Chapter 730
Di Jia finally formed a formation and thought he could hold on for a while. But this can only be said that he had no knowledge, or that his brain was a little slow to react. After paying a heavy price, he still failed to realize that this was a weapon revolution in history. The battlefield was no longer a world of fast horses and strong bows. His confidence became the death knell that he sounded for himself.
At the end of the battle, the Song army basically completed the encirclement, and the two armies confronted each other. A reconnaissance cavalry came to spy on the direction of Changhua. After discovering that the Yingzhou army was surrounded, they organized more than a thousand township soldiers to rescue, but their combat effectiveness was too weak and they were defeated by the cavalry battalion. What was surprising was that the news of the return of the king's army after the defeat was defeated. The remnants of the Song Dynasty responded and organized volunteers to come to help, and thousands of people gathered together.
Ni Liang asked about the situation and comforted him, saying that the emperor's personal expedition was to regain his hometown and expel the Tartars. He won consecutive victories and had occupied Shaoxing Prefecture. However, he did not dare to let these passionate volunteers fight in battle to avoid interfering with the army's battle. But he could not leave them idle, so he asked them to clear the battlefield, clean up the seized, and search for the fleeing defeated soldiers.
What made Ni Liang feel worried was that there had been no enemy in Lin'an County, and it was closer to Lin'an County. He had two judgments on this: one was that Lin'an County had no soldiers to be sent; the other was that His Majesty took action and Lin'an County did not dare to move. But no matter what the reason, his most important task at the moment was to annihilate the enemy in front of him first.
"Master, we have surrounded the enemy. Should we rest and fight again?" Xiao Ting came over and asked.
"No!" Ni Liang glanced at him and said in a deep voice.
"Master, the soldiers are already very tired after marching for two days. Today, they have been fighting fiercely for a long time, and the water and rice have not yet entered!" Xiao Ting said anxiously.
"I can't die if I eat less, but if I can't annihilate the Yingzhou army as soon as possible, I will die when their reinforcements arrive." Ni Liang said coldly.
"Master, I know, but..." Xiao Ting still didn't give up and wanted to say something else.
"Do you only feel sorry for these brothers? They are all summoned into the army one by one. Could it be that this commander is just a stern heart!" Ni Liang roared.
"Master, I dare not be humble!" Xiao Ting hurriedly said.
"All artillery soldiers are in place!" Ni Liang picked up the telescope and looked at the battlefield and asked.
"Report to the commander, the rapid-fire cannon has occupied a position in favorable terrain, and the thunder gun is also in front of the formation, waiting for orders!" The marching Sima reported.
"Order to disrupt the shooting and disrupt the enemy's formation. When the enemy's formation is loose, the entire army immediately launches an attack and annihilate the enemy!" Ni Liang said.
"Yes!" Guantong's hand immediately passed the order to the front with flag words. Then Ni Liang left the command post of the Central Army General and moved forward again, and stopped less than 200 steps away from the front...
"The column turns into a horizontal line!" Sun Jin heard the sound of cannons, and he also realized that the time for the decisive battle was coming, so he changed the battle formation. The shortening of the front line made the three horizontal line into six, and the formation was more tight.
"Check the firearms!" After the formation was transformed, Sun Jin ordered again.
"The seventh regiment completed its combat preparations!"
"The Eighth Regiment completed its combat preparations!"
"The Ninth Regiment completed its combat preparations!" After a while of command, each regiment reported the situation.
"Get the bayonet and prepare for attack!" After Sun Jin gave the last order before the battle, he turned over and dismounted, pulled out the musket, and with a slight "click" sound, he finished installing the bayonet, and walked forward and stood in the forefront.
According to the provisions of the New Military War, in order to strengthen the density of firepower, all officers are obliged to join the queue to participate in the battle. Sun Jin was scolded by the governor and was also angry. After completing his work, he joined the battle sequence as an ordinary soldier and stood in the first row of the front line as a vanguard. As he entered, he was equivalent to giving up his power. If he escaped or hesitated, anyone behind him could kill him without any privileges.
‘Boom, boom, boom…’ On the beach without any cover, the Yuan army still stood upright, which was equivalent to completely exposing itself from artillery fire. Each shell dropped, which would take several lives. The shotguns fired covered a larger range. Although the Former Private had tried his best to bury his body behind the large shield, how could the wooden-skinned shield block the bombardment of the cannon? The ending was often the shield destroyed people and had no effect.
Di Jia also understood that he had no choice but to retreat, so he also arranged the most powerful soldiers in front of the formation, hoping to stop the Song army's attack, but the result was that they were buried in batches of artillery fire. After several rounds of artillery fire, there were already corpses in front of the Yuan army, and blood flowed into a river. However, the Yuan army also burst out with courage at this moment. Whenever there was a vacancy, the rear row immediately filled it up, trying to use flesh and blood to block the bombardment of the artillery fire.
"The great Song Dynasty is mighty, the great Song Dynasty is mighty, the great Song Dynasty is mighty!" The bravery of the Yuan army also shocked the Song army's soldiers, thinking that they were the elite soldiers in the world, but they did not expect that there were such fierce soldiers in the enemy who were not afraid of death. Ni Liang also realized the seriousness of the problem. He knew that sometimes fighting was morale. If he was intimidated by the opponent's momentum and lost all his courage, he would not be able to fight again in the future. As for the solution, the little emperor often said that you are crueler than you. If you are not afraid of death, we will be more cruel than you. Only by completely suppressing the opponent in terms of momentum can he completely defeat him and be afraid of him.
"The Great Song Dynasty is mighty!"
"The Great Song Dynasty is mighty!"
"The Great Song Dynasty is mighty!" With Ni Liang's roar, the soldiers of the army raised their guns and shouted repeatedly. Everyone understood that this was the last mobilization before the decisive battle and also a signal to launch an attack. Therefore, everyone shouted at the top of their lungs, releasing the heroic spirit in their hearts, timidity in their hearts and desire for victory.
"Progress!" The commanders of each battalion headed the team swung the command knife down fiercely and made loud calls for advancement. Then the command flags of each regiment, battalion, and capital pointed forward, and the sound of inspiring war drums also sounded, making people's blood surged.
‘Zhe,Zhe,Zhe…’ The rows of soldiers in the procession were not only neatly like knife cutting and axe chopping, but also the leather boots on the river beach all fell on the same rhythm, making loud noises, as if they had already overwhelmed the roar of artillery firing and suppressed the explosion of the shells falling to the ground. The surging Tianmu River seemed to have also been silent by the momentum of the Song army, making only a sense of as if only their powerful footsteps remained in the world...
"Is this the Song army?" After the Song army infantry launched a full-line attack, the sound of artillery gradually stopped, and the wind quickly blew away the smoke of gunpowder on the battlefield. Di Jia looked at the approaching Song army and asked in disbelief.
Di Jia followed his father to fight on the battlefield since he was a child and participated in several battles to pacify Jiangnan. However, the performance of the Song army made him very despised. Once he left the city's protection, he seemed to have no idea how to fight. His performance in the field was also unbearable. Once he found that the rear route was cut off, his flanks were immediately scattered and he rarely dared to launch a frontal attack. As a result, he led a team of 100 people to pursue the Song army's defeated troops for dozens of miles, and achieved the military achievements of beheading more than a thousand and capturing thousands of enemies.
However, the Song army I met today gave Di Jia a lot of surprises. First of all, he dared to go deep into the hinterland of Jiangdong for a hundred miles and quietly ambushed his own way of passing. Not to mention how he did it, this courage alone is enough to be admired. Then the Song army blew up the river bridge and cut off its retreat to trap him in this twenty-mile radius. In fact, while surrounding him, they also put themselves to death. If failure fails, it is no different from his current ending. Moreover, the strict discipline of the Song army exceeded his expectations. Tens of thousands of people were hidden in such a small space. It would be difficult to achieve without strict military discipline.
However, after Di Jia was initially attacked, he did not realize the seriousness of the situation and was very dissatisfied. He just thought that the Song army caught him off guard with the sneak attack. He used this shameful method because he was afraid of fighting head-on with the Yuan army and was afraid of field battles. Therefore, he thought that as long as he stabilized his position, he would turn the disadvantages and teach these Song army that dared to challenge him a lesson. However, the Song army seemed to have no chance at all and kept chasing him. The tenacity was no less than that of the Mongolian army, but he luckily felt that he had a chance to turn the tables.
But the current performance of the Song army made Di Jia dare not make any fantasy. The array conversion of tens of thousands of people was not messy at all, but the overall movement forward did not miss the slightest flaw. Even the steps to move forward were at the same point. Not only did he not see such a well-trained army, he had never heard of it. He thought that not only could he not do it, but even the most elite Khan's personal army, Qiexue, could not do it.
"Wanhu, what should I do?" At this time, a deputy general beside Di Jia asked in a trembling voice as the Song army, which was surging like waves, gradually approaching forward.
"What should I do?" Di Jia turned his face and looked at the pale face and his lips were trembling. He asked with a wry smile. At this moment, he could already feel the land under his feet trembling. The soldiers who were preparing to fight to the death had already dropped their swords and guns, and they couldn't help but retreat back. The personal soldiers and generals around him also looked frightened. You must know that these are all warriors who have been fighting for the rest of their lives, but they were sweating profusely and at a loss.
"What can I do?" Di Jia asked himself again. His 10,000 teams were all from the north, and there were many children and relatives from his hometown. Some of them had died here. Do you still want to bring them all to death? At this moment, the Song army was approaching an arrow, and the soldiers in the front line had raised their guns to prepare for shooting. He knew that the army was completely out of morale. And he took another step back and was completely out of the surging river, which had no detours and defensive depths. If he continued to fight, either died under the sharp firearms of the Song army, or was driven into the river and drowned. Even if he wanted to guard all his baggage, the arrows would be exhausted. How could he defend it?
"Wanhu..." At this time, the deputy general exclaimed.
"..." Di Jia suddenly woke up from his thoughts and looked forward. He saw that the archers in front were unable to bear the pressure of the Song army or were timid and slipped. He shot arrows as soon as he entered the range, and the others also shot arrows on the strings. For a moment, the arrows shot towards the approaching team of the Song army like locusts. Seeing this, his mind turned blank and he didn't know how to deal with it.
"Wanhu, it's going to collapse!" The deputy general exclaimed again.
‘Zhi, Zhi, Zhi…’ Di Jia was riding on the horse dazed, and the footsteps of Song Jun echoed in his ears. The deputy general's exclamation made him wake up, but seeing that Song Jun seemed to be unaffected by the falling arrows at all, he still took rhythmic steps forward. Even if someone was caught and fell, someone immediately filled the vacant position and continued to line up without stopping, but did not fire a shot. On the contrary, in his own team, the archers in the front row just shot arrows randomly, and some people had abandoned their bows and ran into the formation. The sword and shield soldiers and spearmen who were supposed to go forward did not advance but retreated. The officers could not stop.
"Subdue!" The Song army was approaching within sixty steps at this time, and the cold light of the bayonet was dazzling, which made people feel heartbroken. Di Jia saw that it was difficult to stop the decline, and there was no other way to go except to wipe out the entire army. He sighed and said in a deep voice.
"There are orders for thousands of households to surrender!" As soon as Di Jia said, the generals around him shouted in unison. The personal soldiers rode their horses in the formation and shouted, and the flag-holding officials could knock down the commander's flag. Then the soldiers abandoned their weapons and knelt on the ground, fearing that they would not be "mistaked" by the Song army.
"It's really a mountain of defeat!" Di Jia sighed secretly when he saw this, turned over and dismounted, untied his sword, bowed and walked towards the formation accompanied by several generals...
"The general has orders to stop moving forward!" Suddenly the drum sound changed and turned to silence. The groups raised their flags, and the commands sounded one after another, and the divisions stopped at the same time.
"Subdued, why did they surrender?" Seeing that there was a sudden kneeling in front of them, and the swords and guns were abandoned all over the ground. The most unacceptable thing was Sun Jin. He was full of anger, but now he had nowhere to vent, so he stared and shouted.
"What's wrong with the enemy surrendering?" At this time, Xiao Ting rushed to the front of the formation and said to Sun Jin with red eyes.
"Oh, I'll order the shooting earlier!" Sun Jin regretted with a sad face. If he hadn't imagined shooting at the close range of a brigade, why would he have not fired until now, and he missed the opportunity? This made him regret it, but he had no choice.
"The general has an order that no one can be killed without permission or property without permission. Those who violate the order will be killed!" At this time, a communication soldier was riding in the queue to issue orders.
"Don't stand up stupidly, prepare to surrender!" Xiao Ting patted Sun Jin, who was still angry, and pointed at the enemy general who came out of the enemy formation.
