Kuo Duan gave the order and took two more infantry troops.
Li Jun's infantry equipment was much worse than that of Song Army. Li Fen looked a little ugly when he saw Kuo Duan using his men and horses without mercy.
"Your Majesty, our army's equipment is not inferior to that of the Song Army. We will definitely not be able to compete with the infantry!" Li Fen couldn't help but question when he saw his infantry running into the Song Army's infantry formation, as if they were running into an iron wall. .
Kuo Duan glanced at Li Fen unhappily and said, "It doesn't matter if the infantry can't defeat him. As long as we draw out all the elite infantry of the Song Army, his archers and crossbowmen will lose their protection, and I'll make a surprise attack with my cavalry army. Why worry about winning!"
Although on the battlefield, the Mongolian infantry was at a disadvantage and was suppressed by the Song army's heavy steps, which were orderly offensive and defensive and indestructible. However, the more heavy steps the Song army put into the battlefield, the weaker the defense of the Song army's main formation would be.
In this way, Kuo Duan does not need to defeat the Song army with heavy steps. He only needs to wait for the Song army's main defense to be weakened, and he can launch a cavalry surprise attack.
On the battlefield, as the two armies increased their strength, the number of infantrymen killing each other in front of the formation reached more than 40,000.
On the vast battlefield, the infantry of the Song and Mongolian armies were like two incompatible torrents, violently colliding with each other.
The two soldiers used their bodies as walls and kept colliding with each other, making loud noises.
The soldiers fighting at the front first fought with long soldiers, then cut each other with short swords, and finally were squeezed by the soldiers in the back row and fought face to face with the enemy in a desperate fight.
On the battlefield, spears stabbed, swords flew, and the two armies fought until blood splattered everywhere, blood flowed into rivers, and the situation changed.
In the Song Army's formation, Zhao Fan stared at the battlefield where the sound of killing was loud. He was very clear about Kuo Duan's intention, which was to wait for a flaw in the Song Army's main formation.
Zhao Fan's goal was to eat the Mongolian infantry and force the broad cavalry to risk charging into the formation.
The Mongolian army did not have many infantry. When Kuo Duan took all the infantry and the Song army's main formation still showed no obvious flaws, Kuo Duan could only use cavalry to attack the Song army, otherwise all the Mongolian infantry would be destroyed.
The Song army did not have enough cavalry, so they could only use this method to force the Mongolian army to take the initiative to attack. Otherwise, no matter how tight the infantry formation was, if the Mongolian cavalry did not move forward, the infantry would not be able to hurt them even a hair.
Therefore, seeing the fierce fighting ahead, Zhao Fan did not hesitate and waved his hand again, "Infantry troops are coming again!"
In the Mongolian army formation, Kuo Duan saw Zhao Fan continue to invest his troops, his face gradually became ferocious, and he began to go crazy in his heart.
Because he found that Zhao Fan continued to invest infantry troops, and the Song Army's formation was still intact, but there were not many infantry troops on his side that could be put into the battlefield.
If this continues, the final result will most likely be that after all his infantry has been thrown, the main formation of the Song Army will not show any flaws.
By then, they would have no more troops to invest, and they would either watch the infantry be destroyed, or risk charging into the formation. After seeing the Song army's crossbows, Kuo Duan did not have enough chance of victory.
At this time, tens of thousands of infantry troops from the two armies were strangled together. The shouts of killing like an angry sea resounded in the sky on the battlefield. The two armies fought in darkness and blood boiled.
Under this situation, no one could stop. Kuoduan gritted his teeth and could only follow up, "Ten thousand more!"
Li Fen exclaimed: "Your Majesty, if we add ten thousand more, we will only have five thousand infantry left."
But there was no room for doubt in Kuo Duan's words, "If we don't press forward, the 20,000 infantry troops out in battle will be doomed! Listen to my command and press forward. When Zhang Rou crosses the river, the battlefield will turn around immediately."
…
When the battle on the south bank of the Huaihe River entered a fever pitch, densely packed Mongolian soldiers crowded at the ferry and river banks outside Lianshui City on the north bank of the Huaihe River, preparing to board ships and rafts.
At this time, the Mongolian general Zhang Rou was standing on the edge of the pier, staring at the Song Army warships cruising on the river. The general on the side was worried: "Marshal, if the army breaks through the Song Army navy, it will probably pay a heavy price."
Zhang Rou flapped her cheeks and said in a deep voice: "The Song army has a big boat, and our boat is small. We will not fight with them. They can't stop all the ferries. As long as some of us cross to the other side, we can assist the prince and defeat the Huainan Song army."
After hearing this, many Mongolian generals looked serious, knowing that they had to be prepared to pay huge casualties.
…
On the south bank, the Mongolian and Song armies had been fighting in the wilderness for two hours. The soldiers of the two armies fought from morning to noon, and the infantry were exhausted.
At this time, the Song Army's formation was still tight and there was no flaw, and the infantry of the two armies fighting in front of the formation were still fighting fiercely.
Zhao Fan stared at the battlefield. Opposite Kuo Duan only had 5,000 infantry and nearly 10,000 cavalry left.
"Report!" At this time, a team of scouts rushed over and rushed to the center of the Song army. "Report to the Prime Minister that the Mongolian troops on the other side are gathering on the bank and there are signs of crossing the river!"
Zhao Fan was shocked when he heard this. If the Mongolian army on the north bank crossed the river and Kuoduan received support, then his plan would not be realized.
"Send the order! Let the navy attack Lianshui. No matter how much it costs, I must drag the Mongolian army to the north bank. They must not be allowed to cross the river!" Zhao Fan immediately ordered.
The cavalry heard the words and galloped away immediately.
Zhao Fan looked at the battlefield and suddenly pulled out his sword, "Take an army from each side of the left and right wings and let me crush the Mongolian infantry!"
The Song Army's central army constantly mobilized infantry and then troops and horses, and the defense of the main formation would be affected.
The Mongolian army on the north bank showed signs of crossing the river, which made Zhao Fan a little uneasy, so he could only mobilize two wings of troops to quickly crush the Mongolian infantry.
As soon as the two wings of the Song army moved, the five thousand infantry of the Mongolian army could only press forward immediately. However, the disadvantage of the Mongolian infantry on the battlefield has become more and more obvious.
In the Mongolian army's formation, Kuoduan had already pressed all of Li Fen's 40,000 infantry, leaving less than 10,000 cavalry in hand.
Seeing that the Mongolian infantry began to be unable to withstand it, the Song infantry began to outflank the Mongolian infantry from both wings. The Mongolian generals under the banner were all anxious and restless.
Kuo Duan remained calm on the surface, but he was actually panicking in his heart, "Why hasn't Zhang Rou crossed the river yet?"
Now the troops used by the Song Army have reached their limit. As long as Zhang Rou crosses the river and appears in any direction of the Song Army's formation, there will be flaws in the Song Army's formation.
At that time, his ten thousand cavalry can break into the formation and massacre without restraint.
But why hasn’t Zhang Rou crossed the river yet?
While Kuo Duan was anxious, on the frontal battlefield, the Mongolian infantry had been fighting fiercely all morning. The front line was broken a little by the Song army, and the Mongolian infantry was in danger of being divided and surrounded.
"Your Majesty!" The changes on the battlefield shocked Li Fen and others to exclaim, "The infantry is about to be finished!"
Li Fen was frightened. Looking at his men and horses, he almost cried.
Kuo Duan looked up, the muscles at the corners of his mouth twitching. He couldn't wait for Zhang Rou to cross the river. He could only turn his eyes red, pulled out the scimitar with all his strength, and roared loudly: "Ma Jun, charge!"
