Foot soldiers are always foot soldiers, even if they travel fast, but compared to the cavalry is far behind, the Great Song Dynasty is like a gecko, constantly abandoning its tail of the gecko.

But this is also the most effective and unavoidable way, first the world balance, then the left and right wings, and now the loyalty ...... Almost everyone is determined to die, and their goal is really only one to protect the artillery and the juniors of the gate.

No one knows the significance of artillery to the Song army better than them, this kind of heavenly soldiers naturally have to be protected, the cost of each artillery is very expensive, the imperial court spent a lot of money to build more than 100 guns, and each loss is a great loss, how can it be damaged in their own hands.

In Yang Huaiyu's view, these artillery pieces are far more important than their own lives, when the Xixia people bite up again, Yang Huaiyu did not hesitate to order the army to turn around to meet the enemy, he intends to use the entire army as the price of covering artillery, for his palace.

"The firearms battalion must not stop, go all the way south to find Di Shuai's army, and I will wait for the queen of the palace!"

An army of 50,000 men was quickly stationed and lined up before the Tanguts could catch up.

At this time, the family is folded, and the family is gathered together again, but it is not the leader of each family, but the younger generation, these people are the hope of the gate, the reason why the continuous sacrifice of the people is to give them the opportunity to escape and ascend to heaven, after all, who can not have a little selfishness? It's just that what Shiheng said inconveniently was said by Zhi Weizhong.

But when faced with the question of whether he was trying to survive or protect the Great Song Dynasty, Yang Huaiyu naturally chose the latter, because he knew better than anyone else the value of this batch of artillery and its value to the Great Song Dynasty.

"General Yang, are we going to fight a decisive battle with the Western Xia people? Don't withdraw it, right? The two of them asked in unison.

Yang Huaiyu frowned and said, "What? Do you still want to survive? In order to protect this batch of artillery, the commander personally cut it off, and now the same is true for the commander, how can we be greedy for life?! ”

The brothers shook their heads again and again: "Joke, I won't live for my life, but now that I'm fighting with the Xixia people, can I let my brother go, and he is still locked in the car by the overseer......

Yang Huaiyu said with embarrassment: "Also, release him quickly, he has a good skill, if he can't kill the enemy at this time, wouldn't it be a waste?" ”

The farmer brother was overjoyed: "Okay! Now we can finally kill a happy one, my father, I will sacrifice myself for the country, and I will not humiliate the younger generation! The big guy said yes?! ”

"This is natural, the brothers of the firearms battalion go quickly, we will lead the army to wait for the queen of the palace, even if we die in battle, it will not be in vain Your Majesty's trust in us! It does not disgrace the prestige of the Great Song Dynasty! ”

The grievances along the way have finally been released, who has no sense of honor in their hearts? Even if an ordinary soldier watched the robe give up his life and forget to pave the way for himself, his heart was already in pain, how could he give up at this time when he had the opportunity to turn back and fight? The most important thing is that they are not deserters, nor are they routs, and the courage and morale in their chests are exactly what they can do.

If it weren't for Shiheng's military order and the heavy responsibility of escorting the firearms battalion, they would have turned back to fight a long time ago, who wants to be a deserter on the battlefield and be ridiculed?

Yang Huaiyu raised the long sword in his hand and shouted: "Array, meet the enemy!" ”

The army of 50,000 people quickly moved up, they wanted to block all the pursuers, and buy the most time for the firearms battalion, the most powerful place in the Great Song Dynasty was actually the infantry corps to fight, the current Great Song infantry was different from the original, the generals in the army were mostly well-trained and good at fighting, and the small team was right, Yu Hou, and the captain and the like were mostly from the military academy or elite.

With Yang Huaiyu's words, the various commanders began to cooperate in a staggered manner, and a tacit understanding had been reached between soldiers and between commanders and commanders.

And the military formation to deal with the enemy is naturally the most suitable for dealing with the cavalry, at this time the cavalry that is pursuing is the light cavalry of the Western Xia people, and the heavy cavalry has been intercepted by Chong Shiheng first.

The wall of the knife of the Mo swordsman is erected, and the shield is sharpened in the rear, the horizontal knife is unsheathed, the crossbow arrow is wound, and a set of movements are neatly aligned, which is the combat quality cultivated by years of training, even if some people in the army go to the battlefield for the first time, this action has become a part of their blood.

The cavalry of the Tangut people appeared in the rumbling sound of horses' hooves, shouting the slogan of "Ula Ula" and rushing to the Great Song army formation, even if the sword wall is like a forest, it is still unhesitating, there is no so-called justice on this battlefield, there is no so-called evil, they are all fighting for their country.

The crossbow arrows of the Great Song Dynasty continue to shoot at the enemy, the arrows are like flying locusts to form a black and oppressive dark cloud falling from the sky, ruthlessly hitting the body of the Western Xia people, the crossbow arrows are divided into three sections of shooting, throwing, arc shooting, flat shooting, the crossbow arrows of the Great Song Dynasty because of the fast winding speed, the action of the archery is synchronized and uniform, which is the fastest way to consume the enemy's vital strength.

The Western Xia cavalry braved the rain of arrows and rushed towards the Great Song army formation, they knew that at this time, dodging and detouring had no effect at all, it would only increase the shooting time of the Song people, but it was the best way to save their lives by resisting the rain of arrows and rushing to the enemy formation.

The Western Xia cavalry scattered, flooding the land like a tide, eroding the plain like a flood, the moment the two armies intersected, like a stormy wave hitting the rocks, the tragic battle began, no one dared to be distracted, once distracted, the next one to fall is likely to be themselves.

When resisting the war horses of the Tangut people, the Mo swordsmen in heavy plate armor stood up, each Mo swordsman was the strongest warrior in the army, and their meals were even equipped with expensive beef to strengthen their muscles and bones, otherwise they couldn't even afford the armor on their bodies, how to kill the enemy?

The Mo knife hand that stood up was like a moving castle, and even the wrought iron fist gloves were shining with cold iron thorns, holding the handle of the Mo knife inserted into the ground, and brought it out with a little force, the Mo knife array of three thousand people was like a hell of gods and demons, when the Mo knife was held high, it seemed that the earth was trembling, and the warriors of the party couldn't stand their black eyes.

He didn't have time to put on the plate armor and joined the battle, the wielding Mo knife was limited by the clothes on his body, he simply exposed his upper body and bare his breasts to fight, with his knife cut down, the oncoming Western Xia cavalry and the horse were killed by him, although the men and horses were not broken, but the broken half of the horse's head and the arms of the Tangut people said it all.

Zhi Jizu, who commanded the knife catcher to mend the knife on the side, cheered loudly: "Okay! I have no seed in the Great Song Dynasty! Give it to me, sons, all the Xixia dogs that fall off the horse will be killed for me, but I can't distract our brothers in the Mo Dao Formation! ”

For a time, the voice of the general sounded in the army, which was a kind of self-motivation and a kind of determination to die generously......
