"Mongol Sentinel." The left wing of the Tianwu Army waited for Tang Zhen to look at Wang Jin beside him.

(Author's note: Tang Zhen, in the official history of Raozhou Zhizhou, Jiangnan West Road, after the fall of Xiangyang, mobilized the local people to stick to the city, even if the surrounding Xing** and other state capitals all surrendered, still tenacious and unyielding, the city broke and died, and then Zhang Shijie recovered Raozhou when he collected the bones and buried it, until his death Tang Zhen still held the official seal of Raozhou to show that he lived with the city, sad and lamentable)

"It's already the fifth batch, right?" Wang Jin frowned and asked, "But just after walking seven or eight miles, there are already five batches of Mongolian sentinels, which is really strange." ”

Tang Zhen couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Maybe not far ahead, the Mongolian Tartars are already waiting for us to send them to the door." ”

Wang Jin glanced at his deputy, different from Du Yu Hou Yin Yu in the front compartment of the Tianwu Army, in fact, Tang Zhen is an out-and-out civil official, but this civilian official is also quite capable, at least he is not ambiguous at all in assisting Wang Jin in getting some food and salary, and he is also a rare and quite capable person.

Maybe Ye Yingwu sent Tang Zhen to the left wing of the Tianwu Army to serve as Du Yuhou, instead of being a civilian official in the local county, but also wanted him to accumulate some political achievements and experience more quickly, so that he could be entrusted with important tasks.

Wang Jin did not dare to underestimate Tang Zhen's judgment, and Wang Jin, who was faintly in his heart, also had this ominous premonition. But it stands to reason that the Mongolian infantry cavalry should now be stepping up their attack on the Yingzhou Navy Division's camp, why did they encounter the Mongolian infantry brigade south of Suizhou.

Unless······

Wang Jin and Tang Zhen's faces were a little gloomy, unless the Yingzhou sailors were easily defeated by the Mongol Tatars, so these Mongols had the ability to calmly come south after resting enough, ready to eat this Song army that was a little rash to the north.

A sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, and Wang Jin said softly: "Our sentry cavalry has also been sent out, and we want to see what tricks these Mongolian Tatars can play." ”

The left wing of the Tianwu Army has been hidden in the rear by Ye Yingwuxue, and it is even very "humiliating" to dissolve to help the people open up the wasteland, which makes many left wing soldiers very depressed, and now they finally have the opportunity to kill, so they naturally rush to be the first one by one.

It wasn't just the two hundred light horsemen attached to the left wing that went out. Even the foot scouts were on the move, and with their small firearms such as light crossbows and firetops, the small Mongol sentinels could not do anything to them.

"Orders are given, and they should not be taken lightly. To the front, you have to look at the old Tang here. Wang Jin instructed the heralds, "Especially pay attention to the back road, now that the Han River is frozen, if we are surrounded." There is not even the possibility of retreating from the water. ”

"When did you get so nagging?" Tang Zhen teased, "This is not the style of the dignified Tianwu Army's left wing commanding General Wang Jinwang. ”

"Don't talk so much nonsense, if something happens, I'll ask you!" Wang Jin said with a cold face, Tang Zhen was actually on the battlefield for the first time, so for him to be very relaxed, Wang Jin could still understand that no matter how difficult it was before, the Tianwu Army had not missed.

But Wang Jin knew very well that this time the Mongolian Tatars were obviously not easy to deal with, and no matter how bad the Yingzhou Navy Division was, the warship camp was there. If the Yingzhou Navy Division can be defeated, then this Mongolian infantry will definitely be strong.

This can be seen from the fact that their sentry cavalry even dared to advance to a distance of only a few hundred zhang from the Song army before retreating.

"Tartar cavalry, thousands!" A Song army sentry rider who had just gone out suddenly turned back, "Coming directly towards the Chinese army!" ”

Tang Zhen, who originally didn't take the Mongols to heart, was shocked, and immediately understood the intention of this Mongolian thousand-man team, as long as he could cut off the left flank of the Tianwu Army, he could break them individually. Scattered foot soldiers are definitely easier to deal with than foot soldiers who are close together to form a formation.

However, if you want to break the left wing with a team of 1,000 people, it is too big! Tang Zhen waved his hand violently, and the foot soldiers of the two capitals quickly expanded their depth, while the auxiliary soldiers behind had already begun to assist the heavily armored soldiers in putting on the infantry armor.

The crossbowmen reacted just as quickly. The assault musketeers followed closely behind, and the Song sergeants in rows and rows were neatly aligned and not chaotic at all. All of this was done in an instant, and the elite of the left wing of the Tianwu Army could be seen.

The combat style of the non-commissioned officer has a lot to do with the commander. Jiang Hao has always taken the lead in rushing to the front, so the front compartment of the Tianwu Army is definitely the most ferocious and aggressive in combat; And Zhang Cheng and Zhang Shun both commanded to be more stable and cautious, and the right wing of the Tianwu Army was also the same as the battle, as long as you can't break through my formation, you can toss it; But Wang Jin is different, saying that he is radical. But he can't compare to Jiang Hao, saying that he is steady, but he can't compare to Zhang Cheng, which also makes the left wing of the Tianwu Army not have a feeling of going to extremes, but the golden mean.

It can be attacked and defended, can advance or retreat, and can be retracted and released freely, this is the most distinctive feature of the left wing of the Tianwu army, and it is also why Ye Yingwu sent the left wing to take the riskiest road, because he knew that even if Wang Jin was difficult to contain the Mongolian infantry cavalry, he could bring people back safely.

Tang Zhen, who suddenly wanted to understand this, had to sigh that the envoy was the envoy in the end, and the world said that the envoy had the talent of Bole and knew all the horses. This is true.

The Mongolian thousand-man team also seemed to find that the Song army in front of them was not easy to provoke, and the speed of the horse gradually slowed down, like a pack of wolves on the grassland, looking at the opponent unhurriedly, waiting for the opponent to show his flaws or timidity at any time before launching a fatal blow.

Tang Zhen squinted slightly, not panicked at all, it was difficult to see that he was actually just a scholar who had entered the battlefield for the first time, but like a mature commander who had been on the battlefield for many years. This Mongol cavalry was obviously very powerful, not only did they enforce the ban as if they were one person, but they also controlled the horses with ease. What's more, they have a very accurate grasp of the range of the Song Army's bow and crossbow, and they have been wandering around the places where the Divine Arm Crossbow can hit but even if it hits, it has no effect.

It's like constantly challenging Song Jun's patience.

It's just that they seem to have found the wrong opponent, Tang Zhen looked at the wandering Mongolian cavalry with great interest, while Wang Jin was methodically commanding the sentry cavalry in front to probe around. Now it seems that there is only this Mongolian thousand-man team around.

"Could it be the Mongolian Tatars bluffing?" Wang Jin frowned and rode back, "Don't say that the radius is twenty miles, it is thirty miles, except for a few Mongolian sentinels, there is only this thousand-person team, we have 15,000 people, we can't be restrained here like this." ”

"Wang, do you mean ······?" Tang Zhen was also moved in his heart, "The Yingzhou Sailor is still supporting it." So the Mongol Tartars had no choice but to lay out a suspicious plan and send a large number of sentry cavalry and such a relatively capable cavalry to try to prevent us from going north? ”

Wang Jin couldn't help but smile bitterly: "There is really this possibility, otherwise it will be an ambush." You can't set up an ambush circle fifty miles away from the bait. ”

Tang Zhen also frowned: "That Tartar is really trying to do it this time, how can we know if it's true or not?" Is it possible to try to attack? ”

Wang Jin waved his hand: "If you attack, I'm afraid you will fall into the hands of others." If this Mongolian team of 1,000 people is holding us back, they must be ready, and they dare to bet. As long as this side moves, this thousand-man team will definitely do its best to delay time, and whether they can get out at that time is not something you and I can predict. ”

"That ······"

"Regardless of them, let's go ours!" Wang Jin smiled calmly, "If you force them to send them to the door themselves, I don't believe that these Mongolian Tatars will watch 15,000 enemies swagger north." Pay attention to the back road and the Chinese army, she won't be able to turn up any big waves! ”

Tang Zhen nodded, and several heralds behind him had already quickly gone down to order. And Wang Jin smiled and rubbed his hands: "Old Tang, you go to the front and stare at it, you haven't opened meat for a long time." Since these ignorant Tartars have been sent to the door, they can't be better! ”

Knowing that Wang Jin didn't want to let himself take the risk of facing the Mongolian cavalry, after all, it was the first time to go to the battlefield, Tang Zhen did not hesitate, nodded solemnly, and went to the front. The striker has always maintained an engaging posture, so as long as the commander of the Mongol cavalry is not stupid, he will not lead people to rush to the front.

A sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, Wang Jin fixed his eyes on the Mongolian thousand-man team that was a little flustered because of the Song army's advance again, and let the horse come over if he had the ability, so he wanted to take a look. What tricks can you play?

————————————

The smoke is still rising.

Yang Bao and Wang Li couldn't help but chuckle in their confidence. There was no sound of fighting in front of him, only the dilapidated camp remained, but the sky-high fire blurred everything, making it impossible to see whether there were figures coming and going.

However, there are several buildings and boats on the Han River. I don't know if it's sinking slowly, or if it's still barely resisting.

Is it just a step too late, if so, it is really unfair!

It seems that there is no interest in this infantry brigade of the Song army, which has more than 30,000 people, and there are not even Mongolian sentinels around, so that Yang Bao and Wang Lixin can hardly judge whether there are still Song army sailors and soldiers in the camp resisting.

Until the foot soldiers of the brigade appeared like a tide in the sky. The busy Mongol cavalry inside and outside the camp had only come to their senses, but their reaction was also very fast, and the five or six thousand cavalry were soon divided into two teams, intending to find out the strength of the comers.

And more than 10,000 foot soldiers are in a hurry.

It's getting closer!

The Mongolian trebuchet on the other side of the Han River is still roaring, and the Song Army's naval division warships on the Han River are still unyieldingly dodging the stone bullets falling from the sky, and fighting back!

Yang Bao and Wang Lixin breathed a sigh of relief almost at the same time, and although the Yingzhou Sailor suffered heavy losses, he was still resisting stubbornly. The land camps may have been lost, but their ships are still pouring arrows.

"Well done!" Yang Bao couldn't help but sigh.

And Wang Lixin was already indescribably excited, like a desperately hungry desert traveler seeing a real sweet spring.

The sound of horses' hooves made the two of them have to face the reality first, although there are only five or six thousand cavalry, but these mongols who look hideous under the black banner make Yang Bao, who is crawling and rolling on the battlefield again and again, can't help but take a breath lightly:

"The cavalry of the Mongolian headquarters, this time Ah Shu is really a big deal!"

Although he didn't know the cavalrymen in black armor and black war horses in front of him, when he heard the word "headquarters", Rao is Wang Lixin had gone through too many ups and downs in his life, but at this time, he couldn't help but have a twitch on his face.

Ah Shu really looks up to them!

"The middle army of the Tianwu Army, line up and tell these Tartars, let's kill all the way from Qizhou to Suizhou, it's not easy to mess with!" Yang Bao shouted coldly, although there were only 10,000 Chinese soldiers, he didn't have the slightest intention of retreating.

What bullshit Mongolian headquarters cavalry. Lao Tzu still beats you all over the ground looking for teeth!

Hearing Yang Bao mention the glorious battle of the Tianwu Army not long ago, the soldiers below are already enthusiastic, let's kill from thousands of troops, is it possible that we are still afraid of your thousands of cavalry. I really laughed off my big teeth.

One after another large shields slammed into the ground, and spears poked out from the gaps between the shields, like poisonous snakes that could take people's lives at any time. And the crossbowmen and assault musketeers stood behind the shields in a row, their faces calm not like people, but more like killing machines!

The Chinese army of the Tianwu Army didn't care at all about the 20,000 soldiers stationed in Ezhou who had changed their faces greatly. Without you, Lao Tzu would go into battle to kill the enemy.

Wang Lixin's face was a little unbearable, and those commanders and Yu Hou who were just barely recovered by him couldn't hold their faces, as long as they were a little bloody and had a little face, there was no reason to retreat at this time, especially the friendly troops who had always looked down on them had been waiting for them. I don't know who took the first step, and the Ezhou garrison soldiers who exceeded the number of troops in the middle army of the Tianwu Army quickly lined up.

Maybe the formation is not so neat, or maybe there are still many people looking around and ready to run away, but at least in terms of momentum, it is not weaker than the Tianwu Army.

The central army of the Tianwu Army is in the south, and the troops stationed in Ezhou are in the north. Stopped two Mongolian elite horsemen respectively.

The Mongolian cavalry had silently taken out their bows and arrows at a distance still far away, but they had not shot at all, but the crossbowmen among the soldiers stationed in Ezhou did not calm down, and many people pulled the trigger first because they were nervous.

The arrows fell helplessly in front of the Mongolian cavalry, causing the cavalry to burst into laughter. The Southern Barbarians are so cowardly, and they are still so far away, thinking that their divine arm crossbow is omnipotent, it is really ridiculous.

Yang Bao also frowned, but didn't say anything.

The Mongol cavalry was getting closer and closer, and the formation of the soldiers stationed in Ezhou was becoming more and more chaotic. The prairie athletes, who were galloping on horseback, picked up an arrow at the same time. Then shoot your bow as fast as you can, and shoot!

Almost at the same time, all the crossbowmen in the Song army pulled the trigger.

The Mongol cavalry was like a tide touching an invisible reef, and not only did they bow down. And it quickly spread out to both sides.

Seeing these Mongolian headquarters cavalry changing formations so quickly, Wang Lixin's face changed again and again, while Yang Bao breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, I have fought with you before, this kind of combat method has been expected.

The first batch of arrows of the Song army was not aimed in one direction, and the crossbowmen of the soldiers stationed in Ezhou naturally aimed at the front. The crossbowmen of the Tianwu Army were aimed at the side of the Mongolian cavalry, and when the arrows shot by most of the Ezhou soldiers were dodged by the Mongolian cavalry, the arrows shot by the Tianwu soldiers roared and tore the flesh in front of them!

The crossbowmen of the Tianwu Army shoot horses, not people! No matter how low you are, you can't make the horses lower in height, and without the horses, these cavalry are nothing. In an instant, Yang Bao and the crossbowmen of the Tianwu Army's rich battlefield experience and the hard and high-intensity training on weekdays had already decided the fate of that Mongolian cavalry!

Just like the wind blowing wheat waves, half of the 3,000 Mongolian cavalry in the south fell down in an instant because of arrows from their horses, and the people behind had no time to dodge, so they had to trample on their robes.

As for the 3,000 Mongol cavalry in the north, only a dozen were shot by arrows, and the casualties were negligible.

At the same time, the arrows fired by the Mongolian cavalry had also broken through the air, and it seemed that although the Song army in the north was numerous, it was actually vulnerable, so these arrows were aimed at the array of Ezhou garrisons.

The arrows roared, and the shield hand, who was not fully in place, had no time to shield the killing intent for the soldiers around him.

"Heavy armor, up!" Yang Bao can't take care of the friendly army anymore, there are still more than a thousand Mongolian cavalry left, and they can rush to the front in a moment!

The shield parted, and hundreds of heavily armored men armed with great axes marched forward with heavy steps. And the Mongolian cavalry also knew that this was the last pass that could stop them, and while secretly rejoicing in their hearts, they also sat up straight from their horses, and their sabers were raised high.

However, their calculations were miscalculated, and one of the commandos placed the assault rifle on the shoulder of the heavily armored soldier in front of them, igniting the short-range but powerful firearm.

To everyone's surprise, for no Song army had ever tried to make the most precious assault musketeers break out of the shield and the protection of the horse repulsor. And now Yang Bao did it with the middle army of the Tianwu Army, because the soldiers of the Tianwu Army believed that the heavily armored soldiers in front had the ability to protect them and then retreat.

The dense barrage smashed down on the face, and several heavily armored soldiers roared at the same time, and the armored soldiers holding the giant axe went straight forward!

On the other side, the heavily armored soldiers stationed in Ezhou rushed out of their shields, and the Mongol cavalry calmly tore through their porous defenses, and then, like a gust of wind, burst through the gaps in the shields that had not yet been closed.

The sparse repulsion rifles behind the shields had no way to cover the crossbowmen, and the only ones who could stop the Mongol cavalry were the flesh and blood of the lightly armored soldiers.

It's the same engagement, but the two sides are very different. The Mongolian cavalry smashed their heads and bled in the middle of the Tianwu Army, while the soldiers stationed in Ezhou were majestic. The formation of the entire Ezhou soldiers was already in chaos.

For the foot soldiers defending the cavalry assault, the formation is out of order, and it is no different from a rout! (To be continued.) )
