The Qin army attacked Xiao Pass, and there was nothing too surprising, neither did it deceive people, nor did the Xixia people flee without a fight......

The Qin army only opened an army formation in front of the pass, and the various departments of the forbidden army in front of the palace stepped forward again and again to attack the city.

The defenders of Xiaoguan can be said to have suddenly received the enemy, the reasons for which have been said before, do not need to be re-elaborated, the Western Xia defenders are inevitably panicked, but under the leadership of the guards, they can't defend it, relying on the danger of the city, and the Qin army is fighting fiercely.

But in the end, there are few people and weak strength, Xiaoguan is a pass, there are 30,000 Western Xia defenders at the peak, and it can echo with Huizhou, the Qin people come north, most of them will be blocked here, and when the major military divisions are ready to stop, there will be no fighters to take......

But now, there are only more than 5,000 defenders left on Xiao Pass, plus the conscription of the people into an army, it is only 10,000 people.

On the first day, the first city wall of Xiao Pass changed hands several times, or the Qin Army Palace's former division of the forbidden army was insufficient, so it was desperately driven down the city by the Western Xia defenders, otherwise, it was replaced by the Tiger Wusheng Army, or those barbarian soldiers and horses, maybe Xiao Pass has been broken......

In fact, this is also Zhao Shi's deliberate doing, after the Xiao Pass, whether it is Huizhou, Weizhou, Lingzhou, it is a big city in Western Xia, the siege of the city, it is inevitable, as the main force of the palace division forbidden army, how can it always be idle in the back, see the battle early, but also let the palace front division forbidden soldiers more training.

In fact, as the old saying goes, the elite in the army are all played. Soldiers who have never been in battle. Practice and be diligent. No matter how well-equipped, it can't get out of the category of recruits.

On this day's battle, it can be seen that the combat strength of the various departments of the forbidden army in front of the palace is uneven, and the stamina is also insufficient. Such a man, let alone 100,000, even if it is 200,000 or 300,000, don't want to take that kind of fortified fortress head-on.

At the end of the day's battle, the generals of the forbidden army in front of the palace were also ashamed, and attacked the city several times, but they all retreated inexplicably, and the mistakes they made were actually common mistakes made by recruits.

Zhao Shi did not reprimand everyone harshly, but the generals of the forbidden army in front of the palace were not comfortable in their hearts......

Especially Hanzhong Xuanfu envoy Guo Meng. When he returned to his own army, he was even more furious. The dog who scolded several leading officers under his command was bloody, and it was one of his nephews who led the troops to attack the city, and he also ate his twenty military sticks at the moment, if Zhao Shi didn't say anything, otherwise, I'm afraid someone's head would not be left on the neck.

In fact, the generals of the various departments of the front division of the palace also knew their own shortcomings, but in front of more than 100,000 troops, the various departments took turns to attack the city, and there were not many casualties, but they did not make a appearance, and the marshal was still watching from behind.

Moreover, the capture of Xiao Pass, but the first achievement in the army, seeing it slip away at hand, who doesn't feel a fire in his heart?

In particular, most of these generals were promoted by virtue of their military merits, and looking at the appearance of the soldiers under them, the anger naturally came up......

On the second day of the siege, they all held back their strength and wanted to step forward, but at this time, Zhao Shi took the Tiger Wusheng Army led by Zhang Fengju as the main force of the siege.

The Tiger Martial Victory Army is almost the pro-army of the great general Zhao Shi, and the tradition of forming an army has always been to advance without retreating, and before the army, it is impossible to embarrass his own marshal.

Once the Tiger Wusheng Army stepped forward, Xiao Guan's fate was actually doomed, the soldiers of the Tiger Wusheng Army went forward one after another, a wave passed, the city was already full of Qin soldiers, in front of the elite of the Qin army like a wolf and a tiger, the Western Xia defenders had no resistance at all, and they were killed by the Qin army.

In less than half an hour, the battle flag of the Tiger Wusheng Army was fluttering at the head of the city, the city outside Xiaoguan was broken, and the defenders retreated to the second city wall.

Zhang Feng was still unsatisfied, and sent someone to Zhao Shi to ask for battle, wanting to break the Xiao Pass in one go, but was blocked by Zhao Shi.

Then the forbidden army of the front of the palace stepped forward, and the generals of the forbidden army of the front of the palace understood that this was not because the marshal wanted to give all the credit to his descendants, but to tell them and his subordinates what the elite of the army should look like.

In the shouting and scolding of the generals of the various departments, there is no need to mention the morale of the forbidden army in front of the palace, the second city wall is a few points taller and stronger than the outer city, but under the strong attack of the forbidden army in front of the palace, it was broken without even an hour, and the defenders retreated to the inner city......

By this time, more than 100,000 Qin troops had tightly surrounded Xiao Pass, and there had been no movement in the direction of Huizhou, and the Western Xia defenders who were waiting for reinforcements from Huizhou no longer had any will to fight.

Originally, Zhao Shi also planned to let the Shuzhong barbarians also come forward to fight a battle to see what was so strange about these Shuzhong barbarians, whether they were really as imagined, and could be a strong force for siege.

But the Western Xia defenders, who were wantonly ravaged, never gave him this chance again.

After two days of fierce fighting, the Western Xia garrison was less than 2,000, and if it was a field battle, it would have already collapsed, but Shoucheng was surrounded, and there was no chance to escape at all.

During the interval of the battle, Wang Heng, the general of the defending army, hastily persuaded several officers and lieutenants of the army, killed the defending general Gengcheng, opened the gate of the inner city, and surrendered to the Qin army.

At this point, the battle of Xiao Guan also came to an end.

The battle was not so tragic, after the war, the casualties were counted, the Qin army was up and down, more than 700 people were killed and wounded, more than 5,000 people were killed and wounded, and more than 2,000 people were captured.

There is nothing to say about this battle, in the northward march of the 150,000 army, this can only be regarded as a small battle, and there are a lot of casualties......

Of course, if it was in those years, it would be a great achievement to break through Xiao Pass under such a slight casualty, but now, the scene of the decline of Western Xia can be seen everywhere, and the important town of Xiao Pass has been lost, and the people who captured it did not feel any pride, and it is estimated that the Western Xia people lost this place, and they will not feel much pity......

Immediately, Zhao Shi ordered Guo Meng to lead 10,000 soldiers and horses to attack Huizhou.

In fact, when Guo Meng led the army to Huizhou, he occupied Huizhou City without spending a single soldier, because the Huizhou guards and Huizhou officials had all fled, leaving only a place of panicked people.

At that time, the army of Qingyang Town was under the city of Huizhou, and the Tubo soldiers and horses joined forces, and they could not be attacked repeatedly, but now, it is like this, and it would rather not make people feel emotional...... Originally, Guo Meng felt that his efforts were insufficient, but after winning Huizhou, he felt that Dashuai was really wise, of course, if he didn't have an old relationship with Dashuai, such a credit would not have fallen on his Guo's head.

At this time, the Qingtongxia natural danger has lost any meaning, and then, Guo Meng left 5,000 men and horses to defend the city with Huizhou, and he turned back to Xiaoguan, chasing the footprints of the army, and came in the direction of Weizhou.

However, Guo Meng only said that he captured Xiao Pass, and according to Zhao Shi's habits, he killed all the generals of the party clan, the people of Guanzhong, and all party members, or those involved in the party people, all of them.

It didn't take much effort, and left two thousand palace front division forbidden troops stationed here, and the army set off to the north, not far away, it was the hometown of the Xishou military division of Western Xia.

The reason why it is called the old place, because the Xishou Military Division is the first abandoned military division of the twelve military divisions when the Western Xia was founded, the Qin army in the summer, although it was a fiasco, but at the beginning of the summer, it still had an advantage, and it was that battle, and the Xishou military division that did not agree with the left side of the military division was destroyed in Xiao Pass.

Later, due to various accidents, the Xishou Military Division was not rebuilt, in fact, the position of the Xishou Military Division was replaced by the Xiaoguan garrison, but there was no military division, which was also one of the main reasons for the weakening of the Xiaoguan garrison.

Grain and grass are heavy, borrowing can not be compared with the major military divisions, in the status, also far behind, to this day, the Qin army to the north, within two days, Xiao Pass has been broken down, it can be said that the root of the bane has been planted many years ago.

Wherever the army passed, you can often see the remains of the military camp and the walled city, most of which were left by the Xishou military division in the past, but now they are barren and grassy, gloomy, and even wild beasts rarely appear in it.

Along the ancient road of the Tang Dynasty, the army rolled forward, and in less than a day, it was close to the important town of Weizhou......

At this time, the Tubo soldiers and horses on the left road, under the leadership of Li Bandit, the king of Guiyi, had already besieged Liangzhou, and the Tubo soldiers came too fast and came to Liangzhou, but they besieged the main force of the right wing military division that had no time to react at all.

The important town of Liangzhou is the first fortified city in the southwest of Xixia, and the ancient city of Xiliang, standing between the Hanhai desert, has been more than a thousand years, and has not fallen down after wind and rain.

For more than 1,000 years, the warriors of all ethnic groups in the northwest have been under this city, flowing blood, fighting bravely, and in recent hundreds of years, the fiercest competition here belongs to the party people, the Tibetans, the Han and the Uighurs.

However, in the end, the Dangxiang people were prosperous, and the Tibetan and Han people gradually became extinct here, and the Dangxiang Qiang people descended to the Uighur tribes of Ganzhou, and finally firmly held this northwest important land in their hands.

The south controls the Western Qin, the west Ping Tubo, and the north controls the Western Regions, so that the southwest of the Western Xia has a place of support, and for more than a hundred years, it has never changed hands to others......

Li bandit led more than 100,000 troops to surround Xiliang, and the Qin army is different, the Tubo soldiers almost all the way to loot, when the army surrounded the ancient city of Xiliang, there is no trace of the Xixia people around the walled city, only this thousand-year-old city stands there alone, desolate and helpless......
