Although the Western Xia cavalry was still patrolling around, they no longer dared to launch an attack casually, but the black pressure of the Western Xia infantry had already pressed in front of them. Liu Shunqing ordered the artillery to be replaced with shotguns, and the infantry moved closer to the center.

Soon, the teams, which had been divided into several phalanxes, merged into one, and the musketeers lined up to shoot between the guns, reloading backwards, and then advancing to shoot...... The musketeer was shot with a bow and arrow, and immediately someone took his arquebus and continued to shoot, the gunner was knocked down by the bow and arrow, and immediately a reserve gunner went up.

Hit by a bullet, the Tangut people's thick armor spared him, coupled with the continuous bombardment of more than a dozen artillery pieces with shotguns, covered with rainstormy crossbow arrows, the Tanguts only held out under the dense fire for more than ten minutes before turning around and running back.

At this time, the most terrible attack of the Gang Pang began. On the left flank of the Song army's large array, the black-pressed Western Xia cavalry rushed straight towards them in a wide attack surface. Their formation was a little strange, so that the battle-hardened and telescope-equipped generals in the Song army all picked up the binoculars and looked over, and soon everyone's faces changed. Because the cavalry of the Tangut people was behind this black oppressive herd, and in front of them were all bulls with sharp knives tied to their horns and covered with felt blankets.

Fire Bull Formation!

Anyone who sees all this is terrified. Once something like a cow goes crazy, nothing can stop it! And don't look at the crossbow and musket to hit people is huge, but it is not so easy to kill a cow. The only weapons that can kill these bulls remotely are ballistas and trebuchets, but the firing speed of these equipment is too slow, not to mention, most of them are still deployed in front at this time, there is no time to move, and the range of the firearm is too close, and it can only be fired once. There were one or two thousand cows in the herd, and if they rushed in, the battle would not be fought.

Li Buqi hurriedly said: "Transfer the strong crossbow and fire gun to this side." Immediately cloth the triangular nails. ”

A gray-bearded soldier beside the cultivator of Zhiqingjian City suddenly stepped forward and said loudly: "Official, strong crossbows and firecrackers can't stop these mad cows!" It must be blown up with gunpowder to scatter the herd! ”

Li Buqi knew that what he said had a point, but he couldn't let the gunpowder explode near his team, so how could he transport the gunpowder to the vicinity of the cattle now?

When the veteran saw that none of the generals spoke, he immediately said, "I would like to drive the cart loaded with gunpowder to fry the cattle, and I only ask the officials to take care of my boy in the future!" ”

Li didn't give up or talk nonsense: "This official has promised, and he will never treat your family badly!" ”

The old soldier turned back and shouted, "This mad bull is rushing over, and I don't know how many good sons will die!" Those who have the courage to fight with me to block them and exchange wealth for their wives and children! ”

Before the shouting fell, a few men immediately stood up: "I'll go!" "I'll go!"

The so-called mercy is not in charge of the army, righteousness is not in charge of money, at such a critical time, Li does not give up or hypocritically, and said loudly: "You sacrificed your life for the country, and I will treat you and other family members preferentially." If there is a lie, let me have ten thousand arrows! ”

The white-bearded veteran clenched his fists on his horse: "Thank you, the official!" Then he turned the dock and shouted, "Come with me!" ”

Several people rushed to the baggage camp like the wind, and at this time the Western Xia cavalry had already fired rockets onto the felt blankets on the back of the oxen, and those felt blankets began to catch fire, and the cattle had completely launched a madness, like a flood that burst the embankment, and the crossbowmen desperately threw crossbow arrows to stop them. Li Buqi's palms were full of sweat, and he kept looking in the direction of the baggage camp.

At this moment, it felt like a long time, but in fact, in just two or three minutes, everyone saw three carriages rushing out of the big formation like crazy through the gap left in the middle of the phalanx. The white-bearded old soldier rode on the wheel of the first carriage and sang loudly: "The husband has all the strength, and the one intends to be a thousand." Rushing out of his heart, seeing death is like sleeping. Bend the bow and never leave the hand, and the eternal day is ...... in front of the battle"

The three wagons burst out of the great formation, and scattered in three directions, rushing towards the galloping herd. Li Buqi's eyes stared nervously at the three carriages, and he saw that when he was about to touch the cattle forward, the carriage of the first car rolled down a person, and then the carriage crashed into the herd. Almost at the same time, an earth-shattering roar erupted in the herd, and the explosion actually blew the cow into the air and smashed it into the back.

The second and third explosions were almost in no particular order. The huge sound made Song Jun's horses mourn, and the big black horse under Li Buqi's crotch, which had specially adapted to the sound of gunpowder explosions, all neighed frantically. Not only the horses, but also the people couldn't stand it, because the explosion was only about 100 meters away from the front line of the Song army, and many Song officers and soldiers were shocked to the point that their faces turned pale and their ears were deaf.

Without the smoke of gunpowder dissipating, Li Buqi could see that the cattle that were originally rushing towards the Song army were completely blown up by the loud noise, and they ran in any direction, and many of them rushed into the formation of the Western Xia cavalry, and stabbed the sharp knives tied to the horns of the Western Xia people's war horses.

The horses of the Song army had been trained to adapt to the sound of explosions, but the cavalry transferred from the north did not expect their horses to encounter such a situation, and the horses were frightened by the powerful explosions, and they all jumped on the spot or ran wildly in ignorance.

Chong Mo saw the opportunity and immediately suggested: "Li Jingluo, I will lead the cavalry to attack!" ”

Li Buqi just nodded, and the planting order was raised with flags and drums, and then led three thousand cavalry to rush out. The thousands of Xixia cavalry had already given Niu Chong a scatter, and if they were slashed and killed by the seed man, not even half of them ran back.

Instead, he sent two chieftains to lead reinforcements. But these chieftains from the north were frightened by the three thunderbolts just now, so they hesitated to act, and retreated without much contact with the Song army.

The Western Xia cavalry attacking the right flank of the Song army's large array saw that the Song army's formation was always tight, and they had no chance to take advantage of it, so they could only harass the Song army with bows and arrows from afar. After the Song army's strong crossbow transferred the output, he hurriedly ran away. The Western Xia infantry that was attacking Liu Shunqing was also beaten back again by heavy artillery fire, and the Western Xia cavalry attacking Liu Shunqing's rear was also routed because of the heavy casualties caused by the rain of arrows between Liu Shunqing's brigade and the Song army's large array. He sent other generals and chieftains to lead his troops to attack, and these generals and chieftains all had difficult faces.

He knew that the three thunderbolts not only broke his fire bull array, but also dealt a heavy blow to the morale of the Western Xia, so he had to analyze the situation in front of him to the generals and chiefs: "The Song people are very capable of fighting, but they have few people, and their crossbowmen have fired a lot of arrows, and they are already very tired. Soon they will be too tired to open their bows, and this is the best time to attack, if they don't work harder, they will lose all their efforts! Suizhou can't be lost! Everyone, cowering, chop! ”

As he spoke, he drew his saber and slammed it into the ground.

He's going to kill someone! The generals did not dare to disobey the order, so they had to continue to attack the Song army according to the order of the Song army. However, both the generals and the soldiers of the Western Xia army had begun to hesitate, and the attack was not as fierce as at the beginning, and the battle was mainly fought by both sides. As a result, he was very disappointed, and fought until dark, and the Song army still adopted an offensive posture, although slowly but firmly pressed towards the position of the Western Xia army. The Western Xia army, which was blocking the Song army, was repeatedly repulsed under the heavy artillery fire and the blows of muskets and guns. The Song army did not show the phenomenon of exhaustion, their artillery and muskets were roaring all the time, which gave the Western Xia generals a headache when they heard the sound of artillery firing, and the Western Xia defense line gradually retreated under the pressure of the Song army.

It was only after dark that the two armies stopped fighting and retreated. The next day, neither side attacked, and it became a standoff.

Two days later, the Song army only launched a tentative attack every day, and Yan Pang no longer expected to defeat the Song army head-on, but resorted to the usual trick of cutting off food and sent cavalry to cut off the Song army's grain route. According to Pang's expectations, it would take a few days for the Song army to transport grain, and that was when his superior cavalry would come into play.

However, the left did not see the Song army transporting grain, and the right waited for the Song army to transport grain. After the tentative attack, it was found that the Song army did not look short of food at all, and the Song army did not kill horses and eat meat. This made the Tangut people puzzled.

Later, the Tangut people finally asked from the mouths of the captured Song army, and it turned out that many of the vehicles carried by the Song army were loaded with either ordnance or military rations. There are two types of rations, one is salted meat, and the other is dried bread in closed wooden barrels. The advantage of these two things is that they are not easy to break, and the second is that as long as there is water, people can live. After Song Jun finished eating, the cattle and sheep brought by Song Jun ate this thing, and there was no danger of running out of food within a few days.

Li Buqi made up his mind to fight with the Tangut people, how could he let himself lack food? This time he was embarrassed, and in order to eat Li Buqi, he had already placed several places in an emergency and ignored it.

The Song armies of Huanqing and Qinfenglu were both attacking the Western Xia strongholds, and the army led by Zhe Kerou of Fuzhou defeated the troops of the Shenyong Army Division of the Left Chamber, which was defending the Liao State, under the cover of the Liao tribal cavalry. He had to guard against a knife from the back, and the cavalry lacked horsegrass. So he retreated to the city of Suizhou and waited for the Song army to come.

But soon, Li Buqi also retreated, all the way to Qingjian City, and soon retreated to Yanzhou for repair. This made Pang feel that the Song army actually suffered a lot of losses, so he felt a little at ease. He brought the army out for so long, causing the Western Xia army to be empty, and the Song army pulled out several walled forts in a row, and he couldn't help but send troops to rescue these places.

On April 15, Pang Pang led his army to leave Suizhou, divided his troops to compete with the Song army, and the Battle of Suide came to an end. Facts have proved that Li Buqi thought too simply, Li Buqi not only wanted Suide, but also people, so he took the initiative to retreat in order to paralyze the Western Xia people.
