Seeing that the Song army was approaching step by step, the crossbowmen in the front were bent their bows and arrows, the centurion looked at the captain, the captain looked at the commander of the front, the commander of the Jiaorong army made Chase, Chase silently watched the enemy's approaching distance, the number of crossbowmen of the Song army was twice as many as his own, and the number of cavalry was more than twice as much, to drag the enemy into a melee, to create fighters for the two armies of Bai Yu and Chi Hunt, the only way to do this was to meet each other in short quarters, and use their superior heavy infantry to disrupt the enemy's formation. This was a pre-formulated strategy, as the Song army got closer and closer, Chase raised his left hand, and the three thousand crossbowmen in front tightened the formation, forming six phalanxes in command units, and retreated in an orderly manner from the gaps on both sides and in the middle of the phalanx of the pikemen camp behind. Although the grassroots sergeants who did not know the battle plan in advance were a little strange about Chase's military orders, they all followed them in an orderly manner, which calmly ordered Wu Yingying, who was in the middle of the army's formation, nodded in appreciation, and although the crossbowmen did not fire a single arrow, they had made the first contribution to the smooth change of formation.

The timing of Chase's choice to change the formation was just right, the archers in the front row of the Song army were marching to a place of one and a half arrows, and the four spear battalions behind were waiting to refill the gap, and the front of the Han army formation had become a dense layer of spears, and the distance between the two armies was exactly one stone's throw away. The crossbowmen of the Song people stopped, stretched their bows and arrows, and prepared to give the Hexi army a rain of arrows first!

"Charge!" Wu Yingying, who commanded the Chinese army, ordered loudly, the sergeants around him beat the huge drum, and the spear battalion in front immediately started to move forward, at this moment the Song army crossbowmen were ready to shoot, and the commander in front saw that Wu Yingying's army stood still when it first started, and suddenly attacked with all his strength, and suddenly had some contempt in his heart, according to the convention, the army fought, first used cavalry to test the reality, and then the two armies fought with crossbow arrows at a long distance, until which side could not hold its breath, it would impact the opponent's neat arrow array. As soon as the Han army came up, they charged with all their might, just like a gambler who pressed all his chips on the table in the first hand, which is really very rare.

"Release the arrow!" Dong Zunzhi said in a deep voice, there were only three shots before the enemy, and he couldn't hesitate at this time, six thousand crossbowmen loosened the strings together, and the arrow feathers in the sky covered the scorching sun on their heads for a while, and with a swishing sound, they fell on the head of the Han army who was rushing forward with all their might.

Zhang Kejia, the centurion of the Jiaorong Army, was born in the Guiyi Army and fought in Hexi for many years, seeing that two sergeants in the team had their faces a little pale, and in the face of the overwhelming rain of arrows, his hand unconsciously wanted to touch the shield hanging on his waist, and shouted loudly: "Keep in formation, go all out!" The two sergeants ate him, shivered, put their hands back, and clenched the barrel of the gun on the shoulder of the robe in front of him.

The sharp arrows fell into the Han army without any cover, although Wu Yingying had tried his best to provide armor protection for the soldiers, but the armor could not be made into an iron can, and many arrows were inserted into the gaps in the armor, and the sergeant who was shot was forced to follow the pace of the troops, and some fell to the ground while marching, but few people shouted. The pace of the advance of the whole army is getting faster and faster.

Dong Zunzhi led the Long Wei Army, Xiaowu Army, Tongyuan Army, Hujie Army and other forbidden armies are veterans of the battle formation, as soon as they saw the Han Army's tenacious posture that was not moved by arrows, they knew that they had encountered a strong enemy, and many crossbowmen had shifted their attention to the horizontal swords and shields on their waists while drawing their bows, and most of them realized that a bloody hand-to-hand combat was inevitable. The Central Plains Forbidden Army and the Han Army in the northeast of Hebei have competed for many years, and they are quite familiar with each other's combat strength, and in the eyes of these forbidden troops, only from the performance under the rain of arrows, Wu Yingying commanded this Han army, and the tenacity and courage to fight were better than the Taiyuan soldiers.

"Shoot the arrows!" "Release the arrows!" "Draw your sword!" "Forward!" The three rounds of arrows did not seem to have dealt a substantial blow to the Hexi army on the surface, and the speed of their impact was too fast. In order to prevent the enemy from rushing directly into the crossbowmen, the sword and shield men in the rear of the Song army could not wait for the crossbowmen to retreat as a whole, and hurriedly rushed forward from behind.

Wu Yingying of the Chinese army can see clearly that these forbidden troops are worthy of being the elite who can block the iron cavalry charging formation, and in the face of the overwhelming impact of the spear array, the Hujie army and the Tongyuan sergeant soldiers used their flesh and blood to carry down the originally indestructible spear array. Some of the sword and shield bearers abandoned their long knives and held their shields in front with both hands, still being pushed back again and again by four or five spears, while others abandoned their fits and threw themselves into the spear bushes of the Hexi army, ignoring the sharp blades of the spearmen in the rear formation, desperately holding the large spear shafts with both hands, creating opportunities for the sergeants behind to enter the spear formation. And the crossbowmen of the Song army who retreated didn't care about packing up their bows and crossbows, and some simply drew their swords and followed behind the sword and shield bearers, and went forward to kill the Hexi army one after another. To the south, the spearmen of the Hexi Army rushed forward desperately, and to the north, the sabers and shield bearers of the forbidden army and the crossbowmen who drew their swords struggled to resist, and the two armies were at a stalemate for a while.

Seeing that there were many casualties among the soldiers in the front, Dong Zunzhi frowned, and ordered: "Let the party and the Tubo people attack, we can't let our people bleed in vain." The banner was raised, and the party cavalry and the Tubo cavalry, who were originally a little amused, sped up to kill the two wings of the Hexi Army. He wore the golden helmet of the great leader of the Liugu Tribe, which had been passed down for generations, and behind him he waved the banner of the Hexi Jiedu envoy, and shouted loudly to the Tubo brave generals around him: "The time for revenge is here, kill Wu Hero!" Clamping his horse between his legs, he urged the eight thousand cavalry to rush towards Wu Hero's handsome banner from the left side. Yinzhou Thorn Shi Cai Keyuan led the army forward, while paying attention to the battle situation of the Chinese army, and Tang Gudao, the state general around him: "Restrain all the captains, don't attack too fast, this is not our place, if you want to contribute, you should also contribute more efforts from the Tubo people!" Although the cavalry groups on both wings have their own thoughts, they have created great pressure on the Mo knife responsible for protecting the flanks, the Mo knife was originally a sharp weapon to restrain the cavalry, but under the disparity in numbers, it suddenly put the four Mo knife battalions under great pressure, many Mo knife men have several cavalry running around on war horses, scimitar spears together, left and right, difficult to cope, the captains can only command the Mo knife hand to tighten the formation, shoulder to shoulder into a tight knife formation, even with the Mo knife battalion covered by the sword and shield battalion, the bow and crossbow battalion is also tightly squeezed together, the Tubo cavalry took the opportunity to spare the large array, when it was extremely critical, Xin Gu led the hussars to launch a counterattack, expelled the Tibetan cavalry back, the 5,000 party cavalry was still eyeing the tiger, and the hussars were only able to protect the rear of the formation, but they were unable to concentrate their forces to defeat the Tibetan cavalry.

"Lord, the situation is critical, can you let the two battalions of Chi Hunt and Bai Yu attack. Seeing that the Modao battalions on both sides were squeezing under the pressure of the superior cavalry, it was becoming more and more difficult to resist, and said urgently.
