863. cavalry charge(1/2)

It's close.

It's close.

Accompanied by this noisy dust, the cavalry of the Yuan army became closer to the Tiansu Army's formation.

Finally, he stopped at a place about 200 meters away from the Tiansu Army.

This is a very particular distance.

In the fight in the wild, the farthest weapon in the army does not come from the crossbow chariot. The effective range of the crossbow chariot is only two to three hundred meters.

The generals of the Yuan army were afraid that Mo was also inertial. Little did they know that the Song army had already abandoned the crossbow chariots and other cold weapons.

After all, although the crossbow cart has a long range, it is too bulky and not suitable for flexibly combat. In comparison, grenade cans are undoubtedly hundreds of times stronger than crossbow carts.

More and more Yuan soldiers appeared on the official road.

They were pursuing the city, so they naturally would not carry heavy cold weapons such as crossbows.

Looking at the bunkers that were raised with stones in front of the Tiansu Army, the Yuan general at the front looked a little ugly.

Although the bunkers piled up in a hurry in the Song army did not look very solid, they would more or less affect the charge of the iron cavalry under his command.

And their Yuan army's killer weapon was the charge of the Iron Cavalry.

In the face of the Song army, only in this way can one win. If it is a firearm, it is completely a search for abuse.

The war horse was restlessly digging its front hooves.

The two armies fought against each other.

A few minutes later, He Chenghua suddenly shouted loudly to the front of the Yuan army: "Hey, if you don't attack, I will leave."

A loud laughter sounded from the Tiansu Army.

The face of the Yuan army was even more ugly.

Of course he wanted to attack, but whenever he thought of Song Jun's firearms, he was worried that he would not be able to chew this hard bone.

Now is no longer the era when their Yuan army cavalry is invincible.

At this moment, the Yuan general named Du Lei even regretted that he just led the 30,000 soldiers to pursue him. However, they hurried into the city, but they could not mobilize more people.

Until now, many soldiers were still required to escort food, grass, weapons, etc., and they had never been stationed in Songxi County.

After looking at each other with the two captains beside him, Du Lei said, "Two, should we attack or not?"

Although he was the temporary chief general, the two 10,000-strong commanders next to him were not inferior to him. At this moment, Du Lei was also thinking of sharing the pressure.

As long as you ask about the meaning of these two commanders, even if they are not good at fighting with the Song army, he will not only need to bear the responsibility.

And these two tyrants were not inaccurate. They had a strange color in their eyes and instantly understood what Du Lei meant.

If you fight this battle well, it means military merit. If you don’t fight well, it means a crime.

But there was still a captain with silver armor in his arms and said, "Our army has already pursued here. If we go back here, we will be punished by the commander."

This is nothing. More than 30,000 of them came out to pursue the Song army and tens of thousands. If they retreated like this, they would be ridiculed by the whole world.

The other ten thousand men said, "It's better for us to test it for now."

Du Lei, who was big and thick, nodded slightly.

He did not plan to let the two ten thousand men take over this temptation, and directly ordered: "The cavalry in the army is ready to charge!"

The proportion of cavalry in the Yuan army is well deserved to be the highest in the army in this era, and half of the army are cavalry. Even if Zhao Dongting devoted all his country's efforts, he could only make the cavalry in the imperial guards and the garrison military regions reach this ratio. Raising cavalry is more resource-intensive than raising infantry. Of course, for the Song Dynasty, what is even more difficult to get is war horses.

About five thousand cavalry in Dulei army slowly advanced forward for more than ten meters.

Banners fluttered in the army. There were many generals wearing armor.

"Um?"

He Chenghua was slightly surprised when he watched the Yuan army as he was just a few thousand iron cavalry approaching him.

He naturally realized that the Yuan army did not intend to launch a general attack directly.

He immediately ordered: "Order the thunderbolt and the grenade battalion, no order shall be ordered and no action shall be taken."

The consignees on the side didn't care about so many, they just ran down to pass the order.

Next to He Chenghua, there was a general wearing ink armor and looking quite scholarly, saying, "Old He, are you planning to show your enemy to be weak first?"

Judging from his tone, he obviously has a good relationship with He Chenghua.

This man is Du Yuhou in the Tiansu Army, named Zhou Zhangqiang, and was originally a think tank-level figure in the She people's rebel army.

Since the restructuring of Zhao Dongting's army, each imperial guard has set up chief and deputy commander, Du Yuhou, who is responsible for war, while Du Yuhou is equivalent to a political commissar, in charge of life, logistics, etc.

Therefore, the capitals and servants in each army are actually scholars, because management and logistics are not something that those reckless men can do.

Hearing Zhou Zhangqiang's words, He Chenghua just chuckled and said, "What if he fights too hard and scares them away directly?"

Of course, his target is not just these few thousand cavalrymen.

Wen Tianxiang was telling them to abandon Songxi, and Zhenghe, he emphasized the explanation, asking them to hurt the Yuan army. Only in this way can the Yuan army launch a decisive battle directly.

Zhou Zhangqiang also smiled a little beside him.

He Chenghua shouted again: "Aim! Get ready to shoot!"

"beat!"

The dust rolled in front of him, and when the Yuan army was only tens of meters away from the army, He Chenghua shouted.

The dense gunshots rang out.

The front row of soldiers of the Yuan army's iron cavalry were shot and fell off the horse one after another.

But the army behind them still rushed towards the Song army's position one after another.

"Lare!"

He Chenghua shouted again after waiting for the Yuan army at the front.

The soldier who attracted the thunder suddenly pulled the lead in his hand.

Rumbled thunder.

Dust spreads.

The front became very messy in an instant.

The Yuan army was probably surrounded by thousands of iron cavalry in the explosion, with people and horses flying over and flesh flying.

And behind, Du Lei and others just looked at this scene coldly.

They knew the depth of the Song army, and naturally understood that the Song army could not only use the Shenlong gun to defend.

Perhaps even the thunder array was within their expectations. And Du Lei and others were naturally mentally prepared for this loss.

"Blow the trumpet!"

Looking at the dust in front of him, the smoke gradually covered his sight, Du Lei just ordered.

The Yuan army's medium-sized sound.

The Yuan army cavalry, who had originally appeared panic due to the explosion, regrouped and rushed forward again.

"Throw thunder!"

He Chenghua ordered again.

But he never intended to let the grenade battalion fire a cannon.

Thunders thunders were thrown out by the Song army.

The Yuan army's cavalry suffered even more severe losses.

However, someone in the Yuan army ran the sky-bang thunder into the Song army's position.

This made the Song army a little bit damaged.

The official road is so wide that it can only accommodate about five or six horses charging side by side. It seems that the battle will not end so soon.

Du Lei and others saw hope.

Five thousand iron cavalry alone rushed to the front of the Song army's position, posing a threat to the Song army's formation. They traveled more than 30,000 troops, and it seemed that they could completely eat up the Song army.

Although, that would have to pay a huge price.

But what is this?

Du Lei knew very well that even if he had caused more than half of the 30,000 soldiers to be killed in order to destroy the Tiansu Army of Song, the commander would definitely praise him and would not scold him.

After all, how many soldiers were there in the Yuan Dynasty, and how many imperial guards were there in the Song Dynasty?

The generals of the Yuan Dynasty also understood the difference in combat effectiveness between the armies of the two sides.

Seeing that it was getting dark, Du Lei said to the two ten thousand men beside him: "The two generals are also ready to let the cavalry charge! If you destroy the Tiansu Army, the commander will be rewarded with great reward."

The eyes of the two ten thousand men were emitting a slight light.

Of course they can see what Du Lei can see.
