Twenty-five miles away from the Henggu Village 500 cavalry saw the strange signal hurriedly rushed to reinforcements, halfway by the Basi Xuanling ambush, almost the whole army was annihilated, when the Dingbei Army launched an attack on the Henggu Village, there were only 30 Xixia troops in the village, resisted less than half an hour and surrendered; the water protection village lit the beacon fire, the whole village 200 people were originally ready to use the terrain to resist, Yang Zhi directly let Cao Zheng command his own 100 pro-army, successively threw in more than 30 thunderbolts, forced the gate and the first line of defense to blow up, the iron cavalry of the Dingbei Army took advantage of the chaos of the Western Xia Army to kill into the village, captured more than 80 people。

The three stockades are actually the tax-collecting teams of the Western Xia in the area of the Volcano Army, and the caravans pass by, and they have to pump one to two percent of the water, and they are transported to Qizhou once every ten days, and six days have passed since the last transportation, and the three stockades are full of materials, such as carpets, porcelain, medicinal materials, furs, green salt, cloth, etc., with a wide variety; Yang Zhi asked Lei Heng to take his subordinates and Basi's mother to immediately transport the materials other than grain back to Shuozhou.

Seeing the beacon fire of the water protection village, the Xixia army around Qizhou was dispatched, and the leader was Li Yu, the commander of the Qizhou army in the Western Xia, Li Yu met the Xixia army that fled back halfway, and learned that it was the Dingbei army that sent troops, only two or three thousand people, or the town that was taken by the strategy, Li Yu concluded that it was the other party who came to fight the side grass, that must be fought back, otherwise the face of the Xixia army would not exist.

Six thousand Western Xia troops roared, Yang Zhi immediately burned the grain and camps and took the initiative to retreat, Yang Zhi was not worried about the Western Xia army in front of him, but was afraid that the Zhejia and the Song army would do something in the back, and stabbed himself coldly. Li Yu wondered for a long time, the Dingbei Army fled without a fight, and now he didn't even know who the other party's commander was, but when he learned that the Dingbei Army had troops to transport supplies, Li Yu still decided to catch up with the whole army, and the distance between the two sides was only more than 100 miles apart, and it was better to have a gain than no gain.

Lei Heng actually walked very fast, but when the volcano army arrived in Shuozhou and Pingchuan, the cavalry was the easiest to catch up, and when Yang Zhi's three thousand horsemen met with Lei Heng, the Western Xia cavalry was only forty miles apart. This is an open area, which is not suitable for fighting a battle of winning more with less, but Yang Zhi saw that the northeast wind was gradually raging, and asked Basi Xuanling: "How long can this wind blow?"

Ba Si mother has been living in the gap between Western Xia and Liao, looking at the weather is the most basic skill, Ba Si Xuanling is one of the good hands; Ba Si Xuanling squinted at the sky and said: "The wind will get stronger and stronger, and there will not be a day when it will not stop." ”

"Then we will use the northeast wind to teach the Western Xia army a lesson. Yang Zhi made a decision, chose to believe in the judgment of Basi Xuanling, pointed to a hillside five miles away, and ordered Cao Zheng to ambush the gunpowder in front of the hillside according to his own design, and then ordered the whole army to choose an upwind outlet to prepare for battle, Yang Zhi specially asked Cao Zheng: "Do you understand what I mean?"

"Understand, it's not all at once, it's a little bit at a time, so that their people are more and more concentrated. Cao Zheng saw that the locations where the gunpowder was buried were three miles apart, so he guessed Yang Zhi's intentions; Yang Zhi nodded and said: "There is no grass over there, it is a place where the Western Xia army will seize after we set the fire, and the two rounds of explosions are to make them lose their horses and fighting spirit." Che Xitu, Ode, you are responsible for setting fire to the upwind outlet, and burning the grass into a line as quickly as possible. Shan Tinggui and Jia Qiong, led a thousand horsemen, piled up fifty haystacks behind the two explosions, put those medicines in, and the rest of the people followed me to set up a formation. ”

In less than an hour, the Western Xia army arrived, and Li Yu saw that the grass in front of him was full of scattered vehicles and livestock, and he had a bad feeling, everything was too smooth, and the generals who could break through Sanzhai in one day had no reason to be so sloppy, neither dared to fight with the Western Xia army, but even discarded the materials like this. However, the Western Xia army under his command has dispersed, chasing livestock and picking up materials, and in the face of temptation, they don't care whether there is danger or not.

Li Yu looked into the distance, there seemed to be some cavalry and infantry of the Dingbei Army in front and around, how could the infantry run faster than the horse, the fire and smoke were ignited in more than a dozen different places at once, Li Yu looked at the wind direction, and suddenly exclaimed: "Fire, seize the upper hand." ”

With the shouting of the officers, the Western Xia army has already found that the fire is rolling out, and the speed is surprisingly fast under the help of the northeast wind; the hill in the southeast corner is obviously a raw place, it looks like there is no grass, although there are also sparse Song troops, but they should not be able to stop their thousands of people, the Western Xia army is desperately running to the hills, even if there are ambushes on the hills, it is better than fighting with the fire, but there was a series of deafening explosions in front, and the dust in the sky was like a wall erected in the air, so startled that the war horses galloped in all directions and trampled on each other。

Li Yu secretly complained, this is the power of the gunpowder of the Song army, looking back at the fire rolling, the slow cavalry was blocked by the fire and livestock, and the wild screams continued; Li Yu gritted his teeth and ordered to continue to advance, the cavalry of the Western Xia Army who did not fall from his horse relied on his superb riding skills to quickly pass through the chaotic crowd in front, regardless of the companions who had fallen from his horse and continued to break through to the southeast, before running two miles, the explosion sounded again in front, and the previous chaos and collision appeared again, Li Yu understood that he had fallen into the pit this time.

When he rushed through the second explosion crater, Li Yu saw that there were dozens of low-rise grass piles on both sides of the southeast, and the fleeing Dingbei army had already set them on fire; Li Yuming knew that the fire was strange, but the Dingbei army had already appeared at the upwind and began to shoot poison tribulus terrestris and rockets, and the Western Xia army could only forcibly protrude from the road in the middle of the fire, otherwise the army could only abandon its horse and go up the mountain, then once the fire was extinguished, thousands of men and horses would be lambs to be slaughtered under the cavalry butcher's knife.

The Dingbei army occupied the upper hand, thousands of sharp arrows rushed out of the Xixia army to shoot, the Xixia army fell five or six hundred horses at once, the soldiers of the Xixia army automatically began to fight back, showing a high level of cavalry archery, step by step outside the fire to advance and gain a firm foothold, but more and more Xixia cavalry fell near the fire, Li Yu suddenly woke up, this is the situation of poisonous weeds, Dingbei army set fire, Explosions and other means are actually to create a place where poisonous weeds can work, and it is better for me to flee back at that time, at least half of the people can escape.

The Western Xia army wanted to speed up the counterattack, and everyone around Li Yu tried their best, either shooting arrows with bows and arrows, or killing the cavalry of the Dingbei army, but the Western Xia army had lost more than 1,000 people in the escape, and more than 1,000 people were poisoned by the weeds.
