The fierce and fierce battle between the forwards continued, with both sides continuing to charge forward with their steely will.

One fresh life after another passed away in this winter.

After the person in front falls, the person behind continues.

Wang Fu was also shocked in his heart. The Xixia people's fighting will was stronger than what he heard in class.

He seemed to be reminded of Li Yanxian's defeat of the Xia army in Lanzhou the year before last. How cruel was that battlefield to repulse the attack of these Xixia people?

Xixia was able to establish a country in the northwest for hundreds of years, and it was not until the full rise of Mongolia that it was destroyed. This is not only related to its unique terrain.

These party members fight extremely cunningly and fiercely.

In Wang Fu's mind, he recalled a saying from the Jiangwu Hall period: Don't underestimate your enemies.

However, as time went by, the Song Army still had the advantage in the forward battle.

The combat effectiveness of these forward heavy infantrymen of the Song Army really shocked Wang Fu. He could not see it at ordinary times, but on the battlefield, the aura of disregarding death was vividly displayed.

They carry axes and iron bones

Some people have even been completely dyed red with blood and become bloody men. They still shuttle through the steel forest and knock every stubborn enemy to the ground.

At this time, on the noisy battlefield, the Xixia people's horns were faintly heard.

In the wind and snow, Wang Fu, who was standing on a high platform, looked intently and saw a large black shadow slowly flowing out from behind the slope in front of him.

"The Xixia people have increased their troops!"

"I saw it!" Liu Xi said.

Wang Fu said: "Why are our Chinese troops still not moving?"

"The Xixia people are deliberately increasing their troops to affect our entire army. Don't be disturbed by the Western thieves!"

Liu Xi is indeed a battle-hardened warrior.

He continued: "Look carefully at the front. Where can the Western bandits increase their troops and break into our army?"

Wang Fu glanced around and saw that there really was no place. There were strong protections on the left and right wings.

Moreover, the Xixia people also have left and right wings. The Xixia people will not use the reinforcements of the central army to attack the left and right wings. They do not have such stupid generals.

In other words, the Xixia people deliberately increased their momentum and forced the Song army to mobilize troops.

Wang Fu instantly felt that Liu Xi was not as arrogant as he appeared on the surface. His experience on the battlefield was much stronger than that of his general general.

Wang Fu couldn't help but ask: "What is the purpose of the Xixia people in attracting us to increase our troops?"

"Perhaps the Xixia people really prepared cavalry to extend the front line of the Chinese army, disperse the crowd, and use the cavalry for a quick assault!"

"Then what should we do next?" Wang Fu continued to ask, "Don't we always increase our troops?"

"No, we are waiting for the friendly forces in Weirong Stronghold to cooperate with us. Look over there, they are gathering. Zhang Qian is my general. He participated in the Chang'an Battle and is known for his positional warfare!"

Sure enough, the city gate of Weirong Village has been opened, and one after another Song troops braved the wind and snow to leave the city.

There are a total of six thousand forbidden troops in Weirong Village, all wearing armor and going into battle.

They began to line up on the tower.

The scout relayed the military information ahead to Xiang Lirongan: "The Song army has come out of the city!"

Xiang Lirongan immediately ordered: "Send out the archers on the right wing to hold back the Song army at the gate of the city!"

"yes!"

The scout immediately ran away.

"Send the order to the Chinese army to speed up the advance. I don't believe that the general of the Song Army will not increase the number of troops!" Xiang Lirong'an gave another order.

The sound of war drums became more intense, as if a mountain was collapsing and the earth was cracking.

The Xixia army's speed increased significantly, from walking slowly to running quickly.

At the same time, the Song army that had just assembled at the city gate encountered a dense rain of arrows from the Xixia people.

The soldiers raised their shields to block the arrows.

The Song army on the city tower also began to use the same method to fight back against the Xixia crossbowmen. One of the Xixia army's crossbowmen was shot and fell to the ground groaning.

Dense arrows shuttled through the wind and snow, and the Song army under the city tower was temporarily dragged down by the rain of arrows.

"Deputy Commander Liu!" Wang Fu was anxious, seeing the enemy rushing forward in large numbers.

"Calm down!" Liu Xi said angrily.

Sure enough, Zhang Qian's troops below the city tower began to brave the rain of arrows and quickly attacked the right side of the Chinese army supporting Xixia.

Although the dense rain of arrows continued to hit the soldiers, the direction of the large team did not change.

"Kill!" Zhang Qian roared at the top of his lungs. He was wearing a thick suit of armor and rushed to the front. The people behind him rushed after him as if they had been given blood.

Like rolling and roaring steel, this team rushed into the battlefield until they rushed into the Xixia reinforcements and entered the tragic Shura purgatory.

"Report! The Song army in the city attacked the right side of our central army!"

"General, send out the cavalry! Attack the Song army's right wing with all your strength!" an adjutant said in a solemn tone.

It can be seen that the forward's defeat, the reinforcements were intercepted by the Song army, and the plan to attract the Song army to extend the attack line failed, making Xixia's senior officials fall into anxiety.

But Li Rongan still has a trump card in his hand, which is the thousand cavalry.

Xiang Lirong'an was not sure how well the Song Army's left and right flanks were defended. He had to choose between stretching the Song Army's center and attacking the Song Army's flanks.

What is certain is that once the attack line of the Song Army's central army is lengthened, the probability of success will be greater, and it can attack the Song Army's most elite forward battalion in a roundabout way. It can be said that the victory or defeat will be determined in one battle.

Xiang Lirongan looked cold and stared ahead calmly. Without hesitating for too long, he ordered: "All the cavalry will attack and attack the Song army's right wing in a roundabout way!"

The Xixia cavalry, who had been hiding behind the slope for a long time, received the order, and they began to slowly walk up the hillside, like a torrent of melted steel, slowly flowing down the hillside.

One thousand cavalry and three thousand war horses.

Different from the ordinary Xixia cavalry in the past, each of their cavalry was covered in black armor and looked like a black ghost in the pure white snow.

They began to take detours and attack the right flank of the Song army.

At first, it is a normal walking speed, and after crossing the battlefield, it starts to accelerate.

The horse's hooves rumbled on the ground, rolling up a layer of white snow that penetrated the cold winter wind, like a black spear cutting through the snowfield.

Then, it started to accelerate.

Snow fell from the surrounding trees.

The Song Army on the right wing could already see a black line approaching them in the white snow.

Soon, they saw a clear outline.

"It's the cavalry!" An infantryman from the Song Army shouted out.

Everyone immediately took a deep breath and quickly prepared.

First, a kind of light cavalry came out to test the road ahead, and actually found horse traps in some places.

But obviously time was running out, the Song army failed to dig more horse traps, and the Xixia's main cavalry quickly attacked.

The crossbow archers on the right wing of the Song Army began to attack the Xixia cavalry in front, and overwhelming crossbow arrows rose into the sky.

But what shocked the Song army was that all the Xixia cavalry were wearing iron armor, so that the lethality of the crossbows was greatly reduced!
