    The civilian husbands were sweating and dragging super cannons weighing more than 100,000 kilograms slowly on the muddy land. Surrounded by them were a cavalry brigade composed of rich young men in gorgeous clothes and well-equipped equipment. They were guarded by shabby servants and fine horses in mink fur.  The young knights seem to be different from each other. In fact, these gorgeous heavy cavalry are the guards of this group of civilians. Nothing in the entire Mongolian army can affect people's hearts more than the smooth placement of the Shenwu cannon.  At this time, a familiar sound like thunder suddenly came from the distance. This was a movement that the Mongolian army was all too familiar with. After a while, several red figures appeared on the skyline, and the red color spread along these people.  Filling up the skyline.  Thousands of Song Army cavalry, all wearing vermilion armor, carrying long strips of back flags behind them, with the four words "Guo Shi Wushuang" neatly written on them. Under the breeze, thousands of them  The unparalleled battle flags of thousands of national warriors were flapping in the wind, as if a piece of war music had been played before the battle, flying between the enemy and our troops.  "The whole army moves forward, the focus is to destroy the enemy's super artillery!" Han Feng, riding on the Wuzui war horse, shouted loudly: "A sudden advance, indomitable!" His decisive order ushered in a roaring tsunami.  The same response: "Take the lead and move forward!" "Hold! Hold!" Suddenly, Li Tingzhi's anxious shouts came from behind, but he saw him hurrying up and coming to Han Feng, shouting: "Before we go to battle,  How could your husband treat Dutong like this? Dutong has always been frivolous and warlike. He would immediately lead thousands of elite soldiers into the enemy's formation at the slightest provocation. Because of his brave and vigorous fighting methods, he achieved many victories and suffered losses as a result.  . Today is a decisive battle for the fate of the two countries. Dutong is responsible for commanding tens of thousands of troops and has the important task of commanding the Song Dynasty. How can he risk his own life and put himself in danger? If Dutong makes a slight mistake, what will he do?  How should the tens of thousands of elites in the army deal with themselves? Do they have to wait until they are leaderless and defeated by the Mongols before they feel regretful? " Han Feng smiled and shook his head: "Xianggong's new Shenwu army is different from the previous armies. Maybe Xianggong?  I didn't notice that the soldiers and officers who had been uniformly trained by the Dianqian Division were not so dependent on the general. What's more, I left the deputy general Zhang Weixiao there.  There will be no big mistake in advancing the troops. My battlefield is not under the banner of Pi Xiu, but in the midst of the enemy's army!" He took the shiny black spear from the hands of his soldiers, raised it high and shouted loudly: "First of all!  Destroy the Shenwu cannon, and then take the thief commander directly!" After saying that, he knocked the horse's belly, and the black horse understood and galloped forward.  Several of his followers quickly followed him holding his banners.  The army roared in unison and marched on horseback.  Li Tingzhi could not stop him, so Pegasus returned to the Chinese army to report to Zheng Yunming. Although Zheng Yunming was furious, he had no choice but to say to Bai Yijie on the side: "I can only trouble the military advisor to leave. This Han Feng must be treated well."  What's wrong with him!" Bai Yijie shook his feather fan and said slowly: "In fact, Han Feng's strength lies in decisiveness in conflicts. He is also very smart, and he is by no means the type to attack recklessly when easily provoked by the enemy.  Isn't it Director Han Silang's specialty that he always assesses the situation and leads his troops to attack the enemy's key points? This attack may not be an attempt to underestimate the enemy. " "It's too late to say anything now."  Zheng Yunming snorted: "I just pray that this kid doesn't really go up and fight someone as soon as his head heats up. He should know that this is a gamble that cannot be lost!" Zheng Yunming's worries are naturally a bit unnecessary.  The charge launched by Han Feng led all his cavalrymen, which happened to eliminate this flaw that appeared in the Mongols in a very short time.  Under the continuous attack of the Song army, the northern Han army on the front line seemed to be overwhelmed. Marshal Alihan, the commander-in-chief of the proton army in the world, had to invest 10,000 proton troops in a counterattack against the Song army. With the mobilization of troops and horses,  The troops originally shielded in front of the Shenwu cannon left their positions, allowing the Song Army's cavalry to follow the passage opened by the infantry and successfully occupy the starting position.  Now the eight thousand cavalrymen were full of momentum, aiming directly at the Shenwu cannon that was moving slowly on the road.  But if you want to destroy the Shenwu cannon, you must first pass the proton army guarding the Shenwu cannon. The more than 10,000 elite proton troops were not disturbed by the panic that pervaded the army at all. Instead, they saw the red torrent of enemy troops.  When surging here, fighting spirit was ignited. Young people are always easily infected by the fierce battlefield fighting, especially these young nobles who have been strictly trained by their father and brother since childhood and have long wanted to win a share of glory for their family.  , seeing the enemy surging forward, they became even more excited. Without waiting for Wanhu who led the troops to give orders, some Proton Army cavalry launched a hedge against the oncoming Song Army cavalry.  Both sides approached to a distance of dozens of steps. The Proton Army took off their bows and arrows and shot at the Song Army. The Song Army each took off their short muskets from the saddle bridge to fight back. The Song Army's horses quicklyGuns have always been a unique skill used by cavalry to counter Mongolian cavalry bows and arrows. At a distance of dozens of steps, the cavalry's volleys of muskets made up for the lack of accuracy, but Mongolian war horses were easily distracted by the sound of muskets and the smell of gunpowder.  Frightened, because the cavalry took turns stepping forward to bombard the enemy's cavalry with short spears, which became a fixed tactics of the Song army.  But this time, the Song cavalry seemed unwilling to do so. After they fired the two muskets on the saddle bridge, they immediately waved their sabers and spears and rushed over in neat formations.  To be precise, this is not the first time that direct assault tactics have been used in the Song Army. In fact, the cavalry generals in the Song Army prefer direct assaults far more than those who use musket rounds. This is probably because the cavalry is an extremely proud unit. Even in the face of  The Mongolian horse archers came and went erratically. Most cavalry generals preferred to rely on sabers and courage rather than using muskets as their main weapons.  Zheng Yunming's reform was just right. Although the Song army's cavalry, which had undergone new military training, still could not match the Mongolian elite cavalry in combat skills, their discipline far exceeded that of the Mobei nomadic warriors who were accustomed to fighting. When the Mongols  When the young knight tried to use bravery to solve the opponent in front of him, he always faced three or five sabers, or two or three spears alone. No wonder Han Rui looked down on the viciousness when he recalled this battle in the future.  Opponent: "They are running around like ducks in the vegetable garden. The hardest thing is to catch them. Once you can fight at close range, annihilating them will not be much more difficult than killing a duck." The torrent of red cavalry quickly swept them away.  The black enemy drowned and rushed straight towards the panicked civilians on the road and the stagnant Shenwu cannon.  The proton troops guarded the Shenwu cannon and began to form a dense formation. They were also brave men who shouldered the glory of their clans. They would never be able to run away in embarrassment like the Han people. What's more, at this time, more than ten thousand proton troops gathered together.  It seemed that there was a large black cloud spread across the field, and its momentum could rival the torrent of red cavalry.  Accompanied by the sound of sharp copper whistles, the Song Army's cavalry began to stop their horses and began to rearrange their formation at a distance of 200 steps from the Proton Army formation. However, what caught the Mongolian army off guard was that after they had arranged their formation,  , instead of rushing to attack immediately, the cavalry automatically separated into passages and launched elite bronze artillery from the passages.  In an era when cavalry was rampant, the biggest military problem that needed to be solved was the inconsistency between cavalry and heavy artillery. Usually, when the cavalry galloped hundreds of miles to attack the enemy day and night, the heavy artillery could only move hundreds of miles behind.  Moving forward slowly, cavalry and artillery seem to exist in two completely different war worlds. The former is light and agile, winning with maneuverability and dexterity, while the latter is heavy and slow, using power and shock to win.  However, since the Mongols built their country on horses, it is absolutely impossible to comprehensively update their strategies and tactics around artillery. People who do not understand the art of war always think that updating their strategies, tactics and combat ideas is as easy as changing their clothes. Little do they know that these things are deeply rooted in the soul of an army.  Deep tradition, to suddenly cut off this tradition and replace it with a completely new theoretical system is tantamount to resurrecting a person from the dead.  But now the Mongols have been relying on their cavalry groups to run rampant in the world for decades without any rivals. Only recently have they slowly declined in various places. Not to mention the emperor-level figures such as the Great Khan, King Kublai Khan, and King Hulagu.  Even an ordinary Mongolian leader would never have the slightest doubt about our army's large cavalry group tactics.  But whenever they launched an charge against the Song Army's infantry, which was well-defended and supported by a large number of artillery, they often suffered extremely heavy casualties. The Mongolian army responded by trying its best to exaggerate the importance of spirit, and encouraged the soldiers to mobilize their greatest strength.  Courage, facing the enemy's gun muzzle and rushing straight up will certainly cause heavy casualties, but once they rush into the Song Army's artillery position, the Song Dynasty's artillery can hardly resist the enemy's sword.  On the other hand, the Song Army's cavalry most of the time carried out tactical operations around its own artillery. Even Han Feng, the most famous cavalry general, complained: "The cavalry is like a girl, carrying the infantry on one end and the artillery on the other."  "But if they were truly separated from the cover of infantry and artillery, the Ma Army would still suffer heavy casualties when they charged alone against the prepared Mongolian army positions. In the Battle of Baimei Mountain on Sichuan Road, three thousand Song Army cavalry faced  An obvious example was the launch of an assault on the well-prepared Mongolian army positions. As a result, more than half of the troops were killed and most of the others were injured.  Zheng Yunming had already thought of countermeasures, and later history gave him an excellent answer. However, technical limitations prevented him from implementing the envisioned solution until new breakthroughs were made in cannon casting technology.
