More than 20,000 soldiers shouted in unison, how loud will it be?

Zheng Lang and Han Qi glanced at each other and smiled at each other, Zheng Lang said, "Everyone, you also shout." ”

There are still more than 10,000 soldiers in the village who have not been released, and it is impossible to release all the soldiers together, so this is reserved for the final blow.

So the Song army in the village shouted together: "Those who resist die, surrender and do not kill." ”

This is what Yuan Hao is most afraid of.

Zheng Lang's kindness to prisoners of war has spread to Western Xia. can't hide it, not to mention that the Song Dynasty sent scouts to secretly sneak into the Western Xia border to publicize, and the market was changed, and some Western Xia merchants also entered the Song Dynasty to trade and saw it with their own eyes. Who wants to die.

At this time, Yuan Hao immediately came and a strong man broke his wrist and ordered the three armies to withdraw to the northeast.

did not retreat to the west, the number of Zhang Qi in the west is a little less, but the road is difficult, and in the face of Zhang Qi, the ghost, Yuan Hao has tasted it in Tumaochuan, there were only more than 3,000 people at that time, and now it has become more than 20,000 people, and I don't know how many Song troops are biting back, whether to choose Fan Zhongyan or Zhang Qi?

Actually, this time the plan is changing.

In the original plan, fearing that the troops would be insufficient, Zhang Qi would directly lead the army to the west side of Dingchuan Village and concentrate his forces to fight. Fan Zhongyan's troops would be stationed at Sanyingchuan, and if Yuan Hao's army withdrew from the west, Fan Zhongyan's army would enter Shimen Gorge, take a shortcut into Wuyan Gorge, and intercept it in front. If Yuan Hao continues to evacuate from the northeast, Fan Zhongyan's plan will remain unchanged, but he will intercept it at Hulu River, the southern end of the Sanying River.

Yuan Hao sent tens of thousands of troops into the city of Weizhou and forcibly attacked the city of Weizhou, Wang Xin led 10,000 troops to arrive, and the old seed called thousands of sons into the army, there was no need for this. So Zhang Qi directly garrisoned Jiuyang Valley, directly breaking Yuan Hao's dream of retreating to the west. Fan Zhongyan's army advanced to Gaoping Village to set up an ambush.

Seeing that Yuan Hao was preparing to withdraw his troops, one mile and one away, he released all the troops again and slaughtered into the Western Xia army. At this time, the wind gradually subsided, but the tacit understanding did not order the generals to intercept it, which was also in line with the tactics of encircling three and leaving one in the art of war, preventing the Western Xia people from desperately.

Once the Tangut people resisted to the death, they brought their personal courage into play, and their combat effectiveness was considerable. So they were given a chance to escape, and continued to intercept and kill in the process of escaping. Then the second battle was carried out in Gaopingzhai, and the third battle was carried out in Shimen River or Sanying River.

Yuan Hao's command art is still good, and after a bloody battle, he brought out 55,000 men. As for the others, they either fell or surrendered, and evacuated in the direction of Zhaofubao in a panic, and then retreated from Zhaofubao to Gaopingzhai, there was no food, and they had to return to Tiandu Mountain in the fastest time. Yuan Hao was very heartbroken, this broken wrist meant that the life and death of more than 30,000 soldiers outside Weizhou City were uncertain.

The two armies met, and all the military horses in Dingchuan Village cheered.

Di Qing hurriedly recounted what had happened.

Including the situation of Weizhou City, changes in plans, and the old species went to Danzheng Gorge.

Zheng Lang breathed a sigh of relief, he was most worried about Weizhou City these days. He is not like Fan Zhongyan, he is selfless, and he also has a little selfishness, and his family is all in Weizhou City, how can he not worry? For several days, I often had nightmares every night, and when I woke up, I was dripping with cold sweat. It's just that I'm afraid of affecting morale and don't dare to behave.

Facing the slightly cold north wind that gradually subsided, he exhaled softly, called Zhao Xun over, and said to him: "General Zhao, courage is not your forte, but you have some strategy. ”

At this time, there are not a few brave generals with outstanding strength, such as Di Qing, Wang Xin, Wang Ji, Xiang Jin, the more fierce Zhang Qi, and Zhao Xun's force value really can't be taken out. However, this man is very good at military strategy. Zhao Xun said shyly: "The last general will not dare to be." ”

"You're still young and have a lot of room to grow. I want you to lead 10,000 cavalry to Danzheng Gorge, cooperate with Chongzhizhou to fight, and then learn from him. ”

Going to the Kite Gorge may not have the brilliance of going to Gaopingzhai. Even if a great victory is achieved, the world also thinks that Gaopingzhai is the main force of the Western Xia people, after all, Yuan Hao is personally commanding. The actual danger is more vicious than the next battle of Gaopingzhai. The number of people is not as good as either. The strength of the Song army in Gaopingzhai was far superior to that of the Western Xia people, and it was under a great victory, and the morale was high. The old breed can only stalemate in the Kite Gorge, if it weren't for the old breed, he would have sent more than 3,000 people, maybe he would have let Wei Minghuan swallow it alive.

So Zheng Lang said some words of explanation.

Zhao Xun said shyly: "Zheng Xianggong, you will spoil us soldiers." ”

Wang Xin's eyes flashed with some envy, although he was listed as a high-ranking official in Yanzhou at this time, and he was a military general, Pang Ji also attached importance to him, but he would not get along with a military general from the bottom of his heart like Zheng Lang.

"You fought bloodily for the country, and this is the respect that you soldiers deserve." Zheng Lang said indifferently.

"The last will go."

"Don't worry, bring some more heads." Di Qing said. With these heads, you can discourage the soldiers under Wei Minghuan.

"Yes," Zhao Xun happily cut the head, and after cutting, he pounced on the Kite Gorge with seven thousand horses. Zheng Lang had a brief discussion with Di Qing Wang Xin, and gave an order to Jiuyang Valley and Weizhou City. The order for the city of Weizhou was given by fast horses, and it was a little far away, and it was necessary to make a detour from Xinzhai to Weizhou. Then he said, "Chase." ”

A part of the infantry was left to guard the prisoners of war, clean up the battlefield, and search for the fleeing Western Xia soldiers. The remaining nearly 60,000 soldiers followed the Tangut people to chase down. Yuan Hao lost a little badly in this battle, but the Song army suffered equally heavy losses, and at this moment alone, seven or eight thousand people fell.

However, an unprecedented victory gradually unfolded in front of everyone's eyes.

There were many cavalry in the Western Xia, and those who escaped were also cavalry, even if there were infantry troops with food, or some female soldiers, that is, those Ma Kui, were killed one after another. After Zheng Lang came to the northwest, he deliberately issued an order, before those Ma Kui were captured without restraint, don't pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, they must be killed. The women of the party are very fierce, and some women are even more powerful than men. It's not Yang Wenguang's wife "Mu Guiying" who is powerful alone, and there are not too many powerful party women.

And under the influence of this atmosphere, there is a strange phenomenon, when young men and women love each other deeply, instead of holding a wedding, they strangely run to the mountains to commit suicide together, thinking that this is the joy of men and women, and they are happier than doing that kind of thing. Zheng Lang, a high-IQ character, didn't want to understand where happiness was? Or only such perverted peoples, such as the Japanese who are proud of committing suicide by disembowelment, have such strange feelings. What's even more strange is that the parents are not sad, after finding their corpses, wrap them in colored silk, wrap them in felt, kill cattle and set up sacrifices, set up wooden frames as high as several zhang, and display the bodies of the two people horizontally, and say that they have ascended to the sky, and the parents of both men and women beat drums and drinks below, sing and dance, and disperse.

It is estimated that Yuan Hao has the most headache for this ugly custom, because the dead are all young men and women, which is undoubtedly a loss for the Tangut people with a small population.

The two armies continue to be entangled.

There were constant casualties, and Yuan Hao fled to Gaopingzhai in a panic, and it was already dawn the next day. The men and horses were exhausted, but fortunately, the escape speed of the Western Xia people was the first in the world, and most of them were cavalry, and they actually let Yuan Hao take 52,000 people to escape from Gaoping Village. A surprising scene appeared in front of his eyes.

Take the high flat village as a straight line, pave a lot of stones, not high, the highest place is only half a person high, but it is very wide, nearly ten meters wide. Not only are there stones piled up on the Pingchuan River nearly ten miles wide, but some stones are also hideously exposed in the Huluchuan River, and it seems that the obscene Lianhe River in the Song Dynasty is paved with stones. Hugh said it was a horse, and even an elephant couldn't get past it. It is not difficult to think about it, more than 50,000 people, two or three people carry a stone, and only one time can quickly clear a passage. There are tens of thousands of Song troops behind Guan Jianshi, one by one with bows and arrows, eyeing each other.

Yuan Hao was thundered by the stone scratched by the wind.

Fleeing here, the Song army has been left behind.

But he couldn't force the charge, he fled for more than a night, and the people were sleepy and tired, Yuan Hao took this opportunity and ordered to set up camp. I didn't have anything to eat, so I killed horses for food. To forcibly break through this stone formation, there must be soldiers sacrificed, and in order to keep these more than 50,000 troops, there is no need to pity the war horses.

The Song army did not attack, and confronted behind the stone formation.

There are many people and great strength, Yuan Hao quickly set up a fence and began to kill horses and cook.

On the other side, the battle continues.

Lao Chong threw out the head, but did not show all Zhao Xun's troops, but only added 2,000 soldiers to enter, and after two days of offensive and defensive battles, Lao Chong's men also sacrificed many soldiers. As for the others, they were placed behind the Kite Gorge to keep them from being exposed. He was waiting, waiting for the army in Weizhou. For the time being, with the soldiers in his hands, he has not had such a big appetite to eat the Western Xia army in front of him.

Seeing these heads, Wei Minghuan's heart was cold.

At the moment, Song Jun's shouting did not work, and no one hit them on the head. Wei Minghuan stood for a while, not knowing what to do? He didn't think that Yuan Hao's army would be defeated, and it would be about the standoff stage, and many people would die, but it would not be defeated. At this time, he needed his own new force to join, so he ordered a forcible attack.

However, the narrow terrain of the gorge constrained the numerical superiority of the army, and the stalemate continued. On the other side, Yoon-so also received a message from Kuaima. This time it was Zheng Lang's personal order, and the scout told him about the situation of the Battle of Dingchuanzhai, but he didn't say how many Song troops came to Danzheng Gorge, only that they sent a large army south for a battle. There is no way, if you want to pursue, you can't use infantry, you have to use cavalry. The number of cavalry is small, and it is Yuan Hao who personally commands it, and maybe he can move a certain distance and make a beautiful counterattack in turn.

The other end is far away, there are two hundred miles of road, and only cavalry can be used to reach it, and the troops are enough, but the troops cannot be used, and only 10,000 cavalry can be squeezed out.

continued to hit Yoon so with a little sloppy eye.

These days, Yin Su is having a hard time, Cui Xian was wounded by an arrow, and he also let a stray arrow hit, but fortunately, there is no danger to his life, and he has to fight with injuries due to the situation. I just gasped for two or three days, and when I heard the news, I was going to fight again, frowning and silent.

The scout continued: "Zheng Xianggong ordered, if Yin Tongju didn't want to go, then let Zhang Baohou lead the army to go. ”

Yoon-so said angrily, "I'll go." ”

is still meritorious, otherwise he would not have pushed him to the rear and made trouble with Zheng Lang for a while because of Di Qing's arrival. It wasn't until later that Xia Zhu got the real rear that he settled down. This is also a common problem of most monarchies, good merit and good name, it is difficult to say whether it is good or bad, good use is good, improper use is evil.

After thinking about it, gathering the army, I was afraid that in case, after leaving nearly 2,000 troops in the city, I left Weizhou City and slowly went west.

Wei Minghuan failed to attack several times, he was very distressed, and suddenly heard thousands of Song troops coming out of the rear, he still had some military talent, and he faintly felt bad in his heart, and ordered the scouts to look around and see farther.

It doesn't make sense, it's just intuition.

In the afternoon, Yin Zhu began to force his army across Jingshui, and Wei Minghuan's scouts finally returned to report that there were still countless Song Dynasty cavalry behind Danzheng Gorge.

In an instant, Wei Minghuan and Wo Yuxuan's hearts fell to the freezing point, as if they had come to Antarctica in thin clothes.

Wei Minghuan finally believed the words of the Song army at this time, and the Xia army of Dingchuan Zhai was defeated, otherwise he would not have sent so many Song troops south.

He thought about it for a while, and made an order, withdraw, retreat to the west, dare not go to the east, the farther away from Western Xia, then the whole army will really be wiped out. It shows that he is not bold enough, if he really retreats to the east, the troops in the Song Dynasty are very empty at this time, maybe let him have a great miracle. But who would dare to do that?

And he has another extremely difficult opponent. Hugh has to underestimate the old species, he not only uses counter-plots, but also presided over battles in Qingjian City, and his victory is extremely glorious. It's just that in history, they were transferred to Pang's Fan Zhongyan's men, and there were few fighting opportunities, so only the anti-plot was left in history.

Seeing the enemy's moves, and getting the news that Yin Zhu led the army west, the old man knew that this was the Xixia people who wanted to escape. Where to flee, only to flee to the West. But at this time, the Western Song Dynasty was empty, and although the road was difficult to walk, if they did not pursue it in time, they might let these two boys bring this army back to Western Xia.

Immediately ordered to take the initiative to move away from the stone and chased after it.

There were not many cavalry in the Song Dynasty, only a little more than 10,000 people. But there was an infantry army in the rear, and Guan Jianwei Minghuan withdrew in a hurry, and he didn't even know how many Song troops there were in the rear. Coupled with the defeat at the front, he just wanted to escape quickly, and he didn't dare to fight with the Song army.

There is a serious problem in the middle of this, speed.

The same cavalry, the Tangut people had to bring enough dry food for several days, and the Song army didn't have to. Therefore, some historians who do not understand the battle of Haoshuichuan say that Ren Fu was blind and arrogant, and actually chased the enemy without supplies, which was why he coveted the baggage of the Tangut people. This is wrong, arrogance is there, but it is not greedy for the supply of the Tanguts, just as an ordinary trophy, how many villages will be there along the way, enough to maintain the supply. The same is true of this Song army, going west, there are many villages, not long-term, and there are still a few meals of food.

Wei Minghuan knows that this will become his disadvantage, but what can he do? The Song Dynasty's policy of clearing the wilderness made it impossible to plunder supplies in the wilderness, and even if there were people in a few remote mountainous areas who did not withdraw into the walled city in time, they also killed all their men during this time. Either attack the walled fort to get supplies, and then the Song Dynasty army will bite tightly, so dare to attack the city?

fled one after another, and one after another, his subordinates were killed and wounded by the Song army. Fleeing to Dalong Mountain, it is time to cross the mountains and mountains, and the hardship has really begun. The road was not very familiar, and he had to dismount and lead the horse, coupled with the Song army's fighting, the speed became very slow, and gradually Yin Zhu's infantry army caught up. Here is the world of infantry, a big Longshan escaped, almost half of the soldiers were lost. But it was not over yet, and the Song army continued to fight in the back, so they had to continue to escape. The road ahead is long, and there is a long time for the Deshun army to cross. The six gods fled westward, and finally the thing he was worried about happened, and he received an order from Zhang Qi back, it was Zhang Qi, not Zheng Lang, how many troops could the Deshun army use, Zheng Lang did not know, only Zhang Qi knew. Zhang Qi ordered the officers and men of the Deshun army to be prepared, and they may not develop towards the current situation, but they are all infantry, and they must be arranged in advance. The scouts came back to report, and the generals who stayed behind were also greedy for merit, and the opportunity was rare, so each village gathered all the soldiers and gathered more than 3,000 Song troops in front of the Wating River. You can't stop it, but you can stop it. After dragging on for more than an hour, Lao Chong and Zhao Xun came over again.

After paying great sacrifices, Wei Minghuan was killed and continued to flee to the west.

At this time, there were only more than 8,000 people left in his hands, and the rest died or surrendered. More people surrendered than died in battle.

There was even a riot, and ten confused and bold soldiers really listened to the Song people's shouts and hit them in the head.

Discovered in time, it was quickly stifled, which made morale even lower.

A series of bad luck happened, good luck finally came, although Zhang Qi notified Blind Felt in advance and asked him to cooperate with the interception, but Blind Felt was timid, made a show, intercepted hundreds of backward soldiers in Western Xia, and gave an explanation to the Song Dynasty, which was actually equivalent to letting go.

Seven days later, Wei Minghuan fled to the territory of Western Xia in a panic, and at this time he brought out 40,000 people, only more than 7,000 people, which could not be more miserable.

On the other side, Yuan Hao is not good.

After a short rest, Song Jun chased after him.

More than 60,000 people, as well as Fan Zhongyan's subordinates, had a great advantage in numbers. But not twice or three times. The key is morale, and there are many examples of winning more with less, but it is not something that the Western Xia people can achieve at the moment. Yuan Hao had no choice but to do help, if he could kill, he would live, and if he couldn't, he would die.

A lot of reinforcement was very effective and boosted the morale of the army. Just as almost all the troops of the Song army arrived, Yuan Hao launched a strong attack on this strange stone formation. While forming a formation to resist the attack of the Southern Song army, he asked the soldiers to dismount, covered with shields, forcibly lifted the stones, and opened the passage.

This scratching idea was exactly what Chong Shiheng came up with.

Like his counter-plot, it is extremely obscene.

For a while, arrows rained down, and the shouts of killing shook the sky. There was a mountain of corpses in front of the stone formation, and after paying an unknown amount of sacrifice, Yuan Hao finally got his wish and moved a passage. Yuan Hao shouted on the horse: "Rush." ”

There are still his subordinates in the passage, but at this time he doesn't care, and the situation in front of Gaopingzhai reminds him of the previous defeat by the Tubo Yak River. If you don't rush again, the Song army in the south will kill you, and you will lose your life here.

trampled on his own people and forcibly led the army to rush over, as for the soldiers who were still under the horse, or moved behind, Yuan Hao didn't care, fought bloodily, forcibly opened a passage from Fan Zhongyan's army, fled north with most of the men and horses, and ran to Sanyingchuan.

In Gaopingzhai alone, nearly 20,000 Western Xia soldiers were killed or surrendered. But it didn't end, and came to Sanying River and marched to Shimen River, because the nearest road was from Shimen Gorge. But there was another army in front of it, and a large flag was waving in front of the army, with a big character written on it.

The fiercest general in the entire Northwest, Zhang Qi!

Although the road from Jiuyang Valley to Sanyingchuan is rugged, it is only more than 30 miles. Zhang Qi did not choose to be in Sanyingchuan, the terrain was too open, and the battle was unfavorable. There is also a road to Shimenxia, which is more difficult to walk, but it is also not far, less than forty miles.

did not choose to set up an ambush, Yuan Hao attached great importance to scouts, and Zheng Lang had already set up an ambush in Shimenxia, and Yuan Hao was prepared. Therefore, he used trickery to weaken the morale of the soldiers, so that the soldiers had a fluke mentality, and it was better to fight head-on. So after rushing to Shimenxia, after resting for the night and recuperating his energy, when the sky broke at dawn, he sent scouts to inquire. Hearing that Yuan Hao's army was defeated and retreating, he led the army out of Shimenxia and came to Shimenchuan, where he rushed up to wait for work.

Seeing this fierce man, Yuan Hao shivered a little in his heart.

Moreover, the Song army behind him was chasing after him, and he urgently ordered the three armies to turn around and flee to Sanyingchuan again. Yuan Hao was here, suffered heavy losses again, and finally killed it, fled to Huluchuan, did not dare to go from Wuyan Gorge again, and fled all the way north along Huluchuan.

Successive pursuits, until Xiao Pass, the ministers of the Western Xia heard of the defeat and urgently gathered an army to rescue, but were quickly defeated by the Song army that came with a great victory. There were too many fierce people in the Song army at this time, Di Qing, Wang Xin, Zhang Qi and Wang Ji, Yang Wenguang, Ji Zhen, Guo Kui, Jingtai, Zhi Jimin, and Zheng Lang also gave them room to play. Think about the military talent of these generals, and then there is room to play, and enough troops. It can be said that it is the most fantastic army of the Three Kingdoms in this era.

Run away again.

Yuan Hao was really killed, and it was even worse on the banks of the Yak River. If that one is defeated, it will not bring the defeated elephant back to the Western Xia country. But now the Song army has been catching up, and it actually chased to the territory of Western Xia. The second time I crossed the reward port. The Tanguts used the power of the level to block it, and soon the reward was taken down again. Yuan Hao's army had not finished catching his breath when the Song army caught up again. Continue to flee and flee to Mingsha City. In Mingsha City, the Tanguts sent another reinforcement army, and then they were routed again.

The sad Yuan Hao had no choice but to flee to Lingzhou City.

It didn't end, the Song army chased all the way to Lingzhou. Zheng Lang is still in a hurry in the back, he can't fool around, and he boldly attacks Lingzhou, and it is not yet time to attack Lingzhou. Send a fast horse to order the Song army to stop chasing.

Several brave generals looked at the tall Lingzhou city wall, only then sighed, and slowly led the army to retreat south, and by the way, they unscrupulously abducted hundreds of people.

In fact, several main generals are still very sensible, although they defeated the main army of Western Xia, arrived in Lingzhou, entered the core area of Western Xia, and quickly broke through Lingzhou City, but if the stalemate continues, it will be very unfavorable to their own situation. However, the Lingzhou city wall is taller than the Weizhou city wall, and it is difficult to win the Lingzhou city if it can win the reward. However, it is also very exciting news, this is the first time that the Song army has come to the city of Lingzhou after the founding of the Western Xia.

At this point, there were only 21,000 people left under Yuan Hao. As for the others, in addition to the defeated army that was scattered in the territory of Western Xia, under the encirclement and suppression of the Song army all over the mountains, even if they escaped, it was difficult to escape back to Western Xia.

Xingshi mobilized the army of 120,000, and its strength was second only to the army used in the Battle of Fulin Road, but as a result, only more than 28,000 people fled back from the two routes, and less than 30,000. Not only that, but with two rescue troops, nearly 20,000 people also went to the sea.

This time, Yuan Hao really hurt his bones, and he lost so badly that he almost let Zheng Lang cut off Xiao JJ.
