At this time, Li Qianshun had handed over his troops to the general Li Liangfu who also came over.
Of course Li Qianshun knew that Li Liangfu's ability could not be called a famous general, or even a good general. His shortcomings were too obvious, but after all, he was still much better than those mediocre guys.
At least better than him...
One of the best traits of Emperor Li Qianshun was that he knew what he could and could not do. He never gave random orders, so he handed over his military power to someone who, although he was average in ability, was at least loyal and at the same time the most capable person under his command. .
And Li Liangfu also knew the Mongolian fighting style and strength from his previous confrontation with An Bahai, so he immediately rectified his troops and adjusted their formation.
Looking at the charging Mongolian cavalry, he placed his sword and shield hand at the front, and at the same time mobilized many shields to be ready to block them at any time.
The trebuchet began to fire, while the crossbow temporarily stopped, waiting for the charge of the Mongolian cavalry.
At the same time, Li Liangfu placed local soldiers and horses around to form an encirclement, and the capital garrison was placed in front of the Mongolian cavalry, while the captured troops were placed in the rear as support.
It can be said that in front of the Mongolian cavalry, they can definitely be regarded as the absolute elite of Xixia.
In Li Liangfu's view, these elite soldiers and horses were completely enough to block the charging Mongolian army. After encountering obstacles, if they wanted to break the situation, they would have to rush in from both sides.
On both sides of the battlefield, in addition to deploying local troops, he also laid out traps.
The huge stone thrown by the cart did not cause any pressure when facing the Mongolian cavalry that rushed over. Although the huge stone looked really powerful, it moved slowly after all.
The most important thing is that this thing can be easily avoided in front of the Mongolian Qingqi.
Only some unlucky guys who charged too hard were accidentally hit, and the remaining Mongolian cavalry easily rushed within 200 steps of the Xixia army.
Seeing that he was about to face a charge, Li Liangfu still did not let the army fight. Instead, he waved the command flag and issued a second order.
"Poxi Army, attack! Deter the enemy!"
With an order, two hundred cavalrymen riding two-humped camels and armed with unique weapons rushed directly. This was one of the three elites of Xixia, the Poxi Army.
The Mongolian army had never seen this thing before. Even if Hebule saw this mere two hundred people and dared to rush out, he frowned and didn't take it seriously.
But immediately after, he was deeply shocked by the two hundred people.
Two hundred soldiers riding Bactrian camels used the weird weapons to directly launch strange objects, which seemed to be fist-sized stones, but when these objects hit the person, they were immediately stunned. Mongolia actually turned into a pile of rotten meat that was almost crushed.
Blood flew everywhere, and no bones remained.
This scene really shocked Hebule. The most terrifying thing was that this group of people were very precise in their tactics. They kept rushing and moving around, dodging the arrows of their Mongolians, and killing each soldier one after another.
Although there were not many of them, and although their movements were not fast, the distance of a hundred steps only allowed them to kill hundreds of people.
This was nothing compared to tens of thousands of Mongolian cavalry, but this thing was so terrifying that it knocked down their morale, and even caused a bodyguard to be killed in front of him in order to protect Hebul. In fact, Hebu Le had the idea of retreating temporarily.
"Is this a treasure sent by the golden man? Isn't it embarrassing for me to give this kind of thing to Xixia?"
"Then if the Song people had such a treasure, how could they be defeated again and again and lose many key places?"
"Song people are really scary..."
If Zhao Huan and many ministers and generals of the Song Dynasty heard Na Hebu Le's inner voice at this time, they would definitely burst into tears, because He Bu Le was afraid and greedy not to mention this thing.
Zhao Huan was also greedy and cowardly.
If it weren't for this thing and the other elites, Zhao Huan would have asked Han Shizhong and Yue Fei to send people to kill Xixia. How could it be his turn to come over?
This Poxi Army is a special unit of Xixia. According to the oral tradition of the Song Army, this thing can be summed up in twelve words.
Set up the cyclone cannon, stand on the saddle of the camel, and move the rocks like a fist!
It is also very powerful. Whether it is the imperial army wearing heavy infantry armor, the general with the bright light armor on his chest, or the local soldiers with ordinary equipment, the result of encountering this thing is the same. .
Shattered to pieces!
In Zhao Huan's words, the Han people have been studying gunpowder for hundreds of years, but none of the Qiang branch party members know how to use it. This thing is the ancient version of high-explosive grenade.
It is still the kind of gunpowder technology that is no less inferior to that of the Yicrow War.
For this reason, almost all the spy money that Tong Guan managed to find was lost in Xixia, and he didn't even bring back any seeds.
With the whole country, the Xixia people were able to come up with a configuration of almost 200 people. Legend has it that the ancestors of the Li family took away the best flying fire craftsmen from the late Tang Dynasty and spent hundreds of years improving it from generation to generation. .
As soon as these things appeared, they immediately disrupted Hebule's arrangement, causing the morale of his cavalry to drop by more than one level.
Li Liangfu in the rear couldn't help but smile after seeing this scene. As a result, the Mongolian cavalry, whose morale had plummeted, would no longer be able to break through their elite defense.
"The Poxi Army withdraws, the Blade and Shield Soldiers move forward, and the Proton Army prepares to attack!"
"The armies on both sides are preparing to encircle, and the armies from all directions are preparing."
Under Li Liangfu's command, he even had a feeling in his heart that Your Majesty is still too young. There is no need for such an enemy to have the remnants of the Liao Kingdom come to help.
But then I thought about it and let the remnants of the Liao Kingdom see that Xixia has been unable to retreat for so many years not because their soldiers and horses cannot fight, but because their logistics cannot support it.
It also saves these guys from underestimating themselves.
The Mongolian cavalry continued to charge, and the two sides were already within a hundred steps. At this time, the Mongolian cavalry picked up the crossbows at their waists, and at the same time bent their bows and prepared arrows.
When Li Liangfu saw this scene, he immediately asked someone to raise his shield. He had already seen the Mongolian soldiers' cavalry shooting.
It is indeed more powerful than them. As a branch of the Qiang people, after all, they Xixia can be regarded as nomadic, but riding and shooting is different from infantry fighting.
Their best shooters can only shoot stably at a distance of fifty steps, even with saddles and stirrups, because the bumps prevent them from finding the target sharply.
Although the accuracy of this group of Mongolian cavalry was similar to theirs, whether it was due to physical reasons or crossbow reasons, the distance they could throw could reach nearly a hundred steps.
This is very scary.
"Shoot!" With a loud roar, arrows flew into the sky one after another, and then landed on the heads of the Xixia army. Li Liangfu, who had been prepared for this time, immediately asked the soldiers to raise their shields high above their heads to protect themselves. and colleagues around me.
The three-way arrow fell, and their loss was not great.
After seeing this scene, the smile on Li Liangfu's face became even more serious. He felt that everything was planned by him.
At the next moment, they must block their charge, force them to both sides, and then encircle them with ambushed troops and horses to completely defeat them.
"Kill!" At the moment Li Liangfu's smile bloomed, the charging Mongolian cavalry suddenly changed. Within a short distance of twenty steps, they actually made a movement to disperse.
The cavalry in front suddenly dispersed to both sides to give way to the battlefield, and a special cavalry that Li Liangfu had never noticed appeared directly in front of the Xixia army.
This was a cavalryman. This kind of horse control technique made Li Liangfu's eyes widen.
Everyone in this special cavalry rides a tall horse, and everyone is extremely strong. The armor on their body can only protect their vitals, and their hands are not scimitars, spears, or giant axes.
In their hands is a strange meteor hammer.
A short handle is connected to an iron chain, and the other end is a hammer head filled with sharp iron thorns, which is constantly rotating, making bursts of whistling sounds.
Just when they were about to fight, the rain of arrows from the rear of the Xixia army also came in front of them. Facing the rain of arrows, they pulled down their hoods and no longer looked at the rain of arrows that shot them. They just used the meteor hammer in their hands with force. was thrown out.
The arrows hit their bodies, and the war horses brought out streams of blood. At the same time, many war horses fell to the ground and threw the soldier away.
But regardless of the scars on their bodies, these people continued to charge after throwing the meteor hammer, relying on their horses, legs, and even crawling.
A heavy bolas hit the shield in front of them. Although the huge force did not make the shield fall away immediately, it still made them stagger.
The originally tight formation was completely loosened at this moment, and this also gave the Mongolian army ample opportunities.
"Kill over!" A strong man like an iron tower rushed out with a long-handled battle ax. The battle ax in his hand split the shield in front of him, and the soldier holding the shield was also split in half.
The fast horse charged without stopping at all, and the Mongolian cavalry behind him also launched a charge one after another.
Broad swords, spears, giant axes, and heavy weapons really exploded with great power in the hands of this group of tall and powerful men as strong as cattle.
The Xixia elite who were waiting in full formation were immediately beaten to pieces under the impact of this army.
Afterwards, the Mongolian cavalry immediately charged in and began to wreak havoc among the Xixia army, and even their momentum was once again increased by a few points.
But when the eyes were on Hebule again, Hebule, who should have been happy because he had turned the tide of the battle, turned out to be very serious.
"This has just begun and the death warriors have rushed forward. These people from Xixia are really not to be underestimated..."
Hebule, who was muttering to himself, felt a little nervous about this battle for the first time. He found that he had indeed underestimated these guys.
However, the second son Baer Tanba Atu'er and the fourth son Hutula who were following him laughed when they heard their father's words.
"Father, you are too worried. Even though the Xixia people have strong soldiers and horses, how can we, the Mongolian warriors, fall behind others?
Father, just watch and see how my brother defeats this bullshit Xixia Army! "
After saying that, Hutula, the fourth son of Hebule, suddenly roared.
"Second brother, you are a father again, how dare you compete with me to see who has killed more people!"
"Boy, why don't you dare!"
"If you win, I will give this horse to your newborn son as a full moon gift!"
"Then let me first thank you, my fourth uncle, for Yesu!"
Amidst the laughter, the two generals led their guards directly out of the horse and charged towards both sides.
The Mongolian cavalry is unparalleled in riding and shooting, and its charge is also unparalleled!
