Chapter 622 A surprise attack under the fireworks... (Part [-])
Chapter 631

After ten breaths, Fei Tingdarong waved his hand again, and another thousand cavalry rushed out. Following his command, a thousand cavalry on each side of the left and right wings galloped out quickly, heading towards the two wings of the camp outside the east gate. .

The remaining one thousand riders still stood silently under the city wall, waiting for Fei Tingdarong's military order to attack.

Standing on top of the city, although Sachen couldn't hear anything except the harsh chirping in his ears, he still had eyes as sharp as an eagle's.

Seeing the skillful command of this old general, Sa Chen nodded with satisfaction. As expected of a veteran general who has been in the army for decades, qualifications are always the same thing. The important thing is that he is skilled in military tactics. Under the circumstances, maybe such an on-the-spot command can't be as smooth as this.

This time, let’s see what those despicable Song people will do?Feeling the brain-piercing pain coming from his two ears, Sachen wished he could go out and chop off the heads of those damn Song soldiers.

I will definitely have a chance... Sachen said to himself, it's okay. He obviously thinks so in his heart and says so, but he can't hear his own voice. Such a mood is really... If you beat the dog, you still have to beat the wolf.

At this moment, Sachen's eagle-like sharp gaze suddenly bulged, and part of the first row of elite cavalry that charged past seemed to suddenly disappear, as if it had disappeared from the horizon.

"There are traps..." When they rushed to the high platform and were still more than ten steps away, those elite Xixia cavalry soldiers noticed that there was a road with a width of two feet about seven or eight steps away from the platform. Zhang, a deep pit with a length of more than a hundred steps...

The knights tried their best to tighten the reins, even if the horse's mouth was cracked and bleeding, and the horse was neighing, but in the rush, how could they hold back their feet? .

Nearly half of the more than 200 cavalrymen who charged towards the pit fell directly into the pit, while the other half finally stopped embarrassingly.

However, what is waiting for them is the countless crossbow arrows and arrows like flying locusts. No matter how tough the armor on their bodies is, there will still be crossbow arrows piercing deeply into the armor gap, or piercing the face. Armor does damage.

This is not over yet, the second wave has just begun to assault, when I heard the sound of drums from the camp of the Song Army, and then heard a burst of dense creaking and hitting of wood, I raised my head and looked towards the sky , you can see that a pile of rocks is leaping from the air and scattered down.

Although it didn't cause much damage to those Xixia's assault formations, it still made their assault formations chaotic.

These, of course, were another type of siege weapon brought over by Mr. Zhong: the catapult.The distance of this thing is really close, so naturally it cannot attack outside the range of the opponent's long-range weapon like a bed crossbow.

But it's still great for defense, but it's okay to deal with infantry, and it's really not enough lethality for scattered cavalry.

"Shoot, keep shooting..." As the officers roared, rows of sharp crossbow bolts rushed towards the enemy with screams.

As for the two thousand Western Xia cavalry, they were quietly advancing towards the two sides of the camp outside the east gate.What they didn't expect was that there were [-] heavy armored iron halls and [-] Yuanyou armored cavalry hidden in the hidden places on both sides of Dongdaying.

At this moment, Zhe Keshi moved towards those ghostly Chongchong Xixia cavalrymen who had pushed towards the land of Lixu, couldn't bear it anymore, put down their visors, drew their knives, and the whole cavalry was like a wave of latent energy Brown rapids gushed out of dark rivers.

The gunpowder arrows on the sky were scattered like fireworks, and on the gray-black ground, the air strike had already begun, and a bloody fight was going on.

"Prepare to attack, no, there is an enemy attack, team, team, there are enemy cavalry on our left side!" The general who was about to command the cavalry to charge towards the south side of the Song Army camp outside the east gate felt as if the ground had collapsed that day. After the sound of rumbling hooves, his expression changed drastically, and he raised his voice and howled.

Less than one mile, that is, 500 meters, and the speed of a fast horse only takes 30 seconds, and according to the timing method of this era, it is only between eight and ten breaths.

With such a short distance, the Xixia cavalry who had just entered the predetermined assault position could barely turn their horses around, and they didn't even have time to speed up.

He saw that the enemy cavalry on the opposite side was less than thirty steps away from him. Under the light of the fire in the distance and the cold starlight in the sky, the eyes of the Xixia cavalry suddenly widened.

What they saw was actually the iron harriers, the most proud heavy cavalry of the Great Xia Kingdom in the past. At this moment, these iron harriers were silently waving the weapons in their hands, rushing towards them.

With only time to roar and yell meaninglessly, the Xixia iron cavalry that had just started bumped into the heavy cavalry that had accelerated to the extreme.

The collision between the two sides was like a heavy truck accelerating at full speed colliding with a group of tractors that were turning.Accompanied by a dull crash.

The speed of Song's heavy cavalry stagnated suddenly.However, the formation of the Xixia cavalry was directly pierced, and countless Xixia cavalry including men and horses were smashed to pieces.

The heavy horses' hooves trampled on the fallen Xixia cavalry and their mounts mercilessly.Blood, minced meat, and bone stubble gave this cold yellow wilderness a stinking red color.

Liang Yibu roared sharply, waved the weapons in his hands, and tried his best to inspire the morale of the soldiers around him, asking them to raise their spears and stab them towards the gaps in the simple wall of the village, so that those more soldiers could use The bows and arrows in their hands are throwing rain arrows like locusts, or they are shooting head-on to kill those Xixia soldiers and horses who are making a frantic frontal assault.

Even after a day of construction, at this moment, under the crazy attack of the Xixia people, several walls of the village have been dragged down by the Xixia people with cavalry, and the soldiers of both sides have been strangled together.

Compared with these Xixia soldiers who were enraged by the fire in the ancient city of Wuyan, although Liang Yibu's Han soldiers were very brave, but at this moment, the opponent's madness forced Liang Yibu to take a defensive position.

Fortunately, the Han army he brought had the highest morale. If those Tibetan soldiers were used to reduce the soldiers, they might not even be able to withstand the Xixia people's first charge and would scatter in all directions.

After all, if you want to boost the morale of the soldiers, you can't do it in a short time, and now, Liang Yibu can only grit his teeth and give up.

After all, there were only five thousand Xixia soldiers who came out of the ancient city of Wuyan. Under such circumstances, should I still ask for help from the Song army at the east gate, or ask for help from the Song army cavalry who had been ambushing behind me before? ?
