The shouts of killing were like a tide, the sound of horses' hooves was rolling, and the sounds of roars, fights, and gold and iron clashing were boiling on the huge battlefield.

Black, gray smoke and dust drifting in the air, the air is full of infiltrating smell, when the cavalry of the iron armor suddenly exerts force at close range, the gun array meets up in front, the wrestling force between the spear and the war horse is accompanied by the twisted gold and iron scraping sound, and the tip of the spear pierced into the iron armor along the gap into the horse's body, bringing out a large amount of bloody gas, the war horse turned in pain, someone fell in the gun array, the knight on the horse waved the long ge in his hand, crossed the face of the person, and there was also a heavy hammer waved, and it was slammed on the head of the war horse with a loud bang, The war horse fell to the ground with the blood.

At the sound of the trumpet, a larger explosion rang out again, stretching into a patch, almost shaking the entire land. A huge column of smoke rose into the sky.

Immediately afterward, the soldiers of the Black Flag Army surrounded and charged like a tidal wave.

This battle on Dong Zhiyuan, from the beginning of the battle, did not give the iron harrier much time to choose. The improved power of gunpowder broke the previously available operational ideas, and after the first two rounds of shelling, the heavy cavalry, which had suffered huge losses, could only react slightly. If it is in an ordinary battle, the Iron Harrier's losses after receiving the enemy are expanded to the number of six hundred to nine hundred, and the other party has not collapsed, the Iron Harrier should consider leaving, but this time, the front line is only slightly engaged with the enemy, and the huge losses make it almost impossible to choose next.

He made his choice.

During this time, no orders were given. The Iron Harrier units could only continue to charge.

At this time, although the heavy cavalry suffered heavy losses in the front, the accurate understanding of casualties had not yet entered the hearts of every cavalryman. Soon after, the Iron Harriers rushed to the artillery position like a furious tide, and more than a hundred cannons fired a hasty third round at this time. Less than a cup of tea had passed since the beginning of the war, and the great power of the Iron Harrier Charge was displayed. It tore through the defenses of the artillery formation, and the figure of the iron cavalry washed past.

Cavalry rushed across the land. The light cavalry troops led by Chang Da who rushed from the side originally had the idea of charging, but when they saw the breakthrough in the center of the iron cavalry, they finally made the decision to surround and harass the cavalry of the Black Flag Army.

Then, in front of everyone's eyes, the entire artillery position was drowned out by a stretch of explosions. Black smoke spreads, and the earth shakes.

Since the beginning of the war, bursts of explosions and smoke have embellished the entire battlefield like a nightmare, and the iron cavalry has been hit and affected in the rush, and the war horses have been frightened, colliding with each other and losing their combat effectiveness have occurred continuously, but as the most elite unit in Western Xia, the Iron Harrier still completed a breakthrough with its powerful charging ability, and it was only a breakthrough.

When the artillerymen dragged a small number of iron cannons to the edge of the battlefield in pursuit of the iron cavalry, the explosives stored in the more than 200 wooden boxes left on the entire middle formation exploded one after another, and the spreading black smoke swallowed everyone's vision like a surging wave. At the same time. The muffled sound of the horn grew louder, and the Black Flag Army, which had moved to the flanks, launched a general attack.

In the continuous explosions, the cavalry squad that was divided into the battlefield had basically lost its speed at this time. The infantry spread from all around, some of them pushing the iron horses forward, throwing them into the caravan, and they were clattered by the rushing heavy horses, and some of the iron harriers tried to make a close charge to break through - they were the elite of the Tangut people. Even if it is divided, it still has a good combat power and combat awareness at this time. It's just that morale has fallen to a cold bottom. And the Black Flag Army they are facing is also an elite army that can continue to fight even if it loses its formation.

The last resistance of the iron knight occasionally pushed people into a pool of blood, and spears, iron thorns, and horses were also overturning the war horses one by one, and the heavy hammer smashed against the heavy iron armor, making a terrible sound, and the flesh inside was almost shaken to the ground. Every time a horse fell, thick plasma gushed out below.

Luo Ye led his soldiers to push the iron rejection horse towards the direction of the enemy's commander's banner frantically, the position that had just passed through the explosion was filled with dust and smoke, and occasionally the cracked armor remnants rushed out of the dust, and the people who met the front first threw the rejection horse. The hook and sickle spear followed closely behind to stab and hook the horse's legs, and the hammer soldiers waited for the hammer to be smashed out at any time, and from time to time, there were also soldiers of the Black Flag Army who were slashed by the opponent's spears because they could not break the defense.

The final, real strength contest began to appear at this time, and the two sides collided together like cold and hard steel!

On the side of the battlefield, the 2,700 light cavalry led by Chang Da launched a death-defying assault on this side, and soon after, the sparse explosion sounded again, and the two thousand light cavalry on the side of the Black Flag Army rushed towards the opponent at the same high speed, and the two cavalry fought and fought on the field on the side like a long dragon......

And the war dragon is in the wild, and its blood is yellow. Thick blood stained the earth red.

Half an hour later. A battle that decided the situation in the entire Northwest had come to an end.

*************

The long wind was cloudy, and the horses occasionally ran through the fields under the clouds. On the land near Gyeongju in the northwest, a wave of Western Xia soldiers were distributed everywhere, feeling the breath of the mountain rain.

Some of these soldiers were originally stationed in the local area to supervise the collection of grain in various places, and some of them were due to the rebellion in Yanzhou, and the Western Xia general Lai Sele was killed and fled to the west. The horse team was the fastest, followed by the infantry, and after meeting their companions, they were taken in.

The defeated soldiers were exaggerating the horror of the bandits in the mountains. Although there has not yet been news of the enemy in many places on the front line, many people have known the news: at this time, a bandit is rushing in from the east, and they have bad intentions.

In the area of Yanzhou and Qingjian, although the Ganzhou Gansu Army led by Ji Ra Seller was not the most elite of the Western Xia Army, it could also be called the backbone. Coming westward, the garrison of Gyeongju at this time was mostly attached and heavy troops -- because the real main force had been pulled away from the two states not long ago, and under the premise of the rapid defeat of Yeonju, the Western Xia army in Gyeongju had no strength to fight.

The Wild Thorn had known about it two days earlier. He was one of the elites in the Gyeongju garrison at this time, originally a side of the Western Xia clan, he had studied since he was a child, received martial arts training, and was a member of the direct guard under the command of General Hao Rong at this time, when the first wave of news came. He knew the whole thing.

Even if he refused to believe that there were forces other than the Zhejia family in the northwest at this time who dared to touch the Western Xia Tiger Whiskers, and he did not believe that the opponent's combat power would be as high as the scouts said, it was an indisputable fact that the whole army was defeated when he died.

In order to deal with this sudden Black Flag army, Hao Rong released a large number of trustworthy members of the Guard and elite scouts. To the east, strengthen the news network and keep an eye on the situation of that army coming. The wild thorns were released more than 20 miles to the east, and they were guarded on the Ten Tiger Plain, keeping a close eye on the movements of the invading enemy. And last night, before the Black Flag Army passed through the Ten Tiger Plains, the Iron Harrier arrived first.

Only then did the wild thorns put their minds at ease, the Iron Harrier was famous all over the world, and how terrible his charge was, any Western Xia soldier knew it. Wild Thorns also have people who know them in the Iron Harrier Army. After talking to the other party that night, I learned that for the sake of this army, His Majesty was furious, and the entire army had returned to the east to stabilize the entire situation in the east. And the six thousand Iron Harriers are riding mightily to kill, no matter how powerful the other party is, they will be intercepted in the mountains right now, and they dare not mess around.

The next day it was cloudy. The Iron Harrier pulled out the camp and left shortly thereafter. The Wild Thorn received a message that the Black Flag Army had been found ahead, and the Iron Harrier was about to attack it. Ye Li Thorn ordered people to return to Gyeongju to spread the news, and he brought a few trusted subordinates with him, and he came to the east, and he wanted to be the first to confirm the news of the Iron Harrier's victory.

The sky was full of wind and clouds. From the mouth of the Ten Tiger Plains to Dong Zhiyuan, the earth is boundless. Wild Thorn and a few of his men galloped all the way, and then he heard a faint thunder in the east, and he lay on the ground and listened to the sound, and the message from the earth was chaotic. Fortunately, at this time, he could still see some traces of the passing of the army, and he pursued it all the way, and suddenly, he saw a fallen war horse in front of him.

The blood was red, the ground was littered with arrows, the horse had fallen from the bow, and its owner had fallen not far away, with several wounds on his body, and there was obviously a fierce battle before he died—this was actually a member of the Iron Harrier's lieutenant cavalry, and there were corpses in the distance.

It was the fallen Iron Harrier lieutenant again, and the wild thorn turned over and dismounted, only to see that the man had been stabbed in the chest several times, and his face was also slashed with a knife, and the wounds were terrible and boneless. Although the Iron Harrier home team is famous all over the world, the secondary soldiers are carefully selected by various clans, and they are often more powerful. This man was tall, with several old wounds on his hands, and judging from the clothes decorated with honor, he was also a battle-hardened warrior, and he did not know what kind of enemy he encountered, and he was beheaded like this.

And looking at the direction in which they ran and fell, it was clear that the direction in which the previous army was marching was opposite. Are you on the run?

The wind whimpered slightly, and the wild thorns were stunned for a moment for this thought in their hearts, and when they looked back, they could not accept it. There must be some other reason, he thought.

According to the time when the previous message came, it would not be long before the Iron Harrier and the other party went to war. 6,000 iron harriers, 3,000 iron horses, even if they encounter tens of thousands of troops, they will never be afraid, how can they escape? It is possible that the other party was killed and fled, and the light cavalry was chased all the way and several people were killed by the other party.

Thinking that this must be the case, he turned on his horse again, and before long he followed the black dust drifting in the sky to find the direction of the battle. Along the way, the terrible truth appeared in front of me. More and more cavalry fell on the road, most of them were the light cavalry lieutenants of the Iron Harrier, and in the distance, the outline of the battlefield had appeared. There was smoke and dust, and many figures were still moving.

There were no other living people nearby, and the wild thorns suppressed the ominous feeling in their hearts and continued to move on. He wanted to see a large number of Iron Harriers moving and cleaning up the battlefield, but the scene on the other side became clearer and clearer......

Mountains of corpses and a sea of blood, fallen heavy horses, eyes that could not be blinded, the black flags that fluttered diagonally, the steel helmets that were carried in people's hands, the thick blood dripping from people's bodies and the tip of their knives.

Farther away, there seemed to be a group of people taking off their iron armor, and the wild thorns couldn't understand the scene in front of them, and in the long field, at this time, there were troops they had never seen before, they were walking in the sea of blood, and some people were looking this way.

The Iron Harrier made a charge here and fell......

A small group of light horsemen rushed towards him, and something was beating his veins in the back of his head, and it seemed to choke the back of his head. The scalp of the wild thorns was numb, and he suddenly reined in the horse's head: "Go!" ”

He ran desperately to get away from the hellish sight......

*************

With a bang, someone pushed the body of the war horse to the ground, and the soldiers who were crushed below tried to get up, only to find that they had been pierced through the chest by a long sword and nailed to the ground.

"Damn! Damn-"

The Black Flag soldier scolded. The body struggled slightly, two hands held the hilt of the sword, and the person next to him also held the hilt, someone held him, and someone shouted: "What about people!" Where's the doctor!? Come on—"

"Damn—" Blood began to pour out of the soldier's mouth on the ground. There were frenzied sounds all around, and columns of smoke rose into the sky. Stretchers ran across the battlefield, over piles of corpses, and the soldiers on the ground kept their eyes open until their eyes faded. Not far away, Luo Ye lifted the helmet of an iron harrier heavy rider, the knight could still move, and suddenly swung a sword, Luo Ye stabbed him in the neck, stirred it, and blood sprayed on his body. It wasn't until there was a huge bloody aura around him that he stood up abruptly and pulled his helmet off with a brush.

"Mao Yishan! Where is it! Liao Duoting, Liao Duoting-"

There were all kinds of shouts around, and in the process of cleaning up the battlefield, some officers were constantly looking for traces of the soldiers under their command. Not many people cheered, even though the threat of killing and death was enough to bring an indescribable sense of relief to everyone, but only in this moment. Everybody is looking for what they can do, in those things. Feel the landing and rooting of a certain emotion in my heart.

At this moment, they truly feel their strength, as well as the weight of victory.

This weight comes from the strength of everyone around you.

The battle against the Iron Harrier had been expected too much in the past, until the battle took place. The whole process is too fast. For the Iron Harrier, the landslide-like rout in the huge explosion made people have no psychological expectations, but for the soldiers of the Black Flag Army, the subsequent collision was not fancy. If they're not strong enough. Even if they disrupted the formation of the Iron Harrier, they couldn't swallow this hard bone, but in the last tough battle, they forced the Iron Harrier into their stomachs.

In the battle of Yanzhou, the overly quick victory was still a little unrealistic for them, but this time, what everyone felt was really the strength of the blade.

But it also paid a price, the last stubborn resistance of some heavy cavalry caused a lot of casualties among the Black Flag soldiers, and on the side of the battlefield, in order to rescue the main force of the Iron Harrier who was deep in the quagmire, the light cavalry led by Chang Da launched a fierce attack on the center of the battlefield. Several cannons that had been removed in advance inflicted considerable casualties on the hussars, but could not change the momentum of the hussars. Liu Chengzong led 2,000 light cavalry to cut off the other party's charge, and nearly 5,000 cavalry on both sides launched a white-hot battle on the side of the battlefield.

For the retinue of these large families, if the master dies, they often live worse than they die, so the will of these people to resist is even more tenacious than the main force of the Iron Harrier.

Whether it is the melee on the main battlefield or the crazy fighting of the flank cavalry, the combat effectiveness and aggressiveness of the soldiers of the Black Flag Army under a high degree of organization and discipline are stronger than the heavy cavalry that the Western Xia is famous for.

Staggering, Mao Yishan got up from the pool of blood and felt a pain in his chest. In the melee, he and Hou Wu and others formed an array to fight with the heavy cavalry, and when a lone cavalry came from the side, Mao Yishan grabbed the shield and hit it from the side, and the whole person was knocked away.

There were fallen comrades beside him, and his head was buzzing a little, and it took a while for the sound to stop. He walked forward and saw his comrades-in-arms walking around him: "What's wrong?" ”

"What's wrong?"

In the other party's rhetorical question, Mao Yishan had already laughed slowly, and he already knew what was going on in his heart.

We've defeated the Iron Harrier.

**************

There was a clattering sound, and there was a mountain of steel armor piled up.

The captured heavy cavalry was gathering here, about four or five hundred people. They had already been forced to throw away their weapons and take off their armor. Watching the black flag flutter, the soldiers surrounded the surroundings. The silent one-eyed general stood to the side, looking into the distance.

A group of light horsemen was returning from there, and they had brought back some horses from behind, heavy helmets on them, and some men were tied with ropes behind them and ran forward.

The men were dragged forward, and one of them was tall and noble, but at this time his beard was disheveled and desolate. The more than 500 people who had surrendered looked at this man, and this man also swept his gaze over them, and then looked at the one-eyed general who was walking towards him.

"Wait...... What kind of demon magic is used. That person was none other than Sister Le, the leader of the Iron Harriers, who gritted his teeth and opened his mouth at this time, "If you anger the Western Xia, you will die sooner or later, if you want to live, let me go quickly, and follow me to ask Your Majesty for guilt!" ”

The one-eyed general stopped in front of him, passed for a moment, and spread his hands to the side: "Look at these people on the battlefield. ”

On the battlefield around them, the soldiers were stripping their steel armor from the Iron Harrier's corpse, and the smoke cleared, their bodies covered in blood, scars, and full of determination and strength. Mei Le turned her head, the sound of the long sword unsheathed had already sounded, Qin Shaoqian drew his sword and slashed his neck, and the blood was like a match. The head of the party leader flew out.

**************

Under the hazy sky, someone put armor on the war horse, there was still a little blood in the air, the heavily armored cavalry reappeared one after another, the knight on the horse also put on the armor, someone took the helmet and put it on.

"From this day on...... There are no more iron harriers. ”

On Dong Zhiyuan, the collision of the two armies was like thunder, and the shock caused by it spread like thunder soon after, raging out.

At this time, the number of combatants of the Black Flag Army had been reduced to 7,000, almost all the elm artillery had been exhausted in this battle, and the shells were close to the bottom, except for the ironclad heavy cavalry, which rose to more than 1,500 after the defeat of the Iron Harrier. After Xia Village, to the rebellion of the king, and then after a year of training in Xiaocanghe, the combat effectiveness of this army finally took shape and stabilized for the first time after showing its edge.

And in front of them, the 70,000-strong army of the king of Western Xia advanced over. After receiving the news that the Iron Harrier had almost completely annihilated, the mood of the upper echelons of the Western Xia court was close to collapse, but at the same time, they gathered all the troops that could be gathered, including the defenders and grain supervisors in Wonju and Gyeongju, all of whom were gathering towards Li Qianshun's main force. By the day of 27 June, the entire army, including the light cavalry, the infantry, the crossbow, the capture, the poxi, and other arms, had exceeded 100,000 men, and they were like giants, and they were pressing mightily towards the army that was resting in the east.

Xiao Canghe, Ning Yi sat on the hillside outside the courtyard to enjoy the shade, the old man came over, for the first time in the past few days, he did not open his mouth to debate Confucianism with him. Yesterday morning, he confirmed the Black Flag Army's frontal defeat of the Iron Harriers, and today, he confirmed another piece of news.

"After you have defeated the Iron Harrier...... Still refusing to withdraw? ”

"yes." Ning Yi pinched his fingers, looked ahead, and replied.

“…… Alas. The old man hesitated for a long time, and finally sighed. No one knew what he was sighing about.

In the city of Gyeongju, there are not many Western Xia people left, Lou Shuwan stood by the window of the inn, looking at the sky that was about to darken in the east.

100,000 people have already pushed over, but the other party has not moved.

Everything that had happened in the past few days made her feel a chill and trembling from the bottom of her heart, and everything that the man who had been hiding in the mountains since the murder of the king showed in this crisis made her have an unattainable and even unimaginable sense of madness, the kind of barbarism and bestiality that swept everything, and a few years ago, there was an army that swept the world.

She can understand Li Qianshun's difficulties. As long as that army made a slight move, whether it was retreating or dodging, the Western Xia army could have more choices, but the other party did not have it at all. The military newspaper said that there were 10,000 people on the other side, but the real number is probably less than that. The other party did not move, so the army of 100,000 could only continue to push over.

The plight of the Tangut people was not important to her, but the important thing was that in today's dream, she dreamed of him again. Just like the first time we met in Hangzhou, that scholar with a polite and polite temperament...... After she woke up, until now, her body was faintly shivering, and she didn't know whether to be excited or frightened by the things in her dreams, but in short, the summer sun seemed to have no temperature......

God, please...... Kill him......

Gyeongju, battle clouds gather! (To be continued.) )
