yan army what it means to be unparalleled in cavalry and archery!
But then, as the eight hundred cavalry commanded by Guan Sheng rumbled out, Wanyan Loushi's eyes suddenly froze, and his hair stood on end: "No! Heavy armored cavalry!"
Looking at the commotion of the Jin army in the distance, Hua Rong smiled: "People who are not familiar with military affairs often think that defeating the strong with the weak is a famous general, but they don't know that bullying the weak with the strong is the right way. And since I, the Yan State, are strong, I will naturally defeat the strong."
Take advantage of national strength to the extreme!”
"Your Majesty has said that if the Jin Army's light cavalry is difficult to defeat, send out the 'Iron Buddha' to defeat them!"
