    The Tiger Artillery Battalion following the infantry brigade hardly attracted much attention from the Mongolian army. They were focused only on the menacing approach of a large area of ??red military uniforms in a brown field.  Niu Phosphorus gestured expressionlessly, and the ten thousand households around him shouted loudly: "Listen to the truth! Since the Great Khan raised his troops on the Onon River, every battle has been invincible, and every attack has been invincible. And today's Mongolia  Great Country! Your last opponent is only Sinan Siguo, or in other words, only Zheng Yunming is left! You grew up in Mobei, followed the Great Khan to travel thousands of miles away, and fought against all kinds of enemies.  They defeated them one by one! Today, it is not Zheng Yunming who wins, the victory belongs to you!" The Mongolian cavalry shouted in the sky: "Batulu!" Niu Phosphorus pointed his horse forward!  With one finger, he shouted: "Attack!" The sound of horseshoes hitting the ground came from the white mist, hitting everyone's eardrums, but for the officers of the Shenwu Army, this was a battle they had experienced more than once.  , the shock of the horse's hooves is something they are used to, and they can't see the faces of the enemy cavalry clearly in the fog, so the psychological shock they suffer is weakened a lot. On the contrary, the officers have to constantly remind: "Be careful! The enemy's cavalry  Here we go! Hold on to your spears! Be alert!" The artillery commander also shouted: "The artillery is deployed and ready to fire!" Dozens of tiger cannons on both sides immediately stopped advancing and turned their muzzles forward.  , although the heavy fog has dissipated slightly, they still cannot distinguish the target, but this does not matter. The shotgun used for sniper cavalry can also be used for barrage shooting only based on experience when vision cannot work. Although this is only for a special period.  It's a last resort, but the artillery shells fired in sequence can indeed create a terrifying killing area.  But the premise of all this is that the artillery commander leading the team has sufficient experience to distinguish the approximate distance of the enemy cavalry through the sound of horse hooves.  For the artillery officers of the Shenwu New Army, this is not a problem at all. They are all elite artillerymen who were taught by Zheng Yunming in Jingchu. In the past twenty years, they have fought on steep mountain passes.  They fought in the open fields, and they even fought in the filthy swamps. They built rainproof shelters with grass and cowhide in the fierce wind and rain, and opened fire in the moonless night with the flickering light in the distance.  , for these battle-hardened warriors, they are fully capable of dealing with this situation.  "The enemy is still 300 steps away! Be prepared!" "The enemy is still 200 steps away, reload the artillery shells!" "The enemy is just 100 steps away, fire!" Along with the clear command, the Tiger Cannon fired one after another.  The bullets in the chamber were fired out, and the fist-sized shotshells flew straight into the thick fog ahead with flames and loud noises.  Accompanied by the neighing and wailing of the men and horses and the heavy sound of falling to the ground, it was clear that the Shenwu New Army's bombardment was not without success.  But the Mongols did not seem to be intimidated by this oncoming blow. Accompanied by the sound of horse hooves and the roar of killing, there were armored cavalry rushing out of the fog and iron chisel spears hitting the front door.  With the muffled sound of objects hitting and the harsh sound of swords and guns clashing, the Mongolian cavalry rushed into the Song army's spear array.  "It's so stupid!" Han Feng was not far behind and could barely see the fighting scene ahead through the fog. He loudly said to the deputy general Liu Yicheng beside him: "The most important thing for a general to use his troops is to know the enemy's strength before fighting.  If you take the risk of using frontal assault tactics to deal with the mighty formation, as long as the enemy has a little discipline, the attackers will suffer heavy losses. Look, how stupid their attack is!" This wave of frontal conflict naturally caused the Mongols to suffer!  The losses were so heavy that Wanhu couldn't help shouting to Niu Phosphorus: "The athletes in front are fighting hard, please Na Yan let them retreat a little, and wait for our firearms to come up to suppress the enemy before charging again!"  He said expressionlessly: "Continue to attack! Where is the bloody spirit of the man? Never withdraw the troops until Han Feng stops advancing!" Wanhu took a deep breath. He had never heard Niphos say such a thing. Regarding Mongolia, Wanhu took a deep breath.  The Mongolian generals carefully protected the troops of their headquarters. Because Mobei has a sparse population, the core strength of Mongolia will be weakened if one person is killed in battle. Now, Marshal Du used his precious troops and horses to charge towards the well-organized Song army.  He has really been carried away by the desire to fight!  But he didn¡¯t dare to disobey Niu Phosphorus¡¯s orders, because he clearly saw Niu Phosphorus¡¯s guard captain rushing toward the Song army with several of Niu Phosphorus¡¯ most trusted 100-household teams.  He shouted: "Baturu of all tribes, follow me!" He drew his sword and urged his horse to catch up.  The Battle of Huama Lake was the first major battle that took place that day. The Mongolian cavalry faced the Song Army infantry covered by artillery and charged repeatedly at the cost of casualties, killing hundreds of Shenwu Army soldiers. With courage and tenacity, the Mongolian cavalry  The Song army blocked the position west of Huama Lake.  The two armies built a camp seven or eight miles west of Huama Lake.We built fortresses, repaired our positions, and prepared for a long-term confrontation.  But the Battle of Huama Lake was not the most brutal battle of the day. A troop led by Xiang Shibi marched through the waterway at Daye Lake where the enemy was weak. Not to mention the smooth journey, the truly brutal battle was in Hu  Huangzhou, of course, when Zhang Sheng led his army to land in Huangzhou, he did not encounter the legendary tens of thousands of elite soldiers at first.  There were only two to three thousand old and weak soldiers left in Huhuangzhou. Zhang Sheng didn't know how Zheng Yunming managed to make tens of thousands of elite soldiers disappear like a magic trick, but he had long known that Zheng Yunming had a lot of connections in the north. Legend has it that every day the Mongolian army  The people Khan met, the dishes he ate, and even the words he spoke to his concubines would all be truthfully conveyed to the ears of the prime ministers of the Southern Dynasties.  If Zheng Yunming can find some tricks, he will naturally have this ability.  But he did not dare to be careless at all. As soon as he landed on the shore, he immediately drove away the enemy troops in Huhuangzhou, occupied the residential areas, quickly burned the pontoon bridge, and scuttled all the two to three hundred small boats along the coast.  Before the battle, Zheng Xianggong made it clear: "I can only give you two or three relaxing hours. After that, the enemy's situation is unpredictable, but I can tell you with certainty that there will be at least 50,000 enemies, many of whom are elite. We  I want to give you more troops and horses, but I am afraid that if we fight at our backs and the whole army is wiped out, you can go if you dare. If you don't dare, I will go in lieu of Prince Qiu, the commander of the capital of Sanxiang. " This is an obvious way to provoke the general.  , if he had said this to Wei Sheng, Wei Sheng would have laughed, but these words were especially useful to Zhang Sheng. From the moment he said these words, Zhang Sheng's eyes were filled with bloodshot eyes, and he prepared for war with extra strictness.  "The foundation of the fence was made firmer, and some branches were placed in front and covered with floating soil. I thought it was your home building a fence! Even pigs can push through such a fence, so how can they stop the Mongols! The Mongols will not  It's better to be useless than a pig!" "The Tiger Artillery Team over there only has so many shells prepared? You don't know if it's enough until the enemy's saber hits your head?  Use it! Go to the ship immediately and get the spare ammunition. Prepare at least three times the normal amount of grapeshot and shotgun! The number of enemies is much greater than ours! Whether we can survive depends on the performance of your gunners!  I have repeatedly said that the trench must be wide enough so that the enemy's horses cannot cross it! The antlers must be inserted hard enough. I tied all the old gun heads collected from other camps to the antlers to prevent them from jumping.  The Tatars are going to attack you!" "Don't relax for a moment! Wait until the Tatars are defeated! The Tatars' sharp arrows and iron spears will not show any mercy!  ! You will be able to receive your husband¡¯s reward alive!¡± Zhang Sheng¡¯s words were true. Before three hours, dust arose around Huhuangzhou, and armies rushed in from all directions to surround Huhuangzhou.  The Mongolian navy warships also came from the upper reaches and launched a counterattack against the Song army warships waiting on the Huhuangzhou River.  The fierce battle in Huhuangzhou was even more brutal than the battle at Huama Lake. The number of troops and horses invested by the Mongolian army was believed to be at least 60,000. Apparently, Prince Tachar, the commander-in-chief of the Mongolian army who was supervising the battle in Jiangbei, concentrated the troops in the north.  The main force attempted to retake Huhuang Prefecture.  On the river, the remaining tortoise-shell ships were used as the vanguard, and three to four hundred large and small warships were hit and launched a counterattack.  But the Song Army was already sure of victory in the battle on the water. Under the cover of the sharp stern boats, twenty Haihu gunboats formed a single column on the river without any scruples, using intensive artillery fire to mow down enemy ships that dared to approach.  Once a turtle ship loses the courage to ram, its performance in an artillery battle is not as good as an ordinary gun ship.  As a result, the Mongolian army's attempt to regain control of the Huhuangzhou River failed, but the battle on land was completely different.  The Han soldiers in teams of one hundred, led by the Mongolian household chiefs, formed a dense formation and advanced towards the Song army's position.  When facing enemy troops that have been deployed in advance and have strong positions, infantry is indeed more effective. This is a view generally accepted by both the North and the South and even other countries in recent years. Especially when the attack is not the Mongolian headquarters, there is no need to be taboo.  What casualties.  But there are also problems with this. Most of the Han soldiers who attacked belonged to Yan Zhongsi's subordinates from ten thousand households in Henan and other places. Since Yan Shi was defeated in Xiangyang and all his troops were lost, the Yan family has never been able to restore its basic combat effectiveness. Yan Shi and other  Zi Yan Zhongsi and Yan Zhongji spent a lot of effort, and at most they could only gather 3,000 troops capable of fighting. However, the Mongolian side was very dissatisfied. Henan was at the forefront of the war against the Song Dynasty. With such a small number of troops, it could only serve as a  The power of public security could not be used as a powerful servant during the Southern Expedition, so Meng Ge specially ordered Yan Zhongsi to sign troops in the territory. A total of 10,000 troops were signed in Henan to be used as the vanguard of the attack on the Southern Dynasties.
