"Dangdangdangdang..."
The harsh sound of metal strikes suddenly came from behind Li Xiaozhong, who was getting ready to kill!
Hear the drum to advance, ring the gold to retreat!
The golden sound means that Han Shizhong, who is commanding the overall situation, has issued an order to retreat to Li Xiaozhong's men. Although I feel unwilling to do so, I still have to abide by military orders. So Li Xiaozhong could only yell: "Brothers, retreat..."
Then, he used his side card to deflect the short-handled mace of a Khitan soldier on the opposite side, and then threw the short-handled hammer in his right hand towards the man's face. With a pop, a good head was smashed to pieces, and brains and blood foam flew everywhere. Li Xiaozhong stopped picking up the hammer that was covered in plasma and brains. Instead, he pulled out a long spear inserted into the chest of a dead Khitan man, and threw it hard again, killing the man who was wielding two short handles. The Khitan people who were fighting together with the iron rod and a Song soldier holding a ring-shou sword were tied into skewers! Then he took out his bow and arrow, and shot while retreating a little unwillingly.
After taking a few dozen steps back, he discovered that the eight-niu crossbowmen who had just escaped had returned to their posts and were loading the eight-niu crossbows!
Behind them, a large horizontal team of more than 2,000 people was already in place - this large horizontal team was originally behind the horizontal team commanded by Li Xiaozhong. It was carrying a recognition flag with the word "xiang" and was commanded by General Xiang Ke under Zhao Kai.
The soldiers of this line now have their spears, knives and axes thrust downwards into the mud, and their free hands are holding divine arm crossbows... It seems that they are still fighting in the same way as last time, using skewers to force them. The golden thief takes the initiative to attack, then uses the divine arm crossbow to kill and weaken the enemy, and finally attacks with spears and axes!
In fact, this method of fighting is not very clever, but it is very practical - because the original "one soldier, one battle" has been changed to "preparation for three battles", the Song army under Niangziguan not only greatly improved their combat efficiency , and the formation is easy to maintain. There will be no confusion in the formation due to frequent substitutions between soldiers using different weapons.
Although in terms of the combat effectiveness of individual soldiers, these Song troops are still not as good as the Jurchens opposite, and even worse than the Khitan people. However, relying on the huge lethality of the Eight Bull Crossbow and the Divine Arm Bow, they still gained the upper hand in the first wave of formal competition between the two sides.
Just when Li Xiaozhong's troops withdrew to rest, the Khitan soldiers, who had been beaten violently by the Eight Bull Crossbows, Divine Arm Bows and two thousand Song Army soldiers, could no longer hold up and retreated with their armor removed - —In the battle just now, their losses were the worst, with a total of seven to eight hundred people killed and injured!
If Li Xiaozhong's men hadn't pestered them and beat them to death, making it difficult for them to escape the pursuit, even if the Jurchens were forcing them with heavy arrows, they would have collapsed long ago.
And this time the people in Sheyema did not dare to use heavy arrows to force the Khitans to die, because they also had to run away!
The Jurchens' martial arts are of course high, but their opponents don't have martial ethics. It's no joke to have 20 eight-niu crossbows there... one after another!
And in addition to the twenty eight-oxen crossbows, there are also 2,000 divine arm bows waiting to kill them!
What's even more hateful is that after shooting arrows, those divine arm archers can still pick up their spears and charge into the battle - isn't this too cruel? Is it unreasonable for one person to do the work of two people? How much military pay do they get?
There is nothing we can do if one Jurchen soldier can support several of them. Our population is too small! Your Song Dynasty clearly has 800,000 forbidden troops, why do you still fight like this?
Also... aren't all your 800,000 Imperial Guards that capable of fighting?
Although Wanyan Sheyema is not literate enough in Chinese characters, he is not stupid and has very rich combat experience. He will not stupidly hit the enemy's Eight Bull Crossbow and Divine Arm Bow.
So before the Song crossbowmen loaded their spears on the Eight Bull Crossbows, they issued the order to retreat... and after giving the order, they retreated first, without giving the other party a chance to tie themselves up. How cunning!
Yeluyu was speechless when he saw that his sons and daughters were "flocking together" one after another, and when he saw Wanyan Sheyema sneaking away more swiftly than a rabbit.
But after meeting Wanyan Sheye, he had to go up and praise him with a look of admiration... But the situation on the battlefield looked like the Dajin army had been defeated. How should he praise it?
When he was trying to think of words, Wan Yan She Ye Ma had already spoken first: "Du Jian, quickly withdraw your troops and return to the camp... The soldiers of Hun King Zhao Muji are very powerful, and the terrain here at Niangzi Pass is narrow. The cavalry is not very useful. So we can't defeat them, and we can't take Niangzi Pass. It seems that we can only set up a stronghold first and stalemate with them, and wait until my father takes down the pacification army."
This person is really not confused... Although Wanyan Sheyema is the third generation of the Kingdom of Jin, he seems to be a little worse than his father and ancestors, but he also grew up in the military, and his military ability is still good. of.
If he really hadn't hesitated, Wanyan Zonghan wouldn't have handed over tens of thousands of troops to him!
Now that Wanyanshe had tested the lives of seven or eight hundred Khitans, he already knew that those who came were tough.
Since they are all hard-hitting, don't think about taking Niangzi Pass from the opponent's hands. Instead, think carefully about how to block the opponent's offensive and prevent them from breaking through to the vicinity of Pingding Military City and ruining Wanyan Zonghan's plan.
After listening to Yan Sheye's order, Yelu Yujian breathed a sigh of relief - it seemed that his life could not be lost...
...
Zhao Kai, Han Shizhong, Liu Kai, Liu Ziyu, Chen Ji and others had already boarded a newly built elevated platform, holding on to the railings and looking at the battlefield. Seeing the gold thieves on the battlefield retreating towards the small camp located on the south bank of the Mianman River like an ebbing tide, Zhao Kai was already dancing for joy.
"Victory, victory... The lonely king has won, and the golden thief has lost! Hahaha, it seems that the lonely king is really the chosen one!"
This time we fought a real gold thief, not a fake gold thief like Guo Yaoshi. Moreover, Zhao Kai had no tricks to use this time, nor did he launch a surprise attack. It was a complete fight with real swords and guns, even the number of people was almost the same.
Even under such unfavorable circumstances, Zhao Kai still won for a while!
This can only mean that he is the chosen king sent by God to save the Great Song Dynasty from disaster!
"The king used his troops like a god, and he won the victory. He defeated the golden thieves. I am impressed by all my ministers!"
"The king's military use is comparable to that of Taizong of the Tang Dynasty. A mere gold thief is like a clown in front of the king. He will be destroyed by the king soon!"
"The king has won the first battle, and a great victory is expected. Now the danger is at hand. Even if the gold thief has millions, it will be difficult for him to do anything. I congratulate the king!"
"Your Majesty, I have been in the army for nearly 20 years, and I have never met a more powerful commander than your Majesty... It seems that God has blessed us in the Song Dynasty!"
The four civil servants and generals who followed Zhao Kai seemed to be convinced. They were flattering, no, they should be sincere words, but they were gushing!
Zhao Kai is also proud! The golden thief is so powerful that he has never met an opponent anywhere, but today he was defeated by me... Although this battle was commanded by Han Shizhong, I pieced together the more than 10,000 elite soldiers here. , I also boosted the morale of the soldiers bit by bit. Even the high standards and strict requirements of "being prepared for three battles" were also put forward by me after the Battle of Wei County.
"Good minister, what's the next fight?" Zhao Kai suddenly turned his head and looked at Han Shizhong expectantly, "Should we work together to break the gold thief's camp?"
"All in one go?" Han Shizhong never expected that Zhao Kai would make such a request... Could it be that he really wanted to fight all the way to pacify the Ding army?
"Your Majesty," Liu Kai hurriedly persuaded, "I have reliable information. There are many gold thieves besieging the Pingding Army. Their alliance has been deployed from outside the Pingding Army City to Shouyang County (actually they were blocked on the road). I'm afraid there are some Tens of thousands of people!
We might as well guard Niangzi Pass and prevent the thieves from leaving eastward... In this way, as long as the Kaifeng Mansion is victorious, our court will have a complete victory! "
"No, no..." Zhao Kai waved his hand, "Kaifeng Mansion cannot win, and the lonely king must save and pacify the military city!"
Han Shizhong looked helpless after hearing this, "Your Majesty, we only have ten thousand people!"
