Since Zhao Xiaoxi led the team to leave, Zhang Tingguang, who stayed in Lanzhou City, has been worried. Now, two days and two nights have passed, and the commander-in-chief of the campaign has not yet returned, and he is still somewhat restless.

Until today, as soon as the city gate of Lanzhou City was opened, a cavalryman who went out quickly entered the city and informed him that he was under the leadership of Zhao Xiaoxi. Already on the front line of Shiwa Village, the news of a thousand cavalry troops in Western Xia was completely annihilated.

At the same time, he also informed a news that made Zhang Tingguang, who had just been excited, immediately sweat profusely. That is, this bold county prince actually led people to cross the Yellow River at night to sneak attack the Western Xia cavalry camp with scarce troops.

I feel that this county prince still can't forget Zhang Tingguang, who specializes in using soldiers, and is naturally very worried about Zhao Xiaoxi's safety. Originally, it was planned to send a cavalry team of 1,000 people to the Yellow River to meet Zhao Xiaoxi and his party who had crossed the river.

Just when Zhang Tingguang was about to send a team of 1,000 people out of the city to respond, he heard cheers from outside the city, and only learned after asking. The cavalry who were left behind in Shiwa Village yesterday had already taken nearly 100 Western Xia cavalry prisoners into the city.

When he came out with his troops, he looked at the string of bloodstained heads, and the cheering people who followed the cavalry entering the city. Zhang Tingguang also knew that this was a big victory, a big victory that was indeed worthy of the cheers of the soldiers and civilians in the city.

Just when Zhang Tingguang was looking at the cavalry officers and soldiers who entered the city happily and the people. A cavalryman riding on a war horse and shouting 'urgent military information' galloped into the city again, appearing in front of Zhang Tingguang and the cavalry troops entering the city.

Realizing this emergency military situation is likely to come from the movements of Cho Hyo-seok's party. Zhang Tingguang immediately asked with a serious face: "What military situation?" ”

Seeing Zhang Tingguang's nervous expression, the cavalry, who seemed a little out of breath, took a few steps forward on his horse, and said in a voice that only Zhang Tingguang and the rest of the cavalry could hear: "General Zhang, General Zhao asked his subordinates to come back in advance to inform them that they are about to return to the city."

Let the general and the cavalry brothers not have to go out of the city to answer. In addition, he told me to inform the general to prepare to receive supplies and horses. In last night's battle, we not only wiped out the hundreds of cavalry left behind in the Western Xia camp.

And this battle did not lose a single soldier or horse, which can be described as another real big victory. Moreover, a large number of grain and grass stored in the camp by the Tangut people were captured, as well as thousands of excellent war horses.

Because the general didn't want this news to leak out. I was specifically asked to inform me in the form of an urgent military situation. Wait for the generals. They will also enter the city from the north gate, where the number of people is relatively small, and directly transport supplies and war horses into the city, and ask the general to prepare. ”

Hearing that Zhao Xiaoxi raided overnight, Western Xia established a cavalry camp on the other side of the Yellow River. Not a single soldier has been lost. The Western Xia cavalry marched and set up camp. Zhang Tingguang, who has a certain understanding, is also very unbelievable.

On the contrary, it was the other cavalry officers and soldiers who heard the news. I felt that this Lord Commander was really too powerful. Before this battle started, he first annihilated a thousand cavalry of the opponent, and also eliminated a cavalry battalion of the Tangut people.

The cavalry soldiers who were not lucky enough to come out of the camp to participate in this battle. Naturally, I am looking forward to it. After Zhao Xiaoxi returned to the camp this time, he could have a chance to go out of the camp with them. Can't let the cavalry of the Jinzi Battalion enjoy the merits of fighting against the Tanguts alone!

Since he learned that Zhao Xiaoxi and the cavalry were safe and sound, Zhang Tingguang naturally didn't need to send troops to respond, and soon personally took some people to the north gate of Lanzhou to wait. After a while, I saw a dusty scene outside the city gate.

With the appearance of the cavalry, almost each of whom escorted a few horses, the city defenders who were defending the city were startled before. If it weren't for Zhang Tingguang's explanation, the cavalry commander would have entered the city through the north gate. They didn't know it, but the sight of this scene sounded the alarm bell.

Looking at the cavalry army that was getting closer and closer to enter the city, many of them were stained with blood. I saw a scene of human heads hanging at the east gate before, and here again.

Compared with the east gate, there are more people and fewer empty horses, and the hundreds of cavalry entering the city at this moment are empty horses and many heads. But no matter what, watching these cavalry enter the city, everyone knows that this cavalry has fought a victory outside the city and returned to the city.

Although during this time, Lanzhou City implemented a very strict ban on the city. But many people still know that the number of cavalry in the city seems to be much more than in previous years. It's just that compared to the border cavalry that you usually see, this cavalry seems to be a little different.

At present, the head of many Fanbang cavalry is this Great Song cavalry whose temperament is different from that of the border cavalry. Although many people also want to know where this cavalry is. But to this day, the people in the city still have no way of knowing the origin of this cavalry.

As for the Western Xia outposts still lurking in the city, they also very much want to know the origin of this cavalry. It's a pity that some time ago, almost every city on the border had assassinations.

Some of the spy points they set up in the city were almost all wiped out by the assassins. Even some of the secret outposts that lived outside the city were all swept away by unknown people.

Now these Western Xia spies who are like frightened birds, still imagine that it is almost impossible to find out the information and transmission situation like before.

Often, as soon as they reveal the idea of finding out where this cavalry came from, they may disappear the next day, and they don't know where to go in Lanzhou City. This kind of ubiquitous fear made the Western Xia spies who had not yet been detected eager to bury themselves in the ground.

I didn't dare to act rashly as casually as before, and it became almost impossible to pass on the situation to the Western Xia Military Department. The reason for this situation was the joint action of Zhao Xiaoxi's Bu Yige and the military department.

In fact, many of these disappeared spies were naturally assassinated. But some of them were reversed and continued to pass on some false information or less important military information to Western Xia.

This kind of distortion in intelligence also made Western Xia plan to conduct a large-scale raid this year, and lost the intelligence support that was as stable as Mount Tai in the past. But the Xixia people, who had to send the arrows, just felt that the situation was a little wrong.

But he never thought that this year's Song Dynasty army planned to pit them fiercely. Let them know what it means to break their muscles and bones, and then they can be honest for a while.

Zhao Xiaoxi, who was wearing an ordinary cavalry uniform and riding in the middle of the team, no one would know about it at all. He is the commander of this cavalry army stationed in Lanzhou City, but he feels that he is an ordinary member of this cavalry team.

Only when the cavalry entering the city all entered the high-alert cavalry camp. Zhao Xiaoxi walked in front of the team, enjoying the cheers of the cavalry officers and soldiers. This is also the honor that you deserve as the commander of an army.

After explaining that all the cavalry who traveled with him in the past two days returned to the battalions, Zhao Xiaoxi looked at Zhang Tingguang who was worried. I also know that I am indeed a bit derelict in my duty when I go out as a commander.

It's just that Zhao Xiaoxi knows very well that on top of the big military layout, his level is far less powerful than Zhang Tingguang. How to say, this deputy commander of the cavalry is an elite general who has served as the commander of Yanmen Pass.

Zhao Xiaoxi, who returned to the handsome tent, took the initiative to admit the mistake of going out for two days this time, but Zhang Tingguang couldn't say anything. It's just that after admitting his mistake, I heard Zhao Hyo-seok say it very bluntly.

At present, in terms of overall command, he is not as good as Zhang Tingguang, the former commander of Yanmen Pass. Therefore, in this time against the imminent invasion of the Western Xia, Zhang Tingguang will serve more as the person who really arranges the troops.

As for Cho Hyo-seok, he is the executor and supervisor of the plan. These honest words, Zhang Tingguang was moved and felt pressured. After all, this is a big battle between Qin Fenglu and Western Xia!

Fortunately, Zhang Tingguang also knows that whether he can return to serve as the commander of the road in the future, he may be counting on today's battle. Soon, according to the information provided by Cho Hyo-seok, he also began to analyze the next direction of the war.

This time, the Tanguts were taken by surprise by the cavalry, wiped out a thousand cavalry, and also eliminated a large cavalry battalion. According to the usual character of the Tangut people, it is inevitable that they will send additional cavalry to invade the Song Territory to investigate the situation.

This also means that the battle fought yesterday may affect various reactions in the future. It's just that no matter what, Zhang Tingguang and Zhao Xiaoxi, who are aware of the rapidly changing situation on the battlefield.

Or decide to anticipate any eventuality. According to these anticipated situations, make corresponding preparations and arrangements. In order to be able to anticipate the enemy and be the first in the next confrontation with Western Xia.

With the intelligence support provided by Zhao Xiaoxi, as well as the full cooperation of the Qinfeng Road military land, Zhang Tingguang only needs to make corresponding arrangements according to the situation received at any time.

This strategic arrangement of coordinating all the way also made him re-experience the feeling of being in power. It's just that he knows very well that this power was given to him by Cho Hyo-seok. If he doesn't cherish it, this opportunity may not be there next time.

Zhang Tingguang, who cherished this opportunity, naturally burst out with unprecedented enthusiasm and rigorous attitude. Accompany Cho Hyo-seok to demonstrate various possibilities, as long as the two reach an agreement, this order will be issued by Cho Hyo-seok.

When Zhao Xiaoxi returned to Lanzhou City, preparing for the upcoming changes. The Western Xia convoy that had been stationed on the bank of the Yellow River for three days to transport supplies to the cavalry camp on the bank of the Yellow River found that the entire camp was quiet and a little scary.

Because of the thousand-man cavalry team that was annihilated, the thousand-cavalry general who made the decision to send troops did not consider that he would be completely annihilated in the territory of the Song Dynasty. I didn't think that even if he couldn't return to the barracks when the sun came out the next day, the cavalry who stayed behind would report the situation.

But now even the cavalry he took out to stay behind was given a pot by Zhao Xiaoxi. This also led to the fact that the Western Xia supply team, which had also entered a state of alert on the Western Xia border, did not know that this cavalry battalion had become a camp for people to go to empty tents one day before they arrived.

The cavalry officer, who was waiting to escort the supplies, felt that something was wrong with the situation and asked the motorcade to stop moving immediately. A cavalry was sent into the camp to search it, only to find that the entire camp was really empty.

There was no blood, no traces of war, and everything seemed very strange. This cavalry battalion with thousands of people was suddenly empty! What the hell is going on here? (To be continued......)
