And just at Zhenjiang Wharf, when a group of loyal ministers and righteous men surrounded the castrated dogs, the decisive battle more than 200 miles away had already begun.

Shoot water.

On both sides of the frozen river, the east and west armies lined up for more than ten miles.

The flags are like clouds in the cold wind of winter, the armor shines on the sun, the sound of war drums and trumpets echoing in this thousand-year-old battlefield with the neighing of war horses and the rumbling cannons.

There are already guns.

Both the Southern Song army and the Northern Song army carried a large number of bowl-mouth guns. Although this weapon is still a certain difference from the real cannon, it can also be equipped with stone bullets, and then barely hit this primary solid bullet to nearly one hundred feet. This range is far beyond the small stone catapult used in field battles, and the combined cannons set up in field battles are only within a hundred meters. Therefore, this bowl-mouth gun, called a large gun, has a range that is not as good as a bed crossbow, but the actual effect is not worse than a bed crossbow...

Anyway, they don’t have the ability to decide the situation.

The crossbow is not accurate enough to hit a hundred feet, but its power is stronger than that of a stone bomb. After all, the latter also has the maximum range.

What can be beaten is simply because of bad luck.

At this moment, both sides lined up large guns in front of the infantry formation, behind the horse-rejected horses, accompanied by the rumbling cannons, and the stone bullets roared and interlaced in the smoke of gunpowder, and then fell into the opponent's formation, causing few casualties, or landing in front of the opponent's formation, causing no melting snow on the ground.

It's quite scary.

"This thing should be bigger!"

Chen Go said with interest.

"What my husband said is that this big gun is less than 100 kilograms and its power can already smash the warships. If it is enlarged to hundreds of kilograms, wouldn't it even be able to break the city wall?"

Li Guang, the staff officer next to him, said.

"Where is the man in armor?"

Chen Go said with a smile.

Li Guang was stunned for a moment...

"Yes, this thing can kill Wang Yue!

The thief is nothing more than a strong force and can wear a hundred kilograms of armor. Even if the divine arm bow cannot penetrate it, even if the 100 kilograms of armor, it cannot stop the big gun. What's more, even a big gun cannot penetrate his armor. At worst, we can build larger ones, and a thousand kilograms can always kill him."

He said in surprise.

Chen Go smiled with a deep expression.

"This thief is in a cocoon this time!"

He said.

"When you can defeat the bandits, you can go back and build some. Then see how the thief is so arrogant."

Li Guang said excitedly.

This discovery is really exciting.

"Enemy cavalry!"

Suddenly a shout rang out.

They quickly turned their eyes to the battlefield. On the frozen river surface where the water was shot, a large number of cavalry flocked by, and even slashed the ice layer on the river surface. However, the water was very shallow this season and did not affect the passage of the cavalry at all. This was not a big river.

Chen Go did not react at all, just watched this scene quietly.

The big guns immediately began to replace the shotguns, and the crossbows also aimed at the cavalry. Iron feather arrows with gunpowder bags were shot first, creating few casualties and explosions among the cavalry. But these war horses were trained, and such explosions would not have any impact. The torrent of hundreds of cavalry continued to move forward and stepped onto the river bank.

At the same time, the big guns spewed out flames.

The effect of shotguns is obvious, and the casualties of cavalry are significantly increased.

But it's useless.

The sock-up of these large guns is very weak and it is impossible to penetrate the armor at all. Even if it hits without the armor, it will only hit a very painful level.

Many war horses neighed and tried to turn around.

But under the control of the cavalry, they still maintained their charge.

Immediately afterwards, the shooting of the Divine Arm Bow began, and at the same time there was a three-eyed gun.

Of course, we cannot expect the Southern Song army to wait for the cavalry to reach twenty meters, fifty meters, but they are already very brave. In fact, they are already very brave if they can not escape. This is indeed due to the encouragement of the imperial commander-in-chief. His Majesty the Emperor is behind him. Even if there are still two hundred miles away, the motivation for morale is very obvious. In addition, Chen Gou's heavy reward, the soldiers of the Southern Song Dynasty still did not escape in exchange for it.

The Divine Arm Bow and the Three-Eyed Gun caused more casualties to the cavalry, but they still could not stop the cavalry from moving forward, and then they rushed to the front of the horse.

The big gunmen ran away without hesitation.

Almost at the same time, the first cavalry arrived, and the flames of the three-eyed guns were squirting in the hands of the cavalry.

Many infantrymen lined up here immediately fell, and the remaining people were screaming in horror. Most of the Southern Song army, who had never been on the battlefield, immediately began to watch from the side.

The cavalry that had fired the bullet immediately turned, took out the bow and arrow on the horse's back, and aimed at the Southern Song infantry behind while turning around. The subsequent cavalry followed, and the three-eyed gun continued to fire. More Southern Song soldiers fell, and then more people began to watch left and right. Even as the casualties increased, some people began to turn around and try to escape...

It's understandable.

After all, most of them are on the battlefield for the first time.

However, this was just a tentative attack, so there were only five hundred cavalry attacking. They attacked in four groups in five horizontal teams. When they arrived at the quasi-master, they immediately fired with three-eyed guns, and completed the steering at the same time. After turning, they quickly shot five arrows with a return horse shooting. The entire attack process was just to shoot more than a thousand bullets and more than two thousand arrows. Such an attack would not have crushed an infantryman with a shield wall and heavy armor. Although some people did start to escape, they stopped by the officer's scolding and the crowding of crossbowmen behind them without collapsing.

The cavalry evacuated immediately.

Even a few injured and dismissed men hurriedly got up and ran away, and the battlefield returned to peace.

"Give rewards to the athletes who are brave enough to fight the enemy."

Chen Go said.

"quick!"

Li Guang waved to the back.

A group of soldiers immediately carried the open lid, lit up the boxes of silver coins inside, and walked forward. With the envious eyes of the soldiers who did not participate in the battle, they walked directly to the soldiers who had just participated in the battle, and then directly sent them money. The soldiers who were already panicked because of their casualties, immediately became calm with the silver coins.

"My husband, the bandits are obviously testing. I'm afraid they will launch a large-scale attack next. Will Liu Guangshi be ordered to attack?"

Li Guang said.

"Let's talk about it!"

Chen Go said.

His tactics are similar to those of Zhong Shidao.

It was the central army, vanguard, guard, and left and right wings. It was just that he was behind the vanguard at this time. The most elite infantry he thought was blocking the bridgehead, and behind him was the central army of 40,000 people. Liu Yanqing was in charge of command, and there were 10,000 defenders behind. The left and right wings were the cavalry of Liu Guangguo and Liu Guangshi, each leading 5,000 cavalry.

The Song army fought this kind of five armies.

On the other side are the Changsheng Army and the infantry cavalry, which is actually less than 30,000 in total. The Western Army commanded by Yang Weizhong and the 10,000 Xuyi defenders continued to defend in Xuyi. Among them, the 5,000 led by Zhe Kecun blocked Liu Guangneng's troops who came from Haozhou in the west.

but……

Active attack is still undesirable.

Chen Go is still self-aware of this.

Of course, it is mainly because I, the Song Dynasty, do not have the habit of taking the initiative to attack, and I, the Song Dynasty, like to be passive.

Li Guang looked at the other side of the shore, the colors of flags on the vast snowy field and the black below the flags. The fires flashed in front of them, and then the smoke filled the gunpowder made all this hazy again.

"Here you come!"

He suddenly said.

In the haze filled with gunpowder, a steel wall suddenly appeared.

"Insulated cavalry!"

Li Guang said with a hint of panic.

Chen Gou looked silently, the steel wall quickly became clear in his vision, and the war horses protected by full armor were arranged closely. The cavalry on the horses were all new-style plate armor, holding spears with small pennant flags formed a dense forest in the sky. He stepped on the sound of horse hooves that looked like thunder in the sky, and quickly pulled the distance forward on the snow field. Even he could feel the ground under his feet tremble slightly.

The formation of the vanguard infantry in front of him was immediately in chaos.

The soldiers who had just been on the battlefield for the first time, the emotions that had just been soothed by silver coins quickly turned into panic under the threat of equipped cavalry.

This is the most terrifying force on the battlefield of cold weapons.

The cavalry, who were carrying men and horses, stepped through the snowy wasteland, crossed the frozen river, and the bitter murderous aura of the real iron horse ice river, gradually enlarged in their vision, gradually became clear, and gradually suppressed their breathing. Screams sounded in the vanguard formation, chaotic howling sounded, and even began to appear trying to escape, including officers, who also appeared to escape. Before the cavalry stepped onto the river bank, the formation was on the verge of collapse.

"Left and left wing cavalry attacked!"

Chen Go said without hesitation.

If the cavalry does not attack, the forward formation will be over.

Li Guang personally picked up the flag, turned his head and waved towards the central army formation behind him.

However……

"My husband, Liu Yanqing let us hold on first!"

He looked at the flag waving beside Liu Yanqing and said with a look of grief and anger.

At this moment, the cavalry stepped onto the river bank, and the dense forest of spears in the sky suddenly fell down, and then turned toward this side. With a loud trumpet, the steel wall began to charge with the sound of thunderous horse hooves.

"Stay calm, we have to resist the horse!"

Chen Go rushed forward like crazy and waved his sword and roared.

However, this was useless. The formation in front of him was like a dam that reached its limit in front of the flood. Suddenly, all the Southern Song infantrymen who were frightened by cavalry were furious, screaming and turning around desperately, crowding and pushing and running away like crazy. Their officers took the lead in escaping, and the civil servants who supervised the battle also fled, and everyone was running away. The formation that stretched for nearly two miles almost completely collapsed in the blink of an eye.

Chen Gou looked at the scene in amazement.

Then his waist bent weakly, and he stood there as if he had lost his support, allowing the defeated soldiers to swarm by his side...

"Quickly, protect my husband from retreating!"

Li Guang's shouts rang out immediately.
Chapter completed!
