On Yanjing City, the billowing wolf smoke rose and soared into the sky, and in the Song army's large array, the generals were stunned.

"Rush into battle, what kind of wolf smoke in broad daylight?"

Some generals looked at the Yanjing city wall and were confused.

"Light the wolf smoke, naturally summon your companions to come."

Tian Yi frowned, he raised the clairvoyant mirror and looked around.

The Mongolian cavalry coming from both flanks was already tens of thousands of horsemen, and if there were still a large number of Mongolian cavalry to help, this battle would not be easy to fight.

"The front is the Yanjing city wall, and there must be no reinforcements. It seems that it can only be in the south direction. ”

Meng Hui picked up the clairvoyant mirror, turned his head and looked in the direction of the south, and sure enough, the smoke and dust were billowing out, and there seemed to be a lot of soldiers and horses attacking.

"At least thousands of rides. It's menacing, this is to catch our army off guard, it's really a good calculation! ”

Meng Heng shook his head and snorted coldly in his nose.

Since we all want to get a piece of the pie, let's let the artillery fire come more intensely.

"General Meng, you are in charge of the Chinese army, and the rear will be handed over to me."

Tian Yi beat his horse down the high slope and went backwards.

On both flanks were artillery cover, and the cavalry charged. There is only a rear formation, and the firecrackers may be able to use the pomp, which is naturally the best choice.

"Instructor Tian, take care!"

Meng Hui looked at Tian Yi's back and shouted loudly.

The chief instructor of firearms in the Jinling Lecture and Martial Arts Hall, the head of the Jiangnan Weapons Manufacturing Division, is unfazed and methodical, and seems to be a general who has been delayed by government affairs.

Outside the south gate, the Song army was in a large array, looking at the Mongolian iron cavalry surging like a tide, some Song soldiers turned pale and breathed rapidly.

Among these people, the recruits account for about half of them, and they have never been on the battlefield, so they are inevitably nervous.

A childish-faced Song soldier seemed to be unable to stand the pressure brought by the galloping Mongolian iron horse, and with a "dang long" sound, the long knife in his hand fell to the ground.

The officer's face was ugly, he turned his head, strode over, looked coldly at the Song saber shield hand who had dropped the knife, and raised his hand is a whip.

"A few thousand cavalry are scared like this, and you lose your face! If you can't stand it, go to the back, and retire directly after the battle! When you meet someone, don't say that you are a border army of Jinghu, Lao Tzu can't afford to lose that person! ”

"Report, General, I can stand it!"

Song Bing's face was red, and he quickly picked up the long knife, muttering in his heart, where is this thousands of horses, this is obviously tens of thousands of horses.

Thinking so in his heart, he didn't dare to say it, just raised his head and chest, and clenched the long knife. ‘

"You, what are you trembling about? You, hold the gun firm! ”

The officer's eyes were fierce, and he shouted at the soldiers, and roared

"What are you afraid of, the Tatar cavalry is also a human, if you hit it with a cannon or cut it with a knife, you will die the same! It's all stabilized for Lao Tzu! If anyone embarrasses Lao Tzu again, military law will serve! ”

The officers walked into the queue one after another, and one by one they relieved the pressure, and the Song army quickly settled down in a large formation.

Li Tang nodded lightly. Officers are the courage of soldiers, and with these officers from the martial arts hall in charge, the morale of the army is naturally stable.

The Song army was in a large array, and Meng Heng's heart was pounding, but his face was silent.

The big battle came too fast, he was still planning to attack the city, maybe there would be street fighting, but he didn't expect tens of thousands of cavalry to rush into battle, which was a little unexpected.

Fortunately, the Song army's large array is complete, everything is in order, there seems to be no omissions, and no one needs to worry. Moreover, the left and right flanks are Cao Youwan and Lu Wende, two battlefield generals, and 40,000 elite cavalry of the northwest border army, so there will be no difference.

Seeing Zhou Ping on the side frowning, his eyes staring at Yanjing City in a daze, thinking that he was worried about the war, Meng Heng persuaded softly:

"Master Zhou, don't worry, you have your own soldiers to block the enemy. The last general will take care of your safety. ”

"General Meng, I am not worried about the war, and I don't need you to worry about it. I'm thinking about it, will Your Majesty move the capital, and is Yanjing City suitable to be the new capital of my Great Song Dynasty? ”

Zhou Ping shook his head and replied quietly.

Meng Hui couldn't help but be stunned and shook his head secretly.

Like Tian Yi, this uncle of the dynasty is also a madman who is arrogant and arrogant.

Hebei system envoy, the battle has not yet been fought, first send the main officials, isn't the emperor even more crazy?

"Big brother, let's run away together in a while. In the chaos of the army, don't run away! ”

On a high ground in the camp of the Chinese army, Shi Quan wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, he looked around, and whispered in Shi Ji's ear.

Looking at the overwhelming impact frenzy of the Mongolian iron cavalry, the Song army will definitely be defeated. He also had to find a way out for the two brothers.

"Second brother, Song Jun is as steady as a rock, he won't be useless, right?"

Shi Ji's lips trembled, looking left and right, he looked at the Mongolian army riding the sea on the east and west sides, and his face turned pale.

"Big brother, there are still our cavalry on the left flank of the Song army, and the Song army must not be able to bear it. Don't get lost later! ”

Shi Quan solemnly admonished, and Shi Ji nodded in agreement. The two brothers stretched their necks and swept their gaze to the large array on the left flank of the Song army.

Yan Shi, who was not far from the two, was also pale, he looked at the surging Mongolian army for a while, and looked at the immovable Song army formation for a while, and the anxiety between his eyebrows was obvious.

The artillery formation on the right flank of the Song army, the artillery of the Song army quickly turned the artillery carriage and aimed at the east, and a new artillery position was formed in an instant.

This is actually related to the Song army's use of a single-track gun mount, which is easy to turn and tow. In addition, the artillery of the Song army was all field artillery, and there was no heavy artillery of more than 1,000 catties, so it did not take long to build an artillery position.

Rifled guns, short-barreled guns, three kinds of general guns, and five kinds of artillery were lined up one after another, a full five hundred, and the barrels of the guns were faintly shining with cold light, which made people's hearts hairy.

Cao Youwan came over with a horse, and his face couldn't contain the anxiety.

"Instructor Li, why don't you fire yet?"

The Mongolian cavalry is getting closer and closer, the rifled cannon can hit more than five miles, and the general artillery can also hit three miles, the Mongolian cavalry has entered the firing range, and if the cannon is not fired at this time, when will it wait?

"Go back! Bring your cavalry! ”

Li Tang's face was black, and Cao Youwan turned the horse's head stupidly, and beat the horse back in frustration.

Don't look at him as the chief general of the First Army, admired by all the troops, in front of Li Tang, the black-faced instructor of the Jinling Martial Arts Hall, he didn't dare to speak up, and he had no dignity at all.

"After so many years of fighting, he is still such an anxious son!"

Li Tang turned his head, raised the clairvoyant mirror to look, and asked loudly.

"How far is it?"

"General Hui, I've already entered three miles!"

The lookout hand reported loudly, his face flushed, and he was a little panting. The Mongolian iron cavalry on the opposite side made his little heart beat wildly.

"Blushing what? Steady! ”

Li Tang glanced at his hand, and his face darkened.

"Pass the order! Everyone, get ready! ”

The order flag waved, and on the artillery position on the right flank of the Song army, the shouts of the artillery officers came and went, and the artillerymen immediately got busy.

"Nine-pound cannons, seven-catty cannons, five-catty cannons, fire in turn. Rifled cannons, flowering shells to keep up! ”

"It's all steady! It's like a normal drill! Don't panic, what's the matter, there are also 20,000 cavalry brothers in front! ”

"Don't panic! Five or six rounds of artillery go down, and the Tatar cavalry will be about the same! ”

The artillery officers commanded and dispatched the artillery positions and checked and filled in the gaps, and there was no need for Li Tang, the artillery commander, to bother at all.

Li Tang secretly let out a sullen breath, and he was also secretly relieved. A large number of artillery officers pressed the formation, the artillery firing was busy but not chaotic, and as long as the 500 artillery pieces kept firing normally, it was worth looking forward to how ferocious the effect would be.

Especially the flowering bomb, he really wanted to see the damage brought by this kind of big killing weapon.

In the city and under the city, the Song and Mongolian hostile sides were watching, the Mongolian cavalry on the east and west wings had entered a distance of two miles, their horse speed suddenly accelerated, more than 100,000 iron hooves hit the ground, on the city wall, on the field outside the city, it seemed that the whole foot was trembling, making people's hearts beat faster unconsciously.

The Mongolian iron cavalry came like a tide, and there was still calm in the Song army's large array.

On the city wall, the face of the mouth was not warm, and he couldn't help but become solemn.

With such a large-scale cavalry attack and such a distance, he felt depressed, but the Song army outside the city stood still, showing no signs of panic, and no one fled from the battle.

Just like the turning of the Song army's artillery position just now, it was almost completed in a moment. The action is so skillful that it is terrifying.

The Song army was well-trained and disciplined, and it was really extraordinary, and it was indeed a great trouble for Mongolia.

The excitement on Zhang Hongyan's face disappeared, his expression began to become solemn, and he stared at the outside of the city together with Yelu Gu, who was also anxious.

Seeing that the Mongolian cavalry generals in the east had entered a range of about one and a half miles, and many Mongolian knights had already drawn their bows and arrows, ready to attack, Li Tang couldn't help but have his heart beating faster, his face flushed, and he roared loudly.

"Fire!"

On the right flank of the Song army's large array, the red flag in the hands of the Song army's flag officers fell heavily, the officers' roars continued, the earth-shattering artillery sound suddenly sounded, and the thick smoke rose from a large group, filling the artillery positions of the Song army's left and right wings.

The mouth of the people watching the battle on the south city wall was not warm, the scalp was numb, and the pupils contracted sharply.

The artillery of the Song army hit fast and fiercely, so indiscriminately bombarded, and when the cavalry on both sides charged into battle, the Mongolian cavalry had not to be killed or wounded, and there was no chance of victory?

Shi Tian'an and Yelu Gu, all of them had gloomy faces and didn't say a word, Zhang Hongyan grabbed his hand on the battlement wall, his joints protruded, and his body trembled slightly.

Chen Shike's face on the side was as pale as dirt, and he "plopped" and sat down on the city wall.

Yelu Chucai's heart was like a lightning strike, and he almost couldn't breathe, and his heart was frightened, his legs and feet were weak, and he almost fell.

"Yelu Xianggong!"

The officials and sergeants next to him were quick and quickly helped Yelu Chucai.

"I'm fine......"

Yelu Chucai stood up straight, Chen Shike was also helped up, and the mouth Wen Buhua next to him glanced at them coldly, retracted his gaze, and looked out of the city.

Although he pretended to be calm, his nervousness could be seen from his tight skin and the muscles on his face twitching from time to time.

Yelu Chucai was a little embarrassed, and looked out of the city with Kou Wen Buhua and the others.

In the large array of the Song army, thick smoke erupted one after another, muffled thunder continued, and the sky was full of black spots of different sizes, covering the sky, and the Mongolian cavalry rushed to the left and right flanks.

First, 100 solid iron balls rose into the air, filled the sky, and shot five miles away, screaming all the way, falling into the middle and rear of the Mongolian cavalry formation, and some shells hit too far and were about to break out of the formation. The iron balls flew and jumped, the Mongolian cavalrymen turned over on their backs, the flesh and blood flew in the riding array, the sound of infiltrating fractures continued, the stumps were thrown countless times, and the terrible screams and the sorrowful screams of the war horses came and went. The iron ball hit the ground and bounced forward, smashing the tendons and bones of people and horses, and screaming in grief. One by one, the Mongol cavalry was thrown into the dusty cavalry, and was soon annihilated by the galloping horses.

Another burst of artillery sounded, 100 flowering shells tore the air, emitting a sharp strange roar, huge shells fell in front of the Mongolian cavalry formation, exploded one after another, for a time the smoke column rolled, within a radius of dozens of steps of the explosion, the Mongolian cavalry fell over one by one, the stumps and broken flesh flew all over the sky, the air was full of blood mist, pieces of bloody rain and bloody wind.

Every time a flowering shell exploded, thousands of iron pellets raged, plus dozens of pieces of broken iron produced by the explosion of the shells, the Mongolian cavalry was knocked to the ground in a circle, tripping over dozens of war horses. The Mongolian cavalry who were thrown out by the war horses were trampled by the constantly rushing war horses and became puddles of mud.

Just one round of flowering shells caused nearly 1,000 casualties among the Mongol cavalry.

Then, the nine-catty cannons, seven-catty cannons, and five-catty cannons fired one after another, and the iron balls rained down, and the whole sky was like a huge wave hitting the cliffs, moving forward one by one, and returning one by one in vain, and the men and horses kept falling to the ground, going forward and one after another, endlessly, and were planted in the smoke and dust.

The horses screamed, the cavalry screamed, the blood mist soared, the flesh and blood flew sideways, and the field was filled with the choking smell of gunpowder smoke and the pungent smell of blood.

"Change the shotgun!"

Seeing that some Mongolian cavalry broke into the firing range of Yili, Li Tang shouted loudly, and one by one the shotgun packs and medicine bags were stuffed in, and the gunners pressed the iron drills on the fire door one after another.

"Puffy Puff!"

The earth-shattering sound of artillery rang out, and streams of gunpowder smoke rose into the air, and the Song army's artillery array was completely surrounded by smoke, which was spectacular. Countless shotguns screamed, tearing through the air, densely, splitting heads and covering faces, like a raging storm, heading straight for the Mongolian cavalry approaching the Song army's cavalry formation.

Shotguns flew, iron pellets flew all over the sky, the galloping war horses suddenly overturned, countless Mongolian cavalry blood arrows soared, pieces of people turned on their horses, countless Mongolian cavalry were thrown to the ground, they didn't have time to get up, they were trampled by the iron hooves running from behind, and in an instant it was a burst of blood and flesh flying tragedy.

In the Song army's artillery array, the gunners just loaded the medicine bags, stuffed the shells, and kept firing the cannons, fast and fast.

The sound of artillery continued, the cannonballs flew all over the sky, endlessly, the Mongolian cavalry shot bloody arrows, the blood mist was filled, countless horsemen fell in the dust and mist, the pungent smell of gunsmoke, and the strong smell of blood was everywhere. The Mongol cavalry was not afraid of casualties, but they could not break through the distance of three or four hundred paces in front of the Song army's cavalry.

In the cavalry formation of the Song army, Cao Youwan and others witnessed this bloody artillery massacre, and their faces changed.

Firearms have changed the way warfare is conducted, and cold weapons, including cavalry hedges, have been ruthlessly discarded by the times.

On the wall of Yanjing City, the mouth was warm and sweaty, and unconsciously, his forehead was covered with cold sweat.

This 10,000-horse impact is so tragic, is it possible to turn defeat into victory?
