As soon as the horn of the Xia army was sounded, all the soldiers in Richard's army immediately followed the pre-arranged arrangements, and all teams cooperated and moved upon hearing the sound of the horn.

The King of Jin, Richard Brother, was riding on a war horse and was sitting in the army. He ordered Cang Lang to lead the ninth team and most of the tenth team's iron kite troops, totaling 500 horses, and lead 3,000 Jingzhou troops to charge head-on.

Song camp.

Brother Richard only left a part of the tenth team of the Iron Kites, a total of one hundred riders, to protect him.

The sound of the Xia Army's horns signified the issuance of the general attack order arranged by Brother Richard in advance.

After hearing the sound of horns, Meileqimo led the left-wing iron kite army of 1,200 riders, charged at full speed, and struck diagonally towards the right side of the Song army's camp.

Wanderer Mi led the right-wing iron kite army with 1,200 cavalry, and also charged at full speed, cutting diagonally towards the right flank of the Song army's camp.

"Come on!"

"Kill..."

At the same time, the east city gate of Xiping Mansion opened wide, and a group of 2,000 Xijing cavalry infantry came out. The front group was led by 500 cavalry, and the rear group was followed by 1,500 infantry.

The morale of the Xia army that left Xijing City was high. After they learned that the first god of war in Xixia Kingdom, Jin King Richard Brother, was the commander, he had brought Xixia's most powerful 3,000 iron kite troops and 5,000 Jingzhou soldiers to reinforce them.

When they raided and annihilated the Song army camp outside the east city of Xijing tonight, they seemed to have seen the scene of themselves receiving the reward after winning the battle tonight.

"Whoever kills the most heads of the Song army generals will be heavily rewarded!"

"Rush..."

"Kill..."

The soldiers and generals of the four Western Xia armies rushed towards the Song army camp, shouting and shouting, almost forming a siege.

Brother Richard, the king of Jin, who was protected by an army of hundreds of iron kites, sat on a war horse and supervised the battle from the front. His angular face showed a proud smile of victory, and the three-inch short beard on his chin curled up with his smile.

Woke up.

At this time, on the main road inside the Song Army camp, the commander Han Shizhong, who was riding on a war horse, heard the enemy's horn horns and the enemy's shouts of killing from four directions outside the camp. He did not panic at all, but instead

His resolute face showed his confidence that he would win this battle.

Part of coach Han Shizong's confidence comes from the fact that he and Yue Fei planned out in advance how to deal with the enemy's night attack;

Another factor comes from his many years of victorious experience on the battlefield, and the ten thousand elite soldiers he trained after receiving the orders of Zhao Guanjia, one against five;

The confidence in the final eight points came from the correct strategy of "raiding Xixia Zhengqi Xiangyi" formulated by the Zhao Guan family, as well as the large amount of gunpowder weapons given to them.

Han Shizhong was willing to use himself as bait, and he must catch the most powerful iron kite army commanded by Li Chage, the Jin king of Xixia Kingdom.

Now that the big fish has bitten the hook, it just depends on whether an elite army commanded by Han Shizhong and Yue Fei can successfully walk the fish, and then successfully lift the net to get the big fish ashore and pocket it.

Han Shizhong was riding majesticly on a war horse, pointing his spear at the night sky, and issued military orders:

"Thunder rings and war drums sound, and smoke rises."

"Follow the order!"

The eight war drums beside the main road of the Song Army's camp sounded in unison. Next to the giant firewood that had been piled on the mound more than ten feet high, the soldiers moved upon hearing the order and immediately lit the dry firewood. After a while,

The entire huge pile of firewood burst into flames, and a large amount of wet firewood and wolf dung mixed in it also burned, raising a large amount of thick smoke.

The sound of war drums and the sound of smoke were the signals that Han Shizhong and Yue Fei had planned in advance to launch a counterattack against the enemy.

Brother Richard, who was supervising the battle on the frontal battlefield outside the Song Camp, saw the fire in the center of the Song Camp and the thick smoke rising. He curled his lips and said with a smile:

"Haha! Song Jun is at his wits end!"

"I, led by the Iron Kites, suddenly attacked at night. Song Jun, you have already violated the taboo of going deep alone. Now you raise the smoke and ask for help. Who can save you in time?!"

"The Iron Harriers under my command will surely defeat the Song camp with just one charge!"

Brother Richard said confidently, and Tu Lunxia, ​​the iron kite general who was riding on a war horse and responsible for the defense, flattered and praised:

"Goodbye, King Jin! Tonight, the commander of the Song army in this battalion will definitely become the second Song general Liu Fa to die at the hands of the king!"

"Hahaha..." Brother Richard laughed arrogantly and said:

"The commanders and generals of this Song army are all nameless men. How dare they be compared with Liu Fa, the natural war god of the Song Dynasty who died at the hands of my king?!"

Turunxia showed an even more admiring expression and said hurriedly:

"Yes, yes, yes! What the king said is absolutely true. The little one has learned a lesson!"

The King of Jin, Richard, was confident and even more arrogant. He drew out his machete and pointed it in the direction of Song Ying, shouting loudly in Dangxiang dialect:

"Send the order to all ministries and attack with the whole army."

"After breaking the Song camp, we first pretended to appease the Song generals who asked to surrender, and promised high-ranking officials generous salaries to induce them to put down their weapons. After they became our prisoners, our soldiers will kill them all. This is

After our army's great victory, not a single Song person was left alive!

Humph! I want the people of Song Dynasty to know: Anyone who offends our country in Great Xia will be driven out and killed!"

"Follow the order!"

After Brother Richard's military order was issued, the Xia army's offensive became even more fierce...

At this time, on a hillside two miles away from Richard's headquarters, Yue Fei led 3,000 elite Song troops, who had been in ambush for a long time.

When Yue Fei saw the fire and smoke rising from the mound in Han Shizhong's camp, he knew that the Xia army was aggressively attacking the Song camp and that they had fallen into a trap.

This was the best time for him and Han Shizhong to plan a counterattack to kill Richard's army.

In order to boost morale, Yue Fei pointed his spear at the foot of the mountain, where Brother Richard was attacking Song Ying, and said loudly:

"I predict that Brother Richard, the King of the Jin Dynasty of Western Xia, will be among them. The plan that General Han and I decided to lure the enemy to attack has come to fruition. The Xia army will definitely lose in this battle!

You follow me and attack the main force of the Xia army. If we are surprised, we will win this battle!

Pass on my military order: Those who dare to kill the enemy will be rewarded, and those who shrink from the battle will be killed! Charge!"

Yue Fei took the lead, leading three thousand elite troops down the hillside, like tigers descending from the mountain, and went straight to the rear of Richard's troops to kill...

At the same time, the 1,200-horse left-wing iron kite army led by Mei Leqimo rushed towards the right side of the Song camp where Han Shizhong was commanding;

The 1,200 right-wing iron kite troops led by Wanderer Mi led them to attack the left side of the Song camp;

The Xia army that came out of Xijing City also fought bravely in front of the Song camp...

Watch Canglang lead the Iron Harrier Army's 500 cavalry and Jingzhou's 3,000 soldiers and horses to attack the rear of the Song camp.

The Xia army divided into four groups and launched an almost encirclement-like general attack in the four directions of the Song camp where Han Shizhong was stationed: the southeast, northwest and northwest...

At the beginning, the Xia army's four-pronged attack went very smoothly. Their front cavalry did not encounter fierce resistance from the Song army, and smoothly charged into the Song camp's outpost.

Just when the four generals including Meileqimo and Langzhemi thought that they would attack the Song army tonight with Jin King Richard's night attack, they would definitely win a crushing victory with an absolute superiority of troops;

Little did they know that Han Shizhong and Yue Fei had devised a plan to first give up the Song camp's outpost positions in order to lure the enemy in. The Song camp's several-mile radius and outpost positions in four directions had already been measured by the Song army.

Best range for long range attacks.

Suddenly, hundreds of large rocks flew out of the Song army's formation, which seemed to have retreated and shrunk back to the center of the Song camp.

Stones weighing dozens of kilograms were fired by hundreds of trebuchets that Han Shizhong had his soldiers prepare.

"Whirring whirring……"

"Whirring whirring……"

The dense rocks that roared down from the sky instantly killed and injured about 400 Xia troops who were besieging them from four directions.

After all the four armies of Xixia suffered this attack, the morale of the Xia armies did not decline. On the one hand, because the generals of the Xia armies were supervising the battle behind them, those who retreated without listening to the call to withdraw their troops would be killed;

On the other hand, most of these Xixia soldiers were veterans who had fought against the Song army. They had seen the Song army's trebuchets on the battlefield, and they were not too afraid.

They knew that the damage caused by the large stones thrown by the trebuchet was random, and they were unlikely to be unlucky enough to be hit by stones falling from the sky.

Moreover, they knew that after the first round of trebuchets was fired, they had to use a winch to pull the long arm back to an almost horizontal position, then reload the ammunition before firing, which was very time-consuming.

The Xixia soldiers and generals all realized that as long as they survived the first round of stone cannons from the Song army and rushed at the speed of their front cavalry until they were 180 steps away from the temporary formation in the Song camp, their front cavalry would

While riding the horse forward, they fired several volleys of bows and arrows at the same time. After severely injuring the Song army, they then charged forward and were able to crush the Song camp and achieve a great victory.

Although the Song Army's stone cannons were inferior to the Xia Army's, the Xia Army's morale was still strong and their fighting spirit was still strong.

The generals and squad leaders of the Xixia Army shouted party language with almost the same meaning in order to boost their morale:

"Taking advantage of the Song army's opportunity to reload stone bullets, our army quickly rushed into the enemy's formation, causing them to lose their advantage..."

"Come on!"

"Kill..."

"Rush..."

Xixia's four-pronged army, shouting to kill in Dangxiang language, with overwhelming momentum, rushed at full speed towards the Song army's formation that was huddled in the center of the Song camp...

"Bang bang bang..."

"Bang bang bang..."

Xia Jun was thankful that he had escaped the attack range of the Song Army's first round of stone cannons, but none of them expected that suddenly, they all heard a deafening "thunder" sound from the front of the Song Army's formation...

…

The sound of dozens of mountain artillery fire rang out from the main position of the Song Army, which was crisp, powerful and fast-paced.

The soldiers of the four Xia armies all heard the loud noise, and many soldiers also saw dozens of meteor-like objects flying into their army.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom……"

More than a dozen shells fired by the Song Army exploded among the four Xia troops.

In an instant, balls of fire rose up among the four Xia troops, and a large amount of thick smoke rose into the sky.

Countless shrapnel in the shells flew across the explosion range, penetrating the armor of the Xixia soldiers and Iron Kite Army horses within the explosion range, and piercing into their flesh and blood;

Even the heavy armor of the Iron Kites, which was difficult for bows and arrows to penetrate and impenetrable for spears and knives, was as vulnerable as a piece of paper to the blooming artillery shells developed by Zhao Guan's family.
