Chapter 1064: The cunning and changeable silver fox

That's right, the treasure knife in Li Zhizhong's hand was cut off!

It is really sad that your weapon has an accident in the middle of the battle.

Li Zhizhong's long knife was cut off by Shi En when he was parrying, and although he escaped the vital point of his neck, he was still injured in the arm by this remaining knife.

At this time, for Li Zhizhong, the pain in his body was nothing, and it hurt his heart even more, because the knife that was cut off by Shi En was a gift from the lord of the Western Xia Kingdom, and it was also a famous treasure knife in China.

Shi En cut not only a knife, but also the pride of being a Tangut person, as a small country in the west, whether it is culture, history, or smelting and other technologies, it has always been incomparable with the big countries of the Central Plains.

Li Zhizhong, who was wounded on his arm and had no weapon in his hand, could only close his eyes in the face of Shi En, who attacked again, and the next moment, his great head fell to the ground......

The only remaining Western Xia soldiers found that the head of the main general Li Zhizhong had been captured by the generals of the empire, and their morale that they had left immediately collapsed.

Thousands of Western Xia soldiers were going to open a way to escape, but it was too late to do so, the Imperial soldiers who had killed all the enemy had already outflanked them, and bullets and grenades flew wherever the cavalry fled.

These imperial soldiers did not seek to hurt anyone, but aimed at the horses with larger targets, and with the sound of gunfire and explosions, these Western Xia routs fell down one by one.

The battle has been chaotic now, because the Tanguts are attacking Hohhot City from all sides, so now the Tangut soldiers are running in all directions like headless flies, and the imperial soldiers who follow them are shooting, advancing, and shooting again, repeating monotonous movements, harvesting their lives.

The battle in Hohhot was nearing its end, and another Western Xia army on the Yan'an side of the province also went to war with the emperor.

The commander of that road is the tribal patriarch Tuoba Ning of the party, although this person is old, but the older he is, the more cunning he is, so he is called the silver fox in the Western Xia.

This time, in order to retaliate for the cannibalism on the border, the Western Xia State dispatched troops and gathered the troops of the whole country to meet the enemy, seeing that the war between the two countries was about to begin.

How terrible the emperor is, although Tuoba Ning doesn't know, but he knows that the Song State that almost destroyed the Western Xia was captured by the empire, and the more powerful Jin State was also beaten by the empire to cut the land and sue for peace.

Since he was a silver fox, Tuoba Ning naturally knew that this battle was auspicious, so when he heard that the lord Li Qianshun was going to send two armies to plunder grain and grass in the empire, he hurriedly volunteered to deal with the matter.

Tuoba Ning thought very clearly, is it dangerous to fight against the regular army of the empire, or is it safer to fight with the patrol forces in the empire?

The answer to this question is unknown, so Tuoba Ning happily took more than 50,000 soldiers and horses from his own tribe and other tribes with good relations, and rushed to the area of Yan'an Mansion.

Tuoba Ning's army was also ambushed by the emperor along the way, but he found that the speed of the flying eagle in the sky was faster than that of Li Zhizhong on the other side.

Tuoba Ning, who did not suffer much losses, also knew through this incident that the emperor had completely mastered his own course of action, so they hurriedly led the army to bypass the Yan'an Mansion defended by the emperor and went straight to Fengxiang Mansion.

Tuoba Ning changed his route so suddenly, and the emperor stationed in Yan'an Mansion became passive.

This time, in order to deal with the plundering army of Western Xia, the Lanzhou camp on the Dinan Road also sent two integrated divisions with a total of 20,000 people to support Yan'an and other places.

The two division commanders who led the troops stationed in Yan'an Mansion were also well-known figures, one was from the Second Army of the Empire commanded by Kress, and the division commander of the Fourth Division was a winged tiger.

and the other is from the Fourth Army of the Empire of the Divine Arrow Heavenly King Pang Wanchun, the commander of the Second Division, the beautiful bearded prince Zhu Tong.

These two are both heroes that Li Nan received from Liangshan back then, and since returning to the empire, they have also changed from villains who robbed homes to emperors, and then they relied on their talents and bravery to become generals step by step.

The two generals, Zhu Tong and Lei Heng, have been monitoring the movements of the Western Xia army because of the ability of the female fox Mary to control the flying eagle.

They originally thought that Tuoba Ning's army, just like Li Zhizhong's troops in the north, would also choose Yan'an Mansion, a city that transports supplies, as the target of robbery, but they never expected that the other party would not act according to the plan at all, but instead rushed to Fengxiang Mansion, which was located in the rear and had very few troops.

Now, in order to annihilate this Western Xia army, Zhu Tong and Lei Heng can only abandon Yan'an Mansion, which is high in the city and deep in the pool, and march to Fengxiang Mansion with 20,000 regular troops under their command.

The flying eagle controlled by the female fox Mary discovered the movement of the Tuoba Ning army in Western Xia at the first time, and in addition to reporting the matter to Zhu Tong and Lei Heng, the two division commanders, she also wrote a letter in her own handwriting, tied to the eagle's claws and sent to Fengxiang Mansion.

At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, Qizhou was placed, and Tianbao was changed to Fufeng County in the first year. In the second year of Zhide, Su Zong was fortunate to come to Fufeng County, recovered Chang'an and Luoyang in the same year, and set up Fengxiang Mansion in December, called Xijing, and Chengdu, Jingzhao, Henan, and Taiyuan are collectively called Wujing.

This ancient city was about to be devoured by the Western Xia man-eating beasts, and after learning the news, the imperial officials of Fengxiang Mansion were shocked.

Relying on the more than 1,000 security patrol troops of Fengxiang Mansion, they would definitely not be able to resist the 50,000 army of Western Xia, so the county guards here could only order all the people to retreat to Jingzhao Mansion, the big city in the southeast.

No one expected that the Tangut people would break into the territory of the empire so far, and fleeing was definitely a torture for the common people, but compared to the cannibalistic Tangut army, this choice was undoubtedly very correct.

The county guard mobilized all the horses and carriages in the city to transport the people, and also had a part of the security army to maintain order and escort them out of their homes.

The entire Fengxiang County was full of sadness, leaving their homes, leaving the land they had worked so hard to cultivate, these imperial people couldn't help but cry, and some people begged the county guard, trying to persuade him to stay at home.

"Are you dizzy?" The young county guard, who graduated from the Imperial Changsha Higher Academy, roared angrily: "Have you forgotten why the empire went to attack the Western Xia Kingdom this time? ”

The county guard yelled at the people kneeling in front of him, "There is no food in Western Xia, they are eating people now!" Do you know what cannibalism is? It's just stewed you all! ”

After being yelled at by the county guard, these begging people suddenly remembered this incident, and soon everyone fled in the direction of Jingzhao Mansion as fast as possible.

In fact, about the cannibalism of the Tangut people, the people of the empire all saw it in the newspapers, and when they did not experience it personally, although they were angry, they did not feel too afraid.

But now that the Tanguts are coming, this terrifying feeling really hits the hearts of the people of the empire.
