"Knock knock, knock knock......"

The sound of war drums and the muffled sound of trumpets resounded in the sky, and on a winding river valley road, the Liangshan infantry cavalry swept in like a tidal wave. From Yongle City to Yinzhou City, the road became wider and wider, and soon the south road of the latter converged into a red like a burning cloud.

One by one, the flags were waved in the wind, and the Liangshan army was lined up outside the Xixia military camp. And in the very center, the three-zhang high handsome flag hunts in the wind, and the big land characters are as dazzling as eye-catching. The left and right of the Lu character handsome flag, the flying dragon and the flying tiger flag, the flying bear and the flying leopard flag, the green dragon and the white tiger flag, the Vermilion Bird Xuanwu flag, the yellow Yue and the white Xuan, the green flag soap cover, the scarlet black silk, and the military flags fluttering in the wind.

Among them, he held out a hand, wearing a golden helmet with double phoenix wings and a golden bright light armor; covered with a red inlaid dragon robe, with a golden and jade belt of a flash dragon around his waist; Sits on a white jade neighing horse, and plucks a big knife in his hand. He was only about thirty years old, and he was born majestic and dignified. It's not Lu Qian!

In the past few years, he has been fighting and fighting, but he is not old at all. On the contrary, it is Lin Chong, Hua Rong, and Xu Ning in the surrounding area, these handsome guys, who are aging very fast. Now he is surrounded by countless generals, dressed in gold, blind, shining with an unstoppable light, but he is also majestic and indispensable.

Dressed in gorgeous golden bright light armor, wearing a big purple bear and tiger cloak on his back, he sat on a famous horse that was pure white as snow without a single miscellaneous hair, and his dress was absolutely dazzling, as if he wanted to tell everyone on the mountain that Lao Tzu was the commander of the Liangshan Army, and those who had the ability to come and take my head!

But this is the tradition of the warriors. Everyone who goes to the battlefield must have the determination to die and the consciousness of having their heads cut off, so before they die, wearing the most decent armor can be regarded as a perfect end to their battlefield career.

As for the generals who don't wear even bright armor, they can only be young generals who charge into battle. Among the hosts, if there is no real learning, the decent armor and superior mounts are often the source of trouble.

However, what is Lu Qian's identity? Where do you still need him to charge in person? His martial arts are the best in the world, but there is no place for heroes, and now who knows?

Naturally, he was dressed in a golden tyrant costume that flashed people's eyes.

Boom! Boom!

The rhythm of the war drums sounded in the Liangshan army formation, and they began to attack.

A group of armor soldiers, with sword players in the front and spears and swords in the back, lined up in a dense queue, stepping on the drum and rushing down to the camp of the Western Xia soldiers. At the back were rows of archers, and the armor in front was their best cover. The only task of these men was to throw a steady stream of arrows into the camp once they had reached range.

Lu Qian did not lead the army to hold on to the thousands of remnants of the army, and went to fight the reinforcements that Brother Richard might send along the mountain road. Instead, the army galloped in the starry night and went straight to Yinzhou.

How many Western Xia troops can there be here?

Under the Yongle City, not to mention the earlier Ma army, in the last battle, he captured 20,000 people just by capturing him. A Yongle City can't be settled, and it's all locked up in the back road. Coupled with the Ma army that was wiped out by Lu Qian earlier, and the people who died in the battle, then Li Heda's department must have forty or fifty thousand people.

The Western Xia army said that it was 300,000 horses, but according to the news from the flying pigeon earlier, the Western Xia soldiers outside Yinzhou City are now 10,000 people and horses, and there are probably no 100,000 people. To do this, you only need to check the felt tents of the Tangut people.

Dangxiang is a descendant of the Qiang people, and the main body is mainly nomalist, and its dwelling house is simple in structure due to frequent relocation, and is easy to disassemble, carry and assemble. Generally, it is made of wood to build a frame, and then the felt is covered on it, and after it is fixed, it becomes a felt tent, so a family is called a tent.

Felt, also known as felt blanket, is woven from wool or camel hair, and it is used as a tent to keep out rain and snow, and to shelter from wind and sand. Most of the settlers in the Western Xia who were engaged in agriculture were Han Chinese, and only a few were party members.

sent troops to fight, and the residence was naturally a felt tent. One account for five people, simple and straightforward. That Richard Brother Xu didn't take the defenders of Yinzhou City into account at all, and he shouldn't have played the strategy of 'increasing troops and reducing the stove'.

Therefore, the estimated strength of the army should be a real figure.

In this way, Brother Richard received a call for help from Yongle City, and if he wants to send reinforcements again, how can there be 20,000 people? With this plus and one subtraction, how many enemies can there be outside Yinzhou City?

Lu Qian didn't expect his own troops to win the battle against Brother Richard after defeating the Western Xia soldiers in Yongle City, even if the latter might only have sixty or seventy thousand people left.

However, so many days have passed, and Jinning, on the other side of the Yellow River, has long gathered a large army.

……

At the front of the Western Xia military fortress, in front of a breastwall made of earth and stone, hundreds of crossbowmen entered a state of war. Just wait for the Liangshan Army armor soldiers to approach, and wait for the bed crossbow to shoot through the turtle shell outside the Liangshan Army. They will randomly launch the most violent bursts.

Yes, bed crossbows. This large army of the Western Xia army brought bed crossbows. After all, the Tangut people are the place where they can create a special force like the 'Pop Xi Army' - the Pop Xi Army, a strong force on camel back, with only 200 horsemen. The Tangut people loaded small stone throwers on the back of camels, whirlwind cannons, "longitudinal stones like fists".

It can be seen that although the national strength of the Western Xia is at the bottom of the three kingdoms of Liao, Song and Xia, it also has a certain accumulation. There is such a thing as a bed crossbow, of course.

You don't need to think about arrows, you don't need to think about your physical strength, you just need to think about pouring the most arrow rain in the shortest time.

Sou! Sou!

The power of the bed crossbow is astounding. Breaking through the sturdy shield and piercing the knife player behind the shield, the blood splash often carries the corpse of a person and continues to hit backwards. Maybe you can't break the second layer of shield. But the strong force can often shake the second column of sword players to vomit blood and break bones.

The heavy shield wall was like tissue paper in front of it, and it would break if it was stabbed.

But the sword and axe men in the front line of the Liangshan army were at least three rows, and it was possible to have more than four or five rows. Now the Liangshan army in front of the Western Xia army is still in accordance with the practice in their army, the sword and card players are in front, and the rest are spear and sword soldiers. In a few days of fighting, this habit of the Liangshan army was already in the eyes of the Western Xia army.

Immediately, the sound of the bowstring vibrating and the sound of arrows breaking through the air resounded in the Xixia military village.

The rain of arrows caused the first wave of attacking Liangshan Army to suffer a lot of losses. But at the same time, the archers of the Liangshan army, who were covering in the back, also launched a counterattack against the Western Xia army.

The coverage is not only a breastwork, but also covers up a small half of the military village.

The Western Xia soldiers had a superior defensive advantage, but the Liangshan army was outnumbered. Richard's main force is on the other side of Yinzhou City, where it is only used to intercept the defeated soldiers in the city. In Lu Qian's eyes, this is an appetizer.

When the arrows poured up from the top of Liangshan, it was no problem to break through the fortress.

Lu Qian was in the rear, looking at the battlefield and estimating the casualties of the Liangshan army. There won't be five hundred, but there should be three hundred, or even more.

It's just that after breaking through this layer of defense, the Western Xia army here is vulnerable. Since Brother Richard didn't withdraw them, now that they are finished, they can only blame Brother Richard.

He didn't believe that the Western Xia rangers on this side didn't find out that his army was pressing.

Therefore, the road was chosen by Richard.

When the fighting in the south of Yinzhou City ended, a group of Western Xia soldiers on the other side of the Wuding River received some remnants of the defeated soldiers who escaped with difficulty on rafts and sheepskin rafts, and returned to the camp north of the city. After Brother Richard received the letter, his face was completely angry.

The current situation really bothered him, what was going on?

Li Heda and Wei Mingqu Huai had 50,000 horses, and they were beaten miserably in just a few days. This is cutting off one of my own arms. Now that this team of people has come to Yinzhou City again, Brother Richard gave up 5,000 people to make a temptation, and he was really like a meat bun and a dog, and was devoured by others. Could it be that the raft with a wooden raft and a sheepskin raft passed through the Wuding River and escaped from life, and there was not one in ten?

In this battle, the Liangshan army fought cleanly, which shows that the latter still has strong combat power. And it is not that after the battle with Li Heda and Wei Mingqu Huai, they suffered heavy losses and lost their combat effectiveness.

That night, Lu Qian settled in Yinzhou City. The soldiers and civilians in the city were all cheering and welcoming them. During these days, they are under a lot of pressure.

The Han people in this city all knew in their hearts that if the Western Xia army could break through the city, they would probably all die without a place to bury.

But now that the reinforcements have arrived, and King Lu is even more profound, can this Yinzhou still be broken? It's worry-free.

Lu Qian had a good night's sleep, and when he woke up the next day, the roasted golden mutton chops had been served. This person does not have the habit of eating and not speaking, but not only does he like to read a newspaper or talk to someone during dinner.

Now his left hand is a big fold. This roasted golden and delicate lamb is mouth-watering when you look at it. It can be folded and eaten in the mouth, but it can't taste at all, and all the thoughts are on Lu Qian's inquiry.

Last night, he could blow the wind on the city wall all night, and his eyes stared at the Xixia military village without blinking.

As for Lu Qian, what he was thinking about was reinforcements. As long as the reinforcements can arrive on time, more than 100,000 party thieves will be wiped out in this war, and the northwest can be determined. Because Richard didn't do anything last night.

In the city of Jinning County.

Lin Chong and Xiao Jiasui stood side by side at the head of the city, watching the ferries outside the city go out, and the ferries were transporting soldiers back and forth. On the west bank of the Yellow River, more than 20 barracks have been set up densely, and the military tents of uniform specifications are like cotton to be harvested, which is all white at a glance.

30,000 infantry armor, 10,000 ironclad cavalry, 20,000 garrison troops, and 60,000 troops finally arrived within the specified time. There are also more than 2,000 Khitan cavalry led by Xuanzan.

Lu Qian's order has also come, as long as this last group of sergeants arrives, then they can attack.

The more than 60,000 foot cavalry here, and the 40,000 or 50,000 soldiers and horses in northern Shaanxi, together with a total of more than 100,000, less than 110,000, and this is the entire military strength that Lu Qian intends to use to deal with the Western Xia people.

He didn't have much certainty of victory in his heart earlier, after all, the Tangut people shouted out 300,000. But now, as long as the more than 60,000 cavalry troops arrive, everything will be settled.

Among the reinforcements, the news was well known. More than 60,000 soldiers are all full of morale.

At the beginning of the night, people have fallen asleep. In the silence and peace, the inside and outside of Jinning City were engulfed in darkness. The water of the Yellow River washes over the embankment, the sound of the water waves is so clear, and the waterside is silent.

The silvery moonlight sprinkled on the earth, and everywhere there was the low chirping of insects.

Yang Keshi and Yang Kesheng brothers have not fallen asleep yet, and the bright whale oil lamps are lit in the military tent, and neither of the brothers is sleepy. When they were captured by the Liangshan army, the two also thought that one day they could return to Kansai and return to the Hengshan battlefield.

But I never thought it would be so fast!

Lu Qian's development ...... is incredible.

Lu Qian sent troops with their brothers this time, and the two of them understood it very well in their hearts. However, since he has been subsumed under the command of others, it is natural to work for him so as to earn a good future for himself. Before that, it was even more desirable to be able to fight with the Western Thieves.

"It's good to kill the thief, our brother killed the thief here earlier, and he will still kill the thief in the future." Yang Keshi took the wine cup and drank it all.

"That's what my brother said. In the future, this pass will also be a province, and if it is a province, there will be a garrison. For the Western Thieves, for the Qingtang Qiang people, and for the Tubo people, there is always a place for you and my brother to use force......" Yang Kesheng was also full of ambition.
