On the one hand, Xiao Tang, who is determined to kill all the Xia people who entered the country to loot and burn, and on the other hand, he is determined to create more killing karma if he does not go on Hedong Road, and by the way, he also wants to find Xiao Tang and Guan Sheng as the wild rebels who are revenge. Three days later, the two sides finally collided at the foot of Huyan Mountain, and inevitably fought again.

And although Wild Rankui was angry and angry because of the loss of his beloved son, he did not make his mind cloudy because of anger. When they found that the combat strength of the Song army under Xiao Tang's department was indeed far superior to that of the officers and soldiers in various places under the rule of Hedong Road, and Wang Huan and Han Cunbao gradually closed the siege from the flank, the Xia people chose to turn around and retreat, and Xiao Tang did not order the troops to chase and fight, but ordered the crossbowmen of each department to cover the formation, so that the enemy cavalry threw down three or four hundred dead bodies.

The Xia people naturally did not flee just like that, and Xiao Tang also knew very well that the more Song troops he commanded, the more baggage logistics he needed to carry would become a weakness for him to be exposed to the enemy. After suffering some small losses, the Xia people calmly withdrew, retreated to three miles away, and began to organize the formation, intending to re-adopt roundabout tactics to disturb the Song army, or throw off Xiao Tang's men and horses to attack the various state capitals under the rule of Taiyuan Mansion, so as to teach the Song army to stare helplessly.

Three days later, the enemy cavalry suddenly divided into two roads, one of which suddenly launched a charge to the right flank of the three armies of Xiao and Tang, but the two sides did not have a hand-to-hand white-knuckle battle at all, and the Xia people bowed and rode in a large circle, and poured out frantically like locust arrows to the Song army during the gallop. As Yao Pingzhong said, these Xia rangers, who are mainly nomadic tribes, are not some hard bones, but they hate to beat them but can't. This time, the Xia cavalry drew an arc in front of the Song army's formation, and found that there was a danger of being intercepted and encircled, so he immediately galloped over, while doing flying horse shooting, this time the ranger galloped formation was more dispersed than the last time, and it was difficult to cause greater damage to the Xia cavalry with the crossbow arrows of the officers and soldiers of Xiao Tang's department. The two sides shot at each other, and neither of them took advantage of half a point.

In the battle array, Hu Yanzhuo was anxious, and he immediately asked Xiao Tang to lead his 1,000 chain heavy cavalry and 2,000 strong cavalry to pursue the Xia people who were advancing and retreating, but Xiao Tang said slowly: "That guy's attack is to disrupt our army's position, the horse army should not move lightly, and you must always pay attention to the movements of the Xia thieves on the other side." ”

Xiao Tang thought in his heart that Fu Yanzhuo's ability to command the cavalry and his combat quality naturally did not have to be said, but he was also eager to make meritorious contributions and was easy to be impulsive, otherwise in the original book, he would not have lost all the heavy cavalry, and still fell into the plan set up by Song Jiang and Wu in Qingzhou, and only took more than 100 cavalry troops to rush out of the city to capture Song Jiang, but he was stepping into the trap and the people and horses fell down and were captured alive.

Sure enough, just as the Xia cavalry was disturbing and galloping on the right flank of the Song army, trying to attract all the attention of the Song army, another group of Xia light horsemen suddenly urged the horses to gallop forward, and suddenly rushed towards the direction of the left flank of the Song army. There were tens of thousands of Xia people on both wings, and there was dust rising in front of the Song army, and the rolling torrent formed by the rumbling sound of horses' hooves made people couldn't help but tremble when they heard it.

If the general lacks experience in battle, and the impetuous general is the commander in chief and fights with these highly mobile rangers, it is easy to be provoked by the enemy and distracted. Moreover, the riding skills are exquisite, and most of the people have fought as party riders of the regular army of the Xia Kingdom, and when they gallop at high speed, they can completely make the riding formation turn into two, two and four...... The relatively slow-moving Song army's infantry formation was loose and chaotic under the blow of a slight dip, advance and retreat, and wander in circles, and at that time, all the attacks and temptations would become substantive attacks. Tactically speaking, it is also a very handy tactic made by the Xia people, if it rises to the strategic level, the great victories of the Xia army in the previous Song-Xia wars are also targeted in terms of troop allocation, so that the Song army with superior forces is tired of coping.

The rangers are rushing, moving suddenly, avoiding the real and attacking the virtual, and the situation is uncertain. According to Xiao Tang's thoughts, Xia Ren's current style of play is completely "pretending to be forced to run, which is really exciting", in this case, how should he deal with it?

"Pass on our military order, the three armies shrink their formations, form a circle to defend, and all departments strictly obey the order, and do not move lightly!"

Xiao Tang immediately issued an order, the Song army formation in the Taiyuan Mansion new army formation, which was somewhat loose under the attack of the Xia rangers, also gradually contracted, and the rear formation shot out a rain of arrows, and the front formation slowly contracted with spearmen, sword and shield hands and moved back in response to the surrounding parts, and the formation of several Song army soldiers and horses was more cohesive, and the disturbance tactics of the two wings of the Xia people rangers did not seem to have any effect.

And the leader of the party who was leading 5,000 to attack the left flank of the Song army's formation was overjoyed, and the Song army's formation shrank, and he could just lead the people to break through to the east, and the door of Taiyuan Mansion was wide open, as if 5,000 jackals were about to be put into the sheepfold to feast. In the vast desert, the weak eat the strong, for the sake of three points of profit, but seven points of risk, not to mention the counties, towns and villages in the Song Dynasty that are far richer than the nomadic tribes of the Xia people?

But at this time, Baa Ma who led the crowd to rush to the east found that in addition to the Song army formation that contracted the defense, another group of soldiers and horses galloped out, they shouted a neat trumpet, accompanied by the sound of metal friction, a member of the Song general slowly twisted the spear in his hand, held it high above the top, nearly a hundred Taiping cars also stopped in front of the military formation, and the battalions of the Song army behind were already in strict formation, just waiting for the Xia cavalry to attack.

However, the Song army, which only has two or three thousand, dares to come to block Lao Tzu's way!? He didn't know the Chinese characters, and he didn't know that the banner played by the Song army in front of him clearly wrote the words "Yongxing Army Road Marshal Division Soldiers and Horses Supervisor" and "Little Captain Yao Pingzhong", he gritted his teeth fiercely, raised the saber in his hand high, and immediately swung it down, and roared violently: "Release the arrow!" ”

"Flutter flutter!"

The Xia people who galloped on horseback immediately filled their bowstrings and fired arrows. More than a thousand sharp arrows swept through the air, and then fell sharply from mid-air, falling towards Yao Pingzhong's military array!

It's just that the rain of arrows smashed down, compared with the muffled sound of sharp weapons piercing flesh and blood, but the Song army clanged in the formation with the sound of gold and iron colliding, and the soldiers of the Western Army had already been prepared to set up shields to defend, and there were only about a hundred foot soldiers and archers smashing the arrow clusters next to each other. However, except for those who were shot to the point and killed, the rest of the soldiers with two or three sharp arrows stuck in their bodies stood on their own, and they held their positions, and the strict military formation did not cause any disturbance at all.

This group of Song Jun is not a cowardice who is afraid of swords and avoids swords! Such a thought suddenly came to his head, but when he said that there are now five thousand people in the three tribes of the Hedang Xiang under his command, even if the official army is in a big array, can these two or three thousand Song people still stop Lao Tzu's way!?

The Wild Rebellion Leader continued to deal with the Song army on the Hedong Road, originally planning to use the advantage of the Xia cavalry to drag down the Song army on the one hand, and on the other hand, to wantonly plunder the counties, towns and villages under the rule of Dafu Taiyuan Mansion, a famous city in the Hedong Road. After thinking for a while, he finally gave a loud order, and the rest of the party leaders got the order, and the five thousand light horsemen who galloped quickly were divided into two groups in an instant, and the momentum of the rear team slowed down, and the front team drove like a fly, and it was already swept away towards the Song army that was intercepted in front.

"Thief, your mother! I'm waiting for you dogs! Brothers, they are fighting with the bird thieves of the Xia Kingdom again, and they all shine their tricks one by one, don't treat Lao Tzu as a melon skin! ”

A commander beside Yao Pingzhong drew his sword and roared, and the six battalions under his command were already in full battle, and they were about to collide with the surging Xia cavalry!
