Although the Western Xia army was sometimes loose and sometimes rebellious, it was absolutely fast, since the commander was desperate, the soldiers also figured it out, stretched out their heads and shrunk their heads, it was better to act quickly and neatly.

Besides, the Song army fled all the way, seeing that the smoke and dust were already four or five miles away, and now they were chasing immediately, at least they could hang them with their tails, once the Song army had enough time and really retracted into the cramped mountain road deep in the valley, it would be completely useless. Don't make a mistake when Li Ningming makes a mistake, and orders himself and others to change from cavalry to infantry to charge with two calves like other infantry, then it's a joke.

The soldiers quickly mounted their horses and formed a team, and the hundreds of soldiers who had made mistakes were really arranged at the front of the team, and with an order, the three thousand cavalry swept down like a gust of wind and chased after the Song army.

Along the way, there were still boxes of cages and food bags scattered on the official road, but this time, no one dared to get off the horse and rob them, so they only aimed at the position with the corner of their eyes, and looked for an opportunity to sneak it when they turned around.

Ten miles of road chased down, until the mouth of the valley can see the back of the Song army fleeing into the valley in embarrassment, leading the forward 1,000 cavalry did not dare to be too aggressive, ordered the soldiers to stop and wait for the follow-up troops, and listen to Li Ningming's further instructions.

Li Ningming then arrived, and immediately squinted his eyes at the mouth of the eagle's beak cliff valley, but saw a piece of smoke and dust billowing out, mixed with the sound of ghosts crying and wolf howling, and the figure of the Song Army's pig suddenly running away from time to time in the smoke and dust, a panicked image.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, the last general will ask His Highness to think twice, the situation in the valley is unknown, once it is the Song army's plan to lure the enemy, once we enter the valley, it will be troublesome." Yeli Xianzong wanted to make a final effort.

"How about I allow General Yeli to stay outside the valley?" Li Ningming teased.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, the last general doesn't mean that, the last general means ......"

"I understand what you mean, you don't have to explain, let's tell you the truth, even if it is the Song army's plan to lure the enemy, I can only admit that I was indeed attracted, so many materials, weapons and property, plus the disparity in strength, even if it is a plan, what should I do? What we have to do now is not to hesitate, but to fight quickly and quickly, and then we will go away with the spoils of war; The Song people like to use stratagems, but my party likes to be straightforward, and today I want to teach the Song people to understand that in the face of absolute strength, any stratagem is a ridiculous trick. ”

Yeli Xianzong sighed, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is iron-hearted; He did not dare to dissuade too much, admittedly the amount of this batch of supplies was huge and very tempting, and even if he really let him choose, he would be inclined to attack rather than retreat; The reason why Yeli Xianzong reminded him again and again is that he is a faint worry based on actual combat experience, and secondly, this is something that must be done as a subordinate.

In Yeli Xianzong's view, even if he can't get his hands on it, it can be done by retreating with his whole body, but after returning to the camp, it is the time to settle accounts after the autumn, and when settling accounts, he will inevitably be a scapegoat as a deputy general, and it is safer to make a foreshadowing first.

"Sons, the time has come to show the majesty of my Great Xia warriors, those who bravely kill the enemy today will be rewarded twice when they go back, and one of the enemy's heads will be promoted to the team, two will be promoted to the head, and five will be promoted to captain, and the title of warrior will be given; Whoever shrinks back and fears the enemy will be killed! ”

Li Ningming's sharp voice echoed in everyone's ears, some people were happy and some were worried, and more people were indifferent, the veteran soldier knew that he didn't promise thousands of promises before the charge, and in the end, in addition to giving some rewards, the official position was a thing that had no shadow at all, but then again, even if he didn't appreciate anything on the battlefield, what could he do if he didn't say a good word? Aren't you going to rush with your head up?

The cavalry team is divided into three echelons, the first echelon is the hundreds of soldiers who have made mistakes, Li Ningming's intention is obvious, that is, these hundreds of people will be charged for the dead ghosts, as long as these hundreds of people rush to the enemy to disrupt the enemy's position, the cavalry behind will be easier to charge in front of the Song army.

A long horn echoed in the valley, and the attack of the Western Xia army began, and more than 200 riders rushed into the valley with scimitars, and the horse's hooves stepped on the yellow sand and flew, adding suffocating sand and dust to the scorching air under the hot sun.

Beads of sweat beaded on the tip of Li Ningming's nose, and he looked at the formation of the charge and the reaction of the Song army without blinking, and he didn't even have time to drive away a fly that was haunting him.

The cavalry of the 200 Xia Army charged all the way, rolling up a strong whirlwind, and after a while, they turned into the bend of the Eagle's Beak Cliff, and saw the back of the Song army continuing to retreat at a glance; The wide and flat valley floor is a good place for cavalry to crisscross and criss, and the two hundred Xia army death squads rushed behind the Song army without hindrance, and the scimitar flashed and had already put down several Song soldiers.

The soldiers of the Song army crowded on the cart and hurriedly responded to the battle, attacking the enemy in vain with the blades in their hands, but how to be the opponent of the cavalry, the other party lifted the spear hanging on the side of the saddle from a distance, and by rushing forward, it could penetrate the chests of two or three Song soldiers at once, like a skewer of barbecue.

A Western Xia cavalryman pursed his lips and whistled, and the sharp whistle sounded through the canyon, which was the agreed whistle, indicating that he had engaged the Song army and there was no ambush.

Li Ningming shouted loudly when he heard this, pointed forward with the treasure knife in his hand, and shouted in poetic language: "Chong, let your saddle be full of the enemy's head, let your waist be full of the enemy's gold and silver, for the glory of the Great Xia warriors, rush!" ”

Suddenly, the whistle shouted and killed loudly, and more than 2,000 horsemen fought bravely to be the first, and rushed into the valley like a raging wind.

……

Su Jin, Di Qing and the others stood far away in the eagle's beak cliff, everything in the valley was in full view, and behind him, Ma Han saw that the enemy's vanguard horse team had begun to slaughter the fallen soldiers, and shouted anxiously: "Son, quickly order a counterattack, these dogs are slaughtering our soldiers." ”

Su Jin's face was grim and motionless, and the corner of his eye glanced at Di Qing who was like a cast iron beside him, and secretly admired Di Qing's concentration in his heart; Di Qing also had a new understanding of Su Jin, both of them understood that these two hundred soldiers were just death squads, and now if they ordered a counterattack, the two thousand eight hundred cavalry outside would immediately pat their butts and run away, this battle must be sacrificed, and those soldiers who were killed after falling could only be discarded as pawns to confuse the enemy.

Su Jin was in a trance, and he didn't know when he had started all kinds of behaviors that he had criticized before, but now he found that they were normal and could no longer be normal behaviors; In other words, he must have scolded the generals for being cold-blooded and careless of the lives of the soldiers, but now he can order to save those people, but he is unwilling to give the order, from the overall situation, the sacrifice of these people is worth it, of course, it is extremely unfair to these soldiers, but what thing in this world is absolutely fair?

"It's ......," Su Jin said lightly.

"Yes, congratulations, my lord, your plan to lure the enemy has finally succeeded." Di Qing smiled.

"The rest is under the command of Di, and I am not good at fighting." Su Jin said with a smile.

"Lord Su is too humble, Lord Su is not ambiguous at all when he fights, Di Qing is willing to bow down; However, since Di Qing is here, he can't teach the adults to do everything, and the rest of the things will be handed over to the lowly position, and Lord Su is here to enjoy the show. ”

Su Jin laughed and arched his hand: "It's hard work." ”

Di Qing's eagle eyes were shining, and he slowly took out a bronze mask from his arms and put it on his face, and suddenly the whole person was as sharp as a blade, and the fanged mask was hideous and terrifying, making people dare not take a second look.

The brigade of Western Xia soldiers rolled in, dozens of breaths later, the front end of the valley mouth was already densely packed with the figure of the enemy cavalry, the sound of whistles and strange screams resounded through the valley, and the cold light of the scimitar waved a snow-white light curtain in the sun, and the people who watched were dizzy.

Di Qing stretched out his hand and picked up a longbow beside him, bent the bow and shot it towards the sky, and the sharp arrow dragged a long tail straight into the sky, and at the same time, several piles of wolf smoke were lit on the top of the cliff, and the black smoke column went straight to the sky.

Li Ningming caught a glimpse of the smoke pillar on the top of the cliff, and his first reaction was: I have been tricked, this is obviously reporting to reinforcements somewhere. But the horse team was in a hurry, even if he knew that he couldn't stop, Li Ningming gritted his teeth and shouted: "Rush!" ”

One thousand cavalry of the second echelon was directly ahead, and the eight hundred cavalry of the third echelon led by Li Ningming galloped thirty paces apart along the footprints of the cavalry in front.

At this moment, the second sound of the Song army's arrow shot into the sky, and suddenly dozens of long ropes suddenly popped up in the smoke and dust on the ground, like dozens of poisonous snakes dying on the ground suddenly jumped up and devoured people, and the sharp-eyed Xixia cavalry saw dozens of Song soldiers suddenly jumping out of the sand under the rock wall, and it was they who suddenly pulled up more than a dozen long ropes that were originally spread on the ground like withered vines and were not noticeable.

"Not good! There are trips. Someone exclaimed.

But it's just a shout, the long ropes are all thick hemp ropes, under the joint pull of seven or eight Song soldiers at both ends, they are immediately stretched straight, more than a dozen long ropes form a barrier, and the legs of the horses that run quickly are tripped by the long ropes, and they suddenly roll over.

Dozens of soldiers on both sides of the huge impact belt who were holding the tripping rope flew forward, bleeding from their mouths and noses, and some of them even fell to the cliff wall and burst their brains.

But after all, Changsuo has already made a contribution, as long as there are three or five war horses falling in the charging formation, at least thirty or fifty will suffer, not to mention that not only three or five have fallen, but dozens of them.

Just like dominoes, the fall of dozens of war horses was exchanged for a rolling gourd, and when the horse turned over on his back, someone with superb riding skills restrled the horse and hurriedly looked for Li Ningming.

Li Ningming was at the end of the team, but he was not injured, but the rolling hooves and human body in front of him made him tremble, and something that made him even more frightened happened, behind him was the exit of the eagle's beak cliff, but at this moment, the rumbling sound was loud, and the ground trembled, only to see dozens of Song soldiers on the top of the cliff on both sides were pushing huge rocks and felled trees to block the entrance.

Li Ningming was shocked, his heart was cold, this is a way to cut off the back road, is this to trap all his three thousand cavalry under this eagle's beak cliff? It seems that Song Jun's appetite is really not small.
