As the enemy approached, the rocket artillery and Weiyuan artillery seemed to be powerless, but they were still roaring, blocking and firing at the enemy's rear team. When the enemy's forward approached the corner of the front line fifty paces and tried to destroy it, the Weiyuan cannon raised its muzzle and fired an air-burst bomb, and as the cartridge exploded in mid-air, the horse rejection nails wrapped in it fell on the front line like a goddess scattering flowers, forming a new blocking belt, and when the enemy horse stepped on it, everyone turned on their backs.

At this time, the rapid-fire guns at the forefront immediately withdrew their guns from their positions and moved to the right flank after firing the last round of shotguns, while the infantry troops on standby in the rear stepped forward in whole formations and prepared to shoot. The sharpshooters dispatched by various units were active in front of the array to snipe the enemy heralds with flags and flag-bearers holding flags, further deepening the confusion of the enemy cavalry under shelling.

At the same time, the battalion's small artillery, such as the Baizi Gun, the Benlei Gun and the mortar, began to fire, although these small guns were not as powerful as the Weiyuan Gun and other medium and heavy artillery, but their power at close range should not be underestimated, especially with their light gun body quickly adjusted, to carry out precision strikes on small groups of targets. Then cover the infantry formation, and the rapid-fire artillery withdrew from the position.

'Didi Di ......' saw the red pennant raised on the platform of the Chinese army, and a long horn sounded, and the musketeers who were ready to shoot immediately raised their guns to shoot, and immediately turned around and retreated to reload after firing; At this time, the horn sounded again, and the second platoon immediately stepped forward and fired a volley, then retreated to the rear row to reload, followed by the third platoon of shooters in turn.

"Okay, this mighty cannon is like a bell and drum, a small cannon is like a chime, and the musket is a slow knock on a loose board, like a feast!" Seeing that the menacing enemy cavalry was blocked by his own artillery fire, like waves crashing on the reef and smashing into pieces, struggling and wailing in the fireworks, Wang Yinglin couldn't help but feel good, pointed to the battlefield and stroked his beard and laughed.

"It's the joy of death!" Zhao Hao, who was looking down at the battlefield, frowned. He was full of optimism about the battle situation, but he also knew that the artillery equipped by the Song army at this moment was difficult to move compared with modern times, the rate of fire was slow, and the firing range was like that of an old man in his seventies or eighties, but he still beat the Mongolian army violently, but although the momentum of the enemy's offensive was contained, it was far from being defeated, and its offensive was still continuing.

Zhao Hao inspected the warship shrouded in smoke and dust, although the enemy was surrounded by artillery and muskets, he also found that his proud bow and arrow could not shoot the opponent, but the opponent's cannonballs could scatter his own ranks, pierce and tear their armor, and turn flesh and blood into pieces. Therefore, they also began to adjust their formation, concentrating heavy cavalry to continue to attack the Chinese defense line, trying to seize the artillery position; The light cavalry made a detour to their right flank, intending to break through the entire line by opening a gap in the attack from the flank.

Zhao Yu turned slightly to look at the cavalry brigade arranged on the right flank, they did not attack to resist the enemy, but dismounted like infantry to line up with muskets against the enemy, in an array line to shoot at the enemy in turn, after receiving the support of rapid-fire artillery maneuvering to the right flank position, successfully blocked the enemy outside the line, blocked the momentum of the attack, and stabilized the defensive line.

The enemy's heavy cavalry attacking the Chinese defense line regrouped the scattered divisions, adjusted the formation, and concentrated on the front to launch a fierce attack on the Song army's front, and a melee around artillery began. But their attack was still difficult, the heavy armor on their bodies could not stop the power of the guns at all, the wind-like war horses could not break through the bullets of the fire net, the men and horses fell in pieces, the blood flowed like rivers, it was difficult to care for each other, the screams of the wounded and the wails of the war horses even overpowered the roar of the guns.

However, the stubborn attack of the Mongolian army, at the cost of countless lives, was not all in vain. As far as Zhao Yu could see, an enemy cavalry broke through the blocking line of the artillery, and finally broke through the blocking horse in front of the formation, approaching fifty steps in front of the formation, and after shooting a few arrows, he held the blade in his hand. He saw that the size of the flag still fluttering should be a thousand-man team, but in the process of the assault, most of it had been lost, and less than 100 horsemen had broken into the front of the formation, but even if such a small force broke into the formation, its destructive power should not be underestimated, once they broke through the formation and broke into the artillery position, the enemy cavalry in other places would take advantage of the weakening of the fire to swarm in from then on.

The generals of the Song army who swept the formation in front naturally also discovered the danger, waved their flags one after another, the sound of horns also became urgent, the frequency and density of firearms in the front increased suddenly, and the surrounding departments also concentrated their firepower to attack the enemy who broke through. The jumping soldiers of each unit had already left the formation and marched forward, forming a skirmish line, ready to fight the enemy in hand-to-hand combat. And there are reserves in the rear, which has strengthened the defensive depth of this line.

Although the enemy cavalry was fiercely resisted, the distance between the two armies was too close, and after paying half of the casualties, they finally broke through to the front. However, after breaking through the heavy fire interception, it has lost the speed that the cavalry charges most on, and the veterans with rich combat experience do not hesitate to pierce the horse's hips with daggers in order to increase the speed of the horse, so as to stimulate the madness of the horse, increase the speed, strengthen the collision force, and let go to make the last fight.

The jumping soldiers of the Song army can be called the elite of all departments, they are all veterans with actual combat experience, in accordance with the tactical requirements of counterattacking the enemy cavalry in training, in the face of the approaching enemy cavalry do not retreat but advance, and form a combat group to meet the enemy with guns. One of them shoots at the enemy horseman who poses the greatest threat to his side, trying to wound or even kill the horse first. The heavy cavalry of the enemy who fell from their horses was a dish on the board, and a heavy armor made it difficult for them to walk and lost most of their combat effectiveness. And the heavy armor will be pierced by the stab of the three-edged bayonet. Therefore, although this group of enemy cavalry rushed through the line of fire, it was still difficult to do anything under the heavy blockade of the Song army, and they were quickly knocked off their horses under the gunfire and stabbing of the jumping soldiers, and became the credit of the Song officers and soldiers.

Although the battle was once very fierce, the Mongolian army's iron cavalry also broke through the Song army's firepower blockade line several times, rushed to the front of the formation, and even broke through the array, which seemed to be in danger. But under the strong resistance of the Song army, they were still repulsed, leaving layers of corpses in front of the formation, and returned with feathers, it was difficult to shake the large array, let alone break into the artillery positions behind the depths.

Zhao Yu looked at it, and after several rounds of impact, the Mongolian army at this time had exhausted its momentum and became more and more weak, but they did not withdraw their troops. Instead, let the soldiers who had gathered the lost horses charge forward, shooting at the Song army with bows and arrows, trying to break the formation and win the opportunity for the cavalry to break the formation. And their last effort, in his opinion, was just a death struggle, and it was difficult to recover the defeat.

In fact, at the beginning of the war, Zhao Yu judged that his own side locked the battle situation. In the war, we pay attention to the right time, the right place, and the right people, and we don't talk about empty slogans such as 'resisting the tyranny of the Mengyuan Dynasty and saving the people from fire and water,' just as the two sides occupy half of the time and the other side; in terms of geographical advantages, the Song army did have the advantage, and although the infantry army was not good at maneuvering, the water network in Yangzhou was also not conducive to cavalry mobility. Moreover, the Song army preemptively occupied the key points around Yangzhou City, which was equivalent to locking the scope of the battlefield, while the Mongolian army defended the city, and from the overall situation, it also gave up its own advantage of mobility.

Today's battlefield is also not big for cavalry, and the tactics that the Mongolian army is good at feints to lure the enemy into pursuit, and then return to the horse to counterattack cannot be carried out at all due to the scope of the battlefield. The place is so big, feint defeat and retreat, enter the city without running a few steps, there is no room for the horse to return, and there is no way to talk about setting up ambushes, but because of the pursuit of the Song army, it will cause chaos, and it will be chaotic, so it can only adopt the tactics of blindly attacking with hard artillery fire.

As for the people, the three Wanhu Mansions in Mengyuan City were not subordinate to each other before, and it was only because the war occurred in Yangzhou that Batu was the leader. Although Ma Shao, who presided over the peace conference in the city, was Zuo Cheng of Jiangbei Province, he was a civil official and a Han Chinese, and he did not hold military power on weekdays, nor could he restrain the army. The loss of the two cities of Zhenzhou and Taizhou has caused the reinforcements of the two routes to lose their roots, and they are naturally not willing to be here, and there must be differences in tactics.

On the other hand, on the side of the Song army, Zhao Yu is the royal driver, and there is no question of authority, even if he doesn't ask about the specific war, who dares not to ask. Even if there are differences between the generals, the emperor is in charge here, and everything can be decided by him, and there will be no major disputes.

'Woo woo woo ......' Meng Yuan's side suddenly made a loud horn, Zhao Yu listened to a stirring spirit, thinking that it was urging the army to attack again, but after listening carefully, it was indeed the horn of the withdrawal army, and the enemy troops on the battlefield were already difficult to support, and when they heard the horn of retreat, they turned their horses and fled to the main formation. For a while, there was chaos on the battlefield, and they couldn't care about each other or anything.

"Your Majesty, our army has also begun to fight back!" Tan Fei reminded at this time by pointing to the five-color flag leaning forward of the Chinese army.

"Well, there's no time to lose!" Zhao Hao nodded and said, being able to react at the moment when the enemy retreated showed that Ni Liang was also becoming more mature and had been able to grasp the situation on the battlefield, which made him very happy.

The sound of 'knock, knock, knock, ......' marching drums also sounded, and the three armies adjusted their formations again, quickly changing from a defensive formation to a pursuit formation, and from a horizontal formation to a column during the march, and slaughtered the battlefield like a sea of mountains.

The cavalry brigades arranged on the right flank of "kill, kill, kill...... also mounted their horses and launched a pursuit of the enemy after the enemy began to retreat. They had just been used as infantry to defend the line for a long time, and they had already held their breath, so they ordered the whole team to mount their horses and start the pursuit, and detoured to the east, intercepting the fleeing enemy, trying to force the remnants of the enemy in the direction of the canal.

"This is really a mountain of defeat!" Seeing that the enemy troops who were scrambling to flee back to their own camp were already difficult to maintain order after the fiasco, not only were they chaotic, but even the Chinese army could not stop them, and they were actually coerced to retreat in the direction of Yangzhou, Wang Yinglin couldn't help but sigh when he saw this......
