The governor of the Gansu military department is called Yingting, is the eldest son of the military department Shangshu Yinggui, about 30 years old, in the army for more than ten years, and the Song army has fought countless battles, and is also an experienced veteran, he originally followed Richard to suppress the rebellion of all ethnic groups in Hexi, and at the same time forced them to pay a sudden increase in taxes several times, after Richard returned to Xingqing Mansion, he commanded the 20,000 Western Xia army in Hexi.

Yingting has received a new order, so that he immediately led the army to Huizhou to block the Song army's western route army to the north, this order was issued by the Son of Heaven himself, he did not dare to slack off, led 20,000 people from Ganzhou all the way south.

On the morning of this day, Ying Ting led 20,000 cavalry to Lingbo Town, which is the only way to go north in Huizhou, Lingbo Town is a small town at the foot of Lingbo Mountain, because of the special traffic location and appeared, here is a three-way crossing, and the caravan going north is here. You will be faced with a choice, either go west to the Hexi Corridor or go north to Xingqing Province.

Ying Ting didn't meet the Song army all the way, and then a hundred miles forward is the Yellow River, and the other side is the Song Realm, how can the Song army only walk a hundred miles these days, did they kill Xingqing Mansion?

This is the most likely, but the warrant of the Son of Heaven is to annihilate the Song army by himself and keep the five states of Hexi, if he leaves Hexi, I am afraid that the Son of Heaven will not spare himself.

But they obviously came from the Hexi Corridor, and the Song army didn't go to Hexi, where would they go?

Just when Ying Ting was sad and didn't know what to do, the Gansu Military Department suddenly came with news that a Song army of tens of thousands of people appeared in Ganzhou.

This news made Ying Ting stunned for a while, and after a while, he realized that Song Jun must be going to the big fight, and only in this way can Song Jun make a mistake with him.

Ying Ting was very angry in his heart, the Gansu Military Department still had a large number of tax sheep that had not been sent to Xingqing Mansion, and now all of them had become the pockets of the Song army.

Anger turned into anger, Ying Ting still had no choice but to order a retreat, and he led 20,000 troops to rush back to Ganzhou in the starry night......

That night, 20,000 Western Xia cavalry passed through Pingliang Mountain, which was already the north of Liangzhou, and there was an endless grassland in front of them, and the army had been running for two days and one night, and the soldiers were exhausted, and the war horses could not support it.

Ying Ting also knew that he couldn't save the military secretary if he went back, so he ordered the whole army to rest on the spot and set off after dawn.

The soldiers dismounted and fell to the ground to rest, allowing the horses to graze around, and there was no place to tie the horses on the grassland.

The night was getting deeper and deeper, and the soldiers also fell into a deep sleep, at this time, a group of Western Xia cavalry came to the west, about twenty people, and the war horses were carrying large bags, and the outer sentry asked from afar: "Who is it?" ”

"We are from Xingqing Mansion, and the Son of Heaven has an important order for the Governor of Yingdu!"

The soldier at the head spoke fluent Tangut and held a gold medal aloft.

After a moment, two sentry stepped forward and asked, "Where is the order?" We'll hand it over to the Governor! ”

The leading soldier took out a leather cylinder and handed it to the sentry, and said: "In addition, there is an edict, you need to tell the governor in person, there are twenty of us, and each of us will remember a sentence." ”

This is a way for the Tangut people to pass on important information, taking the information apart and telling different people, and after arriving at the destination, everyone repeats it, and the information is combined again, so that even if one or two people are caught on the way, the information will not be leaked.

The sentry took the tiger scalp tube and nodded, "You come with me!" ”

The sentry led the way, and the twenty messengers glanced at each other, speeding up their horses to keep up with the sentry.

They passed three sentry posts in a row, and when they came to the place where the soldiers were resting, they saw that the ground was full of sleeping soldiers, and their horses grazing quietly around them.

"The governor is in the big tent in front of you, so dismount! Search before you can pass. ”

The twenty messenger soldiers looked at each other and nodded at the same time, and they suddenly turned around and ran in both directions.

The sentry was taken aback, "What do you do?" ”

He shouted, "Stop the people in front!" ”

At this time, the twenty soldiers took out the fire breaker and lit the large bag behind the horse, and a rope was exposed in the large bag, so that it would be convenient to start the fire, and they immediately threw the large bag off the horse's back, turned around, and ran to the periphery.

They only ran two hundred steps away, and there was an earth-shattering explosion behind them, and there were twenty explosions in a row, which was an eighty-pound explosion-type earth-shaking thunder, which became the king of earth-shaking thunder with powerful lethality and explosion, and the whole earth trembled, and tens of thousands of war horses were frightened, and they screamed and began to gallop towards the grassland in the distance.

The explosion was also the sound of the soldiers waking up from their sleep, and countless people covered their ears in pain, they were deaf from the impact of the powerful explosion.

At this time, Du Du Anting rushed out of the big tent and shouted, "What's the matter? ”

"I don't know why, it seems that someone came to deliver information and something happened."

At this moment, the earth trembled again, and a black line appeared several miles away, and the overwhelming cavalry slaughtered in this direction.

An Ting was shocked and shouted urgently: "Get on the horse and fight!" ”

Soon, the soldiers shouted: "The horse is frightened, I don't know where it has gone?" ”

An Ting realized that the explosion just now was to scare the war horses away, the Song army's strategy was simply too incredible, but it just hit their vital point, without the war horses, these cavalry may not even be able to fight.

In desperation, he had to shout: "Quickly retreat and assemble in the woods!" ”

There was a large forest behind them a few miles away, but as soon as he finished speaking, a low horn suddenly sounded behind him, "Woo-"

I saw countless Qiang cavalry killed from the woods not far away, roaring and killing them.

At this time, 20,000 cavalry of the Song army also arrived, and the Western Xia soldiers without war horses were in a mess, and quickly collapsed, each of them fled in all directions without their lives, and the cavalry of the Song army, the cavalry of the Qiang people and the cavalry of the Black Dangxiang were covered behind, and the entire grassland became a place of massacre.

.........

At dawn, the war finally ended, the frightened horses of the Western Xia army were almost intercepted by the Song army on the periphery, the grassland was full of killed Western Xia soldiers, the blood stained the grassland red, the wild wolves smelled the bloody breath and howled in the distance, and a large number of crows and eagles appeared in the sky, hovering in the air.

In this battle, more than 18,000 Western Xia soldiers were killed, the main general Yingting also died in the chaos, and the Song army and Qiang suffered less than 1,000 casualties, most of which were mainly wounded and very few killed.

The 20,000 Western Xia troops in the Hexi Corridor were completely annihilated, which meant that the Hexi Corridor fell into the hands of the Song army, Liu Tao left 10,000 troops to defend Liangzhou, and he led 20,000 troops to continue to march in the direction of Suzhou.

．．．．．．．

After several days of rapid marching, Li Yanqing's 100,000 army has arrived in Lingzhou, Lingzhou is Xiping Mansion, the last time Li Yanqing captured Xiping Mansion, Western Xia began to sue for peace.

Xiping Mansion can be said to be the entrance to Xingqing Mansion, seize Xiping Mansion, the following is the throat Jingzhou, if you capture Jingzhou again, you will directly come to the city and arrive at Xingqing Mansion, the heart of Western Xia.

In order to keep Xiping Mansion, Li Gan ordered the 30,000 troops of Weizhou to withdraw north to Xiping Mansion, and abandoned Weizhou, Xianyikou and Ta Cut Village.

After the 40,000 troops who feinted to attack the Hulushui Grand Canyon discovered that the Western Xia army had retreated northward, they rushed north under the leadership of Liu Tie, and successively captured the Xiangyikou, Taqizhai and Weizhou, and joined Li Yanqing's army under the city of Lingzhou, so that the total number of Song troops under the city of Lingzhou reached as many as 140,000.

Li Yanqing ordered a large camp under Lingzhou City and waited for the order to attack the city.

The camp of the Song army stretched for more than 20 miles, the momentum was huge, early in the morning, Liu Jian took a man to hurriedly come to the front of the Chinese army's big tent, he said to the soldiers outside: "Please report to the capital, just say that the person has been found." ”

"Wait, General!"

The soldiers quickly entered the tent, and came out after a moment and said, "All the generals are invited to enter!" ”

Liu Jian asked the man to wait for a while, and he advanced to the big tent, only to see Li Yanqing standing on a huge map of Western Xia, and planted a red flag on it with great interest.

"Are all the generals rejoicing in the war report in Hexi?"

"Of course!"

Li Yanqing said with a smile: "Hexi has been captured, Liu Jingluo's merits are high, I want to report to the official family and ask the official family to reseal Liu Jingluo." ”

"But the credit of the capital is even greater!"

"I'm not done yet! Maybe the Western Xia will reverse, there is information that the Western Xia has gathered more than 100,000 troops, plus the original garrisons of Xiping Mansion and Xingqing Mansion, it is almost 200,000, and our vicious war has just begun. ”

"I'm sure we'll win!"

Liu Jian smiled at Li Yanqing again: "The person that Dutong is looking for, I have found it in Shunzhou, and now he is outside the tent." ”

"Invite him in!"

After a while, the middle-aged man walked in and bowed, "Villain Yang Zhaofang, see Li Jingluo!" ”
