Yang Yi was forced to retreat again and again, and when he retreated to Hongdezhai, he finally looked forward to the first batch of reinforcements, a total of 7,000 cavalry on Jingyuan Road and Qinfeng Road, led by Zhu Luo, the second general of Zhi Keshi and Qin Feng.

The 50,000 infantry army led by Zhang Qi has just entered the border of Huanzhou.

7,000 cavalry is still a drop in the bucket for more than 100,000 Xia troops, and it is not cost-effective to use cavalry to fight blocking battles;

Xie Jingting was also uncomfortable on the front line of Guidechuan, and when he received Yang Yi's order to retreat, the casualties of 4,000 men and horses were close to 30%.

Xia Jun is too much, too much! The army of hundreds of thousands is just a number on paper, and if you really look at it, you will know that when marching, the army array stretches for dozens of miles, overwhelming the sky, just people trampling on horses, you can step on all the way without a single grass.

And the woman Empress Dowager Liang is too crazy to take human life seriously, Yang Yi chose to give up these small strongholds in Hongdezhai very sensibly.

There are too many people in these villages to squeeze in, and if there are fewer people, they can't hold them, and their own troops are already pitiful.

The further south, the more open the terrain, and then imagine that using a hill to block more than 100,000 Xia troops was impossible, Yang Yi thought about it left and right, and decided to retreat in stride, directly retreat to Huanzhou, and stretch the supply line of the Xia army.

Yang Yi quickly made arrangements, and he gave Zhen Keshi the 2,000 "cavalry" newly formed by the township soldiers, and exchanged 2,000 habitual cavalry from him, as well as Guo Cheng, a general of Jingyuan Road. plus his remaining 5,000 combatable soldiers, 7,000 men and horses returned to Huanzhou.

Zhe Keshi took 7,000 cavalry, first avoided the edge of the Xia army, and then tried to intersperse to the north, whether it was robbing the grain road behind the Xia army, or engaging in sneak attacks, these are all Zhi Keshi's specialties, so Yang Yi doesn't have to worry about it.

Hongdezhai and Suyuan Village, Zhang Kai and Zhe Keshi had set up ambushes here, and defeated the 100,000 troops of the Empress Dowager Liang, Yang Yi did not plan to give up these forts before, and the people inside did not withdraw.

And now, because the other two reinforcements did not arrive in time, they had to give up, and after Yang Yi hurriedly ordered the retreat, the people in the village burst into tears, and the women and children cried. But he still accepted Yang Yi's order and retreated to Huanzhou City.

The old people and children sat in ox carts and horse-drawn carts, and the young and strong people pushed grain and carried simple clothes, except for that, Yang Yi ordered all other belongings to be abandoned.

Mu Lanhua was responsible for leading these people first, and she didn't know whether it was smoke or sadness, her eyes were red and swollen, she rode a peach blossom horse and rushed forward and backward, urging loudly: "Folks, go quickly, don't cry!" Lord Zhizhou personally helped us stop the pursuers in the back, we can't drag Lord Zhizhou back! Lord Zhizhou did what he said and promised to compensate you for your losses in the future, what are you worried about? Don't cry! When Lord Zhizhou defeats the Empress Dowager Liang, you can double your things and want to come back......"

If it weren't for Yang Yi's extremely high prestige in Huanzhou, coupled with the promise that the state capital would compensate them for their losses in the future, it would have been impossible for the people to give up their belongings and quickly evacuate.

Since Yang Yi became the governor of Zhou, he has won several great victories in the military, resettled the displaced people in terms of people's livelihood, helped the poor and rescued the poor, and personally led the people to the fields to rush to cultivate and plant; teach them to pick herbs and raise fragrant pigs; Cattle and horses were distributed to the people on preferential terms.

Mu Lanhua brought up these things one by one, and the people remembered the good of Lord Zhizhou, and finally felt much more relieved, and the crying stopped.

Yang Yi led thousands of men and horses behind, using all the available terrain to delay the Xia army, because the Xia army cavalry was fast, this was destined to be an extremely difficult task.

Picky and embarrassed, in the city!

A young girl had a white wolf lying beside her, standing on the tower of the north gate and hoping that all the people had entered the city, but there was no Yiren in sight, and her eyes were full of tears......

Outside the city, the sky is high and the clouds are flying,

Deciduous leaves are yellow and grassy.

Lang holds the golden gold and fights bloodily,

The head of the slave city was cut off from the liver and sausage.

The girl stood at the head of the city for a long time, motionless, the slender figure seemed to be blown away by the wind at any time, and the soldiers at the head of the city felt uncomfortable when they saw it, but no one dared to go up to persuade her.

Suddenly, the white wolf stood up, jumped on the high city saucer, and raised his head to the north and howled, the sound penetrated the sky, and Qing Niang asked eagerly: "Xiaobai, did you see Brother Yang?" Isn't it? Isn't it ......"

The majestic white wolf turned around and whimpered, and continued to howl northward!

After a while, I saw smoke and dust billowing from the far north, like a huge cloud covering half of the sky.

The clouds kept rolling, pushing, and surging rapidly southward.

Then came the dull sound of horses' hooves, the faint sound of killing, the terrible howl, and the bursts of heroic and tragic singing.

How can you say that you have no clothes? with the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear. Enmity with the Son.

How can you say that you have no clothes? With the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear halberd. Work with the child.

How can you say that you have no clothes? with the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my armor soldiers. Walk with the son.

The singing is endless, mixed with the sonorous sound of the Jin Ge Iron Horse, soaked in the smell of blood, rain and wind, and floats up to the city in bursts;

The surrounding mountains echoed, the city vibrated faintly, and the heaven and earth suddenly became endlessly solemn and magnificent......

As the overwhelming smoke and dust approached, you could finally see the war horses flying in the smoke and dust, waving the light of the sword, and the rain of arrows shooting into the sky, as if piercing the sky, before falling like a torrential rain!

At last I saw that the small red phalanx was pushed by a black, boundless wave, like a lonely boat in a tsunami, which could be drowned by the waves at any time;

But they didn't, they persevered, stubbornly persevered, fought and retreated, and the heroic and tragic song came from their mouths, majestic mountains and rivers, and then died!

Finally saw it, Yang Yi rode the tall black horse, held a spear, and led two thousand cavalry to closely cooperate with the infantry phalanx, constantly attacking, and repeatedly rushing to kill!

The spear took advantage of the horse's momentum, like a steel cone, and ploughed through the black waves again and again, and the blood penetrated the robe, and the song was like a roar!

The soldiers and civilians in the city are boiling! Their governor fulfilled his promise, in order to cover the retreat of the people, in order not to let a single citizen die under the sword soldiers, seven thousand against one hundred thousand! He was at the end, fighting back and forth in the bloody battle array, he is the governor of Huanzhou, and it is the Great Wall in the hearts of the people!

With tears in their eyes, the soldiers and civilians in the city pushed open the city gates, beat the war drums, and sang as they went out of the city to respond:

How can you say that you have no clothes? with the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear. Enmity with the Son.

How can you say that you have no clothes? With the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear halberd. Work with the child.

How can you say that you have no clothes? with the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my armor soldiers. Walk with the son.

Above and below the city, 100,000 soldiers and civilians, who were not singing in harmony, the tragic singing was like a real wave, blowing away the billowing smoke and dust.

Qing Niang was also singing, her little fists had been pinched white, her palms were full of fine sweat, and her eyes followed Yang Yi's looming figure.

Su Dongpo is also singing, he has faced the war several times, but none of them are as tragic as this time, with a block in his chest, as if he is majestic, and thousands of poems and prides are all exhausted by this.

This song was sung by Yang Yi, he was not pretending, if he hadn't used this song to arouse the tragic spirit of thousands of soldiers to die, under the attack of more than 100,000 Xia troops, the army's heart would have already collapsed;

Even so, they are like boats that capsize at any time in the wind.

Finally arrived, the seemingly useless trenches dug by the people of Huanzhou before were equivalent to saving the lives of Yang Yi and thousands of soldiers, and now they could finally retreat to the city along the passages reserved between these trenches.

If it weren't for these trenches to temporarily block the fierce offensive of the Xia army, Yang Yi would probably not dare to enter the city when he arrived in the city, because the two armies were too close together, almost glued together, and one of them might be attacked into the city by the Xia army.

Yang Yi retreated into Huanzhou City under the acceptance of the city sergeants, and thousands of soldiers and horses were all bloodstained and scarred.

In the tearful cheers of the soldiers and civilians in the city, they finally retreated into Huanzhou City.

***

The Privy Council's orders were delivered one after another, and the Yanyan Road and Huanqing Road were urgent, as the Xihe Army, which had the strongest combat strength in the northwest, it was an unshirkable responsibility.

Just when Empress Dowager Liang stormed Huanzhou and ravaged Huanzhou Road, the Xihe Army finally gathered 30,000 troops, led by Miao Zhu and Yao Xiong, and sent troops to Luosaling again.

The Western Xia Horse Gangluo has been waiting for a long time, the two sides have fought once in the Rosa Ridge not long ago, this time it can be said that the enemy is seeing each other, and the eyes are very red, although the Gangluo only has 15,000 troops, but it is enough for the defending side.

The two armies fought for a day in the Rosa Ridge, regardless of victory or defeat, and at night, Miao Zhi left Yao Xiong with 20,000 horses to make a appearance, but he raided the Qingcaojian Copper Walled City forty miles away overnight, and captured this dangerous path to Western Xia in one fell swoop.

A small door to Xixia was opened, Miao Zhu gave up all the baggage, 10,000 horses with torches and light clothing, spent a night, through more than 20 miles of dangerous mountain paths, more than 100 of them accidentally fell off the cliff and died, Miao Zhu this ruthless man did not frown.

By the next morning, he received the news that Miao Zhu had passed through the green grass stream, and he couldn't help but be shocked.

All the soldiers and horses in Western Xia are either taken out by the Empress Dowager Liang or they are defending on the border of the Western Front, if the evil wolf Miao Zhu is allowed to run to the hinterland of Western Xia, the consequences are unimaginable, and there are not many Yingli cities in Western Xia!

Luo wanted to return to the army to pursue Miao Zhu, but Yao Xiong's 20,000 horses were still eyeing him under the Rosa Ridge? Although Yao Xiong is not as famous as Miao Zhu, he is also the Xihe Army, and he is also Wang Shao's descendant army.

When he was in a dilemma, Yao Xiong under the Rosa Ridge also suddenly turned around and ran towards the direction of the Green Grass Stream, this intention could not be more obvious, it seems that Yao Xiong also intends to give up the hard bone of the Rosa Ridge and choose to pass slowly from the path of the Green Grass Stream.

Gangluo had no choice, leaving 3,000 men and horses to guard the Rosa Ridge, and he led the army to fight back against Miao Zhu, and by the way, sealed the flaw of the green grass stream.

However, two hours after the departure of the army led by Reckon, Yao Xiong appeared in Rosa Ridge like a vicious wolf with a mysterious whereabouts.

Before the 3,000 Xia troops on the ridge recovered from their astonishment, the 20,000 Xihe army had already launched a fierce attack, and it only took an hour to level the Rosa Ridge with incomparably strong momentum.

This time, Yao Xiong did not immediately march forward, but stayed in Luosaling and waited, and not long after, tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians poured in from the direction of the Xihe River, carrying tools and materials to build the fortress, and flocked to it.

The fortifications built by the Western Xia people in Luosaling before were aimed at the Great Song Dynasty, and the Song army took it and it was not conducive to defense, and now the Xihe Army plans to build the fortifications facing the Western Xia side.

On the same day, Lanzhou Wang Shu and Lei Xiu also led an army of 20,000 out of Lanchuan, and fought with the Western Xia Zhuoluo and the Southern Army Si Du to fight in the Hundred Beast Ridge, and the two sides were still in a stalemate.

At this point, the Western Army was fully launched, and the all-out war of the entire Great Song Dynasty entered the most intense state, and it was really from the sea to the Hexi Corridor, and the smoke of thousands of miles of frontier was rolling!

The strategy of the Great Song Dynasty was very clear, defending in the east and attacking in the west.

Hebei Sanguan, Hedong Yanmen Pass, Yanyan Road, Mizhi City, and Huanzhou are all on the defensive, just like a shield, as long as one of these shields is breached, it may cause an avalanche reaction, and the entire Great Song Dynasty may fall under the iron hooves of 400,000 Liaoxia.

The Xihe Army and the Lanzhou Army are the spears of the Great Song Dynasty, although there are only 50,000 troops in total, they bear the heavy responsibility of breaking the situation;

Now between Song, Liaoxia and Xia, it depends on whether the shield of the Song army was broken first, or whether the two legions of Xihe and Lanzhou first plunged their spears into the heart of Western Xia.
