The sun rises from the east, filling the sky with glow, like a sea of blood. There is not a breath of wind between heaven and earth, and the flags are a little listless.
Wang Xiaolie was riding on his horse, looking at the golden formation opposite with a serious expression. Before the two armies met, he had many means. When the two formations intersect, all means are useless. There is no strategy today, just a head-on fight.
Ba Lisu looked at Song Jun opposite and didn't speak for a long time. It was this army that caused a lot of trouble for itself. They held Jingmen City tightly and blocked the road to the north. To get home, you have to defeat them.
Wanyan Yuying slowly came to Ba Lisu's side, crossed his hands and said: "Your Majesty, the sun has risen. Please allow me to take five hundred men to walk around in front of the Song Army's formation. Even if they are full of clever tricks in front of them, if we fight hand to hand today, we will always have to do something. Life and death are decided before the formation!"
Pull away and take a deep breath. Said: "I see that the Song army's formation in front is very strict, and it is not comparable to the ordinary Song army. You lead five hundred cavalry and charge into the formation first. Remember, when you arrive in front of the Song army's formation, release arrows and walk away diagonally. Don't rush into the formation. Here. Behind you is my Chinese army. If we don't break through the Song army's formation today, we will never withdraw our troops! When the Chinese army rushes into the formation, you sweep across the Song army's formation. If there is no chance, return to the formation first."
Wanyan crossed his hands and said yes. Instead of spears, they brought more bows and arrows, and led five hundred cavalry to rush out first.
The horse's hooves hit the ground, briskly at first, then gradually became denser. When they were nearly a hundred steps away from the Song army, it was already like a violent storm.
Chen Yuyi only felt that his mouth was dry. Looking at the Jin army getting closer and closer, he whispered: "Defense, do you want to send our army to fight? There are only a few hundred Jin troops coming. If we send more people, we may have the upper hand."
Wang Xiaolie shook his head and said nothing.
Wei Yang held the spear tightly and stared at the rushing Jin soldiers with his eyes. Unknowingly, I exerted too much force, and all the veins appeared on my hands.
When the Jin army was seventy or eighty steps away from the Song army, a drum sound suddenly sounded from the Song army's formation. The long axes in the hands of the soldiers in the front row were suddenly raised, as if a wall had suddenly been erected. With another drum sound, a strong wind blew through the air, and arrows like a rainstorm were fired at the Jin army.
Wan Ying Yuying was wearing heavy armor and ignored the arrows, just rushing forward with his men. Someone fell down in the rain of arrows, and was soon trampled to pieces by those who rushed up from behind. Jin Jun took out his bow and arrow without looking.
After rushing twenty or thirty steps in front of the Song army's formation, Wanyan Yuying raised the bow in his hand and fired at the Song army. Following this arrow, the Jin Army's arrows fell like raindrops on the Song Army's position.
Hearing the crackling sound, Wei Yang's heart trembled, and then he felt relieved. The Jin army's bows were weak, and the Song army wore iron armor. This round of arrow rain did not cause any damage to the Song army. There was just a slight commotion in the camp, and then it calmed down.
Arriving in front of the Song Army's formation, Wanyan Yuying led his horse to the side, almost grazing the spear tip of the Song Army's ax wall. The cavalry behind him followed Wanyan Yuying and passed by the Song army's formation. The bows and arrows in his hands were fired continuously, looking for the Song army's weaknesses.
At this moment, I heard loud noises from the drums in the Jin Army formation. The large group of Jin troops lined up dozens of steps in front, pressing towards the Song army like dark clouds.
Seeing the Jin Army brigade attacking, Wang Xiaolie breathed out involuntarily. After all his efforts, in the end, he still had to face the Jin army's attack head-on. Only when you can withstand the frontal attack of the Jin army can your army be considered truly mature.
Wanyan Yuying passed by the Song army's formation, but did not find an opportunity to attack, so he led his horse back to the formation.
The Jin army marched steadily, formed a strict formation, and slowly advanced to about seventy or eighty steps in front of the Song army. There was a sound of drums, and arrows fell like locusts. The Jin army was all heavily armored and connected from front to back, so even if they were hit by arrows, they would not do much damage. Only some unlucky soldiers were shot in the vital points by the Song army's powerful crossbows. It's just that the body was clamped and couldn't fall down, so it was dragged forward.
There are not many crossbowmen firing arrows on the battlefield. Three or five arrows in one round, ten or eight rounds is the limit. The bow shoots faster and the crossbow shoots more arrows. The first group of Jin troops met the Song troops at hand-to-hand combat, and their bows and arrows stopped.
The Song army held the long ax tightly in front of them, while the Jin army advanced with the tip of the long ax drawn. In just a moment, a row of Song troops were knocked down in front of the formation.
Wei Yang let out a sigh of relief. Jin Jun looked frightening in his aura, but he was still made of flesh and blood, and there was nothing he could do against the long axe. The two middlemost units in the Song Army's formation were the armored soldiers, who were wearing iron armor and were tall and powerful. As long as the Song army is not in chaos, the Jin army cannot break up the formation.
Look at the sun in the sky, it has already risen into the sky. I don't know how long they were fighting in front of the formation, and the shouts of killing were loud. The Jin army seemed to have no end, and the wave was not calmed down, and the rear troops came up again. Like waves in the sea, one wave after another comes up.
Wei Yang led his own soldiers to maintain their formation tightly. He could see that the soldiers at the front were tired. It's just that the Jin army continued to attack and could not withdraw to rest. The drums in the Jin army's formation kept beating, and they didn't know when the offensive would stop.
At this moment, one of Wang Xiaolie's soldiers quickly walked up to Wei Yang. Crosshand said: "Defense reminds the control, the front row soldiers rotate! The Jin army's offensive will not stop, don't tire the soldiers and lose their strength!"
Wei Yang said angrily: "The Jin army's offensive is non-stop. How can we take turns in the battle formation?!"
The soldier said: "Commander, think of a way! If the Jin army breaks through the military formation, I will take it from you!"
Wei Yang shook his head to keep himself awake. Said: "I know!"
Wei Yang's head turned rapidly as he watched the soldiers leave. After thinking for a while, he said: "Order Deputy Commander Cao Yu to come over!"
Not long after, Cao Yu arrived, crossing his hands and singing a promise.
Wei Yang pointed to the front and said: "I don't know how long the Jin army has been attacking. The soldiers in the front are exhausted. You go and lead five hundred elite soldiers to attack the flanks of the Jin army and force the Jin army to retreat temporarily! The Jin army has retreated, and the rotation Soldiers who have been fighting for a long time in front!"
Cao Yu sang a promise. After arriving at the rear of the military formation, five hundred people were mobilized, formed a formation, and attacked. For a moment, the ax was as long as a wall, and the momentum was amazing.
The battle formations were particularly dense where the troops were in close contact. There will be gaps at every interval, which is convenient for troop mobilization. The gap between the two military formations is large, but the attack will be attacked from both sides.
Whether it is the Song Army or the Jin Army, there are mobile troops in the rear, keeping an eye on each other to see if there are any flaws. Once a flaw is revealed, the cavalry pounces on them like wolves, trying their best to break up the opponent's formation.
Cao Yu rushed out of the formation, and the Jin army immediately changed their formation to meet him. Although it could not disrupt the Jin army's formation, it temporarily stopped the Jin army's offensive.
Wei Yang hurriedly ordered the soldiers in front to retreat temporarily while the soldiers in the rear attacked. This temporary change of formation caused chaos, but fortunately there were enough officers in Wang Xiao's hunting army and it quickly stabilized.
Looking at the front of the formation where the soldiers had withdrawn, Wei Yang took a breath of cold air. In just a moment, there were already mountains of corpses in front of the formation. The Jin army was stepping on the corpses of its own people to attack, and the Song army was also stepping on the corpses of its own people to defend. It was hard to tell when the two sides were fighting together. As soon as the front army withdrew, they discovered that they had lost about one-fifth of their soldiers.
After replacing the soldiers in the front, Wei Yang ordered Cao Yu to lead the troops back to the formation. The Jin army refused to let go. Chasing Cao Yu closely, he rushed straight into the Song army's formation.
Cao Yu had no choice but to retreat with five hundred soldiers to Xue Cheng's army formation nearby. Only when Xue Cheng sent troops to protect them did they retreat safely.
After safely retreating into the formation, Cao Yu let out a sigh of relief. When he arrived at Wei Yang's side, he said: "Looking at the attacking Jin army, one group after another is like an endless wave. I see that their attack is unfavorable, so they do not withdraw from the formation. Instead, they retreat slightly to regroup, and then attack again. Like this, if soldiers are constantly sent out in the Jin army's formation, there will be more and more Jin soldiers in front of us, how can we do it!"
Wei Yang gritted his teeth and said: "I don't believe that the golden soldiers are made of iron! After a few battles, won't they be exhausted!"
Cao Yu shook his head: "The Jin people cannot make assumptions based on common sense! It is often said that the Jin people can attack from morning to night. If this is true, we will prepare early in the morning. The entire army must rotate in time to maintain physical strength."
Wei Yang said: "How can it be so easy to rotate in front of the formation! Deputy Commander, this matter is only for us to take turns to attack. Let's do this, half an hour later, I will lead 500 soldiers to attack again, and you will take charge of the overall situation in the formation and rotate back the soldiers in front. !”
Cao Yu nodded. The Jin army can only do this if they do not retreat.
Before we knew it, the sun was overhead and the weather was getting hotter.
Seeing that the Jin army was still fighting to the death, Chen Yuyi opened his mouth in surprise: "It has been two or three hours since early morning, and the Jin army still has no sign of retreating. And judging from the soldiers they attacked, there is no rotation. How is this possible? ?”
Wang Xiaolie said: "Now that the Jin Army is right in front of us, what is impossible! Councilor, there were many legends about the Jin Army's combat power in the past, and everyone can tell a lot. Now that we are in front of us, why do we feel strange?"
Both sides fight for their lives, often using all their strength and becoming exhausted in a very short time. In the past, whether it was the Song Army, the Liao Army, or the Xia Army in the northwest, the winner could be determined in a short time. Not only were the soldiers not stoic enough, but they were also exhausted very quickly. The Jin Army broke this rule and could attack from morning to night without stopping.
In fact, the Jin Army's attack was not violent and their movements were not large. Most of them are soldiers wearing heavy armor, raising their defense to the highest level, and then charging forward regardless of anything. Coupled with the strict military law, you are not allowed to look back, you can only move forward, and you are not allowed to retreat. In this kind of positional attack, as long as the defender's morale does not collapse, most of them will be beaten to death by the Jin army.
Seeing Wang Xiaolie's calm expression, Chen Yuyi said: "There are mountains of corpses in front of the formation. I don't know how many people have died. The defensive look is as usual, which is very human!"
Wang Xiaolie said calmly: "How can there be no death in a war? Let alone a fight with the Jin Army. Counselor, what we saw today is the most capable offensive army in the world at this time. If our army can defend it, it can be said that this Years of training and success!"
After finishing speaking, he said to Cui Qing next to him: "Go and inform the camp and ask them to prepare pork and wine. The soldiers who fought hand-to-hand with the Jin Army today will eat big meat buns and a bowl of wine each! Although the Jin Army continues to attack, Our army shows no signs of defeat, so we will treat it as if nothing happens today."
