The battlefield was very chaotic, or in other words, the battlefield that attacked the palace tent of the Central Army of the Song Dynasty was very chaotic.

Tens of thousands of war horses went crazy and charged directly into the central army of the Song Dynasty. The chariot array of the Song Dynasty, under the guidance of Zhao Xi, was already stacked with chariots, but was still in pieces after being hit.

Although the defense line was not breached, a counterattack could not be organized for a while.

The soldiers in the fighting position on the chariot were so dizzy by the impact of the war horses that they could no longer fight.

Not to mention that the hands and feet are so messed up that they can't stand firmly. Even if they can stand firm, they can't launch the gunpowder bombs at this time... There is no direction at all, and they may be launched directly to their own back camp.

Di Qing was indeed right about Beiliao's fire horse attack this time, but he didn't expect Beiliao's attack to be launched by Crazy Horse and cavalry this time.

At the same time as Crazy Horse crashed into the camp, Beiliao's cavalry also arrived...

The cavalry had already broken through the chariot defense line. After the cavalry broke out of the defense line, the gap was blocked again.

The entire Central Army of the Song Dynasty was in total darkness. The Fan Cavalry and the Northern Liao Cavalry were already fighting together. And because of this situation, the Song Dynasty's gunpowder bombs could not be fired in large quantities.

That is to say, the musketeers are still capable of fighting. They hide behind the messy chariots and shoot continuously, taking away the lives of Beiliao war horses or cavalry from time to time.

"Guan family, the Chinese army's palace tents should retreat!"

Wang Anshi once again spoke to dissuade him. This time, Di Qing did not dare to analyze the battle situation.

Obviously, the current situation is already very dangerous for the palace tents of the Central Army of the Song Dynasty. There are many contingencies on the battlefield. The Northern Liao cavalry may break through the gap and rush into the defense line, which will eventually lead to an accident for the entire frontline commander.

Di Qing could not afford such a risk. Although Di Qing felt that it was not yet time to retreat to the Chinese army's palace tents, if he were the commander-in-chief, he might have fought out instead of retreating.

However, the current Chinese military palaces are owned by officials, and there are still a lot of civil servants who cannot afford weapons...

"Officials, please retreat from the palace tents of the Chinese army! If I let you take command here..."

Wang Shao also spoke. Although Di Qing was older than him, he was a civil servant and a member of the cabinet. He also had experience in commanding large armies in combat, so he had the ability to take over the command now.

"The officials, the retreat of the Chinese army's palace tents does not mean that the war is unfavorable. Have the officials ever mentioned the concept of a strategic retreat? At this time, it is necessary to retreat. I am willing to command here with Mr. Wang Ge...~"

Even Zhang Dun, the most adventurous person, felt that it was time for the officials to retreat.

The Song Dynasty did not dare to take this risk, and there was no need to take this risk.

Zhou Tong and Zhong Jianzhong are constantly sending troops to the Chinese army's palace tent, but they have been hit by the same intensity and cannot take care of this side at all. They also dare not mobilize too many troops to support... Once their subordinates are attacked

A breakthrough in Bei Liao will also lead to defeat, or a big defeat.

Although it looks dangerous, the defense line is still solid.

"Do you really think that it is necessary to withdraw the Chinese army? Or do you think that I can watch the soldiers fight and retreat on my own?"

"Stop talking! Once the Chinese defense line is breached, it means that the Song Dynasty will not be able to make any achievements in this war."

"So what if we retreat? Let go of the defense line and let Bei Liao go around the back. Even if we don't fight around the back, there is still the possibility of the Bei Liao cavalry entering the territory of the imperial court and poisoning the lives!"

"I am the Son of Heaven, and behind me are my people. If the king abandons his people, why should he let his soldiers fight to the death?"

"Don't mention the matter of the withdrawal of the Chinese army's palace tents again. At this time, whether the frontline command headquarters is normal or not is related to the entire war situation, so don't act rashly!"

It's really not the most dangerous time yet, but it's a bit chaotic. As long as we survive this period and survive this attack, Beiliao will never be able to organize such an attack.

Zhao Xi knew very well that this should be Beiliao's strongest charge.

The battle is still going on. After the crazy war horse is eliminated, the cavalry following behind, even if they regard death as home, cannot make the same life-and-death impact as the crazy war horse.

With such a buffer, the chariot soldiers stabilized a little.

However, at this time, the chariot soldiers discovered that they could not participate in the battle at all.

The extra cavalry had already been mixed up with the Northern Liao cavalry, and the gunpowder bombs could no longer work.

When gunpowder bombs are fired at this time, it will definitely be a bombing without distinguishing between friend and foe... the members of the cavalry will also be killed by gunpowder bombs.

"The official family...this..."

The defense line was organized again, and when the important ministers looked at the battlefield again, they were also shocked by the chaos on the battlefield.

The cavalry of the Song Dynasty and the Northern Liao Dynasty have been mixed together without distinguishing between ourselves and the enemy...

Alas...the advantage of firearms is gone at this moment.

Zhao Xi couldn't get angry, even though he didn't order the cavalry to break out of the defense line.

But Zhao Xi also knew that whether it was Zhou Tong or Zhong Jianzhong, the reason why all the Fanqiu and auxiliary Fanqi were allowed to cross the defense line to fight was to reduce the pressure on the Chinese palace tent and prevent the Northern Liao cavalry from breaking through the Chinese palace tent.

defense.

The cavalry was originally a containment force. It was supposed to coordinate operations with the chariots. It was originally intended to be used in the final pursuit. However, at this time, it was fighting with the Northern Liao cavalry, which also rendered the entire chariot unit useless.

At this time, the Chinese military palace tent became a mere spectator...~

"Order the musketeers to come out of the defense line and assist the cavalry in combat according to the coordinated combat method of infantry and cavalry!"

Fortunately, most of the cavalry are Dangxiang and Tubo people, and they are also cavalrymen who are quite familiar with war horses.

In the entire cavalry melee, at least the Song Dynasty had no obvious disadvantage.

At this time, as long as the musketeers attack, they don't need to kill many people. As long as they cool down and use black guns, it will inevitably cause the Bei Liao cavalry to be distracted, which will naturally have a positive effect on the extra cavalry.

"After leaving the defense line, bayonets should be loaded and arranged in five rows, and grenades should be sufficient to prevent the Northern Liao cavalry from attacking at any time."

"In addition, the Musketeers focus on support and adopt free-fire tactics..."

Zhao Xi believed that the well-trained musketeers knew how to fight such a battle.

After all, it is still not comparable to the firearms of later generations...

The musketeers are out of the defense line, but the chariot soldiers are still unable to play a role. They can only be on guard, watching the outside of the chariot defense, trying to get the opportunity to fire two shots...

Unfortunately, the cavalry's combat speed is too fast. They just spotted a small area with only Beiliao cavalry. Before they could take aim, the cavalry team had already rushed over...

It is even said that after the gunpowder bomb was fired, the cavalry was also injured...

"Let the chariot soldiers be on guard and don't fire any more gunpowder shells."

When the second gunpowder shell accidentally injured the cavalry, Zhao Xi gave the order directly.

"The official family is just a cavalry team, assisting the cavalry..."

"Wang Xiang, the cavalry team is now also in the battle order of the Song Dynasty. When the soldiers are fighting bravely to kill the enemy, they also need to guard against being accidentally injured by their own firearms..."

Zhao Xi understood what Wang Anshi meant. They were all Party members and Tubo people. If they died, they would die. As long as they could effectively kill the living forces of Bei Liao, it didn't matter how many more aliens died.

Zhao Xi doesn't think so.

Originally, he was not a foreigner or a foreigner. In Zhao Xi's eyes, they were all Chinese.

What's more, they are all military branches of the Song Dynasty now...~

Official orders must still be implemented. Wang Anshi was very unwilling, and even Zhang Dun felt that this was not necessary.

However, Wang Shao, Di Qing and others were obviously relieved after receiving the official order.

In fact, after regaining the Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, we still had to rely on these cavalry teams to fight against the nomadic peoples on the grasslands and defend the entire northern defense line of the Song Dynasty.

They were all reviewed and trained by the Martial Arts Hall. They were the backbone of the Song Dynasty's future cavalry. How could Zhao Xi be willing to waste it like this?

…

"Report...~Zhe Keke's troops defeated the defenses in the western part of Northern Liao, and the general's army marched towards the Chinese army. The vanguard, the cavalry, was already fifty miles away from the Chinese army's battlefield...~"

Finally, I endured it until the signs of encirclement and suppression appeared...~

Just waiting for this moment, as long as the two wings break through Beiliao's defense, the overall situation of this battle will be basically decided.

"Report...Wang Shunchen's troops defeated the defenses of the Northern Liao Dynasty and led a large army to surround the Chinese army. The vanguard cavalry was already fifty miles away from the Chinese army's battlefield..."

Okay! Both wings have been broken through. Presumably Beiliao has also received the news at this time, right?

In the originally solemn tent of the Zhongjun Palace, these two reports made the weather clear in an instant.

Wen Yanbo was not shy at all, and directly asked people to help him remove his armor... During the Beiliao attack, even he was wearing armor.

An old man in his eighties, dressed in armor, had to stand with the officials, which was indeed quite tiring.

"Fifty miles... It seems that the two wings can join forces with the Chinese army today. In other words, a certain degree of encirclement and suppression can be completed today."

"I'm afraid it's not that easy! Bei Liao will draw troops from the two wings and concentrate its superior forces on the central army. It will definitely consider the possibility of the defenses on the two wings being penetrated. In order to avoid being encircled and suppressed, Bei Liao will definitely intercept the two wings and join the central army."

"The two wings join the Chinese army. It is no longer a pure defense. It is difficult to maximize the advantages of chariots. In a cavalry battle, there is really no advantage."

"After two years of civil strife, you didn't expect Beiliao's war horses to still be so powerful?"

"The combat power is only temporary. After this battle, most of Beiliao's war horses will be useless. In the end, they will be able to pull rail carriages."

"It seems that Beiliao has made a desperate move..."

There were voices chatting about the war situation in the palace tent again, and everyone could really relax.

"With the order, the chariot troops of Wang Shunchen's and Zhe Ke's troops must keep a distance from the cavalry to encircle and suppress the Chinese army..."

"Only in this way can Bei Liao think that the two wings are just cavalry to support the Chinese army. The defense lines on both wings of Bei Liao did not collapse completely, but the cavalry broke out to support."

"Only in this way can Beiliao be determined to continue fighting instead of fleeing..."

When the war situation was discussed in the palace tent, Zhao Xi gave the order, but still postponed the military rendezvous order.

Once the officials explained their reasons, no one had any objections.
To be continued...
