"Report, report, report to the prince, 50,000 cavalry of the Song army broke away from the main force of the Song army and went south.
After Li Ke heard the report of the sentry cavalry, he said: "It seems that Zhao Yan is not stupid, the Song army did not return all the reinforcements according to our plan. ” "Lord, what should we do then?"
"Give up the ambush plan and have the right to attack the Song army, this king will not believe it, I have 250,000 elite cavalry, and I can't take down the 200,000 Song army."
Li Ke said very confidently: "Order the army to advance at full speed and rush to the Qingshui front. ” Under the command of Li Ke, the Xia army rushed to the southeast of Qingshui City thirty miles before sunset, because it was late Xia army could only camp on the spot, and at the same time the Song army also withdrew from the front line into the camp to prevent being broken by the Song army, in order to prevent the Xia army from attacking at night, Zhao Yan withdrew all the troops surrounded outside Qingshui City.
In the camp of the Song army, Zhao Qun said to Zhao Yan: "Lord Wang, the last general went to see it in person just now, the total strength of the Xia army should add up to more than 200,000 people, excluding their army defending the city, the total number of troops we face in the Xia army is likely to reach 200,000 Xia army cavalry; Our army has only 180,000 troops, and it does not have an advantage in terms of strength and mobility; Why don't we withdraw?"
"Withdraw," Zhao said; "You have said this, how can this king retreat without a fight; After this time of preparation, it should also be for them to see how powerful my Da Song infantry is; The whole army was ordered to have enough meat tonight and fight to the death with the Xia army tomorrow. ” "Yes, the last general commands" After Zhao Qun left, Zhao Cheng sat down and wrote: "Zhao Chen, the commander of the Northern Army, visited our emperor, and the minister has been defeated repeatedly since he led the army, and he has lost his teachers and humiliated the country, which is really a crime that deserves death; Now the war situation in the north is increasingly unfavorable to our army, the minister decided to lead the 180,000 army and the Xia army tomorrow to fight to the death, the minister unfortunately died in battle, His Majesty can immediately order the master to lead all the army to retreat to the south of the Huai River for defense; My northern army has become a lone army at this time, the army has little food and grass, if it continues to stick to the north is in vain, the northern army is the most elite division of our Great Song Dynasty, there is this army in the protection of half of the south of the Great Song River, and when His Majesty makes great efforts to govern the Northern Expedition, he can be ordered to be the vanguard; My Great Song Dynasty has repeatedly lost the city and lost the land, not because my Great Song Dynasty boy did not dare to fight to the death, but because my Great Song Dynasty has no unscrupulous generals, now through the tempering of the war in the north, there are many generals in our army, such as Master Dao, Zhang Miao, Wang Kai, Wu Jie, etc., these people may not have enough qualifications, but they dare to fight and dare to fight Your Majesty can use them" After writing this letter, Zhao Yan sealed it, then handed it to an officer and said, "Quickly send the second letter to Jiangning to present it to Your Majesty." ” "Yes, Commandment" Early the next morning, 180,000 Song troops assembled in the camp.
Zhao Qun came to Zhao Yan's side and said, "Lord Wang, according to your military order, everything is ready. ” Zhao Yan pulled out his sword and shouted to all the soldiers of the Song army: "Brothers, today this king will take you to fight to the death with the Xia army, are you afraid?"
” "Not afraid, not afraid, not afraid" "He deserves to be a good man in the Great Song Dynasty."
Zhao Yu continued: "Today, there is no military order to retreat and kill privately, this king will lead the front army in the front, if this king retreats, you will kill this king, if you retreat this king will kill you, and the Xia army will fight to the death and will not return."
"Fight to the death, no victory, no return, fight to the death, no victory" "Expedition" Under the command of Zhao Yan, 180,000 Song soldiers drove out of the camp, and at the moment when the Song army came to open the camp, the entire Song army camp suddenly burst into flames, but none of the Song soldiers looked back, and the 180,000 Song soldiers moved forward step by step with firm steps, and there was no noise in the entire queue.
On the wall of the south gate of Qingshui City, Yang Shousu saw the appearance of the Song army coming out of the camp, and immediately said to Yan Shu beside him: "General Yan, immediately send someone to tell His Royal Highness the King of Changshan not to attack easily, and to avoid his edge and enter the city first." ” "My lord, the Song army took the initiative to fight a decisive battle, this is a godsend" Yan Shu said excitedly: "Our army should directly face it, and withdraw before the battle, what's going on, my lord, rest assured, the last general will definitely leave no piece of armor left behind." ” After Yan Shu finished speaking, he gathered 30,000 elite cavalry in the city and went out of the city, and joined the 200,000 army led by Li Ke, the king of Changshan, and the two armies were in battle under Qingshui City; After the meeting, Li Ke said to Yan Shu: "The Song army came to burn their own camp, it seems that this time they are going to fight to the death with our army."
"Your Highness, the last general is willing to lead all the heavy cavalry to take the lead and set an example for the brothers of the whole army."
Yan Shu assured Li Ke.
"Okay, this king will hand over all the 30,000 heavy armored cavalry in his hands to your commander, and you must break through the Song army's military formation from the front and give the Song army a thunderous blow."
Rick ordered.
"Yes, the last general commands" The heavy armored cavalry of the 30,000 Xia army began to make final offensive preparations in front of the formation, and the heavy armored cavalry of the Song army was rarely used in peacetime, and it was rarely used in battle, so when the cavalry was fighting, the heavy armored cavalry would generally fade off the heavy armor and fight in the way of light cavalry, but today the ace heavy armored cavalry of the Xia army has recovered.
Yan Shu put on two layers of heavy armor in front of everyone, got on top of the war horse, pulled up the horse lance inserted in the ground, pointed to the large array of the Song army and said: "The heavy armored cavalry obeys orders and charges" "Kill, kill, kill" The heavily armored cavalry formed a cone formation with Yan Shu as the tip of the grass and rushed towards the Song army's large array; At the moment when the heavy armored cavalry rushed forward, Li Ke issued a military order at the same time: "Order, 50,000 elite cavalry on the left and right wings outflank the Song army from both wings, attack with bows and arrows, and constantly consume the Song army and disrupt the Song army's position." ” "Two-Flank Cavalry Sortie" The speed of the light cavalry was much faster than the heavy cavalry, the light cavalry crossed the heavy cavalry, after two rounds of arrow rain, the light cavalry began to detour to both sides to make way for the heavy cavalry to make way for the attack line, the light cavalry's arrow rain caused a certain loss to the front army of the Song army, but the loss was not large.
Seeing the heavy armored cavalry approaching him, Zhao Yan, who was in command of the front army, decisively ordered: "The giant shield soldiers move forward, the catapults, bed crossbows and arrows, and the crossbowmen are ready."
After the heavy armored cavalry entered the firing range, Zhao Yan decisively ordered: "Catapult, bed crossbow" Stones, fierce fire oil, earth-shattering thunder and crossbow arrows with thick forearms flew towards the heavy cavalry of the Xia army, because the density of the heavy cavalry was too high, many people were hit, and the Song army only put two rounds after the heavy attack and a round of arrow rain, the heavy cavalry of the Xia army was already about to collide.
At this time, Zhao Yan once again ordered very calmly: "The crossbowmen retreat and continue to release arrows, and there are many spears."
After Zhao Yu gave the order, the crossbowmen began to retreat backwards and insert themselves through the gaps in the pikemen, all the first row of spears resting on the giant shields, and the second and third rows standing at an angle of seventy to eighty degrees; Under such a spear, if the heavy cavalry rushes up, there is only one way to die.
Yan Shu, who rushed to the front, ordered loudly: "Duanping the horse lance, charge" The Xia army's horse lance is slightly longer, so when the horse lance is on the giant shield, either the horse lance will pick the giant shield away, or the heavy armored cavalry will be directly bounced away, and there are only two results.
The second is more presented, and those who have votes have voted, it is best to have two monthly tickets, and it is okay to reward:
