On the eastern boundary of the Hanzhong Plain, the Yangzhou defense line of the Song army, the Mongol army pressed on the whole line, and the light and heavy cavalry rolled forward, permeating the north and south, and there was no end in sight. Compared with the piecemeal attacks of the previous attacks, the number of Mongolian troops attacking the formation has increased dramatically, and the offensive is more ferocious. Looking at the direction of their cavalry impact, it was the Song army's central army and left wing cavalry formation.

In the mountains to the south, on the right flank of the Song army, a Mongol team of 10,000 people got off their horses, they held shields and horned bows, covering the entire slope of the mountain, not afraid of artillery fire, shouting wildly, and rushing towards the right flank position of the Song army on the mountain ridge.

In the large array of the Song army, on the artillery position, the artillery commander Gao Guoshou looked at the dense Mongolian ironclad cavalry forward, from the middle wing to the bank of the Han River, and the ground was full of black water. The Mongol cavalry was crowded with horses, ten thousand hooves galloping, heavy cavalry in front, light cavalry in the rear, and the field was full of shaking horse heads and round helmets.

Gao Guoshou's scalp was numb, and his heart was pounding.

Ten thousand horses galloping, the Mongolian army, this is going to be desperate.

"All artillery, aimed at the Tatar cavalry, the ammunition is out, and they can't be allowed to break into the big formation!"

The impact of the Mongol heavy cavalry was not trivial. Once they broke through the formation, they would cause more than one cut of damage than the Mongol light cavalry.

"Grenadier ready! Smash all the earth-shattering thunder in your hand! ”

Cao Shixiong sweated on his forehead and shouted loudly.

"Swordsmen and shieldmen, hooked scythes, crossbowmen! Everyone, get ready! ”

Wang Jian's facial muscles twitched slightly, and he unconsciously clenched his fists.

Tens of thousands of iron horses, and countless unmanned horses galloped together, iron hooves galloping, and the ground trembled violently, like a storm and waves,

In the great array of the Song army, all the soldiers changed color.

The Mongolian army of more than 20,000 cavalry and more than 3,000 foot soldiers advanced together, overwhelming the mountains and seas, and the Song army's battle line seemed to be in danger.

In the large array of the Song army, large and small artillery opened fire together, iron balls and iron pellets erupted, weaving a continuous iron stream in the air, wantonly harvesting lives. The Mongolian army in front of the battle was emptied one by one, and the pile of corpses of people and horses on the ground rose sharply, but soon countless iron horsemen poured into their eyes again, the war horses galloped, the smoke and dust flew, the blades were dense, the cold light was shining, and the iron helmets full of domes were shaking, and they kept moving forward, dazzling the Song army.

"Puffy Puff!"

Large strands of smoke erupted, the fire flashed, the smoke wall rolled up, the bullet stream rampage, the Mongolian cavalry rushing in front fell off their horses in unison, the Mongolian cavalry shouted horses, the front was beaten unevenly, countless knights screamed in the dust, countless horses were overturned, countless knights were thrown under the horses, knocked off and crushed into pulp.

More than 20,000 cavalry rushed into formation, and the cavalry group was so dense that the artillery did not need to aim at all, but only loaded ammunition and fired mechanically at the front. Some guns fired too often and began to blow up their chambers, injuring the gunner. Some of the sub-cannons were not tightly breathed due to hasty loading, which scalded the gunners. On the artillery positions of the Song army, casualties also began to gradually increase.

The sound of artillery was fierce, and in front of the Song army's large array, within a range of hundreds of steps, there were piles of corpses of people and horses, layer upon layer, and the death was different. Between the broken arms and legs, there were lying wounded soldiers and horses of the Mongolian army, they squirmed and screamed in a pool of blood, some of the wounded horses were covered in blood, helpless and screaming, and the screams of people and horses in the sky came and went, making people's scalps numb.

Countless war horses broke through the barrage, and they drilled out of the dust one after another, arrows rained down, and began to shoot arrows at the front of the Song army. At the same time, in the Song army's formation, crossbow arrows rose into the air and went straight to the Mongolian cavalry formation. Both sides have fallen over one piece, and countless people have fallen to the ground.

The grenadiers of the Song army ran out of the big formation one after another, and the smoke and thunder flew all over the sky, raindrops flew into the Mongolian army's cavalry formation, and pieces of iron flew wantonly, shooting and injuring countless people and horses. At the same time, some grenadiers were shot over, thundered to the ground, some were kicked out by the Song army, and some exploded, killing and injuring several Song grenadiers.

The grenadiers of the Song army were not afraid of casualties, and they went out in five waves in a row, smashing out five rounds of earth-shaking thunder, killing and wounding countless Mongolian cavalry, while they themselves were also suffering heavy casualties, and their corpses and wounded were all over the ground.

Both sides were red-eyed, without any flinching or hesitation. One side wants to break the formation, the other side has to defend the formation, wave after wave of dead and wounded, wave after wave of death battles.

The cavalry of the Mongolian army rushed forward wildly, through the dust and fog, the Song pikemen and sword and shield hands came out of the formation, there were as many as two or three thousand people, their pikemen hooked the legs of the horses, and the sword and shield hands saw the smashing of the people and horses, although they were knocked and cut countless times, they still fought desperately.

"Get down!"

Two Song soldiers hooked the hooves of a Mongolian heavy cavalry, the war horse was in pain, the hooves were soft, and he fell to the ground violently, and the heavy cavalry on the horse fell with the horse, and half of his legs were pressed under the horse. The Song saber and shield men caught up, and an iron rod smashed the heavy cavalryman's round helmet and collapsed, vomiting blood.

Hundreds of heavy cavalry of the Mongolian army rampage, knocked over and slashed countless Song soldiers out of the formation, the outer heavy cavalry was hooked off their horses, the inner cavalry array crashed into the dense gun array of the Song army, countless Song army heavy infantry was knocked away by the war horses, countless war horses were stabbed all over the bloody holes, blood was dripping, people turned over on their backs. The Song saber and shield pikemen were fearless, and sacrificed their lives to stab and slash, killing the Mongolian heavy cavalry that fell to the ground.

Although the heavy cavalry of the Mongolian army was heavily armoured, because the armor was too heavy, once they fell off their horses, it was difficult to get up and was surrounded and annihilated by the nimble Song soldiers. Especially those Song sabers and shield hands, iron rods, heavy knives and giant axes, once they are smashed, they either break their muscles and bones, or their brains burst, which is extremely tragic.

The Mongolian army's war horses continue to move forward, constantly being hooked overturned, the horse's hooves are constantly cut and broken, the Mongolian heavy cavalry falls into the dust countless times, the Song army soldiers are constantly stabbed and smashed by the Mongolian heavy cavalry, both sides are dead and wounded, in just half an hour, in front of the Song army's large army, a mountain of human and horse corpses has been piled up, and the corpse mountain is a sea of blood, which is magnificent.

"Fire!"

Gao Guoshou's eyes were blood-red, he roared angrily, the shotguns sprayed thin, and flew out like raindrops, and the cavalry formation of the Mongolian heavy cavalry suddenly thinned out a lot, and the Mongolian heavy cavalry who rushed forward were mixed with the Song soldiers' spearmen and shields, sacrificing their lives and fighting hard.

The heavy cavalry of the Mongolian army suffered heavy losses, and the offensive was frustrated, and the light cavalry of the Mongolian army in the rear rushed forward, quickly filling the gap behind the heavy cavalry.

The artillery roared, the earth-shattering thunder bombarded indiscriminately, the arrows took off, covering the sky and the sun, the pungent smell of gunpowder smoke and blood filled the battlefield, and the Mongolian light cavalry was also killed and wounded, but they were still fearless and went straight to the Song army's main array.

"Steady!"

Seeing that countless light cavalry of the Mongolian army broke through the rain of bullets, and they were fierce and vicious, and they were about to meet the Song army's large array of short soldiers, Cao Shixiong's face was solemn and he shouted loudly.

The head of the gun was pointed obliquely, like a steel jungle, and the heavy infantry of the Song army clenched the barrel of the gun in their hands, ready to carry the impact of the Mongolian cavalry. Among them, there are constantly people who are shot down, and there are people who keep filling up, keeping the front row of formations intact.

On the high ground, Torre looked at the tragic scene of ten thousand horsemen charging into battle, his face did not change, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

With such ferocious firearms, such indiscriminate bombardment, and such never-ending, the warriors of the Mongolian army turned on their backs and lost nearly thirty percent before they approached the Song army's main array.

He secretly regretted that he had despised Song Jun and made a huge mistake. He should not have used refueling tactics to avoid casualties among the Mongol army, but instead caused more casualties.

In the past few days, the warriors have repeatedly rushed into the battle formation of the Song army, and it is clear that the Song army has suffered heavy casualties, but these guys have fought against the cavalry with infantry, fearlessly, without fear of death and injury, as if they had taken medicine.

No wonder the Song army dared to fight in the field with the Mongolian iron cavalry, even if there were no firearms, these guys who regarded death as if they were at home were not easy to deal with, not to mention that there were a lot of firearms cavalry.

In this big battle, even if they can escape, the Mongolian army will be greatly damaged, and within a few years, I am afraid that they will not be able to go south.

Eyes swept to the west, smoke and dust billowed out, the reinforcements of the Song army were probably coming.

"Order the right army to attack the left flank of the Song army with all your might!"

Torre no longer hesitated, and urged his horse down the high slope, followed by several Mongolian troops of 1,000 men.

Arrows on both sides galloped, covering the sky, people kept falling, people kept turning on their backs, and there were countless casualties in the formations on both sides, all of which were red-eyed.

As Torre personally commanded the troops to suppress the formation, the pressure on the left flank of the Song army increased sharply, and the number of Mongolian knights who came into contact with the Song army's battle formation increased dramatically, and countless Mongolian army war horses collided with the heavy infantry guns in the front of the Song army.

The earth-shattering thunder flew all over the sky, flying into the rear of the Mongolian cavalry formation that had not yet entered, and at the same time, the Song army's crossbowmen fired a volley, and the Mongolian troops who broke into the Song army's large array fell off their horses one after another and were ruthlessly assassinated by the Song army. However, the left flank of the Song army was torn open by the Mongolian cavalry.

"Is this mad Tatar?"

In the large array of the Chinese army, Wang Jian looked at the scene of the Mongolian army's 10,000 horsemen galloping, not afraid of death and injury, the artillery fire was unstoppable, and the right flank position was precarious, and he couldn't help but be secretly frightened.

The Mongolian cavalry and the Song army frequently met each other, and the two sides were staggered, falling into a tug-of-war, and the Song army's defense line was already wavering and would be broken through by the Mongolian cavalry at any time.

"General, there is a Tatar army fleeing in the west, and the rear army of the Tatar army is heading west. It must be my Great Song reinforcements who have arrived! ”

The sound of artillery fire and killing shook the sky, and Cao Shixiong shouted loudly at the top of his throat.

Wang Jian nodded, but his heart was worried.

Hanzhong ambushed 70,000 soldiers, if Lizhou West Road and Lintao Road came to help at the same time, how could they get 80,000 or 90,000 troops. If it is a front and rear attack, how can the Yangzhou defense line be held.

Pity......

"Cao Youwan, where is he?"

Wang Jian's heart moved, and he asked loudly.

"General, look, our cavalry!"

Cao Shixiong shouted, pointing to the left flank of the Song army.

The arrows on the left flank of the Song army soared into the air, and countless Song cavalry rushed out of the left flank array along the Han River, plunged into the surging Mongolian cavalry formation, and cut off the Mongolian cavalry formation. The two sides collided fiercely, and countless people fell off the horse in an instant, and the two sides desperately slashed and killed, screaming and shouting and scolding were mixed, and flesh and blood were flying, and you were dead and alive.

The Song army was in a large formation, Wang Jian was dumbfounded, his eyes were moist, and he sighed secretly.

The Mongolian cavalry had broken the left flank array, and Cao Youwan led 5,000 Song army knights to choose a charge without hesitation to intercept most of the Mongolian cavalry on the right flank, so as to prevent more Mongolian cavalry from rushing into the left flank and leaving the formation to the east.

5,000 Song army knights, against more than 10,000 Mongolian iron cavalry, who knows how many people will survive?

"Artillery, aim for me at the rear of the Tatar army on the left flank, and fire at me!"

If you can reduce the pressure on the cavalry of the Song army, you can survive a few more people.

"Crossbowman, shoot me!"

Cao Shixiong shouted loudly, the Song army was in a large array, the crossbowmen turned to the left flank, and the crossbow arrows fired in a volley, and the Mongolian cavalry that broke into the left flank of the Song army were shot off their horses, and the cavalry formation immediately became sparse.

The large array on the left flank of the Song army was broken through, but several phalanxes in the large array were still intact, and they formed a formation, using crossbow arrows and earth-shaking thunder to fight against the intruding Mongolian cavalry. The Mongol cavalry went on a rampage, and the Song army suffered heavy casualties, but every time they went to a battle formation, they would be completely sniped by the Song army. Every time there is a gap between the arrays, they will be greeted by the Song army's earth-shattering thunder and crossbow arrows. The Song army erected shields, set up spear arrays, arrows were like flying locusts, earth-shaking thunder continued to explode, and the Mongolian cavalry was constantly killed and wounded.

The explosion of "Tongtong" was endless, the earth-shattering thunder exploded around the horses of the Mongolian knights, the iron pieces flew wantonly, the crossbow arrows continued, the Mongolian knights sacrificed their lives forward, and the number of horses became more and more out of scale, and they could no longer form a battle formation. The cavalry of the Mongolian army was constantly scarce, and they were frantically chased and intercepted by the soldiers of the Song army.

In the large array on the left flank, the Song army pursued and killed the increasingly scarce Mongolian cavalry, and the large array was in danger, and finally turned the danger into a disaster.

Wang Jian breathed a sigh of relief, cursed secretly, and looked towards the left flank array.

On the left flank, Cao Youwan led the cavalry of the Song army, and the sharp arrow formation penetrated into the cavalry formation of the right wing of the Mongolian army.

Thanks to the superb iron-smelting skills of the Great Song Dynasty, the smelted steel was tough and strong, and the cavalry of the Song army had excellent armor and horse harnesses.

What's more, the Mongolian cavalry and the Song cavalry fell into a bitter battle, and the Mongolian army commander Torre and others were isolated in the rear and unable to move forward.

The two sides fired arrows together, the Mongolian cavalry relied on the rain of arrows, and the Song army relied on the excellent armor and earth-shattering thunder to bombard indiscriminately, and the two sides fell into a stalemate, sacrificing their lives to kill. Every instant, cavalry fell from both sides, and shouts of killing and screams filled the battlefield on the left flank.

The Mongolian cavalry on the right flank was cut into two sections by the Song cavalry, and the Mongolian cavalry in the front saw that the Torre division was intercepted, and they returned to attack the Song cavalry. The cavalry of the Song army divided into a part and engaged the cavalry of the Mongolian army in the front, and the Song army in the large array of the Song army fired artillery and crossbow arrows in unison, and the two sides fell into a bitter battle, and people lost their lives every moment.

One side wants to penetrate the Yangzhou defense line of the Song army and escape, and the other side wants to cut off the other party and intercept the other party to the west of the defense line. Both sides are red-eyed, not afraid of casualties, and mechanically wave the weapons in their hands to destroy each other's flesh. The blood of men and horses on both sides flowed on the shore, soaking the surface of the feet. The blood flows to the lower places, bubbling into the Han River, the red ripples on the surface of the river, and it is difficult to take away all the flowing water from the east.
