Tuoba Ning originally thought that his understanding of the Imperial Army was very deep among the Western Xia people, but now that he really saw the defensive ability of the Imperial Army, he had to re-examine it.

After the 5,000 cavalry were killed and wounded, the Tanguts did not continue to charge, but waited for Tuoba Ning's order.

In normal wartime, the Imperial Army would still collect the enemy's troops and provide medical treatment, but now it is different.

At present, it is the battle stage, and the second division, which is inferior in strength, does not have the energy to deal with the wounded soldiers of these enemies for the time being, and more importantly, the opponent is a Western Xia person.

Because of the cannibalism incident on the border of the Western Xia, the imperial army and people had no mercy for the Western Xia people, and the commanders of several major armies who led the troops to the expedition this time issued an order not to take prisoners.

After the Imperial Army had wiped out all of these enemies, most of them seized the time to rest, while some of the soldiers attached bayonets to their guns and stabbed the living Tanguts to death one by one.

Having witnessed the field combat capability of the Imperial Army, these Western Xia Party members all felt a little timid in their hearts at this moment, and their mouths were a little dry, after all, the firepower network laid by the Imperial Army was really terrifying.

"Hahaha......" Tuoba Ning also noticed that the state of his soldiers was not right, so he suddenly laughed loudly, which immediately attracted everyone to watch.

After getting the attention of all the soldiers, Tuoba Ning used the horsewhip in his hand to point to the position of the imperial army in the distance opposite and said loudly: "Great party warriors, do you see that the powerful enemy is afraid? Do you think you can't defeat the soldiers of the Empire? Do you think you are worse than them? ”

The party members of this era are still a nation with a barbaric atmosphere, so Tuoba Ning's words immediately aroused the enthusiasm of the whole army, and the officers and men of the whole army immediately roared: "We are not afraid!" We have to defeat them! ”

Finally recovering his morale, Tuoba Ning struck while the iron was hot and asked Dilullah, the most valued general beside him, "Can you take this battle?" ”

"Of course!" Wearing iron armor all over her body, and even wearing a full-coverage iron helmet on her head, Dilula Urn responded angrily.

Why did Tuoba Ning order Dilula at such a time?

Because the army led by Dilula is a heavy cavalry unit that imitates the Iron Harrier!

Although the Western Xia was not a large country, its military ranks were very sound, and even the various formations were more complete than those of the empire.

In addition to the light cavalry, Western Xia also had one of the most powerful armies, the Iron Harriers.

The so-called Iron Harrier, also known as "Tielin", is the most famous cavalry in Western Xia, this heavy cavalry corps of 3,000 people, divided into ten teams, each team of 300 people, the team has a captain, as the captain of the "all the fierce generals".

However, although the Iron Harrier is strong, it has always been the trump card elite force that the Western Xia lord must hold in his hands, in addition to using it as the escort of the supreme ruler, it is also used as the "front army" that charges into battle.

This cavalry unit was well-equipped, and could not penetrate on good horses, heavy armor, and stabs, and was twisted with hooks and cables, although it did not fall on a dead horse. In case of battle, the iron cavalry will break through the formation first, and the chaos will impact it; The infantry marched on horseback".

"History of the Song Dynasty • Soldiers" four records: Western Xia "There are Pingxia cavalry, called 'iron harriers', a hundred miles away, thousands of miles and periods, the most able to come and go, if the electric shock Yunfei." Whenever they encounter an enemy in a galloping place on the plains, they use iron harriers to think that they are rushing soldiers." This cavalry was the fiercest cavalry in the world before the appearance of the Mongol iron cavalry, and it was also the nightmare of all party enemies.

It stands to reason that Tuoba Ning belongs to the patriarch of the party item, and he does not have the right and qualification to form the Iron Harrier army, but who made the Western Xia in an eventful autumn, the countries are fighting endlessly, the situation in the world is changing, and the ability of the lord Li Qianshun to restrain the various departments has also declined.

It was in this state that when Tuoba Ning relied on himself to lead his own tribe to raid everywhere, he saved up equipment and money to build an iron harrier army of 2,000 people.

As the saying goes, raising troops for a thousand days is a while, and in the face of the imperial army's 10,000-strong army, Tuoba Ning thought it was time to let this ace army that he had built with a lot of money attack.

After receiving the order, Dilula returned to his own position in the rear, and after conveying some orders, he began to gallop forward slowly with the two thousand cavalry.

The equipment of these two thousand men was luxurious among the Western Xia army, and each soldier was particularly strong, because otherwise, they would not be able to wear heavy full-body armor.

Moreover, this army even wore chain armor on its war horses, whether it was a person or a war horse under its crotch, only two eyes that radiated fierce light were exposed all over the body.

Dilullah's heavy cavalry was at the rear of the formation, as they needed to speed slowly, and when the tin can cavalry succeeded in accelerating, they would turn into an invincible hammer and destroy everything in front of them.

Seeing that his own heavy armored cavalry began to accelerate, Tuoba Ning confidently said to the other generals around him, and said murderously: "Get ready, the first Dilula people have broken through the defensive positions of the imperial army, you immediately lead your troops to follow, this time we will not leave any behind!" ”

The heavy cavalry of Western Xia surged towards the defensive position of the second division of the empire from slow to fast, and this black and oppressive steel cavalry force brought a heavy sense of oppression to the imperial army.

And the even more terrifying thing is that the bullets fired by the ordinary muskets of the imperial army can't penetrate the armor on these Western Xia heavy cavalry at all, so it can be said that the imperial soldiers have lost eighty percent of their abilities.

"Boom, boom!" In the face of the accelerating Western Xia ironclad cavalry, the portable artillery that had been assembled by the Imperial Army finally opened fire.

This kind of artillery, which can be broken down into several parts, has now become one of the standard configurations of the infantry corps, but it is still more troublesome to carry these big guys in the process of long-distance running, so the second division only brought five guns.

The powerful cannonballs fired by the artillery did cause damage to the ironclad cavalry of Western Xia, after all, no matter how strong the armor on their bodies was, they could not withstand the bombardment and explosion of the cannonballs.

It's a pity that the number of artillery of the Second Army is too small, even if each cannon can accurately hit the enemy, but for the two thousand heavy armored cavalry of Western Xia, it is only a drop in the middle.

What really brought great damage to the Western Xia heavy armored cavalry was the horse traps dug by the sappers in front of the battle, although this thing was very inconspicuous and did not cost anything, but it had a miraculous effect against the cavalry.

The Western Xia ironclad cavalry, which was already extremely heavy, galloped in, and as long as the hooves of the war horse stepped into these not deep holes, they were immediately broken by the horse's legs, and then they fell directly to the ground miserably, and then trampled into flesh by the rear army.
