The hot summer has finally passed, and by the end of July and the beginning of August, the weather in the Oyokoyama area has finally cooled.

But people's hearts feel a little opposite, and they feel hotter in their hearts. In fact, it is not surprising to have this feeling, the war is imminent, and everyone will inevitably have a sense of depression in their hearts.

Standing on the top of the slope of Feiyun Castle, Zhao Chongyang led all the generals and held binoculars, and could clearly see that the camp tents of the more than 200,000 troops in Western Xia stretched for hundreds of miles from north to south, and the head and tail could not be seen at all.

All the men and horses on both sides are already in place. For more than a month, the two sides have practiced every day, grinding their fists and preparing for the arrival of the big war.

On the first day of August, the weather was cool. The commander of the Western Xia, Xuanwang Li Chenghua, the chief general of the Jin soldiers, Wushu, and the military advisor Wanyan Xiyin jointly posted and invited Zhao Chongyang to the Pingba area two miles before Feiyun Fort to discuss the scale and time of the battle. That is, the question of what kind of battle to fight, how and when. Zhao Chongyang has hired his master to be the deputy commander of this war, and the master and apprentice brought Fang Tianjie, Luda, Wu Song, Chao Gai, Li Kui, Bao Daoyi and others to the meeting. Pang Wanchun accompanied a hundred special combat soldiers to protect him.

The two lords will come to the designated place, each on his horse, and greet each other at a distance of about twenty paces.

After greeting each other, Wanyan Xiyin said: "Since the men and horses on both sides have been assembled, let's talk about how to fight this battle?" I think you can pull all the men and horses down the mountain, everyone set up a formation on the plain, and kill a few generals and soldiers against soldiers, and decide the outcome of the battle, what do you Zhao Gongzi think? ”

Zhao Chongyang laughed and said: "Are you all fools when we are the generals of the Great Song Dynasty? If you don't stick to the good hill and the walled fort, run to the bottom of the mountain and fight with you fairly. Your cavalry is more than half and highly mobile. Our cavalry is less than 30 percent, and when you charge into battle with cavalry, we have no danger to defend, how can we resist? You have the ability to abandon your horses and go up the mountain to fight us on foot, and if we lose, the mountain will be yours. If you don't have the ability to attack, even if you lose. If you don't want to fight, then you are in a stalemate with each other. We have prepared food and grass for a year, and we are ready for a protracted war. I just don't know how long you have been preparing food and grass when you came from afar? I don't know if you have prepared winter clothes, the ancient poem said, 'Hu Tian will snow in August', and it will snow in another one or two days, this they Xixia people know better than me, I want to see you Yan Xiyin is known as the first wise man in the Jin country, not seeking a quick victory, but also want to wait for us to come down the mountain to take the initiative to attack, it is really ridiculous. ”

Zhao Chongyi's words, clearly praising the real damage, even mocking and sarcastic, Yan Xiyin couldn't get enough of it. Indeed, this time they brought 10,000 elite soldiers from thousands of miles away to support Western Xia, if the thunder was loud and the rain was small, and they withdrew their troops without a fight, it was indeed that they were afraid of the Song army and Zhao Chongyang, and naturally they should have lost. When Yan Xiyin was silent, Wushu was young and vigorous after all, brave and good at fighting, since he followed his father to fight, he had never been defeated, where could he endure this bird breath, and he roared: "Your Western Army of the Great Song Dynasty is remarkable, and my 10,000 golden iron cavalry can reach your 100,000." Your surname Zhao Hugh is going to be rampant, don't think that your Dahengshan defense line is impregnable, ten days later, I will personally lead 10,000 Dajin Iron Cavalry as the vanguard, first take your Feiyun Castle, and then attack the Zhejia Dazhai in the depths of Daheng Mountain, and defeat you completely. So be it, the war will start in ten days, and then I won't give you another war letter. ”

A meeting that amounted to the exchange of war letters ended abruptly, and then both sides went back to camp for the final arrangements.

After Jin Wushu returned to the camp, he asked Li Chenghua, the king of Xuan, to convene a military meeting of the main generals that night to study countermeasures.

Originally, according to the original plan, Jin Wushu was supposed to take 10,000 Jin soldiers of the Jin Kingdom as a mobile force, and he was dispatched last. But because he said angrily today that he would take 10,000 elite gold soldiers as a vanguard. If you say it, it is difficult to chase the horse, how can you regret it? What's more, for the Tangut people, there are golden soldiers who have won a hundred battles to take the lead, why not be a good thing?

Since the Jin soldiers are all vying for the vanguard, Li Chenghua, the king of Xuan, naturally wants to match him with a good match. Therefore, Li Chenghua asked the veteran Jin King Li Chengxun to lead 50,000 infantry to cooperate with Jin Wushu, and each sent a general to lead 30,000 horses to feint to attack Feihong Fort and Feiying Fort, and Li Chenghua led 160,000 troops for maneuvering. Then Li Chenghua told everyone his overall plan: send someone to inform Zhe Keqiu, the original plan was changed, and let him transfer the 50,000 main forces of the Zhejia army to Feiyun Fort and the hills on both sides of the fort, on the first day, the two sides pretended to fight each other during the day, regardless of victory or defeat, late at night Jin Wushu personally led the Jin soldiers to attack, he pretended to meet the battle in a hurry, was outnumbered, and the Jin people were brave, so he had to abandon Feiyun Fort and retreat to the second line. The next day, the two sides fought with real swords and guns during the day, and repeated the old tricks at night, and then the family army was defeated again. Defeated three times in three consecutive nights, at this time the army had penetrated within 200 of Daheng Mountain. On the fourth day, the 20,000 Zhejia army in the rear in the name of receiving wounded soldiers to the rear to heal their wounds, when passing through the position of the Zhongjia army, they suddenly launched a sneak attack, and the main force of the Zhejia army adjacent to the position also suddenly attacked the Zhongjia army from the flank, and the Jinxia coalition army in front continued to attack, and the Zhongjia army was attacked from three sides, and it was bound to collapse completely. At this time, the Jinxia coalition army took advantage of the victory to pursue, using 50,000 soldiers and horses to block the rescuers in the north, 50,000 soldiers and horses to block the rescuers in the south, and the remaining 150,000 main forces, plus 10,000 Jin soldiers, and 5,000 Iron Harriers who were feared by the Western Song Army like snakes and scorpions.

After listening to the plan of King Xuanwang Li Chenghua, Jin Wushu and Wanyan Xiyin nodded again and again, and agreed with a little addition. Even Li Chengxun, a veteran who thinks he is the god of war in Western Xia, feels impeccable. sighed in his heart: "I really deserve to be a young wise general in Western Xia, it seems that my desire to regain military power in Western Xia has been disappointed again." It turned out that five years ago, the army of Western Xia had always been in charge of Li Chengxun, the king of Jin, and Li Chengqian found that his prestige was rising and there was a danger of threatening the throne, so he seized a small mistake from him, dismissed his military power, and commanded the army by Li Chengshun, who was of average ability. This time, he was re-employed, and he was only made to be a deputy commander......
