In an instant, four Xia troops rushed towards the Song Army's camp. Under the bombardment of the first round of artillery shells by the Song army, dozens of Xia troops and dozens of horses were killed in each route; each Xia army suffered serious or minor injuries.

There are no less than a hundred people...

"Woo, chirp, chirp..." The iron kite army's war horses were frightened by the explosion of the artillery shells and fled with their hooves. Even the very experienced iron kite army cavalry could not control their frightened mounts.

"Ahhh..." The injured Xia Junbing screamed in pain and horror.

The psychological shock and panic this brought to the Xia army generals who were lucky enough not to be injured by the shells around the wounded were unimaginably great.

After all, in this kind of ancient battlefield dominated by cold weapon warfare, Xia Jun's soldiers witnessed and personally experienced the huge lethality of gunpowder weapons that they had never seen before. They all thought that they had experienced a catastrophe and lightning strike.

"Hahaha!" Han Shizhong laughed in surprise in the formation: "The artillery developed by Zhao Guan's family is really powerful! Keep firing the artillery, and supplement it with stone cannons to kill the invading summer dogs!"

"Follow the order!"

"Whoosh whoosh..." The trebuchet began its second round of firing stone projectiles.

"Bang bang bang..." More than ten mountain cannons began the second round of bombardment in the four directions of the four Xixia troops.

The Xia Army's left-wing iron kite army, 1,200 cavalry, and the right-wing iron kite army, 1,200 cavalry, rushed deeply into the left and right sides of the Song army's formation. However, by this time, they had become the artillery of the Song army.

The best target to attack.

Although Han Shizhong's troops left the red cannons to the Song army of Guo Cheng's tribe who were attacking Xia head-on in order to reduce their load for a long-distance surprise attack on Xijing, the Xia Kingdom, the Han tribe only had a dozen or so mountain cannons that were lighter and easier to transport.

Although the power of the mountain artillery was weaker than that of the red cannon, it still caused great casualties to the Xixia army. These Xixia soldiers, especially the Three Thousand Cavalry Iron Kites Army, the most elite heavy armored cavalry in the Xixia Kingdom, were not afraid of the cold.

The weapons were shot with arrows and slashed with knives, but tonight they tested the artillery with their own bodies, proving that even the Iron Kites Army, which was strong in both offense and defense, was no match for the artillery brought by the Zhao Guan family.

In larger-scale wars, hot weapons will absolutely crush cold weapons.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

Cannonballs falling from the sky exploded again among the four Xia troops.

In an instant, Xia Jun's four armies suffered a total of four to five hundred casualties.

If it were a direct battle of cold weapons between the two armies, even if the Xia army suffered more than a thousand casualties, then under the command of King Richard of Jin, the greatest warrior in Xixia, the morale of the Xia army would never be in chaos.

However, after the Song Army used the artillery developed by Zhao Guan, a long-range attack weapon with huge lethality, it directly destroyed the morale of the Xia Army.

After the Xia army was hit hard by two rounds of stone cannons and artillery by the Song army, the Xia army's officers and soldiers lost all fighting spirit.

The four Xia armies, which were still very aggressive before, are now seeing large numbers of soldiers retreating in retreat...

In the rear formation of the Xia army, Brother Richard, who was commanding the Xia army, saw that the Song army only fired two rounds with artillery and stone cannons, and defeated the Xia army that had the upper hand and retreated miserably.

Before, he had put on an arrogant and proud face because he was confident that he would win this battle, but now he was livid with fear, and his heart suddenly sank to the bottom.

"No! I have fallen into the trap of the Song Army!" Brother Richard secretly complained in his heart:

"Previously, I reported from the scouting horse that the 'Thunder-inducing' artifact of the Song Army under Guo Cheng was very heavy and difficult to transport;

However, this Song army that unexpectedly arrived outside the Xijing City of our Kingdom of Great Xia actually brought with them a large number of 'Thunder-inducing' artifacts?

Alas! Before, I underestimated the leader of this group of extraordinary soldiers of the Song Army!

Did the Song Dynasty really have a second Liu Fa?"

Brother Richard, who has experienced many battles, only needed the blink of an eye to assess the situation and concluded that the Song camp had been prepared for a long time, and the strategy of sneak attack and siege of the Song camp tonight had failed.

Brother Richard frowned and shouted reluctantly:

"Ming Jin withdraws his troops! We will fight again tomorrow!"

"Follow the order!"

The eighteen messenger cavalrymen beside Brother Richard immediately picked up the horns that they had been blowing just now, and immediately took off the gongs and gong hammers hanging from their waists.

"Danglanglang..."

"Danglanglang..."

"Danglanglang..."

Brother Richard saw that the current battle situation was unfavorable to the Xia army. Even if he didn't have to pay for the retreat, the four Xia armies retreated and were defeated.

However, he knew that after ordering Ming Jin to withdraw his troops, the three armies he sent would definitely obey the military order and retreat back to his commander; this would preserve the combat effectiveness of the Iron Kites Army and the remnants of Jingzhou soldiers and horses to the maximum extent.

Sure enough, after the four armies of the Xixia Army heard Brother Richard calling for gold and withdrawing their troops, only the remnants of the Xixia Xijing troops retreated towards the east gate of Xijing;

The remaining three Xia army soldiers and horses did not retreat in a chaotic manner like they did after being bombarded by the Song army at the beginning. Instead, they turned their horses and prepared to converge in the direction of Jin King Richard.

At this time, Han Shizhong, who was on the main road of the Song Army's camp, realized that after the Xia Army had experienced the huge lethality of the artillery developed by Zhao Guan's family, they wanted to retreat.

Han Shizhong roared: "Instruction: Our artillery will carry out the designated third round of artillery strikes and fire at the positions of the enemy's generals!"

"Follow the order!" The herald agreed and waved the flag in his hand. Then the eight drummers below changed their drumbeats to another rhythm and beat the war drums together:

"Boom, boom!"

"Boom, boom!"

When the artillerymen at the Song camp's artillery position heard the sound of drums, they knew they had to carry out the military orders assigned by the commander in advance.

They all quickly adjusted the angles of their mountain cannons, aiming at the position with the flag among the retreating Xia army, or at the center of the Xia army's key protective layer of cavalry, and then fired decisively.

"Bang, bang, bang..."

"Bang, bang, bang..." The rapid, short and rhythmic sound of artillery firing sounded from the Song Army's artillery position.

Suddenly, the artillery shells dragged their tails like fire dragons, streaking in the night sky like meteors for a moment, and pierced into the target of the Song Army's artillery - the suspected position of the Xia Army's general.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom……"

More than a thousand Xia troops who fled towards the east gate of Xijing in Daxia were bombarded by several artillery shells before they could escape a few steps.

"Ah, ah ah..."

"Ouch, ouch..." Suddenly, the Xixia Army soldiers who were hit let out pitiful screams.

Some of the countless shrapnel that exploded flew into the head of Xia Bingbing, causing them to fall to the ground with a bloody head; some of the shrapnel flew into Xia Bing's arms and legs, causing them to fall to the ground.

The bones and flesh were broken; the Xia army's wounded were wailing endlessly...

After the third round of shelling by the Song artillery of Han Shizhong's army, the other three Xia armies of Brother Richard's army suffered hundreds of casualties.

Previously, sister Le Qimo, who was responsible for commanding the attack of the left-wing iron kite army, saw that the situation was not good, and heard that the commander Jin Wang had ordered troops to retreat in the direction of the attack;

He immediately turned his horse around and was about to lead the remnants of the Iron Kites Army, which had less than a thousand riders, to retreat to King Jin. However, as soon as he rushed a few dozen steps away, he felt a strong wind coming from behind.

"Huh..." Sister Leqimo felt a strong wind behind her, blowing from top to bottom in mid-air.

"Boom!" Lechimo heard a deafening loud noise.

He felt a hot and huge wave of air, lifting his upper body off the horse he was firmly tied to, and flying into the air.

The moment Lechimo flew up, he used the bright moonlight and the fire of the exploding cannonball to see that the war horse he was riding was seriously injured and fell to the ground twitching. What shocked him even more was that the horse he was riding was

The war horse still retained the lower body of his sister Lechimo, which was already bloody and bloody...

"Ah?!" Before he could understand what was happening, he felt a heartbreaking pain in his waist.

It turned out that Lechimo was hit in the back by a cannonball. Although he was wearing thick armor, how could the armor that could protect against arrows protect against powerful cannonballs?

The exploding shell blew the girl Lechimo into two pieces from the waist.

Since the soldiers of the Iron Kites Army had to tie their legs to the war horse before fighting, the lower body of Melekimo was still on the dying war horse.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! And his upper body, after experiencing an air trip several feet high,

With a "pop" sound, it fell to the ground that was already scorched earth.

"Ahhhh?! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa…" After screaming several times, his breath gradually weakened.

Lechimo's semen and blood flowed all over the floor, soaking large pieces of soil. After two or three breaths, he passed out from the pain.

The cavalrymen who came from far behind him were frightened when they saw the tragic situation of their general. They galloped up their horses and fled as fast as they could...

The Wanderer Mi, who was in charge of commanding the Iron Kites on the right wing, was not much better. He was hit in the head by several shrapnel. The pain was severe, his eyes were black, and he died on the spot.

But his war horse was not fatally injured. It was still hunched and had become the owner of the corpse. Among the remnants of the fleeing Tie Yaozi cavalry, it galloped with all its strength, taking the lead, and galloped away in the direction of King Richard of Jin.

.

…………

"Ah??!" Tu Lunxia, ​​the tooth general next to Brother Richard, exclaimed and shouted:

"Your Majesty, it's not good! Both the iron kite armies on the left and right wings suffered a disastrous defeat!"

"Your Majesty, look, the Song army is coming out in full force and coming towards us!

Let me cover. Your Majesty, retreat quickly! If you don’t retreat, it will be too late!!!”

Brother Richard originally wanted to wait here for a while and gather the remnants of the defeated Iron Kite Army and the remnants of Jingzhou soldiers and horses into an army again.

He never expected that Song camp commander Han Shizhong had already led 500 cavalry and 1,500 infantry, galloped out of the camp, and was chasing the remnants of the defeated Xia army...

"Ah?!" King Richard of Jin looked at the Song Army cavalry led by Han Shizhong, with high aspirations, their armor shone with cold light, and their swords, guns, swords and halberds intertwined into a silver storm, sweeping towards him like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.
