Chapter 31 Breaking the Formation

Gao Huaiyuan blushed slightly. Compared with Meng Gong's calmness, he seemed a little younger. No wonder Meng Gong could become such a famous general in later generations. This psychological quality is really extraordinary, and he has a clear understanding of the situation on the battlefield.

Knowing this, Gao Huaiyuan felt ashamed. He coughed slightly in embarrassment and touched his nose involuntarily.

"Haha! Don't worry, brother. This is your first time to participate in such a battle. There is no need to belittle yourself. Brother Yu was probably not as calm as you when he saw this scene for the first time! Let's see, the good days of the Jin Army's cavalry have come to an end.

Yes!" Meng Gong saw Gao Huaiyuan's embarrassment, so he smiled and said to him.

Hearing what Meng Gong said, Gao Huaiyuan no longer felt embarrassed. After all, this was the first time he had experienced such a scene. It was natural to be a little nervous. After all, compared to Meng Gong, he had experienced

There are relatively few such scenes!

So Gao Huaiyuan calmed down and continued to look at the battle situation on both wings. Sure enough, after the Jin Army broke through the front lines of the Song Army on both wings, the Song Army in the center began to press forward under the command of their respective generals. Gradually, the

Containing the momentum of the Jin Army's deep assault, a large number of Song troops pressed forward, making the formation in front of the Jin Army's cavalry more and more dense. After knocking away several Song troops in a row, the cavalry in front gradually lost its impact.

, the speed began to slow down.

Now it was the turn of the Jin Army cavalry to have a nightmare. Once the horses lost their impact, they were quickly squeezed into the crowd by the Song Army coming up from all directions. Although they kept waving their arms and slashing,

The soldiers of the Song Army around them started to fight back, but the Song Army also began to have the strength to fight back. The shield soldiers held up their shields to parry their attacks, stabbing or slashing the single swords and spears in their hands, and there were still spearmen in the distance.

They used their spears to assassinate the Jin soldiers sitting high on their horses. After the Jin soldiers achieved a small victory for a short time, the Jin soldiers in front were finally exhausted and fell into the Song army's formation.

One by one, the Jin soldiers screamed miserably and were knocked off their horses. They were instantly submerged in the crowd. They were hacked to death by the surrounding Song troops. They were cut into pieces on the spot. Their blood plasma splashed in the crowd. The Song troops finally found them.

The targets who have been exposed are rushing forward like crazy, and there is even a stampede phenomenon. In this chaotic formation, killing the enemy is secondary. First, you must ensure not to be pushed down, otherwise, in such a crowded place,

If you fall in the crowd, you will be in big trouble!

Seeing that the cavalry in front was finished and the cavalry behind had no way to attack, the officer of the Jin Army cavalry roared and immediately commanded the remaining men to turn their horses and drive away. After fighting hard, they rushed out with the remaining troops.

The Jin soldiers on both sides of this battle failed to follow Wanyan Saibu's instructions and complete the scheduled tasks. After paying nearly half of the losses, they were defeated back to the formation.

.

After seeing this situation, Gao Huaiyuan secretly admired Meng Gong's vision, and his initial worries suddenly dissipated. He secretly thought about how Meng Zongzheng should direct the attack next.

As the war drums sounded, Gao Huaiyuan immediately heard that this was the order for the Chinese army to raise troops and press forward. Meng Gong raised his long sword in his hand and shouted to the left army under his command: "Raise your shields! Move forward!"

So following Meng Gong's instructions, the entire Chinese army formation roared with cheers. The shield soldiers lifted up the large shields that were on the ground, held out their spears, and single-handedly crossed the spearmen's queue and reached the front of the formation.

Then they moved forward step by step, maintaining their formation, and pressed towards the Jin army's formation.

Gao Huaiyuan's rural soldiers were arranged at the back because they were auxiliary soldiers. Gao Huaiyuan also followed Meng Gong's instructions and returned to the supply camp. After giving a loud shout, he led his rural soldiers from the supply camp and followed closely.

The rear group of the left army moved forward.

The rural soldiers were both excited and nervous at the same time. They were excited because they could finally go to the battlefield in an upright manner, but they were so nervous that this was the first time they had experienced such a battle. They didn’t know whether they could defeat the Jin Army in this battle, but

During this time, they had begun to gradually adapt to the atmosphere of the battlefield. Although they were nervous, they were not chaotic. They followed the requirements of their respective commanders and maintained neat formations, following the advance of the army. This was finally not done to Gao Gao.

Huaiyuan was embarrassed, which made Gao Huaiyuan feel relieved a lot.

The central army formation was like a thick giant wall, advancing towards the Jin army amidst the rumbling footsteps of thousands of people, creating a chilling sense of pressure, and the handsome flag in the central army also began to slow down.

Slowly move with him. Meng Zongzheng, a general with a literary background, is very courageous. As the commander-in-chief of the Chinese army, he could have left his army where it was and commanded the battle, but he chose to follow the Chinese army.

The army acted together to maintain strong morale.

After the Song Army on both wings defeated the Jin Army's attack, they immediately began to regroup under the command of Hu Zaixing and Chen Xiang. Teams that were in the front line and were too damaged were moved to the rear, always maintaining

After the formation was not disrupted, the rear army took over their positions and pressed forward with the central army again. The soldiers at the back quickly formed their team under the orders of their respective commanders, and followed the front team again.

A square array was formed.

At this time, the Song Army's original pin-shaped formation began to turn into an inverted pin-shaped formation. This time it became a pocket shape. Relying on its numerical advantage, it began to envelope the Jin Army's rectangular formation, and Wan Yan's match was inappropriate.

After seeing the failure of the cavalry attack on both wings, he immediately gave the order to change formations.

As the war drums of the Jin Army sounded, the disabled cavalry returned to the rear formation, and the various arms began to transform from the inside to the outside into a round formation similar to an oval. This formed a thick defensive formation, and the crossbowmen

They began to insert arrows one by one in front of them for easy access at any time, and the crossbowmen opened their powerful crossbows.

As the Song Army advanced, the distance between the two armies began to shrink, and they gradually entered the firing range of the Jin Army's crossbowmen. Then, under the command of the officers, the Jin Army's crossbowmen began to intercept and fire at the Song Army.

Compared with the Song Army, the Jin Army did not pay enough attention to the crossbow unit. However, as a country established by a nomadic people, after more than a hundred years of evolution, they gradually mastered the production of crossbows. However, in terms of the quantity of equipment, they were far behind.

Far less than the Song army.

Crossbow arrows soared into the sky, making a whizzing sound in the air, and scattered among the Song army. Most of the crossbow arrows landed on the dense shields, making a thumping sound, and some fell on people.

There was a scream, and the person who was hit by the arrow either stood up, stretched out his hand to break the arrow shaft on his armor, and continued to move forward. Some people hurt their vital parts and immediately fell to the ground, letting out screams, but no one did.

It's time to save them.

This is a cold weapon war. The importance of the array is related to the victory or defeat on the battlefield. The injured will only be rescued when the battlefield is cleared after the war. Once the army is defeated, they will be abandoned and waiting.

There is only the slaughter of the enemy, so in the era of cold weapons fighting, you can only wish for good luck and don't become a wounded person. Even if you die on the spot, it is better than lying on the battlefield and wailing.

Although the Jin army used crossbows to intercept, the threat to the Song army was not great and they were not able to disrupt the Song army's formation. However, the three Song army formations still maintained their intact formation and continued to advance.

After the Song army advanced for a while, a trumpet sound came from the central army formation, and all the armies immediately stopped. The front row shield soldiers immediately squatted down and used their shields to form a shield wall, and the crossbowmen immediately stepped forward.

In front, mainly crossbowmen, launched a counterattack against the Jin army.

At this time, a battalion of soldiers and horses emerged from the three formations of the Song Army. After a deep roar, under the cover of the archers and crossbowmen, they rushed towards the Jin Army's formation.

Although Gao Huaiyuan was in the rear army, he could see the changes in the army while riding on his horse. He watched silently, taking in all the situations and remembering them firmly in his heart. Such a scene he

It’s a rare opportunity. If you miss this opportunity, it may be difficult to see it again in the future!

Not only did he watch again, he also ordered the young men under his command to also watch carefully. This was a rare opportunity for them to practice learning. They must not let them miss this great opportunity. The few people with horses got on their horses, and the officers without horses

So I boarded the cart that was carrying the crossbows in the back formation and watched. Anyway, I couldn't miss the opportunity.

Gao Huaiyuan knew that the reason why the Song Army stopped was not to start a bow and arrow contest with the Jin Army, but to let the three armies send out assault forces to break through the Jin Army's defense line and tear a hole in the Jin Army's dense defense line.

, attack again.

If the whole army presses forward like this, it will be a big melee. Only an idiot commander would do that. The Jin Army's circular formation is very defensive. Fighting is not a group fight. It only depends on the number of people. A collective attack will only lead to defeat.

The Song army suffered heavy casualties, but it was not necessarily possible to defeat the Jin army. Therefore, Meng Zongzheng's choice was correct. Gao Huaiyuan agreed with this point.

They have nothing to do at the moment, and they have completely become spectators watching the battle from behind. They just use this time to absorb what they learned in the first battle and to accumulate strength. I don’t know if they will be able to do it next time.

They were used, so everyone craned their necks to look in front of the formation.

The three Song Army commandos roared and ran wildly under the leadership of the officers, forming three arrow-shaped arrays and rushing towards the Jin Army's formation, trying to carve three holes in this huge egg for

The army behind opened the door and defeated the Jin army.

And the Jin army did not give it in vain. In the sound of the drums of the Chinese army commander's flag, they mobilized archers and began to shoot intensively to intercept their assault. A large number of Song troops were hit by arrows and fell to the ground during the charge, but the surviving people

They completely ignored the dead and injured soldiers and continued to charge with their shields. Since they were selected for the assault, it meant that they were the elite of the army. Under the military orders, they all moved forward bravely, and they did this.

The archers of the Song Army also fired crossbows to provide support for the three assault battalions, suppressing the archers of the Jin Army and trying to clear the way for them. Both sides paid a heavy price in a short period of time. Hundreds of people were like this.

In an instant, he fell to this land forever, turning into a dead soul and disappearing between heaven and earth.

After a short period of time, the three assault battalions were all attached to the Jin army's formation. The infantry assault was not as powerful as the cavalry, but hundreds of people crashed into one place at the same time, and the power was not small. They were like three torrents,

Suddenly hitting the Jin army's formation, a red wave was immediately aroused, and blood immediately splashed out.

When the Song army rushed over, the spearmen on the outside of the Jin army's formation roared at the same time, and quickly thrust out their spears. The charging Song army immediately fell with blood spattering, and only a few people were able to get away from the Jin army.

With a thrust, he broke into the Jin army and chopped down several Jin soldiers with his sword. However, he was immediately killed by more Jin soldiers with knives and guns.

These Song soldiers continued to make fearless attacks on the Jin army's front line. Soldiers from both sides started a fight, and many fell in a pool of blood. Although these Song soldiers were also very brave, the Jin army's array was very tight and they continued to attack.

Although many Jin soldiers were killed, the price they paid was even greater. After many charges, they failed to break through the Jin army's defense line. However, under the counterattack of the Jin soldiers, the casualties were very heavy.

, had no choice but to retreat after paying a huge price.

This time the Song Army also failed to tear apart the Jin Army's line, and the two sides just exchanged fire. Gao Huaiyuan secretly cried out that it was a pity. If the Song Army had a sufficiently elite cavalry at this time, the Song Army's assault force would be greatly reduced.

It is more effective. There should be no problem in tearing through the Jin Army's formation! But this can only be an idea. The Southern Song Dynasty was simply unable to form such a cavalry team. The lack of horses had already forced the Southern Song Dynasty to equip an elite cavalry, which became

An unattainable dream.

While watching, a messenger suddenly ran over and shouted to Gao Huaiyuan who was on horseback: "General Meng has an order, ordering you to immediately unload the several crossbows on the vehicle and transport them to the front!"

Gao Huaiyuan immediately clasped his fists and gave the order. His heart skipped a beat. This was a good idea. The bed crossbow was really powerful. It would be a pity not to use it now! No wonder Meng Gong asked him to bring a few of these when he sent out troops this time. It turned out that

To use it here, you need a Yinjin soldier! It’s awesome!

So he immediately turned his horse and shouted to the people behind him: "Immediately carry the crossbow and move forward, move faster!"

So the strong men in charge of operating the bed crossbow immediately unloaded the bed crossbow and shouted the slogan, lifted it up and walked forward. The soldiers in front immediately made way for them to pass.

When they brought the bed crossbow to the front, they did not immediately separate the array to expose them. Instead, the shield bearers immediately organized a shield wall for them. One blocked the Jin soldiers' sight, and the other also blocked them.

With the loss of the Jin soldiers, the country warriors immediately put down their crossbows, strenuously began to string the crossbows, and placed the giant arrows on the crossbow bed. After they completed loading, the Song army blocking them in front gave an order and immediately separated,

They were revealed.

The Jin army on the opposite side was immediately shocked. This was like a bayonet on a cannon! At such a close distance, they did not expect that the Song army actually got several crossbows and pressed them on their noses. If they were hit, they would be hurt.

It’s so frustrating!

So some Jin soldiers immediately screamed and almost cried out of fear. They had the courage to fight against manpower, but once they exceeded the range of what they could fight, it was unacceptable. After seeing the Song Army display such a thing

, the Jin Army defenders in this section suddenly became panicked, and their line became unstable. Some Jin Army archers immediately turned their bows and arrows, trying to kill the Song soldiers who were operating bed crossbows.

But they were obviously a little late. At this time, the person in charge of shooting had already smashed the wooden hammer on the machine frame. Several crossbows immediately made an ear-piercing sound, and several giant arrows flew out quickly.

The Jin army evaded and rushed into the Jin army. Under such a blow, the Jin army only relied on the shields in their hands to block the giant arrows of these crossbows. It was just a dream.

In front of these giant arrows, everyone is equal, and the giant arrows have absolute priority to pass. Several giant arrows immediately opened several deep ditches in the crowd of golden soldiers. All the golden soldiers along the way were hit by flat shovel-like arrows.

When the plow was opened, many golden soldiers were even broken in half on the spot, and died horribly. Even the arrow shafts that finally lost their momentum still swept away a few unlucky golden soldiers until they completely lost their power.

, fell into the thick crowd of Jin soldiers.

Under such a blow, the Jin soldiers in this section immediately collapsed. Facing the terrifying power of the bed crossbow, they could not continue to withstand it, so the formation immediately began to become chaotic.

Seeing Song Jun's sudden move, Wanyan Sai was startled and thought to himself, damn it, this is going to be bad! So he quickly sent an order to seal the gap, but at this time Meng Gong did not give him this chance.

After firing the crossbow, he immediately led his army and rushed towards this chaotic place.

The Song army's shieldmen cleared the way and threw their spears into the Jin army row after row. They quickly took advantage of the chaos and caused huge damage to the Jin army. Then the spearmen, in coordination with the shield soldiers, attacked the Jin army like a flood.

In the array.

The two armies immediately fought together. In front of Fangzinu, the Jin army's unbreakable defense line was finally torn open by Meng Gong and his army, and the hole was quickly expanded with many Song soldiers risking their lives to fight.

Gao Huai had a vision that Meng Gong had torn apart the golden army formation, so he raised the newly acquired Yanyue Sword high and smiled at Huang Yan and others behind him: "Brothers, come with me to kill the golden dog.

!" Then he immediately rushed out.

Behind him, three hundred soldiers from the baggage battalion immediately followed, roaring and rushing towards the Jin army's formation. At this time, no one was afraid. Today is the time for them to repay their blood debt to the Jin country. Everyone is rushing to be first, lest they fall behind.

, each one rushed out like a tiger.

When the other Song troops saw that Meng Gong's soldiers and horses had torn apart the Jin army's formation, they pressed forward one after another, and the two sides finally started a melee... dd
