The Mongolian team of 1,000 people quickly disappeared from view.

Wang Jin finally breathed a sigh of relief, just let the sentry cavalry keep up from afar, although he really wanted to fight with this Mongolian cavalry that seemed to be strong, but if he could save troops as much as possible, then save troops, after all, there were a total of 15,000 people in the left wing of the Tianwu Army, and Wang Jin was still counting on being able to rely on these people to fight well with Ah Shu.

Although a competent general will not lose hope of victory because he has lost a few hundred men, no one will refuse if he can choose not to lose a few hundred men. Wang Jin is the same.

"There are still no Mongol Tatar cavalry foot soldiers found ahead." Tang Zhen turned around the Chinese army, obviously with not excitement but worry on his face.

The Mongolian cavalry has not been found, if it is still restrained by the Yingzhou sailors, it is a blessing, but there is also a very unfortunate possibility, that is, the Mongolian cavalry is staring closely at this prey that is slowly reaching the mouth in the dark, and then preparing to bite down on the next bite of meat. With the speed of the Mongol cavalry, launching an attack outside the range of the Song army's outpost reconnaissance can still make it difficult for the Song army's foot soldiers to escape.

Wang Jin frowned, did not look at the snowy wasteland in the distance, but looked at the Han River on the other side, which had been frozen all the time, and said slowly: "The front is the same, and another sentry will touch it from here to see how the situation is over there." ”

The direction of Wang Jin's finger was the other side of the Han River, Tang Zhen took a breath lightly, and could only nod helplessly. Anyway, the ice on the Han River is very thick, and although the war horses may have been a little dangerous in the past, there is no problem with people in the past.

"Are you suspicious ・・・・・・"

"The Mongol infantry has already made a detour to the opposite shore to attack the naval camp from land, so there are actually not many people on the north bank. Otherwise, our 15,000-strong brigade will not be able to have only one thousand-strong team to contain it. Wang Jin said coldly, "If this is the case, then our top priority is to rush forward with light troops and go straight to the Mongolian camp on the north bank!" ”

"Light troops?!" Tang Zhen was taken aback. "Isn't it too presumptuous to know the enemy's situation now? In case ・・・・・・"

Wang Jin pursed his lips: "There are too many on the battlefield, since we are here, we must gamble." Otherwise, if the Mongolian infantry is not restrained at that time, if someone is freed up to clean up, then he will really not be able to eat and walk around. This risk must be taken. ”

Tang Zhen didn't argue anymore, after all, it was his first time on the battlefield. Therefore, in terms of these strategic decisions, as long as what Wang Jin said makes sense, he will generally not oppose it. What's more, his partner for a few months has already made him have enough trust in this young commander.

"Someone rushed up." Wang Jin said softly, "Light soldiers are advancing quickly, and the soldiers are small and fast, five thousand people are enough, and there is no need for heavy armored soldiers." In addition, a hundred sentinels will be dispatched, and you will take the other brigade of old Tang with you, so you can't rush in. At the same time, it is necessary to pay attention to the presence of sentinels on both sides of the strait. ”

Tang Zhen didn't open his mouth to promise, but just nodded solemnly.

After Wang Jin hesitated for a moment, he reached out and patted Tang Zhen's shoulder: "Old Tang, if you don't come back to a certain time, take these brothers out safely, so that you will not embarrass you, and even praise you." Take the left compartment and come back for revenge later. ”

"What do you mean!" Tang Zhen shook off Wang Jin's hand and scolded angrily, "Lao Tzu will tell you." Don't think that it's only you who will be at the party all day, Wang Jin, no matter how bold and capable you are, get back when it's time to get back. If you don't have you in the left compartment of the Tianwu Army, can you call it the left wing of the Tianwu Army?! It's a joke, don't think you can just leave it, the road is still long. ”

Tang Zhen, who has always been bookish and polite, suddenly started a fire, which really scared Wang Jin. A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and Wang Jin turned his horse's head. Only one back was left: "Lao Tzu will settle accounts with you when he comes back alive!" ”

Looking at Wang Jin who disappeared in the vast sea of people, and also looking at the red flag fluttering in the cold wind, Tang Zhen had an urge to cry, but he still forcibly held back. It's not a tearful goodbye now, this road is still long!

"Left Chamber, forward, Tianwu Army, forward!" The red flag fluttered, and the 5,000 soldiers who served as the vanguard followed Wang Jin's figure and quickened the pace of his feet.

"Left Chamber, forward, Tianwu Army, forward!" Tang Zhen shouted violently, and the soldiers of the brigade slowly headed north, towards Suizhou!

――――――――――――――

The Ezhou garrison was defeated.

Yang Bao gritted his teeth, now it is not a question of whether to save it, but how to save it. Once the Mongol cavalry tore a hole from the side of the Ezhou garrison, it meant that the flanks of the Tianwu Army would be completely exposed in front of the Mongol iron cavalry.

"Draw a thousand crossbowmen and shoot the foot." Yang Bao frowned and waved his hand, there were thousands of Mongolian cavalry and his own heavily armored soldiers in front of him in full swing, even if he was anxious, he couldn't run straight over to take care of the flanks.

The crossbowmen of the Tianwu Army, who had nothing to do, moved very quickly, and the dense arrows swept through the flanks and rear of the Mongolian cavalry in the north, but the effect was not good, because first, most of the Mongolian cavalry had already scuttled into the phalanx of the soldiers stationed in Ezhou, and secondly, the Mongolian cavalry had expected that the Tianwu Army would definitely send crossbowmen to cover, so they did not sit up straight in a hurry.

Wang Lixin is more anxious than Yang Bao, after all, Yang Bao is only facing possible flank hidden dangers, while Wang Lixin is facing a real rout of his subordinates. At this time, Wang Lixin also had to sigh that he was really not a material to lead troops to fight.

"Steady, crossbowman, put!" Several Yu Marquis ran back and forth in front of Wang Lixin, and the crossbowmen of the Song army who strode back finally barely stabilized their positions, and aimed at the Mongolian cavalry that was getting closer and closer in front of them, but they didn't know whether there were more Mongolian cavalry among the people who were hit by the arrows, or there were more of their own foot soldiers who were fighting.

"Xianggong, the Tartar foot soldiers are also coming to our side." One of the commanders pointed ahead in panic, and the Mongolian infantry of the brigade was no slower than the Mongolian cavalry, and this moment was enough time for them to press up in a neat formation.

Wang Li couldn't help but feel a chill in his confidence, what he said now is not good, the Ezhou garrison has collapsed, if these Mongolian foot soldiers are allowed to rush up again, it is estimated that there will really be few people who can run out from here.

Gritting his teeth fiercely, Wang Lixin stepped forward: "Soldiers, we don't have any way to retreat now, as long as we let the Mongolian Tartar cavalry catch up, even if we run, we can't run away." So as long as you are still a man, you will rush up with a certain person and look at your side, those people in the Tianwu Army are not bad seeds. Are you just a seed?! ”

After all, Wang Lixin is a civil official, and his voice is not loud, so all he can hear is a few people around, but those commanders also know that if they don't work hard at this time, they will really have to explain here. So they followed Wang Lixin and shouted.

Red flags fluttered, and on the wasteland, the chaotic Ezhou garrison soldiers finally slowly stabilized their positions after paying a heavy price. In the Song army, the Mongol cavalry, who rushed left and right and suddenly entered a no-man's land, felt the difficulty of attacking for the first time, and simply stopped fighting, and easily fought a way from the other side of the Song army.

I have to say that as soon as the surrounding Song troops saw these fierce and bloody Mongolian cavalry, no one dared to stop them, and they dodged to both sides.

According to the assumptions of several Mongol commanders, there were still more than two thousand cavalry left. It should have directly attacked the flank of the Tianwu Army, but to their surprise, these Tianwu Army, which looked difficult to deal with, were no longer in their original position.

The Tianwu army of the brigade had already rushed forward, and the spearmen covered the lightly armored foot soldiers, and the 10,000 people were divided into three teams, and they slammed into the already panicked formation of the Mongolian Han family foot soldiers. The crossbowman, on the other hand, followed behind and did not hesitate to pull the trigger whenever he found a gap.

All the Mongol cavalry were shocked, they had never seen such a bold Song army, never had a Song army had the courage to launch a counterattack against the Mongol infantry brigade, and no Song army had ever been able to strangle a Mongol cavalry, and it was the most elite Mongolian cavalry. Without hesitation, he crashed headlong into the formation of the Mongolian Han family's foot soldiers.

This Song army is not only bold, but they do have this strength!

The Mongolian Han infantry were actually the surrendered troops of the Shandong Li Lan rebellion, so it was still possible to rely on the invincible Mongolian cavalry fox and fake tiger power in peacetime. Now that he was bumped into by a Song army foot soldier who was not afraid of death, the original fighting spirit had disappeared.

The Mongolian cavalry watched in amazement as tens of thousands of Mongolian Han foot soldiers were scattered by the Song army of similar numbers, all over the mountains and wilderness, and the wasteland was full of Mongolian Han foot soldiers running in all directions, and even knelt down in the mud and trembled.

It's a shame, the prestige of Mongolia has been trampled on by these lowly guys!

"Kill!" Behind him, the sound of killing gradually rose. The two thousand Mongolian cavalry had no time to dodge, and Wang Lixin rushed up with five or six thousand Ezhou garrison soldiers who had stabilized their positions without hesitation, and caught the Mongolian cavalry who were shocked by the scene in front of them by surprise.

"Retreat, retreat!" Several commanders saw their own foot soldiers in the nest, where did they still have the courage to fight. Once the cavalry does not have the most terrifying speed and assault ability, being surrounded by tens of thousands of foot soldiers in this wasteland is no different from killing yourself.

If these 6,000 cavalry were wiped out in the hands of the Song army's foot soldiers, then face would be lost.

It seems that they also realize that the battle situation here is becoming more and more erosive, and the Mongolian infantry cavalry that constantly rushed into the Yingzhou naval camp of the Song army began to desperately assemble outward, but they were more like attacking with refueling tactics, and the Mongolian cavalry did not even gather enough thousand people one by one, so they hurried over to respond, and the foot soldiers behind were even more panicked, and they didn't know for a while whether they should attack south or retreat north, and the once neat black banner was in chaos.

"The Tartars are in disarray, brothers, kill!" Yang Baolang shouted, countless soldiers rushed forward from behind him, the surrounding Mongolian Han family infantry had already been killed, where was there still the courage to fight, and it was difficult to maintain even the basic formation of a hundred-man team.

It has to be said that the soldiers stationed in Ezhou have brought into full play the fine tradition of the Song army of "beating the water dogs" to the extreme, and for the Song soldiers, who may not be able to win a battle for several years, they can encounter a rare victory, so they naturally do not hesitate to cover up the whole army.

The 2,000 Mongol cavalry, which had confused them just now, were now like a small boat swaying in the tumbling waves, and they could be subverted at any time. And the Song soldiers of the brigade didn't care about the 2,000 opponents at all, and more than 20,000 Song soldiers put on a terrifying formation on the wasteland.

The sudden change in the situation of the battle surprised the Mengsong generals, including Yang Bao. It's just that the culprit of all this, Yang Baoyang, is the commander and can't take care of it so much now, how did this battle come to be like this, he doesn't care now.

The Chinese army of the Tianwu Army frantically rushed forward, all the soldiers had been stimulated to blood, and no one even cared about the Mongolian cavalry behind them, they all understood that as long as they rushed into the dilapidated camp in front, the Mongolian infantry cavalry would have to retreat.

"Put!" There was a roar in the distance, and the Mongol infantry who came after them shot arrows desperately, and the Mongol cavalry also tried to outflank them from both sides.

However, there were too few of them rushing out one after another, and with these two thousand or even seven or eight hundred Mongolian cavalry, they wanted to break through the formation of tens of thousands of heavenly warriors, which was a bit overbearing. The Song crossbowmen ran desperately forward after the spearmen, aiming at the looming Mongolian Tartar figure in front of him and pulling the trigger sharply.

The assault pikemen, on the other hand, were tightly packed among the many foot soldiers, and their only task was to reload as much gunpowder and iron bullets as possible, and then rush out to the shouts of the surrounding leaders to unleash the barrage of death on the approaching Mongol cavalry.

"Sword and shield hands, chop horses' feet, protect the flanks, spearmen, assault forward!" Yang Bao clenched the reins of the horse, and he almost rushed to the front.

Several spears stabbed at him at the same time, Yang Bao sneered, and with both arms at the same time, he actually clamped all the spears under his armpits, and then shouted violently, and the spears broke in response! The saber in his hand then crossed a silver arc, and the two nearest Mongol foot soldiers were already in different places. The guards who followed Yang Bao closely quickly came up from the flanks and protected their commanders, and red flags fluttered in the wind, stained with blood, like raging flames.

Yang Bao can also be regarded as a dangerous move, if he uses spearmen against the Mongol cavalry, and with sword and shield hands against the foot soldiers, it will undoubtedly be difficult to break through the Mongol blockade in a short time. But if you switch, maybe your flanks will be easily torn apart by the Mongol cavalry, but at least the striker can rush up as fast as possible.

Dealing with sword and shield men with spearmen is like killing chickens with a knife! And the Tianwu saber and shield bearers also knew that they had a heavy responsibility, so they didn't care about the risk of being trampled by the war horse, and rolled on the ground one after another, the shield protected their heads, and the sharp blade poked out directly, and the hot horse blood splashed on the blade, and a horse leg had already flown out.

"Soldiers, kill with so-and-so!" Wang Lixin has lost his previous reserved literati style. Although he didn't even have the ability to hold the knife in his hand, it didn't prevent this powerless scholar from smashing into the flank from behind with the soldiers of the Ezhou garrison who had already killed blood.

The two Song armies continued to advance among the hastily assembled Mongol infantry as if they had been beaten with blood, even ignoring the whistling arrows overhead. The Mongol infantry obviously did not have the consciousness to face such a crazy opponent, they should have stepped forward to clean up the mess after the Mongol cavalry completely destroyed the fighting spirit of the Song army, but now they had to face the bloodthirsty beast that completely wiped out the Mongol cavalry.

This is not an enemy of a grade at all!

The embankment of thousands of miles was destroyed in an anthill, and a Mongolian Han foot soldier retreated in panic, followed by hundreds and thousands of people around him, all of whom retreated in surprise!

"Defeated, defeated!" The Mongol Han infantry of the brigade repeated the call sign that once belonged to the Song army, and the whole line collapsed like an avalanche, and even exposed the flanks of the Mongol cavalry in front of the spearmen of the Song army, so that the Mongol cavalry did not even have time to put down the bows and arrows in their hands, and had to retreat quickly.

Yang Bao breathed a sigh of relief, in fact, the two wings behind him, the Mongolian cavalry was about to penetrate it, and the Song saber and shield men paid a heavy price in covering the forward. It's just that now it seems that this sacrifice is worth it, and with the Ezhou garrison soldiers covering up, the Mongolian cavalry that attacked the flank of the Tianwu Army is also difficult to escape.

The wall of the camp was already dilapidated, but when the Song soldiers of the brigade poured in like a tide, this wall seemed to be infinitely hard.

The red flag fluttered in the camp again, and finally the thousands of Mongolian foot riders who had not had time to escape were blocked by 20,000 Song troops on the river beach. (To be continued.) )
