Chapter 298 The Surprise Attack of Lou Shi!

The camp under Wu Lin's headquarters was located in the west of the Song army camp in the west of Wulahai City, facing the open land with a flat and flat land on the south bank of the Yellow River. The large cavalry of the Jin Kingdom just rely on the cover of the night to hide in the grass two thousand steps away, and then blocked and covered it with a large group of crutches to prevent the Song people from exploring their existence.

The Jin soldiers had two purposes for hidden in the dark for more than two hours.

The first is of course to paralyze the opponent, which made the Song army mistakenly think that the main force of the Jin army had retreated. In the eyes of Wu Qimai, Lou Shi and others, the Song army was circling from the fork in the Yellow River, and in the middle, they fought with Wanyan Xibao. The army led by Wanyan Zonggou had no rest after arriving at the city of Wulahai, and was busy building camps and forts. It was impossible not to be tired.

This kind of tired teacher is not much when his spirit is tense, but once he relaxes, he can't drive away any more fatigue... At least the two old men, Wu Qimai and Lou Shi, think so.

The second purpose of letting tens of thousands of golden soldiers wait for two hours in the dark is to wait for the early morning - usually the early morning is the time when the sleepiness is strongest, and it is close to dawn, which is the best time to launch a night attack.

Beat the enemy under the cover of darkness and catch it off guard, and then when the enemy wants to escape, it is already bright!

Now is the darkest time before dawn, and in theory it is also the time when the exhausted troops of the Song army are extremely tired.

The first assault wave of the Great Jin Army was launched at this time!

As the invading Jin soldiers gradually approached the piles of bonfires outside the Song army camp, the Song army was finally able to see their scale clearly.

The troops dispatched by the Jin people launched an attack from the west, north and south at the same time. However, the number of people invested in all directions was as small as the number.

The focus of the first wave of attacks by the Jin soldiers seemed to be on the west side of the Song army camp.

The east side of the Song army camp was facing Wulahai City, and the artillery was also in this direction, which was of course the focus of the Song army's deployment of troops. And the west side of the Wulahai City, facing the east side of the Song army camp, and its vicinity, was not used as a starting position for the night attack of the Jin soldiers because it had been bombarded by the Song army before.

Therefore, during the first wave of offensives of the Jin army, no troops were arranged to attack the east of the Song army camp.

The north of the Song army camp was next to the Beihe River in the Yellow River. The water level of the Beihe River in this area was not deep and the water flow was not fast. It was not the season for abundance of water, so it was possible to cross the river. However, it was not very convenient to launch an attack through the river. Therefore, in the first wave of offensives of the Jin people, there were not many troops in the north, only two thousand people.

However, the movement was quite serious. They beat drums and shouted again. They even dismantled the twelve twelve twelve twelve twelve twelve twelve twelve twelve twelve twelve twelve twelve twelve twelve twelve twelve twelve twelve twelve twelve twelve twelve twelve twelve twelve twelve twelve twelve twelve twelve twelve twelve twelve twelve twelve twelve twelve twelve twelve twelve twelve twelve twelve twelve twelve

Of course, these fried pots were not accurate at all, and most of them did not even touch the edge of the Song army camp.

But it still caused quite a lot of noise... It made people know at a glance that it was a feint!

Since the Jin army in the north was a feint attack, and there was no starting position for the Jin people to use in the east... Then the main attack direction of the Jin people should be in the west or south.

Judging from the situation of the first attack wave launched by the Jin people... the west side of the Song army camp seemed to be their focus on attack.

In this direction, just the first wave of attacks, the Jin people invested as many as six or seven thousand! Not to mention that there were even more densely, the rumbling sound of hooves sounded behind them. Standing at Wu Lin’s position, looking out, the Jin people’s cavalry and the Jin people’s cavalry that surged out of the darkness were almost endless!

The 2,000 combat soldiers under Wu Lin were responsible for guarding the right wing west of the Song army camp. This side was divided into two wings, with two infantry generals being responsible for defending each.

Because Liu Wu discovered the coming enemy in time, Wu Lin's troops were well-trained and had high morale. Therefore, before the Jin cavalry arrived, they had already relied on the camp and launched defense.

The traditional Song army infantry battle formation is usually divided into four layers on one surface, with the horse resisting horse on the first layer, the spearmen on the second layer, the divine arm bow on the third layer, and the archers on the last layer.

However, the Northern Song infantry under Zhao Kai's command had already integrated the throwing troops and the hand-to-hand combat troops... There was no army that was only responsible for archery or throwing pots. Instead, each team (equivalent to a company) had a Divine Arm Bow Row (equipped with a spear at the same time), two staircase Bow Row (one with a spear, one with a knife and axe), and one with a pot Row (equipped with a knife and axe).

When setting up a formation, the formations of four rows (one row, one row), eight rows (one row, two rows) or sixteen rows (one row, four rows) are listed depending on the strength and terrain.

Now, Wu Lin's subordinates have set up a relatively thick eight-row lineup to face the enemy!

However, there were too many cavalrymen in the Jin people, so many that they were almost like the rising tide of the sea, surging in the turmoil... Wu Lin, who was standing behind his own battle formation, had a cold sweat in his hand.

However, the Jin cavalry that came like a tide did not attack the Song army camps, but instead set off their war horses a hundred steps away from the Song army's defense barrier, formed a stair formation, and used shields to open the way, slowly approaching.

The middle-level and grassroots officers of the Song army, Wu Lin and Hua Dalang, knew that the Jin soldiers behind the shield must have earthblocks. After they approached the trench, they would throw the earthblocks out and quickly fill a section of trench that was neither wide nor deep.

Only after the trench is filled, the real fierce battle will begin!

But it is not easy to fill the trench!

Because before completing the filling of the trench, the attacking Jin soldiers had to bear the terrible damage caused by the Divine Arm Bow and the Blasting Pot...

When the Jin man's shield array approached the piles of bonfires outside the trench, the generals responsible for commanding the archers of the divine arm waved the flags in their hands and gave loud orders. Then they heard a sound of thudding in the air with metal tremolo. Countless short wooden feather arrows shot out angrily and rushed straight towards the Jin man's shield array.

Although these wooden feather arrows are powerful, they are not enough to penetrate the large shields in the hands of the Golden Man armor. Therefore, the archers who use the Divine Arm Bow all aimed at the gaps between the large shields to shoot arrows... The density of people behind the Golden Man shield is extremely high. As long as the wooden feather arrow can be shot in, there is no fear of not causing casualties.

However, if you want to shoot the wooden feather arrow into the gap between the large shields, the ultra-long range of the Divine Arm Bow will not have much room to play.

Because the enemy was brought closer, the Jin man archers following the shield also began to shoot feather arrows far away. The archers in the back row of the Song army also raised their long-step bows and began to fight back. The last two rows of the pot throwers in the array also lit the fuse wrapped around the long-handled sword and axe, waiting for the Jin man to rush through the trench... After passing the trench, the distance for the pot to exert its power!

Once the Jin soldiers rushed through the trench, that is, when they launched the final fierce attack... The Song army's throwing pot soldiers did not need to aim at them, just just throwing pots!

Just as the arrows on both sides were coming and going, Ali Xibian, carrying the earthblocks, began to rush out from behind the Jin soldiers' shields, holding the shield in one hand, and holding the earthblock in one arm, and rushing towards the trench like a life-threatening one... As long as they threw the earthblocks in their hands into the trench, they would have completed the task!

As long as you complete a life-threatening task, you can "live for a long time" again... because this life-threatening task is carried by all Ali Xi, Han'er Army and Sheng Tatars.

However, the divine arm archer on the opposite side was happy to harvest the lives of these Ali Xi soldiers, giving birth to Tatars and Han'er Army... However, the Ali Xi soldiers who were shot to death were also valuable!

Their bodies would be pushed into the trench by other Ali Xi soldiers, Tatars and Han soldiers, and become objects for filling the trench!

Although there were considerable casualties, the trenches located west and south of the Song army camp were slowly filled with passages by the corpses of the earth and humans...

......

"Boom boom boom..."

The dense explosion sounded from the west and south sides of the Song army camp and reached a high ground on the north bank of the Yellow River.

The Emperor Wanyan Wu Qimai was at this time, with Lou Shi, the first powerful general of the Jin Dynasty, immediately looking at the firelights around the Song Army camp across the river.

The firelight was mainly concentrated on the west and south sides of the Song army camp, and it was very dense!

Wu Qimai knew that this was a blown out of the Song army's explosive pot... This certainly means that the attacking Jin soldiers were suffering terrible casualties!

It is probably very difficult for the Jin soldiers who were stumbled by the bombing pot to break through the camps guarded by the Song army... However, a cold smile appeared on Wu Qimai's face: "Lou Shi!"

"I'm here!"

Wanyan Loushi immediately drove forward.

Wu Qimai asked: "Are Tiefutu ready?"

"It's ready!" Wanyan Loushi said, "I have prepared 3,000 Iron Pagoda!"

The so-called "Iron Pagoda" is actually an armored cavalry, wearing armor and horse harnesses! Generally speaking, soldiers who can have such equipment must be the most elite soldiers!

Of course, the most elite soldiers cannot only be able to charge on horseback... They can also ride and shoot, or dismount and fight - so in the "East Asian Monster Room", there are no war examples of light cavalry using bows and arrows to teach heavy cavalry lessons, and there are no good things about infantry shooting many iron pagodas with longbows.

"Can you rush over?" Wu Qimai asked, looking at the Yellow River in front of him.

"Can you rush over..." Lou Shi patted his chest and promised, "I have already tried it... I can completely rush over, and the camp built by the Song army leaning against the Yellow River is not strong, and there is not even a trench... Tiefutu can rush directly to the periphery of their barrier!"

Wu Qimai nodded: "Then go! Remember, if you grab the big tube, you will retreat...... and retreat to Wulahai City!"
