When the battle really began, he realized that he seemed to be wrong!

It is true that the Song army is light cavalry, but this time when they came back, all the weapons in their hands were replaced with broadswords. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info even dedicated to some more infantry.

Not only that, the Song army also deliberately avoided the frontal fight, except for the fight with the iron harrier above, the main target was all aimed at the war horse, to be precise, the horse's legs.

Chop the cavalry up and chop the horse's leg down, but the initial focus is on the horse's leg.

Heavy armored cavalry, the war horse will be protected, but not all places can be wrapped tightly, and the horse's leg is an obvious flaw.

With the neighing of the war horse, the horse's leg was cut off, and the cavalry on the horse rolled to the ground, and then he was greeted by the machete of the Song army's light cavalry from top to bottom, and blood splashed with a snort.

Some Western Xia soldiers were lucky, they escaped after falling off their horses, and they were able to pick up weapons to resist. It's just that they are wearing heavy armor, which is a good defense on horseback, because there are war horses to travel, and their flexibility will not be affected. But now it's different, the heavy armor affects their speed and strength. It is self-evident what the result will be for the sluggish infantry against the nimble cavalry.

Especially after the run just now, he was already exhausted, his combat effectiveness was greatly reduced, and he was not the opponent of the Song army at all. It was clear to him that the proud Iron Harrier had not been effective at all, but had been in a weak situation, and the situation had become worse and worse.

Soon, more than half of the three thousand Iron Harriers had been killed or wounded, and the iconic heavy armor had become a burden and a huge burden. Let them fail. At this time, the only thing that can be done is to retreat. continued, it was still a situation of being slaughtered by others, and the Western Xia soldiers had no intention of fighting. The always arrogant Iron Harrier finally suffered a loss, and it was also a big blow to their confidence, and it was inevitable that the Western Xia people would be demoralized.

It is not easy to withdraw if you want to, and the heavy armored cavalry has poor running ability. Naturally, the ability to escape is not much better.

So they were chased and killed by the Song army all the way, and the elite Western Xia Iron Harriers had to throw away their armor, and the three thousand people lost a lot, and only three or four hundred escaped.

"Lin Shilang, are you still chasing?" The person who came was Qin Shou, Qin Wuyang, the guard of Jialu Village. As soon as he heard his name, Lin Zhao wanted to laugh a little. It seems that in later generations, someone once selected the names of various pit sons. Du Ziteng, Wei Shengjin, and Qin Shou are all on the list. I thought it was just a joke, but I didn't expect someone to really take such a name.

Laugh at the smile. After laughing, he still focuses on business. After all, it is the loss of Jialu Village, which is logically at fault, but the loss of Jialu Village is expected, and Lin Zhao knows the inside story best. So you can't completely blame Qin Wuyang, not to mention that he was born in Fuzhou and is a person who is the eldest brother. After the loss of Jialuzhai, the Western Xia army continued to attack mainly northward, and the road was blocked. couldn't go to report the news, so he went to the front line of Suiyan to worship and plead guilty to Lin Zhao.

Lin Zhao didn't embarrass him, of course, some nominal punishments were necessary. Immediately, the current enemy is the high-sounding reason for employing people, so that he can make meritorious contributions. This time, Qin Wuyang also followed the expedition and served as a striker. The reason why he was fooled has a lot to do with his previous deceptive performance. In this regard, Lin Zhao and Chong Yong are more satisfied.

"No need, poor Kou Mo chasing, our goal has been achieved!" Lin Zhao waved his hand lightly, it could only be hundreds of people, there was no need to chase and fight. The goal has been achieved, and there are many casualties on his side, so there is really not much need. The hundreds of iron harriers who escaped were fine, and as for the reckless deception, it is conceivable what the fate of the generals after the defeat would be. Especially with a signature elite like Iron Harrier, Lin Zhao couldn't help but feel a little sympathetic to him.

Chong Yongce immediately stepped forward and said: "Dongyang, I have seen it today, and the defeat of the Iron Harrier tomorrow will spread throughout the northwest." This is an unprecedented achievement! ”

"Hehe, thanks to the old general's good command, he should be the first to take the lead."

Lin Zhao was very polite, and Chong Yong also knew it in his own heart, and waved his hand and said: "Lin Shilang is serious, you are like a god and have a good plan, how dare the old man take credit?" ”

Naturally, the credit will not be missing him, as long as the Wudingchuan side is proper, the farmer will inevitably be a great merit. Everything was arranged by Lin Zhao, and in the matter of Iron Harrier, which became famous, it was naturally not good to steal the limelight with Lin Zhao again. They all know what's going on, and they all know what to do.

"Hey, the blind cat just ran into a dead mouse!" Lin Zhao sneered, there was an element of gambling in itself. happened to be successful, but I didn't expect Empress Dowager Liang and Liang Yibury to really hate themselves so much, alas!

Although Chong Yong also feels this way, it is not easy to say. After all, things are developing according to Lin Zhao's prediction, and the final result is the same, a big victory, everyone is happy, what is not satisfied?

"Dongyang, what should I do next?" Chong Yong is very humble and self-aware, completely in the position of a deputy, and everything is subject to Lin Zhao's arrangement.

"The old general doesn't have to be polite, I thought that if I solved the iron harrier, I would be able to come to Jialu Village. However, I don't recommend storming, after all, the fort is also very strong, and it is not easy to conquer it when it is well guarded. Now that we are sending troops, we only need to defend on the perimeter. Not to attack, but to cut off their retreat, as well as the connection between them and Suizhou. ”

"It's good!" Chong Yong did not object to this, and it was indeed not a wise move to attack at the moment. If there is progress on the other side of the Wuding River, Jialuzhai may be self-defeating, so there is no need to cause unnecessary sacrifices.

Lin Zhao nodded and said, "Okay, let Qin Wuyang follow the old general, he knows the situation there best." ”

"The last general obeys!" Qin Wuyang is naturally omniscient, and he will not miss any opportunity to make meritorious contributions at the moment.

"As for my ......" Lin Zhao said with a smile: "It is estimated that it is time for Han Xuanfu to go to the front line, I have to go back!" The matter of Jialuzhai will be handed over to the veteran, and my uncle has already received my letter in Fuzhou, so he must have been prepared and will cooperate. ”

"You can rest assured to go back, Jialu Village will be handed over to the old man!" Chong Yong can also be regarded as a battlefield veteran, so this thing can naturally be done very properly.

Soon after, Seed Master Dao led thousands of reinforcements to arrive. It was clear that he was worried about their safety, so reinforcements were sent. Lin Zhao did not object to this, but was a little moved, the family is not bad, and he is willing to make Qingjian City empty, but also to ensure his own safety, of course, and their fourth uncle.

However, after the arrival of the seed master, he smiled and said, "It seems that my uncle's worries are superfluous, and I don't seem to have to rush!" ”

"I got my heart!" Lin Zhao smiled lightly, a kindness must be accepted.

The seed master Dao was all kinds of surprises, he had naturally heard of the name of the Xixia Iron Harrier, and he knew what the strength was. Unexpectedly, Lin Zhao defeated the Iron Harrier so easily, almost a one-sided victory. In such a situation, it is really impossible to accept it. Coupled with the arrangement on the side of the Wuding River, the Seed Master Dao suddenly felt the need to reacquaint himself with Lin Zhao, and he felt a lot more admiration and admiration in his heart.

Lin Zhao smiled: "It's just luck!" ”

The Xixia people are really cooperative, and in some cases, Lin Zhao himself thinks it is a coincidence, but the partial birth is just right, and it really happened. Chong Yong said that this is luck, Di Qing said that if there are many coincidences, it is luck, and the emperor's family believes in this statement.

The seed master said with a smile: "Whether it is strength or luck, it is all Brother Dongyang's clever plan, strategizing, and killing with real knives and guns, and this credit is indispensable." From tomorrow, Brother Dongyang will be even more famous all over the world, and the people of Xixia may be frightened. ”

"I hope so!" Lin Zhao smiled lightly and asked instead, "By the way, has the Wuding River started to move?" ”

"Uncle and Liu Changzuo should start acting!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When Lin Zhao and Gang Meng were fighting hotly, Suizhou also started to act.

Liu Changzuo, a general stationed on the front line in Suizhou, suddenly led a large army to attack Suizhou, and the Western Xia people took the initiative to tear up the peace treaty and take the first step, and the Song Dynasty naturally did not have to be polite, and the counterattack was reasonable.

Liu Changzuo's 5,000 cavalry is the elite from Gyeongju, the earlier battle of Gyeongju, was suppressed by the Western Xia, but the heart can hold a breath, at this moment like a tiger out of the cage, the combat power is very amazing. Not only that, but they also played the banner of capturing the Empress Dowager Liang alive.

It's no secret anyway, and public claims can boost morale. Of course, Liu Changzuo's troops were limited, and it was not easy to easily conquer Suizhou, but after the attack, it played a very good role. It was not easy for the Western Xia army under the city of Suizhou to go south to Yanzhou. Moreover, the main attention of the Western Xia people was concentrated on the city of Suizhou, and the reinforcements who arrived from Yanzhou in time also actively cooperated, alleviating the problem of insufficient troops to a certain extent.

Tuoba Shi was very helpless, and the Empress Dowager Liang put the main force in Linzhou and Fuzhou, and most of them were handed over to Liang Yibury. The strength of his subordinates is limited, and the safety of Gongwei Suizhou is indispensable, and now he is worried about the safety of the Empress Dowager Liang, so he does not dare to go out of the city at all, and makes a gesture of defending Suizhou to buy time for Liang Yi's burial. At the same time, he also transferred the troops near Suizhou to shrink back and concentrate his forces and deal with the Song army.

As a result, the periphery of Suizhou was empty and the defense was very weak. Taking advantage of this rare opportunity, the Chongjia army stationed in the Wuding River set out, and then under the leadership of the general Chongge, they quickly moved north along the Wuding River, all the way like a bamboo, and almost encountered little resistance.

At the same time, the large army that came all the way from Fuzhou also quickly moved south in the direction of the Wuding River, and their goal was to return to the city of Jingzhou.

The ultimate goal is to rule across the river, and the natural dividing line of the Wuding River is finally going to come in handy......
