12-74 Ambush on all sides

Although there was only one person, it was enough to arouse the great attention of the Western Xia army, they all mounted their horses and formed a team, wound their bows, loaded their firearms with bullets, beat war drums, blew horns, and the heralds ran around, and the well-trained tens of thousands of troops were ready to defend in a short time, and thousands of strong horsemen were ready to outflank and attack the enemy at any time.

Although there is only one person, it is enough to arouse the hope of the captives, they have heard too many legendary stories about the Red Shirts, although many of the people present are Liu Ziguang's opponents, when Liu Ziguang was in exile overseas, they had toasted to celebrate, when Yuan Chengzhi killed the Red Shirts in Hebei, they applauded, but when the real danger came, they still trusted the Red Shirts and relied on Liu Ziguang.

Anu's troops have 20,000 elite cowardly Xue troops, and the myth of the invincibility of the cowardly Xue army has been broken by Liu Ziguang, but that is in the case of unequal weapons, and now the Western Xia soldiers have also used firearms and cannons, and it is not certain who will kill the deer, these 20,000 elite soldiers say that they can sweep the world is a bit of a boast, but it is more than enough to sweep the Central Plains.

But Anu is still cautious, because she knows Liu Ziguang's style too well, Anu has studied all of Liu Ziguang's battle examples, and knows that this guy never plays cards according to common sense, you must know that it is now in a plain area suitable for cavalry charge, even Yuan Chonghuan does not dare to fight with the Western Xia cavalry, the enemy that appears at this time can only be described as demonic, except for Liu Ziguang himself who has this courage, there is really no second person in this world.

The Western Xia army was waiting for the battle, in fact, the generals did not think so, they were all veterans who had been on the battlefield for a long time, all the way from the sea of blood in the corpse mountains of Central Asia, what battles had not been seen, how could they be intimidated by a small standard-bearer, but the commander had an order, as warriors, they would never underestimate the enemy, the cavalry quickly sorted out the formation, and quietly waited for the order to attack.

The red-shirted soldier holding the banner stood on the hillside two miles to the west, although it was a plain area, but the small hills were still endless, but this could not hinder the cavalry from the onslaught, Anu was worthy of being a famous general of Western Xia, and after a short judgment, he gave the order to outflank from both flanks.

The Red Shirts have died in name only, whether it is the Red Shirts in the west or the Red Shirts in Hebei, they are almost dead, Liu Ziguang has long been exiled overseas, and the red-shirts who appeared at this time are likely to be impostors, pulling the banner as tiger skins, thinking that we Xixia people are afraid of this, bah, the Xixia soldiers are not scared! However, for the sake of prudence, he still sent two small groups of elite cavalry to outflank and attack, and first probed the opponent's path before talking.

Two hundred-man teams were sent out, the riders galloped away, and soon disappeared behind the hill without a trace, and waited for a long time without a living person to come out, Anu did not change his face, and continued to transfer troops, this time he sent a whole team of 10,000 people, led by the head of the 10,000 households, Tubu Lihua, the Western Xia army had a total of less than 20,000 people, and half of it was sent out at a time, it seems to be a little reckless, in fact, it is very reasonable, in this case, the most taboo to add oil to the army, either do not fight, or all on, The almost single-stick tactics used by Anu were similar to the sho in gambling, because she knew that no matter how strong the opponent was, it would be impossible to eat an entire team of cowardly Xue soldiers.

Since it is a team of 10,000 people, there is no need to adopt any outflanking tactics, the knights directly lined up in a wedge-shaped shock formation and rushed towards the hillside, the roar of thousands of horses' hooves hitting the ground was shocking, the dust raised covered the sky and the sun, even the sunset was blocked by color, the sharp knives and guns were dim, the iron tools were sonorous, the horses' hooves were rumbling, the prisoners of war saw the Mongol army attack collectively for the first time, this formation made them really understand what is called iron cavalry, in front of such an invincible army, can the redshirts still face it calmly?

No one knew the answer, including Marshal Anu, who seemed to be extremely calm on the surface.

At the moment when the Western Xia army rushed to the top of the mountain, the red-shirted army with the battle flag turned his horse and left, and then the black pressure of the Western Xia cavalry occupied the hillside, and continued to pursue without pause, the tide-like cavalry overflowed the hillside, and there was no sound of fire shooting, and there was no sound of cold weapons fighting, the enemy was afraid that the situation was not good and retreated, and a smile gradually appeared on Anu's face, I said, it is impossible for the Han people to organize a decent army in this place.

Tubu Lihua rushed to the front with a knife, the general is the tradition of the Mongolians, the Mongolians respect the brave man, the head of the ten thousand households Tubu Lihua is the bravest head wolf on the grassland, the war horse gallops on the land of the Central Plains, here is not as rich and flat as the grassland at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains, but it can also make the horse run, surrounded by loyal brothers, everyone's saddle is inserted with the most advanced fire gun of the Han people, the cowardly Xue army is equipped with a thunderbolt, it is simply a golden combination, no one in this world is an opponent at all.

The Han man with the battle flag was running wildly in front, Tachibana Tubu stopped his men's attempts to shoot him, he wanted to capture this man alive, peel off his belly to see how bold he was, he dared to play tricks in front of the Mongols, the enemy was in front, Tachibana Tubu roared wildly, and took the lead.

The terrain after crossing the small hill was a little complicated, with the woods on the left and the large paddy fields on the right, neither of which were suitable for cavalry assaults, and the cavalry coming down from the mountain were like a stream of water converging into the mouth of a bottle, and the Tobu Tachibana, who rushed to the front, did not know it.

As the sky grew darker and darker, there was a forest in front of him, and the enemy soldier with the battle flag ran to the woods and suddenly stopped his horse, turned back and shouted: "Death to the Tartars!" ”

With this roar, countless black things flew out of the woods, and they were overwhelming the cavalry group.

It turned out that there was an ambush here, Tubu Lihua did not panic, he had long expected that the Han people would have this move, he didn't care what kind of thing he was fighting, the cowardly Xue army did not have a bad seed who was afraid of death, what is it called a war if the undead are fighting, all the Mongolian knights have the same idea, no matter what the Han people fight, as long as they rush to them quickly enough, the victory is their own.

The fastest one hundred and ten Mongolian soldiers dodged the blow, and the knights who were crowded into a pile behind were not so lucky, the black thing fell into the crowd and exploded, and the earth-shattering loud noise destroyed everyone's eardrums, this thing was louder than a cannon, countless people and horses were thrown into the air by the air waves, and fell down heavily, bleeding to death through seven holes, and those who were lucky enough not to be blown up were all small stars in front of them, and their brains were buzzing, and some people were still sane and lay on the ground according to the methods taught by the officers to dodge shells, Others fell to the ground on instinct, trying to escape the horrific bombardment.

But they were wrong, this is not a cannonball that explodes at a certain angle, but a ** bag shot in an oil barrel, all relying on air waves to kill and injure the enemy, if you lie on the ground, it is equivalent to completely and completely absorbing the shock wave from the ground, ** The power of the bag is not bad at all, these guys died worse than those who were standing, all the internal organs were broken, and there was nothing to see on the surface, except for the seven orifice bleeding.

However, there were too many Mongol soldiers, and only a thousand men were killed in one blow, and the rest of the knights took advantage of the gap between the enemy's reloading and quickly evacuated to the left and right.

They were wrong again, when the paddy field was full of cavalry, a burning projectile shot into the "paddy field", and suddenly the flames soared into the sky, and the raging tongue of fire engulfed the cavalry in an instant.

The cavalry who rushed into the woods did not get any sweetness, and there were pits, mines and thistles everywhere, and it was impossible to move an inch, and when they filled a bloody path with the corpses of men and horses, the fire attack also came, and the weather was dry, and the woods were full of gunpowder jars, hay and fierce fire oil, which burned much longer than in the paddy fields, and very few of the Mongol soldiers who rushed in could retreat with their whole body.

But there were still hundreds of strong-willed and fortunate riders who rushed through the line of fire, following the horses of His Excellency the Captain and charging at the enemy's position, since the Immortal Heaven had blessed them, it was for them to avenge An'an, and their bodies were tense as bent bows, their eyes fixed on the enemy, their sabers raised above their heads, waiting to strike a thunderous blow to the enemy, and cut down their humble rank to comfort the heroic spirits.

But in the face of the heroic Mongolian athletes, the gang didn't have a look of fear at all, the distance was too close to shoot ** bag, they unhurriedly lifted the tarpaulin, revealing a never-before-seen weapon, although the name can not be said, but the metallic texture and the evil beauty of industrial products still make the Mongolian knights' scalp numb.

A tongue of fire flashed, and the Mongolian soldiers fell to the ground like leeks with men and horses, and the people behind them rushed forward one after another, but no matter how desperately they tried, they couldn't rush through the line of fire, and these ignorant nomadic soldiers naturally didn't know what a machine gun was. They are armed with outdated weapons, and even infantry of the twentieth century cannot overcome the defenses made up of such weapons.

The Mongolian army was in a large formation, and everyone heard the explosion behind the small hillside, saw the sky-high firelight, and smelled the smell of burnt human flesh, and everyone's face was blue and white, including His Royal Highness Anu, who was calm and composed.

10,000 people, that's a whole 10,000 elite cavalry, and the strongest fighters who are equipped with the most advanced firearms, have been systematically educated, and know how to dodge artillery bombardment and air raids, have never returned. No matter how hard Anu is, she is still a woman after all, she bites her lip and does not speak, the hand holding the reins is already white, how many enemies there are, what weapons are equipped, she doesn't know anything, it is getting late, the enemy is in the dark and I am in the light, the situation is getting more and more unfavorable.

With only half of the men in her hands, Anu did not dare to act rashly, so she ordered to camp on the spot, surround the city with horse-drawn carriages, and light a bonfire to prepare to meet the enemy.

"Marshal, look!" As soon as the soldier pointed ahead, Anu looked up and saw that the red-shirted knight had returned to the hillside, the sun had already set, but the skyrocketing fire behind the hillside still set off his clear silhouette, a man, a horse, and a battle flag.
