Chapter 304: Volley

Although the Five Kingdoms Department has been nested in the ravine, with a population of only more than 100,000, it can only be regarded as a large tribe at best, but it dares to confront the Jin army a bit of a self-defeating meaning. But don't forget that behind them was the powerful Song Dynasty supporting them, providing them with a large amount of armor and weapons, and they were in no way inferior to the Jin army in terms of equipment. In addition to material support, they also directly sent people to reform their troops and receive training in new tactics. On the other hand, the Ministry of the Five Kingdoms gathered a large number of people of various ethnic groups who were dissatisfied with the Wanyan Ministry, and also integrated the Shengnuzhen who lived here, and these people had accumulated rich combat experience in fighting against the Jin army's purging troops for a long time. Therefore, the strength of the armies of the five countries should not be underestimated, and they dared to fight a decisive battle with the Jin army.

The Jin army came from a long journey, slept in the open all the way, couldn't even drink hot water, and finally returned to China and was harassed by the Ministry of the Five Kingdoms, and was very tired from top to bottom. In such a situation where the enemy is outnumbered, the tactics chosen by the Wushu are also the active strategies that can be implemented under the current conditions. He took the initiative to attack, and from the very beginning determined the tactics of 'black tiger digging out the heart' to attack the enemy's command center, and many famous generals in ancient and modern times at home and abroad relied on this to turn the tide and turn defeat into victory.

The combat effectiveness of the Jin army is indeed strong, under the leadership of Wushu, it launched waves of fierce attacks, trying to break through the chain of horse formations, causing heavy casualties to the troops of the five countries, but they relied on their strong forces to block the Jin army again and again, and they died in battle, and it gradually became the end of a strong crossbow. At the same time, with the participation of the cavalry on both wings of the Five Nations Army, the situation on the battlefield changed again, although the left flank was captured by Wanyan Nie'er, but the empty right flank was quickly broken through, and the roundabout troops basically completed the encirclement.

Seeing that the Tiefutu around him fell one by one, and the enemy army quickly surrounded him, Wushu knew that the general trend of the Dao was gone, and he could only break through with no hope of victory. Ah Shu was naturally reluctant to let the tiger return to the mountain, and the troops of the Five Nations surrounded Tiefutu who broke into the Chinese army. How can you be brave and powerful. He led 100 pro-soldiers to break out of the siege and continue to flee north, hoping to cross the river and get domestic support.

But at this moment, the battlefield has been controlled by the troops of the five countries, and they are in close pursuit, and the Wushu ran out for more than 20 miles, and the war horse under the crotch fell to the ground with a puff, foaming at the mouth, bleeding from the corners of the eyes, and after a few convulsions, it did not move, and the horse was actually tired to death. The pro-soldiers freed up a horse. As soon as the Wushu was helped up, the troops of the Five Kingdoms chased after them, and they were about to fall into encirclement again.

At this time, a group of Jin troops killed from the rear and dispersed the troops of the Five Kingdoms, and saved the Wushu, and it seemed that it would be Wanyan Nie'er. He met the enemy on the left flank according to his plan, and protected the flank of the attacking enemy army. But the vultures fought hard for half a day and failed to achieve all their success. Nie Er's department fell into the encirclement. He could only lead his troops to break through, and he also planned to cross the river, but he didn't expect to save Wushu.

"God people!" Looking at the team of less than 1,000 people around him, Wushu howled and cried......

…………

Wushu outperformed Ah Shu, and although he suffered heavy losses, he finally survived the Yalu River. And Sa Li's drink is still running for his life. Race against the Song Army.

Tokugawa is an important node on the defense line of the Great Wall of Goryeo, and of course it is also the object of Goryeo's key defense, but it has been captured twice by the Jin army in a short period of time. On this day, the Tokugawa defenders had just watched the former army led by Wushu leave and resume the occupation, when the kang was hot and they found that the Jin army was approaching. A group of people also had experience, so they left with their bags, gave the hot kang head to Jin Jun, and everyone went up the mountain to blow the northwest wind. But the Goryeo soldiers soon found out that they were wrong, and not long after the Jin army occupied the river valley, a group of Song troops arrived in a hurry, and if they held on for a while, they could still enjoy the work of the hot kang.

The Tiger Commander 1st and 2nd Brigades rushed to Tokugawa for a day and a night, and they soon learned from the Goryeo soldiers that they had arrived a little late, and that the Jin army had already occupied the valley and was climbing up the mountain! As soon as Liu Bao and Zhou Jun discussed, let's not wait, take advantage of the unstable foothold of the vanguard of the Jin army to drive them down and snatch the high ground back. They did as they were told, and one launched a swift attack in the south and the other in the north, and after a fierce battle, they seized the valley and controlled the high ground on both sides.

After occupying the high ground on the south bank, Liu Bao, the commander of the 1st Brigade, immediately ordered the troops to repair the fortifications and arrange a blocking line despite fatigue. When they had just completed the deployment, before they could catch their breath, they saw the Jin Army Brigade coming along the river valley from a distance, and the scene was like a giant python slowly squirming forward.

The battle began as soon as the Jin army arrived, and each Jin army understood that this blockade line was stuck in their lifeline, and if they couldn't break through, then no one would want to return home, so the two sides fought extremely fiercely as soon as they came into contact, like a symphony with a pinch overture, and the sound of guns and cannons resounded through the river valley. The Song army was stuck in the valley, and the Jin army was also determined to win, and if the strong attack could not be done, it made a detour from the flank and back. The 1st and 2nd Brigades of the Tiger General were separated into two isolated islands, unable to support each other and had to fight on their own. The disparity in the strength of the two armies made the firearms in their hands seem to be greatly reduced, and they faced danger several times......

After a night of fierce fighting, the sun finally showed a red face, and the mouth of the river valley was still in the hands of the Song army, but they had to shrink their positions under the impact of the Jin army's death. Liu Bao looked to the opposite side, and the battle flag of the Second Brigade was still fluttering, indicating that the position was still in their hands, which made him feel a little comforted, at least showing that he was not fighting alone, and that there was a difficult brother to accompany them.

Taking advantage of the interval between the battles, Liu Bao inspected his position, and now the two brigades each occupied a hill on both sides of the river valley, just like the two towers in front of the palace gate overlooking the river valley. The position in the river valley has been abandoned under the fierce impact of the Jin army, and it has been blocked by them with cut down giant trees and rocks, forming a high barrier, people can barely climb over empty-handed, don't think about the war horse, and if you don't die, you have to break your hooves, and now the piles of dead bodies are almost as high as the obstacles, and anyone who can successfully cross this blockade line can be called the darling of heaven.

The position of the 1st Brigade controlled a valley about 200 paces long, and formed a crossfire with the opposite 2nd Brigade to block the valley floor. They built two semi-circular lines of defense at the foot of the hill and on the mountainside, and in order to prevent the enemy from detouring from the back and flanks of the hill, they also placed alert forces, and the positions of the brigade's machine gun battalions were arranged in echelons to provide fire support and blockade the valley from the front.

"How's that, can you still fight? No, I will ask the third battalion to replace you. Liu Bao descended down the gully to the first line of defense of the first battalion, and asked the commander Zhang Lindao that the first battalion had captured the hill as a commando since it arrived, and had been sticking to it here.

"Commander, it's okay now, there is something else that can be overcome, but there is a lack of water!" Zhang Lin hurriedly got up and saluted, yesterday the Jin army set fire to the mountain, but it didn't do anything to the people, but the residual snow on the mountain was burned, and drinking water became a big problem.

"Well, the baggage team is looking for springs and snow, let them replenish it first!" Liu Bao looked at the chapped lips of the soldiers, swallowed with difficulty and said.

"Commander, when will you fight back, you can't always spend it here with them, right?" Zhang Lin asked.

"Hehe, I also want to charge, but you see how many enemies are gathered in the river valley, we will have to drown them in the blink of an eye and bring them food to eat!" Liu Bao said with a smile.

"Alas, looking at a pot of meat but can't put it in your mouth, this is really gluttonous!" Zhang Lin sighed and said, merit is linked to the annihilation of the enemy, and merit is the basis for everyone's promotion and reward, and more importantly, with military merit, you can be knighted and promoted to a higher rank, and become a 'superior person'.

"When you eat too much, I'm afraid that your belly snacks won't be gone!" Liu Bao said loudly, causing the surrounding soldiers to laugh.

"Commander, have you seen the emperor?" A soldier asked with a smile.

"Cut, when the emperor built the army, he set up four pro-soldier battalions of dragons, lions, tigers and leopards, and your first battalion is the old root of the tiger general, I am the commander of Team B and Group C, and your commander is my soldiers, you ask him if he has seen the emperor?" Liu Bao pointed at Zhang Lin and said disdainfully.

"Hey, the emperor was dangling in front of our eyes every day, you can't see him if you don't want to, he can call the name of almost every veteran in the camp back then. You now think that the feast is a very glorious thing, and at that time the emperor took turns eating together in the four battalions, and maybe he would sit at the same table with whomever he wanted, so the feast was not worth mentioning to us veterans! Zhang Lin said helplessly, but everyone clearly heard the meaning of showing off.

"The commander made you brag, I heard that the emperor has a hundred and ten dishes for every meal, can he eat a big pot of rice like you?" A soldier teased.

"Who do you listen to nonsense, the emperor is the most frugal, he is the same as us on weekdays, even the handsome they are greedy, that is, the emperor eats a roast mutton, and the imperial chef Sangouzi always complains to us that he makes big pot rice all day long, and his skills are lost. When I set out on the expedition, I gnawed dry food and drank cold water like everyone else! Zhang Lin said with a glare.

"Some people just have ulterior motives and deliberately slander the emperor, think about whether the life in your family is getting better day by day, not to mention eating meat at once, you can also fight tooth sacrifices for three or five days! We are the pro-army formed by the emperor himself, and we are the most trusted troops of the emperor, we must not believe those nonsense, but we must be loyal to our emperor, loyal to the Great Song Dynasty, fight for the emperor, and fight for the Great Song Dynasty! Liu Bao said loudly.

"Be loyal to the monarch and love the country, protect the family and defend the country!" The soldiers shouted after Liu Bao, and these eight words had been deeply imprinted in their hearts on the first day of their enlistment.

'Bang, bang...' A few gunshots rang out, and the enemy began a new round of attack...... (To be continued......)
