Just after the third watch, the Song army camp woke up from its slumber, and the scouts quickly left the camp in batches to observe the movements of the Jin army. The fire army chops wood and makes a fire to prepare a slightly hearty breakfast for the whole camp, and no one knows when the next meal will be eaten, and some people eat the last meal in their lives. The veterinarians picked out the sick horses from the herd, and the healers were not idle, distributing pills to each soldier to escape the heat.

The fighters were busy wiping their weapons and arranging their armor. Those who are calm and seem to be a little slow and methodical must be veterans who have been on the battlefield and have been killed, they have become accustomed to this silence before the battle, and know how to use and enjoy the little time left; And those who are excited and chattering, and from time to time looking at a certain place in a daze, must be newcomers who have not been in battle, they pretend to be calm but can not hide the tension and fear in their hearts.

As soon as breakfast was over, a group of light horsemen, rangers, who were tasked with scouting and stopping the enemy's harassment, had already left the camp ahead of the main army. At the right moment, fierce drums sounded, and the armies immediately formed their ranks; Then the second drum sounded, the armies had been assembled, and the commanders of the armies would rush to the big tent of the Chinese army; After the three-way drum is over, the whole army is ready to go!

A quarter of an hour later, the whole army marched out of the camp for three miles, and the battlefield at this time belonged to those rangers, who galloped back and forth in the middle of the battlefield and entangled with the Jin army rangers, competing for the initiative on the battlefield and preventing the other side from harassing the troops who were arraying. The rangers are the most elite warriors in their respective armies, so they are also the most tragic, once they fight, they will not die, and their victory or defeat will determine the location of the battlefield, if the enemy appears at the gate of their camp. That would be a shame for the rangers!

This time, Zhao Ta discharged the 'big fish scale array', which was perfected and improved by the Mongolian hero Genghis Khan a hundred years later on the basis of inheriting his predecessors. At that time, Chinese cavalry tactics were at their peak, and the Mongol cavalry swept through Eastern Europe and Western Asia. Among them, this array is the most famous.

Zhao Ta took the first brigade and the second brigade of the lion general dragoon as the vanguard, and the third brigade and the 5,000 Hezhou army as the vanguard; With Yeli commanding 20,000 cavalry as the left flank, and Zhengchuan commanding 20,000 cavalry as the right flank; With the dragon as the team, Zhou Dajun led 20,000 cavalry to the queen; Zhao Ta led the Guards Brigade and the 1st Artillery Brigade as the Chinese army, and responded in the center. The entire formation was all cavalry, a real cavalry battle.

This is an echelon formation, and during the battle, its vanguard tests the enemy's situation, and after discovering the enemy's weak points, the advance guard immediately attacks. Then the left and right flanks of the second echelon were thrown into battle, and the main forces of the third echelon, the main force of the third echelon, the main army and the apse, launched a fierce assault on the enemy, and the enemy formation was usually broken through under such an onslaught, and then torn apart, and then the enemy army, which was flanked by the Mongols on both sides, quickly collapsed.

Zhao Ta boarded the lookout car and looked south, the Jin army had already finished the formation, and it was still their traditional and best stacked formation, and it could be seen that the number of people was only 20,000 people. This surprised Zhao Ta. According to his expectations, the Jin army should have poured out in the face of such a huge enemy army, but less than half of them were dispatched, and they underestimated the enemy. Or do you have other plans?

But the Jin army didn't give Zhao Ta time to think, and they weren't stupid, knowing that it was the best time for Lu Dao to attack while the enemy was not firmly established. The old saying that the first strike is the strongest and the second strike suffers is highly respected, and they took advantage of this advantage in the battle against the Khitan and Song army. The light cavalry of three thousand men rushed over. The opponent made a move, and Zhao Ta couldn't lag behind. Immediately order the vanguard to fight...

Zong Han looked at the battlefield with a relaxed expression, with his experience, the Song army often collapsed with just one charge, and the next thing he did was to wave the army to cover up and capture the Prince of the Great Song alive. But when he saw the Song army facing the battle, he suddenly felt a tightness in his palms, a chill in his spine, a cold battle in the summer, a compact and neat formation of horses next to horse, and a column like a stone wall, isn't this the stormtroop formation of the Yuanzhou army?

"Impossible!" Zong Han quickly pinched away the idea that had just popped up, how could the Song army have a relationship with the Yuanzhou army, not to mention the distance, the two countries were mortal enemies, and he had never heard of a conflict between the Western Northern Song Army and the Xijing Liao Army, how could he learn this tactic, it must be a coincidence.

Zong Han was taken aback by the echoing sound of gunfire, and the Song army facing the battle on the battlefield approached quickly, and when the two armies were three hundred paces apart, the Song army took off their muskets and fired. That's right, it's the Wonju Army! Now Zong Han is sure that it is his mortal enemy who rushed over, the Yuanzhou army that has suffered heavy losses, don't think that I don't know you if you change your clothes!

Before Zong Han could figure out why the Yuanzhou Army appeared here, the two armies had already collided together. Without any suspense, the 'Yuanzhou Army' once again disrupted its own formation and passed through the formation. Then the second wave, the third wave... Zong Han couldn't bear to see his warriors being ravaged anymore, these three thousand Jurchen warriors didn't know how many people could survive?

But the arrow is ready to fly, it can no longer be missed, at this time the retreat can only be pursued by the enemy, Zong Han saw that the remaining enemy army has gathered again and rushed towards his own team, he can only send troops to meet the battle, hoping to block this wave of enemy attack... The two sides were in another fierce confrontation, and the enemy's attack did not stop until two arrows away from the main formation, and they retreated back like well-fed wolves demonstrating in front of their own army, and less than two thousand cavalry could return to their own army.

'Boom, boom...' hooves like thunder, that wave left, another wave of killing, Zong Han hurriedly ordered the archers to step forward and fire a volley, in order to block the enemy army that attacked the formation, and he soon found that this group of people was obviously not the 'Yuanzhou Army', their formation was scattered, oh ah screamed when they charged, rushed to the front of the formation and pulled their bows and arrows to shoot at their own side, after seeing that the formation was not chaotic, they immediately swept away from the formation, which was obviously the way of playing of the Tangut people!

"Damn, Lao Tzu thought it was really the Yuanzhou Army coming, but it turned out that he just borrowed a little bluff from them!" Zong Han raised his hand to wipe the beads of sweat on his forehead and scolded, he had a bottom in his heart, even if there was a lion in a flock of sheep, it would not change the fact that they were sheep, there was nothing to be afraid of!

"Seri, strike!" Zong Han ordered Tiefutu to attack, and in the battle with the Yuanzhou army, Zong Han gained some experience, that is, the light cavalry of the Yuanzhou army could not stick to the cheap without the support of artillery in front of his Tiefutu, and this group of cross-border Yuanzhou troops obviously did not have those big killing weapons, otherwise they would not have used it.

"Marshal, pikemen of the Wonju Army!" Zong Han was beautiful for a while, and was disturbed by Yelu Ma Wu beside him, he raised his eyes to see the Song army's front of the forest of riding spears, colorful gun flags fluttering in the wind... (To be continued......)
