After all, the military industry of Western Xia is not as dense as that of the Great Song Dynasty, and there is a shortage of military materials such as bows and arrows, so although there are many mineral deposits in Western Xia, their total number of arrows is not comparable to that of the Great Song Dynasty.

Taking advantage of the pause of the Western Xia arrow rain, Zhao Gu ordered the attack again, and after another wave of arrow rain, the Western Xia soldiers suffered heavy losses again, and the blood and water flowed down with the rain, staining the green grassland.

But after a while, the Western Xia soldiers also learned wisely and began to disperse, so that the third wave of arrows ordered by Zhao Gu did not kill many Western Xia people.

Zhao Gu saw that the rain of arrows had no effect, so he immediately stopped firing, but fortunately, there was a rain curtain to cover it, and the soldiers could also be dispersed on the side of the Great Song Dynasty, and the arrows of Western Xia would also have no effect.

Now it seems that only by hand-to-hand can the winner be truly distinguished.

Li Jiqian obviously saw this as well, so the Western Xia soldiers quickly launched an attack.

With the sound of a horn, at least more than 30,000 Western Xia cavalry rushed over, and Zhao Gu hurriedly ordered the soldiers to block it.

Seeing that the Song infantry retreated three steps one after another, they were uniform, and when the Western Xia cavalry came to the dug trench, the archers immediately released their arrows again, and at the same time, the spears in the hands of the infantry also stabbed out.

The so-called killing of a thousand enemies and self-loss of eight hundred, the Western Xia soldiers, as the attacker, immediately lost a lot of people once they came into contact, because with the blocking of the trenches, the charge of the Western Xia cavalry had no effect at all, once they stopped, they would immediately become a live target for the archers of the Great Song Dynasty.

The infantry of the Great Song Dynasty was not far behind, and the spears were specially stabbed into the legs of the horses of the Western Xia cavalry, as long as the legs of the horses were stabbed, they were immediately turned on their backs.

The Western Xia soldiers had no choice but to ignore the trench and continue to charge forward, some horses jumped over, and the people on the horse immediately slashed wildly, and they also killed many Song soldiers.

More cavalry did not jump over, but fell into the trench, and they only then found that the bottom of the trench was filled with tough wooden spears, stones, etc., and once the men and horses fell into it, they could not survive.

But the Western Xia cavalry has already launched, even if the people in front of them want to rein in the precipice, it is too late, because the last person is charging forward, and it is by no means something you can stop if you want to, once the cavalry in front suddenly stops, it will definitely be trampled to death by the horses rushing from behind.

As a result, the Western Xia cavalry could only charge more and more desperately, even if the trench in front was full of their comrades, they could only step on the corpses of their comrades and rush forward.

At this moment, there were only one or two thousand Western Xia soldiers who died at the hands of archers and pikemen, plus more than 2,000 people who fell into the trenches, and only 25,000 or 6,000 of the 30,000 cavalry of Western Xia were left at this time, a full loss of one-tenth.

On the other hand, on the side of the Great Song Dynasty, only one or two hundred people were killed, and the contrast is so great that it is breathtaking.

On the battlefield, the situation changed in an instant, and after the Western Xia cavalry stepped through the trench, it immediately showed a trend of a fierce tiger descending the mountain, and rushed straight to the Song infantry.

As soon as they made contact, the two thousand Song infantry returned to the western sky in the blink of an eye.

Zhao Gu was not afraid, and ordered to change the formation, and the Great Song infantry immediately retreated, with archers and pikemen arranging the formation behind, constantly using bows and spears to block the charge of the Western Xia cavalry.

After a charge, the Western Xia cavalry was not without casualties, at least they also killed nearly a thousand people.

The corpses of more than 3,000 soldiers lay on the ground next to the trench, and with the delay of the Song infantry, the offensive of the 25,000 Western Xia cavalry finally slowed down.

At this moment, Zhao Gujun gave an order, and the 30,000 cavalry of the Great Song Dynasty immediately rushed from the rear, and instantly cut the 25,000 cavalry who had slowed down the offensive into five areas.

Next, it is a meat grinder-like battle, the Great Song cavalry is waiting for work, plus the soldiers are strong and strong, the weapons are excellent, the Western Xia cavalry has been fighting for a while, the casualties are quite large, and the speed has not been raised, that is naturally a great advantage, half an hour later, the Western Xia cavalry has been wiped out more than 10,000, and the Great Song side has only lost thousands of people.

Immediately after, the Western Xia cavalry actually intended to escape, and the Great Song cavalry naturally would not let them go, so they pursued behind, and after cutting off the heads of thousands of Western Xia cavalry, they returned with a full load.

In the first battle, the Great Song and Western Xia fought for two and a half hours, of which the Great Song lost more than 6,000 people, and the 30,000 cavalry of the Western Xia only had more than 10,000 left, and the Great Song Dynasty was a great victory.

Zhao Gu knew that the real Armageddon was still to come.

Didn't you see that Li Jiqian only sent 30,000 cavalry over, but he still had 170,000 troops that had not been dispatched, if Zhao Gu was as expected, the reason why he only sent 30,000 soldiers and horses to fight against Zhao Gu's 50,000 soldiers and horses was nothing more than to try whether the Shenwei Thunderbolt could not be used on a rainy day, once he confirmed his guess, the Armageddon would definitely break out immediately.

And the time that Zhao Gu was waiting for was also at this moment.

After the Western Xia cavalry fled back, the war was temporarily stopped, and although the heavy rain was lighter than before, it was still falling, making the scenery ahead hazy, and it was still not very real.

Taking advantage of this rare intermission, Zhao Gu hurriedly asked people to collect the corpses of the fallen soldiers, and at the same time let the living soldiers go into the tent in batches to warm up and eat.

Speaking of eating, I have to say that Zhao Gu brought here another invention, a month or two ago, Zhao Gu saw that most of the food sent by the imperial court was raw rice and raw flour, and the Huotou Army had to cook for at least half an hour, so he took advantage of his leisure time to let the Huotou Army make noodles from all the flour, which were mixed with chopped green onions, garlic, salt and other ingredients, and then fried in a pot, and the first instant noodles in the world were baked.

Nowadays, the food that soldiers eat is instant noodles, although this thing is not nutritious if they eat too much, and it is not easy to store, but it is good to have a hot meal to eat during the war years, and naturally everything is based on convenience.

As long as you soak the fried instant noodles in boiling water, more than a dozen Huyanjian instant noodles will be soaked and eaten immediately, which is really the best weapon to save time on the battlefield.

Everyone knows that the situation on the battlefield changes instantly, time is life, and the combat strength of a well-fed soldier and an underfed soldier are incomparable.

Just when the soldiers came down from the battlefield, the firehead soldiers in the barracks had already boiled boiling water and prepared instant noodles, and after a while, the soldiers were 'snoring' with bowls, and the barracks were filled with the tempting aroma of instant noodles.
