On the field opposite the Northern Expeditionary Army, the black-pressed Mongol army was coming from the west, not all cavalry, but less than 20,000 Mongol cavalry and more than 10,000 Han Chinese, Goryeo and Semu infantry -- this was an army under the command of Hong Fuyuan, a military and civilian commander attached to the Goryeo army and civilian, and a military and civilian Wanhu on the Shenyang Road.

This Hong Fuyuan is a Goryeo Tang people, that is, Han people who were exiled to Goryeo in the Tang Dynasty, and live in Tang City in the north of Goryeo. In the early days of the Mongol-Goryeo War, he fell into the water and became a Goryeo traitor, led the Mongols to conquer the city, and made great contributions, which was naturally appreciated by the Mongolian masters. Later, he could not gain a foothold in Goryeo (at first, he was sealed in Goryeo Xijing, which is Pyongyang), so he coerced more than 10,000 Goryeo families and ran to Liaodong, where he was placed on Shenyang Road. This time, he followed Tachar into Goryeo and made a lot of money, and now he was brought to Liaodong by Tachar.

However, the more than 10,000 "Han army" under his command now are not all his men, as well as the gunners belonging to the Mongolian naval division brought by Guo Shoujing, 30 muskets, 100 stone machines, and 100 three-bow bed crossbows. In addition, Liu Xiaoyuan and Guo Shoujing were also ordered by Ta Chaer to serve as "Tongzhi".

Now Liu Xiaoyuan and Guo Shoujing are both wearing single-layer leather armor and moving with the army. Liu Xiaoyuan rode on a horse, frowning deeply at the Northern Expeditionary Army cheering in the distance. He really couldn't understand why the Han army also had such high morale? He shook his head and turned to look at his companion Guo Shoujing, who was busily directing the people in their early 1,000s to place the three-bow bed crossbow, the stone machine, and the fire gun. Running back and forth with his jacket in his hand, he was so tired that he was out of breath......

I don't know what Tachar thinks, the three-bow bed crossbow, the stone machine, and the fire bolt, three weapons with completely different ranges. They all called Guo Shoujing to command alone. And this Guo Shoujing obviously has no command talent, nor does he have any competent people to help.

Although Liu Xiaoyuan is also a "fellow knowledge". But where does he know the way of these instruments, and he only knows the surface of the formation. There are a lot of ways to know all kinds of tactics. There is no real experience. In fact, like some of the Yan Shuai who were born on the right path of the imperial examination in the Southern Song Dynasty, they are all experts on paper...... In later generations, the military academies of modern and modern countries will not spare the troops to carry out this process, and after graduation, they will also start from the grassroots level.

In the Song, Ming, and Qing dynasties, although the civilian officials who supervised the division were all commanders of the army, the vast majority of them did not have any experience in the grassroots army. There is no telling at all how the armies under their command marched, how they fought, how they were organized. Such a "minister", no matter how much he reads military books, is a military strategist who talks about war on paper. When you go to the battlefield, you can only command blindly.

However, Liu Xiaoyuan is now loyal to the Mongols of Guiwu and Qingwen. Naturally, he would not let a "scholar appease" really command the army. He was now just a spectator anxiously awaiting the outcome of the engagement.

At about three o'clock in the morning, Prince Huotu appeared on the battlefield on horseback wearing a silver-white iron armor, just to the left of Hong Fuyuan's Han army - today's Tacha'er arrangement was a bit abnormal, and even let the Shenyang Lu Han army, which had the worst combat effectiveness, serve as the central front, flanked by ten Mongol thousand-man troops. Among them, there are five palace tent thousand-person teams in Huotu's control.

Because of the previous defeat in the battle on the bank of Zhuangshui, two of the five palace tent thousand people suffered more than half of the casualties. As a result, there were less than 4,000 horsemen left under Hotu's command, but these 4,000 men were still the most powerful attack force in Tachar's hands - all 4,000 horsemen were heavily armored and armed with spears!

Their role today is that of heavy cavalry, and they will deal a fatal blow to their opponents at critical moments!

However, Hotu himself was not very confident in this fatal blow. He had already rushed through with the cavalry on the edge of Zhuangshui, and even the foot soldiers of the Northern Expeditionary Army, who had just crossed Zhuangshui and had not yet gained a stable foothold, could not rush, not to mention that the formation was now set. And the Northern Expeditionary Army supported by the big guns?

As for the archery that the Mongols are best at, whether it is dismounted and shot on foot, or flying on horseback. In front of the Northern Expeditionary Army's big guns and heavenly thunder arrows, they are not worth mentioning.

Thankfully. Great Mongolia also has a killer feature this time - flying rockets! Guo Shoujing once shot one in front of Tachar and Huo Tu in the interview a few days ago, and it can be hit three miles away. In terms of range. It's a weapon indeed. Therefore, it was also pinned on high hopes by King Tachar Khan.

However, at present, the distance between the arrays of the two armies is far more than three miles, almost five or six miles. If the three-bow bed crossbow is placed in the Mongolian army's large array, it will not be able to reach the Northern Expeditionary Army at all, let alone blow Chen Dexing and Chen Daxian to pieces!

Fortunately, Tachar still has a trump card in his hands!

When Prince Hotu's 4,000 men had finished their procession, they all dismounted and rested. The Chinese army of King Tachar Khan was also arranged. The Khan King sat on the back of a good horse in the Western Regions, and beside him was Yang Po'er who sat on the back of a donkey - in fact, Yang Po'er could ride a horse, but she had to not ride in order to disguise Guo Fu'er, after all, there was no one in the Southern Dynasty who could ride a horse.

Tachar looked at the charming woman beside her, and felt a little pity. After a while, the flying rocket will fall, but the jade will be burned, and most of this woman will be shattered!

"Send someone to tell Chen Dexing and ask him to bring people to Xiaojiazhai, and we will exchange there." Tachar let go of his voice and commanded left and right.

The substitution at the edge of Xiaojiazhai was thought out last night. Xiaojiazhai is located in the middle of the two armies, less than 3 miles away from the Mongolian army formation, and is already within the range of the flying rocket. Moreover, this village is under the control of the Northern Expeditionary Army, and it is very safe for Chen Dexing to arrive near this village. Even if the Mongol cavalry wanted to attack, he could quickly retreat under the cover of Xiaojiazhai. Therefore, Tachar estimated that Chen Dexing would definitely go to the vicinity of Xiaojiazhai to greet his mother in person. And the 100 three-bow bed crossbows commanded by Guo Shoujing will be released when Chen Dexing and "Guo Fuer" meet......

A Mongolian hundred-hundred-hundred

"King, Tachar's envoy Tiyì exchanged at the edge of Xiaojiazhai, and asked us to take Ashulu there. The old lady walked from the Mongolian army formation to the direction of Xiaojiazhai, and Ashulu walked from Xiaojiazhai to the Mongolian army formation. ”

Zhu Sijiu saw the messenger, and after asking the ins and outs, he came to report to Chen Dexing.

Chen Dexing raised the binoculars, looked in the direction of Xiaojiazhai, and nodded: "Yes!" Forty-nine, you take the cavalry brigade to escort me over. ”

Chen Dexing's Guards Division also had a brigade of cavalry, which was also dressed as a cowardly Xue and could be used as a heavy cavalry. However, it was equipped with a stubborn horn bow, and the generals had the ability to shoot bows and arrows on horses.

"Evil Tiger, you command. Monk, you can assist the evil tiger. Chen Dexing then temporarily handed over the command of the whole army. Then he rode forward and swaggered to Xiaojiazhai.

……

When Chen Dexing's sun and moon daxu moved towards Xiaojiazhai, Guo Shoujing had already arranged the copper gun, the stone machine, and the three-bow bed crossbow, and was sitting on the ground panting - the positions of the three weapons were a little far apart, and Guo Shoujing ran back and forth for thousands of steps, and finally stopped.

And all the three-bow bed crossbows were placed at the forefront, aiming at Xiaojiazhai 3 miles away.

Liu Xiaoyuan knew Chen Dexing, and naturally arrived in front of the formation at this time, holding a telescope to carefully identify the big man Chen on a horse in the distance.

"It's him! He is a thief! Liu Xiaoyuan put down the binoculars, turned his head to look at Guo Shoujing and said, "Brother Ruosi, can you find Chen Thief?" ”

"You can give it a try." Guo Shoujing didn't dare to say it to death. The flying rocket he invented can be found. However, this flying rocket has no accurate head, and the time of the explosion is always not well controlled, and the power of the explosion is not great -- in order to reduce weight, there is no iron shell as the shell of the warhead, so the H charge cannot be fully burned, and the power of the explosion is very limited.

"When to?" Liu Xiaoyuan raised the binoculars again and stared at Chen Dexing, as if he was afraid that he would immediately turn around and flee.

"King Tachar Khan has given an explanation, and I will wait for the return of the chief of Ashuru." Guo Shoujing also raised a telescope and watched.

At this time, on the right flank of Xiaojiazhai, Chen Dexing's first brigade of guards had already spread out a formation, and it was an extremely tight cavalry phalanx. Ashuru was escorted over, without armor or weapons, just dressed in cloth.

And three miles away on the opposite side, Yang Po'er also let people take it out, did not ride a donkey, but walked step by step to Chen Dexing's sun and moon. Chen Dexing himself is under Daxu.

After Chen Dexing used a telescope to confirm the authenticity of Yang Po'er, he waved his hand to let Ashulu leave. This scene did not escape Liu Xiaoyuan's eyes. After seeing Ashulu and Yang Po'er intersecting. He swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and didn't put down the binoculars, just shouted, "Ruosi, it's time!" ”

Guo Shoujing was also holding a telescope to watch, and when he heard Liu Xiaoyuan's words, he took a deep breath and shouted loudly: "Ignition!" Flying rocket ignition! ”

All the three-bow bed crossbows had already opened their strings and mounted the flying rockets. Next to each bed crossbow are soldiers with fire folds, all of whom understand Chinese. Hearing Guo Shoujing's order, he hurriedly began to light a fire - there were many fires to be lit! Among them, there are two "boosters", and there are two "warheads", both of which are tied to large arrows. Ignition is required by hand, and these people who do not have much training......

"Fat! Hurry! Hurry up and send the magic arrow! ”

Guo Shoujing didn't put down his binoculars to see how many leads his crossbowmen had lit, but just estimated that he was almost ready to give a loud order. I only heard a "tense" sound, and hundreds of three-bow crossbows ejected the Flying Divine Arrow almost at the same time! (To be continued......)
