Surrounded by hundreds of thousands of troops, and they are all cavalry, although the horse farm in Western Xia was seriously damaged because of the wool plan of the Great Song Dynasty, but these hundreds of thousands of horses can still barely be taken out, hundreds of thousands of cavalry are different from foot soldiers, and their combat methods are more mobile and flexible.

Didn't hide the pang to give full play to this characteristic of the cavalry, and constantly attacked the Great Song army formation in the way of ranger combat, just like the endless tide, even the Great Song army formation, which is known for its stability, could not withstand thousands of impacts, there were hundreds of thousands of people in Western Xia, and it was completely possible to rotate to impact the Great Song Dynasty military formation, which was a war of hundreds of thousands of people, and the battle line alone opened for dozens of miles.

There were only more than 30,000 people left in Yang Huaiyu's hands, and the rest were either killed in battle or seriously wounded, of course, the Song army also achieved brilliant results, and the Song army, which was originally 50,000 people, killed 60,000 enemies...... This is a terrifying number, at the cost of 20,000 people, 60,000 enemies were killed, and on average, one soldier in the Great Song Dynasty replaced three Tangut people.

Wave after wave of encirclement and suppression were scattered, but the enemy seemed to be like a tide repeatedly, the battlefield is a place to compete for will, the more repeated attacks are a major test of will, if you can't withstand it, there is only one result, collapse.

The 50,000 army has been blocking the attack of the Tanguts for three days, and these three days are enough time for the firearms battalion to leave with heavy artillery, but at the same time, Yang Huaiyu and others have fallen into a bitter battle of encirclement, and the Tanguts seem to know that they can't get artillery, so they have transferred all their strength to the body of the Southern Route Army, in fact, the current 100,000 people of the Southern Route Army have been divided and surrounded.

No one knows the situation of Chong Shiheng, no one knows the situation of Zhe Weizhong, plus the left and right wings were cut off, and Yang Huaiyu, who died 20,000 people in the battle, has already been exhausted by veterans and can only rely on instinct to fight.

The Western Xia people have lost a lot of soldiers, and now the Great Song army is tired, and it is a good time to surrender, so they sent a loud voice to call the formation: "The soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty are good men, but I am afraid that they are already powerless after fighting for so long, right?" My family commander has an order, those who abandon their weapons and flee, Daxia will not chase and kill, and let them return to the Song realm. ”

Obviously, this is a place where soldiers who want to capture and indulge in the past can return to the territory of the Great Song Dynasty as long as they lay down their weapons? Joke! Now in the Great Song Dynasty, even if he dies in battle, he can't escape, and the deserters return to the Great Song Dynasty, even if the court doesn't deal with him, the neighbors around him, and the hawkers and merchants will force him to death.

It's okay to fight for the country and not die to serve the king's orders, but to be a deserter? This is an extremely shameful thing, not to mention living by yourself, even the heirs and relatives of the family will be spurned by others, it is better to kill the enemy on the battlefield and die happily.

So the Xixia shouted in front of the battle, which caused the Great Song army to laugh, and the ridicule made the Xixia people feel that their faces were dull and red, and at the same time, they also found that today's Great Song Dynasty is completely different from the past, and this courage alone is admirable.

"You might as well tell you and others, my Great Song Dynasty soldiers don't dare to be deserters, let alone be pawns, otherwise no one in the family will be able to raise their heads in the Great Song Dynasty, killing one Lao Tzu is enough, and killing two Lao Tzu will make money!"

The words of a little Yu Hou made people feel relieved, and also said that everyone's hearts were in the heart, and someone shouted at the Xixia people in front of the battle: "Listen to the party members on the other side, if you surrender now, there is still a chance to attach it, if the king division waves his troops, it will be the time to destroy the country and destroy the clan!" ”

"Destroy the country and the people! Destroy the country and the people! ”

The shouts of the Great Song Dynasty made the Western Xia people pale for a while, this momentum and the current situation seem to be really like this, although they divided and surrounded the 100,000 people of the Southern Route Army of the Great Song Dynasty, but even so, they have paid huge casualties before they have eliminated these 100,000 people, you must know that the army of the Great Song Dynasty is far more than the 100,000 people in front of them......

To deal with this 100,000 people in Western Xia, it will take out hundreds of thousands of troops, if the Great Song Dynasty three-way army gathers, how many people will Western Xia use to block, the total number of Western Xia is only 500,000 troops, and it is also scattered in various military divisions, and now the Great Song Dynasty has weakened the military strength of Western Xia through various means, and there are more than 100,000 people in the Fan Department who have moved to the Great Song Dynasty alone!

This is also an important reason why he must eliminate the Southern Route Army, one is to fight the Great Song Dynasty in momentum, and the other is to reduce the pressure faced by the Western Xia, although the heavy cavalry in Di Qing's hands is terrifying, but the Great Song infantry that steadily encroached on the Western Xia has shaken the national capital of the Western Xia, and the cities and lands of the Western Xia have disappeared everywhere they go!

Compared with cavalry, infantry is more good at defensive operations, and the Song people built walled cities, and the tactics of defending as an offensive are more headaches, and it is even more difficult to recover the land taken by the Great Song Dynasty.

Some scattered troops appeared not far from Yang Huaiyu's army formation, and they had to respond to it anyway, otherwise it would chill the hearts of the soldiers, and collecting these remnants could increase the existing military strength to some extent, so Yang Huaiyu sent the remaining cavalry in the army to meet these remnants.

Since you can't go, don't go! This has become the consensus of the generals in the army, the first time in the Great Song Dynasty appeared between the generals and the Hanmen generals of the sympathy, the two sides abandoned their prejudices, and single-mindedly dealt with the invading enemy, which also made the morale of the Song army high.

The herald rangers should have passed the news to Di Shuai, so what the Southern Route Army could do next was to wait, the retreat along the way caused the Great Song to suffer heavy losses, and only by stationing down and forming a formation did the Great Song gain a firm foothold.

Encamping and waiting for Di Qing's rescue is the best way in front of him, Yang Huaiyu began his duties as the supreme commander of the Southern Route Army, trying to protect these soldiers and horses, after all, each of them is a child of the Great Song Dynasty, and each of them has their own family like themselves.

After taking the heavy armor, Yang Huaiyu was the first to take the lead in digging fortifications, trapping horse pits, tripping horses, rejecting horses, etc., these are all sharp weapons to deal with the Western Xia cavalry, and the baggage in the army also carries a large number of iron thistles.

This weapon seems to be simple in shape, but it is very useful, and can even play an unexpected role on the battlefield, the main feature of the thistle terrestris is that it has four iron thorns, and when it is used, as long as it is thrown on the ground, there will always be a thorn head pointing upwards. In order to allow the thrown thistle to be recovered, a small hole is specially designed in the middle of it, which can be passed through with a rope for easy collection.

The iron thistle terrestris is combined with the horse rejection pistol and the tripping horse rope, and the use effect of the horse pit is amazing, and the Great Song Dynasty also has a well-trained and well-equipped crossbow arrow army, which is a long-range force that can not be compared with all dynasties.

The officers and men in the army have reached a consensus, since Li Ling was able to fight the 80,000 Xiongnu army with 5,000 foot soldiers, and the use was only the most primitive rhubarb crossbow, and now the Song army is equipped with the most advanced ratchet crossbows, and there are more than 10,000 crossbowmen, and they are worried that they will not be able to stand the military formation?
