I am Da Song

Chapter 29 Flesh and Blood Mountains and Rivers

Although more than two hundred officials from the imperial city of the Song Army lined up densely on the bridge deck, with spears like forests, Xuanjia shining in the sun, and Zhu Qi in the sky.

However, the cavalry of the Jin army still rode their horses vertically and horizontally, blocking the wall and advancing, vowing to repeat the glory of breaking through thousands of miles of rivers and mountains in the Song Dynasty and crushing all the Song troops into powder.

The iron cavalry of the Jin Army has the capital of arrogance, even the emperors and ministers of the Song Dynasty knew that "the captives only favor cavalry".

The core troops of the Kingdom of Jin, the Jurchens of the direct line, were organized into cavalry.Therefore, every soldier who can be selected into this cavalry is a person who must be healthy, Li Meilun, etc., can ride and shoot well, dare to attack strong enemies, and disrupt the public.

Not only are the soldiers brave and good at fighting, but also the cavalry of the Golden Army are extremely well-equipped.

Therefore, the battle between the Jin army and the Song army is very similar to the knight masters attacking the demoralized serf troops in the same period in Europe in the Middle Ages.How could it not be victorious?
Leading this elite cavalry is Qianhu Guolu under Nianhan's account. This Qianhu has always been known for his bravery and daring in battle.

In history, Guolu tried to molested Concubine Zhu and Empress Zhu successively, and then rode the same horse with Empress Huanhuan even more boldly.

His character is bold and reckless, and he didn't take it seriously when he saw the Song army forming an array.He yelled: "The southern barbarians are a group of soft bones, rush over and kill them all. Then rush into the inner city, rush into the palace, and ravage their delicate imperial concubine casually!"

As the two sides approached, the iron hooves roared, and the golden man charged even more swiftly and relentlessly.

The Imperial City officials who were guarding the bridge took a deep breath one after another, stood still, raised their spears, and rows of cold spears stood like a forest.

Wang Zongguan roared from behind: "String up the bow and crossbow!"

As the order was issued, the Song army's arrow array was once again arranged. Rows of god-arm bows were leveled, hundreds of longbows were drawn like a full moon, and the dense arrows reflected the coldness of the forest under the fluttering snowflakes. shine.

The snowflakes are falling, this battle cannot be delayed for a long time, the outcome depends entirely on this battle!

As the Jin army approached, time seemed to be delayed at this moment. The Song army could already smell the pungent smell of the Jin people, and the Jin heavy cavalry could clearly see the frightened expression of the Song army. Everything was so clear. , every detail is revealed.

Until a roar broke the terrifying silence before the battle.

"Fire arrows!"

In the next moment, the Song army's crossbows were thundering, and all the soldiers would fall.The middle horse pierces through the belly of the horse, while the middle man wears heavy armor.

Before the Jin army could even get close to the Baokangmen Bridge, they suffered heavy losses. More than a dozen of the bravest heavy cavalry were directly shot down, and the momentum of the Jin army's charge was stagnated.

But it is wishful thinking to think that this level of casualties can curb the Jin army's charge.

Wu Lin, a famous anti-gold general, summed up the four advantages of the Jin army: "Cavalry, toughness, heavy armor, and bows and arrows".

The tenacity of this cavalry far exceeds that of countless other armies of this era.Jin Junzhong even bluntly said: "If you can't fight more than a hundred rounds, what is the horse army!"

So after suffering a round of crossbow arrows, the Jin army reorganized its formation while continuing to charge the Song army.

"Archers shoot arrows!"

The Jin army kept charging, and the Song army also continued to shoot arrows. A large number of archers fired in volley, and the arrows were like locusts.Although the lethality of the bow and arrow is not as good as that of the god arm bow, it can directly penetrate the golden man.However, a large number of armor-piercing cones were shot between the golden man's chest and abdomen, penetrating several inches into the body, which was equally fatal.

The golden cavalry fell down one by one, Guolu was furious, his eyes were blood red, and roared: "Come on! Go! Go! Don't let these southern barbarians surrender, crush them all, and torture them to death! "

"Defense! Hold your ground!" Wu Ge also shouted as the Jin army approached.

The majestic and burly imperial city officials lined up neatly, densely packed with spears, and the Song army stabilized their formation on the bridge, like a thick steel Great Wall.

The next moment, the golden army's iron cavalry struck across, the horses screamed, the spears collapsed, and the two armies collided, as if the sky was falling apart.

But what happened next caused the entire city of Tokyo to cheer.

The thick army formation of the Song Army is an unstoppable steel barrier at this moment. Hundreds of imperial city officials in heavy armor are lined up densely. The formation is more than ten feet thick, which is thicker than the Great Wall. Any flesh and blood can shake.

More than a dozen cavalrymen from the Jin army crashed into the spear formation of the Song army, as if a war horse had crashed into the wall of the Great Wall.

In the era of cold weapons, no matter which country, the formation of cavalry must be sparser than that of infantry.If the formation is as dense as the infantry, the cavalry doesn't even have room to move around.

And if the room for maneuvering and turning is lost, the cavalry is deeply trapped in the infantry formation, and everyone has to face attacks from all directions of the infantry.

For example, at present, Qianhu Guolu of the Jin Army thought that a single attack could disperse the Song Dynasty defenders.So the cavalry rode directly onto the bridge, crowded and blocked on the bridge.

If you rush forward, you can't break through the Song Army's steel formation, and you can't turn around and attack afterward.Some people were even squeezed directly under the bridge and fell into the cold and hard Caihe Valley Road.

The Great Song Dynasty followed the policy of strong cadres and weak branches, and the Imperial City Division selected elites from the Imperial Guards, who finally lived up to Zhao Huan's expectations and became the mainstay of this battle, turning the tide and blocking the Jin army's charge.

The Jin army's cavalry was stopped at the bridgehead, and the Song army immediately launched a counterattack.

Bows and crossbows from both wings fired a volley, arrows and rocks rained down, and the Jin Guo iron cavalry crowded on the bridge had no room to dodge. The situation was close to a massacre.The body of the dead Jin Jun was even covered with arrows from all directions, and a large number of horses fell to the ground, with broken arrows and broken spears stuck in their bodies.

The pattering blood pooled into a river, continuously flowing into the river from both sides of the bridge deck, and the piers of the bridge were even stained red with blood. The soldiers and civilians in Tokyo who looked at this place from afar could see the blood red under the Baokangmen Bridge.

"Officials! Officials! A big victory! Our army won a big victory!" Wang Zongmian, who brought the imperial equipment, ran behind Zhao Huan and reported excitedly.

Hearing that Zhao Huan finally stopped hammering his arms and moaned, he only felt pain in his arms, as if it was no longer his own.

Wang Zongmian hurried forward, took the drumstick from Zhao Huan, and helped Zhao Huan to turn around and look into the distance.

The setting sun in the sky was like blood, and snowflakes were fluttering in the sky. In the city of Tokyo, dozens of Golden Army cavalry were covered in blood and fled backward in embarrassment.

After the cavalry, a large number of infantrymen of the Jin army who attacked the city were routed and scattered, covering the long street in darkness.

Since the golden army besieged Tokyo, after many days, this situation of panic and flight finally appeared again!
Everyone seemed to see the bright dawn, forming the impression that the inner city was unbreakable.

When Zhao Huan rubbed his arms in pain, thinking that the battle was over and he was about to go down to the city and return to the Forbidden City, to spend time with the peerless empress.

Outside the city, suddenly the sound of mountains shouting shook the world.
