Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

The distance between each team is about fifty to one hundred steps.

The distance between the front and rear rows is [-] paces.

Including Yue Fei's use of Shenwu cavalry in the same way.

As for some literati who talk about wars on paper, they say that they dig trenches, sink horse pits, and barbed wire in the great battle, they are just sitting at home and talking nonsense.

In the general battle, before the cavalry is dispatched, a group of light cavalry will go to explore the way and make a shallow attack.

Whether it is Xixia cavalry or Jin Guo cavalry, it will be the same.

Although it was seen that the Song Army came from a distance before, just in case, the Xixia cavalry went over to test it first. After not confirming any traps such as horse pits, the Xixia cavalry on both wings advanced on a large scale.

There are [-] cavalry on the left and right flanks, and each cavalry is equipped with three horses.

This is Li Liangfu's cavalry at the bottom of the box.

The Xixia people are very thieves in war. They don't usually fight you head-on. They like to use cavalry and powerful "bubazi" to make surprise attacks.

A frontal and large-scale confrontation between the two armies like the Battle of Lanzhou at this time is definitely not what Li Liangfu wants.

Li Liangfu cursed: "Damn Song Dog! To deceive me, even the chief general was killed!"

Moreover, misfortunes never come singly. After being cheated, Atuhan was greedy for meritorious deeds, which made the pattern of this great battle very strange. The Xixia army was divided into three parts.

One part is under the city of Lanzhou, one part is in the hands of Li Liangfu, and the other part is in the hands of A Tuhan.

One with 1 horses, one with 2 horses, and one with more than 3 people.

What's more terrible is that there are more than 3 people in the city of Lanzhou, which is more than [-] miles away from here.

As long as he is not a commander with a brain, he will not make such a layout when facing a big battle.

It is extremely difficult for these three parts of the army to coordinate and cooperate with each other on the battlefield, unless there is an independent and powerful command in the Xixia army.

Obviously, the Xixia army does not have such a headquarters.

This is also the fundamental reason why Li Liangfu couldn't take care of so much and sent out the cavalry at the bottom of the box in one go.

Although they didn't have the terrifying impact momentum of the heavy cavalry, they still pierced towards the Song army's wings like steel forks.

Tian Zhong, the capital of the left-wing army of the Song Army, shouted loudly: "The crossbowmen are ready!"

The heavy infantry in the front row held shields, and sharp spears protruded densely.

They formed a solid line of defense.

The number of infantrymen on Xihe Road was limited, and they were assigned to the front of the flanks for defense, and rows of crossbowmen behind them.

The wind whistled past the ear, and the smell of mud mixed with horses rushed to the face.

The ground seemed to be shaking slightly.

The frenzy of Xixia cavalry in front is rapidly approaching.

When entering a distance of two miles, the Xixia cavalry horses began to pace. When entering a distance of one mile, the horses began to speed up. When entering a range of 300 meters, the horses became completely crazy and began to gallop forward at high speed.

Once the war horses started to go crazy, thousands of cavalry corps, like the water of the collapsed Yellow River, swept over with terrifying prestige overwhelmingly.

Those who have not experienced it positively will never be able to imagine how terrible the pressure on people's hearts was in the short period of time before the cavalry frenzy hit.

Everyone seems to have a boulder on their hearts.

Some Song Army soldiers already showed panic on their faces.

Before the officer gave the order, several soldiers began to fire their crossbows instinctively.

The rest of the soldiers followed suit.

In an instant, crossbow arrows all over the sky rose from the ground, pressing down on the Xixia cavalry in front.

But these crossbows are not god arm crossbows, they can't reach that far.

Many crossbow arrows fell to the ground and shot to nothing.

However, some of the crossbow arrows shot to the front few Xixia cavalry. The cavalry fell off the horse, broke their bones and died on the spot.

The rest of the cavalry saw that the Song army was defended by heavy cavalry in front and crossbows in the back, and began to deploy with high mobility, making arcs to outflank the two sides.

Chapter 367 The Abolished Xixia Army (Second Change)

The advantage of cavalry's high mobility on the battlefield is reflected.

The attack direction of the Xixia cavalry quickly shifted, some of them bypassed the infantry armor's defense, and hit the side of the Song army like a storm.

After getting closer, the Xixia cavalry began to shoot arrows.

But the left wing of the Song Army is a circular formation.

Theoretically speaking, the surrounding areas are well defended by heavy infantry, and there are no dead ends.

However, the Song Army is the active offensive side. When attacking, it is difficult to strictly maintain this circular formation. In addition, there is a lack of unified scheduling, and the cooperation between battalions is not enough.

The biggest shortcoming of the Xixia cavalry is their weak armor. Xixia's national strength is poor, and it is impossible to equip medium-sized armor like the kidnappers of the Jin Kingdom.

The hurricane Xixia cavalry kept falling off their horses under the dense crossbow arrows of the Song army, like pieces of floods that were being staged were collapsing.

After trying many times, he finally found the loophole, and began to rush towards the loophole crazily.

bang bang bang...

The horses and cavalry collided with the less tightly arranged infantry armored spear array, making the sound of metal collisions.

Immediately, screams and neighing of war horses followed one after another.

The Xixia cavalry tore through the weak spots and rushed in, carrying knives and iron bones, and began to frantically attack the crossbowmen of the Song army inside.

After the Song Army's left wing was torn apart, the formation quickly became difficult to maintain, and a bloody big hole was torn out.

The right wing was obviously much stronger than the left wing. The Xixia cavalry tried to attack many times, but failed to break through the defense as expected.

At this time, the fight between the vanguards of the two sides has become fierce, and the advantage of the Song army has begun to expand with the passage of time, and the front has moved forward rapidly.

Ah Tu rarely saw that the forward army was not the opponent of the Song army. He was planning to retreat, but he was overjoyed when he saw the main cavalry rushing over.

According to the current situation, once the Song Army's left wing is completely defeated, the Xixia cavalry's front will point to the Chinese army.

Even if it doesn't overwhelm the Chinese army, it can still make the Chinese army lose its complete formation and its combat effectiveness will be greatly weakened.

If this is Li Liangfu's main infantry catching up and joining the battle, the victory or defeat will be hard to say.

And Li Liangfu's main infantry was indeed advancing rapidly, spreading the attack line rapidly, overlooking it from a distance, like a huge eagle spreading its wings.

Li Liangfu shouted loudly: "Eliminate Song Dog in one fell swoop, whoever takes the head of Song Coach will be rewarded with a thousand gold!"

The soldiers suddenly felt like they had been beaten with chicken blood. Those strong and tough Xixia people roared and roared, with veins bursting out of their foreheads, like wild animals, carrying knives, hammers, and Bow and arrow, shouting, advance quickly.

A large piece of flat land was quickly occupied by the attacking Xixia army, and it began to roll forward like a torrent.

Just when Li Liangfu's main force was about to join the battlefield, Li Yanxian's elite also rushed over.

Li Yanxian's tribe has long been proven to be very strong in field battles, otherwise they would not have regained Xi'an Prefecture in one day.

Li Yanxian's department, which had just entered the battlefield, was like a huge curved sickle, sweeping towards the side and rear of Li Liangfu's main force.

Each of them carried a long knife and an axe, and as soon as they rushed in, they began to swing their weapons violently.

click...

The back of a Xixia soldier's head was split open with an ax, his brains popped out, and he died before he could scream.

Those Xixia soldiers who were wearing soft armor or even no armor, no matter how they could block such an attack, a large number of them were cut down to the ground immediately.

The left rear of Li Liangfu's main force was impacted and collapsed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and countless people were killed by the butcher's knife of the Song army.

Li Yanxian personally led the team, as if the god of death descended from the sky.

"It was Song Jun who came to kill him!"

The shout of a Xixia soldier, on the battlefield, was like an inconspicuous wave in the sea, and did not arouse the attention of the main force in front.

After quite a while, Li Liangfu realized something was wrong when the movement in the rear left became louder and louder.

The scouts rushed over frantically, shouting at the top of their lungs, "Report! Li Shuai, our rear is under attack!"

Li Liangfu's heart skipped a beat, and he said in shock, "Where did Song Jun come from!"

He turned around to look, and the banner blocked his view, but amidst the noise, he heard the sound of fighting coming from that direction.

"Not good!" Li Liangfu's expression was ashen, and he suddenly became chaotic.

At this time, the whole army was attacking, the front army was suppressed by the vanguard, and the rear was also raided!

Where did Song Jun come from?

Li Liangfu was so angry that he scouted all directions to investigate. The Song army in the rear would never escape the eyes of the scouts, and it was even more impossible for the Song army in Lanzhou city to jump out of the encirclement of tens of thousands of troops and join here.

Could it be that it can't come out of the ground?

Li Liangfu looked around and saw Gaolan Mountain, he was startled suddenly, he seemed to realize something.

It came over Gaolan Mountain!

He took a deep breath.

It's too late to regret now.

Time seemed to slow down, and the terrifying fight was in full swing outside Lanzhou City.

An hour after the Song Army and the Xixia Army confronted each other head-on, the south gate of Lanzhou City was suddenly opened.

Teams of Song troops rushed out of the city and began to line up.

The front is still the heavy armored infantry, the crossbowmen are behind the formation, and the infantry is deployed along with them.

The Xixia people who besieged the city also immediately mobilized their troops.

The Song army first covered a wave of crossbows under the city, and then began to advance under the defense of the infantry armor.

The two sides soon began to fight each other.

A decisive battle also broke out on the battlefield under Lanzhou City.

The Xixia general who besieged Lanzhou City was called Wei Ming Yeli. He was the eldest son of Xixia Prime Minister Wei Ming Anhui, and he was the general of Zhuo Luo and the Southern Army Division.

He predicted that the Song army in Lanzhou City would definitely leave the city at this time. When the people below reported that the Song army had come out from the south gate, he immediately mobilized the surrounding troops and gathered at the south gate.

Although the total strength of the Xixia army is more than 6, in fact, more than 2 are supply troops.

For the barren Xixia, they are also used as regular troops at critical moments, but their combat effectiveness is another matter.

The battle outside the city gate quickly turned into a fierce battle of hand-to-hand combat.

Another half an hour later, the east gate was suddenly opened, and under the surprised eyes of the Xixia army outside the city, another Song army rushed out of the city.

This is a cavalry force of 500 men, which is the number of all cavalry in Lanzhou City.

Guan Shigu pushed all the cavalry up and concentrated his forces.

When they rushed out, they poured into the Xixia army like a mudslide, quickly penetrated through a part of the Xixia army that had been withdrawn, and then frantically charged towards the south gate.

The Xixia army, which originally occupied the absolute initiative, was already in a weak position after being cut into three parts and being attacked by Li Yanxian.

Liu Qian's forward team disabled Atuhan's forward team and continued to move forward.

However, Li Liangfu had already given up his charge, and started to break through with his personal guards. Half of his main force was defeated by Li Yanxian.

Human heads rolled on the pile of corpses, blood flowed down and gathered into small depressions.

Both sides were so red-eyed, many people's knives were notched, and they were even rolled over, and the thick blood stains on them were covered with bone residue.

Chapter 368 Song Xia's overall situation is reversed? (third change)

The Song army in Lanzhou City went all out and killed the Xixia army outside the city to collapse and flee.

Wei Ming also heard that the army was retreating, so he couldn't help scolding Li Liangfu, blaming him for sending the elite away, which led to this situation.

For the Xixia people today, it is really a big oolong.

A good hand was played like this.

Until dusk fell, this war that stretched for tens of miles came to an end.

The Xixia cavalry who broke into the left wing of the Song Army almost cut the left wing of the Song Army several times. The left wing of the Song Army fell into disorder and chaos, and the middle road was also affected.

However, Atuhan's troops were crippled by the Song army's forward army, and Li Liangfu's main force was scrapped by Li Yanxian. From the perspective of the overall battle situation, the main force of the Song army was no longer needed.

The Xixia cavalry tried their best to rush in. They thought that after disrupting the main formation of the Song army, their main infantry would be able to crush the Song army. Now it seems that the cavalry was lonely and the casualties were not small.
