A huge explosion suddenly sounded on the side, and for a time the flames rose into the air, the dust filled the sky, and countless Western Xia troops were blown up to the flesh and blood; the Western Xia cavalry was in chaos, shouting and trampling on each other in the smoke, and the first reaction of thousands of cavalry was to hurry to wash in the water, and when they first came, they saw the water surface, and the river was very shallow. Li Liangfu, who was far away from the explosion area, had never seen such a scene, and it took him half a day to come to his senses, and he saw more than 2,000 people who had not gone into the water to tidy up, and most of them were crowded in the middle of the river, and suddenly thought that there might be an ambush in the water.

  Before Li Liangfu could speak, he suddenly heard a loud voice, and one of the deputy generals behind him was already shouting, "Water, water." ”

  Li Liangfu looked up and saw that the water was rushing down from the upper reaches of the Laochuan River, the water was unstoppable, most of the Western Xia troops in the river had no time to flee back to the south bank, more than 500 people fled to the north bank, and even those who fled to the shore almost lost their horses; the two horsemen rushed in from outside the mountain to report the news, and the three people and horses waited for the Song army, but the Song army had a chain of armored horses, 3,000 cavalry and a thousand chain armored horses fought hard, the casualties on both sides were almost five to one, and now there are only more than 600 people left, and the other two Song troops participated in the battle, and it is estimated that they will last less than half an hour.

  Li Liangfu spurted out a mouthful of blood, in addition to the more than 2,000 people who died in battle, were poisoned and wounded and fled to the other side, and there were less than 3,000 of the 8,000 elite horsemen in his hands. Li Liangfu took a sharp breath, drew his sword and shouted, "I am invincible, charge." ”

  Li Liangfu took the lead and led more than 2,000 horsemen to kill outside the mountain, Yang Zhi and Yue Fei led 500 horsemen out of the village to pursue, maintaining a distance of five miles; Li Liangfu did not think about returning to eat this Song army, but the Western Xia army under his command had not recovered its morale after the battle of Lingyeling, and after falling into a desperate situation again, listening to the Song camp chanting "surrender and not kill", most of the people did not have the courage to die, and some soldiers had fallen from their horses, and it was okay to break through at this moment, if they returned to fight to the death, Li Liangfu did not know how many people would be willing.

  The battle outside the mountain road had almost come to an end, and more than 2,000 Western Xia troops relied on desperate courage to kill outside layer by layer; Kong Yanwei and others were all experienced people, and deliberately gave up two openings, and the Western Xia army immediately collapsed, and no longer had the intention of fighting, so they only cared about fleeing in many ways. Li Liangfu's banner became the target of the siege, and a group of Song troops pounced on it, and when Yang Zhi and Yue Fei arrived, Li Liangfu's team of less than 100 people had been surrounded by Kong Yanwei's 500 cavalry.

  Yue Fei was unwilling to compete with Kong Yanwei, so he left Yang Zhi with a hundred horses, and he took four hundred horses to chase and kill the rout with Han Tao and Zhang San, and pursued them all the way to a distance of twenty miles, and only withdrew when he met the scouts of the Liao army. Yang Zhi helped Kong Yanwei, and charged with a hundred horsemen behind him, killing more than 50 people around Li Liangfu before exiting the battlefield; Li Liangfu saw that there were only three horsemen left around him, and knew that Yang Zhi was the chief general of the Song army, and asked, "Who are you?"

  Yang Zhi replied: "Canglang Camp Yang Zhi." ”

  Yang Zhi and Li Liangfu were a hundred steps apart, but their voices seemed to be speaking in the ears of Li Liangfu and Xixia Jun, Li Liangfu hated and said, "I should have thought a long time ago, Yang Zhi, die at your hands without complaining." ”

  Kong Yanwei personally took the elite soldiers to fight with Li Liangfu, and after more than a dozen rounds of fighting, Li Liangfu injured three Song soldiers, and was cut off the horse by Kong Yanwei and died of anger. Yang Zhi collected his troops and returned to the camp, and the Western Xia army that fled to the north bank of the Cuichuan River either surrendered or was killed, and only escaped more than 200 people in total, and in one day, more than 14,000 people in the Western Xia were destroyed, the main general of the other side was killed, more than 3,000 people were captured, and more than 5,000 war horses were captured.

  Yang Zhi returned to the camp and saw that the captives were taking off the armor of the soldiers of the Western Xia Army, and was about to ask Cai Fu and Cai Qing, who were supervising, when Han Shizhong walked over from the crowd and saluted, "General Yang, I have an idea." ”

  "Please. Yang Zhi was still very polite to Han Shizhong, Han Shizhong proposed, "The Western Xia army is destroyed, Datong Mansion will definitely shake, normal actions will mobilize troops in Yingzhou and other places to prepare to defend Datong Mansion, we might as well take it by surprise and use the speed of cavalry to capture Shuozhou and other places, isolate Datong Mansion, and also clear the obstacles in the subsequent battle." ”

  Yang Zhi's heart moved, since he suggested luring surrender, in fact, he couldn't storm it, Han Shizhong's idea was really good, Yang Zhi brought Han Shizhong into the big tent, found Zhu Wu and others to discuss, and finally decided to repair it overnight. When the meeting was over, Cai Fu ran in and asked, "I actually peeled off twenty-five pieces of scab nails today, how do you divide them?"

  Yang Zhi smiled and said, "Li Liangfu's Qizi Jia is for King Yun, and I want three sets of others, respectively for Seed Master Dao, King Kang, Zhao Gou, and Zong Ze, and the rest will be rewarded for meritorious deeds, you go to Zhu Wu and Pei to preach." By the way, pick a hundred good horses and leave them to King Yun. ”

  Yue Fei and a few people had a scab armor, and took the initiative to give up the quota, no one in the whole camp had any opinions, the dinner was horse meat of one color, and Zhu Wu also asked each soldier to roast a piece of cooked meat to take with him; rest for one night, after dawn, Yang Zhi led Zhang San, Yue Fei, Kong Yanwei, Zong Ying, Liang Juewu, Han Shizhong and other 5,000 horsemen wearing the armor of the Western Xia army in front, and Zhu Wu led Han Tao, Zhong Bin and other 2,500 cavalry of the Liao army armor behind, divided into two teams and set off, and went straight to Shuozhou.

  The next day, the Seed Master Dao led the army up to join the Canglang Battalion, and saw that Yang Zhi had not yet attacked Hunyuan County, and felt very strange, Lu Zhishen, Gongsun Sheng, and Zhang Heng welcomed the Seed Master Dao, Zong Ze, and Huang Di into the camp and said, "There are almost only 1,000 defenders in Hunyuan County, and Commander Yang thinks it is appropriate to hand them over to General Huang Di." He led 8,000 horsemen to take Shuozhou pretending to be the Western Xia army, and once he succeeded, he would notify King Yun and give him support for the follow-up men and horses. ”

  The road from Shuozhou to Hunyuan including the mountain is less than 700 miles, Yang Zhi can reach it in two days at most, if Yang Zhi goes directly from the main road, the speed will be faster; Seed Master Dao smiled bitterly and said to Zong Ze, "This place will be handed over to you and General Huang, Lu Zhishen and I will take the men and horses to meet with King Yun first, and then make a decision after watching the war between Yingzhou and Shuozhou." ”

  Zong Ze also allocated 2,000 elite soldiers to the seed master road, and more than 2,000 horse infantry troops from the Canglang battalion, and more than 3,000 Western Xia prisoners, and followed the seed master back to Taiyuan; Zong Ze and Huang Di then marched into Hunyuan County, only to learn that the 1,000 Liao army withdrew overnight, the county order fled, and the county officials led the people to surrender.

  Yang Zhi's two teams kept a distance of fifteen miles for two days, and Han Shizhong's former army sentry captured Xue Libao, the herald banner officer of Datong Mansion to Shuozhou, and searched for the tiger talisman that called the army, and Han Shizhong escorted people to see Yang Zhi. Yang Zhi smiled at Xue Libao and said, "I've become a flag officer, yes, to be honest, it's good for you." ”

  Xue Libao turned out to be Yang Zhi's personal soldier in the Liao State, and when he saw that Yang Zhi was wearing the armor of the Tangut people, he didn't understand anything, so he said with a sad face, "General Yang, you don't keep the covenant of brothers. "I like the dragon, please collect the dragon.
