The Mongolian cavalry galloped towards them, but they did not frighten the armed guards who were pressing forward. Instead, they were forced to scatter to the two wings by the armed guards who were advancing like a wall with their spears.
They split into two groups, like two large winding snakes, galloped to the flanks of the armed guards, and then galloped towards them again.
At this time, the armed guards moved forward quickly. They were able to line up with their spears on the front, but it was difficult to maintain a tight formation on the sides.
There is no spear phalanx here, only a small number of sword and shield men to protect the flanks.
Seeing that there was no chance from the front, the Mongolian cavalry rushed to the flank, preparing to launch a thunderous strike.
Wuxian watched the Mongolian cavalry troops in the middle army split into two groups and attack with the force of Mount Tai. He looked resolute and ordered in a deep voice, "Keep moving forward!"
Knowing that the Mongolian cavalry was attacking from both sides, the infantry of the Guards could not help but speed up their pace, straighten their spears and charge towards the Mongolian formation.
Mongolia has the advantage of cavalry, but as long as they run into the Mongolian infantry formation and get mixed up with the Mongolian infantry, it will be difficult for the Mongolian cavalry to launch an attack.
At this time, the infantry of the Armed Guards raised their spears and moved forward quickly. The cavalry of the Armed Guards guarding the two wings directly met the superior Mongolian cavalry, hoping to block the Mongolian cavalry from charging the flanks of the Armed Guards.
The horses galloped in the wilderness, the cavalry of the two armies collided, the swords flew, the spears thrust, and the cavalry of the two armies fell off their horses as people howled and horses neighed.
There were many Mongolian cavalry, more than twice as many as the Guards cavalry. The Guards cavalry that came up to meet them were quickly dispersed by the Mongolian cavalry.
More than two thousand Mongolian cavalry on each side broke through the obstruction of the Guards cavalry, and without stopping at all, they crashed directly into the flanks of the Guards.
Because the large formation of the Armed Guards moved forward, the flanks could not form an effective defense. The Mongolian cavalry faced the sporadic rain of arrows and directly crashed into the flanks of the Armed Guards.
There was no formation of spearmen here, and there was no heavy infantry defense. The two Mongolian armies almost simultaneously broke into the formation of the armed guards rushing forward.
"Ignore them, keep moving forward!" Wu Xian saw the Mongolian army entering the formation, but ignored it at all. Like a lizard with its tail cut off, he continued to order the army to advance forward.
Under the banner of the Mongolian army, Kuoduan's brows were knitted into the character "Chuan". When he saw the Jin army charging up with their spears, he hurriedly roared, "Fire arrows, don't let the enemy troops get close."
In the Mongolian formation, the archers hurriedly fired arrows, and the overwhelming rain of arrows came, trying to prevent the armed guards from approaching.
However, the Mongolian bows and arrows had average armor-piercing capabilities and did not cause much damage to the heavily armored Guardsmen. The spearman straightened his spear and directly ran into the Mongolian army's infantry formation.
Now Kuoduan became anxious. Both sides of the Mongolian army's formation were filled with iron pagodas. The war horses kept knocking away the Mongolian infantry. Following closely behind the iron pagodas, the kidnapping horses that rushed into the formation were massacred. posture, constantly slashing and killing the Mongolian soldiers whose formation was disrupted by the Iron Buddha.
On the other side, Wuxian's armed guards collided. The spearmen in front were arranged tightly, and the dense spears were like hedgehogs, which instantly dented the Mongolian defense line.
Because the Mongolian infantry does not have many tasks to defend the cavalry, their main role is to siege cities and capture infantry formations. Since their opponents are mostly infantry and heavy infantry, they are equipped with relatively few spears, and most of them are short weapons, and Iron bone flower used to attack heavy infantry.
At this time, the two armies collided, one inch longer and one inch stronger. The Guards raised their spears and stabbed them fiercely, but the weapons of the Mongolian infantry could not reach the Guards, and the military formation was immediately dented by the spear array.
"Fight in!" Wu Xian roared loudly, commanding the spear array to charge forward.
Kuo Duan did not expect that the battle situation would suddenly deteriorate and his infantry formation began to be in crisis.
"Cavalry!" Kuo Duan couldn't help clenching his fists and looking at his two horse armies. At the critical moment, he had to rely on the Mongolian cavalry.
On his left wing, more than 4,000 Mongolian cavalry troops were outside the military formation. They watched the Jin Army cavalry entering the formation massacre the Mongolian infantry. They could not help but circle around while anxiously waiting for the Jin Army cavalry to come out.
On his right wing, on the contrary, nearly 5,000 Mongolian cavalry troops rushed into the rear formation of the Armed Guards and slaughtered the Armed Guards. Two thousand cavalry of the Armed Guards were circling on the outside waiting for them to come out of the formation.
In Shuanggou Town, Zhao Tai commanded the Huaixi Heavy Steps and pushed out the Mongolian troops who had entered the town. However, there were many new soldiers on his side, so he could only rely on fortifications to hold off the 15,000 Mongolian troops.
Zhao Tai stood high up, staring at the battlefield, with the same anxious look on his face as Kuo Duan.
At this time, the front of the battlefield was evenly matched. The Mongolian army could not attack Shuanggou Town, and Zhao Tai could not go out to defeat the 15,000 Mongolian troops attacking the town.
Both Zhao Tai and Kuo Duan realized that the key to the outcome of the war may lie in the situation on the left and right flanks of the Mongolian army.
Now Zhao Tai only has the last card left in his hand, which is that nearly a thousand Huaixi horse troops are still in the town.
He wanted to use this card several times, but he endured it.
At this time, on the left wing of the battlefield, Wanyan Chenglin led the Iron Buddha to smash through the Mongolian army and break through the formation. The Mongolian light cavalry circling around the outside saw the Iron Buddha coming out, and immediately grabbed the horse's belly and rushed forward waving the Iron Bone Flower.
Almost at the same time that Tiefu Tu came out of the formation, the Mongolian light cavalry on the right wing who were massacred in the rear of the Armed Guards also came out of the formation.
"Kill!" When the cavalry of the armed guards waiting outside the formation saw this, they roared and immediately charged forward on horseback with swords and spears.
The Mongolian light cavalry who had just come out looked up and saw the Guards Cavalry. They had no time to react and collided with the Guards Cavalry.
"Bang!" Ten thousand hooves trampled the ground, and the cavalry of the two armies collided fiercely. The two horses collided, the horses flew upside down, and the cavalry rolled.
On the battlefield, screams and shouts of death intertwined, and the cavalry fell in the impact. The battle was so cruel that it was maddening.
After the cavalry confrontation between the two armies, the wilderness was strewn with fallen corpses and wailing horses, which was shocking.
The two armies came out of the formation, and they quickly reorganized their formation before they had time to breathe.
The Mongolian light cavalry on the right ignored the obstruction of the Guards cavalry and launched another charge towards the Guards rear formation without hesitation.
Wanyan Chenglin led the Tiefutu and hurriedly changed direction. He raised his spear and roared, "Tiefutu, for Dajin! Charge!"
After finishing his words, he clamped his legs and led the heavy horse to crash into the Mongolian formation again.
Another two hours passed, and the battle raged from morning to noon, and from noon to sunset.
At dusk, the battle between the two armies was not over yet. Both sides were struggling to hold on and were fighting to the death in the wilderness.
The Mongolian army from the front still failed to invade the town, and the defenders were unable to defeat it.
Under the repeated ravages of Tiefutu, the left wing of the Mongolian army was on the verge of collapse, but Tiefutu had no strength, and he was left with more than a hundred riders.
The infantry of the Armed Guards on the right wing were strangled together with the Mongolian army. The cavalry of the two armies repeatedly clashed in the wilderness. The wilderness was full of fallen corpses.
At this time, the battlefield has become a river of blood and corpses are everywhere, but the fierce battle of life and death is still going on...
