Zhao Huaiyi didn't say any further.

Perhaps as the future king of Hezhou, he was reduced to an ordinary minister in the Song Dynasty, and his heart was lost. But what can be said, there are many Tibetans on the other side of the river, their families are in the Niche Valley, in Agancheng, and in Mabitshan, why did they let them surrender?

That's enough.

Many Tibetans were even more shaken, and He Bin shouted, "Go ashore." ”

The Song army suppressed the Tangut people with more powerful bows and arrows on the boat, and then landed ashore and charged the Tangut army. This battle is very similar to the battle of Miaochuan, it is still a battle of attacking the heart, maybe the domineering will not be exposed, but it is the most liked by Zhang Qi and Zheng Lang.

Liang Yongneng could not see the change in morale, and continued to forcefully order his subordinates to counterattack the Song army, after all, his forces still had an absolute advantage at this time.

He was very disappointed by the facts, and the two armies began to clash, because many of the Tubo people from the Niche Valley in the army wavered, which affected the combat effectiveness of the Tangut people. Seeing the soldiers fall one by one, some of the Tibetans began to flee.

Indeed, there was no need for them to die for the Tanguts.

On the Song army's side, on the contrary, some people fell, but others still moved forward. As most of the Song army landed on the riverbank, it was like a sharp knife stabbed into the chest of the Western Xia army.

Liang Gewei's subordinates began to rout.

It's a pity that He Bin has very few troops, and he still let Liang Gewei bring back more than 6,000 people. It's a helpless thing. But after this war, Liang Yongneng no longer dared to fight the idea of Hezhou. The battle situation is still in a stalemate, and the battle of Daxia River is only one of the small waves, and the thousands of casualties are compared to hundreds of thousands of people, and the extraordinarily large melee within a radius of thousands of miles is nothing.

The distant Yanzhou finally sent troops, at the request of Zheng Lang. He returned to Yanzhou. Sent troops to Jintang City.

This is also Zheng Lang's concern.

It's not a concern. Chong Ge will not have any bad intentions towards Zheng Lang, but is worried about Guo Kui, if Guo Kui defects to Han Qi, he may not send troops. Or the number of troops is very small, in either case, it will be very unfavorable to the future war.

The result was not very satisfying, nor was it too disappointing.

Guo Kui gave 10,000 elite soldiers. Attack Jintang City. At this time, a large number of Western Xia troops were also stationed in Jintangcheng to contain the Song army on the Yanyan Road. Zheng Lang didn't want to really fight, if he really fought, the scale of the war would expand, and with this year's situation, it was not very beneficial to the Song Dynasty. But the Western Xia side may not want to develop into this result. If you start a war on several sides, you may win a big victory, or you may lose all of them, but a big victory is good. But it is impossible to destroy the Song Dynasty. But if it is a complete defeat, then all the foundation of the Liang family will be in vain. It is better to focus on the two points of Xizhou and Guwei City. And it is a kind of famous murderer. Not to be underestimated.

In short, inside and outside the city of Chen Bing, the two armies will misfire at any time, but the two sides may not want to fight sincerely.

As for the other roads, Zheng Lang will not be too worried. He had a very good relationship with the Zhejia army, and Zhi Kexing obediently obeyed Zheng Lang's orders to go out of the desert and point his sword at Yinzhou. It's the same as the seed, it's a look, but it's real or fake. If the Western Xia divides the troops to the south and the troops are weak, Zhi Kexing does not mind the invasion of Yinzhou, and he can't occupy it, but he can calmly withdraw his troops after plundering Yinzhou. As for the Jintang City side, it is even worse, if the troops in the city are weak, the cultivators will never mind taking the opportunity to take the Jintang City. This city is very close to the security army, and it can be defended if it can be taken down, and it has always been like a sharp knife, inserted between the security army and Gyeongju, which makes the Song Dynasty very uncomfortable.

Wang Wenyu, the governor of Gyeongju, moved his troops in the direction of Daessoon City, pointing to Jintang City on the top and White Leopard City on the west. This person is not dazzling in the battle of Jingyuan Road, but he made his fortune in the first battle of Luowucheng on Linfu Road, and he is Han Qi's descendant, and his upper position is recommended by Han Qi, but his background is a little humble, and he does not dare to casually participate in the fight between the two bigwigs. Although Zheng Lang is in Guwei City, he has the right to take charge of the military, political and financial power of the entire northwest of Shaanxi, and Zheng Lang does not dare to disobey his orders.

Moreover, although his military talent is not as good as that of Zhi Kexing and Chong Ge, he is also at the level of Hebin, which is not weak, and he is enough to calmly deal with this stalemate situation.

The long border between the Song Dynasty and the Western Xia gave the Song Dynasty a headache, but it also gave the Western Xia a headache. No one knows who is holding back whom the two countries are arranging on the border.

Mainly in Jingyuan Road, as long as the Song army on Jingyuan Road is contained in Western Xia, it seems that there is at least a seven-point chance of victory, and if it cannot be contained, it may be a defeat for both sides.

Weizhou, two guests came. The first guest was Zhang Qi, and he also brought a holy decree to replace Li Suzhi, the governor of Weizhou, as the new Jingyuan Road to pacify the envoy of Weizhou, not that Li Suzhi was incompetent, he came to Weizhou for more than a year, and the territory was very stable. Even in terms of the ability to govern the locality, Li Suzhi is better than Zhang Ji. However, Li Suzhi was militarily weak, and Zheng Lang was afraid that Li Suzhi would make a mistake, so he suggested that Zhao Ji directly let Zhang Ji replace him.

It was a very secret decree that was not made public until this time.

In fact, even if it is made public, the Western Xia people may not care much, Zhang Qi is only the third person in the battle of Jingyuan Road, and no one pays attention to his role.

There is another person, who is even more mysterious.

The front was urgent, the handover was very fast, and Zhang Ji began to preside over the overall military and political situation of Jingyuan Road. In addition to Zhang Qi's airborne landing in Weizhou, there were many other arrangements. Of course, Li Suzhi is a minister of Zheng Lang's faction, and he will not misunderstand Zheng Lang's affairs, or deliberately leak secrets.

With Zhang Qi, he came to Deshun Military City.

Here he received a group of mysterious guests, more than two dozen old men. Then another guest was pushed out, and when the old men saw this person, they all fell down and wept silently: "Prince Gewa......"

This guest is Mu Zheng's son Gaiwa, but his current name is Zhao Bingyi.

The news of Zhang Qi's airborne landing in Weizhou is very secretive, and Zhao Bingyi's airborne landing in Weizhou is even more secretive.

And then it's easy.

In order to relieve the urgency of saving Guwei City, the Song Dynasty suddenly sent 50,000 troops from the Deshun army, and went straight to Huining Pass from Langgan City and Jingbian Village.

The leading generals are Zhou Yongqing and Chongyi, and the deputy generals are Yao Ji and Yan Da.

Yan Da, Zhang Yu and Zhou Yongqing are known to the Xixia people, and not many people may care about it, but they think that he relies on Zheng Lang to take the position. In fact, on the contrary, the most famous of the eight horses of the breeder is the seed, but the seed has many defects, such as being too ferocious. The biggest flaw is selfishness. Among the breeders. What Zheng Lang values most is not a kind of man. It's a kind of friendship, and it has nothing to do with the son-in-law.

This Song army came out very suddenly.

However, the Western Xia people continued to be negligent, and without him, Jingyuan Road was originally a heavy military area of the Song Dynasty. If you do stealth from other regions, you can draw out an army of 50,000. And there is also the risk of Huining Pass. The Shrine Valley was lost, and the Song Dynasty only had time to build Ganquan Fort and Tong'an Village on the front line of the Deshun Army, because Huining Pass was too far away from the cage city. Discarded. When Zheng Lang was running the northwest, Huining Pass was renovated and rejuvenated with the style of the ancient Xiongguan.

Originally, there were more than 10,000 Western Xia soldiers stationed in Ningguan to contain the Song army on Jingyuan Road, but when they heard that the Song army was attacking, they drew 5,000 troops from the rear, making the strength of this Xiongguan reach nearly 20,000, and then they didn't care anymore.

20,000 people are enough to guard Huining.

Moreover, under the attack of the Western Xia army, the walls of Guwei City were damaged in many places, if there was no Zheng Lang in the city. Boost morale, Gu Wei City has already been taken. Look. Guwei City can't hold on for much longer.

But it was not over, and then Zhang Kai personally went out again, leading Xiang Bao, Liu Zhongwu generals, as well as 20,000 Song troops, and 20,000 people who escorted weapons and materials, out of the cage city.

When the Tangut people realized that something was wrong, the two armies of Chongyi and Yanda were united and had come to Huining Pass.

Huining Guan's sister Le Baoxi has not yet received the news that Zhang Qi personally sent troops.

He only saw that soon after the Song army set up a large camp, he immediately came to Huining Pass with all kinds of siege equipment.

Sister Le Bao was complacent, he had the danger of Xiongguan, and he was not afraid of the attack of the Song army, and this Xiongguan was built by Zheng Lang with soldiers, which was undoubtedly a great irony for the Song people.

The flip starts here.

In terms of qualifications, there is undoubtedly the shallowest kind of friendship, but his identity is very special, Yan Da stood in front of the army and said: "I don't know if Guanzhong is ready?" ”

Chongyi said: "Attack first, then talk." ”

"Okay."

The two armies took out all kinds of artillery and crossbows together and aimed them at the head of the city. This bombardment caused some casualties among the soldiers of Hoeryongguan, but it was not fatal, and the walls of Huiningguan were tall and strong, and there were casualties, but they were not large.

Under the cover of bombardment fire and shield soldiers from the rear, the Song army slowly came to the river to lay a pontoon bridge.

In the Tang Dynasty, Huining Pass was extremely important, it was one of the eight passes, and it also had an extremely dazzling history, and it was the largest ferry port in the country in the Tang Dynasty for a period of time. It's not in Jiangnan, it's not in Guanzhong, it's in this Huining Pass. The original name is also called Wulanjin, in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Wulan County and Wulan Pass were placed on the side of the Yellow River, and Wulan Pass managed the Wulanjin Ferry. Because of its geographical location, the Tang Dynasty built the Huining Pass on the south bank of the Yellow River, and most of the goods between the Tang Dynasty and the Western Regions had to pass through here, and half of the goods and military supplies to Qinghai also had to pass through Ulanjin. Therefore, Huiningguan became an important transportation point in the Tang Dynasty and a place of four reaches. However, after the late Tang Dynasty, the glorious page of Huiningguan became a permanent history. In the Song Dynasty, the Yellow River bends directly to the northwest along the Rusha Valley, leaving only a small river here, and without the big river, Huining Pass loses its value and significance.

However, the Song Dynasty wanted to run Lanzhou, Huining Pass was still very important, because this area was almost all hilly and mountainous, sparsely populated, the existence of Huining Pass, can be used as an important transit station on the nearest Wulan Road from Weizhou to Lanzhou. But for Western Xia or Tibet, it has little significance.

If it weren't for Zheng Lang, this level would not have reappeared.

At sunset, it was time for dinner, and the Song army successfully erected more than a dozen improvised pontoon bridges. The main reason is that the Xixia people are unprepared, and there is a Yellow River on the west side of Huining Pass, although it is left as a small river, but if you erect a pontoon bridge on it, it will be very difficult. The east side of the moat was brought from this small river, but the construction of Huining Pass was to guard against the Western Xia people in the north, not to defend himself, so the scale of the moat was not large when Zheng Lang built it. After the Tangut people came to Huining Pass, they did not build much.

Now the difficulties of the Song army in erecting pontoon bridges have been alleviated. Some narrow places can even be crossed with moats. But in order to grab speed, the two did not prepare a trench bridge. But I'm going to make something else on the spot, stacking bridges. This is the invention of the Jin people in history, using wood to tie into a simple wooden raft to float on the water, covered with a layer of dry firewood, a layer of reed mats, and finally covered with mud. This method of stacking bridges and taking roads is not only cheap, easy to build, and has a very strong ability to resist strikes, and arrows and artillery cannot enter. Zheng Lang brought this technique to the northwest, and Wang Shao occasionally used it when he attacked Huangzhou.

But Chongyi saw that the Tangut people in the city did not move, and he didn't bother to make this kind of stacked bridge.

The pontoon bridge was paved, and the Song army, despite the fatigue of coming from a long distance, began to attack Huining Pass.

When my sister Le Baoxi saw it, she was very happy in her heart. If the Song army used artillery to shoot across the moat, Meile Baoxi would really be fine. But when he arrived in the city, Huining Guan had already prepared countless weapons to give the Song people a big surprise.

He didn't know the cost of artillery, and the artillery couldn't bombard Huiningguan, so he had to rely on the force to attack in the end.

The dense Song army arrived at Huining Pass.

Le Baoxi ordered her men to fight back, and countless rolling logs and stones fell along with arrows.

This time, the Song army finally suffered casualties.

But unlike the ancient Wei City, there are many Song soldiers here, not only there are 50,000 troops here, but there are also troops out of the cage city, so the Song army is very confident.

Gradually, various siege ladders were set up at the head of the city.

It was getting dark, but the two armies were fighting fiercely at the gates.

At this time, a small number of people in the Western Xia army huddled together, intentionally or unintentionally, looked at each other, and suddenly pulled up their weapons and killed their comrades.

This change made my sister Le Baoxi stunned, how could she kill her own family? (To be continued.) )
