While Monk Liu shot the first arrow, some people in the nearby Song army formations also shot an arrow symbolizing the arrival of Death. Most of the people who can be entrusted with the responsibility of school shooting on the battlefield were fighting men who had been through battle formations. For example, who had not experienced such scenes again and again, they had already developed a hard-hearted heart.

"hair!"

With the cold military orders without any emotion, dense raindrop-like feathered arrows and crossbows flew out from the array of the Song army, drew a semicircular arc in the air, crossed the apex and slid down, instantly covering the people of Song in front. This scene will appear repeatedly in Chen Dexing's nightmare in the years to come. Within 120 steps, all the people, men, women, and young, were shot and killed without any difference! The lodged corpses were immediately covered with the frontiers of the Song army, and then blood flowed out of the dying body, dyeing large pieces of soil red.

After witnessing the determination of the Song army, the people who had not yet approached the Song army formation suddenly cried out at the top of their lungs and refused to move forward. Some people mustered up all their courage before dying and wanted to fight with the Mongolian soldiers who drove them. But how could these unarmed people fight against beasts wearing heavy armor and holding sharp blades? The center of the battlefield suddenly became a slaughterhouse! The people who were driven by the Mongolians and approaching the Song army formation again were shot down by waves of arrows, and dying shouts!

"We are the people of the Song Dynasty..."

"Save me, I don't want to die!"

"Brother, run, run..."

"Mom, I feel pain..."

"God, let's help!"

Seeing this scene and hearing such a sound, there were countless bloody men in the Song army formation who bit steel teeth and wanted to go up to save people. But at this moment, the loud voice of the commander rang behind the various army formations again.

"The order of the Privy Councilor: All armies remain unmoved, and those who dare to advance without orders will be killed without mercy!"

The battle formation of the Song army is a whole, and it is never used to exert individual courage, but collective strength. Taking a rude attack will destroy the integrity of the battle formation of the Song army, which is something that the Mongols cannot afford!

Chen Dexing had raised his stair bow at this moment, and skillfully set up his bow and aimed at a Mongolian who was wielding a saber to kill the people of the Song Dynasty. Although he had never learned to shoot archery in his previous life, archery had long become an instinct for his body in this life. Chen Dexing, who was born in a general, chose to accompany his knife bow for his whole life as soon as he learned to crawl. Like those men on the grassland, he started riding a horse without learning to walk, and pulled the bow before he could eat with a spoon. Nearly twenty years of hard work and practice have turned him into a killing machine!

"Stretch!" After a light sound, the sharp feather arrow shot away like lightning, and instantly turned into a small black dot. The face of the Outer Mongolian warrior who had nearly 130 steps was inserted into the face of the Outer Mongolian warrior, and he fell down as if he was electrocuted!

Chen Dexing didn't expect that his shooting skills could hit the point where he could hit the shooting range of nearly 200 meters! He was stunned for a moment and suddenly thought: "Was that person dead? I killed someone, I killed someone! But... it's really relieved his hatred!"

Perhaps because he was far away from seeing the bloody scene, or perhaps because this body had regarded killing as an instinct, Chen Dexing did not feel any discomfort at this moment, but instead felt an inexplicable pleasure and excitement. He took out a feather arrow and was about to shoot it out, but was pulled by the monk Liu beside him.

"Erlang, don't worry, the Tartars are still far away, it's not easy to hit, and it's exhausting too much! The Tartars drove the people to scoop the formation just to exhaust our energy!"

‘Too much effort?’ Chen Dexing immediately flashed a common sense on the battlefield in his mind - the strength must be saved, because the formation battle of the Song army is a very labor-intensive tactic. Due to the lack of war horses, it is impossible to form a powerful cavalry regiment to cover the infantry. Once the Song army's infantry formation is set on the battlefield, it is difficult to have the opportunity to rest or rotate. It is often necessary to maintain a combat state under the eye of the opponent's cavalry, stay up from the early morning to dusk, and finally be able to evacuate safely under the cover of the night.

Moreover, archery, especially with a hard bow of eight or nine or even one stone, is definitely a job of strength. Even Chen Dexing, who is six feet long (1.80 meters) and big and round waist, must rest and massage after opening a hard bow twenty times, otherwise it will be at least a muscle strain. In order to shoot these people driven by the Mongols, the crossbowmen of Wu Ruijun had to take at least four or five rounds of volleys...

"Erlang, it seems that the Tartars are going to attack our Wu Rui army fiercely. We should have a hard battle today." Monk Liu looked at the battlefield with a heavy expression.

Chen Dexing raised his head, looked at the vast battlefield in front of him, and looked at the rushing people, and they were indeed rushing towards the military formation where he was and the two nearby military formations.

The military names of these three formations of Song army were all Wu Rui Army, which was recruited by Li Tingzhi, a new army recruited by Jia Sidao after being transferred to Lianghuai. The composition of the Southern Song army was very different from that of the Northern Song Dynasty. After the imperial guards who were relied on as the Great Wall of the Northern Song Dynasty, they fell to the original position of the wing army after crossing the south. At this time, there were only famous officials and no soldiers, and they became the empty title of idle warriors. In the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty, the main force of the army was the semi-warlord-turned-up imperial army. The earliest army was led by Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, Zhang Jun, Wu Lin and other Zhongxing generals. Later, they were controlled by the Southern Song court and were named the Imperial Army (also known as the Imperial Army).

However, these imperial troops had the problem of constant depletion of combat power. Often when they were newly established, they united as one and worked hard to make the troops the strongest combat power. And after a long time, the various disadvantages of the feudal army appeared one by one, and the combat power of the troops naturally plummeted. During the Kaixi Northern Expedition launched by the Prime Minister Han Tuozhou, the imperial troops made all fools.

Therefore, after the failure of Kaixi Northern Expedition, the guards from all over the Southern Song fronts began to recruit new troops to replace the original imperial army. It was a bit like a local army in the late Qing Dynasty to train armed forces. Of course, these newly recruited troops were also the same semi-warlord armed forces, and their combat power continued to decline over time. Therefore, once the front line was in a hurry, the guards recruited new troops for emergency response had become a convention for the Southern Song army. After a period of training, the newly recruited troops were often the main force on the battlefield of the Anti-Mongolia. After all the generals and officers of the newly recruited troops were full and started to become corrupt, the combat effectiveness of the troops began to decline again and became useless. The Wu Rui Army was such an armed force.

The sound of the horn sounded in the distance, tearing the crying and wailing on the battlefield and rushing straight towards the Wu Rui army's army formation. The sound of the horn means that the attack of the Mongolian Han infantry has begun!

Chen Dexing looked forward with his head raised and saw a huge white flag in the center of the Mongolian army formation thousands of steps away. There were nine streamers on it, flying in the north wind. This was a nine-week white flag symbolizing the great military power of the Mongolian Empire. The Mongolians called it "Chagan Sulide". Chen Dexing once saw such a flag when he was traveling to Ordos in later generations. At that time, he heard from the Mongolian tour guide that this flag was only available to the Mongolian Khan.

Could it be that the Mongolian Khan Mengge arrived at the city of Yangzhou?

"This is the banner of that guy Ye Liu Gan!" Monk Liu frowned, "Just opposite us, the Beilu are going to attack us here!"

It turned out that this Nine-Weather White Crown was not only used by the Mongolian Khan. Genghis Khan once awarded this to the Grand Marshal of the Conquering Jin who was in charge of the Central Plains and the Grand Tutor King Mu Huali. When the marshal of the Mongolian capital Yeli was ordered to supervise the army to destroy the Song Dynasty, he also obtained a Nine-Weather White Crown from the Mongke Khan to boost his reputation.
