The red sun jumped up from the horizon, and the sky and the earth were sprinkled with glow, and the sky was red. In the glow, the Khitan army in front immediately became clear. A mile away, you can see it vaguely.

Xie Chi put down the binoculars in his hand and couldn't help but take a breath. He could see clearly that the Khitan cavalry on the opposite side was all heavily armoured, and all the horses had harnesses. Unlike a few days ago, today's Khitans are heavy armored cavalry.

After thinking about it for a while, Xie Chi said to the herald soldiers beside him: "Order the artillery, all for live ammunition!" On the opposite side is heavy armor, and the flowering bullet is of little use! ”

The herald was stunned for a moment and said, "Regiment master, at this time, it's too late to change the shells." ”

Xie Chi was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. After a while, he said: "Even if you can't change it for a while, I will order the city to send out live ammunition as soon as possible!" In the face of heavy armor, the fragments of flowering bullets are only afraid that the damage will not be great. ”

The herald ordered his soldiers to leave, and Xie Chi stopped again: "Go and inform the other masters again, the Khitan is riding heavily into battle, and use more live ammunition!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a low horn sound in front of him. The Khitan heavy cavalry, which was a mile away, slowly pressed towards the Song army. The sound of horses' hooves grew louder and louder, and after a while, it was like thunder.

The Song artillery roared, and a large number of shells fell into the heavy cavalry. After a while, the flowering bomb exploded, and debris flew all over the sky. Unfortunately, the power of the fragments could not penetrate the armor and harness of the heavy rider, and the damage caused was too small.

Gu Yin let out a sigh of relief as he watched the unhindered heavy cavalry march towards the Song army's formation. In terms of feelings, I felt that the Song Army's flowering bullets were not so terrible, and the general soldiers suffered heavy casualties, but the heavy armor should be able to prevent it. Today's battle, as expected.

Seeing that the heavy cavalry was approaching fifty paces, the Song army began to shoot. Musket bullets are much more powerful than the fragments of the Blossom Bullet, but while they can penetrate heavy armor, they often do not cause much damage. And in front of the cavalry, the rate of fire of the musket was too low.

With the rumbling sound of horses' hooves, the Khitan heavy riders raised their spears and broke through the defenses of the Song army in the front row with a charge.

Xie Chi, who was on the watchtower, was frightened, and immediately ordered his own soldiers to order Wu Cheng and Zhang Gan to come to the rescue immediately. At the same time, the artillery was ordered to keep firing artillery, and it was necessary to cut off the Khitan reinforcements that were following behind.

Seeing the heavily armored cavalry break through the Song army's formation, Gu Yin raised a steel knife in his hand and said sharply: "Pu Gu, lead the department to follow, and destroy the Song army!" ”

Pu Gu led the light cavalry, brandished swords and guns, followed behind the heavy cavalry, and rushed straight towards the Song army.

Xie Chi was on the top of the watchtower, holding a telescope in his hand, watching his army formation being slaughtered by the Khitan heavy armored cavalry, and he didn't know what to do for a while. At this time, there were only 5,000 Khitan heavy cavalry, and Gu Yin did not send all of them. But for Xie Chi's 1st Division, 5,000 heavy cavalry was an unstoppable force, and soon the Chinese army was in chaos.

With so much experience in the battle, the Khitans also knew that the guns of the Song army were shocking. Before the start of the war, the ears of the horses were gagged, regardless of whether they were heavy or light. Pu Gu took the light cavalry, followed behind the heavy cavalry, and rushed towards the Song army like a fly. Although there were still shells falling, they were much less than normal and could not stop the Khitan offensive.

Seeing that his unit had been scattered by the Khitan cavalry, it was divided into a small group and a small group, fighting separately. Xie Chi only felt that his eyes were dark, and he knew that this battle was almost undoubted. Raising his eyes and looking around, he only hoped that Song Jun would save him.

Pu Gu rushed into the Song army and ordered all units to attack each artillery position. As long as the artillery is extinguished, the large forces behind can continue to kill. The two armies fought in close combat, how could the Song army be the opponent of the Khitan?

As soon as he looked up, Pu Gu saw the watchtower in front of him, and a general on it was holding a telescope, looking east and west. A few pro-soldiers around him, each drawing a steel knife, guarded his side. With a sneer, with nearly a hundred soldiers, he killed him.

Xie Chi saw it on the watchtower and hurriedly said, "The general situation is not good, let's go down quickly!" ”

As he spoke, he took his own soldiers and walked down the watchtower quickly. Looking around, his subordinates were completely chaotic and no longer organized. Looking at the front again, a Khitan general with a steel gun in his hand and a soldier running towards him. Gritting his teeth, he pulled out the steel knife and said sharply: "Defeated!" What else is there to say at this time! I will fight to the death with this Khitan general, and you will immediately go to other divisions for help! ”

After speaking, he rushed straight towards Pu Gu, who was rushing. The soldiers behind him left at this time, following closely behind Xie Chi.

Just then, I heard the sound of a trumpet in the east. A big banner flew in the glow of the sky.

When the soldiers saw it, they grabbed Xie Chi: "Leader, Master Meng has come to save us!" And avoid these Khitans, let's go and meet Master Meng quickly! When you stabilize your position, you will fight to the death with the Khitans! ”

After speaking, regardless of whether Xie Chitong agreed or not, a few people pulled them and left.

Pu Gu was leading people to chase after him, when he heard the sound of cannons behind him. Looking back, a Song army came from the flank and went straight through. Over there, Gu Yin was adjusting the speed of the army to meet the battle, and it was too late for a while, and his back might be surrounded. had no choice but to give up Xie Chi, beckoned all the departments, and prepared to fight.

Meng Xuezhu looked at the military formation in front and ordered Shao Hai to take his headquarters and collect the soldiers and horses of Xie Chi's first division. At the same time, the subordinate artillery was ordered to urgently arrange gun emplacements. He Lu said to He Lu beside him: "The heavy armored cavalry of the Khitan does not break the bullets. It's a pity that we haven't made timely preparations in the past few days, and most of the live ammunition is in the city, and it's too late now. The sergeant's bayonet was of little use against the heavy cavalry. Immediately you take two hundred soldiers, spears in hand. If the Khitan heavy cavalry came to attack, they would go up and scatter their army. ”

He Lu was stunned: "Master, the heavy cavalry rushed over like a mountain." How can I stop it with a spear? If you go up like this, you are just sending you to death. You still have to think of a way to stop the enemy. ”

Meng Xue said: "In a hurry, there is no other way. He could only charge up to the heavy horse, stab the horse in the neck with a spear, and cut the horse's leg with a waist knife. As long as they are out of order, the musketeers behind will have a way. There is no need to argue, there is only one way to go today! ”

He Lu listened, there was no way, so he had to choose two hundred soldiers, each took a spear, prepared a waist knife, and prepared to step forward to block the Khitan heavy horse.

Infantry against cavalry, or hold on. With a spear in front of him, he was stuck in the ground alive, just like rejecting a horse. Behind the gunners, they mostly used bows and crossbow shooters, constantly firing arrows to shoot the enemy soldiers back. Either for the sake of death and wounded, hedge with the cavalry. The heavy cavalry charge had its own rhythm, and the infantry who rushed up only cared about wounding their horses, disrupting the rhythm of the heavy cavalry, and the rear followed.

The Song army had muskets and artillery, and there were not many swords and guns in the army. Most of these spears are not used in actual combat, and some ceremonial soldiers can only be used reluctantly now. As long as the rhythm of the heavy cavalry is disrupted and their speed is slowed down, the musketeers who keep up can be most effective.

At this time, Xie Chi's 1st Division was completely in disarray, and the heavy armored cavalry was also divided into many teams, chasing and killing the Song army everywhere. If it is not on a scale, there is no big threat to Meng Xuexue who has come over. Shao Hai took the soldiers and horses of the headquarters and quickly took over many Xie Chi's subordinates. The defeated Song army saw that their rescuers had arrived, and they gathered here in spite of everything.
