Li Daocheng suddenly heard the chaos in the Guan, and hurriedly turned his head to look behind him, only to see that the soldiers in the Guancheng had fallen to the ground at this time. After looking carefully, I found that on the cliffs on the north and south sides of the Guancheng, I don't know when there were many troops of the Great Song Kingdom, and those soldiers were throwing bamboo spears into the Guancheng, some used crossbows to shoot bamboo spears, and some used bows and arrows to shoot feather arrows downward.

There was now chaos in the city, and many soldiers had been shot with bamboo spears and feather arrows, either dead or wounded, and there was a terrible howl. On the top of the cliff, some people tied up the dried small bamboo branches and leaves, then set them on fire and threw them down from above, igniting the tents and barracks where the Hu soldiers lived in Guancheng.

More than 30,000 people are stationed in the pass, and the barracks and tents occupy a large area, and the goal is huge. The 30,000 men were also scattered all over the pass, each busy with his own work, guarding the city, carrying and transporting, and preparing for war. Now they have all become live targets. On the top of the cliff, the soldiers of the Great Song Kingdom, condescending, occupy a favorable location, under the command of Xiao Ding and Luo Simao, they cast bamboo spears and feather arrows downward, which is handy.

Xiao Ding led his troops to station on the cliff on the north side of Luoshui Pass, and Luo Simao led his troops to station on the cliff on the south side of Luoshui Pass. After the two heard the letter cannon issued by Gao Wanjun, they were already ready to attack. When they saw that the army of the Great Song Kingdom had begun to officially attack the fortifications, the two of them ordered their soldiers to start acting at the same time. So, the two teams of soldiers echoed each other from afar on the top of the cliff, and according to the prior plan, they threw bamboo spears and feather arrows towards the pass.

At the same time, when Xiao Ding saw the many barracks and tents in the Guannei, he remembered the trick of setting fire, so he ordered his subordinates to tie up the small bamboo branches and bamboo leaves that were cut down yesterday and set them on fire, and then threw them into the barracks and tents of the Hu people in the Guannai.

Sure enough, the effect of this arson plan was very significant, and after a while, the tent of the Hu people burned.

When Luo Simao saw that Xiao Ding sent someone to set the fire, he was not far behind, and also ordered his soldiers to start setting fires like the soldiers on the opposite cliff.

As a result, the fire broke out in the city, and the soldiers in the city immediately became chaotic. They want to put out the fire, but they also need to dodge the bamboo spears and cold arrows thrown from above. The bamboo spears and feather arrows on the cliffs on both sides of the mountain are very well prepared. It rained like rain from the top of the cliff, leaving the soldiers in the castle with nowhere to hide.

Li Daocheng saw this situation in the pass, and his soldiers suffered heavy losses, knowing that this Luoshui Pass could not be held today. I couldn't help but be angry, my heart hurt, and a mouthful of blood spurted out. The guard beside him hurriedly stretched out his hand to support Li Daocheng's swaying body, and shouted repeatedly: "His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness, what's wrong with you?" ”

Mao Yanshun, the military advisor on the side, glanced at the Great Song army that was about to rush in front of the pass, and then looked at the barracks and tents that had been set fire in the pass, as well as the casualties and soldiers who were staggering. He sighed and said, "The eldest prince, I think we can't hold this Luoshui Pass today, let's withdraw to Hexi as soon as possible!" ”

On the west side of Luoshui Pass are the Helan Mountains and the Yellow River. When Mao Yanshun said Hexi, he meant the west of the Yellow River. As we all know, the Yellow River as a whole flows in a zigzag direction. The location where Luoshui Pass is located is the section of the Yellow River that flows from south to north.

What Mao Yanshun thought was that Luoshui Pass would not be able to hold it today anyway, so it was better to return to the Great Xia Kingdom as soon as possible. Retreating to the west of the Yellow River, the Yellow River became a natural barrier, and even if the army of the Great Song Kingdom continued to pursue, it would be blocked by the Yellow River at that time.

Although Li Daocheng is unwilling, but the reality is in front of him, if he does not retreat now and fights to the end, it is estimated that the 30,000 or so people under his command will all be buried in Luoshui Pass, and it is unknown whether he can go back alive. Therefore, he only thought about it for a moment, and then gave the order with a trembling: "All abandon the pass and retreat!" ”

At this time, Gao Wanjun had already commanded the soldiers to attack the front of the pass, and the soldiers were slamming the gate of the gate of the gate with a rushing car and a wooden bar.

Originally, the soldiers defending the city still had the heart to resist, but later saw that there was a fire in the pass, and the bamboo spear was thrown down from time to time on the top of the cliff, maybe if you didn't pay attention, you would be shot by the bamboo spear. Therefore, they have already lost their morale, and where can they continue to resist the siege army!

Hearing Li Daocheng's retreat order, the Hu soldiers all gave up resistance, opened the city gate on the west side of Luoshui Pass, and poured out of the city like a tide.

Li Daocheng, Mao Yanshun, Li Wantong and others also withdrew from Luoshui Pass under the escort of several military generals of the Great Xia Kingdom.

After Gao Wanjun led his troops to break into the Luoshui Pass, he found that the fire in the gate city could not be extinguished. The barracks and tents in the pass have long been connected to a sea of fire, and the only thing that can be done now is to watch these barracks and tents burn to the ground. Finally, extinguish the embers.

Just as Gao Wanjun was about to give an order to keep the soldiers away from the fire and wait for it to burn out, he suddenly saw large pieces of snow fall from the cliff on the north side, as well as some broken snow. They all went towards the sea of fire.

Of course, Gao Wanjun knew that it was Xiao Ding who asked the soldiers to push the snow down from the cliff to extinguish the fire. I can't help but secretly praise in my heart, this big young man is really smart!

When he saw the soldiers on the opposite cliff pushing snow down to extinguish the fire, he ordered his soldiers to do the same. As a result, the sea of fire, which was still burning vigorously, was instantly suppressed by a large amount of snow.

When Gao Wanjun saw it, he also hurriedly ordered his soldiers to cooperate and use the snow in the city to extinguish the fire.

Finally, the fire, thanks to the efforts of many soldiers, was finally completely extinguished.

Xiao Ding and Luo Simao also led the soldiers to climb down the cliff and stationed in the pass.

In Luoshui Pass, although it was burned badly by a fire, fortunately, the Commander's Mansion was not affected. Gao Wanjun instructed the soldiers to clean up the battlefield, burn the corpses, and do a good job of cleaning up the aftermath. Then she walked into the hall of the Shuai Mansion.

After occupying Luoshui Pass, it means that all the invading troops of the Great Xia Kingdom have been expelled from the border of the Great Song Kingdom, and the war has been completely won. Whether or not to lead the troops to continue the offensive in the next step needs to be reported to the imperial court, and the imperial court will decide.

Therefore, Gao Wanjun immediately wrote a battle report and official documents, wrote down the front-line battle in detail one by one, and sent someone to Dingbian City to report to the supervising army Ji Gonggong, and at the same time, he also sent someone to send a copy of the battle report and official document to the imperial court.

In this attack, the army of the Great Song Kingdom suffered very few losses, only a few hundred casualties, and they were killed by the bow and arrow of the Hu people during the siege. Most of the dead bodies in the pass were Hu people.

There were more than 30,000 soldiers in the Great Xia army in Luoshui Pass, and after this battle, they lost more than half of them. Li Daocheng led the remnants of the defeated army to retreat to the west of the Yellow River, and since then he has been ill for a long time.

The military advisor Mao Yanshun and the national advisor Li Wantong hurriedly sent an official letter to the emperor of the Great Xia Kingdom, explaining the situation on the front line and Li Daocheng's illness. After reading the official document, the emperor of the Great Xia Kingdom sighed, and immediately wrote a letter of peace to the court of the Great Song Kingdom, and sent someone to send it to the capital of the Great Xia Kingdom......
