Kill Kill Kill –

It was the wheel-type strangulation that began. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Within a radius of several miles, the mobile Song army maintained a huge encirclement and swam, not close to hard combat, all of them flew kites, and at the edge of the circle of a thousand steps, they made projectiles at the Western Xia army formation, which had lost its ability to maneuver.

Such tactics are too cruel.

In the past, there were more than 2,000 orthodox divine arm crossbows in Western Xia, which could also launch a counterattack against the Song army and cause a lot of casualties, but unfortunately those god arm crossbows were put on the heavy cavalry by Xiao Heda in a way of "pressing the size", trying to take away the Yongle army in a wave to reverse the situation.

There must be flaws in the move, and if the move fails to really hurt Gao Fangping, of course, you can only wait to pull the list. The price was that this time, the Song army slaughtered the White Horse Military Division with a very low proportion of battle losses, relying on mobility and equipment advantages, with the movement of 30,000 god arm crossbows.

The strong cavalry chase led to the Western Xia Divine Arm Crossbow, which was held in the hands of the group of horseless hoplites more than twenty miles away.

They can't run, and without horses in the grassland is a dead end, let them escape for three days, and eventually be surrounded and killed by Gao Fangping's light cavalry, and then snatch their orthodox divine crossbows. Damn, the orthodox god arm crossbow is very valuable, okay, you can take it back to fool Gao Yu's father, and sell it to him to make a lot of money.

With YY thinking, listening to the screams and cries of the battlefield on the periphery, which lasted for less than an hour, the overall casualties of the Western Xia White Horse Military Division had exceeded one-third, and there was no effective means of counterattacking at all, so they could only wait for the rain of arrows in the air to fall, taking the lives of many Western Xia people every time.

In the White Horse Military Division, the casualties of war horses are the greatest, and it is their instinct to save their lives in this crisis moment, and of course the cavalry cannot be equipped with bulky shields, so the way for the Western Xia army to avoid the rain of arrows is to use war horses as meat shields.

At this point, the White Horse Army Division almost collapsed, and their belief in horses was horses, so when they gave up their horses, they were no longer White Horse Military Divisions.

At some point, when it was expected that their casualties would be more than three layers, and more than half of the war horses were killed or wounded, Gao Fangping raised the Son of Heaven Sword and said: "Stop shooting, but continue to keep a safe distance and maintain mobile vigilance." ”

After the flag waved, the bloody kite flying tactics finally stopped.

Gao Fangping carried the megaphone on the periphery and said, "Is General Xiao Heda dead?" ”

Xiao Heda walked out with seven arrow wounds, and said with tears in his fists: "Our department is not as good as others, the White Horse Military Division has been defeated, Xiao Heda begged for death." ”

Gao Fangping said: "It's not as serious as begging for death." The war between you and me has come to this point, no one can blame it, as a soldier, there is no place to cry out for injustice if you die in battle. But now that I'm in control of the situation, I'm not so fond of killing, surrender, and don't make fearless sacrifices. Those who put down their weapons are even if they put down the butcher's knife, and it is your national teacher, King Zangming, who has the final say to become a Buddha or not, but in my eyes, if you put down the butcher's knife, you are the people, and I will not kill the people. “

The White Horse Military Division had already collapsed in all directions, and after hearing this, they didn't wait for Xiao Heda's order, nor did they wait for them to think about whether Gao Fangping could be trusted, some of them had already put down their weapons, and then surrendered with blood and tears.

Gao Fangping held the megaphone again and said: "You must see that the essence is that I am here to liberate Western Xia, not to cut people." My policy toward the people since I entered the territory of Western Xia, but I think you will know about it yourself. Not to mention the territory of Western Xia, the 40,000 Western Xia prisoners who followed Chage to invade are still alive and well, they are just serving, and they can go home after the end of the Song Xia War and the expiration of their service. These are all the reputations that I Gao Fangping made with facts. I will not try to convince you to surrender, you are warriors and you have the right to choose to die on the battlefield. But at the same time, I want to say that General Xiao Heda and you have done their best, completely loyal and serving the Western Xia, and at this time, laying down their arms and preserving the only vitality for the Western Xia is not a betrayal, but a correct choice. I won't force you to rebel against the Western Xia, I just don't want you to become the fertilizer of this grassland because of the wrong decisions of the Western Xia court, and you are still the Tangut people, the civilians of the Western Xia. ”

It's a commotion—

More people who were blinded by blood and tears chose to lay down their weapons. Hearing that there was no need to rebel and that they would be able to return to Western Xia to be a citizen in the future, many of them were moved.

Gao Fangping said again: "The person who put down his weapon stands on the right empty-handed, which means that you are the people. I don't force it, but if you are still on the left side with the weapon after ten drums, it means that you are a soldier. I am neither merciful nor cruel, but I will not leave the enemy army by my side, this is responsible for the Song army that followed me in the battle, so don't blame me, I don't kill the people, but I will definitely hack the enemy soldiers to death. I said, being hacked to death as a soldier is considered an honor, but don't shout injustice, no one listens. ”

"Beat the drums!"

Gao Fangping waved his hand for the last time, and the drum like a talisman began to sound slowly.

A ...... Two ...... Three Voices –

As the drums advanced, more and more people moved to the right with the still alive war horses and became "horse people".

But in the end, Xiao Heda still took a group of generals and the remnants of about 3,000 diehards, and chose to stay with the weapons and look like death.

Policies that have already been promulgated cannot be changed at will. Gao Fangping sighed secretly, and finally waved his hand, and reluctantly made the decision to kill this group of loyal ministers and good generals in Western Xia: "Kill all!" ”

A wave of streams!

After the order was given, these last warriors were swallowed up by the salvo of the god's arm crossbow.

The general inevitably died in battle, and Xiao Heda and they succeeded. Although he was defeated, he would also win respect, and he would inevitably become a legend of Western Xia and go down in history.

The nearly 40,000 Tangut people who had surrendered knelt on the ground at this time and wept.

In the past Western Xia army, there were still all kinds of rumors and slanders against Xiao Heda, an outsider. But now, these Tangut people who chose to surrender began to express their respect and nostalgia for Xiao Heda with tears.

This scene was really shocking, even the heartless Gao Fangping was also suppressed, I didn't expect these surrendered Xixia people to react so much to Xiao Heda, the general of the defeated army.

So Gao Fangping, who likes to pretend to be forced, adjusted his strategy in time, dismounted as if he was loyal and brave, saluted the group of bloody corpses, and then said loudly: "Piece together the corpse of General Xiao Heda, cover yourself with the military flag of their White Horse Military Division, and send my Gao Fangping's envoy to send General Xiao Heda's corpse to Xingqing Mansion as a national gift and hand it over to the Western Xia Imperial Court!" ”

"Yes!" Han Shizhong received the order as the messenger of this time.

Since then, the group of surrendered Xixia people have been fooled and lame by Gao Fangping, and they feel that Gao Fangping is really a good person as the legend says, and a great demon king who loves the people like a son. Loving the people like a son is real, and as for the Great Demon King, it is the transformation state when facing the enemy......

The battle of Xiazhou was delayed.

Liu Yanqing's 70,000 new equipment elites, since Shizhou's victory besieged Xiazhou, has been holding back the Xiangyou Military Division and the Jianing Military Division for several months.

However, because Gao Fangping was not allowed to fight hard in Xiazhou, and was not allowed to cause excessive casualties to the elite of the Song army, a large-scale offensive and defensive battle never happened, and Liu Yanqing's main purpose was to besiege and harass.

Local small battles are happening at any time, and the two sides are still in the stage of confrontation.

As for the end of May, Liu Yanqing's psychology is getting more and more anxious.

Although Gao Fangping's strategic instructions in the general direction were correct, the Western Xia people could not afford to spend it, and the siege was the mainstay. However, Liu Yanqing's ministry has received a summary of the news: Gao Fangping's department had also delayed attacking Xiping Mansion earlier, and it was still mainly costly.

Although there were big internal problems in Western Xia due to drought, it was also an extremely dangerous time, because the dog would jump off the wall and make desperate bets.

Liu Yanqing had already reported that Xiao Heda, a famous general of the Liao State, had been activated, and he had already commanded the invincible White Horse Army Division to maneuver in the southeast direction, and the purpose of the battle was to rush to aid Xiazhou.

Such news is a bolt from the blue for Liu Yanqing, from the order of the marshal Gao Fangping, Xiazhou is Liu Yanqing's position, and he can't leave. However, there are 50,000 people from the Xiangyou Army and the Jianing Military Division inside, and more than 50,000 Western Xia ace cavalry from the Xiao Heda Department are approaching Xiazhou.

Then the situation faced by Liu Yanqing's ministry was not weaker than the bloody battle in Hezhong Mansion at that time.

In the handsome tent, his son Liu Guangshi said thoughtfully: "Father, don't be too anxious, although our department is facing a bad situation. However, when the overall situation has not yet reached the top of the dark clouds, the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of Small High Ministers will not sit idly by and watch the internal and external difficulties of our department. Although the main force of the White Horse Military Division is approaching Xiazhou strongly. However, the Ministry of the Little High Prime Minister had already left Yaode City and planned to intercept the White Horse Military Division. ”

After a pause, Liu Guangshi said: "The Ministry of the Little High Minister is also a full cavalry, and he is even more famous for the Divine Marching Army, so the Ministry of the Little High Minister will definitely be able to carry the White Horse Military Division strongly." And now the autumn harvest is still early, Xiazhou is demoralized, besieged to death, and close to the exhaustion of grain and grass, it will not be long before the decisive battle of our department will be ripe. ”

Liu Yanqing sighed: "No one doubts Gao Fangping's march, and I also believe that he can march in advance to stop Xiao Heda's troops from rushing to Xiazhou in the Baichi area." What Ben Shuai is really worried about is that although the Ministry of Ministers of the Small High Rank is also a full cavalry, it only has more than 30,000 horses. Moreover, most of his troops were born in infantry, and his cavalry skills were still poor, so although the morale of his troops was first-class, I was never optimistic that he could withstand the invincible White Horse Army. Once he is defeated, and Xiao Heda is really sent to Xiazhou, then under the complex encirclement inside and outside, and there is no offensive defense, our department will be in danger. ”

Liu Yanqing's worries are also the worries of the generals. Indeed, they never doubted Gao Fangping's bravery and good fighting, and never doubted Gao Fangping's art of war.

It's just that in the endless prairie like the Baichi area, it is difficult to have a trick in the tug-of-war with the White Horse Military Division, and it completely relies on the understanding of cavalry tactics and the exchange of horses' technical skills.

Therefore, under the overall situation that the Song army's horses were not as good as those of Western Xia, and in the case of inferior troops, no one thought that Gao Fangping would be defeated, but they thought that Gao Fangping could not intercept Xiao Heda, and Xiao Heda could finally reach Xiazhou, which is the mainstream view at present......
