Yang Zhen said categorically: "If you want the entire Qizhou to be attached to the Dingbei Army, you need Yang Zhi to defeat the Western Xia Army, so that I can come forward to appeal, and I believe that those people you persuaded also have this attitude." ”

Li Zhong understood that this was Yang Zhen's biggest concession at present, and bowed down and said, "Then there is Lord Lao Yang, and I will accompany the Lord in the village to wait for good news." ”

When Yang Zhi arrived in Huozhou, Yue Fei and others immediately met with Yang Zhi in the Chinese military tent and talked about the fall of Zhenwu City. Yang Yue reported: "The Western Xia army is divided into two routes, Cao Price led 20,000 troops to Zhenwu City, Wu'er Siqi led 30,000 cavalry without managing Yinzhou, and directly killed the Guye River. “

Yue Fei said: "The whereabouts of the Western Xia army are unusual, and it is not in line with their style to go straight to Zhenwu City, unless there is an accident on the Fuzhou side, I have already ordered Kong Yanwei and Servant Guxuan to let them guard Yinzhou, if we are in the stage of stalemate, rob the materials of the Western Xia army, and if our army wins a big victory, they will send troops to cut off the retreat of the Western Xia army." ”

Yang Zhi immediately understood the direction of Yue Fei's guess, this was a compromise to give up the area around Zhenwu City, so that Western Xia had the opportunity to recover Yinzhou with confidence, and forced the Dingbei Army to fight a decisive battle with the Western Xia Army. Fortunately, Yue Fei showed genius alertness in this regard, and made arrangements for it in advance. Yang Zhi nodded and said: "This is very good, immediately mobilize Wang Shougu, Lu Shuqiu, A Shibi, and Yang Yizhong to meet, and as soon as Zhang San's men and horses arrive, we will kill the cave Yehe." Yang Yue, have all the people who went to Jianning Village and Zhenchuan Fort set off?"

Yang Yue stood up and said: "The tiger general Li Zhong went to Jianning Village, and the Iron Arm Cai Fu went to Lezhen Chuanbao, and the rest of the people from Yuanchun and Jia Qiong of the Zhaibao have been contacted." “

Yang Zhi has been asking Yuan Chun, Yang Yizhong and Jia Qiong to contact the people in Qizhou, and Yang Zhi gave a promise, that is, if Qizhou is included in the Dingbei Army, the heads of each village and fort will be selected from Qizhou, unless there is really no one to choose from outside. Yang Yizhong and Jia Qiong both understood the weight of this promise, so they were secretly contacting relatives and friends at home.

Needless to say, Yang Yizhong and Yuan Chun naturally have no way back, and they don't want to go back, they are all trying their best to contact their families and acquaintances; Jia Qiong is no exception, Jia Qiong's father is a soldier, and after retiring, he stayed in Qizhou to get married and have children, Jia Qiong is quite famous in various villages, especially after he was sentenced to Huozhou, many teenagers in Qilu kept in touch with him. But everyone knows that Yang Zhen of Jianning Village is also a benchmark figure in the whole incident, Yang Zhen is Yang Yizhong's father, if Yang Zhen does not express his position, others will still wait and see.

Yang Zhi thought about it for a while, so he sent Yang Yue and Yi Room Bai Da as the main and deputy vanguards, Yue Fei was responsible for coordinating the men and horses; two days later, Zhang San, Wei Dingguo and others arrived, Yang Yi and other people from all walks of life had already been taken, plus Yue Fei brought the Jingzhou army and the 5,000 allied troops of the Wang Gu Department, a total of 25,000 horsemen, plus the cart of the 1,000 infantry army, like a torrent to kill the cave and the wild river.

When the Dingbei Army and the Western Xia Army encountered each other on the bank of the Guye River, the northwest wind was fierce, and the Western Xia Army seized the upper hand, Yang Zhi immediately ordered the whole army to stop advancing, and immediately arranged the position of the Divine Arm Bow and Thunderbolt Artillery; Yue Fei was on the left, Zhang San and Yang Yizhong were covering on the right, Wei Dingguo, Wang Gang and others immediately got busy, and ten Thunderbolt Cannons and 400 Divine Arm Bows were spread out on the ground one after another, opening an open position almost a mile long.

Wu'er Siqi heard that the Dingbei army stopped five miles away, and hurriedly went to the front army to watch, according to the scout's report, Wu'er Siqi estimated that the Dingbei army was going to put down the position of the god arm bow, and said to the harrier army commander Mi Nanzang and the pioneer Xiao Julu around him: "What we are waiting for is the Dingbei army coming, the other party has 25,000 horsemen, with the help of the god arm bow, there is not much difference with us; You lead the harrier army and ten thousand horsemen in front, and I lead the army behind. ”

Mi Nanzang and Xiao Julu bowed down at the same time to receive the order, the battle flag in the Western Xia army waved, and 3,000 harrier troops and 10,000 Western Xia cavalry came towards the Dingbei army. Iron Harrier is a dare force of the Western Xia Army, their main task is to impact the enemy formation, the favorite is the current formation of the Dingbei Army waiting; three thousand horsemen are all in the same color of green armor, and Han Tao trained the same chain of armored horses, people and horses are tied together with hook locks, stretched out in a long line to attack each other, from the telescope can be seen, the Harrier Army's riding skills are much stronger than Han Tao's men.

Wang Shougu, who was beside Yang Zhi, changed his face greatly: "Harrier Army." ”

Yang Zhi said with a smile: "God is helping us, if it weren't for such a strong wind, the Western Xia army would have gained the upper hand, and would never think of taking the initiative to attack the position of the Divine Arm Bow, just to save and find a way to lure him out." Wei Dingguo, ready to do it. “

Yang Zhi asked Wei Dingguo and Ling Zhen to be in charge of this team, and did not plan to use it in Jincheng, but considered using it in field battles, a cannon with a radius of half a mile, which could lengthen the width of the defense; for this reason, Yang Zhi did not hesitate to let Huan Kuaidao build 20 special carts alone, one cart transports one cannon, and there is a cart for backup. Ten cannons have been laid out on the ground, iron sand and gunpowder have been filled and preparations are ready.

Yang Yue and Yi Mu Bai Da commanded the cavalry under their command, retreated a distance, and kept a distance where they could cover Wei Dingguo and the others with bows and arrows, Yue Fei ordered his two hundred long sword soldiers to dismount, and all of them were inserted into Wei Dingguo's soldiers, Wei Dingguo saw that Wang Gang also picked up a long knife, and asked, "What do you mean?"

Wang Gang said with a smile: "This is the hob army trained by Senior Brother Yue, specifically to deal with the Harrier Army, Wang Gui is not here, I am the leader." ”。

Wei Dingguo pointed to the ten small carts full of firewood behind him and said: "We still have a trick, you don't have to play with your life, you will withdraw after the break for us." ”

Suddenly seeing that all the cavalry of the Dingbei Army were retreating, the Harrier Army was overjoyed, thinking that the other party was still timid towards themselves; the Harrier Army never cared about the Great Song Dynasty's divine arm bow, and still moved forward with all their might, driving Xiao Julu's 10,000 cavalry to speed up the charge. Ling Zhen had been using binoculars to visually measure the speed of the Western Xia cavalry on the opposite side, calculated the distance, and ordered the ignition; the ten thunderbolt cannons opened fire almost at the same time, and the front of the position was suddenly filled with fire and smoke, and all the three thousand Harrier troops were paralyzed.
