Fell into a trap!
Seeing the mule cart on fire, and hearing the sound of horse hooves and shouts of death all around, Yin Shu didn't know that he had fallen into the Song people's trick. But before he could give the order to retreat, there was another dense "thumping" sound in his ears. This sound was very soft, but it was a bit creepy to Yin Shuke's ears.
Because he knew that this sound with a metallic vibrating sound was made by the Song Dynasty's sharpest battlefield killing weapon, the Divine Arm Bow!
The Song people not only ambushed the cavalry and infantry, but also ambushed the divine arm archers in the dark!
The burning fire of the mule cart also sent a firing signal to the divine arm archers in the darkness! Countless wooden feather arrows shot out and rushed towards the large group of cavalry led by Yin Shuke!
Yin Shuke's reaction was very quick. Hearing the sound of the bowstring of the divine arm bow, he immediately fell on the horse and protected his head and face with a side card. But his right leg was still pricked twice by sharp arrows, and the sharp blades penetrated the flesh... It really hurt!
When Yin Shuke felt severe pain, the horse under his crotch suddenly let out a scream, and then fell forward, throwing Yin Shuke's injured thigh out. It turned out that the horse was shot by several wooden feather arrows, and one of them hit its throat without missing a beat, sealing its throat with one arrow!
Yin Shu, who fell down and suffered severe pain in his right leg, had no choice but to shout for help. But at this time, the battlefield was full of noise, with shouts of death, curses, exclamations, and tragic sounds everywhere. Despite the shouts and the sound of horse hooves getting closer and closer, no one heard Yin Shuke's cry for help.
The volley of divine arm bows just now was actually just an "appetizer" that Yue Fei could arrange for Yin Shu. The main purpose was to disrupt the already chaotic formation of the Jin soldiers with the volley of thousands of divine arm bows... .Preventing them from forming a team in time to confront the Song Army's cavalry.
It was the 800 "Red Turban Lancers" led by He Tianran who were responsible for launching the first wave of cavalry assault. The 800 cavalry had already formed eight hundred-man lines (two lines) and quietly followed the bait mule cart. When they saw the mule When the car caught fire, it immediately launched an attack towards the flames!
Eight teams of armored cavalry spread out on the flat land, one after another, and swept away with a rumble. The long-line guns that were one foot and three feet long were leveled and pointed straight ahead. The knights worked hard to control the speed of their horses, first accelerating and then gradually slowing down in order to adjust and maintain formation during the run.
After these eight teams of armored cavalry, a larger number of cavalry and infantry surged forward like a tide. Many of them held torches, and the firelight illuminated the red scarves wrapped on their helmets—— The purpose of wearing red scarves on their heads is just to distinguish ourselves from the enemy in the dark, but unintentionally, they further develop the brand of the Red Scarf Army!
On the battlefield, the sound of horse hooves became louder and louder, seeming to have covered up all the sounds between heaven and earth. In everyone's ears, only this thunderous roar was left!
This time, the Song Army's eight hundred "Red Scarf Cavalry" launched an attack in the darkness more than a hundred steps away from the enemy. This distance is really nothing to the running cavalry, it passes almost instantly.
Therefore, the time left for the opponent to regroup or escape was extremely short. Coupled with the blow of a round of wooden feather arrows, Yin Shuke's cavalry had no time to react, and they were killed by this group of unstoppable momentum from the darkness. The Song lancers were hit.
Although the light was too dim, it was almost like charging on horseback with your eyes closed. Although the red scarf cavalry could not maintain a too dense formation, and their charging speed was slower than when they charged into Soli Room B before. But the effect of charging the formation is surprisingly good!
Because strength and weakness on the battlefield are always relative.
If He Tianran's 800 red scarf lances compete with Jin Bing's cavalry, they may not be able to gain any advantage. But under the use of Li Fuchen and Yue Fei, they can exert their power to the extreme!
With the fires burning everywhere on the battlefield (in addition to the burning mule cart, a lot of hay was thrown on the battlefield used to ambush Yin Shuke, and they were all lit when the Song army pretended to be defeated), in the distance Zhao Kai, who was watching the formation, vaguely saw rows of cavalry with red scarves at their heads, rushing towards the scattered Jin army like a torrent. Every impact was rushed past without any sloppiness, giving the opponent no chance to engage in close combat. And after each attack, the already chaotic formation of the Jin soldiers will become even more chaotic, and at the same time it will become sparse... I don't know how many Jurchen cavalry members standing there were charged by the opponent's group. Knocked off his horse.
Eight hundred cavalry were divided into eight formations to attack one after another, and the effort was completed in the blink of an eye. After completing the attack, the cavalry neither showed any interest in fighting nor cut off heads for offensive labor. They just flew away and disappeared into the darkness, leaving a mess to the golden soldiers who were suddenly attacked.
But Jin Bing's disaster is not over yet!
Yue Fei also arranged two "big meals" for them. Immediately following the eight hundred red scarf cavalry were as many as 3,000 Yulin cavalry and Western Army cavalry (belonging to Qu Duan, Li Yongqi and others). They were not as orderly as the 800 Red Turban Cavalry, and they charged into formation from a relatively long distance. Many of them also carried torches for lighting, so they were unable to hold weapons.
But for the Jin soldiers who had been rushed by the red scarf cavalry, such a chaotic cavalry attack was still fatal!
In fact, the cavalry's horse is a weapon in itself, and it is enough to run into the enemy!
The Jurchens who were in chaos were unable to organize a cavalry group to confront the enemy. Although a single Jurchen warrior had already reacted and rushed towards the Song cavalry without fear of death. But in the face of the "collective power" of the Song people, what was the use of such an impact? At most, it's just someone who has a back-up before death!
Yin Shuke also died under this "collective power". He was hit by an arrow and fell from his horse, unable to fight at all. He could only watch helplessly as a group of Song cavalry, which did not run very fast and had no formation, trampled over them. ...He was trampled to death!
And his death does not mean the end of this "hunt"!
Because there are still thousands of Jurchen warriors on the battlefield who are still resisting - one round of divine arm bow shooting plus two rounds before and after, a total of more than 3,000 cavalry attacks although Yin Shuke's men were scattered and disrupted. He also killed and injured many of them!
But nearly half of the people were still safe and sound... After all, there were only 800 red scarf cavalry with powerful impact, and it was still night, so cavalry attack was not used.
However, Yue Fei did not intend to let them go. He also arranged a total of 3,000 infantry soldiers for these golden soldiers!
Soldiers armed with spears, long knives and long-handled battle axes, after the second round of the Song Army's cavalry attack, came trotting all the way to kill people!
Before they arrived, the divine arm archers who had just fired a round of wooden feather arrows launched a second round of volleys, knocking down many people and horses, and some of the more clever Jurchens already knew that nothing could be done. , began to slip away quietly, disappearing into the boundless darkness.
Most of these Jurchens who slipped away went towards the fire that was lit at an unknown moment in the north - it was the main force led by Wanyan Zonghan who was shooting at several sections of the "meter wall" with rockets!
This night, the battlefield between Funiu Mountain and Jishan Mountain was really lively!
The Jurchens who did not slip away gathered together under the command of two Jurchen Mouke under Yin Shuke, and desperately resisted the siege of the Song army!
Because at least half of them were dead or injured, they decided not to fight on horseback. Instead, they formed an infantry formation and fought to the death with spears, bows, arrows, swords, shields, and maces!
Three thousand foot armor and three thousand divine arm archers, under the command of Yue Fei, took turns to attack - after shooting the divine arm bow, the foot armor charged, and when the foot armor couldn't charge any longer, switch to the divine arm bow and shoot again!
Anyway, the surrounding battlefield is still under the control of the Song Army's cavalry for the time being, and there is no fear of these dismounted Jin soldiers escaping... The question is just when will Wanyan Zonghan break through the Song Army's right wing defense?
While Zhao Kai and Yue Fei were commanding their troops to ambush Yin Shuke, the right wing of the Song Army was also under great pressure!
Falling is only a matter of time!
Once the right wing is lost, Zhao Kai and Yue Fei will have to retreat to the left wing, which has not yet been attacked. They will rely on the remaining channels of Funiu Mountain to adjust their defenses and continue the confrontation with Wanyan Zonghan.
One side has no way to escape, while the other side is determined to defeat the enemy!
You can imagine how fierce the fighting was. The fierce fighting lasted until dawn! After fighting fiercely all night and paying a considerable price, the Song army finally destroyed this group of Jin soldiers, and then under the leadership of Zhao Kai and Yue Fei, they dragged their tired pace and withdrew southward.
Before they retreated, Wanyan Zonghan also used his superior troops and the power of rockets to inflict heavy losses on the Miao Fu tribe on the right wing of the Song army and had to withdraw from the battlefield. Moreover, both warring parties set fire to several miles of rice walls, and the fire was still not extinguished until dawn.
A night of fierce fighting, coupled with the previous march, had made both warring parties exhausted.
So when it became brighter, both sides unanimously chose to gather their forces. At this time, Wanyan Zonghan also knew that silver skills were more dangerous than bad.
He is now on a hilltop on the edge of Jishan Mountain, looking at the foggy battlefield in the south, his eyes wide open, as if he is looking forward to the safe return of Yin Shu!
"Dad, we just got an urgent report from Xi Yin!" Wanyan Xiebao appeared behind Zong Han at some point, "The camps in Dengfeng and Mi County were really attacked by the Song army... Sons and gentlemen The loss is not small, I’m afraid I won’t be able to hold on for a few more days!”
"But Yin Shu hasn't come back yet..."
Wanyan Zonghan knew what his son meant—this coward was trying to persuade him to withdraw his troops!
We can't fight any longer!
If the fight continues, the escape route may be cut off!
Moreover, the Song army led by Zhao Kai was also very difficult. Even if they could win, the losses would be too great...the gains would not be worth the losses!
But the silver skill is gone!
Even though the losses of the Jin soldiers were similar to those of the Song army, and they burned half of Zhao Kai's army rations and took away many mules and carriages, the loss of a single Yin Shuke was enough to make Zhao Kai the winner again!
"Dad, it's going to rain!" Wanyan Xiebao could only continue to persuade, "This place is surrounded by mountains on three sides. Once there is a heavy rain, flash floods will easily occur. Then we can..."
