I became the son of Renzong

With firearms and new armaments, nearly twice as many troops as Xixia have invested in, and ambushed in advance in all areas that may become battlefields.Every area should be able to form a situation where more players play less, and they are all waiting for work.

Winning should be certain, it depends on the degree of winning.

The basis for winning is that the Xixia people never imagined that their side could ambush a few days in advance, or even a month in advance, and they never imagined that there would be military rations that do not require fire to make food.

"boom……"

When Zhao Xi ordered to fire the first unloaded cannonball, the Song army, which was encircling, began to slowly advance towards the center.

At this time, the Xixia people also began to gather.

It's not that Zhao Xi is playing the style of a gentleman, waiting until the enemy is ready before going to war.He also thought about a sneak attack, but the number of Xixia people was not three to five thousand, but seven to eighty thousand.

Sneak attack, it is definitely impossible to press the whole line. A small number of troops sneak attack, whether it is the cavalry of the Western Army or the infantry of the New Army, as long as they enter the Xixia camp, there will be no return.

Since it is encirclement and suppression, there is an overwhelming advantage, and there is no need to sacrifice soldiers to play the so-called sneak attack tactics.

Therefore, it has become the current situation of head-to-head confrontation.

The chariots with the top removed... are rail carriages, and three gunpowder launchers are fixed on each chariot.

At this time, the chariot was no longer drawn by horses, but was pushed forward by soldiers behind.

Seen from the front, it is like iron plates moving forward one by one.

Immediately following the chariot was the wheel cannon, followed by rows of new troops with muskets, and then followed closely by the western army...

At this time, neither side is the front, and which side is the flank, except for the north side of Haoshuichuan, which is the direction from which the Xixia people entered the canyon, which is slowly approaching from both sides, and the other directions are exactly the same...all chariots are heading towards the canyon. Push forward, compress.

At this time, if the Xixia people turned their heads and retreated immediately, Zhao Xi really had nothing to do.

Will the Xixia retreat?

the answer is negative.Without any contact, even if they don't know the chariot, they don't think their cavalry can't attack it.

That's it.

When the Xixia people saw chariots approaching from three sides, they didn't seem to panic at all... To be honest, Zhao Xi really admired the Xixia people.

They were all surrounded. Although the speed of the chariot's advance was very slow, the entire encirclement was about to close, but people didn't care at all.

Just when Zhao Xi was thinking about how the Xixia people would respond, the Xixia people moved.

A war horse gallops outward from the center, and cavalry are constantly gathering in the direction of the three-sided siege... This is a counterattack!

"Di Shuai..."

To be honest, in strategic planning, Zhao Xi consciously surpassed anyone in this era, because he has thousands of years of insight.

However, he still tends to let Di Qing decide how to arrange tactics and choose the timing of battle in this kind of battlefield where cold weapons are the mainstay.

Zhao Xi is not very familiar with the speed of the horse's charge, the distance of the charge, and the explosive power of the horse, especially for the Xixia war horse.

But Di Qing knew the shooting distance of gunpowder bullets and the effective attack distance of wheel guns and muskets.

Therefore, Zhao Xi needs Di Qing's advice on how to fight and what tactics to adopt.

"Your Highness, after the horses charge up, it should be the time to launch the gunpowder shells. The elevation is only 25 to [-]."

"As for the wheel gun... After the first round of gunpowder is fired, the wheel gun fires directly. For the musket, I suggest that the soldiers fire when they can see the faces of the horses and cavalry..."

Di Qing was not sure, but suggested this based on experience.

The speed of the war horse, once it charges up, one or two miles, that is the distance of a charge.

It takes time for gunpowder shells to land after they are fired.

Since the Song army had no distinction between the front and the two wings, the Xixia people also divided the cavalry into three directions for the Song army's encirclement.

War is imminent!

"Rumble..."

With such a sound, tens of thousands of horses galloped up, and the entire Haoshui River was immediately covered by the sound of horseshoes.

At this time, Zhao Xi could barely hear the whispers of the people around him.

At this time, the three chariots had moved closer together, and Zhao Xi was standing on top of the chariot.

Different flags were waved at the four corners of the chariot...

opened.

Chapter 341

Just when the Xixia war horses were about to charge and Zhao Xi waved a flag on the podium, the advancing chariot stopped, and the following wheel guns quickly interspersed between the chariots.

On the other hand, the new army behind them accelerated their march, boarded the chariots in an orderly row, and quickly pulled them onto the chariots. Facing the Xixia people, there was a half-person-high barrier on the side of the chariots. .

The chariot is very large, but only three gunpowder launchers are installed, which is to reserve space for the new army.

The new army mainly uses muskets, even if it is a flintlock gun, it still cannot fire continuously. This is doomed, the new army must be built to fight.

On each chariot, there is at least one new army commanded, and they are still lined up in five rows.

"Elevation 25, launch!"

When he yelled this, the Xixia people's horses had already charged up.That is to say, in the space of the chariot, if it is outside, no one can hear it at all, and all the ears are filled with the sound of horseshoes.

The horses raised dust, accompanied by the shouts of the Xixia people... To be honest, Zhao Xi had to admit at this time that the momentum of the cavalry was really fierce in this era.

At this moment, Zhao Xi's heartbeat was almost in tune with the sound of horseshoes.

Tens of thousands of war horses galloped forward, but behind the horse team, there was nothing to be seen, and the central camp of the Xixia people was also covered by the dust.

The whole area, with a radius of more than ten miles, was covered by the dust of the war horse... This is the power of the war horse.

Zhao Xi looked at Di Qing under the podium... He should not be calm at this time, although Zhao Xi didn't see Di Qing's trembling hand holding Ma Qian, and his face was covered by his mask, but Zhao Xi knew that , Di Qing was excited at this moment.

Di Qing is a person who belongs to the battlefield.

"Bang... bang bang bang... bang bang bang bang bang..."

The Xixia people charged on three sides, and similarly, the gunpowder launchers forming a circle with three gaps were also fired at the same time.

Sure enough, the Xixia warhorses got used to the gunpowder bombs, but only a little. When the gunpowder bombs exploded among the horses, the war horses were still confused...

It's just that, as soon as the gunpowder stopped, the Xixia people could quickly control the horse... It's a pity that this requires another charge.
