At noon, the soldiers took out dry food and settled it on the spot.

Whether it's pooping or peeing, it can basically be solved on the spot.

After all, we are at war, and the military formation is there and we cannot leave it casually.

What will happen if you leave?

Once the opponent discovers that a piece of your military formation is missing, they will immediately launch an attack on the gap.

It's very possible that if you leave temporarily to take a shit and come back, the whole army will be defeated.

Fortunately, it is not too hot in early summer in Baode, and the wind blowing from the south is quite comfortable.

Moreover, everyone in the Song Army was in good spirits.

Wu Jie led the troops and paid more attention to the mental health of the soldiers.

The military often holds some entertainment activities, and the atmosphere is usually relatively relaxed.

This method can give soldiers a sense of belonging and enhance cohesion.

The mental outlook will naturally be different.

"Report! Commander Wu, enemy cavalry has been found on the left wing. There are thousands of them."

Thousands of riders may be more than two thousand riders.

In ancient military investigations, it was impossible to be precise about how many people there were, and most of them were estimates.

Once the number of cavalry exceeds a thousand, they can form a terrifying force when charging.

Under normal circumstances, even a mad pig weighing several hundred kilograms can knock someone down if it attacks.

Not to mention the thousand-pound, agile war horses, as well as well-trained warriors armed with spears, bows and arrows and other weapons.

However, under normal circumstances, the cavalry team will not charge in a wall style, but will look for the opponent's weaknesses on the flanks and repeatedly make breakthroughs at multiple points.

The consumption power of cavalry is longer than that of infantry, so cavalry can repeatedly interfere until the infantry defense becomes loose due to the infantry standing still for a long time, and then charge in to interrupt the flanking formation.

At this time, there will still be no large-scale charge. Instead, we will wait for the flanks to collapse and prepare to attack the main force of the Chinese army.

"Report! Commander Wu, enemy cavalry has been found on the right wing, there are thousands of them!"

"Zhe Keqiu is worried that our army will dig many trenches and weaken the role of his cavalry, so he rushes to fight!" Wu Jie said, "Of course, I would do the same thing if I were him. After all, if we attack the enemy from three directions, if

If you don't take action, the enemy may react and use the golden cicada to escape."

Wei Xiang listened with his ears pricked up.

Wei Xiang had listened to Yue Fei's lectures, and he found that Yue Fei and Wu Jie had very different styles.

Yue Fei said many times that at critical moments, the coach's personal appearance can boost morale and play a role in defeating the enemy.

But Wu Jie, who has a body as soft as a scholar, will not mention it when he goes into battle in person.

On the contrary, he managed the army in an orderly manner, and he was very proficient in analyzing and controlling the situation on the battlefield. He did not need to go into battle in person, and many things were already clear to him.

No wonder Yang Zheng, a notoriously arrogant soldier, would obey him.

"Commander Wu, the enemy cavalry is frequently attacking us now. What should we do?" Wei Xiang asked.

"Don't we also have cavalry?" Wu Jie said, "Give me the order to have a thousand cavalry on the left and right wings and go out to fight!"

"Take your orders!"

"By the way, tell Guo Hao to come back to me as soon as possible. I want to annihilate the main force of the Zhe family army in one battle. I can only hope to capture Zhe alive!"

"yes!"

The left and right cavalry of the Song Army also took action.

During the Jingkang period, the first generation of cavalry of the Song Army was the cavalry of the Japanese army and made great contributions in the Battle of Shangdang.

However, there were never mature tactics. It was not until Yue Fei formed the Shenwu Cavalry that the Song Army's cavalry tactics took shape.

It can be said that the current cavalry tactics in various military formations of the Song Army were derived from Yue Fei's divine cavalry.

The characteristics of the Shenwu Cavalry were actually tempered by Yue Fei based on the characteristics of the Kaizi Horse.

The biggest characteristics of the Kaizi Horse Cavalry:

One, fast.

Second, the organization is highly mobile.

Three, strong endurance.

In the afternoon, Zhe Keqiu suddenly received a piece of news that surprised him: "Report! Commander Zhe, the Song Army cavalry has been discovered!"

"How many troops?"

"More than a thousand riders, left and right wings have discovered it!"

"Wu Jie actually has cavalry!" Zhe Keqiu was shocked.

Wang Zheng said: "More than a thousand riders are not that many!"

"No, you only found these, it doesn't mean Song Jun only has these!" Zhe Kezhi said with a frown.

He always felt something was wrong.

Regarding the cavalry, the Song Army has not revealed anything these days.

The most important judgment is that Oritake returned safely after his forward battalion was defeated.

"Zhe Wu was really not pursued by the Song army's cavalry at that time?" Zhe Keqiu asked.

"According to the intelligence coming from Baode City, there is indeed no such thing. After the Song army defeated the forward, they stopped pursuing it."

Zhe Keqiu's expression gradually became serious: "The Song Army clearly had cavalry, but they actually let the enemy go when they had the opportunity to pursue them!"

Wang Zheng seemed to have come to his senses: "What Zhe Shuai means is that Wu Jie deliberately released Zhe Wu, causing us to have a cognitive bias in inferring the strength of the Song Army?"

"This possibility cannot be ruled out!"

"Even so, it cannot change the current passive situation of the Song Army." Wang Zheng said.

But no matter what, Wang Zheng also felt the terror of Wu Jie opposite him.

Zhe Keqiu seemed to have thought of something. He said, "What if the Song Army has more cavalry?"

"What does Zheshuai mean?"

"Is there any news about Linzhou's soldiers and horses now?" Zhe Keqiu suddenly became irritable. When he learned that the Song Army had a large-scale cavalry regiment, an ominous premonition arose in his heart.

Wang Zheng said: "Commander Zhe is worried that the Song army will use cavalry to surround the point for reinforcements?"

"If I were Wu Jie! I would definitely be like this!" Zhe Keqiu almost roared, his eyes seemed to be spitting out fire.

The bad premonition became stronger and stronger.

"Send the order to the left and right cavalry! We must defeat the Song army's defense today! This is an order!" Zhe Keqiu suddenly shouted.

The possible drastic changes in the situation made Zhe Keqiu feel that a crisis was coming.

From this point, we can actually see that Zhe Keqiu can be regarded as an excellent commander. He can deduce many things in a short period of time and make decisions on the spot.

"Zheshuai, please be patient and don't be impatient!"

"you shut up!"

"Yes!" The messenger received the military order from Zhe Keqiu and immediately sent it to the front.

At this time, the cavalry of the Zhejia Army was already confronting the left and right wings of the Song Army.

The cavalry attacking on the right wing extended the attack range and quickly found the Song army's weaknesses.

But Zhe Keqiu obviously underestimated the number of infantry soldiers in the Song army.

The defense composed of infantry and armor was difficult for even the cavalry to break through quickly, let alone the cavalry of the Zhe family army.

The cavalry of the Zhejia Army tried many times, but were blocked every time. They could only turn back and attack again.

The main armies and forward battalions of both sides still maintained their military formations, and the cavalry of both sides took action.

The cavalry of the 1st and 2nd battalions of the 1st Army of the Divine Guards attacked the left wing of the Zhejia Army.

After a preliminary test without falling into a horse trap, the cavalrymen of the 1st and 2nd Battalions quickly made a high-mobility breakthrough attempt.

The gap can be seen from the mobility performance of the cavalry on both sides. The Song army's cavalry is stronger in organization.

If the first breakthrough fails, they immediately turn around and gather together, and then use a quick and flexible method to avoid the bows and arrows of the Zhe family army and intensively search for a breakthrough point.

The super high mobility and super endurance are fully reflected.

Just after the end of the afternoon (three o'clock), a moment before midnight, the cavalry of the First Battalion and the Second Capital suddenly rushed madly towards the Zhejia Army formation in front.
