Wei Mingqu calmly observed the battle situation ahead.

Half of the camp has been bulldozed by the Liangshan army, the arrows on both sides cut through the sky, and the Liangshan army even fired fire arrows to burn the fence military tent. But the battle line was still deadlocked in the front village, where it seemed to be a bottomless abyss, which had devoured the lives of more than 3,000 Western Xia soldiers. The Liangshan army broke through the gap several times in succession, but the number of Western Xia troops inside was really quite large, and they sacrificed their lives one by one to fight hard, and soon recaptured it. The battle is still hot, and it seems to be deadlocked.

Both sides were equipped with heavy weapons, that is, blunt weapons. Such as axes, hammers, maces.

This is guarding against the opposing hoplites. Let your whole body be covered with thick iron armor, you can't cut through the knife, you can't pierce the gun, but if you are hit with a hammer on the head? The iron hood can't stop it.

It's just that the garrison of Liangshan and the tribal army of Western Xia can't all wear heavy armor ......, and that's only a small part.

And heavy weapons are absolutely deadly for the Liangshan army wearing leather armor and cotton armor, or the Xixia tribesmen wearing leather felt blankets.

The shouts of killing, the screams, the wails, this tragic scene is enough to disturb people's thoughts. If you add the strong demand of your subordinates, it will make you even more dispossessed. But Lu Qian didn't, he had already seen a lot of such battles; Li Heda did not either, and let his subordinates ask several times to send heavy infantry to reinforce the front army.

It's just a battle in front, the crossbowmen on both sides who were mighty earlier are useless, the two armies only fight hand-to-hand, and the archers on both sides throw their arrows towards the rear of the battle line, and under this kind of collision and fighting, the casualty rate of the Western Xia army is obviously more than that of the Liangshan army.

"Poof-" Dropping the knife and slashing off a hideous-looking head, Cao Liang's face was stained red with splattered blood. But he just laughed, this was the fifth Western Xia soldier he had cut down!

At the beginning, Cao Cheng and Cao Liang's brothers joined the Liangshan Army with Zhang Yong, who was promoted to the commander of the garrison because of his merits, and Er Cao served as the chief and deputy head of the capital under his command. Now Zhang Yong has been a soldier and horse envoy in Hedong, and his brother Cao Cheng has also become a deputy envoy of soldiers and horses, and Li Hong, a horse friend, has also been promoted to the commander by virtue of his merits after entering Hedong. Who told him not to go to Hedong in the first place?

This step is a step by step. Cao Liang made a wrong step and fell behind step by step. Seeing that his former brothers are all developed, how can he not be in a hurry, how can he not be ashamed?

This time he was transferred to Hedong, and then he was transferred to northern Shaanxi, Cao Liang had no worries in his heart, and some of them were dedicated to meritorious service.

"Woo woo woo ......"

The sound of bullhorns sounded in front of them, and the Western Xia soldiers who were still fighting desperately one moment ago poured down like a tide the next moment.

"Where to run-" Cao Liang's sixth target was entangled by him, and this is still an official. The already panicked Western Xia officers were even more distraught and cowardly at this time, and their intention to retreat was born, and they were not Cao Liang's opponents. With the help of the Liangshan armor soldier holding a spear next to him, Cao Liang slashed at the chest of the Western Xia officer a few rounds later.

Another credit has been given!

took another step forward, turned out the untie knife, and cut off the head of the Western Xia officer, the bloody head was grabbed by Cao Liang without disgust, and the bloody face was rippling with a cheerful smile, but in the eyes of people who don't know it, it was extremely fierce, extremely bloodthirsty, and extremely hideous. He looked at the retreating Xixia soldiers, shook the head in his hand vigorously, and scolded and laughed freely.

"Seed, waste, a flock of pickled birds and warriors, all the shit-"

A sharp whistle blew in the formation, and Cao Liang kicked the head away, turned around and quickly returned to the team.

The Tanguts retreated, and the Liangshan army advanced. But it was the new force, such as Cao Liang's battalion, which was relegated to the second line.

Li Heda watched the Western Xia army fight and retreat, and arrived at the second line of defense, a very rudimentary line of defense, as if it had been formed temporarily. The morale of the Liangshan army on the opposite side was high, and the soldiers were transferred back and forth, and the fighting spirit of this new force was even higher.

He asked people to blow the trumpet and retreat before, not because he had any magic in his heart, but because he saw that the tribal army in front of him was about to be unable to support it, and instead of spending a moment and a half with the Liangshan army and making them collapse by themselves, it was better to retreat in advance. And if you can't resist it, then ......

Li Heda was thinking in his heart, and he kept thinking about it. And the face of Wei Mingqu Huai next to him was full of anger, obviously angry at the combat effectiveness of the clan soldiers. It also failed too quickly. And you must know that most of the infantry troops of the Liangshan Army are garrisons in Hedong and northern Hebei, and they know this clearly. In the eyes of the Western Xia people, this garrison army was directly equivalent to the Song army's Xiang army, and Lu Qian's pro-army was like the forbidden army of Zhao and Song.

This army has the combat power of a bird?

Of course, the tribal soldiers are rotten, and even if they can't resist it in the end, they are far from being on the verge ......of rout so quickly.

But that's what happened.

"Duoliding is also a tiger general, but unfortunately, he faced the Liangshan thief." Li Heda stopped talking at the moment, just made a move of his hand and shouted: "Pass my general order, and tell both sides to step forward with heavy steps!" ”

This is a helpless move, you can't just start fighting, and the front army will lose the battle and lose the upper hand, right? And with this defeat, this military village can't hold it now.

Looking at the car, Lu Qian put away the clairvoyant mirror and gave an order to the people around him, who waved the order flag again and again, and Sai Rengui, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately jumped up and shouted: "Armor, armor!" "It's time for them to make their debut.

No one knew that when Song Xia and Qi dispatched troops from the three directions, a thousand armored iron horses, followed by three hundred four-** cars, had already gone north in a straight line from Fenzhou, crossed the Yellow River, trekked hundreds of miles, and entered northern Shaanxi.

There are 2,000 people on the 1,000 heavy cavalry alone, and yesterday, Lu Qian let go of the guards and horses, and hid the tiger camp. Now that's where they finally come in.

The Western Xia army also had heavy cavalry, and the iron harriers in their early years were also formidable for a while. The Song army and the Liao army have all suffered from them.

But just like the Liao Army's Tielin Army, time is invincible, and the Iron Harrier who was sharp at the beginning has long since ceased to exist.

But whether Li Heda is famous or famous, everyone is no stranger to it.

This is a monument in their Western Xia history. Back then, it was the trump card in Li Yuanhao's hand, in addition to using it as his own guard, he used it to charge into battle.

The Iron Harrier is well-armed, and cannot be penetrated by good horses, heavy armor, and stabs, and is twisted with hooks and cables, although it does not fall immediately after death.

That is, a man is tied to a war horse, and he does not fall down when he dies.

In several major battles of the founding of the Western Xia Kingdom, Li Yuanhao first went out of the iron cavalry to break through the battle every time he encountered a battle, and he attacked it when he was in chaos; The infantry marched on horseback.

It's just that their number is too small, only three thousand, and three hundred people are divided into ten teams.

There are few people like this, not only because their personnel are extremely brave, but because when Li Yuanhao had just established the country, the family background of Western Xia was far less strong than that of later generations.

But later, the family background of Western Xia was strong, but the spirit of courage and martial arts also faded. As the personal guard of the Western Xia Lord, it is difficult to say how many opportunities they have to experience the battlefield, and the selection method of this army is basically hereditary, father to son, son to grandson, from generation to generation, it is hard to believe that they still have martial arts in their blood.

Li Heda and Wei Ming Qu Huai are both Western Xia generals, how could they not have seen the iron harrier that has long been out of character. Seeing that the Liangshan army suddenly poured out an armored iron horse, Li Heda's face immediately changed.

At the stall where he used the heavy infantry to flank the advance of the Liangshan Army, he suddenly killed an armored iron cavalry, which was also divided into two, and rushed to kill the heavy infantry on both wings, how could he not break out in a cold sweat?

"Stop, tell them to stop. Crossbowmen, quick-adjust crossbowmen to step forward—"

The only way to deal with the armored iron cavalry is to rely on crossbowmen, just as the Song army can deal with the iron harriers. The crossbow first consumes some of their strength, and then the hoplites are molested together, like a solid rock, resisting the hooves of their horses. When these armored monsters stopped, they didn't have to worry about it.

Lu Qian's eyes narrowed, he could see the changes of the Western Xia army clearly, and asked Zhu Wu beside him with a smile, "In the current situation, what do you think our army should do?" ”

A layer of sweat had unconsciously risen on Zhu Wu's forehead, standing in such a place, overlooking the overall situation, this was the first time he had experienced it.

It's an honor and a responsibility. Real talents will not be pressed by responsibility, just like Zhu Wu now, after hearing Lu Qian's question, he said without thinking about it: "The minister thinks that at this moment, he should send out two wings of infantry and approach the left and right of the battlefield." ”

The Western Xia army under this Yongle City can even lay down eleven camps, although because of yesterday's cavalry defeat, and gave up most of them, leaving only four places near the direction of the mountain road, but the current battlefield is only one of them.

Zhu Wu didn't think that there could be such a large number of soldiers and horses in a Western Xia military camp, and the Western Xia commander on the opposite side must have drawn a lot of troops from other camps, but this did not mean that the Western Xia soldiers in the other three camps were not in danger.

At this time, in order to ensure that when the Tiger Battalion attacked, their flanks would not be disturbed, they had to send out two wings to protect the Tiger Battalion.

Wei Ming Qu Huai personally led the heavy infantry to attack, and now his eyes were blood-red, looking at the heavy cavalry of the Liangshan army rushing to him, and looking at the crossbowmen who were far from arriving in the rear, he could only call the heavy infantry around him to line up the phalanx.

It's just that hoplites are not necessarily pikemen, and even the vast majority of them do not have pikes. Wei Ming Qu Huai hurriedly dispatched the pikemen to come forward, but it was too late.

The terrifying roar was already in sight, and they were indeed heavily armoured, with only four of the horse's calves exposed. And the cavalry could not see a single spear with a short arm! This huge weight and the speed of running, once it hits the infantry formation, the consequences are ...... and unimaginable.

Wei Ming Qu Huai had never been so flustered for a moment as he was now, because he knew that his men couldn't stop it!

The earth shook, the mountains shook, the waves crashed against the shore, and all the words were not enough to describe the terrible scene when the heavy cavalry launched an onslaught. This scene made Wei Mingqu Huai resound the big avalanche he saw in Helan Valley when he was a teenager.

The Tiger Camp also suffered losses, but this loss was not worth mentioning compared to their results.

A cavalry cavalry rushed over with the strength of ten thousand jun, easily tearing through the fragile defense line of the Western Xia heavy armor soldiers. Weighing plus equipment, more than two hundred pounds of heavy infantry, at this moment, it was like a ripe watermelon, all of them were hit with blood spraying wildly, and flew straight out!

This thousand armored cavalry, in a dense array several times larger than their own, was like entering a no-man's land, and the Western Xia armored soldiers were either knocked into the air or trampled, and did not form an effective counterattack force at all. The sound of wailing filled the ears of the officers and men of the two armies......
