Han Zhongyan quickly figured it out, and Wang Ningan told him to attract Li Liangzuo to take the bait and take the initiative to fight a decisive battle...... Of course, it is a choice for him to run to get angry, and showing weakness is naturally a move.

When he heard that Wang Ningze was stationed in the Niuxin Pavilion, Han Zhongyan guessed it.

Wang Ning Anken sent his brother, but he was absolutely reluctant to let him die in battle...... Although Han Zhongyan did not know how 5,000 people could stop an army of 100,000, Han Zhongyan was sure that Li Liangzuo was going to be unlucky, and he had fallen into the net set up by a seasoned hunter.

"Father, Xixia may be about to end, I hope the child can survive and destroy Xixia, and he must go to your old man's grave and talk about it...... Brothers in the army, you must fight well, and don't let a thief go! ”

Han Zhongyan thought about it, and unconsciously, fell asleep. He was so tired and weak that he could only wrap himself in an old sheepskin and fall asleep, but even when he fell asleep, his brow was still furrowed, and the wounds on his body were painful, and he only slept for a while, and then he woke up again.

In the haze, Han Zhongyan saw a big face with a full beard.

"Ahh He let out a low snort, and the other party hurriedly stretched out his hand and stopped him.

"Lord Han, don't shout!"

Han Zhongyan looked this guy up and down, he was obviously dressed as a Hu person, but he spoke fluent Chinese, which was very surprising, and Han Zhongyan couldn't figure out what was going on.

"Lord Han, the little one used to be a member of the family army, but this time he was ordered by the prince to take the initiative to take refuge in Li Liangzuo...... In fact, it is secretly protecting you! ”

"Protect me?"

Han Zhongyan was taken aback, he thought that Wang Ningan let him come, he was using himself as an outcast! I really didn't expect that Wang Ningan would arrange personnel...... Could it be a trick used by Li Liangzuo, Han Zhongyan was not sure, so he simply closed his mouth tightly and said nothing.

The other party didn't care, "Lord Han, you are not in danger for the time being, and we can't save it, waiting for the war to start, we will come over while the chaos is ...... Don't make a noise, let the Xixia dog thief know, and it will be a bad thing. ”

With that, he quietly left.

After he left, someone came to inspect again, Han Zhongyan just closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, about the fourth watch, suddenly the military camp was noisy, there were many Western Xia soldiers busy back and forth, Han Zhongyan was also thrown into the carriage, the army started, it turned out to be 20 miles away, it was Niu Xin Pavilion.

Li Liangzuo personally commanded the men and horses and launched a fierce attack on Niu Xin Pavilion.

Niu Xin Pavilion is just a projectile place on the map, it is not worth mentioning, but Western Xia has a 20 times advantage in troops, and everyone estimates that at most, Niu Xin Pavilion will be taken down in half a day.

Then the entire hinterland of the Great Song Dynasty was exposed, and they could go all the way south to Yan'an Mansion and cut off the back road of the Song army in Hengshan...... This is a very tempting prospect, if it goes well, they can regain the land they once lost, and the iron cavalry of Western Xia will regain its glory......

Han Zhongyan could clearly feel the joy of the soldiers around him, they were looking forward to the arrival of victory more than ever, but Han Zhongyan was not optimistic at all, he faintly heard the rumbling sound...... It's a firearm!

As a veteran who has been in the army for several years, Han Zhongyan knows very well that the firearms of the Great Song Dynasty have advanced by leaps and bounds in recent years, grenades, mines, swarms, 10,000 enemies, assault muskets, rockets, and ...... All kinds of things, more and more, relying on sharp firearms, the Song army faced the barbarian iron cavalry, almost overwhelming.

Niu Xinting must also be equipped with numerous firearms, which is almost certain, but how could the explosion be so loud this time?

Could it be that something new has come out again?

Han Zhongyan didn't know, but the earth-shattering explosions came and went, as if they hadn't stopped at all...... Even the Western Xia soldiers around him have changed their faces and colors, why haven't they taken the Niuxin Pavilion after most of the day, this is too strange, right?

At this moment, suddenly a cavalryman came, carrying a red pennant, and swept in front of the crowd.

"Your Majesty's will, come with me!"

He shouted three times in a row, and then rushed forward with thousands of reserves.

Li Liangzuo needs reinforcements!

Han Zhongyan opened his mouth wide in shock, how tragic this is, isn't 100,000 troops enough to fill it?

Wang Ning'an, what kind of killing weapon have you prepared!

Han Zhongyan was not calm at all, he really wanted to go and see, but unfortunately, there were still many Western Xia people around him, and he couldn't move at all. The taste of scratching the heart and scratching the liver is very uncomfortable, watching the sky dim and the sun setting...... At this time, a few more cavalrymen came.

They also took the rest of the people away, and Han Zhongyan was beside him, and there were only a dozen people watching.

Li Liangzuo has already used all the strength to breastfeed!

Han Zhongyan secretly thought that the Western Xia soldiers beside him also changed color, and seeing that they hadn't been beaten for a day, they must have encountered ruthless stubble.

Maybe they'll go to the front to fight next, right?

The old and the young, looked at each other, and they all showed a look of fear...... What are you doing here, let's run!

There was an old guy with a scar on his eye, who suddenly drew a dagger, he smirked and pounced on Han Zhongyan.

"Lao Tzu is leaving, but I don't have time to take you, let's die!"

He raised his knife and slashed down, Han Zhongyan closed his eyes in fright, but he didn't feel pain, but a stream of hot blood sprayed on his face, and when he opened his eyes quickly, he found that the old guy's neck was stuck with an arrow the thickness of a finger, and blood kept spraying out, and he fell to the ground with a face full of disbelief.

The other Western Xia soldiers were also startled and raised their weapons one after another, and at this moment, from all directions, crossbow arrows whizzed in, and a group of guys dressed as folk husbands rushed up and killed all these Western Xia soldiers.

The leader was covered in blood, ran to the carriage, and directly cut the ropes on Han Zhongyan's body.

He was the bearded man who went to see Han Zhongyan at night.

"My lord, come with us!"

Han Zhongyan escaped death, and he didn't care about anything, so he hurriedly got on the war horse, his hands and feet were tied and numb, and he had to be supported by someone to sit firmly.

More than a hundred people, like a whirlwind, ran out of the valley.

At this time, Han Zhongyan noticed that it turned out that this was a large undulating hill, and the Western Xia people and horses were stationed in it...... This piece is still Hengshan, Niu Xin Pavilion is located at a mountain pass of Heng Mountain, on both sides is a stretch of mountains, facing the north, is a fan-shaped open space, and Niu Xin Pavilion, is located at the bottom of the fan-shaped, very dangerous.

Wang Ning'an's choice of this place to bury the army of Western Xia was also deliberate.

Under the conditions of field warfare, even the sharpest firearms army may not be able to defeat 20 times the iron cavalry, and only by taking advantage of the terrain can the lethality of firearms be multiplied.

Han Zhongyan ran out with the men and horses, looked back, and relying on the only sunset, he could see far away, filled with gunsmoke and artillery fire.

It's been a day now!

Han Zhongyan reined in the war horse and said in a deep voice: "I'm going to take a look!" ”

The bearded man who rescued him was frightened, "My lord, the prince let us protect us and return to the Great Song Dynasty as soon as possible!" ”

"I must go!"

Han Zhongyan's tone was even more resolute, he urged the war horse violently, turned around and ran back, his beard was so anxious that he could only follow, and the soldiers behind him also hurriedly caught up.

"What are you doing with it? Don't hurry back yet! ”

"Lord Han, if we can't save you, we will also cut off your head...... Besides...... We also want to see how this battle is fought. ”

As he spoke, he grabbed an old sheepskin jacket and threw it to Han Zhongyan.

"My lord, wrap up a little, let's pretend to be Western Xia soldiers, they can't tell the difference."

Not to mention, this bearded man has some skills, he led the men and horses, from the gaps in the Western Xia army, quickly advanced, sometimes walking on the mountain beam, sometimes walking in the valley...... Even if he met a sentry from Western Xia and asked for a password, he would not hesitate to answer.

In this way, Han Zhongyan finally approached the battlefield, they were on a mountain beam, looking into the distance, in front of the Ox Heart Pavilion, black pressing, layer by layer of corpses, dense, like a colony of ants, Han Zhongyan's scalp was numb, he swore to the sky, the first time he saw so many dead people, it was simply Shura Hell!

And the culprit who created everything in front of him was none other than 500 artillery pieces!

With the successful development of the steam engine, the manufacture of firearms in Youzhou has entered a stage of large-scale. Although Wang Ningan didn't know much, thanks to so many gifts, he also knew some ways to increase the rate of fire.

For example, gunpowder packs made of silk can reduce residue, and granular gunpowder can increase the power of explosions...... After successfully researching artillery and guns, Wang Ningan was not in a hurry to put into actual combat, but painstakingly pondered how to improve the lethality, this cannon must be fired!

Through everyone's efforts, the rate of fire of the gun can reach three rounds per minute, and in the extreme case, it can reach five rounds, but at most ten rounds in a row, you need to stop and dissipate heat, otherwise there will be problems.

But even so, artillery is already the god of war.

In order to plan the big war with Western Xia, Wang Ning'an transferred 500 artillery pieces from Youzhou, all of which were put into the Niuxin Pavilion, and he also carefully camouflaged and put the artillery in the baggage car, which could not be seen from the outside at all, and the road along the way was reinforced enough to bear the weight of the artillery.

In this way, he turned the Ox Heart Pavilion into a giant hedgehog.

When Li Liangzuo attacked, the artillery showed great power.

More than a dozen pounds of shells kept falling into the storming cavalry, and more rockets, as if they didn't want money, poured down wildly, round after round, as if they would never stop.

When the cannonball rockets fell in the middle of the Western Xia cavalry, it would cause confusion, and the horses fled everywhere, scattering their own ranks...... Li Liangzuo was so angry that he screamed, he couldn't stand it anymore, he had a strong army, and he actually took down a small Niuxin Pavilion, he was angry, regardless of Liang Yifu's obstruction, and personally urged the men and horses to attack.

Suddenly, a cannonball fell less than three feet away from Li Liangzuo and exploded...... In the midst of an exclamation, Li Liangzuo fell straight from his horse......
