Chapter 1200 Living Hell
The Jurchens suffered a great loss when they collided with the Song Dynasty head-on. Now the Song Dynasty has formed a set of its own unique tactics.
This infantry formation specifically restricts cavalry and poses a higher threat to infantry.
The Jurchens' mixed infantry and cavalry formations were not beneficial to the Song army's large formation with iron walls.
The gap between the two sides is not small, and the most important thing is that it is in the ordnance and formation.
The Song army's formation was complete and stable, with flexible tactics, and multiple troops formed a hierarchical attack, which brought great pressure to the Jurchens.
This is a pressure that is completely different from the Liao people. The Song army seemed to move slowly like a turtle, but it became extremely sharp because of the application of long-range projection weapons.
The appearance of gunpowder bullets broke the fierceness of the Jurchens. The first time I saw the power of gunpowder bullets, the Jurchens and their war horses were directly confused, and the charge without any formation was even more messy.
War has always been a game between brave and wise, and no one can guarantee that they will win forever...
The Jurchens, who seemed to be killed, quickly used their ancient hunting wisdom and began to unite troops and attacked the Song army's formation with a large group of charge.
Shoot the man and shoot the horse first, and capture the thief first!
As long as the central army of the Song army was defeated, the entire Song army would be defeated without attack. This is the best tactic to deal with the Central Plains dynasty. Even though the leaders of the Ugunai and the Jurchen coalition were shocked by the Song Dynasty's military formation for a while, they still did not give up.
The Jurchens have always fought against the sky, the earth, and people. They survived in a cruel environment by their natural courage and brute force, and by their passionate and meaningless spirit!
The Jurchens who joined forces made a roar on the battlefield and galloped towards the Song army with their war horses. Every Jurchens was born a warrior. They could do things that were difficult for the Song cavalry to do. They had legs on horseback and their bodies skillfully rose and fell as the horse galloped.
Even shooting arrows immediately, with extremely high accuracy!
Facing the crossbow arrows shot by the Song army, they could move their bodies flexibly on the horse. When the war horse was shot down, they jumped off the horse at the fastest speed and launched a charge at the Song army again on foot.
In Shi Yuansun's opinion, such cavalry is simply a treasure, but unfortunately it cannot be used by himself or the Song Dynasty...
Shi Yuan and Sun Mingzhi did not send cavalry. The cavalry of the Song Dynasty and the cavalry of the Jurchens were not the same as the cavalry of the Jurchens. Even if they were fully armed and even if they were large-scale charges, the cavalry of the Songs had been unable to match the Jurchens for a long time.
Because of the lack of the flexible maneuver of the Jurchen, as a breaking formation, heavy cavalry is most suitable. However, if we talk about fighting on the battlefield, these heavy cavalry are still not good. The Jurchens' masquerade can easily pull the iron can off the Song Dynasty cavalry, and then they will be slaughtered...
At this time, Shi Yuansun wanted to be glad that the news from the Privy Council had predicted this in the Privy Council's deduction and issued a document to avoid the heavy cavalry fighting with the Jurchens as much as possible.
The Jurchens fell one after another, and rushed up one after another. Their fearless appearance made people wonder if their hearts were so hard that they didn't know what fear was. If they had been replaced by another army, they would have collapsed long ago.
Faced with the Jurchens who were endless like a tide, the Song Dynasty's military formation repeatedly contracted, and the two sides even showed mutual appreciation. When Shi Yuansun lamented the courage of the Jurchens, Wuguna also lamented the tenacity of the Song army.
Few people can have such a complete formation under the impact of the Jurchens. Even the Liao people had to retreat, either bypass or by encircle them with their numbers. However, the Song army still stood on the shore of Lishui like hard rocks.
But the leaders of Ukuna and the Jurchen tribes believed that the Jurchens were not satisfied with ten thousand and were invincible!
Finally, under the impact of the Jurchens, the Song army formation was shaken a little. The ones who retreated first were the central army and then the two wings. They slowly retreated to the shore of Lishui, obviously they could not resist it!
A glimmer flashed in Uguna's eyes, and he turned his head to look at the leaders of the tribes and said, "The Song people can't do it anymore!"
The leaders of all tribes, like him, also saw the retreat of the Song army. This was a rare opportunity. The Jurchens didn't know what it meant to be a one-stop work and then lose all their strength, but they knew that they were as fierce as a tiger!
The Song people retreated now, which was the time for the Jurchens to pursue them. When they retreated, the formation must be scattered!
So the Jurchens invested all their troops and tried to defeat the Song army in one fell swoop. With the sound of the trumpet, the Jurchens all over the mountains rushed towards the Song army. The Song army had retreated to the shore of Lishui, and behind them was the rolling river water, and there was no way to retreat.
Shi Yuansun knew the Jurchens’ intentions, and he planned to drive the Song army into the rolling rivers!
"Spot the cannon!"
With Shi Yuansun's roar, the personal soldiers lit the cannons that had been prepared. The red flames exploded in the air with sharp roars, forming a bloody flower in the still bright sky.
The fleet three miles away immediately raised its anchor and rushed to the Song army camp after seeing the signal. Shi San knew that he had arrived just one moment ago and completed the counterattack as soon as possible. Shi Yuansun's secret letter had already been seen. If he could use this counterattack to completely defeat the Jurchen coalition, the Jurchens would be sure!
Duofeizhen hid in the cabin and refused to come out when the fleet arrived in Lishui. This was a wise choice. If she saw the tragic tragedy of the battlefield, she would definitely feel unbearable, and she didn't know how to comfort her.
Even though Shit San was mentally prepared, when he arrived at Lishui, he was shocked by the scene in front of him for a long time. Through the monocular, he could see corpses.
Song people, Jurchen people, are intertwined, with hideous faces, and blood is even more shocking in the white snow!
The Song Dynasty fleet suddenly appeared on the river surface. The appearance of a huge shadow covered the rising sky light and cast a long shadow on the ground. The Song army made a strong cheer. The Jurchens saw such a huge fleet for the first time, and a sense of inexplicable fear arose in their hearts.
This is the largest Shenzhou giant ship in China's history. It docked on the Lishui shore behind the Song army and occupied almost the entire river surface. The giant beasts lined up spread out their fangs, and the black muzzles appeared densely on the hull.
The battlefield fell into silence, and the soldiers of the Song army did not say a word, for fear of disturbing the giant beast. The Jurchens stood there blankly and didn't know what to do. Unknown things are always overwhelming.
With the first sound of the cannon, countless cannons swept the flames, like a dragon's breathing. The solid iron ball shells bounced in the Jurchen army formation, and the air waves overturned one warrior after another. As long as the iron ball was hit by the edge... they were either dead or broken.
The battlefield by Lishui River turned into a living hell, with blood, flesh, and corpses. Everything was so fragmented, the burning smell filled the air and made people disgusting. The Jurchens were crazily avoiding the unavoidable artillery attack.
