The cold wind swept the yellow sand and flew all over the sky, and the sky and the earth were dark, but in this piece of wind and sand, a cavalry was making a decisive charge, the front of which was hundreds of knights in heavy armor, and the special helmets only showed a pair of indifferent eyes, and the horses that stepped down were also heavily armored, making a thunderous sound when running, and at the same time the knights waved heavy iron bones in their hands, and the indomitable momentum seemed to be able to smash all the obstacles in front of them into pieces.

And after these hundreds of heavy cavalry, there are thousands of ordinary cavalry followed, this is also the most standard way of fighting heavy cavalry, generally by the front of the heavy cavalry to tear apart the opponent's formation, and then by the rear cavalry will expand the results, and then in one fell swoop the opponent's formation disrupted, and even directly cut the opponent into two sections, generally at this time, the battlefield has already decided the winner.

But today this heavy cavalry met the other party, only to see that the Song army on the road of their charge - excellent - excellent - small - say - more - new - most - fastest - www.uuxs.cc - road is also quickly ready to fight, with the general in the formation of an order, dozens of carts were picked up in front of the formation, and then the soldiers on the cart are familiar with removing the tarpaulin, revealing the ballista below, and then winding, loading, aiming, and finally the commander of the command ordered again, as a result, the soldiers behind the ballista immediately ignited, fired, Dozens of shells flew in circles towards the heavy cavalry.

"Boom Boom Boom~" With a series of explosions, the opposite side rushed to the cavalry and was blown up, especially the heavy cavalry of hundreds of people in front, which was the focus of this artillery bombardment, only two rounds of salvo fire, which had already caused hundreds of heavy casualties among the heavy cavalry, after all, the heavy cavalry was very heavy in its own weight, as long as the horse fell, it would almost break the bones of the knight on the horse, even if the clever riding skills could not be avoided.

After the third salvo of the ballistas, less than ten of the hundreds of heavy cavalry were left to charge normally. As for the ordinary cavalry behind them, there were few casualties, but the formation was also completely disrupted, and in this case, it was not conducive to the cavalry charge, but these people seemed to be crazy, just desperately fighting horses and charging.

"Array up to meet the enemy!" As the generals in the Song army once again issued orders. The ballistae in front immediately retreated, after all, the opponent's cavalry had already rushed in front of them, and it was no longer suitable to shoot with ballistas, and the next thing was to look at the appearance of the soldiers.

"Boom boom boom~" Seeing that those cavalry were about to engage with the Song army, they saw countless black balls thrown out of the Song army's formation again, followed by a dense explosion, this is the grenade thrown by the Song army in the front, although the power of the grenade cannot be compared with the cannonball, but it can kill and injure the cavalry's horses. As a result, another group of cavalry fell on the way to the charge, and it can be said that these two rounds of firearms alone have solved nearly one-third of the cavalry, especially the heavy cavalry in front of which is facing a greater threat to the infantry, and now there are less than ten scattered cavalry left, and they cannot exert the power of the heavy cavalry at all.

Finally, when those cavalry rushed through the dust and smoke from the grenades, the Song army in front had already erected tall and heavy shields, and at the same time, spears stretched out from the gaps in the shields. It looked like a wall with long thorns, and it was also the most traditional and effective formation of the Song army against cavalry.

This spear shield array that was originally used to deal with the Song army. The most effective way is to use heavy cavalry, because the spear cannot pierce the armor of the heavy cavalry, and the shield cannot stop the charge of the heavy cavalry.

However, it is a pity that the heavy cavalry of more than 100 people has already suffered most casualties. Only the heavy cavalry of less than ten people was charged, although they knew that they alone could not break through the formation of the Song army, but they still rushed forward without slowing down, and as a result, the spear broke for a while, and the heavy cavalry of less than ten people slammed into the shield. Although some of the heavy cavalry smashed open a hole and entered the Song army, but soon there were other shield players to fill the vacancy, and at the same time, the Great Song soldiers behind rushed up, entangled the heavy cavalry to death, as long as the heavy cavalry lost speed, it was almost a dead end.

Zhao Yan, who was riding on a horse and marching in the rear, observed the battle situation in front with a telescope, and when he saw the heavy cavalry of less than ten horses rushing into his own formation without hesitation, and being surrounded by soldiers, he couldn't help but sigh loudly: "The Xixia Iron Harrier has become a unique sound since then!" ”

"What the county king said is extremely true, but it is also their honor that this last iron harrier can be destroyed in the hands of the county king!" Huang Wude heard Zhao Yan's emotion, but he smiled and said at the moment, and by the way, he also slapped Zhao Yan's ass.

When Li Liangzuo escaped from Xingqing Mansion, he took the iron harrier with him, and was later ambushed by the Liao, but he lost a lot of troops, and was attacked by Yelu Chongyuan, and the direct guide zhì Iron Harrier was almost completely annihilated, and finally escaped only those heavy cavalry of less than 100 people.

The Iron Harrier belongs to the personal guard of the Western Xia Emperor, and almost everyone is a diehard loyalist of the Western Xia Emperor, so even if he knows that Li Liangzuo has fallen into the hands of the Great Song Dynasty, these escaped Iron Harriers did not give up hope, but were ready to plot to rescue Li Liangzuo, which also coincided with Zhang Wei's flying cavalry, making these people the most powerful force in Zhang Wei's hands.

"Huh, I hope that apart from the extermination of the cavalry led by these iron harriers, there will be no more remnants of the Western Xia system." Zhao Yan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief at this time and said, judging from the previous situation, the victory or defeat of this battle has been divided, when most of the iron harriers of hundreds of people have fallen, the remnants of Western Xia on the opposite side have already lost, but they are all die-hard people of Western Xia, and they would rather die than give up this last hope.

After Zhao Yan and they left the post station yesterday, there was nothing to do on the first day, but today the wind suddenly rose, and then the spies found the other party's team, Zhao Yan was still strange at first, after all, even Zhang Wei failed, how could these Xixia remnants not give up, and then Huang Wude went to ask Zhang Wei to know that these people were not very confident about Zhang Wei's rescue plan, so they would ambush here, in case the rescue plan failed, they would launch a decisive charge, even if they couldn't save Li Liangzuo, they would die here, it can be said that these cavalrymen have long been prepared for death.

"Although the actions of these cavalrymen to die are a bit stupid, they can be regarded as loyal and righteous people in Western Xia, and when they clean up the battlefield, they will also help them dig a pit and bury them by the way!" Zhao Yan said again with an impassive expression, although the number of cavalry rushing on the opposite side was not as small as his own side, but they were all a group of remnants of the defeated generals, and they did not even have a systematic command, such an army could not exert its due strength at all, and even the seed only needed to command the Song army to do a good job of defense, and then he could wait for the other party to come forward and die.

However, the decisive charge of the remnants of the Western Xia also had some effect, and the Song army's defense in some places was rushed out of a gap, although it was quickly blocked by the Song army in the rear, but the Western Xia cavalry that rushed in also caused some casualties to the Song army, but these local results could not change the overall situation, and the charging Western Xia cavalry had been killed and wounded more than half, and the morale had also dropped to the bottom, which made the remaining Western Xia cavalry fall into despair, but even so, there was still no one to escape.

This very tragic war for the Tangut lasted a whole day, and at dusk, the war ended with the annihilation of the entire army of the Tangut cavalry, for which the Song army also paid nearly 2,000 casualties, after all, they were facing the most formed cavalry in the Tangut, and it was a charge regardless of casualties, and it was enough to pay such a small number of casualties to exterminate this army, which was enough to show the strength of the soldiers under the Qiange, and then followed the two thousand Song troops in the rear to the battlefield to flank the Xixia cavalry, which also played a great role.

Originally, Zhao Yan planned to let people bury these Western Xia cavalry who died in battle, after all, their bravery was also very admirable, but soon he found that he was too idealistic, because after the end of the war, Chong Ge immediately sent a special team to the battlefield to cut off the heads of the Western Xia people, this is the Great Song Dynasty's way of counting the enemy's head, especially the head of the Western Xia soldiers is very valuable, they took these heads back to Xi'an, and they must be able to exchange for a lot of merit and reward.

In addition, what made Zhao Yan even more speechless was that the corpses of those enemies were just that, and the soldiers didn't even let go of those war horses, and the wounded or dead war horses were pulled back to the barracks to be washed and skinned, becoming the best celebration banquet for the soldiers, that night, the whole camp was filled with the fragrance of horse meat, but Zhao Yan thought of the scene of flesh and blood flying on the battlefield, especially some horses still had human stumps and internal organs hanging on their bodies, although they were later washed away, but they were still a little disgusting, which made him unable to eat these horse meat anyway, In the end, I simply ate some canned food, and it was right for dinner.

After resting near the battlefield for a night, Zhao Yan and the others set off again the next morning, this time without encountering any obstacles, and arrived in Xi'an Prefecture very smoothly, although Zhao Ji went to Xingqing Prefecture, but Xi'an Prefecture is still the military center of the Song army, and a large number of Song troops are stationed, among which Cai Ting, the marshal of Huanqing Mansion, was specially transferred here to take charge of the operation of the entire Xi'an Prefecture.

Cai Ting also received the news that Zhao Yan was escorting Li Liangzuo before, so he also came to the city gate early to greet him, but when he saw that the battle flag of the army led by Zhao Yan was broken, the armor of the soldiers was broken, most of the people were injured, and the size of the team was reduced by nearly half. I'm afraid he is also to blame. (To be continued......) R1292
