It's simple to say but difficult to do.

Pang Wanchun was suddenly promoted to the position of command of the central army, and this position was difficult to do. Even Hu Yanzhuo, who was from the general, had a sense of powerlessness after three attacks by the Dangxiang people. It was not a fear of his mood, but a feeling of his body being exhausted. He knew very well that if the Dangxiang people continued this attack without regard for casualties, the Song army would probably be unable to support it until the sky became dark and the defense line would collapse.

The biggest problem with the moon formation is that the defense of this formation is very strong, but once the defense is broken, it will become a target for the cavalry to kill at will, and there is no chance to resist.

The crisis is getting bigger and bigger, and he is also unable to do anything alone.

What are the two people who replaced Hu Yanzhuo? Lu Da, the senior servant recruited by Li Kui in the city of Fushi. He was actually a servant. The main reason is that Li Kui’s official position is too small now, so he is a bit arrogant to hire a servant, so he had to use senior servants to cover up his eyes. How could an ordinary servant give a monthly salary of 20 yuan? Lu Qian is Gao Qiu’s servant. In the civil servant’s mansion, Yu Hou is the leader of the guard who protects his family. Within the family of military generals, Yu Hou is more of a confidant on the battlefield, the leader of the guards, and others around him.

The identity of a non-official or general is a backup plan to save one's life at critical moments.

Of course, Lu Da is still a temporary worker. Suddenly taking over Hu Yanzhuo's command seems to be very risky on the surface, but there is Li Kui behind him, so there will be no major problems in the short term. Li Kui's position is not far from him. If Lu Da really can't support him, Li Kui can also appear behind him anytime and anywhere to help.

But Li Kui was just two fists and one head, and he was also having trouble supporting him.

Choosing Pang Wanchun is the best candidate for Li Kui to make up for his shortcomings.

Li Kui had confidence in Pang Wanchun because Pang Wanchun was the best archery person Li Kui had ever seen. He was much stronger than Shi Wengong. Such a person did not have a strong general who fought with one sword and one axe on the battlefield. But if it were post-war statistics, he would definitely be the one who killed the most enemies. In order to deal with increasingly difficult defenses, Li Kui had to promote him.

As for why no artillery was used?

Iron Harrier didn't show up, how could he reveal his trump card?

As long as the Dangxiang people's light cavalry still has the power to attack, Li Kui will never take the lead in using artillery on the battlefield.

Li Kui had confidence in Pang Wanchun, but Pang Wanchun himself did not.

He followed Cheng Zhijie before and only did two things: "The general has an order..."

"The general said..."

That's right, he is the messenger who stayed by Cheng Zhijie.

Pang Wanchun climbed up to the platform and stood beside Li Kui. He saw the vast Dangxiang cavalry, took a breath and swallowed with difficulty. The fishy smell of blood rushing in front of the formation made him feel dizzy and disgusted. Fortunately, after a brief confusion, Pang Wanchun calmed down. An archer always had a way to calm himself down in the chaos.

"Luda, tie a white cloth strip on his arm."

Lu Da was puzzled, but he still did as Li Kui said.

Li Kui, who was standing beside Pang Wanchun, pointed at Lu Da's back and said, "Pang Wanchun, can you see Lu Da clearly?"

Archers, especially archers, have naturally not comparable eyesight to ordinary people. Yangyouji, who can see the leaves of willows a hundred steps away, can see clearly the leaves of willows a hundred steps away. Such eyesight cannot be done by ordinary people, and Li Kui cannot do it. But this is not difficult for Pang Wanchun. The difficulty is that when he takes the opportunity to shoot the leaves of the willow tree swaying in the wind, pull the bow and when to shoot arrows, this is Pang Wanchun's unique skill.

Before this, it was not difficult for Pang Wanchun to recognize Lu Da, who had obvious marks on the battlefield.

Pang Wanchun nodded and said, "Son-in-law, the villain can see it."

"That's good." Li Kui breathed a sigh of relief. If Pang Wanchun had not been able to use the tactics of the coordination between spearmen and crossbowmen, it would be increasingly difficult to stop the Dangxiang people's iron hooves.

After all, after being trapped in the crowd, the Dangxiang people had no troops to maintain their energy and had not been put into the battlefield. Even if the army that had already launched a charge, they could launch another attack after rest. However, the Song army could not rest at all. Of course, as the Dangxiang people's casualties became increasingly serious, the Dangxiang army's attack would become increasingly weak.

Li Kui said: "Pang Wanchun, your mission is to stare at Luda and shoot any enemy close to him. As long as you do this, your contribution will be small in this battle."

If Pang Wanchun shoots and kills the enemy's chief general, this is naturally a good way to do it once and for all. But because of the distance, it is not necessarily easy. If Pang Wanchun uses bows and arrows to solve the troubles around Lu Da, it is easy for an archer like him to hold it in his hands. He nodded calmly and said, "Son-in-law, look at it!"

The Dangxiang people launched another attack, trying to clear out the big carts around the Song army again.

In fact, many large chariots of the Song army had been damaged by the iron claws of the Dangxiang people, but the Song army promptly piled up the large chariots with heavy objects such as stones, so that they did not become gaps that the Dangxiang cavalry had hit. But after a long time, Li Kui was worried that it might not last all day. Fortunately, the Dangxiang people were also seriously injured, and the body of the Dangxiang people after they withdrew from the defense line was everywhere.

Fortunately, Dangxiang people only had more than 40,000 people.

If there were more than 100,000 yuan, Li Kui would probably have to explain the formation no matter how useful it was. As long as the casualties of the Dangxiang people reached an unbearable number, the Song army could truly gain a foothold on the battlefield. But it was just a foothold and even Li Kui did not see the variables of defeating the Dangxiang people.

At that time, Liu Yu's moon formation was built on the water. Liu Yu, who controlled the surface of the river, had sufficient preparation time to dispatch troops and provide support from crossbow soldiers. Li Kui did not have these advantages. The only thing he had was the killer weapon in his hand, and the artillery had not yet entered the battlefield.

After a brief clearance of the battlefield, the Dangxiang people launched another attack. Unlike the previous times, the Dangxiang people obviously invested more troops, and soon the central defense line where Luda was located was hit hard and the situation became precarious.

Swallow

After Luda rescued several crises, he found that he was a little bit alone in the battle formation. He had only one person. Even if he could kill, he could not defeat the Dangxiang people's courage.

The sudden number of feather arrows scared him while finding a feather arrow inserted in the faces of several Dangxiang people who were dragging him, killing him to the ground.

Luda turned around and raised her thumb in the direction of Pang Wanchun.

It's really a magic arrow!

On the contrary, Li Kui was thinking hard on the side. From the information obtained by Li Yun, Li Yun said that there were some very special cavalry among the Dangxiang cavalry. The war horses were stronger than ordinary war horses. Although they were not fast, they were skilled in bows and horses. The only major loss to the Song cavalry was caused by these people.

According to Li Kui's guess, these people should be the elites in the Dangxiang army.

It is very consistent with the identity of Iron Harrier. Although Iron Harrier is a heavy armored cavalry, they usually do not wear heavy armor all day long, but put the heavy armor on the special pack horse behind them and lightly form the formation. Being Iron Harrier is the glory of Western Xia soldiers, and selecting Iron Harrier is also the most stringent condition. Martial power, swords, guns, swords, halberds, bows and arrows must be first-class to be accepted by Iron Harrier. Iron Harrier, with extremely outstanding individual combat capabilities, only choose to use heavy armored cavalry to crush the battlefield when facing a difficult opponent. In normal combat, Iron Harrier does not seem to be much different from ordinary light cavalry of Dangxiang. But once the two sides come into contact and fight, it will make people feel that the other side is not simple.

It's like a duel between experts, face to face, the opponent's strength can be seen from his momentum. The same is true for Iron Harrier. His daily operations are extremely sharp. Even if he does not focus on heavy armor, his attack power is the most powerful existence in the Western Xia army.

Li Kui guessed that the war was at this point, it was logical that the heavy armored cavalry of the Dangxiang people should go into battle.

But why, after waiting for so long, why didn’t the Iron Harrier appear?

While Li Kui was puzzled, he began to wonder whether he would have made a mistake? There was no iron kite in the Western Xia army.

"I retreated, the Dangxiang people retreated!"

A fierce battle that lasted for nearly an hour made the Song army's tense nerves collapse. When the Dangxiang cavalry finally retreated, many Song army sat on the ground. The commander and the captain next to them cursed. The soldiers were sitting on the ground wearing armor because of overwork. They could not stand up without beating or scolding. It is very likely that this rest would make the soldiers unable to stand up when the Dangxiang people attacked next time.

But the soldiers have also reached a desperate situation and are seriously overdrawn in their physical strength.

It was just past noon, and the hungry feeling made people eager to rest.

"Do not sit on the ground, as it is cool on the ground and is prone to illness."

The Huo Tou Army carried warm water with sugar and salt and appeared in front of the formation to distribute it. But at this moment, Pang Wanchun pointed to the direction of the Dangxiang people's army and said to Li Kui: "General, something is wrong, these Dangxiang people are strange."

Li Kui narrowed his eyes and looked at the Dangxiang people's military formation. Sure enough, a group of cavalry appeared in front of the formation. The difference between these cavalry was that each of them had two or three servants.

Li Kui waited for a long time and finally waited for the elite Dangxiang whom he had been worried about - Tie Harrier. At this moment, the hair on his back seemed to stand up and he shouted to the back: "Nian Xi, take your people to the front of the formation."

Nian Xi was ecstatic and immediately asked the soldiers to pull the cannon's cannon's cannon off the cannon. A bright yellow bronze cannon appeared in front of the formation with its head held high.

The soldiers pushed the cannon slowly out with their pushes forward and backward.

In front of the Dangxiang Army, Liang Yishu suppressed the anger in his heart and did not get too entangled with Yelimon, but the stabbing in his heart had already pierced. Yelimondo's army's casualties were obviously much smaller than those of the army under his command.

But Liang Yishu couldn't take it seriously at all. He knew that he was in a very dangerous situation.

Even though Yelimondo's deployment was not as great as his, there were nearly 5,000 casualties, and the casualties under his command were almost 7,000 to 8,000. Liang Yi said that he could not understand why an ordinary Song army infantry appeared on the battlefield, which was so difficult to crack. In just half a day, it had already caused one-third of his troops to suffer casualties.

Yelimondo proposed at this time inconsistently: "Master, we might as well supervise the scattering machine and slowly plan it."

"No need to say more, I have decided!"

Liang Yishu suppressed his anger, and the catapult was used. How did you think of such a ridiculous tactic in your mind? Especially, it takes two or three days to build the catapult, and you can't move the place. What if he built the catapult, the Song army moved the place?

Isn’t that a waste of effort?

This is a field battle, not a siege.

Liang Yishu believed that Yelimondo was to come to see him for jokes. From beginning to end, he issued the attack order, and he was also the one who suffered huge casualties and unchanged tactics. He could not bear the Song army alive under his nose to see the sun of tomorrow. He had more than 40,000 troops under his command, so how could he be stumped by thousands of Song troops?

Liang Yishu decided to use the Iron Harrier, which was one of the few elites his sister gave him. It was also the most important bargaining chip for him to compete with Renduo Baozhong.

If there were no Iron Harrier, Ren Duo Baozhong would leave the army in anger because of his attack?

The heavy iron armor emitted a silver-gray light in the sun, and the cold chill instantly spread out from the army. Liang Yishu said to his confidant general, "I want the Song people to see the sun tomorrow, I want the Song people to become the rotten flesh for wild wolves to spend the winter, I want the Song people to see the cruelty of killing on the battlefield, can you do it?"

"As the marshal wished, I will trample on the body of the Song people and offer the final glory!" After leaning over and saluted on the war horse, Eqiman turned his horse's head, pulled out his war knife and roared at the Song army, "Kill all the Song people!"

"Kill all the Song people!"

Among the Song army, bronze cannons were pushed to the front of the formation, and there was a soldier holding a torch next to each cannon, which made the Dangxiang people confused. What was the Song people going to make trouble?

However, even if the Song people use tricks, they cannot stop the charge of Iron Harrier. After three or four heavy cavalry were tied up with iron chains, it is no longer as simple as heavy cavalry. This is the peak killing weapon that swept across everything on the battlefield, with iron armored heavy cavalry, without fear of bows and crossbows, and weapons sprinting. Since the founding of the Western Xia Kingdom, the battlefield where Iron Harrier has never been unable to be defeated.

Liang Yishu narrowed his eyes and stared at the direction of the Song army. He could not wait to walk into the Song army's army's formation to take a look, but it was not possible at the moment. He needed to wait for Tiehao to break down the so-called defense line of the Song army and break up.

"Here, finally!"

Li Kui was also very excited. He didn't know whether the artillery could block the charge of Iron Harrier. Fortunately, the number of Iron Harrier is not large, only more than one thousand, but even a long cavalry line in the city looks quite spectacular. After all, the ultimate military force on this battlefield was only three thousand in the entire Western Xia Dynasty. It was a miracle that more than one thousand iron Harrier could appear on the edge of Jinming Village.

Those who have seen Tie Harrier among the Song army were all veterans, and even many lieutenants had seen Tie Harrier's power. Everyone was worried about the artillery.

The Dangxiang people's iron kite is the killer weapon, the killer weapon that has been tested countless times on the battlefield and has succeeded every time.

The artillery of the Song army was just the product of Li Kui's temporary intention. No one was sure whether this new weapon could withstand the most powerful king on the plain battlefield.

Nian Xi stood beside the artillery, beside the flag bearer who was sending orders, and the auxiliary troops of the artillery ran around in the camp, and soon stared at the butt of the main general Cheng Zhijie.

It’s not that there is anything wrong with Cheng Zhijie, but that the box under Cheng Zhijie’s butt seems a little familiar.

"General, you always move your lord, we want to carry the ordnance."

The artillery auxiliary soldiers looked nervous at Cheng Zhijie. They couldn't figure out why their generals were so heroic? Cheng Zhijie looked confused. What's wrong with him? He was stared at by his artillery for no reason? He looked down at the wooden box under his butt, and said curiously: "Isn't my box an armory?"

"Sir, it is indeed not weapons, but gunpowder."

Cheng Zhijie turned his head and looked at the bonfire not far away. This was a smoke pile used to transmit signals and a common method on the battlefield. But it was too close to the gunpowder box under his butt? Is it really okay? At this moment, Cheng Zhijie felt a terrifying feeling that he would go to heaven if he accidentally went to heaven, and cursed in his heart: "That bastard wants to kill me?"
