The lights in Tokyo are still bright, and traffic is busy outside Donghua Gate.

Under the big locust tree, the children were still having a snowball fight.

The woman on the second floor was looking out the window in trance.

Under the big tree near the gate of the inner city, there were people wearing prison clothes and shackles, drinking and laughing.

But don't think that he is a criminal.

This is called "prison drinking" and was a peculiar habit of some high-ranking officials in the Song Dynasty.

If you don't drink alcohol at home, you must wear prison clothes and shackles to play.

There are also people who don’t light up the lights at night and insist on discrediting drinking. This is called “ghost drinking”.

If you give them a few whips and light candles at this time, I'm afraid the door to a new world will open.

On the boats on the banks of the Bian River, lights were also lit, and some people who had come to Tokyo to do business but could not return gathered together to drink and chat.

Tokyo tonight is peaceful, harmonious and pleasant.

People also seemed to be slowly downplaying the nervousness of the Jin army approaching the city.

The main reason is that there are sufficient food reserves in the city.

However, a few miles outside the city, there was a completely opposite scene.

After tearing through the Jin army's defense, the torrent of Song army's cavalry spread forward like mercury pouring down the ground.

The left wing of the Jin Army collapsed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The Jin army, which was pulling out of camp and arranging military supplies, was crushed by the Song army before they could form a formation.

The Song Army wielded iron bones, swords, axes, and maces. As soon as they touched the Jin Army's body, the huge impact could instantly break through the armor, even break the bones, and shatter the internal organs.

Looking down from a high altitude, it looks like a terrifying tsunami is rushing over.

In the age of cold weapons, an army that cannot form a formation has almost zero combat effectiveness and will be shattered in one attack.

At this time, the scout quickly reported the situation on the left wing to the Chinese army.

In fact, there was no need to report from the left wing. Wu Shu had already heard the loud shouts of the Song army, as well as the noise and fighting there.

He looked livid.

I am really worried about what will happen.

Wu Shu withdrew his troops very decisively and in an orderly manner, with infantry deployed for defense on the left wing.

But he did not expect that the Song army would attack so decisively.

As long as the Song army is delayed by a stick of incense (half an hour) to attack, they will inevitably encounter the Jin army that has already formed its formation.

At that time, if the Song army uses cavalry to attack the armored infantry, it will be equivalent to committing suicide.

However, this fleeting opportunity was seized by Zhao Ning.

At this time, there can be no hesitation.

Wu Shu was so angry that he wanted to scold his mother, but he had to face the situation calmly.

He began to mobilize his troops and generals, use kidnappers and horses to cut off the Song army's retreat, stick to the Song army, and then reorganize 500 iron pagodas to look for opportunities.

As long as he seizes the opportunity, he is confident that the cavalry horse can cut off the Song army, and with 500 iron pagodas, he can overthrow the Song army's cavalry.

This is also true. Tiefu Tu is so famous that the mounted cavalry is armored cavalry (heavy cavalry) and the dismounted cavalry is infantry.

It is definitely the "land tank" of this era. As long as the Iron Buddha Temple gathers more than 1,000 people and forms an impact wave, it can basically crush all the defenses on the opposite side in a battle on a normal plain.

Moreover, the Jin army has a characteristic: it is obstructive but not chaotic.

Especially for the cavalry, even if the attack in front is blocked, they will immediately disperse to both sides, and those behind will continue to attack.

In the era of cold weapons, when the general army is blocked from attack, there is a high probability that the military formation will be disorganized and the morale of the army will be chaotic.

Why?

Because when people are on the battlefield, most of the time their minds are blank.

This is affected by the battlefield environment.

Just like when you go to listen to a lecture by a successful master, they usually turn up the sound as high as possible.

Why?

Loud sounds can instantly expel thoughts from people's minds, making them unable to think normally.

Therefore, if you say that you run to the battlefield and think deeply about life while attacking, it is most likely nonsense, unless you are a complete Yue Fei or Huo Qubing.

Ordinary people cannot even control their own behavior rationally.

Only veterans who have been trained for many times, often go to the battlefield, and train repeatedly, can gain normal reaction capabilities on the battlefield and minimize the stress response caused by the battlefield.

Other than that, it's all about muscle memory and instinct.

Obviously, the Song Army at this moment does not possess such characteristics.

However, the elite Jin army, which has been on the battlefield for a long time, has this. This is one of the differences in the strength of the army.

And it is a gap that must be faced.

Wushu's iron pagoda began to wear armor, and the kidnapping horse also began to wear armor.

The Kaizi Horse also wears iron armor, but the armor of the Kaizi Horse is far less heavy than that of the Iron Buddha.

Kaizi horses are light cavalry or medium cavalry, fighting with their strong mobility and impact.

The Jin people applied light cavalry and medium cavalry to the limits of ancient Chinese cold weapons.

For example, Wanyan Loushi, known as the Jurchen God of War, used his kidnapping horse to sweep through most of China from Liaodong to the northwest. He was invincible and invincible along the way.

His tactics are so fierce and sharp that even Jin Wushu is defeated.

If we have to compare, the cavalry of the Jin Army in its peak period is against the Mongolian cavalry in its peak period. The Mongolian cavalry of the same size may not be the opponent of the Jin Army.

After the 3,000 kaizi horses were put on armor and the 500 iron pagodas were also armored, Wu Shu ordered Han Chang to lead Wanyan Zongmin to command the iron pagoda, and he also ordered Han Chang to lead the kaizi horses to quickly cut off the Song army's return route.

At this time, the Jin army that was attacked and dispersed on the left wing fled in the snow and spread to several miles in radius.

There are almost no obstacles for the Song army to attack.

However, Zhang Bofen had no intention of continuing the pursuit. After all, His Majesty the Emperor had orders to defeat some of the enemies and create panic in them. Don't be reluctant to fight.

The gap in field combat capabilities between the Song Army and the Jin Army is still very large. They have experienced hundreds of battles, and the Song Army experienced the battlefield baptism last year. This cannot be filled with enthusiasm.

Zhang Bofen began to blow the rallying horn.

The disintegration of the Jin army in front became larger and larger, and many people did not even want military supplies and turned around and ran away.

The left wing army was like a receding tide.

When the surrounding Song troops heard Zhang Bofen blowing the horn, they all took it out and started blowing the horn.

This was their agreed timely signal to retreat.

They were worried that the formation would be uncontrollable during an attack and some people would rush too far, so they agreed that as soon as they heard the horn sound, others would immediately start blowing the horn and then assemble.

A quarter of an hour after the horn sounded, most of the Song army regrouped.

There are still a small number of people who may have been so shocked that they could no longer control themselves. They got too high and never came back.

At this time, Zhang Bofen made a decisive decision and ordered to go back.

So, the Song army went back and killed the Jin army running behind.

At this time, Han Chang's kidnapping horses were approaching in a large scale.

When Han Chang arrived at the left wing, corpses were strewn on the ground and military supplies were in chaos.

There were still alive Jin soldiers in the snow, screaming miserably.

Some even had their legs cut off and were crawling in the snow.

And many people were trampled to bloody pulps in the snow.

The Jin army in the distance is still fleeing.
