"Cai Ting can send troops," Han Jiang said from the side.

Xixia sent 300,000 troops, and the entire rear was empty, including Tiandu Mountain. Now the 5,000 cavalry dispatched by Tiandu Mountain have been tricked by Wang Ju, and Cai Ting can no longer hesitate.

"Then the morning after tomorrow…?"

Wang Ju nodded.

He asked again: "How about the Yonghe Village?"

"It's okay over there."

The situation in Yonghe Village is now quite strange. The innermost part is Yonghe Village itself, with nearly a thousand strong men in it. But now they are not afraid. Besides, there is food and weapons in the village, so what are you worried about?

The second was Wang Zangbu's troops from the outside, and the worst was them. Because there were Song troops outside, they were surrounded by layers of Song troops, and even chopping one wood and roasting one fire would not be enough now. If there was not a stream at the foot of their camp, they would not even have to drink water.

And at noon, due to lack of food, the Xia army began to slaughter horses.

Horses are more human than cows, and as cavalry, horses are their most loyal companions. Some people are slaughtering horses, but the owner of the horse cries aside.

In fact, Miao Shu and Zhou Yongqing also wanted to cry, and they wanted to say, "You lack food, so let's give it to you, don't slaughter the horses." One horse was slaughtered, and the slaughter made Song Jun feel heartbroken when he saw it outside.

But it is impossible not to slaughter. The Xia army outside could not attack. The inside was not only lacking human food, but also lacking horse food. People had no food to eat, and horses were not allowed to eat! Even after two more days of siege, there was no firewood for cooking, and they could only eat raw meat.

Outside them was Zhou Miao's army, and Zhong Gu also returned. He also had to sit in Huanzhou and command the defense of forts such as Ansai Village and monitor some "neutral" villages.

However, they were not under great pressure. Although the Western Xia attacked on both sides, the Song army had already established a strong camp at this time, and learned to use it. They learned from Li Sangou, forcibly let the prisoners of war stand under the wall with shields to make meat shields. The Song army fought back from behind.

The awkward offensive and defensive battle in Xixia began again.

The outermost periphery is the 20,000 army of Xixia, but it is not a flat land. Instead, the terrain of Mailiang, the Xia army has many troops, and the camp has stretched for three or four miles. The Song army is not a solid fortress in its hands, but the area it can attack is limited. In addition, the Song army has so many soldiers and horses to defend, no matter how Xixia attacks, it will not pose any threat to the Song camp.

Zhang Yue probably talked about the situation.

But this is just now. If the general attack starts and Xixia is red in her eyes, then the offense and defense will become fierce. Then, where will it become a meat grinder like Mengmen Sancha? And the scale of this meat grinder is far better than Mengmen Sancha.

"That's good."

This is also the effect that Wang Ju wants. If there is no accident, there is still a day to come. At this critical moment, Wang Ju doesn't want any changes to happen again.

"Wang Ju, Di Yong found me and took the initiative to admit his mistake." Han Jiang said.

"He was wrong."

"It's great to know that mistakes can be corrected. Let him lead the army and make meritorious contributions."

Wang Ju was also wrong with this matter. From the beginning, he distrusts Di Gao and the other two. In addition, Di Yong and Gao Huaizhong are indeed a little contempt because Wang Ju was young. In addition, they are not Wang Ju's direct subordinates. Wang Ju then distributes troops to Miao Su first and then to Qu Zhen because he does not believe in it. He changes the combat plan at will, making them run around the three armies, which further aggravates Gao Huaizhong's dissatisfaction.

Wang Ju has not reflected on it now. He has reflected on it and he does not regret it. He asked himself to do it again. Do you have to use Di Yong and Gao Huaizhong to dare to gamble? Or do you dare not gamble?

Therefore, Wang Ju said firmly: "You don't need to doubt people, and you don't have to doubt people. He is afraid of suffering, so let him stay in Qingzhou without suffering."

Han Jiang couldn't plead for Di Yong anymore, and the news came, which scared Han Jiang. Nearly two hundred people were killed. What a great murderous intention!

"Actually, that's good," Zhang Feng said. Di Yong brought not a few people. Even if the 26th Battalion was divided into 10 battalions and Miao Su, there were still officers and soldiers of the 16th Battalion. The troops were originally short of force, so could it be used as a reserve team? Therefore, Wang Ju broke into Fengchuan Village overnight, killed Gao Huaizhong, and left Di Yong idle, and broke up the officers and soldiers of the 16th Battalion to reorganize. In this way, the officers and soldiers of the 16th Battalion were truly useful.

As for what Di Yong will do in the future? Could it be that for Di Yong's reputation, he will take advantage of the safety of more than 100,000 Song troops?

"Han Gong, everything is ready, only the south wind is not needed. Soon, the biggest battle since the founding of our country will begin. The defeat in the northwest will be depressed from then on. The biggest victory of our country is about to come. Now that the south wind is blowing, we should consider the main business more." Wang Ju said.

In fact, Di Yong can also fight. But if he can fight, wouldn’t Li Kezhong be able to fight too? Why wouldn’t he still let Wang Ju put him in Yele Town and even change his plans for him? This is equivalent to being idle in disguise?

Personal martial arts are personal martial arts. They can fight but don’t work. They must be able to command and have a certain degree of military cultivation. Miao Shu will definitely not be able to beat Li Kezhong in terms of martial arts, but Wang Ju doesn’t pay attention to Miao Shu?

Wang Ju said again: "I don't know the general."

Enough.

A bowl of water is uneven, just like Gao Min almost ran out of ammunition and food at the Sancha of Mengmen. He also kept scolding Wang Ju's mother in his heart, but he always abides by Wang Ju's orders.

Moreover, this battle is of great importance, and no one can act voluntarily. Therefore, Han Jiang was finally speechless.

Another day passed.

The early morning sun shines on Tiandu Village, and the scenery here is as beautiful as a painting. However, on this morning, the bloody battle tore through the picture.

Seeing Guo Cheng fighting on the top of the city, He Bin said with emotion: "There are people from Jiangshan, and I am old too."

The forward general he recommended was Guo Cheng of Deshun Army.

Due to the changes brought by Wang Ju, many brave generals walked to the front stage in this battle. Of course, more generals walked to the front stage, but because of their ability, even though Wang Ju set up this stage, he still couldn't get out.

Under Guo Cheng's fight, more and more Song troops attacked the city of Tianduzhai.

Soon, under Guo Cheng's desperate cover, the Song army finally opened the gate of the village, and five thousand cavalry rushed in like a tide.

On the 17th day of the Qingzhou Battle, Cai Ting took advantage of the inadequacy of Xixia and Tiandu Mountain's troops were empty. He sent Hebin to lead 5,000 cavalry and 5,000 infantry. Guo became the vanguard general. After nightfall, he attacked Shimenxia and Wuyanxia since Xiaodao, and transferred three Xixia camps in a row.

Of course, the credit has to be a little more magnified.

In fact, due to the empty military force, the Xia army left behind in these three small villages only had one or two hundred, two or three hundred. In addition, the Song army attacked at night, they were not prepared at all, and almost no battle occurred. They were taken down by the Song army.

In the early morning, five thousand cavalrymen raided Tiandu Dazhai in Tiandu Mountain. The terrain here is very good, surrounded by mountains, and several small rivers rushing towards the Yellow River. Therefore, it has always been the center of the Western Xia Dynasty, and later generations have become the location of Haiyuan County.

Then the Song army quickly turned to attack the Xixia Palace.

There is a very beautiful and ridiculous legend in this palace. Li Yuanhao married a woman from Wuyi clan for his son, but this Wuyi clan is a peerless demon. Li Yuanhao saw Wuyi clan on his bridal night and was shocked to the heavens and forced him to accept it. He was called the new queen. In order to make him happy, he built a seven-san palace in Tiandu Mountain. It was magnificent, and the treasury and the treasury and the museums were all prepared. The Song Dynasty called the Xixia palace, which refers to these seven palaces.

On the south of the Tiandu Mountain Grottoes, it is on the west side of Tiandu Village. If divided according to later generations, Tiandu Mountain is divided into Xihua Mountain and Nanhua Mountain. Tiandu Mountain Grottoes are in Xihua Mountain and the palace is in Nanhua Mountain. Of course, Cai Ting does not need to invade these Xixia temples further north.

But it was precisely because of this failure to move, a series of accidents occurred in the Western Xia, including Yeli Yuqi's murder, Li Yuanhao's father and son turned against each other and killed each other. First, Ning Ling Ge was killed by Li Yuanhao, and Li Yuanhao was also cut off his nose by Ning Ling Ge, and soon he died. Then the Wei Zang family came to power, and then Li Liangzuo killed Wu Zang Epang, and there were others behind him, one by one...

However, this palace has been preserved. The nobles of Xixia often come here to avoid offices in the summer. As a result, some commercial residences and workshops began to appear here. Even in spring and winter, some nobles come to play. Moreover, on the edge of Nanhua Mountain is the national ranch in Xixia. There are almost not many war horses now, and most of them go to Qingzhou with the army. But in addition to war horses, a large number of black goats and yaks are also raised here.

Spring is coming, and although the temperature is still very cold, when the weather is good, the ice and snow are melting quietly, including the ice wall of Mengmen Sancha, when it is noon, large clouds of water stains begin to appear.

Therefore, there are more nobles who come to hunt and play.

But this day became their day of disaster. Under the sacking of the Song army, almost few people escaped, and ninety-one of them were captured. Then five thousand Song Dynasty infantry arrived and turned into dismantlers and porters.

Since it is the palace of Xixia and many nobles live here, how can we lose wealth?

Not only did there be a lot of gold, silver and jewelry, but also, Hebin once again ordered Guo Cheng to kill him to the pasture next to him, forcibly drove away the herdsmen, and rushed over a large number of cattle and sheep.

After demolishing for more than a day, they moved them one by one. The palaces and buildings that could not be moved were burned out with fire. Then they took prisoners of war and livestock back to Zhenrong Army in a mighty manner.

The Xixia people nearby also received the news, but they had no soldiers in their hands, so they had to watch the Song army retreat with great swagger.

This battle is not only very symbolic, but also has a lot of rewards. In addition to the soldiers who swallowed it privately, Cai Ting rewarded it, and the remaining gold, silver and jewelry handed over to the court were discounted by more than two million yuan!

Of course, He Bin did not forget the main business. He took the Tiandu Village first and turned to attack the palace, and sent someone to inform Qingzhou later. However, he was still very grateful to Wang Ju. If it were not Wang Ju, he might have broken the Tiandu Village first, let alone the Xixia Palace.

Although Han Jiang learned about the plan in advance, she still envied herself after receiving the news.

"Where to break through Tiandu Mountain?"

Zhang Shi felt funny when he looked at his envious look. However, Wang Ju also felt funny, because this was originally Zhang Shi's credit, but now it has become Cai Ting's credit. The next time Zhang Shi would not have a second palace to burn, and most of this plan was done by Zhang Shi.

Wang Ju still doesn't know that the officers and soldiers of Weizhou have obtained a lot of wealth.

But the Tiandu Mountain and the Xixia Palace are second only to Xingqing Prefecture and Lingzhou in the Western Xia, equivalent to Xiazhou in the Western Xia, or Chang'an and Daming Prefecture of the Song Dynasty. What kind of shock will it bring if Xiao Yanyan, the Liao Kingdom, breaks Daming Prefecture when he goes south? Or what kind of shock will it bring to the Song Dynasty when Li Yuanhao's troops are at the foot of Chang'an City?

Its meaning is equivalent to both.

Although it is only symbolic, it will indeed make the three armies of the Song Dynasty proud.

No matter what, Cai Ting successfully attacked Tiandu Mountain. He also reached the next step. The most critical step.

Wang Ju ordered people to bring some prisoners of war. Those nobles who took the initiative to confess and some of the Xixia generals with status, not only the nobles captured under the city of Qingzhou and Yele Town, but also some nobles and generals captured in Malingchuan yesterday, were also identified and first took the lead to Huanzhou Prison, and then carried them to Qingzhou City with horses, and then forced them to confess overnight. Some of them were greedy for life and fearful of death, and they also took the initiative to confess. After the clerks made records one by one, they asked them to sign and seal the books.

Bring them all up now.

Wang Ju said: "A few days ago, you were captured, including Song Ji, too."

The prisoners of war captured yesterday were unknown, but some prisoners of war captured in Qingzhou a few days ago knew about this. They were arrested with Song Ji and imprisoned them together. However, later Wang Ju's general Song Ji was released, and they did not see it, but they all thought they had been beheaded by Wang Ju.

"That day, I called Song Ji and told him three things. You Xixia sent troops to Qingzhou this time, but there were only three wars. There were many troops, and it was unexpectedly supported by the Liao Kingdom. But although you have many troops, I also have more than 90,000 troops and horses in my hands. I can even transfer more reinforcements from the surrounding areas, and have the advantage of the geographical advantage. This advantage includes the forts and forts in front of me. I am familiar with the terrain, and can be regarded as a hundred thousand troops. I believe you have all tasted it."

"It was unexpected, but you Xixia people took your ideas to some Qiang people in Huanzhou. Why didn't you think that many nobles in Xixia were engaged in private salt and other transactions with our Song Dynasty merchants? So we had known your marching plan for a long time, so where would there be surprise?"

"The last one is the reinforcements of the Liao Kingdom. You Li Yuanhao defeated the Liao Kingdom so badly. Now they ignore our Song Dynasty and give 500,000 yuan a year. In turn, the public is selfless and selfless in disregarding the hatred of the past and sending troops to help you Xixia. They are stupid! Or they promised to send troops, why did you Xixia attack our Song Dynasty regardless of the consequences? The Liao Kingdom is easy to sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight. Therefore, the Liao Kingdom will not send troops."

"These three are useless. Can you still win in Xixia? By the way, I still have a few more news here. One seems that your Xia army's food is getting more and more nervous. The second Dongwu sent troops to Hexi."

"Impossible." A Xia general called out. He was the prisoner of war captured in Yele Town. He was the general transferred from Hexi by Renduolingding. His family was in Hexi. Dong Wen invaded Hexi. How could he not be nervous?

"This is the news that Qinzhou sent by fast horses." Wang Ju handed the express message sent by Wang Shao to these people.

After they finished reading, Wang Ju said again: "I still have a message here."

He also handed them the information sent by He Bin to circulate.

After reading these people, Wang Ju said again: "There is another letter to you by the way."

That is, the manuscript of letters written by Wang Ju to Liang Yi.

"Since the war started, you have suffered heavy casualties in Xixia, and our Song Dynasty also had more than 10,000 soldiers. You Xixia are a little ignorant of the lives of the people and the survival of the country, and are still warlike, but can you really defeat our Song Dynasty? Therefore, I released Song Ji back and asked him to persuade Liang Yi to withdraw his troops within two days. I also stamped the letter with an official seal to guarantee that if we withdraw troops within these two days, I will not send any army to pursue him. But what about you Xixia? Two days have passed, not only did not withdraw troops, but instead, five thousand cavalrymen were drawn from Tiandu Mountain the day before yesterday to attack Suyuan Village. As a result, all five thousand cavalry were destroyed, either dead in battle or now they have become prisoners of war in our dynasty. The Tiandu Mountain Grand Village and the marching have also been broken, and now they are burned completely by our army. This is the result you Xixia people want?"

A general asked hesitantly: "You Song Dynasty really broke through Tiandu Village."

"Is there any falsehood? Who is the governor of Weizhou? Cai Ting! You have repeatedly invaded Weizhou these days. Once, they successfully retreated from the boundary of Jingyuan Road? Originally, Tiandu Village had few troops, and Cai Ling and Pang Shang drew 5,000 cavalry to Huanzhou. How could Mr. Cai miss such a good opportunity?"

"It's over, it's over." The Xia general murmured.

"Okay, the reason why I called you to come is my original promise. I promised that as long as you take the initiative to confess, I will release you back. Now I have asked you to go back."

"But after you go back, your master will inevitably ask. Please remember that you must grit your teeth and say that I intend to release you from you and ask you to bring you a message and retreat quickly. This will shake your morale, not for anything else. As for what you said and done in Qingzhou, I will keep it a secret for you. There are still other criminals, and they will all be sent to me to the mine in the south, and you will never think of going back to Xixia. However, if you leak your secrets yourself, Liang can't blame me for the accountability."

After Wang Ju finished speaking, he deliberately withdrew and asked the large group of people to confess their own confessions. Wang Jucai came in and said, "For your convenience, follow Liang Yongneng who came to Qingzhou to stand on the left, follow Ren Duolingding who came to Qingzhou to stand on the right, and follow Liang Yi to stand in the middle."

Since the "good intention" is released, then do good things to the end.

Those who came to the Song Dynasty, asked them to ride horses and sent cavalry to guard them, and sent them to Wujiao Town, approach Huai'an Town, and asked them to dismount and return to Renduoling Ding's tent. Those who came to Qingzhou with Liang Yi were sent to the place close to Rouyuan Village, and asked them to dismount and return to Liang Yi's tent. Those who came with Liang Yongneng were sent to Liyuan Fort and asked them to return to Liang Yongneng's tent.

It was because the Song Dynasty was too short of horses, otherwise Wang Ju would have given them even horses with kindness. (To be continued...)
