Wanyan Wushu led 80,000 gold soldiers and stopped two miles away from the Western Army. He did not shout slogans, but calmly observed the formation and arms of the Western Army. The Western Army was a mixture of infantry and cavalry.
In the middle is the infantry, where the king's flag is located. About 50,000 people are neatly arranged in a large square formation. In the front are 10,000 heavy armored infantry, and behind are 10,000 crossbow troops.
On the left and right sides are spear troops, each with ten thousand men, and thousands of scouts scattered around.
The remaining fourteen armies were divided into three parts, the left and right armies and the rear armies. They were all cavalry, wrapping the fifty thousand infantry in the middle.
Wanyan Wushu squinted his eyes and stared at Chen Qing, who was wearing a golden helmet and armor.
He knew that as long as he killed this person or captured this person, all the crises in the Jin Kingdom would be solved.
Wanyan Wushu finally couldn't resist this temptation.
"Where is General Suoli Yishi?" Wanyan Wushu shouted sharply.
Suoli Yishi came forward and bowed and saluted, "The general will be here!"
"I appoint you as the commander-in-chief of the right wing. You will lead 20,000 cavalry to attack the main formation with all your strength. No matter what the circumstances, you are not allowed to change the target, you are not allowed to retreat, and you are not allowed to retreat. Attack with all your strength!"
"The general will obey the order!"
Wanyan Wushu glanced at Wanyan Suolin, the Commander of Ten Thousands, and ordered: "Where is General Suolin?"
"The general is here!" Wanyan Solin shouted and stepped out to receive the order.
"I will give you 20,000 cavalry for your left wing. They will also attack the enemy's infantry formation. Just like the right wing, you are not allowed to change the target or retreat. With one force, you can defeat the Western Army's infantry formation."
"Follow the order!"
Wanyan Wushu arranged the generals one by one. Finally, he took a deep look at the opponent's camp and shouted loudly: "Kill Chen Qing, make him the prince of Wanhu, and reward him with a million taels of silver!"
He shouted, "Iron Buddha attacks!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Five hundred large drums beat at the same time, and the sound of the drums was earth-shattering, causing the heaven and earth to change color. The Jurchen cavalry split like water waves and dispersed to both sides. A group of iron pagoda heavy cavalry appeared, all wearing heavy armor.
Spear.
Wanyan Wushu suddenly shouted, "Kill!"
"Kill!"
Amidst the soul-shaking drum beats, five thousand iron pagoda heavy-armored cavalry suddenly launched into action. The sound of horse hooves made the earth tremble. The cavalry was so murderous that it swept towards the center of the Western Army with an invincible force.
Chen Qing had already taken off his golden helmet and armor, put it on by one of his own soldiers, and rode under the king's flag to attract enemy fire.
He himself appeared in the Hundred Drums Formation on the left wing, wearing an iron helmet and iron armor, holding a Fangtian painted halberd. In fact, all the soldiers of the Western Army recognized their lord from the Fangtian painted halberd.
Chen Qing watched calmly as the iron pagoda heavy armored cavalry appeared in the enemy's formation. The enemy actually used the iron pagoda as the vanguard to attack his own formation, which meant that the crossbowmen were ineffective.
Although the Western Army had bed crossbows to deal with Iron Buddha's heavy armored cavalry, they did not carry them this time. However, Chen Qing still prepared ways to deal with Iron Buddha.
Chen Qingdang immediately ordered: "Push the troops to block it, switch the crossbow troops, and prepare the spear troops!"
The 10,000 crossbowmen immediately shouldered their crossbows, picked up their spears, and transformed into a spear corps. The Western Army stood ready to withstand the first wave of Jurchen cavalry.
The Tiefutu heavy armored cavalry were not fast, their strength lay in their strength. The Western Army immediately pushed hundreds of carts forward, which were supply carts carried by the Liao and Western Army, filled with bags of soil.
As soon as the cart was set up, a frenzy of heavily armored cavalry from Tiefu Tu rushed over. Hundreds of armored horses were knocked down by the cart, and everyone was turned upside down.
However, the powerful force brought by the five thousand iron pagoda heavy armored cavalry still smashed hundreds of carts into pieces, and the five thousand iron pagoda heavy armored cavalry rushed into the Western army's formation.
But the first thing they encountered was not the attack of heavy armored infantry, but the surprise attack of five thousand lancer soldiers.
The five thousand spear-throwing troops are well-trained and have a neat lineup, which gives them superior combat capabilities in formation. They are the trump card against the iron pagoda's heavy armored cavalry.
The commander of the capital, Zhang Qing, watched the impact of the heavy armored cavalry. When the heavy armored cavalry of Tiefutu smashed the chariot into pieces, he immediately ordered, "Throw the assassination!"
There was a loud bang, and the five thousand spear-throwing soldiers raised their fine iron short spears with uniform movements, showing their superb military quality.
Each of them is equipped with five short spears. Each short spear weighs about seven kilograms and is made of fine iron. It can be thrown far by arm strength and can pierce the enemy at a distance of thirty paces.
A thousand gleaming fine iron short spears flew out and instantly shot into the dense group of heavy armored cavalry. Hundreds of iron pagoda heavy armored cavalry had just broken through the obstacle of the cart, but they did not expect to be attacked by another heavy armored cavalry.
A head-on blow.
The sharp short spears pierced the heavy armor and body. Hundreds of cavalry fell to the ground and were nailed to the ground by the short spears.
Hundreds of war horses panicked and turned around and ran to both sides. Without the control of the cavalry, no war horse was willing to have its legs chopped off by the heavy armored infantry.
When the second batch of Iron Buddha heavy armored cavalry rushed over again, they were met by another thousand gleaming iron spears. Their heavy armor could not block this powerful penetration, and they were once again nailed to death by short spears.
On the ground.
In just one stick of incense, 5,000 fine steel short spears were shot mercilessly, and nearly 3,000 iron pagoda heavy armored cavalry were brutally wiped out.
The killing efficiency is quite astonishing. This also comes from the thousands of years of training of throwing hands. Every soldier can fire a spear without missing a beat within thirty steps. The reason why 5,000 spears cannot kill 5,000 heavy soldiers.
Armor cavalry, this is because many cavalry were pierced by two short spears at the same time.
At this time, 50,000 cavalry led by Yang Zaixing and Gao Ding each launched an offensive. The cavalry held spears in both hands, their horses galloped, and their shouts of killing shook the sky. The sharp spear tips in their hands shone red in the rising twilight.
The 50,000 cavalry led by Yang Zaixing were responsible for attacking the enemy's left flank. They were the most elite troops of the Western Army. They were the first Qinzhou Army. They had fought against the Xixia and Jurchens for many years and had rich combat experience.
Most of these cavalrymen are in their thirties and have been in the army for more than ten years. This battle will be the last battle of their military career, a decisive battle with the Kingdom of Jin. Even if they die on the battlefield, they will never regret it.
The Western Army cavalry is equipped with sophisticated cavalry bows, with an effective killing range of a hundred steps. The only drawback is that they cannot be used in the rain. In order to make up for this weakness, each Western Army is equipped with three short spears made of fine steel, suitable for short-term use.
Distance projection is also the experience of learning a spear thrower. Next is the knife, spear and shield, which are fully equipped.
Fifty thousand cavalry entered the Jin soldiers' left-wing formation and cut off the attack of part of the left-wing cavalry. About 14,000 people quickly surrounded them and carried out a brutal killing with superior force.
This is Chen Qing's pre-planned cannibalization strategy, also known as the sausage-slicing strategy. He uses the 50,000 King's Banner Army to attract most of the enemy's main force to attack, while the other 100,000 troops continue to concentrate their superior forces to devour the enemy's smaller forces, leaving the 80,000-strong army behind.
Shrinking step by step.
When the Jurchen army shrinks to half, it will be time for a full-scale counterattack, and all 270,000 troops will be invested.
Yang Zaixing's 50,000-strong army surrounded more than 14,000 Jurchen cavalry. The Jurchen cavalry completely collapsed, but they could not escape, and their surrender was not accepted. They killed the Jurchen army corpses and wailed all over the ground.
Gao Dingze led another detachment of 50,000 cavalry to intercept the enemy's right wing. Yue Yun and Zhang Xian each led 10,000 cavalry. Gao Dingze personally commanded 30,000 cavalry. They also intercepted more than 10,000 Jurchen cavalry. The Western Army Cavalry
Running vertically and horizontally, they cut more than 10,000 people into more than 20 small pieces, and surrounded and slaughtered them mercilessly.
At the beginning of the war, the 80,000 Jurchen army was cut off by two flanking cavalry of the Western Army with overwhelming force, killing more than 27,000 of them.
Including the casualties of the Tiefutu heavy armored cavalry, the main force of the Jin army had lost nearly 30,000 people.
But Wanyan Wushu did not change his strategy. In fact, he had no choice. He vaguely saw the golden coach Chen Qing in the Wang Banner Army.
He knew that killing Chen Qing was their only chance to win.
The weather on the grassland changes all the time. It was sunny just now, but soon dark clouds piled up, the wind was strong, and the grassland was filled with chills.
Chen Qing successfully attracted the main force of the enemy army to the 50,000 King's Banner Army.
The 50,000 King's Banner Army are all infantry. The first two rows are 10,000 heavily armored infantry, wearing heavy armor and holding three-pointed two-edged swords made of fine iron, which can be used to chop and stab.
They attack with collective strength and have always been the strongest force for infantry to deal with cavalry.
At this time, the heavy armored infantry suffered an overwhelming impact from the Jurchen cavalry. They were like solid rocks in the sea. No matter how the enemy cavalry beat them like waves, the rocks always stood firm.
