In order to ensure the surprise of the surprise attack, Lin Chong did not stay in Weizhou for long, and continued to go north to the Zhenrong army to join the 30,000 Liangshan cavalry on the same day, and after a little rest, he led 20,000 cavalry from the Huaide army to the north and entered the territory of Western Xia.

To say that although the western thieves are strong, after all, the country is small and the people are poor, and their strength is limited, even if the Song Dynasty was defeated and retreated at the beginning, losing the city and losing the land, it is not embarrassing.

But the Song Dynasty was a big country in the end, and neither the land area nor the manpower and material resources were comparable to the small countries of Western Xia.

Therefore, when the Song Dynasty, which had been beaten badly, recovered from its injuries, found a way to deal with it, and devoted the whole country to launch a counterattack against these robbers, it quickly crushed the Western Xia to death.

As early as a few decades ago, the Western Army of the Great Song Dynasty first opened up the Hehuang Battlefield and achieved a major victory when it could not make a breakthrough in the Hengshan Battlefield, forming a two-sided attack on Xingqing Mansion, the capital of the Western Thief Kingdom.

After the Song Dynasty, there was a genius poet general - Zhang Qi, who invented the tactics of "hardening the village and fighting a dumb battle", repeatedly hit the western thieves, and broke 400,000 western thieves in the battle of Pingxia.

Shortly before Lin Chong crossed, the Western Army conquered the Hengshan area in one fell swoop.

And because of the butterfly effect brought about by Lin Chong's appearance, Huan Yi's suggestions and reminders by Tong Guan's side, in real history, the Western Army of the Battle of Tong'an City, which originally led to a great defeat due to the rash advance of the enemy, won a big victory again and successfully occupied the Shuofang land of Western Xia.

Coupled with the fall of the Liao State, for example, in the previous battle of Pingxia City, Zhang Qi broke the main force of 40,000 Western thieves, and the Western Xia asked the Liao State to put pressure on the Song Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty had to agree to negotiate peace under pressure.

It is because although Song Liao is nominally a country of good neighborliness and friendly brothers, in fact, the Liao State has been supporting the Western Thieves to consume the strength of the Song Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty has always wanted to recover the land of Yanyun.

Now that the Liao State is like this, the Song Dynasty will naturally no longer be afraid of the threat of the Liao State, so it is also determined to solve the problem of the western thieves once and for all, and almost all the strength of the whole country will build the fortress all the way to the city of Xingqing Mansion, and use trenches and walled walls to besiege it.

Under such a big situation, the western thieves, who were extremely arrogant a few years ago, suddenly became honest, not only did they no longer dare to send the captive army to the Song Land to sneak attack and loot, kill people and set fires, but took the initiative to retreat the tribes on the border back two hundred miles.

Not only that, but perhaps the Western Xia spies found out that the 30,000 iron cavalry of the Liangshan Army had arrived in Guanxi; Perhaps it was expected that the commander of the Liangshan Army would drive straight in, and the Western Xia would adopt the tactics of clearing the field in advance.

Therefore, when Lin Chong led 20,000 troops to the north, he didn't fight for two days, and sporadically encountered a few western thieves and sentry sentries, and he also ran away when he saw the figure of the Liangshan cavalry from a distance, and the Liangshan army was not familiar with the terrain, so he did not rush to chase it.

On the morning of the third day, the army marched more than 30 miles east-north, and a large stockade appeared again on the snowfield.

Yeli Jiaqing pointed to the stockade in the distance and said: "Master Lin, this is the Yeci Department, one of the eight departments of the party, I don't know if the people have also withdrawn." ”

Yeli Jiaqing is a party guide provided by the old minister for the Liangshan army.

This person was originally a minor officer of the Western Xia garrison, but he was forced to flee to the Song Dynasty because he offended the powerful, and was rescued by the subordinates of the old breed minister when he fled to the border.

Lin Chong nodded, and turned his head to Han Shizhong, Wu Jie, and Wu Luan, who were half a horse behind him: "General Han, two General Wu, do you say that the Wild Resignation Department has withdrawn?" ”

A few people are the three young generals that Lin Chong borrowed from Tong Guan, although the three of them are all very famous in the original history, but at this time the three are just insignificant junior officers.

Maybe Tong Guan wanted 20,000 Liangshan troops to fall to death, as soon as Lin Chong opened his mouth, he agreed very happily, and other things such as food and salary supplies were also very happy.

Hearing Lin Chong's question, Han Shizhong, the largest official in the middle grade of the three, was the first to speak: "Lin Jiedu, no matter whether there are people in the village in front of you or not, our actions have been exposed this time.

According to the young general, the western thieves are using strong walls to clear the wilderness, luring the enemy into the tactics, and waiting until we are sleepy and short of horses and food and salaries......"

Han Shizhong was talking, his eyes were full of worry, and at this moment, he saw a horn sound suddenly coming from the front, Lin Chong, Han Shizhong and the others stood up from the saddle and looked north.

At this time, it was a rare sunny day, and the view was excellent, and I saw a group of Western Xia knights rushing out of the stockade in a hurry on the white snowfield, turning to the north and fleeing in a hurry.

Liang Shanjun's reaction was also extremely fast, seeing that the opponent was not many in number, and at the same time as blowing the horn, the scout team suddenly split into three and pursued the gang from three directions.

Because their horses had already moved, these knights almost instantly raised their speed to the maximum, and with their speed, they quickly formed a three-sided encirclement of the western thief cavalry.

As the distance closed, the crossbow arrows pounced on the fleeing thief knights like locusts, and from time to time the horses fell to the ground, and the knights were thrown out immediately.

Seeing that it was difficult to run away, these Western Thief knights were also ruthless, and they turned their horses' heads one after another, brandished their weapons and shouted to rush towards the Liangshan cavalry outflanked on the left.

Han Shizhong's heart couldn't help but rise, he knew that the scout who was in charge of opening the road to patrol the road today was the cavalry of Yang Zhi's department, unlike most of the cavalry of the Khitan and Xi tribes under the command of Huarong's department, most of these scouts were Song cavalry who had only learned to ride horses for less than a year.

The bravery of the Western Thief Cavalry, Han Shizhong, has long been taught, and he was chased into a desperate attack, the intensity of the next battle can be imagined, can this small group of Liangshan Army cavalry withstand it?

At this moment, I saw a white horse general in the Song army's cavalry formation coming out of the crowd at once, rushing to the Liangshan army to tighten the formation, and the two sides were about to take the lead in crashing into the cavalry formation of dozens of Western thieves before they were about to engage in short-handed combat.

He saw a silver spear flying up and down like lightning, and as soon as he fought, four or five Western Thief cavalry were stabbed by him, and then one person and one horse rushed into the most dense place of Western Thieves.

Those red-eyed western thief cavalry also rushed up desperately to fight with him at this time, but where did they get close to him? In the blink of an eye, he stabbed him to death again and overturned more than a dozen people.

The remaining western thieves were still desperate, but at this time, the Liangshan cavalry behind the white horse general also formed a dense cavalry formation to kill, and immediately swept away the surviving front row of western thief cavalry.

At this time, the remaining ten or so cavalry of the Western Thieves finally collapsed, turned their horses around again and wanted to escape, but where could they escape? After being killed by the young man on a white horse, the remaining horsemen became captives and were captured alive.

Han Shizhong stared blankly at the battlefield not far away that ended the battle in just ten breaths, and beside him, Wu Jie, Wu Lan, and Yeli Jiaqing also looked dumbfounded.

The four of them had all fought against the elite cavalry of the Western Xia, or they were simply from the petty officers of the Western Xia garrison, so they naturally knew how strong and difficult these Western thief cavalry were.

The Western Xia was originally founded by force, and the war was never broken in the past few decades; Moreover, the Western Xia is located in the land of the four wars, the environment is harsh, and the resources are scarce, all of which make the Western Xia soldiers extremely hard-working, able to endure hard fighting, and fight fiercely.

For decades, the Western Army has always relied on a strict and solid infantry arrow array and various fortifications to encroach on the strategic points of the Western Thieves little by little, forcing the Western Thieves to fight positional battles and offensive and defensive battles with the Western Army, which has achieved victory after victory.

However, for field battles, especially cavalry-to-cavalry head-to-head collisions, the Western Army has always tried to avoid them, and the reason is simple, it really can't be defeated.

But when it comes to Liangshanjun, these western thieves are too easy to fight, right?

Also, the white horse and silver spear general who took the lead, like a tiger entering the flock, this force is too strong.

I had long heard that the fierce generals in the Liangshan army were like clouds, but Han Shizhong and the three of them never thought that the fifteen-year-old general under Lin Chong's command would also be so terrifying.

In this world, are all heroes under the banner of the Liangshan Army?
