Chapter 714: The Decisive Battle

At the same time that Wanyan Huonu was killed by an arrow from Xiaoyang Youji Jieyuan, on the long front of fifty miles from Taihang Mountain to the Yellow River, almost all the Jin troops who were originally responsible for guarding launched an attack.

In the north, Wanyanyan's mother sat in town.

His subordinates Jin Wushu attacked Zongze, rushed Yao Youzhong, and Chizhan Hui attacked Gao Shidan, but none of the three generals could break through the Song army's defense line.

This line of defense is too thick.

After Zong Ze gathered the subordinates who had been defeated before, he still listed four lines of defense with Thanh Hoa as the core, each line of defense was preceded by a horse rejection array, and the last two lines of defense were supported by a large number of people who spontaneously came from behind, and even dug a trench each. Because as the most important part of the defense line, the task he got was to defend to the death, and he also knew that his combat strength was the worst, so he simply put up a position that could be said to be a stand-in, blocking this most important road for the Jin army.

And the two armies of Yao Youzhong and Gao Shidan to the south of him actually put up a large phalanx with brigades as units.

That's how they fought.

Each army has three first-line and two second-line, and five phalanxes form two lines of defense, and the two armies are actually directly connected as a whole because of the small defense area, six on the first line and four on the second line, and the distance between all the phalanxes is just over the effective armor-piercing range of the Divine Arm Bow, so as to avoid accidental injury, but the attacker must bear the crossbow arrows behind the back. In front of the first-line phalanx, there is a dense rejection of horses, and the frontal assault of the Jin army will have to be hard, and the flank attack will be flanked, even if it rushes through the flank attack with speed, it will also be blocked by the phalanx behind, which actually acts as a reserve. These phalanxes are not small, in fact, each phalanx is 4,000 people, and three phalanxes are more than a mile apart, and they can move in formation at any time, and it is difficult for cavalry to attack such phalanxes with good results.

This is actually a revised version of the hollow phalanx.

It's just that the cannons that bear the long-range attack have changed to bed crossbows and ballistas, and the flintlock pistols have become the divine arm bow, but the main front-line combat, similar to the bayonet hand-to-hand combat of the gray cattle, is the spearmen and halberdiers with heavy armor like the Swiss phalanx.

This is not entirely Yang Feng's invention either.

The Song army's battle itself was roughly the same, in the later period, Wang De defeated the Jin army with 10,000 battle axes in Zhegao, and Han Shizhong's department also used a large number of halberds with similar purposes, and Yue Fei's department was also a dense formation with a long and short battle axe and a divine arm bow as the core.

Cold weapons wars often end up in the same way.

European iron cans and Great Song Bu armor, European steel crossbows and Song Army divine arm bows, European war halberds and Song Army axes and knives, and even war hammers, even flails and the like are all different ways in the end, the appearance of weapons may be different, but the use is the same, the peak of cold weapons is nothing more than heavy armor, and then break the heavy armor, but the European war evolved to this point much later, and the European battlefield evolved to the peak of cold weapons, and it has reached the era of gunpowder weapons.

And Yang Feng just advanced it a little bit earlier, and at the same time systematized the rules and institutionalized it, so that the accumulation of personal experience of those generals became a set of general tactics, and gave the soldiers a little bit of faith plug-in.

But that's enough.

Brave and tenacious soldiers, dense formations, and phalanxes that cooperate with each other form a quagmire that makes the cavalry desperate, whether it is a frontal attack, a flank attack, or even a cavalry interspersed, the result is to fall into this quagmire and then become the last thing the cavalry wants to do, so that the precious cavalry and even the mounted cavalry will consume each other with those infantry cannon fodder.

In the end, Wanyan Yanmu couldn't break through in three ways.

And the middle lane was demoralized after the death of Wanyan Huonu, and there was also no hope of breaking through Han Shizhong's defense.

In fact, it was being attacked by the Song army.

Because there is not only Han Shizhong there, but also Zhang Jun.

The death of Wanyan Huonu made the morale of Zhang Jun's subordinates skyrocket, they were the old department of the planter, they were defeated by Wanyan Huonu at the beginning, and this time it can be regarded as a big revenge, and they are in the south of Han Shizhong, actually relying on the Qin River to form a formation. Because the Qin River has entered the flood season, the surging river blocked the flank, Zhang Jun, who did not encounter the attack of the Jin army, chose to take the initiative to attack, lined up along the right bank of the Qin River, and threatened the Jin army from the flank, and the Qin River was diagonally inserted down, and his advance was actually compressing the entire battlefield on the north bank of the Qin River, squeezing the Jin army to the north step by step.

He's not alone, either.

Behind him was Liu Guangshi, who was actually a reserve on the North Shore battlefield.

At this time, the entire battlefield was divided into two parts: north and south.

The middle separation is the Qin River, on the north bank of the Qin River are Zong Ze, Yao Youzhong, Gao Shidan, Han Shizhong, Zhang Jun, and Liu Guangshi led his subordinates as a reserve for this battlefield, reinforcing everywhere at any time, but in fact he had almost no pressure, because he was already sure that the Jin army would not be able to rush out.

So he simply joined the counterattack.

It is said that his father is the second assistant, the boss of the military general system, and he has to make meritorious contributions.

And the Jin army on the south side of the Qin River is actually Luo Suo or Yan Lou Room.

He took 20,000 guards to the east to guard the Song army, but at this time it was also blocked by Liu Qi, Liu Guangguo, Zhang Shuye's son Zhang Zhongfen, the elite three armies of the Imperial Battalion Division, and at the same time Li Yanxian's cavalry on the south bank had also crossed the river by boat, but there was a Huaizhou pontoon bridge between Luosuo and the battlefield on the north bank.

Huaizhou is still controlled by them.

This city was already the core of the battlefield, and Loso was in a formation behind the city, preventing the Song army from attacking north through the pontoon bridge to the north bank.

Zhang Jun and Liu Guangshi's combined army advanced, once the bridgehead will be cut out, the latter left only river crossing channel in the upper reaches of the Qin River is still nearly fifty miles away from Huaizhou, and at this time Li Yanxian's troops are attacking the tail of the main force of the Jin army, he and Wang Yan's combined army recovered Mengzhou yesterday, if he avoids Huaizhou and goes north directly from the flank, then the river crossing channel in the north will also be cut off, and Luosuo will become a lone army besieged by nearly 100,000 Song troops.

Understanding the danger of the situation, Wanyan Yan's mother immediately personally led nearly 20,000 Jin troops south to face Zhang Jun and Liu Guangshi.

As for Sticky Han, he had already gone to Tianjing Pass to supervise the battle at this time, after all, this was the easiest and most effective way to break the game.

The north bank of the Qin River.

The iron horsemen of the Jin army carried the tsunami, and the sound of horses' hooves surging in the angry waves of the tsunami, and thousands of troops and horses rolled up the dust in the sky to cover the clouds and the sun.

"Steady!"

Zhang Jun shouted in front of the horse.

Although his reputation is very stinky, it must be understood that his name as a famous general is not all water, it is still mainly dry goods, and at this moment he led a total of 30,000 troops, including the original Wang Yuan and Miao Fu's subordinates, he himself commanded the Chinese army, the left army Tian Division, and the right army was Miao Fu's younger brother Miao Yi, but in fact, Miao Fu was guilty of meritorious service.

Behind his formation were Liu Guangshi's 20,000 men.

Including the three thousand core cavalry of their Liu family, these three thousand are the real elite, all of them are the children of their hometown of northern Shaanxi, but Liu Guangshi is not a real commander, this famous Zhongxing general is known to be a real handful of water, but he has a real fierce general under him.

Wang Dewang Yasha.

Zhang Jun, who had personally reviewed the formation, quickly turned his horse's head and retreated into the formation, and behind him the Jin army's forward mounted cavalry surged, aiming at his right army first.

"Flee the battle!"

Miao Fu, who was waiting for the guilty meritorious service, roared with a hideous face.

Because he took the initiative to attack, he did not reject the horse in front of his formation, but as the most trusted general of Zhao Gou before, the number of equipment of his subordinates with three-eyed guns was also the largest, just when the torrent of the Jin army's equipment and cavalry entered within ten zhang, nearly a thousand three-eyed guns in front of his formation densely erupted flames, and the volcanic eruption-like scene and the terrifying sound made the Jin army's war horses stop one after another, and continued to slide forward with inertia in the dense projectile hits, and then collided with the Song army's spears and shields.

Miao Fu roared.

Then he stepped forward with a sword.

A soldier beside him lit the fuse of the three-eyed gun at the same time, and the flames erupted instantly, because the distance was so close, that it almost sprayed into the face of a Jin cavalryman on the opposite side, and before the latter could wake up from the shock, Miao Fu's sword cut off his head.

The general's leading role in the soldiers is extremely effective.

Although he belongs to the meritorious military position of Dai Guilty is a small soldier, but the eight thousand people under him have been following him, originally in history he engaged in a mutiny to make Zhao Jiumei inhumane, these people loyally followed, just when he cut off the head of the Jin army, under the cover of the three-eyed gun close-up, the Song saber axe swarm up, wielding knives and battle axes and even weapons such as bone flails, and the Jin military equipment and cavalry that rushed into battle together.

Miao Fu, who knew his future and even the future of the Miao family, watched this battle in the future, and he really had to fight hard.

This generation of generals, great-grandfathers resisted Li Yuanhao and died in Linzhou, ancestors, fathers and two generations of Hehuang Kaibian for the Great Song Dynasty to expand the territory, but he himself was among the traitors to the guys, roaring madly and brandishing the heavy sword, slashing fiercely in a chaotic bloody battle, constantly cutting down one Jin army after another, behind him even those three-eyed gunners joined the battle, picking up this thing as a hammer, and behind them those divine arm archers and archers even had a few bowls, all of which were constantly shooting.

This is how the bloody scuffle on this side begins.

At the same time, another Jin army, led by Han Chang, was also attacking Zhang Jun's left army.

And then......

"God bless Daikin!"

Han Chang shouted excitedly.

He actually rushed away from the Song army, and the Song army's left army in charge of his side only supported the first wave of the Jin army's impact, and when the second wave of attack formation was a little chaotic, he was actually the first to escape, and the commander's escape immediately caused the soldiers to flee.

This scene made Han Chang dumbfounded.

This rare Han general in the current Jin army watched this scene in disbelief, just when the Jin army was in a bitter battle on all fronts, he actually opened a breakthrough like this, at this moment he had a feeling of pie in the sky, he did not hesitate to order the whole army to move forward and expand the results.

And Zhang Jun at this time was also stupid.

"This dog thing, I'm going to cut him with my own hands!"

He roared in grief.
