Song Dynasty

Chapter 98

Good luck tricks people, and fate is cruel.

Wang Shen had to admit that he was scared.His body was shaking slightly, and his hands were so cold that there was no warmth.

His heart was miserable, looking at the Sizhou Army soldiers standing beside him blankly, it seemed that someone was stabbing him with a knife.

So many young faces were collected bit by bit from Jiangbei by myself.They trust me and believe that my invincible general can lead them from one victory to another and survive in this troubled world.

But today, because of my wrong decision, I want to take them away and want to die.

Wang Shen, oh Wang Shen, you have been dazzled by your fame and wealth and your ambition, and you want to take shortcuts by relying on the foresight of the time traveler to play with history.But I don't want to, history can crush you to pieces with just a slight movement of a finger.

It's useless, run away, maybe you can save a life.

However, on such a chaotic battlefield, once the troops dispersed, they could never gather again.Everything I've tried, everything I've fought for will be in vain.

Jiankang, Jiankang is about to fall, Anniang, Anniang, what should you do?
What about the more than 20 Jinling people?
Probably when the well-organized Sizhou infantry group was discovered, the Jurchen horses began to accelerate and approached continuously.

"Ah, it's over, it's over!" When did the officials in Weizhou see such a situation, they shouted at the same time and were about to disperse.

Suddenly, a person jumped up, and the knife in his hand fell fiercely, chopping the person who escaped the fastest to the ground.

It was Du Shu with a livid face, this good old man finally showed the hidden strong side of his character.He stopped all the officials with a bloody knife horizontally and cursed: "No one is allowed to leave, pick up the spears on the ground and set up an formation. Straight lady thief, the soldiers have been fighting all night, and they have no strength. It is time for us to contribute. Yes, at least we can make up the number of people. Damn it, I don’t see you shirk when you get money, and you want to run away when there is a war. There is no such cheap thing in the world.”

"Everyone present, who has no family members or friends who died under the enemy's knife, now the Lord is here, and it is time for me to wait for revenge."

"Don't worry, my Sizhou army is number one in the world, and the worst thing is to win this battle."

Hearing his shout, all the soldiers of the Sizhou Army, who had killed the sex, remembered the hatred of the country and the family in their hearts, and at the same time waved their weapons and shouted: "Sizhou Army, number one in the world. The Tartars are coming, General!" , give the order!"

The civil servants didn't say any more, they each picked up a spear and walked into the formation.

Looking at the resolute faces of the soldiers, Wang Shen suddenly felt ashamed.

In the distance, the enemy cavalry continued to advance, and the speed began to increase.

There are kidnappers on both sides of the east and west.

The essence of Jurchen essence.

Mr. Wang was very lucky. It was his first time confronting the Tartars, and he encountered such a formidable enemy.

He took a deep breath, slowly raised his right hand, clenched his fist, and shouted with all his strength: "The enemy is nothing special, yes, if we win the last game, we can win this one. You believe in me as the commander , I believe in you too. Don’t worry, our dead relatives are standing behind us, expecting me to avenge them. Let’s use all our strength later, even if we die, we still have the face to meet them! "

All around, there was a loud response.

"Sizhou Army!"

"Sizhou Army!"

"Sizhou Army!"

A month of arduous training finally paid off. In just an instant, the Sizhou Army laid down a thick infantry phalanx.

The enemy is cavalry, and in this era, the Jurchens' highly mobile cavalry units have always been the nightmare of Song Dynasty infantry.His cavalry is divided into light and heavy. The light cavalry is the team of kidnappers in front of him, and the heavy cavalry is the famous Iron Buddha.

In a large-scale battle, the tactics of the Jurchens are also simple to say.First, they harassed repeatedly with the kidnapper horse Qingqi, which made it impossible for the Song army to arrange a defensive formation calmly.When the main force is close, dismount the Iron Buddha and attack head-on.

If the Song army is still in chaos, the heavy armored infantry behind will follow up.

In this way, light and heavy cavalry plus heavy armored infantry attacked sequentially.Usually by this time, the Song army has completely collapsed.

The rest is simple, and the kidnapper horse is dispatched again to pursue the victory.

With such a simple tactic of coming and going, they fought all the way from the northeast to the Central Plains, destroying the two behemoths of the Liao Kingdom and the Northern Song Dynasty.

If the Jurchens had a full range of troops today, Wang Shen might turn around and run away immediately. This is no longer a battle, but pure death.

However, the terrain in front of us seems to be favorable to the Sizhou army.The place where the Sizhou Army set up their formation happened to be on a small open space on the official road, surrounded by rice fields.Although the crops in the field had been harvested as early as three months ago, the wet weather in the south of the Yangtze River made the soil in the field look soft, and the criss-crossing field ridges greatly restricted the impact of the light cavalry, so there was no need to be afraid of their detours outflank.

Jiangnan has never been a battlefield where large groups of cavalry gallop across.Taking the real history as an example, when Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, Zhang Jun, Kong Yanzhou and others wiped out bandits such as Zhongxiang and Yang Yao in the south, they rarely dispatched cavalry.Instead, relying on the navy and infantry, one by one water fork, one by one mountain to compete.The Ta Bai and You Yi armies under Yue Fei's command only became famous when they were in Zhuxian Town.

This time, Wang Shen gathered his soldiers and the phalanx they arranged was also very simple.In the front row is Lu Can's divine arm crossbow formation, and behind the crossbowmen are Gu Lie's sword and shield soldiers.At the end, there is a spear protruding forward.

Soldier and soldier close together, ready to fight.

The sky is already bright, and the snow is even bigger and has become a white snow fog, which makes the scene in front of it hazy.

The Jurchens obviously don't pay attention to the infantry squad of the Sizhou Army with more than a thousand people in the area. These cavalry who have never experienced defeat are extremely arrogant when they go into the charge. Arranging in a loose formation, moving forward in a leisurely manner, like strolling in a courtyard.

Perhaps, for them, the army of the Song people in front of them did not pose any threat at all, as long as they let their horses pass by later, they would break up and flee.

……

"The enemy is two miles away from me."

……

"The enemy is one mile away from me."

……

All kinds of gongs and drums in the Sizhou Army sounded one after another, just like in training on weekdays.

"Hold on, hold on!" the officers shouted in voices hoarse from the night's fighting.

"Attention, attention!"

"Prepare to meet the enemy."

……

After entering one mile, the Jurchens had already entered the range of the Song Army's bow and crossbow.At the same time, they also entered the optimal distance for the horses to accelerate and charge.

Suddenly, their loose team leaned towards the middle suddenly, like a sudden flash flood, wrapping countless rocks and giant trees, and crashing headlong with a loud roar.

The horse speed was put to the maximum, the ground began to tremble violently, the accumulated water on the ground rippled, and the water vapor floated on the surface.

There are only [-] war horses, and they are as overwhelming as Mount Tai.It sounds like, in that kind of unprecedented national war, tens of thousands of cavalry on both sides of the enemy and us confront each other, how majestic it is.

When Wang Shen and Chen Lanruo led the cavalry to attack the old camp of Li Yuzhong's army, they won very easily.At that time, he was still contemptuous of the incompetence and cowardice of the Jinan army. The 3 or [-] soldiers could not even support a few hundred cavalry, and they died unjustly.

At this moment, as an infantryman, he became the attacked party, and only then did he feel the power of the cavalry group conflict on the battlefield of cold weapons.

Five hundred riders is not much to say, but when it is spread out, a huge frontage about 300 meters wide is pulled out, and a large area is covered with blackness, giving people the illusion of being hit by a dump truck.

Personal strength appears so weak under this kind of impact.

Breathing is difficult.

500 meters...

400 meters...

300 meters...

All the Jurchens clamped their feet tightly to the horse's belly, and their bodies were suspended in the air, with only their feet on the stirrups.The heavy long weapons in their hands have been drawn out, and their bodies heave up and down with the galloping horses. 500 people are like this, it is simply a raging wave.

There are people and angry horses in front of them, and the white gas from the mouth and nose is connected in the air.You can't see anything in front of you, it's pitch black, except for the thunder that the horse's hooves accumulate, which reminds you that the enemy will rush into the infantry formation in the next moment.

Such a huge coercion made the soldiers around Wang Shen couldn't help trembling slightly. Some spit profusely, some subconsciously squeezed the barrel of their guns, and some's legs trembled unknowingly. Even the officers shouted. With vibrato.The boy of Sizhou Army who has been tortured and numb by the day after day of hard training, and who is still fighting bloody all night, is also unavoidably afraid in front of the enemy cavalry.

The Jurchen Qingqi first lined up in four rows and pushed forward like a comb, but after discovering the Sizhou Army, they began to speed up gradually, and the team gradually gathered while running at high speed.At this moment, they were sitting on horseback with weapons in both hands, as if they had become one with the horses under them.Riding like this is so clever that it makes one's scalp tingle.

In modern society, Wang Shen would go to the Jockey Club for two laps every week, thinking that even in the Song Dynasty, he could be considered a qualified knight.Compared with any enemy in front of him, he is just a novice.

Can't wait any longer, if you wait for a while, the Sizhou Army will collapse because it can't bear this pressure.

Wang Shen shouted: "Lu Can!"

"Dah!" More than sixty God Arm bows fired at the same time, and the sound of the bowstrings was only one sound.

The maximum range of the divine arm bow can reach [-] steps, and the effective killing distance is [-] steps.

The first salvo fell into the enemy cavalry without any suspense. Wang Shen's eyes followed the feathered arrows in the air, and his heart tightened.

With the power of the powerful crossbow of the Song Dynasty and the enemy's light cavalry with thin armor, this distance is enough to shoot a transparent hole in the enemy's body.Especially when ten thousand crossbows are fired at full force, it is like laying out an insurmountable steel fire net in front of the formation.

However, Wang Shen didn't have so many crossbowmen under his command.Moreover, the reason why the militaristic artifact such as the divine arm bow is so powerful is because it has a complicated structure of levers and pulleys.Because of this, it needs careful maintenance on a daily basis.When things like machines have complex structures, they are prone to problems.After a night of bloody battle, a small part of the God Arm Bow was already unusable.

With such a weak force, is it possible to arrange a curtain of arrows in front of the formation?
