The nine thousand Jurchen cavalry were the lucky ones among the first wave of cavalry, but they faced a crueler reality. The nine thousand cavalry plus the more than 20,000 infantrymen under the city were still blocked outside the city wall, and they were still a living target for the opponent.
Therefore, the two camp gates in the northeast are their primary targets.
The camp gate on the east side has collapsed. This is the only entrance to the east wall. Thousands of Jurchen cavalry rushed towards the entrance of the camp gate without hesitation and no choice.
The Jurchen cavalry's reputation is by no means in vain. Their horsemanship skills are unparalleled in the world. Even the Liao people who once were the best in riding and shooting can hardly compare with them. It is not just luck that these nine thousand lucky people can rush to the camp wall alive. They
All of them were cavalry with superb riding skills. Facing the city head and being rained down by arrows, they hid on the sides of their stirrups or even under the horses' bellies to avoid attacks. This was also an important reason why they were able to rush to the camp wall alive.
More than nine thousand cavalry rushed towards the camp gate. The east camp gate was already open, and hundreds of cavalry rushed into the camp gate first. However, what greeted them was another blockade of ferocious arrows.
On the camp gate passage, in such a narrow situation, riding skills could not help them. Although they huddled in the belly of the horse to avoid the arrows, the horses could not escape the arrows. The horses that rushed into the camp were immediately hit.
They shot into hedgehogs, neighing and rolling to the ground, stirring up dust all over the sky. Some of the Jurchen riders were directly crushed by the heavy horses, causing their muscles and bones to break, and they fell to pieces. Although some were strong and able to escape from the horses in time, they were unable to do so due to the terrain.
It was too narrow to avoid being trampled by the cavalry that followed. There were heavy casualties for a while.
At the camp gate on the north side, the camp gate that had not collapsed suddenly exploded. The Jurchen cavalry directly knocked open the camp gate that had been chopped into pieces. Of course, there was no choice. If they didn't force it open, would they be beaten outside the wall?
More than a dozen cavalrymen were also red-eyed and did not want to live anymore. They rushed forward with their horses and smashed the damaged camp gate into pieces. The following Jurchen cavalrymen swarmed in. However, they were also met by the Luoyan Army cavalry who had been waiting here for a long time.
The shooter's vicious blow.
However, hundreds of archers could not stop the Jurchen cavalry who had no other choice from rushing into the camp. After losing thousands of men again, a large number of Jurchen cavalry poured into the camp.
At the same time, the shouts of killing outside the camp were loud, and the sound of horse hooves was roaring. The second echelon of Jurchen cavalry had already rushed a hundred steps away. The black pressure rushed over like a wave. The walls of the camp and the earth platforms inside the walls
The defenders on the top could only focus on attacking the second wave of Jurchen cavalry, and had no time to attack the thousands of Jurchen cavalry who rushed into the camp. Because the commander-in-chief made it very clear before the battle, it does not matter how many people rush into the camp.
After entering the camp, the focus of the defenders' troops, horses, and firearms is to eliminate a large number of enemy forces when they charge, and there will be people in the camp to deal with them.
The person in charge of the camp was Ma Qingshan. His 30,000 cavalry were already waiting near the camp gate for the moment when the opponent broke into the camp. When bows and arrows could no longer prevent the opponent from flooding into the camp gate, Ma Qingshan raised his long sword high.
, two cavalry teams of ten thousand people rushed forward, intercepted the opponent's cavalry head-on, and trapped them. The two sides started fighting in the camp.
.
It has to be said that today's battle is rare in ancient and modern times. There has never been a battle started inside and outside the camp at the same time. You may say that the opponent has broken the camp, but the defenders of the Luoyan Army are as solid as a rock on the camp wall. You may say that the camp has not been broken.
The Jurchen cavalry entered the camp, and the fighting was fierce in the camp. You beat yours, I beat mine, everyone beat their own, and it became a mess.
But this is exactly what Lin Jue hoped for. In a frontal field battle, although the Luoyan Army has the advantage of firearms, it is no match. The opponent's cavalry is attacking from all directions, and the firearms can only resist for a while. In the end, they have to rely on frontal hand-to-hand combat. The Jurchens
With many soldiers and horses and high cavalry combat effectiveness, the Luoyan Army is bound to be difficult to defeat. That's why Lin Jue wanted to use his strengths and avoid weaknesses and build camps. The purpose of building camps is to transform field combat into positional combat and abruptly change the way of fighting. But this does not guarantee convenience.
In a completely passive situation of being beaten. For example, if the camp wall that Lin Jue was worried about was destroyed by the opponent's siege equipment, the opponent would change the fighting method again and enter the opponent's familiar combat methods again. This is also the reason why the camp gate was broken before him.
, the reason why the opponent's soldiers and horses had already rushed into the camp, but Lin Jue still defended the camp gate. The opponent had already suffered a lot of losses during the charge, and the cavalry that rushed into the camp were not enough to change the situation of the battle, and our own troops in the camp
The cavalry is waiting for work and annihilating the opponent with superior force. This is exactly what Lin Jue wants to see. Dividing the battlefield and eliminating the Jurchens' effective strength is the result Lin Jue wants. Everything starts from the battle situation and the actual combat advantages.
, instead of being led around by the nose in order to ensure that the camp is not invaded by the opponent.
The second wave of cavalry rushed in, and fierce blows followed. This time the Jurchen cavalry also suffered heavy losses, but after witnessing the tragedy of the first wave of cavalry, the cavalry's formation was deliberately spread out, so the casualties were
It has been reduced a lot. And all the cavalry, after rushing through the swarm of rocket launchers and bows and arrows, headed straight for the two open camp gates. Their goal was very clear. They did not give the opponent a chance to have grenades everywhere, and concentrated their cavalry strength to rush forward.
Entering the camp, there will be a big melee inside the camp. The opponent's grenade throwers are scattered all over the camp wall, making it difficult to assemble in a short period of time. Although forming a formation at the entrance of the camp will cause heavy casualties in a short period of time, it is better than being bombed everywhere.
many.
The short-term casualties resulted in chaos in the opponent's defense system, and the opponent's inability to quickly gather strong firepower would eventually make the camp gate a huge breakthrough. Wanyan Aguda wanted more cavalry to rush into the camp.
On the one hand, it reinforced its own cavalry that had already rushed in. On the other hand, it made the entire battle situation more chaotic and made Lin Jue's defense system completely ineffective. When there was an internal emergency, could the opponent still defend on the camp wall? They must have
Sending out men and horses to fight will create conditions for the last and most ferocious charge.
People often say that when you fight against stupid opponents, you will become stupid yourself. Just like playing chess, your chess skills will improve when you play against masters, but when you play against stinky chess players, your chess will become more and more stinky. Wanyan Aguda
I have fought with Lin Jue so many times, and every time I was crushed by Lin Jue's IQ, I was always in the wrong position.
He fell into a trap and was almost completely suppressed. However, after suffering losses this time, Wanyan Aguda also began to adapt to the rhythm of fighting against Lin Jue. After paying the tuition fee of hundreds of thousands of people who were annihilated, he was able to comprehensively defeat the enemy.
In order to control the overall situation, if Wanyan Aguda does not make any progress in the battle with Lin Jue, then it must be that he is a pig.
But Wanyan Aguda is obviously not a pig, he is a wolf, and he is the kind of evil wolf with undying ambition and a tough heart. Although this battle seems to be an act of frustration, it is actually because he understands that he wants to reverse the situation.
His methods had failed, leaving only the final means of victory. He also understood that even if he withdrew his troops and conserved his strength, Lin Jue would never let him go. He invaded Da Zhou and killed dozens of Da Zhou
This blood debt of tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians cannot be written off in one go. As the current actual leader of the Zhou Dynasty, Lin Jue cannot ignore the voices in the Zhou Dynasty, otherwise his position will be in jeopardy.
Therefore, this battle must be fought and must be won. Only in this way can Wanyan Aguda restore his reputation and shock the world. As for the loss of strength, the Liao people may take the opportunity to make moves, but Wanyan Aguda believes that,
Even if he only has 10,000 or 20,000 soldiers and horses left, he can still conquer the idiots of the Liao Kingdom. After winning this battle, the temper of the people of the Zhou Dynasty will definitely be to cede territory and negotiate for peace. He can stabilize the Zhou Dynasty first, and then make plans
Go south and take the safe old road suggested by Lin Jue before.
So when this battle started, Wanyan Agu knew that he could not lose. He had been thinking actively from the beginning of the war and making adjustments according to the battle situation. It can be said that at this moment, Wanyan Agu had actually achieved
The highest point of his IQ in his entire life. In the past many years, he had never had such adaptability and ability to adjust combat. To a certain extent, Lin Jue inspired his potential and made him even more powerful than before.
.
Wanyan Agu's adjustment worked. When the second wave of nearly 20,000 cavalry broke through numerous obstacles and gathered into a powerful torrent towards the entrance of the two camp gates, the Luoyan Army had to adjust its defensive strength accordingly. The defenders of the camp wall moved toward
They gathered at the camp gate. The throwers who had originally fixed their throwing positions also had to gather at the camp gate, otherwise they would not be able to throw melon grenades. Before they arrived, the opponent's second wave of cavalry had already arrived at the camp gate and started going crazy.
Rush into the camp.
At the same time, the third wave of 30,000 Jurchen cavalry launched a charge. After the Luoyan Army defenders fired the last two rounds of swarm rocket launchers, the third wave of Jurchen cavalry actually had no powerful means to stop them.
Because the mobilization of defensive manpower on the camp wall affected the entire blocking effect, this allowed the third wave of Jurchen cavalry to successfully reach the outside of the camp wall. The tens of thousands of infantrymen who had been dormant under the city wall also began to move, and the hooks in their hands began to move.
Throwing on the camp wall.
At the same time, shouts of killing were also heard from two directions southwest of the camp. Two Jurchen cavalry ambushing in the southwest also launched a fierce attack at the same time.
The Jurchens seemed to have found a loophole in the Luoyan Army, and finally the whole army attacked and launched the final fierce attack.
