Seeing that the battlefield was too chaotic, Gu Ni hurriedly gathered the troops that rushed out and confronted the Meng Xuejiao Department.

Looking at the heavy cavalry that was slowly gathering together, He Lu felt a little dry and said, "Master, the heavy cavalry of the other party is coming, how should we deal with it? But in the blink of an eye, the master of the teacher was dispersed, which is really amazing!"

Meng Xuejue said: "I have sent someone to report to the Ma Taiwei in the city, and there will be reinforcements soon. Heavy cavalry is not as good as light cavalry, and it is difficult to hurt the flowering bullets, and the effect of the musket is not very good. You can only defend first and wait for the reinforcements. - Don't be afraid when they disperse the army of Master Xie. The enemy dispatched five or six thousand heavy cavalry. If the enemy cannot disperse the army of Master Xie, wouldn't the heavy cavalry be useless? We have added the remaining army of Master Xie, and there are nearly 20,000 people. The Khitan wants to be like before, not that easy!"

He Lu nodded, his teeth clattering, and he still felt scared.

The Song army knew that the Khitan had transferred heavy cavalry, but they didn't expect that there were so many. The Khitan country's 30,000 heavy cavalry, and 15,000 arrived here. It would be strange if they could not disperse when facing the Song army. Although the musketeers were sharp, the military formation was not deep enough. Five thousand heavy cavalry faced tens of thousands of people, and one charge dispersed the central army. Then a large number of light cavalry followed, and Xie Chi had no time to react.

Seeing the heavy cavalry of the Khitan ahead slowly coming, Meng Xuezhao decisively ordered the artillery to fire. The Wu Cheng and Zhang Gan armies in Xie Chi's army were occupied a few days ago, and most of the artillery was lost. The replenished artillery in the army had not arrived, and its power was far less than that of Meng Xuezhao's army.

As the shells fell like raindrops, Gu Ni was startled: "There are many more artillery pieces in this Song army than before!"

Pu Gu said: "General, please feel at ease. The Song army's artillery exploded and could not hurt the heavily armored cavalry. As long as they rushed forward, how could the Song army's artillery be blocked? In the battle just now, just a charge, the Song army collapsed."

Gu Ni shook his head, but he didn't say anything, but he felt inappropriate. He only used five thousand iron cavalry, was he a little less? This iron cavalry is the origin of the Khitan country. Gu Ni attaches great importance to it and dares not put it all up at once.

Before the flowering bullet explodes, it still has great power when it hits the cavalry, and even people and horses can be smashed. However, the weight is too light, unlike solid bullets, which can injure a few people. However, when it explodes, it will cause less damage to horses and cavalry. The cavalry are all heavy armor, each with two layers. The fragments do not hit the vital parts, but are just injured. The vests have horse harnesses, and when they are hit by fragments, they are only injured.

During the artillery fire, cavalry fell from time to time, but the rhythm of the entire cavalry brigade remained unchanged and rushed straight towards the Song army.

Seeing that the Khitan cavalry was approaching, Meng Xuejue said to his personal soldiers: "Order the heavy cavalry to rush up, and there is no need to fight them to death. When they are thirty steps away, they will retreat and shoot. The military formation next to them will assist them in shooting. If any of them is rushed by the cavalry, order them to retreat backwards and take over them by the military formation next to them to meet the enemy. Tell the army that they dare not attack too hard and do not be disturbed!"

The personal soldiers agreed to the promise and went to pass the order quickly.

He Lu said: "The master of the division, it seems that there are thousands of heavy cavalrymen. We are afraid that the troops in our division cannot be stopped."

Meng Xuejue said: "As long as there is no chaos, you are not afraid of them. The Grand Marshal has sent reinforcements, hold on for a while, just wait for reinforcements!"

If infantry attacked, most of the musketeers of the Song army fired at thirty steps. The heavy cavalry that came could not be like that, and had already opened fire at fifty steps. At thirty steps, the army slowly retreated and continued to fire. After retreating about thirty steps, there was a flanking army next to it.

Meng Xuejiao's military formation was much denser than Xie Chi's military formation just now, with a larger depth. Moreover, Shao Hai collected Xie Chi's scattered soldiers and slowly replenished them. More importantly, the discipline of the soldiers in Meng Xuejiao's army was better and it was not easy to disperse.

The heavy armor rushed forward, and the military formation in front retreated. After thirty steps, just after catching up, the military formation next to it had already appeared and harassed the flanks. After this, the Song army was quickly assembled and entered the battle again. After fighting hard for a long time, Meng Xuejiao's military formation was still unrest.

Gu Niu saw that the heavy cavalry had suffered a lot, so he hurriedly ordered to retreat quickly. Musketeers were different from archers and were much more difficult to deal with. Crossbow shooters shot twenty or thirty arrows, and most of them tried their best. These musketeers were different. As long as they were entangled, they would gain the upper hand the longer they were. And unlike crossbows, musketeers shot straight and faced the battle, which was more similar to swords and gunmen. After setting a distance, they stepped forward one after another, and there was almost no way.

The heavy cavalry retreated, Gu Ni hurriedly asked the general Wu Gu who led the team: "How many troops have been lost in the battle just now?"

After checking the personal soldiers of Wugu sent their hands, they crossed their hands and said, "These Song troops are extremely cunning and have lost a lot of people. Roughly, this person has lost nearly 800 people. If there is no other way, such a strong attack will not work."

Gu Ni said: "What other way is there? The general also saw that the artillery of the Song army was extremely sharp. Without heavy armor, it would be difficult to rush to their army. If heavy armor could break their artillery, it would be easier to fight."

Wu Gu looked at the Song army formation and shook his head and said, "This is a bit difficult. We rushed forward and the Song army formation retreated. Not long after chasing, there was a military formation next to us, which was too difficult to deal with. We were all heavily armed and we were not running fast, so it was difficult to break through at once."

Gu Ni looked up at the sun in the sky, then looked at the Song army. After a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "The Lord of the Emperor came over to defeat the Song army! At this time, why bother to care about casualties!"

After saying that, he said to Wugu: "There are only about 10,000 people in the Song army ahead. You bring 10,000 heavy armor to break through their military formation! Even if you lose some people, it is still worth it to destroy these more than 10,000 Song army!"

Wu Gu's heart thumped and said, "But listen to the general's order!"

Looking at the heavy cavalry gathering in the Khitan ahead, Meng Xuejue felt his eyes leaping. He had more than 10,000 people, and Xie Chi's remaining troops had not yet been reorganized. How could he block ten thousand iron cavalry? But if he couldn't, where could he retreat?

He Lu said: "Master, why don't we retreat under the city wall? With the city wall, the Khitans cannot circumvent the side and behind."

Meng Xuezhao shook his head: "When you get to the city wall, even though you are safe on the side and behind, our entire army will not be able to move. The Khitan heavy cavalry came to rush forward. If the military formation cannot retreat and fight against them, wouldn't it be a dead end!"

After thinking for a while, Meng Xuezhao said to his personal soldiers: "Go to the city and urge him to quickly send reinforcements! The enemy is numerous and we are few, and they have multiple cavalry, which is really hard to resist! If the reinforcements are not coming, I can only retreat!"

The personal soldiers agreed to the promise. Meng Xuejiao looked at the soldiers in front and said after a while: "This time the Khitan brigade of cavalry came, I am afraid that all the military formations in front would face the enemy! If the order continues, the entire army will shrink to me and shorten the front line! It is impossible to deal with the Khitans, the depth is not enough! It is better to have a shorter front than to ensure depth! Also, the Khitans cannot use heavy cavalry to attack my flanks and let them defend against light cavalry!"
