The 50,000 Xixia troops stationed on the west bank of the Tanglai Canal were encamped for more than 20 miles, and it can be seen that torches are lit at night, and sergeants patrol back and forth.

"In the early winter of October, the weather is so warm, and the south wind is rising, I think it will snow in the next two days!" The military division of Baima Qiang Town is the commander of the army, and he said with a smile, "God will help me destroy this Song army in Great Xia!" ”

"What the Lord of the Metropolitan Army said is extremely true!" The deputy commander next to him also nodded, and then his eyebrows and eyes were full of disdain: "In the past, the two brothers in the planting master and the two brothers in the planting division had a lot of strategies with Liu Zhongwu, but today they see it at first sight, and the victory is all based on conspiracy and trickery. ”

The military envoy sitting next to him also said: "If it weren't for the water irrigating Xiping Mansion (Lingzhou), how could it hit Shunzhou, and now the Yellow River has flooded the land south of Jingzhou, blocking our army from besieging in three ways, but God opened his eyes, and it didn't freeze after the snow, and my army surrounded the Song army on three sides, and I would let the Song people be wiped out in my country without leaving behind, and all the people of the Shidao, the Seed Division, and Liu Yanwu and others would be captured......"

The words fell, and laughter erupted in the handsome tent.

100,000 against 70,000, equal to three to two, the Western Xia people have an advantage in strength, and the Song army is a lone army on a long road, and they have a heart of victory.

……

Tanglai Canal stretches for more than 600 miles from Qingtong Gorge, there are more than 500 large and small channels, hundreds of thousands of acres of irrigated fields, the widest place is nine zhang, the narrowest place is less than two zhang, in the narrow place, the Song and Xia armies are sent soldiers to guard, in case the other side launches a surprise attack.

The Song army, who was responsible for opening the road during the day, had prepared the pontoon bridge, and when the sky was completely dark, the two pontoon bridges were successfully built in a short time.

Under the cover of night, under the leadership of Qu Duan, 3,000 elite soldiers of Jingyuan Road silently crossed the pontoon bridge and came to the west bank of Tanglai Canal; At the same time, Liu Qi also led 3,000 men and horses on Huanqing Road to the confrontation between the two armies of Song and Xia.

Soon, the two armies that robbed the camp arrived at the preset incubation area, and at the same time, Qu Duan and Liu Qi were also measuring the direction of the wind, and even pinched a handful of sweat, for fear that the south wind would suddenly turn around and fall short.

It was night, not only Qu Duan and Liu Qi, but also Lotte, Seed Master Dao, Seed Master Zhong, Liu Zhongwu and others also raised their hearts to their throats, this battle is related to the future situation, but also related to the lives of everyone, how can they not be nervous.

From Baimaqiang Town Military Division is more than 500 miles away from Xingqing Mansion, in order to understand the crisis situation of Xingqing Mansion, 30,000 horses and horses have been very tired all the way to the forced march, in order to wait for the men and horses of the Jianing Military Division, although they rested in Xingqing Mansion for two days, but the state of people and horses can not recover for a while.

At that time, most of the soldiers in the summer army camp except for the soldiers patrolling and guarding, they were asleep, and the soldiers who had been marching for several days had exhausted them, and at this time it had already entered midnight, and most of the soldiers guarding around the camp had begun to doze off, and the soldiers on patrol were listless.

When the time came, Lotte felt the wind coming from the south, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and silently said in his heart Thank God for not changing the direction of the wind.

"Light up!"

led 3,000 elite soldiers to ambush in the grass, Qu Duan estimated that he was also relieved when he arrived, and ordered his subordinates to give orders softly.

Three thousand people, each carrying three Kong Ming lanterns, received Qu Duan's order at this time to start flying the first wave of Kong Ming lanterns.

Gently rub the iron sheet, so that the iron sheet heated, the match issued by the general on the iron sheet, immediately burned, there with the soldiers to take the torch stained with fire oil to ignite, one after another to light the Kong Ming lantern in front of him, only to see the Kong Ming lantern in front of him slowly rise, along the south wind to the northern Xia army camp drift away.

Not only the 3,000 soldiers on the west bank of the Tanglai Canal released the Kong Ming lantern, but also the 3,000 soldiers on the Huanqing Road in the north also released the Kong Ming lantern, slowly drifting towards the north.

One west and one north, there are 3,000 Kong Ming lanterns floating in the sky, and the sky is full of lanterns, and the scene can be described as spectacular.

Lotte, Seed Master Dao, Seed Master, and Liu Zhongwu stood on the city wall of Shunzhou, watching this scene, and there was no amazement at the spectacular scene in their hearts, but they just quietly watched the appearance of the next scene, whether it could fall into the camp of the summer army as Lotte expected, and cause a fire in the camp of the summer army, thus causing chaos in the camp of the summer army.

There are 10,000 Kong lanterns in each of the two ambushes, which are released in three waves, which can be said to be overwhelming.

……

"What's that in the sky?"

Sergeant Xia, who was dozing off, suddenly woke up, saw the Kong Ming lantern floating in the sky from Nanyan, and immediately woke up his companion.

"Sleeping Zhengxiang......" The companion who was shaken awake was very dissatisfied, and when he saw the Kong Ming lantern floating from the south, he was quickly shocked: "My God, what is this!" ”

"The scriptures say that when the gods and Buddhas come, there will be out-of-phase ...... between heaven and earth," said Xia Bing before.

"Isn't it the Buddha who has come......" The soldier rubbed his eyes, and then "fluttered" and fell to the place, exhaling a string of names of the gods and Buddhas in the sky.

The shouts of the Xia soldiers woke up the nearby soldiers, and when they saw the natural visions of lanterns all over the sky, the Western Xia people who had set Buddhism as the state religion immediately bowed down and recited the Buddha's name in their mouths.

One woke up two, two woke up four, and the sleeping Zhengxiang soldiers were woken up geometrically, and at the same time bowed to the Kong Ming lantern floating in the air.

"What happened?" Hearing the soldiers outside chanting the name of the gods and Buddhas and the blessing of the Buddha, located in the west and north of Shunzhou, the two major commanders of the Xia Army, the two major commanders of the army, Huala, and Hualachi had just fallen asleep, and they were shocked when they heard the sound outside.

When I saw the Kong Ming lanterns in the sky, I was also shocked.

At this time, the soldiers of the Xia army who were guarding outside the tent were also worshipping on the ground, and when they heard the question of the commander of the capital army, they hurriedly replied: "If you return to the words of the Lord of the capital army, the gods and Buddhas have appeared......

"The gods and Buddhas have appeared?"

Looking at the lights in the sky, the eyes of these two Western Xia commanders were incredulous.

In order to prevent the Xia army from discovering the clues, the master and the others chose to let the soldiers and horses lurk and release the Kong Ming lanterns, which was still some distance away from the Xia army camp.

The garrison of the two armies of the Western Xia Dynasty ranged from 20 to 30 miles away from Shunzhou City, and the Kong Ming lantern floating in the night sky was very conspicuous; In addition, because it was late at night, standing on the city wall, the Xia army camp in the distance was lit with lanterns and torches, which made the entire Xia army camp also eye-catching, so that Lotte stood on the top of the city and saw the outline clearly.

Staring at the outline of the Xia army's military camp in the distance, the seed master nodded slightly: "Although the Xia people's right wing Chaoshun Military Division and Baima Qiangzhen Military Division are stationed in the northern border of Xia Kingdom, there are very few wars, but the generals in this army are good at governing the army, the large battalion is stationed with roots and roots, and the five armies are dependent on each other to watch each other, and they can be regarded as a general who can attack and defend!" ”

Looking at the Kong Ming lantern in the distance, Liu Zhongwu's face was a little anxious: "At this time, these Kong Ming lanterns should also fly over the Xia army camp, why don't there be lanterns falling?" ”

Staring at the Kong Ming lantern in the sky, Lotte said: "As long as 10,000 lanterns fall into the Xia army's military camp, it is enough to cause the Xia army's panic, and if it causes a fire, it is more conducive to the soldiers who rob the camp to fish in the water!" ”

Not only Liu Zhongwu, the two brothers of the seed master Dao and the seed master were also very dignified, and after staring at the Kong Ming lantern in the distance for half a sound, the seed master slowly spoke: "The two marshals, if these Kong Ming lanterns can't get the results originally envisaged, the army will be withdrawn according to the original plan, and we will have to think of other ways!" ”

When Liu Zhongwu and Seed Master Dao heard this, they glanced at each other, and nodded in unison, the six thousand men and horses who went to rob the camp were not worth mentioning in front of the 100,000 army, and such huge casualties were not enough for Liu Zhongwu and Seed Master Dao.

Not long after the words of the Seed Master Dao fell, I saw a Kong Ming lantern in the sky suddenly turn into a fireball, dragging a long flame light towards the station of the Xia army camp.

There was the first and there was a second person, and soon the Kong Ming lanterns that were floating in the sky suddenly burned, turning into burning fireballs and falling.

When the soldiers of Xia, who were worshipping the Buddha and praying, looked up at the sky again, they saw that the lanterns in the sky suddenly turned into fireballs and fell from the sky......

The south wind was still blowing slowly, just as the so-called fire borrowed the wind, and at the same time, the wind also borrowed the fire, and the burning tents, grain and grass and other things immediately burned, and the fire became bigger and bigger, and began to spread to the side......

This scene almost appeared at the same time in the two military camps of the Xia army stationed in the west and north of Shunzhou.

"Is this the Buddha punishing us?" Seeing such a scene, a group of soldiers who believed in Buddhism couldn't help but exclaim.

"Punish the fart, go put out the fire!" After experiencing the initial consternation, the commanders of the Xia army, Hua Buer, and Hua Lachi, who were on the western and northern sides, scolded angrily almost at the same time, and stretched out their feet to kick the soldiers around them.

"It's out of the water, put out the fire......"

At this time, the soldiers in the Xixia military camp were like waking up from a big dream, and they went to the objects containing water to put out the fire.

The direction of the wind has not changed, and the two sneak attack teams released 20,000 Kong Ming lanterns, most of which fell into the camp of the Xia army.

"When the Xia people opened the gate to get water, they followed my orders to attack!" Seeing that there was a fire in the camp of the Xia army, Qu Duan and Liu Qi, who were the forward commanders of the two raiding camps, issued orders to their subordinates almost at the same time.

In order to put out the fire, the soldiers and soldiers of the army opened the wooden wall surrounding the barracks, and ordered their soldiers to go out of the barracks to Tanglai Canal to get water to extinguish the fire.

The destruction of grain and grass in the army means that the Western Xia is ruined, how dare the Xia army who has been ordered to be lazy for half a point, and immediately open the gate of the village and carry buckets and water bladders to Tanglai Canal or Hanyuan Canal to get water.

"Kill......"

Just when the big finger Xixia soldiers ran to the Tanglai Canal to get water, Qu Duan and Liu Qi, the commanders of the two robbery camps, opened their mouths and gave orders almost at the same time, and the two led their respective 3,000 robbery camp soldiers to rush towards the Xia army camp.

When they arrived at the distance of more than 100 steps from the summer army camp, the archer who was responsible for firing the gunpowder bag ignited the gunpowder bag tied to the arrows and shot the arrows out, and these arrows fell on the wooden walls of the summer army camp, and in the rumbling loud noise, the wooden walls used to resist the enemy were blown to pieces.
