Across the Water Margin: Officials of Ximen

In Pingxia City, Ma Kuo and Liu Kai saw that the two armies outside the city were about to start a big battle, and they were also neatly dressed, and they took [-] elites to stand by in the city, ready to go out of the city to respond to the battle.

The Ximen Qing army was mainly infantry, so wooden fences and horse refusals were temporarily set up in front of the formation and on the left and right sides, and pikemen and archers were set up layer by layer after the horse refusal.

In addition, besides the refusal horses on the left and right wings, there are thousands of cavalry covering the flanks.

This is a defensive formation when infantry fights against cavalry, which can be described as quite satisfactory and unremarkable.

This time, Ximen Qing hid all the Musketeers in the infantry phalanx in the back row, making it difficult for the Xixia army on the opposite side to see the truth.

Li Liangfu looked at Chu Jun's slightly thin wooden fence and rejected horses, with a contemptuous expression on his face.

It's just a small stumbling block, how can it stop the assault of my Great Xia cavalry?

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

The army formation of the Xixia Army is very simple. Li Liangfu divided his [-] cavalry into three armies: left, middle, and right.

With this formation, the central army can rush forward and become a powerful front and arrow formation, or it can be formed by two formations on the left and right, and spread out to the two wings, forming a crane-wing formation that surrounds the enemy.

How to use it, of course, depends on the opponent's situation.

The more than 1 troops returned to the siege by the Zhenrong Army were organized into a separate formation by Li Liangfu and used as auxiliary troops.

Ren Dejing's army was behind Li Liang's auxiliary army, monitoring the defenders in Pingxia City.

Life depends on acting skills.Ximen Qing looked at the arrogant Xixia cavalry on the opposite side, and gave orders to the generals under his command.

Ximenqing ordered that if Li Liangfu's entire army launched an assault, the pikemen and archers would all squat on the ground to make room for the musketeers behind them.

After the enemy cavalry came into range, the Musketeer Battalion fired intensively in turn, killing and wounding the cavalry of the Xixia Army.

If Li Liangfu was cautious in using his troops and only sent a team of soldiers to test the attack, the Musketeer Battalion would continue to hide their strength, and the pikemen and archers would meet the enemy, waiting for Ximenqing to use his tricks to lure Li Liangfu to the bait.

All the generals under Ximen Qing's command knew what the bait the coach Ximen Qing had set for the Xixia Army, so they understood Ximen Qing's order, and each took the order to command the troops of the headquarters to prepare for the battle.

After the formation of the two armies was completed, the sun climbed into the sky and gradually moved south from the east.

The Xixia army is deploying its formation with its back to the north and south. If it is delayed, it will become a backlight operation, which will have a negative impact on Li Liangfu's cavalry.

Therefore, Li Liangfu no longer hesitated, ordered people to beat the drums, and officially launched the attack.

Although he underestimated the Chu army, Li Liangfu did not immediately launch an assault with the entire army, but let the more than 1 Xixia troops in the flanks take the lead in launching a tentative attack.

With the sound of drums and trumpets, the more than 1 Xixia infantry stepped up from the right wing of the army array, holding their shields and approaching Ximen Qing's army.

Seeing that the main cavalry of the Xixia Army hadn't moved out, Jiang Zhong and Hong Zhen commanded the heavy armored infantry in the front row to set up a large shield and spear behind the rejecting horse, standing still like a wall of copper and iron.

Zhou Tong's disciples, including Yue Fei, Wang Gui, and Zhang Xian, commanded the archers and got ready to shoot.

Yue Fei rode on the horse, visually measured the distance of the Xixia Army's infantry, and gave orders to the archers.

"The enemy's army is two arrows away, prepare and roll!"

……

"Raise the bow and shoot the arrow!"

Following Yue Fei's order, thousands of archers threw their arrows into the air ahead.

The infantry of the Xixia Army had just rushed into the land within a stone's throw of Ximen Qing's army, when a rain of arrows fell densely on their heads.

However, these Xixia infantry were protected by helmets, armor and shields. Most of the arrows shot at them bounced off with a "jingle". Only more than 100 unlucky ones were shot at the poorly protected area. Facing the door, he fell to the ground and died.

"Raise the bow and shoot the arrow!"

After walking a few steps, the second round of arrow rain fell again.

This time, because the distance was closer and more Xixia troops entered the range, the archers commanded by Yue Fei and others increased their lethality against the Xixia army, and hundreds of people were shot down to the ground.

"squat!"

Jiang Zhong, Hong Zhen, Yao Zheng and other generals commanding the heavy armored infantry also issued orders.

The well-trained heavy armored infantry squatted down halfway, revealing the archers behind them.

"Flat shot, release!"

General Yue Fei, Wang Gui and others gave the order to shoot flat.

Thousands of archers no longer projectiles, but used strong bows and crossbows to shoot flat at the Xixia army.

This time, the arrows of the Ximen Qing army's archers directly shot through the armor of many Xixia army infantrymen, knocking down thousands of people.

However, the archers of the Xixia Army also approached the Ximen Qing Army under the cover of the soldiers in front, and counterattacked the Ximen Qing Army with bows and arrows.

Therefore, in the next two rounds of bow and arrow shooting, both sides killed each other.

After two rounds of flat shooting, the Xixia army's infantry had already rushed to the front of Ximen Qing's formation, chopping wooden fences and rejecting horses with knives and axes.

Jiang Zhong, Hong Zhen and others gave an order, and the heavy armored infantry of the Ximen Qing Army stepped forward, stabbing the horses with their long spears, knocking down many soldiers of the Xixia Army.

The pikemen of the Xixia army also confronted Ximen Qing's army through wooden fences and horses, and the archers of the two armies also threw bows and arrows at the opposing army behind the armored soldiers.

There are also infantrymen of the Xixia Army, regardless of casualties, frantically destroying the wooden fence and rejecting horses in front of the Ximen Qing Army's formation.

Amid the yelling and roaring, a face-to-face hand-to-hand combat began.Blood splattered, and soldiers of the two armies continued to be wounded and fell down.

Because Ximen Qing's army was equipped with better armor, and the infantry trained by Jiang Zhong, Hong Zhen and others were also stronger. In hand-to-hand combat, Ximen Qing's army still had the upper hand.

The infantry of the Xixia Army crashed into the rocks like waves, hitting their heads and bleeding again and again.

After suffering heavy casualties, the infantry of the Xixia Army managed to destroy many wooden fences in front of the Ximen Qing Army.

Ximen Qing rode on a snow-treading black horse, watching Jiang Zhongjun's heavy infantry fall one after another with heartache.

These troops were trained and trained by Ximen Qing after years of hard work and a lot of money.

However, before the cavalry of Li Liang's auxiliary army was dispatched, Ximenqing could only choose to forbear, let the Musketeer Battalion stand still, and use heavy armored infantry and archers to engage in traditional cold weapon warfare with their opponents.

For the final victory, these casualties were the price Ximen Qing had to bear.

Under the banner of the Central Army of the Xixia Army, Li Liangfu, the leader of the Xixia Army, watched the battle ahead and made a judgment in his heart.

Obviously, the infantry of the Chu Army in the frontal formation is an elite unit, which is better than the infantry of the Xixia Army.

The archers of the Chu army are also well-trained and can launch salvos in a uniform manner.

The combat effectiveness of the Chu army is stronger than what we saw yesterday, and they are not vulnerable mobs.
