    Bai Yijie watched the black army horses in the distance retreat without listening, massed, attacked again, and collapsed again and again in front of the red city wall of his army. He calmed down, and it seemed that Zheng Yunming would no longer be in danger of his life for the time being. Seeing this  The troops of the army shuttled back and forth near the base camp, and dust continued to rise in the direction of the pontoon bridge to the east. The Song Dynasty fought on its own land, and the number of troops it could mobilize was limited when the war first started. However, as time went by, reinforcements naturally came one after another.  Since Zheng Yunming introduced the reserve service method, the available reserve men are almost the same as Xining Baojia. After the top-down system construction is completed, the combat effectiveness cannot be compared with the Baojia soldiers.  These days, when the Ezhou Army and the Mongolian Army are fighting each other hard, the entire Jinghu area that has not been affected by the war is doing two things. They are preparing various military supplies to supply the main force of the imperial court that is about to arrive, and fully mobilizing all townships and people.  Of course, these reservists are not enough to directly enter the battlefield. Zheng Yunming is not even prepared to use them as an effective combat force. However, at this moment, any force may break the camel's back.  As the last straw, Zheng Yunming made a decision as quickly as possible that later generations of historians would be grateful for. He ordered all the more than 100,000 reserve officers and soldiers being assembled in Jiangnan to be deployed on various battlefields.  One hundred thousand horses rolled westward, kicking up dust all over the sky and making noisy noises. This scene alone was enough to frighten the Mongolian soldiers who were fighting to the death. They even did not use these reserve soldiers who were not actually very strong in combat. Many of them went into battle.  The Mongolian troops who were still fighting to the death lost their fighting spirit and fled one after another just by seeing the smoke and dust rising from the rear of the Song army.  The Mongolian soldiers on the north bank who were desperately trying to cross the river to rescue the Great Khan also lost confidence. The Hanyang gentry standing on the south bank of the Yangtze River watching the excitement (there has always been no shortage of people watching the excitement in history, the elders of Hanyang also  Such audacious folly) could see the northern army fleeing rapidly backwards on horseback.  The general situation has been decided. Bai Yijie made this conclusion in his heart. Although the hateful Nine-Hand Beetle in front is still firmly erected in front of the golden tent, the Mongolian army is finally over, although many people still can't see this clearly.  , even Zheng Yunming may not be able to conclude that victory is guaranteed, but Bai Yijie already understands.  He looked at the reserve soldiers passing by the formation. They were all high-spirited and lined up neatly in front of their supreme commander. They raised the sharp swords in their hands to salute the supervisor, and then rushed to the army singing the army's war hymn.  On the battlefield, war is a game of fighting strength and a stage for battle of wits, but more importantly, it is a momentum. Where the momentum lies, even if there are any flaws in the deployment.  Either they are at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, or they have made mistakes in their tactics. The seemingly unforgivable mistakes will become insignificant, because the party that is gaining momentum will crush all obstacles unstoppably like a rolling stone and win the final victory.  .  Such a trend may be a reflection of the organizational strength within the group, or the overwhelming advantage in materials and the gap in utilization efficiency, or the gap in weapons, or it may simply be caused by a temporary boost in morale. Bai Yijie believes that these factors may be  More or less, it was reflected in this decisive battle, but no matter what, the most important thing is that the Song Army has already won the victory, and the next step is to clear out those stubborn people who still refuse to admit defeat.  But there are still imperfections in victory. When groups of soldiers are rushing back and forth, it is inevitable that some confusion will occur. Some units have not been trained for a long time, some troops are confused due to frequent transfer orders, and some units are even confused because of their  Zheng Xianggong encouraged the generals to take initiative and the leaders acted blindly. Of course, there were also orders that were conveyed incorrectly, such as the group of capable soldiers in full armor who came in front of them and held the red flag high. It was obviously because the order was not conveyed.  An error has occurred.  What Bai Yijie hates the most in his life is the mistakes caused by unclear military orders. Such mistakes are usually included in the traditional Seven Laws and Fifty-four Cuts, but in a real war, there are not a few such fools. If you encounter them  Other generals will definitely understand the inevitable chaos on the battlefield and protect their subordinates, but Bai Yijie has always been ruthless in running the army, so much so that some people in the army say that Zheng Xianggong is like his mother, and Commander Bai is the strict father.  Bai Yijie stood up from his seat with a gloomy expression and put down the feather fan in his hand. The general who still made such mistakes at such a tense moment must be executed immediately to establish military discipline.  As the troops rushed to the front of the central army, the primary school guard shouted loudly: "Which part are you and where is the password!" Before he could finish his words, a wolf-fang feather arrow immediately pierced his throat.  Niu Phosphorus slammed the phoenix-winged helmet on his head to the ground, and shouted with red eyes: "Follow me and kill Zheng Yunming!" Hundreds of Mongolian warriors took off their helmets together, revealing their bare heads and braided hair.  He shouted: "Batulu! Kill Zheng Yunming!" He cut off the antlers of the deer in front of him and rushed into the unsuspecting Chinese army camp at extremely fast speeds.    Before attacking Zheng Yunming, New Phosphorus quickly used a looking glass to estimate the battlefield situation. This new invention of the Southern Dynasties was an excellent tool for the Mongols. Before the southern expedition, New Phosphorus even proposed to the Great Khan.  A new cavalry tactic based on looking glasses is adopted, that is, a large number of cavalry equipped with looking glasses move forward in an evacuation formation and use the looking glass to detect the enemy's movements at any time. Once the enemy is discovered, they will immediately launch an attack on the spot and intercept the enemy at the same time.  The reconnaissance force was used to cover the advance of the artillery, and to gather the soldiers for encirclement and annihilation. Unfortunately, the basis of such tactics was to equip looking glasses in batches. However, due to smuggling, the looking glasses smuggled to the north due to the strict ban of the Song Dynasty were still extremely scarce.  It is a treasure that only commanders at the general level can equip.  Without looking at the overall situation carefully, just by looking at the equipment on Zheng Yunming's side and the increasing number of flags to the east, New Phosphorus can judge that with these people in his army, it is difficult to penetrate head-on enough to snipe Zheng Yunming.  distance.  Over the years, the Song Army's ability to deal with cavalry has been increasing day by day. Before the Mongolian cavalry breaks into the enemy's infantry square, they will encounter a baptism of artillery fire from a distance of at least 200 steps, and then there will be volleys from matchlocks and crossbows.  After the breakthrough, the Song Army infantry had developed an extremely tenacious will. Sometimes even the three rows of spearmen in front were killed and wounded, but the entire phalanx would not collapse. Twenty years of constant fighting and summarizing experience were the key to this.  The infantry of the Song Army evolved to the point where they turned a blind eye to the fear of cavalry.  Niu Phosphorus really used cavalry to attack forcefully. The Song Dynasty's soldiers and horses would quickly pile up like wolves after hearing the blood. They launched one defense line after another in front of the Mongolian cavalry, and continued to roll up and extend to the two wings, trying to surround Niu Phosphorus.  Department.  Even if Niu Phosphorus' men exerted their full combat power, they would not be able to advance a hundred steps in front of Zheng Yunming, let alone successfully kill Zheng Yunming.  Therefore, strategies must be used. Except for the front-line troops fighting against the Song Dynasty, the Mongolian army rarely uses strategies. Just relying on a few fixed tactics and huge national power is enough to crush all surrounding troops who dare to stop the Mongolian army.  strength.  In fact, the Mongols did not lack the wisdom to use tactics when they were weak. Thousands of years of blood and death on the grasslands have made every grassland man a first-rate strategist.  Before launching the final assault, Niu Phosphorus prepared hundreds of sets of Song army clothes and armor, and disguised himself and hundreds of confidants as the Song army. When his cavalry troops charged into the Song army's formation from the front with great fanfare, they were waiting.  In the formation, Niu Phosphorus took advantage of the chaos of the battle between the two armies and sneaked into the Song army's battle line with hundreds of people. If there were only 11,000 people from the Shenwu rear army on the battlefield at this time, each would stand according to their position.  , if they had not moved, then this abrupt small force that violated military orders might soon be discovered by the Song army.  But Zheng Yunming and Bai Yijie's move to mobilize their troops forward at this moment gave Niu Phosphorus an opportunity. It is common sense to organize reserve teams to move forward when the enemy cavalry makes a large-scale assault. The chaos caused by this is really understandable, but it is also  It was precisely because of this small extenuating circumstance that Niu Phosphorus was able to seize the opportunity to get close to Zheng Yunming.  There is no doubt that the arrival of a large number of troops from the Jiangjiang Zhijiushi Department and the Jinghu Reserve Army has added to the chaos. When the troops and horses from different areas and different units are mixed together and advancing in a bustling manner, even the troops who have always been observing  Zheng Yunming, who is known for his meticulousness, did not realize that danger was rapidly approaching him.  And when he realized it, those Mongolian warriors full of murderous intent and fearless of death were only fifty steps away from him.  Although there are more than a thousand guards and soldiers of the Governor's Mansion separated in the middle, this is by no means an inaccessible distance.  Niu Phosphorus stared at the dignitary wearing gold plate armor under the Qingluo umbrella in the distance. It was obvious that this was the number one figure in the Southern Dynasties that the Mongols had been longing for for twenty years but could not successfully hunt.  The man who shouted on behalf of the Mongol Khan in his dream that he wanted to take his head, the legendary hero who blocked the Mongol whirlwind at his feet, was now only fifty steps away from him.  His eyes widened, his teeth clenched, and he strode towards Zheng Yunming.  The guards and soldiers standing behind the antlers who were the first to come to their senses shouted in unison, each drew their swords and formed a human wall to block the way of this group of assassins.  Not willing to tangle with them, Niu Phosphorus stepped forward, wielded two sharp iron-steel knives in his hands, and instantly cut off the head of a guard standing in front of him. That guard turned out to be skilled in martial arts.  A veteran of Jinghu, he had been beheading many Mongolian troops for many years on the battlefield. Unexpectedly, the Mongolian general he faced this time did not even have a chance to fight back. Before withdrawing his Niphos knives, he swiped towards the left.  Swinging, he cut off the arm of a guard on the side.
