In the evening, Han Wang Xiao Hui led the forward army of 50,000 iron cavalry to the north of the valley of Kedun City, and from a distance, dozens of black smoke rose from the hill, staining the sky in the distance, and his subordinates hurriedly informed Xiao Hui that he had learned.

Xiao Hui rode his horse to the front of the team, put his hand on the pergola and looked at the sky in the distance, and saw that the smoke was like a pillar, and there was some pungent smell on the end of his nose, and he couldn't help laughing.

The left and right knew each other very well, and they hurriedly asked with laughter: "Why is the king laughing?" ”

Xiao Hui pointed to the dark smoke and said: "Xiao Bise's death has not changed, when he went north to conquer the Mongolian tribes last year, he did such a thing, and after capturing the first city, he wantonly burned and slaughtered the city, this time the old trick was repeated, but Duncheng is afraid that it has become a piece of charcoal; But fortunately, this move can be regarded as a morale boost, and everyone saw the blood and let go of their hands and feet, which was quite good for the later battle. ”

The generals smiled: "Sure enough, General Xiao is estimated to be happy with the party beauty." ”

Xiao Hui said: "He dares!" Send someone to the canyon ahead to take a look, Xiao Biser should leave someone to greet him, which was said in advance. ”

A general ordered dozens of horsemen to rush into the valley, and after a while, he hit his horse and returned to report: "I didn't see the person who greeted me, General Xiao thought he had forgotten." ”

Xiao Hui frowned and said, "Forgot? Xiao Bise has never been sloppy in military affairs, how could he forget this? ”

All the generals said: "It's nothing to forget something if you kill red eyes, king, it's getting late, the army is sleepy, let's cross the valley quickly and enter the city to camp." ”

Xiao Hui thought for a while and said: "Okay, give the order to go down, the rear army will pass first, and the Chinese army will wait in place. ”

The generals suddenly agreed, the Chinese army dodged the passage on the spot, and the rear army's 5,000 cavalry entered the valley first to open the road, and then the large hammers such as heavy grain and grass, catapults, siege crossbow carts, etc., slowly passed through.

The winter sun sank fast, and when the 20,000 baggage teams of the rear army had just entered halfway, the sun had disappeared at the end of the horizon, and then the sky suddenly became dark, and the temperature suddenly became colder.

"King, teach the brothers to get off their horses and burn some bonfires to warm up, and the eggs are frozen so that they are retracted into their stomachs."

Xiao Hui turned his head to look around, and saw the soldiers curled up on their horses one by one, looking at themselves with blank eyes, and scolded: "A group of cowardly eggs, one person in charge of the security will issue a powder, and you will not shout half a cold word when you pick up your clothes and do things in the ice and snow." ”

The soldiers laughed, and Xiao Hui himself laughed, waving his hand: "Get off your horse and light a bonfire to keep warm, but you need to be vigilant." ”

The soldiers were thunderous with joy, and they dismounted and pulled some thorns and dead grass on the wasteland to light a bonfire, thousands of bonfires were lit, and suddenly the atmosphere became warm, and as soon as the body was warm, the soldiers talked and laughed, some soldiers took off their wet shoes and socks and armor and put them by the fire to roast, and some squinted by the fire and hummed a little song from their hometown, Xiao Hui frowned and looked at all this, opened his mouth and swallowed it, although he did not love soldiers like children, but generally did not punish soldiers easily.

The sky was completely dark, and the entire Gobi was covered by a huge black cloth, except for the place where the vanguard army of the Liao State was, there was no light in all directions.

Suddenly, more than 100 bright fireworks rose in the dark sky, and the red fireworks soared into the sky on the distant horizon.

Along with the fireworks in the distance, the same fireworks rose in the direction of Kedun City on the other side of the valley, and then a faint shout of killing came from the direction of Kedun City, which was closer.

"What's going on?" Xiao Huiteng, who closed his eyes and recuperated, stood up and asked loudly.

"King Qiqi, I don't know."

"Still not going to inquire about the return?" Xiao Hui said angrily.

Someone hurriedly rode a horse to follow the torrent of the rear army to the valley, Xiao Hui faintly felt a little uneasy, and the ground under his feet shook slightly, this shock is most familiar to the people who ride on horseback all year round, this is the shock caused by the cavalry galloping on the ground.

"What's going on?" Xiao Hui drank again.

"Report ...... Report! A scout came galloping from afar, the horse's hooves galloped past, and the frightened Liao soldiers who collapsed on the ground and roasted the fire scolded their mother.

"What's the matter?"

"Retribution...... Report to...... Report...... Report to...... Report to the king. The scout was obviously frightened, and he couldn't speak.

"Speak well, Hugh is panicked." Xiao Hui shouted.

"Yes...... Reporting to the king, a large number of cavalry rushed to the west, and their identities were unknown. ”

"What? Where did the brigade of cavalry come from? Xiao Hui's eyes widened, and her body tightened.

"The villain doesn't know, the scout team in front sent a light warning, and then there was no news, the villain is the last stop, responsible for patrolling nearly three miles to the left of the army, so there is no way to know."

Before Xiao Hui could answer, he heard a series of shouts from the valley mouth, and the baggage troops that were originally marching towards the valley suddenly all surged outward, and they poured out and shouted loudly: "Summer soldiers night attack, summer soldiers night attack!" ”

Xiao Hui's heart suddenly sank to the bottom, and his subordinate generals hurriedly shouted: "Don't panic, the law enforcement sabers and axes are ready, whoever shouts and shouts again, they will be cut and killed immediately." ”

Xiao Hui suddenly shouted: "All of you are on guard on the spot, and you are not allowed to act anymore because of your baggage, the Xia army is cheating!" ”

As soon as the words fell, dense torches lit up on the horizon in the distance to the west, like countless stars in the sky, and then the earth-shattering cry was like a landslide cracking, and the rumbling hooves accompanied by the galloping horses were deafening.

The soldiers of the Liao army panicked, and the soldiers who were crooked on the ground quickly got up and hurriedly looked for armor and weapons.

I don't know how many enemies are coming, and I can't attack rashly, I can only be on the defensive, Xiao Hui's face sank like water, and he quickly issued an order: "All are on alert, push the baggage carts to the periphery, the archers and spearmen are ready, and the enemy will immediately release the arrows within a hundred paces." ”

The commotion quickly calmed down, after all, most of the tribal soldiers who had followed King Xiao for many years had absolute confidence in Xiao Hui, and seeing the enemy army suddenly attacking, only relying on King Xiao's supreme wisdom could eliminate the fear in their hearts.

The rapid formation of improvised fortifications, or rather the fact that they were not fortifications at all, merely pushed the wagons and baggage to the edge of the ranks to form a barrier, and it was obviously a joke to expect these things to withstand the enemy's attack, but it was only a psychological comfort.

The dense enemy army is obviously cavalry, under the shining torches, the scimitar glows red, you can clearly know that it is the cavalry of the Xia Kingdom, Xiao Hui has no time to think about why the Xia Kingdom can have so many cavalry here, and has no time to think about how they know that they will attack through this line, because the two sides have already exchanged hands in an instant, but this battle, Xiao Hui's heart is half cold.

When the cavalry of the Xia army had just entered the distance of 100 paces, before the Liao archers had time to shoot arrows, the Western Xia cavalry had already begun to bend their bows and arrows to shoot with the momentum of the forward rush, which was a Western Xia cavalry that could shoot arrows, which completely subverted Xiao Hui's impression of the Western Xia cavalry.

Immediately after the stunned eyes of the Liao soldiers, a row of thousands of glittering heavy armored cavalry began to charge, that is the ultimate cavalry team of the Xia army 'Iron Harrier Army', it is rumored that the Iron Harrier Army in Western Xia is only three thousand, all of them follow the emperor to appear, where the emperor will go, these heavy cavalry will go, in this desert Gobi to see the Iron Harrier Army, either this force is actually led by the emperor of Xia himself, or the cavalry of Xia is bound to annihilate their own 50,000 vanguard army.

The three thousand Iron Harrier Soldiers were covered with steel armor from head to toe, and the main parts of the face and body of the war horses were also covered with shining steel armor.

"Shoot these monsters intensively, quick!" The archer general gave the order, and suddenly thousands of arrows were like dense flying locusts that made a scalp-tingling buzzing sound towards the Iron Harrier army, and after a chaotic clang, sparks burst out, and after the rain of arrows, except for the three Iron Harrier soldiers who were unlucky enough to be shot in the eye by arrows from the eye sockets of their masks, the other heavy armored cavalry were not damaged at all, but there were many mottled scratches on the armor.

Completely unable to shoot to death, completely ineffective, a hundred paces away in the consternation, the Iron Harrier Army has broken through the improvised barrier like a torrent of steel and crushed into the Liao soldiers, the Liao soldiers stabbed their bodies with spears, but these guys are invulnerable, and even their bodies are chained to the horses, and they can't push them off their horses.

"Kill!" The muffled roar of the Iron Harrier Army under the mask seemed to be colder than ice, they threw down their torches, and pulled out a half-foot-wide chopping knife from behind them, and the guillotine-like chopping knife was swung down like a vegetable, so that the person in charge could not deal with it at all, and after a round, more than 2,000 Liao soldiers were killed under the horse, even more than the number of people killed by the enemy's round of arrow rain just now.

Xiao Hui's eyes were jumping on the ground, his mouth was wide open and he couldn't close it for a long time, everything in front of him was so unreal, as if he was experiencing a nightmare.
