"It's not that there are not enough troops, it's that Jin Wushu intends to concentrate his troops to fight. He wants to end the war before Yue Fei arrives." Zhao Ning said calmly, "There are so many people that we can take turns to fight, and use up our troops quickly to kill us."
Sun Fu said again: "Your Majesty, do you want to withdraw all the soldiers and horses to the city, let's defend the city until Yue Fei arrives, and attack Jin Wushu together."
"Golden Wushu must have heavy artillery. It is better not to defend the city than to defend the city. Fight if you want."
While speaking, the Song army outside the city had already begun to form.
There are 400 Song Army phalanxes outside the city, and cavalry are arranged on the flanks of the phalanxes.
(According to the "Da Tang Weigong Li Jing's Art of War", a square formation has about 50 people, and the small square formation is for flexible formation).
Between the phalanxes, there are fifty giant eight-ox crossbows.
A wide space is reserved around each eight-ox crossbow, and a sufficient amount of arrows are placed.
At the very front, it is where the artillery is located.
"Report, Your Highness, it's confirmed. The Song people dug a lot of trenches and set up many traps in the east, south, and west of the city."
After Wu Shu heard about it, he sneered and said: "This dog emperor actually played such a clumsy trick in front of this king. If he doesn't besiege the city, he won't be able to escape!"
Another scout rushed over.
"Your Highness, within [-] miles to the north of the city has been determined, there is no horse trap, no horse rejection post."
Hearing this, Wu Shu was stunned for a moment, and laughed loudly: "I understand, the dog emperor just wants to fight me head-on in the north of the city! He is really brave!"
Han Qixian took a map drawn based on the information provided by the scouts, and said, "Your Highness, the people of Song have placed a lot of artillery in front of the formation."
"Can artillery decide the outcome of the battlefield?" Wu Shu was quite disapproving, "Let the signing army go first, and see how much gunpowder this dog emperor has!"
The drums of the Jin army sounded.
Quite similar to the battlefield in Bazhou, a large number of signing troops appeared on the battlefield, and they were forced to move forward quickly.
Some of them think that going forward is death, and after walking a certain distance, they start to go backward quietly.
When someone stepped back, the people around saw it and immediately followed suit.
At first they blocked those who followed them, but more and more people followed, and the blocking could no longer be blocked.
"Report! Report! Shi Geli Meng'an! Those signing troops in front are all walking back!"
The scouts first sent this information to Geli Shi, the kidnapper Ma Qianfu who was stationed in front of the left wing. He was specially sent by Jin Wushu to monitor the actions of the signing army.
"Everyone comes with me, anyone who dares to retreat will be killed without mercy!"
Ma Lu, the kidnappers in front of the left wing, went out one after another. They didn't need too many people. After quickly approaching the signing army in front, they began to bend their bows and shoot arrows.
A large number of arrows hit the unarmored soldiers and shot them to death.
The crowd fell one by one, causing panic immediately, and those who had originally retreated quickly turned around.
The fear of death made these people unable to think normally, they ran in panic and collided with each other.
Some people planned to run eastward, and after running for a while, those in that direction also ran back.
Others planned to run to the west, ran for a while, and came back.
Throughout the chaotic process, many people were not shot to death by the Jinmen, but trampled to death by each other.
But who made the number of signers more?
Thousands of people died, but there were still a large number of people, like headless chickens. After a period of pain, the large team of signing troops accelerated their advance towards the Song Army.
"Let's go forward. I heard that the emperor of the Song Dynasty is in front. If we win the emperor of the Song Dynasty, we will not have to worry about our prosperity and wealth for the rest of our lives!"
A signing army commander named Zhang Hui shouted loudly.
Under his instigation, quite a few people cheered up and rushed forward with the big team.
"Will we be beaten to death by Song Jun?"
"Whatever, we're not at the forefront anyway. We act according to the situation. When the people in front are almost dead, the main force of our army will go out. It's not our turn to die. Remember, don't rush too fast later."
"Let me tell you, if Song people use bows and arrows later, they should lie on their stomachs first, on the ground. If they can find the corpses around them, cover their bodies with them, and don't look at me."
"I heard that there are not many Song soldiers in Hejian City. If Hejian City is broken, can we go into the city to grab some things? Our family is desperately poor. Just grab some and go back and change a woman for us. Renewing the incense will do the trick!"
While speaking, there was a sudden burst of loud noise in front of them, shaking everyone's hearts.
People in the big team couldn't see clearly what was happening in front of them, but as soon as the loud noise appeared, it continued one after another.
Among the loud noises, there were faint screams.
Looking at the signees who were blown away in front of him, and after listening to the scout's report, Zhao Ning waved his hand and asked Fan Zhixu to come over.
Fan Zhixu walked cautiously in front of Zhao Guan's house, Zhao Ning pointed to the front, and said to Fan Zhixu: "I heard that those are all signed troops, they are civilian husbands temporarily recruited, but such signed troops, Jin Wushu sent them up in one go. There are tens of thousands of people, tell me, how to deal with these people?"
Chapter 1451 Golden Wushu, times have changed (second change)
As soon as Fan Zhixu heard Zhao Guanjia's words, he knew that he wanted to talk about the impeachment of Yue Yun by the Bazhou Military Governor's Mansion.
Fan Zhixu said without changing expression, "Of course it's killing, that's the enemy."
Zhao Ning laughed dryly and didn't say anything else.
"Your Majesty, do you want to use crossbow arrows instead to save artillery?" Sun Fu said.
Zhao Ning said: "If you have a Yangtze River at home, and you drink eight bowls of water every day, and someone is worried that you have drained the Yangtze River, and comes to ask you to drink only one bowl of water a day, how would you answer this person's request?"
Sun Fu scratched his head and didn't speak.
"Does Jin Wushu think that sending some signing troops can consume my gunpowder?"
Time passed little by little, after countless brutal blows, the corpses of the signed soldiers in the middle of the battlefield were strewn all over the field.
At noon, the soldiers of the Jin Army ate lunch in place.
What's interesting is that these soldiers of the Jin Army actually ate dried meat, which was not common in ancient times.
This is also enough to prove that for this victory, Jin Wushu spent all his money.
Jin Wushu's own lunch is even more delicious. He also brought a special cook to cook him famous delicacies in Yandi.
"Report, Your Highness, two hours have passed since the morning, and the Song Army's artillery has stopped."
"Is it because there is no more gunpowder after stopping, or are those people not charging anymore?" Wu Shu drank the mutton soup, gurgling, but it didn't delay him to ask questions.
"Many of those people died, and the rest are in the middle of the battlefield, unwilling to charge again."
"Then kill another batch and let them try to lean closer to the Song army's front line." Jin Wushu said calmly without raising his head.
"Yes!"
Not long after, there was another sound of artillery in the distance.
It was past noon, and the sound of artillery slowly fell.
"It seems that the dog emperor has a lot of cannons. This kind of iron ball shells is beyond my expectations."
Looking at the piles of corpses in front of him, Jin Wushu couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
"However, no matter how powerful firearms are, their quantity is limited. This king has never heard that they can win victory only by relying on firearms. If so, the firearms of the Liao Kingdom were far superior to my Dajin back then, but why were they defeated by my Dajin?" Jin destroys the country?"
Not only that, in the first year of Jingkang, the firearms of the Song Dynasty were far superior to those of the Jin Dynasty. It is said that there were many types of firearms in the three towns of Hebei, but they were still defeated.
The reason is simple. The 12th century was still the era of cold weapons, and firearms were only auxiliary.
"The two-winged cavalry dispatch troops." Jin Wushu gave the order.
This time, the sound of the golden army's war drums shook the sky, and the sound of the horns also followed.
The group of kidnapped horses that had already been ready to go, like two huge wings, slowly stretched out towards the Song army in the vast plain area north of Hejianfu City.
The Golden Wushu army is about ten miles away from the top of Hejian City, and it is impossible for the kidnappers to run wildly just after they are dispatched, but even so, the people at the top of Hejian City can vaguely hear the sound of dense iron hooves coming from afar. .
"Has the Jinren dispatched their cavalry?" Fan Zhixu was startled, and spoke first.
The rest of the people immediately looked forward, but it was too far away to see clearly.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Most of the civil servants here were so close to the battlefield for the first time, and they finally felt the terrifying aura on the battlefield.
And the opposite is the famous Jin Wushu, the cavalry he dispatched at this time, is it the kidnapper horse or the iron Buddha?
Or that both the Kidnapper Horse and the Iron Buddha have already been dispatched?
Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but feel heavy.
In the dry air, a pungent smell of blood suddenly appeared.
Only then did everyone realize that it was the blood of the Jin soldiers who had been bombarded to death by the Song army's artillery on the battlefield floating over with the gusts of wind and waves.
Several officials even vomited on the spot.
Zhao Ning sat on the chair, his face was calm, and he couldn't see what he was thinking at all.
Not long after, the scouts sent up the information as scheduled.
"Your Majesty, the number of cavalry from the left flank may be more than [-]!"
As soon as this sentence was said, everyone couldn't help but discuss it.
Even Lu Yihao couldn't help frowning: "There are so many cavalry from the left wing alone!"
"How many cavalry did Jin Wushu bring this time!"
Eight thousand cavalry, what is the concept?
The interval between the front and rear charges of the cavalry is 15 meters to 20 meters. Eight thousand cavalry, counting [-] cavalry in the front, forty cavalry in depth, four miles in width and nearly two miles in depth!
And it's just the left wing.
"Your Majesty, the number of cavalry from the right wing may be more than [-]!"
Everyone immediately exploded the pot.
"This news is unbelievable!" Sun Fu directly denied it, "Where did Jin Wushu get so many soldiers! Impossible!"
"Is there anything impossible?" Zhao Ning sat there calmly, even showing an excited smile, "Jin Wushu put [-]% of the Jin Kingdom's troops on the battlefield in Hebei, and he can spend [-] I am not surprised that the cavalry is coming, but so what!"
One hundred thousand cavalry would have to charge row by row.
Is it possible that one hundred thousand cavalry can also charge superimposedly?
A fixed position can only accommodate a fixed number of cavalry, no matter how many troops there are, they have to wait behind!
"Your Majesty, why don't you withdraw your troops and come back to defend the city, wait for Yue Fei's troops to go south, and then mobilize the troops from Zhongshan Mansion and Zhending Mansion. Cangzhou still has some troops. The total strength of our army is not less than Jinren, but it is too scattered. "
It was Lu Yihao who spoke.
This is indeed the case in reality. Compared with Jin Wushu, Song Dynasty has too much burden. The long front in Hebei not only has to fight Jin Wushu head-on, but also deploy troops to defend each city.
But the situation has reached the point where it is no longer as simple as continuing to defend the city. This is related to the survival of the Song Dynasty.
Zhao Ning waved to Chen Gui, beckoning him to come over.
"His Majesty."
"How about the explosion of the fifth-generation artillery?"
"Your Majesty, the fifth-generation artillery can fire five times in a row at its limit. The range is 1000 meters, which is more than two miles. To be precise, it is 200 meters. Considering the influence of gravity, the iron ball will fall down. , for unarmored horses, the effective killing range can also be satisfied at 1000 meters."
Zhao Ning expressed his satisfaction with this professional answer.
"Is there enough gunpowder?"
Chen Gui said: "As Your Majesty said, Sun Shilang's family would not dare to drink the water from the Yangtze River."
Sun Fu shrank his head, thinking to himself, why did this matter mention me.
Zhao Ning asked again: "Where is the fierce fire oil, is it enough?"
"Enough for 200 million arrows."
Chen Gui spoke very calmly, every word he uttered was full of the smell of copper.
These are calculated and converted into wealth. For an individual, it will not be used up in a few lifetimes.
Zhao Ning tapped lightly on the handle of the chair with his fingers, and he said with a smile: "In this way, Jin Wushu wrongly judged me again?"
Chapter 1452 You don't understand the waywardness of having money and resources (third update)
While speaking, the roaring sound on the battlefield ahead became more and more clear.
The herd of kidnapped horses, like sea waves, rolled up a large cloud of dust, approaching like a rainbow.
