"If you can take my words to heart, you won't suffer such a big loss."

There was a breath of anger in Yeli Yuqi's chest, and now when he took advantage of the prodigal encounter to move the question, he vented it all in one breath.

Lang Yu shifted his cannibalistic gaze and said to Ye Liyu: "Now is the time to say this?" ”

Ye Liyu snorted coldly, "Retreat ......"

Lang Yu Yi raised the knife in his hand.

Ye Li Yu stared coldly at the knife in Lang Yu's hand, and snorted: "Before we understand the weakness of the firearms in the enemy's hands, what can we use to fight the enemy head-on?"

When the enemy has strange firearms and morale is high, rush up and fight the enemy?

Our party members are accustomed to using wolf tactics, not wild boars.

Have you ever seen a wolf that goes head-to-head with a strong enemy? ”

Dropping these words, Yeli Yuqi turned around and roared at the cavalry behind him as if he hadn't seen the knife that had been raised in front of him.

"Retreat!"

The rangers of the Yeli tribe, under the order of Yeli Yuqi, decisively fled from the battlefield.

Artillery, muskets, the shock brought to them was too great, and they needed a while to digest.

The Iron Harrier has been crippled by artillery.

It is difficult to form effective combat effectiveness.

And the opponent's heavy armor ride basically doesn't have much consumption.

At this point, less than 100 soldiers were killed or wounded, and their combat effectiveness was still strong.

Even if they mobilized the remaining servant army, they might not be able to trap the enemy.

The opponent's heavy armor will definitely fight their way out in their heavy encirclement.

More critically, once they have transferred out of all the servant armies.

The enemy troops in Shazhou City will not sit idly by.

It will inevitably stab them in the eye from behind.

At that time, their losses will be even greater.

There are wolves in front and tigers in the back, and they can't parry.

Lang Yu moved his eyes and saw Yeli Yuqi leading the soldiers and horses to retreat, gritted his teeth and commanded the iron harrier beside him.

"Removal ......"

The Iron Harrier reluctantly followed behind Lang Yu and retreated.

Lang Yu Yu Ji rode his horse to catch up with Yeli Yu Qi, and said angrily: "You just let the enemy go? The general will not let you feel better if he knows. ”

Yeli Yuqi rode his horse back, and glanced at Lang Yuyi with disdain, "I naturally won't let them go easily......"

Lang Yu Yi asked, "What are your plans?" ”

Ye Li Yu snorted coldly: "After all, the enemy is a soldier and horse escorting heavy baggage, even if the combat strength is strong, the strength is very limited. They get together, and we are naturally no match for them.

But if they carry grain on the road, then our opportunity has come.

You won't forget how we destroyed the enemy's baggage transport convoys in the past, right?

Sneak attacks, surprise attacks, biting and constantly tearing flesh from the enemy are the tactics that our party and people should use.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't like to use the Song people as officials, but he likes to use the Song people's set of tactics, in my eyes, that is to put the cart before the horse.

In my opinion, we in the Western Xia should use the Song people as officials, let them help us control the people, herd horses and sheep, help us accumulate wealth, and plan more wealth.

But I, Western Xia, should not use the Song people's art of war.

The warriors on horseback who fought in Western Xia were all party members.

Wolf nature has long been in our blood.

Only wolf tactics are suitable for us.

The Song people's set is not suitable for us at all. ”

Lang Yu Yu said coldly: "You have the ability, you can tell the general about this." But before I do that, I want to know how you're going to sneak up and surprise your enemies.

We, the Iron Harriers, are going to get involved. ”

Ye Liyu begged and shook his head decisively, "Iron Harrier has already killed a lot of people, and he can't die anymore." If he dies again, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will go crazy. So I won't let you guys get involved.

I will send the troops and horses of those small tribes that are attached to the tent of my Yeli tribe. ”

Ye Li Yuqi glanced back at the cavalry guard who was charging, "The enemy obviously wants to take advantage of the momentum just now and rush over in one go. The enemy's soldiers and horses were fast, but they were not fast enough to escort the baggage troops.

That's our chance.

As long as we send our men out and continue to sneak up on the enemy's baggage and destroy their food and grass, what if they enter Shazhou City? ”

Lang Yu Yu said in a deep voice: "Didn't you say that the enemy has a firearm buried in the ground? The lethality is very strong, and you dare to send someone? ”

Ye Li Yuqi suddenly looked at Lang Yuyi, and said seriously: "It seems that I don't let you go up to fight the enemy, which is a wise choice." You have been frightened by the enemy's firearms.

Forget some of the most basic common sense.

The enemy's firearms, which are buried in the ground, are certainly very lethal.

But it takes enough time to bury it, and it takes a lot of effort to lure us into the urn.

Now that the enemy is close at hand, he is about to rush into Shazhou City.

How can they have time to bury that firearm?

Even if we have time to bury it, we are staring at the sidelines, can we still enter the trap again? ”

Lang Yuyi's face was gloomy and could drip blood, but he didn't speak again.

Yeli Yuqi didn't take care of him anymore.

After Yeli Yuqi led his men to withdraw from the battlefield, he stopped.

Ye Li Yu begged the soldiers and horses of his subordinate tribes: "Take ten people as a team, rush out for me, burn, kill and loot...... Your goal is to burn the enemy's food, kill the men among them, and rob the enemy's horses...... The rest are resolutely not allowed to be done, let alone greedily entangled with the enemy...... If you miss a hit, you will immediately retreat......"

The traditional plundering tactics of Western Xia were very pure.

It's just that they are a little afraid of the enemy's firearms.

In their eyes, the Iron Harrier was the strongest soldier and horse in Western Xia, and such a strong soldier and horse were defeated by the enemy's firearms, and they didn't think they could escape under the firearms.

Seeing that the soldiers and horses of the subordinate tribes were motionless, Ye Liyu angrily reprimanded: "The enemy is just a firearm with some benefits. But firearms also have certain limitations, when the enemy's firearms explode, there is always a gap, as long as you look at the gap, you can avoid the enemy's firearms attack.

But if you are afraid, offer your sheep and cattle to the enemy, and your swords, guns, and horses, and then stretch out your heads for others to cut off. ”

The soldiers and horses of the subordinate tribes heard Yeli Yuqi's words, and finally made some changes.

But they didn't rush out.

Ye Li Yu begged his teeth and appeared in front of the formation.

"I'll take the lead!"

As soon as these words came out, the Western Xia soldiers and horses had different expressions.

Yeli Yuqi didn't give them too many opportunities, and he had already taken his retinue and urged the war horse to rush out.

The soldiers and horses of the vassal tribes of the Yeli tribe could only follow hard.

After Yeli Yuqi led the men and horses back to the battlefield.

In an instant, the soldiers and horses were divided into countless strands.

Kou Ji, who had just embarked on the journey with all the cars escorting food, frowned when he saw this.

He had expected such a reaction from the enemy.

Artillery is not magic, nor is it a miracle.

Anyone who has been to the Great Song Dynasty and seen the scene of the medicine puppet rising into the air will understand how the artillery is urged, and the smell of gunpowder that permeates the battlefield is not so easy to dissipate.

The Great Song Dynasty is generous, so as long as the Western Xia people who have been to the Great Song Dynasty have seen the scene of the medicine puppet taking off.

Even, the Great Song Dynasty also gave the medicine puppet as a gift to the Western Xia and Liao States.

Therefore, whether it is the nobles of Western Xia or the nobles of Liao, they will not be unfamiliar with the smell of gunpowder.

Artillery can scare the enemy, but not enough to scare the enemy.

Once the enemy realizes their purpose, he will surely reappear on the battlefield.

The only thing Koji didn't expect was that the enemy actually gave up on blocking them head-on, and instead chose the tactics of surprise attack and sneak attack.

Then the thousand patrol guards he arranged to charge in the front seemed somewhat useless.

But Koji has no regrets about this.

Now the forces in his hands have been very scattered, leaving a large number of soldiers and horses with sufficient lethality to deal with the sudden changes on the battlefield and avoid being divided and eaten by the enemy.

When Yeli Yuqi rushed to the battlefield with people.

The baggage team led by Kou Ji has all set off.

In the long transport queue, there are weaknesses everywhere.

Yeli Yu begged to see this, and was overjoyed.

He guessed right.

"Kill the ......"

Ye Li Yu begged and shouted, and led the soldiers and horses to kill the baggage team.

The cavalry he led was like a wolf rushing towards a flock of sheep, aiming at the weakest point of the flock and rushing over.

Before the man arrives, the arrow arrives first.

"Puff puff ......"

Arrow after arrow fell.

The men and prisoners who escorted the car immediately suffered casualties.

Even if the people and captives had already hid well, they still couldn't dodge the arrows that fell from the sky.

The Japanese soldiers and horse patrol guards who were guarding around the car quickly counterattacked.

The Japanese soldiers were pure infantry clansmen, and they were somewhat weak in cavalry and archery battles.

The patrol guards had muskets in their hands and had a certain ability to fight back.

The suppressive shooting ability of the Western Xia cavalry was still the patrol horse guards who rode a hundred tigers in the carriage.

"Bang ......"

"Puff puff ......"

The sound of muskets and bows and crossbows instantly filled the entire battlefield.

The Western Xia cavalry, suppressed by the galloping of the tigers and the fire rifles, began to suffer a large number of casualties.

The men and prisoners in the baggage escort team under Kou Ji suffered more casualties.

The guards of the patrol horses were dressed in armor, so they were not afraid of the arrows of the Western Xia cavalry.

But the people and the captives had little protection.

Although the Japanese soldiers wore heavy armor on their horses, their horses did not wear armor.

When the horses are hit by arrows, they will be lifted off their horses.

"Hahaha......"

Kou Ji has a limited number of soldiers and horses.

It is impossible to effectively protect all the grain trucks and people.

The Western Xia cavalry led by Yeli Yuqi, after experiencing the rain of bullets and arrows, still rushed to the side of the car.

While fighting with the patrolmen and Japanese soldiers guarding the side of the car, they threw bags full of fire oil onto the car.

The oil splashed and splashed a cart.

The fire folds and torches were thrown onto the grain cart by the Western Xia cavalry that followed.

A fire broke out on the grain cart in an instant.

The people on the grain cart were stained with sparks, and jumped off the grain cart shouting.

Some of the people who were hiding in the carriage were caught in the fire in an instant.

By the time the patrol guards and Japanese soldiers had formed an effective force and rushed over, Yeli Yuqi had already fled the carriage with the cavalry of Western Xia.

"Damn ......"

Kou Ji watched more than a dozen grain trucks catch fire and cursed.

Liu Hengze rode to Kou Ji's side, and said with a gloomy face: "Fourth brother, if I take a team of people out to entangle with them, you take the grain team over first......"

Kou Ji glanced at the Western Xia cavalry gathered together outside the battle circle in the distance, and gritted his teeth and said, "Divide your 100 patrol horse guards...... Thou shalt not fight to the death......"

Liu Heng nodded, took a hundred patrol horse guards, and went out to block Yeli Yuqi's footsteps.

Kou Ji shouted at the team escorting the grain cart, "Hurry up! Leave the grain carts on fire! ”

Kou Ji urged the team escorting the grain cart and rushed out of the way.

More than 40 vehicles were set on fire, hundreds of civilians were killed, and thousands of prisoners died.

There were casualties among the Japanese troops and the guards who patrolled the horses.

Liu Heng led a hundred patrol horse guards to rush and kill on the battlefield.

But Ye Li Yu beggar did not fight him head-on at all, and every time he encountered the horse patrol guards led by Liu Heng, he threw them to the iron harriers sent by Lang Yu to deal with them.

He led other soldiers and horses to continue to attack the Song army's baggage team.

The baggage team was so badly damaged that Kou Ji had to send 500 men from the patrol guards who rushed to the front to come to the rescue.

But all the time, he did not call back all the cavalry guards who were charging forward.

Koji had a hunch that once he transferred back to the cavalry guards who were at the front, he would definitely be hit hard by the enemy.

Once there are no heavy armoured cavalry in front, the enemy is likely to set up an ambush in front.

For example, send the Iron Harrier to take the first step and rush to the front to wait for them.

When they arrived, kill them and destroy all their grain wagons.

Or set up a heavy army in front and wait for them to rush in.

"Kill ......"

The surging shouts of killing suddenly sounded from the city of Shazhou.

The gate of Shazhou City was opened, and a force of 10,000 soldiers and horses rushed out.

Kou Ji was overjoyed to see this.

"Quickly stuff the empty cars in the team with fire oil and drive them out!"

Koji commanded loudly.

When the servants of Kou Ji heard Kou Ji's order, they immediately poured oil on the empty carts, drove them to the location of the Western Xia cavalry, and then set the carriages on fire with arrows.

The horses hung on the blazing carriage and rushed into the battlefield where the Western Xia cavalry charged, forcing the Western Xia soldiers and horses to dodge.

More than a hundred carriages rushed out, forcibly suppressing the momentum of the Western Xia cavalry's charge.

Kou Ji took this opportunity and shouted to Liu Heng and the others: "Quickly guard the grain cart and rush into Shazhou City in one breath......"

Liu Heng and the others quickly withdrew to the team and escorted the grain cart to Shazhou City.

Ye Li Yu beggar saw the roaring carriage blocking the way, and was stunned for a long time.

"Why didn't I think of using this method......"

If he used a fire chariot to attack Koji's team transporting grain and grass, he would have done more harm than if he had led his soldiers and horses to kill.

The reason why he didn't think of this solution was not because he was stupid.

It's a habitual mindset at work.

In the eyes of the Tangut people, the most important thing in combat is people, horses, and swords.

Almost all warfare is inseparable from men, horses, and swords.

All tactics that are detached from men, horses, and knives are almost not within the scope of their first consideration.

They fought more with bravery than with intelligence.

Whenever there is a war, the first thing they think of is how many men and horses are needed to level each other.

Instead of using any scheme, you can defeat the other party.

Just when Yeli was stunned, Kou Ji had already rushed to a mile outside the gate of Shazhou City.

The Song army in Shazhou City also rushed out.

After the Song army in Shazhou City rushed out, he and the patrol horse guards led by Kou Ji worked together to defeat the Western Xia soldiers and horses guarding the city gate.

Then he quickly rushed out, ready to guard the team escorting grain and grass.

However.

Even with the help of the Song army in the city.

Yeli Yuqi, who reacted, immediately gave up all tactics with his soldiers and horses, rushed out in a swarm, and cut nearly 100 carts of grain and grass from Kou Ji's escort team.

Under the coercion of the Song army and the guards in the city, Yeli Yuqi did not continue to fight.

Instead, he ordered his men and horses to withdraw and return to the camp.
