Chapter 735: Everyone is a Hero
Chapter 735: Everyone is a Hero
Wanyan Zongwang did throw the biggest problem to Zhao Yougong, the middle line or the west front? Zhao Yougong didn't think about the eastern front, because in comparison, the eastern front was the most stable, there was a geographical advantage, and there were Yelu Dashi and nearly 60,000 troops stationed there, even if Yan Zong looked at the heavenly god possession, it was impossible to tear a hole in a short time. The problem of choosing one of the two seems to be half to half, but the pressure is extremely huge, and if you make a mistake, you may lose everything.
paid a painful price to get the initiative in this war, and the pressure was less, but Wanyan Zongwang couldn't feel any happiness, because this advantage was won back by Uncle Huang with his life. When night fell, the starlight dotted the white Milky Way, Wanyan Zongwang sat alone on the bank of the Baigou River, holding a bamboo flute in his hand, and the desolate music sprinkled all over the river, reflecting the starlight, infinitely sad. Since he was a child, the emperor's uncle has taught him carefully, in comparison, what has that father Khan done after he finished fighting his face? He would rather choose Yan Sheng than face his son. Although he is an uncle and nephew, in the eyes of Wanyan Zongwang, that is his father, who has cultivated himself step by step to become the greatest warrior in the white mountains and black waters, endowed with wisdom, endowed with bravery, endowed with strength, and endowed with benevolence. finally got the throne of the Khan, how much I want to share this glory with the imperial uncle, so that he can accompany him all the way to glory. However, everything changed on the banks of the Baigou River, and the imperial uncle died in the south of the Yongding River, completing a shocking reversal with his life.
Happy? Never happy. Why did he become the king of Khan and swept the Great Song Dynasty. But not happy at all? The strength of his hand became bigger and bigger, and with a click, the bamboo flute broke into two. Wanyan Zong looked up and threw the broken bamboo flute into the water, the cool water was like cold tears, the enemy is current, and he will fight tomorrow, so put away that sadness for the time being. Wanyan Zongwang's sad eyes slowly accumulated the meaning of fierceness, he wanted to win. We must win, and we must use victory to commemorate the death of the emperor's uncle.
On April 11 of the second year of Jingkang, the earth rejuvenated. Everything recovers, life should be vibrant, but the land of Hebei is filled with gunsmoke, and the thick fog of war hides the warmest sunshine. Under the order of Wanyan Zongwang. Wanyan Zonghan led the elite 30,000 white horse troops under his command to the Western Front. This army, composed of 10,000 elite horsemen and 20,000 foot soldiers, slaughtered towards Lin Chong's department. Lin Chong had already received a military report from the front, and this time it was not only Wanyan Zongwang's 30,000 soldiers and horses who came to the battlefield on the Western Front, but also 20,000 cavalry from Manggul in the rear. Previously, several adjutant generals begged General Niu who was stationed at the mouth of the Sancha River to ask for reinforcements, but Lin Chong did not agree.
Lin Chong did not ask for reinforcements, not because he was arrogant, and he was not afraid that Niu Gao would rob him of his credit. The reason why this is so is because there are deep doubts in my heart. The Jurchens gathered the Chinese army and rushed to the Western Front. It is impossible for His Highness not to know that it is extremely abnormal for the Jurchens to attack with heavy troops, but not to send the news over. His Royal Highness has fought in the north and south, and has been trained for many years, and it is impossible for him to make such a big mistake, and the only explanation is that His Highness thinks that the real main direction of attack of the Jurchens is not the Western Front, otherwise, His Highness will never do nothing. With this thought, Lin Chong felt that he must not ask for reinforcements unless he had to, because General Niu's soldiers and horses were likely to become the winners and losers of this war, and perhaps His Highness had already made arrangements.
"Wu Song, Xue Li, you two lead five thousand light cavalry, outflank from the west, remember one thing, don't rush into the enemy formation, just attack and disturb, if the Jurchens divide their troops to pursue, they will bring these pursuing Jurchens into the northwest Tugang!"
A black arrow was fired, and Wu Song and Xue Li stepped forward together, agreeing in unison. For Wu Song and Xue Li, it is a difficult task to lead 5,000 light cavalry to attack and harass on the flank, and it is said that it is an attack, but in fact, it is to find a way to force the Jurchens to divide their troops, so that the traps in the northwest Tugangzi can play a role. If you really fight head-on, the numerical disadvantage is irreparable, the most important thing is that the artillery battalion has suffered heavy losses, and the cavalry of the ancient town and the Tiefutu are concentrated in the middle line position, and now to hold on, you can only rely on flexible minds.
"Mengti, Yao Gu, you two lead 10,000 elite soldiers to form a formation to meet the enemy, many of them are rejected, and all the trenches are released, in short, within two hours, I don't want to see a Jurchen cavalry cross the trench belt!"
"Whoa!" Yao Gu took the order and left in a hurry, and then the bearded Luda also received the order, which is also strange, if it is about fighting on the battlefield, it has to belong to Luda, which is inferior to the fierce and abnormal Wu Song. However, Lin Chong did not let Luda go to the frontal battlefield, but asked him to guard the rear, which caused Luda to be dissatisfied for a while. However, the military order is like a mountain, and it is impossible for Lin Chong to change the order, and Luda can only squat behind with grief and indignation and curse. What kind of ability does Luda have, how can Lin Chong not know, but this head formation does not need Luda, after Yan Zonghan has led the troops for many years, he will never fight honestly, after this first tentative attack, there will definitely be a more fierce and crazy attack, and that is when Luda is needed the most.
In terms of bravery, Lin Chong thinks that he wants to be better than Luda, but no matter how brave he is, he will not boost his morale like Luda. Ruda is a strange man, he is born to belong to the battlefield, and with him charging in front, the soldiers are like being beaten with chicken blood, which adds a bit of morale. These things are not something that can be done with high force, this is a kind of talent, and if used well, it can achieve unexpected results.
The tight infantry formation advanced little by little, and the spears touched the heavy shields, emitting a piercing roar. Looking at the Dingguo army approaching step by step, after Yan Zonghan pointed at the flag, the eight thousand foot soldiers under his command swarmed up, unexpectedly, he did not use cavalry to charge, but the strange trick has the advantage of strange moves, the traps prepared by the Dingguo army for the Jurchen cavalry before were all trampled out by the infantry, although it also caused a lot of trouble to the Jurchens, but this is definitely not the effect that Lin Chong wants.
Wanyan Zonghan, this fox is really difficult to deal with, Lin Chong has to cheer up, I can't say, this is the most difficult war in his life. The Jurchen cavalry did not come out, and they used infantry to approach, and Lin Chong reacted quickly enough, and immediately ordered Yao Gu and Monty to press the formation forward, and the Jurchen infantry must not be allowed to cross the trench belt. Otherwise, the trenches that had been dug so hard would be useless.
Yao Gu also knew this, and immediately personally led his troops to charge, with Yao Gu taking the lead. The formation, which was still slowly pressing forward a little bit before, suddenly rushed forward like a whirlwind. The Jurchens were really taken aback, because they hadn't seen the Han people rush forward and fight hard. Facing the Dingguo army, the Jurchens also began to speed up their pace, but when they quickened their pace, they soon found that the soldiers of the Dingguo army on the opposite side had slowed down, and it turned out that Yao Gu had already crossed the trench belt. Feeling that it was almost there, he stopped and began to stabilize the formation. Rows of shields stacked on top of each other. The reflected light pierced people's eyes, and Wanyan Zonghan gradually frowned, what are the Han people going to do? If the Han people are desperate, it is not surprising at all. The Dingguo Army fought bravely. It's not uncommon to take the initiative to attack, but it's really weird to start stabilizing the formation again halfway through this rush.
There is a problem, there must be a problem, the more the Han people defend it, the more they have to advance, it seems that they did not take the lead in dividing the formation with cavalry. Looking at the previous situation, I don't know how many unexpected traps there are in the future.
In an instant. Nearly 20,000 foot soldiers on both sides collided together, although the Jurchen foot soldiers were heroic, but the method of the battle formation was still too far behind the countless Dingguo army, the shield hand in front was sometimes separated, sometimes closed, and more than a dozen soldiers in the rear rushed forward with the bumping wood, the bumping wood was withdrawn, and the shield was closed. Where can the round shield and the fleshy body in the hands of the Jurchens withstand the impact of the crashing wood, you must know that these collision logs are not only sharpened in front, but even the weight is not much lighter than the crashing wood. From the beginning of the battle between the two sides, the Jurchens were pressed back by the Dingguo Army, Wanyan Zonghan's brows jumped wildly, he had heard that the Dingguo Army's battle formation combined attack technique was perfect, but after all, he had never seen it, but this time he really saw it, but he was so helpless.
"Bayan, give the order, the soldiers in front of you retreat, and let the Han people on the opposite side come over! Wait for the Han people to approach thirty zhang, release all the bows and arrows, and cooperate with the foot soldiers, and be sure to defeat this Han force in one fell swoop" Wanyan Zongwang knew very well in his heart, looking at the current situation, it was wishful thinking to rely on the method of battle formation to defeat the Dingguo army, so he had to think of some other way, in short, he had to advance a hundred zhang, but he had to see what secrets were stored in the rear that the Han people desperately protected.
Wanyan Zongwang asked the soldiers to pretend to be invincible, but in fact, the Jurchens really couldn't stop it, so they retreated step by step, there was no false element here, where would Yao Gu and the others think more, keep the formation a little bit forward, and the Jurchens died more and more, and many of them were directly flattened by the chest of the collision, and their appearance was extremely tragic.
Wanyan Zongwang's face was a little pale, he really didn't expect that the White Horse Army in Liaodong would behave so badly in front of the Dingguo Army, fortunately, they needed to retreat, if they were really unprepared, wouldn't it mean that they would be pressed and beaten from the beginning of this battle? If he can return to Huining Mansion, he must suggest that Yan Zongwang strengthen the battle formation drill, and the cooperation of the military formation is too important. Yao Gu led the troops to continue to press forward, but the ensuing rain of arrows shot him into a panic, this is a real rain of arrows, many soldiers of the Dingguo Army were directly nailed into hedgehogs, due to the Jurchens to carry out a large area of ejection, no matter how powerful the shield in front is, it has lost its effect, after paying heavy casualties, Yao Gu had to order a retreat, but as soon as Yao Gu retreated, the Jurchen soldiers who were still in defeat were forced to catch up again under the pressure of the warlord. There were still arrows falling in the air, but the Jurchens were getting closer and closer.
Yao Gu was stunned, the Jurchens hadn't stopped shooting arrows, weren't they afraid of accidentally injuring their own people when they sent someone up at this time? Of course, he will be injured by mistake, but Wanyan Zongwang feels that it is worth it, if he doesn't take the opportunity to force it directly, let the Dingguo army retreat safely, and then reorganize the army formation after opening the distance, then what's the point of running out of arrows by himself? The Jurchens pounced, whether they wanted to or not, Wanyan Zongwang's order could not be disobeyed, just like that, the Jurchen infantry dragged the soldiers of the Dingguo Army in the rear under strong pressure, during this period, it was inevitable that many Jurchens died under the arrows of their own people, but they didn't care.
Yao Gu's troops were held back, and the Jurchen arrow rain finally stopped, but the Jurchen cavalry also began to move. The Jurchen cavalry moved, Yao Gu's heart began to tremble, at this time he had been dragged by the Jurchen foot soldiers, and the battle array was scattered, if he was divided by the Jurchen cavalry charge, then his brothers would all be buried here, without these tens of thousands of brothers, what would General Lin rely on to guard the positions on the Western Front?
Monty had already become a bloody man, and when he saw that the situation was not good, he cut down a Jurchen soldier and yelled at Yao Gu, "General Yao, please take your brothers to retreat quickly, General Yao, the last general, don't hesitate, if you don't retreat, the brothers will all become ghosts under the sword of the Jurchen cavalry!" ”
Carrying a steel knife, Monty, who was covered in blood, ran forward with his legs, and at the same time, he shouted loudly, "The brothers of the Han merchant camp will follow Ben in the future, hold up the shield, Ben will see how the Jurchen dog can cross the top of Lao Tzu's head!" ”
With that, Monty looked back and gave Yao Gu a sincere smile. At this point, Yao Gu gritted his teeth and didn't say anything more, and the moment he turned around, he knew that Monty was going to die, and he used his life to save the lives of more brothers.
Who is a hero, not only Xiang Yu is called a hero, not only Zhao Zilong is a hero, in this ruthless battlefield, as long as he fights bravely and fiercely, then he is a hero. At this moment, there are countless heroes in the Dingguo Army, who are burning their lives and fulfilling themselves. The shield array of 2,000 people was hastily formed, and there were no striking woods or pikemen, but they carried their shields and stood at the forefront, and if the Jurchens wanted to pass, they had to hit them first.
Wanyan Zongwang paid such a big price, it was naturally impossible to let the national army withdraw safely, seeing that Yao Gu's army was about to withdraw, he immediately became anxious, "Tell Mang Guer to keep Yao Gu's troops at all costs." ”
After this order, the cavalry swarmed up, and even Manggul, who was at the rear, personally pounced, the horses' hooves rumbled, the neighing was incessant, the cavalry rushed, the scimitar slashed, and a Han merchant soldier fell to the ground, and the thick shield pressed against his body, like a heavy coffin lid. More and more people fell, and the shield array finally broke, and Manggul held the steel spear and took away the last trace of Monty's breath.
The Jurchens broke the shield array, but Yao Gu still ran away, and he and his headquarters returned to the trench belt and reorganized the large array. Wanyan Zongwang was furious, he had never suffered such humiliation in his life, and he paid such a big price, just killing four thousand enemies? No, that's not what he wants, kill, kill!
