Across the Water Margin: Officials of Ximen

Presumably this is why the general of the Chu army dared to fight me head-on, right?

Li Liangfu once again showed a look of disdain.

Such a phalanx tactic of heavy infantry combined with archers is a tactic that the Song Army has used rottenly in the past.

As long as the infantry in front destroyed the Chu army's fence and refused horses, Li Liangfu could command the cavalry to break through the Chu army's phalanx with his eyes closed, trampling those elite infantry into flesh!

Outside Pingxia City, Ren Dejing, who was making preparations for siege and escape, also murmured in his heart as he watched the stalemate war in the south.

Could it be that my own feeling is wrong, so the Chu army's ability is no more than this?

Could it be that Li Liangfu can win a complete victory today?

Don't let people realize that you have a plan to withdraw troops!

On the tower of Pingxia City, Ma Kuo and Liu Qi were also watching the battle outside the city.

Liu Kai frowned and said to Ma Kuo: "Brother, although the infantry of Privy Councilor Ximen Qing's army is strong, I'm afraid they can't stop the clash of Xixia elite cavalry! The outcome of this battle is unpredictable!"

Ma Kuo said to Liu Kai: "Brother Yu, Brother Yu is not worried about the strength of Brother Ximen Qing's army. Brother Ximen Qing's Musketeers have not shown their power yet!

What brother Yu is worried about at this time is, if Brother Ximenqing comes to rescue you and me alone, will the Xixia people from the Rong army follow. "

Before Ma Kuo finished speaking, he heard Liu Kai say: "Brother, look at the smoke and dust billowing in the south. Could it be that there are troops coming?"

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

When the Chu and Xia armies were engaged in battle, billows of smoke and dust suddenly rose from behind Ximen Qing's army.

At this time, not only Ma Kuo and Liu Kai on the top of the city saw it, but also Ren Dejing outside the city and Li Liangfu, the chief general of the Xixia Chinese Army's formation.

Li Liang's auxiliary army was only three arrows away from Ximen Qing's army, and he and his soldiers could vaguely hear Dang Xiangyu's shouts of killing coming from the smoke and dust.

Suddenly, amidst the sound of horseshoes, Li Liangfu saw many banners of the Xixia Army appearing behind Ximen Qingjun. The battle flags of King Jin Licha and General Bei Zhongzhiping were raised high, especially in the sun. dazzling.

With the appearance of the Xixia army flag, the banners and flags of the Ximen Qing army's rear army fluttered wildly, and the sound of killing shook the sky. It was obvious that a scuffle had broken out.

"His Royal Highness Jin's army has arrived! The time to defeat the enemy is now! An order has been sent to the front army to retreat in the direction of the Hulu River to make way for the cavalry..."

Li Liangfu issued the military order excitedly.

"Woo~ woo~ woo~"

The horns of cavalry preparing to charge came from the formation of the Xixia Army.

The infantry of the former Xixia Army who was fighting with the Ximen Qing Army heard the sound of the horn, and retreated to the Hulu River on the left as planned, making way for the cavalry to charge forward.

It is easy to come and difficult to go, how can Yue Fei and other generals allow the Xixia army to retreat calmly?

Under Yue Fei's command, the archers fired at the retreating infantry of the Xixia Army and killed hundreds more.

The infantry of the Xixia Army left thousands of corpses and ran away without looking back. This battle can be described as heavy losses.

However, they also completed the task of the chief general Li Liangfu, destroying the wooden fence and horse repelling that prevented the cavalry from charging, and tested the defensive strength of the Chu army's formation.

"All troops charge!"

Li Liangfu pointed forward with the spear in his hand and gave the order for the cavalry to charge.

"Whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo"

Accompanied by the rapid sound of horns, Li Liangfu's [-] cavalry formed a front arrow formation suitable for charging, and rushed towards Ximenqing's army formation.

As the commander-in-chief of the whole army, Li Liangfu didn't foolishly lead the charge on the front arrows, but was guarded by hundreds of soldiers and was in the center of the cavalry charge formation.

There are many warriors in the army, and their own brave fighters act as arrows.

Fifty thousand cavalry went into battle at the same time, and the sound of horseshoes was as dense as the raindrops of a torrential rain, causing the ground to tremble.

This power is enough to sweep away all obstacles in front of the horse.

"Fire!"

Ximen Qing gave the order coldly.

The rear army of the Ximen army stopped suddenly, and the banners of the Xixia brother Li Cha's army disappeared.

Shi Wengong and Su Dingjun, who pretended to be the Xixia army to lure the enemy, dropped the banner of the Xixia army, held high the battle flag of the Chu army, and spread out from the left and right wings to the front of the formation.

Under the leadership of Lu Zhishen, Duan Jingzhu, Fan Qiong and other generals, the cavalry on the left and right wings of the Ximen Qing Army spread out to both sides, charging the flanks of the Xixia Army cavalry, forming a crane wing formation.

At the same time, hundreds of curved smoothbore artillery from the Ximen Qinghou Army roared, and the shells whizzed, passed over the heads of the forward cavalry of the Xixia Army, and landed in the middle of the Xixia cavalry formation.

"Boom~Boom~Boom~"

This is the real center of blooming, the sound of explosions one after another, blowing up the cavalry of the Xixia Army.

Li Liangfu, the leader of the Xixia Army, was very unfortunate. His safest Chinese army became the target of concentrated artillery bombardment by the Ximen Qing Army.

In the deafening explosion, Li Liangfu's flag guard will be blown into the sky together with his handsome flag.

The moment Li Liangfu turned his head in surprise, a shell screamed and landed in front of his horse.

After a loud "boom~", Li Liangfu's eyes went dark, and he fell heavily to the ground.

The first round of artillery fire from the Ximen Qing army accurately destroyed the central command of the Xixia army, throwing the Xixia army into chaos.

When the artillery made great achievements, the muskets in the hands of [-] musketeers also shot in turn in an orderly manner, pouring thousands of projectiles on the cavalry of the Xixia Army.

The Xixia Army adopted a dense assault formation, and almost no cavalry in the front row could escape the fire of muskets.

The knights and horses of the Xixia Army were shot one after another and fell to the ground.

The piled up corpses in front hindered the cavalry charging in the rear, and the cavalry of the Xixia Army slowed down greatly.

Moreover, the horses of these cavalry, like the horses of Brother Richard's army, have never seen the sound of guns.After being frightened at this time, the war horse became unruly and turned around on the battlefield, which disrupted the rhythm of the Xixia cavalry's charge.

On the other hand, the cavalry led by Lu Zhishen and other generals had horses specially trained in Yanggu County, and they were used to fighting with guns.

Taking advantage of the fact that the cavalry horses of the Xixia Army did not listen to the command, Lu Zhishen, Shi Wengong and others commanded the cavalry to surround them from the outside, killing the cavalry on both wings of the Xixia Army without the power to fight back, and also forcing the Xixia Army cavalry to scatter and escape.

Under the fierce attack of guns and artillery, the huddled cavalry of the Xixia Army caused a rapid increase in casualties.

The main general disappeared, the striker died in battle, a large number of cavalry in the army died in battle, and the charge formation of the Xixia Army was completely disrupted.Although there were no wooden fences and no horses in front, the cavalry of the Xixia Army could no longer rush to the front of the heavy armored infantry of Jiang Zhong and Hong Zhen.

The trend of victory and defeat has undoubtedly appeared.

Ren Dejing stared dumbfounded at the battle in the south, thankful for his premonition.
