Start: Datang Wanli a lonely city

Chapter 494 Is it Xiaoshangqiao again? (two chapters in one)

Raising his right hand, he touched the brim of the helmet with his palm.

After discovering that under the hand, there is already an obvious moist feeling on the palm.

At that time, Fenghuahui, who was in the third infantry division, was in the ranks of the guard battalion. This rookie couldn't help but turned his head and looked towards the position of the Chinese army.

At the same time, in his mouth, he scolded such a sentence in a hurry:
"What the hell! Why didn't Hu Biao make a move when he was rushing to the street.

Ink on a woolen thread?The rain seems to be getting bigger and bigger. If he doesn't start fighting before it rains heavily, will he wait until the gunpowder is all damp before he is willing to do it? "

Let Fenghuahui, a rookie, scold the background of such a sentence.

That's because the current time is already in the early eight o'clock in the morning.

In fact, at around [-]:[-], the new army of the Song Dynasty was already outside the camp. In a large open wheat field that had been harvested long ago, the whole army had formed a neat and huge battle formation.

As for the Jinren side, there are now a total of 18 people in the big formation, but it was not until the present one that the assembly was completed in a mess.

In comparison, in terms of the formation of the two sides, the Jinren army was completely inferior.

It's just that what Fenghua will pay attention to is not the fact that our side can beat the Jinren in terms of queues, but why Hu Biao has not launched an attack for such a long time?
And those Congreve rockets prepared by the warehouse manager, why haven't they been launched yet?

Shouldn't we take advantage of the fact that the Jin people's foothold is not stable and the battle formation is not organized, first a rocket will be used to wash the ground, and then the whole army will take the opportunity to push it over?
Instead, there has been no movement, but with the passage of time, the very cold drizzle has finally fallen down now?

In fact, the doubts in Fenghuahui's heart are actually very simple for Hu Biao.

Then Wanyan Zonghan, one of the commanders of the Jinren army, should have at least two cavalry with a team of [-] people, and he is still missing.

This means that in such a most critical decisive battle, there is another great uncertainty factor.

In such a situation, he was really a little bit undecided to make a move.

As for missing the point that the Jin army's foothold was not stable, and then they could take the opportunity to launch an attack, Hu Biao didn't care much about it.

What the hell!I just want to bomb them with rockets to make them doubt their lives when they have made all the preparations and think they are safe.

Isn't such a scene more enjoyable?

Just when the steady drizzle was about to condense into a whole drop of water on Hu Biao's chest armor.

A war horse galloped towards Hu Biao with four hooves.

When he saw Er Fatty on the horseback, the expression on his face as if he had gained something, and the top Haidongqing Erhei who fell on his shoulders and so on.

Immediately, in Hu Biao's heart, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew that if there were no accidents, Wanyan Zonghan's grandson should have been found out.

Sure enough, Er Fatty galloped over and grabbed the horse, and yelled at Hu Biao: "Old Hu, Er Hei should have found Wanyan Zonghan's grandson.

In Lijia Village in the northwest position, it saw a large number of cavalry galloping at the moment.

Even when Erhei was investigating, he even had a fight with another sea dongqing; so apart from the men and horses brought by Wanyan Zonghan, I can't think of any other possibility. "

After hearing this, Hu Biao discovered that there were still some obvious traces of battle left on Erhei's body.

For example, the beautiful feathers on his body are now a little off and messy, and there are still some mottled blood stains on his mouth and paws.

For a king of the sky like Erhei, apart from a fight with another Haidongqing, there is no other opponent that can cause this kind of damage.

Immediately, Hu Biao believed Er Fatty's judgment.

In the following time, the brain began to quickly analyze this important situation...

Before and after, I have been fighting on the Zhuxian Town battlefield for so long; every day, I don’t know how many times Hu Biao, the head of the staff department, has studied in front of the sand table.

It can be said that after hearing the place name 'Lijiacun', some information automatically came to mind:
not good!It was the main battlefield of Zhuxian Town, which was far away from them, but it was a small village only twenty miles away.

If Wanyan Zonghan's cavalry went straight to the back of Zhuxian Town and gave them a fierce two-sided attack, then the problem would not be as serious as usual.

They can't even do it well, and let them usher in a huge fiasco.

Fortunately, as long as you leave Zhuxian Town and head west all the way, at most five or six miles away, there is a stone bridge called Dashiqiao.

If he could hold on to that place, he would be able to buy enough time for Zhuxian Town's battlefield.

After all, if Wanyan Zonghan wants to outflank them, he has to cross the canal called Yunliang River; without a bridge, it is not something that can be done in a short while. .

After thinking of this, Hu Biao had a decision in his mind.

In the rush of time, he didn't care whether such a decision was reasonable or not, and whether the selected personnel could take on such an important task, he could only bite the bullet and go directly.

First, facing Erhei with a very high IQ in his mouth, he drew a big pie:
"Good Erhei, you are really a good bird. After this battle, I will get you two female sea dongqings, so that you can have a good time."

Then, it doesn't matter whether Erhei's long howl is thanking him or scolding him.

Facing the AT next to him again, he said very seriously:

"Brother, I will hand over all the independent cavalry battalion to you, plus the Beiwei army led by Yang Zaixing, so there will be more than seven hundred cavalry in total.

After that, before the battle here is over, you must crucify me at the Dashiqiao, and you must make it impossible for Wanyan Zonghan's army to pass.

Wanyan Zonghan has at least [-] riders under his command, so I know this task is difficult, but..."

Hu Biao was only in the middle of what he was saying, when he was abruptly interrupted by the little white-collar AT, and he didn't say the words of "but why and what must be" in his mouth.

AT, who had already seen everything on the sidelines, started to speak:
"Okay! I understand, time is precious, so there is no need to waste time. Even if I die on that broken bridge, I will block Wanyan Zonghan's grandson there."

After finishing speaking, it was not enough to even look at Hu Biao one more time.

While turning the horse's head, he yelled: "Zai Xing, Zaixing, I'm calling you, bring your men and follow me.

Didn't you keep clamoring to stay in the Chinese army on standby, and failed to kill some golden men?Now is your chance.

All the personnel of the Independent Cavalry Battalion listened to the order, and you also have a share in this good thing; everyone put on some more explosive packs and grenades, and went to kill the Jinren with Lao Tzu. "

Under such an order, all the current cavalry under Hu Biao and the others.

After including AT and Yang Zaixing, a total of 711 people immediately took action.

They hurriedly picked up some explosive packs and grenades from the baggage truck of the Chinese army, then turned their horses around, and ran towards the northwest direction under the leadership of AT and Yang Zaixing.

Soon after, it disappeared from the sight of Hu Biao and others.

During this process, AT was able to see Yang Zaixing, an idol who is still a younger brother, and looked back three times in a row.

He didn't even need to guess, he knew exactly what Yang Zaixing was going to look at when he turned his head.

I couldn't help but muttered helplessly in my heart: "You concubine, what a crime~"

In the following time, he quickly adjusted his mood and began to think about how to complete the difficult task he was currently shouldering.

After thinking of something, he immediately turned his head to face the commander of the Independent Cavalry Battalion sitting next to him.

Like a machine gun, he asked a series of questions:
"Battle Commander Zhou, I heard that you are from Zhuxian Town, are you familiar with the terrain at Dashiqiao?

Do you know how wide the river is, whether it is fast or slow, and how deep is the water?If you swim by holding the horse's neck, is it difficult or not, and can you do it. "

After hearing such a series of questions, Battalion Commander Zhou just opened his mouth and came:
"Sister-in-law, I know these things well.

The river where the big stone bridge is located has relatively gentle water flow, so the river surface is also wider, about seventeen or eighty feet wide, and the deepest part of the water can be three feet wide.

No, although those golden cavalrymen are all in heavy armor, so although swimming is somewhat difficult, it is not impossible at all.

correct!The big stone bridge still has a name in our local people's mouth, and it is called Xiaoshang bridge by everyone. "

After hearing the first half sentence, the mood in AT's heart is still quite good.

The main reason was that he was thinking that as long as the only big stone bridge was blocked, no matter how powerful those golden cavalry were, facing them with bows and arrows and short guns while swimming was just some targets.

But after hearing the last half of the sentence, I suddenly felt that the whole person was a little bit bad.

Why?As a fan of Yang Zaixing, he didn't know that this little brother died in Xiaoshangqiao in the original historical line.

Originally, AT was still thinking flatteredly that the small Shangqiao was in the Luohe area, and it was more than 200 miles away from the battlefield of Zhuxian Town.

Then this little brother Yang Zaixing was finally able to escape the damn fate of being stuck in the mud and being shot to death by Jin Bing.

As a result, after hearing such a statement, my heart was inexplicably full of sadness.

He faintly felt that Yang Zaixing might be in a lot of trouble today...

*******
The situation of AT, Yang Zaixing and others in Xiaoshangqiao will be discussed later. Now let us readjust our sights to the main battlefield of Zhuxian Town.

He made a decision in his heart, and issued an order for AT and Yang Zaixing to immediately lead people to block the bridgehead.

Hu Biao chose to trust his teammates, and then gathered all his thoughts and put them all on the current battlefield.

After taking a deep breath of the cold and humid air, he sank under his dantian, and roared out:
"The whole army is attacking~"

Under such an order, the flag bearers around him immediately waved the flag vigorously; the sound of the loud drums also resounded at the same time.

Then, under the command of such signals, grassroots officers like Hou San also issued orders to 'advance'.

Immediately, amidst the relaxed drumbeats played by the military musicians one by one, everyone moved forward at a neat pace.

Only here in the Chinese Army, there are about 3000 people who are temporarily stationary; even the artillery of the Independent Artillery Brigade has begun to move forward.

He had a bayonet attached to a cannon, and it hit the golden man's forehead and fired.

Specifically, those small Franco cannons, which were lighter in weight, were added to the formations of infantry companies.

Each gun is equipped with a mule, gunners, guards, logistics personnel, etc., a total of ten people, which can be regarded as strengthening the firepower of some infantry companies.

Those Napoleon field guns are just a little more troublesome.

Because the 6-pound gun weighs 400 kilograms after including the wheels and gun mounts; the 12-pound gun weighs 550 kilograms.

Therefore, these guns are basically in groups of three, and they start to move forward under the dragging and pushing of a lot of manpower.

Each group of artillery also has a large number of gunners, mules and horses pulling propellant and shells, logistics personnel who carry shells, and personnel in charge of defense.

Added up, the number of people also exceeds two hundred.

This is also counting the cannons that have been continuously replenished from Kaifeng City during the past half month; the number of large and small artillery in the entire new army is just 23.

But such 237 cannons are the biggest reason why there are 8600 people...

After yelling out the order of 'the whole army attack', Hu Biao waited for about three or four minutes before issuing a new order to a guard next to him:
"Signal for 'Congreve rocket launch'."

Under such an order, a guard took out an unusually large sky-swapping monkey, placed it on the ground and quickly ignited it.

This thing immediately soared into the sky, and it exploded with a 'pop~'.

The reason for this is that at this moment, the golden formation on the opposite side is also moving.

To be more specific, he saw that the Song people in front of them were actively pushing towards this side in the drizzle.

On Wanyan Zongwang's face, there was a disdainful sneer, and at the same time, he cursed:
"Things who don't know how to live or die, since they want to seek death, then I will help you."

Then, he yelled out again:
Xi Yin, take the kidnappers and horses to attack the opponent's central army from the left and right flanks, and capture Hu Yitong alive; let these Song people know that without the benefits of camps and firearms, they are nothing more than local chickens and dogs.

He also informed the rest of the army to attack together, and after the fight, they would go to the camp of the Song army to enjoy the court food.

These Song people are very skilled, and the food they produced called 'canned braised chicken' is still quite delicious; just after it was captured, it served as wine for today's big victory. "

After hearing such a sentence, Wanyan Xiyin's face was immediately full of excitement.

That's right!In today's decisive battle, these Jurchens finally planned to fight in person instead of driving their cannon fodder to die.

Or put the most elite "kidnapper horse" they have on hand into the battlefield.

It has to be said that in Wanyan Zongwang's heart, it was a good calculation.

Although under the current circumstances, the "kidnapping horse" is dispatched to take the lead in rushing forward, there will still be a considerable casualty in the process.

But compared to the time when the Song army occupied the camp and the firearms in their hands were not affected, it was already much less.

The more critical point is that these Jurchens are thinking about standing up.

Use the powerful impact of the kidnapper horse to stand up in front of the cannon fodder of your subordinates, so that they can hold back all the thoughts that have arisen during this period of time.

Therefore, in such a calculation of killing two birds with one stone, those kidnapped horses who were blown into the sky also took action.

The so-called kidnappers are actually a kind of light and medium cavalry, and they are troops used on both wings in conjunction with the Iron Buddha.

Generally, the Iron Buddha is three war horses all covered in heavy armor. After being connected together with iron chains, they are forced to charge forward under the drive of equally heavily armored knights.

The speed may not be fast, but the impact in the cold weapon war can be fully explained by terror.

While the Iron Buddha was charging forward, the Kidnapper made a detour and outflanked the two wings.

It's just that even if it is a kidnapper horse, which is used to use light and medium cavalry on the two wings, the Jurchens on it are all stout, with iron armor and various weapons on their bodies, fully armed to the teeth.

For infantry in field conditions, it still possesses terrifying power.

As long as you are willing to pay a certain amount of casualties, it is also an infantry nightmare when you charge into battle.

So when the [-] kidnapped horses started one after another, under the command of Wanyan Xiyin in a golden helmet, they rushed towards the new army of the Song Dynasty.

For a while, compared with those miscellaneous cavalrymen a few days ago, I don't know how much stronger they are.

And one minute after the Kidnapper started charging up with great momentum, there were more than 1 Jurchen cavalry led by Wanyan Zonghan.

All the people in the golden army formation, whether they were cavalry or infantry, rushed out one after another.

Good guy! 17 people launched an attack at the same time, and the momentum of that scene can be said to make one's scalp tingle.

At such a moment, on the faces of all the golden soldiers, there is an expression and thought of winning this battle; yes?With such a strength comparison, no matter how they fight, they will not lose.

Under such a situation, Hu Biao issued the order to launch the "Congreve rocket".

Let the sky-swapping monkey soar into the sky with a 'swoosh~', and explode in the air within [-] meters; Wanyan Zongwang and Cang both felt inexplicably flustered when they saw such a scene...
