I am Da Song

Chapter 189 The Situation Quietly Reversed
In the afternoon, the main force of the Jin army arrived near the Wudi River.

At this time, the Song army had completed the accumulation of millet and repaired troops, and built fences and fortifications.

The military camp has been preliminarily constructed, and three trenches have been excavated in front of the camp.In addition to the trenches, there are antlers and horses firmly fixed in the ground.

When a powerful enemy invaded, Orihiko stood in front of the barracks and encouraged the soldiers: "The imperial court has been raising the army for 200 years. Now it is time to use the army, and it is right to kill the enemy for the country. Although our army defeats the enemy, if we retreat, everyone There is a huge disparity, if the enemy takes advantage of the attack, all previous efforts will be wasted, and the country will be slandered. Today's plan is to advance but never retreat, and fight to the death."

"Serve the country loyally and swear to kill the gold thief!"

"Serve the country loyally and swear to kill the gold thief!"

The three armies shouted and roared, and the sound shook the field.At this moment, the Song Dynasty seems to have returned to the atmosphere of the founding of the country. "The country's military strength is strong, and it can drive thousands of miles away if you talk about raising a partial division." Such arrogance is unprecedented in the founding of the Han and Tang Dynasties!

Jin Wushu, the Jurchen commander, rode his horse to the front of the whole army, looked at the densely packed swords, guns and halberds on the opposite side, burning with anger, and shouted at the whole army: "Xiang Zhe, when we founded the dynasty. The Lord of Liao personally led the main force 70 Thousands of attacks will come, and our Jurchen soldiers will also fight tenaciously and wipe out their army. Now a group of weak people in the Southern Dynasty gathered together to take advantage of the situation. Today we will fight to chop them all up!"

Although the Jin army was defeated in July, Jin Wushu still firmly believed that the fighting power of the Jin army could crush the Song army.

Thinking that last month's defeat was entirely due to his impatience.

It's not just him who thinks so.The top leaders of the Song and Jin armies all believed that it was a mistake in the command of the generals of the Jin army.

But in fact, the Jin army seriously overestimated its combat effectiveness.

Song Jun also seriously underestimated his own strength.

Neither side realized that when the Song army refused to flee, the Jin army could no longer gain an advantage in the majestic formation.

This point was noticed by the Jin Army in the fourth year of Jianyan (1130). There will be heavy casualties.

So even if the opponent is someone like Zhao Gou, the Southern Song Dynasty is still in chaos, and the Jin army will not be able to gain a strategic advantage.He was driven back to Hebei from Jiangxi and Zhejiang.

After going around for four years, the territory of the Jin Dynasty hardly expanded, but was shrinking rapidly.

So much so that the arrogant soldiers of the Jin Dynasty, who had just founded the country, had to admit that they could not defeat the Song Dynasty, which they regarded as weak as a woman, by relying on military strength alone.

He was forced to propose the national policy of "attacking war with peace and discussion, and using rebellion to lure the party".

That is to say, when he met Zhao Gou, the master, he blindly negotiated peace, and repeatedly gave the Jin Dynasty the strategic advantages played by the soldiers.

If the Jin army wins, it will expand its advantage.If you lose, you will negotiate and suspend.After regrouping the superior forces, we will fight again with more troops.

But even so, the Kingdom of Jin suffered numerous defeats.Victory mainly depends on the Song army's reluctance to save, or internal rebellion.

The Southern Song Dynasty has been persuaded to the end. In the entire Central Plains Dynasty since 5000 years ago, few emperors were softer than Zhao Gou.Even the Golden Army can't win!
Jin Wushu's desire to defeat the current Song army once again is completely a dream.

In particular, the Jurchens specialize in cavalry, and the infantry are all other troops, and their morale is not high.

If they can fight head-on, they should have opened up the situation in the last battle.It would not be possible for the iron cavalry to directly attack the Song army's majestic formation with various fortifications and defensive facilities.

So when the Jin army launched an offensive, not only Orihiko was aware of the weakness of the Jin army, but even ordinary generals of the Song army were keenly aware of the strange situation at the moment.

"Lieutenant, the behavior of the Jin army is too weird. It seems that the offensive is not violent at all." A commander said hesitantly

"You fucking just say it, the Jin army is as weak as a little girl!" Another commander with a violent temper said directly: "After fighting for more than an hour, the ten commanders of the former army, they even the first, second, The twenty square formations arranged by the third and fourth commanders failed to break through! The remaining six commanders are all watching the show behind!"

Orihiko nodded, and said: "The Jurchens probably didn't send out their descendants, and they are all vassals of other clans now. They are used to move the fortifications and consume arrows. The decisive battle in Tokyo City, the combat effectiveness of the [-] strong army is obvious to all. The right army was almost defeated, and it was only thanks to Yue Taiwei's incomparable generals that they won the decisive victory."

"But they are too slow. They haven't even moved the first antlers yet. If they want to fight ahead and reach the bottom of the camp, I'm afraid it may not be possible until tomorrow. They are not afraid that I will arrive towards the reinforcements." ?”

"Taiwei! Don't let the six commanders watch the show. I ask the leaders to fight, and I will defeat the current tired army."

Orihiko looked at the battlefield ahead.

The generals of the Song army hid in the ditch, relying on arrow shields, deer villages, etc., and continuously threw arrow rain at the Jin army.The infantry of the Jin Army suffered heavy casualties in the face of the Song Army's arrow rain.

However, what makes the Jin army better than the previous Liao and Song Dynasties is that "the military and government are still strict, and the soldiers flee and disperse, and there are often those who are punished by the whole team."

Therefore, although the Jin army suffered heavy casualties, with the Jurchens in the rear, the frontline infantry did not collapse and flee like the Song and Jin countries did.

Orihiko thought for a moment, and said: "For the time being, there is no rush to attack. Our army should be slow rather than hasty. Every moment of delay, our army's advantage will increase by one point. Continue to consume the energy of the Jurchens and see when they can wipe out all the enemies. antlers."

On the opposite side of him, Jin Wushu, the commander of the Jin army, was the complete opposite. Even if the air was breezy in August and autumn, he couldn't dispel the anxiety and anger in his heart.

why!Why is it that the second brother is invincible in the same southern expedition!The enemy army will be defeated at the first touch.Since I took over the army, the military discipline and tactics of the army have not changed, but they don't even have an advantage in frontal battles!
An angry Jin Wushu pointed at a Jurchen general and asked, "Tell me, why haven't you been able to defeat those southern barbarians?"

"This..." The general who was named was considered a veteran in the battlefield, hesitating for a moment and said: "Probably because this group of Nanban refused to break up."

"That's all?"

"According to past experience, when our army engages in battle with the enemy, some of the enemy's army will inevitably retreat, or collapse at the first touch. As long as the iron cavalry rides on it, the enemy's phalanx will definitely collapse, and the entire army will collapse."

Jin Wushu waved his hand angrily, and drove him aside.Talking about it means not saying anything.

The failure to win is of course because the Song army has not collapsed so far.Is it still necessary to fight when it collapses?

But facing Song Jun's strict defense, Jin Wushu really had a headache.

How on earth can Daikin break open this tortoise shell?
Is it really necessary to dismount the Jurchen cavalry?

Until night fell, this immature Crown Prince of the Jin Kingdom still had no idea where the crux of the current problem lies.

However, the situation on the front line gradually began to turn in the long and fierce battle.
