Whoosh! On the ruined city wall of Jinchuan Village, several rocket cars lined up, and with the ignition of the fuse, hundreds of gunpowder arrows were as fast as lightning towards the Xixia soldiers who were constantly coming.
Yes! A terrible scream came, and dozens of soldiers of the Western Xia Army who rushed to help were shot by gunpowder arrows, and the terrible screams of dying and the miserable moans of the seriously injured formed a cruel battlefield sorrow.
Just when the battle situation was stalemate, in the southwest direction, suddenly a group of cavalry dressed in the Great Song Dynasty rushed to the horse, the leading general was dressed in heavy armor, he couldn't see his figure clearly, he actually wore a bronze hideous mask on his face, and a mountain knife in his hand, leading nearly a thousand Song cavalry behind him, rushing into the melee like a wind.
The general wearing a hideous bronze mask was unusually fierce, and when he rushed into the Western Xia army, he slashed and slashed, killing more than a dozen Western Xia soldiers in a blink of an eye, including an iron cavalry general of the Western Xia army.
The cavalry led by this general was also very brave, and the thousands of cavalry who were not afraid of death rushed left and right, as if entering a no-man's land, this cavalry completely changed the stalemate of the Song and Xia dynasties, and the Western Xia army began to retreat one after another, and finally slowly withdrew from Jinchuan Village in the sound of gold.
Jinchuan Village at sunset, barren and solemn, coupled with the corpses of thousands of enemies and us outside the village, the unmanned war horses that kept neighing and the injuries and diseases that were still screaming, made this land of the Song Dynasty people rarely known is full of the cruelty of war.
After the ironclad general wearing a hideous bronze mask repelled the Western Xia army. Soon with the rest of the Song army returning to Jinchuan Village, he immediately took off his mask when he walked into Jinchuan Village, and saw that this person was Zhao Lei's old subordinate, Di Qing, the most famous fierce general in the Renzong period.
……
Why did Di Qing, the defense envoy of Weizhou, appear here? This story also starts with the invasion of Yan'an Mansion by Western Xia.
Just after Yuan Hao's plan to send an envoy to Bianjing to make a last-ditch effort to establish a peaceful country failed. Yuan Hao completely dispelled the idea of establishing a peaceful country, and at the same time accepted Yeli Renrong's strategy, took the initiative to send troops to the Song Realm, completely defeated the Great Song army, shocked the two countries of the two countries, and frightened off the armies of the two countries.
Just after obtaining a large amount of military rations in the autumn harvest of Western Xia, Yuanhao of Western Xia led an army of 150,000 troops to Yan'an Mansion of the Great Song Dynasty to attack the security army closest to Western Xia in the Song Realm.
Liu Huaizhong, the inspector of the security army, received the news of the large-scale invasion of Western Xia, and immediately closed the four gates of Zhidan City, where the security army was stationed, and at the same time sent soldiers to Yan'an Mansion for help.
The security army had less than 5,000 soldiers. And the Western Xia had an army of 150,000, before the Great Song reinforcements came, Yuan Hao attacked Zhidan City all night, and the security army only held on for two days before the Western Xia army conquered Zhidan, and the five thousand defenders of Zhidan City were wiped out. And Liu Huaizhong, the security army inspector, also sacrificed his life for the country.
Then the 100,000 Bianjing forbidden army stationed in Yan'an Mansion rescued the security army and held the Western Xia army in Zhidan City, and the defense envoys of the states of Yongxing Military Road led their soldiers to Zhidan City to support, and Yang Wenguang of Gyeongju and Di Qing of Weizhou also led their troops to Zhidan City.
When Di Qing came to Zhidan City, Western Xia was dividing his troops to attack Jinchuan Village. Ordered to rescue Jinchuan Village, Di Qing led his cavalry to the battlefield first, successfully rescued Jinchuan Village and repelled the attack of the Western Xia army.
……
Just when Di Qing successfully rescued Jinchuan Village, several Great Song fortresses such as Jinming Village, which was far away in the northwest of Yan'an Prefecture, were conquered by Western Xia. The Western Xia army, which conquered these fortresses, opened the passage from Yan'an Province to Gyeongju, and at this time, the Gyeongju army had come to support under the leadership of Yang Wenguang, and for a while, Gyeongju was in crisis.
Just after the passage to Gyeongju was opened in Western Xia, the Western Xia army unusually stopped the pace of conquest, and the main force of the Great Song Dynasty sent an envoy to the Song army camp to ask for peace talks with the Great Song Dynasty.
And Fan Yongxin, the prefect of Yan'an Prefecture, thought it was true, so he could write to the imperial court and withdraw to the Song army against the Western Xia army. Loosen the defenses of Yan'an Province.
A few days later, the Western Xia army, which had been waiting for a reply from the Song army, suddenly left Zhidan City, and quickly captured several cities in the north of Yan'an Prefecture and surrounded Yan'an Mansion when hundreds of thousands of troops outside Yan'an Prefecture could not react to the ground.
Hearing the news that Yan'an Mansion was surrounded, hundreds of thousands of troops nearby immediately went to support Yan'an Mansion, and the Western Xia army sent soldiers and horses to block these reinforcements, and the two sides fought fiercely at Sanchuankou, and the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Great Song Dynasty and the 100,000 troops of the Western Xia fell into a difficult encounter on the gentle slopes near Sanchuankou.
After two days and two nights of fierce fighting, both sides of the Song and Xia suffered heavy casualties, and the army led by Yuan Hao of the Western Xia did not take Yan'an Mansion for several days, and the Song army supporting more and more had no choice but to break through and retreat.
When the Western Xia army broke through and retreated, it encountered Liu Ping, the head of the Yuyan Road, and Shi Yuanchun, the general of the new army, led 10,000 horses to desperately block the attack, although the new army was well-equipped, with rocket vehicles, grenades, mines and other advanced weapons, but because these weapons were divided into various armies by Chen Yaozuo, the privy envoy of the Great Song Dynasty, the new army with insufficient equipment was outnumbered by the Western Xia army after half a day, and the Western Xia army broke through and left, Liu Ping, the general of the Yanyan Road, and Shi Yuanchun, the general of the new army, died on the battlefield.
When the Western Xia army broke through and withdrew from the encirclement of the Song army, it was already the first month of the second year of the Great Song Baoyuan.
The Western Xia army that broke through did not withdraw from the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, but turned to Jinmingzhai and passed through it to Gyeongju to attack the city of Gyeongju.
At this time, Yang Wenguang, the defense envoy of Gyeongju, had already returned to Gyeongju, and he had already prepared to lead the 14,000 troops of Gyeongju to hold the city of Gyeongju, and held on for three days and three nights under the siege of more than 100,000 Western Xia troops.
Just when Yuan Hao of Western Xia passed through Jinmingzhai, in order to prevent the Song army from pursuing, Yuan Hao deployed 10,000 ambush soldiers in Jinmingzhai, and as a result, the Great Song Zhenrong Army West Road was eager to chase the enemy, and Yang Baoji was killed in ambush.
Then more than 200,000 Great Song troops reinforced Gyeongju City. Under the city of Gyeongju, the generals of the Western Xia Yuanhao Liankejing Yuan Road, Liu Jizong, Li Wei, Wang Bing and other generals led the reinforcements, killing thousands of Song troops, and finally were surrounded by the main force of the Song army that arrived, and the Western Xia army, which did not conquer Gyeongju for three days and three nights, successfully broke through again.
At the end of January of the second year of Baoyuan, Yuan Hao, who broke through again, turned his head to attack Sanchuan Village in Yan'an Prefecture. The unprepared Song army was outnumbered, and soon Sanchuan Village was conquered, and Sanchuan Village was sacked by the Western Xia army.
……
At this moment, for more than two consecutive months, the Great Song Dynasty suffered more than a dozen defeats, lost tens of thousands of horses, and the news of the death of more than a dozen generals finally reached the ears of the two ** teams of Ao Gang and Hui Nuo.
Hearing the news that the Great Song army was so incompetent, the army that attacked Xiliang in the three-way army immediately withdrew from the battle, and then the other two armies that were unwilling to lose their troops in Western Xia Pingbai also withdrew to Qingtang.
As the soldiers took the initiative to withdraw from the battlefield, the Western Xia, who was still waiting for this opportunity, simply dispatched tens of thousands of troops to reinforce the crumbling sandbar.
And seeing the retreat, the Great Song Dynasty was defeated in successive battles. The Hui Bun, who was about to be able to take the sandbar, was very unwilling to withdraw from the battlefield as well.
When the time came to February of the second year of the Great Song Baoyuan, in the entire Western Xia war, only the Great Song Dynasty and the Western Xia were still facing each other.
……
"Bastard thing! A bunch of rice buckets! Above the Bianjing Emperor's Palace, the official Zhao Zhen roared again with a purple face, and casually covered the ground with all the things that could still be left. venting his anger.
"Defeated thirteen battles in a row, lost nineteen walled cities, killed nearly 30,000 people, and wounded 26,000 people, this is the strength of my 300,000 army of the Great Song Dynasty. And it is also in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, and it is even allowed to let the Western Xia Army, are the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty all girls! Now the allies of the Great Song Dynasty have all retreated because of the defeat of the Great Song army. What should I do now, there is no restraint from the Woo and the Hui Bird, the Western Xia can raise the whole country's troops to confront my Great Song Dynasty, plus a Liao State who wants to be a fisherman, you talk about it, what should I do now! Seeing that the court is noisy on weekdays, all the civil and military officials are trembling today and dare not speak, and the official Zhao Zhen is even more angry and said loudly.
"In fact, there is no need for the official family to be so impatient, although the Great Song army suffered heavy casualties, the Western Xia army did not get there better. Tightly defending Yan'an Mansion, the Western Xia died nearly 10,000 soldiers, plus the casualties of the two breakthroughs, Weichen dared to assert that there were definitely as many as 20,000 soldiers killed in the Western Xia, and the wounded were countless, speaking of which the Western Xia was just a miserable victory, plus the east of Yan'an Mansion was the Yellow River, and the Western Xia Yuanhao could not break through Yan'an Mansion, so he could only attack Qingzhou to the west, after the defeat in Qingzhou, the Western Xia army now has no place to point to the front, think about the Western Xia retreat is only a matter of time, so Wechen thought that although my Great Song Dynasty failed, it was only a small defeat, And the situation of the miserable Western Xia is not much better than the situation of my Great Song Dynasty, and the official family does not need to be so angry at all! The privy envoy Chen Yaozuo immediately stood up to comfort the official Zhao Zhen and said.
"Fart! I don't care if you're a fiasco or a small defeat. What I want is victory, without the deterrence of victory, the Great Song has the ability to command the vassal states of the Uighur and the Uighur, without the deterrence of victory, neither the Western Xia nor the Liao State will take my Great Song in their eyes, without victory, the Liao State may turn against me and attack my Great Song Dynasty! After the official Zhao Zhen finished speaking angrily, he immediately looked at the privy envoy Chen Yaozuo with stern eyes and said, "Chen Yaozuo! Remember when you said it! The advanced weapons of the new army have no effect at all in the new army, only the armies will wield their maximum power, I listen to you divide those weapons into various armies, all the armies in this battle have those weapons, but why do those weapons have no effect, I heard that many generals complain that those weapons are too few, if they are gathered together, they can definitely teach Xixia a big lesson, Chen Yaozuo! Can you give me an explanation? The official Zhao Zhen remembered the twists and turns sent back by the generals who clashed with the Western Xia, and remembered that the new weapons of the new army did not have the predetermined shock effect, and the official Zhao Zhen had seen the power of those weapons with his own eyes, and remembered that Zhao Lei said that those weapons could only be used to wield the greatest power when they were concentrated, and the official Zhao Zhen couldn't help but look at Chen Yaozuo with great annoyance and asked.
The civil and military officials of the imperial court heard that the official Zhao Zhen even omitted the word Aiqing, and called Chen Yaozuo's name, knowing that the official Zhao Zhen was really angry this time, they all glanced at Chen Yaozuo who was in a cold sweat on the warm court, and prayed for him in their hearts.
