At the same time that this group of Song troops rushed out of the drawbridge, the foot soldiers of the Western Xia army had also rushed to the outside of the pass, they did not form a queue, but scattered and rushed towards the pass irregularly, although the artillery on the pass was powerful, but it did not cause them much damage, because the actual iron cannonballs could only be effective against the dense queue.

But the cannon paused for a moment, and when it rang out again, the point of the shell suddenly changed, and instead of bombing aimlessly among them, it was aimed at the five thousand iron harriers behind them.

Iron Harrier, is a kind of cavalry unique to the Western Xia Army, the men and horses are all heavy armor, the knife can not be broken and the arrow can not enter, plus the horse body is connected together with iron locks, so almost no one can stop when it is a horizontal impact, so the Song and Xia wars over the years, it can be said that the Song Army is enough of the suffering of this Iron Harrier.

The tactics of the Western Xia army at this juncture were very simple, the speed of the foot was fast and good at climbing, so as the vanguard, as long as the gate could be opened while the chaos was open, then the iron harrier could rush into the pass after him, and the cavalry of the Song army was bound to be unable to resist.

Outside Jincheng Pass, a horse Pingchuan, originally the iron harrier this kind of obvious target cavalry is the obvious target of the artillery, but the commander of the Western Xia obviously wants to fight, if the Song army aims the cannon at the iron harrier, then Bubazi can take advantage of the chaos to rush to the pass, but if the muzzle of the cannon is to attack Bubazi first, then the iron harrier will be quickly pressed.

I have to say that the Western Xia commander's abacus is very fine, and one of the two branches of the army can always break through the pass, but they didn't expect the Song army to abandon the infantry outside the switch, but to shell the iron harrier in the distance, which made the Chinese army commander a little surprised.

The Iron Harriers were well-equipped and not easy to organize, and the commander of the Chinese army immediately ordered them to stop, but when he had just given the order, he discovered another thing—the footmen who were close to the drawbridge could not advance half a step, because the Song army that rushed out blocked them, and at this time, these selected mountain people became isolated and helpless.

This group of Song soldiers are all long and strong descendants, all black helmets and black armor, holding spears, tightly clamping their arms under their ribs, and the sharp spear mouth is aimed straight at the front of the horse's head.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

This group of Song troops only had 3,000 people, which seemed so insignificant in front of the huge Western Xia army, but each of them seemed to hold back their strength, roared to the sky, and rushed out without any scruples.

Cavalry is born to be the nemesis of infantry, not to mention this kind of unarmored foot in order to be light, under the horse's hooves flying, the spear does not need any tricks at all, just stand in front of the horse, and the speed of the horse alone can easily overturn any infantry that stands in front of them.

For a while, the screams outside Jincheng Pass continued, and the pieces of footsteps were torn to pieces under the impact of the Song army's iron cavalry and trampled into flesh, and in just a moment, it became a blood-colored plain.

The commander of the Chinese army in the distance saw it clearly, and was immediately shocked, and hurriedly ordered to give way to Bazi to retreat, today's battle has completely exceeded his expectations, originally he could still rely on the fireball car's long-range throw to suppress the closed artillery, but the hundreds of fast riders that suddenly appeared destroyed his fireball car in just a moment, which made his calculation suddenly deviate greatly.

The infantains have long lost their will to fight, and when they saw the banner of the order, they immediately turned around and rushed to flee, wishing that they could give birth to two more legs, and the commander of the Chinese army couldn't care so much, so he ordered the iron harrier to quickly press up to meet the infantrymen who were only half left.

The Korean flag waved in the wind, and the cavalry of the Song army suddenly lined up, not chasing, and letting the foot soldiers run away, seeing that they were about to merge with the iron harriers, the big flag suddenly moved again, and the top of the flagpole pointed sharply in the direction of the Xia army.

The three thousand horses neighed in unison, and with a wave of their front hooves, they galloped out again and pursued the fleeing insteps.

Xu Zizhen, who was surrounded by him, saw it from a distance, and was suddenly shocked and anxious, and scolded: "Who the is this? Dare to rush over even this little soldier? ”

Although he has never fought with the Iron Harrier, but the cavalry that is besieging him now has made him a little unbearable, the Western Xia cavalry is well-equipped and the attack is brave, and the five thousand Iron Harriers have been screened a lot, and the equipment is far better than that of ordinary cavalry, how can it be easy to deal with?

The three thousand Song troops rushed towards the combination of the iron harriers and the infantry, which in Xu Zizhen's eyes was tantamount to moths to a fire, and I was afraid that it would only take a moment to be wiped out.

At this moment, Xu Zizhen felt a deep powerlessness, he wanted to rush over to stop him, but he was also under siege, and he was afraid that it would not be long before he would have the same fate as the three thousand centaurs.

As he expected, the Iron Harrier and the Infantry soon converged in one place, and immediately formed a new formation, the cavalry was in front of the infantry behind, regrouping the formation towards the three thousand Song cavalry to counterattack, the Iron Harriers were not slow, and slowly and methodically marched, and the infantry soldiers followed closely behind, with steel knives in hand, waiting for the Song army to be rushed off their horses to make up for it.

But at this moment, an unexpected scene appeared to Xu Zizhen, the three thousand Song soldiers put away the spear and replaced it with a longbow at the same time, and then each took out the fire medium from his arms, opened the lid and bit it in his mouth, and then pulled out a long arrow from the quiver on his waist, and a small bamboo tube was tightly tied to the arrow, and a thin fuse was pulled out next to it.

"Open the bow! Ignition! Shoot! ”

With a loud shout, everyone drew the bowstring in unison, and at the same time bit the fire medium with their mouths to ignite the fuse of the bamboo tube on the arrow, and three thousand people, three thousand arrows, all flew out of the arcane and landed in the iron harrier array not far away.

The armor of the Iron Harriers was specially made, and ordinary feathered arrows could not penetrate it at all, and this time was naturally no exception, but before the sneers of these Iron Harriers could be heard, a series of explosions rang out first, and those bamboo tubes contained gunpowder.

Rumble!

The flames were everywhere, the smoke was rolling, and an explosion that shook the heavens and the earth sounded in the iron harrier queue, and those war horses were almost flawless in their armor, and the power of this small bamboo tube of gunpowder was not enough to cause them too much damage, but beasts are beasts after all, how can they withstand the fright of the explosion, and most of the war horses were frightened at the moment, and even some immediately turned around and wanted to escape.

The horses of the Iron Harrier were all connected by iron cables, and after this burst of explosions, the originally uniform array instantly became extremely chaotic, and most of the five thousand war horses fled because of fright, but they were soon tripped by the iron cables, one after another, like dominoes, and most of them fell in a blink of an eye.

Immediately, the cavalry didn't even have time to escape, they were crushed by the fallen war horses, and some were even crushed to death on the spot, Xu Zizhen saw it clearly, and was suddenly surprised and happy, and blurted out: "Damn!" Rocket? Who the came up with this? ”

The formation of the three thousand Song army changed again, and it also became a cone, they no longer cared about the chaotic five thousand iron harriers, but rushed in the direction of Xu Zizhen, the front end of the cone was a sloppy middle-aged man with a full beard, he stood on horseback with a spear in his hand, and laughed loudly: "Brother, brother, I'm here to save you!" ”
