163 The Heroic Soldiers of Every Country in the War
"Wan Yanyu (Pu Jianu) did not break out with the army. He and the armored cavalry stayed in the encirclement and broke up the rear." said an officer under Di Lei.
"What!" Di Lei cried out after hearing his subordinates' words. The leader of the Jin army did not break out but voluntarily stayed to break up the rear. This news was too incredible.
Di Lei thought for a while and said to the officer under his command: "Find a few other Jin Army generals to come out and compare their confessions to see if they are consistent." The results of the interrogation came out quickly, Wanyan Yu (Pu)
As expected, the family slave) did not break out, he was still fighting with the Jin Army's armored cavalry."
Di Lei frowned deeply. He was often by Zhao Zhen's side and learned many things from Zhao Zhen. He thought that since he had hunted him down, he would not go back.
If he can't capture Wanyan Yu (a slave of the Pu family), then let other generals take the credit. I heard from Xiao Derang that Shi Guduo, the chief general of the Jin Army's Hezhong Route Army, broke through with them, but he was
They got separated on the way. This was a big fish, and Di Lei decided to catch him! Special Forces Time Travel: The Prince of the Song Dynasty 163
Di Lei's pursuit did not stop until dawn the next day, when the sky in the east turned white. At this time, the pursuing soldiers and horses were so tired that they could not even lift their hands, and the soldiers ran until their faces were white and their lips were blue.
, if they were not worried about the rebellion of the Jin Army prisoners around them, they would all fall down on the spot and sleep.
Although he was tired, Di Lei's victory this night was very fruitful. He captured at least two thousand prisoners of the Jin army and killed thousands of enemies.
The sky is getting brighter, and the flames of war have gradually extinguished. The surroundings are filled with black smoke, discarded weapons, corpses, and burning baggage vehicles are piled everywhere, and everything is desolate.
The follow-up troops of King Xin's army have already followed, and groups of soldiers and generals of King Xin's army are searching everywhere on the battlefield. They are collecting the spoils of the Jin army and searching for the Jin army soldiers who have slipped through the net.
Although tired, King Xin's soldiers were very excited and kept chattering all the way. They gained a lot this night. Capturing prisoners and killing the enemy were equally effective. King Xin Zhao Zhen was generous and received generous military rewards for each unit. They captured a total of
Tens of thousands of Jin soldiers were captured.
King Xin Zhao Zhen, riding his horse and whipping his whip, looked around thoughtfully as he advanced on the battlefield. He was suppressing the excitement in his heart. The suffering of the Song Dynasty finally ended today! With the Jin Bing Hedong Route Army and Jing Zhao
The Lu army was completely wiped out. Now, I finally had the capital to compete with the main force of the Jin army.
In this battle, a total of nearly 70,000 Jin troops were wiped out, and the Jin army was unable to recover. The significance of this victory was not only military, but also political.
This battle was enough to avenge the repeated defeats for several years after the invasion of Jin soldiers. King Xin's army completely entered a state of all-out counterattack. The Song Dynasty could be proud and proud from now on with the help of King Xin's army.
The only thing Zhao Zhen is worried about is whether Wanyan Yu (Pu Jianu), who has been fighting with him since his debut, is dead?
A group of cavalry ran towards him, and Zhao Zhen recognized it as the White Tiger Army cavalry under his command. The leading general was Zhao Xiaodao. He waved to Zhao Xiaodao, who saw Zhao Zhen and hurriedly ran towards him.
"Your Highness!" Zhao Xiaodao's body was stained with blood, and even the clothes under his armor were coagulated with plasma. A pungent smell of blood and sweat came from him from a long distance away.
"Your Highness!" Zhao Xiaodao rode over and said with clasped fists. Zhao Zhen said: "What? Have Wanyan Yu (Pu Jianu) been caught?" Zhao Xiaodao shook his head and said: "Not yet, the two generals Di Lei and Meng Beast have already
The pursuit continues, but I don’t know if I’ve caught him or not.”
Zhao Zhen nodded and asked: "What's going on over there where the enemy is stubbornly resisting?"
Zhao Xiaodao reported: "We are still fighting now! The group of armored turtles of the Jin soldiers are still resisting our army, but now our Guards Brigade is still resisting. After most of the enemy troops retreated, the enemy's group of armored turtles also want to break out.
, but General Gao Pang and General Yan Chengfang, led by Lord Wang Jin, bit them to death and surrounded and drove them on a low-lying ground. They had no depth and could not run fast and could not deploy an armored cavalry charge formation."
Then, Zhao Xiaodao suddenly thought of something and continued: "By the way, later, General Niu Gao, General Niu Gao, General Wang Gui, and General Dong Xian also passed by, and the army from Yang Fan's side also came over, and Han Shunfu and Yu Hualong's
The soldiers and horses on the side also attacked."
"Seeing that there were more and more of us, the Iron Armored Army of the Jin Army knew that they couldn't escape, so they simply stayed there and stood there. They were surrounded by our soldiers and horses, and it was hard for them to fly!
"
"By the way, General Wu Jie and General Liu Qi from Zhang Jun's side are also here. They brought a total of 5,000 soldiers to support them. I have to say that all their soldiers are good men and they are all injured.
Fighting. Zhang Jun’s troops are only as effective as theirs."
"Generals Wu Jie and Liu Qi are here too!" Upon hearing the news, Zhao Zhen was overjoyed. He had an almost crazy desire to capture these two generals.
"Then let's go back quickly and destroy this famous armored army at any cost!" "Yes, Your Highness!" An excited smile appeared on Zhao Xiaodao's face. Special Forces Time Travel: The Prince of the Song Dynasty 163
He was gearing up and shouted: "Your Highness, now we are going to have a big fight! With so many people besieging us, the armored cavalry of thousands of gold troops can't escape even with three heads and six arms!"
Shi Guduo and Nie'er each escaped from the battlefield with one of their troops, but more Jin army troops were defeated, annihilated or surrendered by King Xin's army.
The various cavalry armies of King Xin's Army advanced rapidly, flying "into" everywhere on the battlefield, like a torrent of steel, blocking all the escape routes of the Jin Army. The morale of the various armies of King Xin's Army was high, and they advanced bravely.
Although the soldiers were tired after a night of bloody fighting, everyone knew that it was time to beat the dog in the water. To gain military honors and trophies, they had to rely on now.
Now, the surrounded Jin army has no hope of escape. These Jin soldiers who fought hard at the last moment of defeat are worthy of being the elite of the Jin Kingdom. Many Jurchen soldiers of the Jin army chose to die in battle rather than be captured. The scattered individual soldiers
The Jin Army's armored cavalry dismounted and formed large and small circular formations with large groups of infantry, shoulder to shoulder to resist King Xin's siege from all directions. King Xin's army kept using formations to strangle and attack the enemy, compressing the circle again and again.
, biting Jin Jun tightly like a gear.
King Xin's army used strong bows, powerful crossbows, artillery, carts, chariot formations, gun formations and other weapon formations to attack the enemy. Facing the Jin army's hedgehog-like circular formations, King Xin's army used large groups of armored cavalry and chariots.
The formations or pikemen rushed to kill, and the defensive circles formed by the Jin army were destroyed one after another. The Jin army soldiers were trampled to pulp by horses' hooves, stabbed down one after another by the forest-like formation of spears, and crushed by the impact of the galloping car formation.
pressure.
The soldiers on both sides were furious. When the remaining Jin soldiers resisted to the end and never surrendered, the soldiers of King Xin's army killed all the Jin soldiers without leaving any one behind.
The faces of the soldiers of the Song Army who assisted the Jin Army turned pale. They had rarely seen such a cruel war. They watched Xin Wangjun shouting to ensure the safety of the surrender of the Jin Army, but the Jin Army seemed not to have heard it and still Resisting regardless of life or death.
The officers and soldiers of King Xin's army were more powerful in combat. They charged towards Bai Qian with weapons in hand, using the most skilled combat skills and the most efficient killing formations to assassinate the enemy. The cruelty of the battle here was far better than the battles the Song army had ever seen. , both sides fought desperately, and under the one-sided massacre of the Jin Army soldiers by the superior Xin Wang Army, those Song soldiers were deeply shocked by the contempt for their lives by those women, and also deeply touched by the fighting power of their comrades in the Xin Wang Army. admire.
Whether they are the besiegers or the besieged resisters, both sides do not take their own lives seriously at all, and are fighting desperately, waving their weapons.
Because the Jurchens in the Jin Army knew that they had committed serious crimes on this land and their hands were bloody. Even if they surrendered, the Xinwang Army would not let them go. Therefore, these elite Jurchens in the Jin Army who were surrounded Soldiers rarely surrender. Even if the final defense circle is completely broken, even if they are alone, these Jurchen soldiers of the Jin Army are unwilling to surrender to the winner, but choose to die in battle.
The fiercest battle was still around the defense line of the Jin Army's armored cavalry. The Jin Army's "Iron Buddha", which was once invincible in the world, was surrounded here by King Xin's army and became a tiger without teeth.
The heavy armored cavalrymen of the Jin Army all carried maces. With a wave of their hands, the maces weighing dozens of kilograms were struck. The spearmen were immediately beaten until their bones were broken and their internal organs were broken, and they died.
From the beginning of the siege, the battles of breakout and counter-breakout never stopped. Those brutal and strong armored cavalry kept rushing into the defense line of King Xin's army, and they killed a few soldiers of Song Army and King Xin's army. However, then, With the artillery and chariot formations of the Xinwang Army joining the battle, many Jin soldiers and heavy armored cavalry were stabbed away by the spears on the chariots or bombarded by explosive bullets. Under the roar and spray of fire, these armored cavalry were stunned. The corpses piled up into a hill.
Although King Xin's army has achieved a comprehensive and absolute advantage, it is still helpless against the thousands of heavy armored cavalry who have formed a formation to defend. A hard attack is not impossible, but it will mean paying huge casualties. As for Zhao Zhen, It would be fine if zero casualties were not achieved, but he would not pay for heavy casualties.
Compared with the Song army under Zhang Jun, which was mostly reduced by the Jin army, the casualties of King Xin's army were very small. However, after the first attack on the heavy armored cavalry defense line was frustrated, King Xin's army immediately became cautious. Zhao Zhen personally commanded the artillery battalion. Form a formation with chariots to attack the enemy, and use gunpowder and chariots piece by piece to gradually eliminate the heavily armored soldiers of the Jin Army.
But the artillery powder was quickly used up, and there were still more than 3,000 stubborn armored soldiers on the battlefield. At that moment, a message came: "The Chinese army has arrived! Marshal Yue Fei has arrived!"
In the early morning, the rising sun illuminated the clouds in the sky a bright red. On the battlefield, there were piles of corpses, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood, which made people nauseated. Large groups of crows were flying around the battlefield, emitting Noisy strange screams.
From the east, where the sun rises, large numbers of King Xin's troops came in dense numbers. On the flag of this army of King Xin's troops was a big Chinese character "Yue".
"Commander Yue, the main camp of the Guards has moved north. His Royal Highness has sent a message, saying that he will greet you at the front."
"No need." Yue Fei said calmly: "The war is getting intense, so there is no need to go through those red tapes at this time. Just tell the officials in contact that I will go directly to the front line to meet the prince."
The guard officer received the order and was about to deliver it when he suddenly saw a group of soldiers and horses rushing in front. Seeing the flag of Commander-in-Chief Xin Wang flying above the soldiers and horses, he lost his voice and said: "Sir, His Highness is already here!"
After hearing this, Yue Fei's face was moved and he galloped out. Sure enough, the familiar figure in front of the soldiers and horses was not the Lord Zhao Zhen! The Prince of the Song Dynasty through the Special Forces 163
Both of them ran close quickly and dismounted at the same time. They looked at each other, their hearts surging and excited. For Yue Fei, his original wish to regain the lost territory and restore the Han Dynasty's great Song Dynasty had been fulfilled.
Halfway through, he was lucky to have followed the right master.
Zhao Zhen, on the other hand, was delighted that Yue Fei's ability was as good as history. In a short period of time, Yue Fei captured all the prefectures and counties south of Shizhou on the Hezhong Road, and surrendered hundreds of thousands of Jin troops, Han troops and a small number of Fan troops.
The record is impressive.
The two approached, and Yue Fei saluted Zhao Zhen in accordance with military regulations. Zhao Zhen smiled and hurriedly pulled him up. "The two princesses and the adults in the General's Mansion are very worried about the battle situation on your side and your safety.
I was ordered to come over and have a look. In fact, I am not worried at all because Your Majesty is personally in charge. Your Majesty, your civil and martial arts, can there be any other outcome other than a complete victory? But the General Commander's Office is pressing hard, and I will eventually be defeated.
I am so shameless that I can take advantage of you."
Yue Fei spoke in an understatement, but Zhao Zhen knew that the inside story was more than that. Yue Fei left behind hundreds of thousands of surrendered Jin Army soldiers, and he himself led the Chinese cavalry department to rush to the battlefield to see Yue Fei and the accompanying soldiers and horses.
He must have been traveling day and night without rest, as if he was tired from all the travel.
If it were not urgent, no one would be willing to do such a high-intensity rush march. Zhao Zhen knew that Yue Fei was preparing for a rainy day. He knew that the Jin Army on Jingbei Road was an elite division and came to meet Zhao Zhen to prepare for a joint attack on Wan Yan Yu (Pu Jianu).
). Of course, the urging military orders from the commander-in-chief’s palace and the two princesses’ wives were also a reason.
Yue Fei said: "Your Majesty, what's the situation?" "The Jin Army's Han army in Hedong Road was completely wiped out or surrendered. The Jin Army's Taimeng and Ashe Sali troops on Hedong Road were completely wiped out or surrendered. The Jin Army's Han Army in Jingzhao Road was completely wiped out or surrendered.
Surrendered, most of Nie'er's troops on the Hedong Road were captured or destroyed, and Shi Guduo's own army of the Jin army was defeated, with more than ten thousand people running away. Shi Guduo and Nie'er ran fast with their troops, but it is estimated that in Di Lei and the Beast
After the pursuit, there were only a few soldiers left. The main force of the enemy Jingzhao was surrounded by us, and most of the troops were completely annihilated and captured. Victory was only a matter of time.
Listening to Zhao Zhen's narration, looking at the terrifying battlefield with no end in sight, the piles of corpses, the broken spears "inserted" on the battlefield, even the rising sun was struck by this battlefield.
It was stained with a layer of blood red and slowly rose up. Yue Fei knew deeply that he had missed an extremely cruel bloody battle.
In the bright light of the morning light, people can clearly see this vast battlefield, from the foot of Chang'an City to the vast and stretching main battlefield. There are burning tents and baggage everywhere, and human and horse corpses pile up in mountains. In this bloody battlefield
On the battlefield, the corpses of the Jin and Song armies can be seen as far as the eye can see.
Not only did Yue Fei arrive with 20,000 elite cavalry, but more importantly, they brought a large amount of gunpowder, cannonballs and ballistae.
There was no longer any need for infantry troops to enter the battlefield. Under the bombardment and shooting of artillery, ballistae and catapults, the hastily built positions of the Jin soldiers' heavy armored cavalry disappeared in an instant. Under the dense slings, artillery shells and giant Under the attack of the crossbows, the Jin Army's armored cavalry who had planned to defend could no longer resist. They rushed out of their positions and swarmed out.
"Wind up!" The sharp arrows were pressed into the crossbow box row by row, and the strings were pulled hard with a special steel spring. A harsh sound of steel spring gears on the strings could be heard. A loud command sounded from the position. From time to time, there were sounds from everywhere: "Fire!" A harsh sound of wind sounded, and all the crossbow machines fired at full speed.
Under the impact of this metal storm, the charging armored cavalry group all fell to the ground like wheat, with dust flying. Thousands of armored cavalry fell down unwillingly, rolled over, and suffered broken bones and tendons.
The fierce artillery fire spewed out like an erupting volcano, and dense and uninterrupted flames poured metal flames towards the armored cavalry. The waves of fire brought them horrific death, screams and blood.
For this group of mace-carrying Jin Army armored cavalry, the most powerful melee unit in the cold weapon era, the artillery fire, the attack of the ballista and the crossbow bed was simply a one-sided massacre.
The whole country was filled with sorrow, and the injured and dead Jin Army armored cavalry were lying on the road. Those powerful armored cavalry would not give in even if they were injured. As long as they had breath, they would continue to move forward. They were facing the rain. As they advanced in front of the arrows, dense stones, tiles, iron filings, and fire bombs rained down from above their heads without stopping. The closer they got to the position of King Xin's army, the more intensive the attacks became. The fallen Jin army The soldiers became more dense.
Suffering a terrible blow, these Jurchen warriors are still moving forward. They line up neatly and look calm. Their companions fall around them one by one, but they still move forward fearlessly and are loyal to the Kingdom of Jin and Wanyan Yu. So that they are not afraid of death.
But in the battle presided over by Zhao Zhen himself, King Xin's army did not even give the Jin army a chance to fight in hand-to-hand combat. All the Jin soldiers could only fall down powerlessly in front of those whooshing and screaming flying iron flames.
Almost all the Jin soldiers were defeated, and all the Jin soldiers were running away. Only the armored cavalry continued to advance, and no one hesitated or was timid. This army was willing to die. This army was the Iron Army that destroyed Liao and invaded Song. !
Braving the rain of arrows and shells, the soldiers of the Jin Army's Iron Armored Army fell to the ground one after another. Their bodies were covered with brown earth, and their blood was poured into the wilderness that did not belong to them.
The generals of King Xin's army all stood on high ground, holding their breaths, watching the enemy's formation from the spectacular charge at the beginning until only a few were killed in the end.
