However, these miraculous low-probability events will always be easily eliminated based on the huge numbers of the warring parties, and will be replaced by things such as armor, weapons, training level, morale, etc. that actually affect the exchange ratio between the two sides.

Thanks to these factors, the Song army gained the upper hand, but the Xixia people, who should have retreated, still had no intention of retreating and they were holding on.

By the river, Hu Hongxiu and Yue Fei were still moving slowly. Looking at this scene, although a little dazed, they were not too confused... Yue Fei had experienced the entire Song-Jin War, from Hebei to the Central Plains, and had seen too many distorted expressions of human nature in war. Hu Hongxiu had just returned from the Western Xia Kingdom and knew something about the Western Xia people. They knew very well why the Western Xia people were so crazy.

To put it bluntly, whether it is the White Bull Banner or defending the country, they are certainly reasons, but for these low-level Xixia tribal members who cannot even enter the army, these are just reasons.

The country of Western Xia was warlike and devoted to Buddhism and witchcraft. That was how the lower-class people lived. It has been better in recent years, but it has not changed the nature of the country.

Of course, they are living people after all, and they will soon be awakened by the blood and then completely collapse.

However, just when the entire Western Xia army was going crazy, one Western Xia army wisely chose to retreat... Under the White Ox Banner, Western Xia Liang Wang Weiming Anhui did not hesitate at all. After seeing the large number of Song cavalry rushing out aggressively, he directly chose to retreat according to the tactics of this battle.

In fact, Weiming An Hui's army was currently commanding the only temporarily assembled armored cavalry of the Xixia people, all of whom were sons of nobles from Xingqing Prefecture. Logically, he had no need to retreat, and he could even take advantage of the favorable wind and the courage to defend his country to fight Qu Duan.

However, isn’t this for the greater good?

What is the overall situation? The overall situation is that the main force of the Western Xia army is still unarmored light cavalry. Facing the armored cavalry of the Song army, they should take the initiative to retreat, lure the Song cavalry out of the protective range of the army formation, and then use the advantage of the light cavalry to wear down the enemy.

Therefore, there is nothing wrong with Weiming Anhui's actions.

However, when the Xixia commander left the front line and moved to the safe rear, he was shocked to find that the main force of the Xixia had made a huge and fatal mistake at some point. The tribal light cavalry actually squeezed together with the Song army's armored cavalry and light cavalry, and then engaged in direct hand-to-hand combat with the Song army's armored cavalry and light cavalry.

This means that when the Song cavalry gains the upper hand, the crowded formations of the Western Xia army will leave the entire army with no tactical space to properly evacuate... When the light cavalry loses its room for maneuver, it also loses its greatest tactical role, and is likely to lose its flexibility and retreat across the board.

Last night, Li Ganshun kept telling me why we had to fight this battle? After I decided to go to the front line myself, what message did I leave for Li Ganshun? Why did I choose to retreat just now?

After all, isn't it because of the mobility of the light cavalry that it can only be effective in the wild? This is the only advantage of the Xixia army facing such a well-disciplined army at this time!

But in the current situation, how should we deploy light cavalry to hunt down the Song army's armored cavalry?

"The Song army's armored cavalry didn't fall for it." A golden-armored warrior beside Weiming Anhui became a little anxious and pointed directly at Qu Duan's flag. "It should be Qu Da. Qu Da is leading this army personally. I'm afraid he has to go back."

Following the other party's pointing, Weiming Anhui took a look at the direction of Qu Duan's flag, and suddenly his face turned pale.

Before he could say anything, a tribal leader nearby made a judgment with a dark face: "He is not going back, he is going to turn around and attack our light cavalry from the outside."

As soon as these words came out, several knowledgeable golden-armored warriors and several tribal leaders were all pale. At this time, they had realized the problem just like Weiming An Hui, just as Qu Duan on the opposite side realized the problem... At this time, the Western Xia light cavalry and Zhuang Linglang were too crowded.

And once Qu Duan led these two thousand armored cavalry along the outer line, cutting through the Song army's formation and pushing northward, there would be no need to wait until someone could not hold on. This battle would probably result in a total defeat, with rivers of blood.

After hesitating for a moment, the gray-haired Weiming An Hui suddenly turned around and gave an order: "Follow me and charge back!"

The surrounding warriors, whether in gold or iron armor, were all shaken. Although they didn't know why, it was a fact that the light cavalry had abandoned their own strengths. Now the situation was already disadvantageous to them. If they went back at this time, what would happen if they failed?

But soon, the King of Liang gave a sufficient reason: "We only saw the big banner withdrawing from the front, but no one rushed back. I am afraid that the morale will be damaged. Moreover, the king is in the front, and we can't let Qu Da go there! On the contrary, if we can succeed in the first charge and defeat Zhang Jing, or capture Qu Da, we can retreat from this battle unscathed, and the Song army will not dare to continue marching."

The reasons are sufficient, but the same thing applies: what if we fail?

Because the safety of the king was the only concern, the golden-armored warriors beside the white ox banner were the first to respond. Many other tribal leaders and noble sons' leaders were speechless when they saw King Liang and the golden-armored warriors make the decision.

A moment later, the horn sounded again, and the White Bull Banner immediately turned back.

This time, this conspicuous large banner was thrust into the Song army's formation without hesitation. At this moment, on the Yinchuan Plain, the last decent fighting force of Western Xia was completely unrestrained and engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the well-equipped Song army.

The enemy was coming with great force. Zhang Jing no longer cared about any military orders and directly ordered his troops to stop marching northward and instead set up a battle formation on the spot to face Bai Niu Hu.
