As soon as the Jin Army cavalry rushed out, the blue flag was raised on time, but for frontline commander Wang Sheng, who had already received Han Shizhong's orders, it still felt that it was too late.
In fact, Wang Sheng was already blinded by the attack by the Jin Army. When he turned around and saw the blue flag raised, he hurriedly ordered his two lieutenants, Yue Chao and Dong Min, to lead thousands of men to the attack as planned.
The two wings were torn apart, and he led the remaining thousand or so people to the east in confusion.
This is a typical strategy of luring the enemy deep and attacking from both sides.
However, things are always perfect when thought of, but extremely difficult to actually do... Although Wang Sheng gave the order and put it into action, whether it was the Imperial Banzhi who came to support from the Dazhai front line or Han Shizhong's various departments in the Chinese army, as Jin
The huge casualties caused by the army's attack were simply out of control. Therefore, when they heard Wang Sheng shouting the gold signal from a little distance away, Generals Yue Chao and Dong Min retreated together, but were surprised to find that their respective flags were actually beaten by the Jin army's cavalry.
Run over on the same side!
The so-called outflanking by turning two wings suddenly became a joke.
Of course, when things came to this, this idea didn't matter at all. Because as the three generals' flags retreated together, and now there were armored knights of the Jin Army, the front part of Wang Sheng's tribe was in chaos for a while, and they completely lost their control.
, countless soldiers and horses discarded their helmets and armor, hugged each other, split into small groups and exploded instantly, leaving the Jin men behind to chase, hack, kill and hunt.
Just like the experience gained after countless battles with the Jin people, the so-called predetermined strategy of deceiving the enemy to defeat will almost always lead to a real defeat.
The reason why it is said to be almost is because Wang Sheng's headquarters is at the rear, that is, the easternmost position, and has not suffered too many casualties. In addition, Wang Sheng himself has always been prestigious, so this small half of the army is about more than a thousand.
They were not completely out of control. They were still able to maintain their formation, maintain their armor and equipment, and run eastward along with Wang Sheng... However, there was no doubt that they were running like a wolf.
Back in front of him, Puluhun waited for work and rode against the enemy. One thousand and five hundred iron cavalry charged forward bravely, causing the three thousand Song soldiers on the east side of the camp to almost collapse. However, he watched from a distance with the Chinese army and laughed ecstatically.
The Jin Wushu was different, but he himself did not neglect it at all. On the contrary, after the chisel was effective, Meng An, the chief under Wanyan Wushu, waited for a moment, and after seeing the surrounding situation clearly,
Without any hesitation, he once again ordered the entire army to gather together to pursue Wang Sheng's troops, who were the only ones in front who could maintain a somewhat compact formation.
This is a responsible performance by an excellent cavalry general, and it is also a natural choice... More than a thousand infantrymen walked away in confusion with almost the same number of cavalry on their backs, but they still barely maintained their formation. At the same time, the cavalry had broken through the blockade of the camp and entered.
In the wilderness, we should have swept away the large enemy forces that remained organized around the camp.
No matter from any angle, even out of human animal instinct, Puluhun had no reason to let go of this Song army.
Ever since, as Puluhun slightly raised his hand to signal, the black magpie flag began to waver vigorously in the center of the battlefield, causing the Jurchen cavalry who had succeeded in the attack to shout and scream, and they gave up attacking the defeated Song army on both wings of the front line.
And gathered under the flag again to fully form.
Immediately, as the flag slowly picked up speed for the second time, it continued to rumble eastwards!
On the river embankment, Yang Yizhong did not dare to be negligent in the slightest, but he also did not dare to act against Han Shizhong's arrangements at all. He got on his horse and personally held the flag with his head raised, staring at the situation in front of him. When the Jin Army's cavalry started again, the entire
After Tail was completely out of the camp, he no longer hesitated and waved the second yellow flag himself.
The yellow flag was waving and Wang Sheng, whose helmet had been knocked off, saw it from a distance. He immediately turned back on his horse, but couldn't help but smile bitterly... The cavalry of the Jin Army's brigade was biting behind him. These more than a thousand good men were basically infantry, and they fled.
In the middle, I am afraid that I will be hit from the back immediately, with heavy casualties. How can I make any effective tactical moves as planned? It would be good to escape with my life.
Of course, Wang Sheng, who has nine black dragons tattooed on his body, is Han Shizhong's confidant in the Chinese army after all. He has been in the army for more than ten years and has followed Han Shizhong all over the world. He still has determination and courage. In addition, he knew the arrangement early and knew better than anyone else.
It was clear where the slim chance of victory was. Therefore, in desperation, the King Black Dragon gritted his teeth and held back all his thoughts, and continued to lie on his horse and guide the entire army forward to the predetermined position.
During this process, the Jin Army cavalry had already caught up, and the screams came from far away. Wang Sheng lay on his horse, tears streaming down his face, almost forming a line along the horse's mane, but he didn't even dare to look back. He kept holding on.
When they arrived at the predetermined location, they reined in their horses and turned around. They took the flag and led the remaining troops to the north!
The Jin Army's cavalry momentum continued unabated, and the last organized Song Army infantry that had previously besieged the eastern camp was also severely damaged. The general named Wang under Wang Zi's banner, as the main general of the eastern siege, was also completely at a loss and diverted from the battlefield...
...It can be said that the Jin Army successfully charged again and completely wiped out the enemy to the east!
After this second attack, even Pulhun, who had always been cold-faced and cold-spoken, was trembling all over. He couldn't help shouting loudly on his horse, and felt that the depression of the past two months was almost gone.
However, at the next moment, when the Jin Army cavalry continued to swing eastward with the inertia of the horses, preparing to outflank Wang Sheng from the east side to the north... Suddenly, the Jin Army suddenly discovered that as Wang Sheng walked eastward,
, just at the eastern edge of the battlefield, a well-prepared crossbow position was revealed!
The Jin army was caught off guard and exposed their side to these crossbowmen!
That's right, this army is Han Shizhong's army to destroy the side forces. The number is nominally two thousand, but in fact the quota of 1,200 is slightly insufficient. Almost all use hard bows and large crossbows. The leader is called Jieyuan, who is from Han Shizhong's hometown.
, is also the most senior general under Han Shizhong. This person is under Han Shizhong, just like Wang Gui is under Yue Fei. Therefore, the elite of this army dare to fight, and they are rewarded, treated, and equipped with ordnance. Needless to say.
And when Jie Yuan saw that Wang Sheng had killed countless men and women and had just completed the task of luring the enemy, he did not hesitate at all. He raised his bow to defeat the enemy in person, asked the guards beside him to wave his flag, and directly ordered the release of the enemy.
arrow.
For a time, the enemy-defeating troops lined up in a line, and the scattered troops launched together, waist crossbows, double-flying crossbows, divine arm bows, Han Shizhong's self-developed enemy-defeating bow, basic divine arm bows, and even a bed crossbow, almost all of them were flat.
Thousands of arrows were fired in an instant!
A salvo of thousands of arrows may not sound as powerful as a salvo of ten thousand arrows, but firing a salvo at the flank of an unsuspecting cavalry at close range will cause astonishing damage.
Not to mention, at this time, the Jin army had not yet had time to digest the armor technology of the Song army craftsmen. Although everyone wore armor, the horses did not wear armor. And if the armored cavalry galloped and the horses were hit by arrows, how could the knights be lucky?
... Therefore, this round of more than a thousand arrows was actually aimed at the horses, and the Jin Army cavalry who were exposed in front of the enemy formation immediately fell over on their backs in a pool of blood!
It can only be said that the amount of blood loss of the war horse and the torment after being injured are much more exciting than the struggle of the Golden Knight itself.
Therefore, in this situation, the horses in the front were neighing and the wounded were wailing, but the Jin Army cavalry in the rear could not control their horses at all. There were even people further back who continued to scream strangely and roared to charge, but it caused another stampede.
In this way, the Destroying Army charged up a powerful attack, and with just one salvo, it caused the attrition of at least two to three hundred Jin Army cavalry in one encounter!
However, in the panic, the Jin army suffered heavy casualties due to a sudden attack. However, the general Puluhun remained calm despite his anger. He was the first to rein in his horse and seized it himself after confirming the battlefield situation at a glance.
The black magpie flag lowered the gleaming spearhead of the flag slightly towards the east, and then personally held the flag eastward to guide the cavalry... as if to destroy this audacious Song army!
After all, in his opinion, although the arrangement of the Song Army was excellent, the problem was that Wang Sheng was actually defeated when he pretended to be defeated on the way to lure the enemy. Without infantry support and outflanking, this elite crossbow army was in vain.
A life was lost in vain!
At the same time, according to the plan, the Destroying Army could have left immediately, but Jie Yuan Jie Shanchang (also known as Jie Yuan), who had just witnessed the Jin Army's cavalry killing Han Shizhong's troops in front, had no intention of leaving.
After Han Shizhong's most trusted confidant personally fired an arrow with his enemy-defeating bow, he saw that the Jin army was unwavering. Instead, they immediately adjusted themselves towards their own position without any intention of wavering.
On the contrary, at this moment, Jie Yuan glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw the red flag waving on the high ground on the river embankment in the distance. However, he actually lowered his head, ignored the approaching Jin army, calmly stepped on the enemy's bow, exerted his strength, and loaded the second crossbow bolt on the enemy's bow.
(Both the enemy-defeating bow and the divine arm bow are crossbows), then he raised it flatly again, and gestured with his mouth to the guard holding the flag beside him.
By the way, at this time, many knights of the Jin Army had already rushed to the distance of only a few dozen steps from the Zhanjun Army's position according to the order, and were preparing to shoot arrows. Seeing this situation, some people gritted their teeth and bravely moved forward, shooting arrows while successfully trampling on the Song Army.
On the battlefield, there were people who were almost terrified to death. They turned around and tried to escape without even using their bows and arrows!
No matter what, as the military flag with the word "Destroy" was waved forward and fell, the Song Army's second salvo was finally successfully fired... Although the effect was far less than the first round, it still gave the original total of only 1,500.
The Jin Army of Hundreds of Cavalry once again brought a huge attrition on the battlefield, and finally stopped the momentum of the Jin Army's cavalry for the second time!
In other words, when they protruded from the stronghold in front of them, they charged hard and were hit by volleys of bows and crossbows twice. The Jin Army cavalry were not immortals. So far, their combat power had dropped to barely a thousand.
The Song Army's cavalry had long been defeated... However, the Jin Army was good at fighting hard and adhered to strict military laws. They actually continued to move forward under the command of Puluhun, who had to change horses because his horse was hit by an arrow. The officer killed him.
Retreating recklessly, the ordinary knights stepped on the blood mixed with those of their comrades and those mounts, trying to force forward and trample this elite crossbow into the mud that they hated so much.
On the crossbow position, some of the troops who knew that there was no chance of a third round of cavalry shooting began to waver. However, the only leader of the army under the Second Army on the battlefield, General Jie Yuan, remained calm-faced, but under the gaze of thousands of people,
Next, Wu Zi abandoned his bow and arrow, drew his sword and jumped out of the position, destroying the military flag and immediately followed... When the surrounding sergeants saw this, their morale was greatly boosted, and they also followed suit!
Not only that, further north, Wang Sheng's military flag was also turning for some unknown reason.
A mere general, without saying a word, just drew his sword and moved forward, and actually let a crossbow army stand in front of the cavalry!
When Puluhun saw this general, he recalled what he had seen in the river that day, and he laughed angrily. Then he personally picked up the horse, held the flag like a spear, and came here to fetch this man himself!
Not to mention how the second general cheered up, don't forget that in fact, when the Jin Army suffered the first round of arrows, Yang Dalang of Yang Yizhong, who saw the Jin Army's charge stopped from a distance, could not wait to wave the red flag in his hand!
The reason why Jie Yuan was so calm and courageous was that he knew very well that as soon as the red flag waved, his brother Han Shizhong would arrive immediately. And since Han Shizhong arrived, with the enemy's army of only a thousand people, there would be no enemy in the world.
An insoluble battle!
Sure enough, Puluhun had just arrived at the front line in person, and before he engaged the Song generals, he instinctively noticed the tremors on the ground, and then his expression changed drastically... The previous Wang Sheng desperately turned the Jin army's head to the north; and then destroyed
The partial army fired twice, causing huge casualties to the Jin Army; the courage of the Song Army generals; coupled with the illusion that only the Jin Army itself had an organized cavalry on the battlefield... But this made this battlefield veteran ignore some things that should have been done.
Be aware of slight movements early.
At this time, after finally realizing that something was wrong, Puluhun was shocked to find that directly south of the battlefield, a cavalry group that should have been hiding behind the river embankment still crossed the river embankment and came to the flat ground, and had already speeded up!
And unlike the previous ignorance of Wang Sheng and Jieyuan, this cavalry with only about 700 or 800 people led two flags, a large flag with Korean characters and a military flag with Wei on its back. However, Puluhun knew the basics at a glance:
Among them, Beiwei is the Xixia people’s name for the bodyguards. It is not clear whether it is because the Xixia bodyguard cavalry often need to carry shields on their backs to accompany the generals, or whether they need to carry wine bottles as rewards at any time. It is not clear, but the Song Dynasty
The army fought countless battles with the Xixia army, and gradually became infected by culture. It is common to often name the pro-army soldiers after this. Puluhun fought countless battles with the Song army, so he naturally understands the meaning of betrayal!
As for the Han-character general flag, it goes without saying that he must be one of the two actual commanders of the Song Army. Han Shizhong came in person!
As for Han Shizhong, a famous general in the world, the Beiwei Army was the essence of an army... No matter how brave and proud Puluhun was, he would not underestimate the enemy. Not to mention that the Song Army's cavalry had already picked up speed at this time, and
The Jin Army's cavalry was successfully plotted again, and was stuck alive in front of the formation that was destroying the partial army, and it was difficult to turn back for a while.
At this moment, Puluhun made a decisive decision. He looked back and saw a general behind him, but he desperately shouted: "Ali no!"
"The end is here!" Ah Li responded immediately, not knowing the critical situation at hand.
"Take your own Muke, as well as the two Muke from Xiao Zunli who were previously assigned to you, and head south with me!" Puluhun shouted hoarsely.
Ah Li couldn't help but look at it. He knew Han Shizhong's name, and he also knew that Han Shizhong's 800 cavalry had been completed quickly. At this time, Puluhu asked him to meet three conspirators to defeat the enemy, basically asking him to be a human shield... However,
There was no room for hesitation on the battlefield. Out of the instinct of an outstanding soldier, he just looked at it instinctively and immediately ordered the three soldiers he led to head south to meet the enemy!
"The rest of you, don't worry about destroying the partial army. Turn a corner with me to the north, kill Wang Sheng, and then turn around to attack the Po Han Wu!" Puluhun saw that Ali did not accept the order, and
Feeling relieved, regardless of the rumble of horseshoes over there, the Song Army cavalry was about to rush forward as he spoke, but they struggled to hold their own black magpie flags between themselves, trying to mobilize the remaining troops to turn back!
However, he finally managed to contain the rest of the cavalry who had received military orders three times in a row. There were approximately five to six hundred people in total. They were about to circle back when they suddenly heard a deafening yet familiar noise behind them!
The rumble of cavalry stampede, the cry of killing, the neighing of war horses, the harsh sound of the intersection of gold and gold, the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground... You don't need to look at it to know that this is Han Shizhong's last fatal blow, and Ali is not with the three conspirators.
Damn, there is no hope of help.
However, Puluhun couldn't help but look back, and when he looked at it, he was immediately overjoyed. It turned out that although the three Mooke of Alibuna did suffer numerous casualties, they actually used their bodies to withstand Han Shizhong.
The charge of eight hundred Beiwei troops! The Song army's Korean-character banner and Beiwei army flag were simply isolated by Ali at a mere hundred steps away without risking his life!
"We Jurchens are really good men!" Puluhun's blood surged and he shouted repeatedly, but he continued to order the other cavalry to follow him back from the north.
However, before he could continue to rejoice, at the next moment, Puluhun could see that a Song Army general with a huge frame and a very strong body had already leaped out of Alibu's human formation, and this man was fully
With iron armor and a cowhide mask on his face, he was dressed almost like Pulukhun himself. Logically speaking, Puluhun could not recognize who this person was!
But for some reason, when General Song looked at him from a distance and raised his gun, Puluhun caught the other person's eyes like lightning and realized that this person must be Han Shizhong!
This person must be the culprit causing the current situation!
This person must be one of the two coaches of the Song Army!
This person must be the backbone of the new emperor of Zhao Song!
This man is the most brave and famous general in China at the moment!
If you kill this man, this war will end! You will also be famous among all nations in the world!
With a surge of blood in his head, Puluhun did not retreat but advanced. Instead, he held the flag like a flag gun with his arms, shouted loudly, and fought hard to go south, facing the Song general head-on!
Not only that, seeing the general's counterattack, more than a dozen guards also instantly realized the general's intentions and jumped on their horses to follow.
Han Shizhong, however, jumped out of Ali Burou's formation and saw the opponent's general responding to the challenge, leading more than ten cavalry. However, he did not say a word and only led three or five cavalry with an unabated momentum.
However, in the blink of an eye, the second general was the first to meet him. Han Shizhong gritted his teeth and tried hard to deflect the opponent's thick flag gun with his spear. Then he let go, dropped the spear, and slightly opened his right arm to press the opponent with his shoulder.
The flag and gun collided with the horse!
When the two horses met, Puluhun just felt the force on the flag gun loosen, and he was about to turn around and sweep away. Unexpectedly, Han Shizhong on the opposite side did not move his right arm, and directly followed the flag gun to hug Puluhun's entire waist, and then just said
He roared, and with a sudden pull... he actually pulled up the general of the Golden Army from his horse like a green onion!
The Puluhun man was in the air, his whole body was weak, and he felt horrified to death, but he didn't have time to think about it, he felt like a cloud and mist, and he was completely thrown out by the opponent, and then he fell alive in front of the iron spear and horse hooves of his own bodyguard behind him...
…Immediately I couldn’t get up anymore.
The surrounding Jin generals were dumbfounded, and once Puluhun disappeared on the battlefield with his banner, the Jin cavalry, which had already been exhausted and suffered heavy casualties, could no longer support itself. As Han Shizhongli ignored the people on the ground behind him,
They turned back to meet the cavalry on their backs. On the battlefield, the Jin cavalry finally took advantage of the situation and collapsed. Just as the Song army had demonstrated countless times before, they threw away their helmets and abandoned their troops, abandoning the battle and heading north in embarrassment!
At the same time, on the battlefield on the east side of the Jin Army's camp, Han Shizhong was originally under his command. As usual, he saw his commander's flag appearing at the forefront at critical moments, while the Jin Army's cavalry commander's flag faced him.
Disappeared, but how could he not know that Han Shizhong's plan was successful and that the battle had been won?
However, Han Shizhong defeated the thieves but continued non-stop. He led his army to the west. While converging the troops, he actually wanted to commit suicide in the empty Jin camp... As a result, the Song army that had been all over the country was defeated again, cheering and taking the initiative.
They gathered at the flag of the Han-character general. There were civilians on the Huaihe River in the distance clinging to the sails of boats to watch the battle. Yang Yizhong on the river embankment saw this and cheered together.
In the end, as Han Shizhong's march continued, it was like thunder, shocking the mountains and rivers!
On the westernmost side of the battlefield, several miles away, Zhao Guan's family looked at the stalemate in front of them. How did they know that this battle had been successful and that they were about to win a great victory?
On the contrary, when he heard the sound like thunder in the east, he became a little panicked, but finally couldn't help but speak... After all, the Yutang bachelor and the censor Zhongcheng and below naturally do not include the official family itself:
"Lin Qing, what do you think this sound is about?"
The scholar Xiaolin who was asked opened his mouth to speak, but as his mind was blank all morning today, he didn't know what to say at all, so he could only respond silently.
