The Mongolian army watched the Qi army coming out of camp. Guyou saw the flags of the Qi army formations on the opposite side and asked Batu and Meng Ge to take the lead in launching a surprise attack.

Because judging from the flags of the Qi army, the elite of the Qi army gathered in the middle, obviously hoping to break through from the middle.

Now Guiyu's prestige in Mongolia is not enough. If the soldiers and horses suffer heavy losses in this battle, then Meng Ge and Batu will ride on his head and shit.

Therefore, he proposed to let the two men launch the attack first to contain the strength of the Qi army and avoid a tragic struggle between himself and the Qi army.

When Batu saw that opposite him was the weak force of the Qi army, he was secretly happy.

"I understand." Brother Meng did not refuse. He knew Guiyu's intention, but Hedong was his territory. If he didn't fight hard, how could he expect others to fight hard?

"Don't worry, Great Khan. The enemy has few cavalry. I will send the Qi army first to explore his strength!" Meng Ge said loudly.

Seeing that the two agreed, Guyou immediately nodded: "You each go back to your own formation and prepare for the battle." Meng Ge and Batu immediately pulled the reins and ran to the left and right, respectively, to the two wing formations.

At this time, the Qi army on the opposite side formed a large formation, with 140,000 soldiers and horses already in formation. Zhao Tai, wearing golden armor and a red cloak, rode a war horse whose body was like charcoal, came out of the army formation, stood in front of the army, held high

The soldiers of the Qi army immediately raised their weapons and loudly sang the military song of the Qi army.

"Look up, look up to the sky and roar, with strong ambitions." Although the relationship between Qi State and the Southern Song Dynasty was not good, Song Dynasty general Yue Fei's song "Man Jiang Hong" was designated by Zhao Tai as the military song of Qi State.

The power contained in this famous patriotic poem that has been recited through the ages is unparalleled in its ability to inspire people's hearts and inspire soldiers to kill the enemy and serve the country.

140,000 Qi troops

"Long roar", everyone was filled with emotion and anger, and their emotions reached a climax in an instant.

"Thirty years of fame and dust, eight thousand miles of clouds and moon." The soldiers sang in unison, with resolute expressions, "Don't wait for a while, the young man's head will turn gray, and the sorrow will be empty!"

"The shame of Jingkang has not yet snowed. The hatred of the ministers, when will it be destroyed! Drive a long chariot and trample through the gap in Helan Mountain." Three words, one sound and one hammer, and then

"Driving a long car" soars into the sky with pride.

"The ambition is to eat the meat of Huns when hungry, and to drink the blood of Huns when they are thirsty."

"Start from the beginning, clean up the old mountains and rivers, and face the sky." Under the banner of the Mongolian army, Guiyou listened to the heroic singing of the Qi army.

The morale of the Qi army has been mobilized." At this time, Zhao Tai inspected the front of the formation amidst the loud singing of the Qi army, and then returned to the central army and stationed himself under the banner of the great banner.

In the Mongolian army formation, Meng Ge saw the Qi army raising their weapons, their morale was high, and their singing shocked the hearts of the Mongolian army, especially the 50,000 Hedong Han army. He immediately gave an angry order,

"The horse army attacks!" Seeing the strong morale of the Qi army, Meng Ge gave the decisive order. The horn of the Mongolian left wing suddenly sounded, and 20,000 Mongolian cavalry slowly marched out of the formation.

On the right wing of the Mongolian army, Batu was still waiting for orders from the Chinese army. When he saw Meng Ge launching the attack first, he immediately waved his hand.

"Attack!" The Mongolian cavalry on the right wing also moved out of the formation, slowly increased their speed, and rushed towards the Qi army's formation.

At this time, tens of thousands of Mongolian cavalry galloped towards the battlefield. The roar of horse hooves trampling the earth prevented the Qi army from continuing to advance and the river was red. The Qi army hurriedly defended in various ways.

When Brother Meng heard Qi Jun's singing stop, he couldn't help snorting coldly,

"Humph, why don't Qi thieves sing?" The war drums of the Qi army's central army were beating, military flags were waving, and the officers of each formation shouted loudly one after another,

"Defense!" Armies from each formation, spearmen wearing heavy armor, came to the front of the military formation, while the gunmen and archers stood behind, staring only at the Mongolian cavalry that was running towards them.

There were 20,000 cavalrymen rushing out from the left and right wings of Mongolia. Zhao Tai stood under the banner and observed with a telescope. He found that the cavalry rushing forward in the lens were all light armored cavalry.

Zhao Tai put down his telescope, waved his hand, and said calmly: "The first wave of Mongolian cavalry is the light cavalry. Order the horse army to retreat to the rear formation and let them attack the infantry formation!" The characteristics of the Mongolian light cavalry are that their horses are fast and they are good at running.

Shooting chaos.

The Qi army has 40,000 cavalry, and the number of cavalry is very large. However, the Qi army's cavalry are all armored cavalry.

This kind of cavalry is between light cavalry and heavy cavalry. It does not have the powerful maneuverability of Mongolian light cavalry, nor the strong defensive capabilities of heavy cavalry.

Of course, this does not mean that Qi's cavalry is weaker than Mongolian cavalry. On the contrary, Qi's cavalry has no fear at all when facing Mongolian cavalry and can even take advantage.

The Mongolian light cavalry is fast and has low defense. If it clashes with the Qi army's armored cavalry, it will definitely fall behind.

The impact and defensive power of the Mongolian heavy cavalry are terrifying, but that is for the infantry. The maneuverability of the Qi army's cavalry is far greater than that of the Mongolian heavy cavalry. They can completely use the battlefield to deal with them and use their mobility to deal with the Mongolian heavy cavalry.

Mongolia's light cavalry and heavy cavalry were mainly used to deal with Qi's infantry, while Qi's cavalry existed to fight against Mongolian cavalry from its birth.

Now the Mongolian light cavalry rushed over. Zhao Tai did not let the Qi army's cavalry attack him because the Mongolian light cavalry had just come out to fight and the horses were faster than the Qi army's cavalry.

Therefore, Zhao Tai first asked the Qi army's cavalry to retreat and let the Mongolian cavalry gallop for a while. When their horse power was exhausted and their maneuverability decreased, Zhao Tai then sent the Qi army's armored cavalry to attack, so that they could chase the Mongolian light cavalry and kill them.

At that time, the Mongolian light cavalry could not fly kites, and their defense was inferior to that of the Qi army's cavalry, so the Qi army could gain an advantage.

Zhao Tai gave an order, and the flags of the Chinese army waved and drums and trumpets sounded. The Qi army and horse troops on both wings stared at the incoming Mongolian army. When they heard the sound, they immediately looked towards the Chinese army.

When the commanders of the Qi army's cavalry saw the Chinese army's order, they immediately pulled the reins of their horses, and the cavalry on both wings retreated one after another.

Under the banner of the Mongolian army, Guyou saw the Qi army's cavalry retreating behind the infantry formation in the face of the impact of the Mongolian cavalry on both wings. He sneered: "It seems that Zhao Tai has no confidence in his cavalry!"

At that time, the Mongolian cavalry on the left and right wings were running at full speed. When they saw the Qi army's cavalry retreating, they rushed directly to the flanks of the Qi army's infantry formation, preparing to rush into the chaotic formation and create opportunities for the heavy cavalry to rush into the formation.

Zhao Tai used his telescope to watch the two groups of cavalry approaching. He looked very calm when he saw them rushing in with the force of Mount Tai.

At this time, he was watching and paying attention to the distance. When the Mongolian cavalry entered the artillery range, he gave the order without hesitation.

"Artillery bombardment!" In each formation of the Qi army, the artillery arrayed in front had been loaded long ago, and the black muzzles were raised high, aiming in the direction in which Meng Qi was running.

"Fire!" the officer's voice sounded. The gunner standing next to the artillery holding a torch immediately leaned the torch in his hand.

"Boom, boom, boom!" There were loud noises in the Qi army's formation. Each artillery retreated violently, long flames erupted from the muzzles, and clouds of gunpowder smoke rose up.
