Sawur arrived with his cavalry and attracted the attention of the Qi army.
At this time, Lu Wende looked at the gathered Mongolian cavalry and saw that the cavalry who had arrived first retreated to both sides to make way for a passage.
While Lu Wende and others were wondering, a group of nearly a thousand cavalry slowly came out of the passage.
Although it was relatively far away, Lu Wende and others could still clearly see the difference in this cavalry.
"It's a Tatar heavy cavalry!" Lu Wende swallowed, with a hint of fear in his eyes.
The Qi soldiers in the front row suddenly broke out in a cold sweat when they saw clearly the cavalry that appeared. Both men and horses were wearing armor.
For the Song Army, cavalry was a terrifying existence, let alone heavy cavalry.
For a time, many new Qi troops in the formation began to sweat on their palms, the soldiers began to look around, and the military formation began to stir uneasily.
"Straight bitch! What are you afraid of?" Wang Xiu spat on the ground and said to Lu Wende: "The key to this battle is to block the heavy Tatar cavalry. Let your people retreat and ask the Panshi camp to attack with heavy steps. in front of."
Lu Wende had just surrendered, and Wang Xiu had no confidence in his troops. The Qi army had fought against the Mongolian army several times, and had experienced various methods of the Mongolian army. It could resist the impact of the Mongolian heavy cavalry and have a greater chance of winning.
Lu Wende heard Wang Xiu's intention and felt that he looked down on his troops, so he couldn't help but clasped his fists and said: "Command, our soldiers will fight to the death and not retreat!"
Wang Xiu frowned slightly and pondered for a moment, "How did you deal with heavy cavalry before!"
Lu Wende said: "The Song Dynasty has few horses, and the Northern Army has more cavalry. The Iron Buddha of the Jin Kingdom and the Iron Kites of the Western Xia Dynasty are both heavy cavalry."
Wang Xiu nodded. Most of the opponents of the Song Army had heavy cavalry. Presumably, the methods used by Grandpa Yue to fight against the Iron Kites of Xixia and the Iron Buddha were passed down.
Lu Wende said: "To deal with heavy cavalry, ordinary bows and arrows are useless and difficult to break through the armor. We must use divine arm bows and crossbows, and then form an formation with spears and large shields, leaving enough depth to withstand the impact of heavy cavalry."
Wang Xiu heard this and said in a deep voice: "Okay! I'll hold the line for you from behind!"
Before he finished speaking, the Mongolian heavy cavalry started to move.
The Mongolian cavalry was not far from the beach and could rush to them in the blink of an eye. Wang Xiu immediately shouted: "Quick! Defend! Pay attention to protect the crossbowmen with heavy steps. No matter what, you must block the impact of the enemy cavalry!"
Lu Wende immediately raised his gun, "Brothers! Behind us is the Huaihe River. If we advance or retreat today, Grandpa Yue will protect us! Defend!"
The Qi soldiers in front of the formation swallowed their saliva, tightened their weapons, and formed a dense formation.
At this time, the frightening roar was getting closer and closer. Lu Wende saw the light cavalry retreating in both directions, and the heavy cavalry had already rushed to a distance of 500 steps.
Mongolia is not a single light cavalry, their heavy cavalry is no less than the Iron Buddha of the Jin Kingdom and the Iron Harrier of Xixia.
These cavalry were heavily armored, with only four calves exposed. The knights did not use Mongolian scimitars, but all long spears.
While they were running, they leveled their big guns and pointed the spear heads forward. The sharp spear heads and the impact of the horses running could tear apart all the enemies in front of them.
Seeing the cavalry getting closer and closer, the divine arm bowmen and step crossbowmen in the Qi army's formation had already raised their large crossbows and aimed at the charging enemy cavalry.
The pikemen in the front row looked panicked when they saw that the cavalry, all wearing heavy armor, had rushed towards them and pointed their sharp spearheads at them.
Facing the overwhelming Mongolian army's heavy cavalry, they moved their feet backwards unconsciously. When one person in the front line retreated, the people around them also retreated one after another.
Seeing this, Lu Wende roared angrily, "Coward, don't lose the face of the Huaixi people."
"Whoosh!" At this moment, the crossbowmen in the back row finally pulled the crossbow machine, and thousands of sharp arrows roared out.
The spearmen in the front row felt the strong wind blowing above their heads, and then they saw the locust-like crossbow arrows, as if they were thrown out, directly hitting the enemy group.
With such a dense crossbow arrows, the Qi army's spearmen breathed a sigh of relief. Just when they thought the oncoming cavalry would fall off their horses, the scene in front of them surprised them.
Such dense crossbow arrows were fired at them. The Mongolian cavalry were clearly hit by arrows, and some were even shot into hedgehogs. However, no one fell off their horses. Only a few horses fell forward after being hit by arrows, while the rest continued to charge forward.
Under the banner of the Mongolian army in the distance, Sawur sneered. When the Mongolian army fought with the Jin army, the Jin army lacked the extension bow and could not cause damage to the heavy cavalry.
In this expedition to the Song Dynasty, the Song army was good at infantry and had a large number of sophisticated equipment, which could pose a threat to heavy cavalry.
Therefore, the heavy cavalry of the Mongolian army were all fixed to their horses with ropes. Even if they were shot by the divine arm bow, they would not fall off their horses, and the horses would carry the bodies and continue charging.
The Qi army saw that the crossbows had no effect on the heavy cavalry of the Mongolian army, and the soldiers were instantly frightened. However, fear was useless at this time. The impact of shaking the earth and the mountains had already hit them.
"Protect Qianhu!" Seeing this, Lu Wenhuan quickly protected Lu Wende.
With a loud "Peng" sound, the Mongolian cavalry hit the Qi army's line, and immediately smashed open the general's line like a heavy hammer.
Lu Wende was pulled by Lu Wenhuan, and the Mongolian heavy cavalry directly hit the Qi army in front of the formation. The dock stepped on the fallen body and rushed past him.
Seeing this, Lu Wende stabbed out his spear, inserted it into the side of the cavalry, and picked it up hard, but found that it was not moving at all. Only then did he realize that the cavalry was tied to the horse.

The Mongolian cavalry crashed into the formation, and the Qi troops in the front row suffered heavy losses. The Qi troops in the back row stepped on the tail of the gun barrel and stabbed the gun head diagonally, but were still knocked back.
For a moment, the Qi army's formation was in chaos, and at this time Sawur had already drawn his scimitar and was preparing to attack.
The heavy cavalry came out of a chaotic formation, and the light cavalry or infantry immediately charged and entered the formation to harvest. This was one of the magic weapons for the Mongolian army to win.
In Sawu'er's eyes, he seemed to have seen the scene where Qingqi rushed in, took the opportunity to massacre, and drove Qi's army down the river.
At this time, he was about to give the order, but suddenly there was a "Peng" cannon sound behind him, the Chuzhou city gate opened, and thousands of Song Army infantry came out.
Sawur turned his head to look, and couldn't help but twitching the corner of his mouth, "How dare these barbarians leave the city! Team up, contain them."
A Mongolian general immediately saluted, then pulled the reins of his horse and rushed out with his horse. A thousand Mongolian cavalry followed closely behind and rushed towards the Song army in the distance.
Sawur turned his head and looked at the Qi army's formation. It had been knocked into chaos by cavalry, but it was impossible to defeat the Qi army with heavy cavalry alone.
The ground on the river beach is relatively soft, and the Qi army's infantry formation has sufficient depth. The subsequent cavalry must follow up, cooperate with the heavy cavalry, and expand the results to defeat the Qi army.
"Charge!" Without hesitation, Saul led the remaining cavalry and began to sweep over.
Lu Wende led his subordinates to resist desperately, picked up the fallen military flag from the ground, and raised it again for his subordinates to see.
At this time, Jue Dui could not retreat. Once he retreated, the seven thousand soldiers who came ashore would be driven down the Huaihe River and drowned.
Wang Xiu saw this in the rear formation and shouted: "Don't panic! The sword and ax hand will cut off the horse's legs!"
The Zhongyi Army fought many times with the Mongolian army in the field. Seeing the heavy cavalry of the Mongolian army disrupting the front line, the soldiers did not panic.
At this time, the heavy step of the Panshi camp held the battle ax with both hands and stared at the charging cavalry. However, he was surprised to find that the knight on the horse had a lance that was weakly drooping and was not aimed at him.
Qi Jun's heavy step did not care about doubts. At the moment when the heavy cavalry collided, he swung his ax away, and the waistcoat and horse's legs were directly cut off by the axe.
The war horse neighed violently and fell forward. Qi Jun took a closer look and found that the cavalry on the horse had multiple bloody holes and had been stabbed to death long ago.
At this time, Qi Jun reacted immediately, but before he had time to rejoice, the spear of the cavalry behind him pierced his body, pushing the body and hitting him backwards.
"Kill!" Wang Xiu held a sword in his hand and his voice was like a bell, "Serve the country with loyalty and righteousness! Fight to the death and never retreat!"
The heavy cavalry of the Panshi Battalion formed a dense formation to protect the Chinese army's banner and Wang Xiu, and began to use their bodies to withstand the impact of the heavy cavalry.
Lu Wende was in front, and the heavy cavalry of the Mongolian army killed him, which had already consumed part of his speed. The Panshi camp was behind, and was located close to the river.
The heavy cavalry broke through the blockade of the swordsmen and crashed into the Panshi camp, which was arrayed against the water. The line was dented, but was forced back.
Wang Xiu immediately ordered, "Two wings, wrap them up."
For a moment, the two wings of the Panshi Battalion rushed forward, encircling the Mongolian army's heavy cavalry and fighting.
At this time, Sawur rushed into Lu Wende's army who had no time to restore their formation through the hole opened by the heavy cavalry.
For a moment, the two armies fought fiercely on the narrow river beach. The sky was dark and the ground was dark, blood and flesh were flying everywhere, and the sound shook the sky~~~~
