In the Southern Song Dynasty, I competed with Mongolia for the world

Chapter 238 Feeling Uneasy

Around eleven o'clock in the morning on the [-]th, when the later generations are about to eat lunch.

Strict soldiers and horses slowly appeared several miles away from Baiyun Lake, first cavalry, and after a while, infantry.

Strict and long sharp-mouthed monkey cheeks, one looks like a cunning person.

Among his 8000 men, there are more than 1000 cavalry, and the rest are all infantry.

At this time, he was accompanied by a man named Li Jia, who was Shi Tianze's subordinate and the contact person of the Mongolian Army and Yan Shi.

The two rode forward side by side, slowly appearing behind Peng Yibin's soldiers and horses, and did not stop until they were less than two miles away from Peng Yibin's soldiers and horses.

"Today we must let Peng Yibin die without a place to bury him." Yan Shi laughed loudly, with no nostalgia in his heart.

Peng Yiwu attacked Dongping and spared him to kill him. Not only did Yan Shi not thank you, but he always wanted to return to Mongolia. The reason for this is that his subordinate Li Xin killed Yan Shi's wife Du Shi and his brother Yan Bin when he was out. , and descended to the Song Dynasty, so Yan Shi hated the Song people very much.

"This is Peng Yibin's army?" Li Jia's face suddenly changed slightly.

Yan Shi raised his eyes to look, and was also a little dazed.

Two miles away, one by one phalanxes were slowly moving, with thousands of people in each phalanx. Although the distance was a bit far, one could still see well-armored soldiers and a well-organized lineup, slowly moving towards Baiyun Lake.

Yan Shi couldn't help but rubbed his eyes, with an incredulous expression on his face.

He had fought Peng Yibin before, so of course he knew the virtues of Peng Yibin's soldiers and horses. When did he become so strict?

"I heard that in the past two years he has selected elites and trained soldiers and horses diligently." Yan Shi lost his voice slightly: "But where do you get so many soldiers?"

Li Jia's face was solemn, and he felt that if Peng Yibin's soldiers and horses were all like this, it would be difficult to fight.

Just when the two of them wanted to move closer and take a closer look, Peng Yibin's messengers ran over in front of them.

The messenger brought Peng Yibin's order to ask Yan Yan to stand by three hundred paces behind Peng Yibin's army. After hearing three cannon fires, he could step forward to assist, and if there was no cannon fire, he would stand still.

When Yan Shi's soldiers are about to advance, they should go from the far left side of Peng Yibin's army, so as not to hit Peng Yibin's army formation.

Yan Shi asked, are you going to fight?Isn't there still soldiers and horses that haven't arrived yet?

The soldiers said that Zhu Rong's East Route Army was less than [-] li away from the scene, and they would arrive soon, and they would block Zhang Rong's east. If Zhang Rong lost, he might lead his troops to run east.

Now there are Peng Yibin's soldiers and horses in the north and south, and Baiyun Lake in the west. If Zhang Rong loses, he can only run east.

Yan Shi and Li Jia looked at each other, secretly happy in their hearts, which meant that Peng Yibin would fight first without waiting for Zhu Rong's East Route Army to arrive.

The two hurried forward with their soldiers and got close to Peng Yibin's rear.

Li Jia asked halfway: "Didn't you say that you have many generals sent by Song Ting in your formation, is there any arrangement for you to do it later?"

Yan Shi smiled and said: "I left some soldiers and horses to guard the city, and I left all these people in Linqing. Don't worry, the army is all mine."

"Then Peng Yibin has to recruit my people to participate in some training camps every few months, and I will forcefully recruit people from the common people to deal with it."

Li Jia nodded: "That's very good."

As soon as the two of them finished speaking, there was a sudden drumbeat in front of them, followed by the sound of horns.

Peng Yibin's soldiers and horses began to speed up and press forward.

Li Jia and Yan Shi hurried forward, and when they were three hundred steps away from Peng Yibin's rear, they found a high place to look.

I saw the huge wilderness ahead, with Baiyun Lake on the left and Zhangqiu City on the right.

They couldn't see Zhang Rong's soldiers and horses, because the front was full of Peng Yibin's men, and each phalanx formed a huge rectangle, pressing towards the middle of Baiyun Lake and Zhangqiu City.

Zhang Rong's people should be between Baiyunhu and Zhangqiu City.

"It's a fight, it's a fight." Yan Shi said excitedly.

Li Jia, on the other hand, had a serious face. He kept watching Peng Yibin's soldiers and horses moving. He felt that these soldiers and horses were unprecedented.

In his heart, there was a faint feeling of uneasiness.

Zhang Rong also felt the same way as him.

At this time, Zhang Rong had already led his troops out of the city to fight in the field according to Shi Tianlu's request.

More than 1 people lined up between Baiyun Lake and Zhangqiu City in two waves.

In this way, his soldiers and horses only need to defend the north and south sides.

The main force of Peng Yibin from the south arrived first.

When Zhang Rong saw it, he gasped.

When I met Peng Yibin soldiers and horses two years ago, I didn't see so many infantry.

I saw that almost all of Peng Yibin's soldiers and horses were armored, at least one tenth of them were infantry armor.

The key is that when the opponent moves, the formation is strict, and more than 2 people look like a whole.

Zhang Rong has fought with major forces in Shandong for several years, and has never seen such a strict formation.

"Damn it, Peng Yibin's soldiers and horses have been trained to this level?" Zhang Bing immediately exclaimed.

Many generals behind him showed surprise on their faces.

This looks like an elite player, not easy to fight.

Seeing the expressions of the generals, Zhang Rong gritted his teeth and said, "His soldiers and horses haven't fought for more than two years. I think it's silver guns and candle stubs. They look useless and frighten people."

"Command, prepare to meet the enemy."

There was a lot of scolding all around, all scolding Peng Yibin for being useless in the army.

Zhang Bing whispered, "When will the Mongols arrive?"

"Why panic? With Yan Shi helping us, Peng Yibin will definitely die." Zhang Rong said in a deep voice.

Zhang Bing raised his head and saw from a distance that there seemed to be a wave of troops behind Peng Yibin not far away, but he could not see clearly.

Yan Shi can sneak attack Peng Yibin from behind, and with the Mongols, this battle will surely win.

"Destroy Peng Yibin." Zhang Bing raised his arms and shouted.

"Destroy Peng Yibin." The crowd roared wildly.

"Woo" a long horn sounded.

Tian Shirong's soldiers and horses also appeared in the north, and Peng Yibin's soldiers and horses walked faster and faster.

Tian Shirong was also from the Red Coat Army. He had been with many people, including Li Quan, but he had a good relationship with Peng Yibin. After Li Quan died, Tian Shirong completely fell to Peng Yibin. In history, Li Quan wanted to surrender to Mongolia. agreed.

Now that he has been with the court for several years, the court treats him well, and Tian Shirong also wholeheartedly follows Song Ting.

Just when he was about to attack Zhang Rong's north, suddenly a messenger came.

"There are orders from all commanders and envoys. You should reserve all your strength. Don't use all your troops. At least half of your troops should be reserved, just in case."

Peng Yibin's sentry cavalry moved out everywhere, and he was also guarding against the other enemy troops around them. They had enough soldiers and horses to deal with Zhang Rong in the south, so it was good to let Tian Shirong block the north, and keep a reserve team just in case.

Tian Shirong immediately responded, and immediately ordered to dispatch an army of [-] soldiers and horses to move forward slowly, and another [-] soldiers and horses to serve as a reserve team behind.

In the south, Peng Yibin is nervously watching.

He had two battalions of vehicles and fifty guns in his formation, but they were surrounded by densely packed troops, neither Zhang Rong in the front nor Yan Shi in the back.

Peng Yibin was mainly afraid of the sudden appearance of the Mongols.

He was not so rigorous in fighting wars before. How should I put it? After all, he was born with mud legs and had never learned the art of war. In history, when he led troops to the Northern Expedition, he did not send any sentry cavalry at all. Yan Shi's two-sided attack was destroyed.

After seeing the emperor, and the emperor personally trained his soldiers and horses, he now pays great attention to the use of sentries and sentries.

For such an important battle like today, Peng Yibin also sent sentry cavalry around, as far as [-] miles away, to prevent other soldiers and horses from suddenly intervening and affecting the battle.

But I don't know if it's because the sentry cavalry is far away, or for some reason, from early morning to now, fewer and fewer sentry cavalry came back, which made Peng Yibin feel uneasy.

But at this time, the soldiers and horses of the two sides are approaching, and it is useless to think about it.

Peng Yibin took a deep breath, looked at his brothers in front of him, and suddenly felt proud. Now that I, Peng Yibin, have such an elite army, what are we afraid of?
Come and fight.

"Drumming!" Peng Yibin waved vigorously.

Boom, boom, the drums on Song Jun's side were loud, and the queue speeded up.

The two sides quickly approached on foot and cavalry.

At this time, the equipment gap is obvious.

Most of Zhang Rong's soldiers and horses had no armor or little armor. The front row was full of spearmen and sword and shield soldiers, and there were a small number of crossbowmen in the middle and rear rows.

The Song army had six rows of pikemen in front, infantry archers in the back, bow shieldmen and a small number of crossbowmen in the back, and god arm bows in the back, with two thousand cavalry on each side.

When Peng Yibin defected to Song Ting, he had thousands of cavalry. Now the whole army has nearly [-] cavalry, and his main force has [-].

Almost everyone in the Song army wore armor, and one-tenth of them had infantry armor.

With the sound of armor, the dark Song army approached Zhang Rong's soldiers and horses by 150 steps.

"Stop." There was a sudden shout in the army, and the Song army stopped at the same time.

The whole scene suddenly stopped, and the team was neat and uniform.

Zhang Rong and the others on the opposite side were stunned and couldn't believe it.

"Bow." Someone in front of the Song army was shaking and shouting.

The archers in the front row changed their formation one after another, squeezing forward to narrow the space.

The god arm bow in the back row took a few steps forward.

Zhang Rong and the others didn't know what happened and felt strange.

at this time.

"Crackling!" There was a sound like firecrackers in the air.

Hum, the sky darkened slightly, and a wave of arrows rained through the sky.

"Hold the grass." Zhang Rong cursed one after another: "Hold up the shield, raise the shield."

Song Jun shot first with the bow of the divine arm when he was more than 100 steps away.

Zhang Bing was even more inconceivable, startled and frightened.

Because there were very few god-arm bows in Shandong in the past, even if anyone had one, it would break after a while.

There were none in Peng Yibin's army before.

But I haven't dealt with them in the past two years, and I didn't expect that there would be so many magic arm bows in the opponent's army.

This is a long-range dimensionality reduction strike.

Zhang Rong's more than 1 people lined up in a dense formation waiting to start the battle. Unexpectedly, the Song army could not go halfway, so they just took their bows and shot.

Dangdang, the scene was full of the sound of arrows falling into the formation, some were blocked by shields, and some shot directly into the crowd.

Ah, immediately Zhang Rong screamed incessantly.

"Om..." There was another buzz in the air, and the second wave of divine arm bows shot over again.

Song Jun still stood still.

Zhang Rong screamed again and again, and many people in the front row started to retreat.

Song Jun shot more than 100 steps, most of which were in the front row.

Everyone was afraid of being shot, so they retreated one after another.

The crowd suddenly panicked, Zhang Rong had no choice but to be beaten all the time.

"Drumming"

Dong dong dong, Zhang Rong's entire army also stepped forward to the beat of the drums, preparing to fight the Song army hand-to-hand.
