"Our hope lies after this battle, and our warriors are waiting for us to fight with them! If I...... The rest is up to you! ”

Brother Richard gently stroked the Imperial Sword in his hand.

"Li Liangfu, you take it and use him to cut off the head of the commander of the Song cavalry. Use him in exchange for the self-esteem and hope of our party members! ”

The setting sun stretched the figure from behind, and on the gentle slope of the wasteland, more than 60,000 people waited for the storm. When the dusk sun was about to sink into the boundless sea of grass, a tremor crept crept through the earth, and a moving horizon in the distance chased the last afterglow and slowly moved forward.

In the rhythmic ups and downs of the low horn, the cavalry of the Song army, which was still marching slowly, began to slowly accelerate. As the most powerful army in the Central Plains, the change from a horse to a war horse was just a breath, and the silver fish scales formed by the shining long knives gathered together fluctuated and swam. Looking at the army that was rapidly changing in battle, Brother Richard couldn't help but admire, and now the combat effectiveness of the cavalry of the Song army has far exceeded that of the cavalry of the Jin army and the cavalry of the Liao army at its peak.

Wang Yan, the chief general of the Song army, who was dressed in regular clothes, saw the huge military formation of the Tanguts on the hill in front of him from a distance.

"My lord, the front army has attacked."

"This infantry main army formation must have been done by their commander knowing about the defeat of the cavalry. The whole army presses up, and before the moon rises in the middle of the sky, I hope to settle the battle. ”

The trumpet sounded again. "Kill!" Tens of thousands of Song cavalry roared and rushed up.

Looking at the swarming cavalry of the Song army, Brother Richard secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that the generals of the Song army also began to underestimate the enemy after the big victory, in a vain attempt to use the most direct way to eliminate the infantry phalanx of the Western Xia army in front of him.

He could already imagine what would happen next.

If his guess is correct, the cavalry of the Song army will then engage the spearmen of the Western Xia army. The cavalry of the Song army used to use long knives instead of spears. In this way, the result of the cavalry directly attacking the spear forest was that even the men and horses were pierced by the special spears of the Western Xia army, and this kind of Zhangba spear was definitely a killer against the cavalry impact. In front of the shield wall, the Song cavalry would constantly fall with the cracking sound of their spears. The Song cavalry who were stabbed and thrown off the war horse would scream and take the initiative to pounce on the spears, while the Song cavalry who were lucky enough to rush under the shield wall would continue to be poked off their horses by the spears stabbed from the back row. The Western Xia spear foot soldiers under the shield wall lost their broken spears and desperately withstood the huge shield to maintain the integrity of the shield wall.

Next is the diffuse preparation of the archers of the Western Xia army, after letting go of the front army of the Song army, in the face of the cavalry of the Song army rushing up under the black pressure, the archers who are the backbone can begin to exert their might.

Tens of thousands of heavy arrows fired by hard bows will be fired into the air, "Whoosh! Sou! The terrifying sound of arrows breaking through the air will continue to sound.

Heavy arrows shot at the air have a certain curvature. Heavy arrows that reach their highest point and then fly downwards will be exponentially more lethal against dense targets.

The bows of the Dangxiang people may not be as famous as their fine iron weapons, but they are definitely the most lethal of them. A party hunter can shoot through an adult bison at a distance of forty feet when using a heavy arrow. Each skilled party hunter can shoot twelve arrows with precision in an instant, or fifteen in the case of diffuse. The dense charging formation of the Song cavalry would provide good targets for the archers composed of these party hunters. When the dense arrows rained down, the Song cavalry, who were only wearing leather armor, would be shot down in pieces......

But none of this happened.

After the Song cavalry rushed forward for a while, they inexplicably slowed down their advance.

Brother Richard didn't understand what Song Jun wanted to do, and at this moment, there was a sudden loud thunderous noise in the distance.

Richard turned his head to follow the sound, and saw a large cloud of white smoke rising from a hillside, followed by a piercing whistling.

Several huge black balls fell from the sky at a rapid pace towards the Western Xia Army's infantry array.

Just as the black ball was about to hit the ground, Richard saw a flash of light, he felt his eyes stabbed, and he couldn't help but raise his hand and block it.

It was as if a thunderclap sounded in his ears, followed by the screams of the Western Xia footmen.

Richard removed his hand, and he saw that some of the black balls exploded in the air, and some fell to the ground and exploded, and with each explosion, the severed hands and stumps flew up, and the Xixia infantry fell one after another like mowing grass, and the originally neatly arranged military formation was thrown into chaos.

Brother Richard's heart was full of horror, what new weapon was Song Jun using?

Legend has it that the Song army had a powerful "thunderbolt cannon" used to destroy the fortified city, but it required a huge trebuchet for projection.

A black ball fell in the shield array and exploded, one huge shield was blown to pieces, and the Western Xia infantry holding the shield was also blown up, and cracks appeared in the originally indestructible shield array, and at this moment, the Song army's cavalry archers shot a dense rain of arrows.

A Persian poet who was present at the battle described it this way in his notes: "Even the pouring rain is not as good as the arrows of the Song people!" I should be glad that I survived, for I saw with my own eyes that the Tangut soldiers were shot, and the arrows from the sky pierced through the leather armor and body, and some of the arrows went through the saddle and into the horse's back, as if a man were nailed to a horse. ”

The terrible black ball was still falling, the shield wall collapsed in the explosion of the black ball and the rain of arrows in the sky, the horn sounded again, and the Song cavalry began to charge at full speed at this time.

The Song cavalry soon began to make contact with the Western Xia army, and the Song cavalry of the brigade poured in through the gap in the shield wall that had been blown open, and the battle soon turned into a one-sided massacre.

A large number of foot soldiers gathered on the front of the battle array of the Western Xia army, they were slaughtered by the flying long knives of the Song cavalry behind the shield wall, and the subsequent Song cavalry continued to pour in from the gap in the shield wall, and the battle formation formed by the Western Xia infantry with spears could not stop this flood of charges at all.

Under the fierce onslaught of the Song cavalry, the originally neat three-column shield wall had become uneven, and soon, the Tanguts were broken through the defense line by the Song people.

Wang Yan couldn't help but be a little surprised when he noticed that under the impact of the Song cavalry, the Western Xia army did not collapse as quickly as before, and still maintained a roughly complete formation.

"It seems that this Brother Richard has some ability, no wonder Liu Fa died at his hands." Wang Yan put down the clairvoyant mirror in his hand and waved his hand to the deputy general.
