Chapter 15 Collapse(2/5)

Wherever Iron Dragon went, the chaotic battlefield immediately seemed to be 'swept'. The Jin army collapsed completely and turned around to leave; while the Song army was all rejoicing, either pursuing hard in front of the iron wall, or fighting behind the iron wall.

Then the whole team followed... What's more, due to the deployment, heavy armor and long ax soldiers were rarely seen in other parts of the battlefield, but there were countless scattered spear and heavy armor warriors. These imperial soldiers were directly under the army officers.

After being greeted, he followed from behind and joined the array.

Yes, on the battlefield after being swept away, the Jin army was completely defeated, and the Song army did not hesitate to join and merge into this long military formation like walls and forests, becoming part of the military formation.

As the Song army swept and advanced, the Song army along the way almost immediately filled up this iron dragon that originally seemed a little thin. In the eyes of the general, the biggest weakness of this heavy step formation, which is like a wall and a forest, is now visible to the naked eye.

A speed that quickly disappears.

When the two sides were about three miles apart, they had already swept through half of the eastern front battlefield. The Song army's formation had gathered at least half of Li Qiong's troops, as well as the control headquarters of the two imperial camps and rear troops. The formation was twice as thick, and

It is still absorbing and reorganizing all the forces of the Song Army on the Eastern Front at an increasingly faster speed.

At the same time, Ba Lisu suddenly realized that he had made a mistake from the beginning.

The reason why the Song Army adopted this thin formation that seemed to leave flaws was because they never expected to use a mere four-row formation to sweep everything and bear everything. This 'last throw' was simply a means, a way to defeat the Song Army.

A means to transform the previous advantages on the overall battlefield into victory.

Including the previous march route of the Zhao and Song Dynasty officials, starting from the stone bridge, gathering the people in front of them and rushing to the high ground, they all have the same meaning in essence - in the eyes of the Song army commander, the outcome is always determined by the entire battlefield.

All Song armies! They will gather everyone’s strength to crush the Jin army!

Only by gathering the power of all the Song armies can they overwhelm the 14 Jin armies, Ten Thousand Households, and the six Hezha Meng'an on the battlefield.

In sharp contrast, it was when he pulled away from the speed that he actually put all his hopes on the vigorous charge of more than 20,000 cavalry!

This is a war that will overwhelm the country. What on earth is he thinking?

Why didn't you help Yelu Mawu and Wanyan Onun first? Why didn't you go to join Lubu?

Why did it take until now to wake up to this truth?

The surrounding Jin Army cavalry were also vaguely aware of something, but it was too late. With a sudden attack in front, they defeated a small Song Army infantry formation of several hundred people, leading directly to the armored wall and ax forest.

The passage suddenly appeared in front of Ba Lisu, who was still in shame and anger.

This is an opportunity, or it may be a point of no return.

Ba Lisu moved forward slowly, his heart started beating again, and he began to get nervous. He couldn't help but glance at the high ground to the west. Over there, the two commanding heights were still under the control of the Song Army, especially the one farther west.

At the highest point, Longhu was still shaking slightly in the rain, which meant that Uncle Wanyan and Huonv did not rush forward at all.

Of course, this is normal. It only took so long that it would be strange to rush forward. Besides, trying to overwhelm that dragon flag would be tantamount to overcoming the Song Army of more than 100,000 people on the high ground and on the western front.

At this moment, even if Lou Shi comes, he won’t be able to attack him! Unless the whole Jin army cheers up and joins forces to attack.

Can we work together?

If we turn around at this time, it will only destroy the Eastern Front faster, right?

"The whole army will follow me forward, meet me, meet me!"

Under the flag of the five-color sun, Ba Lishu, who was thinking all over the place, quickly looked away from the dragon scroll and looked back at each other without any hesitation... In other words, at the moment, he had no other choice but to defeat the person in front of him first.

Let’s talk about the enemy. “The enemy is right in front of you!”

As soon as he finished speaking, he galloped out of the horse immediately, leading the five-color sun flag and speeding towards the north.

Once this flag representing the commander-in-chief of the Jin Army was activated and launched first, all the Jin Army cavalry on the eastern battlefield would have no more thoughts.

At the same time, the surrounding Song army showed a completely different situation.

Directly to the north, the Song Army's long ax heavy infantry array quickly stopped the entire team, and the Song Army arrays trailing behind began to quickly gather towards the exposed part of the gap as a backup for the impact.

On the eastern front, Li Qiongbu suddenly stopped integrating into the formation behind him and instead tried hard to maintain the formation. The battle area with Yelu Mawu and Wanyan Onlun also became fierce in an instant, and both sides gritted their teeth for a while.

. And to the east, Jian Lubu, who was almost close to the camp, did not hesitate. Regardless of the heavy Song Army formations on his side, he directly increased his speed and applied pressure, obviously to echo the speed of pulling away.

Looking to the west, that is, around the east of the two commanding heights of the highland, the exposed Zhang Qi and Niu Gao tribes of the Imperial Camp Central Army maintained a solemn silence, obviously preparing their military strength. And behind these two military formations

, in the middle of the two commanding heights, the Beiwei Army of the imperial camp's left army, which had rested for half an hour, also began to arrange their formation on the high ground again, as if preparing to come to support if necessary.

As for the south, some of the heavy cavalry and light cavalry that had previously attacked as a large cavalry formation also accelerated suddenly, following almost non-stop under the orders of Liu Qi, Zhang Xian, and Li Shifu.

Speeding up and approaching, He Zha Meng'an, who was urged by the five-color flag holding the sun behind him, suddenly launched at full speed. One of them went straight in front of him and turned into the front of the formation. The other turned upward, trying to withstand the flanking attack from the high ground.

However, the condescending Zhang Qi and Niu Gao tribes were not moved at all. They all gave up their positions, poured down from top to bottom, and rushed towards the flank of the Jin Army's cavalry in a large infantry formation.

However, the first to engage in the battle was from the north. Before the flanking Song Army infantry arrived, the Jin Army cavalry had all accelerated, and then the waves crashed on the shore, rolling up thousands of piles of snow.

He Zha Meng'an, ten Mou Ke, and about seven or eight hundred iron pagodas were in the lead. They had no conventional cavalry tactics to choose from. They could only carry a certain determination to die. With the sudden burst of shouts of killing, it was almost lifeless.

Like a hard chisel, it plunged into the Song Army's wall.

They easily broke through the first line of ax forest. Almost all the long-axe and heavy-armored warriors in front of them were annihilated and turned into trampled objects under the horses' hooves. One commander also died directly in battle; quite a few continued to break through the second line of gun forest.

At this time, the casualties of the Jin Army's iron pagoda were very obvious. The spears inserted diagonally into the wet mud acted as a strong hindrance to the war horses; a small number of troops broke through the third row of ax forest, and even fewer troops crossed the fourth row.

, even the fifth column, but only a few people crossed the sixth column... At this time, the Song Army had already set up ten columns of guns in this place.

If the attack fails, the iron pagoda will naturally try to pull the people out, but the Song army on both sides has already separated into two columns. Under the leadership of two commanders, they came from both sides. As the Song army retaliated,

With a killing cry, the spear easily restrained Tiefutu, which had lost all speed. The long ax was raised high, and he immediately chopped people, and then got off the horse and cut off the legs... Tiefutu, who was invincible at all times, used the initial sprint to cause

A huge amount of damage was done, but once they lost their mobility, they immediately became the target of being massacred by long axes and spears.

The long axes stepped forward with heavy steps, already the old enemy of the heavy armored cavalry.

Seeing this scene from a distance, Ba Lisu, who was still advancing at high speed, trembled in his heart, but he had no intention of slowing down. Instead, he used all his strength, screamed for kill, and led most of the main force behind him to rush towards the iron pagoda where they were massacring.

Song army, and once again caused huge casualties.

However, due to the stagnation of the Iron Pagoda in front, they could not break through the iron wall of the Song army at all. Moreover, as the flags on the battle line were waved, more long axes and spears were brought in, led by Yang Yizhong and Zhang Zigai personally.

The wider wings folded over again, trying to wrap up more Jin Army cavalry, including Ba Lisu.

The war horse that is pulled out of the speed department is already an ordinary armored horse instead of an armored horse. The spear can control the horse more easily, and the ax can cut off the horse's leg more easily.

Once trapped, it's a complete massacre.

Of course, the Jin Army could not just sit back and watch this happen. The Jin Army cavalry units further behind worked hard to move forward and tried to rescue them. The Tiefutu who was responsible for blocking the highland attack troops also directly turned his horse's head, as if he was loyal to Ba Lisu, but

This directly triggered something more terrifying... Generals Zhang Qi and Niu Gao, who had lost control, urged the military formation to rush down at all costs, almost following Hezha Meng'an to withstand the flank of the Jin Army's cavalry formation.

At the same time, the cavalry of the Imperial Cavalry, whether heavy or light, all swarmed in from the rear. Together with Li Qiong's troops on the other side, the surrounding troops actually locked the entire Jin Army cavalry formation firmly.

At the same time, more long ax heavy infantry and long spear heavy infantry folded over from both sides again.

Ba Lisu and his elite cavalry were completely trapped in the dense steel forest of the Song army.

At this time, on the Eastern Front battlefield, no one cared about Nian Lubu and Yelu Mawu. Even Yelu Mawu and Zhenlu Bu were trying to open up the connection with Bali Su, but Li Qiong did not care about this. Just too happy.

There were no miracles or accidents. The first to win was the Song Army. Countless Song troops committed suicide under the command of Wang Yan, Yang Yizhong, Zhang Zigai, Li Qiong, Liu Qi, Zhang Xian, Li Shifu, and even Yelu Yujian. It surged up from all directions, layer upon layer, like a rice dumpling wrapped around it, clamping down on the pull-out part.

This kind of package, of course, cannot be a complete encirclement, but it is enough to make the Separation Force lose the possibility of large-scale maneuvers.

Sure enough, about two quarters of an hour later, after pulling away from the speed part, it lost a lot of space and speed of movement, just like a prey that lost its life after falling into a spider's web.

In fact, this is indeed the case... The charge just now has proved that the cavalry who have lost their mobility are the prey of the Song Army's armored walls and axes. The only options waiting for them are to be massacred or to completely collapse and flee.

"That flag is the Generalissimo of the Kingdom of Jin?!"

A group of Song Army cavalry came from behind, but they did not block the retreat at all. Instead, they galloped past the slope and inserted into the Jin Army cavalry formation from behind Niugao on the flank. The leading general was tall and powerful, holding a The huge iron spear that was integrated into one body pointed at the five-color sun-holding flag that was still partially moving in the rain. The excitement in his tone could not be concealed, but he didn't know who he was asking.

"Why do you care about the marshal?" Niu Gao, who was sweating profusely, was not far away. He was almost furious when he heard the words. "What's the use of a marshal looking like this now? What's useful is the flag." , cut down that flag, this cavalry army will be defeated, and it will be the first contribution of the entire army of 200,000 people today!"

The cavalryman who looked like he was ramming goods, that is, Yang Zaixing. Hearing this, he became more and more excited. He immediately waved the big iron spear in his hand and led his troops forward bravely... His iron spear was long and heavy, and he swept wherever he could. They have the advantage of long-handled weapons, but they are also like blunt weapons. Although the Jin army's cavalry are all heavily armored, no one can do it. What's more, the iron cavalry can provoke the golden cavalry from time to time, and even the sharp points on it can cut the war horses from time to time. Flesh and blood... a mere hundred people followed, cutting their way through the dense Jin Army cavalry like cutting through thorns and waves, heading straight for the five-color sun flag a thousand steps away.

In other words, according to the current situation, the Song Army on the Eastern Front should have struggled to block the Jin Army on three sides, waiting for more and more long-axe heavy steps to gather in, eat this Jin Army, and then regroup and sweep across the entire Eastern Front.

But now, since Niu Gao saw such a brave general, how could he waste his opportunity?

The man was startled for a moment, then he immediately waved his mace and ordered his troops to follow Yang Zaixing's troops and quickly march towards the handsome flag:

"Follow me! Follow this guy who wields a big iron gun!"

At the commanding heights of the battlefield, Zhao Jiu certainly didn't know that Yang Zaixing and Niu Gao had joined together and were about to show off their power. Even if he knew, it didn't matter because he had already seen Ba Lisu's charge and fall. From a distance, The charge just now was not that thrilling at all, it was just like a fish hitting a net...the net was not broken, but the fish had lost its strength.

Therefore, this official just looked normal.

The surrounding commanders, generals, ministers, and consultants all wanted to shout for victory, but no one dared to cheer up despite the official Zhao family's attitude... Of course, many people were relieved, and the atmosphere under the dragon's head was also Slightly toned down.

Only after a moment, the official withdrew his gaze from the east side and turned to the south side, but the atmosphere became tense again.

The reason is very simple. Following Zhao Guanjia's gaze, at this time, on the southern slope, on a considerable part of the battlefield, the Song army was engaged in a bitter battle, and there was also a general at the level of Jieduzhao who was deeply involved.

The reason for this situation was the previous charge.

At that time, the Jin Army's cavalry came out from three sides, and the imperial cavalry located on the southeast side of the highland rushed down. In addition, there was a certain interval between the Jin Army's troops, so after the charge, the Jin Army's cavalry was obviously divided into two groups.

share.

One group is in the middle and west of the south side of the highland. The flags are Wanyan Huonv and Wanyan Peishushu, and there are quite a few Hezha Meng'an. The target is obviously this commanding height, which is the Zhao Guan family who is watching the battle and the people behind him.

Longhu, that is, they caused many bitter battles for the Song army on the southern front; the other group was on the east side of the highland, and it was at this time that Balisu and Zhenlu were caught in the Song army's formation, and Balisu's

There is no need to discuss the target at this time. He obviously wants to break through the last elite long ax heavy step of the Song army and control this "last throw" to buy time for Wanyan Huonv and Wanyan Uncle.

Therefore, the question now is whether the iron dragons on the eastern front of the Song Army first swept the battlefield on the eastern front and then turned to the south, causing overall suppression, or whether the Jin Army's "last throw" was able to kill this before the Song Army's support could be effective.

On the commanding heights, some kind of magical reversal was completed.
To be continued...
