The sun slowly climbed to the middle of the sky, and under the more than a dozen rounds of artillery strikes of the Song army, the party soldiers did not take advantage of the time to stop the artillery, and then went up to the city wall. Almost all the defenses on the city wall, such as watchtowers, iron pots for boiling oil, and all kinds of things, were destroyed.

Looking at the sky, Han Qi said, "It's time." The party members did not go up to the city wall, it has been more than an hour, and it is time to let the infantry go to the city! ”

Zhao Zi said: "What the Taiwei said is true. I'll let the infantry prepare, and the artillery will fire another round of artillery, and then the siege will begin! ”

After speaking, he summoned the herald and ordered the soldiers to come and order the various departments.

Sitting on the chair, Mustang Siwen stopped when he heard the sound of artillery outside, and said to the soldiers beside him: "Go up to the city wall to see if the Song army has come to attack the city." Straight thief, we don't have artillery in the city, how can we fight this battle? ”

The soldiers got up lazily and climbed up the city wall along the road. The city walls were already pitted, scattered with cannonballs from the Song army. When he arrived at the city wall, he stretched out his neck and looked out, and saw that the Song infantry outside the city had already arrived under the city wall. After being stunned for a moment and rubbing his eyes, the soldiers suddenly came to their senses and said in a loud voice: "Oh no, the Song army is attacking the city!" ”

Mustang Siwen stood up abruptly and said in a loud voice: "Everyone go up to the city wall to prevent the Song army from attacking!" ”

In the middle of the shelling, many people in the party army have died. It is not safe to hide under the city, a little farther away from the city wall, and there may be Song artillery shells crossing the city wall. There was an unlucky ghost in front of him who didn't know at first, and he was stoned to death there. By this time, everyone was tired. Mustang Siwen shouted heartbreakingly, but the soldiers over there were not in a hurry.

While Weile Kama was still asleep, a personal soldier walked in quickly and said in a loud voice: "Captain, the Song army on the opposite side is in formation!" The generals have already arrived at the tent and are waiting for the captain's orders! ”

Weilekama was woken up, and he couldn't figure out what was going on for a while, so he said sharply to his own soldiers: "It's not dawn yet, what are you arguing about!" ”

After saying that, he remembered what his own soldiers meant, shook his head sharply, and asked, "What did you just say?" ”

The soldiers said: "The Song army has lined up on the opposite side, and the generals have already arrived at the commander's tent!" ”

Velkama sat up jerkily and hurried to get dressed. It's not right together, and he said to his own soldiers: "The Song army is in the valley, how can they line up?" ”

The soldier said: "Captain Hui, the Song army is arrayed on the mountain. I haven't seen the little one before, and I need to see it in person. ”

When he arrived at the front tent, he saw that all the generals in the army were there, and looked at him anxiously. Sitting down behind the desk, Velkama hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" So urgent! Before dawn, they gathered in the tent of the commander, could it be that the Song army came to attack? ”

did not move the cliff fork: "Captain, the Song army was arrayed before dawn, and now the formation has been arranged." The generals hurried over, but unfortunately the captain had not yet gotten up and did not know how to deal with the Song army. ”

Wei Lekama frowned when he heard this: "The Song army came from the valley, how did they line up?" Although the mountains are gentle, they cannot be formed in large formations. ”

Babu Ali said: "The Song army is arrayed on the mountain. Captain, you better go out and take a look in person, quickly mobilize the army, and prepare for battle. The Song army has finished its formation, and it is estimated that the sun will rise, and it will be time to attack. ”

Weile Kama took the generals, went out of the tent, and went to the front of the whole army to see the formation of the Song army.

At this time, the sun has not risen, and the east has just revealed a touch of fish belly white, and the opposite side looks a little blurry. When he looked at it, he saw the Song army lined up in a large formation on the opposite hillside. The sun has not risen, and it is impossible to see clearly, only the dense crowd of people can be seen.

This is true on both sides of the intersection, and the middle intersection is a cavalry, and you can't see the end at a glance.

Seeing this scene, Wei Lekama exclaimed: "The Song army set up the army formation on two mountains, how to command? When attacking, the mountain road is uneven, where can you ensure that the lineup is neat? Liu Ji is a general, how could he do such a thing! ”

The one on the side did not move up the cliff and said: "Tai Lieutenant, don't worry about these things first, how can we set up a formation?" The Song army has artillery, which can fight hundreds of paces away, and it is close, so eat his cannons! If it is too far away, the Song army will snatch the valley mouth, and it will be even more difficult! ”

Weile Kama said: "If you don't hold the mountain pass and let the Song army come in and line up, won't you lose your geographical advantage?" The Song army has artillery, can it still be transported to the mountains? Command all the armies, quickly line up, and prepare to fight to the death with the Song army! ”

On the one hand, the generals promised to gather their own soldiers and horses. The party barracks were arranged in formation, but it did not take a lot of effort.

On the opposite mountain, Liu Ji looked at the party and military village under the mountain, and his face sank like water. According to the news from the detectives, most of the nearby party members have fled, and most of the rest are in this valley. Win this battle until there is no more big battle to be fought in the Yellow River.

Seeing the party members lined up, Liu Ji said to his own soldiers: "Go and order the artillery, according to the deployment, listen to the military order to disrupt the party people's military formation!" ”

The party members are still in the habit of fighting with cold weapons, with dense formations and elite soldiers concentrated next to the commander in the middle. For the Song army, with artillery as a long-range firearm, the first time was to strike at the elite soldiers in the middle. Break up the middle formation, and the routs will rush to both sides, and the opponent's army formation will be scattered.

Looking up at the sky, the sun suddenly jumped out, sprinkling the glow of the sky, and the sky and the earth suddenly lit up.

Liu Ji took a deep breath and said sharply: "The whole army fires!" ”

As the order flag waved, the artillerymen fired at the party and army formations at the set up gun positions, and for a time the mountain was filled with gunsmoke.

The flowering bomb exploded in the party army, and for a while the ghost cried wolf. Weilekama was startled, and saw that several people not far in front of him were directly hit by the flowering shell, or killed or wounded. The injured person struggled on the ground, and he couldn't help but be startled, and he couldn't speak for a while.

didn't move up the cliff and said sharply: "How can this battle be fought!" Tai Lieutenant, you must order the whole army to retreat, otherwise you will be lost by the artillery of the Song army! ”

In fact, the artillery of the Song army is not so powerful, and the damage area is not large. However, the dense formation of the party and the army is equivalent to bombarding the crowd standing well, and the effect is quite considerable. After a round of artillery firing, the party and military formations were already in chaos.

Seeing that the Chinese army was beginning to show signs of collapse, Wei Lekma said helplessly: "And retreat five miles back and reorganize the army formation!" ”

He didn't move up the cliff and glanced at each other, and each of them agreed to the promise and galloped towards his own army. Their subordinates, mainly their own tribes, will mourn here? Before the battle, there was a fluke mentality and stopped the Song army here. As a result, as soon as the battle began, he was passively beaten here, and which fool was still here to listen to the command of Le Kama?

After two rounds of artillery, seeing that the party on the opposite side was already in chaos, Liu Ji ordered the herald to let all the cavalry in the middle advance and directly attack the party army. This army was originally barely put together, how could it be possible to block the attack of the Song army.

Weilekama retreated with the Chinese army, and after not going far, he realized that something was wrong. The two wings of the cliff and Babu buried did not pay attention to the order at all, and even let the Chinese army cover in the rear, and they went directly with the army. As soon as these two armies left, there were only a few Chinese troops left, not to mention the Song army that was coming, and even the households behind could not protect it.

These clans have already transferred their clansmen out of Tiandu Mountain, where do they still have the heart to fight?

Liu Ji saw it on the mountain and couldn't help shaking his head. This is the normal state of operation, without guns and artillery, the party army will not be able to engage in field battles with the Song army at all. The 300,000 troops of the Song army moved slowly in the valley, not because the enemy army was strong, but completely caused by the chaos of their own military system.
