Zhao Xing narrowed his eyes: "This is probably the last resistance force of Western Xia, extinguishing this GU power, even if the king of Western Xia returns to Xingqing Mansion, he is just a fish in the dry pond, let's start." ”

Strictly speaking, the Tiemen Pass is not a cape in the true sense of the word, and it is different from the Chengguan in the Central Plains. The nomadic people lack architectural art and lack of corresponding building materials, and most of the cape they built are based on the old site of the cape built by the Central Plains ethnic groups in the Han and Tang dynasties, and carry out simple renovation, and then use it as their own military fortress Tiemen Pass.

On the original site of the Iron Gate Pass, I don't know which dynasty had left a section of the earthen fortress, I want to be the first nomad to break the pass, once demolished this earthen barrier, in order to facilitate their own entry and exit at any time, and then, only good at destroying the nomads are too lazy to repair, so the whole wall is only left with a section of large and small mounds.

This mound lies in the narrowest part of the mountain, where two mountain walls stand, the mountain is not high, more than ten meters up and down; The narrowest part of the mountain is not long, up and down 560 meters. Behind the remnants of the mound was a dilapidated mud house, and in front of the earthen house was a well, which was all there was to the iron gate.

The Iron Gate Pass got its name because of the narrowest part of this section. Before and after this narrowest point, the mountain spreads out like a V-shape, becoming more and more open.

When the Western Xia soldiers entered the Tiemen Pass Gorge, the leading general suddenly stopped, stretched out his nose and sniffed around, waved his hand to stop the team, and ordered loudly: "Go back and report to the Jianing Military Division of the rear team, just say that the air is filled with the smell of stone grease (oil), the Song army is nearby, and they want to set it on fire." ”

After a while, the senior officials of Western Xia hurriedly rushed to the mouth of the gorge, and came not only the officials of the Jianing Military Division, but also the surviving senior officials in the southern part of Western Xia, several officials looked at the mouth of the Tiemen Pass Gorge, shook their heads and smiled together: "Such a short mountain gorge, even if the Song army wants to ambush us, how many of them can ambush us?" Ten thousand? Twenty thousand? Even if this gorge is filled with people, how many people can it fill in at most? I am afraid that 3,000 people will not be able to squeeze in, but we have 50,000 men with swords, guns, bows and arrows. ”

As soon as he said this, another Western Xia official couldn't help it, he waved his arm and made an impassioned gesture: "The lord of the country is waiting for us on the other side of the mountain, Daxia is waiting for us on the other side of the mountain, Xingqing Mansion is waiting for us on the other side of the mountain, a small mountain beam, if we attack with all our strength, we will lose at most a thousand people, why do you hesitate?" Every time we delay here, there is a life on the other side of the mountain, how much blood can be shed in my Great Xia, the Song army is delayed, we can't afford to delay, everyone, don't hesitate. ”

As soon as these words were spoken, the radicals in the Xia army spoke one after another, demanding that the main general immediately order the charge. The commander of the Xia army did not hesitate for long, and immediately ordered: "Take all the iron armor cH0U out, select the warriors, charge in armor, and tell the warriors that the life and death of Great Xia will be fought here, and the warriors who died today will be remembered by the people of Great Xia for thousands of generations." ”

On the other side of the mountain gorge, Zhao Xing squinted his eyes and looked at a few beating light spots on the mountain beam of the Iron Gate Pass, which was the Song Army soldiers on the top of the mountain who were using a mirror to transmit the news, Zhao Xing interpreted for a while, and sighed: "Haven't I been particularly unlucky recently, I have fought a blocking battle in front of me, although I have won or lost, I wanted to have a perfect blocking at the Iron Gate Pass to save my bad reputation, but unfortunately I designed it perfectly, but the actors were unwilling to perform according to my script, fortunately, I prepared another set of scripts......"

Wen Xixing next to him has been worried that he can't find the opportunity to recruit Ma P, and finally let him wait for the opportunity, he has been lightning fast to steal the bell, and said indignantly: "Taiwei has been unlucky recently, so he easily destroyed the Great Xia that has been with me for a hundred years, if this luck is good, the people of the world will not live." On the fifteenth, I want to have such 'bad' luck. ”

Wen Xixing only cared about patting the horse, completely ignoring the movements of the officer next to him, as if the big battle that was about to start only required Zhao Xingfei to sneeze the power. The officer next to him had already ordered the whole team when Zhao Xing waved his hand just now, and countless Song soldiers came out of the trench G0u, and the whole team moved forward. Lu Qiu Guan in Wen Xixing "1/6\K Mobile Phone Access /a/p.1/6/k/x//o/m"

In the interval between speaking, he hurriedly asked the smug Zhao Xing: "Captain, our army is not hidden?" ”

Zhao Xing replied in a tone in which everything was under control: "I have tried the most cruel means in a row, originally wanting to make Western Xia cautious, adopt the tactics of adding oil, and throw troops into this section of the gorge one by one, and fight a war of attrition with me. I was very well prepared, but the Tangut people, respectable, even at the most critical juncture, they did not lack the courage to fight Si. Well, I respect the brave, and I will let them get a glorious Si. It's a pity that they forgot that the Western Xia can't afford to gamble with me anymore, my army is exhausted, the Great Song Dynasty still has a million troops, hundreds of millions of people, and the Western Xia only has this little person left. ”

The beginning of the battle was very boring, hundreds of Tanguts put on the last iron armor in the country, and rushed to the opposite Song army without hesitation, at the same time, many Tanguts went around in the distance and began to climb the mountain beam at the mouth of the gorge, and the battle at the top of the mountain beam ended with the retreat of the Song army, and the retreating Song army pushed the oil drums piled up on the mountain beam down the hillside. Just now, it was the smell of these oil drums that made Xia Jun alert.

This was not over, and the Song army, who finally evacuated the mountain beam, threw down a few torches, which ignited the oil drums rolling down the mouth of the mountain gorge. The Tangut people knew the quality of this oil, and they did not try in vain to extinguish the oil fire in the arid Gobi Desert, so they evacuated the mouth of the gorge, but in this way, the Tangut ironclad warriors who had already launched a charge in front of them were isolated in front of the flames, lying in front of the guns of the Song army.

The era has entered the era of gunpowder and arsenic, and the firearms army of the gunpowder era met the cold weapons team, with four short words to evaluate the battle: line up and shoot.

The main force of the Xia army, which was isolated at the other end, endured the smoking of the heat wave, and anxiously listened to the fierce gunfire coming from the other end of the gorge. The gunfire of the Song army was very neat, but it was continuous, and it was very neat.

Xia Jun really shouldn't have confronted Zhao Xing's firearms army head-on at the Iron Gate Pass. They were mistaken about the times, they thought that in the age of gunpowder, victory or failure in war could be easily obtained by relying on the courage of soldiers and the personal efforts of generals, but unfortunately, the explosive power of gunpowder could not be resisted by individual efforts.

The mouth of the Tiemen Pass is very narrow, and in such a narrow place, the soldiers have to charge in a row, and a horizontal row can be up to ten people. If a soldier is carrying a knife, leave a distance of one meter from the adjacent soldier, which is a swing distance. If the soldier is carrying a gun, this distance should be shorter, because the gun is used to stab, and the distance between the left and right is half a meter. But if it's a heavy weapon such as wolf tooth bAng......"

In the past, they thought that it was very rewarding to use this weapon to hit the Han people's brains, but now they met a musket team of fifty people in a horizontal row, and the Great Song Nanyang musket team who was good at five-stage and nine-stage shots shot the last warrior of Western Xia with only one commanded force to block the mouth of the gorge.

The rest of the Song soldiers were very leisurely, they were scattered on both flanks of the gorge, leisurely aiming for half a day, sniping at the brave men who occasionally came over the mountains with a hunting mentality...... When the gunfire stopped, the Song military Pa0 soldiers pleaded with a crying voice depressedly: "Brothers, raise your noble hand, let two people come over, let our Pa0 soldiers also open meat, this war to destroy the country will be over in the blink of an eye, such military feats in the future will not be a once-in-a-century occurrence, brothers, you eat R, leave us some soup." ”

The Pa0 soldiers pleaded there, but the infantry was still not satisfied, they pouted, and cried at the prepared dragoons: "The Xia army is too unpleasant, full of battles, there are only 3,000 people who rushed out of the wall of fire, and there are still 50,000 on the other side of the mountain, all let the cavalry brothers swallow it." If we still have a quick R, the cavalry brothers got it, it's a lobster. ”

The main weapons of the dragoons were sabers and muskets, and it was inconvenient to reload the muskets immediately, so each dragoon had six or seven spears hung on them, and they were the proudest nobles in the Song army, and the cost of feeding one dragoon was enough to feed ten times the number of infantry and three times the number of Pa0 soldiers.

However, the dragoon's maneuver X is not something that the latter two can imitate. With an order, the dragoons ran, they were not many, just two commanders, about a thousand people, with the officer's order, these two pairs of dragoons ran unhurriedly to both sides of the iron gate, at this time, the Song army infantry who had nothing to do enviously watched the dragoons slowly put down their guns, let the war horses under the crotch slowly climb the gentle slope in the distance, and watched their figures disappear under the mountain beam.

After a short pause, the military order came: "Send both of them up to consolidate the position of Shanliang, this fire cannot be extinguished today, and the whole army should prepare for camping."

On the other side of the mountain, the Xixia people watched desperately as the dragoons appeared on the top of the mountain, watched them gallop down the mountain with aristocratic arrogance, and watched them use the mentality of the Western Xia nobles who used to "fight the grass valley" in the Song Kingdom, unhurriedly picked up their guns, and the brave Xia army who rushed to B to shoot their guns one by one, and then indifferently trampled the other party's corpse T, or it was not a corpse T, just a comatose wounded......

"Let them come, let them come, this little bit of soldiers and horses, dare to play cavalry with our Great Xia Xiongshi, let them come to the flat land, let us teach them how to play cavalry, cavalry has never been something that the Han family plays." A Western Xia officer roared angrily.

Western Xia never knew that the Han family would be able to afford faster rockets and airplanes in the future, and at that time, the party had already been genocidal.

The Tangut people thought that the dragoons were a group of nobles, so they planned to let them go down the mountain, and the two sides had a cavalry battle in a flat land and a dignified manner. Who knew that the gang of "nobles" went down to the flat land and became hooligans, they never fought head-on with the Xia army, they lived like a group of thieves, thieves, and heinous scoundrels, seeing that they were lined up in formation, when the Xia army happily brandished their sabers to launch a cavalry cluster attack, they shamelessly turned around and withdrew.

You run, then we chase. The soldiers of the Xia Army can't chase it, they can't open the passage if they don't chase, they can't return to their hometown, and they can't save the lord of the country, so they can only chase. Fortunately, although the Song army on the opposite side fled without shame, the first row of the Song army was still there, well, I heard that the Song army always likes to put the bravest soldiers in the first row, and sure enough. Warriors on the other side, you have gained our respect, and we are here too.

The five thousand cavalry of the Xia army rushed towards the bravest Song soldiers of the fifty meters, these people were really brave, fifty people faced the cluster impact of five thousand people, they could still calmly raise their guns, and there was time to aim, and then pulled the trigger.

At the moment when white smoke came out of the muzzles of the Song soldiers, the soldiers charging at the head of the Xia army subconsciously closed their eyes and said in their hearts: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, the Han family has always been weak, and now they can also find fifty warriors, let's let the Han family see that there are more than five warriors in Western Xia......"

When these Western Xia soldiers opened their eyes, they were depressed and wanted to cry: "People? Don't run, Warriors, wait, we're not there yet...... Sure enough, the Han family was full of cowards, and I thought that the Song army could still find fifty warriors, but it turned out that we were fooled, and they didn't have a single warrior.

The Western Xia soldiers who were muttering all the way didn't run far, and encountered a row of Song troops, and the overjoyed Xia soldiers lifted up the JiNg spirit, and once again let out an earth-shaking cry, and rushed bravely towards this group of warriors, and the result was ...... As a result, they were still cowards and ran away after putting their guns out.

The Xia soldiers were tortured by the dragoons with mixed joys and sorrows, one time it was heaven, the other it was hell, and the result was ...... It turns out that they are still in hell in the end, and they always have been.

In the repeated joys and sorrows, the Xia soldiers did not notice that the soldiers they charged gradually decreased, and when they chased out of twenty miles, the Xia soldiers found that the real hell had appeared, at this time their horsepower was exhausted, and the speed slowed down, and the Song army due to the resistance one by one, the war horses had time to recover T strength, at this time, the attack and defense were transposed.

I saw rows of dragoons with a dressage posture, urging the horses to rush close to the Xia army brigade, and firing the bows left and right at the dense crowd to release the guns, and waiting for the Xia soldiers to muster up the courage to launch a counter-charge, those soldiers who put their guns always secretly m0m0 pulled their horses to the side, very obscene loading, looking like a scoundrel who stole J.

The Xia soldiers tried to find this group of scoundrels desperately, but they were met by another group of men, and then ...... And then there was no then.

This is the cavalry tactics of the new era, the Western Xia people don't understand, the destructive power of the musket and the S Cheng far exceed the bow and arrow, basically, in the whole battle, the Xia army could not hurt the Song army, but had to endure the unilateral slaughter carried out by the Song army, like a knife bloodletting, shedding the last drop of blood.

By the time the dragoons gradually wore down the opponent's strength with their muskets, there was no suspense in this battle. When the reinforcements of the Xia army arrived, the dragoons who were cleaning the battlefield roared, led the captured war horses, and turned to leave. Greeting the Xia reinforcements was another commander, a 500-year-old Dragoon.

"That's it? Five thousand of us were eaten by five hundred of us in the blink of an eye? How can it be? Xia Jun was full of consternation.

They don't know that for musketeers, an average of 30% hits is average. Five hundred musketeers against five thousand cold-armed soldiers, each with thirty shots, can kill five thousand people in terms of calculation. Dragoons, on the other hand, have always been known for their harsh training and high costs, and their marksmanship cannot be measured by average.

However, the Western Xia generals did not need to know about these. Thousands of the bravest Western Xia soldiers put on iron armor and launched a decisive attack, their corpses lying outside the iron gate; The second-class brave Western Xia soldiers were chosen to meet the dragoons head-on, and the rest of them ......
