Chapter 631: Surprise Attack Under Fireworks...... (1st Update)

Chapter 631

Ten breaths later, Fei Ting Darong waved his hand again, and another thousand cavalry rushed out, and with his command, a thousand cavalry on each of the left and right wings galloped out quickly, outflanking the two wings of the camp outside the east gate.

The remaining 1,000 horsemen still stood silently under the city walls, waiting for the order to attack from Fei Ting Darong.

Standing on top of the city, although he couldn't hear anything in his ears except for the piercing chirping, he still had eyes as sharp as eagles.

Seeing the skillful command of this old general, Sa Chen nodded with satisfaction, worthy of an old general who has been in the army for decades, qualifications are always the same thing, the important thing is that he is skilled in the art of war, if he is in such a situation, maybe such an on-the-spot command will not be able to do it like this.

This time, let's see what about those despicable and shameless Song people? Feeling the pain in his ears, Sa Chen wanted to go out and cut off the heads of those damned Song soldiers in person.

I'm going to have a chance...... Sa Chen said to himself, I can only think so in my heart, and my mouth says so, but I can't hear my own voice, this kind of mood is really a wolf.

At this moment, Sachen's eagle-sharp gaze suddenly bulged, and the elite cavalry that rushed past in the first row seemed to have suddenly disappeared, as if it had disappeared from the horizon.

"There is a trap ......" When they rushed to the distance from the high platform, those elite Western Xia cavalry soldiers noticed that about seven or eight steps away from the platform, there was a deep pit with a width of two zhang and a length of more than 100 steps......

The knights used their strength to eat, and worked hard to tighten the reins, even the horse's mouth was cracked and bloody, and the horses were neighed in grief, but in their eagerness, where could they spill their feet.

Nearly half of the more than 200 cavalry who rushed towards the pit fell directly into the pit, while the other half finally stopped embarrassingly.

However, what awaits them is the countless crossbow arrows and arrows like flying locusts, no matter how tough the iron armor on their bodies is, there will still be crossbow arrows that pierce deep into the armor, or pierce the face armor to cause damage.

This is not the end, the second wave has just begun to assault, I heard the sound of drums from the Song army camp, and then I heard a dense creaking sound and the sound of wood crashing, raised my head and looked at the sky, and I could see that a pile of rocks was flying from the air and scattering down.

Although they were not able to inflict much damage on those Western Xia assault formations, they still made their assault formations chaotic for a while.

These are naturally another type of siege weapons brought over by the Planter: catapults. This thing is so close that it can't attack outside the range of the opponent's ranged weapons like a bed crossbow.

But it's still great for defense, but it's okay to use against foot soldiers, and it's a bit lethal enough to deal with scattered cavalry.

"Shoot, keep shooting......" With the roar of the officers, rows of sharp crossbow bolts screeched towards the enemy.

And the two thousand Xixia iron horsemen were quietly approaching both sides of the camp outside the east gate. What they didn't expect was that in the hidden places on both sides of the East Battalion, there were 1,500 heavy iron halls and 500 Yuan Youjia cavalry.

At this moment, the Western Xia cavalry who were forced to the land of Li Xu towards those ghosts and ghosts Chongchong couldn't bear it anymore, put down their armor, and with a wave of their sword, the entire cavalry gushed out like a brown torrent with potential in the dark river.

The gunpowder arrows on the sky were scattered like fireworks, and on the gray-black ground, the air raid had already begun, and a bloody battle was going on.

"Prepare for a surprise attack, no, there is an enemy attack, a whole team, a whole team, there are enemy cavalry on our left side!" The general who was about to command the cavalry to attack the south side of the Song army camp outside the east gate couldn't help but change his face after hearing the rumbling hooves of the day, and he raised his throat and howled.

It is less than one mile, that is, five hundred meters, and the speed of a fast horse only takes thirty seconds, and according to the timekeeping method of this era, it is between eight and ten breaths.

Such a short distance made the Western Xia cavalry, who had just entered the predetermined assault position, barely turn their horses' heads, and they didn't even have time to speed up.

He saw that the enemy cavalry on the opposite side was less than thirty paces away from him, and under the reflection of the fire in the distance and the cold starlight in the sky, the eyes of the Western Xia cavalry suddenly widened.

What they saw was actually the most proud heavy cavalry iron harriers of the Great Xia Kingdom in the past, and at this moment, these iron harriers were silently waving the weapons in their hands, coming towards them, rushing forward.

There was only time to roar and shout a few meaninglessly, and the Xixia Iron Cavalry, which had just been activated, collided with the hoplite cavalry that had been speeding up to the extreme.

The collision between the two sides was like a heavy truck accelerating at full speed hitting a group of tractors that were turning. Accompanied by a dull crashing sound.

The speed of the heavy cavalry of the Great Song suddenly stagnated. However, the formation of the Western Xia cavalry was directly pierced, and countless Western Xia cavalry companies with men and horses were smashed and fractured.

Heavy horses' hooves trampled mercilessly on the bodies of the fallen Western Xia horsemen and their mounts. Blood, shredded flesh, and bone stubble smeared the cold, withered yellow wilderness with a stench of blood.

Liang Yi roared sharply, waved the weapon in his hand, and tried to boost the morale of the soldiers around him, making them raise the spear in their hands and stab towards the gap in the simple wall, so that those more soldiers could use the bows and arrows in their hands to shoot rain arrows like flying locusts, or shoot the Western Xia soldiers and horses who were frantically attacking head-on.

Even if it has been built for a day, but at this moment, under the crazy attack of the Tanguts, there are already several walled walls, which have been dragged down by the Tanguts with cavalry, and the soldiers on both sides have been strangled together.

Compared with these Western Xia soldiers and horses who were angered by the fire of the ancient city of Wuyan, although the Han army under Liang Yiqi was also very brave, but at this moment, the madness of the other party made Liang Yiqi have to take a defensive position.

Fortunately, the Han army brought by him can be regarded as the most morale-high, if those Tibetan troops are used to surrender soldiers, I am afraid that they will not even be able to withstand the first charge of the Western Xia people, and they will scatter in all directions.

After all, if you want to boost the morale of the pawns, you can't do it in a short time, and now, Liang Yiqi can only grit his teeth.

After all, there were only 5,000 Western Xia soldiers and horses that came out of the ancient city of Wuyan, and in such a situation, did he still have to ask for help from the Song army at the east gate, or from the Song cavalry that had been lying in ambush behind him before?
