The tactics of the Western Xia people still stayed in the original tactics, in the cognition of the unconcealed Pang, 300,000 ambush soldiers were enough to disrupt the military formation of the Great Song Dynasty, and the garrison soldiers of Xingqing Mansion were fully capable of encircling inside and outside, and the Song army became a turtle in the urn, and the Song army under the attack would be defeated.

But he was wrong, Di Qing had already prepared a strategy to deal with the Western Xia ambush army, and the word stability was the most distinctive feature of the Great Song army.

Yang Huaiyu played the banner to the Southern Route Army as soon as the Western Xia ambush appeared, and the Southern Route Army, which was mainly based on foot soldiers, was most suitable for dealing with the cavalry of the Western Xia people, and they had already built an offensive against the cavalry on the flank of the Great Song Army formation, so it can be said that the artillery in the army formation was actually the bait to lure the Western Xia people.

The powerful destructive power of artillery made the Tangut people fearful, and it was bound to take artillery as the main target, and where the focus of the attack was, the focus of the defense of the Great Song Dynasty would also be. It was a psychological contest, and from the very beginning the Tanguts were misguided......

The so-called attack on Xingqing Mansion was actually just to lure the appearance of the Western Xia ambush army, and once this hidden enemy entered the Song army's field of vision, his threat basically disappeared.

Sure enough, Wuzang Kongshan led 300,000 reinforcements to rush towards the Great Song Army like a black cloud, and their target was the deafening artillery position, and the Southern Route Army had already been ready again.

There are various ways to deal with the cavalry, the thistle sprinkled on the ground is the first line of defense, the small thistle terrestris is not conspicuous on the ground, and it is smeared by the Song army with the eyes of not many vehicles on the ground, it looks empty from a distance, but when it is really close to the discovery, it can no longer be stopped.

There are holes in the center of the thistle, which can be connected with ropes in series, so as to lay and collect, a string of thistles is frantically splashed on the open space in front of the army by the soldiers, this thing is the simplest, there is no need for special arrangement at all, it has four iron thorns stretched out, several inches long, where there is a thorn facing upwards when it lands, the simple principle saves time and effort.

Of course, in addition to being used to resist the foot ride, this thing also has a very good alarm effect, the moon is dark and the wind is high on the night to reach out and not see the five fingers, if the enemy accidentally steps on the sharp thistle, the alarm effect can be imagined......

In order to achieve better results, Song Jun also "intimately" smeared poison on these sharp little things...... It is called "ghost arrow", which means that it cannot be prevented.

Not only the thistle, but also the three treasures of the Great Song Dynasty against the cavalry, the trap of the horse, the rejection of the horse gun, the ratchet crossbow, these four kinds of equipment are matched high and low, forming an invisible line of defense, but the damage to the cavalry is great.

The 300,000 army naturally cannot all be cavalry, the capture army of the Tangut people, the proton army, the iron harrier, the foot bazi and so on all appeared in this 300,000 army, obviously people in this era have found that the composite arms are more effective than the single arms.

This is not only the case in the Western Xia, but also in the Great Song Dynasty and the Liao Dynasty, and there are very few formations composed of cavalry or infantry in the army, and this advanced combat concept has existed in China for a long time.

The war with such a large number of people has long been beyond the control of the generals, and even the commander Di Qing can only slightly control the command of the Chinese army on all directions, or send orders to shrink, or order to advance, or send orders to reinforce.

The outcome of every war is almost unpredictable, what the army can do is to arm itself as much as possible, keep the formation unchanged as much as possible, and what the soldiers can do is to do their part as much as possible, as far as possible not to be scattered and see their own marquis, command.

As long as the military formation is not chaotic, it doesn't matter if it is slightly deformed, in this era, if the military formation is not dispersed, it is invincible!

The advantage of the Song army is precisely to maintain the stability of the military formation, the disciplined Song army is like a reef in the waves, trying to resist the attack of the Western Xia people like a tide, the role of the flank is the greatest at this time, the soldiers of the Southern Route Army shouted: "Now we finally know why we are on the flank, this is not idle work at all, we are the vanguard of the army!" ”

The deep voice of the Mo knife hand spread far away, and the soldiers around them were not resentful, but laughed, the more they wielded the Mo knife in their hands, the harder they wielded, the more cold the spear in their hands, the faster they stirred the ratchet, the Xixia people in front of them were nothing else, they were all shining military feats!

Although the Western Xia ambush soldiers had a huge number of 300,000, there were also many soldiers in the Great Song Dynasty, and they were also 300,000, which were dozens of miles away, and even if there was pressure, they would have been dispersed long ago, even if the main offensive artillery of the party was located, they could not put so many soldiers.

The tactics of the Xixia people are still the same, with the cavalry as the guide, the infantry gallops behind, as long as they resist the cavalry in the front, the rest of the infantry is much easier, the twisting sound of the ratchet crossbow is crisp and pleasant, this is the long-range weapon of the Great Song Dynasty, after several changes it has been quite light, but the power has risen and fallen.

Buzz Buzz...... When the second wave of Xixia cavalry entered the firing range, the "dark clouds" rose into the air with the sound of tooth-sour crossbows, and formed a deadly rain of arrows in an arc in the air.

When the first wave of arrows fell, the second wave was already instantaneous, and the ratchet crossbow of the Great Song Dynasty was wound extremely fast, and it was carried out in three columns of rounds, inflicting wave after wave of fatal blows to the enemy.

The rain of arrows shot the cavalry and foot soldiers of the Western Xia like a strawman full of feathered arrows, and some people could actually hit more than ten crossbow arrows, which was already a saturation blow on the field, how to block such a dense rain of arrows?

Even a shield is useless, because these arrows rain are mixed with heavy arrows designed to pierce armor, and wooden shields are useless even if they are covered with cowhides, and the iron ones are a little better, but arrows can also penetrate the shield and pierce the hands of the soldiers, and once he shakes in pain, the dense rain of arrows will still take him away.

With the appearance of the Western Xia ambush, the artillery of the Great Song Dynasty also stopped temporarily, and when the artillery was not so hot, buckets of cold water were constantly poured on the cannon, which was to prevent it from exploding hot and cold.

Artillery also has a lifespan, because of the need for railways in the Great Song Dynasty, iron-making technology has been improved, and the artillery of the Great Song Dynasty now uses the copper core of the iron cannon, which is a very practical and cost-reducing method, but such iron cannons have just been popularized, and there are not many in the army, many of them are still the original copper cannons, even so, the deterrence of the Xixia people is huge.

In addition, there is a return cannon for throwing stones, this thing has been able to throw hundreds of pounds of stones in the hands of the craftsmen of the Great Song Dynasty, and many important parts have been replaced with iron tools, so that the load and range naturally increase, and the stone bullets it fires can be seen everywhere, the cost is almost zero compared with the artillery, and it is deliberately fired all the time, causing a huge and unpaid attack on the party members.
