There were more than 40,000 soldiers on both sides fighting, and this was definitely a shocking battle. But the end of this battle was beyond the expectations of all the Lizhou East Route Army.

With the arrival of the infantry in the Tianxiong and Tianmeng armies, less than half an hour later, the Lizhou East Route Army was defeated.

Countless Lizhou East Route Army scattered and fled.

Although the commander of the East Road of Nali Prefecture moved the command center to the back of the large array, he was still not spared.

Under the charge of the Great Song Iron Cavalry, he could not avoid it, and finally died in the chaos.

The Great Song Iron Cavalry took advantage of the victory to pursue, and along the way, the Lizhou East Route Army, which knelt on the ground and begged to surrender, spread several miles away.

In the end, only a few soldiers were able to escape.

And until this time, in front of Qu Rujian's military camp, the infantry in his forbidden army and Li Zhengqin's command had not been able to completely destroy those Lintao troops.

Over there, the cavalry under Helian City, the cavalry under Qu Rujian, and the Qi Tian army were still pursuing the retreating Lintao army, and they had left the camp for more than ten miles.

Of course, the Lintao army had already suffered casualties by this time.

They retreated in a hurry, and they could not escape the pursuit of the cavalry of the Western Xia Forbidden Army and the Qi Tian Army in the sky.

The general trend has been set.

The Great Song Dynasty Forbidden Army did not make much effort to defeat the Lizhou East Route Army, and until the end of the battle, the forbidden army was still alive and well.

They didn't kill them.

There were cavalry who gathered these soldiers together. Others began to clean up the battlefield.

Everything seems to be in order.

This is the old soldier of the battlefield.

In many cases, they don't even need to be told by their generals to know what they should do next. This is like the difference between a girl who has just come out of the cabinet and a housewife who has been a wife for many years.

After that, Zheng Yihang and Du Hu led the soldiers to rush to Qu Rujian's military camp.

Until this time, there were still about two hours before dawn.

When they arrived at Qu Rujian's military camp, the battle between Li Zhengqin's department, Qu Rujian's department and Lintao's army outside the military camp was over.

The cavalry that had gone out of the camp to pursue had not yet returned.

Qu Rujian and Li Zhengqin are organizing soldiers to clean up the battlefield.

Those begging Lintao soldiers have been slaughtered outside the camp by them. Just like he did with Feng Xiangjun, he didn't leave a living mouth.

Seeing Du Hu and Zheng Yihang leading the army forward, Qu Rujian unexpectedly showed a look of shock.

When the Great Song Dynasty forbidden army came out of the camp, he knew. I never dared to think that the Great Song Forbidden Army would be able to annihilate the Lizhou East Route Army in such a short period of time.

Rao saw that the forbidden army of the Great Song Dynasty was escorting a lot of soldiers on the East Lizhou Road, and when Du Hu, Zheng Yihang and others arrived in front of him, Qu Rujian still couldn't help asking: "Commander Du, Commander Zheng, Mo Feizhou East Road has been defeated by you?" ”

Among the four defenders of Fengxiang, Lintao, Lizhou West Road, and Lizhou East Road, the strength of the Lizhou East Route Army is the strongest, and he knows this.

He asked himself, if he was facing the Lizhou East Route Army, he was afraid that by this time, the fight would still not end.

Du Hu and Zheng Yihang could hear the shock in Qu Rujian's words, and they couldn't help but smile a little proudly on their faces.

The combat effectiveness of the Great Song Forbidden Army can not be compared with the current Western Xia Forbidden Army.

Zheng Yihang said: "The Lizhou East Route Army is not Erer, and under the iron cavalry under the command of me and Commander Du, there is no power to fight back at all. Their commanders died in the midst of the chaos. Except for a few who fled, countless people were killed in the army. The rest of them have been taken here by us. ”

As he spoke, he looked at the Lizhou East Route Army that was escorted behind, and said, "General Qu will arrange for the soldiers to come over and take over these soldiers!" ”

He didn't ask Qu Rujian what he planned to do with these pawns. Because this is completely unrelated to the forbidden army of the Great Song Dynasty.

The task of their trip was only to help the Western Xia Forbidden Army pacify the Lizhou East Road and other troops. Except for the war, the two of them had no intention of interfering in the rest of the matter.

Qu Rujian nodded again and again after being shocked, "There are two military commanders, so I will arrange for someone to take over these soldiers." The two commanders waited. ”

In fact, he has not dealt with Zheng Yihang and Du Hu. I can tell the two of them only because I have seen their portraits, but at this moment, the words are quite respectful.

This is undoubtedly influenced by the strength of the Great Song Dynasty's forbidden army.

Although Qu Rujian was a fierce general in Western Xia, he also knew that the Great Song Forbidden Army was bound to be much more powerful. Of course, I admire these Great Song generals in my heart.

After a short time, a forbidden army was ordered to come and take over the soldiers.

After Du Hu and Zheng Yihang handed over the soldiers to the Western Xia Forbidden Army, they directly resigned to Qu Rujian and led the army to the barracks.

Now that the big thing has come to pass, they have no intention of staying here any longer. Instead of staying here, it is better to take the soldiers to rest in the barracks.

The defenders of Lizhou East Road and Fengxiang and Lintao did not all come here, and they still had things to do to help Li Xiushu pacify these roads.

Moreover, even if the defenders who left in the territory of Lizhou East Road and other places completely collapsed. The tasks of Zheng Yihang and Du Hu cannot be said to be over.

They still need to kill to Tongchuan Fu Road.

The previous scout temptations weren't just for show.

Zhao Dongting really has plans to destroy the New Song Dynasty, and it can be said that he has reached a consensus with Li Xiushu.

The two countries worked together to destroy the New Song Dynasty.

Otherwise, Zhao Dongting would not have been able to agree to Li Xiushu so easily to help her destroy the Lizhou East Route Army.

The benefits are mutual. This is exactly the case between countries.

Zhao Dongting will not mix too much personal feelings with state affairs.

About half an hour later, Helian Cheng led the cavalry of the forbidden army and the Qi Tian army back to the barracks. The officers and men in the army were all in good spirits, and they obviously returned home with a great victory.

The main general of Lintao Road also failed to escape to heaven and was beheaded in the chaos.

After this battle, the defenders of Fengxiang, Lintao and Lizhou East Road to the frontier were all wiped out.

Those soldiers of the Lizhou East Road who were captured by the Great Song Dynasty Forbidden Army did not survive, and in the end, they were all ordered to be killed by Helian Cheng and Qu Rujian.

When the morning sun shines on the earth, the banks of the Jialing River are full of corpses.

Fengxiang, Lintao and Lizhou East Road totaled nearly 70,000 soldiers, with countless casualties.

All they left in the territory were the defenders of the cities. Those soldiers can't be drawn out.

And it was only at this time that the personal guards of the main general of Lintao Road finally ran to Tongchuan Mansion in panic.

They were stopped outside the gates.

The leader of the guards shouted to the city: "We are the soldiers of Lintao in the Western Xia, and we want to see the new Song generals in the city!" If there is an important announcement, please pass it on! ”

His face was full of eagerness.

All night, he and the dozens of people under his command didn't have much rest. That is, when the war horse can't stand up, he only rests for a while, but people are always holding on.

He knew that the army was in danger of being destroyed at any moment.

Of course, he obviously couldn't imagine that the Lintao army was now completely annihilated. Otherwise, he wouldn't have made such an effort again.

The Lintao army was completely annihilated, and his future was worrying. Instead of continuing to inform the new Song army in Tongchuan Prefecture, it is better to disarm and go into hiding.

The new Song army at the head of the city was quite surprised.

They didn't know that the envoy of the Western Xia Lintao Festival was actually a member of the New Song Dynasty. And between the Western Xia and the New Song Dynasty, it was not harmonious.

They just thought, what are these Western Xia troops who look embarrassed suddenly running over?

However, the general of the city still ordered the soldiers to go to the government office in the city to report the news.

To see or not to see, that's the marshal's business.

They only had to block all these dozens of Western Xia troops outside the city before the marshal gave the order.

Some soldiers went down to the city, and then hurriedly galloped towards the Tongchuan Mansion.

In the palace, the envoy of the new Song Dynasty Tongchuan Mansion Road and the deputy palace master of the new Song Dynasty and the deputy palace master of the Guigu are playing against each other.

The deputy palace master of Guigu looked calm, and the festival often needed to be considered for a long time. The two of them are very good at chess, and they really don't need to bother to judge.

Just look at the expressions of the two of them.

After passing through the layers of guards, the soldiers finally arrived in the main hall, immediately knelt down, and said to the deputy palace master of Guigu: "Marshal, there are dozens of Western Xia Lintao troops outside the city who want to see you. ”

The hand of Luozi, the deputy palace master of Guigu, hung in the air.

The envoy of Tongchuan Mansion Road Jiedu also looked at this soldier.

He looked to be in his fifties, and he had the air of a scholarly elegance. Even if you are not a person from the Guigu Academy, your knowledge must not be shallow.

Otherwise, he would not be able to play against someone like the deputy palace master of Guigu, even if his chess strength is at an absolute disadvantage.
