88 Battle of Chenzhou (2)

It should be said that Pu Atong made a correct decision in this short period of time, because if the Jin army wants to meet the cavalry of the Song army, it must turn around and then re-line the formation, and if there is such a delay, the men and horses of the Song army in front and back may be caught together, so it is better to simply ignore the Song army behind him, and directly attack the infantry in front of him in one go, and strive to penetrate the infantry formation as soon as possible and kill the encirclement of the Song army. Moreover, in the battle just now, the loss of the Jin army's Tiefutu was not large, and it was still very effective to use the Tiefutu to attack the infantry of the Song army.

Therefore, with Pu Atong's order, the Jin soldiers urged their horses again and rushed directly to the Song infantry in front.

Pu Atong raised a big knife in his hand, rushed to the front of the entire team, and faced the infantry rushing up by the Song army, the sword light flew, and cut down three or four Song soldiers in a row, killing into the Song army's formation. Behind him, followed by Tiefutu, and everyone knew that if he didn't break through the formation of the Song army as soon as possible and was caught up by the cavalry behind, he was afraid that he would fall into the belly and back attack the enemy, so one by one he held a spear in his hand, and with the help of the momentum of the war horse, he fiercely stabbed towards the Song army.

Although the Song army was also fighting hard, the ordinary infantry had no advantage over the heavy cavalry, and the swords and spears hit the opponent, almost no damage to the enemy, and he was either pierced by the spear of the golden soldier and fell to the ground, or was rushed to the ground by the galloping war horse, and then trampled by the iron hooves. Therefore, the Song army and Ben could not resist the breakthrough of the Jin army. After a while, the Jin army opened a big hole in the Song army's formation, and it was still expanding.

But with the blocking of the infantry of the Song army, the advance of the Jin army slowed down, and the front army was still struggling to advance, but the rear team was caught up by the cavalry of the Song army.

However, at this time, Pu Atong didn't have the time to pay attention to the rear team, but led Tiefutu and fought hard to kill in the Song army's formation, hoping to break away from the Song army's infantry as soon as possible and get rid of the dilemma of flanking the front and rear.

Just when Pu Atong swung his knife hard, he cut down several Song soldiers in front of him one by one, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and now in front of him, there was no longer a Song army to block it, and the Jin army finally penetrated the Song army's formation and divided the Song army's infantry into two sections.

As the crack widened, more and more Jin troops broke through the Song army's formation and fought their way out of the encirclement. However, the Jin army only put on the situation of being attacked by the enemy, and in the rear, Chen Min still led the cavalry of the Song army, biting tightly. Moreover, many of the infantry of the Song army also turned around and pursued the Jin army that fell behind.

Pu Atong also knew that even if he turned back at this time, it would be impossible to defeat the Song army, so he did not look back, and led the Jin army to continue to run forward. Because the Jin army was all cavalry after all, it quickly sent away the pursuit of the Song army.

Indeed, after he thought that he was safe, Pu Atong checked the people, and the loss was not large, only **100 people, less than 1,000. Since it is an iron float, there is almost no loss. Therefore, Pu Atong immediately led his men and horses again, turned his head and went back, and came to the vicinity of Changping Town to observe the movements of the Song army.

At this time, the Song army completely occupied Changping Town, and Chen Min also led the army into the town, but it was not big in Changping Town, and it could not accommodate so many people and horses of the Song army, so a considerable part of the Song army was stationed outside the town.

Pu Atong estimated in his heart. If you attack head-on, you must not be able to defeat the Song army, but you can use the tactics of harassment and send a small group of men and horses to constantly harass the Song army, so that the Song army will not be at peace.

Just when Pu Atong was about to give an order, someone suddenly came to report, and after speaking, the army of Monk Yan Chen arrived fifteen miles northwest of Changping Town. After Pu Atong learned about it, he immediately gave up his plan to send troops and rushed to meet Monk Yan Chen.

After listening to Pu Atong's speech, Monk Wanyan Chen did not blame Pu Atong, because his vanguard was too different from the Song army, in this case, no one would inevitably suffer defeat, and Pu Atong was able to make a decision on the spot, make the right choice, and kill the Song army's encirclement and minimize the losses, it is indeed not easy.

At the same time, Pu Atong also basically listened to the virtual and real distribution of the Song army clearly, which made Monk Wanyan Chen very satisfied. Therefore, he asked Pu Atong's men and horses to hurry up and rest, and at the same time formulated a plan to attack Changping Town.

At the third watch of the same night, the Jin army led by Wanyan Chen and Pu Atong divided into two routes and attacked Changping from the east and west sides respectively.

And Chen Min didn't expect that the Jin army would attack again in such a short time, so the Song army was a little unprepared, and was killed by the Jin army at once. Seeing this, Chen Min had no choice but to order a retreat. The whole army retreated to the Song army camp stationed in Wanqiu. By the dawn of the day, all the Song troops in the area of Changping Town were evacuated, and the Jin army once again captured Changping Town.

After the Jin army seized Changping Town, Wanyan Chen monk did not make any stop, only sent 2,000 Jin soldiers to guard Changping Town, clean the battlefield, and the rest of the people and horses were led by Wanyan Chen Monk and Pu Atong, followed the Song army, and chased to the Wanqiu camp of the Song army. and sent someone to inform Wen Gusun in Chenzhou City, asking him to lead troops out of the city to support.

After the messenger left, Monk Wanyan Chen and Pu Atong immediately led the Jin army and launched an attack on the Song army's camp from the north.

At this time, the Song army had just entered the camp, was counting the losses, and then prepared to go back to the camp to rest. Chen Min also returned to his big tent, took off his helmet, and was about to take off his armor, but before he could even drink a sip of water, the Jin army attacked.

The Song army was caught off guard again, because it was the men and horses who had just retreated to the camp, Yijing completely relaxed, scattered, and sat or lay down in various parts of the dog camp, but not only could not react in time, but also panicked, and the counterattack affected the morale and actions of the other Song soldiers to meet the Jin army.

As a result, when the Jin army rushed to the edge of the camp, there were not many Song soldiers stationed in place on the camp wall, and the arrows shot were sparse, and there was almost no threat to the Jin army.

And Wanyan Chen monk took the lead, and the red dragon horse under the seat was like a gust of wind, rushing to the side of the camp wall of the Song army, turning the big axe in his hand, saving enough strength for his life, and with the help of the momentum of the war horse, he slashed at the camp gate of the Song army's camp.

There was a loud bang, and the gate of the Song army's camp was split open by Monk Wanyan Chen with an axe. With the urging of the horse wheel axe, it entered the camp of the Song army, and with a swing of the big axe, the heads of the two Song soldiers took out a puff of blood, and immediately flew into the air, and on the headless neck, blood gushed out like sparks in the sky. Monk Wanyan Chen's big axe rotated like the wind, slashing and killing the Song soldiers, and each blow would bring out a bloody rain, and one by one the Song soldiers fell to his left and right.

Pu Atong followed closely behind him, leading the other Jin soldiers into the camp of the Song army, galloping vertically and horizontally, rushing back and forth.

However, the width of the camp gate is limited, and it is impossible for all the Jin soldiers to enter the camp of the Song army at once, so the rest of the Jin soldiers threw out the rope outside the camp gate and hooked the camp wall, and then hundreds of people pulled together and pulled the camp wall several times, and the gold soldiers of the brigade were able to quickly enter the camp.

At this time, Chen Min reacted first and immediately commanded the Song army to resist the Jin army that attacked the camp. Moreover, the Song army is also a well-trained elite man, and generals at all levels also have rich combat experience, so after getting through the initial panic, many Song soldiers are settled, and it is now daytime, most of the soldiers are outside the camp tent, and the weapons are also in their hands, so they raise their weapons one after another and start a fierce battle with the Jin army.

Because of the small position in the large battalion, no formation or phalanx can be arranged, and most of them rely on the soldiers' personal combat ability and familiarity with the terrain. In these two aspects, the Song army is not inferior, and in terms of the number of soldiers, the Song army is originally more than the Jin soldiers, and at the same time, some of the Jin soldiers are outside the camp, compared with these aspects, the Song army has an advantage.

Therefore, after a fierce battle between the two sides for more than an hour, the Song army gradually stabilized the position, and reversed the disadvantage, and also killed the Jin army a little. Chen Min saw very clearly in the formation, so he was a little relieved, if he fought for a while, the Song army would slowly gain the upper hand, and he might be able to kill the Jin soldiers out of the camp.

However, at this moment, there was another shout of killing from the east, and a soldier ran to Chen Min and said, "Report to the supervisor, there is a team of golden soldiers who have come from the east to our camp. ”

When Chen Min heard this, he couldn't help but be taken aback, where is this Jin Jun from? Because at this time, the attention of the Song army was all in the north, and it was defenseless against the east at all, and now it was sending troops to defend, I am afraid it would be too late.

The Jin army that came was the Shouli of Chenzhou. After Wen Gusun, the general stationed in Chenzhou, received the letter from Monk Yan Chen, he knew that he had come to rescue Chenzhou, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and immediately prepared men and horses, and at the same time sent people out of the city to investigate, just waiting for Monk Yan Chen's men and horses to arrive, he immediately sent troops, and Monk Yan Chen attacked on both sides to defeat the Song army.

After waiting for more than an hour, the spies reported that the monk Wanyan Chen led the army to attack the camp of the Song army, and after Wen Gu Sun Jianxun, only 2,000 men and horses were left to defend the city, and almost all the troops outside the city, with a total of 20,000 horses, to attack the east of the camp of the Song army.

He came at the right time, taking advantage of the fact that the attention of the Song army was in the north, and suddenly entered the camp of the Song army. At this time, the Song army's position had just stabilized, and he was suddenly attacked, and immediately became chaotic again. As soon as the men and horses of Monk Wanyan Chen saw that reinforcements had arrived, the army's morale was also greatly boosted, and they were gradually unable to resist, but at this time, they all cheered up and rushed forward.
