Chapter 781 Shaking the Mountain, Shaking the Gao Family's Army is Difficult Eight
On the battlefield of Qin Wangchuan, there is a weak battle, which is still going on round after round.
The war drums of the Song army and the trumpets of the Western Xia alternately sounded. On the side of the Song army, the arrow array is as immobile as a mountain! On the side of Western Xia, although the negative army was constantly repelled by the Song army's rain of arrows and selection. However, because the assault of the selected front-wing armorers was very short, and the crossbowmen of the Song army did not work too hard to shoot arrows because of the reason of saving physical strength. Therefore, the casualties of the Western Xia army were not too large, and after a small battle for half a day, by the evening, they were only shot dead by more than 1,000, and the number of seriously injured was less than 2,000.
For the number of Western Xia soldiers as high as 30,000, it was not to the point where it was completely unbearable. Besides, there are more than 10,000 elites of Xixia behind them, who dares not to carry it hard?
However, at this time, the advantage on the battlefield cannot be said to have reached the hands of the Song army.
Because of the real strength of the Western Xia army, 3,000 Iron Harrier cavalry and 7,000 garrison cavalry have not been used until now.
They were still waiting for the Song army's crossbowmen to gradually run out of strength before they launched a fatal blow!
Unlike the raw girl who later liked to fight wheel battles, the impact of the Western Xia cavalry has always been only one round!
"The cavalry of the Western Thieves is on their horses!"
Gao Yongnian didn't know who shouted in his ears, so he hurriedly looked up. I saw that the Western Xia cavalry, who were originally standing on the ground in the distance, had already climbed on horseback. Most of them were dressed in leather armor, while a few were wearing shiny Qingtang armor.
The horses of the cavalry of the garrison in leather armor were unequipped, while the iron harriers rode on their large horses. Whether it was the garrison or the Iron Harrier, all the Western Xia cavalry were armed with spears and long knives in their hands, and they rushed forward like a tidal wave.
This is the scene of tens of thousands of cavalry, almost covering the entire heaven and earth, and layers of them are surging like walls! The negative soldiers who originally shot at the Song army's arrow array had completed their mission at this time, and began to retreat in chaos, giving up the battlefield to the elite cavalry of Western Xia.
Gao Yongnian and Seed Master, who were watching the formation, looked at the amazing Western Xia cavalry, but they did not have the slightest fear, and a relaxed smile appeared on the corners of their mouths.
The cavalry of more than 10,000 Western thieves can't help the elite of the more than 40,000 Western Song Army on the battlefield!
As for the Western Xia, reinforcements are coming...... There is no problem, now that the Song army is backed by the camp, it is a big deal to retreat to the dead hand, what is there to fear?
The Western Xia cavalry on the battlefield stopped advancing, and tens of thousands of cavalry were densely packed into a large area, and there was no such strict formation. Only the iron harrier in the center was slightly better, shining in a large piece, barely expelling a loose phalanx.
However, these Western Xia cavalry did not attack immediately, but just stood there quietly.
What does that mean?
Scare?
Waiting for the sun to set?
Gao Yongnian and Seed Master Ji looked at each other, and they both showed puzzled colors.
The western thieves spent an afternoon draining the physical strength of the Song army's crossbowmen, and suffered no less than 2,000 casualties. Isn't it just to launch a cavalry assault when the Song army's crossbowmen are exhausted?
But now......
The thief didn't move, but the ground was shaking gently, and the Song Army crossbowmen who were kneeling and sitting could see the small stones and sand under their feet and buttocks trembling gently.
There must be another surprising number of cavalry coming, right?
Could it be that the immobile thieves are waiting for them?
At this time, the soldiers who were arranged to be on duty on the watchtower of the Song army camp could already faintly see the figures of the cavalry in the dim sunset...... The sunlight fell on them, reflecting quite a dazzling reflection!
These cavalrymen are dressed in iron armor!?
The sentinels of the Song army didn't believe their eyes very much, weren't the ironclad cavalry of Western Xia just iron harriers? They're already here, why are there another batch? And the number seems to be a lot, overwhelming, I'm afraid there are five or six thousand, right?
Could it be that the Iron Harrier of the Western Thief has greatly expanded?
When he was in a daze, a junior officer who had served in the Hedong Army suddenly saw a familiar eagle flag!
And then there are the Sun Flag, the Moon Flag, the Tiger Flag and the Dragon Flag!
This is the Khitan military flag!
The Khitan people worshipped the god of the eagle, the god of the sun, the god of the moon, the god of the tiger, the god of the dragon, and so on, so they used their images to paint on the banner as a military flag.
And those who can use "Eagle, Sun, Moon, Tiger, Dragon" as military flags are all Khitan armored horses!
"Enemy attack, Liao, Liao...... Liaogou is coming! โ
The military attache who had been in the Hedong Army shouted in horror.
"Warriors of the Great White High Kingdom, look to the east, the 100,000 reinforcements of the Great Liao have arrived!"
At the same time, Xiao Heda, who was commanding 10,000 cavalry to prepare for an attack, suddenly roared in the loudest voice.
"Warriors of the Great White High Kingdom, look to the east, the 100,000 reinforcements of the Great Liao have arrived......"
Immediately, dozens of loud Western Xia soldiers shouted together, these people were all arranged by Xiao Heda, just to let the party cavalry know that Da Liao had sent troops for the first time!
Although the Khitan has long been weakened, and the real combat power is not necessarily stronger than the elite of the party, but psychologically, whether it is the Western Xia or the Great Song Dynasty, there is a little fear of Liao!
Knowing that Da Liao had sent troops and had arrived at the battlefield to fight side by side with his own family, the morale of the party soldiers, who were originally a little desperate, suddenly soared.
"Wan Sheng! Wansheng! Big White High Country, Wansheng ......"
The sound of cheers resounded in the sky!
On the other side, Gao Yongnian also saw the Khitan military flag. He first served in the Hedong Army, and of course he knew what the Khitan military flag looked like.
Moreover, the banner can be faked, but the ironclad cavalry that is pressed over the mountains and fields can't be faked.
There are at least several thousand armored horsemen here...... Today's Western Xia does not have such strength at all, and the only one who can take it out is Da Liao!
"It's Khitan!" Gao Yongnian gritted his teeth.
"Captain, quickly retreat to the camp and hold on!" The seed master also found out that something was wrong.
"It's too late......"
Before Gao Yongnian's words fell, the sound of a whimpering military horn sounded over the battlefield of Qin Wangchuan, which was the sound of the military horn of the Western Xia army's attack.
Gao Yongnian also reacted at this time, and ordered loudly at the top of his voice: "Uncle Yi, you immediately take the seventh general and the selection department to the right flank to arrange, no matter what, you must block the first formation of the Khitans!" โ
"Whoa!"
The breeder responded, and rode his horse towards the position where the seventh general of the reserve team was located.
Gao Yongnian shouted loudly again: "Pass on a certain general's order, everyone will be in their place, and those who take a step back will not be spared!" โ
Most of the pro-soldiers behind Gao Yongnian responded to the order and left. At this time, the cavalry of the Western Xia Brigade had already pressed up one by one.
The cavalry of the party soon rushed within range of the Divine Arm Bow, and the generals who commanded the arrow array on the front line gave orders one after another. I heard a bowstring sound in the air, and countless short and sharp crossbow arrows burst out, rushing straight towards the influx of party members!
I saw that the soldiers in the front row of the Dangxiang cavalry, under the thousands of divine arm bows, almost at the same time, fell down, and the men and horses rolled into a ball!
If such a blow were to be placed in the usual way, it would be enough to make the charging Iron Harriers and garrisons frightened for a while, and the speed of the sprint would probably slow down.
But today, the soldiers and horses of the party are in extreme excitement! Because now they are no longer fighting against the behemoth of the Great Song alone, the Liao State, which is more powerful than the Great Song Dynasty, is now fighting side by side with them.
The sudden appearance of the Liao army raised the morale of these party fighters to the highest.
The archer with the bow of the divine arm stepped on the string again, and although everyone was extremely nervous, the movements of their hands were not bad at all.
These people, after all, are the elite of the Western Army who have been in battle for a long time! If it is replaced by the Jingying Forbidden Army, I am afraid that I will already be scared to cry!
The second round of crossbow arrows from the Divine Arm Bow was fired, and the party members fell again. The screams of men and the wails of horses resounded throughout the battlefield. But the party members who were excited still did not retreat!
The speed of the horse has reached the limit, and the tall meandering horses are flying forward. The fiercest rush was the Iron Harrier Knights, who all fastened their bodies to their horses with leather locks. Even if you are hit by a crossbow arrow, you will not fall off your horse! Therefore, there is no trace of obstruction to the war horses in the rear. Moreover, not only were they armoured, but their horses were also equipped, and they were somewhat resistant to the crossbow arrows that came at them. Although it will be pierced, the crossbow arrows with reduced strength are no longer enough to bring down the galloping horse.
The rain of arrows of the Song army began to fall!
Not only was the Divine Arm Bow firing at the fastest speed, but even ordinary foot archers began to shoot arrows like crazy.
Arrows rained down, and the knights and horses of the party men kept being hit by arrows and kept falling. But they are completely in a frenzy, and they don't care about any dead or injured.
The Liao State has already sent troops, and this is a turning point for their Great White High Country! If they don't grasp it firmly, then the foundation of the Great White High Kingdom will really be destroyed in the hands of their generation.
The spearmen and sword and shield bearers of the Song army, as well as a few strong men with large axes, had formed a strong formation in front of the crossbowmen...... It's a pity that there is only a thin row.
If it were replaced by a forest of spears, it would be impossible to break through the morale of the cavalry of the party people, no matter how high they wereโone-third of the infantry soldiers of the people were armed with spears, and their hand-to-hand combat ability was amazing.
However, the traditional Song army relied on bows and crossbows, and the combination of spears and swords and shields usually accounted for only 20% of the number of soldiers.
However, even these two percent of hand-to-hand combatants could block the party's most elite iron harriers in the past...... But today, in addition to the iron harriers on the battlefield, there are also Khitan armored horses!
The hearts of every Song army soldier seemed to be pressed against a big stone, but at this moment, they still held the weapon in their hands tightly.
I don't know how long it took, the Iron Harrier of the First Banner Party had already crashed into the Song Army's military formation. This party member had an unknown number of crossbow arrows and feather arrows stuck in his body, and he was already seriously injured and died. It was only when his body was locked to the back of a horse that he insisted on crashing into the guns of the Song army...... A spear stabbed him in the chest! But at the same time, there were also two armor soldiers of the Song army, who were knocked away by his war horses!
And more Iron Harrier Armor Riders are coming on their heels!
