Fenghou

Chapter 689 Infantry
In the wilderness fifty miles south of Lingzhou, the Song army finally encountered [-] Jurchen cavalry.

Chen Qing ordered [-] infantry to lay down the phalanx, while [-] Song cavalry gathered five miles to the east, staring at the Jurchen cavalry.

Wuyan Puluhun looked at the Song army's formation from a distance, and it was the first time he saw the Song army's formation like this, with the infantry in the front and the cavalry preparing to attack from the side.

He used to be in Hebei, in the Central Plains, in Jianghuai, and then killed the Yangtze River. He fought dozens of fierce battles with the Song Army, and he has never been defeated. Especially against the Song Army infantry, the opponent was almost defeated by one blow.

If he was only facing [-] infantry, he could completely slaughter the opponent, but the opponent still had tens of thousands of cavalry on the side, which made him a little uncertain.

At this time, Han Chang stepped forward and said, "It's not as good as the Xixia Army and the Congregation Army against the enemy's infantry, and the general against the Song Army's cavalry. This way the chances of victory are much greater."

Wuyan Puluhun was noncommittal about this plan, but he had another idea, let the [-] Xixia army fight fiercely with the Song army first, consume the strength and physical strength of the Song army, and let him understand the Song army Combat strength and details.

As for the life and death of the Xixia Army, Wuyan Puluhun really didn't care at all. He was about to send someone to invite Li Kan, but unexpectedly, Li Kan rushed over.

"General Puluhun, something is wrong!"

Li Kan stepped forward and said anxiously: "The [-] troops left behind in Xiping Mansion have surrendered to the Song army in the city!"

"What?" Wuyan Puluhun was also taken aback. If the [-] remaining troops surrendered, wouldn't their logistics supply be over?
"Is this news true?"

"There is absolutely no problem. Murong Tao has fled back. The [-] troops left behind are all Qiang people. It was Xiao Heda's army before. They have long known that they are unstable. They really should not be used. This is a bad situation."

When Han saw that Li Kan was sweating profusely, he knew that things should not be that simple.

"Is there anything else important, my lord?"

Li Kan said anxiously: "The Song army and the Qiang people joined forces. It is said that there are [-] people, and [-] people are left to guard Xiping Mansion. The other [-] troops went to Xingqing Mansion."

"Ah!" Han Chang was stunned,

Wuyan Pulu frowned, Song Jun's move was really vicious, and he went straight to his lair, he said slowly: "The number should be right, there are about [-] Song soldiers in the city, and it is also a good idea to kill Xingqing Mansion It's reasonable, but it shouldn't be a big problem! Xingqing Mansion itself has [-] defenders, and Dingzhou's [-] troops add up to [-] defenders. It's still an elite army, and the Song army can't shake Xingqing Mansion at all."

"The general doesn't know that Dingzhou is Brother Li Cha's army. He can't wait for the emperor and the prince to die in the hands of the Song army. He can ascend the throne. He will never come to save Xingqing Mansion. Xingqing Mansion has no more than [-] people. There are only [-] troops in the army, and the other [-] people are escorting the Han people to harvest wheat, and I am afraid it will be too late to come back. Only I can save the Xingqing Mansion. I have ordered my son Li Ke to lead an army of [-] to go north quickly. I lead an army of [-] to cooperate with General Puluhun against the Song army."

Wuyan Puluhun suddenly became furious, "Why didn't you discuss with me about such an important matter, and sent troops north without authorization?"

Of course Li Kan knew that Uyan Puluhun would never allow his army to go north, so he cut it first and then played, first let his son Li Ke lead an army of [-] to go north quickly, and then told Uyan Puluhun after making cooked rice.

It's not like Li Kan can't wait for a day. It's Wuyan Puluhun's actions that make him dissatisfied. He forced him to send troops to attack Xiping Mansion, just to understand the situation of the Song Army, and he lost [-] yuan in vain. thousand soldiers,
If there is another battle with the Song army, Uyan Puluhun will definitely let his army fight the first battle, and let his army consume the Song army. This is not a siege, or the entire army may be wiped out. Mirror, see clearly.

"The situation is really urgent. It will take half a day to come and go, so let the army go first. I also believe that [-] Jurchen cavalry will be able to sweep the Song army. You don't need too many Xixia troops, leaving [-] people is enough! "

Han Chang sneered from the sidelines, Li Kan is really cunning, he has seen through Wuyan Puluhun.

"General Puluhun, how about infantry against infantry, cavalry against cavalry, the Xixia army and the Xixia army join forces against the infantry of the Song army, and the general lead the cavalry against the cavalry of the Song army, is that good?"

Li Kan also nodded, "General Han's suggestion is excellent, and I agree!"

How could Uyan Puluhun be led by their noses?
He said coldly: "Chen Qing's commander-in-chief is in the infantry formation, and the infantry is their main force. Your army will defend against the cavalry for me, and I will replace you after I defeat the Song army."

Li Kan and Han Chang looked at each other, asking them to resist the cavalry of the Song Army, didn't they just make it clear that their army would be massacred by the cavalry of the Song Army?

Li Kan said anxiously: "General Puluhun, this is not right!"

Wuyan Pulu looked at him coldly, "If the prince's army is still there, there is room for deployment, but you have transferred the army away, how can I arrange it? This is the only way now, you fight against the cavalry first, I will take over after defeating the main force of the infantry of the Song Army.

Moreover, if Chen Qing's main force is defeated, the cavalry will also retreat. If we can catch Chen Qing, wouldn't it be our great achievement?The Han people also often say, capture the thief first and capture the king first. As the main force, I naturally have to deal with Chen Qing. This is a wise decision. "

Han Chang knew in his heart that Wuyan Puluhun was deliberately making things difficult, throwing the tough bones to them, and he dealt with the infantry himself.

"Since Uyan Puluhun must make such a decision, as the deputy general, I can only accept it, but the general should give the prince an explanation. After all, the prince is the marshal of Xixia, representing the son of Xixia."

Wuyan Puluhun said slowly: "If the prince is not willing to accept my deployment, I will not force it. The prince can lead the army north to Xingqing Mansion. Our [-] troops are enough to kill the opponent!"

Li Kan was speechless by Uyan Puluhun's words, so he could only grit his teeth and said: "Since the two are cooperating, the Xixia Army will naturally obey the general's deployment. We will try our best to resist the cavalry. The bigger picture matters.”

Although Wuyan Puluhun hated Li Kan for sending the army away without authorization, Li Kan also reminded him that if Xixia was really destroyed, the court would never forgive him.

He finally calmed down, pondered for a while and said: "I will send [-] cavalry to cooperate with you to fight against the infantry of the Song Army, [-] kidnapped horses and [-] iron cavalry will be enough!"

Li Kan and Han Chang looked at each other, this is a reasonable arrangement.

Chen Qing erected the commanding flag in the infantry formation, that is, designated [-] infantry as the main force, and fought normally, then the main force of the opponent's cavalry must also come to deal with him.

At this time, a scout rushed to report: "Report to Dutong, the Xixia army is divided into two groups, a Xixia army of about [-] people went north, and another [-] people went south, and the Xixia army joined forces. place."

Chen Qing was taken aback, "Why did they go north? Could it be that Liu Cui's army led them to go north?"

Just as I was about to say, a low-pitched horn sounded from the opposite side, "Woo———"

The sound of the horn resounded across the field, and the [-] Jurchen cavalry began to slowly move south.

Chen Qing also yelled, "Beat the drums, and form a big formation of plum blossoms!"

"Boom-thump-thump-"

The earth-shattering battle drums sounded, and the five large square formations began to shrink and change into a plum blossom-shaped large formation. From five square formations to one large formation, the coordination was stronger.

The first few rows are short spears and large shields. There are also god arm crossbowmen, hook spearmen, firearms soldiers, short spear throwers, and even four-wheeled chariots loaded with small catapults. The soldiers hide in the chariots. Shoot arrows inside out.

Jin Bing's [-] kidnapped horses began to gallop, followed by an overwhelming [-] Jurchen cavalry.

The ground was trembling, the sound of horseshoes was like rolling thunder, dust was flying all over the sky, covering the sky and the sun, and the sky began to become dark.
