After the war meal was over, the Song army began to pull out the camp one after another, a group of vanguard troops crossed the bridge first, and laid out a defense line in the open area west of the river, and then the Song army began to drive mules and horses to pull a large number of heavy vehicles to start crossing the river, the ferry was full of people, and people shouted that the horses neighed and seemed to be very lively.

Shi Bu rode on horseback, led the soldiers to stand at the edge of the forest, covering their figures with grass and trees, silently watching the actions of the Song army in the direction of the ferry in the distance, the soldiers behind him all softly comforted their war horses, not letting the war horses make a sound or neigh, the whole forest seemed very quiet, only the sunlight sprinkled down through the trees would be projected on the soldiers and guns from time to time, occasionally flashing, but outside the forest, no one could see these cold lights.

Deputy marshal, the Song army has begun to cross the river, should we kill it? A general of the Mongol army stood behind Shi Bu and reminded Shi Bu.

Shi Bu's face was very calm, without the slightest nervous look, and even narrowed his eyes, shook his head slightly and said: Don't worry! The Song army has just begun to cross the river, since they are here, let's kill more, let them see the strength of our Mongolian army, and they will come to fight with us for the land of Jingdong!

We have suffered a lot of losses in Enzhou City, so let these Song soldiers compensate us! Pass the order down, let the soldiers steady, don't worry, listen to my orders and then kill out!

Shi Bu's soldiers admired him very much, and after listening to his orders, they knew that Shi Bu wanted to be greedy, so Yuguan passed his order to the back, and there was still a dead silence in the woods, and even the birds and insects seemed to feel their murderous aura and stopped chirping.

Liu Dayong was very nervous, they had crossed the river for a while, and many people had crossed the river at this time, but the expected Mongolian army had not yet launched a surprise attack, the more so, the more nervous he felt, if he continued to cross the river, then once the Mongolian army launched a surprise attack, they would not have enough time to return to the east bank, so he turned his head and looked at several pontoon bridges, the carts that crossed the river first were basically all about to cross the river, if the Mongolian army did not act again, Gao Huaiyuan had to continue to send troops across the river, so even if this plan succeeded, they would probably suffer great losses.

Like Liu Dayong, Gao Huaiyuan immediately crossed his sword, standing on the east bank of the river, also paying attention to the movements in the west of the river, and even the yellow horse he sat on seemed to feel his uneasiness, snorting from time to time, scraping the ground with the horse's hooves, and raising patches of sand.

Handsome! Did the Tartars see through our plans? Not planning to attack at this time? If that's the case, then we'll all have to cross the river! I'm afraid this plan won't be realized! Li Ruohu asked Gao Huaiyuan in a low voice.

Gao Huaiyuan's face was very calm, as the commander of the first army, he had to be calmer than anyone else, if he showed a anxious look, then the others would be more nervous, and today's Mongolian reaction was obviously a little surprising to him, the reason why he crossed the river first was to attract the Mongolian army to launch a surprise attack as soon as possible, but until now, the Mongolian army still did not take any action, there are only two possibilities, one is that the Tartars have seen through his plan, and the other is that the Mongols are very greedy, You want to get them past more soldiers and horses, and then launch an attack to achieve greater results!

But now that the arrow is on the bow, it is already necessary to send it, if the Mongols really see through his strategy, then he will have to change his plan on the spot, and lure the enemy deep into the force to cross the imperial river.

Don't be in a hurry, just wait! We believe that the Mongolian Tartars should not find out about our arrangement last night, and they are also waiting! I want to wait for more of us to pass before we launch a raid! Send the order down, order the crossbow to prepare to cross the river, and once the Mongol army launches a surprise attack, order them to defend the palace and let the Hexi army return to the east of the river! Gao Huaiyuan replied with a calm face.

After receiving the order, the soldiers immediately reflexively ran down to give the order, and in a short time the two thousand crossbowmen of the Infantry Division of the guards lined up at the bridgehead east of the river, and were ready to cross the river with the carts that crossed the river.

Seeing that the carts of the Song army had all crossed the river and were assembled and ready to advance in the direction of Enzhou City, the Mongol army in the forest began to stir slightly.

Vice-marshal! The Song army was really careless, they actually let the baggage cross the river first, and only sent less than 5,000 people to escort it, this is a good opportunity! Our army has been out for so long, and the grain is already insufficient, if we take these burdens, then it will be enough for us to eat for a while! Do it! One of Shi Bu's subordinates, the commander, couldn't help but suggest to Shi Bu.

Shi Bu opened his eyes, looked at the movement of the Song army in the direction of the ferry, then closed his eyes, shook his head and said: Wait a minute, the Song army has less than thirty percent of the soldiers and horses crossing the river, let them come over half!

So the Mongol army behind the forest was quiet again, and countless pairs of eyes stared at the situation of the ferry through the trees.

Liu Dayong finally began to lose his breath, and now the crossbow Xiongwu has basically crossed the bridge, but the Mongolian army still has no intention of launching, it is not a way to go on like this, he has to find a way.

After a few brain teasers, Liu Dayong thought about it and immediately beckoned his subordinates: Order the scouts in front to search the forest in front to find out if there are any enemy troves there!

A plan like this, only the commanders in the army can know, for the lower generals, it is impossible to let them know, otherwise this scene will not be like the real thing, and for the generals, sometimes they have to be a little ruthless, knowing that the scout went to explore the woods, and the result was likely to be killed by the Mongols, but for the sake of the overall situation, he still had to sacrifice the lives of a few people.

The scout did not know about these things, and immediately searched in the direction of the woods after receiving the order, and this move immediately attracted the attention of the Mongols in the woods, and someone immediately reported to Shi Buyu: Lieutenant Marshal! The Song Army scouts have come, and it seems that they want to search this forest! Please, the lieutenant marshal!

Shi Bu was a little dissatisfied with this, the number of people and horses crossing the river of the Song army was far from what he wanted, but the Song army scouts came at this time, so their figures could not be hidden, so he nodded slightly, and some soldiers at the edge of the forest immediately raised their bows and aimed them at the outside of the forest.

When the Song army scouts approached the forest, they began to realize that there was something wrong with the atmosphere here, the people who could be scouts were very clever people, and they required combat experience, when their small team approached the forest, they smelled the heavy murderous aura emanating from the forest, and it seemed that there was also a sheep smell in the air, which made them suddenly uneasy.

The team at the head of the team raised their hands to stop the advance of the soldiers behind them, and stared intently into the woods, when suddenly they heard a swishing sound from the forest, and then saw a few black rays flying out of the forest.

There is an ambush! Hurry back! The general was immediately exclaiming, but before he could finish his sentence, an arrow struck him in the throat, and the team shook a little, and fell under the horse.

A dozen scouts could not have been able to stop the rain of arrows, and most of them immediately fell under their horses, except for the last two who were not hit by the arrows, so they immediately turned their horses and fled for their lives in the direction of the ferry.

At this time, a trumpet sounded in the forest, and then from the forest and both sides of the forest, there was an earth-shattering shout, and the sand and dust on the ground began to tremble slightly, and the frequency of the vibration became higher and higher.

In just a breath, a group of black and oppressive Mongolian cavalry rushed out of the forest, and a large number of Mongolian cavalry also poured out on both sides of the forest, and these Mongolian cavalry pounced out like fierce beasts, collectively let out inhuman howls and shouts of killing, and pounced in the direction of the ferry.

Liu Dayong stood near the ferry, watching a large number of Mongolian troops rush out, knowing that it was his time to act, so he immediately ordered: There is an ambush here! Quickly form a battle to defend against the enemy! Gather the line! Fast!

Most of the Song troops who crossed the river did not know the specific situation, and suddenly saw so many Mongolian cavalry suddenly pouring out not too far away, and they were suddenly a little panicked, although they fought with Li Quanjun again and again some time ago, and achieved good results, but such a scene of thousands of horses galloping, they really saw it for the first time, seeing the Mongolian iron cavalry roaring, the officers in the army immediately ordered to shrink the defense line and began to line up to resist the enemy.

Originally, after the Song army crossed the river, they did not stay away from the ferry, when the Mongol army appeared, they immediately began to shrink, and there were many vehicles crossing the river, and the officer in charge of the vehicle had obviously been instructed in advance, and immediately ordered his subordinates to drive the carts to form a formation to deal with a large number of enemy cavalry, these carts were very good cover, so the soldiers who drove the carts did not dare to slack off, and shouted at the cattle of their respective vehicles, driving them to drag the carts, and concentrate together.

Seeing that the Mongol army was coming very fiercely, and the number of Song troops crossing the river was really limited, although they quickly formed a defensive line at the crossing, but after all, the matter was hasty, they were not prepared to resist the red deer and other things, and only relied on the shield of the axe hand and the spear of the spearman, forming a thin line of defense.

Liu Dayong saw that the Mongolian army was coming very fast, and his palms couldn't help but sweat, although today he acted as an army to lure the enemy, but Gao Huaiyuan had an order to give him, so that he only needed to attract the Mongolian army to pursue them across the river, and not lose too many generals, this scale is not very easy to grasp, if he is not careful, he is likely to be lost with the thousands of soldiers under his command in Hexi, if this is the case, then this battle has already lost a game before fighting, so at the moment Liu Dayong is very nervous in his heart.
