That night, the battle to defend Kaifeng was in full swing.
It can be said that there are battles everywhere.
Liu Yanzong's four-pronged army was so swift and fierce that it defeated the outermost defensive points of the Song army in the north one by one and approached Fengqiu Gate.
Although his army was feigning an attack, it was true and false, and false was true. Therefore, he had to clear the outside defense line first. Once the battle situation changed, he could retreat calmly.
Liu Yanzong's four-pronged Jin army used small roundabout tactics in the Song army's camp. They kept running back and forth, hitting left and right, and running rampant. I walked around shallow trenches and fortresses. You have the ability.
Just build a trench tens of thousands of miles long, or use fortresses to seal off the entire city of Kaifeng. Even if you are ruthless, I won't fight you anyway. I only pick people to fight, and I won't fight with your static defense.
beat.
Since the Song Army did not defend the city wall, the defensive front was very long, and it was impossible to achieve flawless defense. There were always one or two places where the defense was weak. The Jin Army first tried back and forth to continuously test, and then targeted the weak points to attack.
Fight more and attack less. If you can't fight here, run away immediately, turn around and come back. You send people to support this point, and I will attack that point. The Song Army's strength dropped sharply under the constant pull of the Jin Army. This is terrible.
It was not an army of two or three thousand men, but an army of ten thousand. Even if it was harassing, the Song army was unable to fight back.
This is not really because Song Jun is incompetent. There is really no way around it. It’s difficult to take care of the beginning and the end. The other party doesn’t want to play with you. He will hit you and take advantage of it, and then immediately turn back. You can’t catch up, so what’s the point?
Before you recover, another army comes to kill you, takes advantage of you, and then leaves again. This is the advantage of the cavalry, and it is also the fatal weakness of Li Qi's failure to defend the city wall.
The Song army was exhausted, as if there were golden soldiers everywhere, with no place to run, and the entire defense system gradually collapsed due to consumption.
The guard in front of Fengqiu Gate was Bi Zhan, who originally guarded Xishui Bridge. He could be regarded as saving his life from the Jin people. Li Qi saw that he was not bad, so he sent him to guard Fengqiu Gate.
Bi Zhan saw that there was no way to continue fighting like this, because it was impossible to catch up with the Jin army. If you chase the cavalry, it would be forfeit. So he quickly reduced the defense line and retreated his troops to a place seven or eight miles away in front of Fengqiu Gate.
.
But at this moment, Wanyan Zongwang ordered someone to send a message, asking Liu Yanzong to immediately attack Fengqiu Gate with all his strength, because almost all the main force of the Song army was hoarded in Moutuogang, most of which were infantry and chariots, and it would be impossible to come in a while.
Rescue, and he is leading the main force to attack here.
When Liu Yanzong heard this, he knew that Mou Tuogang must not have been captured, so he immediately issued an order, adjusted his formation, and stormed Fengqiu Gate. The four armies immediately merged into two groups, and attacked Fengqiu Gate from horizontal to vertical.
.
Because the elite of the Forbidden Army are all in Moutuogang, most of the Song troops in front of Fengqiu Gate are the Song Army's second-line troops, and the number is not very large. Although it is not less than the Jin Army, if you are not twice as high as the Jin Army
Even if you have several times the force, you will be at a disadvantage. You must know that the reason why Moutuogang can be defended is because of the accumulation of people.
Bi Zhan did not dare to send troops to meet the enemy, so he could only continue to retreat and defend, directing his soldiers to shoot at the enemy.
Bursts of dense arrows were fired at the Jin army, ruthlessly shooting the enemies off their horses.
Since it's night, you can't aim and can only rely on dense arrow rain to block the enemy. However, the Jin army is not stupid. They gather together for you to shoot. They are all scattered. Try to surround the Song army and attack from all directions. Although
There were also injuries, but they were not fatal. Moreover, the Jin army's charge was so fast that after three or four rounds of arrow rain, they had already reached the Song army's camp.
The garrison at Fengqiumen has very few cavalry and chariots. Most of them are infantry, spearmen, and archers. How can this battle be continued? However, Li Qi issued a death order and was only allowed to go out of the city to fight.
They are never allowed to escape back into the city, otherwise, the soldiers on the city wall can be shot directly. Guard Bi Zhan has no choice. He will die if he advances or retreats. He can only rush forward and fight with the enemy. If he can exchange one, he will not pay, but he will exchange two.
Just what he earned, he raised his sword and said: "Brothers, follow me and fight to the end! Defend the capital! Kill all the golden dogs!"
"Fight bloody to the end to defend the capital."
All the soldiers looked at death as if they were dead and shouted loudly. The archers retreated while shooting, while the infantry picked up their weapons and charged forward to kill them.
A hail of arrows covered the infantry attack.
When the Jin soldiers saw that all the opponents were infantry, they looked at them as if they were prey, so they rushed towards them.
When the Jin army was about to get close, two troops suddenly rushed out from both sides of the Song army's camp and surrounded them. They were holding long sickle-hook spears, and they were all deep between the horse's legs.
After stretching and retracting, the horses fell down. The infantry rushed forward and chopped off the horses' legs and heads first.
Whoosh!
Bi Zhan took the lead and took off the head of a golden soldier with a knife, shouting: "Brothers, charge at me!"
puff!
A cold arrow hit his right shoulder.
He pulled out the arrow with one hand and shouted loudly: "Charge!"
When the soldiers saw that their general was so brave, they all followed him to the death, regardless of their own lives and rushed forward.
"ah!"
But seeing a soldier hit by three arrows, his life was already hanging by a thread. However, with his last breath, he jumped up, knocked down a golden soldier, and opened his mouth to bite the enemy's neck.
Chi!
Almost at the same time, a scimitar stabbed out of his back, but he did not groan and bit the opponent's neck. The golden soldier struggled hard, but in the end he was dying and died with him.
This desperate scene also infected the surrounding Song troops. They all became red-eyed. If you chop me with a knife, I will chop you with a knife even if you die. If you hit me with a horse, I can't bite anyone. I
I will also bite off a piece of meat from your war horse.
Is this really the second-line unit of the Song Army?
When the Jin army saw the Song army, they started fighting for them like madmen. The more they fought, the more frightened they became.
Under Bi Zhan's bloody battle, he successfully repelled the first charge of the Jin soldiers. This was simply unimaginable. Although the losses were heavy, there was no way to save the day.
It was raining all night, and instead of waiting for our own reinforcements, the enemy's reinforcements arrived. Suddenly there was the sound of horse hooves from the west, and then the sound of killing was loud.
The main force led by Wanyan Zongwang has arrived. In fact, Wanyan Zongwang is not determined to fight to the death when attacking Moutuogang tonight. He just wants to test whether the main force of your Song army is still gathered in Moutuogang. If not,
Then I'm welcome. Take Moutuogang directly. But if you are still hoarding in Moutuogang, then you can go and play by yourself, I won't fight you.
Just now he saw that the main force of the Song army was at Moutuogang, so he immediately ordered to attack the north.
In fact, Wanyan Zongwang already understood that he had made a fatal mistake earlier. It was just that he did not admit it. That was because he underestimated the enemy too much. He wanted to compete with Li Qi too much. If this was his normal self, he would not have been stupid at all.
When we arrived at Moutuogang, we were facing Song Jun.
It was also because the fight went so smoothly. The Song army north of the Yellow River had no power to fight back. Therefore, when Wanyan Zong saw you, Li Qi, you transferred all the main forces to Moutuogang, thinking that if this battle could solve all the Song army's
Main force, the city of Kaifeng will be defeated by itself, and the battle will be won quickly. Who would have expected that the Song army would become more and more courageous as it fought, and it seemed that it was not an army of the same country as the Song army encountered earlier.
In fact, if Li Qi had not tried every means to boost morale and cultivate the soldiers' self-confidence, and with the assistance of Yue Fei and others, if it were Tong Guan or Cai You, even if you gave them so many tanks, they would still be defeated by the Jin army in one blow.
If it's broken, there's no need to fight it.
Now that he understands the true strength of the Song Army, Wanyan Zongwang will certainly not make such mistakes again. I will put the main force here first, then you must put the main force opposite me. Don't try to trick me, I will test it.
Yours, when you get your main force in formation and prepare to fight to the death, I will leave. Whether you come to pursue me or not, if you come, you will have no choice but to follow me forever. If you don’t come, then I will
Concentrate the absolute main force and deal with the Song army on the other three sides first. I will consume your troops like this and see how long you can hold on.
When the Jin army saw the reinforcements coming, they immediately launched another fierce attack. This was no longer a roundabout tactic, but a direct plan to encircle and annihilate all your troops. After all, I have several times more troops than you now.
Bi Zhan had no retreat and was almost reaching the bottom of the city. He lowered his hands, and the blood from the wound on his arm dripped down the tip of the knife. He was gasping for air. A soldier was bandaging him quickly, looking into the distance.
A dense mass of people swept in like a gust of wind and rain, and his side suffered heavy casualties. There were not many men left. He knew that it was impossible to escape today, and he would definitely not be able to stop it. He glanced at his own
Soldiers, under the firelight in the rain, no one showed fear on their face, there was just rain. He roared, raised his sword again, and with his voice that had become hoarse from shouting, said: "Brothers, let us go
Let’s fight in hell.”
"Roar---!"
Just when Bi Zhan was preparing to launch this death charge.
Suddenly there was a loud sound of hooves behind me.
"Kill---!"
Bi Zhan looked back and was overjoyed. He saw an invisible convoy suddenly coming out of the city. He shouted excitedly: "Brothers, our reinforcements have arrived."
The soldiers seemed to have seen the light of day, and tears were already welling up in their eyes. This feeling of surviving a desperate situation was beyond words.
"Brother Big, mount your horse and fight me again?"
Yang Zaixing controlled three horses and came to Bi Zhan with a smile on his cool face. Anyone who knew Yang Zaixing knew that this smile represented his highest admiration.
However, when he finally said these words, he was so relaxed and comfortable, as if the Jin army rushing towards him was not holding a knife at all, but was holding the cucumber.
This is Yang Zaixing. He was born to fight. Even if you let him charge forward alone, I'm afraid he won't be timid at all. He's just afraid that he won't be able to fight.
His calmness also infected the entire army, and they all couldn't help but muster up their courage.
Without saying a word, Bi Zhan got on his horse, clasped his fists and said, "It is an honor for me, Bi Zhan, to kill the enemy together with General Yang."
After the bloody battle of Qingtian Village and Moutuogang, Yang Zaixing became famous. Who among the Forbidden Army had not heard of Yang Zaixing? With his amazing performance, people forgot that he was a grass bandit.
Yang Zaixing smiled modestly, raised a spear in his hand, and said loudly: "Brothers, as long as we can hold on for a while, the infantry commander will arrive with reinforcements immediately. It's time to let the golden dogs know how powerful our forbidden army is, kill them!"
Hundreds of chariots are in the shape of an arrow. This extremely offensive symbol perfectly blends with Yang Zaixing. The spearmen and infantrymen hold spears and shields to protect the outside, while the archers are on the inside, shooting the enemies.
A small number of cavalry covered the flanks.
Hoo ho ho!
I saw that the dozen chariots rushing at the front suddenly burst into flames, illuminating the entire area. It turned out that they were all filled with straw sprinkled with kerosene, specifically to restrain the cavalry charge.
The chariot of fire rolled towards the golden soldiers.
Under the cover of this chariot of fire, the hundreds of chariots behind seemed even more majestic. In the first round of confrontation with the Jin army, they were not at a disadvantage. Some Jin soldiers even wanted to find a way to sneak through the middle of the chariot.
They came over and destroyed the formation of the Song army. Unexpectedly, they fell directly to death. It turned out that many of the chariots were connected two by two with iron chains. The Jin soldiers could only avoid their sharp edges and separated, forming an encirclement.
Continue to rely on the absolute speed advantage and wander around the convoy, looking for opportunities to strike.
Both sides screamed loudly and fought together.
The infantry jumped off the chariot and continued to shave the horse's legs. The archers, on the other hand, tried their best to shoot smoke arrows and used the smoke to cover their convoy and infantry. After all, your convoy has a large target and people are piled together, so the enemy can easily
Kill calmly.
The gunmen on the vehicle naturally cooperated with the infantry in combat.
Using axes to cut down horses and lances to stab people, with the help of chariots, the Song army fought back and forth with the Jin army even though its combat effectiveness was not high.
Moreover, although the Song Army's cavalry and archery skills are not high, they now shoot while standing on the car, which greatly improves the combat efficiency of the archers during the charge. I saw bursts of square arrows falling from the sky, almost covering the convoy.
Within a hundred steps, he shoots enemies efficiently, as if there are endless arrows to shoot.
Yang Zaixing, Bi Zhan and a small number of cavalry fought hard, especially Yang Zaixing. He had exerted all his strength all night. In the enemy formation, he rushed left and right, his spear seemed to have become one with him, killing people.
Come on, you really didn't even blink an eye.
Screams came and went, shaking the sky.
Wanyan Zongwang watched from a distance and saw that the opponent's donkey convoy actually blocked his iron hooves. He felt a little depressed. However, in his eyes, this convoy was just a weak weapon. In order to speed up the battle, he sent ten thousand cavalry up.
, leaving thousands of guards around him, and issued a death order to annihilate this convoy as soon as possible.
Because if he delays it any longer, variables may arise. The tactics he has deployed this time are mainly to move, concentrate superior forces, and annihilate the enemy's effective forces. Attacking the city gate is only the next best thing. There are no people left at the city gate.
It's really like searching for something.
