The Struggle of the Reborn Prince

Wanyan Yuying's expectation was not much different from the actual situation. The Shi family slaves encountered the Song army just after passing Zhaozhou City. However, what they encountered was not a small group of Song army's rangers, but a large group of Song army that was also sneaking. In the dark night, the Shi family

Nu couldn't see the opponent's flag clearly, and he didn't expect that a large group of Song troops would appear here. He thought it was the Zhaozhou Army cooperating with their night attack on the Song camp. When the vanguards of the two groups almost came face to face, they realized they were enemy troops.

, the battle happened unexpectedly, and the Jin Army's vanguard was instantly knocked down by the Song Army's dense rain of bullets.

Originally he wanted to plot against others, but unexpectedly he was plotted by others. Even the slaves of the Shi family were ambushed by the Jin army at the first reaction. He did not think about it carefully and hurriedly ordered to fight. But these people because they had just crossed the Fuma Crossing

The war horses were exhausted from the river and were sent to the battlefield before they had time to rest. Therefore, in order to let the horses recover their strength and to hide their whereabouts, the soldiers led the horses on foot and hurriedly mounted their horses to fight.

Now the distance between the two sides was close, and Wanyan Yuying followed Wanyan Yuying's request to use close combat to suppress the enemy's firearms. However, the Jin Army soldiers mounted their horses, but they could not speed up the horses at all. The Song Army's cavalry had already

They pounced on them. In cavalry fighting, people use horse power to increase the impact. The Song army immediately knocked them off their backs and rushed into them like a gust of wind. They slashed at the Jurchens who had not yet reacted with their swords.

A melee broke out. The encounter with the 'ambush' had already weakened the Jin army's soldiers, but when they discovered that the Song army's numbers far exceeded theirs, they were already frightened. In the chaos, they didn't know who escaped first.

, anyway, if one ran away, two would run away. The sneak attack team began to collapse. In the darkness, the Shi family slaves were also hugged by the soldiers and retreated. Before the play started, the protagonists left the scene in a hurry...

"If we catch up, we must seize Shaliang and set up a defense line!" Jiang Wei saw the sneak attack Jin army beginning to retreat, but he did not give up the pursuit because of the darkness. And his target was also the riverside road he discovered during the day when he was exploring the city.

Shaliang.

"Commander, the Zhaozhou Army wants to leave the city!" Now that the fighting has begun, there is no need to pretend to be serious. The Song Army lit torches to chase the defeated troops of the Shi Jianu tribe. The Jin Army on the city immediately found out and wanted to

Kaicheng responded.

"Order the 5th and 6th brigades to attack with all their strength, not to allow the Jin army in the city to come out, nor to allow the defeated troops to enter. The 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th brigades will follow me to capture the Shaliang blocking enemy brigade, and the baggage brigade will stay at the main camp.

The commander-in-chief reported a message requesting reinforcements." Jiang Wei looked at the chaotic battlefield and the Jin troops arriving one after another, and determined that his prediction was correct. The main battlefield was on the river bank, not Zhaozhou City, and he ordered again.

Maybe God no longer favored the Jurchens who were dying. Instead of helping Wanyan Yuying like he helped Aguda, he possessed Jiang Wei, allowing him to see through Wanyan Yuying's night attack plan in advance. And Jiang Wei

After figuring it out, he did not hesitate. He immediately summoned the generals to discuss matters and ordered the entire army to prepare for war. He ordered the fifth brigade to move forward to monitor the Zhaozhou Army. He personally led the first brigade and the second brigade to search and advance towards the river bank, and the remaining three brigades

As a reserve force, we can reinforce each unit at any time after further understanding of the enemy's intentions.

When the two armies met, the Song army, which had been prepared for a long time, defeated the Jin army in an instant. After Jiang Wei checked, he found that the number of the Jin army was not as large as expected, but their clothes and armor were not dry, and their horses were still covered with water stains.

Then he understood that the enemy troops were in trouble when crossing the river. These enemy troops were just the vanguard troops sent out, and the army was still crossing the river and gathering. If he retreated back to the camp at this time, he would probably be followed by the enemy troops who arrived one after another.

, once the melee breaks out, your firearms will not be able to exert their power. Then the side with superior strength will eventually gain the upper hand. And the main force of the army is still camping thirty miles away, and it will take half a day to go back and forth quickly. But the enemy will eventually

I don't know how many troops will be invested.

Based on the above judgment, Jiang Wei believes that the best strategy is to block the incoming enemy troops on the river bank. It is much more advantageous than passive defense. The sand beam on the riverside is the only commanding height here, and it is also the place to block the enemy.

The best position. Therefore, his and Wanyan Yuying's judgments coincided. Whoever occupied and controlled Shaliang would take the initiative in this battle and become invincible first...

The sand beams lie across the north bank of the Hun Tong River. They may have been formed by the accumulation of sand blown by winds over many years, or they may be the remains left after the flood that occurred in an unknown year. The heights of the sand beams rise and fall, with the highest point being five feet high and the lower part two feet high.

It stretches for several miles, with a flat top, forming a platform that is more than a hundred paces wide, with only grass and low shrubs growing on it. The platform forms slopes on both sides, with a shallow shoal on the south side, suitable for soldiers and horses to swim ashore.

, it was here that Aguda led his troops across the river on ice and snow, and Wanyan Yuying followed the footsteps of his predecessors and landed here again to launch an attack on the Jurchens' biggest enemy.

When Pucha led his troops onto Shaliang, he couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. He saw countless torches swaying from the north, running towards them, and the sound of gunfire was much denser than before. In this case, no need to ask, he knew that his own side who was going for a sneak attack was being attacked.

The Song army was defeated and retreated. He hurriedly ordered his troops to line up on Shaliang, preparing to wait for the Song army to approach, and to launch a counterattack from a high position. He also ordered a group of soldiers to go forward to guide the defeated troops to escape to the two wings to avoid

Overwhelm the defense lines you have deployed, and at the same time report the enemy's situation to the unified army so that they can prepare for contingency.

The measures taken by Pu Cha can be said to be appropriate, effective and thoughtful, but he ignored one issue, which was the mood of the defeated soldiers. After these people were "ambushed", they were chased and killed by the Song army.

The only thought left was to escape, and the safest place was of course the landing point on the shore, where tens of thousands of troops were there to respond. So they didn't even hear the call from the response personnel sent by Pucha, and they "hooted" them away.

They rushed to the side and rushed up the sand hill. They only knew that they would be safe after passing the sand hill.

The defeated soldiers rushed forward, and Pu Cha was in a dilemma. He could not block it, nor could he not block it. But before he could think of how to deal with it, the defense line he had laid out had already been broken open. There was only a small place on the top of Sha Liang. After this,

After a while, even Pu Cha's people were suppressed, and the Song army rushed up with clear purpose. The Jin army's weak defense line was broken through in an instant. Fortunately, there were so many people on top, the Song army could not fight again.

It was very difficult to move forward. After a period of chaos, most of the people were able to retreat safely to the open space on the shore, but Shaliang was also completely controlled by the Song army.

"The first and second brigades should not pursue, and immediately deploy to both sides to build on-site fortification defenses; the third and fourth brigades will control the two wings to prevent the enemy from outflanking." Jiang Wei followed the first wave of pursuing troops and rode up to the sand hill.

As far as he could see, the river banks and shoals were full of squirming men and horses. He hurriedly ordered to stop the pursuit. If he rushed down like this, he would only fall into the enemy group. The enemy troops with no way out would definitely fight hard. They would soon be defeated.

Devour.

When the dragoons mounted they became cavalry, and when they dismounted they became infantry. After receiving the order, they immediately dismounted and took control of the commanding heights. They used everything available to build simple fortifications. The corpses of enemy soldiers and horses and their own backpacks became usable materials.

, and soon a blocking line consisting of individual soldiers' bunkers appeared on Shaliang. However, due to the terrain restrictions, the depth of the position was too shallow, making this line of defense extremely thin. Without the support of heavy weapons, the cavalry launched an attack outside the range.

It only takes a dozen breaths of time to charge in a dense formation, and it is very likely that several consecutive attacks will overwhelm the defense line...

After listening to the story of the encounter with the Song army reported by the slaves of the Shi family, Wanyan Yuying secretly lamented that God would not help him. But now it was no longer possible to give up the attack and return to the south bank. The distance between Shagang and Huntongjiang was six to seven hundred steps, tens of thousands of people.

People gather in this narrow strip, making it difficult to maneuver. If the Song army pursues it, it will cause greater chaos, trample on each other, and cause greater losses. Although fighting against the water is a taboo for military strategists, it is not impossible when one's own troops are superior.

Turnaround.

So Wanyan Yuying immediately ordered the troops ashore to launch a counterattack across the board to recapture Shaliang when the enemy had just launched and their footing was not yet stable. He personally led an army to break through once the Song army's defense line was shaken and engage in close combat with the enemy. At the same time, he also

It is hoped that when the Zhaozhou Army discovers that the situation has changed, it will send troops to attack from the side and rear, disrupt the Song Army's position, and give its own counterattack a better chance of victory.

The Jin army's counterattack was rapid and fierce. Several teams of cavalry attacked Shaliang from several positions. The sound of horse hooves, shouts of death, the sound of rushing water and the sound of guns instantly broke the silence of this land for more than thirty years.

The Jin army rode their horses like flying, with their bodies clinging to the horses' backs, and bullets like locusts poured out at them. Although some people were constantly being shot and fell off their horses, they had no time to care and just kept hitting the horses' belly to make them go faster.

Everyone knew that they would be safe only if they rushed into the Song army's formation.

At this time, fierce gunfire continued to be heard from the Zhaozhou City. The Jin army in the city had realized that the sneak attack had failed, and the main force was suppressed by the Song army on the river beach. They could only annihilate the enemy with a knife from the back of the Song army.

The plan of the army forward was implemented. This not only helped the unified army to finish Yan Yuying, but also saved itself. Once the whole plan failed and the army retreated to the south of the Yangtze River, the Song army would deal with them first when they had free hands and pull out the nail in their own eyes.

But when the Zhaozhou army came out from the north gate, they were immediately blocked. The Song army had already deployed troops outside the moat. As soon as they went out, they opened fire together to block the city gate. Anyone who wanted to go out would be killed first. Throw them away.

The Zhaozhou garrison who retreated into the city after dozens of corpses was really smart. He wanted to go around to other city gates to get out of the city, but he met with the same result. The Zhaozhou army, who was in a hurry, actually came up with a way to get out of the city with a rope.

Ropes were thrown down from the city, allowing the soldiers to climb down, but they did not know that under the illumination of the torches at the top of the city, they became living targets hanging on the city wall. The move out of the city was easily crushed by the Song army again... (To be continued)
