Since the war was about to begin, the atmosphere in the entire Xiangyang Prefecture City began to become tense.

From time to time, officers and soldiers patrol the streets, and the outer city also began to train frequently. Even outside the moat, troops were deployed.

Xu Xinyi also began to become busy, often not going back to the house and slept in the government office or military camp...

At the same time, Lin'an Prefecture also sent some "military-building" eunuchs to come, which was considered to be the front-line supervision of the war.

Two months later, the Jin army had crossed the border of the Song Dynasty from the northern line and came towards Xiangyang City in a fierce manner.

On the tower of the outer city of Xiangyang City, Xu Xinyi and Wu Yun stood side by side, looking at the distance in the sky together.

There was nowhere to vaguely see the rolling smoke and dust, obviously a large number of people were approaching quickly... The scouts in the city had already been released, and after spying on the enemy's situation, they kept sending back the situation of the Jin soldiers' advance.

"There are five hundred Tiefutu, five hundred crooked horses. Five hundred conventional cavalry, one thousand elite infantry. The remaining three thousand five miscellaneous soldiers. I thought it was just a small fight, but I didn't expect that the Jin Kingdom even dispatched Tiefutu and the crooked horses."

Xu Xinyi looked at Xinbao who was sent back by the scout in his hand, frowned and said in a low tone.

Although he read a lot of military books, he often discussed combat military tactics with his soldiers in the barracks, and had experience as a Privy Council. But this was the first time he really faced the battlefield! He commanded the army to fight with the enemy country.

Wu Yun patted his shoulder: "Don't be nervous, you can. After all, you are not a purely weak scholar. Not only do you know the military affairs, you can also be considered a master. What's more, the Jin Dynasty did not dispatch the strongest Zhongxiao Army this time, which means that it is not crazy yet."

In fact, most people know the most about the aces and elite troops of the Jin Kingdom. They must be "Iron Pagoda" and "Guizima".

The Guiller Horse is the name of the main cavalry of the Jin Dynasty by the Song people. It is a light or medium cavalry. It is arranged on both wings of the army and can make full use of its high mobility and the huge impact force generated by the group charge to circumvent the enemy's troops and then assault.

Tiefutu is the nickname of the Jurchen heavy cavalry of the Jin Dynasty, also known as the Iron Tower Soldier. It describes the heavy armored knights dressed like an iron tower. They have heavy armor and strong attack ability.

Unlike the mobile tactics of encircling the two wings of the crooked horse, Tiefutu’s mission is mainly to attack the front, and its role is like a tank in modern warfare.

Indeed, at the beginning and early and middle stages of the Jin Dynasty, these two elite troops fought south and north, and they were indeed powerful!

In addition to having suffered a great loss at Yue Fei, he has almost never lost.

But in the late period of the confrontation between Song and Jin dynasties, with the strong rise of Mongolia, the two aces, Tiefutu and Guaizima, were often beaten by the Mongolians...

In order to fight against the powerful Mongolian, the Jin Kingdom, which had not yet been exhausted, created a stronger "Zhongxiao Army" - the combat effectiveness of this army was very outrageous and was also the foundation of the defense of the late Jin Kingdom.

This time, in order to put pressure on the Song State, the Jin State sent troops to Xiangyang, and there was no Zhongxiao Army among them. This also shows that both sides were not yet able to defeat the death - after all, they were beaten by Mongolia and came to find a weaker opponent to vent their anger and blackmail.

Wu Yun also talked happily as he looked at the Jin army getting closer and closer.

"The tactics of the use of military forces by the Jurchens in the Jin Dynasty first use Iron Futu to open the way to resist the possible attacks of the opponent's cavalry. The rear often uses infantry as the main soldiers, advancing all the way, and at the same time relying on the crooked horses to make detours and side attacks to surround the enemy."

Xu Xinyi nodded in agreement and said in a deep voice: "So the core of our victory is to defeat the opponent's heavy armored knights who were opening the way, and pay attention to the crutch horses attacking from both wings. I have learned from General Yue's "Wu Mu's Successful Letter" and trained heavy axe infantry specially used to break Tiefu Tu. As for the main infantry behind, they are talking head-on by strength."

After hearing what his brother said, Wu Yun felt relieved that he had made a lot of preparations.

However, it is one thing in theory, but it is another to actually do it!

For example, Wu Yun knew that the reason why the Yue family army was strong was to target the restraint of the Jin Dynasty's ace army. However, the soldiers were of high quality and were fearless...

Although these soldiers in Xiangyang City now adopt the modern training method provided by Wu Yun, their personal qualities and obedience are much stronger than ordinary Song soldiers. But he still has no idea whether they can compare with the Yue family army.

For example, the heavy axe infantrymen, their method of cracking the iron pagoda is very simple: chop iron armor on top and horse legs on the bottom!

Holding a solid shield, paired with a hemp knife and a heavy axe with a long handle, in combination with tacit understanding.

These cannot be trained by knowing the tactics of war. They need real iron-blooded fighting on the battlefield to gradually grow up...

And this time, the small-scale attack of the Jin Kingdom was a practical exercise!

"Brother Xu, don't be too stressed, please command well. Isn't there any other me besides your soldiers?"

After saying that, Wu Yun jumped and used his light skills, and clusters of light red smoke and fire clouds rose under his feet.

Holding him up, he floated from the city tower to the plain outside the moat below, like an immortal descending to earth!

Seeing this, the soldiers of Xiangyang lined up below cheered in unison and their morale was greatly boosted.

They all knew that there was a person who was good at martial arts around Lord Xu, the Xiangyang Defense Commander.

Soon, the Jin army had arrived at the battlefield...

Sure enough, the heavy armored cavalry riding on the tall horses in the front were like black iron towers, with steel barbs at the joints such as elbows. Just visually, it gave people a shocking impact!

Even though the most powerful Jin Dynasty was the Zhongxiao Army at this time, the fierce power of Tiefutu was still there.

As soon as they appeared, the soldiers of the Song Kingdom around them became a little turbulent and seemed to feel a sense of timidity.

It was also the first time that Wu Yun had truly gone to the battlefield. He felt this solemn and depressed aura and the opponent's power, and he thought to himself: "No wonder on the real battlefield, ordinary martial arts masters are not very useful and cannot play a decisive role at all. The uniform power of real elite soldiers alone is enough to make ordinary masters afraid."

However, Wu Yun is not an "ordinary" martial arts master - he is the number one in the world with more than five great masters!

Facing the Tiefutu, which was like a torrent of steel, Wu Yun suddenly raised his true energy to his throat, and then exhaled and opened his voice. The sound shook all over the world and came into the ears of every soldier in the Song Dynasty.

"Everyone, the Jin people have been bullying me in the Song Dynasty for a long time. Today's battle is the first battle to cleanse shame. Your superiors are all in the army. Your wives and children are all in the city. Today's battle can only win, not lose. The heavy axe soldiers prepare, and follow me to meet the legendary Tiefutu for a while."

Wu Yun's voice also contained a wisp of true energy, which was transmitted into the ears of Song soldiers around him, and there was also a stimulating effect. Suddenly, a trace of timidity just now was filled with passion.

Wu Yun led the way and rushed directly forward!

Seeing this, the other Song soldiers followed closely behind.

On the other hand, the Iron Pagoda soldiers from the Jin Dynasty felt a little confused when they saw that the Song infantrymen did not dodge or dodge, and rushed towards them.

Especially, the man who rushed to the front was actually wearing a gorgeous green gown. He didn't seem to be here to fight, but he was like a scholar who was preparing to attend a poetry meeting and recite poems and essays!?

"Is Song Ren crazy?"

This was a subconscious thought that emerged from the "Tiefutu" people. Then, the corners of their mouths hidden under the hideous helmets curled up and showed a cruel smile.
