Fenghou

Chapter 618

Chen Qing drew out his battle sword and shouted to the [-] soldiers: "Since Jingkang, the Jurchen cavalry has broken through our homeland, the court has been annihilated, the people's homes have been destroyed, our parents have been massacred, our wives and daughters have been humiliated, the shame has left us Two generations have been shouldered, but today we stand up, let us use our swords to seek justice for our departed relatives, let us wash away the shame with the blood of the Jurchens, brothers, raise your swords, let the heavens testify, this war Must win! Must win!"

"This battle must be won! Must be won!"

The shouts of anger resounded across the field, and the soldiers of the Song Army were boiling with enthusiasm. Thirty-six thousand swords were raised to the sky, forming a sea of ​​cold light under the sun.

The morale of the Song army was like a rainbow, but the Jurchen cavalry was deserted and there was no enthusiasm. The Jurchen cavalry was obviously shocked by the opponent's momentum. Each soldier had complicated expressions in his eyes, thinking about his own fate.

Wanyan Huonu narrowed her eyes, he could see Chen Qing, and indeed they met on the battlefield, he knew very well that this might be his last chance, in the future Chen Qing would become more and more powerful, and he would no longer lead the army to fight in person.

He immediately ordered to the left and right: "Order Commander Pucha Asawan to fight against the enemy's left flank, and order Marshal Hu Shidabie to take the lead in attacking against the enemy's right flank. I will concentrate my superior forces to annihilate the Song army's main formation!"

Wanyan Huonu drew her sword and shouted, "Beat the drum and attack!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The earth-shattering sound of war drums was the order to attack.

Hu Shidabie, the leader of the left wing, waved his mace and shouted, "Attack!"

Ten thousand Khitan cavalry and Xi cavalry rushed out suddenly and charged towards the enemy formation. The Hexi people also resigned to their fate. There are a thousand knives and axes behind them to supervise the battle. Once they escape back to Qizhan, they will be beheaded by the knives and axes.

What's more, if they were killed in battle, their family members would also be changed to civilian status, and they would be granted the status of civilians in the Kingdom of Jin. Anyway, they would die if they advance or retreat. In contrast, they would rather be shot and killed by the arrows of the Song army.

The dense horseshoes hit the ground, dust was flying, and the ground was trembling. Ten thousand cavalrymen swept towards the Song army like a flood.

Liu Cui's army went out first, and his army began to deploy quickly. Five hundred soldiers launched five hundred bed crossbows, aiming at the galloping enemy army. It can only be shot once, and the battlefield cavalry is so fast that there is no time to reload it for a second shot.

Behind the five hundred soldiers are [-] spears. These spears were seized from Yichuan County and Wuren Road. Entering the ground, this is also the traditional tactics of the Central Plains army, using spear arrays or carts to offset the most powerful first wave of impact of nomadic cavalry.

At the same time, behind the spear array, [-] cavalry raised their crossbows together, waiting for the enemy to approach.

The left-wing cavalry of the golden soldiers gradually approached, and when they entered five hundred paces, Liu Cui shouted, "Fire arrows from the bed crossbow!"

Five hundred soldiers knocked down the hanging knives at the same time, and [-] jackdaw arrows shot at the galloping enemy army extremely powerfully. Hundreds of soldiers running in front turned their backs one after another, and many horses behind were tripped and fell one after another. Rolled to the ground.

In the running of a group of war horses, once they fell to the ground, they would almost die, especially when tens of thousands of war horses were running, the fallen men and horses would be trampled into flesh, and no one was spared.

After firing a round of crossbow arrows, the five hundred soldiers of the Song Army immediately dragged their bed crossbows across the dense array of spears and rushed to the rear of the army regardless of the result.

The [-] jackdaw arrows directly or indirectly caused the death of nearly [-] enemy troops, but the Khitan and Xiren cavalry were not affected in the slightest. Once thousands of horses galloped, they would not be able to turn around and could only accept their fate Running forward without slowing down, if you are a little negligent, you will be knocked over by the horses behind you.

The enemy's forward cavalry was getting closer and closer. At the same time, the Jurchen army's center and right-wing cavalry also launched at the same time. They were also experienced, and they launched only a little later than the forward army.

However, the central army and the right-wing cavalry did not attack frontally, but surrounded the Song army's target in a left and right arc.

"God arm crossbow ready!"

Liu Cui yelled, the first drum sounded, and ten thousand soldiers raised their god-armed crossbows with a [-]-degree oblique angle, aiming their cold arrows at the galloping enemy troops.

The enemy's striker had reached the lethal range of [-] paces, "Shoot the arrow!" Liu Cui shouted again.

The second drum sounded, and the [-] soldiers in the front were the first to release arrows. Three thousand crossbow arrows rose into the air and shot at the galloping enemy army. The arrow hit the fallen horse.

The [-] cavalrymen in the middle also fired crossbow bolts, and the [-] cavalrymen in the rear also fired powerful crossbow bolts. Ten thousand crossbow bolts shot into the enemy group like a storm, and the enemy cavalry fell one by one while running. The military ranks gradually became thinner.

It is impossible to count the specific number of casualties, but it can be seen from visual inspection that at least [-]% of the casualties are.

The cavalry of the Song army did not continue to shoot. They hung up the crossbows and took out the short spears to prepare for the battle. The [-] spears in front of them flashed coldly. They were preparing to deal the final blow to the Khitans. They could not escape the spear array , can only bump into it abruptly.
Getting closer and closer, one hundred steps. Sixty steps. Thirty steps. Song Jun could already clearly see the other party's face distorted by fear.

The Khitan cavalry running ahead screamed in fear, but they couldn't stop. They were surrounded by a huge force and charged towards the spear array.

With a sound of "boom", the horses and cavalry crashed into the spear formation, and the sharp spears pierced through the bodies of the horses and cavalry, and blood burst out in an instant. The impact abruptly knocked three big gaps into the spear formation, and the cavalry behind were able to break through the formation.

"kill--"

Liu Cui shouted, and the [-] Song troops suddenly mobilized to kill the [-] cavalry who broke through the spear formation.
Chen Qing also ordered coldly: "Order the whole army to attack!"

"Woo-woo-"

The horn sounded to attack, and Chen Qing shouted, "Follow me!"

"Kill ah-"

Five thousand of the most elite Huben army and one thousand scout army followed Chen Qing to kill the main force of the enemy army.

Wanyan Huo Nu shot at Chen Qing with an arrow while she was galloping. Chen Qing swung Fang Tian's painted halberd and sent the cold arrow flying, staring at Wan Yan Huo Nu coldly. The opponent's general, prompting the enemy's defeat.

At the last moment, the cavalry on both sides rushed forward to protect the coach from being hit by the cavalry.

The one rushing to the front is Lu Gui, the deputy commander. He is a veteran general who joined Chen Qing's army in Linyou County. Mature, martial arts more powerful, he is currently the deputy commander of Chen Qinghu's army.

He swung his long-handled copper hammer, 'Crack!Snapped!Snapped! He smashed the heads of the three enemy horses, but his horse was also killed by the enemy horses. The powerful impact knocked Lu Gui into the air, but the copper hammer did not let go.

The soldiers on both sides screamed, dozens of people were killed on the spot, "Lu Gui, are you dead?" Chen Qing asked loudly.

"Humble jobs are not dead!"

Lu Gui has rough skin, thick flesh, hard bones, and heavy armor. It is not easy for him to die.

"Follow me if you're not dead!" Chen Qing swung his halberd to stab him diagonally.

"Damn it, I don't want to die, even the King of Hades can't take me away!"

Lu Gui leaned on the handle of the hammer and struggled to stand up. He felt that his internal organs were churning. He resisted the discomfort, grabbed a war horse, got on the horse, and followed Chen Qing to the thickest place of the enemy army.
