In fact, Zunren knew very well that if the Song Dynasty really wanted to kill Japan, he would not be able to resist the attack of the Song Dynasty at all. What he wanted now was to defeat the Song army once, and then force the Song army to sit down and negotiate with him to gain some time for Japan.

This is not impossible. After all, the Song Dynasty is too far away from here. If he could find a step to let the Song Dynasty descend after a victory, the war might have stopped temporarily.

Zunren concentrated 60,000 Japanese troops for this war. This number seemed a bit pitiful, but it was already all the strength in his hands. What was even more pitiful was the equipment in the hands of those soldiers. When they faced the attacks of the Song army in the post-Suhu Emperor Emperor, they also had samurai swords and at least spears.

But now, many of the 60,000 people around Zunren can only find a piece of wood or bamboo, and sharpen it as their weapons. They also have military qualities, and these 60,000 people are far from meeting the requirements of the warriors in the past.

Musashi is the most unqualified samurai. When the Song army first landed in Japan, he was not even qualified to take a knife. But this time he was actually a small leader, commanding more than 500 so-called soldiers.

This does not mean that he grew up in the war. On the contrary, after the Japanese failed, Musashi surrendered to the Song army and became a Shunmin against Ma Guo. A while ago, Zunren fought back, but Musashi did not run away, so he picked up his weapons and helped Zunren fight.

He didn't want to fight, he just wanted to live, even if he was ridiculed like before, there was no problem. Can he survive this time? Musashi didn't know that looking at the moment the Song army opposite, he felt that there was nothing to fight in this battle. Compared with the teams around him, the Song army was armed to the teeth.

His hands began to tremble, slightly shaking.

Some people are naturally suitable for the battlefield, while others are born unable to go to the battlefield. Musashi probably belongs to the latter. It is not the first time he has experienced such a scene, but he is afraid every time.

Musashi did not receive the order to attack, and the Song soldiers opposite did not move. They were setting up formations. Musashi could see with his eyes that a Song man actually set up a table behind the battlefield, sitting next to the table eating and drinking.

There were two Japanese nv boys serving him next to him. The man talked to someone opposite him from time to time, and sometimes he would use his hands to go to the nv people around the building. The two nv people smiled, and when they smiled, their bodies always sticking to the person's body, which made Musashi very envious. He also wanted to live that kind of life.

There were also some light cavalry of the Song army galloping around the battlefield. Their number was not large, about forty people. However, they were very bold. Some even rushed to the Japanese people with horses and took an arrow. Before the Japanese people could react, they left quickly.

Musashi knew that the enemy was provoking. Whenever someone was surrounded by those cavalrymen, the Song people on the opposite side would cheer, but the Japanese had no choice.

In Musashi's eyes, the person who sat on a chair drinking sake, hugged the nv people, and ate the fried beans brought from the Song Dynasty was Chen Yuan. The person sitting opposite Chen Yuan was Zeng Gongliang.

The last time their base was attacked by the Liao people, Zeng Gongliang lost a lot of the research data, and some projects had to be started over.

This made him very unhappy. In Zeng Gongliang's opinion, if the defenders had held on the ground, they would have hoped to persevere until reinforcements arrived with the island's defense settings. But how could those guards dare to take such risks?

They just made simple resistance to ensure the safety of researchers such as Zeng Gongliang and others, and then burned down some necessary things, and some of them were even left to the hands of the Liao people.

This made Zeng Gongliang very dissatisfied.

What made him even more dissatisfied was that Chen Yuan actually commended the general who was responsible for defending and did not hold him accountable for not resisting resolutely.

So this time, when standing in front of Chen Yuan, Zeng Gongliang's face looked very bad.

Chen Yuan looked like a hippie and smiled, hugged a Japanese nv son himself, and pushed the other to Zeng Gongliang: "Sir Zeng, the matter has passed, I know you are very dissatisfied, but for me, for the Song Dynasty, it is our best ending to be safe. If you are gone, can you study it again?"

When the Japanese nv saw Chen Yuan pushing her to Zeng Gongliang, he rubbed her towards Zeng Gongliang. Zeng Gongliang was not interested at all now. He waved her to leave and stared at Chen Yuan: "You are easy to say. After the data is lost, a lot of work will be started from scratch. Just say that you should take this musket team this time. We already have a way to make the musket's shè faster. Like what you said last time, you also had a little look on the back, and this time it was all over."

Chen Yuan picked up the teacup on the table: "Okay, can I be wrong? I'll compensate Mr. Zeng here. You don't care about my villain's life. Let's put this matter down first. I will bring you here this time to let you see the situation of this musket on the battlefield with your own eyes, and it will also facilitate you to make further improvements."

Zeng Gongliang also knew in his heart that Chen Yuan was doing his best, but they valued their research results very much, just like a literati valued honor and a soldier valued victory. Compared with the lost and damaged data, Zeng Gongliang's fortunes were nothing.

But even if he is dissatisfied, the matter is already like this. Chen Yuan apologized now, and he can only turn this page over. The relationship between the two parties is still good. For a little bit of conceptual differences, he will not turn against each other.

Zeng Gongliang threw his eyes on the battlefield and said softly: "The cavalry and cavalry seem to be méng ancient horses."

Chen Yuan smiled and said, "Yes, this was specially transported from Méng Gu. Lord Zeng also looked at these cavalrymen. The emperor is going to form a cavalry team. You have to worry about their weapons and equipment, as well as war horse equipment."

Zeng Gongliang nodded: "This is the responsibility, but I just don't know where the emperor bought the horse this time? How many cavalry soldiers should be formed?"

"The emperor wants to form 500,000 cavalry this time, and it is not enough to buy anywhere. The only way is to send people to contact the places where horses are produced. At present, the emperor is more war horses from the Western Regions. Those horses are tall and have good physical strength, which are very suitable for long-distance raids."

Zeng Gongliang was really surprised: "Five hundred thousand cavalry? Is this number too big?"

When many people in the Song Dynasty heard Renzong say this number, they also reacted the same as Zeng Gongliang. After all, the military expenditure of 500,000 cavalry was much higher than that of 500,000 infantry. The huge demand for war horses alone was enough to cost the Song Dynasty huge amount.

"Now that we have our own horse farm, I think it might be better to raise horses by ourselves." Zeng Gongliang expressed his opinion.

Chen Yuan also knew that buying horses was very expensive. The Song Dynasty now had its own horse farm, so raising horses would save a lot of money. However, a little foal was born to be able to go to the battlefield and became a real war horse, which would not last three or four years in the middle.

The Song Dynasty had no time to wait. Until now, the war with the Liao Kingdom has been fought. Although the Song Dynasty captured a large area of ​​the Liao Kingdom, it has never been able to give the Liao people a fatal blow. The main reason is that the Song Dynasty lacks the power of maneuver.

This winter, the border areas will definitely be robbed by the Liao people. Because this is the only way Yelu Niegulu can allow more Liao people to survive this cold winter.

If the Song Dynasty could not have the maneuverability of long-range raids, then they could only watch the Liao people galloping on the grasslands. Next year, the year after year, or many years after, the Song, Liao and Bianjing will still be disturbed.

What's the difference between that and not fighting this battle?

Besides, the 400,000 army in Yelu Niegulu's hand was always a trouble for the Song army. If he really breathed, it would be impossible to live in peace.

While the two of them were talking, they suddenly saw a team of Japanese men pushing old-fashioned catapults appearing on a small hill next to them. A guy in armor was commanding soldiers to fix the catapults, thinking that he was planning to attack the Song army from a long distance.

This action of the Japanese made Chen Yuan laugh out loud.

At the same time, the Song army's artillery reacted quite quickly, and flexibly turned its direction and aimed at the figure vaguely rushing on the hillside.

Although the formal battle has not yet begun, the situation of both sides has been lifted, and the soldiers of the long-range strike troops have begun to fight each other.

The musketeers were all a little excited and nervous. Although they were talking and laughing at some things that were not related to the war, their eyes were watching from time to time, and they kept thinking about what they should do when the Japanese people on the opposite side rushed over.

The merits of these musketeers are also different from those of other troops. Other troops are calculated based on the number of enemies killed by soldiers, and are generally counted on individuals. But musketeers are not good. At this time, the musketeers are shot in a row, and you don’t know that the person was killed by you.

So they calculate the credit according to their formation. Where do you stand, how many enemies have you killed in front of your position, and after the war is over, there is a set of methods that will distribute military merit to you.

The general who led the team saw that the Japanese trencher had been put away, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Guys, give them some good taste first, and smash all the old things."

There were only more than 30 trenchers in total from the Japanese, which was better after Zunren had put in a lot of effort. Judging from the size, this trencher was much larger than the cannons of the Song army.

However, when hundreds of artillery fired at the same time in the Song army, after only two rounds of attacks, the Japanese positions were completely destroyed, leaving only those burning wooden boards and the wailing Japanese soldiers lying in the fire.
