Song Jun is still calculating with heart and mind this time, which Ni Liang can say to have inherited the tradition of the little emperor very well. The river bridge suddenly collapsed without warning, and a hundred-person team of the Yingzhou Army walking in front slid into the Tianmu River with the pontoon bridge, and no matter how well-trained the army suddenly suffered a sudden mutation, it was inevitable that there would be panic, and the people in front hurriedly retreated to dodge, but the people behind did not know what was going on, and wanted to find out, and continued to move forward, so that the marching queue was immediately chaotic.

Ni Liang concentrated all the artillery of each brigade in the middle of the battle line, wanting to defeat the command system of the enemy's Chinese army first. At a distance of 300 paces, rapid-fire guns could only use flowering shells, but more than 40 guns fired at the same time, and the power produced should not be underestimated, and all of them fell in the explosion of the enemy's marching army. At the same time, the detachments of Ben Lei Gong took advantage of the smoke to rise and began to charge forward, and after a hundred paces, they quickly set up artillery and opened fire on the enemy's marching troops.

The firing range of the rapid-fire guns is short, and it is difficult to effectively kill the enemy in the latent position, so they must quickly carry the cannon forward after the rapid-fire cannon is fired to ensure that they enter the effective firing range, and the rapid-fire cannon can not only continue to kill the enemy, but also can cover their impact, so that the detachments can quickly meet the enemy.

Before setting out for the battle, the Ben Lei Gun detachment strengthened more than 50 guns, counting the equipment of the headquarters of the Third Brigade reached nearly 200 guns, and the distance between the two guns was about 10 paces, thus forming a wide coverage area of more than 3 miles, completely covering the enemy's Chinese army. The numerical advantage also allows them to choose to fire at intervals to maintain the continuity of firepower and gain time for the infantry to assemble and enter the battlefield.

The front-loading thunderbolt is generally fired in a mixed mode of large and small projectiles, in which the large lead bullet weighing two taels is like a meteor to shoot into the enemy group first, and the enemy troops in rows are the favorite. It can easily penetrate the body of an enemy soldier in leather armor, and often still has the strength to penetrate the body of an adjacent enemy soldier, and if it goes well, it will be a bloody alley.

And the more than 100 small projectiles that erupted from the fan surface were not as domineering as the big projectiles, but they were also like a broom that swept away all obstacles within a width of thirty steps in front of them, and if they were hit at close range, the person would become a sieve, and even if they didn't hit the vital point, the blood in the body would flow out in a very short time. Of course, even if you are hit by one or two small projectiles, it will not taste good, and under the current medical conditions, being hit in the limbs may be able to save your life, but if you hit the torso, you are afraid that it depends on how much virtue you have accumulated in your previous life!

The continuous artillery fire of the Song army instantly beat the Yingzhou army to heavy casualties, but after suffering a blow, whether it was the first instinct of human beings, or well-trained, the enemy either looked for shelter, or left the official road to avoid artillery fire, for a time there was a long gap on the road, as for the Yingzhou army Wanhu Di Hun was killed is not clear, but its handsome banner has fallen to the ground.

When the artillery was fired, the concealed infantry also quickly crossed the earthen beam, and completed the assembly in the movement, and quickly advanced in columns. Faster than them were a battalion of cavalry assigned to the 3rd Brigade, whose task was to fight their way out of the right flank after the battle had begun, cut off the retreat of the Yuan army, and drive the enemy eastward to prevent them from escaping back to Changhua. After completing the mission, go west to guard and block the enemy on the Changhua side.

The most powerful weapon for the infantry to hold back the cavalry was to form formations and resist their onslaught in dense formations. But at this time, the Chinese army was attacked by the artillery of the Song army, and it was in extreme confusion, and the widest part of the official road was only about two zhang, and it was impossible for the marching army to discharge a dense formation, otherwise it would not even be able to move away, so at most it could only accommodate a six-way column, even if they lined up on the spot, the thin formation could not resist the charge of the cavalry, not to mention that there was enough time to set up the formation with peace of mind.

The distance of 500 paces was very short for a running war horse, and the panicked Yuan army only had time to shoot a sparse array of arrows in the direction of the Song cavalry's attack, and the marching army that did not form a formation was crushed. But the scattered Yuan army has not yet completed the assembly again, and the cavalry of the Song army turned back again to kill them, and the rear of the Yuan army has been defeated several times.

The road to advance was destroyed, and the rear was cut off by the Song cavalry, and the Chinese army suffered heavy artillery hits, while the Song army brigade in the north had already assembled and pressed against them, and the only direction of retreat was the beach between the two rivers. They also knew that it was a dangerous place, but there was no time to consider and no chance to choose, and the rout retreated in a swarm.

The Song infantry column quickly crossed the artillery position and launched a pursuit, and the 8th Regiment, which was in the middle of the line, quickly broke through the open gap, and then made a detour to the left and right, dividing the enemy into two parts. The 7th and 9th Regiments, which were divided into two flanks, pursued in a unit, advancing in parallel as the Mongols usually used to do so, with any of them inserting into the gap between the enemy and immediately outflanking them to cut off their retreat, while the others on the other side quickly surrounded and divided the enemy and gathered and annihilated......

"Dutong, the Yingzhou army retreated into the preset area, but re-erected the handsome flag, sent troops to block our army, and covered its formation!"

"I saw it!" Ni Liang stood on a high slope on the west side of the official road, looking at the battlefield with a telescope, the enemy army had been compressed to the depths of the angle at this moment, the battle line was shortened to less than three miles, and the two enemy forces merged again. After the Yuan army resumed its command, it gradually stabilized its position and organized waves of troops to resist one after another, trying to buy time for the formation of the formation. The Song army also felt the resistance, and often as soon as they broke through, enemy troops rushed up to fill the gap, desperately blocking the gap, causing the speed of advance to become slower and slower.

"Dutong, if the enemy army forms a formation, it will be difficult for us to break through!" Sun Jin said with a frown.

"Turn the column into a horizontal formation, march in unison, shoot on the march, break their blocking defenses, and continue to compress the enemy army!" Ni Liang put down the binoculars and said. He had already discovered that the tactic of breaking the enemy at one point and breaking down the entire defense line was made difficult to implement by narrowing the terrain and concentrating the enemy's troops.

"Dutong, if you force the enemy in one place, it will be more difficult for us to break the formation!" Sun Jin said with a bitter face when he heard this, as the attack surface decreased, the number of troops they could put in would also be limited, and when the two armies were gathered in one place, the muskets would lose their advantage in distance and could only fight hand-to-hand in close combat.

"Are you scared?" Ni Liang twisted his face and said, he saw through Sun Jin's Xiao Jiujiu at a glance, knowing that he was worried that the Song army would be defeated by the Yuan army who were good at hand-to-hand combat in close combat.

"Dutong, how can the last general be cowardly!" Sun Jin straightened up and said.

"Look at the 1st Brigade, it took 40 paces to meet the enemy before firing and crushing the enemy in one fell swoop, how could they do it?" Ni Liang glared at Sun Jin and said coldly. He knew that the little emperor insisted on developing firearms, and his purpose was to avoid close combat with the enemy, hoping to use long-range firepower to annihilate the enemy in order to reduce his own casualties. The reason for this is that the Han army of the Yuan army is composed of northerners, both in height and physical fitness, they are stronger than the southerners, and in hand-to-hand combat with the Yuan army, they do suffer in one-on-one situations. But Ni Liang understands that a soldier cannot be called a warrior without guts, and at the same time, he cannot tolerate his subordinates losing the courage to fight the enemy in close combat.

"Dutong, the last general is by no means greedy for life and afraid of death, and he is willing to lead the army to capture the flag!" Of course, Sun Jin didn't want to be looked down upon, and he didn't want the Third Brigade led by him to be looked down upon, so he asked for orders angrily.

"Accurate!" Ni Liang didn't stop him, but said in a deep voice.

"Yes, all handsome!" After Sun Jin saluted, he turned around and got on his horse, and walked forward with a team of personal soldiers.

"Dutong, this ...... Sun was not meant to be offended. Seeing this, Xiao Ting hurriedly explained.

"Hehe, it's okay, this guy is still a little bloody, but he is always afraid of how to lead the army alone!" Ni Liang was not angry, pointed to Sun Jin's back and smiled, and then commanded, "Marquis Xiao Yu, you immediately let the artillery move forward, choose a favorable terrain to arrange the position, and help the infantry break through!" ”

"It turns out that the commander is using the method of agitation!" The most taboo on the battlefield is that the commander is not in agreement, Xiao Ting understood that Du Tong did not mean to blame, and ordered the signal corps to convey the commander's order with a smile.

"It's time for our command to move forward, otherwise this kid will laugh at Ben Handsome and cowardly!" Ni Liang waved his hand and ordered to move forward, moving closer to the battlefield......

Di Xun's mood was extremely heavy at the moment, he didn't expect the situation to develop to this extent anyway. As early as ten days ago, he suddenly received an order from Wanhu Mansion, ordering him to immediately lead the army to Shaoxing, and Tongyidu Army helped the Shangdu Army to encircle and suppress the remnant Song Guangwang who invaded Shaoxing. He felt that something was strange at that time, although the military order was general, but the remnant Song Dynasty had always been committed to a corner of Qiongzhou, and it had to pass through the three southeastern provinces before crossing the sea, but there was no report that a large number of Song warships were found, which showed that its strength would not be too much.

And Di Xun also knew that the four thousand households under the jurisdiction of the ten thousand households in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, among which the Shangdu army had the strongest combat effectiveness, and his Yingzhou Han army and the other three Han army ten thousand households were in the middle of the four, but the gap was not big, but it was the farthest away from Hangzhou. However, this time, in addition to using the Yidu Army and the Shangdu Army, the Wanhu Mansion also ordered the Yingzhou Army to assist from afar, which is enough to show that the Song Army that came to attack in addition to its strong combat effectiveness, that is, the army that came was by no means about 10,000 people as said, and there must be another reason why the Song Army was not found in the provinces along the way.

According to the military system of the Yuan army, the implementation of the military household system, once in the army, the generations will have to be a soldier as a profession, subordinate to their own 10,000 household commanders, when there is a shortage, according to the number of Ding Zhuang in the family, the principle of two out of one, three out of two, three out of two, into each army. Now the 20,000-strong team is unable to destroy the Song army, and they have to reinforce themselves, indicating that the incident is beyond the controllable range, and the Yingzhou army has to be dispatched for reinforcements. Therefore, Di Xun secretly recruited 2,000 recruits from the military households under his jurisdiction, bringing the strength of the Yingzhou army to 9,000 people in case of accidents.

He was prepared for the worst, but Di Xun never expected that the Song army would ambush him more than 200 miles away from the main battlefield. In fact, under the first round of artillery fire, the losses of the Chinese army were extremely heavy, three of the seven commanders were killed at the moment, two were seriously wounded, and the other two sub-commanders did not escape the catastrophe in the front and rear armies of the Chinese army, and the staff of the army were almost killed and wounded, but he was blown off his horse and fainted at that time.

When Di Hun woke up, the Song army had already launched an attack, and his own side was forced into this small river loop, and the various armies under it were beaten to pieces, scattered in all directions, and the grain and grass with the Chinese army were completely lost. He urgently ordered to erect the handsome flag, gather the rout, and organize the defense line, and at this time he also reacted, the firearms of the Song army were so sharp, the Shangdu army and the Yidu army must have suffered a big loss, and they had to transfer the Yingzhou army to reinforcements, and they had already become one of the targets of the Song army.

Under such an analysis, Di Xun can conclude that the remnant Song Guangwang did not come here just to want to go back to his hometown on a whim, but to recapture the old capital and occupy the southeast, and they were naturally the first to be eliminated as the main force guarding Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces. But now it's useless to figure it out, the most important thing at the moment is to break out of the encirclement and protect the Yingzhou army, he reappointed a few commanders, let them gather the scattered forces, organize defense first, and then counterattack.

However, it was not easy to stop the Song army, the Song army was simply chasing after him, Di Hun had just gathered some troops, and the defense line had not yet been built, and either the left or right wing was broken, forcing him to retreat. Under the defeat after failure, the Yingzhou army, which could not hold its foot, had retreated for more than ten miles, losing three or four thousand soldiers, and if it retreated further, it would be driven into the river. Seeing that there was no way to retreat, Di Xun drew a line in front of him with a knife, and ordered to line up with this line to block the enemy, and then those who retreated were beheaded, and personally led his own soldiers to supervise the battle, and shot forty or fifty people who crossed the line one after another, and finally stopped the decline.

The Yingzhou military department comes from Xijing, Daming, Zhending, Hejian, Xingzhou, Weizhou and Weizhou, all belong to the land of Yanzhao, and here has always been a place where soldiers must fight, so that since ancient times, the people have been fierce, martial arts, and many generous and sad people. Seeing that he had fallen into a deep place of death, advancing was death, and retreating was also death, but he was inspired to be brave, and with the decisive heart of fighting against the water, he continued to brave the rain of bullets to launch a counterattack, and finally forced the Song army to slow down the pace of attack, won time for the army, and finally succeeded in the formation.

Seeing that the formation was initially formed, Di Xun finally breathed a sigh of relief, although he was currently forced to a dead place facing the river on three sides, he was also free from the danger of being attacked on both wings and the rear army, and he could concentrate his forces on the front and face the enemy with all his might. And in the event of such a large-scale war, unless you pretend not to know, the nearby Lin'an County and Changhua County have already been aware of it, and they will definitely organize troops to reinforce it with all their might. And as long as you desperately hold the defensive line, you can wait for the turnaround, when the Song army is also trapped in this dangerous place, as long as it breaks through, then you can still fight hard to launch a counterattack......
