"General Song actually didn't let the cavalry cross the river first. It seems that he was very clever!"
A party general said thoughtfully.
"Otherwise, I wouldn't have led my army to Tiandu Mountain." Wei Mingling said.
"Do you know who General Song is?"
"The handsome flag has the word "王" on it!"
Wei Minglingda said to the people around him: "It's good to remember this man. If he doesn't die today, he will be a big trouble for our party in the future!"
All the generals looked unconvinced when they heard this.
"If it's really so great, how could we have fooled our plan? I'll lead a few troops to charge first!"
Wei Ming Lingda said: "No, let Young Master Chuang charge first!"
…
Zhang Yue put on the armor awkwardly. The armor weighing dozens of kilograms was not comfortable at all, but wearing this pair of armor made Zhang Yue feel calmer.
At least I'm not afraid of easy losses.
But having said that, this armor is really heavy, and it is too heavy to walk even a few steps, let alone run. But I heard that the Xixia people’s Bubazi are also heavy infantry, but they can walk like a heavy infantryman wearing heavy armor.
fly.
This is the elite formed by the Dangxiang people recruited from the Qiang people in Hengshan. Fortunately, the Dangxiang army on the opposite side probably does not have this kind of troops.
However, Xixia cavalry was seen galloping from a distance, but the Song army had already stabilized its position under the command of Wang Shao.
Wang Shao ordered five of the six commanders of the Song army brought from ancient Wei to form a strong formation with spears and crossbows in front of the party members, while Wang Hou led one command of the cavalry to station in the middle army.
As for the left and right wings, auxiliary soldiers were responsible for guarding with bows.
Because they were arrayed with two rivers on their backs, the Song army's formation was almost in the shape of a pocket. From the military point of view, this was considered a desperate situation.
Zhang Yue glanced at Wang Shao, but saw that he was calm and composed. Zhang Yue asked tentatively: "Fujian, do you have any good strategies to face the enemy?"
Wang Shao shook his head and said: "Without him, the soldiers will stop us, and the water will cover us!"
Zhang Yue thought to himself that although the Song army was at such a strategic disadvantage, Wang Shao was still full of confidence.
At this time, I saw the sun shining over the mountains, and I saw the five-command Song Army shining brightly. I saw the Song Army wearing heavy armor and holding a hard crossbow, facing the Dangxiang Army galloping back and forth.
The cavalry is as solid as a rock.
Wang Shao said indifferently: "In the past, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty said that the reason why we were victorious in every battle was because of our strong and powerful soldiers!"
"Let's just wait and see how our sons defeat the enemy."
…
At this moment, the Dangxiang army formation separated, and a group of Dangxiang army men with bald hair and leather robes, armed with various weapons, rushed towards the Song army.
Wang Shao glanced at it and said disdainfully: "It's just an insult to you!"
Zhang Yue had heard the name of Young Master Chuang. These were the Han people who were kidnapped when Xixia invaded the border of Song Dynasty. Later, Xixia used these Han people as party members and put them on the front line during daily battles. To put it bluntly, they were cannon fodder!
Seeing the enemy coming to kill, the Song army lowered its soldiers in the formation and immediately drew their bows and arrows!
…
Zhang Yue didn't know much about military affairs, so he was just watching the excitement. Although the Song army's camp was ordinary, a trench was dug when they set up camp last night, but it was only half a foot deep. If a person jumped hard, he could jump over it.
At the same time, a timber camp was built near the mountain in order to cut wood to cross the river.
But when the party's cavalry came to attack, dozens of craftsmen and soldiers in the lumber camp who had no time to escape were killed on the spot.
When Chuang Gongzi came to kill him, the Song army's arrows missed and shot out like a swarm of locusts.
Wang Shao was in a good mood and talked about military affairs with Zhang Yue. Zhang Yue got tired of listening, so he took a horse and sat down.
The sound of waves on the riverside was heard, and Chuang Gongzi actually attacked the wooden fence, and was forced back by the Song army with long spears. However, Chuang Gongzi refused to retreat, and actually rushed through several waves, leaving behind two to three hundred corpses before retreating.
The party leader was furious when he saw Chuang Gongzi retreating. He was about to lead his sons to kill all the Chuang Gongzi who had retreated, but Weiming Lingda stopped him and said: "Okay, so many people have died. In the future, we will fight against the Song army."
Use it."
Only with a word from Wei Ming Lingda can these remaining young masters survive.
"The Song army is all wearing armor and has hard crossbows!"
After testing the Song army's true and false status by using the son to hit him, a party leader expressed his opinion.
Wei Minglingda put his hands on his hands and laughed and said, "If we win, they will all be ours."
All the party leaders laughed when they heard this.
"Have a rest?"
The generals cheered in agreement.
"I see that the left and right sides of the Song army are a bit weak. One head is attacking the front, and the other is attacking the side!" Wei Minglingda gave the order.
Woohoo!
The horns in the Party Army sounded.
The familiar veterans in the Song Army knew that the Dangxiang people were about to attack. Starting from Haoshuichuan, the Song Army suffered repeated defeats, and many people were a little scared to hear this.
Wang Shao looked serious when he heard this.
Zhang Yue simply started to watch the battle.
As Wang Shao continued to give orders, the Song army began to fight, and Zhang Yue watched Dang Xiang's cavalry approaching.
The sound of horse hoofbeats rumbled for two miles, one mile, and half a mile away. Suddenly, a detachment of Dangxiang cavalry was seen attacking the right side of the Song army.
The Dangxiang riders on horseback immediately launched a round of rain, and the Tibetan tribe responsible for the right side of the Song army did not show any weakness and fired at them.
After the Dangxiang cavalry charged into the formation, they did not directly cut through the front, but immediately spread out on two wings and left. At the same time, they threw their javelins and axes at the Song army behind the fence, and the Song army's archers also responded in kind.
Many soldiers groaned and fell off their horses or fell on the spot.
Zhang Yue looked at the front and saw that the Song army suffered fewer casualties because of its armor, but the Song army on the flanks suffered from more casualties.
Zhang Yue looked at Dangxiang's cavalry jumping and jumping on their horses. There is no doubt that they are elite soldiers with their equestrian and archery skills. Dangxiang's army was also shrewd and unexpectedly attacked the Song army's relatively weak flank.
The Dangxiang Army attacked the left side of the Song Army. Several rounds of arrows rained down, and the Song Army composed of Fan tribes on the flank suffered heavy casualties. Seeing this scene, the Dangxiang Army's infantry dispatched.
Although the infantry of Dangxiang's army were not as good as Hengshan's infantry, they were still wearing armor and holding swords and shields.
After they blocked the Song army's arrows with their shields, they shouted and rushed to the wooden fence to break the formation.
…
Immediately, Wei Minglingda watched Dang Xiang's army attack the flanks of the Song Army like chopping melons and vegetables. He laughed and said, "I read that right. The flanks of the Song Army are all weak."
But another person reminded: "But Your Majesty, Song Jun is facing the front..."
It turns out that the Dangxiang army on the front also wanted to imitate the flank attack, but not only did they not get it, they were pushed back, and the battle line retreated steadily!
Weiming Lingda scolded: "Who told him to attack in such a hurry? Didn't he know that the Song army had elite soldiers in front of it?"
…
At this time, Wang Shao saw that the two parties' armies were out of touch, and immediately seized the opportunity and said to Wang Hou: "Take your men and charge for a while, and kill between the two parties' armies!"
Wang Hou was overjoyed and immediately got on the horse. However, he saw a cavalry commanded by the Song Army. Everyone was holding the reins of their horses and sitting on the ground to recharge their batteries. After hearing Wang Hou's order, they all immediately stood up and mounted their horses.
Wang Hou shouted: "Kill!"
The Song Army cavalry immediately protruded from the camp.
At this time, Wang Shao walked from the slope of Shuaiqi to the drum of the Chinese army and shouted to the left and right: "Beat the drum!"
