…

Liu Yanqing did not observe the Tiger Army for more than half a month in vain.

At least, Liu Yanqing dared to be sure that the weakest point of Li Cunbu's Crescent Formation was the Chinese army.

Although the Chinese army of the Crescent Formation has 50,000 Tiger Ben troops, although the soldiers of these 50,000 Tiger Ben Army also stand up straight like other soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army, and although there are chariot formations, horse rejection formations and antlers here, although there are 5,000 tall heavy infantry wearing chain mail behind them, this still cannot hide the indisputable fact that the Chinese army is weaker here than other places, and these chariot formations, horse rejection formations, antlers and heavy infantry are more like trying to cover up.

Liu Yanqing even dared to vouch for it with his own eyes!

- If the Chinese army here is not a recruit who has not experienced many battle formations, Liu Yanqing is willing to deduct his eyes.

For Liu Yanqing, a veteran who has been in the army since he was a teenager and has been in the army for nearly 40 years, he can smell the immature smell of a recruit who has never been on the battlefield, no matter how far away he is.

Many generals in the Song army supported Liu Yanqing's judgment.

It is precisely because of this that Liu Yanqing arranged the current attack formation for the Chinese army of the Crescent Formation.

It can be said that up to now, the trend of the war has been exactly according to Liu Yanqing's prediction in advance.

If there is a difference, it is just that the towers, small counterweight trebuchets and hand-drawn stone throwers of the Tiger Ben army caused a lot of casualties to the Song army.

——In Liu Yanqing's imagination, with the protection of the Jingsai army and the heavy armored cavalry, the infantry of the Song army should not have too many casualties, no, the generals of the Tiger Army who control the towers, trebuchets and stone throwers are very professional, and they almost maximize the lethality of the towers, trebuchets and stone throwers.

However, this does not affect the final result of the entire decisive battle, so it is not worth Liu Yanqing's emotion.

What really moved Liu Yanqing was the Chinese army officers and soldiers who he had defined as the biggest weakness of the Crescent Formation.

Liu Yanqing did not make a mistake in judgment, most of these Chinese soldiers have never been on the battlefield, and they have also made many mistakes that recruits will make, such as being nervous, fearing the enemy, wanting to escape, and so on......

But after the life-and-death confrontation, these recruits were like machines, moving their formations rhythmically as if they had been measured with a ruler, and stabbing out the four-meter or six-meter-long spears in their hands over and over again.

How so?

In fact, this mainly stems from the trainers of this army - two poles.

When Li Cun led the army to fight in the south and the north, the main task of the generals who were left at home by Li Cun was to train his soldiers.

Unlike Liang Jin's rich experience, and unlike other people's questions if they don't understand, Erzhuzi feels that Li Cun teaches things the best, and there is no need to learn other messy things.

Therefore, Erzhuzi used what he learned from Li Cun to teach soldiers, train soldiers, teach repeatedly, and practice repeatedly, so that these things could be integrated into the bone marrow of every soldier he brought out.

The end result is that the 30,000 people in the second pole department slowly become like their main commander the second pole, with a straight momentum and strong obedience. ….

After inspecting the training of the soldiers of the Second Pole Division, Li Zheng gave the Second Pole and his soldiers a high evaluation, saying that they would definitely be able to become elite soldiers in the future.

This time, after Li Cun decided on the strategic strategy of defending and counterattacking and completely annihilating Liu Yanqing's Song army, the first thing he decided was to put the second pole division, which had never participated in the battle at all, in the center of the Chinese army, that is, the place destined to fight the bloodiest and hardest battles.

——The reason why Li Cun chose the second pole division to carry out this most arduous task is, first of all, of course, that the second pole division looks the weakest, and can attract the Song army to take the initiative to attack his own Chinese army, so that he can completely annihilate the Song army with many cavalry, and secondly, the second pole division is actually not weak, they just haven't gone through the baptism of the battlefield, if they are extremely obedient After the baptism of the battlefield, they will definitely be a first-class strong army.

When choosing the commander of the Chinese army, Li Cunli decided to be the most familiar with this army

and the second pole who is most familiar with the phalanx, and let Han Shizhong be responsible for commanding the closing.

As soon as the battle began, the second pole was rushed out of a gap by the more than 100 Jingsai soldiers because the cold forging armor on the Jingsai soldiers and horses could not be pierced at all.

If this is replaced by other troops, it is likely that the Song army will tear apart the defense in one fell swoop.

But the soldiers of the second pole department, under the command of the second pole, continued to slowly move their positions in the unique rhythm of the second pole, and at the same time stabbed out the spears in their hands, one shot after another, just like the two poles usually train them.

In this process, a large number of soldiers of the second pole division were harvested by the heavy armored cavalry of the Song army who rushed out of the gap that was broken open by the Jingsai army.

But the miraculous thing is that this gap was not only not completely opened by Song Jun's horse army, but also slowly began to be stitched up after opening to a certain extent.

——After the soldiers of the Second Pole Division paid almost seven or eight thousand casualties, the gap opened by the Jingsai Army was magically blocked by the soldiers of the Second Pole Division.

Moreover, the rhythm of the soldiers of the second pole department is getting better and better.

——Although because of the violent impact, the second pole part of the whole retreated a large distance, which also made the half-moon shaped formation bend in, the original convex part of the Song army, now concave, but the soldiers of the second pole department also slowly resisted the Song army's offensive, whether it was the Song army horse army, or the Song army infantry army that followed the Song army's horse army, in the end, the speed of the Song army's horse army completely slowed down, the Song army and the horse army lost its biggest advantage, and the soldiers of the second pole department not only blocked the Song army's assault, the phalanx gradually began to exert its might, and the spears in their hands began to harvest a large number of the lives of the Song army......

Seeing this, the soldiers of the Song army, especially the soldiers of the Song army and the horse army, panicked!

- If this gap can't be opened again and let the war horses run, then they, the Song army and the horse army, will let the Tiger Ben army and the infantry army harvest their lives, and the Song army also knows that the biggest advantage of their side is that they have these horse army, and the premise that a cavalry can be worth three, five, or ten infantry is that the horse can run, otherwise, it is difficult to say whether the cavalry can defeat the infantry one-on-one, so the Song army infantry army risked death to assault, and wanted to help the Song army and horse army tear another gap, so that the horses of the Song army and the horse army could run again..........

Here, a bloody battle began......

As for the Jingsai army and the heavy armored cavalry who rushed out, before they could think about where to turn around and kill back, they ran into two battalions of heavy armored infantry of the Tiger Ben army head-on.

Meng Long and Xiang Hu divided the two battalions of heavy armored infantry into ten groups, each group of 500 heavy armored infantry, 5,000 swords and heavy axes were dragged upside down to the ground, and met the Jingsai army and heavy armored cavalry who had passed through the phalanx with the momentum of a wall.

At the moment when he was about to engage in hand-to-hand combat, Meng Long saw the opportunity and decisively ordered: "Kill!"

At the same time, the horse chopping knife in Meng Long's hand, the sword light was like snow, and it slashed at the cavalry of the Jingsai Army who was the first to rush out.

Wasn't the Jingsai Army invincible before?

Now, Meng Long's more than a dozen pounds of horse chopping knife in his hand slashed it, even if he didn't break the defense, he smashed the previously invincible Jingsai army cavalry off the war horse.

At the same time, Xiang Hu also used a heavy axe to cut down a cavalry of the Jingsai Army.

And once the cavalry of the Jingsai Army dismounted from their horses, they were at the mercy of the Tiger Ben Army's soldiers, and they had almost no power to resist.

It is not an exaggeration to say that in a short time, the Jingsai army, which was almost invincible more than a hundred years ago, was all knocked down by the 5,000 heavy armored infantry of the Tiger Ben Army.

As for the war horses of the Jingsai army, no one cares, this vicinity has been surrounded by the Tiger Ben army, and these horses can't run.

Next, these ten groups of heavy armored infantry lined up in ten lines of defense and waited here in the gap, when one Song army soldier came out, they cut one, and when two Song army soldiers came out, they cut a pair, in short, they cut as many Song army soldiers as they came.

Can a fish run through one large net, or ten large nets in a row?

Therefore, all the soldiers of the Song army who rushed out of the gap opened by the Jingsai army, without exception, all became the ghosts of the heavy infantry soldiers under the swords and axes.

But the heavy infantry officers and men were a little regretful that they hadn't finished killing yet, and the soldiers of the Second Pole Department sewed up this gap that they had been looking forward to with great difficulty.

There was no way, the soldiers of the heavy infantry were in a state of hanging up again, waiting for Li Cun's next instructions.

Crescent array, strong at the two tips and weak in the center.

The reason why Li Cun chose to use this formation was to first defeat the two wings of the Song army, and the task of the Chinese army was to dissipate the impact of the Song army, which was to "blunt its edge and fold its two wings".

The more the Song army wedged in, the more the queue of the Tiger Ben army shrank inward from both sides, and the entire formation of the Tiger Ben army became longer and longer in the longitudinal direction, and narrower and narrower in the transverse direction.

When the Song army's horse army escorted the Song army's infantry army to a certain extent, Li Cun gave Han Shizhong an order to let Han Shizhong command the elite infantry on both wings and the two pro-guard horse armies to quickly squeeze the two wings of the Song army.

When the sunlight happened to shine on the eyes of the Song soldiers, making it difficult for the Song soldiers to open their eyes, the Song soldiers collided with each other, injured themselves a lot, and made a mess.

The time has come!

Without hesitation, Li Cun gave the order to launch a counteroffensive on all fronts. ….

After Han Shizhong received Li Cun's order, he commanded the two flanks of the Huben army to suddenly attack, and with the advantage of the number of local areas, he defeated the Song army and the horse army, cutting off the Song army's retreat.

And the infantry on both flanks of the Tiger Army continued to squeeze the Song army, which was sandwiched in the middle.

After a while, the Tiger Ben army formed a circle and surrounded the Song army.

Ever since the gap opened by the Second Pole Division and closed the Jingsai Army, Liu Yanqing realized that he had underestimated this new army, and the situation began to be unfavorable to their side.

Liu Yanqing immediately made a decision and sent out the reserve led by Liu Guangshi, Qu Duan and other generals, that is, nearly 10,000 light cavalry, preparing to detour back to the back of the Tiger Ben Army to shoot the Tiger Ben Army and open an exit for the surrounded Song Army.

But when Liu Guangshi, Qu Duan and others led more than 10,000 light cavalry to the battlefield, the 300 armored cavalry and 5,000 heavy armored infantry of the Huben army also picked up the big shield and went around the front of the battlefield to form a very long shield wall according to Li Cun's instructions.

At the same time, the towers of the Tiger Army were also pushed to both ends of this shield wall by the Minfu to shoot the Song light cavalry who dared to approach the central theater of operations.

But—

The defense of the Tiger Ben Army seemed to be able to keep out the light cavalry of the Song Army, but it was not.

You know, not to mention that the heavy armored infantry of the Tiger Ben Army can't run at all, even the armored cavalry of the Tiger Ben Army is very slow to run, and the speed of the tower, which requires a lot of people to push, is even slower.

Speaking of the light cavalry of the Song army, its speed can be said to be the highest in this era.

Therefore, as long as the light cavalry of the Song army bypasses the defense line of the Tiger Ben army, they can attack the encirclement of the Tiger Ben army, release the besieged Song army, and even help the besieged Song army to counter the Tiger Ben army and complete a gorgeous reversal.

It's just that it takes some time.

Will Li Cun give Song Jun this time?

Answer: Yes - of course it won't be given, does it need to be said?

First, the more than 2,000 small counterweight trebuchets and hand-pulled catapults began to wield, and they kept throwing cannon stones into the encirclement.

This time, trebuchets and catapults no longer have to worry about not being able to smash accurately.

Nearly 100,000 Song troops gathered in the encirclement, no matter how they smashed, a cannon stone flying over would definitely kill one or even more than one Song army soldiers.

Do you think that's the end of it?

The 500 unconscionable cannons, which had been prepared for a long time, with a caliber of more than one foot and a length of more than three feet, were lined up and bombed against the encirclement, completely ignoring the consumption of explosives.

And in this way, can Li Cun's madness be fully displayed?

How is this enough?

To know

For Li Cun, this battle is a one-step king and a one-step death!

Just ask, how dare Li Cun not go all out?!

didn't say anything, while the conscienceless cannon launched an overwhelming bombardment of the Song army in the encirclement, Li Cun also gave a ruthless order to the officers and soldiers of the Shenji Battalion who removed and controlled the conscienceless cannon - each person was ready to throw a hundred thunderbolts into the encirclement......
