Chapter 62 The East and the West(2/2)
Almost as soon as he arrived at the front line, he issued the order to dismount and fight to fight for the defensive line, and then desperately used his flag and military uniform to burn the fence, and it had a miraculous effect, and that's not to mention... Obviously, with the rear
The Han'er army arrived, and the Jin army's crossbow support quickly took shape, and the real arrows began to cross on the battlefield.
Let us also say that the area between the east of the Yongji Canal, which was only a few miles wide, was blocked by the antlers, and the two sides only fought along a few temporarily opened narrow fronts.
At this time, in this combat mode, although the Jin army could not invest a large number of troops, the numerical advantage of the Song army was not very obvious. Instead, due to exhaustion, it fell behind the Jurchen army.
A quarter of an hour later, the Jin army successfully crossed the trench, pushed a fence with burned pillars and ropes, and crossed the defense line.
"Come with me!"
In front of the defense line, Hu Qing, the commander of the imperial camp's right army who was responsible for the defense of this section, was momentarily panicked. He shouted in a Jingdong accent to call out to his immediate bodyguards. Then he hurriedly put on his robe and personally stepped forward to try to block the gap.
However, when he led his troops to meet him, it was just a face-to-face encounter. A Jurchen heavily armored person who rushed out first saw the opportunity and shot an arrow directly towards Hu Qing, hitting Hu Qing's face without a visor. Hu Qing was the commander of the official
, actually died on the spot in front of the fence.
After Hu Qing died, the guards behind him panicked for a moment and hurriedly snatched away the body of their leader, then withdrew in a daze. As a result, the Jin army took advantage of the situation and poured into the gap, chasing and killing them wantonly while cutting down the fence with weapons.
Try to widen the gap.
On the tower, Gao Jingshan's breathing became heavy after seeing this scene from a distance.
"Let Zhao Buyu lead a thousand people over to plug the leak!"
After a while, the news of Hu Qing's death in battle spread to Da Bao. At this time, the Jin Army had obviously expanded its advantage of the breakthrough point. There were even two other people who knew the breakthrough point, and Yue Fei had to face this problem. "But if Tian Du
The commander-in-chief has his own arrangements, so don’t seize the front without authorization and only maintain it in the rear..."
Zhao Buyou was an imperial student who came from the imperial family and was known for his martial arts. He met Yue Fei by chance in Xiangzhou as early as Jingkang. He always remembered him and had been his subordinate since he was a general under Yue Fei's left-behind department in Tokyo. Now he is the commander-in-chief.
After Zhao Buyu left, there were discussions and officers gathered around him. They all seemed to feel that the situation was a bit dangerous and that Yue Fei's handling of the situation was a bit underestimating the enemy.
"It's not that I underestimate the enemy." It is a matter of life and death for more than 100,000 soldiers and civilians. At this point, even Yue Fei has to give a little explanation to his staff and close officers. "On the contrary, it is because Piaohe's troops have not yet appeared, and the response in the city is
The troops have not yet come out! What's more, the Yongji Canal divides the area into two. Although the war in the east seems to be in danger at this time, the Jin army is just relying on its own strength and has a lot of energy. Once it is restrained, it will definitely be frustrated. On the contrary,
It is the gap of only a few hundred steps to the west of Yongji Canal that is the real critical point in this battle, and it is necessary to leave enough backup for emergency response."
The generals tried their best to suppress their uneasiness and continued to wait and see.
However, having said that, in the process of Zhao Buyu leading his troops to support forward, the situation on the front line became worse and worse - the Jin Army continued to make earth-shaking changes on the front line with the power of breaking through the fence, and a group of troops came to support from the rear.
The heavy armor passed through the gap, and without hesitation took advantage of the chaos to rush in front of a team of civilians who were obviously transporting water to put out the fire, slashing and killing them arbitrarily, causing even greater chaos.
Seeing such a situation from a distance, Yue Fei continued to sit still on his horse, while Gao Jingshan on the turret completely hesitated before Pu Suyue asked for battle for the fourth time.
As the commander-in-chief of the Daming Mansion, Gao Jingshan was completely transparent about the battle situation, and he was also very clear about Yue Fei's intention to stand still. He even looked down to the north from a distance, and could see some places more clearly than Yue Fei.
After all, he was also waiting for the Jin army to detour to the west of Yongji Canal and rush into the gap with only a few hundred steps left.
But a big problem now is that the Song Army built a city overnight and built countless bridges on the Yongji Canal. Although the Song Army cannot say that it is smooth walking on the east and west sides of the ground, it definitely has a mobility advantage. As for the Jin Army,
Whether it was the previous obstruction of the sentry cavalry in the city, or the fact that Piaohe did not appear at this time, as well as his own hesitation about the direction of Pu Suyue's attack, it had actually clearly demonstrated a huge tactical loophole of the Jin Army... In such a magical situation of the Song Army
Under the operation of Yongji Canal, the geographical advantage they originally relied on became the biggest tactical obstacle to the Jin army.
In a hurry, the large unprepared troops tried to seize time to cross the Yongji Canal, a hanging river above the ground, which was very troublesome.
This is true in the city, and so must be the case with the reinforcements.
But now, Ali's desperate attack without hesitation had a miraculous effect. Therefore, Gao Jingshan himself did not know whether to invest his mobile troops in the north or west of the city.
"Let Pu Suyue leave the city and go to the north of the city to harass Yue Fei. Remember, letting him harass is not letting him fight lightly." Finally, his eyes once again glanced at the silent Song army cavalry in the west of the city.
, Gao Jingshan suppressed his uneasiness and turned back to issue a military order. "Just try to hold the opponent back so that the opponent cannot try his best to support the northern defense line."
As soon as he said this, the Jin Kingdom's military commander regretted it, but he did not change the military order after all.
Because he knew that if he continued to let Pu Suyue wait any longer, he would suffer and regret, and changing military orders on the battlefield would be worse than making a possibly wrong decision.
Just like this, when the chaos reached its maximum at the northern defense line, with a rumbling sound, the Jin Army cavalry in Yuancheng finally appeared, but they poured out of the west gate, and then gathered along the city to the north.
Let's say that there were two cavalry teams in the Song and Jin Dynasties, one in the east of the canal and one in the west of the canal. The Yongji Canal in the middle was an artificial water canal that rose slightly but could not cover the tall cavalry. It was only a few dozen steps wide and the two sides were far away.
The opponent's armor was visible, but neither side cared about the other, nor did they make any unnecessary moves.
The Jin Army's cavalry hurried north along the city, while the Song Army's cavalry did not risk being attacked from a distance by the city and harassed them across the river. They just watched the other side pass by.
This scene further confirmed Gao Jingshan's conjecture on the turret. The discipline of the Song Army's cavalry was far beyond his imagination. If the cavalry in the city crossed the canal and went to the west of the canal to meet them, the effect would be worse.
"Marshal, the Jin army has left the city!"
The general beside him was overjoyed. "He's coming towards us! Do you want to follow General Han's example and lure them to the front, and then let the Beiwei army risk blocking their way back in order to annihilate them all in the city?"
"No need." Yue Fei didn't look back at the situation behind him at all, but kept his expression unchanged, and quickly ordered on his horse. "Hebei and Hedong are completely different. There is no need to fight in vain. Send orders to Yao Zheng, Pang Rong, and Li Shan to wait for the enemy cavalry to cross.
Just approach the northwest corner tower of Yuancheng immediately and block it in front of the city!"
After the military order was issued, when the Jin army turned out of the northwest corner tower, the three troops started to activate in accordance with the military order. At this time, another continuous burst of rumbling thunder resounded through the battlefield again, and billowing smoke filled the sky again.
This time, the movement came from the northwest of Jia Di, and it did not gradually subside like it did from the north. Instead, it kept moving straight towards the gap in the northwest of Jia Di.
That's right, without Gao Jingshan's military orders, the Jin army Wanhu Piaohe crossed the Yongji Canal from the rear under the cover of Ali, and seized the Song army's biggest flaw.
"Let Zhang Zigai stand up."
The exhausted Master Tian felt relieved, but he loosened the dust in his hand, and the dust fell and sprinkled on his dusty armor. "Go up to him! Tell him that success or failure depends on this! Decide on your lieutenants in advance.
Sequence, don’t be like that idiot Hu Qing. Not only did he lose his life, but he also destroyed the front line! The rest of the people don’t have to wait any longer to follow their own defense lines and head north to meet the enemy!"
After Tian Shizhong gave the order, nearly 10,000 elite soldiers from the imperial camp immediately stood up from between the civilians and the banners, and headed north with a loud movement, like a rising tide.
On the top of the city, Gao Jingshan looked at this spectacular scene, and suddenly felt that something was wrong... The strength of the Song army's soldiers was somewhat beyond his imagination... Zhang Rong led the navy in the east, Tang Huai in the south, Zhang Xian in the west, There are also necessary troops left behind on the other side of the river. Where did these more than 10,000 people come from?
And if the strength of the Song army was like this from the beginning, then what's the point of Ali's infantry assault being so good? I'm here to calculate and calculate, and what's the point of calculating the odds of winning on the east and west sides?
On the east side of Yongji Canal, there is no chance of winning!
