The Western Xia cavalry, who had been busy receiving the order to retreat in the middle of the night, had just had a breakfast that was not delicious. Begin to give orders from the officers who are also unhappy, and begin to pack up and prepare to leave.

Just as the scout posts were about to return to assemble, the scout posts were in sight. Suddenly, I saw a deafening sound of horses' hooves in front of me, and soon a cavalry team of 1,000 people dressed in Song army clothes appeared in my sight.

This discovery immediately shocked the scouts, and they immediately turned their horses around and returned to the camp to report the news. As for staying behind to block the attack, relying on a few of them to block a thousand-person team attacking at high speed, that is undoubtedly an act of seeking death.

As these Western Xia scout sentries quickly turned around and fled, the Song army's thousand-man squad also roared, chasing behind these scout sentry and attacking the Western Xia camp under Lanzhou City. This movement naturally attracted the attention of the defenders in Lanzhou City.

Waiting until the Western Xia scout sentry running in front of the Song army's cavalry thousand-man team, like a frightened foal, rode on the horse and shouted: "The enemy is attacking, the enemy cavalry is coming." ”

This sound immediately caused the Western Xia cavalry, who were packing and packing their things, to be startled again. They all left their work behind, found their war horses and immediately turned over, waiting for the command officer's order.

Hearing the sound of horses' hooves outside, Helian Tieshu and Tuoba Ye were also shocked by the news when they learned that the Song Dynasty cavalry had appeared outside the camp. When did the cavalry of the Song Dynasty dare to be so bold and appear in front of them in broad daylight?

Helian Tieshu and Tuoba Ye, who were riding on their horses, soon saw a Song Dynasty cavalry that was only a mile away from them, so they immediately stopped their horses. Looking at those Song Dynasty cavalry, just a thousand-man team, Helian Tieshu also felt.

This cavalry team of 1,000 people seems to have grown their guts. Dare to appear in front of their tens of thousands of elite cavalry. Is it true that when the Western Xia cavalry is incompetent, at this kind of dawn, they can't contain their thousand-man cavalry?

Helian Tieshu, who felt a little angry, immediately said: "Guvatu, lead your warriors and give these arrogant Song army cavalry a little color." When. The dignity of my Western Xia cavalry is also all trampled on by them? ”

Behind him, a rugged Western Xia thousand cavalry general immediately said: "Obey the order!" Sons, follow me and kill Song Dog! ”

As the thousand-horseman general returned the order, a thick mace in his hand struck, and the Western Xia cavalry under his command quickly left the camp. The Western Xia cavalry, who had not received the order, felt a little envious of these comrades who had the opportunity to take the Song Dynasty cavalry to dissipate their anger.

Zhang Tingguang, who has been paying attention to the movements of the Xixia people outside the city. Watching a thousand-strong cavalry team run out of the Xixia camp. Suddenly smiled and said, "This thousand-person team is finished!" ”

Hearing this, Lu Dazhong hurriedly said, "Impossible, right? A thousand against a thousand, it is not yet known who will win and who will lose. Why did General Zhang say such discouraged words? Don't you know the strength of the cavalry you trained? ”

Faced with Lu Dazhong's misunderstanding of the meaning of his words, Zhang Tingguang said with tears and laughter: "I'm talking about the end of this Xixia thousand-person team?" If my guess is correct, the Golden Battalion appeared here, just as a suspicious fisherman. ”

Perhaps to confirm Zhang Tingguang's words, those cavalry of the Jinzi Battalion who strangled their horses outside the Western Xia camp. As Gao Mingjun raised his spear towards the attacking Western Xia thousand-man team, he immediately turned around and left after a rain of arrows.

Looking at this sudden appearance of the Song cavalry. Shot nearly 100 of his own cavalry, and he didn't even have the courage to hedge. Immediately turn the horse's head and flee. How could Guvatu and his cavalry be willing to let him escape?

Immediately accelerated the slapping of the war horse, and pursued the Song army's thousand-man cavalry not far in front of them, and He Tietieshu, who was sitting in the cavalry camp. Seeing that the cavalry of the Song Army was driven out of sight by the thousand cavalry under his command, he felt relieved and a little confused.

It stands to reason. The cavalry of the Song Dynasty will not fail to understand, in a cavalry duel. The cavalry of the Song Dynasty, in a one-to-one situation, had little possibility of winning the cavalry of Western Xia in the field. So why do they do it?

Helian Tieshu, who felt that he had just ordered a little recklessly. He could only hope that his worries would be superfluous, and he ordered the army to continue to allocate camps and withdraw troops. Let Tuobaya's cavalry take the lead, his own cavalry will be broken, and in the middle will be the infantry and the cavalry that has lost its horse.

Looking at the pursuit of the thousand-man team, it has been almost an hour since it left and has not returned. Helian Tieshu realized that something was wrong with the situation, and sent several scout cavalry teams to search the other side where they had disappeared, and quickly ordered the army to move.

For some reason, he suddenly felt that if he didn't leave, he would most likely be left in Lanzhou. Although he also felt that it was unlikely, what about the number of cavalry available to him, and nearly 10,000 people? It's only a one-day trip, so why can't you go back to Western Xia?

The Lanzhou defenders, who were also quietly watching the Tangut people's move, also felt that these annoying Tanguts were finally leaving. Although they really wanted to leave all these people under the city of Lanzhou, they also knew that with their strength alone, there was only one way to get out of the city.

In the ridicule of these defenders of Lanzhou City, the Western Xia cavalry, who came happily, could only leave unwillingly. Regardless, leaving in this situation is the wisest option.

At least in the eyes of many Western Xia cavalrymen, although they didn't bargain for anything on this trip, the Song Dynasty people couldn't stop them from leaving. They only need to go back to the Yellow River to reorganize the army and replenish their supplies, and they can also make a comeback.

With this self-consoling mentality, the cavalry of Western Xia began to embark on the road back, just like those who had won the battle. Because of the need to take into account the distance between the infantry and the cavalry who had lost their horses, the speed of the troops was naturally not as fast as when they came.

When the Western Xia army walked out of Lanzhou City less than twenty miles away, and there was no longer a shadow of Lanzhou City, the Tuoba cavalry walking in front of the army. Suddenly, I saw a bend in the plain in front of me, and a thousand cavalry teams of the Song Dynasty rushed out.

Just as the cavalry of the Tuoba tribe shouted vigilance, the thousand cavalry of the Song army, which suddenly attacked, attacked the left flank of the Tuoba cavalry like a whirlwind. After a rain of sharp arrows, he immediately rushed to the open field next to him.

Tuobaye, who felt that the situation was a little wrong, did not order the cavalry to pursue, but coldly watched the other party escape from afar. Just as he watched the cavalry of the Song army disappear from sight, Tuoba Ye ordered to collect the corpses of those cavalry with arrows and continue to march.

But it didn't take long for the Song army to leave the thousand cavalry team, which appeared in front of their army again, and this time chose the right flank to attack. After a few waves of arrows, as the Tuoba cavalry prepared to counterattack, they quickly fled forward.

Tuoba Ye, who once again ordered not to pursue, looked at the cavalry under his command and looked extremely angry, and also felt that this Song army's thousand cavalry was too hateful. Dare to repeatedly challenge the dignity of their Tuoba cavalry!

It's just that Tuoba Ye thinks of the thousand cavalry team that has not yet returned, and always feels that something is wrong, so he strangled his angry subordinates not to fall for the trick. If they divide their forces to pursue, they will only fall into the trap of the Song army.

This idea and concern are good, but when we continue to march for a while, the Song army's thousand horsemen reappear. Tuoba Ye finally couldn't bear it, and sent a thousand horsemen to block the attack, and strictly ordered them not to pursue too far.

Although the order given by Tuoba Ye was correct, he forgot that the cavalry from the Tuoba clan dared to fight against the iron cavalry of the Liao State. When were they still afraid of the weak Song Dynasty cavalry?

Chasing and chasing in the blink of an eye, every cavalry of the Tuoba clan only thought about killing the fleeing Song cavalry in front. Unexpectedly, they had already left the large army for some distance.

When they realized that they had fled from the large army, the Song Dynasty cavalry, which had been fleeing, suddenly turned their horses and charged at them. Just when these Tuoba cavalry felt that the other party finally did not escape.

Behind the Tuoba thousand-strong team, there was another fierce sound of horses' hooves. The Tuoba cavalry who looked back at the Song Dynasty cavalry who came from front and back to cover up, although they felt a little dangerous, no one chose to escape.

Instead, they greeted it more and more fiercely, and faced off with the Song Dynasty cavalry who were intercepting before and after. Perhaps in their opinion, with their strong follow-up tactics, there is nothing wrong with one against two.

It's just that when the two sides finally started a head-to-head confrontation, these Tuoba cavalry looked at the cavalry around them who kept being hit by arrows and falling off their horses. Suddenly felt that the Song army who was dueling with them would be played by the Liaoguo Iron Cavalry?

With this shock, when facing the upcoming cavalry horse slashing duel. But he was shocked to see that this cavalry of the Song army actually had a hand crossbow with a good short arrow.

A wave of crossbow arrows came, and the Tuoba cavalry who rushed in front was even more swept away by the fallen leaves. By the time the Tuoba cavalry rode behind, they had not yet counterattacked from this blow.

These cavalrymen of the Song army all drew their horse weapons unusually coldly and entangled with them. The two horsemen staggered, and the slain and wounded cavalry seemed to be more from the Tuoba cavalry. For those Song cavalry, the casualties seemed to be insignificant.

Faced with this situation of being a little stunned, the cavalry of the Song army, which was chasing behind, immediately covered up and came to make up for the sword. Realizing the danger of the intelligence department, the surviving cavalry of the Tuoba tribe thought of breaking through and seeking the protection of the large army.

It's just that they still want to escape at this time, how can these cavalrymen who have finally fished them out let go? turned the entire battlefield into the pursuit of the Song army again, these Tuoba cavalry who were still extremely fierce before.

Until the last one is rounded up and killed, the two cavalry fighting side by side quickly clean up the battlefield. Gather the remains of the cavalry of the headquarters, gather the ownerless war horses and leave quickly.

When Tuoba Ye felt that this thousand-man cavalry team had been pursuing for a long time, he sent another thousand-man cavalry to reinforce and search. All I saw were the corpses of the cavalry whose heads had been cut off all over the ground, and the corpses of the horses that had fallen on the spot.

In the whole scene, not even a shadow of a cavalry of the Song army could be seen. This kind of speed and tragic situation made the Tuoba cavalry who came to support feel cold, and the corpses did not converge and immediately returned, for fear of repeating the back path of these comrades!
