Chapter 675: Sniping at Nanwa Ditch

  The battle on the other side of the valley has ended, and the casualties of the Western Xia army when they escaped from the valley were not large, but the grass poisoned by Shan Tinggui made them lose more than a thousand people, and the rest of the people were actually more or less poisoned, and their combat effectiveness was not as good as usual at all. More than 900 horsemen fled by the road, but were shot to death by more than 400 people by the 3,000 iron cavalry commanded by Yang Zhi behind, and then began to besiege and kill.

  As soon as Tuoba Shu, the chief general of the Western Xia army, saw such a scene, he immediately let the deputy general release the retreating fireworks, so as not to kill the thousand people who rushed over and died, Tuoba Shu relied on the speed of the horse, and Yang Zhi fought hard for more than 20 rounds, under the siege of the Song army, the scope of activity became less and less, and after there was no cavalry of the Western Xia army around him, he was finally cut off by Yang Zhi with a knife; Yang Zhi instructed Cai Qing, who ran up behind him: "Keep this set of armor and this horse for me." ”

  Even if Huangfu is not there, Chong Bin still knows these treasures, Tuoba Shu's horse is a Wusun Heavenly Horse, traveling thousands of miles a day, and the blue and white Monkey Armor on Tuobashu's body is even better, far better than the Monkey Armor on Yang Zhi's body. The person was killed by Yang Zhi, so naturally no one fought with Yang Zhi; Yeluyue killed a thousand-commander, and also directly peeled off the other party's caricature, and Yang Zhi gave the caramelage he was wearing to Zong Ying.

  However, the capture army was indeed strong, and there were no prisoners in this battle, not to mention that it also caused nearly 500 casualties in the Canglang battalion; fortunately, a large number of supplies and 2,700 war horses were obtained, Yang Zhi ordered a rest for two hours, and then all of them went out to reinforce Nanwagou, and there were 3,000 horses on the way to change horses, and all the roads that were able to travel were high-speed advances.

  Nanwagou has been in full swing, the Western Xia army has been fighting with the Song army all these years, knowing that the Song army's divine arm bow is unstoppable, but the divine arm bow has time to change arrows, which is a good opportunity for cavalry to assault;

  Wu'er Siqi has been on the battlefield for a long time, and immediately saw the weakness of the Song army, the javelinmen and pikemen are actually no different from the divine arm bow, but it is inconvenient to move, Wu'er Siqi attacked on the whole line when he charged for the second time, and the five thousand horsemen lined up, just to open the width of the Song army's defense;

  In addition to the men and horses killed by the explosion, the cavalry behind also ran away with the horses because they couldn't stop the momentum, and the horses were frightened, not to mention trampling on themselves, and let the god arm bow send out a second round of shooting, and when the five thousand horsemen withdrew from the battlefield, there were only more than one thousand people left. A knowledgeable general behind him came up to tell Wu'er Siqi that the Song army was using thunderbolts, but the power used by the Western Xia army was too great; Wu'er Siqi stared at Mu Wei, the commander who spoke, and asked, "Is there no countermeasure for this?"

  Mu Wei smiled bitterly and said: "The thunderbolt designed by Lord Cao is a big deal of a traumatic injury, and you can fight hard, but the thunderbolt of the Song army is too powerful, and it doesn't matter if you directly blow people up, the war horse will be frightened." If the general wants to continue the attack, it is the number of thunderbolts fought with the lives of the soldiers, unless the opponent runs out of thunderbolts, it will always be a situation of death, and we have lost 5,000 horsemen in two charges. ”

  Mu Wei was euphemistically reminding Wu'er Siqi that if another 5,000 people died, the confidence of the Western Xia army would be completely shaken; Wu'er Siqi sneered: "The other party is dealing with General Tuoba Shu by doing this, can I not care? Even if Tuoba Shu dies, we must first destroy the Song army in front of us, lest they will be together." ”

  Mu Wei was speechless, after the Western Xia army now learned that the Liao State was willing to cede those places in Datong Mansion, it was a little swollen from top to bottom, and he was dedicated to making meritorious contributions, but he didn't think that the Jin State and the Great Song Dynasty were now abusing the Khitans, and Yang Zhi was the one who destroyed Li Liangfu's army in one fell swoop, and it was not so easy to deal with. However, Wu'er Siqi is the boss, and naturally he is the last person to make the decision, and the Western Xia army dispatched nine thousand horsemen this time to launch the third attack.

  Wu'er Siqi was really bad, he found that the firearms of the Song army on the opposite side seemed to be inexhaustible, and after the thunderbolts were used up, they actually launched fifty iron carts, all of which were dry firewood, sulfur and other things, and directly ignited the front of the Western Xia army that was blocking the position of the Song army, and the five hundred infantry troops were not afraid of life and death, and only cared about setting fire. Wu'er Siqi didn't understand at first, and when he saw the rest of the Song army withdraw, the Western Xia soldiers fell in the smoke in the sky, and only then did they react that it was poisonous smoke, and when the order was given, it was too late, and the nine thousand cavalry only came back more than 3,500 horsemen, and all the wounded who stayed in front were killed by the Song army.

  The Western Xia army was completely chilled, and the way the Song army on the opposite side killed people one after another, which made people unguardable, and in less than three hours, more than 10,000 Western Xia cavalry died on the battlefield, and the losses on the opposite side did not exceed 2,000 people. The battle report under the city of Shuozhou came, the Song army had long been cowering in the city and did not come out, Li Yu missed the best four hours because he had no siege tools, and now he is using a makeshift ladder to attack the city.

  The scout came to report that the cavalry of the Song army of the brigade was rushing over from Hongtaoquan, Wu'er Siqi was hesitating, and the fireworks of the Song army floated in the sky, one after another, seven in a row; Mu Wei couldn't help but step forward again and said: "General Tuoba Shu's men and horses should be more auspicious and less auspicious, now our army has no fighting spirit, and the Song army is like a rainbow, so you can't fight hard." ”

  Wu'er Siqi's men and horses are not captured soldiers, more than half of them died, and the current Western Xia army does not even have the courage to charge again, and the Song army, which is about to appear on the battlefield, has just defeated Tuoba Shu, and it is when the state reaches its peak. This time, Wu'er Siqi obeyed, and learned that the 7,000 cavalry of the Song army had arrived in three ways, and Wu'er Siqi decisively ordered the withdrawal of the army; Yang Zhi pursued ten miles to collect troops, and the Song army counted the spoils of war at dawn, beheaded more than 11,000 enemies, and captured 2,000 war horses.

  Lu Zhishen asked with high morale: "When will you go to relieve the siege of Shuozhou?"

  Yang Zhi said with a smile: "Don't worry, Li Yu's 10,000 Western Xia cavalry has not been frustrated, let them fight under the city for a few more hours, Yue Fei, let all those who can ride horses change into cavalry armor and war horses, and after resting for three hours, we will all reinforce Shuozhou." ”

  Yue Fei nodded with a smile and said: "In addition to the Minfu and the infantry army, we can gather 12,000 horsemen, and we can fight a battle, with two against three, it's not that there is no chance." ”
