Chapter 5 Where is the Han Iron Horse Collection?

Rollo's second more is presented, rolling all over the ground, begging for collections, begging for recommendations

The sound of the golden drum shook the heavens and the earth, and it seemed that in the next moment, the entire ground would collapse. All the surrounding battlefields were shrouded in this earth-shattering shouting and killing.

When Shi Jiarui advanced less than thirty steps in front of the Song army's formation, the three rows of armor soldiers who were originally kneeling on the ground stood up with a roar at the sound of military orders.

"Sons! Forge ahead! A Song soldier was shouting hoarsely, waving the broadsword in his hand, driving a horizontal formation of shield soldiers and pikemen forward. If you stand on a high place and look down, you can find that on the battlefield, two moving walls composed of armored samurai quickly collided together! The spear of the Song army pierced the chest of the Shi soldier, and the big knife of the Shi soldier slashed at the head of the Song soldier......

Chen Dexing once again drew the bow of the rifle, although he was an officer, but there were no soldiers under his command, in this battle formation was just a special warrior - a bit similar to the sniper of later generations, with a considerable degree of freedom - this time, he aimed the arrow cluster at a giant man with a shield in one hand and a sword in the other, this man was enough to be one meter nine tall, and he screamed and crashed into the horizontal formation of the Song army's armor soldiers, causing a lot of chaos.

There was a soft sound of "taut", and the feather arrow flew away like a meteor catching the moon, burrowing into the cheek of the giant man, and the sharp arrow shot through the skull, drilling out from the back of the head, and bringing out some pink-colored brains. Before the giant could scream, he fell to the ground.

'It's already the fourth person...... Chen Dexing secretly said in his heart, this is the fourth person he has killed since he was reborn, and one of them is an unarmed old and weak! Killing four people in a row is already up to the standard of a murderer in later generations, but Chen Dexing's nerves are thick and there are no adverse reactions! I don't know if he had the potential to be a perverted murderer in his previous life, or if he inherited a hard-hearted heart after his soul penetrated his body!

"Stretch!" Another feather arrow shot out, this time the target was a young general of the Shi family who was fighting fiercely, and he was also killed by an arrow!

'Fifth Man ......' Chen Dexing squinted his eyes and scanned the battlefield, trying to find new prey, but heard the sound of "ding ding dong" metal knocking.

Is this Mingjin? Hearing the drums and marching out, the sound of gold and retreating, supplemented by the trumpet, the command, the banner and the lights, can dispatch an army in an orderly manner. In Chen Dexing's mind, there is a lot of knowledge about battle array scheduling. It's all taught by his cheap dad who is bent on taking the Wenjin Shi exam to glorify his ancestors......

Ming Jin retreated from the Shi family's sharp pawns, which was about a tenth and a half less than when they came violently! If they don't retreat, they will collapse -- the vast majority of armies in this era can bear about 20 percent of the casualties in a battle, and only the troops who are left to death can bear 30 percent or more casualties. Therefore, when commanding the battle, the general must not consume the troops under his command to the death, otherwise it will collapse on the battlefield, but the army will be defeated. Therefore, on top of the battle formation, the generals must grasp the rhythm of advance and retreat, and withdraw the troops with heavy losses in time. And covering the retreat of the foot soldiers or covering the defeated soldiers of the opponent is the work of the cavalry, and the Song army has irreparable shortcomings in this regard!

Because the Song army had no cavalry available, the retreat of the Shi Jiarui soldiers was quite easy, and the armor soldiers of the Song army only chased for a dozen steps, and then they sent someone to cut off the heads of the Shi soldiers who were lying on the battlefield, and retreated in formation amid cheers. It's not that they don't want to chase, it's that the heavy cavalry deployed by the Mongols on both flanks is ready to move! If the Song army can't recover in time to fight in formation, they only need to charge to break through the Song army's formation without the protection of spears and shields! As for the Song army armor soldiers who scattered on the battlefield to chase the enemy, they couldn't resist the rush of the Mongolian cavalry at all.

"Alas, if there are five hundred elite horsemen, these armor soldiers of the Shi family will collapse!" Monk Liu had just shot out seven feather arrows, and at this moment he was shaking his head and sighing with his somewhat swollen arms.

If the war is to continue like this, the Southern Song Dynasty will not be able to withstand it after all! Chen Dexing shook his head slightly, his thick eyebrows were already twisted.

The historical knowledge in his mind and the study of battle formations told him that this battle just now seemed to be the victory of the Song army, but in fact it was the Mongols who had the advantage! The Song army was in formation, and it had the advantage of bows and crossbows, and it was normal to repel the attack of Shi Jia's sharp soldiers. This is not a victory, but only the beginning of an engagement...... Just like the positional warfare of the later era, the attacker rarely breaks through the opponent's defense with one attack, and often has to fight many times repeatedly, slowly exhausting the defender's strength before occupying the position.

For the Song army, which had no cavalry available, it was impossible to take advantage of the situation to cover up and expand the results of the battle after repelling the opponent. And once defeated by the opponent, it will be trampled by the Mongolian iron cavalry! What's worse is that under the watchful eye of thousands of Mongolian iron cavalry, it is even difficult for Jia Yidao and Li Tingzhi to dispatch troops everywhere on the battle line, because as long as there is a little confusion in the process of mobilization, it may be attacked by the Mongolian cavalry and cause collapse!

On the contrary, the infantry on the Mongol side had no problem even lying down and sleeping on the battlefield! Because it was impossible for the Song army to send infantry to attack them.

At this time, the horn used by the Mongols to mobilize their troops sounded again! Three more infantry phalanxes drove out of the Mongol formation! The target is still Chen Dexing's Wu Rui Army. This time, it was the Mongol Han army, with the same leather helmet and leather armor, and a sword and shield in hand. Under the guidance of the three "Zhang" character flags, he swaggered and walked on the battlefield. The Mongols, who had been in charge of archery just now, also retreated, and were replaced by another 2,000 Mongol cavalry, which were not only good at horseback charges, but also good at archery, and each of them was equipped with a foot bow, the former for dismounting and shooting, and the latter for horse archery. Of course, the Mongols' arms were also made of flesh and blood, which was also sore and painful, so they adopted the tactic of taking turns shooting arrows.

This is to exhaust the body of the Song army with wheel warfare!

Chen Dexing took a deep breath, what could he do if he knew the plans of the Mongols? He is not the privy minister who commands the whole army, but he is just a soldier with the rank of nine ranks! Moreover, even if he is Jia Yidao, can he come up with a clever plan to restrain the Mongolian iron cavalry and save the Great Song Dynasty? Even if there is such a solution, it will not be effective overnight.

Let's think about getting through today's hurdle first.

Thinking of this, he began to look intently at the Mongol Han army soldiers who were approaching step by step. In his previous life, he was a senior seaman, and he was no stranger to ranging. And he also knew through the guò network that one step in the Song Dynasty was equivalent to about 1.5 meters in later generations, and one hundred and twenty steps was 180 meters. With such a distance, he can measure eight or nine without leaving ten just by visual inspection.

"Stretch!" After a slight bowstring sound, Chen Dexing shot another feather arrow, drawing a semicircular parabola in the air, as if he had eyes, and inserted it into the face door of a burly foot soldier, and the man screamed miserably, and fell to the ground!

"Good! Good archery! ”

At this moment, behind the Song army's great array, on a high platform built of wood on the bank of the Baobao River (Yangzhou Moat, the Slender West Lake of later generations), a middle-aged man wearing a purple official uniform and a long-winged official hat slapped his face gently, and a pair of narrow eyes flashed, revealing a calm demeanor and vigorous desire. Beside him, surrounded by several civil and military officials who were either fully armored or blue-robed and winged, and there were also a few cloth-clothed scribes who did not wear official uniforms, all of whom were looking at the battlefield with their brows wrinkled.

"Xiangfu, that strong man is the general of the Wurui Army, right? Can you have an official position? ”

A civil official wearing a green robe and a somewhat rough appearance stepped forward, bowed and said, "Xianggong, that person's name is Chen Dexing, he is Meng Bu's Chengxin, and he is currently in the position of training. ”

"I already have an official body...... this middle-aged man known as the cardinal minister, is Jia Nidao, the supreme commander of the 40,000 Song troops on the battlefield at this time. I saw him show a look of pity and nodded slightly.

The person who was called "Xiangfu" by Jia Nidao was Li Tingzhi, the actual commander of the Wurui Army. Li Tingzhi was originally born under Meng Heng, and Meng Heng was his master, so after Meng Heng's death, he mourned for him for three years - in this era, the relationship between the master and the person recommended by him was similar to that of master and slave, even if Li Tingzhi later became a civil official in high school, he was still a disciple of Meng Heng, a martial artist.

And the reason why Jia Rudao showed a pity was because Chen Dexing already had an official body, and if he was a white ding, he would only need a recommendation form to get him into the door. Now that it is a chaotic era of soldiers, Chen Dexing's martial arts are not as unpopular as Chengping.
