In the main formation of the Song army on the west bank of the Grand Canal, on a temporary watchtower, Jia Rudao, Li Tingzhi, and Liao Yingzhong all stood neatly in robes and gowns, looking south.

This watchtower is extremely simple, and it does not even have a roof to shelter from the wind and rain, but it is a high platform supported by four large trees. Standing on it, even the Yangtze Bridge City, which is far away in Wuhuali, can be seen at a glance.

The scene of "cannon beating the northern captives" that happened on the left flank of the Song army just now naturally couldn't escape from the eyes of these people on the high platform - although this scene looked a bit farce, but Jia Rudao and Li Tingzhi, the two civilian officials who really knew the soldiers, were already dancing with joy.

Until now, Jia Rudao is still stroking his palms and laughing: "Happy, really happy!" The old man has been a soldier for 18 years, and he has never fought such a happy battle! If there were a few more artillery troops, what else would the northern captives have to fear? How can the Central Plains not be restored? ”

Li Tingzhi beside him couldn't help nodding, but Liao Yingzhong was a little puzzled: "Xianggong, there seems to be no doubt about the artillery army, but it is not unsolvable...... Now that the Northern Infantry has spread out in formation, I'm afraid it's not easy to kill, right? In addition, the cavalry and horse formations of the northern captives were more scattered, and it was not of great use to rely on dozens of stone machines. ”

Li Tingzhi snorted and pointed at the Zhang family foot soldiers who were loosely formed: "How can such a scattered formation fight?" That is, our army has no horses, and if there are three or five hundred horsemen, a trampling can be dispersed. Even if there are no horses, it is not difficult for Xia Jiajun's selection to beat them...... As for the cavalry of the Northern Captives, how precious was that? When our army counterattacked, did they come up and trample on it? ”

As soon as he reminded him, Liao Yingzhong also came to his senses. In the past, even if the Song army won in the infantry battle, it only dared to pursue a little more than a dozen steps, and it would be forced back by the northern cavalry. And just now, the hundreds of sharp soldiers led by Chen Dexing fought a hundred and fifty steps away, and they didn't see the Mongolian iron cavalry step forward. Chen Dexing's tactics of using a stone-hairing machine and earth-shaking thunder were "simple", but they were extremely effective, and they abolished the two major killer weapons of the Northern Captives at once - the Han army infantry and the Mongolian iron cavalry.

"So speaking of which, as long as there are enough artillery troops, maybe my Great Song Dynasty really has any hope of recovering the Central Plains?" Liao Yingzhong took a breath, and her face was full of disbelief.

Restore the Central Plains - Who doesn't want to be a person with lofty ideals in the Southern Song Dynasty? It's just that one failure after another made the high-level leaders of the Southern Song Dynasty completely desperate for the restoration.

"It may not be easy to recover, but self-protection is safe." Jia Rudao stroked his beard and smiled. The restoration of the Central Plains is not only a military issue, but also involves both political and financial aspects. Jia Rudao's understanding of this is quite sufficient, and the government cannot be unspeakably unspeakable - for the restoration of the fù, the gentry and civilians in the south are tired of it, and they have failed again and again, and every time they use troops to loot their wealth, and in the end they always get nothing! Since Duanping entered Luo, the financial use of the imperial court has been strictly unable to make ends meet, and "the use of a country is tied to paper" (the issuance of paper money) is the best portrayal......

"Of course, according to Chen Dexing's words, we can also attack and harass the northern captives by sea from the north, so that they cannot concentrate on the southward invasion." Jia Rudao thought for a while, and then said to Li Tingzhi, "If the imperial court really wants to carry out this plan, you should set up the Northland Coastal Control Envoy, and you can have the right to hold this position." ”

The status of the envoy was slightly lower than that of the pacification envoy, and the importance of the coastal envoy was even less because there was not much land territory. With Li Tingzhi's qualifications and official position, he is enough to take responsibility.

Li Tingzhi crossed his hands and saluted: "Xiaguan Xie Xianggong will bring it to cultivate." ”

At this moment, in front of the Song army's large array, nearly 6,000 foot soldiers of the Red Jacket Army, with 4,000 Mongolian cavalry on horseback, had slowly unfolded and came to the army formation of the Xiongsheng Army.

The decisive battle between the Mongols and the Song army near the Yangtze Bridge reached a climax.

……

At this moment, on the left flank of the Song army, the foot soldiers of the Shuntian Zhang family were already close to the death line of one hundred and twenty steps! These soldiers who followed the Shuntian Zhang family to fight to the death were all veterans with considerable experience in the battle formation, and naturally knew that using this loose formation to rush the formation was purely to send them to death.

But these northern Han'er, who grew up in the last days of China, are a group of people who take life and death very lightly. The Mengjin War, which took place more than 20 years ago, was fought extremely brutally, and the population of the northern Han region was almost eighty-nine tenths. The Han'er in the north are either ruined or scattered, tossing and turning in ravines. The people who can survive are all dependent on the heroes and powers in this troubled world - that is, the so-called Han army marquis, working for them, working for them, and only with good luck can they get a way to live. And their fate is naturally tied to the heroes who shelter them. If there is no strong and powerful above, these one-money men are just third-class and fourth-class pariahs in the eyes of the Mongols, inferior to cattle!

As for the fact that these Han army princes were following and slaughtering most of the population of the northern Han land, and they were planning to slaughter the Mongols all the way to the south of the Yangtze River, no one would think too much about it.

The Song army of the brigade also left the protection of the deer, the rejection of horses and the chariot formation, and discharged a strict formation in the wilderness. This time, Chen Dexing did not go into battle, but asked Lu Evil Tiger to attack with three hundred spearmen and seven hundred school swordsmen and eight hundred strong archers of the Xia family's army.

"Canopy ......"

The trembling muffled sound sounded again, and the artillery army commanded by Chen Dexing was once again powerful, and sixty-three earth-shattering thunderbolts rolled into the air, and in an instant, they fell down in the Zhang family's army array! At the same time as the screams, there was also the shouting of the Zhang family officer: "Forward and forward!" Don't stay here and suffer from thunder, go fight with the Birdans in front! After snatching Yangzhou City, let go and let you wash for three days! ”

The loose formation of more than 3,000 people split into two halves in an instant, half desperately moving forward, half not moving, and some of the dying and seriously wounded fell to the ground crying.

Seeing such a chaotic scene, anyone with a little battlefield experience can guess the outcome of this engagement.

Lu Shihu looked at Chen Dexing beside him and asked in a low voice: "Is it still a solid bullet?" ”

Chen Dexing nodded: "A bunch of rabble, don't deserve to waste gunpowder." ”

"A rabble?" Lu Shihu smiled bitterly, "The sharp pawns of the Shuntian Zhang family have actually become a rabble...... Qingzhi, you are really capable! I'm convinced. ”

Chen Dexing smiled slightly and said, "Brother Lu Shi's skills of mine have almost learned, right?" When I arrived in Sichuan, I had a chance to show my skills. ”

Lu Shihu didn't speak, just nodded solemnly.

Chen Dexing did teach him his true skills, so that his status in the Lu family has been improved by more than one step, if he is willing to change to the martial rank, it is possible to become the successor of his uncle Lu Wende! This favor is indeed not small!

"Victory! Victory! ”

The cheers suddenly rang out at this time, and it turned out that the confrontation on the front line had already had a result! The Zhangjia army, which attacked the Song army's tight infantry formation in a scattered formation, collapsed almost at the touch of a button, as if the waves of water were crashing on the solid rock, scattered into countless splashes, and rolled away, leaving only corpses and dying wounded on the ground......

Zhang Hongfan also learned to be obedient this time, and did not take the lead, but took dozens of Zhang family knights to supervise the battle from afar, with a look on his face like a piece of ice, staring at him expressionlessly. Fang Cai's engagement, the whole process, he has a full view.

It's not that I, Zhang Hongfan, was unlucky, and I met Chen Dexing, a mourning star, the first time I went to the battlefield, but that the way of the world is going to change, it's really going to change......
