From the eighteenth hour to the eighteenth hour, in these eight hours, the men and horses led by Zhe Keshi and Chong Jianzhong fought bloodily.

Xiao Liang later rejected the proposal of the Iron Harrier Commander, and also asked for more Iron Harriers to attack the Song army.

So tens of thousands of iron harriers approached the iron harriers, and Zhe Keshi led the army to the front of the big sedan chair behind Xiaoliang. However, he was slightly out of touch with Downing's troops in the rear, and the Iron Harrier was rushing in. Zhi Keshi had to regretfully give up the idea of attacking Xiao Lianghou.

The herald ordered the soldiers to retreat to the Walled City of Hindburg.

Just when the exhausted Song army began to kill back to Hongdezhai, the Poxi army of Western Xia also arrived at the battlefield. Compared with the Iron Harrier, the pressure brought to the Song Army by the Po Xi Army is the same.

This is because the Ponxi army is made up of camels carrying small trebuchets.

A stone fell, and a group of people were smashed into pulp on the spot. The rocks fell from the sky, and at this time, I could only pray to God to bless the stones from falling on my body.

Tang Ning couldn't walk anymore, not because he was tired, because when a piece fell from the sky just now, it smashed in front of him, smashing a small soldier in front of him into a pulp, and blood splattered his trouser leg.

It's not that he hasn't seen a dead person, but it's the first time he's seen it so miserably, and he can't help but tremble, his legs are weak, and he is afraid that the next stone will fall on his head.

After paying the price of more than 2,000 people, the Song army finally retreated to Hongde City.

As soon as they entered the city, they were not idle. Under the order of Zhe Keshi, the retreating Song army sprinkled the road with thistles, and set up a divine arm crossbow on the city wall, and the hard crossbow launched an attack on the Western Xia soldiers on the main road.

Maybe it was Empress Xiao Liang who gave the death order, or maybe it was the surprise attack of Zhe Keshi that completely angered the Tangut people. Even if the Song army sprinkled the ground with thistles and arrows shot at the Xia army like locusts sweeping the ground, the Xia army still rushed and attacked, and there was a great momentum of not breaking Hong De's vow not to give up.

At this time, Tang Ning, who still had palpitations in his heart, was explaining to Zhe Keshi why Xiaolianghou couldn't die with Chong Jianzhong.

"Judging from the current situation, capturing the Liang clan, or beheading the Liang clan, is an extremely honorable and exciting thing for our army, and even for my Great Song Dynasty.

But from a long-term perspective, only by returning to the Xia Kingdom is the best for us.

The Liang family is an incapable woman, but she is the mother of Li Qianshun, the young lord of the Xia Kingdom. This identity gives her a lot of power, and for a long time, she can toss and turn at will.

It can be seen before that she appointed a large number of Liang's children at the beginning of the curtain to listen to the government, and now in the Xia Kingdom, her relatives are in power, and the Hou Party covers the sky with one hand. And Liang's brother Liang Yikui is not on good terms with Liang, and if Liang and Liang Yikui are allowed to fight, the situation in Xia will become more and more chaotic.

The Xia Kingdom had many people and few places, and there were constant internal strife, so they had no time to deal with external attacks. Even if you have the heart to deal with it, you can't fight wholeheartedly, and you will only be defeated by our western army in the end. Speaking of this, Chong Jianzhong glanced at Tang Ning.

Seeing this, Tang Ning tied a bow with a cloth towel at the wound on his shoulder, and said, "Uncle Chong is right, Liang goes back, although our income is low, it is more durable."

If Liang can't go back, our income will be very high, but it will only be temporary. Liang Yikui took the opportunity to seize power, and in the end we still have to face a united Xia country, and

It is not the Xia Kingdom that began to disintegrate from within. ”

Zhe Keshi is a martial artist, not a politician. He is similar to Di Qing, marching and fighting, and he can fight any battle for you beautifully, but if he is allowed to fight those politicians, he doesn't know how to die.

Listening to Tang Ning and Chong Jianzhong say so much, Zhi Keshi was still a little confused. He couldn't understand why after Xiao Liang died, the western thieves would become united. Why did the western thief begin to disintegrate from the inside when Xiao Liang returned?

In his opinion, it is a great shame to be able to kill, or even capture Xiao Liang alive, but let her run away.

However, Chong Jianzhong said that this was also a kind of Pu's opinion, and Zhe Keshi had no choice but to pinch his nose and admit it.

As the successor of the Seed Army, the Seed Army led by the Seed Tree Army has achieved rich results in battles with the West Thieves many times.

Although the victory or defeat is half-timed, it is inconsequential when it is lost, but it can beat the thief when it wins, which is called Zhi Keshi very admired.

After the wound was bandaged, Zhi Keshi looked at Tang Ning and said, "Actually, I have always had a question I want to ask......

Tang Ning smiled: "General, but it doesn't hurt to say it. ”

secretly rejoiced in his heart, saying that gold shines everywhere, and Zhi Keshi has already seen his ability and began to look for himself as a staff officer.

"Who are you?"

“……”

Chong Jianzhong laughed and said, "General Zhe, this is Huanqing Road...... No, it may be the youngest superintendent of the entire Song Dynasty, and after this battle, his promotion is already a sure thing. ”

When Zhi Keshi heard this, he was very interested, glanced at Tang Ning up and down, and said suspiciously: "I'm still a brave man, I can't see it." Could it be that he made any great achievements in the defensive battle of Huanzhou? ”

Chong Jianzhong said with a smile: "Brave...... Forget it. If there is an eighty-year-old veteran in our Western Army, we can beat him all over the ground with our bare hands. ”

"......" Tang Ning looked at Chong Jianzhong with resentment, and said in his heart that this is too burying people, and he just shot several people to death.

"But this overseer has a lot of tricks, General Zhe, just the first wave of Iron Harrier assault, we used incendiary bombs to resist. This incendiary bomb is exactly what the Governor has studied. ”

Zhe Keshi was impressed by Tang Ning at this time, he wanted to ask before, what was thrown out by the reinforcements from Huanzhou, how did it create a sea of fire on the battlefield in an instant, and it took half a day to extinguish it.

Later, because of the interruption of the battle, this matter was left behind by him. Now that Chong Jianzhong mentioned this thing, he said that Tang Ning was the creator of this thing, but he looked at Tang Ning's thief eyebrows and rat eyes, and he didn't look like a person who could develop such a sharp weapon.

"What kind of incendiary bomb did you really make?"

"It was taught to me by my teacher." Downing replied honestly.

Zhe Keshi wanted to ask again, but suddenly a small soldier ran into the room and said: "Report~!" The thieves have begun to attack the city! ”

"Didn't the Divine Arm Crossbow and the Hard Crossbow prepared earlier have any effect?" Zhi Keshi frowned, on the seventeenth, before the Xia army began to retreat, he had already arrived in Hongde City. After that, he made a lot of preparations, such as the crossbow of the god arm that was erected on the head of the city.

He fully anticipated it before the war

What might happen, being forced to be helpless, returning to Hongde City to defend, is also in his expectation.

But the Tangut people were so desperate, he never expected it.

Standing at the head of the city and watching those fierce Xixia people who were not afraid of death with locust-like arrows, roaring madly towards Hongde City, Zhi Keshi felt that if he didn't move the tiger cannons out, I was afraid that this attack would not be able to resist.

Thinking of this, Zhi Keshi immediately ordered his subordinates to arrange the tiger cannon.

There weren't many stones in the city that could be used as cannonballs for the Tiger Cannon, so Zhe Keshi didn't use this thing in the first place.

Now there is no need to do it, as soon as the order is given, seven or eight huge stones will fly from the city towards the military formation of the Xixia people.

Hongdecheng is on the high side, and although it is not so obvious, there is still a slope present.

When the boulder fell on the slope, it began to roll down, and for a while, everyone in Xixia turned over on their backs. The Poxi army, which attacked the city wall with whirlwind cannons, also suffered heavy losses.

After the four-wheeled tiger cannon, the Western Xia army was already full of mourning. The momentum that was so fearless of death before had been consumed by these dozens of huge stones that fell to the ground with a bang.

After landing, the stone bullet not only has to hit people, but also crushes people. Under the exchange of arrows and stones, the Xia army, which had suffered heavy losses, finally had to start retreating, taking refuge on the hill opposite the Hongdecheng road.

The battle was no longer as fierce as before, but the crossbow fire never stopped. When it was dark, the Xia army and the Song army lit their torches, and the archers and crossbowmen on both sides kept shooting arrows at the place where there was fire, and they could always shoot the unlucky ones.

At the third watch, Zhi Keshi saw that the arrows flying in the direction of the Xia army were not as dense as before, and the Xia army on the main road also began to move slowly towards the mountain, and he felt that the Xia army began to secretly want to retreat over the mountain.

Zhe Keshi felt that he hadn't bitten a large piece of meat on the West Thief yet, and he couldn't let them go easily. Even if you don't kill Xiao Liang, you have to kill Renrong.

So he ordered the city gate to be opened and went out of the city to engage the Xia army.

More than 100,000 people were chased and fought by thousands of people, and the battle of the Tangut people was a model of failure. The commander, in particular, is a mess of command. This is indispensable to the credit of Empress Xiaoliang, this woman made many wrong judgments in a panic, and also issued many wrong instructions.

Wuzang Renrong and Zhang Wang, the two eagle dogs loyal to Xiaolianghou, ordered to carry out Xiaolianghou's order after a dissuasion to no avail.

As a result, we are in the current situation.

This situation was very bad for the Tangut people, but the Song army liked the current situation very much.

Zhe Keshi led the army to attack the Xia army that retreated to the mountain, and at the time of the battle, the mountain road was narrow and the people were very dense. Camels and horses trampled on each other, fell off the cliff, and trampled to death countless times.

Chong Jianzhong was left in Hongde City by Zhe Keshi, and Zhe Keshi also left him a thousand people, if Zhe Keshi was surrounded, he would also be responsible for receiving Zhe Keshi's troops.

Standing at the head of the city with Tang Ning, looking at the battle situation on the other side of the road from a distance, Chong Jianzhong said regretfully: "The thief soldiers have no will to fight, and now General Zhe and the elite he brought are no longer able to be stopped by the thief soldiers."

Alas, I can't wait to experience this grand scene, so I can teach me to experience the thrill of beating a reservoir dog. ”
