Chapter 362 Take Zhao Gou directly!
The Jin cavalry retreated and left behind, leaving behind a small thousand bodies in front of the Song army!
Wanyan Huo's girl decisively ordered the withdrawal of troops, but the troops were blocked. If she did not retreat, it would be too unpaid.
Moreover, they are cavalrymen and do not need to do any reorganization. The front army retreats and the back army comes forward, and then they can immediately launch a second attack.
Zhe Yanzhi's heart was bleeding. The Song army was not without cavalry at all.
After joining with the three thousand horses brought by Zhao Gou, Yingtian's Song army had at least five thousand horses. However, the five thousand horses were held tightly in the palm of his hand and did not send him any soldiers or soldiers.
And if he could have five hundred cavalry in his hands now and take the opportunity to spread it out, would it be so easy to see that the Jin thieves could retreat?
After putting away his unwillingness in his heart, Zhe Yanzhi knew very well the nature of the front army he led, which was a flesh shield in itself.
So he was not qualified to complain about anything. He quickly collected the remaining troops and reorganized the defense line.
Whether in the era of cold weapons or hot weapons, the army has a casualty rate.
Once you cross the line, the consequences are very serious.
Therefore, when commanding the war, the generals must not consume their troops to death, otherwise the soldiers will collapse on the battlefield, but they will be defeated.
Especially the Song army. Whether against the Liao army, Dangxiang, or Jin soldiers, they were hit by a blow, and the casualties and blows of the front-line army immediately exceeded the red cordon, which caused the front-line soldiers to completely lose their fighting spirit and collapse. The defeated soldiers then scattered and disrupted the subsequent new forces, and so many cases of defeat in the entire war were very badly defeated.
Therefore, on the battlefield, the generals must master the rhythm of advance and retreat, promptly withdraw the troops with heavy losses, and replace the new force with combat effectiveness. This is very important. However, protecting infantry retreat or blocking defeated soldiers to kill opponents is precisely the most suitable job for cavalry. The Song army has irreparable shortcomings in this regard!
Because the Song army had no available cavalry, the Jin cavalry retreated very easily. The soldiers of the Song army just made a move and chased after more than a dozen steps. While sending people to cut off the heads of the Jin soldiers who were thrown on the battlefield, they re-enlisted and lined up amid cheers.
It’s not that they don’t want to chase, but that the cavalry deployed by the Jin army on both wings are already ready to move! If the Song army cannot restore the array in time, they will follow and break the Song army formation without the protection of the spear and shield without a single charge!
The Song army's infantry armor, which was scattered on the battlefield, could not resist the rush of the horse army.
This is the lesson they have learned through many failures and lives in more than a hundred years of time.
With the departure of the former cavalry of the (Jin soldiers) and the Song army's infantry armor was already arranged, but compared with the previous three shield walls, there are only a few of the Song army now. Wanyan Huo's woman sneered and personally led the rear cavalry to launch a new round of charge.
Zhao Gou shook his head slightly. If there was no thunder in the sky, he would have frowned fiercely now...
At present, this formation seems to be the Song army winning, but in fact the Jin army has the advantage!
The Song army lined up to defend, and had the advantage of bows and crossbows. They concentrated a large group of armour and armor to repel the first attack of the Jin cavalry.
The formation will not fight, which is also the experience summarized by the Khitans after paying a lot of tuition fees.
Wanyan Loushi did not use the Xi cavalry in his palm to harass the Song army first, then put it into the infantry, and finally used the cavalry to make a final decision. This can only be said that the Jurchens really despise the Song army too much.
Of course, it may also be that he was eager to defeat Zhao Gou, because the Song army fighting against them was only part of the Song army. Zong Ze army outside Chenliu City and Song army on the west bank of the Hebei River would not be in vain to watch the Song army in Hedong being attacked.
Therefore, the war was the beginning, and he used real skills.
He didn't want to see the Song army on the west bank crossing the river to reinforce. He needed to defeat Zhao Gou before a large number of Song army on the west bank arrive. But he could also tolerate one or two failures of Wanyan Huo Nu.
After all, there are so many people in the Song army in Hedong. No matter how powerful the offensive party is, it rarely breaks through the opponent's defense once. It often has to fight repeatedly many times and slowly exhaust the power of the defensive party to occupy the position.
The same is true for the fight between Song and Jin.
It's just that he needs to shorten the time.
Wanyan Huowo’s second attack came quickly, and Wanyan Loushi, in the back formation, ordered Wanyan Saili and Da Tabuye to lead a large number of Bujia to come forward.
A heavy flashed across Zhe Yanzhi's face.
He fought with the Jin soldiers many times and fought several times. The Jin army was the same routine. He first fought with infantry, one after another, and at the same time he used cavalry to attack the Song army's array, which naturally consumed more of the Song army's energy. If the Song army had not much force, their energy would be greatly consumed and they would naturally become unbearable to fight. The Jin army's horse army, which was "restling" behind, would come out and attack with a fatal blow.
I have never seen a cavalry fight with a force as soon as I take action. Now not only the cavalry fights hard, but even the stair armor is overwhelming...
Of course, Zhe Yanzhi knew why this was.
The Jin people just wanted to defeat the Song army in Hedong before the large number of troops on the west bank of the river came.
In this way, they will definitely win this battle.
Even a large number of Song troops on the west bank of the river fled into Chenliu City, so what?
The problem of food and firewood alone is enough to make the Song army unable to hold on to Chenliu for a long time.
When the Song army was defeated and killed from Chenliu City, the morale of the army could not be compared with today.
Even as an army composed of multiple armies, the Jin people could even defeat the Song army itself as long as they let go of a "way of life".
"Kill--"
Zhe Yanzhi fucked the bow and arrow, "Stretch!" After a slight sound of the bow string, the feather arrow inserted into the face of a burly Jin infantryman as if he had eyes. The man screamed and fell to the ground!
Faced with the powerful attack of the Jin people, Zhe Yanzhi curled the front army into a ball, like a huge ant ball. Although it was washed away layer after layer in the torrent that the Jin people could not resist, his flag did not move and blocked him tightly in front of Zhao Gou.
"Lou Shi Bojin, why not lead troops to take Zhao Gou directly!" Poluhuo shouted to Wanyan Lou Shi.
Zhe Yanzhi tightly curled the front army into a group, and the distance between him and the Central Army (Zhao Gou) was even greater. Poluhuo felt that it was not impossible to bypass the front army and kill the Central Army directly. As long as Wanyan Huo was alive, Wanyan Saili and Da Tabuye could take the Song army's front army to prison.
"There are only a few people in the front army of the Southern Barbarians, and you can just watch it. I will allocate Sailly Langjun and Da Tabuye to you. I will definitely capture and kill Zhao Jiuer with him." Wanyan Loushi said.
Zhe Yanzhi's front army had only a thousand people, so there was no need to waste too much force.
A smile immediately appeared on Poluhuo's face. A large number of Jin troops were mobilized.
As the sound of trumpets on the Jin army formation was heard, Zhao Gou looked at the changing array of Jin army and the large number of Jin soldiers pressing towards the central army, and a sincere smile appeared on his face.
"Tell Zhao Bushi and be ready to fight."
The faces of everyone around Zhao Gou all showed a moment of solemnity, and everyone knew that the decisive battle had begun. Although the battle had just started, the Shenji Camp was Zhao Gou's biggest reliance in this battle. How many times did he tell people around him that if the ancestors gave him the law, it would be easy to defeat the gold thief.
