Li Yuanhan didn't sleep at all tonight, although the irritable Ye Liqi is not so likable among the party nobles, but he has nothing to say to Li Yuanhan's cousin, since Li Yuanhan was fifteen years old and initially recognized by the family and began to enter the Western Xia officialdom, this cousin is obedient to him, and the love between brothers is not deep, but the world is unpredictable, the general died on the battlefield is the best destination, but the cousin died in front of his eyes or Li Yuanhan was inexplicably sad, how could he not sleep with peace of mind, simply held the Han people's military book and then read it in the dim light.

When there was an abnormal noise in the camp, Li Yuanhan thought it was the soldiers making trouble, and now the military discipline in the Western Xia Army has gradually collapsed, this kind of thing is common, Li Yuanhan didn't care much, this is also related to his first time to unify the army, and also related to his familiarity with reading Han articles since he was a child, what he wants is Mount Tai collapsed in front of him and his face does not change, and the Confucian general style of the opponent is wiped out between talking and laughing, but as the sound grows louder, he is not so stable, and before he gets up and goes out to see clearly, several pro-soldiers have rushed in with blood, He only had time to say, "What are you doing?" Several of his own soldiers had already mounted him on the horses that were ready to be outside.
Before he could understand what was going on, there were already people shouting everywhere in the camp, "We are surrounded by the Qin army, everyone flee quickly......"
"The Lord is dead, and those who lay down their weapons will not kill ......"
It was dark that he couldn't see how many Qin troops had come to the camp, but he was already terrified in his heart, the kind of character who could command Ruo Ding without being tempered and turn the tide was only heard in legends, no matter how majestic this party nobleman was in another time and space, but now he was only nineteen years old, and he didn't have much prestige in the eyes of his subordinates, finally rushed out of the camp and disappeared into the darkness.
The darkness of the night is like an indissolvable ink, in such darkness, fear spreads like a plague, the whole camp finally boils like boiling water, black shadows are flashing everywhere, there are warriors everywhere swinging knives and slashing wildly, there is no distinction between friend and foe, it is not that no one wants to light a torch, but immediately become the target of the public, crossbow arrows, weapons are headless and brainless, these still somewhat sane Tangut people are either shot into hedgehogs, or cut into meat paste, after the Tangut people have no command of the main general, Utterly in the chaos, more people scurried around like headless flies, howling out of fear or despair from their mouths, attacking every figure that came close.
Lying not far from the camp, Zhao Shi also looked at the chaotic camp with palpitations, as he said before, in such a battlefield, most of them rely on luck, fortunately their luck is good, they did not encounter stubborn resistance, after scattering the horses, only with a team of Tanguts guarding the horses, these Tangut people are quite complete, but there is no fighting spirit, they were scattered as soon as they rushed, and then they didn't know what direction they were in, let alone how many people they killed, anyway, all the way forward, Rushing out of the camp, the other teams were nowhere to be seen, and there was nowhere to look.
When they arrived at a secluded place outside the camp, everyone lay on the ground like a broken frame, and then counted the number of people, there were still eleven less, and everyone was more or less injured, and it was also a shame that Zhao Shi had not stopped exercising for a year, otherwise he might be one of the missing people, and looked at the people lying on the ground around him, even Li Jinhua was lying there without any image at this time, it is estimated that even if there is a child with a sharp blade now, he can kill all his people, right? Zhao Shi also smiled bitterly in his heart, and rushed back again? If the Western Xia people gather now, tonight will really be a failure.
The light of the day gradually brightened, the light rain had stopped, and a layer of hoarfrost spread on the ground, and the sound of fighting could no longer be heard in the camp of the Tangut people, except for the cries of the wounded, and the scene became clear as if the veil had been lifted with the appearance of light.
After a night of tossing, these Qin army men who were originally fierce were all white, with frost flowers hanging on the corners of their eyes and eyebrows, trembling like a sudden illness, not much different from the ghosts who had just crawled out of the coffin, but everyone's eyes were full of excitement, from the battle situation last night, the Xixia people were finished, they created a miracle, a hundred strong men attacked the enemy camp at night, and defeated several times their own Xixia cavalry, they can already imagine that their names are praised by the people, and then it is time to harvest the results, I have to cut off a few heads of Western thieves, those are all military merits.
Gathered a few war horses that had not run far, and slowly approached the camp of the Tanguts, without encountering any danger, and several other squads also gathered, and the sound of horses' hooves sounded, and the cavalry left on the hill also rushed over in time.
The camp of the Tangut people was full of corpses, the blood was washed away by the rain, and then frozen, piece by piece, like the painting of a poor painter, there were basically no living people in the camp, and they were injured, and they could die if they lay down for a moment at night, and even if they were lightly injured, they were all left with a breath of life.
"Chasing ...... They can't run...... Far...... Want...... A few alive, go to a person to inform the hillock...... The people on the ground are here to clean up the battlefield......" Li Jinhua spoke intermittently, her whole body trembled like chaff, and her face was also gray, but the soldiers standing in front of her were all awe-inspiring and obeyed, and immediately got on their horses and left, victory is always the best way to establish authority......
A bonfire was lit in the tent, dispelling the cold chill, Zhao Shi's face quickly returned to normal, he was now sitting firmly next to the bonfire, not far away a few military cao were reporting the results to Li Jinhua, who was wearing a thick cotton coat, but his eyes kept glancing at him.
"Three hundred and eighty-six thieves were killed in this battle, plus the results of yesterday's day, a total of five hundred and seventy, according to the orders of the adults...... The wounded also cut off their heads as military merits......" Speaking of this, the old soldier Cao, who looked to be in his forties, slanted his eyes slightly, and glanced at Zhao Shi, the killing of prisoners is unknown, although there is no clear rule in the army that prisoners are not allowed to be killed, but the generals will not kill prisoners, this Jian yì was proposed by Zhao Shi in front of everyone, the reason is even simpler, they have no ability to let these prisoners live, and they can't take care of these prisoners, and Li Jinhua did not hesitate to adopt his Jianyì, for the following people, Looking at Zhao Shi's eyes, it became a little less pure.
"Twelve horses, sixteen pairs of armor, and a number of ...... of grain and grass were captured."
"And ...... After the capture was identified, the wrapped corpse was indeed Ye Liqi, the thief chieftain Li Yuanhan fled without a trace, the pursuing cavalry has not returned, and the results of the battle have not yet been determined......"
Everyone's eyes turned again, but this time it was mostly envied, it was the general of the Western Xia army, a hundred ordinary soldiers on the head of a person, this team's luck is really good, a little amazing, the first time I went to the battlefield to encounter such a great achievement, it was really lucky, and the gods couldn't stop it.
"Our army suffered forty-eight casualties in the night attack, the bodies have all been recovered, the vehicle transporting bows and crossbows was destroyed by the Xia army, one hundred and sixty bows and crossbows were lost, more than 1,000 crossbow arrows were lost, and the grain and grass were unharmed...... In addition to the soldiers who died in yesterday's battle, our army killed 985 soldiers and wounded 872 in this battle...... Brigade commander Chang Xin died in battle, and brigade commander Wang Qi died in battle...... Yuhou Chen Qian was seriously injured...... "Hearing the casualties, everyone's excitement also fell, Li Jinhua bit her lip tightly, and didn't speak for a long time, as for the matter of the bow and crossbow, she instructed it, and the bow and crossbow that Zhao Shi unloaded privately were counted in the battle damage, I believe that with this big victory, no one will count how much the grain transportation team has lost.
Half a day later, more than 30 cavalry came back in high spirits, one person in his hand carrying a few bloody heads, and the horse also dragged a few live ones with ropes, pursued dozens of miles, captured one hundred and eighty-four people, and captured eighteen alive, but Li Yuanhan fled faster, did not meet, the cavalry did not have any casualties, the camp was jubilant at this time, and there was no more gloomy and bleak situation yesterday, they were the team transporting grain and grass, the food was sufficient, and the victory was not great, although their own casualties were also heavy, but still built more than ten bonfires on this hillThe large pieces of meat were put into the pot, the aroma wafted, and everyone's faces were filled with joy......
"This is the Iron Harrier of Western Xia, he ***, most of the 1,000 Iron Harriers were killed by us, haha, even Ye Liqi was left behind by us, great merit, this is definitely a great merit......" Li Xunyi excitedly took his palm, his face was scratched by a weapon in the dark, just applied the wound medicine, but his face was not well tied, and he wrapped a few white cloths indiscriminately, only his nose and mouth were exposed, and there was an eye, and he spoke sullenly, looking a little weird.
The people next to him were also smiling, when they learned from the captive that they and the others were facing the Iron Harrier of Western Xia, a layer of cold sweat broke out on everyone's backs, what does the Iron Harrier mean? That is the elite of the elite of the Western Xia army, that is, the battle of Haoshuichuan that year, the Western Qin won a miserable victory, and the iron harriers killed at that time were only hundreds, and the iron harriers in the entire Western Xia army were only 30,000, and this time less than 3,000 grain guards broke a thousand iron harriers, what is this not a great achievement? As for casualties? Encountering the elite cavalry of Western Xia with the strength of the grain protection army, this casualty is really insignificant compared to the results achieved.
"We're in a dangerous situation right now, and we're in danger of being wiped out at any moment, what are you happy about?" An indifferent voice interjected, and he poured a basin of cold water on everyone.
