Chapter 851: What about Liu Fa, Wu Song, and Song Jun on the West Road?
After this great victory, coupled with the previous ambush on the bank of the Wuding River, the annihilation battle of Yinzhou luring the enemy out of the city, Xiao Tang led his troops to kill more than 34,000 Xia troops and captured more than 5,500 people, and then took advantage of the situation to sweep the military villages under the rule of Shi, Yin, and Xia Prefectures, and seized 1,500 tents, captured tens of thousands of camels, cattle and horses, and seized more than 20,000 stones of grain stored in Western Xia, and most of the grain and grass were burned on the spot because of the slow down of the marching speed of the soldiers and horses, resulting in a great injury to the vitality of the army under the military division in the eastern part of the Xia State. can only retreat to defend the dangerous city, and completely fall into a passive dilemma strategically.
Under the command of Xiao Tang, several battalions of forbidden troops from the front division of the Bianjing Palace, plus the Western Army of Wu Jue's department, several battalions of soldiers and horses under the command of Liu Zhongwu, the integrated Jingnan Army, and the Song army of the Eastern Front under the jurisdiction of Xizhou Guansheng, Runing County, Yan'an Prefecture and Suidezhou, a total of 35,000 people were immediately dispatched, and after a series of fierce battles, more than 6,000 people were lost and more than 3,000 people were seriously wounded.
Since then, in addition to the natural god general Liu Fa and other generals of the Western Army who have repeatedly made contributions in the border court, Ren Xia Xiao Tang has also become the mortal enemy of the Xia Army.
It's just that Xiao Tang also knows very well in his heart that the reason why he can achieve such an outstanding record is that in addition to the two henchmen and brothers Xu Guanzhong and Xiao Jiasui, the Cloth Immortal Jianqing, complement each other and make meritorious contributions, the Great Song Dynasty sent a three-way army to mobilize more than 200,000 troops to conquer the Xia State, and the Xia army focused its defense on the western front and confronted the forbidden army led by Tong Guan and Liu Fa, and his pressure on the eastern front was naturally much less. If you want to catch up with the achievements of those famous generals who have left a name in history, this is only the beginning of the achievements you have made so far.
As for the battle report from the western front, Liu Fa led the army and the Xia army to fight fiercely in the Hehuang River basin (the area where the Yellow River and Huangshui meet, the northeast region of Qinghai, between the Loess Plateau and the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau), he led more than 10,000 forbidden troops to capture Renduoquan City, beheaded thousands of levels, and began to build Zhenwu City along the mountain and river, and the Xia State naturally could not let the Song army build the city smoothly, and made the Song army in the east and east roads of northern Shaanxi and Longyou to form a pincer attack on the country, so he also dispatched several military divisions to concentrate heavy troops to launch a fierce attack, According to the Song general Li Ming, who was guarding Zhenwu City, he was defeated and killed, and Liu Fa immediately led his troops to rush to help, and is currently in a stalemate with the Xia army.
When he heard the battle report on the Western Front, Xiao Tang couldn't help but think of Wu Song, the righteous brother who was now promoted to the second general of Yan Yanlu and obeyed orders in front of Liu Fa's account.
Presumably, Second Brother Wu is acting under General Liu Fa's account, and he still has to compete for the first place in every battle, and fight hard to kill the enemy on the battle array...... Xiao Tang secretly thought in his heart, now that the Song and Xia fronts stretched for thousands of miles, even if he and Wu Song went to the border court together, they would also fight with the Xia army, but they still had no chance to meet. And Wu Song is certainly a master of infantry combat with excellent martial arts, but he is not a general who is good at commanding and dispatching troops and horses, Rao is Xiao Tang is often the first soldier as the commander of an army, but there are still many henchmen and subordinates around him, but like Wu Song, a general who often needs to fight for his life, every battle he has to experience is also a fateful act.
What's more, now that General Liu Fa has joined forces with Tong Guan, what evil intentions will be born from that concubine in the future...... Xiao Tang is also clear now.
Liu Fa, who was praised as a famous general and must be headed by the law, must have not expected that Tong Guan planned to use public weapons for private purposes to get rid of him, a stumbling block that hindered his overall military power in the western army, and the army would be isolated at that time, and the second brother Wu was only afraid that his life would be at risk. Xiao Tang said in his heart that now that he is in charge of the Song army, he must not be indifferent, but what should he do to save the lives of Liu Fa and even many Song soldiers under his command?
After thinking about it, Xiao Tang immediately repaired a book, and then called his military officials and handed him the note, saying: "You take a fast horse and rush to the military post on the border of Yanyan Road in the starry night, and ask the post officer to deliver the urgent foot delivery (in the Song Dynasty, the official post post delivery method is divided into undertaking the transportation of official goods, the foot delivery with a slower foot journey, the sound of transmitting documents, the faster horse delivery, and the three kinds of urgent foot delivery used to transmit urgent military documents on the border, according to legend, travel 400 miles a day), and hand it over to the old man as soon as possible. ”

Three hundred miles south of Youzhou in the Xia Kingdom, near the ruins of Tongwan City.
The Song military camp under the command of the seed master and the seed master was located not far north of the Great Wall in Jingbian County in the later generations, and the nearest Xia army army village was only a hundred miles away. And dozens of miles south of the camp, you can see the ancient Great Wall like a giant dragon in the mountains and mountains along the ridge winding, more than 70 beacon towers stand, and then over here is the border of the Great Song Dynasty Yanyan Road Security Army.
And not far east of the camp can also see the Wuhu Sixteen Kingdoms period, another "Xia Kingdom" of the opening emperor of the Huns Helian Bobo built the ruins of the ruins of the Tongwan City, the Great Song Dynasty Chunhua five years, Song Taizong Zhao Guangyi had ordered the relocation of the people to destroy the city, as far as the demolition of the outer city wall of the Tongwan City, this was known as the "Gao Yu Yin Said, Chong Yong Jiyun, Shi Guo Tianchi, Zhou Mian Qianli" The overall city defense fortifications were also destroyed at that time, and not long ago several battalions of Xia Army stationed near the Tongwan City were also killed by the subordinates of the Seed Master Dao, Just like the seven or eight military fortresses of the Xia army that the Song army in the middle of the road conquered one after another in these days.
In the Hulu River defeated the Xia army's planting division and planting division, he took advantage of the victory to march, and in the subsequent battle, he conquered Zangdi City within eight days, and forced the Youzhou and Zhulu Prefecture under the jurisdiction of the Xia State Jianing Army Division Rongwei, but also because of the defeat of the Xia army by Xiao Tang in the east, and the left wing of the Shenyong Army Division lost most of it, and the commander did not hide the Guluo was also shot by the enemy general in the rout, and the soldiers and horses under the command of the Xia Guoxiangyou Military Division and the Jianing Military Division who got the news did not dare to act rashly, for fear of being taken advantage of by the Song army under the command of the Dao of the World and Xiao Tang. The Song army under the command of the seed master and the seed master is also like a bamboo, and it has repeatedly overcome the fortress.
In the camp, several light horsemen of the nearby sentinels have just returned to the camp, some of the soldiers in the village have made fires and cooked, some people are slowly brushing their war horses, and more soldiers are also in a good mood because of several successive victories, they are talking and laughing in twos and threes, and from time to time there is a burst of laughter. As for the generals of the various ministries, they were busy counting the soldiers and horses, grain and grass, ordnance, and baggage, and were ready to wait for the old and the small to lead their troops to the expedition, so that the captured Hengshan military fortress and the walled city walls built by their own side were completely opened and connected into a line, and then fully occupied the Hengshan land of the Xia Kingdom.
At this moment, suddenly a soldier with a bag tied around his waist and a shirt tied up rushed towards the camp on a fast horse, rolling up the smoke and dust in the sky. The soldier who was on duty in the village came from the south, dressed as a soldier in a military post shop, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask.
It's just that before the soldier guarding the military village asked, the military post officer who rushed to the edge of the camp on his horse pulled the reins and shouted first: "The security army of Yanyan Road sent a hurry to deliver the military information, and forwarded the official document of Xiao Xiang, the envoy of the Xin'an Army and the deputy envoy of the supervising army, and submitted the urgent official document, and I have come to hand it over to the old man of the old breed!" ”
