Chapter 1138: Decisive Battle 1
Yang Zhi's eyes were full of murderous intentions, perhaps because of the victory in Huanqing Road, the Western Xia army showed an unprecedented high fighting spirit, and the 150,000 Western Xia army almost roared and rushed to the Dingbei army; Li Yanxian and Xu Wen, the pioneers in front, sneered, the strong attack of the Western Xia army is exactly what the Dingbei army needs, before the expedition, Yang Zhi said that there is a secret weapon today, and the two of them absolutely believe that if the Western Xia people try to challenge the majesty of the army under Yang Zhi, it can only be self-destruction.
Ren Dejing rode on horseback, a little puzzled in his heart, the standing of the Dingbei army was obviously at the downwind of the wind direction, which would greatly affect the accuracy of the bow and arrow, but Yang Zhi was still willing to come to the decisive battle; but behind him, more than 100,000 Western Xia cavalry were already ready to shoot, Ren Dejing waved his right arm in the void, and shouted: "Attack!"
The long sound of bull horns and agitated drums rushed into the sky in an instant, and the officers shouted loudly, the Western Xia cavalry moved on horseback, and quickly formed a huge cavalry attack formation in the wilderness, slowly advancing in the whistle, and the first two thousand elites were heavily armored cavalry rebuilt after the Harrier Army, as if rolling iron was crushing towards the position of the Dingbei Army.
Even if it was a big battle with the Jin army, the other party was only fifty or sixty thousand cavalry at most, and it was the first time that Xixia had seen such a formation, Xu Wenneng heard the hissing and inhaling sound from the soldiers around him, and knew that the fighting spirit of his subordinates was undergoing a severe test. Xu Wen slapped the shield of the guards beside him with a steel knife, letting out an earth-shattering roar. Xu Wen's voice was naturally not as powerful as Yang Zhi's, but this roar was like a river embankment bursting, and with Li Yanxian's echo, the soldiers of the Dingbei Army all roared with him.
There was no need for Xu Wen to make arrangements, the soldiers of the Dingbei Army skillfully unfolded the formation, erected a shield wall in front of the army, and the divine arm bows and archers entered their positions one after another, just waiting for an order from above, and began to shoot the Western Xia army that was getting closer and closer. Yang Zhi stood expressionlessly, watching all this with a telescope, he knew that Xu Wen and Li Yanxian could handle the situation well and eliminate their opponents on the battlefield as much as possible.
Mu Wei saw the Dingbei army so vigorous, his eyes flashed with a cold light, and made a gesture of surprise, tens of thousands of Western Xia cavalry suddenly increased their speed and began to attack from different directions;
Continuous screams came from all around Mu Wei, and the advancing Western Xia army continued to cry and fall from their horses, but the Western Xia army did not rout, no matter how many people fell, the cavalry behind would come forward to fill the gap. Ren Dejing and Hot Gongji's faces became serious, the Dingbei army on the opposite side claimed to be able to resist the cavalry with the infantry army, and it really deserved its reputation; no matter how the Western Xia army lengthened the width of the attack, the opponent's cavalry army could always defend it at the first time, and now there were 50,000 people joining the attack, and joining the first round could not destroy the opponent's position, and the battle behind would be even more difficult.
Yang Zhi let out a sigh of relief, the most dangerous moment passed, Xu Wen, Li Yanxian, Wu Jue, and Sang Zhong had already been attacked, but the 20,000 infantry army did not collapse, which added a lot of confidence to the various armies behind; more than two months of training was not in vain, in the last hundred steps of the two sides, the Western Xia army encountered difficulties that had never been encountered, and the small trebuchets and javelinmen behind the archers of the Dingbei army played a role, so that more than 2,000 Western Xia light cavalry rushing in front fell in the last fifty paces.
Xu Wen led the heavily armored infantry army to meet the heavy cavalry of the Western Xia army, and in the roaring waves, the weapons in the hands of the soldiers on both sides waved vigorously, the agitated killing intent echoed on the position, and the cold north wind wailed in the desperate struggle. Ren Dejing's face changed, Hot Gongji's face changed, and Mu Wei's face also changed; the casualties of the heavy cavalry were still above the infantry army, how did the opposite side create such an army?
Only Yang Zhi's expression remained indifferent, the Western Xia army had already brought too much trouble to himself, Yang Zhi was looking forward to the next move of the Western Xia army; Ren Dejing took a deep breath of cold air and gave the order for the second echelon to attack, once the heavy cavalry could not break through the position of the opponent's infantry army, the confidence of the 50,000 cavalry would be discounted, and Ren Dejing must ensure the morale of the whole army. Ren Dejing said to Ren Decong in a deep voice: "Let these damn Song people taste the power of the Western Xia Iron Cavalry! Tell the generals below to take out all their housekeeping skills!"
"Understood. "The 50,000 cavalry of the second echelon are all captured troops, this is the most effective army of the Western Xia Army in addition to the three trump cards; Yang Zhi looked at the black pressure of the cavalry on the opposite side, his pupils suddenly constricted, and his face revealed a hideous murderous intent, turned his head and smiled at Wang Gang, and said loudly: "Send an attack signal!"
Wang Gang gave a command, and ten fireworks rushed into the sky at the same time, and the grand fireworks were like a scene of celebration in a festival, so beautiful that people were suffocating; Ren Dejing and the others' faces changed drastically again, they knew that this was a signal that the Dingbei Army was going to start moving, and no one could pretend to be fireworks of that unique color. Just as Ren Dejing was staring at the position of the Dingbei Army opposite, the guards beside him were already shouting: "Back, back." ”
Ren Dejing followed the gaze of everyone, the whole person was stunned at once, about twenty huge spheres flew from the side of the mountain peak like floating clouds, and the wind became faster and faster, and the 50,000 Western Xia troops who had not yet attacked all forgot the battlefield that was still fighting in front of them, and watched with fear more than 20 clouds getting closer and closer; they had heard the story of the defeat of the Bu Bazi army under dozens of rainbows, and there was an indescribable panic about this strange scene, and thousands of people became silent at that moment.
Ren Dejing saw the slowly approaching sphere clearly, and couldn't help but be shocked, this thing should be the Kong Ming lantern, but the size of this Kong Ming lantern is also too big; there is a basket-like thing under the ball, flying with the big ball; Ren Dejing's guard next to him reminded: "General, there seems to be someone on it." ”
Someone, a hot air balloon has already flown to the sky above Ren Dejing's side, two thunderbolts fell rapidly from a high place; with the shouts of several veterans, Ren Dejing and others came to their senses, but it was too late, the two thunderbolts fell in the crowd of the Western Xia army, making a loud noise, not to mention the flying crockpot pieces and iron slag hurting people, startling hundreds of war horses around to clash everywhere. As more and more thunderbolts fell, the rear army, which had not yet had time to attack, was already in disarray.
