Liang Yongneng experienced a defeat in the Wuding River and fled in a hurry. The pen &www.biquge.info amp; fun & pavilion did not give the Tangut people a chance to breathe, and led the army to attack all the way, attacking the city and pulling out the village were unstoppable, and the soldiers pointed directly at Yinzhou, the ruling center of the Western Xia. After all, Liang Yongneng was the generalissimo of Western Xia, and when he saw that he could not resist Chong Ge head-on, he thought of forcing Chong Ge to withdraw by attacking the empty rear of the Song army. And Mizhi City, which once made him hateful, became his primary target.

But after all, after suffering a big defeat, Liang Yongneng was also terrified along the way, and sent countless scouts to check around, for fear of being plotted by the Song army again. When he got the exact news that there were indeed only 3,000 defenders in Mizhi City, Liang Yongneng issued an order to march.

"What are you talking about? The Song army in Mizhi City actually went out of the city to meet us? How is this possible?" Liang Yongneng was very surprised when he heard the news, and he was shocked for a while.

"Indeed, and the great officer who defended the city himself went out of the city to supervise the battle. All of them are stationed on the edge of the Wuding River, and if our army attacks now, we will definitely be able to wipe them out. Tanma replied.

"The official guarding the city, that must be Shen Kuo, the governor of Yanzhou. I've dealt with him, and he's a very shrewd character, and he would never do something stupid like this. Let me ask you, what is the strange situation on Song Jun's side? Liang Yongneng's doubts became heavier, and he hurriedly asked.

"There's something strange about it. The enemy faced us with only more than 3,000 men, but the amount of grain and grass mobilized in the city was very large, and it was roughly estimated that it was enough for 100,000 troops. Tanma replied.

"What? Enough food and grass for 100,000 troops!" Liang Yongneng was shocked, turned his head to look at the officers and staff members around him, and asked: "The army of the cultivators is obviously fighting in the front, how can the enemy come out of thin air with 100,000 people, do you say there will be an ambush ahead?" ”

"The Song army is very strong this time, and sent five people to attack us. Maybe it's the enemy forces from other directions, and we may come to plot against us. In particular, there has been no news from Wang Zhongzheng for a long time, maybe these 100,000 people are Wang Zhongzheng's troops?" said one of the generals.

Wang Zhongzheng was actually a timid and fearful person, afraid of encountering enemy troops along the way, marching very slowly, and deliberately taking some remote roads, just to avoid the Western Xia army. And the seed is opening the way in front, and the Western Xia army has long been gone.

"It's also possible. Otherwise, how dare Shen Kuo stand in front of us so unscrupulously. Now you can't act rashly, you must first find the enemy's ambush before you can act. Liang Yongneng did not dare to rush to send troops, so he had to retreat and station, and sent more scouts to find the non-existent "ambush".

Just when Shen Kuo took more than 2,000 people to set up a formation by the Wuding River and bluffed, Mao Zheng took more than 1,000 people to walk on the mountain trail and approached the Western Xia army. More than 1,000 people brought a lot of big drums, and when twilight fell, they came to the vicinity of the Western Xia army.

"Are we going to do it now?" said Mao Zheng, looking at the countless enemy troops under the mountain, this person was very uneasy.

Although Mao Zheng was also a little nervous, he still said in a steady tone like no one: "It's still very bright now, we have to wait until later to do it, and ask the soldiers to prepare more torches and plant them all over the mountain." Everything will have to wait for my orders, and then act together. ”

The sky gradually darkened, Liang Yongneng was still worried about whether to send troops, he felt that it was impossible for the Song army to come out of thin air with 100,000 people, but after experiencing a big defeat, he was very afraid of another defeat, so he did not dare to make up his mind to attack.

"The commander is not good, the enemy's ambush has come over. ”

Liang Yongneng heard the soldier's words and hurriedly ran out of the camp. Hearing the sound of drums around him echoing in the mountains like thunder, and seeing the boundless and endless torches burning on the opposite mountain, Liang Yongneng's heart was finally completely occupied by panic, and he hurriedly gave the order to retreat, and fled backwards in a panic.

"Mao Xiaoyou's side has already made a move, and the enemy is really a frightened bird. The soldiers will be killed with me, and I will teach those party members a good lesson. Shen Kuo saw the movement in the distance, did not hesitate, and immediately took two thousand soldiers to kill him.

Under the darkness of the night, Shen Kuo and Mao Zheng led 3,000 people to chase the tens of thousands of troops of Western Xia, and they chased for more than ten miles before retreating. Shen Kuo judged the situation and took back several cities that had been captured by the Western Xia people before.

"Haha, with the lesson of this time, Liang Yongneng never dared to come back. Mao Zheng smiled.

"Without his interference, we can also better mobilize food and grass. Mao Xiaoyou, this victory, you have contributed a lot. When I write to the court, I will definitely give you all the credit. Shen Kuo said.

"Thank you Shen Zhizhou for your promotion, Shen Zhizhou's favor, I Mao Zheng must remember it in my heart. Mao Zheng was happy in his heart and hurriedly thanked.

"With a right-hand man like you, you can also share my burden. You were also born as a Jinshi, and you can't say that you always go to the battlefield, so it's better to stay by my side and handle local affairs with me. Shen Kuo said.

"Thank you Shen Zhizhou for your kindness. It's just that I came to the northwest this time, and I am determined to serve the country and recover my lost territory in China. As a man, he should go to the battlefield and spill his blood, and only know what is it to hide in the rear. Mao Zheng said.

It seems that Mao Xiaoyou is not only talented, but also a courageous person. Since Mao Xiaoyou's determination is so big, then I won't keep it. I only hope that Mao Xiaoyou can become a heroic man with both civil and military skills in the future. Shen Kuo said.

"Xie Shen Zhizhou's auspicious words. ”

After a big war, everything was pretty much taken care of. Mao Zheng originally planned to catch up with the troops transporting grain and grass so that he could participate in the battle against Yinzhou. However, the speed of the army was very fast, and before Mao Zheng could make the trip, he had already attacked Yinzhou City.

"According to the previous agreement, after capturing Yinzhou City, all five routes of our army will converge in the direction of Lingzhou City. General Chong has already won a big victory, and Mao Xiaoyou will not be of much use if he goes again. It's better to go directly to Lingzhou City. I also have old friends with Liu Changzuo, the commander of Jingyuan Road, so I recommend Mao Xiaoyou to him. General Liu has always been determined to defeat Western Xia in one fell swoop, and Mao Xiaoyou will definitely be able to play well in him. As long as Lingzhou City is captured, the party members will be finished. As long as Mao Xiaoyou can seize this opportunity, his future return to Bianjing will definitely be promising. Shen Kuo suggested.

Mao Zheng thought about it carefully and felt reasonable. Although he liked to get along with Chong Ge very much, after all, he came to the northwest for meritorious service, so he accepted Shen Kuo's suggestion without much thought, and hurried towards the direction of the Jingyuan Road army.
