Chapter 94

"Zhao Xingde's tooth soldiers can still fight." Yue Fei put down the Qianli Mile Mile and turned around, "Let each battalion select elite troops and practice thunder throwers."

"Abide by the order!" Zhang Xian said in a deep voice. He had always been arrogant and a look of unnatural flashed across his face.

Although in the military newspaper submitted by the Baoyi Army, the thunderbolters in the Ya Bingbat made many military achievements, Yue Fei witnessed the thunderbolters in the Zhenguo Army with his own eyes. Most of the generals of the Song Dynasty used infantry to control cavalry and studied various formations for this purpose. However, Yue Fei had always advocated the use of military commands to attack the Han and Tang dynasties. Only by establishing a powerful cavalry and attacking the Northern Territories could the Liao army be driven out of the Central Plains. Although the infantry and military camp of the Zhenguo Army could also withstand hard fighting, Yue Fei still could not satisfy him. Therefore, the elites of the Zhenguo Army, Beiweiying and Tabaiying, were both cavalrymen.

Since the Yi barracks of various prefectures and counties gathered in Shuzhou and prepared to fight the Liao army, the Zhenguo Army and the Baoyi Army have recruited heroes and heroes from the Yi army to expand themselves, and their troops have expanded to more than 10,000. Since the invasion of the Northern Barbarians, the southeast has been in a panic, which has caused many industries to decline and the people have lived in poverty. The county can quickly recruit Dao Ding Zhuang to form the Yi barracks. Compared with the Yi barracks of the Prefectures and County, the military salary and salary of the Zhenguo Army and the Baoyi Army have been promoted quickly, and the military achievements have been made quickly. Moreover, the family members of the military soldiers can move into the city, which is much more stable than outside. Therefore, for the people, enrolling in the army has become a good way out. However, in this way, the burden of ordinary people in Jingxiang and several routes in Jiangnan has been heavier. Some students even made suggestions to the Prime Minister's Mansion that have reached the edge of officials and forced the people to rebel.

"Please allow the general to go out of the battle." Zhang Xian suddenly asked for battle.

Yue Fei pondered slightly, looked at the Liao cavalry like dark clouds in the distance, and nodded: "Beiwei Camp first came out to drive away the enemy cavalry, and the front barracks were ready to seize the Liao camp," he turned his head and said to the commander, "I inform General Zhao that once the enemy camp is captured, please keep up quickly and not delay." The commander rushed down the camp almost at the same time as Zhang Xian.

Nearly two thousand cavalrymen of Beiweiying have slowly set out. Some of these cavalrymen were imperial guards from the imperial guards, and some were heroes of Hebei who fled here. All of these people are excellent riding skills, and they are especially good at horseback guns in addition to riding and shooting. The more than 300 cavalry of the First Capital led by Zhang Xian himself are all people who can shoot left and right bows without turning their bodies. The bows and archery speeds are extremely fast, and they are known as the left capital.

The cavalry of Beiwei Camp slowly came out of the formation and formed a long snake formation in front of the Central Army camp. Zhang Xian raised his cavalry with his right hand, signaling his subordinates to make a slight team, and then put down the cover. Compared with the Northern Barbarians, the Song Dynasty lacked horses, and the Song army was unable to be the main force of cavalry, but because of this, the Song army has never been stingy with the equipment of elite cavalry. The cavalry of Beiwei City wore iron armor and horses, but the standard of Hebei Camp was the Hebei Camp. In addition to the better-raised war horses, the armor and swords and guns were wiped brighter, which was not much different from other heavy-armored Song army cavalry. However, in daily training, Beiwei Camp always wore heavy armor, rushed to steep slopes, jumped into trenches, and had whipped a stern mistake. As the cavalry followed Zhang Xian's movements, they put down the iron-faced curtain connected to the helmets, and the formation stood still, and they were full of awesome evil spirits throughout their lives.

Beiweiying is Yue Fei's personal soldiers. Yue Fei can name every soldier. He looked from left to right along the formation. When he saw the back of a soldier with a military flag hanging on a horse-drawn in the middle, his eyes narrowed for a moment. Even if it was his back, he could recognize that this cavalry was Yue Yun. Although Yue Yun was Yue Fei's eldest son, he was in the most dangerous place and his treatment was no different from ordinary soldiers. This is also one of the reasons why Yue Fei's strict military management was not complaining about the soldiers.

The iron armor sounded slightly, and Zhang Xian held a spear in one arm, pointed diagonally forward, and the war horses started running in small steps. Yue Yun followed him with a military flag high, starting with Yue Fei, and generals fought for the vanguard, and retreated for the rear. This is also the tradition of the state-controlled army. The cavalry urged the war horses and followed Zhang Xian one after another. More than two thousand cavalry slowly rode their horses, from a long snake formation to a geese formation, and the two wings continued to drag backwards, becoming the most suitable cone formation for drilling through the enemy camp.

Zhang Xian was always riding his horse in the front, staring at the Liao cavalry in front of him, and did not look back at his formation. He only relied on the rhythmic sound of horse hooves and iron armor in his ears. He always knew that his subordinates had calmly completed the transformation of the battle formation while advancing. If it were an ordinary cavalry, such a formation would inevitably cause chaos, but if it was done in Beiweiying, it was extremely familiar and even like a legendary horse dance performance.

The Liao cavalry became faintly turbulent. Brother Tiemu squinted his eyes and looked at the Song cavalry coming out of the battle, with a trace of dark clouds covering his face.

There were tens of thousands of Liao cavalry, most of which were waiting for opportunities behind the frontier camps. However, since June, the weather in Jiangnan has gradually become hot and humid, and the Liao soldiers who are accustomed to the cool climate are not adaptable. Both people and war horses have begun to have some inexplicable epidemics. Some tribe members have secretly said that they want to return to the grassland to spend the summer. Since the Baoyi Army and Henghai Army arrived in Shuzhou one after another, the pressure felt by this part of the Liao army has doubled. One of the Liao soldiers who went south was killed or injured. As time delayed, more and more Song troops gathered in Shuzhou. Although most of them were Yi soldiers in the prefectures and counties that could not stand the battle, these Yi soldiers were like streams merging into the river, continuously providing troops and reserve camps for the elite troops of the Song State.

Tiemuge repeatedly urged Yelu Bijie, the commander of the Southern Expedition Eastern Army, to increase his troops to Baozhou, but Hangzhou delayed the dispatch of troops on the grounds that Jiangnan was not determined and the bandits in Jingdong were ready to move. Jiangnan East Road was the richest place in the Song State. Khitan generals robbed soldiers in Jiangning and Hangzhou, filling their own bags, as if horses broke into the forage farm, and no one was willing to leave. Later, Yelu Bijie even sent Tiemuge with Yelu Dashi's imperial edict. Tiemuge wanted to abandon the sign army and led the cavalry to retreat to Jiangning. He was strictly prohibited by Yelu Bijie, so that he must firmly attract the main force of the Song army in Shuzhou. "The lives of the Khitans are life, but are the lives of the people in my tribe?" No one complained below, but they were suppressed by Tiemuge.

Unexpectedly, the Song people also had such a strong cavalry. Brother Tiemu's eyes turned slightly cold. He raised his whip with his right hand, waved his left and right, and then pointed forward. With this action, more than 6,000 cavalry of the entire front army urged the horses to move forward. Since the invasion of the south, the cavalry from various tribes had already been replaced with distinct armor, but out of habit, they did not have full armor like the Song cavalry. With the launch of the Liao army, the artillery of the Song army's front-line artillery building accelerated the firing. Round iron shells roared into the cavalry, swelling blood, forcing the Liao cavalry to disperse and not maintain a dense formation like Beiweiying.

"Damn the Southern Barbarian!" A trace of fierceness flashed in Brother Tiemu's eyes.

The Song army moved the artillery forward overnight. Although the temporary artillery base was short, the shells fired could cover the entire battlefield. When the artillery was weak, the Liao army cavalry could only station horses outside the artillery fire of the Song army. At the beginning of the charge, they entered the range of the Song army's artillery. This was the first frontal battle between the two armies since the Liao army invaded the south. Before this, although the Song army repeatedly relied on harassment and the navy and tricks, Tiemu Ge was still confident in the strength of his cavalry. As long as the two armies were mixed together and formed a melee situation, the Song army's artillery fire could not play a role. After so many days of battle, Tiemu Ge also knew that the Southern Barbarian generals were very pedantic. The Song army even informed the Liao army that they could temporarily cease the battle to collect the corpses. Tiemu Ge saw at a glance that this was a delaying strategy and refused. It was impossible for such a pedantic general in the Southern Dynasty to bombard the soldiers in the battle without distinction.

The two cavalry were like two rushing torrents. The speed of both sides was getting faster and faster, without any intention of giving in. Until they finally collided, Yue Fei saw the Beiwei Camp in a red military robe deeply penetrated into the loose formation of the Liao army, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised. With two fierce generals Zhang Xian and Yue Yun as vanguards, they were all in the same position. Both sides pushed the speed of the war horses to the extreme, and the balance of victory quickly tilted towards Beiwei Camp, and their formation was even stricter.

The armor is thicker, and the spear technique is more advanced. The moment the horse passed by, the cavalry of the opposite Liao army was just right to knock down the Liao army cavalry, but it was damaged by little. The Beiwei cavalry in red robe was like a sharp blade, rolling up blood waves wherever they passed. After more than a dozen breaths, they drilled through the enemy formation. Under Zhang Xian's command, Beiwei Camp had half a circle with a very small radius, and there was almost no whole team. It rushed towards the already scattered Liao cavalry group like a hungry tiger pounced on a sheep.

"I didn't expect it." Lu Mingyu frowned. "I really didn't expect it." Luo Xianshi sighed with empathy. The generals of the Baoyi Army, who had always been competitive, had to accept it at this time. Even Zhao Xingde did not expect that Beiweiying could fight so much. He turned around and asked, "How is it?"

Ma Rui sighed: "I thought the Song Dynasty was okay with just bows and crossbows, and this cavalry was also elite in Guanxi."

Zhao Xingde nodded and whispered: "The Liao thief will not give up. Will Brother Ma want to try it?"

"Fight with the heroes of the world for a long time," Ma Rui smiled and said, "Ma asked for it." Zhao Xingde immediately sent an order, and the cavalry camps put on horses and slowly moved to the rear of the cannon base. Ma Rui sat on the horse, holding a big gun waiting for the military order to attack.

At this time, the situation on the battlefield changed. Seeing that the Beiweiying was powerful, the Liao army changed its tactics and no longer fought head-on with it. Instead, it was divided into cavalry groups of varying sizes and wandered around on all sides. With the advantage of cavalry shooting, it kept firing arrows at Beiweiying. Whenever Beiweiying rushed over, the Liao army's cavalry dispersed like flies.

Beiweiying was not showing weakness. Zhang Xian specialized in picking up the right side of the Liao cavalry. Although the Liao army was good at cavalry shooting, it did not form a battalion of warriors who could shoot left and right into a battalion. For cavalry who could only use their right hand to shoot the archery blind spots on the right. Under the protection of other cavalry, Beiweiying shots shot with the left and left. When the two armies crossed, the arrows broke through the air, and the Liao army fell one after another. Taking advantage of the Liao army's panic, Beiweiying caught up again, and shot arrows with guns and arrows. The Liao army fell one after another. Later, they only fought on all sides and did not dare to approach Beiweiying. The arrows shot from afar were weak and powerless, and they even landed in front of the Song army's war horses.
