"Golden Dog's hard-line army is here!"
The shrill cry of a soldier in charge of the flag rang out in Huang Wuji's formation.
Huang Wuji, who was concentrating on holding up the telescope and watching the divine arm archer under his hand shoot the golden soldier and kidnapper, quickly turned around and pointed the telescope at the front. After searching, I soon found a square formation of ten armored infantry. There are four to five hundred soldiers in each square. These golden soldiers are all wearing iron armor that glows with a dazzling cold light under the sun. They are holding long-handled weapons and carrying bows and arms. Jurchen walking bow.
Huang Wuji knew that this Jurchen soldier, who was wearing heavy armor and fighting on foot, was called the "hard army" in the Jin army.
In fact, Hard Army, Iron Buddha, and Guaizima can be interchanged. The elite Jurchens wearing armor and fighting on foot are the hard army, the men wearing armor and horse gear are the iron pagoda, and the light cavalry are the kidnapping horses when attacking. One soldier has three functions, he can fight on and off horseback, and his endurance is amazing. He can attack repeatedly and fight for a whole day without getting too tired.
Huang Wuji, who knew that the hard-line army of gold thieves was difficult to deal with, would dare to neglect him? He quickly opened his throat and shouted: "Generals in the front, change the formation, spears to meet the enemy, swords and spears at the back, archers and crossbowmen...the front team rushes into the formation and prepares! Cavalry generals, march into the formation to supervise the battle!"
Immediately, more shouts sounded from the front row of Huang Wuji's formation. This is the following generals, deputy generals, generals, preparation generals and team leaders conveying orders level by level. In response to their orders, the front line of the 10,000-person phalanx commanded by Huang Wuji, the side facing the Jinbing camp, immediately began to change formations.
The divine arm archers who were originally out shooting arrows began to "shrink" back and soon disappeared into the formation.
The pikemen who had previously lined up behind the divine arm archers began to take out the caltrops they carried and threw them forward with all their strength. These guys were obviously experienced, and they easily threw the caltrops into the grass twenty or thirty steps away - the land in this area was also barren, and the grass grew very high. Once the caltrops are thrown in, they will disappear!
The queue of swordsmen and axemen behind the pikemen also loosened up at this time. Many people rushed out and moved the horse rifles that were originally lying in front of the formation to the sides of several battalions, and even arranged them vertically to face the enemy - just It's like opening a door!
After moving the rifles, these people rushed back to their own team. At this time, there was another rapid sound of drums and drums in front of the Song Army formation. Then I saw the three rows of pikemen and the three rows of swordsmen behind the pikemen who were originally in a sparse formation, and they began to quickly move closer to the center, turning into a dense formation shoulder to shoulder. Among them, three rows of spearmen held three long spears, all of which were held flat and stretched forward.
In the end, thirteen or four hundred people shouted in unison: "Great Song Dynasty, ten thousand victories! Great Song Dynasty, ten thousand victories!"
Amidst the shouts, Huang Wuji's Song army was at the front of the formation, and at this moment, densely arranged spear points appeared!
The divine arm archers behind the spearmen and axemen were divided into two, and four relatively dense rows were listed on the left and right of the dense infantry formation in front. Those in the first row of the formation are all the best shooters. When the fight breaks out later, they will be responsible for firing cold arrows from behind!
The three rows of divine arm archers behind them were only responsible for pulling the strings and loading arrows.
Behind the god-armed archers, 1,000 cavalrymen wearing front and rear armor had formed a horizontal line. Everyone was holding a carbine, their faces were livid, and they were full of murderous intent.
This transformation, which is as smooth as clouds and flowing water, is the result of the hard training of "997" in the past few months!
Although the personal martial arts of these "reserve room slave soldiers" (most of whom did not make it to the first round of room allocation) are still much worse than those of the Jurchen soldiers, their battle level is enough to defeat the complete opponent. Yan Weli was no longer surprised... Just with this round of formation changes, even the elite Meng'an soldiers that Wan Yan Weli didn't take care of personally couldn't do it!
According to Wei Libu's own estimation, in order to achieve this level, the soldiers must be locked up in the military camp and practice hard every day. It will take several months of continuous training... Could it be that these Song soldiers have been training hard in the military camp every day in the past few months?
What are they trying to do by practicing like this?
Although Wanyan Youli knew that the Song army in front of him was difficult to deal with, he did not order to stop the attack.
Because the current situation no longer allows him to hesitate!
Now it’s time to meet on a narrow road and the brave one wins!
If his people could not defeat the Song Army formation in front of them, the consequences would be unimaginable!
Who knows when the pontoon bridge behind him will be broken by the Song Army's warships?
"Blow the drums! Blow the trumpets!"
Wanyan Youli didn't open his throat and loudly ordered around.
The sound of Jin soldiers' drums and bugles immediately resounded throughout the battlefield!
The Jin army, which was originally moving slowly in formation, heard the sound of drums and trumpets, and immediately quickened their pace and let out a series of strange screams!
Huang Wuji also became nervous, and the telescope in his hand almost became wet, but he just looked forward through the telescope intently... Suddenly, the formation of the golden soldiers in the eyepiece appeared slightly. In the chaos, some golden soldiers who were advancing with their heads covered stepped on an iron caltrop, and their feet were immediately pierced by sharp thorns filled with dung juice. Of course they were unable to stand under the severe pain, and they fell to the ground screaming. There was also some confusion in the formation of the Jin soldiers!
That's it now!
Huang Wuji loudly ordered: "Beat the drum!"
"Dong dong dong dong..." The intensive drumming sounded immediately.
When you hear the drum, you advance, when you hear the gold, you retreat.
The infantry soldiers of the Song Army, who had already set up a dense square formation, heard the sound of drums coming from behind, and shouted in unison: "Kill the enemy! Kill the enemy! Kill the enemy..."
Amidst the slogans of killing the enemy, one thousand three hundred and four hundred soldiers all stepped forward and launched a spear charge!
At the same time as the spear charge began, the divine arm archers on both wings also began to fire wooden feather arrows...the arrows were all fired, and the arrows hit the flesh!
Under the disturbance of the iron caltrops of the wooden feather arrows, the golden thief's hard army formation suddenly became chaotic, and the speed of advance also slowed down significantly.
The Song Army's spear formation took advantage of this opportunity and slammed into it. The Zhangsan long spear that was lying flat and leaning forward had the power to penetrate the iron armor with the help of huge inertia! When the two armies collided, the pop of the spear piercing the human body was heard one after another, followed by screams.
Not all of these spears that pierced the human body were held in the hands of the Song Army. Some of them were spears from the Jinren Hard Army and pierced into the bodies of the Song Army soldiers.
In front of both sides' formations, there were immediately corpses strewn all over the ground!
But you have to count the dead carefully. Most of the corpses that fell in this wave of attack are golden people!
"Unexpectedly..." Wanyan Wanli was extremely surprised when he didn't see the soldiers from both sides bumping into each other.
The infantry soldiers of the Song Dynasty were actually able to hold up their spears and confront the hard troops of the Jin Heavenly Soldiers like this!
Moreover, the formation of the Song people was obviously denser, their charging speed was faster, and their impact was certainly stronger!
This is no less elite than the Dajin Heavenly Soldiers!
But Wanyan Wanli didn't know that the advantage was still with the Dajin Heavenly Soldiers... because he had more hard-line troops and his martial arts skills must be better than those of the Song Army!
As long as the two sides fight hand-to-hand, there will be no suspense about who will win and who will lose.
Moreover... he still has 2,000 iron pagodas in his hand and can launch an attack at any time!
Because the infantry of the Song Army took the initiative to charge into the formation, their phalanx already had a gap, and it was time to throw themselves into Iron Buddha Tu.
"Iron Buddha...charge me!"
Without Wanyan Yi's order, the 2,000 Tiefutu cavalry, who had been waiting impatiently for a long time, split into two groups like thunder and lightning, and rushed toward the breach in the Song army's formation with a rumble... There seemed to be only a few rows of divine arm archers standing in the way!
Wanyan Wanli stood up on the stirrups, stretched her neck, held her breath, and just looked forward with concentration.
The large group of iron pagoda cavalry rushed faster and faster, their horse hooves hitting the ground, raising dust into the sky, and making a roar like rolling thunder. It seemed that the earth was shaking and the air was solidifying.
Who in the world can resist such a charge?
Just when Wanyan Yili didn't think that the attack was about to succeed, a burst of fire suddenly rose up in front of his eyes... No, this fire didn't rise up in front of his eyes, and it was about to rush to Song Dynasty. The eyes of the Iron Buddha cavalry in the military formation rose up.
The Song Army's cannons have been assembled and started firing sky fire!
These sky fires did not hit the charging Iron Buddha, but fell in front of their team. Although only 10 cans of fierce fire oil were ignited in total, the sky-high flames still made people, no, should make horses feel scared.
The Jinbing Iron Pagoda may not be afraid of death, but their war horses have never seen this scene!
Okay, the sky fire is coming... This is too scary, no, is it scaring the horse? The big Jurchen horses, who had never seen sky fire, immediately went crazy with fear, screaming and running around. None of the horses were brave enough to rush into the sea of fire. The arrogant Iron Buddha cavalry were just in chaos.
Of course, the Jurchen Iron Buddha who raised his horse was not that brave...because they were not sure whether these sky fires were magic? If so, they can't beat it. They can only attack with force, not with magic!
So they won't work very hard to control the horse and charge...
The iron pagoda was in chaos, and their charge was over before it even started.
On the Song Army's side, the cavalry originally lined up behind the divine arm archers seized the opportunity and immediately began to counterattack. But they didn't rush into the fire... They were also afraid, not of the fire, but of the Iron Buddha. Therefore, their attack target was only the two wings of the Jin's hard army that was "crowded" with their own pikemen and swordsmen.
These hard Jin soldiers could have suppressed the Song Army's infantry, but now they were charged by the Song Army's cavalry. They could no longer hold back and had to retreat in confusion.
The first wave of attacks launched by the Jin soldiers against Huang Wuji's troops was actually repelled like this!
At this moment, drums suddenly sounded loudly on the Wuzhang River, and the Song Army's warships began to charge!
