In the early days of the encounter between the two scouts, battles like this were repeated repeatedly.

At the same time, the Mongolian scouts had to become more cautious, and at the same time, they also had to strengthen the size of the scouts, from a ten-person squad to three brand leaders to act together.

Moreover, when they encountered Chen Xian's scouts, these Mongolian scouts no longer dared to rush head-on, and they often stopped at a distance of 100 meters and shot Chen Xian's cavalry 100 meters away with light arrows.

Over the years, the manufacturing methods of arquebuses and three-eyed guns have inevitably spread.

Chen Xian realized very early on that it was impossible for him to stop the outflow of arquebuses, tens of thousands of guns were sent to soldiers, some were lost, some were lost in battle, some were lost without being found, and some were missing along with soldiers and guns, and over the years, at least hundreds of arquebuses were lost.

When Chen Xian first knew that someone outside had begun to imitate arquebuses, he thought that the technology of his factory had spread out.

But when he got his hands on the first imitation arquebus, he knew that the technology had probably not leaked out of his factory, but that there were craftsmen outside who had deciphered the method of making this simple musket based on the arquebuses he had lost.

The reason is simple, the seal behind the barrel of the imitation arquebus outside is not rose, but a direct hot forging welded seal.

When the arquebus was first manufactured, Chen Xian drilled the tip of the horn, and had to use bolts as the rear end of the barrel to seal according to the data drawings.

When imitation arquebuses first appeared, the technology of making arquebuses soon spread and became popular among the Jin army and the landlord Haoqiang army in North China.

This is also the reason why Chen Xian would easily sell the production technology of arquebuses to the Song people.

So, this was not the first time the Mongols had seen arquebuses, in fact, as a new military organization, they had a great interest and sensitivity to new weapons.

The Mongols knew for a long time the fact that the musket was a hundred meters away, and the target dropped sharply.

Therefore, it is not surprising that they would make a tactic of shooting Chen Xian's light cavalry with muskets at a distance of 100 meters.

In the face of this tactic of the Mongols, Chen Xian's reconnaissance light cavalry turned around and left, and did not entangle.

They would lead the Mongol scouts all the way back to the place where the horse infantry was ambushed.

In the process of luring the enemy, the light cavalry would notify the ambushed horse infantry by firing their guns a mile away.

As a result, the pursuing Mongol cavalry was inevitably shot black by the horse infantry.

After suffering a lot of losses, the Mongolian cavalry was much more cautious when chasing and killing Chen Xian's cavalry, and as long as they saw a place where they could ambush people, they would stop and not pursue.

In this way, the pressure on Chen Xian's reconnaissance cavalry suddenly became lighter......

In this repeated entanglement of the scouts, Chen Xian's army and Mu Huali's army inevitably met.

The two sides stopped at a distance of more than 10 kilometers and set up camp.

Compared with the hundreds of thousands of troops in the joint camp more than ten miles on the opposite side, the camp of the 60,000 army (with 20,000 militia serving as auxiliaries) on Chen Xian's side is a bit thin.

Set up the camp, both sides buried the pot to cook, the auxiliary soldiers guarded the camp, and the regular army seized the time to rest.

Early the next morning, the two sides drove out of the camp together, lined up in front of their respective camps, and slowly pushed towards each other.

When the distance between the two sides approached more than two miles, Chen Xian waved the handsome flag and ordered the whole army to stop advancing.

The commander on the opposite side was obviously a little surprised, and they also stopped advancing for a while, but then they blew their horns again and continued to advance.

Chen Xian stood on the watchtower more than ten meters high, observing the enemy troops rolling on the opposite side; At his feet, the 1st and 2nd Brigades, six regiments, and twenty-four battalions, with battalions as units, were discharged in two rows in front and behind, a large horizontal platoon of twelve battalion-sized phalanxes.

Hundreds of horse-drawn artillery carts lined up on the left side of the infantry array, slowly moving forward with the infantry array.

When the infantry array stopped, the artillerymen turned the wagons and pointed the muzzles of the cannons forward, and then the artillerymen unloaded the wagons, unloaded the horses, and pushed the wagons into the gaps in the carts, which were convenient for fetching ammunition and could serve as temporary fortifications.

The gunners quickly set up the cannons, and the artillery guards unloaded the detachable rejecting horses from the carriage, quickly assembled them, and soon placed a dense row of combined repulsors more than ten meters in front of the cannon.

To the left of the artillery position, a column of eight battalions of shock cavalry.

Behind the artillery array, there were four rows of horse infantry, they were on high horses, with a wide field of vision, and if the enemy's cavalry attacked the artillery position, they would take turns to shoot at the enemy and protect the artillery.

The remaining horse infantry, as a reserve, in company units, lined up in columns, a position more than a hundred meters behind the artillery, waiting for orders.

On the opposite side, the Mongol Han servant army formed a huge phalanx, and the depth of their phalanx was extremely large, far deeper than the two battalions in front and behind Chen Xian, which only had a dozen platoons in depth.

In the front row of the opposite phalanx is a row of sword players, behind the knife players are seven or eight rows of deep pikemen, and behind the pikemen are crossbowmen with greater depth.

Although the depth of the opposite phalanx is much larger than that of Chen Xian's side, because the number of people on the other side is far greater than Chen Xian's, the width of the military array above is basically similar.

The left flank of the phalanx is the cavalry unit of the Han servant army, these cavalry units are divided into two parts, the small part is only more than 1,000 people, close to the infantry square array, these cavalry are riding high-headed horses, both men and horses are wearing impermeable iron armor, like iron towers, they are iron floats equipped with people and horses.

On the left side of Tiefutu, there are about five or six thousand people wearing armor, and the horses are not wearing armor, that is, the abducted horses that are commonly called by the Jin people.

The Mongol cavalry did not line up with their Han servants, but waited for an opportunity about a mile behind the servant army's main array.

On the right flank of the infantry phalanx, there was a row of about thirty carriages, and behind the carriages were also dragged a cart similar to Chen Xian's artillery carriage, on which drove a cart of black iron cannons.

Through the telescope, Chen Xian found that these iron cannons were all bound by dense iron hoops.

This kind of cannon is a cannon cast by the cannon casting technology that spread out from the hands of the Jin court after Wanyan Pingtao dedicated his imitation cannon to the Jin court.

The size of this cannon looks similar to Chen Xian's seven-pound cannon, but in fact, the caliber is only equivalent to more than a catty cannon, and both the range and power are far from being comparable to Chen Xian's bronze cannon.

After observing for a while, Chen Xian sent an order to the artillery position, and the first priority target of the artillery was the opponent's artillery.
