(I went out during the day, and I wrote in a hurry, and there were typos and sick sentences that I was troublesome to point out)

"What are you still doing stupidly? The artillerymen hurriedly reloaded the empty little Franc machine, and this time loaded all of them with shotguns.

The musketeers, too, hurry up and reload the empty muskets, and fire again the next time I reach sixty paces.

Let these Tangut people know what a pot is iron. ”

Lao Hei, who was holding an iron horn in his hand, shouted at the top of his voice, and the sound of shouting resounded in the car formation where the Chinese army was located, so that many soldiers of the New Army who looked confused reacted one after another.

However, compared to ten minutes ago, the emotions in this thing's voice don't know how much calmed down.

I can even hear the indescribable flavor of this product in the voice of this goods.

Before the start of the war, Ma Kuo, Da Yu, Wu Pawn and the others were also scattered to other stations to take command, although they did not shout with iron horns.

He also laughed and scolded his subordinates not to be in a daze, and quickly prepared to continue fighting.

Compared with before, his expression was also much more relaxed.

Why? It's not such a victory in the first battle, it's too important for their army with too many rookies.

Not to mention that many of the soldiers of the New Army, including Zhang Dabang, who actually went to the battlefield for the first time, won the battle so easily for what they thought would be a tragic battle.

So much so that after the battle, it was a little unresponsive for a while.

But admittedly, a very important point is:

After such a battle, the morale of these rookies immediately skyrocketed, and the fear of the Tangut cavalry was completely gone.

All that remains is to make contributions to these opponents in front of him and win a strong will to fight for himself.

Regarding such a point, just Lao Hei and they can be very sure from the eyes of the soldiers under them, who have the same light as wolf cubs.

Even the civilians who accompanied the army were a little eager to try their hand at the spears and knives that had been distributed to them for self-defense.

It can be said that under the First World War, the army's fear of the Tangut people was gone.

In this way, the soldiers in the car formation had a strong fighting spirit; The empty Franc cannon and musket were quickly reloaded.

Preparing for the next cavalry attack of the Tanguts.

But when they were ready to fight again, those Tanguts had stayed there since they had withdrawn a few miles away, and there was no more movement.

There was no attack, no retreat, only the siege of the entire army.

For a while, the two sides were separated by a distance of several miles and entered a strange state......

The reason why this is so is because Li Qianshun, the puppet emperor of Western Xia, and the civil and military officials who came to watch the battle in the position around him.

Ever since after watching such a brief battle, one by one sat motionless on horseback, falling into a long silence.

In the previous time, they had heard from the mouths of the Jin waiters how powerful the firearms of the Song people were, and they were somewhat mentally prepared.

But it was so powerful that it still greatly surprised them.

These people, without exception, are the most elite group of people in the entire Western Xia population of more than two million; Naturally, he could think of more things because of the situation that had been exposed in the short battle just now.

None of these exposed things were beneficial to them, giving them a terrible headache.

And without their new orders, the mercenaries composed of the Gaochang people, the Tubo people, and the Kereh people were naturally happy not to risk their lives to attack those deadly arrays.

The Western Xia cavalry under their command, although they did not lose anything just now.

But he was also frightened by such a scene, and before receiving a new order, he was also happy not to rush forward to die.

As for the side of the Third Army of the Great Song Dynasty, it was surrounded by so many opponent cavalry.

If you attack rashly, without the protection of the car array, won't you go to find death yourself?

Such a confrontation between the two sides lasted for almost ten minutes, and finally there were some changes.

It seems that in the braincase, after finally figuring out something.

Li Qianshun, the puppet emperor of Western Xia, said slowly in his mouth in a very emotional tone:

"The Great Song New Army was able to shock the world after the first battle in Zhuxian Town, and it really deserved its reputation; Nahu Yitong and his henchmen are indeed all talented.

With such powerful firearms, it no longer matters what kind of bow and horse proficiency it is, and the tactics of the battlefield will change in the future.

The Jurchen Wanyan Zongwang, Wanyan Zonghan, Wanyan Xiyin, Wanyan Lou Room, and many famous generals were defeated in the hands of such an opponent, and they were not wronged at all. ”

After hearing that His Majesty the Emperor actually gave such a high evaluation to the Song army in front of him.

A group of Western Xia civil and military officials who followed him immediately wanted to open their mouths to persuade them, but when they spoke, they realized that what they wanted to say was so weak.

No way! The army of the Song people in front of them, such an unfamiliar way of firearms warfare, made them suffer too much impact.

You must know that they have not been able to defeat the new Qin City guarded by the Zhe family these days, and the firearm of the Song people called 'grenade' has played a very key role.

Don't look at the small one, the head is not big, and after falling, you can put down five or six siege warriors.

According to the information of the spies in the city, this kind of 'grenade' was sent from Kaifeng City more than a month ago, and there is no reason why these new Song troops do not have it, only more in number.

These people are all old people in the battle formation, and when they think about it, the cavalry under their command will only approach the Song people's car formation after braving dense bullets and paying a huge price.

As a result, in the middle of the formation, a dense number of grenades were thrown.

The scene of the flying small pieces of iron, piercing the men and horses of the knights under his command with fatal wounds, is very chilling.

Fortunately, Li Qianshun is really worthy of being recognized as the most outstanding one among the ten emperors in the original Western Xia history.

Seeing the civil and military officials under his command, after all of them looked extremely solemn, I don't know what these people are thinking.

Immediately, he opened his mouth to these people:

"It's just a small defeat in the first battle, and some Gaochang people, Tubo people and Kereh people died, so you don't need to be so depressed.

It is true that the firearms of the Song people of a certain view are indeed powerful, but they are not invincible, they are nothing more powerful than the Huanghua crossbow of the Western Army.

However, like the Yellow Birch Crossbow, each reload after shooting takes at least a dozen counts.

In the same way, those small cannons are similar to weapons like the Eight Ox Crossbows, but they are also limited in number.

As long as they are willing to suffer casualties of the army, or press those Gaochang people and others to rush in front and block several waves of bullets, the cavalry can still rush into their car formation.

Once they enter the melee battle, they lose the benefits of the military formation, and you don't know what kind of level the Song people are. ”

After hearing such a sentence, all the civil and military officials suddenly looked relieved.

After thinking about it for a while, the situation under the field battle between the new army of the Song people in front of them and their old rival, the Western Army, was actually essentially the same.

They were mainly infantry troops, and after forming a formation, they relied on long-range weapons to resist their cavalry onslaught.

As long as they could withstand the casualties, once they broke through the formation, with their understanding of the Song people, they would immediately collapse into a mess.

They rode their horses and could easily kill them or capture them in the back.

The specific difference is nothing more than breaking through such a car formation, which is more difficult than the large formation of the Western Army, and more warriors have to die.

But now in the land of Linzhou, they don't have much else, but the number of troops is amazing.

No matter what, he is not afraid of such a Song army in front of him.

In such a situation, a strong man in his thirties, while gently kicking the war horse under his crotch, shouted a sentence in his mouth:

"Your Majesty, as long as you give me 5,000 cavalry of our army, escort 5,000 Gaochang and Kereh people to charge forward, and I promise to take the iron harriers under my command and crush these chariots in a battle.

If not, I, Brother Richard, would like to bring someone to see me. ”

This man, who calls himself Brother Richard, is also a member of the royal family of Western Xia, because he is brave and strategic, and can shoot a hard bow of twenty, he is very valued by Li Qianshun.

handed over the 'Iron Harrier', which was considered the Guard, to this Richard brother.

And the 'Iron Harrier' is actually a heavy cavalry similar to the Jurchen 'Iron Floating Tu' to put it bluntly.

It is composed of the sons and daughters of the noble chiefs and cronies of the party, riding a good horse, emphasizing armor, stabbing and not penetrating, and twisting the horse with a hook and rope, although he does not fall to the ground when he dies.

The difference is that the Jin people have 5,000 people.

However, the national strength of the Tangut people was limited, and the 'Iron Harriers' only had ten teams, each team only had three hundred people, and the total number of troops was only three thousand.

Hearing such a request, Li Qianshun's face immediately became overjoyed.

However, the answer in his mouth was a little cautious: "Brother Cha, you are worthy of being a thousand-mile horse of my party's family, and I am very pleased to have such a heart."

However, this matter is not urgent, and I want other armies to continue to harass these Song people.

When they arrive outside the city of Xinqin, when the people are sleepy and the horses are tired, you will take the 'Iron Harrier' to defeat this Song army in a battle.

At that time, the fold in the city can be seen, and there is no other choice than opening the door and surrendering. ”

After speaking of this, Li Qianshun, who had decided the next battle strategy, began to return to Xinqin City with a group of people and horses around him.

Because after thinking of the Song people's partial division in front of him, he was no longer afraid, and all the civil and military officials in Western Xia were relaxed.

It's just that they didn't notice the hidden worries in the eyes of their own emperors.

The reason why Li Qianshun is like this is because this most outstanding emperor in the history of Western Xia thought of such a point:

No matter how strong the Song army in front of him is, it is just a partial division; A Nahu unification is only a few months later, and it is a partial division that has been formed.

Similar to this kind of troops, the Great Song Dynasty, and more participated in the Northern Expedition Dajin.

With the manpower and material resources of the Great Song Dynasty, if you want to form more such a new army, you don't know how difficult it is; At most, after a year, one can be pulled out, or even more.

And among the soldiers he can fight with, which one of them doesn't take at least ten years to grow up?

Under such consumption, the Song people can defeat once, twice, or even ten times, as long as they win once, their Western Xia will be the day of annihilation.

After thinking of this, how could His Majesty the Emperor be happy.

It's just that in order not to disturb the morale of the army, he didn't say it on the spot.

So no matter what, this time we must protect the Jin State, otherwise it will be a luxury hope for the Song people to recognize their ministers and seek peace in the future.

And if you want to do this, the premise is to destroy this Song people's partial division as soon as possible, and defeat the three prefectures of Feng, Fu and Lin in Hedong; Then go and completely block the back road of the Song people's Northern Expedition army.

"Buddha bless, I hope everything is in time; Wanyan Wu begged to buy these Jurchens, and under the attack of Hu Yitong, they could also hold on long enough. ”

On the way back to the city of Xinqin, the heart of the Western Xia emperor was silently raised......

******

In the following time, the Third Army, under the attack of the Jin cavalry, began to stop and go; Like Hu Biao and the others, they can only walk a distance of twenty or thirty miles in a day, or even less.

However, with the Northern Expedition led by Hu Biao and others, the situation is very different.

Outside the city, the army of the Western Xia people went back and forth, tossing such a large-scale movement, where can I hide the love in the city, as well as the eyes of the army and civilians.

After a little analysis, it can be concluded that this is a reinforcement sent by Hu Xianggong, and it is not far from the city.

Suddenly, under such good news, all of them were greatly boosted.

Even the able-bodied women of the city mobilized and carried the bricks and woods of the demolished houses to the city walls as rolling stones for defense.

In the following time, the soldiers and civilians in the city who worked together to defend relied on the 100,000 grenades specially sent by Hu Biao.

In fact, the Western Xia people frantically attacked day and night, guarding a not very majestic new Qin city as immobile as a mountain.

And when the Third Army led by Lao Hei and others continued to advance towards Xinqin City, because they couldn't go far in a day.

It is estimated that it will take at least three or four days to reach the city of Xinqin.

So let's readjust our gaze back to the direction of Yanjing, because the Northern Expedition of the Great Song Dynasty, and the Jin people are almost the army under the strength of the country, and it is about to start here......

Time: 2nd year of Maude, on the morning of February 25.

Location: Near the Bali Bridge east of Yanjing, on a huge area with a radius of tens or hundreds of square kilometers.

It seems that the two sides have enough tacit understanding, and at seven o'clock in the morning, in the Northern Expedition of the Great Song Dynasty, a total of hundreds of trumpeters blew the rallying cry on their mouths.

At the same time, in the camp of the Jin people, there were also seemingly countless horns being sounded.

It's just that at such a time, the sound of heaven and earth is far louder than these trumpets and horns, and it seems to be the footsteps and hooves of the horses produced when the armies of both sides set out in unison.

Because in the sound of these trumpets, the two sides that had set up camp with a distance of about eleven or twelve miles from each other were all out at this moment.

I began to prepare for today's decisive battle.

To be more specific, the Jin side relied on the power of the home field and pulled the army to the Bali Bridge as early as the 23rd.

After counting the Changsheng troops who were hastily withdrawn from Yanshan, the Jin people had a huge strength of 630,000, including 290,000 cavalry and 340,000 infantry troops.

It is true that there are many war horses in the Jin Kingdom, but under the failure of successive battles, it is now a little unsupplied, resulting in more infantry.

Don't look at the huge scale of the above gold people, but Wanyan Wu Qimai and others clearly know one thing:

In this battle, they can really trust the personnel who can fight to the death; It is also the only Jurchen clan, after mobilizing all the men who can ride war horses, the army of more than 110,000 people.

In addition, there are seventy or eighty thousand because of the entanglement of interests, so it can be regarded as a hardcore army of Northland Han people, Xi people, and Liao people.

All in all, 200,000 people is a little worse.

The rest of the troops, such as the Changsheng Army, which were mainly infantry troops of the Han people in the north; Although they have adopted a way of controlling their families, it is okay to fight with the wind.

Once there is a large casualty, anything will happen.

There were as many as 630,000 troops on the above Jin side, but they set up a huge camp, and they were even about to extend to the foot of the city wall of Yanjing City.

Hu Biao and the other troops of the Northern Expedition of the Great Song Dynasty arrived at this battlefield one after another yesterday morning.

And after all the way of attrition, now after arriving at the main battlefield of Yanjing, the army that originally swore to the Northern Expedition in Kaifeng City has only about 150,000 people left.

Among them, there were six infantry divisions from the 1st to the 6th, two artillery divisions from the 1st and 2nd, and separate rocket artillery divisions.

With a total of 90,000 combat units, the combat effectiveness of such a combat unit has basically not been affected.

Originally, the first and second cavalry divisions, because of the huge attrition along the way, now there are only 7,000 people left.

After adding the strength of 30,000 Yuejia troops, the above 127,000 people are the absolute main force of this operation.

There are still about 30,000 left, troops sent out to participate in the war from all over the Great Song Dynasty, and about 20,000 people.

Frankly speaking, even if these people are all over the place, and there are some things wrong with the elite soldiers and horses, Hu Biao still doesn't have much expectation for them.

That's right! In the north of the main battlefield of Bali Bridge, twenty miles away.

There is also a 52,000-strong Yanshan Divine Army, which is also hurriedly out of the camp and forming a formation.

They arrived at this position in a hurry yesterday evening, and basically all of them were composed of Yishui's old-fashioned cold-armed infantry.

But even so, under the command of war elephants and sharp edges.

Relying on the power of that kind of feudal superstition, it is thought that it can also involve part of the Jin people's troops.

The other three national teachers, in fact, still have more than 100,000 believers, and they originally planned to participate in this battle under their call, but because of the rush of time, there was no way to rush over.

Fortunately, after they were organized by the fans of Dongchang, they blocked almost all the roads leading to the outside of the Guan.

If Wanyan Wu Qimai and other Jurchen enemy chieftains were defeated, the idea of fleeing back to the gate in a hurry became impossible......

There are books that reflect that this battle has been fought for too long, so speed it up
