Kuo Duan saw the cavalry galloping from the east and thought they were Zhang Rou's troops.
After all, the Southern Song Dynasty lacked horses, and cavalry of thousands of people was extremely rare.
This must be Zhang Rou sending people and horses across the river from multiple river crossing points at the same time in order to avoid the obstruction of the Southern Song Dynasty navy.
In this way, if the Song navy blocked one place but could not block another, there would always be Mongolian troops who could cross the Huaihe River.
Li Fen and other generals were happy to see Kuoduan, and they were also happy in their hearts. The Southern Song Dynasty was rich. Huainan was less interesting than Jiangnan, but it was richer than any place occupied by Mongolia.
Thinking that after annihilating the main force of the army, Huainan would be at their fingertips, and they would get rich wealth. With their arms around the beauties from Jiangbei, everyone couldn't help but follow Kuo Duan, raising their heads and laughing wildly.
Everyone laughed for a while, and Li Fen looked at the cavalry team again and couldn't help but marveled, "Hey, why are they going into battle shirtless without even wearing any armor!"
Hearing this, Kuo Duan turned around and looked over. At this time, the cavalry team was getting closer. "Perhaps they were afraid of falling into the water when crossing the river, so they took off their armor!"
Everyone thought this was what happened, and turned their eyes to the battlefield to see with their own eyes the 100,000 Song troops collapsing in front of their eyes.
At this time, Li Fen, who felt something was wrong, glanced back again. It didn't matter. He was shocked when he saw it.
He saw the cavalry team, raising billowing yellow dust, running directly towards them!
"Hey! What do they want to do?" Li Fen exclaimed, "Why do they come to us?"
Kuo Duan looked back again and was stunned.
He took a closer look and saw a general in front of him, galloping on horseback, with his bow and arrow ready as he galloped.
At this time, Kuo Duan finally reacted, his face suddenly changed, and he exclaimed with horror: "No! The enemy cavalry is attacking!"
Everyone was instantly awakened from the joy of victory, and was so horrified that they felt like they had fallen into an ice cave.
The cavalry team was still far away from the Song formation, so they took out their bows and unstrung their bowstrings, and headed straight for them. They must be the enemy.
Because the bow string is stretched out, it requires a huge amount of force to maintain it. Generally, you aim and shoot after stretching the bow string. There is no reason to stretch the bow string when the target is so far away, and maintain the bow posture to charge. Then your arms will lose strength before you reach the enemy. .
Everyone looked at the approaching cavalry in horror, and their hearts were filled with doubts as to what kind of cavalry this was and how it could appear behind them.
"Whoosh!" Wu Xian rode in the lead and shot an arrow while running. The cavalry behind him also loosened their bow strings.
Kuo Duan and others quickly waved their swords to block, and Li Fen panicked and drew his horse, "Your Majesty, let's go quickly!"
Under the Mongolian banner, there were no soldiers for a long time, leaving only Kuoduan and hundreds of pro-army troops. Lao Zou took all the troops.
At this time, facing the sudden attack of cavalry, the Mongolian army was unable to resist. Kuoduan blocked the rain of arrows and pulled the reins of his horse, quickly avoiding the charge of reinforcements.
For a moment, Kuoduan fled in a panic. Before leaving, the soldiers did not forget to carry the flag.
Wu Xian rushed forward and killed the cavalry who had not had time to retreat and came to stop them. He roared angrily, "Brothers, follow me and kill!"
Yu Bi raised his sword high and led more than a thousand cavalry. They did not pursue the fleeing Kuo Duan, but rushed directly to the rear of the Li army's infantry on the front battlefield.
Why did you choose to attack Li Jun's infantry formation?
Two days ago, Wuxian and Zhao Tai arrived at the mouth of the Huaihe River by boat from Haizhou. They learned from the local outpost that the main forces of the Mongolian and Jin armies were confronting each other on the other side of Lianshui and were about to engage in a decisive battle.
Zhao Tai realized that his team could be used as a surprise soldier and might have an unexpected effect on the battle situation.
Therefore, Zhao Tai asked Wu Xian to lead the cavalry first, while he led the infantry in pursuit.
After Wu Xian came ashore, he led a thousand cavalrymen and galloped westward. In order to reduce the burden on the horses and because the weather was too hot, more than a thousand cavalrymen took off their armor and rushed westward.
After more than two hundred miles, both the men and the horses were relatively tired, and they would definitely not be able to catch up with Kuo Duan and his party on the horses.
Wu Xian had just arrived on the battlefield and was not familiar with the battlefield conditions. The enemy troops closest to him were Li Fen's infantry, and they all had their backs to him.
This posture was too tempting for the cavalry, with almost no defense, so Wu Xian immediately broke off and rushed directly towards Li Jun.
At this time, Li Jun, who was fighting, heard a strange noise behind him. Before he could react, Wu Xian led his cavalry and rushed into the enemy's formation.
The cavalry thrust their spears and slashed left and right with their sabers. Blood and flesh splattered in the Li army's formation. The formation that had just stood firm was instantly thrown into chaos.
Song Army Chongbu, who was fighting with Li Army, was originally worried about its own main formation, and its morale was low. Now countless soldiers saw a group of cavalry rushing to disperse the Mongolian army's center, and then rushed directly to Li Army's rear formation, slashing Li Jun with swords. , and then realized that it was our own reinforcements.
"Kill! Reinforcements are coming!" As the Song army marched forward, the officer raised his knife and shouted, venting his excitement.
"Kill!" The heavy infantrymen of the Song Army, seeing hope in despair, vented their excitement on the weapons in their hands, slashing at the Mongolian army on the opposite side like chicken blood.
At this time, Kuo Duan, Li Fen and others ran away. When they turned around, their eyes suddenly bulged in shock.
The Li Army, which was already weaker than the Song Army's infantry, was supported by one breath. Now it was attacked by Wu Xian's cavalry and the Song Army's heavy infantry, and it collapsed in an instant.
"Steady! Steady! Those who flee will die!" Kuo Duan couldn't help reining in his horse and yelled, but to no avail.
Li Jun's infantry, which had reached its limit long ago, only raised its morale and gritted its teeth because Zhang Rou's troops appeared behind the Song army.
Now, as soon as his back was attacked, and when he looked back, he could not find the Chinese army and the generals, his morale collapsed instantly.
In the main formation of the Song Army, under the banner of the Great Banner, Zhao Fan initially thought that Mongolia had arrived for reinforcements, and felt even more desperate, but then he saw the cavalry rushing directly towards the center of the Mongolian army.
This made Zhao Fan stunned for a moment before he reacted. He immediately waved his sword and roared, "Reinforcements are coming! Reorganize your formation quickly!"
Quan Zicai, who was locked in a bitter battle on both sides of the Song army's formation, was shocked and confused when he heard the Song soldiers on the battlefield cheering and conveying the news that "reinforcements are coming."
who is it? Quanzi had no idea which of the men and horses rushed to the battlefield.
However, now that reinforcements have arrived, the battlefield has turned around. The veteran slashed wildly with his sword and roared loudly, "Huaixi Erlang, follow me and kill!"
"Ms. sir! Reinforcements! Reinforcements!" On the other side, among the Yangzhou soldiers, Zhao Kui mounted his war horse and was ready to break out. However, the reins of the horse were suddenly held by his subordinates, pointing his finger in front of him, an excited reminder.
Zhao Kui looked up and saw a cavalry group appearing behind Li Jun's formation, which had completely disrupted Li Jun's infantry formation.
Once Li Jun was defeated, Song Jun's heavy troops could retreat and even wrap up the Mongolian cavalry entering the formation.
Zhao Kui perked up and immediately roared: "Reinforcements have arrived! Generals, listen to the order!"
"Here!" The generals of the Song Army, whose morale was greatly boosted, all clasped their fists.
Zhao Kui pulled out his sword and pointed at the Mongolian cavalry who were charging in the formation, "Wrap them up and don't let the Mongolian troops come out of the formation! Kill them!"
"Kill!" A thunderous roar rose into the sky on the battlefield with a radius of more than ten miles.
