The 18th Battalion infantry led by Wu Song, in a slogan of snare drums, shouted the slogan "Kill the enemy! Kill the enemy!" in a snare drum, and rushed towards the left wing of the Dangxiang Khitan coalition camp.

The brigade of the brigade and the brigade were already driven by the garrison, gathering in chaos, looking at the moonlight, shouting slogans like thunder, and advancing like a wall. Everyone was stunned, and their arms trembled unconsciously when they got the sword, shield, bow and arrow. Most of them were on the battlefield for the first time, and they must be afraid!

In fact, like them, most of the new government soldiers of the 18th battalion who were advancing in formation were the first new recruits. However, it is possible to forge a hundred and dozens of soldiers wearing strong and stern savages to form a battle formation side by side. Moreover, the new government army is well organized, and it also has a large number of the best professional officers in this era and "non-commissioned officers" (miscellaneous military officials) who have been on the battlefield who are assigned to the battalion level, while the non-commissioned officers are assigned to the battalion level (equivalent to the squad). Now one level is pressing one level, and it is very good to unite the troops into a group, shouting slogans, and advancing in unison.

Moreover, the previous "water cutoff performance" and the heavy reward standard for a thief's head to exchange for a hundred acres of land all gave these soldiers who had just started on the battlefield a courageous position... All of them knew that only by winning could they survive and become the landlord class!

On the side of the Dangxiang people, the situation was very bad. The garrison was just a soldier selected from the Dangxiang tribe. Although their personal martial arts were good, they had not received any training from the officers, and most of them didn't even know how to control the fire and the fire.

As the Song army advanced like a wall, the discussion gradually sounded among the Dangxiang army, and there were even more wailing sounds.

"Song Gou, Song Gou is here!"

"My God, Song Gou's soldiers are so strict!"

"Didn't it mean that Song Gou's soldiers are weak and vulnerable? Is this the vulnerable Song Army?"

"I've all reached Xingqing Mansion, how could it be vulnerable?"

"Song Gou is strong, strong! We can't go back!"

"When I crossed the Yellow River, I knew that I couldn't go back this time. I don't want so many fields and villages on the east bank of the Yellow River, and even the trees were cut down, and the fishing boats on the Yellow River were gone..."

"Is this going to abandon Hedong and Song Gou to paddle the river and control it?"

"I'm afraid I'm afraid I want..."

"No noise! ​​No noise! ​​Those who violate the order will be killed!"

"Array! Bow and arrow preparation..."

The garrison generals from the Dangxiang nationality finally reacted and shouted loudly for maintaining order. However, the order could be maintained, and the morale of those soldiers who were forced to be cannon fodder and the men who were hit by the army could not be encouraged.

Because Xixia was not their country! Most of their "outsiders" were Han people. In Xixia, they were third- and fourth-class untouchables. Even if they were used as troops, they had no good armor and weapons for them to use. They were nothing more than a cloth suit, a dull knife, a wooden shield, a wooden gun, and a inferior bow and arrow. They could barely be able to be cannon fodder.

However, such configuration is enough to fight against the Song army in the past. Because the Song army does not fight much, and does not take the initiative to attack. The fight is nothing more than a formation and a firing arrow, using the flesh and blood of the soldiers and the flesh-and-blooded body of the Song army to consume the strength of the Song army's crossbowmen. It is also a good way to fight.

Tonight, the generals of the Party Xiang army, who were in charge of command, followed this old method. When the Song army formed a formation, they began to force the soldiers and the men to carry the troops to carry them in rows of steps behind the wooden fences and signs, sand and soil defense line, and set off bows and arrows to prepare to face the enemy.

The first rocket wrapped in a linen and soaked in grease was the first rocket that was wrapped in a linen, and the arrows had been removed. Before launch, the soldiers in charge of ignition ignited all the rockets with torches. Then they shot them out and fell on the sand in a row. Because there were no arrows, a considerable number of rockets did not penetrate the sand, but fell on the ground. The flames were not extinguished and still emitted starry light. This marked the maximum range of the bow and arrow, which was actually not very far, only sixty or seventy steps.

If it was during the day, this range would not threaten the Song army with the Divine Arm Bow (in fact, the new military soldiers did not have the Divine Arm Bow), but now it is night... it is dark and hard to see clearly if you go out a few dozen steps, and it is not a problem if all the ranges are shorter.

The officers leading the team at all levels of the Dangxiang people were sweating in their hands at this time, and they looked at the Song army's strict brigade and gradually approached their own range.

There were too many infantrymen in the Song Dynasty, so many that they could form human walls. With such a high density, wouldn’t you be afraid of being shot down by arrows? By the way, they must be heavily armored infantry! Everyone was wearing armor, right?

It's really painful to fight with such an enemy!

Something even more painful happened again! The Song army did not stop in front of the starry sky, but stepped into the "forbidden zone" marked by the collision and the lodging army without hesitation!

Are they crazy?

Forgot to bring a bow and arrow?

All the soldiers of the Xixia army were stunned. For a moment, they forgot to shoot arrows. Until the generals of the garrison reacted and gave a loud order. Then they heard a bang of bowstrings in the air, and countless feather arrows shot out and rushed straight towards the brigade that was coming from the Song army!

Because Wu Song had confirmed that the Western thieves did not dare to go out to fight, he adjusted the queue before the brigade rushed forward.

The eighteen battalions were divided into three columns, each with six battalions side by side. However, the teams under each battalion were adjusted, the six battalions in the front were under the sabre and shield hands, the six battalions in the second column were composed of archers, and the third column was the spearmen.

So the first thing that entered the attack range of the Western Xia army was 18 sword and shield teams, a total of 2,880 sword and shield soldiers. Each team was a separate sword and shield formation, which was ten to sixteen dense rectangular formations, and advanced with sharp arrows falling like raindrops. The sword and shield hands walking in the front row of the team were shielded in front of them with shields to resist arrows flying from the front. The eleventh row of sword and shield hands in the back raised the round shield in their hands over their heads to block the feather arrows falling from the air. At first glance, it looked a bit like a Roman shield formation. However, the Song army used a smaller round shield, following the route of the small shield long sword (sword), and could only cover the key points and could not be "immunized" to the bow and arrow. However, they were all wearing a full set of armor, and with shields covering the key points, they could basically ignore the bow and arrow.

Just as the 18 sword and shield teams rushed down like the raindrops of the Western thieves, the 18 archers and archers followed behind the sword and shield teams all formed four horizontal formations, followed the sword and shield teams in front and stepped within the range of the Western Xia army's bows and arrows. Then they stopped moving forward and began to shoot feather arrows at the camp of the Western Xia army. The last one was the 18 spear teams, who passed through the gap between the 18 archers and arrow teams in four columns and continued to move forward.

No one noticed the activities of the Song army's archers and spearmen. Even the waves of arrows falling from the air were ignored because they had no accurate head (the Song army archers could not see the target at all). Everyone's attention was attracted by the 18 vague quadrons that were constantly approaching.

Although I can't see clearly what kind of warriors the quadron in the hazy quadron is composed of, everyone knows that they are here to fight in hand and hand!

There are 18 hand-to-hand combat formations! How many heroes want to play with white knife and red knife? Not to mention the soldiers who have never fought many wars and cowards, even the garrison soldiers who have been on the battlefield are all scared and rushing to death. The 18 hand-to-hand combat formations all look very big, so there must be two or three thousand people? And it’s useless to shoot arrows over, most of them are made of iron armor!

I suddenly saw two or three thousand armored swords, shield soldiers or spearmen soldiers! Can you not be afraid? You should know that in the Xixia side, because the front line is too long, thirty miles long, and the total strength is only 80,000, so on average, the troops are still relatively weak. In addition to the Liuzhi Army, Iron Harrier, some guard supplies, horses and the other three sides of the camp. The ones used by Ganshun for the 30-mile defense line on the front are 5,000 garrison troops, 6,000 rushing Linglang and less than 30,000 brigades, a total of 40,000 people. On average, there are more than 1,300 people on the defense line on the one mile.

The 18th Battalion war soldiers commanded by Wu Song were less than three miles away. In other words, in this front, there were only about 4,000 Xixia soldiers who resisted the 18 Song army war barracks, most of whom did not have much combat effectiveness, could they withstand the impact of two or three thousand Song army soldiers!?

Seeing the black Song army coming up, the commander commanding and defending several Xixia commanders sent people to ask for help from the central army where Gan Shun was, and shouted loudly to shoot countless sharp arrows. Now everyone had their arms sore and soft-armed, and the soldiers were holding money and swords and spears, and they could not let the Song army push down the fence and chest walls no matter what!

Wooden guns stretched out from behind the sparse wooden fence and were mounted on the soft sand pile. Some archers were still firing feather arrows desperately. The garrison officers and soldiers from the Dangxiang nationality were already raiding and carrying soldiers to supervise the battle. Everyone had their swords and spears in their hands, and leather armor was on their bodies!

I don’t know how long it took, but the sword and shield array that rushed in the front suddenly hit the fence, and there were only a few wooden guns on the chest wall.

"Kill the enemy! Kill the enemy..."

The soldiers of the Song army shouted wildly, using all their strength, first hitting hard, and then pushing hard. It was not one person pushing, but a group of people working hard together. If the Xixia military camp built a solid wall, such impact and pushing might be of no use.
Chapter completed!
