The spear is the nemesis of the cavalry, and many of the Mongolian soldiers in the front row were stabbed to death on the sharp tip of the spear, but their sacrifice also achieved a certain effect, squeezing the defense line of the Wusheng battalion towards the back and began to retreat, and in this round of impact, many of the soldiers of the Wusheng battalion were also injured, after all, they were fighting against the enemy with manpower and the impact of the war horse, and the weaker ones were immediately knocked to the ground, spitting blood.

The front of the Wusheng battalion began to retreat under the pressure of the Mongol army, but because they were very strong, even if they were forced to retreat, the basic array was not scattered, but because the center was under the greatest pressure, it showed a bow and fell inward.

Although the Mongolian soldiers paid the price of some casualties, they did not stop the attack, and under the command of the commander of the thousand, they continued to attack the defense line of the Wusheng battalion, trying to crush them, and broke through from the center into the main formation of the Song army.

Seeing that the defense line of the Wusheng battalion was sinking more and more inward, Hua Yue immediately ordered the heavy cavalry to charge.

The heavy cavalry of the two hundred Wusheng battalions that had been prepared on both wings immediately shouted loudly, urging the war horses under their crotches, and the two iron streams immediately rushed out of the formation, stabbing into the Mongolian cavalry formation that was attacking in the center like two sharp knives.

The cavalry of the Wusheng battalion are also wearing heavy armor, each of them is also equipped with a thick copper shield on his left arm, except for the eyes, almost all parts of the body are covered by armor, and even the war horses are equipped with complete horse armor, so it is difficult for ordinary weapons to hurt them, so once they kill the enemy, the power is also very considerable.

The two hundred heavy horsemen under the leadership of their respective officers, like steel monsters, did not care about the weapons around them that beckoned to them, only used their left arms to resist the enemy's heavy weapons such as iron bones, axes and other things, basically ignored the swords that were chopped over, and each of them held a very heavy and sharp saber in his right hand, each saber weighed nearly ten catties, saying that it was a saber, but in fact the weight even exceeded that of a hand axe, the power of the chopping was very huge, and every time the knife was chopped, there would be blood splattered immediately, Although the Mongol cavalry was strong, under their attack, they immediately showed their inferiority, and those killed by them fell off their horses one after another, and the thousand-man team immediately became chaotic for a while.

The Mongol army was in disarray, and the impact was immediately reduced, and they had to turn around to resist the heavy cavalry of the Song army that was killing on both wings, and the pressure of the Wusheng battalion infantry array in front of them was suddenly reduced a lot.

Kill! Hua Yue shouted angrily after the queue.

These Wusheng battalion infantry soldiers, who had just been under the tremendous pressure of the Mongol army's impact, immediately followed with a loud roar, pushed out the big shield with their left arm, and then pushed down the big shield, held the plain wood spear in both hands, and stabbed forward together.

In front of the queue of the Wusheng battalion, a large amount of blood immediately burst out, and a row of Mongolian soldiers was stabbed under their horses by them.

Gao Huaiyuan was very, very satisfied with the performance of the Wusheng Battalion, at the critical moment, the Wusheng Battalion boosted the morale of the Song army, and with weak troops, he actually resisted the impact of the Mongolian army, so he immediately shouted to Li Ruohu who followed him: Ruohu! Out of the knife sharpener!

Li Ruohu nodded in agreement, flew forward, and pointed out a team of three hundred sword and axe hands in the Chinese army, and passed Gao Huaiyuan's order.

After the three hundred sword and axe hands received the order, they immediately rushed forward, and after coming to the front of the formation, they immediately took over the position of the Wusheng battalion, their equipment was a little strange, these people were only wearing light armor, and a huge round shield with a diameter of nearly one meter was tied to their left arm, and they all had a sharp scimitar in their right hand.

After they rushed into the Mongolian cavalry formation, they quickly raised the big round shield, almost covering all their bodies, ignoring the knives, guns, axes and mallets chopped down by the Mongolian army above, and even ignoring the trampling of the jumping war horses, leaning down, rounding the scimitar in their hands, specifically looking for the horse legs that appeared next to them, and as soon as the knife passed, a horse leg immediately left their owner and fell to the ground, and the war horse after the horse leg was cut off was not a god horse, and then took their master and fell to the ground. Immediately, another sword was swung away, and the life of the fallen Mongol soldier was understood.

After this continuous blow, the thousand-man team of the Mongol army, even if it lost its combat effectiveness and fled in terror, left behind wounded horses that were still neighing and corpses all over the ground in front of the Song army.

Polu, who was watching the enemy's formation behind, suddenly saw that the thousand-man team he had sent out quickly collapsed after a short impact, and at a glance, the thousand-man team had lost almost half of it, which surprised him.

He rarely encountered such a situation in front of the battle, the Song army rushed to meet the battle, actually withstood his such a sharp blow, and caused so much damage to his vanguard army, and the main formation of the Song army can be said to be immovable.

After looking at it carefully, Polu gasped, the soldiers and horses of the Song army were obviously very familiar with how to resist the impact of a large force of cavalry, and there were actually rare heavy infantry cavalry, and there was also a team of knife sharpeners who specialized in dealing with their light cavalry, which shocked him very much.

The first charge of the Mongol army was also immediately frustrated, and the vanguard army retreated in a gray manner, so that the offensive of the Mongol army was stopped, and it had to begin to gather troops and horses and line up opposite the Song army.

The defense line of the Song army was stabilized, and the two armies temporarily formed a confrontation form, and Gao Huaiyuan immediately breathed a long sigh of relief in the middle of the Chinese army.

What he was most afraid of was that when the Mongol army suddenly attacked, the Song army would not be able to stop them and be defeated by them, but now that he can finally let go of this worry, then the next battle will be easier to deal with.

The martial arts camp is brave! Make a note of this merit and come back for a reward! The swordscutter's pension for the dead is doubled, the wounded are rewarded with fifty cents, and the rest of the people are each rewarded with ten! Gao Huaiyuan ordered loudly.

The appearance of this knife sharpener, Gao Huaiyuan also wants to thank a great general a hundred years ago, that is, the world-famous Yue Fei Yue Pengju, Yue Fei led the army to resist Jin, that was also infantry against the Jin army's brave cavalry, but the Yue family army was rarely defeated, indicating that Yue Fei attaches great importance to studying how to restrain the enemy cavalry with infantry, so Gao Huaiyuan specifically found Yue Kun and obtained the military book about Yue Fei that the Yue family retained, and in the selection of the front army, a special establishment of knife sharpeners was set up. Train them in tactics against enemy cavalry.

And this battle was their first appearance, and the results were quite good, 300 knife sharpeners killed at least nearly 200 Mongol troops, while the casualties paid by their own side were only a few dozen, which is quite a good record.

Of course, we can't forget the dedication of the Wusheng battalion, if they hadn't blocked the impact of the Mongol army and reduced their speed, then the knife sharpeners are estimated to go up, even if they can achieve results, it is estimated that they will suffer heavy casualties, after all, a rattan shield can block the sword, but it can't stop the stampede, and being hit by a war horse will cost the lives of these knife sharpeners, so when fighting, the cooperation of all arms is particularly important.

In short, in this contact battle, the Song army performed beyond Gao Huaiyuan's expectations, and the strength of the Wusheng battalion won an extremely difficult time for the Song army to stabilize the defense line, and at the same time, it also stabilized the hearts of the generals who were a little panicked by the sudden change, and restored the morale of the Song army to the peak again.

After Polu collected the soldiers and horses, he looked at the Song army, and now he finally knew why Shi Bu was defeated so badly, this Song army was indeed extraordinary, and in a sudden situation, it could withstand such a sharp blow from him, and caused heavy losses to the vanguard army under his command, they did have the capital to fight with themselves.

So he carefully observed the Song army's large array, after this look, he was secretly amazed by the Song army's main general, from this formation, the Song army put out a relatively simple square array, but the structure is different from the ordinary square array, the outer layer has two more lines of defense, which is much more stable, and the inner layer of flags is displayed, but there is no specific change.

Although he can't fully understand this Song army's large array, from some details, Polu can still see that the center of this array is a forest, but it has been cut down by the Song army at this time, which has opened up the Song army's horizons, and also provided conditions for the Song army's bow and crossbow to carry out firepower, and provided support for their defense.

Moreover, although these cut down trees did not have time to be made into horses and deer, they were still moved outside the formation, and the branches of the canopy naturally became deer bars for effective defense against cavalry, and they were not even as convenient to deal with as deer bars.

It can be seen that although the Song army happened suddenly, but after discovering the plan, it was still extremely quickly arranged, and an effective defense line was built, if it was not an elite division, it was simply impossible to complete these things in a short period of time, it can be seen that these Song troops did undergo strict training, and they were the few soldiers and horses he encountered that were not easy to deal with.

But Polu is still very confident in his soldiers and horses, they don't look at the strength of the Song army, but his soldiers and horses are all cavalry, and the combat effectiveness should be much more than the infantry army, and the Song army only has a cavalry of only two or three thousand people, including the two hundred heavy cavalry that showed their skills just now, and they don't have to worry about them threatening their Mongolian cavalry at all.

So after seeing the layout of the Song army's large array, Polu immediately ordered to start the attack, his tactics are still old-fashioned, the archers first carried out cavalry attacks on the Song army, repeatedly carried out roundabout attacks on the periphery of the Song army, forcing the Song army to stop changing formations, and finally fatigued loopholes, and then launched a general attack, from the loopholes of the Song army, in one fell swoop to break through the Song army's large array.
