~The number of this cavalry has reached 30,000, and all of them are veterans. In the current Xixia army, the number of veterans is limited. In order to deal with Liu Guangshi's cavalry, the Xixia people also spent a lot of money.
It's just that the march of these 30,000 Xixia cavalry is a bit slow. On the one hand, the Xixia soldiers are extremely hungry, and many of them are weak at the moment. On the other hand, the Xixia people don't train much on weekdays, their military discipline is corrupt, and their troops are degraded.
They are very lazy. Even if they know that the situation is critical at this moment, it is impossible for them to become elite soldiers all of a sudden.
Not to mention that they have no intention of rushing, even the generals of Xixia are cursing at this moment and have no intention of rushing.
The 30,000 cavalrymen walked forward for more than ten miles and came across a burned village. The flames in front of them were still not extinguished. Countless dead bodies could be seen in the flames. Apart from these, almost nothing else remained.
, the food is gone, even the fodder for the horses to eat is gone.
The Xixia general who led the army spat on the ground and cursed: "These damn Han people"
"The Han people are cunning, but looking at the flames in front of us, they haven't gone out. They shouldn't have gone far. Let's work harder and catch up with them," said the Xixia deputy general.
Thirty thousand cavalry traveled all night. At midnight, the soldiers could no longer move. The Xixia general was about to let the soldiers dismount and rest. At this time, a fire suddenly appeared in the distance.
"Get up quickly. It seems that the Han people are over there. Let's catch up with these cowardly Han people immediately. They are just cunning. As long as we catch up with them, we will definitely kill them all," the Xixia general said loudly.
Since the beginning of the war in the northwest, although Liu Guangshi's cavalry entered the territory of Xixia, burned Tiandu Mountain, and burned a lot of military rations, until now, they have not fought head-on with the main force of Xixia, so the Xixia army has no idea about this "Western army".
How powerful is the "Army Cavalry"?
They thought that as long as they charged forward, the Han cavalry would be defeated.
These 30,000 Xixia soldiers rushed forward. The soldiers were also a little excited at this moment. They felt that as long as they caught up and killed all the Han people, they would have food to eat in the future. This was really great.
However, when they arrived at the village, Liangshan's cavalry had already gone away, and only the burning village was left in front of them. The Xixia general cursed, and ordered the soldiers to immediately search for traces of Liangshan's cavalry.
"General, it seems that they went here in the northwest direction. They left so many horse hoof prints. We are also going in the northwest direction." The deputy general investigated and said
"Okay, cheer me up and let's continue on our way." The Xixia general nodded fiercely and said
At that moment, 30,000 Xixia cavalry were heading northwest. When the sky was dark, the soldiers could no longer run. General Luci was about to order the soldiers to stop, when suddenly a cavalry appeared in front of them to see how they were dressed.
This cavalry is exactly that "Western Army Cavalry"
"They only have a few thousand people to charge." The Xixia general was overjoyed. He hurriedly ordered the army to charge forward.
After that, they stopped chasing, and Liangshan's cavalry was always in front of them. The Xixia generals were secretly surprised. The information they had received before was that all Han cavalry were one man and two horses, but now it seems that the Han cavalry was one man and three horses, but he didn't
You know, Liu Guangshi has burned countless Xixia villages during this period, and he has obtained countless war horses from these villages, so the Liangshan cavalry has become one man and three horses.
Every time they wanted to take a rest, Liangshan's cavalry always appeared in front of them "just right", so until now, they have not lost traces of Liangshan's cavalry.

At this moment, dozens of miles away in the west, Liu Guangshi and Zhe Yanzhi were leading troops to burn down another village.
"Brother Liu, Brother Wang only brought 2,000 troops and horses. Xixia sent out 30,000 cavalry. If Brother Wang is surrounded, I'm afraid something bad will happen. We should rescue them immediately," Zheyan said.
"There's no rush, wait until we burn down all the surrounding villages and wait until those 30,000 Xixia cavalry are completely exhausted, then we'll kill them. Huh, these 30,000 people were sent to my mouth, Liu Guangshi."
Meat, I won’t let them go,” Liu Guangshi laughed.
"Brother Liu, how do you know whether Brother Wang has arrived at the place you arranged before?" Zheyan asked again
"This is easy to say and difficult to say. The main thing is to have a good intelligence system. My intelligence system in the Liangshan Army is unrivaled. Almost all intelligence personnel are the elite of the elite. As we speak,
At that time, I don’t know how much news spread to all directions. It can be said that within a radius of 300 miles, every move and every move of every plant and tree is under my control." Liu Guangshidao
The intelligence system of the Liangshan army is extremely developed. Within 300 miles, any information will be conveyed to the commander in the shortest time, and the commander's orders can also be conveyed to the surrounding generals in the shortest time. Speaking of this intelligence system
simple but
If you want to establish a truly efficient intelligence system, the manpower and material resources required are not trivial, and you need specialized personnel to guide and educate Liangshan. From the time when Liangshan raised his army to the present, it took ten years to be able to achieve the goal of an army commander controlling 300 people around him at any time.
extent
Liu Guangshi explained to Zheyanzhi carefully. Zheyanzhi admired him in his heart. Needless to say,
They continued to move forward while talking, burning the remaining villages. In fact, Liu Guangshi's army was divided into 9 parts at this moment. Wang De led 2,000 people or led 30,000 Xixia cavalry to a small town in the west, and the remaining 8,000 people
It was divided into eight roads. These eight roads burned the village, fortified the walls and cleared the fields, and at the same time gathered in the direction of the small town.
At noon, Wang De finally arrived at this small town. His soldiers were all one man and three horses, but even so, the soldiers and horses were exhausted. As for the Xixia army behind them, they were already out of breath at this moment and could not walk at all.
Can't move anymore
Wang De galloped forward, and gradually several cavalrymen came in this direction. These were the cavalrymen from Liangshan, and they came to report the news.
"General Wang, the third regiment has arrived from the east."
"The fourth regiment has arrived"
"The fifth regiment has arrived"
"The Sixth Regiment..."
…
"Haha, brothers, we can go back and destroy them." When all the personnel had gathered and Liu Guangshi's order had been conveyed, Wang De shouted loudly.
"Destroy them" the soldiers behind him shouted.
They had lured the enemy for such a long time, and now it was finally time to encircle them. The soldiers were cheering. They were very tired, but the Xixia people were much more tired than they were. The war was all about strength and will. At this moment, their strength was better than theirs.
Passing the Xixia soldiers behind, their fighting will was ten times, a hundred times that of the Xixia soldiers. Moreover, they surrounded the Xixia army from all directions. It can be said that they occupied the people and people. How could the Xixia soldiers fight them?
Xixia's 30,000 troops had stopped at this moment. Some of them got off their horses and sat on the ground to catch their breath. Others were sitting on their horses looking for a place to rest. The entire Xixia army was in disarray.
At this moment, shouts of killing rang out from all directions, and Liu Guangshi's nine-pronged army came to kill them from all directions.
