The battle of Tongwancheng seems to be related to the life and death of the Great White High Kingdom! And it is vaguely involved in the rise and fall of the Great Liao State.

At the time when the 10,000 arrows were fired at the bottom of the Tongwan City, the 20,000 party troops were galloping along the Wuding River to the southwest. The sound of thousands of horses galloping, in the desolate land of northern Shaanxi, seems earth-shattering.

Xiao Heda was at the front of the whole army, wearing his armor and armor, fighting his spirits, and he couldn't help but use his hoarse voice to cheer up the party soldiers around him.

Although Xiao Heda did his best to conceal the news of the fall of Tongwan, when his troops passed near Tongwan City yesterday, everyone saw the fire burning in the direction of Tongwan. With a little brain, you can guess what's wrong.

However, Xiao Heda's own mood is not much higher. Because he also knows that the situation is very bad! Not only because Tongwan City was miraculously captured by the Song army, but also because the most powerful force in Western Xia, Iron Harrier, was hit hard in the north of Tongwan City! Although the loss was not large, the loss was ugly.

The cavalry, which is famous for its armored cavalry impact, was actually defeated by the assault of the Song army's armored cavalry, and they only rushed for a while, and they defeated more than 200 iron harrier cavalry!

Xiao Heda, who is a cavalry expert himself, understands the meaning very well! The Song army already has the world's number one armored horse! No wonder everyone says that Zhao Ji is a heavenly khan, he even has a Xuanjia ride now!

In fact, even the Khitan did not have an armored cavalry that could crush the iron harrier, and the Khitan cavalry mainly played cavalry shooting, which was characterized by "light and untidy", and was not good at frontal assault - the Khitan warriors in the early years may be able to fight armored cavalry assault, but this Khitan did not have such ability.

And the Song army has such an armored horse! It's scary to think about!

And what's even more terrifying is that there is actually no suspense about the outcome of the battle of Tongwan City.

At least in Xiao Heda's opinion, the possibility of King Chage of Jin retaking Tongwan City is almost non-existent.

Because there is the first general of the Great Song Dynasty in Tongwan City, Gao Yu! There are also the three straight fronts of the emperor who were trained by Gao Yu, and the Song army is still defending with danger, why should Brother Cha win?

Therefore, besieging the city and sending reinforcements was the only opportunity to inflict a heavy blow on the Song army, although it could not save the defeat of Tongwancheng and the Eastern Front. However, it can delay the pace of the Song army's advance and win a slight turnaround for the Great White Gaoguo.

However, the party members who lost the land of the Wuding River valley and the Hetao would not be able to establish a state in Xingling Prefecture under any circumstances. The so-called turning point is nothing but an opportunity to calmly move westward.

It's just that the Xingling Prefecture that the party members gave up will be owned by whom?

Return to the Great Song Dynasty, or to the Great Liao?

Xiao Heda, who was full of worries, didn't notice that a few scouts were running in front of him, and he didn't quickly hold the reins until his relatives reminded him.

"Commanding the Army!" One of the leading scouts said loudly on horseback, "Report to the unified army, twenty miles west of the three-way junction ahead, the traces of the Song army brigade have been found!" ”

Sure enough, it came!

Xiao Heda suddenly stood up on the stirrup and shouted loudly: "Warriors of the Great White High Kingdom, Song Dog's soldiers and horses are coming towards the three forks!" Let's work harder and get ahead of them! Grab the three forks and beat the Song dog soldiers! ”

The three-way crossing is also on the bank of the Wuding River, located between Youzhou, Hongzhou and Tongwancheng, and there is an official road leading to the three places, so it is called the three-way crossing. In addition, the terrain around the three-way crossing is very dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is a good place to send reinforcements.

Xiao Heda shouted, which slightly aroused the morale of his subordinates, and everyone unconsciously followed Yinghe: "Grab the three forks and beat the Song dog soldiers!" ”

Beat Song Dog or something, even shouting to relieve hatred!

……

"Kill! Fight the enemy! Kill ......"

When the uniform slogan sounded, the spears of the forest and the soldiers of the wall replaced the warriors with bows and arrows, and appeared in the gap in the east wall of Tongwan City.

"Spear?"

Cha Ge, who was standing on the stirrup and watching with his neck stretched, couldn't help but mutter, with a little surprise.

Pikemen were usually no match for sword and shield soldiers, but the Song army did not use sword and shield soldiers with strong combat effectiveness, but used spears to meet the garrison armed with swords and shields...... It seems that the Buddha is blessing the Great White High Country!

"First row, second row, spears flat!"

With the shout of the commander Wu Song, the nearly 100 pikemen commanded by Wu Yan all flattened the spears in their hands that were one and a half feet long.

"Third row, fourth row, raise your guns and move forward!"

Then Wu Song gave the order to the other pikemen.

Because of the establishment and officers of the Dragon Warrior and the Dragon Guard, it has been standardized to a certain extent. Therefore, everyone who commands his subordinates is interchangeable, and now the capital under the command of Wu Song has subtracted two warriors and added two spears.

"Fifth platoon, draw your sword, supervise the battle!"

"The rest of the rows of warriors, bows and arrows ready to ......"

With Wu Song's orders one after another, the command of less than 500 people suddenly had a little bit of an unshakable appearance that thousands of horses and thousands of troops could not shake. It was in stark contrast to the queue of the Western Xia garrisons on the opposite side, who were snorting and charging with feathered arrows shot from the walls on both sides.

"Rush!"

Wu Song shouted.

A piercing whistle sounded, and the warriors with spears immediately began to charge forward with neat steps!

"This formation is also ......"

Fang Dangali, the general of the party garrison, looked at the spears that were advancing like a wall, and suddenly felt a tingling feeling on his scalp.

Although the spear is long, it is not flexible, and if it is one-on-one, a sword (sword) shield soldier with better martial arts skills can defeat a spearman.

But hundreds of spears form a wall, how can this be broken?

There are many other party fighters who want to ask the same question, but they will not get an answer in their lifetime.

Because the spears that came up like a wall were coming to them in a blink of an eye!

They either run away or ...... Die!

Fang Dang Ali wanted to escape, but the Western Xia army still had military discipline, and today it was still the Jin King Chage who supervised the battle.

Retreating without an order is also a dead end. One is killed in battle, the other is a criminal beheading, for family members, it is a completely different treatment!

Thinking of this, he had no choice but to roar: "Death to those who retreat...... Kill Song Dog! Then he raised his shield and rushed forward with his scalp.

There are also Wu Yan's subordinates who rushed into battle, and the fighting will of the government soldiers cannot be compared with the warriors. They were originally recruited only as tuntian soldiers, and there were no special rewards, and most of them did not even practice martial arts seriously.

They had no other skills other than platoons, spear charges, and spear strikes. The so-called masters are bold, and this time the pikemen's martial arts are not high, so their courage is naturally small. In the previous battles in Tongwan City, there were several cases where pikemen did not obey orders and refused to charge into battle.

Therefore, the military commander adjusted and began to mix the pikemen and warriors, and let the warriors with swords and shields line up behind the pikemen, and act as a warlord - if the pikemen retreat without an order, it will be a killing!

Second, these sword and shield warriors also had to go forward to fight the enemy hand-to-hand after the pikemen charged, so as to expand the results of the battle, and at the same time cover the retreat of the pikemen.

The effect of pikemen charging in a dense formation or squeezing the enemy is undoubtedly good, but a soldier with a spear more than a foot long cannot go into battle alone. Archers and sword and shield soldiers must be used to cover and support, otherwise they will easily become the target of slaughter by the opponent's sword and shield soldiers after the charge is over.

The bloody collision happened in the blink of an eye! The tips of hundreds of spears, carrying strong winds, came with an unstoppable momentum by the inertia generated by the gunner's running. Rushing to the first row, Fang Dan Ari struggled to raise his shield and block an oncoming spear. But then there was a crisp click, and Arry knew that it was not good, and wanted to dodge, but it was already half a beat slower. His wooden shield was pierced by a spear, and the sharp, long tip of the spear then pierced into his leather armor and into his body.

Sharp pain came from his right chest, Fang Dang Ali screamed, I don't know if it was because of pain or because of panic, he couldn't use all his strength at all, he couldn't even hold the knife, one hand grabbed the spear that pierced his body, but he didn't know what to do?

Can a spear pierced through the chest be saved?

Just then, the spear began to pump back hard. The force of the retraction was so great that Arri couldn't hold the spear at all. As the tip of the spear pulled out of his right chest, blood shot out along with it. Ari clutched his wounds and collapsed, pain and fear haunting him. He cried and screamed, hoping that someone would save him, forgetting that he was actually dead!

When the pikemen retreated, the warriors who had originally acted as the overseers split into two ways, and fought from the left and right sides of the pikemen's horizontal formation, like tigers descending from the mountain, and slashed at the completely stunned Western Xia soldiers. Drive them away from the breach of the wall.

At the same time, there were more warriors who threw feathered arrows round after round, trying to suppress the firepower of the Western Xia archers.

"This spear...... How can it be so powerful!? ”

Cha Ge witnessed the round of fiasco in front of him, his face turned pale, and his lips trembled a little.

The Song army not only had sharp cavalry and invincible warriors, but now even the simplest spears were so slippery.

The spears marched like a wall and retreated like the wind, leaving only dead bodies everywhere, and it didn't take much effort to repel a round of charges from the garrison!

Then the sword and shield soldiers swooped up to make up for the sword, and the cooperation was seamless!

This set of tactics looks better than your own style of play, no, you can't fight stupidly.

"Mingjin!"

Brother Cha gritted his teeth and ordered, and then summoned Li Liangfu and Ji La Arong to the front.

It's impossible to give up the offense, and this is just the beginning! How can Brother Cha admit defeat and leave? But he can learn from his enemies.

Isn't it just a spear formation and a sword and shield soldier? Who doesn't have a spear? The garrison and the Iron Harrier are both configured with one positive and three auxiliaries, and the three negative support soldiers can naturally carry a large number of weapons, so they are all elite soldiers who are "equipped for three battles". If you take a spear staff, you can't beat Song Bing's spear?
