Suyuan Village is located on the banks of the Malingshui River. On the side is a large narrow alluvial ditch, now called Luotuoping and Daluoganchuan, later called Xuanchenggou, and in Huanzhou, it is considered a relatively large ditch in Huanzhou.

Of course, the largest flat area is on both sides of the Maling River. It extends upwards to Hongdezhai, which is the northernmost village in Huanzhou in the Song Dynasty. Further upwards are Baimachuan and Guidezhai.

In fact, the Zhejianghui and Toad Village, which were more than 60 miles further to Hongde Village, also belonged to the Song Dynasty, but were occupied by Li Yuanhao and occupied as Hecheng. So this is a bad debt. It is considered a certain fact that the Song Dynasty occupied. The areas occupied by the Song Dynasty or the idle fields occupied by the Song Dynasty, such as Suizhou, Twelve Pan, Anjiang Fort and Dashun City, must be returned to us. A very familiar scene...

This ditch, which is more than 100 miles long, has one and two half of the Maling water.

But in the section where Suyuan Village goes down, the terrain is a bit strange, and the Maling water flows downward to the right. That is, the ditch and the altitude of the Suyuan Village on the west side is relatively wide, and the east side is relatively narrow. Many river sections are almost close to the various ridges in the east.

Therefore, the road is on the west side and there are almost no roads on the east side.

Also, the mountains in the east are dense and there are some ravines, but the ravines are very small. The density of the mountains in the west is relatively small, with many ravines and not larger ravines.

》 Therefore, the forty-mile ditch from Huanzhou to Suyuanzhai is actually the ditch source in the west.

Cai Ling and Pang Shang led six or seven thousand Xia troops to start from Suyuan Village along this flat ditch and altitude toward Huanzhou. However, the target was not Huanzhou, but Yonghe Village in front of Huanzhou, but it had to move down from this ditch and plateau. Then he turned along a ravine toward Yonghe Village.

Don’t worry about the road. Several Murong people were guided in front of them. Some local Ding Zhuang from Suyuan Village even took the initiative to ask for joining the army and cooperated with the Xixia attack on Yonghe Village.

The support of the local people and the emptiness of the troops in the rear made Cai Ling and Pang Shang think that he was fighting at home.

"Not far ahead is Shisanlipu, and if you turn it over, you will be Yonghe Village." Mu Qing said, he was Murong Baizi's father.

Yesterday evening, the strong men stood firm in Suyuan Village and had no support, so they had to retreat. However, the old guy led a group of Qiang people who turned against each other. Cooperated with the pursuit of Xia Qi, they killed nearly 200 strong men and horses from each village.

So Mu Qing was also appreciated by Cai Ling and Pang Shang.

The army continued to move forward, and suddenly a Song army flashed out from a valley ahead. These Song army quickly pushed out a large number of baggage trucks and blocked the entire ditch.

As if these Song soldiers did not see them, they quickly tied ropes and tried to tie the entire baggage truck into a chariot formation. Some Song soldiers stood behind the baggage truck and placed the shields in their hands on the chariot formation. Then two more batches of Song soldiers came out, one with short spears in their hands and one with bows and crossbows in their hands.

"Not good. Go quickly." Cai Ling and Pang Shang ordered without even estimating how many soldiers and horses the Song army had arrived.

The two sides were not very far away. In the blink of an eye, the Western Xia cavalry was about to rush to the Song army, and the so-called chariot formation was not tied yet.

At this moment, the legs of war horses fell into the ground.

There were several pits of horses that had been dug in front of the carriage, which were not very deep, but some pickets and iron thorns were arranged inside. Although the horses only fell into half of the horse's legs, they all screamed in pain.

At this time, the Song army began to throw the short spear in the pitcher.

Its range is far less than that of the Divine Arm Bow, and even an ordinary compound bow is farther than its range, but it has greater power and stronger lethality.

Although the range was not long, the Xia army was right in front of them at this time, and most of them were overturned under the horse. Short spears quickly fell into the bodies of various cavalrymen in Xixia with a whistling sound, and then the sharp iron spear tips pierced deeply.

But it was not just this wave of attacks. Then the Song army's crossbowmen pulled the crossbow in their hands together, divided them into three shifts, and took turns to pour the rain of arrows on Xia army one after another.

"Retreat," Cai Ling and Pang Shang shouted anxiously.

The Xia army quickly retreated, and with this wave of attack alone, more than 200 soldiers fell down from Xixia.

"Mu Qing, take your men and attack with your shields, and be sure to break through this wall of car." Cai Ling and Pang Shang said.

"Let's go?"

"Don't you?" Cai Ling and Pang Shang asked strangely.

This is the tradition of the Western Xia. The Han people and soldiers of all races who are not loyal to each other are used as cowards. The bad saying is cannon fodder. So it is normal. Should my elite cavalry attack?

Mu Qing had a bitter face. Seeing that Cai Ling and Pang Shang's face quickly became gloomy, he had to take the hundreds of Ding Zhuang who took the initiative to defect to Xixia and walked towards the Song army with the shield carefully.

Miao Shu asked behind the car array: "Who has a high voice?"

"I."

"I."

Several Song Bings said.

"Where do you tell them that if you betray the Song Dynasty and defect to Xixia, you will really be valued by Xixia."

Several Song soldiers shouted out this sentence loudly.

The hundreds of Qiang people looked as if they were dead.

Before the Song Dynasty, they were always the masters, and they had no way to collect taxes. They were able to collect strong people, but this strong man made a profit. When they were given benefits, when they were given weapons, when they were given wars, and when they were given wars, they were gone.

But I didn't expect that the Song Dynasty was so tough this time. That night, Murong Baizi and others would catch up and not stay, even if the surrendered one, they would be killed. But later, the Song Dynasty reinforcements arrived one after another, and there might have been several victories ahead.

Why did they use the word "possible"? Several battles are still dozens of miles away from them. Now they are in chaos. They may send people to the front to find out the truth.

Therefore, after some of the people surrendered, they threatened others, and you sent strong men to the Song army, but the Song army did not accept them. After the war, the Song Dynasty would definitely settle the score with you, so some neutral factions also turned against each other.

But no matter what, in their hearts we are the masters.

But I never expected that when I encountered a little danger, I used myself as cannon fodder. How far is the difference between the old man and the cannon fodder?

So the movement was slower.

Cai Ling and Pang Shang shouted loudly behind him: "If you delay your time, you will be executed."

Hundreds of Qiang people had to speed up and rush forward.

Song Jun shouted again: "Don't come up again, you'll really shoot arrows when you come up again."

When you shoot arrows, you do so much nonsense. But now it is not nonsense. Many Qiang people regret it. Although they are coerced by the Xixia people and continue to rush forward, they have no morale at all.

Then the arrow was really released, and as the companions fell down constantly, they turned around and ran away.

Cai Ling and Pang Shang were extremely angry and killed several people in a row, but when he saw that he could not count on these people, he sent out the remaining infantry together, and the two were gathered together and rushed over for the third time.

These are Ding Zhuang collected from Luotuoping and Daluo Qianchuan.

The number was not as large as Wang Ju estimated. Xixia dispatched nearly 300,000 troops this time, and some of the dying soldiers in the rear were continuing to transport food and grass. But how many dying soldiers in the Xixia were in total? Even the collection rate of dying soldiers in the surrounding areas of Huanzhou reached 50 to 60%. The rest can be said to be mostly the elderly, the sick and the disabled, including the Daluoganchuan area.

Therefore, even though Liang Yi buried the order, he actually collected less than 2,000 Dings, including asking the people to make siege equipment, and the number was also not large.

When he set out in the morning, Cai Ling and Pang Shang left nearly a thousand people to guard Suyuan Village, and the rest were all here, including all the cavalry and some soldiers recruited from Daluoganchuan, as well as hundreds of rebel soldiers led by Mu Qing.

However, Miao Suliang did not have many soldiers, only more than 2,000 people. Therefore, although Cai Ling and Pang Shang were angry, they did not think about it elsewhere, and they thought it was a small number of Song troops from Huanzhou.

So he asked all the soldiers to throw their weapons and attack again.

In fact, if Renduoling Ding's subordinates were in a stalemate in this environment and the Song army was blocked strangely, they would definitely be alert. But Cai Ling and Pang Shang came from Tiandu Mountain and knew that the Song army was not as weak as everyone said, but he would not think about it strangely.

More than a thousand people were holding shields in front and shooting arrows behind.

As the two ministers got closer, some casualties occurred in the Song army.

However, they had confidence this time, even though they were officers and soldiers transferred from Yongxing Army, they continued to fight back calmly.

Cai Ling and Pang Shang looked at the battlefield, and did not need these people to defeat the Song army. As long as the trapped horse pit was found, uncovered, approached the Song army, cut off the rope of the baggage chariot, and then attacked the cavalry. The Song army could be wiped out by these two thousand.

Suddenly, a large number of Song troops appeared on the mountain tower on the side, some were one battalions and some were two battalions, with a total of six or seven Song troops. They flashed out from the top of the tower, rushed down from the top of the tower, approaching the foot of the mountain, and began to bend the bow and arrow from the flank to shoot at the Xia army.

"Not good." Cai Ling Pang Shang said. He ordered again: "Flash to the river."

A very wise order, it is irrational to use cavalry to rush. Although the Song army was rushing down, how could the war horses play a role when they were on the mountain and climbing up the mountain? Only by using this vast area, standing by the river and avoiding the Song army's bows and arrows. If the Song army rushed down further and came to the flat area, they could use war horses to hit.

But he was also thinking in his heart, where did so many Song troops emerge?

It’s not his fault. In fact, since yesterday, he sent a large number of scouts to check. But this Song army came over in the second half of the night and then lurked in the mountains. Pingchuan Avenue was at the foot of the mountain. Cai Ling and Pang Shang just passed by for a while and immediately arrived at Yonghe Village. The road was so wide that he would not have thought of it.

Wang Ju looked at it immediately and said, "Stop shooting arrows, right camp attack."

After he finished speaking, the personal soldiers immediately sent the orders with flags.

The officers and soldiers of the Ninth Battalion stopped shooting arrows, but Wang Junwan led the officers and soldiers of the Sixth Battalion from behind to kill with the help of snowboards.

The speed was very fast, just like an arrow flying, and quickly came to the battlefield, then stood across the river, stopped one by one, and bent his bow and arrows again.

Almost all of the five thousand enemy cavalry were within range. Without Cai Ling and Pang Shang's instructions, they had to move again. However, arrows began to be fired on the mountain on the west side, a little far away, but some Poche troops held the divine arm bow in their hands, which was enough for the range.

"Retreat, withdraw." Cai Ling and Pang Shang urgently ordered when he saw something was wrong.

Thousands of Xia soldiers turned their horses and wanted to retreat to Suyuan Village. But just as they turned around, a large number of Song soldiers flashed out from the valley not far behind them again. They also pushed out the baggage chariots and twisted them into a chariot formation.

The chariot tactics have long disappeared in the long river of history, but because of the special conditions of the moon formation, only Liu Yu used it once in history. However, in special circumstances, he could still use a baggage chariot to deal with the cavalry. For example, Zhao Guangyi and Chai Rong's father-in-law Fu Yanqing used the chariot to deal with the Liao army in the battle of Yangcheng.

Wang Ju also used a car array when he was in Huachi County. Its effect was not that great and had high requirements for terrain. However, under some special terrain, it still played a role. For example, now, there are only a few hundred logistics chariots that blocked the Xia army and trapped thousands of Xia army on this ditch and turned them into living targets.

Cai Ling and Pang Shang anxiously made people sound the horn of help.

This place is not far from Yonghe Village, and there is also a huge cavalry there. As long as the cavalry comes and attacks on both sides, they will be saved, and maybe they can defeat this Song army.

The people of Xixia were blowing the trumpet, but the Song army pretended that they didn't hear it and continued to shoot arrows on both sides.

On this terrain, it is a fatal matter. There are mountains there and cavalry cannot play a role. There is a river here. If you go up the river, the horses will also slip, but they still cannot play a role as cavalry.

One summer man after another was shot down.

But Wang Junwan was anxious and said, "Click people, don't shoot horses."

Thousands of war horses, and some of them were shot down one after another, which made Wang Junwan feel hurt.

The sound of the trumpet also alarmed the Xia army in Yonghe Village. Wang Zangbu immediately led 10,000 cavalry to kill. Seeing that they were approaching the battlefield, a large number of Song soldiers suddenly flashed out from behind Miao Ju. The battle was relatively easy, so Miao Ju brought the subordinates of the 10th battalion together to let them build confidence first.

I was deliberately delaying just now, and I was waiting for Wang Zangbu's ten thousand cavalry to attack. Seeing that they were about to arrive, some Song soldiers took out some skins and jars and began to pour some black things on the ice, as well as some dry grass and dry firewood.

Wang Zangbu and his hands came down to the banks of the Maling Water. Miao Shu ordered his subordinates to withdraw, but there was a layer of black oil on the ice. At the same time, Song soldiers lit torches on the shore, and some Song soldiers picked up the rockets again.

"Hard turmeric?" Wang Zangbu was startled and quickly asked Xia Jun to stop.

Just stop, the Song army continued to siege and kill Cai Ling and Pang Shang's subordinates in front. Cai Ling and Pang Shang didn't know yet, and thought to themselves, why not attack?
To be continued...
