Shortly after dawn the next day, Li Cheng's army had already begun to move. Hundreds of thousands of people were originally divided into two battalions, east and west, echoing each other from afar, at this time, the doors of the camps on both sides were wide open, and countless armored soldiers, cavalry, cavalry attendants, no armored men, crossbowmen, trebuchets, and groups of people rushed out, towards the opposite side of Yue Fei's station.

Yue Fei also got up early, and took his soldiers to the horses, and when the enemy pressed out, the more than 20,000 cavalry of the Song army were already ready to stop and prepare to engage in battle.

The infantry team of more than 40,000 people, according to the back and forth of the reconnaissance cavalry, can rush to the battlefield before and after the engagement. Moreover, he had already rested beforehand, so there should not be much problem in terms of mental and physical strength, which also made Yue Fei feel at ease.

Originally, the Song army fought with the enemy, and the biggest problem was that the infantry moved slowly, and they could defeat the enemy in many battles, but they could only fight into a rout battle, but could not completely annihilate it, inflicting fatal losses on the enemy.

According to the history books, the Song and Jin countries fought many times, and several times the Song soldiers defeated the enemy, but because of their slow movements, they let the tiger return to the mountain, and even in several battles, because the infantry moved too slowly, missed the fighter and led to a big defeat.

Yue Fei's infantry was out of order this time, and the cavalry arrived first and the infantry could not arrive for a long time, but he did not want to delay more, so that the infantry began to fight the enemy before they arrived on the battlefield, which was really limited by the situation at that time, and it was not the reason why the commander could not take into account the battlefield situation in advance and prepare early.

At the end of the morning, the two armies began to make contact, and on the battlefield that stretched for more than ten miles, Li Chengxian pressed on it with more than 100,000 infantry, and the black pressure of the armor and stomach gathered into a sea, and countless spears and spears emitted a dazzling cold light in the sun.

Yue Fei controlled his horse under the high slope, and coldly watched his cavalry charge the front line of the enemy's infantry several times, scattering the enemy's front team, but the number of enemy soldiers was too large, and Li Cheng had made a bloody investment. In addition to rewarding the three armies with cattle and wine, he also made a special promise that the generals and soldiers would be rewarded richly for the victory of this battle, so the morale of the soldiers was much higher than usual. The front team collapsed at the first touch, but the back team immediately caught up, and the front team was not as good as before. As soon as the cavalry is dispersed, it can cause the whole army to be defeated.

Yue Fei watched it for a long time, and knew that Li Cheng had indeed made a bloody investment today, so he turned his head to Gao Chong, Yue Yun and the others and smiled: "Today, Li Cheng really took out all his belongings. ”

Yue Yun only listened to his father's order to rush and kill on the battlefield, but he rarely dared to talk nonsense, but Gao Zhong and Xu Qing had no taboos, and immediately smiled: "It seems that there are fifty or sixty thousand people with armor, more than 100,000 people without armor, and fifty or sixty thousand crossbowmen, and the strikers are engaged with us."

At the end, there are still those who have not left the camp. Gee. There are more than 200,000 people, and they want to crush us to death with the number of people. ”

At that time, the army was huge and uneven, and it was difficult to distinguish between the elite and the auxiliary. Before the rectification of the forbidden army of the Song army, there were also people with armor, people without armor, cavalry, and servants, and then equipment and salaries were issued according to grades, so the treatment and equipment between each different military branches were very different, and the combat effectiveness was naturally like a cloud.

Zhao Huan improved the forbidden army, the most important thing was to cancel the establishment of people without armor and servants, and the forbidden army was 100,000 in the past. More than half or even eight or nine times out of ten are organized like this, and since the abolition, they are all armored samurai, and their combat effectiveness is naturally more than 100 times stronger than before.

The infantry of the Song army had already rushed to the left and near the left of the battlefield, but Yue Fei did not immediately put the infantry into the battlefield, and the soldiers of the two armies of Shilling Shengjie and Destroying Feng were prepared for battle, while nearly 30,000 people of the front army and the Chinese army rested a little. He first threw himself into the battlefield on the right side, and in a more dangerous place, he prepared to meet the enemy's cavalry assault.

He knew that the quality of Li Cheng's army was low, and the core backbone was only Li Cheng's own Chinese army, except for the cavalry, and he could only fight a battle.

Yue Fei has been in a hundred battles, so naturally he will not fall for him, from the time the opponent comes out of the battle, he only uses a small number of small rangers, repeatedly put into use, constantly hitting the enemy's ground forward, frustrating the opponent's morale, saving his own manpower and horsepower, and preparing to cross the enemy's main force at one time.

The two armies were deliberately delaying on the one hand, and on the other hand, they were unable to charge, so they could only move forward slowly, enduring the harassment of the enemy's cavalry. From the hour to noon, a few hours passed, Li Cheng's infantry changed countless generals, moved back and forth, and even beheaded a few defeated middle-level generals, and the defeated soldiers were also killed and blamed, so although the elite cavalry of the Song army was unstoppable, the opponent relied on the large number of infantry, and also fought steadily step by step, approaching step by step, on the local battlefield, and a small number of cavalry surrounded and besieged, the Song cavalry was in danger many times, fortunately, with his own excellent stomach, the war horse was also a good horse, and the left and right rushed out of the encirclement.

At this point in the war, both sides knew that the decisive moment was coming, and the commanders of both sides deployed troops, and countless heralds galloped left and right on the battlefield for dozens of miles, conveying the latest orders of the commanders.

Yue Fei endured so far, knowing that the enemy's main force had lost the sharpness of the battle when he first came out, and saw that Shengjie and Destroying Feng were also arrayed forward, because he had rested for a long time, although he was carrying heavy armor on his body, he was still in good spirits and full of fighting spirit.

As for the chariot soldiers, he knew that the use of them on this battlefield would inevitably outweigh the losses, so he had already ordered the convoy to retreat together with the baggage and not to participate in the battle.

Contrary to his expectations, Li Cheng did not enter the cavalry early. He knew that the Song army had no horses and was experienced in dealing with cavalry, so he pinned his hopes on the frontal infantry battlefield, hoping to repel the mobile forces of the Song army first, and then dispatch cavalry to cooperate with the infantry to pursue and kill the Song army's infantry.

The front army of the Song army and the middle army waited in formation, only watching their cavalry rushing left and right in the enemy's infantry, but he was guarding the flank of the cavalry, preventing the enemy cavalry from killing, and sitting back and watching the central battlefield careless, he was really anxious.

And what is even more anxious, of course, is still wearing heavy armor, but has been watching the lively victory and destruction of the two armies behind the battle array.

Yue Fei strategized and was not in a hurry to invest in the elite, but the two armies of Shengjie and Destroying Feng only felt that the commander ignored and despised them, and they were all dressed in dozens of pounds of armor and stomach, and their whole bodies were covered with iron, only their eyes were exposed, and the weather was noon, and they only felt that the heat was unstoppable, because there was no general order, and the heavy infantry could only watch the enemy's infantry get closer and closer, and the stuffiness in their hearts and the stuffiness brought by the weather and the armor stomach made these soldiers breathe fire in their eyes, and they just wanted to rush forward immediately.

The enemy is getting closer and closer, the Song army has been fighting with the enemy for dozens of battles, although in the plains, and the horse is on foot, the individual and overall quality of the Song army is far more than the enemy, but after all, it is a dignified battle, the enemy's morale at the beginning is not low, counting on more than 20,000 cavalry to break through the enemy ten times in one fell swoop, but it can't be done.

Yue Fei saw that the cavalry under his command were showing signs of exhaustion, and knew that they would need to use these two armies to charge the battle for a while, and it was not a good thing to exhaust their strength now. He sighed, put away the idea of defeating the enemy with cavalry and the front and middle armies alone, and passed down the general's order, so that Shengjie and the two armies of Destruction Feng stepped forward together and fought head-on towards the enemy position.

Under the dazzling midday sun, a group of personal soldiers galloped past Yue Fei, and after running for miles, they arrived in front of the infantry armor.

The team leading the team is shouting, more than ten people spread their flags together, the battle flag of the red flag was made by the fierce wind belt, this team of cavalry in more than 20,000 foot soldiers galloped by, and the red battle flag was also clearly seen by all the soldiers.

With the arrival of the flag, the war drums in front of the Buren Army immediately made a loud sound, and the soldiers of the Buren Army who were originally sitting on the ground stood up one after another, Fu Qing, Dong Xian and other generals did not go into battle in person, but gave orders again and again, and the orders around them were also waved again and again, and the orders were passed on in the flag language.

I could only hear the sound of the nail leaves, and more than 20,000 soldiers got up in turn, and a huge wave of red copper and iron rose one after another, rolling straight forward.

The drums kept beating, and the marching army began to march in a neat line, all the way forward.

Mo Dao is at the forefront, with a strong stomach, like a wall. On both sides are knife players, holding a round shield in their left hand and an iron knife in their right hand, corresponding to the Mo knife hand in the middle.

The two infantry armies had rested for a long time, Yue Fei had not used them to fight for a long time, and the whole army was holding their breath.

Because the infantry army has been sitting in place, this strong army did not attract the attention of the enemy, at this time, suddenly the banner is everywhere, waving in the wind, and the infantry army is full of armor, from head to toe is almost completely wrapped in iron armor, such a strangely dressed, like a steel beast like the infantry suddenly appeared on the battlefield, towards their own head-on killing, but teach the enemy army to catch up, first frightened and frightened.

They fought with the Song cavalry for a long time, the enemy had good mobility, weapons and equipment were excellent, and everyone was outstanding in martial arts.

At this moment, there is such an iron army suddenly killed, although the number of foot soldiers is only more than 20,000, but the roar of the mountains and fields, the iron armor and the Mo knife are like a torrent of steel, but it teaches Li Cheng's subordinates to lose their souls, where to dare to see the specific number of enemies.

The distance between the two armies was early, but in a moment's time, the advance of the Shengjie army, which was running ahead, had already met the enemy's advance.

Yang Zaixing was at the front of the team, although he was a deputy general, he also abandoned his horse and walked at this time, just at the front of the team, seeing that the enemy was only more than ten steps apart, he took a sharp breath, raised the Mo knife in his hand obliquely forward, pressed it hard, and then shouted fiercely: "Kill!" ”
