The sanitation iron cavalry of the Dangxiang army repelled the harassment and interception of the Song cavalry in a short time. led the iron harrier behind him, and went straight to the high Yongneng general flag. After all, the Song army was also hurriedly blocked to this position, and the formation was still a little scattered, not as neat as it was when they went out of the city to invite war the first few times. Moreover, in order to catch up with the Song army chariots and horses that had sneaked away from Luo Wu, they also had to crush the Song army arrayed in the narrowest part of the river valley.

The tremor of the earth made the beloved horse under his crotch nervously turn his ears, but in the face of the overwhelming party cavalry, Gao Yongneng was still calm as usual. Although he is the coach of Luo Wu, Zhang Yu's status is much higher than him. If you want to go out of the city to fight, Gao Yongneng will lead the army out, and Zhang Yu will sit in the city.

The battle flag on a red background and black borders danced violently in the fierce wind of the valley, and the tail of the flag brushed Gao Yongneng's cheeks from time to time, but it did not allow his concentration to concentrate on giving orders even the slightest fluctuation.

There are tens of thousands of elites under his command, and these days, Gao Yongneng will lead his troops out of the city every day to invite battles. But the party members never had the idea of a decisive battle, which made him feel depressed. However, today can finally be a showdown, which makes Gao Yongneng calm with a hint of expectation.

Array, how will the party be an opponent. There is a lot of confidence in Gao Yongneng's heart.

The sound of war drums sounded under the banner of Gao Yongneng's general, and the formation that was still a little chaotic was also being adjusted rapidly. The crossbowmen in front of the formation had already completed the formation of the queue, and each of them opened the bow of the divine arm that he carried with him. Raise the crossbow flat, put the short arrow of several inches into the arrow groove, and the sharp three-edged arrow was aimed at the galloping enemy horseman.

When the leading sanitation iron cavalry finally rushed to a hundred paces away, under the orders of the officers at all levels, a string sound sounded in the forward array, and the sharp arrows that burst out of the divine arm bow shot towards the incoming enemy.

The dozen or so cavalrymen at the front suddenly turned on their backs, and their bodies were shot like hedgehogs. And the cavalry that followed behind also received a few arrows more or less.

The Divine Arm Bow is so powerful that it is the best among the heavy crossbows today. When shooting in front of the emperor, in front of the Son of Heaven, he can pierce iron armor seventy steps away. Although the distance of a hundred paces is much farther than that of seventy paces, the drape on the cavalry and war horses is not as strong as the iron armor.

The five- or six-inch short arrow pierced deep into the flesh, and if it wasn't a hit, there would be a lot of people who could grit their teeth to support it. But the horses couldn't do it, and they jumped around in a miserable neigh, turning the riders on their backs and disrupting the charging procession.

However, the sanitation iron riders who followed closely behind did not have the slightest intention of stopping, they showed their perfect equestrian skills as the guards of the Son of Heaven, lightly lifted the reins of their horses, easily bypassed the chaotic front formation, and continued to accelerate forward, wanting to rush into the array of the Song army before the next round of launches.

But they were greeted by another rain of arrows that burst like startled locusts.

"Gao Yong can be so desperate, it seems that there must be important people in the team of cars and horses that leave."

On a high ground outside Luowu City, Liang Yizhu looked at his own cavalry swept by the Song army's arrow array at the battle line from a distance, and his expression was unmoved. He doesn't really care about the loss of troops now, as long as he can inflict greater casualties on the Song people, this exchange is still worth it.

- because he has more troops in his hands than the Song people.

The battlefield in the river valley was too small, and the party members who were not good at attacking the city made the tens of thousands of soldiers buried in Liang Yi's hands only look at the towering Luowu city from afar, and divided the troops to attack, just to send snacks to the Song people.

And the day before yesterday, he sent a partial division to copy the trail, although the process of capturing Funing Fort went smoothly, the grain in the fort was also burned completely. It was because of the lack of food and grass that they had to retreat after fighting the Song army - no one would have thought in advance that the villages along the way to the south had been looted by the Song people first. I thought it was levied on the spot, but I couldn't find much rations. Liang Yi buried it from the mouth of his subordinates, and heard about the villages that had been burned down one by one, and the ruthlessness of the planting was so ruthless that he, the minister of Western Xia, was surprised.

By now, the grain and grass in Liang Yi's hands was no longer enough to support the whole army for five days, and the ruthlessness of the cultivator made him have to raid the Tibetan tribe located at the northern foot of Hengshan Mountain - due to the geographical location, the net worth and grain storage of the Tibetan tribe in Shanbei are far smaller than that of Shannan - if it weren't for the hope of the Khitan interference, these wealthy patriarchs under his command would have made a fuss.

And the Song people sent a large group of carriages and horses to leave the city quietly this time, although I don't know what the reason is, but Liang Yi's intuition still made him smell the smell that was beneficial to him.

"Didn't you send troops to bypass the pursuit, and the casualties of rushing into the arrow array are too great!"

A patriarch of the party who followed Liang Yi's leadership proposed so. Among the thousands of cavalry that attacked the Song army's array in front, there was his clan army, and he was so distressed that he almost screamed when he saw his own soldiers falling off their horses in groups like cut wheat.

"The Song people walked on horseback!" Liang Yizhu snorted very unhappily.

Although the speed of the carriage will be a little slower than that of a simple horse. But from the small road out of the Wuding River valley, and then detour south to intercept the front road. In terms of time, it is simply impossible. On the contrary, it will attract the attention of the soldiers in the city of fine floats, and if you are not careful, you will be blocked to retreat. Then he was bitten by Suide's seed

Moreover, the Western Xia State Minister no longer insisted on catching up with the chariots and horses, although the iron harriers and sanitation iron horsemen who sent Lu to pursue were blocked by the array of the Song people and could not advance. But from another point of view, the Song army outside the city has been divided by his thousands of elites, and it has been unable to retreat into the city smoothly.

"All Roman tails!" Liang Yibury suddenly shouted and lost the name of the capital of Luowu City.

The official position of the Du Shu Privy is not as powerful as the privy envoy of the Song Dynasty in the Western Xia Kingdom, which is dominated by the Dangxiang Hao family, but Du Luo Wei was originally a close confidant of the Liang brothers and sisters, and the Du Luo family is also a Dang Xiang Hao family, so his status in the Western Xia State was not low before.

However, after the fall of Luowu, in order to recover the lost city, Du Luowei fought a series of battles, not only burying a large number of Yinzhou defenders, and many Ding Zhuang in the Xia Fan Department, but also losing a lot of the troops of his own clan around him. After Liang Yibury led the army, he was left aside, and no one paid attention to him. Now that he finally heard the summons, he immediately stepped forward to obey the order.

"You go and attack Luo Wu City, attack a little harder, so that Gao Yong can rest assured, I hope you can atone for your sins."

Liang Yibury didn't have anything to say to him, so he casually picked up a few generals and asked them to follow Du Luowei. The tone of the order issued by the Western Xia State Minister was cold and hard, and his slightly narrowed eyes also stared dangerously at Du Luowei and a few generals who were raised, not allowing them to refuse.

The sudden sound of a horn in the north attracted Han Gang's attention at the head of the city. Turning his gaze away from the fierce battle in the south, he saw a group of party cavalry beginning to pounce on Luo Wu City, rolling up a wave of dust. And after the cavalry, there was also a group of troops that were covered in the dust, tens of thousands, looking at their direction, they were also coming towards Luo Wu City.

"It's coming!" Han Gang suppressed his excitement and let out a low cry, which made the kind of Pu around him laugh proudly, which caused a group of generals to laugh.

This situation is exactly what they want to see.

The party had many soldiers, but the small battlefield limited the number of troops they could put into it. Now that the Song people have deliberately divided the battlefield in two, Liang Yibury will of course take advantage of the situation to invest more troops - but it is also in line with Han Gang's wishes.

The enemy's horsemen, which numbered as many as a thousand horses, galloped to the city, and after shooting a rain of arrows at the city's head, they then galloped away again. In the process, from the banner of the city, there are only scattered arrows to counterattack.

The weak reaction of the Song army defending the city was diametrically opposed to the many banners on the city's head, and it fell on the eyes of Du Rome, which shocked his spirit.

During this period of time, he had fought many battles with the Song army, and Zhilu Dao had more than 20,000 troops in the hands of Chong Mo at the beginning, but later Chong Mo led the army to leave Luo Wu. How much he walked, he didn't know how to go, so he could only guess. But now it seems that the cultivators have taken most of the troops, and the defenders in the city will not exceed two thousand at present, plus the six thousand men who went into battle, when there are only eight or nine thousand.

The more than 10,000 soldiers he brought out were mainly infanciers, carrying ladders and pushing the bridge carts across the Hao River. If there were only about 2,000 defenders in the city, Du Luowei was confident that he could break through such an empty city, not just disturb Gao Yongneng's military spirit.

As the Western Xia infantry approached, Zhang Yu began to give orders, and on the head of Luo Wucheng, the equipment for defending the city was laid out one by one.

There are all kinds of wood, rolling stones, oil pots, and wolf's tooth beats, and six giant three-bow bed crossbows are also placed on the front of the city. Three giant bow arms six or seven feet long are side by side, the front two bow arms are full, and the last one is reversed, and the bow arms of the recurve bow style are placed opposite each other, looking like a gourd.

This is a heavy weapon commonly known as the Eight Bull Crossbow, and it is also the most powerful weapon in Luowu City. During the siege of the city, the spear-like special arrows can be shot deep into the city wall, as a foothold for soldiers to climb the city. And when defending the city, it can shoot through the enemy's array with one blow, like a string of sugar gourds, and it will take seven or eight people in a row to run out of strength.

Its bow is so powerful that it is said that it takes eight oxen to string it. Although this is an exaggeration, it is true that it takes twenty or thirty strong men to turn the winch together to put the crossbow string the thickness of a thumb twisted from a mixture of horsetail, silk thread and fine linen to the toothhair. When firing, it is not like a single crossbow such as a waist crossbow, a skullbow and a god arm bow to pull the trigger with a finger, but you have to use a wooden hammer to knock down the tooth hair that holds the crossbow string.
