Another walled city around Xiaoguan was recaptured by the Song army, and the Xia army was killed by more than 4,000 people, and almost no survivors escaped. Now Xiao Guantian is in danger, not to mention that the two villages have been taken one after another, and the Xia army has also lost a large number of troops, and now the situation has become more favorable to Xiao Tang's side.

When the Song army attacked the third Fengsui walled city, the Xia army defenders did not prepare enough equipment to defend the city, and the Song army outflanked the past from the front and between the mountains gathered, with 15,000 people inside and outside, and the enemy army was delusional to be able to defend the city, and at the same time hoped that Xiao Pass and even the Xia State in the north could come to the aid in time, but Xiao Tang had already set up another army to set up an ambush between the valley roads leading to the walled city, and the Xia army north of Xiao Pass did not come, and if the army was brought to help, it was possible to fight another ambush war.

The Song army organized Yongjian to climb the vine ridge, and there were archers on the high slopes and mountains and forests around the city to shoot rockets diagonally downward, igniting the granaries of the wooden houses, firewood, grass and trees in the walled, which immediately caused fires everywhere, causing the Xia State to collect troops and the army in a great disorder.

The Song army waited for the fire to gradually subside and immediately attacked the city from the front, the small centaurs were burned by the flames, and the rest of the Xia army was also smoky and burning, and the war was not as tragic as the first two sieges, the Song army was surrounded by a combined attack on the mountain and the city, and the Xia army in the city was defeated and retreated, and countless corpses were left behind every step back.

About an hour later, most of the Xia army was annihilated, and a small part fell into the nearby mountains and cliffs, and the rest also knelt on the ground and begged to surrender.

Several barriers near Xiao Pass were recovered by the Song army, the door was wide open, the commanding heights of the villages were dangerous, and the strategic defense conditions that echoed each other from a distance had disappeared, Xiao Tang only had to repeat the old tricks, and led his troops to strike along the Liupan Mountain Pass, and the mountains were continuous and thorny ridges, occupying the commanding heights on all sides of Xiao Pass, and then attacking from the front to the pass, although Xiao Pass, which was cut off from the left arm, was far stronger than the surrounding Fengsui Walled City, but in terms of the current situation, The resistance to retaking this dangerous pass on the Song-Xia border has been greatly reduced.

However, just as Xiao Tang was discussing with his generals how to dispatch troops and horses to attack head-on, or outflank Xiao Pass by detouring the mountains, a scout of the sentry hurriedly came back to report: Since seven days ago, the number of troops guarding the head of Xiao Pass has been decreasing more and more, until today, the sentry only looks deep in the mountains, crossing a few chaotic mountains, and the existing Xia army of the brigade reorganizes the soldiers, horses, chariots, and evacuates Xiao Pass, and it seems that it is going to move in the direction of the Xia Kingdom in the north.

The army of the Xia Kingdom actually retreated!?

Xiao Tang was shocked when he heard the report, even the generals in the camp looked at each other and couldn't understand it. Xiao Tang immediately sent a small number of soldiers and horses to touch the wall of Xiao Pass at night, and sure enough, there was not a single soldier to guard against it, and Xiao Pass was lifeless inside and outside, it seemed that only an empty pass was left overnight, and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses had already disappeared out of thin air.

Xiao Tang immediately led his troops to advance into Xiao Pass, and sent Niu Gao to lead a light horse to search for the movements of the Xia army before leaving the pass. Five days later, the scouts who had been sent out came back to report that a large number of dismantled and destroyed artillery and ordnance had been found near the Killing Niuling Ridge in the northwest of Xiao Pass, and it seemed that due to the inconvenience of carrying a large number of equipment, they were dismantled on the spot by the Xia army, just like many of the remaining parts of ordnance that were burned and smashed in Xiao Pass.

It's just that the north is controlled by the Xia army, and the ranger sentry led by Niu Gao is also inconvenient to go deep alone, Xiao Tang once again unfolded the map to inspect the surrounding Song and Xia border topography and the distribution of military states, according to what he wanted, the soldiers and horses of the Xia State went to the long-distance attack and conquered the Xia Xiao Pass, and to the north there were Xia Guo Xishou Baotai Military Division, Weizhou Jingsai Military Division of the soldiers and horses support, logistics supply, and the northern part of the land was still under the control of the Xia State. So why did Xia Jun give up this dangerous pass so easily and hand over Xiao Pass to others?

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

The military town in the western part of the Xia Kingdom, Cutting Niucheng (renamed Tong'an when the Song State occupied it, in the area of the Mutual Aid Tu Autonomous County of Qinghai Province today).

In the festival hall in the city, there is a boss who sits steadily, but he sees that he has a good appearance, and his expression is chic and calm, although he is also like the vast majority of Xia army generals sitting on both sides of the festival hall, the top of his head is bald, but there is a ball of bangs on his forehead, and he also has pigtails hanging over his ears on the left and right, and he has a big golden earring on each ear, but the Xia army commander has good facial features, and although the overhead style is very inconsistent in the eyes of the Song State Hanmin, he does not feel that he looks strange and ugly.

The generals of the Xia Army sitting at the bottom of the festival hall were all fierce and rough, and at a glance, they knew that they were all fierce warriors who killed people without blinking, but they didn't even dare to kick the atmosphere in front of the Xia Army commander who was very delicate, and their expressions were very respectful.

And this commander of the Xia army is the younger brother of Li Qianshun, the emperor of the Xia State today, and the king of Jin, Chage, who is a famous general in the Xia army this year.

As a famous general of the Xia family, Brother Cha as early as sixteen or seventeen years old with the Xia General Ren Duo Baozhong led the army to rescue the anti-Song Tubo tribes in the Hehuang area, although in the Qing Tang Dynasty, Huangshui repeatedly defeated in the hands of the Song army Miao Lu and Gao Yongnian, but when the whole army was destroyed, it was Brother Cha who shot the Song general with an arrow, and immediately led the troops to counterattack, but the Song army was defeated in panic. Since this battle, this descendant of the royal family of the Xia Kingdom has also become famous in the Xia army and is widely respected by officials and generals.

It was also he who suggested that Li Qianshun follow the example of the Song army, choose to train the strong and brave Han Dynasty, teach strong crossbows, and organize many tribes in the Xia Kingdom to carry bows and hoes in peacetime, and march into battle in stages. At the same time, he rectified the heavy cavalry iron harrier and the mountain infantry army, and repeatedly broke the Song army due to the flexible use of troops at the time and place, and gradually became the number one important minister in the Xia State army that held military power......

"Cha Ge Ning Ling, as expected, the rest of the Qingtang Tubo seems to be moving in the Hehuang region, Tong Guan's eunuch has to be careful, the Song army on the west road is divided, and Liu Fana is still leading his troops to guard the area of Xining Prefecture at this time, and it seems that he has no intention of leading the army to the north."

Brother Cha listened to the report of his subordinates, he showed a calm smile on his face, and said: "The Song people are plotting to plot the land of Hehuang, and they can't help but be reckless and reckless, that Tong Guan sent troops to Hehuang to take Qingtang, and when the people's hearts in the territory were not stable, he tried to attack my Daxia, but the tribes in Tubo were based on the territory, although Tong Guan's house was rampant, but we also had to beware of our Xia army uniting with Qingtang Qiang and Tubo to attack his back road, the Song army was greedy enough to swallow elephants, and the Xihe River opened its borders and the Hehuang expanded the land... Hehe, at this time, if the Song army still wants to forcibly send troops again, it will also fulfill my wishes......"

Cha Ge paused for a moment, and then said: "A letter, teaching the Tibetan tribes to the northern boundary of the Karachuan region, the Song army has always planned to cut off the connection between our Great Xia and Hexi, but its progress is urgent, ignoring the flank and rear, as long as our army still controls the northern border of Huangzhou, it can also go south at any time to pose a threat to the territory controlled by the Song army in the land of Hehuang." The Song State Three-Route Army invaded our Great Xia, and the supply of grain, grass and military supplies along the border front was also very large, not to mention the difficult transportation and supply routes in Yongliang, Hehuang and other places, and they could also wait for the opportunity to intercept the Song army's grain route. ”

When the general of the Xia army heard this, he immediately received the order, and at this time, someone reported to Brother Cha: "Brother Cha Ningling, news came from the side of Weizhou in the east, and the troops of our army who captured Xiao Pass have returned north, presumably the Song general of the Song Army on the east road called Xiao Tang...... Presumably, the pass has been recaptured. ”
