Chapter 82: Changing Formations

He watched in a daze as his own cavalry scurried in front of the two armies and began to rush towards his own formation like headless flies, and it took him a while to wake up under the call of his own soldiers. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Checkmate! The general's own soldiers saw that Batu seemed to be stunned, and hurried over and whispered to him.

Well?!! How fast! Gather them and put them in the back team to rest! Batu came to his senses and quickly ordered.

Immediately, someone rushed out and began to gather these frightened cavalrymen, and after a long period of busy work, they finally gathered Qi Yan and the remnants of the more than 100 cavalry under his command to the rear and let them dismount and rest.

As soon as Qi Yan got off the horse, he collapsed on the ground, even his most beloved horse lance, just now I don't know where it was lost, thinking about the scene he turned his head to see just now, Qi Yan actually cried loudly, his hands involuntarily trembled violently, and he hugged his head, and since then I believe that the first bullet shock patient in this world has appeared, and no one can expect him to be able to rush into battle and kill like before.

And the soldiers who escaped back by luck like him, many of them were also frightened, most of these people were also like the first batch of people who went into battle, they were so frightened that they lost their bows, sat behind the array and shivered, and some of them couldn't help but lie on the ground and vomit violently like the Song soldiers.

Batu didn't know what to do for a while, because he didn't know how to deal with this terrible weapon, and although the terrain here was relatively wide, it was far from wide enough for them to use their horsemanship to their heart's content, detouring from several directions, and launching an attack on the Song army at the same time, and they could not have avoided the bombardment of the terrible weapons arranged by the Song army when they attacked.

At this time, one of Batu's lieutenants finally came up with a way for him, and a subordinate general who was also violently shocked came over and suggested to Batu: General, otherwise, I think it is better to let the new annexed army raise a shield and rush over to resist the enemy's firearms, and then we will attack from both flanks at the same time, as long as we can break through any part of the two wings of the Song army, then we still have the possibility of victory! Anyway, those auxiliary troops are also consuming food if they are kept, I don't know the general

Batu heard the reminder of this subordinate, and couldn't help but feel a sudden hole in his heart, now he really has no better way, he doesn't know how many people will be killed by the terrible weapon of the Song army if his whole army presses up, but he knows that if it causes chaos, even if his whole army presses up, it will eventually collapse immediately, and now if he withdraws his troops, he can save the lives of his soldiers and horses, but if he flees back in such a gray manner, then what is the difference between him and Nahai and Hailasu?

Well! OK! Let all the new annexes come to the front, raise their big shields and push them side by side, and clear out those rejecting horses! Batu immediately agreed to his man's proposal, and immediately ordered.

Those new annexes were lined up behind the formation just now, although they heard the shouts and screams from the front, as well as the rumbling roar, but most people did not see the battle situation in front, only knew that the two shocks were repelled by the Song army, and they suffered a lot of losses, when they heard the order, these new annexes quickly packed up their armor, and followed their officers to the front of the queue, at this time they saw the corpse of the Song army lying in front of the formation, I couldn't help but be shocked.

Knife and axe hand step forward! Shield! Although the officers of the new annex army are reluctant, they can only obey the orders of their masters at the moment, otherwise, what awaits them, they themselves know that not only they will be killed, but also their families and children will be punished and slaughtered, so they can only be obedient and do what their masters tell them, even if there is a fire pit in front of them, they have no right to choose whether to jump or not.

Fifteen hundred new annexed troops lined up in a large phalanx, with shield bearers in front, began to slowly start under the urging of the sound of bull horns, and began to walk towards the Song army's large array.

Gao Huaiyuan has been watching the situation of the Mongolian army coldly, the power of the artillery today has strengthened his confidence that he can completely defeat this Mongolian army, what he has to do now is to block the impact of the Mongolian army first, and then wave the army to counterattack until this Mongolian army is wiped out.

Seeing that the Mongolian army changed its tactics again, replaced a group of infantry formations, and pushed towards Song Junping, the corners of Gao Huaiyuan's mouth showed a slight smile.

Hum! The Tartars are already exhausted! As long as we defeat these infantry, we can fight back! Gao Huaiyuan pointed at the infantry formation of the Mongolian army pushed over in front of him with a horsewhip, and said to the generals around him.

After the generals saw the sharpness of the artillery, they had already become full of confidence at this time, they didn't expect to defeat the Mongolian cavalry twice in a row so easily today, so they all became much more optimistic at this time, at this time hearing Gao Huaiyuan say this, none of them expressed the slightest doubt, and nodded excitedly in agreement.

Seeing that the Mongol army had once again sent infantry troops, Xing Fang endured the pain in his right arm, waved a small flag, ordered to be loaded with solid bullets, and ordered two medium-caliber copper cannons to set the range at a distance of 700 paces.

Although this will definitely lose its accuracy and be much less powerful than the artillery at this time, who cares about this? Because these Mongol Tartars stupidly discharged such a dense infantry formation at this time, instead of continuing to send their cavalry, then dealing with such a slow-moving infantry army, it doesn't matter where the shells land, basically it can be said that a dozen and one will always be blinded by a few unlucky guys.

The two medium-caliber bronze cannons were operated by the gunners to raise their muzzles and point forward, and Xing Fang once again continued to report the distance of the enemy troops, and immediately ordered the artillery to be opened after the Mongol infantry entered the firing range.

Two bronze cannons were ignited, and two black projectiles landed in the middle of the enemy with a sound of bursting air.

A cannonball landed impartially in front of the enemy column, and then, under the rebound from the ground, jumped up and crashed into the Mongolian column.

A soldier of the newly attached army raised the big shield in his hand vigorously, trying to resist this terrible thing, but he really didn't understand that a wooden shield like his hand was basically not much different from paper paste in front of a cannonball, that is, it could play a comforting role.

After the cannonball bounced, it just concentrated the large shield of the new attached soldier, and then the large shield turned into fragments, and flew into the dense formation behind it with the broken limbs of the soldier.
