The next day, according to the spies, there was no major move on the part of Kangcheng, and Dong Haotian ordered the camp to be advanced for twenty miles according to the original deployment. On www.biquge.info the third day, there was still no movement, the generals were quite impatient, waiting for the war was a very terrible thing, people could easily become impetuous, Dong Haotian did not allow the generals to inform the soldiers, but many soldiers still felt that the big war was coming, so they seemed very uneasy.

Early in the morning of the fourth day, the spies came to report in a hurry, Li Yanshou led the Western Xia army out of the city, the main force was 70,000 horses, 40,000 horses were the left and right wings, 30,000 horses were laid down in the mountains on the left and slowly advanced, and 30,000 horses were arranged on the mountains on the right, and they did not move at all. The generals were excited when they heard that the Western Xia army was coming, and they shouted that they wanted to fight and beat each other. After Dong Haotian and Qingyu discussed, he ordered to strictly guard the camp and not move a single soldier, and if anyone shouted again, he would be beheaded immediately.

Li Yanshou set up outside the barracks and sent people out to shout and scold, provoking the Song army to send troops, but the Song army ignored it at all, and his subordinates suddenly remembered a war in the Three Kingdoms when they saw the hot sun in the sky. At that time, Wei and Shu were at war, the generals of Wei led the troops to attack, Shu ambushed the soldiers in the mountains and forests, the Wei soldiers shouted and scolded under the mountain, the scorching sun was like a fire at that time, at noon, the soldiers under the mountain were thirsty and drowsy, and the Shu soldiers rushed down from the mountain, and annihilated the army of Wei in one fell swoop. So this Dajiang general hurriedly stepped forward to report to Li Yanshou, Li Yanshou was shocked violently, and scolded secretly: "What a cunning Han dog, fortunately, there is a lesson from the past." ”

The general said, "We might as well withdraw our troops today and fight again tomorrow." ”

Li Yanshou said: "I, the people of Western Xia, have always lived in a very dry land, what is this heat, if you mention the withdrawal of the army, you will move the army's heart, see if I don't cut off your head, retreat." ”

The general broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly stepped aside, not daring to speak again.

Li Yanshou sent troops to shout and curse for a long time, but he never saw any action by the Song army, knowing that it would be very detrimental to his own side if he continued to wear out like this, so he ordered an attack. Dong Haotian still couldn't defend it from the order, the Song army camp was built in a treacherous position, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the Western Xia soldiers couldn't please themselves, and they couldn't attack for a long time, so they had to retreat from the back.

At noon, the Song camp caught fire to cook, Li Yanshou ordered a meal, the Western Xia soldiers gnawed on the mutton and beef they brought, and their mouths became more and more thirsty, after the meal was the time when people were most sleepy, all the generals thought that the Song army would attack at this time, Li Yanshou ordered all the soldiers to raise their spirits, not to show a tired look, not to lose their armor. The Western Xia soldiers were so hot that their mouths were dry and sweaty, but the Song army still did not move.

It was not until two hours in the afternoon that the Song army rushed out of 30,000 horses, but it did not confront the Western Xia army head-on, and rushed straight to the left flank with a single touch. Li Yanshou ordered to ignore it, and half an hour later, another 30,000 horses rushed out and ran to the woods on the right, but Li Yanshou still ignored it. Because these two places have their own ambushes, his main force is to wait for the main force of the Song army to fight, but after the Song army dispatched these 60,000 horses, there was no movement, and Li Yanshou waited for a long time before ordering the attack on the camp.

It was Zheng Tianhua who led 30,000 horses straight to the mountains and forests on the left, and the 30,000 horses of the Western Xia army fought, the opponent was immediately defeated and retreated, and the soldiers cheered and thundered, and were about to catch up, Zheng Tianhua felt a little wrong, and ordered someone to bring the map, and secretly shook his head at a glance, and ordered 5,000 men and horses to quickly go around to the back of the Western Xia army, and then led 25,000 men and horses, and stopped with the Western Xia army to kill time. Not long after, the sound of flying firecrackers came from behind the Western Xia army, Zheng Tianhua gave an order, and all the soldiers rushed forward with all their might, while the 30,000 Western Xia soldiers retreated at full speed. When they reached a mountain stream, all the Western Xia soldiers retreated into the stream, Zheng Tianhua immediately restrained the army, but when he heard a loud rumbling sound, the rumbling sound was loud, and the Western Xia soldiers shouted and ran back to the stream, and the waves two or three zhang high behind him rolled over, and the entire army was submerged in a short time.

It turned out that Li Qi had planned everything before he died, quietly built a dam in the upper reaches of the mountain stream, so that the water in the stream collected here, and then ordered the Western Xia army to retreat into the stream, along the path to a high place, and when the Song army chased it, it exploded the dam, the stream was narrow, the water flow was turbulent, and there was no way to escape, only one death.

And Qingyu has already thought of using this stream, but because it is too far away from the Song camp, it is inconvenient to use and give up, and now Li Qi is naturally easy to be recognized by Zheng Tianhua, and quietly sent 5,000 men and horses to the back to annihilate the Xixia soldiers guarding the dam, and then wait for the 30,000 horses and horses in the Xixia to enter the stream before they go up to a high place, open the dam and release water, Li Qi's trick is not a mistake in stealing chickens and rice, not only wasting painstaking efforts, but also killing 30,000 soldiers.

At the same time, it was Chifeng who led 30,000 Song troops to fight in the woods on the right, and the Western Xia soldiers also began to retreat as soon as they fought a little, Chifeng did not chase after him, opened the map to see, and there was nothing unusual, and then sent people to reconnoiter behind the dam, and did not find any ambush, which was quite strange, so he led his troops forward to attack. The Xixia soldiers still retreated in a battle, and all the soldiers shouted: "The Xixia dog breed is afraid, we will move forward and kill him without leaving a piece of armor." "Chifeng is a very rational person, and he does not act rashly. Walking up to the corpses of the dead Western Xia soldiers, he looked at them again and again, and found that these people were all carrying a bamboo tube, and asked, "What is this?"

One of the generals said: "This is like a water cylinder, used to quench thirst." ”

Chifeng shook his head and said: "No, the Xixia people use leather bags to fill water, and our Song army only uses bamboo tubes." A sword broke the bamboo tube, only to see a black viscous flow out.

The general stepped forward and sniffed it, reached out and touched it, and exclaimed, "It's tung oil." ”

Chifeng clapped his hands and said, "That's right, they are going to attack with fire." Okay, let's play with fire, ha, so the original plan isn't as brilliant as that. He immediately ordered all the bamboo tubes to be gathered together, and then five hundred archers were called, and they tore off their clothes and held the arrows, and then soaked them in tung oil. When everything was ready, he gave the order to rush and kill with all his might.

The Song army rushed forward to kill the past, and the Western Xia soldiers were defeated again, and Chifeng ordered to chase after it until he found that there was tung oil on the ground, so he ordered to stop, and transferred five hundred archers to step forward, ignited the arrows and gave an order, and five hundred rockets were shot into the Western Xia army together, and then all retreated. Seeing that the Song army was in hot pursuit this time, the Xixia soldiers were secretly happy, and they took out bamboo tubes one after another, dumped tung oil into the bushes, and then prepared to retreat, but they were a step too late, just when they poured, five hundred rockets came in a salvo, and the tung oil was burned by fire, and the woods were all on fire, and 30,000 horses immediately fell into the fire. This is another failure of Richie, which can really be described as playing with fire and self-immolation.

Li Yanshou heard a loud noise in the mountains on the left and saw the smoke billowing from the forest on the right, and thought that Li Qi's plan had been successful, and was very happy, so he ordered the army to attack the camp with all its might, hoping to take down the Song camp before it was dark and achieve a complete victory.

After Chi Feng and Zheng Tianhua won the victory, they cleared the remnants of the Western Xia army, immediately turned back the same way, and when they approached the Western Xia army, they ordered the soldiers to shout in the Western Xia language: "The Great Victory is done, the Song Army has been destroyed, the Great Completion is done, the Song Army has been destroyed...... and then approached the Western Xia Army at full speed. When some Western Xia soldiers found out that it was the Song army, it was too late, and 60,000 horses and horses were killed in one place, and the Western Xia army was in chaos for a while. Li Yanshou knew the plan, so he ordered to rush to the left and retreat. Until this time, Dong Hao ordered the 110,000 Song troops to go out of the camp to fight with all their might, and the Western Xia army was attacked by the enemy, and the situation was very dangerous.

The horn sounded, and the 110,000 Song troops gathered in one place, and under the charge, they immediately cut the Western Xia army in half, and then separated from the middle, and rushed to the enemy in batches. Dong Haotian, Qing Yu and Wen Zaiye stood on a high place, watching a huge formation gradually take shape, the soldiers first dispersed, and then connected and combined one after another, until the last huge coiling dragon appeared. Dong Haotian nodded, Qingyu gave an order, and when the horn sounded, the giant dragon composed of the Song army in the Western Xia army quickly swam away, constantly cutting the Western Xia army with irresistible great power, eating away at the body of the Western Xia army, until they were squeezed to pieces and collapsed. When there was no longer any Western Xia army that could compete with the Song army, the giant dragon continued to shrink, forming a huge phalanx in the enemy army. The horn sounded again, and the phalanx was divided into eight forces at once, rushing outward together, the defeated Western Xia army was simply irresistible, and the eight forces rushed out and advanced forward from the momentum of encirclement, and the Western Xia army could not help retreating, and finally was compressed in a small range.

After a fierce battle, the Song army inflicted heavy losses on the enemy army, and the Western Xia army had less than 70,000 horses left, and it was exhausted, and it was difficult to fight again.

Qingyu said: "With this way of fighting, our army can negotiate if we attack again." ”

Dong Haotian said: "Yes, I didn't expect this battle to be won so smoothly." Then the order was given, the horn sounded, and the Song army launched a fierce attack, until the Western Xia army desperately resisted and could not advance another half a step before retreating, and it was still encircled. Dong Haotian, Qingyu and Wen Zaiye will be ordered to come down from a high place and enter the encirclement to negotiate with Li Yanshou head-on.

Dong Haotian said: "You are at the end of your rope at this time, don't make senseless resistance, surrender!"

Li Yanshou sneered: "Don't think about it, even if I die, I will never surrender, and the Western Xia Kingdom does not have the word surrender." ”

Dong Haotian said: "If you don't drop to death, it doesn't matter if you die, if you let these many soldiers die with you, how can you bear it?"

Li Yanshou said: "They are soldiers, they should fight for the country, and they will not give up until they die. ”

Dong Haotian said: "The defeat has been decided, what's the point of continuing to fight, you have no possibility of winning." ”

Li Yanshou shouted: "Nonsense, I will definitely kill all of you Han dogs." Without waiting for Dong Haotian to say anything, he immediately ordered the arrow to be released. The Song army waved their swords to resist, and Dong Hao knew that he had nothing to talk about anymore, so he withdrew from the encirclement and had no plan for a while.

Qingyu said: "You can't fight hard, although our army surrounds the enemy, but to annihilate them all, it is bound to suffer huge losses, the enemy has reached the end, and desperate resistance is inevitable." The book of war says that when surrounding the enemy's army, we must leave a gap, and even if they escape, we must not do too much. ”

Dong Haotian said: "I understand this, but if I let them go back like this, there will definitely be another big battle, and the number of victories and defeats at that time is unknown. ”

Qingyu said: "If you want to fight, you must have enough food and grass, if there is no food and grass, it will be difficult for the three armies to move an inch, let alone fight." ”

Dong Haotian came to his senses and said, "Reasonable." He immediately ordered 5,000 men and horses to enter Cannes and transport all the grain and grass out.

At dusk, 5,000 men and horses came back and reported that all the grain and grass in the city were transported back, Dong Haotian was very happy, and immediately ordered to leave a gap in the northwest to let the Western Xia army retreat. When Li Yanshou heard that there was a gap in the encirclement, he didn't have time to think about it and immediately led the army to attack, and without waiting for the Western Xia army to retreat, he surrounded and closed the cage again, intercepting the tail soldiers in the circle, and about 10,000 people were all annihilated. Dong Haotian immediately ordered the camp to be pulled out and marched to Kangcheng overnight, and at midnight the bonfire was raised, and Kangcheng was surrounded by the Song army. Dong Haotian waited for the Western Xia army to return to the city before besieging it, as long as the city gate was held, it would be difficult for the enemy army to rush out, but it was also extremely difficult for the Song army to defend in all directions.

The Song army held for three days, and the Western Xia army was completely unmoved, Dong Haotian was a little anxious and convened the generals to discuss the method. Qingyu secretly felt strange, it stands to reason that the Western Xia army had no grain and grass for three days, and if they did not go out of the city to surrender, they could only break through, could it be that there was still grain and grass in the city? It turned out that Li Qi had long expected that the Song army would enter the city to transport grain, and then leave an empty city for the Western Xia army to enter and besiege again, so he hid a large amount of grain and grass in advance, and the people who entered the city to transport grain and grass did not know how much grain and grass the enemy army had, and there was no time to reconnoiter whether there was still surplus grain in the city, so that Li Qi's conspiracy succeeded. At this point, Qingyu had to admire Li Qi, even if he was dead, the strategy he left behind still saved the Western Xia army at the last moment.

The generals discussed again and again, feeling that the siege is not a long-term plan, and the siege is not the right time, the Song army has not yet made all the preparations for the siege, if the forced siege will only suffer, so it was decided to retreat for thirty miles, and if they can talk together, they will talk together, and if they can't talk together, it is not too late to make sufficient preparations to attack the city.

Qingyu proposed to send Li Qi's body back to Kangcheng, Dong Haotian knew that whipping the corpse was just a method of agitation, and it was useless now, and he also admired Li Qi's intelligence, so he ordered someone to sort out Li Qi's body and send it back to Kangcheng.

Dong Haotian sent people to persuade him to surrender one after another, but Li Yanshou refused to accept it, and finally became angry and killed. Dong Haotian knew that there was no room for negotiation, and actively ordered preparations for war.

This morning, Qingyu walked out of the tent and heard the sound of the piano coming from the camp, and the one that was playing was the "Imperial Border Battle Song" that he made when he came.

Wen Zaiye saw Qingyu coming, stopped and sighed: "Alas, I am old, it is difficult to be a pianist for a day, and I have no record of marching like water and dust."

Qingyu said: "Meng De, a generation of tyrants in the Three Kingdoms, struggled all his life for the great cause of building, and he did not become the emperor until he died, and he also sighed that time passed and life was impermanent, but he did not lose his ambition because of this. In his "Year of the Turtle", the old man is in waiting, with ambitions for thousands of miles, and he still inspires future generations. You are no worse than that Cao Mengde in your first battle, so why do you want to talk about old age and lose your fighting spirit?"

Wen Zaiye said with a smile: "What you said is right, I don't dare to compare with that Meng Degong, but there will be no ambiguity in defending the territory." "I stood up and felt a lot better.

Qingyu smiled: "That's right, our army's Marshal Wen should be this kind of courage." ”

Wen Zaiye said: "You are different from your father, if it is your father today, you have to talk a lot of truth, and you let the uncle come to the spirit in a few words, the uncle knows that you are good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, come and listen to a section of the "General's Order". ”

Qingyu said: "Uncle Wen laughed. "I don't push it back.

But before he could receive the qin, he saw Wild Waves, Yintao and Xiao Xin coming over. The three of them saw Wen Zaiye, so they asked Qingyu to go with them to catch the magic horse.

Qingyu smiled: "Since it is a divine horse, how can we ordinary people ride it." ”

Wild Tao said: "We are not ordinary people, we are all elites among people. ”

Xiao Xin said: "It's the dragon and phoenix among people, and I'm the phoenix." He clapped his hands on the wings, and suddenly noticed the piano in Wen Zaiye's hand, and said happily: "There is a piano, can a good uncle let me play, looking at this infinitely magnificent grassland scenery, I have long wanted to play a song to express my mind." ”

Wen Zaiye said: "It is indeed a very happy thing to be able to play a song under the white clouds, take it." Hand the piano to Xiao Xin, and said to Qingyu: "There is nothing important at the moment, you are tired these days, let's go relax with everyone, what does it matter if you catch the magic horse or not, as long as you have fun." The three of them echoed, and Qingyu nodded and went with the three.

The four of them left the camp, and saw that the young generation and the girls of the "women's camp" were already waiting outside. Chi Feng and Zheng Tianhua stepped forward and said, "Young Master, everyone is waiting for you." "Take a horse.

Qingyu said: "Okay, let's set off together, if any of us catches the magic horse today, everyone will celebrate him together in the evening." ”

Xiao Xin said: "It's best for everyone to come back with some wild things, and you can have a good meal in the evening." The crowd applauded and got on their horses together, and a large number of people galloped into the distance.
