Chapter 270: Bright Blade

On the opposite side, the horn of the Yuan army sounded for a long time, and the drums shook the sky, as if the boundless military array began to slowly split, move, and assemble with the flags of different colors and different levels of flags, recognition flags, and waist flags.

According to the command process of this era, when the enemy army attacked, the first thing was to scout and wait and see, inspect the enemy's banner, number, equipment, formation, etc., and then quickly report to the commander or chief general of the Chinese army, so that the Chinese army could quickly come up with countermeasures and assign corresponding troops to meet the enemy.

But Zhao Lie, who has a clairvoyant mirror in hand, and his staff officers in praise of the painting department, don't need to be so troublesome at all. As soon as the banner of the Yuan army moved, they saw it clearly on the nest car; Which army formation came out of the formation, and which general led the army to fight, you can see it all. Combined with the intelligence of the Yuan army collected by the Zanhua Office, the enemy situation was quickly determined, and the insight was like watching the fire. At this time, the four main attacking formations of the Yuan army had not yet been assembled.

"20,000 yuan army, and all of them are new annexes. A total of four generals commanded the battle, namely Qian Rong, Wu Jiming, Liang Xiongfei, and Liu Jun, all four of whom were rebel generals. Jiang Fenglie put the information collected by the four generals collected by the Praise Painting Office to the imperial case in front of Zhao Lie, "Rebel generals, it seems that Boyan will not die if he tests the heart of our army." ”

Zhao Lie stretched out his hand to Jiang Fenglie: "The sword is coming." ”

Jiang Fenglie didn't know what he meant, but he didn't dare to disobey the order, took off the sheathed sword at his waist, and offered it with both hands.

Zhao Lie drew his sword and thrust it suddenly, piercing the paper that gathered the information of the four generals: "It's time to surrender the rebellion, thinking that the rebels who have no society, no father, and no people have quit!" He threw the sword at Jiang Fenglie casually, "Since Boyan wants to see it so much, let him see it clearly and understand, and let him see it in despair - Shi Yi, go, coordinate the four armies, face the attack, and brighten the eyes of the blind Boyan!" ”

"Obey the order!" Jiang Fenglie raised his hand to take the sword, raised his hand, crumpled the pile of papers, shook his hand, turned around and strode away.

The stabbing action of the two monarchs and ministers announced the fate of the four rebel generals of Qian, Wu, Liang, and Liu. As for Boyan's so-called temptation, in Zhao Lie's opinion, it was even more a move to take off his pants and fart, the peerless blade of the Dragon Bird Army was hidden in the box, and it was not pulled out for a few months, waiting for the moment of the decisive battle between the two armies. When this moment comes, no matter how many soldiers and horses Boyan sends, whether they are elite or not, what awaits them is the "slash against the wind" of the peerless divine soldier of the Dragon Bird Army - a temptation is a knife, and not trying is also a knife.

The big army is flying, the fierce horses are galloping, and the handsome flag of the word "Jiang" is moved from the Chinese army to the front army. As Jiang Fenglie entered the battle, one after another orders were issued, ordering the small colonel to fly out in all directions, and the four armies were each given orders.

As soon as the drums of the Chinese army sounded, only the artillery array of the front army stood still, and the remaining four formations began to move forward, and the 7,000 army moved forward with a bang, and the whole moved forward.

The front right side of the front army was originally an artillery position, and the 7,000-strong army roared forward, but in just half a moment, it overtook the artillery position and stopped horizontally in front of the formation. At the same time, the 500 cavalry on the right flank also advanced to the right side of the artillery position, and the cavalry army firmly protected the front and flank of the artillery position. The Yuan army did not break through the wings of this cavalry army, and did not want to storm the artillery array.

With a golden sound, the front army was established, and the seven thousand dragon sparrow army formed a super-large skirmish front and rear line with a length of three miles and eight rows in front and back. Among the 7,000 dragon sparrows, there were 5,000 musketeers, accounting for nearly eighty percent, arranged in six columns, each with 800 guns; 1,000 guns and 1,000 swords and axes, divided into two rows, lined up at the back of the formation. At the end of the big array, there were Jiang Fenglie, Shi Yang, Chang Tai, Shen Pingbo and other generals and a team of five hundred governors.

"The Dragon Bird Army has finally moved, and it will shake me with 7,000 and 20,000, and it really has the courage, and see what means this gun and cannon army has." Boyan was very satisfied with the reaction of the Song people, and then looked at the 20,000 yuan army to attack, these Yuan troops almost did not wear armor (in fact, there was no armor, the new annexed army), but more than half of them had heavy infantry side cards, and the remaining half of the unlicensed ones were all crossbowmen.

Defend with side cards, attack from a distance with a bow and crossbow, approach with the fastest speed, and fight hand-to-hand. This is the method of battle of the Yuan army against the Dragon Bird Army.

Seeing the Dragon Bird Army unfolding the formation from a distance, the generals of the Yuan Army who watched the battle on the hill were all surprised.

The instigator was puzzled: "What kind of formation is this of the Dragon Bird Army?" If it is so scattered and loosely arranged, won't it collapse in one rush...... What are the Song people doing? ”

In this era, the tighter the military array, the thicker the array layers, the better the impact resistance, how can there be such a loose line like the Dragon Bird Army, or even so loose between soldiers? Isn't this self-defeating?

Baijianu said excitedly: "It doesn't matter what he wants to do, the Song people are arranging like this is tantamount to asking for their own death." They only have 2,000 melee soldiers, while we have tens of thousands, as long as our soldiers withstand the musket bombardment and approach quickly, within ten paces, we will definitely defeat the Song army! ”

Although Boyan wondered why the Dragon Sparrow Army had exposed such a big flaw, he couldn't figure out what the benefit of doing so was. Lure the enemy? So the suspicious array? But Baijianu is right, no matter what the Song people have in mind, as long as the 20,000 army is within ten steps, no matter how strong the Longque army is, it will be defeated.

Boyan summoned a hundred slaves, took a golden arrow from the quiver of the iron case, and handed it to him: "You hold this golden arrow, and lead 800 Mongolian horsemen to supervise the battle." Below 10,000 households include 10,000 households, but there are retrospectives, chop! There is a spinner, slash! ”

Baijianu suddenly became excited, strode forward to take the golden arrow, and his eyes were red, like a bloodthirsty beast.

Less leaning, the rear formation of the Yuan army hundreds of horses rolled, the iron hooves roared, and the thunderous roar of the hundred slaves resounded over the big array: "Beat the drum, rush in." ”

Knock knock knock!

The drums sounded, but it was more like a devastating ......

Looking down from the sky, you can see that the 20,000 yuan army formed four sharp arrow formations, the front two and the back two, each other is horns, the front is sharp and the back is abundant, such as arrows such as cones, under the urging of the drums, the fierce shot towards the dragon bird army.

And the Seven Thousand Dragon Sparrow Army stood still, as if it had solidified a reef for thousands of years, facing the raging tide as if it were idle.

At this time, the armies of both sides went up to the commander and down to the ordinary soldiers, and everyone's eyes were focused on the red flag planted in the center of the battlefield - that was the land of an arrow, and crossing this flag meant that the attack began.

The advance of the Yuan army rushed fifty steps closer to the red flag, and the eight hundred musketeers in the front row of the Dragon Bird Army squatted down and raised their guns to aim; Two rows of eight hundred musketeers stood upright, with their guns raised and shoulder-flat; Three rows of eight hundred musketeers, carrying guns on their shoulders. The last five rows of dragon sparrow sergeants are like a rock.

The forward of the Yuan army rushed close to the red flag thirty steps, nearly 10,000 crossbowmen began to draw their bows and arrows, and the entire Yuan army array sounded a dense "creaking" sound, and the dense arrows pointed obliquely at the sky, reflecting a little bit of edge, which was terrifying.

The advance of the Yuan army rushed twenty steps closer to the red flag. The general of the Yuan army who was watching the battle on the hill in the rear showed a smile on his face, twenty steps, but only ten breaths, and after ten breaths, tens of thousands of arrows would cover half of the Dragon Bird Army's array. With the thinness of the Dragon Sparrow Army's array, after a maximum of twenty breaths, the arrows will cover the entire front and rear formations. The Dragon Bird Army, with absolute heavy losses...... The next moment, however, their smiles froze on their faces.

"Didi-Di-"

On either side of the Dragonbird Armament Musket Array, ten strong trumpeters blew out a long swan sound.

Before the aftermath subsided, the heavens and the earth were filled with the crackling sound of landslides and cracks, countless tongues of fire gushed out, and puffs of smoke condensed into a white dragon in front of the military array. More than 1,500 projectiles (some dumb fire), with powerful kinetic energy, tore through the air, like buzzing poisonous bees, and pounced on the vanguard of the Yuan army all over the sky......
