As the best scout cavalry in the Western Xia army, they all have the opportunity to become the most elite iron harriers in the country. It's just that every Iron Harrier cavalry is the strongest of the Western Xia cavalry. How to prove this strongest depends on the number of enemy cavalry they kill.

Compared with killing the enemy cavalry in the big battle to accumulate combat merits, you can become a scout cavalry and enter the Song realm in advance. He served as a pioneer to reconnoiter the movement of the Song Dynasty army and provide intelligence for the entry of the later army.

He can also take a step behind the successive cavalry and kill the patrol cavalry of the Song Dynasty's border army in the Song Realm. These Western Xia scouts, everyone cherishes them very much, every time they encounter the opportunity to scout the Song Dynasty border army.

originally thought that Zhao Xiaoxi's sudden appearance of cavalry would be the same as the previous cavalry of the Song Dynasty's border army. When you see that your team does not have an advantage in numbers, you will turn around and run away. But these people in front of them don't seem to be ready to escape!

Judging from the terrain of the two sides alone, there is no doubt that Zhao Xiaoxi and his party have more advantageous terrain, and they can be the Western Xia scout cavalry. That one's riding and archery skills are not one in a hundred, so would you be afraid of this little terrain advantage?

So much so that these Western Xia scouts who turned over and got on their horses watched Zhao Xiaoxi stay on the hillside without moving, as if they were afraid that the other party would escape. These Western Xia scouts immediately patted their horses and rushed towards Zhao Xiaoxi and his party.

Looking at these Western Xia scouts, they dared to take the initiative to attack in such an unfavorable terrain. Zhao Xiaoxi also felt that the arrogance and arrogance of these Fanbang cavalry could be seen in this trip!

'Pick one by one, and the rest will go to the general. Whoever dares to hurt the opponent's war horse, all the exploits of this battle will be canceled. Offensive! ’

Zhao Hyo-seok, who also had itchy hands, quickly issued combat instructions. The number of scouts on this team is about the same as on his side. One estimate per person is about the same.

Although the twenty or so cavalry in front of him are the elite of the Western Xia cavalry. Compared to his team, there are either veterans who have survived a hundred battles, or young military attachés who have served as more than 100 cavalry.

Can't contain such a group of cavalry. So will you still need to fight this next battle? Compared with the heads of these Western Xia scouts, which can be used for military merit and promotion, Zhao Xiaoxi values the war horses they step on more.

This time he was willing to bring the cavalry here to participate in the battle, Zhao Xiaoxi actually felt more than he wanted to kill the incoming cavalry of Western Xia. This kind of large-scale cavalry battle can also make a lot of money on the capture of war horses.

The horses on which the cavalry rode now. More were brought from the Uighurs to Chengdu through Dali horse dealers. Secondly, there is also a dart game under Zhao Xiaoxi, which was collected by the cavalry who robbed and killed the nomads.

If all the money was spent on buying from the bordering Fanbang, not to mention that the quality of the war horses could not be guaranteed, the cost alone would be enough for the imperial court to bear. Not to mention, I also want to breed excellent war horses that belong to the Song Dynasty!

Under Zhao Xiaoxi's order, Yang Jinbao, who was the most anxious, rushed down the hill with a horse, and the others immediately followed. When the distance between the two sides was about 200 paces, Yang Jinbao had already drawn his arrow and shot the first arrow.

The Western Xia scouts who were also ready for archery. felt that the young cavalry who was rushing to the front of the other party was a little arrogant. The best archery distance in cycling is about 100 paces. If the opponent shoots an arrow from such a distance, can he really shoot someone?

When he was laughing at each other in his heart, it was indeed a group of ignorant young cavalrymen. The cavalry who rushed to the front felt that the long arrows fired by the other party were already flying towards him.

Although the arrow did not hit him, the opponent shot the arrow from so far away. will be able to shoot arrows at him. It really made these Xixia detectives who laughed at each other in their hearts couldn't help but be a little shocked in their hearts.

It's a pity. Just when they thought that the young cavalry in the lead was too arrogant and conceited to shoot the first arrow so far. The cavalryman, who had dodged an arrow earlier, saw a long arrow coming again.

This time he was not so lucky, he was directly pierced through the chest by an arrow and fell off the warhorse, rolled a few times and then never came to a sound again. At this time, the Western Xia cavalry, who was still riding, had iron arrows in their hands. Still didn't out.

The death of a leading cavalryman was only the beginning, and just when he was angry at the death of this cavalryman, the Western Xia scout who had been following the dead cavalry before. As soon as he turned around, he felt a darkness in front of him, and he fell under the horse and there was no movement.

Look at this arrow as fast as an arrow attack. The Western Xia officer in the scout cavalry quickly said: "Be careful, the opponent's archery skills are very powerful, enter one hundred and fifty steps and start shooting." ”

The Western Xia officer who gave this order during the run, as soon as the words fell, Zhao Xiaoxi and his party had already shot out the long arrows in their hands. As for Zhao Xiaoxi, who was riding at the rear, he already had two combat exploits in hand at this moment.

As Yang Jinbao, who rushed to the front, he knew that the previous Western Xia cavalry did not die under his arrows, but the masterpiece of the commander. Undeterred, he quickly aimed his arrow and shot his second arrow.

At the same time as he shot this long arrow, the rest of Cao Wenhu and the others who followed him also shot their first arrow. This small-scale rain of arrows struck, and the Western Xia scouts also felt it.

This group of young cavalrymen dressed in border army uniforms seemed to be different from the border cavalry they knew, and this archery skill alone was no worse than theirs. As they hurried to escape, several more fell under their horses.

It wasn't until they were within range of their sure shots that they also shot the first arrow in their hands. But when they shot this arrow, the second wave of arrows arrived at the same time.

As elite cavalrymen, they know very well that in the middle of riding. The archery speed and distance of an archer can directly determine the life and death of a confrontation. But the opponent's arrow is farther away than them, and the rate of fire is also amazing.

Seeing that a few more detectives around him were hit by arrows and fell off their horses, their first wave of attacks surprisingly missed. The war horses of both sides had also entered a distance of 100 paces after just a few rounds of arrow rain.

At this time, the side with the largest number of people naturally has an advantage. Faced with the number of people who were almost one-to-one before, they lost more than half of them before they could meet at the moment. Faced with another wave of arrows, these scouts finally realized the danger.

It's a pity that it's almost impossible to escape now. The other party rode more than 20 times, and they had already formed a fan when they were running, surrounding them. It is almost impossible to break through the robbery of these people.

The only way to do this is to speed up and rush through the opponent's encirclement and get out of the battlefield as soon as possible. Otherwise, the fate that awaits them is only that they will be completely annihilated by the other party. This is a fact that the scouts who came with the intention of earning meritorious service could not accept it.

Just when the two sides could already see each other's faces clearly, the Western Xia scout had already replaced the bow and arrow in his hand with a scimitar. Roaring fast horses rushed towards them, but to their cries filled with fear, the cavalry who had also withdrawn their bows and arrows.

But they set up a crossbow and aimed it at them, wielding scimitars. This kind of cavalry that can launch a close-range crossbow kill again without getting close will undoubtedly make these scouts more and more frightened, what kind of border cavalry is the other party!

Could it be that they have only been around for less than a year, and the cavalry of the border army of the Song Dynasty is already so well-equipped? Almost everyone has a bow and crossbow, which can completely torture and kill their cavalry who only rely on scimitars at close range!

Just as they were horrified that the other party was well-equipped, this kind of crossbow arrow, which was faster and more difficult to defend against, had already been fired. The few scouts who survived finally fell under this round of crossbow arrows.

The only surviving Western Xia scout, just when he thought he was going to die this time, he heard the other party's team rushing towards him. But a young voice said, "Surround him!" ”

Looking at these Song Dynasty cavalry who surrounded themselves, and looking at the dead comrades behind them, this surrounded Western Xia scout. As if he didn't want to live, he rushed towards the youngest prince in the encirclement.

Seeing the other party brandishing a scimitar rushing towards him, the prince was not surprised and said: "Fangou, is it really easy to bully as a young master?" ”

As he spoke, he took out the iron gun placed beside him, and greeted the other party, and the rest of Yang Jinbao and the others. didn't intervene in the past, but just turned the encirclement around again, and surrounded the two people who were fighting again.

Just when this scout felt that this young cavalry seemed to be more tricky than he imagined, Wang Zishu suddenly slammed his spear and said, "Get out of here!" ”

The Western Xia scout, who was shot in the abdomen by a spear, suddenly fell off his horse with Wang Zishu's words, and did not get up from the ground. The white light of the spear was already pressed against his throat, so that he did not dare to move at all.

Seeing that the only cavalry on the other side was subdued, Zhao Xiaoxi quickly said: "Zhao Da, take a few people to gather up the war horses, these war horses are all good horses." Don't let it go easily!

Wenhu, you take the two brothers and examine the corpses of these dogs. Take away all the useful things, dig a pit and bury the corpse! Remember, whoever reaps the spoils of war, but don't get them everywhere. Did you hear me clearly? ”

In order to teach the Tangut people a profound lesson, Zhao Xiaoxi gave the cavalry the principle of evaluating their military exploits, which was to calculate according to the number of heads. This kind of somewhat cruel head-cutting is also a hobby of the Fanbang cavalry.

In the past, during the Great War, many cavalrymen had countless heads of Song Dynasty cavalry tied to them. Sometimes seeing these, the Fanbang cavalry with hideous heads, many soldiers of the Song Dynasty will be afraid from the bottom of their hearts.

So this time, Zhao Xiaoxi will use his own way to treat his body and let them feel it. When their heads are cut off, how do they feel as people of the same race?

Zhao Xiaoxi, who is unable to adopt the Huairou policy for the time being, must let this cavalry army that will become a conquest in the Quartet in the future, and build a frightened beheading army.

Let these Fanbang people know that not only their nomadic cavalry know about beheading, but also their cavalry of the Song Dynasty also know about beheading. If he had the opportunity, Zhao Xiaoxi even thought about putting a few Beijing temples for those people in Fanbang.

Let them know. The consequence of easily stepping into the Song Realm was a pain they couldn't bear. It's just that they are scared, and then the benevolent side of the Song Dynasty will be shown later, and these Fanbang soldiers and civilians will know how to cherish them. (To be continued......)
