The Song and Mongol armies were arrayed in a flat field on the north bank of the Wenyu River. ，。

At this time, the 65,000 Song army was backed by the Wenyu River and lined up in formation. The Song army consisted of 25,000 cavalry and 40,000 infantry troops, including 5,000 armored cavalry. The number of cavalry troops reached nearly four of the whole army, and the proportion of the cavalry was quite high.

At the forefront of the whole army, the sword formation composed of 5,000 heavy armored infantry spread out horizontally but reached 500 shepa, divided into ten columns, covering almost the entire array of the Song army. At the rear of the infantry sword formation was a central army consisting of 5,000 armored cavalry, 6,000 light cavalry, and 15,000 infantry. On each side of the Song army, there were 7,000 cavalry and 10,000 infantry, which were located behind the infantry knife formation. It is also within the protection of the infantry sword formation, but when the battle begins, you can also kill from both sides of the infantry knife formation at any time to fight the enemy.

In contrast, the Mongol formation was a little looser, because the Mongols were all-cavalry, so the formation was not very important to the Mongol army. At the same time, Tetsu was very satisfied with the terrain here, because the flat terrain was conducive to the performance of the Mongol cavalry, so he was also full of confidence in victory. And behind him, 60,000 Mongolian iron horsemen were all ready to serve with momentum. Just waiting for his order, he rushed to the Song army, which was five hundred paces away, and was in formation.

And Yang Yan chose this battlefield because he hoped to fight with them in the best combat environment of the Mongolian army, only in this way could he ruthlessly arouse the sharp spirit of the Mongolian army and achieve the goal of forcing the Mongolian army to withdraw automatically. However, Yang Yan also knew the field combat ability of the Mongolian army, so he deliberately chose to form a formation on his back, although it was a bit risky to arrange the formation in this way, but it also limited the range of activities of the Mongolian cavalry, and could only attack from the front. And Yang Yan also had confidence in the Song soldiers under his command that they would be able to withstand the onslaught of the Mongol cavalry [latest chapter].

In the eyes of the Khitan generals, the Song army was completely a taboo in the army, which shows that Yang Yan is just a wasted person. Although Temujin had not read the military books of the Central Plains, he also knew that if the battle was unfavorable, there would be no room for maneuver. Therefore, he immediately gave the order and launched an attack first.

I saw a team of 5,000 men from the left of the Mongolian army's array, but instead of rushing straight towards the Song army's array, it rushed diagonally to the right.

It turned out that Temujin had also seen the strength of the heavy infantry sword formation of the Song army, and knew that if he used the Mongol cavalry to rush hard, he would only suffer heavy losses, otherwise Yang Yan would not have fought against the water. Therefore, this oblique charge was used, hoping to take advantage of the Mongol army's proficient cavalry and archery to first use bows and arrows to disrupt the Song army's formation, and then attack the Song army. The Mongols fought out from the left, making an arc and then back to the right. In the area at the top of the arc, it will enter the range of bows and arrows and attack the Song army.

However, to Temujin's surprise, before the Mongol cavalry was within his range, the Song army's bows and arrows started first and launched a blow against the Mongol army.

With the sound of a series of horns in the rear of the Song army, the heavy infantry in the front line all knelt on the ground at once, and the five thousand crossbow archers in the back row stepped forward together, divided into two pulls, and took turns firing bows and arrows at the Mongolian cavalry passing in front of the Song army's array.

Because the Mongol army was an all-cavalry army, they used horse bows, and the firing range was closer than ordinary foot bows, about 70 to 80 paces, and even if they used projectiles, it was difficult to exceed 100 paces. However, the Song army used the Divine Arm Bow, with a range of about 150 paces, almost twice as much as the Mongolian Army, and after the Divine Arm Bow was modified, the ratchet was used to drive the string, and the frequency of the firing was greatly improved, almost reaching the firing speed of ordinary bows and arrows, and the Song Army was launched in two rounds. Therefore, when the Mongol army was still a long way away from its own range, the arrows shot by the Song army fell on the heads of the Mongol army like dense raindrops.

Despite the scattered Mongol army, and the rapid movement of the opposing forces, the Song army's hit rate was not very high. However, the Song army's arrow rain was too dense, and it was still able to shoot many Mongol soldiers. The warrior who was hit by the arrow fell from his horse, and was soon trampled into a mass of flesh by the horse that followed him, and could only let out a few screams. And the horse with the arrow can still rush forward a few steps with inertia, and then fall to the ground with a scream, and the master on his back also falls. There were also many war horses that were not hit by arrows, but they were trampled down by their fallen companions. For a time, the Mongolian soldiers turned over on their backs, and it was not lively.

If the Mongols were sprinting in a straight line, they would only need to resist one or two rounds of blows before they could get into their range and launch a counterattack. However, the Mongol army took a diagonal line, and the distance was nearly doubled, so in the middle of the firing range, it withstood four or five rounds of blows from the Song army. He suffered more than 10,000 feathered arrows. Even if only a tenth-of-ten hit rate was a terrible casualty, not to mention the casualties caused by trampling and stampede, the Mongol army's losses amounted to more than 1,500 men.

However, even if it came into the range of the Mongol army, the situation of the battle did not change much. Because in front of the Song army's divine arm bow, there was also an infantry sword formation, and most of the arrows shot by the Mongolian army fell into the infantry knife formation. Due to the protection of heavy armor, the Mongolian army's bow and arrow to the Song army is not very lethal, each round of fire, at most can shoot a dozen Song soldiers, even if there is a god arm archer is shot by arrows, but the number is not much, basically will not affect the Song army's arrow rain. After the Mongol army crossed the top of the arc and ran out of its own range, it was still pursued by the Song army, and lost a lot of men and horses.

Therefore, by the time all the Mongol cavalry returned to their right in this round, there were only about 2,000 men left of the 5,000 men. And the losses of the Song army were less than three hundred.

Temujin was also taken aback, and hurriedly stopped the second group of troops preparing to go into battle. The Mongolian generals present were also disillusioned, and no one thought that the battle would become like this at the beginning. In fact, they were officially fighting with the Song army for the first time, and they didn't know that what they encountered now was the problem that had given Jin Guo a headache for more than ten years, that is, the Song army's technological advantage was too great. In every engagement, there is a considerable price to be paid before the two sides engage in hand-to-hand combat.

At this time, Temujin had a faint trace of remorse in his heart, and it was not a mistake to venture into battle with the Song army. But now that Yijing has reached this point, it is impossible to stop Yijing, so I can only hold on hard. Dealing with the Song army with oblique bow and arrow tactics is tantamount to looking for death, and the heavy infantry in the Song army can't be touched hard, and it is impossible to make a detour to the rear of the Song army, but with the Wenyu River blocking the way, it is impossible.

It was only at this time that Temujin somewhat understood why Yang Yan would use such a seemingly taboo way to set up a formation. In fact, it firmly limited the advantage of the Mongolian army, forcing the Mongolian army to use only the last resort, which was to fight hard with the Song army. Although the Mongol army did not dare to attack from the middle, it was still possible to attack both sides of the Song army, but in this way, the scope of the battle on both sides was much smaller, and the troops could not be deployed, so they could only use the tactics of adding fuel and gradually increasing the number of troops, even if they won, the results would not be very large.

But now Temujin had no other way, so he had to give an order, ordering Zhebei to lead Yelu Ahai and Yelu Yuhua brothers to lead 5,000 men and horses to attack the left flank of the Song army, and Subutai to bring Shi Mo Ming'an and Shi Mo Duzhong brothers, also led 5,000 men and horses to attack the right wing of the Song army.

This time, the Mongol army attacked in a straight line, and the men and horses on both flanks rushed directly towards the Song army.

Yang Yan saw very clearly in the formation, and the pace of the battlefield was progressing step by step according to his expectations. Seeing that the Mongol army was attacking from both flanks, he immediately ordered Liu Fuwu and Liu Renxian on both flanks to lead 8,000 men and horses to attack.

In the eyes of the Mongol army, the Song army's men and horses were very strange, it is said that the Song army had 7,000 cavalry troops on each wing, and it was completely possible to send out a full cavalry army to meet the Mongolian army, but the 8,000 men and horses on the two wings of the Song army were composed of 2,000 cavalry and 6,000 infantry, and the cavalry and infantry were mixed together. Although the Mongol army now also has infantry troops, the cavalry and infantry will still be used separately on the battlefield, even if the infantry cavalry sometimes fights together, the cavalry is in front and the infantry is behind, and it is still necessary to strictly distinguish between them. Because the cavalry and the infantry army are together, it will only slow down the speed of the cavalry. Therefore, the Song army's combat method of mixing cavalry and infantry troops was naturally incomprehensible to the Mongol army.

However, Temujin never dared to underestimate Song Jun this time, and he absolutely believed that Song Jun must have a reason to do this. Therefore, he stared at Song Jun intently to see what tricks he could play.

I saw that before the men and horses of the two sides met, the men and horses of the Song army quickly dispersed and formed independent squads, each with 80 to 100 people, including 20 to 30 cavalry and 60 to 70 infantry troops.

If Guo Baoyu was present at this time, he would definitely be able to see that the Song army was using the "Star Scattering Array", and the Mongolian generals all understood what they meant

Because there is a great asymmetry in the information between the two sides, Yang Yan has been to Mongolia, and has also participated in several major battles of the Mongolian army, and has a considerable understanding of the tactics of the Mongolian army.

Although it has been three or four years, the tactics of the Mongolian army have not changed much, so Yang Yan is all targeted today, restricting the speed and flexibility of the Mongolian cavalry, and using the divine arm bow to restrain the Mongolian army's cavalry, forcing the Mongolian army to attack the Song army. The two sides fought hard head-on.

The Mongol army basically knew nothing about the tactics of the Song army, so it was passive step by step and was completely led by the nose by the Song army.
