When the pace was changing, the Mongol cavalry that rushed to the formation also began to change their formation, widen the distance between them so that they could have room for maneuver. This also expanded the impact surface to nearly three miles, making the enemy in front seem to feel that there were speeding war horses everywhere. They had no choice but to avoid it, and panic, causing the formation to collapse.

In order to break the enemy formation, the war horses must increase their speed to the extreme at the last moment in order to obtain the maximum impact. When the Song army started shelling, the front row of Mongolian Yuan cavalry had completed the preparation for the rushing formation less than 200 steps away from the battle formation. They held their bows in their hands and grabbed three arrows with their right hand. After a few breaths, they would enter the effective shooting range. They would quickly shoot all the arrows in their hands.

Under the rain of arrows, if the Song army formation is disrupted or there is a gap, they will take the opportunity to rush into the formation. After opening the breakthrough, subsequent cavalry will also rush into the enemy formation and slash and kill the enemy army wantonly until it emerges. If the enemy formation does not show any flaws, they will turn their horses at the last moment, withdraw in a parallel direction with the enemy formation, and then turn back to their own battle formation to prepare for the next attack.

But at this time, guns and cannons in the Song army's formation were fired, and overwhelming artillery fire fell from the sky, as dense as hail exploding around them. Flying shrapnel tear the bodies of the war horses and the cavalrymen. The armor that could withstand strong bows was as if it was not there. The war horses pounced on the ground, and the cavalrymen fell off their horses. The most terrifying thing was that the war horses had never seen such a scene. The explosion made them frightened and lost their past docile. They either ran around, or threw themselves into a slump and lifted their masters under the horse, or even turned around and ran back.

The formation of the charge was disrupted, and the cavalry collided and trampled on each other, which increased the chaos and increased casualties. However, the cavalry rushing in front had no turn around. If the horse speed was slowed down, they would be hit by the following cavalry. So even if they knew they were dead, they would not stop. They could only try their best to stabilize the horses and advance in the rain of bullets according to their original plans.

But the remaining 100 steps were not smooth. The artillery in the Song army's formation lowered its guns and shot them directly. The countless projectiles sprayed out hit the cavalry and their men and horses, and less than one in ten were able to rush to the Song army's formation after two rounds of strikes. When they stood up and tried to shoot out the arrows in their hands, they were killed by the dense rain of bullets fired from the muskets of the Song army's infantry.

Seeing that the companions in the front row were all injured and killed, the cavalry that followed the follow-up could not form a formation, even if they rushed up, they would not pose a threat to the Song army formation. Seeing that things were not done, the generals in the leader blew the horn and gathered the remaining soldiers to command them to turn to the left wing to leave the battlefield, and then retreat to the formation to avoid greater losses.

The remaining soldiers who returned to the headquarters were killed more than a thousand people, and more than a thousand were seriously injured. Almost everyone else was beloved. Looking at the corpses everywhere on the battlefield, Ananda answered silently after hearing the news. Nearly five thousand people rushed forward, and more than half of the casualties were killed or killed without even being next to the southern army. This was a situation he had never encountered before.

"Retreat at the last moment, and kill all the troops in the lead!" Ananda replied silent for a moment and said viciously.

"Your Highness, the defeat was not because of the generals leading the army. It was because the enemy's firearms were too fierce. It was inappropriate to kill the generals in the formation, so how could the troops convince the soldiers!" All the subordinates of Mingli Timur participated in the first battle. At this time, he was heartbroken because of the heavy casualties. He heard that he wanted to kill his generals again and said, "

"If you don't kill, how can you correct the military law and kill it!" Ananda glared at him and shouted.

"Your Highness..." Mingli Timur couldn't help but be angry and wanted to argue.

"Oh, if you don't kill them, the battle below will not be fought. Do you want us to die here with King Lin? After the war, I will give their family a generous pension and ask for a title for them." Ananda replied tilted his body and whispered in Mingli Timur's ear.

"Behead!" After hearing this, Mingli Timuer glanced at the fear of the generals around him. He was obviously scared by the sharpness of the Nan's weapons, and then he understood Ananda's thoughts. He wanted to use a few heads to shock the troops to stabilize the morale of the troops to facilitate the fight again. But thinking about the two thousand households under his command were beheaded for this, which was also unfair to die. But the situation was not as good as others, so he could only bear the pain and respond.

Two heads spread throughout the army and then hung high above the flagpole. As expected, no one dared to say anything more. In order to boost morale, Ananda ordered his Hala Chi army to rush forward again, but he was not a fool. In order to reduce casualties, he turned into a column and used a small group of loose formations of multiple routes to rush towards the Southern Army.

Although this reduced casualties, it also made the impact difficult to sustain, but it gave the Southern Army a chance to defeat them, so that they could only shoot all the arrows in their hands in a distance, and quickly turned their heads and turned back to their original formation. In addition to adding some corpses on the battlefield, they still returned in vain.

In fact, the victory or defeat on the battlefield is sometimes about consumption. It depends on who can withstand it and endure it. Ananda also knows this well. Relying on his strong military strength, he continues to send troops to collide. This team returns and the other team goes, and continues to make the soldiers of the Southern Army not rest. When they are exhausted, they will then lift heavy troops to break the formation. He uses this tactic and does not know how many opponents he has killed and how many rebels he defeated.

However, Ananda miscalculated this time. The physical strength of using cold weapons to fight was extremely high. No matter how strong the crossbowman was, it was difficult for him to shoot ten arrows in a row, and he needed to take a continuous rotation and rest. He was wearing dozens of kilograms of armor and holding guns and sticks to prepare for battle, and he was very tired even if he just stood. When the Southern Army used muskets, he could shoot fatal bullets with just hooking his fingers. Moreover, they did not have heavy armor on their bodies, and often only had light breastplate and an iron helmet, which saved a lot of physical strength and allowed them to fight for a long time.

After more than a dozen rounds of rushing, they saw that the Southern Army was still exhausted and showed flaws. Ananda answered again to adjust his tactics, allowing the left and right troops to attack the two wings of the Southern Army at the same time, trying to make it difficult for its most powerful artillery to take into account three directions. They could find flaws when the enemy's support firepower was weakened and win the fighter plane. At that time, as long as they were broken through, the entire formation would collapse.

The Mongolian grassland cavalry was skilled in riding and had first-class horse control skills. They took turns to attack the Southern Army formation. Even if they were not messed up under the shooting of the Song army's guns and cannons, they were not confused about the formation like a gyro, and they could not disturb each other. However, the skill of riding and shooting is difficult to reflect. The Song army's artillery fire was diverted and the firepower was much weaker. However, under the volley of muskets, they still could not advance to the front of the formation for fifty steps, making the cavalry bow unable to exert its due power. As for how many Southern Army soldiers they killed and injured, only God knew.

From the battle of the two armies before noon to the sunset, the Mongolian and Yuan tribes still had no chance to break the formation, but they continued to rush forward, trying to exhaust the enemy's energy. However, the Song army's formation remained unmoved, and the human corpses and horse corpses in front of them formed a short wall like a city wall, and the battlefield was even more bloody and corpses were everywhere.

The Mongol Yuan Grassland Army was known as the elite of the army, but the elite were also divided into the top and bottom. The Halachi Army, led by Ananda, had the strongest troops and had always undertaken frontal attacks. The casualties were not considered heavy, but they could still fight. The Right Army was pieced together by various small sect kings. They were not very strong in strength and had different thoughts. In the case of long-term attacks and increasing casualties, their morale fell again and again, and they had already become depressed.

At this time, the Song army suddenly concentrated artillery fire and bombarded the Right Army. The whistling rockets covered the entire battlefield. The cannons and small cannons bombarded the attacking team one after another. The fierce artillery fire instantly disrupted the attacking rhythm of the Right Army, forcing them to turn their horses and retreat.

Just at this moment, the Song cavalry, who had been hiding in the formation, rushed out of the formation and swept towards the retreating Right Army. The Right Army, who had been stunned by artillery fire, did not dare to fight when they saw this, and fled to the original formation, but was followed by the Southern Dynasty cavalry, who were following and pursued, took advantage of the momentum to break through the formation. The formation of the Right Army collapsed instantly, and Amugan could not stop them. Everyone immediately fled in various places, and they were also swept away.

Seeing the right army was defeated, Ananda urgently ordered Mingli Timur to lead the front army to block the Song cavalry to save the defeat. At this time, the drums and horns in the Song army's formation sounded, and its right wing began to change formations, rearranged several square formations, and the three formations formed a formation in the form of a Pin character, and arranged into battle lines to launch a counterattack against the left army of the Mongolian Yuan.

The Song army took neat steps, stepped on the dead bodies all over the ground, and pressed towards the left army with an unyielding momentum amid the fierce sound of war drums, and launched an attack with them. Under rows of muskets, the Mongolian Yuan cavalry shuttled into the rain of bullets fell off their horses. Some people broke into the Song army's formation, and were soon submerged in it and stabbed into sieves by countless bayonets and stepped into meat paste.

When facing the attacking Song army, Yihe quickly adjusted the formation and lined up in a series of horizontal lines to attack the Song army, trying to break the square formation and divide and annihilate the enemy. Facing the cavalry that rushed up, the Southern Song army blocked with a volley. The front-line cavalry paid a heavy price and won the opportunity for close combat for the followers. This was also the closest time between the two armies after most of the battle.

The extremely excited cavalry of the Left Army threw arrows at the Song army in the last moment, as if they wanted to vent their resentment that had been suppressed for a long time, and even if they were shot into a hornet's nest the next moment. Faced with the approaching enemy cavalry, the Song army's battle formation remained unchanged. The people in front were caught in the arrow, and the people behind quickly filled the vacancy, and the injured were immediately dragged away for treatment.

Under the constant pressure of the Song army, the depth of the left army was also shrinking, making the distance of the war horses' charges shorter and shorter. When it was difficult for them to unfold, the shrill sounded, and the Song army changed its formation and carried out the charge with bayonets. It lost its speed, and the war horses trapped in the melee were equal to waste, and the cavalry on their backs were torn off and stabbed by bayonets.
