Fenghou

Chapter 617

Dutou Wang Jingyang bowed and said, "I would like to report to Dutong that the brothers of the humble rank found them in a ravine in the north, and we made a noise, but we never saw them come out to break through. We entered the ravine, only to find that they were all kneeling on the ground." Surrendered, weapons and armor piled up nearby."

Chen Qing asked again with a smile: "Did they surrender because you created momentum, or were they going to surrender?"

Wang Jingyang was a little ashamed and said: "To be honest, I feel that they want to surrender in the first place, and it has nothing to do with our momentum. They have nowhere to go."

Chen Qing nodded. He also thought so. Based on his understanding of Jin Bing, no matter how many troops they had, they would fight to the death and would never surrender without a fight. It seemed that there must be something wrong inside Jin Bing.

"Have you interrogated them?" Chen Qing asked again.

Tang Qian hurriedly said: "The humble job has arranged for the subordinates to be interrogated in groups. It is relatively smooth so far, and there is basically no resistance."

"When can you give me a statement?"

"Within an hour at the latest, the humble official must come up with a confession!"

"As soon as possible!"

Tang Qian gave himself some leeway. In fact, half an hour later, he handed over the completed confession to Chen Qing.

All the information Chen Qing wanted to know could be found in the confession. He read it several times, and immediately summoned the main generals to his tent.

"Everyone must have heard about the capture of Jin Bing. Let's look at these confessions again. Jin Bing's morale is low, his fighting spirit is lax, and his war weariness is generally very serious. There are even deserters. Three hundred people are only a small part. Last night Hundreds of people escaped, and more than a thousand people escaped this morning. Although they were all Xiren soldiers, the situation of Jinbing is very pessimistic. I think the time for a decisive battle is ripe. I want to hear from everyone Any ideas?"

Gao Ding raised his hand and said, "Could it be that Xi Ren's desertion was deliberately arranged by Wanyan Yinkeshu to lure us into a decisive battle with him?"

Chen Qing shook his head with a smile, "Other armies may be possible, but the Jurchens will not. The Jurchens regard deserters as a great shame, and if they find that their morale is slightly low, they will find a county town for the soldiers to plunder and vent, so as to reinvigorate the soldiers Morale will never wait until there are deserters, and it is also because Danzhou is desolate, there is only one Yichuan County, which is still an empty city, and Wanyan Yin has nothing to do, so there will be deserters, and deserters will definitely not be fake."

Liu Cui also raised his hand and said, "I read from the confession that they still have two or three days of food. Why don't we wait until they run out of food before attacking?"

Chen Qing said indifferently: "Their food will not be exhausted, and there are tens of thousands of war horses. There is a saying that everything must be reversed. If they are really forced to kill war horses for food, they will have a kind of killing intent with the same hatred. Simple In other words, it is to go all out and fight, to die and survive, the best situation is that the food is not cut off, but the faith is already desperate, which is the current situation."

Liu Qiong slammed his fist on the table, "Dutong, let's fight! We have been waiting for this day for a long time."

"Dutong, let's fight!" Everyone expressed their opinions one after another.

Chen Qing glanced at everyone with sharp eyes, and said slowly: "We need a big battle to defeat the golden soldiers on the battlefield, so that the confidence of the soldiers will be completely erected."

Just after dawn, Chen Qing's army appeared ten miles away from the Jinbing camp. He left [-] troops to guard the camp, and led [-] troops to challenge the main force of the enemy army. They were immediately spotted by the Jinbing cavalry. Gunpowder arrows flew into the sky continuously.

Wanyan Huonu urgently ordered the whole army to assemble, and the [-] gold soldiers were in chaos. Most of the soldiers didn't want to fight, but they had to fight, so they had to find their own troops in the chaos. When the Song army was still five miles away, the Jurchen army was reluctantly After the assembly was completed, Wanyan Huonu led a [-]-strong battalion to fight against the Song army
Not all of the Jurchen army has to fight. It is necessary to keep an army stationed in the formation, not to participate in the battle, to protect the logistics and the coach Wanyan Yin can do nothing.

However, the Jurchen army is not separated by forty miles like the Song army. They are only a few miles away from the Song army. They cannot only keep a few thousand troops. Garrison.

Wanyan Yinkeshu did not expect that Chen Qing would take the initiative to come to challenge, but Chen Qing chose the right time. When morale was at its lowest, when the army was most dispirited, and when the soldiers were most tired of fighting, he already guessed that Chen Qing must have captured Xi Ren as a prisoner of war. Otherwise, it would be impossible to know the situation of our own army so well.

Watching the golden soldiers rushing away, Wanyan Yinkeshu was worried. He was really worried that Wanyan Huonu would calmly command the battle when facing Chen Qing?
If there is no problem with his legs, he must personally command the battle, but he is half paralyzed, God's will!

The big formation set up by Jin Bing also has one master and two wings. Wanyan Huo Nu has [-] Jurchen troops as the main formation, Pucha Asa, the ten thousand husband commander, leads [-] Jurchen troops as the right formation, and Marshal Hu Shida leads [-] Khitan troops. He Xiren's army is on the left.

The two armies fluttered their flags, hunting and flying in the morning glow. The equipment on both sides was almost the same. They were all wearing iron armor. Chen Qing's [-] troops were the most elite among the [-] troops. .

They wore bronze helmets, gold-lacquered iron armor, short horse spears in their hands, round shields on their backs, and swords in their waists and hips. They were majestic, murderous, and their morale was very high. They had been waiting for this moment for a long time.

The equipment of the Jin soldiers is also good. They wear the standard yellow velvet army armor of the Jin Kingdom, holding spears and swords, bows and arrows on the back, and generals generally use maces.

Although the golden soldiers and iron cavalry swept the world, it was only when the morale was high that the Jurchen's wildness could be fully displayed. On the other hand, the army of the Song Dynasty was extremely corrupt, and only [-] Jurchen iron cavalry swept a million The feat of the army.

But once the morale of the Jin soldiers was low and the morale of the army was slackened, the aura of the Jurchen army like a tiger descending the mountain could not be seen. In front of the two armies, their aura was actually overwhelmed by the Song army.

The war between Song and Jin has been going on for more than ten years, and the tenacious and tenacious side of the Han people has gradually been reflected in the continuous struggle. Only then have there been elite armies such as Yue Jiajun, Han Jiajun, and Wu Jiajun, and there has also been a weak army that has grown step by step. The Chen family army, today they fought a decisive battle with tens of thousands of Jurchen cavalry, but they did not have any fear, but were full of passion and anticipation.

Although the strategy can be despised, the tactics must be taken seriously. For today's battle, Chen Qing thought hard and considered several plans. Finally, he decided to adopt Tian Ji's horse racing strategy. He would use his horse to fight against the enemy on horseback, and his horse to fight against the enemy's army. The middle horse, use the middle horse to dismount the enemy.

It's easy to say, but it's actually just on paper. Tian Ji's horse racing is not that simple, you can use it if you want, and the enemy will listen to your arrangements?Why should the enemy take up their horses and confront your dismounted ones?So this kind of thinking is wishful thinking.

The reason why Tian Ji was able to win must be that he spent money to buy off the confidants of King Qi Wei, and knew the order of the opponent's horse racing arrangement in advance.

The reason why Chen Qing chose this strategy was because he knew that the opponent's general was his old enemy Wanyan Huonu. In order to avenge the murder of her father, Wanyan Huonu would definitely concentrate superior forces to deal with him. You can choose to be dismounted.

Therefore, his main formation consisted of only [-] elite troops, consisting of [-] directly subordinate Huben Guards and [-] scout troops.

Mounting the horse is Gaoding’s left wing, which is composed of [-] cavalry, to fight against the [-] Jurchen army led by Pucha Asa. This is the mounting horse against the middle horse.

The middle horse is the [-] cavalry led by Liu Cui, facing the weakest enemy's [-] Donghu army, that is, the opponent's dismount.

Liu Cui's [-] troops were all equipped with god arm crossbows and [-] bed crossbows. Chen Qing concluded that Wanyan Huonu would let the Khitan and Xi people take charge of the first round of attack.

A gust of wind suddenly blows up, dust is flying on the Loess Plateau, and the military flag is looming in the diffuse dust. A war between Song and Jin is about to begin.
