Zhehu, the general stationed in Daxingfu, was a brave and resourceful general, although he did not succeed in sending troops to support Zhuozhou because of the delay in the order, but now Li Mingyi's army is heading to the boundary of Daxingfu, and he can guess the fate of Zhuozhou.

What puzzled him was that Zhuozhou was defeated, why there was no soldier who escaped, what siege methods were used by the Song army in the two days in Zhuozhou, and whether the power could be used to make use of it, these are all things that Zhehu desperately wants to know.

However, the information he was able to obtain from the Song army still came from following Kublai Khan to besiege Bazhou, and the power of the cannon and the power of the Song army's sharp and heavy arrows had already been carefully told to him.

Since the artillery of the Song army attacking and defending the city is invincible, it seems that there is only one way to fight against the Song army, and that is to fight flexibly and flexibly in the field, which is exactly what the cavalry of the Yuan army is good at.

Before Li Mingyi's brigade arrived, dozens of groups of cavalry of the Yuan army appeared around, like hyenas that could not be driven away, and it was difficult to distinguish with the vanguard of the Song army.

This time, the tactics of the Yuan army caught Li Mingyi off guard, the number of the vanguard team was not as good as that of the Yuan army, and they suffered a little loss after several battles, and the battle losses of the several squads that withdrew were more than half. Seeing the cavalry squad returning with heavy casualties, Li Mingyi immediately frowned at all times, and immediately ordered the cavalry squad that went out to patrol to retreat, only operating within the range around the army, and not to be too far away.

However, Li Mingyi was not a loser, he secretly ordered to reconnoiter the position of the enemy squad, and when his own forces were retreating, he attracted the Yuan army's squad to a visible distance, and the cannon that had already been loaded gave them a head-on blow.

More than 30 shells exploded almost simultaneously, and almost no one was spared more than 50 Yuan cavalry in the range, and five of the least injured people were covered with bloody wounds all over their bodies, and they retreated in a hurry on a war horse that was deaf to the ears by the shells.

When cleaning up the scene, there were still more than a dozen Yuan soldiers who could move, although they were weak to raise their knives or couldn't get up, but it was obviously different from positional warfare, that is, the lethality of the shells was obviously smaller.

If more than 30 shells are defending the city, they can cause more than 150 casualties of the Yuan army, and the enemy's marching numbers are large and dense, as long as the artillery is fired at the enemy, there is no time to miss.

However, when Li Mingyi inspected the site of the explosion just now, more than half of the shells had been blown up, and they had not exploded near the cavalry of the Yuan army at all, and only a dozen shells could really hit the target and kill and injure the local soldiers.

Therefore, the injuries of the fallen Yuan army were not too serious, and it was not surprising that five people were able to escape on horseback, and to deal with a small mobile cavalry squad, if the artillery wanted to achieve a certain result, it would have to pay several times more shells and careful preparation in advance.

This time it can be regarded as the Song army luring the enemy into an ambush, if the Yuan army is a little vigilant, I am afraid that these more than 30 shells exploded, and three or five of them can hit the target is considered accurate, and the cost performance of such shells is extremely low.

In fact, Li Mingyi has long understood this tactic, and in the offensive and defensive classes of the students in the lecture hall, the students can come up with all kinds of strange methods, so they also have countermeasures for a small force like the Yuan army.

Under the order, the strong crossbowmen in the infantry came out of the whole team, and combined with the cavalry squad to form a mixed army, and the new strong crossbowmen who were replaced with horses have also practiced riding skills, but they are not proficient, and they do not rely on them to fight on normal horses.

They have two divine arm bows on their bodies, both of which have been wound in advance, and they are ready to launch at all times, while the regular cavalry surrounds them, and they will deal with the Yuan cavalry that can appear at any time.

The range of the Song army's divine arm bow far exceeded that of the Mongolian cavalry's horn bow, and almost all of them played a major role when the Song army defeated Jin Liao and the Mongolian cavalry on a limited number of times. The Shenjian bow installed on Wangshan not only has a long range, but also shoots accurately and ruthlessly, and it is also the only highlight of the Song Dynasty's weapons superior to that of Meng Yuan, but the biggest obstacle is that it is not as flexible and efficient as the bow and arrow, and the average crossbowman can fire up to three times and be exhausted.

Therefore, the strength of the Divine Arm Bow made later was reduced, and the pulling force was reduced to two stones and five buckets, and basically the soldiers who could pull apart the two-stone hard bow were able to use the Divine Arm Bow, but it brought the problem of reduced range.

In the end, there was a Divine Arm Bow that was reduced to the power of killing eight birds with one stone, although the range of soldiers that could be used was wider, but the ultra-long range that made the nomadic tribes tremble was gone, and there was never a mature plan for how to choose.

And a Mongolian cavalry participated in the battle, he could fire dozens of bows and arrows on a high-speed galloping horse, compared with the two, although the Song army's divine arm bow had a powerful range, but the combined combat effectiveness was far inferior to the bow and arrow of the Mengyuan cavalry.

And the Divine Arm Bow used in today's battle, the pulling force is about two stones and eight buckets, and the range of two hundred and forty to two hundred and eighty steps can be found when the Yuan army shoots them two rounds first, and the Yuan army can only watch and cannot counterattack, because the standard range of their Mongolian bow is only one hundred and fifty steps.

Two well-wounded Divine Arm Bows can be shot out almost in the blink of an eye after discovering the target, and then they can be pulled apart and fired once in the load, which means that before the Yuan army wants to attack the Song army, it must first withstand three rounds of divine arm bow fire.

What the specific effect will be, there will be a chance to verify it soon, a team of more than 80 people Song army squad, was secretly targeted by a group of more than 100 Yuan troops, they hid in the woods, ready to rush out at the right time, and give the Song army a fatal blow.

The archers at the front of the group were cautious and carefully observed their surroundings, and would not let their guard down until they were sure that there was no sign of the enemy.

The Song army slowly passed through the woods, the distance was getting closer and closer, and the leader of the Yuan army hidden in the forest pressed the urge to kill out, and he was also estimating the distance, waiting for the Song army to get as close as possible.

If the Song army can reach a range of one hundred and fifty paces, with the speed of their war horses, almost out of the woods, they can bend their bows and shoot arrows to kill the Song army, and each warrior can fire three arrows before directly engaging the Song army.

100 people have an advantage over 80 people, plus the advantage of striking first, in his eyes, Song Jun's team is simply a big plate of fragrant buns, or the kind of one bite and a bag of oil.

"Charge me, shoot them!"

The Yuan general did not wait for one hundred and fifty paces, and at the distance of two hundred paces, he could not contain his excitement and gave the order to attack, and it seemed to him that it was only a few steps later in launching.

After a period of agitation, a hundred or so war horses that accelerated violently came out of the woods and galloped towards the Song army's squad, and the bow in the hands of each Yuan soldier had been drawn wide, and when they were waiting to move forward, they released the bowstring and shot sharp arrows.
