The fierce battle was about to pass, and the brave soldiers began to get tired. While Liang Yongneng was hesitating whether to withdraw from the battle and find another way, a drum sound suddenly came from the hillside... Afterwards, he knew that it was the Song army commander Zhong Yan who was beating the drum himself! The Xixia people who heard the drum sound suddenly became frightened in their fatigue and depression. The most annoying thing was this kind of thing. There must be danger in the sudden beating of the drum and gong, but they didn't know where the danger came from!

Danger came from all directions, until Liang Yongneng could not believe it. The Song army, who had fought with 80,000 cavalry for 6 hours, did not do their best? What kind of madmen are the Zhong Family Army of the Song Dynasty? There were so many soldiers who were quietly ambushing and watching coldly until they were exhausted... It was too cunning and too crazy! The torture of the whole morning was exchanged for the overwhelming advantage at this time. Ambushings were everywhere, and the fatal attack occurred on the hillside.

An elite cavalry of the Song army rushed down and condescending. Guo Jingxiu led the way. The two armies connected and "killed the two giant chiefs" to storm the Dangxiang cavalry! There was no suspense in the battle. The Xixia people "stopped the two sides of the funeral" and floated corpses in Wuding River. "Blood stained Yinchuan, and the red ones were all over the red ones." The Zong family army chased for more than 0 miles, beheaded more than 8,000 levels, captured 5,000 horses, and countless other flag armors, capturing seven generals including the Xixia Privy Council, Ma Nu Chi Togo...

Liang Yongneng ran away, and tens of thousands of cavalrymen made him a meat shield. During the escape, he was frightened, confused, puzzled, and perhaps even more resentful. He didn't understand what the Xixia people in Mizhi City were doing? After fighting here for a whole morning, it was obvious that the Song army had participated in the war. Why didn't Mizhi City come to support? If there were attacks in front and back, such a thing would never happen!

What he didn't know was that the Xixia people in Mizhi City were even more depressed than him. They heard the fighting sounds in the valley, but they asked them to rush out to cooperate inside and outside? This was really difficult!

Before leaving, Zhong Yan dug a trench outside the city gate. It was deep and long. A large row of Song Dynasty soldiers stood by the edge of the ditch with bright swords and wanted to leave the city. It was obvious that the order of movement was to jump down the ditch first, climb, get a knife, and then fall back into the ditch... This kind of movement really needs to be thought about carefully. As a result, when they were almost done, Zhong Yan also came back.

With the bloody spoils of the Western Xia cavalry, and then the conflicts were revealed, such as cave cars and other professional siege equipment, the soldiers of the Song Dynasty began to put up ladders and cross the trenches, but they all did it in vain. Before they could open the battle, the gate of Mizhi City opened from the inside... On October 4, Mizhi City surrendered!

After the great victory of the Fuyan army, the time was delayed. The second one was Li Xian's Xihe army. The Xihe army set out from Lanzhou and entered Nuzhe Valley again. There were at least 100,000 Xixia troops around it watching, and they were discovered as soon as they came out of Lanzhou City.

The people of Xixia lost in a hurry, and before all the main forces gathered, they rushed forward. From the inertial thinking, they came to a conclusion that the Song Dynasty finally took the initiative to leave the city. The wilderness was the world of cavalry and the world of nomadic people! The Nuzha Valley was the focus of turning the situation around!

Li Xian gave them this opportunity and wanted to fight in the field? The Xihe Corps started in the field from the beginning! On the 7th, there was no heavy fog, no plan, no risk and luck. The two sides were nakedly fighting in the battle of the Nvji Valley. Nearly an hour later, the Xihe Corps forced the Xixia people to repel the Xixia people. The repulsion result also had extremely difficult technical skills - strictly control the direction and squeezed the Xixia people into a deep ditch and a big stream!

The Xixia people threw down a large number of dead bodies and floated on the water surface, fled to the other side of the big stream. They didn't give up, and they felt that they would not accept it no matter what. How could they lose to the Song Dynasty in the field? This is impossible? So they made a very "rational" decision - not to escape, recover first through this big stream, and wait for their physical strength to recover before competing with the Song army! During the recovery process, they were not idle, and sent a large number of archers to launch at the Song army...

Playing bows and arrows with the Song army? This is something that the Khitan, Jurchen, and even the Mongolian army dare not think about. Until the late Qing Dynasty, the national gate was opened by Western strong ships and powerful cannons. In the past 800 years, the Song army's bows and arrows were invincible in the world - the Divine Arm Bow, go!

Through the big stream, the two armies shot at each other, and the Xixia people were shot like targets. There was no suspense in the end. The Dangxiang people ran away, and they ran as far as they could! There was no reason to be tortured again!

Li Xian finally led the Xihe Corps to continue to advance to the hinterland of Xixia, with the goal of being the Dangxiang core carefully built during the Li Yuanhao period, Tiandu Mountain where the Xixia Palace is located!

On the 1st, the war finally reached the most focus. After a series of fierce battles on the periphery, the Song army's real main target - Jijingyuan and Huanqing armies, the battle to attack Lingzhou was finally launched!

Liu Changzuo, the commander of the Jingyuan Army, has a very distinctive character. For example, Zhong Yan is a cunning wolf, full of danger. He is a ferocious tiger. With him on the battlefield, the light of both enemies and us will be taken away by him. He is a lifelong general who cuts the pass and wins the pass!

Before this Western Expedition, he had fought with the Xixia people. At that time, the Xia soldiers invaded Liugou Fort, and Liu Changzuo led a thousand cavalry to meet the enemy. The Xixia people were very strategic and led him into the encirclement in Black Mountain, where there were 10,000 cavalry ambushed... 10,000 to 10,000, waiting for work, and occupying natural dangers. Who would think this battle would be a sure victory? But it was depressed when it happened to Liu Changzuo. He was indeed surrounded and fell into a hard battle, but no matter how the Xixia people killed him, he couldn't handle him. He fought until dusk and was almost dark. The commander of the Xixia army finally couldn't help but lead the charge himself, and wanted to break it! It was really broken, and Liu Changzuo shot the brave coach with an arrow and shot the brave coach against each other. Taking this opportunity, he broke out of the siege and went home to sleep without anything... This is the strength, the most unreasonable and reasonable thing on the battlefield!

At this time, according to the original plan, Liu Changzuo led the Jingyuan army to the north along Huluchuan, and joined with the Huanqing army on the way. The two armies worked together to besiege Lingzhou City. The actual marching was similar to the plan. For example, if you went north along Huluchuan and broke through the Western Xia army, Liu Changzuo was really in the turbulent navel pass to face the enemy, but Huanqing army was waiting around and there was no one there!

Gao Zunyu failed the appointment, where did he go? This is a secret. This man is very wonderful in fighting. Everyone will know him until he appears. He whispered: This foreign relative with the number one in Tianzi is not simple!

87,000 Han Jian cavalry, 95,000 civilians and Huanqing Army disappeared. The entire army had only more than 50,000 infantry, and the Jingyuan Army, with 5,000 horses, was a little hesitant. This was the weakest of the five armies. It was a very rational idea to preserve its strength before implementing the final attack on Lingzhou City? Isn’t it? Based on this concept, my subordinates advised Liu Changzuo to hide from the limelight and go to Weizhou to find the powerful Huanqing Army...

After hearing this whole lot of long-lasting words, Liu Changzuo gave an order - the entire army was divided into four teams, the shield player was at the front, the second row of divine arm bows, the third row of crossbows, and the fourth row of cavalry. The entire army welcomed the enemy! After defeating, the bounty was doubled! After saying that, he raised two large shields, one hand, and went to the forefront!

The battle begins! Liu Changzuo quickly set up this formation according to local conditions. It seems simple, but in fact it has a clear sense of layering. He stands on the front line and forms the first and only defense line with the shield players. This is destined to be very fragile. If the Western Xia cavalry attacks, this defense line will soon collapse. But the combination of the two rows behind is very knowledgeable. First, the Divine Arm Bow is sniping at an extremely long distance, and if there is a leak, the crossbow player fires again. In this way, he can rush to the shield player, and even if there is a strong crossbow...

The actual combat situation proved that this design was very successful. The Song army's position was as solid as a stolen person, and no matter how elite the enemy was, he would inevitably lose energy after 4 hours of continuous attack. At this time, Liu Changzuo's trump card, the fourth row of teams that had been hidden in the Song army's formation, and the 800 elite cavalry led by Guo Cheng finally waited for the opportunity!

Guo Cheng came out of the battle and fought to the decisive battle. The previous army, including the main general, had been suffering for nearly 4 hours, creating this opportunity for him! He led 800 cavalry to rush out! In a moment, both the enemy and us flew with flesh and blood. Guo Cheng was injured several times, but he became more and more brave and suddenly broke down the formation of the Western Xia army. The Song army took advantage of the victory and chased for more than 0 miles, capturing the enemy's chief general's nephew, Chi Duo Li, and killing more than 460 levels of the formation!

After the victory, the Song army did not repair it and continued to rush. When they arrived at the entrance of the Promotion and Movement, they had two roads. One was to the north to Daidailing and the other to Mingshachuan. Which one should we go? Liu Changzuo sent a spy and soon, a surprise news came - there were treasures in Mingshachuan, and the people of Xixia had a military warehouse there! What are you waiting for? Kill it! In the enemy's territory, food first, let's rob it first! After arriving in Mingshachuan, the Song army realized how great the surprise was. The richness of the materials in this warehouse made it called "Yu Cang" in Xixia. Jingyuan Army was one hundred times more energetic and worked together to whiten the Yu Cang! Departing with a large bag and a full load of small bags and heading towards Lingzhou City!

At the same time, Zhong Yan's army occupied the five Yinxia prefectures, the founding base of Xixia. It entered Xiazhou on the 15th and Yinzhou on the 16th. On the 17th, Wang Zhongzheng's Hedong army came to Xiazhou. However, Xiazhou had been recovered by Zhong Yan, and eunuch Wang was unhappy. So without discussing with Zhong Yan, he attacked Youzhou (5 Yinxia prefectures or Yinxia 4 prefectures, namely Yin, Xia, You, Suihe, Jingzhou, which was established and abolished. Suizhou had long been recovered by the Zong family army. In other words, by this time, the Wang Ye's foundation of the Dangxiang people had all fallen into the hands of the Song army). There was no difficult process worth writing about this period. The field battles in the valleys on the Wuding River before made this area of ​​Xixia's military power a vacuum. Zhong Yan was rampant and was in a situation where he would fight wherever he wanted. He would win.

Of course he remembered what the original plan was. The general attack point of the 5th army was in Lingzhou (Xiping Prefecture, Xixia accompanying capital), and the ultimate goal was Xingqing Prefecture, the capital of Xixia behind Lingzhou! Winning them is the victory!

For this reason, Zhong Yan only swept away the remaining military forces of the Xixia in the Xiazhou city and destroyed the enemy administrative departments. He did not send troops to stay. He still advanced to the next target of Yanzhou!

Let me talk about the number one foreign relative Gao Zunyu. On the 17th, he recovered the Tongyuan Army. On the 0th, the slowest of the five armies entered Weizhou on the border of the Western Xia. At the same time, he issued a notice of peace and security to show his conspiracy.

The focus of the war shifted from the middle road to the west. Li Xian's Xihe Corps broke through the Nuzha Valley and marched quickly. Ri arrived at Quwushan, and then moved forward to the former core of Xixia, the Tiandu Mountain Palace built by the founding emperor Li Yuanhao!

Although the capital is in Xingqing Prefecture, it is the spiritual holy place of the Dangxiang people. Not to mention the strategic significance, but to only talk about the beautiful and huge palace groups on the mountain, it is the accumulation of wealth that gathers the five generations of talents in Xixia to repair and improve! That is money! That is pitiful, barren, and only produces local specialties such as green salt horses and other local products saved by Dangxiang people in several lifetimes! No matter which aspect, Li Xian touched the bottom line that Xixia cannot be negotiated! No matter how tight the other four fronts are, he will never be allowed to invade Tiandu Mountain!

Xixia urgently mobilized tens of thousands of elite troops to gather at the foot of Tiandu Mountain to fight to the death with the Xihe Corps! It was another field battle. At this time, I believe that the Xixia side had a new understanding of the Song army. Zhong Yan and Liu Changzuo defeated them in the wild. At this time, facing the Xihe Corps, the strongest field battle among the Song army, do they have any new solutions? The answer is no!

This is not a matter of having something if you want to have it! The ability and characteristics of the army determine what kind of battle it can only fight. The Western Army of the Song Dynasty reached its current height after a painful blood exchange. The people of Xixia want to catch up in an instant? That was an unrealistic dream!

This battle is a replica of the battle on the valleys of Zhong Yan Wuding River. On that day, there was another fog. In the misty fog, Li Xian ordered the forward to be defeated and led the enemy into the encirclement. The Xixia people only escaped from the rear team, and the entire forward was annihilated! What happened later was the lifelong dreams of the predecessors of the Western Army, such as Fan Zhongyan, Han Qi, Pang Ji, Di Qing, Zhang Kang and others!

Li Xian rushed to Tiandu Mountain and burned the Xixia Palace left by Li Yuanhao to pieces without leaving any tiles, turning into scorched earth without any grass!

At this point, the three major legions of the Song army, Xihe, Fuyan and Jingyuan had faced the Xixia army head-on, and without exception, they were greatly defeated and advanced to the hinterland of Xixia one after another. Among them, the fastest move was Zhong Yan's army. On the 1st day, Fuyan Lujin ruled Qu Zhen to defeat the Xixia army again in Pu Tao Mountain.

Zhong Yan made a big circle on the battlefield. He seized Mizhi, Yinzhou, and Xiazhou, then crossed Hengshan and approached Lingzhou and Xingqing Prefecture, but he did not take the nearest straight line that set out from the base Suide City...

Some historical books attribute it to Zhong Yan's strategic thinking: Zhong Yan once claimed that the main force of Xixia gathered on the east road, that is, the line he took. If he avoided going to the west road, then there would inevitably be a city in Lingzhou in front and a main force in Xixia in the back, and he would go to a dead end by himself. Instead of that, it would be better to "welcome the front and defeat him, the army would be louder, and no one dared to resist after traveling thousands of miles." The stronger the stronger the face, and the decisive battle was so magnificent! Just a little browse the map, you will find that Zhong Yan had no choice. He did have the courage and strength to defeat him, but he was destined to be unable to take a shortcut...

The nearest shortcut is left for the first foreign relative of Tianzi, Gao Zunyu. The five armies have their own routes. You are a border general, want to compete with Empress Dowager Gao’s uncle? Don’t even think about it! Zhong Yan, Liu Changzuo is just to protect the eunuchs and the relatives of the foreign relatives to attack the followers in front of the front!

Despite this, the hero still has his own record for his life! Zhong Yan threw away all the branches and forks and marched wildly towards Lingzhou! He was desperate, and the northwest was severely cold. At this time, it was already November of the lunar calendar, and the northwest land was about to be frozen. It must be fast! If you drag it down? The cold alone will end the battle!

On November 1, Liu Changzuo's Jingyuan army had already burned the war to the Lingzhou city gate! That's right! It's not the city, it's the city gate. The Jingyuan cavalry rushed forward, and the choice of the route of action and the grasp of the timing were unprecedentedly successful! When they appeared in Lingzhou City, the Xixia people guarding the city had no reaction at all. They didn't understand why the Song army could suddenly appear after blocking layers of blocking?

The Western Xia army was shocked and made a very brave and miscalculable decision. Facing the Jingyuan Army, they immediately sent troops out of the city to fight, instead of sticking to it at the first time. Is this confidence? But use your barbarian brain to measure the comparison of the strength of the two sides! Since ancient times, the best city defense troops have not thought of confronting the field troops on the ground. The Jingyuan Army can break through so many Xixia field corps along the way, and its combat effectiveness can be imagined. Can you, the defensive city wall soldiers, be able to deal with it?

But the people of Xixia rushed outside the city like this. Liu Changzuo was instantly ecstatic. The sky was above, which was a good fortune that he dared not expect in advance. Through these Xixia soldiers who rushed out, he saw the open Lingzhou city gate...
Chapter completed!
