Chapter 1276: Order: Beat drums to fight, Pass: War horses charge
In the north of Beijing, although the weather is cold, there is warmth between the two. In the northwest of the Song Dynasty, the sky is full of wind and sand, but there are only hot-blooded blades.
North of the Wei River, fifteen miles north of the Song army's camp, Wu Lin's general Chang Du led three thousand troops in formation. General Yao Zhong was on the side ready to attack, and Wu Lin led a thousand elite soldiers and horses behind.
Sit in person.
This battle was strange since entering the Northland. This was the first time he had fought against the Jin people. He was not at ease if he did not personally come to take charge.
Looking far to the north, I saw the dark cavalry of the Jin Kingdom already lining up. From a rough look, there were about one or two thousand soldiers and horses!
After pondering for a moment, Wu Lin suddenly ordered, "Beat the drums, advance the troops, and fight!"
If he couldn't see through the Jin people's intentions, he really couldn't feel at ease. Although it was extremely strange for the infantry to attack the cavalry, Wu Lin still planned to do so.
He must first reveal the Jin man's intentions and then make a comprehensive plan.
Just yesterday, news came back from the armies on the east and west. The situation was basically the same as planned. Now, he was the only one with a strange situation.
"Boom, boom, boom..." The sound of soaring war drums shook the earth and shocked people's hearts. The neat soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty moved quickly and formed a military formation.
The military formation is the simplest one-line formation, with the shield hand in front and the archer in the back, usually in the middle, with a long sword in hand and a stern gaze.
"kill!"
Seeing the bloody battle flag beside Wu Lin suddenly fluttering, Wu Lin shouted loudly, and then, three thousand soldiers and horses marched forward step by step in neat steps, approaching the advancing troops in the distance.
"General, it seems that the Song army attaches great importance to the general! We only have three or four thousand troops here, and even not all of them have gone out to fight, but the Song people came out in full force. Looking at their formation, there are at least six or seven soldiers in front and behind.
Thousands of people, if you exclude the soldiers and horses of their other two battalions, I'm afraid this is their entire force..."
Wu Lin came here with only 13,000 soldiers and horses. In order to prevent Jin reinforcements from coming from the side, the other two camps did not move lightly. Therefore, he really only had 78,000 soldiers and horses under his command.
"Hahaha..." Yici Hanmuzhi smiled with satisfaction, "In this battle, you will charge with me personally and break the Song people's formation. They are just foot soldiers. As long as they break the formation, they will be killed by the sword."
ghost!"
Wugu Lunda raised his eyebrows. He wanted to ask, who gave him the courage?
Charge into battle?
Opposite is Wu Lin, and his general Chang Du is fighting. The seemingly simple formation, but a slight change can cause the cavalry to hit their heads and bleed.
Although failure is what he wants, he really doesn't want to lose too humiliatingly.
Immediately, he whispered, "General, the Great Song Army's formation is difficult to break, and our cavalry has the best mobility. We only need to scatter around the periphery, and we will naturally be invincible!"
This has always been the best way for the Jin Kingdom to deal with the Song Dynasty. The infantry could not keep up with the cavalry and could only be beaten passively. Even if they won, the Jin soldiers would only retreat on their own initiative. If you want to pursue them, you have to set up an ambush to intercept them.
There's no way to catch up.
"Um?"
When Yici Hanmu heard this, he waved his hands dissatisfied, "It is precisely the Song people's army formation that is so powerful, that's why I have to do this. No one else can break the formation, only me can. Doesn't this make me even more powerful?"
?
Furthermore, have we Jin people ever lacked cavalry to break infantry formations?"
There are naturally many such things, but they are not the same. Now, most of them are light cavalry, with leather armor and mostly cloth armor. If they are heavy cavalry, this ordinary infantry formation will naturally be devastating, but the light cavalry
Well... at least both sides suffer losses. This is to use your own weak points to attack the opponent's strong points. How many generals are so stupid?
"call!"
Wugu Lunda let out a long breath. At this moment, he felt a little regretful. Was his general deceived too much?
However, it is naturally not possible to let him lead the troops in person. This defeat requires someone to take the blame. If the general dies in battle, then he may have merit but not fault. Wouldn't they have to take the blame for others?
"What the general said is true. However, as the general in charge of the army, he is not allowed to leave without authorization. Although the general is brave, his military affairs are unpredictable and the front is dangerous. Please forgive me for speaking nonsense. Even if it means the life or death of these thousands of soldiers and horses,
Not as important as a general.
Thousands of soldiers and horses are defeated, but the general is still here, so we can come back and fight the enemy again. But if the general is slightly negligent, what will happen to the last general, and what will happen to these thousands of soldiers and horses?"
"There is a saying in the Song Dynasty that a gentleman will not stand under a dangerous wall. Therefore, please forgive the sin of the last general in this battle and send a strong general forward. The general will sit in the rear and coordinate the overall situation!"
Wugu Lunda's words also made Yici Hanmu calm down a bit. Although he has some strength, he is indeed a bit unfamiliar with the battlefield. The swords and guns are dangerous, wouldn't it be bad if he hurt himself?
So, borrowing the donkey from the slope, he nodded directly and said, "That's fine, I will be sitting here. Moreover, this is just the first battle, so you can follow me to watch the battle to see how powerful the Song Dynasty's troops are. As for fighting against
When the people of the Song Dynasty fight, they can just send any strong generals at will."
This statement is exactly what he said, "General, General Li Da has always been brave and brave. There will be no loss in sending him forward in this battle."
"Okay, you are more familiar with this army than I am, so I will leave it up to you to handle this matter!"
After giving the military order, Ugulunda turned and headed towards the generals not far away! When these generals saw Ugulunda approaching, they all sneered and remained silent. Since they were not going the same way, they cut each other off.
The robes are cut off, and each goes his own way.
"Li Da, here is the order from the general. You will lead the troops in this battle. You will lead two thousand troops and horses. You are guaranteed to win but not defeated. If you lose, you will be dealt with according to military law!"
Ugu Lunda gave a calm order.
Li Da was tall and tall, with a black armor covering his body, like an iron tower.
However, after listening to Ugu Lunda's words, he just smiled coldly and did not respond at all.
However, a person next to him whispered a few words to him in a low voice, and then he lazily said, "The last general takes command!"
After saying that, he mounted his horse and headed towards the soldiers gathered in front.
Wugu Lunda, however, had no intention of chatting with the generals. He got off his command and turned back to Yici Hanmu.
"This is different. After climbing a high branch, we no longer take our brothers into consideration!"
"Why did you let Li Da fight?
Could it be that you are also afraid of him?"
The generals were all talking, but the person who spoke to Li Da smiled slightly, "Brothers, if you don't respect military orders, you will be caught. Even if you are killed directly, we will not be responsible.
However, if we go to war, the outcome is unpredictable, so what if we are really defeated?"
"Victory and defeat are common matters for military strategists. It seems that in our Kingdom of Jin, there is no law stating that you must win when you go to war."
