Chapter 1358: There is no war in the night, the golden soldiers will attack again
Chapter 1358: After a night of no fighting, the golden soldiers attack again
On the high Tongbai Mountain, the north wind was blowing hard. However, fortunately, after several days of continuous attacks, the Jin Kingdom temporarily stopped its offensive that night!
Although Tong Chuan was still worried, he still issued an order to let most of the troops rest first. He personally led his guards to patrol at night!
The Jin people have many soldiers and horses, so they can take turns to attack. However, the Song army has few soldiers and the battle line is extremely long. After dividing the troops, it will not be easy for the remaining soldiers and horses to defend Tongbai Mountain! Now is a rare opportunity, let them rest
Just one night!
What makes Tong Chuan a little strange is that this night turned out to be really calm!
"Maybe Jin Bing is tired too.
Although there are many people, these more than twenty days in a row are very exhausting, and besides, they are not short of one or two days..." Tong Chuan thought to himself.
"Come here, wake up everyone, and ask the people behind to bring up the food quickly. It won't be long before the Jin people attack again. Let's take advantage of this free time and let the brothers have something to eat!"
"
About two quarters of an hour later, a group of auxiliary soldiers came up carrying large buckets!
In the big bucket, you can clearly see the bottom of the porridge, and there are also some whole grain pancakes!
Although this was not a delicacy, everyone was so hungry that they didn't care at all. They all gathered around, picked up the food and stuffed it into their mouths.
However, this amount of food is obviously not enough, not even half full! However, these people have adapted, and Tong Chuan has not concealed the situation of food and grass in the army! These things cannot be hidden at all.
.
Fortunately, Tong Chuan was strict in running the army, and most of these soldiers and horses were brought out by Tong Chuan, so although there were some complaints, there was no trouble!
"Woo, woo, woo..."
Suddenly, the melodious sound of horns came from the north, and Tong Chuan's expression condensed. This scene was familiar to everyone, and the Jin soldiers were about to start attacking again.
The same is true for other soldiers. Even without Tong Chuan and his generals urging them, they each found their own positions and prepared for the next attack!
Boom, boom, boom...
Along with the dull roar and the trembling of the earth, a black cavalry appeared in Tong Chuan's sight. This army of soldiers and horses stretched for several miles from east to west!
"Brothers, please be careful and don't rush to counterattack! This time, the Jin people may have used 20,000 soldiers and horses. It will be a tough battle!"
Tong Chuan's hoarse shout came out.
Not long after, the galloping cavalry rushed to the Tongbai Mountain Checkpoint, and then, arrows came towards the entire Tongbai Mountain Checkpoint for free! However, all the Song troops were crouching on the female wall of the checkpoint.
After that, they did not fight back! This is not because they did not want to fight back, but during this period of fighting, their ordnance consumption was extremely serious. The arrows originally stocked in the army have long been used up. In recent days, all they have
Most of the arrows used were picked up from the battlefield.
Such an attack cannot cause too many casualties to the Song army at the checkpoint, but it can control the entire battlefield and suppress the opponent's momentum. When the infantry attacks next, it will be smoother.
After rounds of arrow rain, the Jin infantry formation arrayed behind the cavalry began to slowly move forward.
Although the Jin people are good at running attacks, they are not good at things like siege. Just like the early Jurchen clan and the Liao Kingdom, when the Song Dynasty went to war, they wanted to capture a city. Most of the time,
Relying on siege, when the food and grass in the city are exhausted, the city will naturally be destroyed. Only when it is absolutely necessary, the city will be truly attacked.
However, as the Jin people entered the Central Plains, they learned a lot from the Song people! Not only the culture and system, but also on the battlefield.
First of all, the Jin people were all cavalry from the earliest days, and developed a separate infantry branch! Although the Jin people are still mainly cavalry, and the cavalry is also the most powerful manifestation of the Jin Kingdom, their infantry training
Also becoming more mature.
Secondly, there is the improvement of military equipment.
The earliest Jin people mainly used furs as armor. This did not require too much counting. They only needed to hunt among the vast grasslands and mountains and forests to obtain furs. Selecting suitable furs for armor was the most convenient way.
After all, considering the culture and statistics of the Jurchen tribe at that time, it was simply impossible for them to weave or smelt.
The Jurchen clan went south, first replacing the entire Liao Kingdom, and then taking over half of the Song Dynasty! From this time on, the Liao Kingdom and many of the Song Dynasty were owned by the Jin people! They had iron armor and had
The acquisition of more sophisticated weapons also made the Jin people more powerful.
Including why Wan Yanyong issued successive decrees and spent countless energy and financial resources to improve the status of the Song people in the Jin Kingdom?
Of course, one of the reasons is to stabilize the Song people as much as possible and reduce the number of rebels. In addition, a very important point is that Wanyanyong wanted to absorb the Song people's counts and use them for himself.
In the battle between the Song Dynasty and the Jin Kingdom, soldiers and horses may be mistreated, but if there are craftsmen among them, they will receive excellent treatment!
As a result, whether in the court or in the army, the number of people from the Song Dynasty serving the Jin Kingdom is gradually increasing!
The Jin people basically did not have siege equipment such as catapults. However, with the increase in the number of craftsmen in the Song Dynasty, the number and quality of their equipment also increased rapidly. Although they are still not completely comparable to those in the Song Dynasty,
In the siege battle, the Jin people have gained a lot of convenience.
Just like now, outside Tongbai Mountain, the catapults, ladders, rams and other equipment needed to attack the city are extremely complete!
Although the infantry of the Jin people have begun to approach Tongbai Mountain, their cavalry has not stopped either. Teams of cavalry galloped back and forth, and rain of arrows continued to cover the Tongbai Mountain pass as if they were free! With mounted archery,
With their assistance, the advance of the Jin infantry was not affected at all, and they drove directly to the foot of Tongbai Mountain.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...
The more powerful catapult also began to creak and twist, and huge boulders flew toward Tongbai Mountain with extremely powerful power!
"Put up the ladder and fight with me! The one who climbs first will be rewarded with five hundred taels of silver and wins three levels in a row!"
Climbing first, beheading generals, and capturing the flag are the greatest military achievements on the battlefield! Moreover, in order to encourage the soldiers under his command to strive bravely, whether in the court or in the army, the rewards for these military achievements are extremely generous! This is not
It's strange, after all, if you want to achieve such military exploits, you basically have to hold your head and run to your death! It's understandable that the reward should be generous.
