"Quick! Close it quickly!" Zhao Tai's general Liu Dun shouted while pushing the cart.
Two Qi troops, one on the left and one on the right, pushed the vehicle and quickly closed it like two sliding doors.
After Subotai received the order, he led the cavalry and rushed forward at a gallop, trying to penetrate the gap opened by the heavy cavalry and pour into the coalition camp.
At that time, tens of thousands of cavalry will rush in, and the cavalry will rush left and right, which will definitely disrupt the enemy's army and cause the horses to trample the company camp.
The Mongolian cavalry galloped over, shouting loudly and strangely, but when they approached the gap, they suddenly saw two groups of enemy troops, one on the left and one on the right, pushing carts across the front.
The Mongolian cavalry in front could not slow down enough, and the horse hit the cart. The cavalry was thrown away by inertia, and its body drew an arc in the air and slammed into the camp.
"Kill!" The Qi army behind the cart immediately drew out their sabers and chopped the Mongolian army thrown in into pieces.
Seeing this, Subotai was shocked and reined in his horse. However, the Mongolian cavalry behind him did not slow down because he was not aware of the situation ahead.
For a moment, the Mongolian army in front pulled the reins violently and slowed down. The cavalry behind did not slow down and immediately bumped into the cavalry in front. The Mongolian cavalry immediately fell into chaos.
"Fire arrows!" Liu Dun, who was wearing heavy armor, immediately brandished his sword and roared.
The Qi army's divine arm bows and crossbows immediately aimed at the Mongolian army who was blocked from the cart.
The crossbowmen of the Qi army stood behind the cart, holding a large crossbow flatly. The sharp crossbow arrows were aimed at the unshielded Mongolian cavalry in front of the formation, and then fired a thousand arrows in unison.
"Swish, swish, swish" The crossbow arrows were hung with strong winds and brought up air waves, and the Mongolian cavalry crowded in front of the formation could not escape at all.
In an instant, the front of the formation was filled with the sound of arrows hitting flesh, the screams of Mongolian cavalry, and the neighing of war horses.
After one team of Qi army crossbowmen finished shooting, they immediately retreated to reload their arrows. The rear row of crossbowmen stepped forward alternately, aimed at the Mongolian army again, and quickly fired another arrow.
Now Zhao Tai's men and horses, after experiencing many wars, are no longer rookies on the battlefield.
After the soldiers of the Qi army fired an arrow, they immediately retreated in an orderly manner, then quickly stepped on the bow and pedal, struggled to pull the crossbow string, and inserted the arrow again.
Judging from the Qi army's tactical movements at this time, they rushed between the two cavalry and separated the Mongolian heavy cavalry from the light cavalry, and they were able to do so without panic or disorder.
Everyone is loyal to their duties, and they can be said to be an elite team.
After one team of the Qi army shot, another team shot again, and arrows were missed continuously. The Mongolian cavalry in front of the formation could not jump over the cart. They crowded in front of the formation and immediately became a target.
Seeing that his subordinates had suffered heavy losses, Subotai hurriedly ordered, "Retreat!"
The Mongolian cavalry in front of the formation heard the order, waved their swords to block the arrows, pulled their reins, and left the coalition camp in a hurry.
At this time, the Mongolian heavy cavalry that rushed in ran into the dense spear formation of the Song and Qi coalition forces.
The heavy cavalry collided with the spears, and the horses were stabbed to death. However, the inertia brought by the huge mass of the cavalry caused the Song army holding the spears to hit and fly backwards.
The Song Army's spear line was knocked backwards and dented, but it still blocked the cavalry.
With this blockage, the heavy cavalry entering the camp lost their speed. When the leading Mongolian general saw this, he was instantly horrified and led the cavalry to charge left and swing, trying to break through the obstruction.
However, in the camp, the heavy cavalry had limited space for movement. The Mongolian cavalry could not increase their speed at all, so they had no impact. They were forced back by the heavy infantry holding long spears one after another.
Looking upstairs, Zhao Tai saw this and immediately shouted: "Mr. Zhizhi, don't give them a chance. When the enemy cavalry loses speed, immediately wrap up on them, pull them off their horses, and destroy this heavy cavalry."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Kui immediately waved the command flag himself, "Wrap them up, knock them off their horses, and annihilate this enemy cavalry."
As soon as the order was given and the war drums beat, the heavy troops of the coalition troops in the camp surrounded them from all directions with their long guns drawn, compressing the space for the heavy cavalry to move.
Soon the heavy cavalry was compressed in one place. The long gunmen of the coalition forces stabbed the knights on their horses, knocked the cavalry off their horses, opened their armor, hacked them to death with axes, or smashed their bones to kill the Mongolian soldiers inside.
Outside the coalition camp, a horse was stationed at Wokuotai under the banner of the emperor. The corners of his mouth twitched, and his bulging eyes showed an expression of disbelief.
Wokuotai was experienced in battle formations. When he saw the cavalry led by Subotai being blocked and retreating in embarrassment, he knew that the heavy cavalry rushing into the camp was in danger.
"Wow, Ben Khan fell into the trap!" Wo Kuotai was instantly furious, "Zhao Tai, the traitor, knew that Ben Khan intended to mobilize the defenders in the camp to find flaws in the camp, so he deliberately sold Ben Khan a flaw to lure him to attack Camp. Thief, you are angry with me!"
Many Mongolian generals reacted instantly after hearing the words, and immediately realized that the heavy cavalry rushing in was in danger.
Raising a cavalry costs a lot, and raising a heavy cavalry requires an even more terrifying investment.
In their heyday, the Jin Kingdom and Xixia had only a few thousand heavy cavalry. Mongolia was powerful, but there were not many heavy cavalry.
The three thousand heavy cavalry that rushed in accounted for almost half of the Mongolian heavy cavalry. If all of them were included, it would not be easy for the Mongolian cavalry to deal with the infantry of Zhao Tai and the Song Dynasty in the future.
Wokuotai understood that he had been tricked out by Zhao Tai again, and he was anxious. He couldn't help but put his feet in the stirrups, his buttocks left the saddle, stood up on the horse, and looked at the coalition camp in the distance.
Sure enough, after the heavy cavalry rushed into the camp, the coalition forces did not appear to be in chaos as imagined. The heavy infantry of the coalition forces hidden in various parts of the camp surrounded the heavy cavalry with their spears and continued to compress the space for the heavy cavalry to move.
Compared with the infantry, the advantages of the cavalry lie in their mobility and impact power. Once these two advantages are lost, they will be vulnerable to the formation of the infantry.
The Mongolian cavalry entering the camp at this time was losing these two advantages under the squeeze of the coalition forces.
The coalition soldiers wrapped up and stabbed the Mongolian cavalry with spears, while those with axes and bone hammers chopped off the horse's legs, hammering the Mongolian soldiers off their horses.
Seeing this, Wokuotai reacted quickly. When he saw that the heavy cavalry was in danger of being encircled and annihilated, he immediately roared angrily, "Blow the horn to let the heavy cavalry break out. Order Subutai to turn around immediately and support the heavy cavalry to break through."
The horn sounded for the Mongolian central army, and Subutai, who was retreating in a hurry, heard the military order, gritted his teeth, pulled the reins of his horse, turned his horse's head, "Warriors, dismount and fight on foot, break through the enemy's army for me, and support the heavy cavalry to break through. "
Seeing that the heavy cavalry was trapped and in danger of being wiped out, the Mongolian army immediately sent troops to rescue them.
Facing the coalition camp, the Mongolian cavalry could not play its role. They could only dismount, hold shields and scimitars, and rush towards the coalition camp.
Although the Mongolian army was good at cavalry, the Mongols swept across the Eurasian continent and were also very brave in infantry combat.
Wokuotai gave an order, and nearly ten thousand Mongolian soldiers dismounted in unison, and then charged forward with shields and scimitars, followed by a large number of people with bows and arrows, running with bows and arrows, and throwing arrows into the camp. Lose and open the way for the warriors in front.
Liu Dun stood behind the cart and saw the Mongolians dismounting and rushing over. He immediately shouted in a hurry, "Fire the arrows!"
The crossbowmen behind the vehicle array fired continuously. The shields of the Mongolian soldiers holding their shields were pierced by crossbow arrows, and people kept falling to the ground. However, they did not stop charging. Instead, they howled and accelerated and ran.
"Peng" made loud noises again and again, and the Mongolian army suffered a lot of casualties. Finally, they rushed to the front of the vehicle formation, collided with the large vehicle, and tried to overturn the vehicle.
The soldiers of the Qi army stood on the cart and stabbed with their spears to prevent the Mongolian army from advancing. The two teams fought each other in close combat, with blunt weapons directly hitting their faces. The blood and flesh splattered from the suicide, and the situation changed.
At this time, the Mongolian army tried to rescue the heavy cavalry trapped in the camp and rushed in desperately, while the Qi soldiers blocked them and guarded the gap. The two armies roared like an angry wave and fought desperately.
On the battlefield, Zhao Tai's Liu Dun tribe was locked in the gap between the Mongolian heavy cavalry and the dismounted light cavalry.
In front of them were the Mongolian light cavalry who were fighting in. They charged forward with their swords and shields, and the archers were shooting from behind. Behind them were the dismounted Mongolian heavy cavalry.
After they lost their speed, they became targets for the coalition forces while riding on their horses. Many heavy horsemen dismounted and fought on foot, rushing towards the gap from the inside out.
The heavy cavalry were wearing heavy armor and were difficult to damage with swords. The Qi army picked up their bone hammers and swung their maces, which only caused their heads to bleed.
Liu Dun was the heavy infantry under Zhao Tai. Facing the frontal impact of the Mongolian light cavalry, the Qi army had the advantage of armor and stomach. The Mongolian cavalry, which dismounted and fought on foot, used scimitars and bows and arrows, making it difficult to harm the heavily armored troops. The Qi army.
The Mongolian army's heavy cavalry, wearing iron armor, was not inferior to the Qi army in terms of defense, but the weapons of these heavy cavalry were mainly lances.
This kind of weapon is very powerful when struck on horseback, but it cannot be used in a dense crowd when dismounted and on foot.
The Mongolian heavy cavalry did not have suitable weapons to defeat the Qi army's heavy armor, but the Qi army was equipped with iron bones, maces, battle axes and other blunt and sharp weapons, and they hammered the Mongolian soldiers wearing iron armor to death.
The battle lasted from morning to noon, with the Qi army firmly locked in the gap, while the coalition forces in the camp bravely moved forward to harvest the Mongolian army in the camp.
Although the Mongolian army commander Wo Kuotai mobilized his troops and attacked the coalition camp like crazy, he was unable to rescue the Mongolian heavy cavalry that was trapped in a tight siege.
At this time, as the last heavy cavalry fell, the coalition forces had cleared the Mongolian troops in the camp, and the Mongolian troops continued to fight outside, so it was meaningless to rush into the camp.
"Great Khan, the heavy cavalry is finished!" Yang Weizhong, under the banner of the Great Banner, persuaded: "Let the attacking soldiers withdraw!"
Wo Kuotai's eyes were red, his face was full of pain, and he was unwilling to accept it. But the facts were in front of him, and he could only accept the reality, gritted his teeth and said: "Withdraw troops!"
On the battlefield, the horn of the Mongolian retreat sounded, and the Mongolian troops who were besieging the coalition camp immediately retreated like a tide.
In the coalition camp, the Song-Qi coalition forces that had repelled the Mongolian army couldn't help but burst into cheers as they watched the Mongolian army abandon thousands of corpses.
"Victory!" The soldiers of the two armies raised their weapons and shouted excitedly.
The Song army was rarely able to win such a victory in foreign wars. When they saw that they had defeated the Mongolian army, they were very excited and felt that recovering the three capitals was not a dream.
Among the cheering crowd, the 10,000 Li Jun who followed Zhao Tai were particularly shocked.
They have lived under the coercion of the Mongolian army for a long time. After being forced by Zhao Tai to resist the Mongols, they have always been terrified and worried about the retaliation of the Mongolian army.
In their subconscious, they were very afraid of the Mongolian army and thought that it would be difficult for them to defeat the Mongolian army. However, they did not want to follow Zhao Tai and actually repelled the Mongolian army's attack.
Looking upstairs, Zhao Kui said excitedly: "Guorui, all the Mongolian heavy cavalry have been lost. Our chances of winning this battle have increased by one point!"
Zhao Tai smiled and said: "Mr. Zhizhi, I think after today's battle, the Mongolian army will probably not continue to attack our camp. They can't defeat us, and they are worried about Guanzhong and Nanyang being attacked. I think Wo Kuotai can only give up. Kaifeng, retreat to Luoyang and Guanzhong to set up defenses. We have won this battle!"
Zhao Kui and Quan Zi looked at each other after hearing this, with excited expressions in their eyes, "If this is the case, Bianjing can be restored, and we will achieve unparalleled achievements."
~~~~~~
The Mongolian army retreated to the camp, everyone was dejected, and the morale of the army suffered a great blow.
In the Mongolian army commander's tent, Wo Kuotai put his hat on his head and threw it to the ground, "Zhao Taina killed my three thousand cavalry, I and you are inseparable."
In today's battle, the Mongolian army lost 3,000 heavy cavalry, and thousands more men and horses were killed or wounded in the attack on the coalition camp.
In this morning, the number of people killed and injured by the Mongolian army was close to ten thousand, which was unacceptable to Ogedai and many Mongolian generals.
Yang Weizhong said in a deep voice: "This Zhao Tai is indeed cunning. He saw through the Great Khan's strategy, so he took advantage of it and showed weakness in advance to lure our troops into the camp. Then he set up an ambush and annihilated our troops who entered the camp."
Subotai gritted his teeth and said, "We have suffered such a heavy loss this time. What will we do next and how will we break his camp?"
Yang Weizhong said: "Zhao Tai is too cunning. His strategy today is actually very difficult for us to decipher."
Wo Kuotai frowned, "Why is it so difficult to crack?"
Yang Weizhong said: "Reporting to the Great Khan, if we want to break through the enemy's camp, we need to mobilize the enemy's troops to create flaws in the enemy's defense. Zhao Tai knows this very well. Next time we attack, Zhao Tai will definitely expose the flaws deliberately to lure Let’s rush to camp. Will we rush to camp then?”
Wo Guotai and others thought about Yang Weizhong's words with dark faces. After reading a book and understanding what he meant, Wo Guotai could not help but punch the Eucalyptus platform and cursed angrily: "This Zhao Tai is really hateful."
If the Mongolian army wants to break through the coalition camp, it must wait for a flaw in the coalition defense. After today's battle, the Mongolian army will not be able to judge whether the flaw in the coalition camp is a real flaw or Zhao Tai did it deliberately when he attacks next time.
At that time, the coalition camp will once again have flaws under the attack of the Mongolian army, and the Mongolian army will not dare to act rashly. In this way, the Mongolian army will not be able to break through the coalition camp.
Wanting to understand this, the Mongolians in the big tent were very angry, but they had no good solution.
Subotai frowned, "If this is the case, we have no way to defeat the enemy, so we won't continue to waste time with him here. After all, there are still two groups of Song armies, and they are currently marching towards Guanzhong and Nanyang. We have no troops in these two places." Whatever troops are deployed, we must return to defense as soon as possible!"
Many Mongolian generals were talking about it, and He Dan gritted his teeth and said: "We have fought against Kaifeng several times, are we going to return without success this time?"
