The Western Xia people seemed to have contempt for the scholars of the Great Song Dynasty, especially the scholars on the battlefield.

Han Qi may have done a good thing, Han Qi is not surprised by this, but it has become "showing the enemy to be weak", and perhaps the passive defensive strategy of the Great Song Dynasty in the past 30 years has also indirectly achieved the effect of "showing the enemy to be weak".

However, Li Liangzuo was still a little worried: "Do you all know that Gan Qi? This person should not be underestimated, he defeated the Khitans, and the Khitans lost their armor. ”

"Your Majesty doesn't have to care too much about the so-called champion and the first, those who can be the champion are all pedantic people, the Khitans are defeated, but this defeat is obviously not because of Ganqi, but because of the barbarians' defection, and the Khitans did not really hurt their bones, the army still swept across the grassland, just to be exterminated, the Khitans will inevitably attack the Song again, at that time the Song is only afraid that it will be difficult to parry." The person who spoke was a Han man, named Wu Zong, and there were many Hanchen in Western Xia, Wu Zong was one of the Han people who were deeply used, and even sent an envoy to Bianliang on behalf of Li Liangzuo.

However, the Han people were officials in Western Xia, and most of these people had one thing in common, that is, they couldn't pass the exam. In the past, Zhang Yuantoe, who gave Li Yuanhao advice to defeat Han Qi, is like this, and now Wu Zong is the same, if he can't pass the Jinshi exam and becomes a courtier of another country, he will criticize the examination system and those who come out of the exam, which is an extremely normal mentality. Zhang Yuantoe's Xia Zhu He Zeng, Han Qi is not surprised, and this mentality is also the same.

Gan Qi, the champion and the first, was a real pedantic scholar in Wu Zong's eyes, so he also attributed Gan Qi's great victory against the Liao State to the rebellion of the barbarians.

"Your Majesty, it doesn't matter how talented Gan Qi is, but most of his subordinates are Yanzhou soldiers, and we know the combat power of Yanzhou soldiers, but it is not so easy to dismiss, if you really go to war, you should be completely prepared." This is Liang Yiburi, who is also a young man, he is the younger brother of Empress Li Liangzuo Liang, and he is also the prime minister of Western Xia.

In the country of Western Xia, the internal struggle was more bloody and cruel than that of the Khitan, and even the founding emperor Li Yuanhao was killed by his own son.

Therefore, it also caused a strange political phenomenon, that is, the emperors of Western Xia did not trust their own families, but trusted the forces of their relatives, and also took the initiative to support the forces of their relatives, which also led to every change of throne and the killing of the uncle and cousin of the empress dowager in an endless stream.

Li Liangzuo also seized power in this way, he killed his uncle, and now he still reuses his brother-in-law. In the future, his son may have to kill his uncle, this is a strange circle.

Li Liangzuo killed a circle of old people such as his uncle, and now he is twenty years old, the prime minister is also this age, and most of the people around him are also of this age, and the current rulers of Western Xia are a group of young people. And it is a group of enterprising young people, who lead troops to the battlefield at every turn.

There are also reasons why the emperor personally led the troops to the battlefield, one is that the Western Xia is too small, and the emperor does not affect the national politics wherever he is, and the other is to stay in the army and control the army, which can be truly safe and ensure that the power is in hand. The third is that these young people really have courage and ambition. Li Liangzuo in history, in fact, was also short-lived, died in his early twenties, and he was also hit by the arrows of the Song people on the battlefield, as for why he died young, there are also different opinions, it is normal to die of illness, and in conspiracy theories, his relative Liang is the culprit.

As soon as Li Langzuo died, the Liang family was in power for 18 years, and the son of Li Liangzuo and the empress Liang succeeded to the throne at the age of seven, was placed under house arrest by the Liang family, and died of depression and untimely death. In the end, the Liang family became the empress dowager and was poisoned, and his grandson Li Qianshun was able to govern himself, overthrow his uncle Liang's family, and lived for more than 50 years. In the Western Xia dynasties, it was the grievances and hatred between the uncle and the nephew, and it became a practice to kill the uncle.

Although Li Liangzuo is only twenty years old now, he has been the emperor for 19 years, and he has also experienced bloody political struggles.

However, he still made up his mind: "In the war, most of the iron harriers are there, with 20,000 iron harriers, they can also be invincible, if this battle is won, the Song people will no longer have the courage to compete with our party in the future. The soldiers of the northwest, when they see our party's army in the future, will inevitably flee in the wind. ”

Li Liangzuo is very smart, the benefits of victory are too great, the battle of Haoshuichuan in the past broke the backbone of the Western Army for thirty years, and if there is another victory, the Song people will definitely never dare to compete with it again.

Wu Zong immediately supported: "Your Majesty, then you should fight quickly, once you wait for the reinforcements of the various military divisions to come, you are afraid that the Song people will turn around and run away, and then retreat into the city." ”

Li Liangzuo nodded and raised his knife: "Beat the drum to gather troops and go out of the city to fight!" ”

Ganqi, who was outside the city, finally waited for the party to leave the city, and the ironclad cavalry rushed out of the gates like a flood and lined up in the southern city.

The big drum in Ganqi's army was also ringing, and the overjoyed Di Yong also smiled beside Ganqi: "Xianggong, the party dog is out, haha...... Wise and wise! ”

Gan Qi was excited, but he just said: "It's a hard fight." ”

The Iron Harrier, although it is no longer the Iron Harrier of the past, but the armored horse, the equipment is no worse than the iron armor under Gan Qi's command, this is undoubtedly a hard battle.

But if this bitter battle is won, the benefits for Gan Qi are also great, the defeat of Li Liangzuo in the first battle, and the party and other state capitals, I am afraid that it will also be invincible, not to mention the benefits of the confidence of the Song army.

This is also the reason why Ganchi seeks to fight, the belief of the army is too important. In the past, this was the case in Yanyun, and today it is also the same in the northwest, and only an army with the belief in victory can truly give full play to its due combat effectiveness.

Di Yong heard Gan Qi's worries, and spoke directly: "Big brother, I'm a pioneer!" ”

Ganchi shook his head and shouted, "Uguru! ”

The military general Uguru approached and bowed, and his Chinese became more and more proficient: "The last general." ”

"Connect all the horses, you will be the vanguard, and the dumb will give you the formation." Gan Qi's old tricks are repeated, and the Jurchens are too easy to use, and if you fight a tough battle, you have to use the Jurchens.

Of course, now under the command of Uguru, it is not only the Jurchens, but also many Han warriors, this is also for the future, after all, we can't always rely on the Jurchens who are fighting less and less, and the vanguard in the future will still have to be the Han themselves, as long as they continue to fight like this, the Han cavalry will definitely not be worse than the Jurchens in the future. This was what Gan Qi thought in his heart, as if he was training the Han cavalry.

"Yes!" Uguru didn't say a word, turned around and went to make arrangements.

Di Yong hurriedly asked, "Big brother, what about me?" ”

"You take the foot soldiers of Yanzhou and Suizhou, and together with the kind of stunned, guard against the two wings. The cavalry tactics are nothing more than the attack of the Chinese army, interspersed with two wings. You go to the left flank, and you are stunned to the right flank, and you must use a tight formation, spears like a forest, to block the iron harriers attacking on both flanks for some time, so that Uguru can break through to the party's central army. Ganchi arranged.

The Western Army has too much experience in dealing with Iron Harriers. Heavy weapons, big knives, tripping horses, chopping horses' legs, smashing heavy armor, have been practiced countless times over the past decades.

Di Yong was a little unhappy, he was more willing to fight his horse and rush into battle, that was happy, but Gan Qi's order had been given, and he didn't say much, he obviously knew why Gan Qi arranged it this way, just because his Di family had a very high prestige in the Western Army, and there must be a morale booster on the battlefield.

The same is true of Chong Zang, his own people and horses naturally believe in him.

In the south of the small city of Longzhou, the dust flew in an instant, and the horns and drums of the two sides could hear each other.

Now Gan Qi no longer rushes to the front, fighting horses in the Chinese army, there are more than 10,000 cavalry in front, left and right are the Western Army foot soldiers, and there are bows and crossbows and arrows beside him.

Gan Qi once again wore a golden armor, which was particularly conspicuous.

Li Liangzuo, who was in the Chinese army opposite, saw Gan Qi's golden armor from a distance, and unconsciously looked at himself, his face was a little unsightly, why? Because Li Liangzuo himself is wearing a silver armor.

The gold and silver armor are all because of the decoration on the outside of the armor, just to reflect the light and attract attention.

But today's comparison, Li Liangzuo was extremely unhappy in his heart, so he opened his mouth and shouted: "Beat the drum, hit the drum, attack!" ”

Li Liangzuo fell in love with the golden armor on Gan Qi's body, and was ready to take it and replace it. The gold armor is much better than the silver armor, not only the appearance, but also the silver armor is difficult to maintain, easy to oxidize and blacken, and it must be wiped all the time. However, the craftsmanship of the gold armor is extremely demanding, and the craftsmanship of beating the gold leaf is only done well by the top craftsmen of the Song Dynasty.

The drums beat tightly, and the horse's hooves shook the sky.

Gan Qi looked at the party cavalry rushing from afar, but he was not so anxious, horses are like people, they will die when they are exhausted, and the maximum speed of the charge is difficult to maintain for too long, so Gan Qi raised his hand and did not put it down.

Estimating the distance between the two sides, it was almost over, and as soon as Gan Qi's hand fell, the drum next to him immediately rang out.

After Yan Uguru, he took the lead, like a sharp arrow, and now almost eighteen years old, Uguru, finally changed his weapon, a huge mixed iron mace, weighing at least forty or fifty pounds, under the urging of his strong muscles like an ox, it was round, and there were no moves to come and go, just pick.

Ganba, who pressed the formation, was just behind Uguru, and his Pu knife, which was several circles bigger, was no longer sharp, like iron, and it was also a stroke.

The scene is ugly, not exciting, the fast horses are staggered quickly, and the heavy objects picked up, like a battering ram, are struck down, no matter how thick the iron armor is, it is also the bones and five organs are broken, if it hits the head, it is even more red and white.

Feathered arrows are not the focus of the battlefield, they come and go, and they only hear the clanging sound.

Gan Qi of the Chinese army was not excited, and his adrenaline was not soaring, and he watched all this coldly.

On the contrary, although Li Liangzuo, the emperor of Western Xia, was not the first soldier, he was also in the charging array, charging with cavalry, but the pressure hit instantly, and the rows of Song cavalry connected by iron locks swept like sharp scythes. The more Li Liangzuo rushed, the more frightened he became.

Song cavalry, when can they fight like this?

The Song people didn't even have a few horses to use before, so how could they suddenly have such elite heavy armored cavalry?

This...... It's unreasonable!

The cavalry of the Western Army, Li Liangzuo has not seen it, let alone fought it, which is too unreasonable.

Liang Yibury was also shocked, and asked, "Your Majesty, is this ...... That's not right. ”

"There is fraud, there is fraud, there is fraud." Li Liangzuo said again and again.

"Where's the fraud?" Liang Yibury immediately asked.

Li Liangzuo immediately guessed an answer: "This, isn't this the cavalry of the Khitans?" Has the Khitan Pi Room Army surrendered to the Song Dynasty? ”

"Your Majesty, it's impossible, the elite of the Khitans has not been lost, and they are fighting in the grassland." Liang Yibury hurriedly replied.

"Don't panic." Li Liangzuo seemed to comfort Liang Yiburi, as if to comfort himself, looked up to the left and right, and said: "The two wings have been out, the Chinese army has resisted, just wait for the two wings to break through the enemy formation, and the enemy will inevitably be in chaos." ”

Li Liangzuo is good at fighting, he has already arranged the cavalry on both wings to attack, directly into the Song people's array, as long as the two wings break through, the battle will be won.

Gan Qi knew that the cavalry was fighting, nothing more than that, the Huns fought like this, the Turks fought like this, and the Mongols in the future ate this trick all over the world.

The reason why Gan Qi dealt with it so calmly was that he had confidence in his cavalry, and he rushed forward and attacked fiercely.

The party cavalry on both flanks quickly interspersed and rushed straight to the infantry formation on both flanks of the Ganqi array.

For a while, people turned over on their backs, and the soldiers of the Western Army were knocked into countless flights, but the Western Army quickly stabilized the formation, the courage of the Western Army, at this time, even in the face of the rushing cavalry, it was good not to retreat, the spear was erected like a forest, the tail of the gun was on the ground, and the person half-squatted down, aiming the head of the gun at the horse, row by row, all so close.

The big hammer and the big pu knife in the back were waiting, and the tripping horse pulled up.

No more, the soldier leaped up, met the fast horse, took the knight on horseback in his arms, dragged him down, and rolled and fought on the ground.

Whether the soldiers are brave or not, it all depends on whether the main general is brave, Di Yong and Chong are stunned, that is, the courage of the brave, and there is also a young general who is holding a party knight
