Chapter 1607 The cavalry is crushed, and the mountains and rivers are powerful!
The roar of the torrent's hooves was like thunder. Whether it was the soldiers and horses of the various tribes commanded by Xiao Tang, Liu Fa who had arrived on the battlefield, the righteous troops of Xiao Jiasui, and most of the elite cavalry troops were heading towards the place where the Jin Army's tens of thousands of infantry had gathered.
Rushing forward. Different from the troops commanded by Xiao Tang who had been fighting fiercely with the Jin army for a long time, the rebels led by Liu Fa and Xiao Jiasui also seemed to have a tacit understanding and launched an all-out attack as soon as they arrived on the battlefield. However, after all, they were further away from the enemy's position.
The Jiaojin Army's infantry formation was surprised to find that enemy reinforcements were arriving and began to be on guard.
However, now Xiao Tang's fierce generals and powerful troops have the absolute upper hand over the cavalry. Almost everyone in the Jin army here is anxiously waiting to see how the coach, the fourth prince, plans to respond. On the other hand, the Jin army saw the Southern Song Dynasty people rushing to rush their horses.
, and formed a spectacular and terrifying momentum from all directions and rushed straight to cover them up. Many people wished they had two more legs or a pair of wings on their backs to deal with the enemy, instead of
They stayed where they were, like pigs and sheep waiting to be slaughtered, allowing the powerful southern barbarians to use their cavalry advantage to charge back and forth!
It's just that Wanyan Wushu, who was originally full of rage and wanted to give it a try, but when he saw the cavalry regiment of Xiao Tang's army forming a huge momentum, he immediately seemed to have been slapped with a sap and was stunned on the spot.
.Continuous emergencies appeared one after another. Although he, the fourth prince of the Jin Army, had made up his mind to fight his mortal enemy Xiao Tang from the beginning, but now faced with the sudden battle situation, Wanyan Wushu acted foolishly at the critical moment of the war.
After a while, I don't know how to give instructions.
Just as Xiao Tang expected, Wanyan Wushu was a famous general in the history of the Jin Dynasty who was praised for his unyielding ability and the ability to expand the country thousands of miles a day. He could quickly expand the results of battles with favorable winds, but once he gained power, he would be like a prairie fire. He was extremely strong-willed.
, but he is deficient at the tactical level. Once he suffers a surprise attack from the enemy, it is difficult to make flexible and effective adjustments to unexpected situations.
In haste and panic, Wanyan Wushu could only angrily shout orders to form a dense circular formation, and panickedly ordered all the infantry archers to fire arrows to intercept the enemy's fierce momentum. The army commander had already begun to panic.
, this gradually affected the mentality of all the soldiers under his command. Seeing that the momentum of the Jin Army's infantry, which was sandwiched by many rebel cavalry, was already showing signs of collapse.
Originally, the Song Dynasty was in confrontation with the Liao, Xia and other countries in the north, but it lacked a sufficient number of cavalry. In order to use the main force of infantry to counter the northern nomadic cavalry on the plains, all dynasties attached great importance to formations. However, the Jin Dynasty
The army still tended to be direct and brutal in the battles. At the peak of their fortune, they conquered the Liao and invaded the Song Dynasty. They advocated attack, attack, and attack again in the large and small wars to conquer the tribes in the north. Now they seem to be weak in the eyes of the Song people.
Forming an infantry formation to resist the overwhelming mountains was like a charge by the enemy's cavalry... This was not a skill that the Jin army had mastered in the first place. Many soldiers were bumping around like headless flies, and this chaotic scene was still
It is gradually spreading...
In panic, bursts of arrows flew into the air, shooting at the rebel cavalry formation that surged forward like a flood that burst a dike. Although some knights were hit by arrows and fell down from their horses immediately, but due to the haste of the Jin Army archers,
Arrow clusters were fired from time to time, but failed to form a dense rain of arrows one after another. More rebel cavalry raised their round shields, or managed to dodge the sharp arrows that struck their heads. Several waves of huge cavalry formations
The momentum of the charge was like an ancient behemoth running furiously on the ground. The rapid and hastily organized bows and arrows seemed to only scratch the surface, but could not effectively contain the mass of volunteers and cavalry athletes.
The momentum of riding!
Enemy cavalry formations surged in from three directions like a mountain torrent, forming an unstoppable force. Many soldiers in the Jin Army's infantry formations had rare looks of fear on their faces. In addition,
There are many fierce and fierce people among the Jurchen children. Although their immediate reaction is to risk their lives and fight to the end. However, due to their unbalanced mentality, they huddled together with the soldiers surging around them. Even if there were officers from various departments
The shouts and shouts to stabilize the position did not seem to be very effective. The army's attack was so serious and solemn, which stimulated the emotions of all the Jin Army generals in the formation. After all, they used to use force to take advantage of the situation.
They rushed into the enemy's formation, and some of the infantry guarding the front line were so panicked that they didn't even have time to form a group and set up their spears to form a defensive formation. When had they ever faced the enemy's sudden advance?
So embarrassed and panicked!?
Finally, the sound of rolling thunder was close to his ears. Zhai Jin burst out from among the cavalry who had rushed to the front of the Jin army's formation. He took the lead, raised his lance and ran straight into the formation.
The mount leapt with all four hooves, as if it had sprouted wings, and flew among the enemy infantry in front of it, which was already on the verge of breaking up before fighting. A huge and tyrannical momentum struck, knocking three or two sergeants upside down.
And out!
The Longxiang Army commanded by Zhai Jin and the Tiger Wing Army commanded by his brother Zhai Xing were like two sharp knives that penetrated the Jin Army's infantry formation from both wings. These two cavalry brigades were both wearing leather armor for protection.
The men and horses were heavily armored heavy cavalry. However, facing a tyrannical opponent who later generations would sigh that "from the beginning of the Jin Dynasty, there is no stronger person in the world than this", after charging through the formation, they found that many positions in the formation were completely empty.
A complete formation line was organized, and numerous large-scale cavalry formations ferociously passed through the opponent's infantry-dominated army. The charge momentum of the light cavalry was more like an out-and-out heavy cavalry at this time.
The strategy of charging directly into the Jin army without having to make roundabout attacks or probing attacks was also planned by Liu Fa. The god-general that day was dormant and secluded, and he also analyzed the time when the Jin army was dominating the world.
An enemy-breaking tactic often used by Tien Tien. Taking advantage of this enemy chieftain's army, which tends to attack the strong and defend the weak, to fall into decline, the momentum of the powerful cavalry charging into the formation will gradually destroy the enemy's front line.
As for Zhai Xing and Zhai Jin, they were originally from the Western Army. They were skilled generals in cavalry warfare. They were ordered to lead their troops to demonstrate their mastery. During the Song-Xia War, they were ambushed and surrounded by Tibetan King Chage. The Song army was in front.
Later, the three left armies were defeated one after another. Even when their coach Liu Fa was missing, the two brothers were still able to lead the rest of the cavalry into the Xia Army's heavy formation and kill several times in and out. What's more, the battle situation has gradually suppressed the opponent.
Down!?
Behind Zhai Jin, countless powerful knights of the Dragon Army followed him closely and rode into the Jin Army's infantry. However, some of those who still dared to stand in front of them with their flesh and blood were chopped up and stabbed in an instant.
However, a large area of the array in front fell down with a roar, and the frightening sound of weapons piercing flesh never stopped. The Jin army in chaos was certainly not a patchwork of mobs, each of them was fierce and good at fighting.
They do not avoid life and death, but many of them are not proficient in military matters such as holding formations and forming formations. On the contrary, they are far inferior to the relatively well-trained troops in the Song army. Under the aggressive and fierce offensive, more and more soldiers
Bu Qu adopted a posture of fighting on their own, using only their strong bodies to try to resist the opponent's accelerating momentum, but how many more lives of soldiers had to be sacrificed in the process?
Zhai Jin quickly advanced with his gun, and took advantage of the galloping momentum of the horse to stab the chest of a Jin Army infantry general in front of him. However, when Zhai Jin was shocked, he realized that the lance seemed to be straight.
Stuck among the enemy general's flesh and blood and broken armor, he gave up his hand immediately, then took off the big knife from the victory hook of the saddle and continued to attack with left and right slashes. On the other side, he also entered the enemy's formation.
Zhai Xing was in the same situation as his elder brother. He was wielding a big knife and slashing at Jin Jun's head and face. Behind him, a large number of athletes from the Tiger Wing Army followed him to the death. They had to plow a bloody path out even if they were thrown into the formation!
However, on the side of the charging cavalry formation, Wang Jian, the general of the Tiger Wing Army, was waving his weapons and was also killing fiercely. When he was able to lead his troops to break through a line of defense composed of Jin troops, the Jurchen army arrayed behind them
His reaction was extremely astute. He had already ordered the infantry groups under his command to set up their spears and move forward. Wang Jian, who was the first to rush out, suddenly found that the dense spear points in front were coming towards him. He was caught off guard when he reacted.
Dozens of spears and spear blades immediately dug out countless bloody holes on Wang Jian and his horse!
Wang Jian, who vomited a large mouthful of blood, was almost forcibly lifted up by a spear. He glared at the soldiers gathered in front of him with a pair of bloody eyes. His arms that were still about to make a killing move gradually dropped down. Behind him were a large number of brave and vigorous rebels.
When they arrived, Wang Jian, the general of the Tiger Wing Army, was killed heroically!
