At the southern foot of Helan Mountain, at the mouth of the Qingtong Gorge, the spring breeze is blowing, the hillside is full of colorful flowers, the green grass extends to the northwest, endlessly, the forest waves are bursting, and the Yellow River is surging to the north.

Suddenly, a terrible scream sounded, and several vultures descended from the sky, extremely fast, grabbing the blurred flesh on the ground, and then spread their wings and flew high into the air, without stopping for a moment.

Probably they also knew that everyone was in great danger in the position where the two armies were fighting.

In front of the Qingtong Gorge, there is blood all over the place, tens of thousands of corpses are stacked on top of each other, horizontal and vertical, the death is different, and the swords, guns and battle flags are scattered in the middle, tragic and bloody, and the tragedy is unbearable.

The battle lasted for two days, and the party army suffered tens of thousands of casualties, and the Song army also suffered thousands of casualties.

"Escapees, slash!"

"Those who disturb the morale of the army, slash!"

"Passive Warrior, Slash!"

Brother Richard galloped back and forth in front of the battle, hoarse, red-faced, and hideous.

Everyone knows the meaning behind this big war, either defeat or death, or a glimmer of life. This is a national war, the last battle that we cannot afford to lose. Whether the Western Xia Dynasty can continue or not, in this move.

"Kill! Kill the enemy!"

The boundless party cavalry raised their blades and shouted loudly, they shouted a tsunami, the sound shook the sky, everyone was full of blood, and everyone was full of fighting spirit.

After two days of fighting, although the Dangxiang army suffered heavy losses, the Song army was not easy. This also gave these party generals the confidence to fight to the death.

The Song army was in a large array, Wang Song raised a clairvoyant mirror, looking at the mountains and tsunamis in the distance, the boundless party army, they were crowded, I don't know the thousands, covering the sky and the earth, in addition to the regular army of the Xia people, nearly half of them are from various tribes. It seems that this time, the Tanguts are fighting for the country.

He couldn't help but sigh softly. After this big battle, I don't know how many soldiers will die.

The Western Xia army of more than 100,000, the Song army of 50,000, and the battle of more than 100,000 people were about to break out.

"Liu Qi, Li Yanxian, are you ready?"

Wang Song regained his composure, and his gaze became cold.

"Xianggong can rest assured. In the first two days, firearms were not used extensively, which made the Xia people mistakenly think that our army was nothing more than that. In today's war, let them know what a real war is!"

Liu Qi clasped his fists and saluted, and Li Yanxian also said in a deep voice: "Xianggong is sitting in the Chinese army, and let's see how the brothers kill the enemy and break through the lack of Helan Mountain!"

Wang Song nodded lightly and said loudly: "Let's start!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The earth-shattering drums sounded, the Song army shouted, the firecrackers were in the front of the Chinese army, and the cavalry slowly came up from the two wings, and everyone was solemn and ready for battle.

One by one, the guns were lined up one after another, the small guns were in the front, the general's guns were in the center, the heavy guns were in the back, the muzzles of the guns were quiet, and the gunners were separated from the left and right of the guns, and everyone was solemn.

Brother Richard's saber was in the air, and countless party iron horsemen rushed out, their sabers in their hands, and they beat their horses one after another, rolling forward like a rushing tide.

Thousands of troops and horses are rumbling, the earth under Helan Mountain is trembling, and the rolling water of the Yellow River is also silent at this moment. More than 10,000 party and iron horsemen, rushing forward, everyone is fearless, just thinking about killing the enemy.

"Pong! Disheveled! Ponto!"

A hundred artillery pieces opened fire at the same time, billowing smoke, and a hundred seven-pound solid iron balls flew in the air, tearing through the air and smashing head-on towards the roaring cavalry.

The party knights rushing forward suddenly fell down, the iron balls rampaged, destroying the withered and decaying, smashing out the flesh alleys, the stumps were broken, the knights were screaming, and the war horses were screaming.

Another round of 100 five-pound iron balls broke through the air and smashed into the rolling party cavalry battle, and the iron balls were raging and flying, and they were collected wantonly

Cutting the lives of the knights.

The ground trembled, and the boundless party cavalry rushed forward frantically without fear of casualties. In the past two days, they have become accustomed to the artillery offensive of the Song army, and as long as they pass the artillery level, they can engage the other party and break through the large array of the Song army.

In the cavalry formation, the royal family of the Xia people, Pu Wang Renzhong, was particularly eye-catching, he was dressed in gold armor, surrounded by a group of royal children, all of them were fierce dragons and tigers, wielding swords and fighting fiercely, shouting loudly forward.

The surrounding guards and knights continued to fall off their horses, and the screams and wails of the fallen knights could be heard from time to time. Thousands of horses galloped, the smoke of gunpowder was filled, the pungent smell was unpleasant, and the situation ahead could not be seen, and the pampered Renzhong did not care about these, but only cared about beating the horses forward.

In the midst of the party's big array, seeing the party knights planted one by one, people turned on their backs, countless casualties, and Brother Richard's eyes were bleeding.

After this big battle, I don't know how many warriors will be lost!

Tens of thousands of war horses galloped in, dusty. The deafening sound of horses' hooves was shocking. Fearless of the huge casualties caused by the opponent's artillery, the party knights burst out with the courage to fight to the death, brandishing their sabers and shouting wildly, and their hideous faces were clearly visible.

"Pong! Disheveled! Ponto!"

The muzzle of the cannon flashed with white smoke, but this time it was a hundred small cannons that fired shotguns, and tens of thousands of iron pellets formed a rain of hail bullets that shot out in parallel.

A hundred paces away, the party cavalry cut leeks and fell down, their men and horses were shot with bloody arrows, weaving pieces of blood mist, people turned on their backs, smoke and dust rose, blood stained the ground, and the wounded of men and horses screamed and struggled in a pool of blood.

Another hundred five-pound general cannons fired at the same time, and 50,000 shotguns were fired at the same time, like a raging storm, smashing down countless party knights.

This was followed by the same number of seven-pound general cannons. The three kinds of artillery opened fire one after another, the sound of the cannons shook the sky, the fog was rising, endless, endless, and the party cavalry suffered countless casualties, but they still mustered up the courage to fight their horses forward.

The fierce party cavalry approached the position, and the soldiers of the loyal and righteous army in the front row were sweating in their palms and their mouths were dry, they endured the fear in their hearts, stood up straight, controlled the trembling ten fingers, and clenched the fire gun in their hands.

The officers measured the distance, estimating that the other party had entered within 100 steps, and began to shout loudly one by one.

"Reload your ammo!"

After a short time, the roars of the officers rang out again.

"Raise your gun, aim!"

Three thousand firearms were raised in unison, the snow bayonets were like a jungle of steel, and the blademen in front of them all squatted down to make way for passages.

"Shoot!"

The officers were hoarse, the red flags in the hands of the flag officers in the front row also fell heavily, the white walls of smoke rose, and the deafening sound of firecrackers rang out.

As soon as the first platoon finished firing, the second row of musketeers immediately stepped forward a few steps, passed the first row of musketeers who were reloaded on the spot, and began the second round of shooting, with 1,000 men in each platoon, firing together, without stopping, without stopping.

Under the denser and more accurate firing of the firearms, the party cavalry fell to the ground one by one, and were knocked to the ground one by one, the scene was chaotic and a mess, and within fifty steps in front of the big formation, the corpses of men and horses were layered on top of each other, dripping with blood, and the flesh and blood were blurred, and in the smoke of gunpowder, the strong smell of blood made people want to be sick.

The raindrops of bullets rained down on the party knights, and Richard's muscles were twisted and his heart was like a knife. The firepower of the Song army today is far higher than that of the previous two days.

"King Jin, King Pu ......"

The soldiers beside him suddenly shouted loudly.

Brother Richard was shocked, raised his head, and looked into the large array of ten thousand horses, just in time to see Pu Wang Renzhong and the surrounding guards falling from their horses, and the party knights behind him couldn't dodge, so they continued to fight their horses forward, and Renzhong never stood up again.

"Li Guoping, you lead people to attack the left flank of the Song army,

I will lead people to attack the right flank of the Song army, and success or failure will be in one fell swoop!"

Brother Richard endured the pain in his heart, his face turned pale, and he gave a military order.

"Xianggong, the party cavalry on the front has suffered heavy casualties, and Brother Richard personally led the army out!"

Liu Qi came over, his voice trembling a little.

"Since you're here, treat them well and leave them behind!"

Wang Song also had a solemn face and solemnly explained.

"Swap out the bullets!"

Liu Hongjin, the commander of the artillery battalion, rode a horse and shouted loudly in the artillery position, waving the order flag in his hand.

The shell boxes were opened one after another, and one by one the flowering shells were moved out and loaded into the barrels, and the muzzles of the guns were faint, aimed at the party cavalry rushing on both wings.

"Fire!"

The muzzles of the heavy guns flashed into flames, thick smoke rose in large areas, and the deafening sound of cannons rang out, which was piercing and unpleasant, and the gunners covered their ears one after another.

Flowering shells exploded one by one in the cavalry formation, shattered shrapnel flew in the air, and the Grim Reaper ruthlessly harvested fragile lives. Each shell can cause casualties among at least four or five party cavalry, and in just one round of flowering shells, thousands of party knights are planted.

The firecrackers were endless, the explosions of flowering shells came and went, the shotguns tore through the air, tens of thousands of party cavalry suffered heavy casualties, the corpses of men and horses were piled up on hills, and the blood on the ground had collected into streams and flowed towards the low-lying places.

The party knights still charged forward with their lives, regardless of casualties. They fell one by one, followed one by one, and thousands of troops galloped on the battlefield, but they could not see the dawn of victory.

The smoky earth-shattering thunder that flew in the air, the rain of bullets pouring like a storm, the millions of iron pellets that roared through the air like a god of death, and the sharp iron pieces that flew wantonly in the air, knocked over batch after batch of party knights.

They were not afraid of life and death, and wanted to break through the barrage of the Song army, but under the dense bullet rain of the other party, they had no chance of success at all.

This is the era of firearms, and the old iron-mounted scimitar mode of combat has been ruthlessly abandoned by the times, and their defeat is inevitable.

Thousands of knights fell, the leaders of the tribes fell, and finally even the royal Richard, the party, fell on the road of impact.

The casualties were heavy, the flesh and blood were flying, the corpses were layered on top of each other, boundless, rivers of blood flowed, and hell was ......

In the face of the frenzied slaughter, the frightened party cavalry finally lost the courage to continue forward, they turned their horses' heads and began to flee frantically backwards.

"Cavalry attack!"

Liu Qi shouted loudly: "Brothers, kill the thief with me!" ”

"Brothers, kill the thief!"

Li Yanxian also waved his gun and shouted loudly.

"Brothers, kill the thief!"

Yang Zaixing, Liu Rui and others urged their horses to rush out, and tens of thousands of Song army iron horsemen couldn't wait, and the wind swept the clouds and went forward together.

The sound of shooting, explosions, and fighting continued until late in the evening, when all this calmed down.

The ownerless war horses, the tattered remnants of the flag, the scattered swords, guns and arrows everywhere, the countless corpses on the ground, the tens of thousands of wounded, and the number of captives organized by the black girl......

The remnant sun is like blood, shining on this ancient battlefield, and like this party regime, it is also going to the end.

In April of the fourth year of Song Jianyan, after recovering the land of Hexi, the Song army waved its troops north to recover Xingqingfu, the capital of Western Xia. The Western Xia Emperor Li Qianshun fled with the royal family and fled to the north of the desert. The Song army successively pacified the three major military divisions of the Right Chamber, Chaoshun Military Division, Baimaqiang Town Military Division, and Black Mountain Weifu, and recovered the Hetao area.

Zhang Xianjun went out of Hongzhou and defeated the Jianing Military Division and the Right Wing Shenyong Military Division. At this point, the hometown of the Han family in Western Xia, which had been separated from the Central Plains Dynasty for a hundred years, was under the control of the Song army.
