Outside the Fort of Guide, Liang Gefang led two thousand Xia troops to storm the walled fort, and half of the cavalry he brought this time were cavalry, and half were foot soldiers; Xixia Bubazi is a typical "mountain division", it is mostly composed of Hengshan Qiang people, barefoot can also walk in the mountains like flying, elusive; It can be said that it was precisely because of their existence that the Song army failed to take much advantage in the battle for the strategic barrier of Hengshan.

Now responsible for attacking the walled fort, it is these foot soldiers, Liang Gefang with a thousand cavalry, the seven hundred Song army in front of the walled fort in the open area, stationed in the Fort of Guide Song general Qiao Yinshan, exhausted all his strength, can not get rid of Liang Gefang's entanglement, seeing a thousand steps of the fortress storming the walled fort, can only do in a hurry.

Fort Guide is five or six miles away from Tokugawa, backed by a high mountain, in front of the fort is a slope, easy to defend and difficult to attack, but Bubazi is extremely good at mountain warfare and siege warfare, and the three hundred villagers in the fort are still a little difficult to deal with.

Qiao Yinshan saw that the strength of the Xia army was only twice as large as his own, and he was unwilling to retreat to the fort to wait for reinforcements, he took the lead in rushing and shouting to his corporals: "Brothers, our reinforcements will arrive soon, kill!" Don't let a summer dog go! ”

Qiao Yinshan had 200 cavalry under his command, he took these 200 cavalry as the vanguard, and the hundreds of infantry behind him formed a circular formation, constantly following the advance, the infantry and cavalry coordinated, and each other was a support, but the cavalry could not rush, the infantry immediately used the rain of arrows to diffuse the two wings, preventing the Xia army from dividing the infantry and cavalry; As soon as the infantry encountered the Xia army's charge, the cavalry rushed over from Zeyi to help. Relying on this close cooperation, although the Song army was small in number, it was inseparable from the Xia army.

The arrows and locusts on both sides flew like locusts, constantly reaping human lives, many people's knives had been slashed, blood stained their armor scarlet, war horses neighed, and the crowd screamed and roared, and the sound echoed among the surrounding mountains...... Liang Gefang saw that the resistance of the Song army was so strong, and he couldn't help frowning slightly, in the past nine years of Yuan You, except for a thorn like Zhang Qi, most of the others have avoided and dare not fight, Liang Gefang has become accustomed to the Song army that can't fight back during the Yuan You period, and now the Song army is suddenly not "Yuan You", he is really not used to it.

Liang Gefang is not good at martial arts, and several pro-soldiers tightly protect him and fight! Liang Gefang has only one thought now, he must fight! Beat this Song army who dared to fight, and it hurt! Otherwise, other Song Jun will follow the same example and be embarrassed by Xia Jun everywhere, how will Xia Jun visit his own back garden in the future?

His henchmen Heishan was a little worried, and rushed to Liang Gefang's side to persuade: "My lord, if we continue to touch it so hard, we won't be able to take any advantage, I'm afraid that the Song army's reinforcements will come soon, and the last general thinks that it is better to loot outside the fort, retreat first, and wait for the next opportunity, and then take Fort Guide." ”

Looting outside the fort? This spring season, what is there to grab outside the fort? Some words have already been robbed, Liang Gefang glanced at Montenegro, and said: "In any case, we must first eliminate this Song army outside the fort, at least we must first knock it back into the fort, otherwise if we retreat, the morale of the Song army will definitely rise, which is extremely unfavorable to our army!" ”

"My lord, in that case, why don't we let Bu Bazi suspend the siege of the city, and first strangle the Song army outside the city!"

Liang Gefang felt justified, so he listened to Montenegro's advice and ordered Bubazi to stop the siege and withdraw the hundreds of Song troops besieging outside the city.

As soon as Qiao Yinshan saw this posture, he knew that he couldn't hold it anymore, otherwise if he was really surrounded by the Xia army outside the city, he was afraid that these hundreds of men and horses would have to be explained here.

"Report! Lord Liang, the Song army's 600 reinforcements are less than ten miles away from Guide! ”

The news brought by the scout soldier Pegasus made Liang Gefang reluctant to stay longer, he came to take advantage, but he didn't want to be taken advantage of by the Song army.

The Xia army came and went quickly, and even those who ran on their feet were walking like flying, and soon there was only a mess of dead bodies left before returning to Fort De.

Along the way, Montenegro wanted to speak several times and stopped, Liang Gefang didn't know what this henchman was thinking, this season only started spring ploughing, in fact, there was nothing to grab, the people of the Song realm either retreated into the strong fort, or fled into the mountains and forests, unless they were lucky enough to break through the fort, otherwise they would have gained nothing, like this time they lost more than 100 horses in vain.

Liang Gefang sighed: "Montenegro, I know that you don't think much about this dispatch in your heart, but I have a last resort, since my uncle was killed by the two dog thieves named Ah Wu and Renduo Baozhong, my Liang family is not as good as before, if you want to make a comeback, there is no other way but to make a comeback." ”

Montenegro doesn't think so, Liang Gefang doesn't do it with a promising Zhongshusheren, but wants to go to Yanzhou to be a guard, in Montenegro's view, this is simply a sacrifice for the end, who doesn't know that if you want to win power, the closer you are to the center of power, the more advantageous, Montenegro said these thoughts of his own.

Liang Gefang is a layman, he understands that in the military, he will have to rely more on Montenegro as a brave general in the future, if he has a mustard in his heart, it will be even more difficult for him to control him; Liang Gefang then said in his heart: "Montenegro, you have been loyal to my Liang family for so many years, and I won't hide it from you, since my uncle was killed, I have figured it out, although my aunt is the queen mother, she may not be able to be reliable, even if you can become the premier prime minister in the court like your uncle did?"

In our Western Xia, everything is still speaking with strength, if you can't master an army loyal to yourself, sooner or later you can only be slaughtered, especially our Liang family, who has mastered the imperial power of Daxia for decades, and the eight departments of the party hate my Liang family to the core, once the situation changes in the future, I am afraid that it will be when my Liang family is wiped out, Montenegro, do you understand what I ask myself to be a border general? ”

Montenegro understands, because he understands, so he respects, he was originally a slave of the Liang family, but Liang Gefang has treated him well for many years, and now he is even more careful of his henchmen, what else can Montenegro say?

The grievances and grievances within the Liang family, he didn't know what to say, the Empress Dowager Liang killed Liang Yikui without permission, this is simply digging her own grave, Empress Dowager Liang is a stupid woman, why doesn't she understand that Liangshan is the cornerstone of her domination of Western Xia; Montenegro can only think about these things in his heart, and now he feels that Liang Gefang's decision is so far-sighted, and with such a person, Montenegro is willing.

Liang Gefang continued: "After I go back, first distribute the property I brought to the soldiers, let them be sharp-tongued, and say that we will kill more than 1,000 Song troops at the cost of 100 casualties this time, and if the court has a reward, the official will not take a penny, and will send it to the brothers!" ”

Black Mountain said with some hesitation: "My lord, this kind of thing is not allowed again, and it is difficult to guarantee that it will not be revealed, and I am afraid that the adult will be vulnerable to being attacked and raped by others." ”

"Don't worry! Although my Liang family can no longer pin all their hopes on my aunt, she is still the aunt of the official after all, and the political situation in Great Xia is still under my aunt's control. ”

When Liang Gefang and Montenegro said this, suddenly, arrows rained down on the mountain on the side of the road, and the sound of killing shook the sky, and the Xia army, who was caught off guard, was suddenly in chaos...... Yang Yi led two hundred men and horses to rush down from the mountain, like thunder and explosion, and cut the Xia army into two sections at once, so that they could not care about each other; Taking advantage of the chaos of the Xia army, Yang Yi pointed to the banner of Liang Zi, two hundred tigers jumped on horses and raised their spears, killing the generals in the waves, capturing the thief and capturing the king first, which has always been Yang Yi's favorite thing to do.

At the same time, Liu Wu and Qiao Yinshan also quickly covered up from behind, and it was precisely because they had been chasing behind not far away, that the Xia army ignored the possible ambush in front, so Yang Yi's two hundred tigers could easily cut the Xia army in two.

The Xia army was suddenly ambushed, the position was in chaos, and it was attacked from both sides, this was a war without much suspense, but the result was beyond everyone's expectations.

Xia Jun actually won!

The report received by Xingqing Mansion in Western Xia is: the Great Song Dynasty increased its troops in Guideburg, posing aggressively, Yanzhou defender Liang Gefang preemptively, led the army to attack Guideburg, and encountered an ambush near Qinggangxia when withdrawing.

On the Huanzhou side, there are multiple versions of the rumors about this battle, and one version that is widely circulated is: Zhizhou Yang Yi inspected the place and hastily led the army to pursue the invading Xia army, but was ambushed by the Xia army near Qinggang Gorge.

Zhizhou Yang Yi also personally issued a notice, admitting that he was negligent and negligent in his haste to the enemy this time, and solemnly apologized to the people of Huanzhou. In this regard, the people are very tolerant, after all, in the case of a sudden ambush, they can still draw with the Xia army, which is already commendable.

For the people of Huanzhou, who have suffered from the scourge of the Xia Army over the years, no matter whether they win or lose, as long as they dare to send troops to fight against the Xia Army, they are already very gratified.

In the small area of the military camp, there is another completely different version, saying that Zhizhou Yang Yi led two hundred tigers to ambush the Xia army near Qinggang Gorge, and at the same time arranged for the rear army to pursue, under the two hundred pincers, the two thousand Xia troops led by Liang Gefang were all captured, but the Lord Zhizhou wanted to learn the allusion of Kong Ming's seven captures of Meng Shu, and released all the Xia army generals, planning to capture Liang Dingfang enough eight times, so as not to let Kong Ming pass on the beauty in front.

This kind of thing, Lord Zhizhou likes to do it the most, don't believe it, when he was in Hebei, Lord Zhizhou captured the Liao general Yeluren several times, which is a precedent to follow.

However, the spread of this version is limited to the barracks, because after the first battle of Qinggangxia, the sergeants and soldiers of the army were strictly ordered not to leave the camp without authorization, and they were taken by the generals to practice to the death every day.
