PS: Qingming Festival and friends in Zhenjiang for two days, Beigu Mountain, Jinshan, Jiaoshan, but also paid a visit to our science and engineering ancestor Shen Kuo's Mengxi Garden and the tomb of the Northern Song Dynasty calligrapher Mi Fu, the field investigation found that although Beigu Mountain and the imagination deviated, but at least in the description of Zhenjiang before the novel there is still not much geographical obvious error (here complacent). I am very touched by the fact that I have not forgotten the support for my little brother during the Qingming Festival, and I would like to express my gratitude.

Under the city of Qizhou.

A light horse galloped through the wilderness, and did not want to enter the city, although this Qizhou city had been almost deserted as early as the last Huangzhou War, and there was not a single banner of the Song army in sight on the city, nor even a figure.

The city gate was open in the morning light, and the sunlight poured through the city gate on the street, and if you stood at the city gate, you could clearly see the empty and uninhabited street inside. Even the common liquor flags and shop signs are not served.

It's as if this is an abandoned city, and it's as if there are many murderous motives hidden in it. Although the light horses galloping outside the city have no banners, as long as a discerning person understands that there can be such a light horse outside the wilderness abandoned city frequented by these five people, and they are all Mongolian bantam horses, except for the Mongolian Tartar itself, who else can there be?

This sentry cavalry of 100 people has already run around the city, not only does it seem that there are no guards in Qizhou City, but even there is no Song army sailor on the river. In the last battle of Huangzhou, Mongolia suffered a loss, and Lu Xiufu led the sailors to kill Qizhou directly, cutting off a back road for Mongolia.

The river is mighty, and the waves are numerous. The green hills on the other side were faint, and there was some fog on the river, and it was not even clear whether there was still the flag of the Song army there.

"Let's go into town." The Mongol centurion, who was in doubt, gritted his teeth and pointed to the city gate.

Doesn't it mean that a Song army has already landed in Qizhou, why has it not been seen so far. If it is ambushed in this Qizhou city, then even if he fights for his life, he will have to find out to the subsequent brothers.

After all, thousands of people came south alone, how could they not be cautious.

The Mongol scout cavalry was immediately divided into four teams and entered the city through the four gates of Qizhou, which originally had only five gates. And then there is the Water Gate. Except for the city gate facing north, there is an urn city, and there is not even an urn city, but after all, it is the capital of Jiangbei Prefecture, and it is close to the river. So there is still a moat.

It's just that the drawbridge over the moat has already been lowered, and I don't know if I didn't want to pull it up at all when I retreated, or ?????? The Mongolian centurion subconsciously shivered, but at this time, the orders were given, and he had no possibility of hesitation or hesitation. A sneer tugged at the corner of his mouth. He urged the war horse under his crotch to enter the city straight through the south gate.

Watching the Mongolian scouts enter the city, several Song army scouts on a hillside in the distance were dressed in morning dew, but they all had happy smiles on their faces. It's good to go into the city, I'm not afraid that you will enter the city, but I'm afraid that you will wander around in this wilderness!

"Let's go, go and report to the general!" The ten generals who took the lead beckoned to their companions, and a few figures quickly disappeared into the wild grass.

————————————————————————

"Kill!" The Mongolian centurion who led the team waved his knife and pointed forward.

The sword flashed, and the Mongolian Han infantry of the brigade lined up in a loose line and rushed towards the gentle slope. In addition, there are more than 100 people who carry simple siege weapons such as long and short ladders to deal with small camps like those on gentle slopes. A ladder is sufficient.

The trebuchets on both sides began to shoot at each other first, and the huge stones roared and hit the camp of the Song army, even if it was an earthen wall, it would collapse a little if it was hit by this stone bullet. However, fortunately, there were not many trebuchets brought by Mongolia, and the Song army's trebuchets and bed crossbows were eyeing each other, so they didn't dare to step forward too much, and they were already thankful that they could touch the earthen wall of the Song army's camp.

More stones hit the gentle slope and eventually rolled down helplessly.

"Shoot the arrows!" A detachment of Mongol hundred-man cavalry suddenly swept from the front of the formation. The bow that had already been opened was like a full moon, and the "bang bang bang" sounded in a row, and dense arrows whistled past the walls of the camp.

For these Mongol cavalrymen, it was not important to shoot the soldiers on the walls of the camp. It was important to suppress the soldiers behind the walls who operated bed crossbows and trebuchets. I didn't expect that the Mongolian infantry had already launched an attack, and the cavalry still had the courage to come in front of such a hand, and the Song army who held the camp was taken aback, but it was too late, and there were screams behind them, and many soldiers who had no time to dodge were killed and wounded under the scattered arrows falling from the sky.

"Bed crossbow, god arm crossbow. You are not allowed to be polite, and you are not allowed to say hello to death! The head of the capital suddenly turned red, picked up the crossbow of the god arm, and pulled the trigger.

The Song soldiers who were caught off guard were even more angry, and their own Du Yu Hou was watching the main village not far behind him, just now he was embarrassed, if he couldn't kill these Mongolian foot soldiers who didn't know whether they were screaming or screaming in front of him, how could the brothers raise their heads in front of the robes of the other capitals in the future?

The bed crossbow was the first to start roaring, and then the Song army's bow and crossbow showed strong lethality, and the Mongolian soldiers who rushed to the front almost fell in the face of the arrows, if it weren't for the loose formation and the shield hand still rushed in front, I'm afraid that this first batch of 100 people would be directly explained in the rain of arrows.

The thick arrows carved a bloody path through the crowd and pierced in front of the last Mongol soldiers. The soldier looked up in a cold sweat, and there were still people near and far around who were desperately rushing upward, but his front was already empty.

It has already cut through the attacking formation.

The Song army's camp was so small that it could only fit two soldiers, but relying on the gentle slope and the camp, it was enough for them to block the attack of hundreds of people. Squad after team of Mongolian cavalry galloped quickly under the gentle slope, and the only one who could compete with the powerful crossbows of the Song army was the Mongol cavalry that conquered the world, making up for the lack of bows and crossbows by moving quickly.

"Go on!" The Mongol commander, who commanded the attack, gritted his teeth without the slightest hesitation, and two more centurions were thrown directly into the impact.

With the previous lesson, although there were many more Mongolian cavalry mounted and shot than last time, the losses of the Song army were minimal, and there were even crossbowmen who relied on the cover of the earthen wall to shoot at the Mongolian cavalry, which made several Mongolian cavalry scream and fall off their horses.

"Assault rifle!" Song Jundu smiled coldly, he didn't let you taste the taste of the assault rifle just now, but he had already guessed that there must be more people you sent this time.

If a few months of training is not enough for the front of the Tianwu Army to be able to be ten in the field, but it is more than enough in this defensive battle. The commanding generals gave orders to use assault rifles, not just assault muskets. Rather, all firearms can be used with a self-assault musket.

The fire thistle terrestris and earth-shaking thunder were directly thrown down by the Song soldiers who had been waiting for a long time, and the explosions on the gentle slope rose and fell one after another, but the Mongolian soldiers were taken aback by this kind of firearms common to the Song army. After all, they've never seen anyone dare to throw this guy out with their hands.

However, the Tianwu Army did it.

Not even waiting for the assault to strike. The attacking Mongol Han infantry had already run down the hillside with a shout, and did not seem to take them seriously, and the Song army in the camp directly ignored the great opportunity of the enemy to show his back, and did not release a single arrow.

There was a thin soldier who jumped on the wall, laughing, and on the chaotic Mongolian cavalry.

"Little Yoko, you're so short. Don't take it from here, don't say that the wind is ten miles away, I'm afraid it's not ten inches! Those guys run fast, you can't pee! A ten-year general joked with a smile, the voice was very loud, and it came with the wind, obviously not only for the Song soldiers in the camp, but also for the Mongolian infantry at the foot of the hillside.

Suddenly, the faces of several Mongolian commanders and centurions in charge of the command turned red, and they shouted one after another to lead people to kill the hillside again.

The skinny little Yoko was taken aback, and jumped off the earthen wall before she even had time to lift her pants: "Grandma's came so fast!" ”

In exchange for it, of course, the laughter of the Song soldiers was even more rampant. The next moment, a dense stream of arrows flew out from behind the earthen wall. The Mongol soldiers who rushed up shouting fell in rows.

However, this time no one flinched, and the cavalry galloped directly down the slope despite the fact that their own men were still on the slope, the bowstrings shaking and the arrows whistling.

Song Junshi, who was still laughing just now, was submerged in his chest by the sudden arrow, and suddenly slipped softly with a muffled snort, blood gushed out of the wound, and Xiao Yangzi, who had just been laughed at by his own ten generals, pounced anxiously at this time:

"Chief, how are you?"

The ten generals patted Xiao Yangzi on the shoulder, and blood was already spilling from the corners of his mouth. Whizzing arrows staggered from the heads of the two men. This time, with the help of the cover of their own foot soldiers, the arrows fired by the Mongol cavalry were more intensive, and the Song army began to have casualties.

"Boss! Boss, you have something to say! Tears flowed from the corners of Xiao Yangzi's eyes. The thin hand slammed into the ground.

The ten generals, who were already dying, shook their heads with a wry smile, and they didn't know if this was retribution, they were still alive and well just now, once upon a time, they were speechless, and the unbearable pain spread from the wound to the whole body. Squinting slightly, he wanted to fall asleep in an instant, so much to embrace the darkness.

In Xiao Yangzi's arms, the ten generals closed their eyes, their brows furrowed, as if they were still struggling, and the wall of the supporter with weak hands tried to stand up, but in the end he could only leave two bloody handprints. When he found that he really had no strength and realized that he was going to leave after all, the ten generals didn't know where the perseverance came from, and he suddenly raised his hand and pointed to the flag that was still fluttering.

The next moment, the blood flowed like a torrent, and the person's eyes were closed. The hot tears not only crossed Xiao Yangzi's cheeks, but the soldiers around him who were also under the leadership of the ten generals were full of tears, but people can't be resurrected after death, and the enemy who killed his own ten generals is not far away!

"Kill!" Xiao Yangzi picked up the knife of the ten generals and jumped on the earthen wall again.

The gentle slope was not long, and the Song sergeants were suppressed by the cavalry of the Mongolian cavalry, and this time the Mongolian infantry who charged the whole army had been killed to less than ten zhang. It was too late to wind the Divine Arm Crossbow, and the commander in charge of the command calmly lit the assault rifle in his hand.

Three or four assault muskets rang out at the same time, and the first row of Mongol soldiers fell without saying a word. And more Mongol soldiers continued to shout forward. The battle flag fluttered, and these Mongolian foot soldiers seemed to have gone crazy, rushing forward, continuing to rush forward!

"Kill!" The Tianwu army grabbed the red flags around them one by one and jumped out.

Not only did Xiao Yangzi kill himself, but the head was also there, and several ten generals were also there.

More Song soldiers and soldiers, all in!

The red flag is displayed, and the blood is high!

"Kill—" The soldiers on both sides shouted, like two peerless blades, on this narrow dirt slope and under the wall. Crashed into each other.

"Kill-" Not only the northern slope, but also the attack of the Mongol infantry on the southern slope has also changed from the previous feint attack to a strong attack, and the two sides fought bloody battles up and down the hillside.

Ye Yingwu had to admit it. In this battle, both sides fought too tenaciously, especially the Mongolian infantry cavalry, which was able to launch three consecutive attacks on the northern slopes, which was really unexpected. However, now there is no need to take care of these, and there are two or three thousand Mongolian cavalry that can only fit a few of the Song army camps on both sides, which obviously cannot block such an attack.

"Hundred battles, go out of the city with so!" Ye Yingwu said in a cold voice, "Marquis Yin Yu, you take five thousand men and horses to line up under the camp, and the other two sides of the hillside must be guarded!" ”

"The last general obeys!" Yin Yu didn't dare to slack off, although it was not a good thing for Ye Yingwu to risk himself, but Yin Yu didn't think that he had the ability to stop Ye Yingwu now.

The gate of the valley, which had been tightly closed, suddenly opened, so that the Mongolian cavalry at the mouth of the valley were taken aback. But they were even more shocked by what happened in the aftermath. More than 100 cavalry of the Song Army swept the wind and dust and roared out!

Immediately after that, the 5,000-square-lined Song army strode out of the city and marched straight forward along the valley.

"Withdraw, withdraw!" When I saw the big banner with the word "leaf" in front of me. The Mongol commander, who had been in charge of monitoring the Song army camp in the valley, hurriedly ordered his companions to attack the hill on both sides. There is only one person who is qualified to play the banner of Ye Zi with a hundred cavalry - the commander of the four compartments of the Tianwu Army, Ye Yingwu!

Ye Yingwu turned out to be here!

Not only were the attacking Mongolian infantry cavalry taken aback, but even the Song soldiers on both sides were also stunned, but unlike the cowardice of the Mongolian infantry cavalry, the Song soldiers cheered loudly, and pounced on the opponent again as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, a hundred times more fierce.

The envoy is here. Ye Yuanjun is fighting side by side with them!

The sound of killing shook the sky, and even drowned out the sound of horses' hooves in the hundred battles.

The commander of the Mongolian cavalry frowned: "Ye Yingwu, you are so bold." A hundred cavalry dared to attack Lao Tzu's thousand-man team, but since they came, then they would make you unable to eat and walk around! Give it to Lao Tzu! ”

One left and one right two cavalry hundred-man teams have roared out, they don't need to face the hundred battles head-on, they just need to constantly harass with cavalry from both sides, this trick has been a wolf pack tactic since the time of Genghis Khan. No matter what kind of enemy you are dealing with, it is tried and tested.

However, what surprised them was that the cavalry of the Song army was no more than a hundred, but they did not hesitate to divide into two roads, even along the valley into two roads, each cavalry was holding a crossbow in their hands, and killed directly under the two slopes in the north and south, the crossbow roared, and the arrows were like locusts, instantly drowning the Mongolian infantry who had been killed on the hillside.

Ye Yingwu personally led the cavalry to attack the rear road, and the morale of the Song soldiers who were facing the enemy suddenly skyrocketed, and they forced the Mongolian infantry who had rushed to the wall to retreat step by step.

At the same time, the two Mongolian hundred-man teams that were preparing to attack the Hundred Battles Capital collided head-on with the 5,000 infantry led by Yin Yu.

"Put!" Yin Yu drew his saber, his face was as pale as iron, and he stood still in front of the big array. The generals of the Tianwu Army all knew that the front compartment was commanding Jiang Hao to be good at attacking, and they were all waiting for Yin Yu to be good at guarding, which has always complemented each other, but today Jiang Hao is not there, Ye Yingwu personally rushed to the front, and he Yin Yu can't be a turtle with a shrunken head in the back.

It was said before that he was good at defending, just because he didn't attack!

With Yin Yu's order, the crossbowmen in the array broke out at the same time. Since the southern crossing, the Song army has always made Dajin and Mongolia helpless with their crossbows, and even in some armies, the proportion of crossbowmen can account for sixty percent. Although the 5,000 foot soldiers under Yin Yu's command are not so frenzied, they also have 1,000 crossbowmen.

The dense number of arrows and terrifying accuracy made it possible for less than half of the two Mongol hundred-man teams to be able to ride their horses in a few moments. It's just that in front of them, the snow repelling rifles are already standing there, and the heavily armored soldiers with big axes and foot armor are standing behind the repulsion pistols with blazing eyes, ready to chop everything in front of them into pieces at any time!

The two hundred Mongol cavalry were like mud oxen entering the sea, and they dissipated like this.

"Collect the gun, kill!" Yin Yu sneered and took steps, and the light armor soldiers of the Song Army of the brigade followed him closely, killing towards the outside of the valley.

"I can't do it!" The Mongolian commander can no longer take care of the hundred battles that are making trouble everywhere, and the Song sergeant in front of him of five thousand people has made the two hundred cavalry under his command a corpse in the blink of an eye, which has brought a lot of pressure to the commander, "Sons, kill, let them see the power of the Mongolian iron cavalry to dominate the world!" ”

The iron cavalry flowed sideways, and nearly a thousand cavalry urged the war horses at the same time, like a black cloud sweeping. (To be continued.) )
