The impact of the huge explosion, where it passed, people turned on their backs, and the black smoke of the explosion swept the earth more and more tightly, and many columns of black smoke that exploded rolled into the air like a whirlwind from the sandy land that had been blown up!
Under this seemingly boundless black smoke, there was a lot of people and horses everywhere, people and horses were trampled and squeezed everywhere, and the frightened coalition soldiers and the horses they sat on were scurrying around the battlefield at a loss......
Seeing that the front army of the coalition army was blown up, Han Shizhong decisively ordered the crossbowmen to attack, taking the opportunity to inflict greater casualties on the coalition army.
Han Shizhong's combination attacked, and the coalition forces suffered at least 10,000 casualties.
And that's not all.
The most important thing is that the attack formation of the coalition forces is chaotic, to be precise, it should be the attack formation of the front army of the coalition army, that is, the tip of the "∧" is chaotic, which leads to the inability of the coalition forces to continue to attack.
If Yue Fei and Wu Jue on both wings decisively sent elite attacks at this time, although the possibility of a big victory in this battle was unlikely, a small victory should be nine out of ten.
But Yue Fei and Wu Jue didn't move.
First, the commander-in-chief Liu Qi did not give the order for them to attack.
Second, they are not willing to only achieve this result - just like Emperor Tianzuo's greatest reliance, at this time, that is, when the coalition army only has the front army to enter the encirclement, tighten their pockets, then the all-cavalry coalition army can still withdraw the large army, and the Liangshan army, which only has 30,000 horse troops, must be able to achieve very limited results, far from the goal that Li Yan wants to subdue Emperor Tianzuo, Western Xia, and the Mongolian tribes in a war, and then the west of Yundi will still be under the threat of Emperor Tianzuo, Western Xia, and the Mongolian tribes. Li Yan couldn't put all his energy on the Yan Land in the east.
Let's talk about the coalition side.
In fact, at present, only the Western Xia Army, which is the former army, has suffered heavy losses, and the Mongol tribes and the Liao army have not suffered much losses.
This is not a good thing for Western Xia.
If the coalition forces withdraw at this time, then the original leading position of the Western Xia in the coalition forces will inevitably be lost.
Moreover, Li Liangfu and others were not reconciled to this result, because they still had a killer plan on their side of the coalition army.
Based on the above, Li Liangfu ordered the Iron Harrier to immediately reorganize his army and continue the attack.
The Iron Harrier was actually quite damaged under this wave of attacks from the Conscienceless Cannon.
But—
The Iron Harriers and centaurs are all dressed in cold-forged armor.
This kind of armor is also known as the scarlet armor, the color is blue and black, smooth and translucent can shine on the hair, with musk skin for the belt to string up, soft and tough, the defensive performance is much stronger than the Song armor, but also greatly strong water Bo Liangshan's iron armor.
Moreover, the most bullying thing is that this kind of cold forging armor, the Song Kingdom, including Shuibo Liangshan, cannot imitate it, that is to say, this kind of armor is a unique treasure armor of the Xixia people.
(If the people of Qingtangqiang used the raw materials produced in the Great Song Dynasty, they would not be able to make cold forging armor.) )
Later, through repeated research, Tang Long and other Gongcao people believed that the problem should appear in the raw materials, that is, the materials produced in the two places are different - the refined iron produced in the two places is different in hardness, plasticity, and strength, and the results are different when processed by the same method. The nail used for cold calcination is called annealing and tempering in the early stage to eliminate material stress, and the cold calcination in the later stage does not need to use fire, and is naturally hammer forged, so the raw material must have two conditions, there is good plasticity (ductility), fatigue resistance and fracture resistance are extended under hammering, and while improving the surface hardness, there is still toughness inside the nail piece, and it will not finally break. However, the material produced by Da Song does not have the conditions for cold forging, and it cannot be processed by cold forging method at all, either too soft or too hard, and the result of such processing is that the nail piece will eventually break due to metal fatigue.
Li Yan, who has been the director of the production department in the steel mill for more than two years, although he does not understand the cold forging process, knows that the cold forging technology is not a technology with limited origin in later generations, so it should be Tang Long that they did not find the right method.
However, in any case, at present, the cold forging armor only belongs to Western Xia, mainly to the Iron Harrier.
The Iron Harrier wearing cold-forged armor has a very amazing defensive power, and it is not even afraid of the outstretched crossbow - more than a dozen steps away, the damage of the Divine Arm Crossbow to it is very limited, and only within ten steps can it cause them a certain amount of damage.
Of course, the thousands of unconscionable cannons before this still killed and injured a lot of iron harriers.
But it also killed less than a third.
With the addition of the iron harrier, there are many horses that are all connected, and some are always spared.
Therefore, so far, the Iron Harrier has only suffered heavy losses, and it has not completely lost its combat effectiveness.
Soon, nearly 2,000 iron harriers formed an army, and then killed the Chinese army of the Liangshan army.
And the Western Xia army behind the Iron Harrier, under Li Liangfu's order, continued to attack in an irregular cone formation.
Seeing that the iron harrier was so difficult, Han Shizhong couldn't help frowning, "This iron harrier really deserves its reputation!" ”
Han Shizhong asked Min Cheng to control his battalion of heavy infantry to slowly retreat, and at the same time ordered the 30,000 infantry troops that had been prepared long ago (20,000 of which were reserved for the people) to prepare to throw thunderbolts.
When the iron harrier reached the throwing range, Han Shizhong waved the flag, and then under the orders of the generals, hundreds of thousands of thunderbolts were thrown out by the Liangshan army within a few breaths.
"Boom Boom Boom Boom ......"
"Boom Boom Boom Boom ......"
"Boom Boom Boom Boom ......"
“……”
Under this wave of thunderous attacks, there were only six or seven hundred powerful iron harriers left, and the front army of the coalition army was less than ten thousand.
Han Shizhong saw the opportunity and decisively ordered a counterattack, and after receiving the order, the soldiers of the Cheng Min battalion immediately threw away the big shield, and then rushed forward with a hammer and a heavy axe, giving a fatal blow to the Iron Harrier Knight who blew up the horse.
The defense of the cold-forged armor is so amazing that even the beam knife cannot be broken, and only heavy weapons such as hammers and heavy axes can kill and injure the Iron Harrier cavalry under their protection.
Therefore, Han Shizhong only equipped the Cheng Min battalion with a hammer and a heavy axe, and took advantage of the fact that the iron harrier was blown up and counterattacked decisively, which could not only take the opportunity to destroy the difficult iron harrier, but also create a chaotic area as a buffer zone to block the cavalry behind the coalition army.
The reason why the cavalry is powerful is because they have a strong impact force, and the infantry is difficult to stop.
If the speed of the cavalry can be slowed down, then they don't really have to be afraid.
Han Shizhong immediately ordered again, and Yang Zhengying rushed forward to meet the iron harrier with a war saber and a hook sickle.
Yang Zhengying was very calm, and commanded his battalion of heavy infantry to move forward steadily, and then cut off the horse's legs.
And because the horse stumbled, the knights of the Iron Harrier rolled to the ground one after another, and then received a fatal blow from Cheng Minying's hammer and heavy axe.
The iron harrier, which was invincible and had left countless legends, was destroyed by Han Shizhong in the chaos.
Li Qianrui, whose martial arts were almost no worse than Lu Junyi, was killed by Cheng Min and Yang Zheng and more than a dozen Liangshan soldiers in the chaotic battle.
When Li Liangfu saw this, his psychology was dripping with blood, he never expected that the invincible Iron Harrier could be folded in the ground!
Moreover, Li Qianrui is the younger brother of Li Qianshun, the lord of Western Xia, and the prince of the Eight Classics, Li Liangfu really doesn't know how to explain to Li Qianshun after he goes back.
The people of the coalition army saw the great damage of Western Xia this time.
Yelude said to Li Liangfu again: "My imperial brother will definitely fulfill his promise to your Xia Kingdom. Then he looked at the banner of Li Yan of the Chinese army, and said: "The rest is up to us." ”
At this point, Li Liangfu saw what he was talking about, so he could only nod and say, "I'll leave it to you." ”
Jerod nodded emphatically, and then ordered the trumpet to be sounded.
Not long after, in the middle and rear sections of the cone-shaped formation, that is, between the two wings of the "∧", a large army of 20,000 horses appeared.
What kind of force is this?
The leader is a tall horse in the Western Regions!
Mobei and the Western Regions are all horse-producing places, and the Khitan has controlled Mobei and the Western Regions for many years, although they have lost again and again in recent years, and have been robbed by the Jurchens and Li Yan, but in fact, Emperor Tianzuo still has a territory with hundreds of thousands of good horses, and that place is Kedun City in Mobei!
And these 20,000 high-headed horses in the Western Regions were selected from the hundreds of thousands of good horses in Kedun City.
The knights on it were all the elite of the elite selected from the Liao, Western Xia, and Mongol tribes.
These 20,000 elite men and horses are the killer weapon of the coalition army.
And the leader of these 20,000 elite men and horses is the first warrior of the Liao State - Wu Yanguang.
There is no one in ten thousand gods and horses with iron spine and silver mane horses, carrying a vulture with a height of more than one meter and nine meters, people and horses are wearing armor, and a steel gun with iron points in his hand, looking from a distance, this fierce general who is one of the horses and horses is like a wild beast!
On the left and the right of Wu Yanguang, there are also two fierce generals who are not suitable for Aliqi and Qiong Demon Nayan.
In addition, the fierce generals of Western Xia and the top warriors of the Mongol tribes were also accompanied by Wu Yanguang.
These 20,000 elite riders didn't come out quickly.
After coming out, it slowly but smoothly assembled into a formation.
It is still a "∧" type of cone array - a slightly smaller cone array.
This is an indomitable array to seek a breakthrough in the central government.
It is also a frontal decisive battle without half-cutting plans.
After forming a battle formation, the 20,000 elite cavalry, within the vast space created by the coalition army, slowly accelerated, preparing for the final decisive battle with the Liangshan army.
On the viewing platform, after Liu Qi looked at the 20,000 elite horses with a clairvoyant mirror, he muttered: "There may be trouble!" ”

Maybe I can't sleep well because of something psychologically, so I got up at two o'clock in the morning, and then I came out of this chapter.
This time, the work is done, and I can finally go to sleep with peace of mind.
May you all have a good day, and may I have a good night's sleep for myself!!
