Even if the gunpowder greatly reduced the combat effectiveness and morale of the Xia army before this, the Xia army was outnumbered, and the Song army was still at a disadvantage.

Seeing this, Zhi Keshi and Yao Xiong each led their own troops to carry out a surprise attack. The archers on both sides continued to shoot at each other endlessly, and the rain of arrows in the sky was like locusts crossing the border, reaping the lives of the soldiers.

The sharp sound of breaking through the air is the signal that black and white impermanence brings people into the underworld.

After the cavalry troops led by Zhe Keshi defeated a Xia cavalry, they kept harassing the flanks of the Xia infantry. And Yao Xiong's department was in a bitter battle with the Iron Harrier.

The infantry of the Xia army was already in a sea of fire, and at the moment of engagement, the infantry threw out all the incendiary bombs they were carrying.

The fire was gradually spreading and growing, and the balance of war was tilting in the direction of the Song army. Seeing this, Mei Le Du could only grit her teeth and order a retreat, and if the fight continued, at least three of the six supervising army divisions would be killed here.

The Xia army retreated, and the Song army pursued. But the Iron Harrier would not allow the infantry of the Song army to do whatever they wanted in front of them, and the hoplites in this Western Xia army did not even need to stop, they could easily chase after the Song army of their own troops.

However, the Song army was numerous, and the iron harriers were only more than a thousand, so they still did not dare to fight, but only covered the retreat of the Xia army's infantry.

The Song army was afraid of the might of the Iron Harrier, and did not dare to step forward for a while, so they could only watch the Xia army infantry run farther and farther.

Zhi Keshi led 5,000 cavalry to pursue, and the rest of the Song army could only stop and stand guard because they only had two legs and could not outrun the opponent.

In the end, the Battle of Shimen ended with the victory of the Song army, but when Zhi Keshi led his troops to pursue the Xia army to Wuyan Gorge, he was ambushed by Meile Du, lost 2,000 cavalry, and returned in a daze.

After the war, he returned to the rear city to report to Zhang, who looked at the battle report and was silent for a long time.

Yao Xiong's troops directly routed a Western Xia army, beheaded 3,000 and captured more than 30,000. The direct casualties caused by the long-range fire of the Song army exceeded 10,000. Zhe Keshi defeated a Xia cavalry, and the subsequent attack and pursuit also caused the death of more than 8,000 Western Xia soldiers.

But he was carried away by the victory, and his pursuit was still criticized by Zhang. Two thousand cavalrymen were designed to be killed, and even Zhang was in pain.

The role of one cavalry can be at least offset by three infantrymen, because of the carelessness, two thousand cavalry will be gone if they say no, and when converted into infantry, this is more than 6,000 people.

Not counting the horses that were not recovered, because of this, Zhe Keshi was scolded by Zhang for being a bloody dog.

However, he himself was not dismissed or demoted because of this, and Zhang took a fancy to him and asked for meritorious service.

Afterwards, Tang Ning asked Zhi Keshi, because he didn't think it would be something that Zhi Keshi did.

Four years ago, he broke the tail and set up an ambush to blame the Yang River, which directly triggered the Battle of Hindburg. In the end, he defeated the Xia army in Hong Dechuan and almost captured the west

After Xia Guomu Xiaoliang, these few things are enough to prove that Zhi Keshi's superb military quality and command ability.

However, such a person was ambushed during the pursuit due to carelessness? Tang Ning didn't believe it in his heart.

"It was indeed because of Fold's negligence that 2,000 brothers lost their lives in vain." When Zhi Keshi said this, he was sad and helpless.

"Seeing that you used gunpowder to kill Xia Jun, there was an imbalance in Zhe's heart. Zhe began to practice martial arts since he was a child, and he was good at shooting at the age of six, practicing Sanjiu in winter and Sanfu in summer, and he still didn't dare to slack off.

But gunpowder can make a soldier who has no experience in martial arts easily kill and injure the enemy. And the enemy who kills and wounds is not just one person, but a group of people.

Fold was unwilling, so he was carried away, and when he came back to his senses, he had already pursued to the smokeless gorge.

Zhi knew that this place was very easy to ambush, but it was too late. The ambush of the thieves has already begun to move, and we have no choice but to flee in a hurry. By the time they escaped from the Smoke Gorge, there were only 3,000 brothers left......"

Zhe Keshi, a seven-foot man, had blood red in his eyes: "If it weren't for me...... If I hadn't ......"

Seeing that Zhi Keshi was about to cry, Tang Ning hurriedly said: "General Zhe, in fact, you have done a good job. If you hadn't led the cavalry to harass the thieves' flanks, I'm afraid the thieves' defeat and escape would have lasted until now. ”

"But the two thousand brethren ......"

"Folded general, people can't be resurrected after death. It is hard to deny that 2,000 brothers have died because of you today. But in the coming day, as long as you kill 20,000 thieves and go down to bury them, those 2,000 brothers will definitely smile at Jiuquan.

General Fold, you have to cheer up. To err is human? Everybody makes mistakes at times, and this is true for you, for me, and even for adults.

The reason why the envoy did not take away your official position was only to punish and demote you, and this is the significance. My lord, I hope you will make meritorious contributions! I hope you will be ashamed and brave!

Your name is widely spread among our army. As long as you appear, no matter how difficult this battle is, the soldiers will be convinced of the final victory of our army.

Because the soldiers trust you, they believe that you are the victorious general who can lead them to victory. If you fall into a slump because of this, won't you live up to the expectations and trust of the soldiers?

It's just a small episode in a hearty victory, and General Zhe can remember it in his heart and never forget it for a moment, but it can't affect your will.

Brothers, we are waiting for you to lead us to sing the song of victory! ”

Tang Ning is worthy of being a salesman, and after saying this, Zhi Keshi's expression has changed from ashamed and self-reproach to extremely firm.

He gratefully hugged Tang Ning in his arms and said, "Thank you!" Thanks a lot! ”

Tang Ning was a little out of breath, and patted the back of Zhe Keshi vigorously, signaling

He quickly let go.

However, this was mistaken for a sign of Tang Ning's enthusiasm, so he used a little more strength.

"Click......"

A day later, Downing, with his arm hanging from his neck, was arranged by Zhang to live in a courtyard in the middle of the city.

Pei Xiantong was holding a bowl in his hand, and inside the bowl was steaming porridge. She carried a spoon in her hand, gently tapped the edge of the bowl, looked at Tang Ning and sneered, "Do you want to eat?" ”

"You put it down, I have my own hands, I don't want you to feed me."

"Yes." Pei Xiantong glanced at the spoonful of porridge sprinkled under Tang Ning's feet, put the porridge in front of Tang Ning, and said with a smile: "Eat it." ”

Tang Ning was still a little weak at first, and turned his eyes away. But when Pei Xiantong put the bowl in front of him, Tang Ning scolded in his stomach.

However, he still stubbornly stretched out another trembling hand, but it was only a repetition of the last result.

Zhi Keshi's strength was too great, his left hand seemed to be strangled by him, and his right hand was also strangled by him. After Pei Xiantong saw it, he said that there was no big problem, but he needed to recuperate for a while.

So Cheng Yang was able to monopolize power again, but Tang Ning had to be fed by Pei Xiantong one bite at a time.

Does Downing enjoy it? Of course he enjoyed it, but he was very entangled.

He has a very good impression of Pei Xiantong, I mean, what man would not have a good impression of a girl who looks so beautiful?

Especially after Xilan Zongbao woke up with a high fever, the moment he saw Pei Xiantong for the first time, he always appeared over and over again in his dreams.

Tang Ning realized that this woman was already lingering in his mind.

The family is already fighting ~ the landlord, and Tang Ning already feels sorry for the three girls. Find another one, Tang Ning's guilt will increase by four parts, so he tried his best to avoid having too much contact with Pei Xiantong, he really wanted to forget about this woman.

"Open your mouth."

"I don't."

"You open it for me!"

"I won't ...... What are you doing? What are you doing with a rope? I warn you not to mess around, I'm ......."

"Open your mouth."

"Ah...... Hmmm......"

"It would have been like this a long time ago, I had to spend that time." Pei Xiantong looked at Tang Ning, who was tied like a zongzi on the stool, and rolled his eyes.

"Fierce woman...... Tang Ning scolded in a low voice: "Dead flat-chested......"

"What did you say?"

"A woman like you exudes a smell of a good wife and mother in her bones, I really don't know who can marry you home in the future, that is really a blessing he has cultivated in eight lifetimes......"

"Open your mouth!"
