Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
I'm really not afraid of god-like opponents, but I'm afraid of pig-like teammates!
Song Huizong is undoubtedly the most cheating teammate in the world!
Li Qi doesn't know what to say, blame them for their incompetence, the incompetent Song Army is already known to the world, as a commander, you should count their incompetence, and people are also innocent, most of those reinforcements are temporarily formed, you must not blame them because they lost the battle, if so, do you blame them, after all, there are few people in the world who can take advantage of the Jin Army.
And Song Huizong's greed for life and fear of death, Li Qi naturally has to pay part of the responsibility, if he is willing to follow the development of history and let Zhao Huan become the emperor, then Song Huizong will not have this power, so there are two sides to everything, you get some, then you will definitely lose some, this is a very fair thing.
Li Qi was really powerless to change it, and he could only sulk and drop a few teacups.
These news soon spread to the imperial court, those ministers of the court were frightened, they never pinned their hopes on the forbidden army in the capital, even if the forbidden army had just won a big victory, they still pinned their hopes on these reinforcements, and now they see that several reinforcements have been defeated by the enemy, and the rest were recalled to Jiangnan by Song Huizong, Kaifeng Mansion is equivalent to falling into a lonely city situation!
The ministers of the peace faction began to move, and they gave more than 100 recitals in one day, hoping that Zhao Kai could send someone to sue for peace. Zhao Kai also felt very helpless and under pressure. made him a little breathless, but he definitely wouldn't make peace, so he simply pretended to be stupid and perfunctory.
Those ministers were extremely unhappy when they saw Zhao Kai, because Zhao Kai had always relied on his military power, and never put their opinions in his eyes, and the emperor didn't dare to do this, you as a regent would do this, it would be too much.
So these people began to find Empress Zheng to cry. How do you know that Empress Zheng agreed with Zhao Kai's approach very much, and blocked these ministers back in a few words.
Far from appeasing the ministers. Instead, it scared them. They feel that their position is already in a dispensable situation, their rights and interests have been hurt by Yan zhòng, they are about to start fighting back, and now there is only one person who can help them. That is Song Huizong, who is far away in the south of the Yangtze River
The morale of the Song army also suffered a big blow as a result. The opposite is true. The morale of the Jin army soared, and Wanyan Zongwang knew that his opportunity had come, and he personally led the whole army. Yan Mu and Liu Yanzong were the commanders of the left and right, and they appointed the living reform, and Wanyan Zongbi was the vanguard of the left and right, launched a general attack on the Mu Camel Gang, and promised that once the Mu Camel Gang was captured, all the materials of the Mu Camel Gang Ranch would be distributed to the soldiers, and the country would not take a pig or a sheep.
This is very encouraging for the soldiers of the Jin Army, because the Jin Army has no money, and their family wealth is robbed, which is also the main reason for the Jin Army's belligerence.
Wanyan Zongwang personally commanded an army of 60,000 troops, and attacked it mightily, although Shaling is still in the hands of the Song army, but the defense equipment of Shaling was completely destroyed when Guo Yaoshi led the troops to attack, which may also be the only gain of Guo Yaoshi in the battle of Qingtian Village.
The whole Jin army was holding a bad breath, eager to regain face, all of them came with a murderous aura, and in this first round of charge, the Song army stationed in Shaling was defeated, without causing any harm to the Jin army.
After the Jin army broke through the sand ridge, it drove straight in, and under the guidance of Guo Yaoshi, went straight to Mu Huogang.
Li Qi, Yue Fei and other generals all knew that this was a tough battle, and it was inevitable, and they needed to rely on blood and bodies to resist, so they hurriedly organized several troops to surround the Jin army.
But it's a pity that the combat effectiveness is too bad, Wanyan Zongwang wants to respond to all changes with the same, with a snap of his fingers, he defeated the Song army several times in a row, and after half a day's effort, he hit only five or six miles away from Mu Camel Gang, seeing that Mu Camel Gang is in front of him, this is also the last line of defense of the Song army, once the Mu Camel Gang is broken, then it is only ten miles away from Kaifeng City, and they can attack Kaifeng City from the north at will.
This is the disadvantage of your Li Qi not guarding the city wall, in history, the first attack of the Jin army took the Mou Camel Gang, but did not capture the Kaifeng City, all because Li Gang chose the most conservative method of defending the city, that is, to defend the city wall, Mu Camel Gang you want to take it, about this history, of course Li Qi knows, but he did not learn from Li Gang, but stationed the army outside the city, to fight a decisive battle with the Jin army, but if your army was completely annihilated by the Jin army in the suburbs, then you go to defend the city wall, you really may not be able to take it.
And the reason why Li Qi did this, including many aspects, he was completely from the overall situation, too many interests tempted him to do this, all in all, he wanted not only to block the Jin army, but to completely defeat this Jin army, so that the Jin army could attack the Song fetus for the second time.
Therefore, in any case, the military stronghold of Mutuogang must not be lost.
Hearing the news that the Song army was defeated and retreated one after another, and the Jin army was about to fight, Li Qi knew that the time for a decisive battle had come, and he would not necessarily lose, so it depended on whether the hundreds of thousands of troops had the determination to fight to the death.
For this reason, Li Qi personally came to Mu Huogang, stood up with the handsome flag, and issued a death order, if the general retreats, the soldiers can kill the generals, the former retreats, the latter can kill them immediately, if I retreat, you can also kill me.
As soon as this order was given, the officers and men of the Song army knew that there was no way to retreat, and Li Qi was here, this order also took effect on him, which was equivalent to letting go, and now the Song army was determined to die in the face of the menacing Jin army.
When Wanyan Zongwang led the army to kill, he saw that on the wide ground, the 100,000 Song troops were lined up, thousands of chariots, ten chariots were a team, and there were dozens of soldiers standing on each chariot, as well as the strong fortress, and a black handsome flag behind it was waving in the wind, which was particularly conspicuous.
Dare to have a head-to-head confrontation with the Jin Army on this vast terrain, no one would have imagined that this person was just an inconspicuous little chef a few years ago.
Wanyan Zongwang looked at it from afar and nodded frequently. praised: "If Song Jun could have been like this, we would have been able to stand here today." ”
His blood is gradually rising, and it is also a fortunate thing to find an opponent who is on a par with him. The solemnity of the Song army, and the courage to fight a decisive battle here, made the Jin army also put away the contempt, the ground kicked by the horses' hooves, and the big battle was about to break out.
At this time, it is already dusk, and the spring breeze that has always been warm is pleasant. They all seemed to be frightened by the murderous atmosphere. The golden light sprinkled on the snowy spearhead, everyone seemed to be wearing a golden armor, this war that happened in the world, under the reflection of the setting sun. It's like a war from above.
Sunset couldn't bear to see what happened next. Quickly fell. But who exactly tomorrow belongs to, no one knows at the moment.
As soon as it was dark, Li Qi knew that the other party was about to attack.
Really. In less than a moment, the drums suddenly rose and shook the heavens and the earth.
The sound of killing protruded.
The two cavalry of the Jin army, each with about three or four thousand people, stabbed the heart of the Song army in an arc like two scimitars.
Ten thousand horses galloped, rolled up a large piece of dirt, rode the momentum of the earth waves, swept in, as if the earth was shaking.
As a later generation, it is the first time for Li Qi to see such a spectacular scene, it looks like a torrent, pressing towards him, his heart is about to stop beating, and he can't help but sigh in his heart, I can't help but sigh in my heart, I can't see this scene, I don't come for nothing!
The green flag was raised.
On the chariot, a thousand bed crossbows have pulled out a full moon.
Two thousand steps
Fifteen hundred steps
A thousand steps
"Put it down."
As soon as the enemy rushed into range of the bed crossbow, the commander of the chariot shouted almost simultaneously.
Bang bang bang!
The big men swung their sledgehammers and slammed the trigger.
Ten thousand arrows are fired together, whistling away, covering the sky and the sun, and the rainbow runs through the moon.
Almost at the same time, the formation of the Jin army suddenly changed, and it spread out in full, with each person in the front and back and left and right being five or six steps away, forming a half-moon, showing a trend of encirclement and enveloping it.
When charging, he can calmly adjust the formation, and it is so perfect, in the whole world, only the Jin Army can do this, which is all learned from life.
Ten thousand arrows first entered the sky, and then fell into the enemy's formation like meteors.
"Ahhh
The power of this bed crossbow is amazing, it can't be said to be shot into the enemy's chest, but directly nails the enemy into the ground, but whoever is hit by the arrow, no one survives. There was a burst of screams.
Boom Boom Boom!
There was another series of explosions, which shook the ears and buzzed, as if they were about to blow the earth apart, and for a time thick smoke rose from the ground, dust flew, grass and trees flew sideways, and people turned on their backs.
Even if the formation of the Jin army is already very perfect, but there are many people who fall off their horses, those horses are hanging, and those who are not dead directly take bows and arrows, and continue to rush forward under the cover of cavalry, this is the fierceness of the Jin army.
Wanyan Zongwang knew that the other party's bed crossbow had improved a lot, and he had seen it, but he still had so many bed crossbows in unison, not only did he stand up, but his face was full of shock.
But the Jin army is not a vegetarian, the thunderous explosion did not scare them away, perhaps it can be said that they have always advocated attack, for this arrow array is no longer strange, with flesh and blood, against the rain of arrows, fearlessly continue to charge.
I have to say that the cavalry is worthy of being the strongest branch of the army for more than a thousand years, and once the cavalry is allowed to rush up, it will really be like a storm and unstoppable.
After two rounds of long-range strikes, the bed crossbow has reached the limit, although the bed crossbow is powerful and has a long range, but it has a huge drawback, that is, the time between each round of salvo is too long, in fact, not to mention the bed crossbow, even the most primitive rifle is difficult to resist the charge of the iron horse, so that in the Napoleonic era, although the cavalry is not as invincible as before, it is still an important class.
It is a very wrong strategic idea to hope that the cavalry can be completely annihilated by bows and arrows alone.
