43 Lishui Attack and Defense (2)

Moreover, at this time, the Jin army entered the strike range of the Song army, and Yang Yan gave an order, and sixty bed crossbows and thirty trebuchets from the three Dazhai in the northeast of the Song army started together to launch the first round of strikes against the Jin army.

At the same time, under the cover of bed crossbows and trebuchets, 3,000 men and horses were killed from each of the two large villages of the Song army, including 1,000 crossbowmen, and advanced to the first line of trenches, relying on earthen walls to form a defensive line at the front of the position, ready to meet the attack of the Jin army.

Due to the cover of the wooden fence, the Jin army also moved out thirty catapults and twenty bed crossbows, and continued to advance while also launching a counterattack on the Song army.

The bed crossbows and trebuchets of both sides were activated one after another, and the crossbow guns and stones flew through the air with a whistling whistle, falling into the opponent's formation, killing and wounding the enemy mercilessly, and each side suffered casualties, and the offensive and defensive battles began in this thrilling situation.

However, the wooden fence wall of the Jin army stopped at a distance of about 200 paces from the Song army's Dazhai, and there was still a distance of about 150 steps from the first pit of the Song army, so that the Song army's bows and arrows could not be used.

At this time, there were bursts of drums in the Jin army's array, and I saw hundreds of wheelbarrows pushed out from behind the wooden fence wall, and under the cover of 5,000 shieldmen, they advanced towards the first trench of the Song army. Although it was dark and it was not clear, it could be guessed that the car must have been loaded with dirt and gravel, apparently used to fill the trenches.

The 3,000 crossbowmen of the Song army, who were guarding the edge of the first trench, immediately began to fire their bows and arrows, attacking the Jin army that was approaching them. Among the arrows, there were also a large number of rockets, and the course of the battlefield immediately began to develop in a tragic direction.

Thousands of arrows crossed the sky with flames, ** shining tracks, the originally dark and dull sky was also all blood-red by the firelight, the Jin Army's small car was also equipped with a baffle, and the other covering vehicles of the Jin Army were equipped with shields, but the arrows fired by the Song Army were both direct and projectile. The baffle and shield can only protect one side, often blocking the front but not the top of the head, protecting the top of the head but not the front, so when the arrow with a sharp whistling sound, when it fell on the head of the Jin army, countless blood flowers suddenly bloomed.

The Jin army, who was hit by the arrow, screamed and fell to the ground, and some of the cars that had lost their drivers also overturned on one side, but the latecomers did not hesitate to pick up the carts again, press over the bodies of their companions, and continue to move forward. Moreover, in the rear of the Jin army, two thousand archers were also followed, and arrows were also fired at the Song army in the form of projectiles. The soldiers in the Song army also held their shields high to block the arrows. However, through the gap between the shields, many feathered arrows still fell, causing the Song army to be killed by arrows.

The arrows flew like raindrops, staggered in the air, and countless brilliant fires were as brilliant and dazzling as fireworks, but they brought a lot of casualties to both sides.

However, although both sides attacked with bows and arrows, the Song army was the main defender, and the number of crossbowmen was 1,000 more than the Jin army, and there were mounds of earth to cover up, so the casualties suffered were far less than those of the Jin army. But after paying the price of nearly a thousand more killed, the Jin army finally advanced the cars one by one to the first trench of the Song army.

At this point, the two sides were almost in contact, so the crossbowmen on both sides were also very careful in firing their arrows, trying to shoot their arrows at each other's rear to avoid accidentally injuring their own companions.

At this time, the crossbowmen of the Song army also gave up their positions in the front row and retreated to the back to shoot arrows. Four thousand five hundred pikemen immediately kicked the mound of dirt and stood in a row, their spears pointed straight ahead, the sharp tips of their spears shining sharply in the firelight, and when the Jin army came to the trench, they immediately struck them head-on.

At this time, the Jin army who was pushing the cart could not retreat, so he could only ignore the spear stabbed by the Song army, and desperately pushed forward a few steps, dumping all the dirt, sand and gravel in the cart into the trench, and some even pushed the cart into the trench together. Then some of the Jin soldiers quickly drew their sabers and parried the spears that pierced them, and some dragged the cart backwards. However, hundreds of Jin soldiers were still stabbed by the spears of the Song army, and fell to the edge of the trench or planted in the trench, which also became part of filling the trench.

However, after nearly 1,000 carts of dirt and gravel were poured in, the first trench pit was immediately filled in many places, and the 5,000 shield-bearers of the Jin army who followed behind also quickly rushed over, jumped over the trench, and attacked the Song army in the mound. The other 4,500 heavily armed swordsmen of the Song army also immediately replaced the pikemen and joined the battle group, and the two sides immediately fought fiercely around the mound more than five feet high.

For a time, more than 10,000 people immediately entered the fierce battle, but in terms of the courage and elite of the infantry army, the Song army was not inferior to the Jin army, and the number of the Song army was far more than the Jin army, and it was the strongest heavy armor hemp knife soldier in the infantry of the Song army.

The Jin army's 5,000 shield army collided with the Mazha knife formation, just like hitting a copper wall and an iron wall, not only failed to break through the Song army's defense line, but most of the fallen were Jin troops, and they were killed all over the trenches in a short time, and the blood flowed like a river.

Wanyan Changzhi and Bai Yanjing commanded the overall situation in the Jin army array. Once again, I saw the power of the Ma Za Knife Array.

Bai Yanjing said: "Right marshal, the Song army's Ma Za blade formation is too powerful, the concession army can only be sent to death in vain, ploughing the troops, I see if it is to use the iron floating map to impact the Song army." ”

Wan Yan Changzhi smiled bitterly, if it was before the Battle of Shouchang, he would have ordered to use Tiefutu to attack the Song army's Mazha knife formation, but now that the Song army has an elephant army, it is enough to deal with Tiefutu. If the Jin army dispatches Tiefutu, the Song army will definitely dispatch the elephant army. Although Wan Yan Changzhi does not think that the elephant army is invincible, but he has not yet thought of a way to deal with the elephant army, Wan Yan Changzhi knows in his heart that once there is another big defeat like Shouchang, then the morale of the Jin army, which has been restored with great difficulty, will be hit hard, and I am afraid that it will collapse.

However, after these words, Yan Changzhi was not as straightforward as Bai Yanjing, so he had to say: "Now it is only the first line of defense of the Song army, and there is still a vicious battle to be fought behind, and the current Song army is in full swing, it is not suitable to fight hard with the Song army, I think it is better to use the infantry army to consume the morale and physical strength of the Song army first, and the iron floating map is still left for Guan Jian to use." ”

After saying that, Yan Changzhi immediately issued an order, asking Shi Mo Yanshan to lead Shuhu to stab Han, Han Leming, Uting Tuochi, and Gao Linfu as a team, Pu Atong to lead the extravagant stabbing Heda, Shao Fangjie, Daduchen, and Shang Jingliang as a team, and the two teams each had 20,000 infantry troops, and took turns to attack the Song army's Ma Zha knife formation. Wan Yan Changzhi could see that because the Song army's defense line was too long, the thickness of the entire Mazha Knife Formation was not enough, and it was easier to break through, so he hoped to rely on the main general's personal super combat power to break through the gap.

At this time, the battlefield was full of burning flames, illuminated brightly, and the movement of the Jin army's men and horses was also clearly seen by Yang Yan, seeing that the Jin army had increased its strength, he immediately ordered that the three main generals of the three villages in the northeast, Zhao Cao, Qi Dazhu, and Ling Xiang, each have 3,000 men and horses from the battalion to increase the strength of the first line of defense. And personally in battle, commanding the battle.

The first attack of the Jin army was launched by a 20,000 Jin army led by Shi Mo Yanshan. The offensive was immediately much more intense. The Jin army raised its swords and guns and bravely rushed to the Song army's defensive line. Although the Song army's Mazha knife array is powerful, the general Mazha knife array needs to be defended by at least eight to ten rows of soldiers, and now because the defensive front is too long, there can only be two or three rows, and the formation is indeed too thin, and some places even need other soldiers to supplement, so although the Song army tried its best to resist, because its number was far less than that of the Jin army, the entire defense line was also in danger after a while.

Shi Mo Yanshan was originally an outstanding person among the third generation of disciples of Huining Temple, and he practiced martial arts and war in the temple for more than ten years, hoping to make contributions in the future. This time the southern expedition with the completion of Yan Chang's east and west killing, established a lot of military exploits, and gradually grew into an outstanding general, at this time he was also in person, and stepped down to fight, making a pair of short Ge rush to the mound.

As soon as Shi Mo Yanshan rushed to the bottom of the mound, there were two hemp knives in front of him, cutting down on Shi Mo Yanshan's head. Shi Mo Yanshan held Ge in both hands, held the double knife, and then Shuangge swung forward, hitting the chest of the two Song soldiers, although the two Song soldiers were heavily armored, but they couldn't help Shi Mo Yanshan's powerful blow, Ge Jian immediately penetrated through the chest and stabbed the two Song soldiers to death.

As soon as the two Song soldiers died, a gap immediately appeared in the mound. Shi Mo Yanshan just took a step forward, but there were three Song soldiers with spears in their hands, filling the gap. Three spears stabbed at Shimo Yanshan. Shi Mo Yanshan shook his spirit to face the battle, and the short Ge in his left hand was blocked, and with a "snap", the spear in the hand of a Song soldier was broken, and the short Ge in his right hand took advantage of the situation to stab out and pierce into the lower abdomen of the Song soldier. Immediately after that, the two Song soldiers in the back came together, and Shi Mo Yanshan held the pole with his right hand, raised it high above his head, and held the two guns. The short Ge of the left hand was swung horizontally, and the blood in the chests of the two Song soldiers was like a spring, and they were planted on the ground before.

Shi Mo Yanshan took advantage of the momentum and jumped up, kicked the mound, and struck left and right with Shuangge in his hand, using stabs, splits, pecks, hooks and other tricks, which were very powerful. Ordinary Song soldiers were not opponents, and they died one after another. Shi Mo Yanshan killed several people in one breath, expanding the gap of the Song army. Although the Song soldiers tried their best to stop it, they couldn't stop it, and in the blink of an eye, more than ten Jin soldiers killed the mound under the leadership of Shi Mo Yanshan.

At this moment, suddenly a long sword stabbed silently from the side, and hurriedly picked up the stone to wipe Yanshan's left wrist. Shi Mo Yanshan was shocked, although he was in a fierce battle with the Song army, but this person came to his side so quietly, and he didn't even notice it, judging from this method alone, the opponent's martial arts are definitely his own.
