On the south bank of the Yellow River, Xinhui Prefecture, outside the northern city, the Mongolian army camp.

"Ready! Fire! ”

The Song army's array was boundless, and Lu Yuanting, the commander of the Song army, stood in front of the artillery position, facing the Mongolian army camp, with a hideous expression, roaring and shouting angrily.

"Pong! Disheveled! Disheveled! ”

In the deafening roar, a wall of smoke rose into the air, and hundreds of seven-kilogram solid iron balls roared into the air, tearing the air, splitting their heads and covering their faces, and went straight to the Mongolian army camp in front of them. The roar continued one after another, and another hundred five-pound solid iron balls took off into the air, and the Song army's artillery position was filled with thick smoke.

"Fire!"

The sub-mother cannon in the front of the Song army's artillery position was unwilling to be lonely, and the fire flashed, and the muzzle of the gun spewed out puffs of smoke, and the shotgun fired flat, as fast as a meteor, and went straight to the camp of the Mongolian army.

The fence was torn apart, the arrow tower was cut off, and in the "creaking" sound, it collapsed violently, knocking down a piece of Mongolian army at the same time, stirring up dust all over the ground.

Countless iron balls flew into the camp of the Mongolian army, bouncing and leaping, and on the way through, the blood and flesh of the Mongolian army were blurred, and the wounded were screaming all over the ground. The iron ball continued to collapse the tents of the Mongolian army, some of the horses were smashed and fell to the ground with a scream, and other horses were frightened and ran away, causing riots in the camp.

"Go on!"

Lu Yuanting clenched his fists and ordered the artillery to continue firing.

Xinhuizhou, which is close to the Yellow River, a few miles to the north is the territory of Western Xia. Go straight to Lingzhou City, an important town in Western Xia, but it is only three or four hundred miles away.

Now that the Song army has occupied Lintao Mansion and Lanzhou, why not go further and take bigger steps.

"General, if this recruits the Tatar army, I'm afraid it won't be easy to fight."

Cao Erxiong, the deputy commander of the artillery, commanded the artillery firing and shouted loudly.

The intention of the army to occupy Xinhuizhou is clear at a glance, in addition to opening the passage to Western Xia, there is also the meaning of removing the threat of the Mongol army.

The emperor's camp is in the rear of Lintao Mansion, and if the Mongolian army on the front line of Xinhui Prefecture and Dingxi is not expelled, how can the emperor's stability be guaranteed?

You must know that Genghis Khan's Liupan Mountain camp is east of Dingxi.

The Mongolian army camp in front of him was about 10,000 Mongolian troops, and about half of the cavalry infantry soldiers, and the infantry seemed to be Han troops.

Perhaps it was the Song army's 20,000 troops attacking, or perhaps it was worried that the Jin army in Xinhuizhou City behind them would attack behind them, the Mongolian army did not go out of the camp to fight, but held its position.

Perhaps there is another reason, the Mongolian cavalry from the bitter cold land is not used to fighting in hot weather.

"Better for recruitment! His Majesty sits in Lintao Mansion and has more than 30,000 troops, and Dingxi also has 20,000 troops. Even if the Tatar army comes, let's hold our ground and wait for reinforcements. If reinforcements don't come, just go out! There is artillery thunder, afraid of hair! ”

Sure enough, Lu Yuanting said loudly, disdainful.

A battle to defend the city of Chuzhou seems to have played the blood of the Northwest Frontier Army.

"General, what should I do about Xinhuizhou City? Do you want to take it down? ”

Xinhuizhou City was still under the control of the Jin army, and the war with the Mongol army had just begun, and Cao Erxiong was already imagining.

"What are you thinking? Fight well! ”

Sure enough, Lu Yuanting glared at Cao Erxiong and reprimanded him angrily.

Xinhuizhou City, even if he can fight down, he won't do this. What the emperor wants is to open up the passage to Western Xia, and occupy the first line of Lintao Mansion and Lanzhou, what do you want to do in these broken places in Xinhuizhou?

Do you add a burden to yourself and suffer hardship?

"Your Majesty's military order, of course I understand! But seeing that these guys are still occupying our place, I feel awkward in my heart! ”

Cao Erxiong muttered.

"Don't worry! See how many days they can occupy? ”

The Mongolian iron cavalry is not afraid, and against these golden soldiers, is it not easy to capture?

The cannon sound was fierce, the shells rained down into the Mongolian army's camp, the shotguns broke through the air, endlessly, and the Mongolian troops raised their shields one after another, hiding in hiding places and behind the breastwork, to avoid the surging artillery fire of the Song army.

"I'll you......"

Lu Yuanting saw it really and scolded angrily.

With these Han troops in the Mongol army, the fortifications were also well done, effectively resisting part of the artillery fire of the Song army.

"Boom! All those stable tents were lifted for me! ”

Lu Yuanting roared angrily.

In the large array of the Song army, Ma Zhong, who commanded the foot soldiers, was stunned and frightened.

The artillery fire was so ferocious, the Mongolian army was heavily wounded, completely suppressed, and there were few opportunities to counterattack.

In the first battle of Langao Town, he didn't bring a gun truck to fight, isn't that looking for death?

How could you be so stubborn, so stupid?

In the Mongolian army camp, the Mongolian generals had fierce arguments, some of the generals left directly, and others were helpless.

It seems that the Mongolian army has different opinions on the mode of operation, and they broke up unhappily.

"General, look!"

The soldier beside him pointed ahead, Ma Zhong raised the clairvoyant mirror, only to see countless Mongolian cavalry riding out, and in a blink of an eye, they crossed the tattered camp wall, and the thousands of cavalry rushed forward, smoke and dust flying, and went straight to the Song army's main array.

The horses are crowded, the iron horses are galloping, boundless, and dazzling. The Mongol cavalry rushed like a tide, and the sight of the Song soldiers was full of chaotic horses.

Under the cover of artillery fire, the infantry could dodge, but the war horses became live targets, and the Mongolian cavalry did not want to sit still, so they chose to charge fearlessly.

When did the Mongolian iron cavalry dominate the world, when did they encounter such a humiliation of blindly avoiding and waiting to die?

"Well done! Small cannon loaded with shotguns! General cannon loaded with solid balls! ”

Ma Zhong watched, Lu Yuanting's shouts were heartbreaking, and the gunners of the Song army were busy but not chaotic, and they quickly loaded their ammunition, and the muzzle of the cannon was faint, aiming at the front.

"Grenadier! Crossbowmen! ”

Ma Zhong cleaned up his mood and also loudly passed the military order.

The grenadiers held the earth-shattering thunder, and everyone was ready for battle; The crossbowmen stepped on their crossbows and mounted their arrows, looking ahead; The sword and shield bearers in front of the pikemen raised their shields one after another, and the heavy infantry sat on the ground, and the spears were pointed at the front like a jungle of steel.

"Brother, you have to hold on!"

Feeling the pressure brought by the Mongolian iron horse, Ma Zhong subconsciously trembled.

"General Ma, don't worry, just leave it to me!"

Lu Yuanting laughed, arrogant and arrogant.

As Lu Yuanting spoke, the tide of Mongolian cavalry crossed the trench and swept in, and for a while the sound of iron hooves sounded, and the ground trembled, like a raging storm.

"500 steps!"

"400 steps!"

"300 steps!"

"Fire!"

"Fire!"

All kinds of shouts continued, the thunderous loud sound was earth-shattering, the smoke of gunpowder rose billowing up, and the Song army's artillery position was filled with smoke, which was magnificent.

The iron pellets were overwhelming, weaving into a stream of bullets in the air, splitting their heads and covering their faces, and heading straight for the Mongolian cavalry coming in the opposite direction.

Ma Zhong pressed the throbbing in his heart and looked at Lu Yuanting, who commanded the artillery to fire the cannons, silently.

Lu Fangweng's descendants are really not a bad breed.

Ma Zhong sighed in his heart, looked around, and shouted.

"Everyone, get ready for battle!"

Between the Great Song Dynasty and the Great Mongolia, the first frontal field battle kicked off on the bank of the Yellow River.

"Spread out!"

The Mongol cavalry has been on the battlefield for a long time, and they are all brave and good at fighting. The artillery of the Song army was fierce, and they stretched the distance between each other to avoid the artillery fire of the Song army, expecting close contact and a rain of arrows to kill.

Thousands of cavalry, the formation was several miles long, and they were almost parallel to the Song army's large array. The heavy artillery in the Song army's large array also began to adjust its angle and aimed at the Mongolian cavalry, ready to shoot.

The Song Army's artillery artillery carriage uses a monorail gun mount, and the gun tail adopts a screw rod to lift, and it is very convenient for the gun carriage to move and adjust the angle of the artillery. They instantly completed the adjustment of the artillery position, and the target was directly aimed at the Mongolian cavalry.

"Puffy Puff!"

The artillery fire was continuous, the sound of violent explosions was continuous, and the Mongolian cavalry that advanced forward was covered by thick artillery fire, and countless people turned on their backs. Many of them were planted under their horses, lying in pools of blood, screaming terrily. Before many people could stand up, the galloping horses were trampled into pulp.

The distance between the Mongolian cavalry was widened, and they struggled to control the horses that straddled down, and the men lay on their backs and mustered up courage to move forward.

The artillery fire continued, and the Mongol cavalry fell countless times, but there were still countless horsemen who forgot to die and fought forward.

"Crossbowmen! Grenadier! ”

Ma Zhong was secretly frightened by the bravery of the Mongolian iron horseman, and shouted loudly.

What would have happened to the Song army if they had been subjected to such heavy artillery fire?

The Song gunners continued to reload their ammunition and continue to kill and wound the Mongol cavalry. The Song saber and shield men caught up one after another, raised their shields, and covered the gunners.

At the same time, the grenadiers and crossbowmen of the Song army were ready and everyone was eager to try.

"Shoot!"

A hundred paces apart, the Song crossbowmen and the Mongolian cavalry fired separately. Crossbow bolts soared into the air, and the sky was dark. In the middle of the formation, each fell one piece.

The distance between the two sides is close, the small artillery of the Song army has been fired, and the artillery offensive is more ferocious, especially the alphabet cannon, one cannon can cover a horizontal space of about 60 meters, hundreds of cannons are fired together, and the galloping Mongolian cavalry, the cavalry formation is instantly sparse by half.

The explosion of "Tongtong" was endless, and the earth-shattering thunder rained into the Mongolian cavalry array, and bursts of smoke and dust flew up, and the feather arrows shot at the Song army's large array were unconsciously much less.

With the sound of artillery one after another, the Mongolian cavalry fell one by one, and the flesh and blood flew between the heavens and the earth, like a hail of blood and flesh, and many Mongolian cavalry were beaten and disintegrated, and the stumps and broken limbs flew in the air, which was terrifying.

The sparse Mongolian cavalry rushed out of the rain of artillery rockets and crashed into the spear jungle of the Song army's heavy infantry, several Song soldiers were knocked away, the Mongolian war horses neighed and fell to the ground, and the Mongolian cavalry on the horse was stabbed by the Song army's pikemen and was covered in blood, and none of them survived.

"Steady!"

Lu Yuanting looked ahead, threw away his shield, and instructed the gunners to continue to reload their ammunition.

He didn't believe that the Song army's fierce artillery fire could not deal with a few thousand Mongolian cavalry.

"General, Tatar cavalry...... Escaped! ”

A cannon pointed at the battlefield ahead and shouted.

Lu Yuanting fixed his eyes, and sure enough, in the smoke and dust, the Mongolian cavalry turned their horses' heads and retreated back.

It seems that the Mongolian cavalry could not stand such tragic casualties and chose to withdraw their troops.

"Want to escape? How can it be so easy! ”

Lu Yuanting gave an order, and the large and small artillery opened fire together, and the Mongolian cavalry fell off their horses countless times on the way to withdraw their troops.

The Mongol cavalry fled eastward in a hurry, and the Mongol infantry in the camp followed. The Song artillery continued to bombard, the Song cavalry followed, crossbow arrows were fired, knives and spears were stabbed, grenadiers and pikemen caught up one after another, and a sea of indulgence in killing.

Countless Mongolian soldiers fled from the city of Xinhuizhou in embarrassment, from beginning to end, until the Song army pursued and killed, and the golden soldiers on the city wall were silent, not firing a single arrow.

Finally, two hours later, a big battle ended, in front of the Mongolian army camp, countless Song army infantry raised swords and guns, cheering like thunder, and the mountains roared with a tsunami.

"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

Amid the cheers of the soldiers, Lu Wende hit his horse into the camp, he glanced at the mountains of grain baggage, and the groups of war horses, and secretly relieved himself.

To the south of him, Wang Jian led an army of 20,000 to attack the Mongolian army camp in Dingxi, and Wang Jian still had 5,000 cavalry under his command, and there was no shortage of war horses.

"Brothers, see, even in the field, the Tatar army is not invincible!"

Lu Wende hit the high slope, located on a high place, and shouted loudly.

"Wan Sheng! Wansheng! Wansheng! ”

The soldiers of the Song army in the camp cheered in unison, and everyone was excited.

They are proud to defeat the legendary invincible Mongol Iron Horseman.

"The enemy army in Xinhuizhou has been repulsed, and our army will be stationed in the Xishou Baotai Military Division in Rouwolf Mountain to ensure the military stronghold on the front line of the Yellow River."

Lu Wende looked at Lu Yuanting and the others with a firm gaze.

"Lu Yuanting, Cao Erxiong, these captured war horses are enough to carry heavy artillery. Do you know what's next? ”

"General, you mean, crossing the Yellow River?"

Lu Yuanting and Cao Erxiong were both stunned, and then they both suddenly brightened.

"Yes, Your Majesty's will is to occupy Yingli, an important town in Jiuqu of the Yellow River, and communicate with Lingzhou City as soon as possible. I will give you two 5,000 elite soldiers, and you will bring all the cavalry, and 2,000 horses, will you be able to do it? ”

134 Song army soldiers, according to the original Xia army fortress guarding Rouwolf Mountain, even if tens of thousands of Mongolian troops came to attack, he didn't care.

Hearing Lu Wende's words, Lu Yuanting and Cao Erxiong both blushed.

"General, remove the word "what" and wait for the good news! ”

"General, we will definitely live up to our mission!"

Lu Yuanting and the others generously received the order, and Cao Erxiong was even more excited.

His younger brother Cao Shixiong was in Western Xia and occupied Yingli, an important town in Western Xia, and his brother would return as soon as possible.

The night is sultry, the sky is dotted with stars, on the city wall of Xinhuizhou, the Song army camp outside the city is also brightly lit and heavily guarded. The Xinhui Prefecture guard Guo Shrimp Toad saw it in his eyes, frowned, and remained silent.

"General, these Song soldiers, are you leaving?"

The adjutant general on the side whispered.

Song Jun's grain and grass were reloaded into a truck, and they were boiling horse meat, and it seemed that they were going to leave at dawn.

"These Song soldiers, but...... What a difference! ”

The governor of Xinhui Prefecture stroked his beard and was full of emotion.

During the day, they all watched the battle between Song and Mongolia outside the city, but they always closed the city gate and watched from the wall.

The strength of the Song army greatly surprised the soldiers of the Jin army.

"The Violent Tartars are thriving, and the Qiang Song is rising again. My gold is stormy, and the future is uncertain! ”

Guo Shrimp Toad looked at the deep night sky and muttered a sentence in his mouth.
