128 Battle of Song and Mongolia (II)

The front row of the Song and Mongolian armies were about to meet, and the Mongol soldiers all hung their bows and arrows, clenched their swords and guns, and only waited for the Song army to face each other head-on.

At this moment, among the five or six squads at the forefront of the Song army, ten Sheren fired bows and arrows, and ten Shemen fired short crossbows, and first launched an attack on the Mongol army. Because the two sides were only about 20 paces away at this time, at such a close distance, the Song army almost missed the arrows, and the Mongol army was caught off guard and was shot down a large platoon at once.

After firing the bows and arrows, the Song crossbowmen immediately retreated, and the cavalry and pikemen immediately rushed forward to meet the Mongols. The whole process was completed almost instantly, the Mongolian army had just been shot down in a row, and the Mongolian soldiers behind had not yet reacted, the cavalry of the Song army was killed immediately, and many people of the Mongolian army who were in a hurry were knocked off their horses by the Song army; Then the pikemen followed another burst of punctures; Waiting for them were the crossbowmen who had reloaded their bows and arrows.

The Mongol army had never seen such a tactic, and they were not adapted, and they were beaten all at once, and countless people were killed and wounded. The Song army has always maintained a single squad operation, cooperating with each other, even if some squads are broken up at the beginning, they will immediately merge into other squads and continue to fight.

The battle lasted for more than half an hour, and the Mongol army gradually became a little overwhelmed, not only because of this unfamiliar tactic, but also because there was an important reason, that is, the Mongol army was only 5,000 men, while the Song army had 8,000 men. Therefore, Temujin immediately ordered Heqier and Belgutai to lead another 5,000 men and horses to support the Mongol army on the left and right flanks.

At this time, Yang Yan was in the Song army's formation, and when he saw the Mongol army increasing troops on both wings, he immediately issued a new command.

The horn in the Song army's formation sounded again, and after the infantry knife formation in the front row heard the sound of the horn, they immediately merged the array and made way for a wide passage. And Zhao Yueru took the lead, leading Wei Jiao and Wu Xi, two generals, and 5,000 armored cavalry, passing through the infantry knife formation, rushing towards the middle of the Mongolian army, followed by 5,000 light cavalry and 10,000 infantry. After the Song army's middle men and horses were dispatched, the remaining infantry on both wings also joined the battle group. After the hoplites in the center rearranged their formations, they also began to advance in order.

When Temujin saw it, he immediately understood the intention of the Song army, because the Mongol army increased its troops on both flanks and weakened the strength of the middle route, so the Song army launched an attack on the middle road, apparently intending to fight the Mongol army in a decisive battle here.

At this time, the Mongol army still had more than 37,000 horses left, and Temujin immediately ordered Jochi to lead Chagatai, Ogedai and Tulei, and lead 20,000 horses to meet the Song army.

This time it was the main forces of the two sides that met, and a fierce battle immediately began.

The first to meet the Mongol army was the vanguard of the 5,000 armored cavalry led by Zhao Yueru. Zhao Yueru took the lead, the dragon stick was opened, the left and right bows were opened, and the Mongolian soldiers who only rushed to the front were shot down by her, and then the horse danced with the stick, and entered the Mongolian army formation, the stick unfolded, only to hit the Mongolian soldiers one after another, and the other Song troops also followed her, and the Mongolian army started a fierce battle.

After several years of training and combat tempering, the Song cavalry became an army with strong combat effectiveness. Although on the equestrian skill, compared with the Mongolian soldiers who grew up on horses since childhood, they are still inferior, in this kind of head-on encounter, the advantages of the combination of Mongolian cavalry and archery skills can not be brought into play, and the Song army is armored cavalry, the Mongolian army is light cavalry, and the war horses used by the Song army are also horses produced in the original Western Xia region, the size is much larger than that of Mongolian horses, although the long-distance endurance is not as good as that of Mongolian horses, but short-distance sprints are stronger than Mongolian horses. Therefore, the two sides hedged each other, and the Song army undoubtedly took advantage of it.

Therefore, although the Song army only had 5,000 men and horses, it was forced to enter the Mongolian army, and although Jochi and the other four brothers tried their best to resist, they could not stop the Song army's assault. Let the Song army tear a big hole in the Mongolian army's formation, and then the rear team of the Song army also joined the battle group, and followed the gap torn by the vanguard troops, constantly expanding the gap.

Jochi knew that if Ren Yong's Song army continued to assault like this, the Mongol army would be torn in half by the Song army, so he also urged the horse to dance the knife and catch up to meet Zhao Yueru. And Chagatai and Wokotai both know Zhao Yueru, and know that although she is a woman, she is brave and good at fighting, not inferior to men at all, and she is afraid that her brother will be defeated, so they both caught up to help in the battle.

So the three brothers surrounded Zhao Yueru and fought fiercely, so as to avoid a strong enemy against Zhao Yueru. But the assault of the Song army did not stop, and under the leadership of Wei Jiao and Wu Xi, they bypassed their battle group and continued to rush forward to kill. The Mongol army was still unable to resist the Song army's attack.

At this moment, Temujin decisively gave the order to retreat.

Of course, this retreat did not mean that the Mongol army had really given up on the battle, but a habitual tactic of the Mongol army, using retreat to induce the enemy to pursue, dragging the enemy's formation, and in the retreat, using their skilled cavalry and archery skills to attack the enemy while retreating. When the enemy noticed that something was wrong and stopped the pursuit and returned, the Mongols turned around and pursued in turn. If the enemy does not pursue, then the Mongol army will immediately regroup after leaving the battlefield and fight the opponent again. Therefore, when the battlefield is in a difficult situation, or when it is all in a difficult situation, the Mongol army will often use retreat tactics to achieve the result of turning defeat into victory.

After the fierce battle just now, Temujin also realized that although in terms of individual combat effectiveness, the Mongol soldiers were sure to be superior to the Song soldiers, but this gap was not large, and the Song soldiers' superiority in assembly could be completely compensated. Therefore, the order to retreat was ordered, and now it is also the last move of the Mongol army.

After the horn of withdrawal was sounded, the Mongol army also left the battlefield one after another, pulled out the horse's head, and ran backwards.

But at this moment, Temujin suddenly discovered that on the outside of the battlefield, there was a cavalry of the Song army, and they rushed back to the two wings of the Mongols.

In fact, there were 7,000 cavalry on each wing of the Song army, but only so far, the Song army has only used 4,000 cavalry, and there are always 3,000 cavalry. If the Mongol army had not withdrawn at this time, the Song army might have really returned to the rear of the Mongol army.

When Temujin saw it, he was not surprised, a wide range of detours and over-the-top were exactly the tactics that the Mongol army was best at, and now it was fully learned by the Song army. After the Mongol army had all turned around, the Song army on both sides of the detour was almost on par with the Mongol army. And it is gradually squeezing over like the Mongol army. If you look down from the air, you can clearly see that at this time, the Song army formed a huge crescent moon shape with the scriptures, half-surrounding the entire Mongolian army, and the crescent mouth is slowly shrinking and closing Longlong, as if it is like a giant beast with a big mouth open, about to swallow the Mongolian army in one gulp.

Now the Mongol army does not talk about what retreat tactics it uses, and it is a victory to save the defeat, and if it is not good, it will be driven to the front by the Song army, block the way, and be completely surrounded by the Song army. Therefore, Temujin also immediately ordered that the whole army should retreat quickly, and it must escape from the encirclement of the Song army slowly merging with Long. And the Song army on both flanks also rushed to the front, hoping to rush to the front of the Mongol army and stop the Mongol army.

At this time, the front army of the Mongol army was only a dozen steps ahead of the Song army, and most of the troops behind were still in the semi-encirclement of the Song army, and the two armies were also competing for horses and galloping, and they did not want to be a step behind. However, the Mongol army was a people who grew up on horseback, and while desperately beating horses and escaping, they also fired arrows like the Song army that had outflanked them on their side.

The Song army also did not show weakness, and immediately launched a counterattack against the Mongol army. Although the Song army's cavalry and archery ability was inferior to that of the Mongol army, the 3,000 Song troops who were outflanked from both sides used all Mahuang crossbows that could be fired continuously.

At this time, the horn sounded in the rear of the Song army, and the Song army on both sides heard the horn and quickly adjusted its direction, not seeking to catch up with the front line of the Mongolian army, but quickly leaning towards the middle and penetrating the two ribs of the Mongolian army.

It turned out that Yang Yan saw that although in the short sprint, the Mongolian war horses were not as good as the war horses of the Song army, but after all, the infantry army accounted for most of the Song army, and the Song army could not catch up in front of the Mongolian army, and the infantry army would be disconnected from the battlefield, so he could only give up the tempting idea of encircling the Mongolian army, and immediately insert it from the waist of the Mongolian army.

Sure enough, after the two wings of the Song army were inserted into the ribs of the Mongol army, except for the more than 10,000 men and horses who fled in the vanguard, the remaining more than 40,000 Mongol troops were all cut off by the Song army and had to stop.

The men and horses pursuing behind the Song army immediately caught up, and Zhao Yueru also led the armored cavalry army to rush in from the rear of the Mongol army. The Mongolian cavalry could not resist the armored cavalry of the Song army, but now the Song army was killed from behind, and they could not stop it, and they were killed by the Song army into their own formation. And Liu Fuwu and Liu Renxian also led the cavalry to catch up and attack from the diagonal rear of the Mongol army.

Under the attack of the Song army, the Mongol army immediately became chaotic, some pulled out their horses and turned back to meet the battle, some continued to flee, and some fled to find the gap in the Song army's encirclement, and finally evolved from an organized and orderly retreat to a rout.

Fortunately, at this time, the front of the Mongol army, which had escaped from the encirclement of the Song army, was reorganized by Temujin, reorganized its men and horses, and killed it again, which can be regarded as breaking through the encirclement of the Song army and enabling most of the Mongol army to escape from the encirclement.

But all Temujin could do at this time was to minimize the losses of the Mongol army, and the defeat of the Mongol army was irreparable.
