Before this war, Zhao Tai fought against Mongolia many times.

Because Zhao Tai was always at a disadvantage, he had to use some methods and tactics to surpass the Mongolian army.

To this end, Zhao Tai manufactured a variety of firearms and used formations to restrain the Mongolian cavalry.

These methods worked well when Mongolia first faced them, helping Zhao Tai win many victories.

The difference between this battle and the past is that it is difficult for Zhao Tai to come up with any new tricks.

The improvement of war methods and tactics is related to the innovation of military technology and equipment.

The current technology of Qi is in an era when cold weapons are at their peak and hot weapons are just beginning to reach their toes.

Zhao Tai had basically used what was available before, so this time he could only rely on his strength to fight.

This time Zhao Tai came through the mountain road. The only artillery that could win was too heavy and heavy to carry. If Zhao Tai wanted to defeat the Mongolian army, he had to attack head-on.

At this time, the battle flags of the Qi army were flying under the banner of the Qi army. Zhao Tai watched the Qi army march forward with heavy steps and braved the rain of arrows, causing Wo Kuotai to send heavy infantry troops to block it. He could not help but clenched his fists and said, "Liu Dun, be sure to do this."

Defeat the enemy who blocks your path!"

The Mongolian army attacked with heavy steps, but unlike the uniform armor of the Qi army, their armor styles were not uniform.

Although Mongolia attaches great importance to craftsmen, their production capacity is still not as good as that of Qi. Armor cannot be mass-produced, and many armor stomachs are captured.

The Mongolian army has armors passed down from Mongolia, Xixia, Jin, and even Liao.

Although these armored stomachs have different styles, their defensive capabilities are actually quite good. There is no qualitative difference between them and the Qi army's armored stomachs. It's just that one needs to be knocked a bit more, and the other one needs to be knocked a little more.

The Mongolian army came out in heavy steps. They were wearing iron armor and holding bones, axes, and maces, and blocked the Qi army head-on.

Liu Dun saw the heavy steps of the Mongolian army colliding head-on. He picked up the bone and smashed the arrow shafts on the shield. Then he roared and led the Qi army to run quickly, and finally slammed into the heavy steps of the Mongolian army.

The Qi army marched with about 6,000 men, while the Mongolian army numbered tens of thousands. The two armies collided with each other, and the Qi army, forming a dense formation, actually knocked the Mongolian army back.

The two armies collided violently. The Mongolian army jumped up while running and smashed the Qi army's shield with its body.

The Qi army pressed their bodies against the shields, forming a tight shield wall. The soldiers in front picked up blunt weapons and smashed the Mongolian army's helmets. A fierce fight broke out between the two armies.

In front of the formation of the two armies, there were loud noises. The soldiers suddenly collided with each other, and then faced each other, face to face, and attacked with weapons.

Both sides were armed with iron cans. Liu Dun waved his hammer and hit the Mongolian army's iron pocket with a hammer, which immediately dented the helmet and caused the Mongolian army to vomit blood and die.

Such a close fight made the soldiers on both sides feel soaring with adrenaline. The banging of blunt weapons around them, the shouts and wailings of enemies and comrades stimulated the soldiers on both sides, turning them into ferocious beasts, waving their hands violently.

Hitting the weapon will definitely kill the opponent.

At this time, the advantage of the Qi army's well-equipped equipment was revealed. The Qi army knocked down the Mongolian army with one hammer, but the Mongolian army had to hit it twice to knock the Qi army down.

Under the banner of the Mongolian army, Wokuotai looked solemn. The Mongolian army had an advantage in strength, but could not repel the Qi army.

Seeing that the Qi army's heavy step was still advancing, he did not hesitate at all and was unwilling to give the Qi army a chance to get closer. "Send three thousand light troops on each side to outflank this heavy step for me."

Ogedai did not send out elite cavalry, but chose to send out 6,000 light infantry.

Because it is difficult for cavalry to cause damage to heavy infantry, and the cavalry is mainly Mongolian, Wokuotai cannot afford casualties.

At this time, the central army of the Mongolian army issued an order, and Mongolia sent out a battalion of light infantry with mainly spears on each side.

If these infantrymen were in front of Chongbu, they would definitely be cut down, but if they were to outflank them from behind, the situation would be different.

Heavy infantry wears heavy armor and does not change direction. They can take advantage of their mobility and flexibility to attack with long weapons and fight hand-to-hand without heavy footwork.

Two Mongolian armies came out from the left and right, and quickly threatened the Qi army from the flanks and rear. After they appeared, they continuously thrust with their spears and attacked the Qi army, making it impossible for the Qi army to advance forward with all its strength.

"Okay!" Wokuotai, under the banner of Dajun, shouted, "Hold them, and it won't take long before they are exhausted!"

Under the Qi army's banner, Wang Bin shouted: "Your Majesty, Chongbu is trapped!"

Zhao Tai observed the battlefield with sharp eyes. The Mongolian 50,000 infantry troops deployed about 16,000, and the 50,000 elite cavalry on both wings did not move at all after the war started.

In this battle, according to Zhao Tai's plan, the troops that could come to participate in the battle included the 60,000 infantry troops he personally led, as well as the remaining 6,000 or 7,000 defenders in Langshan, and the 20,000 troops who came from the south.

cavalry.

This can definitely participate in the battle. The other armies further away, based on the speed at which both sides invest their troops, may not dare to fight in a decisive battle.

As a result, the Qi army's strength was close to 90,000, which was not much different from the Mongolian army.

Zhao Tai looked at the outflanked heavy steps, then looked at the Mongolian cavalry moving on both sides, clenched his fists and said: "Guiyi Army, press forward!"

The war drums of the Chinese army beat, and the Qi army entered the infantry formation, with 10,000 infantrymen holding sabers and shields in front, lances in the middle, and bows and arrows behind, advancing toward the battlefield.

Under the banner of the Mongolian army, Wo Kuotai saw Zhao Tai increasing his troops again, his cheeks twitched, but he did not respond immediately.

In this battle, Wokuotai fought very conservatively. Not only did he not use the advantage of cavalry to strike first after the war started, he also focused on responding to the Qi army's attack.

The Mongolian army invested 16,000 men on the battlefield, and Zhao Tai also invested the same number of troops.

The heavy infantry of the two armies fought fiercely, and as the 10,000 Guiyi troops joined the battle group, the Mongolian light soldiers who originally attacked the heavy infantry could only fight with the overthrown Guiyi army.

This is the Guiyi army with swords and shields in front and archers at the back. The soldiers in the front blocked with shields and stabbed with long spears. The archers behind bent their bows and shot. The arrows missed the heads of their own soldiers and fell into the Mongolian army's formation.

Killed and wounded a Mongolian army.

In the middle of the battlefield, the two armies were fighting in equal numbers, but the Mongolian infantry was at a disadvantage.

Wokuotai tightened his grip on the horse's reins and said through gritted teeth, "Zhao Tai, is this how you have the courage to challenge me for a decisive battle?"

Wokuotai was riding on his horse, watching the battlefield with a pair of eagle eyes, capturing the changes on the battlefield.

At this time, there were 16,000 men on each side, strangled on the battlefield. Both armies suffered heavy casualties. Soldiers fell to the ground every time they took a breath.

Looking at the fierce battle between the two armies, Wokuotai's expression gradually became serious.

Because if he continues to strangle like this, even if he defeats Zhao Tai, the Mongolian army will suffer heavy losses.

The battle started at noon, and an hour passed quickly. The two sides still maintained their determination and did not easily increase their troops. The infantry of the two armies were still fighting bloody battles in the middle. The two armies roughly maintained a one-to-one battle loss, and many people died.

Thousands of people.

At this time, under the bows and arrows of the Guiyi Army soldiers and the spear thrusts, six thousand Mongolian spearmen were forced to the two wings. With his back safe, Liu Dun roared again, "Charge forward!"

"It's better to keep retreating!" Under the banner of the Mongolian army, a Mongolian general saw that the situation was not right and reminded him loudly.
