Zhao Kai didn't know how Han Shizhong planned to force the gold thief to attack?
But he knew that Han Shizhong was still reliable, at least more reliable than his own blind orders, so he just nodded and authorized.
"Good minister," Zhao Kai stood up from his chair, pulled out his sword with a straight face, and handed it to Han Shizhong in front of everyone, "to give you this sword means to give you full power to command on the battlefield. The three armies Officers, if there is anyone who does not respect orders, you can kill him with this sword without having to avenge him!"
There is no one I can trust! All the civil and military personnel present were shocked.
This is a great kindness. After Taizu, there seems to be no military officer in the Song Dynasty who can gain such trust!
Han Shizhong was moved at that time. He wanted to refuse, but when he saw the determination in Zhao Kai's tense face, he stood up, walked to Zhao Kai in a few steps, and knelt down with a thud. Then he raised his hands, took the sword, and said loudly: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, Shi Zhong will live up to his command!"
"Okay!" Zhao Kai nodded, with an iron-blooded look on his face, "Good minister, you can direct the deployment first... take a walk around and talk to the soldiers about what's on your mind!"
After saying this, he waved to Guo Tiannu and Dong Jingang and took them away from the Chinese army. He mounted his horse outside the Chinese army's tent, took dozens of soldiers with him, and asked Dong Jingang, who was full of flesh and bearded, to capture the flag of "Yun Wang Zhao Kai" and follow him closely.
Because Zhao Kai had just asked Huang Wuji to perform a heroic performance on his behalf, the generals and officers in the army now regarded him as a fierce man. When they saw him coming on horseback, they openly shouted long live the mountain - he is now "Zhao Kai" Saburo’s heart is known to all soldiers!”
"Long live Long live Long live......"
Amidst cheers, Zhao Kai rode his horse to the center of the front of his array, then turned his horse's head to face the soldiers, and waved his right hand. One of his soldiers took out a horn and blew it hard.
"Woooo..."
After a burst of bugles, the cheers gradually stopped and finally disappeared without a trace. On the battlefield, there was only a silence that was both tense and exciting.
"Everyone, listen!" Zhao Kai suddenly opened his throat and shouted loudly, breaking the brief silence.
"You guys have listened..."
The soldiers behind Zhao Kai all had specially selected loud voices. Now when Zhao Kai said something, they would repeat it together. The voice spread far away, and at least thousands of people could hear it clearly.
"The golden thieves have invaded the Central Plains, seizing my territory, killing my people, plundering my goods, and overthrowing my country... Under the iron hooves of the golden thieves, the world of the Song Dynasty has been in chaos, and the peaceful world has long ceased to exist!
At this time, this world is really a great misfortune for all the people in the world, but it is a blessing for us and the warriors!
Practice writing for peace, use force for troubled times! Now is a troubled time, a time of using force, so we, the Central Plains warriors, have a place to use force again! We, the warriors, can once again use our martial arts to create a wealthy family with a wife and a shadow!
We, warriors, are once again the best men in the world!
Are you willing to follow the lonely king to kill thieves, share wealth, and become good men in the world together? Shall we share the wealth of this world together? "
Well, Zhao Kai openly declared that he would share the world with warriors! Although Zhao Kai has long shown that he values military men and despises civil servants. But this is the first time that he publicly calls out samurai as a good man and wants to share the world with samurai!
And the matter of sharing the world... is not just a casual talk, it is related to who holds the country's economic foundation!
The interests involved in this matter are really huge!
Of course, Zhao Kai himself did not have enough understanding of the interests involved in "sharing the world" with whom.
He just knew that if the Song Dynasty wanted to successfully resist the Jin Dynasty, it could not share the world with civil servants who could not fight. Otherwise, the historical Southern Song Dynasty should have succeeded in counterattacking.
But as far as Zhao Kai knows, if the Han people want to restore the world, they have to wait for a good man like Zhu Yuanzhang! Not many of Zhu Yuanzhang's old brothers passed the imperial examination... When Zhu Yuanzhang conquered the world, he probably didn't have any imperial examination to take, right?
"Yes! I am willing to kill thieves and gain wealth together with the king..."
"Kill the gold thief and share wealth..."
The soldiers of the Song Army on the battlefield actually didn’t know how to “communize” the world. But they still cheered the loudest!
Seeing that the morale of the soldiers had increased, Zhao Kai was very satisfied, so he drove his horse away and continued his pre-battle speech at a farther place...
...
"Dong dong dong dong..."
With the sound of war drums, the Song Army's infantry, which had just cheered a few times and had high morale, began to move forward slowly. Nearly five thousand strong men wearing infantry armor marched forward in unison under the control of war drums, bugles and passwords, stopping every five steps (each step refers to one step for each leg, about 1.5 meters). Team. Although the march was slow, the queue remained intact. Looking from a distance, one can see spears like a forest and swords and axes like a mountain, advancing slowly. It's a bit like what Sun Tzu said in The Art of War: "It's as gentle as the forest."
In infantry combat in this era, whether it is to defeat cavalry or to fight against infantry, it is important to fight in formation. As long as you maintain your formation, even if you encounter an opponent like Tiefutu, you can fight to the death!
Moreover, most of the more than 10,000 elites gathered in Niangziguan (there are still 2,000 people in Niangziguan, Liu Kai has some elites on hand, plus Zhao Kai's military strength, it is not a big problem to gather more than 10,000 elites), most of them are "prepared for five battles" "Soldiers (with spears and axes, bows and crossbows, knives and hammers, mounted archery, and mounted assault) were actually cavalry or dismounted cavalry, not the real infantry of the Song Dynasty.
Although their physical fitness and bravery are not as good as the Jurchen soldiers, as long as they maintain the array, plus the help of the divine arm bow and the eight-oxen crossbow, and with enough cavalry (horse cavalry) as backup, they can completely block the attacks of a considerable number of Jurchen elite soldiers. offensive.
However, it was not enough for them to attack the golden soldiers who were equally numerous and also in a strong formation.
So when the Song army advanced like a forest, the Jin soldiers on the opposite side assumed a posture of being motionless. Whether they are Jurchen soldiers, Bohai Erlangs, or Khitan pawns, they are all "multi-purpose soldiers" who are "equipped with weapons", and everyone is equipped with a bow and arrow.
The Jurchen bow used by the Jurchen soldiers is particularly powerful, which is a large compound bow. The bow is heavy, has a strong draw force, and is extremely powerful when using heavy arrows. After all, at a short distance, it is even more powerful than the Song Army's Divine Arm Bow - the Divine Arm Bow is a crossbow after all, and its rate of fire cannot be compared with that of a bow, and it must be aimed directly and cannot be thrown.
The Jurchens' large bows coupled with heavy arrows, coupled with sufficient numbers (everyone has them) and the archery skills of the Jurchen warriors of this era, will definitely cause heavy casualties to enemies who dare to attack them... even if They were protected by human armor, and it was difficult for them to withstand the dense heavy arrows fired by the Jurchen big bow at close range!
So when they saw the Song army coming slowly, Wanyan Sheyema and Yelu Yujian both smiled - it seemed that the Hun King Zhao Mujiu had only the courage of an ordinary man and no ability to fight with troops.
Yeluyu smiled and said to Sheyema: "Master Sheyema, it seems that the Hun King of the Song Dynasty doesn't know how to use troops, and he will be defeated by you soon. Maybe even Niangziguan and Jingxing dangerous fortresses can be defeated." Seize it... This is the first contribution of our West Route Army!"
Shi Yema nodded proudly and said with a smile: "The contribution of Dujian in this battle is not small...and you, Dujian, took the lead even though your back was injured, you are really brave!"
Yelu Yujian knew that the other party was mocking him, but he still kept smiling and echoed, "What Lang Jun said is absolutely true!"
After the war drums stopped, the two large horizontal formations of the Song Army also came to an abrupt halt. At this time, the front lines of the two Song Army's large horizontal formations were still three to four hundred steps away from the Jin Army's battle formation. Even with the Divine Arm Bow, it has no power at such a long distance.
So Han Shizhong prepared 20 ferocious-looking eight-niu crossbows for Jin Bing!
