Liang Yi, the minister of the Western Xia Kingdom, was looking down on the city wall, and suddenly heard a burst of cheers from the Song army on the opposite side, and his heart was also pounding with fright. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info The elite troops of Western Xia were all taken away by Liang Yongneng, although he had 30,000 people here, most of them were newly recruited Ding Zhuang, and the weapons and equipment were not complete, so it was conceivable that they would fight. But Liang Yi was buried in the prime minister, and behind him was Lingzhou City, so he had no choice but to command the army to resist Liu Changzuo's attack.

Although Liu Changzuo pretended to have the courage to go to the front line, he was actually very afraid. Others are holding shields and holding steel knives to the front line, ready to fight at any time, but he has a big shield in one hand, covering his body tightly, which looks a little funny. But no matter what, he took the lead after all.

Mao Zheng also changed out of his civilian official uniform this time, and followed Liu Changzuo in armor to the front of the Mo Navel Pass. Although there were arrows and stones flying everywhere in front of him, Mao Zheng still calmly watched the situation on the pass, and soon he discovered the problem of the Xixia people.

"Brother Liu, you see, the power of the arrows shot by the enemy is very small, and many soldiers are shot as if they are nothing; If I'm not mistaken, these people were recruited in a hurry, and the weapons in their hands were all shoddy. As long as we muster up the courage to launch a fierce attack, this pass will soon be able to be captured. Mao Zheng said.

As soon as Liu Changzuo heard that the enemy's weapons were not lethal, he let go of his suspense for a while, and he also heard Mao Zheng say that as long as he launched a fierce attack, this pass could be captured, and he even left all the dangers behind.

"Is that really the case? That's great, everybody rushed with me. After Liu Changzuo finished speaking, he rushed over desperately.

"Brother Liu, you don't have to rush so high. Mao Zheng said and hurriedly followed, secretly asking for magic in order to protect Liu Changzuo.

The defense of the Tanguts was not tight, and all the soldiers were attacking the city step by step, as long as it didn't take much time, they could capture the pass in front of them.

But as Liu Changzuo rushed to the front, all the generals were taken aback and shouted "Protect General Liu." Then he led the men to follow.

When all the soldiers saw Liu Changzuo rushing to the front, they all sighed to each other: "It turns out that our General Liu is also a fierce man." We can't afford to lose General Liu's face. So he rushed over desperately.

Liang Yibury saw that the soldiers of the Song army were so brave, he collapsed to the ground in fright for a while, and the other soldiers defending the city were even more panicked.

"Brother Mao is really like a god, the party is really vulnerable, hahahaha. Liu Changzuo attacked the city, and when he saw the enemy surrendering one after another, he couldn't help laughing.

During the whole process, Mao Zheng had already been shocked into a cold sweat, and he finally relieved himself when he saw that Liu Changzuo was safe and sound in the end. Although he secretly blamed Liu Changzuo for being impulsive, he didn't want to ruin his interest at this time.

Capture the mill navel pass, capture the Western Xia minister Liang Yi buried. Liu Changzuo did not hesitate, and immediately the celebrity sent back the good news and asked the court for credit. Liu Changzuo won a big victory, and he trusted Mao Zheng even more, and he had to ask Mao Zheng before making a decision.

"Now that we've won a big game, it's time to celebrate. Huh, why is Brother Mao gone, how can he be missing from this celebration?" Liu Changzuo said after cleaning up the battlefield.

"He went outside to interrogate the prisoners of war. One replied.

"What prisoners of war are you interrogating at this time? How can ......you have the pleasure of eating meat and drinking wine? Forget it, I'll invite him over personally. Liu Changzuo was happy in his heart, and regardless of his identity as the commander of the first army, he came to find Mao Zheng in person.

As soon as Liu Changzuo went out, he saw Mao Zheng coming over with a thoughtful expression.

After Mao Zheng listened to Liu Changzuo's invitation, he thought for a while and said, "Brother Liu, we are not busy celebrating now. Although we won a great victory, there was not much food and grass in the army. If we consume grain and grass in vain, I'm afraid we won't be able to support it for a few days. ”

"Oh, that's what you said. We are now in the heart of the enemy, and we are short of food and grass, so this is not a good time to celebrate. It's okay, let's hurry up. Anyway, the party members are also vulnerable, and the sooner we capture Lingzhou City, we can also go back to enjoy Qingfu as soon as possible. Tomorrow we will attack in the direction of Niushou Mountain. Liu Changzuo said.

"The direction of Niushou Mountain is the closest way to attack Lingzhou, and the Li clan will definitely send heavy troops there to defend it. In my opinion, it is better for us to make a detour to Mingshazhou in the northwest, so that we can take advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness and rush to Lingzhou City with lightning speed. As long as Lingzhou City can be captured, the enemy will be completely finished. Mao Zheng suggested.

"Good idea, but didn't you say that we don't have enough food and grass? Is it really okay to take a detour to Mingshazhou?" Liu Changzuo said with some concern.

"I have just interrogated the prisoners of war, and I have received important information from them. It turned out that the puppet court of the Li family built a huge imperial warehouse in Mingshazhou, which stored millions of catties of grain. As long as we can capture Mingshazhou, there will be no shortage of food. Mao Zheng said.

With the help of Brother Mao, I saved a lot of trouble on this expedition. Okay, let's march in the direction of Mingshazhou, and we must get those millions of catties of grain as quickly as possible. With food, so that the soldiers can eat and drink enough, and only then can they fight harder!" Liu Changzuo said excitedly.

"However, in order to confuse the enemy, we still have to set up suspicious troops and make it look like we will continue to march towards Niushou Mountain. Let the enemy wait in Niushou Mountain, and when Lingzhou City is attacked by us, we will ensure that they will stare at each other. Mao Zheng said.

"Yes, that's a good point, Brother Mao is really a clever plan. Gee, I can't get my head around. So take my banner and go down and command. I need to take a sip of wine and sober up now. Liu Changzuo listened to Mao Zheng's suggestion, but he couldn't stop applauding, but after listening to such a complicated plan, his brain also turned into a mess. He trusted Mao Zheng very much, so as soon as he handed over the Ling Qi, everything was fine.

So under Mao Zheng's plan, 50,000 soldiers on Jingyuan Road quickly captured Mingshazhou and hollowed out all the millions of grain in the "Imperial Warehouse".

With the replenishment of food, the morale of the soldiers on Jiangyuan Road was even stronger, and they were unstoppable along the way, and finally came to Lingzhou City in mid-October.
