The clusters of arrows shot were like flying locusts, covering the already gloomy sky, falling like dense raindrops, crackling through the leather armor and penetrating deep into the soldiers' bodies, causing a continuous scream and muffled snort.

The Yuan army was like a surging tide, stepping on the corpses of its companions and constantly charging towards the Song army's position, and the Song army's front was as solid as a reef that had stood for thousands of years, no matter how the Yuan army attacked, it could not break through the firepower network under the dense arrow steps.

The counterattack of the cavalry of the Yuan army was not large-scale, and most of the bows and arrows shot from the horse were stopped by the shield players in the Song army's formation, and there were also Song army shooters who were injured by arrows and fell, but there would be people behind them immediately to fill the position, and the armor-piercing cones and divine arm bows and crossbow arrows shot in the formation were still so violent.

However, with only cold weapons, the defense of the Song army was very stable, but as the Yuan army's front gradually advanced, the Yuan army shot more and more bows and arrows, no matter how tacit the cooperation between the Song army's infantry and how tacit the protection was, it could not prevent the gradual increase in the number of people injured by the arrows.

The army of the Yuan Dynasty couldn't hear the sound of artillery fire for a long time, and they were even more convinced that the Song army on the opposite side had finished shooting shells and lost the cover of artillery fire, what else could they worry about, what else was there to be afraid of?

The Yuan army, which was in the rear, pressed forward excitedly, urging the horses to rush to the front of the Song army immediately, and swayed the resentment accumulated throughout the day with the scimitar in his hand. And the Yuan army in the first row in front of the formation was sacrificing their lives to shoot at the Song army, and the front was suppressed by the bows and arrows of the Song army flying in the sky, and it was extremely difficult to take one more step forward, so the Yuan army behind them became more and more dense.

The more than 100,000 troops were all gathered in front of the battle line about two or three miles long, and all of them entered the range of the artillery, and if they concentrated their firepower and started shelling now, the lethal effect would be several times greater than that of the early morning battle.

Li Yiming had watched it excitedly a few times, turned left and right beside Zhao Tianyou, and finally waited for Zhao Tianyou's clear drink.

"The time has come, all the artillery is fired, and you can aim and shoot freely!"

More than 900 cannons had already been loaded with shells, each aiming at a target within range, waiting for the artillery to be bombarded.

"Fire! Free Fire! ”

"Fire! Free Fire! ”

The herald's flag waved, and the cannon rang out in a row, and behind the entire Song army's position, a thick white smoke of gunpowder rose.

Every shell that fell rapidly could kill and wound at least a few soldiers, and when the blood-stained shell exploded, it took more lives. The densely packed Yuan army was stunned, wasn't there no shells? What, what's going on? Shells again?

More than 900 violent explosions told Kuo Kuo a ruthless fact that the cannons of the Song army could still fire shells, as if they were faster than that time, and the shells were more dense.

The ranks of the Yuan army were too dense, people and horses were impenetrable, and after the shells fell, they couldn't dodge if they wanted to, and they were hit by the shock wave of the shell explosion, and the people and horses fell one by one. Even a soldier who was not injured by a cannonball, once he fell down and fell off his horse, it was difficult to get up again, and he would be trampled by other horses in an instant, turning into a puddle of meat lying on the ground.

The artillery of the firearms battalion, which has been repaired and replenished, knows that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, not to mention that it is a shell that shoots out, even if a stone is thrown from such a distance, it can kill two people, how can they not speed up and open fire.

The soldiers of the Yuan army, who were at the end of the line, completely lost their confidence, and did not need anyone's orders at all, and as soon as they turned around and wiped their heads, they hated the horses under their crotches for running slowly. The soldiers of the Yuan Army, who had lost their fighting spirit and morale, were only short of a few cannon shots when they changed from a mighty division to a rabble, and no matter how much they shouted at this time, they couldn't suppress the chaotic ranks.

The Song army's shells could not be prevented and avoided without warning, and all the Yuan soldiers who were within range could only run backwards with their heads down, praying in their hearts that the heavens would open their eyes and not be hit by the falling shells.

The rout of this scale caused the soldiers in the center to be unable to distinguish the direction, and in the rumbling cannon and gunsmoke, the horses who could not tell the way out began to collide with each other, not only falling to the ground and being injured, but rolling together, and no one could get out.

The howling of ghosts and wolves sounded everywhere, and there were scenes of people turning over on their backs everywhere, that is, the cavalrymen who were not yet injured, and if they wanted to get out, they had to take a detour, and if they were not careful, they would fall into a dead place and not be able to get out.

Kuokuo was surrounded by hundreds of elite guards, and when he retreated, he also received a few shells and lost dozens of soldiers, which also frightened Kuo Kuo. has been directing the battle at the rear of the team, and the sound of the cannon is fierce and others can bear it, and when it exploded beside him, the blood on the guard's body was torn open by shrapnel, the blood gushing out, and the internal organs that flowed out of the abdomen and cracked out, so that Kuokuo Kuo could see the power of the cannonball.

After a few rounds of bombardment, the second half of the Yuan army scattered and fled, far away from the battlefield where they were terrified, and even a dozen horses ran down to the remote place, and they could guess that they were going to be deserters.

However, tens of thousands of soldiers remained, they did not suffer from artillery shelling, they kept firing at the infantry of the Song army, and they kept trying to storm the positions of the Song army. It's not that they don't have a chance to escape, but as long as they run back, they will fall under the bombardment of shells, and it seems that they can stay where they are for a little longer, after all, bows and arrows are much less powerful.

But at such a moment of hesitation, the artillery of the Song army had already taken a new aim, and the hundred Hongyi cannons were pushed out of the formation, and the low-hanging muzzles pointed directly at these Yuan cavalry at close range, and after a roar, they shot out powerful cannonballs.

The bombardment of the heavy artillery was like thunder, but it was not directly hit by shrapnel, and the shock wave and the sound of artillery also gave the nearby soldiers a headache, and the horses were restless and did not listen to the command, and the front line that had been firing at the Song army was chaotic at once.

Whether to turn around and run away or stay to fight, many people will not choose, they can only follow the choice of most of the people around them, some people run away and some stay to continue to shoot against the Song army, but the arrows flying towards the Song army from the camp are no longer lethal.

The cavalry of the Song Army, who was about to burst with the fierce battle intent, pulled out the saber on his waist and struck it with the shield in his hand, playing a neat and loud beat. They are asking for battle, seeing that the Yuan army has been defeated, and if they don't let them attack, let alone eat meat, I'm afraid they won't even be able to drink soup.

It was Li Yiming who conveyed the order to attack, and he himself rushed to the forefront of the line with his saber, roaring that the cavalry of the Yuan army who had been outflanked from both flanks must surround them before the artillery stopped firing, and they could not escape again.
