This battle is still a relatively traditional offensive and defensive battle.
Although the Jin people are well prepared and have the advantage of the defensive side, their numbers are relatively small.
The rebels, under the command of Su Yonglin, formed a stable military formation and slowly approached them following the sound of drums.
When the military formation advanced within the shooting range of the Jin people, the Jin people immediately fired arrows in an attempt to block the advance of the rebels, but this had little effect on the formation of infantry.
And their crossbowmen are also facing targeted attacks from the rebel crossbowmen.
After all, the rebels were still outnumbered and had the advantage. As soon as the battle started, three golden men on the arrow tower were shot down one after another, and the other defending golden men were also continuously shot by the arrows of the rebels.
Su Yonglin responded to the command calmly and instructed the troops to advance slowly according to the sound of drums without panic.
Occasionally, a soldier who was hit would not cause panic in the entire army, and someone would immediately take over his position. Su Yonglin continued to maintain the order for the army to move forward, allowing them to keep approaching the Jinren village.
Before advancing to Juma, a commando team of the rebel army left the military formation. Under the protection of shields, based on the content of previous training, they pulled out Juma in a slightly awkward but unhurried manner and opened the way for the follow-up troops.
The Jin people in the village lacked more effective means of long-range attack.
This unexpected and sharp attack by the rebels disrupted their defensive rhythm. They began to panic, and they fired more concentratedly and rapidly to dismantle the commando team that resisted the horse. This situation made Su Yonglin happy.
This shows that the Jin people are confused.
The resisting horses were dismantled, and the rebels saw that the attack was effective, so they gained a little momentum and a little sense, and continued to approach the village.
Of course, the Jin people's defense will not succeed. Facing the rebels who are not just fighting randomly but are organized and have the upper hand, they have nothing to do, and continuous shooting cannot bring effective obstacles.
Finally, the village was destroyed by the rebels, the gap in the main gate was opened, and the rebels rushed into the village.
But the battle didn't end there.
After the rebels rushed in, they were surprised to find that the Jin people in the village had not given up yet. They made a final resistance and did not intend to surrender.
They used the buildings in the village to continue their resistance, blocking the rebels, and causing some trouble to the rebels.
The battle suddenly turned into a small-scale street battle.
In fact, the same is true for most of the Jinren villages that were conquered before. In addition to the high platforms on the outside for security purposes, there are also two- and three-story buildings inside. With a little use, they can be used for defense and establish a second line of defense.
This means that in addition to the outer line of defense, there is also an internal line of defense, a total of two lines of defense.
The Jin people's villages are not only habitable, but also have defensive effects. After the outer defenses are broken through, there are still towers and houses inside that can be used for defense, playing the role of a layer of defense and a layer of blockade.
In this case, as long as there are enough troops, the enemy's attack can be delayed.
It is estimated that when this village was built, the Jin people in this village considered the possibility of rebellion, so they made preparations in advance.
In the past few times, it can only be said that the rebels were lucky and succeeded in sneak attacks. The Jin people inside had no fighting will and did not set up a second line of defense. They collapsed after being killed.
The designer of this village obviously had some foresight. He was prepared and seemed to have a fighting spirit, which immediately caused trouble for the rebels.
The difference between humans is really greater than the difference between humans and pigs...
Su Yonglin sighed.
But now is not the time to sigh.
After breaking through the outer defenses, a small number of remaining Jin people retreated into the village and used tower buildings and crossbows to attack the rebels from a high position and conduct a second stage of defense. This situation once made the rebels who were charging based on inertia very passive.
The experience of the previous battles was that the Jin people collapsed quickly, did not dare to resist, and surrendered immediately.
With such combat experience, the rebels felt they had won after breaking the defense this time. The military formation immediately became unstable. Everyone wanted to rush forward to end the battle, so the military formation dispersed and the soldiers rushed into a ball while shouting. , rushing into the village.
I've been lucky the past few times, but this time it's different.
This group of Jin people had a strong will to resist. They did not give up. They occupied favorable terrain and kept firing arrows. From time to time, rebel soldiers were hit by arrows.
Some were injured and some died on the spot.
The rebels did not continue to maintain their military formation in accordance with Su Yonglin's military orders. As a result, the offensive momentum was delayed and the formation was in disarray.
Su Yonglin was also surprised for a moment. He did not expect that such an attack that followed the trend could be delayed. He secretly screamed that it was not good and immediately ordered the war drums to be beaten and conveyed his order through the drums.
The formation cannot be messed up, form a formation immediately!
The many days of training had some effect. The officers heard the sound of drums and realized that this was Su Yonglin's order for them to form a formation immediately.
When the soldiers heard the drum beat, they reflexively realized that it was a military order.
So the officers shouted to their subordinates at the top of their lungs, and the soldiers gathered together as quickly as possible and resumed their formation on the spot.
A tight military formation can give soldiers a sense of security, and the brief panic disappears after the military formation is formed.
A group of battlefield recruits quickly regained their composure, stabilized their position, and did not retreat, waiting for further orders from the general.
The further order was, of course, to maintain the military formation and attack, and kill the Jin people who occupied the buildings to block the rebels one by one.
After the military formation was completed, with the protection of the sword players, the Jin people's bows and arrows could no longer kill the rebels. The rebels relied on their numerical advantage to regain the initiative on the battlefield.
The Jin people were still small in number, and after being broken through the first defense, the number was even smaller. They had no preparations for the second defense, but did not have enough troops to deploy the defense, so they could not really stop the rebels.
They tried their best to attack the rebels with arrows, but the rebels retaliated and pressed forward step by step.
Soon, the Jin people who insisted on defending were shot and killed, and the defense line could not be maintained. The rebels quickly broke through their defenses, and the tight military formation quickly advanced inward.
After the second line of defense was breached, the remaining Jin people could no longer stop the in-depth attacks of the rebels.
They fled in panic and were killed on the road by the advancing rebel army.
They chopped with knives and stabbed with spears. The remaining dozens of Jin men shed blood on the spot and all died in battle.
It seemed that all the strong men who could fight had been killed, and there was a vast plain in front of them.
Despite this, some old and weak people in the village organized a final counterattack.
When they were squeezed by the rebels to the door of the last big house, more than thirty gray-haired old and weak men brandished swords and shields and formed a formation and rushed up to fight the rebels, shouting incomprehensible slogans and feeling as if they were ready to die.
Su Yonglin personally beat the war drum to boost morale, and commanded the rebel army to face them head-on with the strength of their numbers.
Although the results of more than twenty days of training are not good, as long as the military formation is intact and the coach persists, it will not be dispersed by more than thirty old and weak soldiers.
The Jin people could no longer rely on seventeen cavalry to defeat two thousand enemy troops.
That myth will never appear again.
Carrying the spirit of breaking through two defenses in a row before, even though it was the first time they faced each other in a military formation, the rebels were not afraid of these gray-haired golden men.
The knife players in the front row shouted and collided with these old and weak, and the spearmen in the back shouted and grabbed and stabbed.
There were screams and blood splattered.
After just a few breaths of chaotic fighting, more than thirty old and weak people were all killed. They failed to cause any harm to even a single rebel soldier.
But even when they were killed until only one person was left, this group of Jin people did not drop their weapons and surrender, and persisted until the last person died.
