Why did Long Live charge?
Wanyan Zongwang couldn't believe his eyes and ears. Song Jun was so frightened just now, but suddenly he exploded and rushed forward shouting "Long live"!
Just as surprised as Wanyan Zongwang were the Jurchen soldiers who followed him in chasing Liu Yanqing. They were actually already tired troops. He fought with the Song army on Wannian Xindi for several days, and then charged at the Song army with the greatest strength, destroying the Song army in one fell swoop, and then chased Liu Yanqing's defeated troops for dozens of miles... .... Fortunately, they are all "old Jurchens" who fought all the way through the white mountains and black waters. They endure hardships, endure hardships, have abundant physical strength, and have extremely high morale. Otherwise, I will be too tired!
But even so, after such a long period of fighting and chasing, it is inevitable that people will be exhausted and horses will be exhausted. So when they encountered the Song Army who suddenly started charging, it was really hard to resist.
However, Wanyan Zongwang is not someone to be trifled with. He knows best about the melee between armies at night, and he fights with great momentum.
Don't be cowardly, whoever gives in will fail!
Seeing that the people under him were getting scared, Wanyan Zongwang didn't think too much, and didn't ask why his opponent suddenly exploded... Once the opponent's momentum increased, the consequences would be disastrous! After all, there are many opponents, maybe 30,000 or 40,000, and if they all launch a long-lived charge, I don’t know who will win this battle tonight!
Thinking of this, Wanyan Zongwang hurriedly shouted: "Seri!"
"Someone is here!"
Immediately, a strong Jurchen man wearing a dirty white robe, with wet braids and beard, responded.
This man is also a member of the Wanyan family - the Wanyan family has been really great in the past few decades. With so many stars and talents, it is no wonder that there are no seats for the lackeys who have come to join them. This Wanyan's Chinese name is Zongxian, and he is a brother of the same generation as Wanyan Zongwang. There is another famous bandit in history, King Gaitian!
He had previously captured Yelu Yanxi with Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyanchang. This time, the Southern Expedition was assigned to Wanyan Zongwang's men, and they fought all the way to Kaifeng City. However, except for the battle of Wannian Dam, he never fought a good fight in this battle against the Song Dynasty... and the battle of Wannian Dam was not interesting in his opinion, it was just the Song people going to die one after another.
But tonight's night battle looks a bit interesting, Song Jun's momentum has increased a bit!
When Song Jun's momentum increased, Wanyan Seri stood directly on the saddle of his horse, stretching his neck and looking around. This guy was born with a pair of "night eyes" and his ears are also very bright. When Wanyan Zongwang called him, he had already discovered where the key point of the battlefield was?
"Where is the enemy general?" Wanyan Zongwang also knew that he was observing the battlefield - standing so high and stretching his neck to look everywhere, what else could he be doing if he wasn't observing the enemy's situation?
Wanyan Seri shouted: "The enemy general is at the mountain gate of the temple ahead... The Song soldiers near the mountain gate are the most powerful!"
"Okay!" Wanyan Zongwang said, "Seri, you are the forward, and a certain family will follow you... let's charge together for a while!"
"Yes!" Wanyan Saili responded, stepped forward with his feet, slid down with the saddle between his legs, and sat firmly on the horse's back. Then I saw him taking a carbine from a person beside him, waving it forward, opening his throat and shouting, "My sons, follow a certain family... The enemy is at the mountain gate!" "
"The enemy is at the mountain gate! The enemy is at the mountain gate..."
Now the Jin soldiers on the Zhenshui Guan battlefield stopped shouting "The flood is coming" and instead shouted "The enemy is at the mountain gate". This is not just a random shouting, but a way to point out the direction of attack for your companions.
It was night now, and while the Jin soldiers were chasing the enemy, the command system was in chaos. The generals could not find the soldiers, the soldiers could not find the generals, and the normal command transmission system was gone. Therefore, we can only use the most primitive method to mobilize troops-rely on roaring!
Of course, in this case, the morale of the troops is very important. Because when superiors give orders, they have to shout, and when subordinates execute them, they have to be conscious... If anyone slips away, there is no supervising team to find him!
In this era, the morale of the Jurchen Golden Soldiers is sufficient. A group of mountain barbarians have become nobles. Of course, they are very arrogant. That is, the army of "useless" Zhao Kai, who is clamoring every day to share the world with warriors, can compare with them - -Both sides are trying to "conquer the world and divide the oil and water"! Moreover, most of the soldiers on both sides are relatively simple and believe that they can really share the benefits.
So when the roar of "The enemy is at the mountain gate" resounded throughout the battlefield, the Jurchens who were originally scattered everywhere fighting with the Song people all gathered at the gate of the Taoist temple!
But that's not the case with Zhao Ji. The Kaifeng soldiers are veterans from generation to generation. They don't believe in the idea of "conquering the world and dividing the oil and water"! If they really had a share, their ancestors would have shared it. Therefore, when watching the night battle in Zhenshui, only the Kaifeng soldiers close to the mountain gate were inspired by Zhao Ji's presence in the battle, and the others had to flee whether they should. Especially when the gold thieves they were fighting with began to gather at the mountain gate, their chance to escape came!
As for Liu Yanqing's Qin soldiers, running away has become a habit and cannot be changed... Oh, there are also some who did not run away, such as Liu Yanqing himself. I don't know what he was thinking. After arriving at Zhenshui Temple, he immediately ran to see Zhao Ji, but in the end he couldn't go anywhere.
So tonight, those who are really working hard to fight the gold thief for Zhao Ji are the Shengjie Army and Ban Zhi stationed in the Taoist Temple, as well as a small number of Kaifeng Song soldiers outside the Taoist Temple Gate, and Liu Yanqing's personal soldiers. If you add one more, that's five to six thousand people, which is less than the number of golden soldiers brought by Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Saili!
When a large number of Jin soldiers swarmed in with the slogan "The enemy is at the mountain gate", the Song troops who were protecting Zhao Ji began to be unable to hold on.
And at this moment, Zhao Ji woke up from the wine!
When you wake up from alcohol, you become cowardly!
To be honest, he didn't even know how he ended up on the battlefield!
He remembered that he was drinking and reciting poems with others in a nice house just now, and why he suddenly went to the battlefield... And it was such a chaotic, dark and scary battlefield, with all kinds of sounds that were scary to listen to. Mixed together, they surged toward him like waves.
"What's going on? Why did the fight start? Who are you fighting with?"
As soon as the people protecting him heard this, they knew that the official had sobered up and that something was going to be bad!
Because Zhao Ji went to the battlefield carrying a lantern!
The Song soldiers around are watching! If he deserts now, the morale of the Song Army will collapse immediately, and it will be all over!
Tong Guan, who was experienced in the battlefield, quickly supported Zhao Ji (for fear that he would faint), "The officials are not afraid...it's just that thousands of gold thieves are coming."
Just a few thousand gold thieves?
Zhao Ji was confused at that time and shouted: "Hurry, hurry up and protect me..."
After shouting, Zhao Ji turned around and ran into the Taoist temple, but was caught by two filial sons, Zhao Shu and Zhao Zhen.
"Father... Taoist temples are not cities and cannot be defended!"
"Father, the Taoist temple is made of wood. If it catches fire at once, it will be burned to death!"
Zhao Ji thought it right and asked the filial son beside him, "What should I do?"
"Kill out!" Liu Yanqing shouted, "Guan family, before the gold thieves are fully surrounded... I will protect you and fight out!"
After all, Liu Yanqing was a battle-hardened man and knew that he would die if he continued to fight like this!
Although the battlefield seems to be evenly matched now, the actual situation must be that the Song army suffered heavy casualties and few Jin soldiers died.
The reason why the Song army can still maintain its strength is firstly because of the false fire set up by the officials before the battle; secondly because it was too dark and the Jin soldiers were a little confused. I wonder how big their advantage is?
So if you want to escape, you have to do it now!
"What Liu Taiwei said is very good!" Tong Guan also spoke. The old man was almost going crazy with anxiety. He quickly said to Zhao Ji: "I have summoned 300 groups of strong men... They can ride horses and can protect the enemy." Fight with His Majesty out!"
They both know how to ride horses...that sounds really inspiring!
"But, but I..." Zhao Ji's voice trembled as he spoke, and he almost burst into tears, "I'm scared, my legs are trembling, and I can't ride a horse!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a wine gourd was handed over. Zhao Ji saw that it was his son Zhao Zhen who was holding the gourd for himself.
"Shizuro, what are you..."
"Father, this is the wine I prepared for you!"
"Fine wine?" Zhao Ji didn't understand. What did this mean?
"Drink more, and your father won't be afraid when you get drunk!" The tall boy, who was sixteen or seventeen years old, said with a serious face.
Yes, when you get drunk you are no longer the coward Zhao Ji, you become Koto Shuro...
Zhao Ji was really anxious and crazy. He believed the words of a young man. He took the wine gourd, pulled out the stopper and started drinking it himself!
Not to mention, after one gourd of wine, Zhao Ji really gained courage. After a while, his eyes and face were red, and he looked almost crazy. Then he staggered and said: "Liu Yanqing, you take the lead..." ..The leader of this cult, the Emperor, is pressing down on the enemy, and is going to open a bloody path! Fight out!"
What? Should I take the lead?
Liu Yanqing is really looking for death now. He originally wanted to protect Zhao Ji and run away, but now he is forced to take the lead by a drunken official... I don't know if he will be beaten as a loyal hero (Liu Yanqing) Yanqing really died in the war against Jin in history)?
........
Chapter 131 Death of Zhao Ji - Zhuang Zong's death and Song Youzhong! (Please collect and recommend)
It was early morning on April 26, the eighth year of Xuanhe in the Song Dynasty.
When the sky finally got a little brighter, more than a thousand cavalrymen had already formed a formation like three long walls in front of the Zhenshui Temple by the Wuzhang River!
Among them, the more than 300 soldiers of Liu Yanqing were at the front of the queue. The faces under their helmets were so green that they were almost dripping with water - full of regret!
They were all soldiers who had been following Taiwei Liu for many years and had not fought well in the army for many years. When the situation is good, they will follow Taiwei Liu to rob, and when the situation is not good, they will protect Taiwei Liu and escape... They have never thought about such things as fighting for their lives!
They originally thought that following Liu Taiwei, the commander-in-chief, they could safely die on the bed of illness. Unexpectedly, they were forced to die on the front line and became "death soldiers". Thinking about it now, it is difficult not to die!
Because Lieutenant Liu is now leading 300 Shengjie soldiers with uglier faces than them to set up in the second row...Liu Yanqing has already spoken, he and the 300 Shengjie soldiers are There is no way to retreat! If his soldiers dare to flee or delay in advancing, they will directly greet him with carbine!
Of course, Liu Yanqing was forced to be so loyal and brave... There was a drunk official who wanted to be loyal!
Moreover, this drunk and crazy official was facing the three hundred people on duty at the front of the hotel who also drank a lot, and several princes, as well as Tong Guan, Gao Qiu and other accompanying officials formed a third row of cavalry. Stand behind Liu Yanqing!
Oh my god, there are more than 300 drunkards riding big horses, holding knives and guns behind them... This is a drunk driver! No one cares about it, so what about the laws of heaven? Who will take care of it?
The emperor's "drunk driving" has no control over the matter of heaven, let alone human desires. The only one who can control it now is Jin Bing.
While Zhao Ji was drinking wine and waiting for Tong Guan, Gao Qiu, Liu Yanqing and Zhang Shizheng, the ministers who knew how to lead troops, the Buller Cavalry, Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Saili had already led the Jin soldiers to guard the Zhenshui Guan gate. The Song army outside was wiped out. The two of them thought that the Song army would shrink into the temple (actually a Taoist temple dedicated to the water god) and defend it. Unexpectedly, the Song army actually lined up three rows of cavalry, and it looked like there were more than a thousand cavalry.
Does this mean you want to rush into battle? Dajin soldiers are not afraid!
Wanyan Zongwang immediately ordered Wanyan Seri to mobilize two thousand cavalry, and arranged them outside Zhenshui Temple in a cavalry hedging posture.
Two thousand gold soldiers! Although it is not an iron pagoda, it is just a cavalry configuration (in fact, most of them have heavy armor, but they just stayed in Wannian Xindi and did not bring it), but it is enough to deal with more than a thousand Song Army cavalry.
Therefore, everyone including Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Saili were quite relaxed, as if they were just waiting to beheaded.
"Dong dong...dong...dong dong dong..."
At this time, the rhythm sounded very wrong and the drum sound (probably a drunken banzhi knight beating randomly) was already ringing... This is the death drum! So a loud cry came next!
It seems like...the Song cavalry is crying!
The Jin soldiers on the battlefield were dumbfounded. Why were these Song people crying? Did it scare us to tears? Since you are so scared, why should you move forward?
Could it be a scam?
"Woooo..."
While the Jin soldiers were thinking wildly, Wanyan Zongwang ordered the trumpets to be blown, causing the cavalry led by Wanyan Seri to charge.
The cavalry on both sides were already fighting. Not to mention the Song people crying, even if the Song cavalry on the opposite side imitated the tiger call, the Jin soldiers had to charge. Otherwise, when the Song Army cavalry on the opposite side charges hard, but the Jin soldiers cannot charge, they will be defeated.
And no one will be afraid of a group of enemies crying on the battlefield! I was so frightened that I even cried and even got a shiver!
Liu Yanqing was also crying at this time, because he knew that this time he had a narrow escape from death... He had been a soldier for most of his life, but at the end of the day he was forced to become a loyal martyr. Isn't this life too hard?
You have to admit that your life is hard!
Because a group of drunkards behind him were fighting hard to move forward, and their spears might have almost touched Liu Yanqing's back!
At this time, Zhao Ji was in a very strange state - he seemed to be riding in the clouds, dizzy, and swaying back and forth. Moreover, he did not pull the reins with his hands, but even so, he did not move from the horse. Fall on your back! Even the drunk Zhao Ji himself was a little surprised. Could it be that this Daojun Emperor is really an immortal descended from the earth and has an immortal physique, so he can ride a horse without holding the reins? It's so interesting...
In fact, he was firmly tied to the saddle with ropes by his two filial sons (Zhao Shu and Zhao Zhen), so he would not fall off no matter how he swayed.
Moreover, Tong Guan rode beside Zhao Ji. The old man personally held the reins of Zhao Ji's horse and controlled the horse for him.
However, not all drunkards were treated like this. After only a hundred steps, dozens of drunken Banzhi knights had already fallen off their horses!
And when the drunk driving accident occurred, the "Crying Knight" of the Song Dynasty in front was also forced to collide with the golden thief's cavalry!
This is the life path they chose, and they have to go to the end even if they cry!
There were more gold thieves than them, and the front was of course wider. When running, a crescent-shaped pocket formation was formed. This was to catch all the "Crying Knights" and the "Drunk Driving Knights" behind them. Put it in!
But it's impossible for the crying knights to run away... because the "drunk driver" Zhao Ji is right behind them, and he also brings with him countless drunken and crazy Banzhi knights!
And these people have no idea how to fight on horseback! When charging into battle on horseback, the cavalry will either form a row or a group. If they charge in rows, the cavalry in the rows must be separated from each other, so that collisions are less likely to occur, and after the front row completes the impact, it is easier to retreat and regroup.
If you charge in groups, you must keep a distance between groups, and the number of cavalry in each group cannot be too many. If there are a hundred cavalry, it will be over.
But now the drunken "Drunk Knights" were galloping, faster and faster, and the spears in their hands were about to penetrate the "Crying Knight"'s back.
It is true that moving forward is death, and not moving fast enough is even worse...
"Wow wow wow..."
"Straight bitch, you're not going to survive!"
"Liu Taiwei, see you in the next life..."
"God damn it, why don't you let me live!"
"Gold Thief, I will fight with you!"
Amidst the cries, the "Crying Knights" of the Song Dynasty, who were running faster and faster, almost flying, finally collided with the oncoming Golden Thief Cavalry!
Then I saw the knights on both sides falling off their horses one after another like dumplings being dropped!
These people were all swept off or poked off their horses by the opponent's spear. No matter how they got off, they were all in danger - such a high horse speed, and there were so many people trampling on them. Horseshoe, is this still possible?
Oh, there are also some cavalrymen on both sides who don’t know what happened. They fell down together with their horses. This is even worse. If one mistake is made, the horses weighing hundreds of kilograms will be heavily crushed... Even if they are not killed on the spot, they will be disabled for life. Fortunately, their life is short. Because the distance between the Song Army's rear cavalry and the front row was too close, they didn't give the front row any time to evacuate before they slammed into them.
This collision not only made the "crying knight" of the Song Army cry, but also stunned the Jin soldiers on the opposite side. They actually had a huge advantage in the first wave of attacks - there were many people, many horses, a tight formation, and superb individual equestrian skills. With so many advantages gathered, of course the Song Army's "Crying Knight" was knocked off his feet. If you count it in detail, the exchange ratio between the two sides has reached one to three and one to four!
However, the advantageous Jin Bing cavalry had no time to evacuate, and together with their opponents, they were hit by the 300 Victory Cavalry led by Liu Yanqing, who were pressing forward from behind.
Although Liu Yanqing came from a family of generals, his wealth was gained on the battlefield with swords and spears when he was young. When he was more than ten years old, he followed his elders to fight against the Western bandits (Xi Xia). He can be regarded as a decent man! It's just that he became more and more timid as he became rich, and today's attack actually made him regain the feeling of his youth...
It’s great to be young!
After inserting the spear in his hand into the chest of a stunned gold thief warrior, Liu Yanqing felt as if he had returned to the good old days when he was a young man joining the army, brave and fearless, and roaming the battlefield... At that time, he, Liu Yanqing, was also a What a man!
It's a pity that Liu Yanqing doesn't have much time to recall the "kind of life" in the past, because the balance of his life has been exhausted!
Just after he led two to three hundred knights to break through the first row of the Golden Thief Cavalry, the second row of the Golden Thief Cavalry had already rushed dozens of steps away.
At this time, the war horse under Liu Yanqing's crotch had begun to slow down, and the spear in his hand was inserted into the chest of a gold thief and did not withdraw.
Facing the oncoming gold thieves and the spears in their hands, Liu Yanqing had only one chance to die!
Die like a true martyr!
When Liu Yanqing's body was pierced by the spear in Jin Bing's hand, Zhao Ji and his more than two hundred "drunk knights" had already begun their final desperate charge!
Because Liu Yanqing and the more than 200 victory cavalrymen in front had already collided with the second row of Jinthief's cavalry. Although they did not win, they also disrupted the formation of the Jin soldiers, and there were also some victory troops. The military cavalry and the Jin soldiers started fighting hand-to-hand, so the second row of the Jin soldiers' cavalry also became chaotic.
At this time, more than 200 squads of straight cavalry and a group of princes and officials rushed up surrounded by Zhao Ji who was still drunk.
Facing this group of cavalry that had already charged, even the Golden Soldiers and Guaizima in their heyday could not stop them without losing speed and becoming confused. So in one rush, Zhao Ji and his men actually made a breakthrough!
Of course, what Zhao Ji has broken through now is only the bottom of the two crescent-shaped formations of the Jin Thieves Cavalry - the Jin soldiers have more soldiers and are listed in two rows, while the Song soldiers are smaller but arranged in three rows. Therefore, the front of the Song Army's cavalry was much narrower than that of the opponent, and the opponent's horizontal formation turned into a crescent shape when running.
After Zhao Ji and others broke through the center of the Jin cavalry formation one after another, the two wings of the Jin soldiers did not spread out, but surrounded them. However, they did not pounce on them for melee combat - the heroic performance of the Song cavalry just now had already overwhelmed them. He was frightened, so he adopted typical light cavalry tactics to deal with Zhao Ji and the others, that is, following them from a distance and shooting arrows!
Zhao Ji, who was wearing a golden helmet and golden armor, was in dire straits now. His goal was too obvious. He had a golden helmet and golden armor, and he had people protecting him like stars over the moon. It was clear that he was a general!
Therefore, as long as they could get Zhao Ji's Jin Army cavalry, they would greet him with armor-breaking heavy arrows, not only shooting people, but also shooting horses!
It was like a rain of arrows, all falling on Zhao Ji and the butt of the war horse under Zhao Ji's crotch!
Zhao Ji was protected by armor. Although he was hurt by the heavy arrows that kept falling, his life was not in danger for the moment.
But the war horse under his crotch failed. After a while, his butt was full of arrows. From a distance, it looked like a piece of white feathers!
There were also a few heavy arrows that directly hit the hind legs of the war horse. The hind legs had to be pushed hard, so how could they exert force even after inserting a few heavy arrows? The horse immediately became lame, let out a faint scream, and fell to the ground! And because Zhao Ji's thigh was tied to the saddle, he couldn't escape at all. He also fell to the ground with him, and one of his legs was pressed by the body of the horse!
This fright made Zhao Ji sober. After he woke up, he was completely frightened. He only saw a large group of golden thieves cavalry wearing white robes and holding bows and arrows, shooting arrows at him and charging at him. Come.
It’s over!
He's about to die... and he's still dead!
Zhao Ji is so heartbroken!
Officials who died in battle...there are not many in history, right? It seems that the last person killed in battle was Tang Zhuangzong! Am I going to become Song Zhuangzong soon?
This is all caused by that treacherous son Zhao Kai. No, I have to issue an edict to punish him severely!
Thinking of this, Zhao Ji opened his throat and shouted: "Pass the imperial edict, Sanlang Zhao Kai... ah!"
Before Zhao Ji finished speaking his last edict, a deadly heavy arrow hit him squarely in the throat!
Song Huizong, no, there is no Song Huizong, it was Song Zhuangzong Zhao Ji who died!
