Usurping the Mongols: My Father-in-Law is Genghis Khan

The next day, the morning light was like a knife, cutting through the curtain of night, and a cold, gray color appeared on the horizon.

Sutai personally led two thousand Mongol soldiers, advancing forty miles to fight the vanguard of the Western Xia army.

The vanguard of the Western Xia army did not seem to be intimidated by the terrifying results of the Mongol army's battle yesterday.

Three thousand Western Xia vanguard soldiers did not hesitate to leave their well-established camp and engaged in paired combat with the Mongol army on the open wilderness.

That's right, it was paired combat.

If the main force of Western Xia had arrived, mainly infantry, even if they were to fight the Mongol army in the field, they would definitely form a strict formation, exchanging blows and using their respective skills to engage in combat.

However, these three thousand vanguard soldiers of the Western Xia army were all elite cavalry.

When cavalry clashes, in this era, apart from cavalry charging into formations, most would choose sparse formations for paired combat.

The soldiers relied on their diligently practiced martial arts and horsemanship to seize their own glory.

"Kill!"

Sutai wielded his large iron spear with all his might, sweeping a Western Xia soldier in front of him off his horse at the waist.

The Western Xia soldier let out a painful wail, obviously seriously injured and not far from death.

"Die!"

Sutai didn't even glance at the wounded soldier, drawing his bow and firing two arrows in succession, hitting the backs of two Western Xia soldiers fifty paces away.

The long arrows viciously entered from their backs and exited from their chests, with blood gushing out.

"Ah!"

Under the severe pain, the two Western Xia knights let out a wail and fell off their horses.

"Hmph, nothing more than this!"

Now, Sutai had made his judgment.

The individual combat strength of these three thousand vanguard soldiers was actually similar to that of the five hundred scouts.

It's just that there are more people, and it is unlikely to wipe them out on the spot. They must be chased for a considerable distance.

Mu Huali, who was on the side, also made a similar judgment.

He stood side by side with Zhao Shuo, turned to look at Zhao Shuo, and said: "It seems that it won't be long before Sutai wins.

However, the Western Xia army is not disorganized in defeat, and their morale is not low. I am afraid there is a trick up their sleeve."

Mu Huali was born as a slave of the Jurchen people.

After Temujin destroyed the Jurchen people, he valued Mu Huali's talent and promoted him to be a general under his command.

Mu Huali quickly stood out and became Temujin's right-hand man.

This person is both humble and gentle, and a brilliant war genius, who can be called a military god.

If he had been born in the Central Plains instead of the grasslands, he would probably be a figure comparable to Li Jing, the military god of the Tang Dynasty.

Among Temujin's generals, Sutai and Zhao Shuo had the best personal relationship and were brothers who had risked their lives together.

Mu Huali and Zhao Shuo cooperated most tacitly. Both were war geniuses who cherished each other, and sometimes understood each other's meaning with just a look.

Zhao Shuo said: "If it were normal, it would not be difficult for Sutai to see through the Western Xia's trap.

However, he is now eager to prove himself, and I am afraid he will suffer a big loss."

"Then you will have to take action at that time."

Mu Huali looked at the battlefield and glanced at Zhao Shuo.

Zhao Shuo nodded, his eyes distant, and did not speak.

Of course, Mu Huali would not ask whether to remind Sutai.

Now Sutai is eager to make contributions, and his mentality has become inflated.

Even if Mu Huali and Zhao Shuo reminded Sutai at the same time, he would not take it to heart.

That's okay too.

In Mu Huali's mind, Zhao Shuo was invincible in the world, and leading two hundred black riders was enough to cover Sutai's back.

Rumble ~ ~

Sure enough, before long, the Western Xia people, seeing that they were no match for the Mongol army, turned their horses' heads and fled rapidly to the rear.

"Want to leave? What a daydream! Warriors, chase me!" Sutai gave a cold laugh and issued an order to pursue.

There is no need to issue specific orders.

The most common way for grassland people to hunt is the best training method for war.

How to chase and kill the remaining enemies has long been deeply ingrained.

At this time, two generals under Sutai each led nearly six hundred soldiers, roaring and galloping towards the left and right wings, preparing to encircle the Western Xia army.

Sutai then led eight hundred soldiers, closely following behind the remaining Western Xia army.

On the surface, whether the Western Xia army fled in a straight line or galloped in a curve, there was absolutely no chance of survival.

However, in fact, Sutai had already fallen into a carefully designed trap by the Western Xia people.

"Drive! Drive! Drive!"

"Quick, quick, quick!"

With shouts, Sutai led eight hundred Mongol soldiers and chased forward for twenty miles, and was about to bite the tail of the Western Xia people.

The newest and most complete novels are all published in the 69 Book Bar!

It was at this time that the road ahead suddenly changed. A road led to the distance, and two dense forests stood eerily on both sides of the road.

For military strategists, this was already a very dangerous place.

"Chase!"

Sutai was eager to make contributions, and after a little consideration, he rode his horse to chase after them, with eight hundred grassland warriors closely following behind.

"Kill! Kill the grassland barbarians!"

"Leave no one alive! Leave no one alive!"

Just as these eight hundred people all entered the road with dense forests on both sides, shouts of killing suddenly arose from the forests on both sides.

Swish swish swish!

Bursting with terrifying hissing sounds, terrifying cold arrows like short spears suddenly shot out from the dense forests on both sides, and nearly three hundred warriors fell to the ground in an instant!

For a time, people and horses were overturned, and blood and flesh flew everywhere!

"This... How is this possible?"

The situation changed too quickly, and Sutai simply couldn't believe his eyes.

However, nothing is impossible.

In order to win this battle and boost morale, the Western Xia people had made a huge investment.

Not only did they send five hundred private soldiers from the Yue Wang Mansion, but they also equipped the ambush soldiers in the dense forest with a thousand sets of the Western Xia's magical weapon, the Divine Arm Bow.

Many people in later generations thought that the Divine Arm Bow was invented by the Song people, but that is not the case.

There is a record in "Dream Pool Essays"; During the Xining period, Li Ding presented a partial frame crossbow, which resembled a bow but used a trunk pedal.

It was stretched by stepping on the pedal to the ground, and it could shoot three hundred steps, piercing through heavy armor, and was called the "Divine Arm Bow", which was the most powerful weapon.

Li Ding was originally a leader of the Dangxiang Qiang tribe, who surrendered to the imperial court, became an official to the defense regiment and died, and his sons were all brave and powerful in the west.

In other words, this Divine Arm Bow was invented by the Western Xia people and presented to the Great Song.

The Divine Arm Bow was really powerful. The bow body was three feet three inches long, the string was two feet five inches long, and the range was as far as two hundred and forty steps, and it could easily shoot through the heavy armor of the Iron Float!

Of course, the Divine Arm Bow was so awesome, but the disadvantages were not small.

This thing looks like a bow on the surface, but it is actually a heavy crossbow, which must be re-stringed by stepping on it with your feet.

It is mainly used by infantry for defense, and it can never be drawn on horseback.

That is to say, in this fierce battle to ambush Sutai, the Western Xia people's Divine Arm Bow only had one shot.

But then again, one shot is also great.

With just one volley, more than three hundred Mongol warriors were seriously injured.

Now there are less than five hundred people left around Sutai.

"Kill!"

An old but high-pitched voice, loud and full of killing intent, sounded!

The old Western Xia general Gao Dechang was the main general in this secret ambush.

As soon as the Divine Arm Bow had finished volleying, he took the lead, leading his four sons and two thousand elite Western Xia soldiers ambushing in the dense forest to rush out!
