Dai Zong took Zhao Chongyang to use the magic of Shenxing, ran thousands of miles, and finally arrived at about seven o'clock in the morning of August 13, when the sky was just dawning, in order not to disturb the enemy, the two of them found a trail to turn into the Dahengshan District in the place of dozens of miles above Feihong Fort, and then went straight to Zhejia Dazhai to ask the master and others about the battle between the two sides.

When I arrived at Zhejia Dazhai, I only saw my two sisters-in-law, Hu Jinfeng and Duan Qionghua. The two only knew that they could defect, and last night the two veterans designed to burn the Jinxia coalition army, and no one had sent the message back to the general village. Zhao Chongyang thought that since there was a spies, it would definitely be the best policy to launch it in advance. So they rested at the headquarters, had a good meal, and set off for the front again.

At ten o'clock in the morning, the two of them came to the third main position, and saw that the mountains and fields were pitch black, and there were people and horses burned to death everywhere. The fire on the position was basically extinguished, and the ground was still a little hot. The two did not dare to enter the ring of fire, but only looked with binoculars on the periphery, and saw that most of the tattered clothes of the burned people were the clothes of the Tangut people, and occasionally some of them were the clothes of the Jin people. But the corpses of the Song army were not seen, indicating that the master attacked with fire and burned many enemies, and most of them were cavalry. Because most of them fell with the war horses.

Zhao Chongyang thought that in this fire attack, it seems that there are twenty or thirty thousand people burned to death, especially the households with Jin people inside, which shows that the 10,000 horses of Jin Wushu have also lost a lot. In this way, the speed of the enemy's escape will be accelerated, and the pocket array originally arranged in ambush on all sides may not be suitable for use, and it will need to be adjusted flexibly and maneuverably. No matter how good a battle plan is, it must be adjusted appropriately and in a timely manner according to the changes in the situation, so that we can seize all fighters and take the initiative to destroy the enemy. The two chased them out directly along the central avenue, and finally on the way, they met the special combat team's Tanma and brought them to the location of the master Zhou Tong, at this time, it was already about two o'clock in the afternoon.

After the master and apprentice met, Zhou Tong briefed him on the battle situation on the southern battlefield: the 40,000 cavalry that fought against Liu Zhongwu received the order to retreat this morning, leaving 10,000 horses behind, and the rest quickly withdrew. At that time, Liu Shuai did not receive an order from the headquarters, did not understand the situation, and did not dare to risk pursuit, after receiving the order, Liu Zhongwu asked his son Liu Qi to lead 20,000 cavalry to decisively stop the 10,000 enemy troops. Soon, Lin Chong, Han Shizhong, Chao Gai, and Sun Li arrived with three thousand forbidden troops. Lin Chong told Liu Qi to continue to stop the enemy on the periphery, and the four of them led 3,000 forbidden troops to attack the enemy's cavalry formation.

Each of the four led a few hundred men and horses to march in unison, like four sharp swords rushing towards the enemy. Originally, Lin Chong's most handy weapon was a spear, and Sun Li was a double whip. But the two of them for two or three months, every day with the big knife team to practice the knife skills, the two also became experts in the use of knives, each of the four of them a special seventy pounds of steel knife, every time they meet the enemy, they are a knife, never drag mud and water, kill the Western Xia cavalry liver and gall. In the fierce battle, Han Shizhong raised his sword and killed the enemy's main general Li Chengxu with one sword. Lin Chong beheaded two partial generals, Chao Gai killed one partial general, and Sun Li also killed two partial generals. In less than half an hour, the main generals of the more than 10,000 cavalry were almost completely killed by four people. The remaining two commanders with the remnants of more than 2,000 cavalry knelt down and asked for surrender. Lin Chong accepted their surrender and told them to lay down their arms and go and bring back all the horses of their companions.

After listening to the master's briefing, Zhao Chongyang asked the master with a smile: "Now the strength of the enemy and us has changed, and the southern battlefield has eliminated 10,000 enemy cavalry, and it is estimated that the old breed in the north is not less than this number, in this way, not counting 10,000 gold soldiers, Western Xia alone has lost nearly 100,000 horses." Not only did we far surpass them in numbers, but we completely overshadowed them in terms of overall combat power and momentum. So, is it still necessary to put Li Chenghua's 80,000-strong army into the narrow valley, blow up the mountain, and leave them idle to die inside? If it is not necessary, take back the explosives, those thousands of explosives can make many shells, for us, it is still very expensive. ”

Zhou Tong said: "You made up your mind to let them out, fight with them in a dignified manner, subdue them and beat them to fear, let them put down their weapons willingly, and kneel down and surrender without a trace of resistance, right?" ”

"Yes, the so-called mourning is greater than the death of the heart, as long as the party members are dead, they will send the knife into their hands in the future, and they will not have the heart to resist. In this way, neither the Jin nor the Liao people will be able to provoke their resistance in the future. ”

"I think it's completely okay, no matter how fast Li Chenghua's army escapes, it will mainly be infantry, and it will not be able to break out of the valley and reach Feiyun Castle until tomorrow afternoon at the latest. The only way to do this is to let Dai Zong work hard again, find them in the seed division tomorrow morning, let them withdraw from the defense line, and wait outside Feiyun Castle. The elite soldiers of the breeders who have been trained for several months should also let them exert their might. Zhou Tong said.

Zhao Chongyang said with a smile: "It's better for me to go with Senior Brother Dai, I want to watch the big knives of the big knife team fly in person, and kill everyone in Western Xia on their backs." Here, it is still troublesome to master your old man to send orders to the commanders of all armies, the whole army will bring three days of grain and grass, advance lightly, and rush directly to the outside of Feiyun Castle to start the final decisive battle with the Western Xia army. ”

Zhou Tong nodded in agreement, and immediately asked people to draft military orders, and ordered the heralds to fly and pass them to all departments.

Zhao Chongyang and Dai Zong walked out of the Chinese military tent, tied armor horses to their legs, and strode into the distance......
