Chapter 321: The Western Xia Rebellion (3)
"Wow!ho!"
The army formation of the Great Song Dynasty advanced slowly, and the neat slogans were like giant beasts roaring, constantly pressing the Western Xia Iron Cavalry. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Kill these Song dogs and let them know that we are powerful, and Great Xia will win!"
The commander of Zhuo Luo and the Southern Military Division is Brother Li Cha of the Western Xia royal family, with a fierce temperament, half of the soldiers and horses under his command are party elites, and half are brutal barbarians, killing is extremely heavy, every soldier is brave and good at fighting, this is also a rear hand arranged by Li An'an in the country, if it were not for the Wu rank to lead the troops to contain these people, Ren Dejing would have to lose more manpower to resist these people, and even be exterminated by the Western Xia people.
"Kill!"
In the roar of Brother Richard, he stretched out his hand to pull up the longbow and came towards the phalanx ****.
Thousands of soldiers galloped wildly, and when they approached the big array for hundreds of steps, the long sword in their hands suddenly **** came, and the rain of arrows in the sky was thrown down, and after the rain of arrows was thrown, thousands of cavalry quickly separated along the phalanx, coming towards both sides of the big array, and thousands of cavalry behind them threw the rain of arrows again, killing in both directions.
"Up!"
When a thick voice sounded, the sword and shield hands in front of the major phalanxes shouted and raised the huge shield directly, blocking in front of them in an instant, resisting most of the arrow rain, although some arrow rain came in from the shield, but most of the soldiers were covered with armor, and they were not afraid of these arrow rains at all, if there were really unlucky guys, it was only one or two, but they could not shake the big array in the slightest.
"Shoot!"
Behind the sword and shield bearers, archers with longbows immediately bent their bows and shot arrows, and some crossbowmen stepped on the bow of the divine arm and threw the arrows one by one.
"Whoosh!
Countless long arrows in the phalanx were thrown away, and they shot down against the cavalry of the Western Xia Hu cavalry.
"Poof! poof!"
The sound of arrows piercing into the flesh continued to pierce the bodies of the Western Xia cavalry, and one by one the soldiers were directly killed, and some of the cavalry's war horses were pierced into the brain by long arrows, and batches of war horses fell to the ground.
However, with the projectile, some archers in the phalanx were also shot by arrows, but in general, the crossbowmen who were guarded by a large array suffered far fewer casualties.
And those Western Xia soldiers directly separated in front of the formation, and slashed to both sides, but the bows and crossbows in the hands of the Great Song cavalry on both sides were all thrown away, and most of the Western Xia soldiers who were caught off guard were shot, and some of the cavalry waved their swords and began to kill these soldiers who tried to attack the big array from the side, for a time these cavalry were fighting with their lives, after the neighing of swords, guns and horses, the Western Xia cavalry retreated quickly like a tide, and when the Western Xia cavalry retreated, the cavalry of the Great Song Dynasty did not pursue, but only supported around the big array.
At the moment when the two armies clashed, both the Western Xia and the Great Song Dynasty suffered casualties, but the battle losses of the Western Xia were much more than those of the Great Song Dynasty, which was the benefit of the phalanx, but this phalanx could not kill and injure the soldiers of the Western Xia on a large scale.
If you want to really kill these cavalry in Western Xia, you can only rely on this kind of slow attrition, which is a dignified and upright army battle formation, and it is also the reason why the soldiers so-called kill 10,000 enemies and lose 8,000 themselves.
The reason why those strange schemes have been famous through the ages is because of their rarity, but the phalanx of the Great Song Dynasty is the most advanced battle formation, this kind of battle formation costs a lot, each soldier is heavily armored, and it is worth a lot of money, not to mention the weapons in their hands, countless bows and crossbows and arrows, these are just equipment, and the soldiers of the battle array are also carefully selected, the training of the crossbowmen consumes a lot of arrows every day, and the sword and shield hands are selected by people with infinite strength, and the Mo swordsmen and pikemen in the battle array also need great strength, so once the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty form a battle array, it can be said that they are invincible, if it were not for the lack of war horses in the Great Song Dynasty, there would be no result of the Jurchens going south。
"General, the phalanx of the Song people is a turtle shell, we must think of some way, otherwise we will be slowly forced away. ”
The army of Western Xia regrouped a few hundred meters away, and a general looked at the phalanx slowly advancing in the distance, and couldn't help but say anxiously.
"Rush again!"
Brother Richard looked at the moving array, roared, raised the mace hanging on the war horse, and shouted: "Warriors of Western Xia, let's use the weapons in our hands to smash the heads of these Song dogs!"
In the roar of Brother Richard, he knocked the war horse hard, and for a while, hundreds of war horses rushed away, and tens of thousands of cavalry screaming people behind him rushed to kill.
When the Western Xia cavalry attacked, the crossbowmen behind the sword and shield hands quickly retreated along the sides, and the Mo knife hands that were originally behind the crossbowmen swiped to the front, and countless long knives stretched out, like pieces of knives erected.
Brother Richard rushed to the front of the phalanx, and with a fierce lift of the reins, the horse's hooves in front of the war horse suddenly rose fiercely, and struck on the huge iron shield, directly shaking the two sword and shield hands to the ground, and the mace in Richard Ge's hand slammed down, directly shattering the iron shield of a sword and shield hand in front of him, he was a master of the Yin and Yang Realm, and his strength was naturally extraordinary.
It's just that just when he was about to rush towards the big array, a long knife slashed down fiercely.
"When!" When the long knife and the mace collided, the three strong Mo Dao Men were directly shocked out, but Richard Brother was shocked by the huge force and retreated directly, and the trend of rushing into the phalanx was just about to be contained, and the tiger's mouth broke, and before he could react, the Mo Dao Hand who was injured just now immediately rolled up his body, held his head, and lay on the ground, because the Mo Dao Hand behind him directly stepped on their bodies and rushed over, if they were seriously injured or killed, the Mo Dao Hand behind him would not pay attention to it at this time.
When the three Mo knife men stepped on, they waved the Mo knife fiercely, and the war horse under Brother Richard was also directly aimed at several Mo knives.
Brother Richard's expression changed greatly, he carried the reins in one hand, and forcibly lifted the war horse out, although he was brave, but the soldiers under his command did not have this kind of good luck, and in a few bangs, countless soldiers were directly killed, even if some soldiers blocked the past, the war horses under his command were also split into two.
When the Xixia soldiers touched, they immediately divided the troops on both sides, so that the cavalry behind them continued to bombard the large array in front of them, but the Mo knife in the hands of the Mo knife hand continued to chop, once there was a loss, the Mo knife hand behind him also continued to advance.
And when the Western Xia soldiers divided the troops on both sides, they were also strangled by the cavalry of the Great Song Dynasty.
After this round of confrontation, the phalanx of the Great Song Dynasty suffered nearly 100 casualties, but the phalanx was protected, but the cavalry of Western Xia lost nearly 1,000 people, especially the war horses were more seriously damaged.
"General, the phalanx of the Song people is unbreakable, especially since there are still a large number of cavalry around them, how to face it!"
Brother Richard's expression was gloomy as he looked at the approaching phalanx, and he knew in his heart that as long as they pushed, the Great Song cavalry lurking on both sides would pounce on them like hungry wolves, tearing them up and devouring them.
"The Tang people's way of fighting! Could it be that the Han people really want to come back, how could it be? How could this kind of thing happen! (To be continued.) )
