Across the Water Margin: Officials of Ximen

The division had never really fought against the main force of the Jin army before, and it was only a small-scale battle yesterday, so he still underestimated the Jurchen's combat effectiveness, and once again made the mistake of underestimating the enemy.

Now that I have truly seen the powerful combat effectiveness of the Jin Army's cavalry, it is only in Zhongshi Zhong that he understands why the Liao Army, which was stronger than the Song Army, was wiped out by the Jin Army.

If it weren't for the desperate resistance of the pro-army, the cavalry of the Golden Army would have almost directly killed the leader of the seed division.

Seeing that the Jin cavalry's impact was too strong and the infantry phalanx was in danger, the division hurriedly ordered a change of formation, shrinking the remaining four incomplete phalanxes into a circular formation, which enhanced its defensive capabilities.

The circular formation can deal with the enemy's attack in any direction, and it is not easy to be scattered by the enemy. At the same time, it can also inflict considerable damage on the enemy's counterattack. It is a formation that is conducive to defense.

However, in order to maintain a good formation, the circular formation moves much slower than the square formation.

After the middle army of the seed division regrouped, the casualties decreased a lot for a while, but the speed of advancement also slowed down.

At this time, not only the cavalry of the Jin Army surrounded the Song Army, but also the infantry of the Jin Army in the distance gradually caught up.

Obviously, if the situation continues like this, when the Central Army of the Zhongshi Division reaches the foot of the mountain, most of its strength will be lost.

In the dense forest at the foot of the mountain, Lu Zhishen, Yang Zhi and others have been hiding here with five thousand troops and horses for more than half a day.Waiting for the commander to issue an order.

Lu Zhishen looked at the bloody scene of the two armies fighting outside the forest, and his blood was already boiling. He wished to lift his [-]-jin sword and rush forward to chop off the head of the golden army commander.

It's a pity that now it's not time to roam the rivers and lakes. When he was the king of Erlong Mountain, he had to obey the military orders, and he couldn't help Lu Zhishen's temperament.

Yang Zhi stayed by Lu Zhishen's side all the time, persuading Lu Zhishen to stay calm and wait patiently for the signal from Mr. Xiaozhong's manager.

"Why didn't you send a signal? What are you waiting for? Why don't you let the Sajia kill those golden dogs?"

Lu Zhishen walked around in the woods in a hurry.

In the middle army of the planting division, the chief general in the planting division looked at the Jin army chasing and intercepting him, and estimated the distance to the woods at the foot of the mountain in his heart.

Lu Zhishen, Yang Zhi and the others were sent to ambush in the woods, originally for the purpose of launching a fatal blow when Yao Gujun and Zhang Haojun arrived and encircled and wiped out the Jin army.

But after the situation reversed, Lu Zhishen's thousands of people became the hope of evacuating the Chinese army of the seed division.

The division hoped to give full play to the effect of their surprise soldiers, and suddenly rushed out to intercept the Jin army by surprise, so that their main force could escape smoothly.

If Lu Zhishen's army was launched early, not only would the surprise attack be ineffective, but Lu Zhishen and his men might also be cut off and surrounded by the cavalry of the Golden Army after they came out of the woods and came to the plain, and they would be in trouble together with the main force.

Therefore, while walking in the middle division, he was observing the formation of the Jin army, and at the same time calculated the best distance for Lu Zhishen's army to kill.

Suddenly, the plantation division found that the general of the Jin army leading two thousand cavalry came obliquely from the front left, blocking the way of his army.

Is that the famous general of the Jin Army Wanyan Loushi?It is said that he has repeatedly defeated the Liao army and the Xixia army, and is the most powerful general under Wanyan Zonghan's command.

That guy is really brave!After one of his cavalry failed to attack the circle with the wheel tactics, he actually came up in rotation himself. Is this going to fight me?

A fighter plane was suddenly discovered in the seed division.

If this battle can kill the main general of the Jin army, Wanyan Loushi, even if most of the army and horses are lost, it will be worth it!

Because the death of Wanyan Loushi will greatly damage the morale of the Jin army.

It is even possible for the Jin army to give up the siege of Taiyuan Mansion, and the real retreat back to Datong Mansion!

"Send a signal for Lu Da and Yang Zhi to attack!"

9 Chapter Twenty

Following an order from the seed division, three horns sounded in the Song Army's formation, and at the same time, a five-color flag was raised next to the flag of the Chinese Army Commander, fluttering in the wind, and it was really eye-catching in the sun.

"Kill these birds and golden dogs!"

Seeing the signal to attack, Lu Zhishen raised his sword and rushed out of the forest like a strong wind.

Because Lu Zhishen rushed too fast, Yang Zhi and the others behind him and the five thousand subordinates hadn't rushed out of the woods yet, resulting in a brief and strange scene on the battlefield, as if Lu Zhishen yelled "Wow!" Thousands of troops.

Moreover, there was only one target of Lu Zhishen's charge, and that was Wanyan Loushi, the commander of the thousand cavalry in front of him.

Seeing this, a Jurchen warrior in Wanyan Loushi's army rode forward to meet Lu Zhishen with his long spear.

As soon as Lu Zhishen dodged, he avoided the impact of the Jurchen warrior's horse's head and the straight thrust of the spear, and then waved his knife, splitting the Jurchen warrior on horseback in two.

After killing the enemy with a single blow, Lu Zhishen didn't stop for half a step, but still rushed towards Wanyanlou's room like a strong wind.

"True tiger general! There were such characters in the Southern Dynasties!"

Wanyan Loushi was riding on the horse, holding his big ax in his hand, and praised sincerely.

"Kill! Kill the golden dog!"

Yang Zhi, Guo Sheng, and Cao Zheng also led troops out of the woods, and rushed towards Wanyan Loushi's army with a murderous look.

Lu Zhishen's army didn't bring horses because they traveled across mountains and mountains, but Guo Sheng was a cavalry general, and his ability on horses was stronger.

Therefore, Guo Sheng snatched an unowned horse, brandished Fang Tian's painted halberd and chased after Lu Zhishen.

This horse was the mount of the Jurchen warrior that Lu Zhishen killed just now, but now it was cheaper than Guo Sheng.

In an instant, on the local battlefield outside the woods, more than 5000 people from the Central Army of the Zhongshi Division and 1000 people from the Lu Zhishen Army formed a pincer attack on more than [-] cavalry from the Yan Loushi Army.

If the Song Army can complete the pincer attack and encirclement, Wanyan Loushi's thousand cavalry will be trapped in the crowd of Song Army infantry, lose their mobility and impact, and become horseback infantry with greatly reduced power.

Even if the Jin army's combat effectiveness is very strong, there is a chance to kill the leader of the Jin army, Wanyan Loushi, among the seed divisions.

Seeing that there were reinforcements to respond, the morale of the soldiers of the Zhongjun Zhongjun who were struggling to support was also greatly boosted.

In order to encircle Wanyan Loushi's army, Zhong Shizhong put all his eggs in one basket and commanded the army to change formations, abandoning the well-defended but slow-moving circular formation, and instead the whole army swarmed up.

However, at the moment when the division changed, Wanyan Loushi seemed to have expected it, and galloped eastward with a thousand cavalry, and rushed out of the encirclement before the Song army encircled them.

An ordinary army would surely fall into chaos when it suddenly encountered such a situation.But Wanyan Loushi had already informed his subordinates that there was an ambush by the Song army in the woods.He personally led the troops here, originally to lure the Song army to launch an attack in advance.

Now that the purpose of luring the enemy has been achieved, Wanyan Loushi's one thousand subordinates have a tacit understanding with him, and they quickly got rid of the Song army attacking from the north and the south without ordering.

Lu Zhishen rushed over like flying, but he only cut down two more cavalry of the Jin army, and he could no longer catch up with Wanyan Loushi's cavalry team.

No, it's a hit!

Seeing Wanyan Loushi's army walking so calmly, the first among the breeders realized that this golden army, including the chief general Wanyan Loushi, was just a cunning bait.

If they hadn't been prepared, when Lu Zhishen led the army to rush out from behind the Jin army, the Jin army should have fallen into chaos and fought on their own.

The fact that the Jin army withdrew from the battlefield in such an orderly manner can only show that Wanyan Loushi and his subordinates deliberately exposed their flaws, led Lu Zhishen to attack, and the introduction division changed formation to launch a charge.

Yelang is still arrogant in the middle division, and has not studied the past achievements of the generals of the Jin Army.

Wanyan Loushi used this tactic of showing weakness to the Khitan army and the Xixia army many times in the war to destroy the Liao Kingdom, attracting the enemy to attack, and then attacking and killing with elite soldiers.
