Although he did not agree with the proposal of the Qi State Officer Corps to fight in the field, it was no problem at all to rely on Suizhou City to defend the same number of Western Xia troops, and everyone originally thought that things would develop like this.

But suddenly a new order came from Yan'an Prefecture, ordering the Suizhou troops to attack in the direction of Xiazhou to contain part of the Western Xia forces and relieve some of the pressure on the defense of Yan'an Prefecture.

The officer corps also received information, because the chief officer of the musketeers this time was Tong Guan's nephew Tong Dafang, so he did not deal with the Northwest Zhejia and the Seed Family, and the Musketeers were trained under the concern of the corrupt officials, so this time the Folded Family and the Seed Family deliberately took this opportunity to engage in this corrupt official army.

This time, there are Lu Zhishen and Yang Zhi from the Northwest Army in the officer corps, and the two of them face their former colleagues, although they want to help the arrogance of the family to kill these corrupt officials, but these soldiers are innocent, not to mention the soldiers who have brought themselves for a few months, even if they are not their own sons, they have cultivated feelings.

Tong Dafang was quite afraid of death, and he was very resistant to this kind of order, but he also knew that if he had to go to the old and small races, he would definitely join him together, so he called all the generals and the main generals of the officer corps to study together.

In the opinion of the officer corps, the opponent has 30,000 cavalry, and he has 50,000 infantry musketeers, although he can't break the enemy without casualties like the Qi army, but it is still possible to defeat the enemy under the condition of suffering certain casualties.

Moreover, the information given by the breeder and the intelligence of the Qi State show that the enemy army on the opposite side claims to be 30,000, but in fact there are only 10,000, which is just a bluff to disperse the strength of the Song army, so everyone can't find fault with the method of encircling Wei and saving Zhao.

Lu Zhishen and Yang Zhi were useless in persuading Tong Dafang to be timid and afraid of death, so they simply suggested that Tong Dafang should command remotely in Suizhou City, leaving a regiment to defend Suizhou with the original 8,000 soldiers in Suizhou.

In this way, the credit is Tong Dafang, and the responsibility for the matter can also be pushed to the head of the officer corps, for this kind of suggestion, Tong Dafang will not agree, so after three days of preparation, the Great Song Musket Army began to set off from Suizhou.

Originally, the 10,000 cavalry sent by the Western Xia was only responsible for monitoring the movements of the soldiers and horses in Suizhou, so they were stationed thirty miles outside the city, and this kind of surveillance was already commonplace for the Western Xia cavalry, because as long as their own cavalry was stationed here, the army of the Great Song Dynasty would not dare to come out.

But now there has been a change, looking at the Song army coming out of the city, the scouts of Western Xia were stunned for a moment, looking at the strict formation of the Song army, what they wanted was not to go back to report immediately, but to tease the other party.

Ten cavalry scouts rushed towards the Song army with roaring horses, and they planned to rush to the Song army when they were sixty or seventy paces ahead and put a few rounds of arrows before leaving, but the generals of the Song army just looked coldly, and a battalion of Song troops began to form a firing formation under the command of the officer.

One hundred paces, the Western Xia cavalry screamed, ninety steps still the same, eighty steps officer's hand raised, seventy steps all the soldiers' hands began to hold the trigger, sixty steps, when the Western Xia cavalry began to prepare to release the arrows and then turned the horse's head: "Shoot!" ”

"Phew! Bang! Bang! "The sound of the guns was chaotic and orderly, the order of the shots was the order, the order was that they all shot their own bullets in three seconds, the faint smoke dissipated, there was silence in front, and the ten cavalrymen faced the fire of six hundred muskets, that is, no matter how low the mission rate was, sixty paces, each of these ten cavalrymen was hit by at least ten shots.

After the Song army calmed down, there was a small commotion, and then it calmed down again, this small encounter seemed to give the Song army a different kind of confidence, the troops moved forward again, everyone seemed to have a different thing in their hearts, the musketeer kept looking at the gun in his hand, it turned out that this thing was really useful.

The death of ten scouts caused the reaction speed of the Western Xia cavalry to be reduced by ten miles, and the second wave of the Western Xia cavalry was still more reliable, and did not plan to return to the camp in the twentieth provocation report, and after the Western Xia cavalry got the news and began to leave the camp as a whole team, the Song army had already lined up and advanced ten miles.

The two sides met at a distance of fourteen miles from the city wall, and the Western Xia general Helian Mountain City knew his mission, which was to drag down this Song army, and now that the Song army was out of the city on a large scale, Helian Mountain City felt that as long as he charged along the opposite army formation a few times, and then shot a few rounds of arrows, the other party would obediently retreat.

Even Helian Mountain City felt that maybe the Song army was relatively weak if it was lucky, and after a few rounds of arrow rain, the opponent's formation shook itself and he could still break the enemy in one battle, as for the ten scouts, Helian Mountain City did not receive the news at all.

He thought so and did so, but the Song army on the opposite side first placed a row of thistles in the open space in front of him, and then formed a large phalanx to wait for the enemy's cavalry to approach.

This time, despite the efforts of the officer corps, the Song army only equipped them with 3,000 cavalry, and this cavalry was guarded in the center of the position.

The Western Xia cavalry began to charge in a circle, and the Song army began to commotion, but it was quickly controlled, and the Western Xia cavalry first circled a hundred paces away, and then approached in the process of circling the circle, and when the two sides approached seventy paces, the Western Xia cavalry began to shoot arrows.

It's just that the effect is not ideal, most of the arrows are up to seventy steps to hit the shield array, and occasionally there is no power to hit the musket array, Helian Mountain City began to move forward at a glance, and when the troops entered sixty steps, the musketeers of the Song army began to step forward and enter the shooting formation.

There was a burst of shooting, and the Western Xia cavalry fell one after another at a speed of dozens of seconds per second, and Helian Mountain City was happily shooting arrows, as for the cavalry behind, he couldn't see who fell off his horse.

After turning around, Helian Shancheng saw the corpse of the fallen cavalry in front of him before he reacted, his men were suffering heavy casualties, and hurriedly retreated, and finally checked the number of people and found that more than 2,000 horsemen had been killed and injured in this circle.

Such a loss not only did not make Helian Mountain City calm or afraid, but instead aroused his ferocity, and gathered the remaining more than 7,000 cavalry to form a charging formation, ready to take revenge!

The Song army was still a little nervous on the side, but Helian Mountain City's circling tactics were simply sending them a moving target, so after a round of shooting, everyone found that their nervousness had calmed down a lot.

Seeing that the enemy army did not retreat, but wanted to form a charging formation, the Song army was immediately happy, to say that if the Western Xia cavalry wanted to run, the Song army really had no good way, but now that the enemy army is fighting to the death and continues to attack, everyone knows that the opportunity for meritorious service has come.
