Half a moment ago.
Behind the Jin army array, thousands of troops and horses moved forward rapidly.
The rumble of horses' hooves sounded 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 spear tips reflected the sunlight and were dazzling.
Monk Wanyan Chen broke into the enemy's formation, and when Jia Guze's troops launched a fierce frontal attack, the Jin army's troops were already following closely behind. Everyone was running quickly in the dust, and the heavy footsteps and horse hooves made the ground tremble.
As the saying goes, if there are more than 10,000 soldiers, there will be no boundaries. What's more, 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 side is invincible.
Previously, the Jin army went south to the Song Dynasty and really suffered no losses on the battlefield. It was because of the Ding navy's raid on Kaifeng that they had to withdraw. The vast majority of soldiers, despite being disgraced, feel resentful, angry, and dissatisfied.
Many of these soldiers had fled from Zhongdu, Hebei and other places, and they had a special hatred for Ding Haijun. The generals and generals in various ministries desperately encouraged 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 Below, even the war horses neighed with excitement, and people even stood up frequently, attracting loud cheers from the surrounding area.
There are all kinds of noises and all kinds of excited demands for battle. 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 who were watching from the carriage had their sight unobstructed by the smoke and dust, so they could clearly see Jiaguze'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’s scary is not only the power, but also the long range, coupled with the movable gun carriage... This is a terrifying weapon that can 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 brutality 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 at this moment 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 of the new captains and had no contact with them. He especially looked down upon the garrison. Tongguan's Huwei Duwei He Shilie begged. He grabbed He Shilie Beggar's sleeve, almost hugged He Shilie Beggar's arm in his arms, and said in a trembling voice: "When did the traitors have such sharp weapons? If they keep using them like this, How can we 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. Heshi Lieqier, 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. This force was so strong that the entire watchtower shook.
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 do 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 heavily-trooped groups. At this time, those gathered at the gate of Kaifeng City were the last heavy and elite troops of the Jurchens. The tactics they had just agreed upon were still the same.
Before each unit leaves the border to face the battle, the order of engaging the enemy has been decided. The first team, Anping Commander-in-Chief, Wanyan Chen Monk, the second team, the Commander-in-Chief Jia Guze, the third team, Zhenwu Commander-in-Chief, Wen Saxin, the fourth team, right deputy marshal Wanyan Saibu, the fifth team, Huwei He Shilie Beggars, left deputy marshal Wanyan Congtan of the Sixth Team, and those behind him were thousands of people who had not yet 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 give the navy's iron artillery a target!
Wanyan Congtan also noticed that a spherical monster rose above the Ding 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 legendary hot air balloon that appeared during the Ding Navy's campaign against Liaodong. At the bottom of the hot air balloon, there was a vague sight of someone boarding the hanging basket, looking far and near, so no matter what adjustments we made, they were all under Ding Haijun's control. m.
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; They can all see clearly and there is no plot to be used.
In this case, we actually have no targeted methods at all. We can only fight to the death with our lives.
Wanyan Congtan suddenly remembered that he had talked about Guo Ning with his colleagues before, and always felt that Guo Ning was a brave man who rarely excelled in strategy and command in every battle, but always relied on brute force to defeat the enemy. At the end of the discussion, everyone was puzzled. Why did those opponents who fought Ding Haijun not make use of their strengths and avoid their weaknesses, but insisted on cooperating with Guo Ning to fight a tough battle 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 is 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 golden soldiers quickened 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 can carry out large-scale field battles. It is a people who inherited the bravery of their ancestors and the white mountains and black waters. Their roaring posture is like the most realistic giant picture, which can be passed down to future generations and make people admire!
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 continuously mobilized manpower from the Chinese Army's main force to intercept. The Jin army's cavalry rushed through the infantry, and after the infantry rushed through, the second wave of cavalry charged again, leaving no chance to breathe.
Zhang Pingliang, who was in the horizontal formation, watched his enemies or his companions die almost all the time.
His eardrums were filled with the sounds of people shouting, the neighing of horses, the sharp sounds of weapons hitting, slashing, poking at the stomach, or the muffled sounds penetrating into the body.
He widened his eyes and used all his skills and courage to kill a Jurchen in front of him. He took a breath and then saw a Jurchen on the side slashing down with a short knife.
Zhang Pingliang twisted his waist to let the vital point pass, and the short knife slashed across the armor on his chest, bringing out a spark.
The Jurchen used too much force and staggered several times. Zhang Pingliang's men arrived in time and stabbed the Jurchen in the neck with a spear. The long iron spear was inserted into his neck, and blood spurted out.
The Jurchen fell to the ground, still trying to struggle.
This Jurchen has a distinctive armor and stomach, and should be an officer of more than 100 households. Tuyan himself had already contributed to killing thousands of households before, and he suddenly thought that if he made more contributions 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 was getting larger and larger, and the offensive became much more fierce. Tuyan half-crouched and inserted the dagger into the Jurchen's neck. Just as he pulled it, another Jurchen behind him became furious after seeing hundreds of households in his area dead. He waved a long iron stick in his hand. The stick 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.
Some people died, but not completely...
