The first powered reconnaissance hot air balloon to encounter the enemy first sent back a signal, which, after several passes, quickly returned to the Imperial Army's formation.

"The enemy is about more than 10,000 people, the infantry and cavalry are coordinated, a total of more than 50 marching artillery------ they drove away about 5,000 civilians, including both men and women------ and now they are about six kilometers away from the position, and they will arrive in about an hour!"

This is really a shameless way to play!

The most hated of this situation are the troops who operate the marching artillery, it is clear that they will not be able to fire the artillery to the fullest!

The Scout Cavalry of the Imperial Army fought desperately with the Scout Troops of the Tatar Army, and both sides shielded each other's reconnaissance on land------ but the Scouts of the Tatar Army were frustrated to find that they could not deal with the large Kong Ming Lantern in the sky!

The men in the large Kong Ming lantern gondola waved the two-color flag desperately, and it was clear that they could see the formation of the Tatar army clearly.

The head of the Tatar army looked at the strange thing in the sky with a hideous and helpless face, and really wanted to shoot it down!

But looking at that height, people who have played with bows and arrows since childhood know that even the hardest bow and arrow can't reach it------ can just bend the bow and shoot the eagle? That's shameless flattery!

He shouted to the generals around him: "Let those Han dogs hurry up, don't ask them to be ready!" ”

The soldier in charge of driving away the civilians raised his whip and began to beat and curse.

The civilians who were in the front seemed to speed up their movements, and just now, they were also startled by the strange thing in the air, and involuntarily slowed down.

However, the strange thing in the sky seemed to be harmless to humans and animals, just drifting there slowly.

A platoon commander of the Imperial Air Force was carefully observing the Tatar army with a telescope.

Most of their infantry cavalry were about fifty meters away from the civilians in front, and about a hundred soldiers mixed in with the crowd to drive the civilians.

The assistant to the air force platoon commander said with red eyes:

"Platoon commander! After the balloons of those three squads are in place, let's concentrate on bombing the Tatar bandits! ”

He had just seen a few women fall to the ground, beaten by the soldiers!

The Air Force platoon commander sneered and said, "Don't be in a hurry! Let them go again------ if we blow up and the enemy scatters and flees, we will lose all our efforts!

It doesn't hurt to let them suffer a little more------"

The assistant spoke in a crying voice: "The Han people in the north are so miserable------ what kind of life they live!" ”

"Humph! If they can, they will endure it------ with high-yield corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes, and they will not think about anything when they can eat and be hungry!

On land, they can sneak to the Shandong region; On the Yellow River, you can also float to the Great Song Dynasty with a wooden plank; On the beach, you can take a broken sampan to the coast of Shandong------ do you see them running?! ”

What the Air Force platoon commander said is true.

There were some people who fled to the Shandong region or the Great Song region before, but in recent years there have been almost none.

The Tatars do have a strict household registration system, and there must be roads ten miles away from the place of household registration; It is true that not a single boat is allowed to go to sea along the coast; Don't even get close to the Yellow River within three miles!

However, as long as you have a heart, there is always a way, after all, there are still too few troops in charge of patrolling------ even if you are caught in the process, what if you are just whipped?!

However, they just didn't dare to ------ because they could still survive.

Why run if you can survive? Where is not alive yet??

Maybe no one will tell them that these two ways of living are really different!

The platoon commander's assistant was speechless for a moment.

The civilians really picked up their pace, and everything was normal.

A big battle was about to begin, but Captain Huang Zu was leaving, and before leaving, they made a few appointments for the next step.

He refused the offer to send someone to escort him, asked for some more military explosives bags, and after carrying them on his own, he waded through the creek and went straight into the dense forest in the hills.

This is not his battlefield.

The commander of the first division and the commander of the second division envy his military rank------ Major General, this rank is far more powerful than the generals of the Great Song Dynasty!"

However, no one can question his contributions------ when the family began to live and die, the two division commanders were still teenagers.

But the two division commanders also have their own opportunities to fight for military ranks, as long as they fight this battle well!

When the entire army formation was deployed, the figure of the enemy ------ the figures of the civilians who had been driven away appeared in the distance.

The spring sun was warm but not blazing, but the palms of the two division commanders were slightly sweaty.

They were not afraid of the onslaught of the Tatar bandits, but they were afraid that the civilians would obediently obey the orders and storm the positions.

When the time comes, only the two of them have already been discussed------ and no one can be an obstacle to the elimination of the Tatar bandits!

For a moment, the battlefield was extremely silent, and it seemed that only the sound of civilians walking and dragging could be heard, and there seemed to be the cry of a woman.

The figures of the civilians were closer, and their expressions could be seen.

Burnt and thin, and numb by the way.

A staff officer of the Imperial Army waved his hand, and several soldiers with brass horns shouted:

"People of the north, this battle has nothing to do with you------- run to the hills on the left and right!!

The whole crowd seemed to shake for a moment, and then the whip was raised in the crowd, and it seemed that the howl of a ghost crying wolf could be heard.

The whole crowd began to move towards the position again.

Fuck it!

The commander of the first division looked at the unpowered hot air balloon on the position, and the two-color signal flag waved by the air force personnel on it.

The Tatar army advanced slowly, they were about a hundred meters away from the civilian population, two kilometers from our formation!

It's not yet the best position for shelling------ all of us wait!

Once again, the gunners of the rocket positions lowered the firing angle at the order------ they were to use it in conjunction with the mortars!

But the war took an unexpected turn.

At the rear of the position, the light cavalry in the baggage area was slowly tightening the bellies of their horses------ it would be at least half an hour before it was their turn to fight.

Some cavalrymen also caught soybeans to feed their war horses------ no one was in a hurry to step on the war horses, so that it suffered in vain.

A Mamluk company commander was still lying in his horse's ear and speaking his native dialect, and no one could understand his bird language.

His horse didn't seem to want to listen, and suddenly neighed and made a small jump.

The Mamluk company commander seemed to understand the cry of the war horse, his face changed, and he lay on the ground again to listen------ he suddenly shouted:

"Imperial cavalry, get on your horse!

Warning shots, there is an enemy attack in the rear!! ”

"Smack!" "Smack!" "Smack!"

Three emergency gunshots broke the temporary silence!

The two division commanders in front of the position shuddered, what happened!?

The air force members above the position suddenly looked to the rear, oh my God, when did a squad of cavalry come out!!

They immediately signaled:

Two kilometers from the rear there is an enemy cavalry attack!
