Liang E's idea was right, the Baotai army division soldiers and horses who stayed in the big camp. The cavalry army is less than half, the foot soldiers account for more than half, a charge and heavy losses, if the battle continues, the cavalry casualties, and the opposite Song army is almost all cavalry, hard fight will definitely not be pleased; If you forcibly break through at this time, return to China a hundred miles away, and fight against the four hooves of the cavalry with the two legs of a foot soldier, the outcome will be known without thinking; Only by relying on Dazhai to defend and waiting for reinforcements is the only safe strategy. But the ideal is good, the reality is cruel, if Liang Er is facing the traditional Song army, this plan is still feasible, but they are facing a new type of army armed with firearms, and the minions are sharp.

When the horn of the Xia army to collect the troops just sounded, a team of Xia army cavalry rushed up like moths to the fire, Zhao Lian immediately reacted, the Xia army is going to hide in the nest, with the village to defend, their team is mostly hussars, good at field warfare rather than fortification, if the Xia army drills into the camp, and then clean up is not only time-consuming and laborious. He immediately issued an order, ordering the dragon to meet the two battalions of hussars, and the tiger general and leopard to outflank from both wings, and strive to intercept the Xia army outside the camp.

In the face of the Xia army who looked at death as home, Gao Zhong was extremely excited, and immediately ordered the whole army to get on the horse, and lined up in a dense horizontal line as a unit, with a distance of twenty steps between the two teams, like waves rushing to the shore to the Xia army.

The distance between two arrows was only a moment for the charging cavalry, and the dragon general's artillery fired two rounds of artillery fire in the fastest time to stop the charging cavalry. Give your team time to regroup, then immediately withdraw from their positions and make way for the cavalry. The machine-gun teams attached to each battalion fired wildly on both flanks, firing the highest rate of fire. Inflict the greatest losses on the Xia army as much as possible, disrupt the enemy's charging formation, slow down their charging speed, reduce the impact force, and when the two armies were about to collide together, they were afraid of accidentally injuring themselves before they had no choice but to stop shooting.

The heavy artillery fire and continuous machine-gun fire caused great trouble to the cavalry after the Xia army, and the men who rushed in front rushed into the firing range and just pulled their bows. Often, before the arrow could be fired, it was swept to the ground. The Xia army was so angry that the bow couldn't shoot and the knife couldn't cut. He could only brave the rain of bullets, his body was tightly attached to the horse's back to fight and charge, wanting to rush to the front of the Song army as soon as possible, fight hand-to-hand, and rely on his superb riding skills and skillful sword skills to achieve victory. But it's just a minor trouble for them. The biggest trouble comes from his own mount.

Horses are very intelligent animals, and if they knew that there was danger ahead, they would not crash straight into them and die, even if they were highly trained. If there is a slot, they will cleverly drill in, or they will reduce their speed and run away at the last moment. The horses of the Xia army were not trained to resist explosions and fire in the same way as the horses of the loyal warriors. Of course, there is no resistance to this new thing, and it is inevitable to panic. Timid and cowardly, the Xia knights had to distract most of their energy to control the horses while dodging the attack, and under the double blow, they had no more energy to maintain their formation...

The cavalry charge of the Loyal Warriors was a dense formation based on strict military discipline and brutal training, but the formation was not airtight at the beginning, and the horses were separated by at least one horse's length before the charge, and then wider, so that they could interrupt the charge at any time without causing confusion, so that they could bypass obstacles on the road, and it was also conducive to shooting, and the vision was also better, so that they could maintain the formation well.

Their charge often began from a distance of 300 paces, a distance far beyond the effective range of the infantry bow and arrow at that time, and generally the starting point of the charge was not too far from the enemy, otherwise it would be a useless waste of horsepower. First fifty paces, then a hundred paces, then a jog, then galloping, and the last thirty paces slowed down and jogged, which was conducive to maintaining the formation and causing the greatest impact on the enemy's infantry formation. In the latter stages of the charge, sometimes the second squad will insert into the gap of the first squadron, causing the first squadron to form a tighter formation, the so-called 'knee to knee', about the width of a horse, multiplying the impact. …,

The combat effectiveness of the cavalry lies in the formation of formation, the cavalry that has lost the formation is the same as the modern lone tank, whether it is heavy cavalry or light cavalry, it must rely on the formation to exert combat effectiveness, and the cavalry troops without formation can be easily crushed by the cavalry troops in a neat formation.

When more than half of the cavalry and the loyal soldiers collided together, it was like an egg hitting a stone, the eggshell was shattered, the egg whites and egg yolks were splashed, and the loyal soldiers were immediately scattered into several roads, and three or five people chased a Xia army to chop, and now they have those skilled northwest aborigines and Tibetan soldiers to join, and the combat effectiveness is also rising in a straight line, and the Xia army can not take advantage of it in hand-to-hand combat.

Liang Er painfully watched the three thousand cavalry struggle painfully under the guns and sabers of the loyal army, destroyed, but there was no way at all, and the situation of the retreating foot soldiers was not good, the camp gate was blocked by fierce artillery fire, and the cavalry of the loyal army appeared on both wings, and the infantry without formation faced the charging cavalry like a tiger entering a wolf pack, unable to resist at all, and losing the cover of the cavalry was only to be hunted and killed.

"Young master, let's go quickly, the big camp can't hold it!" A general shouted as he grabbed the reins of his horse that was about to return to the army to rescue the former army.

"Let go, the camp is lost, how can we gain a foothold, how can we receive the prince?" Liang gave the general a whip and shouted.

"Young master, the old patriarch was killed, if the young master is injured again, we can't explain to the clansmen, now the Song army is attacking fiercely, even if it returns to the camp, I'm afraid it will be difficult to hold on to the capital army to help, it's better to break through as soon as possible!" The family general still held on to the reins of the horse and did not let go, pleading bitterly.

"Breakout?!" Liang smiled bitterly with tears, the general's words are to comfort himself, in other words, to escape, but the cavalry may be able to escape, what about the remaining more than 10,000 foot soldiers.

"General, the camp gate is blocked, the army cannot enter the camp, the enemy is attacking fiercely, please decide the general!" Just as Liang Er and his family were pulling, the situation on the battlefield changed again.

At this time, the gate of the camp has become a sea of fire, the camp tent is on fire, the people inside can't get out, the people outside can't get in, and the cavalry of the Song army on both wings took the opportunity to quickly turn into an outflanking formation to block the way back, and the Xia army, which could not return to the camp, had to stop, re-line to respond to the battle and turn to resist, and had basically completely lost the ability to maneuver. The cavalry of the Song army walked around the formation, kept shooting, and immediately launched an attack when they found a gap and slashed at close range.

If the formation of the Xia army was not scattered, the Song cavalry would scatter and turn to the side, and then return to their own side to assemble and re-charge, some Song cavalry because the horse speed was too fast, too late to turn, was stabbed by the Xia army's spear, and the Song cavalry who was stabbed by the spear under the impact of the horse, the horse corpse and the cavalry together crashed into the Xia infantry like a bowling ball, and caused a larger gap in the enemy's infantry formation. This can be done without a very fast horse, and the cantering speed of a horse is equivalent to a man's full sprint. If a charge fails, the cavalry will use multiple waves of charges, and this repeated attack is carried out continuously, because the ranks are far apart and do not need to be too tight, the formation of the loyal army can easily be regrouped after moving away from the enemy, and if it is mastered well, the enemy will not have a chance to regroup, and the flaws in the formation will become bigger and bigger.

Under this kind of uninterrupted attack, it was difficult for both the infantry phalanx and the cavalry phalanx to quickly return at this time, and it was necessary to maintain a tight formation, and the cavalry of the Song army had completed the encirclement at this time and began to attack the flank of the Xia army's formation. Attacking the enemy's flanks is more powerful than frontal assault, while cavalry can charge on all sides, creating a centripetal effect, and the enemy's infantry formation will be under great pressure.

Liang E watched his large array constantly being attacked by the Song army, as a general, he knew that although his army was also well-trained, but he couldn't help this kind of repeated impact, a few times I am afraid that the enemy's heart will be shaken, the formation is chaotic, once the Song army breaks through from one place or some soldiers in the formation escape, the cavalry can insert the loophole in the formation, and then disrupt its formation, and directly sweep their own infantry formation, which is the ......end of the annihilation of the whole army.

The leopard general is leading the army of Zhao Yan to attack the left flank of the Xia army according to the order, they have been blocked back by the Xia army with a strong bow and crossbow several times, and twenty or thirty sergeants have been killed and wounded, he immediately transferred up two 'wheeled carts' to attack again, the current carriage has been further modified and strengthened, the horses pulling the carriage are covered with heavy armor, and the car is also repaired with an iron plate covered bunker, which can not only prevent the shooting of bows and arrows, but also has a certain impact force.

The addition of two wheeled vehicles immediately changed the situation of the battle, and the ferocious firepower immediately tore a gap in the left flank of the Xia army, and the Wu Tao battalion that cooperated with the attack quickly attacked from the gap, and under the slashing and slashing of horses, the Xia army was no longer able to stop it, the left flank began to collapse, and the entire large array began to shake.

"General, the left flank is lost!"

"General, the Song army is close to the Chinese army!"

"General, the right flank is scattered!"

"General, the men and horses of the battalion were scattered and fled, and the battalion was lost!"

"General, the Song army broke through the Chinese army, please general..." Liang continued to transfer troops and send generals to plug the gap, but the defeat was like a mountain, and he was broken through everywhere, and there were only less than a thousand guards left around him, to the point where there were no soldiers to send, he slashed the panicked Chinese army guards with a knife, and he didn't listen to the words behind him and knew what the Tao was.

"Today, the heavens will destroy my Liang family, both father and son died in the Song Dynasty, and they are all loyal, and the generals will kill the enemy with me..."

"Liang Qian, you take the young master to break through to the north, and I will attract the attention of the Song army to the south with the handsome banner, remember to send the young master back to the capital, so that the saint understands today's defeat, and my Liang clan is wiped out, all because of Brother Cha's conceit and the rash advance of the enemy!" An old man stunned Liang with a palm, ordered his subordinates to say, took the handsome flag, and led a hundred people to rush south without hesitation. (To be continued......)
