Chapter 156 Victory
Under such a disadvantage, Tiefutu is worthy of being the most powerful Jurchen soldier. Although the front team was smashed by the sword formation of the Song army's Mo Dao Hand, Tiefutu continued to continue. Relying on the advantage of the cavalry, he tried his best to use the cavalry holding long weapons to step forward and have a desperate showdown with the heavy armored warriors of the Song army who were oppressed.
The swords and guns fought to the death, on one side were black iron cavalry monsters, and on the other side were red heavy armored warriors. The knights from the white mountains and black waters all fell to the ground and died. The last thought in their minds was still hard to believe that the Song people, who had always been weak, could compete with the powerful Jin Jurchen cavalry on the front battlefield with a dignified army. With the men's blood, skillful and sophisticated martial arts, the thicker and stronger armor stomach, and the sharper and more powerful weapons, the Jurchens were unable to fight back.
There were only more than 3,000 Tiefutu, and there were many casualties and injuries when rushing to the chariot formation. Under the attack of more than 20,000 heavy infantry of the Song army, they were already defeated and had no power to fight back. The one who supported the formation of Tiefutu was not messy was just the pride of the elite soldiers in the world, and the strong nerves that the Jurchens fought in the world. Even if the comrades in the front team were killed one after another, the blood sprayed out actually formed a faint blood mist under the scorching sun. Often, several heavy infantry of the Song army strangled one Tiefutu, and when the opponent had no power to fight back, the Jurchen knights were dismantled.
It can be said that the Song army was confident in the development of the current battle, but the Jurchen side was shocked and could not believe the facts in front of them.
Since the day of the reign of the army, two thousand people defeated 20,000 Liao soldiers and infantry cavalry, and almost no casualties were found in the Jurchen cavalry. Later, 20,000 defeated the powerful soldiers of the Liao Dynasty, which created a myth in military history.
And it is such a strong soldier, which is said to be invincible. At this moment, the overall strength is far greater than that of the Song army, and on the plain battlefield, the most advantageous terrain of the cavalry charging, it was repeatedly frustrated. First, it was beaten by a small number of cavalrymen in Beiwei. Then the heavily armored cavalry of Tiefutu was blocked before the solid chariot formation. It was again frustrated. When the enemy's main infantry attacked, the Tiefutu cavalry, who was claimed to be able to fight back, did not even have the qualifications to fight back. The powerful cavalry used to retreat again and again, were actually facing the embarrassment of being surrounded and strangled by the enemy.
Wanyan Zongbi looked pale, watching the earth-strength soldiers who had been carefully built for many years were trapped in the enemy's subway infantry formation, fighting hard, but they were no match at all.
The Jurchen generals around him had long been anxious and asked for battle. Tiefutu was not just Zong Bi's army, but the Jurchen clan. They spent Nuoyao's efforts and energy, countless financial and material resources to build. What's more important is that armor, weapons and war horses are easy to obtain, but the powerful warriors who have been through many battles cannot be bought with money. Before Tiefutu's entire army was destroyed, they must be rescued so that they can avoid greater losses.
Zong Bi also knew the reason, and no longer hesitated. He raised his right hand high, and a personal soldier rushed forward and asked, "What are the commands of the marshal?"
"I ordered Xia Jinwu to lead the kidnapped horse to attack the enemy's left wing. Be sure to do your best to fight to the death."
The personal soldiers took the order. Not long after, the sound of horse hooves behind Zongbi sounded like thunder, and more than 3,000 cavalry teams immediately dispatched. Under Zongbi's son-in-law Xia Jinwu Wanhu, they galloped towards the left wing of the Song army.
At this time, he could no longer preserve his strength. The so-called Diguaizima was Zong Bi's own personal guard. In the army, the elite cavalry that could be compared with Tiefumi, and the reserve team at the most critical moment. He was best at encircling two wings and disrupting the enemy's formation. After years of war, the Guaizima made great achievements, which scared the Song people the most. Later generations rumored that he used a knife to break the Guaizima. Although the rumors were illusory fabrication, it also indirectly showed how terrifying and difficult this elite cavalry was in the eyes of the Song people.
Seeing Xia Jinwu taking the Guaizima to attack the enemy's left wing, he ordered Zongxian to take five thousand cavalry and join the Guaizima to join forces to attack the Iron Man infantry who was killing and slashing wildly and chasing the iron-man infantry.
In this way, Zong Bi's elite troops were all out, and even the original reserve cavalry sent out. He knew that the troops who had just fought hard with Beiwei were also elite. Although these cavalry were also elite, they were far inferior to those of Guaizima and Tiefutu. In addition, they had suffered a lot of energy and energy loss after a long battle. Now they were put into the battlefield, just to make the enemy infantry more contributions.
Looking at the distance, although more than 10,000 elite cavalry were sent, Zong Bi had no chance of winning. The enemy army in front of him was far superior to any army under his command in terms of physical strength, martial arts, courage and perseverance, and weapons and equipment. If he had been prepared, he would first use light cavalry to harass the enemy, damage the enemy's physical strength and spirit, drag the enemy down, and then defeat the enemy with heavy cavalry. The enemy commander first used cavalry to attract his attention, which caught him off guard and used heavy cavalry to fight the enemy's heavy infantry. In a head-on battle, his heavy cavalry did not take any advantage. At this time, in order to win the final victory, he had to add troops and continuously press his chips, hoping that the other party would become the first party to be unable to stand.
After the enemy's vigorous cavalry joined, more than 20,000 Song army infantry fought with the enemy in a melee. Facing elite enemy cavalry, the commander of the two armies of victory and defeating the front was full of experience. The soldiers were also veterans who had been through many battles. The imperial guards in the world were the most elite. Although they were coming in front of the enemy cavalry like a storm, what would they be afraid of?
The battle axe was flying, and one axe cut the enemy cavalry and the man and the horse into two halves. The sword was like a wall, and the person was chopping. The Jin soldiers kept attacking, retreating, and attacking again. The commander Zong Bi kept adding troops. Tens of thousands of golden cavalry were like violent waves, attacking wildly and rushing. More than 20,000 Song troops were like drowning in the black waves, crowding left and right, blocking left and right, blocking left and right, and were scrambling by the enemy countless times, but quickly regaining the disadvantage. In addition to repelling the enemy's crazy attack, Xu had spare strength and continued to advance layer by layer. The chariots and archers behind the invasional formation had enough space to continuously fire raids and arrows to support the infantry.
The fierce battle that began in the morning started with the Beiwei Army. At this time, it had been more than three hours. The sun turned east and then west. The white hot sunlight had begun to turn red. The Song and Jin armies fought repeatedly, just like two giants fighting on the ground. They both used their last strength and even bite them with their teeth. They must knock the other down and be killed.
Zong Bi was no longer surrounded by him. All the generals and reserve teams had been dispatched. The dusk began to droop, the red sunset shone on the earth, and the sound of weapons hitting each other was endless. There were many serious injuries around him who were retreating. Everyone gritted their teeth and held back their moans, but the smell of blood was spreading in the air, stimulating people's nerves and making the people staying behind extremely nervous.
His hands were covered in sweat and he had no soldiers to send. The enemy's heavy infantry was so strong and stoic that he faced twice his cavalry, not only did he not retreat, but he was still easily blocking it, but he could often fight a few beautiful counterattacks.
After resting, the enemy's cavalry re-entered the battlefield and firmly protected the two wings of their infantry. This kind of infantry and cavalry combined force and attack on several sides was originally the only magic weapon for the army of the prosperous Tang Dynasty to scatter the desert grasslands. It needed the cooperation of powerful heavy armored infantry and well-trained elite cavalry to exert its maximum effectiveness. At this moment, the Yue Family Army had elite cavalry that had never been since the founding of the Song Dynasty. In addition, the most powerful heavy armored infantry in history, the Jin soldiers could compete with such an army with the elite cavalry of founding the country, and the two sides had a draw. If not, they would have been defeated and fled long ago.
At this moment, Tiefutu had already had all the troops, and the kidnapped horses retreated to rest and then reopened. When they saw the blood on the faces of generals such as Xia Jinwu, Zong Bi felt desperate. He used all kinds of attack methods. Until now, the two armies fought, everyone gritted their teeth and rushed to the point of view that who could not hold on first and fell down dejectedly.
He knew that this was the most critical moment, but unfortunately he had used all his strength to barely maintain a tie. And there was no troops around him to send except a small number of guards.
At this moment, I heard the cheers of Song army on the battlefield not far away. The drums behind the chariot formation were like thunder, and rumbling as if knocking on Zong Bi's heart. Along the distance, I saw a big flag with the word "Yue" fluttering in the wind, but Yue Fei once again led the cavalry of his personal guards and rushed into the battle formation.
After leading Beiwei to attack the formation, Yue Fei first retired and no longer continued to fight in person. Instead, he judged the situation and sent troops to assist in the battle one after another, firmly grasped the initiative of the battlefield in his hands. Wanyan Zongbi kept replacing troops and dispatching generals. When the two armies fought hard until the evening, Yue Fei calculated the right time and once again led his troops into the formation. The already exhausted heavy armored infantry was greatly boosted, like a wolf or a tiger, and it was only barely supported by the enemy cavalry formation. At this moment, no Jin soldiers could resist. The Jin cavalry began to retreat, and the Beiwei army on both wings also began to surround and pursue the middle. In an instant, the Jin army was defeated.
Wanyan Zongbi looked full of pain and originally planned to take action himself, but the guards around him saw that the defeat had been completed and the overall situation was irreversible. At this moment, he rushed forward, but he just died in vain. He immediately persuaded him to stay tightly, sandwiched among the crowd, and fled in the direction of driving first.
Behind Zong Bi, countless Jurchen cavalry began to flee, without organization or formation. Under the dim twilight, these elite cavalry who had been fighting for many years and had been invincible began to flee like stray dogs.
