The struggle of the reborn prince

Pu San Zhongyi knew that retreat in military operations has always been difficult to organize. If the command and control are not proper, the purpose of retreat is easily misinterpreted and confused.Due to the lack of effective organization of the Jin army at the beginning, although the avant-garde and rear guard were arranged under Wanyan Yulie's suggestion, the flanks were very weak, and there was no other troops to cover them. Under the pursuit of the Song army, the Jin army marched. Columns are starting to crack.

This was exactly the opportunity the Song Army was looking forward to. The dragon riders who were cruising side by side on the two wings of the Jin Army rushed into the formation quickly, making it a mess, and they took the opportunity to separate and annihilate the enemy troops on the outer edge.However, there were large gaps in the marching ranks of the Jin army, and the Song army inserted a strong force to cut them apart.The following Song army was like a wolf chasing a huge herd, launching an assault to tear off a piece of 'meat' whenever there was a chance.

Pu San Zhongyi knew that if things went on like this, they would have to be smashed to pieces by the Song army before they could reach the river.In desperation, he hurriedly ordered the troops to turn around to meet the enemy. This move should have the possibility of turning defeat into victory before the main force of the Song army gathered.However, at this time, the morale of the Jin army was completely gone, and escaping across the river was their only way of life. The chaos of the Chinese army also allowed the Song army to see another opportunity. The troops in the rear were slashed and killed by the Song army's dragoons, and suffered heavy losses.

At noon at that time, when the troops of the Song Army brigade who received the order continued to arrive, the Jin Army, which had lost hope of victory and cohesion, became even more flustered. Instinct made them rush forward desperately, which caused the weak wings of the Golden Army Brigade to collapse after losing their guards. The situation will be temporarily stabilized.

The Jin army staggered forward under the constant harassment of the Song army, and finally came to the riverside with the help of the former army in the afternoon.Pu San Zhongyi mounted a high ground on his horse and looked around. Under the command of Wanyan Yulie, the former army used an earthen beam about four miles long to set up a defense line against the river, but the defense depth was less than three miles, more than [-] soldiers. People are trapped in this small place, and it is difficult to maneuver.

The Song army chasing them outside the Land of Three Arrows also lined up, constantly adjusting their formation amidst their unique bleak bugle sounds, and the smoke and dust rising in the distance showed that the Song army was still approaching here.The rangers of the Song Army frequently stepped forward to try to take the opportunity to attack, but they were all shot back by the archers arranged on the earth beam.Pu San Zhongyi knew that the Song army was testing the defense line, looking for weaknesses, and might attack their fragile defense line at any time.

"Marshal, you take the lead to cross the river first, it will be too late when the Song Army brigade gathers together!" This was Wanyan Yulie who rode his horse and came to Pusan ​​Zhongyi and said.

"No, if the commander-in-chief moves, the morale of the army will be slackened, and the Song army will take the opportunity to launch a general attack, and no one will be able to leave at that time!" Pu San Zhongyi shook his head and said, he looked at the grey-haired man with a dusty face The veteran felt sore.

To be honest, Pu San Zhongyi didn't have a good impression of Wanyan Yulie and these veterans, especially when they boasted in front of him that they followed the Taizu to destroy the Liao Dynasty and attacked the Song Dynasty, and pointed at him with the tone of their predecessors. , I feel that they are putting on old status with me, and laughing at myself as a young child.However, I have always kept them at a respectful distance, and arranged some errands for them, but the veterans felt that I disrespected them, so the two sides were not in harmony.

What Pu San Zhongyi didn't expect was that after the outbreak of the war, Wanyan Yulie would let go of the grievances between the two sides, try his best to lead the army to fight, and let himself go first in times of crisis.Under such circumstances, everyone knows that staying behind is no different from seeking death. The boundary trench that has been in operation for many years cannot stop the Song army, let alone the low earth beam in front of us. I am afraid that it will not last until dark.

"It's very simple. The last general is here to lure the enemy with false flags. Just lead the troops across the river." Wanyan Yulie said with a smile, smoothing his beard.

"Old general, this defeat was all caused by my commander killing the Tatars without heeding my dissuasion. This has hurt the army and failed the grand master's painstaking efforts. Now I have no face to cross the river to escape first, so I will let my commander cut off the rear." To atone for previous sins." Pu San Zhongyi shook his head and said guiltily.

"Zhao Er has long wanted to kill me. Even if there is no Tatar people, he will find excuses. The commander-in-chief doesn't have to worry about it. It is a big deal to keep a useful body and preserve the foundation. The end general is old and useless, It is difficult to contribute to the country, but the commander-in-chief can still assist the grand master and His Majesty in fighting the invasion of the Southern Dynasty, please go first!" Wanyan Yulie said.

"You don't need to persuade the general anymore. This commander owes the great trust of His Majesty and the Grand Master. If you lose your troops, you will lose thousands of miles, and you will have no face before returning to Beijing to face the saint!" Pu San Zhongyi waved his hands, "Now the remnants of the army are only my bodyguards and the army who still have one battle left. However, their armor is too heavy to cross the river on horseback, and it is difficult to break out of the encirclement. Now that the artillery army of the Song Army has not yet arrived, the general will lead the army across the river quickly, otherwise we will all be buried here."

"Commander...the commander-in-chief forgives the disrespect of the last general. The three armies cannot be without a commander. The Dajin Kingdom cannot have no successors, so let the last general be loyal to the country. You lead the commander-in-chief first." Wanyan Yulie felt hot in his heart. , this young man still has the blood of Jurchen, it would be a pity if he died here, he suddenly reached out and snatched the handsome flag from the flag officer standing beside Pu San Zhongyi and said loudly.

"Here... take care, general!" The loyal and loyal soldiers surrounded him and walked towards the river. He tried his best to turn his head and shouted at Wan Yan Yulie. The token of his pro-military was thrown to him.

The guard army is the emperor's personal guard army. In the Kingdom of Jin, only the prince who leads the army and the general who sits on one side can be assigned. They are all composed of Jurchens. The men and horses wear heavy armor. They are not afraid of bows and arrows. They are powerful in combat. Elite troops often come to battle at the most critical and critical times.In the battle with the Song army for the boundary trench, due to terrain restrictions and fear of the fierce artillery fire of the Song army, Pu San Zhongyi never sent the trump card in his hand into battle, so he did not suffer any losses, and his combat effectiveness remained intact. The only unit that can still fight against the Song Army.

After Wanyan Yulie was ordered to move [-] guards forward quietly, [-] iron floats were placed on the front, and [-] cavalry archers were placed on the two wings.His intention is very clear, to prevent the Song army from breaking through the two wings with archers, to block the enemy's frontal attack with iron floats, to prevent them from invading the ferry, and to cover the entire army from crossing the river...

Of course, every move of the Jin army by the river cannot escape the eyes of the Song army. Now their advance team has launched a test, and most of them have begun to gather at the ferry to prepare for launching, and a Jin army arrayed on the earth beam is obviously for stop their attack.According to the plan in advance, after the Song army discovered the Jin army, it was best to divide and encircle them during the pursuit. If they could not be completed, they would be squeezed and surrounded by the river, and then bombarded with artillery to gather and annihilate them by the Yazi River.

However, due to the rapid movement of the Jin army and the dispersal of various ministries, the small troops could not complete the plan to wipe out the enemy on the way.But now the enemy is surrounded, but because the infantry, artillery and command headquarters are left far behind by rushing all the way, they cannot reach the battlefield in time.The military situation was on fire, and according to the battle regulations of the Song Army, if the supreme commander was unable to command the battle, the highest rank on the scene would automatically take over. Zheng Ping, the governor of Dading, became the commander-in-chief of the front line.

From the banner, Zheng Ping saw that the guards of the Jin Army Youshuai's Mansion were in charge of blocking the attack. Of course, he knew the combat characteristics of this army and had fought against them.After many losses in battles with the Song army, it also carried out reforms. The men and horses were replaced with thicker armor, so that even the bead gun could not penetrate it from the front, and only artillery and machine guns could cause damage to them.And his usual long knife was also replaced with a long spear and a big halberd to increase the lethality in the hedge and break through the stone wall charge that the Song army used to.

Therefore, only the hussars in the Song army could confront Tie Futu head-on.In order to annihilate them that day, Zhao Li specially sent dragon generals to attack Changchun Prefecture to attract reinforcements, and then annihilated them, but failed because Pu San Zhongyi insisted on first aiding Jiehao defense line.At this moment, the cavalry in Zheng Ping's hands are all dragoons. To defeat Tie Futu without artillery support, he can only implement the tactics of crowds, relying on uninterrupted charges to consume his stamina and strength. fill.

Although the strength of the Song army could withstand consumption, Zheng Ping would not do so, because he was afraid that the emperor who had always been 'stingy' would pull out his skin afterwards.Furthermore, when they defeated Tie Futu, most of the Jin army had already crossed the Yazi River and escaped.Fortunately, in the "Breakthrough" military exercise the year before last, the emperor, as an imaginary enemy, used the iron floating map to fight against the dragoons, giving Zheng Ping a bad look, forcing him to study new tactics on how to fight against the iron floating map without artillery support. It's time to test whether it works.

"Order the Lion Wing and Dragon Wing armies to attack from the side and wait for an opportunity to break through the enemy's defensive circle; order the Krupp army to form an array and attack the enemy from the front!" Zheng Ping calmly issued the combat order, and the messenger sent the order on the trumpet. At the same time, the horses were dispatched to the various ministries to deliver orders. For a while, signal flares flew in the air, and the horns of the various ministries fluctuated to adjust their positions according to the orders.

The three dragonriding brigades of the Krupp army on the front quickly discharged the 'Stone Wall Formation' and divided them into three groups.The first brigade as the vanguard began to slowly speed up and prepare to charge, while the Tiefutu of the Jin Army on the opposite side also lined up and rushed down the earth beam to meet the enemy.The sound of hooves was chaotic, and the two armies were accelerating. When the distance between the two armies was about 1152 steps, several gaps suddenly opened in the formation of the Song army. Between...r[-]
