Manchu traitor, how can you let me be the emperor of the ages

Chapter 306 Tragic battlefield, three insurances

The enemy is approaching fiercely, obviously they are not going to let the frontier soldiers run away so easily.

"Fire arrows!"

The generals on both sides gave orders at the same time, and arrows flew out of the camps of both sides and fell into the opponent's formation.

Whether it was the cavalrymen of the Kingdom of Jin who were chasing them, or the soldiers of the frontier army who were crossing the river, people screamed and fell from their horses one after another.

However, such a large-scale confrontation did not last long, and the two sides gradually fell silent.

Just because they must not carry too much luggage during the thousands of miles of pursuit, the arrows they shot just now are already their last stocks, and now they have nothing to shoot even if they want to shoot.

Just relying on the skill of archery just now, Jin Bing has successfully caught up with the frontier army's buttocks, and started to fight.

In an instant, the two sides had already fought together, and the sound of fighting was louder and louder.

The long knives and spears in the hands of the Dagan frontier soldiers shot out, hitting the golden soldier who had no armor at all, leaving a bloody hole, with broken limbs flying from time to time.The scimitar in Jin Bing's hand was also unambiguous, and it drew arcs in the air, rolling heads, taking away the lives of many sergeants.

But looking at the overall situation, the frontier army has gradually fallen into a disadvantage.

They fought while retreating, and the number of them was getting smaller and smaller. In addition, Weihe River was behind them and there was no way to retreat. Many people were squeezed into the river by Jin Bing's charge and his teammates.

Fortunately, Jin Bing's bows and arrows are basically used up, otherwise all the frontier soldiers who fell into the river would have been reduced to living targets.

"Let your people shoot arrows!"

Qin Hui stood on the top of the wall, glaring at Zhao Kuangyi who was beside him: "General Zhao, now that the Jin soldiers have caught up, don't you hurry up and shoot arrows to cover General Wu and their retreat?"

Now Zuo Weiwei is on the other side of the river, and the Jin soldiers on the other side are within their range!

But Zhao Kuangyi still refused to give an order. What if the golden soldiers were shot and they were frightened, and those people dared not come over?
"Qin Xiang, there are not only Jinlu, but also my big frontier soldiers!"

Zhao Kuangyi spoke righteously and sternly: "At this time, the two sides are fighting inseparably. If the last general orders Zuo Weiwei to shoot arrows, wouldn't it hurt those frontier soldiers?"

Qin Hui gritted his teeth when he heard that, he really wanted to tell Zhao Kuangyi the reason for giving up, but now he was on the battlefield, and in front of so many soldiers and generals, his intuition told him that such words were not appropriate.

The fierce fighting didn't last long. There were fewer and fewer frontier soldiers on the other side of the river, and the rest retreated onto the bridge and rushed to the south bank.

But the cavalry of the Kingdom of Jin also fought with them. The two sides had already fought hard to distinguish you and me, and they were mixed with each other. Naturally, they also followed and killed on the bridge at this moment...

Wanyan Bo is the son of Wanyan Zongpan, and also the grandson of the current King of Jin, Wanyan Sheng.

It stands to reason that with his honorable status as the emperor's grandson, he would not be sent to take risks in the territory of Daqian, but Jin Wang Wanyan Cheng has a lot of sons, and Wanyan Zongpan also gave birth to a lot of sons, He, Wanyan Bo, is just the eldest son of Zong Pan. It sounds like he has a high status, but in fact he is just like that...

And different from the inheritance system here in Dagan, on the grassland, many times, it is not the father who dies who succeeds the son, but the brother who dies.

Just like the previous generation of Jin Wang Wanyan Aguda, who passed the throne to his fourth brother after his death, the current Jin Wang Wanyan Sheng is the same.

But this system went wrong at the moment. Inspired and influenced by various factors, Wanyan Sheng didn't want to pass the throne to his younger brother, or pass it back to A Guda's lineage. He wanted to leave the throne to his eldest son— — Wanyan Zongpan.

The clan members of Aguda's line naturally disagree with this.

Wanyan Aguda's sons Wanyan Zongqian, Wanyan Zongwang, Wanyan Zongbi, etc. are all first-class plotters and generals, and they hold a pivotal position in the Jin Dynasty, making it difficult for the Jin King's plan to succeed.

In recent years, the two sides have been fighting openly and secretly. Even the southward offensive is not as simple as it seems on the surface. There are considerations and games between the two sides...

"Continue to cross the river!"

With his beard and hair all stretched out, Wanyan Bo thrust the scimitar back into his waist with a roar, raised the longbow from the horse's back, bent the bow and mounted an arrow, and shot down a large group of cavalrymen who were crossing the river in one fell swoop.

The surrounding golden soldiers were already ready to move, but now they heard the commander's order, they couldn't bear it any longer, and rushed forward one by one.

Until this moment, several seasoned golden generals standing beside Wanyan Bo spoke out to persuade him.

"Lord Buli, there are still so many soldiers and horses on the other side of Qianren, and I am afraid that rushing there now will not be able to please."

"It's obvious that the purpose of being a dry man is to lure people into... into that tank. It's better to just stop here and go back to have a round with the Marshal..."

The generals around were chattering, and only a few supported Wanyan Bo's decision.

A flash of anger flashed in Wanyan Bo's eyes, after chasing for so long, he was set aside by those big frontier soldiers just now on the road, causing them to be thrown away so far.

If he just went back in such a disheveled manner now, the military order he had issued earlier would definitely not be able to be done. By then, his two uncles in name might not be merciful...

"The Qianren frontier army is at the end of its strength. As long as I wait to rush over, not only will I be able to slaughter these defeated soldiers, but I will also be able to wipe out all their reinforcements!"

That being said, Wanyan Bo is not a complete idiot to have survived the intriguing Jin Kingdom court until now. How could so many soldiers and horses cross the river with only a few small bridges?

"Send scout horses again to check out places where the water is calm, and the army is ready to cross the river!"

His confidence lies in the [-] cavalry he brought.

On the day Jin Guo broke through Yanping Town, the [-] frontier troops in the town did not suffer too much loss. Instead, they formed an formation under the leadership of Wu Sangui and marched southward.

But in the process of running, there were continuous losses, and now there are only more than 30,000 left, which is far behind their big gold.

And most of the soldiers and horses under the city ahead are infantry, even if Wanyan Bo can't beat these people, can't he still run?

Their mobility is high, so whether to fight or withdraw, the initiative is in their hands...

Wanyan Bo's order had been handed down for quite a while, a large number of golden soldiers rushed across the river along the three bridges on the river, biting the buttocks of the Dagan frontier soldiers, and some were already testing the depth of the river, trying to directly wading across the river...

On the top of the wall, Zhao Kuangyi stared down with all his attention and held his breath.

Even Qin Hui, who had always opposed his opinion, stopped making trouble, but reminded: "General Zhao, the Jin soldiers have already found an opportunity to cross the river, don't let them catch a loophole."

"They are all cavalry, can they still come and attack the city?"

Zhao Kuangyi sneered, expressing his disdain for the futile actions of these golden soldiers.

Seeing his confident look, Qin Hui almost spit out a mouthful of old blood.

He also knows that cavalry are not good at attacking cities, but the premise is that all your soldiers and horses must be in the city. If they find a chance to cross the river and block you out, you won't even cry.

Qin Hui paused for a moment, then asked again: "General Zhao, the cavalry that was cut off just now led the Jin soldiers upstream, if they bump into them, can the people you send to block the river and dam be able to stop the Jin soldiers?" people?"

Under Qin Hui's supervision, Zhao Kuangyi made three preparations.

One is the trebuchet on the city wall, and the other is the explosives buried in the bridge. Even if both of them have accidents, they still have the last insurance, which is the temporary dam blocked by giant logs and rolling stones in the upper reaches of the Wei River. .

When the Jin soldiers crossed the river, as long as the upper reaches pulled away the stones, the long-accumulated water would inevitably rush down with the force of a torrent, engulfing the driftwood, and instantly turn the Jin soldiers on the river on their backs, killing and injuring them all. Cut off their way across the river.

And whether they took the opportunity to annihilate the golden soldiers left on the shore, or took the opportunity to retreat into the city, they had enough time to react.

"Qin Xiangda needn't be so worried."

Zhao Kuangyi suppressed the disdain in his eyes, and said to himself that these civil servants are more courageous than mouse eyes. He waved his hands and said, "No matter how many golden soldiers there are, they will never come back!"

The more frightened he was, the more hopeless Qin Hui felt, but right now he had no soldiers in his hands, so Zhao Kuangyi, a reckless man, could do whatever he wanted.

This also made Qin Hui feel more uncomfortable and urgent. He stared closely at the figure of Wu Sangui below, with a look of anxiety in his eyes, wishing that he would fly up now.

Only when Wu Sangui joins in and stirs up conflicts between the two sides, can he rely on the power of these frontier troops to check and balance Zhao Kuangyi. At that time, he, the right minister in charge of the military affairs, will be the target that both sides will fight for...

Instead of being ignored by the bastard Zhao Kuangyi as nothing like now.

"beat!!"

While Qin Hui was contemplating, he was suddenly startled by Zhao Kuangyi who was beside him.

But before he could say anything, the sergeants behind the two started to move, pushing the catapults to the front of the city.

The command flag in the hands of the messenger waved, and the left guard below also got the order, and began to shoot arrows at the golden soldiers crossing the river and the golden soldiers on the other side of the bridge.

The golden soldiers also noticed the change on the top of the city, but they had dealt with the city defense device like the trebuchet countless times in the past few months, so they naturally understood how touching the accuracy of this kind of thing was.

Few people would think that a stone falling from above would hit their head.

Only the generals of the golden soldiers in the rear faintly realized what was going on.

Wanyan Bo opened his mouth, wanting Mingjin to make the soldiers and horses in front retreat temporarily, but he couldn't ignore his own words just now.

If you retreat now, wouldn't you be slapping yourself in the face?And what about the military order issued by Wanyan Zongbi?
But in his heart, he had already begun to regret his order to pursue.

"Master Buli, there seems to be something wrong with Ganren..."

Several generals of the Jinwang family looked suspicious and tried to persuade them.

On the other side, although the generals of Aguda's line also saw the problem, most of them showed hesitation on their faces and did not speak out directly.

If he fell into the trap of Qianren, many soldiers would be lost, but Wanyan Bo's prestige would definitely be further weakened, and people would be even more disappointed with him, the eldest grandson of the Golden King...

The opportunity waited for no one, and when they were hesitating, the soldiers on the city wall had already finished their preparations, and huge boulders flew out of the city wall and smashed straight towards the three bridges.

100% hit, no misses.

Before the bridge was built that day, Zhao Kuangyi had someone push a catapult to the city wall and shoot it at the river to determine the location, and then build the bridge where the stone hit.

It can be said that this is not hitting the bull's-eye, but shooting first. Wherever the gun hits, the bull's-eye is drawn. It would be strange if there is a deviation.

After the test shooting that day, Zuo Weiwei drew a circle with limestone on the position of the trebuchet, and pushed it up and put it in the circle to shoot today, which perfectly reproduced the situation at that time.

"Withdraw! Withdraw quickly!!"

Wanyan Bo shouted hoarsely, and hastily called out to the messengers around him, telling him to call the gold quickly.

But it's too late now, if you cry after seeing the coffin, don't you need to go in?

How can there be such a good thing in the world?
As huge boulders flew down continuously and fell on the bridge, the dense golden soldiers on the bridge suffered the heaviest and most tragic blow at once!
If it is scratched a little, it will be missing arms and legs. If it is unlucky to be hit head-on, it will even turn people and horses into a lump of meat, and there is no way to leave a whole body.

More importantly, the boulder will not stop after hitting someone, but will continue to roll and bounce on the bridge, continuing to kill and injure the cavalry behind.There is no need to hurt them, as long as the legs of the horses are broken, and these cavalrymen fall off the horses, they will surely die under the trample of their colleagues.

For a while, Jin Bing's screams lingered incessantly, and the three bridges seemed to have turned into a hell on earth!
What's more, the bridge under the feet of the golden soldiers also began to crumble under the impact of boulders, and the sound of broken wood continued to be heard!

"Kill! Kill this general!"

Zhao Kuangyi stood on the top of the wall and shouted. If he could run down to kill the enemy himself, then his words might be more convincing.

But that's enough for now. If you want to gnaw hard bones, then everyone may still hesitate.But if you want to fight with the wind, beat the dogs in the water, and earn military merits, then whoever hesitates is a bastard.

"kill!!"

Zuo Weiwei below put all his energy into killing him, not caring at all that the opponent was cavalry.

The biggest advantage of cavalry over infantry lies in its mobility, followed by the huge impact carried by cavalry when they charge head-on.

However, now that these Jin Kingdom cavalry are backed by the river, they can't charge up at all, so what's the point of fear?
On the other side, Wu Sangui and a group of frontier generals also witnessed this series of changes with their own eyes. It is impossible to say that they are not shocked at this moment.

It has only been a dozen breaths since the deployment on the top of the city was launched, but in such a short period of time, the situation between the two sides has almost reversed.

The originally insolent Jin Guo cavalry suddenly became a drowning dog, and the six 7000 people they rushed across the bridge all became lone troops!
They are all veterans who have been in the field for a long time, but they all reacted after being stunned for a moment.

"Surround and suppress these thieves immediately! Don't let one go!!"

Wu Sangui immediately shouted, no matter how tired or tired he is at this time, he must not fall down, he must follow and suppress these golden soldiers!

The other generals also ordered their subordinates to rush forward with their eyes shining, not to mention anything else, these golden soldiers are all military exploits, and they are their hope of atonement!

Just when everyone was about to charge, there was a loud click from the river, followed by the sound of plopping and splashing into the water.

A bridge has already been smashed...
