"Attack."

Shi Mo Weiming's raised left hand waved down vigorously, and the halberd in his right hand pointed at the Song army in front of him. The shouts of the 5,000 soldiers also shook the sky, the 2,000 iron floats were in the center, the 3,000 light cavalry were divided into left and right, and the hooves of the 5,000 war horses rushing forward resounded loudly, as if shaking the earth's axis.

Although the two armies met on a narrow road, due to the presence of flying eagles to probe the enemy, the Song army had to discover the Jin army one step earlier. Therefore, they did not seize the upper hand, and they also had enough time to adjust their formation. The crossbow cavalry of the fire camp was in the center, the light cavalry of the wind camp and the forest camp were on the left and right, and the Yin battalion soldiers with one stone and five bucket bows were sandwiched in the middle, while the armored cavalry of the mountain camp was at the end. The whole army stood still, waiting for the Jin army to rush over.

The Song army has always relied on bows and crossbows in combat, so if possible, the Song army should seize the upper hand as much as possible against the enemy, so as to facilitate bow and arrow combat. However, today's wind was not strong, and it did not help the Song army's bows and arrows much. Because Shi Mo Mo Ming didn't care. And the thick armor of Tiefutu also has considerable resistance to bows and arrows. Shi Mo Weiming believed that with the advance of Tiefutu, the Song army would fall to the wind like grass and trees.

However, according to the common sense, the rapid impact is one of the greatest advantages of the cavalry, and no one has ever stopped the cavalry and used the bow and arrow to resist the enemy. The Song army's unexpectedly unexpected way of fighting made him feel a little uneasy in his heart. However, at this time, Shi Mo Weiming was not allowed to think too much, "Okay, let's see what tricks Song Jun will play." ”

The dust was flying, the earth was shaking, and the Song and Jin armies were still and moving. The distance between the two sides quickly narrowed to within 200 paces.

At this time, more than 200 infantry troops suddenly turned out from behind the cavalry in the Song army, each of whom raised a large strange-shaped crossbow. Strangely, the direction of the crossbow is not horizontal, and it is pointed diagonally in mid-air. This will undoubtedly make it easy to shoot arrows, but the strength of the arrows is much worse.

Shi Mo Mo Ming shouted, "Prepare the shield." In fact, there was no need for him to shout, the golden soldiers automatically raised their shields.

At this time, the distance between the two sides was close to one hundred and fifty paces.

"Put."

With Yang Yan's order, the crossbowman sent out not arrows, but more than a hundred black whirring things.

"What is this?" Shi Mowei, who was also charging in the queue, thought secretly that these things had fallen into the formation of the Jin army.

Suddenly, a series of loud roars rang out from the array of the Jin Army. Shi Mo didn't know it, only felt the eardrum was painful, and the heat wave hit his face. Suddenly there was a neighing sound from the horse that had stepped down, and the man stood up in a frenzy. Fortunately, he was also a skilled horseman, and he tried his best to control the war horse, and finally did not fall off the horse. But as far as the eye could see, many golden soldiers were thrown down by the war horses that were shocked by the huge roar.

Firearm. The Song army actually used firearms. When Shi Mo Weiming finally reacted, he smelled a pungent sour and spicy smell, and his chest was blocked, and he immediately coughed violently.

Although the Song Dynasty had always been more advanced in the research and use of gunpowder technology than Jin, the power of making firearms was also greater than that of Jin. However, firearms are generally used in siege battles or night raids on camps, and rarely in the field.

In fact, the lethality of this thunderbolt used by the Song army is far less than that of another firearm of the Song army, the thunderbolt, a thunderbolt cannot kill a few golden soldiers, but the huge roar made when it explodes has a great shocking power. Due to the special gunpowder mixture, a large amount of irritating poisonous gas is produced with the explosion is the most deadly. Although poison gas is not lethal, it can sting the eyes of men and horses, making it difficult to breathe, thus greatly weakening the enemy's combat effectiveness. The dense pot attack formation adopted by the Jin army is more conducive to the use of such firearms.

Yang Yan's purpose in seizing the upper hand was not to shoot farther with his crossbow, but to avoid exposing the Song army to poisonous gas, and also used wet cloths to block the noses and mouths of men and horses. Today, however, the wind is not very strong, so that the poisonous gas is still difficult to dissipate in the Jin army for a while.

Yang Yan knew that although Xuanfeng had been trained harshly for more than three months, the time was still too short, and it was okay to defeat the ordinary Jin Army cavalry, which was still slightly inferior to Tiefutu. If you fight hard with Tiefutu, although it is difficult to lose, it will inevitably suffer heavy losses, so the Thunder Battalion, which has not played in the previous battles, finally has a place to use this time. It's time to show off your skills.

Thunderbolts are fired with special crossbows and can be fired at a distance of one hundred and fifty paces, but they need to be pulled away with the help of their feet, so the soldiers of the Thunder Battalion must dismount to fire the thunderbolts. Yang Yan divided the two hundred Lei Battalion soldiers into two rounds and took turns to fire, after the two rounds of firing, 400 thunderbolts fell into the Jin army's formation, and the poisonous gas ruthlessly stimulated the eyes, nose and throat of the Jin soldiers, making them tearful, coughing violently, and completely losing their combat effectiveness. The horses were screaming from the starlings, and the knights were already mixed up in order to stabilize the horse's roar and the fierce coughing and horning. Some knights fell off their horses because they couldn't open their eyes, some were thrown down by the starling horses, and some of the horses that had become frantic roared desperately, jumped, and trampled on the knights who fell to the ground.

Shi Mo Weiming forcibly endured the pungent smell while shouting, "Don't mess around... Cough... Cough... Don't mess around, calm down... Cough... Cough... Calm down, cough... Cough... Ahem..."

But at this time, the Jin army had already been in chaos, and Ren Shi did not know that it would not work if he recruited him. Shi Mo Weiming couldn't help but regret it greatly, if he had known that the Benzene army would use firearms, he should have spread out the formation, so that the power of firearms and poison gas would be much smaller. It's a pity that it's too late now, and it was only a short moment from the time the Song army fired the thunderbolt, and the Jin army's losses reached more than 800 people.

At this time, many golden soldiers also rushed out of the poison gas, but they were greeted by the fierce arrow rain of the Song army. The golden soldiers, whose speed and fighting spirit had been greatly reduced, fell off their horses one after another and died under the bows and crossbows.

Xin Qiji immediately entered the formation, looking at the Jin army in front of him, which had not yet made contact, and became unable to form an army, and felt a sense of emotion in his heart. Who knew that the use of firearms in field warfare could be so powerful. No, it should be said that Yang Yan found a way to use firearms in the field. A few years ago, the Jing Navy made Li Bao use firearms for the first time in the Battle of Chenjiadao, and now Yang Yan has also made an envoy to use firearms in field battles, and the mode of war may really change.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

"Knock, knock, knock, knock" to the sound of war drums, the soldiers of both sides began to attack almost simultaneously.

The dust was flying, the earthquake was trembling, but the commanders of both sides had no intention of admiring the spectacular sight of tens of thousands of horses rushing together.

The difference is that the Jin army is cavalry in front, infantry army in the rear, galloping and charging. However, the Song army was in front of the infantry army and the cavalry army in the rear, advancing on foot. In terms of speed, it is much slower than the Jin army.

Su Shi Lie Zhining couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart, the routine of the battle was a formation in which the cavalry army was in front and the infantry army was in the rear. Although the cavalry of the Song army was far less than that of the Jin army, it was not enough to hedge against the infantry army and the cavalry. If it was a stacked formation, the Song army should have stopped and set up a formation. Especially the Song army in the front row, they were all in groups of three, and they didn't know what to take. It's just that it's too far away to see clearly.

"Could it be that Song Jun has some tricks?" Although Su Shi Lie Zhining thought so, he couldn't stop at this time.

The distance between the two sides quickly narrowed to within two hundred steps, and Li Xianzhong waved his hand: "Blow the trumpet." The sound of trumpets immediately sounded in the Song army's array.

The Song army, which was advancing on the left and right flanks, heard the sound of the horn and immediately stopped, and the most advancing Song army trio raised the tower shield in their hands. The tower shield was more than six feet high, three feet wide, long and wide and narrow at the bottom, with one end stuck in the ground, supported by a wooden pole behind it, and supported by two people. It is very effective against the charge of the Negative Cavalry. In an instant, the Song army on the left and right flanks lined up with hundreds of tower shields to form a long shield wall. It shows and is well-trained.

Then countless spears stretched out from between the tower shield and the tower shield, forming a forest of spears in front of the tower shield. Su Shi Lie Zhining knew that it was not good at first sight, but he didn't expect that the Song army would have this way to block the cavalry charge of the Jin army. The left and right flanks are light cavalry, so the loss of hitting the tower shield headlong will be great. But at this time, the Jin army's attack could not be stopped, so it could only grit its teeth and rush forward.

Just as the Song army was laying out the shield wall, the distance between the two sides was also shortened to about 100 paces, and they entered the range of bows and arrows.

In an instant, thousands of arrows flew between the Song and Jin armies like locusts.

The golden soldier who was hit by the arrow immediately fell from the war horse, and was immediately trampled into pulp by the war horse that rushed up from behind, and after the Song soldier who was shot fell, someone would immediately replace him and continue to resist the tower shield, without moving.

However, the distance of a hundred paces passed in a blink of an eye, and the cavalry of the Jin army bravely rushed to the tower shield, and the spears and sabers collided on the tower shield, some were dismantled, but some penetrated the tower shield. Some cavalry and horses collided with the tower shield, some cavalry were penetrated by the tower shield, but there were also cavalry who broke through the tower shield and entered the Song army's formation. The shield wall of the Song army was shattered in an instant, but the pace of the Jin army's cavalry charge was slowed down as a result.

The infantry cavalry of the Song army behind the shield wall immediately rushed up, and the two sides fell into a melee. In hand-to-hand combat, unless it is a heavy cavalry like Tiefutu, the light cavalry that has lost the space and speed to sprint has no advantage at all. The roars of men, the neighing of horses, and the clashing of weapons all resounded. The Jin soldiers who fell from their horses were immediately stabbed into a honeycomb by the Song army, and the Song soldiers who were swept down by the war horses were immediately trampled into flesh, swords and spears were cut into the flesh, blood gushed out, and the soldiers and horses killed in the battle fell into the blood. The living are still fighting to the death, creating more deaths.

Su Shi Lie Zhining frowned, this kind of battle situation was obviously not satisfactory to him. In his envision, the cavalry on the left and right flanks should be used to storm and loosen the left and right flanks of the Song army, so that the left and right armies of the Song army can support the middle without flawlessness, and then use the Tiefutu assault in the middle lane, using the chiseling tactic, and defeat the Song army's Chinese army in one fell swoop, so that he can win a complete victory. But the current situation is that the cavalry on the left and right flanks not only failed to impulse the Song army, but were beaten by the Song army and seemed to be a little unable to parry.

At this time, the Chinese army of the Song army had already overtaken, and although the speed was not fast, it still advanced towards the Chinese army of the Jin army.
