The air was filled with the smell of gunpowder smoke and blood, and the flames were still burning on the earth. Bodies were lying on the ground, and hysterical shouts, screams, running sounds and even crying were mixed together.
The cavalry no longer dared to circle the arc and rushed towards the Chinese army's human wall. In front of them, rows of smoke rose.
The war horse rolled down while running, and the knight on the horse fell to the ground. The weight of the war horse smashed the knight's body into pieces. The bones were broken and the flesh was squeezed. The blood rushed out of the exploded skin, and the companions behind him fell one after another.
At the moment of the full-scale confrontation, Ning Yi was on horseback looking at everything around him.
If it were in later film and television works, perhaps at this time, grand and tragic music would be played. The music might be called "Twilight of the Empire" or "Ruthless History"...
Haidongqing, who could not find his master, was flying in the sky.
Wen Sa fell into a pool of blood.
He was indirectly tripped by the second round of rocket launches, and his armor fell to the ground, causing him to faint for a moment. When he woke up, countless buzzing sounds were playing in his head.
A war horse with a broken leg was neighing and struggling aside. In the distance, there was a scene of a war horse being burnt black. The remaining flames were even burning on the ground. There were injured war horses, and the wounded man stood up staggeringly... He turned around and looked
Towards the other end of the battlefield, the turbulent cavalry rushed towards the Chinese army's position, and then like waves hitting a rock, the horses in front fell like a mountain, and more were like scattered waves, running chaotically in different directions.
go.
No specific reaction even flashed through his mind, and even the recognition of "it's over" didn't come to him at this time.
As a Jurchen general, he has experienced countless battles, victories, and failures. He has also experienced the experience of getting up among the corpses of his companions, but at this moment, it seemed real and illusory.
A feeling he had never experienced in his life.
The Han man named Ning Yi revealed his unbelievable trump card. Daikin's 30,000 elite men were held in his palm.
This kind of cognition is actually mixed with more vaguely perceptible things. Before the war, there is a possibility of fraud on Ning Yi. It is not that everyone in the army is unaware - but at most, they will
All I could think of was how 30,000 people were defeated and then regrouped after retreating.
Thirty thousand Jurchen elites were forcefully swallowed by six thousand Black Flags. Even in the worst imagination, no one would discuss such a possibility with their companions.
But what if it's true?
The smoke, flames, and blood-filled vision had made it difficult for him to see clearly the situation on the other side of the Chinese army's position, but he still recalled Ning Yi's indifferent gaze.
This Han man who killed his commander in the northwest without losing his command turned it into reality on this day.
So what will happen next...
Something like this flashed through his mind, and then with his body stained with blood, he screamed "Ah——" toward the front. After the guardians passed by Dagang, they wreaked havoc on the world, with the same shout,
Wen Sa heard it many times from his opponents. Some came from the killing fields of the confrontation, and some came from the prisoners who lost their families and lost their lives in the war. Those who were covered in blood, with tears and despair in their eyes could always make him feel his own
of strength.
At this moment, he made the same hysterical cry for the first time.
…
The human wall continued to advance in front of the bullets and turned into corpses. The bombing flames once formed a barrier, clearing a burning land across the crowd from the crowd. The shells blasted the human bodies into twisted shapes.
On this day at Wangyuan Bridge, it cannot be said that the Jurchen troops participating in the battle lacked courage or chose the wrong way to deal with it. Looking from the back to the front, it is certainly a wrong choice to let Ning Yi choose the fighter plane when crossing the river.
But in the case of thirty thousand versus six thousand, Wanyan Xiebao's concession could only be regarded as a crime other than war.
Faced with technological progress that has crossed a threshold, no matter who it is, someone will be stabbed in the head. Faced with a huge change, Xian Bao's immediate judgment and reaction are worthy of the standards of a famous general.
It was impossible for him to make an order to turn around 30,000 people as soon as the war started. The only option was to fight quickly and break through the strange barrier formed by the opponent.
Most of the middle and low-level generals among the Jin soldiers also felt such a sense of urgency as soon as the trumpet sounded.
At least in the first moment of the battlefield confrontation, the Jin soldiers launched a charge that could be described as united.
However, some people's sense of fear had already arisen moments after the second round of rocket bombing.
The second round of saturation firing of rockets was carried out in groups of five. Seven groups totaling thirty-five rockets were filmed in a short period of time, falling in long rows on the central axis of the 30,000-person formation. The rising flames even briefly
Overwhelming the sound of the Jurchen army charging into battle, each group of rockets would almost draw a curve on the ground. The crowd would be emptied, human bodies would be lifted off, and the crowd charging behind would suddenly stop, and then a raging crowd would form.
Pressure and trampling.
One group of rockets even landed in the Jin's artillery ammunition pile, causing an even more violent chain explosion.
The central axis of the charge suddenly became chaotic.
Some people were even subconsciously frightened and slowed down.
On the front line, a round of shooting from more than 4,000 muskets absorbed a lot of blood. In a short period of time, thousands of people were shot and nearly 2,000 people fell. It was really like a dam bursting.
The embankment was a majestic scene like a rolling flood. This scene was accompanied by huge clouds of smoke and dust. The people behind them pushed over in the blink of an eye, but the entire charging front was actually distorted out of shape.
Generally speaking, people who have been on the battlefield for a long time will be accustomed to a saying. On the battlefield, an ordinary army will collapse if it loses more than 10% of the damage. Those who can withstand 20% of the damage are already elite soldiers. Those who can withstand more than 30% of the damage without collapsing will be
It is a powerful army that can dominate the world. But this statement actually has its scope of application.
The difference between 10%, 20%, and 30% damage mainly refers to the losses that the army can bear within a certain period of time in a battle. An ordinary army that loses 10% can still continue to fight after being regrouped. In a continuous battle,
, such a ratio does not apply. In terms of quality, the revenge army led by Xie Bao is a strong army that can lose more than 30% in ordinary combat and still be able to fight. However, on the battlefield in front of us, it is
Such a measurement method cannot be applied.
The immediate damage was too great.
The courage aroused in the first moment of battle will make people temporarily forget their fear and charge desperately. But of course, such courage has its limits. If something is shot hard at the peak of courage, or it is the charge
When a soldier suddenly reacts, his seemingly infinite courage will suddenly fall to the bottom.
The three rows of muskets fired one round, and then another round, and the surging army fell like surging wheat. At this time, the 30,000 Jurchens were charging for a length of 600 to 700 meters.
When they arrived at the 100-meter front line, their speed had actually slowed down. Although the shouts were loud and loud, the soldiers who had not yet reacted still maintained their high morale to fight, but no one really entered the place where they could engage in hand-to-hand combat with the Chinese army.
Line.
The Jurchen generals wearing heavy armor may still be lagging behind at this time. The soldiers wearing light and soft armor are actually unable to resist the penetrating power of muskets after crossing the 100-meter line - or the 50-meter line.
The muskets fired mechanically for several rounds. A small number of soldiers were injured by the flying arrows, and several muskets exploded during the shooting, injuring the shooters themselves. However, others in the queue just loaded the ammunition mechanically.
, aim and shoot. After that, the third round of rockets was launched. Dozens of rockets drew a crooked line on the 100-meter line where the Jurchens charged.
The fear can no longer be suppressed.
Some soldiers who rolled to the ground began to pretend to be dead. Some running soldiers in the crowd stopped with weak legs. They looked around and even looked behind. Chaos had begun to spread. Wanyan Xiebao Hengdao immediately stood up and shouted to the surroundings.
General: "Follow me and kill the enemy——"
Later, someone shouted again: "Those who stop will die -" Such shouts certainly played a certain role, but in fact, the charge at this time was completely without the constraints of the formation, and the military law enforcement team had no room for law enforcement.
In the Chinese army's position, Ning Yi commanded the rocket formation: "Prepare three groups, move towards their back road, and tell them that they can't leave -"
After that, some Jurchen generals and soldiers launched one charge after another towards the Chinese army's positions, but to no avail.
Before noon, countless plumes of smoke rose from the plain at the south end of the Wangyuan Bridge. The musketeers of the Chinese Army began to advance in formation. The officers shouted "surrender without killing" toward the front. Rockets flew out from time to time, landing on those who were escaping or attacking.
In the crowd, a large number of soldiers began to retreat towards the river. The position of Wangyuan Bridge was successively fired by rockets, and most of the Jurchen soldiers were unable to escape into the river because they did not know how to swim.
Groups of people on the plain threw away their weapons and knelt down. More people tried to break up and flee around. A cavalry of more than a thousand people led by Han Jing had already come here for reinforcements. Although the number was not large, it was powerful.
It is the most appropriate thing to do when hunting down defeated troops.
Wanyan Xiebao's heroic charge did not have much impact on the battle situation. In fact, the only chance he had to make a bet was just the choice of "attack" or "escape" at the beginning of the battle. But before he saw it,
After the situation collapsed, he did not choose to escape immediately - he had to make at least one effort.
Maybe - he thought - there would still be a chance.
Many years ago, the still extremely weak Jurchen army rebelled against the Liao Dynasty. Aguda defeated 3,700 people at Chuhedian against 7,000 people. In fact, they had to face more than just the 7,000 people. After that, they fought at Hubu Dagang.
With 20,000 fighting against 700,000 and winning, the Jurchens at that time were not sure of victory.
"When you are not sure, you have no choice but to risk your life."
This is how Jurchen has gone through these many glorious years.
He prayed to the war song in his heart, and the light shone on the charging army. During the charge, Xie Bao's horse was first killed by flying bullets. He himself rolled to the ground and then fainted. Many guards tried to
They rushed to save him, but many people were shot and killed in the charge.
…
My White Tiger Mountain God, roar!
I am the one who surpasses ten thousand people and is favored by God!
…
He also woke up once later, broke away from the support of the people around him, brandished his knife and shouted: "Charge--" and then was hit by flying bullets on his armor and fell to the ground.
In a daze, he thought of his father, he thought of the country and ethnic group he was proud of, he thought of his mom...
…
The sun of the nine mountains in the south!
The upright and unyielding grandfather of the East!
Look at me——
…
Soldiers from the Chinese Army came over and grabbed him. After a brief inspection, someone dragged him forward. The blood in Xie Bao's heart faded slightly. Thinking of the possible consequences in this situation that he had never tried before, he
He struggled hard and started shouting hysterically. The soldiers of the Chinese Army dragged him through the explosion points with black smoke rising everywhere. Xie Bao raised his head and saw a man wearing a long military coat walking towards this side.
This is Ning Yi.
This was also the first time that he faced this devil among the Han people head-on. His face was like that of a scholar, but his eyes were sharp.
…
Look at me——
…
"I……"
Xie Bao roared!
"...I'll kill you! You do evil! This is witchcraft -"
His hands were tied behind his back, and his mouth was full of blood, spurting out. His face was twisted and ferocious. His legs suddenly exerted force, and his head was about to pounce towards the opponent and bite him. At this moment, even if
Even if he died, he would scare the devil in front of him and let him understand the Jurchens' bloody bravery.
The White Tiger God and the ancestors were singing for him. But the expression on Ning Yi's face did not change at all as he walked towards him. He was still taking steps and raised his right hand.
Almost the moment Xie Bao made the save, Ning Yi's heavy punch roared out and hit Xie Bao's side of the face.
The singing in his head stopped. Xie Bao's body turned around in the air and hit the ground hard. Half of the teeth in his mouth fell out, and his mind was in chaos.
After turning around with difficulty, Ning Yi stood in front of him, looking at his face indifferently. The Chinese soldiers came over and dragged him up from the ground.
"Don't let him die, I will execute him on the spot in front of Wanyan Zonghan."
Before Xie Bao struggled wildly again, someone removed his chin and then tied him up.
The battle at Wangyuan Bridge began at three quarters of noon on February 28th. Before the time came, the battle in the main body had actually come to an end. It took an hour or two to clean up the battlefield.
Later, Zong Han and others received the first intelligence from Wangyuan Bridge in the Shiling camp. Wanyan Sheye immediately shouted: "This must be false, kidnap the messenger!"
It actually doesn't take long to confirm the information.
What follows next is a taste that I have never experienced before.
