…

The battle between the Xia army and Ren Dejing's rebels was very fierce.

This was something that neither side had thought of before the war.

In other words, this is also normal, as soon as the war starts, the direction is often up to no one, and it can only depend on the situation.

I won't go into too much detail about the specific process.

Although the Xia army was half less than Ren Dejing's rebels, it was still a turning point, but because the Xia army was a mourning army, in the end, the Xia army defeated Ren Dejing's rebels by a slight advantage.

Ren Dejing, who never thought that he would lose, was not prepared to lose, but was covered by the army led by Richard for more than 20 miles, and there were rivers of blood along the way.

After this defeat, Ren Dejing, who lost most of his money, had to lead the remnants of the army to leave Xiazhou, and then withdraw to Yingli in the west.

On the other hand, although the Xia army was the victorious side, because the battle was too tragic and the Xia army was originally small, as a result, Richard did not chase Ren Dejing relentlessly - after driving Ren Dejing's rebels out of Xiazhou, Richard gathered his troops, and then wanted to lick his wounds secretly!

And yet—

The world is unpredictable!

At this time, the Western Xia court sent a letter of help to Brother Richard - Li Renxiao said in the letter that Wu Jue had personally led a large army to the west and came directly to Xingqing Mansion, so that Brother Richard would immediately lead the army back to King Qin......

……

At the same time, Ren Dejing, who was preparing to lead the remnants of the army to Xiliang, also received news that Zhang Xian's department of the Chinese army had just defeated Liangzhou Mansion, and they couldn't go to Liangzhou Mansion!

Ren Dejing was shocked, and hurriedly found the person who reported the news, and asked what was going on in person?

After the messenger saw Ren Dejing, he told Ren Dejing what happened not long ago.

It turns out -

Just when Wu Jue led a large army to attack the Hengshan area, Zhang Xian also led the army of Longyou out of Longyou to the city of Wura.

Soon after, Zhang Xian divided the army of Longyou into two routes, east and west, and ordered Li Congyi to lead the army of the East Route to capture Heishui City, and then marched into Helan Mountain in a roundabout way, defeating the Xia army that was not enough to defend the army, and finally the Tun army was not enough to go to the mountain, and he himself led the army of the West Route to take advantage of the Uighurs in Xizhou, and successively captured Shazhou, Suzhou and Ganzhou - in the siege of Ganzhou, the Western Route Army was also met with stubborn resistance from the defenders, and finally Zhang Xian himself went into battle to capture.

Soon after, Zhang Xian personally led a large army to Liangzhou Mansion, and Wang Zhi, a close confidant of Ren Dejing, the guard general of Liangzhou Mansion, saw that the Chinese army was under dark clouds, did not dare to resist, and abandoned the city and surrendered.

At this point, the Hexi Corridor has all fallen.

……

Actually-

From the very beginning, on the side of Dazhong, it can also be said that Wu Jue, the commander-in-chief of this battle, did not plan to recover Western Xia in the way of talking - it is useful to talk, what do you want these generals to do?

Therefore, while paralyzing Li Renxiao and Ren Dejing, Wu Jue secretly ordered Zhang Xian to take advantage of the emptiness in the northwest of Western Xia to attack from west to east, with the purpose of first seizing the Hexi Corridor, and then advancing eastward, and then attacking Western Xia left and right with Wu Jue, and defeating Western Xia in a battle.

In other words, in fact, since the Chinese army fought Hengshan, the end of the Western Xia has been doomed.

As for the battle between the Xia army and the Ren Dejing rebels, it was a complete windfall.

……

Before Wu Jue led the army westward, he sent Yang Zaixing to lead the first battalion of the world and Zhe Kecun to lead the elite of the Zhe family to attack Xingqing Mansion.

The light cavalry led by Yang and Zhe did arrive at Xingqing Mansion one step ahead of Brother Richard.

But Li Renxiao had been prepared for this for a long time, and he organized the people of Xingqing Mansion to close the city gates and all go to the city wall to resist.

This made Yang Zaixing and Zhe Kecun, who were all cavalry, unable to watch the loss of the fighters.

Soon, the army led by Wu Jue and the army led by Brother Li almost reached the city of Xingqing Mansion.

Li Renxiao sent an envoy to question Wu Jue, why did he tear up the covenant and attack Western Xia for no reason?

Wu Jue directly kicked the ball to the court and said: "A certain family was ordered to recover the entire territory of Western Xia, as for the others, a certain family does not know, if you want to ask the reason, you can go to Beijing to ask the imperial court in the future, now, a certain family will give you a day, unconditionally open the city to surrender, a certain family promises not to kill innocent people, if tomorrow when the hour comes, you still do not open the city to surrender, then our army will immediately attack the city, at that time, your life safety, a certain family can not dare to guarantee." ”

In the face of Wu Jue's unreasonableness, from Li Renxiao onwards, everyone is extremely angry!

Later, Li Renxiao discussed with everyone and decided to fight once.

There are three reasons why Li Renxiao and others made this decision:

The first reason is that Richard has just defeated the Ren Dejing rebels, which are twice as large as the Xia army, which gave Li Renxiao and others the confidence to defeat the Chinese army.

The second reason is that Wu Jue does not have many troops in his hands, at most, it is only forty or fifty thousand, which is half of the Xia army.

The third reason is that Li Renxiao has already understood a truth, that is, what you can't get on the battlefield can't get at the negotiating table.

Under the expectation of Li Renxiao and others, the Chinese army and the Xia army launched a decisive battle under the city of Xingqing Mansion.

The Western Xia took the lead in attacking in their usual ways.

This battle was related to the fate of the Li clan in Western Xia, and Brother Richard did not dare not go all out.

Under the command of Richard Ge, the Poxi army of Western Xia took the lead in the attack.

The Chinese army returned the color with bed crossbows and flying god thunder.

In this wave of engagements, the Poxi army relied on its good mobility and slightly gained the upper hand.

Seeing this, Li Renxiao and the others relaxed a little, and Brother Richard also took this opportunity to decisively send Iron Harriers to prepare for a battle to divide the winner.

And yet—

What made Richard a little unexpected, and even a little uneasy, was that in the face of the imposing iron harrier, the Chinese army did not do anything else except to continue to fight back with bed crossbows and flying divine thunder.

This made Brother Richard, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, very puzzled, and didn't understand how Wu Jue wanted to fight this battle?

Wu Jue didn't let Richard wonder for too long.

Soon, the front-line units of the Chinese army raised their muskets in their hands.

Two arrows away, the Iron Harrier began to accelerate, and the Chinese army's muskets began to shoot in an orderly manner.

"Bang bang ......"

"Bang bang ......"

"Bang bang ......"

“……”

After a crackling sound, the invincible Iron Harrier that Western Xia had previously faced fell in pieces, with men and horses.

By the time the Iron Harrier rushed to the land of a stone's throw, there was not much left.

The Chinese army fired another round of gunfire, and the terrifying Iron Harrier was completely annihilated.

In this battle, except for one unlucky soldier who was shot in the arm by a stray arrow, there were almost zero casualties!

This kind of result scared all the Western Xia people stupidly, and Li Renxiao even sat on the ground with a butt!

Subsequently, the Chinese army began to advance in an orderly manner, and the muskets in the hands of a group of Chinese soldiers were as graceful as the sickles of death, ready to step forward to harvest wave after wave of lives.

This kind of waiting for death without the power to resist made the soldiers of the Xia army unable to even breathe!

The Chinese army is getting closer and closer!

Ten arrows away!

Five arrows away!

Three arrows away!

It's almost two arrows away!

Brother Richard ordered with red eyes: Charge!

And personally participate in the charge.

Some Xia Army warriors obeyed Richard's orders and risked their lives to charge forward with Richard!

But—

Many more fled at the command of the charge—they were not willing to die!

The musket still harvested the lives of the Western Xia warriors in an orderly manner, and the first to bear the brunt was Brother Richard, who was shot dozens of times in a row!

But although Brother Richard was bleeding all over his body, he still brandished his saber and rushed forward to kill, and finally fell in front of the Chinese army with his BMW!

Before he died, Richard desperately threw out the war knife in his hand, and an unlucky Chinese soldier fell in response - the old general saved the last bit of face for the Western Xia, an empire that was also glorious in the past.

But at the same time, the cavalry also came out from behind the musketeers.

What followed was a one-sided massacre.

The Xia army was defeated.

Li Renxiao, who saw with his own eyes that all his confidence and hope had been shattered in this decisive battle, closed his eyes and then ordered: Kaesong surrenders, and no more useless resistance.

Western Xia perished.
