Zhang Qi uses soldiers, usually a combination of Zhengqi. Regular soldiers need strength, and strange soldiers need timing.

Now the time has not come, in order to keep Huanzhou, he can only fight with regular soldiers.

In two days, he fought more than ten battles with Wei Ming Ah Wu, and he did not stop at night, attacking the camp and harassing him night and night, making the Xia army sleepless and exhausted.

Although Wei Ming Ah Wu also sent people to Zhang Ji's camp to harass, but obviously Zhang Qi had already guarded against this, his camp was built according to Forrest Gump Mountain, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the Xia army went to harass with little effect, often only causing some commotion in Qianzhai.

After two nights of harassment and warfare, early on the morning of the third day, Zhang Kai ordered 50,000 troops to attack bravely and fight with 70,000 Xia troops at the foot of Forrest Gump Mountain.

Wei Ming Ah Wu dispatched 10,000 iron harriers, trying to charge the Song army with heavy cavalry, forcing back the Song army, and even crushing it in one fell swoop; Zhang Qi resisted with heavy infantry wearing foot armor, and then bombarded with a divine arm bow and a cluster grenade, but the iron harrier suffered heavy losses, forcing Wei Ming Ah Wu to retreat.

Zhang Qi pressed step by step, and forced to the old estuary five miles away from Huanzhou.

At this point, the 50,000 reinforcements of Jingyuan and Qin Feng were really connected with Huanzhou, and the Xia army attacked Huanzhou, and they had to face Zhang Ji's attack from the flank.

In terms of Xihe Road, after the fortifications of Luosaling were almost completed, Yao Xiong advanced rapidly, and was ambushed by the Western Xia horse Gangluo at Rouwolf Mountain, and Gangluo's army suddenly rushed down from the mountain, cutting the Xihe army into two sections at once.

The Xihe army was worthy of the title of Wang Shao's legion, and it was not chaotic in the face of ambushes, but desperately attacked from both sides.

Usually when the army is ambushed, the morale of the army is disordered, and if it is cut again, the situation on both sides is unknown, and it will soon collapse.

Kexi River Army No!

They maintain the tough style of Wang Shao's era, they are proud, they are strong, they despise all enemies!

After being suddenly cut into two pieces, their first reaction was not to flee, but: the one who suffered a thousand cuts is finally here!

They rushed up from both sides with a scream, but instead they became a two-sided attack.

Xia Jun was caught in the middle, like dumpling filling, squeezed, pressed, and ravaged, from ambush to being flanked, this transformation was so fast, so fast that he was going crazy!

The Xia army was 10,000 and the Xihe army was 20,000, which was originally less than half; Then pounced by this group of bloodthirsty wolves from both sides, Xia Jun could not support a pillar of incense kung fu, and collapsed, where did he come from and where did he go back, but unfortunately it was easy to go down the mountain at this time, and the four-legged uphill was usually slower than the two-legged one.

Of the 10,000 horses, only 6,000 escaped in the end, and there were no horses!

This is not over, dare to ambush Lao Tzu, I want you to look good, because there are many bushes and bushes after escaping up the mountain, most of the Xia army abandoned their horses and fled, now everyone is infantry, Yao Xiong, a ruthless man, chased and killed for two hundred miles, from Rouwolf Mountain all the way to Tiandu Mountain!

Two hundred miles! Is this a human thing?

Those who are familiar with wolves will know that when wolves hunt horses for food, they are not as fast as horses, and they usually fight hard, and do not stop until they reach their goals.

Gangluo is the horse that was chased by wolves, running down for two days, two nights and two hundred miles, and he has already seen Tiandu Mountain in the distance, but it is destined to become the end of the world.

Just at the foot of Tiandu Mountain, Gangluo, who ran with leg cramps, became a glorious prisoner.

The first thing Yao Xiong said after catching him was, "Are you still running?" Want to run, Lao Tzu let you continue to run? ”

He panted like a cow, looked at the Tiandu Mountain in front of him, rolled his eyes, and fainted!

After urging Gangluo, Yao Xiong immediately waved his army to attack Tiandu Mountain, which was where the Western Xia Palace was located and was also an extremely important strategic stronghold, and usually had heavy troops.

But now, it is its emptiest moment, and there are less than 10,000 people left behind to guard Tiandu Mountain.

Yao Xiong suddenly killed from behind, and the guard general A Bury was shocked, if it weren't for the Xihe army running two hundred miles was really too tired, and A Bury hurriedly responded to the battle, I am afraid that the Tianshan Mountain would be ravaged by the Xihe army again (when Shenzong attacked the summer on the fifth road, Li Xian led the Xihe army to capture Tiandu Mountain).

At the same time, the 20,000 troops of Wang Shu and Lei Xiu of the Lanzhou Army, together with the Western Xia Zhuoluo and the Southern Military Division, commanded the army Qiligang, and fought for two days in the Hundred Beasts Ridge of Lanchuan, and finally separated the winner.

At the cost of losing 3,000, the Lanzhou army defeated Qiligang and annihilated more than 5,000 enemies.

Under the strict order of the Privy Council, the Lanzhou army gave up entanglement with Qiligang, and waved its army to kill Lingbo Mountain. Exist.

This time, most of the armies that entered the Western Xia were adhering to the purpose of killing to stop killing, and only in this way could they deal a fatal blow to the Western Xia and prompt the Western Xia to withdraw as soon as possible. Otherwise, if you are soft-handed, it will be the Great Song Dynasty that will perish, and the people who will be killed will be the people of the Great Song Dynasty!

Where did Miao give 10,000 horses? No one on the Great Song side knew about it, and the Western Xia side didn't know about it for the time being.

But soon the Lingzhou defenders knew!

The 10,000 horses led by Miao Shu were all cavalry, and the total number of cavalry in the northwest of the Great Song Dynasty was less than 40,000, of which the Xihe Army accounted for 10,000.

There are reasons for this, one is that Xihe Road produces horses; the second is the reason left over from history, from Wang Shao to Li Xian, they are all the commanders who are extremely favored and cared for by the imperial court; Coupled with the opening of the Xihe River and the five-way expedition to the summer, the Xihe army has made great achievements, and such an ace army will naturally be taken care of more.

With such an ace army, Miao Zhu once again carried forward Wang Shao's tradition of being good at long-distance interspersed attacks. After crossing the border from Qingcaostream, he ran more than 400 miles and went straight to Lingzhou, the heart of Western Xia.

Lingzhou is as important as the capital Xingqing Mansion for Western Xia, and the reason why Xingqing Mansion was chosen as the capital is because it is located on the west bank of the Yellow River, backed by Helan Mountain, which is more conducive to defense.

Outside the city of Lingzhou is a vast alluvial plain, which is not conducive to defense, but is conducive to farming, and is the main agricultural area of Western Xia, where 60% of the grain is produced, and it is said that it is plugged into the south of the Yangtze River.

The former Tang Dynasty's Shuofang Dadu Protectorate was located in Lingzhou, and Tang Suzong ascended the throne as emperor here.

The population here is dense, the rice and wheat are like waves, the sky is boundless, and the land is also fertile! The water is beautiful, too!

The city of Lingzhou is thick and thick, Miao Zhi didn't think of wasting his strength to attack the city, there is a vast world outside the city, and endless fertile soil, which is enough for them to gallop.

Now that the hinterland of Western Xia is empty, Miao Zhi with 10,000 cavalry is like a pack of wolves rushing into an unattended sheepfold.

10,000 cavalry doesn't sound like much, but it can be described as overwhelming, what is the scene of 10,000 horses galloping? It's hard for anyone who hasn't seen it to imagine how big that scene was.

One village after another was roared by them, and suddenly the fire was blazing, and the farmland was trampled by them, and there was no harvest!

Xixia, trembling again!

Xixia, crying again!

The invasion of the fiery Miao Zhu not only caused great disasters to the Lingzhou area, but even made the entire Xingqing Mansion panic.

Xingqing Mansion is now leaderless, there are no soldiers, there are no generals, there is one point, more than 10,000 capital garrisons dare not move, and the others are gone.

In addition to urgently sending a letter of help to the Queen Mother, no Xia Jun even dared to go out of the city to fight with Miao Zhi.

Yao Xiong stormed Tiandu Mountain, Wang Shu ravaged Lingbo Mountain, and Miao Zhu ravaged Lingzhou.

The news reached the Xia Army's big tent outside Huanzhou City, and the Empress Dowager Liang was holding a bowl to eat, when she snapped, the porcelain bowl fell to the ground, and the rice was scattered!

Then there was silence in the tent!

After a long while, there was a sudden howl like a she-wolf!

Empress Dowager Liang roared in the big tent before she remembered to block the news, but unfortunately it was too late, and the news had already spread like a plague in the barracks with the howl of Empress Dowager Liang.

Huanzhou can't stay! Withdraw, withdraw immediately! If you don't withdraw from Western Xia, you will have to finish it first!

The Empress Dowager Liang was about to order the withdrawal of the army, but the famous Ah Wu didn't care about informing him, so he rushed into the big tent and hurriedly persuaded: "The Empress Dowager, you can't withdraw now!" Can't be withdrawn! Now it's over! ”

Empress Dowager Liang fiercely threw the general newspaper to Wei Ming Ah Wu, and said without tears: "Can't be withdrawn? If you don't retreat, it's really over, do you know that the Song army has attacked Lingzhou! ”

Wei Ming Ah Wu settled down and persuaded again: "Queen Mother, listen to me, the army has learned the news, and as soon as you withdraw at this time, Zhang Qi and Yang Yi will follow and pursue, and my army of more than 100,000 will probably collapse immediately; Therefore, not only can we not withdraw now, but we must strengthen the attack on Huanzhou, so that Zhang Qi and Yang Yi will not know our intentions.

Let's send someone to pretend to be a messenger from the rear again, falsely report that the Song army that invaded the country has been annihilated, try to calm the army's mind, and wait until the evening, and then the army will quietly retreat. ”

Empress Dowager Liang was shocked into a cold sweat, thinking about it, the old nest has been kicked by others, can the military not be chaotic? At this time, the immediate order to withdraw the army will surely collapse.

Wei Ming Ah Wu said the truth, so the Empress Dowager Liang was as good as a stream, and immediately asked people to pretend to be messengers, this trick is still somewhat effective for the time being, but it can only deceive those ignorant soldiers.

As long as you have some brains, it is not difficult to guess that you really want to think that the Song army has just come to report the invasion of the Song army, and then the Song army that came to report the invasion has been annihilated. The Western Xia army is basically requisitioned, who is going to annihilate the invading Song army so quickly?

In this case, the morale of the Xia army was low, and the siege battle launched was weak and weak, and finally killed some retreating soldiers.

After the second watch in the evening, the Empress Dowager Liang left thousands of men and horses to make a show, and retreated overnight with the army.

The army is almost "out of the house", no matter how painful the heart is, there is no way to take care of it, and now it is a blessing to be able to withdraw as soon as possible and safely.

The horse bit, the hoof is wrapped in cloth, it is not allowed to raise fire, it is not allowed to talk, Xia Jun really managed to retreat quietly in the dark under strict orders.

Empress Dowager Liang thought she had a plan, but she didn't know that Yang Yi was no longer in the city at this time, but in the camp of Zhangqi at the mouth of the old river, the two of them had recruited generals and were urgently discussing and arranging.

The Huanzhou army attaches great importance to intelligence, and a large number of meticulous and hard agents have been sent in Western Xia, if it is on its own land, the actions of hundreds of thousands of troops cannot be detected, and Yang Yi will be killed by a head-on.

The Xia army was not allowed to raise torches, and the army of more than 100,000 retreated cautiously, how fast could it be? The fourth watch only passed Suyuan Village.

Suddenly, rumbling drums sounded on the mountains along the way, and piles of fires were ignited, and the Hongdezhai in front was even more blazing, and the war drums were like thunder!

The Xia army, who was walking in the dark, was frightened by this sudden change, and felt that there were ambushes everywhere and killing machines everywhere......
