The Bang Ling Lang in the front row fled quickly, and as Han Chinese who had been taken captive, what they were most afraid of was facing the Han army.

Because the Western Army was so eager for heads, they even cut off the heads of their own soldiers, so that the Great Song Dynasty ordered the soldiers to have tattoos on their faces.

And they are party hairstyles, and if they are caught, they will inevitably be cut off!

In the past, when they encountered the Han army, they fought bravely, and the purpose was nothing more than to save their lives.

But now I don't dare to fight, the death in the first few rows is so miserable, I still don't know what the hell did it.

The chaotic rout of the Lang troops completely disrupted the passage reserved between the military formations. The infantry of the captured army in the rear could no longer advance, and were even crumbling by the rout.

The Daming infantry army that chased out didn't care about the big formation between running, and only formed a team to charge.

They ran with the rout, and the Western Xia soldiers in front of them were congested on their own, and their speed slowed down in a blink of an eye and they were caught up. The Ming army squad was dedicated to killing the enemy troops who tried to resist in vain, and the Western Xia Governor team finally managed to solve the local chaos, and was soon killed and fled.

The Western Xia troops in the rear didn't know what was going on at all, and they only heard a burst of artillery in front, and the friendly troops were inexplicably defeated.

A small number of elite formations formed a formation to resist the impact of the rout, but more of the capture army could not be stabilized, when Li Yanxian came with the cavalry, the two capture troops in front of him were so frightened that they turned around and fled.

Li Yanxian led the miscellaneous cavalry and slashed the routed soldiers who stood in the way all the way.

He did not chase to the end, but let the herald give the flag order, and split the four thousand cavalry in two.

Li Yanxian led half of the cavalry and interspersed diagonally towards the left front. The subordinate general Yan Ping led the other half and interspersed diagonally towards the right front. The two worked together with the Ming infantry to cut the enemy army that had not yet been defeated, cutting the enemy army into several pieces like a scalpel.

The Western Xia general Yeli Fulu was in the rear cavalry formation, and he could only command the cavalry troops now, because the infantry was completely out of control.

Even his cavalry was attacked by the rout, blocking the way.

A mature general who knows what to do now.

Remove!

How much can be withdrawn, otherwise it will all have to be explained here.

Thousands of Western Xia cavalry all retreated, fleeing with the defeated infantry, and soon left the infantry far behind.

Li Yanxian and Yan Ping led the cavalry to rush back and forth, and with the cooperation of the Ming infantry, they also formed the Western Xia infantry, which were scattered in formation one after another, and then began to flee in groups.

Only then did they ride north, cutting large groups of routs into smaller and more scattered units along the way, so that the infantry could come and capture or kill the enemy.

As for the Western Xia cavalry that ran away, they would definitely not be able to catch up.

There were too many routs in front of him, and the terrain was too narrow to bypass, so he could only watch the enemy flee.

Li Yuchang divided his troops to prevent Gong Xiu from crossing the river from the south, and at the same time tried to cross the river from the east to attack.

Before he had completed the deployment of his troops, and before he had even led his troops out of the city, the wrought iron field artillery aimed at the mother city opened fire. Immediately, the other half of the Shenji Battalion, which did not attack the city with the army, rode inferior horses to the battlefield on the west side, and stood by the river to shoot at Li Yuchang's troops out of the city.

And the main force of the Western Xia field on the opposite bank has been defeated at this moment!

Shooting across the river at a distance of less than 100 meters, the Western Xia soldiers who had just left the city completely became a live target for muskets and artillery.

Even the forty tiger squat guns on the battlefield on the north side are moving towards the river. After the quick disassembly, the two of them carried and ran, and the tiger squat cannon was transferred quickly.

What kind of battle is this?

Li Yuchang looked around blankly, his ability, as well as the ability of the Western Xia Army, did not play a hundred percent, and the battle situation was inexplicably erosive.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

A cannonball flew over and fell into the Western Xia army, killing and wounding a string in an instant, and flesh and blood flew everywhere the shell passed.

The terrain is so cool, narrow and congested, with dense queues.

If the Song army comes to attack the city, it will be an infinite disadvantage, no matter how many troops there are, no matter how good the equipment is, there will be no room to play.

But now it's muskets and artillery, and the Western Xia army has nowhere to hide!

"Mingjin retreats!"

Han Huaizhong at the head of the city hurriedly ordered, he had already found Li Yuchang sleepwalking.

"Dangdangdang......"

The sound of the gong woke Li Yuchang up, and he was just about to say something, but the soldiers around him suddenly fell, but he didn't know where a bullet was flying.

"Prime Minister go quickly!" Another soldier shouted in horror.

The main force of Western Xia, which had just left the city, was fired by muskets and artillery, and hurried back to the city without doing anything.

Han Huaizhong was also a general of the army, and only opened the north gate of the city, so that Gong Xiu's river-crossing troops could not chase into the city.

Gong Xiu was about to take advantage of the victory to attack the city, but he also received an order to withdraw the army, and Yang Zhi asked him to cross the river and come back.

"What kind of battle did this birdman fight? Like a! ”

Gong Xiu was very dissatisfied with Yang Zhi, thinking that Yang Zhi was too timid and cowardly.

Gong Xiu now had 6,000 soldiers in his hands to cross the river, and the enemy army fled into the city in a panic, and there were not many enemies left at the head of the city. He only needs one or two thousand casualties, and if he is lucky, he will be able to capture the city smoothly.

He even suspected that Yang Zhi deliberately suppressed himself and prevented him from taking the lead in the first place!

But the military order was like a mountain, and Gong Xiu had to retreat honestly.

On the side of Zicheng, the guard Zhang Sui still wanted to defend to the death, and even tried to fight in the streets.

But one by one, the mandarin duck squads rushed to the gap with bows and arrows, and at the collapse of the city wall with complex terrain, the advantages of the mandarin duck array were brought into play. Especially with the addition of musketeers, musketeers cooperated with the squad leader to shoot arrows, and the Western Xia defenders were completely unable to parry.

The Western Xia soldiers who threw stones on the broken city wall saw the defeat of the reinforcements, and they shouted in panic, and the cowardly ones directly abandoned the city and fled.

So, the guard Zhang Sui also ran away!

He didn't dare to run north, where there were Li Yanxian's cavalry, and the south and west were also Ming troops. All that remains is the eastern mountains, which are not too steep, but undulating and endless.

Zhang Sui rode out of the city on horseback, and abandoned his horse to climb the mountain, with only his son and a few personal soldiers by his side.

The sub-city was easily taken, and there were not many casualties, most of them were unlucky when they passed through the gap, and they were thrown to death by the broken city walls on both sides. As for the wounded, they were mostly shot with bows and arrows.

Sizi City, which was close at hand and the Southern Army, could not be taken by the Great Song Dynasty for decades, and the Ming army only took half a day, with only a few hundred casualties and less than 100 casualties.

Under the complete victory, Gong Xiu rode up in anger and asked, "Why did you order the withdrawal of troops?" ”

Yang Zhi said: "Cooked ducks, why increase casualties? ”

Gong Xiu asked, "What should we do if the enemy's reinforcements arrive tomorrow?" ”

Yang Zhi said with a smile: "In the Great Plains or deep mountains and dense forests, I dare not guarantee that I will defeat the Western Xia soldiers." But in the terrain in front of me, I can eat as much as I come, and I am afraid that the Western Xia reinforcements will not come! If it weren't for the grain and grass, the prince ordered a quick battle, and I had to surround him for a few months and slowly send reinforcements. ”

Gong Xiu had nothing to say, only glared at Yang Zhi, and left in a huff.

His first achievement, and he also captured the Henan Military Division!

Yang Zhi sighed, called a few old brothers, and told the specific situation: "Next, if you attack the mother city, let Gong Xiu go first, otherwise he will not be happy." ”

"I don't have any opinion." Li Jinyi didn't care, he led his troops to capture Zicheng just now.

The rest of the generals were angry, but because of Yang Zhi's face, it was really difficult to say anything, and they only looked at Gong Xiu more and more unpleasantly.

Yang Zhi sent his own soldiers to spread the word, and when Gong Xiu heard that he could go first, he instantly became happy again, thinking that this surnamed Yang still had a conscience.

This party is the main general, which is really a headache, and Yang Zhi is not happy.

But Gong Xiu belonged to the group with capital, pulling nearly a thousand miners into the group, and he knew Zhu Ming very early.

Although Zheng Fatzi's wife and brother were exiled for corruption, they only questioned themselves and their wives and children, and the Li family was not too implicated. This Gongxiu privately mined gold mines, cooperated with the Li family for a long time, and had a good relationship with Zheng Fatzi.

Zhu Ming's brother-in-law's brother-in-law's friendship, Yang Zhi did not want to conflict with Gong Xiu.

But it was said that Li Yanxian came back with the cavalry, stroked the barrel that had cooled, and laughed: "This battle is very happy, thanks to these treasures." ”

Artillery commander Deng Xia said with a smile: "If General Li likes it, I will borrow you a cannon to sleep tonight." ”

"Then forget it, I have a mother-in-law at home." The more Li Yanxian laughed, the happier he became.

The other cavalrymen also dismounted one after another, and surrounded the cannons and exchanged praises.

Although on the way, several outposts had been pulled out with artillery, but they still could not be compared with the bombardment of the castle.

Yan Ping said with emotion: "It is close to the Southern Military Division, sixty miles out of Beijing and Yuguan, and the Great Song Dynasty has been unable to break through it for decades." Now that the Great Tomorrow soldiers have taken action, they have captured Zicheng in less than a day, and the mother city on the other side is no longer a problem! ”

Li Yanxian laughed loudly: "With this weapon of the town, it is the time for our generation to rise up, not only to destroy the Western Xia in the future, but also to collect the Western Regions to recreate the glory of the Han and Tang Dynasties!" ”

When these words were spoken, the cavalry applauded, and they all dreamed of galloping on their horses.

The Western Xia cavalry had crossed the river farther north and fled back to the city, but the infantry that crossed the river was all gone.

Li Yuchang, Han Huaizhong, and Yeli Fulu sat together at the moment and were silent.

On the table, there was also a cannonball, which had flown into the city during the shelling.

After a long time, Han Huaizhong sighed with emotion: "No wonder the Zhu family and his son were able to raise troops to replace the Song State, and they must rely on such sharp weapons. With this kind of iron cannon, my Great Xia Jiancheng will be like paper. ”

"What's the use of saying this, and how can we defend ourselves against the enemy? And the Southern Military Division can't be lost! Li Yuchang said worriedly.

There are 12 military divisions in Western Xia, and the Southern Military Division is the east gate of the Hexi Corridor.

If you lose here, the Hexi Corridor will be wide open, and the Han army can go straight to Liangzhou (Wuwei), which is really the life of the Xixia people!

Han Huaizhong was speechless.

Li Yuchang thought about it carefully, and said: "How many days can we keep it, let's all die here and keep it." Send someone to break through and move the rescue troops, no matter what the cost is, you have to hold it! ”

"Alas, although the walls of the mother city are thick, I am afraid that they will not last for a few days." Han Huaizhong sighed.

Li Yuchang said: "I can only survive in death." ”

Li Yuchang, as the minister of state, personally came to sit in town with the Southern Military Division, and initially did not find that there were heavy Han troops in Lanzhou.

This guy originally planned to attack the Han land, but in the autumn of this year, he took advantage of the Jin soldiers to attack the Song Dynasty and took Xining, Huangzhou, Kuozhou and Jishi Army in one fell swoop!

How do you know that the Han people changed dynasties, and Li Yuchang had not yet completed the gathering of troops, and the new Han dynasty sent troops to fight him.

Li Yuchang knew what the hell the Western Xia was like, and in the face of the Great Song Dynasty during the Huizong period of the Song Dynasty, he was beaten to the ground and took the initiative to sue for peace.

Now it is the more powerful Daming, how can Xixia withstand it?

Li Yuchang also said: "Not only must we move the rescue troops, but we must also renegotiate peace." Even if all the walled forts in Hengshan are returned, they must also be protected by the Henan Military Division, which is even more fatal than Hengshan! ”
