The struggle of the reborn prince

Wanyan Yuying's prediction was not much different from the actual situation. Shi Jianu encountered the Song Army just after they passed Zhaozhou City, but what they encountered was not the Song Army's small team of Rangers, but the Song Army's sneaking brigade.In the dark night, the Shi family slaves couldn't see the opponent's banner clearly, and they didn't expect the Song army to appear here. They thought it was the Zhaozhou army who cooperated with them in attacking the Song camp at night. It was only when the vanguards of the two teams came face to face. It was the enemy army, and the battle happened in a state of being caught off guard. The Jin army's vanguard was instantly knocked down by the Song army's intensive bullet rain.

Originally, he wanted to plot against others, but unexpectedly, he was plotted against by others. Even the first reaction of the Shi family slaves was to lie in ambush in the Nei Jin army, he didn't care to think about it and hurriedly ordered to fight.But because these people had just crossed the river on floating horses, the physical strength of the horses was very exhausted, and they were sent to the battlefield before they had time to rest.Therefore, in order to restore the horse's strength and hide its whereabouts, the soldiers led the horse on foot, and mounted the horse in a hurry to fight.

Now the distance between the two sides is getting closer, and it follows Wanyan Yuying's wish to restrain the enemy's firearms in close combat 3.s. When he got up, the cavalry of the Song Army had rushed forward.In cavalry combat, people use horsepower to increase their impact. The Song army immediately knocked them off their backs, rushed into them like a gust of wind, and slashed at the Jurchens who hadn't reacted yet.A scuffle broke out. The soldiers of the Jin army had already weakened a bit when they encountered an 'ambush', but they were already terrified when they found that the number of the Song army far exceeded them.In the chaos, they didn't know who would run away first. Anyway, if one escaped, there would be two escaped.The sneak attacking team began to break up, and in the darkness, Shi Jianu was also surrounded by soldiers and retreated.Before the play even started, the protagonists left in a hurry...

"Catch up. We must seize Shaliang and set up a defense line!" Jiang Wei saw the Jin army starting to retreat, but he did not give up the pursuit because of the darkness of the night, and his goal was also the road by the river that he discovered when he was exploring the city during the day. Sha Liang.

"Commander, the Zhaozhou Army wants to go out of the city!" Now that the fight has started, there is no need to pretend to be deep. Kaesong responds.

"Order the [-]th and [-]th Brigades to block with all their strength, that is, the Jin army in the city cannot be allowed to come out, and the rout troops cannot be allowed to enter. The [-]st, [-]nd, [-]rd, and [-]th Brigades will follow me to capture Shaliang to block the enemy brigade, and the heavy brigade will stay behind in the camp. The commander-in-chief reported a letter asking for reinforcements." Jiang Wei looked at the chaotic battlefield and the Jin army arriving one after another, and decided that his prediction was correct, the main battlefield was in Jiang'an, not Zhaozhou City, and he ordered again.Perhaps God no longer favors the dying Jurchen, and did not help Yan Kuying as much as he helped Aguda.Instead, he possessed Jiang Wei, allowing him to see through Wanyan Yuying's night attack plan in advance.After Jiang Wei figured it out, he didn't hesitate, he immediately summoned all the generals to discuss matters and ordered the whole army to prepare for war.Order the Fifth Brigade to move forward to monitor the Zhaozhou Army.He personally led the first brigade and the second brigade to search and advance in the direction of Jiang'an, and the remaining three brigades were used as a reserve team to reinforce the various ministries at any time after further identifying the enemy's intentions.

When the two armies meet.The Song army, which had already been prepared, defeated the Jin army in an instant. After Jiang Wei checked, he found that the number of the Jin army was not as large as expected.But these people's clothes and armor are still wet, and the horses are still covered with water.Then he understood that the enemy army had encountered trouble when crossing the river.These enemy troops are only the vanguard troops dispatched, and the army is still crossing the river and gathering.If you retreat back to the camp at this time, you are likely to be followed by the enemy troops who are arriving one after another. Once the melee starts, your firearms will not be able to exert their power, and the side with the superior force will eventually gain the upper hand.The main force of the army is still camping thirty miles away, and it will take half a day to go back and forth quickly, but I don't know how many troops the enemy will eventually invest.

Based on the above judgments, Jiang Wei believes that it is the best policy to block the incoming enemy brigade on the river bank, which is much more beneficial than passive defense.And the sand beam by the river is the only commanding height here, and it is also the best position to block the enemy.Therefore, his and Wanyan Yuying's judgments coincided with each other. Whoever occupied and controlled Shaliang would gain the initiative in this battle, and be invincible first...

The sand beams stretch across the north bank of the Huntong River, which may be formed by wind-blown sand for many years, or may be the relics left after the flood that occurred in an unknown year.The sand beams are undulating, with the highest point being five feet and the lowest point being two feet, stretching for several miles, with a flat top, forming a platform with a width of more than a hundred paces, on which only weeds and low shrubs grow.The platform forms gentle slopes on both sides, and the south side is a shoal, which is suitable for soldiers and horses to swim and land on the shore. It was here that Aguda led his troops across the river on ice and snow, and Wanyan Yuying followed the steps of his predecessors. Here again the Footsteps came ashore to attack the Jurchens' greatest enemy.

Pu Cha led the troops to board Shaliang and couldn't help but gasp. He saw countless torches flickering in the north, rushing towards them, and the gunshots were much denser than before.In such a situation, you don't need to ask, but you know that your side who went to sneak attack was defeated by the Song army and retreated.He hastily ordered the soldiers and horses of his headquarters to line up on Shaliang to wait for the Song army to approach, and then condescendingly launched a counterattack against the Song army, and ordered a group of soldiers to go out and lead the rout to escape to the two wings, so as not to overwhelm the defense line he had arranged. Command the army to report the enemy's situation and make preparations for it.

The measures Pucha took can be said to be appropriate, effective, and thoughtful, but he overlooked one problem, that is, the mood of the defeated soldiers.These people were chased and killed by the Song army for a while after they were "in ambush", and the only thing left in their minds was the idea of ​​running for their lives, and the safest place was of course the landing point on the shore, where tens of thousands of troops came to meet them.So they didn't hear the shouts of the responders sent by Pucha at all, they rushed them aside and rushed to the sand hill, they only knew that they would be safe after crossing Shaliang.

The rout soldiers swarmed up, Pucha was in a dilemma, he couldn't block it, and he couldn't block it, but before he could figure out how to deal with it, the line of defense he had set up had already been broken.There was only such a small place on the top of Shaliang, after such a toss, even Pucha's people were dragged down, and the Song army rushed up with a clear purpose, and the weak defense line of the Jin army was broken in an instant.Fortunately, there were so many people on the top, it was very difficult for Song Jun to go forward. After a while of chaos, most of the people were able to retreat to the open space on the bank, but Shaliang was also completely controlled by Song Jun.

"Don't pursue the first and second brigades, and immediately deploy to both sides to build fortification defenses on the spot; the third and fourth brigades control the two wings and prevent the enemy from roundabout and outflanking." Jiang Wei followed the first wave of chasing troops and rushed up the sand hill. As far as the eye can see, there are wriggling men and horses on the river bank and shallows. He hastily ordered to stop the pursuit. If he rushes down like this, he will only fall into the enemy group. devour.

Dragoons are cavalry when they mount their horses, and infantry when they dismount. After receiving the order, they dismount immediately to control the commanding heights, and use everything available to build simple fortifications. The corpses of enemy soldiers and their own rucksacks have become available materials. , Soon a blocking line consisting of individual bunkers appeared on the sand beam.However, limited by the terrain, the depth of the position is too shallow, which makes this line of defense extremely thin. Without the support of heavy weapons, it only takes a dozen breaths for the cavalry to launch an impact outside the range. It is likely to charge several times in a dense formation. Continuous impact will break down the line of defense...

After listening to Shi Jianu's report about her encounter with the Song army, Wanyan Kuiying secretly sighed that God would not help her.But now it is impossible to give up the attack and go back to the south bank. The distance between Shagang and Huntong River is [-] to [-] steps. Tens of thousands of people gather in this narrow strip, and it is difficult to maneuver. If the Song army pursues, it will cause even greater chaos. Phase trampling losses are heavier.Although it is a taboo for military strategists to fight against the water, it is not without turning point when one's own forces are superior.

So Wanyan Kuoying immediately ordered all the troops that came ashore to take advantage of the fact that the enemy had just launched, and when the foothold was not stable, he launched a counterattack across the board to recapture Shaliang.At the same time, he also hoped that when the Zhaozhou Army found out that the situation had changed, it would send troops to attack from the side and rear, disrupt the Song Army's position, and increase the odds of winning for its counterattack.

The Jin army counterattacked quickly and violently. Several teams of cavalry attacked Shaliang from several positions. The sound of horseshoes, shouts of killing, the sound of surging water and the sound of guns instantly broke the silence of this land for more than 30 years.The golden army rode their horses like flying, their bodies clinging to their backs, and bullets poured towards them like locusts. Although some people were constantly shot and fell off their horses, they had no time to take care of them and just kept knocking on the horse's belly to make the speed a little faster. They all understand that they are safe only if they rush into the Song Army's formation.

At this time, fierce gunshots continued to come from Zhaozhou City. The Jin army in the city had realized that the sneak attack had failed, and the main force was suppressed by the Song army on the river beach.Only by inserting a knife from the back of the Song army can the plan of gathering and annihilating the enemy's forwards be implemented. This is not only helping the army to finish Yan Kuying, but also saving themselves.Once the whole plan fails and the army retreats to the south of the Yangtze River, Song Jun will deal with them first and pull out the nail in his own eyes.

But when the Zhaozhou army came out from the north gate, it was immediately blocked. The Song army had already deployed troops outside the moat, and as soon as they went out, they opened fire and blocked the city gate together. Anyone who wanted to go out would be killed first.The Zhaozhou defender who left dozens of corpses and returned to the city was really smart. He wanted to go around to other city gates and leave the city, but he suffered the same result.The quick-witted Zhaozhou army actually figured out a way to get down the city with a rope. They threw the rope from the city and let the soldiers climb down, but they didn't know that they became living targets hanging on the city wall under the light of the torches at the top of the city. , the operation out of the city was easily crushed by Song Jun again...
