Hanwang Valley is not so much the decisive battle place chosen by Yun Zheng, but the terrain here is destined to be not very conducive to cavalry combat, and the dense hills are the biggest obstacle to the running of war horses.

Zhang Zhi is a fierce general on the battlefield, he just glanced at the battlefield, and he knew Yun Zheng's layout in his heart... Rejection of horses, traps, gun arrays, shield arrays, crossbow and arrow positions, there are a small number of cavalry on the left and right flanks, and in the back is the general's main formation, which is built on a mountain bag, and the entire battlefield can be observed, guarded by some armor soldiers, and it is not clear to see behind the mountain bag, needless to say that there are reserves behind it......

Where is the army of the Song army that can throw gunpowder? Zhang Zhi looked carefully at both sides and found nothing. It seems that Yun Zheng arranged those people in the reserve team, which makes sense......

Without any warning, the cavalry under Li Qing's command launched a charge......

The war mode in which the two armies lined up in battle formations and then addressed each other belonged to the Spring and Autumn Period, and the war pattern that began with the Warring States period had become a big joke, and the war no longer needed any reason or excuse from that time, as long as it was beneficial to oneself, any time and place was a good time to start fighting.

Zhang Zhi needs to find out Yun Zheng's combat strength, and the Poxi Army led by Li Qing is the best precursor, these people come from various tribes in Western Xia, there are party members, there are Han people, of course, they also have a common name called criminal prisoner!

The prisoner became a precursor. It is their duty to find their way to the army, as long as they survive. Their guilt will disappear and they will be warriors again, but this will require at least three heads.

More than 3,000 war horses rushed down from the gentle slope, their hooves sounded like thunder, and they were about to enter the front of the Song army, and they were about to enter the attack range of the Eight Bull Crossbows. But the Poxi army suddenly cracked in the middle. Some unpiloted horses dragging branches behind their butts passed through the middle and crashed headlong into the open space in front of the Song army.

The branches kicked up a cloud of dust, and the Poxi army covered his mouth and nose with wet handkerchiefs and followed closely behind the horses that were opening the way.

The dust is very thick, the visibility is very low, the soldiers can only stare closely at the horse butt of a person in front of them and rush forward unexpectedly, there is a neighing sound of the war horse falling to the ground in their ears, and the scream of the thick iron spear shot by the eight-bull crossbow swept by, Li Qing saw the knight next to him being taken away by the crossbow, but he was not afraid to ride the horse and gallop wildly. He believed that as long as he entered the ranks of the Song army, this army would collapse immediately, and he had seen a lot of such scenes.

Yun Zheng looked at the dust mist created by the Tangut people and said to Jiang Zhe: "This is the Tangut people, they may not be able to make such exquisite weapons. But this nation was born and grew up in the flames of war, relying on the skill of making the most of simple things, so that the battlefield will always be the domain of the wise and brave. ”

Jiang Zhe snorted, waved the flag in his hand, and the spearmen in the front row immediately squatted down. The soldiers behind the pikemen all lay down on the ground, raised the foot crossbow in their hands and shot one crossbow after another, they did not see the crossbow arrows fall there, put the crossbow strings on their feet, and continued to shoot, each shooting angle and the number of crossbow arrows fired were fixed, as long as five crossbow arrows were shot one shot at Zhuyuan, it would be completed.

The bolts flew high into the air, reaching the highest point of their strength before they began to land, their wheezing sound like the gasps of death, covering the entire area of smoke and dust.

The smoke and dust faded, and the hideous faces of the Tangut people covering their handkerchiefs gradually became clear, and it was only a few respites that the war horses exploring the road in front had been exhausted......

Li Qing kept counting in his mouth, and when he counted to ten, he immediately grabbed the reins of the war horse, and after all the Poxi troops rushed up from his side, he turned the horse's head and galloped wildly towards the road while the dust and fog had not yet dissipated.

The route he chose was very good, just between the spear array and the shield array, if there were more cavalry left, the Poxi army, which had a lot of combat experience, would choose to break through the pikemen, and the prisoners in front would open a bloody path for the prisoners behind.

If there are too few people who survive under the rain of arrows, they will choose to attack the shield array, and then kill a bloody path along both sides of the army formation, whether they can come back depends on the combat strength of the Song army, after all, the Poxi army is doing the work of testing the enemy's combat strength.

In order to take care of those newcomers who are on the battlefield for the first time, Yun Zheng deliberately placed the Jiazi Battalion on the front line, and there are not many troops in the Great Song Dynasty who can face the roar of the enemy cavalry without changing their faces, but the Jiazi Battalion is definitely the best among them.

"Don't panic! The Tangut people are almost dead, listen to my command, the spear is raised diagonally, the tail of the gun is on the ground, there is no need to do anything else, the Tangut people will hit the tip of the gun by themselves! Repeat, the spear is raised diagonally, and the tail of the spear is on the ground......" The team of the Song army was roaring hoarsely, and the first one raised his spear, repeating his words constantly, his voice made the hearts of those recruits feel a lot more stable, according to the usual training, the team was forming a hedgehog-like gun formation on the hillside.

There are still crossbow arrows hanging above their heads, and the dense rain of arrows rustles towards the front army of the Song army from a distance, and slowly stops ten zhang away from the front, this is a very clever means, if there is no thousands of trainings, the crossbow archers will not be able to control the distance so accurately, that is to say, the support of the crossbow archers to the front army will reach the top ten zhang of the front army camp in the near future.

Three or five war horses full of crossbow arrows were completely killed from the smoke and dust, and a few of the Pxi Army wolves who were about to die wailed like wolves, and with tears and knives bravely rushed towards the gun array.

"Resist, resist!" The team standing in the middle was keenly aware that there were few enemy troops, and even the usual white feather arrows of the Tangut people did not shoot a few, which means that the remaining few Tangut troops were here to send them to death.

The spears of the soldiers of the Jiazi battalion were longer than the spears held by all the pikemen in the Great Song army, and the team roared wildly, moved the tip of the spear slightly, and aimed its spear at the chest of the war horse, at this time, what needed to be done was not to kill the enemy, but to stop the cavalry from charging into battle.

The steel spear silently did not enter the chest of the war horse, the war horse was still advancing, the team had already released the spear, and used its feet to resist the spear that had been half cut into the soil, the tip of the spear pierced the war horse, and pierced out of the neck of the war horse and drilled into the lower abdomen of the cavalry, at this time the war horse has been raised high by the spear, and the front hooves of the war horse are weakly shaving, and the cavalry who is sitting on his body with his head hanging down has become an earthy yellow statue.

The dust dispersed, and the position in front of the Song army was covered with war horses and the corpses of the Poxi army, and some of the Poxi soldiers who were lucky enough not to die were lying on the battlefield and wailing loudly, and the barely able soldiers were desperate to use their hands and feet, wanting to escape back to the Western Xia army's main formation.

In a collision, two thousand Western Xia cavalry were killed under the strong crossbow, and the battlefield was like a wheat field about to be harvested, with dense crossbow arrows everywhere...... The Western Xia army that could rush to the front of the Song army was only a hundred horsemen.

The marquis at the forefront of the Song army roared, and the shield knife hand held the shield in one hand and slowly walked towards the battlefield with the other hand, using his own knife to mend the knife on the body of every Tangut person, regardless of whether he was still alive or not. As for cutting off the head, it has always been something that was done after the war.

Zhang Zhi coldly watched the shield swordsmen who came out of the Vietnamese army without saying a word, watched them hack down the wounded Western Xia army, watched them recover the crossbow arrows like harvesting rice, and finally watched them return to the Song army's main formation.

Li Qing licked his lips, he felt that his mouth was very dry, the crossbow arrows of the Song army were too powerful, no matter how you look at the crossbow, the foot crossbow is very similar to the god arm crossbow of the Western Xia people, especially when winding, you need to use your foot to step on the foot in front of the crossbow to borrow strength, the god arm crossbow is also in the Western Xia army, Li Qing's horse has a body hanging on the buttocks, no matter what, the Song army's crossbow arrows are too much.

Zhang Zhi laughed, rode a horse and slowly walked to his military formation, pointed at the Song army in the distance with a horsewhip and said to several of his subordinates: "See? This is the current Song army, this is the Song army that was about to collapse at the touch of a button in the past, and in a short period of time it has grown to the point where it dares to fight with our Daxia soldiers in the field. They came out of the tortoiseshell-like walled city, since they have come out, then there is no need to go back, just now two thousand Western Xia warriors have been killed in battle, have you ever felt timid?

Moruha, do you dare to charge again? ”

The black-faced Moruha nodded expressionlessly, and then returned to his own formation, said a few words to his subordinates, changed into a larger round shield and led the team slowly forward, they are different from the Poxi army, the Poxi army only has leather armor, and no one has iron armor on them, but Moruha's subordinates are different, their whole body is shrouded in iron armor, even the war horse is covered with armor, and the two eyes on the horse's head are extremely fierce.

In previous battles, Moruha's subordinates rarely dispatched, but as long as they were dispatched, they would break the enemy, and his ironclad cavalry was only about 30,000 in the entire Western Xia, which was the first combat force under the Iron Harrier of Western Xia.

After the ironclad cavalry broke the formation, the light cavalry would then cover and kill, tearing the enemy's battle line apart with the fierce and unprecedentedly powerful force of the cavalry, and then began to divide and encircle, in this case, there was no second way to go except to destroy the enemy.

The charging distance of the ironclad cavalry needs to be very long, and the weight of the war horse is very high, only in this way can you save enough kinetic energy to break through the enemy's defensive line, Moruha, a hybrid of the party and the Hui people, can become the commander of the ironclad army, and his bloodthirsty character is inseparable, when the Western Xia army is vomiting for eating human flesh, he did not hide the order to grind the corpse into minced meat and mix it with gruel to eat, Moruha does not need him to like to roast and eat human flesh, especially the corpses of young women and young children, which is his favorite, According to his exact words, the meat was as fat as a lamb. )
