The corpses of the Liao army were in a mess. Because the Liao cavalry came to support too quickly, the Song army had no time to cut off their heads, so they only cut off all their left ears and hurried away with their horses. However, the horse manure was still hot, and the blood stains on the stalls in the big beach had not completely solidified.

The plundering of the Song army caused great difficulties for the Liao cavalry. The war horses had to be maintained by gnawing green, and losing weight was inevitable. The well water could not be drunk. If there were no streams and rivers in the camp, they had to dig the ground to get water. The Liao army was used to drinking yellow mud soup. The place where the Song army fled, the well was filled with rotten corpses, and the villagers were not aware of the traces. The village was plundered so that there was no grain of food. "Bandits passed like combs, and soldiers passed like combs."

The Liao cavalry behind the Song army deeply understood the saying that was circulated among the people of the Southern Dynasties. Mountains and rivers are crisscrossing and hills are densely packed. Over the past few days, the detective cavalry will be easily ambushed by the Song army. The hundreds of cavalry often do not return. The horses are often lost. The thousand men have lost more than a hundred people under their command. They are all warriors in the clan. They are heartbroken and are even more angry: "These Song people who escape with their tails and dare to steal!"

"General?"

"Chasing!" Su Butai's face looked ferocious and he said fiercely from his mouth, "Song Zhu hasn't escaped yet."

The Liao army was best at identifying the traces of people and horses. They judged that the Song army had not gone far away and did not care about restraining the bodies of their tribesmen. They shouted and urged the horses to run fast. More than a thousand cavalry chased the traces of the Song army retreating like a whirlwind.

After galloping for about half an hour, he arrived in Jiangzhou for more than ten miles. Subutai couldn't help but feel anxious. It would be troublesome to let the Song army escape back to Jiangzhou. At this moment, more than a hundred cavalry in front suddenly pulled their horses and the war horses neighed. As soon as they rushed up a slope, some people bent their bows and arrows, and some people pulled out scimitars. The captain was shouting loudly, and the cavalry who rushed down the hillside rushed back in a hurry. In panic, the formation suddenly became scattered.

"There is an ambush!" Su Butai shouted loudly, "What's going on? Don't be confused!" He pulled out a scimitar with one hand and urged the horse to move forward. He secretly wondered in his heart that the horse had already discovered that the road ahead was wide, with only some gentle hillsides and few trees. This was not a place to ambush.

"Song Army!...Song Army!" The centurion who ran back was speechless, "" So many... so many Song Army!"

"What's going on?" Su Butai was puzzled. He waved his hand and let the centurion follow behind him. As soon as he rushed up the hillside, he saw the Song army, chasing the large group of Song army that he had not seen for ten days! On the gentle slope not far away, the Song army seemed to have been waiting for a long time and formed a neat formation. The Song army formation was facing the rising sun in the east. The shiny siege armor reflected the brilliant sunshine, like a piece of shimmering lake water. The spear and axe were like forests, and more were musket gunmen who had already suffered enough. The two hills near the Song army formation were also occupied by the Song army's camps, and various flags were floating high behind the muzhan walls.

Subutai took a breath and couldn't help but slam the reins, and the horse stopped on the high slope.

"Song Army,..., this is the army of the country," Subutai could count the horses two or three miles away. He quickly scanned the huge array of Song Army. "And, Bao Yi Army?" He shouted in disbelief, "Are you fooled?" A terrifying feeling surged into his heart. Subutai suddenly turned around and shouted, "Hurry, report to General Xiao!"

"Fire the cannon—" Zhao Xingde ordered, "Don't move the enemy, bomb them out!"

"Yes!" Gao Su took the order loudly and turned around and said, "Fire the cannon!"

"fire!"

"Fire the gun!" The gunmasters of each artillery group ordered loudly.

Rows of artillery had already aimed at the hillside where the Liao cavalry array was located. Although it was condescending and extremely suitable for cavalry array, it happened to be within the range of the artillery. Zhao Xingde also took a fancy to this place early in the morning and asked the artillery battalion gunners to aim for the test firing several times.

"Boom--" "Boom--" "Boom--" "Boom--" Black smoke rose.

Round iron shells flew towards the densely arranged Liao cavalry. On the open battlefield between the two armies, the dark flight trajectory of the shells was very obvious. The Liao cavalry even seemed to have time to avoid it in advance. However, the Liao cavalry, who were familiar with the power of artillery in early battles, panicked. Although the shells flew a little slower, they were still much faster than the war horses. In the midst of the noisy and neighing of the people, dozens of shells fell into the group of cavalry that had not yet dispersed. Wherever the round shells passed, the scene of flesh and blood flying intensified the chaos of the Liao cavalry. Many commanders even led their troops to rush down the hillside without waiting for the commander's order. Everyone could see that the Song army had already aimed at this slope, and staying on it was waiting to die!

"Damn it!" Brother Tiemu didn't know whether he was scolding himself or scolding the cunning Song General. On the grassland, this slope is an excellent cavalry position, and anyone who sees it must occupy first. However, the emergence of artillery changed the rules of war. He just thought about building a camp overnight to consolidate his position. Now it seems that it is not necessary. What kind of temporary camp can resist the bombardment?

The artillery fire of the Song army has been announced. There are only two ways to put it in front of the Liao army. Either fight or get out!

"It's all that cowardly bastard!" Xiao Xiangsheng retreated from the hillside in a mess. To be precise, he rushed forward. A shell landed beside him, almost smashing the pride of the rear tribe into a ball of meat sauce. Xiao Xiangsheng couldn't help but feel angry. Unlike the prairie barbarians, Xiao Xiangsheng had not seen iron barrel cannons, but there were many in the Han army camp in Shangjing. The artillerymen who walked by trembling under the Khitan cavalry, even looked up at the courageous

There was no energy. Xiao Xiangsheng never thought that the iron barrel cannons played by those cowardly guys could block the scimitars and bows of the Khitan cavalry. As long as the horses were fast enough, dealing with artillery was as simple as cutting infantrymen. First capture the artillery camp of the Song army, and then rush down on the hillside on that side to attack the flanks of the Song army's infantry formation. If Temuge leads his army to fight from the front, the two groups of tens of thousands of cavalry would shatter the large formation of the Song army's bluffing infantry as if they were iron fists.

"It's no big deal!" Xiao Xiangsheng shouted. Without any hesitation, he drew out the scimitar, "Run up with me!"
