In the evening, the scouts returned to the camp one after another, they brought all kinds of information, these information summed up, in fact, the situation has been spread, there are about four Qiang cavalry teams in Dunzhou, each cavalry team is about a thousand people, they are currently busy dividing the territory, so there is no movement for the time being.

"The Qiang people are also mainly tribes, each tribe has its own interests, they originally lived in the northern part of Gyeongju, and now they have occupied most of Gyeongju and Dunzhou, and now they need to sit down and distribute benefits, once they enter the stage of benefit distribution, there will be contradictions, and with contradictions, the previous tacit cooperation will be greatly reduced, for us, this is an opportunity."

In the big tent, more than a dozen partial generals listened very attentively, and Li Yanqing pointed to the map with a wooden pole again: "This place is called Yangwazi, only forty miles away from us, and there is also a Qiang army there, about 1,200 people, all of them are cavalry, if we can wipe out this army, we can get six to seven hundred war horses, we can build our own cavalry team, and then cannibalize one by one.......

Speaking of this, Li Yanqing consciously stopped and said with a smile: "I think many people should understand my tactic, that is, cannibalization, like silkworms, devouring the Qiang people piece by piece. ”

At this time, the general of the first battalion raised his hand and said: "The Qiang people will not be restrained, what if they realize the crisis and quickly unite?" ”

"General Gao is right, the Qiang people are not stupid, just sit there and wait for us to encroach, once they feel the danger, they will definitely unite quickly, in this case, we will retreat back to the camp, hang up the free battle card, see if they can consume or we can consume!"

Seeing that everyone nodded again and again, Li Yanqing continued: "Our army has entered Dunzhou, but the Qiang people don't seem to realize the danger, this is actually the first victory that paralyzed them, the first time they defeated 20,000 Xiang troops, and this time we only have more than 10,000 people, it is reasonable for them to have contempt, this is just our opportunity, take advantage of their contempt to beat them hard!" ”

Speaking of this, the generals below were all a little commotion, one by one, eager to try, Li Yanqing said with a smile: "Let's go back and rectify the army first!" Eat and sleep well first, and then send troops tonight. ”

The generals came out of the tent with a bang, and only Li Yanqing and the two deputy generals were left in the big tent to lead Han Shizhong and Cao Xing, at this time, Li Yanqing looked down at the map and was silent, Han Shizhong stepped forward and said with a smile: "The first battle of the command will not be satisfied with only a thousand Qiang soldiers in Yangwazi, right?" ”

Li Yanqing nodded, Han Shizhong really saw through his heart, he pointed to a Qiang tribe in the northeast with a wooden pole, "This place is called Baizhangyuan, and there is also a group of more than 1,000 Qiang soldiers enclosing land here, about fifty miles away from us, I want to kill this Qiang army first, and then turn around and kill Yangwazi, and annihilate the two Qiang soldiers in one fell swoop, and the opponent's strength will be weakened by three." ”

At this time, Cao Xing, who had been silent, said in a low voice: "Could it be that after we send troops, the Qiang soldiers of Yangwazi will take the opportunity to sneak attack the camp?" ”

"There is this possibility, so we must not be careless in the defense of the battalion."

Li Yanqing took two steps and said to Cao Xing: "You lead three thousand brothers to sit in the camp, once an enemy army comes to attack the camp, you will immediately send someone to report to me!" ”

"Humble duty understands!"

Li Yanqing pondered for a moment before turning back to Han Shizhong and said, "Inform all the partial generals, set off at the end of the shift!" ”

........

The Qiang people of this riot were actually a branch of the Dangxiang people, because they loved to wear black, so they were also called Hei Dangxiang, and the Hei Dang Xiang belonged to the partial branch, and the Western Xia wanted to lay a wedge within the Song Dynasty, so the Hei Dang Xiang stayed in Gyeongju.

Although there have been a few troubles in the past few decades, they are basically for the sake of ranches and taxes, and there is no other purpose.

But this time is different, it is related to the life and death of Western Xia, and at this juncture, Western Xia finally used this chess piece that had been hidden for decades.

The riot of the black party was used to contain the Song army, so that the Western Xia had no worries.

The old chieftain Ye Li Pingyuan, who has been in charge of the black party for nearly 30 years, has been seriously ill, he has two sons, the eldest son Ye Li is unruly and has a very good relationship with the Western Xia, and has always been loyal to become the hunting dog of the Western Xia, while the younger son Ye Li Sheng is more peaceful, he prefers his father's philosophy, and maintains a balance between the Song and Xia.

However, five of the six major tribes of the Black Party supported Ye Lifeng, bringing Ye Lifeng one step closer to the position of new chief.

It was the support of the five tribes that enabled Ye Lifeng to carry out the instructions of Western Xia without hesitation, despite the resolute opposition of his father and brother, and a riot broke out in Gyeongju.

So far, their march has been very successful, capturing almost all of Gyeongju and most of Dunzhou, crushing 20,000 Song troops, and also breaking through two cities, plundering a large amount of wealth and population.

More than a month of momentum has made Ye Lifeng a little arrogant, so when he heard the news that 10,000 Song troops were killed from Jingzhao, Ye Lifeng didn't pay much attention to it.

He knew very well the details of this army, the elite army of Shaanxi Road was transferred to the Northern Expedition, but the losses were exhausted, and those who remained were some recruits who had just been transferred from the box soldiers to the forbidden army.

Originally, Ye Lifeng planned to take advantage of the opponent's unstable foothold to gather cavalry to give the opponent a head-on blow, but several tribes were fighting for territory, especially the battle for the hundred-mile-long rich grassland on both sides of the pond, and the Nanli Department and the Beggar Department were almost about to meet each other, at this time, it was difficult to gather them.

And Ye Lifeng also has his own thoughts, he has been away from Gyeongju for too long, and he heard that his father has reached the end of his life, and at this time only his brother is by his side, so I don't know if my father will really pass on the position of chief to his brother.

Ye Lifeng is not very rare for this chieftain position, it's a big deal that he lets other tribal leaders support him as a chieftain again, Ye Lifeng wants Yelibu.

Yeli is the largest tribe in the black party, divided into three, the old Yeli occupies the largest part, the two sons are divided into three, and the father is also eccentric when the family is separated, and Yeli Sheng has a large number of young and strong people.

The young and strong population and strength in the hands of Ye Lifeng are only 20% of the Yeli Ministry, and the party members pay attention to strength, if the father gives the Yeli Department to his brothers, with this strength in his own hands, the rest of the tribes may not buy it.

So in the past two days, no Lifeng was upset, he wanted to go back to Gyeongju, but he couldn't let go here, and everyone refused to give up the land they had already acquired and retreated westward.

Ye Lifeng walked to the big tent with his hands in his hands, staring at the dark night sky in the south distraughtly, unable to advance by himself, reluctant to retreat, and really didn't know how to focus on it.

But Ye Lifeng didn't know that just when he was melancholy and confused, the Song army in the south had already begun to break the situation.

．．．．．．．．

Baizhang was originally a highland with a radius of fifty miles, but the terrain is flat, the grass and trees are lush, and the banks of the pond to the north are also green grass, which is an excellent place for grazing.

This area of animal husbandry treasure land is currently occupied by the second tribe of the Black Clan, the Nanli Division, but several other tribes are not convinced, especially the beggar tribe in the north insists on dividing half of the river valley, resulting in sharp contradictions between the two tribes, and there is almost infighting.

In the past few days, the attention of the Nanli Department has basically been on the river valley in the north, and almost all the sentries have been used to keep an eye on the beggar tribe, but they have not paid attention to the Song army in the south.

Perhaps because of the long-term living in the territory of the Song Dynasty, the black party has gradually formed the habit of forming a village, which is also determined by the terrain, there is no endless grassland, most of them are plateaus and mountains, and there are wolves from time to time, so the tribes of the black party are first to form a village in every place, grazing during the day, and driving the sheep and livestock back to the village at night to avoid wolves.

The cottage of Nanli is on a hill 100 zhang high, the hill is about several miles long, but it is also hard and dangerous, Nanli can not dream that the Song army suddenly killed outside the gate of the village when the day was about to dawn.

The village was in chaos, women and children cried and hid, and a thousand young soldiers hid on both sides of the gate to shoot arrows, but fortunately, the terrain was dangerous, and the Song army could only kill from the gate.

The main attack on the gate was Cao Meng's fourth battalion, the third and fifth battalions assisted, commanded by the commander Han Shizhong, and Yan Qing led two hundred scouts from the back mountain to kill the enemy village as a surprise soldier.

"The third battalion broke the village, the third battalion and the fifth battalion covered with bows and crossbows, and attacked with drums!"

With Han Shizhong's order, the rumbling war drums at the foot of the mountain suddenly sounded, the drums shook the heavens and the earth, the formation of the Song army changed rapidly, from the assembly state to the offensive, two crossbow armies from the left and right, each with more than 1,000 people, running with bows and crossbows, rushing towards the enemy's walled gate.

The 1,000 spear infantry led by Cao Meng also advanced to the front, and they quickly lined up, with 30 people in a row, a total of 30 rows, holding large shields and spears in the sound of offensive war drums, step by step towards the Qiang Dazhai 200 steps away.

A mile away behind is the 6,000 Song army, spears like a forest, murderous, the army is neat, like waves undulating, stepping on the rhythm, under the leadership of the commander Li Yanqing, slowly advancing forward.
