On the seventh day of August, the scorching sun was in the sky, and the two armies of the Song and Yuan dynasties fought a decisive battle in western Fujian.

After more than two months of testing, attrition and repeated tug-of-war, the patience of both sides has reached the limit, and neither can afford to delay.

The Yuan army was unstable in the north, and the khanates were eyeing each other, and Boyan, the needle of the sea god, must not be bound in the south for a long time. Once autumn comes, when the horses are fat and the grass grows, and the strings move and the eagles fly, no matter what the situation in the south is, Boyan will definitely be recalled to Dadu, the important town and the forest.

At the beginning of Boyan's southward journey, he asked Kublai Khan for a cowardly Xue army, and even led an army of 200,000 into western Fujian with great momentum, and fought with hundreds of thousands of Song troops led by the Song lord for several months. If there is no decent decisive battle, he will not have the face to return to the north at all. In fact, Boyan wanted to start this decisive battle as early as a month ago, but was interrupted by a sudden storm. After the storm, Boyan planned to wait for the return artillery to be in place to fight against the artillery of the Song army - there was no big guy in his hand, and Boyan was not sure.

However, he never expected that dozens of Song army sentry agents would cripple his transport team, and fifty return guns were burned.

It is very difficult to manufacture the return cannon, which has high requirements for materials and technology, and is more time-consuming and laborious to build, and it is heavy and cumbersome, and it is difficult to transport. Therefore, after the first battle of Xiangyang, the Yuan army rarely used this cannon after attacking the city and conquering the city.

These return artillery were all transported from Xiangyang thousands of miles away, and they were all "heroes" who conquered Xiangyang that year. There were hundreds of return guns that conquered Xiangyang that year, but after all these years, many of them were unusable, and only 50 were intact. Boyan originally wanted these "heroes" to make new contributions and bombard the Song army's artillery, but he didn't expect to see the god of fire before the artillery was seen......

The "big guy" is gone, this big battle still has to be fought, and today, Boyan has no way to retreat, no matter whether there is a chance of winning or not, it is imperative for the two armies to face off.

On the side of the Song army, the supply of grain, grass, military supplies and other supplies was also quite tight, and the land route was cut off, and it all relied on sea. In July and August, typhoon-prone seasons are frequent, ships are frequently suspended, shipping is intermittent, and the supply of the army is difficult to continue.

At this time, nearly 10,000 iron cavalry of the left route army of the Yuan army had also been killed under the city of Zhangpu. Wen Tianxiang, Zhang Shijie, Mrs. Xu and other southern Fujian generals have rushed to the Liangshan camp and commanded 100,000 She troops to resist the Yuan army. Zhao Lie did not expect them to be able to repel the Yuan army's iron cavalry, but only asked that they could block this Yuan army for ten days to ensure the safety of the army's rear road, so as to defeat the main force of the Yuan army with all their might.

On the 10th, Zhao Lie set a deadline to defeat the 200,000 yuan army.

Under the strong will of the commanders of the two armies and hundreds of thousands of troops, the decisive battle began.

In the early morning of the seventh day of the first lunar month, before the sky was bright, the camps of the two armies were already noisy and thunderous, and the fires were lit, like stars. This is the army burying the pot and cooking, repairing and recuperating, preparing for a decisive battle. As soon as the sky dawned, the camp gate was wide open, and the cavalry of the Song and Yuan armies rushed out of the bridge to carry out pre-battle preparations such as battlefield early warning and flag planting.

At the beginning of the morning, the drums and horns sounded in unison, the flags were like a forest, the sound of "ten thousand victories" was thunderous, the gate was wide open, and the two armies swore to fight.

The Song army poured out, and the Song lord Zhao Hunting drove the expedition in person, commanding 10,000 dragon bird troops, 20,000 southern Fujian troops and 7,000 Guangnan troops, a total of 37,000 men and horses, to meet the main force of the Yuan army. Among the more than 30,000 horses, only 25,000 soldiers were actually deployed to meet the enemy, and the remaining more than 10,000 were non-combatants such as medical workers, craftsmen, veterinarians, and auxiliary soldiers. They will be responsible for first aiding the wounded, repairing weapons, transporting heavy weapons, preparing meals, etc., so as to provide various logistical support for the battle.

The 25,000 soldiers of the Song army, except for about 2,000 men and horses from the three special forces of the martial arts team, the Yanling team, and the Beiwei army, the remaining 23,000 infantry were listed as five formations.

The formation is divided into five flowers, which is for the five armies, namely the front army, the rear army, the left army, the right army, and the middle army; The flowers are divided into five colors, red, white, soap, gray and yellow. Each color sets up a general flag, which is for the five generals, that is, the five major commanders.

The former army was the main force of the Dragon Bird Army, and it merged the Xuanfeng Army, the Youyi Army, the Tabai Army, and the artillery battalion directly under it, with a total strength of about 8,000. The 8,000-front army was divided into five more formations, which were commanded by the left general Chang Tai, the right general Shen Pingbo, the deputy generals Hong Siniang and Wan Zhong, and the artillery general Hu Yanxiao, and the commander Shi Yang. All the soldiers were dressed in red and half-armor, with iron helmets on their heads, and under the sky, the red hats were like blood flowers, spreading endlessly.

The most shocking thing was the eight dragon roar cannons lined up in front of the formation. Although the gun jacket has not yet been removed, the long barrel that reaches into the sky, the heavy and huge iron wheels of the gun carriage, and the ammunition boxes stacked high on both sides...... All of them show a terrifying mechanical power.

The rear army was Li Zifa and Huang Xian's Guangnan Army, with about 4,000 men and horses, all of whom were white and had no armor. The Guangnan Army suffered a lot of losses in the tug-of-war with the Yuan army in the first two months, and its combat strength was exhausted, and it was not easy to replenish it because it was not a local battle, so as a reserve army, it would go up again when the war was tight.

The left army is Chen Hangyan and Chen Guilong's She army, about 5,000 men and horses, the whole army is dressed in soap, half of them are wearing armor, the blades are bright, the big shield is like a wall, and the black clothes are like iron, and they are all killed. The She army participated in almost all tug-of-war battles with the Yuan army, and suffered the heaviest losses. However, they are fighting on their own soil, and there are more than 100,000 reserve troops that can be replenished at any time. Therefore, after more than two months of fighting, the number of men and horses has not decreased, but they have become stronger and stronger, and they have gained a bit of elite momentum.

The right army is Huang Hua and Luo Bantian's Toutuo army, about 6,000 men and horses, all of them are gray clothes and hair, and their heads are tied with gray belts, and many soldiers have tattoos on their faces, or animal heads, or claws, or thunder patterns, and the end is fierce. After fighting repeatedly with the Yuan army for several months, the attrition of the Toutuo army was also quite serious, but they also had a large number of second-line troops.

The Chinese army ranks behind the whole army, and the most eye-catching thing is the giant nest car with a height of five zhang in the military formation, which is the command center of the whole army. On the top of the lookout platform on the top floor of the nest car, Zhao Lie, the lord of the Song Dynasty, was dressed in bright gold armor, wearing a golden-winged double phoenix helmet and a yellow collar on his neck. The wind is blowing, the big army is flying, the five-clawed golden dragon embroidered with gold silk is like a wave, looming in the clouds and smoke, it seems that the next moment is about to break out of the clothes, and the dragon roars the world.

Behind Zhao Lie, there were more than ten generals such as Jiang Fenglie, deputy marshal of the Song Army, Ma Nanchun, staff officer, Long Feiyi, chief of the guard and commander of the martial arts team, and Ding Xiaoyi, commander of the Yanling team. On the lookout platform on the second floor below, there is a one-stop command and auxiliary system of guards, staff officers, and heralds composed of dozens of guards, staff officers, and heralds composed of more than ten generals of the martial arts team and the Yanling team, deputy generals, and dozens of people.

Under the nest car, there were only 500 armored cavalry and 300 semi-automatic firearms troops (that is, 300 martial arts soldiers) who surrounded the headquarters. Compared with the other four armies, the Chinese army was the smallest in number but the most elite. This cavalry army of the Son of Heaven was dressed in yellow clothing, covered in armor, wearing a pot-shaped iron helmet, carrying a gun and a knife, and a heavy bullet belt crossed his chest and back. Under the scorching sun, standing solemnly, thousands of troops are like one person, and the murderous aura condenses a thousand blades.

Around the large array of the five armies, there were thousands of horsemen led by Zhang Ba, all of whom were equipped, galloping from the main formation to the front of the two armies from time to time, and expelling the iron cavalry of the Yuan army who came to snoop. There are occasional confrontations, most of which are one-touch and go, and they are not entangled.

Before the hour came, the flags of red, white, soap, gray, and yellow were waved in turn, indicating that the Song army was complete.

Zhao Lie's head signaled, and Deputy Marshal Jiang Fenglie was covered in armor, pressed his sword forward, and shouted: "Ying Qi." ”

The banner of the Great Song Dynasty of the Chinese Army and the banner of the Dragon Bird Army waved, the five-color flag echoed and waved, and the officers and soldiers of the five armies shouted in unison, "Ten thousand victories!" Wansheng! Wansheng! ”

Looking from the high nest car, the flag is like a cloud, the armor is like a forest, and the battle spirit is soaring to the sky, straight through the nine skies.

Zhao Lie patted all over the gangan, fierce and fierce, and shouted softly: "Finally, it's time to ...... Kublai Khan, Boyan, open your eyes wide, and look at the fangs of the Great Song Dynasty! ”
