The shields of the heavy armored infantry of the Song Army stood heavily on the ground.
It's hard to imagine how they managed to hold on, wearing heavy armor, fighting from the mountain to the bottom of the mountain all night, and pursuing for such a long time.
"Lift!"
"Shua..."
The spearmen all raised their spears and pointed them diagonally forward.
The shield is like a wall and the spears are like a forest, forming an airtight line of defense.
This is only the first phalanx of the Song Army.
There are nine such square formations in total, which are called "nine armies and eight formations".
Zhang Jue led the central army in the middle, with an army on each of the four sides and four corners.
In this way, no matter which direction the Mongolian army attacks, Zhang Jue will remain high on the general platform, motionless as a mountain.
This also represents his determination not to retreat until he defeats the enemy.
Nine command flags of different colors are erected to issue orders to the nine armies respectively.
The drums of war gradually rose.
"Dong, dong, dong..."
Although the Song army only had 5,000 men, they put up a huge array.
If we say that the Mongolian army was invincible in field battles at that time, the Song army may not be completely invincible in field battles.
The most recent example is Yue Fei. The most recent example is Cao Youwen.
Twenty years ago, the Mongolian army of 500,000 troops attacked Shu. Cao Youwen led tens of thousands of heavy infantry to meet the enemy. He won ten field battles and captured more than ten Mongolian military camps. The Mongolian army was bleeding for more than 20 miles, and there were mountains of corpses outside Yangping Pass.
.
Unexpectedly, heavy rains continued, and the Song army's fur was all wet, which was not conducive to fighting on foot. Cao Youwen was finally defeated at the hands of Wang Shixian and committed suicide.
Even Wang Shixian exclaimed, "General Shu is a real man!" He heard that Cao You was buried with a grand ceremony. From then on, there was a saying that "the Song army in Shu is no longer capable of fighting in the field."
Today, Zhang Jue vowed to break this theory and let the Song army have another field victory in twenty years.
He seemed to be going crazy...
~~
"So arrogant."
Shi Tianze was also arranging his army. He looked at Zhang Jue's formation and felt extremely disdainful in his heart.
The Song army was destined to be defeated, but they did not want to retreat into Diaoyu City at any time. They dared to put up nine armies and eight formations, waiting to be surrounded by the Mongolian army.
ridiculous.
The Mongolian army did not need to form a formation. They calmed the horses and fed them with hay. Then they drove the horses to run in all directions and began to surround the Song army's formation to find a breakthrough.
Like a wild animal hunting, it first observes the prey.
All the Mongols felt very happy.
They have been here for half a year, and they have been fighting the most annoying mountain battle every day. Today is finally their best battle in the plains.
With the horses running, the Mongolian army had completely forgotten the panic of being attacked at night.
This is a new day, the wind is sunny, and it is also a day when they will win a great victory.
…
Finally, both sides completed their respective adjustments, and with the long horn blast, the Mongolian army rushed towards the Song army's line.
Under the rain of arrows, it is like dark clouds covering the sun.
~~
Brother Meng walked up to the lookout on Shizi Mountain step by step.
He has not been on stage for dozens of days.
Shizi Mountain is too far away from Diaoyu City, so you can't see the scene of attacking the mountain.
The Mongolian army also failed to seize the commanding heights of Ma'anshan. Unbeknownst to Meng Ge, he thus escaped being hit by artillery stones and being knocked down by a lookout.
He remains ambitious, calm and confident.
Looking into the distance, I saw tens of thousands of Mongolian troops on horseback, splitting and joining together, like black sea water surging.
The rain of arrows was like a huge wave from the sea, hitting the Song army.
Tens of thousands of people attack five thousand. This is a battle without any suspense.
But Meng Ge didn't find it boring.
We have been waiting for more than half a year, and today is a feast since the siege of the city in half a year.
"Here comes the wine!"
A soldier brought the strong drink, Meng Ge took it casually and looked at Naodingping again.
It was just a small hill, shaped like the top of the head, but people in the Song Dynasty wore their hair in a bun because there was a small peak on the top of the mountain.
Nearly a hundred Song people who dared to assassinate him gathered on the small peak.
Brother Zhao Pan is besieging...
"Push the artillery cart to support Brother Pan." Meng Ge said.
If a few cannons hit Naodingping, the people of Song Dynasty would be finished.
The Meng general who took the order was called "Lai Abachi", and he was the son of Shusuhuli.
Laibachi is not like his father who persuades the Khan in everything. He is more obedient.
Soon, the Mongolian army rolled out the artillery cart and pushed towards Naodingping with difficulty...
~~
"Bring me the Han army!"
Brother Zhao Pan had dismounted his horse and stared at the top of his head, his eyes full of anger.
His son Zhao Chongxi was very good at climbing cliffs because he had been in Lizhou for a long time. Unlike Pan, Zhao's elder brother mostly had cavalry under his command.
There is only one mountain road up the mountain, which is very steep. It is guarded by the Song army, and the Mongolian army can only dismount and form a line to attack the mountain, and cannot use its troops.
Brother Zhao Pan felt that this attack was too slow, so he had to mobilize more troops and climb up from all sides to join the attack.
But there was no need for him to ask for help. Soon, Wang Zhongchen arrived with his troops in person.
Although there are only a few enemies in Naodingping, less than a hundred, but Wang Jian, the lord of Diaoyu City, is here and dares to assassinate the Great Khan, so he has become a must-kill person for the Mongolian army.
There is so much credit here, the Mongolian troops all scrambled to take the lead and attacked fiercely.
"Kill him!"
…
"Kill!"
"General, we've run out of arrows!"
"The stone can't be found!"
On the top of the mountain, Wang Jian listened to the shouts and looked down the mountain. He saw that the Mongolian army attacking the mountain had no end in sight.
This is not a Diaoyu City. It lacks city defense and military strength, so there is no possibility of defending it.
"Stab Meng Tatar down!"
The Song army was sweating like rain, and kept stabbing with the spears in their hands, stabbing down the Mongolian soldiers who climbed up one by one.
"ah!"
The screams were endless.
"Whoosh whoosh!"
The arrows of the Mongolian army were also thrown up, falling on the Song army like a heavy rain.
The Song general named "Lao Santian" clanged twice on his helmet, and he couldn't help but think about it and shouted: "Take the Mongolian army's arrows and shoot them!"
He was really clever. He immediately bent down to pick up an arrow, opened his bow and shot down the mountain.
"puff."
Lao Santian also screamed in pain, but he had been hit by an arrow in the back of his neck and was bleeding.
"Your mother!"
He was in so much pain that he didn't even bother to pick up the arrow, so he picked up the spear and stabbed down the mountain.
"Back off!" Li Xia's command suddenly came.
"Leave the cliff and form an array!"
Lao Santian felt out of breath and was about to retreat after hearing the order...
Suddenly, a hook rope was thrown up and hooked his foot.
The Mongolian army below gave him a hard pull, causing him to lean back and suddenly fall down.
"Mita!"
"ah!"
On the battlefield, five people were immediately pulled down the mountain by the hook rope and lost their lives.
"Back off! Get into formation!"
Wang Jian, Li Xia, Nie Zhongyou, and Wang Yixin each led more than 20 people to guard the four directions. They had already left the cliff and retreated in formation.
Soon, the Mongolian soldiers climbed up one after another.
"prick!"
The spears were thrust together, and the Mongolian troops were driven down the mountain violently.
The Mongolian troops below were beaten until they howled like ghosts.
"prick!"
…
Jing Ada stabbed dozens of times with his spear, feeling his hands and calves trembling.
He is running out of energy.
From last night to this morning, I only ate one piece of bread. I was tired, sleepy, hungry and thirsty, and I wanted to fall down.
"Be a hero!"
He shouted to encourage himself and thrust out the spear again.
The spear pierced the body of a Mongolian soldier who had just climbed up the mountain.
The Meng soldier screamed strangely, and when he looked down, he found that the spear had no tip, only a stick.
Jing Ada and him looked at each other and were both stunned.
"ah!"
Both sides roared loudly. There was a cliff behind the Meng soldiers, and they had no choice but to charge forward with their spears. Jing Ada also struggled to resist.
The two cows on the side were about to help when an arrow shot out and knocked him to the ground.
"Two cows!"
Jing'a roared loudly, and the Mongolian soldier took two steps forward, turned aside, and slashed at him with the scimitar in his hand.
"puff."
Wang Yixin stepped in and stabbed the Mongolian soldier down.
Jing Ada was still in shock, and he quickly leaned over and picked up another spear that had fallen to the ground.
Only when he held the spear shaft with his hand and saw that Er Niu was dead, his eyes became sore again.
Only then did he realize that being a hero is never easy.
There was no time for him to realize that the Mongolian army had already attacked again.
In such a mountain attack, the Mongolian army's casualties were much higher than those of the Song army.
But the Mongolian army is endless, but the Song army only has a few dozen people left...
"General Wang, break out and return to Diaoyu City!"
Finally, one of Wang Jian's generals felt desperate and shouted: "The general will cut off the queen at the end! Diaoyu City cannot live without a general!"
"Keep guarding!" Wang Jian shouted.
"You shouldn't have listened to General Li, and you shouldn't have gone up this hill..."
"Stop! Kill the enemy with all your heart!"
The shout was quickly drowned out by the scream.
Li Xia seemed not to have heard, and his figure was still as firm as ever.
He was guarding the east side facing the mountain road. The defensive pressure was the greatest, but the defense was the most stable.
Seeing him like this, the soldiers calmed down and suppressed the despair in their hearts.
Time passed little by little.
Seeing more and more soldiers falling, even Li Xia couldn't help but have a hint of anxiety in his eyes.
The long sword stabbed again, and a Mongolian soldier fell on his back, and a shadow covered the ferocious face before death...
The vision is a little darker.
In a hurry, Li Xia looked up and saw a dark cloud passing by, blocking the sun.
He suddenly fell into a trance.
He has always been a very confident person, but at this moment he felt that the achievements he had made in his previous life were nothing at all.
Compared with the Mongolian Khan who ruled across Europe and Asia, is the gold medal he won by Li Xia comparable to that of a Batu in the Mongolian army?
Brother Meng's current power is like this huge dark cloud in the sky, covering the entire world...
