Chapter 289: Recovering Yongzhou
The generals immediately got on their horses again in high spirits, everyone understood the truth of the speed of the soldiers, and at this time was more precious than anything else, so they simply nibbled on the horse while nibbling on the jerky cakes, while continuing to move forward at a gallop.
However, it is said that Li Dezhong was indeed in the Silver City at this time, and I have to say that he was still a very talented person, and after his management and command, the city that was half destroyed by Muder at that time has been repaired a lot, and many people have gathered here.
Unlike Muder's ferocity, Li Dezhong still knows some gentle methods, as long as the Han people do not resist and are honest and obedient, they can live, so there is some anger here.
During this time, the front was too smooth, there was good news almost every day, and all kinds of looted materials were also sent here in a steady stream, Li Dezhong was very pleased, feeling that the entire Yongzhou would soon fall into their hands, it seems that the Great Song Dynasty is really too weak.
The only thing that made him unhappy was that not long ago, Zong Ze brought a lot of troops to help the division, and strengthened the defense on the border, it was not so easy for them to go back, but this problem was not big, his news had already been sent back, and now Li Qianshun, the king of Western Xia, drove his own expedition and brought many soldiers and horses to stay on the border line, occupying the absolute initiative.
But too many victories also made Li Dezhong begin to be numb, at first he also asked his subordinates to take strict precautions, but in the back there was no half of the Song soldiers at all, and they were slack up and down, and their people were all in and out at will, completely treating this place as their own home.
On this day, many Western Xia soldiers came from under the Silver City, so that the people defending the city were almost unrecognizable, all of them were embarrassed, covered in blood, and they were terrified, where was there still half a point of the demeanor of the Western Xia warriors?
These are Muder's subordinates, after being ambushed and defeated by the Liangshan soldiers on the twelve sides, these people easily escaped death and killed a bloody road, and then scattered and ran, and after a long time, they were collected by some surviving generals, and after they discussed it, they could only come to Baiyin City to join Li Dezhong.
Although they are all from the Muder clan and do not deal with Li Dezhong, they are not willing to wag their tails and beg for mercy if they can still have some way, but now they really have no way at all, the Muder commanders have been defeated, and it is rumored that they were killed by those murderous Liangshan soldiers, they have become a group of real lost dogs, even if they get back Daxia, they have no status at all.
Li Dezhong was shocked when he received the news, after all, this was a world of difference from the previous information, but before he could confirm the truth of the news, the Liangshan army behind swept in, telling him with practical actions that Muder's defeat was a fact that could no longer be true.
Poor Silver City is now completely open, just like a commercial city, where can it withstand the attack of the Liangshan army, they haven't even had time to close the city gate, Dong Yibang and Thunderbolt Fire have already broken in.
Li Dezhong saw that the big thing was not good, and hurriedly fled directly from the back door with the personal guards, and even those supplies were too late to take away, and the Liangshan soldiers chased after a while and went back, recovering the silver city in a grand manner, and easily took back the things that Muder and they had looted during this time.
The other group led by Yue Fei and Hu Yanzhuo also successfully took back Xichuan City, where the defense was even more lax, and the Liangshan soldiers ended the battle almost unscathed.
Su Yuanjing and they were in a very happy mood at this time, at that time, the two lost cities of Yongzhou, Xichuan and Baiyin, were taken back, although Li Dezhong's main force was still there, but to a certain extent, this Western Xia invasion had completely failed, and the most important thing for the imperial court was face, that is, the gains and losses of a city and a place, as for money and population, Huizong and others didn't care very much.
Therefore, in many previous wars, whether it was the Liao State or the Western Xia, as long as they were willing to return the occupied cities, other conditions were easy to say, and many officials could even make up a big victory to come back.
But this time it was a real victory, yes, it was indeed a city that was taken back from the hands of the Tanguts, how could the whole army not rejoice?
At that moment, Dong Ping, Qin Ming, Suo Chao and other anxious generals began to ask for battle to pursue Li Dezhong again, but Ye Ling waved his hand and smiled: "Don't worry, now Li Dezhong and their forces are still scattered in many places, if they are in a hurry, they will scatter and flee and become a small stream of rogues to plague the people, we simply let them gather first, and then come to a net to fight them all, wouldn't it be beautiful?" ”
All the generals suddenly realized and worshipped.
。。。
But it was said that Li Dezhong fled for thirty or forty miles with thousands of personal soldiers in one go, and when he saw that there were no pursuers coming from behind, he dared to stop and rest a little, at this time they were still puzzled, how did this Muder lose? That's an army of 50,000, does this Great Song Dynasty still have such a strong force that can defeat them in a field battle? Could it be that the rest of the elite forces are exhausted?

Li Dezhong is also puzzled by this, as the position of the left prime minister of Western Xia, whether it is vision or strategy, it is by no means comparable to a brave man like Muder, he knows that the Great Song Dynasty still has a foundation, even if it is rotten, there are 3,000 nails in the broken ship, but their country is not very chaotic, and thieves are swarming? In addition, there is still the Liao State in the north, how dare they send the elite to the west, don't they want the rest of the place?
Li Dezhong hurriedly sent people to gather his troops, and at the same time inquired about information, two or three days later, the 30,000 troops under his command also came one after another, and the information gradually became clear, the people who came this time were not the forbidden army or the rest of the elite, but a force called Liangshan in the Great Song Dynasty.
This Liangshan should also rebel against the Great Song Dynasty, and I don't know why he joined forces with the imperial court to deal with them, which is really inexplicable.
Li Dezhong counted his men and horses, fortunately he ran fast and the loss was not big, there were more than 25,000 at this time, and from the point that the enemy did not dare to pursue them, the strength of the other party was not as strong as imagined, it should be Muder They underestimated the enemy, plus the troops were scattered, there may be some special reasons for this to suffer.

So after Li Dezhong discussed with his generals, he decided to fight with this Liangshan, otherwise how would he explain to the king if he went back in such a disgraced manner? Could it be that if Muder and their enemies were defeated, we would have left them behind and come back first? Even if the king doesn't blame, will they still have the face to see people in the future?
