Yang Yizhong saw in the telescope that the golden soldiers led by Han Chang were rolling along the river bank.
Although these Jin soldiers are all bald and braided, Yang Yizhong, who has dealt with Jin soldiers for many years, knows that these soldiers are not Jurchen Tatar soldiers.
Except for some centurions, thousands captains and other leaders, they are basically composed of Han soldiers.
The "signing army".
Seeing this, Yang Yizhong sneered: "Er Tatar Han Chang, today next year will be your death anniversary."
Then he ordered: "Pass my military order and form an attack formation."
The Han army quickly changed its marching column into an offensive formation and attacked Han Chang's Jin soldiers amidst the sound of drums and trumpets.
At this time, Han Chang ordered to stop the advance and instead asked the Jin soldiers to change into a defensive formation.
A general in Yang Yizhong reminded: "General Qi, there are no cavalry in the Jin army, which is too abnormal.
Generally speaking, no matter where the Jin army is stationed, there will be more or less cavalry.
Even if there is no cavalry, it will be equipped with cavalry.
Iron Buddha, ordinary cavalry will also be deployed.
They will not attack my flank with the cavalry already lying far away when the infantry of the two armies are clashing."
After hearing this, Yang Yizhong felt that it made sense, and passed down two military orders.
One was to send dozens of reconnaissance cavalry to conduct reconnaissance within five miles of the perimeter, and the other was that the musketeers behind the military formation were not allowed to fire during the attack. , keep the loaded ammunition of the musket in hand.
Han Chang saw the Han army getting closer and closer, and his mood was like watching a wild beast heading towards his trap.
When the two sides were less than a hundred steps apart, dense arrows appeared in the air in front of the two armies' formations, flying back and forth.
The musketeers in front of the Han army had long held the large shields on their backs, and now held them in front of them.
The soldiers in the rear had already galvanized their horses to deploy to the right wing.
On the one hand, they were avoiding the arrows, and on the other hand, they were trying to bypass the Jin soldiers' left wing and attack from the side.
The Gothic-like armor on the Han army's spearmen was cold-rolled and molded by a punch machine.
It shone in the early summer sunshine, making people unable to open their eyes.
Han Chang was also surprised by such sophisticated armor.
He shouted in his heart: How high a level of craftsmanship was required to build such a set of armor, and how long it would take him.
Where did the Han army come from with so many skilled craftsmen?
When the two armies were less than a hundred steps apart, the Han army's formation suddenly stopped advancing.
The soldiers in front opened their shield brackets and placed them on the ground.
Then they squatted on the ground and placed their muskets on the shields.
When Han Chang was wondering what tricks the Han army was going to play, a burst of white smoke suddenly rose from behind the big shields, and then a series of crisp loud noises roared in Han Chang's ears, which shocked Han Chang.
Many of the sword and shield players in the first row in front of their formation seemed to have been pushed from a distance, fell backwards to the ground, and never got up again.
But the shield wall formed by the oars and shields in front of them seemed to be intact.
Han Chang exclaimed: "What kind of witchcraft did Nanmanzi use?"
Standing behind the formation, he naturally couldn't see the small holes that popped up on the oar shield.
The Jin soldiers suddenly panicked.
Fortunately, the Han army did not cast such "magic" continuously.
After the musketeers fired their guns, the Han army continued to stay in place, waiting for them to reload ammunition.
The chaotic Jin Bing army gradually returned to calm.
But a moment later, the loud noise of white smoke and the pungent smell of gunpowder smoke appeared on the battlefield again, and many Jin Army soldiers fell down behind the oars and shields in front of the Jin Army formation.
The Jin Bing army formation that had just returned to normal became chaotic again.
The general reminded Han Chang, who was still in a state of shock: "Capital, the Nanmanzi cavalry has come up from our left wing."
Han Chang then returned to normal and ordered: "The whole army is in a circular defense, we only need to block it In front of them, Tiefutu and Guaizima will surround their right and rear sides, and on their left is the Huai River.
As long as our iron cavalry arrives in time, it will be the end of these Southern Barbarians."
While he was saying this, a scout came from behind the Han army's formation on the opposite side.
He was still a few battles away from Yang Yizhong and shouted: "Report that a large number of Jin soldiers and cavalry have been found three miles away, heading towards us."
The army is coming" "Tell me clearly, are the Jin soldiers and cavalry the ordinary Jin army cavalry or the Tatar cavalry and iron pagoda?"

"They all have them.
There are three to four thousand riders in total, of which the Kaizi Horse and Tiefu Tu account for about half."
Yang Yizhong's face suddenly darkened.
He immediately ordered the musketeers to reload and stop shooting, and quickly recalled the Beiwei that had been thrown out.
Then, he raised his telescope again to observe the surrounding terrain, trying to find a location that was easy to defend.
Han Chang looked at the Han army's cavalry retreating amidst the sound of gongs, and said in surprise: Could it be that Yang Yizhong discovered that our army's iron cavalry was gone?
Three miles away, Yang Yizhong was already unable to fly.
Then he found that the Han army was moving to a higher ground that was easy to defend.
It was obvious that Yang Yizhong was trying to set up a defensive formation on this high ground to hold on.
"Quick, the whole army advances, intercept them, don't let them form a formation."
Han Chang ordered hurriedly.
But at this time, the chaotic military formation of these golden soldiers had not yet completely returned to normal.
Under the urging of the general leaders at all levels, they began to move forward slowly.
In the end, before the Jin army arrived, the Han army had transformed into a hollow square formation, and only about two hundred Beiwei cavalry had time to retreat into the square formation.
They raised their swords and rode their horses to charge, and immediately broke into the Jin army's formation that had just surrounded the Han army.
They slashed left and right with their swords in an attempt to clear a bloody path.
After these Beiwei cavalry rushed into the Jin army's formation, they were intercepted by a large number of Jin soldiers.
After losing speed, they were thrown under their horses one by one with random spears and spears, and hacked to death with random knives.
Yang Yizhong took a bad look and quickly ordered the flag soldiers to send out flag signals, asking the Beiwei cavalry to retreat in other directions on their own.
But among the rebellious army, there was no chance for these Beiwei cavalry to see this military order.
Fortunately, a centurion acted accordingly.
Although he did not see Yang Yizhong's military order, he made a decisive decision and issued the retreat order on his own initiative.
More than a hundred Beiwei riders quickly withdrew toward the upper reaches of the Huai River amidst the shrieking bamboo whistles one after another.
Soon the sky to the north was filled with dust, and the cavalry of the Jin Army lurking far outside arrived.
Han Qiang asked the Jin soldiers surrounding Yang Yizhong on three sides to spread out on one side to make way for the Jin soldiers and cavalry to attack the Han army's formation, while the other two sides of the infantry stood guard with shields.
Looking at the rolling Jin Army cavalry, a centurion of the musketeers responsible for frontal defense ordered the musketeers on his side to prepare for three-stage shooting.
But this was quickly overruled by the commander of the phalanx, who demanded a dense volley.
His reason is simple.
The front is now very wide, and the number of musketeers on the front is not large relative to the width of the front.
Then the three-shot shot has no practical significance.
There is no difference between killing thirty people in one row and killing thirty people in three batches.
On the contrary, the former may have a greater psychological deterrent to the enemy than the latter.
At this time, the iron pagoda with men and horses in armor took the lead, pressing down on the Han army like a row of iron towers
