How big was the battle of 100,000 cavalry? The vastness is overwhelming! Rushing along the horizon is densely packed, giving people a terrifying feeling, the Great Song soldiers are in full array, under this kind of offensive, even if you take the road and escape, it is useless, but it is easier to be slaughtered.

Fortunately, these cavalry are all ordinary light cavalry in Western Xia, and there is no existence of heavy cavalry like the Iron Harrier, and the Song army commander breathed a sigh of relief while facing the enemy with the sharpest Mo knife! The Mo Dao Array is one of the necessary military formations of the Great Song Dynasty army, and if all infantry legions do not have Mo Dao hands, they will be exposed to the feet of the cavalry and slaughtered.

100,000 against 100,000 people, 100,000 foot soldiers against 100,000 light cavalry, the Great Song Dynasty still has a comparative advantage, the 100,000 Song army is not without cavalry, such a large army must have a heavy cavalry wearing plate armor and holding a horse lance. The Western Route army had about 8,000 heavy cavalry, and Yang Zhongxian would never let go until the end of these 8,000 people.

In order to organize an army composed entirely of heavy cavalry, the officials transferred most of the war horses produced by the Great Song Dynasty every year to the Beiwei Army and the White Army, so that the Western Route Army and the Southern Route Army did not have many military horses.

The 8,000 heavy cavalry in his hands is already quite hard-won, the Western Route Army is not like the Southern Route Army with the support of Di Qing, the commander, and the only help is the Qingtang Coalition Army, so these 8,000 people Yang Zhongxian regards them as extremely precious, and will never be used in the counter-charge of the Western Xia cavalry.

The long Mo knife was inserted into the ground, and a rest of forty-five degrees was the best angle to attack, and the sharp long knife was the rejection of the enemy's cavalry! The shield hand in front of him firmly pressed against the shield, and used his body to resist the bows and arrows fired by the Western Xia cavalry.

The long knife is like a forest, forming a land of thorns, if you look down from the air, it is like a diamond-shaped steel forest, and the Xixia cavalry is like a wedge on this steel jungle, the battlefield is instantly frozen, and the continuous impact makes the Great Song army formation begin to deform and shake, but the Song army soldiers still strive to maintain the formation.

There has always been a saying in the army: "The formation is not dispersed, and the military formation is invincible!" It is said that this is a precept left by the officials, and everyone took it to heart, tried to maintain the formation, and continued to harvest the lives of the enemy with the weapons in their hands.

The military formation of the Great Song Dynasty is very large, and there is a lot of open space left in the middle, which is to leave a buffer zone when the military formation is oppressed by the enemy, and it is also a shrinking area, so as not to squeeze together when the army is facing the impact of the enemy.

The military formation of the Great Song Dynasty is never dead, although it is infantry, but they are still flexible and changeable, the shield hand, the Mo knife hand, the knife catcher, the crossbow archer, and other various types of troops make the military formation of the Great Song Dynasty quite stable, and can also launch wave after wave of blows against the enemy.

Yang Zhongxian is a steady and steady general in the final analysis, and the reason why Zhao Zhen made him the chief general of the Western Route Army is because of his solidity, which is also in line with the characteristics of the Western Route Army.

Yang Zhongxian sat firmly in the Chinese army, the more at this time, the more the Chinese army could not be chaotic, all kinds of orders and orders arrived at every place on the battlefield through special messengers, flags, copper whistles are the key to command this behemoth.

As long as the banner of the main general of the Chinese army is erected high, no one will be worried, the main general is the reassurance in the hearts of the soldiers, and the banner erected high not only represents the main general, but also represents the Great Song Dynasty and the official family, reminding everyone all the time that this is not a battle of their own, but for the Great Song Dynasty, for the emperor is fighting!

Mo knife swing, bring out a line of white training, wearing plate armor Mo knife hand like a hard and terrifying fortress, reflecting the silver white light in the sun, the important task of the Mo knife hand is to save himself, and with the powerful Mo knife in his hand to kill the enemy.

Now the Mo knife of the Great Song Dynasty has been improved to a certain extent, the blade is heavier, increasing the chopping power and increasing the inertia of swinging the knife, and the counterweight under the handle can allow the long Mo knife to complete the next round of chopping again.

The battle line of the 100,000 army was very long, and the Tanguts did not put all their forces into the military formation against the Great Song Dynasty, their main purpose was to support the military city of Gansu.

The Song army can only hold on to the military formation, once it moves, it will be found by the Western Xia cavalry to find a flaw and rush into the formation, Yang Zhongxian naturally will not let the Western Xia people succeed, but they can not support the Qingtang coalition army, the Western Xia cavalry soon divided the troops into two ways, one way to continue to form an offensive against the Western Route Army, and the other way is to rush to the Gansu military city to intercept the Qingtang coalition army.

Yang Zhongxian soon discovered the purpose of the Western Xia people, if the Qingtang coalition army was intercepted by the Western Xia reinforcements, it would definitely make the Qingtang coalition army, which was already not good at fighting, chaos, after such a long time of getting along, Yang Zhongxian had a clear understanding of the combat power of the Qingtang coalition army.

Compared with the Great Song army, the Qingtang coalition army completely relied on revenge and blood to insist, and the military formations were mainly fighting with each other, and there was no safe tactics, which also led to their suitability to fight a tailwind war Once they were disrupted and surrounded by the Western Xia people, the consequences were unimaginable!

But at this time, the Western Route Army had been dragged by tens of thousands of cavalry in Western Xia, and there was no chance to get out of the rush for a while, and Yang Zhongxian's only choice was to use the 8,000 heavy cavalry to fight his way out of the encirclement and go to the Gansu military city to rush to the Qingtang coalition army.

The combat power of the 8,000 heavily armored cavalry is extraordinary, but whether it is worth it or not has become a difficult problem for Yang Zhongxian, and sometimes the most difficult choice is on the battlefield.

Whether to leave these eight thousand heavy cavalry just in case, or let them help the Qingtang coalition army, on the rapidly changing battlefield, Yang Zhongxian gritted his teeth and shouted: "Order the eight thousand iron cavalry, and the armor will rush out from the north road to aid the Qingtang coalition army!" ”

With Yang Zhongxian's words, the eight thousand heavy cavalry who were ready to go immediately got on their horses, they were the elite of the army, invincible, and they were also an iron-blooded army, because they were once one of the heavy cavalry of Yan Yun who accompanied Zhao Zhen on the Northern Expedition.

No matter loyalty, decisiveness, and perseverance, they will not lose to the back of Di Qing's hands to step on the white second army, and these eight thousand heavy cavalry were also given the name of Gangfeng by Zhao Zhen, which is intended to sweep away everything wherever the steel is cast.

There are not many troops in the Song army that can get the name of the official, except for the upper four armies in the past, there is only the second army of the white one, but a small 8,000-person heavy horseman, can be named by the official, it can be seen that they are sharp.

This is also the reason why Yang Zhongxian fought with this, he believed that with the support of 8,000 elite heavy cavalry, the Qingtang coalition army would definitely be able to stabilize its position, making them feel that this was once again the feeling of fighting a good wind with the Great Song Dynasty.
