I won’t mention Li Su’s relief for the moment, but will only talk about the moment before.

At that time, the Jin army marched out from three sides, with a neat formation and a huge momentum, and all of them were heavy cavalry, including six armored cavalry commonly known as Iron Buddha. The so-called joint attack was fierce, and it took almost half a day to recharge and recharge.

, naturally the morale is high, and they are quite angry to swallow up hundreds of thousands of people in the highlands and reverse the overall situation.

At the same time, the Song army was condescending and had a military advantage. More importantly, it had already had the potential to suppress the overall situation and win a great victory. How could it be easily shaken?

At this juncture, a situation that caught people off guard was that in a position east of the south side of the highland, the main cavalry forces of both sides were almost caught off guard and exposed each other face to face... Both the heavy and light cavalry of the Song and Jin royal camp cavalry were exposed.

Here, the western part of the Jin Army's Lisu Division and the eastern subordinates led by Uncle Wanyan's uncle are also here.

Immediately, under the influence of factors such as terrain, time, and army position, large groups of heavy cavalry from both Song and Jin Dynasties suddenly broke out in a large-scale face-to-face confrontation that was rare in the world.

It is really rare in the world... When the Jin army attacked the Khitans more than ten years ago, they still needed to place hard-armored infantry in the middle, stack up horsemen on the left and right, and conduct short-distance charges layer by layer. How much less between the Song and Jin Dynasties? Let alone such a scale.

?

But it just appeared, and it was fast, fierce, bloody, with heavy casualties, and countless casualties were lost in an instant.

Those who were knocked off their horses by spears, those who were knocked off their saddles by cavalry warhammers, a very few who lost control and fell due to face-to-face collisions, and the most common ones, under the pressure of the strong battlefield due to the so-called mud, slippery and corpses, the horses

, lost control due to obstacles, fell off the horse... But no matter what the reason, as long as they lose control of the horse during this charge, they will basically lose their combat effectiveness even if they are not dead.

A large-scale cavalry attrition suddenly occurred.

Of course, to be honest, the winner of this charge is undoubtedly the Jin Army... Otherwise, there would not be a scene where Ba Lisu swept away the people in front of him and climbed up the hill to see the Song Army's 'throw'.

Only when I returned to the present moment, when Marshal Ba Lisu of the Kingdom of Jin saw a huge threat appearing in his field of vision and made up his mind to give it a try, he couldn't help but immediately discovered a serious problem - he had obviously been in a head-on cavalry duel before.

They won, but they were unable to effectively assemble the troops.

"How to say?"

Ba Lisu's tone was calm and serious.

"Although the Song Army's cavalry was weak, they dispersed and did not collapse. They just held us back from behind." Meng An, who was obviously coming from the rear, responded anxiously. "And there are also Party members, there are Party members everywhere.

The light cavalry, as well as some Mongolians and Khitans, are all helping the heavy cavalry of the Song Army to bite us."

Another Meng'an couldn't help but explain in a low voice: "Marshal... he charged too hard just now. Although we took advantage, our troops to the west and Uncle Wanyan's brother to the east

The tribesmen were directly mixed up with the Song Army’s cavalry, and they couldn’t be separated at all.”

Ba Lisu suddenly realized in his heart, but instead of getting angry, he smiled.

To be fair, if the large-scale charge just now took place on an open terrain battlefield, and only cavalry participated in the battle, then the outcome of the battle would probably have been decided at this time, that is, the Jin Army defeated the Song Army, and then the Song Army collapsed.

The Jin army pursued and killed them on a large scale, forming a typical victory.

Ba Lisu has experienced too many such great victories in his life.

But at this time...

You don't need to look carefully to know what's going on - the entire battlefield is centered on the highlands, and is actually a huge area with the Taiping River and the Jin Army camp as its outer edges. This area is of course very large.

It was even too big, but as the decisive battle between the two great powers of the Song and Jin Dynasties, it still seemed very crowded, especially since they had invested hundreds of thousands of troops.

So on such a battlefield, with both armies in a red-eyed state, at the core of the battlefield, with camps in the front, rivers in the rear, dragon flags on the highlands, and five-color sun flags on the slopes... around

With friendly and enemy troops everywhere, after triggering such a charge, what if there is a slight victory or defeat?

Even if you want to chase or escape, where can you pursue and where can you escape?

A real pursuit and escape probably requires the complete collapse of one side's entire army... That rush just now was shocking to the world, but it was not enough to settle the matter.

"It doesn't matter, we can keep up as much as we can." After laughing, Bazushi looked back to the north. There, the iron dragon had obviously begun to enter the battlefield, which forced Bazushi to change his strategy. "Then go and find it.

Tiao Lubu asked him to try his best to join me, and if he couldn't join, he would advance hand in hand with me... Tell him that although the Song Army is strong, it has obvious weaknesses, that is, the formation is too weak, with only four columns. As long as he can maintain one

With a thick formation, we can easily penetrate the long snake formation of the Song Army, forcing the opponent to stop advancing and then form a formation to protect ourselves. If we can meet up behind the Song Army's formation, we still have a chance to win this battle.

.”

"Here!"

"Also Yelu Mawu and Wanyan Youlun, tell them that I know they are suffering, but now is not the time to worry about some things. Let them try their best to mobilize cavalry to follow them, whether they follow Jianlu to make up for it or follow me,

You must use all your strength... When Tian Lubu and I collide with the Song army, as long as we break through, no matter which side it is, they will immediately separate all the cavalry, let Yelu Mawu follow them forward, leaving only the infantry.

Give him good offices and let him maintain the front."

"Here."

After some instructions, the officers received the military order and dispersed. Ba Lisu ignored the fact that some of the cavalry behind him were bitten by the imperial cavalry, and directly waved the flag to the north, heading towards the iron dragon of the Song Army.

.

The surrounding Jin Army cavalry also tried their best to gather behind the five-color sun-holding flag... Jin Army cavalry kept arriving, and there were also Jin Army cavalry from the periphery and rear that stopped because of the bite from the surrounding Song troops.

...But after all, they tried their best to maintain a core, large-scale, high-morale, and energetic elite cavalry regiment.

At the same time, two Hezha were stationed on the two wings in front, constantly suppressing and driving away the Song army's military formations that tried to block them, preventing them from encountering a large-scale blockage.

Overall, although it was very difficult, Ba Lisu still used his prestige and commanding ability to mobilize a top-notch elite cavalry formation of the Jin Army, and moved towards the wall-like wall of the Song Army as quickly as possible.

Like a forest of Zhajia, they left in great formation.

Of course, the other party also kept coming towards me without stopping for a moment.

The drizzle continued, and from the commanding heights of the battlefield, Zhao Jiu watched this scene expressionlessly.

After seeing the Jin Army's cavalry formation stand out before, the official's expression changed for a time, but soon, before all the Song Army's Zhajia heavy steps came into battle, and even after the charge, he regained his composure.

Sitting expressionlessly, there was no sound. Now, he just leaned northwest and faced southeast in the rain, and then tilted his head slightly to watch the two so-called 'last throws' approaching each other... He even refused

The telescope presented by Liu Yan.

Without him, at this time, there is really nothing needed.

Anyone who saw these two armies, or just one of the two armies, would realize that this was the final battle.

From this morning to this day, the outcome of the entire battle after a hard battle for most of the day; or from the end of last autumn to the beginning of winter, the gains and losses of the 300,000-strong Northern Expedition after more than four months; or even since Jingkang, the two countries have been fighting for ten years.

The final fate of the country after the war will be determined by the outcome of the battle within the next hour.

In fact, despite the shouts and rumblings of the surrounding battlefields, it was extremely quiet under the dragon's banner. Under the drizzle, Zhao Jiu was not the only one who remained silent. Han Shizhong, Li Yanxian, and most of the ministers and officers were also silent.

No one said a word. Even those who were preparing for consultation, although they were obviously a little panicked, did not dare to make a sound. They just watched all this shivering in the rain.

Only Wu Jie calmly observed the situation, and from time to time would whisper to a certain general gathered behind him, asking him to lead his followers to fill in somewhere, march, or find the remaining Chixin Cavalry, and directly assign military orders to tell a certain unit what to do.

How to act.

On the gentle slope on the east side of the highland, Ba Lisu, who had become clear-headed after seeing the iron dragon of the Song Army, certainly knew that the Zhao and Song officials could see him, Han Shizhong could see him, Li Yanxian and Wu Jie could see him, and so on.

Everyone under the dragon can see him...but he doesn't care.

And somewhat unexpectedly, when he led this troop whose specific number could not be counted due to chaos and slowly marched towards the Song Army's "Iron Dragon", he couldn't help but compare the current situation with

For comparison, the charge at Lou Shi in front of Yaoshan Mountain was compared.

At this moment, the cavalry formation behind him seemed to be almost the same as the formation beside Lou Shi that day in terms of strength and eliteness. Even the number of Hezha Mengan who opened the way was the same.

The strength of the Song army in front of them seemed to be similar to that of the core troops at the foot of Yao Mountain that day, and there were also large formations of the two armies in a stalemate on both sides.

But as he walked, Ba Lisu always felt that there was something in front of him, which seemed to be completely different from Yaoshan... At first he thought it was a formation problem, but there was nothing he could do. The battlefield was too crowded, and he just wanted to clean it up.

The objective conditions do not allow for a round formation like that in Lou's room.

What's more, although the highlands are highlands and the slopes are slopes, compared with the plateaus like Yaoshan, the highlands on this plain are still flatter and more open. There is no need for a circular formation, and the charging conditions are still good.

But if it's not a formation problem, then what is it?

After thinking for a moment, Ba Lisu suddenly laughed secretly behind his visor... What else could it be? It was simply that the Song Army was different from the past. The heavy step formation like a wall in front of them was too strong.

Even if he relied on the thickness of his cavalry formation to defeat a section, he would not delay the remaining Song troops from forming a new formation or continuing to advance.

There is a natural gap in military strength.

At this thought, Ba Lisu once again looked at the iron dragon of the Song Army carefully, and then his heart jumped suddenly... because in just a quarter of an hour on the way, the armored wall and ax forest of the Song Army turned out to be nothing.

Like a monster, life suddenly becomes thicker!

At first, Ba Lisu thought he was wrong, but he kept silent and quickly checked on his horse. He was shocked to find that the Song Army's formation had really become thicker... Now it has been formed in many places.

Five columns, and even obvious six columns in some places!

However, when Ba Lisu saw that the iron dragon of the Song Army inevitably became bent due to the march, he was relieved... This should be the superposition caused by the bending of the formation. No wonder the Song Army used such a weak array.

, it was probably caused by foreseeing this scenario and then wanting to ensure that the front was covered as wide as possible.

But soon, as Ba Lisu saw the Song army in front of them coming into contact with a local battle group that was still fighting, he could no longer deceive himself.

Because he saw with his own eyes that the Song army in that battle group was absorbed and merged by the iron dragon.

"Steady, steady!"

In the rain miles away, Yang Yizhong was sweating profusely and kept talking. The words he had always said today were probably more serious than what he had said a month ago, and he screamed every word, but he didn't notice it.

."Forward, forward! Get out of the way! Get out of the way! Get to the back and follow with the whole team!!"

As Yang Yizhong and hundreds of officers lined up in the armored wall and ax forest roared, this 24,000 armored heavy infantry, which brought together the elite of the entire empire, finally showed a kind of force in front of everyone.

Visible battlefield dominance.
To be continued...
