War drums thundered, horns sobbed, and two cavalrymen of more than 70,000 people fought fiercely on the Loess Plateau. The dust stirred up covered the sun, and the morning sun turned dark red. As the saying goes, the setting sun is like blood.
The low morale of the Jin soldiers does not show up in the fierce battle. In order to survive, the Jurchen cavalry will fight to the death no matter how low their morale is. The key lies in how long they can persist. When they are at a disadvantage, whether they are still willing to fight to the end or find a way to survive.
opportunity to escape.
Chen Qing's 6,000 army faced Wanyan Huonv's 20,000 army. Judging from the number of people, the Jurchen cavalry had an absolute advantage, but in terms of combat effectiveness, the Song army was stronger than the opponent. The Song army's cavalry was well trained and cooperated tacitly.
, fight bravely and powerfully.
The term 'tacit understanding' is easier to understand. Two-on-one is definitely better than one-on-one. However, the term 'training skills' sounds rather empty. What is training skills is actually a matter of combat efficiency. It is a cold weapon.
Time, individual combat is all about height, strength and physical strength.
A knife weighing more than ten kilograms can be almost exhausted after swinging it for dozens of times, but it may not even touch the opponent's fur. But if he is a well-trained soldier, he will never do anything ineffective.
When attacking, it may be possible to cut down the opponent with just a few swords, and the combat efficiency is extremely high.
The five thousand Hu Ben Guards cavalry were selected from an army of two hundred thousand. They were all strong, brave and good at fighting. They cooperated very well. Even when they were besieged by twenty thousand enemy troops, they did not fall behind at all. With the addition of a thousand scouts, the army of six thousand
Just like a rock in a stormy sea, no matter how rough the waves crash around it, the rock still stands firm.
The Song army consisted of a team of a hundred people and fought against the enemy while running. They could not stop. If they stopped for a little while, the enemy's cold arrows would be shot from all directions, or an unmanned horse would run past, but a spear would be thrown from the horse.
The underside of the abdomen is stabbed out, making it hard to guard against.
Only by fighting at a gallop can we get rid of the advantage of the enemy's large number of troops. Groups of cavalry are running in the wilderness, and the scope of the battle is getting wider and wider. The left and right wings and the center army are already several miles apart.
But what frightened the Jurchens the most was the five hundred cavalry led by Chen Qing. They were like a sword sharpening iron as much as mud, indestructible. Wherever they passed, it was difficult for any army to resist.
I don't know how many people died under Chen Qing's Fang Tianhua halberd. The halberd blade slashed, heads rolled, the halberd tip stabbed, and corpses piled up. Chen Qing was closely followed by dozens of soldiers on both sides, using shields.
Defend him from the cold arrows fired from all directions.
Wanyan Huonu had been waiting in the crowd for a long time. He was like a forbearing wolf king. When Chen Qing appeared eighty steps away, he drew out a wolf-fang arrow, nocked the bow, aimed at Chen Qing's cheek and shot it.
Go, the brilliance of this arrow lies in its concealment. It was shot from the gap between more than a dozen soldiers. When Chen Qing discovered it, the arrow was already in front of him.
Chen Qing Superman's reaction was reflected at this moment. When he felt the arrow, a poisonous wolf-fang arrow grazed his face on one side of his face.
Chen Qing was furious and brandished Fang Tian's painted halberd, killing dozens of Jurchen cavalry. He rushed in front of Wanyan Huonv, without saying a word, and stabbed Wanyan Huonv with the sharp tip of the halberd like lightning.
Wanyan Huonv had never seen Chen Qing at such a close distance. He suddenly remembered the scene of his father's tragic death. His eyes immediately turned red. He roared and slashed at Chen Qing with his sword. "Dang!" There was a loud bang.
, both sides were so shocked that their arms were numb, Chen Qing's Fang Tian Hua Ji was swung away, and Wan Yan Huo Nu's sword almost fell off.
The horses of the two sides crossed each other, and Wanyan Huonv's backhand slashed at the back of Chen Qing's head with a knife. Chen Qing lay back and slashed the air with the knife. In an instant, Wanyan Huonv's right hand clenching the knife shaft appeared above Chen Qing.
In this flash of lightning, Chen Qing seized the opportunity that flashed by. He held the halberd pole in his left hand, drew the sword in his right hand and swung upwards. "Crack!" There was a bone-cutting sound, and Wanyan Huonu's right hand was in full swing.
The elbow was cut off, blood spurted out, Wanyan Huonu screamed, and the golden knife fell to the ground, but he reacted very quickly, and his body immediately fell down and hung on the other side of the war horse. The war horse galloped away, followed by more than a dozen soldiers
He rushed forward, rescued Wan Yan's daughter, and ran away into the crowd.
Chen Qing looked at the half-cut arm on the ground and shook his head regretfully. This was the best chance to kill the enemy coach, but it was a pity that he failed.
Although he did not get Wanyan Huonv's head, Chen Qing still asked the soldiers to take his arm and tell the three armies that the enemy's commander's hand had been cut off and he would soon die!
Several cavalrymen carried Wan Yan Huo Nu's coach with spears and shouted all the way: "The enemy's coach has been beheaded! The enemy's coach has been beheaded!"
Thousands of soldiers heard that "the enemy commander has been beheaded", and their morale was immediately boosted. They continued to launch fierce counterattacks against the enemy. The commander Wanyan Huonv was hidden among the soldiers and never appeared again.
The battlefield has moved more than ten miles to the west, and the garrison can no longer see the situation on the battlefield, but Wanyan Yinkeshu still communicates the battle situation through the Ranger Cavalry.
Gu Qie
After hearing the deployment of the two armies, Wanyan Yinkeshu couldn't say a word for a long time. What he was most worried about happened. Wanyan Huonv was still blinded by hatred and fell into Chen Qing's military trap. How could he
Let the largest number of troops go against the opponent's Chinese army with the smallest number? What about the left and right wings?
Captain Wanyan Shaqili whispered: "Perhaps the living female marshal wants to annihilate the Song army as soon as possible and kill Chen Qing?"
Wanyan Yinkeshu said coldly: "Is Chen Qing a fool? Let yourself be killed by the opponent. He may not have many troops, but he must be the most powerful. If you let that idiot be fooled, he will lose his left and right wings."
At this time, a group of ranger cavalry rushed from a distance and whispered a few words to Wanyan Yinkeshu. Wanyan Yinkeshu's eyes lit up, "Really? Where is the secret passage?"
"More than ten miles further west there is a small river. Along the river and upstream to the north, there is a secret passage leading directly to Luoshui Road. Its exit is in the north of Luojiao County."
Wanyan Yin Keshu was overjoyed and immediately ordered his subordinates: "Go and find the living female marshal immediately!"
Before his men set off, dozens of soldiers escorted Wanyan Huonv back and escaped. His face was pale, one of his hands was gone, he was very weak and could not even speak.
"What's going on?" Wanyan Yinkeshu asked in shock.
A soldier next to him said: "Marshal encountered Chen Qing!"
"ah!"
Wanyan Yinkeshu was stunned.
"Marshal Du..."
Wan Yanhuo said in a low voice: "Chen Qing's 6,000 troops can defeat our 20,000 troops. I have made a mistake in my deployment. I'm afraid the army will be defeated. Marshal Du, please withdraw first!"
Wanyan Yinkeshu shook his head helplessly, it would have been better if the news of the discovery of the secret passage had come earlier.
.........
The fierce battle had been going on for an hour, and the casualties on both sides were gradually increasing. At this time, Liu Cui's 10,000 cavalry had defeated the Khitan cavalry, leaving only more than 2,000 Khitan and Xi cavalry. They were defeated first. Liu Cui immediately
He led more than 8,000 soldiers to join in the encirclement and suppression of the enemy's right wing. This was the Song army's top horse plus the middle horse, encircling and suppressing the enemy's middle horse.
Nearly half of the 10,000 Jurchen cavalry led by Pucha Asa were injured and could no longer hold on. At this time, 8,000 Song army cavalry came from behind. The Jurchen cavalry suddenly fell into chaos, and the negative consequences of low morale finally appeared.
The remaining 5,000 cavalrymen were no longer willing to work hard, and turned their horses and fled. Puchaasa couldn't stop shouting repeatedly, so he had to mix with the army and fled. More than 20,000 Song troops were chasing behind them, and the left and right wings were chasing him.
The defeat seriously affected the morale of the Chinese army. Although the Chinese army still had 20,000 cavalry and was in a stalemate with the 5,000 Song army cavalry, the fighting spirit of the soldiers died instantly, and they also turned their horses and fled. For a time, the Jurchen cavalry was defeated like a mountain.
Instead, Chen Qing yelled, "The Tatars killed the Jurchen!"
"The Jurgen-killing Tatars!"
The Song army's cavalry roared and galloped, chasing the defeated Jurchen cavalry mercilessly. They killed the Jurchen cavalry with blood flowing into rivers and corpses strewn across the fields. They chased them for more than 20 miles in one breath before Chen Qing gave the order to stop the pursuit.
