However, at this time, Song Jun dared to take the initiative to attack, and he must have a considerable degree of certainty to do so, and it would never be a momentary hot-headedness. At least the Song army is fighting against the city this time, and there is no need to think that he will detour back to the back of the Song army to outflank him, which must seem that the arrow-breaking army does not play much on the ground, and can only rely on the frontal impact of Tiefutu, and the Jin army may not be able to win easily. Moreover, once defeated, the Song army can also retreat to the city and refuse to defend, so that it can be attacked and defended, which can be said to have taken the initiative.

It's just that once the Song army closed the city and didn't fight, the Jin army had no choice. And as soon as the time dragged on, the grain and grass could not be helped, and the Jin army could only retreat. Therefore, after Yan Changzhi thought about it again and again, he felt that it was better to fight a battle with the Song army, and if he won, he would take advantage of the situation to seize Longxing Mansion, and if he did not win, he would immediately return to the army. And precisely because the Song army has a way out, it may not fight desperately with the Jin army, so the Jin army still has a considerable chance of winning. Anyway, the purpose of this time the troops was not really to capture Longxing Mansion, but to attack instead of defending, so that the Song army could not free up their hands to counterattack Lin'an, and test the reality of the Song army. Moreover, Wanyan Changzhi also found out that the Song army guarding this line was Yang Yan's army in the south.

"Then let's take a look, without Yang Yan, how much combat power does the Song army still have?" Thinking of this, Wan Yan Changzhi immediately ordered: The whole army will go to battle.

The two sides lined up in front of the city of Longxingfu, and the number of the Song army was about 18,000 to 20,000, with the city in formation, and Cao Xun and Gao Zhen stood on a bucket truck and commanded together.

Zhao Qianru led Gu Xueping, Zhao Chen, Yue Ying, Yue Ke, Lai Wenzheng, Dong Yuan and others to stand on the tower of Longxing Mansion and watch it in person, there were five hundred archers and five hundred crossbowmen with divine arms standing on the city wall. In addition, there are 120 cowhide drums. Among them, the crossbowmen all pulled their crossbows apart and waited on the city wall.

Today, Zhao Qianru did not wear armor, but she was dressed in a gorgeous palace dress, and arranged the princess's full set of honor guards on the city wall, Zhao Chen stood beside her, also wearing a gold crown on her head, and a yellow royal dress, to indicate that the princess and the king of Xin were on the city wall to supervise the battle for the Song army.

Wanyan Changzhi stood on a high car, looked at the row of dazzling honor guards on the city wall of Longxing Mansion from a distance, and nodded. To Pu Cha Dingzhu and Shi Dingyue, he said: "Start attacking." ”

Due to the division of troops to garrison Shegan and Jinxian counties, at this time, there were only more than 23,000 Jin troops left under the city of Longxingfu, but the number of cavalry reached 11,000, accounting for almost half of the Jin army. Among them were 2,000 Tiefutu, 3,000 Arrowbreakers, and 6,000 light cavalry. Since the Song army was fighting on its back, the previous tactics of relying on the detour of the arrow-breaking army to outflank were obviously useless, so the victory or defeat of this battle was largely due to the strong impact of Tiefutu.

Therefore, as soon as the battle began, Wanyan Changzhi directly dispatched 1,000 Tiefutu and 2,000 light cavalry to form the first wave of attacks, and directly attacked the Song army from the middle road.

A thousand black-armored Tiefutu cavalry lined up in a huge arrow, rushing at the forefront, on each side were 1,500 lightly armed cavalry, 4,000 war horses galloped towards the Song army, nearly 20,000 horses' hooves trampled on the ground, making a dull loud noise, the dust raised almost obscured the rising sun, the sharp spears pointed horizontally forward, in the morning sun, flashing with snowy light, even standing on the city wall, you can feel the trembling of the earth.

Zhao Qianru has been used to following Yang Yan in the past few years, and has also participated in the Northern Expedition and fought with the Jin army, but on the city wall, such as Lai Wenzheng, Dong Yuan and others are the first time to see the impact of the Jin army's armored cavalry, and they suddenly felt a strong shock in their hearts. Not to mention Zhao Chen, Yue Ying, and Yue Ke, young people who are on the battlefield for the first time, they can't help but feel a little frightened.

At this time, Cao Xun and Gao Zhen stood on the bucket and watched the Jin army gradually approach the Song army. Suddenly, he waved his hand and said loudly: "Release the arrow." ”

Thousands of arrows flew out from the Song army's array, like flying locusts, and shot towards the Jin army with a roar. At the same time, the god hip archer on the city wall also pulled the trigger, shot the arrow, and then hurriedly pulled the crossbow again. However, the Jin army had also prepared for the bows and arrows of the Song army, and raised their shields one after another, lying on the back of their horses, hiding the bows and arrows.

Despite this, hundreds of Jin soldiers were shot by arrows, and they fell off their horses with screams, and their horses fell with a wail, but then they were trampled by the iron horses rolling from behind. However, the speed of the Jin army's advance did not slow down in the slightest. At this time, Yijing was only fifty paces away from the Song army.

First of all, use the speed of the cavalry and the iron armor of Tiefutu to close the distance with the Song army as soon as possible, so that the Song army's bows and arrows cannot play an advantage, which is also a common tactic used by the Jin army and the Song army in head-to-head battles. Wanyan Changzhi was obviously very satisfied with this result, and immediately ordered Wuyan Tuochi and Gao Linfu to lead the 1,500 cavalry and 3,000 infantry on the left flank, Daduchen and Shulu to lead the 1,500 cavalry and 3,000 infantry on the right flank, and Wulintai and Shi Xiaolie to lead the remaining 1,000 cavalry and 3,000 infantry to rush forward together.

At the same time, Cao Xun also issued an order, and the Song army also attacked with the whole army, and in the middle was the Ma Jun Si Zhong Army led by Zhang Shiyan and the 1,000 Jujia cavalry army transferred from the Xuanfeng Army, led by Wei Jiao, and the 500 Beiwei Army led by Ling Xiang. On the left was the cavalry army left by the Xuanfeng Army, and on the right side was the right army of the Infantry Division, which also killed the Jin army together.

The situation of the entire battlefield was clearly seen by Wan Yan Changzhi, who commanded on the high car, but what puzzled Wan Yan Changzhi was that the formation of the Song army's middle charge was not the conventional way of cavalry in front and infantry in the rear. Instead, the cavalry army and infantry army were mixed together, and it seemed to be a little chaotic at the rough, but on a closer look, Wan Yan Chang found that the Song army was actually gradually dispersed into a small group composed of more than 20 cavalry soldiers with fifty or sixty infantry to meet the Jin army.

Guo Shrimp Toad, who was beside Wanyan Changzhi, could also see it clearly, frowned, and said to himself: "What kind of tactic is Song Jun?" How do you mix the infantry and cavalry, so that the cavalry can rush? ”

Wan Yan Chang's heart moved, and he suddenly said: "I understand, Song Jun is using the 'Star Scattering Array'." ”

Guo Shrimp Toad was stunned for a moment, but also understood. The "Star Scattering Array" is said to have been created by Li Jing, a famous general of the Tang Dynasty, who dispersed the brigade into a small group, arranged like stars, and when the enemy rushed in, the soldiers scattered but did not gather, so that the enemy could pounce in the air. When the enemy retreated, the scattered soldiers gathered again and pounced on the enemy. /
