I am Da Song

Chapter 50 The sound of war drums resounding in Tokyo City

As the two major powers in the eastern land today, both the Song Army and the Jin Army have extremely high strategic execution capabilities today.

Needless to say, Song Jun's intentions, Zhang Shuye and Liu Fan will transfer the Yuqian Armament Station to the inner city at all costs.The ownership of the armory will greatly affect the outcome of the war.

After Liu Fan personally led the army to guard the long street, Zhang Shuye didn't say much, but said solemnly: "May you take care and return safely."

Then Zhang Shuye led the remaining 500 people to quickly go west along the street. The group of people had to travel westward for about four miles before they could see the Yuqian Armory on the south side of West Street.

Don't think that if Zhang Shuye didn't fight, the trip would be safe. In fact, in terms of the degree of danger, the 500 people are still higher than Liu Fan.

The imperial armory is really too close to the periphery, close to the southwest corner of the outer city.Whether it was the south wall of the outer city or the west wall of the outer city, once the Jin army above went down to the city, they might launch an offensive against Zhang Shuye.

A possible enemy is more difficult to defend against than an apparent enemy.

On the other hand, the Jin army's attitude is also extremely firm, and it is bound to destroy the Song army that is fighting out of the city.

This Song army must not be allowed to disrupt the Jin army's plan to massacre the city.

The Jin Army has limited troops and cannot massacre the city on a large scale. This has caused the Jin Army to actually walk on thin ice.The troops dispatched can only wipe out the soldiers and civilians in Tokyo one by one.

Guozijian and Taixue are the areas where the military and civilians in Tokyo have the strongest will to resist. The Jin army must wipe them out tonight, and then burn them all to ashes.In order to achieve the purpose of hitting the morale of the military and civilians in Tokyo.

At this critical moment of massacring the city, if the Song army attacked from behind, the Jin army who was burning and massacring the city would suffer heavy losses.

The general who commanded this golden army was not a Jurchen, but a Khitan named Yelu Huaiyi.

Don't underestimate him just because he is a general from the Liao Kingdom. It is conceivable that he can lead an army alone among the talented generals.

In the Battle of Taiyuan, Yelu Huaiyi once defeated Liu Guangshi, who was later known as the fourth general of Zhongxing of the Great Song Dynasty, and destroyed tens of thousands of Song troops in the first battle.

With Yelu Huaiyi's illustrious martial arts and record of defeating tens of thousands of Song soldiers, if the Song soldiers leave the city with more than [-] soldiers, he will pay more attention.

But there were only a thousand soldiers in the Song Army, and Yelu Huaiyi didn't take it seriously at first.He came with 300 troops, but in the first wave of offensive, he only dispatched [-] soldiers.

This is by no means Yelu Huaiyi underestimating the enemy's carelessness. For this kind of veteran general, it is very clear that soldiers must be cautious in the important affairs of the country.

In this kind of hand-to-hand street fighting, 300 people is already the upper limit that the army can deploy.Continuing to increase troops will not have any effect except to increase the thickness of the formation.

When two elite infantrymen meet, the key lies in the courage to fight.Swords, shields, spears and halberds intersected, the sound of killing shook the sky, and smoke and dust rose everywhere.Whichever army cannot bear the fear of casualties and collapses first, will be defeated.

Today, the bravest and toughest army with the longest blood is undoubtedly the Golden Army.

Summarized in the words of the generals of the Song Army, the Song Army and Xixia fought, but once they entered the battle, the outcome was decided.This is the lack of blood, and one battle can determine the world.

But when it comes to the Jin people, they won't chase after victory, and they won't be chaotic when they lose. The whole army will be in the rear, and they will advance and retreat.

In the past, the Song army and the Xixia army were evenly matched, that is, the level of barely fighting.The Liao army was slightly stronger than the Song army and weaker than the Jin army.

But it is obvious that with Zhao Huanjun's visit to Wanfang, the military discipline of the Song Army was completely abolished.It is not easy to jump to conclusions on whether the army can be strictly organized, but it has become the consensus of the entire army that "if you are cool, you will die".

Everyone has no way out, either stick to their positions or die in Tokyo, there is no other choice.Therefore, the Song army could only fight to the death.

There is not much difference in appearance between the Khitan people and the Jurchen people compared to the Song people, especially against the background of raging flames, these Hu people coming from the direction of the fire are all thugs who have poisoned Tokyo.

Liu Fan stood under the banner and shouted, "Drum!"

Because it was a street battle, the enemy did not have cavalry raids, so Liu Fan ordered the Song army to line up the Liuhua formation, which is the arrow formation.

When the first drum sounded, the soldiers holding the flags moved forward and lined up in a neat row. In front of the entire army, a row of fluttering red flags fluttered in the air.

Immediately afterwards, the four teams behind all set up their crossbows and stood still.

Yelu Huaiyi, who was supervising the battle at the rear, saw the scene of the red flag fluttering, and a light flashed in his eyes, keenly aware that this Song army might be different from the past.

The next moment, the passionate and majestic drums of the Song Army sounded in the cold and gloomy Tokyo city.

Amidst the sound of drums, countless figures who had curled up in the darkness came out from corners everywhere.

Everyone heard the continuous and high-spirited sound of war drums, and the Imperial Guards were fighting bloody battles!Da Song is fighting against the Hulu!
Every hero in Tokyo, scholars, even women, children and children felt a sense of energy boiling in their chests, and blood burning in their hearts.

The fact is as the common people thought, when the first drum sounded passionately, the second group of soldiers behind the Song army's flag-bearing soldiers moved forward, and followed the command of the drum to gather arrows and shoot.A drum is a volley, three arrows in a row.Then retreated, the three teams stepped forward, and recurred three arrows.The drumbeat ended, and the four teams greeted the front team.In the next reincarnation, Zhang and re-entry.

The war drums are continuous and the crossbows are continuous.

This is the culmination of the art of war in the Song Dynasty and the crystallization of civilization technology.

The Song army stood on the mountain and did not move in front of the formation. When they shot in groups, they all died.

If this set of tactics replaces the sacred arm bows in the hands of the soldiers of the imperial army with muskets, the "Wu Jing Zong Yao" can even directly provide the Eastern army with a set of army drills for queuing and shooting tactics.

This array of arrows was originally intended to deal with the Hulu who rode bravely. Although they rode vigorously, they could not gallop, so the Rong people feared it.Back then at Shaxiong Ridge, the plantation division relied on this powerful arrow array to repel the attacks of the Golden Army's iron cavalry.

Now this set of tactics was used on the infantry in street fighting, and the Khitan infantry who were advancing in formation suffered heavy losses immediately.

Even if the Khitan soldiers raised their shields, they couldn't stop the continuous rain of arrows. The shields were shattered, the armor was pierced, and a large number of Khitan soldiers fell in a pool of blood.

After the three-way drum passed, the terrified Khitan soldiers no longer wanted to stay in the queue to die, and some people raised their knives in despair and rushed towards the Song army's arrow formation.

These soldiers were the most miserable, and the soldier who rushed to the front was especially miserable. The first arrow from the God Arm Bow hit his left thigh, and the powerful crossbow arrows could even penetrate heavy armor, let alone his leg bones.

The moment the crossbow arrow hit, the soldier's left leg broke, and the posture of sprinting forward changed to throwing himself down, but he was still in the air.Three crossbow arrows pierced through his chest, and the shafts of the arrows brought out a lot of flesh and blood, and his whole body was blood red.

Suffering such trauma, he has no chance of surviving, but his consciousness still remains, he has not died completely, and he can still feel the severe pain in his body.In the next moment, more than a dozen arrows came densely, piercing his whole body.There are dangling arrow shafts in the eye sockets, throats, kidneys, lower abdomen and even knees.

At this moment, no one can know how much pain he has experienced.Because he and all the Khitans who charged bravely behind him were shot into hedgehogs.

More than 50 of the most brave and skilled fighters died on the battlefield, and the remaining more than [-] people were defeated in a panic.
