Extra Story 153 Death Gao Qiu scare away the living Wushu 6
June 22, evening.
The summer in the northeast is long and the night is short. Although it is already evening, the sky is not dark at all. The sun is still hanging in the air, emitting endless light and heat, as if witnessing the final battle of the First Song and Jin War that later generations call it the final battle!
The cool breeze with a salty smell from the sea swept across the narrow Fuzhou Peninsula, dispelling the afternoon heat. On the battlefield of Jiashangu, the cool breeze makes people feel very comfortable.
And countless sharp blades and blunt weapons that reflected the gentle evening sunlight into a terrifying cold light flashed on both sides of the front line!
I don’t know if I was in a hurry, so today the two armies that were facing each other on the Jiashangou battlefield were moving very quickly. Especially on the Jin soldiers, there were four thousand households, more than 30, Meng'an, more than 300, and more than 80,000 soldiers and deputy soldiers. In just a little more than half an hour, they roughly completed the lineup and deployment.
The fastest reaction was Wanyan Alu as the governor of the throne. The seven Mengans under this 10,000 households were placed on the right wing of the Jin army, facing the left wing of the Song army that was deployed on the Monkey Stone Mountain.
The troops under Wanyan Alu were the first to set up a large camp. After a little sorting, they immediately launched a attack on the left wing of the Song army.
Perhaps it was because he felt that the Song army commander had a new devastating moment and his retreat was "fallen", so people would be unstable and would not have the will to fight. Therefore, Wanyan Alu, who was determined to avenge his good brother Wanyan Alu, could not wait for the entire army to complete the formation, so he ordered a Bohai Meng'an and a Wei Meng'an under his command to launch a rush together. At the same time, he also ordered two Jurchen Meng'an soldiers to ride light armor and detour to the side of the Song army's battalion.
Four Meng'ans, the company's main soldiers and auxiliary soldiers dispatched a total of more than 10,000 people. Just attacking the Bohai Sea from the front, Wei Jiashi, the soldiers from the Song army camp, had nearly 6,000. These six thousand Jin soldiers formed a square array based on the Mouke. The ones in front of the square array were all hard army soldiers wearing two layers of heavy armor, holding various long-handed weapons. Behind the hard army soldiers were Alixi's auxiliary soldiers, although their equipment and martial arts were not necessarily bad, because these auxiliary soldiers were the nephews of the main soldiers, not cheap meat shield cannon fodder, and had the opportunity to get better equipment. Now these Alixi's soldiers did not carry long-handed weapons, but carried bows and arrows, shields, and maces that could be used with one hand.
These Bohai Sea and Wei Jiashi were promoted forward in an orderly manner under the command of Chief Mouke and Chief Pu Nian.
Maintaining formation is not easy for tribal soldiers who are united by soldiers, farmers (parents and animals), and those who do not distinguish between infantry and cavalry. These soldiers from the bitter and cold land in the north emphasize personal courage rather than collective strength.
In addition, in the more than ten years since the rise of the Great Jin Dynasty, Jin soldiers rarely fought large-scale infantry formation battles with their opponents. After all, the battlefield of the Liao and Jin clashes was too vast and relatively flat, which was very suitable for cavalry. The Khitans were a nation dominated by nomadic people, and the Khitan army was almost all cavalry, and it was impossible to defeat them by infantry.
Therefore, the Jin soldiers of this era mainly fought on horseback, and occasionally dismounted and played guest appearances in infantry.
Since dismounting and fighting is just a side job, then queue training will naturally be careless.
However, the Jin cavalry's queue was pretty good at this time. Whether it was a kidnapped horse or a Tiefutu, it could charge dozens or hundreds of cavalry groups. And it was not degenerated to the point where it needed to tie the war horses together with iron chains to maintain the queue.
Today, he was pushed to the battlefield of Jiashangou, Bohai, and although the Shiwei and Jiashi did not go through a strict queue, the Jin soldiers also had a way to maintain the team on the battlefield. This method was to take a few steps, then stop and organize the team, and then continue to move forward.
Therefore, the more than 30 infantry and military formations on the battlefield formed two large horizontal teams in front and back, and stopped and pressed towards the Song army camp five or six miles away at a very slow speed.
Behind these two large horizontal teams are three Jurchen Meng'an, who rides horses. One of them is also given iron armor, which seems to be the famous Iron Pagoda cavalry. The other two cavalry Meng'an is a light armored and unarmed cavalry.
Wanyan Alu himself did not lead the Tiefutu himself, but stood under his own tooth flag and recognized flag under the escort of a group of crutches.
The one who guarded the left wing of the Song army was an army commanded by Gao Jingang (Dong Jingang), and the number was the Second Army in the camp. Faced with the Jin soldiers who were divided into two groups, Gao Jingang and his brother Gao Luohan also divided the work.
Gao Luohan led a general infantry and a general cavalry out of the camp. Among them, the infantry generals were dismantled into four, and four battalions and one level square formation was deployed on the left side of the camp, blocking three paths passing through low mountain bags. The cavalry generals were also divided into four parts, scattered behind the square formation composed of infantry in units of battalions.
Gao Jingang commanded the remaining three generals and an lieutenant general to guard the long trenches and fence lines.
Gao Jingang dismantled the four generals in his hand into two formations, forming two front and back lines of defense. The first line of defense was unfolded against the wooden fence. The infantry placed four or five feet tall long wooden shields behind the wooden fence and formed twenty shield walls. Behind each section of shield wall was a team of 100 people.
The second line of defense stood on the mountain, and used a horse-resisting rifle and a large cart to seal the hillside. An infantry general, half of the horses and half of the walking central army generals listed sixteen horizontal squadrons on several hills, and about twenty counterweight slats were placed on the top of the flat mountain bags.
Gao Jingang climbed up a high-level watchtower, holding a thousand-mile mirror, looking around and observing the enemy situation.
Below the platform was a group of personal soldiers who were sending orders, the flag bearer, the drummer and the trumpet master, and the staff Ji Yi, who all stretched their necks and waited for Gao Jingang's orders.
Gao Jingang had no orders to issue now, but just muttered in a low voice: "Don't shoot arrows, don't shoot arrows when the Jin thief reaches the edge of the trench before shooting!"
The trench he mentioned was just twenty steps away from the front of the fence. It was narrow and shallow, and the inside was clean, without water release, and there was no wooden stake or broken knife or gun at the bottom of the ditch. Therefore, the Jin soldiers could rush directly over without filling the trench.
The trench was clean, but many pits were dug on the inside and outside of the trench, and many small caltrops were sprinkled. If you step into the pit or step on the caltrops, it would be enough.
Someone among the heavily armored Jin soldiers who were advancing slowly had already fallen into the trap and the caltrops. They either suddenly became half short or sat on the ground and screamed with their feet in their arms!
The commander and general (battalion general) commanded behind the Song Army shield formation about thirty steps ahead of them were about to see this scene and finally issued an order: "Bow and arrow!"
The lingering sound of the command was still echoing, and behind the Song army's shield formation, a sound of metal gang collision suddenly sounded!
Hundreds of wooden feather arrows flew out and passed through the gaps in the wooden fence (and some were nailed directly to the wood without passing through). The Jin soldiers and soldiers who were slightly blocked by the pits and caltrops were all shot into arrows!
At the same time, the archers listed behind the divine arm archers also began to slash the bow and shoot the feather arrows. These archers were all guest stars of spearmen and axe soldiers. The divine arm archers of the Song army camp were also equipped with sword cards, which could fight in close combat.
Although arrows were raining, there were not many Jin soldiers who fell down with screams, and they were all wearing heavy armor!
Even if the wooden feather arrow shot from the divine arm bow can break through the armor they are wearing, it will not have much strength. It is easy to hurt the flesh, but it is difficult to cause fatal injuries.
However, the Jin soldiers who were eating the pain were not afraid at all. Instead, they roared, regardless of the pit or the iron caltrops, and even wanted to form a formation. They just screamed and moved forward!
Ali Xibing, who was following the Jin soldiers, took out the Jurchen stair bow and began to shoot feather arrows at the Song army's shield formation in waves.
In terms of lethality of the Jin soldiers, the bows and arrows of the Jin soldiers are naturally not as good as the wooden feather arrows shot by the Divine Arm Bow, but the density is much greater. Because the Jin soldiers are now taking the initiative and can make key breakthroughs in a certain section of the Song army's battle formation, although their total strength is not much greater than that of the opponent, the number of Jin soldiers at every location where fierce battles occur!
Just as the left wing of the Song army began to fight with the Jin soldiers, a ten thousand Jin soldiers commanded by Wanyan Boji, the son of Wanyan Xieye, also completed the unfolding and began to flow towards the right wing of the Song army like a tide.
Unlike the tactics of Wanyan Alu's division of troops, the terrain on the right side of the Song army camp was narrower and not suitable for detours, so Boji simply concentrated his troops to attack the front of the Song army. The square formations formed by infantry and moukk were almost formed together, forming a huge square formation, rolling towards the 10th Army of the camp commanded by Lu Qian and Lin Chong.
The dense rain of arrows quickly landed on the right wing of the Song army's battle formation!
Fierce battles are in full swing on the battlefield of Jiashangou!
"Check the fried pot!"
Niu Gao's order was not loud. The officers and soldiers lined up in four columns behind him silently took out the fried pot from his backpack that looked like a bottle of wine. This was Ma Kuo's first trump card! However, the number was limited, and each soldier had only one in his hand, which was very precious!
It was already early morning on June 23rd. Fires surged into the sky on the battlefield of Jiashangou, and the sound of killing sounds spread to the ears of the soldiers of Niu Gao who had completed the detour. Everyone was extremely excited because they knew that their raid was probably successful.
There were not many Jin soldiers guarding the rear route, and they were also distributed on Niujiao Mountain, Anzi Mountain and Baji Mountain. This was clearly aware of the Song army launching a raid from the sea. However, Ma Kuo sent thousands of infantry troops, and walked around the mountain road for dozens of miles and reached the foot of Anzi Mountain for a long distance!
Of course, if there were no pot-fried, it would be impossible for only a few thousand Song army infantry to capture Han Chang's camp standing on Anzi Mountain. But now with pot-fried pot-fried, Han Chang's traitor soldiers are waiting to "get to the pot"!
Chapter completed!
