"The Song army has won a big victory!"

"The Great Song Dynasty won the Second Battle of Pingxia City"

"Defeat Qingtang!"

When the good news spread all the way east from Pingxia City, everywhere it went, all the roads in the Great Song Dynasty cheered.

"I'm afraid this is the most glorious moment of the Great Song Dynasty!"

Since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, foreign wars have been repeatedly frustrated, the loss of land, and the transportation of New Year's coins is commonplace, and the two successive victories in Pingxia City have made the Great Song Dynasty hold its head high.

In addition, the frontal defeat of the Qingtang cavalry by cavalry on the frontal battlefield of the Great Song Dynasty made the whole country of the Great Song Dynasty excited.

All along, the cavalry is the biggest sore spot of the Great Song Dynasty, in the face of the nomads, repeatedly defeated, can only rely on the city wall passive defense, now the Great Song cavalry defeated the Qingtang cavalry in the field, and finally proved their combat power.

"Good!"

In the vertical arch hall, Zhao Xu looked at the good news and started to shoot the case.

Once upon a time, he was determined to be tough on Liaoxia, which can be described as the opposition of the ministers, and now the Great Song Dynasty has two consecutive battles of Pingxia City, not only did not let the Western Xia get a little cheap, but let the Western Xia lose its troops.

"It turns out that Xixia is really a paper tiger!" Zhao Xu couldn't help but think of Fan Zheng's unintentional words at the beginning, and couldn't help but feel emotional.

"Congratulations to the official!"

The ministers congratulated one after another, and the Great Song Dynasty achieved such a result, which naturally made the court excited.

"The ministers ask for credit for the border generals!" Hundreds of officials of the Manchu Dynasty played one after another.

Zhang Dian said in high spirits: "The victory in Western Xia this time depends on Zhang Qi's command in the center and the mobilization of the whole army, so that there will be such a great victory, which should be the first merit." ”

Zhang Qi is Zhang Dan's cousin, and Zhang Qi presided over the big victory in this battle, which naturally made his face rise greatly. And he is not nepotism, whether it is the tactics of shallow attack and disturbing farming, or the scheduling of this battle, it is all from the hands of Zhang Qi, and his first merit is well deserved.

The other officials nodded their heads as well.

However, Lu Dafang said with a strange face: "The envoy of Zhang Jing is indeed quite meritorious, but the armies in this battle jointly recommend others as the first meritorious?" ”

"Others take the lead?" Baiguan couldn't help but be stunned, and looked at Lu Dafang in disbelief, you must know that this is a war feat, Zhang Ji deserves to be the main general, who dares to take the credit.

"The generals jointly recommended Fan Taicheng as the first credit!" Lu Dafang said directly.

"Fan Zheng? He didn't go to the battlefield at all in this battle, how could it be the first merit? Zhang Dian endured his anger and said, he admitted that in the first battle of Pingxia City, Fan Zheng turned the tide and defended Pingxia City, which should be the first merit, and this time, Fan Zheng has been honestly Kaifeng, how can it become the first merit on the battlefield thousands of miles away.

Zeng Bu said with a wry smile: "Although Fan Taicheng did not go to the battlefield, but this battle is Fan Taicheng's masterpiece, first of all, the idea of defeating the Qingtang cavalry's Tiefutu and the kidnapping horse came from the hands of Fan Taicheng, and secondly, the second battle of Pingxia City, as early as the end of the first battle of Pingxia City, Fan Taicheng made a plan, using Zhu Youshu to secretly guide Xiaoliang Tai Tai to attack, and prepare the things to defend the city in advance, which allowed Pingxia City to block the siege of millions of Xia troops. ”

"Ahh

Zhang Dian couldn't believe it, who would have thought that someone could take the lead in this battle without being on the battlefield, this is simply a miracle in the world.

Fan Zheng said helplessly when he heard this: "Thank you for the generals' faces, Fan has not arrived on the battlefield, and he can't convince the public to take the first credit in this battle, and he is ashamed." ”

Zhao Xu bowed slightly, he naturally knew that Fan Zheng had made great contributions in this battle, but it was difficult to convince the front-line soldiers by setting a person who had not yet arrived at the battlefield as the first merit.

In order to appease the front-line soldiers, he had to grieve Fan Zheng once.

Zeng Bu shook his head and said: "The officials are too worried, Fan Taicheng is the first merit, not only the army recommended Fan Taicheng as the first merit, but even Zhang Kai, the envoy of Jingyuan Road, and Guo Cheng, the deputy envoy, also recommended Fan Taicheng as the first meritorious. ”

Zhang Dian was also silent for a moment.

He did not go to the battlefield but made the first contribution, and it was the expectation of all the armies, I am afraid that it is a miracle that has never been seen before or since.

At the moment, Zhao Xu is rewarded for meritorious deeds, Fan Zheng is the first merit, Zhang Qi is the second merit, and other generals are rewarded.

"Ministers and front-line soldiers, thank you for your grace." Fan Zheng reluctantly took the order.

"Weichen thinks it's time to counterattack Western Xia!" After the reward was completed, Zhang Dian said solemnly.

The New Party also chimed in.

These two wars completely changed the passive situation of the Great Song Dynasty, so that the offensive and defensive momentum of the Great Song and Western Xia changed, from then on, the Western Xia lost troops and would be forced to turn to defense, and the Great Song Dynasty would be based on Pingxia City and many fortresses, turn defense into offense.

"Accurate!"

Zhao Xu said in high spirits,

There were too many grievances before Song Xia, most of the time it was the Western Xia attack, and the Great Song Dynasty defended, and now that the Great Song Dynasty finally gained the upper hand, it was natural to take revenge.

Soon, with the end of the Battle of Pingxia City, Western Xia fell into the defensive, and the Great Song Dynasty officially began to counterattack.

Zhang Kai sent cavalry to infiltrate Tiandu Mountain, took the initiative to attack the Jingsai Military Division, captured more than 3,000 people, including Wei Ming A Burying and Si Mei Le Du, and captured 100,000 cattle and sheep.

At the same time, Li Zhongjie, the general of the Song army, also organized cavalry to infiltrate Yanzi Mountain and attacked the base camp of the Zhuoluo Supervisor Military Division.

Western Xia had just been defeated in Pingxia City, with heavy losses, and now it was successfully attacked by the Great Song Dynasty cavalry, with heavy losses.

The various departments bordering the northwest of the Great Song Dynasty withdrew one after another, abandoning a large amount of land and farmland in case the Song army attacked again.

"A bunch of rubbish!"

In Xingqing Mansion, Empress Dowager Xiaoliang, who had just returned from defeat, listened to a series of bad news, and suddenly became angry and threw the precious porcelain in the palace all over the ground.

"The last general will plead!"

Renduo Baozhong, who escaped alone, knelt on the ground and kept pleading, this time the Song army suddenly attacked, although he escaped alone, he escaped by luck, but he suffered heavy losses.

Wei Ming Ah Wu smiled bitterly: "The Queen Mother is angry, don't blame Ren for being loyal, the Song army is too cunning, and implements Zhang Qi's shallow attack and cultivation tactics, and secretly attacks our army, so that it is defeated." ”

"The Queen Mother is angry, this battle is all to blame for the despicable Song army, if you confront it head-on, the Song army will definitely be killed!" Ren Duobao said hatefully, it has always been the Western Xia sneak attack on the Song army, and it was the first time for the Song army to sneak attack the Western Xia military division, he didn't check for a while, and he was ambushed, so he was naturally unwilling.

"Head-on confrontation, do you want to attack Pingxia City or fight against the Great Song Three Thousand Iron Floating Slaughter!" Liang Yiqi sneered.

Wei Ming Ah Wu and Rindo Baozhong were loyal to the Western Xia Imperial Party, which was the biggest obstacle to his usurpation, and Renduo Baozhong was so defeated, including Liang Yiqi's intelligence.

Renduo Baozhong's face was suddenly covered with cold sweat, Pingxia City can be said to be the nightmare of Western Xia, and the three thousand iron floating slaughter is even more famous in the battle with Qingtang, let him go to fight against it, I am afraid that he will die even worse.

Wei Ming Ah Wu counterattacked: "If Weichen is not mistaken, this is the second time that the Prime Minister of the State has invited Qingtang to attack the Great Song Dynasty, and he has suffered two defeats in a row. ”

"You still have the face to say! This palace asked you to unite Ali Gu to attack the six states of Xihe, and take the opportunity to disrupt the position of the Great Song Dynasty. Empress Dowager Xiao Liang was extremely angry, and even Liang Yiqi was angry at the moment.

Liang Yikui's arrogance suddenly disappeared, and he said helplessly: "Sister, you don't know, the Qingtang cavalry is already backward in equipment, so I was moved by five hundred sets of cold forging armor and agreed to send troops, but it was a coincidence that it happened to run into the Three Thousand Iron Floating Massacres of the Great Song Dynasty, and the two could not be said to be the same in terms of combat power at all, so it is not surprising that they failed miserably." ”

"From the perspective of Weichen, the rotten wood in Qingtang cannot be carved! Now it's okay if you don't give five hundred cold forging armor! "Seeing Qingtang's heavy losses, coupled with the heavy losses of Western Xia, Wei Ming Ah Wu is ready to rely on the five hundred cold forging armor promised to Qingtang.

"No! Qingtang was an ally of Western Xia against the Song State, and if Qingtang was evil, the situation of Western Xia would be even more difficult. Liang Yiqi retorted.

The two soon argued.

"That's it! Don't fight anymore, the cold forging armor will be given to Qingtang, but the supply of Xixia Iron Harriers must be given priority, and the most important thing now is how to let Xixia get through this pass? Empress Dowager Xiao Liang said angrily.

Now that the Western Xia had suffered heavy losses, if the Great Song Dynasty continued to attack, the Western Xia would probably lose all the territory south of the Yellow River. This is absolutely unacceptable to Western Xia.

The two of them stopped, were silent for a moment, and said in unison: "Please also ask the Queen Mother to mediate with Liao!" ”
