Although the Jin soldiers are brave and good at fighting, they are still flesh and blood after all. Although Wanyan Zongwang has repeatedly led tired troops to surprise and defeat the enemy, it was all a combination of the right time and the right place. Now the opponent is waiting for you, setting up a formation and waiting for you to go.
Rush, if an attack is launched at this time, the defender will undoubtedly be waiting for work.
Therefore, Wanyan Zongwang did not rush to send troops, but rested for two days.
These two days were very precious to the Song army. The soldiers of the Song army had been away from the battlefield for a long time. Not only were they not as good at fighting as the Jin soldiers, but their recovery ability was also much worse. They rested for two days before they recovered.
In the early morning of this day, it began to rain lightly. It was spring. There was a lot of rain. It either stopped falling or kept raining.
Wanyan Zong looked at the sky, knowing that his chance had come. The most important reason why the opponent was able to repeatedly block their charges was because of the power of gunpowder. If they fought on a rainy day, the opponent's firepower would be reduced by half.
They say good things come in pairs, and this is absolutely true.
On this day, all the four troops sent by Wanyan Zongwang came back. As early as Wanyan Zongwang knew that Song Huizong was frightened, he immediately ordered them to come back. When these bandits came back, they also brought many
The trophies were a good supplement to the Jin army, but the four generals couldn't help but be surprised when they heard that Wanyan Zongwang personally led the attack and was blocked.
They were fighting smoothly in the south of Kaifeng, as if they were in an uninhabited land. The Song people were almost ready to die when they came, and their fighting power was almost zero. However, they never expected that this main force did not even see the city gate.
The price paid was tens of thousands of casualties, which is simply unbelievable.
Wanyan Zongwang did not explain too much to them. Time was tight, so he immediately held a meeting and ordered Liu Yanzong to lead an army of 10,000 to set off immediately and detour to the north to pretend to attack the northern camp of the Song army.
He also ordered his mother to lead an army of 10,000 people to detour to the east and attack the eastern defense line.
He and Wanyan Zongbi led the remaining 40,000 troops to attack Moutuogang. Once Moutuogang could not be captured, he immediately set Moutuogang as a feint attack and turned to the north for the main attack.
Yan Mu and Liu Yanzong immediately sent troops to detour to the north and east.
...
Moutuogang.
Li Qi has not dared to leave here for the past few days. He knew that the Jin army was fierce. This fatigue was nothing to them. He stood outside the house, looked at the sky, let the rain hit his face, and couldn't help but sigh.
After a breath, he said: "I didn't expect that even God was helping the Jin people."
At this time, Yue Fei and Niu Gao suddenly came over. Yue Fei said eagerly: "Bu Shuai ---."
As soon as he opened his mouth, Li Qi seemed to have guessed what he wanted to say. "If I were Wanyan Zongwang, I would definitely choose to attack tonight."
Yue Fei nodded and said: "Yes, if we wait a few more days, the slippery land will be extremely disadvantageous for their cavalry, so they will definitely attack tonight."
Niu Gao said with a full face: "On this rainy day, the combat capability of our Shenji Battalion will definitely be greatly weakened."
Li Qi sneered and said: "We have reached this point, even if we are bare-handed, we must hold on, otherwise our previous efforts will be in vain."
At this moment, a servant came to report: "Commander Bu, Qin Xuezheng is here."
"Let him in quickly."
After a while, Qin Hui came over, all wet.
Li Qi directly waved his hand and told him not to salute. He said straightforwardly: "Qin Hui, go and issue a notice immediately. Anyone who is timid and afraid of fighting, who flees from fighting, or who hides from fighting will be killed without mercy. In addition, you will personally bring two more
Soldiers from the Baidian Front Division are patrolling the streets, so don’t sleep tonight."
Qin Hui said nothing, nodded and sang, and then left. He knew very well that once Li Qi decided on something, he could never change it. Otherwise, Li Qi would not let him go there in person.
Obviously it was to let them know that this matter was no joke.
Yue Fei and Niu Gao looked at each other in shock, thinking that it was indeed a ghost's sorrow. With this order, those soldiers would have to rush even if they didn't.
Li Qi asked again: "Are Yang Zaixing, Yue Fan and others ready?"
Yue Fei said: "The general has just sent people to notify them and asked them to be on standby at any time."
"Well, let the soldiers have a good rest and stop running around. The same goes for you."
"As commanded."
...
On this rainy day, it got dark earlier than usual. Wanyan Zongwang deliberately dispersed his troops and horses, and took advantage of the darkness to quietly attack the Jin army at Moutuogang, thinking that he could catch the Song army off guard, but little did he know that the opponent was already well prepared and had no arrows.
It has been wound up, just waiting for you to come and charge.
After the hard battle that night, the soldiers of the Song Army here had completely stepped out of the shadow of the Jin Army. They stood on the chariot, with a look of death in their eyes.
Really boring.
Wanyan Zongwang knew that the other party had already expected that he would attack tonight, but the arrow was on the string and had to be fired. Tonight was a very good opportunity for them. If they missed it, it would be difficult to wait. Immediately ordered six
Qian Qingqi surrounded them from the left and right wings, and Wanyan Zongbi led an army of 20,000 to cover behind them.
The war is about to break out.
In the entire Moutuogang, only the breathing of hundreds of thousands of people could be heard.
Dark clouds cover the moon, and everything is dark. Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves is heard, like thunder.
In this kind of weather, it is difficult to observe with the naked eye when the opponent will attack. You can only rely on your hearing. The sound of horse hooves also indicates that the attack has already begun. As the sound of horse hooves got closer, the commander shouted: "Let go!"
"put!"
"put!"
Whoosh whoosh!
As soon as the bowstring was loosened, the arrow immediately disappeared into the dark sky.
This almost always relies on the sound of horse hooves to determine the enemy's position.
Although when developing firearms, Li Qi thought of the rainy day and made waterproof equipment, but how can one go against the will of God? When the first round of arrows passed by, their power was greatly reduced, and many of them did not explode.
But this is a bed crossbow after all. Even if it doesn't explode, its power is quite amazing.
Because the fuses on many arrows had been destroyed by rain in the air, the Jin army could not know whether there was an arrow coming from their heads.
But when I saw a soldier getting ready to charge, I suddenly heard the sound of a roar in the air, and subconsciously looked up. I saw an arrow shooting through the air in the dark night, and without giving him time to react, he shot it into his chest.
, the powerful impact penetrated three soldiers in a row. It was like a skewer of candied haws.
It is precisely because of the existence of darkness that this crossbow becomes even more mysterious and terrifying. The long arrows that fill the sky ruthlessly take away the lives of the golden people like the violent wind and rain.
Although you can't see the scene of people lying on their backs, you can hear the blood-curdling screams. Especially at night, the screams are even more terrifying.
One round.
Two rounds.
...
But soon, the Jin army rushed forward. They were fooled last time, but this time they would not be like last time. They hit the wall of fire directly. When they were about to get close to the chariot, they suddenly moved parallel to both sides.
Open. Shuttle back and forth in front of the chariot. The Jurchens' skillful equestrian skills allowed them to calmly pick up their bows and arrows and shoot with the archers on the chariot. With this thing, the Song Army is not afraid of you, the Jin Army. Although you
It's mobile. I'm stationary, but I have a lot of people.
I saw people on the Song Army side falling off their chariots one after another, while many people on the Jin Army side also fell off their horses.
There were deaths on both sides.
Because the musket had to be prepared, and it was raining, the fire was sprayed out, but little was gained.
Just as the Jin army rushed forward complacently.
Hoo ho ho!
Another row of flames shot out, and the three golden soldiers who were showing their teeth and claws suddenly turned black, and many others suddenly started to burn, and the burning people immediately fell over.
Dancing with Burning Man.
It turned out that Yue Fei had long expected that the opponent had suffered a big setback with the musket a few days ago. He must have taken precautions this time, so he divided into two teams and rotated, which really had a good effect. But Li Qi felt that on this rainy day, the gunpowder was
The power would definitely be greatly reduced, so he simply reduced the amount of gunpowder. The arrowhead was equipped with ingredients containing kerosene. When it exploded, the kerosene immediately rushed to the enemy. This kerosene burned on a rainy day.
When it burns, the burning Jin Army cries for its father and mother.
But these Jin troops were really ruthless. They shouted loudly and rushed towards the Song troops with flames all over their bodies.
The scene was very bloody.
Although the Jin army in front suffered heavy losses, they did a good job of covering the main force behind them. Their horizontal shuttles and constant shooting made the Song army's bed crossbows somewhat inadequate.
Boom, boom, boom!
I saw a dense mass behind, like a stormy sea in the dark night, rushing towards me. Wanyan Zongbi had already led the main force to arrive. They came well prepared this time, equipped with many bows and crossbows. As soon as they rushed into the shooting range,
A burst of fire was fired at the chariot.
Dang Dang Dang!
Unfortunately, almost all of them were blocked by shields, and the spearmen were well preserved.
If this spearman didn't have a shield, wouldn't he be regarded as a target?
Whoosh whoosh!
After withstanding a hail of arrows from the opponent, the spearmen on the chariot picked up their short spears and threw them at the enemy. You don't have more horses, I have more weapons. After throwing a round of short spears, they immediately picked up their long spears and continued to fight with the enemy.
Combat.
"Kill---! Defend your home and your loved ones."
The heavy infantry surged up from behind the chariot like a flood again. The two sides began to engage in hand-to-hand combat again.
These heavy infantry are all under 1.70 meters tall and are short. If the cavalry wants to attack them, they have to bend down to attack them. But when you bend down, your whole body is exposed to the pikemen on the chariot.
In sight.
The spear stretched and retracted, constantly stabbing the golden soldiers.
This time, the spearmen covered the infantry, and the infantry covered the spearmen. The coordination was perfect, which gave the Jin army a headache.
I saw a strong man rushing out from behind the chariot. He bowed, picked up a giant ax with both hands and swept it away like a whirlwind, cutting off the front legs of the horse in front of him. The cavalry on the horse immediately fell down.
When he came down, the infantryman behind him split his head open with another axe.
