Chapter 676: The Showdown by the Yellow River

There were several corpses lying on the ground, including injured war horses.

The cavalry of the Song Army were all armored, but the war horses were not armored like Tiefu Tu.

Although the reaction speed of war horses is faster, the high-density harassment at this distance will inevitably be shot by the opponent's archers.

Once the horse is shot and the horse is injured to the extreme, the soldiers on top will fall off.

If you're lucky, you'll break your ribs; if you're unlucky, you'll fall to death on the spot.

Those who have not fallen to death will naturally be rescued, while those who have fallen to death on the spot will not be taken away immediately.

This confrontation puts great pressure on the infantry.

Moreover, the Song Army's cavalry was selected from elite archers before being incorporated into it.

After being incorporated, we began to train in riding, shooting and killing.

Coupled with the repeated charging and shooting by the Song Army, the mental pressure of the Zhejia Army infantry in this area was basically reached to the limit.

After this wave of bows and arrows were fired, the Song army once again braved the rain of arrows from the Zhejia army and launched a terrifying charge.

I saw mud splattering on the ground, and the strong and vigorous war horses once again charged in front of the Zhe family army.

The hands of the infantryman at the front were already sore, and the shield in his hand was a step too late. He was stabbed in the throat by the oncoming Song army's spear, and was lifted up with the huge impact.

The infantryman was a well-known elite in this area of ​​defense. His death dealt a heavy blow to the Zhejia army in an instant, which was already under great psychological pressure.

Before he had time to think, the Song army from behind also rushed forward.

The second Song army's horse was stabbed in the belly. The horse whined, tilted its body, and rushed forward, mowing down several Zhejia army soldiers.

The Song Army soldier above also fell to the ground and was thrown out by the huge inertia, killing him on the spot.

"Quick! Make up for it!" an infantry commander shouted loudly.

He was about to go up, but a soldier beside him turned around and ran away.

This soldier's cowardice immediately ignited the fear of other soldiers.

The defense collapsed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the resistance of the Song Army's cavalry that continued to come from behind suddenly decreased.

Then, like a sharp sword, it pierced into the rotten wood and splashed "sawdust".

When the defenses in this area were torn apart, the horn sounded.

The Song Army's cavalry, who were looking for a breakthrough point in other places, began to gather quickly and rushed towards this side crazily.

The sound of iron hoofbeats became more and more intensive. Looking down from a high altitude, the torrent of cavalry was racing wildly on the flat ground.

Then, a large number of cavalry poured in like a torrent of river water.

Originally, it was only a small gap that was torn open. As the Divine Guard Cavalry charged crazily, the gap expanded at a speed visible to the naked eye, just like a collapsed river embankment.

In the summer wind, countless screams disappeared in the collision of iron hoofs and swords.

Every frontal attack breaks countless families.

The war started due to the uneven demands of politicians from all sides. The poor paid for it and even sent their children.

Finally, the child loses his father.

But once the war starts, it will not be based on personal will.

The armed forces destroyed all obstacles.

The long defense line on the left flank of the Orijia Army was cut into countless pieces and began to collapse.

As more divine guard cavalry poured in, the soldiers who had barely held their ground began to run away uncontrollably.

The scolding of the officers and the swords of the supervising team could no longer stop them.

"Report! Commander Zhe, our left wing defense has been broken through by the Song Army's cavalry!"

"What!" Zhe Keqiu was shocked. "Where is the battle report of our cavalry?"

"Our two cavalry groups have not sent back any battle reports yet?"

Zhe Keqiu made a fatal mistake: his understanding of the Song Army's cavalry.

Because of the Song Army's cavalry, they carried out an efficient encirclement and reinforcements campaign against the Linzhou soldiers and horses, and the battle went very smoothly.

The absence of Linzhou soldiers and horses greatly eased the pressure on the Song army's rear.

Just think about it, when Wu Jie and Zhe Keqiu were fighting in a frontal position, what would it be like with 10,000 Linzhou soldiers and horses behind them?

Once Wu Jie is really surrounded by three armies, Wu Jie will not be able to fly away even if he gets a few wings.

Another misunderstanding about cavalry is that the strength displayed by the Song army when it broke through the flanks of the Zhe family army, although there is still a gap between the Jin Guaizima and the Jin Guaizima, has already given a satisfactory answer.

In fact, there is a more important point. The number of infantry armor of the Zhejia Army is smaller than that of the Song Army.

After all, it's still a matter of money.

Maybe if you give the Zhejia Army cavalry time, they can find the Song Army's breakthrough point.

But the Song Army did it first, and this is the fighter plane.

When the news reached Wu Jie, how could Wu Jie, who had been preparing for a long time, let go of this opportunity?

This is the moment he has been waiting for!

"Send the order to Yang Zheng, and the entire front army will attack!"

The messenger quickly conveyed Wu Jie's military order to the front army.

"Yang Jundu! Commander Wu has ordered the whole army to attack!"

The horns of the Song Army rose up and echoed in the sky.

In the wind, the military flags were flapping.

The front army began to move, forming neatly arranged phalanxes and advancing in an orderly manner.

The sound of uniform footsteps, mixed with the sound of horns, drums and the sound of fighting in the distance, revealed a fierce murderous aura.

"Long live the Song Dynasty!"

The forward battalion of the former army began to chant.

The high-pitched shouts immediately put the entire army into combat mode.

When He Zhongxing saw that the Song army suddenly began to advance, he ordered: "The crossbowmen are ready!"

As soon as he gave the order, the eight-oxen crossbows squatting between the Song army's formations let out roars, and arrows shot up from the ground in an instant, like black clouds rising into the sky, overwhelmingly pressing towards the Zhejia army.

The infantrymen of the Zhejia Army immediately raised their shields and hid their bodies behind them.

Arrows came like a rainstorm, impacting the shield and making people's wrists sore.

The first wave, the second wave, the third wave...

The terrifying rain of arrows streaked across the sky, bringing death.

When the Song Army invested in such terrifying weapons, the Zhejia Army also invested in such powerful crossbows. Although the number was not as large as that of the Song Army, it was still enough to act as a huge deterrent to the army.

In this way, arrows rained down on the armored infantry on both sides.

The distance between the two sides is also slowly getting closer.

The front army of the Zhejia Army was composed of heavy infantry in the front and archers and crossbowmen in the rear.

As the Song army's steel-like formations approached, the crossbowmen from both sides began to confront each other.

Sharp arrows shuttled densely across the battlefield.

The infantrymen of the forward battalion held up their shields and got closer and closer.

Finally the two sides collided.

In that scene, iron men collided with each other, making the sound of metal collision.

Everyone picked up hammers, axes, and maces and began to engage in the most brutal fierce battle.

But this fierce battle did not last long, because the left wing of the Zhejia army was broken by the Song army, and the flank of the front army was exposed to the iron hoof of the Song army.

A larger lightning strike took place.

The torrent of divine guard cavalry coming from the left wing roared on the vast battlefield.
