Half an hour later, Bai Yijie rode on his war horse and frowned as he looked at the battle situation in front of him.

When the Mongols decided to defend to the death, their tenacity was no different from that on horseback, and although in their bones the Mongols thought it was inefficient to hold on to their positions, they had proven in countless battles that when cavalry was inconvenient to use, they could still play the role of a stubborn infantryman.

The Song army has charged three times towards the middle base of the Mongols, and each time the result is a heavy loss, it cannot be said that the Song people's will to win the decisive battle is not firm, and the tired corpses in front of the middle base even Zhang Sheng, a battle-hardened general, can not bear to look at it directly, a battalion goes up, and in the end only dozens of people are left to come down, such a cruel fight, even Zheng Yunming in the rear was very surprised after receiving the report, and even brought news to Bai Yijie in front to ask him to suspend the attack, but Bai Yijie did not waver.

He deeply knew that although it seemed that the Song army was about to win an unprecedented victory, in fact, he was standing on the edge of the cliff, on the Yangtze River, Lu Wende led the Song army's sailors to sweep back and forth on the river with almost crazy momentum, but there were still Mongolian sailors who were not afraid of death in small boats trying to break through the Song army's sweep and the surging river, and came to the south to ferry the already troubled Mabu army. The Mongols were amassing ships upstream and downstream in an attempt to turn the tide of the battle by copying the Song army's back, and in fact a small number of men and horses had already landed near Hanyang, thanks to the concerted efforts of the Jinghu army and civilians to defeat them one by one. However, the numerical superiority of the Mongols is still a huge threat, if they can't capture the central base in time, at least destroy the central command system of the Mongols, then the frightened elite cavalry on the north bank will sooner or later come to their senses and use every means to surround the main force of the Song army in Ezhou and the vicinity.

When this time of decisive victory, Bai Yijie shouted loudly without hesitation: "Prepare for the fourth attack!" Back to the army as a striker! "When Zheng Yunming built the Shenwu New Army, he built each army into a corps that could fight independently, so the five armies all had corresponding numbers to save zài, such as the selection of the front is the horse team, and the You Yi is the guerrilla soldier. must be the confidant that the general relies on the most, not the elite of the elite that the country relies on, but over the past hundred years, especially in the 20 years since Zheng Yunming rebuilt the Beiwei Army, the three words of the Beiwei Army have become a symbol of victory in a hundred battles in the minds of the people. Why is it difficult to fight? Everything is enough as long as the army goes up. Zheng Yunming had to follow the strong public opinion.

Now is the time to go up to the pile-backed army, and if you want to consume the world's elite back-to-back warriors, now is the best time. Bai Yijie gathered the three armies' Beiwei army, about 3,000 people, and almost all of the Beiwei army was equipped with chain mail and large-leaf fish scale armor, and began to assemble in front of the battle. Behind them was the hoarse shout of the military advisor who had never heard of him with a leisurely and determined expression: "Twenty years of bloody war, it has come to the last moment!" Only one step away, only one step away, you will be able to win the chance of peace in the world! From now on, your wives and children will no longer have to worry about being taken captive by the Mongols, and your fathers and elders will no longer have the threat of being ravaged by the Mongols. I'd rather fall forward than backwards! Chief Hu's Nine Dragons are in front, and if it's a good man, rush in and cut it down! ”

The three thousand Beiwei army let out a wolf's howl, and the two armies had been fighting for so many years, and the Song army had also learned to use a wolf's howl to intimidate the opponent before the battle like the Mongols, but this habit was inevitably a little laughable at this time, because the Mongols in the distant position probably didn't hear their cries at all.

More than 200 large and small artillery pieces were doing their best to pour shells on the Mongol positions, and the distant cannon rumbled to cover the enemy's shouts, and the Mongol soldiers were busy looking for obstacles everywhere to avoid the rain of bullets.

The artillery is used intensively to stop the enemy's formation, this trick is not only the Song army, the Mongolian army is also trying to use, but the difference is in the accuracy, the artillery used by the Mongolian army today, the accuracy in the long range can only be compared with the bronze general cannon twenty years ago, and the accuracy of the new bronze and wrought iron artillery of the Song army is not what it used to be, under their intensive firepower, it is difficult to assemble into a solid large phalanx, and the Mongolian army can only take advantage of the enemy's charge, When the enemy's artillery stopped roaring, it took time to line up in a traditional horizontal formation. The Beiwei army did not wait to be arrayed, holding high the battle flag of the country's warriors, rushing over the mountains and fields, at this moment, it seemed that time played a big joke on the northern and southern armies, at this time desperately wanted to form a formation, but the Mongols who were famous for their fierce field battles, and the desperate conflict that did not form an array was replaced by the Song people.

Over the years, with the increasingly sophisticated weapons and the improvement of combat skills, the Beiwei army gradually abandoned the habit of having to line up, Zheng Yunming has a very vivid analogy of the relationship between the array and the straggler assault: the array is a good way to save life, and the stragglers are the poison to kill, it all depends on your own strength, when the strength of the army is not as good as the other party, then the natural array supports each other in order to consolidate itself, but when the morale and skills are not inferior to the opponent, it is not impossible to seek the maximum efficiency of the attack by the straggler assault, not to mention the so-called straggler assault of the Song army, It is also an attack combination with a squad of fifty people cooperating with each other while the whole formation is scattered, and the long and short weapons are all available, and the skirmishers have the upper hand when they are fighting.

The Mongols who occupied the position had the intention to form a formation, but they involuntarily followed the rhythm of the Song army and started a melee. When the Song people rushed into the position under artillery fire, the soldiers on the front line immediately forgot about the previous training, they are not professional infantry after all, and have rarely received training in formation, although in recent years the Mongols have also tried to concentrate the horse team to do intensive assault, but the concentration of infantry can still only be trained by the local households, so that the traditional place conducive to the formation of infantry formation, after dismounting is still long in formation, it is traditionally a place for cavalry shooting, and is still not accustomed to fighting in formation.

But the battlefield has been unprecedentedly cruel, both sides understand what this battle means, behind the Mongol army is the Golden Dome Tent, is the Great Khan and his nine beetles, in front of the Song army is the opportunity for a great victory that has never appeared in the history of 5,000 years, and no one will not go without the last bit of strength to fight.

With firearms, bows and arrows, spears, knives, and even teeth and empty hands, both sides are fighting for the final victory with the greatest strength, and the muddy earth is stained with blood, slowly dyeing dozens of miles of wilderness into a terrifying sea of blood. The Mongolian army was desperate for the last battle, they no longer even cared about the lives of their comrades in front, and when the two armies were fighting, they used General Tong to fire at the front, smashing the comrades who were fighting and the enemy into flesh together, and the Song army had fallen into madness, and even some red-eyed soldiers rushed forward desperately and blocked the muzzle of the general's cannon with their bodies, of course, the end was all torn apart by the shells.

Bai Yijie clearly knew that he had taken the advantage, the battle of the Beiwei army opened the way for the impact of the follow-up troops, the 30,000 troops in front of him were slowly but firmly advancing, at the same time, the Song army sent two armies to advance to the two flanks of the Mongolian Chinese army camp, with side fire non-stop attack on the stubborn Mongolian army, these young Mongolian warriors are still desperately resisting to the death, although their fighting spirit makes all the Song Dynasty generals have to express their admiration, but for the general trend of such a battle is always too little.

But Bai Yijie still felt that it was wrong, the Song army tried its best to assault, and still failed to occupy the interior of the Mongolian army camp, not to mention how strong the Mongolian army's fortress was, the intensive bombardment of artillery had already destroyed most of the peripheral fortifications, and it was not necessary to say that the Song army's attack was not effective, and the fighting spirit and combat effectiveness of the Shenwu New Army were not inferior to any army commanded by Zheng Yunming in Bai Yijie's view. It's just that there are still some obstacles that prevent the Song people from taking the final step to win. The two sides were killing each other, and the corpses were built like mountains, but the Song army still couldn't make a decisive breakthrough, and it was even impossible to get a little closer to the Golden Dome Tent.

This is the military soul of the Mongols supporting these last resistors, Bai Yijie is very clear in his heart, a hundred-legged insect, dead and not stiff, forty or twenty years, the Mongol Empire has been fighting on the continent to the east and west, often winning and undefeated, not only defeated a huge country that has never been seen in history, but also established the invincible momentum of the Mongolian army, with this momentum, even if the Mongols are fighting in the mountains, jungles, water, and even across the Tibetan Plateau, the desert is barren, they can gnaw down one by one with the tenacity in the bones, Although the Song army has a new look compared to 20 years ago, it has not experienced a real hard battle, and it is too arrogant to easily annihilate the essence of the Mongol army in one battle.

He even considered whether to give up the attack, use heavy troops to besiege the Mongols' middle base, and use the encircled Meng Ge as a bargaining chip to conduct a real negotiation with the Mongol army, of course, the minimum of this negotiation is to ask the Mongols to give up all the land south of the Great Wall, and really retreat to the outside of the pass, which is an unacceptable condition for the Mongols, but what the Great Song Dynasty is holding at this moment is almost a heavyweight bargaining chip that the Central Plains country has never mastered in the past three thousand years, and it is understandable that the asking price is a little higher.

He also feared that it would be a big mistake to turn the war into a protracted siege, and that the Mongols were panicking and scattering, and that the last soldier should be put in to mercilessly hunt down and kill the fugitives, otherwise they would regroup after they had fled to safety, and the victory won by the Song army would be worthless. However, the Song army has not yet annihilated a lot of enemies in the middle base, and they are all the real elite of the Mongol army, and it is necessary to ensure that they cannot escape from Meng Ge, and they must have 100,000 troops, and the rest of the men and horses play the role of pursuit, after all, it is a little thin.
