The Xia army in Xingqing Mansion was like a flood that broke the embankment at this time, and Liu Yanqing was stationed outside the east gate with less than 40,000 soldiers under his command, how could he stop it. et

140,000 against 100,000, although the Song army has an advantage in numbers, but the advantage is not absolute, most of the 100,000 Xia troops stationed in Xingqing Mansion are elite existences, and the Song army will inevitably have a bloody battle when it enters Xingqing Mansion.

The small Xingqing Mansion is only eighteen miles away, but there are as many as 250,000 people on both sides, and in terms of population density and the scale of the war, it will really erupt into unimaginable tragedy.

In the seventh year of Taiping Xingguo (982), Li Jitou was forced to enter the court under pressure from the clan, and handed over the five states of Xia, Sui, Yin, You, and Jing, Li Jiqian and his younger brother Li Jichong, his cronies Zhang Pu and others organized the party departments to rebel against the Song Dynasty, and then sent Zhang Pu to Liao with heavy coins, and expressed his willingness to join the Liao Shengzong to obtain the support of Liao.

There are countless wars like this kind of scene in history, facing the situation of no retreat, the lethality of the Xia army to the Song army is huge, and Lotte has to surround the three queyi, but how can it be so calculating to surround the three queyi, Liu Fa, the seed master Dao, and Liu Zhongwubu are all willing to obey Lotte's dispatch, but Liu Yanqing of the Yan Road is unwilling to obey Lotte's command out of selfishness.

The four-way army had to refrain from listening to Lotte's dispatch all the way, which naturally increased the difficulty of Lotte's command of the battle, and there were many more variables. In fact, when he met with Yan Yanlu, Lotte thought that Liu Yanqing, who had a close relationship with Tong Guan, would not cooperate with his dispatch, and would even make a big problem for himself.

How to turn the disadvantage into an advantage, it really took a lot of brains for Lotte, and he thought of Wai Sanque Yi very happily, since Liu Yanqing didn't cooperate with himself, he didn't say it, and he also intended to embarrass himself, and he didn't mind throwing a pot on his back.

Surrounding three queyi, the ancients are the same as "missing", this lack is placed here in Liu Yanqing, Lotte used sand to surround the gate of Xingqing Mansion before, that is, to throw this gap to Liu Yanqing, the Western Xia army broke through from the east gate of Xingqing Mansion, not only became Lotte's idea of encircling three queyi, but also made Liu Yanqing defeat and not reach the Western Xia army's pot, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

The soldiers and horses of the Yanyan Road and the rout who escaped from Xingqing Mansion fought for nearly two hours, some people were originally sleepy and lacking horses, but at this moment they encountered the iron harrier from the city and how could they stop it, the army formation was immediately crushed by the iron harrier, and the barracks were then broken by the iron harrier, and then the proton army escorted Li Qianshun and the Western Xia to the royal family, nobles and ministers, and broke through the Song army camp and went north.

The vast majority of the soldiers and horses on the Yan Road are foot soldiers, and the cavalry of more than 2,000 people is full of more than 2,000 people, how dare they collide with the more than 20,000 cavalry guarding Li Qianshun's side, and they bluffed behind and chased a few miles and retreated, these people don't want to be killed by the Xia army.

After running for more than ten miles, Li Qianshun and the royal family of Western Xia were relieved to see that there was no Song army chasing behind them.

Seventy miles north of Xingqing Mansion is Dingzhou, and further north is the Right Chamber, Chaoshun Military Division and Baima Qiangzhen Military Division, and further north there is the Black Mountain Weifu Military Division, which has not been used, in Li Qianshun's view, although the Song army is full of tricks, limited by the rear supply conditions and the severe cold season in the northwest, after capturing Xingqing Mansion, there will definitely be no possibility of marching northward.

In Li Qianshun's view, although there was a large amount of grain and grass in Xingqing Mansion, a fire was almost burned at this time, and the Song army captured Xingqing Mansion was also an empty city, and it would even retreat in a few days.

As long as he arrived at the safest right wing of the Chaoshun Military Division, he could gather the defeated army for a little rest, and then gather the Black Mountain Weifu Military Division and the Heishui Town Yan Military Division from the north, while the Jin King could collect the Gansu Military Division, the Xiping Military Division and the troops of Shazhou, Liangzhou, and Suzhou from the south, and once again encroach on the Western Xia land occupied by the Song army.

When Li Jizhong entered the Song Dynasty and was detained by Song Taizong, his grandfather Li Jiqian was able to take a cannibalization strategy to take back the five states of Xia, Sui, Yin, You, and Jing that were originally in the hands of the Song people, and later occupied Lingzhou, an important town in the northwest, and then through the struggle of two generations of Taizong Li Deming and Li Yuanhao, directly occupied the entire territory of Hengshan, Li Qianshun believed that his ancestors could do it, and he could do it.

When Li Qianshun was planning the plan to restore the country, a black and oppressive army in front appeared in the field of vision, which surprised the Western Xia soldiers who had just escaped from the encirclement of the Song army, but when they saw the soldiers and horses on the opposite side, the soldiers in the front were all cavalry, and they were also heavy cavalry, and the armor they wore was exactly the same as the iron harrier of their own country, and even at first glance it made people think that it was the iron harrier of Western Xia.

These hoplite cavalry on the opposite side not only looked like iron harriers, but they were themselves equipped with iron harriers, but they played the banner of the Great Song Dynasty.

Seeing the heavy cavalry of the Song army, even the elite iron harriers of the Xia army can't help but be a little frightened, this is of course for a reason, although the Song army lacks horses, but the Song army cavalry is the elite of the Song army, and even when the same number of Song cavalry, the Song army cavalry can crush the same number of Xia army and Liao army.

Shi Jingjiao claimed that the emperor dedicated the sixteen states of Youyun, the land of horse-production, to the Liao, and the horse-producing Hetao was divided between the Western Xia and the Liao State, and the horse-producing Corridor was also under the control of the Western Xia, and the Uighurs who produced horses were blocked by the Western Xia; It is precisely because of the lack of horses that the Song army can be selected as cavalry, and they are all elite soldiers, and the quality of the cavalry is naturally high.

The leader of this cavalry is none other than a seed master with a small kind of experience, at this moment, the seed master looked at the Xia army in front of him with a smile on the corner of his lips, and then waved his hand: "Whoever catches Li Qianshun, the lord of Xia State, will be rewarded!" ”

The sound fell, the sound of horses' hooves roared, and the heavy cavalry broke through Li Qianshun's Western Xia army, and 5,000 light cavalry outflanked Li Qianshun's army on the left and right.

Just out of the wolf's den, and into the tiger's mouth!

In a hurry, the Western Xia army had to fight.

The collision between the hoplite cavalry and the hoplite cavalry can not be described as fierce, but the word tragic is the most appropriate, the shouting and killing sound and the impact of horses, blades, and armor are intertwined, and the blood and sword light and sword shadows shine with their respective light under the light of the morning sun, and under the backdrop of the snow on the earth, it looks poignant and magnificent.

Every scream represents the death of a life, and the death of the master makes the war horse hover next to the owner's corpse, and the neighing is full of sorrow.

Although the three thousand iron harriers are the elite of the Western Xia army, the iron harriers are not suitable for long-distance trekking, let alone long-term battles due to their own load, which is the defect of the heavy cavalry, while the eight thousand cavalry of the Song army are to work for Yi, which shows how much advantage there is.

In the face of the impact of the cavalry of the Song army, even the combat effectiveness of the five thousand proton army at this time was stronger than that of the iron harrier, but the five thousand proton cavalry was only barely able to cope with the left and right blocks, and how could they withstand the impact of the Song army, and soon the formation of the Western Xia army was in chaos.

After rushing the Iron Harrier, the Song army rode heavily and pointed directly at Li Qianshun, who was protected by the Iron Harrier and the Proton Army, and a number of Western Xia royal nobles and ministers.

The guards guarding these royal families, nobles and ministers were only high in personal force, and they were okay to deal with ordinary assassins, and they could not match the real fighting army at all, and soon most of them were killed and wounded under the impact of the Song army, but these guards were very loyal and still desperately resisted the Song army.

The army pays attention to cooperating with each other to kill, and the personal guards only focus on defending and protecting the safety of the master just to deal with the assassins, although the two are an attack and a defense, but if the essence is far from the same, plus the personal guards are not even in order, although they can resist for a while, how can they withstand the crushing of the light and heavy cavalry of the Song army.

The 8,000 Song army used Yi to do the work and attacked the 20,000 tired divisions of Western Xia, but it did not take much effort.

Seeing that the guards who were guarding him were killed by the Song army in pieces because they were not supported, everyone knew that they had reached a life-and-death juncture in front of them, "Your Majesty, disperse and break through!" ”

If it continues like this, maybe he and his children and these bloodlines of the Western Xia royal family will be wiped out by the Song army, and Li Qianshun will make a decision: "Protect the crown prince and the princes to break through separately!" ”

The rest of the Iron Harriers opened the way, the generals of the Proton Army led the elite guards, and Li Qianshun gathered the most elite elites of Western Xia around him, and rushed towards the north under the fierce killing.

Seeing Li Qianshun's team running north, the generals around him said to the planter: "Handsome man, he is incompetent, Li Qianshun ran north!" ”

"Ran!" The planter frowned, and his voice immediately became cold: "Leshu skillfully applied frequently, you even ran away with Li Qianshun......

"Incompetent!" Hearing what the planter said, the general got busy.

"If you run away from Li Qianshun, it may be that the sky will not kill him!" The seed master shook his head and sighed, and then his voice became cold: "If these princes and nobles, princes, princes, and princesses of the Xia people, if you can't take it anymore, then you don't need to say more?" ”

The general hurriedly said: "If you can't take these people, you will definitely come to see them!" ”

After the general retreated to supervise the battle, the planter laughed, brushed his long hair and said: "The old man, this official, is the best to pacify the envoy, and it is impossible to think about himself in the future, and this military merit will be left to ......the future generations."

……

The iron harrier opened the way, and a thousand proton troops followed him, rushing left and right with all his might, and Li Qianshun finally escaped from the tail pursuit of the Song army.

After galloping all the way, the iron harrier wearing heavy armor was exhausted at this time, and even some war horses were physically exhausted, and their mouths began to spit out white foam, and there was a possibility of running away if they ran down.

When Li Qianshun ordered to dismount and rest, he saw another group of men and horses appear in front of him, and what made Li Qianshun even more frightened was that this army was still the Song army, and the scale should be no less than 10,000 people.

At this moment, not only Li Qianshun's face was pale, but also the soldiers under his command were also pale, the soldiers were surprised that the Song army suddenly appeared, and Li Qianshun was surprised that the Southern Dynasty could use troops like this.
