The sound of hooves was like thunder, and the Western Xia cavalry was getting closer and closer, one thousand steps, eight hundred steps, six hundred steps, five hundred steps, three hundred steps... they had gradually approached the range of the divine arm crossbow.

The effective killing distance of the Divine Arm Crossbow is 150 steps, but the total range can reach 250 steps.

"Shoot!" With Li Yanqing's order, as the red flag was waving, the sound of the clapper suddenly sounded, and ten thousand divine arm crossbows of the Song army were activated at the same time. The soldiers lit the fuses one after another, and ten thousand arrows soared into the air, forming a dense rain of arrows in the air, making a strange sound, just like a locust plague, shooting towards the Western Xia cavalry two hundred steps away.

The cavalry of the Western Xia army raised their shields one after another, and the rain of arrows roared and hit the shields, but before the cavalry could react, the crossbow arrows exploded.

There was a crackling sound of explosions in the team, and the shields were blown up one after another. The war horses were frightened and lost order. They began to rush around in the team, causing the cavalrymen in the team to fall over and be trampled by the war horses. They were immediately bloody and bloody. A rain of arrows directly caused more than 500 cavalry to be dismounted and died tragically.

But this is by no means the real effect of the burst arrow, but the real effect is that the shields of more than 4,000 Western Xia cavalry were exploded.

The cavalry of the Western Xia army rushed to 150 steps. The second round of the Song army's arrow formation was launched. A drum sounded, and four thousand divine arm crossbows were fired first. A dense rain of arrows rose into the air, forming a long black cloud of arrows in the air, which instantly turned into black dots, shooting towards the soldiers of the Western Xia army head-on, and the Western Xia cavalry raised their shields to greet them.

The Song army's divine arm crossbow dominates the world. It not only has a long range, but also has strong strength, especially when it is shot from the air. The arrows are even more gravity-willed when they descend, making the broken shields of the Western Xia cavalry a decoration.

The powerful and heavy armor-transparent crossbow arrow pierced the cavalry's shield and shot through the iron armor. The cavalry were shot into the arrows and fell from the horse, and the wailing sounds were everywhere. Then the second wave, the third wave of crossbow arrows roared like raindrops, so dense that it was breathless. The long arrow fell down, shot through the shield, and shot through the enemy's face and chest.

The Western Xia cavalry seemed to be crops destroyed by storms, falling down one by one, blood splattering everywhere, and tragically wailing. The morale of the enemy disappeared sharply. Their confidence began to shake, and the murderous aura faded. The attack of the Western Xia cavalry was hit hard. The Song army only shot two rounds of arrows, and the 20,000 cavalry reduced by 1.5%, and more than 3,000 people died under the crossbow.

Richard, who was watching the battle behind, gasped. When he saw the explosion of fire, he realized something was wrong. When the cavalry fell down by arrows, he felt heartbroken as if he had never seen before. If it were ordinary cavalry, he would not feel sorry for them. These 20,000 cavalry were the elite among the elite!

But now he had no choice but to grit his teeth and said, "Blow the trumpet, charge!"

‘Woooo’

The sound of the horn continued to sound, which was the horn of the charge. The Western Xia cavalry was worthy of being the elite. Inspired by the sound of the horn, they quickly adjusted their slightly weak formation and launched an attack on the 10,000 crossbowmen of the Song army from 60 steps away.

The Divine Arm Crossbow Army was still not showing any weakness. Ten thousand people fired the last round of crossbow arrows at the same time. They used two-four-inch armor-transparent iron arrows. The arrows were like elongated spindles, streamlined, made of good fine iron, and were extremely sharp and could penetrate any armor. As a clapper sounded, ten thousand crossbow arrows shot towards the cavalry that had rushed to sixty steps like a black cloud.

The Western Xia cavalry also seemed to feel the power of this round of arrow formation. They raised their shields at the same time, and only a click sound was heard. The shields were pierced by crossbow arrows and shattered one after another. However, the shields also removed half of the powerful force of the crossbow arrows. Ten thousand iron arrows did not cause much damage to people, but the war horses could not withstand the powerful penetration of crossbow arrows. More than a thousand war horses in the first row were shot and fell to the ground, and many cavalrymen behind were tripped, and the cavalry again had a slight chaos.

At this time, Li Yanqing ordered, "The crossbow soldiers retreat, and the heavy armored infantry come!"

Ten thousand crossbowmen quickly retreated, and three thousand heavy armored infantry appeared behind them. This was the first time that heavy armored infantry had been put into actual combat. They had been training for four months, and whether they could succeed was here.

Guan Sheng shouted loudly, and the three thousand heavily armored infantry suddenly listed their formations. They were divided into two rows in front and back, about five feet apart. They half knelt on the ground, pressing one end of the long handle of the sword on the ground, and the long blade pierced the air.

At this time, 15,000 cavalry came in line with dense rain of arrows. Their speed was getting faster and faster. The sound of horse hooves was like thunder, and their momentum was like storm waves, destroying everything, invincible, and rushing towards the densely defended Song soldiers with an unstoppable violent violent approach.

The three thousand heavy armored infantry are like a sea-stabilizing needle. No matter how surging and roaring the waves, they are still motionless.

The cavalry rushed ten steps away in an instant. The cavalry in the front row had seen two rows of long shining shining thorns. They were all extremely frightened, but the cavalry in front had nowhere to escape and could not retreat. They were wrapped in cavalry behind them. They had to raise their spears, close their eyes, and scream in despair.

"boom!"

The war horses rushed into the bayonet group, and blood splattered everywhere, neighing everywhere. The cavalry in the first row, along with their horses, were pierced by the slashing sword. The cavalry behind continued to collide with them, and the war horses fell one after another. The huge inertia lifted many cavalry out of the heads of heavy armored infantry and fell into the Song army formation. The cavalry had huge inertia and was difficult to stop, and a flesh wall of more than ten feet wide quickly formed in front of the Song army formation.

Li Yanqing could see clearly, and he sneered and ordered: "Go to thunder!"

The drums were loud, and more than a hundred small catapults appeared behind the heavy armored infantry. They fired together. Hundreds of throwing thunders flew over the heads of the heavy armored infantry. They exploded one after another in the group of cavalry a hundred steps away. The war horses screamed, and the soldiers screamed. The cavalry were blown down one after another. The Western Xia cavalry was in a dilemma and suddenly became in chaos.

The explosion of the thunder was a signal. Three thousand heavily armored infantry changed their formation. They stood up and raised their horse-slaying swords high to prepare for the coming cavalry. At the same time, 60,000 soldiers from the east and west wings rushed towards the enemy cavalry and surrounded the cavalry from both sides, while 20,000 Song cavalry rushed from both sides to 10,000 Xixia infantry three miles away.

This is a series of tactics, from the launch of the divine arm crossbow, heavy armored infantry attacks to the sky-shaking thunder throws, to the encirclement on both sides, and to the attack of 20,000 cavalry. Once activated, there is no pause in the middle, and it is almost done in one go, and the Xixia cavalry company has no time to retreat.

It was too late to realize that it was not good. Sixty thousand troops gathered from both sides, and 10,000 of them were the fastest, just like a bag sealing, cutting off the retreat route of the Western Xia cavalry. The remaining 50,000 troops quickly and quickly shrinking, compressing more than 10,000 Western Xia cavalry into a small space with a radius of only one mile.

This is the biggest weakness of attacking the central army. Once the formation of the central army cannot be quickly broken, it is very likely to be surrounded by the opponent. Both sides are planning to see who has the more substantial capital. Obviously, the Western Xia cavalry lost, but losing this will be a disaster.

Brother Richard was panicked and shouted: "Blow the horn and retreat!"

"Woo! Woo!"

The horn of retreat was blew up, and the surrounded Xixia cavalry wanted to turn around and break through, but it was no longer possible. The 80,000 army surrounded 15,000 cavalry in layers, so dense that even a fly could not fly out.

At the same time, 20,000 cavalrymen, one left and one right, surrounded and fought from north to south to 10,000 Xixia infantry.

This is the most powerful tactical cooperation of the Song army so far. One hundred thousand troops were launched at the same time, linked together. This must be done through training and full of training, which fully reflects the excellent quality of the Song army in Jingzhao.

Brother Richard was almost desperate. He had no choice but to divide 10,000 infantry into two groups to fight against the Song cavalry that came from both sides. The two sides fought fiercely in an instant.

The biggest advantage of cavalry is that they can run at high speed, making it beyond the reach of infantry chasing, and can quickly kill them, and catch the infantry off guard.

But if the cavalry loses its mobility, it is like a bound elephant, and its huge body is dragged down by it. In the narrow space, the cavalry may not be the opponent of the infantry.

The densely packed infantry holding spears, forming an ocean of guns. The spears stabbed towards the cavalry from all sides. There were 10,000 god-arm crossbows on the outside and kept shooting arrows in the middle. The Western Xia cavalry continued to reduce their personnel. After an hour, the initial 15,000 cavalry surrounded by inside was reduced to 6,000, but the trend of reducing personnel did not stop. The Song army was constantly compressing the enemy's space.
