After the Tianxiang army led by Lu Chengyu arrived at Tongwan City, the south gate had been recaptured by Grandpa Huo.

Tianxiangjun entered the city from the south gate, and Lu Chengyu asked about the situation; Liu Min said solemnly: "We entered the city in the name of epidemic prevention and control, otherwise we would not be able to enter the city!" ”

Lu Chengyu let out an "oh", admiring Liu Min for being clever.

Liu Min said with a smile that Lu Chengyu won the award, saying that Li Jiqian is really a little capable; After discovering that the people in Tongwan City were infected with the epidemic, they were immediately quarantined, and the streets and alleys of the eighteen corners of Hutong were full of quarantined people; We are carrying out treatment over there, and the fire grandfather on the side of the south city gate was seen by Li Jiqian; Two of them fought in a row.

Lu Chengyu saw that Liu Min was serious, and said a little uncalmly: "Now that there is no trace of Li Thief, are we going to search the city!" ”

Liu Min cleared his throat and calmed down: "Li Jiqian didn't make a profit just now, so he retreated; If you search the city, you will fall into his trap! ”

After Liu Min said this, he frowned thoughtfully and said: "Xiazhou City is the city of Tongwan, and the city wall is impregnable; If we hadn't come in in the name of epidemic prevention and control, there would have been no way to attack! ”

Lu Chengyu turned his head in a big circle in the Lang Pavilion and said: "Before, Tian Renlang and Li Jilong led a large army to surround Tongwan City and attack Xunyue, but they didn't take it, but now that we have entered the city; It's better to burn down the city with a fire and completely put an end to the Li thief from making waves in the Northland! ”

Liu Min was stunned, glanced at Lu Chengyu and said happily: "Brother Pony has made great progress!" Toshiko had long had the idea of burning down the city, but considering the innocent people in the city; There is no selling the name of the overlord ......"

Before he could finish speaking, he saw Kan Lang and Guo Yuquan rushing over to report; It was said that the gate of the west city was wide open, and a large number of heavy cavalry gathered over there.

"West Gate! Heavy cavalry! Liu Min groaned lightly: "This is Li Jiqian's iron harrier!" Such a thief wants to escape? ”

Liu Min asked and answered himself, and asked Hongyun and Luxing to take out the map they carried.

Hongyun and Luxing hurriedly took out the military map drawn by Liu Min when he was in Bianjing from their backpacks.

Liu Min looked intently and saw that the Tongwan City marked on the map was Huaizhou, Jingzhou, and Shunzhou to the west, and then across the Yellow River to the west was Liangzhou, Ganzhou, and Suzhou in the Hexi Corridor.

Liu Min stared at the map and muttered to himself: "Li Jiqian doesn't want to entangle with us and wants to escape, it seems that this guy is really long-sighted, and he knows that Taoguang is obscure and endures humiliation!" ”

Liu Min said and looked at Lu Chengyu and said, "Li Jiqian wants to escape, what is Brother Ma's opinion?" ”

Lu Chengyu looked embarrassed, all the ideas along the way were Liu Min's ideas; Lu Chengyu is nominally an envoy to the west, but it can only be said that the maid took the key to power and did not belong to the family.

Now that Li Jiqian is about to escape, Liu Min asks him what he thinks; Lu Chengyu groaned for a while and suddenly said, "Pursuit!" When we left the capital, we asked for a holy order to kill Li Jiqian in the north; Doesn't he lead the heavy cavalry to flee and give us a chance to use our hands? ”

"Brother Pony speaks well!" Liu Min clapped his hands and applauded, glanced at Lu Chengyu and said, "Brother Ma has already left the school!" This is called learning to fight with war. The two battles of Yanmen Pass and Xianghechuan have improved the strategic and tactical awareness of Brother Concubine, which is gratifying! ”

Liu Min seems to think that he is a strategist or a tactician when he says such a thing? There is no doubt that Liu Min has undergone seven difficulties in Xuanji Cave; entered the Qijin Courtyard again to familiarize herself with the art of war formation, and it is not an exaggeration to describe her as a strategist and tactician.

If you compare Liu Min's strategic and tactical vision with Lu Chengyu, it can only be said that the ratio of teachers to students is not at the same level at all.

Lu Chengyu knew that his skills were not as good as others, so he was very humble; The marching plan along the way was all set by Liu Min, and he honestly implemented it.

At this time, Lu Chengyu took an idea, and was praised by Liu Min, and his heart was naturally happy.

Liu Min spoke to Lu Chengyu, put his hand on the unfolded map and pointed: "Li Jiqian fled westward with his heavy armored cavalry, the Iron Harrier, which means that he has already drawn up a new stronghold; Toshiko analyzed that the new stronghold selected by Li Jiqian was Liangzhou, which is located at the eastern end of the Hexi Corridor and is a channel connecting the Western Regions and the Central Plains; Once Li Jiqian consolidated Liangzhou, he would definitely establish a state there, and the Great Song Dynasty would be attacked in the west and north; It's hard to imagine how sad the days are! ”

Weng Tongxiao, who had rarely spoken, interjected: "Then let's organize the army to pursue Li Jiqian and his iron harrier!" ”

Liu Min pondered for a moment and said: "The Iron Harrier is a heavy armored cavalry, if we fight hard, we may not be opponents!" If you want to win, you have to use tactics to annihilate in one fell swoop. ”

After Liu Min finished speaking, he sighed and said: "Li Jiqian's escape this time is not only with the Iron Harrier, but also with the two special forces of Bubazi and Poxi Army!" ”

Liu Min said this, and asked Kan Lang and Guo Yuquan to continue to investigate the enemy; Gather the officers above the captain of the Tianxiang Military Academy to introduce the basic situation of the Iron Harrier.

Iron Harrier is a famous cavalry trained by Li Jiqian, with a number of about 3,000; The men and horses are all heavily armoured.

The iron harrier is divided into ten teams, each team of 300 people, the team has a captain, the captain of the ten teams is: a sister, two waves of false encounters, three fine rewarders buried, four slaves, five miscellaneous ripe Qu Ze dove, six Kuma Cai Langluo, seven fine mother Qu Be, eight Li Yan Yan Yan name, nine fine mother Wei name, ten no Luo buried cloth.

In addition to serving as Li Jiqian's palace guard, Iron Harrier is also the front army that charges into battle.

The Iron Harrier cavalry was well-equipped, and could not penetrate with good horses, heavy armor, and stabs, and was twisted with hooks and ropes, although they did not fall on a dead horse.

When the iron harrier encounters a battle, it will first go out of the iron cavalry to break into the formation, and the chaos will impact it; The infantry marched on horseback.

Before the appearance of the Mongolian iron cavalry, the Iron Harrier was the most ferocious cavalry in the world; It is also a nightmare for all party enemies.

The selection method of the Iron Harrier is basically hereditary, and the father's armor is passed on to the son; The son's armor was passed on to his grandson, and the inheritance of his ancestors from generation to generation created the martial arts that flowed in the blood.

The iron harrier walks for a hundred miles, thousands of miles and periods, and is the most able to come and go suddenly, if the electric shock clouds fly. The first grab

Whenever they encounter an enemy in the place where they gallop on the plains, they often use iron harriers to think that they are rushing soldiers.

Iron Harriers mostly use fish scale formations in combat, which is a wolf pack tactic; Jian'er is a formation in which squads gather one by one and then rush towards the opponent's defensive formation.

The rules for rewards and punishments were very detailed, and the army was divided into fifteen ranks.

The main content of the reward is that those who kill more than one enemy in battle can be rewarded. Many are killed, and many are rewarded. But if he kills an enemy and is defeated again, he cannot be rewarded. Those who capture more than 100 pieces of enemy soldiers, horses, armor, flags, drums, and gold will be rewarded, and the more captured, the greater the reward, including the capture of enemy women and children.

In siege battles, climb the enemy's city head first, and break the city; Those who can resist the enemy after their own army defeats the battle, so that the whole army can retreat safely; Those who falsely report the number of captures and kills are able to expose the report; "Yu people" lead the way meritorious people; The general loses the battle, but his guards and men can defeat the enemy's front; Those who defeat the enemy's front and defeat the enemy. The method of reward is according to the loss of people, horses, armor, flags, drums, gold, etc. in the war, after the merit and crime are offset, the merit exceeds the crime, and the reward is divided into grades, some are added to the official, and some are rewarded with different amounts of gold and silver bowls, gold and silver belts, clothes, saddle sheaths, tea silks, etc., as well as honorary titles.

The main contents of punishment are: those who do not dare to flee in battle; Defeat the fighter in battle; Those who do not march, fight, or rendezvous at the prescribed time and place; those who do not help each other in war; Those who have lost their own men, horses, armor, flags, drums, and gold in wars, and the number exceeds a certain limit; Those who falsely report the number of captures, kills, and the purchase and sale of the first rank; Those who engage in favoritism or malpractice or lax inspection, resulting in false reports; Conversely, those who make false accusations will also be convicted; In battle, when the main general is killed, or when the flag, drum, or gold is lost, the guards, leaders, escorts, and personal retinues of the department must be severely punished; During the battle, the Chacha army left the main general without authorization, and did not understand the war. The means of punishment were: death, imprisonment for life, hard labor, cane and tattooing, seizure of military power, reduction or dismissal of officials, fines for horses, etc.

Liu Min told the officers and officers of the Tianxiang Army about the situation of the Iron Harrier he mastered, and said calmly: "Liu Min estimates that the target of Li Jiqian's nest is Liangzhou, so we must adopt a two-pronged strategy and tactics!" ”

Zhao Yuanzuo knew a little about the Tielin Army of the Khitan people of Liao, but he knew very little about the Iron Harrier; As soon as Liu Min introduced this, he suddenly said: "Little sister Minzi, let's talk about how we deal with Li Jiqian's iron harrier?" What is the two-pronged approach? ”

Liu Min pointed to the map unabashedly: "There is a big mountain called Helan Mountain on the road from Tongwancheng to Liangzhou, and the main force of the Tianxiang army led by Brother Ma made a detour; An ambush was carried out in the valley, if Li Jiqian's iron harrier passed through the mountains; Subdue with our army's spears and hooks, the Iron Harrier will definitely be greatly damaged! ”

Lu Chengyu laughed and said, "Little sister is really a living immortal!" You made weapons in the capital, there were two more hooks on both sides of the spear, Lu didn't understand, and now it seems that Lu is really lonely and unheard! If it is used to hook the spear and hook the iron harrier, it is not a hook and an accurate! ”

Liu Min smiled wryly, pointed to the map and said: "Li Jiqian led the Iron Harrier to set off from the West Gate, and Brother Ma can lead the Tianxiang Army out of the South Gate and go straight south; After walking for dozens of miles, and then inserting it to the west, the mountain range you see is Helan Mountain; Helan Mountain is a north-south mountain, and Brother Ma chooses a place to ambush, and he will be able to defeat the Iron Harrier with a spear hook gun! ”

Lu Chengyu said goodbye to Liu Min, and Weng Tongxiao led the main force of the Tianxiang Army out of the south gate and drove westward, Zhao Yuanzuo was a little anxious, and asked Liu Min why he didn't let him go with his sister-in-law.

Liu Min pondered for a moment, looked at Zhao Yuanzuo and said, "Brother Chong didn't see Pan Luozhi of the Six Divisions of Tubo when he was the prince in Tokyo!" ”

Zhao Yuanzuo was stunned, his eyes rolled in the sockets, patted his head and laughed: "Xiaosheng remembers, that year, I saw a young man from Liangzhou; So his name is Pan Roch? Zhao Yuanzuo looked at Liu Min and asked.

Liu Min sneered: "Brother Chong has seen Pan Luozhi and doesn't know people's names, what a ridiculous prince!" ”

After a pause, he raised his arm and said: "There is Ding Weiqing of the Great Song Zhizhou in that place in Liangzhou, but it is Pan Luozhi who can really solve the problem!" ”

After Liu Minsu finished chattering, he took a few steps closer to Zhao Yuanzuo and said: "Minzi wants to go directly to Liangzhou with Brother Chong, Little Sister Huyan, Old General Huyan, as well as Grandpa Huo and Hongyun, to meet Pan Luozhi and annihilate Li Jiqian together!" ”

Zhao Yuanzuo stared at Liu Min and said bluntly: "Little sister sent Sister Ma to ambush Li Jiqian and Iron Harrier, how can I ......?"

"Sister Pony can annihilate part of the Iron Harrier, but it is impossible to destroy all of them!" Liu Min said excitedly: "After Li Jiqian escapes his bad luck, he will rush to Liangzhou to do something, and Brother Chong and Minzi will go to Liangzhou to meet Pan Luozhi first; Kill Li Jiqian in Liangzhou ......"

Liu Min really got into trouble, and the Tianxiang army led by Lu Chengyu and Weng Tongxiao defeated Li Jiqian's Iron Harrier in Helan Mountain; But Li Jiqian was as fine as a monkey, and he actually led half of his men and horses to flee to Liangzhou Mansion.

When Li Jiqian fled to Liangzhou Mansion, Liu Min and Zhao Yuanzuo and his entourage had already talked to him in the palace tent of Pan Luozhi.

Pan Luozhi was the commander of the six tribes of Tubo, and Tubo was in full swing during the Sui and Tang dynasties; Even Datang has to give him three points.

However, during the confrontation between the Song and Liao states, the Tibetan Dynasty had already collapsed, and the Tibetan regime that remained in the northwest barely maintained the situation of tribal alliance.

But the Tubo people occupy the throat of the Hexi Corridor, and there are countless fine war horses; Mastering the advanced smelting technology from the Western Regions, the weapons they created made the party warriors salivate.

In Li Jiqian's eyes, such a Tubo is like a dying sick tiger, how can he easily let it go? Li Jiqian waited for a suitable time and excuse.

Pan Luozhi, the leader of the Tibetan people, sent envoys to Tokyo again and again, repeatedly lobbying the importance of the Great Song Dynasty and the Tubo army to fight the party together; Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty issued an order to reward Pan Luozhi, canonize him as the envoy of the Shuofang Army, and presented a large number of weapons and equipment to Tubo.

Unexpectedly, the edict and equipment of the emperor of the Song Dynasty were sniped by the party cavalry on the way; All fell into the hands of Li Jiqian.

Seeing the edict of the Song Dynasty, Li Jiqian was furious; Is there a better excuse than that? He quickly assembled a large army, and the sword pointed directly at Liangzhou.

But at this time, the epidemic in the north broke out, and Li Jiqian did not act rashly; However, Tongwancheng was attacked by the Song army, and Li Jiqian took the opportunity to lead the army to flee west; Although he was ambushed in Helan Mountain and lost hundreds of iron harriers, Li Jiqian's determination to capture Liangzhou and establish the Great Xia Kingdom was stronger.

Liu Min and Zhao Yuanzuo analyzed Li Jiqian's true intentions to come to Liangzhou to Pan Luozhi, and suggested that Pan Luozhi adopt a trick to cause Li Jiqian to die.

Pan Luozhi wrote a letter of allegiance to Li Jiqian, "Heng Mei coldly pointed at Qianfu, bowed his head and was willing to be a son of a cow".

Li Jiqian laughed smugly after seeing it, but Zhang Pu advised Li Jiqian to be careful; so as not to fall for the tricks of the Tibetans.

Li Jiqian played tricks for half his life, and the success of defrauding the Song general Cao Guangshi made him not believe that Pan Luozhi would defeat him.

Pan Luozhi in Li Jiqian's mind has long been in internal and external difficulties and at the end of the road, how can he be deceitful? Zhang Pu couldn't stop admonishing, but he could only cry out in vain.

When it came to the agreed day of surrender, Li Jiqian took his relatives with him; Swaggering to the place of surrender, he was greeted by a storm of arrows.

Although the soldiers desperately resisted, Li Jiqian was still hit by several arrows; A generation of heroes died in this way on the land of Liangzhou, where he tried to establish the Great Xia Kingdom......
