She Song

Chapter 230 Death Zone
The Zhenguo Army used artillery to raid the Jin Army camp at night, which did not cause Wanyan Xiyin to panic, but instead aroused his anger.

But soon, Xiyin calmed down and blew the rallying horn while the shells were flying. Looking at the panicked conspirators, Xiyin calmly sent a small team of cavalry around to investigate the enemy's situation.

"Why are you panicking? The southerners scared you with just a few shells?"

At this moment, a cannonball bounced and hit the tent behind Xiyin, but Xiyin didn't even move his eyebrows or eyes.

Seeing Xi Yin as steady as a mountain, the generals couldn't help but feel ashamed, and at the same time they quickly adjusted their mentality.

Xiyin then said: "Everyone has gathered his troops and is on standby! Since the southerners dare to leave the city, let them never come back!"

The generals were infected by Xi Yin and dispersed to gather their subordinates.

Soon, the four teams came back with news that there was an artillery position to the south, with four to five thousand infantry, and about three thousand cavalry on each side.

But it is difficult to tell clearly at night, so whether it is true or false needs further investigation.

Surrounded by three bars, trying to force me to go north?

Xiyin immediately realized that it was not appropriate to defend or retreat at this time, and it was easy to fall into the opponent's trap.

Only by attacking can you disrupt the opponent's deployment. Only by fighting in a melee with the opponent can you avoid being bombarded by artillery, and maybe you can reverse the situation.

"The whole army will attack the enemy cavalry on the right and defeat them!" Xi Yin immediately gave an order and stepped on his horse and galloped westward.

So all the Moukes responded loudly, and each led their subordinates to follow closely.

However, because the shelling caused great panic among the lower-level soldiers of the Jin Army, Xi Yin's urgently assembled troops were only a little over a thousand.

As Jurchen cavalry, let alone one thousand against three thousand, even if the opponent has ten thousand cavalry, they are not afraid. This is the Jurchen's self-confidence.

When Han Shizhong learned that the Jurchen brigade was coming to kill him, although he admired Xi Yin's quick reaction, he couldn't help but laugh.

Although he was not leading the first-class cavalry of the cavalry brigade, he was still a cavalry member of the Zhenguo Army. Although the equipment was not top-notch, at least he had a crossbow per man.

How many people are there in Xiyin?It would be good to have half of the people gathered to break out now. No matter how many people he comes, shoot him two quivers first, then surround and chop the rest.

"Ready the repeating crossbows!" Three thousand cavalrymen lined up in six rows, listening to the sound of horse hooves getting closer, they quietly raised their repeating crossbows.

Xiyin felt uneasy. The Zhenguo army dared to launch an attack, which showed that they were sure of victory.He did not choose to attack the artillery position because once the [-] infantry formed a defensive formation, the light cavalry had no other choice but to wander around and shoot bows and arrows.

Once dragged into the artillery position, the cavalry on both sides will inevitably take the opportunity to surround them. In that case, there is almost no hope of winning.

Xiyin did not believe that Han Xiaoyao would be kind enough to encircle three groups, so with more than 1000 riders, they could only choose to break out from the left or right. Only by defeating the opponent could they survive.

Tan Ma told Xi Yin that the Song Army cavalry was two hundred steps ahead.

"Speed ​​up!" Xiyin ordered.

After hearing the order, the Jurchen cavalry began to accelerate one after another, and entered the hundred-step sprint as usual. At this time, the speed increase was just in time.

Xiyin silently calculated, 150 steps, 140 steps... Suddenly, a row of more than 30 rockets were fired from the opposite side, landing in front of the Jurchen cavalry.

Thick clouds blocked the brilliance of the stars and the moon, and the burning firelight fell across the sky, clearly seeing the surging Jurchen cavalry.

Before the rocket landed, Han Shizhong had already seen the Jin army coming like a tide, and ordered without hesitation: "One hundred steps, shoot!"

"Boom boom boom..."

Three thousand repeating crossbows, six crossbow arrows in each quiver, and in a moment, eighteen thousand crossbow arrows sealed the area 110 to [-] steps in front of the Zhenguo army into a death zone.

"rush!"

Inevitably, Xiyin lay on his horse and could only order the whole army to sprint. With many years of experience, he knew that the situation would get worse if he stopped.Then, in addition to the sound of arrows flying through the air, he heard the pop-pop sound of arrows being hit, as well as the screams of his men and the sound of falling horses.

Xiyin gritted his teeth and wanted to rush into the Song army's formation and kill everyone.

The rocket shooters of the Zhenguo Army have almost mastered the distance of the Jurchen cavalry, and the rockets fired can always be seen clearly by Han Shizhong.

"Eighty steps, shoot!"

Another round of six consecutive shots, [-] arrows once again caused heavy damage to the Jin army.

Listening to the tragic sound in his ears, Xiyin was almost numb, and only anger filled his heart.

As if God was playing tricks on him, half of Xiyin's bodyguards fell, but he himself was unscathed.

However, he vaguely heard Han Shizhong shouting: "Sixty steps, shoot!"

Damn Southerners!
Xiyin hugged the horse's neck and sprinted towards the Song army, which was surrounded by iron walls. However, the Jurchen cavalry behind him were sparse.

The lethality of the continuous crossbow's large-scale and intensive projectiles was vividly reflected. More than 1000 Jurchen cavalry were divided into three parts, and a rough total of less than [-] survived.

Han Shizhong has basically judged how many Jurchens there are, and there is no need to fire crossbows at this time.

"Draw your sword and attack! Kill the golden dog!"

Three thousand cavalrymen shouted at the same time: "Kill the golden dog, kill the golden dog!"

Putting down his stainless steel mask, Han Shizhong took off his long-handled sword, urged his horse and rushed towards the Jin army.

Then, the cavalry of the Zhenguo Army in the arc-shaped defense line drew inward like a noose, surrounding the remaining Jin Army cavalry.

"kill!"

The red-eyed Xiyin almost tried his best and issued the final order angrily. Then, he took the lead and rushed into the Song army's ranks with a long sword in hand.

Five hundred versus three thousand, the Jurchens roared and followed closely to attack the Song army's queue, as if they had been given blood.

In the pitch-black night, Xiyin could only hear shouts, the sound of weapons clashing, the neighing of war horses, and the warm feeling of blood splashing on his face. Then, the strong smell of blood stimulated him to chop hard.

Time passed unconsciously. Xiyin didn't know how many people he had killed or how many injuries he had sustained, but suddenly his eyes were empty. He turned around and looked back, and there was still endless fighting behind him.

Unexpectedly, he actually killed through the six-layer formation of the Song Army. He was overjoyed and hoped that his subordinates would also be able to break through the formation.

When Xiyin left the formation thirty steps and reined in his horse, he vaguely saw dozens of scattered Jurchen knights, exhausted, fighting through the Song army's array and slowly gathering around him.

Of the two thousand cavalry, there were only less than 100 left, and Xi Yin's heart was as sharp as a knife.

He knew that even if two were exchanged for one, the Song Army's cavalry would still have more than 2000, and the battle would be lost!
"go!"

Xiyin decisively decided to run away, he couldn't die here!

But in the hands of Zhen Guojun, it is also very difficult to escape.

Han Shizhong refused to let go of the fat meat in his mouth no matter what, so the chase began. Using the rapid fire of a repeating crossbow, the Jurchen soldiers guarding Xi Yin were almost destroyed, and he escaped.

To the west, toward Jingzhou, Xiyin stumbled and fled in a hurry.

It wasn't until dawn that he met Zong Wang's rearguard scouts. They were shocked by Xi Yin's embarrassment, and the scouts quickly escorted Xi Yin to Zong Wang's tent under Jingzhou City.

Two thousand cavalry were gone in one night? !
