At dusk, on the edge of the vast desert, in the Song army camp.

Water trucks filled with wood were pulled to the battalions. All the buckets were opened, and the preparations of each battalion and the deputy preparations, all handed down the empty wooden barrels in front of the entire battalion's officers and soldiers.

Of course, no drop of water flowed out! Today is a drink. People and horses who have been thirsty for several days have had a good time drinking, and some of them are left. They are all distributed along with dry food and rewards for the troops. Every officer and soldier's water bag is full.

Prepare to shout, the deputy was ready to shout.

"See? The bucket is empty! There is no water!"

"My boys, there is no water now, so I can only fight against the Western thief Liaogou!"

"Either you die of thirst or you will drink the blood of the Western thief Liao Gou!"

"Are you going to die of thirst or drink blood?"

"Drink blood! Drink blood..."

Seeing that the soldiers were screaming, the battalion preparation generals and deputy preparation generals began to bewitch: "Supervisor Xuan has an order! Tonight's decisive battle, there will be advances but not retreats, and seek life in death. Anyone who beheads at one level will be given 100 acres of Shuofang Field, and the minor envoy will be transferred to an official!"

"Thousand Victories! Thousand Victories!"

"Kill the Western thieves and exchange land..."

There is no house in Kaifeng Prefecture, but there is still a lot of land on Shuofang Road. Gao Qiu actually didn't want to give it, but he couldn't stand Tong Guan's generousness. Tong Guan was the governor of Shuofang Road, and he could handle the land division. So before Gao Qiu sent troops, he told Gao Qiu's military commander that one head would exchange for 100 acres of land, and there was no upper limit! Cutting 10 pieces would be 1,000 acres, and 100 pieces would be 10,000 acres. In short, if you want to be a big landlord, just try to cut people!

The land on Shuofang Road is not attractive to the house slaves and soldiers in Kaifeng Prefecture. They have another standard, which is to exchange their heads for money.

But for the farmers' and soldiers who don't have much knowledge, 100 acres of land can still inspire motivation!

And now it seems that it will not work hard anymore. There is no water left! The bucket is empty. If you can't win, everyone will die of thirst! Instead of dying of thirst, it's better to fight with the Western thief!

"Putting armor!"

The preparations of each battalion and the deputy preparatory members saw that their morale was rising, and began to continue to order.

"The whole team!"

"Each team sets out, the first team follows the deputy preparation; the third team follows the ready to... set off! Sing the military song!"

The new mansion soldiers are new mansion soldiers with battalions as the basic combat unit, and the team below (including the team) are all pure teams. In other words, a team of soldiers are equipped with a weapon, either a spear, a knife, a shield or a bow. Therefore, only when three teams get together can they have complete offensive and defensive capabilities.

The first team of each battalion is a spear team, the second team is a bow and arrow team, and the third team is a sword and shield team. According to Gao Qiu's order (actually issued by military command), today's combat mainly fights hand-to-hand combat, so the preparations and deputy preparers must personally master the spear and sword and shield team.

The sound of war drums and horns was already resounding over the Song army camp that had been erected. The new soldiers of the camp, using the camp, began to leave their camps in a mighty manner, sang the military song "No Clothes" and headed for the designated position.

Outside the Song army camp, thousands of cavalry had already finished armor, turned over horses, and then launched a team of 50 cavalry on the battlefield. They began to approach the Dangxiang Khitan coalition camp about 20 miles away.

The Song army, with a population of only 60,000, now seems to be taking the initiative to attack the camp of more than 100,000 Khitan coalition forces!

This scene made Ganshun, Anhui, Yelu Otla, Xiao Heda and others behind the fence of the Dangxiang Khitan Army camp all a little stupid.

These Song troops are not dragging themselves on the verge of water! They just arrived this morning, and they escaped the heat during the day, and when it was sunset, they were out of the camp to attack!

I have to say that this Gao Qiu is indeed Gao!

They have no water source now, so it will inevitably be unfavorable to delay. It is better to fight immediately while the morale has not dissipated!

"Old Prince," Wu Zu Ganshun felt a little helpless, so he asked for advice from the Liao veteran Yelu Otla, "Can you want to go out of the camp to enemy?"

It must be right to go out...

Because the Western Xia Khitan army had no hard camp to rely on. They were not good at setting up camps, and they did not expect that the Song army would directly attack their camps.

This is not consistent with common sense!

There are more than 100,000 Khitan troops in the Western Xia! The Song army should take a detour for dozens of miles, and then wait for the Western Xia Khitan troops to attack, so where can they directly attack the hard camp?

"It's better to defend the camp!" Yelu Otla looked at the countless spear tips that reflected the dazzling light under the afterglow of the setting sun, and swallowed. "Song Gou's morale is very high. He should first defend the camp, take the enemy's edge, and then fight back with cavalry."

"Okay! Just follow the old prince."

Ganshun had never fought a war, nor did he inherit his mother's fighting spirit... In fact, he was a Confucian scholar or a Buddhist disciple. He fought wars, first relying on his mother, then relying on his younger brother, and in history he also relying on a father-in-law who surrendered to the Western Army of the Song Dynasty.

Xiao Heda added: "The Song army may have a feint attack and then use cavalry to detour our army. It is better to ask the old prince to lead 30,000 Khitan warriors out of the camp and ambush the rear of the camp."

Dan Shun nodded, "That's good!"

...

"You actually guard the camp? The thirty-mile camp is not covered with tall walls, there are no trenches, and even the wooden fences are so sparse. Many places use big trucks to make up their numbers... Can this be defended?"

On the other hand, seeing that the Xixia Party and Xiang coalition forces were not out of the camp, even Gao Qiu, who was actually not in a good position to fight, felt that the other party was commanding blindly.

In order to stop the Song army, Ganshun and Yelu Orat set up a 30-mile battalion. With such a large defensive front, it is naturally impossible to build like an iron barrel. There are not so many materials! Moreover, the Western Xia Khitan coalition has an army of 110,000 to 20,000, which is twice as high as the Song army coming from Baichi City.

So many people are waiting for their work, and they have walked over 200 miles of desert. People with a little bit of military knowledge know that they can win even if they are lying down and fighting... But today they met a Song army that violated military knowledge.

"How to fight?" Gao Qiu asked.

"First feint attack the left wing, then feint attack the right wing, then throw the warriors into the middle to attack a certain place, and finally the cavalry followed up and assaulted the rear of the enemy camp together... They are probably going to collapse!"

Li Yongqi immediately came up with a plan. It was not difficult at all. In the Military Academy, Old Man Murong taught the best way to deal with the mobs to be feinted and pull, and then break through strongly.

Gao Qiu didn't know much, so he looked directly at Wang Bing. Wang Bing said: "Yongzhi's method is good. Why not attack Wu Song and attack his left wing and Xuan Shuai personally attack his right wing. The lower officials personally led the three imperial fronts to break through from the center, and commanded the military opportunity to be dispatched in the center."

"Okay!" Gao Qiu nodded, "That's it!"

...

As Gao Qiu's troops were dispatched and deployed, the night had already fallen. The camp of the Western Xia Khitan Alliance still closed the village gates, and countless butter torches were inserted on the long fence. The night wind pulled the fire to the point of long, reflecting the shadowy human figure. Everyone was nervously watching the scene on the battlefield opposite.

The Song army seemed to have pulled out a long snake formation and lit many bonfires, piled up and there were dozens of them. Behind the bonfire, there were vaguely standing Song army. They did not hold torches, but only bright moonlight shone on their armor, emitting a cold and cold light.

The Song army's light cavalry wandered on the battlefield, and their figures appeared in the darkness, giving people a mysterious and terrifying feeling. However, the Song army's heavy cavalry did not appear, and they must be waiting for the opportunity to attack in the darkness in the distance.

Gan Shun had returned to the central army tent under his sixth squad guards. The defense had been arranged, with the garrison army as the core, escorting the garrison and the hushang army, forming dozens of temporary commands, and deploying along the thirty-mile wooden fence. In order to strengthen the defense, the garrison army was urging the hushang army to pile up sand and sand walls, and at least build a camp wall, and then putting the wooden shield signs on it, so that we would not be afraid of the rain of arrows from the Song army.

In the eyes of the Xixia generals guarding the camp, the attacks of the Song army should still be dominated by bows and crossbows...

In addition, the central army's tent was surrounded by the Six-Director of the Western Xia imperial guards and Iron Harrier Cavalry, with a total of 7,500 people, all of which were the most elite soldiers. They will serve as reserves and fill the breakthrough of the Song army at any time.

As for the 30,000 Khitan cavalry, they had left the camp and set up a deployment behind the camp...

...

"Does it say that you are in robes? You are in the same comrade with me. The king of the army was established, and I am the same spear, and I am the same enemies as you! How do you say that you are in robes? You are in the same vein with me. The king of the army was established, and I am the same spear, and I am the same sling, and I am the same sling with me! How do you say that you are in robes? You are in the same vein with me. The king of the army was established, and I am the same armor, and I am the same vein with me..."

Two generals and more than 8,000 soldiers had formed 18 battalion-level phalanxes at this time, singing the military song "With Clothes", and under the guidance of the moonlight, they walked towards the southern line of the battlefield.

The one who led the new soldiers of these two generals was Wu Song. As Gao Qiu's confidant general, he naturally had to participate in this battle.

And it's the head!

Night battles will be a huge problem for commanders in the years to come! Wu Song is no exception. He has no way to master the situation of 18 battalions this night. However, he has at least dozens of generals, deputy generals, generals, deputy generals, deputy generals, and deputy generals who can rely on. They are either warriors or knights, and are the best officers. In addition, 54 teams and 54 teams are probably reliable! Although they are all from the palace soldiers (the government soldiers who have participated in the Battle of Tongwan and performed well), under the guidance of superior officers, they can barely master a team.
