In the morning, when Han Shizhong started to prepare the second bowl of mutton cakes, some of the Jurchen knights had already finished putting on their armor, and the battle officially broke out.
As soon as they came up, the Song army, which was guarding the main camp, fell into a hard fight.
This is of course, in this era marked by heavy iron armor, almost all tactics are based on heavy armor and armor-breaking... And the part of the Song army at the forefront actually only has leather armor. Fundamentally, they were unable to compete with the Jurchen warriors who hurriedly put on armor and went into battle.
Facing the close-range heavy arrows and close-quarters infantry assaults of the Jurchen cavalry, except for a fortress that they relied on the most, these Song troops basically could only rely on wooden shields for defense and spears to hinder the attack.
But it was unable to cause effective damage to the Jin army.
On the contrary, if you are not careful, you will be killed by a Jurchen knight or a dismounted knight who approaches and fires heavy arrows.
There is nothing you can do about it. If someone is hit by a Jurchen's heavy arrow, he will basically lose his combat effectiveness even if he is not dead.
It's really just waste and consumption.
But at this time, Han Shizhong's elite troops, who were hiding behind stone barriers, trenches, fences, water vapor, and these leather-armored rebels, were just eating and sitting around. They even kept quiet and chewed slowly at the request of the officers. ...Only a few apparently young faces raised their heads and looked towards the east, that is, the battle area.
This is of course not indifference, nor is it just a matter of Han Shizhong's strict military management. It is more because the two armies of the Beiwei Army and the Depian Army are truly extraordinary. They not only enjoy the best of the imperial camp left army The treatment is the best, the best equipment is used, and the training is the most demanding and the discipline is the strictest.
At the same time, as the two troops that Han Shizhong formed immediately after escaping from Hebei that day, these two troops have experienced almost all the big and small battles in Jian Yan's life, and they have suffered heavy defeats and victories, even if they are constantly updated. The soldiers can be said to have a very fine fighting tradition.
However, it is worth mentioning that the Beiwei Army never specifically refers to the Guards Cavalry, and the Depian Army does not specifically refer to the crossbow troops... In a sense, these two military numbers are both bad military units. Number.
The name "Beiwei Army" comes from Xixia. It doesn't matter whether "Beiwei" refers to being tall or carrying a wine bottle or shield. Anyway, it has become a common title during the hundreds of years of entanglement between the Western Army and Xixia. Generally speaking, In other words, it refers to the general's guards, but because Han Shizhong has always been good at using cavalry, so when he became more developed, he chose to set up his Beiwei army as cavalry.
In sharp contrast is Zhang Jun. Zhang Jun also formed a Beiwei Army after Han Shizhong. Before that, it was led by Tian Shizhong. Later, after Tian Shizhong actually mastered many daily operations of the Royal Camp Right Army, these days Nian Cai gradually came to Zhang Zigai's hands...and this Beiwei army was a typical heavy armor and long ax army.
In addition, under the commander and under the commander, similar small-scale elite troops are usually selectively set up. Although there is no name for betraying the Wei Army, they actually have the reality of betraying the Wei Army.
However, later, when Yue Fei gained momentum and unified his entire army, the organized Beiwei Army was also a cavalry force. This resulted in two of the most famous and numerous Beiwei forces in the Imperial Army, whether in another historical time and space or at present. The Wei army are all cavalry, so it gives people the illusion that carrying the Wei army is equivalent to the cavalry of the Guards.
Moreover, even at the level of commander-in-chief, not everyone will set up large groups of personal guards. Wu Jie does not have this problem, but he will also habitually gather the crossbows and cavalry scattered in various ministries every time he fights.
The use of...'Garrison Arrow' specifically refers to this tactic of using the crossbows intensively and then taking turns to fire non-stop.
That day at Qiaoshan in Fangzhou, Wu Jie used this tactic to shoot through the foot of Tu Hesu, and made Sa Lihe cry when he was showing off his power on the opposite side.
As for the Destroy the Pioneer Army, it is actually a force that uses crossbows intensively in the Imperial Camp Left Army. Like the Beiwei Army, it is not a specific one, because the Destroy the Pioneer Army is also a common military call, but because the Imperial Camp Left Army
The leader of the army, Jie Yuan and Xie Shanshan, is an old brother of Han Shizhong whom he has known for decades when he was in the security army. He is also the deputy commander, and his treatment and training are not bad. He will not be absent every time there is a war.
It's just that it's been particularly well-known.
Heavy cavalry, heavy infantry and long ax soldiers, heavy armor and powerful crossbowmen...these elite troops in the Song army did not appear out of thin air. They were originally elite troops set up to target the Jurchen heavy cavalry. They originally used tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of Song troops.
The lives of soldiers are paid for by tuition.
It really doesn't matter what name you use.
"Kindness, I remember your family is here?" Han Shizhong held the bowl, slowly swallowed a mouthful of steamed buns, took another sip of mutton soup, and looked at Xie Yuan as if he was looking for something to say.
"Sixty miles." Jieyuan held the bowl and nodded towards the direction of the battle line due east. "Go along the Fen River, which is north of Luotuo Ridge and south of Fen River. I probably remember it belongs to Ji County."
"So close?" Han Shizhong was surprised for a moment.
"It's not close." Jie Yuan flipped the steamed buns with chopsticks... He put too many cakes in the pan... He had no choice but to answer. "I left home when I was a teenager and went to the Northern Shaanxi Security Army. I will join you at the age of twenty-six.
The deputy head of the capital took the family members over...perhaps they were relatives and acquaintances of the family that day, but if I hadn't come to the base, I wouldn't have remembered that this was the place."
Han Shizhong was silent for a moment.
And Jie Yuan took two more bites. When he saw Han Shizhong's appearance, he turned to him with a bowl and frowned: "Brother Five, what happened today? Could it be that after just a few years of rest, there is no blood left? Listen to me.
, what can we do now? We didn’t bring double armor... Even if we did, it would be too late, and they wouldn’t adapt..."
Han Shizhong shook his head: "That's what I said, but it would have been nice to have given these rebels more armor!"
The rebels wanted to hide in the mountains, and it was useless to give them armor at that time... You didn't know? And it wasn't you who gave the order just now? The order was wrong?
Pretending to be a Bodhisattva now?!
Jie Yuan was about to refute this, but he glanced at Han Shizhong who was lowering his head to eat steamed buns, and then glanced at the constantly moving east side. In the end, he remained silent and just continued to chew slowly and drink his mutton soup.
, eat his paochui cake.
In this way, the two men led the destroying army to eat slowly for about a quarter of an hour. The heavily armored Jin army had already reached the fence, which meant that the trench outside had been partially filled in, and the stone barrier had also been filled.
Having been breached, Gu Jishan's rebels were forced to retreat to the last layer of defense.
Zhang Heng, who was wearing a helmet that was obviously a little too big, ran over nervously. Han Shizhong had already returned to his normal expression, but handed the empty bowl to him: "This mutton soup is really good, please give Zhang Tongzhi some help."
I'll serve another bowl."
Zhang Hengmang took it with his blood-stained hands in confusion, then woke up and nodded seriously: "I want it!"
Immediately, he turned around and passed by.
As soon as the person left, Han Shizhong immediately looked sideways at Jie Yuan.
Xie Shanshan understood and did not get up. He directly gave the order to the officers beside him. After the officers passed it on layer by layer, the troops who destroyed the side forces began to put on armor and prepare bows, crossbows, arrows and other items on the spot.
After waiting for a while, Zhang Hengfu came over again with a bowl of mutton soup in both hands, while Han Shizhong took the hot soup without saying a word, then took the cooking cake from the basket next to him, tearing it open and soaking in the soup as usual... Bei Weijun started to eat.
They all learn from the same thing.
Zhang Heng saw that the other party was silent and saw that the soldiers below Jie Yuan began to put on their armor, but he hurried back to the front line without saying a word.
After another half-quarter of an hour, more and more Jin troops were seen arriving in front of the fence and began to try to destroy the fence. All the troops to destroy the enemy were also ready.
Han Shizhong glanced at Jie Yuan again, and then finally issued a new military order: "Don't put on the upper armor yet."
Jieyuan understood, nodded and left.
In the morning of early winter, the weather was slightly cold. The water vapor generated by large-scale cooking of mutton soup filled the sky and formed an aerosol. And just under the aerosol, as Jieyuan left, three thousand armored men
The fully-destroyed army immediately stood up under the leadership of officers from various departments, and then carried nearly a thousand powerful crossbows according to the combat order, carrying multiple crossbow barrels, in addition to some spearmen, sword and shield hands, and roared forward.
surge away.
This army may not be the most elite unit among the 300,000-strong imperial army, but it can be regarded as one of the most elite units of the Song Army anyway.
"I have known for a long time that these people should be the rebels in Guji Mountain."
At the same moment, Wanyan Salihe, who was supervising the battle from afar, held the reins of the war horse with both hands and showed disdain. "What is a suit of leather armor good for? If you don't hide in the mountains, how can you dare to stop my army on the road and use it?"
Han Shizhong came to scare me? The front is about to collapse, but the back is boiling water so frequently?"
Several Meng'an and Mouke agreed together.
This said, it was because there were so many wounded that they had to boil water to get arrows.
That said, this was a plan in the Song Dynasty's military manual to increase the number of stoves. It was originally planned to pretend that there was a large army behind them eating.
However, more people just disdain it.
In fact, there is no reason for this, because everyone knows what Sa Lihe said... When the Jurchens first conquered the two rivers, they didn't know how to rule them. On the other side of Hebei, the East Route Army simply enfeoffed Meng'an and conquered them.
An Mooke also had the power to govern, so Hebei seemed to regress to the slave era almost instantly, causing a large number of Hebei people regardless of class status to directly abandon their homes and businesses, either go up to the Taihang Mountains, or flee across Henan.
It also forced Wanyan Wu Qimai, the leader of the Jin Kingdom at the time, to issue a hasty decree to forcibly stop this historical reversal.
And here in Hedong, the military discipline of the West Route Army is better. It is indeed rare for the East Route Army to use Han people as betting chips, but Nianhan can't stand it. He is strict in his work... In his time, no businessman was allowed to go more than 100 meters in a day.
Thirty miles away, there is an order to shave one's hair, there is a theft of a penny, and even if one picks up a penny on the road, he will be executed.
All kinds of unbelievable temporary laws are basically more stringent than military law. However, the Han people in Yanyun who were assigned to serve as officials generally had a hatred of the Han people in Song Dynasty. They often used chicken feathers as arrows and tortured them in this way.
common people.
Under such circumstances, not only ordinary people but also powerful landowners could not stand it.
The so-called strict laws in Hedong, the enfeoffment of slaves in Hebei, and the forced population migration from northern Hebei and northeastern Hebei areas directly contributed to the outbreak of the Taihang rebellion at that time, and also made it impossible for the Jin army to rule effectively all year round. Two Rivers region.
Of course, this does not mean that there is any political reflection, but that the Jin Army and these rebels are old acquaintances. As soon as they see the equipment of these troops and listen to the accents of their orders and shouts, they immediately know where they come from.
That's why I disdain it.
However, there was also a Khitan Muke who couldn't help but express his doubts: "The rebels in Guji Mountain should be good, but don't the rebels know that they have no choice but to move around in the mountains, so how can they dare to stop them? I'm really not afraid of death. ?"
Sa Lihe sneered even more: "Ask me, who should I ask? Maybe I was forced by the Song Dynasty officials!"
"This is exactly what I mean." The Khitan Muke actually nodded.
Sa Lihe was stunned for a moment, then after thinking for a moment, he became serious: "Master slave, you want to say that these rebels in the valley and mountains may not come here willingly...or there are Song troops behind them who want to escape. Use officials and nobles to hold the leaders of these rebels and force them to block the attack, or someone is bluffing them and saying that there will be reinforcements?"
"Yes." Khitan Muke, who was called the Grand Master's slave, nodded. "This is the most likely, but there is another possibility... Wanhu, are there really elites from the Song Army's imperial camp here? The Song Army is also Should we think of sending an army to guard this place?"
"Impossible..." The person who interrupted this person was not Sa Lihe, but another Jurchen Meng'an who had just returned from the front line. "I just saw it clearly with my own eyes. All the efforts of this camp are in the trenches along the road. On the fence, looking from a distance inside, although the fog and dense fences make it difficult to see what's going on, you can still see that there are not even a few tents behind, which shows that the camp itself was hastily built... If there is really a main force hiding Behind, there are thousands of people, so why is this?"
"The scouts who traveled ten miles earlier this morning also said so." Another Jurchen officer spoke up, verifying this statement. "They said that the Song army was small in number, their equipment was messy, and their camps were empty. Only the fences and trenches in the main road were there. It’s long enough to completely block our march route…”
Sa Lihe nodded slightly.
"What the general means is that there are some main forces of the Song Army's imperial camp, but they are not large in number, so let the rebels in the mountains come to die first... This will make us careless and underestimate the enemy, and it also means to lure us deeper." The Taishinu said. Finally, he became impatient and expressed his worries in one breath. "Then they suddenly went out to fight and caused casualties..."
"So you want to bring me mutton soup and cooking cakes in the name of Han Shizhong first?" Sa Lihe interrupted, thoughtfully. "We were caught off guard and suffered casualties. We just thought Han Shizhong had really arrived. Isn’t it possible that we will retreat in frustration here?”
Many other meng'an and Muke also thought about it for a moment, and many people nodded accordingly.
The Khitan Muke, who was called the Grand Master's slave, wanted to speak, but unexpectedly his superior, the Khitan Meng'an, who was called Yelu Yizhen, laughed at the situation and said:
"Taishunu is just guessing after all. Judging from the general situation, ten thousand households are right in ten cases. Just think about the empty city strategy in the Han people's stories... If you think about it, we will know this time through the capital. The rebel army in Gujishan might be able to detect the cover of (Pu Lisu) and then rush from the rear, but how could the main force of the Song Army's imperial camp know?"
"Yelu Yizhen is right." Sa Li laughed. "And even so, it's useless... If he talks about Wang Sheng, Xu Shi'an, or Wu Jie on the other side, I won't
We can still trust him, but we should not bring Han Shizhong out to scare us... Firstly, we know better than him where Han Shizhong is. Secondly, Han Shizhong is a famous general in the world, a dignified marshal, and the so-called number one in the Song Army.
How can you stop me in person? He is probably just an ignorant leader of the rebel army, a strong country man, who doesn’t understand anything, so he just talks nonsense."
Yelu Yizhen hurriedly laughed with her again, and the others also followed suit.
The Taishinu was helpless, knowing that this army was generally Jurchen and half Khitan, which made him feel embarrassed, and Yelu Yizhen was protecting him... but he could only laugh twice.
But before the laughter subsided, a shout was heard from the front line, followed by intensive screams, followed by screams, neighs, gongs and drums, shouts of death, and cheers one after another.
The final finishing touch was a neat bunch of roaring sounds that broke through the sky.
It didn't take much combat experience for these Jin Army officers to realize what was going on, because there was no cover on the road, and the tragic images in front of the fence in the distance were clearly visible, and even crossbow bolts that defeated the enemy's bows flew directly to them.
It's only a few dozen steps away.
The chaos lasted for a while. Seeing that the main force of the Jin Army in front was in chaos, but because of military discipline, they did not dare to retreat without permission. After another round of crossbow bolts that defeated the enemy's bow, the Jin Army officers watching the battle from behind woke up from a dream——
The frontline commander was likely to be sniped immediately.
Immediately, a Meng'an quickly jumped forward on his horse, blew his horn, and temporarily took over the command. The chaos on the front line stopped for a while, but the offensive also came to an end.
The soldiers of the Jin Army hurriedly retreated to prepare, and hundreds of Jin Army's wounded soldiers were carried down. Wails were heard in all directions, and Sa Li drank. The generals were stunned, but they couldn't help but look at the Tai Tai
Master slave.
The Grand Master's slave opened his mouth to speak, but in the end he couldn't say a word - with the current casualties, he would rather he didn't make the right decision.
However, Jin Jun still has some fighting qualities.
Some officers had already risked their lives to pry forward, while others took advantage of the situation to interrogate the soldiers who had retreated, and quickly came to a conclusion.
After all, laymen watch the excitement, while experts watch the door. Unlike the cheering Gu Jishan rebels, the Jin Army had already seen the number of crossbows, the neatness of the launches, and the intervals between the launches from the three salvos just now.
They even noticed the landing points of the Song Army's three volleys, all of which were tactically optimal.
Therefore, the answer is ready to come out - the Song Army not only has its main force stationed here at Fenshuikou, but it is definitely an elite force.
After realizing this, the generals of the Jin army went to see Sa Lihe.
Sa Lihe's face was livid and he was standing there on horseback, but he actually wanted to retreat in his heart... Because these three rounds of volleys instinctively reminded him of the Battle of Qiaoshan and Wu Jie's garrison arrows.
The scene of constant arrows and arrows raining down, but the elite of the Jin Army could not make an inch forward and could only be beaten passively, with constant casualties, has long been like a nightmare, and has been engraved in the hearts of thousands of households in the Jin Army who originally had a bright future.
Of course, reason reminded Sa Lihe that even if the Song army was waiting for an elite crossbow unit here, and even judging from the fact that these people did not have copper faces, a unique symbol of Han Shizhong's tribe, they might really be old rivals on the other side of the Yellow River.
Wu Jie has gathered the elite troops who were stationed there that day, and it will not be like the battle at Qiaoshan.
In that battle, the Song army had an absolute geographical advantage. It was so high up that the Jin army had to feign an attack. The roads were narrow so that the Jin army could only advance intensively. Moreover, the hills were rugged with strange rocks, and there was a state city across the river to attack from the top of the hill.
.
Moreover, there are tens of thousands of the main force of the Song Army lingering ahead, and Lou Shi is in poor health, making it impossible for the Jin Army to look after each other, but what about now?
With such a wide road, flat terrain, and two hundred thousand households gathered together to form a solid one hundred cavalry, it would be ridiculous if they were scared away after just touching it!
By then, even if the fourth prince had arrived at Jingxing, he might not be able to save him from Ba Lisu's anger.
You have to fight seriously!
Sa Li shouted to calm down, then sat upright on his horse and gave repeated orders, but he pointed out a close confidant, Jurchen Meng'an, to take over as the frontal commander, and took over the first wave of attack with thirty troops to defeat three thousand cavalry.
troops and horses, and continue to maintain the offensive.
Then, they urgently separated out 1,500 horsemen, dismounted and entered the hilly area south of the battlefield, trying to bypass the fence and attack from the side and rear.
This is not a Tieling Pass, but a passage on the south bank of the Fen River. It is only a matter of time before we go around it.
At the same time, of course, we cannot forget the mean-mouthed Khitan slave who tried to defeat the Grand Master. Because of this person's involvement, Yelu Yizhen's Meng'an was appointed as the vanguard of the flanking bypass.
In the end, it was inevitable that people would quickly go behind them to cut down trees and collect firewood, boil water on the spot with buckets, and help the wounded soldiers take out the crossbow bolts.
Although it was a bit hasty, I have to say that Sa Lihe's arrangement was still in place.
From top to bottom, the Jin Army quickly stabilized their mentality and tried to continue the attack.
However, from this point on, they must pay a real and continuous price of casualties. The enemy-defeating bow and the divine arm bow that can shoot through the armor within a hundred steps are not just decorations.
"The Jin Army is indeed no longer what it used to be."
After the Jin army launched another wave of attacks, Jieyuan returned from the front line to report, but did not mention the specific military situation.
"how to say?"
Han Shizhong sat on the ground holding an empty bowl, beside Zhang Heng who had just withdrawn.
"If back then, even if the Jin people were just feigning an attack, they would rush forward after a military order, regardless of casualties, and we would often be crushed by the Jin army." Jie Yuan frowned. "But in this current situation, the Jin army can't even be said to be facing the front.
It was a feint attack, but after they saw the friendly troops walking towards the flank, they already started to deal with it..."
Han Shizhong seemed to be a little nervous at last: "You won't fill in the trenches, and you won't push down the stone barriers and fences?"
"I only fill the trenches and push the stone barriers, but I don't want to get close to the fence." Jie Yuan shook his head in reply.
"Being hit by crossbows at a distance is not the same thing as being hit at a distance. It's human nature." Han Shizhong was relieved. "When I fought with the Jin people, I felt weird...why the Jin people were so brave and fearless of death.
, are so brave to fight and kill? And why are we all so timid that we flee in the face of the wind? Now it seems that Jin people are also human beings. Over time and thinking too much, we will also be afraid of death and difficulties. We
The more you experience and the more you think, the less absurd you will be...but you are still a human being, and you are not as strict as the newspapers say, and you will inevitably make mistakes."
"If we had the military pay and armaments we have now, how could we have lost two rivers?" Jie Yuan finally sneered. "As for making mistakes and not making mistakes... Anyone who says something unpleasant is the one who dared to serve the country.
The dead loyal ministers and good generals were all heroes. With the situation becoming more and more relaxed now, don't we have to fight for seats and give priority? Otherwise, if the deceased is worshiped on the mountain platform, the incense will be sacrificed. "
"You're right, it's not time to tolerate each other for the sake of the country." Han Shizhong thought for a moment, nodded slightly, but then slowly shook his head after glancing at Zhang Heng beside him who was obviously speechless. "But the two rivers have not recovered after all.
, it’s not the time to rest either… Zhang Tongzhi!”
"exist."
"First dismantle the fence on the north side, then go to the east and wait to clear the ground of the camp and prepare. When the Jin army coming around from the north is repelled, I will give you the military order. You can take action and pull down the fence in front of you.
We have to push down our own stone fortifications and fill our own trenches! We also need to allocate manpower to help the Beiwei army guard their horses!"
"I know!" Zhang Heng responded quickly. After a while, seeing that the other party was silent, he carefully asked again. "Is there anything else your Majesty wants me to do?"
"Go and serve me another bowl of soup. There are no more cakes. Find one specially for me." Han Shizhong handed the empty bowl to the other party, his expression as usual. "I have always had a big appetite..."
Zhang Heng was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly went to get the bowl.
Han Shizhong finally spoke to Cheng Minnu, the commander of the Beiwei Army who had already eaten. The latter understood and took action immediately.
The sun is gradually rising. Although this battle is an encounter, the Jin army needs to wear armor before the battle, and then they attack the front and give up halfway. However, they rely on the flanking troops to bypass the rugged terrain on the north to break the defense line.
, I was prepared to launch a pincer attack at that time, but it wasted a lot of time.
When Zhang Hengbu hurriedly knocked down the simple camp on the side and turned to the east again, there was only one King Han Shizhong in the entire camp. He was still sitting calmly in the camp, eating his fourth bowl of mutton soup cakes.
.
This time, he ate very, very slowly, but even so, when the bottom of the bowl reached the bottom, he saw the Jin army attacking from the north.
Under the sunny day, the morning moisture dispersed, making the field of vision gradually clearer, and causing smoke and dust to gradually roll up from the ground in the battle area.
However, when the vanguard of the Jin Army who dismounted and circled around the ravines and hills, emerged from a ravine, covered with mud and fallen leaves, they saw the Song Army's camp appeared in front of them, and they had a clear view, but they were all on the spot.
Shocked and dumbfounded - inside the Song Army's camp with the side fences removed, three thousand fully armed soldiers with bronze faces were arranged in neat rows, sitting in front of them, and in the camp behind them, including the rear of the camp.
The entire camp was filled with no less than six or seven thousand war horses and livestock!
"It's the Beiwei Army!"
A few simple elements, plus the bowl of soup before, made the leader of the Khitan Meng Anyelu Yizhen almost blurt out. "The front is to destroy the partial army! Han Shizhong is really here!"
"Start the war!"
Cheng Min did not hesitate, stood up immediately, drew his sword and pointed north, speaking concisely, "Go forward! Kill!"
The surrounding officers immediately waved their flags and conveyed military orders. However, when the three thousand Beiwei troops fighting on foot saw that the military orders had been issued, they formed a neat formation and rushed forward to attack the Jin army that was attacking chaotically from the flanks.
"Master slave, go back!"
At the critical moment, when the Song army shouted to kill, Yelu Yizhen, the Jin army who arrived first, had no time to sigh and turned back to the Taishinu beside him and ordered. "Let the two fierce men behind not come over and die.
Then quickly retreat back to the original route and tell thousands of households that Han Shizhong is really here! The troops who are carrying the Wei army and the troops who are destroying the side are all here, and nothing can be stolen in the river!"
After saying that, before the Grand Master's slave could react, he shouted with all his strength, then drew his sword and charged towards the top elites of the Song Army who were several times his own.
The Taishi Nu was obviously startled and wanted to chase after him, but he turned around and looked around at the few hundred people who had arrived earlier. However, they were all in scattered formations. They had to climb over the ravines and hills to get here, and only a small half of them followed his Meng'an and rushed over.
Most of them had a look of fear on their faces and hesitated, but in the end they stamped their feet, turned around and got back into the ravine.
With more strikes and less, waiting for work, and with the psychological shock prepared in advance, Han Shizhong didn't even look at the flank battle. He just pretended to be holding the already bottomed out mutton soup bowl and drank non-stop... He didn't know what he was drinking.
What on earth is it... Anyway, it is enough to make everyone who sees this scene feel emboldened.
At the same time that the shouts of killing suddenly rang out from the north of the camp, the Jin Army finally launched another strong attack on the frontal front due east.
Don’t have money to read novels? I’ll give you cash or coins, and you can get it for one day only! Follow the public account [Book Friends Base Camp] and get it for free!
Thousands of Jin troops, under the command of their respective officers, kept coming and going, wearing heavy armor, charging forward in waves.
The already dilapidated stone barriers were completely pushed down, and the ravines were filled in. Thick Jurchen heavy arrows were fired intensively, intersecting with the Song army's crossbow arrows in the air.
Within a moment, a small group of Jin Army knights on horseback approached the fence. From a closer distance, they began to engage the Song Army closely with heavy arrows using mounted archery.
The heavy armored crossbow troops of the Song Army that suddenly surged forward began to suffer proportional casualties.
"Wait a moment."
Jie Yuan, who was standing on a hastily piled up platform behind the fence, looked back at Han Shizhong, who was sitting there drinking air, and then at Cheng Minbu, who had just turned around from the north, then turned around and ordered. "Wait a little longer above.
First!"
"hold on……"
A few hundred steps away, Wanyan Salihe looked away from the front line and lowered his head to look at the Grand Master's slave in front of him who hurriedly came back to give him advice. "Wait a minute... Maybe Yelu Yizhen made a mistake... The frontal offensive is obviously going well!
"
The Taishinu raised his head with a look of sadness and anger on his face: "Does Wanhu not believe in us because we are Khitan people?"
"How could Han Shizhong be here?" Sa Lihe didn't listen well and hurriedly explained, but he didn't know who he was explaining to. "He even noticed the movement of us passing behind Dutong, and then came over immediately, and he also wanted to go from there.
How could the person who took the detour over to Hezhong Mansion arrive before us? Again, could it be that he flew here?!"
The Taishinu was angry and anxious. He stood up and stood there, almost gnashing his teeth. The surrounding Jin Army officers had no choice but to look at the main battlefield ahead. Some even became so impatient that they could not restrain themselves and rode forward to observe.
However, the results of the observation were exactly as Sa Lihe said. Although there were constant casualties at the front, the offensive was indeed going smoothly. More and more waves of Jin Army attacks had directly touched the most important fence on that layer.
And that layer of fence was also shaky, and it seemed that it might be overwhelmed at any time, and then the cavalry could follow the trend and massacre these Song troops on the road.
"Han Shizhong did it on purpose!"
The imperial slave also gritted his teeth and looked at the smoke and dust on the front line for a while, but then he seemed to suddenly think of something and went straight to hug Sa Li's horse's neck. "Wanhu, Han Shizhong is doing the same thing as the fourth prince did in Huaishang that day.
A battle!”
"What?" Sa Lihe was confused.
"We want to rush over and let the cavalry pass by, so we have to destroy and pave the way along the way!" Taishinu hurriedly explained from his horse. "So Han Shizhong sat still and wanted to wait for us to take casualties while paving the way.
, so that the Wei army behind him can rush out! Then they meet on a narrow road and rush us back!"
"If you want to charge through the narrow road with your back to the Wei army, why do you spend so much energy to build a base in a hurry?" Sa Lihe was also a little angry, and directly poked the opponent's pocket with a riding crop. "Tai Shinu, you follow me alone.
Yelu Yu saw a sinner who fled to Xixia and came back. If Yelu Yizhen hadn't recommended you out of old friendship, and Yelu Mawu was a soft-hearted man, how could he have allowed you to continue hanging out in the army... In the end, you were talking nonsense.
what?!"
The master's slave became more and more anxious after hearing this, but he let go of the horse's neck and spun around in circles several times. Then he suddenly realized:
"With ten thousand households, the Song army must be divided into two groups. One is the rebel army that blocks the attack and sets up a base here; the other is Han Shizhong who leads the troops on his back and defeats the enemy. The two armies rushed to help, but because they were exhausted, they simply used suspicious soldiers.
The plan is to let us tie the bases for them while we rest and eat in the back... and look calm!"
After Sa Lihe listened in confusion, he thought for a moment, but instinctively maintained his objection: "It's still wrong... If we destroy the partial army, why don't we see the copper surface?!"
"What?" Taishi Nu didn't understand the other party's thinking for a moment.
"I mean, the crossbowman who blocked us face to face obviously didn't have a copper face. He was clearly the crossbowman that Wu Jie hastily mobilized..." Sa Lihe seemed to have found some incredible argument, and seemed to have refuted the other party's suggestion.
What achievement rewards are generally urgent.
"So what?!" This time it was either the Grand Master's slave, or a Jurchen Meng'an next to him also came to his senses. "Wanhu! Is the crossbowman in front of me Wu Jie's garrison arrow or Han Shizhong's enemy force?
What's the difference?"
"If it's a garrison attack, it's not about destroying the partial army, or it's pretending to be Han Shizhong from behind..." Sa Lihe quickly explained.
"It's just a copper surface, you can wear it at any time!" After half-hearing, the master's slave finally became furious.
Sa Lihe was finally stunned.
But the Taishinu was still angry: "Wanhu, don't you understand? Starting from that bowl of soup, Han Shizhong did it on purpose, just to make you not believe that he came here in person, so that later he would rush out with the Wei army on his back,
You're afraid you'll panic and won't dare to fight!"
Just as Sa Lihe was about to say something more, he suddenly heard a loud bang on the front line. It was the Song Army's crossbow arrows that suddenly became denser for some unknown reason, forcing the Jin Army back as a whole, and there seemed to be something else to say.
Soon, a soldier came in a hurry and reported face to face: "Wanhu, the Song army suddenly all put on their visors, all with dark red copper faces. My family Meng'an asked me to tell you, Han Shizhong must have destroyed them in person."
The partial army...make a decision quickly and be careful!"
After saying this, Muke galloped back again.
When Meng An Mooke heard this, they all had unkind expressions on their faces. They all stared at Sa Lihe and the Taishi Nu who were dismounted. The Taishi Nu didn't say a word, with a serious look on his face.
At that moment, he was actually stunned on the spot. His hands and feet felt cold, his mind was empty, and his words seemed to be choked.
But at least I didn't cry again.
“Great soup!”
At this bustling time hundreds of steps away, in the empty camp, Han Shizhong handed the soup bowl to Zhang Heng, then put on his robe, buckled his armor buckle, and calmly got on his horse. The people around him had already turned back.
, but then he mounted his horse again, put on his spear, and lined up to prepare for the military order.
"That's it." After taking a look at the Beiwei Army knights around him, Han Shizhong took out the copper mask from his waist, covered it on the spot, and then spoke to Zhang Heng again.
When Zhang Heng heard the military order, he did not go to deliver it in person, and there were no horns, gongs or drums. He just raised the already dried soup bowl in his hand and made a downward motion in the air.
Immediately, the Gu Jishan rebels, who had been well prepared, dragged the rope and used all their strength to pull.
Then there was a thumping sound that resounded throughout the river valley, bringing up countless amounts of smoke and dust.
Han Shizhong didn't say anything. He just reined in his horse with one hand and took out his spear with the other and threw off the latch. Then he rushed towards Yanchen. The surrounding guards rushed up to his retinue. Then, without Cheng Min's order, the three thousand Beiwei troops who mounted their horses rushed in.
Go up and charge eastward with your own prince.
Let's say that there was a thumping sound before, which stirred up countless smoke and dust. Beyond the smoke and dust, the Jin army was still at a loss. They heard the rumble of horse hooves, followed by the shouts of cheers from an unknown number of people, and even the enemy's bow.
, the divine arm bow took advantage of the situation and fired multiple times, becoming even more panicked.
Unexpectedly, then, the iron cavalry with bronze armor and golden spears, like arrows leaving their strings, pierced through the billowing smoke and dust, coming towards me from west to east, just like thunderbolts.
Such and such, but he is still an individual, how can he take advantage of this situation?!
By the Fenshui River, within the smoke and dust, these frontline Jin troops believed for a moment earlier than Sa Lihe that Han Shizhong was here!
A few hundred steps away, although the smoke and dust ahead made it difficult to see the specific situation, the rumble of the horses' hooves was enough to make Sa Lihe suddenly wake up. Then thousands of Jin troops fled in panic, hurriedly seizing the horses and retreating, saying that they were backing the Wei army.
, or calling him Han Shizhong, made him completely awaken.
They met on a narrow road, and the former army had been defeated. When this happened, Sa Li looked at the Taishi slave in front of him who was already holding a weapon, turned around, hit his horse and left.
The Grand Master's slave was stunned, and he looked to the east and then to the northeast, but when he saw the smoke and dust rolling in, he could only turn his horse's head and go away.
"Jie Yuan!"
In another incident, Han Shizhong had already overwhelmed the Jin army's foot knights who were caught off guard, but he did not rush to kill them. Instead, he directly turned to the general direction of Jieyuan before and shouted in the smoke and dust. "It's done!"
"Here! I saw it!" Jie Yuan quickly replied loudly. "Fifth brother, please give the order!"
"Tell the Zhanjun troops to go back and mount their horses! Follow us!"
Through the smoke and dust, Han Shizhong's voice was like thunder and lightning, penetrating everything. "You are close to the road. I, Han Wu, will take you home first today!"
The smoke and dust billowed eastward, and after the smoke and the copper surface, it took a long time to solve the problem.
