Attacking the Mongolian cavalry with foot soldiers, Ye Yingwu was not stupid enough to directly cover the past, so that he could only be divided and surrounded by the Mongolian cavalry and wiped out one by one, especially the heavy infantry soldiers behind him had not yet put on armor, so it was impossible for the biggest threat to the cavalry to rush up in a short time.

"Array!" Yang Baolang shouted.

The training of the Tianwu Army is not only for the exercise of personal ability, but also for the training of the array, which is why Ye Yingwu forced the Tianwu Army to include kicking and stepping in their daily training, because this training is iron discipline and quick reaction.

Almost as soon as Yang Bao gave an order, the Tianwu soldiers who rushed in front and behind stopped almost at the same time, and one after another seemingly barely neat phalanx soon appeared in front of the Mongolian cavalry. Immediately afterwards, a large group of spear-armed soldiers quickly stood along the sides of the queue.

At the moment when the spearmen stood up, the Mongol cavalry slammed into the spears! Blood splattered out almost instantly, and the black wave of the Mongol cavalry slapped fiercely into the formation of the spearmen, and the entire phalanx was sunk inward in an instant, and the thin first layer of defense was torn apart in the first charge.

"Crossbowman, suppress!" All the Song troops in charge of commanding at the front were shouting hoarsely. The crossbowmen, who had also just stood up, had no time to aim, and they did not need to aim, because there were only two or three rows of foot soldiers between them and the Mongol cavalry.

The roar of arrows finally stopped the onslaught of the Mongol cavalry, but it seemed that it could only delay the time a little. The assault of the Mongol cavalry was like a bamboo, and for the first time in front of the Tianwu army, it showed the majesty of the iron cavalry that swept across Europe and Asia.

"Tianwu Army, kill ——!" Yang Bao couldn't care so much anymore, so he instigated the war horse to rush forward with his personal guards. If the Mongol cavalry were allowed to continue to rush forward, it is estimated that the entire formation would be cut off and these phalanxes would be completely dispersed.

The commander went into battle to kill the enemy, and the Chinese soldiers and soldiers were naturally high-spirited, and the phalanxes finally stabilized their positions, but the original six phalanxes were barely neat. At this time, only three were barely able to hold on, and the rest of the soldiers were either dead or wounded, as if swallowed up by darkness.

"When I came up, I lost half of my manpower, and it was as powerful as this." Jiang Tie, who was following behind Ye Yingwu, couldn't help but be speechless.

"What nonsense. It's our turn. Ye Yingwu turned his head and glared at him, "It is impossible to stop the Mongolian cavalry with these foot soldiers alone, Jiang Tie, Wu Chucai, follow a certain one!" ”

Jiang Tie and Wu Chucai had a solemn look on their faces, and the amazing combat power of the Mongolian cavalry that erupted in this surprise attack made them put away their previous misdeeds. The five hundred cavalry of the hundred battles suddenly began to accelerate behind the foot soldiers, they had already gone up and shot a round of arrows just now, but Ye Yingwu still cautiously retreated with the team, after all, it was a waste to let the five hundred battles rush to the front.

This time I rushed up again, but it was different.

Ye Yingwu's face showed a hideous killing intent that should not belong to a civilian official who was powerless, the short crossbow in his hand snapped suddenly, and the arrow whistled and pierced the throat of the nearest Mongolian cavalryman, Ye Yingwu casually threw the short crossbow to the ground, this kind of bow and crossbow with a very close shooting distance not only has two per person, but also is easy to produce. So instead of putting it down again, it's better to just throw it away.

The saber in his right hand whistled and slashed at the Mongol cavalryman, and the Mongol cavalryman, who was still trying to struggle with his throat, fell straight off his horse. Jiang Tie and Wu Chucai snatched out from Ye Yingwu's side one left and one right, and after the short crossbow shot, the sword roared to meet the Mongolian cavalry.

The five hundred cavalry of the hundred battles are very tricky to pass through a phalanx of infantry soldiers who are difficult to hold onto, and the Mongolian cavalry in front has been slowed down a lot by the Chinese infantry soldiers, so it is easy to understand that a large piece of ground is cut down by the five hundred cavalry like cutting wheat.

In the firelight, Ye Yingwu's general flag danced in the wind, and the young general took the lead. And it was as if I was infinitely inspired. The Song soldiers, who already had a tendency to rout, gritted their teeth and continued to sacrifice their lives to go up.

And behind them, there were three or four phalanxes scattered to block the Mongol cavalry that broke through. Because behind these three or four phalanxes was a team of wounded soldiers who were moving slowly. One after another, the Tianwu Army and the Chinese Army did not hesitate to go up. The main thing is to be able to protect his injured robe.

"Envoy, the Mongol Tartars want to go around behind us!" Jiang Tie violently swung his knife to force back several Mongolian cavalrymen, and rushed to Ye Yingwu's side, and Ye Yingwu also had deep or shallow wounds on his body during the melee, but at this time, who was not covered in blood, so he didn't know if he was injured or not. It is also not known whether the blood on the armor is your own or the enemy's.

Ye Yingwu's eyes were red, and he picked up the general flag in Jiang Tie's hand, and held it himself: "Hundred battles, follow a certain battle to the back, cover the back road!" Yang Bao, if this place is broken through, come and see you! ”

Ye Yingwu led his troops to charge into battle, Yang Bao naturally did not dare to stay away from him, and the appearance of Mongolian cavalry on the back road also surprised him, but fortunately, there were still four or five thousand soldiers covering the back road, so it would not be broken through so easily. If you let you go, it should be safer than here.

Before he had time to think about it, Yang Bao shouted angrily while pulling away the knife chopped by the Mongolian centurion who was close at hand: "The last general dares to disobey his fate!" ”

It's just that Ye Yingwu didn't hear his answer, there were less than four hundred people left in the five hundred battles at this time, and everyone was covered in blood, but everyone didn't hesitate to catch up with Ye Yingwu and catch up with the red flag.

Grabbing a flaw and dodging it slightly to the side, and then quickly slashing at the waist of the Mongolian centurion who had been entangled for too long, Yang Bao finally breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't allow him to relax, and immediately stepped forward:

"Brothers, the envoy will personally cover the back road for us, whether we can block these Mongolian Tatars or not depends on us, we can't disgrace the envoy with the Tianwu army!"

"Kill!" Several of Yang Bao's guards roared and rushed forward, and the only remaining firetle terrestris in their hands was thrown out first.

In the sound of explosions one after another, in the flickering firelight, every Song soldier and Mongolian cavalry who fought were the same hideous.

The rear road was better than the flanks, firstly, the number of Mongol cavalry in the roundabout was relatively small, and secondly, there was plenty of time to prepare, and the heavily armored soldiers rushed forward first. The red flag was unfurled, and a hundred battles rushed out of the slope, like a wild horse that had escaped from the reins, crashing into the Mongolian cavalry.

The roundabout Mongol cavalry lined up in a long line, long in front and behind, short on the left and right. In order to reduce the damage of the Song army's bow and crossbow, he did not expect to be cut off by a hundred battles. And more Song crossbowmen took advantage of the confusion of the Mongol cavalry to frantically pull the trigger.

"Turn back, kill!" Ye Yingwu gathered the cavalry around him, and the rush in the dark just now was already scattered. Jiang Tie led more than 100 people to the north of the Mongolian cavalry brigade, while Ye Yingwu and Wu Chucai led the rest to the south.

"Pierce, kill!" Jiang Tie also gave the same order in the north.

The two Song cavalry were like two sharp swords, once again ploughing through the scattered formation of the Mongol cavalry. When the Song army infantry of the brigade saw that the envoy personally led the team to completely disperse the fierce Mongolian cavalry in front of them, their blood immediately boiled and they rushed to the crown, and rows of heavily armored soldiers marched forward. The great axe shimmered brightly in the flames.

Behind them, spearmen and lightly armored foot soldiers followed.

The Mongol cavalry, which attacked the rear in a roundabout way, never dreamed that the Song army would dare to counterattack, and it fought so stubbornly and decisively, that it suddenly became a mess, and even began to retreat slowly. It's just that more dense footsteps came and went in the dark, and the Mongolian Han foot soldiers finally arrived out of breath to cover the retreat of the Mongolian cavalry.

"Withdraw, to the water!" Ye Yingwu shouted loudly, he had exhausted all the strength of his life, and his throat was already hoarse, but he couldn't take care of it at this time.

A hundred battles scattered quickly. Harassing the rows of rushing Mongol foot soldiers, while the Song crossbowmen covered, the brigade of foot soldiers quickly turned behind them, and the heavily armored soldiers simply joined directly to the flanks.

Although the flank of the Song army was almost broken through, the speed of the Mongol cavalry raid was completely gone, and with the sound of gongs and drums in the rear, the Mongol cavalry, which was almost surrounded by the Song soldiers, finally had to turn their horses and retreat.

The retreat of the Mongol cavalry meant that the Mongolian infantry in the rear had rushed up.

"Withdraw!" Yang Bao did not hesitate at all. As a battlefield veteran. He knew very well that this was the moment when the entire Mongolian infantry was adjusted, although it was short, but it was enough for the Song army to retreat. If you can't grasp this moment. After a while, if you are entangled by the Mongolian foot soldiers, you will really fall into the place of death, and no one will want to run out at that time.

——————————————

The flames on the shore of the Zhuanshui River were full of flames and big fights, but in the Mongolian sailor camp of the Guanghua Army, there was also a war and a sound of killing.

Guanghuajun was once the northernmost state capital of the Southern Song Dynasty on Jingnan Road, and it was also the state capital across the Han River from Xiangyang, but it was only the size of the state capital at hand. It has become a place where the Mongol army gathers. Only by placing the broken sailor here can Ah Shu feel at ease.

It's just that this time, the Yingzhou Navy Division still attacked the door.

More than a dozen building ships lined up neatly on the Han River, the dense bed crossbow arrows had been swept away, and the fire thistles tied to the iron arrows set off explosions continuously.

Ah Shu pressed his sword and quickly walked through the burning camp, the flames soared into the sky, black smoke filled the air, and the entire sky was already reflected in the color of blood red. It's just that the commander of the Mongolian Southern Expedition was indifferent, and he didn't care about the arrows whistling overhead.

In front is an arrow tower, and the continuous wall separates the Mongolian naval camp and the Mongolian battalion behind, but at this time, the arrows of the Song army have crossed the naval division camp and bombarded the Mongolian infantry camp behind.

A young general on the wall smiled slightly, but the row of trebuchets beside him did not mean to fire back.

"Zhang Hongfan, what the hell are you doing?!" Ah Shutie's face turned blue and roared angrily in the explosion, "How many camps do you want to burn down to prove the incompetence of the water master?!" ”

Since Dong Wenbing's death, Zhang Hongfan, who took office after the death of Dong Wenbing, looked at the person who came with some surprise, and hurriedly walked up to meet him: "The last general, Zhang Hongfan, see the marshal." The arrows of the southern barbarians here are fierce, and the marshal should hurry back. ”

"Tell so-and-so what the hell is going on." Ah Shu glanced at him coldly, "Don't say that you are hiding from the Southern Barbarians here, I want to know why these trebuchets don't even have the courage to launch, can you Zhang Hongfan tell ?!! ”

Ah Shu was really angry, after all, the burden on his shoulders was actually the heaviest in the past few days, first the two Mongolian infantry cavalry going south all lost their news, so that Ah Shu realized that the Tianwu Army was not the Tianwu Army that needed to go through a bloody battle to barely drive away the Mongolian infantry cavalry, and then the grain and grass in Gwangju were burned, although the tens of thousands of foot soldiers of the Tianwu Army were finally blocked in Gwangju, but Ah Shu did not think that there was anything to celebrate. After all, compared to the grain and grass in Gwangju, this tens of thousands of heavenly martial forces are actually nothing important.

As long as the food and grass are still there, it is up to Ah Shu to decide when he wants to attack the Tianwu Army, but now he has to send elite cavalry to surround and intercept him.

I don't know what happened in Gwangju yet. But in front of him, there was a real back-to-back Yingzhou sailor bullying the door. It is a fact that the Mongolian sailors were defeated, but looking at the confrontation between Mongolia and Song for so many years, there has never been a time when the Song army sailors have attacked the Mongolian camp so rampantly!

This face is slapped, it can't be said that it is not loud, and Ah Shu only feels a hot pain. And now Zhang Hongfan, who replaces Dong Wenbing, has been nesting here. didn't even dare to fight back, which made Ah Shu feel like salt was sprinkled on his wound, so he naturally couldn't sit still at all, and personally ran to this water division camp to supervise the battle.

Zhang Hongfan took a breath lightly, with a burning feeling in the air, but he was still very indifferent at this time, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Marshal Qiyu, the distance between the warships of the Song Army Navy Division is too far, and even if the trebuchet is used, it is difficult to hit the Song Army Navy Division." It is even possible that the position was exposed, and because the heavy was destroyed by the Southern Barbarians in time, the Admiral did not think it was suitable to attack. ”

Ah Shu is not a brainless person, after all, he followed Kublai Khan to fight in Lianghuai Dali, made great achievements, and is now appointed as the commander-in-chief of Xiangyang affairs of Marshal Zhengnan, Kublai Khan's trust in him can be seen, not to mention his own ability.

It was mainly because he was angry just now, but now that he thought about it, Ah Shu nodded slightly: "Then will the Song Army's naval division warship move forward?" If you leave. Haven't we suffered a big loss? ”

Zhang Hongfan shook his head a little helplessly: "The last general is not sure, even now that the sky is dark, even with the help of the firelight, it is not clear who is commanding the naval fleet of the Southern Barbarians." However, according to the fighting style of the Southern Barbarians at this time, the last general thought that he was six or seven percent sure that he could lure them to the left of the camp. When the trebuchet is at the same time, it will naturally be able to make a lot of gains. ”

Ah Shu's brows furrowed, this was gambling. The bet is on his Ashu and Zhang Hongfan's own future. Don't look at Zhang Hongfan as the son of the general Zhang Rou, if something goes wrong here, even if Kublai Khan doesn't kill him for Zhang Rou's sake, it is estimated that it will be difficult to be promoted in this life.

Stretched out his hand and patted Zhang Hongfan's shoulder. I still appreciate this young man Ah Shu, after all, being able to save the only remaining sailor warship in the chaos is already an ability that cannot be underestimated, not to mention that this Zhang Hongfan does things in a father's style, capable and wise, in the face of the overwhelming advantage of the Song army's sailors, Ah Shu really can't find anyone else to choose the top here, so now he can only gamble.

Zhang Hongfan didn't say a word, but after a while, he made a gesture to a centurion beside him, squatting on the edge of the wall, and Ah Shu clearly saw that not long after, an undestroyed Mongolian Mengchong clipper jumped out of the sea of fire, crossed a curve in front of the Song warship, and then rushed back to the camp.

Just now, the Yingzhou Navy Division thought that the Mongolian warships had been destroyed, so all the building ships were placed in the front and tried to attack the Mongolian camp as far as possible.

Lou Chuan was attacked by Meng Chong, this resolutely can't bear it!

Flags flew one after another, and the Song Junlou ship stopped shooting, but slowly turned the bow of the ship, and in the gap, the Mengchong Clipper stepped forward quickly, and first shot arrows at the blazing Mongolian sailor camp, after all, the Mongolian camp did not use trebuchets to fight back from beginning to end, which did surprise the Song warships, but in the eyes of the Song Army, even if they had trebuchets, they had been almost burned by the fire, so they used Mengchong to shoot a round of arrows.

It is estimated that after this round of arrows, there are no soldiers who can stand in the sailor camp.

Meng Chong retreated, and the building boat slowly moved forward, and the bed crossbow in the bow of the ship was the first to roar, piercing the flames and Jiang Tao.

The wall where Ah Shu was hiding kept making a "poof" sound, which was the sound of arrows hitting and was accompanied by the sound of tongues of fire. It's just that in the firelight, Ah Shu's face was solemn, and he just looked at the water in the distance a little nervously.

Little by little, the building ship is approaching.

"Put!" Zhang Hongfan gave the order coldly, without a little feeling.

Beside him, Ah Shu nodded appreciatively, this young man, calm can be of great use. (To be continued.) )
