The fire rolls over, Niutou Mountain is reflected brightly in the dark, the black smoke is churning, the ashes are scattered, and the surrounding land is dyed black, in such a strange cold weather where thousands of mountains and birds are exhausted, and thousands of people are desperate, in such a prosperous and rich place in the Central Plains, the bitter cold and remote border state that will never be thought of, in this night, it has become a place where countless people sacrifice their lives to fight, and I don't know how many living lives will be devoured overnight!

Bianliang is soft and rich, come to a glass of warm wine at night to enjoy the snow, have you ever thought of how many Great Song Dynasty men, who are not allowed to die in the Ming Dynasty, and fight to the death with the future enemies of the Great Song Dynasty here?

Both sides are fierce foot warriors, at first collision, even the screams of the earth-shattering battle are stagnant, between heaven and earth, at this moment, it seems to be quiet for a moment, and then all kinds of shouts and screams burst out doubly!

Even in the era of cold weapons, the two sides fought in formation, hedged up, and carried out hand-to-hand combat for a life, which was not the mainstream of a battle.

In any era, a small battle that is not a select warrior, or who has undergone severe training, is forced to do so in a small battle, but is as tragic as a striker in a large battle.

The battle between the two armies is different, needless to say, the disparity between strength and weakness will not be so fierce, if the strength is evenly matched, it will not be easy to fight a battle, the first thing for the two sides to do is to stabilize the camp, protect their supply lines, have food to eat, stabilize their positions, and then consider finding the enemy to attack it.

The means that can be used are adapted to local conditions. The cavalry is mostly harassed by a large number of light cavalry, compressing the opponent's activity space, it is best to compress the opponent tightly in the camp, it is difficult to draw water, and the range of cavalry elite activities can be expanded, then consider cutting off the opponent's food route.

All in all, try to limit the other party's initiative. If you can't restrain the opponent, then consider other means to gain the initiative, or attack the enemy and save it, lure the opponent out of the solid camp and fortress, and make a surprise attack during the march, or show the enemy weakness and induce the opponent to divide the army.

Attacking in the gap can neither be limited nor mobilize the opponent. As long as there is a choice, a qualified coach is likely to choose not to fight, or a deep ditch and a high base, or simply lead troops to avoid it.

Waiting for a better opportunity, the main forces of the real two armies will be taken out, and they will fight against each other and fight for their lives. That's when neither side had a better choice, war in the age of cold weapons. The ability to organize and mobilize is far inferior to that of later generations, and it is needless to say that the rogue is coerced.

Is it so easy to build up tens of thousands or even tens of thousands of soldiers, supplemented by how many auxiliary soldiers and civilians, and equipped with sufficient chariots, horses, and military equipment? A hard-fought battle is the death of thousands of human beings, with the degree of organization that an agrarian society can achieve. With such a loss, the entire army will be severely damaged and will not be able to recover easily.

After all, human life is human life, not to mention the army that was organized with great difficulty, thinking that fighting a war is desperate for human life. That is a mediocre commander, and the morale will not be attached, but in the modern nation-state and even in the later era of industrialization, with the improvement of the degree of social organization, it is possible to organize a steady stream of army replenishment before the human resources are exhausted.

This kind of desperate war scene has become the mainstream of war, especially in the two world wars. A well-known Three Kingdoms, the battle between the two armies is a deep ditch and a high fortress at every turn, and it is a stalemate at every turn, and the last side retreats with all food.

The real hard-fought battles, that is, so few, and often each fought for thousands of lives, led the troops to retreat, each licked their wounds, and below the Han and Tang Dynasties, and even in the Song Dynasty, when the country was founded, there were several battles against Liao, and both sides suffered heavy losses, and finally the alliance of the Yuanyuan was over.

For the Western Xia war, there were also several battles that were not as large as the Song Liao war, although the Song people were defeated, the Western Xia did not use the strength of the country, and after the battle, they were also greatly injured.

From then on, the Song people organized a large-scale defense system along the border against the Western Xia, even if they attacked step by step, or pulled out points along the Hengshan Mountains and encroached step by step, or they took risks on the strategic flanks of the Hehuang land where the influence of the Western Xia was weak.

It is not easy to fight, to overwhelm the opponent's idea with national strength, a hard-to-face battle is so difficult, specifically in the process of a battle, the two sides meet the hand-to-hand combat, it is even more difficult, more common is that the two sides test each other's weaknesses, as much as possible to give full play to the long-range lethality of the bow and crossbow, to disrupt the opponent with cavalry, mobilize the opponent, after finding the opponent's weakness flaws, and then put into the elite attack, and strive to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop.

The elite armoured men on both sides marched in formation, colliding fiercely, fighting one life for another, and beating each other to collapse by desperate lives, such a war scene, even if it is a hundred, it is rare to have the last one!

And tonight in the Niutou Mountain Fortress, although the scale is smaller, but since the Jurchen army and horses surrounded Ulzhou, it has been such a fighting scene, at this moment, Miao Da led the dead soldiers under his command to collide straight over, the two sides of the elite men in armor, roaring and hedging up, in the narrow front, almost a life for a bloody battle.

The soldiers on both sides are rapidly consuming, and they are gritting their teeth to fight to the death, under the leadership of the leaders of both sides, the dead light is pouring up one person after another, so bloody and cruel, not to mention sideways, looking at it from a distance, they all feel frightened!

After all, Miao Da was just dozens of mourning soldiers, and in the end, this camp suddenly quieted down, and dozens of Song soldiers died here, Wanyan Kenu spat out, "This part of the Song people of the straight mother thief is also a little harder, and they beat and killed our hundreds of people!" ”

"Knu, come forward, the top of the mountain may not hold on! Ha Lao Mouke is afraid that all the arrows have been used up at this time! ”

Wanyan Kenu glared at this person fiercely, "Burn down the stockade here!" ”

The blazing fire rose into the sky, Miao Da and others who died here, even if they were dead, their eyes were staring at the dark night sky, and they couldn't close their eyes, Miao Da still had the last trace of dying consciousness, "Died in a foreign country, not even the bones were left, that's all, I will be buried on this Niutou Mountain, waiting for Xiao Yang to wave the master north on a different day, and recover here, at that time, I will be here to watch him, and I will always look at my great Song Dynasty's vigorous son!"
