There are no words to describe this cavalry battle involving up to 200,000 people, because it is completely impossible to describe the madness of the battle.
The black Jurchen army spread like a flood, washing away everything along the way and being involved in the torrent. The Jurchen fighting method was extremely barbaric. In addition to charging and killing, they would even attack like apes.
Get on the opponent's horse and fight with the opponent at close quarters. They use all the means to injure the opponent to deal with the opponent. If the crescent knife doesn't work, they will dig with their fingers, bite with their teeth, and use
Headbutt the opponent. This is a common method they use when fighting wild beasts.
The old hunters in the tribe told the young people that if you want to kill a ferocious beast, you must be more ferocious than the beast. Use all the parts of your body that can kill the beast to deal with it. Gouge out their eyeballs and bite their teeth.
Use your throat to pull out their trachea, and use your elbow or even head to hit their vulnerable parts. In short, do whatever you can to kill the beast as quickly as possible, so that you will not be bitten by them, and you will be safe.
The elders of the Jurchen tribe also warned the young hunters that the prey will be safe only when it takes its last breath. The safest prey is not the prey that seems to be tamed, but the prey that is dead.
The Jurchens used all this theory in combat. They were extremely ruthless and treated the Liao people as beasts and prey in the mountains and forests. Therefore, their battles were particularly bloody and cruel. The Liao cavalry
Some had their eyeballs gouged out and hung on their faces, some had their flesh bitten off and their throats opened. The sight was horrific. On the battlefield and in hunting, the Jurchens were as ferocious as wild beasts, or even more ferocious than wild beasts.
Much.
The soldiers and horses of the Liao Kingdom have never experienced such a battle. The ferocity of the Jurchens has indeed been proven in these three years, but those who have never experienced fighting with them will not know the horror. Only if you have experienced it yourself will you know
What a gut-wrenching feeling that was.
The battle lasted less than half an hour, and the Liao cavalry panicked and lost their fighting spirit, because too many soldiers and horses were killed and injured, which had exceeded the limit of their psychological endurance. The scene finally happened after Yelucai led his three thousand cavalry guards to turn around and escape.
Completely collapsed. Yelucai couldn't hold on any longer. He wanted to survive, so he took the lead in escaping. Of course, the Liao cavalry army collapsed thousands of miles and was completely defeated.
The battle entered a one-sided pursuit, with the Jurchen cavalry chasing rabbits everywhere like chasing rabbits on the grassland. The defeated Liao cavalry scattered and fled everywhere, some heading east and some heading south, crying and shouting.
I hate my parents for not giving me two extra legs. I just hate that my horse has no ribs to give me wings so that I can fly in the sky.
It wasn't until daylight that the chase came to an end. Wanyan Agu ordered the troops to be withdrawn, the battlefield was cleaned, and the results of the battle were counted. Soon after, preliminary statistics were obtained. In tonight's battle, the Jurchens lost less than 13,000 men.
At the cost of a thousand men, nearly 90,000 enemies were wiped out. In addition to the more than 10,000 soldiers and horses who fled with Yelucai, the 120,000 Liao cavalry also had more than 10,000 people who fled to various places. The rest were either killed or seriously injured.
Or be captured. The arrogant and invincible Liao cavalry, regarded by some as an invincible army, faced the brave and invincible Liao cavalry who had no armor or saddles, and only had crescent swords and short bows all over their bodies. They were defeated.
When the Liao people regarded the Jurchen cavalry as an inferior tribe and uncivilized people, they were completely defeated and almost all of them were killed.
Annihilate.
After this battle, Wanyan Agu once again completed his strategic vision. The various defeat strategies were realized. After the 120,000 cavalry army in the southeast was annihilated, Wanyan Agu's Jurchen cavalry basically did not have to worry about being defeated by superiors and subordinates.
The danger of encirclement and annihilation is high.
…
In the dawn light, the dewdrops on the grass tips have not yet dried up. In the woods at the north pass of Helong Mountain, more than a hundred brothers, including Lin Jue and Sun Dayong, were resting in the forest clearing. Last night, the Jurchens and the Liao people had a heart-to-heart.
The battle was extremely fierce, and Lin Jue and others became spectators on the battlefield for a while.
As early as the second watch, when the Battle of Fukou started, Lin Jue had keenly guessed the true intentions of the Jurchens. However, Lin Jue was not sure yet how the Jurchens ambush the Liao cavalry. But one thing is certain, the Ferry
The battle was undoubtedly a feint.
Lin Jue couldn't sit still immediately. He felt that there would be a big battle tonight. It was naturally safe to stay on the top of Helong Mountain, but he couldn't see the details of the battle at all, and he couldn't spy on the battle between the two sides.
Characteristics. So, Lin Jue immediately ordered everyone to go down the mountain and get close to the battlefield to watch the battle.
Although this decision was very risky, the people around Lin Jue were already used to it. No matter what Mr. Lin's decision was, it was reasonable because he had seen too many seemingly unreasonable orders from him. Everyone immediately went down the mountain and took the command from the valley.
All the hidden horses were pulled out, and they rode out of the Helong Mountain Valley and headed straight to the location south of the ferry predicted by Lin Jue.
Hurrying slowly, they finally arrived at a location near the battlefield before the fourth watch. Of course, Lin Jue and others did not dare to act rashly. They left a few miles away from the area designated by Lin Jue, and the men and horses were hidden in a forest.
Watch from a distance to see what will happen.
Then, they saw the Jurchens suddenly springing out from the ground, surrounding tens of thousands of Liao cavalry and killing them. They also saw the Jurchens waving their crescent knives and throwing them. Tens of thousands of them were spinning and dancing in the air, making
A scene that sounded like wind and thunder. After that, the Jurchens' fighting style was also impressive. Their ferocious fighting style, like wild beasts, stunned Lin Jue and others who were watching the battle.
Halfway through the battle, Lin Jue ordered to retreat to the mountains. This was because Lin Jue concluded that the Liao people would be defeated and the Jurchens would win a complete victory. There was no point in staying there any longer. It would be unsafe if the Liao cavalry fled.
Factors. In addition, the sky was getting brighter and they could not be exposed to the wilderness and grasslands. Therefore, everyone rushed back and rushed back to a mountain forest at the entrance of Helong Valley to rest before dawn.
The embers of the bonfire are still hot, and the kettle hanging on the bonfire is steaming. A few compressed sugar cookies emit an attractive aroma on the charcoal fire. But the people sitting around on the grass are not eating, but are looking at you.
We chatted about what we had just seen.
It has to be said that Sun Dayong and other Luoyan Army guards were quite shocked after witnessing the battle just now. They have not recovered yet, and Ren Jiuchang is still in surprise at everything that happened on the battlefield.
"The Jurchens are really not vegetarians. This is the first time I have seen that kind of fighting method, which is as vicious and ferocious as a wild beast. Before, I was wondering, how on earth could the Jurchens get to where they are today? Liao Kingdom
The army didn't destroy them in three years. This is really a mystery in my mind.
But now, I finally understand. In terms of bravery, the Liao people are not as good as the Jurchens. In terms of strategy, the Liao people are obviously not as strong as the Jurchens. In terms of courage and means of killing enemies, the Liao people are also far inferior. They are not women at all.
For a real opponent, such a result is not surprising." Sun Dayong waved his palms and said loudly with excitement.
"Yes, what Mr. Sun said is absolutely true. Although the Jurchens are not fully equipped, they are better than the Liao people in many aspects. Not to mention anything else, just their ability to ambush people and horses in the wilderness is amazing.
." A guard leader nodded in agreement.
"The Jurchens are called cavalry. The man and horse are integrated into one, and their equestrian skills make people worship them. We have said before that the Liao people are good at riding, and they grew up on horseback. But compared with the Jurchens, they are far behind.
Yes. Today has overturned my idea. I have always thought that the Liao cavalry is the best in the world. But now compared with the Jurchen cavalry, the Liao cavalry is simply vulnerable. The real cavalry is the best in the world, and it must be a Jurchen talent.
Yes." The other leader also nodded and said.
Lin Jue looked at everyone with a smile and said: "Brother Sun and several brothers seem to be really shocked. You seem to be very complimentary of the Jurchens. Admittedly, even I was stunned. I didn't expect the Jurchens to be so powerful.
That's it. In tonight's battle, they cleverly set up an ambush and attacked ferociously. The defeat of the Liao people is actually not unfair at all, because they were defeated in all aspects. It's awesome. It's awesome."
Sun Dayong smacked his lips and said: "Even adults are amazed, which shows how powerful the Jurchens are in battle. I am actually not very happy. The emergence of this Jurchen soldier is not a good thing for the world. No.
I have to tell you, sir, besides admiring the Jurchens, my subordinates also have some worries in their hearts."
Lin Jue smiled and said, "What are you worried about?"
Sun Dayong said softly: "I was thinking, if our Luoyan Army fights with the Jurchens, what are the chances of winning? Maybe I am overthinking, the Jurchens and the Luoyan Army are not even close to each other, and I am afraid there is little chance of a fight. But
But I still can’t help but think and compare like this.”
After hearing this, everyone looked at Lin Jue blankly. To be honest, Sun Dayong's words actually represented the thoughts of many people. If such a powerful Jurchen and the Luoyan Army faced each other on the battlefield, who would win and who would lose? Everyone's hearts were also confused.
I really can't help but think so.
Lin Jue heard the words and burst into laughter. He nodded and said: "Brother Sun, this is a good question. I am very pleased that you can think of this question. This proves that you are not frightened by them, but think about practical problems calmly."
.Yes, I am also thinking, who will win and who will lose when our Luoyan Army and the Jurchen soldiers and horses fight? Although this seems to be a hypothesis at present, but things are unpredictable, maybe we will fight on the battlefield in the future. Rather than wait until then
If you think about this problem, it is better to think about it early and solve the problem early."
Everyone nodded, and Sun Dayong said: "Sir, can you tell us about this? Who is better, the Luoyan Army, or the Jurchens?"
Lin Jue raised his eyes to look at Sun Dayong and shouted in a deep voice: "Brother Sun, never doubt the strength of the Luoyan Army at any time. If our Luoyan Army confronts the Jurchens, the winner will naturally be our Luoyan Army. Because it is very simple, the Luoyan Army
They are our soldiers and horses, so they naturally want to win and win at all costs. There is no word 'failure' in our dictionary. Do you understand?"
