One blow of strength, then decline, three and exhaustion. His two generals won four battles in a row and killed three people, and Zhang Shijie's eyes were already shining. At this time, anyone can feel the momentum of the Song army at this time, Zhang Shijie did not plan to fight Zhang Hongfan today at the beginning, but the current momentum must not be allowed to dissipate. He shouted to the flag bearer: "Beat the drums." Order the former army to fight! ”

The earth-shattering war drums sounded in the Red Turban formation, and two thousand soldiers lined up neatly and began to move in the direction of the enemy. The morning sun shone on their steel armor, and the reflection of the sunlight enveloped the whole team in a certain light.

Zhang Hongfan is also a famous general in cold weapon warfare, and when he sees this situation, he knows that there are only two options now, either withdraw his troops immediately, or engage the Song army, which has high morale. Withdrawal can avoid losses, but it can also greatly damage morale. So Marshal Zhang Hongfan ordered the guards around him: "Archer, shoot that lady!" ”

After speaking, Zhang Hongfan and the generals around him ordered, "The left army is ready to meet the enemy." The cavalry prepared to outflank the rear of the Song army. ”

The first to complete the preparation was naturally the group of archers, who opened their bows and arrows and shot at the Li family girl who was preparing to retreat. As the saying goes, the general is only afraid of inches, and no matter how tight the armor is, he can't cover everything. Just one shot is life-threatening.

The Li girl's team was now retreating, and she walked last, and in the face of the locust-like bow and arrow, she reined in her horse, took off her thick silk cloak and picked it up on the head of her spear, and spun it like a windmill. Qin Mohuan retreated earlier than the girl of the Li family, and at this time he was already out of range of the Mongolian army's bow and arrow, and he was shocked when he saw the Mongolian army suddenly shoot cold arrows. But under the pistol technique of the Li girl, most of the arrows that were shot were blocked by cloaks, and only a few were set on Miss Li. The quality of the Song army's steel armor was excellent, and a few arrows did not work at all.

After surviving this round of arrow rain, the girl of the Li family urged the horse away and disappeared into the gap in the queue of the front team of the Song army. The advance team of the Song army was also angry when they saw that the Mongol army was so cunning. When they reached a stone's throw away, everyone stood still, and the crossbowmen quickly wound the big steel arm crossbow and shot a round at the Mongol army. A scream was immediately heard from the front of the Mongol army.

In the blink of an eye, shields were erected in the Mongol army, and Mongol archers began to return fire. When the Mongols' arrows rained into the sky, the shield-bearers of the Song army held their shields above them, and in an instant they built a steel dome. The rain of arrows of the Mongol army was completely unable to break through such a defense.

The Mongol army did not stop either, and about 3,000 Mongol troops set out from the left flank of the Mongol array and advanced towards the Song army, which was located in the center. From the point of view of the Song army, those Mongol troops came from the right and pressed towards the right flank of the Song army's front. The Song archers in the front row used a ratchet to line the large steel arm crossbow under the cover of a steel shield, and then fired at the Mongols. The shields held above the heads of the troops defended themselves against the bows and arrows of the Mongol army.

Zhang Shijie's Chinese army was spread on a small slope that could be seen everywhere in Hebei, and he was in the Chinese army, condescendingly watching the 2,000 strikers of the Red Turban Army withstand the attack of the entire Mongolian army on the opposite side. Zhang Shijie had no intention of going to help, and such an attack was too weak in his opinion. If Zhang Hongfan only had such an attack power, he would not be able to break through the defense built by the Song army with a large amount of steel.

Zhang Hongfan didn't know what his brother Zhang Shijie was thinking, but Zhang Hongfan knew that he probably couldn't fight with Song Jun. These Song soldiers could live in the walled military station every day, and this alone was completely better than Zhang Hongfan's army living in the wilderness. Now it is necessary to launch an attack when the strength and morale of the Mongol army have not slipped.

At this time, the left flank of the Mongol army was already close to the Red Turban Army, and the Mongol Chinese army stopped shooting arrows to prevent accidental injury to friendly troops. The shields on the heads of the Song army were removed, and the Mongol army also removed the shields that stood in front of them, and the armor-piercing Mongolian pikemen were killed. The armor of the entire Song army was all equipped with spears, and in the face of the Mongol army, the Song army armorers also held their spears and charged.

After the sound of weapons clash with weapons, there were many screams in the Mongol army. Although the Song army's steel armor defense is strong, it is not completely uninjured. However, compared with the number of losses on both sides, the losses of the Mongol army were several times or even ten times that of the Song army.

Zhang Shijie was watching the battle, and there was a report from Tanmalai, "General Zhang, there are signs of outflanking the Mongolian cavalry on the side." ”

"Hmm!" Zhang Shijie responded. With that, he continued to look ahead.

Tanma didn't expect Zhang Shijie to react like this, and he stayed where he was and didn't know what to say. Zhang Shijie saw that Tanma didn't leave, turned his head and said, "I know." Re-explore and report again. ”

On Zhang Hongfan's side, Tanma had already rushed back to report, "Marshal, the cavalry has begun to intimidate the Song army's military station. There were several thousand men in the garrison to defend it, and the cavalry did not attack. ”

"Marshal, the cavalry has reached the flank of the Song army. You can attack at any time. ”

"Good!" Zhang Hongfan nodded. Then he said to the herald: "You let the gunpowder canister used to fight with the Song army in front." ”

The herald went quickly, and the front-line commander of the Song army here saw that the pikemen of the Mongol army had begun to show some signs of being unable to resist, and immediately ordered, "Grenadier, prepare to drop bombs." ”

It didn't take long for Zhang Hongfan to see a huge sound suddenly erupt in Song Jun's array. He was happy in his heart, the powder jar was Zhang Hongfan's killer weapon, and it had great lethality for the dense queue. Looking at the billowing smoke and dust, Zhang Hongfan looked forward to seeing the chaotic situation of the Song army.

Boom Boom! A series of explosions sounded in the Mongolian army array. The movement was full of energy, and the force of the explosion was extraordinary just by listening to it. Zhang Hongfan's face changed when he arrived, and he believed that it was the sound of the explosion of the Song army's gunpowder canister. Seeing the flames rising near the battle line where the Mongol army and the Song army were engaged, the Mongol army was quickly routed and fled.

The Song army followed behind with weapons to chase and kill, Zhang Hongfan saw the situation and reluctantly ordered, "Withdraw!" ”

Both the Mongol Central Army and the Right Army took advantage of the fact that the defeated troops did not flee and broke up the formation, and the rear team changed to the front team and retreated in the direction of the main camp. Most of these people were unarmoured, and they did not carry as many weapons as the Song army, and they retreated very quickly in an orderly situation.

The Song army did not know that the Mongol army had retreated. They chased after the Mongol Left Army. Spears were constantly stabbed in the back as the fleeing Mongols froze.

In order to escape, the Mongolian army kept smashing the weapons in their hands backwards, taking off the armor on their bodies and smashing them backwards, and the girl jumped violently. Throwing away armor is helpful for escaping, and those Mongol soldiers who fled lightly were lighter than the Song army with thirty pounds of armor and weapons. After chasing for a while, the Song army was so tired that they were out of breath, and when they saw the enemy running farther and farther, they could only stop temporarily.

At this moment, he heard a movement of Mingjin withdrawing troops from behind. The Song army, under the command of the commander, began to return to the military formation, stabbing all the Mongol troops who had not been killed for a while along the way.

Zhang Shijie was not ready to continue fighting, he decided to contain Zhang Hongfan's army from the very beginning. As long as the Song army in the direction of Zhigu Village can arrive, the two sides can adopt tactics such as flanking attacks. There is no need to fight to the death with Zhang Hongfan now. Moreover, Zhang Hongfan's army also has a type of troops similar to the grenadiers of the Song Army, which makes Zhang Shijie a little jealous. The Song army was a master of firearms warfare, but the Mongols were also studying hard and did not give up the slightest effort to use firearms.

After the grenade ravaged position, many people fell, and the Song army had nearly 100 people, although wounded, most of them were still alive. The number of wounded on the Mongolian side was six or seven times that of the Song army, and many of them were killed by the bombing or died after being seriously wounded. The uninjured screamed and wailed, making the battlefield like hell on earth.

Zhang Shijie ordered people to kill all these Mongolian troops, and he commanded the medical team to treat the Song army. Although the Song army was wearing steel armor, the gunpowder technology of Mongolia was far inferior to that of the Song army, but the grenade was a grenade after all. The wounded of the Song army were also quite miserable, especially those who were blown up and fractured, and their limbs showed a strange twisting angle, which made people shudder to look at. Zhang Shijie was sober in his heart, fortunately, this battle tested the trump card in Zhang Hongfan's hand, and he could have more comprehensive preparations for the next battle.

The troops directly under the Song army were not very interested in searching for booty, and the troops returned to the station with their own wounded and the dead of battle. The Mongolian cavalry could be seen from a distance along the way, and Zhang Shijie just sent troops to monitor it, and didn't particularly care about these people. As long as their brains are not burned out, the cavalry will not charge the armor arrays of crossbowmen and pikemen alone.

When the brigade returned to the station, Zhang Shijie first verbally commended the meritorious personnel who fought during the day. Only that kind of feudal army would demand that every battle be rewarded, and the actual reward could only be obtained after the war. However, Song Jun also has rewards that are given out every time.

"Qin Mohuan and Li Fangfang, you guys went head-to-head today and won the Order of the Sword. Li Fangfang already has the Order of the Sword, so add half a star to the Order of the Sword. Zhang Shijie announced the rewards for the two in public.

Qin Mohuan withdrew his gaze from Li Fangfang next to him. This is the first time he has stood so close to this female general, and if you look closely, Li Fangfang is about twenty years old and looks very good. But compared to her beauty, what makes people care more about her is the feeling of a superb martial artist. No matter how beautiful an unsheathed blade is, what everyone cares about more is that kind of danger. So Qin Mohuan returned his attention to the more realistic content, that is, the medal given to him.

Any general who goes head-to-head before the battle can get one as long as he wins a game. Qin Mohuan knew about it. Just like the brave battle medal worn by the Song army. Regardless of the officers and soldiers, as long as they are wounded once, they will be given one. Just look at the medals on the chests of those people to know the brave fighting experience of these people.

However, the award of medals is an internal matter of the Red Turban Army directly under the Great Song Dynasty, and other troops did not hesitate to choose the reward in the face of the Red Turban Army's choice of 'medal or reward'. So this was the first time Qin Mohuan had accepted such a thing as a medal, and although he was excited in his heart, Qin Mohuan also noticed that he had no other reward besides the medal.

Zhang Shijie personally put on a medal for Qin Mohuan, although the person who fought with Qin Mohuan did not die, but it was not Qin Mohuan's fault. If it weren't for the Mongols rushing out of the two of them to force Qin Mohuan back with bows and arrows, Qin Mohuan's opponent would definitely die.

It is a medallion with a basic oval shape, a sword in the center, and many holes in the outer ring. Seeing that he had sacrificed his life and forgot to die in exchange for such a thing, Qin Mohuan couldn't help but want to open his mouth with emotion in his heart. But he felt that it was inappropriate, and closed his mouth again. Zhang Shijie smiled and said, "I don't know what Platoon Commander Qin wants to say." ”

"Uh...... I want to ask General Zhang, what does that plus half a star mean? Qin Mohuan could only find a topic.

"If you have a general with the Order of the Sword and go alone, you will add a star if you kill more than ten people. However, everyone felt that this was unfair to less than ten people, so they decided to add half a star. This half star is to tell everyone that although there are less than ten people, there are more than five people. Zhang Shijie explained.

At this time, a special person in charge of the medal came over and asked Li Fangfang to sign and sign on the record, Li Fangfang took out the medal, and the person in charge put the sign of half a star into the hole reserved below. Qin Mohuan secretly counted them and found that there were two and a half stars on it. This shows that Li Fangfang killed at least 25 people in a heads-up.

At this time, you can't count them, but you can only roughly judge that there are more than a dozen holes in the outer ring of the Order of Swords, and if each hole is equipped with stars, then you have to kill more than 100 people in a heads-up. Just thinking about this number, Qin Mohuan felt unspeakably disobedient.

After the award, the daytime battle was put to an end. Zhang Shijie had to complete other work and go to visit the wounded. There is a military hospital in the military station, which is a rare place that is fenced again. As soon as he entered, Zhang Shijie heard the sound of someone screaming. With the walls and the shelter of the inner house, the sound does not reach the outside. This is the reason for the construction of the wall, and listening to the screams of the wounded all night will surely take a serious blow to the morale of the army.

The military doctors are busy, and the hospital is specially equipped with calcium carbide gas lamps, which can emit bright light although they smell bad. On the hastily built operating table, the doctors were trying to remove the armor from the wounded. This action caused the wounded to be in great pain where they had broken their bones, and they screamed.

Although Zhang Shijie felt that he was a person who had experienced despair, he still felt uncomfortable listening to these screams. After walking around the military hospital and seeing that there was nothing for him to do, Zhang Shijie hurriedly left this unpleasant place.

After finishing his work, it was already late at night. Zhang Shijie returned to his tent and lay down, although he wanted to fall asleep immediately, Zhang Shijie's thoughts were chaotic. I don't know if there are any people from the Zhang family among the opponents who fought during the day today, which is what Zhang Shijie is most worried about. Now his son is still in the hands of Zhang Hongfan, if Zhang Hongfan sends his son into battle......

Just thinking of this, Zhang Shijie's heart twitched for a while. He didn't dare to think about it anymore, so he could only get up. But at this time, I don't know what else to do, and I don't dare to think about anything anymore. Zhang Shijie can only take out his treasured spirits, and when it comes to this kind of sorrow, what he can rely on is too limited.
