Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

Chapter 398 The Battle of Earth River 2

"Oh, he's here?" Wanyan Zongwang frowned slightly.

In ancient times, there was no family planning, and rich and noble families had many children unless they were physically ill.

Liu Yu has more than a dozen sons, some of them are quite talented, and they all follow Liu Yu's side. Like this Liu Lin, he has never seen him before. I thought I would meet Liu Lin after arriving in Yucheng, but I didn't expect him to come by himself.

"He also has a heart! Let's go and have a look!" Wanyan Zongwang said.

The 100,000 Jurchen army headed towards the other side of the river one after another, and more than 60,000 people have already crossed the Tuhe River.

At this time, an army of more than 10,000 people came from the east.

This army is dressed as a puppet army, most of them are infantry, and some of them are cavalry.

Their team is unusually scattered, everywhere.

Soon, they rushed to the Jurchen army. They all had wine, meat and rice in their hands. At this moment, they gave the wine, meat and rice to these "Jurchen masters" one after another.

The Jurchen army has already received news that Liu Lin's puppet army is coming! However, seeing an army of more than 10,000 people appearing, the Jurchens still had some vigilance in their hearts. It's just that after seeing their team so scattered, their vigilance has disappeared. At this moment, the puppet army brought over the food and drink, and the Jurchen soldiers were all overjoyed, and they got off their horses one by one, and began to eat and drink.

At this moment, Liu Lin came towards Wanyan Zong with more than a hundred cavalrymen.

When he came to Wanyan Zongwang, Liu Lin got off his horse in a hurry and knelt down on the ground. The cavalry behind him also got off their horses and knelt down.

"You are Liu Yu's son Liu Lin?" Wanyan Zongwang asked them to get up.

"It's the villain." There was a smile on Liu Lin's face, but there was an indescribable reluctance in his smile, and his body trembled, as if he was very afraid.

A big man behind him couldn't help frowning! This big man was the general of the Song army who led his troops to attack Yucheng last night.

"Seeing me, you seem very scared?" Wanyan Zongwang asked.

"Don't dare! Don't dare!" Liu Lin said, sweating profusely.

"Hmph! I'm here to save your father and son, why are you afraid?" Wanyan Zongwang said coldly.

"No...no...I'm not afraid. Second Prince, we have prepared some food and wine for you. Would you like to eat it now?" Liu Lin stammered.

"Oh, you guys are filial! Forget it, send it up." Wanyan Zongwang said.

Liu Lin seemed to be pardoned, he hurriedly waved his hand, and hundreds of soldiers behind brought over all the food and wine.

"There are tens of thousands of troops behind us, and this little food and drink is not enough for us!" Wanyan Zongwang frowned and said.

"Your Highness, this is just an appetizer. We have prepared countless meals and beauties for the army of the Shang Kingdom in Yucheng." The general of the Song Army came up from behind and laughed.

"Who are you?" Wanyan Zongwang had seen this big man with a burly figure and bright eyes before, and had noticed him a long time ago, so he asked at this moment.

"The villain's surname is Li, but he is a partial general of Yucheng." The general of the Song army said.

"Looking at your appearance, it seems that you have some skills." Wanyan Zongwang said.

He was about to ask a few questions carefully! He knew that the Han people had a large population, and there were naturally many heroes born among them! In the past two years, Jurchen's strength has declined, and they just need to add Han Yingjie to their team! Of course, the Han Yingjie must be willing to be the lackey of the Jurchens, otherwise it doesn't matter.

It's just that he just said the words, and suddenly looked around vigilantly.

"Second Prince? What's wrong?" Liu Lin said.

"Don't talk, something is wrong around here!" Wanyan Zongwang said.

As soon as Wanyan Zong said the words, several Jurchen commanders and commanders around him also looked around, with puzzled expressions in their eyes.

Weeds were everywhere around, and there was nothing but their Jurchen army. They didn't know what Wanyan Zongwang was looking at.

"Murderous!" Wanyan Zongwang said sharply.

"Murderous?" Several Jurchen commanders and commanders were taken aback for a moment.

Wanyan Zongwang looked around vigilantly, he felt more and more strange the surrounding environment! In fact, the murderous aura he mentioned was some kind of strange change in the surrounding environment!

During the battle of the army, if there are enemy troops ambushing around, although everything looks normal on the surface, many subtle places will change! For example, the chirping of insects and birds will disappear, and the surroundings will be as dead silent! The breaths of countless people are connected together, it is difficult for ordinary people to feel it, but the brilliant generals and martial arts masters can feel the difference. There are other changes that are beyond the senses of ordinary people, but brilliant generals can feel them with intuition and experience.

At this moment Wanyan Zongwang felt the strange atmosphere around him, which he called murderous aura.

"Send the order, gather the army, and move forward immediately! Let the army behind us cross the river immediately! There is danger here, let's leave first!" Wanyan Zongwang said.

Before the ten thousand commanders and thousand commanders below had time to nod their heads, at this moment, shouts of killing came from all directions.

*** ***

The surrounding grass was originally silent, and there didn't seem to be any people inside, but now there are countless human heads popping out of it!

They rushed forward with their weapons in hand!

The sound of countless bows and arrows sounded, and the arrows flew across.

After a while, the Jurchen army was in chaos!

I don't know how many Song troops are ambushing here in all directions! They have been waiting here for a long time! They lurked in the grass, motionless, as if they were dead. Countless insects and mosquitoes bit their bodies, but they also resisted moving. Such an ambush in the grass for several hours, except for the Song Army in Guanshan, no other army of this era could do it.

Among these Song soldiers, there is a team of more than a thousand people dressed in different clothes. They are all dressed up in Jianghu. At this moment, they also hold swords in their hands and charge forward.

The one who rushed to the front was Liu Ze, the leader of the Hebei Rebel Army.

Liu Ze was holding two knives, and a Jurchen in front of him rushed forward and was chopped off by him.

He laughed loudly, another Jurchen rushed over, and the brothers next to him chopped down the Jurchen.

"We will definitely win this battle!" Liu Ze laughed.

"God help us! We have been lurking here for more than half a day, and we didn't see the Jurchens coming until it was dark! We were going to attack halfway, but who would have thought that Liu Lin from Yucheng would come to deliver wine and food? The team is chaotic! Let's charge, and it's impossible for them to fight back." A quack character next to him laughed.

"That's right! This Liu Lin traitor has helped us a lot!" Liu Ze laughed.

"Boss, we are much worse than the Song soldiers next to us." Another character from the rivers and lakes said.

Liu Ze looked around and saw that the Song army had formed a square formation, and all the square formations cooperated with each other to form a huge encirclement circle! The spears in the hands of the soldiers of the Song Army stabbed forward together. Even if the Jurchen cavalry charged together, they were not opponents! Every spear formation is like the Great Wall of Steel, and the Jurchens can only pass through the gaps, and as the phalanx continues to move forward, the gaps are getting smaller and smaller!

There are countless phalanxes on the front, left, and right of the Jurchen army, and Tuhe is behind.

Although there is a pontoon bridge, it is impossible for the 60,000 troops to pass through the pontoon bridge in a short period of time.

Moreover, the 40,000 Jurchen and puppet troops in the back wanted to come over from the pontoon bridge. The pontoon bridge was crowded with people. I am afraid that the entire pontoon bridge would be crushed and collapsed in a short time.

"General Zhao Zhe is really good at using soldiers like a god, and he actually ambushed here! It seems that this battle has nothing to do with us." After a while, Liu Ze said in surprise.

The surrounding Song Army phalanx continued to move forward, and the thousand Jianghu figures led by Liu Ze couldn't get in at all. If they rushed forward, they might disrupt the Song Army's formation. The Song army has unique means of battlefield communication and cooperation with each other. Even if a certain phalanx is completely wiped out, the people around it will quickly fill it up. In a phalanx, no matter how many casualties there are, the rest of the people will unite again immediately.

This method of using troops can unite the strength of the entire army of 100,000 people.

At the beginning, Zhao Chen and the generals of the imperial army compiled the infantry drill code, and then the infantry drill code was passed on to all armies! The generals of each army have improved the infantry drills to make them more suitable for combat in the era of cold weapons! Whether it is Yue Fei, Qu Duan, or Li Xianzhong, Liu Qi, Zhao Zhe, Zhang Xian and others are rare famous generals in ancient China! In this era, these famous generals are all gathered by Zhao Chen's side. With Zhao Chen's foresight and insight, coupled with the wisdom and experience of these famous generals, the methods of training and using troops created by them are close to the peak of the cold weapon era! Even Genghis Khan, his genius-like tactics and tactics have been integrated into the training and use of troops of the Song army.

Even if Zhao Zhe's 100,000 Jingyuan army confronted 60,000 Jurchen cavalry head-on, they might not be defeated even without any tricks.
