Looking at such a young prince, the military position he held in the Great Song Dynasty was already similar to him. Looking at the same young but energetic cavalry around him, Amuli was indeed worried about the future of Western Xia.

A nomad who had suffered from the Central Plains Dynasty in his early years and had elite cavalry. Whether it is the current Western Xia or Daliao, or even Tubo, they dare not supply high-quality war horses to the Central Plains at will.

What I am afraid of is that the Song Dynasty has cavalry, which will once again sweep the nomads and the grassland land on which they depend.

In recent years, with the increasing strength of the Western Xia and the Liao State, the monarchs and ministers of the two countries who were already unwilling to defend the grassland land were all branded with the idea of the Song Dynasty, which sat on the rich land of the Central Plains, the Zhao dynasty. Every time before the winter closure of the grassland, they will come in and loot it.

In the face of their raiding and roving rangers, the Song Dynasty could only take a defensive position over the years, often sticking to the border gates and cities, allowing their rangers to wreak havoc in the border areas.

Over time, it also instilled a psychological pathology on the cavalry of these countries. That is to wait for winter to come, and go to the Song Dynasty to loot a sum of money, enough for them to have enough food and clothing for a year.

As one of the few people in Western Xia who is proficient in the culture of the Great Song Dynasty, he understands very well that the current Great Song Dynasty seems to be weak, but it is far from being something that the Western Xia can humiliate at will. Compared with Liao and Tibet, Western Xia, which was surrounded by the Three Kingdoms, was not full of dangers.

In this kind of crisis, Xixia always wanted to find a sense of confidence in Da Song. In Amuli's view, something will happen sooner or later. But he couldn't have imagined that this fear would become a reality today.

Although he didn't know how many of these cavalry troops were in front of him. From the previous battles, Amuli could see that the cavalry officers and soldiers were very good at riding and archery, and their weapons and equipment were much higher than theirs.

In addition, these cavalrymen are in their youth, giving them time to grow up. In the future, these outstanding cavalry will become the main force of the Great Song Dynasty to conquer the grassland. Until that time. The weakest of the Western Xia would be the target of these cavalry conquests.

Looking at the silent Amuli, Wang Zishu didn't want to say anything, and quickly said: "You are also a good man, I won't do it myself, you can cut yourself!" I can leave you with a whole corpse! ”

Hearing that the prince had no intention of capturing him, Amuli learned about the iron-blooded side of this cavalry. Just think about all these years. The soldiers and civilians of the Song Dynasty who were beheaded and captured by the Western Xia, Amuli felt that this might be the so-called retribution.

Whoever kills, people kill too!

Amuli quickly said: "Thank you General Wang for your kindness, it's just that Western Xia has never had a self-disciplined general, and I, Amuli, don't want to be such an incompetent general." Please also ask General Wang for advice! ”

Amuli, who was already with a whole face as he spoke, quickly raised his knife and pointed at Wang Zishu. This move naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of Wang Zishu's subordinates, who felt that this guy was too arrogant and arrogant.

Only Wang Zishu seemed very calm and said: "Since you don't want a whole corpse, then I will fulfill you!" Let's fight! ”

After speaking, he pointed at Amuli with an iron spear in his hand. The expression is also very serious. Clearly remember Cho Hyo-seok's teaching, that is, at any time, don't underestimate your opponent. Even if this enemy is a dying man!

As the two of them began to ride their horses to fight head-on in the open space vacated by the cavalry of the Fengzi Battalion, the sound of the collision between swords and guns was particularly intense. One is an injured but experienced steppe wolf, and the other is a young but sturdy jungle tiger, and the outcome seems to be worth looking forward to.

It's just that this anticipation didn't last long, as Wang Zishu's shot was as fast as a shot. Amuli, who was able to fight back before, already had only the life to block. With Wang Zishu's roar, the victory and defeat were soon over.

A shot pierced the other party's throat. looked at this somewhat unwilling Western Xia Qianqi general, and didn't think much about it. With a shake of the iron spear in his hand, the opponent's head was cut off from his throat, and blood suddenly gushed out from the severed head.

Looking at the corpses and human heads that had fallen under the horses, the cavalry of the Fengzi Battalion immediately cheered: "The general is mighty! ”

Only the prince knew in his heart that if it weren't for the three arrows in the other party's body. In today's single-handed battle, it is really unknown who will win and who will lose. Soon ordered someone to collect the corpse, hang the head directly on the horse's back, and prepare to clean up the battlefield and leave.

In the Fengzi Battalion, the battlefield was quickly cleaned up, and the corpses were piled up with the dead war horses. It was handed over to the guards of Qingyuan City to be cleaned up. They took only the heads and horses intact, and the rest were left here.

Even if there are two Western Xia thousand cavalry generals wearing plate armor in this team of less than 100 people, the cavalry of this armored wind word battalion is also not looked down upon. It is better to hand it over to the city defense army, and it is more appropriate to put it in the warehouse as the trophies.

In fact, after seeing the Fengzi battalion plugging the gap, the other four cavalry battalions had already stopped the pursuit and began to collect the ownerless war horses. As long as the horses are not too badly injured, they will have to bring them back later.

This time the cavalry went out, Zhao Xiaoxi had already said that killing the enemy was the first, and the war horse that robbed the Western Xia openly was the second. As long as there are enough horses, the expansion of the cavalry army is just around the corner.

For the Song Dynasty, which had the largest population, there was never a shortage of elite soldiers who could be trained into cavalry. What is lacking is the nomads, and there seems to be no shortage of high-quality war horses.

And these war horses that have become ownerless, pull back the cavalry to tame them, and in the future they will run for the Song army.

This time, nearly 2,000 cavalry of the opposing side were encircled and annihilated, except for the Huozi Battalion, which suffered the heaviest losses, with nearly 200 casualties and nearly 100 wounded. The casualty figures of the rest of the battalions were in the single digits. All this is due to the improvement of the equipment and skills and tactics of the cavalry soldiers.

Looking at Yang Jinbao, who was elated and indomitable before, this will be a little sluggish. Several thousand cavalry generals knew that the casualties of nearly 200 men were the largest since the cavalry army was formed.

Even if they annihilated nearly 2,000 cavalry in Western Xia this time, Yang Jinbao would inevitably be scolded after going back, and it was possible that this thousand cavalry would not be able to protect it.

After all, the officers and soldiers on active duty in the cavalry are all military attachés of the future cavalry seedlings!

It's just a cavalry battle, and casualties are inevitable many times. If it weren't for the Huozi battalion this time, they withstood the pressure and did not let the other party defeat in one fell swoop, and successfully let the other three battalions complete the encirclement. The number of cavalry protruding from the encirclement was certainly not as high as the nearly 100 men.

This shows that the fire battalion has made the greatest achievements in this battle, but the fire battalion has suffered the heaviest casualties. As for whether Yang Jinbao will accept punishment after he goes back, several thousand cavalry generals can't predict it.

After collecting the corpses of these comrades who died in battle, Gao Mingjun, as the temporary commander of the battlefield, quickly sent people to Qingyuan City. Let Li Mingda, the city defense officer who was watching all along, quickly lead the troops and people to clean up the battlefield.

As for the cavalry, they were still in time to return to their base camp before dawn. Without cavalry to look after you, going out of the city to collect corpses can sometimes be a dangerous task.

Knowing that these cavalry soldiers could be described as people from the Qin Guards, Li Mingda did not care about the slightest slackness, and soon left the city with a garrison army and a corpse collection team that had been prepared for a long time. After meeting with Gao Mingjun, the work of handing over the battlefield was completed.

They heard that the cavalry only wanted those horses that could still run, the rest of the horses that were disabled or killed in battle, and all those things that could be used. Li Mingda knew in his heart that they had really made a lot of money in this battle.

told the corpse collection team to hurry up, digging a big pit and stripping the body, and he chatted with Gao Mingjun for a while.

I also learned that in the future, the Western Xia is very likely to be overwhelmed by large troops, and the crisis on the head of Qingyuan City cannot be completely resolved.

Fortunately, Gao Mingjun saw Li Mingda's worries, and quickly said: "General Li, regarding the merits of this battle, I will return to Lord Qincha after I return to the camp." It should be your merit, and I will definitely not rob the cavalry camp.

Now what you have to do is to clean up the battlefield as soon as possible and try to complete the battlefield cleaning before dawn. As for the Western Xia army, as long as you show the courage of today, I believe they will not be able to break through the city you are defending.

And at that time, Lord-sama will also personally fight. As long as you can hold out for a few hours, we will be able to come to your aid quickly and take the pressure off your shoulders. I won't let you have a city ruin, please relax! ”

As a commander of the army, Li Mingda's qualifications are higher than Gao Mingjun's. But Li Mingda knows very well that the young man in front of him has become a thousand-man cavalry general of a thousand-person team at such a young age, and his identity is naturally not simple.

In addition, he is also a veteran of the army, so he knows what the surname 'Gao' represents. Soon said that he would do his best to protect the safety of Qingyuan City and prevent the Xixia people from having a chance to break the city.

After the two sides completed the handover, Gao Mingjun was soon under the watchful eye of the defenders of Qingyuan City, just as they had appeared when they appeared. Stepping on the moonlight like water, all the cavalry disappeared from their sight in a short time.

Without these cavalry to cover it, the scene of corpses all over the field soon appeared in front of Li Mingda and the corpse collection team. Li Mingda, who knew that there was not enough manpower, quickly asked people to go back to the city and notify the people to come and help.

The corpses of so many Western Xia cavalrymen, plus those war horses that died in battle. Even if the whole city joined in collecting the corpses, each person would be able to get a lot of clothes and horse meat. Although these things are not valuable, they are also necessary for the lives of ordinary people.

What's more, in order to cope with the possible next big war, Li Mingda urgently needs to replenish the consumed materials. The stones that had been thrown out of the city, and the arrows that were still intact, were to be taken back into the city as soon as possible.

Even if some of the stones and arrows were stained with blood, they were much better than digging and polishing. In times of war like this, seeing blood is a common thing.

With the help of the follow-up people and officers and soldiers, before the sun jumped over the horizon, the outside of Qingyuan City finally returned to its previous quiet and peaceful.

Only the big pits that had just been filled in warned the people of the city. There are countless Western Xia cavalry buried in it, which they hated in the past.

I just thought that it was the Western Xia cavalry who were buried today, not the soldiers and civilians of the Song Dynasty who only threw their bodies in the wilderness in the past. The soldiers and civilians of Qingyuan City also felt that they had suppressed the depression in their hearts for the past few years, and they finally vomited some today! (To be continued......)
