However, it is said that after Xiao Tang led his troops to break through the siege, the Xia army still relied on the advantage of many cavalry to pursue the Song army that moved south. In the absence of infantry coordination, several teams of cavalry either outflanked or assaulted the rear formation and often launched attacks on the large array, while Xiao Tang's officers and troops were in a dense and rigorous formation on the way to the new army.

What's more, there are still a large number of crossbowmen in the Song army array, which is equipped with a range and strength far above the ordinary bow and crossbow, and the buckle of the bow is full of hair, and the dense shooting blow can also make the enemy cavalry fall off their horses, Hugh said that it is a delusion to break into the Song army lineup, that is, to get closer to Germany, the cavalry will also pay great casualties, not to mention that the light cavalry with the equipment and the iron harrier is relatively simple, even if the light cavalry can penetrate the weaker enemy formation, but at this time, the Song army's large array is layered with sword players, Pu knife hands, The pikemen are on standby, even if the Xia army wants to fill in the battle, as long as it is difficult to reap the results.

Since the fierce battles with the several armies led by Brother Cha, it is still necessary to take on more tasks of frontal and fierce battles with the enemy with those war-hardened troops in the Western Army, and the Jingnan Army in Hedong is well-equipped, and Wang Jin has never been negligent after careful training, but even those soldiers who have experienced the war in Hedong, they have been sharpened by real swords and guns on the battlefield are still a little less. The battle that Xiao Tang is facing now is very dangerous, and a defeat may fall into the realm of no return, so Xiao Tang can evacuate from the enemy's designed siege and death in an orderly manner, and will not collapse under the offensive of the Xia State Iron Cavalry, like Wu Jue, Yao Pingzhong, Zhai Xing, Zhai Jin and other fierce generals The veterans of the Western Army under the command of the fierce generals led by the Jing Difficult Army and other troops to maintain the integrity of their own soldiers and horses are definitely indispensable.

But it is precisely because of this that the casualties of the western army under Xiao Tang's command such as Yanyan Road and Jingyuan Road are particularly heavy, together with the losses of soldiers and horses of the forbidden army of other military divisions, even if there are now Zhai Xing, Zhai Jin, and Zhu Dingguo's fierce generals under Liu Fa's command have gathered a lot of troops under the previous defeat and Xiao Tang's division together, and now the Song army on all roads is only worthy of about 20,000 soldiers and horses. There are still many wounded soldiers in the army who are seriously injured but grit their teeth and stand upright, and cannot rest.

Coupled with the continuous attacks and attacks of the Xia army cavalry chasing behind him, the tired tactics used by Brother Cha also made the energy and physical exertion of the Song army under Xiao Tang almost to the limit. It was Xiao Tang under the advice of Xu Guanzhong and others, the Song army in the south of Kaluochuan moved in the fortress built according to the method of building the city and Xu Jin, and rested and rectified, after all, the Xia army relied on the advantage of the number of soldiers and horses and came to attack in turn, and the soldiers under their command were tenacious and fierce, and they also needed to eat, sleep, recuperate, and rest after being born flesh and blood.

On the way to continue the march, Xiao Tang's military armor of the various Song army units was tattered, and the battle robes were soaked in blood. Several cavalry in the Xia army were still like a group of wild wolves that encountered a prey in the wilderness, they gathered and followed all the way, sometimes launching tentative attacks, only waiting for the prey to be unable to resist due to physical exhaustion, and then they swarmed up and tore it apart, and Cha Ge had also led the rest of the Xia army to wave south violently and began to launch a large-scale counteroffensive against the Song army......

On the long Song-Xia border, in addition to the deployment of many regular forbidden troops of the Song army, there are also a large number of people and soldiers who rushed to the front line to be dispatched by the military department, responsible for transmitting the voice, building cities and villages, making ordnance, building roads and bridges, transporting grain and reclamation and other duties, and these days in several plains, hills, valleys between people and horses galloping, the sound of fighting, men's roars and wails, and even the helpless crying of women and children are endless, and then there is the collision of gold and iron junction, and the muffled sound of sharp blades entering the flesh, Countless lives were interrupted and killed in panic.

Cha Ge led several large armies to the south, but wherever the Song army town fortress was closer to it must be broken and leveled, the Xia army attacked and burned all the way, and the Song army and civilian servants even included many family members of the army, and the local people died in a few days.

The two countries of Song and Xia have experienced more than a hundred years of tragic fighting with each other, and all the new and old hatreds are added together, that is, it is not uncommon for many famous generals in the Song army to break the important town of Xia and slaughter and surrender to the army. One of the most effective ways to fight bravely. Although this famous general of the Xia State who has been in battle for a long time is accustomed to seeing extremely tragic scenes, and has long seen the hatred of right and wrong between the two countries, these Song people living in the Song-Xia border pass are not only the logistical help of the enemy's army, but also the resources that can be plundered and used by their own army.

For Xiao Tang and Liu Fa, this is even more so.

Even if it was some Song army villages with a relatively complete defense system, Brother Cha had already allocated troops and horses, and sent some Hengshan Qiang who were accustomed to mountain warfare, or relied on dangerous mountains and mountains to shuttle, or quietly lurked near the Song army's walled city, taking advantage of the fact that the Song army did not react at all, commanding a team of fierce troops to wave the blades in their hands and suddenly gushing out from the surroundings, turning over the city walls, breaking through the city gates, and then letting Xia Junerlang kill the Song soldiers and civilians who were awakened, and blood burst out everywhere in the walled city. The neighing war horses also trampled the defenders of the Song army who tried to resist into a pulp, perhaps just an hour's effort, and the military villages, regardless of the Song forbidden army, the old and weak, women and children, were all slaughtered, and their lives were tragically lost under the crazy counterattack of the Xia army.

In front of the Zhenwu City where Liu Fa led the army to garrison, it was also a killing sound that shook the sky and arrows rained, but seeing that the Xia army was as straight as an ant gathering, it was not afraid to advance against the rolling wood and stones that flew down from time to time, although the defenders of the city also relied on the dangerous and strong fortifications to annihilate the lives of many Xia soldiers who attacked the city, but at this time they were completely beaten by the enemy and could not shrink, and they completely fell into a passive defensive position.

Although there were a lot of corpses under Zhenwu City, the generals of the Xia army who came to attack the city under the order of Brother Cha were very calm, and he said leisurely: "Brother Cha Ning made a clever calculation, and this plan was also successful!" ”
