Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 666 An Embarrassing Battle

Jingdong is full of battle clouds, and Yanhuai is no less inferior. The troops in front of the palace and the Jin army are inextricably killed, and the water village is still in the hands of the [-]th brigade.

Although the Eleventh Brigade suffered heavy losses, with the cooperation of the navy, it still did not lose its combat effectiveness.

The bodyguard water army, Huaishui Zhongli Dazhai, has the establishment of the Control Department. Although it has only 3000 people, it is also subordinate to the Jianghuai system of the bodyguard water army.

However, even if they are neglected troops, they are still well equipped, with the best god arm bows, and there are six reinforced bed crossbows in Dazhai.It was originally intended to be used on large river ships, but most of the funds were used on sea ships. This batch of powerful bows and crossbows were left in the Shuizhai Camp, but they were not expected to be used by the Eleventh Brigade.

The six reinforced bed crossbows are nothing to play with, coupled with the special giant arrow firearm, it is indeed a great weapon for killing people.

Li Qiong tried his best and kept urging the cannon fodder to come forward bravely, but he still couldn't break through the solid wall built of earth and rocks. On the contrary, Bu Bazi lost the courage to fight to the death under the heavy casualties, and even refused to go to the battlefield by force.

Can go to the battlefield!Not to mention the wall, even the ditches surrounding the wall gave the defenders enough time to break up their offensive and cause unbearable casualties.

Although these people were forced into desperation by the brutal Jurchen supervision, their power of resistance was enormous. Hundreds of people rioted directly on the battlefield, beheaded the Jurchen supervisor, and all defected to the Song army water village.

The defection of these people strengthened the strength of the stockade and weakened the combat effectiveness of the Jin army.The soldiers of the Jin Army were besieged under the fortified city, not to mention the soldiers of the Han Army, even the Jurchen soldiers were exhausted. Everyone had already made enough money, and no one wanted to fight south. They lost their lives for nothing, just like facing a meat grinder The stronghold, they completely lost the desire to fight.

As a result, Gao Ping in Zhongli City recovered from the initial panic, and began to command the Gongsheng Army to attack continuously out of the city, and once even almost broke Li Qiong's camp. .

It's a miracle that Zhongli County and the guard navy Zhongli Dazhai wanted to be each other's horns, but insisted on coming.

"Gong Shengjun really deserves its reputation, and Gao Ping is not in vain!" Wu Shu leaned on the seat of the tent commander, and looked coldly at He Lusuo, Li Qiong, Wuyan Puluhun, and Da Zhan who were sitting under the tent. Waiting for someone, he understood that it was time to end the war.

The battle was urgent, and the Jin army had already crossed the river one after another, but they continued to move south, waiting for an opportunity to seize Chuzhou and threaten to move forward, which could be regarded as a thunderous blow before the end.

However, the four thousand native horse troops must not give up. They still have to withdraw, so they need a strong response.Zhongli is a big city on the Huai River, if it is not taken down, it will definitely threaten him to take over the troops going south, and it may lead to the annihilation of the four thousand elite.

It's a pity that they don't have heavy siege equipment. Even if they are fierce generals, the Jurchen soldiers are extremely fierce, and the Han army has a lot of cannon fodder, they can't take the city in a short time.

"It seems that I have overlooked a problem. In the past, every time we went to battle, our army would outflank the army formation with two-wing cavalry. However, the waterways in the south of the Yangtze River are not conducive to the cavalry galloping, and the climate is not suitable. Our army ran long distances, without luggage. It would be impossible to capture Shenhao, an important town in the Southern Dynasties, and their reinforcements are about to arrive."

The [-] cavalry of Shu Lie Su and Lu Lu Bu was a severe blow to the Second Army of Longwei Shenwei, but they were also elite soldiers, and they quickly realized that the two sides fought a fierce battle.

The two brigades of Longwei and Shenwei formed a dense army formation, resisting the impact of the Jin army again and again, and they were always standing still, which made people really helpless. The Song Army was no longer the Song Army of the past, and even the Sijun in front of the palace, which was unbearable in a single battle, had become extremely powerful.

After a few rounds, the Jin army didn't take much advantage, so they had to end the battle and wait for an opportunity to intersperse the movement again.

On the contrary, as the main force of the Jin army was about to withdraw to the north, the Dianqian Division of the Song Army and the local soldiers of various military prefectures and townships also gathered in Chuzhou one after another, with a force of about 5 people. No hope of advancing.

Li Qiong could see the root cause, and vaguely felt that Wushu seemed to have plans to stop the southern expedition. Although he was not sure, the main force of the Jin army's hurricane to the south had obviously stopped, and it seemed that it was a bit unable to advance.

Even if you broke through Huai Shang, forcibly passed through the formation of 5 people, and reached Dajiang, so what?It's not about delivering food.

He Lusuo came to his spirits, attacking cities and seizing villages is not his specialty, and leading horse troops to gallop in the field is his specialty. He clasped his fists and said: "Mr. Lang, the general is willing to lead [-] cavalry to the front line of Chuzhou to kill all these soldiers." Help the barbarians."

Wushu smiled noncommittally, he pressed his hands to signal Helusuo to stop, and said in a deep voice: "The southward march still needs to be carried out, well, just read the Tang newspaper that just came in!" After finishing speaking, he pointed Pointing to the three-point Tang text on the table, the guard stepped forward to pick it up and sent them to everyone.

After everyone circulated it, their faces looked very gloomy, and a heavy and oppressive atmosphere rose in the big tent.

As a general, Li Qiong was very happy and uneasy when she saw the pond newspaper that only Temu Bojin could see for the first time.The happy thing is that I have been recognized, but the worrying thing is that things on the Guantang at this time are often not good things.

Sure enough, the Tang newspaper from the west of Beijing, Tarlan led the army to make a tentative attack, but was repelled by the Song army.The reason why the 5000 Jin army was worshiped unexpectedly was that Zhang Rong, known as the "enemy of [-] people", led [-] people as a forward by the bandits from Liangshan. He won three battles and three victories. More than [-] people entered the northern border of Huaizhou.

I have been going south to beat people all the year round, but this time it is fine, not only let people beat my head and flatten me, but also be beaten into my own territory by others, it is really embarrassing to the extreme.

Jingdong’s emergency report was even more frightening. Wang De, Liu Qi, Guan Sheng and others gathered in Xuzhou.What is another fight?That is to say, they suffered a disastrous defeat and had to bite the bullet and fight again. Once the battle of Xuzhou failed, the Southern Conscripts would be in an embarrassing situation.

The most astonishing news is that the Song Army fleet attacked Xinqiao Town, Luanzhou, and the Jin Army’s newly built naval ships and water army were wiped out. The high-end configuration of the ship team made him jealous, and the destruction of the Jin Army navy was definitely a great blow to the Jurchens.

Thinking of Wushu's words, Li Qiong suddenly understood that it seemed that the Nanzheng was really coming to an end, but he just said it directly because of his embarrassment.

Thinking about it, it is quite embarrassing for the commander-in-chief to decide to retreat rashly after he has penetrated deep into the hinterland of the Song Dynasty.
