Chapter 280: The danger of destroying the country in Western Xia, I, Zhang Shanfu, want to make meritorious contributions

Western Xia court.

Many of the courtiers were in a gloomy cloud.

The Empress Dowager asked nervously:

"Brother Wei, isn't there any latest news on the Lingzhou front?"

Brother Wei Mingwei was silent for a moment, shook his head and said:

"The Queen Mother doesn't have to worry, after several times of attrition, the Song Kingdom has lost nearly half of its men."

"As long as we persevere, we will win in the end!"

He has not yet received the news of the recent battle on the Lingzhou front, and only knows that the soldiers and horses of the Great Song Dynasty have surrounded Lingzhou, which is menacing.

As long as Lingzhou is broken, Xingqing Mansion is in front of you.

Therefore, everyone in Western Xia was in danger.

The Minister of State sneered:

"King Yizheng, what you said is good, although the Song people have lost a lot, but our country's elite has also lost most of it."

"Cao Bin's house directly razed the Hengshan camp, and those soldiers and horses were the elite left by the previous king."

As he spoke, he still couldn't understand his hatred and said:

"If it weren't for your strategy of clearing the wilderness, how could we easily lose the land east of the river."

"You can also see the effect now, the Song army has only lost half of the people!"

"The gains outweigh the losses, the gains outweigh the losses!"

Brother Wei Mingwei's face was a little calm, and he saluted the Empress Dowager with difficulty:

"Queen Mother, the minister never expected that Cao Bin, the thief, would see through my plan from the beginning."

"Now all the Song countries rely on his help, and the soldiers are in Lingzhou, this is all the fault of the ministers, please punish the Queen Mother!"

When the Queen Mother heard this, her eyes were full of resentment, and she secretly gritted her teeth and said:

"Cao Bin, this evil thief, is really haunted!"

didn't hide the slander, but ignored the Queen Mother's change of topic, pressed step by step, and angrily reprimanded:

"King of the Council, you also know that you are incompetent? Now it has made me die in Great Xia. ”

"What face do you have in the court that you are not ashamed to talk about?"

"Still haven't handed over the military power seal?"

Brother Wei Mingwei was stunned for a moment, and was about to speak, but the Queen Mother shouted:

"That's it! Now that the army is pressing, the prime minister wants to fight inwardly, or think about how to retreat from the enemy? ”

didn't hide Pang was a little speechless, my sister personally went down to help Brother Wei fight in the ring with herself, what else could I do?

At this moment, an attendant said:

"The Empress Dowager, the lord of the country, and Marshal Ren Duoding sent a report."

"He led an army of 100,000 to destroy Zhang Shanfu's camp, and killed 30,000 Song troops, seeing that Lingzhou had been lost, and now he is garrisoning at the crossing of the Yellow River!"

When the ministers heard the first half of the sentence, they were about to smile and celebrate, but they didn't expect the second half of the sentence to give them bad news.

"What? Lingzhou has been lost, it's over! ”

"It's better to move the capital......

For a while, there was a lot of discussion in the Western Xia court, and he could barely control his emotions.

Lingzhou is the gateway to Xingqing Mansion, and as soon as Lingzhou is lost, Western Xia will become a fish on the board.

Even the Empress Dowager was shocked and a little overwhelmed.

Brother Wei Mingwei hurriedly shouted:

"Silence, silence! What's so scary? ”

"Renduo Ding's talent is not inferior to the ancestor, even if Lingzhou is lost, he will take it back!"

"Didn't he destroy most of the Song army as soon as he arrived in Lingzhou?"

The crowd calmed down a bit.

The Empress Dowager asked a little apprehensively:

"Brother Wei, can Mingding win?"

Brother Wei Mingwei said very confidently:

"Marshal Renduo is under the command of the elite soldiers and horses of the Twelve Prison Military Divisions, and he will definitely win!"

The Empress Dowager was just about to breathe a sigh of relief, and a captain ran up to the hall in a hurry, and knelt down in the tunnel with a "poof":

"Too ...... Queen Mother, something is wrong! ”

"The Song army dug a big river and flooded the camp with water, and Cao Bin, the general of the Song State, attacked and killed with a crossbow array, and the handsome horses of Renduo could not do it, so they were shot by the Song army!"

"My army of 100,000 is completely annihilated!"

When the Empress Dowager heard this, she only scolded: "Cao thief!" ”

I didn't take a breath and fainted directly.

All of a sudden, the Xixia court was in a mess, and even Brother Wei didn't know what to do!

The soldiers and horses led by Rindoding were the last elite of Western Xia.

Now there are only 5,000 foot battalions, 5,000 proton troops and 1,000 iron harriers left in Xingqing Mansion, and the rest are 40,000 or 50,000 defenders of each village.

For the Song army's 100,000 border troops, this is tantamount to a drop in the bucket.

After a long time, the Queen Mother came to her senses, and she wanted to cry:

"Zhuqing, my Xixia is in danger of exhaustion, and I am in urgent need of hanging, and now that the country is in sight, what should I do?"

Brother Wei Mingwei was distressed when he saw the Queen Mother like this, and hurriedly said:

"Queen Mother, don't worry, Brother Wei personally guards the city and swears to fight to the death with Song Jun!"

"As long as the reinforcements defending the Western Regions arrive, Xingqing Mansion will be saved."

didn't hide the lie and didn't have the heart to fight, so he nodded hurriedly and said:

"Yes, yes, the Emperor of Liao has sent an envoy to the Song Dynasty to mediate, and news will come soon."

"The minister sent an envoy again, said bitterly, and urged the Liao State to send troops......"

Lingzhou City.

The Yang family's six mothers are repairing the city defenses and accepting the fleeing Huanqing Army soldiers.

A few days ago, Cao Bin did not completely dig the embankment of the Yellow River, but only filled the canal in the east of Lingzhou City, and then let the water overflow and soak for dozens of miles.

In this way, Mrs. She reluctantly agreed.

Although the flood was controlled within a certain range and no one was drowned, the Western Xia cavalry also completely lost its usefulness.

That night, Cao Bin cooperated with the trapping army with a crossbow array and broke through the Western Xia camp.

After the complete destruction of the Western Xia cavalry, everyone did not delay at all, immediately crossed the Yellow River, marched north, and went straight to Xingqing City, the capital of Western Xia.

Only the Yang family Liuniang was left to lead more than 10,000 people to defend Lingzhou.

When Liuniang was busy with military affairs, Zhang Shanfu rushed back with thousands of people in embarrassment.

Although the flood was not great, he was also tormented by muddy roads for several days.

The soldiers were hungry and full, and most of them fled on the way.

If it weren't for the fact that his personal guards were very powerful and took care of him, with his seriously injured body, he might have died of illness in this harsh environment.

Seeing that only Liuniang was left in the city, Zhang Shanfu said angrily:

"Wori, who is so lacking in virtue and flooding me, don't you know that Ben Shuai is nearby?"

“...... What about my army, what about Cao Bin, what about She Taijun? ”

Liuniang saw him lying on the stretcher, covered in mud, and it was not good to laugh, so she could only blush:

"Report to Marshal Zhang, Uncle Zhongjing and Old Taijun have already led the army to Xingqing Mansion!"

When Zhang Shanfu heard this, he suddenly came to his senses, and he didn't care about finding out who released the water, so he hurriedly said:

"Hurry up and prepare a meal for Ben Shuai's people, I will catch up with them immediately and personally command the destruction of Xia."

After eating Housai at sea, Zhang Shanfu couldn't care about being tired, and hurriedly ordered his guards to carry himself in front and cross the river to chase Cao Bin.

Yang Liuniang looked at their backs like flowers, and was a little speechless, this guy was so greedy.

is seriously injured, and he is still tossing like this, so he is not afraid that his waist will be completely broken?
