Chapter 49: Thunder and Lightning(2/3)

We can still trust him, but we should not bring Han Shizhong out to scare us... Firstly, we know better than him where Han Shizhong is. Secondly, Han Shizhong is a famous general in the world, a dignified marshal, and the so-called number one in the Song Army.

How can you stop me in person? He is probably just an ignorant leader of the rebel army, a strong country man, who doesn’t understand anything, so he just talks nonsense."

Yelu Yizhen hurriedly laughed with her again, and the others also followed suit.

The Taishinu was helpless, knowing that this army was generally Jurchen and half Khitan, which made him feel embarrassed, and Yelu Yizhen was protecting him... but he could only laugh twice.

But before the laughter subsided, a shout was heard from the front line, followed by intensive screams, followed by screams, neighs, gongs and drums, shouts of death, and cheers one after another.

The final finishing touch was a neat bunch of roaring sounds that broke through the sky.

It didn't take much combat experience for these Jin Army officers to realize what was going on, because there was no cover on the road, and the tragic images in front of the fence in the distance were clearly visible, and even crossbow bolts that defeated the enemy's bows flew directly to them.

It's only a few dozen steps away.

The chaos lasted for a while. Seeing that the main force of the Jin Army in front was in chaos, but because of military discipline, they did not dare to retreat without permission. After another round of crossbow bolts that defeated the enemy's bow, the Jin Army officers watching the battle from behind woke up from a dream——

The frontline commander was likely to be sniped immediately.

Immediately, a Meng'an quickly jumped forward on his horse, blew his horn, and temporarily took over the command. The chaos on the front line stopped for a while, but the offensive also came to an end.

The soldiers of the Jin Army hurriedly retreated to prepare, and hundreds of Jin Army's wounded soldiers were carried down. Wails were heard in all directions, and Sa Li drank. The generals were stunned, but they couldn't help but look at the Tai Tai

Master slave.

The Grand Master's slave opened his mouth to speak, but in the end he couldn't say a word - with the current casualties, he would rather he didn't make the right decision.

However, Jin Jun still has some fighting qualities.

Some officers had already risked their lives to pry forward, while others took advantage of the situation to interrogate the soldiers who had retreated, and quickly came to a conclusion.

After all, laymen watch the excitement, while experts watch the door. Unlike the cheering Gu Jishan rebels, the Jin Army had already seen the number of crossbows, the neatness of the launches, and the intervals between the launches from the three salvos just now.

They even noticed the landing points of the Song Army's three volleys, all of which were tactically optimal.

Therefore, the answer is ready to come out - the Song Army not only has its main force stationed here at Fenshuikou, but it is definitely an elite force.

After realizing this, the generals of the Jin army went to see Sa Lihe.

Sa Lihe's face was livid and he was standing there on horseback, but he actually wanted to retreat in his heart... Because these three rounds of volleys instinctively reminded him of the Battle of Qiaoshan and Wu Jie's garrison arrows.

The scene of constant arrows and arrows raining down, but the elite of the Jin Army could not make an inch forward and could only be beaten passively, with constant casualties, has long been like a nightmare, and has been engraved in the hearts of thousands of households in the Jin Army who originally had a bright future.

Of course, reason reminded Sa Lihe that even if the Song army was waiting for an elite crossbow unit here, and even judging from the fact that these people did not have copper faces, a unique symbol of Han Shizhong's tribe, they might really be old rivals on the other side of the Yellow River.

Wu Jie has gathered the elite troops who were stationed there that day, and it will not be like the battle at Qiaoshan.

In that battle, the Song army had an absolute geographical advantage. It was so high up that the Jin army had to feign an attack. The roads were narrow so that the Jin army could only advance intensively. Moreover, the hills were rugged with strange rocks, and there was a state city across the river to attack from the top of the hill.

.

Moreover, there are tens of thousands of the main force of the Song Army lingering ahead, and Lou Shi is in poor health, making it impossible for the Jin Army to look after each other, but what about now?

With such a wide road, flat terrain, and two hundred thousand households gathered together to form a solid one hundred cavalry, it would be ridiculous if they were scared away after just touching it!

By then, even if the fourth prince had arrived at Jingxing, he might not be able to save him from Ba Lisu's anger.

You have to fight seriously!

Sa Li shouted to calm down, then sat upright on his horse and gave repeated orders, but he pointed out a close confidant, Jurchen Meng'an, to take over as the frontal commander, and took over the first wave of attack with thirty troops to defeat three thousand cavalry.

troops and horses, and continue to maintain the offensive.

Then, they urgently separated out 1,500 horsemen, dismounted and entered the hilly area south of the battlefield, trying to bypass the fence and attack from the side and rear.

This is not a Tieling Pass, but a passage on the south bank of the Fen River. It is only a matter of time before we go around it.

At the same time, of course, we cannot forget the mean-mouthed Khitan slave who tried to defeat the Grand Master. Because of this person's involvement, Yelu Yizhen's Meng'an was appointed as the vanguard of the flanking bypass.

In the end, it was inevitable that people would quickly go behind them to cut down trees and collect firewood, boil water on the spot with buckets, and help the wounded soldiers take out the crossbow bolts.

Although it was a bit hasty, I have to say that Sa Lihe's arrangement was still in place.

From top to bottom, the Jin Army quickly stabilized their mentality and tried to continue the attack.

However, from this point on, they must pay a real and continuous price of casualties. The enemy-defeating bow and the divine arm bow that can shoot through the armor within a hundred steps are not just decorations.

"The Jin Army is indeed no longer what it used to be."

After the Jin army launched another wave of attacks, Jieyuan returned from the front line to report, but did not mention the specific military situation.

"how to say?"

Han Shizhong sat on the ground holding an empty bowl, beside Zhang Heng who had just withdrawn.

"If back then, even if the Jin people were just feigning an attack, they would rush forward after a military order, regardless of casualties, and we would often be crushed by the Jin army." Jie Yuan frowned. "But in this current situation, the Jin army can't even be said to be facing the front.

It was a feint attack, but after they saw the friendly troops walking towards the flank, they already started to deal with it..."

Han Shizhong seemed to be a little nervous at last: "You won't fill in the trenches, and you won't push down the stone barriers and fences?"

"I only fill the trenches and push the stone barriers, but I don't want to get close to the fence." Jie Yuan shook his head in reply.

"Being hit by crossbows at a distance is not the same thing as being hit at a distance. It's human nature." Han Shizhong was relieved. "When I fought with the Jin people, I felt weird...why the Jin people were so brave and fearless of death.

, are so brave to fight and kill? And why are we all so timid that we flee in the face of the wind? Now it seems that Jin people are also human beings. Over time and thinking too much, we will also be afraid of death and difficulties. We

The more you experience and the more you think, the less absurd you will be...but you are still a human being, and you are not as strict as the newspapers say, and you will inevitably make mistakes."

"If we had the military pay and armaments we have now, how could we have lost two rivers?" Jie Yuan finally sneered. "As for making mistakes and not making mistakes... Anyone who says something unpleasant is the one who dared to serve the country.

The dead loyal ministers and good generals were all heroes. With the situation becoming more and more relaxed now, don't we have to fight for seats and give priority? Otherwise, if the deceased is worshiped on the mountain platform, the incense will be sacrificed. "

"You're right, it's not time to tolerate each other for the sake of the country." Han Shizhong thought for a moment, nodded slightly, but then slowly shook his head after glancing at Zhang Heng beside him who was obviously speechless. "But the two rivers have not recovered after all.

, it’s not the time to rest either… Zhang Tongzhi!”

"exist."

"First dismantle the fence on the north side, then go to the east and wait to clear the ground of the camp and prepare. When the Jin army coming around from the north is repelled, I will give you the military order. You can take action and pull down the fence in front of you.

We have to push down our own stone fortifications and fill our own trenches! We also need to allocate manpower to help the Beiwei army guard their horses!"

"I know!" Zhang Heng responded quickly. After a while, seeing that the other party was silent, he carefully asked again. "Is there anything else your Majesty wants me to do?"

"Go and serve me another bowl of soup. There are no more cakes. Find one specially for me." Han Shizhong handed the empty bowl to the other party, his expression as usual. "I have always had a big appetite..."

Zhang Heng was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly went to get the bowl.

Han Shizhong finally spoke to Cheng Minnu, the commander of the Beiwei Army who had already eaten. The latter understood and took action immediately.

The sun is gradually rising. Although this battle is an encounter, the Jin army needs to wear armor before the battle, and then they attack the front and give up halfway. However, they rely on the flanking troops to bypass the rugged terrain on the north to break the defense line.

, I was prepared to launch a pincer attack at that time, but it wasted a lot of time.

When Zhang Hengbu hurriedly knocked down the simple camp on the side and turned to the east again, there was only one King Han Shizhong in the entire camp. He was still sitting calmly in the camp, eating his fourth bowl of mutton soup cakes.

.

This time, he ate very, very slowly, but even so, when the bottom of the bowl reached the bottom, he saw the Jin army attacking from the north.

Under the sunny day, the morning moisture dispersed, making the field of vision gradually clearer, and causing smoke and dust to gradually roll up from the ground in the battle area.

However, when the vanguard of the Jin Army who dismounted and circled around the ravines and hills, emerged from a ravine, covered with mud and fallen leaves, they saw the Song Army's camp appeared in front of them, and they had a clear view, but they were all on the spot.

Shocked and dumbfounded - inside the Song Army's camp with the side fences removed, three thousand fully armed soldiers with bronze faces were arranged in neat rows, sitting in front of them, and in the camp behind them, including the rear of the camp.

The entire camp was filled with no less than six or seven thousand war horses and livestock!

"It's the Beiwei Army!"

A few simple elements, plus the bowl of soup before, made the leader of the Khitan Meng Anyelu Yizhen almost blurt out. "The front is to destroy the partial army! Han Shizhong is really here!"

"Start the war!"

Cheng Min did not hesitate, stood up immediately, drew his sword and pointed north, speaking concisely, "Go forward! Kill!"

The surrounding officers immediately waved their flags and conveyed military orders. However, when the three thousand Beiwei troops fighting on foot saw that the military orders had been issued, they formed a neat formation and rushed forward to attack the Jin army that was attacking chaotically from the flanks.

"Master slave, go back!"

At the critical moment, when the Song army shouted to kill, Yelu Yizhen, the Jin army who arrived first, had no time to sigh and turned back to the Taishinu beside him and ordered. "Let the two fierce men behind not come over and die.

Then quickly retreat back to the original route and tell thousands of households that Han Shizhong is really here! The troops who are carrying the Wei army and the troops who are destroying the side are all here, and nothing can be stolen in the river!"

After saying that, before the Grand Master's slave could react, he shouted with all his strength, then drew his sword and charged towards the top elites of the Song Army who were several times his own.

The Taishi Nu was obviously startled and wanted to chase after him, but he turned around and looked around at the few hundred people who had arrived earlier. However, they were all in scattered formations. They had to climb over the ravines and hills to get here, and only a small half of them followed his Meng'an and rushed over.

Most of them had a look of fear on their faces and hesitated, but in the end they stamped their feet, turned around and got back into the ravine.

With more strikes and less, waiting for work, and with the psychological shock prepared in advance, Han Shizhong didn't even look at the flank battle. He just pretended to be holding the already bottomed out mutton soup bowl and drank non-stop... He didn't know what he was drinking.

What on earth is it... Anyway, it is enough to make everyone who sees this scene feel emboldened.

At the same time that the shouts of killing suddenly rang out from the north of the camp, the Jin Army finally launched another strong attack on the frontal front due east.

Thousands of Jin troops, under the command of their respective officers, kept coming and going, wearing heavy armor, charging forward in waves.

The already dilapidated stone barriers were completely pushed down, and the ravines were filled in. Thick Jurchen heavy arrows were fired intensively, intersecting with the Song army's crossbow arrows in the air.

Within a moment, a small group of Jin Army knights on horseback approached the fence. From a closer distance, they began to engage the Song Army closely with heavy arrows using mounted archery.
