The sun was rising in the east, and the sky was full of sunshine, Yang Wenguang stood on the watchtower, looking at the party army that was arrayed opposite.

Unlike the Song army, which was divided into several independent positions, the party army was relatively loose. In the middle is the pro-soldier guards who are loyal to the White Horse Prison Division, and the main force of the attack. The two wings are the tribal soldiers gathered in points, all cavalry, with a general formation.

At this moment, a pro-soldier walked up quickly and handed Yang Wenguang Du Zhongxiao's military order.

After looking at it, Yang Wenguang put it away. I had already reconnoitred last night, and Bao Zhong was still in front of the main soldiers, and the auxiliary soldiers in the rear were looking at the baggage. The economic structure of the party's regular soldiers and auxiliary troops can only be arranged in this way. However, having learned the lessons of the previous days, the two barracks are very close to each other.

I raised the binoculars again and saw clearly that the party army had been assembled.

With a sound of the horn, the whole party army moved forward slowly, and slowly pressed over. The black oppressive military formation has a momentum that crushes everything.

Wang Liang quickly walked up to the watchtower and crossed his hand to Yang Wenguang: "General, the party army has attacked, what are your orders for the artillery?" ”

Yang Wenguang said: "Do what you were told yesterday." I'll raise the red flag here, and you will fire the cannon according to the plan. The green flag was raised, and the artillery fire stopped. Everything else is according to the regulations, and if there are other commands, I will send someone to tell you. ”

Wang Liang said yes and hurriedly went down the watchtower. The artillery has its own command system, and Yang Wenguang cannot command in real time.

The speed of the party's march was not fast, and the formation was relatively scattered, obviously drawing on the experience of being bombarded by Dou Shunqing's heavy artillery. Until it was a mile away from Yang Wenguang's army, the whole army stopped again. After stopping, the Chinese army regrouped, and the formation became dense.

There are more than 20,000 regular troops, and they can't see people's faces clearly from a mile away, but they can only see the boundlessness of black oppression.

At this time, time is too slow, and it is a kind of torment for the people on the battlefield. In the center of the Song army's formation, Jing Dutou said in a loud voice: "Armor!" ”

The three hundred ironclad soldiers listened to the order, each took up the iron armor on the ground, and dressed neatly. He took up the sword from the ground and put it in his hand.

Holding the horse in his hand, Jing Dutou only felt that the blood was surging, his mouth and tongue were dry, and he couldn't help licking his lips, and his eyes were shining with red light.

There were only three hundred iron armor, and the whole army did not use long axes, but replaced them with heavy swords. The axe should march like a wall, using the power of its whole body to crush all enemies in its path. Three hundred people couldn't do it, the formation was relatively sparse, and they were replaced with a chopping knife that was conducive to killing.

Looking at the Song army a mile away, the formation was sparse, and the three rows were about one army formation, and each row was about thirty people. Regardless of offense or defense, the military formation pays attention to denseness, trying to minimize the front of the battle, and it is the first time that the Song army on the opposite side has seen this kind of formation to protect loyalty. Why is the Song army so arranged? Bao Zhong couldn't figure it out, and he didn't have time to figure it out.

Looking at the red sun on the horizon, Bao Zhong turned his head and said in a deep voice: "It's not good!" ”

Didn't go fine and came from behind Baozhong, and said with a forked hand: "The end will be!" ”

"Take your headquarters soldiers and horses, rush to the Song Army, where the highest watchtower with the Shuai Banner is!"

didn't make a good promise, turned the horse away, and went to gather his own troops and horses. Except for a small number of commanders' own soldiers, even if they are standing armies, most of them are based on tribes. It's just that the number of standing armies is relatively uniform, with several small tribes grouped together and large tribes divided into several tribes.

Bao Zhong didn't see that he was fine, and walked away, and said loudly: "Torture Changzu!" ”

Torture Changzu to answer the order, and said to Bao Zhong: "Take your own soldiers and horses, and after not being fine, rush to the Song army!" When you charge, the Song army will inevitably fire artillery, no matter how many people die, you are not allowed to take a step back! Whoever reviewes, slash! In front of the Song army, the two armies were united into an army, and they were only allowed to move forward, not backward! ”

Torture Changzu to answer the order, turn the horse back to his headquarters, issue military orders, and reorganize the troops.

As another horn sounded, Yang Wenguang raised the telescope in his hand to see that the party army had assembled and was ready to rush. After a while, the formation is completed, and the progress begins. It looked like about two thousand people, in a rough cone, coming towards the Song army.

The 2,000 men who came were all cavalry, and they could be seen clearly through the binoculars, all of them were heavily armoured, and all of them were equipped. These cavalry, presumably the power of the White Horse Supervisor Division, are similar to the ironclad cavalry in the Song army, and are specially used to charge into battle.

Seeing that the attacking party army formation was completely separated from the army, Yang Wenguang turned around and said to the soldiers on the side: "Command the artillery, open the artillery!" ”

The soldiers promised and raised the small red flag in their hands and waved it at the watchtower where Wang Liang was in the distance. The battalion field army has a simple military order flag, and the pennant is for the exclusive use of artillery to carry out the necessary command.

Wang Liang saw it, said a cannon shot, and watched the soldiers waving the flag.

In view of the possible forms of attack of the party, the Song army made several plans. Now it's just a matter of what kind of plan to implement and make some fine-tuning.

Each gun emplacement has its own observation tower, which is a short distance away. Get the gun emplacements of the military order, and start loading. As Wang Liang's personal soldiers slammed the small flag downward, each gun position lit a twisted line together.

Hearing the earth-shattering sound and seeing the smoke rising from the Song army's position, Bao Baozhong chuckled in his heart. He was deeply impressed by the heavy artillery of the Song army that night, and when he heard this sound, he instinctively trembled.

The solid cannonball smashed into the attacking party formation, and with a knight fell to the ground, rolled a few times, and broke several horses' legs. Hearing the knight's screams, he felt a little panicked. Don't be afraid of frontal killing, this kind of shell falling from the sky doesn't know who it falls on, and it is inevitable to be nervous when you encounter it for the first time. The great array continued, and the knights who fell to the ground were soon trampled into pulp, silently.

A round of artillery passed, and the party cavalry was obviously scattered. It's just that the formation is not chaotic, and it continues to rush towards the Song army.

The gun position was to adjust the firing range urgently according to the predetermined plan. The Dangxiang army advanced, and the shells fired by the Song army also moved with the Dangxiang army. The farthest hit is adjusted to the nearest first, and the rest continue to fire, and after each round, there are different gun positions to adjust.

Wang Liang turned around and motioned for his own soldiers to give an order, and let the artillery fire a round of flowering shells. Solid bullets are conducive to direct fire, whether it is a dense military formation or a city wall fortification, it can receive good results. Flowering shells are suitable for curved shooting, and for people and horses, they have the effect of solid bullets before they explode, and they can also bring a second kill if they are exploded. This was the first time that the Song army faced a large-scale frontal charge of the enemy, and it was inexperienced, so it was necessary to try more.

Without moving, Sui Liang was leading his troops forward, when he suddenly heard the cannon sound of the Song army ring out again. Cannonballs fell from the sky, and as just now, they took the lives of more than 100 cavalrymen. Just as he was ordering the whole army to move forward, the cannonballs that fell to the ground suddenly exploded, and countless pieces of iron and iron balls flew out of it. Some of the cavalry were hit, and they let out a terrible howl on their horses.

The iron ball is not large, and as long as it is shot on a person, it will not hurt people's lives. But as long as it is hit, it will basically lose its combat effectiveness.

The man returned the favor, and the flowering bomb exploded on the ground, and the most iron pieces and iron beads shot at the horse. The harness can't even resist heavy arrows, how can it block these iron pieces and iron balls comparable to bullets? Not to mention, the most shot part is the horse's belly, which is not covered.

All of a sudden, the neighing of the horses kept ringing out. Some horses fell, some were injured and jumped desperately, and some horses that were not shot were frightened and ran around, no longer under the control of the knight. The military horses of this era did not receive special training, and they could not be alarmed in the artillery fire, and when they encountered a flowering shell exploding in the vicinity, many horses were frightened, and the party army formation was completely chaotic.

Wang Liang saw it on the watchtower, ordered his own soldiers, and ordered all gun positions to be replaced with bullets. There are not many flowering bombs in the army, and Wang Liang can't care about it, so let's finish today's battle first.

In front of the military formation, he couldn't help but be furious when he saw that the attack formation was chaotic. Just as he was about to torture Changzu to lead the team forward, he slashed all the people who dared to run backwards in front of the battle, and suddenly came to his senses. He said loudly: "Mingjin withdraws the troops, let the whole army retreat!" ”

The sound of the cymbals was crisp and poignant, and before Suiliang heard it, he let out a sigh of relief, hurriedly reined in the whole team, and ordered the whole army to retreat.

At this time, more than half of the road had just been advanced, and there were still more than 400 steps away from the Song army. In the Song army's array, the mortar cannon had just been loaded, and before he could prepare to fire the cannon, he saw the party army retreating like a fly in the artillery fire. There were also hundreds of frightened horses, running between the two armies like flies without a head. Some rushed straight towards the Song army, and were shot to the ground by muskets dozens of paces away.

When he returned to the military formation, he did not make a cursory click, and after going back and forth for nearly a mile, he lost more than 500 soldiers and horses, and he had palpitations.

Stabilize his mind, and he didn't go so far as to fork his hands in front of Bao Bao: "Tai Lieutenant, the last general is about to lead the troops straight to the Song army, why did he collect the troops?" ”

Bao Zhong said: "It's because I didn't think it through, forgetting that the sound of the Song army's artillery exploding was terrifying, and the horses were frightened, and they couldn't maintain the military formation." Engage the Song army on the opposite side, and cavalry cannot be used. Your whole army dismounts, re-arrays, and charges the Song army again! ”

didn't listen to it, and scolded in his heart. His own department is an elite who is loyal to him, and he fights a tough battle, but he is not going to die. Just now I ran away in vain, and I broke many horses in vain, and many people were shocked, and this guy was inconsiderate and let himself die again.

The whole army is heavily armoured, and there are no horses on foot, what kind of speed is that? One mile away from the Song army, how many rounds of artillery will you have to suffer along the way? In the face of the enemy, there are only three arrows, and the infantry attacks the opponent's army formation, and it is already a strong army that can maintain its combat strength after three rounds of arrow rain. One mile ahead, he led his troops over and had to suffer more than three rounds of artillery, isn't this just forcing people to die?

Yan Luozhong's face was expressionless, staring at the lack of detail. It wasn't until he didn't chant the promise that he nodded heavily.

This is his own right-hand man, with the most elite soldiers, and there is no way to protect his loyalty, so he can only be ruthless and let them rush towards the Song army like suicide. Changing to other soldiers and other soldiers, he was not sure that he would be able to rush through this mile and still maintain his formation under the constant artillery fire of the Song army. Without the finest of the best of the Liang Army, they could only be the helmets of the whole army, escorting the rear departments to rush into the Song army array.
