In official history, the Xixia Iron Kite was also defeated by Li Shifu.

His secret to defeating the iron kite is not to stab the horse in the leg as some people say.

Those who say that to deal with heavy cavalry and cavalry horses only requires cutting off the horse's legs is like saying that to deal with machine guns, one only needs to block the muzzle of the machine gun.

People will feel frightened when they see the mighty heavy cavalry rolling over them.

Not to mention that the reaction speed of war horses is faster than that of humans, so they may not be able to cut off the horse's legs.

Even if the horse's leg is successfully chopped off, the person who chopped off the horse's leg will most likely be crushed by the fallen horse and killed on the spot.

This is the same as asking soldiers to block the muzzle of a gun.

Throughout the ages, how many soldiers have dared to block the muzzle of their guns?

Except for those few people who really regard death as their own, normal people would not do that.

Normal people will hide when they see bullets.

The same goes for heavy cavalry.

Therefore, truly defeating the heavy cavalry is not as simple as cutting off the horse's legs.

If it were that simple, the Mongolian cavalry that swept the world would still be beaten with a hammer.

There is only one secret for Li Shifu to defeat Tie Yaozi: courage!

Many times in life there are no shortcuts, especially when faced with a cruel war.

It won't give you any chance to rest, it will destroy you!

You can make big detours, or you can take things by surprise.

But in the end, you have to go hand-to-hand with the enemy.

If you don't fight it head on, it will completely destroy everything about you.

In fact, no matter how much you pray, the Xixia or Jin people will never be torn apart.

Those scenes of ripping enemies apart are just storytellers trying to cater to many weak-hearted audiences.

After all, put the money in your pocket first.

But here comes the problem, which has caused many people to lose their basic awe and passion for war.

Treat war as a twisted pleasure in the spiritual world.

They don’t know that there are no shortcuts in war, and war kills people. It was as powerful as the Han and Tang Dynasties, when they fought all over the Eastern world, countless people died in battle.

A group that has lost its respect for war is like the monarchs and ministers in the Song Huizong era who easily launched wars and were hastily defeated.

It was when this reverence for war was reawakened that the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty became more calm when making war decisions, and they paid more attention to the military's bravery when shaping the army.

And then reshape the military soul.

A real man is afraid of death, but dares to face death on the battlefield bravely!

This was the case for Li Shifu and his people at this time.

After fighting for more than an hour, everyone started to feel weak.

But when faced with the Xixia cavalry's left and right wings starting to attack crazily, and the iron kites crushing them like mountains moving sideways, they managed to hold on tenaciously.

Countless iron spears began to stab at the iron kite crazily.

The steel collided violently, making a clanging sound.

The screams of people were mixed with the whine of war horses. The iron armor was broken by the axe, and the flesh and blood collapsed, squeezing together with the broken bones.

Blood splashed everywhere in the air, and the moist air was mixed with blood mist.

One person held a long spear and poked the iron kite cavalry off their horses, while another person used a long ax to chop at them. Just as they were cutting off, they were crushed by the enemy's horses again.

People wrapped in iron armor and war horses wrapped in iron armor were piled together in disorder, forming a "hill" of steel and flesh mixed together.

The "little hill" was struggling painfully, and those people and horses who were pressed below but were still alive had only one extravagant wish at this time, which was to die immediately!

I don't know how long it took, but the war finally slowed down.

After experiencing countless attacks, some of the Xixia light cavalry were buried in this horrific battle, and some had already fled.

Fei Tingrongju's son Fei Tingyuling was hammered into a puddle of flesh wrapped in scrap iron by the Song army during the attack. Even his war horse was deformed by the hammer.

Outside Mizhi Village, rivers of blood flowed and corpses piled up like mountains.

If a historian had to record this war, he would probably downplay it: In the summer of the fifth year of Jingkang, Mizhi Village and Shifu bravely won the three armies, attacked and defeated the Iron Kites.

As for the Xixia general Fei Tingrongju, he is already retreating.

He couldn't help crying out sadly: "Heaven wants to destroy me!"

For Fei Tingrongju, it was a good move to penetrate into the rear of the Song army.

Even if Song Jun predicted this move and defended accordingly, Fei Tingrongju still succeeded.

But after crossing over, Fei Tingrongju made almost every mistake after capturing Funing Village.

If he had attacked the other two fortresses with lower difficulty first, the situation might have been very different.

Even if it rains heavily and is not suitable for siege, it may not be impossible to capture the two low-difficulty cities.

In this way, there is no need to continuously invest in elites, and even be forced to invest in iron kites at critical moments, leading to the ultimate defeat and escape.

This is the time to test the general. War is not something you can prove your awesomeness by first making it difficult and then easy.

The top leader must look at the overall situation and make reasonable arrangements based on the overall situation.

Fei Tingrongju paid for his wrong judgment, but this responsibility was obviously not something he could afford.

The Xixia army on the right crossed in, but failed. Many people fled, but they could not escape to the rear of the Xixia army.

Next, they will face the encirclement and killing of various Song armies.

In fact, if Huo Qubing goes deep into Hexi, he will not be able to defeat the Huns in a field battle, and he will be surrounded and killed by the Huns in many ways.

It can be said that Mizhi Village was a key battle in the Sixth War between Song and Xia.

On May 12, Li Qianshun was very happy when he received the credentials from Zhao Guan's family.

It can be seen from the credential of the Zhao Guan family that the Zhao Guan family was also forced to use troops.

If this is the case, then the bargaining chips between the two countries will become larger.

But Li Qianshun was only happy for less than a cup of tea.

"What! The army on the right made its own decision and acted rashly!"

Li Qianshun was shocked when he heard this.

"Yes."

"When did this happen?"

"A few days ago."

"Why are you reporting it now!" Li Qianshun looked at the messenger angrily and asked.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. Fei Tingrongju's action was too sudden. We just learned about it."

"You all deserve to die!"

"Your Majesty, forgive me!"

Li Qianshun wanted to curse: There is always someone who wants to harm me!

At this time, Prime Minister Wei Ming Anhui came out and spoke: "Your Majesty, the reason why General Fei Ting is like this may be to give the Song Army a surprise. If he can penetrate into the rear of the Song Army and attack the walled city and grain transport team behind the Song Army,

, Yinzhou will become an isolated city."

Li Qianshun said impatiently: "Zhao Guan's family already has the intention of peace talks."

Weiming Anhui said: "But if we can capture Mizhi Village and surround Yinzhou, our advantage in peace talks with Song Dynasty will be even greater!"

Li Qianshun frowned and thought deeply: "I know what you mean. If I can defeat the Song army and negotiate for peace, I can naturally ask for a huge price."

"Then what is your Majesty still worried about?"

"Let me ask you, how sure is Fei Tingrongju of winning?"

"Ninety percent!"

"really?"
