When Wanyan Wanli used all his strength and ordered his Tiefutu to dismount, followed behind the hard-line soldiers, and marched forward against the sky fire of the Song army. The camp behind him was also on fire. The flames flickered and the smoke rose into the sky, as if telling every Jin soldier on the south bank of the Wuzhang River that their communication with the main force of the Jin soldiers north of the Wuzhang River had been cut off!
They have no way out! Even the tents where they slept at night were burned into a sea of flames by the Song army's sky fire, and even the rations and fodder they left in the camp were burned by the sky fire!
Now they can only survive on the rations they carry with them... which is only three days of rations and some concentrate for the horses.
However, these Jin soldiers whose camp was burned down by the fire and whose retreat was cut off may not have a chance to starve to death.
Because soon there will be 100,000 elite Song troops carrying "sky fire jars" and cannons that throw sky fire, and they will come over in a mighty manner. If Wanyan Youli and his Jin soldiers could not defeat the Song army in the way before the 100,000 elite Song troops broke through the blockade of Wanyan Yanmu's troops, opening a circuitous passage to the southwest. Then they might not survive until they run out of food - well, these gold thieves have been confused by the sky fire and the Song Army war fleet on the Wuzhang River, so they greatly overestimated their opponents and thought they were in a desperate situation!
However, it was precisely because of this misunderstanding that the struggle of the Jurchen warriors under Wanyan Yili was completely inspired.
They were like more than 10,000 trapped and injured beasts, ready to fight to the death with all their strength.
In this case, the sky fire jars thrown by the ten cannons were not enough to scare the desperate Jin soldiers.
This is the most powerful warrior in the world in this era, and he is risking his life to fight. You can imagine the power that explodes.
Under the urging of Wan Yan Youli's unwillingness to dismount from Tiefutu, the hard-line soldiers who were pushed in front also became violent. They faced the increasingly dense rain of arrows and started to burn forward with their heads covered. Rush into the sea of fire! He screamed strangely while rushing back. I don't know if he was burned or something happened?
However, none of these hard-line Jin soldiers who risked their lives to rush into the "sea of fire" were actually burned to death. At most, they were burned or their beards and hair were burned by the fire. After all, those fierce fire oil cans shattered when they hit the ground, and the fierce fire oil spilled on the grass. Although the fire that was ignited was astonishingly powerful, it had insufficient stamina, and it was difficult to burn the Golden Soldiers... As long as they rushed through the sea of fire fast enough, they would basically not be burned. Unless a "sky fire jar" could fall among them and let the fierce fire oil splash on them, the burning would be terrible.
It's a pity that the ten counterweighted cannons in Huang Wuji's army are not used to hit moving targets at all, and they pose no threat to these hard-line gold thieves who are desperately rushing forward with their heads covered. Although there was a round of fighting during the charge of the hard troops, the 10 jars of fierce fire oil thrown out were all thrown too far and fell between the hard troops and the iron pagoda held by the war supervisor.
After the fierce fire oil jar shattered, it ignited the nearby grass, igniting ten piles of blazing fires at once, and the fire continued to spread. It was still a bit scary to look at... so much so that the hard soldiers who were escorting them just now The brave people who dismounted from the iron pagoda slowed down while moving forward, and some people turned back to look at Obi.
This embarrassed Wanyan Yili who personally directed the advancement of Tiefu Tu! Should he lead his troops and advance under fire? Or should we go around from both sides? If you're going to walk on fire...it looks hot! If you want to go around it, it’s a bit daunting!
The army is panicking now, so don't be cowardly!
Thinking of this, Wanyan Wanli couldn't help but shouted: "Jurchens, why are you afraid of a mere wildfire? Follow a certain family, let's go through it together!"
As he spoke, he took big steps and looked as brave as if he was about to go into the sea of fire.
The Jurchen Iron Buddha below him saw that he was about to rush into the fire, and immediately gained momentum, and they all shouted "Second Prince! Second Prince!". Then these iron pagodas did not wait for Oli to enter the sea of fire first, and they lined up and rushed into the sea of fire one by one.
Seeing that there are all ruthless people underneath, Wanyan Wanli had no choice but to be ruthless to herself - their generation of Jurchen "Da Wanyan" is actually very curled up! Most people of the "Zong" generation are ruthless people, and Nianhan (Zong Han) is the most ruthless, so he is called the eldest prince Nianhan. And he was called the Second Prince of Bodhisattva by the people of Zong Wang. How could he have such a nickname without being ruthless?
Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth, stamped his feet, closed his eyes, covered his head and face with the tag hanging on his arm, and rushed into the fire with his head covered. He felt a burst of hot air coming towards him with such ferocity that it seemed like it was going to turn the Bodhisattva Second Prince into a BBQ Second Prince! But the heat went away quickly. In just a moment, the second prince of Dajin, Yi Li, withstood the test of fire, and he was not burned yet!
Nothing happened at all!
After rushing out of the sea of fire, Wanyan Wanli looked specifically at his robes, but they were not on fire and did not see a single spark. He wondered in his mind: Could it be that this prince, following the saying that real dragons are not afraid of fire, is the legendary incorrigible one?
Thinking that he might not be a mortal, Wanyan Wanlibu's pride suddenly rose up. He shouted again, drew out his machete and pointed forward: "Young men, charge! Kill!"
The iron pagodas under him also became energetic, shouting loudly "Second Prince, Second Prince" and hugged Oli and moved forward together.
However, Yi Li never expected that the scene of him drawing his sword, shouting, and being surrounded by people could be clearly seen by Huang Wuji, the general of the Song Army who was on a lookout five or six miles away, and Huang Wuji could even see his doughy Bodhisattva face!
It’s not that Huang Wuji’s eyesight is particularly good, but that Huang Wuji is holding a black-tech weapon for “battlefield intelligence collection”—a telescope!
Moreover, Huang Wuji also recognized Wanyan Yibu!
Because Wanyan Wobu's appearance is so unique, other "big Wanyan"s all look very fierce, with an unshaven beard and a fleshy face. He looks like a savage who eats raw meat. But Yi Libu was an exception. He had a particularly kind face like a Bodhisattva, a kind brow, a double chin, and big earlobes.
It’s hard not to be famous for this look!
While Huang Wuji was staring at Onli with evil intentions, the situation on the battlefield had become quite unfavorable to the Song army.
The hard-line soldiers of the Jin Army who had also stepped through the sea of fire were now more energetic. With the dead soldiers in double heavy armor holding spears as the guide, they rushed towards the Song Army's phalanx like a tide. The Song Army's divine arm archers had also retracted at this time, retreating behind the spearmen and axemen. The spearmen and axemen who had been throwing arrows to prevent the Jin soldiers from advancing now also put away their bows and arrows, raised their spears or long-handled axes, and then in the rapid sound of drums and drums, , and launched an attack against the spears of the golden soldiers!
It's lance versus lance!
The sharp spear points and spear points were intertwined and pierced the opponent's soldier's body!
Because both sides took advantage of the run-up to add huge inertia to the spear points and spear points, the soldiers on both sides fell immediately. Then the soldiers holding long-handled axes and maces rushed forward with shouts and fought together. The shouts of death, the screams of dying, and the collision of metal weapons were mixed together, one after another!
The sound of bowstrings soon joined in. Huang Wuji had already held it in his hand as a general of the reserve team, and placed it outside the circular formation of vehicles within the square formation. There are now more than 2,000 soldiers, all holding infantry bows and divine arm bows in formation and shooting.
The Tiefutu led by Wo Libu also carried horned bows and quivers, and now they also rushed behind their own hard troops. Although corpses were scattered all over the place in front, the Iron Buddha behind was unable to join the fight for a while. So Oli couldn't help but ask Tiefutu below to take out his horn bow and shoot arrows.
The arrows and wooden feather arrows from both sides were densely intertwined in the bloody air. They all flew over the heads of the soldiers who were fighting to the death, and then landed hard in the middle of the soldiers who were shooting with their bows.
Different from the situation in the last wave of offensive, Jin Bing really went all out this time! Wanyan You couldn't help but rush up, so naturally he wouldn't let the people below save their energy. The tens of thousands of households under his command are now as high as possible... so more than 15,000 troops have been invested, most of which are pressed against the front of Huang Wuji's square formation. Of course, there is a big advantage in fighting for human lives. Although the death toll on both sides is soaring rapidly, and there are more and more corpses in front of both sides, the balance of victory is still slowly tilting towards Jin Bing.
As the casualties increased, the Song army could no longer withstand it and was pushed back step by step by the Jin soldiers. But they didn't collapse because Huang Wuji had already been prepared. What he set up this time was a true "square and circle formation", with a circle formation surrounded by carts inside the square formation. There are still many gaps left in the circle array, which can be blocked with a door jamb. Now that he saw that the outer phalanx could no longer withstand it, he removed the door-blocking knife and slowly let the people outside retreat in.
At the same time, the artillerymen who had previously used cannons to fire pots of flaming oil also became grenadiers. They lit the small wine bottles filled with flaming oil and stuffed with cloth strips and threw them out. The crowd exploded into balls of flames, setting many tumbling and screaming firemen on fire.
Taking advantage of the chaos of the Jin soldiers, the soldiers of the Song army who had been overwhelmed by the Jin soldiers finally squeezed into the car formation.
At this time, Wanyan Wanli also squeezed to the front line surrounded by a group of soldiers... He just wanted to see what the Song Army's vehicle formation looked like, and what loopholes could he take advantage of? But before he could take a closer look, he suddenly heard someone shouting in Jurchen dialect from the opposite side: "Second Prince! Second Prince!"
Wanyan Wanli was stunned for a moment. He raised his head and looked towards the place where the sound came from, only to see a scene that he would never forget - the cloth on more than ten carts that had been covered with linen cloth was being lifted. What's covered below are beds of crossbows! And all the crossbows seemed to be pointed at Wanyan Yibu himself!
Just as he was about to retreat, those bed crossbows made a sound of metal collision. Ao Libu quickly stepped aside, and even grabbed a Jurchen warrior to use as a human shield. Unfortunately, this warrior is too big to pull him. At this moment, a big arrow like a short spear pierced his chest without any bias... Wanyan Zongwang finally became a string!
