When Zhao Fang's troops arrived at Nanxun Gate less than half an hour ago, most of the soldiers regarded Ding Haijun's Li Ting's troops as allies, so Li Ting rushed into the city gate without much hindrance.
As a result, after Li Ting's troops entered the city, a fire suddenly broke out in Kaifeng City. The Song army's troops subconsciously stopped at Nanxunmen, waiting for the order from the commander Zhao Fang, who had entered the city early. Zhao Fang and Xuan Zhen were angered by the fire.
Frightened and angry, he started quarreling with Hou Zhi, trying to squeeze more benefits from the Kaifeng court.
After all, the two families suddenly turned from enemies to friends. This was not a U-turn of an ordinary small sampan, but a sharp turn of two large ships. Although the waves were rolling on the water, the undercurrents under the water were ten times more mysterious than those on the water. But Kaifeng
The imperial court was another broken ship, which could not withstand the wind and waves. Although the ship of the Song Dynasty was large enough and strong enough, officials like Zhao Fang had little confidence in the integrity of the imperial court.
On the other hand, although the Kaifeng court desperately needed the support of the Song people to survive, it always wanted to maintain its own dignity and could not be underestimated by the Song people. And the Song army of 20,000 people was alone in Kaifeng, so they were inevitably vigilant, lest Kaifeng
In addition to setting fire to frame the case, the imperial court also had other sinister plans.
There are so many things that need to be confirmed on both sides!
In Zhao Fang's opinion, the war of words between the two parties has just begun, and it will take a long time to reach a formal agreement.
At this time, we can see how thorough the preparations made by Kaifeng for this. The Jin army at Caiguan fought fiercely and refused to retreat, just to buy time for both sides. And both sides felt that such a huge force would not be able to retreat.
They are a force that is extremely loyal to Dai Jin. They can at least haunt Ding Haijun for half a day, right?
Even if the Jin army is already in decline and they continue to fight and retreat, the battle will still have to be fought for another hour and a half. After the victory is clear, the pursuit of death and the north will take a lot of time.
To put it ten thousand steps back, even if the Jin Army's force is not enough to rely on, Ding Haijun suddenly sees the situation change, he has to send people to find out what is going on, and then use his methods, right? One trip back and forth to explore the horse, it will take less than half an hour, two or three times to explore the horse
If you have come to explore, it will be in the afternoon or evening!
By that time, the Song Dynasty had already rushed to control the outer city of Kaifeng and put the Kaifeng court of the Jin Kingdom in its hands. In turn, it negotiated with Ding Haijun and used the future of the alliance between the Song Dynasty and the Kaifeng court to force Ding Haijun.
Speak out more benefits and let your side weigh them.
It can be said that we are in an invincible position whether we advance or retreat. Only our side gets the benefits, and there is no possibility of being coerced by others.
But who would have thought that Dinghai Navy would respond so quickly to the fire in Kaifeng?
In less than half an hour, another group of elite cavalry came rolling over and crashed directly into Nanxunmen. Their speed was as fast as lightning, and they were so fast that they had no time to respond to the scouting horses deployed by the Song Army in the field. And the Meng Communist Party
Such a discerning officer also immediately recognized that the fierce momentum of those cavalry galloping on horseback was much more terrifying than that of Li Ting's previous troops!
Such cavalry are the backbone of an army of millions; gathered together, they are a terrifying force that can overturn the battlefield situation with a thunderous strike. As a result, the navy dispatched them so quickly and put them on the battlefield again.
Kaifeng!
When the Meng Cong rushed to the city to report, Zhao Fang couldn't believe it.
This must be a battlefield where tens of thousands of people from three parties are confronting each other, not just gangsters fighting on the streets. But is it certain that the Navy's style is still so reckless?
It is said that most of the navy's generals are from lower-level soldiers who have a sharp edge. Are they really used to being wild and do not know the principle of making plans before taking action?
No, no, there are many heroes from humble backgrounds, how can we despise Guo Ning?
The only reason is that Ding Haijun seems to be fighting fiercely with the Jin army, but in fact, he has always saved his strength!
In this way, those who will die next will be the soldiers of the Song Dynasty! The thousands of lives in the fire scene and the hell-like miserable situation on earth are inseparable from the army of the Song Dynasty. The cavalry team must not be rushing over to fly.
A moth flies into the flame, but he comes to kill people to vent his anger!
According to the legendary Guo Ning's style, I'm sure he would be the one to do the killing himself!
Zhao Fang didn't have time to wait for his followers to bring their horses over, so he held up the corners of his robe and ran towards the city gate. He ran all the way, shouting: "Warning! Let all the departments outside the city assemble themselves to meet the enemy with all their strength!"
The Song army seldom used the whistle to convey news, but mostly used flags and trumpets. At present, there were flag wavers and trumpet blowers in various units along the way. But the order could be spread outside the city in no time. What's the use of it once it was spread?
The navy cavalry has already arrived outside Nanxun Gate!
The horses galloped like waves, their armor dazzling like tides, roaring over the remaining mounds at the old site of Yujin Garden, and then continued to charge. In the eyes of the Song army soldiers, they could only feel the dazzling sword light that could not be seen, while the cavalry queue was almost invisible.
Like a copper wall and an iron wall, it fell down in one breath!
The Song army had already set up defenses inside and outside Nanxun Gate, but when the generals arrived at important areas for the first time, they had to dispatch their troops to seize many city gates controlled by the Jurchens, and also defend their allies. They were really busy.
The soldiers who were the first to reach the city's head and planned to take over the city defense looked at the splitting of their rear troops and roared in terror. Some people ran down along the long trail to the city, trying to get out of the city to support them, but how could they use their legs?
They couldn't run on four legs, so only a small number of people outside the city formed a stacked formation on the circular high ground of the old Xiannongtan Temple to resist heavy cavalry.
But when the main formation was about to be completed and the second formation was not completed, many people saw the bearded archer being killed. That man was quite prestigious in the Song army. Many Song army soldiers shouted angrily, ignoring the orders of the officers in the formation, and the arrows missed.
Flying out of the formation like a locust.
Among the soldiers, some cooperated with their companions and were good at using extremely powerful bows to defeat the enemy, with a range of up to 360 paces; some used a short-armed bow with three stones and four buckets, and every time they shot an iron horse within a hundred paces, they responded to the string.
Contrary. These unique weapons, working together, could have formed a rain of arrows that blocked the battlefield.
But at this time, everyone was panicked and angry, and they lost all control. The big arrows were shot out from a long distance. It looked scary, but in fact, it had almost no effect on the roaring cavalry formation. The knights in front of the cavalry stood slightly.
By reining in the reins and turning, most of the arrows were avoided, and only a few cavalrymen were hit by arrows and fell off their horses.
Immediately, the cavalry formation suddenly tightened and rushed towards the stacked formation from the front.
Meng Cong had just rushed out of the city gate. Previously, he was keenly aware of the changes in the battlefield, so he rushed to report to Zhao Fang. However, in this way, he happened to miss the fighting on his own side. He was so anxious that he shouted from a distance: "Reject the horse."
!Stand up your left and right ribs to resist the horse!"
The key points of stacked formations are: one is pure formation staggering, and the other is blocking formation with horses, both of which are indispensable.
But it was too late at this moment. Some of the infantrymen carrying the horses were still struggling behind the high ground. The stacked formation set up by the Song army was not complete at all!
Ding Haijun's cavalry were about to collide head-on with each other when they suddenly split into two groups. During the whole process, no one could be heard shouting orders. It was as smooth as water, and it was as if thousands of people and horses had become one and connected with each other.
As a whole, spread your arms easily.
The two cavalry groups passed through the dense forest of guns with a slight difference, and then charged towards the two sides of the stacked formation.
In front of their horses, hundreds of spears poked out neatly at almost the same time. The spears used by the Ding Navy cavalry looked cruder than the Song Army's crow-necked spears, but they were actually extremely well-made and had a slightly longer blade.
It can also be used for slashing.
When many spears stabbed forward at the same time, it seemed as if a silver curtain of light suddenly appeared in front of the cavalry.
The next moment, the cavalry roared, the Meng Cong screamed, and the Song soldiers in the formation screamed miserably.
In front of the light curtain, blood mist continued to burst out, and as the light curtain deepened, the blood mist became thicker and thicker, almost covering up the smoke and dust rolled up by the cavalry. Many people were stabbed and fell to the ground spurting blood; many people were stabbed and fell to the ground.
The horse was knocked down and trampled to mud on the ground.
Among the people of the Song Dynasty, there were also brave men with extremely outstanding martial arts. They stood in the gap where the cavalry were running, waving their weapons wildly to block the incoming spears. But these people were immediately attacked by the light cavalry coming from behind.
Slashing, there is no room for good martial arts.
The roar of the horses galloping was deafening, and the reflection caused by the armor and stomach obscured the sight. The narrow and sharp straight knife fell sharply from all sides, scratching the neck, and the head fell to the ground; crossing the body, the armor and stomach opened, and blood flowed across the side!
The Song army is not easy to deal with. However, the soldiers in front of them are the elites of hundreds of thousands of people in the Ding navy. They can almost be called the most daring and skillful army in half of the northern half of the country. Once the two sides come into direct contact, in the
The many subtle differences in fighting skills and even coordination, morale, and equipment all come together, and they immediately become a huge difference between steel and clay!
"Keep on charging!"
Ni Yi's sharp ax finally killed the enemy. It seemed that he was a famous hero among the Song army. He rode forward with satisfaction and gave orders loudly. The leading officers of the cavalry behind him raised their long spears and waved the swords tied to the top of the spears.
The triangle took a rest, urging the team to continue charging forward.
The charge just now had already defeated the Song army at the city gate. The cavalry queues gathered from two groups into one and rushed into Nanxun Gate!
In the city gate hole, the Song troops in the city arrived in large numbers, dozens of large shields raised, and more than a hundred people followed one after another, blocking the passage.
The cavalry of the Ding Navy came from a long distance to attack. There was no heavy cavalry in the team, so it seemed difficult to frustrate the shield formation. However, the cavalry, regardless of life and death, forced their horses to collide continuously, and in a blink of an eye, the shield at the front was knocked loose.
Hundreds of men and horses were shouting and fighting in the deep passage. Blood flowed everywhere, almost filling the deep ruts on the stone floor. The corpses were lying in a mess, and the living people behind them had no scruples, trampled over and continued to fight.
.
The Dinghai navy cavalry further behind had not yet entered the doorway. They looked up and saw from a distance officers and Jurchens dressed as Song soldiers standing side by side on the top of the city, each dispatching troops. Groups of Song soldiers holding swords, spears, swords and halberds came from a distance.
People were swarming from all over the city walls.
"Song people are indeed distrustful, despicable, and colluded with the Jurchens!"
The Ding navy officers were furious and fired at random on the city with their bows and arrows. For a time, the Song troops at the top of the city dispersed and fled, and instead relied on the city battlements to fight with the enemy troops below.
In the city of Kaifeng, Zhao Fang rushed all the way to Nanxun Gate, and people from left and right hurriedly came up to cover him.
As he was old, he ran so hard that he became dizzy. He couldn't help but bend over and retched twice. When he raised his head, he first looked at the fierce fighting in the doorway, and then at the chaos at the top of the city.
How could we be forced here? How could we fight so fiercely?
Zhao Fang was shocked and angry. He didn't care that there were so many soldiers outside the city who had not yet entered. He shouted repeatedly: "Where is the Jurchen officer guarding the city! Ask him to come out to help and close the city gate! Get down the Thousand Jin Gate!"
It's too late, it's too late.
There was a sound like the sky and the earth cracking in the city gate, like a flood breaking down a dam. The Song army soldiers who had been blocking the gate and fighting rolled back and rolled back. Then a huge sound wave rushed into the city, and some of the soldiers surrounding Zhao Fang were shaken to their feet.
Unstable, he sat down on the spot.
Countless people were heard shouting wildly, and Ding Haijun entered the city again.
The man at the front was wearing green velvet armor and a gray military robe, holding an iron bone flower. It was like a strong wind blowing, sweeping the Song army in front of him like falling leaves, and almost arrived in front of Zhao Fang in the blink of an eye.
Two of Zhao Fang's personal guards each held iron shields and spears and bravely blocked the attack.
The man galloped forward on horseback, swung his iron bone sword and slammed it on the iron shield.
Seeing the menacing attack of the Iron Bone Flower, the guard hurriedly pressed his shoulder against the shield and took the blow. As a result, the iron shield made a crackling sound under the huge impact and shattered into pieces. The guard groaned and blood bleeded from the corner of his mouth.
, he stepped back repeatedly, not to mention that he couldn't lift his left arm holding the shield at all, and half of his body was numb.
Soon after that, another guard rushed in and stabbed the man's horse with his gun. The man laughed, leaned over and grabbed the gun head, and then pulled it violently into his arms. The guard couldn't help but
If he dared to be pulled close to him, he fought hard to snatch it back. As soon as the man let go, the guard staggered back ten steps.
At this time, more Dinghai navy cavalry poured into the city from behind. No less than hundreds of cavalry rushed towards the trail to climb the city, knocking the Song soldiers on the trail to pieces and falling like wontons. The fastest ones
A group of cavalry rushed up to the tower and dispersed the Jurchens who had been called back by the Song army in the blink of an eye.
In the fighting field with blood splattering all around, a knight took out a bright red flag from his arms, put it on the barrel of his gun, and then set it up high on the city platform.
The flag fluttered in the wind. Inside and outside the city, above and below the city, everyone he knew was moved.
More than a hundred steps away from Nanxun Gate, Xuan Zhen rushed here panting. When he saw the flags flying, his face was full of disbelief.
Hou Zhi beside him changed his color in shock, but grabbed Xuan Zhen and shouted: "He doesn't have many people with him, so we don't need to panic! He's not yet stable, we have a chance!"
Zhao Fang looked at the flag, then at the enemy general holding the Iron Bone Flower in front of him, his eyes full of surprise, and suddenly mixed with vague shame.
This person is Guo Ning, Duke of Zhou!
Guo Ning immediately stood away from the crowd of dozens of guards, pointed at the iron bone flower, and asked politely: "Are you Zhao Fang?"
"Ahem, that's exactly..."
After all, Zhao Fang was a member of the Song Dynasty, so he had to uphold the will of the Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty. He immediately thought about it and came up with four or five language routines to explain the purpose of his actions and accuse the Ding Navy of betraying the alliance and attacking.
But Guo Ning did not engage in verbal arguments at all.
A sardonic smile appeared on his ferocious face, which seemed to be made of copper and iron. He stared at Zhao Fang, leaned down slightly and asked, "Excuse me, are you tired of living?"
