The number one scholar of the Song Dynasty

Wu Lin crawled over, trying to catch his breath, but found that his neck had been shot through.A wave of hatred filled his chest, he lay on the ground and beat hard, then slowly backed away.

Wu Jie took the opportunity to say: "Our battle is over, and it's a marvelous achievement to guard this bird stockade for three days. No one should show off his mother's ability. People who fight hard can't be killed by fighting. Give me a good life." Come on, let's sit and watch Shao Zai win the battle."

The remaining hundred or so people in the entire army village slowly gathered together and looked down through the perforations in the wall of the village.

Song Jun, who was in the lead, was already very close, his face was vaguely discernible in the smoke and dust, and the sound of horseshoes rolling shook the ground slightly trembling.

The Jurchen soldiers and horses on the opposite side raised their weapons and imitated the shouts of eagles and wolves, which was deafening.

Such a spectacular scene, even if they were in the camps of the two armies, few people could get a glimpse of the whole picture.Now there are hundreds of people including Wu Jie in the military village, but they happen to have this vision, and the clearer they can see, the more shocking they will be.

On the side of the Song army, there were no ghosts crying or howling wolves, all the soldiers were surprisingly silent, only the sound of war drums and horns was desolate and distant.

When Yang Lin waved his hand, the three armies moved slightly, like the fall of Mount Tai.He stepped heavily and stomped, and the clang sounded in his ears.The cavalry were on the two wings, forming a formation of wild goose feathers, ready to raid the two sides at any time.The phalanx of spearmen and archers in the back is marching forward "clang clang".

In the battle of a large group of thousands of troops, this kind of military parade moves forward, which is actually a sign of an imminent war.The scorching sun was in the sky, and there were thousands of troops and horses on both sides of the open field under the army stronghold. The swords and halberds were cold, and the chill suppressed the scorching sun in the sky during the scorching heat.The spearmen of the Song army clanged in iron armor, held scull shields and spears, and lined up in a dense formation. There were twenty or forty rows. With their spears held high, they stepped forward like a forest. The soldiers lined up knelt on one knee and pointed their spears forward, forming a three-dimensional defensive spear formation.

The conical chariot formation of the Jurchen iron cavalry on the opposite side has also been set up. In the forefront are the Jurchen tartars with heavy weapons such as chain hammers, maces, halberds, and fire forks hanging on the victory hook. They are strong and strong Their bodies allowed them to place all their heavy weapons within easy reach. At this moment, they were already holding their bows, and slowly reached for the quiver behind their shoulders with one hand.Looking back, the scimitar is like grass, and the reflections are like the scales of the river. In the middle of the army, a black dragon flag stands upright.

This strong fighting spirit and gunpowder smoke aroused the masculinity in Yang Lin's bones. No wonder ordinary people on weekdays can often fight with forgetfulness on the battlefield.

"Kill!" Roared out the turbid air oppressed by the Jurchen Tartars' aura in his chest, his voice was like thunder, rolling down and down, and with one order, thousands of arrows were fired, like dark clouds, and the sun in the sky was one of them dark.

Dozens of ox horns blew desolate and exciting horn sounds at the same time, and the Jurchen battle array was activated at the same time. Wanyan Zongwang's eyes showed a murderous look, and he personally put on armor and charged forward.I saw the arrow piercing through the edges, covering the sky like locusts and covering the sun, Jurchen iron cavalry instigated, driving the Khitan vassal army to take the lead, the troops and horses were like a rolling flood, and the Song army on the opposite side was like immovable mountains. The mountains are about to collide.

Wu Jie and Wu Lin were fascinated. Watching a big battle from this perspective greatly improved the two talented young players, as if a door was suddenly opened.Perhaps the experience that can only be summed up after dozens of fights on the battlefield, now you only need to watch and figure out it carefully.Historically, Wu Jie has been held and beaten by Jurchen, and fled from Shaanxi to Hanzhong, and then fled to the gate of Shuzhong.After Wanyan Loushi died, Wu Jie suddenly became enlightened, and the Jin soldiers were defeated in the battle of Xianrenguan.It can be said that without him, the Song Pian'an court would have lost Sichuan.

Arrows and arrows filled the sky, and the fighting shook the sky, and the ranks surged like surging waves. Although it seemed chaotic, in fact, each had its own rules.

The rise of a generation of famous generals requires luck. The current battle is not good for the soldiers of both sides, but it is really an opportunity for Wu Jie and Wu Lin.

In their eyes, there are countless Song soldiers and miscellaneous Hus from various ethnic groups in the Jin Kingdom fighting ecstasy.The battle that happened before their eyes was cruel and tragic, which changed the color of the mountains and rivers, and made the wind and the sun die.

In fact, infantry-based arms may not be invincible against cavalry-based arms. If it is in mountains, canyons, and swampy areas, it may still have the upper hand.For example, the valley right now is the battlefield carefully selected by Yang Lin. The famous Liao extermination army did not take much advantage in front of the 7 Song soldiers.

The large formation of the Song army stood still under the impact of the surging tide of enemy cavalry. Each battalion, large and small, had its own rules and was able to advance slowly to launch a counterattack. However, the Khitan cavalry, a vassal of the Kingdom of Jin, were like a flood in the Song army. The gap left by the camp rushed in and out, but they were still unable to rush in, and many people were shot and killed instead.

A great battle was fought till sunset, and the two sides were still inseparable.The bowstring vibrated violently like a beep, Wanyan Xiyin couldn't help raising his head to look.I saw hundreds of red tassels dancing on the mountain where the Song army's phalanx was supported, and the Song archers who formed the iron wall also opened their strong bows and crossbows, raised their angles, and fired another round of arrows rain.

"How many bows and arrows do the southerners have!" Wanyan Xiyin roared angrily, feeling a little aggrieved.The opponent is obviously not as brave as his own son Lang, and his own people are good at bow, horse, riding and shooting, but they still can't slaughter these southerners like they defeated the Khitan people.

A wave of irritability moved back and forth in his body, and the denser rain of arrows in the distance fell overwhelmingly, before the Khitan vassal soldiers and horses, it was like a dark cloud suddenly falling.

Yang Lin in the distance, watching the casualties of his soldiers, also forcibly endured the depression in his heart.Who would have thought that the first large-scale confrontation between Song and Jin, the two sides fought like crazy.

After tonight, I'm afraid everyone will truly understand that this is an endless battle!

Like this battle, I don't know how many more battles there will be in the future, maybe every day.

The fate of the Song and Jin Dynasties for the next hundred years will be decided after the great battle that spreads all over Youyan.

Chapter 432 Returning to the Horse and Going Straight to Shangjing Mansion

The burning torches illuminated the valley outside Yizhou Mansion as if it were daytime, and when the two sides called for gold and retreated, the soldiers who had been fighting for a day retreated as if they had been separated for a lifetime.

From the perspective of the Jurchens, they did the right thing, let the Khitan soldiers consume the military power of the Song Dynasty, and then the Jurchens finally won the victory.Although today's battle was fierce, the Jurchen's Mo Kemeng'an did not suffer much loss, and those who died were all Khitan or Zahu's vassal soldiers.

On the surface, there is nothing wrong with this, it is a completely feasible tactic, but from the perspective of the Song army, this young Song army has gained unprecedented training in fighting against the Khitan vassal army this time.In the Jurchen's camp, there was still wanton and insolent laughter, which didn't seem to have touched them at all.All the Jurchen Tartars believed that as long as people like themselves came out, the southerners would be irresistible.

In the coach's tent, Wanyan Zongwang was at the top, and Xiyin stood in the middle, with a somewhat ruthless tone: "Everyone has seen this time, the southerners are not as easy to fight as we thought. A small military stronghold, they will We have to dispatch the main force to protect them, not to mention the prefectures and towns on the ground of Youyan. "

Zong Wang lost the restraint of Aguda, his temper was no longer so good, he snorted coldly and said: "Xi Yin, don't destroy our Jurchen's prestige, although we suffered a lot of casualties, the Song people on the opposite side died more .Besides, they are just some Khitan barbarians, and they will be arrested after they die. The Liao Kingdom is so big that there will be no shortage of slaves.”

Wanyan Xiyin was at a loss for words for a while, and his mind was overwhelmed by all the curse words he could think of. Ever since the old emperor divided his troops to fight Juyongguan, Zongwang had taken him more and more seriously.

Sometimes he is very envious of Zong Han who grew up with him. He doesn't have to be angry in Beilu because he is the commander-in-chief of the Northern Army.

Wanyan Xiyin is different from the general Jurchen Tartar nobles. This outlier is a scholar. He even combined Chinese characters and Khitan characters. It only took more than a year to invent the Jurchen big characters.

Looking at the arrogant compatriots in the tent, Wanyan Xiyin shook her head

At this time, on the side of the Song Army, Yang Lin, who had removed his armor, returned to the army stronghold, where Wu Jie and others had already packed up the corpses of the brothers who died in battle.

Broken sawdust and blood were everywhere, and the stench made people's eyes hurt. After rubbing his eyes, he directed his soldiers and horses into the village, and Yang Lin squatted down on a wooden stake.

It is most appropriate to describe today's bloody battle as tragic. The first time Song and Jin collided head-on, they fought for their lives, and they fought until the dark night before retreating, without the slightest temptation.This bloody beginning heralds the cruelty of the ensuing battle, and also reminds everyone what kind of battlefield this is.

Two young generals in the distance helped each other to come over, but when they got close, they were stopped by Lu Qian.The two hurriedly reported their families, Lu Qian brought them over, and said with some respect in his tone: "Young Zai, this is the general of the army camp, and Wu Jie is in command of the infantry battalion."

Yang Lin raised his head feebly, the two of them were covered in blood and were no longer human, pointing to the pier next to him and said: "Sit down and talk."

"In front of Shao Zai, the last general should just stand."

"Sit down, sit down, don't come here, I'm tired after a day of commanding, and I still haven't fought in person. You have been here for three days, and I heard that there are only a hundred people left. You have the guts, you are a man .”

The two brothers looked at each other, as if they were greatly relieved, they smiled and wiped the wooden pier with their sleeves, and sat next to Yang Lin.

"The vicissitudes of life show the true qualities of a hero. In our battle with Jin Guo, many people will die. But there will also be countless heroes who will emerge as the times require. I hope you can remember today's battle. Who says it can't be you The beginning of world fame."

The two young generals guarded the military stronghold for three days. These three days were too important for the soldiers of Yizhou Mansion.

Yang Lin also liked them very much, and immediately asked Lu Qian to record some of his resume and achievements, which was to give them a promotion.Wu Jie was overjoyed, but he didn't show it on his face.

In Yunzhou Prefecture, when Yao Pingzhong led the army to chase Yuzhou, news came from the front line that Agu was beating the Jurchen elite soldiers, and gave up capturing Yelu Yanxi, and went to attack Youyan instead.

Halfway through the journey, Yao Pingzhong lowered his head and carefully looked at the empty Jurchen camp.It was here that they assembled their soldiers at the beginning, and then with an order, thousands of troops headed straight to the border of Yunnei and Youyan in Song Dynasty in the east.

"General Yao, judging from the traces of the rain, they have been away for a long time."

Yao Pingzhong's face was very calm. Although his heart was flustered, as the commander-in-chief of the army, he still couldn't.

"I lost all the luggage and heavy things. I wonder if you can catch up." Yang Jie, the nephew of the Yang family of the Xijun family, asked.

Yao Pingzhong rebuffed straight away, saying: "I've lost all my belongings, should I chase after them and let the Jurchens kill them?" Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he said, "Let's go to the area around Shangjing to help the Khitan people."Help them recapture Shangjing. Beyond the Great Wall, Jurchen's elite soldiers will come out in full force. Their lair is empty. "

Yao Pingzhong thought to himself that he had made a big mistake. If his teacher hadn't been keen and discovered Jinren's plan, then Yizhou and other places would have been extremely dangerous.

At this moment, when I thought about it, if my army chased up immediately, it might be that the fight was almost done.And taking advantage of the Jurchen's main force to go to their place, I feel sorry for the Jurchen soldiers coming out in full force.

Without the slightest hesitation, once Yao Pingzhong made up his mind, he rode on his horse and said: "Stop marching eastward, the army stops, the front army becomes the rear army, and the rear army becomes the front army. Let's go to the upper capital to kill."

As soon as this remark came out, some young generals of the Western Army beside him were extremely surprised.If you don't save Youyan, should you still use the strategy of encircling Wei and saving Zhao?This little captain is also too courageous, if something happens to You Yan, who can bear the burden.

At this time, a small soldier ran over from a distance, panting: "General, the Jurchen really went to Youyan Yizhou Mansion, and fought a bloody battle with Shaozai in the suburbs of Yizhou a few days ago."

Yao Pingzhong sighed, but decided to continue his plot and lead his troops to the capital.When he is on the Youyan, the effect he can play is limited, but if he really fights back to the Khitan's homeland and stirs up the Khitan people in the rear to make trouble and rebel, it will be the best for the Jurchen in the Youyan land. fatal blow.

Of course, the premise of all this is that Youyan's Song army can block the Jurchen's two-pronged attack and survive for as long as possible.
