Chapter 94 Good boy, share the world!
Zhao Kai didn't know how Han Shizhong was planning to force the Jin thieves to attack?
But he knew that Han Shizhong was still reliable, at least more reliable than his own blind command, so he just nodded and authorized.
"Good minister," Zhao Kai stood up from the chair, stretched his face, pulled out his sword, and handed it to Han Shizhong in front of everyone, "I will give you this sword to you, which means I will give you the full authority to command the battle. If there are any soldiers of the three armies who disrespect the order, they can kill this sword without repaying me!"
No one has ever trusted this! All the civil and military officials present were shocked.
This is a great favor. After Taizu, there seems to be no one in the Song Dynasty who can gain such trust!
Han Shizhong was moved at that time. He wanted to refuse, but saw the determination that appeared in Zhao Kai's tense face. He stood up, walked to Zhao Kai in three or two steps, and knelt down in one go. Then he raised his hands, took the sword, and shouted: "Don't worry, Shizhong will not be humiliating his fate!"
"Okay!" Zhao Kai nodded with a look of iron blood, "Good minister, please direct the deployment first... I walk around and talk to the soldiers with some thoughts!"
After saying this, he waved his hand from Guo Tiannu and Dong Jingang and took them away from the Central Army. He got on horses outside the Central Army's curtain and brought dozens of personal soldiers. Dong Jingang, who was covered in flesh and bearded, captured the flag of "Zhao Kai, Prince of Yun" and followed him closely.
Because Zhao Kai just asked Huang Wuji to perform a brave performance on his behalf, the soldiers in the army now think he is a fierce man. When they see him riding a horse, they openly shouted long live the mountain - he is now "Zhao Sanlang's heart, everyone knows it"!
"Long live! Long live! Long live..."
Amid the cheers, Zhao Kai had already rode his horse to the center of the front of his own array, then turned his horse's head, faced the soldiers, and waved his right hand. One of his personal soldiers took out a horn and blew it hard.
“Woooo…”
After a war horn, the cheering sound gradually stopped and finally disappeared without a trace. On the battlefield, there was only the silence that was both nervous and exciting.
"Everyone, please listen!" Zhao Kai suddenly opened his throat and shouted loudly, breaking the brief silence.
"Everyone listened..."
The personal soldiers behind Zhao Kai were particularly selected by loud voices. Now Zhao Kai said something, and they repeated it together. The voice was very far away, and at least thousands of people could hear it clearly.
"The Jin thieves have invaded the Central Plains, seized my territory, killed my people, plundered my wealth, and overwhelmed my country... Under the iron hoof of the Jin thieves, the world of the Song Dynasty has become chaotic, and the peaceful world has long disappeared!
At this time, this world is a great misfortune for all the people in the world, but it is a blessing for us and other warriors!
In peace, we learn literature and use martial arts in troubled times! Now it is a chaotic time, and it is a martial arts world, so we, the Central Plains warriors, have another place to use martial arts! We, the warriors, can create a wealth of having a wife and a son with all their martial arts!
We are a warrior and are the best men in the world again!
Can you please join the orphan king and kill the thief together, share wealth and honor together, and be the good man in the world? Do you share wealth and honor together?"
OK, Zhao Kai openly declared that he wanted to share the world with the warriors! Although Zhao Kai had long shown that he valued military men and neglected civil officials. However, this was the first time he publicly called out that military men were good men and wanted to share the world with the warriors!
And the matter of sharing the world... is not just a casual talk, but it is related to who the country's economic foundation is in!
The benefits involved in this matter are so great!
Of course, Zhao Kai himself actually lacks understanding of the interests involved in whom he or she is involved in "sharing the world".
He just knew that if the Song Dynasty wanted to successfully resist the Jin Dynasty, it would not be able to share the world with civil servants and officials who could not fight. Otherwise, the Southern Song Dynasty in history would have successfully counterattacked.
But as far as Zhao Kai knows, if the Han people want to restore the world, they have to wait for Zhu Yuanzhang's generation to be good men! Not many of Zhu Yuanzhang's old brothers came to the imperial examination... When Zhu Yuanzhang conquered the world, most of them had no imperial examinations to take the imperial examination, right?
"I'm willing! I'm willing to kill the thief with the king and share wealth and honor..."
"Kill the golden thieves and share wealth and honor..."
The Song army soldiers on the battlefield actually didn’t know how to “common the world” to “common” the law? But they still cheered the loudest!
Seeing that the morale of the soldiers was rising, Zhao Kai was very satisfied, so he drove his horse and continued his speech in front of the formation...
......
"Dongdongdongdongdongdong..."
With a series of war drums that were tighter than a few waves of cheers, the Song army, which had a high morale, began to move forward slowly. Almost five thousand heroes in infantry armor, under the dispatch of war drums, military horns and commands, stepped forward in unison every five steps (each step of the two legs, about 1.5 meters). Although they were moving very slowly, the queue remained intact. From a distance, they saw long spears like forests, swords and axes like mountains, and slowly advanced. There was a little bit of the meaning of "the Xu Rulin" in Sun Tzu's Art of War.
In this era, whether it is to defeat the cavalry or to fight against the infantry, they all pay attention to forming formations and fighting. As long as they keep the formation in shape, even if they encounter an opponent like Tiefutu, they can fight to the death!
Moreover, the more than 10,000 elite soldiers concentrated in Niangzi Pass (there are 2,000 people at Niangzi Pass, and Liu Fu has some elite soldiers. With Zhao Kai's troops, it is not a big problem to gather more than 10,000 elite soldiers). Most of them are soldiers who "carry five battles" (guns, axes, bows and crossbows, knives and hammers, riding and shooting, and horse-riding attack). They are actually cavalry or dismounted cavalry, not real Song Dynasty infantry.
Although their physical strength and courage are not as good as those of the real female soldiers, as long as they maintain the array, coupled with the help of the Divine Arm Bow and the Eight Niu Crossbow, and with enough cavalry (horse cavalry) as support, they can completely block the offensive of a considerable number of Jurchen elite soldiers.
However, it is not enough to let them attack the Jin soldiers who also set up a strong formation.
Therefore, when the Song army advanced like a forest, the Jin soldiers on the opposite side were as calm as a mountain. Whether it was the real female soldiers, the Bohai Erlang, or the Khitan pawns, they were also "multi-purpose soldiers" who were "prepared for N battles", and everyone was equipped with bows and arrows.
The Jurchen bow used by the Jurchen soldiers is particularly powerful, which is a large compound bow. The bow is heavy and has a strong pulling force, and it is extremely powerful when using heavy arrows. After all, it is even more powerful than the Song army's divine arm bow - the divine arm bow is a crossbow after all, and the rate of fire cannot be compared with the bow, and it must be aimed directly and cannot be shot.
The Jurchens' big bows and heavy arrows, coupled with enough number (everyone has them) and the ability of Jurchen warriors in this era to shoot archery will definitely cause the enemy who dares to take the initiative to attack them to suffer heavy casualties... Even if they step into the human armor to protect themselves, it will be difficult to resist the dense heavy arrows launched by the Jurchens' big bow at close range!
So looking at the Song army who were coming slowly, Wanyan Shieyema and Yelu Yuji all smiled - this king Zhao Mujie seemed to be as brave as an ordinary man and had no ability to use troops to fight.
Yelu Yuji smiled and said to Shi Yema: "Shi Ye Ma Langjun, it seems that the King of the Song Dynasty, who is not a soldier, will soon be defeated by you. Maybe even Niangziguan and Jingxing can be captured together... This is the first contribution of our Western Army!"
Shiaya nodded proudly and said with a smile: "This battle is a great contribution... And you are still leading by example and have a wound on your back. You are really brave!"
Yelu Yuji knew that the other party was mocking him, but he still had to smile and echoed, "What the husband said is very true!"
After the war drums stopped, the two large horizontal formations of the Song army also stopped abruptly. At this time, the front formation of the two large horizontal formations of the Song army was still three or four hundred steps away from the Jin army's battle formation. Even if the Divine Arm Bow was used, it would not have much power at such a long distance.
So Han Shizhong prepared 20 brutal eight-ox crossbows for the Jin soldiers!
