The March wind does not have a trace of chill, and it feels like itchy on the face. The flowers on the roadside have faded a little, the willow leaves sprout, and the catkins are flying all over the sky. The weather is very good, without a trace of dark clouds, and the sun shines on the body, making people feel lazy.

Jia Kui stood on the tower, looking at the military formation that stretched for several miles below, quietly without any sound. Not far away, the Khitan camp intercepted the road from Datong Mansion, with flags flying and people coming and going frequently.

The Khitan's forward had arrived the day before yesterday, and Jia Kui did not move and watched them camp and set up camp. Since yesterday morning, the Khitan army arrived one after another and began to camp in the north. Looking at the increasingly complex flags, Jia Kui guessed that Yelu Hongji might have arrived.

Today, the Khitan should have attacked. They came from Datong Mansion and couldn't stay here for long, so it would be good to end one day earlier. Now, commanding the war is very different from before. When I destroyed Nong Zhigao, because the vanguard Sun Jie was killed unexpectedly, Jia Kui ignored Di Qing's military order and immediately led his troops to attack and stabilize the situation. He was the biggest contributor to that battle. At that time, the army was concentrated on the battlefield and everything could be seen clearly. Now, due to the limitation of artillery range, the two armies were far apart, and everything was completely different.

I don’t know how long I watched it, but Jia Kui saw the Khitans in the north starting to form a whole formation, knowing that they were coming soon.

Yelu Huali rode on a horse, watching the generals around him gallop left and right, and began to line up, with a heavy face. He knew that the Song army was good at using artillery, and the place where the Khitan army went down to the camp was several miles away from the Song army. The arrangement of the Song army was too far away, and where could he see clearly? When he arrived here the day before yesterday, Yelu Huali wanted to bring his confidants to the front of the formation to see the Song army's formation, but he didn't expect to meet the Song army's reconnaissance cavalry. The two sides fought in a short battle, and the Khitan lost several generals before he retreated safely. After that, whenever a small Khitan army came forward, the Song army was always chasing and harassing, and he could not fulfill his wish. Until now, when he was about to go to war, Yelu Huali couldn't figure out the deployment of the Song army.

After the array was completed, the general stepped forward and reported with his hands crossed.

Yelu Huali let out a long breath and waved his hand and said loudly: "Start! Stop a mile in front of the Song army and wait for the military order!"

The general agreed and ran the horse in front of the formation to convey Yelu Huali's military orders.

Due to the restrictions on artillery fire, the enemy could only stop one mile away in front of the Song army when attacking, and then organize an attack. Although when fighting against Chongqing Yuan, Chongqing Yuan's artillery basically had no ability to fight in field, and the Khitan army did not have this habit. However, when fighting against the Song army, they still knew that they had to avoid the Song army's artillery fire. Before the war started, Yelu Hongji emphasized this point.

With his 10,000 troops in his army, Yelu Huali slowly forced the Song army. He got a mile away and stopped.

Jia Kui watched the Khitan army get closer and closer through the telescope in his hand. He couldn't help feeling a little nervous and his lips were dry.

The Khitan army, a mile in front of the Song army formation, thousands of people began to gather. They were not riding horses, wearing heavy armor, holding swords and guns, and looked very powerful. This is the experience summarized by the Khitan and Dangxiang after Du Zhongxiao of Huhua's Du Zhongxiao annihilated the White Horse Army. Since they would definitely encounter flowering bullets during the attack, they would be chaotic and would not get rid of horses. Flowering bullets rely on fragments to kill, and heavy armor can effectively protect them.

Yelu Huali looked up at the Song army formation ahead, with a cold look and shouted loudly: "Attack!"

A horn sounded, and with the sound of drums, the first batch of three thousand armors began to slowly move towards the Song army. They were not fast, step by step, extremely firm. The Khitans had carefully studied the war between Du Zhongxiao on Hequ Road and made the choice they thought were the most favorable.

After moving forward for more than a hundred steps, the Song army did not move, neither fired artillery nor sent troops to fight. The attacking Khitan soldiers only felt their heartbeat faster and their mouths were dry. After walking for this period of time, they slowly couldn't feel the tension.

After moving forward for dozens of steps, I suddenly heard three thrusts from the Song army's position. Three fireworks rushed into the air and exploded. With the three sounds, the Song army's position sounded roaring and smoke came out.

As the shells hit the sky, the Khitan army flew with flesh and blood for a moment, and countless people fell down.

The front general raised the long sword in his hand and shouted loudly: "Run! You have to go forward. If there are reviewers, kill him and decide!"

After saying that, he rushed towards the Song army position ahead with the soldiers behind him, regardless of the situation.

The Song army's artillery continued to fall. Although Khitan soldiers continued to fall, the formation was not messy and rushed forward.

The Song army's artillery had a special commander, and unless Jia Kui had an emergency military order, it would be commanded by the commander. Seeing that the fragments of the flowering bullet did not cause much damage to the heavy armored Khitan soldiers, he decisively ordered most of them to replace the solid bullets.

Seeing the soldiers rushing across the center line, Yelu Huali said in a deep voice: "The second team has come out! You have to move forward, not review, the reviewer will be killed! If any soldiers in the front line dare to retreat, they will be killed!"

The generals on one side sang Nuo, and the second team of two thousand people began to line up. Soon, with a horn, the army rushed forward.

Jia Kui saw it in the telescope, his face was heavy, and his hand holding the telescope was trembling slightly. Behind the tens of thousands of Khitan troops were still in formation. Obviously, he wanted to rely on the ten thousand people to disperse the Song army's formation and surge up again.

Faced with the Song army's artillery, the Khitans chose the simplest and most direct method. They were not afraid of losses and rushed over and fought with the Song army in hand-to-hand combat. The artillery was worse than that, so what if there were no muskets? As long as the two armies faced each other, it would ultimately depend on whose sword was more sharp.

Jia Kui estimated the number of people who lost the Khitan troops. They had already crossed the middle line, with 3,000 troops and 5,600 troops, and the remaining number was still quite large. Although the remaining half of the distance was even more difficult, it was estimated that there would still be one to two thousand people who rushed to the front of the Song army in the end. These soldiers who crawled out of the gates of hell cannot be compared with ordinary soldiers, and they must be more fierce.

How many people can the last musketeers kill again? Jia Kui was unsure. Once the military formation was dispersed, it would cause very serious consequences. Although the Song army was prepared long ago, it would still suffer great losses.

Putting down the telescope, Jia Kui said to the commander's personal soldiers: "Order a thousand iron armors to prepare for the direction where the Khitans rushed. If the Khitans fight with the musketeers, the iron armor will come forward immediately! Order them to clean up the Khitan soldiers who rushed over in the shortest time! Never allow the Khitans to rush up from one place! Khitans will kill tens or twenty thousand people, and I don't believe how many Khitans will come to rush!"

The personal soldiers took the order and sang the promise and quickly lit the flag next to them. The Song army's flag language was very simple, just a series of military orders.

When the Khitan front line rushed across the center line, the second team behind had already set off. Although the Song army's artillery continued to fall to the ground, the situation was much better than the first formation. A mile away, the Song army's artillery could not cover it, so they could only give priority to attacking the nearest troops.

When the Khitan army entered within fifty steps of the Song army, the Song army's musketeers opened fire. The Khitan soldiers who passed through the artillery blockade fell one by one. They were not at all distracted, holding swords and guns, and under the leadership of the generals, they firmly rushed towards the Song army. This was the most elite Khitan army, and everyone was determined to die and killed without hesitation.

The Song army slowly retreated, and slowly a gap appeared in the position. At this time, there were only more than a thousand people left in the Khitan army. At the end of their strength, they were overjoyed when they saw the Song army retreating. They used all their strength, and a shocking shout of killing sounds sounded.

At this moment, behind the Song army's musketeers, an iron armored figure appeared. It rushed forward like a moving mountain. The long sword in his hand shone with a cold light. The entire military formation was like a blood-devouring beast.

The Khitan army was blocked by the iron armored army and could no longer move forward. The Song army musketeers next to them kept shooting at them. People fell down one by one, and the ground was filled with corpses.

Jia Kui saw it from the telescope, turned his head gently, and looked at the second group of Khitan soldiers attacking. These were real elites, rushing up with flesh and blood, and the musketeers could not be completely eliminated. Fighting with them with bayonets is not that they can't fight, but that they can't get it. Today is the first day. Although the Khitans attacked fiercely, they should have the intention of temptation. The brigade of military formations behind did not rush up.

The iron armored army formation was like a ruthless millstone. With the cooperation of the musketeers, it quickly blocked the gap in the musketeers.
