In the Southern Song Dynasty, I competed with Mongolia for the world
Chapter 316: So shameless, Song Jun will rebel again?
Chapter 316: So shameless, Song Jun will rebel again?
Li Liang, Zheng Youcai, Zhou Yong, and He Daniu were sitting around their carriages bored.
They had just followed Song Jun to the scene, and it was already around ten o'clock in the evening.
Everyone was tired and tired. Zheng Youcai was sitting on the wheel and started snoring before taking a few breaths.
Zhou Yong and He Daniu looked at Zheng Youcai. They pulled out the quilts they brought from home from the carriage, wrapped them around themselves, and lay down behind the carriage, preparing to sleep.
Only Li Liang didn't want to sleep. He lay on the carriage and looked up at the starry sky. The moonlight was good today, and he could still see a little while walking.
But after following Song Jun for only a few days, I already felt that it was hard to make money.
I just came out to make money, but I found it very hard to follow Song Jun. I had to walk every day, and Song Jun also walked at night.
Last night, they didn't arrive at the Duoshui River until three o'clock in the evening. Many people arrived and fell asleep. Some people were freezing because of it. Fortunately, the people of Song Dynasty were also generous enough. They asked for more money this morning to pay for yesterday's meal. For marching at night, one hundred coins will be charged per person.
These few people can be considered young and strong soldiers of the Jin Dynasty, but when they were stationed in Caizhou, they had never marched at night. This time they followed the Song army and marched very well.
The Song army had infantry and cavalry guarding the road on both sides, and there were people leading the way. As long as they followed the large army and did not leave the group, they would basically not go wrong.
Today they didn't arrive until ten o'clock in the evening. On the way there, they encountered golden soldiers who had fallen behind from time to time.
Only then did they know that 10,000+ Jin soldiers were also marching at night, but the Jin soldiers seemed to be poorly organized and moved in a mess. The Jin soldiers' infantry battalion approached half an hour before Li Liang and the others, but was stopped halfway by Li Liang and the others. Caught up.
You must know that Li Liang and others can be regarded as the Song Army's baggage camp, all with carriages and baggage.
The Jin soldiers' 10,000+ infantry camp dragged out for several miles. After the front ones arrived, the last ones walked for more than an hour before arriving.
As a Jinbing soldier, Li Liang felt that the Jinbing Infantry Battalion was useless.
He just said a few words to Zhou Yong. Regarding the performance of the Jinbing infantry camp tonight, the Jinbing infantry camp is not suitable for night marches. If they are attacked halfway, they will be destroyed.
Zhou Yong said don't be afraid, you won't be attacked. I heard that tens of thousands of sentries and cavalry are guarding the Mongolian army on the outside.
The Song and Jin allied forces sent out a large number of sentry cavalry, and Yu Jie and other cavalry were in front, so there was little chance of them being raided in the rear.
"Centurion, Centurion." Li Liang didn't know that Zhou Yong was going to sleep, so he called him from above.
"What are you doing? It's so late and you're still not sleeping." Zhou Yong muttered.
"How many days do you think we have to follow the Song Army? Can our army and the Song Army join forces to defeat the tow mine?"
"How do I know?" Zhou Yong said: "We have hundreds of thousands of troops, and we will definitely not be able to defeat them with towed mines."
"I don't know how long it will take to follow?"
"The longer you follow, the better. The Song people will give you money anyway."
Li Liang was about to say something else, when suddenly a torch approached not far away.
He quickly sat up, and a bunch of torches came in front of him, all of them were Song troops.
"Get up, get up, don't sleep yet." Song Jun arrived at the scene.
The husbandmen at the scene were called out one after another.
"We are divided into two groups. One group goes northwest to the end of the Shuishui River. There is a jungle on the riverside. We all go there to help."
"The other part follows and goes east."
Some people in the crowd couldn't help but asked: "We have to work again at night?" Are you going to let people sleep?
Li Liang glanced at this man and thought, it's pretty good that Song people didn't hold a knife to talk to you, but they still dare to give opinions?
In the Jin barracks, the Jin soldiers come directly with their swords and ask you to work.
The Song man wasn't angry either, and just said: "Every hour we work today, each person will receive fifty cents."
"Fifty cents an hour?"
"Fifty Wen per hour. Han people do not deceive Han people." The Song man said again, repeating this sentence.
Hahaha, there was laughter all around. What everyone has heard the most recently is the phrase "Han people don't lie to Han people."
At first, everyone didn’t take it seriously. After hearing more, many people may be subconsciously thinking, am I a Han and not a Jin?
After laughing, everyone had no choice but to divide into two groups and follow the Song people.
Li Liang and Zhou Yong went to the northwest, while Zheng Youcai and He Daniu were called to the other side.
Li Liang and Zhou Yong's place was a bit far away from here, and it took them two quarters of an hour to get there.
This is the end of the Shui Shui River. There is a jungle by the river. When they arrived, they found that many Song troops were already there, lighting fires or torches everywhere. The Song people stuck the torches on the ground and watched them in rows. It's bright.
Song Jun had already sawed many trees in advance, and Li Liang knew after a few glances that they were building a horse.
Someone handed them a small saw and a bunch of rope and told them how to build it. It was very simple.
This saw was something they had never seen before. It was only half the length of an arm, about several fingers wide, and the teeth were large and obvious.
The handle is like a clenched fist, and the shape is relatively novel.
There are piles of trees on the ground that were sawn down by the Song army infantry who came first. The trees are not thick, only about the thickness of an arm.
Li Liang and the others used three long bars as horizontal bars, one at the top and two at the bottom, and tied three short bars on the left and right. This created a simple horse-rejection bar.
The Song Army required that the horse be about two meters long and 1.5 meters high. The shape was very simple, with three long and six short, tied together with nine wooden sticks. The finished product looked like a triangle from the side without any additions in the middle.
Li Liang and others have also done horse-rejection, and they feel that this is the easiest horse-rejection they have ever seen.
But the efficiency was really fast, because before they came, Song Jun had already sawed a lot of wood on site.
They work in pairs, cut into small pieces, and then tie them up. They can build one in a few minutes.
After each one was built, a Song army came over and pulled the hemp rope to see if they were tied tightly. Then they ordered two civilians to carry it away directly and line it up to the side.
A strong peasant could even carry one of them alone.
They worked for about an hour until about twelve o'clock in the evening. Li Liang and Zhou Yong worked together to create a total of eighteen films.
When Li Liang handed in the saw, he looked up and looked around. Under the light of the torch, there were people everywhere. It was estimated that there must be thousands of people at the scene.
A large clearing was cut out of the jungle ahead.
Later they learned that the Song Army had sent people to saw a large amount of wood overnight near another station (Laushi Dasi Forest Park) yesterday.
After only two nights of collection, the Song Army built a total of two thousand simple horse-fighting horses.
After building the Juma, Song Jun asked them to go to the back and have other tasks.
When Li Liang and Zhou Yong were leaving, they saw a large number of Song troops wearing armor and armed with weapons. Then many Song troops started to move forward with torches in one hand and horses in the other.
"We are going to attack the Mongolian army at night." Li Liang whispered to Zhou Yong quietly.
Zhou Yong's mouth was crooked: "Light all the torches and attack at night. The Mongolian army can see them from a long way away."
Li Liang thought for a moment: "Then the Mongolian army may not dare to come out, it will still be a night attack."
Zhou Yong was stunned for a moment, as if this was the truth.
Even if the Song and Jin armies passed by with torches, the Mongolian army might not leave the camp when they saw it. They might be waiting in the camp.
While the two were talking, the horse built on the spot was carried forward by Song Jun and two of them.
When the two of them walked to the back, they saw more Song troops walking forward. There were Song troops on the side urging them to retreat quickly and go to the east. Every few people gave them a torch to light the way.
They, the civilians, finally made it to the east and saw a large number of artillery at the scene.
"Come on, come on, help push the cannon."
This was the first time that the Song Army asked them to push artillery. Li Liang and Zhou Yong were a little excited, and finally saw the Song Army's artillery at close range.
The civilian husbands were divided into groups of seven, one person was assigned to light the torch, two people were assigned to shovels, and the other four were responsible for pushing the cannon.
The Song Army asked to push forward slowly. When they saw that the road was uneven, they used shovels to deal with it. There were two Song Army soldiers following each cannon. The Song Army soldiers were pulling separate carriages. Later Li Liang found out that the carriages contained Gunpowder and cannonballs.
Li Liang and Zhou Yong were unlucky this time because they were assigned a heavy cannon.
This cannon is quite heavy. There is a Song army with two horses pulling it in front. Four of them are pushing behind. Six people and two horses come together. Only then can the cannon keep up with the pace of the walking battalion. From time to time, there are people holding shovels on the side. Will also come to help.
I don’t know how long I pushed, but around 01:30 in the evening, suddenly there was a firelight flying in the sky not far away, and then there was a faint cry of killing.
This is the old routine of the Mongolian army. They sent people to attack the Jinbing camp at around one o'clock in the evening. Tonight it was half an hour later than last night.
The Mongolian army probably knew that the Song army had divine arm bows, so they only harassed Wanyan Heda's camp.
There was another round of scolding from Wanyan Heda's side, but he also did not dare to send troops out.
There was silence on the Song Army side, but Li Liang and the others were still pushing the cannon forward. Li Liang suddenly felt that the cannon was not being pushed in the direction of the Mongolian army, but how could it look like it was being pushed in the direction of the Jin soldiers?
After the Mongolian army retreats, according to the Mongolian army's rules, about half to an hour later, the second wave will come, and sometimes the third wave will come, mainly to harass the enemy.
This time they pushed and pulled the cannon for almost half an hour. Because it was night, Li Liang and Zhou Yong didn't know where they were. Anyway, after they stopped, they were surrounded by people, carriages, and cannons.
At this time, all the civilians were called to the back. Song Jun collected their shovels, and then Song Jun brought new things and showed them.
I saw Song Jun in a group of three, one holding a sledgehammer they had never seen before, one holding a large iron nail, and the other holding a hemp rope.
A Song Jun picked up an arm-long (about [-] centimeters long) iron nail about the thickness of a chopstick with both hands and placed it on the ground.
"Dang, Dang, Dang." Another Song soldier picked up a big hammer and hammered it a few times before driving the iron nails into the ground, which were about [-] centimeters long.
Then start nailing one piece every ten meters or so. The person in front will nail it, and someone from behind will bring hemp rope and tie it at both ends.
"Mixing Masuo?" Li Liang and Zhou Yong were stunned. Song Jun was so efficient.
There are three people in a row, from left to right, the person in front is driving nails, and the person behind is tying them with hemp rope.
On average, there is one nail per ten meters, and three or four people can do the job.
In the blink of an eye, five or six lines of mixed horse ropes were nailed to the scene.
The horse rope kept going to the right, and they didn't know how long it was nailed, but Li Liang and Zhou Yong were sure that the Mongolian army would not come out, and the Song army could keep nailing it here until dawn.
"Did you see? You work in groups of three. We have people to help get supplies. The hemp ropes and nails are all on the horses behind."
Each group of them is also assigned a Song Army, who is mainly responsible for getting supplies and teaching them to work.
Then the civilians at the scene suddenly dispersed, and everyone dispersed in all directions.
Li Liang, Zhou Yong and another civilian husband were taken away by a Song army.
Song Jun held a torch in one hand and led a horse with the other. There were bags on the left and right sides of the horse's back containing nails and hemp ropes. The three of them followed Song Jun back, and this time they walked for half an hour.
Li Liang found that he came to a road intersection, and Song Jun arranged for them to nail the horse rope here.
This place is far away from the battlefield, and it is behind the Song Army and Jin Army. Li Liang and Zhou Yong don't understand why the Song Army is nailing the horse rope here.
When Li Liang and Zhou Yong went down, a steady stream of Song troops behind them moved forward.
In addition to a large number of artillery being pushed forward, many archers such as divine arm bows, powerful crossbows, and infantry bows are also gathering forward.
Finally, we get to the gun shield soldiers and sword shield soldiers.
There were people holding torches everywhere in the Song army, and in the first few columns there were two people carrying horses one by one, and kept moving forward.
They walked until they were about [-] steps away from the Mongolian camp before stopping.
Of course the Mongolian army knew about the huge movement of the Song people.
Tuo Lei organized two night attacks on the Jin soldiers on the first night, respectively at around one o'clock and three o'clock in the middle of the night.
The first call today was around 01:30 late at night.
Not long after returning, Tuo Lei took a nap, but was woken up not long after he fell asleep.
Although the visibility was not good at night, the Song army carried torches and marched forward with great fanfare until they were within [-] steps. Of course, the Mongolian army soon discovered it.
Tuo Lei got up and walked to the gate of the camp to take a look. In the middle of the night, he could not see anything four hundred steps away. He could only see the flash of fire in the distance, which proved that a large number of Song and Jin troops were approaching.
"Have you gone out to see it? How many people came?" Tuo Lei asked.
The subordinate looked hesitant.
Who wants to go out in the middle of the night, what if they are ambushed?Now you can see the torches at the camp gate without going out.
"Maybe they want to disturb us. Jin Gou and Song Gou learn very quickly." Subotai, who was also awake next to him, sneered.
He estimated that the Song Army, like the Jin Army, wanted to send people over to shoot rockets to harass them.
"It's all around us. It seems to have blocked the whole front of us. We can see torches everywhere. It should be that the whole army is dispatched for a night attack." The subordinate said.
"What if they just send people to carry torches, and the real number is only a few thousand, to deliberately harass us?" Tuo Lei said dissatisfied.
Standing at the gate of the camp and just looking at the torches, it seems like there are people in all directions. What if it's a disguise? Don't you want to be deceived?
"Send a few teams to see what the Song and Jin coalition forces are doing?" Tuo Lei ordered to send people to check.
The Mongolian army ordered a few people and moved forward cautiously under the cover of night.
After walking for a while, suddenly a rocket appeared in the sky in front of them, followed by shouts of death and screams, and finally the Mongolian troops ran back.
Some bosses said that the Song Army (Jin Army) in front of them didn't seem to be harassing, but they were attacking at night. Before they got close, the opponent fired rockets first and then arrows. If it hadn't been dark and the visibility was not good, maybe lost heavily.
Tuo Lei couldn't help it now if he didn't believe it.
At this time, he had two choices, either add more troops, bring rockets, shoot all the way, explore all the way, and teach these Song people a lesson, or stay in the camp and wait for the Song and Jin coalition forces to attack.
But in ancient times, there was no reason to fight in the wild at night, and the Mongolian army was not used to it.
Tuo Lei thought for a moment and immediately ordered: "Call the generals from all ministries to come over to discuss matters. The Song and Jin coalition forces may attack at night."
"Here."
Toilei had no choice but to wake up all the Mongolian troops and prepare for a night attack by the Jin-Song coalition forces.
While the Mongolian army was preparing, Wanyan Heda was also preparing.
It is true that the Mongolian army had its garrison on Fangcheng Mountain with its back. In ancient times, when garrisoning troops in war, they had to find a place that could be defended.
This way the back won't be attacked.
Therefore, the Song Army and the Jin Army each have their own tasks.
The line that completely blocked the Mongolian army was more than ten miles long and was in the shape of a semicircle.
The Song army occupied two-thirds, and they used horse-drawn carriages to resist horses and added foot camps.
The Jin army was divided into one-third, which was less than five miles away.
Wanyan Heda had no tools and limited resources near the station. He only built hundreds of troops to resist horses. In addition, he relied entirely on 10,000+ infantry camps and accompanying carriages. Then the Song Army gave them [-] shovels. I don’t know what was wrong with the Song Army. Bring so many shovels and have them dig holes in the back.
The Jin soldiers' carriages were not as big as those of the Song army, but they had more people and more baggage. The infantry camp carried a lot of baggage. All the carriages and baggage were used, and the sergeants were asked to dig holes behind them.
If it is daytime at this time, look down from the sky.
In the huge wilderness, the Song and Jin coalition forces had formed a semicircular encirclement, blocking the Mongolian army in the south of Fangcheng Mountain.
From left to right, there is Juma, which is more than three miles long. There are three rows of Juma, with intervals in the middle. There is an artillery every 50 meters behind, and a shotgun every two or three.
Next came a carriage four to five miles long, with an artillery piece behind it every 100 meters or so.
About [-] of the [-] troops were all behind this nearly ten-mile-long defense line. The Song army had more artillery. After firing [-] of them, there were still a large number of extra cannons piled in the middle, waiting for the next order.
If there are only [-] troops spread out over ten miles, there will be an average of ten people per meter. One person can line up ten rows, which is basically equivalent to ten rows of Song troops behind the horses and carriages.
It is difficult for the cavalry to rush into such a formation.
Now with the rejection of horses and carriages, it is even more difficult to break through.
Further east is the Jinbing formation.
There are 18 Jin soldiers distributed on the defense line of about five miles, with 70 men per meter.
Coupled with the baggage they could pile up and the trenches they dug, the scene was densely packed with people and defense lines.
Hou Jin would be very good at this kind of fighting method in the future. Hou Jin often mobilized a large number of civilians and could dig more than ten or even dozens of miles of deep trenches in one night to surround the Ming army.
Now Yu Jie didn't have time to dig such a long trench, so he had to form a line of defense in the fastest and most concise way.
That night, the Mongolian army had been waiting for the Song and Jin coalition forces to attack at night, and did not come out to harass the Jin soldiers again. This gave the Song and Jin Dynasties ample time to prepare fortifications.
After the Song Army arrived, they continued to reinforce the scene until the torches were almost burned out.
It was probably around four o'clock in the evening, and it was still pitch black.
Sudden.
"Boom" was an earth-shaking loud noise, breaking the tranquility of the night.
In addition to the Song army, the Jin soldiers and the civilians who were digging holes were all shocked.
A heavy cannon on the west side took the lead and fired at the Mongolian camp one mile away.
The Song army that followed Yu Jie into Henan this time consisted of ten armies and 6 people, among which the pure infantry camp numbered five armies and [-] people.
According to the current standard configuration, each army has two artillery battalions and fifty cannons, including ten one-thousand-pound heavy cannons.
There are 250 guns and [-] heavy guns on site today.
This should be the battle in the Song Dynasty that used the most artillery since Zhao and Rui ascended the throne.
The first heavy cannon was discharged at high speed, and the shells flew more than 500 steps.
The Song army pushed the Juma to [-] paces to get within the range of the heavy artillery.
The first shot hit the Mongolian camp directly.
There are many Mongolian troops gathered here, preparing to prevent the Song army from attacking at night. Some are on horses, some are standing on the ground holding horses, and some are sitting on the ground.
Many people didn't know what happened. When the cannon fired, everyone's horses were startled. Then everyone looked up. When they saw something black and red appearing in the sky, it was already very close.
Before they could react, the cannonball hit the crowd hard.
With a bang, the ground shook and the mountains shook. Several people on horses near the landing point were knocked off their horses. It was not that the force was so great, and the horses were frightened and shook people off their horses.
Plop, plop, the cannonball rolled forward after landing, slicing several horses and people.
The scene was beaten like a chicken and a dog was jumping around, screaming in all kinds of ways.
But it's not over yet.
Boom, the second cannon rang again.
The Song army had a fixed arrangement of eighty cannons, and instead of firing in volleys, they fired one cannon after another.
There was about ten or twenty seconds in between.
The advantage of this is that after the No. 80 cannon is fired, the first cannon can basically be fired again, so that the sound of cannons can be continuous, giving people a deterrent effect of always being fired.
When dealing with large-scale field infantry, the psychological effect on the enemy may be better than the actual attack.
Next was the artillery performance of the Song Army, with thick smoke billowing and the sound of cannons continuing.
Cannonballs flew towards the Mongolian formation in an endless stream.
The Mongolian troops in the front were shocked. Every time a shell landed, the Mongolian troops around the impact point ran back one after another. They didn't know what happened behind them. They thought the Song and Jin coalition forces were coming.
It's late at night, and there's a big chaos in the Mongolian camp. It's going to be replaced by Jin soldiers, who might blow up the camp.Generals such as Tuo Lei and Subotai had experienced artillery at Dashan Pass, and then they remembered that the Song Army also had a long-range cannon.
This kind of gun is a nightmare for soldiers and horses camping at night.
It's just that they didn't expect that the Song Army could bring artillery to the field.
"The Song army dared to bring the artillery to the field?" Tuo Lei was furious. He almost didn't hesitate. He had long wanted to seize the Song army's artillery.
"Yin Zhu'er, take the people out and charge for a while to see if the Song army's layout is there and if there is a chance to seize the cannon and come back."
Yanzhu'er is from Wokuotai. The last time Tuo Lei sent him to negotiate, he wanted to kill him by the hands of the Song Dynasty. In the end, Yanzhu'er came back safely.
This time there was another opportunity. It was late at night, and Tuo Lei asked Yanzhu'er to go out to attack the Song army.
Yanzhu'er had no choice but to know that Tuo Lei wanted to borrow a knife to kill someone, so he bit the bullet and ordered three thousand riders.
Because it was night, Yizhu'er originally didn't want to bring the war horses, but considering that the front of the camp on the west side was very flat, there was no problem for the war horses to run.
He ordered three thousand elite soldiers and rode out of the camp.
No one dared to run fast at night and could only move forward slowly.
There were still densely packed torches in front of them, and it was obvious that the Song army was in large numbers.
Yan Zhu'er never thought about seizing the cannon because he probably wouldn't be able to capture it, but it was important to see the Song army's layout clearly.
"Rush." Seeing the torch in front of him getting closer and closer, Yanzhu'er tried to speed up.
Sudden.
There was a huge fire ahead.
Yan Zhu'er looked intently, and it took him a while to regain his senses. Song Jun was lighting rockets.
Song Jun's view must not be good, but after hearing the sound of horse hooves, he lit the rocket.
Swish, swish, the next moment, the sky was full of fire dragons, very beautiful, and a large number of rockets came through the sky.
Song Jun really couldn't see them clearly, so he could only shoot rockets in this direction.
Some of the rockets were ejected and fell to the ground, lighting up the scene like candles.
Some of the rockets also hit the Mongolian troops, who screamed and fell to the ground from time to time.
But this wave of rockets pointed out the direction and distance for what was to come.
"Bang, bang, bang," the sound of crossbows in front of the Song army's formation continued, and the divine arm bows fired one after another.
At this time, Yin Zhu'er should have just entered about a hundred steps. This wave is the most powerful distance of the divine arm bow, and the arrow can penetrate it.
Yan Zhu'er lowered his head and kept moving forward at a medium speed. He was not afraid of being hit by an arrow, but he was very afraid that the horse could not see clearly and ran around, or if he missed the mark and fell, he might be trampled to death by the companion's horse behind him.
Phew, a sound of flesh penetration suddenly came from beside him. He quickly turned his head and saw a confidant who didn't even scream. He fell from his horse with a bang, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead.
The empty war horse also screamed, and then, with a bang, another arrow hit the horse's forehead. The horse barely ran a few more steps, then crashed and fell.
The war horse fell and almost brought down Yanzhu'er. Yanzhu'er nimbly dodged to the side, screaming in his heart that it was scary.
The Song army's divine arm bow was too powerful. When they attacked Dashan Pass, he could see that any armor within a hundred steps was useless. At least three layers of armor were needed to avoid serious damage.
At this time, Yizhu'er discovered that the Song Army's rockets and divine arm bows were shooting. There were fires everywhere on the ground, and the sight of the scene was getting better and better.
The Song army shot very hard, but the Mongolian army had difficulty shooting.
It was late at night, and the sight was not good, so the horses did not dare to speed up. If they wanted to shoot at the Song army, they had to shoot at the bright spot of the Song army's torch.
But the slower they ran, the more they were shot by the Song army.
If the Song army's sight was not so bad at night, the thousands of them would have been shot by the Song army before they could reach within thirty steps.
Both sides were fighting blindly. The Song army won because there were more people and arrows, but the Mongolian army still suffered heavy losses.
After finally rushing within twenty steps, Yanzhu'er took a breath of air and finally could see the rows of horses in front of them.
Is Song Jun mentally ill? This was his first thought at the time, who would lead the horse in the field?
But it was meaningless to think about it at this time. The distance between the two sides was too close, and the opposite side was full of torches. The Song army was still lighting rockets and shooting them into their army. Rockets were also shot at the Juma, and the Juma was on fire. , the scene view is getting better and better.
The sight is better, which will definitely be detrimental to the Mongolian army.
The Song army had thick armor and used both foot and divine arm bows. There was a crackling sound on the opposite side, and the Mongolian army screamed in agony and fell off their horses one after another.
"Let's go, let's go." Yizhu'er was not an idiot. He saw that the Song Army's defense line was not easy to fight.
Even if they want to fight, they can only fight during the day. If the horses cannot run at night, they are looking for death.
He gave the order, shot an arrow in front of him, turned around and ran away.
Yan Zhu'er ordered [-] cavalry to go out to fight, but within a quarter of an hour, when he returned, he was short of nearly [-] cavalry.
The Mongolian army lost the first battle, and Tuo Lei looked grim, ashamed and angry.
But he also knew the layout of the Song army in front. The westernmost part of the Song army was full of Juma, and then there were all carriages. The Song army hid behind the Juma and carriages.
It was still late at night, and it was obviously impossible for the Mongolian army to move out in large numbers, so they could only stay in the camp.
But the Song army's artillery kept firing, and the Mongolian army camp was in a panic.
Tuo Lei quickly ordered all the ministries to stabilize the morale of the army. He said that the distance of the Song army's artillery was limited, so he had to retreat first and the whole army gathered.
Of course he knew that he couldn't let the Song army's artillery fire continue like this. If the fire continued like this, it wouldn't take long for the Mongolian army to collapse.
If the Song army's artillery can still push forward, they will be even worse.
At this time, Sun Sheng came to report that their left wing (the Jin soldiers' side) had no artillery. Tuo Lei knew that the Jin soldiers had no artillery, so he immediately ordered the entire army to assemble on the left wing and rush out at dawn.
It will be almost four o'clock, and it will be dawn soon.
The Song army fired relatively quickly in the first round of [-] cannons, but started to fire slower in the second round because it was estimated that the Mongolian army was retreating and the cannons could no longer be hit.
At the same time, more than 100 other cannons in the Song army's formation were pushed eastward, getting closer and closer to the Jin soldiers' defense line, and a large number of soldiers and horses also moved this way.
Yu Jie only arranged [-] cannons on the Song army's defense line, and the rest of the cannons were placed in the middle. Once the Mongolian army broke through from that side, they would push it over there.
The same goes for the troops and horses, which appear to be in a line, but in fact the main force is concentrated in the middle, moving at any time according to the direction of the Mongolian army's breakout.
He achieved the previous effect, using artillery and horseback to force the Mongolian army to fight against the Jin soldiers.
Sure enough, Tuo Lei discovered that the Jin soldiers had no artillery, and prepared to break through the Jin soldiers' defense line.
The Mongolian army shivered under the sound of artillery for nearly half an hour, and finally managed to survive until after five o'clock, when the sky became bright.
Following Tuo Lei's order, large groups of Mongolian troops rushed out and then gathered outside the camp to reorganize.
At this time, the Mongolian army can't do anything if they don't charge. They can't be blocked in the camp forever.
Yu Jie saw all the Mongolian troops concentrated towards the east and immediately ordered: "Narrow the encirclement."
The Song army raised their horses and moved forward to the right, because there were no Mongolian troops in front of them at this time, and all the people in the Mongolian camp had also gone east.
The Song army's formation began to compress to the right, trying to suppress the Mongolian army's movement space.
The Mongolian army could not control the Song army, and was preparing to fight out the Jin army's defense line with all its strength.
The vanguard is Tachar.
He brought a large group of Han cavalry and assigned a group of sentry cavalry to investigate first.
He was reorganizing the camp and gathering troops and horses, and the team of sentinels in front ran back.
"About four to five hundred paces away, the Jin soldiers did something to resist the horses. There was a line full of Jin soldiers, and there were all kinds of baggage and carriages pushing and stacking to block the road."
"How can a small horse resist my Mongolian cavalry?" Tacha'er was afraid that the Song army would resist the horse, but not that the Jin soldiers would resist the horse, because the Song army had three rows, and the Jin soldiers had only one row, and the Song army had more bows and crossbows, armor than gold soldiers. The soldiers are thick and the gold soldiers are obviously easy to fight.
He hurriedly gathered more than 4000 riders and gave the order.
Thousands of cavalry rushed forward crazily, and in the blink of an eye they were two hundred steps into the Jin army's formation.
At this time, Tachaer could see more clearly. The horizon ahead was almost entirely filled with horses.
He has experienced hundreds of battles in his life and has read a lot of history books. He has never seen or heard of anyone lining up so many horses in the field during the war. Is this special? Is the commander of the Jin Army a fool?
The key point is that the golden soldiers don't have any useful tools, and there aren't many trees in the camp where they are stationed. They only have a row of horses, which seems really useless.
But behind Juma were various supplies from the Jin Infantry Battalion, and all the carriages and everything were pushed up, forming an obstacle.
"Kill the golden dog." Tachaer rushed forward without saying a word.
The front is densely packed with golden soldiers.
The Jin soldiers didn't sleep much all night, and the Mongolian army was about the same. Both sides were in poor spirits.
If it were a matter of spirit versus physical strength, Song Jun would definitely have the upper hand. After all, they had been trained this way in the past few years.
The Jin soldiers arranged all their rifles and bows in front, and they shot when they saw the Mongolian army approaching.
The Mongolian army rushed to the front under the rain of arrows and started shooting.
The armor of the Jin soldiers was much worse than that of the Song soldiers.
Nowadays, the Jin people's national situation is not good and their economy is poor. Their armor is completely inferior to that of the Song army, and not one of them can wear iron armor.
The shooting exchanges between both sides were quite miserable. Although the Mongolian army was a moving target, many were hit, and a large number of golden soldiers fell to the ground.
The quality of the Jin soldiers was not as good as that of the Mongolian soldiers, and their discipline was also poor. After several rounds of shooting, due to heavy casualties, many Jin soldiers did not dare to raise their heads and huddled on the ground, relying on obstacles to avoid the rain of arrows from the opposite side.
Tachaer led the cavalry to move left and right, moving quickly to avoid the rain of arrows from the golden soldiers. After several rounds of shooting, there were many casualties.
At this time, there was the sound of a large number of horse hooves behind them, and Yin Zhu'er came up again with five thousand horses, and the order to drag mines came.
First open the gap from Jin Bing.
"Charge." Tacha'er gave the order and the whole army moved forward.
The Jin soldiers who were originally lined up around them also saw that the Mongolian army was rushing from here, and they all gathered here. People from both sides were gathering here.
The Jin Bing guard in charge here is the Zhongxiao Army infantry to control Zhang Hui.
Zhang Hui also came to the scene immediately and ordered all the ministries to gather here. At the same time, he also ordered two thousand people who did not participate in the battle to dig holes in the back. Dig quickly, dig now.
According to the requirements of the Song people, the pit does not need to be too big or too deep, as long as it can be trapped by the horseshoes. The shovels for digging the pits were given by the Song army. I really don't know what the Song army wanted to do with so many shovels.
The shouts of killing were loud at the scene, and the Tachaer tribe took the lead in charging at the Jin soldiers and resisting the horse.
The Jin soldiers had only one level to resist the horses. More importantly, the Jin soldiers' archers did not dare to shoot at the Mongolian soldiers and could not stop the Mongolian soldiers from advancing. After the Mongolian soldiers shot down the Jin soldiers' archers with casualties, they easily got close and then jumped Dismounted, pushed away the horses one by one, and pushed away the baggage.
The Mongolian army quickly cleared a gap of more than 100 steps at the scene.
But behind the gap is an ant-like golden infantry formation.
One-fifth of the 10,000+ infantry battalions of the Jin soldiers are gathering here, while more than 2 cavalry are patrolling the outside to check the movements of the main force towing mines.
Tacha'er also gasped when he came out. The endless ant-like golden infantry battalions in front of him were endless.
The Mongolian army can't use any kites or tactics now. They can only break through by fighting a bloody road.
On the one hand, he ordered to continue to widen the gap between the two horses, and on the other hand, he ordered to kill them directly.
Soon Yan Zhu'er came to his side and said loudly: "Yike Nayan asked us to fight out at no cost. After we go out, we will divide into two groups and see if we can hit the rear of the Song Army and the Jin Army. If not, , go separately and meet in Ye County."
Tachaer nodded, and there was a meaning of breaking out of the encirclement.
At this time, Tuo Lei knew that the Song army carried artillery in the field, and he didn't want to get entangled with the Song army. There were artillery on the opposite side, and you wouldn't be able to sleep well at night. He had to get rid of the Song army as soon as possible.
"You are in the west and I am in the east." Tachaer finally said to Yanzhu'er. Each of them took one, one on the left and one on the right, and rushed towards the Jin soldiers.
There is a dense infantry camp in front of them. It is said that it is difficult to break out of this kind of cavalry charge.
However, the quality of the Jin soldiers was uneven. Among the various ministries, the defenders from Tongguan and the infantry battalions of the Zhongxiao Army were the most elite.
However, Zhang Hui's defense line was very long, and the Jin soldiers stationed here were neither the elite of the Zhongxiao Army nor the defenders of Tongguan.
The Jin soldiers in front were thrown into confusion by a hail of arrows from the Mongolian army. Then the Mongolian troops surged up, stabbing with swords and spears, and the Jin soldiers' infantry camp retreated step by step.
Zhang Hui was so anxious that he kept mobilizing his remaining generals and sending in elite troops. However, the people in front could not retreat for a while. Once he gave the order to retreat, it might lead to a collapse, and the encirclement that he had worked hard for all night would be completely useless. .
"Damn it, why not be as good as Song Jun? Hold on, hold on, go up, up, up." Zhang Hui kept looking up in front of him.
At this time, less than 2 Mongolian troops were put into the battlefield, and there were still more than [-] troops in Tuo Lei's hands. No one knew whether Tuo Lei would choose another place to break out, which left more soldiers and horses of the Jin army. Don't dare to act rashly and leave the defense line.
The tow mine on the opposite side is actually having a headache now.
He had seen the situation outside and knew that the Song army and Jin soldiers had surrounded them overnight.
It sounded like a lie, but now he couldn't laugh even if he wanted to.
Don't look at the way Jin Bing's defense line was made. There was only a row of horses, and some baggage carriages were randomly piled behind it. It seemed that they could be moved and moved away by just sending some people.
But in order to push away the baggage and resist the horses, many people will be killed or injured. After the dead and injured people fall to the ground, new obstacles will be formed, which will affect the breakthrough later.
There are a large number of golden infantry and cavalry waiting behind the key horse. Whichever way you rush to, more soldiers and horses will gather on that side.
"This must have been thought up by the Song people." The more Tuo Lei thought about it, the more he hated it, but he didn't want to fight against the Song people.
The Song people's archers were much stronger than the Jin people's, and their armor was heavy and thick, so they could shoot at each other. After fighting for a while at night, they came back with a disastrous defeat. Now during the day, he didn't want to fight the Song army.
Jin people are still easy to bully.
"Where should we fight?" Tuo Lei waved his hand and pointed to the east.
The generals looked and saw that the direction Tuo Lei was pointing was about two miles away from Tachaer's breakout point, and many golden soldiers within two miles of Tachaer were going to block Tachaer.
Everyone instantly understood what Tuo Lei meant.
"The forwards can abandon their horses, and when they go up, they push away the horses and other objects to make space for the cavalry to charge, without giving the golden soldiers a chance to gather."
The charging men rode over, and after being killed or wounded, the horses would also become an obstacle for the Mongolian troops behind.
So Tuo Lei chose [-] suicide squads and directly went up with heavy armor to push back horses and other items.
At this time, the sky was already slightly bright, and the sight of the scene was quite good. At least within a hundred steps, it was clear. Among the more than 2 Mongolian troops, they divided into five groups, each with thousands of troops, and rushed towards five different places. They were all golden soldiers. Line of defense.
Wanyan Heda yelled, why didn't the Mongolian army attack the Song army?But he knew that just after dark, the Mongolian army defeated the Song army's defense line, and they must have felt that their Jin soldiers were easy to bully.
Wanyan Heda was so angry that he had to gather troops everywhere to block the Mongolian army.
The Mongolian army suddenly launched an attack on the easternmost side, led by Sun Zhu, who led a thousand cavalry. When they reached a hundred paces, 500 people suddenly jumped off their horses, drove their horses to both sides, and then rushed forward with shields in hand.
"Kill." Under the cover of another [-] cavalry and cavalry shooters, the [-] Mongolian infantry rushed to the front of the Jin soldiers' formation. The Jin soldiers rained arrows. The Mongolian soldiers, despite their casualties, desperately moved away and resisted the horses. Soon A second opening is formed.
Wanyan Heda immediately realized that the other routes were all fake, but this was the real one.
When he gathered his troops and ran eastward, there was a roar of mountains and tsunamis in front of him, and then a large number of golden soldiers fled.
The Mongolian army easily killed the Jin soldiers at the front of the defense line, and the Mongolian cavalry rushed in like a tide.
"Let's go, let's go." Without saying a word, Wanyan Heda led Monk Wanyan Chen and others, and the [-] Jin soldiers rushed forward one after another.
Without saying a word, Tuo Lei ordered the rest of the troops, including the fake attackers, to all go to Hu Shengsun's side.
The Jin soldiers' defense line is about five miles long, and the farthest distance is four or five miles. Many Jin soldiers are also gathering here, but it obviously takes time.
The more the Mongolian army rushed, the wider the gap became. More than 2 Mongolian troops successively crossed the Jinbing defense line.
Outside were ant-like infantry and cavalry of the Jin soldiers. Wanyan Heda and other troops also arrived at the scene. The Jin soldiers, infantry and cavalry combined forces to block the Mongolian army. The two sides fell into a big battle. The Mongolian army rushed left and right, unstoppable, and the Jin soldiers suffered heavy casualties. , but fight to the death.
On the vast battlefield, Jin Meng's nearly 20 soldiers and horses were already fighting together at close range.
About ten miles away from here, Yu Jie and his general Yang Cheng were jogging towards this side on horseback.
A commander quickly came from afar: "The Jin soldiers' defense line is too poor and was broken by the Mongolian army. Most of the Mongolian army has come out from the east, and the Jin soldiers are blocking it. Wanyan Heda asked us to support."
Yang Cheng laughed: "Tou Lei is very cowardly. He chose the place furthest away from us to break out."
Yu Jie asked: "How many troops and horses are there on both sides?"
Control said: "At least 10 people."
"Are you sure?" Yu Jie asked.
"The general is sure." The commander said. The general climbed up and took a look. The Mongolian army was divided into two groups, one with about 2 people and the other with more than [-]. The two armies were about two miles apart, and they were on both sides of the Jin army. He broke through in one place and was blocked by Jin soldiers.
There are about [-] to [-] Jin soldiers blocking the Mongolian army, and the rest of the Jin soldiers are also going there to support, but the distance is a bit far, and it takes a while to run these few miles.
The main force of the tow mines is in the east. After coming out, try to rush westward, probably because they want to join forces with Tacha'er and Anzhu'er.
Yang Chengdao: "In half an hour, there will be 20 troops on site."
In half an hour at most, as long as the Jin soldiers are not defeated, all the Jin soldiers will surround them and block them. Together with the Mongolian army, the scene will be a melee of 20 people.
The Mongolian army's kiting tactics are completely useless now, and they can only fight their way out. Once they retreat and the Jin soldiers reorganize their defense line, there is really a danger of the entire army being annihilated.
You said that your Mongolian army can still rely on cavalry and move elsewhere to break out?But the Jin soldiers also have cavalry, and the Song army has not moved yet.
Moreover, Tuo Lei now rushed in to fight with the Jin soldiers. The biggest reason was to guard against the Song people's artillery.
He believed that Song and Jin were allied forces. If the Mongolian army broke through and fought with the Jin soldiers, the Song army's artillery would be useless.
Tuo Lei could see through people's hearts, but not the hearts of Song people.
When Yu Jie heard this, a strange smile appeared on his face, and then his face darkened: "Push all the artillery over here."
"Assemble the trebuchet and prepare the petroleum bombs."
Yang Cheng seemed to know something, with a smile on his face.
The commander's expression changed slightly: "Commander, are the Jin and Meng armies fighting together?"
"It would be better to kill them together." Yu Jie said, "What we have been waiting for is now."
"Hiss" The commander took a breath, with a look of disbelief on his face. Only then did he realize that his boss wanted to do something serious.
Yu Jie looked into the distance at this time and said deeply: "Almost the last 17 elite soldiers and horses of the Jin Kingdom are concentrated here."
"As long as they are defeated, the Kingdom of Jin will be ruined."
"As for the Mongolian army, haha." Yu Jie looked towards Gaoli, then towards Xixia, and then towards Shandong.
The Mongolian army has too much time to take care of itself, and Wo Kuotai must withdraw its troops.
Many generals who were following Yu Jie were extremely shocked. Only then did everyone realize that the Song Army was actually going to fight two, and at the most critical moment, they simultaneously defeated the Mongolian Army and the Jin Army.
It seems that no one has done this in the entire ancient history.
Yang Cheng, his confidant, was the only one who knew about this. He was also responsible for thousands of civilians digging pits and arranging horse ropes for several miles or even more than ten miles away from the battlefield to remove all Jinmeng's retreat routes and the roads that could be taken in all directions. They have blocked them all, and now they need time to let Jin Meng fight without deciding the outcome all morning.
This battle, regardless of success or failure, will go down in history, and Yang Cheng believes that this battle will definitely succeed, but after this battle, everyone in the world will know the insidiousness of the Song army and the shamelessness of the Song emperor Zhao Yurui.
"We can transport more horses and carriages from the western front and block them behind the Jin soldiers." Yang Cheng suggested in a low voice at this time.
The Mongolian army did not dare to rush from the western front, and many of the Song army's arrangements on the western front could be moved to the eastern front.
"Okay." Yu Jie nodded heavily, then raised his head and ordered: "Repay Wanyan Heda, our army will come immediately, let him withstand it."
(End of this chapter)
Li Liang, Zheng Youcai, Zhou Yong, and He Daniu were sitting around their carriages bored.
They had just followed Song Jun to the scene, and it was already around ten o'clock in the evening.
Everyone was tired and tired. Zheng Youcai was sitting on the wheel and started snoring before taking a few breaths.
Zhou Yong and He Daniu looked at Zheng Youcai. They pulled out the quilts they brought from home from the carriage, wrapped them around themselves, and lay down behind the carriage, preparing to sleep.
Only Li Liang didn't want to sleep. He lay on the carriage and looked up at the starry sky. The moonlight was good today, and he could still see a little while walking.
But after following Song Jun for only a few days, I already felt that it was hard to make money.
I just came out to make money, but I found it very hard to follow Song Jun. I had to walk every day, and Song Jun also walked at night.
Last night, they didn't arrive at the Duoshui River until three o'clock in the evening. Many people arrived and fell asleep. Some people were freezing because of it. Fortunately, the people of Song Dynasty were also generous enough. They asked for more money this morning to pay for yesterday's meal. For marching at night, one hundred coins will be charged per person.
These few people can be considered young and strong soldiers of the Jin Dynasty, but when they were stationed in Caizhou, they had never marched at night. This time they followed the Song army and marched very well.
The Song army had infantry and cavalry guarding the road on both sides, and there were people leading the way. As long as they followed the large army and did not leave the group, they would basically not go wrong.
Today they didn't arrive until ten o'clock in the evening. On the way there, they encountered golden soldiers who had fallen behind from time to time.
Only then did they know that 10,000+ Jin soldiers were also marching at night, but the Jin soldiers seemed to be poorly organized and moved in a mess. The Jin soldiers' infantry battalion approached half an hour before Li Liang and the others, but was stopped halfway by Li Liang and the others. Caught up.
You must know that Li Liang and others can be regarded as the Song Army's baggage camp, all with carriages and baggage.
The Jin soldiers' 10,000+ infantry camp dragged out for several miles. After the front ones arrived, the last ones walked for more than an hour before arriving.
As a Jinbing soldier, Li Liang felt that the Jinbing Infantry Battalion was useless.
He just said a few words to Zhou Yong. Regarding the performance of the Jinbing infantry camp tonight, the Jinbing infantry camp is not suitable for night marches. If they are attacked halfway, they will be destroyed.
Zhou Yong said don't be afraid, you won't be attacked. I heard that tens of thousands of sentries and cavalry are guarding the Mongolian army on the outside.
The Song and Jin allied forces sent out a large number of sentry cavalry, and Yu Jie and other cavalry were in front, so there was little chance of them being raided in the rear.
"Centurion, Centurion." Li Liang didn't know that Zhou Yong was going to sleep, so he called him from above.
"What are you doing? It's so late and you're still not sleeping." Zhou Yong muttered.
"How many days do you think we have to follow the Song Army? Can our army and the Song Army join forces to defeat the tow mine?"
"How do I know?" Zhou Yong said: "We have hundreds of thousands of troops, and we will definitely not be able to defeat them with towed mines."
"I don't know how long it will take to follow?"
"The longer you follow, the better. The Song people will give you money anyway."
Li Liang was about to say something else, when suddenly a torch approached not far away.
He quickly sat up, and a bunch of torches came in front of him, all of them were Song troops.
"Get up, get up, don't sleep yet." Song Jun arrived at the scene.
The husbandmen at the scene were called out one after another.
"We are divided into two groups. One group goes northwest to the end of the Shuishui River. There is a jungle on the riverside. We all go there to help."
"The other part follows and goes east."
Some people in the crowd couldn't help but asked: "We have to work again at night?" Are you going to let people sleep?
Li Liang glanced at this man and thought, it's pretty good that Song people didn't hold a knife to talk to you, but they still dare to give opinions?
In the Jin barracks, the Jin soldiers come directly with their swords and ask you to work.
The Song man wasn't angry either, and just said: "Every hour we work today, each person will receive fifty cents."
"Fifty cents an hour?"
"Fifty Wen per hour. Han people do not deceive Han people." The Song man said again, repeating this sentence.
Hahaha, there was laughter all around. What everyone has heard the most recently is the phrase "Han people don't lie to Han people."
At first, everyone didn’t take it seriously. After hearing more, many people may be subconsciously thinking, am I a Han and not a Jin?
After laughing, everyone had no choice but to divide into two groups and follow the Song people.
Li Liang and Zhou Yong went to the northwest, while Zheng Youcai and He Daniu were called to the other side.
Li Liang and Zhou Yong's place was a bit far away from here, and it took them two quarters of an hour to get there.
This is the end of the Shui Shui River. There is a jungle by the river. When they arrived, they found that many Song troops were already there, lighting fires or torches everywhere. The Song people stuck the torches on the ground and watched them in rows. It's bright.
Song Jun had already sawed many trees in advance, and Li Liang knew after a few glances that they were building a horse.
Someone handed them a small saw and a bunch of rope and told them how to build it. It was very simple.
This saw was something they had never seen before. It was only half the length of an arm, about several fingers wide, and the teeth were large and obvious.
The handle is like a clenched fist, and the shape is relatively novel.
There are piles of trees on the ground that were sawn down by the Song army infantry who came first. The trees are not thick, only about the thickness of an arm.
Li Liang and the others used three long bars as horizontal bars, one at the top and two at the bottom, and tied three short bars on the left and right. This created a simple horse-rejection bar.
The Song Army required that the horse be about two meters long and 1.5 meters high. The shape was very simple, with three long and six short, tied together with nine wooden sticks. The finished product looked like a triangle from the side without any additions in the middle.
Li Liang and others have also done horse-rejection, and they feel that this is the easiest horse-rejection they have ever seen.
But the efficiency was really fast, because before they came, Song Jun had already sawed a lot of wood on site.
They work in pairs, cut into small pieces, and then tie them up. They can build one in a few minutes.
After each one was built, a Song army came over and pulled the hemp rope to see if they were tied tightly. Then they ordered two civilians to carry it away directly and line it up to the side.
A strong peasant could even carry one of them alone.
They worked for about an hour until about twelve o'clock in the evening. Li Liang and Zhou Yong worked together to create a total of eighteen films.
When Li Liang handed in the saw, he looked up and looked around. Under the light of the torch, there were people everywhere. It was estimated that there must be thousands of people at the scene.
A large clearing was cut out of the jungle ahead.
Later they learned that the Song Army had sent people to saw a large amount of wood overnight near another station (Laushi Dasi Forest Park) yesterday.
After only two nights of collection, the Song Army built a total of two thousand simple horse-fighting horses.
After building the Juma, Song Jun asked them to go to the back and have other tasks.
When Li Liang and Zhou Yong were leaving, they saw a large number of Song troops wearing armor and armed with weapons. Then many Song troops started to move forward with torches in one hand and horses in the other.
"We are going to attack the Mongolian army at night." Li Liang whispered to Zhou Yong quietly.
Zhou Yong's mouth was crooked: "Light all the torches and attack at night. The Mongolian army can see them from a long way away."
Li Liang thought for a moment: "Then the Mongolian army may not dare to come out, it will still be a night attack."
Zhou Yong was stunned for a moment, as if this was the truth.
Even if the Song and Jin armies passed by with torches, the Mongolian army might not leave the camp when they saw it. They might be waiting in the camp.
While the two were talking, the horse built on the spot was carried forward by Song Jun and two of them.
When the two of them walked to the back, they saw more Song troops walking forward. There were Song troops on the side urging them to retreat quickly and go to the east. Every few people gave them a torch to light the way.
They, the civilians, finally made it to the east and saw a large number of artillery at the scene.
"Come on, come on, help push the cannon."
This was the first time that the Song Army asked them to push artillery. Li Liang and Zhou Yong were a little excited, and finally saw the Song Army's artillery at close range.
The civilian husbands were divided into groups of seven, one person was assigned to light the torch, two people were assigned to shovels, and the other four were responsible for pushing the cannon.
The Song Army asked to push forward slowly. When they saw that the road was uneven, they used shovels to deal with it. There were two Song Army soldiers following each cannon. The Song Army soldiers were pulling separate carriages. Later Li Liang found out that the carriages contained Gunpowder and cannonballs.
Li Liang and Zhou Yong were unlucky this time because they were assigned a heavy cannon.
This cannon is quite heavy. There is a Song army with two horses pulling it in front. Four of them are pushing behind. Six people and two horses come together. Only then can the cannon keep up with the pace of the walking battalion. From time to time, there are people holding shovels on the side. Will also come to help.
I don’t know how long I pushed, but around 01:30 in the evening, suddenly there was a firelight flying in the sky not far away, and then there was a faint cry of killing.
This is the old routine of the Mongolian army. They sent people to attack the Jinbing camp at around one o'clock in the evening. Tonight it was half an hour later than last night.
The Mongolian army probably knew that the Song army had divine arm bows, so they only harassed Wanyan Heda's camp.
There was another round of scolding from Wanyan Heda's side, but he also did not dare to send troops out.
There was silence on the Song Army side, but Li Liang and the others were still pushing the cannon forward. Li Liang suddenly felt that the cannon was not being pushed in the direction of the Mongolian army, but how could it look like it was being pushed in the direction of the Jin soldiers?
After the Mongolian army retreats, according to the Mongolian army's rules, about half to an hour later, the second wave will come, and sometimes the third wave will come, mainly to harass the enemy.
This time they pushed and pulled the cannon for almost half an hour. Because it was night, Li Liang and Zhou Yong didn't know where they were. Anyway, after they stopped, they were surrounded by people, carriages, and cannons.
At this time, all the civilians were called to the back. Song Jun collected their shovels, and then Song Jun brought new things and showed them.
I saw Song Jun in a group of three, one holding a sledgehammer they had never seen before, one holding a large iron nail, and the other holding a hemp rope.
A Song Jun picked up an arm-long (about [-] centimeters long) iron nail about the thickness of a chopstick with both hands and placed it on the ground.
"Dang, Dang, Dang." Another Song soldier picked up a big hammer and hammered it a few times before driving the iron nails into the ground, which were about [-] centimeters long.
Then start nailing one piece every ten meters or so. The person in front will nail it, and someone from behind will bring hemp rope and tie it at both ends.
"Mixing Masuo?" Li Liang and Zhou Yong were stunned. Song Jun was so efficient.
There are three people in a row, from left to right, the person in front is driving nails, and the person behind is tying them with hemp rope.
On average, there is one nail per ten meters, and three or four people can do the job.
In the blink of an eye, five or six lines of mixed horse ropes were nailed to the scene.
The horse rope kept going to the right, and they didn't know how long it was nailed, but Li Liang and Zhou Yong were sure that the Mongolian army would not come out, and the Song army could keep nailing it here until dawn.
"Did you see? You work in groups of three. We have people to help get supplies. The hemp ropes and nails are all on the horses behind."
Each group of them is also assigned a Song Army, who is mainly responsible for getting supplies and teaching them to work.
Then the civilians at the scene suddenly dispersed, and everyone dispersed in all directions.
Li Liang, Zhou Yong and another civilian husband were taken away by a Song army.
Song Jun held a torch in one hand and led a horse with the other. There were bags on the left and right sides of the horse's back containing nails and hemp ropes. The three of them followed Song Jun back, and this time they walked for half an hour.
Li Liang found that he came to a road intersection, and Song Jun arranged for them to nail the horse rope here.
This place is far away from the battlefield, and it is behind the Song Army and Jin Army. Li Liang and Zhou Yong don't understand why the Song Army is nailing the horse rope here.
When Li Liang and Zhou Yong went down, a steady stream of Song troops behind them moved forward.
In addition to a large number of artillery being pushed forward, many archers such as divine arm bows, powerful crossbows, and infantry bows are also gathering forward.
Finally, we get to the gun shield soldiers and sword shield soldiers.
There were people holding torches everywhere in the Song army, and in the first few columns there were two people carrying horses one by one, and kept moving forward.
They walked until they were about [-] steps away from the Mongolian camp before stopping.
Of course the Mongolian army knew about the huge movement of the Song people.
Tuo Lei organized two night attacks on the Jin soldiers on the first night, respectively at around one o'clock and three o'clock in the middle of the night.
The first call today was around 01:30 late at night.
Not long after returning, Tuo Lei took a nap, but was woken up not long after he fell asleep.
Although the visibility was not good at night, the Song army carried torches and marched forward with great fanfare until they were within [-] steps. Of course, the Mongolian army soon discovered it.
Tuo Lei got up and walked to the gate of the camp to take a look. In the middle of the night, he could not see anything four hundred steps away. He could only see the flash of fire in the distance, which proved that a large number of Song and Jin troops were approaching.
"Have you gone out to see it? How many people came?" Tuo Lei asked.
The subordinate looked hesitant.
Who wants to go out in the middle of the night, what if they are ambushed?Now you can see the torches at the camp gate without going out.
"Maybe they want to disturb us. Jin Gou and Song Gou learn very quickly." Subotai, who was also awake next to him, sneered.
He estimated that the Song Army, like the Jin Army, wanted to send people over to shoot rockets to harass them.
"It's all around us. It seems to have blocked the whole front of us. We can see torches everywhere. It should be that the whole army is dispatched for a night attack." The subordinate said.
"What if they just send people to carry torches, and the real number is only a few thousand, to deliberately harass us?" Tuo Lei said dissatisfied.
Standing at the gate of the camp and just looking at the torches, it seems like there are people in all directions. What if it's a disguise? Don't you want to be deceived?
"Send a few teams to see what the Song and Jin coalition forces are doing?" Tuo Lei ordered to send people to check.
The Mongolian army ordered a few people and moved forward cautiously under the cover of night.
After walking for a while, suddenly a rocket appeared in the sky in front of them, followed by shouts of death and screams, and finally the Mongolian troops ran back.
Some bosses said that the Song Army (Jin Army) in front of them didn't seem to be harassing, but they were attacking at night. Before they got close, the opponent fired rockets first and then arrows. If it hadn't been dark and the visibility was not good, maybe lost heavily.
Tuo Lei couldn't help it now if he didn't believe it.
At this time, he had two choices, either add more troops, bring rockets, shoot all the way, explore all the way, and teach these Song people a lesson, or stay in the camp and wait for the Song and Jin coalition forces to attack.
But in ancient times, there was no reason to fight in the wild at night, and the Mongolian army was not used to it.
Tuo Lei thought for a moment and immediately ordered: "Call the generals from all ministries to come over to discuss matters. The Song and Jin coalition forces may attack at night."
"Here."
Toilei had no choice but to wake up all the Mongolian troops and prepare for a night attack by the Jin-Song coalition forces.
While the Mongolian army was preparing, Wanyan Heda was also preparing.
It is true that the Mongolian army had its garrison on Fangcheng Mountain with its back. In ancient times, when garrisoning troops in war, they had to find a place that could be defended.
This way the back won't be attacked.
Therefore, the Song Army and the Jin Army each have their own tasks.
The line that completely blocked the Mongolian army was more than ten miles long and was in the shape of a semicircle.
The Song army occupied two-thirds, and they used horse-drawn carriages to resist horses and added foot camps.
The Jin army was divided into one-third, which was less than five miles away.
Wanyan Heda had no tools and limited resources near the station. He only built hundreds of troops to resist horses. In addition, he relied entirely on 10,000+ infantry camps and accompanying carriages. Then the Song Army gave them [-] shovels. I don’t know what was wrong with the Song Army. Bring so many shovels and have them dig holes in the back.
The Jin soldiers' carriages were not as big as those of the Song army, but they had more people and more baggage. The infantry camp carried a lot of baggage. All the carriages and baggage were used, and the sergeants were asked to dig holes behind them.
If it is daytime at this time, look down from the sky.
In the huge wilderness, the Song and Jin coalition forces had formed a semicircular encirclement, blocking the Mongolian army in the south of Fangcheng Mountain.
From left to right, there is Juma, which is more than three miles long. There are three rows of Juma, with intervals in the middle. There is an artillery every 50 meters behind, and a shotgun every two or three.
Next came a carriage four to five miles long, with an artillery piece behind it every 100 meters or so.
About [-] of the [-] troops were all behind this nearly ten-mile-long defense line. The Song army had more artillery. After firing [-] of them, there were still a large number of extra cannons piled in the middle, waiting for the next order.
If there are only [-] troops spread out over ten miles, there will be an average of ten people per meter. One person can line up ten rows, which is basically equivalent to ten rows of Song troops behind the horses and carriages.
It is difficult for the cavalry to rush into such a formation.
Now with the rejection of horses and carriages, it is even more difficult to break through.
Further east is the Jinbing formation.
There are 18 Jin soldiers distributed on the defense line of about five miles, with 70 men per meter.
Coupled with the baggage they could pile up and the trenches they dug, the scene was densely packed with people and defense lines.
Hou Jin would be very good at this kind of fighting method in the future. Hou Jin often mobilized a large number of civilians and could dig more than ten or even dozens of miles of deep trenches in one night to surround the Ming army.
Now Yu Jie didn't have time to dig such a long trench, so he had to form a line of defense in the fastest and most concise way.
That night, the Mongolian army had been waiting for the Song and Jin coalition forces to attack at night, and did not come out to harass the Jin soldiers again. This gave the Song and Jin Dynasties ample time to prepare fortifications.
After the Song Army arrived, they continued to reinforce the scene until the torches were almost burned out.
It was probably around four o'clock in the evening, and it was still pitch black.
Sudden.
"Boom" was an earth-shaking loud noise, breaking the tranquility of the night.
In addition to the Song army, the Jin soldiers and the civilians who were digging holes were all shocked.
A heavy cannon on the west side took the lead and fired at the Mongolian camp one mile away.
The Song army that followed Yu Jie into Henan this time consisted of ten armies and 6 people, among which the pure infantry camp numbered five armies and [-] people.
According to the current standard configuration, each army has two artillery battalions and fifty cannons, including ten one-thousand-pound heavy cannons.
There are 250 guns and [-] heavy guns on site today.
This should be the battle in the Song Dynasty that used the most artillery since Zhao and Rui ascended the throne.
The first heavy cannon was discharged at high speed, and the shells flew more than 500 steps.
The Song army pushed the Juma to [-] paces to get within the range of the heavy artillery.
The first shot hit the Mongolian camp directly.
There are many Mongolian troops gathered here, preparing to prevent the Song army from attacking at night. Some are on horses, some are standing on the ground holding horses, and some are sitting on the ground.
Many people didn't know what happened. When the cannon fired, everyone's horses were startled. Then everyone looked up. When they saw something black and red appearing in the sky, it was already very close.
Before they could react, the cannonball hit the crowd hard.
With a bang, the ground shook and the mountains shook. Several people on horses near the landing point were knocked off their horses. It was not that the force was so great, and the horses were frightened and shook people off their horses.
Plop, plop, the cannonball rolled forward after landing, slicing several horses and people.
The scene was beaten like a chicken and a dog was jumping around, screaming in all kinds of ways.
But it's not over yet.
Boom, the second cannon rang again.
The Song army had a fixed arrangement of eighty cannons, and instead of firing in volleys, they fired one cannon after another.
There was about ten or twenty seconds in between.
The advantage of this is that after the No. 80 cannon is fired, the first cannon can basically be fired again, so that the sound of cannons can be continuous, giving people a deterrent effect of always being fired.
When dealing with large-scale field infantry, the psychological effect on the enemy may be better than the actual attack.
Next was the artillery performance of the Song Army, with thick smoke billowing and the sound of cannons continuing.
Cannonballs flew towards the Mongolian formation in an endless stream.
The Mongolian troops in the front were shocked. Every time a shell landed, the Mongolian troops around the impact point ran back one after another. They didn't know what happened behind them. They thought the Song and Jin coalition forces were coming.
It's late at night, and there's a big chaos in the Mongolian camp. It's going to be replaced by Jin soldiers, who might blow up the camp.Generals such as Tuo Lei and Subotai had experienced artillery at Dashan Pass, and then they remembered that the Song Army also had a long-range cannon.
This kind of gun is a nightmare for soldiers and horses camping at night.
It's just that they didn't expect that the Song Army could bring artillery to the field.
"The Song army dared to bring the artillery to the field?" Tuo Lei was furious. He almost didn't hesitate. He had long wanted to seize the Song army's artillery.
"Yin Zhu'er, take the people out and charge for a while to see if the Song army's layout is there and if there is a chance to seize the cannon and come back."
Yanzhu'er is from Wokuotai. The last time Tuo Lei sent him to negotiate, he wanted to kill him by the hands of the Song Dynasty. In the end, Yanzhu'er came back safely.
This time there was another opportunity. It was late at night, and Tuo Lei asked Yanzhu'er to go out to attack the Song army.
Yanzhu'er had no choice but to know that Tuo Lei wanted to borrow a knife to kill someone, so he bit the bullet and ordered three thousand riders.
Because it was night, Yizhu'er originally didn't want to bring the war horses, but considering that the front of the camp on the west side was very flat, there was no problem for the war horses to run.
He ordered three thousand elite soldiers and rode out of the camp.
No one dared to run fast at night and could only move forward slowly.
There were still densely packed torches in front of them, and it was obvious that the Song army was in large numbers.
Yan Zhu'er never thought about seizing the cannon because he probably wouldn't be able to capture it, but it was important to see the Song army's layout clearly.
"Rush." Seeing the torch in front of him getting closer and closer, Yanzhu'er tried to speed up.
Sudden.
There was a huge fire ahead.
Yan Zhu'er looked intently, and it took him a while to regain his senses. Song Jun was lighting rockets.
Song Jun's view must not be good, but after hearing the sound of horse hooves, he lit the rocket.
Swish, swish, the next moment, the sky was full of fire dragons, very beautiful, and a large number of rockets came through the sky.
Song Jun really couldn't see them clearly, so he could only shoot rockets in this direction.
Some of the rockets were ejected and fell to the ground, lighting up the scene like candles.
Some of the rockets also hit the Mongolian troops, who screamed and fell to the ground from time to time.
But this wave of rockets pointed out the direction and distance for what was to come.
"Bang, bang, bang," the sound of crossbows in front of the Song army's formation continued, and the divine arm bows fired one after another.
At this time, Yin Zhu'er should have just entered about a hundred steps. This wave is the most powerful distance of the divine arm bow, and the arrow can penetrate it.
Yan Zhu'er lowered his head and kept moving forward at a medium speed. He was not afraid of being hit by an arrow, but he was very afraid that the horse could not see clearly and ran around, or if he missed the mark and fell, he might be trampled to death by the companion's horse behind him.
Phew, a sound of flesh penetration suddenly came from beside him. He quickly turned his head and saw a confidant who didn't even scream. He fell from his horse with a bang, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead.
The empty war horse also screamed, and then, with a bang, another arrow hit the horse's forehead. The horse barely ran a few more steps, then crashed and fell.
The war horse fell and almost brought down Yanzhu'er. Yanzhu'er nimbly dodged to the side, screaming in his heart that it was scary.
The Song army's divine arm bow was too powerful. When they attacked Dashan Pass, he could see that any armor within a hundred steps was useless. At least three layers of armor were needed to avoid serious damage.
At this time, Yizhu'er discovered that the Song Army's rockets and divine arm bows were shooting. There were fires everywhere on the ground, and the sight of the scene was getting better and better.
The Song army shot very hard, but the Mongolian army had difficulty shooting.
It was late at night, and the sight was not good, so the horses did not dare to speed up. If they wanted to shoot at the Song army, they had to shoot at the bright spot of the Song army's torch.
But the slower they ran, the more they were shot by the Song army.
If the Song army's sight was not so bad at night, the thousands of them would have been shot by the Song army before they could reach within thirty steps.
Both sides were fighting blindly. The Song army won because there were more people and arrows, but the Mongolian army still suffered heavy losses.
After finally rushing within twenty steps, Yanzhu'er took a breath of air and finally could see the rows of horses in front of them.
Is Song Jun mentally ill? This was his first thought at the time, who would lead the horse in the field?
But it was meaningless to think about it at this time. The distance between the two sides was too close, and the opposite side was full of torches. The Song army was still lighting rockets and shooting them into their army. Rockets were also shot at the Juma, and the Juma was on fire. , the scene view is getting better and better.
The sight is better, which will definitely be detrimental to the Mongolian army.
The Song army had thick armor and used both foot and divine arm bows. There was a crackling sound on the opposite side, and the Mongolian army screamed in agony and fell off their horses one after another.
"Let's go, let's go." Yizhu'er was not an idiot. He saw that the Song Army's defense line was not easy to fight.
Even if they want to fight, they can only fight during the day. If the horses cannot run at night, they are looking for death.
He gave the order, shot an arrow in front of him, turned around and ran away.
Yan Zhu'er ordered [-] cavalry to go out to fight, but within a quarter of an hour, when he returned, he was short of nearly [-] cavalry.
The Mongolian army lost the first battle, and Tuo Lei looked grim, ashamed and angry.
But he also knew the layout of the Song army in front. The westernmost part of the Song army was full of Juma, and then there were all carriages. The Song army hid behind the Juma and carriages.
It was still late at night, and it was obviously impossible for the Mongolian army to move out in large numbers, so they could only stay in the camp.
But the Song army's artillery kept firing, and the Mongolian army camp was in a panic.
Tuo Lei quickly ordered all the ministries to stabilize the morale of the army. He said that the distance of the Song army's artillery was limited, so he had to retreat first and the whole army gathered.
Of course he knew that he couldn't let the Song army's artillery fire continue like this. If the fire continued like this, it wouldn't take long for the Mongolian army to collapse.
If the Song army's artillery can still push forward, they will be even worse.
At this time, Sun Sheng came to report that their left wing (the Jin soldiers' side) had no artillery. Tuo Lei knew that the Jin soldiers had no artillery, so he immediately ordered the entire army to assemble on the left wing and rush out at dawn.
It will be almost four o'clock, and it will be dawn soon.
The Song army fired relatively quickly in the first round of [-] cannons, but started to fire slower in the second round because it was estimated that the Mongolian army was retreating and the cannons could no longer be hit.
At the same time, more than 100 other cannons in the Song army's formation were pushed eastward, getting closer and closer to the Jin soldiers' defense line, and a large number of soldiers and horses also moved this way.
Yu Jie only arranged [-] cannons on the Song army's defense line, and the rest of the cannons were placed in the middle. Once the Mongolian army broke through from that side, they would push it over there.
The same goes for the troops and horses, which appear to be in a line, but in fact the main force is concentrated in the middle, moving at any time according to the direction of the Mongolian army's breakout.
He achieved the previous effect, using artillery and horseback to force the Mongolian army to fight against the Jin soldiers.
Sure enough, Tuo Lei discovered that the Jin soldiers had no artillery, and prepared to break through the Jin soldiers' defense line.
The Mongolian army shivered under the sound of artillery for nearly half an hour, and finally managed to survive until after five o'clock, when the sky became bright.
Following Tuo Lei's order, large groups of Mongolian troops rushed out and then gathered outside the camp to reorganize.
At this time, the Mongolian army can't do anything if they don't charge. They can't be blocked in the camp forever.
Yu Jie saw all the Mongolian troops concentrated towards the east and immediately ordered: "Narrow the encirclement."
The Song army raised their horses and moved forward to the right, because there were no Mongolian troops in front of them at this time, and all the people in the Mongolian camp had also gone east.
The Song army's formation began to compress to the right, trying to suppress the Mongolian army's movement space.
The Mongolian army could not control the Song army, and was preparing to fight out the Jin army's defense line with all its strength.
The vanguard is Tachar.
He brought a large group of Han cavalry and assigned a group of sentry cavalry to investigate first.
He was reorganizing the camp and gathering troops and horses, and the team of sentinels in front ran back.
"About four to five hundred paces away, the Jin soldiers did something to resist the horses. There was a line full of Jin soldiers, and there were all kinds of baggage and carriages pushing and stacking to block the road."
"How can a small horse resist my Mongolian cavalry?" Tacha'er was afraid that the Song army would resist the horse, but not that the Jin soldiers would resist the horse, because the Song army had three rows, and the Jin soldiers had only one row, and the Song army had more bows and crossbows, armor than gold soldiers. The soldiers are thick and the gold soldiers are obviously easy to fight.
He hurriedly gathered more than 4000 riders and gave the order.
Thousands of cavalry rushed forward crazily, and in the blink of an eye they were two hundred steps into the Jin army's formation.
At this time, Tachaer could see more clearly. The horizon ahead was almost entirely filled with horses.
He has experienced hundreds of battles in his life and has read a lot of history books. He has never seen or heard of anyone lining up so many horses in the field during the war. Is this special? Is the commander of the Jin Army a fool?
The key point is that the golden soldiers don't have any useful tools, and there aren't many trees in the camp where they are stationed. They only have a row of horses, which seems really useless.
But behind Juma were various supplies from the Jin Infantry Battalion, and all the carriages and everything were pushed up, forming an obstacle.
"Kill the golden dog." Tachaer rushed forward without saying a word.
The front is densely packed with golden soldiers.
The Jin soldiers didn't sleep much all night, and the Mongolian army was about the same. Both sides were in poor spirits.
If it were a matter of spirit versus physical strength, Song Jun would definitely have the upper hand. After all, they had been trained this way in the past few years.
The Jin soldiers arranged all their rifles and bows in front, and they shot when they saw the Mongolian army approaching.
The Mongolian army rushed to the front under the rain of arrows and started shooting.
The armor of the Jin soldiers was much worse than that of the Song soldiers.
Nowadays, the Jin people's national situation is not good and their economy is poor. Their armor is completely inferior to that of the Song army, and not one of them can wear iron armor.
The shooting exchanges between both sides were quite miserable. Although the Mongolian army was a moving target, many were hit, and a large number of golden soldiers fell to the ground.
The quality of the Jin soldiers was not as good as that of the Mongolian soldiers, and their discipline was also poor. After several rounds of shooting, due to heavy casualties, many Jin soldiers did not dare to raise their heads and huddled on the ground, relying on obstacles to avoid the rain of arrows from the opposite side.
Tachaer led the cavalry to move left and right, moving quickly to avoid the rain of arrows from the golden soldiers. After several rounds of shooting, there were many casualties.
At this time, there was the sound of a large number of horse hooves behind them, and Yin Zhu'er came up again with five thousand horses, and the order to drag mines came.
First open the gap from Jin Bing.
"Charge." Tacha'er gave the order and the whole army moved forward.
The Jin soldiers who were originally lined up around them also saw that the Mongolian army was rushing from here, and they all gathered here. People from both sides were gathering here.
The Jin Bing guard in charge here is the Zhongxiao Army infantry to control Zhang Hui.
Zhang Hui also came to the scene immediately and ordered all the ministries to gather here. At the same time, he also ordered two thousand people who did not participate in the battle to dig holes in the back. Dig quickly, dig now.
According to the requirements of the Song people, the pit does not need to be too big or too deep, as long as it can be trapped by the horseshoes. The shovels for digging the pits were given by the Song army. I really don't know what the Song army wanted to do with so many shovels.
The shouts of killing were loud at the scene, and the Tachaer tribe took the lead in charging at the Jin soldiers and resisting the horse.
The Jin soldiers had only one level to resist the horses. More importantly, the Jin soldiers' archers did not dare to shoot at the Mongolian soldiers and could not stop the Mongolian soldiers from advancing. After the Mongolian soldiers shot down the Jin soldiers' archers with casualties, they easily got close and then jumped Dismounted, pushed away the horses one by one, and pushed away the baggage.
The Mongolian army quickly cleared a gap of more than 100 steps at the scene.
But behind the gap is an ant-like golden infantry formation.
One-fifth of the 10,000+ infantry battalions of the Jin soldiers are gathering here, while more than 2 cavalry are patrolling the outside to check the movements of the main force towing mines.
Tacha'er also gasped when he came out. The endless ant-like golden infantry battalions in front of him were endless.
The Mongolian army can't use any kites or tactics now. They can only break through by fighting a bloody road.
On the one hand, he ordered to continue to widen the gap between the two horses, and on the other hand, he ordered to kill them directly.
Soon Yan Zhu'er came to his side and said loudly: "Yike Nayan asked us to fight out at no cost. After we go out, we will divide into two groups and see if we can hit the rear of the Song Army and the Jin Army. If not, , go separately and meet in Ye County."
Tachaer nodded, and there was a meaning of breaking out of the encirclement.
At this time, Tuo Lei knew that the Song army carried artillery in the field, and he didn't want to get entangled with the Song army. There were artillery on the opposite side, and you wouldn't be able to sleep well at night. He had to get rid of the Song army as soon as possible.
"You are in the west and I am in the east." Tachaer finally said to Yanzhu'er. Each of them took one, one on the left and one on the right, and rushed towards the Jin soldiers.
There is a dense infantry camp in front of them. It is said that it is difficult to break out of this kind of cavalry charge.
However, the quality of the Jin soldiers was uneven. Among the various ministries, the defenders from Tongguan and the infantry battalions of the Zhongxiao Army were the most elite.
However, Zhang Hui's defense line was very long, and the Jin soldiers stationed here were neither the elite of the Zhongxiao Army nor the defenders of Tongguan.
The Jin soldiers in front were thrown into confusion by a hail of arrows from the Mongolian army. Then the Mongolian troops surged up, stabbing with swords and spears, and the Jin soldiers' infantry camp retreated step by step.
Zhang Hui was so anxious that he kept mobilizing his remaining generals and sending in elite troops. However, the people in front could not retreat for a while. Once he gave the order to retreat, it might lead to a collapse, and the encirclement that he had worked hard for all night would be completely useless. .
"Damn it, why not be as good as Song Jun? Hold on, hold on, go up, up, up." Zhang Hui kept looking up in front of him.
At this time, less than 2 Mongolian troops were put into the battlefield, and there were still more than [-] troops in Tuo Lei's hands. No one knew whether Tuo Lei would choose another place to break out, which left more soldiers and horses of the Jin army. Don't dare to act rashly and leave the defense line.
The tow mine on the opposite side is actually having a headache now.
He had seen the situation outside and knew that the Song army and Jin soldiers had surrounded them overnight.
It sounded like a lie, but now he couldn't laugh even if he wanted to.
Don't look at the way Jin Bing's defense line was made. There was only a row of horses, and some baggage carriages were randomly piled behind it. It seemed that they could be moved and moved away by just sending some people.
But in order to push away the baggage and resist the horses, many people will be killed or injured. After the dead and injured people fall to the ground, new obstacles will be formed, which will affect the breakthrough later.
There are a large number of golden infantry and cavalry waiting behind the key horse. Whichever way you rush to, more soldiers and horses will gather on that side.
"This must have been thought up by the Song people." The more Tuo Lei thought about it, the more he hated it, but he didn't want to fight against the Song people.
The Song people's archers were much stronger than the Jin people's, and their armor was heavy and thick, so they could shoot at each other. After fighting for a while at night, they came back with a disastrous defeat. Now during the day, he didn't want to fight the Song army.
Jin people are still easy to bully.
"Where should we fight?" Tuo Lei waved his hand and pointed to the east.
The generals looked and saw that the direction Tuo Lei was pointing was about two miles away from Tachaer's breakout point, and many golden soldiers within two miles of Tachaer were going to block Tachaer.
Everyone instantly understood what Tuo Lei meant.
"The forwards can abandon their horses, and when they go up, they push away the horses and other objects to make space for the cavalry to charge, without giving the golden soldiers a chance to gather."
The charging men rode over, and after being killed or wounded, the horses would also become an obstacle for the Mongolian troops behind.
So Tuo Lei chose [-] suicide squads and directly went up with heavy armor to push back horses and other items.
At this time, the sky was already slightly bright, and the sight of the scene was quite good. At least within a hundred steps, it was clear. Among the more than 2 Mongolian troops, they divided into five groups, each with thousands of troops, and rushed towards five different places. They were all golden soldiers. Line of defense.
Wanyan Heda yelled, why didn't the Mongolian army attack the Song army?But he knew that just after dark, the Mongolian army defeated the Song army's defense line, and they must have felt that their Jin soldiers were easy to bully.
Wanyan Heda was so angry that he had to gather troops everywhere to block the Mongolian army.
The Mongolian army suddenly launched an attack on the easternmost side, led by Sun Zhu, who led a thousand cavalry. When they reached a hundred paces, 500 people suddenly jumped off their horses, drove their horses to both sides, and then rushed forward with shields in hand.
"Kill." Under the cover of another [-] cavalry and cavalry shooters, the [-] Mongolian infantry rushed to the front of the Jin soldiers' formation. The Jin soldiers rained arrows. The Mongolian soldiers, despite their casualties, desperately moved away and resisted the horses. Soon A second opening is formed.
Wanyan Heda immediately realized that the other routes were all fake, but this was the real one.
When he gathered his troops and ran eastward, there was a roar of mountains and tsunamis in front of him, and then a large number of golden soldiers fled.
The Mongolian army easily killed the Jin soldiers at the front of the defense line, and the Mongolian cavalry rushed in like a tide.
"Let's go, let's go." Without saying a word, Wanyan Heda led Monk Wanyan Chen and others, and the [-] Jin soldiers rushed forward one after another.
Without saying a word, Tuo Lei ordered the rest of the troops, including the fake attackers, to all go to Hu Shengsun's side.
The Jin soldiers' defense line is about five miles long, and the farthest distance is four or five miles. Many Jin soldiers are also gathering here, but it obviously takes time.
The more the Mongolian army rushed, the wider the gap became. More than 2 Mongolian troops successively crossed the Jinbing defense line.
Outside were ant-like infantry and cavalry of the Jin soldiers. Wanyan Heda and other troops also arrived at the scene. The Jin soldiers, infantry and cavalry combined forces to block the Mongolian army. The two sides fell into a big battle. The Mongolian army rushed left and right, unstoppable, and the Jin soldiers suffered heavy casualties. , but fight to the death.
On the vast battlefield, Jin Meng's nearly 20 soldiers and horses were already fighting together at close range.
About ten miles away from here, Yu Jie and his general Yang Cheng were jogging towards this side on horseback.
A commander quickly came from afar: "The Jin soldiers' defense line is too poor and was broken by the Mongolian army. Most of the Mongolian army has come out from the east, and the Jin soldiers are blocking it. Wanyan Heda asked us to support."
Yang Cheng laughed: "Tou Lei is very cowardly. He chose the place furthest away from us to break out."
Yu Jie asked: "How many troops and horses are there on both sides?"
Control said: "At least 10 people."
"Are you sure?" Yu Jie asked.
"The general is sure." The commander said. The general climbed up and took a look. The Mongolian army was divided into two groups, one with about 2 people and the other with more than [-]. The two armies were about two miles apart, and they were on both sides of the Jin army. He broke through in one place and was blocked by Jin soldiers.
There are about [-] to [-] Jin soldiers blocking the Mongolian army, and the rest of the Jin soldiers are also going there to support, but the distance is a bit far, and it takes a while to run these few miles.
The main force of the tow mines is in the east. After coming out, try to rush westward, probably because they want to join forces with Tacha'er and Anzhu'er.
Yang Chengdao: "In half an hour, there will be 20 troops on site."
In half an hour at most, as long as the Jin soldiers are not defeated, all the Jin soldiers will surround them and block them. Together with the Mongolian army, the scene will be a melee of 20 people.
The Mongolian army's kiting tactics are completely useless now, and they can only fight their way out. Once they retreat and the Jin soldiers reorganize their defense line, there is really a danger of the entire army being annihilated.
You said that your Mongolian army can still rely on cavalry and move elsewhere to break out?But the Jin soldiers also have cavalry, and the Song army has not moved yet.
Moreover, Tuo Lei now rushed in to fight with the Jin soldiers. The biggest reason was to guard against the Song people's artillery.
He believed that Song and Jin were allied forces. If the Mongolian army broke through and fought with the Jin soldiers, the Song army's artillery would be useless.
Tuo Lei could see through people's hearts, but not the hearts of Song people.
When Yu Jie heard this, a strange smile appeared on his face, and then his face darkened: "Push all the artillery over here."
"Assemble the trebuchet and prepare the petroleum bombs."
Yang Cheng seemed to know something, with a smile on his face.
The commander's expression changed slightly: "Commander, are the Jin and Meng armies fighting together?"
"It would be better to kill them together." Yu Jie said, "What we have been waiting for is now."
"Hiss" The commander took a breath, with a look of disbelief on his face. Only then did he realize that his boss wanted to do something serious.
Yu Jie looked into the distance at this time and said deeply: "Almost the last 17 elite soldiers and horses of the Jin Kingdom are concentrated here."
"As long as they are defeated, the Kingdom of Jin will be ruined."
"As for the Mongolian army, haha." Yu Jie looked towards Gaoli, then towards Xixia, and then towards Shandong.
The Mongolian army has too much time to take care of itself, and Wo Kuotai must withdraw its troops.
Many generals who were following Yu Jie were extremely shocked. Only then did everyone realize that the Song Army was actually going to fight two, and at the most critical moment, they simultaneously defeated the Mongolian Army and the Jin Army.
It seems that no one has done this in the entire ancient history.
Yang Cheng, his confidant, was the only one who knew about this. He was also responsible for thousands of civilians digging pits and arranging horse ropes for several miles or even more than ten miles away from the battlefield to remove all Jinmeng's retreat routes and the roads that could be taken in all directions. They have blocked them all, and now they need time to let Jin Meng fight without deciding the outcome all morning.
This battle, regardless of success or failure, will go down in history, and Yang Cheng believes that this battle will definitely succeed, but after this battle, everyone in the world will know the insidiousness of the Song army and the shamelessness of the Song emperor Zhao Yurui.
"We can transport more horses and carriages from the western front and block them behind the Jin soldiers." Yang Cheng suggested in a low voice at this time.
The Mongolian army did not dare to rush from the western front, and many of the Song army's arrangements on the western front could be moved to the eastern front.
"Okay." Yu Jie nodded heavily, then raised his head and ordered: "Repay Wanyan Heda, our army will come immediately, let him withstand it."
