If you can meet a saint, it would be a great event that will be a great thing like winning the top scholar. The intermediate generals and military officers who were born in scholars and the lower-level officers who were born in war are each filled with passion. Not to mention finding a title for a marquis in one battle, if they are really famous in history, they will be passed down for generations. Such temptation is no less than the most violent aphrodisiac for those with a little ambition.

"The commander is behind you! Those who advance receive glory and rewards, while those who retreat will die!" Wang Deng shouted loudly: "If you want to keep your name forever, follow me!"

Zheng Yunming pulled out the sword from Ren Xiongwei's hand and shouted: "What is our slogan!"

The 12,000 army shouted in unison and shook Yunxiao: "Those who are greedy for life die, and those who are forgetful of death live!"

Zheng Yunming waved the cold blade in his hand and shouted: "Attack!"

Before the two armies officially confronted each other, the battle between the two armies was already in full swing. In the final battle, Zhao Kui made a bold move and dispatched two thousand cavalry to attack the Uygur army first. Naturally, the cavalry quality of the Song army was very poor, and only one tactic was known, which was a swarm of assault, which is what the army often called the wild wave battle. Since the southward transition, with the lack of high-quality riders and good horses, the quality of the cavalry troops has been declining again and again, and even the formations that can be mercyed in the Central Plains could not be organized. The two cavalry units under Zhao Kui were already the elite troops with the highest supplies and salaries in Jinghu, but they would still only win by rushing forward with the number of people. They could hardly imagine the tactics of the Mongols' impermanence of gathering and dispersion. As for the thousand cavalry divided into hundreds of teams and sprinting in turn, there is no need to mention it.

At this time, most of the good horses in the Western Regions were occupied by the Kangli Turks and Mongols. These Uygur infantry only carried ordinary riding horses, but even such a temporary cavalry were not at all inferior when dealing with the impact of the Song army.

But while the cavalry and the opponent were fighting, the guerrillas led by Ge Huai rushed from the flank into the tight array.

Although Yanshi's troops are known as all the horses, they are actually not all the cavalry. Half of them are infantry riding horses, distributed in three fences used to siege the Song army. The three fences established by the Mongolian army not only blocked the Song army's road out of the city, but also blocked the cavalry of the army. Yanshi's cavalry could only advance and retreat through specially opened roads. However, the Song army did not lack the tools and experience to break the barriers. They quickly broke the axes and saws.

The Mongolian army's fence was then divided into teams that cooperated with each other and fought with Yan Shi's infantry at close range. On this special battlefield, the fence sometimes even became the help of the Song army. The one hundred musketeers in Ge Huai's army put the muskets behind the fence and easily shot at Yan Shi's cavalry. The sinister cavalry was blocked by their infantry and fences, and they could not organize an effective counterattack for the time being, so they had to retreat temporarily.

After the cavalry retreated, the infantry arrays scattered between the fences were immediately exposed to the fierce attack of the Jingchu army. In order to cooperate with the attack of the brigade of infantry, the Jingchu army concentrated almost all the firearms that could be moved and took off all the firearms on the side vans. The muskets were carried by the infantry, and the general's artillery was carried by the two-wheeled chariots, and they advanced forward with the infantry. When the Jingchu army pressed forward, the cavalry leading the battle retreated from both wings, leaving the Uygur army completely to the most elite troops in Xiangyang whose morale had risen to the extreme.

Wu Qian stood on the watchtower in front of the Xicheng Gate Tower, hiding in the tower and looking at it with a mirror. The cannons in front were rolling like thunder and gunshots were densely woven. The Uygur soldiers were either gunfire or arrows, and they all collapsed one after another. Although the strong infantry formed a formation to fight, they were defeated after a brief confrontation of hand and blades. Zheng Yunming's army quickly broke through the trenches and wooden fences set up by the Mongolian army to siege Xiangyang and destroyed all the three wooden fences. The Song army, which came out of the south gate and the north gate, also defeated the few enemy troops in front of him, turned to the west and protected Zheng Yunming's side. The front more than ten miles ahead were full of Song's flags and figures, while the Mongolian army retreated in a hurry, as if they could not hold on.

When he excitedly put down the glass and turned to look at the commander, Zhao Kui ordered with a serious expression: "Immediately send an escort Yu Hou to supervise the battle behind the formation. Anyone who dares to withdraw the team and return will be killed no matter the level of the class!"

He shouted calmly: "The most dangerous time has come!"

The rapid offensive of the Song army was blocked by three fences and slowed down, but most of the troops had not yet had time to form a square formation. They neither captured the main force of the Mongolian army to strangle, nor did they organize temporary defense against the cavalry in time. This was the most critical moment for the Song army.

Zheng Yunming is no longer a young man who has no experience in military affairs. Of course, he is the most aware of the danger at this time. However, he sent personal soldiers to send messages in his team one after another, regardless of whether it was his own troops or not, all of them asked the troops to form a formation to guard against the attacks of the Mongolian cavalry. He understood that this opportunity was what the Mongolian cavalry who had been huddled behind had been waiting for for a long time at the beginning.

Sure enough, shortly after he sent the messenger, a loud trumpet sounded on the opposite side. The Mongolian cavalry divided the two wings, and the cavalry team rushed out of the formation and surrounded the two wings of the Song army. This is a common tactic of nomadic cavalry, and even the Central Plains cavalry often used. The middle road is restrained and the two wings attacked sideways. The army was nicknamed the cavalry horse, which is a metaphor for the cavalry team attacking from the side like the two trumpets of a man, fierce and powerful, and the other party is inconvenient to prepare for defense.

Even though the distance was so far, Zheng Yunming could still see the enemy's flag without a mirror. It was indeed Zhang Rou's flag. He shouted loudly: "Call the front arms to fire the volley, don't let Zhang Rou get close!"

But everything was too late. Zhang Rou's movements were far from comparable to those of the stern and loose soldiers. Especially the Song soldiers on both wings were not under Zheng Yunming's subordinates, and their reactions were not so fast, just like a sharp iron knife cutting into the tofu. The Zhongshun army of Meng Jing, who had not had time to form a formation in the north wing, was penetrated by Zhang Rou's cavalry.

Zhang Rou, who was like a god of killing, was wearing a black iron Kai, and was dancing with an iron cone gun in his hand. His unstoppable appearance made people secretly shocked. Meng Jing's troops were originally not weak, but if they formed a square formation, their combat power would not be inferior to Zheng Yunming's headquarters. However, in order to ensure the safety of Zheng Yunming's flanks, he was forced to use a brave offensive to suppress the Mongolian infantry retreating, and instead let his soldiers face the attack of the Mongolian cavalry with an evacuated team. At this time, he had lost the best opportunity to organize the formation. Zhang Rou led five hundred elite troops to confront the Song army and broke through the army formation of Meng Jing's troops in a very short time.

Of course, this is not the end of the battle. If the infantry is weak in fighting spirit, it is common for them to turn around and flee under the brave attack of the cavalry. However, the Zhongshun Army was the dead soldiers recruited by Meng Gong from Dengzhou and Tangzhou, which is the remnants of the last main force of the Jin Dynasty. They are all veterans who have experienced many battles, and fighting alone is not a problem for them on weekdays. When Zhang Rou broke through the formation, they were still fighting with the cavalry behind them while trying to form a formation with great difficulties.

Zhang Rou also knew that it was very difficult to disperse Meng Gong's subordinates with one blow. Even if he had the advantage of the night attack team that ambushed Meng Gong before, he had a lot of trouble to defeat them. However, the cavalry had absolute initiative in the face of infantry. If he failed to fight, he would only rush twice, three times, or even ten or hundreds of times. As long as he could rotate troops in time, the infantry would not last long under the repeated conflicts of the cavalry. For these Northland cavalry who had been through battle for a long time, it would be as common as eating and drinking water.

Zhang Rou whistled, and the cavalry turned around and gathered together under the military flag behind Zhang Rou. However, when they were about to turn over and fight back to Meng Jing's army, they found that there were two rows of elite soldiers in front of him, holding spears and panting in a formation.

Zhang Rou was also surprised that the reinforcements sent by Zheng Yunming came so quickly.

This is not unexpected when people who know Zheng Yunming. During the pre-war planning, Zheng Yunming and his generals and staff always designed various actions that the other party might take, and then listed proper response measures one by one. The cavalry flanking raids were originally one of the common tactics used by the Mongolian army and the usual tactics of Han cavalry in the Mongolian army. Zheng Yunming could not have been prepared.

The best tactic to deal with the storm of the storm is to deploy storm teams with equal combat power on both wings to intercept them. They either hit the head or intercept their tails, so that they cannot show off their power. However, the battlefield in the western suburbs of Xiangyang is in a cramped state, and the combat power of the cavalry in Jinghu is very different from that of the Mongolian army. Once a cavalry melee breaks out, they are unlikely to intercept the Mongolian cavalry like the Yue family army. Zheng Yunming can only retreat and find the second best. What he used to counter the Mongolian cavalry assault is the so-called reserve strategy. It is called the reserve army, but in fact it is only Zheng Yunming likes to play the new one.

It's just a noun. In the army, this is called a new force or a new force, but the new force is usually the general and the generals and generals will leave a part of the army as a new force. That's because in the battle between cold weapons, one side will often collapse and lose in one way, and there are very few battles that really rely on the new force to decide the victory or defeat. On the other hand, the chief general's personal guards are the default new force in the army. Once the battle situation is unfavorable to him, the head coach will take the sword and go on the battle himself, and the personal force he leads is the best new force.
