Zheng Yunming paced back and forth under the cool umbrella, and everyone could see the anxiety in his heart.

"Less than a thousand Tartars, so daring! Cutting off this group of enemies is such a contempt for my Great Song Dynasty soldiers! Herald the front army! Attack the mountain when you're ready! Don't wait for my orders! Be sure to conquer the Nine Posts before noon! ”

He turned to Han Feng and said, "You bring fifty people to the front of the tent to reinforce you!" Whoever retreats immediately beheads! Time, we don't have much time! ”

Han Feng immediately obeyed the order and came to the front with fifty soldiers on his back. At this time, the Song army had been assembled on all sides, and in front of the south was a mixed force of the Baojie militia and the Zhongshun army, and the main commander of the formation was Wei Zugui himself. The large formation formed five or six rows of horizontal formations suitable for attacking the mountain, with sword and shield soldiers in the back and archers in front, waiting for the drums to sound.

The rear finally began to beat the drums, and Wei Zugui shouted: "Forward!" "The brigade crossed the side van formation and began to advance towards the hillside. At the same time, the Song infantry brigades on the other three sides of the hillside also began to march together.

Attacking from all sides in the face of a weak enemy and leaving the enemy at a loss is the basic art of war. In particular, the Bald Flower Army is a heavy infantry and wants reinforcements from all sides.

When the infantry began to climb the mountain, General Take, who was at the bottom of the mountain, also began to shoot cover. Many gunners still habitually pasted yellow paper on the gun, or silently chanted incantations in their mouths, but a few sergeants began to try to use the correspondence between angle and distance to start adjusting the muzzle. With the rumbling sound of cannonballs, stone bullets flew towards the hillside, but General Zhu's range was not enough after all, and only a few could fall into the camp of the Mongol army.

In the face of the three-sided siege of the Song people, the Mongol army guarding the camp did not seem to be in a hurry to counterattack, and did not even shoot an arrow.

Wei Zugui has fought for so many years, and of course understands that this is not a good sign.

If it's a militia or a bandit, it's just that, they're facing the world's best elite troops. Such silence can only mean a more violent blow to come.

Sure enough, when the brigade had slightly crossed the mountainside and approached the cart line at the top of the mountain, the Mongols began to shoot.

The shooting of the horn bow is fierce and violent, this is a more ferocious weapon than the bow and crossbow of the Song army, in the hands of Mongolia, who have been shooting rabbit voles since they were five or six years old and have been manipulating bows and arrows for more than ten years, they are?? It is synonymous with death.

At this distance, the Bald Flower warriors who have been strictly trained since childhood are almost one hundred hundred, and one hundred hundred is not a simple word, it represents that every time the opposite bowstring sounds, there must be a Song army screaming and falling to the ground.

Although the crossbowmen in front of the Song army also began to shoot back, their archery skills were far inferior to those on the other side. What's more, the bald flower army mostly hid behind carts and obstacles, and the cover was very sufficient. The Song army's arrows did little harm to them.

Although they waved the regimental cards as much as possible, it was obvious that the Song army was already somewhat unable to withstand the increasingly fierce arrow attacks of the Mongols, and the Song troops in the north and west had begun to retreat.

Wei Sheng brandished his shield and rushed forward, but behind him were already full of soldiers who had fallen from their arrows. At this time, he heard his father's unusually calm voice.

"Our army retreats!"

What is surprising is that Han Feng and Sergeant Fifty Beiwei beside Wei Zugui did not have any objections, and a good soldier should judge the situation on the battlefield at any time. Now that the two Song armies have retreated, only the Song army in the south remains, and even if it rushes forward in the rain of arrows, it may not be able to form an advantage over the enemy. Retreat is the only way.

Zheng Yunming stood in the distance and witnessed the defeat of the first attack, but he didn't say much. The ferocity of the opponent's arrow was beyond his expectations. He asked loudly, "Hasn't there been any news from the Tabai team?" Is there any movement in the north? ”

Yang Yu said: "The Tabai team just sent someone back to report, and now it is normal, and there are a small number of red horsemen in the direction of the Xinyang army, and it seems that the enemy's reaction this time is a beat slower." ”

"That can't be consumed with the enemy here," Zheng Yunming waved his hand: "Let the Beiwei army go up, and then mobilize two or three thousand strong troops, don't do anything to attack from all sides, kill from the southern slope, and solve the enemy in the shortest possible time." ”

He said in a deep voice, "Every moment of staying here is full of danger. ”

Wang Deng stood beside him, and had not spoken a word since the first attack. At this time, he suddenly said: "Don't send out the Beiwei army for the time being, this time I will take Zhenwu's left, center and right three armies, and I will definitely take the Nine Posts for the deputy capital." ”

Zheng Yunming turned his head to look at him: "You know that there is no joke in the army. ”

Wang Deng replied without changing his face: "You should know that I never say half a joke when I speak. ”

Zheng Yunming smiled and picked up a general order from the table: "Go, let me take a good look at how much the Zhenwu Army has grown these days." ”

Wang Deng took the general's order, turned around and got on his horse and ran straight to the front of the battle formation.

"Zhenwu Army listens to orders! The Chinese army is in front, and the left and right armies are on both wings, forming a beautiful formation! This nine-fold post is the place where the Zhenwu army is intimidating! ”

The thousands of Zhenwu soldiers lined up in front of him burst into enthusiastic cheers. The banner of the large army moved, and began to spread out in formation behind the line of vans.

Yang Luo turned sideways and said to Zheng Yunming: "Jing Song is not fatal, what kind of fish array are you playing in these years." ”

Zheng Yunming shook his head, and just quietly watched as the three armies of the Zhenwu Army gradually formed a formation under the deployment of the formation flags and the front and rear blocking flags.

The key to the Yuli Array is to attack absolutely. This array has been around since the Spring and Autumn Period. The original meaning was to use the chariot in front and a small infantry phalanx to follow behind, first using the impact of the chariot to tear a gap in the enemy's formation, and then the infantry followed to expand the results, which was quite a bit of an infantry contract. However, today's battlefield has long abandoned the cumbersome chariots, and the agile cavalry is the main combat force, so the Yuli Formation is also regarded as a formation that has fallen behind the times.

Wang Deng's exercise of this formation in the army is not that he learned to make some retro formations in the novel to make people laugh, the characteristic of the Zhenwu Army's Yuli Formation is that the fire gun team is arrayed in front of the infantry formation, instead of the chariot charging in front.

Wang Deng's explanation for this is: "The Yuli Array in the new era is fundamentally different from the Yuli Array in ancient times described in the ancient military book. But now that the infantry is the backbone of the attack, and the fire is only to frighten the enemy and create chaos, how can they talk about the same day? ”

Zheng Yunming had no objection to Wang Deng's opinion, he just felt that the Mongol army he was facing now seemed to be all cavalry, and there would be no chance of head-on contact with the Mongolian army's infantry formation on some extremely special occasions? Instead of wasting time and effort to drill the formation of Yuli, it is better to practice the three-fold formation of the opposing cavalry well.

But I never thought that there would really be a moment when the Yuli Array could be used today.

Zheng Yunming, who was watching from afar, watched the foot soldiers of the Zhenwu Army form a strict formation under the hillside. In front of the central array, one hundred and sixty musketeers lined up in a horizontal formation, one carrying a shield and one carrying a musket on his shoulder. The infantry behind them formed a phalanx, alternating behind the musketeers, like layers of fish scales, and when they rushed into the enemy position, the central array would take on most of the combat mission, and the infantry deployed on the flanks would only be used as auxiliaries.

In short, this is not a formation that is decisive by numbers, but relies on the strict discipline and determination of the army to break through the enemy's death-threatening formation.

Who is better between them and the cowardly Xue Guards, who have been on the battlefield for a long time and have shown strong combat power, will soon be answered.

Zheng Yunming was worried in his heart, he had already seen with his own eyes how strong the cowardly Xue army was, if he failed to attack the mountain this time, he would only be forced to retreat. Otherwise, the enemy's cavalry group may appear in their rear at any time.

Not only did it waste a lot of strength and grain and grass, but it was also a heavy blow to the morale of the Xiangyang Song army, which was about to accept the brutal bloody battle of the city.

In this battle, there is no advance or retreat, and it is better to fight one or two thousand people than to annihilate the enemy's elite on the spot.

He ordered Zhu Sheng to lead three hundred Beiwei soldiers to assist Wang Deng, deploy them in the vanguard of the central array, and ordered Wei Zugui to lead hundreds of Baojie troops to line up in the rear of the Beiwei army.

"Those who can fight are all sent, and the victory or defeat is only between advance and retreat." He looked at the formation from afar and said to Yang Yu: "Hell, how did Jing Song's flag move to the front?" ”

The command position of the general of the Fish Scale Formation is located in the middle and rear of the formation, which is convenient for mobilizing a steady stream of reserves to disintegrate the opponent's formation with continuous impact.

Putting the general on the front line of the battle is simply a violation of war strategy.

Not only Zheng Yunming, but the soldiers of the Zhenwu Army were also shocked when they saw the general of the army and the personal guards coming forward directly, and there was a little discussion in the array.

Wang Deng wore a phoenix-winged helmet, dressed in iron armor, and held a wrestling knife in his hand, ready to be no different from the infantry of the forward, except for the Wang Zijiang flag held high behind him.

He shouted: "Today is the first time since I formed the Zhenwu Army that I have engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the enemy!" The enemy army is the most elite cowardly guard among the Hu people, and he has been well-known all over the world for a long time, and he definitely will not look down on my cowardly Southern army! But today, we want to let them see the bravery of the warriors of the Southern Dynasty! Killing the cowardly Xue alone is enough to kill 100 ordinary Northern Army members! I take the lead, and if I retreat to the latter, I will be killed! Today, the Zhenwu Army will be famous all over the world! ”

The war drums behind him were beating, and Wang Deng shouted: "March!" ”

Thousands of Song troops unfolded into a fish-scale formation, advancing step by step towards the mountain.

The cowardly Xue army was still dormant, according to the method of dealing with the first siege, until the Song army skimmed over the mountainside before starting to shoot the bow and arrows, but this time the Zhenwu army was much more prepared, the soldiers in the front row raised their big shields, and the soldiers in the rear also held the regimental card on their heads, while resisting the arrows, and on the other hand, the archers behind the big shields began to shoot back, which naturally did not hurt the cowardly Xue soldiers who were well covered behind the obstacles.
