Ten days have passed since Hengshan sent troops, and it is surprisingly quiet in Bianliang City, and everyone is waiting for the battle report from the front line.

No one knows how many years there has been no great good news at the border pass, and the arrogance in the bones of the people of the Great Song Dynasty and the richness of Kaifeng Mansion can't hide the deep loss.

Thinking back to Chen Qiaoyi back then, the yellow robe was inspected as the son of heaven, and Bianliang had a day of raising his eyebrows every few years.

reported, General Cao Bin swept away Hou Shu;

reported that General Pan Mei had destroyed the Southern Han Dynasty;

Report, me

The army broke through Jinyang, and the Northern Han Dynasty perished;

reported that Li Yu, the queen of the Southern Tang Dynasty, was captured...

However, at the beginning of Taizong, he was first defeated by Fayan and was chased and killed for hundreds of miles; The founding elite soldiers were destroyed in one fell swoop;

Then there were successive defeats, the Western Xia took advantage of the situation to rise, and the Khitan repeatedly went south...

The old and young of Kaifeng Mansion, when they encounter the generals who overwhelm the Hu people in the New Year's ceremony, they will shout and hug wildly, and they will be treated like heroes.

These long-suppressed prides, the pride that has nowhere to be placed, are in desperate need of a big victory to revive the morale of China.

Yang Lin walked the Privy Council again, and was told by Gao Yu that there was no war report, so he returned in a huff.

He learned about it through his own channels, and the carriage and horses of the Long Live Camp were likely to be faster than the Privy Council to get the news, but Yang Lin still did not give up.

The greater the hope, the more nervous it becomes, and no one who has not experienced it can understand this kind of apprehension.

Yang Lin clasped his hands together, clenched his fists on his chin, closed his eyes and pondered, considering every detail he could get.

Qin Long's people, the Han style and Tang Yun's emphasis on righteousness and light life are not slightly reduced, and he is not worried about the combat power of the Western Army at all.

With a deep feud in the sea of blood, a hundred years of grievances, it is impossible for the Western Army not to do its best.

Although Tong Guan knows the soldiers, is good at fighting advantageous battles, and does not make big mistakes, he already has the commanders of the Song generation who can be outstanding.

Tibetan...

Yang Lin suddenly opened his eyes, breathed a long sigh of relief, and prayed: "Tong Guan, you shouldn't be stupid enough to press the treasure on the alien race, this is just a foreign aid... Probably not, Tong Guan is not a stupid person. ”

At this time, under the Xingqing Mansion, the situation changed abruptly...

The suspension bridge of Xingqing Mansion slowly fell, and the city gate was wide open!

The war drums roared, the horn sounded, and the cavalry in black armor raised their spears, holding a shield in their left hand and a flat-ended spear in their right hand, the barrel of the gun was under the ribs, and the sharp tip of the spear pointed directly at the Song array.

The shields are all cowhide riding shields painted with the pattern of fierce beasts, and the red tasseled spear is made of bamboo as the handle, painted black, and the grip is wrapped with fine hemp silk, that is, light and tough, the sharp three-edged spear blade is one and a half feet long, and the blood groove is like a murderous aura.

On the city wall, Xia Chongzong Li Qianshun personally beat the war drums, and all the officials of Western Xia went to the city to supervise the battle.

Li Qianshun looked ruthless and said: "The Song people have been suppressed for a long time, encroaching on our country's land, killing my people, robbing my grain and grass, life and death in Great Xia, fight here!" ”

The old opponent who had not been seen for a long time finally showed his fangs, and the Xia army along the way was weak, and it was indeed disguised.

The soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty were all surprised, the Xia people had been beaten for so long, and as soon as they arrived at the Xingqing Mansion, they dared to go out of the city to fight.

Tong Guan's face in the distance was cloudy, and he kept asking, "Why haven't the Tubo people started fighting yet?" ”

The earth trembled, and the hoofs thundered.

The Tibetans finally arrived, but instead of attacking the east of the city as originally agreed, they rode horses and brandished swords and went straight to the Song army.

The smoke and dust were filled, the sky and the earth changed color, and under the fierce collision, people turned over on their backs, and the miserable screams were in the sky.

The Western Army deserves the title of a strong army, does not collapse in the face of change, and forms a formation to meet the enemy.

The Xia Thief and the Tubo were both cavalry, and the impact was extremely strong, and they advanced from both sides in a half-moon arc formation, driving the Great Song soldiers and horses out of the outskirts of the city.

Corpses are strewn all over the field, and they are all in shambles.

The Song army in front knew that they would die, so they did not retreat even half a step, and used their flesh and blood to win time and space for the brothers behind them to retreat.

The hot blood of Han'er once again penetrated the suburbs of Xingqing Mansion, and the grass and trees tasted the long-lost blood, and the army retreated ten miles, relying on the terrain to form a village again.

When the Song army besieged the city, the Tibetan people helped in the battle, who knew that when the battle was in full swing, the Tubo people would turn against each other!

No commander can easily give an order to withdraw his troops from the enemy's capital, and Tong Guan is no exception.

He looked like a red-eyed gambler, his eyes swept over the faces of the generals one by one, and said in a deep voice: "At this time, there is no other way, if you want to reverse the decline, you can only attack the city with all your strength!" ”

The seed master stood up suddenly, and said in disbelief: "Attack the city with all your might? Haven't you seen it yet? This thing was a scam from start to finish! The Xia thief and the Tubo have long colluded together, and the Tubo pretended to form an alliance and let us come to the Xingqing Mansion in order to completely annihilate the main force of our Western Army! ”

The reversal of the offensive and defensive momentum of the Western Xia and Song dynasties mainly started with the fortress tactics of the Zhejia.

The terrain in the northwest is desert and mountainous, and the mountains are blocked by the mountains between the various armies and theaters of the Western Army, and it is very difficult to support each other, and it is easy to be broken by the Western Xia army.

In order to shorten the reaction speed between the various armies, and to try to delay the speed and distance of the advance of the Western Xia army, the generals of the Western army created the "fortress" tactic.

At the beginning, after the Han village was robbed by the Western Xia army, the villagers would often build a camp outside the village as a hiding place for the Western Xia army to plunder, saving a little thing or a life, which was the prototype of the fortress.

Many villages have built similar walled cities, and once the war starts, these border people will also take weapons to help the Song army, not only to defend their relatives, but also to exchange the enemy's head for a little reward if they win the battle.

These walled cities were united to form a larger castle.

Later, there were more and more castles, several castles could rescue each other together, and then they were bold enough to repair in the territory of Western Xia, and repaired to the back, and began to build a large fortress, which could not only provide shelter for the people, but also had a military warehouse inside to supply the passing Song army, which greatly enhanced the mobility of the Western Army.

The Western Army has surrounded Western Xia for more than 90 years with this "fortress" technique, and now Western Xia has been forced to a dead end, and it will be eaten away in the past few decades.

Li Qianshun actually had such courage to buy Tubo to lure the main force of the Song army to Xingqing Mansion, using his own capital as bait to fight back and smash the last elite soldiers of the Song army.

If he succeeds in his trick, not only will the Western Military Commission be in charge, but the entire Great Song Dynasty will be in danger!

At this time, the situation had become clear, the siege equipment of the Great Song Dynasty had not yet arrived, and the grain and grass were only enough for half a month's food.

The generals in the tent had different expressions, and at this time, a military general who had just been able to enter the account, Splash Han Wu Han Shizhong suddenly said loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, the summer thieves are rampant and set up this poisonous scheme, and they must have thought that we would run away." I'm afraid that their main force has long been ambushed on the road along the way, why don't we take the opportunity to attack Xingqing Mansion, as if they were retreating and being chased and beaten. After defeating Xingqing Mansion, all the tricks of the thief Xia Niao are not all jokes. ”
