Chapter 633

Under the night sky, the battlefield is like a huge grinding wheel.

The horseshoes galloped, circling on the chaotic and vast battlefield, one after another horse teams were like torrents passing through and intertwined, dividing the originally dense formation of the Wu Dynasty army.In the light of the flames, blood and corpses spread out. The field was full of fleeing soldiers, and there were also organized teams of various sizes fighting fiercely. When the Jurchen cavalry charged over, they were scattered one by one. , What is presented before the eyes is almost a large-scale massacre.

The Wu Sheng Army that originally guarded the Daming Mansion was torn in two by the Jurchen cavalry's first charge. The cavalry attacked from all directions, crushing the resistance of the [-]-strong army at an astonishingly high speed.

For the Wu Dynasty soldiers, everything in front of them can only be called tragic.On the huge battlefield where tens of thousands of people gathered, there were people everywhere, and the Jurchen's attack was forcibly chiseled in.No matter who it is, after encountering this scene, they will first feel unimaginable, and then there will be overwhelming fear, shaken military morale, great panic, panic and hysterical shouts and screams around, and the Jurchen cavalry charged over, The people around avoided and crowded each other, and then the horses rushing in front of them smashed their muscles and bones, and cut their bodies apart.On this battlefield where there are people everywhere, no matter where these cavalry go, what they set off is a shocking wave of corpses and blood.

The commander of the Wu Sheng Army, Chen Yanshu, was fleeing desperately. Just now, the Jurchen cavalry broke through the guards around him, and almost handed the blade to his eyes, and two arrows shot at him. On the armor——This Jurchen team came here in a targeted manner, and what they want to take is the head of the head of his army.

When the Jurchen cavalry appeared in front of the army, Chen Yanshu still thought about taking advantage of the crowd to give it a go. retreat.But everything is really too fast.

If infantry fights against cavalry, if you want to fight a tough battle, you need to rely on an airtight and crowded formation. When tens of thousands of people are crowded into a large block, the front line cannot escape, and the rear line will move forward bravely, forming a huge, cavalry formation. A wall of people that cannot be broken.However, the argument is the same thing. When the threat of death appears, the front of the queue will also subconsciously want to avoid and retreat.If the entire army is considered as a whole, the extent to which bravery outweighs cowardice determines whether the formation is strong or not.

The Jurchen charge quickly smashed the sea of ​​people to pieces. Even the battle-tested generals would be horrified by the flying flesh and blood. One of the 2000 cavalry troops tore through the sea of ​​people and headed straight for the banner of the Wu Sheng Army. , Chen Yanshu tried to block this "end of the crossbow" cavalry with the elite of the army, but the sea of ​​blood that had been set off earlier seemed to only arouse the fierceness of the Jurchens. The soldiers frantically chiseled in.

Or in other words, they were beheading everything they could come into contact with in all directions, while advancing rapidly.

Chen Yanshu's personal soldiers resisted for a while, and the huge pressure caused them heavy casualties. Chen Yanshu was terrified. When someone shot arrows at him in the chaos, he began to retreat quickly, and at the same time mobilized other troops in the army to go Come here and block the attack for him.

After such a transfer, the entire army has already begun to be in chaos.The killing of the Jurchen shattered everything under the night sky. The control of the entire Wusheng army has failed, and they are gradually fighting on their own. The marginal teams have begun to flee frantically. The soldiers in the battle formation are fighting fiercely under the leadership of middle-level officers. Or turn into it, but the massacre has become the main theme of the entire battlefield.With so many people, it is too convenient to slaughter.

More than ten miles away from here, Wuwei's army has also been scattered and crushed, and the nearby battlefield is Sai La, the general of the Kingdom of Jin.A Jurchen cavalry team rushed across and killed every Wu Dynasty soldier with a distinctive mark.

On the hills, the cavalry of about 1000 people chased the large troops who could not run fast, and slaughtered them by their tails.A large number of routs rushed into the nearby woods, but the Jurchen cavalry surrounded and circled the edge of the woods, and then started lighting fires in all directions. It was late autumn and early winter, and the weather was dry. After a while, a large number of open flames began to burn. , lighting up the entire forest.Near a nearby river valley, nearly [-] Wu Dynasty soldiers were massacred and forced into the river.Soon the Jurchens started shooting arrows into the river, and the whole river was stained red with blood.

Ten miles to the south of this place, the battlefield of Wuruiying was also tragic and unspeakable.Its collapse speed was slower than that of the Wusheng and Wuwei armies, but the serial horses also smashed the resistance of the infantry, cutting the entire battlefield into several large pieces.On and off the battlefield, the morale of the army is also collapsing, and half of the troops have already begun to break up and flee.

A Jurchen cavalry team of about [-] people circled and swept towards the broken crowd at the edge of the battlefield.

On this huge battlefield, Ning Yi could no longer find Qin Shaoqian's position—shortly after the war started, he rushed towards the Jurchens with the most precious two thousand cavalry of Wu Ruiying, but no matter how important this team was for Wu Ruiying How precious, first of all, the war horses of the Wu Dynasty are not as good as those of the Jurchens, and secondly, the quality of the cavalry of the Wu Dynasty is also much worse than that of the Jurchen cavalry in front of them. This cavalry confrontation is extremely tragic, and the casualties are also quite heavy.

Seeing the collapse of the battle ahead, and several Jurchen cavalry rushing here from different directions, frankly speaking, Ning Yi really wanted to leave.The position where he is now is surrounded by fields, and there is no high place that can be occupied, and there are all kinds of troops around. If his convoy wants to make a big move, everyone will start to bomb the camp and flee.

During the time in Qi County, Ning Yi communicated with Qin Shaoqian about the usage of the elm cannon. If there is a large army to support it, choose a narrow and long area and face the enemy head-on. It should have a good kill on the Jurchen cavalry.Even if the terrain is not good, if there is a large army to support it, placing the artillery array at the forefront and high above can play a lot of role, but the cooperation of the army is indispensable.But right now, even if the cannon array was laid out on flat ground, he didn't know which side to point it at.

When they went this time, their original plan was to fight the Jurchens near Moutuogang—either Yao Pingzhong succeeded in robbing the camp, and the more than [-] troops just surrounded the Jurchen army and closed it down in one fell swoop; or Yao Pingzhong failed, and the more than [-] troops The army gathered together and set up a formation to fight the Jurchens in an upright manner. However, they hadn't arrived yet, and the Jurchens came over, and even the intelligence of the scouts was not much ahead of time.

Qin Shaoqian was aware of this, and also realized that Ning Yi's elm cannon might not be effective, so he let him decide on his own, and if he couldn't do anything, he ran away.However, Ning Yi didn't want to be the first to collapse.

More than 300 people under Yue Fei have assembled. Under the training of this young general, the formation of more than 300 people has been trained very well, but they are still nervous and apprehensive. All soldiers have a little fear on their faces.Ning Yi also has a lineup of more than 300 people, all of whom are the elite of Zhuji. Those who followed Ning Yi to Luliang Mountain are all here. Although they are not a dense formation of a large number of infantry against cavalry, they are Most people's eyes showed no fear.

Of course, some technicians are still afraid.

Standing on the roof of the carriage, watching the front line of the massacre gradually spread to this side, Ning Yi was actually afraid.Jurchen serial horses, and even the later heavy cavalry Tiefutu, in later legends, Yue Fei dealt with them by cutting the legs of the horses. However, during this period of time, after Ning Yi got to know a little bit, he knew that the point was not to cut the legs of the horses at all. superior.

When a war horse rushes over and cuts off the horse's legs, it is common sense for all those who have experienced the battle. Only in legends, it will become a "cheat book".Because the focus is not on such a simple matter at all, the focus is on how to make the soldiers in the front line calmly, efficiently and accurately hand out their knives and guns to the horse's legs when more than ten war horses are sweeping like the tanks of later generations.

Even if they were hit, there was a [-]% chance that these soldiers would also be killed.

It may take countless simple and boring training, a high degree of strict discipline, and the tempering of war before it is possible to train such soldiers.After owning them, what they need to do is to change lives with the horses, so that the infantry can really have the power to fight the cavalry.But right now, the more than 300 people trained by the young general not far away are far from such a quality. As militia-like armed forces, they just didn't break down and escape.

Just now when the Jurchens started to charge, Ning Yi stood on the roof of the car and saw that the Jurchens' thousands of riders rushed into the battle with great momentum. The front row of Wu Ruiying also acted as a tenacious resistance, but these thousands of riders were really damaged. I'm afraid it's only a hundred or two hundred riders.The three chants arranged by Qin Shaoqian boosted morale, but at the front of the line, only morale can only make people frantically swing their knives, and even they themselves don't know what they cut. , their casualties plummeted.

The screams of the Great War spread over, and the wave of Jurchen killings spread across the field of vision, and orders for nearby troops to advance were also issued quickly—these people near Ning Yi were mostly scattered soldiers and volunteers who came from all directions. Soldiers, some of them are still bloody and brave. Under the leadership of the generals around them, they began to kill towards the front, and some people began to flee. The Jurchen cavalry has been killed here. The number seems to be hundreds or thousands, panic And the commotion became more apparent around them.Then, more broken soldiers spread around like a tide, and many people started to flee.

Ahead, Yue Fei held a steel gun and watched all this indifferently.

Zhu Biao, who had already returned, came to the back of the carriage and looked around: "Shall we help enforce the military law?"

Among the guards of Zhuji, many people were watching all this with raised eyebrows.People who practice martial arts are very brave. When they see such a big battle, they will not hesitate to go forward and fight hard. They also don't like these people who run away without fighting.But Ning Yi still shook his head: "We have to go later, the defeat is too fast, there are hundreds of us, and it doesn't make sense to stop them."

Zhu Biao was silent for a moment: "Our artillery array can't move."

In such a crowded and chaotic place, even if they really opened up, a volley would only kill their own people.

The night sky was noisy, the flames spread little by little, the cavalry swept across the battlefield, setting off waves of blood, and scenes of death and serious injuries appeared in large swaths, it was an indescribable scene.Ning Yi stood on the carriage and clenched his hands. This is the first time he has experienced such a huge war and such a huge defeat since he came to Wu Dynasty.He has experienced many things in his life, but it is another thing to experience such a scene. At this moment, he really wants to lead people to rush up, and he really wants to set up the elm cannon array and give the Jurchens a head-on blow, but Even if all the brain power is mobilized to calculate in the heart, it is meaningless.In front, Qin Shaoqian and the others are still fighting because they have to fight. If they don't fight at this time, they will lose even the last chance to escape.

Another cavalry team of about a thousand people came around from the side and arrived near the battlefield.

The Jurchen general who led the cavalry was named Sukna. While the cavalry was slowing down slightly, he was also observing the situation on the battlefield.

"It's time to go." Ning Yi said, and then raised his hand towards the nearby Zhuji people, "I know you want to rush up, but while there is still a chance, we want... to escape back to Qi County. Go to the side first Let's go, don't be too fast..."

Even if the carriage moved slowly, it caused congestion. Fortunately, Ning Yi did not choose the escape route at this time, and it did not cause everyone to swarm and disperse.Not far away, the Jurchen general Su Kena pointed out his finger: "There, there must be all kinds of supplies in the Wu Dynasty people's convoy. Come with me! It's ours!"

"Wow—" There was a frenzy of shouts in the Jurchen cavalry, and then the cavalry rushed forward, rushing straight towards the panicked crowd.

The cavalry entered the battle formation, setting off a wave of blood, and then another burst of defeat and escape. The distance was more than 200 meters, and Ning Yi looked over there through the thick crowd.

"It's coming towards us." Zhu Bule turned his horse's head and gestured around.

"It's troublesome..." Ning Yi frowned and murmured, "Continue to move, prepare to fight."

Not far away, Yue Fei, who also noticed the situation, began to transfer the team. Here, the team was still moving to the side, and all the good fighters in Zhu Ji had gathered.The battlefield farther away was fiercely fought, and the Jurchen cavalry came like a torrent. Not long after the entire field fell into the Shura field, Ning Yi and others fell into this vast battle and became part of it.

In the capital, a chilling and strange atmosphere is fermenting.The news of Yao's army's disastrous defeat has already been transmitted first...
