As the predetermined strategic state was achieved, the Song army in front of the highland and stone bridge did not hesitate to face the main force of 40,000 people. They immediately crossed the river in a large scale according to the division of more than ten control departments under the governor of the imperial camp's military commander Li Yanxian.
At the same time, the Jin army on the high ground did not hesitate. According to the predetermined plan, four ten thousand households gathered on the high ground under the command of Wanyan Benjian, the commander of the marching department of Longde Prefecture of Jin State, and then launched a huge,
The huge military formation covering the entire highland pressed down towards the Taiping River in front, in order to achieve the predetermined tactical goal of "killing as much as possible the Song army crossing the river".
However, just when the huge troop movements of both sides were just beginning, Wang De, the left deputy commander of the Royal Camp's Central Army who had crossed the river first, seized the opportunity and successfully killed the Jin Army's veteran General Ali - this directly led to
Ali's troops, who were just short of a withdrawal order and were about to turn back to the highlands, fell into command chaos. In addition, after another ten thousand servants scattered and betrayed Lu Sangzi, they were in a fierce mood, violated the tactical arrangements and the actual battle situation, and forced a counterattack, but failed.
This also early caused the department to become strong on the outside but shaken on the inside.
Therefore, as the Song army crossed the river and an outflanking force was formed, the Ali tribe and Pusanbei Lu tribe were immediately defeated, and the Jin army's river front collapsed directly.
Of course, this did not delay Wanyan Benjian, who was on the high ground. At this time, according to the original military strategy, he came down to the heavy infantry group of the Song Army and collided hard... However, their first task was never to kill the Song Dynasty crossing the river as much as possible.
"Army" has become "trying to catch up with the defeated troops" and "maintain the front line and protect the high ground".
However, only a quarter of an hour later, all senior officers on the battlefield realized that the so-called tactical mission was a joke.
The Jin army was like this, and the Song army was like this.
It should be known that with the collapse of the Jin Army's river front, the over 10,000 Song Army Dangxiang Qingqi who tried to stop and annihilate the enemy between the two heavy army groups immediately mixed with the same number of broken Jin Army troops, forming a long strip.
It was a long, complex melee-shaped belt, and this long belt went westward and directly connected to the Western Front battlefield that had been fighting for a whole morning and was gradually becoming more and more intertwined.
When this happened, Li Yanxian and Wanyan Ben saw the two heavy-armed groups colliding fiercely in front of the high ground. Not only did they not have the grand victory and life-and-death fight they imagined, but all the order and order on the battlefield instantly failed.
.
The frontline troops of both sides were immediately involved in the melee area in the middle. The organization of the frontline troops was also dispersed to a certain extent, and the command systems of both sides were semi-paralyzed. However, the military formations of both sides were so huge.
As a result, a kind of inertia was created both physically and in the command system, causing the follow-up troops from both sides to continuously press into the Chinese melee area, and then the melee area continued to expand.
Not only that, once this kind of melee reaches a large scale, it will quickly move westward, constantly pulling in the Western Front battlefield that originally maintained order.
To be fair, this situation was anticipated before.
Before the war, senior officers on both sides had realized that no one had ever fought such a battle. No one had deployed so many combat troops in one day on such a local battlefield with a radius of dozens of miles. Who could
Neither of them has this kind of combat experience...The failure of command and fighting independently are things that both sides publicly emphasized before the war.
However, no one thought that this scene would happen so quickly, and no one thought that this chaos would be so huge and uncontrollable.
As frontline commanders, Li Yanxian and Wanyan Benjian were almost in a state of confusion. Then they quickly realized that the outcome of this battle would be out of their control to a considerable extent, and would be left to the commander and the fierce men.
Anmen, even further, are decided by the commander, battalion commander, commander, as well as Mou Ke and Pu Liyan.
The two sides really have to use a method that is fragmented and divorced from the art of command, but is probably the best way to reflect the combat strength of both sides to determine the outcome of the main battlefield. After all, in this case, the only way to win this small-scale battle is to win the battle.
Only the side with more forces will form irreversible front suppression and achieve the predetermined tactical goal.
After realizing this, a complex emotion arose in Li Yanxian and Wanyan Benjian at the same time... It was a mixture of relief and relief, at the same time a little depressed and uneasy, and even vaguely panic and fear.
The only difference is that the internal proportions of these emotions are slightly different between the two.
The rain became more intensive, and the battlefield noise suddenly increased a lot, which in turn made the command system and scout feedback further ineffective.
"marshal."
Amidst the noise of the battlefield, Wanyan Wushu, whose face was covered with water, finally climbed down from the watchtower, and then spoke to Bali Susu, who was sitting cross-legged in the mud below the watchtower, but stopped talking.
Obviously, Wu Shu had learned about the battle situation ahead from the frontline generals, and he was determined to do something, but he knew full well that in fact he could not do anything.
By the same token, Ba Lisu raised his head and glanced at the other party, but did not respond... There are some words that there is no need to say in public.
However, this does not mean that the Marshal of the Jin Kingdom has nothing to do. He looked up at the sky to observe the rain, then took out a dagger from his waist and dug it up in the mud where the rain kept falling.
of soil.
Wu Shu understood it almost instantly and couldn't help but take two steps forward to take a look: "How?"
"Two inches deep of mud, three inches deep of wet and soft soil, and below that there is dry soil." Ba Lisu put away his dagger, turned his head and answered calmly. "And if the rain is going to be the same as in the morning, then wait until
Before evening, I am afraid there will be four to five inches of water on the grass. The water on the grass will be very dangerous. It may be deeper, but as long as it does not become a puddle, it will not collapse easily... However, according to the current situation, the water should have accumulated long ago.
You have to go through a lot of mud."
"Would that delay our cavalry's attack?" Wu Shu looked a little impatient.
Ba Lisu shook his head, allowing Wu Shu to relax for a while, but soon, a series of unhurried words from the Marshal of the Kingdom of Jin made His Highness the King of Wei continue to fall into a sense of powerless irritability:
"King Wei, this is not about the intensity of the rain at all. Not to mention the current situation, it is heavier rain, worse muddy ground, and faster river water. Many people in the army have experienced it. It is nothing more than...
The horse speed is slower, and the injuries caused by slipping are more... Haven't we ever sent troops among the white mountains and black waters, and the ice and snow in winter? But the problem today is that there are too many soldiers, and the battlefield is out of control. No one knows so many situations.
What will be the result of superposition? I am afraid that when the last 25,000 cavalry rush out, they will only have time to issue a military order, and they will directly fight on their own, and they will not be able to rush into the second round."
Wu Shu sighed, then suddenly turned around and pulled out a horse from under the wooden shed in the camp. Seeing this, the Taishi slaves and other personal guards did not dare to neglect, and they all followed suit.
"What's the use of King Wei going to the front line at this time?" Ba Lisu stood up immediately after seeing this, but just sat back in the wooden shed without rain with his face as usual. "Even if you want to inspire people, this is not the time to go... Wait for Ma Wu
It won’t be too late to discuss sending troops with good offices.”
"I don't want to show off my power, nor do I want to seize Benjian's command. I really can't sit still and want to go to the high ground to see the battle with my own eyes!" Wu Shu blurted out as he got on his horse.
"Then don't bring the flag." Pulling Li Su was helpless.
"I know." Wu Shu blurted out.
"After you go, don't come back here. Go to the Huo Nu Village on the left." Bali Su continued to speak calmly.
Wushu was finally startled, but nodded heavily - he knew what Ba Lisu meant. Wanyan Huonv and many Song generals on the battlefield had the hatred of killing their fathers, and they had always had issues with this marshal. In other words
, the living girl is likely to disobey the command and go into battle early, which will most likely have a devastating result in the war.
After nodding, Wu Shu, without saying a word, immediately rode out of the camp and headed for the high ground. But just a moment later, he had reached the high ground directly from behind the safe and unobstructed high ground.
However, in the rain, Wu Shu did not alarm the commanders. He just stood on a high slope somewhere in the highland surrounded by his personal guards, and then looked around on this slope that had been trampled into some mud.
Take a moment to observe.
However, this observation did not make the ruling prince of Dajin feel relieved or relaxed, because although the entire battlefield was still chaotic at this time, there were some clues about the trend of the war situation - there is no doubt that Song Dynasty
The army continues to advance.
Of course, this is also expected.
You know, Wu Shu was certainly surprised by the overall collapse of Ali's tribe, and at the same time he was mentally prepared for the collapse of Pusanbei Lu's tribe, but this surprise and understanding were both microscopic and targeted psychological activities... It was actually Mr. Ali who
Dead? Isn’t Pusanbeilu always stable? In fact, from a macro perspective, before this battle began, Wushu had reached a consensus with many veteran generals and military staff. That is, there will definitely be losses in today’s battle.
The tragedy must be due to the strength and morale of the Song army, which has a considerable advantage in the battle. It is certain that famous generals on one's own side will lose their lives, and even the entire army will lose its troops.
In fact, there is definitely a realization that the whole army will be defeated here and everything will be lost.
However, no matter how bad it was, it was the feeling that it was all expected that made Wu Shu feel a little frustrated and uneasy.
Because he asked himself that he had really tried his best in this battle.
After learning that his brother died of a sudden illness on the front line in Hebei, he acted decisively and entrusted the rear to his elder brother Wanyan Oben. He personally went to the front line and worked hard to gather military morale, integrate the troops, search for logistics, mobilize the troops, and resolutely
Provide support and encouragement to quickly launch relevant strategies and tactics.
However, Yue Fei's operations in front of Daming Mansion greatly damaged his army and made him realize that the army's combat effectiveness was not what it used to be. Wang Bolong's entire army was wiped out, which made him even more frightened. He realized from the bottom of his heart that the Song Army's Northern Expedition was likely to end.
The most serious consequences. The final scene of Taiyuan City and Yuancheng being defeated together directly caused the main force of the Jin Army to lose the last trace of strategic initiative.
Looking back, the most difficult thing for Wu Shu to accept is that although both sides obviously acted in a hurry, the Song Army, which only had a ten-day advantage in the whole process, still had all the opportunities to move the gold.
Everything about the army was in his hands... From the dispatch of troops to the decisive battle, the Song army did not give him any chance to breathe.
All actions are constrained by time, geography, and logistics constraints.
This suffocating sense of aggression is too difficult for people to adapt to, and the Zhao Song official's method of quietly playing with the world is too shocking.
Wu Shu looked toward the northeast in the direction of Huolu City. The intelligence told him that the Longhu of Zhao Guan's family was there. Although it was far away and blocked by rain lines, it was impossible to see clearly, but the fourth prince of the Jin Kingdom could still feel it.
There is a crouching tiger crouching everywhere, and it is so menacing that it is about to bite you in one leap.
Again, he tried his best. So far, God has not clearly favored anyone. This is a fair battle, and the final winner of the battle has not yet been thrown.
But it's too excruciating.
On the other side of the Taiping River, Zhao Jiu had unknowingly downed half a bottle of wine, so that his face was slightly smoky... After the battle on the front slope of the highland descended into a full-scale melee, he began to unknowingly increase the frequency of pouring and drinking for himself.
Obviously, visible to the naked eye, the Song Army had an advantage... The Jin Army lost the front line along the river, and the organized group lost 20,000 households. It could only rely on the advantage of the highlands to resist, while the Song Army responded with 100,000 people against six
Wanhu, especially since it was not yet noon at this time, the morale, military spirit, and physical strength of both sides were still strong, so there was no reason not to suppress the Jin army.
However, Zhao Jiu was still uneasy and terrified.
Because his shallow military experience told him that as this kind of melee continues, under the influence of rain, mud and armor, the physical strength of both sides will be lost rapidly. Once a point is passed, large-scale casualties will quickly appear.
And the speed of appearance will be faster and faster. What's even more terrible is that although there is no precise information yet, Zhao Jiu is still sure that just like his own side, the Jin Army must still have a large number of fresh troops that have not yet entered the battle.
At that time, every time both sides invest new forces, there will be large-scale casualties in waves of organized casualties. Such casualties will be severe and irrespective of each other.
Reason told Zhao Jiu that the Song Army had the upper hand in the war. Even if both sides had to make a mess in the end, he would have a greater chance of winning.
However, this does not mean that Zhao Jiu does not feel suffering and fear, especially since he needs to sit here, almost as an outsider, with a blurred vision to observe and wait for the progress of the battle.
Lu Yihao and Liu Yan have also been silent for a long time.
Time passed little by little, and noon arrived. With the help of more and more reinforcements from the Western Front, the Song Army formation in front of the high ground finally occupied one-third of the entire high ground through bloody melee and the expulsion of large-scale defeated troops.
For a while, Wu Shu did not force him to stay, but followed Bali Su's request and turned around to go to Huo Nu's camp.
Soon after he left, Wanyan Benjian began to implement the planned preparation strategy. On the one hand, he ordered the troops to shrink and consolidate their formations, and on the other hand, he gathered the troops on the western front and retreated, in order to continue to control the high ground and protect the camp behind him.
However, this action inevitably put the Sudoku Speed Unit located at the corner of the battle line into a dangerous situation.
"General Huyan!"
At the same corner of the battle line, a embarrassed Khitan knight came from the south and finally found Huyantong. However, he did not dismount and just spoke anxiously. "I am the messenger of General Yelu. I have been here several times before..."
"Speak directly!" Hu Yantong, who was shirtless and wrapping a wound on his arm under a flag, scolded him coldly without raising his head.
"Yes!" the Khitan messenger did not dare to neglect. "The front line of Jiagu Wuli is out of touch with the front line of Tuhesu. It is obvious that they are about to retreat. Most of General Chen Jue has been involved, and General Dong Min is obviously involved.
I'm afraid that He Shilie Taiyu's ten thousand households will also withdraw, and he has already tried to outflank Prince Tuoli. My general asked me to ask whether he will go in with the others now or stay to help you end the sudden attack.
?Also, do you want to inform General Xu Shian and ask him to come to our aid and capture Tuhesu quickly?"
"How many troops are there on the southern flank of Tuhesu?"
"Three to four thousand..." the Khitan messenger responded with all his strength. "It's just an approximation. Most of the infantry have spears and most of the cavalry have war hammers. The formation is very stable."
"Let your general go and work hard to move forward with other ministries. Leave me three thousand light cavalry to watch and seize the south wing of Tuhesu. When I personally capture the northern wing where Tuhesu is, I will sweep away with these three thousand cavalry."
South Wing..." At this point, Hu Yantong paused for a moment, then gritted his teeth. "I, Hu Yantong, will personally resolve the sudden and sudden issue. The prince also personally promised me, what should I ask Lao Xu to do? I won't even do it.
None of the deputies behind the sudden speed change shouted."
The messenger knew that the other party was upset because of what happened a few days ago, and now heard Han Shizhong's words of advice, so he didn't say much, just responded, and then rode back to Yelu Yu to see him.
As soon as the opponent left, Hu Yantong, who had bandaged his wounds, couldn't wait to ask his personal guards to help put on the armor. A moment later, he put on the armor again and then personally led his troops to launch another round of offensive on the north wing where Tu Hesu himself was located.
Seeing Hu Yantong's flag coming over again, under General Tuhe's flag, the exhausted Jurchen general just sighed slightly, and then was not in a hurry to command the troops to move forward. Instead, he looked around on his horse to observe the situation.
But what is there to observe right now?
You must know that although the field of vision is restricted and the battlefield is chaotic, it is still clear that the Jin army is shrinking. It is natural that the headquarters located in the corner will be surrounded on three sides. Jieyuan behind, Huyantong in front, and Huyantong in front.
The Khitan cavalry in front, and Xu Shi'an further away, who had been asked by Han Shizhong to stand still.
Frankly speaking, at this time, Tuhesu intended to retreat. After all, it was meaningless to continue to hold on at this time. On the contrary, bringing the troops back would be more beneficial to the overall situation.
But... Thinking of this, Tu Hesu looked directly ahead at Hu Yantong, who had already rushed a hundred steps in front of him... How could he get away with this person when he was so entangled?
It should be noted that the battle lasted for half a day. As the first two troops to engage in the battle, the troops on both sides were already very exhausted and had no strength. What was the use of armor? In this case, once he suddenly chose to retreat, the cavalry
It is still possible to survive with mobility, but if the infantry loses its foothold, it will be submerged in the Song army's battle tide. And if the troops are abandoned and the cavalry are left behind, they may be able to survive a little while in the chaos, but that is not possible.
How likely is this kind of survival? What about your own tribe?
We have gone through many wars, and we have been leading the way in the past few decades. Even if we restrained ourselves after being injured, how could we abandon our subordinates and run away?
At this thought, Tu Hesu suddenly looked to the south of him, then summoned a close personal guard, and whispered to him: "Tell that noisy guy to take advantage of Huyantong to attack me, and let him lead his troops to withdraw first.
Take as many people back as you want, I will be the one to wean him off!"
The guard looked a little confused, but still turned around and left under Tu Hesu's fierce gaze.
Only then did Tu Hesu turn around and concentrate on mobilizing his troops to meet Huyantong's assault... But this time, the battle situation further verified Tu Hesu's suspicion. The troops on both sides were getting more and more exhausted, but because they had already killed the red
As a result, the morale is very high, which makes the attrition of troops more and more rapid, and the battle becomes more and more fierce.
However, Hu Yantong always had a sense of resilience, just biting himself and not letting go. It was obvious that he was deeply resentful about the previous incident.
On the other side, taking advantage of this opportunity, Tu Hesu's trusted guards successfully arrived at the position hosted by Han'er Meng'an on the south side... Because of Hu Yantong's main attack direction, low-intensity fighting has been maintained here, and the troops have been much more organized.
"Is this what Wanhu said?"
Meng'an, a man who always liked to pat horses, was startled when he heard this, and then frowned.
"good."
The guard looked a little impatient, responded, and hurried away, no longer paying attention to the other party.
As soon as the person left, the surrounding low-level officers gathered together, waiting for Meng An's decision.
The man thought for a moment and then gave a wry smile: "At this time, whether to go first or stay behind is just a matter of fate. It is better to stay and hold on and wait and see the situation."
Everyone looked at each other in shock, but looking at the situation on all sides, they had no choice but to pretend that nothing happened and continued to consume each other with the Khitan Qingqi in front.
In this way, the guard returned to Tuhesu's side again and informed his family of the result of the message delivery. However, until Huyantong was repulsed again, no movement was seen from the southern wing... Neither
He took the opportunity to retreat and escape, but did not react to the situation and took the initiative to rescue him.
"It's true that I underestimated this noisy guy." Tu Hesu's foot that was shot through was no longer itchy, but gradually became numb and painful. Seeing this situation, he was helpless for a moment, but simply
Zai Ma shook his head and smiled bitterly. "I think highly of him too."
"Wanhu?"
The Jurchen close friends around him obviously didn’t quite understand.
"He must have thought that I was trying to cut off his rear, but actually I was trying to attract the Song army's attention by using his larger numbers, and then take advantage of the situation to flee with his own cavalry." Tu Hesu responded calmly. "So don't move."
"This man is really judging the general's belly with a villain's heart!" A close aide was indignant. "Hu Yantong clearly had eyes for only ten thousand households. His escape was quite promising, but he actually had doubts and gave up on himself.
A way out."
"Don't laugh at people like this, because I do mean that." Tu Hesu laughed. "After all, if it continues like this, others may be able to support it, but we will be bitten to death by Hu Yantong first...
...So I hope that he will make a move first to see if there is a chance... Of course, if he escapes, we will still be bitten by Hu Yantong, and we have no complaints... After today's battle, don't you think
Don’t you see? In the eyes of God, both Jurchens and Han’ers have long been equal.”
The Jurchen warriors around had different expressions, but most of them looked sad.
And at this moment, hundreds of steps ahead, Hu Yantong's troops blew the trumpet again, which was obviously a gathering of people to reorganize, which caused tension on the battlefield again.
"This really doesn't work... it really doesn't work." Tu Hesu murmured to himself, and at the same time looked around again, but this time he no longer looked at the general battle situation around him, but took a rough inventory of the troops and horses within his field of vision.
Let's say that the Tuhesu headquarters initially had 9,000 cavalry, but because Pusan Beilu's advance went awry, the battle line had to be stretched too long and too thin, and one-fourth of it was overwhelmed by Han Shizhong. From then on, other troops
The troops have been stuck in the embarrassing situation of fighting on two sides, especially the north wing here, which was constantly being cut apart, and then Huyantong successfully bit off the middle in a previous assault, and then split into two, with one on the south side.
, there are about three to four thousand people on horseback maintaining the position, one group is standing around Tuhesu's own banner, there are about more than one thousand people on horseback.
Of course, the rest of the tribe was not annihilated. If that were the case, the army would have collapsed long ago. Instead, like the kidnapping horse in front of Han Shizhong at the beginning, they collapsed, retreated, dispersed, and then disappeared in or far away from this area, which may reach
It is difficult to gather on a battlefield of hundreds of square kilometers.
It's time to make a decision.
"We can't count on the south wing. Right now, there are still four to five hundred cavalry and a thousand infantry." Tu Hesu suddenly spoke again, and his tone became much more serious. "Let's start moving ourselves!"
The surrounding officers and guards were awe-inspiring for a moment.
"The cavalry will attack with me, and the infantry will take advantage of the situation to move closer to the southern flank." Tuhesu calmly ordered. "When the infantry is successfully reunited, we will also withdraw to the southern flank and continue to support it in order to preserve as much strength as possible."
After saying this, Wanhu didn't wait for the people around him to think about it, and he rode forward directly. The guards around him didn't have time to think too much and just followed him. Some officers thought about it for a moment and had no objections. Therefore, he
Hundreds of cavalrymen quickly gathered under the banner behind them, and then slowly started to move towards Huyantong's banner.
The remaining infantry hesitated for a moment and began to take advantage of the situation to leave their position and slowly move south.
It can only be said that there seems to be no problem with Tu Hesu's strategy this time. When he made a bold move and personally led the remaining cavalry to face him, Huyantong on the opposite side was not angry but happy. He immediately changed the military order and let the remaining troops, which had been less than 2,000 men,
They arranged their array in response and did not pay attention to the hasty transfer of the thousands of infantry.
However, as the cavalry gradually increased their speed, suddenly under the attention of the troops on both sides, they turned around and bypassed the Huyantong tribe, leading the hundreds of cavalry along the river towards the outside of the battlefield.
He galloped further west.
This scene shocked everyone, and everyone was caught off guard.
After a while, the hundreds of cavalry behind Tu Hesu also split up instantly. Some hesitated and turned back, while others kept following with their heads lowered. Even the cavalry who plunged into Huyantong's army formation, some had no time to change their route and out of anger, took the initiative to charge and fight.
Two kinds...and the latter surprisingly includes the flag bearer of Tuhesu.
This guard, holding the banner of Wanhu, quickly realized what had happened after following his Wanhu in a daze, then turned around without saying a word, raised the flag and rushed into the Song army's formation.
For a time, there were only more than a hundred cavalry left behind Tuhesu, and they were still scattering towards Shiyi to the south.
However, this still could not stop Hu Yantong from being furious. He was probably the most angry person on the battlefield for Tu He's sudden escape from the battle. He immediately got on his horse and led dozens of horsemen to pursue him.
And just when the main battlefield was in chaos, something even more bizarre happened - after only a few hundred steps, the sudden speed that had a high chance of escaping suddenly turned to the left and detoured...
...This is nothing, because the south after turning is where Shiyi is... However, after turning to the south, Tu Hesu did not stop at all, but continued to turn until it completely turned around, and then collided head-on with Huyantong's pursuers.
Under the gaze of everyone, this Jurchen veteran who was famous for his bravery in the past seemed to have really returned to what he had been ten years ago, taking the lead, wielding his war hammer, and charging ahead personally.
The two generals faced each other head-on. Hu Yantong was obviously caught off guard by the opponent's tactical counterattack. Suddenly, Tu He quickly picked up a hammer and hit his already injured arm.
Under the severe pain, Hu Yantong rolled over and fell off the horse, but the sudden attack and speed of the successful attack did not have any good results. The person was obviously injured and lost strength in his feet. After the attack, he lost his balance on the horse and was immediately hit.
The Huyantong guards came and pushed him off their horses.
The two of them almost rolled into a depression full of mud and water.
It is said to be a depression, but in fact it is just a slightly concave place on the plain. The water cannot reach a person's calf. Hu Yantong fell off his horse first and then stood up first. It was obvious that he lost his heavy weapon in the process of falling off his horse. He chose to take his own life.
Finally, he took out a dagger, then swung his weak arm and ran towards Tu Hesu in panic.
On the other side, Tu Hesu tried hard to stand up in the mud, but couldn't stand up straight at all. He stood up and slipped repeatedly.
His funny posture made Hu Yantong laugh out loud when he walked up to him.
But at this moment, Wanhu, the lame man sitting in the muddy water, suddenly pounced and pinned him down.
Hu Yantong struggled hard and tried to hurt the enemy with a dagger. However, with one arm unable to fight with both hands, he could not find a gap in the armor. He could only let the dagger keep scratching across the opponent's waist and back armor. On the contrary, he was hit by the opponent.
He choked several times while pressed in the muddy water, and gradually became unable to exert any strength.
However, around Ni Nao, knights from the Song and Jin armies had already gone crazy and rolled off their horses to try to rescue them. The first one was a Song soldier.
Tuhesu didn't dare to delay, and after smashing the opponent's helmet into the muddy water a few times, he took the initiative to abandon Hu Yantong, who was already a little exhausted, and crawled towards the approaching Golden Army knight on the other side. But it didn't work.
After taking two steps, his only foot that could exert force suddenly felt pain. When he looked back, he realized that Hu Yantong's dagger had pierced his calf.
That's not all. After a successful blow, Hu Yantongfu rushed forward with all his strength, wrapping his arms around the opponent from behind. No matter how hard he beat him, he would not let go.
"Kill this guy...cough!" Seeing the knights of the Song Army arriving first, Hu Yantong, who was lying on the opponent's back, shouted loudly, but he coughed again and again.
The knights of the Song Army who were holding weapons did not dare to hesitate, overstepped their own control, and struck Tu Hesu on the shoulder with all his strength.
Tuhesu screamed on the spot.
At this time, General Jin's cavalry arrived, but they did not hesitate to hit the Song Army knight on the back, and then backhand hit Hu Yantong's arm that was trying to wrap up Tu Hesu...
But Hu Yantong remained unmoved at all. Before he could smash the arm open, another Song Army knight who had not yet arrived from a distance directly threw a hammer at the Jin Army, knocking the Jin Army to the ground.
Then, as if they were going crazy, the guards of the Song and Jin armies who had been following their respective generals dismounted one after another. There were dozens of horsemen on both sides, and by then they were fighting in the mud with heavy armor and hammers.
Red, white, yellow, and black, all mixed together in the rain and mud.
The existence of the mask made it impossible for both sides in the melee to determine which person was their general, or which body was their general's body. Only the copper mask of the imperial camp's left army could distinguish between ourselves and the enemy, ensuring that this kind of bloody hand-to-hand combat would continue.
.
It really goes on and on.
Because as early as after witnessing the fall of the generals of both sides, the originally chaotic edge battlefield located in the northwest corner of the global battlefield had already fallen into a full-scale melee.
The Jurchen cavalry that originally turned back turned around one after another, and the infantry on the northern flank of the Tuheshu Division, which had begun to move south, was also divided into two. Some lowered their heads and accelerated to join the large troops on the southern flank, while others simply counterattacked into the Song army's formation.
The Song army did not hesitate to make more concessions, and the entire military formation fell into a frenzy. Those with enemies on their side immediately engaged the enemy, while those without enemies on their side swarmed towards the place where the two generals fell.
The two troops quickly fell into the most brutal hand-to-hand life-and-death battle. The two sides could not be described as red-blooded... because they had already been red-blooded in the morning's battle, and the madness at this time
It's definitely better than anything else.
A little more than a quarter of an hour later, with the hasty reinforcements of the Khitan cavalry and the Jieyuan tribe, the battle was quickly decided, and the madness came to an abrupt end.
For a time, there were moans and cries everywhere.
The bodies of Hu Yantong and Tu Hesu were also found again and were quickly washed away in the rain. Only the two struggled together and suffered many hammer blows that could not distinguish between friend and foe, and it was difficult to separate them for a while.
No one thought that this local battlefield would end in this way.
So fast, so bloody.
Jieyuan stood silently in front of Hu Yantong's corpse, saying nothing for a while.
The Khitan general Yerunuge came over on horseback and did not dare to interrupt, so he turned around and headed towards the south wing formation of the Tuhe Subu Department, which was still confronting them. As soon as he passed by, a Jin Jun Meng'an who had lost his weapon came directly to
He walked over holding the silver medal in his hand.
Obviously, after witnessing the scene just now, Meng An, a Han soldier, lost his last courage to resist. In addition, his troops were actually isolated from the main front, so he chose to gather the crowd and surrender.
And this unit also became the first established Jin army to surrender voluntarily in this battle.
"Do not kill me!"
When Yerunuge drove this man to Jieyuan's side, the Han'er Meng'an knelt down directly beside the bodies of Huyantong and Tuhesu, and blurted out to Jieyuan without stopping for a moment.
Confidential military intelligence report!”
"The Jin Army has sixteen thousand households. Zulu Guan is Aguda's biological son, so he led his troops to garrison Zhending City!"
"The four ten thousand households on the western front are He Shi Lie Tai Yu, Jia Gu Wuli Bu, Wan Yan Tu He Su, Pu San Bei Lu!"
"On the high ground, there are Wanyan Ben, Ling Chaohe, Wulin Da Taiyu, Pucha Hu Zhan, a total of four thousand households!"
"Ali advanced alone to take the lead for Shiqiao! If he retreated, he should have retreated to the east of the high ground to prevent Wanyan Onun and Yelu Mawu from being exposed behind the high ground."
"There is also Marshal Ba Lisu, who is still in the camp now. Huonv, Tiao Lubu, are also behind. There are also two Hezha Meng'an from the Marching Department of Taiyuan Prefecture, and a subordinate named Uncle Wanyan.
Yanjing has brought four Hezha Mengan!"
The man was trembling while talking, but he didn't dare to look at the two corpses beside him.
"Are you finished?" Jie Yuan asked coldly.
"That's it... No, there is one more... There is a Bohai Ten Thousand Household named Pu Suyue. His tribe does not even have half a ten thousand household. He stayed on the Hutuo River between the pontoon and the camp to provide support when necessary.
..." Han'er Meng'an still spoke tremblingly. "That's all the military information. If you ask him about it, he will tell you everything he is guilty of."
Jieyuan turned his head to face the guards beside him: "Pass this person's words to all parties in batches to ensure that the officials, ministers, princes, and all Jiedu are all aware of it."
The guards checked the information and then turned away.
However, Jie Yuan turned around and moved behind the general without saying a word. The general panicked and tried to get up, but was pinned down by Song soldiers on both sides.
Under the gaze of Yerunuge, Jie Yuan did touch the war hammer on his waist for a time, but for some reason, it was picked up by the wind with a gust of rain, and then splashed on his face. The deputy commander of the left army of the imperial camp finally still
He said coldly: "Quickly disarm and let the auxiliary troops on the other side take over... The whole army will prepare for a while, call Xu Shi'an, and come with me to besiege He Shilie Taiyu!"
At this point, Jie Yuan hesitated for a moment, but then slowed down his tone: "Don't forget to send Hu Yan's achievements to the officials."
