As the sun set in the west, weary scouts waited for the return of a procession, and occasionally, bloody heads could be seen dangling from the necks of some horses, and the reports were becoming more and more detailed.

The Western Xia thief led the troops by a party person, surnamed Li, but not the royal family, but the royal surname, which means that this person is somewhat similar to some generals of Daqin, and it must be because of the great achievements of the ancestors to get this honor.

Of course, as far as the Western Xia thieves are concerned, it is not good to say, many of their relatives have also been given the surname Li, and the emperor or the minister of state can give anything when he is happy, which is contrary to the etiquette of the Han people.

Most of the spies of the Western Xia thieves are the Han army, in fact, it is similar to the Jin people, these years, although the party members still occupy important positions everywhere, but in the army, there are more and more Han people, not to mention a few decades ago, even more than 20 years ago, this kind of thing is extremely rare.

The Han people served in the army in Western Xia, most of them were servants and burdens, and the Han people wanted to fight on horseback, so dream of it, and the alien races who occupied a large part of the territory in the north had a natural vigilance against the Han people living on it.

And now, the scouts have all become Han Chinese, which shows that the corruption inside the party members is not much worse than that of the Jin people.

More and more reports reached Lu Xiang's ears, and Lu Xiang, who was sitting on the ground, became more and more determined, but he had to make a decision before the heralds behind him came up.

You must know that General Li, who was about to get moldy in Liangzhou, was no worse than anyone else, and there would be no accidents with the military orders that came over, and they must have been asked to wait here, and there would never be anything like that for him......

Two battalions had already come to his side at this time......

At this point, one of them looked up at the sky. Finally couldn't help it. "General. Still can't fight? Wait a little longer and it will be dark. ”

The other immediately answered, and laughed nonchalantly, "One thousand against twenty thousand, don't go in and you won't be able to get out, it's better to wait here for General Li to lead the troops up, and it's still safe...... If we don't make mistakes, we can't blame them. ”

"The Xixia thief has not yet gained a stable foothold, and it is time to go up and compete. Let these sons of bitches taste our awesomeness, and wait for General Li to come up? Hmph, at that time, the village was high and the pond was deep, where was there still a chance for the brothers to make meritorious contributions? ”

"What are you anxious about, look at these Xixia thieves, that's it, but people have a good location, and we rush forward, maybe we can get better, and there are more casualties. Can we get away with it? ”

"Afraid of death? At the beginning, we were on the grassland, more than 20,000 brothers. A charge swept away the 60,000 cavalry of the Nabarian Division, and now our four-legged ones can still be afraid of the two-legged ones, so don't you make people laugh at it? ”

"That's the commander leading the troops, the brothers naturally dare to die and move forward, otherwise wouldn't they have fallen into the name of the Tiger Martial Army?"

The two of them sang and harmonized next to each other, cooperating quite tacitly, while talking, their eyes never left Lu Xiang, but Lu Xiang was wearing a face armor, where could others see the look on his face?

The two of them were talking, and they couldn't help muttering in their hearts, his grandmother's, Lao Tzu will also get a mask to wear in the future, at least he can mix up a name that is invisible.

In fact, such a temptation can only show that the prestige of the main general is insufficient, don't look at the fact that the three of them are all from the national military superintendent, have the friendship of classmates, and they can be regarded as acquaintances, but the difference between the cavalry and the infantry army is like a chasm, separating them.

But then again, Lu Xiang is quite famous in the Tiger Martial Army, and he can still suppress them, and if someone else comes, there may be many ugly words waiting for him.

Until the two of them said something dry, they didn't know whether to curse the ghost weather in the northwest, or to complain that the classmate and official in front of him didn't have the slightest courage.

Lu Xiang, who had been silent, finally spoke, "Let's wait, well, the horse is almost off, the order will go down, the whole army will be in armor, and they will all cheer up, which one will weaken his leg for a while, dragging everyone down, I will cut off his head without the Xixia thief doing it." ”

Hearing this, the two battalions stood up with a loud voice, and at the same time clenched their fists and said loudly: "Obey the order." ”

The sun sets late in the northwest, and so on, and many times pass......

"Report, the Xixia thieves have begun to bury the pot and make rice......"

Lu Xiang stood up suddenly, stretched his muscles and bones, looked at the way he came, and showed a smile on his face, sure enough, the messenger had not yet come...... The credit for this battle is theirs.

Turning his head, some bloodshot eyes had slowly surfaced, he turned over and got on his horse, and said sharply: "Order, the whole army is on the horse, come with me." ”

The sound of armor clashing was loud, and the cavalry at this time had become extremely different, the chest and hips of the war horse had been wrapped in thin chain mail, and the knights on the horse, from head to toe, had also become silver.

This is the masterpiece of the national military supervision craftsman's department, the small iron rings, strung together to form an armor similar to soft armor, in terms of protection, slightly inferior to the thick plate armor, but the weight is not much lighter, after wearing, it does not affect the flexibility of the warrior......

Of course, the cost of these things is very high, but compared with plate armor, it is just more labor loss, and the real starting price is lower than that of plate armor.

Such armor will definitely not be worthy of the infantry army......

Speaking of which, this is a good thing for the generals of the Western Expeditionary Army, but in the words of General Zhao Shi, it was thrown to the cavalry of the forward departments.

In fact, wearing chain mail and lined with cotton clothing, this cavalry army has completed the transformation from light cavalry to heavy cavalry.

Such cavalry is not suitable for long-distance attacks, but it is a nightmare for the infantry......

The sound of horses' hooves was loud, and a column of knights, riding horses, followed behind the battle flag, and entered the south entrance of Wuma Gorge.

Wuma Gorge is not very long, but it is very wide, which is an important reason why it cannot be used as a key pass......

Soon, the cavalry followed the river that had dried up for an unknown number of years, and came to the middle of the canyon.

Lu Xiang, who was under the battle flag, slowly reined in his war horse, raised his arms, and the entire cavalry slowly stopped......

Lu Xiang looked up, an old tree can be faintly seen on the left high, there is a monument under it, he already knows from the scout's mouth, that is the five horse monument, but also the ancestral tomb of the Xixia Ma family, the Xixia court gave a text to remember the merits of the Ma family.

It's a pity that the wind is always blown away by the rain and wind, and now hundreds of years have passed, the Ma clan and many northwestern tribes in general have disappeared and no longer exist in the world, leaving only such a stone tablet here to be beaten by the wind and rain.

Lu Xiang smiled contemptuously, pulled out the war knife on his waist violently, took off the round shield on the side of the horse and threw it on the ground, and there were no inspiring words.

Just said: "Abandon the shield, scatter the parts, attack the formation, and rush out......"

The sound of the herald was everywhere, followed by the piercing sound of the steel knife out of the sheath, unlike the grassland Hu Cai, who would shout before the battle to enhance their courage and blood, the Qin army here, only strict military discipline, the knights finally sorted out their armor in silence, calmed the commotion of the war horses, and threw their shields on the ground, inadvertently, the murderous aura has been condensed, and everyone's breathing is slowly heavy.

With the forward finger of Lu Xiang's steel sword, the entire cavalry slowly surged.

The horses began to trot, gradually becoming a wild gallop, and in the gallop, the well-trained knights gradually opened up the distance between the front and the front, and used the battle flag as the arrow, forming an almost perfect cone.

At last, the sound of horses' hooves sounded like a drumbeat, shaking the earth, echoing in the canyon, like a muffled thunder, rumbling, on the dry river, the horses galloped, and the smoke and dust were everywhere.

The Tangut people did not set up the camp, and when they came here, the Tangut people were very tired from top to bottom, and no one wanted to move, and the return of the spies also reassured the generals.

Although the Qin people had already arrived at the south entrance, they had only arrived at more than a thousand horses, and they did not dare to come.

The Western Xia people are very relaxed, in fact, this kind of relaxation before the war is extremely rare, and it can also be seen that the Jingsai Military Division, which is gradually breaking away from the jurisdiction of the Left Wing Military Division, does have a little confidence.

It's just that in today's Western Xia Army, there is no longer a clear distinction between relaxation and slackness, even if Ah Xuan, the head of the Jingsai Military Division, is known as a famous general in Western Xia, it is difficult to hide the spirit of the army.

The reason why the Jingsai Military Division can be called the elite of Western Xia is not only because they have followed Li Yuankang to attack the Jin Kingdom, but also because they have made a lot of achievements in the war to suppress the bandits everywhere.

Now that the Qin army is far away, they still dare to go out of the city to drown, which is enough to show that the courage of the Jingsai military division, in fact, the situation is also very clear, the Qin army is more than 100,000 rushed to Weizhou, how can only one Wuma Gorge be defended?

It's just that he wants to take advantage of the exhaustion of the Qin army from afar, and wants to frustrate its sharp spirit, which is the common sense of the battle array, and there is no need to go into detail.

It's just that they are too relaxed, and the smell of wine and meat wafts through the camp, laughter and laughter, and occasionally a few women's screams can be heard.

Everyone is enjoying the last rare calm time, waiting for the start of the night carnival, and they can't be blamed for slacking off, because the Jingsai Military Division is blocking the way of the Qin army, and then there must be a series of bloody battles.

It's better to have fun at this time, who knows if you will have a chance to enjoy it later? You must know that the one who led the troops to attack was the most ferocious and brutal of the Qin generals.

And the camp was gradually jubilant, the bonfires were lit, and the earth seemed to tremble slightly as night was about to fall......

The soldiers still had smiles on their faces, and some began to look around suspiciously, but some veterans who had been baptized by the battle array had jumped up violently and looked in the direction of the gorge mouth in fear, and then someone shouted, "Qin people, it's Qin people......"
