This is the picture scroll of iron and blood, this is the symphony of courage and death, the iron harrier of the Western Xia is worthy of being the pillar of the country of the Western Xia, facing death without fear, the front and the other are indomitable, and the sharpness of the soldiers is simply unstoppable; However, Yan Yunmo's sword army blocked this seemingly unstoppable torrent of steel, and the sword light was shattered everywhere, the cold blade, the cold eyes, made people feel that they were stronger warriors than the iron harrier, and the balance of war was gradually tilting towards Yan Yunjun's side. The steel is striking, the blood is flying, and the Modao Army is firmly advancing on the corpses of the enemy and the dripping blood!

Li Zongdao, the generalissimo of Western Xia, led the main force of the infantry army to rush to the halfway point, and saw that the iron harrier failed to defeat the enemy's large array as expected, but the situation was unfavorable, and he was shocked in his heart, and quickly ordered the army to stop attacking. Everyone may wonder why Li Zongdao didn't lead the army to rush up to help, but stopped? In fact, the reason is very simple, if the Iron Harrier can destroy the Yanyun army formation, then the infantry brigade can clear the remnants of the enemy with less autumn wind and less fallen leaves; On the contrary, as in the current situation, although the Iron Harrier Army broke through the Yanyun defensive front, it formed a stalemate with the enemy on the periphery and the situation was somewhat unfavorable. Therefore, Li Zongdao saw that the Iron Harrier was in a stalemate with the enemy, so he ordered the infantry to stop charging.

Li Yuantong, the general who led the 200,000 people's army on the flank, arrived at the attack position, but saw that the battle formation of the Yanyun army was still intact and there was no sign of chaos, and he felt that there was no chance to take advantage of it, so he did not order the people's army to attack the enemy formation. He understands very well the combat effectiveness of these people's troops, if the enemy army is chaotic, these people's troops rush up, of course, it can achieve the effect of destroying the withering and decaying, but if the opponent is not chaotic, if these poorly equipped, untrained, and only courageous people's army rush up, it is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg, and it is good if they cannot break through the opponent's defense, but if they are disrupted by the opponent's counterattack, it will be very bad.

Li Qingxia couldn't help but be shocked in her heart when she saw that her 10,000 iron harriers were actually killed by the opponent's 5,000 Mo sword army and kept retreating, and her brows furrowed. She could see that her iron harriers had done their best, they attacked desperately, fearless in the face of heavy casualties, one after another, their performance was worthy of the title of the pillar of Western Xia, but their opponents were too strong, they were simply beyond imagination, whether it was physique, equipment, or fighting spirit, they were obviously superior to the iron harriers, and the Mo Sword Army itself was a class of troops that restrained cavalry, so 10,000 brave Iron Harriers could not fight 5,000 Yanyun Mo Sword Army.

Li Qingxia felt that it was useless to fight like this except to waste the precious Iron Harrier, so she immediately ordered the herald to order the Iron Harrier and the light cavalry to retreat.

The sound of the horn representing the retreat sounded one after another, echoing over the battlefield. Iron Harrier, who was already killing the red-eyed in the fierce battle with the Modao Army, slowly disengaged from the Yanyun Army and retreated under the shouts of the general, and at the same time, the light cavalry on both wings also retreated. The noisy battlefield was quiet all of a sudden, and I saw that the corpses of the Yanyun army were piling up in front of the formation, the soldiers who were not dead were still squirming in the corpses, and the war horses that had lost their masters were still nostalgic for the corpses of their masters. A gust of wind blew, and the thick bloody breath made people breathless.

Li Dingkun, the general of the Iron Harrier, rode his horse and rushed to Li Qingxia, reined in his horse, bowed down with shame on his face and said: "Your Majesty, the last general is incompetent and has failed to break through the enemy's military formation!" Li Qingxia saw that one of the most famous generals of the Great Xia Kingdom, covered in blood and scarred, knew that he had done his best, and comforted: "The general doesn't have to blame himself, I have seen with my own eyes, you have done a good job!" You are worthy of being the pillars of my Great Xia! Li Qingxia comforted him like this, but it made him even more ashamed, and said excitedly: "Your Majesty, please give us another chance!" Even if the last general dies on the battlefield, he will also crush the Yanyun army array! ”

Li Qingxia nodded, "I believe that the Great General will definitely be able to do it!" But I don't want the precious Iron Harrier to suffer too many casualties! There will be countless wars to rely on you! Li Dingkun promised. Li Qingxia asked, "How about the casualties of the Iron Harrier Army?" ”

Li Dingkun said: "There were more than 2,000 casualties, and there were very few injuries, almost all of them were killed. ”

Li Qingxia couldn't help but feel a heartache, the casualties of two thousand didn't seem to be very large, but compared to the scale of the Iron Harrier that was only fifteen thousand, it was definitely a heavy loss.

Knock knock knock...... Yan Yun's war drums suddenly rang out, as if a giant had stepped into his footsteps. Li Qingxia and the others were shocked, and hurriedly looked into the distance, only to see the Yanyun army formation open, and five hundred knights in heavy armor appeared in front of the military formation. Li Qingxia frowned, and hurriedly said to the herald: "Yan Yunjun is going to fight back, tell the generalissimo to deal with it carefully!" The herald answered and ran towards the army in front. Just now, Li Zongdao led 100,000 main infantry to prepare to cooperate with the Iron Harrier to break through the Yanyun army formation, but because the Iron Harrier failed to do so, the 100,000 infantry stopped between the two sides, lined up on the spot, and prepared to wait for Li Qingxia's order before attacking, but he didn't expect the Yanyun army to launch a counterattack.

Yang Gui and the other five hundred war cavalry lined up in front of the military formation, staring at the Western Xia people in the distance with bloodthirsty eyes, and only waited for Yang Yanzhao to give an order before launching a charge. These five hundred cavalry, all wearing heavy armor, look almost no different from the Yanwang Iron Cavalry, but these cavalry are not the Yanwang Iron Cavalry, their predecessor was the Yang Family Army Volcano Army, now known as the Volcano Breaking Army, under the instruction of Yang Peng, they obtained the same equipment as the Yanwang Iron Cavalry. This army is not many in number, but it is definitely the elite of the elite, when the Yang family army was still the Song army, the Yang family army broke the Khitan army Goryeo, this elite is absolutely indispensable, every battle, Yang Gui will lead this elite to fall into battle first, disrupt the enemy formation, and then the Yang family army will sweep the past with the autumn wind to sweep the leaves and destroy the enemy army! The Yang family's army can win every battle, and this volcano army accounts for at least half of the credit!

Yang Yanzhao stared at the enemy formation, raised his right hand, and the war drums sounded loudly. Yang Gui, the five hundred warriors, immediately had an impulse in their hearts, and they couldn't help but shout in unison, like a tiger roaring, shocking people's hearts. Roaring three times in succession, the momentum of the five hundred warriors rose to the peak, while the Western Xia army couldn't help but feel as if there was some invisible pressure pressing on their hearts, and they couldn't breathe.

The drums of war are louder and faster! Five hundred warriors roared angrily, burst out of their hooves, and rushed towards the enemy's battle array like a tiger out of the box, with iron hooves rolling, smoke and dust, banner hunting, iron armor ringing!

Li Zongdao hurriedly shouted: "Prepare for battle!" "The shieldmen and pikemen of the Western Xia army lined up in a tight defensive line, the crossbowmen were ready to attack, everyone pursed their lips and stared at the enemy iron cavalry who was ferociously killing, the whole earth trembled under the iron hooves, and the ears were full of thunderous loud noises, which shook the eardrums and trembled the heart!

In a tense atmosphere, the five hundred foot troops entered the range of the Western Xia bow and crossbow. The Western Xia bows and crossbows fired arrows together, and with a loud roar, the arrows as dense as flying locusts flew into the sky, and the sky suddenly darkened. Immediately, the rain of arrows fell into the army, and the crackling sound became one, like the rain hitting the banana leaves, and the arrows hit the heavy iron armor and were bounced away, which was useless at all! The soldiers of the Western Xia Army were shocked when they saw this scene, and under Li Zongdao's order, they continued to fire arrows, and the dense rain of arrows did have a feeling of being breathless, but it was still useless! Seeing that the bow and crossbow were useless, the Western Xia army couldn't help but feel overwhelmed.

In the blink of an eye, the five hundred trampling troops rushed in front of them, and the Western Xia shield hand and spearman couldn't help but tense their muscles and nerves next to each other, ready to meet the fierce impact of the opponent! Boom, boom, ......boom, five hundred captives fiercely slammed into the defense line of the Xixia army, the shield and the soldier's body flew up, the spear was on the thick armor and could not be penetrated, but it was broken by the huge force, and the five hundred captives rushed through the defense line of the Xixia army and entered the Xixia army!

The iron hooves crashed into the crowd, rushing the enemy army to the ground, the hammer in Yang Gui's hand flew up and down, smashing the flesh and blood of the enemy soldiers, and the long knife and axe in the hands of the captives continued to harvest the enemy's life, like a tiger entering a flock! There was flying blood everywhere, and there were terrible screams everywhere, the soldiers of the Western Xia army were terrified in their hearts, and they retreated again and again, and the large array of 100,000 troops was actually impulsed by 500 horsemen!

At this moment, the general Fan Long led 10,000 infantry troops to rush up, join the battle group, and storm the Western Xia army, the Western Xia army felt more pressure, and was even more frightened, and the situation was precarious.

At the last moment, the Western Xia Iron Harrier appeared on the flank of the Yanyun army, preparing to attack the flank of the Yanyun army. Yang Gui had long been guarding against this move, and before the opponent Iron Harrier Army moved, the Mo Dao Army led by Yang Qi had already moved. The Iron Harrier failed to attack Yue Yun's flank, but collided with the Mo Sword Army, like a pair of enemies, and killed on the battlefield again.

Li Qingxia immediately sent a war cavalry to feint to attack Yang Yanzhao's Chinese army, and then ordered the main light cavalry to attack the back of the Modao army. However, her move was also seen through by Yang Yanzhao, and as soon as the main light cavalry went around the back of the Modao Army, it was blocked by the 30,000 Yanyun infantry army, and the two sides suddenly met and immediately began to scuffle.

Yang Gui led 500 troops to rush and kill, indomitable, killing people and horses in blood, killing corpses all over the field, the soldiers of the Western Xia army were terrified and kept retreating. Li Zongdao saw that the situation was critical, and all the heavy armored infantry of his commander went up to meet him, and the Western Xia soldiers saw the generalissimo go to the killing field in person, and their morale could not help but be greatly boosted, and they launched counterattacks under the supervision and leadership of the generals.

The Western Xia army gradually stabilized the situation, and the armies of the two sides fought a bloody battle, and this battlefield was like a huge grinding plate, grinding the soldiers on both sides into pieces! The screams and screams, and the sound of the impact of the blades and armor, the corpses accumulated, the blood flowed, and the armies on both sides were red-eyed, just desperately slashing and killing the opponent, like two crazy beasts, fighting each other with their lives!

In the direction of the flank and rear of the large formation of Yanyun's Chinese army, there was a sudden sound of rumbling footsteps, but it turned out that Li Yuantong led the 200,000 people's army to attack. Yang Yanzhao was waiting for them, and immediately ordered Wang Gui to lead a 30,000-foot army to launch a counter-charge. The Western Xia People's Army was originally very excited to charge forward, but suddenly saw a Yanyun army rushing towards them, and couldn't help but panic. In the blink of an eye, the two 'torrents' slammed together, and the Western Xia People's Army was numerous, and it wrapped Yan Yunjun in one fell swoop, as if an incomparably huge mouth swallowed Yan Yunjun at once. However, the Yanyun army was not afraid, they all rushed forward bravely, desperately rushed to kill, the spear pierced the enemy, the long knife cut down the enemy, and the Western Xia people's army was like a seedling harvested by a sickle! After fighting for a while, the Western Xia People's Army saw that the Yanyun Army was fierce and abnormal, and panic could not help but rise in their hearts, and the 200,000 People's Army was shaken and began to retreat inevitably.

Seeing this scene, Li Yuantong was very nervous, and ordered his own soldiers to kill those people who dared to escape, and at the same time ordered his personal soldiers to shout: "Those who advance will be added to the rank and knight, and those who retreat will sit with their families!" The people's army had been killed by Yan Yunjun and couldn't help but retreat, but by Li Yuantong's persecution, the fierce nature in the hearts of the people of the northwest was stimulated, and they began to fight back. The situation on the scene changed instantly, the 200,000 troops who had originally retreated turned forward, surrounded the 20,000 Yanyun army, and kept rushing to kill, the Yanyun army was naturally fearless, constantly counterattacking the enemy, the two armies came and went, killing the flesh and blood! There were too many Western Xia troops, and no matter how hard the Yanyun army rushed and killed, they couldn't defeat the enemy army; And the Yan Yun army is worthy of being the best soldiers in the world, although the Western Xia people's army is seven times as large as them, it just can't crush them!

At this time, almost all the fighting forces on both sides were put into battle, looking down from the sky, the whole land seemed to have become a bloody battlefield, and the armies of both sides gathered on several battlefields to fight, the dust was sweeping, the cold light was slow, the killing sound was like a tide, and the blood rain was flying! The armies of both sides fought fiercely, and countless people fell in pools of blood every moment. Suddenly, the Western Xia army launched a charge, and suddenly the Yanyun army swept by, and the armies of the two sides flickered and decided, killing the heavens and the earth and the grass and trees with sorrow. The generals rushed into battle one by one, the soldiers all rushed forward bravely, no one was afraid, no one was timid, and the soldiers on both sides who killed the red eyes had only one thought, that is, to kill the enemy, kill the enemy!!

At this moment, a sudden wind swept up the sky and swept the dust from the west. In the blink of an eye, the battlefield was dark, it was clear that it was daytime, but it was even darker than night. The armies of both sides were uneasy, and they couldn't help but disengage and slowly retreated. A fierce battle on a huge scale came to an abrupt end because of such a strong wind. The Western Xia army collected troops and returned to the city, while the Yanyun army collected troops and returned to the camp.

Li Qingxia and the others came out of the dim wind and sand and walked into the hall, and the guards in the hall hurriedly closed the door, and the whistling wind and sand were immediately isolated from the door. Inside the door, everyone only heard a strange roar outside, as if there were countless monsters roaring and shouting. Everyone couldn't help laughing when they saw that others were all grizzled.

Li Qingxia shook off the sand and soil on her body, walked to the top and sat down, and several generals stood below. A female guard offered tea and stepped aside. Li Qingxia picked up the tea bowl, took a sip of tea, put down the tea bowl, and showed a thoughtful look on her face.

The door suddenly opened, and a large gust of wind and sand poured in, blowing everyone's hair and captivating everyone's eyes. In the fog, I saw a person walking in quickly, and then the door was closed by the guards, the wind and sand disappeared, and everyone opened their eyes, and then it was clear that it was the generalissimo Li Zongdao who came in. Several generals saluted Li Zongdao and said, "Generalissimo! Li Zongdao nodded, and then saluted Li Qingxia, who was sitting at the top: "Your Majesty! ”

Li Qingxia asked, "How is the situation?" "The armies have retreated into the city, and the garrisons have been increased at all the gates and on the walls, in accordance with His Majesty's orders."

Li Qingxia nodded, and asked again: "What are the casualties of our army?" Li Zongdao said: "The specific statistics have not yet been calculated, but it is estimated that the casualties are about 40,000!" Li Qingxia's heart jumped, "So much? Li Zongdao nodded, "Your Majesty, don't worry, the casualties of the Yanyun Army are not few!" ”

Li Qingxia lowered her head and was silent for a moment, then raised her head and glanced at Li Zongdao, "Generalissimo, I don't know if you noticed a situation today?" Li Zongdao asked, "Your Majesty is saying that Yan Yun's cavalry has never appeared in this matter?" ”

Li Qingxia stood up, walked to the bottom of the hall, looked at the door, and frowned: "Yesterday, Yan Yun's 20,000 battle horses were obviously there, but when they fought today, they were nowhere to be found!" Where exactly did they go? Turning to look at Li Zongdao, "I originally thought that Yang Yanzhao would use these 20,000 war horses as a killer weapon and would appear at the most critical time, but from the beginning to the end of the war, those 20,000 war horses did not appear, and they seemed to have disappeared out of thin air!" ”

Li Zongdao said: "Your Majesty, maybe Yang Yanzhao planned to use it, but the sudden strong wind and sand disrupted his plan!" Li Qingxia nodded and said, "There is a possibility!" But there's another possibility! ”

Li Zongdao was stunned for a moment, frowned, and said, "Your Majesty means that the 20,000 war horsemen have already left and are no longer here?" Li Qingxia walked to the map, looked at the map, frowned, and said, "If the 20,000 war horsemen have already left, where will they go?" Li Zongdao stepped forward, and when he heard Li Qingxia's words, his face showed a look of thought. Li Qingxia's expression suddenly moved, and she said worriedly: "Will these 20,000 war cavalry go towards our Snow Mountain Army?" Li Zongdao was taken aback and said, "There is a possibility!" It's quite possible! Yang Yanzhao used his troops to deceive, maybe he would really use the infantry army to contain our army here, but he ordered 20,000 war cavalry to attack the Snow Mountain Army for a long time! When the other generals heard this, they couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. Li Dingkun, the general of the Iron Harrier, said urgently: "Since this is the case, we have to quickly divide our troops to reinforce it!" ”

Li Qingxia frowned and said: "If our speculation is correct, the 20,000 war cavalry should have left last night, even if the cavalry rushes to reinforcements, it will be too late!" The biggest problem at present is not that Li Cunxiao and his troops are not enough, but that they are defenseless! Then he said to the captain of the guard, Gao Feng: "Immediately send a fast horse to summon Li Cunxiao, asking him to be vigilant and carefully guard against the enemy's surprise attack!" Gao Feng answered, ran down, opened the gate, the wind and sand rushed in, he dodged out, and then closed the door.

Li Qingxia pondered for a moment and said to Li Zongdao: "An army must be sent to reinforce Tiemen Pass, just in case." Li Zongdao nodded thoughtfully, bowed and said, "Your Majesty is wise." It's just that in this way, our army will not be able to fight with the Yanyun army in the field! "The 400,000 army of Western Xia, compared to the 80,000 army of Yanyun, is indeed outnumbered, but according to the situation of today's battle, although the army of Western Xia is five times larger than the Yanyun army, it cannot take the slightest advantage.

Li Qingxia frowned and said: "The reason why our army went to war was to contain the Yan Yun army and prevent them from returning to Youzhou, now that the Yan Yun army has taken action, there is no need to go to war!" ......" She didn't say anything yet, for fear of affecting morale and shaking the morale of the army, he originally wanted to say: If one of them is not careful and is seized by Yan Yunjun, the consequences will be unimaginable.

After a pause, he pondered: "Maybe we should change our strategy, leave one to defend Xiping Mansion, and transfer the main force to the direction of Youzhou?" Li Zongdao said with some concern: "I'm afraid that if there is a mistake in the face of Yang Yanzhao here, it will be troublesome!" ”

Li Qingxia felt that what Li Zongdao said made sense, and nodded. I feel that the current situation is still favorable to my side, as long as Li Cunxiao captures Youzhou in time and is not succeeded by the opponent's cavalry, there is still a great hope of victory in this battle. Li Cunxiao, as the leading general of the younger generation, should not be raided by Yan Yunjun, right?

Although Li Qingxia thought so, she was not sure in her heart. It stands to reason that with Li Cunxiao's ability, he should not be raided by Yan Yunjun, but the battlefield is ever-changing, and many things are difficult to say! Three points of ability, seven points of luck, Li Qingxia only hopes that the heavens are still on their side of Daxia.

Yang Yanzhao sat in the big tent, the curtain had been lowered and locked, the wind swept the yellow sand and flew all over the sky outside, making a monster-like howl, the clear sky had already disappeared without a trace, the sky and the earth were vast, drowsy, as if the world had not been opened; The whole tent was firmly fixed to the ground on all sides, but the wind still penetrated through the cracks, blowing the flames of the oil lamps dancing and swaying, and shaking the light and darkness in the tent.

Yang Yanzhao stood in front of the map, his eyes fell on Youzhou, and his brows furrowed tightly.

The curtain was suddenly opened, and a large gust of wind and sand rushed in, blowing out the flames of the oil lamps at once. Yang Yanzhao looked towards the door and saw a figure quickly entering. Immediately the curtain was locked, and the suffocating wind and sand that filled the big tent disappeared at once. The pro-soldiers lit the oil lamp, and Yang Qi's face appeared in front of Yang Yanzhao's eyes, only to see Yang Qi clasping his fists and saying: "Sixth brother, the casualty figures have been counted, our army has suffered nearly 8,000 casualties, of which more than 6,000 have been killed!" ”

Yang Yanzhao snorted, his expression unmoved. Turning to the map, he asked, "You say, Youzhou is still not in our hands now?" ”

After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
