Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

It was faintly visible at first, and gradually became clear and dense, accompanied by countless footsteps.

Next, I saw a black silhouette appearing in the wind and snow.

Everyone knew that it was the Xixia people who had come.

Their army is not the elite of the elite, even the armor is light armor, and even many people are Xiangjun, who have never been a forward.

I don't know why, this time let them be the striker.

But the military order is like a mountain.

At this time, the iron hooves of the Xixia people were getting closer.

The Song army had already seen the Xixia cavalry in front of them, riding horses and holding weapons, advancing quickly towards this side.

And as the distance advanced, their speed became faster and faster, attacking the two wings.

"Archer ready!"

Immediately rows of archers came to the forefront and drew their bowstrings.

"put!"

In an instant, some arrows passed through the sky in the not-so-strong snowstorm and shot at the Xixia infantry.

ding ding ding...

The arrow landed on the iron armor, making a metallic sound.

Although they had armor, some unlucky Xixia soldiers were shot in the face and died on the spot.

There were also those who shot the horses, and the horses fell to the ground, and the people also fell off the horses.

But the horses move at high speed, and the number of shots and kills is really limited.

"Kill! Kill these Song dogs!"

There was a sudden roar, and those Xixia cavalry fell into a state of madness one by one.

After the Song army switched another wave of archers, the Xixia people had already killed from the two wings.

It cut into the Song Army's formation like a hot knife cutting butter, and immediately tore the Song Army's formation apart.

Chapter 1062 Sniping the Xixia Cavalry Legion with Explosives ([-]rd update)

"Run!"

The Song Army officer was the first to call out.

Those soldiers still didn't understand the situation, and when they saw the officer running away with the flag, they immediately dispersed.

And the two Song armies were like this, uncharacteristically did not stick to it.

Some of them fled to both sides, and some retreated to the trench nearly two miles away.

"We're almost over the ditch! Everyone, don't worry! There are people behind us covering us!"

The voices of the officers were drowned in the terrified flight.

I saw them cross the ditch one by one, and fled towards the infantry formation behind the ditch.

Seeing this, the soldiers in the Infantry Army remained motionless, but some people must have been affected in their hearts.

The emotion of fear is like a scourge, the more there are, the more terrifying the power will be.

"Beat the drum!" Chen Gui ordered immediately.

bang... bang... bang...

The earth-shattering drums of the Song Army began to sound, and many people's hearts were shocked.

Just listen to Song Junjun shouting immediately in the formation: "Kill! Kill! Kill!"

With the same sound, the whole body of those who had just escaped was shaken, and the fear in some people's hearts was completely shaken.

Although some people were still running away, their speed obviously slowed down.

The officers were still shouting at the top of their lungs: "Quickly retreat! Withdraw over there!"

At this time, the scouts quickly passed the news of defeating the Song army to Xiang Lishuge. Xiang Lishuge was overjoyed. He laughed and praised Yeli Rongwang: "I count you as a great meritorious service!"

"Thank you General!"

"Where are the remnants of the Song Army?"

"Behind the trench!"

"How many trenches were dug?"

"The second one has only been dug a little bit!"

"Are there wooden spurs in the trench?"

"no!"

"Hahaha! A trench can't stop my iron cavalry!" Xiang Lishuge, who defeated the Song Army's forward, was full of spirits, "The Song Army's forward was defeated, and the army's morale was in turmoil. Send me an order, and the whole army will take advantage of the victory to attack!"

The horns of the Xixia people's charge sounded, and the army began to move forward in a mighty manner, especially the cavalry on the two wings, who rushed forward first.

At this time, the Xixia cavalry who defeated the Song army near the trench also regrouped, joined the main force, and began to prepare to attack the Song army on the opposite side of the trench with superior forces.

A trench less than two meters wide really couldn't stop the horses.

Unless there is a very close parallel behind this trench.

The two trenches greatly increase the difficulty for the horses to cross the past.

But if the Song army dug two trenches, the Xixia people would not come over.

It will never happen that Xiang Lishuge excitedly yells "the whole army attacks" at this time.

The Xixia Cavalry Corps began to accelerate, and the sound of iron hooves on the ground became louder and denser!

The war horse neighed, and the ten thousand horses galloped forward, rolling and rushing forward.

"Where's the artillery battalion!" Chen Gui shouted.

At this moment, blue veins popped up on the forehead of this normally gentle scholar.

"Where did Zhang Chaoyu die?"

"Chen Shilang, Zhang Dutong is here, over there!"

Chen Gui turned around and looked around, only to see the soldiers of the Artillery Battalion hurrying over with their Tiger Squatting Cannons.

The first tiger squat gun was placed in the snow, followed by the second, and the third...

In such a critical juncture, it is still in order.

The soldiers behind pushed the wooden box, took out the gunpowder and shells deftly, and began to fill them.

The soldiers' hands were red with cold and they breathed out white steam, but no one cared about it.

They put the shells in first, and then the gunpowder.

At this time, teams of archers stepped forward.

But on the opposite side of the ditch, the light cavalry of the Xixia people swept towards them with overwhelming power like rolling waves.

The ground for miles around was trembling faintly.

The archers standing only tens of meters away from the trench were under tremendous psychological pressure, and their backs were even wet with cold sweat.

When the first platoon of Xixia cavalry crossed the ditch, the archers pulled the bowstring and shot the burning rockets.

Immediately, the rockets in the wind and snow fell like rain near the trench.

The rockets couldn't penetrate the armor of the Xixia people, and some even fell to the ground and began to go out in the not too thick snow.

But when the first rocket fell into the ditch, the fuel inside was immediately ignited.

When the first flame ignited, the flames began to flow around as if they were alive.

The fuse poured with fire oil burned, igniting the thunder that was covered by a thin layer of mud.

boom……

The first explosion came suddenly.

It came too suddenly, and the iron fragments from the thunder shot out, directly piercing the belly of the war horse that happened to be leaping over the trench, cutting it in, and piercing its internal organs.

The war horse neighed, its body turned sideways in the air, and fell forward. The cavalry on it fell down, was pinned down, and slid on the ground.

The moment after the first explosion, the second, third...

There is hardly any gap between them.

Wherever the flames passed, there was an explosion, like a string of firecrackers connected in series.

No, faster than firecrackers.

However, the Xixia cavalry rushing in front rolled down like waves on the rocks and scattered all over the ground.

Moreover, the broken iron fragments of Zhentianlei shot indiscriminately one meter before and after the trench, and the horses behind were also impacted, causing a collective collapse.

What's even more frightening is that the sudden explosion made the war horse extremely frightened.

They slowed down suddenly, but fell into the ditch, and fell to death in it, their bodies were deformed.

Those who followed were also affected, and just slowed down, but slipped down.

You know, at this time, the horses of the Xixia army are running at a speed of 13.9 kilometers per hour, which is equivalent to [-] meters per second.

The cavalry was separated by more than ten meters, and a little further 20 meters.

Under normal circumstances, when the horses in front are attacked by sniper, the horses behind can react and dodge in a short time.

After all, there is more than ten meters between the cavalry and the cavalry, so there is enough space.

However, in this scene, even if the war horse reacted and instinctively slowed down and dodged to the side, it was too late, because the front was a trench.

There were still continuous thunder explosions in the trench, and another wave of cavalry collapsed in the trench.

piled up.

The horse behind hit it directly.

Then, that terrible scene happened.

In the sound of the explosion, more war horses that were galloping wildly were frightened, slowed down, and bumped into the front.

The scene was really like layers of waves hitting the reef, breaking a large piece.

The bigger the so-called ship, the harder it is to turn around.

The larger the army, the harder it is to turn.

This sudden change caused such a large legion, a considerable number of cavalry in front of it, to collapse in the ditch where the horses and soldiers' corpses were piled up.

When the rear found an abnormality, it finally began to change lanes.

The distance between cavalry and cavalry is enough to allow them to change lanes flexibly.

After paying a painful price, the Cavalry Corps gradually began to detour.

But at this time there was another roar from the front, and the Song Army's iron cannon pierced the sky, tearing out sharp arcs in the wind and snow, and smashing towards the cavalry regiment of the Xixia people.

A hundred cannons fired at the same time.

It covered a piece, and more than [-] cavalrymen were hit. The surrounding cavalrymen could hardly avoid such a dense collapse, and another piece collapsed quickly.

"What happened!" Xiang Li Shuge was shocked.

Chapter 1063 All the best! (first update)

Later, in the lecture hall, someone would always give lectures to the students with the example of the battle of Yuzhou, where the Song army fought from the left to the right of Xixia.

why?

Because it's so classic!

Starting from digging trenches, guide the Xixia people to send troops.

Xixia people are not stupid, scouts are all over the battlefield.

If the Xixia people don't send troops, then the Song army will dig a second trench and directly seal the battlefield here.

If the battlefield is blocked, the two sides can only fight in the middle lane and the other lane.
