16. Victory in the First Battle (II)

Mu You was shocked, hurriedly went to look, and sure enough, he saw a group of Song troops killing along the stairs connecting the city tower and the city wall. The Song generals led by him were covered in blood, and he used a big knife in his hand, just like a fierce god, and killed the Western Xia soldiers in front of him one by one, and it seemed that it would not be long before he could attack the city tower. And under the city tower, the crashing car is still "knock, knock, knock" crashing against the city gate. Listening to this sound, it seems that the city gates may be slammed open at any moment.

At this time, a deputy general said: "Lord Mu, I'm afraid that this city can't be defended, so let's retreat quickly." ”

Mu You also knew that if he didn't leave at this time, he would wait for a while, and he would not be able to leave, so he also nodded and said, "Let's retreat." ”

At this time, Lei Tonggang swung his knife and slashed at the two Western Xia soldiers who were blocking in front of him, and kicked the city tower. Only then did they find that there were only a few Western Xia soldiers left in the city tower, and they were all busy escaping from the stairs. And then it was empty. And its Song army also followed, and the Song army occupied the city tower.

At this moment, I only heard a loud "bang" below, which shook the city tower. Then there was a cheer from under the city:

"The gates are open."

"Kill, kill into the city."

Lei Tonggang came to the battlement, looked down, and saw that under the city, the Song army was entering the city one after another from the city gate. Lei Tonggang couldn't help laughing, and immediately ordered the soldiers to tear down the banner of the city tower Xixia.

Watching the Baisu banner of Western Xia fall from the city tower to the city, the Song army stepped on this banner and continuously entered the city of Xi'an. Gao Zhen was also very satisfied under the city, from the Song army officially began to attack the city, to now open the city gate, and enter the city, less than two hours before and after.

Gao Zhen immediately ordered Guo Shixiong to take the soldiers and horses of the palace to help Lei Tonggang quickly wipe out the remnants of the enemy army in the city, and at the same time stabilize the order in the city as soon as possible, and prepare to welcome the army into the city.

At this time, Gao Zhen turned his head and looked to the west, this Xi'an Prefecture was captured by the Song army, which was also the first victory since the Song army attacked Western Xia. Now it depends on the result of Wu Xi's side?

In the mountain road of Quwu Mountain, a Western Xia army was advancing eastward along the winding mountain road. The whole team was stretched into a long stretch by the narrow mountain road, and there were constantly generals running back and forth, shouting from time to time: "Hurry up, follow, hurry up." ”

This force is the reinforcement sent to Xi'an Prefecture by the Xishou Baotai Military Division.

After Dong Mingzhao received Mu You's urgent message, he did not dare to slack off, and immediately organized people to rescue Xi'an Prefecture. However, at this time, the Song army jumped over the Rouluo Mountain with a warp, and happened to block the traffic artery from the Xishou Baotai Military Division to Xi'an Prefecture.

Dong Mingzhao participated in the war two years ago, and he knew that Yang Yan was powerful, and now the Song army was divided into two routes, all the way to besiege Xi'an Prefecture, blocking the rescue road all the way, obviously waiting for reinforcements to come out? Although Dong Mingzhao is not a world-famous general, he still understands the basic common sense of "besieging the city and sending reinforcements". Therefore, they did not dare to send troops lightly.

But there are only thousands of defenders on the side of Xi'an, and they will definitely not be able to stop the attack of the Song army, not only can they not go to the rescue, but they must also be rescued as soon as possible, and they are afraid that it will be too late if it is too late. Therefore, Dong Mingzhao took great pains and finally came up with a route, that is, from the south of Rouwolf Mountain, through the Yongfeng Valley of Quwu Mountain, to Dingrong Fort, and go around a big circle to rescue Xi'an Prefecture.

Although this route was almost three times as long, it was able to avoid the ambush of the Song army. At the same time, in order to confuse the Song army, he sent another group of men and horses, pretending to be reinforcements, and marched along the road leading to Xi'an Prefecture by the Xishou Baotai Military Division, but stopped at the place close to the Song army and quietly retreated, hoping to pass the pass in confusion.

The chief general of the Western Xia army is called Wu Yigai, who was originally Dong Mingzhao's deputy general, and this time he came to the rescue of Xi'an Prefecture and brought 10,000 horses, all of which were the elite men and horses of the Xishou Baotai Military Division. He also knew that there were only a few thousand men and horses in Xi'an, and now the distance was three times more, so he urged the men and horses to go quickly, and after three days of rapid marching, they finally arrived in front of Yongfeng Valley on the side of Quwu Mountain. Because they were in a hurry for days, the people and horses were very tired, so they did not move the cover and gave the order, first rested in place for a while, and then walked through the Yongfeng Valley in one go.

I was also very happy in my heart, this time I finally deceived the Song army, as long as I passed through the Yongfeng Valley, I could reach Dingrong Fort, and then go to the rescue of Xi'an Prefecture, now I only hope that Mu You of Xi'an Prefecture can hold on to his own help.

At this moment, I saw dust flying in the valley behind me, and a soldier panted and ran to the front of the cover and said, "Lord Wuyi, behind us, there are pursuers of the Song army coming." ”

Wu Yigai nodded, thinking in his heart: Yang Yan still found out that he had changed his route, but now it is too late, as long as he arrives at Dingrong Fort, then he is not afraid of being chased by the Song army. Therefore, he immediately ordered: "The men and horses shall immediately enter the valley and rush to Dingjung Fort." ”

Yongfeng Valley is nearly thirty miles long, although the Western Xia soldiers are very tired, but after resting for a while, they all took a breath, and heard that there was a Song army chasing behind them, and they couldn't help but cheer up again and advance towards Yongfeng Valley.

At this time, the chasing soldiers behind him were also chasing more and more urgently, chasing closer and closer, and gradually the sound of horses' hooves could be heard, and the Western Xia soldiers also ignored their fatigue and walked at full speed. It took less than an hour to cover most of the 30-mile journey.

Seeing that he was out of the valley and looked again, and the Song army behind him did not chase after him, and he was greatly relieved that he did not move the cover, it seemed that this trip was still in danger. Then he shouted to the soldiers: "Brothers, hold on a little longer, and the horses will be able to go out of the valley." Out of Yongfeng Valley, it is Dingrong Fort. After entering Dingrong Fort, there was no need to be afraid of the Song army, so everyone worked hard and walked out of Yongfeng Valley earlier. ”

Before the words fell, I only heard the sound of "whoosh, whoosh, whoosh" breaking through the air, and countless feathered arrows were shot from the valleys on both sides, all towards the Western Xia army in the valley. The Western Xia army was caught off guard and was shot down in a large area at once. The screams of the people and the wailing of the horses rang out, and the whole team suddenly became chaotic.

I couldn't help but be taken aback if I didn't move the cover, it was so difficult that Yang Yan would not know that the prophet would come to this point, and he had already known that he would take the road of Yongfeng Valley to rescue Xi'an Prefecture, so he arranged an ambush in this valley, waiting for him?

It turned out that after Gao Zhen received Yang Yan's general order, while sending troops to attack Xi'an Prefecture, Yijing sent Wu Xi to lead the palace front division to urge the front army to capture Dingrong Fort and block the Western Xia reinforcements at the source of Yongfeng Valley.

After Wu Xi received the order, he immediately led the army to set off, Dingrong Fort originally had 3,000 defenders, but the Song army suddenly turned, after attacking Xi'an Prefecture, Mu You transferred half of the defenders to help defend Xi'an Prefecture, so now there are only 1,500 defenders, and they can't resist Wu Xi's attack at all, and in less than half a day, the Song army captured Dingrong Fort.

Subsequently, Wu Xi left half of his men and horses to guard Dingrong Fort, and he led the other half of his men and horses to set up an ambush in Yongfeng Valley, only waiting for reinforcements from the Western Xia army to arrive.

And Yang Yan sent Wei Jiao to lead the horse army Si Xiao's cavalry to leap over the Rouwolf Mountain to find reinforcements from Western Xia. Because Meng Heng led the way, and there were flying eagles patrolling the air in the suburbs of Jiawei, the Song army quickly discovered the whereabouts of the Western Xia army. However, Wei Jiaozun followed Yang Yan's general order and did not alarm the Western Xia army, but kept a certain distance from the Western Xia army and followed closely.

After a full day, the Western Xia army arrived at the mouth of Yongfeng Valley, and then Wei Jiao led the army to kill, drove the Western Xia army into Yongfeng Valley, and walked into the ambush circle of the Song army. As soon as the Western Xia army arrived, Yongfeng Valley suddenly ambushed the army in all directions, killing loudly, and bows and arrows shot at the Western Xia army like flying locusts. The Western Xia army was attacked on both sides of the narrow mountain road, and the front and rear were also blocked by the Song army, and there was no resistance at all, and they were suddenly defeated by the Song army, with countless people and casualties.

The entire battle ended in less than an hour, and the Song army naturally won a complete victory. The commander of the Western Xia army did not move the cover and died on the spot under the random arrows, 10,000 horses, nearly 7,000 people were killed in the battle, and the remaining 3,000 people all raised their hands and surrendered, becoming prisoners of the Song army. The number of Song soldiers killed in the battle was less than fifty.

After the Song army entered the Western Xia, it captured Xi'an Prefecture, and ambushed the reinforcements of the Western Xia in Yongfeng Valley, and at the same time, the Western Route Army also came with good news, and Yang Changpeng led the army to successfully capture Liangzhou. The three men and horses of the Song army all won the first battle.

After guarding the Xishou Baotai Military Division, Dong Mingzhao learned that Xi'an Prefecture was lost, and he also knew that there was no point in guarding the Xishou Baotai Military Division. Immediately abandoned the Xishou Baotai Military Division, and led the army to retreat to the Jingsai Military Division, hoping to join up with the Muzang Anhuan who attacked the Jingsai Military Division, and then make the next step.

However, Yang Yan had already anticipated the withdrawal route of the Western Xia army, so he arranged an ambush on the way. As soon as the Western Xia army arrived, the ambush army immediately came out from both sides, defeated Dong Mingzhao, and lost more than half of the army, and all the military resources, grain and grass were all obtained by the Song army. also knew that he could no longer go to the Jingsai Military Division to join Γ—Γ—, so he had to lead the defeated army to retreat north to Liying, and then temporarily stationed there. And the Song army also took advantage of the situation to capture the Xishou Baotai Military Division.

After occupying the Xishou Baotai Military Division, the Song army opened the gap into the Western Xia on the east and west banks of the Yellow River, and could go all the way deep into the Western Xia territory without hindrance, rescue Ren Dejing, and attack Xingqing Mansion. At the same time, the recovery of Xi'an Prefecture and Huizhou Prefecture also meant that the Song army's initial strategic goals had been achieved, and they could further penetrate into the territory of Western Xia.

Then Yang Yan immediately ordered Yang Changpeng to temporarily station in Liangzhou to prevent the Gansu Military Division and the Xiping Military Division from coming to help. He also ordered Gao Zhen to lead the men and horses of the Eastern Route Army to rescue the Jingsai Military Division, while he personally led the army along the north of the Yellow River to rescue Lingzhou. The three-way army of the Song army marched hand in hand in the Youxia realm.
