So Gao Shandu immediately ordered Wei Mu Yanping to lead 10,000 cavalry to attack the left flank of the Song army, let Wuzang Anhuan lead 10,000 cavalry to attack the right flank of the Song army, and let Ye Likui and Dong Mingzhao lead 30,000 infantry troops to attack the middle of the Song army in turn. It is hoped that taking advantage of the many Western Xia troops will take turns to attack the heavy armor and hemp sword formation of the Song army.

This Western Xia army is the main force, the strength is ten times that of the last time, and the momentum is naturally several times larger, because the middle road is a foot army, the first to dispatch, 30,000 troops like a tide, approaching the Song army's formation.

The tactics of the Song army remained the same, and they still attacked the Western Xia army from a distance with bows and crossbows. However, this time the Western Xia army launched a full-scale attack, and the Song army's crossbowmen had to take care of the enemy forces on the left and right, so the forces were scattered and the strike was much smaller. Moreover, the infantry army is different from the cavalry, although the speed of advance is much slower, but the soldiers in the front row are holding tower shields more than one person high, and the soldiers in the back row are also holding shields obliquely, erecting a shield wall, and the protection is much stronger than that of the cavalry.

At this time, the infantry of the Western Xia army was only more than a hundred steps away from the Song army's formation, and although it was hit by the Song army's bow and arrow on the way forward, it did not suffer much loss. Takayama was apparently pleased with this result, and immediately ordered the cavalry on both flanks to attack as well.

For a time, thousands of horses galloped, and the sound of hooves was like thunder. The cavalry of the Western Xia army quickly circled the flanks of the Song army and launched an attack.

Because he was fighting on the desert Gobi, Yang Yan saw the Western Xia army's attack method clearly, and immediately passed down the order to deal with it. The Song army also immediately changed its formation according to the order, and the heavily armored hemp sword system was divided into two and moved to the two wings respectively, and the crossbowmen also immediately turned and attacked the Western Xia cavalry attacking the two wings instead. However, the middle road of the Song army is wide open.

"Ang-ang-ang-"

At this time, the elephant army let out a roar, from the Song army's formation, this time the Song army dispatched three hundred war elephants, divided into five rows, each row of sixty heads, each war elephant is separated by two zhang distance, horizontally spread out more than 250 steps, and on both sides of each war elephant, there are eight Song soldiers to protect, take heavy steps, to meet the Western Xia army.

And the mountains watching the battle in the Western Xia army were nervous for a while, and at the same time, there was also a trace of expectation, and finally they had to see the true strength of the Song army's elephant army.

Watching the huge body approaching him, he brought a sense of oppression that he had never experienced before; The limbs, thick as pillars, struck the earth heavily, making a dull thunderous sound; The proboscis shakes from side to side, which is terrifying; The bright fangs stretched out in front of him, making him even more hideous and terrifying.

In the face of such an enemy, even a veteran of a hundred battles will change color, not to mention the Western Xia army, which has been in battle for a long time. And these days, there have been a lot of legends about elephants in the Xixia military camp, describing elephants as strange and everything, so in the hearts of every Xixia soldier, the elephant has left a very deep imprint. Now that I finally saw the real thing, not only was I not relieved, but I felt more terrible than the legend, facing the elephant army that rushed towards me, many Western Xia soldiers were so frightened that they trembled all over, and they couldn't even hold their swords and guns.

The distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, and the elephant army in the first row almost trotted towards the Western Xia army, and without hesitation, they crashed into the shield wall of the Western Xia army.

How can a man fight an elephant in a brute force competition? As soon as the two sides came into contact, the Western Xia soldiers were knocked down by the elephants, and they were knocked down by the elephants at once, and the entire shield wall was immediately washed to pieces, embarrassed. But the elephants all stepped on the bodies of the Western Xia soldiers who were hit as if nothing had happened, and continued to move forward. The Song army, which protected both sides of the elephant, also followed closely and mercilessly killed the fallen Western Xia soldiers. Even if he was lucky enough to escape the impact of the elephant army in the first row, he was followed by the second row and the third row, and he couldn't dodge it at all.

Compared to this behemoth, human power seemed almost insignificant at this time. In addition, the war elephant is also covered with heavy armor, and the elephant army that kills into the Western Xia army is almost unstoppable, hitting with the body, stepping on it with a giant palm, and hitting it with a long nose, the huge body itself is a terrible weapon, and it can also be attacked with a weapon mounted on the armor, no one can match it at all, and there are Song soldiers on the elephant's back, or with spears, bows and arrows, both near and far, constantly killing and seeing the Western Xia army, the Western Xia army can only be knocked down, trampled, or killed by the Song soldiers who follow the elephant's back and on both sides.

Only when you see it with your own eyes will you know how terrible the frontal impact of the elephant army is, and the huge body containing great strength, full of malice, in front of the Western Xia army, is like a huge horizontal log running over, ruthlessly overwhelming and shattering everything in front of you, as if nothing can stop them. After the elephant army, 10,000 Song troops were killed, followed by the elephant army, and advanced to the Western Xia army.

Although he had made sufficient psychological preparations before the start of the battle, Gao Shan was still so frightened by the fighting power of the elephant army at this time that he was speechless, it was simply too strong, even if it was an "iron harrier", it did not have such a terrible impact. It is no wonder that the last time the Western Xia army was defeated in the hands of the Song army. Gao Shan asked himself in his heart, in the face of such a terrible opponent, does the Western Xia Army still have a chance to win? And Lang Yantongjin, who had bandaged his wounds, was even more frightened, and secretly rejoiced in his heart, fortunately he didn't run into the elephant army when he went up, otherwise he would still be alive.

Now there are only two ways in front of Gao Shandu, one is to withdraw the army immediately while the losses are not serious now, and most of the living forces can be preserved. But this time the battle was completely the result of his own demand, and if he was defeated like this, what face would he have to meet those who opposed the sending of troops. Gao Shandu regretted it deeply at this time, knowing that this was the case, he really shouldn't have taken the initiative to ask for an order to fight in front of the monarch.

The second is to put all the remaining men and horses, including the "Iron Harrier", into the battle, although the elephant army is powerful, but after all, the number is limited, so as long as the 30,000 infantry army is used to contain the elephant army, and the left and right flanks of the Song army are not without a chance to win. However, once defeated, then the loss of the Western Xia army is very large, this is the last living force of the Western Xia, if it is buried here, not only will he not have the face to go back to see the emperor, but also go underground to see Wei Ming Jizhong, I am afraid that he will be speechless.

Gao Shan looked at the remaining men and horses around him, and then looked at the Western Xia army that was killed by the Song army and kept retreating, and was about to retreat to the main formation. Although Takayama also knew that there was no time to hesitate any longer, he could not make a decision.

But at this moment, the battlefield changed again. I saw that the elephant army, which had been advancing steadily, suddenly separated from it, giving way to a road more than ten zhang wide, only to see a group of cavalry of the Song army out of it, led by a silver-armored white horse general, so that a brass stick, dancing like the wind, the Western Xia soldiers who stopped in front of her were all beaten to the head and blood, broken bones and tendons, and in a blink of an eye, this Song army cavalry broke through the defeated army of the Western Xia army, and rushed straight to the Chinese army where the high mountain capital was.

At this time, Gao Shan saw clearly that this Song army was actually full of armor, but everyone was wearing a white robe, and the Song general who was the leader was still a woman.

After the defeat of the Western Xia army and the return to Xingqing Mansion, the Song army mentioned was the artillery that had not been able to clean up so far, except for the elephant army. Because the impression of these two weapons is so profound that the Western Xia army ignores it, in fact, the Song army also has an all-armored cavalry army.

This time, Yang Yan had already thought of tactics. As soon as the Western Xia army attacked the middle lane, it used heavy armor and hemp sword formations to cooperate with crossbowmen to deal with it, slowly consuming the strength of the Western Xia army. If the Western Xia army focuses on attacking the two wings of the Song army, then the strength of the middle road will inevitably be weak, so the Song army will take the initiative to attack, first use the elephant army to rush across the formation of the Western Xia army, and then suddenly kill by the Jujia cavalry, directly take the commander of the Chinese army of the Western Xia army, implement the chiseling tactics of capturing the thief and capturing the king first, and take the head of the general in the million army.

And the candidate to perform this task naturally fell to Zhao Yueru. This is also the habitual division of labor between the husband and wife, one stays at the end to command the whole army to fight, and the other takes the lead and leads the Song army to lead the charge. Through the battle just now, the Song army had already found the command position of the Western Xia army, so after the elephant army attacked, Zhao Yueru and Wei Chang led two thousand armored cavalry troops, followed closely behind the elephant army, and when the time was ripe, they immediately led the army to kill.

Although the Song army is also fully armored, it is not all iron armor, and the weight of the armor is much lighter than that of the "Iron Harrier" and "Iron Futu". Therefore, although the Song army's armored cavalry was inferior in terms of protection, its short-distance gallop and sprint speed were not inferior to ordinary light cavalry.

These two thousand armored cavalry soldiers belong to the first and second generals of the Ma Jun Si Xiao cavalry army, and since they arrived in Lanzhou, they have never fought any hard field, but only tried their skills when they were half-crossing by the Yellow River. Seeing that in these battles, it was the artillery army and the elephant army that made great achievements, so that every armored cavalry was full of breath in their hearts, you must know that the predecessor of the horse army division Xiao cavalry army was the selection of the front army of the year, the famous "white robe army", until today, the whole army is still wearing white robes to fight. Therefore, at this time, everyone naturally fought bravely to deal with the disheartened Xixia infantry of their own army in the early morning, it was like chopping melons and vegetables, only to kill the Western Xia army fell to the ground one after another, and Zhao Yueru opened the way in front, so it broke through the defeated army of Western Xia effortlessly, and went straight to the Chinese army in Gaoshan Capital.

After breaking through the formation of the Western Xia army, it was only a few dozen steps away from the Western Xia Central Army. Because the Song army came too quickly, there were nearly 30,000 horses and 1,000 "iron harriers" in the Western Xia army at this time, but the Song army appeared too suddenly, and they didn't react at once, and they could only watch the Song army go straight to the high mountain capital.

Zhao Yueru put down the coiling dragon stick, picked up the bow and set up the arrow, and shot three arrows in a row with "whoosh, whoosh, whoosh". I saw that under the handsome banner of the Western Xia army, three people fell off their horses. One of them was the general of the banner of the Western Xia Army, he was killed by an arrow, and the banner of the "Shuai" character of the Western Xia Army was immediately in charge and fell to the ground at once.

Gao Shan couldn't help but be frightened, and involuntarily pulled the horse's head and retreated backwards. When the other generals around him saw it, they all pulled their horses and fled with Gao Shan.

Only Lang Yan Tongjin didn't know what to do, so he urged him to step forward, raised the big knife in his hand, and slashed at Zhao Yueru's head. Zhao Yueru rotated the dragon stick, struck with all his strength, the knife and stick hit each other, and Lang Tongjin only felt that his chest was like being struck, and the big knife took off his hand, and he opened his mouth and spurted out a mouthful of blood. The two horses staggered, and Zhao Yueru struck with a backhand with the tail of the stick, which was like stabbing in the back of the heart of Lang Tongjin, who immediately cut off the war horse and lay his corpse on the battlefield.

After killing the Lang Yantong Jin, Zhao Yueru led the Song army, ignoring the others, and chased closely behind, forcing Gao Shan and the others to fight their horses and walk tightly, and they didn't even have the time to turn back. At this time, the defeated army also retreated to the formation of the Western Xia army, and although the other horses wanted to fight, they were rushed by the defeated army and could not maintain the formation, so they had to retreat together.

But at this time, the other Western Xia troops on the battlefield saw that the banner of the commander had fallen, and they didn't know whether Gao Shan was dead or alive, and their hearts were in turmoil. And at this time, there was no one to command, and I didn't know whether to advance or retreat. There was a big mess immediately.

Yang Yan saw clearly from the high platform, and immediately ordered the remaining cavalry of the Song army to also attack immediately, attacking the Western Xia army on both flanks, and all the other horses were also dispatched to counterattack the Western Xia army with all their might. Even the archers and crossbowmen were killed together, and the Western Xia army was originally disheartened at this time, and was counterattacked by the Song army with all its might, and immediately could not be defeated, and they were defeated and retreated.

At this time, even Gao Shan knew that the defeat of the Western Xia army was determined, and the general trend was gone, so he had to make a mistake and lead the army to defeat. But fortunately, he was defeated early, and the loss of men and horses was less than 10,000, so the loss was not big. But he didn't dare to fight with the Song army anymore, and led the army back to Xingqing Mansion.

However, after the defeated army retreated to Xingqing Mansion, it once again caused a new round of panic in the Western Xia court. The last fiasco of Wei Ming Jizhong can be said to be a deception of the Song army, which was attacked halfway when crossing the river in Western Xia, not a dignified battle. But this time, the strength of the Western Xia army was almost three times that of the Song army, and the two sides also opened a battle line in the field, completely frontal combat, but they were still defeated by the Song army and returned. Therefore, in the Western Xia army, the fear of the Song army almost reached the extreme, and there was a saying that the Song army was coming, and even a three-year-old child did not dare to cry.

Many officials made suggestions to Li Renxiao, asking the imperial court to negotiate peace with the Song Dynasty again. And Li Renxiao was even more depressed, and was about to send someone to the Song army to negotiate peace again, when the news came, and Monk Wanyan Chen led the Jin army to Xingqing Mansion.
