Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 207 The First Battle
The horn sounded from time to time, and the Song army in front of them approached slowly in a dark manner.

Xiao Haohu licked his lips, widened his eyes, and looked at Song Jun in front of him.Although they came from afar, the Song Army's banners were neat and orderly, and there was no chaos at all.Compared with the general Song army, it is already rare.

Compared with the Jin army, the Khitan army is naturally inferior, but it can fight much more than the Song army.Until the demise of the Liao Dynasty, the Song army fought against the Khitan army, but they did not gain the upper hand.Moreover, after the surrender of gold, the Khitan army was more capable of fighting than before.In Xiao Haohu's heart, he looked down on Song Jun.

Seeing the Song army slowly approaching within a mile of him, Xiao Haohu sent five hundred cavalry to rush up and disrupt the Song army's formation.

When the two armies are at war, the battle between the two sides mentioned in the novel naturally rarely happens.But it was common practice to confuse the enemy with small groups of troops.

Shao Ling looked at the cavalry of the Jin army rushing over, but ignored them, and calmly directed the army forward.Jin Jun kept going back and forth in front of Song Jun, looking for flaws, but he couldn't find them.Instead, he was forced to retreat step by step by the Song army, and finally had to withdraw to the Jin army.

It was not until more than 100 steps in front of the Jin army that Shao Ling commanded the army to stop.

Xiao Haohu looked at Song Jun, his eyes narrowed involuntarily.When the two armies are fighting, the most fearful thing is that the opponent's lineup is neat and there are no flaws.That shows one thing, that is, the two sides can only face each other head-on, and see which side disrupts the other first.

Both sides shot their arrows.Everyone between the two formations was quickly forced out by the arrows, appearing empty.

Shao Ling stood on the horse and looked at the Jin army in front of him with an extremely serious face.Now he is very nervous and can clearly hear his own breathing.After joining the army for so many years, this is the first time that he led the army to fight the Jin army.I have heard many legends about the Golden Army before, but when I actually saw it, I felt a sense of oppression.To be honest, the lineup of the Golden Army in front is not as strict as his own, but it has a murderous look.

Looking up at the sun, it has already slanted to the west.Xiao Haohu understands that now is not a good time for the Jin army to attack.When attacking, the sun was shining into the eyes of the Jin army, preventing them from raising their heads.For Song Jun, this is the best cover.so what?Xiao Haohu doesn't care.In Xiao Haohu's impression, such an advantage is of no use to Song Jun.

A horn and drums sounded.The Jin army of the brigade pressed down on the Song army with the sound of drums.

Shao Ling's face turned slightly pale.Looking at Jin Jun, he didn't say a word.Holding the rein firmly in his hand, his mouth felt a little dry.

Zhang Jun on the side said: "Brother, how about I take the cavalry from the headquarters and go up to disrupt the Jin army!"

Shao Ling shook his head: "No need! Take the cavalry to one side and listen to my orders!"

The pace of the attacking Jin army was consistent with the sound of drums, and the closer they got, the sound was like the earth shaking and the mountains shaking.Most of the Song soldiers were recruits, and when they heard the voice, they became more and more nervous.Many people's faces were pale, and the hands holding the knives and guns were unconsciously exerting force, and they could not feel the pain.

"Shoot!" Shao Ling suddenly let out a roar, and the orderly soldier beside him waved his flag repeatedly.

With an order, Song Jun's crossbows suddenly fired together.With a sharp sound, the bow and arrow shot towards the incoming Jin army.After one round, an unknown number of gold soldiers fell to the ground.It's just that the remaining Golden Army, whose lineup is still neat, pressed over like a machine.

Xu Yang led his men to shoot behind a hillside not far away, looking at the battlefield ahead.The drums on the battlefield have a strange rhythm, driving my blood to flow and speed up unconsciously

The real battlefield is cold and cold.The blood is boiling and the fighting spirit is high, but it happens to some people in certain corners.Onlookers saw nothing but icy coldness.Some fell, and some continued on.The defender shoots one round of arrows, and the next round follows.Everyone's spirits are high.When there was no order, he could only stand there coldly.

Time seems to pass very slowly.The pace of the Jin army in the rain of arrows was not chaotic at all, they just kept moving forward.Time seemed to pass quickly again, where Jin Jun walked, an unknown number of corpses had already fallen down.

The strong crossbow has stopped, and now the Jin army has entered the range of the strong bow.The arrow rain was even denser, and it hardly stopped.

When the two armies are at war, the blank space in the middle is a dead zone.The attacking party must first pass through here and pay a huge price before they can enter hand-to-hand combat.In the era of hot weapons, in order to avoid artillery and machine guns, one must pass quickly, even without a specific formation.The era of cold weapons is different. They would rather risk the rain of arrows and sacrifice their lives, but also ensure that the formation is neat.If the formation is chaotic, there is no threat even if it is in front of the enemy's formation.

Shao Ling was riding on the horse, his face was cold and expressionless.Seeing Jin Jun approaching his formation, he just said: "Kill!"

The handsome flag swung repeatedly, and the crossbow stopped.The long axes in the hands of the soldiers at the front were raised like a wall.With the sound of the drums in the formation, the long ax was raised forward, like a mountain, and pressed down on the Jin army.

This is the [-] Iron Armor brought by Zhang Jun, the most elite unit in Wang Xiao's hunting army.Soldiers are carefully selected and trained strictly.The iron armor on his body was made by Wang Xiaolie trying his best, almost at the expense of money.On the battlefield, they are the sharpest arrows.

Why use a long axe?Instead of using a normal long gun?This was bought by the Song Dynasty with blood and tears during the battle with the Jin army.The rise of the Jin army was very rapid, and it quickly destroyed the Liao Dynasty and seized a large amount of military supplies.The real golden army, when fighting, often wears iron armor, and there is more than one layer.A layer of iron armor and a layer of leather armor are very common.

In the face of stalemate in battle, Jin Jun often wears the most armor according to his physique.As long as it can be worn on the body and can be moved, the more armor on the body, the better.Even after putting on the armor, it is difficult to move, and you can't do slightly complicated movements, as long as you can hold the gun.

With such an army, bows and arrows are useless.On the battlefield, it is like a moving mountain.Their soldiers are connected one by one, and they will not fall halfway because of the exhaustion of a certain man.The two sides fought hand-to-hand, and it was difficult for ordinary swords and guns to break through the armor of the Jin army.Jin soldiers are especially able to endure hard work, which is conducive to long-term battles.In this era, whether it was the Song Dynasty or the Khitan, almost none of them could stop the frontal attack of the Jin army.

Wang Xiaohun tried for a long time, and finally found that the long ax was the most suitable for elite troops.There is a sharp point in the front, which can be stabbed like a gun.The ax has a blade and can cut like a knife.Most importantly, the ax is heavy and can break through heavy armor like a mace.Even if Jin Jun used armor to protect every pore of his body, he could still be seriously injured if he hit his body with an axe.

Xiao Haohu's army naturally wouldn't wear such heavy armor like the Jin army's fine tax, and the Khitan people didn't have that kind of combat habits.As soon as he fought against the armored longaxe soldiers of the Song Army, he immediately failed.The soldiers in front were knocked down, and the formation became chaotic.

In the blink of an eye, Song Jun turned his defense into an offense and pressed up.Xiao Haohu who was behind saw it and was taken aback.After fighting for so long, this is the first time I have seen such a powerful Song army, and my own army can't resist it.Hastily ordered Ming Jin to let the army retreat.

Shao Ling let out a sigh of relief.This golden army is not as powerful as I imagined.As long as you can defeat them, you don't have to be afraid of them.If you can't break through your own formation, what's the use of having more troops on the opposite side?
