Chapter 229 Alu fills up the formation, Yue Erye uses his troops. Calm down!
Chapter 229: Alu is fighting for the formation, and Yue Erye uses troops. Calm down!
Although he had fought with Yue Fei and had fought against Wushu's army in the Battle of Tuogao, there were many encounters in the past years, so what kind of war is there? This was the first time in Yang Zaixing's memory. The two sides actually had envoys to exchange contacts and agreed on time before they could fight.
The emperor was just in line with Yang Zaixing and others' intentions. After the battle in Pingyang Mansion, Yang Zaixing had already realized that most of the Yue family's troops were elite trained in Ze and Luzhou. If the discipline on the battlefield was strictly enforced, it would be no problem. However, wearing a strong and holding a sharp edge to break the enemy's strong city, it still lacked some actual combat skills.
If the number of troops was larger, Lao Yang would have the intention to temper the Yue family army through the Battle of Hedong, laying the foundation for the future restoration of Hebei. However, now he is in a difficult position. Not to mention Hebei, even after taking down Hedong, he would not be able to use it, which would make Yang Zaixing carefully consider it.
"In the Battle of Pingyang, although it occupied the power of artillery, the main reason was that there were not many Jin soldiers. Less than 4,000 Jin troops, and most of them were Han troops. How could they fight against the Yue family army? "Before Yang Zaixing bid farewell to Yue Lei, he had met Niu Gao in the tent. Yue Lei analyzed: "In the battle of Jiezhou, Alu Bu really chose the right location. Jiezhou terrain was at the forefront. From Hebei to Jingxi, Fengxiang, the key points were all at the feet of Jiezhou, and it was the only way to Hedong. Saliyu took this place. If you advance, you could threaten the Hedong prefectures and counties. If you retreat, you could cut off the Zezhou to Hedong passage, and protect Jingxi, Fengxiang and other places. This place must not fall into Alu Bu's hands!"
Niu Gao and Yue Lei nodded in opposition. If Alu was allowed to occupy Zhizhou and use nearly 40,000 available troops to occupy Jiancheng, it would be difficult to capture it at that time! Moreover, Jiezhou can receive assistance from the Jin army in Henan Prefecture and other states at any time, and it is definitely not a strategic orphan. If you miss this opportunity, the Yue family army will pay a great price to get it back.
"So you can't let Alu join Jiezhou City!" Yang Zaixing's final order before sending troops to Pingyang Prefecture was: "Yue Lei led his troops to ten thousand cavalry first, Deputy General Niu will attack the cavalry of Pingyang Prefecture as the queen, and waited for Pingyang Prefecture to be safe, and then led the rear team to support. The former military affairs must block Alu outside Jiezhou City!"
Yue Lei naturally saved the effort of this arrangement. He marched overnight at the moment, fortunately, he was one step slower than Alu Bu. Fortunately, after going through hardships, he finally arrived at the salt lake several hours before Alu Bu to occupy the favorable terrain, which made Alu Bu dare not take the rash army or enter the city, so he had to set up camp and confront the salt lake.
Yang Zaixing spent two more days in Pingyang Prefecture, one to clear out the remnants of the Jin army, and the other to stabilize the order in the city.
"Although Lord Zhang is a minister of Jin, he is of the Han blood. Now that he is known as the common people of Pingyang, why not do his best to this state to honor the people?" Yang Zaixing first gave Zhang Haoxiao a great righteousness, and then threatened him with his power: "According to the rules of Jin, the state governor lost his city, not only will he not escape the blame, but he must also involve his family's small family. Why should he sit in this helpless crime with useful body? Now that the family is small, he is in Pingyang, and he has no worries, isn't it a waste? It is not necessary to use Han officials in the capital to widely use Han officials, but he still holds an important position. Moreover, the eldest son is an important minister in Shangjing and abandons secrets and turns to the light. In the future, he will definitely recommend Lin'an. The future is unlimited, so how can he give up on himself!"
When Zhang Hao met Yang Zaixing, he was considered a scholar who met a soldier. There was nothing he could do, so he had to honestly act as the "prefect" of Pingyang Prefecture under the supervision of Gao Lin of the Yue family army. This allowed Yang Zaixing to withdraw and lead his troops to the battlefield in Jiezhou to fight against Alu Bu.
At present, neither side can avoid this battle, let alone take it lightly.
"The cavalry was in charge first, and the infantry then led the Jiezhou army to abandon the city and attack, and attacked from front and back. If the Yue family army could not be defeated, then Jiezhou would be in doubt and defending the city was useless. If it could defeat the thief, why should we defend the city?" Alu Bu followed Wu Shu for a year and always emphasized that breaking the enemy is the best and attacking the city is the best, and he had enough confidence in his own cavalry. Although he was a little ashamed of Yue Fei, he still had the ability to fight against other soldiers. In the Battle of Tuogao, the Jin people had already remembered this bad debt in Yang Zaixing, Zhang Jun and Yang Cun, the middle-aged people, never could have the eyes of Alu Bu and others.
When the Song army faced the enemy, the cavalry often could not confront the Jin army head-on, otherwise the chance of victory would be very small after a battle. In the former, Wu Jie, Liu Qi and Zhang Jun faced the Jin army, they all used the instigation formation first, making the strong impact of the Jin people useless, and then they could kill and injure them with big axes and powerful crossbows. The cavalry had to protect their flanks.
If we were chased, the Jin people had never tasted this taste, and never had it! Zhi Alubu believed that although the Yue family army in front of us should not be underestimated, it was still impossible to win the battle in the full-scale confrontation between the cavalry!
As a result, when the Yue family army was well arranged, Alu Bu felt "unexpected" in his heart: As expected, Yue Lei was the commander, leading the infantry to line up more than ten heavy infantry formations, with heavy shields first, followed by a big sword and axe, followed by a spear formation, and finally a crossbow formation. In a word, after years of experience summed up the Song army, the most effective formation to deal with the heavy cavalry was first placed in front of the Jin army.
What about the cavalry? Alu Bubu was as expected. Seeing that the main force of the Yue family cavalry was shrunk behind the insurgent formation, it seemed that the Yue family army today was just like this!
"Kill!——Break the formation with me!——”
Alu Bu's bravery in the battle formation is just as good as Wu Shu back then. Wu Shu also has a bit of a Confucian general, and generally refuses to easily mount the Xuanhua Axe to rush in front of the army, but commands it under the central tent. How could Alu Bu have such a trend of planning and planning? Since following Wu Shu, he has always been charging forward, which is also a wonderful way to inspire the morale of the army.
Amid the roar, Alubu was the first to raise the long handle and thick back in his hand to open the mountain knife, and he rushed out of the formation under his command.
Such tactics were omitted even the one-on-one challenge of the Han generals, who were commonly used in the Han Dynasty, and they directly led their troops to attack, striving to make the Yue family army's infantry formation collapse, and then they chased the cavalry one-sidedly, and there was no suspense in the war.
"Boom!—Boom!——"
The more than 20,000 cavalry of the Jin army did not need to be commanded, so they naturally followed the commander out. On the banks of the salt lake, the undried shore was splattered into splashing mud. The vibration of the ground made the lake surface appear huge ripples, and the birds in the distance were flapping their wings and flying high!
Yue Lei gently pulled his horse, and the huge shield behind him cracked a hole, hid him and his men and horses into the formation. After the handsome flag also moved into the formation, he turned around and stared at the main force of the Jin army who was accelerating step by step.
After Yang Zaixing was behind the formation, the cavalry under his command all stepped on the ground nervously. The troops stopped their horses to stop the war horses from attacking. Yang Zaixing was worried: "Can the stair formation repeatedly practiced in Zezhou City withstand such a powerful test?"
"Shoot the arrow!"
Alu's army was close to within 200 steps, and the head coaches of both sides had already met. Yue Lei finally calmed down, expressionless, and ordered loudly.
With thousands of horses galloping, the two armies are facing each other, this kind of calmness is what they need!
The flag officer under the commander waved the medium-sized flag. Before the front line was moved, the powerful crossbow in the back team took the lead in making achievements. A bowstring sounded, and the golden cavalry suddenly screamed loudly under the rain of arrows. In an instant, hundreds of cavalry were caught in the horse. However, at this time, the Jin army's cavalry and shooting masters had already fired long arrows, and soldiers began to fall in the Yue family's infantry formation.
At a distance of two hundred steps, the Jin army was attacking with all their might, so where could they still send out the third arrow? The Yue family army had just launched the second round of arrow rain, and the front row of Jin cavalry had already hit the Song army's shield.
"Dong!Dong!Dong!--"
It was like a collision between a giant tree. The fast-speed cavalry collided with the shield weighing 100 kilograms. Alu, who was a little half a step later, screamed and gently slowed down his speed: The impact sound was not like hitting a shield? It was like hitting a mud wall! It turned out that behind this row of shield surfaces, each shield was supported by two rafters, one long and one short, and inserted into the soil to fill a foot!
With the collision, there were only two or three shields in the Yue family's army that were not upright enough and were knocked down by the golden cavalry. The rest of the place was still unmoved, but the long axe behind the shield hand had suddenly extended out of the half-foot space between the shield surface. The golden cavalry in front of him was often chopped by an axe, and blood and flesh were splattered everywhere!
The shields that were knocked down were the most intense battles. The golden cavalry squeezed in desperately, while the Yue family army's big sword and giant axe were like a meat grinder, and everyone who entered the effective cutting range was broken!
"Shoot the arrow! -Shoot the arrow! -"
The Jin army squeezed in front reacted and screamed repeatedly. The Jin army behind began to concentrate arrows into the gap. The defending Yue family's swordsman began to damage under the dense rain of arrows, but then the powerful crossbows issued from the Yue family's rear formation killed the Jin army several times. Seeing the torn opening immediately, the Jin people were unable to do anything outside the formation!
Seeing that the Jin army's rushing forward had been curbed, Yue Lei no longer hesitated and ordered: "Cabinets attack!"
At the place where the flag was raised, Niu Gao was very happy in the rear: "Good nephew, it's finally the old uncle Niu's turn to fight! Men, kill the thief and make achievements! Kill—"
When Yang Zaixing saw the flag, he raised his eyebrows and made an iron spear. Ten thousand cavalry followed closely, and Niu Gao went out from behind the stair formation, strangled into a group of Jin troops that had already been crowded.
The Jurchen cavalry is truly worthy of its reputation!
Although the attack on the insurgent formation had failed, the strong enemy did not show any defeat at the moment. Instead, they fought each other and met the Yue family cavalry who had been picked up from both wings. Amid the shouts, several Bo Jin raised swords and spears and ran up to Yang Zaixing.
Yang Zaixing was unwilling to do so. He picked up a huge spear flower and brought several golden generals into it. All the golden generals felt that the iron spear was coming towards him. They were shocked. They raised their weapons to resist, but heard a delicate sound of metal and iron fighting. The gun was very powerful, but it fell down like a joke.
When the Jin generals were wondering, they saw gun flowers rising. This time, they were no longer like storms, but golden snakes danced around, cold plums bloomed, and the gun blade shot into the generals' straits. It was as fast as lightning, and there was no hope of rescue. After a slight "hissing" sound, several Jin generals threw their soldiers off their horses, and several blood fountains surged out of their bodies. Only one Jin general slashed Yang Zaixing's iron armor, but he was no longer able to continue, and he didn't even cut out a white seal!
When Alu looked around, he saw two iron dragons stirring into the Jin army formation. Wherever he passed, he was like a oar breaking through waves, without any obstacles.
