Wang Kui's Hanzhou soldiers met a hundred Mongolian households.

The direction of this group of 100 households was reversed, from Hezhou to Jianzhou, the scouts of the Hanzhou soldiers did not expect that there would be Mongols behind them, their attention was on the front, so these Mongolian cavalry got very close, and they were surprised.

The two sides are close enough to see each other, and in this case, there is no need to say anything, and the fight will start when they meet.

Although the scouts of the Hanzhou soldiers are all elite in the army, they suffered a big loss in the mounts, the Mongols are all double horses or three horses, and there is a surplus of horses on the march, and the Mongolian horses have strong endurance and sprint fiercely, and it is very easy to deal with the bantam horses of the Song soldiers scouts. Finding that the Song army immediately changed horses and took off their bows, shooting arrows while galloping, and shot several on the spot, and the survivors who were lucky enough to escape could only run desperately and run back to report the news.

The Mongols chased after him, and Wang Kui's mountain was discovered.

From the top of the mountain where Wang Kui is located, you can already see the smoke and dust raised by the horses galloping on the road below the mountain. Looming in the smoke and dust, the leather armor of the Mongol soldiers, the scimitars they held, shimmered like stars in the sunlight.

Condescendingly, he narrowed his eyes and instantly judged the number of Mongol soldiers.

"It's not more than a hundred, it's a team of hundreds." Wang Kui decisively ordered: "Set up a spear formation on the hillside, and the archers will be in the rear, and defeat this gang of donkeys!" ”

The generals promised to carry out his orders quickly. The Hanzhou soldiers climbed the mountain and camped with the intention of defense, at this time, according to the order, they set up a formation to defend against the enemy, and the soldiers with the long shield were on the mountainside, and set up an arc-shaped shield wall, and the spearmen were behind the cat's waist, and the long gun shaft was stretched out of the wall, looking up from below, just like a row of gun carts standing on the mountainside.

The establishment of the Song army, archers and crossbowmen occupy a large part of the number of troops, some extreme generals under the command, and even two-thirds of the establishment are reserved for crossbowmen, when the whole son went north to recover Kaifeng, the army of 20,000 people has 15,000 strong crossbow army, which shows the importance of the Song army to long-range shooters.

The Hanzhou soldiers were no exception, among Wang Kui's more than 1,000 people, there were two hundred and fifty crossbowmen and one hundred archers, who swarmed down, squatting behind the pikemen, looking at the smoke and dust that was getting closer and closer down the mountain to draw arrows and arrows.

The Mongol soldiers who pursued the Song army scouts came out of the smoke and dust, and the last backward Song soldier was shot in the back by several arrows, and fell headlong at the foot of the mountain without humming, and the Mongols shouted to catch up, and were about to go down with a knife to cut off their ears, and when they looked up, they found the Hanzhou soldiers on the mountain.

They were still out of range, the Song soldiers did not shoot arrows, and of course the Mongol arrows could not shoot at this distance.

The Mongol army of the brigade followed, and it could be seen that they were very excited to meet the Song army here, and many cavalry wandered down the hill, boldly advancing to the limit of the range of the bow and crossbow to peep.

More cavalry gathered a little farther away and inspected the armament in whole formations.

In the middle of the crowd, the centurion was speaking to a young Mongol.

"Prince, please wait a moment, my son-in-law will be able to deal with this group of Song Jun soon." He had a courteous smile on his face, but he said arrogant words, and from time to time he glanced at the banner of the Song army on the top of the mountain: "I didn't expect to meet a large group of Song troops here, but I delayed the prince's trip." ”

"It doesn't matter." Kublai Khan waved his hand and didn't care: "On the march to fight, how can there be no accident, give you time to burn two incense sticks, and slaughter this mountain." ”

"It won't be that long." Ba Ling said with a smile: "A stick of incense is enough." ”

He rode forward, came to the front of the whole group of cavalrymen, and shouted: "Half of the men dismount and prepare to climb the mountain and fight on foot, and the other half of them ride their horses and open their bows, and release arrows three times in the back and forth of the past, at least five arrows per person, and then dismount and then climb the mountain!" ”

"Prince Kublai Khan is here with us, everyone must move forward bravely, and must not slack off, I have fallen into my reputation for pulling out the edges, and I have skinned him!"

The hundred-man team screamed in response, raised the weapon in their hands, and shouted loudly.

Half of the men jumped off their horses and rushed towards the hill in a loose formation, while the other half urged their horses forward, overtaking those on foot, drawing their bows and arrows, aiming at the Song army on the mountainside.

Kublai Khan and some of his guards stayed in the distance in the rear, watching easily, this kind of scene was often encountered before, and when the Song army dared to fight with the Mongols in the field, the attack on the mountain had happened more than once.

Under normal circumstances, the rain of arrows fired by the cavalry in close proximity was enough to destroy the fighting spirit of the Song army, and the infantry went up to expand the results of the battle and end the battle.

He passed by here, and he went back to the Khan Court to return to Wokotai, and since he met the Song army, he would not delay too long if he cleaned it up.

Someone handed him a bag of water, and Kublai Khan took it and drank it in large gulps.

In the battle ahead, the first arrow was released.

The whizzing Mongol cavalry galloped past the foot of the mountain with a cloud of dust that could almost obscure their figures, and the wolf's tooth arrows in their hands and the crossbows of the Song army on the mountain were released almost simultaneously, and the two waves of arrows rained in the air like water droplets.

The Mongol army fired from the top, and the Song army shot from the bottom.

Logically speaking, the Song army had the advantage of terrain.

The result is embarrassing.

The Mongols' arrows, with their dazzling marksmanship, flew over the shield walls, flew over the heads of the gunners, and shot straight into the formation of the crossbowmen, each with a threat and every casualty.

The arrows of the Song army always seemed to be a beat slower, and most of them fell behind the horse's buttocks, and few of them hit the Mongolian soldiers, but the Mongolian soldiers were good at dodging, and after shooting the arrows, their whole bodies shrank on the horse's back, and even if they were lucky, they did not hit the vital point.

The strength or weakness of individual soldiers' military qualities was undoubtedly revealed from this short wave of counter-shooting.

The Mongol cavalry galloped over the front, spun around in front of it, and quickly turned back again.

At this time, the bow and crossbow array of the Hanzhou soldiers who were shot chaotically was panicked, many people were shot, fell to the ground and screamed, some people went to treatment, and there were not many soldiers who could immediately react to the Mongols' actions of going and returning.

The officers were shouting and shouting angrily to order to continue firing their bows, and in the midst of their scolding, the second wave of Mongol arrows arrived.

The interval between two shots is no more than a few breaths.

It was another slaughter, the crossbowmen who had no heavy armor protection and were only wearing cloth armor were easily shot by their opponents and had no power to fight back, and the three hundred and five against fifty shots actually ended in a one-sided end.

When the third wave of arrows pierced the sky with a screaming sound, the crossbowmen of the Hanzhou soldiers had been completely suppressed, and there were almost a handful of them who could stand and shoot back.

The pikemen hiding behind the shield wall were ordered by the officers not to turn back, and it was hard to say that they would not be shaken if they saw the terrible image of their comrades being shot behind them.

The Mongolian foot soldiers at the foot of the mountain were already close to a distance of several zhang, and from the gap in the shield wall, the swaying Mongolian leather helmet was close in front of them.

"Kill!"

The Mongol soldiers, who abandoned their horses and climbed the mountain, shouted arrogant slogans, stared at reddened eyes, and smashed their spears and maces into the spear formation.
