Zhang Jun's troops were all infantry, while the Tiefutu composed of barbarians were heavy cavalry. Although they traveled day and night, their marching speed was not as fast as those of light cavalry. www --
It was not until five days later, when it was almost dusk, that they arrived at the outskirts of Shenshan County. Along the way, they also saw countless corpses of Xixia people and knew that a war had occurred here.
"It's a pity that all the Xixia people died! I wonder where the Jurchens went?" Ruan Xiaoqi said.
"The Jurchens have entered the mountains." Zhang Jun said.
These days, he also met a lot of Liangshan scouts, many of whom were sent by Liu Guangshi, Yang Lin and others to inform him specifically, so he also had some understanding of the battle situation here.
"Shall we enter the mountain now?" Ruan Xiaoqi asked.
"It's getting dark, the roads in the mountains are extremely steep, and we haven't really contacted Liu Guangshi and the others yet! Tomorrow morning, we will really enter the mountains and then fight the Jurchens," Zhang Jun said.
"Okay!" Ruan Xiaoqi nodded and agreed.
He is very excited now. Although he is the commander of the navy, the navy has not seen many wars in recent years, so he is very envious of Zhang Jun and others. Originally, his task this time was to transport the Northern Navy Regiment to the north of Shanhaiguan.
place, he followed him personally, wanting to participate in the war.
The soldiers were exhausted after walking for several days. When Zhang Jun's order was given, tens of thousands of soldiers lay down on the grass and fell asleep. However, in the middle of the night, the rumble of horse hooves suddenly came from the mountain pass ahead.
At this moment, the spies arranged by Zhang Jun in the mountains have also returned, saying that the Jurchens and Khitans rushed out of the mountains.
"Quickly, get up! Call everyone!" Zhang Jun was taken aback and hurriedly asked the soldiers to get up and prepare to fight.
The 30,000 infantrymen have already stood up and picked up their weapons, and the 10,000 iron pagodas have also put on heavy armor and ridden on their horses. However, time is running out, and both the infantry and the iron pagodas are a little busy at the moment.
At this moment, the Jurchens rushed out from inside, with 30,000 Jurchens at the forefront, and behind them were 40,000 Liao troops! The Liangshan army blocked them at the mountain pass.
******
It turned out that after the armies of Wanyan Zongwang and Yelu Dashai entered the mountains, Liu Guangshi, Yang Lin and others had been playing hide and seek with them and did not engage in direct combat with them.
In the past few days, the military rations of the Jurchens and Khitan people were almost exhausted. The Jurchens could only eat one meal a day, while the Khitan people could only eat one meal every two days. Seeing that the military rations had not arrived, Wanyan Zongwang was anxious, and he
I also realized that it might be an army transporting food.
Something went wrong and he couldn't stay here anymore. He also knew that Liangshan's army was in the mountains, and he didn't dare to retreat rashly. Until midnight that day, he led his army into sudden action. Liu Guangshi, Yang Lin and others couldn't react in time.
He was rushed to the mountain pass.
When he arrived at the mountain pass and saw Zhang Jun's army, Wanyan Zongwang was both frightened and grateful.
"Fortunately, we came out in time! It seems that this Liangshan army has just arrived here. If it were one more day late, we would have been surrounded by them in the mountains! These Han people are indeed cunning! But now it's better, this
It's on the grassland. They are all infantry. Our Jurchen cavalry is invincible in the world. The infantry on the grassland is no match for us! Come on, charge and kill all these people!" Wanyan Zongwang shouted with a laugh.
Once the Jurchen cavalry formed a large scale, they were indeed unstoppable. They roared and charged forward. Although the mountain pass was blocked by Zhang Jun's infantry, they did not feel the slightest fear in their hearts.
Zhang Jun's soldiers had just woken up not long ago, but they were well-trained on weekdays. Emergency gatherings and emergency operations like this during daily exercises are common occurrences. In a short period of time, countless spear formations have been formed.
Rows of spears stood in front to block the Jurchen cavalry. In fact, if the infantry wanted to deal with the cavalry, the role of crossbowmen was more important. However, the number of crossbowmen in Zhang Jun's army was limited, so he could only rely on these ordinary infantrymen.
Come to resist them.
The Jurchen cavalry was powerful, and the spear array in the front row was quickly torn apart. Countless Liangshan soldiers had fallen, but the ones behind were still pushing forward crazily, and the infantry on both wings were already rushing towards these cavalry from both sides.
Even though they knew that the infantry was at a disadvantage in front of the cavalry, they still moved forward without fear of death. As soon as the battle started, it felt extremely tragic.
"The Han people are indeed powerful. If it weren't for us Jurchens, just relying on the Khitan people, these infantry would be able to stop their cavalry!" Wanyan Zongwang was secretly shocked.
Yelu Dashi who was behind was also frightened. He had heard about Liangshan's powerful achievements over the years, but except for attacking Songting Pass and Shanhaiguan Pass, he had never had a direct battle with the Liangshan army. Now he has completely gained experience.
Now I have an intuitive understanding of the Liangshan army.
"Fortunately, there are Jurchens here, otherwise these people alone could wipe out all the cavalry of our Liao Army." Yelu Dashi clenched his fists tightly, unwilling to admit this fact in his heart.
Liangshan's infantry were constantly being torn apart. Seeing that the Jurchen cavalry was about to pass, the sound of horse hooves suddenly came from far in the front. The sound of horse hooves was unusually heavy, as if steel was hitting the earth. Such a sound was different from that of ordinary cavalry.
The sound is very different. Just by listening to the sound, I don’t know how many people there are, but with the dim starlight, I can see a group of cavalry in the distance, the number should be about 10,000.
When the sound of horse hooves sounded from behind, the infantry in front had already moved out of the way, and they allowed the cavalry behind to rush over.
"Han Chinese cavalry, hum!" Wanyan Zongwang snorted coldly, not caring about it in his heart. Although the voices of those cavalry were a bit strange, he estimated that there were only more than 10,000 people. There were more than 30,000 Jurchen cavalry here, and behind them
There are 40,000 Liao soldiers following them, and they are not afraid of the mere 10,000 Liangshan cavalry.
When the infantry completely cleared the road, the heavily armored barbarian cavalry finally rushed over from behind! There is no tactic available in such a valley area, just a frontal charge! They collided with the Jurchen cavalry immediately
!
As soon as the two armies came into contact, the Jurchen cavalry retreated in one direction. Soon, the Jurchen army was torn apart from the middle by the barbarian cavalry in front of them, and they hid on both sides.
"Damn it, you're covered in iron armor, how can you fight?" Wanyan Zongwang only fought for a moment, and he immediately knew something was wrong!
The opponent's body is covered with iron armor, and unlike ordinary scale armor, his sword can't cut it! Moreover, the strength of the warriors on the opposite side is also extremely strong, each of them is comparable to the most elite warriors of their Jurchens.
!The swords in their hands were also extremely powerful, and even cut the Jurchen's saber in half.
With such a powerful armor, coupled with such a powerful sword, and the strong physical fitness of the barbarian warriors as the basis, and in such a valley area, the Jurchens began to lose instantly.
In history, the Jurchens also built the Iron Buddha Temple, but it was only after the Jurchens conquered the entire north that they mobilized the whole country to successfully build such a heavy armored cavalry regiment. In the heyday of the Jurchens, the Iron Buddha Temple only had three to five thousand people.
At that time, those were already the ace troops of the Jurchens. But now the Iron Buddha in Liangshan has reached 10,000 people, and with Liangshan's advanced weapon manufacturing technology, they are better than the Iron Buddha in history in terms of armor and weapons.
The army is also more powerful.
In fact, if you want to deal with such heavy armored cavalry, if you are in a vast area on the grassland, you can rely on light cavalry to continuously raid the formation, shoot arrows, constantly harass, and defeat such bloated cavalry with their maneuverability advantages. And such heavy cavalry can be defeated.
The cavalry also needs to cooperate with the light cavalry, usually only for frontal battlefield charges.
The Liangshan Military Aircraft Department originally gave these people to Yue Fei, and asked Yue Fei to cooperate with the light cavalry and heavy cavalry to fight together. However, at this moment, they encountered a sudden encounter with the Jurchens, so the heavy cavalry participated in such a battle.
Fortunately it was in a valley, otherwise the Jurchens wouldn't have had too much concern about them.
The brave and invincible Jurchen army was violently torn apart, and countless people fell under the iron Buddha's sword and horse. When they rushed out from the Jurchens and entered the Liao army, the Liao people were even more unable to resist, and there were cries and howls everywhere.
, the sound of screams, Yelu Dashi was completely stunned at this moment. They, the Liao people, had never had such heavy armored cavalry in their history, and they had never known that heavy armored cavalry could be so powerful.
The war lasted for an hour. When the Jurchens fled here, they were already somewhat defeated. As for the Liao people, not many people escaped from the valley. Many Liao people had returned to the mountains, hoping to survive on the protection of the mountains.
.
Wanyan Zongwang walked north for a long time before stopping. The Jurchen cavalry also arrived one after another. He began to gather the army and count the casualties of the army.
"How many of us rushed out?" Wanyan Zongwang asked, holding a riding crop.
"Your Highness, there are only about 10,000 people rushing out." A captain of 10,000 people next to him said with a pale face.
"Damn it, if we were on the grassland, we would never be defeated! I didn't expect that we would encounter them at the mountain pass! There are so many armored cavalry, all of them are invulnerable. Even though we Jurchens are brave and good at fighting, it is difficult to defeat them!" End
Yan Zongwang said angrily.
"Your Highness, almost no one in the Liao army escaped." The captain of ten thousand men said again.
"This is natural. We Jurchens are no match for us, and the Liao people are certainly no match for us! Where is Yelu Dashi? Has he escaped?" Wanyan Zongwang asked again.
"Your Highness, I'm here!" Even at this moment, a voice came from not far away, it was Yelu Dashi. It turned out that Yelu Dashi knew that something was wrong, and had already moved forward desperately under the protection of several soldiers. In the end, he finally
He caught up with the Jurchen cavalry and left the mountain pass with the Jurchen cavalry.
"Fortunately, you are fine." Wanyan Zongwang nodded.
"Second Prince, should we go back to seek revenge on them?" Yelu Dashi said.
"We have suffered heavy losses and have no military rations, how can we take revenge! And the enemy is also very strong." Wanyan Zongwang was silent for a moment, shook his head and said. Please come and watch the first release without advertisements--
