The taste of being hit by a spear staff is also very uncomfortable, the spear staff more than three meters long, under the leverage effect, carries the strong wind, and splits in the air, if it is smashed on the pocket and does not die, you will get dizzy. However, the vine shield could barely resist it, but the force of the slap was so great that Wu Song's arm was numb.

And the long sword he holds in his right hand is not a sharp weapon for armor piercing, and must pierce into the gap of the armor leaf or the face without iron armor to kill the enemy. However, the shield in Wu Song's left hand was a sharp weapon that could be used to break armor. After resisting the slap of a spear staff, Wu Song didn't care about the soreness and numbness of his arm, so he put the shield back in front of him, and then pounced forward, even with a shield, and suddenly crashed into a Western Xia spear staff. The spearman did not stand still, and fell backwards. However, he did not fall to the ground, but was helped by his comrades in the back. And just as his body was shaking, Wu Song saw the opportunity and stabbed the man in the eye with a sword.

The sharp sword stabbed into the man's eye socket, and a scream rang out, and warm blood rushed to Wu Song's cheek.

Seeing the strong party man who was about the same height as himself screaming and falling, Wu Song didn't have time to harvest the other party's head, but raised his shield again. Because another damn spear staff has come down. It was another Tangut warrior standing behind the Tangut warrior who had just been killed by Wu Song (not yet dead) attacking.

There was a loud sound of "canopy", and Wu Song's left arm was numb again. However, he still resisted the attack of the spear staff, he is Wu Song Wujiro who can beat even a tiger!

"Formation! Shoulder to shoulder! Squeeze ...... forward"

Wu Song was not angered by the attack of the Tanguts, but shouted to his soldiers to keep the formation and move forward steadily.

Infantry battles are not about the bravery of individuals, but about the strength of groups. And "squeezing" is the most basic method of infantry formation warfare.

When two infantry formations collide with each other, they will squeeze each other until they crush each other.

The Western Xia warriors armed with spear staff did not have any advantage in close combat, so they quickly became the ghosts of the fangnu armor warriors. But the sword and shield soldiers of the Tanguts soon filled in.

Now it's shield for shield and sword for sword! Although most of the swords and shields of Western Xia only had leather armor to protect themselves, they could not block the stabbing attacks of the long swords directly equipped by the dragon warriors. But with shields and long knives, they don't suffer too much in hand-to-hand combat. Although the casualties were slightly greater than those of the opponent, they were still able to withstand the onslaught of the house slaves.

The battle between the two sides soon fell into a stalemate!

Just then, the archers of the Dragon Warrior Nao joined the battle! Unlike the vast majority of the Song army, the division of "arrow-throwing soldiers", "sword-raising soldiers" and "spear-wielding troops" was different. The training requirements of "being equipped for three battles and firing arrows and spears" are implemented by the Dragon Warrior. Therefore, the same 4,000 dragon warriors can withstand two or three times the ordinary forbidden army in terms of combat efficiency.

Since the Dragonsmen are heavily armored infantry, their archers are not very afraid of their opponents' arrows and can get as close to the front as possible. Now they almost stood behind the more than 400 sword and shield soldiers commanded by Wu Song and fired arrows, because the distance was close, so they directly chose to throw heavy arrows. Moreover, they didn't care much about the Song Jun in the front row and the opponent getting mixed up, and they directly covered it with feather arrows!

A heavy arrow hit Wu Song's trap and did not shoot through, but it still smashed Wu Erlang's eyes, and he secretly screamed in his heart, and hurriedly raised the rattan shield to protect the vital point. However, his opponent did not take the opportunity to attack, as he was also hit by a heavy arrow fired at close range! However, he was not as lucky as Wu Song, and he was shot in the face by an arrow and fell down screaming.

Seeing that the opponent had fallen, Wu Song did not dare to rush forward, but shouted: "Raise the shield!" Raise your shield! ”

The vine shield was held high, shielding the hood, and it was no longer afraid of sharp arrows from behind or in front of it.

The two armies on the battlefield did not shoot each other for long, because there was no strength - archery was a manual job! Even a strong man like Wu Song has to rest for a long time with a sore arm if he shoots 20 arrows at a time. Moreover, the warriors of the dragon warriors must save their strength to cut off their heads, so although everyone can shoot a good arrow, they are not willing to spend all their strength on archery. So it's usually just to shoot 10 arrows to a point, and then shoot again with a different group of people.

However, their 10 arrows were shot in a row, not necessarily a salvo, most of them were dense random arrows, and a commander of 4560 people threw out 4,000 and hundreds of heavy arrows in the shortest possible time, shooting the Tanguts who were fighting with Wu Song and others with heavy losses. Even the formation has become chaotic!

Wu Song, who saw the opportunity, shouted again to attack. Raise your shield and sword, cover your head, and attack upward. All of a sudden, it crashed into the Western Xia infantry, which had become a little chaotic......

"Breached!"

"It's okay, it's just the first battle!"

Renduo Baozhong's face was pale, and he was cheering up his henchman Renduo Anzhong, the offensive of this group of Song Army ironclad soldiers was really fierce! In such a short period of time, he broke through his own first line of defense, and a full 500 Western Xia foot soldiers were crushed by an opponent with a similar number.

However, the victorious Song army seemed to have exhausted its strength, and did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, but stayed where it was (in fact, it was cutting off its head). After a few more moments, the heavy infantry divided into two groups and retreated from the somewhat steep slopes and the edge of the mighty river. Behind them, the same number of Song heavy infantry was ready to attack, but this time the soldiers in their front row became half-armed with spears and half-swords and shields. Obviously, Gao Yu and Wang Yu are still exploring the tactics of the Dragon Warrior.

"Captain Gao, Captain Wang, the third commander has obtained a total of 266 Western Thief Heads! 33 people were injured and 18 were injured. ”

Wu Song soon came to Gao Yu and Wang Yu and reported the losses and results of the battle.

The combat effectiveness of the Western Thief is really not comparable to that of the Tibetan people! Although 266 heads were also obtained, the price paid was 33 killed and 18 seriously wounded. Such a record was achieved when the heavy arrow attack of friendly forces disrupted the formation of the Western Thieves.

"Good!" Wang Yu nodded, "Pack up the head, and Captain Gao will personally inspect it later." ”

Gao Yu also said: "Let's go rest first." ”

"Whoa!"

Because the battlefield of the Haokan River was too narrow, the forces of both sides could not be spread, and they could only fight repeatedly with small forces of several hundred people.

If you really want to decide the winner, you will only be afraid for several days!

However, Tong Guan, who had already established his own camp on a high slope, was not in a hurry, because he knew that his troops had an endless supply of food, and the Tibetan tribes in the areas of Nanzongbao and Linzongbao who supported national unity had already received orders to continuously send butter and raw pickled yak meat to the front line of the Haokang River. It's enough for Song Jun to eat for a long time!

But the army of Rindo's loyalists must not have much rations!

The current attack is actually just to attract Renduo Baozhong's troops, so that he has no way to escape quickly, as long as Renduo Baozhong can't escape, he can only return to the Great Song Dynasty.

After determining that the battle ahead would fall into a stalemate, Tong Guan summoned An Yongguo, the deputy envoy of Gao Yongnian's deputy general Dongshang Gate, to his side and ordered: "Andongmen, our family ordered you to take 8,000 light horsemen to cross the Haokang River, go around the east bank of the Haokang River to the front of the West Thief, and go to join forces with Gao Taiwei!" ”

"Whoa!"

An Yongguo answered, and took a few relatives down the hill to dispatch troops. And the movement of 8,000 light horsemen crossing the river, of course, could not hide from the sentinels sent by Renduo Baozhong.

"Commander, they must be going to join the light cavalry in front of us!" Renduo Anzhong said a little nervously, "If so many people join forces with the light cavalry in front of us, we won't be able to go back to Renduoquan City!" ”

Relying on Gao Yongnian's 2,300,000 people, of course, he couldn't stop the 20,000 people who were loyal to Renduo. But once Gao Yongnian has 10,000 people in his hands, the army of Renduo will be dead. Because there was not much military ration in Renduo Baozhong's hands, as long as it dragged on for a few more days, the army would be cut off from cooking, and they would starve to death if they couldn't fight to death.

"Commander the army," Ren Duo Anzhong said again, "this side is supported by a certain family with 5,000 infantry, you hurry up and lead people to fight west, but you can't let the cavalry of the Song army block us." ”

"Okay, so be it......"

Renduo Baozhong doesn't have any ideas, he was originally the master of repeated battles in the north, otherwise he wouldn't have fallen to this point!

However, his actions have long been in the calculations of Tong Guan and Gao Yongnian. The 10,000 women and children of the Wen Department were old and weak, and at this time, they were congested on the mountain road on the west bank of the Haokan River, completely blocking the way of Renduo Baozhong.

Of course, Renduo Baozhong would not be soft when he killed the Tibetan people, and immediately ordered the front army to cut and kill a bloody way. But it's not so easy to slash or kill one or two thousand people! In particular, many of them were still holding weapons, and the Western Xia army could not deploy too many troops, so they could only throw in a few hundred people at a time. Moreover, Gao Yongnian sent light cavalry that delayed the Western Xia army, and at this time he had abandoned his horse to climb the mountain, and condescendingly cast feather arrows to stop the Western Xia army from attacking.

On the other side, Gao Yongnian with another 1,500 light horsemen was not idle, and also used butcher knives and spears to drive away these innocent Tibetans, acting as a human obstacle to block the advance of the Western Xia army.

Advancing is death, retreating is also death, and the mountains and rivers on both sides are high and deep, which is also insurmountable for the elderly, weak, women and children. In this way, the crowd of people crowded together on the mountain road, and the cries shook the sky and trampled on each other. I don't know how many innocents were crushed into dust in the battle between the Song and Xia countries.

As the saying goes, one will succeed, ten thousand bones will wither!

And the future of Rinduo's loyalty has risen in this unprovoked killing...... Because once Gao Yongnian completely blocked his escape, he could only accept Zhang Shuye's recruitment and become the king of the new generation of Qingtang!

This is probably the gold belt of murder and arson, right?
