The struggle of the reborn prince

The unexpected appearance of the cavalry of the Golden Army was a great threat to the assault battalion of the Song Army that had just stood still, and also disrupted the battle plan. Form a dense firepower net to block the Jin army's attack.But the assault battalion had no defense depth, and there was a high earth wall behind it, with no danger to defend and no fortifications.

And at such a short distance, even if the horses cannot charge at full speed, it is still a great threat to the infantry equipped with firearms. Once the firepower stops, the horses will come to them and squeeze them. There is no room for maneuver.Facing the enemy cavalry who rushed up regardless of casualties, the assault battalion used the weapons in their hands to the extreme, but it was still difficult to resist the approach of the enemy cavalry, giving them the feeling of shooting the enemy's forehead.

Under the cover of the cavalry attack, the enemy army quickly assembled and rushed to the breakthrough. The soldiers of the Jin army knew that without the cover of this earth barrier, they were no opponents of the Song army at all. This wall was their amulet. If the army is expelled and the gap is blocked, he will be a dead end.Therefore, the Jin army's counterattack was extremely fierce and tenacious, and it could be called a successor.

The situation became more and more critical. From time to time, soldiers in the formation fell to the ground with arrows, and the firepower weakened accordingly.Bordan had no choice but to shrink his wings, concentrate his forces on the breakthrough, and prepare for hand-to-hand combat, even if he died, he would defend it.At the moment of life and death, the second echelon rushed up. They passed through the gap newly opened by the engineers, the ladders erected, and even the human ladders built with flesh and blood, quickly crossed the earth barrier and rushed into the earth city to join the battle.

The Machine Artillery Battalion of the Third Brigade, which had left the city before the war, also joined the battle at this moment.They use rapid-fire guns to deal with the enemy attacking from the front, and use mortars to lob the stone catapults hidden behind the earth barrier to suppress firepower.After a fierce battle.The offensive troops of the third brigade stabilized the breakthrough, but the Jin army did not collapse, but retreated to the second line of defense, using low walls and earth barriers to resist the Song army's attack, and the two sides fell into a stalemate for a while... …

"What are the first and second brigades waiting for? Why haven't they started attacking yet!" The fight in the northwest corner was in full swing.However, there was no movement in the northeast corner, which was the main attack direction, and Bao Gang jumped anxiously.

"Our fourth brigade is going up!" Sun Hong, the commander of the fourth brigade, said, and now the four commanders of the third brigade have all gone up.However, under the tenacious resistance of the enemy, it was difficult to break through for a while.

"It's useless for you to go up. It can only increase the casualties. Now all the trebuchets in the Tucheng are shooting at us. The arrows are dense. If you go up and put them in a place as big as a palm, you can't open them. Let them be their targets!" Bao Bao Just said angrily.

"What the hell are the two of them doing? Do you want to see our jokes?" Sun Hong and Bao Gang looked at each other wonderingly, wondering what Dou Jun and the others were waiting for and why they didn't act.

"Don't care about them, I'll lead people back to the west to attack the Jin army's flank, and our two brigades will flank them!" Sun Hong observed for a while and said.

He saw that all the enemy troops in the city had pressed to the northwest corner, and the third brigade was fighting hard.Progress was slow, and he saw weak enemy fire to the southwest.And the sky is about to dawn, and now we can take advantage of the opportunity that the enemy army is attracted by the third brigade, use the last sliver of darkness to covertly engage the enemy, and open up another attack surface.Sun Hong ordered the [-]st Battalion of the [-]th Brigade to lead the troops around to the southwest corner of Tucheng, use the [-]nd Battalion to make a feint attack from the west to attract the enemy, and use the [-]rd Battalion to covertly detour from the enemy's flank, preparing to launch a fierce charge against the enemy.

An hour after the battle started, the sky turned pale. In the northeast of Tucheng, which had been silent for a long time, gunfire rang out like a gust of wind and rain. The first and second brigades finally launched an attack on the enemy.This sudden blow caused the Jin Army's Tucheng to be thrown into chaos immediately by the enemy, and they responded in a hurry, but they were not in a hurry.The first brigade quickly broke through the Jin army's defense line, entered the city from the northeast, and advanced deep into the defense of the enemy.At this time, the fourth brigade attacking from the west also took advantage of the enemy's chaos to launch a strong attack, breaking through the enemy's flank defense line in one fell swoop, and directly penetrated into the center of the city.After the four brigades of the Song Army launched their attacks one after another, they immediately formed a situation of advancing from east to west, putting the defending enemy in a pincer attack from front to back.

But why didn't the first and second brigades move just now?It turned out that this was Zhao Yong's decision.He deliberately let the attack of the third brigade confuse the enemy, and let the enemy throw all their troops and weapons to the north. When the enemy found out that the real main attack was on the east, it would be too late to adjust their troops.This is the "one point, two sides" tactic mentioned by the emperor. The so-called one point means to concentrate superior forces in the main direction;

The [-]st and [-]nd Brigade of the Lion General quickly achieved a breakthrough and quickly advanced in depth. Zhao Yong ordered them to intensify their attacks in order to disperse the enemy's forces and firepower and support the [-]rd and [-]th Brigade's attack in the west.Soon, they also sent out a signal of a successful breakthrough, and then the battle turned into an attack on the enemy's core offensive, and the two sides began to compete inch by inch.At this time, the enemy's trebuchets were basically destroyed, and even the surviving ones were completely useless in close combat, while the Song army's artillery faced the terrain like a military formation transformed by the Jin army and the muddy water and logs. It is also difficult to take advantage of bunkers and low walls, and it is easy to accidentally injure one's own people.

As a result, the entire battlefield became close combat. The Song army all attacked on foot, and each group was divided into two combat groups. Two people held shields and short spears to cover them in front, and the middle two held lances to provide them with cover. , and at the same time throw grenades to kill hidden enemy troops when encountering complex terrain.Each combat group spreads out the distance to fight, reducing the casualties under the enemy's dense arrow rain.

In this kind of close-range melee, the cold weapons of the Jin army were also no match for the muskets in the hands of the Song army. They were driven out from behind the low wall used to hide themselves, and were driven around by the Song army, falling one by one on the guns. under the mouth.During this period, the Golden Army camp also sent troops out of the camp for reinforcements. The leopard generals cruising outside the camp quickly attacked and outflanked the left wing.

Seeing that there were reinforcements, the Jin army in Tucheng also launched a counterattack, but was quickly defeated.The Song army who broke into the first core position carried out a brave assault. The troops were divided into multiple lines to intersperse and divide, cutting the enemy into several pieces, disrupting the enemy's entire defense system, continuously compressing the enemy's defense line inward, and gradually eliminating the stubborn enemy.The fierce offensive and defensive battle lasted for more than an hour. Under the effective attack tactics and superior force of the Song army, the Jin army guarding Tucheng was finally annihilated, and the soldiers pointed directly at the Jin army camp...

Da Tubuye saw that Tucheng was captured by the Song army and more than [-] soldiers were wiped out and could do nothing. He was anxious and regretful.What is urgent is that the camp is surrounded by the Song army, and it is in danger after losing the protection of Tucheng; what is regretful is how I was blinded by lard, and I was dizzy by the bowls of soup from Wushu. Just promise him to stay in the camp?

"Deputy Marshal, the Song army has pushed the artillery up, what should we do? Let's break through!" Just as Da Tubuye was upset, his pro-army commander Su Lide hurried into the tent and said, this is the one who attacked with fireboats that day The one who escaped from death in the Song army fleet became a hero in the Jin army, and was promoted by Da Tabuye to be his own army commander, equivalent to a commander.

"What else can we do in this situation?" Datuo Buyechang said with a sigh.

"Deputy Commander, the Song army is about to attack, so you have to make up your mind!" Su Lide said.

"I wanted to lead everyone to fight for some wealth, but it turned out that I harmed you and the people!" Da Tu Buye smiled bitterly. He knew very well in his heart that the Jurchens were not Song Jun's opponents, and the Grand Master was scared He ran away, and he was not Song Jun's opponent, and the result of the fight was death.

"Deputy Marshal, I once heard from the soldiers of the supervising army that the emperor Zhao Er of the Southern Dynasty came to Pingzhou to conscript himself. The emperor issued several imperial decrees to recruit the grand master to return to the army. The grand master and the others are probably..." Su Lide whispered.

"The deputy commander-in-chief of fart is a scapegoat!" Da Tu Buye became angry when he heard it, and said bitterly.

The matter became clear at once. Wushu led the former army and said that he was going to explore the road, but he never returned. The supervising army said that the grand master was besieged in Xichuan. Xijing, let yourself stay in the camp.Based on the analysis of the current situation, they must have discussed to withdraw their troops a long time ago, but they were afraid that the Song army would pursue them, so they let themselves pretend to be a large army to attract the attention of the Song army in Xijing, and serve them as cannon fodder. up.From the beginning to the end, the Jurchens did not regard him as their own person. The reward and wish were just coaxing themselves to work for them, but they kept such an important matter from themselves. Fortunately, they still wanted to be loyal to Da Jin!

"Deputy Commander, no matter what you think, we Bohai people will listen to you!" Su Lide leaned forward and said.

"Oh, what do you think?" Da Tu Buye heard the overtones and asked with his face turned.

"Hehe, the deputy commander transferred the remaining Jurchens to Tucheng to defend, and left our people alone to defend the camp. Are we also guarding against them?" Su Lide said with a smile, but there was a hint of disdain on the corner of his mouth "After Zhao Er ascended the throne, the Kingdom of Jin suffered repeated defeats and repeated battles, and the civil strife continued. As things went from bad to worse, it may be difficult to resist the attack of the Southern Dynasty now. We Bohai people have fought for the Jurchen for many years, but we have come to such a result. Lowered the Southern Dynasty!"

"Can the Southern Dynasty accommodate us?" Da Tabuye really wanted to preserve his strength, so just as Su Lide said after taking over, he transferred the remaining Jurchen Ten Thousand Team to Tucheng for defense. What he is now facing There are two ways to die or surrender.

"Deputy Marshal, Gao Li once betrayed Song Dynasty, but Zhao Er didn't stand idly by when something happened, but sent troops to help regardless of past suspicions. At least he is more benevolent and righteous than Jurchen. It can be seen that Zhao Er is still tolerant and will not embarrass us. Yes!" Su Lide said... (to be continued...)
