Chapter 1237 Night Attack

Late at night, the summer army camp five miles north of Huanzhou City.

The tents, the lights, everything is as usual.

However, the sound of bangzi was a bit chaotic, it was a few sheep who had been released in a hurry, and the grass was tied with ropes in the sheepfold, and hung at a height that the sheep could only reach with their efforts.

When the sheep jump up to graze, they drag the rope back, and the rope will drive the hammer to knock the rope.

He was a general above the level, and he knew that he couldn't please him in Huanzhou, but this time he got the Song army's earth-shattering thunder, explosives, and crane shin crossbows, and tested the feasibility of attacking the city with a three-gun bed crossbow, and once broke Huanzhou City, and the army did not have any big losses, which can be regarded as offsetting the merits.

After the scandal was publicized, he had already germinated the idea of retiring from the army, but there are rules for retiring from the army.

He also knew that there was still a Song general hiding on his back road, so he decided to quietly retreat in the middle of the night, first open the echoing distance between the two armies of the Song people, and wait until the sun rises tomorrow, the army is already thirty miles away from Huanzhou, and then he can retreat calmly.

The retreat was very successful, and the army left the tent camp outside the city of Huanzhou, and now it has quietly come to the main road five miles away from the camp.

He looked back at Huanzhou City, with a sneer on his face, the weakness of the Song people has almost been completely mastered by him, and the sharpness of firearms is not enough to rely on, just like Emperor Jingzong did back then, as long as he finds an opportunity to capture the craftsmen of the Song people, soon, Daxia will also have the same armaments as the Song people.

However, at this moment, on the high ground on both sides of the road, there was a sudden sound of "Bang! "Bang!" "Bang!" A few soft sounds, followed by several sparks soaring high into the sky, bursting into several beautiful fireworks in the sky.

In the distance, at the head of the city of Huanzhou, there was a sudden drum beat, and several identical fireworks also burst out in the sky above the city, echoing it.

Immediately after, shouts, gongs and drums sounded wildly, and intertwined arrows rained down on both sides towards the Xia army in the middle of the road.

In the distance around the city of Huanzhou, a fire dragon poured out from behind the city, and then bypassed the city wall, chasing them quickly!

"Hit the mark!" Meng Meng couldn't help but be shocked, clamped the horse's belly, and said to the commander of the Chinese army: "You hold here, I want to take the Song firearms to the Baotai Military Division, and I can only withdraw with the front army first!" ”

The commander of the Chinese army knew that most of them were not lucky tonight: "The heirs of the tribe will be entrusted to the capital!" ”

After that, he pulled out his long knife: "Stop the snare drum and form a formation!" Formation! ”

But marching in the night, surrounded by the attack of the Song army, it was not easy to form a formation, and countless Xia people rushed around in panic and scattered in the night.

The Xia people were automatically divided into two teams, one team of about 5,000 people, and they fled the battlefield as quickly as possible, and a team of more than 10,000 people blindly gathered at the sound of the military drums in the middle of the country.

There was no time for them to react more, and soon the first batch of light cavalry of the Song army arrived.

These riders were all extremely strong horse-controlling Fanren, and they did not meet the Xia people when they encountered them, but flexibly galloped quickly from the edge of the Xia people's formation, stood on the saddle pedals with their legs, shouted loudly in their mouths, waved a meteor hammer-like thing a few times above their heads, and then threw it into the Xia people's formation.

When the thing fell into the Xia army's camp and shattered to the ground, it would ignite a burst of fire, and with a target, the archers in the surrounding darkness immediately shot their feather arrows at the figures illuminated by the firelight.

The fire dragon in the distance saw the fire on this side, and immediately made a small adjustment and pounced towards the Xia people!

"Steady! Steady! Sword and shield hands come forward! The commander of the Chinese army brandished the long knife and shouted frantically, and the military law team around him cut the long knife mercilessly on his own people like headless flies, and finally barely maintained the formation in the dark.

The Xia people's counterattack began, and the blind feathered arrows occasionally harvested one or two unlucky eggs of the Fan light horse, and the Fan people who fell to the ground often carried the fierce fire oil canister and did not have time to get out, and were immediately burned into a torch by their own weapons.

But such a record must be a minority, and soon, the periphery of the Xia Ren's formation will be full of burning points.

Di Yong dispatched almost all the Fan cavalry and issued them bows and arrows, Huanzhou Shufan had hated this Xia army to the core, they formed a small team, roaring from a distance of thirty paces outside the circle of fire, and shooting wildly at the Xia people in the circle in the process of running.

The military qualities of the Xia people were vividly displayed at this moment, although they were subjected to crazy blows from all directions, their military formations had already stubbornly and firmly moved towards the north.

Night battles, in the history of the Xia people, almost never happened, their highly agile cavalry, always quickly left the battlefield at dusk, waiting for dawn to make a comeback again.

However, the Song army has a tradition of night fighting, especially Su Lie, who was born in the second forest in the southwest, is even more fond of night fighting, and the hoarding army in his hand is the only army licensed by Zhao Ji to use the blue fabric of the southwest Yi as the color of the military uniform.

The blue-clothed night charm, in the past 20 years, has already made a name for itself in the border of the Great Song Dynasty, and many Tibetan tribes have seen the hoarding army dressed in blue and wearing an iron mask, and they often surrender directly without a fight, and they have no courage to engage in battle at all.

This kind of atmosphere, when Su You ruled Weizhou, gradually spread to the entire Western Army.

The attack of the light cavalry made the pace of the Xia people even slower, and the Chinese army led by Di Yong and Wu Cunzhi finally killed in the darkest hour before dawn!

Three hundred "heavy horses", wearing cloth clothes inside, hanging the heavy plate armor of the Xia people, the horses with leather "face" and "chicken neck" on the head and neck, and the "armor body" modified from half cowhide and Xia people's chain armor were hung below the neck, holding a heavy cavalry spear transformed by three-edged thorns, in the shape of a sharp arrow, and collided with the Chinese army under the banner of the Xia people!

Inside the blade, there were thousands of light cavalry of the Song army wielding swords.

Such moments have happened many times in history, but this time, the role has been reversed.

One hundred steps! The formation of the Xia people began to riot, and they couldn't figure out when the Huanzhou Army, the weakest chicken of the Song people, would also have the Iron Harrier of the Great Xia's prestige!

Seventy paces, the Xia archers began to shoot frantically, but in the face of all the iron horses that were properly protected in front of them, they could hardly play a role.

If the Xia people adopted the means of projectile, the light cavalry of the Song army inside the Blade Array would definitely suffer a big loss, but the great horror of the Iron Harrier in the battle made them forget about this, and only shot at the Iron Harrier in vain.

Fifty steps! Rulin's cavalry fell down like a reed that had been swept by a sickle, and the jujube pole fell on the hook specially added by Shi Yong next to the horse's shoulder, facing the enemy formation.

Thirty steps! The shield-bearers of the Xia camp had already begun to scream and howl nervously, and the cavalry of the Chinese army, under the constant projectiles of the light cavalry of the Fan people and the tremendous pressure of the heavy cavalry in front, began to suddenly rush towards the rear, knocking the law enforcement infantry to the ground, and then fleeing the way.

And Di Yong's pace has accelerated to the extreme of crossing the stove, and thirty steps is just a dazzling effort.

Immediately after, the jujube wood three-edged stabbing spear with a length of nearly three meters, like a snake riding the wind, flashed into the shield array of the Xia army without hindrance.

"Bang!" The spear shattered the shield and pierced it, and the shield hand behind him was pierced by the spear like butter, and the huge kinetic energy pushed him into the comrades behind him, and the spear was behind him again, piercing into the body of another Xia Jun, revealing the terrifying chisel tip from the back of the second Xia Jun!

The tough jujube barrel couldn't withstand such a huge kinetic energy, and after arching a huge bend, it snapped and snapped.

However, this is only the first handle, followed by the second and third handles......

The seemingly complete and effective Xia army was powerless to resist under the impact of heavy cavalry, and a huge gap was torn open in the blink of an eye.

Di Yong had already dropped the riding spear, and as soon as he raised his hand, the leaf hammer attached to the belt ring on his wrist swung into his hand, and smashed it at the Xia people around him.

The four-foot-long steel pipe and the four-leaf hammer head, this weapon that Shi Yong temporarily made for the three hundred iron horsemen, danced a little lighter in Di Yong's hands.

He doesn't have to think about other parts at all, he just greets his opponent's head all the time, whether he wears a helmet or not, he will be knocked down with one blow.

The tiger entered the flock, and there was no one in his hands!

The sword of the Xia people has no lethal power against the heavy cavalry wearing plate armor, and behind each heavy cavalry of the Song army, there is a team of light cavalry holding a cavalry knife to cover, and the lightly armed Xia cavalry was knocked down or knocked crooked by the heavy cavalry in a blink of an eye, and then was harvested by the cavalry knife.

At this time, the Chinese army command was powerless, and after the defense line was broken, the Xia army was faced with the slaughter of the opposing cavalry.

Therefore, the commander was timid, and was wrapped in his own cavalry, and fled wildly towards the north.

The first rays of sunlight just came out of the horizon, just in time to witness the moment when the banner of the Xia People's Chinese Army fell.

The Xia people also saw such a scene in the rising sun, and the army suddenly turned from a riot to a rout.

"Wan Sheng!" Song Jun's momentum was like a rainbow: "Kill!" ”
