The red sun jumped up from the horizon, and the sky was filled with rays of light, and the sky was filled with red. In the rays of light, the Khitan army in front immediately became clear. A mile away, it was vague to see clearly.

Xie Chi put down the telescope in his hand and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He could see clearly that the Khitan cavalry on the opposite side were all heavy armored and all horses were equipped. Unlike the days before, the Khitans came today were heavy armored cavalry.

After thinking for a moment, Xie Chi said to the personal soldiers who were sent to the command, "Order the artillery, all the artillery soldiers will be replaced with live ammunition! The opposite side is heavy armor, and the flowering ammunition is not very useful!"

The messenger was stunned and said, "Governor leader, now it's too late to change the shells."

Xie Chi was stunned and couldn't help but be stunned. After a while, he said, "Even if he can't change it for a while, he will order the city to send out the live ammunition as soon as possible! Facing the heavy armor and the fragments of the flowering bullet, he is afraid that it will not be very harmful."

The commander of the personal soldiers was about to leave, Xie Chi stopped and said, "Go and inform the other division leaders again. Khitan heavy cavalry will be on the battlefield, and use more live ammunition!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a low horn sound in front of him. The Khitan heavy cavalry, a mile away, slowly pressed towards the Song army. The sound of horse hooves became louder and louder, and within a short while, it was like thunder.

The Song army's artillery roared, and a large number of shells fell into the heavy cavalry. Soon, the flowering shells exploded and the fragments were flying all over the sky. Unfortunately, the power of the fragments could not penetrate the heavy cavalry's armor and harnesses, and the damage caused was too small.

Gu Ni looked at the unstoppable heavy armored cavalry heading towards the Song army formation and breathed a sigh of relief. From the feeling, he felt that the Song army's flowering bullets were not that scary, and the general soldiers suffered heavy casualties, but heavy armor should be able to defend against it. This is true in today's battle.

Seeing the heavy cavalry approaching fifty steps, the Song army began to shoot. The power of the musket bullet is much stronger than the fragments of the flowering bullet. However, although it can penetrate the heavy armor, it often cannot cause too much damage. Moreover, in front of the cavalry, the firing rate of the musket is too low.

With the rumbling sound of horse hooves, the heavy Khitan riders raised their spears and charged, breaking through the defense of the Song army in the front row.

Xie Chi, who was on the tower, was frightened and immediately ordered his personal soldiers to come and rescue him immediately. At the same time, he ordered the artillery soldiers to keep firing and cut off the Khitan reinforcements that followed him.

Seeing the heavily armored cavalry breaking through the Song army formation, Gu Ni raised his steel knife and said sternly: "Pu Gu, take his troops to follow and destroy the Song army!"

Pugu, with his light cavalry, waved his swords and guns, followed behind the heavy armored cavalry and rushed straight towards the Song army.

Xie Chi was in the watchtower, holding a telescope in his hand, watching his military formation being killed by the Khitan heavy armored cavalry, and he didn't know what to do for a moment. At this time, there were only 5,000 Khitan heavy cavalry, and Gu Ni did not send out all of them. But for Xie Chi's first division, five thousand heavy cavalry was an unstoppable force, and the central army soon became in chaos.

With so much experience in the battle, the Khitans also knew that the Song army's guns and cannons were shocked. Before the war, the horse's ears were blocked. Pugu followed the heavy cavalry and rushed towards the Song army like a flying carriage. Although there were still shells falling, they were much less than normal and could not stop the Khitan offensive.

Seeing that his troops had been dispersed by the Khitan cavalry, they were divided into small groups, each fighting each other. Xie Chi only felt his eyes were black and knew that this battle would be almost certain. He looked around and only hoped that the Song army would come to save him.

Pu Gu rushed into the Song army formation and ordered all units to attack each artillery position. As long as the artillery was destroyed, the large troops behind could come up continuously. In close combat between the two armies, why was the Song army the opponent of the Khitan?

As soon as he looked up, Pu Gu saw a general holding a telescope on it, looking around. Several personal soldiers around him pulled out their steel knives and guarded him. With a sneer, he came over with nearly a hundred soldiers.

Xie Chi saw it in the Wanglou and hurriedly said, "The situation is not good, let's go on quickly!"

While speaking, he quickly walked down the lookout tower with his personal soldiers. Looking around, his troops were completely in chaos and there was no organization. Looking ahead, a Khitan general ran towards him with a steel gun in his hand. He gritted his teeth, pulled out the steel knife, and said sternly: "Defeated! What else can I say at this time! I will fight the Khitan general to the death, and you will go to other divisions to ask for help immediately!"

After saying that, he rushed straight towards Pu Gu. The personal soldiers behind him were not willing to leave at this time and followed Xie Chi closely.

At this moment, I heard the sound of a trumpet from the east. A big flag flew in the sky.

When the personal soldiers saw this, they grabbed Xie Chi: "Master of the regiment, Master Meng is here to save us! Avoid these Khitans, and we will quickly go and meet Master Meng! Once we have stabilized our position, we will fight to the death with the Khitans!"

After saying that, he didn't care whether Xie Chi-tong agreed or not, and a few people pulled him away.

Pu Gu was taking people to chase him, but he heard the cannons behind him. When he looked back, a Song army came to the flank and rushed straight over. Gu Ni was fighting on the other side. He was too late and his back might be surrounded. He had to give up Xie Chi, greeting the troops and prepare for the battle.

Meng Xuezhao looked at the military formation in front and ordered Shao Hai to gather the troops of the first division of Xie Chi. At the same time, he ordered his subordinate artillery to urgently arrange artillery positions. He also said to He Lu beside him: "The heavy armored cavalry of the Khitan did not break the flower bullets. Unfortunately, we have not made preparations in time these days. Most of the live ammunitions are in the city, and it is too late now. The bayonets of the soldiers are not very useful when facing the heavy cavalry. You immediately bring two hundred soldiers with spears in your hands. If the heavy cavalry of the Khitan attacks, you will go up and disperse their military formations."

He Lu was stunned: "Master Master, the heavy cavalry rushed over like a mountain. How can I stop it with a spear? If I go up like this, it's just a death sentence. I still have to find a way to stop the enemy."

Meng Xuejue said: "There is no other way to go when they are anxious. They can only rush up against the heavy cavalry, stab the horse's neck with a spear, and chop the horse's legs with a knife. As long as they are in chaos, the musketeers behind them will have a way. There is no need to argue, there is only this way today!"

After hearing this, He Lu had no choice but to choose 200 soldiers, each with spears, prepared a knife, and prepared to step forward to block the Khitan heavy cavalry.

Infantry fights cavalry, either keeps on the ground. Use spears in the front and stalking them into the ground, which is similar to resisting horses. Gunners often use crossbow shooters behind them, constantly firing arrows to shoot enemy soldiers back. Or they are for the sake of casualties and injuries and confronting cavalry. Heavy cavalry charges with their own rhythm. Infantry rushing up only hurts the horses, disrupts the rhythm of heavy armored cavalry, and follows them behind them.

The Song army used muskets and cannons, and there were not many swords and guns in the army. Most of these spears were not used in actual combat, and some of the meaning of etiquette soldiers can only be used barely now. As long as the rhythm of heavy armored cavalry is disrupted and their speed is reduced, the musketeers who keep up can play their greatest role.
