In the afternoon, the spring rain that everyone had already adapted to was still falling intermittently, and the war soon entered its third climax.
After learning the intelligence provided by the Han'er Meng'an, combined with other scattered frontline feedback, the commander-in-chief of the battlefield Wu Jie immediately judged that this information was ninety-nine times true, and at least the rough distribution of troops was not too bad.
So he immediately made a decision and sent Li Qiong's troops into the battle in advance... The 20,000-strong imperial camp army immediately set off, crossing the river from the lower reaches of Shiqiao-Highland, that is, in front of Huolu County, and then attacked along the
After detouring around the east side of the highland where the fighting intensity was weaker, they tried to find the 'reserve' army of Yelu Mawu and Wanyan Onlun.
This move was still very dangerous before.
Because during the hasty construction process, the Jin Army camp still worked hard to create and form a herringbone posture, as if a core node stretched out three arms.
Among them, the node is located slightly east of the south side of the highland. The battlefield is vast and can be regarded as the main camp. And among the three arms, one cuts through the back of the highland and connects to Shiyi further to the southeast. It was the original camp and a retreat;
One leads across the river to Zhending Fucheng, which is the main supply channel for military supplies and a more secure retreat route; the last one cuts diagonally across the highland from the east side and points across the Taiping River to Huolu County of the Song Army.
In other words, for the Jin Army, the highlands and their camps formed a mutual aid system... In fact, at the beginning of the Jin Army's heavy military group on the western front, among the four thousand households, the southernmost He Shilie Taiyu tribe was
Directly connected to the trench outside the camp.
In this case, it would have been very dangerous to rush from the east side of the highland rashly, because it was likely to be caught between the highland and the camp.
Only now that the battle has progressed, the main force of the Jin Army on the highlands has been completely exposed and out of control, and has been engaged with the Song Army on all fronts. So compared with the temptation of finding the Jin Army's reserve force in advance, a little risk is not so exciting.
It's hard for people to accept it.
Therefore, when Zhao Jiu learned of the news of Hu Yantong's death, the fierce fighting area had already penetrated the entire highland. On the battlefield with a radius of 16 or 17 miles with the highland as the core, the cumulative combat troops invested by both sides had reached 110,000 households respectively.
Together with the 125,000 people - Li Qiong, Qiao Zhongfu, Zhang Jing and others, they found Yelu Mawu and Wanyan Youlun.
According to the original plan, there will be a slight pause to see if the Jin army will put in their final reserve force under the fierce attack of Li Qiong's tribe... After all, no matter it is the three ten thousand plus six that the surrendered general said,
A strong alliance was expected, and the Jin Army must have a last resort.
"Is Huyan dead?"
In the rain, Zhao Jiu did not ask a question, but just put his hand on his forehead, because at this moment he clearly felt a flash of dizziness... However, after drinking most of the bottle of wine in the rain, he had such a feeling.
This feeling does not seem to be something worth paying attention to, and in a duel with nearly 200,000 troops, the death of a commander does not seem to be a message that can shake his official family.
"I understand." After suppressing the dizziness, Zhao Jiu breathed out slightly and answered as calmly as possible.
"Suddenly, the head of General Ali has been cut off, and Wu Dutong has sent it here. Do you want the official to inspect it?" Liu Yan, who was next to him, did not notice Zhao Guan's emotions hidden under the smoke, and continued to report seriously.
So much so that the rain dripped out from his armor into lines.
"No need." Zhao Jiu shook his head and held down the wine glass on the table in front of him.
Liu Yan immediately turned around and waved to the two Ban Zhi, who immediately retreated with the barrel in their hands.
The high platform temporarily piled with debris once again fell into an uncomfortable silence. In the silence, Zhao Jiu took a deep breath while others watched the battle.
In other words, this silence was not Zhao Jiu's subjective intention. On the contrary, at this moment, the Zhao Song official had countless words to say.
He really wanted to tell Mei Li, a close minister who might not know about it, that ten years ago, when he was most insecure, Hu Yantong had been responsible for the imperial guard work for a long time by chance.
He also wanted to ask Liu Yan, how many old soldiers from Yanzhou, Liaodong, were there now?
He also wanted to invite Lu Yihao to sit down, pour wine and discuss heroes with him, and discuss whose contribution was the so-called "ten years of achievements"? Is it him, an official, or someone who seemed to have descended from heaven to support the Song Dynasty in the great era?
Famous generals such as Han Yue and Zhang Wu? Or Li Gang, Zongze, Zhang Suo, Wang Boyan, Lu Haowen, Xu Jingheng, Zhao Ding, Zhang Jun and even famous Jianyan prime ministers including Lu Yihao?
And if not, is it the 300,000 imperial soldiers themselves, or the countless civil servants and officials in the world? Or is it the struggling remnants of Lianghe? The southeast, Jingxiang, who provided wealth and food for the country's rejuvenation
, Bashu, Central Plains, Guanxi people?
Or should we all be one?
But after the fall of the Jin Kingdom, can it really remain as one body?
In a daze, Zhao Jiu couldn't help but silently recited the names of the commanders in the imperial camp, then the ministers of the court, and then all the people whose names he could recall or those who couldn't remember their names, and even some who didn't.
In the end, the person with the face is no longer a specific person, but a series of things connected by the characters.
And when these people and things accumulated in his mind, to a certain extent, the official almost felt that his chest was going to explode, urging and forcing him to shout something.
However, he did not speak after all, not a word more, because he knew that if there was no result in today's battle, and it must be a definite victory, otherwise he would not be able to discuss these things and say these things.
name.
Another group of Red Heart Bell Ringing Knights came flying from Wu Jie's side, attracting everyone's attention. Zhao Guanjia, whose face was covered with rainwater, swayed, took the opportunity to pour himself a glass of wine in a hurry, and drank it all in one gulp.
, in an attempt to suppress the complicated emotions in my heart.
He has been using this method to control himself since morning.
"What's the matter?"
Liu Yan took the initiative and raised his knife to meet him.
Several Red Heart Riders came to the front and bowed down directly. Then one of them immediately reported: "Report to the commander... There is a report from the front line. The commander, General Guan Shigu, died in the battle."
Guan Shigu was a senior general of the Imperial Rear Army. Wu Jie proposed several times that he should replace his brother Wu Lin as the deputy commander of the Imperial Rear Army. He had an outstanding position in the Imperial Rear Army.
Therefore, after Liu Yan was startled for a moment, he immediately turned back to look at Zhao Guan's house who was sitting still. Knowing that the other party would be able to hear clearly at this distance, he immediately turned his head again after a slight pause and faced his subordinate seriously:
"I understand. Does Wu Dutong have any other information?"
"Yes." The leader of the Red Heart Cavalry took over and continued to report. Obviously, his message was more important. "Wu Dutong said that the battle on the front line is slightly unfavorable..."
"How do you say it?" Liu Yan immediately became serious. "Did General Guan's death in battle cause shock?"
"It's a little bit because of General Guan, but General Guan was on the frontal battlefield in the highlands. The ripples after his death were not enough to shake the overall situation. The main reason was that the strength of the Yeluma Fifth Division and Wanyan Onlun Division on the east side of the highlands was underestimated."
The captain of the Chixin Cavalry spoke clearly. "Originally, I thought that the five Yeluma tribes suffered a lot of losses in the Taiyuan battle and the retreat from Jingxing, and their combat power should not be strong. That's why Wu Dutong took the initiative to seek the enemy with Lieutenant Li and command 20,000 people to fight. However,
After the battle, it was discovered that the strength of Yeluma Wubu and Wanyan Onlun was not only weak, but also definitely exceeded 20,000 households..."
"Why is that so?" Liu Yan couldn't help but interrupt the other party to ask.
"According to feedback from the battlefield, there were many more infantry. Both Li and Wu Dutong believed that this was a last-ditch effort by the Jin army to concentrate the cavalry, so they picked out the remaining three thousand infants and added them to the original troops.
The weaker Yelu Mawu will use it..."
"I see." Liu Yan breathed a sigh of relief. As long as it is not a divine weapon that exceeds the original plan, it is naturally acceptable. "Then what will Wu Jiedu decide to do?"
"Wu Dutong said that although the Imperial Army's central army could not quickly suppress the Jin Army on the east side of the highland, our army on the west side of the highland was already overwhelming and could suppress the Jin Army across the board and force out the Jin Army's rear guard.
It's just a matter of time... Please don't worry, officials, just wait a moment." The words of the leader of the Red Heart Cavalry ended here.
When Liu Yan heard the last sentence, he looked behind him again and made sure that the silent official had heard the relevant information. He said nothing more and just waved his hand, asking him to go to Wu Jie to report back.
Already.
After the Chixin Cavalry left, Zhao Guan's family remained silent, but Lu Yihao slowly spoke under the umbrella of Mei Oak: "General Liu..."
"The general is here." Facing Lu Yihao, Liu Yan was a little flustered for a moment. "Ms. Lu, please speak."
"How many soldiers and horses are crossing the river? How many are staying on this side of the Taiping River?" Lu Yihao said calmly.
"The number of people who crossed the river was 125,000, and those who stayed on this side of the river were the cavalry of the imperial camp and the cavalry of the imperial camp's front army, which was composed of Beiwei army. They were under the command of Wang Jiedu and Yang Tongzhi, and
Added to the imperial camp's right army's Beiwei army's formation was a mixture of long axes, heavy infantry and long spears, about 26,700...the total number was about less than 40,000."
"Is there more?" Lu Yihao kept asking.
"There are also the Imperial Banzhi, as well as scattered Japanese warriors, some generals' personal guards, a total of three to four thousand troops on foot and cavalry, to defend the Huolu Camp and the officials." Liu Yan paused for a moment and continued to bow his head to answer.
"Is there anything else?" Lu Yihao continued to ask as if he hadn't heard anything.
"Then there are the Dangxiang Auxiliary Army and the Taihang Rebel Army."
"How do I tell it? Is it available?"
"Of course it can be used..." Liu Yan became more and more confused, but he could only state the facts bravely. "Many have combat experience, have endured hardships, and been in battle... But because we have to set up a supply line from Taiyuan to Huolu
, there are currently only 20,000 party Xiang civilians and 10,000 auxiliary troops reorganized from the Taihang Rebel Army in the camp in Huolu."
Lu Yihao nodded and looked at Zhao Guanjia, who was sitting there with an expressionless face: "Your Majesty, there are 180,000 soldiers out of Hebei this time. Excluding a few partial divisions that were sent to the Hutuo River, there are about 170,000 soldiers left.
We are already two-thirds of the way across the river."
Everyone suddenly realized that Lu Xianggong actually urged Zhao Guan's family to cross the river in person to break the deadlock.
And obviously, according to this official's temperament, he probably wouldn't refuse.
Of course Zhao Jiu also understood what the other party meant, but after thinking for a moment, the official who had already been unable to hold himself back actually shook his head, and then tried his best to calm down:
"hold on."
After being rejected, Lu Yihao didn't care. He just nodded briefly, and then ordered Liu Yan to dispatch 20,000 party auxiliary troops and 10,000 Taihang rebel auxiliary troops from the camp and line up in the open space behind the stone bridge.
At this time, Zhao Guanjia suddenly interrupted: "Let the auxiliary soldiers carry out all the horses from each battalion."
Liu Yan hurriedly organized the auxiliary troops without mentioning it, but the official's words clearly stated the fact that it was not that he did not want to cross the river, but that he hoped to be fully prepared at a better and suitable time to cross the river.
Set off in order to maximize the effect of the imperial conquest.
Just when Liu Yan hurriedly went to organize the auxiliary troops, on the battlefield on the other side of the Taiping River, the battle situation between the 120,000 Song Army and the 100,000 Jin Army was already in a mess.
But to say it is confusing, more refers to the interlocking situation of the battle. It refers to the fact that as time goes by, the soldiers who are getting more and more tired are falling into a difficult combat situation, with large casualties and general low morale;
This is a complicated situation in which the newly invested troops still have high morale and maintain a complete front while trying to seize the initiative.
In fact, from the dynamics of the entire battlefield, the situation is still clear at a glance.
On the west side of the highland, the Song Army has taken full advantage after defeating two thousand households on the western front of the Jin Army, and is trying hard to tear apart the last obstacle and complete the outflank from the highland... But as mentioned before, the western front
They were the first to enter the battle. After a fierce battle in the rain all morning and noon, both sides were very tired and their morale was very low. Although the Jin Army was holding on, the Song Army's offensive could not be compared with the previous one. In addition,
There is also the cavalry force Jiagu Wulibu brought from Yanjing. Wanhu are relying on the troops' partial mobility advantage to support and maintain them in layers. No one can tell when they will be taken down.
On the front of the highlands, the Song Army successfully connected with the troops on the western front after defeating the Ali tribe, so it has been able to maintain its advantage and momentum. But at the same time, the Jin Army of the highlands on the front had no shortage of veteran generals, and four
Ten thousand households were also connected in a line, declining but not collapsing, so there was never a breakthrough situation on the highlands like the one on the Western Front.
As for the east side of the highland, on the newly opened Eastern Front battlefield, although the scale of the battle is slightly smaller, it is rare that the two sides are roughly evenly matched, and they are all fresh troops, plus Wan Yan Wen Lun, Yelu Ma Wu, Li Qiong, Qiao Zhongfu, and Zhang Jing
These people are all recognized veterans, but they have fought back and forth.
I have to make a summary, that is, there are no miracles, and there are no magical plans.
The war has lasted for so long, and both sides have a clear understanding of the other side's tactics, personnel allocation, and equipment. Regarding heavy armor, the most distinctive military technology of the times, both sides have also learned everything about it... As for the estimation of troop strength,
, maybe no one can make a preliminary statistics, but generally both sides have a number.
Including the hundreds of camel cannons, they were just the icing on the cake and did not actually affect the main battle situation.
It can only be said that the Song Army had an overall superiority in morale and strength, so it naturally had a rough advantage at this moment, but it was not enough to quickly destroy the opponent's heavy strength; while the Jin Army knew that it was at a comprehensive disadvantage before the war started, but it could not.
They tried their best to gain certain tactical advantages by controlling high ground and establishing strongholds across rivers, but this tactical advantage was not enough to offset their overall disadvantages.
The previous rain and the current spring rain are generally fair to both parties.
And if there are no miracles and some ingenious strategies, the only thing that can affect the development and direction of the war at this time is when to further play out the cards in hand.
In fact, after Wu Jie learned that there was only one disabled Wanhu placed between the Jin Army camp and Zhending Mansion, he once had the idea of letting Qu Duan lead his troops to sneak around, but he was immediately stopped by himself.
He went on without even discussing this possibility with Zhao Jiu... At this point in the battle, it was impossible to divide the troops. The only option was to concentrate the troops on the main battlefield as much as possible.
It is precisely based on this reason that Lu Yihao lost no time in persuading Zhao Guan's family to cross the river at the right time. Only this official was thinking of a more suitable opportunity.
But this opportunity did not wait long.
About two-quarters of an hour after Zhao Jiu said, "Wait a moment," Liu Yan had not yet organized his 30,000 auxiliary troops into order. As the tug-of-war continued, Zhang Qi's troops suddenly followed a wave of advancement and took control.
We walked down to the top of the east slope on the highland, which is one of the two obvious high points on the east and west sides of the highland.
Having already marched to the "Commander Ruoding" banner in front of the stone bridge, Wu Jie looked at the large banner with Chinese characters on the high point and hesitated for a moment, but soon he came to his senses and quickly turned back to Zhao Guan's house.
Chixinqi, who was specially assigned to him, ordered Qu Duan to lead the remaining Song army cavalry, decisively cross the river and attack from there, and press forward from there to make a breakthrough. At the same time, he conveyed this military order to the emperor.
He did not mention what the official should do. It was not his turn to give orders in this matter.
The military orders from his former subordinates were first conveyed to the imperial cavalry. Without any hesitation, Qu Da immediately ordered Liu Qi, Zhang Xian, Zhang Zhongfu, Zhang Zhongyan and other generals to return to their headquarters, and then marched along the pontoon bridge that Li Qiong's troops had erected when crossing the river.
He went into battle, and he himself took the lead on his new iron elephant, directly leading his bodyguards to cross the river first... This does not mean that Qu Duan suddenly had full confidence in his troops and horses, or that after watching the fierce battle for most of the day, he had no idea
It means that he is willing to fight, but it means that at this point, no matter how stupid he is, he will not be able to hesitate or retreat.
Regardless of honor and responsibility, political pressure, or military power, he and his more than 10,000 cavalry troops who lacked rest must move forward at this time.
Just like the more than 100,000 troops who participated in the previous war.
"Qudutong."
As soon as they crossed the river, a Red Heart Cavalry chased him across the river and told Qu Duan a piece of news. "The official family has a decree, and the more than a thousand Red Heart Cavalry remaining in front of the emperor are at your disposal..."
Qu Duan was rarely startled, but before he had time to express his gratitude, he suddenly realized something, and then subconsciously looked towards Longhu on the other side of the river.
Sure enough, in the drizzle that had calmed down slightly, the dragon scroll moved.
This time, the activation of Zhao Guan's family and his already very old Jin Wu Huan did not cause any scene like a roaring mountain or a tsunami, at least not at this moment, and there was no touching parting between life and death, or anything that shook everything.
The people's hearts were shocked... This attack was not the same as Yaoshan's.
In the drizzle, the official of the Song Dynasty and Lu Yihao nodded to each other. Lu Yihao turned back to Lucheng, and Zhao Jiu stood up and headed west. There were only a few close ministers beside him, and Liu Yan's seven or eight hundred imperial guardsmen. That's all.
There is a source of justice and one hundred and eighty Japanese samurai among them.
Zhao Jiu even asked Shao Chengzhang to bring the remaining half a bottle of wine.
In addition, Zhao Guanjia's marching route was also somewhat deviated from the masses. After entrusting the Red Heart Team in the imperial squad to Qu Duan, who had been worried that his subordinates would suffer heavy casualties, he straightened up, then got on his horse and headed west. Obviously
It is necessary to take the extremely safe and secure stone bridge to cross the Taiping River.
Of course, even so, Qu Duan didn't think too much, or in other words, he didn't have time to think too much. He just rushed the troops to cross the river and support the frontal troops in an attempt to completely control the high ground... and by the way, clear the garrison site for the official and his dragon.
The last main battle cavalry of the Song Army crossed the river at high speed, but Zhao Guanjia, who was dressed in dark gold armor, headed straight west and stopped behind the stone bridge, behind Wu Jie's big banner... Under Wu Jie's gaze,
The official was waiting for a huge and strange "reinforcement"... Although it was a bit hasty, Liu Yan still sent the 20,000 party auxiliary troops and the 10,000 Taihang rebel auxiliary troops who had not been added to the imperial camp in the Hedong area.
The soldiers were assigned routes as much as possible.
These people did not have iron armor, and generally only wore leather armor, and carried spears and swords. The soft bows were useless at this time, so they were simply discarded.
However, it is worth mentioning that when they set out from the camp, in accordance with the orders of Zhao Guan's family, they dismantled almost all the horses in front of the Song army's camp, and then carried them in groups behind the dragon banner of Zhao Guan's family.
Auxiliary troops are auxiliary troops after all. Although there is also an officer system, it still took a long time to gather and march these 30,000 auxiliary troops. During this time, Qu Duan's troops had already formed a group with the rebels from all over the highlands... Qu Duan
There was also his difficulty there. It was not that he did not want to concentrate his troops, but that the battlefield was too cramped. He did not have the command experience and ability to concentrate on using tens of thousands of cavalry, nor did he have the tactical space.
But even so, the sudden entry of 13,000 to 4,000 cavalry into the battlefield immediately changed the battlefield situation. The originally active Yelu Mawu and Wanyan Onlun units immediately lost the initiative and could no longer attack the friendly forces on the high ground.
The morale of the troops on the highlands was so low that more than half of the entire highland was controlled by the Song army.
It can be said that this attack caused the Jin army to shrink across the board.
At this time, Zhao Guanjia finally set off again. At this time, behind him were not only the 30,000 party-Han auxiliary soldiers carrying thousands of simple horse-drawn troops, but also dozens more whose faces were constantly changing between pale and flushed.
'For consultation'... These people were driven out of the city by Lu Yihao and accompanied him.
Without further ado, the 30,000 auxiliary troops spread across the entire line and divided into dozens of groups to cross the river according to the pontoon bridge previously built by Li Yanxian's tribe. Zhao Guanjia took his servants, ministers, advisors, and led his imperial squad.
, holding the dragon banner between them, headed towards the stone bridge in the middle.
When they reached the stone bridge, Wu Jie, who had been prepared for it, knelt down and worshiped.
Zhao Jiuduan sat on his horse without saying a word, and only nodded slightly after allowing the other party to salute. Then Wu Jie's "Command Ruoding" scroll automatically moved to the side of Jin Wu's scroll, and Wu Jie himself stepped forward without hesitation.
He personally led the official's horse to the stone bridge.
At this time, the commotion caused by the auxiliary soldiers had already alarmed the soldiers of the Song Dynasty along the other side of the Taiping River... The battle continued for a while, coupled with the Song army's death order of "Anyone who turns over and crosses the river without serious injury will be killed."
The area along the south bank of the Taiping River has long since become a place where the lightly wounded, defeated, and exhausted troops of the Song Army gathered to rest and recuperate. Countless soldiers were panting, lying down, hiding and waiting in the muddy water.
But upon hearing such a commotion and seeing Long Hu crossing the bridge, countless wounded and defeated soldiers of the Song army could not help but look forward to it. Among them, the defeated soldiers unconsciously gathered in the direction of the stone bridge with some hesitation.
Of course Zhao Jiu saw this scene, and looked at it very carefully... He saw a large number of wounded lying on a clean slope that could not hold water. The rainwater flowed from top to bottom through the slope, drawing the blood into the river, so that it was mixed.
The yellow river water was faintly dark; he saw an exhausted soldier sitting in the puddle holding a spear, his hands and feet were all white from being soaked, but the mud on the side of his face was due to being away from him for a long time.
The rainwater had turned into hard lumps. At this moment, he was staring at him as if he had lost his soul. The official turned his neck so that muddy water dripped from his beard. He also saw a familiar officer running away from him when he crossed the river.
When I came over, I stopped for a while every few steps, and then started again, but the speed also slowed down, and I seemed to be a little timid.
However, Zhao Jiu, who was watching this scene the whole time, neither dismounted to comfort the wounded, nor rebuked the defeated troops, nor even asked the Ban Zhi to blow the horns, allowing the officers to take advantage of the situation to reorganize the troops.
Because it's not necessary.
The official didn't say a word, and just asked Wu Jie to lead him to the small slope in front of the stone bridge, where he then led the Jin Wu to stop for a while.
But just a moment later, just like the ripples caused by a stone thrown into the lake, the Song army on the riverside that had been in a condensed state was restarted... More and more Song troops were defeated and lightly wounded.
They rushed over and immediately surrounded the small slope with water, while troops and soldiers from the outer perimeter were still coming.
Zhao Jiu stood directly above the small slope, looked around, and saw countless pairs of eyes staring at him. He wanted to speak, but he was still as speechless as before... He was usually a sharp-tongued man, and he was best at playing the role of a wise king.
At this moment, it was as if someone had strangled my throat.
In fact, since noon today, he has not spoken a few words, and even if he has spoken, it has only been a few simple words.
It's really not that he doesn't want to say it, but that he is so eager to win that he can't say anything before victory.
Therefore, after looking around for a long time, he was sure that many defeated troops had been inspired. The official suppressed all the words in his heart, but was ready to move forward. However, he just hit the horse again, but after only two or three steps, he stopped.
Seeing a person coming from the front in a hurry, he reined in his horse again, and Wu Jie also cooperated throughout the process.
Without him, the person who came was Wang De, the deputy commander of the imperial camp. He was alone, shirtless, wearing only trousers, and his upper body was wrapped with seven or eight straps from his arms to his torso, including five or six places.
There was obviously blood seeping out, but he only came on foot. When he saw Zhao Jiu was about to leave, he bowed his head and bowed down dozens of steps away.
Zhao Jiu knew that his unit suffered heavy casualties, and was probably the most exhausted unit in the entire army. It must be resting at this time. He also knew that while this Yaksha had made great achievements, one of his two sons was dead and the other was injured, so he naturally wanted to comfort him.
But for some reason, when the words came to my lips, they were particularly simple and plain:
"Wang Qing."
"I'm here." Wang De raised his head, obviously with a different kind of excitement from before the war.
"Follow me!" Zhao Jiu, who was on the horse, tried to order calmly.
However, for some reason, these three simple words almost made Wang De cry on the spot. He spent a lot of effort to calm down his emotions and kowtowed heavily on the dirt again:
"Please wait a moment, officials, please allow me to prepare my armor!"
Zhao Jiu immediately nodded and faced him.
With this nod, the defeated soldiers gathered around, including many lightly wounded, finally let out a coax, and came to life again as if they had received some will. Then they looked around for their armor and weapons. If they couldn't find them, they simply Go directly to the surrounding corpses and search them.
As for Zhao Jiu, after Wang De re-dressed his armor and rode on a war horse with a long ax to lead the flag as his vanguard, he did not hesitate and continued to ask Wu Jiu to lead the horse south at an unhurried pace to climb the high ground. .
But after walking a mile or two upward, Li Yanxian came to greet him face to face. When the monarch and his ministers met, they still cherished their words like gold. It was just a courtesy, and Li Shaoyan introduced the imperial seal and his headquarters to follow the emperor.
At this moment, the troops and horses behind Zhao Jiu had formed a considerable order. In addition, at this time, the auxiliary soldiers carrying the resisting horses had generally crossed the river and started to gather behind the imperial commander again according to the previous military order. , the commotion caused by this dragon quilt was finally uncontrollable.
On the northern slope of the highland, the Song Army was encouraged across the board. On the whole, most of the Jin Army, which had been pushed to the other side of the highland, although it was not clear why, clearly felt the shock and impact, while a few occupied the high ground. The Jin army at the top realized what was happening and hurriedly moved their sentries to the rear to call for support.
But, it's too late.
"Official!"
After only two or three hundred troops had gone, Han Shizhong suddenly came from the west riding a horse, and then called from a distance, "Are the officials going to the east slope?"
"Of course!" Zhao Jiu turned around to look at each other and replied loudly to the unparalleled banner in front of him.
"The high slope to the east is a secondary slope, not as high as the high slope to the west." Han Shizhong didn't have time to take off his mask, so he pointed his riding crop to his side and said. "The official is the emperor. Since he wants to watch the decisive battle between the king and his division, what can I do?" Can we go to a secondary slope? We must go to the main slope on the west side to set up our formation!"
"Isn't the main slope still in the hands of the Jin army?" Before Zhao Jiu could speak, Li Yanxian behind him suddenly interrupted and asked loudly.
"When I and all the Jiedu guards arrive, the main slope must have been controlled by our army!" Han Shizhong also responded on the spot without stopping.
Zhao Jiu still didn't talk nonsense, he just turned the horse's head and headed west.
Han Shizhong also immediately led his large banner to follow the flankers. However, his Wei army, led by the commander Cheng Min, had already headed directly to the main slope on the west side, which was still under the control of the Jin army.
Not only that, Zhao Jiu marched along the way, and all the ministries on the western front cheered up. The ministries of the imperial camp's left army, together with Dangxiang and the Khitan Qingqi, ran like wolves, jumped like pigs, pecked like cranes, or leaped like tigers, and they all rushed towards the enemy. Coming from high ground here.
The Jin army here has long been on the verge of collapse. Now it is being attacked from all sides. How can it defend it?
Within half a quarter of an hour, looking at the dragon banner with three large banners and dozens of general flags gathered in front of it, the guard Piaohe just sighed, and then he beat his horse and led the crowd to retreat.
It wasn't even half past the afternoon, and the rain didn't stop. Under the drizzly sky, Zhao Song's official family's dragon 纛 stood silently on the highest point of the core high ground of the battlefield.
Also arriving were the banners of Han Shizhong, Li Yanxian, and Wu Jie, as well as dozens of general flags including Wang De, the Jiedushi envoy.
After arriving here, the dragon banner was in the center, the generals and generals led the banner, and the flags were arrayed on the left and right sides. The imperial squadron lined up in a circle. Zhao Jiu took some time to prepare, turned over and dismounted, and then Liu Yan, the commander of the imperial palace, put up the horse.
Ban Zhi brought a few cases, and Shao Chengzhang, the chamberlain's provincial warden, placed the pot of Lanqiao Fengyue that didn't know how much was left.
Immediately, all the generals came forward and lined up, following Zhao Guan's residence from a high position to watch the battle.
There were no drums, no horns, and no additional commands throughout the whole process, but from the moment it set off from this dragon's head, it had already begun to affect the situation of the battle. And when it stood on this main slope, it just "watched the battle" and directly contributed to the battle.
stock storm.
After setting up the flag, within a quarter of an hour, Qu Duan, who was unable to control all his subordinates, together with almost all his subordinates who led the troops independently, broke through the gap between the eastern front and the highland battlefield, and even went down with another subordinate Li Shifu.
The Dangxiang light cavalry tribe gathered together and formed a huge cavalry group on the east side of the highland.
This is the first time since the Northern Expedition that the main forces of the Royal Camp Cavalry have gathered on the battlefield... and the benefits of the Zhao Guan family's choice to march with the Imperial Camp Cavalry are undoubtedly evident. At this moment, one plus one is definitely far greater than two.
At the same time, Jiagu Wuli Bu Bu Wanqi, who had been struggling to support him, finally gave up protecting He Shilie Taiyu under the huge danger of being surrounded by all fronts, turned around and walked away, trying to escape from the enemy.
Reorganization behind the scenes.
Using force from both sides, the Chinese army also took advantage of the situation to seize all the high ground of the Chinese army and pressed down hard.
In other words, when the dragon banner crossed the river and first ascended to the high ground, both sides still held the number of five to five on the high ground, and the highest point was not even in the hands of the Song army. However, after the dragon banner was set up at the highest point, within a quarter of an hour,
The Song army successfully suppressed 70% of the high ground and seemed to be surrounded on three sides.
At this time, many generals of the Jin Army who had never experienced Yao Mountain, but under the waves that crashed over the highlands, they remembered a saying spread among the Jin Army by the Queen of Yao Mountain - just that dragon 绛 is worth it.
Two thousand households!
"You haven't said a word for half the day, are you just waiting for this moment?!"
Long Yan suddenly appeared on the commanding heights of the battlefield. The Jin camp was already in chaos, and the Privy Council of the Kingdom of Jin agreed. After listening to the report of his confidants outside the tent, Hong Ya immediately stood up and forced himself in front of the young Song Chen.
Stare at each other and gnash your teeth.
"That's right." Yu Yunwen took advantage of his height and spoke condescendingly. "I'm just waiting for this moment...Hongzhi County! You don't have to be so stern and shy anymore! The Song Dynasty will win this battle, and it will definitely be a big victory. No matter how much you try,
, isn’t it just that you won’t shed tears until you see the coffin? Now that the official family has reached the high ground, and the situation is about to come true, you can almost see it from a distance. I am now relying on the power of the official family to give you a last chance to be rich and peaceful... What are you hiding?
Words, unwilling to explain?!"
"What can you do to me if I don't tell you?!" Hong Ya turned around, furious.
"If you don't tell me, it's just that in the future, everyone will be killed and the whole family will be sent to the Western Regions!" Yu Yunwen blurted out, simply and neatly. "It will be like this if you don't kill me, and it will be like this if you kill me. The matter of me and Commander Bei entering your camp,
There is absolutely no way to cover it up... Only if you tell me the reason now, you can save your life!"
Hong Ya turned his back to the opponent and was panting. After a long time, he lowered his voice and said: "If I don't say it, the Jin Army might just be defeated and lose two rivers, but they still have the foundation. After all, this defeat
I’m afraid I’m going to be defeated in one fell swoop and become a piece of cake in the Song Dynasty…”
"So, it's military intelligence?" Yu Yunwen was overjoyed for a moment. "It's Marshal Yue who is already about to harvest the deer?!"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Hong Ya turned around and was extremely speechless. "This is not about overcoming danger. It can also be used as a joke... They are all from Daming Mansion. The Jin Army has so many cavalry.
, supplies along the way, but we are about to meet Shangguan's family, how can Yue Fei come? Do you really think he is a golden-winged roc? Moreover, if he really wants to arrive, what difference does it make if I tell him or not? "
Yu Yunwen suddenly realized... If Yue Fei could arrive here in time to join the battle, why would he let his elite horsemen follow the Jin army with the imperial cavalry?
You should know that although he was captured before Qu Duan arrived at the army, as a close minister of the imperial court, he also knew the news.
But if that's not the case, what other information can directly affect the outcome of this battle?
And it’s just a message?
"Let me ask you." Hong Ya suddenly swallowed a mouthful of saliva, then lowered his head and asked hurriedly. "Is this three-long-armed stronghold built by Jin Jun strange?"
Yu Yunwen was slightly startled, but immediately shook his head slowly: "Although it is strange, it is just because the matter happened in a hurry...it all makes sense."
"What's the point?"
"The most obvious one is that the two arms sandwich the high ground, making it easier to use troops."
"anything else?"
"Also...it also points to the true concentration, which is convenient for supplies."
"anything else?"
"Also... there is also an arm pointing at the deer for easy observation..."
"What is all this?!" Hong Ya was furious. "Let me ask you...before this battle started, did everyone know that the Jin army would win less and lose more?"
"It's natural."
"Then the Jin army was not prepared for defeat when they built this stronghold?"
Yu Yunwen's heart moved slightly: "The Dazhai is forcibly extended from Shiyi to Zhending. It can effectively gather the defeated troops and block the pursuing troops...is this what you mean?"
"That's right." Hong Ya stared at the other party and said the answer. "Yu Tanhua... you must remember today. Not only do you owe me your life, I also repay the Song Dynasty a share of its national destiny... You should
I've already guessed it... Although Yue Pengju was too late to catch the deer, the Yellow River had been thawing for a long time, and your father-in-law Zhang Rong had been joining the army with him. He could have taken advantage of the rising spring weather and flowed down the river.
Then it blocks the Hutuo River from entering the Yellow River mouth..."
Yu Yunwen was a little confused for a moment because he didn't have time to compare the geography of Hebei.
"You asked me before why the new Yanjing army didn't come over?" Hong Ya was a little impatient when he saw this. "Firstly, it was really too late, and secondly, even if they were ready, they must have a new place to go, so they were ready.
Go to Hejian Mansion to block Yue Fei and your father-in-law! According to top-secret military information, the day before yesterday, the Song Army's vanguard ship had already rushed to Hengshui with manpower and water power!"
Yu Yunwen's mouth went dry for a moment: "What do you mean...?"
"What I mean is." Hong Ya pressed forward and said with red eyes. "If the Jin army is defeated in this battle, it is impossible for so many soldiers to escape to Zhending from the pontoon bridges in the north. The Hutuo River is
The big river is not the same thing as the Taiping River, especially during the flood period after the spring rain... Most of the defeated troops can only use the cover of the camp to escape to the lower reaches of the Hutuo River, and then look for opportunities to cross the river to gather... But at this time, if they are in Hutuo
Is there already a Song navy navy downstream of the river?"
"If there is a naval force downstream to meet them." Yu Yunwen couldn't believe it for a moment. "Wouldn't it be true that as long as Master Wang dares to risk chasing and bites the defeated army to prevent them from crossing the river, the Jin army in Hutuo Henan can be stopped.
Returning north?!"
"So I say, this piece of military information can determine the rise or fall of a country!" Hong Ya shook his head for a moment.
"But if that's the case, why didn't the Jin army move to Hutuo and Hebei for the decisive battle before?" Yu Yunwen was nervous and still couldn't believe it.
"Wushu, do you dare?" Hong Ya pointed to the outside of the tent, furious for a moment. "In front of that official, more than ten thousand households inexplicably forcibly crossed the Hutuo River? I'm afraid there is no chance of a fair fight today!"
Yu Yunwen was completely speechless, but after a while, he suddenly stepped forward and grabbed the other party: "Shilang Hong, send me out!"
"I have exhausted all my benevolence and justice!" Hong Ya looked at the other party and shook his head. "Now that things have come to this, if there is a chance, I will send you back. If there is no chance... don't hurt me!"
At the end of the sentence, he even shook off his sleeves fiercely, but for some reason, this person was just like the helpless Yu Yunwen. Both of them were breathing heavily in the tent, and it was hard to calm down.
"Yang Tongzhi! What do you mean?!"
At the same time, in the Song Army's stronghold on the other side of the Taiping River, there were people panting under the drizzle. However, it was Wang Yan, the commander-in-chief of the imperial camp, who held the sword on his waist and looked at Yang Yizhong in front of him and became angry for a moment.
."Do you think I can't deal with you because you are a close official of the imperial court?"
Yang Yizhong continued to maintain the gesture of saluting with his hands raised, and slowly shook his head: "President Wang is a general who upholds integrity, so it is okay to deal with me and control him... But regardless of whether he deals with it or not, President Wang must not send troops in advance! The government has a clear purpose
, Unless Ba Lisu and Hezha Meng'an both appear, our troops will never be able to cross the river!"
Wang Yan also shook his head: "At this moment, at that moment, all the festivals gathered together, and the escort officials boarded the high-pressure formation. The whole army was excited. The Jin Army formation in front was about to be crushed by the officials! How can we delay the opportunity to fight?"
Yang Yizhong remained unhurried: "President Wang, let me look at it from here. This move by the officials itself will help Qudutong and us fish out the last cavalry of the Jin Army. We cannot put the cart before the horse."
Of course Wang Yan knew that Yang Yizhong had a special status, and he might have meant what he said, but when he saw what the other party said, nearly a hundred commanders transferred from the surrounding ministries all nodded in agreement, but they became arrogant.
Instead he was very angry:
"If I insist on using the honor and favor of my close ministers to point back at me, then you can take charge of this formation yourself. Why do you need me to take charge?!"
"President Wang! Is this battle an opportunity for you to strive for glory and establish your authority?"
Hearing this, Yang Yizhong, who had always maintained a humble posture, suddenly raised his head, held the knife with one hand, and spoke coldly. "From the official family to the 300,000 imperial camp, and even Lianghe Liren, the soldiers and people in the southeast, the world works together
It took ten years to achieve today's battle. You are trusted by the officials to make this move for the world. Instead of thinking about everything, do you want to endanger the safety of the world with one person's selfishness?!"
Wang Yan was finally stunned. He looked around and saw that nearly a hundred commanders around him were just staring at him and Yang Yizhong. Zhang Zigai even turned his knife behind Yang Yizhong, but he became a little flustered and discouraged:
"If so, let me listen to you and wait for the opportunity."
Yang Yizhong bowed his hands respectfully, stood to one side, and remained motionless.
Besides, Yang Yizhong's words were a bit harsh. Wang Yan would never use personal power to destroy public relations. Of course, it was too much for Wang Yan to lose his temper at this time... But the essence of both sides' gaffes was tension and emotion.
Knowing that the victory or defeat will be decided, and it may be decided by both of us, I can't calm down.
Moreover, if we really want to talk about feeling unfair, the most unfair person on this battlefield is definitely not the side of the Song Army.
"Live girl!"
Wu Shu sincerely comforted Wan Yanhuo Nu in front of him. "I know that it's time to fight for victory. I even asked Zhen Lu Guan to bring the cavalry from Wan Huli with Zhending...
But you must suppress your anger. At this time, victory or defeat all depends on the last blow. Only when all our soldiers and horses see the right time and attack together can we turn defeat into victory... Zhao Song's official family came to the high ground. Isn't it what we expected before?
Is it the best result? After the victory of the army, there is no doubt that it will also perform extraordinary feats. But we have to wait a moment, and wait until the cavalry of the Song Army that has just arrived is a little tired, and then we will attack on three sides..."
"Fourth Prince, stop talking."
The living woman interrupted the other party coldly. "Since you are here, how can I attack without authorization... On the contrary, you have been chattering like this since you came to lead here. I am afraid that you have reached the extreme level of fear, right?"
It was obvious that Wu Shu didn't want to answer this question, so he turned around directly. But when he turned around and saw the clear dragon seal on the commanding heights of the highland and the three large seals behind the dragon seal, he couldn't help but feel thirsty.
My tongue is dry, but I still want to turn around and keep talking to the living girl.
But when the ruling prince of the Jin Kingdom turned around and was about to say something more, he suddenly felt that something was wrong in the high ground, so he turned back to look... and took a few glances through the drizzle.
For a moment I couldn't see what was wrong, so I turned around again.
But this time, he was shocked to find that the living woman was looking behind him with wide eyes, that is, in the direction of Long Meng, and then gradually she couldn't help but open her mouth slightly.
It was literally dumbfounded.
So Wu Shu quickly turned around to look again, but the chaotic and huge battlefield came into view, and his mind was filled with all kinds of military information. He clearly felt a trace of huge danger, but he still couldn't identify it for the moment, so he became more and more anxious, and the more anxious he became, the more anxious he became.
Unrecognizable.
Therefore, the King of Wei of the Kingdom of Jin directly grabbed the living girl for consultation.
"Reject the horse!" The living woman was furious, pointing her finger and uttering a word that seemed to be fatal. "King Wei, didn't you see that the Song army was preparing to lay out all over the mountain to reject the horse?!"
Wu Shu woke up like a dream, but suddenly he was a little puzzled - the Song army laid a large area of rejection horses around Longhu, so what?
It should be noted that the only purpose of laying out the horses in this way is to ensure that the Jin Army's cavalry cannot cause a surprise attack on the Zhao and Song officials and the generals under the dragon. It does not delay the Jin Army's original plan, which includes six joint campaigns.
The last 20,000 or so elite cavalry of the Jin Army, including Meng'an, poured out from the arms of the herringbone camp, flanking the high ground on three sides, crushing the highland offensive.
By then, if we can win, we will win. If we cannot win, we will just cancel the Song army's offensive, and today it will be considered a success.
Of course, it is understandable that the living girl had such a big reaction, because from the living girl's point of view, in addition to winning this battle, her biggest goal is to kill those people under the dragon's banner.
To put it bluntly, the matter has come around again. We still need to suppress the living girl and stop him from moving rashly.
However, Wu Shu was still a little confused, because if this was the case, why did he feel a huge sense of crisis when scanning the battlefield?
At this thought, Wu Shu looked directly at Huonv, and Huonv also suddenly looked at Wushu, and grinned directly: "King Wei, I am getting ready to go to war, and I hope you can live to be one hundred and twenty years old!"
Wu Shu immediately wanted to speak.
"There is no need to persuade me, King Wei persuaded the wrong person." The living girl continued to sneer. "Actually, King Wei was right to come to my camp in the first place, because if anyone saw the scene of the dragon standing tall before and went to war regardless of the overall situation,
It must be my top priority... But now that the horse has started to mount in front of the dragon, and it will defeat our intention of defeating the dragon with the cavalry today, then I am not the only one who can no longer bear it."
Wu Shu finally reacted, and then looked to the north along the camp. Sure enough, there began to rumble... That was the sound of opening the camp's preset suspension bridge, and through the suspension bridge, it was the Jin Army who launched a large-scale attack across the entire line.
One of the preparations.
He and Bali Su worked very hard for the final blow.
"Uncle Wanyan is dead!" Wu Shu shook his head in reply, but he was not angry. "Uncle Wanyan is dead!"
The living girl didn't pay attention to him at all. She just turned around and ordered the cavalry of her headquarters, who had rested for most of the day, to put on their armor and mount their horses. She ordered the signing troops to let go of the drawbridge, and ordered everyone to rush forward with him to avenge him for killing his father.
This time, Wu Shu did not stop the opponent.
Just after half of the afternoon, as the Song army began to deploy auxiliary troops around the commanding heights of the highlands to resist the horses, the former deputy general of Loushi, Wanyanjieshu, finally couldn't bear it any longer and immediately led four of the six Hezha Meng'an out of the camp first.
As soon as Uncle Pei came out, Wan Yanhuo Nu, the westernmost one, also led his troops out of the camp. Then the pale-faced Ba Lisu officially sent out troops from the node of the camp. His own cavalry plus two Hezha Mengan went out to fight together... and finally...
In a hurry, he set off in accordance with the military order of pulling away and dispatched troops from the camp on the east side of the highland.
Among the three thousand households, the proportion of cavalry in the Balisu headquarters is frighteningly high. Therefore, although the infantry was assigned to Yelu Mawu early, after adding six Hezhameneng'an, there are still 24,500 cavalry.
Suddenly, troops of cavalry appeared from three sides, so to speak, like a forest of iron cavalry, urging all the cavalry to attack the high ground.
Zhao Jiu was condescending and looked at the formation from a distance, feeling half relieved and half horrified.
Even Han Shizhong, Li Yanxian, Wu Jie and other generals' faces were as dark as water.
Just by looking at it, they realized that although the Zhao Guan family went to battle with the imperial cavalry and successfully fished out the last trump card of the Jin Army, the last elite that the Jin Army had hidden all day long was by no means an empty thing.
The Song army had to pay a bloody price to win this battle.
"Come on...come on!"
Qu Duan also noticed this scene, or he couldn't have ignored it, because his troops were the first to bear the brunt, but he did not hesitate at all. When he turned back to give the order, not only that, but after the second order, he took the lead and led his troops to personally
The guards and Chixinqi met face to face with Hezha Meng'an, a unit of Uncle Wanyanjie's command.
Not only Qu Duan, but all the Song army's armored cavalry also knew that this battle was inevitable, and each unit, under the command of their respective generals, faced it head on.
On the southern slope of the highland, two cavalry armies collided with each other. At the same time, on the commanding heights to the west, flags and signals were waved continuously, and the sound of bugles and drums finally became louder.
In the unwavering spring rain, the auxiliary soldiers nervously carried their horses and quickly laid out in accordance with military orders. The infantry formed a large formation, with their guns raised like a forest of iron. The light cavalry scattered across the battlefield also struggled to shrink from everywhere.
Gather together and try to support the Highlands.
The Imperial Banzhi beside Zhao Jiu quickly surged down and formed a formation behind the already laid out horses.
"Everyone."
When Yuan Weiyi, who was wearing an armor that didn't fit him, spoke in Japanese, he didn't even notice that his voice was trembling. "We can't retreat at this time. If we just take a step back, we will be laughed at by people from several countries."
A hundred years... Liu Tongzhi has not given us a task, and we cannot retreat."
As he spoke, he pulled out his sword, drew a line in the mud between the two horses that were only two or three people apart, stepped outside the line, and then turned around to face his dozens of pale-faced men.
Compatriot: "A few days ago, Master Dahui told me about the square inch of land. Now this place is the square inch of land for Genji Mutsu Shiro! If the cavalry of the Jin Kingdom wants to cross here, I will have to die here.
, and immediately became a Buddha.”
Dozens of Japanese samurai were stunned for a moment, and then all of them were speechless. They just learned from each other and each found a gap to resist the horse, and drew the line with their swords to form a square inch of land.
In other words, just when the Japanese samurai were still trying to muster up the courage to face this battle that was once again beyond their imagination, in the chaos, the fierce and bloody confrontation between many cavalry on the southeast side of the highland ended in direct results.
That's right, when the long-range weapons are roughly ineffective, the armored cavalry charges and engages in battle. It happens at that moment. Victory is victory, defeat is defeat, life is life, and death is death.
Of course, on this kind of battlefield, even if they die directly in the first charge, it does not mean that their charge is worthless.
It can even be said that anyone who takes up arms to fight on this battlefield is an irreplaceable warrior.
"That's it!"
After seeing many identical flags being passed on, Yang Yizhong suppressed his heartbeat and signaled to Wang Yuan. "According to the original plan, I will be the leader, Zhang Zigai will be the tail, and the president will be among them...
"
Wang Yuan, whose chest was also beating wildly, also had no extra words and just nodded hurriedly. With his nod, the Song Army made the last throw, and sure enough, the Jin Army followed immediately after the last throw.
About a quarter of an hour later, due to the outstanding performance of the forward troops and the tactics of attacking from three sides, Marshal Ba Lisu of the Jin Army, who personally led the main force to suppress some of the imperial cavalry, successfully made his five-color sun-holding flag appear on the ground.
The high point on the east side of the highland is less than 500 steps on a slope.
However, the Marshal of the Jin Army was not at all excited about his progress. At this moment, he only had the anger caused by Uncle Wanyan's unauthorized deployment of troops... In his opinion, Uncle Wanyan's attack was not just a matter of ignoring
His marshal authority sent the Jin army into an extremely dangerous situation in this battle.
Because according to his calculations, the Song army should still have a reserve force of 20,000 people. They should use up their strength as much as possible and delay sending troops until the end.
Now, the purpose of rushing to this slope is not to seize the high point on the east side, but to try to find the location of the Song Army's last reserve team, and then destroy it quickly and decisively... Only in this way can the Jin Army continue to maintain that
Two or three possible hopes of victory.
In about half a stick of incense time, Ba Lisu found his goal.
It turned out that on the east side of the highland facing the river, a huge Song army had just crossed the countless pontoon bridges on the Taiping River. At this moment, it was forming its troops along the river, and the formation was rapid... The size of this army and the neatness of its armor,
It is impossible to admit mistakes and ignore them.
The only thing that was a little strange was that when this armored force, which definitely numbered 24,000 to 50,000, quickly formed a thin long formation along the river, they formed a team.
At first, Ba Lisu thought this was to facilitate the march. The army was going to march quickly to the west and then hide behind the Zhao Song official's house.
But soon, as this army began to raise its weapons, all the Jin armies that could see this scene on the east slope, from Ba Lisu to Zhen Lubu, were all eclipsed.
At least 24,000 Song Army soldiers with heavy armor and heavy armor were arranged in four rows. The first row raised a long axe, the second row raised a long spear, the third row still raised a huge axe, and the fourth row still raised a spear. The formation was as tight as a wall and a forest.
The next moment, with the rumbling of drums, the armored wall and ax forest moved slowly, like an iron dragon that had been hiding by the river for a long time, rolling towards the high ground.
On the east slope of the highland, whether they were cavalry or infantry, large groups or small groups, the Jin army looked at this scene with horror, just as the Song army had seen all the Jin army's armored cavalry before.
But soon, under the five-color sun flag, Marshal Ba Lisu suddenly raised his head and laughed. The laughter stopped, and he pointed at the iron dragon with his finger again, then looked back at the surrounding trusted generals and personal guards, and roared loudly:
"My sons, today I have separated from the heroes of Su Chi and others. When the enemy is strong, regardless of success or failure after the war, the history books say, who dares to say that I am not the true marshal of the Kingdom of Jin?!"
The generals were stunned at first, and then exploded.
Ps: Thanks to Taosu Glutinous Rice Cake Children's Boots (a familiar face) and Zhuifeng Little Bear Children's Boots, they are the 208 cute and 209 cute children in this book respectively!
Then he dedicated a new book - "I Become Bai Wuchang in the City God's Temple".
Finally, I have been reading everyone’s activity posts. There are many good ones. I will sort them out when the time comes. According to the awards and length, just like Fu Han, I will try my best to sort them into the appendix of the book and expand them into public chapters.
I just feel a little sorry for the great artists in drawing and video.
