With the continuous waving of the Ling Flag, the Song army also knew that the time for a decisive battle had come, and the formation of the two wings began to change with the orders conveyed by the Ling Banner, and a large number of pikemen wearing heavy armor began to be transferred to the front of the formation, and the sword and axe men were also lined up behind the pikemen, ready to pounce on them for hand-to-hand combat once the Mongol army broke through the pikeman.
The roars of the officers were everywhere in the army: the commander has an order, but anyone who dares to retreat in the front row and others can be killed immediately!
The whole army was shocked, such an order meant that no matter what kind of losses they suffered, then it meant that no matter what, they could not retreat, and if they retreated, it also meant that their colleagues behind them could kill them immediately.
After thinking about this, everyone cheered up and clenched the weapons in their hands.
At this time, the earth began to tremble under the gallop of thousands of Mongolian iron horses, and the hideous Mongolian soldiers were getting closer and closer.
Fire! Xing Fang silently calculated the distance between the Mongolian soldiers in front of him and the artillery position, and it was not until these Mongolian soldiers who were running wildly that they ran thirty steps in front of the formation that Xing Fang struggled to wave the small flag in his hand.
The gunners, who had already prepared, slammed their torches against the fire door almost simultaneously
Looking at the new infantry of the Mongolian army that was retreating towards the back like a tide, Gao Huaiyuan waved his big hand forward and shouted: Liu Desheng! Lead the cavalry in pursuit!
After Liu Desheng saw the Chinese army flag waving and conveying the order for him to attack, he raised the long knife in his hand, used all his strength, and shouted to the cavalry in front of him: Get on the horse! Kill the Tartars!
Kill! The five hundred cavalrymen who had been drawn from the various armies and put together temporarily were also infected by the atmosphere in front of them, raised their weapons together, followed Liu Desheng and roared hard, and then turned over and jumped on their respective horses, and the generals in front of the Chinese army immediately gave them a passage.
Just when the new annexed army was about to rush to the position of the Song army's central army, Batu also led his cavalry to kill the two wings of the Song army, although they also suffered several rounds of Song army's bow and crossbow salvo interception, but this level of firing, for their long-term Mongolian cavalry, is nothing, most of the soldiers even if they are hit by one or two arrows, as long as they do not hurt the vital point, they are still all right, continue to urge the war horse to rush forward.
The infantry in the central position took over the heavy artillery fire for them, and these Mongolian cavalry basically did not encounter any more artillery bombardment, so they became emboldened, and one by one they whistled and waved the weapons in their hands, and frantically rushed towards the two wings of the Song army.
Batu can finally rest assured, he also saw that as long as they rushed to the front of the Song army, then the terrible firearms of the Chinese army would not dare to fire at them again, at this moment he seemed to see victory waving at him, a large number of Song army's heads were cut off by them one after another, so he also kept shouting and killing behind the team, urging his soldiers to rush forward, although the crowd was crowded here, but he believed that as long as they could withstand a certain loss, Then they could completely defeat this hateful Song army, and he felt that there was nothing to worry about about this. 6
The Mongolian cavalry at the front put away the horn bow they had just fired, and pulled out the scimitar at their waists, and there was a rejection horse laid by the Song army in front of them, but at this time, the Mongolian cavalry in front of them regarded it as nothing, and they all rushed to the moment before the rejection of the horse, and the horse jumped with them one after another.
The Song officers and soldiers in the front row had just borne the bows and arrows of the Mongolian cavalry when they rushed in, but fortunately they were all covered with armor, although many people were hit by arrows, but under the protection of the armor, they did not shoot too deep, only a few people were unlucky, they were immediately shot at the vital point, and fell on the side of the horse, and the rest continued to watch nervously as the Mongolian cavalry rushed closer and closer.
Stab! The Mongolian cavalry at the front jumped up with their horses and wanted to jump over the rejection of the horses, and rushed into the Song army's formation, and the officers of the first row of pikemen clenched the spears in their hands and stabbed forward with all their might, and at the same time let out a cry from their mouths.
The pikemen in the first row squeezed all their strength at his roar, and at the same time stabbed their spears out in front of the horse, and stabbed their spears with all their might, regardless of whether there was an enemy in front of them.
The belly of the horse that jumped high immediately became the best target for the pikemen, and only to hear the sound of a spear entering the body before the rejection of the horse, these first Mongol cavalry who crossed the rejection did not wait to land, and they all fell to the mournful sound of the horse.
Some Mongolian cavalry obviously did not jump high enough horses, and as a result, even the people and horses were directly hung on this row of rejecting horses, and the sharp stakes pierced the war horses, and even the cavalry standing on horseback was also worn on the sharp wood of the rejecting horses, but there were still a lot of Mongolian cavalry and their war horses jumped over this rejection of horses, but unfortunately the pikemen of the Song army brought them fatal injuries, and many war horses and Mongolian cavalry were stabbed through the body on the spot, but even so, The Song spearmen could not completely stop them from jumping over the rejection of the horses, so these Mongolian cavalry immediately knocked away a lot of Song army spearmen, and after the heavily damaged war horses kicked and struggled to land, they finally overturned with a bang, and also overwhelmed some Song army pikemen, only to hear a scream from the rejection line.
The Mongol cavalry was indeed very brave, and with their superb skills, before the horses fell, they jumped off their horses, dodged the spears that stabbed at them, and brandished their sharp scimitars to cut down the Song spearmen standing beside them.
There are also Mongolian cavalry who don't have time to lift their horses and jump up, and as a result, the war horses can't stop, and they crash directly into the rejection of the horse, and the rejection of the horse that is temporarily put together with iron nails, how can it withstand the violent impact of the weight of hundreds of catties of people and horses, when even if some of the rejection horses were knocked apart, but these cavalry who hit the rejection of the horse were also nailed to the sharpened wood of the rejection horse.
At this moment, this battle entered the real peak, and the first Mongolian cavalry then rushed into the two wings of the Song army.
Although the Mongolian cavalry who fell off the horse were very fierce, the Song army did not leave them too many opportunities to show their skills, they often just straightened their bodies, and the Song army in the second row put down their spears, and stabbed at the Mongolian cavalry in front of them in the sound of the officer's order.
The two armies engaged in an extremely bloody battle on both flanks, and almost every second, soldiers from both sides fell in pools of blood.
The Mongolian cavalry broke into the two wings of the Song army in waves, compressing the Song army's line, and began to sink deep into the middle, but what made the Mongolian cavalry desperate was that the Song army still maintained a relatively neat formation under their fierce impact, and did not begin to collapse as they imagined. Each of them gritted their teeth and never stopped.
The Mongolian cavalry crashed into each other, but they still failed to break through the Song army's defense line as they wished, but their men were more and more crowded together, unable to continue to move forward and maintain a high-speed impact, so the Mongolian soldiers finally realized that something was wrong.
As cavalrymen, they all understand that the source of their strength comes from the speed of their horses, and if the horses cannot maintain their speed and are delayed, then they are nothing.
Under the supervision of the Song army officers, one by one the Song troops were cut down to the ground by the Mongolian cavalry, but more Song troops swarmed again, in this case, the advantage of the Mongolian soldiers has disappeared, there are spears or waist knives at their side at any time to greet them, as long as they are not careful, they will be immediately pulled off the war horse, waiting for them is the falling knives
There was another loud bang in the sky, and the large area of the new annexed army that had just rushed to the front of the Song army was like hitting a stone wall, and the brushes were blasted into rotten flesh and scattered on the ground, and a soldier of the new annexed army felt that his face was sticky, and he involuntarily reached out and touched it, but then looked at the palm of his hand, but it was half of a person's intestines, and suddenly all his confidence collapsed instantly, he threw away the knife in his hand, and fled back like crazy.
More of the soldiers of the new annex army could no longer bear this bloody slaughter at this time, and they all turned around together and fled to the back, and the Mongolian soldiers in the army who controlled them were also bombarded in the front row at this time, and no one could stop their defeat, and the remaining soldiers of the new annex army only hated their father and mother for giving them two legs, and fled frantically in the direction of the mysterious weapons far away from these terrible Song army.
Load! Hurry up and reload, scattershot! Free fire! Xing Fang waved the order flag in his hand desperately, and finally even the order flag was thrown out by him, and shouted to the musketeers who were responsible for protecting these artillery: What are you waiting for? Fire!
