What bothered Wanyan Zongbi was more than that, because above their heads, there was always the strange golden and iron bird of the Song Dynasty following them.
And it’s not just one. According to the messenger who came back, he quickly replied that there was one of those iron birds in the sky above every prefectural-level cavalry team.
It seems that just as Wan Yan's mother guessed, these iron birds are controlled by people. They actually know how to change and follow each other. They fly high and cannot be shot at all.
And this also means that the direction of their attack has always been controlled by the Song people, which is very uncomfortable. After so many years of being a cavalry and fighting in wars, for the first time, he feels like telling others how he wants to fight.
"Wu Shu, you are worrying too much. According to the intelligence from the Song Dynasty and the evidence from the scouts, the Forbidden Army and the West Route Army in Bianjing have been transferred out since yesterday afternoon.
Now they have more than 100,000 elite soldiers at Moutuogang, which is far more than 20 miles away from Bianjing. If they want to come back, except for the tens of thousands of cavalry, the infantry will not be able to come back within two hours.
Two hours to capture Bianjing, which is guarded by no elite soldiers, and Deng Gui and others help to open the city, is enough. We can even take half of the people and go back to capture the emperor of the Song Dynasty."
Wanyan's mother heard her worries and said nonchalantly. She stretched out her hand and started to signal the messengers, asking the cavalry who had been riding for twenty miles to slow down, pause, rest and make final preparations.
Cavalry charges are often not a one-time charge, because horses have limited endurance and it is impossible to hit the ground for several miles at extreme speed.
Therefore, they need to start here, let the horses rest and pause, and prepare their armor at the same time, and then slowly accelerate towards the direction of the remaining troops in Bianjing City.
The scout team in front also ran towards them with flags, which meant that there was only six miles left to the Bianjing moat and the outer defense area of the Bianjing city garrison.
Whether Bianjing's city defense layout has changed from last night's layout should have been marked by informants, and there will be guidance on which gate to dismount from and attack the city.
As thousands of Jin soldiers put on iron armor and tied their horses' heads and legs with leather, heavy cavalry appeared outside Bianjing City, a military unit that frightened the people of the Central Plains.
There are even a hundred iron pagodas lined up in the middle. They are the real battlefield tanks of the Jin Dynasty during the Song Dynasty. No horse-repelling shields, as long as they are not city walls, can withstand the impact of the iron pagodas.
"General, all the prefectures and armies are ready. There are only more than 20,000 defenders in Bianjing now. The New Song Gate has been taken care of. All the forbidden troops in the city are doing business outside the city, and no one is guarding the city."
"Well, let brothers...
What's going on? What are you arguing about???"
"General, look to the north! North! There are so many big grasshoppers in the sky in the north!!!!"
…
In the Royal Army Camp, which is Mazi Mountain, or in other words, the Mazi Slope area, the last Jin cavalry with a size of ten thousand people galloped past. Just as they promised, the Jin people, for the Royal Army camp one mile away,
Don't even look at it.
Gahamuze and Wulin Dakeguo were sitting in front of the campfire with their respective generals. The calm inside the Royal Army camp and the deliberate display of nervousness and fear made them completely relax their vigilance. After all, those performances were scary.
The people who were recruited were professional, and they were all deserters selected from the battlefields of the Song and Jin Dynasties.
"Oh, it's a pity that we can't all go together to kill the Song people. We are guarding this group of Niaoxiang troops here, but we can't kill them and ask them to surrender?
Let me tell you, the commander-in-chief and the others were still too careful. Do the people of Song Dynasty have to be so cowardly that they dare to use force against the Jin Dynasty? What's the benefit of surrendering to these cowards?"
"There is a saying in the Central Plains, be careful when sailing a thousand-year-old ship. Besides, why not stay here? No matter how bad the Xiang army is, they will still cause us casualties.
The three of us stay here, we can completely preserve our strength, and when the general sends someone to call, we can directly go to Bianjing of the Song Dynasty to rob, rob..."
Gahamu was frustrated and thought it over, flipping the barbecue and saying, but when he looked behind Ulin Dakeguo, his voice suddenly stopped and he began to observe carefully.
"Alert! Alert! Alert!
Immediately send a message to the general that the defenders of Mazi Mountain are taking action, and detailed battle reports will be sent later! Please be careful, general, that there may be changes in the imperial city of the Song Dynasty."
Gahamutu was still trying to enlighten Wulin Dakeguo, who was unable to make meritorious deeds, when he suddenly discovered that the 'Song Army' on the opposite side had actually started making unknown moves.
Moreover, it was a collective action, stretching for several miles. There was no sound of drums or horns, but they started moving almost at the same time. It was such a spectacular sight that Gahamuzu could not ignore it.
After receiving the alarm horn, all the Jin people mounted their horses and raised their bows at the same time. The Meng'an Department, dominated by soldiers from three prefectures and counties, totaled less than 3,000 people. Facing the tens of thousands of Xiang troops, no matter how little they looked down upon,
There is also a warning of being bitten.
After all, they don't know what weapons are actually ambushed on the opposite side. What if there are tens of thousands of crossbows? Then they must not be shot through? Although this possibility is almost 0.
The Royal Army's Jiajiang defense line, which was originally along the north side of the river bank and stretched for five miles on the side of Mazi Mountain, was now quiet. The Royal Army officially took action, with whistles, horns, walkie-talkies, and roll calls, heard across a mile of ground.
Noisy sounds can also be heard outside.
"what are they doing?"
"I can't see clearly, hiss... The people of Song Dynasty started to form an array. In less than ten breaths, the array has been completed?
Immediately continue to send the message to the general and the general! The Song army here is definitely an elite, this is an ambush! This is an ambush!"
As soon as he finished speaking, something even more shocking happened to a group of Jin soldiers. At the foot of Mazi Mountain, along the Royal Army's defense line, a row of large shovel trucks that they couldn't understand, but that could arouse physical fear, rushed out.
There were more than a dozen of these carts, puffing out black smoke, and effortlessly flattening the earthen wall that the Royal Army had set out last night. They pushed all the way, and any anti-horse and anti-cavalry facilities along the road were flattened.
The unobstructed infantry camp was extremely advantageous for Gahamutu and the others, but Gahamutu showed an expression uglier than crying because that big forklift was obviously too invincible.
Five miles away from the Jin people's remaining troops, the sound of motorcycle engines sounded in unison, and the neatly parked three bungees began to be pulled out in order, rotating their wings, and at the same time accelerating towards the bottom of the mountain, or down the pockmarked slope.
In addition to the driver, there were two soldiers in the back seat, both carrying squad machine guns and rocket launchers. There were two tubes next to the sidecars. Their mission was, of course, to give the Jin Army a small shock.
Just a little bit, not much...
"twenty!"
"forty!"
"sixty!"
"Eighty! Eighty? Counting the big ones, it's a total of ninety!"
Gahamuzu's eyes were stunned. All the remaining Jin soldiers pointed in the air in confusion. The flying distance of three hundred meters was beyond the reach of bows and arrows, but it was the killing distance of machine guns and rocket launchers in one second.
The Jin Army had not yet experienced the power of thermal weapons, but the sight of three flying bunkers carrying people, and a larger armed helicopter leading the way, made them feel that their world view had been subverted.
"The people of Song Dynasty have divine help!"
"What a big locust! What a big locust! How did the people of Song Dynasty ride on such a big locust? Aren't they afraid that they will eat it?"
"Chief, what should we do? These giant locusts have led the Song people to attack the general. Can the army's sharpshooters shoot them?"
"You can definitely hit it! Don't be afraid, everyone. No matter how big the beast is, can it be as big as the largest sacred eagle your Majesty shoots?
Bukahehe is protecting us. No matter how big these locusts are, they can't defeat the general's tens of thousands of troops. Now the Song people don't seem to be in a hurry to attack us. Let's wait and see."
Gahamuzu looked at the flying three-bouncer formation and the armed helicopter formation that were flying quickly through the air. Seeing that they didn't pay attention to his side, he couldn't help but look at the Song people's position.
However, they found that the formation of the Song people was changing again. Behind the large carts that were flattening the earth walls, square box carts that also did not use horses but ran very fast were speeding toward the Guangji River in formation.
With just one glance, Gahamuzu understood that these Song people were actually preparing to form an interception belt to block them from the passage between Mazi Mountain and Guangji River!
If this passage is blocked, they can only pass through the south side of Guangji River by crossing the river. Otherwise, breaking through the cavalry position will cause the greatest damage to the strength, so he must stop the Song people's interception strategy.
But faced with this style of play, he didn't know how to break it.
"There are still people on their left! Send an order! Make a surprise attack over there and break through the siege here. You should immediately send an order to the general, telling him that if things change, he must not go this way unless we send people there again!"
Gahamuzu looked far to the left at the foot of the mountain. On the position behind the earthen wall that had been flattened by bulldozers, except for some soldiers lining up, there seemed to be no large iron carts.
Persimmon was very picky. The truck was so big and ran so fast. He decided that if he used horses to attack, it might not be big enough to hit him.
After judging the strength of his opponent, he decided to test the water with this group of strange infantry of the Song Army first, so that the army began to turn and prepare to break through the defense.
A mile away, Xing Feiyue climbed on the temporary watchtower, keeping his telescope pointed at Gahamutu, who was leading the battle, and observing Gahamutu's movements.
"It would be nice if there was someone who could lip-read Jin people. I heard that some people in Jinyiwei can lip-read."
"Captain, those who can lip read are the special talents His Majesty said, so don't even think about it.
But the movement of the Army Air Force and the transport team is so loud, it should scare them away to Wanyan Wushu, right?"
"It should be possible. After all, if we had seen Jiannu with these things before, other than running and defending, I can't think of any point in attacking, and there would be no need to fight at all."
Xing Feiyue continued to observe and found that Gahamuzu actually looked over. He was stunned for a moment. Then, he found that Jinren's team of less than 3,000 people actually started to shape up towards him.
"Good guy! What a happy event!
Tell my brothers! The first job is here, and we are not robbing China Airlines of doing it! It is the first job sent by the Jin people themselves. If we don’t want it, it would be a waste of the Jin people’s good intentions.”
"The independent platoons of each company of the first and second battalions are ready for battle! The musketeers are preparing for three-stage firing! The machine gunners are preparing ammunition, and the howitzers are aiming three hundred meters away from the position and are preparing! Do you want to enter the musketeers' beam and then attack across the entire line?"
"preparation!"
Listening to the sound of the trumpet, the Royal Army soldiers began preparations one after another. They stuffed projectiles and gunpowder into the breech and pressed them tightly with the bar.
The machine gunners did everything they could except insurance. There were more than a thousand people, and they were drawn into several formations. Later, they were all arranged horizontally and vertically, and they all looked at the shadowy Jin Army cavalry five hundred meters away.
Only a few minutes passed. Under the sound of the horn, the Jin army began to speed up their horses, intending to break through the Royal Army's defense line without a barrier, but the Royal Army's...
Accompanied by the blasts of artillery, there were still 300 meters away from the Royal Army's defense line. They had already begun to draw their rifles and prepared to fire a wave of arrows. Then the Jin army who broke through the defense line was blinded.
As they sprinted, there were dozens of thunderous sounds, echoed by the sounds of horses neighing and people screaming.
Three cavalry sprint regiments with hundreds of people lined up and hundreds of meters deep appeared in more than ten circles in an instant. The golden soldiers behind them had no time to slow down and could only jump over the corpse of the person who had just been killed by the explosion.
Gahamuzu felt a pain in his stomach, thunder rang in his ears, and the horse neighed as if he was frightened and began to run uncontrollably, which made the fire in his heart get stronger and stronger.
By turning his head, he seemed to understand something. In the direction of the deafening thunder, there were actually dead bodies lying on the ground, and Ulin Dakeguo, who was not far away from him, had been thrown to the ground by his horse.
The Song position in front of him was getting closer and closer, but Gahamutu lost his previous excitement and was instead filled with fear, because the army in front of him remained motionless in the face of the cavalry charge.
Only the most elite infantry can do this. The Song people placed an elite unit that could compete with the cavalry in the defense change area that they had explored in advance. So what was going on over there with the Song people?
"preparation!"
"Prepare for three shots!"
"Hit people with muskets, and shoot horses with machine guns. Don't do it the other way around. Do you hear me? Fire! Let the Jin army have a feast!"
The sound of muskets, the smoke rising from muskets, and the sight of machine gun shells flying away filled the Royal Army camp.
Correspondingly, there were three groups of cavalry still charging in different formations. The horses neighed, and the Jin Army cavalry fell like waves of wheat.
The Jin soldiers, who were sitting upright on their horse stirrups and aiming their bows in the direction of the Royal Army, were shocked by the explosion and were shot by muskets before they could react.
The horses beneath him were also shot by machine gun bullets, and all those in rows who appeared in the Royal Army's flat shooting area were hit by bullets.
Suddenly, the one who was shot lay down on the horse in pain, the one who was shot missed and shot the arrow in advance. After being shot, the nerve center was protected and there was no feeling, but the scene of the horse being knocked over and falling became the scenery of the Jin army.
Before Gahamuzu noticed it, he felt a cold feeling in his stomach again. This time he looked down and found that his leather armor actually had two holes.
This is not the key. The key is that if there are holes, it means something has gotten in.
The protection of the nerve center failed, and Gahamutu began to feel the pain in his stomach. He couldn't bear it anymore and instantly collapsed on his horse. Then, he saw his horse's head explode.
Hongbai was instantly scattered all over him, and Gahamuzu also flew into the air. Then, he felt like his chest was exploding.
"Damn it! There's a flying golden man!"
"Is this an explosive bomb used by snipers?"
He seemed to hear voices two hundred meters away, and there was no more sound in the world.
