Chapter 459

Wu Lianghetai's body was stabbed by several spears. He looked at the spear inserted into his body in disbelief. The entire battlefield seemed to be quiet at this moment.

When the Qi soldiers pulled out their spears, Wu Lianghetai's body fell heavily to the ground. Everyone on the battlefield still couldn't believe the scene before them.

Nearly 10,000 elite horse troops, in less than half an hour, poured into the Qi army formation as if they were waiting in line to be killed.

On both sides of the passage between the various formations of the Qi army, the soldiers of the Qi army were like workers on an assembly line, mechanically shooting arrows and stabbing spears to drive away the Mongolian troops who entered the formation.

Nearly ten thousand cavalrymen were turned into layers of corpses. The Mongols couldn't believe it, and even the Qi army officers themselves were doubting whether this was true.

When the Mongolian army reacted and blew the retreat horn, nearly 10,000 Mongolian cavalry fell into the Qi army's formation, except for a few hundred who did not join the formation and a few dozen who managed to escape by chance.

At this time, the roar of the galloping horses and their hooves trampling the ground, and the shouts of killing from the two soldiers all disappeared, leaving only the screams of the horses, the screams of the surviving Mongolian soldiers, and the breathing of the Qi army generals.

After a moment, the silence was broken. The soldiers in the Qi army formation, facing the corpses of men and horses on the ground, suddenly burst into loud cheers, "Victory!"

Looking upstairs, Zhao Fan was so excited that he had nowhere to vent. He stepped forward to hold Zhao Tai's hand and shook it vigorously, "Your Highness! It's incredible, incredible!"

When Mongolia faced the Song army, it mainly relied on the horse army. In the attack just now, nearly 10,000 horse soldiers were almost completely destroyed. It can be said that the battle situation has been basically locked.

This battle was something the Song army could not afford to lose.

Therefore, when Zhao Tai proposed a decisive battle and issued the strongest message to annihilate Kublai Khan, although Zhao Fan and others agreed, they were actually uneasy in their hearts.

"Ms. Zhao! Now is not the time to celebrate!" Zhao Tai was also very excited in his heart, but he pretended to be calm on his face.

Zhao Fan nodded repeatedly. Now Zhao Tai said whatever he said, and he was completely convinced.

There was King Linyi in the Song Dynasty. Wherever the barbarians could not be destroyed, the Song Dynasty would not flourish.

At this time on the battlefield, the loyal army achieved brilliant results, and the remaining Mongolian cavalry retreated hastily.

Zhao Tai would not give Kublai Khan a chance, so he immediately waved his hand, "Send the order! The loyal army continues to advance!"

Zhao Tai gave an order and the war drums beat rapidly. The sound of "dong dong dong" shocked people's souls and woke up the soldiers of Qi who were immersed in joy.

Soldiers from all sides of the Loyalty Army did not have time to collect their horses, so they continued to move forward, chasing the remaining Mongolian soldiers and rushing towards the Mongolian army's formation.

At this time, Kublai Khan had been helped up by his subordinates. Before everyone could say a few words of comfort, they heard the war drums of the Qi army.

The loss of such a large number of cavalry in such a short period of time dealt a very heavy blow to Kublai Khan's soul. However, he had no time to be sad or angry at this time, so he had to deal with the overwhelming loyalist army.

Kublai Khan climbed back on his horse in a state of embarrassment. When he saw the Qi army approaching, he couldn't calm down.

If the Qi army were to press forward and get entangled with the Mongolian army, he would definitely be defeated, and even withdrawing would be a problem.

At this time, facing the pressing Qi army, Kublai Khan tried to calm himself down and quickly thought about how to deal with it.

It was a bad start at this time and nearly 10,000 cavalry were lost...

Although the Mongolian army still had the advantage of cavalry, Kublai Khan did not dare to use cavalry anymore.

After all, he still hadn't figured out why the 10,000 cavalry led by Wu Liang Hetai suffered such a disastrous defeat after entering the Qi army's infantry formation.

At this time, the two cavalry units sent earlier had withdrawn, and there were still nearly 10,000 cavalrymen in the Mongolian formation. The Mongolian formation still had 20,000 horse troops and 30,000 infantry troops.

Cavalry cannot be used, and Kublai Khan can only use infantry.

At this time, Kublai Khan had nothing to worry about and could only block the Qi army first.

"The infantry go forward and let me intercept them!" Kublai roared angrily and ordered the infantry to attack.

The Qi army watched upstairs. The victory just now had allowed Zhao Tai to control the rhythm of the battlefield and take the initiative.

As soon as the Mongolian infantry moved, Zhao Tai looked happy and said, "Kublai Khan does not dare to use the cavalry anymore."

If the Mongolian cavalry did not go out to fight and sent infantry to attack, then Zhao Tai would naturally be less afraid.

"Bang the drums to cheer!" Zhao Tai couldn't help but raise his arms and pump his fists.

The Mongolian cavalry is powerful, but the level of the infantry can only be said to be average.

Although they were large in number, their equipment and fighting will were weaker than those of the Qi army.

At this time, facing the pressing Qi army, the Mongolian infantry reluctantly marched out of the formation under the orders of the officers.

They walked forward for half a mile and then stopped. With swords and shields in front, spears thrusting, and bows and arrows behind, they formed a line to block the Qi army's advance.

Obviously, the failure of the cavalry made the Mongolian infantry lose confidence and no longer have the confidence to defeat the Zhongyi Army.

At this time, the Qi army was advancing. The heavy infantry picked up speed and moved to the front. The divine arm archers walked behind, turning the hollow formation into a horizontal formation.

"Kill!" As they approached the Mongolian infantry formation, the Qi army generals roared one after another. The Qi army, which was slowly advancing, immediately started running with howls.

The Qi army had just defeated tens of thousands of cavalry and its morale was high, while the Mongolian army was demoralized after seeing the cavalry's disastrous defeat.

There were loud noises, and when the running Qi army stepped forward and braved arrows, they bumped into the Mongolian army's infantry formation, and immediately caused the Mongolian army to retreat.

Kublai Khan's face turned pale when he saw this, and he quickly sent the real Mongols to supervise the battle, so that the Mongolian infantry was not overwhelmed.

Although the morale of the Qi army was high, the Mongolian army that blocked the attack had an advantage in strength. After the Qi army pushed the Mongolian army back more than ten steps, the Mongolian army barely stabilized the battle line.

The infantry of the two armies fought fiercely. The soldiers in the front row stabbed each other with spears and slashed with sabers. Blood and flesh flew everywhere, while the crossbowmen in the rear threw arrows into the sky. The arrows intertwined in the air, making the sun dim and the wind and clouds changing colors.

At this time, Zhao Tai saw that the Zhongyi Army was blocked by the Mongolian infantry. Zhao Tai expected that Kublai Khan would not dare to use the cavalry for the time being, so he was about to take advantage of this opportunity and take Li Fen forward without giving Kublai Khan time to react.

Suddenly, there was an uproar in the west of the battlefield. Zhao Tai quickly picked up the telescope and looked at it. In the lens, he saw the Chu army's large banner falling to the ground with a crash.

"Not good! The Chu army has been defeated!" Zhao Tai put down his telescope and looked serious.

Zhao Fan and others were shocked when they heard this, and secretly said they were thankful.

If defeated early, the battle would be difficult to fight, but now that the Qi army has defeated the Mongolian cavalry, the situation is still controllable.

Three thousand Chu troops guarded Shi Songzhi, holding on to the hills and resisting the siege of several Mongolian troops.

Although the arrival of Zhao Tai's troops greatly boosted the morale of the Chu army, the distance between the two sides was still too far, more than ten miles, and there was Meng Gong in the middle, so Zhao Tai could not send troops to reinforce.

The three thousand Chu troops persisted for a long time, but saw no reinforcements. Their morale gradually declined, but they were still defeated by the Mongolian attack.

Not only were they driven down the hill by the Mongolian army, even the Great Banner was chopped down by the Mongolian army.

This sudden change gave Zhao Tai a chill, but it gave Kublai Khan a glimmer of hope again.
