Alone in the mountains.
"Master Lu, you are the only one who has fought against Xixia here. Let me introduce you to everyone!"
In the military camp, Sun Lei looked at Lu Zhishen and asked, Xixia is a very mysterious country. Compared with the Song, Liao, Jin, and Mongolia at the same time, there are too few things handed down from the party regime of Xixia.
"Xi Xia? Hmm..."
Lu Zhishen hesitated, his eyes were a little dazed, as if he was lost in memories.
"The Xixia army is divided into: the captured army, the bell-beating army, the iron kite army, the Buba army, and the Poxi army."
"The Capture Army is the main battle infantry and is responsible for the main attack. Because it captures the most, it is called the Army of Capture Alive."
"The Bell Ringers are mainly a death squad composed of prisoners. They are usually used to rush into military formations and die."
"Bubazi is good at climbing up and down hillsides, entering and exiting streams. He is best at climbing high and far, and is good at walking with light feet."
"The Poxi Army is a firearms force, but the Xixia people don't know how to make artillery. They rely on these Poxi Army to spread the gunpowder."
"The Iron Kites are the most elite cavalry in Xixia. The Jurchen Iron Pagodas have the shadow of the Iron Kites. The men and horses are all wearing heavy armor. The horses are all the best Hexi horses, and the armors are cold-forged armor. There are only three thousand people in the Iron Kites. , but these people are hereditary, have tacit cooperation, high loyalty, and extremely strong combat power."
Lu Zhishen spoke slowly.
"Do Xixia people still have so many ways?"
Everyone was surprised. Xixia was not very strong in the eyes of the outside world, and had been suppressed by the Western Army in recent years. But now they realized that it was not that simple.
"Xixia is actually not weak. All the people are soldiers, millions of people, and the number of soldiers and horses can be up to 600,000. However, for so many years, the harem and relatives have controlled the country. Several generations of emperors have been puppets. There are many internal problems, resulting in low combat effectiveness. "
Lu Zhishen shook his head and said, Xixia's problem is internal.
"It sounds very powerful, but if the Western Army can fight, so can we!"
Sun Lei said with a smile.
In the mountains to the north, a group of black-armored cavalry advanced slowly, with more than 20,000 infantry behind them.
"Why are there still women?"
Sun Lei frowned while looking at the Xixia people walking through the mountain roads with a telescope on the mountain.
"There really is a girl!"
Yue Fei held the telescope and looked at it curiously. Yue Fei couldn't put it down, but as a treasure, he found that there were always some strange things about Sun Lei.
"Although the Xixia people learned from us, they are still barbarian tribes. The military system is that all people are soldiers, similar to that of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Once a war breaks out, it will be a sign for the country's young labor force. Men over 15 years old and under 70 years old will Ding, must be drafted into the army. In addition, there are many "Makui" (strong female soldiers) in the army."
Lu Zhishen introduced.
"Those are the Iron Kites? They are somewhat different from the Jurchen Iron Buddha Temple!"
Sun Lei pointed at the black-armored heavy rider at the front of the team and said, these iron kites have scale armor, while the iron futu is a whole piece of armor. In comparison, the iron kites are more flexible, and the iron futu has stronger impact. .
"This time, more than 10,000 elites came! More than 500 iron kites, it seems that the Xixia people are really ready for a battle!"
Lu Zhishen frowned and said, Tie Yaozi is an army directly under the Xixia royal family. The Xixia standing army only has 100,000 soldiers, and those belonging to the royal family only have 40,000, while Tie Yaozi only has 3,000 soldiers and horses, and the rest of the troops are under the command of the leaders of various tribes.
"According to the planned plan, first hit his cavalry with a trebuchet! Hit him hard, and then charge straight forward!"
Sun Lei looked at everyone and said.
The Xixia people moved forward slowly and encountered no enemies along the way. This made the Xixia people even more arrogant, thinking that the Song Dynasty was about to be in chaos, which was a good opportunity for them to fight back.
When the Xixia army arrived at Yichu Canyon, the sky suddenly became overcast, and a huge cloud covered the scorching sun.
"March quickly while it's cool. We'll cross the Yellow River today and enter the east of the river!"
Li Liangfu was overjoyed. The weather was too hot these days, and the soldiers had to march hard under the scorching sun.
Without the scorching sun, the Xixia army marched faster and reached the foot of Duzhan Mountain directly.
"What it is?"
Li Liangfu suddenly stopped the army, and there were dozens of weird "cars" on the road directly in front!
The 30,000-strong army formed a long formation between the mountain roads. Although Li Liangfu's front army stopped, the troops behind him were still moving forward.
"put!"
With a roar, the trebuchet came to show its power. The mountain road was narrow, and the army was crowded in the middle of the mountain road. The trebuchet smashed into one piece, and dozens of huge rocks instantly killed the army at the front.
"Enemy! Hidden!"
Li Liangfu's expression changed drastically and he immediately beckoned the troops to avoid him. The trebuchet's lethality in this kind of terrain was terrible.
"shooting!"
Hua Rong immediately called for the crossbowmen to shoot. The crossbowmen on both sides of the canyon directly opened their bows and fired arrows. The Xixia people hiding below were shot over by arrows like scattered rabbits.
"Smash it for me!"
In the back section of the Xixia army, Sun An roared, and the recruits directly threw huge rocks and logs downwards.
The sudden offensive caused the Xixia army to act in chaos, with the head and tail unable to care about each other.
"Where did the enemy come from?"
Li Liangfu's expression changed drastically. The journey was uneventful, but when he was approaching the Yellow River, he suddenly encountered an enemy.
"Gather the bell-ringers and charge!"
Li Liangfu looked at the bell ringers around him and shouted, "There is no way to turn back in the valley. The trebuchet in front is blocking the way, and you must rush away to break through."
"Go up the mountain step by step!"
Li Liangfu looked at the group of infantry in the rear and shouted.
At this moment, a rumble sounded, and the valley was filled with the sound of wheels.
"What?"
Li Liangfu looked forward and saw that the trebuchets were being pulled by war horses and rushing towards them. The frame of the trebuchets had been modified and was filled with sharp knives.
"kill!"
Lu Zhishen, Sui Sheng, Yue Fei, Lu Fang, and Guo Sheng followed closely behind the trebuchets with three thousand cavalry. They wanted to use the trebuchets to charge into the formation and kill all the bell-ringers who wanted to die.
"kill!"
Wu Song, Shi Xiu, Zhang Qing, and Qiong Ying led thousands of troops to rush down from the cliff and kill the Xixia Bubazi.
Wu Song waved his swords, Shi Xiu charged and killed bravely, Zhang Qing and Qiong Ying flew rocks, and those Bu Bazi who were good at climbing over mountains and ridges were instantly killed.
"shooting!"
Hua Rong commanded the archers to continue suppressing the Xixia people in the valley.
"Kill me, leave no one behind!"
Sun An, Tang Bin, Hao Siwen, Deng Fei, Ou Peng, Jiao Ting, Wen Zhongrong, and Cui Ye led a large group of troops to charge from the rear. The Xixia army's rear group was the weakest, and those who captured alive had average combat power and did not have much strength. The equipment was thrown into chaos.
The trebuchet rushed directly into the Xixia army. Looking at the trebuchet full of sharp knives, no one dared to block the trebuchet. They all gave way and the formation was directly disrupted.
"kill!"
Yue Fei took the lead, waving his spear and charging directly into the Xixia army. Lu Zhishen, Sui Sheng, Lu Fang, and Guo Sheng also led their troops to kill a large number of Xixia people in an instant.
"Kill me! Kill! Kill!"
Li Liangfu's face turned pale, and the shouts of killing echoing in the valley made his heart feel cold. Now that the enemy in front of him had rushed into the formation, he really fell into the enemy's encirclement. In this terrain, they were at an absolute disadvantage. We can only fight to the death.
