It can be seen that this war horse is very loyal to Yang Zaixing. If it fell during the charge, Yang Zaixing would definitely escape death. However, although it was seriously injured, it still supported the Jin soldiers until they retreated.
Seeing this scene, the officers and soldiers of the Song Army were all in awe of this war horse.
But it can also be seen how fierce the confrontation just now was. This was definitely a wonderful charge. From the generals to the soldiers, there were dangers at every moment. The Song Army’s cavalry has always been so dangerous.
People criticize him, but after today, I believe that no one will dare to underestimate the Song Army's cavalry. Of course, Yang Zaixing's personal factors account for a large part of the reason. It is precisely because of his bravery that he inspired the soldiers to dare to face women.
Real-person hedging is also the most attractive thing about Yang Zaixing.
This battle was inconclusive in terms of casualties, and both sides suffered heavy losses. However, from a strategic point of view, the Song Army still achieved a great victory. Originally, this luxurious army was already on the verge of despair. However, the arrival of Yang Zaixing inspired
The morale of the Song army was greatly boosted, and Yang Zaixing also brought good news, that is, the emperor was coming here with reinforcements, food and fodder, and they would arrive in a few days.
This is truly a moment of rain after a long drought, which is extremely inspiring.
The army along the way seemed to have gained new life, and its morale suddenly stabilized.
On the contrary, the Jin Army suffered a heavy setback in the first battle. Originally, the Song Army huddled in the car formation, and there was a reason why they could not win for a long time. However, now that the Song Army rushed out to fight, they still failed to gain full victory.
They wanted to win, which hurt their self-esteem, so they all asked for a battle, demanding a fight to the death from the Song army.
Gao Qingyi had extremely strong personal emotions when he saw the generals, but he did not dare to attack in a large scale. Because he knew that once a fight broke out, the personal emotions of these generals would affect their judgment, and they would most likely fall into the Song army's conspiracy.
So he ignored it and ordered the soldiers to stick to the line and block the Song army's advance.
However, the Song army was not in a hurry to advance, but waited for the arrival of reinforcements.
Within two days, Zhao Kai personally led the army and arrived.
As soon as the imperial flag was erected, the Song army officers and soldiers shouted in unison: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live my emperor."
The word "long live" finally came to Yan Yun again.
Since before the Tanyuan Alliance, Song Zhenzong crossed the Yellow River to lead a personal expedition, no emperor has ever led troops to fight in a war, let alone came to Yanyun. The only emperor of the Song Dynasty who set foot in Yanyun was only one emperor. That was Zhao Kai.
The ancestor of Song Taizu was Song Taizong. Song Taizu said that because of his strategy of first south and then north, after he eliminated the southern power, he released his military power over a glass of wine, and then died of illness. He did not have time to launch the Northern Expedition. Song Taizong only launched the Northern Expedition after he came to the throne. However,
, but ended in failure. This was also a great defeat that affected the entire Song Dynasty. It can even be said that the fall of the Song Dynasty was caused by this defeat.
Now, history has changed and Zhao Kai came to Yanyun again. Although the war is still going on, it is foreseeable that the victory or defeat of this battle will still have fundamental changes in the Song Dynasty.
Zhao Kai boarded the command vehicle in the middle and looked at the tens of thousands of soldiers. He was speechless for a long time, but his eyes were full of admiration. However, the soldiers did not need him to say anything. In fact, he was already here if he could come.
This greatly inspired the emperor to fight together with the soldiers. Why didn't the soldiers kill the enemy?
After a long time, he said: "My soldiers, you are the bravest people of our Song Dynasty. In the face of a powerful enemy, you did not take a step back. This makes me deeply gratified and admired. Although the war is not over yet, but
With your fearlessness, you have regained the dignity of our Song Dynasty Forbidden Army. I believe that after this battle, no one will dare to underestimate our Song Dynasty Forbidden Army. I solemnly promise you here that as long as we capture Yunzhou, I
One million acres of land will be allocated from here to reward you, and I have already transferred 10 million guan from the national treasury as military pay. Of course, this is just a promise I have made to you at this time. If Yunzhou is captured,
I will also reward you heavily."
One million acres of land, ten million dollars in military pay.
What kind of concept is this? And this is just the beginning. You have money and willfulness.
"Roar---!"
Thousands of soldiers raised their weapons and shouted in unison.
Nothing is more exciting than land and money.
Zhao Kai has been friends with Li Qi for so long, and he also understands the truth that there must be brave men under heavy rewards. He will be stingy with those ministers because they have too many opportunities to make money, but he will never treat these ministers
The soldiers who fight for the country are stingy.
When encountering such a generous emperor, everyone naturally followed him to the death.
.......
.......
"Shi Niang, how is General Zhe's condition?"
After getting off the command vehicle, Zhao Kai hurriedly rushed to visit Zhe Keqiu. Although as an emperor, he had always been wary of the Zhe family's army and had been weakening the Zhe family's power, but this was only for political reasons.
, he didn’t want to get rid of the Zhejia, but just gave him some restraints. You can’t ignore the imperial court, and your Zhejia must abide by the system and laws established by the imperial court. Zhao Kai was still very concerned about Zhe Keqiu fighting bloody battles and facing the enemy with injuries.
I admire you, but I am also very worried, and I miss you very much.
At this time, Zhe Keqiu was still in a coma.
Liu Yunxi said calmly: "Actually, the poisonous arrow is not very poisonous. It just took too long. In addition, General Zhe fought with injuries, which made his body very weak. The poison has spread to the vicinity of the heart. But please don't worry, Your Majesty.
It’s not a problem to save the general’s life, it’s just---.”
Orihiko hurriedly asked: "Just what?"
Liu Yunxi said: "It's just that the general's left arm is broken, so I'm afraid it's useless."
"Wasted?"
Zhao Kai was surprised and said: "What does it mean to be useless?"
Liu Yunxi said: "Compared to ordinary people, his left arm is already necrotic, and his activities will be restricted. At most, he can only eat, but can't do anything else."
Zhao Kai breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, it was pretty good to be able to save his life.
Ori Hikono knelt down on one knee and said, "On behalf of my father, Hikono would like to thank the goddess doctor for saving my life."
Liu Yunxi was afraid that he would be the most annoying and would kneel down at every turn. He said coldly: "If all the men in your family like one leg, maybe I can let your father walk on one leg."
She doesn't dare to care whether you are a loyal or a powerful official. If she hates you, she hates you. When you are in a hateful mood, it is difficult for you to expect her to say heart-warming words.
After hearing this, the soldiers on the side looked at Liu Yunxi in shock. These words were a bit too poisonous.
Wow! Xiao Shiniang, you should give him some face at least! Li Qi wiped his cold sweat and hurried forward, helped Zhe Yanye up, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, my wife hates people kneeling down the most, you guys
Don’t be offended.”
There is no way, as Shi Niang's husband, you have to get used to this kind of cold atmosphere.
Zhe Yanye looked embarrassed and said hurriedly: "How dare you. How dare you. The Privy Councilor spoke harshly. It was because of his humble position that he offended the Privy Councilor's wife."
This sentence of the Privy Envoy's wife made Liu Yunxi feel comfortable. Her face softened slightly and she said: "Okay, you guys go out first. I have to heal General Zhe."
Now Zhe Yanye was afraid of this goddess doctor in his heart. He didn't dare to say anything or even ask. He went out obediently. You must know that his father's life is entirely in Liu Yunxi's hands. The miracle doctor is amazing.
The emperor could only stand aside in embarrassment.
When he came outside, Zhao Kai suddenly looked around, and finally locked his eyes on one person, and said with a smile: "Zai Xing, you have made the greatest contribution to this battle. I will definitely reward you heavily."
Yang Zaixing was feeling depressed because his horse was killed in battle. He never cared much about rewards. He cupped his fists and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, but this is only a matter for the general. How dare you ask for rewards."
"I knew you would say that."
Zhao Kai waved his hand and said: "Bring it up."
After a while, I saw a groom leading a tall black horse forward.
Zhao Kai said: "This horse was donated to me by the envoys from the Western Regions. I heard that your horse was killed in this battle, so I will give this horse to you."
This is the emperor's royal horse. Yang Zaixing said in fear: "How could a general be so virtuous and capable as to dare to control this horse?"
Zhao Kai laughed and said: "If I say you can, you can. I only hope that you can ride on this horse and continue to kill the enemy. That is the best reward for me. In addition, I will make you the Flying Dragon General."
This idiot is asking for nothing! Li Qi was anxious when he saw it. He didn't look like the soldiers he brought out. He quickly said: "If you are happy again, why don't you thank me quickly?"
When Yang Zaixing saw that Li Qi had spoken, he cupped his fists and said, "I will thank you for your kindness."
Zhao Kai handed over his riding whip and said, "Why don't you try it now."
In fact, Yang Zaixing felt itchy in his heart. He smiled slightly awkwardly and thanked the emperor for his kindness. Then he got a riding whip, jumped up, and got on the horse. He was extremely tall, and the horse was also tall and mighty. He looked up.
Once you sit down, it's really a perfect connection. It's so handsome. I don't know if it's the horse that adds courage to the general, or the general that adds to the strength of the horse.
"drive---!"
Yang Zaixing was so excited as he rode on such a fine horse that he galloped out. In less than a moment, he was a hundred paces away.
A brave general paired with a BMW is a pleasure to look at!
Zhao Kai looked at Yang Zaixing's galloping figure from a distance, and felt that it was not a gift, but a property returned to its original owner. This horse seemed to be born for Yang Zaixing.
After some reorganization, Zhao Kai, Li Qi, Zong Ze and other generals began to discuss the war.
Zongze further said: "Your Majesty, now our army has arrived and its momentum is high. We should take advantage of the situation and advance without giving the enemy a chance to breathe."
Li Qi nodded and said: "Prefect Zong's words make sense. Moreover, according to the news from Yue Fei, Wanyan Zonghan is very likely to lead his troops to return for reinforcements. We must at least rush to the city before Wanyan Zonghan comes back to avoid long nights and dreams."
Zhe Yanye frowned and said: "However, this car formation is moving slowly, and the enemy has repeatedly set up obstacles on the road. It may not be easy to reach the city in one go."
Zongze said: "That's just because you didn't have enough war horses to assist you at the beginning. In fact, during the Warring States Period, it was not uncommon to use chariots to charge. Now we have nearly 10,000 cavalry, which can cooperate with the chariot formations to launch attacks on the enemy."
Then he cupped his fists towards Zhao Kai and said: "I would like to be the vanguard and lead the troops, and I hope the emperor will agree." He has always been worried about the obstruction of this attack, feeling that he did not have a thorough plan, which led to the almost annihilation of this luxurious army.
, so I really want to make meritorious deeds.
In normal times, Zhao Kai would naturally be reluctant to let the elderly Zongze go into battle to kill the enemy, but this has reached the most critical moment. Victory or failure depends on this. Moreover, Zongze has put in a lot of efforts for this, and he is the only one in this formation.
He was most familiar with it, so he nodded and said: "Okay, I promise you."
On the day the Emperor of the Song Dynasty arrived, the Jin army received the news. Wan Yanchang and Gao Qingyi knew that the morale of the Song army was strong at this time and they should avoid its sharp edge, so they did not choose to attack again.
However, Zongze had no intention of giving them a chance to breathe. He began to reorganize his troops that day and mobilized 500 small tanks from various vehicle camps. As a forward force, he also mobilized 300 small tanks as forward troops.
The rear army has a lot of tricks here. If you deploy hundreds of chariots at will, it is very likely to destroy the chariot formation. Once the enemy rushes in, it will be full of flaws. Fortunately, this chariot formation was designed by Zongze himself.
, so he knew how to mobilize so that he would not destroy the original formation and maintain the power of the car formation, but only shrink the car formation.
Zongze then gathered all the ponies, mules, and camels that were pulling the carts, and placed them on the five hundred chariots. He also mobilized a thousand spearmen, two thousand heavy infantry, and a thousand archers for each chariot.
Place eight people. This will not affect the speed of the chariot's charge. There are also 300 chariots as reserves, ready to support the front at any time.
Later, Zongze ordered Yang Zaixing and Liu Qi to be the left and right vanguards. Each led four thousand cavalry to protect the left and right wings of the chariot.
Zhao Kai and Li Qi were in charge of the central army, leading the main convoy to follow Zongze.
The Song Dynasty army marched toward Yunzhou with great momentum under the emperor's halo.
When Wan Yanchang learned that the emperor of the Song Dynasty personally led all the main forces to attack, he did not dare to neglect and personally led all the main forces to fight.
A decisive battle officially kicked off.
The horn sounded.
Zongze, wearing armor and standing on the chariot, had the power of an old man talking about being a teenager. After giving an order, the soldiers of the three armies immediately rushed towards each other.
Wan Yanchang also ordered 10,000 elite troops to charge forward. When the battle reaches this point, the battle is all about hard power, and on this vast plain, it is difficult for you to engage in any conspiracy.
The horses' hooves hit the ground like a violent storm, making a loud clattering sound. The mules and camels pulling the chariots rolled up pieces of soil, and they were no less generous.
Seeing that the two sides were about to encounter each other, the Jin army's formation suddenly changed, opening its wings to avoid the sharp edge of the chariots, and fiercely attacked the two wings of the Song army. The door in the middle was wide open, and thousands of armored infantry charged head-on towards the Song army's chariots.
The rain of arrows fell suddenly. Yang Zaixing and Liu Qi had already expected it, but they were all cavalry. No one was afraid of whom. They rushed forward without fear and used bows and arrows to fight back. However, in terms of cavalry and shooting, the Song Army was still slightly inferior. The Jin Army soldiers
He used his special skills to fight and shoot without confronting the Song army. He relied on his skill with bows and horses and killed many Song soldiers.
Zongze saw that the Jin army did not confront his chariots, but chose to use infantry to hinder his chariots, and used cavalry to find his own cavalry for a decisive battle. This Song army cavalry was very valuable, especially at the moment, and the number
There were still fewer Jin troops, so Zongze immediately waved the battle flag, and the Song army's chariot also spread its wings, changing from vertical to horizontal. Seeing this, Yang Zaixing and Liu Qi immediately led their cavalry back to the center, transforming into chariots to protect the two wings, with the cavalry in the center.
In this way, the archers on the chariot can use powerful crossbows to attack the enemy. The range of this powerful crossbow is not weaker than that of the Jin army. In the front, the two sides also competed many times, and the Song army also gained an absolute advantage.
Under the cover of the two-wing convoy, Zongze immediately ordered Liu Qi to lead four thousand cavalry to cooperate with the withdrawal of troops in front to encircle and suppress the infantry in front of the Jin army.
This was an emergency response. The Jin army hoped to use infantry to hold back the Song army's chariots and use cavalry to actively destroy the Song army's cavalry. But how could Zongze do what he wanted and immediately use chariots to fight against the enemy's cavalry?
Use cavalry to attack the Jin army's infantry.
Wan Yanchang, who was watching the battle from the front, was greatly surprised when he saw that the opponent could calmly change the car formation at such a fast speed, but he was surprised and not afraid.
The generals on the left and right wings of the Jin Army were all capable of conquering and fighting. Seeing that the Song Army's cavalry was in the middle and the rear was empty, they did not confront the Song Army's chariots and immediately went back to the rear of the chariot formation. Because the narrow middle of the chariot formation was very difficult for the Song Army's cavalry.
It's hard to turn around.
As soon as Zongze saw that the Jin army planned to bypass the rear, he immediately mobilized the chariots of the rear team to gather together. Groups of heavy infantry jumped off the chariots, shaking their armors, making a clanging sound, and cooperated with the chariots to form a square formation.
There were many spears and rifles hidden behind them to protect his chrysanthemum position. Zongze ordered Yang Zaixing to go behind and cooperate with the enemies in the infantry area. After receiving the order, Yang Zaixing immediately led his men and horses, urged the horses to rush out of the car formation, and first killed the enemy.
The Shaojin Army soldier suddenly turned around quickly and ran towards the rear.
When the Jin army saw that the opponent had only a few thousand infantry, it was definitely a breakthrough point, and they immediately attacked fiercely.
"Roar---!"
The infantrymen wearing heavy armor suddenly let out a dull roar, and smoke and dust rose up. From a distance, it looked like a mountain of gold armor.
There is a saying that fighting requires courage!
"Kill---!"
When they were within a hundred steps, the Jurchen warriors drew their bows and arrows, and fired a dense rain of arrows at the opponent.
The shield soldiers in the front row raised their iron shields high and banged them, blocking most of them.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
As the saying goes, it is disrespectful to come back but not to reciprocate. A dense rain of arrows was fired from the chariot in the Song army formation. Without looking, you could tell that they were heavy rain pear blossom arrows. The Jin army hurriedly dispersed. In an instant, smoke filled the rear of the convoy and screams.
The sound was endless, but for the Jin army, this round of rainstorm pear blossom arrows still couldn't hurt the foundation, and there was no chance of a second round of rainstorm pear blossom arrows for the time being.
"kill----!"
A thousand soldiers, holding swords and axes, took the opportunity to cover up. It was like an overwhelming force, overwhelming the enemy.
The war horses neighed, the soldiers roared, clang clang. The sound of metal collision played a soul-stirring war song. The two sides fought fiercely, and people kept falling in a pool of bright red blood. They went on and on, but with the help of these thousand soldiers,
The barrier of chariots blocked the Jin army's fierce attack.
"Kill!"
It was too late, but soon, suddenly a group of black-armored knights attacked the left wing of the Jin army.
Coincidentally, this general on the left wing was Su Hu's younger brother Su Ma. Enemies were extremely jealous when they met. Seeing the enemy who killed his brother rushing towards him, he immediately led the army to meet him with two big axes in his hands, slashed down with both hands, and beheaded him.
The heads of the next two soldiers.
Yang Zaixing did not hesitate to make more concessions. The giant spear flew, and wherever it went, everyone fell down.
After eliminating all the obstacles in front of them, the two finally faced each other head-on.
Yang Zaixing was very eager to fight. He roared and swept away with his giant spear.
Su Ma faced Yang Zaixing with a deliberate attack. He didn't need to dodge, and swept across with both axes.
The guns and axes clashed, making a crisp metallic sound.
Sparks flew everywhere.
Both sides felt the pain of the tiger's mouth, and the two horses galloped past. Yang Zaixing did not show off his personal courage this time, and continued to charge towards the cavalry in front of the soldiers. Now Yang Zaixing had just obtained a good horse, and was awarded the title of Flying Dragon General by the emperor. He was in high spirits. , leaping up on his horse, beheading the enemy crazily, his black armor began to glow with bright red blood again.
Two days ago, the Jin army had seen Yang Zaixing's bravery and did not dare to take it lightly. They sent out a large number of troops to attack Yang Zaixing, hoping to surround and kill Yang Zaixing.
The speeding horse over there rushed up again, waving his double ax and slashing at Yang Zaixing. Yang Zaixing dodged with his horse, thrust his spear to the left, and pierced the long neck of the battle horse. The war horse swept back, the gun was so powerful and heavy that the war horse slashed against the ground like a boomerang, bang bang bang, just like throwing a bowling ball, hitting two or three horses, and instantly wiped out the surrounding enemies, and immediately took the opportunity to attack Run forward.
How can the speeding horse be willing to give up and urge the horse to catch up?
The men and horses on both sides immediately struggled into a ball, and the arrows met in the air, making a sound of piercing the air. The broadsword swept across, the sword wind roared, and the fire snakes sprang out. Within a radius of two feet, they were invincible, but the main force of the Jin army was concentrated on Behind the chariot, the Song army could not turn around in an instant. More and more Jin soldiers were fighting in the rear. Although the thousand soldiers fought bloody and outnumbered, they were not timid and fought when they encountered the enemy. No fear, this is the momentum and courage brought by the emperor.
When Wan Yanchang saw this in the distance, he made a decisive decision and once again sent out 5,000 elite soldiers to cooperate with the infantry in front to storm the front of the Song army, trying to attack the Song army from both sides and make it difficult for Zongze's guards to take care of them.
Just now, Zongze did not send Liu Qi to support the rear, but asked him to cooperate with the chariots in the front to eliminate the opponent's soldiers. He was worried that the opponent would send troops to attack the front. When he saw that the enemy actually sent troops to attack, he immediately ordered Liu Qi to attack. At the same time, the chariots again The formation changed. The chariots in front stopped and the chariots behind continued to rush to the two wings, forming a half-moon formation. It was obvious that this was a defensive formation.
The crossbow soldiers stood on the car or behind the car, stepped on the crossbow wall one after another, pulled out the full moon with both hands, raised the crossbow and fired, and the half-moon shaped arrows flew ruthlessly towards the Jurchen warriors.
The Jurchen warriors did not dare to advance rashly and fought with Liu Qi's troops in front of the car formation. Their army was just to contain the Song army. The real killing move was in the rear, which was also the Song army's weakest point.
At this time, many of the thousand soldiers had fallen. Although Yang Zaixing was brave, there were more and more enemies around him. More importantly, there was a mad dog behind him, biting him to death.
"ah!"
Yang Zaixing yelled, waved the giant gun with both hands, spun in the air, deflected three maces in a row, and then galloped away. Although he was a murderer, he was not stupid. He knew that if he continued to fight, sooner or later he would be killed. He was hacked to death by the Jin army.
"Little Yang, don't even think about running away."
Su Ma immediately chased after him.
This mad dog had to be dealt with first. Yang Zaixing glanced back from the corner of his eye, frowned slightly, and kept his head down while riding the horse for dozens of steps. Suddenly, he turned back and shot his horse, stabbing the speeding horse.
Su Ma is not an ordinary person. He subconsciously moved the two axes to the middle. However, the huge spear head did not stab the two axes, but appeared below the two axes. Su Ma couldn't help but look shocked and secretly thought
A bad sound.
Yang Zaixing thrust the giant spear upwards with all his strength. With a clang, he pushed the two axes apart. Once the two axes were opened, the door of Suma opened wide. How could Yang Zaixing miss this opportunity? The giant spear followed the trend and slashed down, hitting him hard.
On Su Ma's helmet, the power of this shot was almost the explosion of Yang Zaixing's potential. It directly broke Su Ma's helmet in half, and his brains burst out, killing him instantly.
At this moment, the sound of killing broke out from the rear. Orihiko Ye led 300 chariots and rushed up. He fired with a strong crossbow and mercilessly shot through the back of the Jurchen soldiers. Originally, the Jurchens were surrounding the Song army and were fighting in the rear.
They chased and fought fiercely, but this convoy came up and cooperated with the half-moon formation in front, and actually surrounded the main force of the Jin army.
When Zongze saw this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed. He ordered Liu Qi to contain the former Jin army, and dispatched a hundred chariots to fight back the main force of the Jin army that was outflanking the rear.
Over there, after Yang Zaixing killed the fast horse, he saw his rear army coming and immediately charged forward again.
The battle situation took a turn for the worse, and the main force of the Jin army was surrounded by the Song army.
Wan Yanchang's eyes were red with anxiety, and he could not care so much. He mounted his horse in person and led the remaining five thousand soldiers to charge forward. Zongze saw that Wan Yanchang personally led the troops to rescue him, so he did not dare to neglect, and dispatched his chariots again to cooperate with the shield.
Soldiers, spearmen, and cavalry formed a circle, trapping the main force of the Jin army inside and blocking the reinforcements of the Jin army outside.
It is almost impossible to encircle thousands of elites with only these 500 small tanks. Therefore, it must be matched with a military formation to trap the main force of the Jin army.
Suddenly, a black cloud floated over the chariot, covering the sky and the sun, and the light dimmed instantly.
"Report---! The enemy's main convoy is only five miles away from here."
A Jin Army sentry scout urged his horse to report to Gao Qingyi.
After hearing this, Gao Qingyi's face turned livid. At this critical moment, if the enemy's main convoy arrived but his own main force had not yet broken out of the encirclement or eliminated the enemy, everything would be over. But he had used all his cards and had no cards left.
After the fight, I could only pray to God.
Not to mention, his prayer really worked wonders.
The sound of horse hooves suddenly sounded in the northwest, shaking the dark clouds in the sky, and saw the overwhelming Jin army soldiers rushing up from above.
"It's Dutong, Dutong is here."
Many Jurchen soldiers looked at the oncoming powerful cavalry and danced excitedly and shouted loudly.
