In the wooded hillside over there, Xiao Jiasui, Xu Guanzhong, and Liu Zhongwu, the nominal commander of the Jingnan Army, led the soldiers of the three battalions to pay close attention to the battle situation below the foothills. Since the beginning of the siege of Yinzhou, Xu Guanzhong's strategies to Xiao Tang were all from the strategic level, disturbing the situation in the eastern part of the Xia Kingdom, and forcing the enemy soldiers and horses under the jurisdiction of the Shenwu Military Division, Xiangyou Military Division, and Jianing Military Division of the Xia Army to be led by their own soldiers and horses. And here the ambush annihilated a large number of the Xia army as much as possible, and all the ambush deployments and tactical strikes arranged successively in the melee were planned and planned by Xiao Jiasui, the commander of the cloth.

As for Liu Zhongwu's stable Chinese army with the golden sword, although now that Xiao Tang has taken over the military power, even the battalions of soldiers and horses under his command must obey the orders of Xiao Jiasui and other strategists, Liu Zhongwu will feel a little unwilling in his heart, but he does not feel resentment towards Xiao Tang because of this.

Because Liu Zhongwu is also a veteran general of the Western Army who has been in charge of the army for many years, he also knows very well that if he wants to change the power of the Song Army on the Eastern Front, and then replace him to dispatch troops and horses to deal with the enemy forces in Rongwei, Xia, Shi, and Yinzhou...... He can't achieve the results that Xiao Tang has set now.

What's more, with great power comes great responsibility.

Liu Zhongwu remembered that when he was the general of Jingyuan Road at the beginning of that year, he had strongly suggested that he should divide the garrison to guard against the enemy, and accurately predicted the combat intentions of the Xia army and broke the enemy's soldiers and horses. Liu Zhongwu, who is well versed in how to behave in officialdom, was at that time to forward the above table of Gao Yu's "meritorious planning", which helped Gao Yu a lot for accumulating merits and transferring to the third lieutenant, and he also had to be recommended by Gao Yu, and he was tired of moving the provincial envoy and Rongzhou defense envoy, which was also the beginning of mutual support and cooperation between Liu Zhongwu of the border court and Gao Yu, the former secretary of the palace.

But then ......

With Liu Zhongwu's status rising in the Western Army, he was even able to stand shoulder to shoulder with Yao Xiong of the Yao clan of Sanyuan Yao in Shaanxi Province, Zhe Keshi of the Zhe clan in Yunzhong and other generals from the Western Army, and he also served as a commander to lead the army to fight against Xia Qiang. However, the good traveler drowned, the good rider fell, and Liu Zhongwu, who had been in the war for a long time, was almost defeated and held accountable, and was almost stripped of his fame and sent to the army.

Liu Zhongwu and Gao Yongnian and other famous generals in the Western Army went west, but because of the rebellion of the Qiang soldiers under the rule of the Song Army, they ended in a fiasco......

This is also the shadow in Liu Zhongwu's heart all along, and now he sees Xiao Tang being ordered in danger, whether it is those close confidants under his command, many generals under the jurisdiction of the Jingnan Army, and soldiers under the Western Army...... Even his most valued son Liu Qi is also under his command to ask for his life, before an army engages with the enemy, the most important thing is that the commander of the army can command the generals under his command to twist into a rope, and the three armies can only be killed by uniting as one, and the two talented strategists under the command of Xiao Tang have a wonderful way to coordinate the layout and arrange the deployment.

Of course, a general should move forward bravely, but the outcome of the battlefield is unpredictable, and the greater the responsibility, a careless person may even lose his career and life... It is not advisable to be arrogant, and sometimes it is necessary to keep a low profile......

Liu Zhongwu thought in his heart, and suddenly he remembered the words that his beloved son Liu Qi had advised him that day, which made Liu Zhongwu even more distracted, and he didn't notice that a large number of Xia army infantry soldiers were gathering into a formation under the hillside.

"Sonorous sonorous ....." several teams of Xia saber shield hands, pikemen rapid movements make the body covered with iron armor sonorous, they hold the spear in hand, the big axe and long knife, under the order of the general of the department lined up in a dense formation, the shield erected, the spear held high, poking out the tip of the cold spear like a forest, with a member of the Xia army in the general shouted, all the staggered soldiers also roared in unison, while pointing the spear forward, step by step to the opposite side of the Song army soldiers who were fighting and fighting!

The commander of the Divine Warrior Division on the left side did not hide the large formation sent by the Guluo, and there was a certain interval between each small army formation, but the enemy army had no way to deal with it, and rushed into the formation rashly, even if it was a team of hundreds or thousands of people, I am afraid that the formation would be completely defeated in an instant with the encirclement of the military formation.

On both flanks of the infantry formation, there were many spearmen and crossbowmen who strode forward in unison, so that there were swords and guns outside the formation, bows and crossbows inside, and axemen were on the inside of the dense formation ready to strangle the enemy troops trapped in the formation. Cavalry soldiers armed with chain hammers, maces, axes, cavalry spears and other horse weapons gathered around Wuzang Guluo, and waited for the Song army to flee after the defeat and escape. The sound of the horn continued and resounded through the sky, and with another roar from the Wuzang Guluo, the spearmen in front of the formation also marched forward in a neat queue, and the cold spear blade was already about to pierce into the body of the Song soldiers in front!

"Mr. Xiao, is it time to issue a flag order?" Seeing that the formation of the Xia army was formed, and it had begun to meet with his own army, another general of the Song army on the hillside looked anxious, and hurriedly said to Xiao Jiasui.

Xiao Jiasui's clenched palms were also full of sweat at this time, and when he glanced at Xu Guanzhong again, he shook his head and said in a deep voice: "No... Wait a while, now you have to lure the Xia army to attack, otherwise the ambush will not be able to avoid the strong and weak......"

And at this time, the large array of spears and steel knives in front of the Xia army on the slope of the hill was endless, and the dazzling cold reflected the foothills that had long been soaked in blood, and the continuous wails resounded in the sky under the neat and uniform attack of the slowly moving large array, and the soldiers of the Song army who suddenly killed were fighting with the Xia army because of the extremely fierce fighting, most of them fought with the enemy in groups of three or five, and the formation arranged by the capital, battalion, and army had already been disrupted. Under the dense and tight onslaught of the enemy, hundreds of Song soldiers had fallen in a pool of blood in an instant, and their bodies were immediately trampled into human shape by the Xia army array!

Seeing that the enemy army assembled in a large array has formed a crushing trend against their own soldiers and horses, Liu Qi and Wu Jue? , Guan Sheng and other generals hurriedly ordered the surrounding soldiers to come closer together, and also planned to form a dense military formation to fight to the death with the enemy. But now, because the enemy and the enemy have long been crowded, stuck in the foothills of the mountain to do a desperate struggle, Rao is someone to open a certain space for movement, but can only be surrounded by the crowded flow of people around or dodge, or fight. In the most stalemate of the war, only the piled up corpses can block the Song Xia soldiers who have already been killed, and where can they quickly arrange a formation to confront the other party?

Seeing that the Song army had begun to rout and began to retreat, trying to gather the formation and then fight with his own side, how could he give the enemy the slightest respite?

"Kill will pass! Flatten the Song Army! He roared, and the iron spear in his hand slashed forward, and at the same time he clamped his legs between the belly of his horse, and rode straight to the diagonal side of the military formation.

The infantry of the Xia army lined up in a military formation responded violently, and they all began to trot slowly, and the rolling iron stream instantly overtook the Wuzang Guluo who was supervising the battle and continued to sprint forward, and hundreds of sharp spears probed forward in front of them, forming a palpitating forest of death. As long as the tiger enters the flock, it eats away at the remnants of the Song army, which has begun to rout, and begins a bloody slaughter!

However, the dense military formation began to accelerate, focusing all his attention on the stubborn Song army in front, and he did not hide the desire of Gu Luo to quickly annihilate this Song army, and at this time he did not take into account the flanks and the emptiness of the rear, but there was no other part to cover and respond.

Seeing that the main general of the Xia army below the hillside intended to attack, Xiao Jiasui's eyes froze, and then he shouted categorically: "Fight the order flag, break the formation!" ”
