The struggle of the reborn prince

The battle by the mixed river was like a movement without a prelude, reaching a climax from the very beginning.Both armies knew that whoever occupied Shaliang would have the initiative in the battle, so the battle soon became fierce. The Jin army launched an uninterrupted charge. They ignored the dense bullet rain and feared death, wave after wave. Rush to Shaliang.Song Jun didn't show any weakness in the face of the nearly crazy Jin Jun, and poured the bullets from the gun on them mercilessly.

"How about the Second Brigade?" The lion general's command post was set up on the high platform above the sand beam. The dust stirred up by the horseshoes and the gunpowder smoke from the guns blocked the hazy moonlight. Jiang Wei asked in a deep voice. .

"Commander, the Second Brigade is also very fierce. If we hadn't occupied Shaliang, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to stop the Jurchen's charge. The lances usually only have time to shoot three or four bullets, and the enemy has already rushed to Manpo. Some enemy troops even went to the battlefield." A Yuhou who had just returned from his patrol replied.

"The first brigade also fought hard. The reserve team has already pressed up, and a position was breached. Shi Tong led his own troops to fight back to suppress the Jin army." Another Yu Hou said. road.

"Why haven't the artillery battalions of the brigades arrived yet, and the artillery battalions directly under them haven't arrived yet. What's going on?" Jiang Wei asked with a frown. "Has the Zhaozhou Army made any moves?" Jiang Wei asked, staring at the battlefield.

"The Zhaozhou army was repulsed several times when they went out of the city, and now they are trapped in the city, and the two brigades have recruited suspicious soldiers. They have made an attack on the city, and they dare not move anymore."

"Well. They were free, and ordered the sixth brigade to hand over the task to the fifth brigade. Let them rush here to act as a reserve team, and at the same time tell the fifth brigade that they don't want to wipe out the enemy, as long as they block them in the city, it will be a great achievement." Jiang Wei at first Taking the Zhaozhou army as a strong enemy, I didn't expect to be blocked in the city. It would be a waste to use two brigades to watch them.But here the fighting was fierce, without a reserve team in hand, Jiang Wei always felt that he had no idea.

"Controlling, the two wings are very calm now, should we draw some troops from there to act as a reserve team? If the Zhaozhou Army rushes out of the city, it will pose a great threat to our rear." A Yuhou suggested.

"Now at the beginning of the war. The Jurchens think they can break through from the front, but once they are unable to attack, they will find another way out and attack our two wings. We must not send a single soldier from them. The 3000 people in Zhaozhou It is more than enough to deal with 5000 people, if one is released, I will kill him first!" Jiang Wei said with a glare, but Yu Hou didn't dare to say it, and hurriedly ordered someone to deploy troops.Don't allow Jiang Wei to think too much, the battle started again.The Jin army showed bravery in these years of war.The soaring blood and the piled corpses did not scare them off, but aroused their bloodiness.Teams of people rushed up like a whirlwind.Within [-] steps, he opened his bow and released arrows, disrupting the Song army with a dense rain of arrows, those in front fell, and those behind followed, pushing forward with difficulty at the cost of countless lives.

The lion general is a veteran force of the New Song Army. It existed when the emperor founded the army. He participated in all the wars against Xixia and Jurchen, and he is also known for his courage to fight tough battles.It goes without saying that Jiang Wei was a high-ranking military officer who followed the emperor from a young soldier. Even the low-level military officers in the army are mostly veterans with actual combat experience.Although this battle was fought in a hurry, and there were only temporary and simple fortifications, they did not panic in the face of such a crazy attack by the enemy. All the officers sank to the front of the position to command the battle.

At the beginning, Zhao Tuo formed a new army for the purpose of fighting against nomadic cavalry. Dragon cavalry, as a unit that combines both horse and horse, has always been the main force in the army, and lion generals are also one of the four armies that did not use mixed cavalry in the Song army.Therefore, they can be said to be experienced in dealing with cavalry. Although the artillery is not in place yet, they are also fighting vigorously.As the first brigade and the second brigade, which are the main force to block the enemy's forces, they are divided into two groups, the north and the south, and divide the defense area.The brigade then uses battalions as units to allocate combat areas, and then decomposes into capitals, teams, and gangs layer by layer, with reserve teams at all levels.

In the absence of artillery support, machine guns have become the main fire support weapon. Their position layout is based on machine guns to form a cross-fire network. Each team can cover each other and provide support. The firepower network blocks the enemy's offensive route, and the machine gun team directly under the general and brigade is used to strengthen the firepower of the main defense area.

At night when the visual conditions are not good, it is very difficult for the renzhu gun to hit the target accurately. Even if it hits the target with a single shot, as long as it does not hurt the vitals, the enemy will still have a certain combat effectiveness.Therefore, the gunners often use the method of concentrated fire to shoot at the cavalry, and rely on increasing the density of firepower to cause serious casualties to the enemy's horses and make them lose their combat effectiveness in an instant. When charging in a dense formation, they often lose sight of the other, especially when the defense line is weak, killing one and letting the other go.

In addition, another sharp weapon used by the soldiers of the Song Army is the "porcelain tribulus". This weapon has already been used. At the beginning, because the power of the black powder used was small, in order to ensure its power, it was made relatively large and inconvenient to carry. Later, it was only equipped for rifles. The army is used to defend the city and is not widely equipped.Now that the new type of gunpowder is put into actual combat, it can make porcelain tribulus slim down without losing its power, and become a general-purpose weapon for infantry and cavalry.

Under the impact of the Jin army's fearless death, the lion general's defense line was also broken through several times, and the enemy was expelled after a fierce fight.However, another dangerous situation occurred in a position of the first brigade. This sand beam was low, and another landslide occurred. There was only a depression of more than 20 feet long and less than [-] steps wide. Due to terrain restrictions, it was impossible to arrange more The strength of the troops can only be held by the fire support provided by the positions on both sides.

After several attacks, the Jin army also discovered the weak area of ​​the Song army's defense line. They dispatched a thousand-man team to attack repeatedly. Fault.When the firepower stopped, the charging Jin army seized the opportunity and rushed to the Song army's position.The lion generals in the defensive position, the first brigade, the fourth battalion, the first team, and the first team all had no time to draw out their swords and went up to them. After running out of bullets, they fought the enemy with empty guns. Under the hooves of real people.

The cavalry of the Golden Army brigade swarmed up and crossed Shaliang from the gap, Wanyan Yuying finally got the chance, and ordered the fine cavalry who had been on standby to charge towards the breakthrough.While rushing to Shaliang to expand the breakthrough, the Jin army crossed Shaliang and rushed inward, trying to defeat the Song army on Shaliang, thus regaining the initiative in the battle.

The situation suddenly became tense. Shi Zhongxin, who was in charge of the first brigade, knew that the gap must be sealed. Now behind Shaliang, there were only a small number of soldiers guarding the horses. The sixth brigade was still on its way. Powerless.After the Jin army was able to break through, the Fifth Brigade could hardly block the Zhaozhou army under internal and external attacks, and the Song army had to face a situation of collapse across the board.But Shi Zhongxin was still calm, knowing that the most urgent task was to prevent the enemy from expanding the breakthrough and block the Jin army behind.In that way, even if a small number of enemy troops rush through the blocking line, it will not do much like water without a source.

Shi Zhongxin gathered all the mobilizable personnel of the first brigade to pounce on the breakthrough. He fought very cleverly and did not meet the enemy from the front, but chose to squeeze into it from both ends of the Shaliang.Because he knew that the infantry could not stop the galloping cavalry without forming an array. If they did it forcefully, not only would they not be able to block the breakthrough, but they would also cause great casualties.

While Shi Zhongxin strengthened the firepower to block the passage, he asked some soldiers to throw 'porcelain caltrops'. After this thing explodes, the flying shrapnel can penetrate ordinary iron armor and cause damage to people and objects within a ten-step radius.And the loud noise produced will also frighten the war horse and do some incredible things.

"Boom, boom..." The dragon riders condescended to throw the porcelain thorns at the enemy group pouring in from the depression.The golden soldiers who came from the floating ferry were all wearing leather armor to reduce their load, which couldn't stop the flying shrapnel at all, and they all fell off their horses amidst the sound of explosions.Not to mention the war horses, the shrapnel directly penetrated their flesh and blood, broke their limbs, and the loud noises in their ears also made them terrified.

Especially those war horses that lost their master's appeasement were already made manic and restless, let alone do it now, turned around and ran back.The hollow was lively, and the angry horses inevitably collided with the companions behind. They fell to the ground and were stepped on countless hooves, but their temporary struggle also caused more companions to fall to the ground. I went to accompany myself on the road.

The Jin army trampling on each other caused the already narrow breakthrough to be congested, and the follow-up horses continued to pour in, resulting in a series of rear-end collision accidents. The Song army took the opportunity to increase its firepower to block and shoot at the enemy behind. Squeezing down, a flurry of guns and knives and axes finally calmed down the scene of the accident, and the piled up corpses of golden soldiers and horses almost filled the depression, which was at the same height as the platforms on both sides...
