Chapter 61: Qiu Sha
The next day, the brigade of Jin soldiers gathered on the easternmost bank of the Cai River. The Cai River has two east banks.
The Cai River flows in the south of Bianliang as a "ji", first flowing from south to north, entering Bianliang City from Guangli Water Gate, turning east in front of the imperial city, parallel to the imperial city wall, and then turning south and flowing out of the Puji Water Gate. Therefore, the day before yesterday, Gu Nan crossed the Cai River and arrived at the east bank of the Cai River, that is, the shape of the "ji". Today, Meng'antribu, under Olibu, gathered in the southeast corner of Bianliang, and the outermost side of the east side of the Cai River.
Hu Yangeng, Wu Ge and others saw the actions of the Jin soldiers in the Wanglou. Wu Ge asked, "What is the Tatar chief who is not the one who is not the one who is the one who is going to do?"
"Is it necessary to attack from the southeast corner?" Hu Yangeng also felt strange. If the Jin soldiers attacked the east, they could launch an attack after coming out of the camp. However, the Jin soldiers had no camp in the south and had no cover when they gathered. So until now, Wang Bing's Shenwu Southern Army had not encountered a frontal attack from the Jin soldiers, except for the protruding parts on the west bank of the Cai River.
Hu Yangeng and Wu Ge rode to the southeast corner of the city wall and looked into the distance. They found that a large group of civilians gathered three or four miles away from the city. These civilians seemed to be carrying some equipment, but they did not look like goose cars or cave cars for siege. After a while, Hu Yangeng shouted in surprise: "They are camping."
Hu Yangeng really didn't expect that the Jin soldiers would camp in front of the two armies. "They finally want to block the south."
Wu Ge smiled and said, "Look at Wang Jieshuai's methods."
Sure enough, a commander rushed out of the trench of the Shenwu South Army and advanced towards the group of civilians, trying to drive the camping civilians to drive them away. But the commander was about to approach the group of civilians, and was caught up by the light cavalry of Terrybu. The commander had to form a formation on the spot to resist the attack of the enemy cavalry.
"It was indeed the Khitan cavalry." Hu Yangeng and Wu Ge both saw that using light cavalry to surround the infantry formation and harass the flaws was the Khitans' approach, unlike the Jurchen cavalry who rushed desperately.
Wu Ge watched for a while, "The Shenwu Southern Army formed a formation and was indeed strict. The Khitans had been circling around the formation for so long, but they still had no flaws. Several people were shot off the horse. Only five hundred people were besieged by one Meng'an. After a long time, I'm afraid I can't hold on."
Hu Yangeng said: "No hurry, let's look at Zhonglian's methods."
Sure enough, five hundred cavalry rushed out of the Song army and rushed straight to the Khitan light cavalry. Judging from the flag, the commander was Yang Kefa. At this time, a team of cavalry emerged from somewhere and fought with Yang Kefa's troops.
Hu Yangeng looked in the direction of the cavalry and found that behind a mound, the Jin soldiers' armor could be vaguely seen.
"The golden thief still hold back?"
As we were thinking about it, five commanders of the Shenwu Southern Army suddenly came out one after another. One of the commanders saw that the banner was Lu Zhishen, and Hu Yangeng, the other four commanders, had no impression of the banners. He should have not led them directly before.
These five infantry commanders still have to rescue the original commander of the Song army. At this time, a team of Jin soldiers came to fight with these five commanders.
Hu Yangeng was surprised that both sides seemed to play chess, and neither of them tried their best, but instead they were Duizi one by one. In theory, the Song soldiers were the defensive side, so it would be fine to do so. The Jin soldiers were the attacking side. They did not concentrate their troops to focus on breakthroughs, but instead slowly added fuel to the battlefield south of Bianliang City. It was a bit unreasonable...
Wu Ge suddenly shouted: "General, the Jin thief wants to lure our main force out of the trenches and fight with our army."
Only in this way is the only possibility that the Jin soldiers hid the main force at the beginning because they were afraid of scaring the Song soldiers back.
Wu Ge urged anxiously: "Master, should you report to Wang Shuai?" It is said that the city defense in the south is under the jurisdiction of Wang Bing, and Hu Yangeng's rank is higher than Wu Ge, but Wu Ge did not shy away and suggested to Hu Yangeng in this way.
Hu Yangeng said: "Wang Shuai was old in the army, and Zhong Lian has always been cautious and will not be wrong."
With the two of them talking, the Song army invested ten commands on the southern battlefield, and six Jin soldiers also entered the battlefield. More than 10,000 people on both sides were entangled like bamboos.
Hu Yangeng knew the foundation of the Shenwu Southern Army. There were 40,000 people in total, but 20,000 people could only hide in the trenches and shoot arrows without going through the battle formation. Now ten commanders fought in the trenches, accounting for one-quarter of the powerful army.
Hu Yangeng suddenly realized that he had calculated one step less. The four men in charge of the four walls of the Song army were in charge of one side. Now the battle with the Shenwu South Army in the south of the city was the Eastern Army of Olibu. If Wuli had a spirit, he could throw more than 100,000 Eastern Army into the south of the city, but Wang Bing could not dispatch the Song army from the east, north and west to support him, and even Zhang Shuye could not be transferred.
There is one worse thing. The Nianhan's Western Route Army is still attacking the protruding parts of the west bank of the Cai River, which restrained at least one-quarter of the Shenwu Southern Army.
At this time, the situation on the battlefield changed again. The Jin soldiers who were already in the battlefield had already had a banner of Meng'an, but they were all under Meng'an with less than a thousand people, and there were more than ten thousand people. The Song army was concentrated in Bianliang City, and the troops in Caihe were not inferior to those in the shape of "Ji".
Hu Yangeng looked west, and the Gu Nan tribe of the Nianhan Army seemed to have crossed the Cai River and entered the south of Bianliang.
The Song and Jin armies were mixed together, and no one could escape easily. Whoever retreated first would be covered by the other party. The 20,000 people on the battlefield were like weights placed on the gambling table, either winning the big one or losing all.
On the city tower at Nanxunmen to the south, Qiu Muling Zhonglian was always commanding with his banner. Puluru Bosheng had already raised his banner and arrived at the center of the battlefield. The Song army on the battlefield was fighting and walking, moving closer to Puluru Bosheng.
Now a roughly circular formation has been formed around Puliuru Bosheng, with tens of thousands of Song troops being besieged by approximately the same number of Jin soldiers. Because of the formation, the Song army's losses are even smaller.
At this time, it was already past. After two more Meng'ans were thrown into the battlefield, the Jin soldiers found that the Song army did not continue to add fuel to the oil. At this time, a large group of Jurchen cavalry emerged further south. The gathering ground of these cavalrymen was very far away, and the catapults on the city would definitely not be able to hit them.
"The Tartars are going to let go of the victory and defeat." Hu Yangeng told Wu Ge. He knew that Wang Bing had about 10,000 people to add to the battlefield, and then he filled in 20,000 mobs, and then... nothing. Compared with the Jin soldiers, the Song army originally wanted to make up for it through trenches, but today it seemed to have failed.
At this time, the Jin soldiers in the distance began to slowly gallop towards the battlefield. The Song army's catapult also began to fire mud bombs, but the mud bombs could only be estimated to attack the Jin soldiers' path. However, the Jin soldiers used sudden acceleration and deceleration, thin formation and other methods to lightly avoid the interruption of the catapult. The first formation of Jin soldiers began to accelerate the charge, and the Jin soldiers who were attacking the south of the circular formation slid to both sides like flowing water.
The first iron cavalry of the Jin soldiers was about to hit the south of the Song soldiers' round formation, but the two commanders in front of the Song soldiers also retreated to both sides with the Jin soldiers. The round formation seemed to open a door.
The Jin soldiers' cavalry had reached the front of the formation, and the speed had already increased. It was too late to turn or slow down. Moreover, a row of boxes of cars were pushed into the Song army's formation, which looked like a car array. So, Tiefutu just crashed into it from here.
So the tail end of the Sancai Formation gradually closed, and the cavalry entered through the gap and headed straight to the box cart in front. It was so strange that there was no spear above the formation... A flash of fire flashed in front of me, thousands of cannons roared, and smoke was shrouded.
"Fireworks?" Wu Ge, who was watching the game in the southeast corner, asked, "Fireworks of the Lubo Team."
"Yes, the one who led the team was the fireworks commander of the Lubo team, Wei Dingguo, known as the General of the Divine Fire." Hu Yangeng explained, "Each box car connects forty large two-chaps in parallel, called Kaqiusha."
Twelve box trucks, nearly 500 two kicks, have been released. The more than 600 cavalry of the first Jin army formation have been completely in chaos. The front team hit the back team, half of the cavalry were knocked to the ground, trampled to death by the chaotic horse hooves, and half of them were dizzy. They were attacked and killed by the Song soldiers in the inner formation. It seems that they will be killed in no time.
The back formation followed a large group of Jin cavalry, led by Chi Zhanhui. He responded to the situation. Although he saw that the first formation was chaotic by fireworks and was about to be destroyed, it was true that the Song army's round formation had a missing mouth. He immediately commanded the cavalry and continued to approach the gap of the Song army's round formation, and then spread it to the two wings, which was equivalent to wandering along the inside of the Song army's round formation.
Qiu Muling Zhonglian, who was commanding on the top of the city, was stunned. The Jin soldiers were frightened by the sudden fireworks and did not collapse. He quickly turned sideways and reported to Wang Bing who was sitting aside: "Please allow the last general to go to Leping to rush forward." Bu Lugu Leping has five hundred iron cavalry under his command.
On the southeast city tower, Hu Yangeng explained to Wu Ge: "The fireworks are still too weak, and the gunpowder needs to be improved. According to Geng's thoughts, thousands of large fireworks flew towards the enemy's formation, and solved the enemy like the autumn wind swept away fallen leaves, so it was called 'Autumn Evil'."
"Then why do you add the word "card" in front of it?"
Hu Yangeng was speechless for a moment and thought to himself: "Wu Ge, you are a person listed in "History of the Song Dynasty. Biography of Zhongyi". He is actually quacking with words. So much nonsense, what does the word "ka" have to do with you?" He became wise in a hurry and said: "ka is a level, and one man should be a level that cannot be opened by tens of men."
"Kaqiusha, it's really a good name." Wu Ge exclaimed, "It's only time to improve it over time, it will definitely be a powerful weapon for the country."
While he was talking, he saw a commanding cavalry rushing out of the Yujinyuan camp, and Wu Ge said, "Is this a serial horse passed down by the Lord's family?"
"My uncle commented that the heat has not arrived."
Bu Luguleping's cavalry rushed into the battlefield and broke up one of the Jin soldiers and rushed on the battlefield. The Jin soldiers had to dispatch three Meng'an cavalry to chase him. For a moment, Bu Luguleping disrupted the periphery of the Jin soldiers.
The flag on the top of the city was shaking, and the commander of the bannerman had been replaced by Wang Bing.
