Ouyang Shuo's cold treatment made the Western Xia Emperor Li Yuanhao want to go crazy.

Li Yuanhao is also a smart person, knowing that Daxia does not respond positively, he must feel that the price offered by Xixia is not high enough, so he is reluctant to make a move.

But this is already Li Yuanhao's bottom line.

Could it be that you want to learn from Jin, Shu, and Sui to belong to Great Xia?

Li Yuanhao can't do it.

No matter who it is, as long as he sits on the throne of the emperor, he will not "abdicate and make way for the virtuous" until the last moment.

Li Yuanhao's countermeasure was to order the Yeli Wangrong brothers, no matter what, at all costs, to lead their troops back to help before the fall of Xingqing Mansion.

In the face of the menacing army of the Tractor Ministry, Li Yuanhao decided to take command in person.

The clock is fast into December.

In the aftermath of the disaster, the aftermath continues. In December, the northern land is already cold and bleak, and in some places there is even goose feather snow, dyeing the dark red earth.

Mongol Empire, Hala and Lin.

Genghis Khan looked at the snowflakes outside the hall and said, "Winter has arrived. ”

In just two months, because of the lack of forage, cattle and sheep died in herds on the grassland, and in order to keep the breeding sheep, some herdsmen even did not hesitate to take out their own rations to feed.

An unprecedentedly harsh test, scorching the prairie.

In exchange for grain, some border herdsmen did not hesitate to take risks and sell their dead cattle and sheep to the Central Plains, where they bought back grain and fed the remaining cattle and sheep.

Among them were many Mongolian aristocrats.

The most rampant is the border of the Great Zhou Dynasty, which seems to be intentionally connived at by the Great Zhou court.

However, in Daxia, which is close to the Great Zhou, the border checkpoints are extremely strictly guarded, and it is difficult to smuggle. However, in the entire Central Plains, the Great Xia Dynasty has the most abundant grain, which is really angry.

"Great Xia Dynasty."

Genghis Khan chewed on these four words, and for a moment he was a little distracted.

Throughout the history of China, there has never been a dynasty like Bactria that not only dominates China, but also crisscrosses the four seas, and it is rumored that the territory of Bactria is all over the world, which makes Genghis Khan fascinated.

At one point, he also built a super-empire across the Eurasian continent.

"It's also a great blessing to be able to bid with such people in the same era." Genghis Khan's pride is undiminished, and the more this is the case, the clearer his mind becomes.

He knew that now was not the time to confront Great Xia head-on.

Genghis Khan raised his eyes into the distance, and with the intuition of an emperor, he had a faint premonition that a fierce tiger was lurking quietly in the south of Western Xia. The Empire's attack on the road to Western Xia is afraid that there will be twists and turns.

"Perhaps, it's time to consider Ogedei's suggestion."

The Ögedai Khanate did not use troops against the Tubo Dynasty, of course, it was not because it was afraid of the Tubo Dynasty, but because the Tubo Dynasty was short of oil and water. Don't look at the vast territory of Tibet, but it is a barren land.

Wokotai fell in love with a piece of fat, but he didn't dare to act rashly.

Great Zhou Dynasty, Handan City.

This winter, Dichen is also very cold.

The decline of national strength, the difficulty of supporting alone, the rebellion of relatives, and a series of blows knocked Emperor Chen into the abyss and trough, and he almost didn't get up. It was Grandpa Dichen who came forward in person to cheer him up a little.

What is in front of Da Zhou is not how to fight against the Great Xia, but how to survive this cold winter.

Natural disasters and man-made disasters have almost exhausted the granary of Dazhou, and tens of millions of people are waiting to be fed, waiting for Emperor Chen to find a way. In desperation, Emperor Chen could only take risks.

He instructed Chun Shenjun, in the name of the Chamber of Commerce, to exchange the limited grain for dead cattle and sheep in the grassland. Because the herdsmen's life is more difficult, it makes the Dazhou Chamber of Commerce make a lot of money.

With the support of meat, this winter in Da Zhou is not too cold.

After dealing with the food crisis, Di Chen was already deflated, and he no longer had a trace of fighting spirit. Some nights, in the dead of night, Emperor Chen even faintly envied the heroes and wolves, who could be resurrected.

That's how ironic the world is.

…………

December 5, Xingqing Province.

Tuo Lei led 200,000 Mongolian iron cavalry and was already under the city.

Both sides are racing against time, and for Tuolei, if he can conquer Xingqing Mansion before the Western Xia reinforcements come back, then it will be a big victory.

Li Yuanhao is naturally the opposite.

The most powerful thing about the Mongolian iron cavalry is that there is no logistical drag. Just like the battle of Western Xia, the two armies only brought three days' rations, and the rest of the grain was all solved on the spot during the march.

It was precisely in this way that the people of Western Xia suffered great calamities.

In order to conquer Xingqing Mansion as soon as possible, the means of dragging down can be described as bloody, and he ordered his troops to drive hundreds of thousands of people from the surrounding villages and cities to attack the city for the Mongol army.

Countless poor people, under the persecution of the Mongolian cavalry's bows and arrows, rushed to the city gate, trying to knock on the gate of Xingqing Mansion with the most rudimentary wood.

Xingqing Mansion is the capital of a country, and the city gate is as solid as a rock, how can it be so easily breached?

Li Yuanhao has been driven to a dead end, and he is not qualified to speak of mercy at all, and the defenders in the city have no choice but to attack their comrades and shoot batch after batch of innocent people.

In just one day, the moat outside the city turned pale red.

And that's just the beginning.

In the days that followed, similar tragedies continued to unfold.

The entire moat has been filled with corpses, and the river has been cut off, not to mention the river, and even the canals in the city have been dyed red, which makes people look sideways.

When the people in the city found that even the well water was pale red, they vomited one by one.

In just five days, 600,000 people died outside Xingqing Mansion, and more than half of them were killed by the Mongol army outside the city.

In order to break the courage of the defenders of the city.

Such a crazy act finally provoked the anger of the heavens.

Knowing that their compatriots were ruthlessly slaughtered like pigs and dogs, the Western Xia army, which was still on the march, burst out with unprecedented potential, leaving a part of the break, and the remaining main force rushed to Xingqing Mansion.

In order to stop the Muhua Li Division, the broken Western Xia army launched a charge with death and life, with the intention of death, with grief and indignation, and moved forward.

In the face of such an enemy who is not afraid of life and death, the Mongolian iron cavalry does not feel frightened.

What was originally an inconspicuous sniper battle turned into an earth-shattering battle to the death, the two warring sides fought for a day and a night, and none of the 100,000 Western Xia troops survived.

Even the commander of the army, Ye Li, was killed on the spot.

After the war, there were no three out of ten Muhua Li Divisions.

The victorious Mongolian warrior Mu Huali, feeling the aftermath of the catastrophe, bowed deeply to the battlefield strewn with corpses, and said, "This is a group of opponents worthy of respect. ”

After this battle, Muhua Li suffered heavy casualties and was no longer able to pursue, so he could only rest on the spot.

…………

On December 9, Yeli Wangrong led an army of nearly 300,000 and rushed back to Xingqing Mansion.

The scales of victory were again tilted in favor of Western Xia.

But as soon as this Western Xia army arrived on the battlefield, it suffered a big loss.

It turned out that Tuo Lei once again took advantage of the revenge of the Western Xia army and took advantage of the situation to camouflage the camp, leaving only a few Mongolian cavalry in the camp, and the rest were dressed up by local people.

Ignorant of the enemy's situation, the Western Xia army, bent on revenge, rushed into the Mongolian camp, and when they found out that it was an empty camp, it was too late.

Outside the camp, the sound of horses' hooves was heard.

Tuo Lei personally led his troops, covering the slaughter from both sides of the camp, and rushed into the camp with iron horses, waving a butcher's knife at the Western Xia army in a panic, setting off a monstrous killing.

The Western Xia army struggled to support, and finally under the command of Yeli Wangrong, they fought their way out of a bloody road, but they suffered heavy casualties and low morale.

The use of mines is really miraculous.

Li Yuanhao in the city got the report and almost sat on the dragon chair.
