The 47th chapter of the past is here today (3)

After shooting the first arrow, the Dahongshan crossbowmen did not stay on the spot as usual. They underwent new training and adopted a completely different battle mode than when they were in the folk. They handed the crossbow in their hands sideways to their companions behind them, and at the same time took the spare crossbow that had been put on the string from their companions, picked up the string again, and quickly shot out the second wave of crossbow arrows.

When the crossbowmen fired the arrows, the archers behind had already rushed to the first line along the gap in the formation. After the crossbowmen finished their second volley, they immediately pulled the bows and arrows in their hands to make two volleys towards the cavalry that were approaching quickly. Archery was originally the main body of the shooting army. Under the influence of Lai Ruyue, Zheng Yunming unconsciously asked his subordinates to put the shooting speed first. If the range of bows and arrows played a major role in previous battles, when fighting against the Mongolian legion, which was all cavalry, the shooting speed became the most important thing in archery.

After firing two arrows at an extremely fast speed, the archers also retreated with the crossbowmen. The musketeers had been waiting for a long time behind them, preparing to give the final blow to the Hu cavalry who was about to hit the front.

Accompanied by a powerful fire order, the musketeers of the Song army put the musketeers on the quarantine. The white smoke and firelight immediately wrapped the figures of the horse and the firearms. The lead bullets that broke through the air immediately knocked the Mongolian cavalry and the horses to the ground.

The firelight, smoke and the sound of muskets also made the Naiman cavalry who were facing firearms for the first time frightened and restless. However, after the lessons learned last year, the Mongolians had already gained preliminary experience with the firearms of the Song army. They used cloth to cover the eyes of the mounts of the armored cavalry, and then deafened their ears. They relied on the clever control of the riders to command the war horses under their bodies to move. This was not an insurmountable difficulty for the Mongols who grew up immediately. In addition, supervision of people is much more difficult than handling horses. They were ruling out three strict orders in front of the army. Anyone who wavered and retreated in front of the enemy's firearms, or did not obey the command of the generals in the headquarters will be immediately punished as slaves, or served in the suicide army, and their wives and children will be punished as slaves to their companions, and their property will be divided by their companions.

Under such strict military law supervision, the Naiman cavalry trembled against the rushing horses and continued to charge towards the Song people's positions with all their might.

The musketeers hurriedly put away the muskets and turned around and ran backward. They wanted to do their best to run to their own safety barrier before the enemy hit the horse-retouching. They were two rows of spearmen in tight formations. The first row squatted and the second row stood. The squatted spearmen poked the spears to the ground and kicked them with their feet. The spear tip pointed diagonally forward. The soldiers standing in the second row held their guns in a drip style, flattened the spears, and the tip of the spears slightly lowered. The two rows of spears formed a formidable wall of guns. The tip of the iron spears emitted a cold light under the sun. They just waited motionlessly for the torrent of cavalry that was thundering and thundering towards the head.

But the Naiman cavalry did not engage in a tragic battle with the Song army's spear wall as expected. The 47th chapter of the past tenure is now in the forty-seventh chapter (3)

They even strangled the reins before they rode over the horse, and then quickly retreated toward their wings.

A warm cheer came from the top of the city, and everyone was excited that the Mongols voluntarily gave up the attack. Wu Qian smiled while wiping the sweat on his forehead: "It seems that the Mongols are not fools, and they dare not hit them in front of the spear."

He turned his head and looked at Zheng Yunming, Yang Xuan and Lu Xunzhi, but he could not see any joy. Even Zhao Kui didn't smile, but just looked under the city with his whole body pouring over.

Wang Deng shouted loudly: "The Archer Team is coming forward again! The enemy's second impact is coming!" At the far end of his sight, the second team of cavalry had begun to start and began to attack at a pace that was almost the same as the first team.

Zheng Yunming said to Wu Qian: "When the Hu people want to ascend our army's formation, they often use this tactic. The first army pretends to attack. Seeing that our army does not move, one team will pass by the formation, the second team will continue to attack, and when our army does not move, the third team will continue to attack. This is a method of exhausting the enemy, but this move is useless to Wang Jingsong's subordinates."

As Zheng Yunming expected, in front of the Zhenwu Army's large formation standing like a mountain, the second team rushed forward with arrows and lead bullets until they resisted the horse. Seeing the Song army's formation, which showed no sign of distraction, stopped the momentum of the attack and retreated to both sides.

In the third and fourth waves, the Naiman cavalry tirelessly repeated the futile impact, each time they came to an abrupt end before resisting the horse, and then they swept across the formation and retreated to the two wings.

Wu Qian smiled and said, "How can the struggles back and forth besides consuming a lot of energy to shake our army's formation at all? Wouldn't it be foolish for the enemy to do this?"

Zheng Yunming sighed: "They are watching our army's formation, and not just watching it simply, but watching while using cavalry teams to mobilize our army's deployment, and then selecting the most favorable attack opportunity."

"Look, is Wang Jingsong's formation a little dispersed now?"

Wu Qian carefully poked his head out of the stool, and even from his eyes as an outsider, he could see that Wang Deng's formation had slightly loosened.

For Wang Deng, this loosening in formation is not due to lack of strict military discipline or improper command, but is more like an active seeking change under the mobilization of the enemy.

Because many of the Zhi Naiman cavalry that had passed by the two wings did not withdraw back to their original formation, but regrouped on the two wings and fronts of the Song army. At this moment, the Song army faced not only a frontal threat, but had to be prepared in three aspects.

The formations of the two wings of Zhenwu Army were forced to rearrange them as the enemy cavalry formed a formation on both wings. The two neat flanking phalanxes would turn against the enemy on one side, and some central archery squads also reinforced them, thus scattering in the two wings and the central array.

Frequent mobilization of troops will surely lead to the 47th chapter of the past tenure.

The chaos in the formation was something that Han Yue and Wu Jie could not avoid. At this time, it was the fighter opportunity that the Mongols were looking for.

"They are going to move real!" Zheng Yunming shouted to Wu Qian: "This is the real first round!"

Before he finished speaking, the Naiman cavalry all over the Zhenwu Army suddenly shouted in unison with a creepy cry. The sound was like the roar of a group of wolves at midnight. In the long roar, it made people feel murderous intent. It seemed that the wolves would move in a big way at the next moment, tearing the ignorant prey into pieces.

But this time, they were not facing prey waiting to die. Wang Deng shouted loudly: "The Tartars are going to fight to the death this time! Prepare the left wing! Prepare the right wing! Prepare the central formation!"

The whistling of the Naiman cavalry suddenly stopped, and the cavalry brigades on three sides began to attack the Song army's formation. This time it was different from the attack on the front alone. The sound of horse hooves sounded from three sides doubled the fear. Even the veterans who had been through battle formations in Zhenwu Army could not help but open their eyes widened and their breathing became heavy.

This will be a blow that determines success or failure. The cavalry rushed from three sides at full speed at arrows and charged forward, and never stopped before the horse. Instead, they gently knocked their horse's belly, and the horse rose into the air, jumped over the horse's horse, and crashed hard towards the wall made of the Song army's spear.

Zheng Yunming knew that if the Song army's spear array had not been loose in the formation while repeatedly adjusting, the Mongolian general on the opposite side would not have been able to issue a general attack order no matter what. But even if the Song army's formation was slightly loophole, it would have to have great courage to hit the dense spear tips.

The rumors that the Mongols were not good at striking the frontal formation were self-defeating at this moment.

However, the heavy casualties caused by hitting the spear array head-on can also be imagined. In addition to successfully breaking the Song army's spear array in the loose place, in front of most spear arrays, the Naiman cavalry ended up being pierced by spears. The war horses flipped in front of the dense spear array and smashed the body into the Song army's formation.

Blood, screams, heavy corpses and the impact of war horses enveloped the spear array. Even after a year of cruel training, when they really collided with the enemy's cavalry head-on, many places in the spear array were still destroyed by the sudden thrust of the cavalry.

Ge Huai shouted: "Stay on the front line! The gunmen in the back team came forward!"

The spearmen and halberd soldiers in the back row rushed forward and stabbed hard at the Mongolian cavalry that had lost their impact. Once these cavalrymen who were blocked by the spearmen in the front team lost their speed and impact, they would be even weaker in front of the spear sprint than the most inferior infantry in front of the spear sprint.

Two rapid sounds of barbarians sounded from afar. The Naiman cavalry, who were blocked by the Song army's spear formation, turned their heads and retreated quickly, as if they had received a general amnesty.

Zhenwu Army finally passed the test of the first round of war. Although this price came and the forty-seventh time, the powerful army was now in the past (3)

It was not easy. Some of the spearmen who stood on the outermost side of the Song army as shield walls were pierced by iron guns on the spot, some of the heads were directly smashed by iron bones, and those who were crushed to death by enemy cavalry and horses. The screams and moans came one after another, and the blood-covered survivors dragged their wounded comrades back with difficulty.

Wang Deng waved his hand expressionlessly: "The front row spearmen retreated and repaired, and the third and fourth row spearmen stepped forward!"
