Chapter 392 The Defeat of Western Xia
After the Song army's cavalry left the city, they quickly gathered a huge momentum and defeated the already weak Xia army.
The six to seven thousand forward troops began to scatter behind them like a retreating tide.
Pieces of bad news reached Fei Tingrongju, who looked livid.
His luck may be good or bad.
It was agreed that after the rain, the Song Army's firearms could not be used, which greatly weakened the Song Army's defense capabilities.
The worst thing is that after it rained, the difficulty of siege also increased sharply.
But do you want to say that he can control the situation?
He really can't control it.
After inserting himself into the rear of the Song Army, if he did not attack the city as soon as possible, he would be besieged outside Mizhi Village once the Song Army's reinforcements from other cities and towns arrived.
So, you can fight a surprise attack, but your army's combat capability must be strong enough.
Just like the troops of Wei Qing and Huo Qubing, when people mention them, they only know that they are engaged in long-distance raids.
But if you read the details, you will find that Wei Qing challenged the main force of the Huns, who had more people than himself, and actually beat the enemy's main force to the point where they were almost annihilated.
Strong field combat capabilities are the basis for an army to conduct interspersed raids.
The Xia army was not weak in field battles, but Fei Tingrongju obviously made a mistake at the tactical level. He should not have come to attack the Song army's strongest Mizhi village, but first cut off the Qingbian village and Mizhi village near Mizhi village.
Nuanquan Village is encircling Mizhi Village.
However, the war has reached this point and there is definitely no way to retreat.
Besides, Fei Tingrongju’s trump card is useless.
Iron kite!
He brought five hundred iron kites, and once the iron kites formed a charge, they were like ancient land tanks.
At this time, Fei Tingrongju immediately began to mobilize the Xixia cavalry and heavy cavalry Iron Kites.
The Xixia light cavalry attacked from the right wing, galloping quickly in the heavy rain, towards the battlefield.
Li Yongqi summoned his son: "Don't you want to go into battle to kill the enemy?"
"Did the father promise the child?"
"I am now a general guarding Mizhi Village, not your father!"
Li Shifu immediately said solemnly: "The last general will only follow the orders of General Manager Li!"
"I'll give you three thousand men. You go and stop the Western thieves' iron kites!"
Li Shifu suddenly said with great pride: "The last general will take orders!"
"Remember, as long as the Iron Kites are stopped, the Western Bandits will definitely lose this battle! If they cannot stop the Iron Kites, our army will be in danger!"
"If you can't stop the iron kite, you will eventually come to see him!"
After Li Shifu finished speaking, he took the token and turned around to leave.
Not long after, the young man had put on a suit of walking armor.
The armor was covered with countless knife marks, some even from the shoulders to the flanks, which shows how brutal the battle was at that time.
The heavy rain shook up countless water splashes on the armor, but it still couldn't wash away the blood stains that had solidified on the armor.
Although Li Shifu was young, he was always known for his bravery.
He raised the ax in his hand, and the soldiers in the front rows raised their iron spears and shouted: "Long live my emperor! For the Song Dynasty!"
After saying this, everyone walked out of the city gate and entered the battlefield.
No, it should be entering the Shura Purgatory.
At this time, the rainwater outside Mizhi Village has accumulated. The color of the rainwater is red, and heads are rolling from slightly higher ground into puddles.
The people who were not dead were crawling hard in the river of blood. The iron hoofs of the war horses splashed a large wave of blood. The cavalry above were holding iron bones and maces.
Today, this place has completely turned into a battlefield meat grinder. Those who participated fought with each other with flesh and blood, crushing everything in their way into meat paste.
Everything has lost its meaning, only the most brutal killing remains!
Obviously, the Song Army did not intend to fight a defensive war.
The heavy rain seemed to be detrimental to the Song army, but in fact it greatly weakened the Xia army's siege rhythm.
Song troops rushed out of the city one after another and poured into the battlefield, almost overwhelming most of the troops in Mizhi Village.
The Xixia people's vanguard has been completely routed.
One piece of bad news after another made Fei Tingrongju furious. He was unwilling to give in. After dispatching highly mobile cavalry, he violently started a new round of mobilization, sending Xixia elites one after another.
The scope of the battlefield is gradually expanding.
The Xixia cavalry cut back and forth in the field, blocking the Song army's momentum several times.
The rain gradually became lighter and stopped.
After half an hour, both sides were exhausted from fighting.
At this time, the prepared iron kite finally took action.
In this case, although the lethality of the Iron Kite is limited to a certain extent, it is still terrifying.
The iron kite was wearing heavy armor and holding a blunt weapon, crushing it all the way like a torrent of steel.
At this time, Li Shifu led the soldiers and killed them until their armors were all red with blood.
It should be said that the main Xixia army was quickly repelled, and Li Shifu joined the battlefield.
Although he fought fiercely for a while, at this moment, facing the impact of the iron kite was his most difficult battle.
The battlefield has become fragmented. The Xixia cavalry and Song army cavalry have killed and wounded each. The addition of Iron Kites has undoubtedly injected a huge unknown into the weak battlefield.
The rumbling sound of horses' hooves rolled over the wet ground, rushing over those who were not dead or unconscious, trampling them into flesh and crushing them in the direction where the main force of the Song army gathered.
At that time, in Yongle City, dozens of miles north of Mizhi Village, Xixia experienced a fierce battle with the Song Army and used iron kites to defeat the Song Army's stubborn resistance, resulting in the death of more than 10,000 elite Song troops, and officially opened the war.
The siege of Yongle City caused the complete failure of Shenzong's strategy to conquer Xia.
Obviously, Xixia wants to repeat its old tricks.
But at this moment, the Xixia people were facing a Song army that was not afraid of death.
The heavily armored infantrymen headed by Li Shifu immediately began to reorganize their military formation after the fierce battle.
The Song army's military formation has not yet been formed, and the iron kites have already crushed it from the front.
How powerful is Iron Kite?
Let's put it this way, as strong as the iron futu of Jin Wushu is, the iron kite is as strong.
Fei Ting Rongju's son, who led the Tie Yaozi's affairs, Fei Ting Rongju's order.
After the Iron Harriers were fully mobilized, Xixia's light cavalry also immediately gathered and began to cooperate.
Li Shifu stabilized the bronze mask with his hands and shouted loudly: "Fight to the death here today and never take a step back!"
The crowd immediately shouted: "Fight to the death! Fight to the death! Fight to the death!"
In an instant, the iron kite rushed in from the front, and when the Song army was not fully prepared, it directly tore apart the front line of defense.
But no one stepped back!
Because Li Shifu leads the way, the supreme commander of this army leads the way, and he is the son of the chief general of Mizhi Village,
The iron kite pierced in like a sharp sword. After piercing the Song army's formation for tens of meters, it was carried down.
The iron kite let out a painful cry.
After persisting in fighting for a while, it could no longer hold on and collapsed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
