Behind the Jin army array, thousands of troops and horses moved forward rapidly.
The rumble of horses' hooves was like thunder, and the cavalry passed by in large groups like a swarm of bees. In the infantry queue, a large number of iron spears gathered together and stood tall, looking like a moving steel jungle.
The tip reflects the sun and is dazzling.
Monk Wanyan Chen broke into the enemy formation, and when Jia Guze's troops launched a fierce frontal attack, all the Jin army's troops were already following him. Everyone ran quickly in the dust, their heavy footsteps and horse hooves trampling on them made the ground tremble.
.
As the saying goes, if there are more than 10,000 troops, there are no boundaries. How much more if 20,000 or 30,000 troops are pressing forward in a short distance?
This gathering of a huge number of people will in itself arouse the excitement of everyone in the team, making everyone feel full of strength and feeling that their own side is invincible.
Previously, when the Jin army went south to the Song Dynasty, they really suffered no losses on the battlefield. It was because of the Ding navy's raid on Kaifeng that they had to withdraw. Most of the soldiers were disgraced and had resentment, anger, and dissatisfaction in their hearts.
Many of these soldiers had fled from Zhongdu, Hebei and other places, and they had a special hatred for Ding Haijun, and the generals and commanders of various ministries worked hard to encourage them and issued orders one after another with severe punishments and generous rewards.
At this time, the whole steel torrent was raging. Some cavalrymen could not suppress their blood while marching, waving their swords and screaming wildly; some crossbowmen were walking, drawing their bows and throwing them into the sky, as if they had nowhere to vent their strength; under the influence of this emotion
Next, even the war horses neighed with excitement, and people stood up frequently, attracting loud cheers from the surrounding area.
There are all kinds of noises and all kinds of excited battles. The closer the queue is to the front line, the more people shout and horses neigh, and the noise is like a roar.
In comparison, the lookout car temporarily erected in the Jin Army array was eerily quiet.
The people watching from the carriage had their sight unobstructed by the smoke and dust, so they could clearly see Jia Guze's troops who were the first to launch the attack. Dozens of smoke and dust rose up in the queue, and broken limbs flew across.
They couldn't help but be horrified by the power of the iron artillery. What was terrible was not only the power, but also the long range, coupled with the movable gun carriage... This was a terrifying weapon that could change the situation of the war. If this weapon is allowed to show its power,
, can the war still be fought?
Next to Wanyan Congtan, several captains were also stunned and their legs were weak.
Zhenwu Captain Tang Kuo and Han Monk have always been known for their roughness and willingness to die. His men had fought hard battles with the Song Army before, and even led their troops to kill a Song Army's deputy commander. But now he was so frightened that he stammered.
: "Blow up, blow up, blow up, blow up!"
Separate from the captains, stood Wanyan Saibu, another important general with the title of marshal. He was a senior minister. He was not on good terms with several new captains and had no contact with them. He especially looked down upon the garrison.
Tongguan's Huwei Commander He Shi Lie Qi'er. He grabbed He Shi Lie Qi'er's sleeve, almost hugged He Shi Lie Qi'er's arm in his arms, and said in a trembling voice: "When did the traitors appear?"
Such a sharp weapon? If they keep using it like this, how can they still fight this battle?"
After the generals decided to go to war, they led their troops out of the Lincaiguan camp. At this time, the rear team of the Chinese army was marching and reorganizing. He Shilieqier, who was in charge of leading the team, was worried about the battle ahead, so he rushed over to take a look.
He waved his hand angrily, pushing Wanyan Saibu so hard that his back hit Wanglu's shaft. The force was so strong that Wanglou's entire body trembled.
Everyone looked back and saw him shouting: "So this battle can't be fought the old way! At this moment, Monk Wanyan Chen entered the battle and delayed the firing of the iron artillery. But how many people did they have? Can they withstand it? How long will it be useful? Everyone speed up and press on in one breath!"
Everyone looked at Yan Congtan again.
Wanyan Congtan pressed Qian's palm hard, and blood seeped out from the wounds on his two fingers, soaking the white cloth used for bandage.
He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but felt he had nothing to say.
The fighting style of the Jin army emphasized the continuous charge of heavy groups. At this time, gathering at the gate of Kaifeng City were the last heavy and elite Jurchen troops. The tactics they had just agreed upon were still the same.
Before each unit left the border to face the enemy, the order of engaging the enemy had already been decided. The first team was Anping Commander-in-Chief Wanyan Chen Monk, the second team was Commander Jia Guze, Commander Zhenwu, the third team was Zhenwu Commander-in-Chief Wen Saxin, and the fourth team was Commander-in-Chief Wen Saxin of Zhenwu. The right deputy marshal of the team Wanyan Saibu, the fifth team Huwei Shilieqier, the left deputy marshal Wanyan Congtan of the sixth team, and then there are thousands of people who have not been reorganized after escaping from the southern border. .
The six teams are all led by warriors who dare to die, and even the commander himself has decided to personally lead the team and go to the front line to fight.
But now it seems that taking turns to charge is not enough, it is just taking turns to use the navy's iron artillery as a target!
Wanyan Congtan also noticed that a spherical monster rose above the Dinghai Navy. The thing was painted azure and hidden in the smoke and dust. If you didn't look carefully, you might not be able to spot it.
That should soon be the hot air balloon that was said to have appeared during Ding Haijun's campaign against Liaodong. At the bottom of the hot air balloon, there was a vague sign of someone boarding the hanging basket, looking far and near, so no matter what the Ding Hai Navy planned, it was under Ding Haijun's control.
If our side wants to slow down the entanglement, the enemy can throw out dozens or hundreds of iron artillery pieces one after another, killing people like chickens and dogs in the array of thousands of troops; if our side wants to mobilize its troops to start a chaotic war, the enemy's troops will be condescending and will control any deployment. They can all see it clearly, and there is no plot to be used.
In this case, our side actually has no targeted methods at all. We can only risk our lives and fight to the death.
Wanyan Congtan suddenly remembered that he had discussed Guo Ning with his colleagues before. He always felt that Guo Ning was a brave man. He rarely had bright spots in strategy and command in battles, but always relied on brute force to defeat the enemy. At the end of the discussion, everyone felt that Guo Ning was a brave man. They all felt puzzled, why those opponents who fought against Ding Haijun did not make use of their strengths and avoid their weaknesses, but insisted on cooperating with Guo Ning to fight tough battles to determine the outcome?
Now he vaguely understood that it was not because his opponent was willing to fight hard, but because Guo Ning was extremely cunning. He had methods before and during the war to force his opponent to fight hard to get a chance of victory!
Wanyan suddenly turned around from Tan, strode out of the chariot, and got on his horse: "There is no need to hold back, all the troops spread out to the left and right, let's charge! Let's go in with all our strength and destroy the enemy's catapult. This will be our first victory; behead him." Guo Ning’s head, I recommend him to break the earth and become the king!”
The drums sounded again.
Countless Jin soldiers accelerated their pace like waves. Their iron helmets and armor undulated with their footsteps. Under the scorching sun, they were like a river reflecting sunlight, sparkling and containing terrifying power. This is
The last army of the Kaifeng imperial court that could carry out large-scale field battles was the people of the White Mountains and Black Waters who inherited the bravery of their ancestors. Their roaring posture was like the most lifelike giant picture, enough to be passed down to future generations and amazing!
The flood roared and swept forward, raising dust and sand that lingered for a long time, causing the entire battlefield to rise with diffuse yellow smoke.
The formations of both sides finally collided directly.
The two sides of the horizontal formation were the main breakthrough points for the Jin Army. Ding Haijun constantly deployed manpower from the Central Army's main force to block it. The Jin Army's cavalry finished charging the infantry, and the infantry finished charging. The second wave of cavalry charged again, leaving no breathing room at all.
Chance.
Zhang Pingliang, who was in the horizontal formation, watched his enemies or his comrades die almost all the time.
His eardrums were filled with the sounds of people shouting, the neighing of horses, the impact of weapons, slashing, the sharp sound of stabbing the stomach, or the muffled sound penetrating into the body.
He widened his eyes and used all his skills and courage to kill a Jurchen in front of him. After taking a breath, there was a Jurchen on the side who slashed down with a short knife.
Zhang Pingliang twisted his waist to let the vital point pass, and the short knife slashed through the armor on his chest, bringing out a spark.
The Jurchen staggered a few times with too much force. Zhang Pingliang's men arrived in time, pointed their spear at the Jurchen's neck and stabbed her hard. The long iron spear penetrated into the neck, and blood spurted out.
The Jurchen fell to the ground suddenly, still trying to struggle.
This Jurchen has a distinctive armor and must be an officer with more than a hundred households. Tuyan himself has already contributed to killing a thousand households in a row, and he suddenly thought that if he made more achievements in this battle, the reward he would receive would be extremely generous!
Thinking of this, Tuyan jumped out of the queue and tried to cut off his head and bring it back.
But at this time, the density of the enemy troops on the opposite side became more and more intense, and the offensive became much more fierce. Tuyan squatted half-crouched, inserted the dagger into the neck of the Jurchen, and just pulled it, another Jurchen behind him saw him
Baihu died, and he was furious. He waved a long iron rod in his hand and hit the protruding eye on the head.
The iron helmet with protruding eyes was immediately smashed flat.
His two eyes were almost completely opened, and blood spurted out from the edges of the eye sockets, mixing with the brain matter spilling down his forehead.
