Among the famous generals of the Song Dynasty known from the later generations of the Xiao and Tang dynasties, at such a time there is no doubt that the names of a large number of generals such as Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, Wu Jue, and Liu Qi who emerged at the turn of the two Song Dynasty are even more widely spread in later generations, and Brother Cha, as the mainstay of the Western Xia army, is not from the Han people of the Central Plains, and his popularity after hundreds of years is naturally far from being comparable with the famous generals belonging to the Great Song Dynasty.

But at least Xiao Tang was very clear that in the Song and Xia wars during the Song Daguan, Zhenghe, and Xuanhe years, the name Cha Ge appeared very frequently, and at such a time Song had Liu Fa and Xia had Cha Ge, and the pair of partial births could be called old enemies, Liu Fa, a famous general who was a leader in the Western Army, was slandered by Tong Guan for disobeying military orders and losing his army after he died in battle according to the original trajectory of his fate, and his son Liu Zhengyan launched the Miao Liu Mutiny, so that Liu Fa did not leave a name in the history of the Song Dynasty. As a famous general in the minority regime in Chinese history, Cha Ge did not stir up half of the Central Plains Dynasty like the generals of Jin Guowushu, Sticky Han, Lou Mur, etc., because in later generations, except for people who are interested in the war history of the Northern Song Dynasty, almost no one knows the names and achievements of the two of them.

But when Xiao Tang came to this era and experienced the war himself, he was more and more able to understand what a tricky opponent Brother Cha was.

Xiao Tang, the Cha Ge, as a child of the Xia royal clan, first showed his edge, it was more than ten years ago that the Song State crusaded against the Tubo tribe of the Hehuang back, although the Xia army was blocked by the Song State in the Huangshui and fell into decline, but it was this Cha Ge who shot the Song army general who intercepted the volley and led the troops to escape. After that, Cha Ge rarely showed his martial prowess on the battlefield, but gradually mastered military power, and proposed many effective military and political reforms to Li Qianshun of the Xia State Army. Although the Western Army of the Great Song Dynasty had many famous generals such as the old Xianggong, the small Xianggong, and Liu Fa to lead the soldiers and horses, Cha Ge rarely suffered defeat when he fought against it.

Because Brother Cha simply did not move, he often avoided the edge of the Song army and attacked the enemy's soft underbelly.

In that year, the Song court once again sent troops to attack the Tubo tribes in the Hehuang and Qingtang regions, and Brother Cha led the Xia army to stay still, and it seemed that he had calculated that the loss of the country's elite soldiers outweighed the losses, so he did not send troops to support the tribes of the tribes hostile to the Song State, but when the Song army won a great victory and achieved the exploits of Tong Guan and even Gao Yu and others in the crusade against the Jishi Army, Brother Cha once again secretly communicated with the Shengqiang and Shuqiang in the west of the Great Song Dynasty Border Court and took advantage of the fact that the Song army was not restored, and the Song army folded Gao Yongnian and other generals, and the Xia State still retained its dominant position in a large area of Hehuang; And this time the Song court and the Xia State used troops, when Liu Fa's troops and horses were at their peak, Brother Cha did not intend to lead the elite of his headquarters to face Liu Fa head-on, and then Liu Fa was coerced by Tong Guan to lead his troops to go out, but Brother Cha immediately gathered the elite of the Xia army to launch the most deadly onslaught on Liu Fa's troops, and then destroyed the city and uprooted the village, causing a heavy blow to the Song army.

If you don't make a move, you will lose your life as soon as you make a move, it seems that Brother Cha is also a handsome person who is very good at judging the situation and grasping the fighter. It is said that when fighting and strategizing, those who are good at fighting can accurately analyze the national strength of both sides of the enemy, the topography of the battle front, the morale of the army and many other aspects to use the "potential" that is beneficial to themselves, and judging from the record of Brother Cha so far, he is undoubtedly a famous general who is very good at grasping that kind of "potential......

Therefore, the momentum of good fighters, such as turning a round stone in the mountain of a thousand people, is also powerful.

"Woo woo~~~" The Xia army suddenly blew the desolate and killing horn in the formation, and the phalanxes of all departments also shouted in unison, the sound was like thunder, and the tooth flags in the big array were erected high. The cone-shaped charging formations of the iron cavalry have also been arranged, and the victory hook of the war horse under the crotch is hung with mace, sabers, spears and other heavy weapons on the horse, but the horse knights are holding bows in their hands, and the arrows and arrows behind their shoulders are also within reach. But seeing that the cavalry of the Xia army is endless, the configuration of the horse army in the army is far more than that of the Song army, after all, the Great Song Dynasty war horse resources are scarce, although there are many talented archers and horsemen among the army generals, but it is necessary to cultivate a large number of archers who can fight well, and there is no need for the innate advantages of the nomadic tribes who are good archers.

And the Song army's side followed Wang Jin's order, the iron armor was sonorous, and the foot soldiers with shields and spears in their hands were also lined up in a dense military formation, and all the military athletes had a scowling face, and the two armies of Song and Xia seemed to be filled with a murderous aura in the sky!

"Report! Xiao Jieshuai, General Hua and others led their troops through Lin Tuoling, killed several groups of Xia army troops who searched the mountains, and also saved Liu Jingluo and General Wu. At this time, he was coming to meet with the section marshal, Liu Jingluo's leg was seriously injured, and General Hua sent the humble horse first, and he came to report to Xiao Festival Marshal to know! ”

At this time, a military official rode up the hill on a fast horse, although the gallop all the way made the military official breathless, but when he took a breath, he immediately reported to Xiao Tang.

Zhu Dingguo, who had escaped from the death battle with the Xia army before, and was now with Xiao Tang, was overjoyed when he heard the words, and said: "God has eyes, I didn't teach Liu Jingluo to be killed by Xia thieves!" ”

"Although Liu Jingluo is not in danger of his life at the moment, but the army of the Xia Kingdom has now bitten our army, but he is still careless......

Xiao Tang read in a deep voice, the cavalry formation in the forefront of the Xia army camp was surging again, and the combination of spearmen, school swordsmen and archers of the Song army formation under Xiao Tang's command formed a circle formation, and the two armies of Song and Xia moved slightly, and the sonorous sound of the iron armor friction in the large array of tens of thousands of horses was like the muffled thunder before the thunderstorm.

At this time, Xu Guanzhong, Xiao Jiasui and others also rode their horses to the slope and looked down, among which Xiao Jiasui had a solemn face and said to Xiao Tang: "Brother, the enemy army is well prepared, but our army is in a hurry. Although it can be hurriedly laid out, it may not be able to deal with the enemy's rear moves, and at the moment I don't know how many ambushes the Xia army has, if it really starts... I'm afraid it will be very bad for our army. ”

Xiao Tang nodded and said: "However, there are many horses in the Xia army, and our army has formed a formation to resist the enemy's cavalry charge, but the speed of action is not as fast as the cavalry, and it is also necessary to maintain a dense gun formation between advance and retreat in order to offset the impact advantage of the Xia cavalry." Looking at the enemy's formation, it is obvious that we will not easily let our army withdraw, I retreat from the enemy's pursuit, but the enemy's cavalry is like flying, and it will inevitably bite our army to the death, if the formation is slightly loosened and broken by the enemy cavalry, the situation is critical. ”

"But if you stay here and spend a long time with the Xia army, I'm afraid that you will repeat the mistake of Liu Jingluo being calculated by the enemy army before......."

On the other side, Xu Guanzhong frowned and said worriedly, although he and Xiao Jiasui were witty, they were not wise and close to demons. It is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, even the think-tank strategists also need to make suggestions according to the trend of the battle, but they are also very clear that Xiao Tang sent troops to rescue Liu Fa, and it is imperative to prevent the Xia army's counterattack in advance, but now there is a lack of support from other Song army troops on the east and west roads, and in the face of the current situation, Xu Guanzhong and Xiao Jiasui are not sure that they can make their soldiers and horses retreat.

Xu Guanzhong thought for a while and said: "Brother, after receiving Liu Jingluo and Wu Song's brother, Rao is our army will inevitably fight with the Xia army, but it must not be fought here." Previously, Liu Jingluo's defeat was also due to the fact that the front army could not break through, and the left and right flanks were held hostage by the enemy.

According to the younger brother's opinion, all the troops and horses of our army must be tightly gathered, and the joint force is to make a breakthrough in one place and march in the direction of Lanzhou. The enemy army wants to entangle our troops and horses here, and even if they pursue our army with the maneuver of the enemy's cavalry, it is better than being attacked by the enemy from all sides and waiting to be killed. ”
