In the middle of the night in the cold winter, on the official road near Liulibao in Fengzhou, the Western Xia army and the large camp of the Song army were facing each other for more than ten miles. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info/。 qb5。 c0m

The anger in the marshal tent in the center of the camp of the Western Xia army is very depressed, and the heavy losses in the battle during the day made the Western Xia suffer a big loss at the same time, but also made many Western Xia soldiers begin to fear the trench positions of the Song army, and the Western Xia cavalry is not afraid of death, but today the lives of nearly two thousand Western Xia soldiers are thrown on the minefield of the Song army's position, and the Western Xia army, which paid such a big price, did not even touch a single soldier of the Song army, and the feeling of nesting filled the hearts of every Western Xia general, from the emperor Yuan Hao to the smallest Wu Chang.

The big tent is full of generals of the Western Xia, Yeli Renrong, Wei Ming Yurong, Zhang Yanshou, Yeli Wangrong, Yeli Yuqi, Cheng Kecheng, the lying person is rewarded, Ruding Duoduo, Ma Cheng Weiji, except for the Xixia general who guards Xingqing Mansion, almost all the well-known generals of Western Xia are here.

"My army is just being held back by a little lump of iron! Don't you Aiqing feel ashamed, the Wu Yong of the party members went there, advanced 200 meters in two hours, lost 2,000 men and horses, and didn't even see the face of the Song army, is it that I just sit here, watching you advance 100 meters every day, and we can see Yan'an City next year! Yuan Hao held a mine from the Song Army in his hand, clenched it tightly in his hand, and said loudly at the Chinese Wu.

"The emperor is angry! The generals spent all their time this afternoon trying to break up the minefields, which is why they delayed the advance. Hanchen Zhang Yanshou came out of the queue and said to Yuan Hao in a low voice.

"Trying to do anything? None of you have figured out a way to break the mine array, and it is not an inch of effort, do you know that my army is now on the official road of Fengzhou, surrounded by mountains and mountains. There is no other road, and in front of me is Zhao Lei's camp, behind me more than 100,000 forbidden troops in the three states are gathering, and Yang Shousu is leading 50,000 soldiers and horses to desperately delay time for the army of me, once the hundreds of thousands of Song troops behind me break through Yang Shousu's blockage, I will be completely sandwiched by the Song army on the official road, and you still have time to slowly find a way to break the mine array, do you want the Song army to trap all my 100,000 troops here! Yuan Hao yelled angrily.

"The emperor is angry, the Song army's mine array is really weird, and the power is amazing. Coupled with the cooperation of the Song army's rockets, the lethality is really terrifying, if you don't want to find a way to break the mine array, our army is afraid of heavy casualties! "The fierce general of the Western Xia Dynasty was in charge of this afternoon's attack, and he was worried about the mine array in the Song army's position, and immediately reported to Yuan Hao.

"Miserable! Over the years, I have fought in the south and the north, and there are millions of people who have followed me to fight and die, I don't know if this is a tragedy, if so, should I not take them to fight a big country. Leave a stable home for future generations! Hearing Ruding's words, Yuan Hao said coldly.

saw the murderous Yuan Hao. Ruding Duoduo immediately knelt down and said: "The last general is panicked, and the last general will immediately lead his troops to attack the Song army's position, and he will not return the army if he does not capture the Song army's position." ”

Seeing Ruding's frightened look, Yuan Hao's face relaxed slightly and said, "No need now, the general has the heart to be a striker tomorrow!" I don't want to say anything, no matter what, I hope to see the fall of the Song army's position tomorrow, you all retreat! ”

Watching the generals leave one after another, Yuan Hao said lonely to Yeli Renrong who stayed: "They still want to retain their strength now, Renrong." Do you say that they are no longer optimistic that I can defeat Zhao Lei, and have begun to have different hearts! ”

"The emperor is too careful, our army will win this battle, although Zhao Lei has strange soldiers to help. But who have I been afraid of the Great Xia cavalry! Yeli Renrong said with a pale face.

"Go back too! I'll think about it, but no matter what, Ruding Duoduo must not let him return to Xingqing Mansion. Yuan Hao said in a cold and low voice with a hideous face.

Nori Hitoei turned to leave. With helplessness and desolation in his back, he walked out of the big tent.

In the early morning of February 18 in the second year of Kangding, the forward of the Western Xia Army, Ruding Duoduo, led 13,000 soldiers and horses to rush to the position of the Song army, and the Western Xia army adopted the most tragic sacrifice tactics, with more than 100 cavalry as a team, and a team of cavalry attacked the position of the Song army in batches with a limit of 100 meters.

"Boom, boom!"

The sacrificial tactics were extremely effective, and a group of Western Xia cavalry eliminated most of the mines on the Song army's position at the cost of their lives, and the crazy Western Xia cavalry brandished their weapons, screaming hysterically and madly, with rockets on their heads and mines under their feet, charging towards the Song army's position step by step.

Ten meters, fifty meters, and one hundred meters, the Western Xia army finally advanced to a distance of three hundred meters at the cost of thirty-four hundred-man troops, but something even more terrifying happened.

………………………………

Unlike Yang Wenguang, who was born as a sinner, he preferred to command the battle, taking the lead, and after leading 5,000 Yan'an soldiers and horses to change the defense in the early morning, Di Qing has been commanding the soldiers and horses in the trenches of the position to resist the frantic attack of the Western Xia army.

When the Western Xia cavalry advanced to a distance of 300 meters from the mine array, Di Qing, who knew that the Western Xia army was starting to fight hard, immediately ordered the slow retreating rocket car to withdraw from the battlefield first, and then began to command the more than 500 crossbowmen in the army to attack the Western Xia cavalry that rushed into the range.

The strong crossbowmen of the Song army began to threaten the Western Xia

At a more painful price, the strong crossbowmen of the Song army were different from the rocket vehicles and were not very lethal to the scattered Western Xia cavalry formation, but the strong crossbowmen of the Song army with accurate strikes caused great losses to the Western Xia cavalry.

A strong crossbow was pulled away by the Song army, a crossbow arrow through the space accurately hit the scattered Xixia cavalry, round after round of strong crossbow arrows let the charging Xixia hundred-man team continue to fall off the horse, just fifty meters away, the Song army let the Xixia cavalry pay the price of a thousand people, compared to the lethality of the rocket car, the accuracy of the crossbow made the Xixia cavalry more afraid.

The Western Xia army once again paid the price of more than 3,000 people, and finally advanced to a distance of 200 meters, at this time the Song army under the command of Di Qing, the strong archers began to might, and the 1,000 strong archers in Yan'an Mansion took bows and arrows, and the more accurate strikes than the crossbow made the Western Xia army suffer heavier casualties.

After paying the price of a thousand men again, the Western Xia army finally advanced to a distance of 100 meters that could fight back, and when the Western Xia army raised the short bow in his hand to fight back. Arrows flew everywhere in the sky of the Song army's position, and the Song army's crossbowmen began to suffer casualties.

At this moment, in the direction of the Western Xia camp, a large number of Western Xia cavalry suddenly galloped out, rushed towards the Song army's position, and began the final charge.

"Lux prepares!" Di Qing saw that the Western Xia army began to move, and calmly gave an order to the five hundred wrestlers who were waiting in the trenches.

Since Zhao Lei took the Yongxing military road, he selected 3,000 strong men from the army, and practiced bomb throwing skills hard, after several months of training. These 3,000 wrestlers can already accurately hit any target within 100 paces.

The three thousand bomb throwers took five hundred when Han Qi attacked Xiazhou, the Yan'an Mansion left five hundred people, and the remaining two thousand were allocated to Di Qing, Yang Wenguang, Fan Quan and Zhao Ming, the four generals of Zhao Lei's lineage, five hundred each, and now it was finally time to test the power.

"Bomb dropping!"

With Di Qing's order, five hundred wrestlers in the trenches rose from the ground, mustered up all their strength to throw the iron bumps in their hands towards the crowd of Western Xia cavalry charges.

"Boom, boom!"

The loud resonance of mines and grenades, accompanied by the terrible screams of the Western Xia cavalry, the rain of blood, and the severed limbs and arms of the Western Xia cavalry.

Bows, crossbows, grenades and mines, four different weapons combined to create a terrifying power, suppressed the frantic charge of the Western Xia cavalry.

………………………………

"General! Crossbowmen, bowsmen, and crossbow arrows are already insufficient. There aren't many Lux grenades left. In the rain of arrows, the herald ran to Di Qing's side and said loudly.

"Retreat!" Di Qing ordered without the slightest hesitation.

With Di Qing's order. More than 3,000 Song troops on the first line of positions of the Great Song Dynasty withdrew from their positions in an orderly manner and withdrew to the rear along the safe passage in the minefield of the second position.

After the Western Xia cavalry occupied the first position of the Song army, they did not pursue the retreating Song army, because the second Song army position was only 500 meters away from the first battlefield.

………………………………

The Western Xia army finally stopped the charge, and the faint smell of blood began to drift around with the cold wind, and the Song army's position was just a thousand meters of land, and the corpses, stumps, and blood formed a cruel picture, which made people look away.

Zhao Lei holding a telescope. Watching Song Xia's confrontation from afar, he asked Su Xun and the others with pale faces with a blank face and a calm face: "It's over for the time being, what do you think?" ”

Su Xun looked at the cruel battlefield with a telescope, and his blood was churning. There was a feeling of wanting to vomit, and when he heard Zhao Lei's words, he hurriedly put down the telescope in his hand. calmed down, and said with a strange face: "The Great Song Dynasty will no longer have the disaster of the frontier, the power of mines, grenades and rockets is enough to deter Xia Liao and other countries, today's war, I'm afraid no one is willing to take the initiative to invade the Great Song Dynasty." ”

The fat Pombo very much agrees with Su Xun's opinion, and also understands the reason why Su Xun's face is strange, the battle of Song and Xia just now made everyone watching the battle extremely uncomfortable, in their opinion, this is no longer a battle, but a one-sided slaughter, the Western Xia army almost sent to the death to charge tragic and pitiful, tens of thousands of casualties but only in exchange for hundreds of casualties of the Song army, the record of one to one hundred has fully explained that the cavalry of the Western Xia can no longer bring a threat to the Song army, and since then the Great Song Dynasty frontier has nothing to do.

"This is no longer the war between Song and Xia, this is the wrestling between science and technology and barbarism, the era of gunpowder weapons, there is no longer a world of barbaric cavalry shooting, whether it is Xia or Liao, it can no longer threaten the Great Song Dynasty, mines, grenades, rockets, these three simplest gunpowder weapons, are enough to change the overall situation of the world." Zhao Lei looked at the battlefield filled with gunpowder with some sighs, and said with a muttered sadness.

"It is estimated that Yuan Hao is about to retire, how can he not see the current situation with a vicious eye, and he knows that there is no hope of victory, retreat may be the only choice." Ou Xifan said with a sharp affirmation at this time.

I hope Yuan Hao can recognize the opportunity and retreat, otherwise I don't care about blowing up all the cavalry of Western Xia into the sky with gunpowder! Looking at the camp of the Western Xia Army in the distance, Zhao Lei thought proudly.
