Shunning Village is 70 miles east to Pingrong Qi, 90 miles to Jintangcheng in the west, 40 miles to the south of the Security Army, and 40 miles to Wanquan Qi in the north. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 To the north of the security army, it was a strategic point for the Great Song Dynasty and the Western Xia to compete.

At night, Shunning Village is exceptionally quiet, only the sound of wind and sand occasionally drifts by.

At the head of the Walled City of Shunning, the team holding the spear was solidifying, tightening the hard armor on his body, and glancing at his companions around him with a cold gaze. Seeing that his subordinates were sticking to their posts and not being lazy, Gu Shi nodded with satisfaction. He has been in the army for four years, and he has accumulated merit and become a team leader, and his family has more than enough food and clothing. If the fight goes well this time, I am afraid that I will not be promoted to another level, and the child can also go to the city to study.

Since joining the army, Gu Shi has been particularly keen on serving in the army. Because every time he attacked the Great Song Dynasty, he could get a batch of loot. I heard that there are many scholars among the Song people, and it seems that the scholars should be very powerful, but the Great Song Dynasty often loses to Daxia.

I think this time the Great Song will also be defeated! Thinking of this, Gu Shi blinked his eyes, stretched his waist, and turned his head to look out of the city.

In the past few days, the news of the Great Song Dynasty army has been carefully investigated, and the Japanese army has been on guard in these days. I heard that the army in front had already suffered a small defeat, and I had to fight for twelve points. What's more, this Shunning Village is occupied by their own side, and the Song army will not be reconciled. General Li Liangfu had already ordered that the soldiers defending the city must be on duty day and night, anytime and anywhere to prevent the Song army from killing.

It's just that Gu Shi didn't quite understand why the general was afraid of the Song army's attack, and why he sent the troops in the village out of the city. Gu Shi is a small leader in the army, he can't think about it if he can't think about it, he knows that he just needs to do his duty.

The scouts outside the city flocked one after another, but none of them brought news of the movements of the Song army. The patrols in the city and the archers on the arrow towers were all on alert, waiting for the arrival of the Song army.

"Whew-whew-whew-"

"Roar—roar—roar—" Bursts of low roars came from the night, from far and near, as if slow and urgent.

Gu Shi subconsciously glanced south, and when he looked at it, his body suddenly stiffened! This...... This......

The black pressure is like a dark cloud covering the top. After only being stunned for a moment, Gu Shi, who had been in battle for a long time, woke up in an instant, pointed to the moving fire and the crowds of figures in the distance, and shouted loudly: "The Southern Barbarians are here!" The Southern Barbarians are coming! Everyone is ready to meet the enemy! ”

"Tong ...... Open...... Tong ......" while Gushi was shouting heartbreakingly, the war drums in the city also sounded. More than 1,000 party soldiers at the head of the city performed their duties and strengthened the armament for war.

"Brothers, do a good defensive position!"

"To repel the attack of the Song army, there are gold and silver treasures!"

"Kill all these southern barbarians, take their women, and let them know how powerful our party members are!" One by one, the Western Xia soldiers were happy when they heard the battle, waving their weapons and shouting.

Li Liangfu, the general of the Western Xia Army, dressed in armor, stood in the military tent, surrounded by several other lieutenant generals.

"General!" Seeing that the battle was about to begin, an adjutant general couldn't help but remind Li Liangfu.

Li Liangfu took a step, drew his knife in his hand, and once again emphasized the military order. "There is no room for loss in this battle, I hope you and I will stick to this city! Those who delay the fighter plane and retreat without a fight - there is no forgiveness for killing! ”

"No!" Several Western Xia lieutenant generals obeyed the order, and then went out to lead the troops to supervise the battle.

Li Liangfu stayed alone in the military tent, looking into the distance, praying in his heart that the strategy of King Jin could succeed this time.

……

Outside Shunning Village, inside the Song army's position.

The sound of horses' hooves was like thunder, and the earth-shattering sound of war drums broke the silence of the wilderness. A group of Song soldiers with bright armor walked out of the barracks and began to form an attack formation in front of the barracks.

In front of the three armies, Tong Guan sat on the war horse, and his rugged face looked solemn in the night.

"Your Excellency, everything is ready!" Although Wang Yan was a scribe, he had served in the military for a long time and was also a general in the field. Facing Shunning Village in front of him, he was already high-spirited.

Tong Guan looked at this young man who also had a name in front of the official family, nodded slightly, and then said in a calm tone: "Zicai, start attacking!" ”

"The last general obeys!" Wang Yan bowed down to receive the order.

In this war with the Western Xia, Tong Guan transferred 30,000 horses from all over the Western Army, 20,000 Han soldiers and 20,000 people. Known as 100,000 soldiers and horses, they have to compete with Brother Richard, the king of Jin in Western Xia.

But Brother Cha didn't let go of his hands and didn't fight Tong Guan head-on. Relying on the flexibility of the Western Xia cavalry, they harassed the Song army everywhere. In the end, Tong Guan divided the troops into three routes, and the commander of the Dao Shuai Army defended Huanqing Road and served as a support for the armies. Liu Fa and Wang Rin led a team to prevent Brother Cha from attacking the army. And Tong Guan himself, personally commanded the army and went straight to the security army and Shunning Village.

Now the crisis of the security army has been solved, and it will be until Shunning Village is recovered. When the three-way army is encircled, see what Brother Cha can do! Tong Guan's decision to divide the troops this time is also to give the master a good look, so that he knows that he is not the only general in the Western Army who can fight!

Thinking that when the division of the army was sent out, he strongly opposed the division of troops, and Tong Guan was tired for a while. This old man is so ignorant of current affairs, and he always contradicts himself during military discussions, making his identity passive. This time to take Shunning Village and defeat Brother Cha, it must be that even the Dao of the Seed Master should sigh to himself!

As soon as he thought of this, Tong Guan looked at Shunning Village, his eyes were hot.

This time, the army led by Tong Guan is the elite of the Western Army, and it has been tempered by the battle array. Even the Fanhan soldiers who were in reserve had all gone through battles and seen blood.

At this time, the Great Song army, with a team of 1,000 people, quickly divided into three vertical queues. Like three sharp swords, they killed the Western Xia army in Shunning Village. Behind these three teams, there are three teams that surround the entire Shunning Village on three sides, and the three missing ones are the only way to attack the city.

Most of the three thousand-man teams were sword and shield men, and a third of the crossbowmen. Swords and shieldmen are used to storm first, and crossbowmen are used to suppress enemies.

However, this time Tong Guan was ingenious and used a small means. The Song army's war horses galloped, causing the ground to tremble violently and roll up bursts of dust. A hundred cavalry rushed towards Shunning Village and went forward.

On the Shunning Village, Li Liangfu had already climbed the city tower, looking at the hundred horsemen rushing outside the city from afar, and he suddenly felt that his thinking was a little short-circuited.

Cavalry siege! It's the first time I've encountered it, and Tong Guan really dares to think about it!

There are many types of troops, cavalry is good at rushing on the plains and chasing thousands of miles, while infantry is good at hand-to-hand combat and attacking cities.

The Western Xia army is now also a multi-arm troop structure, such as cavalry, infantry, artillery, and sailors, and is divided into capturing army, strong crossbow soldiers, and bearer soldiers due to different combat missions. The Western Xia army was dominated by cavalry, and the cavalry had strong combat capabilities. The elite cavalry composed of the children of the party nobles was called the "Iron Cavalry", or "Iron Harrier". In battle, "with iron cavalry as the front army, riding good horses, heavy armor, stabbing and invulnerable; Twisted with a hook and rope, although it will not fall immediately. In case of battle, the iron cavalry will break through the formation first, and the chaos will impact it; The infantry marched on horseback".

The infantry was the main component of the Western Xia army and was the most numerous. The most elite infantry in Western Xia was composed of Ding Nan, a "mountain tribe", called "Bubazi". "There are mountain tribes, called 'walking and walking', up and down the slopes, in and out of the stream, the most able to surpass the high and far, light feet and good walking." When the Western Xia fought against the Song Dynasty, "when they encountered the enemy in the deep and dangerous places of the valley, they mostly used the 'Bu Bazi' for the purpose of stabbing and covering the attack". "Bubazi" endured hardships and stood up to war, especially the most famous is composed of the Hengshan Party Xiang Qiang, who is called "Shanyi".

Cavalry is often the key to determining the outcome of a war, and it is the trump card in the army for any country. , for the horse-short Song Army, it is even more of a luxury, how can it be so consumed? Li Liangfu had a big question in his heart.

"General, Song Jun is this ......" The adjutant general on the side was even more puzzled than Li Liangfu, but he couldn't ask anymore halfway through the words. Because he could see that the Lord was also suspicious.

In the century-old wars between the Western Xia and the Great Song Dynasty, there were more victories and fewer defeats, and the soldiers looked down on the combat effectiveness of the Song army. The soldiers defending the city in Shunning Village were stunned for a short time, and then many people began to laugh.

"These Song barbarians are really turtles, it's ridiculous to let the cavalry attack the city!"

"What's so strange about this, haha! Song Jun is also a few people who are good enough to see the teacher, how can others be our opponents! ”

"It seems that we will win easily this time, let's just wait to cut off people's heads!"

The laughter and disdain of the soldiers under his command were endless, making Li Liangfu's face change slightly. Underestimating the enemy in front of the battle is a taboo for soldiers, and the color of anger explodes instantly. "The whole army is on alert, waiting to meet the enemy! Those who slack off the army will not be spared! ”

At this moment, seeing that the cavalry of the Song army had arrived at the city, the deputy general of the party gave an order, "Release the arrow!" ”

The Western Xia archers, who had long bent their bows and were ready to shoot, shot sharp arrows together, and hundreds of arrows were shot at the cavalry of the Song army under the city. At the same time, the cavalry of the Song army under the city also threw crockpot oil bottles at the head of the city with this horsepower.

After this round of throwing, the Song cavalry also lost more than 20 people. Not daring to stay, he lined up after beating horses and detouring the formation, and handed over the main battlefield to the infantry.

"Look! What is that! ”

"Be careful!"

The Western Xia soldiers who were preparing for defense looked at the clay pots thrown by the Song army and dodged one after another. The recruit saw the novelty of this thing and wanted to come forward to watch it, but was stopped by the veteran. "Be careful! This is the firearm of the Song people! ”

How could Tong Guan be stupid enough to attack the city with cavalry, he just wanted to make some trouble for the Tanguts. The firearms of the Great Song Dynasty are famous all over the world, although he uses the simplest.

Although the walls of Shunning Village are low, it will obviously suffer heavy casualties if it is thrown out of range of the enemy troops under the city with infantry. So Tong Guan sent cavalry, and with the help of the height and impact of the cavalry, he threw the fire pot on the city wall in one fell swoop.

Although his own cavalry had lost more than twenty, Tong Guan looked at the panicked enemy in Shunning Village and felt that it was worth it!

"Boom, boom!" Hundreds of canisters of fire oil, most of which fell on the pass of the castle tower. The clay pots scattered, the flames clashed, and thick smoke filled the low walls of Shunning Village.

"Ah......" There are new recruits who have never seen a fire attack, and their souls are scattered and they scream.

"Quick! Be careful, put out the fire! The first to react was Li Liangfu, who shouted loudly.

Looking at the soldiers fighting the fire on the city wall, as well as the smoke and fire, Li Liangfu realized that this offensive and defensive battle was not easy. The wind and clouds from earlier faded away, and he prayed in his heart that King Jin's plan would succeed.

"General, no! The Song army began to attack the city! A deputy general pointed to the city and said to the Song army who swarmed up.

Thinking of the bravery of the Western Army, Li Liangfu also had palpitations, and ordered with a calm face: "All the soldiers are guarding their posts!" Crossbowmen, rolling wood, oil, and brimstone are all ready! ”

"Kill!" The shouts of the Song army soldiers under the city sounded, and the first siege formation of the Song army began......
