In 1o41 Yuan, Yang Wenguang, a handsome man in the 10th ~ year of February 20 of Kangding in the Great Song Dynasty, stood at the forefront of the avenue trench position in silver armor, and was commanding 5,000 soldiers to check their respective equipment.

The latest news has come from Sanzhou, Yuan Hao's army in Fuzhou retreated to Linzhou overnight on the 15th, and after converging with the Western Xia army in Linzhou, he hurried to Fengzhou on the evening of the 16th, and it is estimated that it will be repaired overnight, and it will definitely arrive at the Dadao camp on the 17th.
Zhao Lei, who got the news, in order to prevent Yuan Hao's night attack, sent Di Qing to lead 5,000 soldiers and horses of Yan'an Mansion last night to be on strict guard, and after a night of nothing, he sent Yang Wenguang to lead the soldiers and horses of Qingzhou this morning to replace Di Qing to guard the first trench position.
"Stone!" Seeing that the soldiers were constantly busy in the trenches, Yang Wenguang called the bow and crossbow captain and asked, "How is it?" Have the supplies been inventoried? ”
The stone's real name is Yan Shi, originally the hunter of Taihang Mountain, a hunt and the eunuch's children had a conflict, was framed to Gyeongju, Yan Shi is tall, as powerful as an ox, can open a three-stone hard bow, archery like a god, Zhao Lei was promoted together with Di Qing when he was training the new army in Gyeongju, but Yan Shi was too simple, and illiterate, and finally Zhao Lei was added to the official from the eight-grade bow and crossbow captain, and unified 1,500 crossbowmen in Gyeongzhou.
Yan Shi, who was tall and dressed in a step armor, looked as strong as a mountain, and ran to Yang Wenguang's side and said loudly: "Report to the general!" The materials have been counted clearly, each crossbowman has 100 bows and arrows, 500 Lux has 20 grenades per person, 100 rocket vehicles have also been put in place, 100,000 rockets have been distributed, and other soldiers and horses are moving support materials under the leadership of several captains, and our army is ready for battle. ”
"Good! Call them smart. Remember Lord Zhao's instructions, 500 steps to shoot a rocket car, 300 steps to shoot a strong crossbow, 200 steps to shoot a strong bow, and 100 steps to throw a grenade. Yang Wenguang told Yan Shi again.
"Understood! Checkmate! Yan Shi wrote it down and replied loudly.
"Good! Let's go down and prepare! After Yang Wenguang finished speaking, he turned his head and walked towards his temporary command post behind the trench.
………………………………
The temporary command post of the first position was on the mountain package in the north of the avenue, and the shed made of tree branches on the mountain bag was Yang Wenguang's command post.
Yang Wenguang waited from early morning to noon, and it was cold at any time, but the sun was shining, and Yang Wenguang, who was wearing a cotton coat, did not feel cold.
Just had lunch. Yang Wenguang, who returned to the command post, was about to take a nap, when the soldiers around him suddenly said loudly: "General! The Western Xia cavalry came. ”
"It's finally here." Hearing the words of the pro-soldier, Yang Wenguang got up and took the telescope in the hand of the pro-soldier and looked towards the northeast.
Ten miles away, tens of thousands of Western Xia cavalry lined up with Chen soldiers, roaring towards the trench position.
"Herald! All ready to fight! Yang Wenguang, who saw the soldiers and horses of Western Xia through the telescope, calmly said loudly to the herald beside him.
The distance of ten miles was only a matter of ten minutes for the charging Western Xia cavalry, when Yang Wenguang's order was conveyed and all the Song troops on the position were ready for battle. The Western Xia cavalry had already approached within five hundred meters of the position.
"Rocket car, let's go!" Yan Shi, who was solely responsible for long-range strikes, shouted. The rocket car igniter, who is fully prepared, immediately ignites the first row of leads on the rocket car.
"Boom, boom!"
The rocket car has not yet begun to threaten, the galloping and charging Xixia cavalry has stepped into the minefield, many cavalry stepped on the buried mines, immediately detonated those underground life-killing bombs, the earth-shaking thunder accompanied by flying sand and rocks shook the sky, and at the same time flew into the sky There are also Western Xia cavalry and war horses with broken limbs, and the hot blood suddenly drifted into the air, turning the front of the entire minefield into a red world.
The horses of the Western Xia cavalry had not yet been attacked by mines, whether it was the shrapnel that flew everywhere or the earth-shattering sound of the mines. All of them made the war horse tremble, and suddenly stopped the pace of the charge.
How could it be so easy for the cavalry to stop the charge, although the Western Xia war horses at the front of the minefield stopped charging, but the Western Xia cavalry behind was still galloping. In the blink of an eye, it crashed into the cavalry in front, and the Western Xia cavalry at the front of the minefield suddenly turned on their backs, and there was chaos but no advance.
That's when it happened. Behind the trenches of the Song army, the first round of 10 rocket vehicles and 10 rockets had already flown into the sky, with the smell of cyan smoke and gunsmoke, crossing a successful arc and falling headlong from the sky.
"Ahh
The terrible screams continued to sound at the front of the minefield, first the explosion of the strange mine, and then the sneak attack of the sky rocket, the continuous blow not only caused many casualties to the Western Xia cavalry, but also the strange attack method of the mine made the Western Xia cavalry even more frightened.
"Dang!"
The sound of the retreating voice of the Western Xia representative sounded, and all the undead Western Xia cavalry retreated with the wounded with a faster degree on their faces.
"This, so soon to escape." Yang Wenguang, who saw the power of the dense minefield for the first time, was a little unprepared, and when he saw the Western Xia cavalry retreating quickly, he muttered to himself in shock.
"Quick, check how many corpses were left behind by the Xixia cavalry?" After Yang Wenguang finished speaking, he immediately gave several orders to those who had binoculars around him
Said.
After a long time, several heralds muttered for a while, and one of them said respectfully to Yang Wenguang: "General Qiyu! There are about 1,560 corpses of Western Xia cavalry on the front of the minefield, and the Western Xia cavalry only stepped into the minefield less than 50 meters. ”
Replenishing mines is definitely a new term in the Song army, and it is a despicable method created by Zhao Lei to bully the ignorant Tangut people, that is, to lay mines in front of the Tangut people in broad daylight, and Zhao Lei expects that those Tangut people who don't even understand what gunpowder is, let alone understand the cause of the explosion of the mine.
"It's only fifty meters, no need, wait for the next wave of attacks from the Western Xia cavalry! Hopefully, they'll use crowd tactics to capture our first line of defense, so we can retreat to the next line, I hate it, it's too far from the big camp and it's too cold at night. Yang Wenguang lazily looked up at the sky and whispered with some disgust.
"General! The Tanguts attacked again, but it was not a crowd tactic, they began to use the sheep sea tactic. The herald with the binoculars suddenly exclaimed.
Hearing the strange words of the herald, Yang Wenguang picked up the binoculars and looked forward, and now hundreds of Xixia cavalry were rushing towards the minefield with a group of sheep.
The Tangut people are smart enough! I actually thought of using sheep to open the way to thunder, I thought they would use rolling wood and cobblestone! Open the way with sheep, it seems that you can add dinner tonight. Yang Wenguang thought of it in his heart.
"You go and let the strong men in the logistics prepare, and after the Xixia people retreat for a while, go to the minefield to collect those sheep corpses, and add dinner tonight!" Yang Wenguang salivated and said to a herald beside him.
"General Yang is really heroic, and he has the style of the ancients when he talks and laughs and uses soldiers!" After twisting his fat body and walking into the command post, Pomber said to Yang Wenguang with a small compliment.
"Why is Mr. Pang here?" Seeing the obese Pombai, Yang Wenguang asked suspiciously.
"Your Excellency isn't worried about the defense line here, so let me take a look." Pombo looked in the direction of the Western Xia Army and said casually.
"Boom!" The Tangut people drove thousands of sheep into the minefield, and with the explosion of the mines, dozens of poor old sheep were suddenly torn apart, and the earth was once again covered with blood.
"Baaa As if sensing the danger of the minefield, the sheep screamed and fled in all directions, refusing to take a step forward even as the whip of the Tanguts fell on them.
Seeing that the sheep were reluctant to advance, the helpless Western Xia cavalry had no choice but to drive the sheep back to the army again, while the strong men of the Song army, who were responsible for transporting supplies, stepped on the safety path in the minefield and collected a piece of mutton and carried it back to the Song army's position.
"You can add dinner tonight, I don't know what tricks the Xixia people can play?" Yang Wenguang watched Song Jun Zhuangding successfully carry back the piles of mutton, and said to Pang Bai with a smile.
"Today, the Western Xia people will not attack again, they will definitely try their best to level the minefield, General Yang is still ready to let people make up for the mine! However, once the donkey skills of the Western Xia people are exhausted, they will attack wildly, and General Yang must grasp the opportunity to retreat when the time comes! Pombo took the binoculars and looked at the cautious Western Xia army in the distance, and said to Yang Wenguang with a smile.
"Boom, boom!"
Just when Yang Wenguang was about to answer, there was also a earth-shattering roar from the direction of Liulibao.
"Fan Quan's side has also opened, does the Western Xia Army want to attack from both sides on the first day? Why is Yuan Hao so breathless? Pomber lowered his head in confusion and muttered to himself.
"Haha! The huge man is not a general in the army, of course he will not understand the intentions of the Western Xia army, if it is me who leads the Western Xia army, he will also rush to attack the camp, just look at the clothes on the Western Xia army and our army. Yang Wenguang smiled heartily and said loudly.
Pomber picked up the telescope and looked carefully, sure enough, the clothes on the Western Xia army were thin, although they were wrapped in animal skin clothes, they were still a little shivering in the cold weather, and the Song army was covered in cotton clothes, not afraid of the cold, seeing this, Pang Bai immediately understood why the Western Xia army was eager to attack.
At this time, the Western Xia army once again tentatively attacked, and thousands of Western Xia troops rolled thick logs towards the minefield.
However, the Western Xia army was disappointed again, and Zhao Lei, who had been prepared, specially instructed the place where the mines were planted should be in a low-lying place or around the mines in the search for soil, so that dozens of logs of the Western Xia army almost did not play any role, and many of the Xixia soldiers who pushed the logs stepped on the mines by mistake and died tragically in the minefield.
Although a lot of minefield mines were detonated, the slings could not completely cover the minefield after all, and the minefield was too large, and the advance of the Western Xia army was very slow, and the missed mines killed dozens of Xixia soldiers again.
The slow-advancing Western Xia army was attacked by the Song army's rockets, although the rockets were inaccurate, but the rockets with long range, fast shooting, and wide coverage, made the Western Xia army suffer greatly, although the casualties were not many, but it greatly delayed the degree of the Western Xia army's advance, and at sunset ten minutes, in the face of Zhao Lei's carefully planned trench position, the Western Xia army only advanced one hundred meters, which made the Western Xia generals worried.
