Luo Luo's second update was presented, and he rolled all over the ground to ask for collection and recommendation.

......

The sound of the golden drum shook the sky and the earth, as if the entire ground would collapse in the next moment. Everything around the battlefield was shrouded in this earth-shaking shouts and killing sound.

When the Shi family's fierce soldiers advanced less than thirty steps in front of the Song army, the three rows of soldiers who were originally kneeling and squatting on the ground stood up amid the sound of military orders.

"My boys! Form a formation forward!" A Song army general shouted loudly, waved the sword in his hand, driving the horizontal formation composed of shield soldiers and spearmen forward. If he stood at a high place, he would find that on the battlefield, two moving city walls composed of armored warriors collided quickly! The Song army's spear pierced into the chest of the soldiers of the Shi family, and the sword of the Shi family slashed at the head of the Song army...

Chen Dexing once again pulled the arch bow. Although he was an officer, he did not have the soldiers under his command. He was just a special warrior in this battle formation - a bit similar to a sniper in later generations, with considerable freedom - this time, he aimed the arrow cluster at a giant man holding a shield in one hand and a martial sword in the other. This man was 1.9 meters tall, and screamed and crashed into the horizontal formation of the Song army soldiers, causing a lot of chaos.

With a light "strength" sound, the feathered arrows rushed away like meteors, flying away, drilling into the giant man's cheeks, sharp arrows shot through the skull, drilling out from the back of his head, and bringing out some pink brains. The giant man even had time to scream, so he fell to the ground.

'He is already the fourth person...' Chen Dexing thought to himself that this is the fourth person he has killed since his rebirth. One of them is an unarmed old and weak! Killing four people in a row is already the standard of a murderer in later generations, but Chen Dexing's nerves are so thick that there is no adverse reaction! I don't know if he had the potential to be a perverted murderer in his previous life, or if he inherited a hard heart after his soul was possessed!

"Strength!" Another feather arrow shot out. This time the target was a young Shi family general who was clamoring for a fierce battle, and the arrow was also dead!

‘The fifth person…’ Chen Dexing narrowed his eyes and glanced at the battlefield, trying to find new prey, but heard the sound of metal knocking "ding ding dong dong" coming.

Is this the sound of gold? He advances when he hears the drum, and retreats when he sounds, and then uses horns, commands, flags and lights to dispatch an army in an orderly manner. In Chen Dexing's mind, there is a lot of knowledge about the dispatch of battle formations. It is taught by his cheap father who is determined to take the imperial examination and honor his ancestors...

The soldiers who retreated from the Shi family were about 1.5% less than when they came in a fierce battle. If they did not retreat, they would collapse. The casualty rate of most troops in this era could bear about 20% in a battle, and only the troops who were put to death could bear more than 30% or more of the casualty. Therefore, when commanding the war, the generals must never consume their troops to death, otherwise they would collapse on the battlefield, but they would be defeated like a mountain. Therefore, on the battlefield, the generals must master the rhythm of advance and retreat, and promptly withdraw the troops with heavy losses. It is also the work of cavalry to protect the infantry retreat or to cover the defeated soldiers who killed the opponent. The Song army has irreparable shortcomings in this regard!

Because the Song army had no available cavalry, the retreat of the Shijiarui soldiers was quite easy. The soldiers of the Song army only chased for more than a dozen steps, and sent people to chop the head of Shijiaguo who were lying on the battlefield and retreated in the cheers. It was not that they did not want to chase, but that the heavy cavalry deployed by the Mongolians on both wings were already ready to move! If the Song army could not restore the state of fighting in time, they could break the Song army formation without the protection of the long spear and shield with only one charge! As for the Song army soldiers who were scattered on the battlefield to chase the enemy, they could not resist the rush of the Mongolian cavalry.

"Oh, if there were five hundred elite cavalry, the soldiers of the Shi family would collapse!" Liu Monk shot out seven feather arrows just now, and was shaking his head and sighing with his swollen arms.

'If the war continues like this, the Southern Song Dynasty will not be able to withstand it!' Chen Dexing shook his head slightly, his thick eyebrows were already twisted.

His historical knowledge and combat formations in his mind told him that the Song army seemed to have won the victory just now, but in fact, the Mongolians dominate! The Song army lined up to defend and had the advantage of bows and crossbows. It was normal to repel the attack of the sharp soldiers of the Shijia family. This was not victory, but just the beginning of the battle... Just like the positional war in the later era, the attacking side rarely broke through the opponent's defense once attacked. It often had to fight repeatedly many times, slowly exhaust the power of the defensive side to occupy the position.

For the Song army, which has no cavalry available, it is impossible to take advantage of the situation to cover up the killing and expand the results after repelling the opponent. Once defeated by the opponent, it will be trampled on by the Mongolian Iron Cavalry! What’s worse is that under the eyes of thousands of Mongolian Iron Cavalry, it is even difficult for Jia Sidao and Li Tingzhi to dispatch troops on all sides of the front line, because as long as there is a little chaos in the army during the mobilization process, it may be impacted by the Mongolian cavalry and cause collapse!

On the contrary, it would be fine for the infantry of the Mongolian side to lie down and sleep on the battlefield! Because the Song army could not send infantry to attack them.

At this time, the trumpet sounds of the Mongols used to mobilize the army again! Three other infantry phalanxes emerged from the Mongolian army formation! The target was still the Wurui Army where Chen Dexing was. This time the Mongolian Han army was driven, with leather helmets and armor, holding swords and shields. Under the guidance of the "Zhang" flag on three sides, the Mongolian people who were responsible for archery also retreated and replaced them with another two thousand Mongolian cavalry. The Mongolian cavalry was not only good at riding horses, but also good at archery. Everyone was equipped with stair bows and horse bows. The former was used for dismounting horses, while the latter was used when riding horses and shooting. Of course, the Mongolian arms were also made of flesh and blood, and they were also sore and painful, so they adopted the tactic of taking turns to shoot archery.

This is to use wheel battles to exhaust the Song army's physical strength!

Chen Dexing took a deep breath and knew what the Mongols could do? He was not Jia Sidao, the Privy Councilor who commanded the entire army, but just a warrior with the title of ninth rank! Moreover, even if he was Jia Sidao, could he come up with a brilliant plan to restrain the Mongolian cavalry and save the Song Dynasty? Even if there was such a method, it would not be possible to achieve results overnight.

Let’s think of a way to get through today’s level first.

Thinking of this, he began to concentrate on looking at the Mongolian Han infantry who was approaching step by step. He was a senior seaman in his previous life and was not unfamiliar with distance measurement. Moreover, he also learned through the Internet that the Song Dynasty's step was equivalent to about 1.5 meters in later life, and 120 steps was 180 meters. With such a distance, he could even measure it with his eyes alone.

"Stretch!" After a slight bowstring sound, Chen Dexing shot out another feather arrow, drawing a semicircular parabola in the air, and inserted it into the face of a burly infantryman as if he had eyes. The man screamed and fell to the ground!

"Okay! Good arrow technique!"

At this moment, behind the Song army formation, on a high platform built with wood on the banks of the river (Yangzhou moat, the later Slender West Lake), a middle-aged man wearing a purple public uniform and a long winged official hat gently clapped his hands. A pair of narrow eyes flashed, revealing a calm expression and a vigorous desire. Around him, there were several civil and military officials who were either armored or green robed crowns, and several civil and military scholars who were not wearing official uniforms frowned and looked at the battlefield.

"Xiangfu, that hero is a general of the Wu Rui army, right? Do you have an official position?"

A civilian official wearing a green robe and a bit rough and generous looked stepped forward and bowed and said, "My husband, the man's name is Chen Dexing, who is the trust of Meng Bu, and is currently in the position of training."

"I already have an official position..." The middle-aged man, known as the Shu Prime Minister, was Jia Sidao, the supreme commander of the 40,000 Song troops on the battlefield at this time. He showed a hint of regret and nodded slightly.

The person called "Xiangfu" by Jia Sidao was Li Tingzhi, the actual commander of the Wu Rui Army. Li Tingzhi was originally from Meng Gong's disciple, and Meng Gong was his master. Therefore, after Meng Gong's death, he mourned for three years. In this era, the relationship between the master and the person he recommended was similar to that of the master. Even if Li Tingzhi later became a civil servant in high school, he was still a disciple of Meng Gong, a martial artist.
Chapter completed!
