At the same time as Monk Liu shot the first arrow, some people in the nearby Song army formations also shot an arrow symbolizing the coming of death - most of the people who could be entrusted with the responsibility of proofreading and shooting on the battlefield were battle-hardened men. Scenes like today's, none of them have experienced it again and again, and they have already practiced a hard-hearted heart.

"Fat!"

With a cold military order without the slightest emotion, dense raindrops of feather arrows and crossbows flew out from the arrays of the Song army's armies, drawing a semicircular arc in the air, passing the apex and accelerating down, covering the people of the Great Song Dynasty in front of them in an instant. This scene will appear again and again in Chen Dexing's nightmare in the years to come. Within one hundred and twenty paces, all the people, men, women, and children without wheels, were shot indiscriminately! The lodging corpse was suddenly covered with the front line of the Song army, and then blood flowed out of the dying body, staining a large area of mud red.

After witnessing the decisive defeat of the Song army, the people who had not yet approached the Song army's army immediately cried hoarsely and refused to advance, and some people mustered all their courage before they died, wanting to fight with the Mongol soldiers who drove them, but how could these unarmed people fight the beasts wearing heavy armor and holding sharp blades? In the center of the battlefield, it suddenly became a slaughterhouse! And the people who were driven by the Mongols to approach the Song army again were shot down by a burst of arrows, and let out a dying cry!

"We are the people of the Great Song Dynasty......"

"Help me, I don't want to die!"

"Brother, run, run......"

"Mother, I ...... pain"

"Thief God, keep your eyes open!"

Seeing this scene and hearing such a voice, the Song army didn't know how many bloody men in the formation gritted their steel teeth and wanted to go up to save people. But at this moment, the herald's loud voice sounded again behind the formations of the troops.

"Pass on the Privy Council's public order: all armies will not move, and those who dare to advance without an order will be killed!"

The battle formation of the Song army is a whole, and it is never the bravery of the individual, but the strength of the collective. If you attack in vain, you will destroy the integrity of the Song army's battle formation, which is something that the Mongols can't ask for!

Chen Dexing had already raised his bow at this moment, and his skillful bow was aimed at a Mongol who was wielding a saber to slash the people of the Great Song Dynasty. Although he had never learned archery in his previous life, archery had long become an instinct for his body in this life - Chen Dexing, who was born in Jiangmen, chose a knife and bow to accompany him all his life as soon as he learned to crawl, and like those men who grew up on the grassland, he began to ride a horse before learning to walk, and drew a bow before he learned to hold a spoon to eat. Nearly 20 years of hard work have turned him into a killing machine!

"Stretch!" After a soft sound, the sharp feather arrow was thrown away like lightning, and in an instant it turned into a small black dot, and the face of the Outer Mongolian warrior who was nearly one hundred and thirty steps away was immediately inserted into the shaft of a half-cut arrow, and the whole person trembled and fell down as if he had been electrocuted!

Chen Dexing didn't expect that his archery skills would be so good that he could hit a throw at a distance of nearly 200 meters! He was stunned for a moment, and suddenly he thought, 'That man is dead?' I killed, I killed! But...... What a hate! ’

Maybe it was because he didn't see the bloody scene far away, or maybe because this body had already regarded killing as instinct, Chen Dexing did not feel any discomfort at this moment, but had an inexplicable pleasure and excitement, and he took out a feather arrow and was about to shoot it out, but was pulled by Monk Liu beside him.

"Erlang, don't worry, the tartar is still far away, it's not easy to hit, and it consumes too much energy! The Tartars drove the people to sweep the formation, just to exhaust our strength! ”

'Too much effort? Chen Dexing's mind immediately flashed another common sense on the battlefield - strength must be saved, because the Song army's battle was an extremely exhausting tactic. Due to the lack of war horses, a strong cavalry regiment could not be formed to cover the infantry. Once the infantry formation of the Song army was laid out on the battlefield, it was difficult to have the opportunity to rest or rotate, and it was often necessary to maintain a combat state at all times under the watchful eye of the opposing cavalry, staying up from early morning to dusk, and finally being able to evacuate the battlefield safely under the cover of night.

And archery, especially with a hard bow of eight or nine buckets or even one stone, is definitely a hard work. Even if Chen Dexing, who is six feet long (more than 1.80 meters) and has a big waist and a round waist, he has to recuperate and massage 20 times in a row, otherwise it will be at least a muscle strain. And in order to shoot these civilians who were driven by the Mongols, the crossbowmen of the Wurui army had to shoot at least four or five rounds of volleys......

"Erlang, it seems that the Tartars are going to storm our Wurui Army, and there should be a hard battle today." Monk Liu looked at the battlefield with a somewhat heavy face.

Chen Dexing raised his head, looked at the vast battlefield in front of him, and looked at the people who were surging in under the black pressure, and sure enough, they were all rushing towards the military array where he was and the two military formations nearby.

The military numbers of these three Song armies are all Wurui Army, but they are the new army recruited by Li Tingzhi, the senator of the Fu Division, after Jia Rudao was transferred to Lianghuai, -- the composition of the Southern Song Dynasty army is very different from that of the Northern Song Dynasty, and the forbidden army that was relied on by the Northern Song Dynasty as the Great Wall fell to the status of the original box army after crossing to the south. The main force of the army in the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty was the semi-warlord Imperial Army, which was first pulled up by Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, Zhang Jun, Wu Lin and other Zhongxing generals, and was later named the Imperial Front Army (also known as the Imperial Front Garrison Army) after being controlled by the Southern Song Dynasty.

However, these imperial armies have the problem of continuous exhaustion of combat effectiveness. Often, when it is newly established, the troops are united as one, and the combat effectiveness of the troops is also the strongest. And after a long time, all kinds of shortcomings of the feudal army will appear one by one, and the combat effectiveness of the troops will naturally plummet. In the Kaixi Northern Expedition launched by Minister Han Tuoxuan, the imperial army was exhausted.

Therefore, after the failure of the Kaixi Northern Expedition, the guards of the Southern Song Dynasty front began to recruit new troops to replace the original imperial army. It is a bit of a big group in the late Qing Dynasty to train the armed forces. Of course, these new recruits are also the same semi-warlord armament, and they also have the problem of declining combat effectiveness over time. Therefore, once the front line is in an emergency, it has become a common practice in the Southern Song Dynasty to recruit new troops for emergencies. And after a period of training, the newly recruited army is often the main force on the battlefield of resistance against Mongolia. When the generals and officers of the newly recruited army had eaten enough and began to corrupt, the combat effectiveness of the troops began to deplete again and became unusable. And the Wurui Army is such an arm.

The sound of the horn sounded in the distance, tearing through the cries and wails on the battlefield, and rushed straight towards the military formation of the Wurui army. The sound of this horn means that the attack of the Mongol Han infantry has begun!

Chen Dexing raised his head and looked forward, and saw a huge white flag set up in the center of the Mongolian army's large array thousands of paces away, and there were nine streamers on the flag, hunting and fluttering in the north wind -- this was a symbol of the great military might of the Mongol Empire, and the Mongols called it "Chagan Sulide". Chen Dexing had seen such a flag when he traveled to Ordos in later generations, and at that time, he heard from the Mongolian tour guide that this flag could only be used by the Mongolian Great Khan.

Could it be that the Mongolian Khan Meng Ge arrived at the city of Yangzhou?

"This is the banner of Yeliugan!" Monk Liu frowned, "Just opposite us, the northern captives are going to storm us here!" ”

It turned out that this Nine Tours of Baixu was not only available to the Mongol Great Khan, Genghis Khan once awarded it to Mu Huali, the generalissimo of the Jin Expedition and the king of Taishi, who passed through the Central Plains. And when the Marshal of the Winged Mongol Capital was also ordered to supervise the army to destroy the Song Dynasty, he also got a Jiuyou Baixu from the Great Khan of Meng Ge to strengthen his prestige.

With the sound of horns, three huge infantry phalanxes marched from the left flank of the Mongol battle line into the center of the battlefield. Their equipment was roughly the same as that of the Song army, neatly wearing helmets, heavy leather armor, and in their hands they were not spears, but a round shield and a ring-headed knife more than three feet long. At the same time, more than 2,000 Mongolian armor soldiers had dismounted their horses and lined up in four horizontal formations with bows and arrows, as if they wanted to cover the attack of the Mongol heavy infantry with bows and arrows.
